For this West Virginia native, making music is more than a dream come true – it’s a chance to go big.
Ponce De’Leioun is a 23-year-old rapper hailing from Wheeling, W.Va. This weekend, he is performing in Morgantown as part of his nationwide tour.
De’Leioun won the tour after performing at a rap competition in New York City early last year. The competition was hosted by Bad Boy Records (P. Did-dy’s label), and the winner received a nationwide tour from the label.
“I thought, ‘maybe I’ll take my chances and compete in one of these tournaments,’” he said. “If I make a good impres-sion, that would be great for me, coming from West Virginia.”
After more than 20 art-ists performed, the judges announced De’Leioun as the winner.
“It was by far the best moment in my life,” he
said. “I’d never been in that light before, so I just went up there and did my thing – and I won.”
But his path hasn’t been easy. He’s been making music for four years, over-coming attitude problems in his youth and a difficult home life. Now, De’Leioun is a student at Fairmont State University and has worked as many as four jobs to support himself.
“You can’t just be lazy and make it,” he said. “If you don’t have some kind of funding to help you, it’s basically impossible to get where you want to be.”
But money isn’t his only challenge. He has to find time for shows and class work.
“Having to drive eight hours to where you’re per-forming, then be back at 10 a.m. for class ... There is so much to do in so little time,” he said.
De’Leioun and his friends have completed his new album “College Life” and are searching for a distributor.

Class aids students on path to futureby shelby toompas
staff writer
West Virginia Universi-ty’s Career Services Cen-ter and Advising Center have teamed up again to offer the course, “Choos-ing Majors and Careers” for students who may still be undecided about their futures.
Even with the variety of courses that explore career options, Toni Jones, associ-ate Director for WVU Stu-
dent Affairs and Career Services, said she and the rest of the course develop-ers and instructors wanted students to be able to have a fast and effective course that focuses directly on helping them plan their future.
This unique course will not only help students pick a major, but it can also help individuals boost their grades by being a one-credit hour course.
“This course, ORIN.
293R, is an eight-week course,” Jones said. “There are three sections for the first half of the semester and three for the second half.”
Developmental advis-ing specialist Eric Godfrey said it’s a practical course on what students need to know about careers and about themselves.
Freshmen to general studies majors and mid-year academy students are all encouraged to sign up
for the course.Jones said once students
figure out their strengths, they can focus on what’s best for them and get in-volved with the depart-ment they’re interested in.
“We do many assign-ments, such as self-assess-ments, to help students figure out their strengths, interests and future ca-reer environments that would work best for them, and I think they really en-joy learning about them-
selves,” Jones said.Career Services Coun-
selor, Adrian Ferrera, said last semester career coun-selor and licensed psychol-ogist Sue Hodgson spoke to each class on how to use and navigate their focus to better help them choose a career and interrupt their results.
“Students come here for a purpose so they can get a job later, and we help them figure out that pur-pose early so they have a
direction,” Ferrera said.Jones said once students
choose their intended paths, they then present a PowerPoint presentation to help them gather infor-mation to reinforce their decision.
After taking this course, students seemed more confident with their future career plans.

WVU lists summer study abroad programsby megan calderado
correspondent
Even though the spring semester has just begun, many students are already looking ahead to their spring and summer vacations.
For those who want to travel, the opportunities WVU offers are virtually endless, and now is the time to start planning.
For French students look-ing to explore the language and culture beyond text-books, WVU offers a four-week trip to France called Vendee. On the trip, stu-dents will travel to Paris and Les Sables d’Olonne, a cul-turally rich beach town and
tourist destination.The trip is offered for
French students at any level. Students who are in upper-level French courses stay with host families, while stu-dents in lower-level French courses stay in dormitory-style living.
The benefits of the trip extend beyond personal enjoyment.
“They come back speak-ing (French) so well, it’s amazing,” said program co-ordinator Jennifer Orlikoff.
The groups attend their classes taught by WVU teachers two days per week, and students earn six cred-its on the trip. For the rest of the time, the two groups
are mixed together as they go on excursions to castles, museums and other cultural activities.
“The excursions are re-ally fun. For example, one day we go to a bread factory, and the students will get to make their own baguettes,” Orlikoff said.
For those who are not avid French speakers but would like to visit a nearby country, a nine-day bus trip to Quebec is also available.
This trip is unique be-cause it is a joint program with other West Virginia schools such as Marshall University and West Virginia State University.
Instead of being taught
by WVU teachers, the stu-dents on the Quebec trip lis-ten to presentations by pro-fessors in English from the Universite Laval and go on excursions every day, such as staying overnight at Ni-agara Falls.
“On both trips, every-one gets to know each other very well, and students end up making life-long friend-ships,” Orlikoff said.
For those interested in spending their summer outdoors, Adventure WV is a WVU-hosted exploration opportunity.

The West Virginia Uni-versity Student Govern-ment Association an-nounced its upcoming election schedule during its regularly scheduled meeting Wednesday.
Vice President Jarred Zuccari said due to a change in this year’s poll-ing process, there will be three polling locations. This year, SGA will uti-lize the Morgantown City Council’s machines to vote.
Two of these locations will be permanent, and one will rotate to a new location on each day of voting.
The two permanent voting stations will be lo-cated at the Mountainlair and the Student Recre-ation Center. Voting will be available at these loca-tions all three days of the election.
The Board of Governors was asked to vote on the three rotating locations from a list of six.
The board elected to ta-ble the decision until next week’s meeting to survey locations with high traffic levels.
In addition to the dis-
cussion of polling loca-tions, elections vice-chair Allison Rollins discussed the importance of upcom-ing candidate informa-tional meetings.
“These candidate meet-ings are a great oppor-tunity for interested stu-dents to gain a greater knowledge of what a cam-paign entails and to hear from former SGA members about their campaign ex-periences,” Rollins said.
Candidate informa-tional meetings will be held Wednesday, imme-diately following the SGA meeting in Room B of Hat-fields and again Jan. 30 im-mediately, following the SGA meeting at Towers.
Further information about candidate packets and filing dates will be dis-cussed at these meetings.
All students interested in SGA are encouraged to attend.
Campaigning will begin Feb. 18, and voting will be held Feb. 26-28.
In other business, Pres-ident Zach Redding an-nounced SGA will be go-ing mobile. Throughout the coming months weekly SGA meetings will be held at various locations across

Within the next week, two West Virginia University graduates will melt the hearts of Morgantown patrons with the grand open-ing of their new restaurant.
Owners Bron Kayal and Travis Tracy are anticipating the opening of their new High Street restaurant, The Fondue Factory.
The restaurant will open within the week, and the hours of operation will be Tues-day-Saturday 4 p.m.-close and Sunday at noon-close.
Kayal and Tracy have been working for the last 6 months to ensure the restaurant will be in the optimum condition.
“Everything was Bron and I,” Tracy said. “From the menu to the decor to the music we will be playing, it’s just been Bron and me.”
For the past week, the owners have been undergoing intense training with their serv-ing staff.
“We are not going to open the door until we feel comfortable the staff is able to per-form the way service needs to be,” Kayal said.
Kayal and Tracy will be introducing a

unique taste to not only Morgantown, but the state, as The Fondue Factory will be the first-ever fondue res-taurant in West Virginia.
“There is no other fon-due restaurant in the entire state,” Kayal said. “People actually travel to Pittsburgh to The Melting Pot, which is the closest fondue restaurant.”
At first glance, The Fon-due Factory may seem like The Melting Pot, but the owners said The Fon-due Factory strives to be different.
“If you’ve ever been to a Melting Pot, it is very dark and formal,” Kayal said. “What we are trying to cre-ate here is an open and bright atmosphere.”
Tracy said another as-pect that makes The Fon-due Factory unique is the homemade sauces for the fondues.
Kayal and Tracy said they are aware of the local mar-ket, and The Fondue Facto-ry’s pricing will be compa-rable with other local fine dining restaurants.
“Our prices are actually going to be about 30 per-cent cheaper than The Melt-ing Pot,” Kayal said.
One sauce they anticipate to be popular is Tracy’s orig-
inal chipotle sauce. The two said they will
bring fondues from across the globe to the restaurant.
“Fondue is not just French or Swiss,” Kayal said. “Fondue can be found all around the world.
“There are Asian fondues, and there are also plates that are truer to American cui-sine that can be served in a fondue setting, such as the Louisiana crab boil.”
He described the cook-ing process and that most of the cooking is left to the customer. A metal pot sits on the burner in the cen-ter of the table, and water is heated at the bottom of the pot. The steam then cooks the food.
“For an entree, the server will mix everything in the fondue pot, and the cus-tomer then uses a fondue fork to cook the meat and vegetables in the broth or oil that they choose.”
“We generally serve a four-course meal, includ-ing an appetizer, salad, en-tree and dessert,” Kayal said.
“It’s not anything like cooking you would do at home.”
For those with a sweet tooth, the Fondue Factory offers a variety of chocolate dessert options, including the fondue Jamaica.
This fondue is a blend of dark chocolate and Mal-ibu rum, and is served with
treats such as marshmal-lows, cheesecakes and an assortment of fruit.
The portions of the meals will serve up to two people, making the prices more af-fordable to the area’s vast college population.
Running a business is no new trade to Kayal, who also owns Coach’s Bar-N-Grille in Morgantown.
He said he knows what makes a potentially good restaurant great.
“We use fresh ingredi-ents,” he said. “All meats and vegetables are very high quality, and since the entree is coming out to the table raw, we pay a lot of at-tention to the quality.”
He said most of the food is bought locally to help the surrounding economy.
“We buy a lot of meats locally,” Kayal said. “We’ve been talking to WVU farms to get a lot of their fresh fish, beef and chicken.”
The owners anticipate be-ing very busy opening week since they have had much response on social media.
“There’s a lot of buzz in town, and a reservation is highly recommended,” Kayal said.
The restaurant is located at 250 High Street. For more information, visit the Face-book page facebook.com/FondueFactory.

different trips year-round, which range from locations in West Virginia to Patago-nia, Chile.
“They all involve class but in a very unique way. Class would be around a campfire or on the coast or on top of a mountain,” said program manager Mar-cedes Minana.
For students who will be sophomores in the fall, Adventure WV offers a two-week road trip to Utah in
summer, which is specifi-cally designed to help pre-pare students to deal with the “sophomore slump.”
“It’s like building a tool-box for success,” Minana said.
Adventure WV also of-fers summer trips outside of the country, with groups traveling to New Zealand and Fiji, both of which last about three weeks immedi-ately after the semester fin-ishes. They are open to all students.
As of this spring, Adven-ture WV is excited to an-nounce it is now the host of
the nation’s first university zip line canopy tour.
These programs are just scratching at the surface of what WVU has to offer its students for summer op-portunities, and students should take advantage of them while they last.

about everything, from not wanting to be in school, to not wanting to leave school everything you’d experi-ence in a college life,” he said.
This often includes par-ties, “dingy rental houses” and the fans who have helped him come this far.
“The push from knowing lots of people respect me and look up to me – that’s enough to drive me to do anything,” he said.
“I’ve definitely had a lot of support since I started, and that’s what makes me who I am. I can’t do this without everybody else.”
De’Leioun began his tour earlier this month, performing in Harlem, New York City. He has other shows scheduled in Ohio, California and North Carolina.

space station to get $18 million balloon-like roomLas VEGas (aP) — NASA
is partnering with a com-mercial space company in a bid to swap out the cum-bersome “metal cans” that now serve as astronauts’ homes in space for inflatable bounce-house-like habitats that can be deployed on the cheap.
A $17.8 million test proj-ect will send an inflatable room that can be com-pressed for delivery into a 7-foot tube to the Interna-tional Space Station, offi-cials said Wednesday dur-ing a news conference at North Las Vegas-based Bi-gelow Aerospace.
If the module proves du-rable during two years at the space station, it could open the door to habitats on the moon and missions to Mars, NASA engineer Glen Miller said.
The agency chose Bigelow for the contract because it was the only company work-ing on the inflatable tech-nology, said NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver.
Founder and president Robert Bigelow, who made
his fortune in the hotel in-dustry before getting into the space business in 1999, framed the gambit as an out-of-this-world real estate venture. He hopes to sell his spare tire habitats to scien-tific companies and wealthy adventurers looking for space hotels.
NASA is expected to in-stall the 13-foot, blimp-like module in a space station port by 2015. Bigelow plans to begin selling stand-alone space homes the next year.
The new technology pro-vides three times as much room as the existing alu-minum models, and is also easier and cheaper to build, Miller said.
Artist renderings of the module resemble a tinfoil clown nose grafted onto the main station. It is hardly big enough to be called a room. Miller described it as a large closet with padded white walls and gear and giz-mos strung from two central beams.
Garver said on Wednes-day that sending a small in-flatable tube into space will
be dramatically cheaper than launching a full-sized module.
“Let’s face it; the most expensive aspect of tak-ing things in space is the launch,” she said. “So the magnitude of important of this for NASA really can’t be overstated.”
The partnership is an-other step toward outsourc-ing for NASA, which no lon-ger enjoys the budget and public profile of its heyday. The agency has handed off rocket-building to private companies, retired it space shuttles in 2011 and now re-lies on Russian spaceships to transport American astro-nauts to and from the space station.
Astronauts will test the ability of the bladder, known as the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, or BEAM, to withstand heat, radiation, debris and other assaults. Some adventurous scientists might also try sleeping in the spare room, which is the first piece of private real estate to be blasted into space, Garver said.
apBigelow Aerospace founder and president Robert Bigelow listens to questions from members of the media during a news conference Wednesday.
class was definitely worth every second of the short amount time,” Jones said. “Another student said it helped them narrow down and discover new majors that were best for them, and they would recom-mend it to anyone who is undecided or just needs a little help choosing one’s major.”
At the beginning of last year’s class, only 21 per-cent were confident, but after just eight weeks, a to-tal of 82 percent were con-fident about which major they would pursue.
At the end of the class, 95 percent knew that they would declare a major by the end of freshman year,
and 84 percent were con-fident about their chosen career interest.
“I think this course truly helps students set goals, research and focus specif-ically on themselves and what they want to do in the future,” Jones said.
“We definitely do this for the students,” Godfrey said. “We want them to stay here and be success-ful in their future.”
Students are not only learning about themselves, but they are learning from each other as well.
“Students are excited about their plan, and they gain a relationship with us and their peers,” Jones said.
WVU holds many activ-ities to help students get involved and interested in what majors and opportu-
nities are out there, such as the upcoming “Major Match” in March in which students will be able to explore several depart-ments in one convenient location.
Jones said last se-mester, there were approximately 50 students enrolled, but they are hop-ing for 80-90 students this semester.
Students can still sign up for the first eight-week course until Friday through the STAR system.

campus. Redding said the idea be-
hind this campaign is to in-crease visibility of Student Government meetings and to provide students an op-portunity to attend a meet-ing who otherwise may not be able to.
“We’ll be moving from Towers to the Law School to the Creative Arts Center. Basically, it will be a way for students from different parts of campus who don’t
come to the Mountainlair to hear and learn more about SGA,” he said.
The first mobile meeting will be held Jan. 30 at Tow-ers. Other dates and loca-tions will be announced as they become available.
Adam Reaves of the American Red Cross was present at Wednesday’s meeting to discuss the Blood Drive sponsored by SGA and the Mountaineer Maniacs.
“Walk-in donors are strongly encouraged, as well as those who wish to volunteer at the blood
drive. Community service hours are available for both donors and volunteers,” Reaves said.
The blood drive will be held today 1-7 p.m. in the Mountainlair Ballrooms.
Reaves also noted there is an urgent need for O neg-ative and B negative blood types. Those who are un-sure of their blood type may stop by the blood drive to find out.
SGA meets Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. in Room B of Hatfields.

West Virginia Dance Company to perform at Met. Theatre
by hunter homistekA&e editor
West Virginia’s only pro-fessional touring dance company, the West Virginia Dance Company, will per-form Doug Varone’s “The Bottomland” tonight at the Metropolitan Theatre.
The show begins at 7:30 p.m. and is certain to thrill fans of dance and the per-forming arts.
“We are proud to support West Virginia’s only profes-sional touring dance com-
pany because of their ar-tistic excellence and the wonderful impact they have had on the region,” said Stephanie Freeman, West Virginia University gradu-ate student in acting.
A famed director, cho-reographer and dance ad-vocate, Varone’s work has been featured in many dif-ferent venues, including opera, television, film, the-atre and fashion.
His company, Doug Va-rone and Dancers, is in its 25th year and boasts 11
New York Dance and Per-formance awards.
“The Bottomland” looks to bring this acclaim and theatre mastery to Morgan-town, and the West Virginia Dance Company has joined forces with WVU’s School of Theatre & Dance to accom-plish this goal.
“The show features professional West Vir-ginia dancers in six dance pieces,” said Joshua Wil-liamson, director at the School of Theatre & Dance. “(It showcases) everything
from classical music to the music of Patty Loveless with choreography that is influ-enced by classical tradi-tions like ballet to Appa-lachian influences in the context of modern dance.”
Williamson hopes this performance will raise in-terest in dance at WVU and craft a larger appreciation for the art.
“We are partnering with them (the West Virginia Dance Company) in an ef-fort to promote dance at WVU as we get ready to roll
out a new major in dance for students,” William-son said. “The dance con-cert features contempo-rary, modern dance with classical elements that will appeal to audiences of all ages.”
The night’s featured piece, “The Bottomland,” parallels the experiences of many West Virginians, and it utilizes movement and musical stylings to convey a sentimental and inspiring tale of loneliness, compas-sion and community.
Tickets to the event can be purchased from the Mountainlair and Creative Arts Center box office lo-cations or by phone at 304-293-SHOW.
Pricing is $15 for the gen-eral public, $12 for senior citizens and $10 for WVU students with a valid stu-dent ID.

Neil Gaiman’s ‘American Gods’ to make television debut on HBO
creatliv.comEnglish author Neil Gaiman will adapt his novel ‘American Gods’ for network television.
by laura ciarollaA&e writer
Neil Gaiman and Playtone productions have confirmed a new series for HBO.
One of Gaiman’s most popular novels, “American Gods,” is slated for a late 2013 or 2014 release as a six-sea-son television series, featur-ing 10-12 one-hour episodes in each season.
“American Gods” fol-lows the story of ex-convict Shadow, who accepts a job from a mysterious stranger after his release from prison.
Shadow is immediately pulled into the world of his bizarre employer, and as ex-traordinary events begin to unfold, all of his conceptions of the world are thrown into question.
The novel features char-acters inspired by many my-thologies and religions, as well as modern-day deities created by Gaiman, such as a god of technology and of media.
According to Collider.com, Playtone announced this new development in 2011 and ap-
pointed Gaiman to write the series.
Gaiman already has some experience writing for televi-sion; an episode he wrote for the sixth season of “Doctor Who” quickly became a fan favorite.
Another of Gaiman’s nov-els, “Stardust,” was also adapted to screen as a film in 2007 and was generally re-ceived well by audiences.
The seasoned writer feels this particular novel will do much better as a television series than a movie, but the challenge of adapting the script to television has com-plicated its release.
“Over the years, I’ve had phone calls from major di-rectors or major actors. They say, ‘I want to make it into a movie,’ and I say, ‘Great. How?’” Gaiman said in an in-terview at the Edinburgh In-ternational Book Festival in 2011.
“And at that point, I would always have to apologize for the fact that I wrote it while I was doing a couple of screen-plays and was incredibly grumpy at the idea of doing
124-page stories with begin-nings, middles and ends and several beginnings, and mid-dles all over the place. So I ac-tually like the idea that HBO are doing it.”
Robert Richardson, who worked on Quentin Taranti-no’s “Kill Bill” and “Inglori-ous Basterds,” is set to make his directorial debut with the series.
Playtone also announced the tentative budget for the series – a whopping $35-40 million per season. Playtone’s Gary Goetzman assures it will be used well, however.
“There are some crazy things in (American Gods).
We’ll probably be doing more effects in there than it’s been done on a television series,” Goetzman said.
Some fans of the novel may be wary of the extended on-screen adaptation, since the novel itself is only 624 pages.
That adds up to about 10 pages per episode, if you were to divvy it up.
Keep in mind, though, Gaiman himself will be writ-ing the episodes, and he al-ready expressed a desire to expand on the material in the book.
“I want to make it faithful, but also would like it to have a few surprises for people who
read the book,” Gaiman said in an interview with Collider.com. “I hate that thing where people have read the books and they go, ‘Oh, I know ev-erything that’s going to hap-
pen.’ I want to be like, ‘Okay, no you don’t.’
“I want there to still be some surprises.”

Exercise caution with social mediaWe’ve all been there –
you’re scrolling through your news feed wondering if everyone you attended high school with made a pact to have children at the same time without your knowledge when a friend request appears from a per-son you’ve never met.
Online interaction has become a fixture in today’s world. People meet, be-come friends and start re-lationships over the web, and entire sites are created to develop relationships online.
While any stigma at-tached to online relation-
ships has considerably lessened over time, there are still issues surround-ing the profiles we inter-act with and create online – especially when they’re not real.
Recently, many news outlets across the coun-try have reported on Notre Dame linebacker and Heisman runner-up Manti Te’o’s strength when faced with the loss of his grand-mother and girlfriend during the 2012 football season. The tragedy sur-rounding Te’o’s girlfriend, Lennay Kekua, who was re-portedly involved in a seri-
ous car accident and sub-sequently diagnosed with lukemia, became fodder for news outlets across the country.
As it turns out, Kekua is nothing more than a few pictures pulled from a stranger’s profile and a Twitter handle. The revela-tion that Kekua was an in-vention of friend Ronaiah Tuiasosopo has created an uproar in the sports com-munity and ignited a surge of speculation for Te’o, who has denied knowledge of the fabrication.
Between the growing popularity of MTV’s show
“Catfish” and bizarre sto-ries like Te’o’s, the question of who can be trusted in an online setting can seem daunting.
It’s important to remem-ber that the Internet, much like the real world, is full of pitfalls. Deception comes in many forms – bullying becomes cyberbullying, stalking becomes cyber-stalking. In fact, you can tack “cyber-” to the front of almost anything and make it an online issue.
Last year, 17 percent of marriages were the result of online dating. LinkedIn, a website that connects pro-
fessionals across the world and allows users to show-case their resumes and job skills for potential employ-ers, reached 200 million members this year. Face-book, Twitter, Tumblr, Ins-tagram – the fact is, a huge amount of our day-to-day interaction occurs online.
Avoiding online inter-action with strangers en-tirely is a lot like going to the same restaurant every day and ordering the same meal – you know what to expect, but it’s also all you can ever expect.

Once again, the state of West Virginia has been insulted.
MTV has debuted its new show, Buckwild, and it plans to further tarnish the repu-tation of the one state peo-ple still can’t manage to re-member is independent of Virginia.
The episodes that have aired thus far have included a dump truck swimming pool, yelling rednecks caus-ing ruckuses, a West Vir-ginia waterslide and a trip to Karma - all traditionally classy pastimes.
During each episode, my Twitter feed explodes. It is full of those who feel the cast is having a great time, and it is full of those who are insulted by the fact this is what rep-resents the state. More im-portantly, there have been people declaring that these classless displays will make a degree from West Vir-ginia University worth less, somehow.
Sadly, the people saying this are not out-of-state peo-ple. They aren’t the people who see Buckwild and know nothing else of West Virginia. No, the people who think this is a detriment to their degrees are my fellow Mountaineers.
As a native West Virginian, I take offense. Not offense just at the fact that these neg-ative stereotypes are once again being propagated and mocked, not that my degree could somehow lose value, despite my skills, but offense at the fact that our culture, as rich as it is, means nothing to most of the rest of the nation – and perhaps less to the peo-ple of the state.
“Hillbillies” and “red-necks” are stereotypes we’ll never be able to escape. But rather than hang our heads at this, we need to embrace the Mountaineers we are. Our Mascot is more than a stereotype in buckskins car-rying a rifle. He’s our history.
Many seem to have for-gotten this. This year at the Country Music Awards, Brad Paisley spoke of his time growing up in Tennes-see. Has he forgotten about Wheeling, W.Va., or does this part of his past only matter when he can exploit his old high school, John Marshall, and make a music video with their theater department?
Time and again, these in-sults rise up. In November, K-State Mask made a rather uninspired video mock-ing West Virginians in song. Nevermind that these insults came from the cultural gold-mine of Manhattan, Kan., but the outrageous way our state was personified was abso-lutely wrong and completely uncalled for.
Even the Mountaineer himself was called into ques-
tion for hunting with his mus-ket. Maybe hunting in char-acter is a little much, but is that what bothered people, or was it the fact he was hunting – a distinctly rural pastime? Many people were offended, not that he shot a bear, not that he shot it as the Moun-taineer, but that this follows a stereotype they seek to escape.
Why, then, are we so des-perate to escape it?
Even those of us who grew up in a suburb some-where in the state have felt the effects of West Virginia. We woke up every morning to trees and hills, we felt the stigma of being West Virgin-ians, and we learned we can be just as intelligent and edu-cated as anyone else, but we can maintain our connection with the hard-working state we know so well.
The nonsensical carica-tures only have power if we, as West Virginians, allow them to scare us out of our real culture.
WVU has kept its past close. Our marching band plays songs like “The West Virginia Hills” and “Moun-tain Dew” every game during their pregame performance. These songs celebrate our past – they take the beautiful with the questionable.
We shouldn’t get angry that the nation thinks we’re country; we should embrace it. “Thank God I’m a Coun-try Boy” shouldn’t be aban-doned, because country isn’t a bad thing. It’s part of who we are, and we can’t let anyone tell us that urban is somehow better simply be-cause it’s urban.
West Virginia is a place de-fined by its Civil War past, its coal miners, farmers and its Mountaineers. This should not be something we want to leave behind because we assume some other culture is inherently better. This is something we should re-member and embrace, be-cause it is a vital part of who we are as a state.
MTV can take the atroc-ity that is Buckwild, and they can take it somewhere else. I love my hills. I won’t be em-barrassed of my roots in ru-ral West Virginia because someone who can’t write a TV show that’s anything but a cheap revamp of the train wreck that was The Jersey Shore says I should be.
West Virginia is fiddles, banjos, mountains and riv-ers. It’s moonshine and coalmines, and no matter who says this is something to be ashamed of, it’s a part of every Mountaineer.
And remember, as Bill Stewart said in his famous Fiesta Bowl speech, “It’s Mountaineer pride – noth-ing cheap.” Don’t let any-one cheapen what the state means.
This wild and wonderful state deserves better.

Student loans are near and dear to all our hearts. You like them a lot more than I do at this point, I promise. Making pay-ments is not nearly as fun as receiving refunds. Re-funds end up as new lap-tops or tablets, nights out with friends, and a spring break trip we never for-get. Repayment means box wine at home instead of bar tabs, Netflix instead of cable, and stay-cation instead of vacation.
The student loan debt tally is soaring higher and higher and seemingly has no end in sight. Colleges and universities have lit-tle incentive to truly con-trol prices because there are so many people will-ing to finance enormous amounts of money to get a degree.
We have been social-ized to believe and think that everyone should get a college degree. Student loans exist to make that reality.
We thought the same about owning a home and sub-prime lending made that a possibility. The end result was and still is a huge disaster. Borrow-
ers could borrow far more money than their home was worth with little cor-relation to their ability to repay. Financing a college education is no different.
Federal student loans are not based on your ability to repay. You can borrow the same amount of money for a degree that could land you a job mak-ing $35,000 as you could for one that could allow you to earn $75,000.
We should put the blame on the university for charging the same price for those two de-grees because they don’t have the same economic value. We all decide what we want to study and I’m not suggesting that one is better or more impor-tant than the other; I men-tion that only because we need to make smart finan-cial decisions about our future.
According to the uni-versity, the cost of at-tending U. Toledo with no grants or scholarships with living on campus is $23,108 per year. That is $93,432 for a four year de-gree. That is an enormous monthly payment to make after graduation, whether you are working or not. And that debt isn’t like other debts you have or will incur later – you own
it forever.It is almost impossi-
ble to discharge a student loan in bankruptcy and the lenders don’t play by the same rules as other creditors. They can gar-nish your wages, take your tax refunds, take a portion of your social security or the social security of your cosigner, and the list goes on.
The good news is that federal student loans have far more options for help than their private coun-terparts, so please avoid private loans if at all pos-sible. One of the biggest advantages is loan for-giveness (not for private loans) if you work in pub-lic service. This option al-lows for graduates to take jobs in the public sector that typically don’t pay as well as private sector jobs, and have the balance of their loans forgiven after meeting certain require-ments. You can read all the details at http://www.finaid.org/loans/public-service.phtml.
As a bankruptcy attor-ney, the number of peo-ple I see with unmanage-able student loan debt is staggering and frighten-ing. In almost every case, they have borrowed far more money than they could ever possibly repay
given the field they have chosen. I’m not talking just about artists, film, or liberal arts majors. I am talking about teachers, attorneys, accountants and even doctors and en-gineers. Even if they are lucky enough to get a job with a high salary, the student loan payment is equally as high. And fil-ing bankruptcy isn’t as easy as it used to be, so now they may not qualify even if student loans were dischargeable.
Do yourself and your family a huge favor and borrow responsibly. Don’t borrow more than you have to. Work part time and use that money for rent and spring break, not student loan money. You have options; do some re-search before you sign any loan documents. Talk to someone in the financial aid office.
Talk with your parents or someone you trust that understands finance and money to help you under-stand what you are getting yourself into. Your educa-tion is the door to a bright and successful futur,e and being as responsible as possible now will make sure that paying for that education doesn’t devas-tate your future.
Good luck!
Borrow responsibly

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
BORN TODAY This year you will make an unusually strong effort to keep the peace; however, remember that you are human. You will remain responsive to others’ demands only to a certain point. You will be coming from a place of clarity and compas-sion, even in your professional life. If you are single, a serious yet attractive member of the opposite sex strolls right through your door. This event is far more likely to occur during the second half of your birthday year. If you are attached, the two of you have serious talks and become more ac-cepting of each other.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH Avoid getting into a situ-ation where control is the major is-sue. Once that behavior is eliminated or toned down, you will be able to see the feelings behind the manip-ulation. A partner could be uptight about a money matter. Tonight: A friend wants you to join him or her.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HH Pull back and do some thinking before acting on an evolving situation with a difficult loved one. You might want to stop making judgments. When you walk in this person’s shoes, you will gain a very different perspective. To-night: Get into a favorite hobby.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH A meeting energizes you to become more proactive about a long-term goal or desire. It is you who will need to make this happen. Work or a mat-ter you deal with on a daily basis might be bringing you down. Con-sider accepting an invitation. To-
night: Make plans with a friend or loved one.
CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Step forward, and be willing to take a stand with someone who makes many demands. This person is not a good fit with your personality. A part-ner might be unusually controlling. You might need to subtly root out the issue. Tonight: Find your best friend and make plans.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to experts or peo-ple you respect for advice. When you hit a roadblock, you might want a different take on how to bypass it. A matter involving real estate or your personal life could mark a decision. Tonight: Read between the lines.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Relate to an associate directly. You’ll hear what this person is saying, but you might wonder if there is a hidden agenda behind his or her words. Do not be overserious in a conversation, yet be sure to express your bottom line. Tonight: Off to the gym.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Defer to a strong-willed associate or friend. Apparently, this person has a strong vision for what needs to hap-pen. Having your trust makes him or her feel good. Whether this fact is true is another question! Your choices often are made from a realistic per-spective. Tonight: Say “yes.”
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Pace yourself, as you could have a lot to do. You might hit a wall in a discus-sion, or perhaps someone seems to be pulling away. His or her perception of you might be the same. Be more
open, and make time in the near fu-ture for a long-overdue talk. Tonight: Choose a stressbuster.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Stay focused regarding an important conversation. A disagree-ment could emerge over a financial issue with a partner or loved one. Look at what exists below that sur-face. What is he or she really ask-ing for? Tap into your imagination for answers. Tonight: Express your playfulness.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) H HH
H You have a lot going on around your home and personal life. You could have a very strong reaction to a discussion. You’ll become quite controlling, if you are not careful. In that mindset, you will hit a stalemate. Is that what you want? Tonight: Buy someone a gift on the way home.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH Do not stand on ceremony. Everyone will be happier once there is resolution, and the answer is in your hands. You need to get past a personal issue. The issue arose long before a key person became involved in the present scenario. Tonight: Join a friend at a favorite spot.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH
Be aware of the costs of a problem that evolves. One path might be hard on your ego. A different path involves spending more money than you would like to. Tonight: Treat yourself.

Owen Schmitt to show musical side
media.philly.comFormer WVU and professional football star Owen Schmitt will perform with the Davisson Brothers Band tonight at Fat Daddy’s Bar & Grill.
by hunter homisteka&e editor
Owen Schmitt will return to Morgantown at Fat Dad-dy’s Bar & Grill tonight at 10 p.m.
The former West Vir-ginia University, Seattle Se-ahawks and Philadelphia Eagles fullback is not sign-ing autographs or talking about his football career, though – he’s playing music.
“Owen left a huge imprint on WVU’s campus; it’s hard not to support anything he does,” said event promoter Adam Payne. “However, he’s not some musician rid-ing on football glory. Owen has passion for music, and it shows.”
Schmitt will make the trek to Fat Daddy’s to sit in and jam select songs with the West Virginia-based Da-visson Brothers Band.
This performance by the Clarksburg, W.Va., group marks the first install-ment of “Live Music Night,” a weekly concert at Fat Daddy’s.
“Music to Your Ears Pro-ductions is excited to bring music to yet another lo-cal Morgantown establish-ment,” Payne said. “Fat Dad-dy’s offers a great stage for
musicians to display their talent in front of a new au-dience, and the atmosphere is very open to all forms of music enthusiasts.”
Payne said he hopes to bring a variety of musi-cal styles and tastes to Fat Daddy’s over the course of this recurring Thursday
night event, and he plans to showcase the finest lo-cal acts on a previously un-tapped stage.
“Each week will offer
a different environment, depending on the music genre,” Payne said. “That will allow Thursdays to al-ways be fresh and a new
experience.” For the debut perfor-
mance, Payne will load the stage with the star power of the Davisson Brothers Band, a perennial crowd fa-vorite in the area.
The group’s style blends elements of country, South-ern rock and bluegrass to create a distinctively Appa-lachian sound that will res-onate with the Mountain State crowd.
One fan the Davisson Brothers Band captured during its storied run along the East Coast is Schmitt, and the football star has played with the group on occasion in recent years, most notably at the 2011 Jamboree in the Hills.
With the Davisson Broth-ers Band and Owen Schmitt on board for this kickoff performance, Fat Daddy’s Bar & Grill provides the re-lease from the pressures and stress of the first week of classes.
Come out, enjoy some good tunes and meet a Uni-versity legend.
Concertgoers must be 21 years or older to attend, and there will be a $5 cover charge.
university faculty member to lecture at Creative Arts Centerby AleC berry
web editor
Robert “Boomer” Moore will discuss the work and process behind his latest gallery, “Just Add Water,” to-night in the Laura Mesaros Gallery of the Creative Arts Center.
Moore is an established faculty member at West Vir-ginia University, and the event will allow students and community members alike to view his work and
gain further insight into his process and life as an artist.
The gallery features ce-ramic and mixed-media work that centers on a water theme inspired by Moore’s trips to China.
“I can’t really think of a time or place in China when I was told ‘it’s safe to drink the water,’” Moore said. “In the dorms I would stay in, they would shut the water off at certain times, so to take a shower or even flush the toi-let you had to wait.
“Those experiences abroad made me realize how often people here in the United States take water for granted.”
The pieces in Moore’s gal-lery reflect his fluid theme in various ways.
He mentions color as a big component of tone and texture, but he has also in-corporated plumbing hard-ware to craft a bigger picture.
Moore tackles both the good and bad relating to the subject, whether it is the
use of water for recreation or for larger concerns of conservation.
“It really hits the whole truth of whatever deals with water,” Moore said.
Moore joined the WVU staff in 2008. He previously worked as a studio instruc-tor at Ohio University in Ath-ens, Ohio.
Moore studied ceram-ics at Montana State Uni-versity and received a B.A. before obtaining a master’s from Utah State University
in 1999. Moore’s work has been
featured nationally at nu-merous exhibitions such as the National Council on Ed-ucation for the Ceramic Arts Clay National 2003, Amer-ican Shino 2002 and The Fletcher Challenge 1998.
In addition, Moore’s cre-ations have been featured in publications such as The Ceramic Design Book, and he has hosted many ceramic workshops.
Most members of the
CAC staff receive an oppor-tunity to exhibit their work, and Moore is glad to take the spotlight.
Students rarely view his work, and he hopes this lec-ture and gallery opening can open doors and inspire a few WVU art students.
The lecture will begin at 5 p.m. with a gallery showing directly after.
The event is free and open to the public.
NEW YORK (AP) — Days before President Barack Obama’s inauguration for a second term in office, Fox News Channel has signed Dennis Kucinich, one of his former opponents, to be a regular contributor.
Kucinich, a presiden-tial candidate in 2004 and 2008 who ended 16 years in Congress two weeks ago, will make his debut as a Fox contributor on Thursday’s edition of “The O’Reilly Factor,” the network said Wednesday.
“I’ve always been im-pressed with Rep. Ku-cinich’s fearlessness and thoughtfulness about im-portant issues,” Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes said. “His willingness to take a stand from his point of view makes him a valuable voice in our country’s debate.”
Fox is the nation’s top-ranked cable news network, particularly popular with Republicans. Its big-name Republican contributors in-clude Karl Rove, Sarah Palin and John Bolton. Demo-crats in the Fox stable in-clude Evan Bayh, Joe Trippi and Bob Beckel.
Kucinich was elected to the Cleveland city council at age 23 and, at 31, became one of the nation’s youngest mayors. He’s also been an Ohio state senator and run his own communications and marketing firm.
“Fox News has always provided me with an op-portunity to share my per-spective with its enormous viewership,” he said.

Improving WVU still has long
way to goIt was tough to not
scratch your head a couple weeks ago when the West Virginia men’s basketball team was in the middle of blowing a 12-point second- half lead to Oklahoma.
The Mountaineers were soft.
They weren’t playing hard.
They were basically the exact opposite of what ev-ery other team coached by Bob Huggins had been, and their record and per-formances were showing it.
West Virginia, at the time, was 7-6 and looked well on its way to missing its first NCAA tournament since Huggins took over six sea-sons ago. And to be hon-est, three games later, it still looks that way.
But the Mountaineers have made some small im-provements. They’ve started to play with a lot more effort and energy than previously.
Playing like that and get-ting back to the style of play that Huggins wants has given them more con-fidence – and it has shown at times.
With that said, Wednes-day night’s loss on the road against Iowa State proved that, even with the added effort, there’s still plenty of work this team has to do before it can think about making another trip to the NCAA tournament.
Offensively, this team hasn’t improved much at all. The Mountaineers have started to score better, but still lack a true go-to scorer to give the ball in close games or with the game on the line.
It doesn’t help that it’s been a while since this team has been able to play its five best players on the floor at the same time. Ju-wan Staten just played for the first time since the first half of the Texas game, but then Terry Henderson missed Iowa State with a back injury.
Of course things can change when everyone gets back and healthy, but I’m not buying it yet. I’m not sure if it’s a chemistry thing or what, and it’s un-derstandable that such a young team could struggle, but this team hasn’t been able to play with any kind of consistency.
For periods of time, they’ll play well and then, for an even longer period of time, the Mountaineers will fail to score and teams will either get back in the game or extend their lead.
The best example of that is looking at this team’s sec-ond-half run Wednesday night. The Mountaineers were playing with so much effort when they were play-ing well, but real teams can play with that type of effort the entire 40 minutes.
This West Virginia team has allowed those droughts to hurt its confidence too much this season, and the amount the Mountaineers have struggled and how poorly they play when they can’t make shots is a big reason they’ve lost a lot of the games they’ve lost.
Since Huggins has been at WVU, his teams have always done what tour-nament teams do. Even if their record doesn’t show it, because of the daunt-ing schedules the Moun-taineers usually play, they do enough things the right way, and you just have a feeling that they can find a way to earn a spot in the tournament by winning a few marquee games that will look good on their resume.
I’m not sure if this team has the ability to do that from what they’ve shown up to this point in the season.
And if they don’t prove me wrong soon, they’ll be watching the NCAA tour-nament from home this season.

For the first time since 2002, the West Virginia men’s basketball team does not have a winning record through its first 16 games.
The Mountaineers’ unex-pected second-half come-back fell short as WVU (8-8, 1-3) lost on the road to Iowa State (12-4, 2-1) 69-67 Wednesday night in front of 13,140 in Ames, Iowa.
“Let’s be honest – we’re a call or two away from be-ing 3-1 in the league, in-stead of 1-3,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins on his postgame radio show. “We just con-tinue to shoot ourselves in the foot by not making ro-tations … But I’m proud of our guys.”
West Virginia trailed by as many as 18 points in the second half and missed its first 12 3-point attempts, before storming back to tie the game with 12 seconds remaining after making nine of its final 12 3-point attempts.
Iowa State’s Georges Niang made a layup with three seconds remaining,
and the Mountaineers were unable to get a shot before time expired.
West Virginia sopho-more guard Jabarie Hinds led the Mountaineers with 20 points on 8-of-22 shoot-ing, while freshman guard Eron Harris chipped in 17 points.
The Mountaineers were able to jump out to an 11-3 lead early in the game, but poor shooting and defen-sive lapses in which they were beaten backdoor by the Cyclones led to the sud-den turnaround.
Iowa State led by three at the half and opened the second half on an 18-4 run.
Huggins’ team was able to rally back with an 11-0 run. Senior guard Matt Humphrey, who made his first appearance since the Radford game Dec. 22 pro-vided the Mountaineers with quality minutes off the bench while draining 3-pointers.
With Humphrey on the floor, West Virginia used a four-guard look to pene-trate and kick to generate open looks. A formula that not only put the Moun-taineers in a position to
win, but also one Huggins will be forced to use in fu-ture games.
“The truth of the mat-ter is the team was built to play in the Big East (Confer-ence),” Huggins said. “This is not a big, physical league. Everyone is playing smaller and quicker guys … We’re going to switch everything. We’re going to play one big and switch everything.”
West Virginia and Iowa State both shot 41 per-cent from the field. Melvin Ejim paced four Cyclones in double figures with 16 points.
The Mountaineers have now lost two-straight Big 12 Conference games and three of their last four. Hug-gins said he feels his team will learn from games like this, but as far as moral vic-tories go, “We’re long past that now,” he said.

Wvu ready for first match after breakBy joN fehreNs
sports writer
For the West Virginia wrestling team, winter break consisted of two-a-days, matches and just a four-day rest to see their families for Christmas.
Head coach Craig Turn-bull’s most difficult chal-lenge during that time was keeping his team motivated and focused while most WVU students were away for break.
“Keeping the guys going every day was a bit of strug-gle. They come in twice a day sometimes, so I had to change the practices up a bit,” Turnbull said. “Some days we would have soft days, and watch tape. Other days, we’re hitting the mat hard and having serious workouts, but that is what they are used too.
“My family is used to it. We didn’t have a Thanksgiv-ing, either, and these kids that have been wrestling for a long time are used to it, also.”
Junior Nathan Pennesi, who leads the team in vic-tories this season, saw his schedule of sleeping, eating and wrestling become tire-some and said he found it hard to focus at times.
“Every day, you come in, and you feel like you are do-ing the same thing,” he said. “Since there is no one here, all you feel like you are do-ing is just wrestling and sleeping.
“I made a game plan be-fore each practice; I would
go in and see what I can try and accomplish in each practice.”
Finding their focus will not be hard for this week-end’s upcoming match against Oklahoma State, a team loaded with some of the top wrestlers in the country.
Playing a team like this will be nothing new for the Mountaineers, who faced a similarly stacked lineup against No.1 Penn State.
Coach Turnbull said he sees any win this weekend as an upset, but he expects his team to come out better and compete harder than they did against Penn State.
“Some of the guys were in a kind of awe when they went against Penn State. They weren’t ready for that kind of competition,” Turn-bull said. “Now that they have seen the best com-petition, they can be fo-cused and can expect what is coming.
“My preparation hasn’t changed much at all; we just need to go out there and when it is their time to wres-tle hopefully they can per-form the way they want too.”
Pennesi has taken this week with no competition to prepare himself even more for Oklahoma State. The ju-nior is entering this week-
end’s match with a different, more relaxed mindset.
“I’m going in there not trying to be shocked by the atmosphere. This is one of the toughest places to com-pete in the country,” Pen-nesi said. “We can’t get overwhelmed, and we have to stop putting them at such a high standard. You want to wrestle well, but in order to that, you just have to wrestle the way you do.”
This weekend’s match marks West Virginia’s first event in the Big 12 Confer-ence this season.
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — A story about Manti Te’o’s girlfriend dying of leuke-mia, which the Notre Dame All-American credited with inspiring him as he led the Fighting Irish to the BCS title game, turned out to be a hoax apparently per-petrated against the line-backer, the school said Wednesday.
The university issued a news release Wednesday after Deadspin.com re-ported it could find no re-cord that Lennay Kekua ever existed.
The university said that Notre Dame coaches were
informed by Te’o and his parents on Dec. 26 that Te’o had been the victim of what appeared to be a hoax. Someone using a fictitious name “apparently ingrati-ated herself with Manti and then conspired with others to lead him to believe she had tragically died of leu-kemia,” the school said.
The university said “the proper authorities” are in-vestigating a “very cruel deception to entertain its perpetrators.” Notre Dame would not say who, specif-ically, was investigating the case.
The week before Notre
Dame played Michigan State on Sept. 15, coach Brian Kelly told reporters that Te’o’s grandmother and a friend had died. Te’o didn’t miss the game. He said Kekua had told him not to miss a game if she died. Te’o turned in one of his best performances of the season in the 20-3 vic-tory in East Lansing, and his playing through heart-ache became a prominent theme during the Irish’s undefeated regular season.
Te’o went on the be-come a Heisman Trophy finalist, finishing second in the voting, and lead-
ing Notre Dame to its first appearance in the BCS championship.
Te’o and the Irish lost the title game to Alabama, 42-14 on Jan. 7. He has gradu-ated and was set to begin preparing for the NFL com-bine and draft at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., this week.
Four days ago Te’o posted on his Twitter ac-count: “Can’t wait to start training with the guys! Wor-kin to be the best! The grind continues! (hash)Future”
Te’o’s mother did not immediately return a call seeking comment.

eagles hire oregon’s chip kellyPHILADELPHIA (AP) — In
the end, Chip Kelly chose the NFL, giving the Eagles their guy.
Philadelphia hired Kelly on Wednesday, just 10 days after he decided to stay at Oregon. The 49-year-old Kelly, known as an offensive innovator, becomes the 21st coach in team history and replaces Andy Reid, who was fired on Dec. 31 after a 4-12 season.
He’ll be introduced at a news conference Thursday at 1:30 p.m. at the Eagles’ practice facility.
Kelly, who was 46-7 in four years at Oregon, in-terviewed with the Eagles, Cleveland Browns and Buf-falo Bills in a two-day span after leading the fast-fly-ing No. 2 Ducks to a victory over Kansas State in the Fi-esta Bowl on Jan. 3.
The Eagles are known to have interviewed 11 candi-dates, including two meet-ings with Seahawks de-fensive coordinator Gus Bradley. All along, Kelly was thought to be Philadelphia’s first choice in a long, ex-haustive process that took many twists.
“Chip Kelly will be an out-standing head coach for the Eagles,” owner Jeffrey Lurie said in a statement. “He has a brilliant football mind. He motivates his team with his actions as well as his words. He will be a great leader for us and will bring a fresh energetic approach to our team.”
On the day he fired Reid, Lurie appeared to be de-scribing Kelly when he said he wanted to find a “real smart, forward-thinking coach” who is “strategic, a strong leader, very comfort-able in his own skin.”
The enigmatic Kelly re-portedly was close to sign-ing with the Browns after a long interview on Jan. 4. He
met with the Eagles for nine hours the next day, setting up a soap-opera scenario in which the Eagles were com-peting with Browns CEO Joe Banner, their former presi-dent and longtime friend of Lurie who left the organiza-tion after a falling out.
But that roller coaster ended when Kelly opted to remain – temporarily – in Eugene, Ore. At the time, it was the second straight year Kelly had entertained over-tures from NFL teams only to reject them. He turned down Tampa Bay’s job deep into negotiations last season.
“It’s a very difficult deci-sion for me. It took me so long to make it just because the people here are special,” Kelly told KEZI-TV. “The challenge obviously is excit-ing for me, but it’s an excit-ing time and it’s a sad time – saying goodbye to people you love and respect, and I wanted to make sure I talked to my players and did it in the right fashion and talked to our staff. I feel I did.”
The Eagles interviewed two other high-profile col-lege coaches — Penn State’s Bill O’Brien and Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly. Both of them elected to stay with their schools and Philadel-phia issued a statement Sat-urday saying it would con-tinue its search as planned.
Bradley was considered by many to be the lead-ing contender, though for-mer Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt and former Ravens coach Brian Billick were in the mix.
That all changed when Kelly had a change of heart.
The visor-wearing Kelly built Oregon into a na-tional powerhouse. The Ducks went to four straight BCS bowl games – includ-ing a bid for the national championship against Au-burn two seasons ago – and
have won three conference championships.
Kelly originally went to Oregon in 2007 as offensive coordinator under Mike Bellotti. Before that, he was offensive coordinator at New Hampshire, where he started devising the inno-vative hurry-up offense the Ducks are known for now.
Oregon finished last sea-son 12-1. The team was ranked No. 1 and appeared headed for another shot at the national championship until a 17-14 overtime loss to Stanford Nov. 17.
It’s unknown whether the possibility of NCAA sanc-tions based on Oregon’s use of recruiting services fac-tored into Kelly’s reversal. Kelly indicated in Arizona that he isn’t running from anything.
“We’ve cooperated fully with them,” he said. “If they want to talk to us again, we’ll continue to cooperate fully. I feel confident in the situation.”
Following the bowl, Kelly said he wanted to get the interview process over “quickly.” Turns out, it was anything but.
“It’s more a fact-finding mission,” Kelly said after the Ducks defeated the Wild-cats, 35-17, “finding out if it fits or doesn’t fit.”
Kelly, who never said if he was leaning one way or another following the bowl, doesn’t have any pro coach-ing experience, but aspects of his up-tempo offense are already being used by some NFL teams, including New England and Washington.
“I know that people want to talk to me because of our players,” he said after his fi-nale. “The success of our football program has always been about our guys.”
The Eagles fired Reid af-ter two forgettable years. A late flurry brought the team
to an 8-8 finish last season, but this season, Philadel-phia endured an eight-game losing streak, and dropped 11 of its final 12 games. A 3-1 start soon washed away, and Reid’s 14-year tenure ended not long after. Within a week, Reid was Kansas City’s new coach.
Still, Kelly has tough shoes to fill. Reid won more game than any coach in franchise history and led the Eagles to nine playoff appearances, six division ti-tles, five conference cham-pionship games and a loss to New England in the Su-per Bowl following the 2004 season.
Kelly and the Eagles, who have won just 12 games the last two seasons, after win-ning the NFC East in 2010, have the No. 4 overall pick in the draft as well as some talented players on offense who could fit his up-tempo scheme. Running back LeSean McCoy and wide re-ceivers DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin seem like an ideal match. Quarterback Nick Foles, however, isn’t.
“I’ve never run the zone read,” Foles said after the season. “I’m more of a drop-back guy. I’ve been under center. I’ve been in the gun. If I can adapt, I want to. But I’m not a zone-read quarter-back. Some people are gifted with different things. That’s just not one of my skill sets. I can work on the speed in the offseason and get better with that. But I’ve always been a dropback guy in the pocket. I’ve been able to make plays on my feet throwing the ball or running for a first down.”
On the other hand, Mi-chael Vick could be per-fect. But it’s unlikely the Ea-gles would want to pay the $16 million they’d have to shell out for an injury-prone quarterback, who will be 33 next season.

The West Virginia wom-en’s basketball team earned its third consec-utive Big 12 Conference win Tuesday after defeat-ing TCU by a comfortable 8-point margin. That score, though, isn’t indicative of how close the game actu-ally was.
The Mountaineers were propelled to a 10-point lead after connecting on all five three-point tries in the game’s first five min-utes. After a half of play, though, the game was tied up and that third-consec-utive conference victory looked very uncertain.
After six lead changes in the second half, the Mountaineers finally broke through, using an 8-0 run to distance themselves from the Horned Frogs and get into solid position to win the contest. The game-changing 8-0 run wasn’t sparked by junior guards Christal Caldwell or Taylor Palmer – or any other starter for that mat-ter. Instead, it was a role player who has earned a reputation for being tough and providing a spark when West Virginia needs it most.
With eight minutes re-
maining in the game, soph-omore guard Akilah Bethel came off the bench and ig-nited the 8-0 run with a layup. Bethel, along with freshman guards Bria Holmes and Darius Faulk and sophomore forward Crystal Leary, garnered praise from head coach Mike Carey as the group that turned the tide in fa-vor of the Mountaineers.
“We turned the ball over too much. I give a lot of credit to Akilah Bethel, Darius Faulk, Bria Holmes and Crystal Leary,” Carey said. “They came in with energy and got us going and got us moving. I am very proud of that. I told them after the game that is why you always have to be ready. They did an excel-lent job of coming in and giving us energy and get-ting us moving again.”
Bethel, who finished the game with a well-rounded five points, two assists, two blocks and four rebounds in just 12 minutes of play, said she sees her role this season as multi-faceted and one that changes with each passing game.
“I would define my role as just kind of being the spark (and doing) a lit-tle bit of everything – not necessarily score, but re-bound, steal and make
plays when I can,” she said.Redshirt senior center
Ayana Dunning said Bethel has earned the reputation of being a tough player due to her ability to play all ar-eas of the game without getting uncomfortable or overwhelmed.
“Toughness – I think that would be the best word to describe (Bethel),” she said. “We switch (posi-tions) one through four (on defense), and she’s some-body that when she gets switched onto a (power forward), we don’t even worry about it because
she’s just so tough.“She’s going to go in
there and battle with the post, and when she’s on the perimeter, she’s going to get up in the lane, get steals, make some good plays on defense and be aggressive attacking the basket.”
Bethel said her partic-ipation in last night’s win was prompted by notic-ing the lack of a spark on the floor and realizing she could be the one to pro-vide it.
“We needed energy, and we needed people to pick
us up, and you know the starting five usually always carries us so it was some-body else’s turn, so I just tried to go in and help us out a bit,” she said.
Bethel echoed the sen-timent of her teammates in expressing her excite-ment with the Mountain-eers’ upcoming encounter with No. 1 Baylor Saturday. Carey has criticized the Mountaineers for playing to the level of their com-petition, but this is some-thing Bethel said will work in their favor for this game.
“I’m excited. We play up
and down (to our competi-tion), and this is high-level competition, so I definitely think we’ll play to our po-tential,” she said. “In pre-vious years, we’ve always played up to the No. 1’s and the No. 2’s in the country, so I definitely think we’ll be ready.”
Though Bethel won’t know what role the team will need her to play Sat-urday night, one thing is for sure: if the situation calls for it, she’ll be ready to bring a spark off the bench.

After being away from Morgantown since 2008, Tony Gibson will be making his return to the sidelines for the West Virginia foot-ball team in 2013.
Head coach Dana Hol-gorsen officially announced Gibson will join the Moun-taineer coaching staff as the team’s safeties coach.
“Being a West Virginia na-
tive, I am happy to be back in my home state,” Gibson said in a statement released Wednesday. “West Virginia football means a lot to me and my family.”
Gibson coached defensive backs at West Virginia from 2001 until he left with Rich Rodriguez for Michigan at the end of the 2007 season. He was with the Wolverines from 2008-10 and joined the Pitt coaching staff where he coached alongside of current
WVU defensive coordinator Keith Patterson in 2011 be-fore joining Rodriguez once again at Arizona last season.
“I am looking forward to working with Coach Hol-gorsen and being reunited on the defensive side of the ball with Coach Patterson,” Gibson said. “I also look for-ward to being a part of the fu-ture of this program and ad-vancing what I helped start years ago.”
During his career as an
assistant coach, Gibson has been known as a strong re-cruiter and was responsible for recruiting a large portion of each class since he started at WVU in 2001.
“Tony certainly has built a reputation as an outstanding recruiter and is nationally known for his ability,” Hol-gorsen said. “Being a native West Virginian and having already coached here at the University and successfully recruited western Pennsyl-
vania for many years, he brings a familiarity that will be an asset to our program.
“He worked with Keith (Patterson) at Pitt two years ago, so he already is well-versed with his defensive philosophy so that should help make for a smooth transition.”
Gibson began his career at Glenville State under Rodri-guez in 1996, coaching the Pioneers’ defensive backs and the kickoff teams. The
next two seasons he coached at Cumberland (Tenn.) Uni-versity as the special teams and recruiting coordinator.
He also served as West Virginia Tech’s defensive co-ordinator from 1999-2000 before heading to WVU.
Gibson was part of two WVIAC championship teams when he played there from 1991-94 and is a Van, W.Va., native.
