West Virginia University will hold their annual off-campus housing fair in the Mountainlair Ballrooms today from 10 a.m-3 p.m.

Every year, landlords in Morgantown participate in the fair to showcase the variety of different living facilities and amenities and to address any ques-tions students may have.

“This year, we have about 50 landlords and other organizations par-ticipating in the annual Off-Campus Housing Fair,” said Brian Walker, off-campus housing office director with the Office of Student Life. “The biggest advantage for students at-tending the event is see-ing the wide scope of off-campus housing options available.”

Students meet with landlords ranging from large, corporate-owned complexes like The Lofts, The District and The Do-main at Town Centre to smaller, locally-owned entities like WinCor Prop-erties, Scott Properties, Friend Suites and Rich-wood Properties.

“First and foremost, students must establish a budget for housing,” Walker said. He said he believes students should focus on finding a location that is secure and safe.

Moving off campus can be a challenge when one starts weighing the op-tions. Deciding whether to live downtown, on Evans-dale or in one of myriad other neighborhoods sur-rounding campus is going to come down to different personal factors.

“All my classes are downtown, and I don’t re-ally need to take the PRT. So living downtown was the best option for me,

and it makes going out a lot easier,” said Ally Do-brzykowski, a freshman pre-psychology student.

Living off campus also provides students oppor-tunities to choose the liv-ing arrangement that is most compatible for them.

“It is nice to have a one-bedroom apartment be-cause everything is mine, and I don’t have to worry about other people inter-fering with my studies,” said Madison Hummel, a sophomore business student.

The housing fair can help students decide whether to rent a house, apartment or townhouse and which amenities they desire from their poten-tial off-campus housing experience.

“A big decision in choosing my apartment was the gym. I wanted an apartment complex that had a place to work out,” said Thomas Conklin, a senior multidisciplinary studies student.

There is an off-campus housing option for every-one. The problem lies in accommodating both per-sonal and practical wants while finding a place that fits into a student’s budget.

“For many students, this is the first legal con-tract they have ever en-tered into, and they often don’t understand the ram-ifications,” Walker said.

Students moving off campus may not know what to expect with sign-ing a lease – however, at-tending the fair and ask-ing questions can help students prepare them-selves for relocating off of campus.

“Landlords are not per-mitted to sign leases at the fair, giving students

On Dec. 18, Morgantown Mayor Jim Manilla declared 2013 the “Year of the Tree.”

“As trees may live hun-dreds – up to several thou-sand – years longer than hu-mans, they peacefully stand as witnesses to our history, symbolizing longevity, per-sistence and strength,” Ma-nilla said.

Along with other tree-lov-ing advocates, Morgantown resident Ann Payne con-tacted city council to pro-pose this declaration.

“It is a great time to give trees some attention, be-cause West Virginia has

been targeted as an ideal buffer for ecology as climate change approaches,” Payne said.

Aside from being the main source of timber and paper, Payne said trees also provide other important necessities such as food, shade, shelter, storm water run-off protec-tion, air pollution cleansing, erosion control, wind breaks and of course, beauty.

Payne said she believes the Year of the Tree will provide a great advantage to Morgantown, because trees add beauty and life to an otherwise busy urban environment.

“Us humans are always shuffling, living alone in our

heads (and) looking down, and we forget about the amazing world around us,” she said.

The Mon Chapter of the Sierra Club sponsored a walk through West Virginia University’s Core Arbore-tum. Approximately 40 peo-ple enjoyed a three-hour walk where they were edu-cated on various state trees including West Virginia’s Sugar Maple Tree and Ohio’s Buckeye Tree. Those who participated were also given the unique opportunity to visit the site of where the oldest tree in Morgantown used to reside, a Chinqua-pin Oak that is said to have lived when Christopher Co-

lumbus arrived to the New World.

On Jan. 25 from 7:30-9 p.m., the Tree of Life syna-gogue located on High Street will also be celebrating Tu Bishvat, otherwise known as the “New Year of Trees.” All are welcome to engage in spiritual discussion while enjoying various fruits, nuts and locally made wine.

The community is also welcome to participate in the “Biggest, Baddest Tree Challenge,” where individ-uals can nominate a tree they feel deserves recog-nition. Nominations will appear on an online map.

Ramy Albany spends most of his time fearing for the safety of his loved ones living overseas amid an ongoing Syrian conflict.

Albany, a West Virginia University freshman from Damascus, Syria, said each time new trage-dies occur in Syria, he feels a loss.

“It’s a bad situation over there – it’s horrible. I cannot even describe it in words how bad it is,” he said. “Every day is a struggle there; I’ve been hear-ing horrible things. My parents are still there, and I’m always worrying that something’s going to hap-pen. People die (in Syria) every day.”

As a student living abroad, Albany said the hor-rors occurring in his home country are nearly im-possible to fathom.

“A lot of people here – nobody knows how their living in (safety) and peace. Nobody can appreci-ate that,” he said. “Nobody there can protect you. It’s the government who’s killing their people. It’s crazy...the amount of people that die there for no reason – they just go around and shoot people.”

The Academic Resource Center hosted its grand re-opening at the Downtown Library and Brooke Tower yesterday.

This year, the ARC will be more focused and have an increased number of tu-tors than it has in the past. It is ready to help students begin their semester on the right foot.

“This job was perfect for

me, because I really do en-joy teaching people,” said Jordan Drew, a sophomore biometric systems student and math tutor. “I espe-cially love math. I always help my friends with math homework, and I’ve been doing that since elemen-tary school.”

Most tutors specialize in math and science, and most have prerequisite classes finished and are able to tu-tor in a variety of subjects.

Each tutor is required

maintain at least a 3.0 grade point average. If they spe-cialize in more than one subject, they must have above a 3.0 GPA.

“When I’m tutoring, I make a conscious effort to not just give students an-swers and do their home-work for them,” Drew said. “I try to make sure that they understand what I’m doing.”

Drew said he has noticed more students attending tutoring sessions at Brooke

Tower than on the Down-town Campus.

“I just think there are more freshmen over there,” he said. “I feel like the up-perclassmen just like to work in their own groups, but freshmen just don’t have those groups made yet.”

On average, six or seven tutors are made available at the ARC, and they can pro-vide students the one-on-

one attention they need. Students also have the

opportunity to schedule appointments with tutors if they need additional help.

The ARC has initiated a new program that will allow students to work in a group tutoring session.

“We have a lot of stu-dents coming in for help in Chem 110 and Math 126,” said Courtney Teets, coor-dinator of Campus Learn-ing Centers at WVU.

“These students often have similar questions and need help with the same material, so here, all their questions can be answered at once.”

The ARC has grown 38 percent since last fall and plans to continue this growth in 2013.

Teets said she has spo-

ken to many students who did not know the University offered free tutoring.

“We’ve just been trying to get the word out to stu-dents,” she said. “Our tu-tors are great, and students need to use this resource.”

The ARC is open Sunday-Thursday 6-10 p.m.

exit polls: netanyahu narrowly wins Israel vote

apSupporters of Naftali Bennett, head of Israel’s Jewish Home party celebrate after the exit polls were announced at the party’s headquarters in the city of Ramat Gan, Tuesday.

JeRUsaLeM (aP) — In a stunning setback, Prime Minister Benjamin Netan-yahu’s hard-line bloc fared worse than expected in a parliamentary election Tuesday, exit polls showed, possibly forcing the incum-bent Israeli leader to invite surprisingly strong moder-ate rivals into his govern-ment and soften his line to-ward the Palestinians.

TV exit polls showed the hard-liners with about 61 seats in the 120-seat parlia-ment, a bare majority, and the counts could change as actual votes are tallied.

The unofficial TV results had Netanyahu winning only 31 seats, though he combined his Likud Party with the far-right Yisrael Be-itenu for the voting. Running separately four years ago, the two won 42 seats.

If they hold up through the actual vote counting, the unexpected results could be seen a setback for Netan-yahu’s tough policies. The coalition-building process

could force him to promise concessions to restart long-stalled peace talks with the Palestinians.

Netanyahu made a quick phone call to a newcomer on Israel’s political stage, Yair Lapid, whose centrist party debuted with a strong show-ing of 19 seats, making it the second-largest party after Netanyahu’s.

In a statement posted on his Facebook page, Netan-yahu said he would reach across the aisle to invite an array of parties to join a broad-based coalition.

“According to the exit polls, it is clear that Israel cit-izens decided that they want me to continue to serve as prime minister of Israel, and that I form the widest possi-ble majority (coalition),” he said. “As early as this eve-ning I will begin working to form the widest possible government.”

Nearly 67 percent of Isra-el’s 5.5 million eligible voters took part, more than in pre-vious elections – apparently

giving boosts to the centrists, especially Lapid’s new “Yesh Atid” or “There is a future” party.

Lapid’s surprise show-ing could make him a key Cabinet minister should he decide to join Netanyahu’s government.

A Likud official said Ne-tanyahu phoned Lapid after the results and told him, “We have the opportunity to do great things together.”

Lapid and other centrist parties have said they would not join Netanyahu’s team unless the prime minister promises to make a serious push for peace with the Pal-estinians. The moderates also want an end to the gen-erous subsidies and mili-tary draft exemptions given to ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities.

“We have red lines. We won’t cross those red lines, even if it will force us to sit in the opposition,” said Yaakov Peri, a former security chief and one of Yesh Atid’s lead-ers, told Channel 2 TV.

The conflicting positions of the various parties point up the difficulties facing anyone who tries to set up a coalition government in Is-rael. If Netanyahu relies only on the religious and hard-line parties, it means con-stant fights with the oppo-sition over social programs. If he tries to team up with the centrists, it means bat-tles with the ultra-Orthodox over subsidies, as well as in-ternal sniping over conces-sions to the Palestinians.

Some predicted Netan-yahu might even fail to form a government.

“Netanyahu’s victory is a pyrrhic victory, and it is not clear he will be the next prime minister,” said Israeli political analyst Yaron Ez-rahi. “Netanyahu will face difficulty in constructing a viable coalition,” Ezrahi said, estimating the life span of the next Israeli government at no more than 18 months.

Netanyahu has won praise at home for draw-ing the world’s attention to

Iran’s suspect nuclear pro-gram and for keeping the economy on solid ground at a time of global turmoil.

But internationally, he has repeatedly clashed with al-lies over his handling of the peace process. Peace talks with the Palestinians have remained stalled through-out his term, in large part because of his continued construction of Jewish set-tlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.

Netanyahu himself has only grudgingly voiced con-ditional support for a Pal-estinian state, and his own party is now dominated by hard-liners who oppose even this. A likely coalition partner, Naftali Bennett of the Jewish Home Party, which won 12 seats, has called for annexing large parts of the West Bank, the core of any future Palestin-ian state.

Palestinians viewed the election results grimly, see-ing it as entrenching a pro-settlement government.

“Even if Netanyahu brings some center-left parties to his coalition, he will con-tinue building in the settle-ments, he said that clearly and that is what we expect him to do,” said Mohammed Shtayeh, an aide to the West-ern-backed Palestinian Pres-ident Mahmoud Abbas.

In all, 32 parties ran in the election, and 11 won enough votes to enter parliament, according to the exit polls. Israelis vote by putting a slip with a party’s initials into an envelope and dropping the envelope into a ballot box, so the process of counting all the votes by hand takes many hours.

Two hours after the poll-ing stations closed, the of-ficial Election Commission had published results of only 60,000 votes out of about 3.5 million cast.

In a sign of the times, many Israelis advertised their voting choice by pho-tographing their ballot slips and uploading them to Facebook.

The local library is also, ac-cepting donations of tree re-lated books that can be do-nated through Amazon.com.

the Mountainlair Tuesday for a candlelight vigil to honor the lives of the vic-tims of the nation’s most recent tragedy.

As university students in Syria’s largest city, Aleppo, were preparing to take fi-nal exams last week, twin blasts devastated the cam-pus and killed more than 80 individuals.

During the vigil, WVU students held candles and signs speaking out against violence in Syria.

Sophomore student Mo u ha m m e d Sa k k a l helped organize the vigil, and he said he thought it would be the perfect opportunity to express

support and condolences for the victims of the attack.

“The vigil is kind of in honor of the martyrs,” he said. “I thought it would be a good way for our Uni-versity to show respect for their university.”

Sakkal said while the conflict may be occurring overseas, he believes it’s become a civic duty for all to support those facing vi-olence in Syria.

“A lot of people are going to say it’s a Syrian cause, or an Arab cause or maybe a Muslim cause. It’s come to a point that people are peacefully protesting and getting shot down, and it’s become a humanitarian cause,” Sakkal said. “They really come together over there. All backgrounds come together – all for one

cause.” In collaboration with

Morgantown’s mosque, Sakkal said students have been collecting clothing to be sent to those injured and left to survive follow-ing the attacks.

Students are also sell-ing “Free Syria” T-shirts. Sakkal said proceeds from T-shirt sales will directly benefit relief efforts follow-ing the attack.

“We’ve collected, I’d say, over 100 big, black trash bags filled with clothes. I brought back from Charles-ton a whole U-Haul truck filled with clothes from the community there,” he said.

“ T h e c o m m u n i t y really came together on that.”

dent concerns.“Students at WVU have

too many options available to them. The fair is a good opportunity to explore those options and get a feel for the different properties available to them within their budget,” Walker said.

Snowshoe mountain provides perfect vacation destination

condosnowshoe.comSnowshoe Mountain Ski Resort provides many of options for visitors.

BY laceY palmerassociate a&e editor

Nestled in the moun-tains of Pocahontas County, W.Va, Snowshoe Mountain is a snow lover’s paradise.

With 42 trails and new snow made frequently, Snowshoe maintains the perfect skiing or snow-boarding conditions, but is it a worthwhile trip if skiing and snowboarding aren’t for you?

The answer is yes.As I just learned to ski last

year, my skiing abilities are sub-par, but a weekend at Snowshoe still ranks among my top-five favorite things to do.

Whether you prefer a re-laxing vacation or one filled with entertainment and nightlife activities, Snow-shoe has you covered.

If you’re looking for a qui-eter trip to Snowshoe, swing by Cheat Mountain Pizza in The Village and try one of the best pizzas in the area. Then head back to your ho-tel or cabin and hop in the

hot tub to relax with friends and family.

Be sure to grab a hot drink at Starbucks and watch the sunset in the large parking lot overlooking the moun-tains – it is undoubtedly one of the prettiest sights you will ever see.

C o nv e n i e nt l y , t h e amount of lodging available at Snowshoe is astounding.

From Rimfire to Seneca to Allegheny Springs and the many cabins and houses available, you are sure to enjoy the overall coziness of the lodging available.

For those on a budget, Snowshoe Inn, at the bot-tom of the mountain, is always a less-expensive option.

For after-hours enter-tainment, the nightlife at Snowshoe is sure to please. Visit Snowshoe’s nightclub, The Connection, or swing by the Comedy Cellar for an evening of laughs – both longtime favorites in the area.

The Junction, Misty’s Sports Bar, Old Spruce Tav-

ern, Hoot’s Bar and Grill, Sunset Cantina and Foxfire Grille also offer great bar specials and tasty food for visitors.

West Virginia University student Codie Sayger re-cently made her first trip to Snowshoe and said she plans to make many more.

“I really enjoyed skiing for the first time, but I was surprised by the amount of other things to do at Snowshoe,” Sayger said. “The Old Spruce Tavern is a really cool little bar that was packed when we were there.”

Additionally, the peo-ple who work and stay on the mountain are always friendly and welcoming.

Josh Dean, who attended WVU last semester, has taken his spring semester off for the third time to live at Snowshoe while condi-tions are at their peak for the mountain’s activities.

“My favorite part, aside from the boarding, is the people you get to meet and their lifestyle,” Dean said.

“It’s a super carefree way of living.”

Wesley Felton, resident of Marlinton, W.Va., also gets as much time on the moun-tain as much as possible.

“Being able to snow-board whenever I want at one of the highest-rated ski resorts on the East Coast is something I really appreci-ate,” Felton said. “But Snow-shoe is the perfect place for anyone; it’s small but still pretty big and quiet, but busy in places and sort of just makes you feel at home. Whether you’re here for the snow, the food or even just the stay, there’s no way you’ll be disappointed.”

Snowshoe Mountain Re-sort isn’t just for those who love winter, either.

During the summer sea-son, Snowshoe enthusi-asts can enjoy many biking trails, as well as beauti-ful scenery and numerous shops in the village.

One of Snowshoe’s best-kept secrets, though, may be the local talent that comes from the area – most

recently, country music art-ist Wyatt Turner, who said he performs at Snowshoe whenever he gets a chance.

“Growing up in the mountains of West Virginia doesn’t give you much op-portunity in the area of mu-sical entertainment,” Turner said. “It’s where I got my start, but it was only a con-fidence builder, as I was al-ways playing in front of very small crowds to get a feel for what an audience likes and wants.”

When he felt it was time to take things further in his musical career, Turner moved to Nashville, Tenn.

“It was a bit of a culture shock for me in the tran-sition from such a small town to a metropolis, be-cause I now play for much larger crowds, but as I visit home, I still enjoy playing all the small venues where I started my career,” Turner said.

“Snowshoe Mountain Resort likes to hire me as often as possible, which is wonderful, because I help

to pull in locals to the re-sort, and I also receive rec-ognition from people coun-trywide. I really enjoy being able to come back and play for the people who be-lieved in my dream before it seemed attainable.”

Although for Turner, who made an appearance on NBC’s “The Voice” this sea-son, “as often as possible” is rarer than he would like, the live music at the resort is al-ways superb.

West Virginia Free Ski Day is coming up at Snow-shoe Sunday, March 3 and will allow West Virginia res-idents to show their state ID for a free lift ticket 9 a.m.-9 p.m.

Many people miss out on this opportunity each year.

Don’t let that be you.Whenever the opportu-

nity to travel to Snowshoe presents itself, take it. No matter what kind of vaca-tion you prefer, Snowshoe Mountain Resort is sure to be a vacation to remember.

Sundance documentary adds new take on hunt for Osama bin Laden PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — The

filmmaker behind an Osama bin Laden documentary at the Sundance Film Festival says the debate over the ac-curacy of Hollywood’s take on the story detracts from the deeper moral questions involved.

Greg Barker, director of “Manhunt: The Search for Bin Laden,” said criticism over Kathryn Bigelow’s Acad-emy Award-nominated “Zero Dark Thirty” is a political is-sue that’s over-simplifying the matter.

“Zero Dark Thirty” has drawn fire from Washington lawmakers who say the film inaccurately depicts torture as integral in producing leads that led to bin Laden’s death in a Navy SEALs raid in Paki-stan in 2011.

“The fact is, what our spe-cial operations do is conduct kill-capture operations all the time, and many people die in those,” Barker said. “Maybe that’s what we want as a coun-try, but we have to actually address it and understand it to really know what’s going on. And so I just think that trying to say, well, was it co-ercive interrogation? I mean, maybe, probably, is my per-sonal opinion, there was an element of that. Was that all of it? Certainly not. Is that what we should focus on? I don’t think so.”

“Manhunt,” debuting on HBO in May, uses extensive interviews with CIA officers, military operatives and oth-ers involved in tracking bin Laden as he rose to power calling for jihad against the United States in the 1990s and in the war on terror after the

Sept. 11 attacks in 2001.Much of the story parallels

events dramatized in “Zero Dark Thirty,” starring Jessica Chastain as a CIA analyst named Maya who obsessively pursues bin Laden for years.

Barker and ex-CIA agents interviewed for “Manhunt” said “Zero Dark Thirty” cor-rectly depicts that women in the CIA were at the heart of the bin Laden chase. But it still is a Hollywood distilla-tion made to entertain wide audiences, they said.

“It is entertaining, espe-cially the part about the SEAL raid,” said Nada Bakos, who worked as a CIA analyst and later a targeting officer focus-ing on Iraq. “I understand they have to condense things down to different characters, but Maya’s definitely a com-pilation of a lot of different people who worked at the agency and worked on this over the years.”

Marty Martin, a CIA case officer who led the hunt for bin Laden after the Sept. 11 attacks, said interrogations did not occur the way they are shown in “Zero Dark Thirty.” Asked if torture produced tips that helped find bin Laden, Martin would only say that he believes “enhanced inter-rogation techniques” were useful.

Martin said he believes such methods have saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

“This is America. We need to have this debate,” Martin said. “If you want to make a decision that 5,000 people can die because you don’t want to make a bad guy feel uncomfortable, that’s a deci-

sion we have. But then, you bear that responsibility, and you’ll look in those victims’ relatives’ eyes after the fact. But the fact is, that debate and that discussion needs to occur, and we live in a free society where that needs to happen.”

Ex-CIA analyst Cindy Storer said that right after Sept. 11, she decided she did not want to be involved in co-ercive methods, yet she con-cedes that valuable informa-tion resulted.

“It doesn’t mean I didn’t use the information that came from it. It doesn’t mean I don’t respect the people who made the decision to do that,” Storer said. “I know that’s useful. So this black-and-white discus-sion of, it’s not useful at all, it’s totally useful, it’s ridiculous. It

is in the gray.”Filmmaker Barker said the

debate needs to cut deeper than simple for-or-against opinions about torture.

Whether from al-Qaeda or some other source, “we’re go-ing to be back in this situation again,” Barker said.

“And there will be people in the shadows making de-cisions on our behalf, and what I’m hoping to do is kind of shed some light by telling a great story, but also shed some light on what those de-cisions, how those decisions are reached, and the human dimension of that,” Barker said. “It’s a complex issue, and we’re best looking at it dispassionately, and all of us have a discussion about what this last decade was all about to us.”

President Barack Obama was inaugurated as presi-dent of the United States for a second term Monday. Al-though this inauguration was not surrounded by the same pomp and hype as his historic first inauguration, it was still an important mo-ment for all Americans.

With four years of expe-rience under his belt, Pres-ident Obama kicked off his second term with an articu-late description of his vision for the United States.

This speech has been

hailed as one of Obama’s best, as well as one of his most assertive. In it, the president committed him-self to finally confronting the monumental issue of climate change, standing up for the rights of women and gays, and ensuring that the most needy among us will not be left to helplessly fend for themselves.

President Obama also suggested his second term would mark the end of more than a decade of war for the United States and signaled

this would lead to an em-phasis on investing in do-mestic programs and re-building the country’s crumbling infrastructure.

Of course, all of this rhet-oric will mean nothing with-out a cooperative Congress. This is a lesson America has learned all too well after wit-nessing the historically in-effectual 112th Congress, which now bears the dis-tinction of being the least productive Congress since the Great Depression. This ineptitude is unacceptable

for the highest legislative body in the country that supposedly serves as a role model for the free world. It’s no wonder Congress’s dis-approval rating recently hit 82 percent.

Considering the magni-tude of the challenges this country faces in the com-ing four years – from global climate change to dealing with the ongoing economic slump Congress must rise to the occasion and work with the president to get things done. For the past four

years, congressional Repub-licans have worked relent-lessly to obstruct the pres-ident’s agenda, even when it came to issues on which there was bipartisan agree-ment. Their efforts did not pay off, as President Obama was easily re-elected.

We simply cannot afford another four years of a Con-gress hell-bent on playing politics while there are ur-gent matters that need to be addressed.

Our world loves skinniness.

From “America’s Next Top Model” to an advertisement for a new bar in town, it’s obvious that a certain body type is preferable. We’ve all seen the emaciated bodies wobbling down high-fash-ion runways. The pressure to be thin is a well-known and oft-discussed topic, es-pecially in America.

But recently, campaigns have started highlighting “real” women – that is to say, women with natural curves and bodies that have a body mass index higher than a teen value.

While these operations to promote body acceptance and celebration are doing a wonderful service to ev-eryday women in Amer-ica, often, these messages are misconstrued to be at a disadvantage to other body types.

Take, for example, the Facebook group I stumbled upon the other day pro-claiming that “real women have curves,” and “men don’t like sticks.”

Or perhaps you’ve heard the phrase “skinny bitch,” a common nickname that places a certain body type into one convenient and negative category.

Before I get myself in trouble, let me first say that I respect anyone, man or woman, who owns up to who they are – what they stand for, what they do, and yes, even what they look like. Accepting the good and bad facets of ourselves is an inte-gral part to growing up and generating self-confidence.

So when any derivative of such a positive campaign is misrepresented to hurt an-other group of people, re-

gardless of my own personal body type, I am offended.

Yes, the pressure to be thin is immense, and the fact that most people cannot fit into the smallest clothing size only makes this pres-sure more extreme. But ap-parently, even organizations promoting a “normal” size are used as weapons against those who happen to fall into the “skinny” category. We are waging a war against each other – this time, not over politics or religion, but

the size of our jeans. News flash: neither side

of this debate is correct. In fact, there is no “right” an-swer to what size a person should be. Sure, we have doctors who can tell us what our ideal, healthy weight should be, but this is not for vanity – it’s for our own well-being.

And while we’re on the topic of vanity, there is no specific size that men or women have that is com-pletely irresistible to the

opposite sex. As Dita Von Teese said, “You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there’s still going to be somebody who hates peaches.”

So why are we still pit-ting ourselves against each other?

For the longest time, the media was to blame. It was the media’s fault for idoliz-ing this irrational image on the billboards, in the mov-ies and in the commercials on television. It was the me-

dia that caused that girl we all know to start throwing up after meals, and it was the media that cast down everyone else who couldn’t achieve the “ideal” body.

But now it’s on us. It’s the everyday person who looks down on anyone else for their body size who is to blame now. It’s the larger women calling skinny women “twigs,” proclaim-ing curvy women are more desirable because of their larger figures. It’s the skinny

people who call larger peo-ple “fat” – a term so infa-mous these days it should be considered the new f-word.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what side of the battle you’re on. You can be fat or skinny or any multitude of adjectives in between. So be that juicy peach, or apple, or pear, or orange – hell, be a carrot. All that’s important is accepting and loving who you are; oth-ers will soon follow.

FEATURE OF THE DAY

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

BORN TODAY This year you often might be inclined to risk. What you take chances on will define how you feel about success and failure. A new talent emerges that might be worthy of developing. The artist or business person within you emerges, which adds a great dimension to your life. If you are single, you could meet some-one through your day-to-day life. You do not have to go hunting. If you are attached, the two of you might de-cide to splurge on a long-desired trip. CANCER might come in a little too close for your personal comfort.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Use the daylight hours to the max. You can get a lot done, and a lot faster than you think. Make calls, but post-pone reaching out to someone im-portant until you are relaxed. Listen to your intuitive senses, as they do come through for you. Tonight: Hap-pily head home.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHH Deal with a money matter early on. That way, you won’t need to worry or even think about it the rest of the day. Your energy could cause some friction with those around you. Be aware that they are not seeing you as the laidback Bull. Tonight: Dinner at a favorite haunt.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Move quickly, and get as much done as possible. If you are considering go-ing on a trip, there is no time like the present to start deciding when or where. Get more opinions and feed-back regarding a problematic situa-tion; there is a solution to be found.

Tonight: Your treat.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Be honest with yourself – you can-not get past your curiosity involving a matter that is hush-hush. By late afternoon, you might not even care, as you toss yourself into a project or hobby. News from a distance puts a smile on your face. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Even if a partner is pushing you hard, you seem to be able to handle the pres-sure. In fact, you use it to energize. You might wonder when enough is enough. Postpone a discussion until later. A loved one might share an in-tuitive hunch. Tonight: Vanish while you can.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Ac-cepting responsibility is fine, but add-ing to a personal problem because you don’t want to say no is a separate issue. You have too much energy for your own good. Rather than snap at someone, move through your feel-ings and deal with your stress. To-night: Dance stress away.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Keep reaching out to someone at a distance. You’ll want to resolve a problem, which means finding the other person involved. A loved one could be unusually aggressive. Pull back, and let this person have some space. Tonight: Probably a very late night.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You can’t seem to help yourself when dealing with a partner. This person has been unusually lucky with funds lately. Later on, make calls to some-one at a distance whom you care

about. Follow your psychic inclina-tion. Tonight: Break past any self-im-posed barriers.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH Question your alternatives rather than rush into the first op-tion that heads your way. You will be much happier as a result. Your ability to act and understand will increase with more information. Listen to a family member’s suggestions. To-night: Head home early.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Attempt to get as much done as possible by putting off a meeting until later. This gathering easily could develop into a social happening. Why fight the inevita-ble? Plan ahead accordingly. Return calls as promptly as you can. Tonight: Let someone else make the choice.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH At times, you can be so re-bellious that you cause yourself a problem. Fortunately, this behavior most likely will happen at the be-ginning of the day. You’ll want to fix this issue, and you will have plenty of time to do just that. Tonight: Make it early, if possible.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Getting going right now could be a major issue. You know full well that this type of fatigue is there to tell you to slow down. News from a distance causes a last-minute snafu. Try to de-fine what is going on with this person before making adjustments. Tonight: Let the fun begin.

Bluegrass legend to visit Morgantown

ket.orgCelebrated country musician Ralph Stanley will perform at Morgantown’s Metropolitan Theatre Feb. 15.

by hunter homisteka&e editor

American bluegrass leg-end Ralph Stanley will per-form at Morgantown’s Met-ropolitan Theatre Feb. 15 at 7:30 p.m.

The artist, who is known to the world of bluegrass as “Dr. Ralph Stanley” after re-ceiving an honorary doctor-ate of music from Lincoln Memorial University, is re-nowned for his signature “Stanley Style” of banjo pick-ing he perfected throughout a 60-year career in the music

business.“Ralph Stanley has enter-

tained audiences for more than 60 years; he’s a true en-tertainer,” said David Ryan, West Virginia University Arts & Entertainment public rela-tions specialist. “His sound is authentic, and his legacy is littered throughout country and bluegrass today.”

Stanley began his profes-sional career alongside his brother, Carter Stanley, in the Clinch Mountain Boys 1946-66.

The group found suc-cess with its down-home

bluegrass sound and even-tually formed its signature sound under the direction of King Records, a record la-bel which at the time housed the likes of James Brown and Valerie Carr.

Carter, however, suc-cumbed to an ongoing bat-tle with cirrhosis in 1966, and Ralph was forced to continue his career as a solo artist.

Undeterred, Stanley found success time and time again in his career, most no-tably in 2002, when he won a Grammy Award for Best

Male Country Vocal Perfor-mance for his work on “O Death,” which was featured in the 2000 film “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”

In addition to this, Stan-ley was inducted into the In-ternational Bluegrass Music Hall of Honor in 1992, and he also became the first per-son inducted into the Grand Ole Opry at the turn of the 21st century.

For these distinctions, there is no doubt Stanley is a true legend of country mu-sic, and his performance at the Metropolitan Theatre af-

fords a rare opportunity for music lovers and casual fans alike.

“All good music is uni-versal, and Ralph Stanley has produced some of the best music in his genre,” Ryan said. “We’re glad we can bring in varied acts and performers that may open someone up to something that they may have other-wise not considered before.”

With a mantle of acco-lades that rivals almost any-one in the music business today and a signature blue-grass sound refined through

decades of hard work, Stanley’s performance is a can’t-miss event for those interested in a firsthand en-counter with a slice of mu-sic history.

Tickets to the event can be purchased at the Cre-ative Arts Center and Mountainlair box office locations or by phone at 304-293-SHOW.

Tickets are $29 for the general public and $19 for WVU students with a valid student ID.

Kevin Bacon made a return to television last night after spending most of his career in movies.

“When I was trying to find something to do on TV, I knew that I wanted to do the hero,” Bacon told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “Whatever kind of hero that was. You know, I wanted him to be complex, to be a complicated character.”

The 54-year-old actor defi-nitely got the hero role he was looking for in Fox’s new show, “The Following,” which pre-miered Monday night.

Ryan Hardy (Bacon) is a former FBI agent credited with putting serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) be-hind bars.

In the process of captur-ing Carroll, however, Hardy is stabbed, leaving him with a pacemaker and relieving him from his duty with the bureau.

After this accident, Hardy turns to alcohol, but he is soon called back into action when Carroll escapes from death row.

It’s a classic good versus evil scenario. The two forces – in this case, Hardy and Car-roll - are so evenly matched it’s always a race against both the clock and each other.

The serial killer taunts and tempts Hardy, who comes across as cold on the surface but flashes a soft, compas-sionate underbelly.

The inspiration for Carroll’s

murders comes from his ob-session with the concepts of Romantic-era literature, par-ticularly the work of Edgar Al-len Poe, and his victims are mostly students at the college where he teaches.

“The Following” is named for the cult-like group of fans that will do anything Car-

roll tells them, including self-sacrifice, kidnapping and murder.

In the show’s pilot epi-sode, there was no shortage of blood and gore.

Thankfully, Kevin Wil-liamson, creator and pro-ducer of “The Following,” is no stranger to violence, as

he produced “The Vampire Diaries” and the “Scream” movies.

A show about a serial killer, in light of the recent shoot-ings across the United States, has naturally piqued some controversy.

However, many point out that cynical crime dramas

have taken over television, and “The Following” is no different than the gruesome likes of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” or “Criminal Minds.”

Regardless of one’s stance on this particular issue, though, there is no denying this premiere episode had all

the elements of a successful show – suspense, developing characters, intriguing story-lines and, in this case, Kevin Bacon.

New episodes of “The Fol-lowing” air every Monday at 9 p.m. on FOX.

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAYWest Virginia falls 77-73 to Texas Tech

MEN’S bASkETbAll

WVU returns home to face TCUBy NiCk arThUr

associate sports editor

The Mountaineers are running out of time to right the ship and restore any hope of making the NCAA tournament for the sixth-straight season.

They have fallen be-low .500 and are currently seventh out of 10 teams in the Big 12 Conference standings.

But a four-day break be-fore a home game may be exactly what the doctor ordered.

West Virginia (8-9, 1-3) hopes to take full of advan-tage of that opportunity when TCU (9-9, 0-5) travels to the Coliseum Wednesday for a Big 12 matchup.

It will be the first-ever matchup between the two schools.

The Horned Frogs have yet to win their first Big 12 Conference game in their in-augural season, but they’re still completely capable of knocking off a struggling West Virginia team.

“They’re good enough. We’re going to have to play well,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “I’m sure they’ll do like ev-erything else – try to make us shoot it on the perimeter.”

Making the Mountain-eers shoot from anywhere on the floor may be an ef-fective strategy at this point, as Huggins’ team ranks 321st nationally in shooting percentage.

The Horned Frogs are scoring about 13 points per game less than the offen-sively challenged Mountain-eers, but this is due to the style of offense TCU runs.

It’s a slow-paced ap-proach, but the Horned Frogs will still take shots early in a possession if the opportunity presents itself.

“They run good sets. They look at the options when they come through. They’ve got good continuity to them,” Huggins said. “They just try to make you guard for the full shot clock. It’s not like if they have something before that they’re not go-ing to take it.”

The Mountaineers have lost four of their last four

games and have matchups looming with No. 2 Kansas and a road matchup with a very talented Oklahoma State game, making this game with the Horned Frogs extremely important.

At this point in the season, all of them are important.

“All I can tell you is I thought we had yester-day (Monday) one of the best practices we’ve had in a while, for whatever that’s worth,” Huggins said.

Despite his team’s strug-

gles, Huggins points out that the Mountaineers are a few sequences away from a few more victories.

Two of West Virginia’s three conference losses have come by a combined three points.

“We’re a shot or a call or a bounce away from win-ning another three of four,” Huggins said. “I think the problem is we don’t make that happen. We just kind of hope it happens.”

“Take the Gonzaga and

the Purdue game away and we’ve certainly had our chances.”

Huggins has experi-mented with multiple line-ups in the last few outings, going with a relatively small starting five in hopes of ac-commodating the style of play presented in the Big 12.

It will be interesting to see what lineup Huggins di-als up tonight when the two teams tipoff at 7:30.

Can WVU women get a date

to the dance?

I’m going to fill you in on a little secret.

It’s probably something you already know, but in case you haven’t thought about it in a while, I’ll re-mind you of this fact – an unwavering truth you won’t learn in any class on campus.

Everyone wants a date.Really, it’s true. Men,

women, animals, basket-ball teams – all of us – have a common, biological need to be wanted and picked. Unfortunately, though, we aren’t all always picked all of the time.

You know, survival of the fittest and all that jazz.

Fortunately, for one bas-ketball team on campus, it looks as if they are fit enough to catch the eye of that oh-

so-special someone (the se-lection committee) and get a date to the big dance.

And by big dance, I’m, of course, talking about the NCAA tournament.

In fact, under the suc-cessful watch of West Vir-ginia women’s basketball head coach Mike Carey, the Mountaineers have been scoring tournament berths at an unprecedented rate.

West Virginia has got-ten a date to the big dance in five of the past six sea-sons – three consecutively, which is the longest streak in school history.

Last night’s 77-73 loss against Texas Tech pushed West Virginia’s record to 11-7 overall, and more im-portantly, 3-4 in Big 12 Con-ference play.

A win against the Red Raiders would have been huge, and after blowing a double-digit lead, the

By amiT BaTrasports writer

The West Virginia wom-en’s basketball team re-turned home to face Texas Tech Tuesday night in what turned out to be one of the more disappointing losses of the season, falling 77-73 to the Red Raiders.

“It’s a shame we gave that one away,” said head coach Mike Carey. “We didn’t de-fend, didn’t rebound and (we) had opportunities in regulation to win it, and we just didn’t do it.”

The first half proved to be a strong one for sopho-more forward Averee Fields, as she led the Mountain-eers to a 38-29 halftime ad-vantage. Her 13 points and four rebounds sparked West Virginia to a 9-point lead at the half. WVU also out-re-bounded Texas Tech 24-13, including eight from Crys-tal Leary.

The Mountaineers’ of-fensive rebounding and ag-gressive play helped West Virginia get a little breathing room on the Lady Raiders. WVU shot 45.5 percent from the field in the first half on 15-of-33 shooting.

The uncertainty from Sat-urday’s loss against Baylor was erased in the first half when the Mountaineers shot 85.7 percent from the line.

The emergence of fresh-man Bria Holmes came about in the second half as she surpassed her career-best performance offen-sively against the Lady Raid-ers. Her performance of 17 points, alongside some big shots from junior guard Christal Caldwell, made it appear WVU would hold on for a win in the late stages of

regulation.The Lady Raiders had

other plans, however. Shortly after sophomore guard Linda Stepney hit a shot in the corner to make the lead 69-67 with 22.2 seconds to play, Texas Tech answered with a layup to tie the game and send it into overtime.

The Lady Raiders made enough plays and hit the free throws they needed in overtime to hold on and pull out the victory 77-73. On the night, TTU shot 42.4 percent from the floor and 41.7 per-cent from beyond the arc (5-of-12).

Texas Tech out-re-bounded West Virginia 39-38 after a struggle to get sec-ond-chance points in the first half.

Guard Christine Hyde led the Lady Raiders with 19 points and seven boards. Guards Monique Smalls and Chynna Brown added 17 and 16 points, respectively. Brown also contributed nine rebounds.

“We felt coming in that we were very similar and (had) very similar styles,” said Texas Tech head coach Kristy Curry on the matchup with West Virginia. “You look at Chynna Brown and Casey Morris and you look at (Christal) Caldwell and (Tay-lor) Palmer, and they’re just so similar.

“We were just fortunate to make a few more plays down the stretch. They’re (West Virginia) a great bas-ketball team.”

Hyde said each Big 12 game is a fight, and these types of games are never blowouts. She hit 9-of-10 free throws for her squad, and the Lady Raiders made 75 percent of their free throws in overtime.

“It’s the Big 12; it’s a fight every session,” she said. “We were kind of tired last year of losing games and going back to the stat sheet and see if we could have made our free throws, we could have won. An emphasis this year was to make our free throws because it is a difference in the game.”

WVU had plenty of chances at the end of reg-ulation and in overtime to pull out the victory. Caldwell had a shot to tie the game at 74-74 in overtime, but it fell short and hurt the Moun-taineers’ chances of over-coming the deficit.

“The game should have never gone to overtime,” Caldwell said. “Coach Carey looked at us and said ‘let’s get a stop’ when we were up by two with 22 seconds left. We didn’t do what we were supposed to do.

“I thought I made it (the shot in overtime), but it hit the front of the rim and I kind of got down on myself. I felt like I should have hit that shot for the team.”

One positive result from the game was Holmes’ level of play after some inconsis-tent games following some brilliant basketball to start the season. The return in confidence was a factor of her 17-point night (5-of-10 shooting).

“I just tried to help my team get the W tonight,” she said. “Tonight I felt like I needed to step my game up and that’s what I tried to do.”

The Mountaineers fall to 11-7 overall and 3-4 in Big 12 play this season. They re-turn to action Saturday night to take on Iowa State at the Coliseum.

No. 22 Mountaineers finish third in front of 14,917 at Utah

BY MeghaN CarrSPortS CorreSPondent

For its second road meet of the season the No. 22 West Virginia gymnastics team finished third in the Utah quad meet Saturday, due to struggles on the bars and beam events.

Going into the meet, the Mountaineers were ranked No. 22, but after placing third in Saturday’s meet they moved out of the na-tion’s top 25 rankings.

The Mountaineers (2-2) scored a team total 192.25 in front of 14,917 fans at the Huntsman Center.

The No. 15 Utes (3-1) fin-ished first with a score of 196.95. No. 23 Oregon State (2-3) grabbed second place with a score of 195.95, and No. 20 Southern Utah (0-4) scored 191.05 and finished fourth.

“I was very impressed with how the team started the competition. We let some mental mistakes and falls rattle us on the uneven bars and balance beam,” said second-year head coach Jason Butts.

Coach Butts said he be-lieve the large crowd played a role in some of his teams struggles.

“At first our team was thriving off the attention and excitement from the crowd, but once we made mistakes I think the loud-ness became a distraction and overwhelming,” Butts said.

He went on to say his team will have to get use to performing in front of larger crowds because it will play in other venues that draw crowds of that size through-out the season.

The Mountaineers began the meet on floor hitting 6-for-6, giving them a score of 48.525 and second place

behind Utah.Senior Alaska Richard-

son is ranked No. 9 nation-ally scored 9.775, the high-est of all the Mountaineers. Senior Kaylyn Millick fin-ished second on the team scoring 9.750, while fellow senior Chelsea Goldschrafe followed with a season-best 9.725 on the floor.

In the second rotation the Mountaineers finished with a 49.05 vault score, giving them a team total of 97.575 and a second-place tie with Oregon State.

Four Mountaineers re-ceived season-high scores beginning with sopho-more Dayah Haley when she scored a 9.75. Millick finished with season-high score when she tied junior Hope Sloanhoffer with a 9.8 on vault. Freshman and Big 12 Newcomer of the

week Jaida Lawrence tied Richardson with a score of 9.850, a season best for both gymnasts.

The team fell to third place overall after struggling on the bars. The Mountain-eers scored a season-low 47.4 and finished fourth in the event. Sloanhoffer, 2012 Eastern Atlantic Gymnas-tic League Gymnast of the Year and all-around vault and bars champion, led the team with a score of 9.725.

WVU continued to strug-gle with its final rotation, scoring a 47.15 – the lowest of all the events – but held onto third place with South-ern Utah, scoring a 46.675.

Sophomore Lia Salzano finished with a season-high and team-best score on the beam, tallying 9.8.

Sloanhoffer finished with a score of 38.8, putting her

in fifth place for all-around performance, while Millick finished eighth with a score of 38.4. Utah’s Georgia Dab-ritz won the meet with a fi-nal score of 39.525.

Coach Butts is hoping his team will move on from last week’s road loss and focus on their upcoming meet against a former EAGL rival NC State.

“We have to focus on the task at hand. Our gymnas-tics is already in place, and the team knows it’s good,” Butts said. “This team knows how to fight; they proved it all last year.”

The Mountaineers will continue their road stretch when they travel to Ren-yolds Coliseum in Raleigh, N.C., to compete against No. 19 NC State Jan. 25 at 7 p.m.

The Big 12 Conference era of swimming and div-ing started with disap-pointment for West Vir-ginia Friday, as both the men’s and women’s teams were bested by the TCU Horned Frogs at the WVU Natatorium.

Despite a strong per-formance from senior Ra-chel Burnett, the women’s team fell 160-140 while the men’s team faltered 160-131.

Although both teams came up short, several Mountaineers put forth good individual efforts.

Senior Hugh Simmonds took the 200-meter free-style posting a time of 1:42.09, while sophomore Christopher Brill posted a second-place finish in the 100- and 200-meter breaststroke, putting up times of 58.75 and 2:10.00, respectively.

On the diving side, ju-nior Richard Pokorny placed first in both the 1- and 3-meter dives, post-ing scores of 306.82 and 350.92, respectively.

Burnett placed first in

the 1,000 free with a time of 10:06.12. Burnett also took first in the 500 free and 200 free, posting times of 5:00.4 and 1:51.63.

Leading the way for the women’s diving squad was sophomore Haily Vande-poel. The notable under-classman claimed victory in the 1-meter with a score of 281.77, and managed to take home the win for the 3-meter, scoring a 316.20.

On a day when the Mountaineers experienced their first Big 12 meet, the TCU Horned Frogs experi-enced their first Big 12 win in school history.

Last week’s Big 12 men’s Swimmer of the Week, sophomore Cooper Rob-inson, stole the show in the 200 back. His time of 1:48.19 broke the all-time WVU Natatorium record.

While the WVU women led early on in the meet, a clean sweep of the top the spots in the 100 free by the TCU women served as a catalyst for the Horned Frogs.

Senior Katie Scarsella led the way, finishing with a time of 51.85, while her senior teammates Sabine

Rasch and Parris Schoppa finished second and third with times of 52.05 and 53.18, respectively.

A fresh face aided the come-from-behind vic-tory for the TCU women. Freshman Aly Davis won the 100 back with a time of 58.67. Along with her win, Davis posted second place finishes in 200 back and the 400 individual med-ley, in which she finished two seconds behind her sophomore teammate Ali Bleasdell.

Following its first ever Big 12 action, the men’s team will have a month off before it heads down to Austin, Texas, for the Big 12 championships. The time off seems to be much needed, as the team is coming off tough losses in back-to-back meets.

While the men’s team is finished for the regular season, the women will face off against the Ohio Bobcats Saturday at noon in the WVU Natatorium.

Following that meet, the women will also have Feb-ruary to prepare for the conference championship.

Woman in Manti Te’o fake girlfriend photo speaks out

NEW YORK (AP) — The woman whose photo was used as the “face” of the Twitter account of Manti Te’o’s supposed girlfriend says the man allegedly be-hind the hoax confessed and apologized to her.

Diane O’Meara told NBC’s “Today” show Tues-day that Ronaiah Tuia-sosopo used pictures of her without her knowledge in creating a fake woman called Lennay Kekua. Te’o asserts he was tricked into an online romance with

Kekua and, until last week, did not understand he was being hoaxed.

O’Meara went to high school in California with Tuiasosopo, but she says they’re not close. He called to apologize Jan. 16, the day Deadspin.com broke the hoax story, she said.

“I don’t think there’s anything he could say to me that would fix this,” said O’Meara, a 23-year-old marketing executive in Los Angeles.

O’Meara said she had

never had any contact with Te’o, and that for five years, Tuiasosopo “has literally been stalking my Facebook and stealing my photos.”

Tuiasosopo has not spoken publicly since the news broke. His family has said they may speak out this week.

Te’o did an off camera interview with ESPN last week and is scheduled to appear on appear with his parents on Katie Cou-ric’s syndicated talk show Thursday.

MEN’S SOCCER

FPa proposes revisions to NFl’s rooney rule

Schoenle drafted by Philadelphia Union

file phOTOEric Schoenle, middle, was a four-year starter during his career with the West Virginia men’s soccer team. He was taken with the 12th overall pick of Tuesday’s MLS Supplemental Draft.

By miChael CarVellisports editor

Eric Schoenle has al-ways been sure he wanted to be a professional soc-cer player.

So when the Philadel-phia Union called his name with the 12th over-all selection in Tuesday’s MLS Supplemental Draft, it took some time for him to realize his dream had just become a reality.

“I couldn’t stop smil-ing,” he said. “It’s pretty surreal. I’ve been dream-ing of this day since I started playing soccer and for it to finally happen ... it was just a great feeling.

“I still can’t believe it.”Because the Union

drafted Schoenle, he’ll have the chance to return close to home to continue his career. The Yardley, Pa., native grew up just 40 minutes from Phila-delphia, and getting to play where his family and friends can see him every game makes the opportu-nity even more special.

“I think the person that’s most excited about me staying close to home is my mom,” he said. “This is definitely the team that I would have hoped to go to from the beginning. I love the stadium, love the at-mosphere, love the fans. It’s something I was hop-ing for, and now that I’ve got the opportunity, I’ve got to make the most of it.”

Schoenle will leave WVU as one of the best

players in program history.He registered 5,395

minutes while starting all but one game in his Mountaineer career. Al-though he was a defender and was a consistent force on the back line, Schoenle showed off just how versa-tile he could be as a senior.

The 6-foot-2 defender led the Mountaineers with 12 points on six goals – in-cluding two game-win-ners – during their 9-6-2 season.

He remembers one of the first conversations he had when he was being recruited by WVU head coach Marlon LeBlanc.

The two discussed why playing in Morgantown would help give him the skills needed to make it to the next level.

And after a productive career in the Old Gold and Blue, those words proved to be true.

“I remember Marlon asked me what I wanted to accomplish while I was in college, and one of the first things I said was that I wanted to play profession-ally,” Schoenle said. “If I just wanted to play in col-lege and have that be the end of my career, he would have supported that, but he is a great coach and a great person to help you get where you want to be if you’re a young soccer player.”

I n P h i l a d e l p h i a Schoenle will join former WVU player Ray Gaddis on the Union’s back line.

Gaddis was selected No. 35 by the Union last sea-son and started 17 games in his rookie season. The two helped form one of the strongest defenses in the country during Schoenle’s first three seasons at West Virginia.

“It’ll only help me hav-ing played with him before and being comfortable around him,” Schoenle said. “He’ll help me out a lot and should be some-one that I can go talk to if I ever need anything, so that will be big for me to have when I get there.”

A lot of mock drafts heading into the first two rounds of the MLS Super-Draft had Schoenle pro-jected to go in the first round or early second round. So when Schoenle had to wait until Tuesday’s supplemental draft to hear his name called, it was ob-viously a disappointment.

But plans to use that as motivation and show teams what they missed out on by hav-ing success on the field in Philadelphia.

“It was really tough,” he said. “Any time you are projected to be drafted high and you slip you’re going to get disappointed and mad and carry that with you for a while.

“I’ll definitely go into camp and I’ll just try to prove people wrong and show people what they missed out on.”

Mountaineers were dealt their third conference loss by five or fewer points – which hasn’t happened since 2006.

Last season, the Big 12 sent seven teams to the NCAA tournament (one of which was Texas A&M, now a member of the SEC). Ev-ery team that made it to the tournament from the Big 12 in 2012 had a record of at least 8-8 in conference play.

Using a record of at least .500 in major-confer-ence play is a pretty stan-dard metric when judging a team’s chances at mak-ing the tournament, and a look at the Mountaineers’ remaining schedule shows Carey and crew have some work left to do, but dancing in March is still possible.

It won’t be easy, though.The Mountaineers have

11 games remaining, eight of which are against teams currently ranked in the top 25.

Playing a difficult sched-ule the second half of the season isn’t new to West Virginia. In fact, last season, the Mountaineers faced an almost identical situation.

Six ranked teams faced West Virginia in the final 11 games of the regular season, and the Mountaineers were able to compile seven vic-tories, as well as secure an eventual tournament bid in the process.

There’s also the confer-ence tournament – a place where tournament bids can be punched at the last minute, but the hope is the Mountaineers won’t have to do too much work when they travel to Dallas for the Big 12 conference tourna-ment the second week of March.

The more attractive the regular season resume, the higher the seed – which means a higher chance of going further into the tournament.

Last season, the Moun-taineers were bounced in the second round of the tournament after falling to Stanford, a No. 1 seed. No. 9 West Virginia was able to knock off Texas in its first-round game.

In eight NCAA Tourna-ment berths, the Mountain-

eers have never advanced past the second round. But for now, winning NCAA Tournament games isn’t what this team is thinking about.

Just getting a date to the big dance is all that is on the team’s radar.

It’s just like I said: at the end of the day, that’s what the goal is for everyone, right?

(AP) — After minority candidates were recently shut out by NFL teams for 15 top jobs, the Fritz Pol-lard Alliance wants the Rooney Rule to include co-ordinators, assistant head coaches and club presi-dent positions.

The proposal sent Tues-day to league executives came a week after no mi-norities were hired for eight coaching vacancies and seven general man-ager openings. There are only four minority head coaches going into the 2013 season, the fewest since 2003.

“I think the league rec-ognizes that these are the challenges we are dealing with when it relates to di-versity and this is a plan of action that they can ac-cept and be willing to work with,” John Wooten, chair-man of the Fritz Pollard Al-liance Foundation said. “I feel very comfortable that this will be extended into the Rooney Rule.”

Robert Gulliver, the NFL’s executive vice pres-ident of human resources, said in a statement last week the hiring results were “disappointing ” and anticipated making revisions.

In a letter to Gulliver and Jeff Pash, the NFL’s exec-utive vice president and general counsel, the al-liance said: “We believe pipeline issues are a part of the reason we’ve seen a reduction in head coaches of color over the past few years, and this expansion will diversify the head coaching pipeline.”

With teams trending to-ward hiring coaches with offensive backgrounds, it’s important for minor-ities to hold coordinator positions. Baltimore’s Jim Caldwell and Pep Hamil-ton, hired last week by In-dianapolis, are the only minority offensive coordi-nators in the NFL.

Caldwell, who led the Colts to a Super Bowl ap-pearance in his first season in 2009, didn’t even get an interview for a coaching vacancy this offseason.

“In this quarterback-dominated era, it seems clubs are increasingly look-ing for offensive coaches to fill head coaching posi-tions in particular, and far too few minority coaches have been given offensive coordinator and play-call-ing responsibilities,” said Cyrus Mehri, co-founder and counsel of the FPA. “We want to see a special focus on offensive coordi-nator and play calling du-ties going forward.

“We have many experi-enced wide receiver and running back position coaches ready to be coor-dinators now.”

Wooten said the Rooney Rule for coordinators wouldn’t apply to just-hired coaches because “it wouldn’t be fair to them” going into their interviews.

“We made a differen-tial in that the rule extends to a sitting coach when he starts to hire coordi-nators and assistant head coaches,” Wooten said. “It wouldn’t be fair to a coach coming in because that’s one of the real positives of a new coach when he’s sitting in that interview is to be able to tell them ex-actly who his staff will be and who has committed to coming with him.”

The alliance also pro-posed a reinstatement of the league’s front office and coaching symposia to train coaches and front of-fice personnel for future opportunities.

There’s never been a mi-nority team president.

“That’s very important now because the presi-dent is very much involved in the selection process,” Wooten said.

The Rooney Rule was implemented in 2003 and

named after Pittsburgh Steelers chairman Dan Rooney, who pushed for it. Before the diversity rule, there had only been six mi-nority head coaches in the NFL in more than 80 years. Since then, 12 have been hired.

The Fritz Pollard Alli-ance is a group of minority coaches, front office and scouting personnel estab-lished 10 years ago.

NFL lo oking into Brady’s slide vs. Ravens

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL is looking into Tom Brady’s leg-up slide that hit Ravens safety Ed Reed in the AFC championship game.

League spokesman Greg Aiello said Tuesday “any play of that nature is rou-tinely reviewed.”

Brady could be sub-ject to a fine if the league believes he violated any player safety rules.

During the final minute of the first half, Brady slid at the end of an impromptu run.

The quarterback’s up-raised leg hit the onrush-ing Reed, who temporar-ily limped away. Reed was not injured.

Reed says Brady at-tempted to apologize this week for the slide.

“He actually reached out to me, texted me,” Reed told WJZ-FM in Baltimore. “I tried to text him back, but the message exploded after 12 seconds, so I had to call him. ... He’s just apol-ogized and what not. But I told him, ‘You know, it’s good, man.’”

Reed did not believe Brady was trying to hurt him.

“I know he’s a great player,” Reed said. “I re-spect Brady and his game for all it stands for, and I know he’s not a dirty player.

“And emotions get going in the game.”
