4,700 freshmen attend orientation

BY ERIN FITZWILLIAMSSTAFF WRITER

While more than 4,700 stu-dents have registered for a re-quired orientation session at West Virginia University, the list grows each day.

New students and their families will be flooding the Mountainlair and Downtown Campus every weekday until June 24.

More than 80 percent of new undergraduate students attend one of the June sessions, said New Student Orientation Coor-dinator Courtney Jennings.

“It’s the fi nal stop to becom-ing an offi cial Mountaineer,” she said. “When they leave here to-day they have their ID card in hand, their fall schedule in hand, they have opportunities to see a room in the residence halls.”

Orientation is required for all incoming students, mainly to schedule courses. If they cannot attend, they must wait for gen-eral registration or attend an ad-ditional orientation in August.

Each freshman has a diff er-ent experience during his or her visit. Steven Neel, pre-sports management major, learned how to schedule classes and was able to meet some peers.

“I feel good, and I can’t wait for the year to start,” Neel said. “I met some people who live in the same tower.”

Th e orientation takes up the majority of the day, beginning with the math placement exam in the morning before the offi -cial welcome to WVU.

Students and parents get the chance to attend diff erent mini-seminars and group meetings. Students can also meet new peers and leaders of several stu-dent organizations.

Jennings hopes the new stu-dents get involved in organiza-tions and other groups at WVU but also have the ability to keep a balanced workload along with extracurricular activities.

White, E. Moore halls to undergo multiple summer renovations

BY JERRY HILDENBRANDSTAFF WRITER

Pardon the construction. Buildings on West Virginia Uni-versity’s Downtown Campus have been undergoing renova-tions since the summer of 2006.

White and E. Moore halls are being upgraded following reno-vation projects on Colson Hall, Oglebay Hall and Brooks Hall.

White Hall is being com-pletely remodeled and upgraded while E. Moore Hall is undergo-ing masonry restoration, roof-ing replacement, roofing re-pair and a repaint of all exterior wood trim.

Th e construction on E. Moore Hall started April 15. Todd Ravesloot, the project manager, said it is being conducted safely and quickly.

“As of now, no classes or oc-cupants have been aff ected by

our construction,” he said.Ravesloot hopes it will be fi n-

ished by Aug. 15, before the start of fall classes.

White Hall is currently un-dergoing a complete renova-tion, much like the improve-ments made to Colson, Oglebay and Brooks.

“After the renovation of Brooks Hall in 2006, geology and geog-raphy moved out (of White Hall), and the building was sparsely occupied,” said John Sommers, project manager for the White Hall renovation.

Sommers said the building is being renovated under a 10-year master plan approved in 2006. White Hall is being turned into a general purpose building with classrooms and research laboratories.

Number of unpaid University parking

tickets increasesBY MORGAN MCCORMICK

STAFF WRITER

More than 42,750 unpaid park-ing tickets have been left at West Virginia University’s Transporta-tion and Parking Offi ce through-out the past four years, equaling $560,417.

Last year, the University vamped up enforcement, issu-ing 17,070 tickets, an increase of 7,403 tickets from the previous

year, said Eric Rosie, assistant di-rector of Parking Management at WVU. Th e number of tickets has increased each year since 2006, when 7,165 tickets were issued.

With close to 8,100 spaces and more than 29,000 students, there are not enough spaces for every-one, and almost every space re-quires some kind of payment.

Health Sciences bans tobacco useBY DEVON UNGER

CITY EDITOR

West Virginia University Health Sciences Campus is now tobacco free, marking the fi rst of WVU’s campuses to join tobacco-free eff orts.

The decision came after the University’s Board of Governors approved a policy banning smok-ing on the Health Science Center Campus Friday at its meeting in Charleston.

Th e approval came because of

“widespread” support from em-ployees and students, according to a WVU press release.

No tobacco in any form will permitted in any areas, specifi -cally sidewalks, roads, parking areas and green spaces, inside or outside the Health Sciences Campus.

Signs will be installed to alert visitors to the change, and the Wellness program at the HSC will provide nicotine replacement therapy and counseling to to WVU employees and spouses who are

West Virginia residents.The policy change was pre-

sented to the BOG by Health Sci-ences Center Chancellor Christo-pher Colenda in February.

“We are obligated, as West Virginia’s leading institution for health, to set an example for oth-ers,” Colenda said, in a press re-lease. “Eliminating the use of to-bacco and the exposure of our employees, students and visitors to second-hand smoke isn’t just the popular thing to do – it’s the right thing to do.”

University Health Associates and WVU Hospitals adopted an-ti-smoking policies in November, aligning with existing regulations at the National Institute of Occu-pational Safety and Health.

University President James P. Clements appointed a task force in December to update the pre-vious campus-wide smoking pol-icy, established in 1990. Th e issue was brought up after the Student Government Association passed a resolution supporting a change of policy in February 2009.

Task force member Abby So-bonya lobbied to implement a state-wide smoking ban at all hospitals and health sciences campuses.

She said evidence indicated a campus-wide smoking ban would not be feasible but believed cessa-tion programs would increase any smoking ban’s chance of success. She used the shortcomings of the Pennsylvania state-wide smoking ban as an example.

“It didn’t work out,” Sobonya said. “It was due to, if you don’t

have a way to stop, how can you stop cold turkey.”

Th e organization Students for Sensible Drug Policy opposes the passage of such a ban.

“Th e basic question I would ask is ‘What right does the University have to do this,’” said Daniel Sha-pirio, associate professor of phi-losophy and the faculty adviser for the SSDP. “It’s an infringement on individual rights to tell adults they have no right to smoke outdoors.”

Ross named Medicine dean; 3 dean positions openBY DEVON UNGER

CITY EDITOR

Arthur J. Ross was named dean of the West Virginia University School of Medicine Friday.

Ross’ hire at the School of Medi-cine was announced by Health Sci-ences Center Chancellor Christo-pher Colenda.

Ross joins Robert Jones, of the Eberly College of Arts and Sci-ences, and Jose Sartarelli, of the College of Business and Econom-ics, as new deans hired in the last two months.

Th ree other colleges will have new deans in the future.

Th e College of Creative Arts, Th e

Davis College of Agriculture Natu-ral Resources and Design and the School of Dentistry will be seeking new deans.

Cameron Hackney, dean of the Davis College, and Bernie Schultz, dean of the CAC, will serve un-til June 2011. Louise Veselicky has served as interim dean at the School of Dentistry since 2007.

Th e dean searches have not be-gun for the Davis College or the CAC, but the administration has decided these positions will be re-placed, said Assistant Vice Presi-dent of University Relations Becky Lofstead through an e-mail.

David Welsh, a public rela-tions specialist for the Davis Col-

lege, said Hackney decided it was time to step down after a decade as dean.

“It was a mutual decision. He had been dean for about 10 years, and just based on a shared lead-ership philosophy, they decided 10 years is a pretty good tenure for a dean,” Welsh said. “It’s as long as they wanted one person in the position.”

Hackney was proud of the ac-complishments during his tenure, Welsh said, including increasing enrollment and research funding for the college.

After serving as dean of the CAC, Shultz would like to fi ll another po-sition at WVU.

“I’m in the process right now of fi nalizing the details of what might be an assignment here, to keep me on here at WVU,” Schultz said. “Nothing really has been verifi ed as to what a new assignment might be.”

Schultz came to WVU as an in-structor in 1977 and is considering returning to classroom.

“I’m fi ve years away from re-tirement, and I’d very much like to end my professional career here at WVU,” he said. “Right now, they’re looking at the possibility of working with the art museum or going back to teaching, which I dearly love.”

New Student Orientation off ers fi rst glimpse of WVU

began in 2008 with the interior portions of the building, includ-ing all mechanical systems, Som-mers said.

“Th e building has been unoc-cupied since that time and is cur-rently in the processes of being reconstructed for use by the Phys-ics Department that is now being housed in Hodges Hall,” he said.

Although White Hall’s offi cial renovation started in 2008, the re-construction portion did not start until this year. Sommers believes it should reach a substantial level of completion by May 2011.

Once completed, White Hall will include new infrastructure, such as new HVAC, plumbing, electrical service, energy effi cient windows, research and teaching labs and a planetarium located on the roof.

White Hall was originally con-structed on WVU’s downtown campus in 1942, and served as the home of the College of Min-eral and Mining Resources.

According to the WVU website, E. Moore Hall, was named after Elizabeth Moore, the dean of fe-male educators. It was dedicated in 1928 as a lounge and gymna-sium for women.

Since then, this historic struc-ture has been opened to all stu-dents and features a dance stu-dio, swimming pool, small gym and the main lounge on the fi rst fl oor. It also has a garden on the roof.

a permit lot without a decal will receive a $20 fi ne. Expired park-ing meters or paid-lot tickets net an initial $5 fi ne which increases the longer the meter or ticket is ex-pired. With just one ticket costing $20, they can start to add up.

Rosie said several conse-quences can come from unpaid parking tickets.

“If a student does not pay their parking citations, a hold is placed on their account,” Rosie said. “Th is will not allow the student to regis-ter for classes, receive a diploma or receive an offi cial transcript af-

ter graduation.” Th is policy forces students to

pay up before they graduate.“I had an outstanding balance

of $100, and I had to pay it off in or-der to graduate,” said Matthew Ba-ranski, criminology and investiga-tions major and May graduate.

If a University employee has unpaid citations he or she will not be able to renew his or her parking permit on campus until the cita-tions are paid in full.

Any vehicle with more than fi ve citations is eligible to be towed, and to claim your vehicle, all ci-tations and the tow bill must be paid.

According to a report in USA Today, the University of Florida

has $223,000 worth of unpaid tick-ets and the University of Texas at Austin has $560,000.

The report said universities across the country are becoming stricter with parking violations to help compensate for budget shortfalls. Some are hiring collec-tion agencies to pursue violators.

Th e University of Texas pur-chased new technology to catch repeat off enders. A special $25,000 camera scans the license plate of every car entering a lot and no-tifi es parking offi cers. If some-one has four or more tickets, a boot is placed on the car to force payment.

Visitors at orientation can also take part in an information fair and an optional campus tour at the end of day.

“Th ey (the freshmen) seem very knowledgeable this year,” said Erin Keller, orientation

leader and animal and nutri-tional sciences major. “I feel like I haven’t answered a lot of ques-tions, they seem to have done their homework.”

WVU sports teams support Preston Co. fundraiserThe Old Central Preston Mid-

dle School Football Field in Pres-ton County is hosting “It’s a great day to be a Mountaineer,” a fund-raiser to repair the football field this Saturday.

In Spring 2009, a wind storm caused damage to the field re-sulting in the loss of the score-board, press box and conces-sion stand. The West Virginia University football team, along with players from the men’s and

women’s basketball teams, will be there to support the cause.

“This is a really good cause, a lot of kids use this field, ages 5 to 13, and they really need this help to fix their field,” said Joann Bussey, football league president.

The fundraiser starts at noon and will last until 4 p.m. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the gate. Approximately $3,300 worth of door prizes will be raf-

fled off throughout the day, the ticket of entry serves as the raf-fle ticket. There will also be a moon bounce and a dunk tank for the children, and “Mater” the truck from “Cars” will also make an appearance.

All proceeds go to fixing the field. For tickets call 304-329-3344 or tickets can be purchased at City Hall in Kingwood, until Friday.

Car wash raises money for PrideBY MORGAN MCCORMICK

STAFF WRITER

Members of the Omicron chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi at West Virginia University held their annual car wash Saturday to raise money for the Prie of West Virginia, the Mountaineer Marching Band.

Kappa Kappa Psi is the na-tional marching band frater-nity, and currently has 35 ac-tive members at WVU.

Senior psychology major and President Justin Roth said the fraternity usually raise around $300 with the car wash, and all of the money raised goes to the band.

Kappa Kappa Psi holds five main fundraisers a year. It has raffles, food sales at the CAC, its annual car wash and cloth-ing sales.

Roth also said the band has an apparel line to help raise money. Band Warehouse apparel can be found at Davis & Lee and All In Stitches in Morgantown, and at

Winner’s Choice in Fairmont.Sam Viggiano, vice president

of fundraising, said he is orga-nizing three to four other fund-raisers which include a spaghetti dinner, tickets to the director’s booth and various activities at band camp.

“We bring in roughly $8,000 plus and are known for being one of the best fraternities in fundraising,” Viggiano said.

The events provide funding for four annual scholarships and any other activities the groups needs to fund through-out the year.

Assistant Director of Bands Chris Nichter said although the fraternity is not a major fund-raising body for the band, the students do an “excellent” job with the activities they do par-ticipate in.

“Their biggest fundraiser is the warehouse,” Nichter said. “The money they raise goes to them, and subsequently to the band since they are a part of it.”

Roth said WVU’s chapter is

highly regarded by its peers.“We have been the top chap-ter in the nation for the past 18 years,” he said.

This consists of being an “ex-tremely” strong brotherhood throughout the fraternity. Mem-bers are expected to surpass expectations and pass a rig-orous application process. At-tending all events, passing two tests, and proving to someone within the fraternity that they are qualified.

According to the organiza-tion’s website, Kappa Kappa Psi Fraternity was founded on the campus of Oklahoma State University in 1919 to serve the band programs. The fraternity has more than 200 chapters with 5,000 active members across the country. WVU’s chapter of KKP was founded in 1926 as a sep-arate entity from the marching band, and was disbanded and reestablished numerous times since then.

West Virginia jobless fund continues spiraling downCHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) —

State officials remain worried that by year’s end, continuing unemployment will deplete the fund that supports jobless resi-dents while they seek new work, lawmakers learned Tuesday.

The benefits fund had a $109 million balance as of Monday, but it could go dry by Decem-ber if 2010 proves a repeat of last year, interim WorkForce West Virginia Director Russell Fry told a House-Senate committee.

The compensation fund pro-vided weekly benefits to an av-erage of 27,332 people in 2009, the highest level for federal fig-ures since 1987. So far this year, weekly claims have averaged 27,135.

Fry credited lawmakers for keeping the fund afloat. Legis-lation passed in 2008 at Gov. Joe Manchin’s request raised the premiums that employers pay toward the fund and boosted it with $40 million from an insur-ance-related program.

“Last year was a disaster. The actions you folks took saved us,” Fry said.

But the threat of going broke had lawmakers asking Fry to re-turn next month with options to avoid that.

Officials had earlier cited the threat of insolvency after the trust fund’s balance slipped below $100 million in Febru-ary. But West Virginia remains among a dwindling minority of states that have avoided borrow-ing federal funds to cover job-less benefits as damage from the Great Recession persists.

Thirty-one states, including all five of West Virginia’s neigh-bors, owed a total of $38 billion as of Friday, the U.S. Labor De-partment reports.

Sen. Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall,

questioned whether the state could gain an edge from its re-gional competitors for employ-ers by choosing the right path toward continued solvency.

“That may create an oppor-tunity for us to jump out of the pack, so to speak,” Kessler said.

Delegate Craig Blair, R-Berke-ley, suggested gradually reduc-ing weekly benefits for jobless West Virginians, to push them to find new work. He said Fry should seek ideas from employ-ers, and focus on making the state fund more accountable.

“Certainly, it can’t be perfect,” Blair said.

Lawmakers increased what

employers pay toward the fund by taxing the first $12,000 of each workers’ wages, up from the first $8,000. That level will eventu-ally drop to $9,000 but remain linked to changes in wages.

Fry said while eight states tax just the first $7,000, Washing-ton state has the highest level at $35,700.

West Virginia’s weekly bene-fits run as high as $424. Fry said maximum benefits range in other states from $942 in Massa-chusetts to $235 in Mississippi.

Chronic, double-digit unem-ployment previously exhausted West Virginia’s fund in the early 1980.

Massey: MSHA mine ventalitiaion unsafe

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Massey Energy Co. claimed Tues-day that a federal ventilation plan designed for coal mines with high levels of methane can reduce air fl ow in mines that produce less of the gas, potentially creating ex-plosive buildups.

Th e Mine Safety and Health Ad-ministration required the plan at Massey’s Upper Big Branch mine, where 29 men died in a suspected methane explosion April 5. Th e blast is the focus of civil and crim-inal investigations.

Massey Chief Executive Don Blankenship said in a letter to governors in several states that MSHA required the plan at Up-per Big Branch despite a warn-ing about its safety last year by an Illinois coal company, Mach Mining.

But Massey stopped short of claiming the ventilation system caused the Upper Big Branch tragedy.

“We’re not ready to say that yet. We’re willing to say that it’s something that certainly should be looked as part of the investi-gation and should be looked at by somebody other than MSHA,” said Massey lawyer Shane Harvey.

MSHA required a Mach mine in Illinois to use the system last year and is believed to be requiring it at mines in several other states, Harvey said. Mach is appealing citations for violations stemming from MSHA’s ventilation plan.

“We think it’s a safety issue that aff ects diff erent states and miners in diff erent states,” Harvey said.

In the letter, Blankenship tells the governors of Illinois, West Vir-ginia, Virginia and Kentucky that the system required by federal regulators is unsafe. All four are major coal-producing states.

MSHA had no immediate comment.

West Virginia mine safety chief

Ron Wooten said there’s not enough information available to substantiate Massey’s charges. “Hopefully the conclusions of this investigation will help all par-ties fully understand what hap-pened,” Wooten said through a spokeswoman.

Virginia plans to review is-sues raised in the letter as indi-vidual mine ventilation plans are submitted, said Mike Abbott, a spokesman for the Department of Mines Minerals and Energy.

Th e mines in question use a longwall system a 1,000-foot-long machine somewhat akin to a deli slicer – to extract coal.

Th e system MSHA is pushing was designed to capture methane in longwall mines working in the Pittsburgh seam in southwestern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia, Massey said. Th at seam is prone to releasing relatively high volumes of methane.

Th e company argues that the system is dangerous in seams that release lower amounts of meth-ane because it keeps gas levels

closer to the explosive range.“We can demonstrate, I think,

that air fl ow was reduced after we implemented this plan,” Harvey said.

Blankenship charges that MSHA’s system lowered air fl ow to the longwall face and the mined out area behind the machine at Big Branch. Th e system also sent air containing dust and methane removed from other parts of the mine on a circuitous route to the surface.

Modern coal mines rely on ventilation to dilute methane and flush it out as quickly as possible.

“Th e air fl ow under their plan met the minimum requirements,” Harvey said. “Ours would pro-duce a lot more air to fl ush away methane.”

Oil spill facts in Gulf of Mexico seem as murky as the watersNEW ORLEANS (AP) — Th e cap

over a broken BP wellhead at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico is collecting more gushing crude day by day, but that’s about the extent of the details known as authori-ties try to pinpoint how much oil is escaping, where it’s going and what harm it will cause.

Th e recently installed contain-ment cap on the stricken BP well-head is helping to limit the leak, collecting more than 620,000 gal-lons of oil Monday, Coast Guard Adm. Th ad Allen said Tuesday in Washington. Still, underwater video feeds continue to show a dark geyser.

“I have never said this is going well,” Allen said, who’s monitor-ing the response eff ort for the gov-ernment. “We’re throwing every-thing at it that we’ve got. I’ve said time and time again that nothing good happens when oil is on the water.”

Authorities had earlier reported that the cap collected around 460,000 gallons Sunday and that it was capturing anywhere from a third to three-quarters of the oil spewing out after a damaged riser pipe was cut as part of the con-tainment eff ort, increasing the fl ow as a side eff ect.

University of Texas engineering professor Paul Bommer, a mem-ber of the Coast Guard team that’s trying to determine how much oil is still leaking, told Th e Associated Press it’s possible that estimates the team will generate could be a bit higher than current govern-ment estimates.

BP announced plans recently to swap out the current cap with a bigger one next month that can capture more oil, raising questions about why such plans weren’t in place at fi rst as a backup.

“I know it takes some time to fabricate these things,” Bommer said. “It’s not something you just go to Wal-Mart and buy.”

Th e current equipment collect-ing the spilled oil at the surface is believed to be nearing its daily capacity. BP spokesman Max McGahan told the AP the com-pany will process some of the fl ow by sending it to a burner that turns it into a combustible fog and ignites it.

Th e rig equipped with the burner will be moved away from the main leak site so fl ames and heat do not endanger other ves-sels, he said.

BP will also boost capacity by bringing in a fl oating plat-

form it believes can process most of the fl ow, spokesman Robert Wine said. He didn’t know when it would arrive.

Bommer’s team, the Flow Rate Technical Group, includes federal scientists, independent experts and academic researchers, and its projections could ultimately be used to penalize BP judging by how much oil escapes.

BP CEO Tony Hayward is scheduled to testify before a con-gressional committee June 17 about the company’s role in a rig explosion April 20 that killed 11 workers, and the ensuing spill.

Hayward enraged many when he later said, “I’d like my life back,” and is sure to receive pointed questions from lawmakers about the cause of the accident and the response to it.

President Barack Obama, who on Monday told NBC’s “Today” show that he had met with fi sh-ermen and experts so he knew “whose ass to kick” over the spill, plans to visit the region Monday and Tuesday for a fourth time since the crisis began, the White House said.

And Allen planned to meet with BP to assess how well it is handling claims for relief from people hurt by the spill.

Th e aim is “to see if we need to provide any oversight,” Allen said, noting that “working claims is not something that’s part of BP’s orga-nizational competence here.”

Alabama Gov. Bob Riley called out the National Guard on Tues-day to help spread the word among coastal residents that they could ask BP for compensa-tion, noting that few have applied. Guardsmen will go through com-munities for three weeks telling people about the claims process, he said.

Tests have confi rmed plumes of oil in low concentrations as far as 3,300 feet below the surface and more than 40 miles north-east of the well site, NOAA Ad-

ministrator Jane Lubchenco said Tuesday.

On the surface, oil is washing up thick in some areas, leaving others relatively unscathed, and playing hide-and-seek in others. Th e spill’s fi ckle nature was evi-dent this week near the Alabama-Florida state line.

On the Alabama side on Mon-day, oil-laden seaweed littered beaches for miles, and huge or-ange globs stained the sands. But at Perdido Key, on the Florida side, the sand was white and vir-tually crude-free.

On Tuesday morning, though, the Alabama side looked mark-edly better, with calmer seas, signs that cleanup crews had vis-ited and sticky clumps of oil no longer clinging to washed-up seaweed.

BP said Tuesday it would do-nate money from selling the re-covered oil to wildlife protection in the region, where birds and other wildlife are dying in num-bers unknown.

As the sun rose at Barataria Bay, La., on Tuesday, marsh is-lands teemed with oily brown pel-icans and crude-stained white ibis. The birds inadvertently used their oiled beaks like paint brushes, dabbing at their wings, as the brown goo bled into their feathers.

Some struggled to fly, flut-tered and fell, while others just sat and tried to clean themselves, sqwawking and flapping their wings. Dolphins bobbed in the oily sheen nearby.

Fishing guide Dave Marino looked out over the water in dis-belief and disgust. Th e 41-year-old fi refi ghter has been fi shing these waters for 20 years.

“I’m an optimistic guy, so hope-fully it doesn’t just overwhelm the entire system,” he said. “But if it continues to go on and the oil keeps coming in, eventually the balance is going to tip. Th en what happens? Is it all over?”

Unfortunately, we can only wait on BPThe Deepwater Horizon oil

rig exploded 49 days ago, kill-ing 11 crew members and rup-turing an underwater pipeline, sending anywhere from 12,000 to 25,000 barrels of oil spewing into the Gulf of Mexico each day.

For 49 days, the people of the United States – and around the world – have watched as Brit-ish Petroleum, titan of the oil industry, has failed to contain the leak as the oil slick reached the size of a small state.

It has become, unquestion-ably, the worst environmen-tal disaster in the nation’shistory.

White House energy adviser Carol Browner went so far as to tell “Face the Nation” the leak – if it can still be called that – may not be stopped un-til August.

Fragile fisheries and marshes along the Gulf Coast have al-ready been impacted, as globs of oil have washed ashore.

So far, 25 percent of the Gulf is now closed off to fishing, with more likely as the magnitude of the the leak expands.

As the oil slick spreads, the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida will surely be harmed, if not ruined.

Those states rely heavily upon

fishing and tourism to sustain their economies. Like the rest of us, the people of those states can do little but watch, wait and react.

Worse still, the spill may not be limited to the Gulf Coast.

A hurricane could send the oil miles inland. Scientific models released by the National Cen-ter for Atmospheric Research predict that the slick could en-ter the Gulfstream Current and shoot up the Atlantic Coast as well, pounding shores from the Florida Keys to North Carolina. All this before the fall.

And we can do nothing. The worst part of this spill,

other than the ruined econo-mies and fragile coastlines of several states, is that we, the people, can do virtually noth-ing but watch.

Even the president, whose office we sometimes perceive as all-powerful, can do nothing but stand on the shores peering off into the deep.

The oil industry has long held its regulators and consum-ers captive.

Just as the recent financial crisis was due in part because the private sector was miles ahead of its regulators, the federal government (notably the Environmental Protection

Agency and Department of En-ergy) bore almost no oversight into drilling miles beneath the surface of the ocean.

All they did was stand by and watch.

This country, this world, needs clean energy alternatives. That much is a given.

But for now, we must work with the hand we’ve been dealt. The hand, as it were, that we the consumers, asked for.

We wanted cheap petroleum; we got cheap petroleum. Now we must bear the unfortunate consequences.

Some advice on how to stand out at and keep your fi rst real job

A new book, “Effective Im-mediately: How to Fit In, Stand Out, and Move Up at Your First Real Job” by Charleston, W.Va., marketing executives Emily Bennington and Skip Lineberg, got the gears in my head a-turning.

The book was written by two people who have (pre-sumably) maintained employ-ment throughout this Great Recession, so it has instant credibility.

The publication has been fea-tured by The Huffington Post, Monster.com, ABC and even The Charleston Gazette.

After reading up on the book, I began thinking of all the ways in which I and my many suc-cessful friends and familymembers have really been no-ticed at work (or not been fired).

As a business student, a small business owner and a sub-scriber to BusinessWeek maga-zine, I feel more than qualified to opine on ways to not only

keep, but excel at, your first real job.

Thus, with a little help from my inner circle and my favor-ite TV shows, I’ve derived a list of my own.

Plaster your educational �background to the walls.

In a discussion about real life Michael Scott (from “The Of-fice”) bosses, my brother-in-law took first place.

One headman at a medi-um-sized brokerage displayed framed the entirety of hiseducation on the walls of his office.

The boss, who never attended college, made up for his lack of educational prestige by framing his high school diploma, as well as “Certificates of Graduation” for completing Video Professor lessons in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

The certificates, I was told, were designed by the boss us-ing Word and were poorly done, at best.

Regardless, this proves the old adage that, “you can never have too much education” while providing immediate respect for your mental acumen.

Supplies: Frames, hammer,

nails, lack of self-respectTip: Glue the frames to the

wall. That way, you’ll seem like a permanent office fixture.

Tailor your wardrobe to �your job.

One of the best ways to stand out at the workplace is to match your clothes with your job and your personality.

This concept is self-reinforc-ing, thus the results can be ex-ponential (go ahead, check my math).

If, for example, you happen to be an up-and-coming emer-gency room surgeon with a steady eye for the classy but a shaky hand, consider wearing black scrubs.

Dying patients with poor vi-sion will confuse you with the Grim Reaper, ultimately freeing up hospital beds more quickly and earning you a unique and uncanny mystique.

If, as another example, you land a job in the financial sector, wear green, which is the same color as money and will surely remind everyone that it’s what you care about most.

Supplies: Credit card, mirror and a sense of style

T i p : O n e w o r d

– monochrome.

Bring your lunch to �work.

Working in downtown Mor-gantown makes it easy to just walk down High Street or over to the Mountainlair to grab a quick bite to eat.

But those purchases add up, and on an entry-level in-come, your budget is going to be stretched as is.

Do the math: If you eat lunch every day at work for a paltry $10, that equates to somewhere in the ballpark of $200 each month.

That’s a car payment (for that 2006 Honda Civic). Thus, taking your lunch can have big savings for the year.

Bennington warns, however, to not eat “el-desko.” Just be-cause your bagging it doesn’t mean you can’t join the fun and socialize with your colleagues.

But remember, your goal is to stand out. So bring your lunch every day. The same lunch, that is, every day.

My suggestion is tuna. Not only is this a healthy op-

tion for any diet, guys you’ll get a great nickname like “Big Tuna.”

Supplies: Chicken of the Sea, can opener, onions, mus-tard, mayo, knife, pickle relish (to taste)

Tip: Get frequent blood tests to check for Mercury poisoning, and carry breath mints.

Get involved in office so-�cial life.

Just like in the movies “Old School” and “Office Space” get-ting involved in activities (legal or not) with co-workers outside of the work can gain you imme-diate respect at work.

Not only will it increase your self-esteem, but it will help you get to know your co-workers and maybe even your bosses.

Start a club like “Accountants Anoymous” and meet at the lo-cal watering hole every Friday to discuss expense reports and the merits of cranberries plus vodka.

If applicable, make sure ini-tiation is as painful as possi-ble (both financially and phys-ically). It’s how Voldemort rose through the ranks.

Supplies: A meeting space, healthy liver and an ability to handle office romance.

Tip: Avoid co-workers from human resources like the

plague. They say they are “peo-ple persons,” but they are also great liars.

Buy business books.�“The best ones,” Bennington

told ABC’s Money Matters, “you are gonna wanna purchase, and you’re gonna wanna display in your workplace.”

I presume Bennington is re-ferring to books like the one she just co-authored, but I may be way off base.

However, if I’m not off-base, I wholeheartedly agree.

However, you shouldn’t stop there. To really earn the re-spect of your co-workers and stand out as the best of the best,you should also display help-ful business columns like thisone.

To facilitate this, www.thed-aonline.com provides PDF ver-sions of the day’s publication. My smiling mug will look won-derful framed next to your “I saw Tony Robbins Live” certif-icate. Click and print.

Supplies: Color InkJet printer, paper, lack of self-worth

Tip: Due to a sweet copy-righting deal, re-use of my im-age is only available in 11 x 14 or greater. No cubicles, please.

BRANNAN LAHODAOPINION EDITOR

Apologizing for, or excusing racism is going too far

The “politically correct” reasoning used by Jordan Bonner in his guilt- ridden, apologetic editorial about “Gringo Masks,” is a great example of how people, who should be united in the fight for justice and freedom,

have become divided. These divisions are used by the

real power brokers, who have no racial, political or religious alle-giances, to “divide and conquer” populations.

Oh, the term “gringo” isn’t really rac-ist, according to Bonner, but the “N-word” is, “which is always derogatory.” That’s funny, because many young blacks seem to use the N-word as a term of endearment, and it has beenpopularized in recorded music for

years. It seems clear to me that it is

not the slur, but the intent of the use of the slur, and the hatred withwhich it is used that makes it derogatory.

Bonner’s position is that, “those that have traditional positions of power and privilege,” (“whites” in Bonner’s worldview) when subjected to racial slurs, “that don’t carry the same historical weight,” shouldn’t be concerned. Those concerns “amount

to so much whining.” I disagree. I was brought up to consider any

racial slur, emanating from the loath-ing and contempt of anyone towards anyone else, is not rational, desirable, or “politically correct.”

If Bonner is really that concerned about “supremacy,” “subjugation,” and “oppression,” he should probablynot apologize or excuse anyone’s hate based racist expressions.

It is a gross oversimplification to classify one expression as an “always

derogatory” racial slur, and another one as “simply a slang term.”

Why doesn’t he recognize racist dialogue, and the terms conservative and liberal for that matter, for what they are; a divide and conquer tactic for the true elitists.

Call me a “gringo,” but do it with love.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

There’s nothing like unwinding while soaking up the summer sun after spending a year getting too familiar with textbooks. Unfortu-nately, there’s nothing quite like the often horrendously long car journeys that are associated with vacations.

After a few cold snaps and a few tornado warnings, the summer weather is finally warming up for us all to complain about it again and wish we were elsewhere.

The beach is the most obvious choice for the West Virginia Uni-versity community, after spending a year in landlocked mountains. Another glamorous destination includes family reunions in areas with little-to-no cell phone recep-tion or access to the Internet.

Whether or not the end point is enjoyable is irrelevant, however, if you have a terrible journey on the way. I, myself, am currently writ-ing this on a trip to the nation’s capital to see Conan O’Brien. Thankfully, I am accompanied by friends, and the trip isn’t any-where close to a 17-hour journey to see family in Iowa.

The following are suggestions to help keep you sane while rid-ing in the car.

Satellite Radio Insist on this. Tell your family

you’re not setting foot in the car with only a limited selection of

decades-old CDs to listen to. As great as “Hotel California” is, you don’t want to hear it constantly, in the same car, for hours on end. Insist on satellite radio.

When the CDs have finally worn down their welcome, the only real alternative is to find the nearest, clearest station you can find. Typ-ically, it’s the same country music station that haunts you wherever you travel to.

Satellite radio offers more than a hundred music, news and com-edy choices for you. For me, it’s all about listening to BBC Radio 1, from England. The hosts aren’t gimmicky, the music is varied in genre and best of all, no country.

Load up with movies and reading material.

Get out those portable DVD players you once got for Christ-mas and haven’t used since un-wrapping them. It’s time to load up on dismissable entertainment you can relax, sit back and forget the world around you with.

Consider buying some cheap, somewhat older favorites com-monly lining the bottom of the $5 bins at Walmart. “Jumanji” is always entertaining, no matter what, even though it’s 15 years old. Seeing Robin Williams fight off computer-generated monkeys and lions is funny, period.

Get a laptop/cell phone adapter

Sending all those texts of de-spair to your friends uses up the power on your phone. Checking Facebook for any possible dis-traction can seriously drain your

battery, too. Even watching some DVDs can ruin your journey if you don’t have an in-car DVD player.

Consider getting an adapter for the car that allows you to plug in your laptop or cell phone for ex-tended use. Or consider getting an extra battery alternative. You love your family, you love your friends, but sometimes you need a break from them. Nothing is worse than not having another option with which to zone out from familial squabbles.

Sleep.Consider this – how long is your

journey? If you’re going for a long, cross-country jaunt to see distant relatives, chances are you’re going to be in the car for a long time.

Whenever traveling, I like to stay up the day before so I am completely unconscious the next day. This way, I can bypass the mundanity as much as possible.

As thrilling as staring at pass-ing foliage is, it gets tiring very quickly. When I’m passed out, I can completely enjoy a world that’s my own, free of “are we there yet?”

On some level, this may seem like a cruel list designed to iso-late you from your family. I assure you, it’s not. Traveling can be a te-dious experience, with tensions running high in the cramped space. By having things to en-tertain yourself, you can ensure friendly, enjoyable relations with your family throughout your vaca-tion or journey.

That, and survive the boredom of endless miles of highway.

How to survive those long summer drives

Morgantown teen pursues rap careerBY MACKENZIE MAYS

A&E EDITOR

While many students have become familiar with the re-mix of Jay-Z’s “Empire State of Mind,” titled “Morgantown State of Mind,” most are unfamiliar with the artist behind the track: 18-year-old Joey Michael, a re-cent graduate of Morgantown High School.

Michael goes by stage name Huey Mack and has been writ-ing music since he was 12. He recently released a mixtape ti-tled “Wish Me Luck” and worked with Rex Arrow Films to create his first music video for the song

“Just Me.”Citing a wide range of in-

fluences from Kanye West to Mat Kearney, Michael has been around music his entire life thanks to his father Eric McGuire, WVAQ morning show DJ.

However, Michael doesn’t view rapping as a career just yet but more as a part of his every-day life.

“It would be weird to say I bal-ance my teen life and my mu-sic career, because most of the things I do musically involve my everyday life whether I’m per-forming at a party or making music with my friends or for a

class,” Michael said. “I don’t really treat it like a

career yet, it’s more of ahobby that has taken me very far.”

Huey Mack’s free mix tape and music video can be found on his Facebook and MySpace pages.

Although most of Michael’s local success is due to thepopularity of “Morgantown State of Mind,” the song is not Michael’s original work, but it was actually written by WVU play-by-play voice Tony Caridi, according to Michael’s father McGuire.

McGuire said the song was

the brain child of Caridi and was published by his label“Great Day” records – deriv-ing from Caridi’s signature slo-gan, “It’s a great day to be amountaineer, wherever you may be.”

Although the song has been circulated to WVU fans all around the country, Michael said he did it as more of a fa-vor for his father’s radio station and doesn’t want listeners tojudge him solely on that one song.

“My music is a style of new age rap, but it has a different twist to it,” Michael said. “I sing in a lot of my songs, and I like to

switch things up.”Michael’s main goal is to hear

one of his own songs on thetop 40 on a major radio station one day, and, although he’s only 18, he feels he’s already learned a little about the mu-sic industry.

“The only advice I have to give to anyone aspiring to make music is to keep at it,” Michael said.

“It’s terrible getting your name out there, everybody has their own opinion about you, but things will work out in the long run.”

Indie rock band Sandra Black takes the stage at 123 Pleasant Street Friday for its fi rst local con-cert in over a year.

Th e band’s guitarist, vocalist and key board player Billy Zwie-ner describes his band’s unique sound as “rock and roll pretty much from the indie rock genre that blew up here (Morgantown) 10 years ago.”

While Sandra Black is infl u-enced by groups like the Violent Femmes, Velvet Underground, Smashing Pumpkins and Sonic Youth, its sound remains unique with songs based on “life situa-tions, like frustrations with social settings,” and lyrics focused on rhythmic combinations.

“(When writing songs, it is) me just sitting down with a pencil and pen and struggling over just kind of the rhythm of words,” Zwie-ner said. “If I don’t have an idea

specifi cally I’ll just try to make a stream of words that kind of sound good coming out, like pho-netic noises and stuff like that. It’s like I’m painting with just color – I don’t need a lot of form at fi rst.”

Sandra Black will perform along with Spouse at 8 p.m. Both bands have songs available on iTunes and will be selling albums during the concert.

Zwiener said the band’s live performances are solely based on the music and expects genu-ine music lovers to appreciate Fri-day’s show.

“It’s not too high energy; it’s more about the songs,” Zwie-ner said. “Th e energy is probably brought by the crowd. Th e crowd has really taken the albums we’ve released and just made them exciting.”

“Skinny Bitch” is a cynical, foul-mouthed read with only good intentions that could get you into your best bikini shape for this pool season.

Rory Freedman, a for-mer modeling agent, and KimBarnouin, a former model, have succeeded in producing abook that is equal parts en-tertainment and harsh facts about losing weight and advice on how to stop making excuses.

With a title like “Skinny Bitch,” it is expected the book be full of attitude. The language is just as sassy as the cover which holds a curvy, but skinny-figured woman in a little back dress and a lot of make-up.

The diet book is a strictly vegan diet that seems to be sub-liminally pushing animal rights while giving diet tips.

The tone of the book is harsh, but as the kind of honestyyou’d expect from a best friend.

You know it’s the truth, so you don’t get offended

by the blunt advice that mayotherwise have hurt your feelings.

The book is filled with those four-letter words that are sure to make readers either re-late to the book in a down-to-earth kind of way or stray awayfrom it because of its explicit content.

The first chapter, “Give It Up,” gets straight to the point telling readers they need to give up smoking, drinking, soda and junk food as well as many other unhealthy items.

“Let’s Eat” provides detailed meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner that will guide readers on the right track allowing them to see examples of the foods they should eat to get the results they want.

To conclude the book, Freed-man and Barnouin state the ti-tle “Skinny Bitch” was used to catch the eyes of young readers and they are in fact not harsh in real life.

The book’s conversational tone makes for an interesting and entertaining read – not sim-ply just dos and don’ts of dieting

BORN TODAY Finally, you connect with far more depth and caring than you have in the past. Others seem to be able to receive your message. Commu-nication fl ows with precision. Sometimes a vagueness with a concept or confusion over words could cause a problem. Refl ect rather than react. If you are sin-gle, you could meet someone who is emotionally unavailable. Don’t kid yourself about chang-ing this person! You could de-cide to continue dating. If you are attached, both of you benefi t from time spent away from the daily grind. Plan romantic get-aways together. TAURUS reads you cold.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) ★★★ Even if you are 90 percent sure, don’t take any risks fi nancially. There is an el-ement of deception and con-fusion running through funds. You will notice this infl uence in hindsight. Stay on the ap-pointed path for now. Have a discussion later in the day. To-night: Your treat.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) ★★★★ You might be sure of what you are doing, but others might not be. In this situation, there could be an enormous flub-up. Answer

questions willingly. Be aware that a boss, older relative or friend doesn’t communicate well at times. Tonight: Strut-ting your stuff .

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) ★★★★★ Suddenly you feel different. Mercury en-ters your sign, making you clear and more expressive than you have been in a long while. News from a distance isn’t as clear as you might like. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) ★★★ Through pulling away, you will gain a unique per-spective that normally isn’t available. Understanding in-creases as a result. You can verbalize a problem that you might not have been aware of previously. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) ★★★★ Assuming responsi-bility could be the fi rst step in putting yourself on overload. You might not want all the ex-tras! Think carefully when de-termining your limits. Don’t blindly dive in. If you’re hes-itant, wait. Tonight: Burning the candle at both ends.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) ★★★★ Keep reaching out for

more information. You seek clarity, yet you are surrounded by vagueness. Whether deal-ing with work, health or even a hobby, clarity might be hard to fi nd! Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Put on a fa-vorite piece of music.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) ★★★★ Work with individu-als rather than groups. If you are to completely grasp where someone is coming from, it is necessary to put yourself in his or her shoes. Don’t project your images or attitudes on a situation. Tonight: Listen well to what someone shares.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) ★★★★ You have diffi culty fi nding a comfortable niche, so much so that you consider going home early. By the af-ternoon, a conversation opens up a situation. Know that you have the necessary qualities to work on this issue with this person. Tonight: Say “yes” to an invitation.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) ★★★★ Solutions bubble up if you can relax. Note a ten-dency to go into your head during meetings, conversa-tions and nearly any other time. Your imagination is one of your many gifts. Tonight: Take a walk, go to a baseball

game or fi nd another relax-ing pastime.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) ★★★★★ Your ability to read between the lines draws quick results. Given some time and space, understand-ing grows to a new dimen-sion. Verify a money agree-ment in any way possible. Tonight: Let your imagina-tion rock and roll.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) ★★★★ Your ability to anchor in and maintain your priori-ties is more important than you realize. You have many ideas, but it is how you ex-press them that makes a dif-ference. You inspire a lot of people. Tonight: Don’t push too hard.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) ★★★★ Conversations fi nally make sense, and others are re-sponsive. You have tried very hard to connect with some-one, yet you have hit road-block after roadblock. Let go of your expectations and worry less about the situa-tion. It is likely to clear in the next few days. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

Restricted Internet access as AT&T caps data plans

BY DAVID RYANCOPY EDITOR

AT&T users may have to think twice about watching so many YouTube clips on their smart phones.

Last week, sandwiched between the launch of Apple’s iPad tablet computing device and Monday’s unveiling of the fourth generation iPhone, was the news the carrier would be eliminating its long-es-tablished unlimited data plan in fa-vor of two, “capped” alternatives.

Now, users can pay $15 for 200 megabytes of data a month (Dat-aPlus), or $25 for two gigabytes (DataPro).

Chris Bauer, network spokes-person for AT&T in northern West Virginia, said 2 percent of its total customers exceed two gigabytes of data per month.

Customers use data when they visit websites, receive e-mails and download music, movies and tele-vision shows.

“People are mobilizing their lives,” Bauer said, referencing the growth of smart phones and mo-bile use of the Internet. “People want to view websites, stream me-dia and music everywhere they live and work. It’s the future of the industry,” he said.

AT&T estimates two gigabytes roughly equals 10,000 e-mails without attachments; 1,500 e-mails with attachments; 4,000 Web pages, posting 500 photos to so-cial media sites and 200 minutes of streaming video.

Bauer said the company’s move to tiered data packages bene-fits the customers, adding “peo-ple can choose the data plan that best meets their needs and their budget.”

With devices like the iPhone and iPad allowing greater use of mobile video and online access, Jared Crawford, senior computer engineering major and developer of West Virginia University’s offi-cial app iWVU, said the new plans were “disappointing.”

“The revolution of watching vid-eos on the iPad or mobile devices is going to be slowed,” Crawford said. “This is not a good thing not just for the iPhone, but the mobile platform as a whole.”

During Monday’s Apple World-wide Developers Conference, DVD rental service Netflix announced a version of its Instant Watch soft-ware would be available to users in the summer.

Though no specific details are available on the amount of data typical file sizes from Netflix will use, technology blog Clicker.com estimated a single episode of a 22-minute show averaged 55 mega-bytes, more than 25 percent of the lowest offering from AT&T.

Crawford also cited the new tethering option, available to Dat-aPro customers for an additional $20 fee. Tethering allows the net-book to connect to the Internet through the phone.

“When you use your laptop, most of the time you don’t think about how much data you’re us-ing,” he said, citing programs that often run in the background and update, such as operating systems and even Twitter clients. “You start to think about it adding up.”

According to a company press release, three text messages will be sent notifying the user at dif-ferent stages of data consump-tion – 65 percent, 90 percent and 100 percent. Those who go over on the DataPro plan’s limit of 2GB can purchase an additonal giga-byte for $10.

Bauer said AT&T offers other ways to monitor usage too, in-cluding the AT&T wireless web-site, apps for various smart phones and by texting *DATA# from their phone.

Crawford, who owns an iPad, said he’s had to be careful with what he does on the device despite its capabilities.

“Even if I know I’m not fully us-ing my 250 megabytes on my iPad, I won’t watch a video online be-cause I don’t want it to be an is-sue,” he said. “I always err on the side of caution. It prevents me from fully utilizing the device. It’s really disappointing people won’t be able to use them without wor-rying about bandwidth.”

Criticism about the plan is too early, Bauer said, urging custom-ers to “wait and see” how much data they actually use over the average month before making a judgment. Bauer also noted the prevalence and proximity of Wi-Fi networks that smart phones can also use for data.

“Are we going to see custom-ers go over their limit? Time will tell,” he said, adding it is too early to consider changing the levels of data being offered.

Some AT&T users have noted dropped or failed calls in the area. Bauer said this can be attributed to different factors such as geogra-phy, proximity to tower and what kind of device a customer is us-ing. Bauer also said the 3G net-work experience in Morgantown should be improving, after the de-ployment of a new cell site in Star City. The high speed network went live in August 2009.

The company also plans to add around 30 new cell sites across the state, with upgrades to 20 addi-tional sites to 3G capability and improvements to 300 sites around the state.

Apple introduced its much publicized, highly expected fourth generation iP-hone Monday at its Worldwide Developers Conference.

Much of what has already been reported about the phone is true. Online technology blog Gizmodo famously obtained a prototype of the new phone, posting in-depth analysis of the phone online.

Among the features included are a rede-signed body, which Apple CEO Steve Jobs lav-ishly called “one of the most beautiful designs you’ve ever seen.” The phone now features two glass panels, one on the front the other on the back, a stainless steel border which serves as the various antennas and a second noise-canceling microphone to remove back-ground noise during calls. The phone is also available in black and white.

The phone also has an upgrade to its photo and video capturing capabilities, with a 5 megapixel camera that off ers full, 720p high-defi nition video. Users can also edit and upload videos from the phone itself with the company’s iMovie application, a scaled-down version of its video editing software for the Mac. The camera on the back has an LED fl ash bulb for night photography.

The phone also features a front-facing camera allowing for “FaceTime” conversation between iPhone 4s over wireless networks. Expanded capability of that feature will come in time with cell phone providers, Jobs said.

The new phone also has a 326 pixels per inch display, off ering print quality better than most magazines and newspapers. Conve-niently, the new iPhone also off ers iBooks, the iTunes store’s book off ering with Winnie The Pooh reported free with the software. Us-ers can read PDFs in iBooks, as well as high-light text, make notes and more that later ap-pear in the table of contents for use later.

Organizing cluttered app screens is also easier, with functionality much like a desk-top computer. Users can categorize apps into folder and are named either by genre or by custom title.

DVD rental service Netfl ix also appeared at the event, reporting an iPhone version of its Watch Instantly service will be avail-able in the summer – though its not sure how well this will work with the new, capped data plans.

The 16-gigabyte version will sell for $199 on upgrade or new AT&T customers, whereas the 32GB version will sell for $299. Preorders begin June 15 and the phone will be avail-able in stores June 24.

When I think of guitar virtuo-sos, I am tempted to imagine Al Di Meola, John McLaughlin or any performer possessing a shocking degree of technical fl uidity and broad harmonic and stylistic pal-ette from which they play.

Another factor could be found in a virtuoso’s originality.

Michael Hedges, for example,

probably couldn’t shred his way around any corn-ball shredder of the ’80s but brought something new to the music world via his hands and guitar.

Kaki King, often lionized as a guitar virtuoso, falls into this lat-ter category.

Haphazardly deciding to leave the tapping, open string trills and using-my-guitar-as-a-percus-sion-instrument and other gui-tar techniques in the dust a few albums ago, King focuses more on her songs on her most recent eff ort “Junior.”

Sounding at times like Tuck Andress or all-girl indie trio Sleat-er-Kinney, King seems to draw in-fl uences from post-hardcore acts on her new album, particularly apparent on the album’s opener, “Th e Betrayer.”

A self-aware track about the guilt a break-up can produce, the track evokes the eff ect and sound of a quality emo band’s lo-fi fresh-ness and focused angst (song-a-logue and all) but polished in the studio to sound like the newest King record.

King takes the aggressiveness of “Th e Betrayer” even further on “Death Head,” a song immedi-ately beginning with a distorted riff reminiscent of ’90s indie acts Sebadoh and Swervedriver.

Although there is no tapping or visually impressive guitar work here, King manages to play su-premely intricate passages (“Spit it Back in My Mouth”) while main-taining her signature vocal lines; a feat easily managed by other mu-sicians, but when the guitar parts are as complex as King’s, this be-

comes virtuosic, even for those with fi rst-rate motor skills.

Unlike past albums, the gui-tar parts on “Junior” are mostly all played on King’s electric gui-tar, and on some tracks (“Halluci-nations from My Poisonous Ger-man Streets”) are set-off by King’s pedal steel guitar.

Similar to past releases, there are a handful of brief instrumen-tal tracks on here and the piano is used sparingly, and eff ectively, during a twain of the tracks on “Junior.”

King’s vocal range is limited to that of a lower alto. But she isn’t in the business to establish herself as a groundbreaking vocalist.

Her songs portray her as a sen-sitive and charmingly pessimistic songwriter, resourceful in all of her musical abilities, principally guitar.

Who else could describe an air conditioner or garbage bag with great ease and fl oridity?

Th e 2010 MTV Movie Awards was full of performances, awards and a whole lot of dubbing Sun-day night.

Aziz Ansari hosted the show, keeping the audience laughingand the censors busy while per-forming in skits and interactingwith the crowd to keep the night alive.

Ansari currently stars in the NBC comedy “Parks and Recreation.”

Vulgarity and spontaneity are expected year after year at the ceremony.

But “Th e Twilight Saga” is well on its way to also becoming a staple of the awards show – taking home a total of five awards for “New Moon.”

It was reminiscent of last year’s award show, with Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson taking home yet another award for Best Kiss as well as “New Moon” receiving the award for Best Movie.

“I guess ‘Twilight’ is really awe-some, and I agree,” Stewart said at the ceremony, “woo.”

Th ough “New Moon” dominated much of the event, “Th e Hangover” followed closely.

Unlike most of this year’s awards shows, “Avatar” went home without winning a single popcorn trophy.

Th e award presentations were accompanied by performances by artists like Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry and Christina Aguilera, as well as comedic acts by Ken Jeong and Ed Helms and Tom Cruise as Les Grossman.

Jennifer Lopez and Ludacris

teamed up with Tom Cruise as Les Gorssman in a well-choreographed performance in which Cruise im-pressed the audience with his dance moves.

Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg per-formed Perry’s latest single “Cali-fornia Girls” in the most colorful performance of the night.

Perry wore a bright blue wig as the back-up dancers wore shorts and bikini tops liv-ing up to the songs lyrics inCalifornia Barbie-like style.

Christina Aguilera performed a mash up of three songs off her new-est album “Bionic Woman.”

Th e sassy performer lived up to her well-known killer vocals as well as her adventurous stage presence.

Aguilera proved she would not go outdone, performing pantsless and donning only light-up heart panties.

Acceptance speeches had the most laughs and cries of the night the most moving speeches coming from Ken Jeong, as he accepted his

“Best WTF Moment” award, speak-ing of his wife’s battle with breast cancer.

“She taught me that life is short, and you shouldn’t be afraid to take chances,” he said.

Sandra Bullock was awarded this year’s Generation Award, presented by Betty White, Bradley Cooper and Scarlett Johansson.

Bullock poked fun at her con-troversy in the spotlight since her split with cheating husband, Jesse James.

She also took time to shock viewers with her lip-lock with Johansson.

“Now that we have done that,” Bullock said after the kiss, “can we please go back to normal?”

Th ough the award show can be a bit repetitive at times, MTV lived up to it’s reputation for awarding the most humorous awards of any award show and throwing in a few surprised and shocks for the audience.

There were plenty of memo-rable moments in 2008’s “For-getting Sarah Marshall,” but the most memorable was British co-median Russell Brand.

When I first heard that “Sarah Marshall” director Nicholas Stoller was going to team up with Brand to do a spin-off, I was pretty excited.

I’m happy to say that, when it comes down to it, this film ful-filled my expectations.

The movie tells the story of Snow, who, after a critically dis-dained album, has fallen off the wagon he was on in the first movie and is looking to get back into the spotlight and get back his ex-wife.

His redemption comes in the form of Aaron Green (Jonah Hill), who is sent by his boss Sergio Roma (Sean “Diddy” Combs) to get him to Los Ange-les in three days so he can per-form an anniversary show at the Greek Theatre.

The two go on wacky adven-tures in bars, “The Today Show” and Las Vegas in a alcohol and

drug-fueled bender, all with Green trying to make it back in time.

Brand, whose character can understandably get old be-fore the movie is over, is able to stretch his acting chops enough to keep the character interesting and funny.

Hill is playing more or less the same character he plays in ev-ery film, a chubby guy who gets pushed around a lot but even-tually finds the cojones to stand up for what he believes in, but that was exactly what the movie called for.

Hill was also in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” as a different character who stalked Snow, but this film sadly has no reference to it.

The best performance in the movie comes from Combs as the eccentric Roma, who spouts some ridiculous and hilarious lines that will give the audience most of its laughs.

It was as if Stoller cast Combs only so he could have Diddy say all of these absurd things, and part of me hopes that.

Another great performance comes from Colm Meany, known for his work on various “Star Trek” TV shows, as Aldous’ dad Jonathan, an old man who

switches between wanting to be a part of his son’s life to control-ling it completely.

The movie also features some great cameos, be it Tom Fel-ton as he hangs out in a night club or Pharrell on the set of the fictitious music video, “I’m Gangster.”

It also has a quick appearance from Kristen Bell as her charac-ter Sarah Marshall.

The only cameo missing is Ja-son Segel as Peter Bretter, but its an understandable one, as he already had his film.

Still, him showing up for only one scene would’ve added to the link between the two films.

There were a few lackluster points though.

At some points, you just want Snow to grow up and accept he made some mistakes, and, while there are moments that it seems like that is about to happen, he later shows himself to still be an egomaniacal jerk.

In fact, the entire sub-plot about his ex-wife could have been trimmed down quite a bit, and the Lars Ulrich cameo it features could’ve been removed as well.

Plus, it doesn’t add anything really new to the Judd Apatow formula, featuring sex jokes and

crass humor all over the place, like so many other films he has produced.

Except for the musical num-bers, those were both neat and

catchy, and something the whole audience can enjoy.

So, while there isn’t anything remarkable about this movie, it is still one of the funnier ones

currently in the theatre.

APTom Cruise, left, and Jennifer Lopez perform at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lind-say Lohan’s alcohol monitoring bracelet went off after the actress appeared at Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards, a source familiar with her probation said Tuesday.

Th e alert could result in an-other appearance by Lohan before a judge whose patience has worn thin with the actress for repeated missteps during her probation.

It remained unclear why the bracelet went off . Th e source, who was not authorized to speak pub-licly, told Th e Associated Press that Los Angeles Superior Court Marsha Revel would receive a re-port on the alert soon.

Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chap-man Holley, said she is looking into whether a violation may have occurred. Th e bracelet is designed to test the skin for alcohol every

half hour by sampling a person’s perspiration.

Lohan has been required to wear an alcohol monitor since May 24, when she appeared before Revel days after missing a court hearing. Th e “Mean Girls” star is due back in court on July 6 when the judge will decide whether Lo-han, 23, violated her probation be-cause of her missed appearance.

A violation could result in Lo-han being sent to jail.

Revel refused to ease Lohan’s drug and alcohol testing restric-tions at the May hearing and or-dered the starlet to wear the alco-hol monitor.

Deputy District Attorney Da-nette Meyers, who is handling Lo-han’s case, said she was aware of “an issue” that would come to the court’s attention, but did not have

further details.Lohan appeared at the MTV

awards show on Sunday. She also attended at least one of the show’s after-parties.

She covered up the ankle mon-itor on the show’s red carpet by wearing long pants.

Th e actress has been on proba-tion since August 2007 after plead-ing guilty to misdemeanor drug charges and no contest to three driving charges.

Despite spending 84 minutes in jail and performing mandatory service at the county morgue, Lo-han has repeatedly struggled with the terms of her sentence. In Oc-tober, a judge extended her pro-bation for another year but Mey-ers warned the actress she was facing jail time if she violated her probation.

A future conference

Armageddon?It’s fi nally here: Armageddon.No, not Dec. 21, 2012, the day

many predict as the end of the world, as it’s the date the Mayan calendar ends.

Th e beginning of the end for some of the second-tier confer-ences in NCAA Division I-A sports has started, and the creation of su-per conferences has begun.

When the Big 12 Conference imposed its Friday deadline on Nebraska and Missouri to declare their intentions as to whether they will leave for another conference, it set in motion a series of events that could forever change the landscape of college sports.

Th e Pac-10 Conference is also doing its part to upset the confer-ence teeter-totter.

Reports Sunday stated all Pac-10 university presidents and chan-cellors gave conference commis-sioner Larry Scott the go-ahead to expand. Schools like Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Colorado could be making the jump from the Big 12 to the Pac-10.

It’s a lot to follow, I know. But, this is only the beginning.

Should this scenario play out, all hell will break loose.

Th e Big 12 will be left riddled with holes and would have to completely regroup or disban entirely, leaving the SEC, ACC, Big Ten and the aforementioned Pac-10. Oh yea, and the Big East Conference, too.

Gyorko selected by PadresBY MATTHEW PEASLEE

Disappointment morphed into excitement as former West Virginia shortstop Jedd Gyorko had to wait a day to discover his professional baseball fate.

Projected as a fi rst or supple-mentary fi rst-round draft pick, Gyorko did not hear his name called Monday night. Instead, he had to wait until the second

round Tuesday afternoon, where the San Diego Padres nabbed the Morgantown native with the 59th pick in the 2010 MLB Draft.

“It’s a really exciting mo-ment,” Gyorko said. “I really am living out the dream every little kid has of being a professional ballplayer.”

Some national publications tabbed Gyorko as a shoo-in for the fi rst round.

Nybaseballdigest.com be-lieved the New York Yankees were high on him with the 32nd pick. Jonathon Mayo of MLB.com originally had him going No. 24 to the San Francisco Gi-ants on Monday, but modifi ed that projection the day of the draft and left Gyorko out of the fi rst round.

“I was a little disappointed, but I understand it,” Gyorko said. “It is a business they are

running, and teams just have to get what works best for them. You just never really know what’s going to happen.”

Gyorko said nearly all 30 ma-jor league teams made contact with him sometime during his collegiate career. He was not to-tally surprised that the Padres were the ones to reel him in.

During the 2006 World Cup, more than 715 million peo-ple watched the final between eventual champion Italy and loser France. Also, more than 3.3 million people saw the matches live in Germany.

West Virginia men’s head soc-cer coach Marlon LeBlanc was among those who saw the 2006 World Cup in person. He took in the events just months before being named the Mountaineers’ head coach in August.

“It’s the biggest event on the planet without a doubt,” LeB-lanc said. “There is nothing like a World Cup, especially one in Europe.”

LeBlanc saw the opening cer-emony and the first game. He also watched the first two U.S. games in person, as well.

“It was great, great experi-ence,” LeBlanc said.

The Mountaineers’ fifth-year head coach said the World Cup does not compare to other sporting events like the Olym-pics and the Super Bowl.

“Though the Super Bowl has

massive appeal and is watched by a lot of people, it really only hits the hearts of two cities, whereas the World Cup is truly watched around the globe,” LeB-lanc said.

“Most of the Olympics are amateur sports, but the World Cup is soccer stars from around the world representing their country.”

As for this year’s World Cup held in South Africa, LeBlanc thinks Spain will win it all.

“They play the best foot-ball inside right now,” LeBlanc said. “The big question mark for them is whether or not they are healthy.”

He believes Brazil and Argen-tina will also be in the thick of things.

Along with picking his favor-ites, LeBlanc also forecasted what he expects to see from the U.S., starting with its much-hyped opening matchup against England Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

on ESPN.“England is loaded top to bot-

tom with some of the biggest soccer stars in the world,” LeB-lanc said. “Our team is definitely capable of winning that game, because we have players playing around the world in the highest levels of the game.

“The question is whether the U.S. can sustain it for 90minutes in order to grind out a result.”

After their match with Eng-land, LeBlanc expects a tough road to the elimination rounds. But he said there is a chance the U.S. could find themselves in a crucial match late in the World Cup.

“They have a difficult task at hand,” LeBlanc said. “A lot of people, whenever the group was announced, said ‘if the U.S. doesn’t make it out of this group, then it’s a failure.’ It is more difficult than it seems. If we do get out of this group there is a perfect storm of injuries go-ing on, and then we could find ourselves in a big-time elimina-tion matchup.”

5 athletes prepare for NCAA Championships

Th e West Virginia track and fi eld team has had a long sea-son. In fact, it’s been so long that it could be split up into three seasons.

For the distance runners, it will be the third NCAA Cham-pionship meet of the year. First, they had a complete cross coun-try season followed by a grueling indoor track season. Th e season cultimates with the NCAA Out-door Track and Field Champi-onships this week in Eugene, Ore.

Senior Clara Grandt will rep-resent the Mountaineers in the 10,000-meter event. Junior Kate-lyn Williams will be the fi rst West Virginia high jumper to advance to NCAA Championships since 1990. Seniors Keri Bland, Karly Hamric and Marie-Louise As-selin will compete in the 1,500-meter event, as well.

“As a team, we are in a very good place heading West,” said

WVU head coach Sean Cleary. “We have a very experienced and mature group going to Eu-gene. Th is should pay off .”

Bland is the only WVU three-sport all-American during a sin-gle school year, a feat she cap-tured in 2007-08. The senior will have the opportunity to end her storied Mountaineer career with another three all-American honors in one year. Asselin and Grandt will try to accomplish the same feat for their fi rst time.

Cleary, who is the head coach of the cross country team in the fall for WVU, sees the opportu-nity to fi nish off one of the most special seasons in West Virginia history.

“In the fall, this groupfi nished sixth in the Nationals, the winter saw them get 10th at

WVU FOOTBALL OPPONENT PREVIEWS: LSU

Tigers hope to end streak of disappointing fi nishes with strong 2010 season under Miles

BY BRIAN GAWTHROP SPORTS WRITER

Following three-straight sea-sons of at least 11 wins includ-ing winning the 2007 National Championship, LSU and head coach Les Miles appeared to be a lock for a top 10 ranking and double-digit win seasons for years to come.

Two years later, however, the Tigers are coming off two un-derachieving seasons in which they won just eight games in 2008 and nine last season.

The SEC powerhouse is ap-proaching the 2010 season as an opportunity to get back to na-tional dominance. It’s not going to be easy, though, as LSU kicks off its season against North Car-olina and then enters its league schedule with contests against Vanderbilt and Mississippi State.

West Virginia will meet the Tigers Sept. 25 in both teams’ fourth game of the year.

While the Mountaineer of-fense is filled with plenty of potential playmakers, LSU is currently in search of a stand-out offensive weapon after los-ing running back Charles Scott who led the team with 542 yards rushing and four touchdowns last season.

One of the Tigers’ lone re-turning playmakers from the 2009 season is quarterback Jor-dan Jefferson, who completed 61.5 percent of his pass attempts as a sophomore.

Jefferson won’t have his fa-vorite target, however, after re-ceiver Brandon LaFell was se-lected in the third round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. The loss of the second-team All-SEC selection is espe-cially troublesome for Miles, as LaFell was one of the team’s only offensive threats on one of the nation’s worst offenses.

The Tigers ended the 2009 season 112th nationally in total offense, but thanks to one of the nation’s best defensive units, LSU still managed a 9-4 season and a second-place finish in the SEC West. The Tigers finished 17th in the final polls despite a 19-17 loss to Penn State in the Capital One Bowl.

The favorite to replace Scott at tailback is sophomore Rich-ard Murphy, who missed most of the 2009 season after suffer-ing a knee injury, and junior Ste-van Ridley, who rushed for 109 yards and a score in the team’s spring game.

“I like what’s going on on that side of the ball,” Miles said of the offense. “We’re better than we’ve been.”

Wide receiver Terrence To-liver, at 6-foot-5, will likely be the Tigers’ go-to target this sea-son after hauling in 53 catches for 735 yards and three scores last season. Former quarterback Russell Shepard will once again serve in a do-it-all role for Miles after seeing time under center, at running back and receiver as a freshman in 2009.

His role is even expected to be increased after the hiring of new receivers coach and pass-ing game coordinator Billy Gon-zales, who worked with former Florida standout Percy Harvin.

The Tigers return three of five offensive linemen includ-ing guards Josh Dqoraczyk and Joe Barksdale and center T-Bob Hebert. Hebert, however, is

Two more preseason maga-zines believe West Virginia is a preseason top 25 team. That makes the Mountaineers a top 25 choice in three of the top four preseason annuals.

Lindy’s Sports believes the Mountaineers are the 19th-best team, easily the highest of all magazines. Phil Steele also ranks WVU at No. 22 – the high-est of all Big East Conference teams.

Here’s a closer look at what both magazines expect for West Virginia this season:

Lindy’s SportsThe magazine expects the

Mountaineers to finish second in the Big East behind Pitt, who it ranks at the 14th-best team in the country.

West Virginia running back Noel Devine is on the Heisman Trophy watch list, though the magazine believes Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor will win the award. Lindy’s also pre-dicts Devine to be the 30th-best draft-eligible player and the third-best from the Big East. He was also rated as the fourth-best running back in the coun-try behind Mark Ingram from Alabama, Dion Lewis from Pitts-burgh and Jaquizz Rodgers from Oregon State.

In addition, Devine was named a second-team all-Amer-ican. He was the lone West Vir-ginia player on the two all-Amer-ican teams. He was also on the first-team all-Big East team.

Also on the first-team all-Big East team were wide re-ceiver Jock Sanders as an all-purpose player and kicker Tyler Bitancurt.

Outside linebacker J.T. Thomas is considered the 12th-best outside linebacker in the nation. Safety Robert Sands is the eighth-best safety, as well. Both Sands were on the first-team all-Big East team.

Behind Sands, Lindy’s expects the Mountaineers’ secondary to be one of the best in the nation. The magazine ranks it as the No. 5 group in the country behind Texas, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Nose tackle Chris Neild and cornerback Brandon Hogan also made first-team all-Big East. Ho-gan was named the best cover corner in the Big East.

On the second all-Big East team were wide receiver Tavon Austin as all-purpose player, de-fensive tackle Scooter Berry and defensive end Julian Miller.

West Virginia plays five games to watch this season, including contests against LSU, Connecti-cut, Cincinnati and Rutgers.

The Mountaineers’ recruit-ing class was highly touted by Lindy’s.

The magazine expects of-fensive lineman Quinton Spain to be the best pro prospect in the Big East from this class, re-ceiver Ivan McCartney is the conference’s newcomer of the year. WVU’s coaching staff was named the best recruiters in the Big East, as well.

Phil SteeleThe magazine selects West

Virginia and Pitt to tie for first in the Big East, but the Panthers grabbing the BCS bowl slot with a head-to-head win over the Mountaineers. WVU would then play in the Meineke Car Care Bowl against Clemson, accord-ing to Steele.

The Mountaineers are also a team that will surprise, accord-ing to the magazine.

Devine was named a fourth-team all-American and the sev-enth-best in the country.

Sanders was named the 20th-best punt returner and 21st-best receiver. Joe Madsen was named the 44th-best center, Josh Jen-

kins and Eric Jobe were named the 38rd-best and 42nd-best guard.

Sands was named a second-team all-American. He is the fourth-best free safety.

Miller was named the 44th-best defensive end. Neild and Berry were the 33rd-best and 38th-best defensive tackles. Thomas was the 25th-best out-side linebacker and fellow line-backer Pat Lazear was named the 40th-best at the outside spot. Hogan was the 22nd-best cor-nerback and fellow starter Keith Tandy was the 67th-best at the position, as well.

Top individual rankings for WVU include running backs at No. 14, defensive line at No. 14, linebackers at No. 30 and defen-sive backs at No. 25.

First-team Big East members include Devine, Neild, Thomas, Hogan, Sands, Bitancurt and Sanders (at returner).

Second-team members are Sanders (at receiver), Jenkins, fellow offensive lineman Don Barclay, Miller and Lazear.

Third-team members are re-ceiver Bradley Starks, Jobe, Berry, Tandy and receiver and kick returner Tavon Austin.

Fourth-team members are offensive lineman Joe Madsen, safety Sidney Glover and punter Corey Smith.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio (AP) — LeBron James can pick his next team. If it’s the Cleveland Cava-liers, he won’t be selecting their coach.

Th at was the powerful mes-sage from Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert, who refused to comment Tuesday on reports he has off ered a massive contract to Michigan State’s Tom Izzo and adamantly denied that James, the two-time MVP now on free agency’s door-step, has been running Cleve-land’s franchise.

Gilbert added that James will not be consulted during the team’s coaching search.

Speaking at a news conference at Cleveland Clinic Courts to in-troduce new general manager Chris Grant, Gilbert refuted re-ports that James has had input on past hires and trades, the fi r-ing of coach Mike Brown and GM Danny Ferry’s recent departure.

“The concept that LeBron James has been involved in any way, shape or form with fi ring our head coach, involved in the transition to general manager Chris Grant and will be involved in future coaching decisions and hires is totally, 100 percent and patently false,” Gilbert said. “It’s unfair to him. It’s unfair to the franchise.

“He is a basketball player and a great one and his interests are aligned with our interests, but this concept that this franchise has been handed to a player who is running it and making the de-cisions is just completely and to-tally false. He’ll tell you that and Chris will tell you that and I’ll tell you that. Th e truth is the truth.”

Grant confirmed the club has had contact with Izzo and “a number” of other coaching candidates but would not pro-vide any details. Th e team is be-lieved to have contacted former New Orleans coach Byron Scott and Milwaukee assistant Kelvin Sampson.

Grant said there is no timeta-ble to hire a new coach.

“I want to fi nd the right guy, and I want to fi nd the right fi t,” said Grant, promoted after Ferry resigned last Friday, ending a wildly successful fi ve-year run. “Th at could be in a week and

that could be in a month and a half. We’re going to make the de-cisions based on who that right person is and the best fi t for our team.”

As for Izzo, Gilbert and Grant did all they could to sidestep re-peated questions about their in-terest in the Spartans coach, who has been approached by NBA teams in the past – but perhaps not this tenaciously.

“At the appropriate time, we’ll have an announcement,” Grant said, “and we’ll have the next guy that’s going to lead us out there on the court.”

A person familiar with Cleve-land’s pursuit of Izzo told Th e As-sociated Press on Tuesday that Gilbert, a Michigan State grad-uate, and the coach have dis-cussed terms of a possible con-tract that would pay Izzo up to $6 million a year for four or fi ve sea-sons. Use of one of Gilbert’s jets has not been discussed.

Th e person spoke on condi-tion of anonymity because the discussions were supposed to be confi dential.

Th e (Cleveland) Plain Dealer fi rst reported Monday that Gil-bert and Izzo talked about the framework of a long-term deal, worth about $6 million a season for up to fi ve years. Izzo makes more than $3 million a season and is under contract through 2016.

Th e Cavaliers fi red Brown less than two weeks following their second-round loss to the Boston Celtics. Brown, named the NBA’s coach of the year in 2009, led the Cavs to 127 regular-season wins the past two seasons but couldn’t get James and the team back to the NBA fi nals.

Brown’s fi ring was quickly fol-lowed by Ferry’s decision not to return. Th e upheaval has given the impression the Cavs are in chaos just as James enters free agency. Gilbert, though, said all the decisions were based on his desire to bring a championship to Cleveland, and that while the moves may be risky, they were not done without deep consid-eration and analysis.

“If you took the other ap-proach that you do nothing and nothing happened, I think the

criticism would be just as loud,” Gilbert said. “It was our view that the benefi t outweighed the risk of making some signifi cant changes here to get us over the hump and get us to where we need to be.

“Th is is not about franchise value. Th is is not about the pay-roll we spent or didn’t spend. Th is is driven solely on the mo-tivational factor of delivering a championship to this city. Pe-riod. We believe this is LeBron’s goal, it’s Chris Grant’s goal, it’ll be our head coach’s goal. We’re just going to keep going until we get there.”

Grant said the team intends to stay in close contact with James, but would not reveal specifi cs about plans to land the super-star or any free agents.

While not revealing potential coaching names, Grant said the uncertainty of James’ future with Cleveland has not been viewed negatively by candidates. He said the lure of coaching one of the league’s top franchises – with or without James – is enticing.

“People look at this organi-zation and have seen what it’s done over the last fi ve years and they’re really impressed,” he said. “Th ey see games on TV, they see what the business side has done, they see the sellouts. People look at this and say, ‘Wow, it’s a de-sirable place and I’d like to be there.’”

Izzo has had little to say about

the Cavs’ courtship. During a ra-dio interview on Monday night, he described some of the reports as “far-fetched.”

“I’m the Michigan State coach, and that’s what I’m going to do right now,” he said. “Who knows what the future brings? But it sure isn’t at all like it’s maybe be-ing speculated.”

According to the latest version of Izzo’s deal, he has to pay the school $500,000 within 30 days of terminating his employment if he takes another job.

A message was left Tuesday by the AP for Izzo, who led the Spar-tans to the Final Four this year for the sixth time in 12 seasons.

Lindy’s Sports, Phil Steele predict WVU will be a top 25 team in 2010

BY BRAD JOYALSPORTS WRITER

Katelyn Williams has literally jumped to the next level this season.

Th e West Virginia junior track and fi eld high jumper decided to make the leap from an average to an elite athlete in 2010.

To make the step to the next level, Williams trained and com-peted in the multi-event this season. Th e strenuous training for the seven-event competition helped her become a better high jumper.

“Katelyn is a very talented athlete who has always had a very good work ethic,” said WVU head coach Sean Cleary. “Th e diff erence with her consistency this year was that she was tired of being an average athlete. She knew she was better and made the decision to make the jump to the next level.”

Williams’ hard work paid div-idends, eventually landing her a spot at this week’s NCAA Out-door Track and Field Champi-onships in Eugene, Ore. She is the fi rst high jumper from WVU to qualify for Nationals since Alethea Moody in 1990.

Williams’ qualifi cation came on a miserable 100-degree day at the NCAA East Regional in Greensboro, N.C., the same place she made her best jump of the year only two weeks prior, clearing 5-foot-10.

Cleary said Williams will have to become acclimated to the colder weather conditions in Eugene.

“Should she walk into the sta-dium and not let the cooler tem-peratures impact her negatively and be able to jump one more height, she has the opportunity to return to Morgantown an all-American,” Cleary said. “Th is is our ultimate girl for her, to go in without the pressure of the fa-vorites and return home very happy.”

Expect Williams to be pre-pared for the challenge, too. Cleary said Williams’ relation-ship with her personal coach Shelly Gallimore has only ele-vated Williams’ performances.

“Th eir relationship has blos-somed into a relationship where Katelyn can now let go of certain instincts within competition that have prevented her from excel-ling to her potential in the past,” Cleary said. “Now relaxing with Shelly’s instruction and execut-ing what needs to be done. Th ey make a great pair.”

Williams’ biggest strength is also one of her biggest weak-nesses, though, according to Cleary. He said Williams often thinks more like a coach rather than an athlete.

“Her mind wants to break problems down and fi x them,” Cleary said.

[email protected]

Williams prepared to fi nish off career with championship

The West Virginia football team be-gan seven-on-seven drills Tuesday.

“I’m excited. It’s been a month or two months that we’ve done anything on the fi eld,” said sophomore corner-back Pat Miller. “Today we get to see the younger players and see how they are going to be and see how we are going to be as a team and who has put in the work.”

Starting and senior wide receiver Jock Sanders said this year’s summer workouts have had a diff erent tone to them from last year. The team is tak-ing the practice time a little more seriously.

“We have to play real hard instead of messing around with each other. I think that was one of our weaknesses last year,” Sanders said. “We went out there and played each and every day and we didn’t go out there with a mindset that we are trying to get bet-ter. That is our goal this summer – each of us on the same mode.”

Earlier this week, the remaining freshmen showed up on campus for summer workouts. Those players in-clude quarterback Jeremy Johnson and wide receiver Ivan McCartney.

“Most of the younger guys, be-lieve it or not, are working really hard,” Sanders said. “You wouldn’t even think they were freshmen, you would think they had a year or two in the program.”

With Johnson on campus, the Mountaineers two true freshmen quarterbacks – the other being Barry Brunetti – will begin the charge for the starting position and unseat pro-jected starter Geno Smith.

“Geno is working hard in the weight room, too,” said wide receiver Tavon Austin. “Geno is doing good.”

Sanders said when the team was running the Law School hill earlier this summer, Smith was working through pain in the foot he broke prior to spring practice. Still, Austin said Smith is working through the pain.

West Virginia off ensive line coach Dave Johnson said Jeff Braun is the leader to fi ll the right tackle position vacated by Selvish Capers.

“He’s never been there before,” Johnson said. “So that was his empha-sis in the spring.

“He did well, but I’m anxious to see how he develops this summer.”

West Virginia fullback Ryan Clarke said strength and conditioning coach Mike Joseph has put together the toughest off season plan since he has been in the program.

“The strength and conditioning staff just turned everything up from the runs to the length of the runs, how much we lift,” he said.

the indoors national meet and now outdoors we are looking to keep the group at the national level,” Cleary said.

Hamric has been one of the big-gest surprises this season. Coming off a Big East Conference champi-onship, Cleary said her confi dence is riding at an all-time high. Bland

and Hamric now sit second and third, respectively, on the WVU all-time 1,500-meter list behind NCAA champion and Olympic fi -nalist Megan Metcalfe.

“It’s a tribute to both Karly and Keri that they are now potential na-tional team members after running 5:20 miles in high school,” Cleary said. “Th ey have worked so hard and deserve all their successes.”

Grandt fi nished fourth last sea-son at outdoor championships.

Th is year, she has hopes of placing even higher.

After placing second in the in-door championships, Asselin is looking to make a big splash in her last meet at WVU.

“After winning both the Big East and NCAA semifinal, Marie is poised to run the best race of her life on Friday,” Cleary said. “She is fi t, confi dent and ready to go.”

currently suspended from the team following his arrest April 30. Hebert started 11 games at center for the Tigers in 2010, but after suffering a broken bone in his lower leg during spring foot-ball, will be challenged by soph-omore Patrick Lonergan for the starting spot.

The defensive side will once again carry the Tigers, how-ever, despite only returning four starters from last year’s top 10 squad. Linebacker Kelvin Shep-pard returns to lead the unit one season off of his 103-tackle season. Sheppard recorded at least seven tackles in all but two games last season and had 13 tackles in three-consecutive games.

Safety Brandon Taylor and cornerback Patrick Peterson return to lead the secondary, which finished 29th nationally in pass defense last season.

The defensive line lost three starters, but the unit may be the strongest aspect of the team. The Tigers return senior La-zarius Levingston at defensive end while the team’s top-10 re-cruiting class is highlighted by J.R. Ferguson and Jordan Allen.

West Virginia will have to play at one of the most feared places in the nation – 92,400-seat Ti-ger Stadium.

This year, however, the sixth-

largest stadium in the coun-try will be even more unique as it will become only the third school in the country to sport an odd-colored field turf. “Ti-ger Turf ” – purple field turf similar to Boise State’s popular blue turf – is currently being in-stalled in Death Valley and will be unveiled in the team’s home opener against Mississippi State Sept. 18.

“The installation of the pur-ple field turf will add to the ex-citement of a Saturday night in Tiger Stadium,” Miles said.

somewhat of a gateway for the San Diego organization. Last year, former second baseman Vince Belnome was selected by the Padres in the 28th round while former fi rst baseman Joe Agreste was signed by the team as a free agent

“We’ve been sending text mes-sages back and forth,” Gyorko said. “They’re good guys who want to see me succeed with them, and maybe we’ll meet up sometime out there.”

Gyorko is ecstatic to begin his career as a professional ball-player, although he is most likely headed to a Rookie or Low-A league.

“I’m hoping to get the whole process started within the week,” he said. “I’ve been sitting down

with my adviser and we are see-ing what is best.”

Gyorko will leave WVU a year early as one of the most deco-rated players to don the Old Gold and Blue.

Once the Big East Rookie of the year, Gyorko is the only Moun-taineer ballplayer to be named an all-American in more than one year. He is a two-time nomi-nee for the Brooks Wallace award and has a chance to pick up the honor again this year.

He is the only Mountaineer to fi nish his career with a batting average above .400 (.404). He is also the career leader in doubles (73), extra base-hits (113) and is tied for the top spot in home runs (35).

WVU head coach Greg Van Zant has seen Gyorko blossom over his career and looks for-ward to great things in the near future.

“He may be the most talented player I have ever coached,” Van Zant said. “It has been a plea-sure to coach him these last three years.”

Gyorko said Van Zant has been “real supportive and ready to see me succeed at the next level. He really helped me get to this point.”

As Gyokro enters a life fi lled with newfound pressure and riches, he will always look back on his time as at West Virginia with fondness.

In fact, it’s actually one of his biggest concerns.

“It will be (weird) when I look up in the stands and don’t see any family or friends,” he said. “It will be tough for them to make it to games wherever I am.

“And it will be tough on me, too.”

the Big Ten, ACC and SEC would devour teams like Rutgers, Pitts-burgh, Cincinnati and West Vir-ginia in a heartbeat.

West Virginia, in this scenario, could accept a bid to the ACC be-cause of the similar academic stan-dards it maintains to other ACC schools as well as its proximity.

Yes, WVU to the SEC has a nice ring to it, but WVU just is not an SEC-caliber school.

Another team that is a lynch pin in this entire process is Notre Dame.

Th e Fighting Irish, which has its own television deal with NBC, could essentially control the en-

tire scenario because of its loca-tion in the middle of the coun-try, its superb academics and its brand value.

Just think what adding Notre Dame to any conference could do for its overall value.

Unfortunately, with expansion teams like Boise State, BYU, TCU and Utah still would not get a fair shake at a BCS title, which they so equally deserve.

With the creation of super-conferences, these teams would be pushed even further onto the back burner.

With all this being said, it’s quite clear the NCAA and its conference plan for expansion is all about the money.

Let’s be honest, have you heard any other sport outside of football

being mentioned when discussing expansion?

Imagine what the creation of su-per-conferences will do for college basketball and March Madness.

Are we missing a correlation between the expansion of the con-ferences and the expansion of the NCAA Tournament?

What about baseball, wom-en’s basketball or even the Olym-pic sports that most universities have?

Maybe we will get answers to these questions sooner rather than later.

Or, maybe the Mayan calendar ends on Dec. 21, 2012 for a reason – maybe it predicts the end of all this conference clutter.

KEY PLAYERKelvin Sheppard, LBSheppard is one of only four returners from the Tigers’ 2010 defense that ended inside the nation’s top 30 in total defense. Thanks to the 6-foot-3, 239-pound senior, the unit should pick up right where it left off . Sheppard ended fourth in the SEC with 110 tackles a season ago, and after deciding to return to Baton Rouge for his senior season, expectations are even higher for the linebacker. Sheppard enters the 2010 season as one of the best line-backers in the SEC and is the undisputable leader of the Tigers, on and off the fi eld.
