Relay for Life raises money for cure By john boddington Staff Writer J.M.Boddington@iup.edu
Students massed in Wallwork Hall on Thursday at 6 p.m. Information about IUP’s Relay for Life event was provided in room G-98 of the Residence Hall. Relay for Life is a worldwide walking event to find a cure for cancer. “Tonight’s event is an opportunity for students to learn about what the Relay for Life is and does, and they can get any of their questions answered,” said Thea Petrigac (senior, journalism), the IUP Relay for Life committee Publicity and Team Development chair. A single man, Dr. Gordy Klatt, started the walk in 1985. Klatt, a colorectal surgeon from Tacoma, Washington, walked around a track for 24 hours to raise money for the cause. Now, about 3.5 million people all over the country and people from 19 other countries worldwide follow in Klatt’s footsteps. Friday, April 8, IUP will host a Relay for Life, with participants

Undergraduate Scholars Forum offers educational opportunity By JOHN BODDINGTON Staff Writer J.M.Boddington@iup.edu
Tuesday, April 5, undergraduate students will display projects concerning their majors to judges and for various awards. “These presentations are beyond the typical classroom assignments and they directly relate to the students’ major,” said Dr. Edward Donley of the math department. On the day of the presentations, both poster displays and electronic displays will be showcased for judging. A judge from each college will review the students’ presentations, and six types of awards will be given. The six awards are as follows: the Undergraduate Juried Arts awards, the Poster Session Awards, the Bibliography Awards, the Best in Session Awards, the Sigma Xi Awards and the Teacher Work Sample Awards. “Along with creating a suitable presentation concerning their major, students must also have a professor to aid them with their project,” Donley said. Once students have gotten a professor to help them with their project, the student must then apply online before the Feb. 25 deadline. Presentations will begin around 8:30 a.m. and finish around 5 p.m. There is also a breakfast in the HUB from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. A reception will be held after, around 4:30 to 5:15 p.m. The presentations are to be given are scheduled according to the presenters’ majors; presentation times may vary due to the number of students participating and the amount
First one-clawed dinosaur fossil found in China By BILL SMITH DPA MCT
A fossil found in China of a previously unknown single-clawed species has shed light on the evolution of dinosaurs, international scientists said Monday. The species of monodactyl theropod was unearthed in China’s Inner Mongolia region, the scientists said. Theropods are a primarily carnivorous group that includes the well-known tyrannosaurus and velociraptor. Theropods had short forelimbs and ran or
walked on their hind legs, eventually giving rise to modern birds. Lead Chinese researcher Xu Xing and colleagues discovered the Linhenykus monodactylus fossil in rocks from the Upper Cretaceous Wulansuhai formation near Inner Mongolia’s Linhe city, according to a report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The rock formation dates back 75 million to 84 million years and is one of the world’s richest veins for dinosaur fossils. The researchers found a partial skeleton, including bones

from the vertebral column, the forelimbs and hind limbs, the report said. It said the small dinosaur probably grew to a maximum height of about 1 meter and weighed about the same as a large parrot. Its development of a single claw “highlights a complex pattern of evolution in the hand of this dinosaur group,” the report said. Unlike that monodactyl, most theropods had three claws. The report was written by Xu and nine Chinese, U.S. and British scientists.

Survey notes risky behavior at Wi-Fi hot spots By wailin wong Chicago Tribune MCT
U.S. consumers love Wi-Fi access but don’t always have safe habits when they visit hot spots, according to a new survey by industry group Wi-Fi Alliance. The survey polled 1,054 Americans over the age of 18 through online interviews. The results showed that 32 percent of respondents had tried to use a Wi-Fi network that wasn’t their own during the past 12 months, up from 18 percent in December 2008. When asked whether sharing a Wi-Fi network password or a house key required more trust, 40 percent of survey participants chose the former. “We always think security is
really important, and we’ve been prioritizing it for a long time,” said Kelly Davis-Felner, marketing director for the Wi-Fi Alliance. “We do feel like we’re at a point where ... people are using a lot of Wi-Fi and doing more with Wi-Fi. The average household might have a couple of notebooks, a tablet, a smart phone, gaming devices or advanced digital home (devices) like set-top boxes all connecting via a Wi-Fi network.” According to the Wi-Fi alliance, about 201 million households use Wi-Fi networks, and there are about 750,000 Wi-Fi hot spots worldwide. Davis-Felner said consumers should remember to set strong passwords for their wireless networks by changing the easy-to-hack default
password that’s issued by manufacturers of wireless routers. Web surfers should also take safeguards when they use public hot spots, most of which haven’t turned on security protections. Activities like online banking should be saved for a more secure connection. “I don’t want to overstate this,” Davis-Felner said. “If you’re sitting in a coffee shop or an airport on a (Wi-Fi) network, you are highly more likely to have your purse stolen from under your seat while you’re checking Facebook than having your password stolen. ... (But) what I do tell people is: If (I’m) in an unsecured hot spot, I would not transmit anything that I wouldn’t write on the back of a postcard.”

The previous day, he had posted a message on his Twitter account stating that, “it seems that [the] government is planning a war crime tomorrow,” adding, “We are all ready to die.” During his disappearance, Ghonim became identified as a symbol of the massive protests in Egypt, which have continued as Mubarak has made selective concessions to the protesters — including a pledge
to not run in elections slated for later this year. In addition, Ghonim had set up the official campaign website for opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal. A Google spokeswoman said Monday that, “It is a huge relief that Wael Ghonim has been released. We send our best wishes to him and his family.” Ghonim left a brief message on his Twitter account later in the day, that “Freedom is a bless(ing) that deserves fighting for it.” A U.S. State Department representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

AOL to buy Huffington Post in bid to increase traffic, ad revenue By JESSICA GUYNN Los Angeles Times MCT
In a bid to make itself relevant again, struggling Internet pioneer AOL Inc. announced late Sunday that it would buy the Huffington Post, the well-known news and opinion site, for $315 million in cash and stock. As part of the deal, Huffington Post co-founder Arianna Huffington will oversee a new group responsible for bringing together all editorial content from both companies including news, technology, music and local media websites. The deal, which was signed Sunday with approval from the boards of both companies, is something of a gamble for AOL, which is looking to reignite growth in advertising revenue. The Huffington Post could give AOL a much-needed boost in talent, traffic and ad inventory. Perhaps more importantly, it could also give the company an image makeover. But it remains to be seen whether the acquisition will be the turning point AOL Chief Executive Tim Armstrong has been looking for in his strategy to transform AOL into major purveyor of content and advertising.

Sociology professor receives funding to recreate Grand Review By JOHN BODDINGTON Staff Writer J.M.Boddington@iup.edu
Dr. James Dougherty, Director of the IUP Center for Northern Appalachian Studies and Assistant Professor of Sociology, has received funding to reenact the Pennsylvania Grand Review. When the Civil War ended 150 years ago, African-Americans who had fought for the Union army were excluded from a celebration, known as the Pennsylvania Grand Review. After their rejection from the celebration, African-American soldiers and their families held their own Grand Review in Harrisburg. When it came to the creation of the Grand Review, soldiers had their families to thank; the families of those who had fought were equally angered by the government’s newly enacted rule. For Dougherty, this is not just a reenactment, but also a passion. Now, with help from the
Pennsylvania Office of Tourism, IUP and individuals across the country can join together to recreate the event. “This event helps people realize the personal stories and struggles of African-American soldiers after the Civil War ended,” Dougherty said. With the $10,000 of funding received by the Pennsylvania Office of Tourism, Dougherty and others, aside from recreating Pennsylvania’s Grand Review, travel to cemeteries to speak and visit those who died for their country and their freedom. Some of the cemeteries visited in the past are in Belmont, Altoona, Huntington, Bedford, Blairsville and two others in Pittsburgh. There are three students from IUP that will take part in this event: Tim Caldwell (freshman, criminology), Saye Zarwolo (junior, sociology), and Dontez Burnett (senior, hospitality management). The three IUP students went through a training session from June to October 2010.

Verizon iPhone sales suspended after record first day By FRANK MICHAEL RUSSELL San Jose Mercury News MCT
Verizon Wireless has ended early ordering for Apple’s iPhone 4. Without releasing exact numbers, the carrier on Friday said it had record first-day sales for the phone. Verizon suspended iPhone 4 sales Thursday night. First-day sales were limited to Verizon’s existing customers. “This was an exciting day,” Verizon Wireless CEO Dan Mead said in a news release Friday. “In just our first two hours, we had already sold more phones than any first-day launch in our history.” With heavy demand for the iPhone 4, numerous technology blogs reported that Verizon’s website was overloaded for some customers, especially during the early morning hours. Mead, however, said that “overall, it was a very good day.”
“I am proud of our employees who worked tirelessly to strengthen and scale our systems,” he said. Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White noted in an e-mail Friday that demand for the Verizon iPhone “was much stronger than originally expected.” “We believe this is quite a statement around the pent-up demand from Verizon customers for the iPhone 4, and we believe this speaks to the potential trajectory of demand with Verizon in 2011,” White wrote. “This also provides just another example of why we believe the voracious appetite for Apple products is not yet reflected in the stock price.” In-person sales will begin at 7 a.m. Feb. 10 at Apple Stores and Verizon Wireless stores. The device also will be available at Best Buy and some Wal-Mart stores. Customers also can order online at the Apple or Verizon websites beginning Feb. 9.
U.S. life expectancy increase slows By SHARI ROAN Los Angeles Times MCT
Life expectancy has risen in the United States over the last 25 years, but it’s not rising as fast as it once was. And, compared with other developed nations, U.S. life expectancy doesn’t measure up. In a report released Tuesday by the National Research Council, experts describe U.S. life expectancy as a “poor performance” compared with many other countries given the fact that the United States spends far more on health care than any other nation. For U.S. males, life expectancy at birth increased by about 5.5 years (from 69.9 to 75.5) from 1980 to 2006. That’s good, but it still lags behind the average life-expectancy gains of 21 other countries. For U.S. women,
life expectancy at birth increased by about three years (from 77.5 to 80.7) from 1980 to 2006, which also ranks much lower than other developed nations. Why aren’t Americans living the longest given the amount spent on health care? According to the report, about half of the gap between U.S. life expectancy and countries with higher life expectancy is due to heart-disease rates in the United States. Moreover, among U.S. women, smoking appears to account for lower life expectancy relative to other countries. Obesity may account for one-fifth to one-third of the shortfall in U.S. life expectancy as compared with other countries, the report states. Though the U.S. health-care system prolongs life, it’s not nearly as effective when it comes to prevention, research said.

School voucher idea should be out Editorial Reading Eagle (Reading, Pa) MCT
The strong survive, the weak perish, and the herd gets stronger. It’s the stuff of many nature shows. Now some Pennsylvania lawmakers want to bring it to a school near you. But it’s not critters being devoured by voracious carnivores. It’s weak school districts that would find themselves on the defensive against the most efficient predator of the free market system: competition. How? Through school vouchers. Senate Bill 1, introduced by Sen. Jeffrey E. Piccola, a Dauphin County Republican, and Sen. Anthony H. Williams, a Philadelphia Democrat, would allow students at public schools to transfer to other schools – public or private – and take their state subsidy with them. Sens. Mike Folmer of Lebanon County and John C. Rafferty of Montgomery County, each of whom represent parts of Berks, co-sponsored the legislation. Folmer touted the vouchers as a means of empowering parents by allowing them to escape failing school systems. The vouchers at first
would be limited to impoverished students in the state’s worst-performing schools. In Berks, those are Reading High School and Reading’s Gateway School for International Business and World Language. Folmer also said the competition for students and state money would force public schools to improve. So schools, faced with losing students and with them a chunk of their state subsidy, would get their act together and become successful. It’s not a new idea, having been proposed as recently as 2010, when it died – for good reasons. After all, we are talking about public institutions here, not an ecosystem. To begin with, Article 3 of the Pennsylvania Constitution states,“ no man can of right be compelled to attend, erect or support any place of worship or to maintain any ministry against his consent.” Religious schools – which are the majority of private schools -- support a ministry. Hence taxpayers cannot be obliged to help maintain them via vouchers. But even if religious schools were excluded, school voucher programs have not been shown to work. In a report released last year,
Dinosaur Comics
Page 8 • Tuesday, February 8, 2011 • www.thepenn.org
Research for Action, a Philadelphiabased nonpartisan organization devoted to research on education for disadvantaged students, concluded that vouchers have no statistically significant effect on student achievement. The agency also found that nothing is known about vouchers’ impact on graduation rates, college enrollment and post-school success. We question why a successful public school district, which relies on local taxpayer money in addition to the state subsidy, would assume the financial burden of educating other districts’ students. Cash-strapped districts are cutting popular programs to make ends meet, so this makes no sense. And we fail to see how poor school districts, already short of funds, would be improved by getting less money when students leave. Furthermore the poorest families will still be left out. They cannot afford additional expenses such as transportation, uniforms or whatever tuition the vouchers do not cover. So let’s keep the survival of the fittest on the nature shows and out of the schools. The only thing that deserves to get chewed up is this poorly thought-out idea.

U.S. students passed over by world By Anne Michaud Newsday MCT
In these days of tiger-mother hysteria about raising children with academic backbone, President Barack Obama has weighed in with yet another cause for paranoia. The president dropped India and China into his State of the Union speech, just long enough to say they are educating their children earlier and longer. Generally, school days are longer in Asian countries, and vacation breaks, though more frequent, are shorter — no more than five weeks in summer. Subjects are introduced earlier. South Korean parents, for example, insisted that President Lee Myung-bak recruit more English teachers, so that kids could begin language lessons in the first grade. Research supports these measures as important to kids’ learning. Few educators would disagree that more time on task and shorter intervals away from the classroom are beneficial. Obama’s clear implication is that if we want to keep up, to hold on to a place of prosperity in an increasingly competitive world, we should be considering these things. Americans have one of the shortest school years on the planet. Our kids attend school for 180 days each year, while Germany and Japan average 230 days. In South Korea — where teachers are hailed as “nation builders” — school is in session for 225 days each year. By the time American students reach eighth grade, they’ve spent roughly 400 fewer days in school. So there’s a lot of pressure on teachers to cover subjects in a shorter time, and in less depth. Not coincidentally, perhaps, middle school is where American students begin to fall behind their global peers. By high school, among 30 developed nations, U.S. students rank 15th in reading, 21st in science, 25th in math and 24th in problem-solving.
People who study these trends, like Education Secretary Arne Duncan, believe that the United States has stood still while others have moved past us. In an October speech to the Council on Foreign Relations, Duncan said, “Here in the United States, we simply flat-lined. We stagnated. We lost our way, and others literally passed us by.” So while people of my generation might say to ourselves, “We didn’t know much math, and we turned out OK,” we’d be missing the point. The rest of the world is changing. We need to prepare our children for a knowledge economy. It’s not entirely bad for Americans that other countries are growing wealthier and better educated. Having a market for our products abroad is essential to our economic growth, and an educated world is a safer one. But we don’t want to be left behind. Some U.S. schools have been experimenting with more time in the classroom. Roughly 1,000 schools — including 800 charters and about 200 traditional district schools — have expanded their schedules by more than one to two hours a day, according to the National Center on Time and Learning. KIPP Academy, one charter success story that started in the Bronx, requires parents to sign a contract saying they will not pull kids out for a family vacation. Expect to see more of this. As Congress moves to reauthorize and rework No Child Left Behind, the Obama administration is pushing for flexibility for school districts to break from established norms. In November, the New York State School Boards Association advocated a longer school day and year “where it will serve students well.” Midafternoon dismissal times and long summer breaks are impractical holdovers from an agrarian past — increasingly so, as more homes are led by single parents or two working parents. It’s time to dust off those problem-solving skills and put them back to work.

The Super Bowl and...free speech? As television audiences become more fractured, the Super Bowl is one remaining event that advertisers can bank on to have a large audience. But the business of effectively reaching that audience, and getting the green light from the network airing the game, can be dicey. Intriguing ads are essential for the multi-million dollar Super Bowl spots – but how do you get and keep attention without alienating potential customers? The day after, or even during the game, as everyone updates Twitter and Facebook endlessly during TV events, just as many people might be talking about the ads they saw the night before as are talking about the major plays on the field. Now, this talk starts in the weeks before the main event. Early clips of ads that will run and stories about the ads that were banned showed up on the Internet long before kickoff. But why are some ads banned? This is America! Free speech! Well, the network has viewers to answer to, even if advertisers are willing to pay top dollar to put something risqué on the air. It might be easier to deal with some disappointed people before the game than field thousands of angry phone calls from offended viewers after the fact – the network could lose those viewers to boycotts. And since we have this great thing called YouTube, banned ads can find a permanent home and an avid audience for free. After banning, AshleyMadison. com and JesusHatesObama.com had articles that included links to the ads featured on news websites. But this diluted form of prior restraint doesn’t block all problems. At least two commercials have stirred up controversy after airing. Groupon’s ad starts with concerns for the plight of the Tibetan people, but then shills cheap Tibetan food. The HomeAway Inc. ad had a “test baby” hurled against a window, offending those whose children were injured in accidents. Air the ad, don’t air the ad – it seems networks can’t really win either way. But in the end, whether the response is good or bad, advertisers get what they want: the viewers are talking about their product.
Editorial Policy
No more assuming: fracking – it’s bad. Editorial Pittsburgh Post-Gazette MCT
As if hydraulic fracking were not controversial enough, the process that involves breaking into gas deposits deep underground is now subject of another environmental concern. A House Energy and Commerce Committee probe showed oil and gas companies injected 32.2 million gallons of fluids with diesel fuel into wells in 19 states, including Pennsylvania, in 2005 to 2009 without federal approval. This was not supposed to happen. In a letter to Environmental Protection Agency head Lisa Jackson, three Democrats who pushed the investigation recalled that in 2003 the EPA signed an agreement with the three largest players in hydraulic
fracturing to end diesel being used in coal-bed methane formations near underground sources of drinking water. Two years later, the letter noted, Congress exempted hydraulic fracturing from the Safe Drinking Water Act except when the fluids contain diesel. The three representatives – Henry Waxman of California, Edward J. Markey of Massachusetts and Diana DeGette of Colorado – suspect a violation of the act. The companies dispute this, saying the EPA never properly developed regulations. This legal jousting, though, misses a greater point. While it’s true that the House probe did not turn up evidence of actual damage to health or the environment, the revelation is subversive of the public trust. As the letter said, “ [...] many assumed that the industry stopped using diesel fuel altogether in hydraulic fracturing.” That this assumption is now shat-
tered is a public relations black eye for an industry that has basically told the public: “Trust us.” Lessons abide here for Pennsylvania, home to the rich Marcellus Shale gas. This economic opportunity must be done right. It must be strictly regulated and inspected. All information should be known to the authorities and the public. A spokesman for the state Department of Environmental Protection was not aware of the use of diesel in frack fluid here, which the House investigation put at 589 gallons, in truth a relatively small figure. To fund oversight, a step should be taken that Gov. Tom Corbett opposes: An extraction tax should be levied on the drillers, because every other drilling state has one. Nothing can be assumed after this news, and the kind of strict enforcement that can be trusted is likely to cost more.

Organization focuses on assisting military troops By JAZMINN JONES Life & Style Editor J.V.Jones@iup.edu
Making it a priority to show military troops support, whether it’s through sending care packages or a simple card stating how much they are missed, can do more than provide for the soldiers physically, but also emotionally. Give2TheTroops.org, an official website to help support military troops overseas, gives information about how to donate, branch locations, calendar of events and more. Andi Grant, President and Founder of Give2TheTroops organization, decided that she needed and wanted to do something to support the troops as she watched her husband, Brian, a Sergeant in United States Marine Corps, and his fellow Marine Reservatists received their one-year deployment orders for Operation Iraqi Freedom, according to the website. Within the first month of beginning the project, she has already sent 129 boxes to more than 4,000 troops. In the next month, 232 boxes were sent and the numbers increased greatly, according to the website. At the end of the online letter, explaining how the organization was created, Grant wrote “Semper Fidelis,” Latin for “Always Faithful.” This saying is well-known in the U.S. as a inspiring motto of the United

States Marine Corps. “Our organization is doing very well and has been sending out 65 pound care packages to the troops since 2002,” Carol Kana, Director of Community Affairs, said. “This program is unique, since we send special request items for any troop member in a war zone. In the past, we have sent out microwaves, coffee pots, musical instruments, and even a Bo Flex machine. We have supported more than 1 million deployed U.S. troops, send out more than 115,000 boxes, which also included over 30 million cards.” Donating through the organization can be done with monetary support and care packages. Monetary donations can be made through the official website via PayPal Donate or sent to Give2TheTroops, Inc., P.O. Box 1009, Canton, CT 06019-1009. Even though this P.O. Box is available, it strongly restricts letters, cards and other items and is only available for monetary donations. Care packages are sent all year long. There is a list available showing all of the items that are most needed and requested for more assistance. Branch locations and shipping instructions are also provided. The list of options in sending and supporting the troops continues, from Ebay Giving Works to GoodSearch. com. “We support any troop on

duty in a war zone. This includes all branches of the military service,” Kana said. “New troops are constantly signing up with our organization. We have had approximately 500 units sign up with us during the past week. When an individual signs up, they request items for their entire unit. Their unit may be small such as five or 10 troop members, all or several hundred members. The individual becomes the point person for their unit and checks with all members to see what items they could use. We also support numerous canine units with treats, bedding,
and other items.” The Give2TheTroops organization not only sends packages overseas, but also creates annual programs and campaigns that can run seasonal and year-round. The current program happening is “Warm A Troop’s Heart” which are currently receiving donations until April 1. Cold weather items and special things, such as hot chocolate, coffee, coffee makers, etc., are being accepted.

Presents... Ida Arici/The Penn Jonathan Nicholson (sophomore, sociology) and Toya Robertson (sophomore, communications media), President, plans to use all proceeds for the group’s first fashion show March 18 in the HUB Ohio Room.
‘Ladies with Poize’ hold Valentine’s Day candy sale By ida arici Senior Staff Writer I.D.Arici@iup.edu
Ladies with Poize kicked off their first Valentine’s Day sale Jan. 31 in the HUB. Students can choose from four different items for their friend, roommate, crush or anyone special to them to pick up Monday, Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day. Item one, an extra large Hershey’s Kiss, is being sold for $5. Item two, a small teddy bear inside of a square mug holding a lollipop, is being sold for $7. Item three, a small stuffed dog inside of a circular mug holding a lollipop, is being sold for $9. Item four, a large bear holding a lollipop, is being sold for $15. Adding a carnation or just sending a carnation by itself is $1. The final day to purchase any items is 4 p.m. Friday, Feb. 11 at the table in the HUB.
“Once the sale is over, we’re going to look up the names of the people getting the items and send them an e-mail to come pick it up,” said Toya Robertson, (sophomore, communications media) Ladies with Poize’s president. “We’ll be at the table in the HUB from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the 14th.” Ladies with Poize plan to make a Valentine’s Day fundraiser an annual event. All proceeds will go to Ladies with Poize in order to fund their first fashion show March 18 in the HUB Ohio Room. “We’re not a funded organization,” Robertson said. “That’s why these fundraisers are so important.” Ladies with Poize was officially recognized as a student organization at both the Punxsutawney and Main campuses Sept. 15, 2010, though it originated at Punxsutawney. For more information about Ladies with Poize or the Valentine’s Day sale, contact Toya Robertson at t.j.robertson@iup.edu.

MCT Mike McCarthy and the Green Bay Packers defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-25.
Packers hold off Steelers By Tom Rock Newsday MCT
The Packers denied the Steelers a chance to hoist the trophy named after the patron saint of Green Bay for a seventh time and are bringing the silver football back home to Wisconsin. The Packers scored 21 points off three turnovers and withstood a nearly historic comeback to hang on for a 31-25 win Sunday night in Super Bowl XLV. Pittsburgh may still have the most Super Bowl championships, but the Packers made sure they didn’t get another on their watch. As commissioner Roger Goodell said when he handed the trophy to the Packers: “Vince Lombardi is coming home to Green Bay.” MVP Aaron Rodgers completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards and no turnovers. The win not only cemented Rodgers’ place in Green Bay lore but also justified one of the most controversial decisions in team history, cutting ties with Brett Favre in 2008. The Steelers did make the eve-
ning entertaining, bouncing almost all the way back from an 18-point deficit by inching to within three with 7:34 left. They made it 28-25 on a 25-yard touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Mike Wallace and a two-point conversion run on an option by Antwaan Randle El. The Packers ate up more than five minutes but came away with only a field goal and a still tenuous six-point lead. Then Roethlisberger threw three straight incompletions to turn it over on downs. The final pass was a high one for Wallace on fourth-and-5 at the Pittsburgh 33. The deciding touchdown came after Clay Matthews forced a fumble by Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall and the Packers, who had been flat and discombobulated for most of the second half, marched 55 yards for a 28-17 lead. The big play was a 38-yard pass to Jordy Nelson on a crossing route on third-and-10, but the points came when Rodgers stared the entire Steelers defense to its right, then came back to Greg Jennings, open in the right corner of the end zone.

“It’s a good feeling to not have to rely on upsets.” —Jeff Dow, IUP womens basketball Head Coach Every time IUP and Cal U play each other there always seems to be something at stake. The teams have played each other in the conference tournament the last four seasons. IUP defeated Cal U three years in a row in the tournament final, but lost to the Vulcans in the first round last season. Cal U owns five consecutive regular season victories over the Hawks, including a 93-59 win over the Hawks Jan. 19. This time around, there is again something at stake. A loss for the Vulcans would all but kill any chances of landing the top spot in the PSAC West. A win for the Hawks potentially sets up rematch with Edinboro with sole possession in the PSAC West on the line. “For all intents and purposes, we have control of our own destiny here,” Dow said. “It’s a good feeling to not have to rely on upsets,” he added. “Whether it’s in your own conference or in the other conferences in terms of the regional rankings. We know what’s needs to be done.” Enacting revenge on the Vulcans will have to be a part of that destiny. “After watching the film yesterday, I feel like our team and even our individual players are better now than what they were that night,” Dow said. “There’s no question in my mind that we’re going to come out with a much better effort, be much more competitive.” “We got to do some things to not let Cal look so good either,” he added. Cal U looked good in a number of categories, grabbing 16 more rebounds and committing seven fewer turnovers than IUP.

game was just another nightmare in a season full of them for the Pirates (10-14, 4-8), who have lost close game after close game by failing to execute down the stretch. Losses to Dayton, Richmond, Syracuse and Georgetown also followed a similar, maddening script. “We’ve got to learn how to close out games at the end,” said senior guard Jeremy Hazell, who scored a game-high 20 points but was stuffed by Oriakhi on a three-point attempt with six seconds left and the Pirates trailing by three. That led to Oriakhi being fouled. That was Pope’s fifth foul. It was when he picked up his fourth with 7:52 left and the Pirates leading, 56-46, that momentum began to turn. Pope was whistled when he crashed into Shabazz Napier while chasing a loose ball.

Alex Oriakhi stood alone at the foul line, the beneficiary of an intentional foul from Herb Pope with 3.7 seconds to go. Near midcourt, all five Seton Hall players stood, shoulders collectively sagging. As usual, Connecticut stood apart from the Pirates. Oriakhi made one of two free throws to give the sixth-ranked Huskies a four-point lead as they rallied Saturday night from a 14-point second-half deficit to defeat Seton Hall, 61-59, at Prudential Center.

IUP loses chance at ACHA tournament By Zach Graham Z.Graham@iup.edu Staff Writer
The West Virginia Mountaineers ended the IUP Crimson Hawks’ chances to earn their first appearance in the ACHA Division I National Tournament after the No. 25 Mountaineers skated to an easy 7-0 victory Friday night at S&T Bank Arena. With West Virginia also winning Saturday against Youngstown State, they opened a 12-point advantage over the Hawks, who at best can earn 10 points in their remaining two conference games. While Slippery Rock can still win the conference with two games remaining, the Hawks’ attempt is done. In winning the CHMA, West Virginia or Slippery Rock will earn an automatic bid to the national tournament in Newark, Del. During Saturday’s game, IUP was assessed a total of 65 penalty minutes to West Virginia’s 22, while four Hawks players were ejected – all after the game was out of reach. The Mountaineers opened a two-goal lead in the first period with goals from Tyler King and Nick Persichetti. In the second period they added another two: Kris Anderson scored with 4:32
left, while Persichetti added a short-handed goal with 2:09 in the period to give his team a 4-0 lead. West Virginia did not let off the offensive attack, scoring two power-play goals in the first half of the third period. Anderson added another goal with nine minutes to play, as the Mountaineers shut out the Hawks, 7-0. The Hawks also played a non-conference game Saturday at No. 18 Robert Morris. In two previous games against the Colonials this season, each team had won on home ice. Saturday’s game saw plenty of offense, though far more by the Colonials, who won, 12-6. While the Hawks saw their national tournament hopes dashed over the weekend, they still have earned the right to compete in the CHMA tournament. The tournament, to be played in Wheeling, W.Va. on Feb. 25-27 will feature the top six of the conferences eight teams. Before the conference tournament, the Hawks finish up their regular season schedule next weekend. At 8 p.m. Friday they will host Slippery Rock, while they will travel to Pitt at 9:20 p.m. Saturday for a contest.
