WVU names 36th Goldwater scholar

BY Alyssa Pluchino Staff writer

West Virginia University civil engineering student Rachel James has been named WVU’s 36th Goldwater Scholar.

The Barry M. Goldwater Scholarship and Excellence in Education Program is awarded to college juniors and seniors who demonstrate elite commitment and potential in the fields

of mathematics, natural sciences or engineering.

James said to be one out of just two civil engineering applicants to receive this award is an honor.

“I’m still in a state of shock that I was placed into this category of students , I’m so honored,” James said. “It has been a huge confidence boost. Most doubts about my ability to survive graduate school have vanished.”

James, who resides in Crawford, W.Va., initially became inspired with city and transportation infrastructure when her high school band traveled to Disney World her junior year.

“In my hometown, there are less than 1,000 people.

I wasn’t subjected to congestion or any of the other issues that result from an abundance of people living in a small area,” James

said. “The first time I saw an eight-lane highway, all I could think about was how interesting it was that the demand for this road was so high that this level of capacity was necessary to efficiently move traffic.

“Now my interest is in the use of probability and mathematical models to more accurately characterize the uncertainty in travel times.”

James applied to WVU

with little direction regarding the career path she wanted to pursue. During her freshman year, James said she toyed with the idea of obtaining degrees in business or law and enrolled in several general electives.

“My grandparents did a great job of instilling in me the importance of higher education. I’ve known since I was five that college was the route to go in order

When West Virginia University alumnus A.J. Clemente landed his entry-level broadcast journalism job with North Dakota’s NBC affiliate KFYR, he never imagined his very first time on air would also be his last.

While preparing to go live and practicing the pronunciation of the London Marathon winner’s name, Clemente was heard whispering into his microphone the words “f---ing s---.”

As Clemente has now explained many times during nationally televised interviews, he was unaware the station had gone live, as he had loaned his earpiece to his co-anchor and therefore received no warning.

“We went on air 30 seconds before we were supposed to; I was in the middle of trying to learn to pronounce the name of the marathon winner – nobody knew we were live,” Clemente said. “During my second story, you can even hear the weather man ask if we were live.”

Not knowing he was on live television, Clemente was immediately caught off guard and attempted to rebound by introducing himself as a graduate of WVU. Later, Clemente was released from his job for using profanity on air. His coanchor opened the 10 p.m. news with an apology and explained it wouldn’t happen again.

By the time Clemente left the news station that night, he had already received more than 300,000 hits on DeadSpin. He said the next few

days were a completely unexpected whirlwind adventure.

“Once I found out I was going to be fired, I posted it on Twitter, and that’s when the news agencies started contacting me. The first big contact that I got was from Inside Edition,” he said. “I never thought that would be the case; I thought for sure I would just be the butt of a bad joke for the rest of my life.”

With a brand that appeals to all age groups and demographics, the pizzeria expects to receive a wide range of costumers.

“We like to say people from 6 to 60 years old love our brand,” Warr said. “Our food is a mainstay of American culture.”

Although the restaurant already has locations in Charleston, Fayetteville and Worthington, Ohio, Morgantown is the first franchise of the corporation.

“Being from Charleston, I frequently go to the Pies & Pints there whenever I’m back in town,” said junior accounting major, Cody Ballard.

Residents of Morgantown looking for a slice of craft pizza paired with locally brewed beer will soon be able to satisfy their craving with the new Pies & Pints Pizzeria in Suncrest Towne Centre.

Founded in West Virginia, Pies and Pints Pizzeria brings unique pizza and beer to the state.

“It’s great food, because it’s pizza like you’ve never had it,” said Stan Warr, owner of Pies & Pints Pizzeria in Morgantown. “We make everything fresh daily, and we have a very unique oven that helps make our pizza different from anywhere else.”

With 15 different signature pies and a variety of 45 beers, Warr said there is something to meet everyone’s tastes.

“The sky’s the limit as far as the creativeness of toppings,” he said. “We feature ingredients such as shrimp, spinach, sausage and pepperoni, as well as fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and natural ingredients to complement our pizzas.”

Pies and Pints to open in Morgantown

ZIPPING INTO ACTION

West Virginia University has expanded its outdoor adventure program by creating the only University-owned Canopy Tour.

The Canopy Tour hosted its grand opening Thursday, and Jonathan Kimble, the Mountaineer mascot, was the first to go on the zip line course.

The tour, which is composed of four zip lines, an aerial bridge and a tandem rappel, contains qualities not present in other adventure challenges at WVU. “Instead of the focus being on the team experience, it’s a little more on the individual experience,” said Nathan Harlan, Challenge Course program coordinator. “The focus is more on environmental education – learning about the research forest and just experiencing the forest itself.”

During the two and a half hours groups are on the tour, guides interact with the groups and tell them facts about the forest.

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Morgantown is holding its fourth annual 5k Red Shoe Run at Decker’s Creek Saturday at 8 a.m.

The run will benefit the children of RMHC, and all proceeds will go to its cause.

Steve De Jesus, executive director of the Morgantown branch of RMHC, said although this event brings in a couple thousand dollars, that’s not what the event is all about.

“This run is designed to engage people in the Morgantown community – let people spend time with their children and have a fun day out. Making money is not our main goal,” De Jesus said.

The event started when a Morgantown community member mentioned the idea to the staff at RMHC and the idea took

off.

The run, which will be approximately 1.5 miles long, will begin at Marilla Park near Decker’s Creek.

The trail will lead runners away from Sabraton, making its way downtown. It will then loop around allowing participants to end where they began.

“This is a timed race,” De Jesus said. “All adults will have electronic devices put on their ankles, and their time will be recorded by computer. We give out ranks and awards to different age groups.”

The event will also include a Kids’ Fun Run that starts at 10 a.m., and all children will be given medals for participation.

Witherspoon says she lied about pregnancy during arrest in Atlanta ATLANTA (AP) — Actress Reese Witherspoon recalled that she panicked, said some “crazy things” and even claimed to be pregnant the night she was arrested in Atlanta on a disorderly conduct charge.

stop. A police report states that Witherspoon asked a Georgia state trooper, “Do you know my name?” and added, “You’re about to find out who I am.”

In her first sit-down interview about the arrest, the Oscar-winning actress told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that she had “one too many” glasses of wine, and panicked after she and her husband were pulled

over.

“I have no idea what I was saying that night,” she said. “I literally panicked. I said all kinds of crazy things. I told them I was pregnant. I’m not pregnant.”

Witherspoon, 37, was arrested after the trooper said she wouldn’t stay in the car while her husband, Hollywood agent Jim Toth, was being given a field so-

briety test.

A dash-cam video of the arrest posted by the TMZ website on Thursday shows a state trooper repeatedly telling Witherspoon to get back inside the car while he speaks to Toth. She initially tells him she is pregnant and needs to use the restroom.

At another point, she approaches the trooper as he reminds her of his direc-

tive to stay in the car. When she defies his warnings to immediately return to the vehicle, he starts handcuffing the actress and she becomes irate.

“This is harassment!

You’re harassing me as an American citizen! I have done nothing against the law!” she said.

After more words are exchanged, the trooper leads her away off-screen, pre-

sumably to the police car, while Toth looks on.

When the trooper returns, Toth tells him, “I had nothing to do with that.”

“I know,” the trooper responds.

Toth was charged with drunken driving and was due in court May 23. Witherspoon faced a May 22 court hearing on the disorderly conduct charge.

“I would be perfectly fine to start over in a small market or a medium market and work my way up the ladder like I originally thought I would need to. I’m not above anyone else. I don’t expect to be handed anything,” he said.

Through this experience, Clemente said he has been overwhelmed by the love and support he has received from

the WVU community.

“I love West Virginia University. I always will,” he said.

“The support pouring in from Mountaineer Nation has been truly unbelievable; I really appreciate it.”

Clemente said he hopes to have the opportunity to share a success story years from now. He said he hopes he can encourage those who

may make a mistake to not quit when something bad happens.

“You just have to move on.

You just have to keep pushing forward,” he said. “If you have a dream or goal, don’t let anyone or anything bring you down. I have to remind myself of that three or four times a day now.”

“Everything happens for a

reason; I’m a firm believer in that. I know it will work out, and it will be fine. Don’t look to the past, but rather look to the future.”

‘Off the charts’: 133k Somalia famine child deaths

AP

A child reacts as he is weighed at a field hospital of Medecins Sans Frontieres in the town of Dadaab, Kenya.

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A decision by extremist Islamic militants to ban delivery of food aid and a “normalization of crisis” that numbed international donors to unfolding disaster made south-central Somalia the most dangerous place in the world to be a child in 2011.

The first in-depth study of famine deaths in Somalia in 2011 was released Thursday, and it estimates that 133,000 children under age 5 died, with child death rates approaching 20 percent in some communities.

That’s 133,000 under-5 child deaths out of an estimated 6.5 million people in south-central Somalia. That compares to 65,000 under-5 deaths that occurred in all industrial countries in the world combined during the same period, a population of 990 million, said Chris Hillbruner, a senior food security adviser at FEWS NET, a U.S.-sponsored famine warning agency.

“The scale of the child mortality is really off the charts,” Hillbruner said

in a telephone interview from Washington.

FEWS NET was one of two food security agencies that sponsored the study. The other was the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit - Somalia. The two agencies had warned the world as early as fall 2010 that failed rains in Somalia meant a hunger crisis was approaching.

“The world was too slow to respond to stark warnings of drought, exacerbated by conflict in Somalia, and people paid with their lives. These deaths could and should have been prevented,” said Senait Gebregziabher, the Somalia director for the aid group Oxfam.

The new study put the total number of famine deaths at nearly 260,000. The Associated Press first reported the death toll on Monday, based on officials who had been briefed on the report.

In March 2011 some 13,000 people died from famine, the study found. In May and June 30,000 people died each month — at

least half of them children.

The U.N.’s formal declaration of famine didn’t happen until July.

Why was there such a slow humanitarian response? One reason Hillbruner indicated was the feeling that Somalis are always suffering.

“I think that one of the key issues is that there was this normalization of crisis in south-central Somalia, and that I think the international community has become used to levels of malnutrition and food insecurity in southern Somalia that in other parts of the world would be considered unacceptable,” Hillbruner said.

In Washington, U.S. State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said the hardest-hit famine regions were controlled by the extremist Islamist group al-Shabab.

“A l -Shab ab’s i n hu mane blockage of humanitarian assistance prior to and during the famine, including banning dozens of humanitarian organizations from providing lifesaving assistance,

thwarted a more rapid international rapid humanitarian response that could have saved even more lives,” Ventrell said.

“And equally, al-Shabab’s refusal to allow affected populations to leave alShabab-controlled areas prevented them from seeking assistance elsewhere.”

The study was conducted by Francesco Checchi, an epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, and Courtland Robinson, a demographer at Johns Hopkins University.

It drew on 200 mortality surveys by the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit , including 61 from the famine period, and data on food prices, wages and humanitarian access.

Philippe Lazzarini, the chief U.N. humanitarian coordinator for Somalia, said in a video news conference from Mogadishu Thursday that the death toll was shocking and sobering. He said the report confirms that aid groups should have done more before famine was declared — by which point

120,000 people had already died.

Lazzarini also noted that more than a dozen aid groups were banned from operating in south-central Somalia by al-Shabab, a hardline anti-West political decision that made saving lives “extraordinarily difficult.” He said that in the months before famine was declared the crisis did not receive the amount of attention it should have, in part because of a lack of access because of al-Shabab.

“The famine was almost a silent drama of tragedy,” he said. “It was not on the news. Media did not have access. Agencies did not have access. The extraordinary challenge of access explains why the early response, despite the early warning, did not really take place.”

Ken Menkaus, a Somalia expert at Davidson College, said some elements of al-Shabab bear major responsibility for famine deaths, but that other factors contributed as well, including a corrupt Somali central government and general inse-

curity that made travel in Somalia dangerous.

Thousands of Somalis walked dozens or hundreds of miles to reach camps in Kenya, Ethiopia and Mogadishu, the Somali capital. Countless numbers of families lost children or elderly members along routes that became known as roads of death.

Somalia has made great progress since the famine ended in February 2012.

Al-Shabab has been forced out of Mogadishu and now controls far less territory than it once did. The government appears more capable than the Transitional Federal Government in place during the famine, but challenges like child mortality and food security remain.

G ebregziabher said a global conference on Somalia which will be held in London next week should encourage investment in long-term development to ensure the country does not suffer famine again.

Activist to be tried for insulting Egypt president TANTA, Egypt (AP) — Prominent Egyptian activist Ahmed Douma was arrested and immediately referred to trial for allegedly insulting the country’s president in a TV interview, a prosecutor said Thursday.

Douma is to stand trial on Sunday – less than a week after being arrested. He is the first prominent opposition activist to be tried on charges of insulting Islamist President Mohammed Morsi.

There have been a myriad of complaints levied against journalists and TV personalities, including well-known satirist Bassem Youssef, for insulting Morsi.

Rights groups say such charges restrict freedom of expression.

“The crime of insulting the president is vague and undefined,” the Egyptian Organization of Human Rights, one of Egypt’s oldest such groups, said in a statement on Thursday. “Most criminal codes in the world have abolished such crime.”

In Egypt, such a crime is punishable by up to three years in prison. A teacher

in southern Egypt was sentenced to six years in prison in September for insulting Islam’s prophet Muhammad and Morsi in comments posted on Facebook.

A prominent TV presenter was acquitted on charges of insulting the president and spreading false information following an appeal.

Government prosecutor Mohammed el-Taneekhi said Douma was arrested Tuesday after a member of Morsi’s party, the Muslim Brotherhood, in Tanta complained that Douma had called Morsi a “killer” and a “criminal.”

In his comments, Douma, a prominent activist who was among those at the forefront of the 2011 uprising against longtime autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak, blamed Morsi for a violent security crackdown on protesters in the coastal city of Port Said that left 40 people dead.

Douma, in his interview on Sada el-Balad private TV in February, also held Morsi responsible for an attack

by Brotherhood members

in December on a sit-in by anti-government protesters outside Morsi’s office.

“He is a president that is lacking legitimacy after the first blood was shed in the streets during his reign,” Douma said in the interview.

“He is ruling Egypt forcefully. ... I don’t see a president ruling Egypt. I see someone called Mohammed Morsi, a criminal evading justice, who is hiding in the presidential palace,” Douma said, prompting a co-guest, a pro-Morsi lawmaker, to leave the studio in protest.

“There must be respect for state symbols,” lawmaker Leila Sami, said before leaving.

Douma, who is also a poet, has been a vocal critic of Morsi and his government since the president was elected last summer.

He was beaten up in March during a rally outside the Muslim Brotherhood’s office by the group’s guards for painting graffiti they deemed offensive. The incident prompted a major

rally a few days later leading to the worst clashes between Morsi supporters and critics in months. Following these clashes, Douma was summoned for questioning on accusations of inciting violence, but he refused to turn himself in, questioning the legitimacy of the order by the prosecutor general. A court order recently annulled the presidential appointment of the chief prosecutor, a decision that he plans to appeal.

Douma also was imprisoned under the ousted regime of President Hosni AP Mubarak for criticizing the ex-president’s policies and Activist Ahmed Douma, left, march to Tahrir Square demands prosecution of memfor illegally traveling to the bers of former President Hosni Mubarak’s regime in Cairo, Egypt.

Scientists find potentially life-sustaining planets

APEXCHANGE

This artistic representation of Kepler-62-e and 62-f shows the newly discovered planets’ positions. 62-e is the large planet in the left corner and 62-f is the planet below it.

An international team of astronomers operating in the Kepler mission,stumbled across a triplet of planets more than 2,000 light-years away aptly named the “Goldilocks planets.”

These three planets orbit a star named Kepler-62, and two of them meet the criteria for being possibly life-sustaining planets more than any discovered

before. They are a comfortable distance from their sun and provide rather comfortable, though very different, climates.

William Borucki, chief scientist for NASA’s Kepler telescope, said the planets are slightly bigger than Earth, but not by much.

One of the planets, Kepler62-e, is the warmer of the two – much like a tropical Hawaii climate. Kepler-62-f

is a bit more frosty – similar to Alaska.

Scientists disagree which planet would be more likely to support life. Kepler-62-f would have to develop greenhouse gases to trap the star’s heat, but that’s a strong possibility. Kepler62-e is closer to the star and seems more likely to become habitable, but it would need clouds to cool off, and it would likely be a

water-covered world.

Acceptance and open-mindedness is key in debates molly robinson opinion editor

I was recently given the opportunity to attend a women’s and gender studies class.

Normally this would not be a concern, but after writing an article a couple of weeks ago about my personal issues with the feminist movement, facing a roomful of people who had entirely different opinions from my own suddenly seemed like a nightmare worse than my upcoming organic chemistry final.

I went in part because I was feeling brave, but also because I wanted to learn more about their cause.

You probably already have a guess for where this is going; an opinionated columnist bemoans an is-

DA

sue, learns more about it and undergoes an enlightenment that produces the very article you’re reading now.

Well, dear reader, you would be wrong there.

Although I can say without a doubt I learned a great deal from my experience with the women’s and gender studies students, at the end of our discussion, we determined that both parties had more in common than previously predicted.

While I fully expected to be barraged with facts and figures on women’s issues that quite honestly I wouldn’t have known in the first place, what really took place was an openminded and blatantly honest discussion complete with understanding and acceptance – things I did not expect to receive before

entering the classroom.

I have only been an opinion columnist for two semesters now, but I am well-versed in the negative realm of comments that often accompany my articles.

I read all of them and enjoy hearing feedback, even of the most negative and hurtful forms.

I understand the topics I address often rub people the wrong way, and I’ll admit oftentimes, that is what I set out to do in the first place – though I never have the intention of hurting anyone’s feelings or causing harm in any way.

So I was prepared to deal with positively brutal comments on my article and felt a bit like I was walking into a lion’s den of embarrassment and confusion. But ultimately, my experience was nothing but

positive.

Although at times shocking, I prefer to base my opinion columns less on hard facts and logistics and more on personal morals and feelings. I am not a heartless monster who knocks down feminism, diversity and religion; I just have strong ethical feelings toward each of these subjects (and many more) that I write about every week.

I did not expect to be understood underneath the barrage of anger and resentment I thought would permeate my discussion, but I am happy to report I was wrong.

Because at the end of the day, we found that our end goal was the same: that women and men should be equal.

Although they may focus on ideas I find unhelp-

ful, both myself and the students I had the privilege of speaking with converged on the main goal of feminism, and that is what matters.

I can write 10 more columns about feminism, picking away at every aspect I find positive and negative, but that doesn’t matter. Nor does it matter that I had a slightly different view of the situation than the women’s and gender studies students.

What matters is that we came together and had a pleasant discussion. There was no sense of bitterness that often permeates debates, no feeling of animosity whatsoever.

At the end of the day, there was a certain amount of decency upheld by both parties that allowed our discussion to be mutually

beneficial – something that does not often happen with such a heated topic.

Differ ing opinions should not spark lowblow debates and anger; they should encourage new ideas and different ways of addressing a common problem. Having an open mind about certain topics will ultimately accomplish more than being mean ever could, and that is what I truly learned from my meeting.

My experience with the women’s and gender studies class did have the effect of cluing me in to the drawbacks and illogical parts of my previous article, and for that I am thankful. But, I took away more than facts and figures; I took away a feeling of acceptance that we would all do well to strive for.

Mountaineers still searching for playmakers at receiver

patrick gorrell/the daily athenaeum

West Virginia junior wide receiver Kevin White, left, rushes to the endzone after making a catch in the Gold-Blue Spring Game April 20 at Milan Puskar Stadium.

by michael carvelli sports writer

On a third-down play in the West Virginia football team’s Gold-Blue Spring Game, offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson saw some resemblance to the playmakers the Mountaineers had on offense in 2012.

Junior wide receiver Kevin White caught a screen pass and took a few steps backward to avoid a defender instead of trying for the first down.

He made one WVU defender miss, then danced his way around the rest

Continued from page 8 starting job, the reparations could be far-reaching. They call three a crowd for a reason, and three quarterbacks vying for one position is no different. In fact, if Trick-

of the Mountaineer defense en route to a 41-yard touchdown.

“When he went backward on that, I wanted to choke him,” Dawson said.

“I told him on the sideline – and I always told Tavon this too – ‘I’m all right with you going backward, but you damn well better make sure you get going forward at some point, or it’s going to be bad.’

“Obviously, he was able to make the play, and sometimes, it works out like that. We wanted to see what he could do.”

But while the Mountaineers showed glimpses of

what they could have next season, the coaching staff said there was still a long way to go to get where they need to be next season.

And it’s not going to be an easy task replacing the likes of Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, as well as other key role players like J.D. Woods, who were vital to West Virginia’s dangerous passing game.

“We’ll have guys that can make plays,” said West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen. “Each and every year that we’ve lost great players, the initial reaction is ‘How are we going to score a point?’ And then

other guys step up.”

In the spring, the receivers who garnered the most attention were White, junior Connor Arlia, redshirt sophomore K.J. Myers and sophomore Jordan Thompson.

But like most positions on the Mountaineer offense, this year, the group is very inexperienced.

Among the four of them, they have a combined 22 catches for 137 yards and a touchdown in WVU uniform.

The coaches know it might be a long process to replace the players who were drafted this season.

“We think our offense is simple enough to pick up in a short period of time,” Dawson said. “Everybody’s learning curve is different.

Some kids are high-rep guys who need a lot of time to feel comfortable. Some kids just have a knack for picking things up quick.

“We have the talent ; we’re just not there as far as having just so much inexperience on the field.”

More help is on the way, though, as a few more playmakers at the receiver position are expected to make their way to Morgantown in the next few months.

Holgorsen thinks players like Shelton Gibson, Ronald Carswell, Jacky Marcellus and Mario Alford could step in and contribute quickly in the Mountaineer offense.

“You add those guys into the mix, and there’s going to be a whole bunch of competition (in camp),” Holgorsen said. “Sometimes, it takes a bunch of competition for someone to actually emerge. Those are the guys we’re looking for.

“I just don’t know who they’re going to be.”

ett were named the starter or even the backup, it could mean the end for either Childress or Millard here in Morgantown.

For me, Millard is at more of a risk than the other two.

He’s spent his first two seasons backing up Geno Smith here in Morgantown and, learning the in-

tricacies of Holgorsen’s offense and how to direct traffic efficiently. But Millard’s wall will always be his physical ability. He simply doesn’t have the size or arm strength of a prototypical quarterback.

And now, with Trickett’s arrival, I can’t help but think he’s really just a more

seasoned and experienced version of Millard. Neither has the size or arm strength Childress possesses, and personally, I think Trickett’s game experience will give him a serious edge over Millard.

Sure, Millard probably has the best understanding of the offense at this

point simply because he’s been ensconced in the system for some time now, but I also think he has perhaps the lowest ceiling of all three players.

Conversely, although Childress had also failed to separate to separate himself from Millard in spring practice, it’s easy to see his upside is potentially much greater.

Not only is Childress younger, but his physical weapons are hard to ignore.

Sure, his throws are far from perfect at this point, but it’s obvious that with some more experience and finetuning, his right arm could become a serious weapon when coupled with Holgorsen’s dynamic offensive schemes.

The good news is Trickett’s arrival should only bring out the best in all three players. Each will feel he is capable of being the Mountaineers’ next starting quarterback, and that competition should push each

player closer to his ultimate potential.

The bad news is spring camp has already concluded and the 14-week period of summer is underway. That means the quarterback competition will really need to hit overdrive once fall camp reconvenes, since Holgorsen has already shown how adamant he is about having a starting quarterback named by the season opener on August 31.

That doesn’t leave a whole lot of time for the coaches to evaluate or for the players to demonstrate everything they can do.

Despite the fact it may not be the easiest transition, the addition of Trickett to the existing stable of quarterbacks should ultimately bide positively for the Mountaineers looking ahead to 2013 and it’s second-ever season in the Big 12.

Good luck on

finals!

Zublasing wins Female Athlete of Year after National Championsip

Big 12 championships

Austin claims Male Athlete of Year WVU ready for its first

BY AMIT BATRA

BY KEVIN HOOKER

Editor’s Note: This is the last series of The DA Postseason awards.

Following a superb senior year, The DA’s staff has chosen Tavon Austin the 2012-2013 Male Athlete of the Year. After one of the most historic Mountaineer performances against Oklahoma, a game in which he had 572 all-purpose yards, Austin took his performance to the next level as he received All-American honors for the second consecutive season.

In 2012, Austin was named an All-Purpose Performer of the Year by the College Football Performance Awards Association. The elusive playmaker recorded 288 career receptions for 3,413 yards and 29 touchdowns. In Austin’s senior campaign, the Baltimore, Md., native compiled 17 total touchdowns – 12 receiving, three rushing, a punt return and a kickoff return.

Most recently, Austin was selected eighth overall to the St. Louis Rams in the NFL Draft.

The DA staff decided Geno Smith’s senior campaign was good enough to earn the recently drafted New York Jet second place.

Once considered the Heisman favorite, Smith threw for 4,205 yards, 42 touchdowns and only six interceptions in the 2012 season. Smith also had a completion rate of 71.2 percent for his career. The widely talked-about quarterback threw for 11,662 yards, 98 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.

Some of Smith’s best games were against the Texas Longhorns, Kansas Jayhawks and the Baylor Bears. Against Kansas, the former West Virginia quarterback threw only one incomplete pass on the afternoon.

Coming in third place is Austin’s new NFL teammate, Stedman Bailey. A third-round selection to

The West Virginia track and field team will compete in its inaugural Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championships May 3-5 at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

The Mountaineers will face off against six ranked opponents in the Big 12 – No. 2 Kansas, No. 10 Texas, No. 16 Iowa State, No. 17 Texas Tech, No. 21 Baylor and No. 23 Oklahoma.

“Championship time is always a very special time of the year,” said head coach Sean Cleary in a press release. “This is what the kids train for, and we are anxiously awaiting yet another big test.”

At the Big 12 Indoor Championships in February, the Mountaineers tallied 20.5 points for a 10thplace finish. The No. 5 Jayhawks won the meet with 150.5 points.

While the Mountaineers will face an uphill battle this weekend, Cleary said his team has many goals heading into Texas.

“From the beginning of the year, we have made the number of NCAA qualifiers for Greensboro (North Carolina) our number one priority,” he said. “We are hoping to add another name or two to this trip this coming weekend.”

West Virginia with his two receiving touchdowns.

Female Athlete of the Year West Virginia rifle shooter Petra Zublasing took home The DA’s Female Athlete of the Year following her dominance in the national championships this past season.

Zublasing, one of the top female shooters in the world and an All-American, has risen to the top of rifle in the last few seasons. She was a member of the Italian National Team from 2004-2010 and also competed in the 2012 London Olympics.

In 2011-12, Zublasing was an air rifle champion – the 16th individual national champion for West Virginia.

This year, the Mountaineers won their 15th national championship

with an overall score of 4,679, nine points ahead of Kentucky. Zublasing finished her air rifle competition with a score of 598, and went on to capture her second consecutive air rifle national championship.

The performance followed an individual national championship in smallbore the day before.

Zublasing became the first NCAA shooter to win both individual titles in one weekend since 2001 when Matt Emmons won both titles for Alaska Fairbanks.

Zublasing also became the first WVU shooter to win three individual titles.

Gymnast Kaylyn Millick and women’s soccer forward Frances Silva came in second and third place, respectively.

West Virginia owns nine top-eight marks in the Big 12, with Jordan Hamric, Aubrey Moskal and Sarah Martinelli leading the way in the 3,000-meter steeplechase. Hamric, who holds the school record, sits at No. 3 in the conference with a time of 10:17.58, while Moskal and Martinelli are ranked No. 5 and No. 7, respectively.

The Mountaineers have four field event performances ranked in the conference standings, as well.

Sydney Cummings ranks No. 2 in the high jump with a leap of 1.78 meters, while school record holder Katlyn Shelar comes in at No. 4 in the pole vault. Stormy Nesbit’s triple jump distance ranks No. 3 in the conference, while Heather Adams ranks No. 7 in the hammer throw.

“I feel that we have between 8-10 young ladies that have a chance to put themselves onto the podium,” Cleary said. “This will be a nice improvement from indoors. We knew exactly what we were heading into indoors, as we do now, going into outdoors.

We need to keep working hard and preparing.”

Final results and a recap will be posted on WVUsports.com following competition each day.

Competition will begin 1 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. Saturday and noon Sunday. Live results can be found at deltatiming.com. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

SOONERS SHOWDOWN

The West Virginia baseball team walks off the field during a game against No. 17 Pittsburgh Tuesday night.

MEL MORAES/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

West Virginia looks to move up in Big 12 Conference standings, faces No. 10 Oklahoma

BY CONNOR MURRAY ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR

The West Virginia baseball team will face its biggest test of the season this weekend as it travels to Charleston, W.Va., to face the No. 10 Oklahoma Sooners.

Oklahoma comes into the series with an overall record of 3312 and a Big 12 Conference record of 10-5. The Mountaineers’ record dropped to 27-19 with their loss to Pitt Tuesday and their conference record sits at 9-6.

While Oklahoma has seemed unbeatable at times this year, the Mountaineers draw the Sooners at an opportune time as they have lost back-to-back games against Texas Tech and Dallas Baptist.

Although they did lose their last game, the Mountaineers have won 18 of their last 24 games and will look to keep that momentum going

into the Oklahoma series.

“I feel like, so far, we’ve shown a lot of people what we’re capable of,” said senior right fielder Brady Wilson. “Now that we’re winning, we’ve got to keep winning. We can’t fall down now.”

With their two recent losses, the Sooners’ RPI has dropped to 40.

West Virginia ranks 77 in RPI and is 4-9 against teams with an RPI of 50 or better.

“It’s going to be a tough one, but we’ve battled all year, and we’ve won every Friday night game in the Big 12, so our confidence is sky high right now,” Wilson said. “Our guys are really looking forward to the challenge.”

Oklahoma currently sits atop the Big 12 standings, largely due to the performance of its pitching staff.

As a whole the Sooners’ staff has an earned run average of 2.83.

Oklahoma’s ace, junior pitcher Jonathan Gray, has the lowest ERA among starters in the Big 12 at 1.10.

Friday night’s pitching matchup will likely feature two of the best arms in the Big 12, as Gray will take on West Virginia’s Harrison Musgrave.

Musgrave was recently named Big 12 Pitcher of the Week and comes into the matchup with a 7-1 record and an ERA of 2.36. The lefthander leads the Big 12 with two shutouts this season.

For Oklahoma Gray leads the Big 12 in opponent batting average (.152), strikeouts (98) and wins (8).

“It’s a huge weekend. Oklahoma has great pitchers, a great team and they’re first in the Big 12, but we’re going to go out there and fight,” said sophomore second baseman Billy Fleming. “We’re not going to back down; I can promise

you that. We’re going to go down to Charleston, see if we can get a series from Oklahoma and try and overtake first place.”

Although it may seem Oklahoma has more talent on its roster than the Mountaineers, similar situations haven’t stopped West Virginia from pulling some major upsets against the likes of Texas and Kansas this season.

“We’re going to go out there and try to beat them. We don’t care that there are MLB guys and first-round guys (on Oklahoma’s roster). We’re going to go out there and play as hard as we can and try and give them a run for their money,” Fleming said.

First pitch for Friday’s game is set for 6:30 p.m., Saturday’s game is set to start at 4 p.m., and Sunday’s series finale begins at 1 p.m. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Trickett’s addition brings excitement Just as West Virginia’s current quarterback battle between junior Paul Millard and redshirt freshman Ford Childress finally appeared to be nearing a final phase, everything changed Wednesday afternoon following former Seminole quarterback Clint Trickett’s announcement that he would be joining the fray in less than a month.

Neither Millard nor Childress have been able to separate themselves from the other during the spring, so it’s logical to expect Trickett will have a legitimate shot at the starting job right away once he arrives on campus and fall camp reconvenes.

But that’s just one potential outcome. And with Trickett’s sudden arrival, there could now be a multitude of different scenarios that play out.

First of all, make no mistake Trickett has come to WVU because he ultimately believes he can win the starting position and help the Mountaineers win games right away. Trickett also left Tallahassee and the Seminoles because the writing was basically on the wall that redshirt freshman Jameis Winston would supplant Trickett on the depth chart following E.J. Manuel’s well-documented move to the NFL. Still, Trickett’s intentions or reputation alone won’t earn him the starting job here in Morgantown; he’ll have to demonstrate his ability and worth to head coach Dana Holgorsen and the rest of the offensive staff in fall camp.

But if Trickett does somehow eventually claim the

Many times, a suggestive, clothed romp would occur on the side of the stage and catch your eye, causing fits of laughter from the audience.

Although no photography was allowed, there were many photo opportunities, as the cast often ventured into the audience, swinging their hair fittingly and dancing on platforms.

With a brief, dimly lit scene of the entire cast completely nude before intermission, a variety of curse words and many drug references, the show was not suggested for chil-

This isn’t to say their sound isn’t unique. When you listen to The Greens, you don’t feel like you’re listening to anyone else.

One of the most unique aspects about this Broadway musical is the amount of interaction with the audience. Often, the characters speak directly to the audience, as many other musicals exist only in their own world onstage.

This audience interaction is the thing that makes this show one of the most entertaining I have ever seen.

The familiar song, “Let The Sun Shine In,” tied the show together and ended it on an upbeat note, as audience members were invited to dance onstage.

The entire audience left the theater with smiles on their faces and their hand s forming a peace sign.

show, a unique dynamic was created that sets “Hair” apart from other musicals. The entire group singing together mixed with outstanding solos and some a capella created a magnificent sound.

Laced with sex and drug references and ranging from slow ballads to upbeat, groovy songs, the music was undoubtedly one of the best parts of the show.

The band in the back also had to practice often to perfect so many songs and play in such a dimly lit area. Their true talents were shown as keyboards, guitars, reeds and bass were combined to create a sound truly reflective of the decade.

The Lyell B. Clay Concert Theatre was filled with groovy outfits, long hair and a surprising amount of drug references Wednesday evening as the national tour of the Broadway musical, “Hair” came to town.

Focusing on the issues American youth faced in the 1960s, “Hair” supplied a humorous and entertaining show for the nearly packed theater.

Touching on peace, love, sex, drugs, racial issues, pregnancy and the Vietnam War, the show was easily relatable to the current times.

a handful of touching scenes and a ton of hilarious outbursts, the show evoked many emotions in the audience.

One of the first scenes proved this show would be one of the most fun and outlandish I’d seen. As Berger ripped his pants off and pelvic thrust towards an elderly lady in the front row with only a fringe thong on, laughter roared throughout the theater.

A brightly colored set containing a patterned sunshine and golden stars along with an old camouflage truck with a band atop it lined the back of the stage, setting the 1960s mood.

America’s “troubled youth” doesn’t even begin to describe the group in the show, as they sing songs such as “Sodomy,” “Ain’t Got No Grass” and “Black Boys,” trip often and discuss pot, LSD and threesomes.

‘Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon’ proves a love letter to the ‘80s Jamie Carbone A&E WRITER

Gamers can take on the role of Rex Colt while fighting cyborg soldiers in ‘Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.’

media.edge-online.com

The 1980s were a magical time. Miami Vice was streaming over televisions and movies like “Robocop” and “Terminator” turned science fiction into action flicks everyone could enjoy.

But there were things like leg warmers and hair metal bands, so it wasn’t perfect.

Now, 23 years later, the ‘80s now seem like another world, so developer Ubisoft decide to take the idealized version of this decade and using their “Far Cry 3” engine, turn it into a game that I don’t know if I have the words to describe.

Well, except for “radical” and maybe “tubular.”

Players take on the role of cyber commando Rex Colt – a cyborg soldier with a robot arm and cybernetic eye – who spouts out ridiculous one-liners like he needs them to survive in the far-off future of 2007.

His job is to infiltrate an island that turns out to be full of cyber commando soldiers. He must stop his robotic brothers and save the day with as many guitar solos as possible.

If there was ever a cliche that happened in an action movie, expect it to happen here.

Basically, this game takes all the combat and lush environments from “Far Cry 3” and turns them into robots – robots that want to murder you.

That isn’t to say that Rex can’t hold his own, though.

From being able track enemies with his special eye to throwing shurikens at nearby enemies when the situation calls for it, he is a killing machine.

He also puns all the time.

You might say he’s “punstoppable” (that hurt to write).

It helps that Colt is voiced by “Terminator’s” Michael Biehn, who definitely hams the role up in the best way possible.

The titular blood dragons are a real thing, by the way; it isn’t some secret code name or project. They are giant killing machines who will murder you the first chance they get. The only way they could get more ridiculous is if they rode a skateboard into battle.

The game injects humor into just about everything, from the main plot to the side quests. Even the tutorial menus are bizarre mockeries of what gamers encounter every day.

That may be my only real complaint about the game.

Humor is everywhere, and it doesn’t always hit. I’m not saying it should try and take itself seriously, as nobody could. But honestly, sometimes enough is enough.

Also, the enemies are incredibly resilient in comparison to “Far Cry 3,” which makes sense considering they’re cyborgs, but it doesn’t make it any less frustrating when they don’t go down.

Always aim for the head or, if something is glowing, shoot at that.

When it was announced, I thought “Blood Dragon” was a joke cover for whatever Ubisoft was actually working on, considering it was announced on April Fool’s Day, but I don’t think they could have put out anything more unique than the final product.

Available now for PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, “Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon” needs to be seen to be believed.

I’m honestly not sure that I didn’t dream it up even now.

Meuwlfest to honor late local hip-hop artist

BY NICK WESDOCK A&E WRITER

Morgantown’s fourth annual Meuwlfest will be held at 123 Pleasant Street Saturday night.

For those who aren’t familiar with the event, it is a tribute to the legendary West Virginia hip-hop artist Sam “Meuwl” Harshbarger, who died tragically at the age of 29.

Before his death, Meuwl helped to found a group of musicians, graffiti artists, and skateboarders, Dayone Global Media.

When the series of shows began shortly after Meuwl’s passing, friends and fans from all over the state wanted to introduce his music to those who didn’t know him.

“After Meuwl passed away, we all felt the best way to honor his memory would be to put on a great show once a year,” said Justin Leonard, co-founder of Dayone Global Media. “For all of us that knew him to celebrate his life and share memories with each other, as well as introduce Meuwl’s classics to a new audience, keeping his spirit alive.”

In the years since, Meuwlfest has featured dozens of diverse acts from nearly every genre of music, including punk rock, hip-hop and

even electronic dance music.

“It’s become one of the events every year that many in the West Virginia music scene look forward to – especially all whose lives were touched by Meuwl in one way or another,” Leonard said.

This year’s show will include a video tribute to Meuwl as well as performances by Dinosaur Burps, SoundVizion’s Ace Beanz, Johnny Harmonic, Wilz P and DJ Monstalung, Profit Money, Brain Trauma and more.

“Most of the performers were ‘family’ to Meuwl, so they will definitely be performing with a little piece of Sam inside of them,” said 123 event promoter Adam Payne.

Payne said 123 is excited for this particular show.

“Meuwl was an artist who not only had a city behind him – he had an entire state.

His Eminem-type wittiness always had people anticipating the next comical verse in his lyrics. He was and still is West Virginia hip-hop,” Payne said. “If you aren’t familiar with Meuwl or his music, you won’t feel left out from the event.

“The celebration is as much about hip-hop as it is about Sam himself.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

‘90s rapper Chris Kelly dies at age 34 ATLANTA (AP) — Chris Kelly, half of the 1990s kid rap duo Kris Kross who made one of the decade’s most memorable songs with the frenetic “Jump,” has died, according to authorities. He was 34.

Investigator Betty Honey of the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s office said the 34-year-old Kelly was pronounced dead around 5 p.m. Wednesday at the south campus of the Atlanta Medical Center.

Honey said authorities are unsure of Kelly’s cause of death and that an autopsy has yet to be performed.

Kelly, known as “Mac Daddy,” and Chris Smith, known as “Daddy Mac,” were introduced to the music world in 1992 by music producer and rapper Jermaine Dupri after he discovered the pair in an Atlanta mall. The

duo wore their clothes backwards as a gimmick, but they won over fans with their raps.

Their first, and by far most successful song, was “Jump.”

The hit, off their multiplatinum 1992 debut album “Totally Krossed Out,” featured the two trading versus and rapping the refrain, the song’s title. The duo had surprising maturity in their rap delivery, though the song was written by Dupri. It would become a No. 1 smash in the United States and globally, and one of the most popular of that year.

The group was never able to match the tremendous success of their first song, though they had other hits like “Warm It Up,” and “Tonite’s tha Night.”

Earlier this year, the group performed together to celebrate the anniversary of Durpri’s label, So So Def.
