SGA admins cited for alcohol violations Managing Editor

Two newly appointed West Virginia University Student Government officials are facing underage consumption violations and could be in violation of the SGA election code.

Board of Governors member Renzo Diaz and newly appointed Chief of Staff Samuel Richardson are facing separate liquor law violations.

Diaz, 18, was issued a citation April 26 at 1:43 a.m.

for underage consumption near the Mountainlair parking garage, according to University Police.

Richardson, 19, was arrested May 4 for underage consumption.

According to the SGA code of ethics, “all persons affiliated with SGA shall be expected to abide by all federal, state and local laws. This shall be applicable both oncampus and away from the campus.”

The ethics code further states those found to be in violation “shall immedi-

For many West Virginia University students, summer is a time to catch up on coursework instead of work on their tan, and the Summer Academic Success Institue has been established to help them achieve their goals.

The program is designed for students enrolled Service Learning 293: Introduction to Civic Engagement to have access to tutoring and success coaches.

Bernadette Jungblut, director of assessment and retention, has played a large role in creating the program.

“We know that there are some classes that can be challenging for students and more challenging when you are taking them in a six-week course as compared to a semester,” Jungblut said. “We want to make sure students have the support they need.

During summer 2012, Chemistry 110, 115 and 116 had access to this tutoring,” Jungblut said.

“The chemistry faculty said this tutoring was really helpful. We would like to offer this every summer after seeing the students do well.”

Along with the chemistry classes offered, Math 126A, 126B, 128, 150,153, 154, 155 and Sociology 101 will be included in the program.

The program will also partner with the College of Business & Economics. Joe Seiaman, associate dean of the college, said this is the first summer the business college

cials also said the “alleged actions” of the two are “neither reflective of the character of this administration nor taken lightly.”

The SGA Judicial Board is currently reviewing each allegation and according to the release, will take the appropriate action.

In the release, SGA President Ryan Campione said SGA plans to be proactive on the issue and hopes to work to better educate WVU students about the effects of alcohol.

“By taking proactive

measures, we would like to reassert our commitment to transparency within this administration,” Campione said.

According to the release, SGA plans to work closely with UPD and the student body to increase education.

“In the past semester alone, over 340 students were cited for Liquor Law offenses by the University Police Department. Because of this number, the Student Government Association hopes to work

with the University Police Department to better educate West Virginia University students on the effects of alcohol. We hope that we can use this platform to decrease the number of underage intoxication citations in the upcoming future.”

Campione said he believes the worst thing his administration can do is make a “knee-jerk reaction” to the two cases, and said he plans to take time

According to the WVU SGA constitution, impeachment may occur to any elected or appointed official for maladministration, corruption, violation of the ethics code or dereliction or neglect of duty.

In a release, SGA officials said they are “saddened by the allegations of underage intoxication levied against Diaz and Richardson.”

will directly participate in the program.

The school is going to offer both Accounting and Economics 201 and 202. The 201 courses will be held the first six weeks and the 202 courses will be taught in the second half.

“This is a great opportunity to take a small course section and help students complete the course with available tutoring,” Seiaman said.

“It’s a great way for students to take advantage and do well.”

To have full access to the free tutoring and success coaches, students must enroll in the summer SRVL 293 servicelearning course, which is important to a student’s success, according to Jungblut.

“The success coaches are embedded into this class, and it is an opportunity for students to take place in a hands-on projects in the community,” Jungblut said. “It’s also a way to gain additional resources to be successful in your courses and gain experience that helps you in terms of building a resume.”

Courtney Boland, coordinator of Campus Learning Centers, is in the process of securing tutors and success coaches for the program.

“Right now, we are pretty well-staffed,” she said. “The tutors are undergraduate students, and there are a few recent graduates from the Academic Resource Center.”

University-wide tobacco ban to be implemented July 1

By Carlee Lammers & Celeste Lantz DA STAFF

Effective July 1, the use of tobacco will be prohibited on West Virginia University’s main campus.

The WVU Board of Governors approved the move to a tobacco-free campus in June 2012. This decision came off the heels of a similar decision made by the Health Sciences campus, which enacted its own policy in 2010.

The ban will prohibit to-

bacco use on any premises owned, operated, leased or occupied by WVU. This includes any outdoor areas on campus, parking lots and previously designated smoking areas.

According to the policy, signs posted at vehicular and pedestrian entryways into campus will remind individuals of the University’s tobacco-free movement. The policy will also be posted on appropriate WVU websites.

brought to question the University’s ability to enforce the ban and said they believe students will continue to smoke regardless of the new policy.

“I don’t like the ban because I generally smoke right before or after a test I’m stressed about and not being able to do that will definitely affect my stress levels,” said Jillian Rusnaczyk, a sophomore psychology student. “I feel like people are going to smoke anyway. I know a lot of people who are going to

University community honors former student By jacob Bojesson Staff writer

The bell in Oglebay Plaza rang Friday in memory of fallen West Virginia University freshman, Andrew James Streicher.

Andrew Streicher, an 18-year-old freshman engineering student, committed suicide in his Boreman South residence hall, April 21.

In addition to the Woodburn Hall bells, students and faculty gathered in Oglebay Plaza to serve as a gesture of support for the Streicher family.

“Although his time here with us at WVU and in Morgantown was too short, I know that it was precious time spent for which we are all grateful,” said Kyle Monroe/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM Dean of Students Corey A member of the Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity rings the bell to honor the Farris. life of Andrew Streicher during Friday’s bell-ringing ceremony.

“He will be greatly

missed and West Virginia University is a far better place for his having been a student here.”

Andrew Streicher ’s parents Kevin and Margarita Streicher and older brother Matthew Streicher were present at the bellringing ceremony.

They were handed a certificate on behalf of University President James P. Clements to memorialize Streicher as a member of the academic and student community at WVU. “It was very honorable,” Matthew said.

“I was surprised with the amount of people that showed up to give support.”

Matthew said the past two weeks have been hard on his family, but they have pulled together in order to remain strong in a time of darkness.

“Not many words can really describe how we all feel about Andrew and what has happened,”he said. “It’s been rough – on me, my parents and everyone else around our family, but we’ve stuck together and we’ve been strong.”

Matthew said he will always cherish the 18 years he was fortunate to have with his brother.

“He was the greatest brother anyone could have ever had,” Matthew said. “He was stronger than I was. He used to beat me up sometimes even though I was the older brother.”

Family and friends described Andrew as a person who was always happy and loved Apple products, a company he dreamed of one day working for.

Bobby Titus, a friend

of Andrew and student at WVU, said he will always remember Andrew as the happy person he knew him to be.

“He was just someone that was always there and happy,” Titus aid.

“The ceremony was good, it was needed, I feel.”

In the wake of the tragedy, counseling services were immediately made available to friends of the student and other residents in the hall.

Andrew was born on Nov. 17, 1994.

Funeral services were held April 26.

He was buried in All Souls Cemeter y in Germantown, Md. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Utah cabin finds Cooler weather aids fight against Calif. wildfire uninvited guests: 60,000 bees

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — It was the biggest beehive that that Ogden beekeeper Vic Bachman has ever removed – a dozen feet long, packed inside the eaves of a cabin in Ogden Valley.

“We figure we got 15 pounds of bees out of there,” said Bachman, who said that converts to about 60,000 honeybees.

Bachman was called to the A-frame cabin last month in Eden, Utah. Taking apart a panel that hid roof rafters, he had no idea he would find honeycombs packed 12 feet long, 4 feet wide and 16 inches deep.

The honeybees had been making the enclosed cavity their home since 1996, hardly bothering the homeowners.

The cabin was rarely used, but when the owners needed to occupy it while building another home nearby, they decided the beehive wasn’t safe for their two children. A few bees had found their way inside the house, and the hive was just outside a window of a children’s bedroom.

They didn’t want to kill the

University President James P. Clements said he was inspired by WVU students to work toward implementing the ban, and his main goal is to improve the quality of life on campus.

So they called Bachman, owner of Deseret Hive Supply, a hobbyist store that can’t keep up with demand for honeybees. Bachman used a vacuum cleaner to suck the bees into a cage.

“It doesn’t hurt them,” he said.

The job took six hours. At $100 an hour, the bill came to $600.

“The bees were expensive,” said Paul Bertagnolli, the cabin owner. He was satisfied with the job.

Utah calls itself the Beehive state, a symbol of industriousness. Whether this was Utah’s largest beehive is unknown, but Bachman said it would rank high.

“It’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen,” he said. “I’ve never seen one that big.”

He used smoke to pacify the bees, but Bachman said honeybees are gentle creatures unlike predatory yellow jackets or hornets, which attack, rip apart and eat honeybees, he said. to be a healthy campus, and from a grass-roots effort, a majority of people came out and said ‘Please pass this policy.’”

Smalley said she too believes the new policy will make for a healthier campus.

“I think it’s a good idea.

It will keep the air a little cleaner and fresher for everyone else. It’s really annoying to be walking up a hill and have someone blow cigarette smoke in your face, and start coughing,” she said.

As it is written, the policy does not extend to WVU’s divisional campuses. Clements said his office may extend or amend the policy

CAMARILLO, Calif. (AP) — A big cool-down in weather calmed a huge wildfire burning in Southern California coastal mountains Saturday, and firefighters worked to cut miles of containment lines while conditions were favorable.

High winds and withering hot, dry air were replaced by the normal flow of damp air off the Pacific, significantly reducing fire activity.

“The fire isn’t really running and gunning,” said Tom Kruschke, a Ventura County Fire Department spokesman.

The 43-square-mile blaze at the western end of the Santa Monica Mountains was 56 percent surrounded.

The progress made led authorities to lift evacuation orders for residences in several areas.

The humidity level rose so much that an overnight effort to burn away fuel at one section of the fire did not work well, Kruschke said.

Nearly 2,000 firefighters using engines, bulldozers and aircraft worked to corral the blaze.

Firefighting efforts were focused on the fire’s east side, rugged canyons that

The National Weather Service said an approaching low pressure system would bring a 20 percent chance of showers Sunday afternoon, with the likelihood increasing into the night and on Monday.

“Anything we get is going to help us,” Kruschke said.

The change in the weather was also expected to bring gusty winds to some parts of Southern California, but well away from the fire area.

Despite its size and speed

of growth, the fire that broke out Thursday and quickly moved through neighborhoods of Camarillo Springs and Thousand Oaks has caused damage to just 15 homes, though it has threatened thousands.

The fire also swept through Point Mugu State Park, a hiking and camping area that sprawls between those communities and the ocean. Park district Superintendent Craig Sap told the Ventura County Star (http://bit.ly/18CKxY4) that two old, unused ranch-

“One of the things we ran on, and was a cornerstone in our campaign, was transparency. The most important thing is that we’re being proactive and dealing with the situation, rather than just letting it take care of himself,” he said.

“We can’t ignore it. We’d be foolish if we did. What sets us apart from any previous administration is how we handle it from here.”

Red Shoe Run 5k gives back to local Ronald McDonald House

By Samuel Bosserman Correspondent

People from all over the Morgantown area came together at Marilla Park on Decker’s Creek Trail early Saturday morning for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Morgantown’s 4th annual 5k Red Shoe Run. The Red, which was approximately 3.5 miles long started at 8 a.m. The trail at Decker’s Creek proved to be a great location and provided a great atmosphere for the event.

Participants included University students, as well as parents running with their children.

Zach McWhirt, a junior political science student, said he was excited to participate in the run.

“It should be pretty fun; I’m excited and am ready for the race to start,” McWhirt said.

While the event was designed to involve the community in the efforts of the Ronald McDonald House, it also aimed to raise funds

for the charity.

The mission of the Ronald McDonald House is to help parents with children who are ill by providing them a place to stay close to the hospital when they may otherwise not able to afford to do so.

Katie Wertz, Ronald McDonald House development director, said she was extremely appreciative of the support of the local community.

“All the money that comes from this goes to providing for the families, paying utilities, bringing in food, and in general keeping the house running,” Wertz said.

Wertz said she was pleased with the level of turnout to the event.

“We had over 100 people pre-registered and more people stopped by to register on site this morning,” she said.

The event featured corporate sponsorships with United Bank of Morgantown, Oliverio’s, Kroger and Mylan Pharmaceuticals, among many others.

Jaren McCrae, a junior advertising and business administration student, said having previously volunteered with the Ronald McDonald House, he understood the importance of the work they do.

McCrea said he feels these type of charity events are an easy but effective way to help out in the community.

“It gives back (to the community), it was a 20 dollar registration fee per adult, so that adds up and in turn helps them out,” he said.

Following the end of the adult race, children had an opportunity to show off their speed in a friendly kids-only race.

Pepperoni roll sale to Solar plane lands in Ariz., 1st leg of major trip benefit Appalachian Prison Book Project Editor’s note: In the interest of full disclosure, Carol Fox was recently appointed to serves as the APBP’s treasurer.

By Carol fox Staff Writer

The Appalachian Prison Book Project Student Group is cushioning the blow of finals week with the new official state food of West Virginia – the pepperoni roll.

APBP will hold a bake sale today 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the Beechurst PRT station. They will be selling homemade pepperoni rolls, chocolate chip cookies and soft drinks, to provide a tasty homemade lunch for students during finals week.

APBP has grown from a 2004 graduate English class project at WVU to a 501c3 non-profit organization, which has sent over 10,000 books to men and women in prisons in six Appalachian states.

The club receives approximately 80 request letters per week.

Mark Brazaitis, WVU English professor, said programs with educational aims, such as this one, have been linked to reducing recidivism rates.

“There are more than 7,000 men and women incarcerated in West Virginia alone, and most of them are living with few resources by which to better their lives,” he said.

“Books are food for the soul and the intellect.”

The organization’s funds are used to buy new supplies and postage. These

funds come from grants and other grass-roots efforts like the bake sale.

The organization has come up with innovative and entertaining fundraising efforts this year, including a rock ‘n’ roll fundraiser held last semester.

“Pepperoni rolls are a great brain food because they contain all the best food groups: bread and meat,” said John Casey, a supporter of APBP and member of Best Friends, one of the local bands that played at the benefit concert.

Many students will survive the stressful finals week on junk food, but Monday’s sale will provide some home-cooked nutrition to boost morale and productivity.

Not only will the organization be selling pepperoni rolls, but it will also sell homemade chocolate chip cookies and refreshing drinks.

“What says, ‘West Virginia’ more than pepperoni rolls? Pepperoni rolls on the PRT supporting a non-profit organization born in West Virginia,” said Mari Casey, fundraising chair for the APBP Student Group.

As students scurr y from exam to exam, they will be able to take a moment and enjoy a home-cooked meal that supports a great cause.

PHOENIX (AP) — Alone in the single-seat cockpit and high above the American Southwest, pilot Bertrand Piccard could hear only his plane’s gear box and the quiet whine of four electric motors. No noisy jet engines.

He’s flying Solar Impulse, considered the world’s most advanced sun-powered plane.

Piccard piloted the craft for 20 hours, first cruising along the California coast after taking off from Moffett Field in Mountain View near San Francisco just after dawn Friday. He passed over Edwards Air Force Base, where other aviation milestones have been made, and then touched down early Saturday morning at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.

He landed having used only three-quarters of the plane’s battery power.

“It’s a little bit like being in a dream,” Piccard said as he stepped on the tarmac.

The plane’s creators, Piccard and fellow pilot Andre Borschberg, said the trip is the first attempt by a solar airplane capable of flying day and night without fuel to fly across America.

But Piccard said Saturday afternoon that even more important than marking another aviation milestone is the hope that the journey will provide an exponential boost for interest in renewable energy and clean technologies.

“If an airplane can fly day or night with no fuel, just on the sun’s power, of course it means that everybody in daily life can use this technology for his house, for heating and cooling systems, for lighting, for cars, for trucks.

There’s so much we can do now to have a cleaner future,” Piccard said.

From Phoenix, the aircraft will travel to Dallas-Fort Worth airport in Texas, Lambert-St. Louis airport, Dulles airport in the Washington area and New York’s John F. Kennedy airport. Each flight leg will take about 19 to 25 hours, with 10-day stops in

AP

Solar Impulse co-founder, pilot and CEO Andre Borschberg greets pilot Bertrand Piccard at Sky Harbor International Airport each city.

Borschberg is hoping to pilot the last leg, which could afford him the chance to fly past the Statue of Liberty.

The plane, which has previously impressed audiences in Europe, is powered by about 12,000 photovoltaic cells that cover massive wings and charge its batteries.

The delicate, single-seat Solar Impulse flies around 40 mph and can’t go through clouds. It weighs about as much as a car, making it vulnerable to bad weather.

Its average speed for the first leg of the trip was about 60 knots with a tail wind, Borschberg said.

SGA under fire for breach of ethics

Mel Moraes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Members of The Revolution react to the 2013-14 election results in March. Governor Renzo Diaz, second from right, was cited for underage consumption April 26.

On April 26, Student Government Association Governor Renzo Diaz was arrested for underage alcohol consumption. Less than one week later, on May 4, newly appointed Chief of Staff Samuel Richardson was arrested for underage alcohol consumption. As of time of print, no disciplinary actions have been taken against either member of SGA. In a conversation with DA staff members Sunday night, Student Body President Ryan Campione said the members of the SGA Judicial Board are taking the steps necessary to find out the facts and determine the next course of action for the incidents.

“One of the cornerstones of our campaign has been transparency and changing what SGA has been,” he said.

Campione also said he wasn’t made aware about

the alleged actions of Governor Renzo until the alleged actions of Richardson were brought to his attention, more than a week after their occurrence.

He said he encouraged transparency within his own staff, and they were to inform him as soon as possible about breaches of ethics such as these. Campione claimed there was some “miscommunication” among the governors about the alleged actions of Diaz and Richardson.

There are more problems than simple breach of ethics if the SGA members can’t communicate to each other what has been on public record for days about one of their own.

President Campione said the next step will be for the Judicial Board to meet with Jonathon Storage, chief justice of the Judicial Board, to decide what the next step might

be: a hearing before the board regarding the violation to decide whether to push through to the Attorney General to enforce punishment. Punishment ranges from a simple reprimand to full impeachment, and Campione said there has been no precedent set for this type of behavior.

It it literally up to the Board of Governors to decide what punishment, if any, is given to Chief of Staff Richardson and Governor Diaz.

While The DA staff applauds President Campione for his cooperation with the press and his push for transparency, this is just one more in a long string of embarrassing incidents that tarnish both the reputation of SGA and the University.

In what appeared to be an attempt to justify the actions of their members, the press release for the inci-

dent from SGA stated “In the past semester alone, over 340 students were cited for Liquor Law offenses at the University Police Department,” as if that somehow excuses the number of which have occurred within SGA in the past – as if any of those 340 were representatives of the student body and the University as whole.

It would appear to The DA staff some members of SGA don’t take their post as seriously as President Campione.

In 2011, former SGA vice-president Megan Callaghan ran over a “Do not enter” sign with her car after a WVU football game.

A Breathalyzer registered her blood alcohol level at 0.233. The legal limit in West Virginia is 0.08.

The SGA administration at the time were reluctant to force her resignation. Eventually, Callaghan

bowed to pressure and handed in her resignation.

Former President Jason Bailey said he considered the matter a “personal issue.”

“This is an internal SGA issue – not a University issue,” he said in a Sept. 12, 2011 issue of The Daily Athenaeum. “It has not affected anything that goes on within SGA.” President Campione said the issue at hand now with Governor Diaz and Chief of Staff Richardson will affect all of SGA and he will work with his administration and the University Police Department to promote education about safe alcohol consumption.

He said violations such as these by students affect our image as a school and something needs to be changed.

“If you continue to punish and write citations, nothing is going to hap-

pen,” he said.

More widespread alcohol education is a great idea; however, there have been plenty of efforts made on the part of the University to discourage underage drinking and the effects of too much alcohol consumption over the years. Yet, there have been two violations within the SGA in as many weeks.

The members of SGA are obviously held to a higher standard than the average West Virginia University student, so their punishment must be harsher to reflect that.

With so many breaches of ethics under its belt, SGA should consider strict policies specifically for alcohol violations as a breach in the code of ethics.

They clearly won’t be going away anytime soon. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The recent resurgence of bands such as Nirvana and Third Eye Blind may be due to a nostalgic craving for the nineties.

Nineties nostalgia is more mind than matter DAVID PERRY COLUMNIST

One popular feature of the DA’s Arts and Entertainment section is Throwback Thursday, which highlights a popular band, movie or trend from the ‘90s. The fact that such a section exists is just a symptom of the relatively recent craze for all things ’90s, from cartoons to one-hit wonders. The general consensus among most people my age is that everything from the ‘90s is much better than everything we have today. But how much of this assertion is based in reality?

Obviously it’s impossible to have a completely objective stance about the mer-

DA

its of each era’s contribution when discussing popular culture, but it’s worthwhile to examine the reasons behind our collective celebration of the past – specifically our generation’s past.

The first thing to remember is that only the best aspects of an era survive in our collective consciousness. Nirvana planted the flag for grunge in the early ‘90s and inspired many similar sounding bands, but the only band that gets remembered from that genre is Nirvana because they did it best.

This general principle can be applied to anything else from the ‘90s. For every Toy Story, there’s a Small Soldiers. For every Backstreet Boys, there’s an O-Town.

For every Space Jam, there’s a Kazaam.

Given enough time, all the cultural sins of an era are washed away, so have no fear! All the bands and movies you love to hate will be lost to the ravages of time eventually, and when your kids reminisce about how awesome the 2010s were, you can conveniently forget about the existence of Justin Bieber and the Wolverine prequel.

Another key to revealing the true nature of the ’90s is remembering that when you play your Third Eye Blind Pandora radio station, they have an entire decade to pull tracks from, whereas most radio stations that play Top 40 hits are restricted to one or two years of new mu-

sic. So it’s no surprise that given a wider selection of music to choose from, the quality of music you hear will be better.

It doesn’t help that you form your strongest attachments to music and movies when you’re in your early teens. After you reach the age of 15 or 16, everything new you listen to pales in comparison to what you’ve heard or seen before.

Daniel J. Levitin, a psychologist who studies the effect of music on the human brain, postulated that because that age is around same age you begin to socialize and develop your identity, the music that you listen to during that time is bonded to that identity and takes on more importance.

Going back and reviewing some of the things you were interested in during the ‘90s can help disabuse you of your nostalgia. Growing up, I watched Angry Beavers on Nickelodeon. One night, a couple of friends and I found the complete show on Netflix.

After watching an episode, I wondered why I found that show so entertaining as a child. There are some shows that just lose their luster after a repeat viewing as an (almost) adult.

It’s silly to make the assertion that shows that you watched as a child are so much better than what kids are watching today when you are too old to follow children’s television regularly. Because I have friends

with younger brothers and sisters, I have been exposed to a fair amount of children’s television. Most of it is bad, but there are a couple of subversive and entertaining cartoons like Adventure Time and Regular Show. When my friend’s brothers and sisters grow up, they will make the assertion that their shows were better based on the strength of those two shows, and forget about all the other bad TV they watched during that time.

I’m not trying to ruin your childhood, I swear, but it’s worth looking back and critically evaluating the ‘90s for what they really were: just another decade. It just happens to be the decade that matters the most to you.

DAILY HOROSCOPES

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you open up to new concepts. Know that you can’t fight city hall, but you can let go of rigidity and choose to look at other ideas. If you are single, you are likely to attract someone quite unusual yet dynamic. Regardless of whether this bond is long-term, you will gain from the contact you have with this person. If you are attached, the two of you could benefit from taking an exciting trip that you have been discussing for a long time. ARIES tests your patience.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH The unexpected happens, and it adds excitement to your week.

You might want to try to gain more control. You also might want to learn to trust your own abilities instead of resisting change. Remain secure, and know where you are headed. Tonight: Accept what is.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) H HHH Much that is happening around you is vague. You could feel as if someone is whispering in your ear. How you deal with a situation could change dramatically if you can get the hard facts.

Pull back and listen more. Try to figure out what is really happening. Tonight: Not to be found.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH You have pushed hard to accomplish a lot. It is clear that you can’t take a shortcut and still achieve the same outcome. A partnership often tests your commitment. You might want to come to terms with the fact that interaction is part of the bond. Tonight: Dinner for two.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You say the right words and charge your inner circle with ideas. Your perception could be off, in that you might see things only from your point of view. A discussion could become overwhelming. You find that a child or loved one could be sassy. Tonight: Kick back.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You might want to rethink how you react to unexpected events. You’ll be reminded that you have no control over anything but yourself. Situations like these center you, and they also allow you to see life from a different perspective. Tonight: Let your imagination roam.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Look at what is happening behind the scenes with a key associate. This person might choose not to reveal much at first. Be patient with him or her, and your understanding will grow. The two of you will become closer as a result. Tonight: Opt for togetherness.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Defer to others, and watch what happens as a result. You might seem incapable of clearing up a personal matter. Consider rethinking a choice you made if you feel pushed by a family member. Support yourself more often in what feels right to you. Tonight: Say “yes” to an offer.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH You could feel out of sorts and unable to get a firm grasp on a situation that is impacting your daily life. What you can be sure of is that you are not getting the big picture. Lighten up when dealing with a controlling person. Tonight: Get some extra R and R.

A finals survival guide

AP

The University at Buffalo is helping students cope with stress during final exam week by bringing in therapy dogs, soothing music, chair massages and other relaxation techniques.

It’s the most terrible time of the year for students, when studies about stress levels are published, bad decisions are made, and gorging on junk food and caffeine seem like the most logical choices for students with too much to do and too little time to get it all done.

Although it’s undoubtedly a trying period, that doesn’t mean you have to have a mini-meltdown the night before your first final or experience a panic attack just watching those TAs hand out the exam.

Follow some of the rules that have gotten DA staff members through many semesters of finals and you’ll be at top-notch performance level when you walk into that exam.

1. Pace yourself

The only thing more stressful than not getting all your work done in time is not knowing exactly how much time and effort should be spent studying for an exam or working on a final project. Combat this by creating a study plan that runs throughout the time period available and, most importantly, is realistic.

Attempting to master three subjects in one day is not only impossible, it’ll just make your studying experience less effective in the long haul. And while we’re on the topic of effectiveness…

2. Breaks are just as important as actual studying Everyone says that taking a break is an imperative part of the studying process, but often a break

turns into hours of time wasted on trashy television or social media websites until suddenly it’s midnight and you still have a whole chapter to read. Try using the Pomodoro method instead, which is essentially blocking out your studies into twenty-five minute increments with five minutes in between to fill with all the internet memes or Youtube videos you want. After the five minutes is up, get back to work for the next twenty-five. It’s an effective way to give your brain the break it deserves while simultaneously getting the work done.

3. Rewrite your notes Although it can seem daunting to rewrite all your notes from the past semester, studies have shown writing ideas and figures

longhand actually helps us retain knowledge, presumably because it’s such a time-consuming practice.

Furthermore, when rewriting your notes, you are not only rereading the material but have the opportunity to piece together ideas from different sections of your notes that may come in handy when it comes to exam time.

4. Figure out what does and doesn’t work for you Many proclaim the wonders discussed in group study sessions, but all I’ve found in these situations is procrastination, distraction and little accomplished overall. For some, however, group studying is the best way to master difficult conceptual material.

So, know your personality and solo-studying hab-

its before embarking on a different study method in order to increase your studying efficiency.

If you have great rote memorization skills, hit the flashcards. If you’re an artist at heart, draw out big ideas and funnel them into small concepts. Determining the best method for yourself is often a trialand-error process, so make sure to test yourself to see which type of method allows you to retain the most info.

5. Be prepared We don’t just mean know the material. Know exactly when and where your final exam will be. Know what will and won’t be on the exam, and (if possible) the general format of the test.

Make sure you bring the requisite pencils, pens, cal-

Nerd no longer negative

culators, study guides, IDs or whatever you need and then bring extras of those.

Eat something beforehand, because your brain can get foggy if you don’t. Also use the bathroom, because stress can have awful effects on your metabolism.

6. Chill out You can be the most prepared student in the class, but often stress and anxiety can be a huge contributor to low grades. Visualizing yourself doing well on the exam, meditating beforehand and doing deepbreathing exercises are all tried-and-true methods to reducing test-taking anxiety and promote brain function so that visualization can come true. Besides, no matter how your finals turn out, summer is only a few days away.

Tarif haque the crimson white

I wasn’t particularly popular in grade school.

Consumed with academics, I disengaged from the social hierarchy, not consciously, but because there were always other things to worry about. I floated around the social ladder but never stayed on one rung too long.

In grade school, there were fewer social niches to inhabit, and accruing popularity points was a fulltime job. In middle and high school, everyone was keenly aware of where everyone else fit in the social landscape, and they were lying if they told you otherwise. Everyone was dying to reach an imaginary social ideal built by the students.

Perception was everything.

College has been a breath

MASTERSINIT.ORG

Being a ‘nerd’ in college no longer has the same stereotype that it did inmiddle school. of fresh air for me. I have many friends who classify themselves as nerds, and they all seem to report the

same feelings: The majority of grade school was a criminal waste of time and a frustrating crapshoot.

College is less isolating, more rewarding, and generally a better place to be.

Of course, there was the occasional teacher who made things worthwhile but, in general, the monotony of American schools brings no end in misery for the classic nerd.

For the nerd, selfachievement is everything. In his 2003 essay “Why Nerds are Unpopular,” Paul Graham explains that nerds don’t just want to be smart and do well in school. “[I wanted] to de-

sign beautiful rockets, or to write well, or to understand how to program computers. In general, to make great things.”

“You have no idea the hell I climbed out of to come here,” an acquaintance humored me on his admission to the Computer-Based Honors Program at Alabama. He was a quirky, intelligent guy whom I often spotted eating alone in the dining halls my freshman year.

He was a natural introvert, and he liked it. He could

do what he pleased in college, pursuing a major he loved within a culture that rewarded difference and ingenuity.

There is more of an incentive to be a hard-working, motivated, intellectually engaged, self-directed student in college. “Nerd” is no longer a derogatory term. Preferring knowledge to social dominance is not a bad thing. For the nerds, it does get better. You just have to wait it out and have enough self-confidence to find your niche.

5 women die in limo fire on Calif. bridge

AP

San Mateo County firefighters and California Highway Patrol personnel investigate the scene of a limousine fire on the westbound side of the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge in Foster City, Calif., Saturday.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A limousine taking nine women to a bachelorette party erupted in flames, killing five of the passengers, including the brideto-be, authorities and the mother of one of the survivors said Sunday.

The limo caught fire at around 10 p.m. Saturday on one of the busiest bridges on San Francisco Bay, California Highway Patrol officer Art Montiel told The Associated Press.

Five of the women were trapped, but the four other women managed to get out after the vehicle came to a stop on the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge, the patrol said.

Rosita Guardiano told the San Francisco Chronicle that the woman for whom the bachelorette party was being thrown was to be married next month.

Guardiano said her daughter was one of the survivors.

Investigators haven’t determined what sparked the

fire, but the patrol said the white stretch limo became engulfed in flames after smoke started coming out of the rear of the vehicle.

A photo taken by a witness and broadcast on KT VU-T V showed flames shooting from the back.

Aerial video shot after the incident showed about one-third of the back half of the limousine had been scorched by the fire. Its taillights and bumper were

gone and it appeared to be resting on its rims, but the remainder of the vehicle didn’t appear to be damaged.

The driver of the limo – 46-year-old Orville Brown of San Jose – was the only person to escape unhurt.

It wasn’t clear if any other drivers on the bridge stopped and tried to help those get out, or how the driver managed to escape without injury.

All five women were pro-

nounced dead at the scene.

Autopsies were being conducted, San Mateo County Supervising Deputy Coroner Michelle Rippy said.

The company that operated the limo was identified as Limo Stop, which offers service through limousines, vans and SUVS. A telephone message left at the company seeking comment by The Associated Press wasn’t immediately returned. Attempts to reach the driver were also

unsuccessful.

Guardiano said her daughter – 42-year-old Mary Grace Guardiano of Alameda – was being treated for smoke inhalation.

The three other women who escaped the fire, Jasmine Desguia, 34, of San Jose; Nelia Arrellano, 36, of Oakland; and Amalia Loyola, 48, of San Leandro, were taken to hospitals to be treated for smoke inhalation and burns, the patrol said.

Soccer referee punched by player in Utah dies MURRAY, Utah (AP) — Ricardo Portillo’s daughters had begged him to stop refereeing in a soccer league because of the growing risk of violence from angry players.

Now they’re faced with planning his funeral after he succumbed to injuries late Saturday that had put him in a coma for a week since a 17-year-old goalie punched him in the head.

Authorities say the teen punched Portillo after the youth was called for a foul and issued a yellow card.

“The suspect was close to Portillo and punched him once in the face as a result of the call,” Unified police spokesman Justin Hoyal said in a statement.

The suspect has been booked into juvenile detention on suspicion of aggravated assault. Hoyal said authorities will consider additional charges since the 46-year-old Salt Lake City man has died.

Hoyal said an autopsy is planned. No cause of death was released.

Portillo suffered swelling in his brain and had been listed in critical condition, Dr. Shawn Smith said Thurs-

day at the Intermountain Medical Center in the Salt Lake City suburb of Murray.

The victim’s family spoke publicly of Portillo’s plight this past week, but has asked for privacy, Hoyal said.

The unaffiliated soccer league, Liga Continental de Futbol, updated its Facebook posting Sunday with a tribute to Portillo including a number of photographs of him refereeing and playing soccer. It also set up a bank account to accept donations for his family. No plans have been announced for a funeral or memorial services.

Mario Vazquez, the league president who also was a friend and worked with Portillo, said Sunday everyone in the league had the greatest respect for him.

“We will miss him at the soccer fields. He loved the game and loved doing his job. Ricardo always had a great sense of humor and loved being in the service of others,” Vazquez said.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the Portillo family during this difficult time. Ricardo will always be with us,” he said.

Daughter Johana Portillo, 26, said last week that she

wasn’t at the April 27 game in the Salt Lake City suburb of Taylorsville, but she said she’s been told by witnesses and detectives that the player hit her father in the side of the head.

“When he was writing down his notes, he just came out of nowhere and punched him,” she said. She did not immediately respond to a text message request for comment The Associated Press sent her on Sunday.

Accounts from a police report, Portillo’s daughter and others offer further detail what occurred.

The teenager was playing goalie during a game at Eisenhower Junior High School in Taylorsville when Portillo issued him a yellow card for pushing an opposing forward trying to score.

In soccer, a yellow card is given as a warning to a player for an egregious violation of the rules. Two yellow cards lead to a red card and expulsion from the game.

The teenager, quite a bit heavier than Portillo, began arguing with the referee, then punched him in the face. Portillo seemed fine at first, then asked to be held because he felt dizzy.

Johana Portillo and her sister Ana Portillo hold hands while during a news conference Thursday.

Car bomber kills seven in Somali capital

AP

Somali security force members carry away a wounded civilian following a suicide car bomb blast in the capital Mogadishu, Somalia Sunday.

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Seven people were killed Sunday morning when a suicide bomber attempted to ram a car laden with explosives into a military convoy escorting a four-member Qatari delegation.

Gen. Garad Nor Abdulle, a senior police official said the members of the Qatari delegation who were being escorted in the interior minister’s convoy were unharmed and safely reached their hotel.

Abdulle said the interior minister was not in the convoy.

Mohamed Abdi, an officer at the scene of the blast, said four civilians and a soldier died immediately. Another two people died in hospital and 18 were being treated of wounds from the blast, said Dr. Duniya Mohamed Ali at the Medina hospital.

The Qatari delegates are involved in development projects in Mogadishu, Somali president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said.

Mohamud blamed alQaida-linked Somali militant group al-Shabab for the attack.

He said “suspects” have been arrested.

After the explosion soldiers fired in the air to disperse crowds that had gathered at the blast site at the busy KM4 junction.

Separately, four Somali soldiers were wounded Sunday when a roadside bomb struck a government vehicle in Deynile district, in Mogadishu’s northwest, said Ali Jimale, a captain with the Somali police.

The Somali government reopened key roads in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, four days ago which had

been closed for security reasons. The roads were closed after the government received intelligence that militants were planning attacks, officials said.

KM4 is among the busiest roads in Mogadishu, largely used by government officials and African Union forces. It connects the presidential compound and other government offices to the airport.

The car bombing falls into a pattern of attacks blamed on the Islamic extremist group al-Shabab, which has been pushed out of much of the areas it occupied in South and Central Somalia

by African Union troops.

Condemning Sunday’s attack, the U.N. representative to Somalia, Augustine P. Mahiga said cowardly and senseless acts of violence will not undermine the re-

markable progress Somalia has made in the past months.

“Attacks against civilians are never justifiable. I call on all parties to renounce violence and contribute positively to peace and stability,” he said.

The British government condemned the attack through its Minister for Africa Mark Simmonds.

He said incidents such as these demonstrate the importance of the Federal Government of Somalia and international partners working together to combat violent extremism in Somalia.

Next week’s Somalia Conference in London, cohosted by the British and the Federal Government of Somalia will provide international support to help build Somali capacity to increase peace and stability, said Simmonds.

Al-Shabab once controlled almost all of Mogadishu. African Union and Somali forces pushed the radical rebels out of the city in 2011, but the fighters have continued to carry out bomb attacks.

Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for an attack on Somali’s Supreme Court last month that killed 35, including nine attackers.

Somalia’s prime minister said that several experienced foreign fighters took part in attack on the Supreme Court, the most serious Islamic extremist attack on Mogadishu in years, while other officials indicated the explosive devices were more advanced than normal, a possible indication of greater involvement by al-Qaida. The attack included six suicide bombings and two car bombs.

Al-Shabab boasts several

hundred foreign fighters, including some from the Middle East with experience in the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. Al-Shabab also recruits fighters from Somali communities in the United States and Europe.

In March, an explosivesfilled car targeting a truck of government officials hit a civilian car and exploded, setting a mini-bus on fire and killing at least seven.

Somalia has not had a functioning government since 1991 when warlords overthrew longtime dictator Siad Barre and turned on each other, plunging the impoverished nation into chaos.

President Mohamud was elected by parliament in October at the end of the eightyear U.N.-backed transitional government.

In Pakistan town, men have spoken: No women vote MATEELA, Pakistan (AP) — For decades, not a single woman in this dusty Pakistani village surrounded by wheat fields and orange trees has voted. And they aren’t likely to in next week’s parliamentary election either. The village’s men have spoken.

“It’s the will of my husband,” said one woman, Fatma Shamshed. “This is the decision of all the families.”

Mateela is one of 564 out of the 64,000 polling districts across Pakistan where not a single woman voted in the country’s 2008 election.

The men from this village of roughly 9,000 people got together with other nearby communities to decide that their women would not vote on May 11 either.

Next week’s election will bring a major first for democracy in Pakistan – the first time a civilian government has fulfilled its term and handed over power to another. But women still face an uphill battle to make their voices heard in the political process, as voters, candidates and in parliament, where they hold 22 percent of the seats in the lower house.

Women represent only about 43 percent of the roughly 86 million registered voters, according to election commission data.

In more conservative areas like Khyber Paktunkhwa province and Baluchistan, the percentage drops even further.

In places like Mateela, the fact that men decide women should not be allowed to vote is a decadesold tradition. Some men say women don’t have the mental capacity. Other times they don’t want wives and daughters to leave the house. Some simply don’t see the point.

At a recent gathering in the village, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of

Islamabad, activists tried to encourage the opposite.

The Association for Gender Awareness & Human Empowerment, an independent group working to increase voter participation, met with residents, trying to encourage them to let women vote.

Mateela’s men sat with male activists in a courtyard near the village mosque. Secluded behind a gate, the women sat on a concrete floor and listened to a female activist talk about the benefits of voting.

Yar Mohammed, one of the village elders, insisted it isn’t a matter of discrimination. The problem, he said, is that the local polling station is mixed gender. The men worry that their wives and daughters will be harassed, so they want a separate women’s station. In some places, but not all, polls are specified for men or women only.

“We stop our women from going to polling stations because we think if they do, men would tease them by staring or touching them,” he said.

Mateela’s women certainly want a political voice.

They talk of their desire to see better roads, schools where their daughters can get an education and a reliable supply of gas for cooking and heating.

They don’t directly defy their fathers and husbands – but they do lobby them to change their minds.

One resident, Mohammed Shamshed, said the women in his family “come up to us and say, ‘We want to vote.’”

“But we tell them that it is a collective decision,” he said.

Rubina Arshad said things are slowly starting to change as men and women become more educated. “This is the tradition and the culture, from many, many years ago.

We could not cast the vote,” she said.

Another deterrent to women voting has been that many don’t have the proper identification card, called a CNIC card. Historically, many men in conservative areas haven’t seen the need to send their wives or daughters to get the ID card or haven’t wanted to pay for it.

But activists say that has begun to change in recent years — in large part because it makes more financial sense for men. Poor women who want to receive money through the Benazir Income Support Program, a government plan to give money to poor people, need a valid ID card. And many programs that give out aid to flood victims or people displaced in fighting in the tribal areas also require an ID card.

“These two have tremendously enhanced the registration of women,” said Muddassir Rizvi, CEO of the Islamabad-based Free and Fair Election Network. “If they see an advantage of a relationship with the state, then they agree to things.”

There are other encouraging signs as well, with more women competing in the elections.

In Pakistan, 60 of the 342 seats in the lower house of parliament, known as the National Assembly, are reserved for women. They are handed out to parties in proportion to how they do in the overall race, so women don’t have to campaign publicly for them. But women can also run for the general seats, in competition with men on the campaign trial.

In 2008, 64 women ran for general seats and 18 made it to the parliament.

This year, the number of women contesting general seats has jumped to 161, out of a total of 4,671 candidates, according to data provided by U.N. Women, which focuses on women’s empowerment and gender issues.

Making Morgantown a baseball town

Mel Moraes/The Daily Athenaeum

The West Virginia baseball team won two of three games against Oklahoma this weekend and is now tied for first place in the Big 12 standings.

West Virginia baseball takes two from Oklahoma, earns a share of first place in Big 12

By Kevin Hooker Sports Writer

The West Virginia baseball team won its third straight Big 12 Conference series with a 9-6 win against No. 10 Oklahoma Sunday afternoon.

The Mountaineers won two of the three games and improved to 29-20 overall and 11-7 in Big 12 play. The team is now tied with Kansas State and Oklahoma for No. 1 in the Big 12. Since 2000, the Mountaineers have finished fourth or better just two times in conference play.

This is the second conference series loss of the year

for the Sooners, and the first time they’ve lost two straight in a three-game series. “(This feeling) is going to have to sink in a little bit,” said head coach Randy Mazey in a press release after Sunday’s series-clinching win. “We told the guys before the game that they put themselves in a position to win this (series).”

Despite out-hitting the Mountaineers 16-11, the Sooners committed four costly errors to WVU’s one.

Right fielder Brady Wilson, left fielder Jacob Rice, third baseman Ryan Tuntland and first baseman Ryan McBroom each had two hits

3

for the Mountaineers. McBroom had 5 RBIs in all and hit his tenth home run of the season.

Sophomore pitcher John Means (4-2) picked up the win, giving up 11 hits, two runs and five strikeouts in 6.0 innings of work.

“We have a legit chance to win the Big 12,” Wilson said prior to the weekend. “If we can win two out of three against (Oklahoma), I think there’s real talk about us getting an at large bid (in the tournament).”

The Mountaineers scored five runs in the second inning, led by a two-run single from Jacob Rice.

“Every time I challenge (our players), they step up to the challenge,” Mazey said.

“We can’t give up – we have to keep fighting. With the way this offense is, we can make a rally at any time.”

The Mountaineers took Saturday’s game as well, winning 9-3. The win clinched a spot in the Big 12 championship. McBroom homered in that game as well and highlighted a five-run bottom of the eighth inning. Senior pitcher Dan Dierdorff (4-5) picked up his second straight win, allowing two earned runs, seven hits and eight strikeouts in 6.2 innings.

“Mediocre teams take

days off, take at bats off, take pitches off,” Mazey said.

“Now that we’ve proven that we’re capable of winning this thing, we can’t take days off.”

Despite being tied for No. 1 in the Big 12, Mazey said his team won’t get too excited.

“We like (where we are), but we can’t get too caught up in it,” he said. “As soon as you start feeling good about yourself, you run into a brick wall.”

The Mountaineers return to Charleston, W.Va., next weekend, taking on Big 12 opponent Texas Christian University May 10-12.

In a year filled with disappointment for Mountaineer fans, one team has been a surprise contender throughout its season.

Dana Holgorsen and the high-flying Mountaineer offense could not build on their Orange Bowl victory in 2012, limping to a 7-6 finish in 2013.

On the hardwood, the men’s basketball team never seemed to come together, finishing 13-19 after an early exit from the Big 12 tournament despite being led by one of the most successful coaches in the game, in Bob Huggins.

Traditionally, the Morgantown sports scene has been dominated by football and basketball. With the past successes of these two teams, there was no reason this should not be the case.

However, a new team is emerging from the shadows.

The Mountaineer baseball team, which was picked to finish last in the Big 12 by every coach in the conference, has been turning heads across the nation this year.

With eight games left in the regular season, West Virginia is making a push to win the Big 12 title.

Coming off a weekend series victory against the No. 10 Oklahoma Sooners, the Mountaineers are now 2920 overall and 11-7 in the conference.

As the team continues to succeed, more fans have begun to show their support for the Mountaineers.

In the last game at Hawley Field this season, 2,535 fans clad in gold set a stadium record for attendance.

Mountaineers happy Spring season a success with progress in spring for young Mountaineers

BY MEGHAN CARR SPORTS WRITER

The West Virginia women’s soccer team concluded its 2013 spring season against Kent State, beating the Golden Flashes 3-1 April 27.

The Mountaineers finish with a 3-2-1 overall record with the win against Kent State. The two losses came against Ohio State and St. Francis.

There were doubts at the beginning of the spring concerning the Mountaineers’ back line. Losing defensive anchors Bry McCarthy and Mallory Smith left a void that is hard to fill with players who haven’t had a lot of experience playing together.

Although they are young and not as experienced as other players, head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said she was pleased overall with the improvement.

“These younger players put in a lot of hard work and many hours, and I couldn’t be happier with the improvement I’ve seen from them this spring,” she said.

With the spring season over, Izzo-Brown said she is looking forward to the upcoming season.

West Virginia will open the 2013 season on the road against the 2012 national championship runner-up.

“We open the season on the road at Penn State – a tough team and wellrespected program,” IzzoBrown said.

The Mountaineers are invited to the Penn State Invitational, where they will compete against Penn State and Syracuse, a new member of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The difficult road game against Penn State will be the first of many for the

Junior Kate Schwindel scored nine goals and had eight assists for the WVU women’s soccer team last season.

Mountaineers this season. They are scheduled to compete against the 2012 National Champions in North Carolina and another ACC opponent with Duke in the annual Duke Nike Classic tournament.

“I have a lot of respect for both Penn State and North Carolina, and obviously Duke will not be very easy, either,” Izzo-Brown said.

Duke finished the 2012 season with a 15-6-2 overall record and a trip to the NCAA Elite Eight for the fourth time in six years.

The Mountaineers will open Big 12 Conference play at Oklahoma State Sept. 27, and they will play at Baylor Sept. 29.

Baylor finished the 2012 season 19-1-5 and went undefeated at home.

Baylor advanced to the NCAAs, where its season ended in overtime against North Carolina, who would go on to win the NCAA championship.

Izzo-Brown’s coaching philosophy resembles many other coaches’: “to be the best, you have to play the best.”

“The Big 12 is always going to be a challenge. It’s a tough conference to play in, and I always believe it’s

important to play a tough non-conference schedule,” she said.

The philosophy seems to be successful; the Mountaineers have won three conference titles in a row.

“We’ve been very fortunate to have several successful years,” Izzo-Brown said.

The spring season has not only given the younger players a chance to improve, it has given several players coming back from injuries a chance to get back into shape for the upcoming season, including midfielder Caroline Szwed.

“I believe she’ll be ready for the 2013 season; she did great this spring, got some important minutes and will have the summer to rehab and be ready for the season,” Izzo-Brown said.

West Virginia will lose five seniors from the 2012 team that won the first Big 12 championship for WVU, finishing with an 11-5-4 overall record. West Virginia advanced to a 13th consecutive NCAA Tournament. The Mountaineers were knocked in the first round by Princeton. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

The WVU volleyball team finished the spring on a five-game wininng streak in match play.

BY JON FEHRENS Sports Writer

When the 2012-13 fall season ended for the West Virginia volleyball team, head coach Jill Kramer not only saw her only two seniors leave but also their biggest source of leadership.

Fast forward to the spring season and Coach Kramer is still looking for the answers, but after watching her young team finish the season on an undefeated 5-0 run, she can finally start to see the pieces of the puzzle fall in place.

“Our team matured a bit this spring; we learned to keep our composure.

When we do that it leads to positive plays and a good thought process. We have good teamwork right now and we just need to keep doing that,” Kramer said.

WVU most recently faced George Washington and Marshall in the WVU Coliseum. In its last home stand

of the season, the squad swept both of its opponents and only dropped one set.

After a weekend with such success, Kramer said she is pleased with how her team played in the spring.

“I think your job as a coach is to always want more,” she said. “I’m really happy with the effort that I saw this spring; we were relentless. We didn’t come out as strong as we wanted to at the start, but we worked on all things we needed to.

“One thing we wanted to work on was our team’s persistence, the ability to bounce back, and we did a really nice job of that. Because of all the work we put in, we are ready for the fall, and I am happy with that.”

Even though the competitive play of spring is over and the summer awaits, it doesn’t mean the team is done working.

The girls will have most of summer to themselves, but Coach Kramer said she

still expects her squad to train and work hard during the break.

“Over the summer they are going back to be off on their own, but I will stay in touch with everyone,” she said. “I try to communicate and inspire them as much as I can. They need to stay together and help each other out over break. When they come back they will be ready to go.”

The fall season will start Aug. 20 when the players are expected back in Morgantown. Immediately following the freshmen convocation, the volleyball team will hold “Volleypalooza” in the WVU Coliseum to spread awareness of its program.

The annual Blue and Gold scrimmage game will be held Aug. 24, and the fall season officially opens up on Labor Day weekend against Toledo. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 9 continue their push for a regular season title, I can’t help but look to the future when WVU has a brandnew stadium and the storied programs of the Big 12 are routinely making visits to Morgantown.

The success of this season is laying a foundation for the future. With only four seniors on the roster, this Mountaineer team is built for consistent success.

While Morgantown will likely always be a football town, Mountaineer fans should head out to Hawley Field and give this team a chance next season.

With a fanbase as rabid as West Virginia’s, Morgantown could quickly become one of the fiercest environments in Big 12 baseball if fans give this team the support it deserves.

There is nothing better in sports than an underdog story, and this Mountaineer team is the ultimate underdog.

Head coach Randy Mazey has this team playing the

Head coach Randy Mazey, right, and the Mountaineers are turning heads in the Big 12 this season. role of world-beaters. Since the beginning of the year, the first-year head coach has been stressing the process rather than the results.

In paying attention to the process, this team is beginning to produce some extraordinary results. With a berth in the Big 12 tournament already clinched, this team could potentially be on

its way to its first NCAA tournament since 1996.

So, if you call yourself a baseball fan or a Mountaineer fan, give this team your support down the stretch this year and in the future, and do your part to make Morgantown a baseball town. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

DA sports’ graduating writers say their goodbyes

nick arthur sports writer

I had no clue what I was doing on that bus. Surrounded by dozens of people I’d never met, I was tired and questioning why I agreed to attend.

I had just been hired as a Sports writer at The Daily Athenaeum and was asked to tag along to its annual retreat – one only required for the section editors but open to anyone.

I was asked to come, because, naturally, not all of the editors wanted to wake up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday and spend all day listening to guest speakers tell them what they’re doing wrong.

While on the bus, when everyone was admitting how tired they were and questioning why they, too, were sacrificing a Saturday, we all agreed we needed to come up with a hashtag to include in our tweets about the retreat – in a world of social media gurus, it was only fitting.

“Living the Dream,” I proclaimed. “With the ‘D’ and the ‘A’ capitalized.” I don’t know how I thought of it so quickly, it just came to me. After an outburst of laughter, we all agreed the sarcastic-term would be coined as our daily reference on Twitter.

The retreat turned out to be very beneficial. I learned a lot about the dos and don’ts of the journalism industry – one with which I had no prior familiarity.

We each poked fun and tweeted how bored we were at times and returned home late that evening.

My first year as a writer turned out to be better than I could have ever asked for. I was fortunate enough to cover WVU football and basketball. From traveling to the women’s

basketball Big East tournament in Hartford, Conn., to the Orange Bowl in Miami, and the NCAA men’s basketball tournament in between, it was an amazing experience.

I was promoted to an editor’s position in my second year and had to opportunity to design and lay out the paper on a daily basis. I helped hire new writers. I continued to cover the football and basketball and reported from places such as Lubbock, Texas; Stillwater, Okla.; Bronx and Brooklyn, N.Y.; Landover, Md.; Lawrence, Kan.; Kansas City, Mo., and many more.

After my memorable experience at The DA, I’ve learned the term that once made a mockery of the idea of sacrificing what was once free time for work turned out to be genuine.

During my two years, I lived the dream. I learned firsthand how priceless of an opportunity it is to work for the The Daily Athenaeum.

I also reaped the benefits of the resume-building position.

It opened the door to multiple internships, networking opportunities, and ultimately, the most important thing – a job.

Life is simple – you get as much out of things as you put in.

I invested a ton of time, effort and work over the past two years.

And in return, I was given back more things than I could even begin to list.

So, as I move on to the next junction of my life and write this column on a Saturday morning, I have just one thing to say.

Thank you, Daily Athenaeum.

For making a dream the reality. #livingtheDreAm nicholas.arthur@mail.wvu.edu

At the beginning of this year, I was in one of my journalism classes here at West Virginia University. We had just received the grades for one of our news stories that we had written, but the professor didn’t hand mine back.

Instead, they asked me to come talk to them after class.

I’ll never forget what they asked me after they handed me back my story – for which I received an A, for the record.

“Why are you wasting your time doing sports?” they asked. “You’re good enough to have a career doing real news.”

And to be honest, if I hadn’t just gone through my four years here at WVU taking my classes at the Jschool, things probably would have been different.

Maybe I would be leaving this school to start on my career covering “real” news.

But I was lucky enough to have something better. I had four years at The Daily Athenaeum.

The truth is, I didn’t really know what I was getting myself into when I showed up at 284 Prospect Street to interview for a sports writer position with Brian Gawthrop and John Terry. All I knew was that, after a semester as an athletic training student, I had just switched to journalism and was looking for a way to continue to write on a regular basis.

What I got was so much more.

I got the chance to work every day in a professional environment, doing exactly what I would be doing if I worked at any other newspaper. I’ve had the privilege to work with some of the best young journalists this school has to offer, as well as some of the best in the state.

But like all good things, my time at The DA has to come to an end. And although I’m not entirely done yet (I’ll still be writing stuff occasionally this summer while I take my final class), I wanted to use my final column to share some of the things I’ve learned since working here.

The first is that you get out of something as much as you put into it. I’ve seen

many writers come through The DA who wanted to get hired and go straight to covering football and men’s basketball (and when they didn’t get what they wanted, quit).

But you have to be willing to work your way up. We’re all students, and we’re all learning what we’re doing when we first get hired here – there’s nothing wrong with moving your way up.

In fact, it’s more rewarding than anything when you see yourself progress and get to where you want to be.

The second thing is to do what you’re passionate about and do what you love to do.

I’m lucky enough to be able to say that when I leave school, I will be entering into a job that I will truly love doing every day for the rest of my life. Not a lot of people get to say that, and I wouldn’t have known this had it not been for The DA. If I were to go through and thank every person who needed to be thanked, this column would be way too long – so I’ll try to condense the list a little bit.

The obvious ones were Brian and John, the two people who hired a freshman whose only clips were stories he wrote on Bleacher Report as a senior in high school. Then you have people like Tony Dobies and Dave Ryan, who were seasoned vets at the paper by the time I got there and were always willing to help with anything I needed – and still are.

There are too many other people to thank, but that’s the great thing about being a part of something as great as the sports section here at The Daily Athenaeum.

Sure, the games are fun to cover and everything, but it’s the times when we’re all hanging out in the hotel the night before the Orange Bowl or the late-night Subway rides from Manhattan to Brooklyn after the Pinstripe Bowl that I’ll remember most.

While I’m leaving The DA and WVU to get ready to start my full-time job covering Mountaineer athletics for Blue & Gold News, I will never forget any of the people I’ve met or the times I’ve had here. I can honestly say that I’ve been #livingtheDreAm for the last four years.

Thanks for reading. james.carvelli@mail.wvu.edu

cody schuler sports writer

I shouldn’t be here right now.

That’s what I told myself on a daily basis during my first couple of weeks covering the West Virginia football team. I was, after all, a finance student with no journalism experience from a handful of articles I wrote about the rowing team in my first month at The DA. For a while, I worked with the fear of a coach or player calling me out in front of all the other reporters and asking me what I was doing there.

It wasn’t until months later on the field after the end Orange Bowl, with shreds of Clemson’s defense still hanging in the air, I finally realized I was supposed to be here.

I looked around, watching Mountaineer fans celebrate in the stands; I brushed shoulders with Geno Smith as he celebrated a game that meant more to him than maybe any other player on the roster; I even saw Mike Montoro, director of football communications, run at a full sprint toward head coach Dana Holgorsen to make sure he was ready for a television crew heading his way.

It was an unforgettable series of moments, and I used them all to write a deadline recap from the press box that was instantly sent out to WVU fans still awake and craving for more coverage of a game many people will never, ever forget.

It was in that time I realized truly what it meant to be a sports writer at The DA. As reporters, we are given opportunities few others have access to. We get to interact firsthand with coaches, travel to games and ask questions in an effort to provide you, the reader, with a closer look at all the action.

This job was never about me and what I was able to experience for myself – especially on road trips like the Orange Bowl. Instead, it has always been about sharing the experiences I had with everyone who was unable to be there to see them firsthand.

When friends, coworkers and other people I would run into would ask me my take on WVU Athletics, it was strange in that they always took special attention to what I had to say, because I had this job.

Often what I found was the people asking me these questions actually knew more about what was going on than I did. This is the beauty of covering the Mountaineers: Every fan is an expert, and every fan has a passionate interest in WVU. I’ve done so many awesome things and made so many incredible memories working at this paper. All of that has required sacrifice, hard work and literally hundreds of hours inside the newsroom.

I wouldn’t have made it through two years, especially this year as managing editor, without the help of some great people.

I want to thank my parents, for always being there and providing support and guidance every step of the way; my girlfriend, Allison, for so many things, including not getting frustrated for all the time I spent at the office; her dad, Ken, for cultivating my interest in so many things and inspiring several columns.

And especially to Tony Dobies and Dave Ryan, who showed me what The DA was really about, helped me get my start and always answered questions; to Patrick and Geoff for showing me the ropes without knowing you really were. To Michael, Nick and John, as well as the rest of The DA writers (including Alex Sims), for taking this journey with me.

To the good folks at Tudor’s Biscuit World, Black Bear Burritos and Mario’s Fishbowl for fueling late nights and early mornings on the job.

And most importantly, to anyone who ever read a single paragraph of the hundreds of articles I’ve written here for the past two years. I don’t know how good of a job I did, but I had a lot of fun, and hopefully some of my work was enjoyable and insightful – or at least kept you busy during class or at work.

It isn’t with a heavy heart I finish this, my last column, but instead with a smile and a wave.

It’s not hard to leave, because I’ve known I’ve been on borrowed time all along.

Next year, several writers without a clue of what they’re getting themselves into will step into our roles and experience the very same things we have.

And that is the true beauty of this place. charles.schuler@mail.wvu.edu

Former West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith looks on in a game against the Texas Longhorns in Austin last season.

Smith receives heavy criticism following NFL draft

BY AMIT BATRA SPORTS EDITOR

Being a quarterback in New York is never easy.

Even the ones that have had success in the past have had to battle the degrading New York media.

For former West Virginia quarterback and current New York Jet Geno Smith, things won’t come easy.

Smith, who was selected No. 39 overall by the Jets a few weeks ago in the NFL draft, and has been scrutinized in his short tenure as the Jets’ new QB. Reports surfaced last week that the firing of Smith’s agents, Jeff

Nalley and Eric Burkhardt of Select Sports Group, were due to Smith falling out of the first round and becoming the second quarterback selected of this year’s class.

On April 23, Smith, his agents, family members and friends gathered for a dinner in New York City prior to the draft. Everyone, including Smith, gave a toast to celebrate what was expected to be a monumental evening.

To everyone’s surprise, the former WVU quarterback was not selected in the top 10. Many draft analysts and experts had

Smith going to a team in desperate need of a franchise quarterback.

Whether that meant No. 1 to the Kansas City Chiefs or another squad such as Philadelphia, Buffalo or Arizona, it was safe to say Smith would be the first Mountaineer in the top 10 since Adam “Pacman” Jones went No. 6 overall in 2005.

Smith has said he is a guy who can make immediate impact on any NFL team, but the problem was that many NFL teams felt a different way.

“His biggest problem is that he doesn’t know what

he doesn’t know,” said a league executive who spent extensive time with Smith prior to the draft. “I’m not sure he knows how to take instruction because he pretty much wouldn’t listen or talk to our coaches ... He’s talented.

“He can sling it, he can fit it into tight spots, he can do a lot of things, and I think he wants to be good.

But you can’t tell him anything right now. He’s tuned out because he thinks he’s got it all down.”

The executive could be referring to how Smith walked away prior to the completion of the first round of the NFL draft.

Smith was asked Tuesday his reasoning for firing his agents by SiriusXM NFL Radio “I don’t want to shed too much light on it,” Smith said. “The thing

that I can tell you is that it’s not because of the whole draft experience. It’s not because of one particular incident. There’s a number of things. And that story, you know, that battle will be fought on a different day. As of right now I don’t feel too comfortable talking about all the details of it.”

Select Sports issued a statement following Smith’s decision to part ways.

“We worked tirelessly for Geno Smith and all of our draft prospects,” the firm said in a statement.

“The NFL draft is unpredictable, and we prepared Geno and all of our draft prospects, as we do every year, about what can happen during the draft.”

Multiple league executives have questioned Smith’s maturity and lead-

ership during this process.

One league executive said former Florida State quarterback and current Buffalo Bills QB E.J. Manuel was selected ahead of Smith due to his impressive personality and maturity.

“Manuel gets it, he gets the whole big picture of what it takes to lead a team,” one league executives said. “Right now, he’s blaming everybody but himself and he has some buddies around him who are telling him the same thing.”

While Smith has gotten much criticism these last few weeks, he will have to make sure the media doesn’t get to his head in order to achieve the success he believes he can reach in the NFL. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Adams breaks school record at Big 12 championships

BY KEVIN HOOKER SPORTS WRITER

The West Virginia track and field team completed its second day of competition at the Big 12 outdoor track and field championships in Waco, Texas, Saturday.

The Mountaineers took 10th place in the Indoor Track & Field Championships in February. While the team knew this weekend wouldn’t be easy, head coach Sean Cleary and the Mountaineers met their goals.

“I feel that we have 8-10 young ladies that have a chance to put themselves onto the podium,” Cleary said prior to the weekend.

“We knew exactly what we were, heading into indoors, as we do now, heading into outdoors.”

Junior Stormy Nesbit placed seventh in the long jump with a mark of 5.93 meters and became the first Mountaineer to score in both the indoor and out-

door championships. She also earned All-Big 12 honors.

“After a turbulent spring, Stormy pulled out a nice jump to secure her place on the long jump podium,” Cleary said.

Junior Chene Townsend was also successful, placing sixth in the preliminary round of the 10-meter hurdles with a time of 13.81 seconds. Her time qualified her for the finals.

“Chene came into this competition a bit anxious about an injury, but she put that behind her ... we qualified those that we expected.”

Freshman Chr ista D’Egidio competed in the 800-meter run on Saturday as well, placing 18th with a time of 2:17.78.

Junior Arielle Gaither ran in the 400-meter hurdles and finished 15th with a time of 1:07.79.

Sophomore Karissa Knabenshue placed 17th in the shot put with a distance of 12.20 meters.

Senior Heather Adams broke the school record Fri-

day in the hammer throw with a personal-best mark of 56.96 meters. She finished fifth in the event and scored four points for the Mountaineers.

“We got off to a very good start with Heather’s school record in the hammer throw,” Cleary said. “She has worked so hard this year for this moment, and this an exciting memory for her.”

Junior Katlyn Shelar, who also scored for the Mountaineers, placed eighth in the pole vault with a distance of 3.76. She broke the school record in the event earlier in the month.

“Katlyn looked a little off out there tonight,” Cleary said. “We fully expect her to be at peak strength by the NCAA meet.”

Senior Hallie Portner, the only runner for WVU on Friday, finished 12th in the 10,000-meter run with a personal best time of 36:51.24. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU tennis on rise despite struggles Almost a year after West Virginia Athletic Director Oliver Luck fiercely led the University onto new horizons of the Big 12 Conference, it appears some sports programs are adapting better than others.

The women’s soccer team adjusted to the move. In their inaugural Big 12 season, the Mountaineers went undefeated in the conference on their way to the regular season championship.

The WVU baseball team, led by first-year head coach Randy Mazey, is having a resurgent season, and fans are repaying the team.

West Virginia’s most recent game, a win against No. 10 Oklahoma, brought more than 2,200 fans to the ballpark for the third consecutive game.

But what about the football team? It’s fair to say after riding the momentum of a nationally televised Orange Bowl victory into a new conference, and reaching as high as No. 5 in the college football polls, the Mountaineers were not ready to get punched in the mouth by the realities of playing in the Big 12.

And then there was the basketball team. It was legendary head coach Bob Huggins’ worst season since his first season at Akron in 1985.

Some programs were just not ready for the move.

And the West Virginia women’s tennis team was one of those programs.

In her third season as head coach, Tina Samara is in the middle of laying down the foundation that one will one day have the Mountaineers competing at the top of the Big 12.

I believe that just as much as I believe Mountaineer fans will see Holgorson and Huggins lead their respective programs to the top of the Big 12.

Samara may not be as well known on the WVU campus or around the country like Holgorsen or Huggins, but believe me, after covering the program for the past two years, she displayed has the knowledge, desire, pedigree and confidence needed to lead her program.

Samara knows what it’s like to have success playing at the highest level of college tennis.

As a senior at Georgia, she won the deciding doubles match in the Bulldogs’ first NCAA title in 1994. She was a part of the No. 1 doubles team in 1995 and was an All-American in 1994 and 1995.

When Samara envisions the future of West Virginia tennis, it shares some similar qualities as her alma mater.

“Any coach that’s building a program would be smart to find the program that they respect, and try to learn from them,” Samara said. “I was fortunate to have played for one.”

That said, there are a lot of things a top 5 tennis program can do that an upand-comer like West Virginia will never be able to do.

“We’re not recruiting the kids that Georgia’s recruiting,” Samara said. “I wish we were, but it’s not going to happen. It’s going to be a lot taller task for the kids here to win because of their backgrounds, but it can be done. Someone has to start the winning.”

Just like Holgorson and Huggins will start winning in the Big 12, Samara will, too. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Pacers defeat Knicks in Game 1

AP

Indiana Pacers forward David West (21) and center Roy Hibbert (55) react after Hibert drew a free throw against the New York Knicks in the second half of Game 1 of their NBA basketball playoff series in the Eastern Conference semifinals at Madison Square Garden Sunday in New York. The Pacers won 102-95.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bigger, badder and so far better.

Physical beat finesse Sunday, as the Indiana Pacers outworked and outmuscled the New York Knicks in a 102-95 victory in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

David West scored 20 points and Paul George added 19 for the Pacers, who outrebounded the Knicks 44-30, showing the smaller team that in the rugged East, size does matter.

“I thought guys did a good job just putting them on their heels," West said.

"We were attacking, we were aggressive.”

D.J. Augustin had 16 points for the Pacers, who built a 16-point lead while Carmelo Anthony was on the bench in foul trouble in the third quarter, and easily held on to spoil the Knicks’ first second-round game since 2000.

Anthony finished with 27 points and 11 rebounds, but was frustrated by the Pacers' tough defense and by the referees. He shot 10 of 28 from the field and was perhaps thrown out of sync having to defend West, a natural power forward, inside.

“Right now they're just being really physical with him, they’re trying to bang him, they’re trying to frustrate him," Knicks point guard Raymond Felton said. “But we're going to be fine, he's going to be fine.”

Game 2 is here Tuesday night, and then the series takes a lengthy break before Game 3 on Saturday in Indiana.

The Pacers, who allowed the second-fewest points per game and the lowest field goal percentage in the league during the regular season, mixed in solid offense as well. They outscored New York 5938 across the middle two quarters and were comfortably ahead throughout the fourth.

"Just a strong defensive effort and then offensively guys played with great poise,” Pacers coach Frank Vogel said. "Just a complete team effort, very proud of them.”

Roy Hibbert scored 14 points in thoroughly outplaying counterpart Tyson Chandler, and George Hill also had 14 for the Pacers, adding seven rebounds and six assists.

Lance Stephens on added 11 points and 13 rebounds playing in his hometown.

J.R. Smith scored 17

points but was 4 of 15.

Felton had 18 and Kenyon Martin added 12 for the Knicks, who hope to have reserves Amare Stoudemire (right knee surgery) and Steve Novak (back spasms) back for Game 3 and certainly looked as if they could use the help.

Both teams wrapped up their first-round series Friday night, the Knicks' victory in Game 6 in Boston giving them their first series victory in 13 years and sending them on to face a familiar postseason foe in Indiana, which ousted Atlanta.

The teams met three straight years from 199395, then again from 199800, splitting their six series, and this was the type of slugfest so many of those matchups were.

Indiana led 60-54 when Anthony committed his fourth foul and came out of the game with 7:48 remaining in the third quarter. The Pacers then outscored the Knicks 21-11 the remainder of the period, opening an 8165 bulge on Augustin's 3-pointer with 31.5 seconds left in the quarter.

"They did all the little things," Knicks coach Mike Woodson said. "We didn't start playing until we actually got down and it was desperation and we've got to play like that from the start."

Anthony came back on to start the fourth and scored the first six points to get the Knicks back within 10. He picked up a fifth on a questionable offensive foul call with 10 minutes left and appeared to wave off a substitution when Chandler checked in, though Woodson said Chandler was going in for Martin, who was the one who exited.

But there was no final flurry, and Chandler eventually fouled out with four points and three rebounds.

Anthony wore a sleeve under his jersey covering a strap to keep his sore left shoulder in place. It was first hurt against the Pacers in April, then aggravated when Kevin Garnett pulled on his arm while setting a screen during the first-round series.

That may have contributed to his poor shooting but certainly the Pacers had plenty to do with it, as did having to bang inside with the bigger West – though Anthony downplayed the toughness factor.

"The physicality of this game didn't do nothing to me, to us," he said.

“It's like Coach Woodson said and I agree with him, they beat us on the glass, they beat us to the loose basketballs out there, the hustle plays, and they outworked us. I don't think that had anything do with being more physical."

The Knicks closed the first quarter with a 9-0 spurt, taking a 27-22 lead after 3-pointers by Smith and Felton to end the period. But the Pacers tightened up the defense in the second, holding the Knicks to two baskets in the final 5 minutes.

Indiana outscored New York 13-4 during that

stretch, taking a 52-46 lead to halftime after George hit a 3-pointer with 2.7 seconds left.

The Pacers, who also were the league's best team at defending the 3-pointer, limited the Knicks to 19 attempts and actually made more (8-7). Augustin was 4 of 5 off the bench.

Mayweather defeats Guerrero, improves to 44-0 LAS VEGAS (AP) — The defense was back, just like it used to be. Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s dad was back, too, just like he used to be.

And Mayweather was a winner once again – just like he always is.

Mayweather fought as if he had never left the ring, coming back from a year's absence Saturday night to win a unanimous 12-round decision over Robert Guerrero in their welterweight title fight.

The game plan was defense, and Mayweather followed it perfectly. With his father directing from the corner after a 13-year absence, he dominated Guerrero in a performance not totally expected at the age of 36.

“I needed my father tonight,” Mayweather said.

“My defense was on point and he told me to stick with my defense and that the less you get hit the longer you last.”

Mayweather was masterful at times, landing thudding right hands and bloodying Guerrero’s face in a performance that mimicked some of his best fights. Mayweather hurt Guerrero on several occasions, including a series of right hands near the end of the eighth round that buckled Guerrero’s knees.

All three judges scored the bout 117-111. The Associated Press had it 119-109.

“We did it again,” Mayweather said after earning at least $32 million for his night's work. "I take my hat off to Robert Guerrero. He's a true warrior.”

If it wasn’t terribly pleasing to the crowd of 15,880, it was terribly effective. Mayweather made a fighter who hadn’t lost in eight years look befuddled as he danced and moved and shot out right hands with increasing frequency.

He remained unbeaten in 44 fights and, more importantly, looked so fresh that he may follow through on his plan to fight again in

September.

“I was looking for the knockout but I hurt my hand,” Mayweather said.

“I feel bad I didn't give the fans the knockout.”

Mayweather was booed at times for not mixing it up more, but he didn't need to. He was content to move and land jabs and right hand leads, while Guerrero grew increasingly frustrated trying to chase him.

When Guerrero did hit him, Mayweather quickly got out of the way and, more often than not, landed a right hand of his own.

“I landed some good shots on him,” Guerrero said. “He’s a great fighter.

He's slick and quick.”

The fight at the MGM Grand arena settled into a familiar pattern from the third round on as Mayweather made adjustments and started landing some crisp right leads to Guerrero’s head. Guerrero was eager to trade punches, but often couldn't find Mayweather, who had already moved out of range.

Before the fight there had been some concern about Mayweather having ring rust after going a year without a fight. But he didn’t miss a beat, using his defensive skills to baffle Guerrero and keep him off balance.

Mayweather was a 5-1 favorite coming into the fight, but Guerrero was considered dangerous coming off a big win over Andre Berto. Guerrero hadn’t lost in eight years, and vowed to be the first to beat Mayweather, now 44-0.

But he had never fought Mayweather, who got hit more than normal in his last fight against Miguel Cotto a year ago.

“Honestly, Floyd could have danced the whole night,” Floyd Mayweather Sr. said. “There wasn’t anything he couldn't do in there tonight.”

Mayweather had crafted much of his career using his defense as his main

weapon, and said he turned to his father – who used to be his trainer – to regain his old style.

“After the Cotto fight I realized my defense wasn't what it should be and I had to hone my skills,” Mayweather said.

By the fifth round Mayweather’s confidence was growing and he began landing some heavy right hands to Guerrero’s head.

Guerrero kept plodding after him, but paid the price as Mayweather shot counter right hands through his defenses.

Mayweather was faster and stronger than Guerrero, who was fighting for only the third time at 147 pounds. Mayweather said he hurt his right hand while going after the knockout in the eighth round, but still managed to control the fight round after round.

Guerrero (31-2-1) was cut over his left eye in the eighth round, when Mayweather seemed on the verge of stopping him.

Ringside punch stats showed Mayweather landing 60 percent of his power punches, an unusually high rate. That included 23 of 30 power punches in the eighth round, when Guerrero was wobbled.

All told, Mayweather was credited with landing 195 punches to 113 for Guerrero.

“He ran like a chicken,” said Guerrero’s trainer and father, Ruben. “I thought we were going to go toe-totoe with him.”

Robert Guerrero didn't complain about Mayweather's style at all. Not when he wants to fight him again some day.

“I'm going to keep fighting and hopefully before Floyd Mayweather retires I'm going to get that shot again,” Guerrero said.

Mayweather said he planned to fight again in September, a short turnaround for him, as part of a six-fight deal he has with the Showtime network.

Capitals defeat Rangers in overtime, take a 2-0 series lead WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — Puck over glass. The New York Rangers don’t score.

Puck over glass. "Casual Mike” does.

The NHL’s black-andwhite delay-of-game rule found a gray area late in regulation, then tipped the balance of the game twice in overtime. The Washington Capitals held firm when they were a man down, then won it on Mike Green’s latest extra-time winner, topping the Rangers 1-0 Saturday to take a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

It’s the eighth career overtime goal – and first in the postseason – for the defenseman whose more wellknown nickname is “Game Over Green.”

“When it gets to overtime and guys start to get the shakes a little bit, he’s still calm Mike Green,” teammate Karl Alzner said. “So

he's able to find those goals.

We call him ‘Casual Mike’ every now and then.”

Braden Holtby made 24 saves for his first career playoff shutout for the Capitals and has stopped 59 of 60 shots in the series.

Game 3 is Monday in New York.

Green got his chance because the Capitals’ power play – the best in the NHL during the regular season – finally returned to the ice thanks to the rule that sends a player to the box when he “shoots or bats” the puck “directly” over the glass while in his defensive zone.

The Rangers had done a better job staying out of the box after taking too many minors in Game 1, but the officials had no choice when defenseman Ryan McDonagh clearly committed the error 7:09 into overtime.

“Just got a little too under

it,” McDonagh said.

On only their second man-advantage of the game – and first since the first period – Green nailed a onetimer from high in the slot on a feed from Mike Ribeiro precisely at the eight-minute mark of the extra period.

Contrast that with the New York power play that started 1:51 into overtime, after Steve Oleksy was whistled for the over-the-glass miscue. The Rangers failed to get a shot on goal during their two minutes of 5-on-4 –or at any point in the extra period.

“It comes down to: They score on their power play and we don’t,” Rangers captain Ryan Callahan said.

New York also had a power play late in regulation after Troy Brouwer slashed Rick Nash. The Rangers went 0 for 3 on the power play for the game and are 0 for 7 for

the series.

“We’re just too stagnant,” New York coach John Tortorella said. “We're almost paralyzed.”

The Rangers nearly had another power-play chance in the final minute of regulation, when Alzner swiped at the puck and put it over the glass. Holtby thought for sure that his teammate was headed to the box, but the officials conferred and decided not to make the delay call. Alzner said it was because they decided he had tipped the puck.

“I was thinking about that last night,” Alzner said. “I was thinking if that play ever happened, what would the call be? And I guess it’s discretionary, whatever. ... It’s kind of a weird coincidence.”

The Rangers bit their tongue about it after the game.

“There’s no use talking

about it now,” Callahan said.

“I mean, it doesn’t matter.

Just move on.”

Pucks-over-glass debates aside, the game consisted mostly of Henrik Lundqvist and Holtby kicking, swiping, catching and otherwise getting in the way of the puck.

Lundqvist finished with 37 saves.

“He was big for us again,” Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi said. “And it would have been nice to get the victory for him.”

A razor-thin margin in the playoffs between these teams is hardly surprising.

Six of their seven games in last year’s postseason were decided by one goal, including a Rangers win that went to three overtimes. This is the third Rangers-Capitals series in three years, and five of those 14 games have required extra time to decide a winner.

The Capitals are more offensively minded this year under first-time coach Adam Oates, but the Rangers were able to mostly corral regular season goal-scoring leader Alex Ovechkin and the rest of Washington’s high-powered attack.

Lundqvist had to work harder than Holtby, but both were in top form – and caught a few breaks as well.

New York’s Anton Stralman hit the crossbar about four minutes into the game. Lundqvist reacted quickly to make a kick save on Mathieu Perreault. On and on it went.

But Lundqvist couldn't stop the game’s final shot from Green, whose 12 regular season goals led all NHL defensemen.

“I just happened to be open,” Green said. “And my goal was just to get it by that first guy and try to hit the net.”

Quick’s 30 saves lead the way for LA over St.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — From the opening minutes to St. Louis’ final flurries, Jonathan Quick played every puck with the desperate determination necessary to win the Stanley Cup. Even when the creasecrashing Blues knocked his mask off his head, the Kings' gritty goalie kept his

focus on a win that got Los Angeles back into a tense first-round series dominated by defense.

Quick made 30 saves in his fifth career playoff shutout, leading the Kings to a 1-0 victory Saturday night and trimming the Blues' series lead to 2-1.

Slava Voynov scored in the second period for the

defending NHL champions, who got a brilliant performance from their Conn Smythe Trophy-winning goalie.

After making self-described mistakes that led to both of the Blues' winning goals in St. Louis, Quick won his duel with Brian Elliott, who stopped 20 shots.

“It's what you expect when these two teams play each other,” Quick said.

“They were just throwing pucks from everywhere, but we handled it well and cleaned up most of the rebounds.”

Los Angeles will attempt to even the series in Game 4 on Monday night.

After struggling on the power play and getting bad luck on a handful of chances, St. Louis even resorted to more unconventional means to mess with Quick.

David Perron appeared to dive into Quick in the crease in the third period, with Quick’s mask com-

ing off his head in an exchange that ended with the Blues getting a power play, thanks to Drew Doughty’s overreaction.

None of it could throw Quick off the formidable game that carried the Kings to the Cup last season.

“Quickie had to be really good for us tonight, but the way he played is no surprise to anybody,” Kings captain Dustin Brown said.

The Blues’ power play hasn’t scored in 12 straight opportunities since early in the series opener, and they wasted plenty of good chances against Quick in Game 3. Elliott has allowed just three goals in the series, but Quick kept the Kings unbeaten at home since March 23.

“You’re not going to get very many games like this where you get this many quality chances on the road,” St. Louis coach Ken Hitchcock said. “We were unlucky, more than anything.”

Bulls defeat Nets 99-93 in decisive Game 7

Chicago Bulls’ Joakim Noah, top, celebrates with teammate Nate Robinson after defeating the Brooklyn Nets 99-93 in Game 7 of their first-round NBA basketball playoff series in New York.

NEW YORK (AP) — Joakim Noah climbed over the baseline seats, his foot that hurt so much two weeks ago that he feared he couldn’t play looking pain-free as he embraced his mother.

The first Game 7 in Brooklyn belonged not to the Nets, but to the guy who played here in high school.

“I'll remember this for the rest of my life,” Noah said.

Injured, ill and just as determined as ever, the Chicago Bulls beat the Nets 99-93 on Saturday night to win the first-round series.

Noah had 24 points and 14 rebounds, and Marco Belinelli also scored 24 points to help the Bulls advance to a second-round series against defending champion Miami that starts Monday night.

Carlos Boozer added 17 points as the Bulls shook off injuries to two starters and every run the Nets tried to make in the second

half to win a Game 7 on the road for the first time in frachise history.

“I’m just so proud of this team. We've been fighting through so much all year and to be in this situation, play on the biggest stage in the world and to be able to win and now play against the Heat, all these experiences, I (don’t) take those for granted,” Noah said.

The Bulls opened a 17-point halftime lead with a rare offensive outburst, and found a way to get big baskets every time the Nets pulled close to win the NBA’s only do-ordie game of the first round.

“I thought our guys, we took a big punch in Game 1 and we kept fighting back and that's been the story of the season,” Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said.

Deron Williams had 24 points, seven assists and six rebounds for the Nets.

They were trying to become the ninth NBA team to win a series after trailing 3-1.

But they had a hor-

rendous first-half defensive performance and Joe Johnson was bad all game on offense, finishing with six points on 2-of-14 shooting, including 1 of 9 from 3-point range.

With Luol Deng (illness) and Kirk Hinrich (bruised left calf ) out again and Derrick Rose still not ready to return from last year’s torn ACL, the Bulls leaned on Noah, who could barely play when the Bulls were blown out here two weeks ago in Game 1 because of plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He logged 41 minutes and shot 12 of 17 while also blocking six shots.

“It’s disappointing. We won Game 6, we felt like this was our series, but they came out and played a great game,” Williams said. “Noah, like I said, he’s a warrior. He battled through his injuries and just had a monster game.

We really had no answers for him down low tonight.”

Noah helped the Bulls spoil the Nets’ first home

Game 7 in their NBA history at the end of their first season in Brooklyn. They had played only one Game 7 in all their years while they were based in New Jersey, falling at Detroit in 2004.

Chicago improved to 1-6 in road Game 7.

Deng, tested for meningitis earlier in the week, was back in the hospital Friday night and unable to travel. Hinrich warmed up in hopes of playing before he was ruled out.

It didn’t matter to the Bulls, who backed up Thibodeau's vow that they would have no excuses and play well.

Coming out ready to work, the Bulls got their first two baskets on offensive rebounds by Boozer and Noah, and they led most of the first quarter before bringing a 29-25 lead to the second on Taj Gibson's jumper with 0.8 seconds left.

It was 40-36 before the Bulls took control with

solid offensive execution and poor Nets defense.

Noah had consecutive baskets before seldomused Daequan Cook made a 3-pointer to cap an 11-2 run, and after a basket by Andray Blatche, Boozer, Nate Robinson and Noah ran off the next six points to give Chicago a 57-40 lead as the crowd began to boo.

“I think we weren’t as aggressive as they were, especially on the boards and the defensive end in the first half,” Nets interim coach P.J. Carlesimo said.

The Bulls capped it with a stunningly easy dunk by Boozer with 1.2 seconds left off an inbounds pass, sending the Bulls to the locker room with a 61-44 advantage.

Brooklyn burst out of the locker room with a 10-4 run, and back-to-back 3-pointers later in the third period by Gerald Wallace kicked off an 11-2 surge that got the Nets within 6965 on Williams’ free throw with 5:29 left.

AP

Jimmy Butler hit a 3-pointer and Robinson scored to steady the Bulls and push the lead back to nine, and they led 82-75 after three.

The Nets opened the fourth with just one point in the first five minutes as consecutive baskets by Boozer pushed the lead back into double digits.

The Nets kept trying to get back in it, getting it all the way down to four on a 3-pointer by Williams with 26 seconds left, but Belinelli hit four free throws from there.

Brook Lopez had 21 points and nine rebounds, and Wallace finished with 19 points for the Nets, who finished a successful first season in Brooklyn in a disappointing way, getting booed late in the first half while allowing Chicago to make eight of its final 12 shots.

Robinson finished with 12 points in his second straight start in place of Hinrich.

TREK INTO SUMMER A guide to 2013’s best

summer blockbusters

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ When a friend talked me into watching the first of J.J. Abrams’ “Star Trek” films in 2009, I was apprehensive.

The few times I had tried to watch a few of his shows on television, like Alias and Lost, they just weren’t able to keep my interest. I was kind of dreading going to watch his work on the big screen.

What I got was a pleasant surprise. A fun, visually stunning origin story and franchise reboot that actually made me excited for this summer’s sequel,

“Star Trek: Into Darkness.”

Chris Pine returns to the helm of the U.S.S. Enterprise as Captain James T. Kirk. The biggest addition to the cast comes from Benedict Cumberbatch (“Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,” BBC’s “Sherlock”), who plays the villain John Harrison.

With Abrams back at the controls to direct, the film and writing by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (who wrote the 2009 film), as well as Damon Lindelof – who worked with Abrams on “Lost” and wrote “Pro-

‘This Is The End’ The most unique twist in a summer movie may be within yet another tale of the world ending. All of the actors and actresses in the comedy, “This Is The End,” play themselves.

Starring James Franco, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Emma Watson, Jason Segel, Jay Baruchel, Michael Cera, Mindy Kaling, Kevin Hart, Aziz Ansari and Rihanna, all playing exaggerated versions of themselves, the film certainly doesn’t lack in celebrity appearances or ­ jmc humor, as many of the — stars are also comedians.

While the group is attending a party at Franco’s

metheus,” this film is sure to be among this summer’s biggest blockbusters.

The official synopsis, according to IMDB, says “after the crew of the Enterprise find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a oneman weapon of mass destruction.”

“Star Trek: Into Darkness” opens in theatres May 17.

house, the group is faced with a series of strange and catastrophic events, which are devastating the Los Angeles area. As the world is seemingly ending outside, the group runs low on supplies and friendships are tested, it goes without saying that the most outlandish ways to handle this situation while creating laughs for the audience will take place.

The film is based on a 2007 short film created by Rogen and Baruchel entitled Jay and Seth vs The Apocalypse, which developed into “This Is The End” in early 2012.

The film is rated R for crude and sexual content, brief graphic nudity, pervasive language, drug use and some violence, which is to be expected from the celebrity line-up.

Directed by Evan Goldberg and Rogen, the crude humor in this film is sure to set it apart from other summer releases, but it will stay true to usual Rogen style. If you liked “Superbad” or “Pineapple Express,” you’re sure to love “This Is The End.” “This Is The End” is set to release June 12 in theatres everywhere.

This time, Mike Wazowski and Sulley are back at it again in the summer release of “Monsters University,” which is a prequel to the 2001 hit, “Monsters Inc.” “Monsters University” takes a look at Mike and Sulley’s college days when they weren’t always the best of friends. Both majoring in scaring, the duo tackles college like no

other.

Watch as a serious-yetintelligent 17-year-old Mike (voiced by Billy Crystal) and playful 18-yearold Sulley (voiced by John Goodman) clash when they join the same fraternity and become enemies in a hilarious rivalry that could tear both of their worlds apart.

Directed by Dan Scanlon, “Monsters University” supplies the background story for “Monsters Inc.” as the story of how Mike and Sulley become best friends is told, all while shar-

ing many laughs with the audience.

The only possible downfall of this film is the fact that it is in 3-D. Those annoying glasses always give me a headache. Fortunately, the 2-D version will also be available.

Regardless of your age, you’re sure to enjoy this light, humorous prequel featuring some of our timeless, favorite monsters.

Monster’s University is set to release June 21.

‘The Great Gatsby’ After months of delayed production, the 21st century’s own adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby” is finally set for release May 10.

D i re c t e d by Baz Luhrman, the creative force behind previous successful on-screen adaptations like “Moulin Rouge” and “Romeo + Juliet,” “The Great Gatsby” will be his first project in 3-D. Tobey Maguire stars as Nick Carraway, newcomer to the materialistic socialite scene dominating 1920s New York City.

mysterious, ultra-wealthy Jay Gatsby (Leonardo DiCaprio), Midwestern native Carraway struggles to establish his own identity and strives to achieve his own version of the American dream amid the vapid superficiality that seems to define his new relationships.

As Daisy Buchanon, actress Carey Mulligan captures the essence and effervescence of a true bootleg-era flapper. Jordan Baker, played by Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki, represents a tempting force of sexual freedom synonymous with the roaring

twenties and Carraway’s own disillusionment.

A classic American novel brought to life with a cast of familiar faces and a soundtrack produced

by New York’s own Jay-Z, the first highly anticipated blockbuster of the summer promises to be as visually striking as it is reflective of today’s struggles and consumer culture.

Glamour, deceit, beauty and ambition promise to dominate this colorful take on Fitzgerald’s landmark piece of American literature.

Keira Knightley weds in Paris

PARIS (AP) – A French mayor says Oscar-nominated actress Keira Knightley has said “oui” to rocker James Righton in a small wedding ceremony in southern France.

Aime Navello said Sunday the couple followed French tradition when he married them at the Ma-

zan town hall on Saturday.

Navello read the service in French and the couple responded in French and English. He said about 10 people were present.

Righton is keyboard player for the rock group Klaxons. He and Knightley got engaged a year ago.

Knightley first won no-

tice for her role as a soccer-playing teenager in “Bend It Like Beckham.”

She went on to star in the first three “Pirates of the Caribbean” movies and was nominated for an Oscar for playing Elizabeth Bennet in an adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.”

Dance Showcase displays student choreography

Mel Moraes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

WVU dancers perform in ‘The Collected’ by Hayden Marushi.

BY LACEY PALMER A&E EDITOR

The annual Spring Student Dance Showcase took place this weekend in the Falbo Theatre of the Creative Arts Center, displaying the talents of many West Virginia University School of Theatre & Dance students.

Directed by professor of dance Yoav Kaddar, the Spring Showcase is the third dance program of the year, following the fall showcase and the annual “Dance Now” production.

For the fall showcase and “Dance Now”, students were required to take the choreography course to be eligible to choreograph a piece.

In the Spring Showcase, anyone in the dance program can choreograph a piece.

Alumni are invited to choreograph pieces and participate in the Spring Showcase as well.

“The Spring Showcase is important because it allows students who cannot fit the choreography class into their schedule to have a chance to choreograph,” said Emily Corrigan, a sophomore dance student.

“It also just gives us another opportunity to dance, which is always great.”

Corrigan had the opportunity to choreograph her own piece in this year’s Spring Showcase. “Orchestrina” featured seven dancers – one dressed in red on a large platform, with the rest surrounding her. Incorporating both lyrical and modern techniques, her piece showed both the dancers’ talent and Corrigan’s.

“It was my first time choreographing, so it was a little overwhelming and scary, but I love how it turned out,” Corrigan said. “I am so proud of my dancers for always giving 100 percent and dancing beautifully at all the shows.”

Many other students received the chance to choreograph in the weekend’s showcase. The pieces ranged from Kathryn Baker’s “Showcase,” a tap piece by the WVU Irish Dance Club, to Hayden Marushi’s “The Collected,” a moving lyrical piece touching on cannibalism.

In Demiah Edwards’ “Kissing You,” Edwards and Kelsey Stout performed a moving ballet duet and displayed great control and expertise.

Although the group did not perform during the late performance Thursday night, the Momentum Dance Center from Clarks-

burg, W.Va., also performed a piece in the Spring Showcase entitled “At Arms Length.” This emphasized the school’s desire to make local dance connections and show the importance of dance in the area.

In pieces such as Jenna Dorece’s “Take Me Out” and John Perry’s “No Light,” dancers performed with emotion and skill, emphasizing the love of dance all of these students posses.

In Edwards’ “Distractions of Lustful Love,” dancers displayed their ability to adjust quickly to tempo changes and perform them with ease.

Olivia Kinney, a junior dance student, said next year, the spring showcase will become the capstone for new dance majors, and students will direct their own show.

“It will be a unique experience for them to learn from the producer’s perspective of running a show,” Kinney said. “For this year, however, the show was a great way to close our season and celebrate our graduating seniors.”

Kinney performed in Corrigan’s “Orchestrina,” as well as Rachel Frye’s piece, “End of Time,” during the Spring Showcase this weekend.

The final two pieces in the Spring Showcase focused attention on both the male and female students in the program.

In Edwards’ and Marushi’s duet, “Dissatisfaction,” the duo introduced the audience to many unique lifts and skills while keeping a graceful vibe.

Rachel Frye’s “End of Time” was the last piece of the showcase and featured 13 girls eager to dance to Beyonce’s music. The fierceness and attitude of the performance was outstanding, as well as the technique of the modern hip-hop piece. It ended the showcase with smiles on everyone’s faces.

The Spring Showcase featured the dancers’ skills and raised money for a great cause. At the end of the performance, audience members were asked to donate whatever spare change they could for The Andrea Rizzo Foundation.

“The Andrea Rizzo Foundation provides dance therapy to children with cancer and other serious illnesses,” Corrigan said. “It is so special to us because it allows us to share our passion for dance with children in need.” lacey.palmer@mail.wvu.edu

‘Iron Man 3’ proves to be a success despite director change

geektyrant.com

Robert Downey Jr. returns to play the role of Iron Man in ‘Iron Man 3.’

Celeste Lantz Editor-In-Chief

Robert Downey Jr. is back and just as much of a witty a--hole as ever in the latest of the “Iron Man” franchise.

“Iron Man 3” opened in theatres nationwide Friday to a widely receptive audience, according to rottentomatoes.com.

Tony Stark (Downey), aka Iron Man, pairs up with Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) to take on a completely new foe: Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce).

“Iron Man 3” is the first in the trilogy not directed

by Jon Favreau, but the transition to Shane Black was almost seamless. Stark is more of a selfish jerk than ever, even exchanging banter with a local Tennessee boy, Harley Keener (Ty Simpkin).

The movie picks up right where “The Avengers” leaves off, but you won’t be totally lost if you didn’t catch it. Tony has just rejoined the real world after working alongside characters and villains from different dimensions, which leaves him sleepless and suffering from severe, crippling panic attacks.

In the middle of his mental breakdown, Stark learns of a global terrorist named the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) hacking the American media outlets and threatening the United States presidency through mysterious explosions if their deadly quest for oil isn’t put to an end.

After being pushed to the edge when his ex-security guard, Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau), is put into a coma by one of these explosions, Stark addresses the Mandarin directly, by

inviting him to take the war to his home, openly giving his own address to the media.

Stark’s troubles only go downhill from here. He gets trapped in an unfinished, prototype suit and stranded in Tennessee. He encounters the young Keener after taking over the boy’s garage to begin rebuilding the Iron Man suit, effectively exiling himself and allowing the media to presume him dead.

It’s hard to imagine a more interesting foe than a god from Asgard, but Black manages just fine. The villain, Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce), has been dredged up from Stark’s past and seems to infiltrate every part of his life, including the one thing Stark cares about most: Pepper.

“Iron Man 3” has no shortage of half-thoughtout plot lines and witty banter between characters, as with any superhero movie. Black also continues the usual plot twists and unexpected evil characters.

For a Marvel superhero movie watched by someone who’s never picked up a comic book, “Iron Man 3” was pretty solid and well worth the promise reprieve after a stressful week of finals.

And the fact 48-year-old Downey has returned to potentially finish out the Iron Man franchise doesn’t hurt the movie’s ratings, either. It was reported he insisted on doing all of his own stunts, even causing a six-week filming hiatus due to an ankle injury. If that doesn’t make you swoon, I don’t know what will.

Stark will rejoin “The Avengers 2” cast to keep his legacy of being gorgeous going in 2015. celeste.lantz@mail.wvu.edu

2013 most anticipated summer reads Celeste Lantz Editor-In-Chief

Summer is nigh and there will be two-and-ahalf glorious months of rest and relaxation before the fall semester begins. While some will be blasting tunes and soaking up the sun, others will be locked away for a few hours each day taking summer classes.

And others still will be slaving away at internships and part-time jobs.

However, there are the select few of us who will be scanning the shelves at our bookstore of choice, trying to decide what to read next.

To help you on that quest, here are a few of the summer’s most anticipated titles.

‘The Ocean at the End of the Lane’ by Neil Gaiman Neil Gaiman hasn’t released a novel for adults since 2005’s “Anasi Boys” and the hype for his newest is high. Part mystery, part commentary on the sad state of humanity, “The Ocean at the End of the Lane is sure to satiate your Gaiman craving.

‘Clockwork Princess’

by Cassandra Clare Fans have been devour-

ing the “Infernal Devices Trilogy” since “Clockwork Angel” in 2010. Clare has been working from the Shadowhunters theme from the “Mortal Instruments” series, nodding to fellow young adult author Holly Black, and this vaguely steampunk novel promises to round out the trilogy nicely.

‘Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953’ by Elizabeth Winder It’s been 50 years since Slyvia Plath’s death and her impact can still be felt. Winder, in her nonfiction debut, hopes to honor Plath’s memory by chronicling the writer’s lesserknown side as a summer intern at Mademoiselle magazine’s Manhattan office.

‘Dad is Fat’ by Jim Gaffigan Stand-up comedian Jim Gaffigan has three Comedy Central specials on his resume and he’s about to add “memoirist” to the list. Gaffigan explores the adventures of raising five young children in his typical rapid-fire comedic style, if an entire novel’s worth of stand-up is your thing. celeste.lantz@mail.wvu.edu

Female boxer faces adversity and achieves success

Mel Moraes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Moreale throws jabs at her trainer during a recent practice session.

BY HUNTER HOMISTEK A&E WRITER

For West Virginia University doctoral student Jennifer Moreale, the decision to pursue an interest in boxing was neither glamorous nor wellsupported by her peers.

But it was all she ever wanted.

“Since I was little, I was interested in boxing,” Moreale said. “I was stuffing my duffle bag with my ski gloves, and I grew up with Tyson on the TV.” Moreale, who is studying to receive her doctorate in economics, was first exposed to boxing as a child in Italy, where she saw “Iron” Mike Tyson destroy opponents in violent, sometimes scary fashion during his prime as the heavyweight champion of the world.

Despite staying active throughout her life through sports such as basketball and tennis, Moreale didn’t lace up her boxing gloves until she was an undergraduate studying in New Orleans.

“I was training by myself in the gym every morning, and I was just looking for

something else, so I decided I’d look for boxing,” Moreale said.

What Moreale found was not a polished, high-budget boxing academy, but rather an old, dusty garage staffed by a single trainer and plagued by the suffocating heat that is the New Orleans summer.

Within these musty, airconditionless walls, Moreale logged countless hours crafting her body into a machine through sprints, lifting exercises and other workouts.

For one year, Moreale threw her body into this blistering environment, and, while her overall fitness boosted considerably, she had yet to engulf herself in the boxing lifestyle that she craved.

“The second year I came back, and I said, ‘I want to continue,’” Moreale said.

“And he said, ‘No, you’re done with me, you’re going to go with this guy,’ and that’s the first time that I actually boxed – that I had boxing training.”

This initial exposure to the full-contact sport of boxing provided a shock to Moreale, and she said the sport was a

bit intimidating at first. No longer was she tasked with running stairs and pulling a parachute down a New Orleans sidewalk; now she was throwing punches – and getting punched.

“People were telling me, ‘No, don’t spar, you’re going to get hurt, you’re going to get your nose broken. You’re a girl, you can’t have a broken nose,’” Moreale said. “So I had that in my mind the entire time.”

After she finished her undergraduate studies, Moreale returned to Italy. Her passion for boxing and her desire to dive headfirst into the sport remained strong, but she faced difficulty in finding gyms and training partners who would accept a woman as one of their own.

While staying in shape at local gyms and searching for universities that would support her desire for a graduate-level education, Moreale found WVU. “The program of economics was really what I wanted to do, and then I looked, and there was the boxing team, too,” Moreale said. “I was just like, ‘That’s the place.’”

Immediately after landing in Morgantown, Moreale enrolled in a boxing class in Stansbury Hall. Here she met John Mouser, a WVU graduate and strength and conditioning trainer, and her training reached a new high.

No longer restricted by her gender or others’ unwillingness to join her pursuit of a dream, Moreale found a home where she could hone her skills and fully experiment with the sweet science.

And getting hit in the face?

That was no longer a concern, either.

“The fact that I couldn’t reach my goal of boxing regularly really got me over the idea that I was going to get hit,” Moreale said. “I knew I was going to get hit in the face; that’s the sport.”

After cresting these waves of resistance, Moreale revved up her training regimen and pushed herself to formerly unfathomable heights.

Previously unable to engage in full-contact sparring sessions for various reasons, Moreale now cemented herself as the star student on WVU’s club boxing team, and her success led her to San

Mel Moraes/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Moreale prepares a block before going in for the kill.

Francisco to compete for the United States Intercollegiate Boxing Association National Championship.

Like everything else in Moreale’s boxing career, her participation did not come without hardships and near cancellations.

The determined boxer exhausted herself in an attempt to gain funding for the event she was eventually supported

by WVU’s Student Government Association and the WVU Diversity Office – but she describes this arduous process as an intense battle all its own.

“To get to San Francisco was, I think, the hardest fight,” Moreale said. “I found out one week before the competition that we didn’t have the money to go, so I had to scramble to get meetings, and thank God some of them went through.”

After so much stress and anxiety, the first of two fights in San Francisco represented the culmination of a lifelong dream and the fulfillment of a lofty goal.

Moreale entered the ring untested and unproven. Forty seconds later, she exited the

ring a victor.

In her championship fight, Moreale emerged the clear winner of a three-round contest, and the judges awarded her the unanimous decision, crowning her national champion and confirming her belief that she was destined to become a boxer.

“This is what I was probably made for,” Moreale said.

“It isn’t for everybody, but I just feel it’s in my blood to box.”

Because of Moreale’s rapid success inside the ring, it is difficult to argue with this sentiment.

A national championship marks the completion of one goal, but Moreale sees more.

She sees another national championship next year in San Francisco. She sees a lengthy career training others and constantly improving her own skills. And she sees the Olympics just three years into the future – the pinnacle of amateur boxing.

If history is any indication, we can expect to see Moreale in Brazil, bobbing and weaving her way to greatness. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Gaming columnist says goodbye with top five games of all time Jamie Carbone A&E Writer

For years, I have given students at West Virginia University my opinions of video games.

From what sucks to what is a good time, I have always tried to be as honest as possible when it came to giving my opinion about video games.

From “Street Fighter IV” to “Far Cry 3,” I have never had an inability to tell you what is what, but sadly, my time has come to an end.

Soon, I will be leaving this wonderful state for the far off lands of Chicago, and another opinionated fool will take my place to tell you what video games are worth checking out.

Still, I will take full advantage of my final hurrah to make sure gamers everywhere at least consider what I believe to be the five greatest games of all time. I would be doing you an injustice otherwise.

‘Grand Theft Auto San Andreas’ There has never been a sandbox style game like “GTA: SA” and, while “Grand Theft Auto V” has yet to be released, I doubt it will capture the same spirit.

Taking control of young gangster CJ exposed gamers to a world of gang violence, betrayal and casino thefts that had never been explored before.

Featuring a voice cast that hasn’t been seen since as well as a story that is still exciting to experience to this day, “GTA: SA” is still the good time its

creators imagined it would be.

‘Psychonauts’ One of my earliest articles was about developer Double Fine’s very first game and years later, I still feel the same way.

“Psychonauts” combines humor, platforming, and puzzle solving into what is still one of the most creative games in existence. If psychic powers were real, I could only dream they would lead to a psychic summer camp like the one featured in this game.

Still, even without true psychic ability, gamers everywhere would be doing themselves a disservice by not experiencing this wonderful game.

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time’ There are several different versions of “Turtles in Time” in existence, so understand that the best version of this game is the one made for the Super Nintendo, even with the remastered Xbox version in existence.

Pulling from the comic series, the TV show and even the movie, “Turtles in Time” represents not only the best that “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” has to offer story wise, it also offers a lot of fun gameplay-wise.

From the Battle of Wounded Knee to the far off future, it is hard to find a game that just nails side-scrolling combat so perfectly where it is replayable for years to come.

‘BioShock Infinite’ While it is the newest game on my list, that doesn’t make it any less amazing.

From a story that will knock your socks off to a brand-new

use of what was cliched dimension hopping, “BioShock Infinite” is one of the most entertaining games in existence and will be for years to come.

Without spoiling anything, “BioShock Infinite” is one of those games that will force players to think deeply upon is completion while also enjoiying getting there.

Even with all of its delays, it is an amazing game.

‘Super Mario Bros 2’ Out of all my selections, this may seem like the most bizarre, but I feel like “Super Mario Bros. 2” not only gave players something new to do with its hero but also gave them a feeling for second banana Luigi and the constantly rescued Princess Peach.

Through choice, players came to understand that heroism was the real quality necessary in saving the day, not just being able to jump high and throw vegetables.

While games like “Super Mario Sunshine” and “Luigi’s Mansion” have continued to showcase these same elements, I feel like “Super Mario Bros. 2” has to be respected for doing it first.

So, there they are: the five games I feel every player should experience in their lifetimes. They may not be popular choices but I’ll be damned if they aren’t at least fun.

Regardless, working for the prestigious Daily Athenaeum has been an honor and if even one person checked out a video game based on my recommendation, I’m glad I brought that person some form of entertainment.

‘Tattoo Nation’ offers an inside look at the tattoo industry

redcarpetcrash.com

‘Tattoo Nation’ shows actor and comedian Danny Trejo being tattooed.

Hunter Homistek A&E WRITER

Tattoos are everywhere.

Whether you are walking to class, taking a trip to the grocery store or heading out for a night on the town, chances are you will see a person – or, more likely, several people – proudly sporting their ink.

Today, this is the norm, but tattoos were not always acceptable; they were not always works of art.

Director Eric Schwartz’s documentary “Tattoo Nation” makes this point abundantly clear, as he follows the rise of tattoo culture out of the southwestern U.S. prison systems and into mainstream culture.

“This whole thing started about seven years ago; I noticed I was seeing more and more tattoos,” Schwartz said. “I started asking people about them, and what was fascinating to me was that it was the complete opposite of what I thought.

It wasn’t a fashion statement; it was a very personal thing that came from within them.”

Narrated by tattoo artist Corey Miller (of the TV show “L.A. Ink”), “Tattoo Nation” offers an in-depth look into early tattoo culture in southern California, where the majority of tattoo enthusiasts are prisoners, ex-cons, sailors and gang members.

These lifestyles lent themselves to tattooing; a tattoo was a brand of suffering, of hope, of the future or of the

past. For these people who struggled to integrate themselves into everyday society, tattoos represented proud insignias – within the tattoo culture, they were equals.

Most notably at this time, Chicano (Mexican-American) gang members and criminals developed tightknit communities that shared tattoo secrets and developed new techniques and tricks.

For them, expression though this medium was uniting in two crucial ways.

Firstly, tattoos brought the Chicano culture closer together. Despite many Chicanos being born in America and raised as Americans, they were often cast from society for their distinctly different looks and values.

Many Chicanos found

solace in tattooing, and they used their flesh as canvases to express their battles and to illustrate their hopes for a brighter future. In doing so, however, they exposed themselves to discrimination on behalf of their heritage and their personal decision to get tattooed.

“In terms of tattoos, the story is very similar to what happened with blacks and blues music,” Schwartz said.

“I was able to see how we deal with tattoos, the way tattoos can be done now, came from this segment of our population. I want to connect the dots here.”

Through the Chicanos’ commitment to the art form and steadfast resolve, tattooing evolved into a refined process which created undeniably impressive works

of art.

“I wanted to get across several points with the film,” Schwartz said. “The main point is that this is a real art form of self-expression and that people shouldn’t be judged by it.”

With pioneering tattoo artists like Freddy Negrete, Charlie Cartwright, Ed Hardy (yes, that Ed Hardy) and Jack Rudy, the tattoo scene in Southern California in the 1970s and ‘80s slowly worked its way into mainstream culture, eventually becoming what we see today as a widespread form of expression.

“Tattoo Nation” exposes and explores this process, creating a documentary which educates and entertains on several levels.

Even for those who have

no interest in tattoos, this film, at just under 90 minutes, provides a quick, informative and enjoyable viewing experience. Schwartz said he does not have any tattoos, but the story behind their rise to popularity was simply too intriguing to ignore.

“It is becoming part of the mainstream culture, no doubt about it,” Schwartz said. “It does have a history, and there’s meaning – real meaning – behind it all.”

“Tattoo Nation” can be streamed online and will be available for purchase on DVD May 9 at www.tattoonation.com.
