WVU grad found dead in apartment by nicole curtin managing editor @nicolec_WVU

Granville police believe that drugs could have played a role in Paul Salisbury’s death.

The recently graduated West Virginia University alum was found unconscious on his bathroom floor at the Domain Apartments near University Town Center Sunday afternoon after police responded to a call for cardiac arrest, according to a Tuesday press release.

He was pronounced dead on the scene, the release said.

His girlfriend, Jessica

John, was also in the apartment and was rushed to Ruby Memorial Hospital with him, though her condition was unknown as of Tuesday afternoon. Friends of the couple said she was in “OK” condition.

Salisbury was a student in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences and graduated in May with a Bachelor of Arts in multidisciplinary studies with focuses in business, Spanish and advertising, his friends said.

During his time at WVU, he was a member of the Theta Chi fraternity, and, according to his LinkedIn profile, was involved with raising funds for the Children’s Miracle Network

hospital with the chapter.

Before he came to Morgantown, Salisbury spent his time in Cary, North Carolina, where he was born and raised.

Emily Giangreco, a recent Reed College of Media graduate, said she was friends with Salisbury and spoke about how his friendship impacted her life.

“Paul and I were always friends but we became extremely close my junior year when he and I had a class together,” Giangreco said. “He’s someone that was always there for you when you needed it.

She remembered how he lit up a room when he

walked into it and how he brought “such a positive energy to everybody’s life that he was in.”

“He was a huge jokester, but he was also someone you can vent to and he would really listen,” she said. “He was so caring, which is a hard thing to find from a guy in college.”

Salisbury’s best friend, Paul Soudmand, created a GoFundMe page to help with the funeral expenses of the family which can be reached at http://www.gofundme.com/z9q4ya2.

As of 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, the page had already received $3,800 in donations.

The investigation is on-

WVU Dentistry School puts on second annual Cupcake Wars by corey WILLIAM mcdonald staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University School of Dentistry gave students and residents of Morgantown a chance to showcase their baking skills this previous Saturday in an all-out competition of cake, icing and creativity at the second annual Cupcake Wars.

“There’s always events for other food. There’s the wing cook-off, the chili cook-off, the rib cook-off; there’s never been a baking cook-off, so we thought it would be a fun idea,” said Kerri Simpson, president of the WVU School of Dentistry class of 2017.

Simpson organized the first Cupcake War competition last summer and hosted the event again this year as part of her nonprofit fundraising organization “Hands for a Cause.”

According to Simpson, “Hands for a Cause” was created as a way to organize the various fundraising efforts of the dental class of 2017.

“We’ve been doing a good bit of fundraisers. Last year we helped a WVU student who was fighting Osteosarcoma of the knee and we raised money and were able to help him pay some of his medical bills,” Simpson said. “I’ve had a lot of dentists come up to me and help us back some of these programs so I thought why don’t we start a non-profit that’s purposely for den-

Monongalia County Commission members and developers recently announced new plans to enhance the community with a new 300,000 square foot development in University Town Center, as well as a 105,000 square foot distribution center in Westover.

According to Monongalia County Commissioner Eldon Callen, after the development plans are completed the state of West Virginia and the local community of Monongalia County will receive $1 billion annually.

Callen said the developments will provide a net increase of $30 million annually for the state of West Virginia and a net increase of $6 million annually in revenue for the county and local governments.

“The ultimate goal is to provide opportunities for our children and grandchildren so that they do not have to leave our counties or West Virginia to support and raise their families,” Callen said.

The property in Westover is planned to be a warehouse distribution facility and is expected to open in 2016.

The facility has signed a letter of intent and is in negotiations to start development on property located west of the I-79 interstate in August, with an estimated construction cost of $13 million.

The name of the company occupying the distribution facility was not made public during the announcement.

Additions in the district located near the University Town Center include Morgantown’s first Chipotle Mexican Grill, Starbucks, make-up retailer Ulta, arts and crafts store A.C. Moore as well

as many other retail and chain stores.

It is believed that these projects will increase the size of the University Town Center by nearly 50 percent.

Monongalia County C o m m i s s i o n e r, To m Bloom expressed his excitement for these projects. “(This is) the biggest development in years,” Bloom said. “It will change the face of Mon County.”

Construction for the Chipotle and the Starbucks started in April and is planned to be complete in August, with an expected opening sometime between September and October of this year.

All projects included in the development plans contain separate “grand opening” dates and will be ready for business as soon as they are completed.

“We’re really excited to bring Chipotle to Morgantown,” said Jason Donahue, development consultant for Mon View LLC. Despite recent studies concerning the West Virginia economy, officials are confident that these projects will generate ample revenue and jobs in Monongalia County.

“Morgantown is growing, which is different from other parts of West Virginia,” Donahue said.

“We’ve had phenomenal growth in Mon County over the last 14 years.”

Bloom said the projects will offer many jobs in the area. According to Bloom, the developments are projected to create approximately 8,000 positions to workers seeking employment in the next eight to 10 years.

“There will be a range of all different types of jobs available,” Bloom said.

“Mon County has been considered an oasis; we’re increasing.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

West Virginia’s Ecocar team is going for the gold by john mark shaver staff writer @dailyathenauem

into a hybrid electric vehicle over the span of four years, is competing with 16 other schools in the nation, including Georgia Tech, Ohio State University and Pennsylvania State University.

Chelsea Betts, the team’s communications manager, noted the team’s biggest focus as they shift into their second year of competition.

“Each group of people that presented on a topic [at

the competition] really had to talk about what they focused on that year and what they excelled in and some challenges that they faced,” Betts said. “What we noticed was the presentations were judged really toughly, and our team needs to work on that aspect because in the competition, they want to see not only do you understand the material, but they want you to prove that you

know it well, so that was one of our biggest challenges this year.”

While the first year of the competition was mostly planning, the team will finally get its car this December. This itself poses a new challenge to the team, as most of its members have no hands-on experience with hybrid electric cars, according to Betts.

Betts said the lack of

“In this past year, we had about 43-45 people on our team, and undergraduate, graduate, and PhD. students in all disciplines,” Betts said.

“There were some schools that had over 100 people on their team so there was a lot to live to with that expectation. We’re hoping with this year, as more engineer-

The team is also faced with a rotating roster, as many of last year’s team members have graduated.

The People’s Choice Award was given to Team Track for their Chocolate Mint Mojito cupcake.

Proceeds from this year’s event will be going toward the Dr. Elliot Shulman Scholarship Fund.

Dr. Elliot Shulman was a professor and the Director of the Division of Pediatric Dentistry at the WVU School of Dentistry from 2005 to 2013 who unfortunately passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2013.

“What (the scholarship) does is it helps WVU dental students who want to go into pediatric dentistry,” Simpson said. “We need a lot of pediatric dentists in the area, we don’t have too many.”

Simpson plans on continuing the event for years to come, and wants to make it bigger and better, potentially organizing an entire bakery cook-off for next year. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Carden went on to say the Ecocar 3 project is a great learning tool and resume builder.

“We took all of the information that General Motors had given us about and made sure that on the computer, everything was going to sit properly,” Betts said.

“That way, when we actually get the components this year and we get the car, it’ll all be ready to go and we’ll know that it’s all going to fit properly inside the vehicle…

It’s going to be a great learning experience, but a great challenge as well.”

New Horizons completes Little Pluto flyby

nbcnews.com

The first picture released by NASA of Pluto, left, and its moon Charon.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Little Pluto is a little bigger than anyone imagined.

On the eve of NASA’s historic flyby of Pluto, scientists announced Monday the New Horizons spacecraft has nailed the size of the faraway icy world.

Measurements by the spacecraft set to sweep past Pluto on Tuesday indicate the diameter of the dwarf planet is 1,473 miles, plus or minus 12 miles. That’s about 50 miles bigger than previous estimates in the low range.

Principal scientist Alan Stern said this means Pluto has a lower density than thought, which could mean an icier and less rocky interior.

New Horizons’ 3 billion-mile, 9½-year journey from Cape Canaveral, Florida, culminates Tuesday morning when the spacecraft zooms within 7,767 miles of Pluto at 31,000 mph.

Mission managers said there’s only one chance in 10,000 something could go wrong, like a debilitating debris strike, this late in the game. But Stern cautioned: “We’re flying into

the unknown. This is the risk we take with all kinds of exploration.”

“It sounds like science fiction, but it’s not,” Stern said as he opened a news conference at mission headquarters in Maryland. “Tomorrow morning a United States spacecraft will fly by the Pluto system and make history.”

Discovered in 1930, Pluto is the last planet in our solar system to be explored. It was a fullfledged planet when New Horizons rocketed away in 2006, only to become demoted to dwarf status later that year.

New Horizons has already beamed back the best-ever images of Pluto and big moon Charon on the far fringes of the solar system.

“The Pluto system is enchanting in its strangeness, its alien beauty,” said Stern, a planetary scientist at Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

With the encounter finally at hand, it all seems surreal for the New Horizons team gathered at Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Lab-

oratory. The energy there Monday was described as electric.

Project manager Glen Fountain said New Horizons, at long last, is like a freight train barreling down the track, “and you’re seeing this light coming at you and you know it’s not going to stop, you can’t slow it down.”

“Of course, the light is Pluto, and we’re all excited,” Fountain said.

Three new discoveries were revealed Monday, a tantalizing sneak preview as the countdown to closest approach reached the 21-hour mark.

Besides the revised size of Pluto — still a solar system runt, not even onefifth the size of Earth — scientists have confirmed that Pluto’s north pole is indeed icy as had been suspected. It’s packed with methane and nitrogen ice.

And traces of Pluto’s nitrogen-rich atmosphere have been found farther from the dwarf planet than anticipated. New Horizons detected lost nitrogen nearly a week ago.

As for pictures, the resolution is going to increase

dramatically. Until New Horizons, the best pictures of Pluto came from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Hubble did its best from Earth orbit, but managed to produce only crude pixelated blobs of the minuscule world.

The New Horizons spacecraft is the size of a baby grand piano with a salad bowl — the dish antenna — on top. It will come closest to Pluto at 7:49 a.m. EDT Tuesday. Thirteen hours later, around 9 p.m. EDT, flight controllers will learn if everything went well. The spacecraft will have sent the confirmation signal 4½ hours earlier; that’s the one-way, speed-oflight, data-transit time between New Horizons and Earth.

Stern expects “a little bit of drama” during closest approach, when the spacecraft is out of touch with ground controllers. New Horizons cannot make observations and send back data at the same time, so scientists opted for maximum science during those most critical hours.

Pluto is the largest object in the so-called Kui-

per Belt, considered the third zone of the solar system after the inner rocky planets and outer gaseous ones. This unknown territory is a shooting gallery of comets and other small bodies; every time one of these wayward objects smack one of Pluto’s five known moons, the ejected material ends up in orbit around Pluto, thus the debris concern.

An extension of the $720 million mission, not yet approved, could have New Horizons flying past another much smaller Kuiper Belt object, before departing the solar system.

Stern expects two opportunities to celebrate Tuesday: one at the time of closest approach and the other once confirmation is received that New Horizons stayed safe and accomplished its longawaited mission.

“There is that element of exploration and there’s that small element of danger,” he said, “so I think we’re all going to breathe the final sigh of relief at 9 p.m. and that’s when we can really call it a successful flyby.”

Obama calls for lower sentences on nonviolent crimes PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Calling it an issue America can’t afford to ignore, President Barack Obama laid out an expansive vision Tuesday for fixing the criminal justice system by focusing on communities, courtrooms and cellblocks. He announced a federal review of the use of solitary confinement and urged Congress to pass a sentencing reform bill by year’s end.

In a speech to the NAACP’s annual convention, Obama also called for voting rights to be restored to felons who have served their sentences, and said employers should “ban the box” asking job candidates about their past convictions. He said long mandatory minimum sentences now in place should be reduced — or discarded entirely.

“In far too many cases, the punishment simply doesn’t fit the crime,” Obama told a crowd of 3,300 in Philadelphia. Low-level drug dealers, for example, owe a debt to society, but not a life sentence or 20-year prison term, he said.

With his speech to the prominent African-American advocacy group, Obama

sought to put a spotlight on the need for new legislation as he mounted a weeklong push on criminal justice reform. A day earlier, Obama commuted the sentences of 46 nonviolent drug offenders — the most commutations a president has issued on a single day in at least four decades.

Upon arriving Tuesday in Philadelphia, Obama met with a number of former prisoners to discuss their experience re-entering society, the White House said. And on Thursday, Obama planned to put a personal face on the nation’s mushrooming prison population with a visit El Reno Federal Correctional Institution outside of Oklahoma City — the first visit to a federal prison by a sitting U.S. president.

The assertive moves reflected a president eager to wield his executive power during his waning years in office to reduce harsh sentences, cut costs and correct disparities he said have disproportionally burdened minorities. Earlier in his presidency, as he spent his political capital carefully on major domestic priorities,

Obama spoke cautiously and only intermittently about the need for smarter sentencing and other justice changes.

But as of late, public attention has been piqued by a serious of upsetting incidents across the country. In places like Baltimore, New York and Ferguson, Missouri, tensions between law enforcement and their communities have spilled out into the open, underscoring longstanding concerns among minority communities that they’re treated differently in the criminal justice system.

Obama pointedly acknowledged that many people in the U.S. need to be in prison — “murderers, predators, rapists, gang leaders” — yet he said that in too many instances, law enforcement is treating young black and Latino men differently than their white peers.

“This is not just anecdotal.

This is not just barbershop talk,” he said.

The White House said Obama wouldn’t hesitate to commute more sentences in the coming months if the circumstances were right. Yet Obama’s ability to address the problem unilaterally is lim-

ited, as the White House readily concedes. So Obama has set his sights on the kind of comprehensive fix that only Congress can provide.

“The statistics cannot be ignored. We cannot close our eyes anymore,” Obama said.

Working in Obama’s favor: tentative but optimistic signs of common ground between Republicans and Democrats.

Republicans in particular have spoken with growing enthusiasm about the need for structural change. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has been working on legislation that could reduce some mandatory minimums. Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas and Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island are backing a bill that would steer lower-risk inmates into programs where they could earn earlier release by participating in recidivism-reduction programs.

In another positive sign for the prospects of justice reform, a number of 2016 presidential candidates have taken an active interest in the issue.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has mounted a vocal push to restore voting rights to nonvio-

lent felons who have served their terms and to make it easier for people with criminal records to get jobs. Gov. Chris Christie, R-N.J., planned to give a speech Thursday in the troubled city of Camden focusing on nonviolent drug offenders.

But not all Republicans were receptive to Obama’s pitch. A group of 19 Republicans, led by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia, wrote a letter Tuesday to Attorney General Loretta Lynch accusing Obama of blatantly usurping congressional authority and using his pardon power for political purposes.

Since Congress enacted mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes, the federal prison population has multiplied, from just 24,000 in the 1980s to more than 214,000, according to Families Against Mandatory Minimums. In 2010, Obama signed the Fair Sentencing Act, cutting penalties for crack cocaine offenses. And last year, the independent Sentencing Commission reduced guideline ranges for drug crimes and applied those retroactively.

Flooding continues to get worse in Kentucky FLAT GAP, Ky. (AP) — Doris Hardin watched the water rise from the window of her mobile home in rural Johnson County. Her lights flickered off then her neighbor banged on the door, shouting for her to flee.

She ran for her car but it was already gone.

“I grabbed my keys and my purse and went out to get my car and it was floating down the creek.”

The floodwaters rising around Hardin Monday afternoon killed one man and one woman, left six more missing and sent rescue crews to comb the hilly Appalachian terrain Tuesday, as the threat of more floods bore down on rescue efforts. Au-

thorities called off the search about 8 p.m. Tuesday, with plans to resume Wednesday morning.

The water swept up Hardin’s trailer, her two cats still inside, and smashed it into a growing heap of mangled debris: other wrecked cars, snapped trees, downed power lines and mobile homes.

“One started and then they all just followed, and started piling into each other,” she said.

Kevin Johnson last saw his son wading through the rushing water with his 74-year-old grandmother on his back.

Scott Johnson had already saved his father, his uncle and sister. The 34-year-old re-

turned to their cluster of trailers for his grandmother and teenage nephew and started to carry them to higher ground. As the flood raged out of control, he wedged his nephew into a high tree before the water washed him and the grandmother away.

The grandmother, Willa Mae Pennington, was found dead Tuesday among debris from their shattered mobile homes, Johnson County Coroner J.R. Frisby confirmed. Scott Johnson remains among the missing.

The nephew survived.

Herman Eddie May Sr., 65, was also killed, Frisby said. He was driving alone in a sport-utility vehicle when floodwaters from the Patter-

son Creek started to sweep him away. He drowned after he got out and was swallowed by the rising water.

Emergency personnel in the hardest-hit neighborhoods struggled with the debris and difficult communication as they went door-to-door Tuesday, searching for those who might be trapped in their homes, Kentucky State Police Trooper Steven Mounts said. Like Scott Johnson’s nephew, others were also rescued from trees, Price said.

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear declared a state of emergency to give local officials immediate access to state resources to assist in recovery efforts.

WV Botanic Garden to host new Edible and Medicinal Plant Walk by ally litten a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

For all local community members who are interested in natural healing and foods, the West Virginia Botanic Garden is putting on the perfect event for you. Held on July 18, WV Botanic Garden’s Edible and Medicinal Plant Walk starts at 10 a.m. Tour guide Jen-Osha Buysse will provide community members with valuable information to help raise awareness of the natural resources right at our fingertips. The walk is free, however, it benefits each and every person who attends the event by raising

awareness of the nature among us.

“I will be helping people learn to incorporate plants into their daily diet,” Buysse said. “These are all plants I use in my daily life.”

When looking for edible or medicinal plants, Buysse recommends you focus on one plant at a time.

“We are going to go look at edible and medicinal plants,” Buysse said. “I’m going to focus on plants that are abundant. Usually when we go out to the woods, we look at the unique things such a pretty flower. However, when we’re looking for medicinal or edible plants, we are looking for plants that grow

in abundance.”

The information taught on the Edible and Medicinal Plant Walk are values Buysse teaches others in the community. Buysse works with Liz Wiles and Hannah Spencer at Mountain Stewardship and Outdoor Leadership School to help local students become passionate about everything nature has to offer.

“The purpose of the walk is to create awareness,” Buysse said. “Awareness of the Botanic Gardens and values we teach everyday.”

Mountain SOL School is located at right here in Morgantown. Partnered with Morgantown Learning

Academy, Mountain SOL School works with children to help them become one with nature.

“I believe that you cannot stand up for something unless you are passionate about it,” Buysse said.

“That is the purpose of our school. Our students have so much fun.”

Started by Buysse’s non profit, Aurora Lights, Mountain SOL School is new to the community.

Instead of just teaching classes, the school offers full experiences for students to immerse themselves in.

“I have cared about the earth and social justice my whole life,” Buysse said.

“The most important thing I can do is cultivate this sacred connection with kids.”

Mountain SOL School offers summer programs as well as after school programs starting in the fall.

Buysse, Wiles and Spencer teach students not only to love and understand nature, but to feel alive and whole when in it.

“We work to help students thrive, not survive, in the woods,” Buysse said. “We teach them to feel happy and alive, or thriving.”

The passion that radiates from the Mountain SOL School comes straight from the administrators themselves.

“I have had many lives.

I have worked for 15 years to end mountaintop removal,” Buysse said.

However, Buysse credits her coworkers as well as the community.

“We are all equals. We have titles but we work together beautifully. We all have different talents, Buysse said. “It is such a blessing. None of this would of happened without Morgantown Learning Academy. It is definitely a community effort.”

Album Corner: Evolving EDM veterans and a sophomore slump for R5 WOODY POND A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

“Currents” by Tame Impala Ta m e I m p a l a h a s been successfully swimming with the current that is the rapidly growing genre of alternative electronic music.

Ta m e I mp a l a wa s started by Kevin Parker a s a h o m e - re c o rd i ng project, and since then he has continued writing, recording, and producing all of the music.

The band accompaniment is strictly for live performance.

“Currents” is the third studio album from the Australian artist, and it follows in the footsteps of his Grammy nominated sophomore effort.

Scheduled for release on July 17, this record is a psychedelic journey toward the center of the universe.

The ambience of the music is as noticeable as the clever synth leads harmonizing with one another. There are so many sound effects, you are almost unable to decipher the root sound.

The vocals of Parker are soothing and lovely, though he can support his voice with strength

when needed. While many of the songs are lengthy, others are only around a minute long.

They serve as brief interludes from the elect ro n i c ma d n e s s. T h e opening track “L et It Happen” is a short album in itself.

There are many fluid shifts in style and rhythm throughout the seven minute masterpiece. I highly recommend giving “Curre nt s” a l i ste n w h e n it comes out later this week.

“Sometime Last Night” by R5 Four siblings and their friend moved to Los Ang e l e s, f o r m e d a p o p band in 2009 called R5, and taught each other how to play music until they got their record deal in 2012.

The first names of the siblings all start with “R,” and this is where the band got their name.

R5’s single made it on Radio Disney, and from there they found their demographic.

Their second album “Sometime Last Night” came out July 10 and is built on a typical pop rock sound, with foundation coming from keyboard and synthesizer before layering guitar and drums on top. The band is talented, with

great vocal work and guitar play all over the album, but there is a striking sense of settling for mediocrity on this record as R5 often fails to introduce new elements into their songs past the chorus. The entire band sings together on many of the choruses which gives it a large group sound—this can be good or bad depending on the song.

Beachy vibes are a common audial theme in a lot of the riffs and melodies chosen on “Sometime Last Night.” The best song in my opinion is “Smile,” with an amazing chorus and some really good instrumentation that even includes some tasteful horns. This does not make it the best moment of the album; I think that comes in the last minute of “Repeating Days,” when the lead singer softly sings a short verse over a slow guitar groove.

R5 is a talented group and family who chose not to push themselves toward any major creative advances and instead, decided to work inside their comfort zone for this new album.

Fallon returns to ‘Late Night’ following injury NEW YORK (AP) – "Tonight" show host Jimmy Fallon spent 10 days in a hospital intensive care unit after tripping in his kitchen and injuring a finger so badly it required six hours of microsurgery to save.

The comic was back at work Monday for the first time following the June 26 accident in his New York home, wearing a cast on his left hand that extended nearly to the fingernail of

his ring finger. His wedding ring caught on a surface as he tried to break his fall.

"I tripped and fell in our kitchen on a braided rug that my wife loves," he said.

"I can't wait to burn it to the ground."

His badly bent finger looking like a "horror movie," Fallon took a cab to an emergency room. He was told what he thought was a broken finger was much more complicated, and was

sent to another hospital. He said he was told that many people with the same injury lose their finger.

The complicated surgery involved taking a vein from his foot to help repair the finger.

Ten days in the hospital made Fallon a little stir crazy.

"I started losing it halfway through," he said. "I started reading books about the meaning of life."

He wasn't kidding, as Fallon pulled out a paperback titled "Man's Search for Meaning." And he said it crystallized his own thoughts about what he should be doing.

"This is the meaning of my life," the 40-year-old comic said. "I belong on TV ... if anyone's suffering at all, this is my job. I'm here to make you laugh. I'm here to make you have a good time."

Bee colony collapse is our problem Most of the environmentally-conscious among us are likely aware that there has been a pronounced drop in the honey bee population of the United States.

While beekeepers have reported that populations have been slowly declining at average rates of 5 to 10 percent a year for quite some time, many beekeepers are becoming concerned to learn that anywhere from 30 to 50 percent of their bees are now gone.

Pesticide and fungicide use is thought to be the leading cause of this disappearance. These pesticides sprayed on crops contaminate the plants’ pollen, which the bees then take back to their hives. The buildup of so many different chemicals in hives has been

shown to weaken bees and make them more susceptible to parasites and disease.

Bees provide a lot more to the human race besides honey. A good reason for us to care about the rapidly dwindling bee population is the fact that bees pollinate more than 90 different crops, which in turn produce about one third of the food we eat. This huge amount of pollination carried out every year produces more than $15 billion worth of crops every year. Without bees around, many crops would go unpollinated, something that would be harmful to the people farming these crops and also to the people who eat them.

As Morgantown becomes more environmen-

tally friendly through its efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase overall sustainability, saving bee colonies could be another step the community takes to be more eco-friendly.

Fortunately, there is a lot that students can do on an individual level that will have a great impact. One way we can all make a difference is by buying our honey from local beekeepers who help our nearby bee populations thrive.

Buying from trustworthy beekeepers ensures that money is going to keepers who take good care of their colonies. Whenever possible, it’s also a good idea to buy local fruits and vegetables that weren’t treated with the harmful chemicals

that decimate bee colonies.

Those who have more of a green thumb can plant their own fruits and vegetables, and planting wildflowers or other bee-friendly plants is also a good idea.

During a time where more people are informed about environmental issues and are willing to help, it’s nearly effortless to spread the word and bring issues looming in the distance to the forefront of people’s minds. The WVU community is large enough to make an impact with minimal work on the part of each individual, so we should all do whatever we can to make sure our bees don’t go extinct and take our food supply with them. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

President Obama weighed down by bureaucracy

cmcforum.com

President Obama frequently encounters resistance from members of Congress.

Kody Goff Columnist @retrosyk

President Obama recently asked Congress not to impede the trade deal with Iran. I don’t know about you, but I find it a touch ridiculous that the elected leader of the United States has to plead with Congress just to let something happen.

I’d like to state up front that I’m definitely not the most well-informed about what is going on with Iran.

I know that they’ve agreed to dismantle some nuclear warheads and cut back on their weapons-grade plutonium stock in order to reignite trade relations with the United States, but that’s about as far as my knowledge extends.

Despite my apathy toward President Obama and Middle-East trade relations, when I read that he had to request that his Congress please step back and let this one thing happen I had one thought: Poor Obama.

Let me make this clear, I have no special love for

President Obama. I’m not a Democrat. I’m too young to have voted for him. I’ve vehemently disagreed with some specific points he’s made, and my future profession in healthcare is complicated by some of his policies.

However, he is the President of the United States and his words should carry some weight. He didn’t get to where he is by doing nothing; like any other president, he had to win over a great many people to ascend to where he is today.

Any presidential candidate

outside of George Washington has to deal with enormous pushback to anything they say or do, and they should not have to continue fighting an uphill battle once they have the power to create real change.

Obviously I am not saying that the President of the U.S. should be an unchallenged monarch. That would be antithetical to everything the U.S. was founded on. I just find it irritating that the same kinds of people that complain that President Obama has done nothing to change the U.S. for the

better are the same types of people that actively oppose and filibuster him in Congress. It should be clear that an elected official is only as helpful as their electors will allow them to be.

I feel that all issues can be remedied or at least patched up with a little bit of moderation. It’s extremely important that the president be challenged on his views and policies, but it’s also important that he is given enough leg room to actually make the change that the people are clamoring for.

In the end, not much of

what I say here will reach the people that really need to hear it. No one in Congress will read this and think “Gee, maybe I should lay off Obama just a bit.”

However, I hope that you, the reader, might consider what I’m saying as having some merit. Perhaps think of all the tiresome bureaucracy that our elected officials have to wade through to get anything done. They are human after all, just like you and I. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Beating out competition in group interviews Many things can make you very nervous: auditions, performing, meeting new people, competing. The list goes on.

So, what better way to hold interviews than to make them all in a group where you have to do all of those terrifying things? Welcome to group interviews.

If you’re unfamiliar with this idea, a group interview is something like it sounds. A group of potential employees or interns will work with or against each other to successfully prove that they can perform the required tasks for the interviewer and are the right people or person for the job.

Now, traditional oneon-one interviews are simply nerve-wracking. You’ve got to dress the part, act the part, and say the right thing all while sweating bullets and acting natural. Now

DA THEDAONLINE.COM

add in the pressure performance of interaction in a group as well as a competitive atmosphere where you may be asked to leave in a series of more serious rounds of questions and you’ve got the wonderful world of group interviews.

Having done group interviews, I’d like to offer all of you some personal advice for these kinds of encounters. Going into these cold is tough, so getting a bit of know-how is going to serve you well. The more you know going in, the better.

First and foremost, relax. You are going into an interview as you. You’ve got your game face on, but that’s your face. This is all about you fitting the job, not you contorting yourself for that job. If you don’t feel comfortable doing the job you will be asked to do, then don’t interview for it.

Make sure that what

you’re going to do will help you do what you want. You will be ultimately working for someone, but if you can’t get into it, get out of it. Go into the interview being honest with the interviewer about who you are and what your strengths and weaknesses are.

Being genuine about yourself helps the interviewer gauge your level of competency for the job at hand better. Being you lets you be completely unique from everyone else in the group. If you want the position, use you to pop out.

Next, make sure you know what you’re getting into. If you go into the interview blind, chances are you’re not the only one, but if you are, you will automatically get mentally demoted in the interviewer’s mind.

Make sure you know what you’re interviewing for.

What’s the position? What are the responsibilities?

What’s the company name?

Motto? Business plan?

Do a bit of research, say 30 minutes, and dig up some stuff on the position. This bit of info can let you form questions for the interviewer and build up answers. If you’re prepared and the competition isn’t, you’ve got an edge immediately.

Speaking of questions, make sure you’ve practiced a few beforehand. Mock interviews are an excellent source of experience for their real-world counterparts. Dressing up, practicing your speaking voice, your business appearance, and your questions can help. You can also formulate questions the interviewer might ask and develop some answers. Even if the interviewer doesn’t ask these questions, it can be helpful if they are similar.

A word of warning

though: do not rattle off a canned answer. This seems fake no matter what. Use your voice and word choice to answer in your way.

Be honest. Don’t pretend to know all the answers. If you don’t know, simply saying that can be better than a more bold, but misleading statement. It’s better to say you don’t understand or don’t know the answer than to muddle through something half-done. Asking questions can also help someone else in the group who doesn’t speak up.

Take notes. When you ask questions, write down the answers. When you have a question, write it down quietly and bring it up at the end when the interviewer asks if anyone has questions. This makes you stand out as a serious contender and allows you to bring up the topics you need more info on and retain that same info.

Be you. If it’s a group interview, it’s about sieving through contenders to reach the one that’s right for the position. If you’re not right for the position, you will fall through. If you manage to change yourself to fit in with the position and end up with it, are you really sure you want to be in that position?

Doing this can hurt the group or company you’re interviewing for and then hurt you by being in a job you’re not cut out for. This can also bite you in the butt if you can’t perform in that position since your superiors might not recommend you when moving on.

Group interviews can be a nerve-wracking environment and one that you will never get used to, but they can be an exciting chance to show the interviewer not just what you’re made of, but how you stand out from the rest.

Big Time Rush star embarks on indie solo project by jillian clemente a&e writer @DAILYATHENAEUM

There’s no hiding my love for boy bands. Ever since “Year 3000” blessed my ears back nearly 10 years ago, I’ve been in love with the Jonas Brothers. The Backstreet Boys,’N Sync and Dream Street era was a little before my time, but I still love them dearly. I still cherish the Jonas Brothers as well but, when the Jonas Brothers sadly started to fade and when One Direction wasn’t around just quite yet, Big Time Rush filled in the missing section of my boy band-loving heart.

Inevitably, after four years, BTR also split in 2013 with no real plans of coming back. The four members - Kendall Schmidt, Logan Henderson, James Maslow and Carlos Pena - each wanted to go down more individual paths, whether it was more music, acting, going on TV for “Dancing With The Stars,” or marriage.

Luckily for all teenage girls still infatuated with the blonde boy of BTR, Kendall Schmidt revived his side project, Heffron Drive.

Along with hometown pal Dustin Belt, the duo put all efforts into emphasizing Schmidt’s more mature and stronger vocals with an indie pop sound.

The two released the original, 11-track album back in September 2014 titled “Happy Mistakes,” packed with the revitalization of a new musical project other than just the boy band stuff.

The songs are meaningful and personal, with lyrics relating an addicting love to the likes of nicotine and the inability to move on. In the original, the lyrics have the most emphasis.

Schmidt, however, is captivated by the idea of taking a rough song and stripping it down. That idea turned into a product produced by his own record company, TOLbooth Records, titled “Happy Mistakes: Unplugged.”

On this newer acoustic album, Schmidt empha-

sizes the meanings behind the songs and expresses his own unique musical genius, playing around with varying speeds and vocal inflections. The sound is key on this album.

In “Nicotine,” as Schmidt builds up more to the chorus, the pauses are more powerful and silent, just like the deep pauses that can build up between two people in love. However, there’s still that hint of optimism that, even though he’s addicted to the love and hurting himself. He’s doing it for the raw love, whether it is for that person or for the basic guitar and vocal pairing.

That’s definitely the indie breaking into the pop world that Schmidt knew and loved with BTR. But he never drops the pop. None of the songs are intensely slow and all have a lovely beat to bop along with.

Fortunately, Logan Henderson of BTR never dropped the pop, either, and did a duo with Schmidt for the unplugged version of “Passing Time.” It’s reminiscent of the time that’s

Kendall Schmidt breaks out of Big Time Rush with friend, Dustin Belt. passed since BTR split, and it’s cute that these two could do a duo together again. It allows for more creative genius to flow between into the song. Plus, Henderson’s vocals are as powerful as ever, and his new acoustic style is just as stellar as Schmidt’s That’s not to say Schmidt is drowned out by Henderson. Rather, they squared

up to make each other more powerful. Even when Schmidt gets softer in “Passing Time” or any other tracks, there’s the raw, enchanting feature of just him and the guitar.

He has reached new levels and notes with this album because it allows him to do that.

Exposing a song to its bare minimum of guitar

and vocal can be downright frightening. Heffron Drive did it with such class and simplicity and made such a delicate, gentle blend of the indie and pop genres.

Schmidt is also featured on the track “Night Like This” from Hilary Duff ’s new album, “Breathe In. Breathe Out.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Marvel series farms new material with ‘Ant-Man’, Paul Rudd stars BURBANK, Calif. (AP) – At long last, "Ant-Man" is here.

After assembling the Avengers - twice - and traveling to space with the Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel Studios' latest endeavor seems like a decidedly small affair, yet it took the studio longer to bring the incredible shrinking superhero to the big screen than it did to boot up Iron Man, enlist Captain America or nail down Thor for their cinematic debuts.

The storied history of the "Ant-Man" film goes back eight years when "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuss" director Edgar Wright and writer Joe Cornish were originally attached to the project. After working on several drafts of the script, Marvel and Wright declared last May before production was set to start that they had parted ways "due to differences in their vision."

A little over a year later, "Ant-Man" is arriving in theaters Friday to tell the story of how do-gooder thief Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) inherited a high-tech get-up from scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas). The pair teams up with Pym's stern daughter, Hope Van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), to take down unhinged former protégé Darren Cross (Corey Stoll), who has a suit of his own.

Did the studio end up with the "Ant-Man" it wanted?

"Absolutely," said Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios. "As we had always hoped, this version stands

aintitcool.com

Paul Rudd makes his Marvel debut as Ant-Man in new Avengers film. on its own but firmly within the cinematic universe.

I've had people come out of screenings - women in particular - telling me that it's their favorite Marvel movie."

Despite his status in comic book history as a founding member of the Avengers, Ant-Man has never stood quite as tall as Spider-Man, Captain America or Hulk in the greater pop-culture realm.

That's primarily because the character isn't quite as charismatic as Peter Parker or Tony Stark, and his superpowers are, well, a bit weird. He shrinks, expands and talks to bugs.

For the filmmakers, Ant-Man is right where he should be.

"I liked that after `Avengers: Age of Ultron,' which was amazingly big with cities falling out of the sky, this was a street-level story," said "Bring It On" director Peyton Reed, who was brought on after Wright's departure. "Scott Lang is a normal guy with no powers, and he's sucked into this bizarre world. That was a cool arc that I hadn't really seen in a Marvel movie."

Besides Reed's last-minute addition, Rudd and his "Anchorman" writerdirector pal Adam McKay were tapped to rework the script. Feige said they kept the original "spine of the story" from Wright and Cornish about a criminal recruited by an older mentor to inherit the mantle of Ant-

Man. (Wright and Cornish are credited with story and co-writing credits.)

Reed said the final version of the film incorporates several new elements, such as exploring what happens if Ant-Man shrinks to a subatomic level, expanding the role of Hope Van Dyne, introducing an encounter with an Avenger, as well as injecting a pivotal cameo by the character Janet Van Dyne, the wife of Pym who serves as the superhero Wasp in the comics.

"Peyton Reed, Paul Rudd, Adam McKay and a handful of other writers completely turned the movie into what we hoped it could be," said Feige. "When people tell me their favorite parts of the movie, whether it's an emo-

tional beat, a favorite joke or a visual sequence, all of that came from the reworking that Paul and Adam did, overseen by Peyton."

Unlike most Marvel films, there are no Infinity Stone appearances or third-act dogfights involving aliens or robots. (There is, however, a troop of adorable flying ants.) Rudd's Lang doesn't even serve quite as many zingers as Robert Downey Jr. delivers as Tony Stark in the "Iron Man" and "Avengers" films, or as Chris Pratt gets away with as Peter Quill in "Guardians of the Galaxy."

"I wanted to do something different and a little less expected," said Rudd.

"When you hear that Adam and I are going to be work-

ing on the script, I think everyone thought, `Oh, this going to be a joke-fest.'

That's our background. We worried about the character and the story first. You have to balance it."

The biggest difference for "Ant-Man," which centers on Lang's attempt to nab Cross' technology, is that it's as much of a family drama as it is a heist film or superhero flick. Throughout the movie, Lang seeks to reconnect with his daughter, Cassie (Abby Ryder Fortson), after being released from prison, while Pym and Hope work to reconcile their own strained relationship.

Reed, whose credits include "Yes Man" and "The Break-Up," never felt minimized while working on "Ant-Man." "I was thrilled to discover in the Marvel method that there's a lot of leeway," said Reed. "They encourage weird, idiosyncratic methods. `Ant-Man' is their 12th film. They haven't done it all, but they've done a lot.

They're creatively hungry to do different stuff. I found that very liberating."

"Ant-Man" will be the latest test to see how far Marvel can push the genre following last year's successfully space jump with "Guardians of the Galaxy."

The studio apparently already has big plans for AntMan. Rudd will reprise his role in next year's "Captain America: Civil War," which depicts a divide between superheroes siding with Cap and those aligning with Iron Man.

Much anticipated Harper Lee novel ‘Go Set a Watchman’ released NEW YORK (AP) – Shortly after sunrise Tuesday, the doors opened at the Old Courthouse Museum in Monroeville, Alabama, and a bell tolled.

In the hometown and residence of Harper Lee, it was time to start a marathon and occasionally painful reading of "Go Set a Watchman," the second book no one ever thought they would see from the author of "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Lee fans worldwide stayed up late, awakened early and dashed off during meal breaks to pick up a copy of the year's most anticipated novel, "Go Set a Watchman," which came out Tuesday after months of the most unusual pre-publication attention in memory. From the moment publisher HarperCollins announced "Watchman" in early February, reactions of ecstatic disbelief have been shadowed by concerns about the book's quality, the 89-year-old Lee's involvement in the release and the jarring transformation of Atticus Finch.

"I don't think it's going to damage Harper Lee's legacy," Susan Scullin, a reading teacher in New York City, said of "Watchman" as she prepared to buy a copy at the Barnes & Noble in Manhattan's Union Square.

"It might damage Atticus Finch's legacy, and that

makes me a little nervous."

Booksellers from Cambridge, Massachusetts to Downers Grove, Illinois opened at midnight Tuesday, while Barnes & Noble stores began selling copies at 7 a.m., two hours earlier than usual. Pre-orders have already made "Go Set a Watchman" one of the year's top books and did not let up despite lukewarm reviews and the unwelcome news that Finch, one of the all-time literary heroes, was a bigot in "Watchman."

Amazon.com has called "Watchman" its most popular pre-order since the last Harry Potter book, which came out in 2007. At Barnes & Noble, the comparisons were not to a phenomenon like Potter, but to a follow up: Mary Amicucci, the superstore chain's vice president for adult trade and children's books, said that pre-orders were the highest since the 2009 release of Dan Brown's "The Lost Symbol," his first novel after "The Da Vinci Code" and itself a million seller.

Sales for "Mockingbird," already a consistent favorite, have doubled at Barnes & Noble since "Watchman" was announced. The book's first printing exceeds 2 million copies.

In slightly varying accounts, Lee attorney Tonja Carter has said she came upon the "Watchman" man-

uscript last year while looking through some of the author's papers. "Watchman" was written before "Mockingbird," which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1961. But it takes place 20 years later, in the 1950s. Carter and literary agent Andrew Nurnberg have also speculated that Lee planned a trilogy of novels, although HarperCollins in its "Watchman" press notes cited "scant reference to support this theory."

"Watchman" finds a grown-up Scout, now living in New York, visiting her native Maycomb, Alabama, and observing a community terrified by the Supreme Court's recent ruling that school segregation was unconstitutional. Scout herself is shaken when among those joining the racist mob is the man who in "Mockingbird" stood against it, her father, Atticus.

In Monroeville, which has long had an ambivalent relationship with Lee, only around 20 people were in attendance as volunteers took turns reading from "Watchman." Ann-Michael Winstead, 20, endured reciting Atticus' ugly warning to Scout: "Do you want your children going to a school that's been dragged down to accommodate Negro children?"

Winstead wiped her eyes after the reading.

"It was tough. You grow

Harper Lee releases her first novel following ‘To Kill a Mockingbird.’ up with this book ('Mockingbird') ... You think of him as the perfect gentleman, colorblind," she said as she choked back tears.

At the Waterstones bookstore in London's Piccadilly Circus, shoppers were hopeful as they used their lunch hour Tuesday to pick up copies of "Go Set a Watchman."

Some said they planned it to be their holiday reading, others said they wanted to know more about the beloved characters in "To Kill a Mockingbird."

Lisa Coutts said her love of "Mockingbird" made her

buy "Watchman" - it's the first hardback book she has ever purchased. "'To Kill a Mockingbird' is my favorite book of all time," said Coutts, 42. "I read it at school. It's just a book I have to read during my holiday. I loved it and I thought, `Give it a go.'"

Lee, also known as Nelle, was expected to spend the day as she usually does at the 15-person assisted-living facility in Monroeville where she is closely guarded and only a short list of pre-approved visitors are allowed to see her.

thewrap.com

Wayne Flynt, a historian and author, said he met with her on Monday and handed her an inch-thick stack of news articles and printouts about the release of "Watchman."

"She chortled," Flynt told The Associated Press on Tuesday. "She's absolutely delighted. I think she's a bit overwhelmed."

While Lee's day is expected to be normal, "normal means monotonous and boring, except when you just took over the media of the entire world, in which case it's a lot more exciting," he said.

West Virginia midfielder Ashley Lawrence dribbles the ball in the Mountaineers’ game with Villanova last season.

Lawrence and Buchanan compete for Canada again in Pan Am Games by ashley conley sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Rising juniors Ashley Lawrence and Kadeisha Buchanan are furthering their soccer experiences yet again with an opportunity to compete in the 2015 Toronto Pan Am Games for the Canada Women’s National Team. The Games are taking place at CIBC Hamilton Pan Am Soccer Stadium and began on July 11 for the Canadians as they faced Ecuador in a game that ended in a dominant 5-2 score in

favor of the ladies in Canadian red.

After Lawrence, a midfielder, and Buchanan, a defender, had fantastic showings during the 2015 World Cup, West Virginia University students and sports fans have gained a new sense of attention towards the game of soccer. A slight rise in attendance at this year’s women’s soccer games is expected with the duo’s newfound popularity after not only participating, but contributing on soccer’s largest stage for their home nation of Canada.

Ashley Lawrence scored her first career World Cup goal this year as Canada faced the Netherlands while Kadeisha Buchanan was named the Hyundai Young Player after the World Cup wrapped-up in Vancouver, Canada.

Canada’s opening Toronto Pan Am Games matchup with Ecuador was a confidence booster, as the Ecuador roster is loaded with former World Cup veterans. The Canadians are the defending Pan Am Games champions and are without a doubt expected

to compete for their next medal.

According to Canada Women’s National Team head coach John Herdman, the Toronto Pan Am games are naturally the best way to prepare Canada’s young talents for the next level of competition, including the Olympics and further on down the road, the World Cup. “This is the part of the future. We definitely have a lot of flair, too, and I like to keep the ball a lot, get a lot of touching on the ball.

You’ll see that more from

this young generation,” Buchanan told The Toronto Star after Canada’s performance against Ecuador. The Canadian’s youthful roster played a huge role in the win.

“We want a shutout,” Buchanan said after describing the last few minutes of the match. Goalie Stephanie Labb will miss the next game after a late red card that proceeded to an early exit for her. With just minutes left in the match, Ecuador made a few easy scores, withering down Canada’s near shutout style of play.

Just over 10,000 fans attended Lawrence, Buchanan and the rest of the Canada squad’s match on July 11. Their next objective is to beat Costa Rica on Wednesday, July 15 following a match against Brazil to end preliminary competition on Sunday, July 19.

Semi-final matches will be played on Wednesday, July 22 with the championship game set for July 25.

Eight total women’s teams will compete at the Pan Am Games. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

BLACK BEARS

Black Bears return home after six-game trip by nicole curtin managing editor @nicolec_WVU

The West Virginia Black Bears finished a six-game road trip Monday night with a 4-2 loss to the Vermont Lake Monsters.

The road trip wasn’t all bad though. Last Wednesday the Black Bears ventured to Lowell, Mass., to take on the Lowell Spinners.

They dropped the first game against the Spinners with the only run coming from a wild pitch in the sixth inning scoring short stop Kevin Newman who was on base from a hit earlier in the inning.

Thursday night the Black Bears came back in full force with a 12-3 win over the Spinners. Lowell took an early 1-0 lead in the first inning but West Virginia scored seven runs in the second inning stretching the lead too far for the Spinners to catch up. Right fielder Logan Hill had a huge game with 4 RBI, a home run and a

grand slam and catcher Daniel Arribas went 3 for 5 at the plate with an RBI and two runs scored. Left fielder Alex Bastardo also contributed an RBI and a double.

On Friday four pitchers combined to earn the team’s first shut out of the season, 3-0, to get the series win. Pitchers Bret Helton, Nick Hibbing, Jonathan Minier and Sean Keselica each contributed to the victory. First baseman Albert Baur started the offense off going 2-for-3 with an RBI and second baseman Ulises Montilla hit a tworun single.

Following the series win over the Lowell Spinners, the Black Bears headed to Vermont to face the Lake Monsters.

In Saturday’s game the Black Bears rallied using a three-run homer in the ninth inning from Hill, his third home run in the season by that point, to take the 7-3 win over the Lake Monsters. Second basemen Kevin Kramer also

scored in two runs and third baseman Mitchell Tollman sent two runners home on a double in the eighth inning.

Sunday was a different story. Vermont was able to defeat West Virginia 5-4 after being down four runs until the seventh inning. The Black Bears held the lead after scoring runs from an RBI single in the first from Baur, an RBI double from center fielder Casey Hughston and a double from Montilla that brought in two more runs in the second inning.

The four-run lead wasn’t enough, as the Lake Monsters scored one run in the bottom of the second and they kept coming. In the third inning, Vermont short stop Richie Martin hit a two-run home run, bringing the deficit to one run. The Lake Monsters tied it up in the sixth inning and a single RBI in the seventh inning sealed in the win.

Monday’s series finale game ended in another

West Virginia Black Bears catcher Chris Harvey awaits a pitch in a game two weeks ago. loss for the Black Bears, 4-2. The score was 0-0 until two base runners for the Lake Monsters came home on a ground ball.

West Virginia was the next to score, in the top of the sixth, with a RBI dou-

ble from left fielder Ty Moore.

Vermont returned in the bottom of the inning with another ground ball to tie the game, and a two-run homer in the eighth inning finished the game. The

Black Bears are now 10-13 on the season and return to home action tonight against the State College Spikes at 7:05 p.m. at the Monongalia Ballpark. ncurtin@mail.wvu.edu

Kansas State quarterback Jake Waters drops back to pass during their game against West Virginia last season.

Kansas State must reload without Waters, Lockett by connor murray sports writer @Dailyathenaeum

After registering his third nine-win season in four years, head coach Bill Snyder has a major rebuilding process on his hands this season at Kansas State.

Led by a dynamic quarterback in Jake Waters and the best wide receiver in school history, Tyler Lockett, the Wildcats finished 7-2 in the Big 12 last season and qualified for their fifth-straight bowl game.

This year, Snyder will have to retool his offense as Waters and Lockett have graduated, leaving a major void that needs to be filled in a hurry.

While it may seem like K-State will be too busy rebuilding to make any noise in the conference this season, you can never count out a Bill Snyder coached team. A recent inductee into the college football Hall of Fame, Snyder has made a career out of proving people wrong, making what was a fledgling program at Kansas State when

he was first hired into a constant Big 12 contender.

For the Wildcats to contend again in 2015, they’ll need to keep up the defensive intensity that helped them limit opponents to just 23.2 points and 369.3 yards per game last season.

Returning six defensive starters from the 2014 defense will help provide enough continuity to make that possible, and if it happens, the Wildcat offense’s potential offensive deficiencies could be masked enough to keep them competitive throughout the

year.

A major question mark for the Wildcats resides at the quarterback position, where there appears to be no clear-cut replacement ready to take Waters’ spot just yet. Junior Joe Heubner is the odds-on favorite according to some, but whoever is under center will have a tough task on his hands in replacing one of the league’s best signal callers from the past two seasons.

Snyder’s group of new faces will have a few games to gel and ease into the

new season as the Wildcats open the year with three non-conference tilts, home against South Dakota, on the road against University of Texas San Antonio and home against Oklahoma State.

The Wildcats have to find some kind of identity to lean on in those first three games, however, as their first three conference games will turn up the heat on this team in a hurry. Kansas State travels to Stillwater to take on a dark horse Oklahoma State team to open its Big

12 schedule, then takes on TCU and Oklahoma at home in consecutive weeks.

If they can find a couple of wins in the first five conference games, the Wildcats will be sitting pretty to extend their bowl streak to six-straight seasons, as a three-game stretch against Texas Tech, Iowa State and Kansas provides an opportunity to stack some wins together before a season finale home game against West Virginia Dec. 5. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

FOOTBALL

TCU’s Doctson heads up Big 12 receiving class by connor murray sports writer @dailyathenaeum

From West Virginia’s Kevin White’s earth-shattering senior season that made him a Biletnikoff finalist and top-10 pick, to Tyler Lockett re-writing the record book at Kansas State, the wide receiver talent in the Big 12 in 2014 was some of the best in the nation.

White and Lockett have moved on to the NFL, and a new crop of receiver talent is slated to take on bigger roles heading into this season.

Here are the top-five receivers in the conference in 2015: 1.

Josh Doctson – Senior, TCU There were plenty of major contributors to TCU’s highly potent offense last season, but receiver Josh Doctson was the biggest of the Horned Frogs’ big play threats, and I expect no change from that in 2015.

During his junior season, Doctson tallied 1,018 receiving yards on just 65 catches.

His 15.7 yards per catch and 11 touchdowns are a perfect illustration of his gamebreaking ability within TCU’s offense.

His next-level speed and ability to separate from defenders and high-point the football, along with the fact that he will be catching passes from the preseason Heisman favorite in Trevone Boykin, make him a hot NFL prospect in his senior year.

2.

Corey Coleman – Junior, Baylor Listed at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds, Corey Coleman is never going to be the type of receiver who physically dominates a defender, but with the kind of production he put up in his sophomore season, it’s clear he doesn’t need to. Serving as the lightning to senior Antwan Goodley’s thunder, Coleman hauled in 64 receptions for 1,119 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2014. He showed a knack for making big plays, averaging 17.5 yards per catch in 2014. With Goodley out of the picture, Coleman is likely to garner more looks from whoever is under center for the Bears this season, and should see his production continue to rise.

3.

Jakeem Grant – Senior, Texas Tech Another member of the mighty mouse category, the 5-foot-7, 169 pound Jakeem Grant will not wow you with his size or strength. But much like Coleman, Grant’s limited size has done nothing to limit his productivity at Texas Tech. For the second-straight season, Grant hauled in 60-plus passes and scored seven touchdowns, all while dealing with uncertainty at the quarterback position. With Patrick Mahomes taking the lead as the signal caller in the latter stages of the season, it could finally be time for the Red Raiders to have some continuity at the position, which

will spell big time success for Grant as a senior.

4.

Sterling Shepard – Senior, Oklahoma One of the toughest covers in the league last season, Sterling Shepard heads into his senior season as one of the Big 12’s best receivers. Despite missing three games toward the end of the season, Shepard caught 51 balls for 970 yards and five touchdowns last season. He caught just one ball for 13 yards in the last two games of the season, so it’s safe to say his numbers could have been a lot loftier if he had stayed healthy. Provided he can stay on the field, Shepard will be one of the biggest offensive weapons in the conference this season.

5. KD Cannon – Sophomore, Baylor With how crowded Baylor’s receiving corps were heading into last season, it would have been easy to overlook a true freshman in KD Cannon. After the numbers he put up in 2014, however, it is nearly impossible to overlook him now. The Mount Pleasant, Texas native hauled in 58 receptions for 1,030 yards and eight touchdowns in 2014. Heading into his sophomore season, Cannon will be armed with the confidence he gained in that breakout first year and is sure to be featured more in head coach Art Briles’ offense in 2015. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Several of the West Virginia University football team’s best players were named to the watch lists of major awards over this past week, as the Mountaineers prepare for an extremely important season under fifth-year head coach Dana Holgorsen.

Headlining the list of potential honorees is senior safety Karl Joseph, who last week was also named to the watch list for the Bednarik Award, which is given out every year by the Maxwell Football Club to the player deemed to be the best defensive player in college football.

The Football Writers’ Association of America announced Joseph to the Bronko Nagurski Trophy watch list, which is also given out to college football’s defensive player of the year. Last year the trophy was awarded to Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright, who became the

sixth man to win both the Bednarik and Nagurski Trophies in the same season.

Joseph was also named a candidate for the Jim Thorpe Award, which is awarded to the best defensive back in the nation.

Joseph was named an AllBig 12 First Team selection last season, finishing second on the team with 92 tackles, forcing three fumbles and recording one interception.

Three other Mountaineer football players have been tipped as candidates for national awards, as well.

On Friday, junior center Tyler Orlosky was announced as a member of the Outland Trophy watch list, awarded by the FWAA to college football’s best interior lineman from either side of the ball. One of college football’s most prestigious awards, the Outland Trophy was awarded last year to Iowa tackle Brandon Scherff.

Orlosky is also a member of the Rimington Tro-

phy watch list, which is given out to the best center in college football. The last West Virginia Mountaineer to win the award was consensus All-American Dan Mozes in 2006, who went on to a brief NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings.

West Virginia’s leading tackler last season, linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, is also on the radar for a major national award after he was announced as a candidate for the Rotary Lombardi Award, handed out to the best lineman or linebacker in college football.

But perhaps none of the aforementioned Mountaineer players have a better shot to bring home some hardware than kicker Josh Lambert, who was named to the watchlist Lou Groza Award for college football’s best kicker.

After a record-setting 2014 season that saw Lambert pass an all-time NCAA mark with 16 made field goals of 40 yards or more, Lambert was one of three finalists for the

Groza Award, but lost out to Maryland’s Brad Craddock.

Lambert will have to contend again with Craddock and with last year’s third finalist, Florida

State’s deadly accurate Roberto Aguayo, the 2013 award winner, who has missed just four field goals in his collegiate career.

Tiger Woods insists he will not go quietly ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) -- Winless in nearly two years, Tiger Woods at least has experience on his side at St. Andrews.

It has been 20 years since he first played the Old Course as a 19-yearold amateur and heard the secret was to hit it hard and hit it left.

After playing the British Open four times at St. Andrews, and winning twice, he realized that wasn’t the case.

There are bunkers to avoid and angles to create, and it can change with the slightest shift in direction of the notorious wind.

Whether that’s enough to carry him this week depends more on his golf, which he says is not as hopeless as it might

appear.

“I’m still young. I’m not 40 yet,” said Woods, who has five months left in his 30s.

“I know some of you guys think I’m buried and done, but I’m still right here in front of you. Yeah, I love playing. I love competing, and I love playing these events.”

He just doesn’t win them - his last major was the 2008 U.S. Open - and it’s rare he even contends since he chose last year to change his swing about the same time he was trying to recover from another round of injuries.

Hope comes from more than just his affection for St. Andrews.

Woods said the way he struck the ball in his last

tournament round - a 67 at The Greenbrier Classic to tie for 32nd - was as good as he has in two years.

“That was awfully nice to be able to do coming into this week,” he said. “I’ve hit the ball just as well in my practice rounds.”

If that’s the case, that would make this an important week because it would be the first time since his last victory - August 2013 at Firestone that he goes into a major with good health and a reasonable idea what to expect.

Consider his last four majors: -He was out three months because of back surgery, missed the cut in his return at Congres-

sional, and then had his worst 72-hole finish in a major at the British Open.

-He withdrew in the final round at Firestone after jarring his lower back, showed up late for the PGA Championship and missed the cut.

-He took two months off to fix a short game in disarray and returned at the Masters, where he tied for 17th. Woods said he “had a chance to win” at Augusta National, but he was 10 shots behind going into the final round and ended up 13 shots behind Jordan Spieth.

-He shot the worst score of his career (85) at the Memorial, and then posted his highest 36-hole score (156) to miss the cut at the U.S. Open.

“Obviously, the previous majors were a little bit more difficult,” Woods said.

“Last year, coming off surgery on my back and trying to get back and trying to get my feels back, meanwhile trying to making a swing change all at the same time was very difficult. I had some pretty apparent flaws in my technique.”

He called The Greenbrier, where he finished six shots out of the lead, a “very, very good sign.”

Experience should not be dismissed at the home of golf.

Tony Lema in 1964 was the last player to win a British Open at St. Andrews without ever having competed on the Old

Course.

Louis Oosthuizen (2010 winner) and John Daly (1995) previously played the Dunhill Cup. That’s one obstacle facing Spieth, who is trying to become the first player to capture the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open in the same year.

He did play a practice round on his way to the Walker Cup in 2011. And he played 18 holes upon his arrival Monday from his playoff win at the John Deere Classic.

Still, the betting favorite is a 21-year-old Old Course rookie.

“You need to learn it.

The course changes so much with different wind directions,” said Justin Rose, who won the St. Andrews Links Trophy as an amateur and is a regular at the Dunhill Links on the European Tour.

“You get a better idea of where the better angles are, where the better layups are with certain winds, and the pin placement can change so much when you have greens that are 60 to 100 yards wide or long.”

Woods didn’t hit into a single bunker when he won by eight shots in 2000 to complete the career Grand Slam, and he led over the final 63 holes in 2005 when he won by five.

In his most recent Open at St. Andrews, he got caught on the wrong side of the draw and finished 13 shots behind Oosthuizen.

And while he knows and loves the Old Course, he’s not used to seeing it this way - green from rain, with intervals of rain expected during the week.

“You can’t quite chase it like you normally do,” Woods said.

For Spieth, experience comes from winning four times this year, including two majors.

“It’s a golf course where you can have four, five, six different wind directions,” Oosthuizen said.

“I think you need to know where the dangers are with certain types of wind.

But you know, the form that he’s on now, I think he’s still the guy that everyone will be chasing.”
