Discussion sheds light on recovery by kayla asbury associate city editor @kaylaasbury_

Hope. Transformation.

Family. Peace.

These are only a few things recovery gave to panelists from the Multiple Pathways to Recovery event yesterday evening.

The event was hosted

by West Virginia University’s Collegiate Recovery Program, which “offers a safe environment where students in recovery can achieve academic success while enjoying a

genuine college experience, free from alcohol and other drugs,” according to its website.

The program focuses on promoting any type of recovery, from addictions to mental health issues.

“It’s not that we don’t want to talk about addiction, but we’ve talked endlessly about the problem, now we’ve got to talk endlessly about the solution,” said Susie Mullens, an organizer of the event.

Seven panelists from all walks of life offered their stories of addiction and

long-term recovery.

The event allowed those in attendance to see people in recovery and aimed to reduce the stigma around long-term recovery from addiction, according to Mullens.

“Getting things out of the darkness and addressing the stigma. Having people see these are everyday, wonderful people who want to contribute, who want to give back, who want to make things better at the University,” Mullens said.

The way to reduce stigma around addiction and re-

covery is more education, according to Kevin Blankenship, panelist and founder of Jacob’s Ladder, a long-term addiction treatment center for young men.

“I think we need to start talking to kids in grade school,” Blankenship said.

“That’s how we’re creating all of these addiction problems right now. We’re not educating them, we’re not giving them the tools and the resources they need at an early enough time.”

Gold, Blue and You Campaign raises University support

FUN BEFORE FINALS

by corey mcdonald staff writer @coreymacc

In conjunction with A State of Minds Campaign, West Virginia University Foundation recently kicked off its Gold, Blue and You Campus Campaign.

As a subsidiary of the State of Minds Campaign, this campus campaign is meant to inform, educate and solicit private support from faculty and staff to financially strengthen WVU’s students, faculty, staff and programs through annual giving.

“The entire University community benefits from gifts made to the (Gold, Blue and You Campaign),” said Mary Esposito, associate director of the University Fund for WVU Foundation. “Through the campaign WVU faculty and staff are able to give to units, programs, or funds they feel

Prosecutor: Hundreds of pot plants grown where eight were killed Dana Rhoden, who was killed along with her three children, her ex-husband, and three other relatives, “always wanted what was best for her kids,” Scioto Valley Local School District Superintendent Todd Burkitt said Monday.

The youngest victim, Christopher Rhoden Jr., was a 16-year-old freshman at Piketon High School, which has just 530 students.

“He was the first one that if he thought that someone wasn’t being treated fairly or felt like someone wasn’t being treated appropriately, he would speak up about it,” Burkitt said.

The teen’s siblings 19-year-old Hanna Rhoden and 20-year-old Clarence “Frankie” Rhoden - also had attended the school.

All eight autopsies have been completed, and while authorities have released no details about a motive, the Attorney General’s office did confirm Monday

WVU to celebrate World Intellectual Property Day

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)— Four days after the calculated killings of eight people in rural Ohio, a prosecutor revealed Monday that marijuana was found at some of the crime scenes, including a grow-house sheltering hundreds of plants.

“It wasn’t just somebody sitting pots in the window,” Pike County Prosecutor Rob Junk told The Columbus Dispatch.

The victims - all members of an extended family - were fatally shot in the head, including a young mother whose newborn baby was sleeping beside her Friday morning. That baby, another infant and a toddler were spared.

The victims were remembered on Monday as loyal and caring people.

More than a dozen counselors, clergy and psychologists arrived at the local high school to help friends and neighbors handle their grief.

While this year’s annual Gold, Blue and You Campaign kicked off on April 4, gifts made up until June 30 count towards this years campus campaign.

“Participation is key in this campaign,” Esposito said. More than 1,400 people contributed to the campaign last year and the foundation hopes it can increase that number.

There is no minimum donation limit for participants; all members of the campus community are encouraged to give back. Participants can donate to specific departments, colleges, programs or student scholarships. Only WVU employees can donate through a payroll deduction, however everyone can give online, by phone or through the mail. For more information visit http://wvuf.org/ content/gold-blue-you

Many know the meaning of intellectual property but don’t understand how it works or why it’s important.

That’s why the World Intellectual Property Organization created World Intellectual Property Day in 2010.

Today marks the first year West Virginia University will be involved in the festivities, with an afternoon of lectures and discussions at the Media Innovation Center inside Evansdale Crossing.

The event is from 1-5:30 p.m., with the involved speakers sparking community discussions throughout the afternoon.

“I think (shows like) Shark Tank have really heightened the idea that in order to become a new businessperson, you have to have a patent,” said Katherine Cappellari, assistant director of the Health Sciences Center’s Technology Transfer. “But there’s more to it than that.”

Cappellari explained intellectual property also covers trade secrets, copyright and trademark, and knowledge of these areas is crucial in engaging creativity and innovation.

“This year, we are exploring the future of culture in the digital age:

how we create it, how we access it, how we finance it,” WIPO said about the celebration. “We will look into how a flexible intellectual property system helps ensure the artists and creative industries are properly paid for their work so they can keep creating.”

Cappellari said this event will help the community better understand intellectual property and help promote the growth of startup businesses and companies.

Speakers include Lawrence Hornak, a former WVU professor who used intellectual property to start his own business and Tremonti Consulting’s Heidjer Staecker, who will talk about the outside-of-the-box commercialization of intellectual property.

The WVU Law Clinic and local legal librarians will be at the event to discuss what services they can provide involving intellectual property.

“If you’re a student interested in starting a business,” Cappellari said, “Or think they have any type of product they can commercialize, whether it be for a copyright or a trademark…this (event) would be a great place to start.”

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally Monday, April 25, 2016, in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.

Anti-Trump pact unites his rivals on eve of five primaries BORDEN, Ind. (AP)—Declaring the Republican presidential contest at “a fork in the road,” Ted Cruz and John Kasich defended their extraordinary new alliance on Monday as the party’s last, best chance to stop Donald Trump, even as the New York billionaire surged toward another big delegate haul.

Trump, the Republican front-runner, lashed out at what he called collusion by desperate rivals, intensifying his attacks on the GOP presidential nomination system on the eve of Tuesday’s round of primary elections in the Northeast.

“If you collude in business, or if you collude in the stock market, they put you in jail,” Trump said as he campaigned in Rhode Island.. “But in politics, because it’s a rigged system, because it’s a cor-

rupt enterprise, in politics you’re allowed to collude.”

“It shows how pathetic they are,” he said of his Republican rivals.

Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland hold primaries Tuesday along with Rhode Island.

Cruz, a Texas senator, and Kasich, the Ohio governor, announced the terms of an unprecedented agreement late Sunday night to coordinate primary strategies in three of the 15 remaining primary states.

Kasich will step back in the May 3 Indiana contest to let Cruz bid without interference for voters who don’t like Trump.

Cruz will do the same for Kasich in subsequent contests in Oregon and New Mexico.

The arrangement does

not address Tuesday’s primaries, where Trump is expected to add to his already hefty delegate lead.

Yet the shift offers increasingly desperate Trump foes a glimmer of hope in their long and frustrating fight to keep him from amassing enough delegates to seal his nomination and avoid a contested national convention in July.

Ignoring the Northeast on Monday, Cruz insisted, “We are at a fundamental fork in the road,” as he campaigned in Indiana.

“It is big news today that John Kasich has decided to pull out of Indiana to give us a head-to-head contest with Donald Trump,” the fiery conservative told reporters. “That is good for the men and women of Indiana. It’s good for the country to have a clear and direct choice.”

The plan carries risks - especially as Trump bashes a “rigged” nomination system. Some wouldbe Cruz supporters in Indiana agreed with Trump’s criticism.

“That’s kind of sneaky,” said Joe Conder, a 75-yearold retired civil engineer from Scottsville, who is deciding between Cruz and Trump. “It’s more about politics than getting things done.”

Kasich sent mixed messages as he addressed the pact for the first time while campaigning in Philadelphia. Asked what Indiana voters should do next week, the Ohio governor urged them to vote for him.

“I’ve never told them not to vote for me. They ought to vote for me,” Kasich said just 13 hours after promising to give Cruz “a clear path” in Indiana.

He said he had simply agreed not to spend “resources” in Indiana.

Trump is the only Republican candidate who can clinch the GOP presidential nomination before his party’s national convention. Yet his path is narrow.

The front-runner needs to win at least four of the five Northeastern states on Tuesday. He enters the day with 845 delegates, 392 short of the 1,237 needed to represent his party in the general election in November.

Eliminated from reaching that total in the primaries, Cruz and Kasich can only hope to block Trump from reaching a majority - and a first-round convention victory - and thus force a contested convention where delegates could select a different nominee.

“It is now abundantly

clear that nobody is getting to 1,237,” Cruz declared Monday. “We are headed to a contested convention. And at a contested convention, Donald Trump is in real trouble.”

Trump was also the target on the Democratic side as Hillary Clinton eyed Tuesday primary victories she hoped would all but seal her victory over Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.

The former secretary of state ignored Sanders as she campaigned in Delaware, assailing Trump as being out of touch with average Americans.

“If you want to be president of the United States, you’ve got to get familiar with the United States,” Clinton said. “Don’t just fly that big jet in and land it and go make a big speech and insult everybody you can think of.”

Cleveland settles lawsuit over Tamir Rice shooting for $6 million CLEVELAND (AP)—The city on Monday reached a $6 million settlement in a lawsuit over the death of Tamir Rice, a 12-year-old black boy shot by a white police officer while playing with a pellet gun outside a recreation center.

An order filed in U.S. District Court in Cleveland said the city will pay out $3 million this year and $3 million the next. There was no admission of wrongdoing in the settlement.

Family attorney Subodh Chandra called the settlement historic but added: “The resolution is nothing to celebrate because a 12-year-old child needlessly lost his life.”

The wrongful death suit filed by his family and estate against the city and officers and dispatchers who were involved alleged police acted recklessly when they confronted the boy on Nov. 22, 2014.

Video of the encounter shows a cruiser skidding

to a stop and rookie patrolman Timothy Loehmann firing within two seconds of opening the car door. Tamir wasn’t given first aid until about four minutes later, when an FBI agent trained as a paramedic arrived. The boy died the next day.

Tamir’s death has fueled the Black Lives Matter movement that firmly took root in 2014 after Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York City died at the hands of police. Grand juries declined to indict officers in those two deaths and in the shooting of Tamir.

A trial is pending for a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by Brown’s family.

Garner’s family received a $5.9 million in a settlement with New York City last year.

In the Rice family lawsuit, Samaria Rice had alleged that police failed to immediately provide first aid for her son and caused intentional infliction of

emotional distress in how they treated her and her daughter after the shooting.

The officers had asked a judge to dismiss the lawsuit. Loehmann’s attorney has said he bears a heavy burden and must live with what happened.

Tamir’s estate has been assigned $5.5 million of the settlement. A Cuyahoga County probate judge will decide how the amount will be divided. Samaria Rice, Tamir’s mother, will receive $250,000. Claims against Tamir’s estate account for the remaining $250,000.

Tamir’s father, Leonard Warner, was dismissed in February as a party to the lawsuit.

Chandra said the Rice family remains in mourning over Tamir’s death.

“The state criminal justice process cheated them out of true justice,” Chandra said.

A somber Mayor Frank Jackson said at a news conference Monday that

“A lot of times, felons have a hard time getting jobs, even when they’re in recovery and they’ve made a new life for themselves, they can’t always do well for themselves...” Blackwell said. “Job creation in the state could stem from WVU.” Decreasing stigma is essential to promoting recovery, according to Olivia Dale Pape, a panelist in long-term recovery.

“We have to be willing to put the word out there, whether you’re in recovery or you’re interested in helping,” Pape said. “There’s a stigma attached to it, the stigma will continue to exist if we continue to be quiet.”

There are more than 160

collegiate recovery programs nationwide, according to Mullens.

“This is the first and only formal (collegiate recovery program) in West Virginia. So it’s important for us to have something so students in recovery know they have an option at this school that’s going to support them and provide an opportunity for them to be in school with other students who are recovering,” Mullens said.

There is an all-recovery support group that meets at 12 p.m. every Wednesday in the Cacapon room in the Mountainlair.

Continued from page 1 The panelists offered their opinion on how to change the culture at WVU through recovery.

“Everybody knows WVU is the number one ranked party school, all the stuff that goes along with the stigma and atmosphere we’ve generated in the community. I would like to see rankings come out in a few years with West Virginia University as the number one recovery school,” said Dustin Daniels, a panelist and recovery coordinator at Jacob’s Ladder.

Joey Blackwell, a panelist and WVU alumni, said the University should use

“there is no price you can put on the life of a 12-yearold child.” He said the shooting “should not have happened” but didn’t elaborate.

Jackson said a use-offorce committee is examining the circumstances of the shooting to determine if Loehmann and his training officer, Frank Garmback, should be disciplined.

Steve Loomis, president of the Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association, said in a news release that the Rice family should use part of the settlement to educate children about the dangers of handling real and replica firearms.

Loomis said something positive must come from the “tragic loss.”

The officers had responded to a 911 call in which a man drinking a beer and waiting for a bus outside Cudell Recreation Center reported that a man was waving a gun and pointing it at people. The

Providing quality content, news In recent times, news publications have slowly shifted to a primarily digital front.

However, not everything published online is as salient or well-researched as one may initially believe.

The Odyssey Online’s “About” page on its website claims it attracts 30 million unique monthly visitors, but this doesn’t necessarily mean it provides quality content for its readers. The Odyssey Online and similar open-contribution websites do no one any favors by publishing articles with time-wasting subject matter that serves no real purpose.

Because it sources its writing staff from universities across the country, The Odyssey claims it is a chorus of millennial voices. However, in reality, it is simply a collection of uninformed blog posts that falsely claim to offer realworld writing experience for contributors.

Due to a notoriously easy

The Odyssey is written by college students across the country. application process, almost anyone can be a contributor, regardless of writing skill or intellect. The result is a myriad of listicles, opinion pieces not supported by factual evidence and open letter-style posts.

The Odyssey’s biggest

problem is that its content is void of true meaning or depth.

Briefly glancing through The Odyssey’s content makes it clear these articles are simply written to pander to the uninformed and easily amused.

Articles with titles like “5 Stages of Grief During Finals

Week,” “Did Beyonce Offend Us?” and even “Everything You Will Miss If You Commit Suicide” are mere ramblings written by uninspired students meant to attract pageviews, not provide new perspectives or generate intelligent discussion.

Instead of encouraging its writers to push the boundaries of their journalistic skill and become better writers for it, it seems The Odyssey and similar websites like Buzzfeed are satisfied with pushing out shovelfuls of clickbait on a daily basis. It is one step above Tumblr: An echo chamber of thoughts, seemingly reposted and republished mindlessly by people with little interest in actual world issues. A suspicious lack of news stories on its front page and an overabundance of “500 Words,” “Scene” and “Lifestyle” pieces illustrate this concern.

The students who write for The Odyssey should be learning how to be better journalists through their writing, but this is not encouraged by the company they work for because no guidance or words of improvement are given after an article is published. In fact, The Odyssey states its content ideas are chosen by

its writers and are picked after a “rigorous editorial process,” insinuating it gives its contributors no direction throughout the entire writing process.

In the long run, this does more harm than good as a new generation of people enter the workforce and struggle because their “experience” in writing is not as legitimate as they may have thought.

Listicles and rant-filled, unsupported opinion pieces have their place in the world, but this place is on a blog, not a website selling itself as a “news, politics...ideas, tech and future” site.

If students wish to create entertaining and unprofessional articles, they should do so. However, they should submit them to Buzzfeed or create their own blog, not try to pass off this type of work as experience in the field of journalism. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Where ‘Powerpuff Girls’ fails, ‘Steven Universe’ succeeds kody goff columnist @retrosyk

Cartoon Network has drawn a lot of negative attention with its reboot of the beloved cartoon series “The Powerpuff Girls.” Fans of the original are not staying quiet about their discontent with the reboot, yet the series’ creative team maintains the show is being lambasted for its blatant encouragement of progressive social ideals.

However, “Powerpuff Girls” could learn a thing or two from its progressive predecessors. Another show which wears progressivism on its sleeve but is well-liked by nearly every cartoon lover, “Steven Universe,” contrasts with the new “Powerpuff Girls” in that it has a real heart which shines through to viewers while administering a healthy dose of sensible social commentary.

Before jumping into the argument, I want to make this much clear: Cartoons are not, and have never been, just for children.

Large chunks of popular culture have been influenced by cartoons. When animation was first captivating audiences, it was played before major motion pictures. Most of the world’s first exposure to Superman was through Max Fleischer’s famous animated features, and in Japan, what we know as anime has massive cultural significance for people of all ages.

With this in mind, it’s clear cartoons can be much

tvtropes.org

The ‘Powerpuff Girls’ reboot has not met viewers’ expectations. more than just slapstick, cat-and-mouse comedies when given the right direction, so when the “Powerpuff Girls” reboot decided to take on serious issues, no one was surprised. “Steven Universe,” a fellow Cartoon Network property, is already well known for its respectful attitudes toward sensitive gender-related issues, so the creators probably assumed “Powerpuff Girls” would appeal to the same type of audience.

“Steven Universe” is so well-received because of its interesting plot and relatable characters, not to mention its stunning visu-

als and fitting soundtrack.

This is a show which very clearly has love and effort poured into it, and both young and old audiences clearly understand this.

Numerous websites have sought to introduce new adult viewers to the show; a Buzzfeed review from 2015 even said, “It’s the show we wish we had as children.”

The gender politics of “Steven Universe” are very subtle, yet well-integrated into the cartoon’s story and message. However, “Steven Universe” succeeds where “Powerpuff Girls” fails: It focuses on being an exceptional piece of art first and

spreading a sociopolitical message second.

When previews of “Powerpuff Girls” finally started to air, people noticed many things were off about the show. Most notably, there were ham-fisted “girl power” messages littered throughout the stories. The messages were blatantly lowbrow to the point of insult; for example, a preview clip released by Cartoon Network on YouTube revealed a lumberjack-style antagonist who wants Townsville to be— you guessed it—“manly” again.

Aside from plot horrors,

a change in art style from the original series made the characters look awkward and out of place. To add to the already massive pile of gripes, there were numerous noticeable animation errors and poor attempts at humor that made use of outdated Internet memes, causing them to fall embarrassingly flat.

It soon became clear to viewers that the new “Powerpuff Girls” was a soulless marketing ploy solely intended to draw in those with nostalgia for the original and fans of shows like “Steven Universe.” A brief article on LGBTQ Nation

titled “Powerpuff Girls episode features ‘transgender horse’ who’s really a unicorn” makes note of an episode which seems to espouse a heart-warming message of support for transgender individuals, but also acknowledges how clumsily it was handled. It seems there’s very little to like within this particular reboot, even among feminists.

To make matters worse, Cartoon Network unveiled toys and merchandise for the series months before the show even aired on television. This may seem reasonable, given the series’ brand recognition, but a good cartoon isn’t made just to sell toys. Merchandise has always come later for creators who care about the artistic integrity of their shows; in fact, it was quite a while before merchandise for the original “Powerpuff Girls” or “Steven Universe” hit store shelves, and the reasons why should be obvious.

The new “Powerpuff Girls” isn’t bad because it has progressive or even feminist overtones; it’s bad because it’s a lazy, cynical, unfunny show made by creators who seem unwilling to listen to and learn from criticism. Cartoons like “Steven Universe” or even the original “Powerpuff Girls” aren’t successful or well-remembered because they pandered to a niche demographic or cut corners to save money; it’s simply much easier for a show’s progressive message to be taken seriously if the show has a good heart. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Technology does not harm the workforce, should be embraced by humanity trent cunningham guest columnist @dailyathenaeum

Mankind’s fear of being displaced by technology in a productive capacity is nothing new. However, fear of technological advancements in modern society is ultimately unfounded.

In early 19th-century England, a group of textile mill workers, known as the Luddites, destroyed a great number of innovative machines in protest of the machines’ utilization. Though the machines greatly increased the productivity and output of the mills, they had significantly reduced the need for human labor within the facilities, which induced severe frustration among the textile workers. Today, the term carries an inherently negative connotation and is used to describe individuals who resist or outright oppose technological progress.

In the present digital age where the capabilities of tech-

DA

nology seem to expand on a daily basis, one may feel compelled to reflect on the Luddite perspective; not necessarily to adopt it, but to weigh whether it holds any merit in its base insinuation that the labor of humanity would ultimately be rendered obsolete by its own innovations.

Those who see a correlation between technological advancement and adverse effects on labor markets often cite how the broader stagnation of American wages began in near conjunction with the beginning of wide spread commercial utilization of computers in the 1980s.

However, it is difficult to attribute the onset of the wage stagnation solely to technology, as its rapid advancement was far from the only significant economic development of the 1980s.

History books tells us that the decade also featured the beginning of the country’s massive trade deficits with the rest of the world, as well as the wide-spread implementation of supply-side economics—a highly contro-

versial economic theory that is widely criticized for advocating tax policies that subsidize capital at the expense of labor.

There is no disputing that technology has had a significant impact on labor over the centuries, but it is difficult to characterize the impact as overall negative in nature.

To date, it’s apparent that every major technological advancement has greatly enhanced the overall productivity of our economy and has also created fertile soil for several employment opportunities to emerge for every one that was destroyed.

For example, the automobile rendered the horse and buggy obsolete while greatly expanding the manufacturing capacity of the country. The interstate highway system, while reducing demand for rails and locomotives, greatly expanded the productivity of the transportation industry as well as the demand for diesel trucks, creating work for millions.

The commercial emergence of the Internet in the

dontwasteyourtime.co.uk

The Industrial Revolution greatly reduced the need for human laborers, but this trend hasn’t continued into modern times.

1990s opened up a seemingly new world of communication and commerce. It has made it exponentially easier for smaller businesses to extend their advertising reach, providing them with the ability to maximize sales, thus giving them the need and the means to expand and add employees.

The growth of electronic commerce giants such as Amazon and the online equivalents of major tradi-

tional retailers has created a major boom in transportation and warehousing industries that more than offsets the business that has been diverted from conventional department stores.

According to a Bureau of Labor Statistics feature from TED: The Economics Daily in 2015, it was revealed that private employment increased 3.4 percent from December 2007 to June 2015, even throughout the economic re-

cession of 2009. Given this fact, the data simply do support the notion that technology is a net destroyer of jobs.

Considering the progress of things such as 3D printing and nanotechnology, that day may be on the horizon, but we can combat it by both being flexible and continually willing to re-invent the workforce on both a national and global level. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Editor’s note: Contains spoilers Picking up where major cliffhangers were left unresolved, the premiere of “Game of Thrones” proved that season six will be dark and full of terrors.

In the series’ opening, viewers catch a swooping view of Castle Black where Jon Snow’s waxy, cold figure lies bloody.

Hearing the chilling howls of Snow’s direwolf, Ser Davos awoke to find the Bastard of Winterfell dead with a sign that read “traitor” above his fallen body.

Although many viewers have held onto hope of a Jon Snow awakening conspiracy, Snow seemed as good as dead as Davos cradled his dead body into Castle Black. Greeting members of the Night’s Watch who served as Snow’s companions, Davos and company seemed to be in as much shock as fans of the show when accepting Snow’s fate.

Almost as surprising as the death of Snow, The Red Woman, Melisandre, had her own shocking surprise. As The Red Woman burst into the room where Davos and members of the Night’s Watch stood over Snow’s stiff body, there was a brief moment where it was assumed the sacred woman would resurrect The Bastard of Winterfell. Rather, the stoic woman just looked down upon Snow’s luscious curly locks with despair. Losing her King, Stannis Baratheon, and what inkling of faith she had left in Jon Snow, The Red Woman seemed desperate and lost as she sulked back to her quarters. Facing a mirror, we watched as The Red Woman uncloaked before the screen flaunting a youthful body that quickly withered and wrinkled. Removing her necklace as well, Melisandre’s transformation from glow-

ing, gorgeous red head to corpse-like gave this season the cliffhanging jumpstart it needed.

Taking the plot off course of George RR Martin’s novels, the Stark sisters seem to be in two totally different worlds of trouble.

Fleeing Winterfell and her deranged husband Ramsay, Sansa Stark accompanied once family friend and Ramsay’s pet, Theon/Reek, over the walls of the castle. Running madly from the hounds on their trail, Sansa and Theon cross frigid waters and deep snow drifts attempting to escape. Finding an uprooted tree buried amongst the snow, the two duck for cover before being sniffed out by Dreadfort hounds. Before being scooped up by Ramsay’s men, loud hooves are heard beating into the frozen ground and Brienne, who attempted to save Sansa from her “dreaded” fate last season, appears yielding a sword. Together, Brianne, Podrick and Theon slay the Dreadfort men.

Finally coming to her senses, Sansa accepts Brienne’s protection, and viewers finally breathe a sigh of relief. After seasons of torment, could Sansa truly be free of a twisted and violent fate?

While her sister may be receiving the protection she has long needed, fearless femme fatale Arya seems to finally have met her maker. Arya pays a heavy price this season for her betrayal within the House of Black and White. Now blind and homeless, Ayra is seen begging for coins when a young girl greets her with a stick.

Beating blind Arya, the young girl promises she’ll be back tomorrow to teach Arya how to fight blind. This season, viewers may see the more vulnerable side of the young Winterfell heroine.

After fleeing Meereen amidst a bloody and dangerous battle, Daenerys is found and captured by Dothraki, and the home-

Theon and Sansa flee across an icy river with Ramsay’s vicious dogs in hot pursuit. coming is not as sweet as was expected.

After walking miles through the barren desert, Daenerys greets Khal Moro, where she tries to save herself from the impending rapes and beatings she will soon face.

In Dothraki tongue, Khaleesi explains her marriage to the deceased Khal Drogo. Unknowing to her, Khaleesi sealed her fate after opening up about her Dothraki past.

Facing full fury of Dothraki traditions and customs, Daenerys is told she must spend the remainder of her days within the horse capital with the remainder of Khal widows. It’s hard to tell how long Khaleesi will be waiting for her saviors, Jorah Mor-

mont and Daario Naharis to arrive.

And as for the Lannister’s family affairs, there is a lot brewing. With Jamie and Cersei pledging to take revenge against the entire kingdom after the death of their daughter Myrcella, it will be interesting to see what the brother/sister love duo are capable of doing. As for Tyrion, the Royal Imp is facing a rough road ahead filling the shoes of Daenerys in Meereen.

Kicking off with serious budding plots, season six of “Game of Thrones” may be the bloodiest and most twisted season yet.

New mixtape releases keep hip-hop fans fired up by corey elliot A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Sometimes the anticipation for Drake’s “Views From the 6” and new music from J. Cole and Frank Ocean (if ever) leave us incessantly listening to the same old stuff.

And though mixtapes seem non existent from great artists, they’re still being pumped out from a few popular rappers. Mixtapes have almost become a lost art to artists who have already made it, especially ones that are downloadable for free.

Curren$y is the one certainty in rap who will always deliver dope instrumentals, mostly coming from one producer for an entire tape. Young Roddy gifted us his third mixtape from the Good Sense project after a two year absence, and B.o.B has been very active in the first quarter of 2016 with multiple mixtapes dropping. Give these a listen to switch it up as we await some of our favorite artists’ studio albums.

“Bourbon Street Secrets” – Curren$y & Purps This six-track mixtape dropped on April 20 for the enthusiasts of the unofficial holiday. The New Orleans-based rapper never disappoints with his mixtapes. Curren$y is steady with his music, as he’s released over 35 mixtapes during his time spent in the studio. “Bourbon Street Secrets” is the sixth tape he’s dropped in 2016, under his self-started label Jet Life. This comes on the heels of an April 1 six-track project he dropped in collaboration with Sledgren called “Revolver.” Curren$y teamed up with Purps from 808 Mafia for the beats. Rick Ross makes the

mixtape’s sole appearance with his feature on track four: “Dope Boys.”

“Good Sense 3” – Young Roddy Young Roddy is a part of Curren$y’s Jet Life label, so it’s only right that “Good Sense 3” was released on 4/20, too. Young Roddy is a bit more low-key than his Jet Life brother, Curren$y. He has only one studio album but has appeared on many of Curren$y’s mixtapes in addition to dropping a handful of his own. Before “Good Sense 3,” there was a “Good Sense 1” and “Good Sense 2,” which dropped in 2012 and 2013, respectively. The project is full of features from various artists, most notably coming from Domo Genesis on “Real Talk” and Smoke DZA on “Bonnie Parker.” Young Roddy incorporates some nice samples with smooth beats to make for a relaxing 16-track mixtape.

“E.A.R.T.H” – B.o.B Ever since his odd Twitter engagement with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, when he argued that the world is flat and not round, B.o.B has been known as quite the outspoken conspiracy theorist. That was back in January, and he even dropped a diss track for Tyson about his scientific theories titled “Flatline.” Months after the embarrassing encounter, B.o.B is continuing his theme with “E.A.R.T.H,” an acronym for Educational Avatar Reality Training Habitat. Since late 2015, B.o.B has absorbed himself in science.

He’s had mixtapes titled “NASA,” “W.A.T.E.R,” “F.I.R.E” and “Live and Direct” since Nov. 2015. It’s pretty clear what he’s passionate about. The tape includes nine songs with no features. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

B.o.B’s music has taken a more ‘scientific’ theme since his Twitter dispute with physicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

Prince was a one-man-band and a friends to many others, artist remembered NEW YORK (AP) ‑ On his own, Prince was a revolutionary recording artist and oneman band.

But the nearly-40 year career that ended with his death Thursday was hardly a private party. The other half of his musical legacy were his many collaborations and contributions, whether joining Stevie Wonder on stage in Paris for a spontaneous jam of “Superstition” or writing such future hits as “I Feel for You” and “Manic Monday” and giving them to other artists.

In an industry where collaborations with other artists and credits are negotiated as heavily as world treaties, Prince followed only one credo when it came to working with others: the love of the music.

“Oh yes, he loved helping other people,” said his friend and former fiancee Sheila E., “and helping people by saying, ‘Hey, here’s a song you might want to do or like, I think this fits you, or you know come into the studio and see if we can work together.’ “ In recent years, he boosted singer-songwriters such as Judith Hill, Lianne La Havas, Esperanza Spalding and Liv Warfield, and recorded singers like Rita Ora. Kendrick La-

mar was among the many who traveled to Paisley Park for his famous late-night jams.

Among the countless tributes to Prince over the past few days were stories of his generosity and inspiration. On her Facebook page, Erykah Badu shared a litany of memories “That time Prince was your rhythm guitarist then sent you the picture.

The time Prince was so gracious to come to your club in the hood of South Dallas and play for 4 hours into the night...The time you recorded ‘Today --- the earth song’ at Paisley Park. All the times y’all shot pool and argued over religion.”

Ken Ehrlich, the veteran producer of the Grammy Awards, told The Associated Press about luring Prince to the 2004 ceremony, where he would memorably team up with Beyonce on “Purple Rain” and “Baby, I’m a Star.”

“I had asked him on several occasions before. I had never had much success,” Ehrlich said. But as soon as he heard he would perform with Beyonce, Prince replied, “I’ll do it,” the producer said.

Prince called him and asked that they meet at a rehearsal hall in Los Angeles.

“In one day, he had laid out the entire medley” that he and Beyonce would perform, Ehrlich said.

“He put his guitar down, and he looked at me (with) a ‘look what I did’ smile,” the producer recalled. “It was like a school kid showing off for the teacher.”

Singer Kandace Springs told the Associated Press that she was contacted by Prince a couple of years ago through Twitter after he saw a YouTube video for her cover of Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.” Skeptical at first that the encouraging notes really were from Prince, she was on a plane to his home in Paisley Park within days and was asked to close his 30th anniversary concert for “Purple Rain.” At the time, she said, she was being encouraged to take on an urban hiphop sound, but she considered herself more of a jazz artist.

“He spoke straight into me, ‘You need to be who you are, not be what some other people tell you,’ “ she recalled.

Prince was so prolific a songwriter that demos or B-sides became hits for others, often by design. Cyndi Lauper and Mitch Ryder covered “When You Were Mine,” an

aching love song originally on the flip side of Prince’s single “Controversy.” Prince wrote Sheila E.’s signature hit, “The Glamorous Life,” while an early song he worked on, “I Feel for You,” became a smash for Chaka Khan. “Nothing Compares 2 U” was Sinead O’Connor’s biggest hit. For the Bangles, he wrote one of their biggest hits, “Manic Monday,” under the pseudonym “Christopher.” “(Prince) really liked our first album,” the Bangles’ Debbi Peterson told MTV UK in 1989. “He liked the song ‘Hero Takes a Fall’, which is a great compliment, because we liked his music. He contacted us, and said, ‘I’ve got a couple of songs for you. I’d like to know if you’re interested,’ and of course we were.”

Sometimes, just a phone call was enough.

In the early 1980s, Stevie Nicks was working on her solo album, “The Wild Heart.” The Fleetwood Mac singer had heard Prince’s “Little Red Corvette” on her car radio and loved it so much she decided to write an answer song, “Stand Back,” which became a Top 5 hit in 1983. While in the studio, she came up with a crazy idea: Call Prince himself to help out.

‘Fixer Upper’ is a TV must see for growing fan base NEW YORK (AP) - With all the joking and hamming for the camera that Chip Gaines does on “Fixer Upper,” it’s hard to believe that he initially was the shy half of the husband-andwife duo that’s garnered huge fans and ratings for HGTV. “He was scared of the camera at first where it was a real phobia,” said Joanna, who plays the Abbott to Chip’s Costello. “He would freeze up and then he would have to exit, and it would just be me.”

To say that edge wore off is an understatement -- he once got so comfortable that he ate a dead cockroach, just to prove he would. Joanna responded with a mix of shock, humor and disgust, and he drew plenty of laughs, including from viewers.

It’s the combination of humor, love and chemistry between Chip and Joanna that have made the Waco, Texas-based home improvement show one of HGTV’s most popular shows - its recent season finale was the fifth highest broadcast in the network’s history. As the name suggests, “Fixer Upper” has the couple taking a subpar home and remaking it into a dream house thanks to Joanna’s designs and Chip’s carpentry work. Devoted watchers now know all about Joanna’s love of shiplap (wide-wooden board siding), their four kids, and even the carpenters they use.

“We love seeing the transformations. It inspires us to see the potential in our own home,” said Tara Melodick, of Toms River, New Jersey. “(They) have such great chemistry. They

Viewers can catch ‘Fixer Upper’ on HGTV. really seem to love each other and love what they do. How many people get to make a living doing what they love most, with the person they love most?”

Even celebrities tune in.

“Ryan Reynolds has tweeted out at us a few times and Scott Foley and his beautiful wife watch the show and every now and then live tweet with us so we’ve become, you know, Twitter friends with these folks. It’s really been something else, I mean

very surreal,” said Chip.

The Gaines’ are expanding their business. Besides their real estate and construction business and “Fixer Upper,” there’s a home line with paint and rugs, a Magnolia Market store located at silos in Waco, which they recently renovated for retail and a gathering space, plus a bed and breakfast called Magnolia House in McGregor, Texas.

A book called “Magnolia Story” is scheduled for re-

lease this fall.

Other tidbits from the Gaineses: HOW THEIR MARRIAGE TURNED INTO A HOME RENOVATION PARTNERSHIP: Joanna: When we were dating, Chip was doing the whole real estate (thing).

He was renovating homes and so I would just come along with him and watch what he did. (The) first year of marriage, we just started partnering together, so honestly, we don’t know it any other way. ... We al-

ways have to be kind of together on these projects.

I need to get his input, he needs me and I think we figure out a way to balance it all out.

WHY ARE THEIR KIDS SO WELL BEHAVED? Chip: Lots and lots of editing. They are great kids.

We try to watch them really closely because obviously they didn’t ask for any of this, they’re just kids. Our oldest is 11 and youngest is six and it’s been now, almost four years, 3 1/2 years

that we’ve been doing this. ... Once that van rolls in the kids get geeked out because they know there’s all these snacks that these guys basically house in the back of these vans. All four of our kids just run to it like it’s Christmas morning.

HOW LONG DOES A HOME RENOVATION REALLY TAKE? Joanna: Depends on a house. Right now we’re working on seven homes for season four ... so the smaller homes we’ll have done in eight weeks and the larger projects will be 12 weeks. It’s definitely expedited, because in our business at home, generally it takes 4-6 months for any larger renovation.

DO CLIENTS PAY FOR THE FURNITURE? Joanna: It all depends on the client and their budget.

Our show features real clients with real budgets. The furniture budget is not part of the renovation budget, it’s something some clients add at the end. About half of our clients already have all their own furnishings, some of which I use for the reveal, and others buy the items I decorate the home with. The main reason I decorate the rooms for the reveal is because I want the clients to get the full picture of how to maximize their newly renovated space.

WILL THEY EVER LEAVE WACO? Joanna: Every day we get an email, “Come to Florida or come to New York.” As much as we’d love to, with our children being so young, we’ve decided to stay in the Central Texas area so we’re close to home. But, later, when they’re off to college I think we’d love to take our show on the road.

Maisie Williams on ‘Game of Thrones’ premiere NEW YORK (AP) ‑ Arya Stark was no coddled child.

Born with a fiercely independent spirit, she spent her teens on “Game of Thrones” braving hardship, loneliness and combat.

Physically small but handy with a sword, Arya’s creed seemed to be “You go, girl!”

Her latest challenge, imposed at the end of last season: She was struck blind as punishment for going rogue with a personal hit list. She still has bloody scores to settle. How will she cope now?

Among the legions of characters on “Game of Thrones,” Arya has remained one of its most popular throughout the first five seasons of this epic fantasy set in the make-believe continent of Westeros.

Now, as the sixth season nears (Sunday at 9 p.m. Eastern time on HBO), “GOT” devotees are ravenous for any advance intel on the show and its stars - who include Peter Dinklage, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Aiden Gillen and Sophie Turner as well as Maisie Williams, now 19, who, since she was 12, has invested Arya with her feisty charm.

So far, no beans have been spilled by any “GOT” insiders - though producers revealed months ago that this season, the plot will veer away from the George R.R. Martin books on which the show is based.

And rest assured, if you bother to press Williams on how Arya is dealing with sightlessness, she will say, in the nicest way possible, don’t waste MY time or YOURS. Arya was the British-born Williams’ first acting job, landed after an open casting call - a splashy way to enter the profession.

“I didn’t know much about television or HBO,” she says. “The reason it was so exciting was not because I thought, ‘Oh, this could be a really big TV show.’ It was more like, ‘Oh, look! Maisie got cast in SOMETHING!’” Of course, no one knew back then what a global phenomenon “Game of Thrones” would be. Williams says that hit home for her at the kickoff for season 3.

“We had our first proper premiere in L.A., and that was the first time I saw lots of fans in one place, and lots of paparazzi and cameras,” she says. “I never believed that kind of thing actually happened, and there I was, standing in the middle of it all.

That was the first time I thought, ‘Wow, my life is changing.’”

Since the beginning, she and Arya - each growing and learning - have followed somewhat parallel tracks in their development.

“I was just like Arya when I was little,” she recalls. “I was no daughter of a lord like Arya, but I definitely preferred playing with my brothers more than with my sister.

I used to watch my sister straightening and combing her hair and thought, ‘Oooh, that looks like so much effort!’”

More fashion-forward than her sackcloth-clad alter ego, Williams during a recent interview is her own version of the woman-child Arya is becoming. She is five-foot-one, chatty and candid (except for “GOT” spoilers), and, though richly punctuating what she says with giggles, she speaks thoughtfully about her future beyond “Game of Thrones,” whenever that may be.

“Just because I’ve had a very good opportunity and my foot is in the door doesn’t mean my career is going to last forever,” she says. “I have to fight for it. I have to prove that I can stay in this industry.”

But the role of Arya, and the opportunity it has given Williams to grow with it, may very well help carry her across that gulch that leaves so many child actors behind, helping her transition into future adult roles.

“We are both very different girls now than the ones we were when we first met each other,” Williams notes.

In the meantime, her current off-screen role includes keeping all those “GOT” secrets.

For instance: Even after seeing Jon Snow’s apparent death on last season’s finale, “GOT” fans have been dying to know whether Jon (Arya’s beloved older brother, portrayed by Kit Harington) is really finished - or if that scene might have been a bit of narrative sleight-of-hand.

“When we do press, everyone asks about it,” Williams says, “but we don’t answer. It’s like, ‘Oooohh, do you think I’m gonna slip up and tell?’

“People feel like they want to know what’s going to happen, but they don’t really want to know. They wouldn’t want it spoiled for them,” she insists. “So it doesn’t feel like I’m keeping a deep, dark secret.

It feels like, ‘Just wait! It’s going to be so much better with you sitting down and watching it, than with me ruining it for you by explaining it now.’”

That leads her into a childhood recollection that unfolds like a wait-for-it parable for restless fans.

“My mom told me about this hole in the floorboard of her house when she was a girl,” says Williams, “and she was able to watch what her parents wrapped for Christmas. Every year she would sit and watch. And then, every year, she was like, ‘This isn’t fun!’ And so she covered the hole and stopped looking. She realized, ‘I would rather have the surprise.’ “’Game of Thrones,’ says Williams, “is Maisie Williams stars as Arya Stark in HBO’s ‘Game of Thrones’ series. exactly the same thing.”

With Elton John’s co-sign, R&B singer Gallant strides toward stardom ATLANTA (AP) ‑ When Elton John said last year that R&B singer Gallant was “going to be huge,” the 24-year-old felt unworthy of the praise.

“It was very felt strange,” Gallant said. “It was so undeserving of me getting that type of attention. I was surprised that he was even listening to my music. He’s a legend.

To hear him speak with so much enthusiasm about me, it was surreal.”

John’s endorsement of Gallant’s single “Weight of Gold” affirmed Gallant’s inclina-

tion to stay true to himself musically.

The extra vote of confidence seems to be working for Gallant, who released his debut studio album “Ology” this month. In the past several months, Gallant has garnered fans from Moby and DJ Zane Lowe. Earlier this month, he shared the stage with Seal at Coachella.

“It made me ask myself more questions,” he said. “It makes me want to open up even more. (‘Ology’) is purely just me not letting my inner voice get away with avoiding

any answers to whatever questions I might have. Why am I acting this way? Why do I feel this way? Where am I going? I really want to just grow and evolve as a human being. It motivates me in that respect.”

The album details the depth of his insecurities and his pursuit of optimism, showcasing the soul singer’s booming falsetto voice. He was initially nervous about how the album would be received.

“It’s right on the line of me not wanting people to hear this,” he said. “Even the de-

livery on some songs, I wondered if this would be too much. ... I was hoping that it counts for something and people can connect with it.”

Gallant said his uncertainty about his music came from a place of depression. After high school, he moved from a Maryland suburb to New York to study music at NYU with expectations of launching his singing career, but the self-proclaimed “introvert’ said he often felt musically stifled and was never comfortable.

Men’s Soccer

Mountaineers return plenty of experience heading into 2016

By Roger Turner Sports Writer @RTurner_11

Friday’s annual alumni game for the WVU men’s soccer team concluded this year’s spring exhibition slate, and it will now prepare for the fall season ahead.

The West Virginia men’s soccer team finished the spring with a 3-1-1 record after posting a 7-12 record in 2015. Coach Marlon LeBlanc’s team closed out last season having made the MAC Men’s Soccer Championship Tournament as the No. 4 seed but fell to eventual conference champion Akron in the quarterfinals.

The Mountaineers return 16 players from last year’s squad, many of whom saw significant playing time a season ago, and 15 incoming freshmen who will join the roster this fall. WVU has a solid group of midfielders and forwards returning for 2016, and next year’s team has the potential to finish in the top four of the MAC standings and make it back to the conference tournament. Although the team’s schedule is still unannounced, the Mountaineers head into the summer with much to look forward to.

Junior forward Felix Angerer and sophomores Joey Piatczyc and Jad Ar-

slan will enter the fall as the team’s leading goal scorers from the spring.

Piatczyc was awarded the Player of the Year from last year’s team and recorded three goals this April to lead the Mountaineers in scoring.

A native of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Piatczyc returns as a junior in the fall and is regarded as one of the MAC’s top returning midfielders. Since being named MAC Freshman of the Year in 2014, Piatczyc has provided the Mountaineers with solid production on the field from the midfield position.

Angerer returns for his second season in a Mountaineer uniform after

transferring from University of District of Columbia for his junior season.

Originally from Bayreuth, Germany, Angerer played in 15 games last fall and matched his season total of goals scored from the fall this spring, netting two goals both seasons.

Along with Angerer and Piatczyc, Arslan returns to the field for the 2016 Mountaineers as a versatile senior who can play both the midfield and forward positions. Arslan stepped up big this spring, scoring two goals in two games for West Virginia.

The incoming recruiting class for the Mountaineers will provide significant depth for next season, and

a select few could potentially find themselves in rotation for a starting role.

LeBlanc is high on what this year’s recruits have to offer to the program and optimistic about the success this group can bring in the near future.

“All these guys have a desperate conviction to be at West Virginia University and wear the Gold and Blue,” LeBlanc said. “This recruiting class is as good and as deep as any we’ve ever had. Our program requires our student-athletes to be the best on the field, in the classroom and in the community, and this group of guys fit that mold.”

The goalie position for

WVU remains up for grabs this fall, which will prompt a position battle for current goalkeepers Stephen Banick and Konrad Dziedzic.

Incoming freshman Jose Santos from Marrero, Louisiana will also throw his name in the ring for a chance in the net for the Mountaineers, as LeBlanc will have to replace departed goalkeepers Daniel Diaz and Alec Boerner from last year.

Preseason training begins in August for the 2016 West Virginia men’s soccer team, which marks the official beginning of the upcoming regular season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Curry out at least two weeks with sprained knee OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry will miss at least two weeks for Golden State with a sprained ligament in his right knee, dealing a blow to the Warriors’ hopes of following a record-breaking season with a second straight championship.

The Warriors said an MRI on Curry’s knee Monday determined he had a Grade 1 sprain of the MCL and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.

That timetable would lead to Curry missing the rest of the first round of the playoffs and likely at least the first four games in round two if the Warriors are able to advance.

Golden State leads Houston 3-1 in its firstround series. Game 5 is Wednesday night in Oakland.

Curry was injured on the final play of the first half of Sunday’s 121-94 win in Houston when he slid awkwardly on a wet spot on the court and fell. He immediately grabbed his knee and jogged with a limp to the locker room.

He came out with the team after halftime, but sat on the bench for most

of the warmup time. After talking with coaches, he returned to the locker room with his second injury of the series. Curry had missed the previous two games with a sprained right ankle.

The Warriors thrived without Curry on Sunday, hitting eight 3-pointers in the third quarter alone to turn a tie game into a 21-point lead on the way to the easy win.

But doing that without the reigning MVP for a longer period of time figures to be more problematic.

The Warriors have gone 3-2 this season without Curry playing, including wins against the Rockets on New Year’s Eve and at home in Game 2. Golden State also lost Game 3 in Houston by one point while Curry sat with the ankle injury.

Replacing everything Curry does is almost impossible because no one has ever had the collection of skills he has with the ability to spread the defense with long-range shooting, the ballhandling to create his own shot and the playmaking that leads to easy baskets for his

teammates.

Curry led the NBA this season by averaging 30.1 points per game, while averaging 6.7 assists, 5.4 rebounds and a league-leading 2.1 steals as well. Curry made a record 402 3-pointers, eclipsing his own previous mark by 116.

While backup point guard Shaun Livingston and do-everything power forward Draymond Green can shoulder much of the playmaking load and Klay Thompson is the second-best 3-point shooter in the league, the Warriors go from a historically great team that won a record 73 games in the regular season with Curry in the lineup to a vulnerable one if he misses significant time.

With a 3-1 series lead and two potential games at home against the eighthseeded Rockets, Golden State is still primed to advance to the second round without Curry. But a second-round series against either the Los Angeles Clippers or Portland would be much more problematic.

The second round of the playoffs won’t start until this weekend at the

DAVID STATMAN SPORTS EDITOR @DJSTATMAN77

Spring Game shows secondary has a long way to go In the aftermath of the Gold-Blue Spring Game on Saturday, most of the headlines were based around an explosive performance from the WVU offense, which dropped 49 points at the Greenbrier.

The offense earned attention, but usually when an offense scores 49 points, it’s at least partially at the expense of a defense that wasn’t up to snuff. And on Saturday, the Mountaineer pass defense showed it still has quite a long way to go.

Don’t get me wrong: the WVU defense had its moments on Saturday, picking off four passes.

Linebacker Hodari Christian took one to the house, as did senior corner Antonio Crawford, who made one of the best plays of the entire game by baiting starting quarterback Skyler Howard into a risky short pass and stealing a pick-six.

In fact, one of the biggest stars of the game was backup safety (and Morgantown High School product) Shane Commodore, who intercepted William Crest’s first two passes of the game. But one of the lasting images of Commodore’s day saw the junior juked out of his shoes by the wickedly talented freshman receiver Marcus Simms on his way to one of his two touchdowns.

Commodore’s mix of highs and lows encapsulated the performance of WVU’s defense as a whole on Saturday: a few big plays mixed with a failure to consistently win the individual battles.

In examining the way the WVU defense performed on Saturday, Skyler Howard said there weren’t any busted coverages he could see.

But while West Virginia may have been secure in its scheme, everything breaks down for the Mountaineers when their defensive backs can’t keep the clamps on receivers in man coverage.

Defensive coordinator Tony Gibson runs an aggressive 3-3-5 defense featuring heavy blitzing, putting even more pressure on the secondary to cover one-on-one, and he said he needs to see improvement there.

“We have to be able to play man and I think we struggle at times giving up the deep ball,” Gibson said. “People know we’re going to blitz them and throw the ball quick. We have to be able to get the ball out quick and make tackles.”

On Saturday, breakdowns closer to the line of scrimmage allowed WVU’s offense to turn short plays into big gains.

For example, on WVU’s longest play of the day, sophomore Gary Jennings beat Nana Kyeremeh inside on a simple quick slant, then turned upfield and left the senior cornerback in the dust on a 69-yard touchdown.

If WVU intends on playing the type of defensive football they’ve become accustomed to, they need the cornerbacks—a unit that’s more or less completely rebuilt—to step up bigtime. WVU needs to find a new formula quickly after the departures of its three biggest stars in the secondary: Terrell Chestnut, Daryl Worley and Karl Joseph.

But as we saw Saturday, the pass defense is still a number of steps away from being ready for September. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

HERD IS THE WORD

ASKAR SALIKHOV/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

WVU’s Ray Guerrini rounds first earlier this month against Kansas State.

Zarbnisky, WVU look for season sweep of rival Marshall

By Alec Gearty Sports Writer @gearty83

The West Virginia University baseball team will take on the Marshall Thundering Herd for the second time this season. Tonight also marks a chance for the Mountaineers to take the season series from their instate rival.

WVU (20-18) last faced Marshall (21-16) on April 5 when the Mountaineers won, 5-4, in extra innings.

That matchup saw the starting debut of Michael Grove, who became a normal midweek pitcher, but after pitching eight plus innings on Sunday, we won’t see him again tonight.

Instead, WVU head coach Randy Mazey has

announced Braden Zarbnisky will make his secondstraight start. Zarbnisky’s first appearance against Youngstown State was brief but showed Mazey he’s capable of handling duties on the mound, not just at bat.

“Zarb showed he’s going to be a pretty good pitcher here,” Mazey said.

Zarbnisky has become a valuable asset for the Mountaineers on offense, but slowly has become another option in the WVU pitching staff.

Marshall will also have a pitcher making his second career appearance: Wade Martin. Martin holds a 2.61 ERA with his only win coming against Western Kentucky last week.

Since the Herd last met WVU, their offense has

been productive to say the least. Marshall has outscored opponents 52-26 in the last 10 games.

One of the driving forces behind its offense is Aaron Bossi, who went two-forfive against the Mountaineers earlier this season and leads the Herd in batting average (minimum 20 games).

WVU nearly threw away the game on April 5 with its countless errors. The mishaps are what propelled the Herd to generate so many opportunities and runs, including two unearned runs following the Mountaineers tying the game.

In order for both teams to seize the upper hand, both WVU and Marshall would need to limit its

careless mistakes and limit the opposition as much as possible.

WVU heads into the game after a disappointing result in Oklahoma, dropping two of three to the Sooners. Before its 12-run outburst on Sunday, WVU had registered six runs in the two games.

Through the stretch of the last four games, the Mountaineers have recorded 10 plus runs on half the occasions. For a team that struggled offensively, early in the season, the Mountaineers are putting together its offense to work and it’s paying off.

WVU catcher Ray Guerrini has been one of the consistent Mountaineers at the plate. Last time out against the Herd, Guerrini

recorded a triple, scoring the tying run.

“Ray has relished the role of a leader on this team,” Mazey said in an interview with WVUSports. com. “He’s turning into a nice, mature hitter and it’s starting to show.”

Riding the performance of its latest game, it will be crucial for the Mountaineers to show similar production going into another vital conference series against Baylor this weekend.

With three conference series remaining and having a 6-8 conference record, its time for WVU to buckle down before the excitement; and that starts with Marshall. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Simms “does everything wrong,” but makes big plays

By Chris Jackson

Associate Sports Editor @CJacksonWVU

True freshman receiver Marcus Simms does everything wrong.

Nothing seems to resemble what the coaches ask for. He doesn’t know what he’s doing a majority of the time.

But he also does everything right in terms of the box score. He scored two touchdowns in Saturday’s Gold-Blue Spring Game, a critical piece in the offense’s 49-46 victory over the defense.

“He has no clue what he is doing,” said WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen. “It is actually fun to watch.

He does everything wrong, and all he does is score touchdowns. That’s what he looks like.”

Simms’ afternoon was highlighted by a 28-yard touchdown strike from fellow early enrollee Cody Saunders, bursting his way down the sideline and juking Shane Commodore en route to the score.

It was the perfect play for Simms, who is also reminiscent of another player on the Mountaineer roster.

“When I watch him, I see myself,” said WVU junior receiver Shelton Gibson. “He’s young and out there just playing. He’s just so fast. Right now he doesn’t know how to control his speed or anything like that.”

Quarterback Skyler Howard agrees. It’s the freshman’s speed that puts others in awe.

“He’s one of those guys that will blast by people,” Howard said. “You put it up and he’ll get it. Similar to Shelton (Gibson) coming in and blowing

to settle in and let the game slow down.

And Simms seems to have worked his way into early stints on the field when the fall begins.

Sometimes doing everything wrong yields positive results.

“He has a long way to go, but he can start,” Holgorsen said. “He can stop.

He has great hand-eye coordination. He can stretch the field. He is going to be a contributor for us next year.” cgjackson@mail.wvu.edu

Wrestling

Scheffel passes the torch to younger wrestlers on WVU roster

By Joel Norman Sports Writer @StorminJNorman

When one collegiate season comes to a close, the team must replace those they will lose to graduation or transferring.

The West Virginia University’s wrestling team will lose one of its four NCAA Championship qualifiers when 184-pounder Bubba Scheffel graduates in May. In his four years at West Virginia, Scheffel qualified for the NCAA Championship three times. Replacing him will be difficult going forward.

The Mountaineers will not lose their three other qualifiers. Zeke Moisey (125 pounds), Jacob A. Smith (197 pounds) and Dylan Cottrell

(157 pounds). Moisey and Smith will both be juniors next season, while Cottrell is a soon-to-be senior.

Moisey’s West Virginia career has been stellar thus far. From initially being redshirted to making it to the final round of the 125-pound category at the NCAA Championship, Moisey did it all his freshman year. Injuries ended Moisey’s sophomore season prematurely, but he still earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Championship.

Originally, Smith was supposed to be a senior, but he was granted a hardship waiver for the 2013-14 season while he was still at Cleveland State. Now, Smith will compete in 2016-17 as a redshirt junior.

“We believe that Jake not

only deserved this, but that he will utilize the extra year to prove to the nation he is among the elite,” said head coach Sammie Henson. “He is a Mountaineer from birth and will continue to bring pride and accolades to the WVU family.”

Like Smith, Cottrell also began his collegiate wrestling tenure elsewhere before coming to West Virginia. In his first year in Morgantown, Cottrell led Mountaineer wrestlers with 50 takedowns en route to his first career NCAA Championship berth.

With Smith, Moisey and Cottrell back, Henson has three elite wrestlers to headline his program. Now the question becomes, who will join them?

The most likely candidates

are both going to be sophomores: Connor Flynn and Keegan Moore. Both made their season debuts on Dec. 4 at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational and became regulars for the rest of the season.

Flynn emerged as a the regular 165-pound wrestler over two upperclassmen.

Though he went 14-18 overall and 3-7 in duals, Flynn did finish fourth at the Big 12 Championship. He is looking to build off of a strong start last season and translate into a full year’s work of success.

Moore made his name early with a couple upsets at the Cliff Keen Invitational, then went on to go 16-10 overall. Despite battling injuries the entire season, Moore persevered and put forth

The 2016-17 West Virginia wrestling schedule has not been announced, but the wait is on. The Moun-

taineers have an excellent mix of youth and experience.

How well those two come together this coming season will determine how far West Virginia goes. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Brady to serve Deflategate penalty NEW YORK (AP) — New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady must serve a four-game “Deflategate” suspension imposed by the NFL, a federal appeals court ruled Monday, overturning a lower judge and siding with the league in a battle with the players union.

A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled 2-to-1 that Commissioner Roger Goodell did not deprive Brady of “fundamental fairness” with his procedural rulings. The split decision may end the legal debate over the scandal that led to months of football fans arguing over air pressure and the reputation of one of the league’s top teams.

It also fuels a fresh round of debate over what role, if any, the quarterback and top NFL star played in using underinflated footballs at the AFC championship game in January 2015. The Patriots won the contest over the Indianapolis Colts, 45-7, and then won the Super Bowl.

Soon after the ruling, Re-

publican presidential candidate Donald Trump opened a campaign rally in Rhode Island by sticking up for Brady, a longtime friend and golfing buddy.

“First of all let’s start by saying leave Tom Brady alone. Leave him alone.

Leave him alone he’s a great guy,” Trump said. “It’s enough. It’s enough.”

The ruling can be appealed to the full 2nd Circuit or to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it would likely be a steep and time-consuming climb even if the courts took the unusual step to consider it.

In a majority opinion written by Judge Barrington D. Parker, the 2nd Circuit said its review of labor arbitration awards “is narrowly circumscribed and highly deferential - indeed, among the most deferential in the law.”

“Our role is not to determine for ourselves whether Brady participated in a scheme to deflate footballs or whether the suspension imposed by the Commissioner should have been for three games or five games

or none at all. Nor is it our role to second-guess the arbitrator’s procedural rulings,” the opinion said. “Our obligation is limited to determining whether the arbitration proceedings and award met the minimum legal standards established by the Labor Management Relations Act.” The 2nd Circuit said the contract between players and the NFL gave the commissioner authority that was “especially broad.”

“Even if an arbitrator makes mistakes of fact or law, we may not disturb an award so long as he acted within the bounds of his bargained-for authority,” the court said.

In a dissent, Chief Judge Robert Katzmann said Goodell failed to even consider a “highly relevant” alternative penalty.

“I am troubled by the Commissioner’s decision to uphold the unprecedented four-game suspension,” Katzmann said. “It is ironic that a process designed to ensure fairness to all players has been used unfairly against one player.”
