Morgantown City Council aims to lower greenhouse emissions by corey McDonald staff writer @dailyathenaeum

A rule proposed last summer by the Environmental Protection Agency is driving entities in Morgantown toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions in order to meet the regulations imposed by the rule.

The rule, called the Clean Power Plan, relies on state

and local governments to reduce emissions at coal fired power plants, one of the main sources of environmental pollution for the state of West Virginia.

The drafted plan offers a fair amount of flexibility concerning where emissions can be cut.

“What (the Clean Power Plan) does is that it provides a whole lot of flexibility so that you don’t need to get

the reductions at the plants themselves, but you could count the reductions elsewhere,” said Evan Hansen, president of Downstream Strategies.

Downstream Strategies, a Morgantown consulting group that has been offering its environmental expertise to city officials and local residents since its founding, is one organization pushing toward reducing emissions

At the Morgantown Metropolitan Theatre on July 2, West Virginia University alumna Chelsea Malone was crowned Miss West Virginia 2015, and already has big plans for her future year as the title holder.

As the annual tour begins for Malone, she is anticipating spreading awareness and starting a discussion centering on her platform concerning mental health. Malone says this is a conversation that needs to be opened up to the public and believes the year ahead will be an inspiring one for the Morgantown native.

Malone explained how surprised she was to be crowned Miss West Virginia, along with getting the chance to publicize her platform.

“The announcement for who won was super confusing,” Malone said. “So at first I didn’t know if I won. Then I was just in shock and then after I finally realized that it was me they called I just burst

into tears and every picture is just of me ugly crying and I look awful in all of them, like I’m in pain, but honestly I was just so overwhelmed.”

Malone’s comical answer was one of many heartfelt explanations she gave as to why pageantry is such a nurturing environment for her and how much fun she has had.

“I got involved honestly at first because I really love to sing,” Malone said. “Talent is a really big part of the pageant points-wise so I just thought that that would give me another opportunity to go out and just sing.”

Malone rocked the Met Theatre crowd with a touching religious testament, which brought many to tears. “(Singing) was honestly the sole reason why I started, but then I got involved and realized my platform and some of my best friends (now) are the people I’ve met competing in these pageants,” Malone said.

Malone explained she

sen said. “What that means is that a group of business owners and home owners join together and they solicit a bid for solar installers.”

This group discount cuts the price for solar installation down significantly.

“Typically, when these arrangements have been made in other cities you get about a 25 percent discount on solar installation, because you’re buying in

bulk,” Hansen said.

Downstream Strategies is also formulating plans to work with local landlords, according to Hansen. This would allow a company to install demand reduction devices on hot water tanks on the properties.

What these devices do is shut off the tank for ten

from sources outside of coal fired power plants while finding ways to improve on energy efficiency.

Morgantown residents enjoy the local fireworks show Saturday night.

Morgantown celebrates July 4th with a bang by corey mcdonald staff writer @Dailyathenaeum

Residents of Morgantown celebrated their Independence Day to the tunes of some live music and fireworks on Saturday.

Held at Hazel Ruby McQuain Park, two musical performances were given, one at 11 a.m. by the Morgantown Municipal Band, and one at 8 p.m. by the Mon River Big Band.

The Morgantown Municipal Band performed for a sizable crowd in festive spirit, playing orchestral classics such as “America the Beautiful,” “The Stars and Stripes Forever” and “God Bless America” as residents lent an ear and at times a dance to the patriotic tunes.

This is an annual event for Morgantown, and is the 26th year in a row the Morgantown Municipal Band has performed.

Several of them have been high school band directors who have since retired. I’m just blessed to have a lot of excellent musicians.”

The Municipal Band’s longevity has even out lasted Hazel Ruby McQuain Park’s construction.

“In the course of all that time, this facility was not here,” Wilson said. “This used to be nothing but grass.”

Many Morgantown residents flock to this event every year to celebrate their country with their

neighbors while enjoying the food, games and camaraderie the environment provides. The performances set the tone for the entire afternoon, playing familiar patriotic tunes all in attendance could enjoy.

“As an old band kid of Morgantown I love this music,” said Morgantown resident Norton Smith.

“They are very good.”

The Mon River Big Band performed for the audience later at 8:00 p.m.

The Mon River Big Band is North Central West Virginia’s premier big band, performing at various venues such as concerts, weddings, dances and holiday dinners.

The band is directed by Mike Roberts, who plays

make a lot of sense because they’re cost effective; people and businesses will save money,” Hansen said. “And there’s so much potential because so little has been done in Morgantown and West Virginia in general.”

Downstream Strategies has also been involved with City Council.

“City Council and the city staff are supporting the efforts but not through funding or ordinances. I would call it a partnership,” Hansen said.

City Council has been addressing this issue for some time. In 2007 the Mayor of Morgantown signed the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement, pledging the city’s commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2008 they also entered

into an energy savings performance contract with Constellation Energy. The company installed a number of energy efficiency measures into city buildings that guaranteed the city would get certain savings.

The final draft of the Clean Power Plan’s rule is expected to be released toward the end of the summer.

“If the final rule looks like the draft rule, which nobody knows until it comes out, there’s going to be an emission target that’s tailored to each state and you need to reach that final emission target by 2030,” Hansen said.

According to Hansen, problems may arise when the final rule of the plan is released. It is expected to face a fair amount of legal challenges by the State

Legislature.

There was already a significant lawsuit against the rule by the legislature previously, however the court ruled they needed to wait for the final rule to be issued.

“What’s controversial is that the state needs to come up with an implementation plan that is then approved by the federal EPA,” Hansen said. “If they choose not to submit a state implementation plan, which seems to be the indications, then the federal EPA will issue their own implementation plan for West Virginia, which is usually frowned upon because it would be better to have local people making the plan.”

The final rule may not have many flexibilities as to how local governments can

reduce emissions, and may demand that the reductions come directly from the intended source: coal fired power plants.

“The legislature passed a law a few months ago that limits the flexibility and what can be in West Virginia’s state plan, and if you read that law strictly it limits it to inside-the-fence-line solutions, where you can only take action at coal fired power plants themselves and you can’t improve energy efficiency,” Hansen said. “You can’t install renewable energy, you can’t do all the flexibility that the EPA built into the rule.”

Hansen fears that the “inside the fence line” solutions found in the West Virginia law will make it impossible for the state to meet the emission levels

necessary for the EPA. “You simply can’t meet the clean power plan with inside the fence solutions,” Hansen said.

In West Virginia, 95 percent of the electricity generated comes from coal fired power plants, and Hansen believes state leaders seem intent on keeping it that way.

“That’s what it’s all about at the state level, sue the EPA and try and protect the coal industry, but in reality it does a disservice to people who live here,” Hansen said. “Most other states have a much more diversified electricity generation mix which keeps the cost down and you’re not tied to a single commodity like coal.”

South Carolina State Senate OK’s removal of Confederate Flag, House of Delegates vote ahead

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The South Carolina Senate gave its final approval Tuesday to removing the Confederate flag from the Capitol grounds, but across the hall in the House, Republicans quietly sought a way to make a last stand to preserve some kind of symbol honoring their Southern ancestors at the Statehouse.

The House was scheduled to begin debate Wednesday on the bill to take down the flag and its pole and send the banner to the state’s Confederate Relic Room.

Gov. Nikki Haley and business leaders support the proposal.

To stress the chamber’s unity after Tuesday’s 36-3 vote, senators invited the widow of their slain colleague Clementa Pinckney to the floor. She stood just inside the door in a black dress, only a few feet from her husband’s desk, which was draped in black cloth with a single white rose on top. Every member stood as she entered and later walked up to her, offering condolences.After the flag was pulled off the Statehouse dome 15 years ago, it was called a settled issue.

The banner was instead moved to a monument honoring Confederate soldiers elsewhere on the Capitol grounds.

But the flag debate swiftly

gained urgency last month after Pinckney and eight other black people were fatally shot at a historic African-American church in Charleston. A white gunman who police said was motivated by racial hatred is charged in the attack.

Dylann Roof was indicted Tuesday on nine counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder and a weapons charge.

Haley and other conservatives have said they called for the flag to come down in part because of photos showing Roof posing with the Confederate symbol.

If the House goes along with the Senate’s bill, the flag could be removed by the end of the week. But if the House changes the bill, either the Senate would have to agree with the changes or lawmakers would have to reconcile their differences in a conference committee, possibly delaying action for weeks. Several senators said the lopsided vote shows they do not want their bill to change.

Many Republicans in the House insist the flag will come down because of its association with racist groups. But they think lawmakers should at least discuss replacing it with a different flag that flew over Confederate troops.

Rep. Mike Pitts plans to

propose several possible flags for the pole and believes he has a majority to pass them. Completely removing the flagpole, he said, would scrub history, which includes family members from his Laurens County home and from the mountains of North Carolina and Virginia.

“I guess my plan for tomorrow is to be a lot like my ancestors were at the Bloody Angle,” Pitts said, referring to part of a Virginia battlefield where fighting raged for nearly 24 hours in 1864, leaving Confederate dead stacked four deep behind their fortifications.

“And fight until I have nothing left to fight with.”

Pitts’ favorite amendment would place on the pole the flag of the 1st South Carolina Volunteers regiment, which is a blue flag similar to the state flag with its Palmetto tree and crescent moon but with a wreath around the tree. Similar art is etched on a wall inside the Statehouse, Pitts said.

Any change to the Senate bill is unacceptable to the 46 Democrats in the 124-member House — a critical number because some Democrats will have to support any bill to take down the flag to reach the two-thirds threshold required by law, Minority Leader Todd Rutherford said.

All Good brings the music back to West Virginia Ally litten

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Local music festival All Good is finally back home in wild and wonderful West Virginia. After a year’s hiatus, All Good has moved back to Summit Point, W. Va., located in the Eastern Panhandle. Starting July 9, the music won’t stop until July 11.

Primus, moe., Cake, Thievery Corporation, Lotus, SOJA, Railroad Earth, Keller Williams, Yonder Mountain String Band, Dark Star Orchestra, Green Sky Bluegrass and many others will perform Tim Walther, the founder of All Good Music Festival, was actually inspired to start the festival in honor of the Grateful Dead and the peaceful environment that came with their music.

“It truly was a magical time and a time that changed my life and many many others forever,” Walther said on the festival’s website. “I did nothing more rewarding then when the communal energy is spiraling at All Good and the faces in the crowd

Spectators enjoy a variety of artists from the grounds of the scenic Berry Hill Farm. are gleaming of joy and oneness.”

Almost 20 years later, All Good still exerts this energy. Starting in 1997, All Good has been located in Capon Bridge, W. Va., Marvin’s Mountaintop, located in Masontown, W.Va., and Thornville, Ohio. Since it was originally a “West Virginia” festival, many folks were angered when the fes-

tival moved to the Ohio location. It was a longer drive and not as relaxing as the other locations.

“I was in Ohio,” said West Virginia alum Alyssa Graziano. “It was a lot more walking and not near as beautiful! It just did not have the “All Good” feel to it.”

Located now at Berry Hill Farm in Summit Point,

W. Va., it offers a much more serene, and central environment for festival goers. Although it is a short drive for most, it is still a calm environment. Set in rolling green hills, there is not much around Summit Point, W.Va., besides the local racetrack, making it perfect for a festival.

“My favorite location was Marvin’s Mountain-

top, for sure,” Graziano said. “It was in my backyard and there is nothing like a hometown festival!

It’s a West Virginia fest for sure and belongs back in West Virginia!”

Festival goers got their wish. 10,000 people are expected to fill Berry Hill Farm with tents, hammocks and good vibes.

However, beware, police

and K-9 units will be roaming the festival.

Although many of the festival headliners are not from the local area, many of them are returning artists. Lotus, Keller Williams, SOJA, Railroad Earth and many others are taking over the familiar stage once again.

Morgantow n’s ow n Fletcher’s Grove will also perform again at All Good.

“It is overwhelming to be a part of a festival this size in our home state. Many of the bands playing are big influences on us and we wouldn’t be here without the inspiration from them,” said Ryan Krofcheck of Fletcher’s Grove. “Some of our first festivals were the All Good Music Festival on Marvin’s Mountaintop. There it was where we saw this style of music and scene and knew that we could work hard enough to play on the same stages as our influences.”

Retro-inspired fashion proves to be timeless for this trendy summer style Caitlin Worrell A&E Editor @dailyathenaeum

It’s beginning to heat up outside and in your closet.

This summer’s fashion is keeping it retro with tons of 70s inspired flair. Whether you’re headed to a festival, the beach or just out with friends, make sure your outfit is on point by keeping the season’s trends in mind. Here are a few summer-worthy styles worth flaunting.

Matching Sets Coordinated top and bottom sets are an easy way to pull off a fresh summer look. This combo consists of pairing a crop top with either a matching shirt or short bottom. With such broad criteria, sets have the potential to embrace any decade or theme look you desire. While it used to be boring to have little contrast between pieces, matching sets give you a

clean, polished aesthetic with plenty of room for accessorizing. Be bold by experimenting with bright colors, new textures or an intricate pattern for your fashion duo.

Platform Wedges Wedges never go out of style, but this year we are raising the bar a bit – literally. Full platform shoes are popping up in our favorite stores and are certainly higher than ever.

This look is incredibly versatile with everything from platform ked-style sneakers to platform sandals and booties. The best part about this growing trend is that it’s comfortable! With lift in the front and back, your feet will be able to rock this look all day and night.

Neutrals This season blending in beats standing out. Neutral colors are all the rage on the runway and for a good reason. Blacks and whites

are classic, timeless colors that can be paired with nearly anything. While earthy tones such as beige, olive green and maroon give just enough pop for your simplistic ensemble.

Neutrals are the perfect choice no matter how you choose to style your look.

Whether you’re a minimalist or going boho chic, these subtle tones will give you trendy flair.

High-Waisted Bikinis Though this isn’t the first time we have seen highwaisted ensembles make a comeback, it’s certainly the first time it’s made its way into resort wear. With tons of fun, retro-inspired options, high-waisted bikinis highlight the smallest part of your waist for a cinched illusion. This is a more conservative beach option, but mix and match tops are the perfect way to still show off some skin. Regardless of your physique, high-waisted bikinis are

50 years marks the “Dead End” for a massive musical phenomenon Chelsea Walker A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

The “golden road to unlimited devotion” has officially greeted its “dead” end. The last two weekends have marked the end of an era for one of America’s most notorious and pioneering bands.

The Grateful Dead’s “Fare Thee Well” tour featured five shows celebrating and commemorating the history of California’s most cultivating and musically majestic bands.

Taking the stage in Santa Clara, Ca., on June 27th, core four members of the Dead, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann joined forces with Phish frontman Trey Anastasio, Ratdog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti and keyboardist Bruce Hornsby of Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers, to create a two-night spectacle for music lovers and devoted Deadheads. The final California shows allowed the group to reestablish its groove before heading into their three-night main stage reappearance in Chicago.

With all Fare Thee Well members on stage, the group began tense as they faced the thousands of fans that filled the Levi’s Stadium. Opening with a classic, “Truckin,” fans were reminded, 50 years later, of what a long strange trip it has been. Weir and Anastasio seemed to have a student teacher rapport, with Weir sharing glances and egging the experienced Phish “phanatic” into his element.

the crowd goodnight with a touching “Ripple.”

Night two of the Fare Thee Well run groomed the crowd for a night full of jiving with an intense “Shakedown Street” belted

by Weir. The Nation’s holiday was granted justice, with a follow up tune of “Liberty,” with Weir clinging to the mic vocally.

Set two started out with heartfelt “Bird Song” ballads by Lesh, while the group ended with an appropriate “One More Saturday Night,” with Weir and Anastasio feeding off their personal energy fueled by the lively crowd.

In an Independence Day hoorah, the core four encored with a “U.S. Blues,” where a live feed was broadcast from The Em-

pire State Building in New York City. The building was cloaked in a unique red, white and blue LED light show, colors that signify our country and the Dead’s classic “Steal Your Face” emblem.

The final night of the Fare Thee Well run was greeted with sincere smiles strapped across the faces of the some 71,000 attendees. The enormous sold-out audience that filled Solider Field was record breaking, blowing the former record of most people at the Chicago Stadium that was previously held by U2. Opening with “China Cat” into “I Know You Rider,” deadheads shouted the lyrics, “gonna miss me when I’m gone,” in unison, with fists raised

above their heads. Set two revisited “Truckin,” and ended with a rupturing “Not Fade Away,” where fans once again chimed in, shouting along, “our love is real and not fade away, not fade away!”

The sea of tie-dye, flowing skirts, ponytails and rugged beards relished in the last few moments, singing and shouting as the band retreated off stage and greeting, for one final time, Lesh’s “donor rap,” where the bassist gave thanks to a young man named Cody who, in 1998, provided him with a life-saving liver transplant.

Reuniting for their final moments and donning a “Let Trey Sing” t-shirt, Weir and the gang that forever impacted the world of music returned on stage, giving fans a double encore consisting of “Touch of Grey” and “Attics of My Life.”

As the band embraced for one final bow before the sold out Soldier Field crowd, drummer Hart spoke in closing, “The feeling we have here – remember it, take it home and do some good with it.”

“I’ll leave you with this: Please, be kind.”

The three nights in Chicago proved what Dead fans already predicted, and what the group initially set out to do: to leave their legacy on the industry they began impacting 50 years ago. Each show, just as the encrypted songs that filled the air, left behind a slew of poignant emotions of highs and lows. After their five night musical marathon, all we can do is thank the Grateful Dead, “for a real good time.” daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Editorial

Marriage equality is not the end As most of our readers have probably heard by now, on June 26, 2015, everyone hoping for marriage equality across the United States got their wish. After years of slow state-by-state change, the Supreme Court made the decision to finally legalize same-sex marriage from coast to coast. With a single five to four ruling, the LGBT community and their allies’ hard work was rewarded.

Of course supporters of marriage equality should take some time to celebrate this latest victory, but do not forget that the

fight for equality does not end with the right to marry.

Passing this historic milestone should instead give supporters extra momentum for the struggles still to come. With new hope, we should continue to address America’s still-existing issues.

Now that same-sex couples all across America are free to marry, it’s time to take a look at the laws standing in the way of fairness and equality. For example, in 29 states, it is still very much legal for an employer to discriminate against an individual be-

cause of their sexual orientation and in 32 states, it is legal for employers to discriminate against someone based on their gender identity. In this year alone, 28 different state legislatures have attempted to make discrimination the law by submitting more than 85 bills that would allow people as well as businesses to cite “religious freedom” when discriminating against members of the LGBT community.

There are also a number of LGBT issues that must be addressed by instituting social change in America. It

has been made clear that we need to make this country a safer and more welcoming place for the people struggling with their sexual orientation or gender identity.

For example, even with acceptance on the rise, young LGBT individuals are four times more likely to attempt suicide than nonLGBT youth. Suicide is a long-standing issue in the transgender community, with almost half of transgender individuals contemplating suicide at some point in their lives. Furthermore, about one quarter of

transgender people have attempted suicide.

LGBT individuals are also at a pronounced risk for homicide based on their LGBT status, with an increased risk added for people of color.

Between 2013 and 2014, 50 percent of LGBT homicide victims were people of color. Transgender women also accounted for 55 percent of victims, making transgender women of color a demographic that is extremely at risk of being targeted in a violent attack. In addition to homicide, LGBT individuals can

be up to roughly twice as much at risk of being sexually assaulted than nonLGBT people.

While having so much to accomplish can seem daunting, it is important to not become discouraged. If anything, we should have the momentum we need to tackle the next challenge.

The recent victory for marriage equality should give supporters of the LGBT community the motivation to go forth and make the world a brighter and happier place for everyone. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

America is a country that prides itself as being the “land of the free” but many people would argue this isn’t the case. To be considered “free,” all citizens must be equally represented under the law and have access to the same rights and liberties. In 1868, the 14th Amendment was added to the Constitution in an effort to ensure these very princi-

ples to every citizen of the United States. However, nearly 150 years later, the fight for equal opportunity and representation is still an ongoing battle.

The 14th Amendment begins with the words “All persons born or naturalized in the United States…”

Not once does it discriminate against sex, age, religion, race, or sexual orientation as it describes “these persons” as citizens of the United States having equal protection under the law. It affirms no state may

pass laws limiting the privileges or protections given to United States citizens, nor may the states deny any citizen their right to life, liberty or property without due process of the law.

Since the 19th century, many progressive movements have helped all citizens move toward equality.

The 19th Amendment gave women the right to vote in the early 20th century, and the Civil Rights Movement followed shortly after to end segregation and give legal protection and federal rec-

ognition to African American citizens across the country. A number of bills were passed in the middle of the 20th century to make education more accessible nationwide. But despite these advancements, there are still gaps between the wages and promotional opportunities of men and women in the workplace, racial and socioeconomic disparities in the school system and in representing and supporting minority groups.

If America is going to claim itself as being “the land of

the free,” these discrepancies must end.

Nationwide, there are activists trying to end discrimination against minorities so America may truly be a country free for all its citizens—but even when one battle is won, the fight still continues. One example is the recent success in the Supreme Court in regards to marriage equality.

It was a huge victory for the LGBTQA community, but marriage equality is only the first step in assuring equal access to all the rights and

privileges already available to heterosexual married citizens. This is why we as Americans must not stop now even after this achievement. Until every person is free from discrimination preventing equal opportunity, there is inequality in our country leaving us divided.

Equality is not just the right to vote, the right to work or the right to marry.

It is a culmination of being entitled to all those things. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

A guide on how to prepare for your first tattoo Tattoos have become more and more popular in the younger generation.

From Adam Levine to Rihanna, even our favorite celebrities are #TeamTatted. Getting your first tattoo should be a positive experience, although it may be a bit frightening because you really don’t know what to expect.

What tattoo do I want?

Where do I get it? Is it going to hurt? All the questions can make a person confused and doubtful. Here are a few tips to take note of before getting your first tattoo.

Issues you should think about BEFORE deciding to get a tattoo: Permanency: Obviously tattoos are permanent, but you also have to think about how it will affect your life.

If you do not have a career yet you may want to think

DA

about certain workplaces that do not accept visible tattoos.

Expense: Tattoos are very expensive and not just large ones. Depending where you go the minimum charge is around $70, and that is not including the tip! (Yes, you should always tip the tattoo artist.)

1. Take your time!

Once you are sure you want to commit to a tattoo, or have always wanted one and are finally ready to take the plunge you should spend a lot of time picking out your tattoo design.

Make sure you pick something that you are truly passionate about and that is timeless. You don’t want to be stuck with an irrelevant tattoo in the future.

Even if you already have your design picked out, you have to pick the size, colors and font (if any). Size is also

a very important aspect. If you want a small tattoo, keep in mind the tattoo artist will want to make it bigger especially if it has detail.

It is easier for them to draw larger, and if it is detailed it may run together over time.

You also should have the colors you want in your tattoo picked out and your tattoo artist will do their best to match your colors. If your tattoo is a quote or has letters in it, you should pick out the font as well. You can do this online at home, or look through the tattoo parlor books.

2. Where should it go?

Next, you need to figure out the placement of your tattoo on your body. You also have to think about the pain you will endure depending on where exactly you want it. This pain chart will help a lot, especially if you have a low tolerance for

pain.

A great way to make sure you are picking the right spot for your tattoo, is to draw it on yourself using a Sharpie fine pen or get a temporary tattoo drawn on you. This way if you are getting it in a visible spot you can have it on for a couple days to be positive that is the perfect location.

3. Pick a trusty parlor.

Then, you have to find the tattoo parlor to get your tattoo. I would highly suggest going to a place that a family member or friend has been to, so you know you can trust it. Once you find the right parlor you should meet with your artist and go over what you want to get.

Before going to meet your tattoo artist you should bring your design with you.

It is best to have it printed out, or if it is unique bring your own rough sketch of it.

You should also make an appointment for your tattoo session; however, you may have to put a deposit down to do so. Keep in mind when making your appointment that you will not be able to get in a pool or lake for at least two weeks after getting your tattoo, so make sure you’re not getting it around any vacation plans or any other water activities.

4. Bring a buddy.

Lastly, you should choose a family member or friend to come with you to share your experience and to help calm your nerves. It is sometimes more beneficial to have someone that has already gotten a tattoo because they have been through it and can walk you through the whole process.

You will probably feel rushed by the artist if you are not fully prepared with what you want. It is best to

be convenient and prepared before your appointment, as you do not want to make any rash decisions that are permanent.

It is not a good idea to drink alcohol before getting a tattoo; you could be making a huge mistake you’re not even aware of. Also, many artists will not proceed with the tattoo since alcohol thins your blood and could create a problem in the process.

When leaving from the parlor, your tattoo artist should give you information about tattoo care. Make sure you have anti-bacterial soap (you would be surprised how many soaps aren’t) at home and buy tattoo ointment beforehand.Be sure to follow ALL of the instructions for taking care of your new tattoo to avoid infections or any problems.

Album Corner: Hip-hop artists look for redemption Woody Pond

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

“Dreams Worth More Than Money” by Meek Mill Meek Mill was supposed to release “Dreams Worth More Than Money” around a year ago, but after violating his probation, was forced to return to prison.

Now he is back, dating superstar Nicki Minaj, and has released his longawaited sophomore effort.

On June 29, Meek Mill’s 14-track album was released on iTunes containing features from Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, The Weeknd, Rick Ross, Drake and more.

“DWMTM” shows that Meek has grown into a more dense and effective rapper, while sticking to his quick, witty style, packing as many lyrics into three minutes as possible. Drugs, guns, women, fashion—all of these common topics are present on this record, but Meek has also pushed himself more towards rapping about his life struggles, love stories and the future that he wants for him and his city Philadelphia.

Instrumentally, the album is mostly made up of

distorted samples or short, catchy leads repeated over a booming 808 bass with a mix of rapid hi-hats and snare drums. “Lord Knows” is a stand out opening track, sampling a Mozart movement to make for a very epic hip-hop beat. The collaboration with Drake, “R.I.C.O,” is the highlight of the record with two great verses from both of these talented rappers over a very unique and hard hitting beat from Vinylz.

Rappers usually show their true colors and potential with their second album. Meek Mill was successful in this, and has reminded listeners to not count him out of the race yet.

“Free Weezy Album” by Lil Wayne Lil Wayne has released a lot of music this year, but it seems it has been difficult for him to release any valuable work of his own until Independence Day. It was fitting that he released his new album independent of his label Cash Money on July 4, and also because the album is entitled the “Free Weezy Album.”

Released exclusively on the music streaming service Tidal, this album is a breath of fresh air for Wayne fans who have en-

dured less popular works like “I Am Not A Human Being 2” and “Sorry 4 The Wait 2” in recent past.

Wayne touches on some of his older styles and also experiments with some surprisingly attractive new ones, as he raps in a much more cohesive and sober manner than we have become accustomed to. Sampling on this album is both shocking and also enticing, as listeners are brought in by a memorable James Brown sample on “I Feel Good” as well as a great chorus and Kane Beatz instrumental on “He’s Dead.”

With fifteen tracks, this album contains some of Wayne’s best beats ever, and in some cases some of his best lyricism to date. He gets introspective on songs like “My Heart Races” and “London Roads,” which is something we haven’t seen from Wayne in years and was one of his better abilities as a rapper. If you were a Lil Wayne fan but fell off the bandwagon because of his newer changes in style, give “FWA” a listen and decide if you’re ready to recommit yourself to the Martian.

“Work It Out” by Lucy Rose Lucy Rose is another up and coming English singer/

songwriter with a beautiful voice and fervor for success. She is a unique blend of folk rock and progressive indie, with a mix of backing synth broadening the sound of live instruments.

Rose sounds a lot like a young Adele on her album “19,” and crafts music similar to Bon Iver. Both are very talented and popular bet.com musicians, so Rose has a Meek Mill makes a much-awaited comeback following prison stint. future ahead of her if she can slide in o the right markets. “Work It Out” is her second album, her first having been released three years ago, and may be the push she is going for.

The album is a mix of upbeat songs with a lot going on, many different sounds meshing together for epic choruses, and also calmer, slower campfire rollingstone.com songs. “Nebraska” is a stellar track. It gave me chills Lil Wayne returns to his raspy roots on his independently released album. on the first listen, and is a darker song from the album. Rose’s songbird voice is her greatest strength— she has a very large range that includes breathing out soft falsetto notes and also belting out notes at the top and bottom of her register.

“Work It Out” is simple and beautiful, and is a wonderful soundtrack to an early morning. mercedes-benz.com Lucy Rose hopes her lyrical skills sets her talent apart from the mainstream. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Brooke Hogan anticipates comeback Miss USA speaks out against Trump Woody Pond

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Taking her talents from the TV screen to the main stage, Brooke Hogan is set to wow fans this Friday at Schmitt’s Saloon.

With an unconventional start in music, Hogan has certainly evolved over the years. In 2005, Brooke Hogan began her recording career for the world to see on the reality television series “Hogan Knows Best.” Chasing the sound of pop singers and R&B artists like Britney Spears and Destiny’s Child, Hogan made her debut with the 2006 album “Undiscovered.” The album reached number 28 on the Billboard 200 following the buzz garnered by the lead single “About Us” featuring Paul Wall.

And obviously, the publicity around her family and their show didn’t hurt.

Her second album did not do quite as well, and Hogan subsequently fell off the map. She began to pursue a small acting career, appearing in a couple of low-budget independent films. At this point, it seemed like that would be the last of Hogan’s career in the limelight—until this year.

Now 27, Hogan just recently played a role in the 2015 horror-parody film, “L.A. Slasher,” and is also working on a forthcoming EP that consists of country songs. This new kickstart to her music career has put her in a position to start performing

hollybollyhub.com

Brooke Hogan makes the transition from hip-hop to country music. again, though she is relatively unknown to current youth. Schmitt’s Saloon in Morgantown decided to take advantage of this and bring Brooke Hogan to their venue.

Hogan stated in an interview that she had always wanted to do country music, the music she originally started playing when she was a young teenager, but her former record label had advised against that route. Her new music draws its main influences from the country music she loves and from beach rock, which is the style of music from where she grew up. Hogan’s hope to launch her career again weighed heavily on her recent performance at the CMA Fest, which was her first showing in the country music world since her transition.

She has a long way to go, but she seems committed to her future and her new album. Schmitt’s is excited to help her take that next step into relaunching her fame.

Schmitt’s Saloon was

started by former Mountaineer and pro running back Owen Schmitt along with the Davisson Brothers Band—a country/bluegrass band that tours the Eastern United States and occasionally allows Schmitt to join them onstage to play guitar. Schmitt connected with the brothers after he retired from the NFL in 2012 and returned to Morgantown. Since then, the saloon has been a popular bar and country music venue in Morgantown. The performers they bring in range from local acts to bigger names like Brian Davis. Being a saloon, Schmitt’s serves alcohol and food as well, so it is always bustling with people aside from the music crowd.

On July 10 you can catch Brooke Hogan live in concert with opening act Brynn Marie. Tickets are on sale now at only $15 dollars. For more information visit http:// schmittssaloon.com. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) – Controversy continues to surround presidential candidate Donald Trump’s comments painting Mexican immigrants as criminals, but the women taking part in the upcoming Miss USA pageant Trump co-owns say the show must go on.

Several Hispanic candidates and one immigrant from Albania taking part in the contest sat down with The Associated Press to discuss the pageant and Trump’s comments.

They said everyone has a right to their opinions but distanced themselves from his comments on immigrants, said they’re proud of their roots and hoped the upcoming pageant would shed light on the contributions of immigrants.

“It was hard to hear,” said Natasha Martinez, whose mother emigrated to the United States as a young girl from Nicaragua.

“I think it’s important to understand that immigrants come here looking for a better life, and they do make these hard sacrifices like leaving their kids and their countries for long periods of time in hopes that they will be reunited and that they will be able to have a better life here in America,” said Martinez who represents California.

Trump, a real estate developer, television personality and now-presidential candidate, co-owns Miss Universe which produces the Miss USA pageant. The Miss USA pageant is scheduled to take place on July 12 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Trump slammed Mexi-

can immigrants while announcing his presidential candidacy in June, blaming them for bringing drugs and crime to the U.S. and saying some are rapists.

The fallout was extensive.

Macy’s dropped his line of business suits. The Spanish-language broadcaster Univision cut ties with Trump. NBC dropped its pageant telecast. Trump has also been a fixture on NBC as host of “The Apprentice” and its celebrity offshoot, but an agreement that he would no longer be on the show predated the current controversy.

Many celebrities tapped as judges, performers or hosts pulled out of the pageant.

But the pageant will be broadcast. The cable and satellite channel Reelz, which reaches 70 million homes, said last Thursday that they had acquired the rights to show the pageant because of a belief that the pageant and the women who compete in it “are an integral part of American tradition.”

Miss Mexico pageant director Lupita Jones said Mexico would boycott Miss Universe. She said Trump damaged the pageant and its tradition of convening countries for an event that showcases “friendship, unity and breaking down cultural barriers.”

But the women who spoke to the AP said they were determined to remain in the pageant and compete despite their personal feelings about Trump’s comments.

The women arrived in Baton Rouge last week where

they have been rehearsing for the Sunday presentation and taking part in a number of pageant related activities.

Anea Garcia, who represents Rhode Island, has a grandmother from the Dominican Republic.

“It’s not fair, and it’s not OK to generalize one group of people,” she said.

Miss Texas Ylianna Guerra said she was determined to stay in the pageant for herself and her supporters back in Texas. She said she worked hard to get to this point and she “wasn’t going to let anybody down.”

Polikseni Manxhari emigrated to the U.S. at the young age of 5 from Albania and is now representing Massachusetts.

She said she’s already brushed aside Trump’s comments and is determined to stay focused on her mission - to live out her pageant dream and “inspire all immigrants to know that they can come here and make something of themselves and live the American dream.”

The women also came out in support of fellow beauty pageant winner, Paulina Vega of Colombia who is the reigning Miss Universe. Vega has condemned Trump’s comments but says she won’t give up her crown, sparking Trump to call her a hypocrite.

“She’s worked extremely hard to get to the position where she is right now, and I think she’s been a great Miss Universe. She’s entitled to her own opinion, just as he’s entitled to his own opinion,” said Guerra.

Bill Cosby is under fire after quaalude admission in previous testimony NEW YORK (AP) – For decades, Bill Cosby cast himself as America’s dad and then as America’s granddad, a moralist with tough talk for young people about acting responsibly. It was that image that proved to be his undoing.

The judge who unsealed documents on Monday revealing Cosby’s 2005 admission that he obtained quaaludes to give to young women before sex cited the comedian’s public moralizing in deciding to release the testimony.

The testimony, from a decade-old lawsuit, has called into question Cosby’s denials that he drugged and sexually assaulted women.

Cosby had fought the request from The Associated Press to unseal the material.

But U.S. District Judge Eduardo Robreno in Philadelphia ruled: “The stark contrast between Bill Cosby, the public moralist, and Bill Cosby, the subject of serious allegations concerning improper (and perhaps criminal) conduct, is a matter to which the AP - and by extension the public - has a significant interest.”

Cosby’s moralizing also triggered the most recent round of allegations by more than two dozen women who say he assaulted them. Last October, 31-year-old comedian Hannibal Buress set off the storm when he noted the contrast between Cosby’s image and the accusations.

“He gets on TV, `Pull your pants up, black people. I was on TV in the ‘80s! I can talk down to you because I had a successful sitcom!’” Buress said. “Yeah, but you rape women, Bill Cosby, so turn the crazy down a couple notches.”

As leader of television’s Huxtable clan in the 1980s, Cosby was the dad who did things right. It was a persona that made him beloved and rich.

And Cosby gave back. He and wife Camille offered millions in donations to colleges and other institutions across the country, including $20 million to Spelman College in 1988. He also freely gave advice and opinions on society’s failings, which weren’t welcomed as much as the money.

One such commentary, a decade ago during a commemoration of the 50th an-

niversary of the Supreme Court decision on segregated schools, was cited by Robreno in his ruling. Cosby criticized a lack of parenting among poor families, complaining about young people’s poor speech, dress and dropout rates.

It was labeled the “pound cake” speech for this passage: “Looking at the incarcerated, these are not political criminals,” Cosby said. “These are people going around stealing CocaCola. People getting shot in the back of the head over a piece of pound cake! Then we all run out and are outraged: `The cops shouldn’t have shot him.’ What the hell was he doing with the pound cake in his hand?”

Cosby has aggressively sought to protect his public image as accusations came forth. His representatives have cast doubt on his accusers, and Cosby sought to get an AP reporter who had asked about them not to use his comments.

He also testified in the 2005 case that he granted the National Enquirer an interview about accusations against him in exchange for the tabloid squelching an-

other story about an alleged assault.

Even before Monday’s release of testimony, the allegations had severely damaged Cosby’s career. NBC walked away from plans to make another Cosby sitcom, TV Land took reruns of “The Cosby Show” off the air, and Netflix shelved plans for a Cosby standup special.

Cosby mounted a standup comedy tour that was dotted with cancellations, and no further appearances are scheduled, according to the industry trade publication Pollstar.

The Bounce TV network, which is geared toward black viewers, announced Tuesday that it is taking its reruns of “Cosby,” the comic’s 1990sera CBS show, off the air immediately.

And the smaller Centric cable network, which is affiliated with BET and aimed at black women, said it is dropping “The Cosby Show.” The 1980s NBC series was a big chunk of Centric’s schedule, airing four hours a day and in weekend marathons once a month.

It doesn’t appear that “The Cosby Show” is airing regularly anywhere else now in

Bill Cosby under more fire after documents resurface. the U.S., said Bill Carroll, an expert on the syndication market for Katz Television.

He said he doubts it will return while its star, who turns 78 on Sunday, is alive.

“You never say never,” he said. “But I think in the foreseeable future, I doubt we’re going to see `The Cosby Show’ returning.”

It remains to be seen how

many minds the newly released testimony will change.

But actress and Philadelphia native Jill Scott, who had publicly supported Cosby last fall, said she was “completely disgusted” by what he had to say under oath.

“I stood by a man I respected and loved,” Scott said via Twitter. “I was wrong.”

West Virginia defender Kadeisha Buchanan fights for the ball in a 2013 game against Central Michigan.

West Virginia defender Kadeisha Buchanan wins Women’s World Cup Young Player Award by ashley conley sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University women’s soccer defender Kadeisha Buchanan is the 2015 recipient of one of FIFA World Cup’s most notable honors, the Hyundai Young Player Award. Buchanan spent her time at the 2015 World Cup wearing the Canadian red for the Canada Women’s National Team, which lost in the quarter-finals.

According to FIFA.com, only 54 players were eligible for the award. To be eligible, players must meet certain regulations, most importantly, having a date-of-birth no later than

January 1 of 1995. Practical soccer skills were also taken into consideration, as stated on FIFA.com, including the player’s “youthful and refreshing style of play, creativity and spontaneity, tactical maturity and effectiveness.”

Buchanan is only the second player to be given the award, following Australian Caitlin Foord, who received the honor at 2011’s World Cup in Germany.

During the 2015 World Cup, Buchanan excelled in the back field for Canada, displaying fascinating tackling skills and an abundance of other traits including her incredible speed, ability to pass the

ball, and her success at putting pressure on Canada’s opponents. They included China PR, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and a fierce England team which ultimately ended the Canadians’ run in the quarter-finals.

Buchanan found herself on the starting lineup in all five of Canada’s matches where she played a total of 450 minutes and committed only seven fouls, drew one yellow card and zero red cards.

Canada head coach John Herdman credits Buchanan with being a huge part of the team chemistry that allowed Canada to make it all the way to the quarter-finals.

“I think some people wondered if, as a young player, she could perform consistently at the highest level, and she definitely showed that she could,” Herdman said. “She’s been a rock at the back for our team,” he told FIFA.com.

“We came so close to a place in the semi-finals, but our main goal was to make people proud of us and inspire a nation,” Buchanan told FIFA.com.

“We achieved that goal, at least.”

“Just want to say thank you to FIFA, CSA, to all the die hard fans and most of all my teammates. I’m truly honored to win this award,” Buchanan posted to Twitter just hours after

receiving her trophy for the award, which she was presented on the celebration stage after the World Cup concluded in front of over 54,000 fans in Vancouver.

The U.S. Women’s National Team ultimately won their third World Cup title, beating Japan 5-2, who formally beat the U.S. in 2011’s World Cup championship game. Midfielder Carli Lloyd scored three goals for the U.S. in the first 16 minutes of the game, earning a hat trick and becoming the first to do so in Women’s World Cup Final history.

“It’s been amazing. We just wrote history and brought this World Cup trophy home,” Lloyd said

in an interview with the Washington Post after the U.S.’s unforgettable win.

The U.S. also won World Cup titles in 1991 and 1999.

The 2015 Final was one of the most-watched games in women’s soccer history and flooded social media networks in the United States.

Buchanan is a rising junior at West Virginia University. She and teammate Ashley Lawrence, who also played for Canada, are expected to bring their World Cup experience back to Morgantown with them to assist the Mountaineers in their search for another Big 12 Championship. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Joseph named to Bednarik Award Watch List by david statman sports editor @Djstatman77

Ahead of his highly anticipated senior season, West Virginia Mountaineers’ safety Karl Joseph was named to the Bednarik Award Watch List, as announced by the Maxwell Football Club on Tuesday.

The hard-hitting linchpin of the Mountaineer secondary, Joseph heads a defensive backfield that could rank as one of the Big 12’s best, after turning in an acclaimed junior season that saw him earn All-Big 12 First Team honors.

“I consider Karl a throwback to the days of hard-nosed football where fundamentals were at the forefront and every player wanted to learn and get them right,” said Mountaineer defensive coordinator Tony Gibson in an interview with WVUSports.com. “He comes to practice every day with the goal to improve.

He wants to win football games and prepares

for hours each week no matter the opponent and is never afraid to ask what he did wrong or how he can improve to be a better player, leader and teammate.”

In 2014, Joseph finished second on the team with 92 total tackles, forcing a team-high three fumbles and recording one interception as West Virginia finished with a 7-6 record.

Joseph has consistently been one of West Virginia’s most productive defensive players since coming to Morgantown from Edgewater High School in Orlando, Florida. He led the team in tackles his freshman year, and finished fourth in that category as a sophomore.

“This is a good honor for Karl as he prepares for his senior season,” Gibson said. “His work ethic has paid off. He is always around the ball and each of the past three years, he has been among our leaders in tackles, big plays and consistency. I love his competitive spirit, but I also admire his work ethic as a student and being a

good teammate.”

Joseph is one of 11 Big 12 players named to the Bednarik Award Watch List, out of 80 players total in Division I. Four, including Joseph, are defensive backs: Joseph is joined by Kansas State safety Dante Barnett, TCU safety Derrick Kindred and Oklahoma cornerback Zack Sanchez.

The rest of the group contains last year’s winner, Arizona linebacker Scooby Wright, and six of last year’s semifinalists.

Since the award was first handed out in 1995, it’s gone to a Big 12 player three times: Texas A&M’s Dat Nguyen in 1998, Oklahoma’s Teddy Lehman in 2003, and Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh in 2009.

The Bednarik Award Watch List was announced side-by-side with the Maxwell Award Watch List, its offensive counterpart. Although nine Big 12 players were selected to the Maxwell Award Watch List, including Oklahoma State and TCU quarterbacks Mason Rudolph and Trevone Boykin, no Mountain-

West Virginia safety Karl Joseph makes a tackle in last year’s game against Texas. eers made the latter list.

The list will be pared down to a group of 20 semifinalists in early November, and the three finalists will be announced on November 23. The win-

ner of the Bednarik Award will be announced as part of the College Football Awards show on December 10.

Culture change taking hold at Texas under Strong by connor murray sports writer @dailyathanauem

When Charlie Strong took over as the head coach at Texas before the 2014 season, he took over a program that had lost its way.

Things had gotten stale in the latter years of previous coach Mack Brown’s tenure. After an unforgettable national championship victory over USC in the Rose Bowl in 2005, Texas was at the mountaintop of college football. Brown might have collected another ring were it not for starting quarterback Colt McCoy getting

hurt early in the championship game, again at the Rose Bowl, against Alabama in 2009.

Since then, however, the Longhorns have slipped into mediocrity, and after bringing the shine back to the Texas football program, Mack Brown and the university parted ways.

With a new Athletic Director in Steve Patterson leading the way, the Longhorns’ brain trust set out to find a replacement that could change the culture of their program, and after several names surfaced during their search, they settled on a rising star in

the coaching profession, former Louisville man Charlie Strong.

From day one, Strong projected a no-nonsense approach. If you weren’t interested in buckling down and giving everything you had for your team, there was no room for you in Austin.

While his Horns got off to a rocky 3-5 start with a depleted roster in 2014, Strong rallied the troops to three-straight wins in November that guaranteed a bowl berth and took some hands off the panic button on The 40 Acres.

The highs of that three-

week run, which included players lifting coach Strong above their heads in the locker room in celebration of a 33-16 thumping of West Virginia, quickly turned to lows as the Longhorns were blown out 48-10 by TCU on their home turf in the season finale and embarrassed once again in a 31-7 loss to Arkansas in the Texas Bowl.

Despite giving up 79 points in their final two games, the Longhorns still finished No. 2 in the conference in total defense, and allowed just under 24 points a game on the season.

Texas’ offense struggled

to find any kind of rhythm under the leadership of sophomore quarterback Tyrone Swoopes, but a prolific pass rush that tallied a Big 12-best 40 sacks kept the Longhorns competitive in Year One under Strong.

As the season progressed, it was evident the Longhorns were taking on the identity of their new coach.

A grind-it-out style on offense and a hard-nosed defense made Texas a nightmare matchup for many teams in 2014, and the scary thing is, that defense is only getting better.

Strong hit the recruit-

ing trail hard and reeled in the No. 9 class in the nation according to 247 Sports, which included five-star linebacker Malik Jefferson and six four-star commitments on defense.

Although the Longhorns may still be in a transitional phase on offense with a quarterback competition on tap for the fall between Swoopes and redshirt freshman Jerrod Heard, it looks like an already stout defense will get even better and be able to carry this team to new heights in 2015. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Golf announces schedule for inaugural season by dj deskins

sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University men’s golf program announced its 2015-16 season schedule last week for its inaugural season in the Big 12.

The team will take the course as a Division 1 program for the first time in over 30 years and boasts a schedule featuring 13 tournaments against some of the nation’s top golf programs at historic courses.

WVU Athletic Director Shane Lyons announced the schedule on July 1, highlighted by the first Moun-

taineer Intercollegiate at Pete Dye Golf Club.

“I am thrilled with our tournament schedule for our first official season,” said head coach Sean Covich in an interview with WVUSports.com. “We will play against great competition all year on some of the best courses in the nation.”

The Mountaineers will start the season at the twoday Tiger Turning Stone Invitational at Turning Stone Resort in Verona, N.Y. on September 6.

WVU will travel south to Huntington, W. Va., to participate in the Joe Feaganes Marshall Invitational,

hosted by in-state rival Marshall University. The event will take place at Guyan Gold and Country Club on September 14 and 15.

West Virginia will finish their first month of competition in Alabama at an event hosted by the UAB Blazers who are led by PGA Tour professional Graeme McDowell. The event features golfers from Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU, UCF and Covich’s former program and alma mater, Mississippi State.

After traveling to North Carolina on October 5 and 6, WVU will return home to host the Mountaineer Intercollegiate on Octo-

ber 19 and 20. Covich and the Mountaineers will welcome 13 other teams, including Miami (Ohio) and Penn State.

“Hosting our inaugural Mountaineer Intercollegiate at Pete Dye Golf Club is exciting. We wanted to challenge our guys with our tournament schedule and I think we have achieved that goal. This will only make us better in the long run,” Covich said.

WVU will finish the fall season during the last week of October when they travel to Vero Beach, Fla., for the Quail Valley Intercollegiate.

Covich and his team are fa-

miliar with the Quail Valley Golf and River Club, having played there during the team’s 2015 spring break trip.

When the team returns in the spring, they’ll travel to Houston to compete in the President’s Day Challenge on February 15.

Along with Houston, WVU will travel to tournaments hosted by Florida State, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Ohio State and Penn State.

The Mountaineers will participate in their first Big 12 Championship on April 29. The event will be held at Whispering Pines Golf Club

in Texas.

WVU will join one of the nation’s top golf conferences in the Big 12, who saw five programs compete in NCAA Regional competition.

Covich’s team will have the opportunity to compete in NCAA Regionals after the Big 12 Championship. Individual members of the team will have the opportunity to be selected for the NCAA Regional competition. The NCAA National Championship happens May 29 through June 3 in Eugene, Oregon. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Williams fights past Azarenka at Wimbledon LONDON (AP) -- Even as Serena Williams piled up aces and groundstroke winners from all angles, even as she stormed through seven games in a row and 10 of the last 13 in yet another comeback, her Wimbledon quarterfinal against Victoria Azarenka never felt like a runaway.

That’s because Azarenka, a two-time major champion and former No. 1 in her own right, was playing spectacular tennis, too, nearly the equal of Williams in every facet.

Nearly.

For when Williams finds her best game, she becomes unbeatable. And for her past 26 Grand Slam matches she is, indeed, unbeaten. Erasing an early deficit at Centre Court, Williams got past Azarenka 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 Tuesday with the help of 17 aces and a remarkable ratio of 46 winners to 12 unforced errors.

“It’s been up and down, up and down, but somehow I’m still alive. I don’t know how,” said Williams, who twice was two points from losing to Britain’s Heather Watson in the third round and is now 14-0 in threesetters and 37-1 overall in 2015. “So we’ll see what happens, but I’m just happy to still be here.”

She is closing in on a fourth consecutive major title for a self-styled Serena Slam, which she already accomplished in 2002-03.

Pull that off, and Williams also will have the third leg of a calendar-year Grand Slam and go to the U.S. Open with a chance to become the first player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win all four major trophies in one season.

“I haven’t seen her play like this, honestly,” said Azarenka, who has lost 17 of 20 matches against Williams and all 10 meetings

at majors, including after leading by a set and a break at the French Open in May. In Thursday’s semifinals, No. 1 Williams faces No. 4 Maria Sharapova, who beat unseeded American CoCo Vandeweghe 6-3, 6-7 (3), 6-2.

Williams is 17-2 against Sharapova, including 16 straight victories. But one of Sharapova’s wins came at Wimbledon, in the 2004 final, when at age 17 she stunned Williams for the first of her five Grand Slam titles.

“Definitely no secrets between each other’s games,” Sharapova said.

Williams, whose major trophy count is at 20, said of the matchup: “I look forward to it.”

Here was the scouting report from Williams’ coach, Patrick Mouratoglou: “If she plays like today, I don’t think anyone can compete.”

Pick an adjective for Wil-

liams-Azarenka. Intense.

Riveting. Entertaining. Sublime. For 2 hours, 4 minutes on a windy, cloudy day, that’s what this was. Both hit the ball hard. Both covered the court from corner to corner.

“We put on a great show,” Azarenka said.

The other semifinal is No. 13 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland against No. 20 Garbine Muguruza of Spain.

The men’s quarterfinals are Wednesday: Novak Djokovic vs. Marin Cilic, Roger Federer vs. Gilles Simon, Andy Murray vs.

Vasek Pospisil, and Stan Wawrinka vs. Richard Gasquet. Djokovic finished his 6-7 (6), 6-7 (6), 6-1, 6-4, 7-5 fourth-round victory over Kevin Anderson on Tuesday; it was suspended because of darkness after four sets Monday.

Radwanska, the 2012 runner-up, eliminated No. 21 Madison Keys of the

United States 7-6 (3), 3-6, 6-3. Muguruza reached her first major semifinal by defeating No. 15 Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland 7-5, 6-3.

Radwanska compiled 13 winners, 35 fewer than the big-hitting Keys. But on the flip side was this statistic: Radwanska made seven unforced errors, Keys 40.

Just as Keys pushed Radwanska, the 47thranked Vandeweghe gave Sharapova all she could handle, especially in the second set, building a 19-5 edge in winners. Soaking it all in during her first Grand Slam quarterfinal - it was Sharapova’s 23rd - Vandeweghe repeatedly waved her arms after significant points, motioning to spectators to make more noise and be less, well, genteel.

“I relished it pretty well.

I enjoyed my experience.

I enjoyed the crowd out

there,” said Vandeweghe, whose grandfather and uncle were NBA players and grandmother was a Miss America. “I didn’t enjoy the result too much.”

T h a t ’s because Sharapova, so passive in the second set, turned it on at the end, claiming the final three games.

Similarly, Williams was too good in the late going.

From 2-all in the second set, Williams went about 45 minutes without dropping a game, taking that set and going ahead 3-0 in the third. Azarenka wouldn’t concede, and even had a break point in the final game.

Williams erased that with an ace, one of a halfdozen in her final two service games.

“I mean,” the 33-year-old American said, “that’s my game on grass - just aces.”

Oh, but it’s so much more.

Referees also under scrutiny at NBA Summer League ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -With his slender build and 6-foot-5 frame, Nate Green blends in at a gym full of up-and-coming players looking to make their mark at Orlando’s NBA summer league.

But the people Green is trying to impress this week won’t be competing for the NBA Finals next season. They could, however, be the ones deciding if he gets to officiate it one day.

While each of the NBA’s three summer league stops in Orlando, Utah and Las Vegas are more focused on recent draft picks and other players scrabbling to make rosters, it is also become a proving ground for recently hired NBA referees and those auditioning for jobs.

As part its development program, the NBA uses refs like Green and others from the National Basket-

ball Development League to serve as officials during summer league.

Those that perform well go on to referee in the Dleague and could eventually have a chance to be elevated to referee in either the WNBA or NBA. The past 40 full-time officials that have been hired by the NBA since 2001 have come through the Dleague training program.

That list includes former player, turned referee Haywoode Workman - now a seven-year NBA veteran referee, and Lauren Holtcamp, who became just the league’s third woman to become a full-time ref this past season.

“When I came in, I came through the college ranks.

Guys came to a camp, you tried out and they hired the ones they liked. Some of us made it and some of us didn’t,” said NBA direc-

tor of officials Don Vaden.

“It’s changed completely from what it was then.”

What was once just a handful of scouts searching out NBA refs is now a yearround operation that keeps tabs on about a 1,000 referees at all levels at any given time. Once initially identified, potential NBA officials are cast into a three-tier system farm system: grassroots, mid-level and elite.

Each step along the way includes both on-court training, and off court character evaluation.

Those that excel then have a chance be hired as fulltime NBA slots. Those that don’t head back to minors.

For Green, 37, that journey began after he ended a nine-year professional playing career that saw stops overseas and briefly in the D-league. He was looking to get back into basketball, and had an

opportunity through his brother-in-law to fill in as a ref at a men’s recreation league game.

“The light bulb kind of went off, I fell in love with it and thought `This is it.’

This is what’s gonna bring me back around basketball,” said Green, who is entering his first year with the D-league. “I guess with anything, you’re at the right place at the right time.”

Five-year NBA veteran referee Brent Barnaky spent 16 years in the college and D-league ranks before becoming a fulltime official in 2010. The University of Central Florida and Nova Southeastern law school graduate said the NBA’s referee evaluation was intricate.

“It’s an intense process,” Barnaky said. “I joke with folks at home that the sheer number of hours I put into becoming an NBA referee

far outweighs the amount of hours I spent studying for law school and the bar exam to become a lawyer.”

While Vaden said there’s no finite timeframe for how long a candidate must spend in the D-league before getting a shot to move up, what is clear is that it might be perfect time to enter the system.

With only so many positions to go around, league expansion used to be the thing that triggered hiring.

Now necessity is starting to play a role with 20 of the NBA’s 63-man, full-time referee roster having now officiated for 20 or more years in the league.

Because the league is experimenting with new technology like headsets and other devices to aid officials, Vaden said younger officials have a comfort level that some of the older vets might not.

“There was a time when I can remember them giving our computers for the first time. We didn’t know how to open them, much less cut it on. So we’ve been from that generation to now with the iPhones and iPads and tablets and things - everybody knows how to use the technology,” he said. That has also aided in those candidates evaluation process thanks to the availability of video.

“Now guys on any level can get video of his game.

It’s online somewhere.

Whereas when I came up and worked in the NBA, unless you got a VHS tape after the game, you didn’t get any recording of the game, Vaden said. “Now you get to see all your stuff and really micromanage what you’re doing as an individual, and others can see it, too.”

NEW YORK (AP) -- The All-Star Game will have a Kansas City flavor, just not as much as it appeared last month.

And the hometown Reds can celebrate a starter, too, despite Cincinnati’s sorry season.

Houston second baseman Jose Altuve passed Kansas City’s Omar Infante in the final days of voting, leaving four Royals as starters for the AllStar Game.

Cincinnati’s Todd Frazier leapfrogged St. Louis third baseman Matt Carpenter and will be in the NL starting lineup for the July 14 game at Great American Ball Park, according to final results announced Sunday.

AL champion Kansas City will be represented in the starting lineup by outfielders Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordon, catcher Salvador Perez and shortstop Alcides Escobar. Four players ties the AL record for fan-elected starters, achieved nine times previously.

Kansas City had not had any starters since outfielder Jermaine Dye in 2000.

“Winning brings attention, and that’s what we’ve been doing,” Gordon said.

“I think we play with a lot of energy, a lot of fun. People have noticed it.”

Eight Royals were on track to start in vote totals announced June 15, but first baseman Eric Hosmer, third baseman Mike Moustakas and designated hitter Kendrys Morales also were overtaken.

“We’re going to have a blast,” said Royals manager Ned Yost, manager of the AL team.

“The All-Star Game is an experience you never forget, and to do it with so many of our teammates there is really special.”

Yost already has made one decision: Cain will play right field and Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels will play center field.

Trout will make his fourth straight All-Star appearance.

Seattle’s Nelson Cruz, suspended for the final 50 games of the 2013 season for violating baseball’s drug agreement, was elected to start for the second straight year.

In the closest vote at any position, Cruz’s 10.6 million votes edged Morales’ 10.32 million at designated hitter.

Toronto’s Josh Donaldson will start at third for the second straight year after receiving a record vote total of 14.09 million, topping Josh Hamilton’s 11.07 million in 2012.

Trout was second this year with 14 million.

Washington outfielder Bryce Harper set a mark for NL players at 13.86

million, topping the previous record of 7.62 million set three years ago by San Francisco catcher Buster Posey, who was elected to start again this year.

MLB said 620 million votes were cast, breaking the old mark of 391 million in 2012. The New York Yankees do not have any fan-elected starters for the first time since 2001.

At least two elected starters will miss the game because of injuries: Miami outfielder Giancarlo Stanton broke a hand on June 26, and Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera hurt his left calf Friday.

In addition, the Cardinals’ Matt Holliday, who finished third among NL outfielders behind Harper and Stanton, has been sidelined since straining a quadriceps on June 8 and is uncertain when he will return.

“I’m getting there,” Holliday said. “I’ve got a few more hurdles to clear with my running, but I feel like I’m getting pretty close.”

Each fan could cast up to 35 ballots in the first year of all-online voting.

Pitchers and reserves will be announced Monday.

Altuve overturned a 232,000-vote deficit in Monday’s update and finished with 9.63 million to top Infante, who was just shy of 9 million.

Frazier trailed Carpenter by 2.5 million votes in mid-June and by 63,000 at the start of the week but finished ahead by 2.1 million.

“I was really nervous. I was excited. It was a huge comeback,” Frazier said.

“I’m pretty much on Cloud Nine.”

NL starters include Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, Miami second baseman Dee Gordon and St. Louis shortstop Jhonny Peralta, who also was suspended 50 games following MLB’s investigation of the Biogenesis of America clinic.

Dee Gordon remembered attending All-Star Games when his dad, pitcher Tom Gordon, made the roster.

“In 2004 I got kicked off the field for trying to rob Home Run Derby homers.”
