hose vying for a place in next year’s West Virginia University Student Government Association shared their plans to better the University last night in the Mountainlair.

For student body president, vice president and athletic counsel, this election is unopposed. In the race for the Board of Governors, however, there are 16 candidates.

Only one won’t be elected to next year’s governing board.

All but one of the candidates are also on the Forward Movement’s ticket, headed by Julie Merow running for student body president and Mac McIntyre as student body vice president. Olivia Dudley, a Slavic and eastern European studies student, is running independently for the BOG against the ticket, on a platform focused on improving advising at WVU. With an almost completely unopposed ticket, last night’s debate did not include much debating, and instead was a final opportunity for candidates to remind students about their platform before they vote tomorrow.

Candidates for 2016-17 SGA administration share platforms before voting begins Athletic counselor candidates and BOG candidates were allotted one minute to share their platform, then 30 seconds to answer a question presented by the moderator, political science professor David Hauser.

After the athletic counsel and BOG candidates, McIntyre represented both himself and Merow while she represented WVU at the Big 12 on the Hill conference in Washington D.C.. McIntyre gave a two minute opening statement, then answered 12 questions with 90 second responses.

Hauser drafted the questions for McIntyre, while the elections committee, made of about seven current SGA students, was responsible for brainstorming questions for BOG and athletic counselors, most of which consisted of asking how the candidates planned to finance their initiatives.

Roshan Daniel, a member of the elections committee, said while many on the committee are “close friends” of those running, anyone who thought they may hold bias toward a candidate could opt to leave the room when they formed debate questions.

Elba Nurys Olivo, a worker from Dominican Republic, visits Stewart Hall to hopefully meet President E. Gordon Gee in order to send a message of fair labor.

Monday afternoon. “We’re not here trying to sell you a brand. We’re trying to sell you a model, a model which should be followed around the world.”

The factory in Alta Gracia pays its workers three times the standard wages, provides medical insurance for all employees and has a doctor on site to treat any immediate medical needs.

A group of students with Mountaineers for Fair Labor listening to Olivo and Sosa’s talk went to Stewart Hall to try and meet with WVU President E. Gordon Gee. Gee wasn’t available, but the students left a letter urging him to support Alta Gracia.

Those students say they’ll go back every Friday to de-

When Elba Nurys Olivo was working in a sweatshop—a factory workshop where workers are employed under poor conditions—in the Dominican Republic, she saw things that would make some Americans gasp.

One day, while working in a sweatshop, she said her employers were cleaning the ceiling with a particularly toxic chemical. Workers weren’t allowed to leave the room, and the chemicals filled the air, making it hard to breathe.

It was too much for some to handle. Several workers passed out and had to be taken to a hospital out of town.

“This company didn’t even have the decency to talk to everyone and give an explanation of what happened after,” Olivo said through a translator.

That was years ago. Olivo and about 129 other workers now work for a fair-wage garment factory in Alta Gracia.

She and Hanoi Sosa, an organizer for fair employment laws in the Dominican Republic, have traveled across the country to inspire college students to take up their cause.

Olivo and Sosa want to pressure universities like West Virginia University to sign contracts with the factory in Alta Gracia so athletic apparel will be produced there.

“We’re not here trying to sell you a T-Shirt,” Sosa told students in the Mountainlair

There are already two Tshirts in the Barnes & Noble bookstore from Alta Gracia.

“In our eyes, if Mountaineers go first, we want to make sure our apparel is held to the same standard,” said Kira Carew, a junior fashion design and merchandising student who is a member of Mountaineers for Fair Labor.

Olivo said when the new fair-wage factory was opened six years ago, she was able to rescue her family from a life of poverty. The previous factory she worked at closed down, forcing her to withdraw the children from school because she couldn’t afford to send them any longer.

Now, her life has taken

an upturn. She said she had a recent accident where she broke her leg and had to spend several days in the hospital.

“I had to go through several surgeries and didn’t have to pay for anything out of pocket,” she said.

The factory offers a “solidarity immersion” experience for students who want to visit the Dominican Republic and learn more about the factory. Organizers hope by going through the immersion, students will feel empowered to come back to the United States and share their experiences with other students.

A team of West Virginia University students will participate in a two-year international competition to design and build a solarpowered home.

The 2017 Solar Decathlon challenges college students to build innovative, affordable and energy-efficient houses. This will be WVU’s third time participating in the competition.

WVU will spend the first year of the competition designing the house, and the second year will be spent building the house.

The house will be built in Morgantown and then shipped to the competition site.

“The whole design is modular, so we can build it in one town and test out all the systems and then break it down and send it to the competition location and compete it there,” said Sharrafti Kuzmar, one of the project managers and an electrical engineering student. “Once we’re at the competition location, we have nine days to rebuild the house, hence the very modular design.

We can get it done quickly and efficiently there. Once we get the house built, we have two weeks of competition, and we showcase the house.”

This year, the project is titled OASIS, which stands for Offering Appa-

lachian States Innovative Sustainability.

“It’s intended to be an educational model on homes for disaster relief in the Appalachian region, and that relates back to the water pollution disaster crisis in Charleston, the air pollution from coal mining and chemical industries,” said Lauren Hogan, who is part of the communications team for the project.

The OASIS house will have a solar power array, water filtration system for recycled water, air filtration systems, solar water heaters and a solar dryer. The team plans to include a homeautomation system controlled by a smart phone or tablet.

The house also focuses on addressing poverty and healthy dieting habits. The design for the house includes a green wall or green roof where edible plants can be grown.

“Basically what we’re promoting is healthy living for a healthy lifestyle,” Hogan said. “If you’re growing it yourself, it’s not covered in pesticides - it’s healthy food.”

Since the project is biennial, the 2017 team lost the seniors who worked on the 2015 project. Hogan said recruiting new people is a goal they have now in order to replace the graduated seniors and bring new people into the project.

In this Jan. 26, 2012 file photo, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas speaks at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. Thomas has asked questions during Supreme Court arguments for the first time in 10 years. Thomas’ question came Monday, Feb. 29, 2016, in a case in which the court is considering placing new limits on the reach of a federal law that bans people convicted of domestic violence from owning guns.

Justice Thomas asks questions in court, first time in 10 years WASHINGTON (AP)— Justice Clarence Thomas broke 10 years of courtroom silence Monday and posed questions during a Supreme Court oral argument, provoking gasps from the audience.

And it wasn’t just one question; it was a string of them in an exchange that lasted several minutes.

It was only the second week the court has heard arguments since the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, Thomas’ friend and fellow conservative, whom he’d sat next to for seven years.

Scalia was famous for aggressive and sometimes

combative questions from the bench. His chair is now draped in black in observance of his Feb. 13 death.

Thomas’ gravelly voice unexpectedly filled the courtroom and enlivened an otherwise sleepy argument about gun rights. He peppered Justice Department lawyer Ilana Eisenstein, who was trying to wind up her argument, with 10 or so questions that seemed to be a vigorous defense of the constitutional right to own a gun.

“Ms. Eisenstein, one question,” Thomas said.

“This is a misdemeanor violation. It suspends a con-

stitutional right. Can you give me another area where a misdemeanor violation suspends a constitutional right?”

Until then, it had been business as usual for the first 50 minutes of the hourlong session in Voisine v.

United States. The court was considering the reach of a federal law that bans people convicted of domestic violence from owning guns.

None of the other justices visibly reacted to Thomas’ remarks.

Eisenstein noted that violating other laws can, in some cases, limit a person’s free-speech rights under

the First Amendment.

“OK,” Thomas said. “So can you think of a First Amendment suspension or a suspension of a First Amendment right that is permanent?”

It was a topic no other justice had asked about.

And his comments came after several of the other justices seemed to favor the government’s position that the law applies whether the abuse is intentional or reckless.

Thomas last asked a question in court on Feb. 22, 2006, and his unusual silence over the years has become a curiosity. Every

other justice regularly poses questions from the bench.

Thomas has come under criticism for his silence from some who say he is neglecting his duties as a justice. He has said he relies on the written briefs in a case and doesn’t need to ask questions of the lawyers appearing in court.

Carrie Severino, a former clerk to Thomas who now heads a conservative advocacy group, said the justice had kept his silence “because he felt that oral arguments have become less civil and respectful of the attorneys and their arguments over the past two de-

cades, often becoming little more than rhetorical jousting among the justices.”

Like Scalia, Thomas has long championed Second Amendment gun rights.

In December, he and Scalia objected when the high court refused to hear a challenge to a Chicago suburb’s assault weapons ban that was upheld by lower courts. Thomas said the justices should not stand by while lower courts relegate “the Second Amendment to a second-class right.”

Thomas did not speak during the court’s second argument on Monday.

GOP badly split as Trump, Clinton seek super Tuesday wins VALDOSTA, Ga. (AP)— On the eve of Super Tuesday’s crucial primaries, a sharp new divide erupted between Republicans who pledge to fall in line behind Donald Trump if he wins their party’s nomination and others who insist they can never back the bombastic billionaire.

The fissure could have major implications beyond the primaries, exposing the looming challenges in uniting the party after the election, no matter who wins.

Nebraska’s Ben Sasse, a rising star among conservatives, became the first current senator to publicly raise the prospect of backing a third-party option if Trump clinches the nomination. In a letter posted on Facebook late Sunday, Sasse urged Republicans to consider whether a party led by Trump would still represent their interests.

“If our party is no longer working for the things we believe in - like defending the sanctity of life, stopping Obamacare, protecting the Second Amendment, etc. - then people of

good conscience should stop supporting that party until it is reformed,” he wrote.

The Associated Press asked Republican senators and governors across the country if they would support Trump if he secured the nomination.

Just under half of those who responded would not commit to backing him, foreshadowing a potentially extraordinary break this fall.

“I am increasingly concerned by Donald Trump’s statements and behavior, and I have serious concerns about his ability to win the general election and provide presidential leadership,” Indiana Sen. Dan Coats said in a statement to the AP. The concern among Republican leaders appeared to grow in light of Trump’s refusal to immediately disavow former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke’s support.

Mitt Romney, the party’s 2012 nominee, called that “disqualifying.” And South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, campaigning in At-

lanta alongside Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, said she would “not stop fighting a man who refuses to disavow the KKK.” Trump said he had not understood the interviewer who first raised the question about Duke, and he did later repudiate him. “How many times do I have to continue to disavow people?” he said.

Several high-profile Republicans and conservative writers have embraced an anti-Trump social media campaign, using the Twitter hashtag “NeverTrump.”

Trump has won three of four early primary contests, roiling a party that had assumed his populist appeal with voters would fizzle. Instead, he’s only grown stronger and appears to be in commanding position heading into Super Tuesday, the biggest single-day delegate haul of the year.

Tensions boiled over during Trump’s rally Monday in Radford, Virginia, where he was repeatedly disrupted by demonstrators, including 20 or more

mat is what is laid out in the SGA Elections code, and is what has been practiced for “years and years,” according to Daniel.

This year’s election, however, is much different than the SGA elections of the past few years. The closest comparison comes from 2008, when the race for the BOG was also a single ticket race with one independent contender, but there was competition for the executive offices that year.

“I’m in favor of students participating. I’m in favor of anything to get students in-

volved in politics, political life, government life, University life,” Hauser said.

“On the other hand, I think it would have been a good idea to recognize the reality of how things were and make some appropriate changes to the elections.”

Daniels said the elections committee theorized several changes to the debate format to accommodate the oddities of this race, but all went against the Elections Code. An amendment to the code could only be proposed by the current BOG, which includes candidates

seeking election next year, including Governor Amber Kaska.

“We could have done something to give students more information about the candidates and made it longer,” Kaska said. “I feel like it was cut short this year.”

Last year also represented odd circumstances for the SGA election, with straightticket voting implemented for the first and last time.

Kaska mentioned the possibility of adding an amendment to the Elections Code that could allow for special circumstances

in debates and other election on-goings, depending on the circumstances of the election.

“If we can get more information and more facts out to students during the debate, it should be done,” Kaska said.

Those in attendance heard the most information from McIntyre, and while this provided a deeper knowledge of his and Merow’s plans and platforms, the two will almost absolutely take SGA executive office next year because of the unopposed race.

This does not hold true for the BOG candidates, since the platform and actions of whoever doesn’t make the BOG may not be implemented by those who do, making the student body’s understanding of their information more critical for the election. “... In the end,” Hauser said, “the goal is to produce information for voters so voters can decide who it is they want to be the student representatives to the administration.”

ing with other people in your department, you’re learning to work with other people across different areas, trying to figure out different ways different people work,” Kuzmar said. “I think that’s a really big deal for a lot of students who don’t really know that yet about industry, but once we work on this project we kind of get a fundamental

feel of how it’s going to work.”

For the 2015 STILE design, WVU teamed up with University of Rome Tor Vergata in Rome, Italy. The house had an open floor plan and outdoor space.

“Because we worked with a school in Italy, we really wanted to bridge the gap between Roman architecture and West Virginia culture,”

Kuzmar said. “With our design, we had a substructure that held the solar panels, it was an arch shape, and then all our solar panels curved with the arch. That was aesthetically pleasing, but at the same time we got all the energy we needed for our house.”

WVU is not partnered with another university for the

2017 Solar Decathlon, making it a chance for the team to showcase the skills of WVU students.

“OASIS is the third house we are doing, and we are going to hit the ground running and show the community and West Virginia what we are really capable of doing and the people WVU is producing,” Hogan said.

“They’re producing students who can do top quality work.

We want to show top quality work that benefits our local area.”

The Solar Decathlon team meets at 5 p.m. on alternating Mondays and Thursdays in the Advanced Engineering Research Building.

A letter from your 2015-16 Student Body President, Vice President by george capel

student body PresIDENT

It has been a great honor to serve as your student body president this year. I was born and raised in West Virginia, so it has been a humbling experience for me to represent you, the 30,000 students of our flagship University.

At the beginning of our administration, I laid out a vision for the future. It was my primary goal to help build a foundation for a more proactive student community on campus.

Upon this foundation, our University will continue to thrive and flourish, as many new generations of Mountaineers come to add their brick and continue building our collective legacy.

In retrospect, we have made tremendous strides for West Virginia University this year. We have made ad-

vancements in student programming, research initiatives, academic advising, student retention, legislative policy, access to financial aid and many other issues important to our students. However, possibly one of our greatest achievements has been facilitating a cultural change on campus.

At this time last year, we were affected by several tragedies leaving us all looking for a way forward.

Once the dust settled, it gave me a great sense of pride to see our student leaders come together and “take our University back.”

Today, we are leaps and bounds ahead of where we were at that time. Although we can never change our past and we should never forget where we came from, we always have the opportunity to make a difference for our future.

Even now, we are turning the page to begin writing a new chapter in our history at WVU. As we begin this new journey, we must remain mindful that we are responsible for the history we write. How will people remember us? What will they say about us 10, 20 or 50 years from now? Each day presents us with a new opportunity to accomplish great things and change the world as we know it. I know there is a bright future ahead of us, and as Mountaineers it is in our nature to go out and claim it. No matter where you go or what you do in your lifetime, always remember to “Go First!”

Thank you all for giving me the greatest years of my life. Without a doubt, until the end of my days, I will bleed gold and blue because of you.

BY ASHLEY MORGAN

STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT

Being the Student Body Vice President has been more than a title for me, it has truly helped me discover myself. I have been pushed to my limits many times, but this has helped make me a stronger, more organized, more confident and a more independent person. I am most proud of myself for finding my voice and not being afraid to use it.

To the students campaigning, I wish you the best of luck. This opportunity is something that should not be taken lightly as this is your chance to help make West Virginia University an extraordinary place. I have learned a lot the years serving the student body.

My advice comes from three years of diverse experiences. First, take ad-

vantage of every meeting, lunch, event or whatever it may be with a student, faculty member or administrator. There were many times I left one of the aforementioned with new perspectives, new goals and new friends.

Second, don’t be afraid to work with other people.

In order to accomplish your platform you need others supporting you and guiding you. When you feel as though you have hit a roadblock, you must be resilient, and you must be willing to hear “no” while knowing that you don’t have to accept “no.” I firmly believe you can accomplish your goals, as long as you don’t give up.

Finally, as a wise friend always tells me, “keep fighting the good fight.” People are going to tell you you can’t accomplish your platform or you shouldn’t take a stand on something. This

does not mean you should allow yourself to be defeated. This means you need to keep fighting for what you believe is right for the student body.

My goal in life has always been to change the world, even if in a small way and being able to serve as Student Body Vice President has helped me realize my future is much different than the one I envisioned last year at this time. My goals and my identity have changed and I thank the student body for voting for me and in doing so helping me better understand my purpose. I have discovered my strengths and voice and I’m excited for what the next chapter of my life holds.

Thank you to the extraordinary people I have worked with this past year and best of luck to the incoming administration.

SGA Candidates 2016-17 JULIE MEROW

STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT Julie Merow and Mac McIntyre, candidates for student body president and vice president respectively, are hoping to unite the students at West Virginia University and provide them with more transparency and involvement in University decisions and actions.

Under Forward Movement administration, Merow and McIntyre plan to continue ongoing SGA initiatives, like placing a student to sit as a non-voting member of the Morgantown City Council, and start new ones, like a student senate made of representatives from each college.

Merow, a junior public relations student from Morgantown, said her experiences sitting as Vice Chair on the SGA Board of Governors gave her an opportunity to not just see, but really experience what the current student body president and vice president George Capel and Ashley Morgan do in their positions.

“As vice chair, you’re basically the bridge between the vice president and president and the Board of Governors,” she said. “I’ve learned a lot about the system and the way things work, even after two and half years in SGA I feel like I learn new things almost every week about who oversees some department or how a certain system works at the University.”

McIntyre, a senior political science student from Bridgeport, West Virginia, said his experiences at WVU will let him govern from a unique standpoint.

While he has served as an SGA intern, executive secretary and currently sits

MAC MCINTYRE

STUDENT BODY VICE PRESIDENT

on the Board of Governors, McIntyre spent his freshman year outside of the organization, allowing him to see from the outside what could be different, he said. “(Merow) and I are two of the people that have recognized there are changes that need to be made,” he said.

The changes seem to center on unifying the student body in more ways than one.

Merow and McIntyre plan to establish a student senate consisting of two delegates from each college

within the University to represent the different needs students may have.

Earlier this year, Merow attended an SGA conference with SGA representatives from all universities in the Big 12, and learned that comparatively, WVU has a much smaller representative base than most other schools.

“Fifteen people representing 30,000 students is outrageous,” Merow said.

The senate would also bring light to issues that may not always be brought

to the attention of those sitting on the BOG. It will also allow for more weight to be held in the “student voice.”

SGA is meant to represent, since that voice would come with feedback from more than double the students it currently does.

“We want to unify the student body so we have a stronger voice when we come together about issues that are important to us,” McIntyre said.

While they’re working on uniting the student voice, Merow and McIntyre also

want to make students’ lives easier with things like transportation, which would allow for messages and events to also flow easier between campuses, McIntyre said.

Since tuition increases are a consequence of state budget cuts, Merow knows she won’t be able to stop or even limit a change in tuition, but said she wants to increase transparency between students and administration when these decisions, and others, are made.

Ultimately, Merow and McIntyre hope they can

promote student involvement in the University and in SGA, even if that involvement is just feedback.

“The overall idea is for SGA to become the central hub of students and student life,” Merow said. “A lot of students don’t realize what SGA can do for them and that we’re here to help them. Even if we’re busy with our platforms, we’re always looking for more things to do and ways to help the students.”

Waris’ platform - Mountaineers for West Virginia - is intent on making the University more involved with the issues the state faces, specifically childhood obesity.

These ambassadors would then be sent back to their communities trained to host the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle.

Ernest, a Parkersburg, West Virginia native, is a freshman business student. He’s one of two students running unopposed to be an athletic councilor with West Virginia University’s Student Government Association.

Ernest’s platform continues on efforts of previous athletic councilors and centers on two things : creating safe post-football game traditions and starting watch

He also wants to implement intramural sports for students with physical or mental disabilities.

When Ernest came to WVU, he knew immediately he wanted to get involved with SGA. He was heavily involved with student council in high school, and he is StudenT Body President George Capel’s intern this year.

Other than that, Ernest spends his time as an active Mountaineer Maniac and a brother of Delta Tau Delta, like his grandfather years before.

Shannon Smith, a sophomore public relations student, didn’t waste any time before becoming involved in West Virginia University’s Student Government Association.

She started her freshman year helping out with her friend’s campaign, then became an intern for SGA during fall 2015.

Smith, a candidate on the Forward ticket, is campaigning on the platform of mental health support and awareness.

“Mental health is something that affects a lot of people in many different ways, so I think it’s important the students know they have a safe place to go to and people to support them if they find

themselves in need of help,” Smith said. “I intend to improve the Carruth Center in terms of efficiency, privacy and affordability.”

The Carruth Center is the mental health center at WVU here to help with psychological and psychiatric needs any student on campus may have.

“It’s such a great center with so many services they provide. I feel like students aren’t really educated on (it),” Smith said.

When Smith is not in classes or campaigning, she stays busy with other clubs and organizations on campus. She is an active sister with leadership roles in Alpha Phi sorority and a member of WVU’s National Association of Black Journalists.

After becoming the student body president at Musselman High School in Berkeley County, West Virginia, Brewster gained interest in further student government involvment.

Brewster suggested softening the high school-tocollege transition by encouraging new students to join student organizations, and for student organizations in

turn to be more visible in the first few weeks of school.

He said student organizations could travel around to residence halls, appear in the Mountainlair more regularly, talk with students and make them feel more comfortable and welcome.

As another part of his platform, Brewster wants to implement a rewards program from his high school for students with good grades and behavior.

Brewster has been enjoying his campaigning and said he enjoys listening to what students have to say.

Brewster said he should be elected due to his newness in college and openness to new ideas.

Dudley said, for the most part, she has gotten lucky. In the small Slavic and Eastern European studies program, she’s close with her classmates.

But it pains her to see friends struggle with classes, all the while not knowing WVU often offers free tutoring on campus.

She wants to create a voluntary program where upperclassmen could mentor an undergraduate student.

With this program, they could help them figure out what classes are too much to take at one time, ways to get involved with their major and more.

“I want SGA to be different. I don’t want it to be just one party that goes and wins it all,” Dudley said. “It’s weird being independent, but it makes me feel better knowing it’s not just them getting it because they stood up (for) it.”

SGA candidate Morgan King is a sophomore civil and environmental engineering student, currently running to represent West Virginia University students as part of the Forward Party.

The Charleston native’s main platform concerns residential-life improvement and enhanced transportation services for students.

King would also like to improve students’ access to services and resources in the residence halls to help freshmen better adapt to adulthood.

For example, during the 2016 national election she wants to implement voter registration directly in residence halls to encourage students to participate in the political process.

One of King’s biggest issues with WVU is the stark distance between the Downtown and Evansdale campuses, and she wishes to bridge that gap by improving transportation services.

In order to improve the bus service, King would like to establish meetings with the director of Mountain Line Transit Authority to negotiate a possible extension of operating hours. King says she’d want routes like the Orange and Gold lines (which stop running at 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) to extend their hours.

Her top priorities, if elected, are lowering laundry costs (currently $1.25 per load) and increasing the number of Mountain Line busses to make transportation easier for WVU students.

King plans to use her connections as the current president of the Residence Hall Association to work with Housing and Residence Life coordinators to discuss her platform.

Community members recall man fatally shot by police officer

A man sits near the scene of a fatal shooting in Raleigh, N.C., Monday, Feb. 29, 2016. Authorities say that a police officer shot and killed a man while trying to make an arrest for a felony drug charge. (AP Photo/Gerry Broome) RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)—Community members gathered Monday night to remember a Raleigh man fatally shot by a police officer during a foot chase as he was trying to arrest him on drug charges.

In the first several hours after the shooting, local television coverage showed police forming a line in the street near the downtown neighborhood where the shooting took place as a number of people gathered behind yellow crime-scene tape that blocked off the area and began chanting “No justice, no peace!”

The chant has been used repeatedly across the nation in recent years to protest the deaths of black men following encounters with law en-

forcement officers.

By late afternoon, the police tape had been taken down and by evening several dozen people had gathered with candles at a makeshift memorial near where the shooting happened.

Several hundred people gathered in the evening to hear speakers address the crowd. The Rev. Chris Jones of Ship of Zion, a church in the neighborhood, said he knew the dead man and asked aloud why the officer had to kill him.

After addressing the crowd, Jones said in a brief interview that he wanted people to remember the slain man as a good person.

Police Chief Cassandra Deck-Brown did not re-

veal the man’s race during a news conference at City Hall. She said a firearm was found near the man’s body but did not say whether it was his. She also said the man was wanted on a felony drug charge. DeckBrown declined to provide any other details about the circumstances of the shooting pending a customary investigation by the State Bureau of Investigation.

The officer who shot the man was identified as Senior Officer D.C. Twiddy, police spokesman Jim Sughrue said in a statement late Monday. He said Twiddy would be placed on administrative leave, as per department policy, while the SBI completed its investigation

Claresa Williams said she was standing on the curb in front of her apartment when she saw an officer drive up.

A man standing in front of a convenience store then began to run, she said.

“When the police came, he jumped the fence” into the backyard of a modest house next door, Williams told The Associated Press.

“The officer jumped the fence, pulled his gun out and shot him down six times.”

The officer didn’t clear the fence cleanly, causing observers to snicker, but he never hit the ground, Wilson said.

Her view was blocked so Wilson didn’t see the victim fall from bullets. “To me, you pulled your gun out and you

fired at that man six times in his back because he was running,” Wilson said.

Bishop Darnell Dixon, who for 20 years has served as pastor of the Bibleway Temple church about a quarter-mile from where the shooting happened, said neighborhood relations with the police have generally been good, and he believed calm would prevail.

“This is very different for this community, the actual shooting,” he said. “I’m interested in knowing: Why did it escalate to this point?”

Tamekia Richardson said she saw a male police officer chasing a man into the backyard of one of the street’s modest homes. The men disappeared from view, and

ap

then she heard shots.

She said she then ran down a side street away from the shooting.

Judith Lewis, a woman who described herself as a community activist who has lived in the area for years, said a lot of drug activity takes place in the neighborhood at night. She blamed it on buyers coming in from elsewhere.

“It’s an open-air market,” she said.

Deck-Brown said the Raleigh Police Department’s Internal Affairs unit will investigate whether any departmental policies were violated. She said she will send a report to the city manager within five working days.

Bringing new solutions back to W. Va. In 2010, Charleston, West Virginia had 51,400 people residing within its boundaries. Of those 51,000 people, 9 percent were between the ages of 18 and 24 and roughly 24 percent were between the ages of 25 and 44.

Compare these numbers to Seattle which had 608,660 residents in the same year. Almost 12 percent of the city’s population was between 18 and 24, and 38 percent were between 25 and 44 years old. Oakland, California, named one of the best places for young people in 2015 by Business Insider, had a population of nearly 391,000 in 2010.

Why are so many young people flocking to places like California and Washington? The answer might be found in each town’s

appeal to the younger generation. These cities have the basic attractions appealing to younger generations: coffee shops, hip restaurants with vegetar-

ian and vegan options, better job options with innovative companies such as Google and a thriving nightlife. Excluding Morgantown and Huntington,

West Virginia’s bigger cities do not offer nearly as many attractive options.

It’s also hard to ignore recent legislation that is fundamentally unappealing to a younger generation, such as the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the permitless concealed carry bill, a bill that would allow firearms to be carried on college campuses and Right-to-Work Act, just to name a few.

These laws not only make the state look as though it is moving back in time, but it tells progressive young adults their type of thinking is not welcome. It’s no surprise many current college students don’t want to live in a state with high obesity rates, poor mental health care and the highest number of drug deaths nationwide.

As a result, many young West Virginians seek to leave this state and venture out into the world.

However, whether they travel the planet or simply move across the country in search of more secure and better-paying jobs, they should consider returning to West Virginia and giving back to their communities.

West Virginia’s current practices are not moving the state forward, so it’s up to the younger generation to revive this state by forging new paths. Whether this will involve boosting the economy with more lucrative industries or spurring social change, modifying the current system is something this state badly needs in the years ahead. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

New face of MAC line causes unnecessary controversy jenna gilbert columnist @j3nn_1f3r

Recently, MAC Cosmetics announced the newest face of its Viva Glam line will be Caitlyn Jenner, the transgender former patriarch of the Jenner-Kardashian clan. However, fans of the makeup line have mixed emotions about the choice. While many are ecstatic about MAC choosing a member of the transgender community to represent the Viva Glam line, the majority are less than thrilled the company chose Jenner.

I learned of the decision to make Jenner a Viva Glam representative from a YouTube beauty guru. After reading the comments section of a blog post announcing the decision, I found most of her viewers would have preferred transgender actress Laverne Cox for the beauty line instead.

Many seemed to be turned off by the thought of another member of the Kardashian-Jenner clan sponsoring a lip product, especially given that 100 percent of this product’s funds are donated to the MAC AIDS Fund, a foundation which donates money to organizations helping those affected by HIV and AIDS. Giving Jenner even more publicity for this seemed to be a less-than-appealing idea in the comments.

The MAC AIDS Fund works in three ways: Pre-

MAC’s choice of naming Caitlyn Jenner as the representative for their Viva Glam line has led to many people claiming Laverne Cox should have received the honor instead. vention, treatment and providing basic needs for those infected with HIV and AIDS. In its 20 years of existence, the Viva Glam line alone has donated $400 million to helping those in AIDSaffected areas around the world. Because of the work MAC does with Viva Glam, individuals are taught how to reduce their chances of contracting this deadly illness and are also given the means to seek treatment, get tested and learn to live with their illness.

Although many are applauding MAC for showing

its support for the LGBT community, MAC isn’t doing anything it hasn’t done before. For years the company has chosen celebrities who aren’t afraid to step outside the boundaries of what society deems normal in order to shed light on minority issues and encourage positive self-reflection.

The list of celebrities who represent MAC includes Miley Cyrus, Nicki Minaj, RuPaul, Lady Gaga and Elton John, each serving as a voice for those who otherwise don’t have one.

While it seems every-

one is focused on Cox being a better face for the line than Jenner, they ignore the main reason for this line: Helping victims of AIDS. Like the people MAC selects for its AIDS campaign, MAC itself strives to change the negative stigma surrounding the disease. Despite my personal opinion of Jenner, what she is doing with MAC is objectively beneficial for individuals all around the world, not just in the United States.

Cox would also be a great choice to represent the LGBT commu-

nity, but the sheer amount of attention Jenner has brought to the transgender community is undeniable. Her public comingout and transition have given those struggling with their own identities someone to admire. Whether a fan of Jenner’s or not, she is an exact match with the message MAC is trying to portray: Age, sex and race don’t matter, but the ability to live a whole and just life does.

The face of Viva Glam is not as important as the cause it’s supporting. AIDS

affects countless individuals worldwide, and MAC has provided millions of dollars to organizations working to prevent and teaching individuals how to manage their diagnosis.

MAC uses strong individuals to promote its campaign to encourage the masses to fight the negative stigma surrounding them and to help those who struggle to find their own voice. They aren’t just there for sales— they participate to make a difference. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

‘Pokémon’ continues to excite fans through use of nostalgia kody goff columnist @retrosyk

“Pokémon,” the ever-famous, ever-popular media franchise about capturing and battling strange creatures, turned 20 years old on Feb. 27. Nintendo, the company in charge of publishing the “Pokémon” games and licensing its best-selling merchandise, has taken steps to make this event memorable, meaningful and even profitable.

While a company celebrating the anniversary of one of its major properties is nothing new, this particular instance highlights the power, importance and scope of nostalgia in our culture.

When “Pokémon” first hit the scene in 1996, it grew to dominate the market. The games, toys and merchandise immediately flew off store shelves as children around the world flocked to an entirely new media franchise. It wasn’t the first marketing juggernaut to take the children’s entertainment industry by storm, but it was

DA

arguably the first to be based around a video game rather than a line of toys.

In becoming so wildly popular, the “Pokémon” franchise joined the leagues of the ‘80s toy giants like “Transformers” and “HeMan” in being remembered less for their source material and more for their animated series.

Today, “Pokémon” is remembered fondly by millions of people. Most of the franchise’s earliest fans are now in their late teens or early 20s, and the advent of its anniversary is seen by many as a cause for nostalgic celebration. Granted, there won’t be any giant parades or “Pokémon” festivals, but the sheer amount of sentimentality Nintendo has milked from older fans of the franchise from this anniversary is enough to warrant attention.

I am a gamer and have been since a very young age, but “Pokémon” is not a franchise I’ve ever been interested in. However, most of my closest friends have been ardent fans of the pocket monsters since childhood, and every one of them has been enthusiastic about

The future releases of Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon have generated enthusiasm.

“Pokémon’s” anniversary.

Whether their excitement is over the “Pokémon” Super Bowl commercial, the special-edition handheld gaming consoles or the announcement of two new games, every longtime fan of the series has something to look forward to.

Why are so many people from such diverse backgrounds excited about “Pokémon?” There wasn’t nearly as much fuss over the 30th anniversary of “Super

Mario Bros.” last year, or even the 30th anniversary of “The Legend of Zelda” just earlier this month.

Perhaps, in a cynical light, it may seem as though Nintendo is giving the attention to the franchise which has raked in the most money over the years. There may well be some modicum of truth to this, but I feel the enthusiasm has more to do with the feelings of the generation that grew up with “Pokémon.” I believe the

reason “Pokémon” is being celebrated to such an extent is because it was many kids’ first exposure to fan communities and pop culture.

The Internet has allowed even the most specific fan communities to grow and expand, and “Pokémon” is arguably much more than a simple niche community.

Online, one can find news clips of massive groups which formed simply to play “Pokémon.” Retailers had regular special events

gamerant.com

dedicated to the hit media franchise.

“Pokémon” was everywhere, and that fact united people in the late ‘90s just as it does to this very day.

This cultural phenomenon continues to bring people of all types together to play games, trade cards, collect toys, watch shows and discuss surprisingly deep topics all for the love of pocket monsters. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Carlton Smith & Marissa Bailey Marissa Bailey and Carlton Smith are a musical dynamic duo at this year’s Dancing With Our Mountaineer Stars. A Buffalo native, Smith graduated from WVU in 2009 with a degree in criminology and investigations before joining the police force in 2012. Smith won Mountaineer Idol his freshman year in 2005 and participated in the 2013 round of “American Idol” after graduation before being eliminated in the group round in Hollywood.

Marissa Bailey is a freshman BFA musical theatre student from Clarksburg, West Virginia and was this year’s first runner up for Mountaineer Idol. Bailey has always been a fan of dance, having worked on dance teams and in dance studios all through her primar y and secondar y schooling as well as performing in musicals.

Both dancers have busy schedules, so meeting up to practice with their choreographer, Cr ystina Reseter, has been

“It’s been hard for us to practice, but she definitely helps the process a lot. Because she (Reseter) already has the moves in her head, she can use her outside eye to tell us what we need to fix and focus on more,” Bailey said.

The competition seems to be a great place to make connections, as the two have been introduced to many of WVU’s important

names as well as Mountaineers or Mountaineer alumni who are associated with the event in some way.

“Meeting Carlton and making the dance happen from scratch has been the most fun part. It’s going to be fun to go in front of esteemed WVU faculty and dance fans and show them what we’ve been doing and show our school pride,” Bailey said.

Jeff Fuss and Ali Anderson are one couple competing this year.

“West Virginia does not have enough blood donors, so this event is a good way to help out people who are in need of that sort of help. It’s an opportunity to promote this blood drive while also putting on a special show,” Fuss said.

In the previous years of competing in Dancing With Our Mountaineer Stars, Fuss has found the big night is always the most fun and exciting part of the whole experience.

“Everyone is in good

spirits and is very friendly.

I don’t see how anyone could leave the ballroom upset or angry after the show. Sonja Wilson also does an amazing job of organizing the whole event, making sure everything runs smoothly,” Fuss said.

Dancing With Our Mountaineer Stars begins at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday in the Mountainlair Ballroom. The competition is free and open to the public.

Oscars recap: Race and DiCaprio Hooked app offers

time-sensitive deals

by Brittany Osteen A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Last night, some of the best actors and actresses gathered for the Academy Awards. This year, the two big topics of conversation included black nominees and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Chris Rock, who was the host this year, started the Oscars with a speech targeting the elephant in the room—this is the second year in a row in which every nominee was white.

“I’m here at the Academy Awards, otherwise known as the White People’s Choice Awards,” Rock said.

The speech targeted a lot of the controversy circulating while remaining funny and light-hearted to a certain extent.

“Why are we protesting this Oscars? It’s the 88th Academy Awards, which means this ‘no black nominees’ thing happened at least 71 other times. You got to figure that it happened in the ’50s, in the ’60s. One of those years, Sidney (Poitier) didn’t put out a movie. I’m sure there were no black nominees some of those years, say ‘62 or ‘63. Black people did not protest. Why? Because we had real things to protest at the time,” Rock said.

Continuing through the night, Chris Rock presented a spoof video after talking about the struggle black actors have finding opportunity. While all the spoofs were funny, Tracy Morgan may have stolen the show with his role in “The Danish Girl.”

Morgan said, “I’m a Danish Girl. These danishes is good girl!”

The other movie spoofs included “Joy” with Whoopi Goldberg, “The Revenant” with Leslie Jones and “The Martian” with Chris Rock.

The movie that won the most awards was “Mad Max: Fury Road.” It had 10 nominations and won six for Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Production Design, Makeup and Hairstyling, Film Editing and Costume Design.

Chris Rock hosted the 88th Academy Awards and opened with a scathing monologue addressing the show’s issue of all white nominees.

Alicia Vikander won best actress in a supporting role for her work in “The Danish Girl” while Mark Rylance won Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his work in “The Bridge of Spies.” Brie Larson won Best Actress in a Leading Role for her work in “Room.”

Finally, after 13 years and six nominations Leonardo DiCaprio won an Oscar for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his work in “The Revenant.” DiCaprio’s first nomination was in 1993 for Best Supporting Actor in “What’s Eating Gilbert Grape.” He was nominated again for the “Aviator,” “Blood Diamond,” twice for “The Wolf of Wall Street” and finally for “The Revenant.”

DiCaprio used his speech to thank everyone that he possibly could without taking too long. He then continued to talk about an issue that is very important to him.

DiCaprio took time in his speech to address climate change. “And lastly I just want to say this: Making ‘The Revenant’ was about man’s relationship to the natural world,” DiCaprio said. “A world that we collectively felt in 2015 as the hottest year in recorded history.”

Leonardo DiCaprio finally won an Oscar last night, much to the delight of fans everywehre.

If an app involves getting deals on food, it’s probably a fruitful selection.

Nobody likes to pay full price for things, especially when those things are temporary like pizza or snacks.

Hooked is a free mobile app available on iOS and Google Play that allows you to get discounts and deals on food, coffee and other tasty treats.

Nothing lasts forever, and that holds true with Hooked.

The deals offered through Hooked are only available for a brief period of time.

Usually, deals are only available for one to three hours, so acting fast is crucial. In order for deals to be visible, users must simply be in the area.

By allowing Hooked to get the user’s location, the deals are revealed with distance included.

Signing up is as easy as registering through Facebook or entering an email address.

Redeeming deals consists of showing the cashier or server your app with the deal, and you’re good to go.

Relatively new to the app world, Hooked is looking to build its market throughout college campuses across the United States. Hooked is designed for college students specifically because of the accessibility to fast-food restaurants and the importance of saving money. If there is an opportunity to save money, college students will jump on it immediately. And luckily, residents of the participating cities are able to reap the benefits as well.

Though Hooked was initially founded in 2011, it has tapped into quite a few college markets in 2016. WVU recently joined the Hooked market in 2016 along with seven other college cities.

The participating college

campuses include: Texas A&M, Arizona State, Colorado, Colorado State, Florida State, Indiana, Missouri, Michigan State, NC State, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, North Carolina, Texas, Wisconsin and Virginia Tech.

With the seven additions to the 22-campus market Hooked currently has, targeting other colleges is a main goal moving forward.

Though Hooked’s main beneficiary is college students, it presents a lucrative offer for local businesses looking to increase traffic.

And Morgantown certainly has a good variety of restaurants, particularly downtown, to connect with Hooked. Between students talking about offers amongst themselves and others checking the “Hook of the day,” its growth should not be an issue despite being new to West Virginia University.

Hooked was founded by Tim Rothwell and Brett Berman. Rothwell is a graduate of Stockholm University, and Berman is a graduate of UC Irvine. Both reside in Los Angeles.

It’s apparent Hooked is currently focusing its energy on larger schools because of the range of available restaurants. Hooked does partner with more than just chain restaurants. It also links with cafes, delis, local spots and pubs. Its versatility makes it a hot download on the market.

Currently, Hooked has a 4.5 star customer rating on Apple’s App Store with 260+ reviews for all versions of it. That speaks volumes to its success rate in the eyes of the critical young people downloading it. For more information, visit http://hookedapp.com. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Tuesday March 1, 2016

Scarborough strikes hard at Donald Trump NEW YORK (AP)‑MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, who lately has become a symbol of the media’s complicated relationship with Donald Trump, said Monday that the Republican’s remarks on David Duke are “disqualifying” and compel an apology.

The “Morning Joe” host, a former GOP congressman from Florida, referred to Trump’s Sunday interview on CNN about former Ku Klux Klan leader Duke’s support of Trump’s presidential candidacy.

Trump at first pleaded ignorance about Duke and groups he’s been involved in, then later said he disavowed Duke’s support.

“That’s disqualifying right there,” Scarborough said of the CNN interview. “It’s breathtaking ... Is he really so stupid that he thinks Southerners aren’t offended by the KKK?” Scarborough also penned a Washington Post column posted on Monday saying Trump’s “feigned ignorance” about Duke and the KKK raise disturbing questions about the Republican presidential front-runner.

A Trump spokeswoman noted that the candidate had disavowed Duke’s endorsement before and after Sunday’s interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, but had no comment on Scarborough’s remarks. Trump, on NBC’s “Today” show on Monday, blamed a “very bad earpiece” provided

by CNN for having trouble understanding precisely what Tapper had asked him.

Scarborough’s comments come after he and his show have faced criticism for being too friendly with Trump. The business mogul’s rise in the political polls has been accompanied by record ratings for events surrounding the GOP nomination campaign, giving networks the incentive to talk about the race as much as possible particularly with the candidate himself.

Trump has been interviewed on “Morn-

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough demands a public apology from Donald Trump following his remarks regarding David Duke. ing Joe” 32 times since the Republican announced his candidacy last summer, according to the liberal media watchdogs Media Matters for America. Many have been telephone interviews. Most television shows avoid phone interviews - they need pictures - but the interest in Trump and the ratings his appearances bring has led to that rule being bent by many.

In the months before primary or caucus voting began, Scarborough frequently disagreed with analysts who believed Trump’s initial strong showing in polls would evaporate. That was undoubtedly helpful to the Trump campaign, yet also

proved to be astute analysis for a daily program that traffics in three hours of political talk.

It was some offhand comments that embarrassed “Morning Joe.” The morning after Trump’s win in the New Hampshire primary, Trump said in an interview with Scarborough and cohost Mika Brzezinski that “you guys have been supporters and I really appreciate it.” He quickly clarified himself: “not necessarily supporters but at least believers.

You said there’s some potential there.”

Tapes leaked by radio host Harry Shearer, of conversations involving Scar-

borough, Brzezinski and Trump during commercial breaks in Trump’s Feb. 17 town hall meeting on MSNBC, revealed the type of banter between media figures and a candidate usually not seen when cameras are rolling.

In the off-air moments, both MSNBC hosts told Trump that they had been wrong in thinking Trump had performed poorly in a recent debate. When Brzezinski discussed with a network producer a potential subject for questions, Trump is heard saying, “nothing too hard, Mika.”

The hosts also thanked Trump for providing the network with an hour of primetime programming, and Trump joked, “I’m doing this because you get great ratings and a raise. Me, I get nothing.”

Frank Sesno, media and public affairs professor at George Washington University and a former CNN Washington bureau chief, said Scarborough “like so many on cable television and on talk radio, has been captivated by the Trump phenomenon. I would not say he’s been working for him.”

But the media figures must always remember that “part of their responsibility, part of the public trust, is also to bring scrutiny to the story and hold people accountable when they are running for president of the United States.”

Scarborough has fought back against any characterizations that he’s been too friendly to Trump, and noted in the Washington Post that he hung up on the candidate after a December on-air discussion about Trump wanting to block Muslims from entering the country grew too heated.

He said on “Morning Joe” that if Trump doesn’t apologize for how he handled questioning on Duke, “he’ll win in the short run, but he’ll get destroyed in the fall.”

Chris Rocks brings diversity issue to forefront at Oscars With deft timing and an impactful blend of humor and searing commentary, host Chris Rock took the bull by the horns at the Oscars, attacking the diversity crisis roiling the industry and not letting go all night long.

Rock didn’t merely acknowledge the elephant in the room.

From his first words to his farewell remarks, he brought it stage front and center, and kept it there.

“I counted at least 15 black people in that montage!” he said of the opening film clips.

He went on to call the Oscars the “White People’s Choice Awards,” and noted that if they had nominated potential hosts, “I wouldn’t have this job. You’d all be watching Neil Patrick Harris right now.”

He was referring, of course, to the fact that every acting nominee was white for the second year running, a development that led to the OscarsSoWhite backlash. It also led the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to announce sweeping changes meant to increase diversity in its membership - changes that the academy’s president, Cheryl Boone Isaacs, made reference to as she called on the industry to join in creating change.

“With opportunity comes responsibility,” Boone Isaacs said.

“It’s not enough to just listen and agree. We must take action.”

Rock, in some of his lighter comments, joked about the people who’d urged him to boycott the awards show.

“How come it’s only unemployed people that tell you to quit something?” he asked, and also cracked a few barbs at the expense of Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband Will Smith, who opted not to attend the show. Maybe it wasn’t fair that Smith hadn’t been nominated for best actor for “Concus-

sion,” he said, but it also wasn’t fair that he earned $20 million for “Wild Wild West.”

In some of his edgier remarks, Rock wondered why there hadn’t been protests back in the ‘60s, when surely there were years with no black nominees. “Why? Because we had real things to protest,” he said. “We were too busy being raped and lynched to care about who won best cinematographer.”

And he quipped that this year’s in-memoriam package was “just going to be black people shot by the cops on the way to the movies.”

Turning more philosophical, he asked: “Is Hollywood racist?

You’re damn right Hollywood is racist. But it’s not the racist you’ve grown accustomed to. Hollywood is sorority racist. It’s like, ‘We like you, Rhonda, but you’re not a Kappa.’” And he added: “We want opportunity. We want the black actors to get the same opportunities. Not just once. Leo (DiCaprio) gets a great part every year. All you guys get great parts all the time.”

The diversity issue wasn’t limited to Rock’s opening monologue.

In one of the best of several comic bits sprinkled through the show, actress Angela Bassett offered a “Black History Month Minute” paying tribute to a “black” actor the very white Jack Black.

In a joke montage, gags were inserted into some of this year’s movies. In one, Rock himself was an astronaut left up on Mars, a la Matt Damon in “The Martian.” But this time, Jeff Daniels and Kristen Wiig at NASA debated bringing him back and decided not to, since it would cost 2,500 “white dollars.”

And Rock did a taped bit outside a movie theater in Compton, California for what he called a “fresh perspective,” interviewing black moviegoers who said

vanityfair.com

Chris Rock hosts the 2016 Academy Awards. they’d never even heard of topnominated films like “Spotlight,” ‘’Brooklyn,” ‘’Trumbo” or “Bridge of Spies.” One man turned earnest, saying there was “so much talent out there of all races.”

Though Rock was clearly the evening’s chief spokesman on the issue, he wasn’t alone in addressing diversity onstage. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, winning the director prize for the second year running, issued a call to “our generation to really liberate ourselves from all prejudice and ... make sure for once and forever that the color of the skin becomes as irrelevant as the length of our hair.”

And actor Kevin Hart paid tribute to “all my actresses and actors of color who didn’t get nomi-

nated.” He said the problem would one day be solved. “Let’s not let this negative issue of diversity beat us,” he added.

Hollywood diversity was an issue outside the Dolby Theatre as well. Before the telecast, Rev. Al Sharpton addressed a group of several dozen protesters nearby.

He told the group he would organize larger protests if diversity complaints are not addressed.

“This will be the last night of an all-white Oscars,” Sharpton said.

In New York, some 20 protesters, most allied with Sharpton’s network, shouted “No justice, no peace” in front of police barricades in front of ABC’s New York studios.

All 20 actors nominated Sunday

were white. Sharpton criticized the Oscars for failing to nominate films such as “Straight Outta Compton,” ‘’Creed” or “Concussion” for any of its top honors.

As for Rock, he made clear that he thought one actor in particular had been snubbed: Michael B. Jordan for “Creed,” whom he introduced as a “shoulda-been nominee.”

And the host made sure, even after the final award was given to “Spotlight” for best picture, to bring the evening back to its designated theme.

“I’d like to invite everybody to the BET awards this summer,” he said before ending on a serious note: “Black lives matter.”

Clergy victims doubt ‘Spotlight’ Oscar win will bring change BOSTON (AP)‑ Victims of clergy sexual abuse are reveling in the Oscar won by “Spotlight” - the story of The Boston Globe’s investigation into the scandal - but say they don’t hold out much hope that the elevated status from the film’s Best Picture award will prompt changes at the highest levels of the Roman Catholic church.

“Spotlight,” starring Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams and Mark Ruffalo, covers the Globe’s work to uncover how dozens of priests in the Archdiocese of Boston had molested and raped children for decades while church higher-ups covered it up and shuffled abusive priests from parish to parish.

The film was released in November to accolades from victims who said it gave them a sense of validation after years of struggling in silence. Even Boston Cardinal Sean O’Malley - appointed to replace Cardinal Bernard Law after he resigned in disgrace - called “Spotlight” a “very powerful and important film.”

But victims say they have little hope that the film’s new status as an Oscar winner will lead to some of the things they’ve called for over the years, including complete transparency by the church and the criminal prosecution of church leaders who knew about the abuse but didn’t report the perpetrators to police.

“I don’t think the Vatican or the archdiocese will necessarily do more,” said Robert Costello, 54, who was sexually abused by a Boston priest from the late 1960s through 1976.

“I think what (the film) is going to do is educate the general public as to what their response or lack of response has been,” said Costello, who agreed to a civil settlement with the archdiocese.

The Globe series was followed by revelations of sex abuse in dioceses around the world. The series won the Pulitzer Prize for public service in 2003.

Alexa MacPherson, who was abused in a Boston parish for more than six years starting when she was 3, said she thinks it’s “wonderful” that “Spotlight” won the best picture award, but adds: “The Vatican has been talking the talk, but they haven’t been walking the walk.”

“We want to be able to prosecute people criminally for the crimes they committed and not have them hide behind the sanctity of the Vatican walls,” said MacPherson, who also received a civil settlement.

Walter Robinson, who led the Globe Spotlight Team that broke open the scandal in 2002, said he believes the film had already had a huge impact - on victims and the church itself - well before it received Oscar awards Sunday for best picture and best screenplay.

“We’re at a moment now where bishops around the world are praising the film ... signals that perhaps the church will become more serious about dealing with a problem that still continues,” said Robinson, played by Michael Keaton in the movie.

The renewed attention “Spotlight” is receiving comes as one of the highest ranking officials in the church, Vatican finance chief Cardinal George Pell, testifies this week in a public hearing of Australia’s Royal Commission investigating the church’s response to the abuse scandal there.

The Vatican newspaper on Monday praised the movie for giving voice to the “profound pain” of the faithful.

L’Osservatore quoted producer Michael Sugar’s acceptance speech - “Pope Francis, it’s time to protect children and restore the faith” - saying even his appeal was positive.

Vatican Radio also praised “Spotlight” as a “rigorous and authentic” reconstruction.

The reaction represents a dramatic shift by the Vatican from a decade ago, when the Vatican paper of record was a vehicle for ringing defenses of how the Holy See had responded.

Michael Keaton and Mark Ruffalo star in ‘Spotlight.’

collider.com

Boston attorney Mitchell Garabedian, who has represented more than 2,000 clergy sex abuse victims, said that since the movie’s release, he’s received calls from approximately 50 others.

“The range of victims coming forward now is anywhere from 25 to 80 years old,” Garabedian said. “The movie has given survivors a sense of self-esteem and self-respect that has been stolen from them and is now being returned.”

WVU Rifle members get prepared during a meet against NC State.

No. 1 WVU wins GARC again, looks to defend national title

BY CONNOR HICKS SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

It was a big weekend for the No. 1 West Virginia University rifle team. The team showed once again it is a force to be reckoned with as the NCAA Championships get closer.

The Mountaineers (120, 8-0 GARC) defended their Great American Rifle Conference championship in Oxford, Mississippi in the GARC Championships. The title makes seven straight conference championships for the nation’s top team.

The weekend was split into two days, with all teams shooting smallbore on Saturday and followed by air rifle on Sunday. After the first day, the regular

season champion Mountaineers had claimed the smallbore title, along with four of the top eight individual smallbore scores in the conference.

The Mountaine ers’ 2,335 in smallbore was 21 points ahead of the next best, No. 2 Kentucky. Four Mountaineers shot toward the team’s score, with freshman Ginny Thrasher placing highest in the conference to win the GARC individual smallbore title. Thrasher is the fifth Mountaineer to win the conference smallbore title, and the first since Petra Zublasing in 2013.

“Ginny (Thrasher) had a great performance today overall,” said coach Jon Hammond in an interview with WVUsports. com. “She continues to

improve, and she was really consistent throughout the finals. She obviously had another really good day to shoot yet another personal best.”

Alongside Thrasher, Will Anti shot a careerbest 590 while JeanPierre Lucas and Garrett Spurgeon shot a 583 and 582, respectively. All four placed among the top eight individual scores in the conference.

The Mountaineers sat atop the standings as day two began, holding a 21 point lead over No. 2 Kentucky, with the rest of the field separated by just 31 points. A 2,367 score earned the Mountaineers first again, winning the air rifle discipline title and confirming an overall GARC-best 11th cham-

pionship with a 4,702 aggregate.

Thrasher and Lucas were two of the eight finalists to shoot for the GARC individual air rifle title.

Thrasher nearly captured her second individual title of the weekend, shooting a 596 to place second in the conference.

Lucas took sixth, shooting a 593. Thrasher’s aggregate 1,187 was the best individual total for the weekend.

“Ginny (Thrasher) had a fantastic weekend. She led the way in smallbore and air rifle, and she performed great in both finals,” Hammond said. “Today wasn’t our strongest performance overall, but Ginny and (Lucas) came through with solid efforts.”

It is worth noting the

Mountaineers won the GARC title this weekend without two of their top shooters. Seniors Michael Bamsey and Meelis Kiisk shot alongside former Mountaineer Ziva Dvorsak in the 2016 European Championship this weekend in Gyor, Hungary.

Bamsey finished 60th in the men’s 10m air rifle competition and Kiisk placed 46th. Dvorsak advanced to the finals and finished eighth overall for the women. Both Bamsey and Dvorsak shot high enough to qualify for their national teams of Wales and Slovenia, respectively.

No. 2 Kentucky finished second with a 4,677 and No. 10 North Carolina State took third, shooting a 4,651. Kentucky, along with GARC opponent Ne-

braska, will shoot alongside the Mountaineers in the NCAA championship in Akron, Ohio.

The No. 1 Mountaineers will have two weeks to prepare for a shot at a fourthconsecutive national title, which will take place March 11-12 at the Stile Athletics Field House in Akron, Ohio. They’re looking to capture their 18th national title.

“We have to work on a few things,” said Hammond. “We have to stay focused and we have to keep doing the same things we have been doing… In these next two weeks, we have to get as much physical and mental rest as possible in order to be ready for the NCAA Championships.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Holmes, WVU look to close out regular season with road win

By Roger Turner Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

The West Virginia University women’s basketball team will close out the 2015-16 regular season tonight in Ames, Iowa against the Iowa State Cyclones, a rematch between the two Big 12 programs that faced off only two weeks ago in Morgantown.

Back in the top 25, the No. 22 West Virginia women’s basketball team put together one of the best offensive performances of the season in its 82-48 win over Oklahoma State.

Following a memorable Senior Night for WVU seniors and the team’s scoring leader, Bria Holmes, the West Virginia women’s team shifts its focus to closing out the season with its third consecutive conference win.

On Saturday, the Mountaineers eased by No. 22 Oklahoma State 82-48 at the WVU Coliseum to surpass the Cowgirls and secure third place in the Big 12 conference standings.

Overlooked and inexperienced coming into the regular season, West Virginia is currently 22-8 and 11-6 in one of the nation’s power five conferences.

“This will be their (Iowa State) last home game, so I am sure it will be a special night for them,” said WVU

head coach Mike Carey.

“We need to go in there and play well.”

When the Mountaineers last met the Cyclones in Morgantown on Feb. 10, WVU Senior CLASS Award Finalist, Bria Holmes, led the Mountaineers to a 57-47 win with 23 points. Holmes has been on a tear over the past two games, scoring 27 points versus Oklahoma State and 30 in the Mountaineers’ comeback victory over TCU last week. In Saturday’s contest, Holmes reached the 500-point mark for the third consecutive season, making her the only West Virginia women’s basketball player to ever accomplish the feat.

A deep supporting cast on this year’s Mountaineer women’s basketball team surround Holmes. In the Mountaineers’ previous matchup versus Iowa State, Arielle Roberson and Lanay Montgomery maintained a presence in the paint and on the boards for WVU. Roberson tied her careerhigh in rebounds (17) as WVU outrebounded Iowa State 51-33 in the last meeting. Montgomery proved to be a force for the Mountaineers against the Cyclones.

The senior from Pittsburgh posted 15 points and 15 rebounds, recording her sixth double-double of the year and ninth of her career.

WVU senior Bria Holmes smiles with teammates and coaches during a Feb. win over TCU. squad struggling in conference play this season. The Cyclones have captured only five conference wins this year and have gone 1-6 over the last seven games.

Iowa State guard Seanna Johnson leads the team in scoring with 16.5 points

per game and registered a team-high 19 points the last time the Cyclones met the Mountaineers. Iowa State currently rests at the bottom of the Big 12 standings in eighth place with an overall record of 13-15, but it holds a 9-5 mark at home.

“There will probably be 6,000 or 8,000 people there,” Carey said. “Whether they have a good season or bad season, they pack it every night no matter who they are playing. “ A win in Ames clinches the No. 3 seed in the Phil-

WVU, Texas continue recent climbs up Big 12 power rankings

Jaysean Paige drives to the hoop in a February matchup against Iowa State.

By Chris Jackson

Associate Sports Editor @CJacksonWVU

1. Kansas (25-4, 13-3) The Jayhawks clinched their 12th straight Big 12 regular season title and moved to No. 1 in the latest AP Poll, showing the conference still runs through Lawrence, Kansas despite the amount of parity there might be. Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk scored a team-high 17 points off the bench in Saturday’s 67-58 victory over Texas Tech to clinch the crown.

2. Oklahoma (22-6, 10-6) Buddy Hield and Oklahoma were once the nation’s top team, but they’ve won just two of their last five games. A recent 7663 loss to Texas in the Red

River dropped the Sooners down to third place as they allowed a 25-5 run to end the contest. Besides Buddy Hield’s 33 points, Jordan Woodard was the only Sooner to score in doublefigures (15). The bench tallied four points in the loss, all scored by Dante Buford.

3. West Virginia (22-7, 11-5) Bench play keeps paving the way for Bob Huggins and the No. 10 Mountaineers. After Jaysean Paige’s career-high 34 points off the bench set a school record for reserves, he followed it up with a team-high 17-point effort in Saturday’s 70-56 victory over Oklahoma State.

Devin Williams also added his Big 12-best 13th double-double of the season, jumping into sole pos-

session of second place.

However, the Mountaineers went 1-3 against Kansas and Oklahoma, including a sweep to the Sooners.

4. Texas (19-10, 10-6) With a 25-5 run to end the game, Isaiah Taylor and the Longhorns ended a Red River Rivalry drought dating back to 2013. Taylor had 18 points and five assists in the 76-63 victory over then No. 3 Oklahoma on Saturday. Connor Lammert also added four threes, finishing with 14 points and eight rebounds as they held a 43-31 advantage on the boards.

5. Baylor (21-8, 10-6) Baylor has now won three of four, including wins over two ranked opponents during that span.

Its only loss came to Big 12 champion Kansas, 66-60.

Taurean Prince and Jonathan Motley each scored 22 points and combined for 17 rebounds as Baylor outrebounded TCU 45-21 in Saturday’s 86-71 victory.

6. Iowa State (20-9, 9-7) After the Cyclones allowed 34 points to Jaysean Paige and 69 points to the WVU bench in last Monday’s defeat in Morgantown, they bounced back with a decisive 8061 win over Kansas State.

Matt Thomas led the way with 20 points and Georges Niang added 17 in the victory. Jameel McKay had a double-double with 14 points and 17 rebounds.

Iowa State has now won 20 games in five consecutive seasons.

7. Texas Tech (18-10, 8-8) Tubby Smith’s team’s

five-game winning streak came to a halt as it struggled as many do in Phog Allen Fieldhouse, dropping a 67-58 contest to No. 2 Kansas.

A win over the last week, a week that features No. 14 West Virginia and Kansas State, would nearly guarantee the program its first NCAA Tournament berth since 2007.

8. Kansas State (15-14, 4-12) Despite losing three straight and five of its last six, four losses have come to ranked opponents. Justin Edwards’ 20 points nearly led to an upset over then No. 25 Texas last week in the 71-70 defeat.

9. Oklahoma State (1217, 3-13) There’s little you can do when two of your top

players are out for the remainder of the season. The bench was outscored 35-18 in Saturday’s 70-56 loss to then-No. 14 West Virginia.

But Tavarius Shine’s four early threes put the Cowboys up 24-16 early as they were looking to pull off another stunner in Stillwater.

10. TCU (11-18, 2-14) The Horned Frogs haven’t won since Feb. 8, a 63-56 victory over an injury-depleted Oklahoma State squad. They’ve lost five straight since, but three of the defeats have come to the hands of ranked teams.

ally enjoyable four years of their life.”

West Virginia started right-handed reliever Brandon Boone on the mound in the seven-inning exhibition. Boone was immediately tasked with facing a Diamondbacks lineup featuring seven players with Major League experience, including two former AllStars: shortstop Jean Segura and one of the big leagues’ most feared power hitters, first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, who finished second in the National League Most Valuable Player voting last season after hitting .321 with 33 home runs and

110 RBI. But it was the Mountaineers who got the first shot in the top of the first, when sophomore left fielder Caleb Potter drove in freshman Cole Austin with a single to left off minor league right-hander Yoan Lopez.

The Diamondbacks rallied for three in the bottom of the first off Boone, giving them a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Shortly after he was named Big 12 Player of the Week for a .636 performance in WVU’s weekend sweep of UNLV, senior centerfielder KC Huth scored to make it 6-3.

The Mo u nt a i n e e r s

earned their final run when freshman Marques Inman doubled in fellow freshman Kyle Gray, bringing the game to its final score of 7-4.

The game was attended

by West Virginia University athletic director Shane Lyons, along with Diamondbacks owner Ken Kendrick, a Princeton, West Virginia native who graduated from WVU in 1965.

Kendrick was in Morgantown last week, where he spoke at the unveiling of Mountaineer basketball legend Hot Rod Hundley’s statue outside the WVU Coliseum. Hundley was

one of Kendrick’s childhood heroes, and Kendrick was instrumental in getting Hundley permanently honored at the arena.

West Virginia will follow up its trip to Arizona with a four-game series at Hawaii starting Thursday night. The Mountaineers go into the series riding a five-game winning streak after taking two of three at Charleston Southern and sweeping UNLV – the Rainbow Warriors are 4-5, having taken two of three from San Francisco on the road last weekend. djstatman@mail.wvu.edu

AP Poll: Kansas is 1st team this year to return to No. 1 ranking Kansas is No. 1 for a second time this season (AP) -- the first school to reach the top for a second stint.

The Jayhawks have been No. 1 for three weeks this season, the first two in January.

Michigan State was No. 1 for four weeks, while Kansas, Oklahoma and Villanova were all there for three weeks.

North Carolina and Kentucky both spent two weeks at the top.

The six schools to reach No. 1 is one off the record set in 1982-83.

--TIME ON TOP: This is Kansas’ 60th poll as No. 1. The Jayhawks are fifth on the all-time list behind UCLA (134), Duke (127), Kentucky (115) and North Carolina (113).

Sixth on the list is Indiana with 54 weeks.

--TOUGH WEEK FOR TOP TEN: The top 10 in last week’s poll lost a total of 10 games from Monday to Sunday, while the bottom 15 lost just six.

--BACK AGAIN: California (21-8) returns to the Top 25 on a sevengame winning streak, and only one of those victories was by less than double figures.

The 25th-ranked Bears were 14th in the preseason poll and then were 15th and 14th the first two weeks of the season before dropping out until this week.

--OUT AGAIN: Notre Dame (19-9) was the only

team to fall from the ranks of the ranked this week.

The Fighting Irish were 23rd but split two games last week, beating Wake Forest and losing 77-56 to Florida State.

Notre Dame, which was 19th in the preseason poll, was ranked for a total of six weeks, including the last two.

--UP AND DOWN: Utah, which beat Arizona State and Arizona last week, made the biggest jump in the poll, moving from 22nd to No. 13.

Indiana, which beat Illinois in its only game, rose from No. 18 to 12th.

The biggest drops were Arizona’s fall from No. 9 to 18th after losing to Colorado and Utah, and Iowa’s drop from No. 8 to 16th after dropping games to Wisconsin and Ohio State.

--CONFERENCE CALL: The Big 12 is on top by itself again with six ranked teams.

It overtook the Atlantic Coast Conference, with Notre Dame dropping out of the Top 25.

The ACC is tied at five with the Big Ten while the Pac-12, with the addition of California this week, has four.

The Big East and Southeastern Conference both have two and the American Athletic Conference one.

Warriors’ Draymond Green apologizes for halftime outburst OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -Draymond Green’s emotion and passion are what make him so valuable on the court for the Golden State Warriors, yet he acknowledges he took it too far this time.

The Golden State power forward apologized to his teammates, coaches and the organization for an emotional outburst during halftime of the Warriors’ 121-118 overtime victory Saturday at Oklahoma City.

“I admit my mistakes. I made a mistake. I admitted my mistakes to my teammates, my coaching staff,” Green said after practice Monday. “I apologized to my teammates and my coaching staff, this organization. That wasn’t the right way to handle what needed to be handled. As a leader of this team, I can’t do that because it sets a bad precedent how everything is ran around here, how everything should be ran, how everything has been ran and how everything will run going forward. It won’t happen again. It’s something where my emotions kind of got ahead of me and I let my emotions get the best of me.”

After playing only two games at home in Febru-

ary, the Warriors (53-5) returned to the Bay Area and will have 17 of their final 24 games at Oracle Arena.

They are 24-0 at home, riding a 42-game regular-season winning streak at Oracle overall, and chasing the Chicago Bulls’ record of 72 wins from 1995-96.

Coach Steve Kerr expects the scrutiny at this stage.

“This is the way life is these days. There’s 24hour sports talk shows on the radio, on TV, and we’re in the spotlight because of our record,” Kerr said. “It doesn’t bother us that everyone’s talking about it. We know it was handled internally.

We all love each other and we’re good. ... You guys all know how emotional he is. That’s one of the things that makes him great, is his passion and his intensity. I think we’re doing OK. We won the championship last year, what’s our record now, 53-5? I think his emotion is good for us.

“At times it bubbles over but for anybody to say, ‘Oh no, we should look out, what’s coming next?’

Come on.”

Green also shot down reports that he threatened not to return for the second half against the Thunder, who watched Stephen

Curry hit a long 3-pointer for the game-winner with .6 seconds left in overtime.

“I would never quit on my teammates as some have reported,” Green said. “I would never quit on my coaching staff, I would never quit on this organization. This organization has given me everything I could ask for. I support and represent this organization to the best of my ability. That’s not who I am, that’s not who I’ve been and that’s not who I will become.”

Green leads the NBA with 11 triple-doubles. He responded - he said he was still mad - after his halftime debacle, finishing with 14 rebounds, 14 assists, six steals and two points against the Thunder.

“I felt I owed it to my team to give it everything I have,” Green said. “I know when you’re in the midst of a great season, people are going to latch onto certain stuff to try to tear it down.

We’re moving forward.”

Reigning MVP Curry, questionable for Tuesday’s game against Atlanta with a tender left ankle that he played through Saturday, said it is Green’s emotional personality that makes him so valuable.

“We know he’ll never quit, he’ll never do any-

Draymond Green recently apologized for a halftime outburst against the Thunder on Saturday. thing to put our production on the floor in jeopardy,” Curry said. “He’s invested in what we’re doing. Obviously he’s an emotional guy, a fiery guy.

That’s what we love about him, what he brings to the court. It spilled over to the locker room but I’ve been in this league a long time, that wasn’t the first time it’s happened. The way we were able to respond was

a testament to our team and him as an individual to understand it probably shouldn’t have happened.

We came out and stayed united.”

Curry has three straight 40-point games and was named Western Conference Player of the Week on Monday for his fourth such honor this season - the first in franchise history to win four in one season.

ESPN

He averaged 43.8 points, 7.3 assists, 5.8 rebounds and 1.50 steals as the Warriors went 4-0.

Curry’s ankle was worse Sunday and he didn’t practice Monday so he could receive treatment.

“If I’m good enough to play and not put myself in jeopardy of making this thing nag me for two weeks, three weeks, I’ll play,” he said.

Unconcerned with critics, Harbaugh and Michigan bask in Florida sun BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) -Jim Harbaugh basked in the sun Monday, spending six hours on the practice field with his Michigan Wolverines.

“It just flew by,” the coach said.

Then the players hit the beach.

Back home in Ann Arbor, Michigan, it was cloudy and gray, temperatures were in the 40s and the locals were preparing for snow.

Michigan held the first of four scheduled practices Monday at the IMG Academy under a blue sky with feathery clouds that provided pleasant cover from the sun. The players worked out for four hours in 70-degree temperatures, with about half the team going from 8 a.m. to noon and the rest working from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Wolverines’ trip is the latest way Harbaugh is drawing attention for Michigan while tweaking some opponents. Last year it was an extensive tour of the south, holding satellite camps for prospects on the

campuses of high schools and colleges. This year Harbaugh turned signing day into an extravaganza, starring Tom Brady and Derek Jeter.

The spring trip has drawn criticism from Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey and Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford because it falls during spring break, when players usually have off. NCAA is in the process of trying to find ways to give college athletes more time away from their sports.

“It can certainly be asserted that it’s inconsistent with some of the conversations about time demands,” Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby, who is also the chairman of the new NCAA football oversight committee, said recently about Michigan’s week in Florida. “Right now there’s no rule that prohibits that. My guess is there will be a lot of conversation about it in the coming months.”

Is Harbaugh concerned about the backlash? “No

... You got your headline now?”

The coach also does not get all the fuss about the Wolverines being snowbirds while school is on break.

“I don’t know why,” he said. “Our tennis team will be hitting balls here next week.”

IMG Academy is a boarding school that trains elite athletes from all over the country, including football players. The IMG football team has 20 players who last week were offered scholarships by Tennessee.

Michigan cannot recruit while on campus. The Wolverines are using IMG’s field house as their headquarters this week. The building is used by several IMG teams, but football cleared out to make room for Michigan- and to ensure no inadvertent impermissible contact is made.

“I don’t know that there is one,” Harbaugh said when asked about the possible recruiting advantages of the trip.

Rio’s challenges, doping in Russia, Kenya top IOC agenda LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — With five months to go until the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, the challenges keep piling up.

From the Zika outbreak to severe water pollution, from behind-schedule venues to delayed metro lines, from sluggish ticket sales to cuts in services, from Brazil’s deep financial crisis to impeachment proceedings against its president, the buildup to South America’s first games faces a long list of concerns.

Rio’s final preparations and the status of anti-doping efforts in Russia and Kenya will top the agenda when the International Olympic Committee executive board holds a three-day meeting starting Tuesday in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The board is also expected to discuss progress in identifying refugee athletes who will compete under the IOC flag in Rio, the proposed formation of an independent agency to take over drugtesting for all sports, and plans for the Court of Arbitration for Sport to handle doping sanctions.

With next Saturday marking the five-month countdown to the Aug. 5 opening ceremony at the Maracana Stadium, Brazilian organizers are tackling issues on several fronts. Carlos Nuzman, head of the Rio organizing committee, will give his latest update to the IOC board on Wednesday.

Rio is preparing for the games at a time when Brazil is mired in its worst recession since the 1930s, President Dilma Rousseff is fighting impeachment and the country is dealing with a vast corruption scandal centered on state-controlled oiland-gas giant Petrobras.

If that weren’t enough, Brazil is now at the epicenter of the spread of Zika, the mosquito-borne virus that has been linked to a rise in cases of babies born with

da Tijuca, where the main Olympic Park is located. The IOC has expressed confidence the 10.3 billion Brazilian real ($2 billion) project will be completed in time.

- Rio’s drug-testing laboratory has until March 18 to meet World Anti-Doping Agency’s guidelines.

If it fails, the lab would be declared non-compliant, meaning thousands of doping samples during the games would have to be sent out of Brazil for testing, raising major logistical and financial challenges.

- Athletes remain concerned about pollution in the waterways that will host Olympic competitions. On Saturday, activists staged a symbolic burial of the Guanabara Bay, the sewagefilled waters where sailing will be held. Last week, the local O Globo daily ran a

photo of what appeared to be a severed arm floating in the bay.

- Ticket sales have been disappointing, with only about half of the 4.5 million domestic tickets sold as of early this year. The numbers are much worse for the Paralympics, with only 10 percent sold of 3 million tickets.

Also, WADA President Craig Reedie will report to the IOC board on efforts by Russia and Kenya to become compliant with the agency’s anti-doping code, as track and field athletes from both nations risk missing the Rio Games.

The IAAF suspended Russia from global competition in November following a WADA commission report that detailed a vast system of state-sponsored doping and cover-ups. WADA declared Russia’s anti-doping agency

non-compliant.

The IAAF says Russia must reform and meet a series of conditions in order to be readmitted. A new Russian anti-doping agency and lab must also be formed and accredited by WADA. Whether Russian track athletes will be reinstated in time for Rio remains uncertain.

Kenya has until April 5 to meet WADA requirements or face being declared noncompliant, a step toward a possible ban from the Olympics for its track and field athletes.

More than 40 Kenyan athletes have failed drug tests since 2012, and four high-ranking national federation officials are under investigation for doping cover-ups and other alleged wrongdoing.

Big names stay put as 2016 NHL Trade Deadline passes by

CBS Sports

Boston Bruins forward Loui Erikkson skates past Buffalo Sabres defenders earlier this season.

Loui Eriksson is still with Boston. Dan Hamhuis is still a Canuck. And Jonathan Drouin is still on the roster of the Tampa Bay Lightning after the NHL’s trade deadline came and went Monday.

The league said there were 19 trades involving 37 players completed on Monday. That’s lower than last year’s numbers of 24 trades and 43 players, but it marked the 15th straight deadline day in which at least 30 players were dealt.

There were a few splashes made, mostly in the Western Conference by teams including Anaheim and Colorado as the afternoon deadline arrived.

Avalanche general manager Joe Sakic delivered on his intent to provide Colorado’s playoff run one more push. And Dallas added defensive depth by landing nine-year veteran Kris Russell in a trade with Calgary in exchange for defensemen Jyrki Jokipakka and

Brett Pollock and a conditional second-round draft pick. Russell has 174 shot blocks in just 51 games this season.

But the day was largely notable for the names who didn’t move.

Selected third overall in the 2013 draft, Drouin’s future with the Lightning remains uncertain after his agent went public with his client’s trade demands in December. Drouin was unhappy over being demoted to the minors and has since left the AHL Syracuse Crunch to work out on his own in Montreal.

Boston acquired playmaking forward Lee Stempniak from New Jersey and veteran defenseman John Michael Liles from Carolina. But the Bruins stood pat on Eriksson, who was a candidate to be traded because his contract expires this offseason.

“If you look around the league, I don’t think any

team current in a playoff position traded a player of Loui’s magnitude,” Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said. “I think one first-rounder was exchanged. The deal had to be right.”

Pittsburgh general manager Jim Rutherford said the asking prices were too high for some players he had identified, and Arizona GM Don Maloney said the uncertainty over how much the salary cap will grow this summer was a factor in preventing some teams from making trades.

Washington Capitals GM Brian MacLellan expressed disappointment he was unable to make an additional move.

“It seemed to be a little bit quieter today than I expected it to be, so there’s a little frustration,” MacLellan said. “But still, I’m comfortable with where we’re at as a team.”

The league-leading Cap-

itals had already addressed their depth by acquiring forward Daniel Winnik from Toronto on Sunday, and adding defenseman Mike Weber from Buffalo last week. The East rival New York Rangers acquired Hurricanes captain Eric Staal in exchange for Finnish prospect Aleksi Saarela and a pair of second-round draft picks over the weekend.

In the West, Sakic completed three trades in which he added a top-line forward in Arizona’s Mikkel Boedker and filled out his defensive depth in acquiring New Jersey’s Eric Gelinas. The Avalanche have missed the postseason four of the past five seasons and currently hold down the West’s eighth and final playoff spot.

“We expect to make the playoffs,” Sakic said. “That’s what these moves are for, trying to help your team get better.”

Avalanche captain Ga-

briel Landeskog appreciated the support management provided.

“It sends a message to everybody in here that they’re willing up top to give us the best chance possible to go deep in the playoffs,” Landeskog said.

Boedker is an eight-year veteran who adds scoring punch. His 39 points (13 goals, 26 assists) ranked third on Arizona. Gelinas is a hard-shooting third-year defenseman who provides Colorado depth on the blue line.

In exchange, the Avalanche traded veteran forward Alex Tanguay and two prospects, forward Connor Bleackley and defenseman Kyle Wood, who were both selected in the 2014 draft.

For Gelinas, Colorado sent the Devils a third-round pick in the 2017 draft.

Anaheim made a few splashes in acquiring twoway forward Jamie McGinn from Buffalo and defense-

man Brandon Pirri from Florida.

The defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks were quiet Monday, but they had already acquired Winnipeg forward Andrew Ladd in exchange for rookie forward Marko Dano and a firstround pick in this year’s draft.

Far below them in the standings, the Coyotes said trading Boedker shouldn’t be seen as a sign Arizona is pulling the plug on its season.

“We’re not throwing in the towel in,” Maloney said.

“We’ve got some home games coming up, so let’s start winning our games and crawl our way back into the playoff hunt.”

The Coyotes also acquired winger Sergei Plotnikov from Pittsburgh in exchange for prospect Matthias Plachta and a conditional seventh-round pick in 2017.

Tom Brady and the Patriots are coming off a loss in the AFC Championship.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

(AP) — Tom Brady reportedly has agreed to a twoyear contract extension with the New England Patriots.

The deal will significantly lessen Brady’s salary cap hit for 2016, which would have been about $15 million. He was due to make $9 million next season, plus a $6 million bonus, and $10 million in salary in 2017.

Brady, 38, has often redone his contract to help the Patriots’ cap situation.

The four-time Super Bowl champion has said he plans to play well into his 40s. The extension would allow him to do so in New England.

The agreement was first reported by ESPN. Brady also renegotiated his contract in 2013 to help reduce cap hits. New England was $13.6 million under the 2016 cap of $155.27 million before extending Brady.

Brady, of course, is an all-time great who could wind up the NFL’s leader

ESPN

in many career passing categories. He’s been to six Super Bowls and 10 AFC title games, including the last five.

Some would say he is underpaid for the position given the championship pedigree and his two league MVP awards to go with three Super Bowl MVPs. In 2015, his cap hit of $14 million ranked 14th in the league, behind the likes of Colin Kaepernick and Jay Cutler. He might not rank even that high in 2016.

Doggone air rifles Documentary, album explore Loretta Lynn’s Appalachian roots

Salma Hayek’s dog was killed recently.

SEATTLE (AP) — Salma Hayek’s neighbor fired an air rifle toward a dog that had come into his garage and fought with his dogs, apparently unaware that he had struck and killed the actress’ dog, authorities in Washington state said Monday.

The Thurston County Sheriff ’s Office ruled the shooting justified but will send the case to prosecutors for review, said spokesman Lt. Cliff Ziesemer. The office has been investigating after Hayek’s dog was found shot on her ranch on Feb. 19 south of Yelm, about 70 miles south of Seattle.

Kim Lund, the actress’ neighbor, told The Associated Press her husband had not intended to kill the dog.

“We didn’t even know we hit the dog,” she said Monday, adding that her husband held up the pellet gun and shot it to scare the dogs away. She said one of the dogs was on top of her dog at the time.

Ziesemer said Monday that a neighbor told a deputy he was inside his house when he heard what sounded like a dog fight in his garage. The neighbor says he fired one shot from an air rifle and the other two dogs ran off.

Lund said she and her husband were inside their home watching TV when they heard a ruckus in their garage. She said Hayek’s dogs often come over to her property and chase her dogs.

“I’m still coming to terms with all of this, as you can imagine,” Lund said. “We didn’t even know we killed a dog. To find out we killed

a dog that belonged to a high profile person, I’m in shock.”

Hayek posted on Instagram Friday that she was mourning the death of her 9-year-old dog named Mozart and hoped authorities would find justice. The 49-year-old actress, who was nominated for an Academy Award for her starring role in the 2002 film “Frida,” said her dog was a loving and loyal companion and didn’t deserve a slow and painful death.

A veterinarian later determined a lead pellet nicked an artery and caused the dog, a Belgian Malinois, to internally bled out, Ziesemer said.

A caretaker was watching Hayek’s dogs on the property at the time. The caretaker told deputies she went for a horseback ride with a few dogs. At the end of the road, the dogs took off running toward the sound of other dogs at an adjacent property, Ziesemer said.

Later, the caretaker realized one of the dogs had not returned. She searched and found him dead on a trail.

Lund, who has five dogs of her own and other animals, said she was heartbroken to learn that the actress’ dog had died. “My heart is broken. I’m really sorry that the dog died,” she said.

The deputy determined that it was justified under Washington state law, since the dog had been inside the garage and was harassing their animals, the sheriff’s spokesman said.

A message left with Hayek’s publicist was not immediately returned.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — When Loretta Lynn was growing up in Butcher Hollow in Kentucky in 1930s, her home in the coal mining community was always filled with music, either from her own voice echoing through the trees or the sound of the Carter Family’s songs.

The country icon’s Appalachian musical roots are explored on a new “American Masters” documentary on PBS as well as her first new studio album in a more than a decade, “Full Circle,” both debuting Friday.

Lynn, who was the second of eight children in her family, said her daddy played the banjo and her mama played the guitar and nearly everyone in the “holler,” as she pronounces it, could sing or play as well.

“I was singing when I was born, I think,” said the 83-year-old singer during an interview in Nashville, where she was taping a new music video with Willie Nelson. “Daddy used to come out on the porch where I would be singing and rocking the babies to sleep. He’d say, ‘Loretta, shut that big mouth. People all over this holler can hear you.’ And I said, ‘Daddy, what difference does it make? They are all my cousins.’”

The documentary, “Loretta Lynn: Still a Mountain Girl,” chronicles Lynn’s remarkable rise from a “Coal Miner’s Daughter” to a country superstar who wrote frank songs about her upbringing and her experiences as a wife and mother.

Although her rags-toriches story is already well known thanks to a bestselling autobiography and Oscar-winning film starring Sissy Spacek, Lynn has never before recorded many of the Appalachian songs that inspired her career. Her last album, “Van Lear Rose,” produced by rocker Jack White, earned

Country musician Loretta Lynn is releasing a new album, titled ‘Full Circle’ this Friday. her two Grammys in 2005.

“Some of them were songs I sang when I was just a little girl,” Lynn said. “I didn’t dream any of them would get on this album.”

It was fitting then that producer John Carter Cash, the son of June Carter and Johnny Cash, helped her revisit some of these songs, including a couple of Carter Family standards, “Black Jack David,” and “I Never Will Marry.”

The Carters were a musical dynasty from just over the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia - lead by A.P. Carter, his wife, Sara, and his sister-in-law Maybelle - who wrote legendary songs like “Keep on the Sunny Side,” ‘’Wildwood Flower” and “Will the Circle Be Unbroken.”

“The Carter Family was the first songs I ever heard,” Lynn recalled. “I was just 2 or 3 years old, maybe a little older. But I remember climbing up on Daddy’s leg and Daddy was playing the old Victrola and playing Carter Family records.”

Cash, who is the grandson of Maybelle Carter, said recording with Lynn at his Cash Cabin studio in Hendersonville, Tennessee, felt like a family project. They have recorded over 100 songs, some of which will be released on subsequent albums on the Sony Legacy label.

“There was just an immediate magic in the studio together,” Cash said.

“To me, it was a lot like working with my mom again. Loretta’s sense of humor, her creative drive and just the very nature of her being felt like home.”

She also recorded another song from her childhood, “In the Pines,” an Appalachian folk traditional dating back to the 1870s that has been sung by everyone from Bill Monroe to Lead Belly. Over a simple guitar and banjo tracks, Lynn’s steady vocals evoke that high lonesome sound of the mountains.

The album starts with the very first song she ever wrote, “Whispering Sea,” which was the b-side to

epiphone.com

her first recording, “I’m a Honky Tonk Girl,” released in 1960. Also included is a new version of “Fist City,” a fiery threat to punch any woman who dared to fool around with her man.

Lynn made her name on songs like “You Ain’t Woman Enough” and “Don’t Come Home A’Drinkin’” that were gritty and realistic and sometimes based on her own difficult marriage to Oliver “Doolittle” Lynn. But she said she never wrote songs just to be controversial.

“It was what I wanted to hear and what I knew other women wanted to hear, too,” Lynn said. “I didn’t write for the men; I wrote for us women. And the men loved it, too.”

“Full Circle” also features guest vocals from Nelson and Elvis Costello and new songs including the particularly poignant “Who’s Gonna Miss Me?” Lynn still tours regularly and insists she’s not thinking about retirement.

“But who is going to miss me when I do?” she asks.
