Students pile into the Coliseum Sunday afternoon in preparation for the New Student Welcome ceremony.

Incoming students gathered in the Coliseum for the New Student Welcome event Sunday. Provost Joyce McConnell welcomed students to West Virginia University, then introduced WVU alumna Emily Calandrelli. Calandrelli shared advice with students on how to make the best of their four years at WVU. She spoke about her personal experience and encouraged them to get involved by joining clubs, talking to strangers and studying abroad. President E. Gordon Gee followed Calandrelli and assured students they had made the right choice by choosing WVU. “I promise you, you’re going to love this institution in every possible way,” Gee said. Gee gave the students a list of the top-10 pieces

of advice he has compiled throughout the years. • Be thrifty with your finances. • Utilize our online DegreeWorks program. • Spend time getting to know everyone. •Stay active. •Follow me on Instagram. • Feel free to walk up to folks and randomly introduce yourself. • Take advantage of the events on campus. • Leave at least 30 minutes to get from Evansdale to Downtown. • Do not be afraid - take risks. • Be yourself. Gee encouraged students to grow as a person, try new things and meet new people. “You will not fulfill your duties as a college student if you do not expand your boundaries,” Gee said. Gee told students to enjoy their four years in Morgantown, but to not forget the ultimate goal of receiv-

ing a diploma. “Work hard, play hard this is West Virginia University,” Gee said. Gee also took a selfie on stage with the Class of 2018 in the background. Student Body President Chris Nyden advised the students to step out of their shell. “One thing about the next four years is clear. You’re going to have the time of your life,” Nyden said. “Most importantly, you get the opportunity to truly pursue your dreams.” Nyden reminded students they’re going to be faced with a lot of decisions, and said it is OK to make mistakes. “You’ve already made the best possible decision by coming to WVU,” he said. “You could not have chosen a better place to begin your journey to success.” Nyden advised freshmen to reach out to each other because they’re in it together. He also told them

to go to class and not take graduation for granted. “These are four years you will never get back again, and you should cherish them,” Nyden said. Nyden then welcomed new Mountaineer Mascot, Michael Garcia, onto the stage to teach the incoming class the various University cheers. The event ended with the students joining arms and singing “Take me Home, Country Roads.” Francesca Folio, a freshman nursing student, said she thought the event was interesting. She said it helped calm her nerves about the new school year. “It got me really excited about my freshman year because I was a little nervous,” Folio said. “It

Students move in to campus residence halls staff writer @dailyathenaeum

It is hard to find a busier day in Morgantown than the Friday before the start of a fall semester at West Virginia University. Friday marked move-in for students who will live in on-campus residence halls this semester. Members from nearly every University department were out in full force to make sure the day ran smoothly. Kristi Wood-Turner, resident faculty leader for the Boreman North

and South, said she thinks this is the most cohesive day of the academic year. “Move-in day here is honestly what I can say in my whole career here is an all-hands-on-deck operation,” Wood-Turner said. “What goes into it is anywhere from parking, the police, parking authority. Facilities (Management) is all over the place and on-hand to help. We have administrators walking around here picking up boxes.” With all of the different sections working together, Wood-Turner said she was happy to report everything

WVU hotshots help students, families handle move-in by alexis randolph staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Friday marked move-in day for students living in on-campus residence halls at West Virginia University, and with move-in came a lot of belongings to move. The WVU Residential Education hotshots were around to help. Hotshots are upperclassmen students who were offered the chance to move into their dorms early if they helped with general move-in. These students received an email in the summer asking them if they were interested in the opportunity. Accepted students were given a date to move in, a meeting time and a volunteer shirt. Kristi Wood-Turner, resident faculty leader for the Boreman residential halls, said Hotshots are one of the biggest assets on move-in day.

“I love them. They are probably the hardest working ones. All of us are doing a lot, but those hotshots are the ones lifting and carrying,” Wood-Turner said. “We could not do it without those hotshots.” Wood-Turner said the group works incredibly hard for the reward they receive. “For having that added benefit of moving in early, they really work for it on the day of move-in,” she said. “The excitement is always something we look forward to, and we have all worked really hard prepping for this move-in day to happen.” The hotshots were given the choice of a morning or afternoon move-in shift, or they could help out throughout day. Their responsibilities are simple: Help the incoming students carry their belongings to their room and answer any questions they can.

vous, but we reassure them that it’s not that bad,” she said. “We are a great representation of the WVU community, helping people out and giving them advice.” Johnna Treadway, a sophomore psychology student, said she enjoyed being able to give students advice for the upcoming year. “I’ve been telling them that once you get out there and walk around, you will see where you are going,” she said. “You will see Kyle Monroe/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM other people and have Residence hall hotshots plan their next move outside of Lincoln Hall as they assist fun.

More than 100 representatives from the West Virginia University Greek community attended the first-ever Greek Leadership Summit Friday. Fraternity and sorority presidents, chapter officers and advisers assembled in the Erickson Alumni Center to focus on the founding principles of the Greek community. “It’s about character building and leadership, behavior and social issues,” said Becky Lofstead, assistant vice president of University Communications. “It’s a way to all come together before classes start and all get on the same page.” WVU formed a Greek Advisory Council in December 2013, which decided a leadership summit was necessary. One of the main reasons for the gathering was to find a way to highlight the positive impact fraternities and sororities have in the community. Lofstead said the Greek community has become associated with partying and hazing scandals, and she said she believes they need to work together in order to show its good sides. “Lots of times there is so much negative out there about Greeks’ social life and parties and such forth,” Lofstead said. “This is a day to talk about community service and philanthropy and how we can become better leaders and people.” Sorority and fraternity members said one of the most important things they learned during the day was that they can benefit from cooperating with each other. “Right now, each fraternity has its own philanthropy. Let’s say I have one that we really want to do, then we can invite (Phi Sigma Kappa) and do a dual philanthropy,” said Cameron Beir, member of the Theta Chi fraternity. Matt Rodriguez, member of Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity, said the summit will help organize the new year for the Greek community. “We’re making sure that we are all on the same page and that we have good communication throughout the year and make sure things don’t overlap,” Rodriguez said. Kevin Berry, associate director and chief operating officer of the WVU Alumni Association and alumni member of Phi Sigma Kappa, was the keynote speaker of the event. Berry’s message was simple: Anyone can be a leader, all it takes is practice. “Leadership is about self-development,” Berry said. “You need to focus on the skills that will empower you to be an effective leader. Examples of these are communication skills, listening skills and analytical skills. Leadership is learned by character-building and practice.”

Perry latest 2016 GOP hopeful facing legal trouble WVU Law student faced similar arrest at concert in July by jacob bojesson city editor @dailyathenaeum

Thomas Colin Greene, the 25-year-old West Virginia University College of Law student who was arrested Wednesday after allegedly breaking into a woman’s apartment and smearing blood on her face, was involved in a similar incident at a concert in July according to an article in The Observer Reporter (Pa.). Greene was arrested last month for allegedly groping a woman while attending a concert at First Niagara Pavilion and using a Go-Pro camera attached to a stick to film her, according to the The Observer Reporter. The alleged victim told police officers that Greene made several attempts to fondle her, despite her telling him to stop. The woman said Greene whispered in her ear, “You can scream all you want, baby. They like me more than they like you.” Greene was arraigned on charges of indecent assault, disorderly conduct, harass-

ment and public drunkenness. He was released from jail after posting a $25,000 percentage bond. Wednesday, Greene was arrested after allegedly breaking into a woman’s apartment at 175 Walnut St. The woman told the Morgantown Police Department that Greene crawled into her bed and smeared his own blood on her face, before the woman was able to escape and call the police. MPD also believes Greene tried to break into three more residences where his blood was found. Greene was charged with burglary and abduction. According to Greene’s profile on The College of Law’s website, which has since been removed, he is scheduled to graduate in 2015. He previously attended West Virginia Wesleyan College in Buckhannon, W.Va., where he majored in kinesiology and exercise science. It is unclear whether Greene is still in custody or if he has been released. Carl.Bojesson@mail.wvu.edu

Official: Amish girls sexually abused in abduction

A pair of investigators walk on the property of Stephen Howells II and Nicole F. Vaisey, in Hermon, N.Y., Aug. 16. Vaisey and Howells were arrested Friday on charges of first-degree kidnapping with the intent to physically harm or sexually abuse the victims. CANTON, N.Y. (AP) — Two young Amish sisters were sexually abused after their abduction from a roadside farm stand in northern New York, a prosecutor said Saturday. St. Lawrence County District Attorney Mary Rain’s disclosure came hours after the county’s sheriff said the couple charged in the kidnapping were prowling for easy targets and may have planned to abduct other children. Stephen Howells Jr. and Nicole Vaisey, both of Hermon, were arrested and arraigned Friday on charges they abducted the 7-yearold and 12-year-old sisters with the intent to physically or sexually abuse them. “We felt that there was the definite potential that there was going to be other victims,” St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin Wells said. The sisters were abducted Wednesday from the farm stand in front of the family’s home in Oswegatchie, near the Canadian border. They were set free by their captors about 24 hours later and turned up safe at the door of a house 15 miles from where they were taken. The sheriff said Howells, 39, and Vaisey, 25, “were targeting opportunities” and did not necessarily grab the girls because they were Amish. “There was a lot of thought process that went into this,” Wells said. “They were looking for opportuni-

ties to victimize.” The suspects are being held without bail. A preliminary court appearance is scheduled for Thursday. Vaisey’s lawyer, Bradford Riendeau told The New York Times that Howells had abused Vaisey and treated her submissively. He said she made a “voluntary statement” to investigators after her arrest and was obtaining an order of protection against him. “She appears to have been the slave and he was the master,” Riendeau told the newspaper. There was no answer Saturday at the St. Lawrence County Conflict Defender’s Office, which is representing Howells. Wells said the girls were able to provide details to investigators about their time in captivity. The Associated Press generally does not identify people who may be victims of sexual abuse. The kidnappings touched off a massive search in the family’s remote farming community. Searchers scoured the community of about 4,000 people, but were hampered by a lack of photos of the girls. The Amish typically avoid modern technology, and the family had to work with an artist who spoke their language, a German dialect known as Pennsylvania Dutch, to produce a sketch of the older girl.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry speaks during a news conference on Saturday, Aug. 16, 2014, in Austin, Texas. Perry said Saturday that the indictment against him was an “outrageous” abuse of power and vowed to fight it. AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — As they form exploratory committees, consider the grueling prospect of a national campaign with their families and begin hiring staff in key presidential battleground states, three potential Republican White House candidates also face the distraction of legal troubles back at home. The latest is Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who following his indictment on two felony charges, is staring at the most serious accusations of wrongdoing by a prominent Republican governor openly considering a run for president. In New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie is trying to move beyond the apparent effort of his staff to create traffic chaos on a bridge into Manhattan late last year, while state prosecutors in Wisconsin are examining whether Gov. Scott Walker coordinated too closely during a past campaign with outside conservative groups. But prosecutors have taken no action against Christie and Walker, and may never do so. Only Perry has suffered the infamy of an actual indictment, handed up by a grand jury in Austin, Texas, that accused the longest-serving governor in the state’s history of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. The charges came after a special prosecutor spent months presenting evidence that Perry broke the law when he carried out a promise to nix funding for the public integrity unit run by the office of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg unless

she resigned. A Democrat, Lehmberg had been convicted of drunken driving. Technically, Perry faces up to 109 years in prison if convicted, although legal experts of all political stripes have said such a sentence – if not a conviction itself – is unlikely. That may not matter. Perry is the still the first Texas governor since 1917 to be indicted, and as the case drags on, that fact could be all would-be 2016 Republican primary voters remember about him. “Indictment is a loaded word,” said Mark McKinnon, a GOP consultant and former top adviser to the presidential campaign of George W. Bush. The indictment came as Perry spent months rehabilitating his national image after his failed 2012 run for president. He’s become a staple on national television and a frequent visitor to the early voting states of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina and has insisted he’ll be better prepared this time for the national spotlight. “From a personal standpoint, this is a tragedy for Perry,” said Matt Mackowiak, a Texas-based Republican strategist. “This new uncertainty about Perry’s future will stall his positive political momentum for 2016 until this is resolved, which could take a year.” Perry, though, has given no indication that he plans to stop his early moves toward a campaign. He’s dismissed the case as a political ploy, an argument sure to resonate with some Republicans. Lehmberg is a Democrat and Austin, where the grand jury was

MONROVIA, Liberia (AP) — Liberian officials fear Ebola could soon spread through the capital’s largest slum after residents raided a quarantine center for suspected patients and took items including bloody sheets and mattresses. The violence in the West Point slum occurred late Saturday and was led by residents angry that patients were brought to the holding center from other parts of Monrovia, Tolbert Nyenswah, assistant health minister, said Sunday. Up to 30 patients were staying at the center and many of them fled at the time of the raid, said Nyenswah. Once they are located they will be transferred to the Ebola center at Monrovia’s largest hospital, he said. West Point residents went on a “looting spree,” stealing items from the clinic that were likely infected, said a senior police official, who insisted on anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the press. The residents took medical equipment and mat-

tresses and sheets that had bloodstains, he said. Ebola is spread through bodily fluids including blood, vomit, feces and sweat. “All between the houses you could see people fleeing with items looted from the patients,” the official said, adding that he now feared “the whole of West Point will be infected.” Some of the looted items were visibly stained with blood, vomit and excrement, said Richard Kieh, who lives in the area. The incident creates a new challenge for Liberian health officials who were already struggling to contain the outbreak. Liberian police restored order to the West Point neighborhood Sunday. Sitting on land between the Montserrado River and the Atlantic Ocean, West Point is home to at least 50,000 people, according to a 2012 survey. Distrust of government runs high in West Point, with rumors regularly circulating that the government plans to clear the

tie, who showed deep contrition in apologizing for alleged wrongdoing of his staff, then waited months for the political scandal at home to blow over before he again began strongly positioning himself for a potential 2016 presidential run anew. The U.S. attorney in New Jersey continues to investigate allegations that the governor’s staffers and appointees ordered the closing of access lanes to the George Washington Bridge last September in an apparent act of political retribution. And, though he’s not been charged, prosecutors have said Walker violated the law by helping to coordinate fundraising with a string of outside conservative groups helping him and top Republican state senators avoid being removed from office in 2011 and 2012 recall elections. Five people have also been convicted on various charges related to illegal campaign work done by Walker’s staff from his time as Milwaukee County executive during his first run for governor. In Iowa, national Republican committeeman Steve Scheffler said Perry’s indictments would likely have little lasting impact on his political prospects – and he’s predicting similar outcomes for investigations surrounding Christie and Walker. “The people of Iowa care about the facts,” Scheffler said. “There seems to be a heck of a lot more to the story than it appears. I just don’t think there’s anything that’s going to be of any damage at all.”

seated, is a liberal bastion in fiercely conservative Texas. “We don’t settle political differences with indictments in this country,” Perry said Saturday. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who is also eyeing the 2016 presidential contest, dismissed the charges in a Twitter message as “a political witch hunt.” Another potential White House hopeful, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, defended his fellow Texan, saying in a statement, “Rick Perry is a friend, he’s a man of integrity.” Some even wonder whether Perry could benefit from the legal hot water. The case creates a reason to show a jailhouse video from Lehmberg’s April 2013 arrest for drunken driving, when she shouted, kicked the door of her cell and stuck her tongue out. The district attorney’s blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit. “The constant message has to be that this is the consequence of standing up and doing what’s right,” said Michael Dennehy, a Republican operative helping organize Perry’s New Hampshire outreach. He said Perry’s visit to New Hampshire planned for next weekend would go forward as scheduled. Facing reporters Saturday, Perry was defiant, saying “an individual who was booked in, had to be restrained, was abusive to law enforcement, was kicking the door. I think Americans and Texans who’ve seen this agree with me, that that is not an individual who is heading up an office that we can afford to fund.” Such a resolute approach stands in contrast to Chris-

slum out entirely. Though there had been talk of putting West Point under quarantine should Ebola break out there, assistant health minister Nyenswah said Sunday no such step has been taken. “West Point is not yet quarantined as being reported,” he said. Ebola has killed 1,145 people in West Africa, including 413 in Liberia, according to the World Health Organization. Other countries across Africa are grappling to prevent Ebola’s spread with travel

restrictions, suspensions of airline flights, public health messages and quarantines. Nigeria appears to be making progress in containing the disease. The country has 12 confirmed cases of Ebola, all of which stem from direct contact with the Liberian-American man who flew to Nigeria late last month while ill. He infected several health workers before dying. Since then three others have died in Nigeria from Ebola, according to figures released over the weekend.

New year, new beginnings

FILE PHOTO

Today’s the day, it’s finally here. Your notebooks are fresh, you’ve purchased your books, your apartment is set up and you feel like you’re ready to conquer the world – or at least your 8:30 a.m. class. From the entire staff at The Daily Athenaeum, we would like to wish everyone luck on their first day of the fall semester. Maybe today will be

your first time sitting in a lecture in Brooks Hall, or maybe this isn’t your first rodeo. Regardless, the start of a new school year can bring a mix of emotions for everyone. The Mountainlair will again be filled with students, the hills will remind you of how you should have worked out more this summer and campus will come alive.

OUR VIEW The new school year, much like a new calendar year, is a time for new beginnings, changes and challenges. A successful semester starts right here, right now. Setting out to get that GPA you’ve always dreamed of earning? Start your study habits early. Why not go to the library today? Want to work out more?

Start planning times to go to the Student Rec Center today. The new school year, much like a new calendar year, is a time for new beginnings, changes and challenges.

But that’s the great thing about a new year. Sure, the first day can be a little awkward. You might not know anyone on campus, sit halfway through the wrong class or accidentally walk into the wrong room in your residence hall. But it’s a chance to start over. Didn’t enjoy your high school experience or your grades last semester? Today is your chance to make

those changes. But don’t go too far. College is a great opportunity to try new things, meet new people or make changes in your life. But, it’s easy to lose sight of who you truly are. So, enjoy your first day. Set goals for yourself, and start working toward them. And don’t forget to have fun. It’s going to be a great year.

The problem with the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Jake Jarvis Multimedia Editor @JakeJarvisWVU

If you don’t know what the Ice Bucket Challenge is, you must be living under a rock. The premise is simple: A person dumps an ice-cold bucket of water on their head. From there, they dare usually three friends to do the same. If they don’t complete the challenge, they must donate $100 to the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association. Celebrities like Dierks Bentley, Jimmy Fallon and Mark Zuckerburg have all taken the call. The intentions behind the challenge are to raise money to fight ALS, while also raising awareness about the need for more medical research into finding a cure. At first glance, the Ice Bucket Challenge seems great. According to the ALS Association’s website, donations from July 29 to Aug. 12 were up $2.8 million from last year. This was attributed to the viral success of the “Ice Bucket Challenge.” But do we not see the inherent flaws with this plan? The goal of this challenge, on a grand scale, should be to raise money to not only put toward medical research, but to also ensure those living with ALS receive high- quality health care.

Instead, this challenge has proven to the world that the person accepting the challenge is a good person. “Look, I’m helping out, even if in a small way.” But most people, from my experience with friends who have taken the challenge, don’t donate to the ALS Association. Instead, they just dump water on their heads. I’d like to acknowledge that the “Ice Bucket Challenge” is mostly a good thing for the world. Awareness is a good thing, but this challenge is not actually raising awareness. I did a quick YouTube search of 20 “Ice Bucket” videos. In only one of them did the participant actually mention ALS. That’s right, one. Matt Lauer, in his recent “Ice Bucket Challenge” broadcast on the Today show on July 18, also didn’t mention ALS. He was, however, very clear to mention that he would still be donating even though he participated in the challenge. Our culture is obsessed with memes and internet challenges. The “Ice Bucket Challenge” has become the equivalent of planking, back when that was popular. And just like planking, this challenge is going to get old quickly. As more people complete the challenge and dare others to do the same, people will get tired of hearing about it. Think of it like spam mail. The more spam you have, the

more you try to ignore it. The only reason this challenge became so popular was because people are allowed to publicly praise themselves. I’d wager that if you’d ask 90 percent of Ice Bucket participants about ALS and their stance on the importance of furthering medical research, their answer would have been blase.

But does the end justify the means? Do the millions of extra dollars raised to cure ALS outweigh the egoism? We shouldn’t settle on this model of social media campaigns. There should be ways to raise awareness without patting yourself on the back at the same time. I don’t have a solution or alternative to the “Ice Bucket

Challenge.” In a perfect world, people would just donate money to cure ALS. It’s hard to conceptualize that a trend like this is inherently very good and very bad at the same time. Don’t mistake my apprehension about this challenge as pessimism. I just think it’s important for people to think critically about why they are

taking the Ice Bucket Challenge, and the affects of their actions. I would also encourage those who do participate to visit http://alsa.org/ about-als/facts-you-shouldknow.html and include one of these facts about ALS in their video. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

Police power trip in Ferguson, Mo.?

A law enforcement officer watches Sunday as tear gas is fired to disperse a crowd protesting the shooting of teenager Michael Brown last Saturday in Ferguson, Mo. Brown’s shooting in the middle of a street following a suspected robbery of a box of cigars from a nearby market has sparked a week of protests, riots and looting in the St. Louis suburb.

TAYLOR JOBIN COLUMNIST @DAILYATHENAEUM

Police brutality seems to be on the rise. Whether it actually is, or just caught more often because of our technology-driven and voyeuristic society is up for debate. What isn’t up for debate is that since the 1960s, local law enforcement agencies, in concert with the federal government, have been systematically arming and training local police to be more like soldiers on the battlefield. We have gotten to see this in real time while watching the heartbreaking aftermath of the Michael Brown shooting and its subsequent protests, riots, looting raids and police occupation in Ferguson, Mo. I don’t know all the facts. I

didn’t know the young man killed, and I don’t know the officer who killed him. I have no pony in this race, so why do I seem to care so much? It might have something to do with how a peaceful protest morphed into a war zone almost instantaneously. The looting and the rioting are disturbing, of course, but that’s what the police are there for. You would think that kevlar clad, AR-15-wielding, armored vehicle-driving officers who turned one crime into an occupation, would be able to curtail any looting. With such overwhelmingly sophisticated weaponry at their disposal, I think it would be fair to want to see the video of what happened. Oddly enough, there is no video of the actual shooting. This is because of the out 18 patrol cars the Ferguson Police have, only two

have been fitted with dashboard cameras. However, none of the equipment has been installed because, according to the Ferguson Police Chief, the department doesn’t have the money to cover the cost. Isn’t this the same police chief who ordered a militarized response to peaceful protests? The same chief who has given the green light on the use of Long Range Acoustic Devices (a war-zone crowd control machine) tear gas and rubber bullets to quell any unrest? Whose officers are arresting journalists inside of a McDonald’s and confiscating cameras on the streets? In his book, “The Rise of The Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America’s Police Forces,” journalist Radley Balko writes, “Law-enforcement agencies across the U.S., at every level of government, have been

blurring the line between police officer and soldier. Driven by martial rhetoric and the availability of military-style equipment – from bayonets and M–16 rifles to armored personnel carriers – American police forces have often adopted a mindset previously reserved for the battlefield.” Well, Balko, not only have the police adopted that mindset, they are now using it on American citizens. Ferguson isn’t the first place either. LRADs were used in the Occupy Wall Street protests and the Pittsburgh International Monetary Fund protests in 2011. The Geneva Convention bans the use of tear gas in international warfare, yet it is being used on the streets of America. This isn’t all the police’s fault, either. I believe the old saying, “If all you have is a hammer, everything

looks like a nail,” applies here. Rank and file police officers didn’t ask for military grade weapons and costumes. They didn’t join their local PD to drive tanks or fly drones. They did it to help people. But if you dress a man up like RoboCop, he’s going to want to tear s--up like RoboCop. It’s only natural. The problem is the government-funded programs that supply these war machines to local police forces. If they have them, they might as well use them, right? This is all a product of our foreign policy becoming more predicated on drone use instead of boots on the ground. Therefore, sending a surplus of military equipment back to the states to be used at home. These added weapons don’t deter crime, they encourage it. When police start

shooting rubber bullets and tear gas at unarmed protesters, they are encouraging escalation. Protesters begin to arm themselves, beginning a cycle of looting and retaliatory violence that can only end in more destruction. It’s no coincidence that as soon as the Ferguson police were removed and the highway patrol, lead by a Ferguson native, was instated, the violence ceased. Photos of officers walking among the protesters are what we should have seen from the start, not after a suburban occupation. We don’t need soldiers manning the streets to keep us safe from ourselves. We need empathetic human beings who are brave enough to risk their own lives for the safety of others. Is that too much to ask for? daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

What working with kids teaches us Gaining perspective on life from young people

HANNAH CHENOWETH Columnist

Just like the elderly among us are wise, the tiniest humans often share the same crystal-clear wisdom that eludes the rest of us. Not from their experience, but lack thereof. I’ve babysat and had jobs

involving children before, but this summer I worked as a camp counselor for the first time. Being around kids for nine hours a day, five days a week, was surprisingly not as exhausting as I imagined. OK, in hindsight I was definitely pretty tired by Friday, but what happened that I didn’t expect was how refreshing it was being around the little ones. There were no an-

I realized a day into my job how sponge-like small children really are. They watch your every move, which in turn makes you watch your every move, especially language-wise. It’s easy to forget how much you idolized adults and “big kids” when you were little. Having to be an example makes you conduct yourself in a different way than you would ever act around your family and friends. It’s comforting to know little kids will always be hysterically amused by the same things. Certain words will easily send them into fits of hysteria that make you start to giggle. The un-

self-conscious way they laugh or even cry about everything makes you wish you were still that age. These little 5- to 9-yearolds had me in awe every day. Their boundless imagination, creativity and energy constantly surprised me. The little white lies they constantly tell kept me amused all summer. They really are the funniest creatures. Their constant questioning –“Why this, why that”– made me stop and think about things I otherwise wouldn’t ponder. I wasn’t used to ever being around children at my other job, but being around them every day this summer reminded me again of

how good and pure we all are when we come into this world. Their innocence has a way of melting your heart. Whether it’s the person playing with a kid whom you wouldn’t expect or looking at an enemy with a more compassionate understanding, it helps you realize that we all start out pretty much the same. Seeing little humans with so much goodness gives you hope for the future. It also gives you an idea of the responsibility of creating life - it is all up to you to keep them that way, to guide them through the chaos of this world. daprespectives@mail.wvu.edu

gry customers in my face or bosses with impossible requests. The black and white way kids see the world makes you reevaluate your own morals. To them, life is as simple as, “You should always tell the truth,” and, “Stupid is a bad word.” The way they smother you in attention and unconditional affection is similar to a loyal puppy.

Federal autopsy ordered in Missouri teen’s death

Protesters march down the middle of a street in front of a convenience store in Ferguson, Mo. that was looted and burned following the shooting death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager, by a white police officer on Saturday, Aug. 9, 2014. Demonstrators are demanding justice for the 18-year-old Brown, which they say can only be accomplished if Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson is charged and convicted for the shooting. Many also cite larger causes. FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Sunday ordered a federal medical examiner to perform another autopsy on a black Missouri teenager whose fatal shooting by a white police officer has spurred a week of rancorous and sometimes violent protests in suburban St. Louis. The “extraordinary circumstances” surrounding the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown and a request by Brown’s family members prompted the order, Department of Justice spokesman Brian Fallon said in a statement. “This independent examination will take place as soon as possible,” Fallon said. “Even after it is complete, Justice Department officials still plan to take the stateperformed autopsy into account in the course of their investigation.” The Justice Department already had deepened its civil rights investigation into the shooting. Officials said a day earlier that 40 FBI agents were going door-todoor gathering information in the Ferguson, Missouri, neighborhood where Brown, who was unarmed, was shot to death in the middle of the street on Aug. 9. David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor who supervised the criminal civil rights section of Miami’s U.S. Attorney’s office, said a federally conducted autopsy “more closely focused on entry point of projectiles, defensive wounds and bruises” might help that investigation, and that the move is “not that unusual.” He also said federal authorities want to calm any public fears that no action will be taken on the case. President Barack Obama, who has been getting regular briefings on the situation in Ferguson while on vacation, also was to be briefed by Holder upon returning

Monday to the White House. The Justice Department’s latest announcement followed the first night of a state-imposed curfew in Ferguson, which ended with tear gas and seven arrests after police dressed in riot gear used armored vehicles to disperse defiant protesters. Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said protesters weren’t the reason for the escalated police reaction early Sunday after the midnight curfew took effect, but a report of people who had broken into a barbecue restaurant and taken to the roof, and a man who flashed a handgun in the street as armored vehicles approached the crowd of protesters. Also overnight, a man was shot and critically wounded in the same area, but not by police; authorities were searching for the shooter. Someone also shot at a police car, officials said. The protests have been going on since Brown’s death heightened racial ten-

sions between the predominantly black community and mostly white Ferguson Police Department, leading to several run-ins between police and protesters and prompting Missouri’s governor to put the Highway Patrol in charge of security. Ferguson Police waited six days to publicly reveal the name of the officer and documents alleging Brown robbed a convenience store before he was killed, though Chief Thomas Jackson said the officer did not know Brown was a suspect when he encountered him walking in the street with a friend. Gov. Jay Nixon, who imposed the curfew after declaring a state of emergency as protests turned violent to start the weekend, said Sunday morning on ABC’s “This Week” that he was not aware the police were going to release surveillance video from the store where Brown is alleged to have stolen a $49 box of cigars. “It’s appeared to cast aspersions on a young man

that was gunned down in the street. It made emotions raw,” Nixon said. Police have said little about the encounter between Brown and the officer other than that a scuffle ensued after the initial stop, the officer was injured and Brown was shot. Witnesses say the teenager had his hands in the air as the officer fired multiple rounds. “When you’re exhausted, when you’re out of resources, when you’re out of ammunition, you surrender,” Brown’s uncle, pastor Charles Ewing, told worshippers during a Sunday sermon at Jennings Mason Temple in Ferguson. “He surrendered, and yet he

died.” In announcing the standing curfew in Ferguson, Nixon said many protesters were making themselves heard peacefully but the state would not allow looters to endanger the community. Johnson, the Highway Patrol captain, had said police would not enforce the curfew with armored trucks and tear gas and would communicate with protesters and give them ample opportunity to leave. Local officers faced strong criticism earlier in the week for their use of tear gas and rubber bullets against protesters. As the curfew deadline arrived early Sunday, most

protesters left the streets, but those who remained protesters refused to leave the area as officers spoke through a loudspeaker: “You are in violation of a state-imposed curfew. You must disperse immediately.” As officers put on gas masks, a chant from the distant crowd emerged: “We have the right to assemble peacefully.” A moment later, police began firing canisters into the crowd. Highway Patrol Spokesman Lt. John Hotz initially said police only used smoke, but later told The Associated Press they also used tear gas canisters.

Palestinian divisions emerge in Gaza truce talks

Palestinian protesters face Israeli soldiers, following a demonstration to support people in Gaza and Palestinian negotiators in Cairo, Egypt, during clashes near the West Bank city of Nablus on Friday. Israel and Hamas are observing a five-day ceasefire which began at midnight Wednesday, in an attempt to allow talks between the sides in Cairo to continue. The negotiations are meant to secure a substantive end to the monthlong war and draw up a roadmap for the coastal territory of Gaza, which has been hard-hit in the fighting. CAIRO (AP) — The Palestinians appeared divided Sunday as the clock was winding down on the latest Gaza cease-fire, with officials saying Hamas was still opposed to a compromise Egyptian proposal that would ease the closure of the territory, while other factions, including delegates representing President Mahmoud Abbas, were inclined to accept. Hamas officials said they were holding out in hopes of getting more concessions in the Egyptian-mediated talks. With a temporary truce set to expire late Monday, a range of outcomes remained possible, including a return to fighting that has brought great devastation to Gaza, an unofficial understanding that falls short of a formal nego-

tiated deal or yet another extension in negotiations. The negotiations are aimed at ending the latest war between Israel and Hamas-led militants in Gaza. Nearly 2,000 Palestinians have been killed – mostly civilians – and more than 10,000 people have been wounded since the war began July 8, according to United Nations figures. In Israel, 67 people have been killed, all but three of them soldiers. The indirect talks have been going on, through Egyptian mediators, since early last week. As Palestinian and Israeli negotiators returned to Cairo on Sunday following a weekend of consultations across the Middle East, the gaps remained wide. The current five-day

cease-fire is due to end Monday night at midnight (2100 GMT). A member of the Palestinian delegation told The Associated Press on Sunday that the gaps between the sides were still significant and that it was far from certain whether a deal could be reached before the cease-fire expires. “We are less optimistic than we were earlier,” he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the talks with the media. Hamas is demanding an end to an Israeli-Egyptian blockade on Gaza tightened when it seized power in 2007. The blockade, which Israel says is needed to prevent arms smuggling, has ground Gaza’s econ-

omy to a standstill by restricting imports, limiting the movement of people in and out of the territory and blocking virtually all exports. Israel, meanwhile, wants Gaza to be demilitarized, essentially forcing Hamas to give up its large arsenal of rockets and other weapons. Hamas rejects this demand out of hand. Ahead of the resumption of talks late Sunday, both sides were sticking to their positions. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his Cabinet that Hamas had suffered a huge setback in the four-week war, which would be reflected in the Cairo talks. “If Hamas thinks its defeat on the battlefield will be papered over by a vic-

tory at the negotiating table it is mistaken,” he said. Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman in Gaza, directed equally tough words at Israel. “The Israelis will only return to their homes when the resistance decides. We are not seeking an agreement because we are weak but to fulfill our people’s demands,” he told a rally. According to negotiators, the Egyptian proposal calls for compromises by both sides. It seeks to ease the blockade by allowing more imports and exports for Gaza, and increased movement of people in and out of the territory’s Israeli-controlled crossing. But key demands, such as Hamas’ calls for Gaza’s air and seaports to be reopened, are to be left un-

til later. While Gaza would not be forced to disarm, Gaza’s border crossings would be controlled by forces loyal to Abbas. The Westernbacked Abbas would also oversee international reconstruction efforts in Gaza, to make sure that aid money and materials don’t fall into the hands of Hamas. The Egyptian compromise would give the Western-backed Abbas his first foothold back in Gaza since his forces were driven out seven years ago. In a show of unity, the Palestinian delegation in Cairo has included representatives of rival factions, including Abbas’ Fatah movement and the smaller militant group Islamic Jihad.

Your first week in Morgantown

Freshmen students join together at the 2013 University Welcome to sing ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ together for the first time.

Important 2014 West Virginia University Welcome Week dates, what to expect by ashley denardo Associate A&E editor @amdenardo

Welcome, freshmen, to West Virginia University. When your parents left you behind in your residence hall for the first time, you may have thought you were all alone. You’re not. WVU created Welcome Week to help new students settle in with their fellow Mountaineers and to help guide them through their journey. Bernadette Jungblut, university assessment officer and executive director for Academic Success Initiatives and the First-Year Experience , said she believes the event is extremely important. “We want all new Mountaineers and returning Mountaineers to connect with fellow students, staff members, faculty and administrators as soon as they arrive in Morgantown,” Jungblut said. Jungblut said she was unable to pick the most important of the Welcome Week activities. Welcome Week kicked off on Friday with move-in day. The day was structured to help students move into their residence halls without feeling helpless. Most likely, students had help from one of the students in the HotShot program who were stationed outside each hall to help

with both the physical and emotional labor of leaving home for the first time. Student services days also started Friday on the second floor of the Mountainlair. From 9 a.m – 6 p.m. each day of Welcome Week, students can visit Student Accounts, Student Health Insurance, Financial Aid & Scholarships, Payroll and other departments to ask questions and get information about what is offered. “For students who are new to WVU, I would say the First-Year Academy events are the most important as these two events are the first real exposure these students have to WVU,” said Brian Walker from the WVU Office of Campus and Community Life. From 1-4 p.m. Saturday, the University hosted mandatory academic department visits. Faculty and administrators from each academic unit were available to meet with incoming students. This gave incoming students the opportunity to become more comfortable with both their advisors and peers within their major before classes began. University Welcome Day, held on Sunday, is one of the most memorable and touching moments each year for freshmen. “The New Student Welcome is the only time the entire incoming class is to-

gether – and it is incredibly moving when more than 5,000 Mountaineers sing ‘(Take Me Home,) Country Roads’ together for the first time,” Jungblut said. Today is the first day of classes. Besides classes, students are invited to attend the Welcome Week information fair from 9 a.m.- 6 p.m. in the Mountainlair Commons. This will give students a chance to learn more about WellWVU: The Students’ Center of Health, study abroad opportunities, tutoring, class rings and more. FallFest 2014 will kick off at 6 p.m. in the Mountainlair Plaza with performances by Kendrick Lamar, Dierks Bentley and MAGIC! “Welcome Week is the perfect opportunity for University departments to get new students acclimated to life at WVU and familiarize students with the huge variety of services available to them,” Walker said. Thursday brings the week closer to an end with Multicultural Day, where dishes from around the world will be served at on-campus dining locations. WVUp All Night will host a welcome back luau. Be prepared to wear gold and blue for Friday’s Traditions Day. The Mountainlair Commons will be home to various events throughout the day.

Prepping for a fresh semester is a rejuvenating process. Ousting old binders, notebooks and tattered backpacks allows for a new start and a truly clean slate. Whether coming to West Virginia University as a freshman or returning as an upperclassman, purchasing supplies and course essentials is a daunting task. With an incredible amount of apps, technology and organizational elements on the market, shopping this August can prove to be a dizzying and anxiety-ridden experience. However, armed with a list of must-have basics, you’ll leave that office supply store ready to take on those courses and ready to tackle any exam in your way. With heaps of new tech-

nology being introduced each year, figuring out what suits your life is essential in staying sane and organized. Simplicity is key. Two apps for your Apple computer, iStudiez Pro and Evernote, are toprated for use in academia. Both are rated as being simple to use and are configured for an active user experience. iStudiez Pro is completely tailored to the downloader’s course load and schedule. After downloading it for $2.99 from the App Store, users enter their class schedule. From there, iStudiez Pro acts as a virtual planner, suggesting alternating periods of studying and relaxation time as they fit into the user’s daily life. As an Apple program, the application synchs through the iCloud on all Apple devices for fullfledged daily use. “Technology keeps me sane,” said Meredith Ramella, and english stu-

dent at West Virginia University. “I’m always typing things into my Notes and calendar on my iPhone.” Much like Ramella, students often look for a place to keep all of their important information in one place. Evernote, while different from iStudiez Pro, does just that. It keeps busy lives organized. Evernote combines video, voice and text formatting to record nearly anything users deem necessary to keep. All of these files are then organized and synched through the Cloud or iCloud (if you have an apple product) to the user’s devices, making every visual, audio and text available whenever needed. Users also have the ability to customize various files to organize them in any accessible way they desire. As far as supplies go, the best philosophy is to keep it simple. Ask yourself: “What’s

worked for me in the past?” Then, “What hasn’t?” A folder and notebook for each class, pens, highlighters, a calculator and dictionary are the best essentials. “I like to keep things really simple,” Ramella said. “It’s easy to get things jumbled and confused if I buy too many binders and organizers.” As WVU approaches the start of fall semester classes, various office supply stores, such as Staples and Office Max, will hold flash sales and discounts for college students. The Barnes & Noble Bookstore sells a variety of supply essentials, which may also provide the perfect opportunity to pick up course textbooks. Probably the last thing on your mind is homework. But it will come, and it will come swiftly. When it does, you’ll be ready. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Cera released an indie folk album last week quietly, in a way almost as unassuming as the actor himself. “I would record a lot of the songs in the middle of the night just at home. I never thought anyone would ever listen to them,” he said in an interview Thursday. “It’s really nice that people are paying any attention to it because there’s a lot of stuff to listen to.” The 26-year-old, whose TV and film credits include “Arrested Development,” “Juno” and “Superbad,” dropped the 18-song album, “true that,” on the Bandcamp website on Aug. 8. He said he was “bored a few days ago” and decided to make a page on the website for people to check out his music. It went largely overlooked until his acting buddy Jonah Hill tweeted a link Wednesday. The album, which streams for free and costs $7 to download, is made up of

airy, folky tracks, some just wordless fragments, some more fully fleshed out. Some songs are covers and others have borrowed sound, ranging from a TV reporter swearing after swallowing a bug to a piece of dialogue lifted from the 1973 film “O Lucky Man!” starring Malcolm McDowell. “I think it has some value in that sense. It’s honest. It’s just an effort,” Cera said, adding that he created the songs with GarageBand software. “I’m limited by many things - my abilities, my imagination and my technology.” Cera said the album’s quiet launch was a nod from Beyonce’s playbook. The pop diva released her top-selling self-titled album last year without the public knowing. “I didn’t want anyone to take it seriously or think that I was taking it seriously by it being a big thing,” said Cera, who sang backing vocals and played mandolin on Weezer’s 2010 album, “Hurley.”

Arts Series to provide students with entertainment Jake Jarvis Multimedia editor @Jakejarviswvu

Students at West Virginia University have the opportunity to experience nationally touring artists with the WVU University Arts Series. “There’s a huge diversity in the acts that come,” said David Ryan, public relations specialist for WVU Arts & Entertainment. “(Acts including) nationally touring Broadway performances, concerts and comedians.” Many popular acts came to town for the series’ 201314 season. Whoopi Goldberg performed Sept. 30., kicking off the 2013 season. Another comedian, Kathy Griffin, perfomed in early November. “I have never been to Morgantown,” Griffin said in an interview with the Daily Athenaeum in 2013. “But, I’m under strict orders to not state that I’m in Virginia, but specifically say, ‘Hello, West Virginia.’” Both acts received pos-

A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

If you have a natural love for music or want to learn how to play an instrument and haven’t had the chance to, you can sign up for the Community Music Program this fall semester. The Community Music Program was established in 1962 by Margaret Lorince, who was also a staff member at the West Virginia University School of Music. Throughout the years, the program has developed as the National Association of Schools of Music. “We owe this distinction, in part, to the strong support we receive from the College of Creative Arts and, in particular, the School of Music under the direction of Keith Jackson,” said Karen Taddie, coordinator of the WVU School of Music’s Community Music Program. “We are ever grateful.” This program offers private music lessons on every instrument, and caters to the Morgantown community. The program also offers group music classes for students as young as toddlers ranging to adults and senior citizens. Fall registration opens today. The official first day for the program is Aug. 25. The program offers classes such as ukulele, piano, harp, different types of eurhythmics, music for babies and more. Private music lessons are available in piano, organ, strings, woodwinds,

brass, percussion, voice, harp and guitar. Private lesson times are arranged between teacher and student afte r t h e re g i st rat i o n process. Full-term lessons consist of one lesson per week for 13 weeks. Lessons last 45-60 minutes. Prices are listed at http:// music.wvu.edu/community_music_program/ private_music_lesson. Payment is due at the time of registration, which includes a $10 registration fee for new and returning participants. Registration and payment must be completed to the Community Music Program office before students can attend classes or lessons. Senior citizens and faculty receive a 10 percent discount. Patrons enrolling in multiple classes receive a five percent discount. Enrollment averages about 300 students per term, according to Taddie. “We are delighted that we can bring the resources of WVU to so many in the community,” Taddie said. “We keep the community making music and enjoying the arts all year round with our offerings of lessons, classes, ensembles, community orchestra rehearsals and concerts.” A link to the registration form can be found at http://music.wvu.edu/community_music_program/ registration.

“They were still laughing, smiling from ear-to-ear as they left the Creative Arts Center. The most common acts to perform are nationally touring musicals. Last year, “Hello Dolly!,” “Memphis,” “Godspell,”

Fletcher’s Grove and Dangermuffin set to perform at 123 Westley Thompson A&E Writer @Dailyathenaeum

123 Pleasant Street is kicking off the new school year with a concert tonight. The line-up features Fletcher’s Grove and Dangermuffin. For newcomers, 123 Pleasant Street is a popular bar and venue in downtown Morgantown. The historic site features live music almost every night and has attracted some nationally-touring bands to the area. Bands from every genre imaginable have graced the soundstage of this Morgantown staple. “Every night is different, and that’s what people can sort of expect from Pleasant St.” said LJ Guiliani, owner of 123. 123 Pleasant Street has a distinct feel compared to the other bars and clubs in the area. While most cater to the EDM and hip-hop music genres and put alcohol at the forefront, 123 has a more alternative feel, and focuses on the music. “We’re distinctly different from a lot of the bars and clubs you see on High Street and downtown,” Guiliani said. “It’s about the music down here.” Monday’s show is shaping up to be an excellent one, and it has to in order to compete with FallFest.

encouragement and gentle ribbing. “The next day I heard he put a gun in his mouth and blew his head off,” recalled Masada of Jeni’s 2007 suicide. “At that point I said, `God, could I do something to somehow prevent that?’” A few years later, having watched his “family” continuously depleted, Masada did do something. He began having a psychologist at the club several nights a week, offering stand-ups the opportunity for free sessions. Robin Williams, a frequent Laugh Factory performer who committed suicide Monday, marked only the latest comic genius to be plagued by demons of depression and addiction. But seldom has the gulf between the bright buoyancy of the performer and the inner pain of the man seemed greater or more unfathomable. How did someone who suffered such demons summon such starbursts of generosity and glee? Like countless others this week, Conan O’Brien remembered Williams’ great capacity for thoughtfulness and kindness. When O’Brien was feeling down during the “Tonight Show” debacle, a bike arrived out of the blue from

Williams, outfitted for maximum ridiculousness. Said O’Brien: “It’s particularly courageous for someone to be that generous of spirit in the face of that kind of depression.” Such tales don’t make it any easier to reconcile Williams’ life with his sad fate. The magnitude of the shock over Williams’ death has been matched only by the outpouring of grief for his loss. “I’ll never, ever understand how he could be loved so deeply and not find it in his heart to stay,” said his 25-year-old daughter, Zelda Williams. “He was always warm, even in his darkest moments.” Williams’ publicist has said he had recently fought severe depression. Williams himself had occasionally spoken about his struggles (“Do I get sad? Oh yeah. Does it hit me hard? Oh yeah,” he told Terry Gross in 2006) and funneled his fights with alcoholism and addiction into his act. He largely won his battles with substance abuse except for several relapses quickly followed by rehab, including a stint at Hazelden in Minnesota last month. His widow, Susan Schneider, added Thursday that Williams also was suffering from the early stages of

Parkinson’s disease. Those factors — along with his heart surgery several years ago — offer a slightly deeper understanding of Williams’ mental state in recent days and weeks. But his death also reinforces the longheld stereotype of the sad clown, the tortured funnyman. Comedian Jim Norton responded to Williams’ death with an essay titled “Why the Funniest People Are Sometimes the Saddest” in which he noted that in his 25 years of performing stand-up, he knew eight comics who killed themselves. “When I find a comedian I admire, my first thing is: What’s wrong with this person?” Norton says. “Guys that I’ve admired the most always had that cloud. And it wasn’t a purposeful or a pseudoartist thing. It was a real thing that they were constantly combating. It was kind of a way to keep sadness or depression off of you, to be funny.” Particularly since the likes of Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor made stand-up into a more personal kind of truth-telling, many comedians have been drawn to the profession as a means for catharsis.

A look back at ‘New Girl’ finale, what’s to come Ashley Denardo Associate A&E Editor @AMDENARDO

FOX’s hit comedy, “New Girl,” was renewed March 7 for a fourth season. The season three finale, “Cruise,” aired May 6, leaving viewers with much in the way of unanswered questions. Nick (Jake Johnson) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel) invited their friends on a cruise they booked before they broke up in order to make things less awkward. During the vacation, Coach (Damon Wayans Jr.) confronts his fear of boats, and Schmidt (Max Greenfield) tries to create a moment to tell Cece (Hannah Simone) he’s still in love with her. Nick and Jess are forced into a romance package they paid for in advance. This causes another rift in their friendship when they are drawn to kiss each other. Winston (Lamorne Morris) focuses his energy on getting Nick and Jess to be comfortable as friends again. The group devises a way to get the exes in the same room together to fix their respective friendship. This is successful, but in doing so, they all become

trapped in their cabin for the remainder of the trip. They are finally found after three days in unsanitary conditions. The episode ends with the cast looking at a news publication about their time on the cruise. In the accompanying picture, Cece looks longingly at Schmidt. Viewership for the end of season three decreased dramatically from the overall average. Only 2.4 million viewers tuned in to the season three finale as compared to the season two finale, which had a little more than four million viewers. Still, audiences are l o o k i n g f o r w a rd t o what season four has in store. There is hope that Cece and Schmidt might resume their romantic relationship. It will also be interesting to see how Nick and Jess interact as they both begin to date other people and still remain roommates. With the serious plot arc of the Nick and Jess love story at an end, the creators could be heading for a more light-hearted and fun season with many surprises. The romantic situation overshadowed the male humor and energy that

The group is found in their cabin during the finale, “Cruise.” Nick originally brought to the show. To revive this, the character Coach, is now a full-time cast member. In the past, Winston has supported the plot in some way, and fans are looking forward to seeing him perform in a developed storyline this coming season. Cece is still in a relationship with the young

but attractive Buster. She will also continue her new profession as a lackluster bartender. Although Schmidt has made peace with the fact that he and Cece are not together, part of him will always try to hold on to her. Cece’s crazy model roommate, Nadia, will return sometime during the

season. Some fans won’t watch the upcoming season. Some think Nick and Jess should have stayed together and others believe making them already get so deep in a relationship killed the show. The creators said they hope for a reset, to get back to the basics of the

first two seasons. For the first episode of season four, “The Last Wedding,” Jessica Biel will guest star as Jess’s rival, Kat. The episode puts the group competing against each other to see who can find a sexual partner. “New Girl” premieres Sept. 16 at 9 p.m. on FOX. ashley.denardo@mail.wvu.edu

Where to get your caffeine fix in Morgantown Erika Bibbee A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

Finding the perfect barista can be a challenge for coffee lovers. In Morgantown, we are lucky to have myriad places to fill your caffeine addiction. Overslept and late for class? No worries. Just steps from your residence hall or apartment are plenty of locations to grab a cup on-the-go. The most obvious location is the Starbucks location in the Barnes & Noble Bookstore, right next to the Mountainlair. It has patio seating outside for nice weather. Or, step inside when the temperature drops to

wait between class with friends. The newly built Panera Bread on High Street is popular with students. For Evansdale students, the Panera Bread located on Patteson Drive is good if you don’t mind walking a little to get your morning coffee and bagel. Are you a diehard lover of Dunkin’ Donuts and absolutely need it in your life? A short drive away, on Earl L Core Road in Sabraton, is one of Dunkin’ Donuts’ newest locations. Also in Morgantown is Tim Horton’s, located just past the University Towne Centre. Many people enjoy getting an Ice Capp there. There are also some local favorites downtown that have a variety of bagels, donuts, coffees and sandwiches.

The Grind, located beside the Book Exchange, has been around for 18 years, said Chris Belt, one of the owners. “We’ve put a lot of pride in and believe our place is as good as you can get around Morgantown,” Belt said. While keeping some of the same items on its menu, The Grind also has began expanding the menu. It now has free Wi-Fi and extended hours. The Grind also offers healthier choices including grab-and-go salads, homemade scones, cereals and sandwiches that all have fresh-cut meat. Belt said the goal is to have food that isn’t processed. Another local favorite is Terra Cafe, located on Industrial Boulevard. Here, customers

can enjoy a homemade pastry or bread with their cup of coffee or tea. Wa l n u t Street is home to one of Morgantown’s premiere coffee-

houses, The Blue Moose Cafe. The cafe offers gourmet coffee drinks, smoothies, shakes and beer. This cafe also has events and entertainment several times a

week. Morgantown has many small businesses with quality coffee products for everyone. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

A&E’s guide to upcoming fall 2014 movies

seveninchesofyourtime.com

Ashley DeNardo associate a&E editor @amdenardo

It’s early on a Friday night. You’ve already finished your laundry and studied for Monday’s exam. Your friends asked you to go out, but you just aren’t feeling it. You wait outside of the Mountainlair for the Campus PM bus and hitch a ride to the mall. After window-shopping and daydreaming for an hour or so, you come upon Carmike Cinemas. Why not? You go inside, and the cashier asks what movie you would like to see. Your brow begins to sweat as you stare back blankly at the clerk.

You’ve been so busy with back-to-school stress and work you haven’t paid an ounce of attention to the upcoming movies this fall semester. To ease that stress, I’ve compiled a list of must-see movies for the upcoming months. “If I Stay,” directed by R.J. Cutler, premieres Aug. 22. The drama is based on the novel of the same name, written by Gayle Forman. The film stars actress Chloe Grace Moretz as Mia Hall, a young girl who loses her entire family in a car accident and is left in a coma. She has to decide her fate through out-of-body experiences and flashbacks. Also premiering Aug. 22 is crime thriller, “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.” This se-

comingsoon.net

quel is based on the second book in the “Sin City” series by Frank Miller who co-directs the film adaptation with Robert Rodriguez. The dramatic comedy “Birdman” comes to theaters Aug. 27, with a cast sure to draw large crowds. Michael Keaton, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton and Emma Stone come together to present a story about an actor’s struggle as he opens a Broadway play. “Birdman” is a film adaptation of a collection of short stories by Raymond Carver, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.” “The November Man,”is set to premiere Aug. 27. Starring Pierce Brosnan, the film is a spy thriller based on the novel by Bill

Granger titled “There Are No Spies.” Brosnan also coproduced the movie with Beau St. Clair who worked closely with director Roger Donaldson in the past. September will begin with the family movie sequel, “Dolphin Tale 2”.” The film premieres Sept. 12. It was filmed at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Clearwater, Fla. Stars involved in the project are Harry Connick, Jr., Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman. Five new films will be released on Sept. 19: “The Drop,” “The Maze Runner,” “This Is Where I Leave You,” “Tusk,” and “A Walk Among the Tombstones.” “The Drop” is a drama about a man named Bob Saginowski (Tom Hardy), who becomes involved with

a robbery which leads to an investigation that uncovers intense secrets. It is also the last film in which James Gandolfini participated before his death in June 2013. “The Maze Runner” is a sci-fi thriller about a group of boys trapped in a massive maze with no memory of the outside world. The main character, Thomas, has to piece together clues of his past to have any chance of escape. “This Is Where I Leave You” is a comedy about the conflict that arises between siblings after their father passes away. The cast includes popular comedy actors, Jason Bateman and Tina Fey. “Tusk” is a horror movie starring Michael Parks, Justin Long and Johnny

Depp. A podcaster goes missing in Manitoba and his best friend and others search for him. The film will have its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Vigil held to celebrate the life of Elvis Presley, King of Rock and Roll MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Holding flickering candles, fans of Elvis Presley made a slow, nighttime walk past his gravesite at Graceland on Friday, marking the anniversary of his death 37 years ago. Fans strolled quietly through the Mediation Garden at Graceland, Presley’s longtime Memphis, Tennessee, home. Presley’s grave

is in the garden, and his mother, father and grandmother are buried there. The home is now a museum and a centerpiece of the Graceland tourist attraction that draws about 500,000 fans each year from around the world. People began arriving early in the day to get a spot in line outside Graceland’s gates. Tourists also watched

Elvis tribute artists sing and dance, and visited gift shops and Elvis-related exhibits across the street from the home. The scene is repeated each year on the anniversary of the death of the King of Rock `n’ Roll. Presley died at age 42 on Aug. 16, 1977, of a heart attack, shocking and saddening his fans worldwide.

Mark Summers, 31, said it was his first time attending the vigil. Summers, of Birmingham, England, is an Elvis tribute artist who performs theater shows across Europe. Summers wore a black shirt, black pants and a hairstyle shaped like a pompadour, just like his idol. He said no other performer “could touch the charisma

he had on stage.” Summers said he admired Presley not only for his music and his act, but also for his good qualities as a person. Presley was known for giving money to charities and cars to fans. “So generous, caring, loving, spiritual, all those kinds of things,” Summers said. “Tonight is going to be really emotional.”

The vigil is a highlight of Elvis Week, an annual celebration of Presley’s career and his life. This year, other Elvis Week events have included an auction of authenticated Presley artifacts - which included a 1977 Cadillac Seville used by Presley - and the groundbreaking of a planned 450-room hotel at the Graceland tourist attraction.

ANTHONY PECORARO ASSOCIATE SPORTS EDITOR @AnthonyPecoraro

Extra instruction hours benefit all In late December 2013, a major changed occurred to college football that would – in the end – benefit all parties involved. The NCAA amended its bylaws to allow college football coaches to require their players to participate in an eight-week period this summer for up to eight hours per week of summer activities. In addition to this, all players who participated in this inaugural summer workout period had to be either enrolled in summer school or meet specific academic benchmarks. So, why is this so beneficial? With activities such as conditioning, weight training and up to two hours of film study per week being required, the WVU coaching staff was able to betterprepare their players entering fall camp. Perhaps first-year senior associate head coach Tom Bradley, who held various top coaching positions at Penn State for 34 years, put it best when he discussed what having these eight hours a week truly meant to him as a veteran coach this summer. Especially since this was his first time to get a feel of the entire Mountaineer squad. Plus, having learned a thing or two from legendary Penn State coach Joe Paterno, who he coached alongside all 34 years, doesn’t hurt. “In the past, we weren’t allowed to go out and watch what was going on in the workouts during the summer,” Bradley said. “We used to have to condition a little more during camp, and now they’re already full gear and ready to go. “We were able to coach a little bit too – it gave me a chance to get to know the players better. It wasn’t rushed, and we had time to go through things. I became more comfortable with the entire team that way.” By establishing a certain comfort level with his players, Bradley has been able to form an ideal bond with the team – before the season even begins. Head coach Dana Holgorsen might have given a perfect example of the benefits of the extra instructional time when he was asked about this rule being implemented into college football during Big 12 Media Days in Dallas. “You take Clint (Trickett) last year – first time we could actually meet with him or talk ball or do a drill with him was Aug. 1,” he said. “Now with William (Crest), he got here June 7th or whatever – that’s two months of work that we’re able to do with him that wouldn’t have existed a year ago.” So, what it comes down to for me is simple: with the NCAA finally realizing how unproductive it was without the new rule, these past few months have shown from both a player and coach perspective that the preparedness heading into the season is well ahead of any recent past season. As a result, I believe the only way to view this whole situation is in a positive way. It should result in one thing for sure this season with the Mountaineers: More success on the playing field, with a heightened chemistry level from top to bottom, this Mountaineer football squad will perhaps be able to break even in 2014 with a 6-6 record. Something that did not look too feasible at the end of the miserable 2013 season that ended in a poor 4-8 record. Fortunately for this Mountaineer squad, with

Worley leading by example for WVU defense by connor murray sports editor @CONNORKMURRAY

Heading into the 2014 season, West Virginia’s coaching staff said the depth of this Mountaineer team is the best it has been in a long time. Just a year ago, however, the same could not be said. Young and inexperienced players were thrown into live-game action and asked to learn on the fly during the Mountaineers’ dismal 4-8 2013 campaign. One of those young and inexperienced players was sophomore cornerback Daryl Worley. As a true freshman, Worley played in 11 of West Virginia’s 12 games in 2013, starting five. Throughout the season, Worley gained valuable experience at both safety and cornerback. He made an immediate impact, finishing the year with 45 tackles, five pass breakups and an interception. After proving himself a reliable option in the secondary early in his career, Worley earned the respect of West Virginia’s coaching staff and his fellow players. “You know, I thought he was special last year. For a

kid to come in as a freshman and be able to do all the things that he was doing for us on defense, he’s a special kid and a special player,” said defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. Despite the praise from his defensive coordinator, Worley said there were times when he was in over his head during his freshman season. “There were a lot of times when I was overwhelmed, and I felt like I was overthinking things and not treating it like it was just football,” he said. After going through some of those struggles on his own, Worley said he tries to pass on what he learned during those tough times to his teammates. “One thing I tell guys is to just relax and play football. Once you have mastered your technique and you know what you have to do each play in and out, you’re going to do a great job,” he said. Because of all the experience he gained during an up-and-down 2013 season, Worley is being looked to as a leader on West Virginia’s defense, something he said changed his approach on the field. “It helps me be patient and a lot calmer.

Fully recovered, Brown ready to contribute By Anthony Pecoraro Associate Sports Editor @AnthonyPecoraro

All signs were looking bright for West Virginia defensive lineman and sophomore Christian Brown entering the 2013 season. But, after an extremely unusual injury, his season took a turn for the worse – just four weeks into WVU’s second season in the Big 12 Conference. The Fort Myers, Fla. native, who played 11 games during his freshman year in 2012 at nose tackle and finished the season with 11 tackles with two tackles for loss and a forced fumble, had many eyes focused on him once his second year on the Mountaineer football team rolled around. The following Monday after being shutout 37-0 by Maryland in September, Brown suffered a weight room injury, which forced him to miss the final eight games of the season and he ultimately received a medical redshirt for the season. Before Brown set out for what he knew would be a long road back – that ended up taking four months with rehab – he said he was scared of the uncertainly that lay ahead. He said he did not have an issue staying motivated during his rehab period. “I knew when I got hurt that it could be the end of the season, but I just had to keep a positive attitude and just keep working hard, just keep going in the training room getting healthy each and every day and just trying to get back on the field as quick as I

could,” Brown said. Just about three weeks into fall camp, Brown said he’s feeling great – even with the change he’s had to encounter by moving from nose tackle to defensive end for his redshirt sophomore season. “I kind of struggled the first couple of practices that I had at defensive end, but once I got the hang of it, I kind of switched my stance up a couple of times and got it down,” he said. “But now, I feel that I have more freedom, so I can make more moves.” The added freedom stems from the abilities Brown can now do on the field for the Mountaineers in his new position – a luxury he was unable to capitalize on while playing nose tackle, as Brown explained. “Nose and defensive end are a lot different because now you have to worry about containing on the quarterback,” he said. “When you’re in the middle, you really don’t have to worry too much about the quarterback because you have the two ends on the outside.” First-year senior associate head coach Tom Bradley, who spent more than three decades coaching at Penn State, said the smooth transition he’s been able to see out of Brown on his move to defensive end has been great, especially with Brown still practicing at nose tackle to see some plays there this season. “We move Christian around. Some days he plays some (defensive) end, and some days he plays some nose (tackle). He plays both

ends,” he said. “We have two on every one, plus Christian sometimes doubles. We put him in at nose just to keep him fresh with nose, in case we have any problems.” Knowing the confidence Bradley has instilled in Brown for his new role in 2014, Brown said having to sit out for the majority of last season and knowing every ounce of work he had to put in to get back to playing at the top of his game for this season, has given him a wider perspective on the game of football. “It kind of opened my eyes a lot, because I kind of changed my way on how I play now, my attitude – it’s just made me a better player,” he said. “It was painful, but I worked hard just to get myself back healthy.” anthony.pecoraro@mail.wvu.edu

WVU’s Kelsie Maloney dribbles the ball during a 2014 preseason scrimmage against Navy.

Mountaineers hold off Midshipmen, earn preseason victory By Ryan Petrovich Sports Correspondant @DailyAthenaeum

After dropping its first scrimmage to Rutgers, the West Virginia University women’s soccer team rebounded with a win against Navy Saturday in another exhibition game at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The Mountaineers beat the Midshipmen 3-1. WVU’s team maintained possession early in the first half as it kept the Midshipmen busy inside their own zone. The Mountaineers had a chance to score two corner kicks early on, but

both were denied by Navy goalie, Dayton Wetherby. WVU midfielder Amanda Hill had another opportunity midway through the first half, but her shot flew above the goal. Navy began to take control as they nearly claimed the first goal of the game. WVU goal keeper Hannah Steadman made a close save on Navy’s first shot and then made a sliding save in the corner to secure the ball. The Mo u nt a i n e e r s struck first, as Cari Price sent a hard shot into the back of the net in the 26th minute. Her goal allowed

West Virginia to take 1-0 lead. After Price’s goal, solid play from both teams led to back and forth action to close out the first half. The Mountaineers carried their 1-0 lead into halftime. “Collectively, I thought we brought a lot of organization and understanding of the game,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “What was important to me was we applied everything we’ve been working on moving forward.” Navy started the second half off quickly as the Midshipmen almost tied the game up with a header

right near the goal. The shot flew just wide of the mark. WVU regained control early in the second half as the Mountaineers tried to connect on another corner kick. Navy’s defense was able to clear the ball. Navy managed to fly down the field on a breakaway, but Morgan Dankanich’s shot soared right. Navy came right back, as they had anther opportunity. Rachel Hunter broke away from the pack, but WVU’s defense closed in quick and stifled the chance. Hill extended the Moun-

taineers’ lead after netting the ball in the 28th minute of the second half. WVU led Navy 2-0 midway through the second half. Navy saw another breakaway, this time Annie Morgan was alone by the goal but her kick rolled directly into Steadman’s hands. The Mountaineers continued to dominate as Leah Emaus sent a deep shot that fell out of the hands of Navy’s goal keeper and rolled into the back of the net. WVU led 3-0 in the 12th minute of the second half. Navy eventually picked up a goal in the 6th minute

on a penalty kick. Dankanich booted the ball over the head of Steadman and gave the Midshipmen their first point of the game. The Mountaineers led 3-1 late in the second half. “There were times where I thought we didn’t connect the right pass or gave the ball up too early,” IzzoBrown said. “We have a lot of work to do, but it’s just trying to get into a rhythm.” In the end, WVU proved to be too much for Navy as the Mountaineers bounced back and locked up a win on their home field. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Volleyball

Kramer, WVU seek success in 2014

by nicole curtin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University volleyball team started preseason camp a couple of weeks ago, and the team has already been seeing some great strides. As head coach Jill Kramer begins her fifth season with the girls, the team was ranked No. 7 in the Big 12 preseason poll. Sophomore outside hitter, Jordan Anderson earned a spot on the Big 12 Preseason Team. After the first team training session, Kramer said she is feeling confident going into practice. “Every year has been different. This year, even though there are six new people, it seems a lot more comfortable,” Kramer said. “It just feels like we’re go-

ing in the right direction. That’s the biggest part of it. I think the preparation is all there.” Anderson led the team in 2013 in kills with 394. She was named Big 12 Rookie of the Week three times in 2013. Coming off the success of last year, Anderson said she has high hopes. “We hope to come back stronger than we were last season,” she said. “We lost a couple of people, but most of the returners were starters last year, and everyone knows the game that we should be playing.” The losses the Mountaineers took at the end of the 2013 season included four seniors and one freshman. Junior opposite hitter Nikki Attea said she thinks they have girls ready to take the positions of those players. “Our team has the ca-

pability to fill in where we lost with our seniors, a lot of it wasn’t necessarily on the court playing, but a lot of leadership positions and character things,” she said. “We only have one senior this year, Evyn (McCoy), but we have a lot of leadership in every class.” WVU’s schedule for volleyball this season includes four tournaments in the preseason and a big home game in September against Texas, which will be televised on ESPN. The game against Texas has been big for the volleyball program because the Longhorns are usually ranked very high. Kramer said having s high profile game at home is a good time to showcase her team. “I think we did a great job last year of showing the country our support of our volleyball program

here,” she said. “I think our goal is to get that type of response from our fans every night, and that’s where we really want to be. With that match, it’s a great opportunity for us to show everybody what Morgantown’s about, what WVU athletics are about and how we support all our programs here.” Members of the team also look forward to the Texas game each season, she said. Attea said she and her teammates bring high energy into the match. “When you’re playing the best team in the country, everyone wants to bring their A-game,” she said. “Everyone wants to see an upset like that. That hasn’t happened yet. But we’re looking forward to that in the future.” In terms of goals for the season, everyone has the

defending and just trying to build a relationship with our back line because we have a new back line right now,” Black said. “Just trying to build the relationship so we’re strong coming out against Penn State.” Even though the back line still has a way to go, Black said she’s impressed with how it’s coming along. She said the team already has great chemistry and it’s constantly growing each day. “Our team has great chemistry as it is, on the field and off the field,” she said. “People have already been sliding into positions and making an impact. I think as time goes, on we’ll get stronger, but right now I think we’re looking pretty good.” Black redshirted in 2013 due to an injury. “I’m considered a junior, so they consider me an upperclassmen. So, I know what Izzo-(Brown) expects and what she wants out of the team. So, I try to be a model for that sometimes.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

same long-term goal: Getting to the national tournament. Junior libero and defensive specialist, Anna Panagiotakopoulos, said their hopes for this season are not out of reach. “Everyone is like, ‘It’s not realistic,’ and I think it’s very realistic and very doable,” she said. “Last year, we were close, we just didn’t win enough games in the Big 12, we let them slip, and this year we’re taking names, we’re on a mission.” The Mountaineers will wrap up preseason play in their annual Gold and Blue scrimmage Aug. 23 at 4 p.m. in the Coliseum. The regular season will begin Friday, Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. in the Gold & Blue Players Challenge when they play Brigham Young University. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

season. “Now, we do have a target, and we need to up our level more because everyone’s upping theirs to compete with us.” Even though the Mountaineers are predicted to be three-time conference champions, there’s still a lot of work to be done before they can start talking about hoisting the trophy.

“This is a good recognition from the conference coaches, but we have a lot of work ahead of us in order to defend our titles from 2013,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown in a release. “Ultimately, it’s about where we finish at the end of the season – that’s what we’re focused on right now.” Despite being the top team in the poll, West Virginia dropped its first scrimmage game on the road against Rutgers. The Mountaineers lost 4-2. “We went up to Rutgers, (and) we were trying some new things out and we learned from it,” Black said. “We got our recovery day in, we watched the film and we’re seeing big changes, and we address the problems we see at Rutgers. I think it’s only going to make us stronger. It’s better to see those things now than before Penn State.” One of the areas the Mountaineers are trying to improve is their back line. The back line will feature some new faces during the preseason. “I’ve been working on

Don’t rule WVU out so quickly against Tide For the majority of fall camp, West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen and the rest of his coaching staff have downplayed talks of preparation for the Mountaineers’ season opener against preseason-No.2 Alabama. Although the focus of fall camp is often evaluating talent and establishing a depth chart, a game of this magnitude has to be in the back of every player and coach’s mind. The main question going around Morgantown right now is whether or not the Mountaineers can beat – or even compete with – the Crimson Tide. My answer , in short: Yes. West Virginia now has something that it lacked – and desperately needed – last season: A leader at quarterback. Redshirt senior Clint Trickett said he feels much more comfortable with the offense in his second year with the program. He has said he has taken the necessary steps to becoming a leader. Trickett, who has a plethora of talented playmakers at his disposal, will need to make good decisions in the passing game and limit turnovers against an elite Alabama defense. Interceptions plagued the Mountaineers last season, and there will be very little room for error against the Crimson Tide. Alabama’s defensive backs struggled last season against up-tempo, spread offenses and will be relatively young and inexperienced at the cornerback position. Although Alabama head coach Nick Saban is the best in the game at replacing elite talent with top-ranked recruits, I like an experienced Trickett’s odds against a true freshman cornerback. Paired with one of the nation’s most talented group of running backs, I believe West Virginia’s offense will be able to move the ball against a relatively young Alabama defense. On defense, junior linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski is a tackling machine (86 tackles in 2013), and anchors a talented group of linebackers. The Crimson Tide run more of a traditional, pro-style offense, and Kwiatkoski is the ideal middle linebacker to counteract it. Alabama will break in a new quarterback, while the Mountaineers return several ballhawks in the secondary. Sophomore Daryl Worley is probably the most talented of the group, and is the defense’s vocal leader. I look for Worley to force at least one interception from an inexperienced quarterback. With Alabama more than likely starting a true freshman at left tackle, I believe first-year defensive coordinator Tony Gibson’s multischeme defense can get after the quarterback and force a few turnovers. The talent and leadership is in place for West Virginia to earn a milestone victory against the Crimson Tide. Winning the turnover battle will be essential in pulling off the upset. If history has proved anything, the Mountaineers perform at their best on the big stage. “Is it a challenge? Yes, but we look forward to challenges,” Holgorsen said.

Wilson sharp in Seahawks’ win over San Diego SEATTLE (AP) — Russell Wilson’s first appearance at home since hoisting the Lombardi Trophy looked very similar to Seattle’s Super Bowl domination even in a limited performance. Wilson threw for 121 yards and ran for two touchdowns, leading Seattle to scores on all four of his possessions and the Seahawks beat the San Diego Chargers 41-14 on Friday night. Wilson did a little of everything. He was pressured on the first snap of the game and avoided it to complete a pass. He scrambled when the pressure created clear running lanes. He threw sharp passes to open receivers and he operated Seattle’s offense with an efficiency missing in its preseason opener at Denver. Wilson did what’s become expected. Wilson completed 11 of 13 passes, and connected on his first eight attempts. He ran for another 31 yards as Seattle finished the first half with 260 yards of offense, 255 of those with

Wilson at quarterback. Marshawn Lynch made his preseason debut for all of two plays before giving way to backups Robert Turbin and Christine Michael. Lynch held out of the first week of training camp and did not touch the ball in his two snaps. Seattle did get some of its other stars involved, including Percy Harvin who had four receptions for 31 yards after catching five passes all of last season. Turbin finished with 81 yards on 12 carries. Turbin showed open-field speed cutting back on the defense and racing for 47 yards on one carry, and displayed power bulling in for a 1-yard touchdown. Terrelle Pryor got an extended look in the competition to back up Wilson and showed why Seattle is so enticed. Pryor was 1 of 4 passing, but ran away from San Diego’s defense on a 44-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. B.J. Daniels also had a 6-yard TD run as Seattle had four touchdowns rushing from its quarterbacks.

San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers played just one series before handing off to Kellen Clemens. San Diego kept most of its starting offense on the field with Clemens, but the Chargers could manage only 42 yards against Seattle’s defensive starters, 37 of those coming on the one drive Rivers led. Rivers attempted just four passes in his limited stint. Clemens played through the third quarter and threw touchdowns of 13 yards to Keenan Allen and 3 yards to Jake Byrne. Defensive end Corey Liuget made his first appearance of the preseason after missing last week, while Eric Weddle played one series before sitting out. Defensive tackle Sean Lissemore left in the first quarter with an ankle injury, but walked off the field without help. Backup safety Jahleel Addae also left with a hamstring injury. Just when it seemed Wilson’s night should be done, he took one more series as the Seahawks worked on its hurry-up offense. The re-

Russell Wilson scrambles in for a touchdown against the Chargers. sult: Wilson took Seattle 67 yards in under 4 minutes, capping the drive with a 5-yard touchdown scramble. The drive provided the only moment of apprehension for Seattle when Doug Baldwin was knocked out

of the back of the end zone on a big hit from San Diego safety Darrell Stuckey. Baldwin was slow to get up, but was laughing on the sideline when Wilson scrambled for the TD and a 24-0 Seattle lead. Seattle also cleaned up

its penalty problems from the preseason opener when 13 flags were called against Denver and was better on third down. The Seahawks were called for three penalties in the first half and were 5 of 6 on third downs.

Schaub, Raiders rally past Stafford, Lions 27-26 OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Matthew Stafford and Detroit’s passing game looked in midseason form even with star Calvin Johnson on the sideline watching. Stafford threw touchdown passes on his first two drives of the game for Detroit before Matt McGloin threw a 19-yard TD pass to Brice Butler with 6 seconds to go to give the Oakland Raiders a 27-26 win over the Lions in an exhibition game Friday night. McGloin came in after backup Derek Carr left with injured ribs earlier in the fourth quarter and led the game-winning 68-yard drive. The victory wasn’t complete until Sebastian Janikowski kicked the 33yard extra point. That couldn’t overshadow a sharp performance from Stafford, who connected on a 28-yard pass to Golden Tate on Detroit’s second play from scrimmage and a 4-yard score to Kris Durham on the second drive.

The Lions’ first-team offense looked sharp even with Johnson held out of his second straight preseason game. Matt Schaub threw a deflected interception on his first drive and Oakland’s first-team defense struggled early. But Carr provided a spark before McGloin got the win. Schaub started well in his first home game with the Raiders, converting a pair of third downs before his throw to James Jones in coverage was deflected and intercepted by James Ihedigbo. Two plays later, cornerback Tarell Brown bit on a double move and Tate raced past him to catch a 28-yard score. Kicker Nate Freese hit the upright on the extra point from the 15-yard line. Freese, in a competition with Giorgio Tavecchio, made up for that with a 55-yard field goal in the closing seconds of the half. Stafford picked apart Oakland’s defense in his limited action, completing

9 of 10 passes for 88 yards and capping the second drive when Durham outjumped TJ Carrie for the 4-yard score. Stafford spread the ball around well, completing passes to five receivers on three drives before calling it a night. Detroit’s backup Dan Orlovsky also had success, going 8 for 12 for 153 yards and leading an 83yard TD drive to open the second half. Schaub at least ended his night on a positive note by leading a 60-yard drive that was capped by a 1-yard TD run from Darren McFadden. Schaub was nearly intercepted by Rashean Mathis early in the drive when he was late on an out pass to Rod Streater. But Schaub was helped out by a pair of penalties on Detroit after the Lions had appeared to stop the drive and then threw a 22yard screen pass to Maurice Jones-Drew to set up the score. Carr led the Raiders to a

Lions running back Reggie Bush runs through a tackle against Oakland. field goal on his first drive, throwing a 16-yard pass to Jones on a rollout for the key play. After stalling on his first drive of the second half, Carr looked sharp late in the third quarter when he completed all six passes for 76 yards on a touch-

down drive capped by a 3-yard pass to undrafted rookie tight end Jake Murphy. A 50-yard punt return by Carrie set up Janikowski’s third field goal of the night early in the fourth quarter to cut Detroit’s lead to 23-20.

But Carr left the game holding his ribs later in the fourth quarter after a hard hit from Larry Webster. Carr, Oakland’s second-round pick in May, went 9 for 16 for 109 yards and looked comfortable in the pocket against Detroit’s reserves.

Manziel not feeling pressure before Redskins game BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Johnny Manziel understands his limitations as a rookie quarterback. As he prepares for Monday night’s exhibition in Washington, a game that could decide whether he or Brian Hoyer start the regular season opener at Pittsburgh on Sept. 7, Manziel said he’s still got a lot to learn. “I don’t think I’m ready for Pittsburgh right now,” he said. Manziel, though, was quick to point out that

he’s made progress during training camp and expects to get better in Cleveland’s offense. “I’ve only played one game, but the more and more you see it, the more you get familiar with it, the better it will be,” he said. “I think there’s guys who have played in this league for a long time who can sit there after years and years of playing games and still don’t have it all figured out. It’s tricky stuff.” Manziel and Hoyer will split time with Cleve-

land’s first-team offense against the Redskins in a game that is being hyped as a nationally televised matchup between Johnny Football and RGIII, Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III. Hoyer, who entered camp as the No. 1 QB and has done nothing to lose his starting job, was unaware that he’s not part of the ratings campaign. “I don’t watch ESPN, so until you told me that I didn’t know,” he said after practice Saturday. “It

doesn’t matter, because what matters is what coach (Mike) Pettine thinks and what (offensive coordinator) Kyle (Shanahan) thinks. The media can make any story they want. I avoid all of that. When it comes down to it, they’re not the ones making the decisions.” Pettine is determined to get Hoyer and Manziel an even amount of snaps against the Redskins. Pettine plans to meet with his staff and pick a starter Tuesday.

Although Manziel appears to be line to be Cleveland’s starter at some point in the future, Hoyer said he hasn’t “heard that” and is blocking out trade speculation that began when the Browns signed Rex Grossman earlier this week. “I guess people were trying to connect the dots and that’s your job to do that,” he said. “For me, I’m not concerned about anything like that. I’m looking forward to being the starting quarterback here. “
