FIJI reinstated after suspension by laura haight staff writer @dailyathenaeum

After being suspended from the West Virginia University campus for a hazing incident, Phi Gamma Delta has been reinstated as of the 2014 spring semester. The fraternity’s charter was suspended indefinitely by Phi Gamma Delta headquarters, who then decided the suspension would last one year. Dennis Mcnamara, president of WVU’s Phi Gamma Delta chapter and a sopho-

more finance student, said he’s grateful to have his fraternity back on campus. “We were presented with a rare opportunity to build ourselves back up and start with a clean slate,” Mcnamara said. “We are looking to have a positive name on campus when speaking of FIJI.” The members who were involved with the hazing scandal in 2012 are no longer a part of the organization. Mcnamara said the members either graduated or the University punished them accordingly.

Evansdale plan to provide safer pedestrian routes

In West Virginia, hazing is considered a felony, and the University takes hazing seriously. “As a fraternity, we understand the harms of hazing and its seriousness,” Mcnamara said. “We do not condone it.” Mcnamara said he hopes Phi Gamma Delta can put the incident behind them and move on. “We look forward to this opportunity to show that our fraternity can grow and be productive while not having hazing be a part of our organization,” he said.

The fraternity took a new pledge class this semester and is working to make the experience positive. “We understand this is a privilege, not a right,” Mcnamara said. “We are now doing our best to move on and take steps forward in becoming one of WVU’s best fraternities on campus.” The fraternity will move back into its house in fall 2014, as another on-campus fraternity currently resides in the house. Brian Beal, treasurer of Phi Gamma Delta and

a junior finance student, said he’s excited to reclaim ownership of the house. “We’re all very excited about it. Having a house is important for any fraternity, so we’re all really happy that we’ll be able to move back in next semester,” he said. Beal said the University has helped them tremendously in their efforts to reinstate their chapter on campus. “We want to thank the University for its support in our goal to come back and making that goal a reality,”

he said. Beal said he’s eager to participate in philanthropies and community service again with his brothers. “Other Greek organizations on campus are happy to see us returning, as is the FIJI National Headquarters,” Beal said. “I’m excited for the opportunity we have been given by Nationals and the University to come back and do our part to improve Greek life and the community.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Safety for students on campus has always been a concern for West Virginia University and its staff. During Friday’s Board of Governors meeting, the Evansdale Campus Infrastructure and Redevelopment Plan was approved. The plan is part of a 10year Campus Master Plan that will include new academic buildings, renovations to existing facilities, new housing, reconfigured roadways and intersections, new walkways and parking, more lighting and signs, and additional green space. Becky Lofstead, assistant vice president of University Communications, said $8.6

million has been allotted for the infrastructure improvements, but the entire Evansdale Project is in the range of $250 million. This redevelopment will contribute to the quality of life on campus for students, faculty, staff and visitors. “We have a truly great campus, and this will enhance it even more, with additional academic, instructional, research, living and recreational spaces that dovetail with our 2020 Strategic Plan for the Future,” Lofstead said. “The Evansdale plan also incorporates improvements to pedestrian and vehicular conflict points and integrates the typography challenges in this area to make it more accessible

West Virginia University has many diverse extracurricular activities for students. One such option is the WVU Livestock Judging Team. The Livestock Judging Team gives students the opportunity to travel and learn more about the livestock industry. The team recently participated in the Dixie National Intercollegiate Beef Judging Contest held in Jackson,

Miss. This was the team’s first completion, and they placed fourth in each of the categories, including overall team score. The team is coached by Scott Bowdridge, assistant professor of animal science, and Taylor Harrison, an animal physiology graduate student. Amanda Kline, a senior animal and nutritional sciences student and member of the Livestock Judging Team, said she got involved with the team last

Shack Neighborhood House provides low-cost community programs by caroline peters staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Since 1928, The Shack, a nonprofit fiscal agent of the Monongalia County Starting Points Program, has provided families the opportunity to grow. From day care to family fun nights, the organization works to keep the cost of learning and recreation low for families in the area. Sharon Jackson, the director of The Shack, said the program helps people of all ages. “Through Monongalia County, we have managed to open up programs where a caregiver can drop off a child if they have something to do,” Jackson said. “We offer a before-school and after-school program for elementary kids, tutoring,

arts and crafts, and community service projects.” The buildings are rented out in the evening for basketball groups. In the summer, The Shack offers swimming lessons and day camp. Jackson said The Shack’s programs come at a very low cost to families. “Almost everything we offer is free. If not, it is set on a really low income base,” she said. “The highest a family will pay is $55 a week for day care and $50 a semester for an after-school program. Scholarships are also available for those who qualify.” The Shack also provides an opportunity for community service. “We’re here to provide an inclusive, safe and fun environment for learning and recreation,” Jackson said. “We have lots of volunteers.

There are most likely over 450 total volunteers.” The Shack offers a “happy school” program which allows children ages 3-5 years old to attend preschool. The organization also provides “Parents take a break,” which allows parents to drop off nonschool-aged children, developmental screening and family fun nights. Becky Harlan, a mother of two children, said The Shack gave her family an opportunity to become involved in the community. “It’s given me a sense of community,” she said. “I’ve gotten to know other moms. It has given my children a chance to socialize with other kids, and The Shack has helped teach my kids listen, follow directions and sit still for a long

B&E speaker offers wisdom to young entrepreneurs by daniel schatz staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Don Panoz, former Chief Executive Officer of Mylan Pharmaceuticals, visited the Erickson Alumni Center at West Virginia University Tuesday evening to tell his life story and share the lessons of success he learned along the way. Panoz was also given an award from the WVU College of Business & Economics for his great success and significant achievements as an entrepreneur. Growing up, Panoz was always a productive and skilled moneymaker. As a child in the 1940s, the young Panoz worked at a bowling alley setting up pins, and this humble be-

ginning only set the stage for a billion dollar career that was yet to come. When Panoz was 26 years old, he cofounded Mylan Phar maceuticals, then known as Milan Pharmaceuticals, with his friend from the military, Milan “Mike” Puskar in White Sulfur Springs, W.Va. The formation of Milan Pharmaceuticals made Panoz the youngest CEO of a pharmaceutical company in the nation, and under his administration, the company grew into a profitable company that now serves more than 140 countries and territories globally. During the 1970s, Panoz created Elan Corporation, a company based in Ireland that operated a chain of health and beauty stores

around the country. The company made hefty capital during its first several years in business, and in the 1980s the enterprise became the first Irish company to be listed on the United States stock exchange. Panoz spoke vehemently about certain values and customs that were essential to his success as an entrepreneur like charity, legacy and responsibility. “As you move through life, be it $5 or $5 million, you have to give back the successes that you have,” Panoz said. With an entire ballroom of students in front of him, Panoz said leaving a positive legacy is important to ensure a habit of success for the future. “You have to make

wherever you are better than it was when you arrived,” Panoz said. “You always have to make it better when you finish than when you started.” After experiencing huge financial success throughout his life, Panoz offered wisdom for students looking to someday start a company or find work as entrepreneurs. “One word of advice: make yourself indispensable by always doing the stuff everybody else won’t, take the lead, accept the challenge, be responsible, be on time and early, and then get to know the business so well that you can start thinking creatively of how you would make it better,” Panoz said. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Few creditors question W.Va. spill company CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A handful of the hundreds of creditors seeking compensation from the company at the center of West Virginia’s chemical spill that deprived residents of usable tap water for days questioned top executives Tuesday in bankruptcy court. At a creditors meeting administered by a U.S. Department of Justice official, Freedom Industries President Gary Southern and Chief Financial Officer Terry Cline answered questions on company finances from a federal trustee and fewer than 10 attorneys representing creditors. About 240 creditors are seeking payback from the company. Many of them are businesses and residents who sued for lost wages and profits, since they were forced to shut down for days without clean water. The bankruptcy filing has frozen the suits temporarily. After more than a month of bankruptcy proceedings,

According to Kline, a competition is made up of placing and oral reasoning scores. Each class placed gives the team member an

Freedom Industries announced last week in court that it would wind down its operations. Southern told reporters after the hearing Tuesday he’s “absolutely committed” to cleaning up environmental damage and finding jobs for 51 employees as the company winds down operations. “This has been an extremely traumatic event for everybody to deal with, particularly our employees,” Southern said outside Robert C. Byrd U.S. District Courthouse in Charleston. The company’s environmental cleanup bill topped $911,000 in January after one of its tanks leaked chemicals into the water supply for 300,000 people on Jan. 9. For days, nine counties were told not to use their tap water except for putting out fires or flushing toilets. The water-use ban has been lifted for a month, but many residents are sticking with bottled water. From the start of last

week through mid-March, Freedom Industries company planned for another $1.7 million in various environmental costs, court documents show. Southern said the company had already sold off almost all of its chemicals as it prepares to start demolishing its Charleston facility by March 15, per state orders. It was storing about $5.4 million worth of chemicals as of a Feb. 17 court filing. In court Tuesday, Southern detailed ties to two companies that received millions of dollars from Freedom Industries in the last year. Southern said he has been Freedom Industries’ president since a merger in December. Before then, he said he worked as a consultant for the company since 2009 with a firm named Blackwater. Freedom Industries paid Blackwater $1.2 million in the year leading up to its bankruptcy filing. Southern said he also worked with Enviromine Inc., which re-

ceived $3.8 million from Freedom Industries over the same year, court documents show. But Southern said he doesn’t have an ownership stake in either. Enviromine lists Southern as its president in West Virginia corporation records. Southern manages Blackwater Consulting Group LLC in Naples, Fla., near his home in Marco Island, but declined to say if that was the company in question. “I don’t care to discuss that,” Southern told the Associated Press, regarding ties to Blackwater. The transfers to Blackwater and Enviromine are part of $6 million Freedom Industries paid to executives and associated companies in the year before filing for bankruptcy, court documents show. If some of the company’s payments to officers and closely tied companies are deemed out of line, they could be clawed back under bankruptcy law. The money would end up in a

Cattle, swine, sheep and goats are the different animals the team works judges. For Kline, judging is providing her with knowledge she can apply to her future as she aspires to be a veterinarian. “I’ve been around animals my whole life and want to emphasize in large animal medicine,” Kline said. “I wanted to go further and become competitive, so hopefully one day I can go out to a farm call and judge. I can take what I have learned from judging and put it into action as a veterinarian.” Bradley Rodeheaver, a senior agribusiness management and rural development student and team

member, said he has been involved with livestock judging at WVU for several years now, but it is something he has been familiar with since childhood. “I’ve been around livestock my whole life. I grew up on my family farm so judging livestock is basically second nature,” Rodeheaver said. “The livestock industry has been a part of me since I was a little kid. That’s the reason I wanted to judge.” He said the team helped him build confidence through oral reasoning. Rodeheaver said he enjoys the travel and bonding experience the team provides. “My favorite part of judging is probably traveling. You get to see a lot of really cool farms and really nice operations,” he said. “Traveling is a lot of bonding experience. You learn a lot about your teammates and it is a good time anytime we go somewhere.” He said he is proud of

Kulathumani said she believes The Shack has allowed families from other countries learn about the county’s culture. “It’s really wonderful for those who come from other countries. The Shack is a good place for international people to get involved and learn about the culture here,” Kulathumani said. “It also helps them improve their English.

Radio show features Haley Slagle BY SAM BOSSERMAN A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

An entertaining performance given by the talented Haley Slagle was featured on this week’s edition of Morgantown Sound, WWVU-FM’s weekly, live music show recorded from inside the Gluck Theatre of the Mountainlair. Slagle was joined onstage by a full band, comprised of Michael Stewart on bass, Bryan Smith on drums, William Matheny on piano and Jeremy Batten on electric guitar. Slagle’s vocal performance helped convey the emotion and passion in her song lyrics, with the band providing a great complementary beat. According to Slagle, everyone in the band works well together, which helps bring the songs to life for the audience. “I feel like we have a really good group,” Slagle said. “I would hope that everybody would have a good time.” Slagle described her music as alternative country and listed Patty Griffin as

having a major influence on her as a musician. Having been in the area for quite some time and even having previously performed at Morgantown Sound, Slagle said she thinks the region is a good place for musicians. However, Slagle said she would like to see earlier shows offered at local venues, stating the current late times of shows deter a large demographic of music lovers from coming out. Band member Batten said he enjoys playing with Slagle and always has a fun time on stage with her. “It’s fun and the songs are great,” Batten said. “Haley (Slagle) writes all the music herself.” According to Batten, one reason the band is so compelling is the contrast between Slagle’s deep lyrics and the band’s upbeat tone. “We have lyrics that are about difficult issues to talk about juxtaposed with really happy arrangements,” Batten said. Batten said the band’s chemistry is the result of many years of playing together in one band or

‘Late Night’ and ‘The Tonight Show’ fare better than previous seasons NEW YORK (AP) — Nielsen says Seth Meyers is off to a good start hosting NBC’s “Late Night.” The premiere of “Late Night with Seth Meyers” averaged 3.4 million viewers in “fast official” ratings from Nielsen. NBC says that’s the biggest audience for a Monday “Late Night” in nine years. The network says it also beat the 2009 debut of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” by more than a half-million viewers.

Fallon began last week as host of “The Tonight Show.” On Monday, he drew 6.3 million viewers. That’s the largest Monday audience for “Tonight” in four years, when Jay Leno returned as host to replace Conan O’Brien. “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” topped Monday’s combined audience for CBS’ “Late Show with David Letterman” and ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in the time period.

Rosemary Harris to star in Tom Stoppard’s ‘Indian Ink’ NEW YORK (AP) — Rosemary Harris has been lured back onto a New York stage for the upcoming revival of Tom Stoppard’s “Indian Ink.” The Roundabout Theatre Company said Tuesday that

Harris will star in the romantic tale, with performances to begin Sept. 4 at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. It follows a free-spirited poet on her travels through

India in the 1930s against the backdrop of a country seeking independence. Harris will play the poet’s sister. Harris won a Tony Award in 1967 for “The Lion in Winter” and earned an Os-

car nomination for “Tom & Viv,” but may be best known as Aunt May in Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” films. Her last Broadway show was Athol Fugard’s play “The Road to Mecca” in 2012.

host benefit for WVU University Singers BY Westley Thompson & LACEY PALMER DA STAFF @dailyathenaeum

Tonight, music lovers can get a taste of reggae, ska, bluegrass, country and metal all in one place while also contributing to a great, University-related cause. This American Choral Directors Association concert benefits to support the West Virginia University Singers and their upcoming trip to New York City where they will sing with a New York-based and esteemed symphony orchestra.The benefit concert will be held beginning at 9 p.m. at 123 Pleasant Street. “We were invited to sing at Lincoln Center in New York,” said Jeffrey Redding, WVU University Singers director and music professor. “We will be joined with choirs from around the country to sing the ‘Schubert Mass in G’ with the New York Philharmonic, New York’s premier symphony orchestra. University Singers will also be performing a solo set, and this concert will help

support this wonderful opportunity.” This is the second concert to benefit all groups of WVU Choirs, which are making progress daily. “It’s amazing to see the choir program moving in this direction,” said Sophia Enriquez, a sophomore music education student and WVU Community Choir member. “There is so much talent in the school of music, and it needs to be seen and heard.” The concert will feature local groups I Am A Sea Creature (reggae/ska), Harmony Creek Junction (bluegrass/country) and Red Pen Police (metal) – all of which feature WVU students. “123 is a great venue, pretty much the local music venue,” said John Scherch, a junior vocal performance student who coordinated the benefit concert. “All three of these bands feature students in the College of Creative Arts.” The cover charge for the event is $5, and doors open at 8 p.m. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Blood donation policy is outdated, homophobic On Red Cross signs advertising blood drives, you’ll often see slogans like, “Save a Life, Donate Today,” or “Area Donors Critically Needed.” If donors are in such high demand and donations are of such vital importance, why are healthy donors sent away from blood drives every day? In 1983, in a futile attempt to respond to the rising AIDS crisis in the U.S., the FDA enacted a blatantly homophobic policy prohibiting blood donations from men who had sex with other men after 1977 and from women who had sex with such men within the previous year. Despite the advances in medicine, science and understanding in the 30 years that have passed since it was set in place, this ban still exists today. This policy not only reinforces the message that homosexuals are second-class citizens, it also limits the supply of available blood. In accordance with the FDA’s backward, outdated donation guidelines, wellmeaning organizations like the Red Cross are forced to turn away gay men who are attempting to selflessly help those in need. Besides being morally repugnant, this policy is

downright impractical. All blood samples collected by organizations like the Red Cross are submitted to two separate tests that ensure no infected donations are accepted. These are highly accurate, medical-industry standard tests designed to detect the presence of the HIV virus in its earliest stages. This outrageous policy was brought to the attention of the West Virginia University community by SGA Vice President Ben Seebaugh and one of the participants in the Dancing With Our Mountaineer Stars competition. Seebaugh, who is openly gay, encouraged other gay students to try to donate blood during Monday’s Red Cross blood drive event promoting the danc-

ing competition. “Even those who know ahead of time that they will be denied due to sexual orientation, we are encouraging them to go and try as a way to bring attention to the issue,” Seebaugh said in an interview with The Daily Athenaeum before the event.

Anyone else ably felt like her rights were The cliche of hardworking, punctual, ambitious Germans is hard to do away with, both in the way Germans perceive themselves and are perceived by others, but Germans are in fact much more diverse, funloving and tolerant than their stereotypical image would have it. They are also more sly and less orderly than popularly thought. When we make jokes and stereotype another culture, we neglect to remember our own negative past. Have we forgotten about slavery or the genocide of Native Americans? Stereotyping another culture based on the negative actions of a few within the group is unfair and biased. Just because a few members of the culture have done wrong things, it does not mean everyone associated with that group is the same. In all instances, stereotypes are radical, unfair assumptions that put up barriers in a world on the brink of globalization. At a time when so many around the world are begging for peace and equality, stereotypes need to find their way out of existence.

Germany:

Dealing with a dark past SARAH COOPER GUEST COLUMNIST

Though World War II ended in May 1945 with the surrender of the Nazis, Germans are finding themselves in the middle of a new war. As it often seems to be a favorite past time of many to playfully joke about Germany’s Nazi past, the stereotype is taking a toll on people living in a country that is still trying to move past its negative history. We neglect to acknowledge that Germany – a country with a recent and dark past – has evolved into an extremely successful society. However, we also tend to forget how unfair it is to stereotype an entire country based on the actions of a few individuals. I never realized how concerning this issue was until I lived in Hildesheim, G er many dur ing the summer of 2013 where I attended classes and spoke to young children who were learning English at Goethegymnasium Hildesheim. I was required to interview and conduct small conversations with children 8-15 years old. I anticipated receiving questions concerning the stereotypical lifestyle of an everyday American, but was surprised when there were none. I found most asked me the same thing. They wanted to know what we thought of them. “Do you think we’re all Nazis?” I was asked. After multiple interviews, I began to notice that very few of the children held stereotypes about Americans, yet they knew at such a young age the world pegged them as Nazis because of the decisions of previous generations. What we don’t realize is that, even during the war, many Germans challenged and disagreed with the Nazi ideas around

them. “ My g re a t- g ra n d p a went to war as a soldier and showed support for the Nazis. My greatgrandmother was so upset with him that while he was away she re-married and started her life over,” said my German host sister. “When the war ended and he returned, he discovered what had happened and our family exiled him. We never had much contact with him and when he died, we weren’t allowed to attend his funeral.” Even during my visit to Berlin in June 2013 – 24 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall – I saw graffiti that read “No Nazis” plastering city walls, and I encountered a distraught German man in his 60s, speaking rapidly and bringing himself to tears at the Brandenburg Gate – a site where the Berlin Wall was once constructed – dividing Berlin into East and West sectors. Alongside a memorial depicting the names of those who died desperately trying to defeat the barrier, my tour guide calmed him down and he walked away shaking his head. Later we would learn that the man felt as though justice still wasn’t served and his brother who had died at the wall wasn’t being represented properly. He wanted the story that troubled his heart to be told. The German people are still struggling with disassociation and issues arising from the reunification of the two sectors and the war, yet they’re a country that has been split into parts and rebuilt as more efficient than ever. With fields of solar panels, bins available for rec ycling around ever y corner, accessible public transportation, universal health care and companies that pay their consumers for returning used products to be recycled, Germany has soared technologically. They’ve grown to become a strong

taken away. Police Chief Art Acevedo of Austin said if he had arrested the woman, he would’ve charged her with resisting arrest. Maybe legally she was resisting arrest, but common sense says she was scared for her life. If I were ever arrested in this way, I would have the same reaction. But maybe Austin is a crime-free zone. Maybe Austin PD is reduced to ticketing these kinds of offenses. AustinTexas.gov reports that more than 2,448 motor vehicle thefts happened in the area in 2012. In the same year, there were 1,980 aggressive assaults, 219 rapes and a whopping 108 arsons. So maybe not. This story is capturing the eyes of the nation and for good reason. Police officers should not be fulfilling a quota of tickets. They are here to protect us. It’s nice to know Austin PD is protecting us from the dreaded jaywalker. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you are more in touch with your feelings, especially when surrounded by friends. You are likely to experience a range of emotions, so give yourself space to process them. Your creativity emerges, which will save situations from becoming too difficult. If you are single, you will find that your sense of humor often is not the same as that of your date. If you are attached, the two of you often trigger each other’s playfulness. You also become very feisty when you’re together. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH Understand that sometimes your expectations might not be very realistic. Your reaction to a situa-

tion where this proves true might be quite startling. Walk away from an angry friend or loved one. Give yourself time to calm down. Tonight: Could go till the wee hours. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You will be on top of a situation, as you know exactly what to do. Others simply might not see the situation in the same light, which might make it difficult to move forward. Optimism surrounds a new purchase or key conversation with a loved one. Tonight: Chat up a storm. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Listen to news with your focus on your long-term goals. Be careful with money, as you could have an unexpected windfall heading your way. Hold off on going on a shopping spree for now. Do not put off a key conversation. Tonight: Reach out

to a relative at a distance. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH If an associate, partner or loved one finally seems ready for a talk, and he or she seeks you out, seize the moment; this mood will not last forever. You’ll want to be sure of yourself and make sound choices. Let a loved one express his or her point of view. Tonight: Be direct. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH You’ll want to do what you want to do, and you’re likely to jolt someone with your spontaneity. You have a way of startling others that allows you to see more of their personality. A conversation can’t be taken back, even if you apologize. Tonight: Be around good music. VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Your ability to get down to brass

tacks could startle a partner who might be used to the more easygoing you. Use care with your finances, especially if hanging out with big spenders. You easily could overspend or miscount your change. Tonight: Where the good times are. LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH You might want to rethink a personal matter, especially as the other party involved could act in an unpredictable manner. Understand what is happening rather than lose your temper. Remain sensitive to a boss; this person could have some good news. Tonight: Time to celebrate! SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Be aware of the cost of proceeding as you have been, and assess the possible ramifications. You will see more if you detach from the here and now. Have a conversation with

a friend or loved one who can give you some insight. Tonight: Make it a fun evening! SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH You will be able to gain greater insight into a personal matter than you thought possible. You must be willing to hear the other side of the story. Imagine being that person, as he or she explains it. You could be surprised at your change of heart. Tonight: Hang out with pals. CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Once more, you’ll have an opportunity to express your knowledge of money. You have pushed hard to gain a reputation in this area, and your confidence will help others feel at ease. Be careful, as a potential backfire could occur. Tonight: Your time to play.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH You might regret a comment you recently made. Make an effort to clear the air, and do your best to get to the bottom of a problem. Others seem to respond well to you right now, so use some of that magic to get in their good graces. Tonight: As you like it. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HH Take your time when dealing with a key person. You might feel as if he or she is responsible for a lot of the uproar in your life. Remember, you could decide to put an end to the uproar. Rethink who is responsible. Tonight: Choose a favorite scene.

Meet the stars

This week, we’ll feature the 15 couples performing in Saturday night’s Dancing With Our Mountaineer Stars

Kyle Monroe/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Jack Lake and Ariel Fink Ariel Fink and Jack Lake are teaming up to win this weekend’s Dancing With Our Mountaineer Stars. Though Lake may not be an experienced dancer, Fink’s skills and hard work could lead them to a win. Lake, the star, graduated from West Virginia University’s P.I. Reed School of Journalism. During his time here at WVU, he was the Community Service Chair for the Public Relations Student Society of America. Lake is now working for the American Red Cross as the Recruitment and Donor Representative for WVU and Monongalia County. Because the American Red Cross is sponsoring a blood drive to accom-

pany the competition, it was only natural for Lake to participate. “I thought this would be a fun way to participate beyond the blood drive,” Lake said. Fink, the dancer, is a current graduate student in the College of Business & Economics, pursuing a master’s degree in human resources and industrial relations. A seasoned performer, she loved performing to a packed coliseum of over 14,000 people for the Big East games, as a four-year member of the WVU Dance Team. As a third-time participant in the competition, Link is completely comfortable with her routine. She does, how-

ever, have some reservations about her partner, who has never performed in front of a crowd in this way. “Jack is a very good dancer, but I am often reminded of how difficult it is to break down a routine for someone who has not spent countless hours perfecting a routine,” Fink said. But all in all, this pair is extremely hard working. Lake expressed how great of a teacher Fink is and that her ability to break down each dance move is what makes it all possible. “We complement each other very well,” Link said. “Jack is very creative and brings a sense of humor to our practices.” —jaj

Raven Lamp and Sam Richardson As president of the Order of Omega and member of the Sigma Nu fraternity, 20-year-old Samuel Richardson is no stranger to the spotlight, participating in events such as Airbands during Greek Week. This Saturday, Richardson will have all eyes on him yet again when he and partner Raven Lamp, the dancer, dance to a mix of songs in this year’s Dancing With Our Mountaineer Stars. “I became involved in the competition initially because of my vast involvement as a student at WVU,” Richardson said. “I watched the competition last year and was 100 percent positive that if I was offered the opportunity to dance, I would definitely do

it. The competition is fun and friendly, and supports a good cause through the American Red Cross.” Lamp, 18, is an education student from Martinsburg, W. Va. who was randomly selected to be one of the dancers in the competition. “It’s definitely been challenging trying to teach a non-dancer some new moves,” Lamp said. “I’m not usually nervous. Hopefully, Sam and I can remember the steps and perform to our best ability, while everyone enjoys our dance.” The dancer was given high praises from her partner in regard to her artistic abilities. “Raven (Lamp) has been an amazing partner to work with,” Richardson said. “I had

a vision of how I wanted our routine to go, and she critiqued it and used her artistic talents to create the music and the dance all on her own. I couldn’t be happier with our routine, and it’s all thanks to Raven.” For Richardson, the competition is about having fun and performing well, but more importantly it’s about giving to charity. “I am most excited to see everyone else’s performances,” Richardson said. “I have a lot of friends in the competition, and I want to see how they do. Secondly, I am excited to see how many students and Greeks will come out to give blood and help save lives.” —naw

Patrick Garcia and Samantha Di Carlo Patrick Garcia and Samantha Di Carlo are returning to Dancing With Our Mountaineer Stars. Trouble might be brewing for the pair, though, with little practice. Garcia, a senior biology student at West Virginia University and star of this pairing, is a RA for Braxton Tower and a former SGA executive councilman. This will be his second time competing with partner Di Carlo. “I am in the competition again this year because my partner gave me puppy dog eyes when she asked me.

Who could say no to that?” Garcia said. “And, I also had a great time dancing last year.” Garcia said he is, by no means, a dancer, but he is a performer. As the second runnerup in Mountaineer Idol, he’s used to the spotlight. And as a member of the WVU Boxing team, he may even be lighter on his feet than Di Carlo. Di Carlo, the vice president of Delta Gamma and the dancer, is a fun-loving performer. The pair know each other outside of the

competition and enjoy making rehearsals fun. Audience members can expect to bust a gut laughing from the couple’s introduction video. Though they may be having fun, they may be having too much fun. Garcia only finished compiling their music selection this week. But, something must be going right as the pair won second place in last year’s competition. “I have moves like Jagger, and my hips don’t lie,” Garcia said. “So, it’ll be pretty entertaining dancing with Sam.” —jaj

Paul Garton and Megan Petersen When couple Megan Petersen and Paul Garton take the stage Saturday night in the Dancing With Our Mountaineer Stars competition, they will be dancing to a unique mix of tunes from the classic musical “Grease,” which Petersen created. Petersen, a 19-yearold strategic communications student from Philadelphia, learned about the competition while working as an intern for Mountaineer Idol this past fall. Since she had prior dance experience, she thought

it might be something she would be interested in. “Paul’s great. He picked up the dance fast due to our busy schedules, and he’s a pretty quick learner,” Petersen said. “I haven’t performed since my senior year of high school back at home. It will be interesting to have a new audience.” Twenty-two -yearold Paul Garton is a student in the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences and is also excited to be a part of the competition. He was asked to participate in the dance

contest after being named 2013’s Mr. Mountaineer. As a member of the WVU Marching Band and the basketball pep band, Garton is used to performing in front of large crowds. “Megan has been a great partner to work with,” Garton said. “She makes the rehearsals easy and fun for an inexperienced dancer like myself.” Like many of the contestants, Petersen and Garton look forward to seeing what other couples have been working on. —naw

The cast of the new comedy, ‘Mixology,’ talk bar behavior, upcoming episodes

NEW YORK (AP) — ABC’s newest comedy “Mixology” isn’t your standard “boy meets girl but obstacles keep them apart for a while” story. Instead, the first season follows six women and five men who meet in a New York City bar over the course of just one night. (Flashbacks help round out the characters and give them back stories.) Couples who pair up early on in the beginning might not end up together at the end of the 13-episode season. “(Co-creator) Jon Lucas calls it a romantic mystery,” said cast member Blake Lee in a recent interview. “You watch a romantic comedy and you know that the two lead characters will at the end of the movie somehow find each other and be in love and this, you might be rooting for two characters at the beginning and then two or three episodes later they’ll meet a different character and you’ll be like, ‘I want to see what happens there!’” The actors even admit to

being surprised by how the story ended up. “At the beginning we didn’t know who ended up with who, “said co-star Vanessa Lengies, who is best known for her role as Sugar Motta on “Glee.” “I remember reading the second to last episode and it ended up on a cliffhanger and I was like, gasp!” “Mixology” is the first TV project for Lucas and Scott Moore, who are behind “The Hangover” films. It premieres Wednesday at 9:30 p.m. ET. Lee, Lengies and cast member Andrew Santino, answer questions about their own bar behavior: AP: What’s your alcoholic beverage of choice? Blake Lee: “I like a really dirty martini.” Vanessa Lengies: “I do, too.” Lee: “She can also drink as much as I can and I’m 6’2”.” Andrew Santino: “And when he says as many he means two and then they’re out for the night.” L ee: “ Yeah, we’re lightweights.”

Lengies: “You shouldn’t have more than two.” Santino: “I’m a Bulleit Bourbon on the rocks.” Lee: “You know what I also really like, a moscow mule.” AP: Do you subscribe to the saying “beer before liquor, never sicker”? Lee: “I mix it all. I say who cares. Just let go. Just have fun ... As long as you drink a regimented amount then you’re fine. If you had a glass of wine, then a beer, then a drink later at night it doesn’t matter. If you’re having 10 beers and then four shots and then a couple Captain diets you’re gonna feel terrible. It’s not the mixing it’s that you’ve drank 100 of them.” Santino: “I feel like sugary drinks are what always make me feel bad, like margaritas.” Lee: “Yeah, because the logic of it is you’re just chugging sugar. Like if you did that without booze you’d still feel terrible.” Lengies: “We should do PSAs about this.” AP: What’s your hangover remedy?

The cast of ‘Mixology’ poses for a group photo. Lee: “My mother loves her wine, OK? And she has always said drink like a bottle of water and take two Advil before you go to sleep. ... You wake up with-

out a hangover and she’s right.” Santino: “I do drink water before I go to bed but then in the morning have a beer and a burger. A juicy,

greasy burger and another beer because it’s like hair of the dog as my dad always says.” Lee: “A bloody mary works too.”

FIGHT TO THE FINISH

West Virginia looks for a sweep of No. 15 Iowa State, travels to take on Cyclones by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia men’s basketball team will try to get back to its winning ways tonight as they travel to Ames, Iowa for an 8 p.m. matchup against No. 6 Iowa State. WVU (15-12, 7-7 Big 12) saw its NCAA Tournament chances diminish Saturday with a loss against Baylor, losing 88-75 at the WVU Coliseum. T h e Mo u n t a i n e e r s could, however, rejoin the tournament discussion with a road victory over

the Cyclones and perhaps a home win against Kansas next week. “We didn’t stop them at all,” said West Virginia head coach Bob Huggins. “You can’t let (Baylor) go down and score at will, which we did. I’ve never had a group that was worse defensively than what we are.” The Mountaineers were led in scoring by Eron Harris with 32 points, while Juwan Staten chipped in with 16 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Baylor shot 57 percent in the first half and 45 percent from the 3-point

line, while Royce O’Neale scored a career high 22 points on 8-8 shooting. “We had a hard time scoring the ball and they seemingly scored at will,” Huggins said. “They just played really well, (and) did a good job in isolation situations. They had some guys step up that we didn’t expect.” The Mountaineers were without Terry Henderson Saturday, and Huggins says he’s unsure of his status going forward. WVU has now lost three of its last four games at the most critical stretch of the season.Only four reg-

ular season games remain on the schedule, which includes Oklahoma and Kansas next week. The Cyclones (215, 9-5 Big 12) have won three straight games and are coming off a 71-60 victory over TCU. The Mountaineers defeated Iowa State 102-77 Feb. 10, thanks to a near triple-double from Staten, who posted 19 points, nine assists and seven rebounds. The margin of defeat was the largest against a ranked opponent since 2006. Iowa State is led by senior forward Melvin

Ejim, who averages 18.9 points and 8.4 rebounds. The Mountaineers limited him to six points on 1-9 shooting earlier this month. As a team, the Cyclones shot just 36.6 percent from the floor and 17 percent from 3-point range. “The good and bad thing about this league is you have an opportunity every game,” Huggins said. “We’ve still got plenty of opportunity for some signature wins.” Iowa State leads the series 2-1 all-time. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

No. 11 West Virginia to take on Texas Tech

GREG MADIA MULTIMEDIA EDITOR @GREGMADIA

Bradley hire the right move

West Virginia football head coach Dana Holgorsen made the right decision to add former Penn State assistant Tom Bradley to his coaching staff. Bradley brings his 33 years of experience to Morgantown. Other than the stigma that lingers because of the Jerry Sandusky scandal, there is no reason why this isn’t a great hire for West Virginia. Bradley spent 2000-11 as the defensive coordinator for the Nittany Lions. Bradley has coached just about every position on the defensive side of the ball, too. He’s coached defensive ends, linebackers, safeties and cornerbacks. In State College, Bradley sent Penn State standouts like Lavar Arrington, Sean Lee and Paul Posluszny into the NFL. The experience Bradley brings will only help WVU first-year defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. Holgorsen hiring Bradley as an overseer and tutor to Gibson is maybe the best addition to the staff Holgorsen has made since taking over in the summer of 2011. And the fit between Bradley and Gibson is natural. Bradley has already successfully made all the adjustments that Gibson will have to make this season going from position coach to coordinator while changing the position group that he coaches. Most importantly, Bradley knows how to face adversity as the interim head coach in Happy Valley for four games following the loss of Joe Paterno. On the field WVU will benefit from Bradley, but the recruiting trail is where he can make the biggest impact. Coming to Morgantown allows Bradley to be able to recruit in his own backyard of Pennsylvania. That gives Holgorsen two great recruiters in the Keystone State with Bradley and Gibson. The former Penn State assistant was named the Big Ten Recruiter of the Year by Rivals.com in 2010 while recruiting star players in-state. Gibson just landed four-star cornerback Dravon Henry, arguably the most sought after player in the western part of the state. Gibson has great relationships with high school coaches in western Pennsylvania, and Bradley is respected by coaches across the state after working at its landmark institution for his entire career. With neighboring Big Ten Coaches, James Franklin at Penn State and Urban Meyer at Ohio State trying to land top players in Pennsylvania, luring players to Morgantown will not be easy. Having Gibson and Bradley work hand-inhand on and off the field to combat opposing defenses and recruiting powers is sharp thinking by Holgorsen. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Guard Christal Caldwell drives past an Oklahoma State defender.

by jon fehrens sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia women’s basketball team will seek its eighth consecutive victory against Texas Tech today 7 p.m. in the WVU Coliseum. WVU is now 24-3 overall and 13-2 inside the Big 12. West Virginia defeated the Lady Red Raiders on their home court Jan. 22, 70-51. The Mo u n t a i n e e r s moved up two spots to No. 11 in the AP poll after a 61-

40 win over Kansas State in Manhattan, Kansas, Sunday. In that game senior guard Christal Caldwell used 14 points in the opening half to spark her team early. Senior center Asya Bussie also chipped in 10 points and grabbed six boards. Caldwell finished her night with 21 points. S u n d ay ’s matchup marked the fifth opponent of the last six West Virginia held to 62 points or fewer. The Mountaineers are currently No. 4 in the Big 12 Conference in field goal

percentage defense and No. 2 in scoring margin. “This team for the most part has been pretty focused,” said WVU head coach Mike Carey. “(Texas Tech) is an important game. Our girls understand that.” TTU is currently 6-20 overall and are struggling in the Big 12 at 0-15. The Lady Red Raiders will have to find a way to get junior guard Amber Battle involved if they want to get their first conference win. Battle leads her team

with 17.2 points per game and is also a force in the paint with 7.8 boards per game. She is No. 2 in the conference in defensive boards per game (5.9) and No. 3 in scoring. “Battle is as good as anyone in the league,” Carey said. “She’s a big-time athlete. You have to pay attention to her.” Texas Tech nearly had its first conference win Saturday against No. 12 Oklahoma State. With only 1.5 seconds left OSU’s Tiffany Bias went the length of the

court and sunk a gamewinning layup with only 1.5 seconds left. In the loss Battle recorded a double-double with 19 points and 10 boards, while Ivonne Cook-Taylor added 14 points. The Mountaineer Maniacs are offering free beanies for the first 400 Maniacs inside the Coliseum. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU begins postseason at Big 12 Championships by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams will begin their postseason campaigns today at the Big 12 Championships in Austin, Texas, at 5:30 p.m. The event will conclude Saturday. “This is a great meet, and the pool is one of the best in the country for our teams,” said WVU head coach Vic Riggs.

The men last competed Jan. 31 at Ohio State, falling by a score of 151-99. The women last competed Feb. 1 against Iowa State in Athens, Ohio, losing to the Cyclones, 200-93. “Our last few weeks of preparation for the Big 12 Championships have been very good,” Riggs said. “The seedings for both meets are very good and have given us an opportunity to have some great racing in preliminaries, which will hopefully lead to putting us in

the right heats at night.” The men’s relay teams have been strong for the Mountaineers this season and look to keep their momentum rolling into today’s competition. The 400-meter free relay “A” team of sophomore Andrew Marsh, juniors Tim Squires and Julien Vialette and senior Bryce Bohman won the event against then-No.9 Ohio State with a time of 3:02.82. “Our relays are going to be pivotal to finishing our season and taking a team

to NCAA’s,” Riggs said. “With Bryce (Bohman) already making NCAA’s in his events, it is now up to our relays to qualify.” Bohman looks to build upon the solid showing he’s put forth all season in both the 100-meter and 200-meter back events. Bohman won both events against Ohio State. The women’s relay teams also look to build off strong performances against Iowa State and Ohio. The 200-meter free relay “A” team of ju-

niors Julie Ogden, Jaimee Gillmore and Courtney Parenti and freshman Lindsay Morrow finished third with a time of 1:38.76. “I think our women’s relays and team will surprise a few people, and I look for Julie (Ogden), Jenelle (Zee) and Eva (Burlingham) to lead the women this week,” Riggs said. “Overall, both teams look good and are ready to compete.”

Lisac, WVU making progress with Big 12 play nearing sports writer @dailyathenaeum

First-year Mountaineer women’s tennis head coach Miha Lisac has quickly learned what it takes to compete in the Big 12 Conference, even weeks before the first match is played. The Mountaineers inaugural season in the Big 12 under then head coach Tina Samara ended in a 0-9 record with a 4-17 overall record. This year’s squad hopes to build off what they learned last year and moving up in the Big 12. “It looks like we’re moving in the right direction. That’s really where we want to be going into those first matches against Kansas State and Kansas,” Lisac said. “If that’s the case, we will give ourselves a decent opportunity to be

successful, and that’s really the goal for this year.” Lisac stressed the importance of competing at the highest level every day and pushing each lady to perform her best on and off the court. With that combination, Lisac said the team will be in a good spot to compete in the Big 12. “It’s putting ourselves in a position where we can compete with the teams from the bottom of the Big 12, which is where the team was last year, and hopefully moving up a little and giving ourselves opportunities against the mid-level teams in the Big 12,” he said. Lisac said he realizes the importance of each player excelling on the court. As conference play approaches in the upcoming weeks, he said he wants to see the team mature and hit their peak.

“I would like for us to continue to make progress and mature as tennis players and as a tennis team,” he said. “It is very important for us to grow closer and compete and prepare as a close group.” The Mountaineers will have to stay on top of their game every day this season. After Kansas State and Kansas will be in Morgantown, WVU will hit the road for two matches and, in all, play six straight pre-season-ranked opponents, including No.17 Texas, No. 18 Texas Tech, No. 20 Baylor, No. 28 Oklahoma State, No. 30 TCU and No. 35 Oklahoma, before closing out the regular season at home against Iowa State. The Mountaineers will be in action Sunday at noon against Penn State in University Park, Pa.

unsatisfying for them, are sure to be giving the second and third tiers of 2014 quarterback prospects a hard look as well over the next 2 1/2 months. “Obviously, the position is a big need in this league. But it’s going to be fun, really. I get to look at some of the best guys and try to figure it out,” coach Mike Zimmer said. “Let’s hit on the right one, and let’s go to work.” He added: “I have the utmost confidence in the scouts and the front office people. I feel really good about it. If I didn’t, I’d be worried but I’m not.” Zimmer’s background is defense. General manager Rick Spielman, responsible for the Ponder pick, has yet to procure a proven franchise quarterback in his time as a lead decision-maker for either Miami or Minnesota. But

Junior Ikttesh Chahal gets set to serve in a home match earlier this season.

the Vikings have an ace in hand who will have a heavy influence on the process, offensive coordinator Norv Turner. “Ultimately, that will be my call and my responsibility, but you hire people that are experts in their areas to give a strong opinion on that,” Spielman said. Spielman has provided candid public evaluations this month of Ponder and his failure to establish himself as the unquestioned starter. He said an ideal scenario for this season will be to sign a veteran (Matt Cassel is the favorite, to bring back), keep Ponder (he’s the only one currently under contract) and draft a rookie. “Are we going to force a quarterback at No. 8? We’re going to take the best player, unless we’re absolutely in love with a

guy. If we’re in love with a guy, and they might go before us, we may move up in the draft,’’ Spielman said. ‘’If not, I would love to move down in the draft, if we possibly could. There’s so many good players that you’re going to get good players in the third and fourth rounds, for as deep as this draft class is.” Among the quarterbacks who could fit that strategy: Jimmy Garoppolo of Eastern Illinois, A.J. McCarron of Alabama, Zach Mettenberger of Louisiana State, Aaron Murray of Georgia and Connor Shaw of South Carolina. Mettenberger and Murray are coming off knee injuries. “If the rookie doesn’t have to play, it’s a great advantage for those guys to sit and learn for a year until they’re actually ready,” Spielman said.

KU wins another Big 12 title LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Winning conference titles has become so commonplace at Kansas that there were no scissors or celebrations after the Jayhawks wrapped up a share of their 10th straight championship. You see, the fifth-ranked Jayhawks can win the Big 12 outright with one win in their final three games, perhaps as soon as Saturday at Oklahoma State. And as tempting as it was to throw a party with 16,000 friends in Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night, there’s a lot to be said for standing all alone on the top step of the podium at the end of the season. So the trophy stayed in the box, at least for a bit, and the celebration began and ended with a brief message in the locker room from coach Bill Self. “It’s kind of anticlimactic,” he told his players, “because the season has so much left in it, you know? Three games left and you’ve already clinched a share of the league. But what you guys have done, nobody can take away from you that you’ve had a good year. “Now,’’ he said, “if you guys really want to do something, we can make it a special year.” That’s how seasons are measured at Kansas.

Once again, Vikings have QB decision to make place with the eighth pick in the first round. None of the top three prospects, Johnny Manziel, Teddy Bridgewater or Blake Bortles, is likely to still be available to them unless they find a willing partner and use other selections to move up. As evidenced by the performance of Christian Ponder, the 12th overall pick in a similarly quarterback-deep 2011 draft, there’s a risk in reaching even if the position is the biggest need on the roster. So the Vikings, if they determine the top three are either impossible or

CAR POOLING/RIDES

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings spent the weekend at the NFL scouting combine pouring over quarterbacks, as thoroughly as any other team in the league. They’re among the frustrated few – well, there’s more than a few clubs without a quarterback solution – who badly need this draft to produce a long-term answer at the most important position. The good news for them is that this year’s class is considered a deep one. The Vikings are also in a potentially awkward

ning a share of the Big 12 title is just the start, something that’s been happening every year since star freshman Andrew Wiggins was 9 years old and playing pickup basketball with his older brothers at the park. In the decade since “The Streak” began, no other school from a power conference has won more than six league titles. Texas Tech is already on its fifth coach. No other Big 12 school has made the Final Four much less win a national championship, which Kansas did in 2008. “It’s something you know coming in, when you come here, that’s the standard,” said freshman guard Wayne Selden Jr. “You know you have to come out and compete.” Lest you be part of the team that finally allows the streak to slip. It hasn’t always been this easy, wrapping it up with more than a week to go. There was a year that Kansas lost two of its first three conference games then had to run off 10 straight wins to forge a tie for the title. Just last year, the Jayhawks lost three straight in early February, yet bounced back to win their next seven games and a share of another championship.

This will be the 18th year of the Big 12, and Kansas will have won at least a share of 14 regular-season crowns. Texas is next with three, and Iowa State has two. “It shouldn’t be any pressure though,” said junior guard Naadir Tharpe, who’s been a part of three of them, “because we’re all just playing basketball. At the end of the day, that’s how we look at it. Just playing basketball and everything takes care of itself.” Maybe that’s why the success has been sustained with a revolving door of players. More than once, the Jayhawks have won a championship with five new starters, including his season. Some of the key contributors have been lost to graduation, but nearly as many left early for the NBA draft, putting Self in the position of filling unexpected holes. Somehow, he’ managed to do it every year. “That’s just a phenomenal accomplishment,” Oklahoma coach Lon Kruger said. “It’s not like you’re doing that in a bad league. They’ve done it in very good league with a lot of good teams, and it’s certainly a tribute to Bill and the job he does and the program in every way.”

Heisman winner Winston goes 0 for 2 versus Yankees

Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston follows through on a swing Tuesday. TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston grounded out to second and struck out looking in Florida State’s 8-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Tuesday. Winston entered in left field in the fifth inning and hit a groundball on an 0-2 pitch from minor leaguer Shane Greene during the sixth. In the eighth, Winston took a full-count pitch from Bryan Mitchell for a called third strike. “The favorite part of the day was just being out here,” Winston said. “Being around a bunch of big league guys, and they proved it. They beat us.” The sophomore quarterback led the Seminoles football team to the national

championship with a 34-31 victory over Auburn on January 6. He’s made three scoreless appearances this season as a the baseball team’s closer. Winston had a single in his only previously at-bat this year. “Obviously, he’s a great talent,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “I guess he had a football injury in the championship game which kept him from hitting for a while. But he’s just starting to pick up the bat again. I guess he had torn a ligament in his left index finger.” Brett Gardner had an infield single in his lone at-bat and Brendan Ryan hit an RBI double for the Yankees, who played their spring training opener. Joining Gardner and

Ryan in the lineup were Kelly Johnson and Francisco Cervelli. Florida State football head coach Jimbo Fisher threw the ceremonial first pitch in front of an announced crowd of 7,708 that included a large number of FSU fans. Highlights from Yankees camp and their win over Florida State: STARTING TIME Girardi announced that Masahiro Tanaka will make his debut in Saturday’s game againsrt Philadelphia. Tanaka and Hiroki Kuorda will follow starter CC Sabathia. Tanaka signed a $155 million, seven-year contract in January. He was 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last year while leading the Rakuten Golden Eagles to the Japan Series

title. Vidal Nuno gave up one hit and struck out three in two shutout innings Tuesday. Nuno went 1-2 with a 2.25 ERA in five games, including three starts, with the Yankees last year. JETER METER Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter did not play Tuesday, but took batting practice and fielded grounders. Jeter, who plans to retire after this season, is set to play in his first spring training game Thursday against Pittsburgh. PITCHING PREP Yankees closer David Robertson threw 21 pitches in batting practice before the regular pregame workout. “The best I’ve thrown at 8:30,” Robertson said with a Jameis Winston throws the ball back to the infield Tuesday. smile.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Parts of Oscar Pistorius’ murder trial can be broadcast live on television by three remote-controlled cameras in court, but testimony given by the doubleamputee Olympian can’t be shown, a judge ruled Tuesday. Pistorius’ lawyers failed in their bid to stop any part of the trial being broadcast as a judge sitting in the North Gauteng High Court, where the trial will open next week, ruled mostly in favor of the South African TV and radio applicants. A live audio-only feed can broadcast the entire trial. Judge Dunstan Mlambo’s decision opens up much of Pistorius’ blockbuster trial to the expected scrutiny of millions of fascinated followers around the world. “Court proceedings are in fact public and this objective must be recognized,” Mlambo said. The decision came two days after a Twitter site to be used by members of Pistorius’ family during the trial became active. It already has more than 20,000 followers. Mlambo, who won’t preside over the trial, granted permission to the South African media houses to install unmanned television cameras in unobtrusive locations in the courtroom before the trial starts Monday. Still photographs can be taken by two mounted cameras operated by photographers, but TV footage or photographs cannot show “extreme” close up images of anyone and some witnesses who object can stop their testimony from being broadcast. Trial judge Thokozile Masipa can stop the recordings at any time, Mlambo said.

Pistorius’ lawyers argued that broadcasting the trial in any way would harm his chances of a fair trial. Brian Webber, a lawyer for Pistorius, declined to comment on the ruling, saying he had yet to study it. Pistorius was charged with murder for the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp a year ago, unleashing a wave of intense interest in the already worldfamous disabled athlete. He faces 25 years in prison if he is convicted on the main charge of premeditated murder, which he denies. Mlambo called Pistorius “a local and international icon” and said the broadcast decision was a “balancing act” between guaranteeing him a fair trial and also respecting the freedom of the media. South African democracy is relatively young and the justice system is “still perceived as treating the rich and famous with kid gloves whilst being harsh on the poor and vulnerable,” Mlambo said. “Enabling a larger South African society to follow firsthand the criminal proceedings which involve a celebrity so to speak will go a long way into dispelling these negative and unfounded perceptions about the justice system,” he said. The broadcasts also can be made available to international stations through a sharing agreement. Opening and closing arguments can be shown along with the presiding judge’s decision and sentencing should Pistorius be convicted, Mlambo ruled. Expert state witnesses’ and police officers’ testimonies can be broadcast on television and photographed, but not

those of Pistorius or his defense witnesses. The judge did not explain the reason for blocking images of Pistorius and defense witnesses. The court could consider showing some testimonies from behind the witness stand, obscuring faces or using a general wide shot of the court. No parts of confidential discussions between Pistorius and his lawyers can be broadcast in any way, nor can discussions at the bench among the prosecution, defense and judge, Mlambo said. The broadcast applications were brought by a South African television news station, a radio network and a cable provider which plans to launch a 24-hour TV channel dedicated to the Pistorius trial on Sunday. Pistorius’ spokeswoman, Anneliese Burgess, told The Associated Press earlier Tuesday that the new Twitter feed, titled @OscarHardTruth, will be operated by herself and members of Pistorius’ family “for information sharing.” Pistorius’ lawyers argued broadcasting the trial, and specifically witness testimony, could influence the evidence given by later witnesses. The prosecution did not oppose the general application for live broadcast, as long as some conditions were met, but one legal expert said it’s a risk. “It actually puts the state under far more pressure to make sure that the process behind this trial and the preparation of witnesses is absolutely faultless,” said Kelly Phelps, a senior lecturer in the public law department at the University of Cape Town.
