BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE WVU announces $106 mil athletic facility upgrades By Anthony Pecoraro Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

$106 million breakdown

West Virginia University Athletic Director Oliver Luck announced Tuesday morning which projects the approximate $106 million to renovate a multitude of Mountaineer athletic facilities. As Luck explained, the primary reason WVU is able to plan such a large project is because of the school’s recent move to the Big 12 Conference. “The real impetus came when we joined the Big 12, and we began realizing that though we had nice facilities, and we still do in many cases – we are now competing against the very best in the country,” Luck said. The $106 million is divided into three financial sources, with the largest being a $75 million bond. The other two are the result of a $25 million private Mountaineer Athletic Club fundraising effort and $6 million from the multimedia rights contract. All three are possible due to the guaranteed annual revenue from the Big 12, as well as guaranteed annual revenue from the multimedia rights contract with IMG. Luck said at least 50 percent of the bond will go toward renovations at Mountaineer Field at Milan Puskar Stadium. “We are certain we will invest a significant portion, over 50 percent in the football stadium,” Luck said. “We will do considerable work on the concourses and on entrances to Mountaineer Field.” Mountaineer Field, erected in 1981 when Luck was a quarterback for the Mountaineers, has seen few changes in its 34 years of existence, which Luck said must be changed primarily for the fans’ enjoyment.

“The stadium has held up well, but I think there needs to be some upgrades, not necessarily for the players. This is really all for the fans and fan enjoyment at Mountaineer Field,” Luck said. Although planned football upgrades have been welldeveloped, Luck said when it comes to the 44-year-old WVU Coliseum, nothing has been distinctively planned out. “As we move away from the football stadium to the Coliseum complex, we have a lot of options of things we are looking at but really haven’t decided finally on

said Sandy Baldwin, associate professor of English and director of the Center for Literary Computing. Baldwin teaches digital writing and electronic literature and studies works of electronic literature. He is also the project director for the Consortium for Electronic Literature (CELL), a research project based at WVU that collaborates with 10 universities in seven countries to create a search engine and webbased tools for researching and teaching in this area. One of the primary collaborators in this project is the NT2 Lab. “The NT2 Lab researches and teaches about digital writing. In particular, they focus on creative writing using computers and the Internet,” Baldwin said. “The workshop will showcase their research and teaching and will in-

Set for completion just in time for the start of the fall 2014 semester, the University Place student apartment construction site has quickly taken shape and now towers over the Sunnyside neighborhood near the West Virginia University Downtown Campus. The 950-bed complex will offer two-, three- and fourbedroom, modern student apartment style units and townhomes, and an array of amenities, including a fully equipped fitness center, private study rooms and ground floor retail space across eight floors. With construction on the structure of the building now complete, David Martinelli, owner of Paradigm Development Group and project developer, said the site is rarely quiet and often times will resemble a bee’s nest with busy workers bustling about, working to complete their assigned tasks. “There’s a lot going on at one time,” Martinelli said. “There are hundreds of workers in there on all the different levels finishing each part out. “A big part of the project now is getting materials into the building. There are so many workers in there it’s a big chore to keep them fed with materials. There’s hoisting equipment strategically placed at various points to get the materials in to them.” The unique property will feature a new concept Sheetz store and other retailers that will be announced as soon as negotiations are finalized.

Local candidates to talk Morgantown, state issues at forum by meagan carpenter staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The Daily Athenaeum is sponsoring this event. The Monongalia County Political Candidate Forum, the capstone project of Summer Ratcliff and Christopher Flaherty, will be held Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in the Gluck Theatre of the Mountainlair. This forum is a place for students to hear directly from local political candidates running for election in the upcoming May primary and the general election in November. The forum will allow students and community members to become more informed on local Monongalia County political leaders and the issues they may be working on if elected. The candidates include Anthony Barill, Robert Beach, Larry Edgell, Barbara Fleischauer, Nancy Jamison, Brian Kurcaba, Kent Leonhardt, Charlene Marshall, Edward Olesh, Amanda Pasdon, Marti Shamberger, Joe Statler, Stanley Shaver, Kris Warner and John Williams. Flaherty, a senior political science student, has been working with Ratcliff during the past four months to coordinate this event and ensure it is successful and helps with their capstone project. “We wanted to get candidates who are running for reelection or running for the first time to come out and be able to answer any questions that students may have about what their plans are if they get elected,”

Bayer MaterialScience Pres. talks job prospects By Laura Haight Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

The College of Business & Economics’ Distinguished Speaker series concluded for the semester with Gerald MacCleary. MacCleary spoke to students in the Mountainlair ballrooms about how he moved up in his accounting career to become president of Bayer MaterialScience. MacCleary graduated from West Virginia University with a degree in accounting and said he was delighted to come back to his alma mater. He started his lecture by giving students hope about the current unemployment rate. He said employers will begin looking for re-

forum

Continued from page 1 Flaherty said. The capstone class for which Ratcliff and Flaherty are using this forum is mainly about environmental issues and other community service projects. However, Flaherty said they wanted to do something different that not everyone in their class was doing. “People who attend the forum can ask questions about the environmental issues that have happened in the state of West Virginia, but that is not what we want to focus on completely,” Flaherty said. Carlee Lammers, junior print journalism student, will moderate the

cent college graduates to replace the baby boomers who are retiring. “There are strong signs that prospects are much better to find a job,” he said. “Every seven seconds, a person like me, a baby boomer, is retiring.” He said the challenge companies are facing now is transferring knowledge from the retirees to the college graduates and retaining all the new talent for the future. MacCleary advised the students in attendance to respect their elders in the workforce and to listen and learn from them. “These new employees need the wisdom and guidance of current employees to help prepare them for a full range of responsibiliforum and lead the conversation. As the managing editor of The Daily Athenaeum, Lammers was asked to moderate the event since The DA is the main sponsor. “I think it will help make students more aware of the issues that the local politicians have and how they want to act on them,” Lammers said. Students are able to ask any questions about traffic, environmental issues, road problems or anything they feel might be necessary to ask. “I really want students to come and learn more about Morgantown politics,” Lammers said. “I know not everyone that comes is able to vote in West Virginia, but just for students to come and get to know the people running

ties,” he said. “You both can teach and learn from each other.” MacCleary gave four lessons to help students on pursuing a career in business. His first lesson is for students to put their heart into everything they do. “Have passion for what you do. It resonates with people who are looking at you,” he said. “That’s the first thing we see in employees before we hire them.” His second lesson is for students to make themselves appealing to the customers. “I believe great corporations with great profits focus on the customers,” he said. “Think like them and let their voices guide you in what you do.” could make them more aware of what is going on around them.” Lammers said even if students can’t vote in Morgantown, the changes that could potentially happen could directly affect the college students who live here. Flaherty said the forum is not a place for debate but rather a place to ask questions to those running and learn more on the presented topics. “I really hope that students come to realize that the candidates are really here for you,” he said. “We want students to come with questions and get to know the people that could be the delegates and senators representing Monongalia County.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

MacCleary also advised students to build a strong base with their careers and expand their knowledge as much as they can. “Treat your careers not as a ladder but as a pyramid,” he said. “You want to have a broad base of experience to build upon. This approach will serve you well as you move up the pyramid.” MacCleary said he’s built his experience by taking risks – he has changed jobs 15 times and relocated nine times. “Get out of your comfort zone,” he said. “Be courageous.” His final lesson to students was for them to own their careers. “Nobody owes you a career. Your career is your

business,” MacCleary said. “You need to accept ownership. It’s your responsibility to protect this personal business of yours from any harm.” He said their success is up to them. “Nobody else can do that for you,” MacCleary said. “It’s up to you to manage your career in a way that will allow you to maximize your contributions.” Alaina Vitsas, a senior business management student, said she enjoyed listening to MacCleary’s lecture. “In the past a lot of the speakers would just talk about themselves and their success or accomplishments,” she said. “But, today’s speaker talked about tips and advice for us in our

future.” Vitsas said she found MacCleary to be relatable and thought his advice was helpful. “The speaker gave a lot of experiences a lot of college kids can relate to and how we can achieve access through his experiences,” she said. Vitsas said she found hope in his lecture when MacCleary told the students not to worry about the unemployment rate because of the retirees. “He gave an optimistic look on the job market,” she said. The Distinguished Speaker series will resume in fall 2014. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Continued from page 1 The Sheetz, the first of its kind and triple the size of a typical Sheetz brand store, will serve as the first major grocery retailer to be located in the downtown Morgantown area for many years. The store will be complete with a beer cave, wine grotto, and indoor and outdoor seating for more than 100 people. The store will be accessible from various entrances at street level, from the parking deck and from inside the building near the living units. “Folks will be able to just pop out of their apartments and go right into the Sheetz,” Martinelli said. “Sheetz is putting millions of dollars into the fitting out of this space. Their crews will come in here real soon and complete their portion of the construction of the store.” The complex will also feature a restaurant and sports bar with outdoor deck seating that will overlook large courtyards. Martinelli said the courtyards will be decorated and filled with large

lounge furniture to allow residents to sit outside and enjoy the neighborhood at the backside of the complex. At the front side of the property, the complex was strategically built 25 feet from University Avenue to ensure outdoor seating is available in front of the retail and restaurant spaces. “We think there will be a lot of students that just want to hang out around the area because you will have people up at the restaurant and sports bar and on the outdoor deck area, people in the courtyard, people down at the street level, and then up in the gallery area, as well,” he said. “We really wanted it to be an area where a lot of interaction takes place. It’s one of the reasons we made it two buildings in the first place, that area in between allows people to walk through and have a sense of connection.” The complex features two buildings, one that Martinelli said will be known as the apartments building and another that will be known as the studios building. Each unit in the studios building will feature granite counter tops and will have an in-unit

washer and dryer. While the apartments building will not have an in-unit washer and dryer, but commercial laundry facilities will be located on every floor. The units in both buildings are quickly taking shape, many of them now have drywall and HVAC units. The next step toward completion will be to finish the walls, lay flooring, add fixtures and from there paint the units, a process Martinelli said will be completed rather quickly. Martinelli said construction is on schedule for completion in August, in time for students to move in prior to the beginning of the fall semester. “We have it all scheduled out, the teams are working in two shifts, and there’s a lot going on all at once,” he said. “We are really working on an accelerated schedule to have it completed in August.” Students can still reserve spots at University Place for the 2014-15 school year.

Continued from page 1 what we want to do,” Luck said. “We know there are a number of things that need to be done.” The College of Physical Activity and Sports Science (CPASS) will be moving out of the Coliseum this summer, meaning the Coliseum will have more room to redo its concourses. Based on federal standards for a building with its capacity, the Coliseum currently lacks 102 restrooms, a fact Luck explained as reason to make

the changes. “We’ll be able to take the vacated CPASS space, which is substantial, and redo our concourses and have a concourse that’s more designed for basketball fans, volleyball (and) wrestling,” Luck said. Another anticipated upgrade will be to add a visiting team locker room at the 10-year-old Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, something Luck said negatively reflects on the University when teams travel to Morgantown. “Right now, the visiting teams at halftime go into a tent,” Luck said. “I don’t

think it reflects well on us, and so we’re very focused on building a second team locker room at Dlesk.” With more renovations expected to take place in the coming years around campus, such as the Shell Building and the WVU Natatorium, Luck said he hopes the most pressing upgrades to the athletic facilities will be addressed in the next 3-4 years. The West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission will meet April 25 to finalize the facilities plan and to give the final needed approval. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

GOP leader: La. lawmaker’s apology appropriate BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Republicans kept their distance Tuesday from a Louisiana congressman who asked for forgiveness after a newspaper published a video it says shows him kissing a woman who isn’t his wife. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said he was pleased U.S. Rep. Vance McAllister offered an apology. But Cantor declined to say whether he thought the Louisiana congressman should remain on the job, as the fall-out threatened McAllister’s November re-election. McAllister spokes woman Jennifer Dunagin said Tuesday that the woman in the video, Me-

lissa Peacock, “voluntarily resigned effective yesterday.” McAllister apologized in a statement late Monday pledging “to do everything I can to earn back the trust of everyone I’ve disappointed” after the video surfaced. The GOP congressman hasn’t returned calls from The Associated Press, and Dunagin didn’t answer questions about whether McAllister intended to continue his planned re-election bid. But in an interview with The News-Star, he said he’ll be on the fall ballot “unless there is an outcry for me not to serve.” The freshman lawmaker ran as a political outsider,

noting he’d never been to Washington before he was elected to Congress. He relied on his own personal wealth and the national and local attention drawn to his election bid with an endorsement from the bearded men of the popular “Duck Dynasty” reality TV show. But he also ran on a platform of faith and family, raising questions about whether McAllister’s apology will be enough to satisfy voters who supported his candidacy. The congressional election is Nov. 4. Cantor, of Virginia, said McAllister’s constituents deserved the apology. He said he would “reserve fur-

ther judgment” on the burgeoning scandal. The Ouachita Citizen posted what it said was Dec. 23 surveillance video from inside McAllister’s congressional office in Monroe, showing McAllister and a member of his staff kissing. According to the LegiStorm, a website that tracks congressional salaries, Peacock joined McAllister’s staff shortly after his election in November, earning about $407 a week, or less than $22,000 a year. Peacock and her husband were contributors to McAllister’s campaign. The surveillance video was filmed just a month after McAllister won a sur-

prise landslide victory in a special November election to represent Louisiana’s 5th District, covering the northeastern and central regions of the state. A political unknown only months before the campaign, McAllister managed to defeat the establishment candidate and presumed front-runner with little outside help and no heavyweight fundraising. Jason Dore, executive director of the Republican Party of Louisiana, wouldn’t answer questions about whether the GOP congressman should stay in office or resign. “We’re certainly disappointed in the news about Congressman McAllister.

His family and constituents definitely deserved an apology, so we’re glad he issued a statement. We’ve not had a chance to speak to the congressman. That will be the extent of our comments until we learn more about this situation,” Dore said in an email. Joshua Stockley, a political science professor at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, said the video could generate election competition for McAllister. “Before this happened, crickets were chirping. No Democrats or Republicans were seriously looking at this race as a possibility,” Stockley said. “There are some names floating around now.”

Jury convicts woman in Texas stiletto shoe killing

AP/HOUSTON CHRONICLE, BRETT COOMER Prosecutor John Jordan does a crime scene demonstration, using a dummy, during the trial against Ana Trujillo Tuesday,, in Houston. Trujillo, 45, is charged with murder, accused of killing her 59-year-old boyfriend, Alf Stefan Andersson with the heel of a stiletto shoe, at his condominium in June 2013. Defense attorney Jack Carroll, center, and crime scene investigator Christopher Duncan are shown in the background.

HOUSTON (AP) — A Houston woman was convicted of murder Tuesday for fatally stabbing her boyfriend with the 5½-inch stiletto heel of her shoe, hitting him at least 25 times in the face. Prosecutors said Ana Trujillo used her high heel shoe to kill 59-year-old Alf Stefan Andersson during an argument at his Houston condominium in June. Trujillo’s attorney had argued the 45-year-old woman was defending herself during an attack by Andersson, a University of Houston professor and researcher. Trujillo, who faces up to life in prison, showed little emotional reaction when the jury verdict was read. She had been out of jail on bond but was taken into custody after the guilty verdict. The jury, which deliberated for about two hours before reaching its verdict, will begin hearing evidence in the trial’s punishment phase Wednesday. Before she was taken into custody, Trujillo could be overhead speaking in Spanish with some friends, telling them, “’’I loved him and he was crazy.”

Jack Carroll, Trujillo’s attorney, said he was disappointed with the verdict and Trujillo was “taking it a little hard but she’s pretty tough.” “I’m hoping that they will be merciful in the punishment,” Carroll said, adding he will be asking for a prison sentence of two years. Prosecutors declined to comment on the case until after a sentence is announced. During the trial, prosecutors portrayed Trujillo, a native of Mexico, as out of control on the night of the slaying. Prosecutors told jurors that after a night of drinking, the couple began arguing and during the confrontation, Andersson was injured and fell on his back. Trujillo sat on Andersson, preventing him from getting up and repeatedly struck him in the face and head with her shoe, they said. “This is not self-defense. This is a vicious murder,” prosecutor John Jordan told jurors during closing arguments earlier Tuesday. Jordan told jurors that Trujillo had a history of violence, reminding them of testimony by two witnesses

who said Trujillo had attacked them two weeks before Andersson’s death. James Wells, who had been romantically involved with Trujillo, testified that in an unprovoked attack, Trujillo bit him on his head, pulled skin from his skull, and then told him, “You’re a dead man.” Chanda Ellison, who had also been romantically involved with Wells, testified she had to use a stick to fend off an attack from Trujillo in her home. During witness testimony, prosecutors highlighted that Trujillo did not have any injuries from her confrontation with Andersson while the researcher had defensive wounds on his hands and wrists. Trujillo’s attorneys argued she did have injuries. Defense attorneys told jurors Trujillo did the only thing she could do while being attacked: defend herself. “What would you do if there was the threat of serious bodily injury ... if the threat of death is there? You defend yourself,” Carroll said in closing arguments. Prosecution witnesses portrayed Andersson, a native of Sweden who became

a U.S. citizen, as mild-mannered and quiet. In a video of Trujillo’s police interrogation that was played at trial, she told detectives Andersson had become enraged after thinking she was going to leave him, attacked her and that she used the only weapon she had at her disposal – her shoe – to defend herself. Trujillo told detectives she hit Andersson with her shoe “a couple of times” and didn’t realize she had hurt him until she saw blood on the floor. Trujillo told detectives she tried performing CPR on Andersson. The blue suede stiletto heel – a size 9 platform pump with a 5 1/2-inch heel – was brought out during testimony about the bloody crime scene and also during closing arguments. In video and photos taken by police at the crime scene, the stiletto heel can be seen lying on the carpeted floor of Andersson’s condominium, above his head. A large pool of blood was also near his head, which was bloodied, purple and had several visible wounds.

Spanish Parliament rejects Catalonia bid MADRID (AP) — Spain’s Parliament on Tuesday overwhelmingly rejected a petition by the powerful northeastern Catalonia region to allow an independence referendum, a decision that is likely to increase the divide between both sides. The request was voted down, 299-47, with one abstention, after nearly seven hours of debate. Catalonia’s pro-independence sentiment has exploded recently amid objections over how the region is treated by the central government. Many in the re-

gion located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula are convinced that independence would benefit them economically. But the issue is politically fraught, with many lawmakers arguing that Catalonians alone cannot decide something that affects all of Spain. The referendum has stirred debate about whether Spain’s 1978 Constitution should be reformed to devolve more power and to calm territorial unease. Conservative Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy reiterated that it simply wasn’t

possible to grant permission for a vote, which he said was prohibited by the constitution. “The door is wide open for those who are not happy with the way things are: Start with reforming the constitution,” Rajoy said. However, Catalonian lawmaker Joan Herrera argued that a “no” vote would only “increase the difference” between Catalonia and Spain because Catalonians were not being allowed to exercise what they see as their right to decide their future. Catalonia, with a popu-

lation of 7.5 million, represents roughly a fifth of Spain’s 1.1 trillion euro ($1.5 trillion) GDP. Like other regions in Spain, it has its own language as well as Spanish, and substantial autonomy. Catalonia regional President Artur Mas, who did not attend the session, insists the poll will be held regardless. It remains to be seen if he can, or whether Spain will prevent it from happening. Mas began pushing for the independence poll after he failed to clinch a better financial pact for Catalonia in 2012.

Prosecutor John Jordan sets down a stiletto shoe entered into evidence during the trial against Ana Lilia Trujillo Tuesday, in Houston. Trujillo, 45, is charged with murder, accused of killing her 59-year-old boyfriend, Alf Stefan Andersson with the heel of a stiletto shoe, at his Museum District high-rise condominium in June 2013.

Remaining Coliseum asbestos needs to be removed

Kyle Monroe/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

In 1999-2000, West Virginia University was forced to play a year of sports games split between Wheeling and Charleston and use the gymnasium at Fairmont State University while asbestos was removed from the WVU Coliseum. The building was shut down after the area’s concrete dome began to

shred asbestos insulation into the air. Officials made the decision to remove the asbestos before it became a health threat for the players and fans. By August 2000, most of the asbestos had reportedly been removed, and the Coliseum was cleared for regular use in December of the same year. In 2002, the U.S. En-

vironmental Protection Agency cited two asbestos removal contractors for improperly removing asbestos from the Coliseum. The complaint sought a $35,000 penalty for an alleged failure to keep material containing asbestos wet during removal. According to the Federal Clean Air Act, asbestos-containing materials

must be handled carefully and kept wet to reduce the risk of the hazardous materials entering the air supply. Inhaling asbestos can cause malignant lung cancer and mesothelioma. The University shares legal responsibility for any damage that occurs in the Coliseum, and the Board of Governors, along

with the contracted asbestos-removal companies, was named in the complaint. During an unannounced inspection of the removal area in June 2000, inspectors from the EPA and the West Virginia Division of Environmental Protection discovered dry asbestoscontaining ceiling plaster scattered on the floor in a second floor hallway and office that were only isolated by plastic sheeting. In 2005, more than 5,000 University employees filed a class action lawsuit against the school for asbestos-related illnesses. The employees claimed the asbestos put them at risk for diseases related to the insulation material, and WVU agreed to establish a medical monitoring program. In 2006, WVU agreed to pay up to 20 years of medical testing for employees who may have been exposed to the airborne fibers. The University said it would cover the cost of chest X-rays, lung exams and other tests once a year for 5,600 employees. In the most recent report released by the WVU BOG in which they announced the updates to

several athletic facilities, Athletic Director Oliver Luck stated some asbestos remains in the Coliseum. “We need to move prudently but carefully,” Luck said in a story with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “We do believe that’s an important priority here.” It’s been 14 years since the original decision to remove the asbestos, and still some of the deadly material remains in the building? After a $1 million settlement and a complaint from the EPA, it would make sense the University would remove the asbestos completely. Granted, the Coliseum is a massive structure and surely the removal is lengthy, but perhaps if it had been removed properly, safely and fully in 1999, then perhaps the University could have avoided this mess and could spend the funds that will spent removing the rest of the asbestos on some other project. With any luck, the remaining asbestos-containing materials will be removed, and the threat of inhaling hazardous material will be completely eliminated. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

How to overcome writer’s block and regain inspiration HANNAH CHENOWITH COLUMNIST

Writer’s block is an affliction with which most of us are all too familiar with. It doesn’t matter if you love to write and do so regularly or consider any writing a form of torture, the frustrating phenomenon of writer’s block finds a way to stump us all. You stare at the blank Word document, convinced you’ve never come up with an original idea in your life. Your head is filled with air, that must be it. Is that a stink bug over there… really? You suddenly become ravenous for Cheez-Whiz. Wait, what is this assignment? What is the meaning of life? Watching the time tick by is just an anxiety-ridden reminder your productivity is maxing out at zero. You may feel like banging your head against a wall, but I’d like to share a few tips with you before you do anything drastic. Here’s my first word of advice: write utter crap. Write whatever comes to your mind, paying no mind to a logical sequence. You may be cringing as you type, but sometimes the best nuggets of insight are found in random, seemingly worthless sentences. You may end up deleting

the entire thing, or you may go back and find it’s not bad. At the very least, it creates a workable foundation. Don’t put pressure on yourself writing the first draft. Don’t even worry about grammar or if you’re speaking proper English. The beauty of drafts is seeing your work transform from a rough, free-for-all to something far more polished and precise. Consider the environment in which you are writing. You know the kind of setting or conditions where you produce your best work. Personally, I can’t get anything done if I’m around people or loud music, and stress out an amount not at all proportional to the situation. As the panic is striking, I get an uncontrollable urge to flee and hide. Still, say you are in your ideal environment and still find yourself with nothing to say. Try switching up some part of your routine, no matter how small. Write in a different font, or switch from typing on a computer to writing by hand in a notebook. Drive to the library or plunk down on a random bench somewhere, if possible. Do a handstand and get a different perspective. It’s been said all the best thinking occurs in the shower, and I’ve often found that to be true. If not

a shower, just do some sort of task that occupies you, whether it’s folding the laundry or making your bed. Just sitting there trying to force something meaningful out can drive you wild. Sometimes you have to momentarily take yourself away, feel like a productive human for a moment and then tackle the assignment. If you have to write some-

thing particularly dull or awful, you may not even know where to start. It always helps me to grab a blank piece of paper and just list out the categories of introduction, thesis, body and conclusion. Then I think of the main ideas – the most important concepts in concise terms – I want to get across. Under the main ideas, I make bullet points to support them.

The arduous task of a long paper can be greatly simplified by breaking concepts down into chunks and then compiling them. The creative process can be frustrating and unpredictable, but you have to trust it will happen. It’s when you’re not even looking that you’ll be caught offguard by the most unexpected metaphors found in

the mundane. It can be a random song lyric that sends your mind reeling or the sight of a tree that suddenly elevates your paper to a whole different level. There are tons of great ideas inside you just waiting to be opened up once the walls of writer’s block crumble. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Celebration in sports: is NFL turning into the ‘No Fun League’? EUGENE JOH UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT

In late March 2014, the NFL head of officiating Dean Blandino told the Dan Patrick Show that starting this season, slam dunk celebrations at the end of touchdowns will be penalized. According to reports, the rule is an amendment to an existing rule that bans using the ball as a prop. Jimmy Graham, who perhaps possesses the most famous current slam-dunk celly, tweeted his dissatisfaction with the new ruling,

tweeting, “NOOO!” Richard Sherman, the NFL’s unofficial twitter spokesman, tweeted out that “they want players to be robots or they will penalize ... Next is chest bumps and high fives ... smh.” This new ruling is just the most recent in an initiative within the NFL and across professional sports to curtail celebrations in-game. First, it was spinning the ball on the ground that was targeted by NFL officials. Recently, officials in NCAA basketball determined that players who hang on the rim after a posterizing dunk would be charged with a foul.

So is this the end of an era? An era of awesome sports cellies? If it is, like at the end of any era, we salute those who have paved the way for the newer generations of ball-spinners, dunkers and patty-cakers. No discussion of extravagant celebrations could be complete without Terrell Owens. Who could forget the blatant disrespect that T.O. showed when he stamped the ball on the star in the Dallas Cowboys’ home stadium and was trucked by Cowboys’ safety George Teague for his troubles? It’s no secret that the NFL has an extremely compet-

itive and chippy nature. With only 16 games played in the regular season, every game and every play is fought tooth-and-nail. So, at the end of a scoring drive, players may be trying to release that tension by doing something a little silly to ease the mood. By that same token, they may also be trying to demoralize their opponent and rub it in their faces. The NFL would probably agree more with the second explanation and say that the rules of sportsmanship, and the standard of conduct in the league, shouldn’t allow players to do something that’s in poor taste.

Of course, not everything is going to be banned by the league. Despite Richard Sherman’s postulation, there probably won’t be a high-fiving or chest-bumping penalty that is installed. But still, how is a slam dunk offensive to anyone, or seen as anything other than an expression of excitement over scoring? While players may see it as just having fun, perhaps the officials see it as being frivolous. So while many may call the NFL the No Fun League, the officials see it more as the No Frivolous League. And so, we approach the end of an era. Frivolous cellies have

always been a part of the game, and I’m sickened by the prospect of going through an entire NFL season without a wide receiver doing the worm in the middle of a tightly contested game. This just can’t be the end of spontaneous, often hilarious moments like that. Maybe I’m in denial, and the dawn of the No Fun League has already arrived. If so, I guess all we can do is smile and think of the old times, a time when Randy Moss could moon a stadium and it got put into an ESPN Top 10. To the pioneers of a bygone era, we salute you.

Queen hosts Irish president on 1st UK state visit

Guests listen during a speech by Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, centre left of table, during a State Banquet given in honor of the President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins, seated at the queen’s right hand, at Windsor Castle, Tuesday, in Windsor, England. LONDON (AP) — Amid regal pomp at Queen Elizabeth II’s Windsor Castle home, the Irish president and the British monarch have begun Ireland’s first state visit to Britain with expressions of mutual affection and respect – and a shared determination to consign national hatreds to a sorrow-tinged past. President Michael D. Higgins, Ireland’s elfin head of state, was guest of honor at a royal banquet that brought together former enemies in Northern Ireland and leading politicians and celebrities of Britain and Ireland, including Judi Dench and Daniel Day-Lewis. Gathered together on one massive 160-seat table, they heard the queen and Higgins pledge to lead their nations into a new era of friendship. Higgins’ trip – on his country’s first state visit to Britain since Ireland won independence nearly a century ago – underscores how much the success of Northern Ireland peacemaking has transformed wider relations between the two longtime adversaries since the 1990s, when Irish Republican Army car bombs were still detonating in London. It comes three years after the queen, defying threats

from IRA splinter groups still seeking to wreck the peace, made her own inaugural visit to the Republic of Ireland, where a British monarch last visited in 1911, when all of Ireland was still part of the United Kingdom. As she toasted the health of the Irish nation, Elizabeth said she had loved her Irish visit and found it “even more pleasing since then that we, the Irish and British, are becoming good and dependable neighbors and better friends, finally shedding our inhibitions about seeing the best in each other.” The queen managed a rare joke as she lauded the role of Irish immigrants in Britain’s public, academic and cultural life. She recalled her own surprise role in the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics, when she performed in a film alongside James Bond star Daniel Craig – before a stuntman dressed as the monarch parachuted live into the stadium. “It took someone of Irish descent, Danny Boyle, to get me to jump from a helicopter,” she said to laughter, referring to the show’s director. More significantly, the queen criticized how Irish immigrants to Britain used to experience “discrimination and a lack of appreciation.” She said a peaceful future would require Britain and Ireland to be “respectful of each other’s nationhood, sovereignty and traditions, cooperating to our mutual benefit, at ease in each other’s company. After so much checkered history, the regrettable pain of which is still felt by many of us, this goal is now within reach.” She signaled her intention to return to Ireland for the 100th anniversary commemorations of its Easter Rising, a short-lived 1916 Dublin rebellion that inspired Ireland’s later war of independence.

Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II toasts with President of Ireland Michael D. Higgins, obscured 5th left, after her speech during a State Banquet in honour of the Irish President, in Windsor Castle Tuesday, in Windsor, England. Guests and dignitaries including Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and Northern Ireland’s Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness are attending the banquet at the end of the first day of a state visit by Ireland’s Michael D. Higgins. Higgins is making the first state visit by a president of the republic since it gained independence from Britain. Camilla Duchess of Cornwall at fourth left, and Princess Anne, second right. Even a few years ago, the idea of British royals attending celebrations of one of the most anti-British events in Irish history would have seemed farcical, if not dangerous. Not now. “My family and my government will stand alongside you, Mr. President, and your ministers, throughout the anniversaries ... of the events that led to the creation of the Irish Free State,” she said, using the original name of what became the Republic of Ireland. Earlier Tuesday, Higgins delivered the first speech by an Irish president to the joint Houses of Parliament, where he declared that both nations had attained “a closeness and warmth that once seemed unachievable.” Previous Irish presidents toured England and met

the queen in several official trips since 1993 as part of early peacemaking efforts. But a formal state visit with full honors had been repeatedly postponed because of security and diplomatic sensitivities. Higgins, a left-wing politician, poet and human rights activist who was elected to the ceremonial post in 2011, said the two nations’ relationship had gone “from the doubting eyes of estrangement to the trusting eyes of partnership and, in recent years, to the welcoming eyes of friendship.” “Our two countries can take immense pride in the progress of the cause of peace in Northern Ireland,” he said. “There is of course still a road to be traveled, the road of a lasting and creative reconciliation.” When Higgins arrived at

Windsor Castle, a military band played Ireland’s martial national anthem, “The Soldier’s Song,” as the queen and her husband Prince Philip welcomed the president and his wife, Sabina, into the castle quadrangle. Outside, Irish tricolors and Union Jacks lined the streets of Windsor for the start of Higgins’ four-day tour of England. Also taking part in royal events for the first time is Martin McGuinness, once a senior IRA commander, now deputy leader of Northern Ireland’s unity government. He boycotted the queen’s 2011 visit to Ireland. Before Tuesday’s banquet, McGuinness chatted animatedly with the prime ministers of Britain and Ireland, David Cameron and Enda Kenny, but was not seen to exchange any words with the queen. More than 3,600 people were killed during the fourdecade conflict over Northern Ireland. The main faction of the IRA killed nearly 1,800 people – among them the queen’s cousin, Lord Louis Mountbatten – during its failed effort to force Northern Ireland out of the United Kingdom. Experts

say McGuinness was the IRA’s chief of staff when the group assassinated Mountbatten in 1979. Higgins paid silent tribute to Mountbatten, as well as to Britain’s dead from the two world wars, during a tour of Westminster Abbey, where a plaque on the abbey floor honors Mountbatten, a World War II hero who was Britain’s last viceroy to India. The 79-year-old shunned personal security when holidaying in the Republic of Ireland; an IRA remote-control bomb killed him, two teenage boys and an 83-year-old woman. For all its symbolism of reconciliation, the queen’s banquet invitation for McGuinness dismayed some IRA victims. Stephen Gault, whose father was one of 11 Protestant civilians killed in an IRA bombing in 1987, said it was “another nail in the coffin of the innocent victims of terrorism.” Gault told the BBC he “would like to see Mr. McGuinness behind bars for his crimes.” “Yes, we all want peace, but peace at what cost? It’s been a dirty peace so far,” he said.

Green Arch Market to host block party

Green Arch Market, a convenience store located in South Park carries an array of chips, canned goods, fresh made organic meals and beer.

by nick wesdock a&e writer @dailyathenaeum

The Green Arch Market, a new takeout restaurant and convenience store located in Morgantown’s Greenmont neighborhood, will be hosting a block party and grand opening Saturday from noon-5 p.m. The event will take place at the store, located at 260 Green St., and will feature family games, such as cornhole, beanbag tosses and foursquare tournaments. Live music and entertainment by The High Street Jazz Band, the WVU Swing Dance Club and more to be announced will be provided throughout the afternoon. Homemade food will also be available

for purchase. If you stop by the market and pick up a flyer, you will receive 15 percent off your order until April 30. Although this weekend’s party will serve as its grand opening, the Green Arch Market has been open since Valentine’s Day. “Well, I was looking for a way to make a future,” said owner Matt Smailes. “Everyone was very interested, or very needing, of a local family store. I would find myself at 9 o’clock at night needing something and had to go to All U Need or something, so that was the selling point.” When the opportunity arose for Smailes to buy a corner property right down the street from his house, he capitalized on it, and

with overwhelming support from the community, he opened the doors to the Green Arch Market six months later. “We went above and beyond because of the response from the community,” he said. “A lot of people went to the (zoning) meeting and said how excited they were for the store.” In addition to pushing for the zoning ordinance, Smailes and his wife Liz had a lot of work to do on the venue itself. Tin ceilings were replaced with double layers of fire-safe drywall, electrical work was done and the entire kitchen was installed.

Review: ‘Rio 2’ dazzling but overloaded (AP) — A vivid and delightful animated spectacle, “Rio 2” is chock-full of colorful 3-D wonder and jubilant musical numbers set against a tale of family dynamics and environmental dilemmas. The sequel opens with a vibrant New Year’s Eve bash, as partying in the music-filled streets of Rio de Janeiro is punctuated by fireworks bursting above the Christ the Redeemer statue. Supervised by composer John Powell, more emphasis has been placed on the music of this film, which benefits from numbers by artists like Bruno Mars (who also voices the smooth bird Roberto in the film), Janelle Monae and celebrated Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown. After mating in Brazil in 2011’s “Rio,” rare macaws Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel (Anne Hathaway) now have three lively kids who have become accus-

tomed to the same domestication Blu was brought up on in Minnesota. They’re attached to gadgets like iPods and eat pancakes for breakfast, which irks the raised-in-the-wild Jewel. But the family heads off to the Amazon rainforest, to Jewel’s delight and Blu’s strife, when they get wind that a tribe of blue macaws may live there and are being pursued by Blu’s past owner and animal lover, Linda (voiced by Leslie Mann), and her husband, Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro). With a few of the quirky supporting characters from the first film in tow including birds voiced by George Lopez (as frisky toucan Rafael) and Jamie Foxx and will.i.am (as rapping canary-and-cardinal duo Nico and Pedro) - they soar through a dazzling journey to the rainforest, making the often-wasted 3-D effect worth it as we take in the broad scope

and graphically layered flair. Once there, Jewel discovers the large macaw crew is led by her long-lost father (Andy Garcia), who is unimpressed with his daughter’s choice of a mate. He can’t help but roll his eyes over Blu’s use of a GPS or a Swiss Army kit rather than the use of his own sharp beak. But their classic in-law banter is sublimely comical. Brazilian native writerdirector Carlos Saldanha and Don Rhymer returned to pen the story. But they try too hard to make up for the minimalist plot of the original and drown in subplots: Blu battles with Jewel over staying in the wild versus returning to the city; Linda and Tulio clash with a few bad guys threatening to cut down the rainforest (the film’s eco push); and Blu’s old rival, Niguel (Jemaine Clement of “Flight of the Conchords”), pops up with a beautiful yet

HBO’S ‘Game of Thrones’ series renewed for 2 additional seasons NEW YORK (AP) — “Game of Thrones” rules. On the heels of its explosive fourth season premiere, HBO has renewed the epic fantasy series for two more years. The network promised more “dazzling storytelling” in those fifth and sixth seasons. Based on the best-selling book series by George R.R. Martin, “Game of Thrones” is set on the exotic, often wartorn continent of Westeros. Cast regulars include Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Charles Dance and Natalie Dormer. Sunday’s season debut was seen by 6.6 million viewers, making it HBO’s mostwatched program since the finale of “The Sopranos” in 2007. Its audience was 50 percent larger than for last season’s premiere.

poisonous neon pink and purple frog (an angelic and cutesy Kristin Chenoweth) plotting revenge. Phew! And then there are the moments when characters break out into song. Niguel’s hotshot rendition of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” seems a little illset when he really should be crooning a sinister track a la Ursula’s “Poor Unfortunate Souls” in “The Little Mermaid.” The sweet voice of Hathaway shines with her solo lullaby. But it’s Chenoweth’s Broadway-like delivery that trumps all when she belts out an anthem on forbidden love. Though the original songs here are whimsical and fun, few are irresistible. With so much going on, it’s a wonder this kids’ movie is only five minutes longer than the original. But for the music and brilliantly picturesque look, it’s worth the 3-D ticket.

Tailpipes to hold fundraiser for WVU Students for Sensible Drug Policy Tailpipes, a specialty burger restaurant on High Street, will host an event to raise funds and awareness for the West Virginia University Students for Sensible Drug Policy from 5 p.m.-midnight Thursday. The club hopes to use the fundraiser to bring revenue to the restaurant and raise funds for students to participate in various presentations and conferences. A percentage of the funds raised during this time will be used for a responsible approach to society’s drug problems. The WVU branch of Students for Sensible Drug Policy meets in the Greenbrier Room of the Mountainlair at 8 p.m. on Tuesdays. The club’s goal is to

promote the prohibition of marijuana, and numerous other drugs, in West Virginia. In partnership with several other state-based organizations, the club elects student officials to attend various state conferences to raise and promote awareness of the legalization of various drugs. The group also aims to raise awareness regarding the different ways the legalization of drugs, such as marijuana, could benefit Appalachia. The WVU Students for Sensible Drug Policy is propelled by impassioned students who hope to see the state of West Virginia gain from certain drug legalizations. —tmg

School of Music brings variety of jazz in spring concert

ERIN IRWIN/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

The WVU Contemporary Jazz Ensemble performs at the WVU Jazz Ensembles Concert presented by the WVU College of Creative Arts School of Music in the Gladys G. Davis Theatre Monday.

by jake jarvis a&E writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University School of Music hosted the annual Spring Jazz Ensembles Concert in the Gladys G. Davis Theatre of the Creative Arts Center Monday. Audience members were treated to different kinds of jazz composed both professionally and by students of the school. The groups were under the direction of Paul Scea, John Posey, Kyung Soo Hwang and Jeremy Carter. Scea, associate professor and director of Jazz Studies at WVU, is an artist affiliate with United Musical Instruments. Scea’s long line of credentials includes degrees from Western Washington University and the University of Iowa. Many students participating in the night’s events are pursuing a minor in jazz from the School of Music, which requires an in-

tense focus in the genre. The coursework ranges from participating in ensembles to studying the history of jazz. Eight different ensembles showcased their talent, each playing either one or two numbers, for a total of 12 performances. Nearly 30 students performed, many of which doubled over to different groups. “The Doublers” were unique in that members played for this ensemble with an instrument different from their primary one. So, someone who normally plays the saxophone may also played the piano. It was impressive to see their talents stretch over multiple instruments. Alex Charles, member of “The Doublers,” gave the audience a much needed laugh during his introduction of the group. “And my beautiful friend over here playing the alto saxophone is Jamal David-

son,” Charles said. “And my beautiful self is playing the trombone.” Perhaps the most enchanting performer of the evening was Jamie Sunshine in the ensemble “Hard Bop.” Sunshine was controlled and focused during the two numbers, Hank Mobley’s “Recado Bossa” and Benny Golson’s “Along Came Betty.” As the only girl in the group, she stuck out to audience members. During her solo, Sunshine shined with articulate rhythms and a confident presence. Who would have thought that playing the drums at such a level of difficulty could seem so easy? Audience members had mixed reactions to the melodies that were played. However, not everyone enjoyed the concert. “I’m a little unsure of the entertainment value of the concert, but I left pleased by the experience,” said James Siders, a Morgantown resident. “The musicians pulled off their performance with

‘Sharknado’ sequel to unleash flying sharks on New York with larger budget PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Get ready for more flying sharks. “Sharknado 2: The Second One” will take a bite out of New York City on July 30 in Syfy’s sequel to the campy classic that aired last summer. Ian Ziering and Tara Reid return from the original film that attracted nearly 1.37 million view-

ers. They’re joined by Vivica A. Fox and Mark McGrath, along with Kelly Osbourne, Judah Friedlander (“30 Rock”), Andy Dick, Judd Hirsch and Perez Hilton. Matt Lauer and Al Roker of “Today” and Robert Klein make cameo appearances. This time the mayhem moves from Los Angeles to the East Coast,

where a freak weather system unleashes sharks on the populace and famous sites such as Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. “It’s a whole different story, not just sharks ripping through flesh,” costar Kari Wuhrer said Tuesday at NBC’s summer TV presentation. “New York is a character

the top shark actors in the world.” The original film was a trending topic on Twitter, generating nearly 5,000 tweets a minute at its peak. “It’s unpretentious, it’s fun and you can turn it on at any point and instantly be entertained,” Friedlander said. “It’s very communal even though people aren’t

watching at a theater.” The film was shot over the same 18-day schedule as the original, with a slightly larger budget. It features more than 500 visual effects shots. “We’re trying to perfect the tornado on this one even more because we’re trying to make it a character,” said director Anthony Ferrante.

Jury awards Wallace 1.3M in Vegas lawsuit LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Nevada jury is awarding comedian George Wallace $1.3 million in damages for a leg injury he says he suffered while performing at a Las Vegas Strip resort in 2007. Tuesday’s verdict from an eight-member jury comes after two weeks of testimony in Clark County District Court and about 12 hours of deliberations. The 61-year-old stand-up comic known to many as Jerry Seinfeld’s friend had sought at least $7.1 million from the Bellagio Las Vegas hotel-casino, but he says he’s happy with the result. Bellagio attorneys denied that the hotel and its employees were responsible for Wallace’s Achilles tendon injury. Wallace testified that he’s permanently hobbled after tangling his leg in wiring onstage while he was giving a private performance for HSBC Card Services Inc.

‘Mad Men’ end in sight for Weiner with new season

WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM

NEW YORK (AP) — Chat with Matthew Weiner these days and you feel the added depth of his “Mad Men” immersion. When its bifurcated final season begins Sunday at 10 p.m. EDT on AMC (with seven episodes, to be followed by seven more next year), the second of those final hours will be shooting, while the fifth of seven final scripts will be taking shape on the page. And then? The looming end has taken root in the “Mad Men” conversation among fans, even as they mark time waiting for the 14 new installments. Meanwhile, Weiner, as the auteur of this landmark drama series, voices both resolve and wonderment at his task of bringing “Mad Men” in for a landing. His goal, he says, is not to wallop the audience with a grand parting shot, but something more gently profound: “to leave the characters in a place where they’re going to

be in viewers’ imaginations forever.” Weiner has said many times he hit upon some semblance of that “fitting end” several years ago. And yet: Pulling the plug on a TV series goes against every instinct of the person in charge, he says – the person whose primary duty is to keep the show alive and well, week after week. Even for a series veteran like Weiner (who was a writer-producer of “The Sopranos” as well as the sitcom “Becker”), his mission to end “Mad Men” is “a totally antithetical thing, an exercise that is outside my realm of experience.” Viewers will remember that at the close of last season, which spanned the stormy year of 1968, Don Draper (series star Jon Hamm) was left in disarray. He had been sidelined by his ad agency after suffering a meltdown at a client meeting. His loving wife, Megan (Jessica Pare), walked out on him after one too many

broken promises. The 1960s have been hard on Don. A man who, years before, assumed another man’s identity, he has shaped his sense of self, and his career, from cultural models that seem to grow increasingly outdated as the `60s wear on. Don – however charismatic and commanding his image is on a downward spiral as he hits middle age, fast becoming an old fogy in a youth-obsessed era. Or so it may have seemed to some viewers. Weiner doesn’t see him that way. “There’s been a constant assertion about Don being out of touch, and that, by 1968, his style of advertising isn’t working anymore. I’ve never felt that,” Weiner says. “What I do feel, particularly last season, is that society has caught up to him. Identity issues caught up with society, which made the society more like Don. He’s never been MORE in touch. “The world is changing. That was the original inten-

tion of the show. And change makes everybody feel out of place.” Indeed, there have been signals that Don, swamped by painful recognition, is braced to take corrective action. Last season’s fade-out found the man who, at the series’ start was fiercely guarded about his past, coming clean to his three kids: Don stood with them outside the former whorehouse where he, born Dick Whitman, was raised as an orphan. Now, how does the new season pick up the action? As usual, Weiner made sure the preview he shared with TV critics was accompanied by a laundry list of details not to be divulged: things like when it takes place and what’s going on with Don’s work and private life. What, then, can be shared? That the episode, written by Weiner, is richly satisfying. That the cast (also including Elisabeth Moss, John Slattery, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks and Aaron Sta-

ton) remains terrific. That the series seems headed confidently down its home stretch. Pretty much the rest is meant to stay hush-hush. But secrecy is not simply an obsession for Weiner. It’s a marketing strategy that serves “Mad Men” well. “This was a decision I made at the show’s pilot stage,” he says. He pointed to January Jones, who plays Don’s ex and at the show’s inception was still his wife. “She was not part of any of the press material for the first season, because I didn’t want anyone who watched the pilot to know until its final moments that Don was married.” Weiner laughs, recalling the first table read for this obscure new series on an alsoran network as he demanded confidentiality from his cast. “Everybody looked at me like we’d be LUCKY” if spoilers were a problem for this show. “They were thinking, `You REALLY want us to keep things a secret?’

“Not all entertainment has to be this way,” Weiner acknowledges, “but I thought that the surprise of our storytelling would be a smart marketing decision. Luckily, AMC agreed, right from the beginning.” And as Weiner hoped, it helped get the show noticed – and still does. Now the end is in sight. How to pull it off in a way that does justice to the series and its fans? And to viewers who have yet to discover it, and won’t until all the cats are out of the bag? “If `Mad Men’ continues to be watched after its ending airs, whoever approaches it will know how it ends,” Weiner muses almost wistfully. “However we end the show, there won’t be any more secrets. That’s kind of weird.” He means to leave a show behind that will satisfy latecomers, too. But that’s all ahead. “Before then,” he declares, “we’ve got a lot of ground to cover.”

Pitcher Zach Bargeron follows through on his delivery March 25.

WVU continues struggles, falls to Penn State 8-4 after disappointing third inning by connor murray associate sports editor @connorkmurray

The Mountaineers jumped out to a quick 3-1 lead in the early going but faltered late, dropping their fourth straight game with an 8-4 loss on the road against Penn State Tuesday. The Nittany Lions did the bulk of their offensive work against West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first two pitchers to enter the game: starter Trevor Simms, who gave up two runs on three hits in 2.0 innings pitched in his first career start, and reliever Zach Bargeron, who gave up five

runs in the bottom of the third. The five-run frame was the only one Bargeron completed as he allowed five hits and struck out one batter. Penn State starting pitcher Geoff Boylston battled his way through West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s batting order, allowing two earned runs on six hits in 5.2 innings. This was also the first start of Boylstonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career. The Nittany Lionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offensive attack was spearheaded by leadoff man Steve Snyder. He drove in two of Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight runs and reached base three times by way of two hits and a walk. Snyder also scored two runs himself.

West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main offensive threat to this point in the season has been senior first baseman Ryan McBroom. He kept his torrid-hitting pace going, driving in two of West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runs and collecting a hit in three at-bats. The top of West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s order did the bulk of the damage Tuesday night. Taylor Munden, Bobby Boyd and Billy Fleming registered six of the Mountaineersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 10 hits of the night. Redshirt freshman Ray Guerrini got his first career hit in the game and brought in two RBIs for the Mountaineers. After Penn State did its

damage in the first three innings, West Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bullpen was able to keep the game from getting too far out of hand. Pascal Paul came in to relieve Bargeron and was able to get through 3.0 full innings of scoreless work while giving up three hits to the 11 batters he faced. Ryan Hostrander and Joby Lapkowicz combined to pitch a scoreless bottom of the seventh, while Chad Donato gave up one run on two hits in the eighth. The win was Penn Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight home victory of the season. The Nittany Lions are now 8-0 at Medlar Field in

Lubrano Park. West Virginia will host its first ever Big 12 series at Hawley Field as a member of the conference when the Mountaineers take on Oklahoma State this weekend. The Cowboys will come in to Morgantown with a 5-4 record in Big 12 play and a 4-2 record on the road. After giving Simms the start tonight, head coach Randy Mazey will be able to go back to his top three starters: Harrison Musgrave, Sean Carley and John Means for the weekend series against Oklahoma State. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

The West Virginia football team held another open practice Saturday afternoon at the University of Charleston Stadium in the state capital. After open practices in Wheeling and Morgantown, WVU displayed its new brand product to fans and viewers in Charleston. After doing the Oklahoma Drill, along with working on individual drills, head coach Dana Holgorsen worked with the team to get ready for the annual Gold-Blue Spring game Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have a long way to go,â&#x20AC;? Holgorsen said in an interview with WVUsports. com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 practices in, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five more left. This is where we can get a lot of live reps in. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been happy with the guysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; energy. They have been excited about practicing, and it seems like they are having a good time and trying to push their teammates to get better. I am also happy with the cohesion on the coaching staff, as well.â&#x20AC;? Holgorsen said there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any injuries to report, and he likes what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen offensively and defensively from his squad up to this point of spring football. With the quarterback position, Holgorsen said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking in what he sees with the communication factor, similar to the previous years during this time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have to look at (senior quarterback) Paul Millard. I can just shoot him a look or a signal, and he knows because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done it for four

years,â&#x20AC;? Holgorsen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Senior quarterback) Logan Moore is new at it and so is (sophomore transfer quarterback) Skyler Howard, which is frustrating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also always looking out of the corner of my eye and pay attention to (senior quarterback) Clint Trickett. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always behind everybody, taking everything in and signaling. Probably around Sept. 1, I will feel better about where Skyler (Howard) is â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it just takes time.â&#x20AC;? Offensive coordinator Shannon Dawson addressed the quarterbacksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performances at the conclusion of practice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we got caught with the ball a couple times. Just put the ball in play. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re standing back there, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to have a clock in your head, especially when you get the ball down here in the redzone. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go backward. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to be taken out of field goal range. That frustrates me more than anything,â&#x20AC;? he said. Dawson, however, said he thinks the offense will be better suited for Big 12 Conference play in the 2014-15 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think as far as offense all-around, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re more suited,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deeper. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some experienced guys (who) have played. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With experience, I think we are ready. There is one key factor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the quarterback has to perform well. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to put someone in there (who) can do it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying anything positive or negative about any of those guys. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the fact of the matter.â&#x20AC;? amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

NCAA regulations in need of reform

Two weeks ago, the National Labor Relations Board took a giant step and ruled Northwestern football players have the right to unionize. After years of NCAA withholding power over student-athletes, the first significant step was taken in flipping the table. Actually seeing unionization happen will take years unless some kind of agreement is made. The case will be challenged and likely taken to the Supreme Court. But for now, there is another problem with the ruling. The National Labor Relations Board decision only applies to private institutions. Different states have their own labor laws and some donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even allow public employees to unionize at all. Top-tier athletes at state schools drive power conferences, the NCAA and lucrative television contracts. Of the 63 schools in the five power conferences (ACC, SEC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac 12), 51 are public. The schools that participated in the 2014 BCS Title Game (Florida State and Auburn) and the 201314 Final Four (Connecticut, Kentucky, Florida, Wisconsin) were all public institutions. Any development in the Northwestern case doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impact state or public schools. Student-athletes at these schools deserve just as much as the Kain Colters of Northwestern, but unionization at these schools isf unlikely because of state labor laws. I f s t u d e nt- at h l e t e s at public schools want change, they need to start fighting for reform and not fall into a Northwestern case, which only covers 20 percent of the schools in the five power conferences. Players cannot go on a soapbox for a salary. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to happen. The umbrella is too large, and there are too many decisions to make when it comes to paying players. Decision makers, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the NCAA or a new governing body of college athletics, would then have to decide if they will pay all athletes or just the athletes earning revenue for the school. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to decide if the firststring quarterback will be paid as much as the thirdstring defensive tackle. Then the issue of sending the athletes to school arises. There are just too many moving parts to decide whether or not athletes should be paid. That said, basic needs are important to athletes here at West Virginia University. Talking to student-athletes on a daily basis, I understand that paying rent is important, getting an extra training table meal would be helpful and providing more of a stipend is necessary. I imagine much of the same could be said for athletes at Ohio State, Texas, Cal or Florida. Student-athletes donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time for jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any profit for the jersey with their number that universities sell. Athletes spend more time on the football field, basketball court or baseball diamond than doing anything else. They still need to be able to live. Call for a little extra pocket money or ask the NCAA to consider an extra training table meal so the 320-lbs left guard doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go home hungry or have to salvage a few fries from Burger King because he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford anything else. Bring the important issues to the table. Start with reform that matters. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

FOOTBALL

Facilities upgrades aim to improve fan experience by kevin hooker sports writer @dailyatheaneum

When West Virginia University agreed to join the Big 12 Conference in July of 2012, it agreed to more than just playing new teams in new locations. As you’ve probably noticed, the Evansdale Campus is currently being renovated, with traffic becoming slower by the day. Six new buildings are either under construction or about to be constructed. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is

planning to add several public and private construction projects to boost the economy in the coming months and years. “The real impetus came when we joined the Big 12,” West Virginia University Athletic Director Oliver Luck told WVUsports. com. “We relayed that though we had nice facilities – and we still do in many cases – we are now competing against the very best in the country. When WVU was a member of the Big East, the Coliseum and Milan Puskar Stadium were considered

among the best in the conference. But now, in the Big 12, the school ranks anywhere from the middle to the bottom in overall fan experience. “I think our coaches, stu d e nt- at h l e te s a n d fans who travel to different places go ‘Wow.’ You take Gallagher-Iba Arena (Oklahoma State’s men’s and women’s basketball facility). It’s a historical venue, but they’ve updated it beautifully,” Luck said. “You look at Texas football or Baylor football. Baylor’s new football stadium will be the next big

thing everyone will be talking about.” In the six games at Mountaineer Field during 2013, roughly 53,000 fans attended on average, which ranks No. 4 in conference. According to Luck, the facilities at the stadium and Coliseum are woefully inadequate compared to the rest of the conference and still need more attention. “I went to (Iowa State University) two years ago and thought to myself, ‘This is exactly what we need to do with Milan Puskar Stadium,’” Luck said.

Iowa State’s Jack Trice Stadium is the secondnewest stadium in the Big 12 only behind WVU. Luck said he also sees need for improvement at the Coliseum, particularly in the main, narrow concourse where fans have to closely congregate. Based on its capacity, the Coliseum is over 100 units short of restroom requirements. “We need more restrooms, and we need to improve the concession areas,” Luck said. “There are more projects than we have money for at this

point.” The athletic department’s yearly budget is approximately $75 million, with that number expected to grow in the coming years. When Luck joined the University in the summer of 2010, the athletic budget was somewhere in the $50 million range. “There will be a lot of construction work going on between our two locations at (the) football (stadium) and the Coliseum complex in the coming years,” Luck said. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

TENNIS

West Virginia still waiting for regulation tennis courts by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Athletic Director Oliver Luck said during a press conference Tuesday at the WVU Coliseum, the Mountaineer Tennis Courts, which are located behind the Coliseum and the Shell Building, are in fact not the proper regulation playing size. The six outdoor tennis courts are one of the new-

est athletic facilities to WVU, having been moved to its current location in the late 1990s, and the only other facility to be built in the past 30 years has been the soccer stadium, Dick Dlesk Stadium. Luck said these courts are not the proper competition size, even though they’re fairly new. “The tennis courts right down the hill here really are not of proper competition size, (which) might be a little bit of a shock to find

that out,” Luck said. This statement about the tennis courts was brought up during Luck’s comments regarding the $106 million worth of renovations to WVU athletic facilities in the near future, for which funds are allotted to fix this issue. Though, with many potential projects to be completed once the final approval of this facilities plan is conducted by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission, the tennis court is just an-

other one on the list of athletic facility inadequacies. This bad news can only hurt the Mountaineer tennis program and first-year head coach Miha Lisac as his squad is currently on a seven-match losing streak and is still searching for their first Big 12 Conference win. Although the improper court sizes will not be getting fixed anytime soon, the Mountaineers play their home matches at the Ridgeview Racquet Club in

Morgantown, an indoor facility with the correct court regulations. With this issue not directly affecting the Mountaineers when hosting matches, it still affects the team during the fall and spring seasons. West Virginia uses the outdoor courts for practice, which can greatly affect their play on regulation courts. Luck said it is important to make the tennis courts proper competition size. However, no time frame

has been announced to when these changes will occur for the WVU tennis program. “We need to figure out how to get them to proper competition size, that’s obviously importance for us,” Luck said. The Mountaineers will wrap up their regular season agaisnt the Iowa State Cyclones Sunday at 11 a.m. at the Ridgeview Racquet Club. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Napier leads ‘hungry Huskies’ to national title ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Coaches and players left them. Others told them to go away. The guys who stuck around at UConn ended up with the last laugh and a pretty good prize to go with it: The national title. Shabazz Napier turned in another all-court masterpiece Monday night to lift the Huskies to a 60-54 win over Kentucky’s freshmen and bring home a championship hardly anyone saw coming. “You’re looking at the hungry Huskies,” Napier told the crowd and TV audience as confetti rained down. “Ladies and gentlemen, this is what happens when you banned us.” The senior guard had 22 points, six rebounds and three assists, and his partner in defensive lockdown, Ryan Boatright, finished with 14 points. The victory comes only a short year after the Huskies were barred from March Madness because of grades problems. That stoked a fire no one could put out in 2014. Napier kneeled down and put his forehead to the court for a long while after the buzzer sounded. He was wiping back tears when he cut down the net. “I see my guys enjoying it,” Napier said. “That’s the most special feeling ever.” UConn (32-8) never trailed in the final. The Huskies led by as many as 15 in the first half and watched the Wildcats (2911) trim the deficit to one with 8:13 left. But Aaron Harrison, who pulled out

wins with clutch 3-pointers in Kentucky’s last three games, missed a 3 from the left corner that would’ve given the Cats the lead. Kentucky never got that close again. One key difference in a six-point loss: Kentucky’s 11 missed free throws – a flashback of sorts for coach John Calipari, whose Memphis team blew a late lead against Kansas after missing multiple free throws in the 2008 final. The Wildcats went 13 for 24. UConn went 10 for 10, including Lasan Kromah’s two to seal the game with 25.1 seconds left. “We had our chances to win,” Calipari said. “We’re missing shots, we’re missing free throws. We just didn’t have enough.” Calipari said he decided not to foul at the end “because they’re not missing.” In all, Calipari’s One and Doners got outdone by a more fundamentally sound, more-seasoned group that came into this tournament a seventhseeded afterthought but walked away with the program’s fourth national title since 1999. They were the highest seed to win it all since Rollie Massimino’s eighthseeded Villanova squad in 1985. Napier and Boatright now go down with Kemba Walker, Emeka Okafor, Rip Hamilton, Ray Allen and all those other UConn greats. This adds to the school’s titles in 1999, 2004 and 2011. “When they say Ray,

Rip, Ben, Emeka, Kemba – they’ll soon say Shabazz,” said their former coach, Jim Calhoun, who was in the crowd along with former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and a father-andson team whose dance to the “Happy” song got huge applause when played on the big screen at AT&T Stadium. The crowd was cheering for UConn at the end. A short year ago, the Huskies were preparing for their first season in the new American Athletic Conference after the Big East Catholic schools decided to move on and none of the socalled power conferences wanted them. Calhoun, who built the program, left because of health problems. And most damaging – the NCAA ban triggered an exodus of five key players to the NBA or other schools. Napier stuck around. So did Boatright. And Calhoun’s replacement, Kevin Ollie, figured out how to make their grit, court sense and loyalty pay off. “It’s not about going to the next level, it’s not about going to the pros, but playing for your university, playing for your teammates,” Niels Giffey said. “And I’m so proud of all the guys on this team that stuck with this team.” They were one step ahead of Kentucky all night, holding off furious rally after furious rally.

UCONN students celebrate on campus STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Jubilant fans celebrating UConn’s Monday night national basketball championship win smashed a window in an engineering building, broke street lights and overturned furniture inside the school’s student union. Campus police had made 30 arrests by 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, while state police had made others and more were expected, said University of Connecticut spokesman Tom Breen. “A lot of it was alcoholrelated,” Breen said. “There was breech of peace, destruction of property, and we had a fireworks charge.” Most of the property damage was minor, he said. No serious injuries had been reported. “By far, most of our students have conducted themselves safely and responsibly,” UConn Police Chief Barbara O’Connor said. More than 10,000 UConn students shook the stands

inside Gampel Pavilion, erupted in cheers and stormed the arena floor as the Huskies beat Kentucky 60-54 in the NCAA title game, giving the program its fourth national championship, and second in four years. “I’m just so happy to be a Husky right now,” said Mike Butkus, a 21-year-old senior from Naugatuck. “So much pride. The last 20 years, you’d be hard-pressed to find a program more successful than us.” Students waited in line for up to four hours to get a seat inside the arena just to watch on three large movie screens as their team played 1,700 miles away in Arlington, Texas. The arena was filled a half-hour after the doors opened, and hundreds more fans were turned away. “It’s my first year of college, you’ve got to go big,” said Ryan Massicotte, an 18-year-old freshman from

Naugatuck who was sporting a fuzzy Husky dog hat and sunglasses with the dog logo on each lens. “You’ve got to show it off the right way.” The students sang the national anthem, chanted “Let’s go Huskies” before the tip, roared when the home team was introduced and booed the Kentucky players. The stands shook every time Shabazz Napier made a 3-pointer. The pep band and school dance team entertained the crowd during timeouts. They jumped up and down chanting “I believe that we will win” as their Huskies struggled through a second-half rally by Kentucky. A few minutes later, as the final seconds ticked off the clock in Texas, they pushed their way on the floor, turning it into a giant mosh pit as their belief became a 6054 reality.

Young (20 points, seven rebounds) posterized Amida Brimah with a monster dunk to start a three-point play and trigger an 8-0 run. In the middle of that, Boatright, who shut down Harrison’s twin brother, Andrew, most of the night, twisted his left ankle while receiving an innocuouslooking pass from Napier. He called a timeout. Got it worked on and came back out. “I’ve got a lot of heart and I wasn’t coming out,” Boatright said. “We put in too much work all year for me to give up on an ankle sprain.” Napier and Giffey made 3s on UConn’s two possessions after the timeout, and that one-point lead was back up to five – fairly comfortable by this tight, taut, buzzer-beating tournament’s standards. The big question in Kentucky is what will happen to all those freshmen. Julius Randle (10 points, six rebounds) is a lottery pick if he leaves for the NBA. Young and the Harrison brothers could be first-rounders. The big question is whether they’ll want to leave on this note. “I think all these kids are coming back, so I think we should be good,” Calipari deadpanned, getting big laughs.

But they got outdone by a team on a different sort of mission – a team led by Napier, who stuck with the program even though he knew the 2012-13 season was for nothing but fun. But what fun 2013-14 turned out to be. Napier was named the Final Four’s Most Outstanding Player and he earned it on both ends of the court, keeping a hand in Aaron Harrison’s face most of the night and holding him to a 3-for-7,

seven-point, no-damage night. He could also shoot it a bit – including a 3-pointer in the first half when UConn was having trouble dissecting the Kentucky zone. The shot came from about 30 feet, right in front of the edge of the Final Four logo at Center Court, or, as Dick Vitale put it: “He shot that one from Fort Worth.” They felt it back in Storrs, where they could be celebrating another title shortly. The UConn women play for the national title Tuesday.

Third base coach Bobby Dickerson, left, congratulates Delmon Young as he rounds the bases Tuesday. NEW YORK (AP) — Delmon Young, Adam Jones and Matt Wieters homered as the Baltimore Orioles teed off for 20 hits, battering the New York Yankees 14-5 Tuesday. Young and Wieters each drove in three runs, and Jones delivered one of the Orioles’ four doubles at a half-empty Yankee Stadium. Everyone in Baltimore’s starting lineup got a hit and scored a run. The Orioles posted their secondhighest hit total in the Bronx, eclipsed only by a 22-hit outburst in 1986. By the late innings, the game took on a spring training feel. The Yankees pulled several starters and the often-demanding crowd didn’t even bother to boo while the Birds ran around the bases. There was a big cheer, however, when two fans sprinted onto the grass

and were tackled in the outfield by a wave of security personnel. Wei-Yin Chen (1-1) weathered five innings for the win, giving up four runs and nine hits. Ivan Nova (1-1) was tagged for seven runs and 10 hits in 3 2-3 innings. For all the big hits, it was a little grounder that helped things get out of hand at the start. After Nick Markakis led off the game with a single, Young followed with a bouncer up the middle. Many shortstops in the majors could’ve turned it into a double play, but 39-year-old Derek Jeter couldn’t quite get to it and the ball skipped under his glove for a single. Chris Davis followed with a sacrifice fly, and Jones hit his first homer of the season for a 3-0 lead. The Orioles chased Nova with a three-run fourth

that made it 7-1 and added four more in the sixth. Alfonso Soriano and Kelly Johnson hit solo home runs for the Yankees. Rookie Yangervis Solarte struck again, too, with a pair of doubles – he’s hit safely in his first six career starts and is 11 for 24 overall with six doubles. Young was 1 for 6 this season before manager Buck Showalter gave him this start. The designated hitter had an RBI single in the fourth that finished Nova and added his first homer, a two-run drive in the sixth. Wieters connected in the eighth. Ryan Flaherty also had three hits for the Orioles after starting the year in a 1-for-21 rut. One of his hits was an early bunt single when Francisco Cervelli, a catcher making his first pro appearance at first base, ranged too far wide

and in to field the ball. NOTES: Carlos Beltran’s RBI double marked the first run permitted by Baltimore in the first inning this season. ... Nova had allowed four or fewer earned runs in 24 straight starts since September 2012. That was tied with Hiroki Kuroda for the longest such string by a Yankees pitcher since Ron Guidry’s 27-game streak ended in 1982. ... With David Robertson on the disabled list, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said RHP Shawn Kelley will likely be the closer. ... Orioles SS J.J. Hardy was out of the starting lineup for the third game in a row because of back spasms. ... Soriano hit his 407th career home run. ... RHP Masahiro Tanaka (1-0) starts the series finale Wednesday night in his Yankee Stadium debut vs. RHP Miguel Gonzalez (0-1).

Pistorius wails while testifying PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) — A subdued Oscar Pistorius on Tuesday described dinner at home, chatting and looking at cell phone photos with Reeva Steenkamp on the last night of her life. Then he erupted in anguished howls and heaving sobs while testifying at his murder trial about the moments when he says he realized he shot his girlfriend through a closed toilet door. The shocking spectacle of what appeared to be a tormented man highlighted the drama of Pistorius’ inspirational rise and sudden fall. The South African double-amputee runner captured the world’s attention when he successfully fought for permission to run in the 2012 Olympics on his carbon-fiber prostheses. The very next year, he was facing charges for killing the woman he said he loved. The court in Pretoria, the South African capital, adjourned because of the star athlete’s breakdown, ending a day in which Pistorius spoke of the loving aspects of his relationship with Steenkamp in testimony designed to counter a prosecution picture of him as temperamental and overbearing, and then outlined his version of the final hours before the shooting. “I sat over Reeva and I cried,” Pistorius said, telling how he broke open the stall door in his bathroom in the early hours of Feb. 14, 2013 to discover his bloodied girlfriend slumped in the cubicle. “I don’t know how long I was there for.” Pistorius has said in statements that he shot Steenkamp after mistaking her for an intruder in his bathroom. Tuesday marked the

first time he has spoken publicly about the details of the fatal shooting. Prosecutors call Pistorius’ story an intricate lie and maintain he intentionally killed his 29-year-old girlfriend, a model and reality TV show star, after an argument. The 27-year-old Olympian faces a life sentence with a minimum of 25 years before parole if convicted of premeditated murder. The judge, Thokozile Masipa, will deliver the verdict because South Africa does not have a jury system. Pistorius has often shown emotion while listening to testimony since the trial began March 3, burying his head in his hands, weeping and even vomiting on a couple of occasions. Tuesday’s outburst on the witness stand was his most demonstrative, and it forced a brief adjournment. Pistorius didn’t stand up when the judge left, and also started to wail as he slumped in his seat. His brother and sister went over to comfort him. After a while he left the courtroom through a side door, still crying. When Masipa returned, she ended proceedings for the day. Pistorius had by that time come back, jaw clenched, to the witness box. He was composed when he left the court and walked to a waiting vehicle. The trial was to reconvene on Wednesday. Led by defense lawyer Barry Roux for the second day of his testimony, the runner provided more detail about his timeline of events leading up to the shooting. He said the couple had dinner about 7 p.m. and later sat chatting in the bedroom with the television on, and that Steenkamp showed

Like us on

him some photographs on her phone. He said he fell asleep between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. and woke up early the next morning. At that point, he said, Steenkamp asked him: “Can’t you sleep?” ‘”No, I can’t,’” Pistorius said he replied. Then he said stepped out to the balcony to get fans, and when he returned to the darkened bedroom he heard a noise from the bathroom. “That’s the moment that everything changed,” Pistorius testified. Pistorius said he felt fearful and vulnerable as he moved to the bathroom, walking only on his stumps because he had removed his prosthetic legs before going to bed. He said he was screaming for Steenkamp to call the police. “I wasn’t sure if someone was going to come out the toilet and attack me,” he said. He also testified he heard a door slam, which he said he took as “confirmation” that there was an intruder in the bathroom, and fired four shots at the toilet cubicle with his 9 mm pistol. After the shots, Pistorius said, he searched for Steenkamp in his bedroom, patting the bed where he says he thought she was in the dark, searching on the floor next to it where he thought she might be hiding, and also behind the curtains. “It was at that point ... that it first dawned on me that maybe it was Reeva in the toilet,” Pistorius said. He said he screamed for help. Neighbors of Pistorius who were called by the prosecution have testified that they heard a woman’s terrified screams before and during what they thought were gunshots. Some also

Facebook

said they thought they heard a man’s voice. The defense has suggested that the neighbors heard only Pistorius screaming and not a woman. In earlier testimony Tuesday, Pistorius denied three other charges against him relating to firing a gun in public on two occasions, and illegal possession of ammunition. He said he wasn’t to blame for a shot going off in a busy Johannesburg restaurant because a friend handed him an “unsafe” gun with a bullet in the chamber under the table. He also said he wasn’t guilty of illegally possessing .38-caliber ammunition in his home because he was safekeeping it for his father and he had no intention to use it. Pistorius was born without fibula bones because of a congenital defect, and his legs were amputated when he was 11 months old. He ran on carbon-fiber blades and is a multiple Paralympic medalist. He competed at the London Olympics but didn’t win a medal. In a dramatic scene before the packed courtroom Tuesday, Pistorius left briefly at one point to change out of his dark suit and into a white shirt and shorts, similar to the clothes he was wearing when he killed Steenkamp. Prompted by his lawyer, Pistorius then took off his prosthesis and stood on his stumps by the bulletmarked toilet door, which has remained in the courtroom for much of the trial. It appeared to be an effort by the defense to illustrate what they describe as the Olympian’s vulnerability at the time of the shooting.

Israel bars Palestinian Olympian from leaving Gaza GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel has barred 30 runners, including an Olympic athlete, from leaving the Gaza Strip to participate in a marathon later this week, highlighting Israel’s tight restrictions on travel in and out of the Hamas-ruled territory, Palestinian officials said Tuesday. In the case of the Olympic runner, Nader Masri, the travel ban was upheld Tuesday by Israel’s Supreme Court. Masri, 34, participated in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Separately, 36 young musicians requested to leave Gaza for a weeklong music competition in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, but were also denied permission, organizers said. An Israeli defense official said a final decision has not been made. The competition begins Wednesday. The cases underscored Israel’s restrictions on Gaza, which human rights activists argue amount to collective punishment and are often arbitrary. They say the travel ban is part of an Israeli attempt to sever ties between Gaza and the West Bank, territories that lie on opposite ends of Israel and are sought by

the Palestinians for a future state, along with east Jerusalem. Israel and Gaza’s other neighbor, Egypt, have severely limited access to Gaza since the territory was seized by the Islamic militant Hamas in 2007. Virtually all exports from Gaza are banned and most of Gaza’s 1.7 million people cannot travel abroad. Israel considers Hamas, which has killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks, a terrorist group. The Palestinian Olympic Committee said it had asked Israel for permits for the 30 runners to leave Gaza so they could attend the second annual international marathon in the West Bank town of Bethlehem on Friday. Itidal al-Mugrabi, a senior official in the committee, said all requests were denied last month. She said the Bethlehem event, which will also include shorter races, was expected to draw some 700 runners from Europe in addition to local athletes. After being denied a permit, Masri approached the Israeli rights group Gisha, which appealed to Israel’s Supreme Court. The judges ruled Tues-

day that they could not intervene in the defense minister’s policy considerations, but suggested the military consider more exemptions from the travel ban. Masri said he was disappointed. “The ban no doubt limits my ability to challenge other champions from elsewhere,” Masri said. He said he trains daily in the streets and three times a week in a local gym. Ostensibly, Ma s r i should have stood a good chance of getting the exit permit even under Israel’s stringent criteria. Those permitted to leave Gaza, at least in principle, include members of the Palestinian Olympic team and the Palestinian soccer team, according to guidelines published in 2011 by the branch of Israel’s military dealing with implementing the policy toward Gaza. According to that list, exceptions are also made for Gaza residents seeking to attend events in the West Bank sponsored by the Palestinian Authority, the selfrule government of Hamas’ political rival, President Mahmoud Abbas. Maj. Guy Inbar, an Israeli defense official, said

Palestinian athlete Nader Masri poses with his jersey in 2008. Masri’s request was denied because it “does not meet the rules for exceptions for sports events.” Inbar said the Bethlehem marathon sponsored by the Palestinian Authority “has political overtones,” but did not elaborate. He initially said that others who applied for permits were support staff,

but then said he needed to check that information. Eitan Diamond, the head of Gisha, said underlying Israel’s policy is an attempt to “create a divide between the West Bank and Gaza, to remove Gaza from the consciousness of the Israeli public, to push Gaza away.” Israel captured the West

Bank, Gaza and east Jerusalem in 1967. It withdrew from Gaza in 2005, but continues to control access by air, land and sea. Much of the international community considers the lands captured in 1967 as a single territorial unit, in contrast to Israel’s claim that Gaza is no longer occupied.

Kentucky wilts at foul line in title game defeat ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Another team coached by John Calipari was done in at that harmless strip of paint just 15 feet from the basket. After shooting well from the free throw line much of the season, the kids from Kentucky wilted when it mattered most Monday night. Their inability to make one of the simplest shots in basketball was a big reason why the Wildcats lost 60-54 to Connecticut in the national championship game. “Well, you could say that, but the way we started the game probably cost us the game,’’ said Kentucky coach John Calipari, whose team found itself in an early 30-15 hole

and never led. Kentucky was 13 of 24 from the line and missed its final three attempts when the game was still in the balance. The last of them, a miss by Alex Poythress, would have cut the Wildcats’ deficit to 56-53 with 3:47 remaining. In s t e a d , t h e l e a d swelled to six when DeAndre Daniels scored at the other end for UConn, and the Wildcats never had a chance to get within a single possession the rest of the way. Making it all the more frustrating: UConn was 10 for 10 from the line. Asked whether that decided the game, Kentucky’s Aaron Harrison re-

plied, “Maybe so.’’ So instead of Calipari’s latest bunch of one-anddone stars cutting down the nets during ‘’One Shining Moment,’’ it was UConn joyously romping around the court inside AT&T Stadium, the confetti falling from the rafters as Kentucky players filed slowly toward the locker room. Their free throw struggles recalled memories of the 2008 title game, when a Memphis team coached by Calipari struggled down the stretch against Kansas. In that game, the Jayhawks fouled the poorshooting Tigers when they had to rally late in regulation. Memphis responded

by missing four of its final five free throws. And that was enough for Kansas to overcome its big deficit and ultimately win in regulation. During that stretch before OT, Kansas made all of its shots, including its free throws. Asked whether it entered Calipari’s mind, he replied flatly: ‘’No.’’ UConn was just as maddeningly efficient as Kansas at the line, though, making the troubles of Kentucky all the more glaring: The Huskies never missed, and their final two free throws by Lasan Kromah with 25 seconds left sealed their fourth national championship. James Young was 8 of 9 from the foul line for Ken-

tucky, and finished with 20 points. But the rest of the team was 5 for 15, including lousy shooting from Julius Randle (4 of 7) and fellow big man Dakari Johnson, who was 1 of 4 the line. It wasn’t just the misses that hurt the Wildcats, either. It was their inability to get there. Their best foul shooters, twin guards Aaron and Andrew Harrison, made it to the line only once, and Aaron missed. They were hounded all night by UConn guards Shabazz Napier and Ryan Boatright, who prevented them from getting to the rim as they had all tournament. The Wildcats, who were

seeking their ninth national championship, shot 68 percent from the line for the season. Only three times had they shot worse than they did in the national championship, twice overcoming the poor efforts to squeeze out victories. None of those teams was UConn, though. And none of those games was for the national championship. “Tough way to go out but at the same time, we proved a lot of people wrong,’’ Johnson said. “We just had a great season and obviously we would have wanted to be on the other end the last game. We just had a tremendous season and we shouldn’t feel down.’’

NBA decisions loom for several Wildcats ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — One by one, players in the Kentucky locker room said essentially the same thing: They had not given the NBA a second thought, much less a first, during their stirring Final Four run. They’d better start thinking about it now. With millions of dollars hanging in the balance, Julius Randle, Aaron and Andrew Harrison and a bunch of other Wildcats soon will have to make one of the biggest decisions of their lives. Their deadline to declare for the draft is April 27, less than three weeks away. “Now that the season is over, it’s about the players. It’s no longer about the program,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said after a 60-56 loss to Connecticut in Monday night’s title game. “It’s about each individual player on this team now,” Calipari said. “They sacrificed. They surrendered to each other now, for our team and our program and our school. Season’s over. Now it’s about them. And we’ll sit down with each of them and they will make the decisions.” James Young and Dakari Johnson are also candidates to join Randle and the Harrison twins on the one-and-done path. Sophomore big men Willie Cauley-Stein and Alex Poythress also could declare. Kentucky guard Aaron Harrison drives to the basket past Connecticut guard Ryan Boatright, rear, duri … “I love school. I love being at Kentucky,” said Cauley-Stein, a 7-footer who missed the Final Four with an ankle injury. “I love the fan base. I love the community. I love the people there, so why not stay until they make you leave? It just

gets better as you get older. “But there are so many different things going through my head,” Cauley-Stein said. “There’s that other thing, millions of dollars, being able to work on your game, and only your game.” Randle, a potential lottery pick, said he had kept thoughts of the NBA at bay. “Never talked to coach or my family about it,” Randle said after scoring 10 points and pulling down six rebounds against UConn. “I’m sure it will be brought up, but I have no clue.” The Harrisons, likewise, said they were focused only on delivering the Wildcats their ninth national championship. Afterward, they declined to even offer a timetable for their decision. “It’s really thinking about this game,” Aaron Harrison said quietly. “It’s one of the biggest games in my career and we didn’t win, and I didn’t play my best. That’s pretty much all I’ll really be thinking about. I’m not thinking about next year or anything like that. I don’t know.” This is hardly unfamiliar ground for Calipari and Kentucky. More like a rite of spring. Since taking over the program five seasons ago, Calipari has produced 17 draft picks. Ten of those left after one season. No other coach has had more than five one-and-done players. Calipari’s biggest bonanza came in 2012, after the Wildcats won the national title. Anthony Davis was picked first overall, and fellow freshmen Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Marquis Teague were joined by Terrance Jones, Darius Miller and Doron Lamb in giving Kentucky six selections. Calipari had five draft picks in 2010, four in 2011 and two last season.
