PRT to shut down for upgrades By Jacob Bojesson Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Students planning to take classes on campus this summer will have to rely on alternative transportation as the Personal Rapid Transit system will be closed for renovations beginning May 5. The shutdown is part of a $108 million renovation project that is scheduled to be finalized in August 2016. Replacement buses will

be running between the campuses, and the PRT will resume its normal operations Aug. 11. “It’s a mixture of capital projects and maintenance,” said Arlie Forman, associate director of the PRT adminstration. “There will be several more summer shutdowns in the coming years in order to support these major projects that are just getting underway.” The PRT has transported an average of 15,000 daily

passengers on weekdays since its opening in 1975. In order to increase efficiency and reliability, several upgrades will be made over the summer. “It’s mainly to finish the installation of the propulsion units for the vehicles while also preparing a tunnel that’s located just south of the medical center station,” Forman said. “In addition to that we will also be replacing a substation that had cut fare about a year ago, and

that substation is located just south of the Engineering station.” The main focus of the upgrades will be in replacing the propulsion system in the vehicles, which serves the function of an engine. With a brand new propulsion system at work, the hope is to see less system breakdowns in the future, and when the substation on the Evansdale Campus reopens, more vehicles will be able to operate at the same

time. Forman said the goal is to decrease waiting time and avoid the ever-occurring breakdowns by the final renovation completion date in fall 2016. “It will be a major upgrade to the PRT system,” Forman said. “The system will look the same, but hopefully it will be (more effective).” Buses will run throughout the summer months Monday through Friday 6:30 a.m.–6 p.m. with stops at

WVU basketball stars spend time off the court, spend time with local youth BY CAroline Peters Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Two star players of the West Virginia University men’s basketball team, Juwan Staten and Terry Henderson, visited the Morgantown Early Learning Facility Monday morning. The learning facility offers education to pre-school-aged children. A group of WVU public relations students arranged the event to sponsor their capstone project. Staten and Henderson spoke with each small class of students individually about the importance of staying hydrated, stretching and eating healthy foods. “The biggest thing was to get them to engage, and I think we were able to accomplish that,” Staten said. “Just giving back is the best part of being here. Just being able to put a smile on these kids’ faces is incredible, especially when you don’t get the chance to interact with kids everyday.” Staten said he has a lot of nieces and nephews, so he enjoys interacting with kids. “It’s always funny listening to what kids have to say,” Staten said. “Even though they are small and young, these kids are opinionated and smart. I can tell that they’re learning about staying healthy, and I was surprised with all that they already knew.” After speaking to the kids, the basketball players spent time on the basketball court with the children. From there, Staten and Henderson showed the kids how to shoot, dunk and have fun. Henderson said escaping the demands of being on the basketball team for the day was something he needed. “It was nice to just get away for the day and enjoy the company of these kids,” he said. “It was great seeing their

Film to talk alcohol, drug recovery, addiction by meagan carpenter

Sophomore Terry Henderson lifts a boy up to dunk Monday morning.

SUMMER PRT SHUTDOWN

“The Anonymous People,” a documentary film, focuses on the 23.5 million Americans living in long-term recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. The film will be shown Wednesday evening in the Gluck Theatre. Long-term treatments, such as anonymous, free 12-step programs cost roughly $350 billion annually. Susie Mullens is an advocate for this film, works for First Choice Services Inc. in Charleston, W.Va. ,and is the program director for Appalachian Technology Assisted Recovery Innovations. In West Virginia, there is a need for a Recovery Community Organization. Currently, there is not an organization that gives a voice to people who are recovering addicts in West Virginia. “Since our organization is about helping people enter recovery, I thought it would be great for us to help others be able to see this film,” Mul-

lens said. The documentary was first shown in Huntington, W.Va., and this will be the first time Morgantown or the West Virginia University community will have an opportunity to see the documentary. “In our society, we hear a lot about the problems and issues that are created from addiction, but what we don’t hear about is the road to recovery from the addiction,” Mullens said. “This film really shows how people can reclaim their lives from addiction and live fully.” A portion of the documentary focuses on the recovery of public figures during the 1970s prior to the war on drugs, and many were very open and public about their recovery. Over time, they were fearful of discrimination and stigma and eventually stopped being as vocal about recovery, somewhat driving the recovery movement to silence. “We are hoping to put the spotlight on the positive aspects of

ever, when these kids see people they admire, it helps carry the message that these athletes can be healthy and still have a lot of fun.” Stephanie Leon, a public relations student involved in the capstone project, said the players visited ELF to help let people know about other upcoming events. “The incentive for today’s event was to promote our drop-off event that is going to raise supplies for the children,” Leon said. “The first 50 people to come donate at least three supplies will get an autographed photograph from the (basketball) team.” The capstone group will host its Stuff the Bus, supply drive April 26 from 1-3

Post, Guardian win Pulitzers for NSA revelations NEW YORK (AP) — The Washington Post and The Guardian won the Pulitzer Prize in public service Monday for revealing the U.S. government’s sweeping surveillance programs in a blockbuster series of stories based on secret documents supplied by NSA leaker Edward Snowden. The Pulitzer for breaking news was awarded to The Boston Globe for its “exhaustive and empathetic” coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing and the manhunt that followed. Two of the nation’s biggest and most distinguished newspapers, The Post and The New York Times, won two Pulitzers each, while the other awards were scattered among a variety of publications large and small. The stories about the National Security Agency’s spy programs revealed that the government has systematically collected information about millions of Americans’ phone calls and emails in its effort to head off ter-

rorist attacks. The resulting furor led President Barack Obama to impose limits on the surveillance. The reporting “helped stimulate the very important discussion about the balance between privacy and security, and that discussion is still going on,” Sig Gissler, administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes. The NSA stories were written by Barton Gellman at The Washington Post and Glenn Greenwald, Laura Poitras and Ewen MacAskill, whose work was published by The Guardian US, the British newspaper’s American operation, based in New York. “I think this is amazing news,” Poitras said. “It’s a testament to Snowden’s courage, a vindication of his courage and his desire to let the public know what the government is doing.” Snowden, a former contract employee at the NSA, has been charged with espionage and other offenses in the U.S. and could get 30

years in prison if convicted. He has received asylum in Russia. In a statement issued by the Freedom of the Press Foundation, Snowden saluted “the brave reporters and their colleagues who kept working in the face of extraordinary intimidation, including the forced destruction of journalistic materials, the inappropriate use of terrorism laws, and so many other means of pressure to get them to stop.” Snowden’s supporters have likened his disclosures to the release of the Pentagon Papers, the secret Vietnam War history whose publication by The New York Times in 1971 won the newspaper a Pulitzer. His critics have branded him a criminal. “To be rewarding illegal conduct, to be enabling a traitor like Snowden, to me is not something that should be rewarded with a Pulitzer Prize,” said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y. “Snowden has violated his oath. He has put

American lives at risk.” At The Boston Globe, the newsroom was closed off to outsiders, and staff members marked the announcement of the breaking-news award – coming just a day before the anniversary of the bombing – with a moment of silence for the victims. “There’s nobody in this room who wanted to cover this story. Each and every one of us hopes that nothing like it ever happens again on our watch,” Globe Editor Brian McGrory told the newsroom. The bombing last April 15 that killed three people and wounded more than 260 also led to a Pulitzer in the feature photography category for Josh Haner of The New York Times, for his photo essay on a blast victim who lost his legs. The Times also won in the breaking-news photography category, for Tyler Hicks’ coverage of the Westgate mall terrorist attack in Kenya.

The Washington Post won a second Pulitzer in the explanatory reporting category, for Eli Saslow’s look at food stamps in America. The Pulitzers are given out each year by Columbia University on the recommendation of a board of distinguished journalists and others. The two winners of the public service award will receive gold medals. The other awards carry a $10,000 prize. The Center for Public Integrity’s Chris Hamby won for investigative reporting for detailing how lawyers and doctors rigged a system to deny benefits to coal miners suffering from black lung disease. The prize for national reporting went to David Philipps of The Gazette of Colorado Springs, Colo., for an investigation that found that the Army has discharged escalating numbers of traumatized combat veterans who commit crimes at home. The Pulitzer for inter-

national reporting was awarded to Jason Szep and Andrew R.C. Marshall of Reuters for their coverage of the violent persecution of a Muslim minority in Myanmar. The Oregonian won for editorial writing for its focus on reforms in Oregon’s public employee pension fund. The prize was the third in the newspaper’s history for editorial writing. The Tampa Bay Times’ Will Hobson and Michael LaForgia in Florida won in local reporting for writing about squalid housing for the homeless. “These reporters faced long odds. They had to visit dicey neighborhoods late at night. They had to encourage county officials to be courageous and come forth with records,” said Neil Brown, Tampa Bay Times editor and vice president. “And in the end, what they were ultimately doing was standing up for people who had no champion and no advocate.”

Rocket leak delays space station delivery launch CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A space station cargo ship will remain Earthbound for a while longer because of a rocket leak. With just over an hour remaining, the SpaceX company called off Monday’s planned launch. Officials said they believe the problem can be fixed by Friday, the next opportunity for flying and the last chance before astronauts do urgent spacewalking repairs. A helium leak in the firststage of the unmanned Falcon rocket forced a halt to the countdown, the latest delay spanning the past month. Over the weekend, NASA almost postponed the launch attempt because of a computer outage at the International Space Station. But mission managers decided Sunday that everything would be safe for the arrival of the Dragon capsule and its 2½ tons of supplies. The computer, a critical backup, failed outside the space station Friday as flight controllers were trying to activate it for a routine software load. The primary computer has been working fine. It’s the first breakdown ever of one of these socalled space station MDMs, or multiplexer-demultiplex-

ers, used to route computer commands for a wide variety of systems. Forty-five MDMs are scattered around the orbiting lab. The failed one is located outside and therefore will require spacewalking repairs. The Dragon capsule holds a gasket-like material for next week’s computer replacement. This new material was rushed to the launch site over the weekend and loaded into the Dragon. NASA said astronauts can make the repair without it if necessary. NASA astronauts Rick Mastracchio and Steven Swanson will perform the spacewalk next Tuesday – regardless of whether the Dragon flies by then. It will take several days to get the replacement computer ready, thus the one-week wait before the job, NASA’s Kenny Todd, a station operations manager, said Monday. SpaceX – Space Exploration Technologies Corp. of California – is one of two American companies hired by NASA to fill the cargo gap left when the space shuttles retired in 2011. Orbital Sciences Corp. of Virginia is the other. If the SpaceX Dragon isn’t flying by Friday, the company may have to get in line

Paternostro also discussed the relationship between teaching and learning styles in the

classroom. “You should not match your teaching style to what you think your students are,” he said. “You should find the best way to teach your material and teach it that way.” Avoiding pre-judgment is another important factor for the facilitator role. Paternostro said it can be difficult but is crucial. “We have these experiences all the time about judging our students,” he said. “You have to be open with your students. They tend to always kind of surprise you.” To learn more about seminars such as this visit http://tlcommons.wvu. edu. danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

Katy Perry regresses to former sound with latest single ‘Birthday’ JAKE JARVIS A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Katy Perry is set to release her latest single “Birthday” from her third studio album, “Prism,” and teased fans with a throwback to the “Teenage Dream” style with bright colors and a flirtatious play on words. The commercial success of Perry’s second major album, “Teenage Dream,” cannot be denied. Billboard reports Perry was the first woman to ever have five No. 1 singles from one album on the Hot 100 chart, matching Michael Jackson’s album “Bad.” Entertainment Weekly reported in 2010 that “Teenage Dream” sold only 192,000 copies in its first week. It may sound like a lot, but at the time Eminem had first-week sales of 741,000 with his album “Recovery.” Entertainment Weekly cites the public’s over-

exposure to Perry during this time as a reason for this disappointment. But in the end, “Teenage Dream” performed phenomenally. Perry has promoted “Prism” as something different than her previous albums. On Aug. 2, 2013, a promotional video for the single “Roar” was released. Perry flicks on a lighter and sets her beloved, iconic blue wig on fire. A few days later, she released a second video entitled “Roar: The Third Coming.” In this video, Perry appeared to be attending her own funeral. As fans around her cry, the singer lowers her glasses and gives an all-knowing look to the audience. These videos were exciting to fans, because it suggested Perry was entering a new stage in her artistic career. But has she really put down the Cool Whip bra for something darker? Or

is her cotton candy soul something she will never part with? The vividly colored video “Roar” was just a fun, colorful adventure in the jungle, which didn’t really deviate much from her previous recipe for pop success. But the next single, “Unconditionally” released on Oct. 16, 2013, was the first new step for Perry. The music video, which featured darker and more mature themes than previous videos, proved to not be a good business move. The song only peaked at No. 14 on the Hot 100 chart. “Dark Horse,” her latest single, was the perfect opportunity for Perry to really stick to the plan of leaving the blue-wig era behind her. After all, “Dark Horse” suggests something a little less cheerful. Instead, we got a nearly four-minute video set in “Memphis, Egypt,” and a comedic tale of Perry turning down a bunch of guys and casting some spells.

“Birthday” is set to impact the Top 40 and mainstream American radio on April 21. It is the perfect choice for a single complete with flirtatious lyrics, frothy beats and a sprinkle of sass. A lyric video has already been released, and if it’s any kind of a hint as to the content of the music video will be, we’re in for a delicious surprise. I predict this single will be Perry’s next No. 1 single, and it couldn’t come at a better time. The Hot 100 chart has been stagnant recently. Pharrell’s “Happy,” which listeners are growing increasingly tired of, still holds the No. 1 slot. The other competition just isn’t strong enough to keep Perry from the top. As exciting as it is to hope Perry branches out, she’s found a formula for success and is sticking to sexy lyrics, bright color and dance beats. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Amazon’s top five best-sellers provide enticing options for summer

Nicole Curtin A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Students are in a crunch these last few weeks of school with research papers, projects, presentations and exams. While summer is a lovely time to relax, it is also a good time to catch up on reading. These are the books, according to Amazon’s top five best-selling books of 2014, that should find a place on your nightstand this summer. 1. “The Fault in Our

Stars” by John Green This book, published in 2012, is hitting the big screen June 6. “The Fault in Our Stars” is about a girl, Hazel Lancaster, who is a cancer patient. She meets a boy, Augustus Waters, at a support group. While I don’t want to ruin the book or the movie for you, feelings develop and adventure ensues, creating a storyline audiences are sure to love. 2. “StrengthsFinder 2.0” by Tom Rath Published in 2007, this book follows the popular book “Now, Discover Your

Strengths,” which was written to help people figure out their strengths in life. “StrengthsFinder” is about maximizing your opportunities and getting to the root of your natural talents. This would be a good book for anyone in college, as people struggle with deciding what major they should declare and what they want to do after they graduate. Knowing your personal strengths can assist that process tremendously. 3. “Divergent” by Veronica Roth The movie for this novel

recently hit theaters and is raking in quite a bit at the box office. The book also has incredibly high ratings. “Divergent” takes place in post-apocalyptic Chicago and follows the story of a girl who is struggling with her identity. The society she lives in defines everyone by his or her status using five characteristics. This is the first in the trilogy, promising to provide readers more adventure to come. 4. “Frozen” by R.H. Disney The movie “Frozen” also has a book adaptation,

Donna Tartt wins Pulitzer Prize in fiction for ‘The Goldfinch’ NEW YORK (AP) — Donna Tartt’s “The Goldfinch,” already among the most popular and celebrated novels of the past year, has won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. One of the country’s top colonial historians, Alan Taylor, has won his second Pulitzer, for “The Internal Enemy: Slavery and War In Virginia.” Annie Baker’s “The Flick” won the Pulitzer for drama, a play set in a movie theater that was called a “thoughtful drama with well-crafted characters” which created “lives rarely seen on the stage.” The award Monday for general nonfiction went to Dan Fagin’s “Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation, “ a chronicle of industrial destruction in a small New Jersey community that was praised by The New York Times as a “classic of science reporting.” Megan Marshall’s “Margaret Fuller: A New American Life,” about the 19th century intellectual and transcendentalist, won for biography; and Vijay Seshadri’s witty and philosophical “3 Sections” received the poetry prize. The Pulitzer for music was given to John Luther Adams’ “Become Ocean,” which judges cited as “a haunting orchestral work that suggests a relentless tidal surge, evoking thoughts of melting polar ice and rising sea levels.”

Tartt’s novel, a sweeping, Dickensian tale about a young orphan set in modern Manhattan, was published last fall to high praise and quick commercial success that has not relented. “The Goldfinch” has been nominated for a National Book Critics Circle prize and an Andrew Carnegie Medal and on Monday was in the top 40 on Amazon.com’s best seller list even before the Pulitzer was announced. Fans of the 50-year-old Mississippi native, many of whom still had strong memories of her 1992 debut, “The Secret History,” had waited a decade for her to complete her third novel. “The Goldfinch” was published after the disappointing “The Little Friend.” The Pulitzer will likely ensure her place among the elite of contemporary fiction writers and make “The Goldfinch” a million seller. Meanwhile, the 59-yearold Taylor has reaffirmed his stature as a premier scholar of early American history. His “William Cooper’s Town: Power and Persuasion on the Frontier of the Early American Republic,” winner of the Pulitzer and Bancroft prizes, was published in 1996 and praised as an enlightening and rigorous study of the founding of Cooperstown, N.Y. “The Internal Enemy” has been cited as a worthy follow-up to Edmund Mor-

gan’s landmark “American Slavery, American Freedom,” a story of the conflicting passions among white Virginians who both eloquently defended their own freedoms and suspiciously presided over the slaves who made their livelihoods possible. The Columbia University’s prize board honored Baker, who is in her early 30s, for her play about friendship, morality and loyalty. “The Flick” played offBroadway at Playwrights Horizons last year becoming divisive among critics. Many admired its attempt to capture real life but others found it tediously long. In “The Flick,” three relatively youthful, low-paid employees work together in a rundown movie theater in Massachusetts that

which many fans are unaware of. A Disney flick is always good stress reliever, and if you love the film, you will more than likely love the book, as well. 5. “The Book Thief ” by Markus Zusak “The Book Thief ” was published in 2005, has won several awards and has been on the New York Times Best Sellers List for more than four years. It takes place in Nazi Germany and tells the story of a girl living with her foster parents who illegally harbor a Jewish boy in their home. The movie for this novel

came out in 2014 with strong ratings at the box office. History may not be your favorite subject in school, but “The Book Thief” is an accurate, yet interesting depiction of that time period. Add some entertainment to your lazy summer days by the pool by picking up a few of these books. You can always reread a couple classics if you don’t want to spend the money, but Amazon’s best-sellers of 2014 are sure to provide the perfect read for the most relaxing time of the year. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Summer in Morgantown: Endless opportunities for education, fun, excitement HANNAH CHENOWeTH COLUMNIST

As the spring semester rapidly comes to a close, thoughts of sweet summer are on everyone’s mind. Even professors seem ready for this record-breaking, horrible winter to be put in the past. Do you find yourself ready for a hiatus from school, but dreading the thought of being stuck in your hometown for threeand-a-half months? Are you going back to your boring old high school job this summer simply because it’s easy and convenient? If so, you should highly consider the possibility of staying in Morgantown for the summer. Let’s face it, Morgantown is a giant playground, and there’s no other place like it. You don’t need the excuse of summer classes to stay. In fact, something about school in the summer just rubs me the wrong way. There are plenty of other reasons to stick around. Fall and spring semesters fly by in a haze of exams and nights out, and kicking back without the stress of school is an amazing opportunity to really get to know Morgantown in a completely different way. There are plenty of job opportunities for college students, no matter what you’re looking for. From food service, to childcare, retail positions, bartending and more, the Office of Student Employment is constantly sending out job alerts through email. A great way to become more immersed in WVU is to take a job with the University, whether it’s as a tour guide or an orientation leader. If you put yourself out there, you can easily find summer employment in the area. If you’re an outdoor person, you will have a ridiculous amount of outdoor

activities available to you within a 20-mile radius. You can rock climb at Cooper’s Rock or simply enjoy the 1,200-foot scenic overlook, a famous sight that you can’t live in Morgantown without seeing. There’s an abundance of places to camp and fish, and there’s even the West Virginia Bass Tournament that takes place in July. There’s plenty of crappie, bass, walleye and catfish to be caught at Cheat Lake. Little Sandy is a lesserknown fishing spot where you’re likely to make a catch. Chestnut Ridge Park has not only a lake to fish in, but you can also go paddle boating. If you’re feeling extra daring, Cheat River contains over 30 rapids Class III or better to go white water rafting. The Cheat River Watershed is actually the largest free-flowing watershed in the Eastern United States. We’re so lucky to have this kind of natural beauty practically in our backyards, and we should take full advantage. The Outdoor Education Center, with its Challenge Course and Canopy Tour, offers an awesome way to spend your day: zip-lining through the forest and mastering the ropes course. If you’re looking to embrace nature within walking distance, there’s always the option of fishing in the Monongahela River or simply bike riding or taking a nice walk on the Rail Trail. You can rent bikes from Pathfinder, Wesley’s Bicycle Rental or the Rec. There are loads of outdoor activities to do in the summer around town, but what if you aren’t the biggest fan of Mother Nature? I’m sure you’re a fan of wine and good music. Indulge yourself in a day at the Heston Farm Winery, where you can sample every wine with unlimited whiskey and moonshine for an astoundingly small total of $8. At Heston, they treat you like family, and the beauti-

Dorsey’s Knob, pictured above, offers a breathtaking view from West Virginia’s highest point. ful farm filled with animals has a timeless feel to it. Now for another essential element of a perfect summer: festivals. In June, the Arts on the River Festival and Big Bear Lake Mountainfest take place. July is the Alpine Lake Bluegrass Festival, and August hosts the Mon County Fair and Chicken Wing Cook-off. When you spend the summer here, you develop a completely different appreciation for all that Morgantown has to offer. It’s easy for people to say that all that there is to do in Morgantown is drink, because that’s all they look for. If they really looked into all there is to

do, they probably wouldn’t have time to get to it all. You meet all sorts of people you wouldn’t know otherwise during the year, when you are constantly surrounded by your usual crew.

SGA, Honors College partner for Tutor Takeover to help students prepare for finals Yes, it’s almost that time of year again. Final exams are less than two weeks away. For most West Virginia University students, this time of year is marked by marathon study sessions, frantic emails to professors and sleep deprivation. This year there is a new alternative to help students prepare for endof-semester academic success. The WVU Student Government Association and the Honors College have teamed up for Tutor Takeover, a three-day, lastminute finals preparation program. The program, which be-

gins April 23 and will run through April 25, will meet each day from 6-9 p.m. in the Shenandoah Room of the Mountainlair. Each day of the program will be dedicated to a specific subject concentration. Wednesday will be geared toward the STEM fields (math, science and engineering); Thursday will be the social sciences and humanities; and Friday will feature the world languages. “Last semester, this event, known as the Final Countdown, was held over the course of one day” said Stephen Scott, SGA vice chair, in an email about the event. “However,

with the expansion of the event, there will be multiple days for students to receive the assistance that they need.” During all the three days, tutors will be available to assist with editing and proofreading and to provide study tips. Drinks and refreshments will be provided to attendees. For more information, contact Stephen Scott at stephen.scott@mail.wvu. edu or Marie LeichliterKrause, Honors College director of programming at marie.leichliter@mail. wvu.edu. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

HOROSCOPE BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you often get into situations where you encounter a conflict of ideas and actions. You will learn how to handle this type of collision, and you’ll come up with compromises as a result. You often wonder which voice to listen to. Whether your impulsiveness or your logic dominates will be your call. If you are single, you could meet someone of interest after June. Do not rush out to meet someone; rather, be yourself and trust that the right person will come along. If you are attached, the two of you seem to get each other fired up. You also act as if you were newlyweds. ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH The Full Moon triggers

some high drama. Normally, you would choose not to get involved, but right now you might feel cornered. A friend will come to the rescue. Let this person know how much you appreciate him or her. Tonight: Enjoy dinner together. TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HH Focus on getting the job done and accomplishing whatever you want. Pressure could come from a touchy situation that is not being resolved easily. You would be wise to go with the flow and not get caught up in someone else’s issue. Tonight: Join a friend for dinner. GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Your playful personality draws in many different results. You might want to manipulate a situation involving a financial matter. You could have difficulty coming to an agree-

ment with others, as they seem to think they have a better route. Tonight: Relax all you want. CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHH You could be in for quite a surprise. Where you might have anticipated a level-headed interaction with a boss or supervisor, you could run into a last-minute problem. Your imagination will help you find the right path through this present maze. Tonight: Add in some naughtiness. LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH You are full of energy and ready to meet a challenge head on; however, someone else likely won’t be willing to do the same. Be careful, as words could be exchanged and a full-blown argument might ensue. Tonight: Do not allow a rift to continue.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH You suddenly might be more willing to take a risk. You could feel pressured to go one way or the other with a financial situation.

when your imagination and creativity merge. Listen to feedback. Tonight: Add more romance to your life. SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH A meeting in the morning will provide you with more than one great idea to get you to a specific end.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Others naturally gravitate toward you. You might be in a situation where you will want to assume a bigger role. Evaluate the time and cost of taking on another commitment. Clearly, you know what you want. Tonight: Hang out with your friends.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HH Make a point to take the high road. Misunderstandings seem to be happening out of the blue. You might be facing some extreme feelings when trying to decide which way to go. Excitement seems to arrive in the most unexpected manner. Tonight: Could be a late one. PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH You have a unique ability to work through any problem. A discussion needs to happen on a one-on-one level. Try to make time in the morning, when you tend to be more relaxed. By late afternoon, detach and take an overview of recent events. Tonight: Use your imagination.

A&E Students to perform ‘Henry IV’ 6

Tuesday April 15, 2014

BY MITCHELL GLAZIER A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University School of Theatre & Dance will present “Henry IV” at the Gladys G. Davis Theatre in the Creative Arts Center Wednesday and Thursday and April 22-27. The Shakespearean work was reimagined by Sarah Neville, an assistant professor of English at WVU, into a two-act play to better suit

production constraints. As the last production for the 2013-14 school year, it is expected to draw large audiences from the area. “Whenever we put on a Shakespeare production, we expect huge crowds,” said Leslie Henderson, a box office clerk at the Creative Arts Center. “It will be a great way to cap off a year of incredible productions.” The play chronicles the tumultuous reign of Henry IV after winning the crown

from his cousin, Richard II. The ruler is also at odds with the Percy family, who aided in his rise to power. There has been a recent rebellion on the Welsh and Scottish borders near the kingdom, further adding to a challenging ascent to power. Henry’s only son and heir, Prince Hal, is more interested in drinking and dabbling in relationships at a local tavern than preparing for future kinghood.

On the brink of a tremendous war, the play follows the coming-of-age of the young prince and his journey to – or rejection of – the throne. Following the production of “Henry IV,” Neville, who adapted both parts of the acclaimed Shakespearean work, will provide a public lecture discussing her journey with the adaptation process, titled “Break[ing] into this Woman’s mood: The Lab Space

of Shakespeare’s ‘Henry IV.’” The lecture will be held in the Robinson Reading Room of the Downtown Campus Library April 23 at 2:30 p.m. The 20-member cast of “Henry IV,” hopes to make a powerful impact on audience members for the final term student performance. Costumes for the production were designed by Mary McClung, who serves as director of the Costume Shop and associate profes-

sor of costume design in the School of Theatre & Dance. Tickets for the production of “Henry IV” are $20 for adults and $15 for senior citizens and will be available at all WVU Box Office locations and via telephone at 304-293-SHOW.

2014 MTV Movie Awards provide laughs, celebrity cameos BY CARLY SMITH A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The 2014 MTV Movie Awards premiered Sunday night with Conan O’Brien as the host. The set was an eerie, post-apocalyptic atmosphere that included a large, silver popcorn trophy that O’Brien and others entered the stage through. The crowd included stars as well as fans who stood in front of the stage for performances. The MTV Movie Awards never fail to create memorable moments that are talked about for some time, and this year’s show proved to be no different. 1. Conan O’Brien’s hysterical live opening O’Brien’s opening for the awards definitely ranked in the top moments of the show. As the openings for the awards are generally prerecorded, O’Brien’s live opening was one of the funniest moments of the show. As Grumpy Cat, the meme the cat Tardar Sauce was based on, was sitting in the front row, O’Brien noted how odd it was that he was performing for a sleeping animal, not to mention that the cat was wearing a Pharrell hat and was wrapped in a blanket in his seat. O’Brien also sang a song about how he wasn’t like other hosts and therefore wasn’t going to sing a song. A guitar descended from the ceiling, and “Pitch Perfect” and “Workaholics” star Adam DeVine joined him in song. The star also tried to break the record for the

most celebrity cameos in an opening with 50. Stars included Seth Rogen, Andy Samberg, Rosario Dawson, Taylor Swift and himself. 2. Zac Efron’s planned wardrobe malfunction while receiving “Best Shirtless Performance” Efron arrived at the MTV Movie Awards looking his best, donning a buttondown denim shirt. Efron has received a lot of compliments on his fit body, and it was no surprise that he walked away with “Best Shirtless Performance”for his scene in “That Awkward Moment.” He originally mentioned he would receive the award shirtless; however, when he failed to live up to this promise, singer and presenter Rita Ora had no problem walking up behind him and ripping off his shirt. Efron stopped his speech and flexed for the crowd, and teenage girls everywhere swooned. 3. Mila Kunis’ baby bump and winning “Best Villain” Kunis was the only female nominated in the “Best Villain” category for her part in “Oz the Great and Powerful,” and she was surprised to receive the award at the show. Newly engaged to Ashton Kutcher, many news outlets have reported that she is pregnant with the couple’s first child. Kunis wore a loose, black dress that seemed to show her baby bump, although the actress hasn’t confirmed it. 4. Jordana Brewster and Vin Diesel’s tribute to Paul Walker “Fast and Furious” star Jordana Brewster introduced a heartfelt trib-

As Brewster spoke, clips from Walker’s movies played in the background, and Vin Diesel appeared in a clip and said, “I’m always going to be here for you even when you tell me to go. That’s who Paul Walker was.” This tear-jerking tribute was a great way to honor Walker and the impact he made on the industry. 5.

humbled to receive this award. Jonah Hill, his friend and co-star in “21 Jump Street,” was chosen to present the award to him, and provided friendly banter onstage. Tatum kissed his wife before accepting the award, and he was very grateful, making him all the more likeable. With moments such as those mentioned above, the 2014 MTV Movie Awards were a show not to miss. If you didn’t catch it when it aired Sunday night, MTV will show re-runs of the award show throughout the next few weeks. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Judge says Michael Jackson’s mother should pay costs LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Jackson’s mother should pay more than $800,000 in trial costs to a concert promoter that she targeted in a failed negligent hiring lawsuit involving the death of her son, a judge said Monday. Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos issued the tentative ruling calling on the Jackson family matriarch to pay AEG Live LLC after it won the case. The five-month trial ended in October with a jury determining that AEG Live did not negligently hire the doctor convicted of causing Michael Jackson’s death in 2009 as he prepared for a comeback tour. The ruling is expected to be finalized after AEG Live submits an amended list of its costs for items such as court filing fees, court reporters and travel. Attorneys for the company and Katherine Jackson agreed not to argue Palazuelos’ tentative ruling, but it might be appealed. Katherine Jackson’s attorney Kevin Boyle said a decision on appealing the order would be made after

newsone.com

reviewing its final language. The verdict and rulings in the case are currently being appealed. AEG Live initially sought more than $1.2 million to cover its costs. Katherine Jackson’s lawyers claimed only about a quarter of that amount was justified. AEG Live attorney Marvin Putnam said the court did the right thing “by ordering Katherine Jackson to pay nearly $1 million spent in having to defend a matter that she should have never brought in the first place.” A motion filed by her lawyers last week stated that the costs would be

borne by her and the singer’s three children, all of whom are supported by his estate. The estate has earned hundreds of millions of dollars since the singer’s death and paid off his debts. It also covers schooling, housing and other costs for his children and mother. Jackson died in June 2009 after receiving an overdose of the anesthetic propofol, which former cardiologist Conrad Murray was giving the superstar as a sleep aid during preparations for his planned “This Is It” shows. Murray was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

West Virginia looks to end seven-game losing skid, takes on Ohio State at home by connor murray associate sports editor @connorkmurray

A little more than two weeks ago, the West Virginia University baseball team was riding high. The Mountaineers won four-straight games and pushed their overall record to 16-8 after completing a season sweep of Pittsburgh April 1. A lot can change in two weeks. After being swept at home in their first Big 12 series at Hawley Field by No. 18 Oklahoma State, the Mountaineers have lost seven games in a row and have seen their conference record drop to 2-6. Every team in college baseball goes through its

share of peaks and valleys throughout the season; however, West Virginia can’t afford to stay down much longer. The Mountaineers will get their first chance to bounce back from being swept when they take on the Ohio State Buckeyes at Hawley Field tonight. During their sevengame losing streak, the Mountaineers have yet to score more than four runs in a game and have been shut out twice. The team has had to deal with some of the best pitching the Big 12 has to offer early in the conference season. TCU and Oklahoma State rank No. 2 and No. 3 respectively in the Big 12 in team

pitching. “I’ve been excited for (the team) to see Big 12 baseball,” said WVU head coach Randy Mazey. “That’s what they saw. All of the guys (on Oklahoma State’s team) who ran out there were really, really good pitchers. They made the most of their opportunities.” Coming into the 2014 season, pitching was thought to be one of West Virginia’s biggest strengths. While the top three starters, Harrison Musgrave, Sean Carley and John Means, have held their own, the Mountaineers have not been able to find consistency outside of their weekend ro-

tation yet. Despite West Virginia’s recent struggles, Mazey said he doesn’t expect his players will get down on themselves. “Our guys are pretty resilient,” Mazey said. “They’ve made it through a lot. They aren’t going to lack any confidence. “Over the course of a long season, you get little streaks like this, and it’ll turn for us at any time.” With the way the rest of the teams in the Big 12 are playing, that turnaround will have to come sooner rather than later if West Virginia wants to have any hope of qualifying for postseason play. The Mountaineers are just barely outside of dead

last in the conference standings and have some serious work to do in the second half of the season. Keeping the losing streak from reaching eight games won’t be an easy task. The Buckeyes won two of three games against Penn State this weekend and have been making opponents pay with their offense. Ohio State is averaging scoring six runs per game in its last 10 contests. West Virginia will return to conference play after facing the Buckeyes. The Mountaineers travel to play Oklahoma Thursday through Sunday in Norman. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

WVU offense shows some improvement by amit batra sports editor @batra01

In the annual Gold-Blue Spring Game, the West Virginia football team displayed a high level of defense. It was the offense, however, that improved with each quarter. The offense, while struggling a bit in the first quarter, showed strides, especially at the quarterback position. Senior Paul Millard completed 14 of 19 passes for 129 yards and two touchdowns, while Logan Moore went 10-21 for 109 yards and junior college transfer Skyler Howard was 9 of 13 for 70 yards and a touchdown. While head coach Dana Holgorsen still has a long way to go in determining a starter for the Mountaineers’ opener against Alabama, he said the game ultimately served its purpose. “We got what we needed to get done today,” he said. “I thought the tempo was good. The first defense I think played excellent, and then we started to take a lot of those guys out, and once we started taking those guys out, we moved the ball, offensively, we moved the ball a little bit, which as a head coach is what you want to see.” On the day, the three potential WVU quarterbacks

combined to complete 33 of 53 passes for 308 yards and three touchdowns. Senior wide receiver Kevin White led the receivers with five receptions for 42 yards, while junior Jordan Thompson had four catches for 57 yards. He had the longest offensive play of the afternoon on a 42-yard screen pass from Millard. West Virginia also did well on the ground. Redshirt junior Dustin Garrison led all r unning backs w ith 47 yards on 10 carries, while sophomore We n dell Smallwood added 45 yards and Pitt transfer Rushel Shell contributed 37 yards on eight attempts. Overall, Holgorsen said the spring game was a success, and the quarterback play in particular could be improved after all the repetition, which could be a deciding factor in choosing the starting quarterback. “I thought the guys played hard, and it was a successful spring,” Holgorsen said. “I think w e g o t s o m e w h e re around 850 snaps that we filmed and will make all of the cutups, and (we) will be able to look through those things all summer.” Holgorsen said as a whole, the production of the offense is what he wants to see. According to Hol-

JON FEHRENS SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Job security running low for WVU coaches It is pretty easy to see that WVU Athletic Director Oliver Luck is more interested in results than making friends. Luck has proven the past several years through various layoffs that tradition does not mean a whole lot to him. Most recently, Luck let former West Virginia wrestling head coach Craig Turnbull go after 36 years of service. Not only did he let him go, but if Turnbull’s accusations against Luck are true, he humiliated him on his way out. Turnbull is the fifth head coach who has been fired in the Luck era and the sixth long-time veteran. With that in mind, I have to ask, who is next? Luck was eager to bring in head football coach Dana Holgorsen while the late Bill Stewart still had the job. Luck even pegged Holgorsen as the head-coach-in-waiting before the 2011 season. But since starting 5-0 and earning the No. 5 ranking in the country in the 2012 season, his team fell flat on its face and stumbled to a 7-6 finish. The following season was even worse for Holgorsen. In their last 20 games, the Mountaineers are 6-14. When will enough be enough for the pink slip happy Luck? Now, I don’t think Holgorsen will lose his job if the Mountaineers fail to reach a bowl game in consecutive seasons, but you better believe that his seat will be one of the hottest in the country. But if Luck continues to let football flop, what kind of message is he sending to the rest of the programs at West Virginia? Luck puts a lot of pressure on the coaches and their staff, which is not necessarily a bad thing. What I do disagree with is how he carries himself at times. Luck earns over $700,000 annually and was willing to drop his alma mater as soon as University of Texas expressed interest in him. I also cannot agree with how Luck handled the firing of Turnbull. If it is true that Luck questioned his age and inquired to other coaches around the country while Turnbull was unaware, that may be an eyeopener for Mountaineer fans everywhere. Luck brought the Mountaineers to new heights in his short stint here, but it has come at a price. Coaches who are etched in WVU lore are now without jobs. As long as Luck is at the helm of West Virginia athletics, no one is safe. Is that a good thing? Well, it depends on who you ask. The verdict is still out for me, but the way he handles the 2014 season could define Luck. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Find us on Quarterback Skyler Howard drops back to pass Saturday. gorsen, the rhythm will come back in the summer once a quarterback has been chosen. “ I’ve b e en happy with the backs and tight ends. It’s not necessarily the stats that make a difference with them, but those guys are tough and playing hard, and we’re able to do a lot of things with them,” Holgorsen said. Garrison said the goals for the game were an overall success. “Today was a success,” he said. “The offense made a lot of plays. We’ve got a lot to work on, but overall I think everybody did a pretty good job. The quarterbacks competed like always, and I think the

running backs also did a good job of competing.” Alford said Howard, while still learning the system, said his playmaking abili t y a n d ab i l i t y t o keep alive will be a positive for West Virginia. “He’s still learning the offense, but he’s going to be pretty good,” Alford said. “He makes plays and keeps them alive. He just has to get more into the playbook. His communication is a little staggered. Being a quarterback is a hard position on the field, because you have to know what everyone is doing. He’s going to be pretty good.” amit.batra@mail.wvu.edu

Bullpen struggles continue to hurt WVU by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The bullpen blues continued last weekend for the West Virginia baseball team. Mountaineer relief pitchers found just about every way to get into trouble on the mound while being swept in a threegame series against No. 18 Oklahoma State. The Mountaineers, losers of seven straight, are currently just one game above .500 on the season as they sit at 16-15 and a lowly 2-6 inside Big 12 Conference play. The bullpen has been a topic for discussion since the season first began. WVU blew a lead in the team’s first game against Louisville back in February that cost them a ballgame. It’s been an up and down ride since then. WVU has run off its terrific starting rotation of

Harrison Musgrave, Sean Carley and John Means all season long. The Mountaineers’ phenomenal efforts, plus some good hitting at the top of the lineup, had the Mountaineers soaring into April. Since then, however, it has been a struggle for West Virginia. More and more pressure has been put on the starting pitchers in result of the shaky efforts of the back end. “We refuse to abuse those starting pitchers because they are so good and so valuable,” said WVU head coach Randy Mazey. “We’re not going to run them into 150 pitches, so if the other team goes into it as getting their pitch count up, that’s probably the best way to play the Mountaineers right now.” After surrendering a five-run ninth inning in an extra innings win over Baylor and letting a threerun lead slide in a loss at

TCU, things didn’t get much better for the Mountaineer bullpen in Hawley Field’s inaugural Big 12 series last weekend. Mountaineer relievers allowed eight runs in a 9-2 loss to Oklahoma State Saturday afternoon after failing to help out Friday’s starter Harrison Musgrave the night before. Sunday’s final game of the series was a complete mess as West Virginia starter Michael Bennett lasted just 11 pitches and four hitters, recording just one out. WVU’s Zach Bargeron got out of the first inning, but only after four runs crossed the plate for the Cowboys as he served up three hits and a walk. There was a bright spot Sunday, however, as Ryan Tezak regained his control of previous seasons to log six innings in relief in a Mountaineer 7-4 defeat. “We’ve got a good staff.

We’re a good team,” Carley said. “We just have to get out of this groove and come back and get it. We’re confident with where we are at, and I’m still confident with the guys that they’ve got. We’re going to be (fine).” Overall, Musgrave, Carley and Means have allowed 48 runs (37 earned) in 135 innings this season for West Virginia. The bullpen has pitched 118 innings and has given up 87 runs. A concerned Mazey offered a little bit of a silver lining. “The good news is we threw strikes out of the bullpen,” he said. “That’s what we’ve been waiting to do.” WVU looks to break out of its seven-game losing streak Tuesday night when the Mountaineers host Ohio State at 6 p.m.

Junior Ikttesh Chahal and sophomore Hailey Barrett get ready for a point in a home match against Texas Tech earlier this season.

by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University tennis team fell to Iowa State, 5-2, Sunday at the Ridgeview Racquet Club in Morgantown. Mou nt a i n e e r h e a d coach Miha Lisac said he was confident heading into the final regular season match for West Virginia, hoping for the team’s first-ever Big 12 Conference win. “It is time for us to have everything come together that we have learned throughout the spring semester, and (we) are looking to put some of our lessons into play for our first Big 12 win,” Lisac said.

However, Lisac’s game plan did not go as anticipated. West Virginia (317, 0-9 Big 12) finished its second spring season in the Big 12 a combined 0-18 in conference play. The Cyclones (9-13, 1-8 Big 12) ended their ninematch losing streak Sunday, earning their first Big 12 win since the last time they faced the Mountaineers back in April 2013. Doubles play began well for the Mountaineers as sophomore Hailey Barrett and junior Ikttesh Chahal, at No. 1 doubles, won their second consecutive match, defeating Sami Budai and Ksenia Pronina, 8-4. However, with only two doubles teams competing for WVU, the Cyclones’

Lydia Green and Caroline Andersen won by default with nobody representing West Virginia. Meghan Cassens and Ana Gasparovic sealed the doubles point after beating the Mountaineers pair of sophomores Irinka Toidze and Vivian Tsui, 8-5. Singles began with a victory for WVU at the No. 1 position as Barrett defeated Pronina, 6-4, 6-4. This was Barrett’s first singles win since Feb. 7, when she defeated Cal U’s Lucie Sipkova. ISU started to extend its lead with victories coming at No. 2 and No. 3 singles. Freshman Kaja Mrgole lost to Budai in straight sets, 6-4, 6-2. Chahal could not come

away with a victory as she fell to Cassens, 6-2, 6-2. At the No. 4 position, Toidze forced a tiebreaker, but could not get the win against Ana Gasparovic, 6-4, 4-6, 12-10. Tsui was able to shine some light on the Mountaineers as she recorded her sixth singles victory of the season, beating Emma Waites in straight sets, 6-1, 6-1. At the No. 6 position, the Cyclones’ Talisa Merchiers won by default to seal the victory for Iowa State, since no Mountaineer competed against her. West Virginia will complete its season at the Big 12 championships in Fort Worth, Texas, April 24-27. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

FOOTBALL

Charles Sims leaves impression on WVU running backs by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia football is back. Saturday was the annual Gold-Blue Spring Game, which gave a short insight into what the team may look like once late August comes around. After a star-studded season out of the Houston senior transfer running back Charles Sims in the 2013 season, head coach Dana Holgorsen said in his postgame comments from the Spring Game he thought the versatility Sims brought to this squad last year has not been forgotten and has helped WVU grow in the offseason in a multitude of ways. “The best thing that Charles Sims ever did by coming here is to teach those guys how to be versatile,” Holgorsen said. “(He taught them) how to practice hard, be unselfish and, all those guys, it doesn’t matter what position they are playing, they all want the ball, and they all want to be a featured running back,

but they don’t mind getting in as receivers and catching passes down field.” Sims ran for 11 touchdowns on 208 attempts last fall, totaling 1,095 yards. The likely NFL-bound Sims also caught 45 receptions for 401 yards and three receiving touchdowns in his lone season as a Mountaineer. All of these accolades for Sims came after he earned his undergraduate degree in May 2013 and wanted one last year to show what he has made of before pursuing an NFL career, something Sims did not let go to waste. Holgorsen praised Sims following his final game as a Mountaineer in late November as he said Sims will not be leaving the game of football anytime soon, and his talents will lead him places. “He’s a tremendous football player that’s going to be playing for a while. (I’m) glad we had him for a year,” Holgorsen said after the Iowa State game. With the starting running back position still up for grabs heading into next fall, senior running back Drea-

mius Smith, sophomore Pitt transfer Rushel Shell and redshirt junior Andrew Buie will all be competing to fill the larger-than-expected shoes of Sims. On top of these three well-deserved candidates for the job, there is one more West Virginia player who Holgorsen believes can make a big impact in the running game next season: true sophomore Wendell Smallwood. “I told you Wendell (Smallwood) is probably our second best inside receiver or maybe even the best inside receiver right now,” Holgorsen said. “Obviously we’ll put him in the backfield and get him the ball a bunch. (He’s) very versatile and very productive.” Although Sims exceeded many expectations he had heading into last fall, Holgorsen understands Sims is no longer a Mountaineer and knows the coaching staff needs to find a new star from the range of options they have for the season opener against Alabama. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Bubba Watson scooped up his son, hugged his wife and took off down the ropes along the 18th green, high-fiving the patrons at Augusta National. This was the kind of Bubbalike celebration he would’ve relished two years ago, but it wasn’t possible that Sunday. Watson and his wife had just adopted their little boy, so the rest of the family stayed at home. The Masters was decided not in front of the clubhouse, but down in the hollow at No. 10, where Watson won a nerve-wracking playoff by whacking a trick shot off the pine straw and around a tree. It ended suddenly, dramatically, without the proper time to commemorate the occasion. Not a problem this time. Watson seized the lead from Jordan Spieth with a dramatic two-hole swing before the turn. The last real uneasy moment came at the 13th, where the left-hander launched a slicing tee shot around the trees – nicking a limb or two along the way – to set up an easy two-putt birdie that essentially clinched his victory. By the time Watson walked up 18, he could relish the cheers, really relish them, and know that a second green jacket was waiting for him at the top of the hill, along with his wife and son. “This one is a lot different,” Watson said. “The first one for me, it’s almost like I lucked into it. This one was a lot of hard work, dedication, and I got back here. After giving away that jacket last year, I kind of wanted it back.” Make room in the closet. Bubba’s going green for a second time. “It’s overwhelming to win twice,” Watson said. “A smalltown guy named Bubba now has two green jackets, it’s pretty wild.”

Maybe so, but this wasn’t the guy who coined the term “Bubba golf” to describe the daring way he played for his first Masters victory in 2012. While the 13th was harrowing, and a shot through the trees on the 15th was a gutsy move, Watson won this major title largely with a booming drives, accurate irons and a steady putter. He simply overpowered the course and the rest of the field on the way to a three-shot victory over Spieth, the 20-yearold Texan, and Sweden’s Jonas Blixt. “I was very comfortable,” Watson said. “Playing this way was a lot better ... a lot easier coming down the last few holes, especially the last hole, knowing that I had a couple shots to play with.” Watson’s career slipped into neutral after his 2012 Masters victory. He was busy with his new child, so that took away from his time on the course. He went almost two years without a victory, wasn’t even in the conversation for the 2013 Presidents Cup, and slipped to 44th on the money list last season. Now, he’s back on track. “Learning to be a dad and then learning to have a green jacket is two big things to adjust to,” Watson said. “Finally I got adjusted to it, and here we are with another green jacket.” Spieth was tied with Watson going to the final round and trying to become the youngest major champion since the Depression. He was definitely thinking green, too, when he played the first seven holes at 3 under, holing out from a bunker for one birdie, rolling in a testy downhill putt for another. “If you had told me that when I woke up this morning,” Spieth said, “I would have thought it would be difficult for me not to win this golf tournament.”

Everything changed at the last two holes before the turn. His inexperience showing, Spieth hit a tepid chip at the eighth and wound up with a three-putt bogey on one of easiest holes on the course. Watson made birdie. All tied. At No. 9, Spieth watched his approach roll off the front of the green, then missed another short putt for his second straight bogey. Watson, meanwhile, curled in a 10-footer for his second straight birdie. Just like that, Watson’s twoshot deficit was a two-shot lead. No one was going to catch him. “He played incredible golf,” Spieth said. “That drive at 13 was incredible. I will never forget it. I thought it was 70 yards left and out of bounds. It was perfect. I’m sure he knew that when he hit it, too.” Not exactly. “I’m not very smart, but I can tell it hit some trees, because I mean, that’s not the line I really wanted to go on.” Watson said. “I knew it, when it took off, it was cutting a little too much. I knew I hit it really hard. Obviously, when you get a roar on your tee shot, you know it’s pretty good. I could start breathing again once I heard them clapping and roaring.” They were roaring again when Watson walked up to the 18th green, safely on in two. Two putts later, the celebration could start for real. A celebration that was two years in the making. “I’m not trying to play golf for everybody to tell me how great I am or tell me I’m one of the greats of the game,” Watson insisted. “I play golf because I love it. I love the game. I want to grow the game. The game has brought me everything that I’ve ever owned in my life.” And now, it’s brought him another green jacket.

Nathan Adrian charged with DUI under 21 Freshman forward Nathan Adrian was arrested and charged with Driving Under the Influence under age 21, the Dominion Post reported Monday afternoon. According to the criminal report, WVU police officer Haley Hursey saw a white GMC vehicle traveling on North High Street with an expired registration sticker early Sunday morning. Hursey stopped the vehicle in the parking lot of Panera Bread, later identifying the driver as

19-year-old Adrian. According to Hursey, the smell of alcohol came from the car, and Adrian had red, glassy eyes. Adrian told Hursey he had consumed alcoholic beverages earlier that night, according to the criminal report. Prior to his arrest, Adrian failed a preliminary breath test and was unable to show stability in his sobriety tests, according to the Dominion Post article. The complaint states Adrian’s BAC was .085 at the time

of the arrest.
