Black Bear to reimburse employees

BY SUMMER RATCLIFF CITY EDITOR @DAILYATHENAEUM

A United States Department of Labor investigation into Black Bear Burritos LLC has revealed minimum wage and overtime violations that will result in 105 workers receiving $232,295 in back wages from the restaurant.

The U.S. Department of Labor Wage and Hour Di-

vision’s investigation disclosed Black Bear had previously required servers to participate in an illegal tip sharing arrangement. This arrangement split tips between all servers, kitchen staff and management.

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, tips are property of any employee who receives them, although restaurant operators can benefit by claiming a credit based on the tips to-

ward their obligation to pay employees minimum wage.

According to the Department of Labor, an employer may not take an employee’s tips for an invalid tip pool, and if an employee’s tips combined with the employer’s direct wages do not equal minimum wage, the employer must make up the difference during the pay period.

The investigation also revealed that salaried man-

agers were unlawfully paid using money from the tip pool. Additionally, Black Bear based overtime premium pay on employees’ cash wages instead of the regular rate, $7.25 an hour, minus the tip credit, plus the cash wage.

According to the Department of Labor, when notified of the violations, Black Bear immediately agreed to pay all back wages and to be compliant going forward.

Textbooks to tassels

A statement released by Black Bear Burritos said the company had learned a “very expensive lesson” and wanted to ensure the public knew they had made “necessary changes to (their) policies and followed all instructions provided (to them) by the Department of Labor regarding back pay and the necessary steps to correct the mistakes made.”

Black Bear’s statement also made mention that

4300 graduates added to University alumni

BY SUMMER RATCLIFF CITY EDITOR @dailyathenaeum

Commencement 2014 weekend has come and gone.

It featured the typical pomp and circumstance, the smiles, the handshakes, the hug and the tears.

New graduates and their loved ones flocked to iconic settings on campus – Woodburn Circle and the Mountaineer statue – for final snapshots of their “home among the hills.”

But, this year the weekend also featured bowties and selfies galore, as many students mimicked the nowfamous, President Gee-inspired look and stopped on stage to take selfies with him as well.

Additionally, all ceremonies ended with graduates and families swaying and singing WVU’s most beloved anthem, “Country Roads.”

It was all part of a magical weekend for 4,300 students who officially conquered college life and earned their degrees from West Virginia University.

Now, the dust has settled, and the graduates have gone their separate ways to conquer “the real world.”

While some students have already obtained jobs in their career field of choice in cities across the country, others plan to take time off to explore the world.

Taylor Devine, who received her Bachelors of Arts degree in psychology with a business administration minor, said completing a

degree in four years at the “number one party school” taught her that she can balance anything in life.

“After only a week away from Morgantown, I already miss living amongst 29,000 of my closest friends,” she said.

“Over the past four years, I shared countless memories with these people, and I will hold close the experiences and lessons they have taught me.”

Devine said she will being taking a sabbatical of sorts before eventually heading back to school to obtain a graduate degree.

“During my time off, I plan on traveling to South America and exploring places in the United States that I have yet to see,” she said. “I am ready to conquer the next milestone that’s waiting in store for me.”

Brad Shambaugh, who received a Bachelor of Arts in political science with a history minor, said reaching this milestone is the most rewarding feeling he has ever experienced.

“The all-nighters, cramming and endless papers all seem worth it now,” Shambaugh said. “WVU has shown me that hard work does eventually pay off and that no matter where I go, the Mountaineer family will always be with me.”

Now that he has completed his undergraduate career, Shambaugh has moved to Washington DC to start work, with the hopes of finding a job more germane to his degree.

Shambaugh said he will miss getting up early on Sat-

During his last fall semester at West Virginia University, John Williams has a very different set of goals compared to most seniors.

Williams, a senior political science student, has just made it through the West Virginia primary elections and will now move on to the general election in November. If elected, Williams will represent the Democratic Party in the West Virginia House of Delegates.

Williams said he was extremely excited about winning the primary election on May 13.

“I think I celebrated for about ten minutes and then I immediately started thinking about November,” he said. “I had said I was going to take a week off and not do much campaign related, but I wasn’t able to do that and I have already started diving into the general elections.”

Williams, former governor with the WVU Student Government Association, has always had a lot on his plate to balance.

He said this new challenge is something he is looking forward to.

“I just got a new job, I’m finishing up school and running for the House; this is going to be the busiest time of my life,” he said. “Running for office is something I feel is important and I am excited to do, so I am going to make the best of it and enjoy it.”

In his campaign so far, Williams said he has enjoyed sharing his ideas as well as hearing the ideas of citizens around Monongalia County.

“Goal number one is to just share my ideas with people. I have fresh ideas for the state of West Virginia and it has been my experience in the primaries if I can get out and share those ideas with as many people as possible, I think I stand a pretty good chance,” he said.

One of his ideas is to help with the traffic flow in the downtown Morgantown area. According to Williams, a tunnel under University Avenue as it goes by the Mountainlair would be a productive way to make the lives of Morgantown residents and students easier.

“Motorists could use this tunnel to go under University Ave,” he said.

“Students at WVU would

Santucci crossed the finish-line with a time of 2:32:25, an Olympic trials-qualifying time, and took home a sum total of $15,000.

Native to West Union, W.Va., Santucci was a star distance runner during her time at WVU. She earned All-America honors in the 10K twice. Her first was earned on the 20082009 track team. She was awarded the Mid-Atlantic Region Track Athlete of the Year by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association during the same

year.

Santucci currently lives in Dulliner, Pa., and travels to West Virginia each day to her job at HealthWorks in Morgantown, where she instructs classes at the aquatic facility and works with patients for their therapy programs.

Additionally, Santucci trains in Morgantown with WVU’s cross country and track and field head coach, Sean Cleary, as well as with other former and current college runners.

“I love this area and I love running on the rail trail,” she said. “I love this town. It feels like home to me. I can win while training here.”

Professor emeritus creates endowed fund to support University food bank

BY HANNAH WIGAL STAFF WRITER @dailyathenaeum

A West Virginia University professor emeritus has created the Nath Student Food Pantry Endowment through the WVU Foundation to assist the University food bank, “The Rack.”

Joginder Nath retired from the University in 2009 after completing more than forty years of service as a genetics professor.

Nath said he read an article in a local newspaper about The Rack and was unaware of the growing demand for donated food items for WVU students.

“I had read in other newspapers that bigger universities were having issues with students who are unable to afford food,” Nath said. “I didn’t know that

As a student at WVU, Williams believes the University plays a huge role in West Virginia and has a lot to contribute to the state’s future.

“West Virginia University is of paramount importance to the state,” he said. “It is a place where West Virginians can follow their education past K-12. It is a way we can im-

WVU had this problem.”

Nath met with The Rack’s program coordinators Jacqueline Dooley and Erica Bentley about setting up an endowment fund for the food bank.

“I was very excited about what they were doing and I wanted to do something because the students certainly need help,” he said.

Because of high tuition fees, book costs and living expenses, many students at WVU and other universities nationwide are foregoing meals to offset these costs.

“I thought that’s not fair, we should do what we can for the students,” Nath said.

Since the establishment of The Rack in 2010, the food pantry has assisted over 4,000 WVU students along with their dependents.

The Rack is a resource utilized by undergraduate,

graduate and professional students where they can receive food without cost.

The Rack receives funding through donations and grants, however Dooley said The Rack has never received an endowed fund until now.

“The endowment creates a consistent means to the resources available every year to support The Rack,” Dooley said.

Dooley said she wishes to use the endowment to compete for matching funds through the Feinstein Foundation’s hunger relief program.

Being a young student is something Williams believes will help rather than hinder him in his campaign and in a role in the legislator.

“In the legislator we do need young, energetic and fresh leadership. I think my age will be a positive for my leadership in the legislator,” he said.

Williams said getting involved with campaigns is a great and easy way for students to get their foot in the door when it comes to the government. Nobody is going to turn away volunteers, especially during campaign sessions, he said.

He also said he would like to encourage students at WVU to vote in Morgantown and help make a difference.

“I encourage students to vote,” he said. “I speak to a lot of students who say ‘well actually I am from somewhere else, I only live here nine months out of the year.’ Well nine months out of the year is a significant majority of time that you spend in a place, so I would encourage them to register to vote in our area.”

Hospital, The Metropolitan Theatre, as well as several others.

“I do what I can afford, and so far it’s been ok,” he said.

The Nath Student Food Pantry Endowment was established along with A State of Minds: The Campaign for West Virginia’s University, the $750 million extensive campaign coordinated by the WVU Foundation.

“It seemed to me that it was important that I do something that students can benefit from directly and immediately,” Nath said. “What better outfit to do it for than The Rack.”

‘Godzilla’ exceeds expectations with visual, audio special effects

cinefantastiqueonline.com

by maria Solano A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

“Godzilla,” the classic horror movie icon, stomped back onto the silver screen Friday.

With many high expectations weighing on the film, the cast and crew delivered a refreshing summer blockbuster.

In the film, Aaron TaylorJohnson plays the starring role of Ford Brody, a leading scientist with the US Navy.

Joining him is a cast full of surprising talent.

The action starts right at

the beginning. On the morning of Joe Brody’s (Bryan Cranston) birthday in 1999, his wife Sandra (Juliette Binoche) and young son Ford decorate the house before they leave for work and school.

A series of tremors affect the Japanese nuclear power plant Joe oversees. He had been previously tracking them and was nervous about what the results could mean.

But no one listened to him.

15 years later, still no one is listening. Not even his son, Ford, takes his warnning.

Ford is now an adult living in San Francisco with his wife Elle (Elizabeth Olsen) and their son. He specializes in defusing bombs for the US Navy.

Eventually, the scientific community comes around and sees that Joe had been right about danger the entire time. But by then, it is too late. The Japanese government and their top scientists had been covering up evidence, trying to control and understand the cause of the tremors.

When the secret comes to

a head, no amount of coverup work can hide it.

“Godzilla” has many things going for it, from relatable characters to the brave and heroic United States Navy that brings the chaos to a halt.

The special effects in this movie are one of a kind. As each new generation of filmmakers reinvent Godzilla, technologies are pushed to the limit to deliver the ultimate thriller. This reimagining is no exception.

The director, Gareth Edwards, tactfully uses these ef-

fects to add to the intensity.

We are teased with flashes of larger-than-life monster battles drawn out by the filmakers. I enjoyed the teasing with footage of news channels showing destruction from different angles.

The visual and audio effects in the movie were impressive, especially during the fight scene near the end of the movie.

Although the movie shows a lot of the destruction caused

by Godzilla, it also focuses on the monster’s purpose to restore the natural order of the

world.

The characters were built so anyone can relate to the hardships they endure and sympathize with the situations they find themselves in.

The bravery and courage depicted in this film touch our hearts. Not only do humans want to protect themselves and their world, but Godzilla too tries to save us from ourselves. In the end, all we can do is trust that mother nature can put the world back in its place. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

YouTube make up artists paving the way for the future of cosmetics by nicole curtin A&ewriter @dailyathenaeum

YouTube tutorial videos are becoming more and more popular, especially videos featuring makeup application. It’s an easy way to figure out how to achieve a smoky eye or even apply false lashes. These can come in handy and it appears the makeup artists of the YouTube world are taking over the rest of the cosmetic world.

Realizing the potential benefits of marrying beauty with technology, many of these artists and those in the technology field are gearing up for a new way to view cosmetics.

This revolutionary “anyone can be beautiful” ideology has made some famous.

Michelle Phan is leading the way with over six million YouTube subscribers. She released her own makeup line through L’Oreal Luxe in August 2013. Phan has over three hundred videos that range from “Day of the Dead” makeup, to a perfect prom look and a makeup design inspired by Glinda from “The Wizard of Oz.” Phan uses great special

effects to grab the viewer’s attention. Although she may look naive, she is a professional.

Phan has expanded her digital presence to her own website, http://michellephan.com, where she posts other ways to get daily inspiration. She encourages other trendsetters to discuss and post on her site to create a safe and supportive environment.

Another popular name in the YouTube realm is Bethany Mota, an 18-yearold from California who does more than just makeup. Mota posts videos including style tips and ideas for Mother’s Day gifts. But within her nearly 400 videos, there are plenty of makeup tutorials.

Some of her best work includes a guide to quick and easy makeup when you’re late for school and a video on what makeup to wear when you’ll be swimming or sweating.

Aeropostale even picked up Mota for a clothing and jewelry line they released before the holiday season.

Teen Vogue featured her in an issue of their magazine.

British sensation Patricia Bright is also lighting up the Internet. She has been

featured in Paow Magazine and posts frequently in her blog with pictures of her style and new haircut.

All of these young ladies are making their mark on the beauty and fashion industry in a virtual way. The beauty behind all this beauty is how accessible these artists are to young girls across the world.

But Grace Choi, a Harvard business student and makeup enthusiast, is taking all of this a step further with a new invention she calls the Mink.

Choi figured out how to use a 3D printer to print eyeshadow.

3D printers have been used in the medical field for some time and she felt it was ready and able to go mainstream. She figured out a way to print makeup from your home using the same methods large corporations do.

“What we’re doing is taking out the bull shit,” Choi said in a press conference recently. “Big makeup companies take the pigment and the substrates and mix them together and then jack the price. We do the same thing and let you get the make up right in your own house.”

Choi said she hopes the

Mink will only cost about $300 and eventually be able to print cream foundations, lipsticks and other beauty products.

This could totally rev-

olutionize the way we buy cosmetics. Finally, one product could do it all.

With all of the pressure young girls feel to be beau-

tiful, these YouTube sensations are finally putting the makeup brushes back into our hands. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

commentary

The ‘Marco Polo’ effect on college students jake jarvis columnist

There are two kinds of people in the world: the ones who yell “Polo” from inside the pool, and those who yell it from the outside.

They keep telling me college is the time to find myself. Well, I’ve been screaming “Marco” for the past two years, and try as I might, I never heard “Polo.”

Though it’s quite common for a person to change their major multiple times, my journey has taken me to the extremes of academia.

In high school, I was a “theater kid.” Yes, I performed in every play or musical my high school

produced and ached to be in the spotlight.

When I applied to college in Spring 2012, I had clear intentions of pursuing a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Acting. I slept, ate and breathed the stage.

Fast-forward two semesters and I never want to see a stage again.

I felt my major was limiting my life experience.

Majors are like masks you put on and I didn’t like the way the world saw me in that mask. So, as an artistic soul looking for a creative outlet, where did I go?

Naturally I double majored in Biology and Psychology on the track to go to Medical School.

It was a breath of fresh air that I greatly needed.

No longer did people look down on me for my major.

They actually looked up to me. And honestly, they had no reason to do so.

I was about as unfit and unqualified to be pre-med as anyone can be. Sure, I got above average grades and I would have more than likely been accepted into medical school, but this path was not the right fit. But I kept it because seeing people think higher of me felt nice.

When you tell someone, “I’m pre-med,” they assume things about you.

They assume you’re hardworking, goal-oriented and, above all, intelligent.

All of these labels were being assigned to me, despite the fact basic multiplica-

tion still makes my brain feel fuzzy.

It’s hard not to adopt the labels the world projects onto us as identities.

In fact, I’d say about half of what we know to be our “natural selves,” is actually just a reaction to the way the world sees us.

Well, I’ve changed my major again, hopefully this time for good. I am now a print journalism student, and beyond excited about my future. For months, I was “the future doctor” in my family. But in only a few weeks’ time, the way they see me has shifted.

“You know there are no jobs in that, right? You really ought to think things through. You’ve always been too quick to jump

the gun.”

Remember that “Marco Polo” metaphor I was working with at the beginning? Let’s bring it back.

The game has two parts: the call and the response.

If the caller, the “Marco,” is alone in the pool screaming at empty waters, what’s the point? The same goes for the way we label ourselves.

Sure, in a perfect world we all would be beyond labels and would get to know each and every person before we ever assumed anything about them. But in a perfect world, fried mozzarella sticks won’t make me fat.

Labels are going to be there. But the great news is they aren’t permanent,

for our major at least. We can put on masks and take them for a test drive, if only for a semester. That’s what I’ve done and the past two years have been phenomenally eye opening.

So until you find the right mask, jump in the pool and get wet.

When the world screams “Marco,” scream back at them. There’s no other time in our lives where we get to slip in and out of different careers with the click of a button, so take advantage of it. Ultimately, find a major or career path that allows you to be as true to yourself as possible.

Until then, see you in the deep end. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Breakfast of corporations, what they don’t tell you megan Patiry academy of art university

Bagels with a spread of marketing, glasses of freshlysqueezed target sales and bowls of profit-serving promotional campaigns sound like quite the unpalatable selection of breakfasts, yet millions of Americans readily consume them by the spoonful each morning in the name of health.

But does the breakfast we know (cereals, pastries, bagels, orange juice, etc …) actually contribute to our health? And more importantly, is it really better to eat a donut or similar junk food for breakfast, since it’s “the most important meal of the day,” rather than risk our bodies falling into “starvation mode?”

The answer to these questions originates in the land of corporations, where breakfast is marketed as nourishment, for the benefit of everything but the health of the nation.

The idea of “breakfast foods” held no significant meaning, as this could range from meats such as eggs or fresh beef, to local fruits and raw (unpasteurized) milk, unlike the vast array of processed pop tarts, breads and cereals with a sprinkling of artificial vitamins we consume today. So why the shift?

According to author and food historian Andrew F. Smith in AlterNet, “Cold cereals are an invention of vegetarians and the health-food industry, first through Kellogg’s and then through C.W. Post, which steals all of Kellogg’s ideas … These companies realized early on that people like sugar, and kids really like sugar — so they shifted their sales target from adults concerned about health to kids who love sugar. It’s a thoroughly American invention.”

In fact, John Kellogg, Michigan Seventh-Day Adventist physician and antimasturbation activist, orig-

inally invented breakfast cereal in 1894 to provide patients at the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan with an “anti-aphrodisiac” meatless breakfast.

Bagels and cream cheese remained foreign until the 1970s, and donuts were considered a dessert food until Dunkin’ Donuts labeled it a breakfast staple in the 1950s.

Cheerios weren’t released

by General Mills until 1941.

Even yogurt, worth over $4 billion as a health food even today, didn’t give rise until the 1970s and was typically, as it is today, loaded down with more sugar than one should consume in an entire day.

Pit this against traditional yogurt making, which in Greece was made using leftover raw (full-fat) sheep’s milk from making cheese; there was no pasteurization, added sugars, corn syrup, or removal of fat. Yogurt was simply … yogurt.

Even orange juice, which seems innocent both in name and packaging, can provide a harsh lesson in the realities of industry labeling and marketing. What began in the 1930s as a “health beverage” has never truly been much more than fructose, chemicals and sugars in a bottle, with each serving containing about eight teaspoons of sugar, or almost as much as a can of soda (ten teaspoons).

Additionally, major orange juice companies such as Tropicana store the juice in giant tanks and remove its oxygen, allowing the juice to keep for up to a year without spoiling. Since this process strips the juice of its flavor compounds, the companies then proceed to hire flavor and fragrance companies– the same companies that create perfumes for brands such as Dior. They then create flavor pack formulas composed of chemicals not found in nature and that are geared to different palates.

For instance, ethyl butyrate, a chemical in the fragrance of fresh squeezed orange juice, is added to many North American orange

juice companies’ packs, since it’s a taste that “American’s seem to prefer.”

“Ask yourself why, like most people, you drink orange juice,” Alissa Hamilton, agriculture expert, urges in Squeezed: What You Don’t Know About Orange Juice.

“You probably say the reason is that it is good for you, or that it is high in vitamin C, or that you grew up drinking it and like it. If so, then I must frankly tell you that, when it comes to orange juice, you are acting like a robot.”

Hamilton’s words ring true, not just in the world of orange juice drinkers, but in the world of breakfast (and most “food”) in America.

The simple fact remains that most packaged, processed foods are the children of corporate monsters, designed to drive sales through catering to America’s sweet tooth; their nutritional value is null and void, and the advice I’ve seen given by nutritionists to “eat a donut rather than go without breakfast” is absolutely cause for alarm in a society with unfounded obesity levels.

But what about all those studies showing how slimmer individuals eat breakfast, and all the advice telling us we’ll crash and burn if we skip it?

Most studies of this nature are large, observational studies that rely on associations between habitual breakfast eaters and obesity with no cause and effect.

Association studies contain many assumptions and downfalls. For instance, we can view the results of an observational study highlighting how breakfast-skippers typically weigh more than breakfast eaters; what this type of study doesn’t take into account is the daily eating habits of the breakfast-skipper versus the breakfast-eater.

The breakfast-skipper may be the type who skips breakfast regularly only to indulge in a Snickers bar at 11 a.m. and a lunch of McDonald’s a few hours later, followed by fried chicken in corn oil and boxed, processed mashed potatoes for dinner, while the breakfasteater may consume a breakfast of free-range eggs with a side of fresh fruit, a lunch consisting of a green salad with chicken, and a dinner of salmon and vegetables.

This is simply incomparable: there is no doubt in anyone’s mind that the breakfast-eater will be healthier and thinner, yet this does not mean that eating breakfast is a requirement for

businessinsider.com

health or that we should be eating donuts for breakfast if we have the option of eating nothing. However, at the end of the day, society only sees “Breakfast-Eaters Weigh Less and Are Healthier,” while they pull up to Dunkin’ Donuts.

Many are concerned that skipping breakfast will cause weight gain due to the myth that eating more meals increases metabolic rate, and therefore increases fat burn.

A study on meal frequencies and the Thermic Effect of Food published in 1997 found, ”Studies using whole-body calorimetry and doubly-labelled water to assess total 24h energy expenditure find no difference between nibbling and gorging.”

This reiterates that there is no difference between whether one consumes many small meals throughout the day or instead consumes 2-3 larger meals on the amount of energy our bodies use in a given day.

Packaged food companies simply spread the myth that we need to eat six to eight times a day in order to drive sales, since most Americans don’t have the time to cook or prepare for many meals a day and therefore rely on processed bars and shakes.

However, weight loss and weight gain aren’t the only concerns accompanying skipping breakfast; many individuals eat the donut (or other sugary substitute) in fear of a blood sugar crash or low energy throughout the day, as propagated by food corporations and the government. On the contrary, the human body is an amazingly efficient organism, and would not have survived and adapted were this information even partially correct. Martin Berkhan of LeanGains cites how, “It would take no less than three days or 84 hours of fasting to reach blood sugar levels low enough to affect your mental state; and this is temporary, as your brain adapts to the use of ketones. During 48 hours of fasting, or severe calorie deprivation, blood sugar is maintained within a normal range; no measure of cognitive performance is negatively affected.”

The bottom line – one many do not want to hear – is that sound nutrition relies on simple, whole foods in their natural state. This includes foods that do not need to be processed, flavored with artificial flavors, have sugars added, or fat removed. Ancestral dietary habits practiced before the mass production of “staple” processed foods hold the key to health and nourish the body with foods it recognizes, not mere chemicals and sugars dressed up in pretty packaging.

On that note, we need a national movement to truly educate the population, not just educate it in a way that turns profits. We need chemical “orange juice” to become an orange, for “veggie chips” to become fresh vegetables, and for “yogurt” to become actual yogurt free of sugars and corn syrup.

We need breakfast “staples,” and all meals, for that matter, to move from packaged and sugar-laden to fresh and in their natural state.

We need to skip the donut.

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you become more receptive to others’ needs. Still, you must take even better care of yourself and honor your boundaries. If you are single, get plenty of rest now, because come midsummer, your social life could change for the better. You also will add to the potential of meeting Mr. or Ms. Right. If you are attached, the two of you could become bogged down in a financial matter. Know that this will work out. By August, an innate sense of well-being opens up this relationship once more. Toss yourself into this fun, optimistic period. Your significant other will be relieved to find communication flowing again.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH You might find it more difficult right now to complete any project that in-

volves physical effort. If you allow your mind to wander, you are likely to come up with unusually dynamic ideas, though it might not be appropriate to start sharing them just yet.

Tonight: Stay in.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH You’ll want to focus on some long-term goals. Expenses will be overwhelming and taxing, unless you ask someone to pitch in and help.

Focus on the practical solutions that come up in a meeting. A friend might be quite distracting. Tonight: Let the good times rock and roll.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHHH Pressure builds around someone in charge, an older relative and/or a commitment. You will feel as if you must discharge some of this energy, but you might wonder how. Take a

walk, delegate and use a support system in which you can exchange ideas. Tonight: In the limelight.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHH Make and return calls. Touch base with a close friend who does not live close to you. Your creativity flourishes when the two of you get together. Allow your mind to wander to other places. Is it time to schedule a vacation yet? Tonight: Be around great music.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You might want to assume a more passive role. A friend has a tendency to run through your life and add a lot of chaos. Respond to someone else’s ideas, yet maintain your boundaries. Make key calls later in the day. Be as direct as possible.

Tonight: Dinner for two.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Defer to others, and build goodwill.

Share what could be inspiring and exciting information that was passed on to you. Use caution with spending, as you could go overboard. A loved one or partner could be remote or difficult. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HH You might want to discuss a situation in broad terms. The problem remains that you see a situation differently from how others see it; you could become irritated as a result. This bubbling frustration will build if others do not bend in your direction. Tonight: At a favorite place.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH Your resourcefulness will take you in a different direction. You could feel very strongly about a creative project

or situation. You even might be suppressing some anger. Relate to others directly and on a one-on-one level.

Tonight: Tap into your imagination when making plans.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You’ll feel ready to deal with a difficult situation. You finally will decide to root out the problem through your intuitive senses. You refuse to believe that a solution cannot be forthcoming. Please note all the mixed messages that come your way.

Tonight: Happy to be home.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH Be forthright in how you deal with someone. Listen to feedback from a loved one, as this person could have a totally different perspective to offer.

Funnel your energy and drive into a project that must be completed. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HH Use the morning just for you. You will wake up feeling unusually energized and upbeat. Charge some of your emotional energy into a project, and tap into your ingenuity. The outcome will demonstrate your unique creativity. Tonight: Indulge a little.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHH You are emotional yet anchored.

Understand what is happening with a loved one, but let this person know the implications of this behavior to you. He or she needs to understand that there are consequences for his or her actions. Tonight: Homeward bound.

Artists showcase talent at Billboard

A hologram of Michael Jackson performs ‘Slave to the Rhythm.’

by jake jarvis A&E Editor @JakeJarivswvu

The 22nd Annual Billboard Music Awards showed a playful side of the music industry with artists bringing high energy performances and touching acceptance speeches.

The night began with the red carpet. Unfortunately, there were not many standout looks.

Jennifer Lopez, honored with the Icon Award, was without a doubt the best dressed. Her red chiffon Donna Karan gown showed plenty of leg with a large slit up the side. She may be nearly 45 years old, but Jenny from the block has still got it.

A surprising look came from Kesha. We typically see her in “DIY rave” attire, but the “Timber” singer

brought the glamour for the evening’s festivities with a stunning, floor-length mermaid gown. Great features of her look were her dewy, almost nude makeup and simple hair.

But the real reason we watch these shows, other than to see who wins what award, is to see which performance tops the rest.

We’re just over a month away from the anniversary of the death of Micahel Jackson, the undeniable king of pop music. Many celebrities have taken time to express their love of Jackson, but on Sunday night Jackson rose from the grave for one final performance.

That’s right, he performed “live.”

Lorde performs latest single ‘Tennis Courts.’ song “Slave to the Rhythm.”

Katy Perry followed in Jackson’s footsteps and performed with the aid of technology.

Perry is currently in the midst of her Prismatic World Tour. During the awards show, she was at the Newcastle Metro Radio Arena in the UK. Thanks to a livestream, Perry performed her latest single, “Birthday.”

Perry gave a Technicolor performance. One lucky fan, who happened to be celebrating her birthday that night, was invited onto the stage to be serenaded

by Perry and her dancers.

Perry, along with Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Imagine Dragons and Bruno Mars were nominated for the Top Artist award. I first thought Cyrus was going to win because of her huge commercial success last Fall, but I was

wrong.

Timberlake won the Top Artist and Top Billboard 200 Album awards for his album “The 20/20 Experience.”

In the Top 100 Song category, it was really a toss-up for who would win. “Royals,” “Wrecking Ball,” “Roar,” “Radioactive” and “Blurred Lines” were the nominees. And quite frankly, each of these songs have been stuck in my head for the past year.

Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” won. The song has been played often by radio DJs, and every time it comes on the radio, people are quick to shut it off.

But despite this, Thicke was more than deserving.

Surprisingly, Justin Bieber took home the award for Top Social Artist. Bieber has been surrounded in controversy lately after allegedly attempting to rob a woman.

She supposedly tried to snap a photograph of him.

This upset him, provoking him to steal her phone.

But the award doesn’t suggest the artist has good social skills. Instead, it suggests their presence on social media is worthy of an award.

With 51.7 million followers on Twitter, 67.6 million likes on Facebook and 16 million followers on Instagram, Bieber is a force to be reckoned with. ​ But what would the night be without a visit from “Royals” singer Lorde?

WVU has solid showing at Big 12 Championships

By Kevin Hooker Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Despite a hot and humid weekend in Lubbock, Texas, the West Virginia women’s track and field team competed well at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships.

Coming into the weekend, four senior Mountaineers ranked in the top six in the Big 12 in their respective events.

Allison Lasnicki and Sarah Martinelli entered the championships both

ranked No. 3 in the 10,000 meter and 3,000 meter steeplechase, respectively.

Stormy Nesbit came into the weekend ranked No. 3 in the triple jump, while Chene Townsend ranked No. 6 in the 100-meter hurdles.

Lasnicki took second in the 10,000 meter run on Friday in the lone running event of the day with a time of 35:24.25. Sophomore Savanna Plombon finished tenth overall with a time of 36:53.99.

Saturday’s events were dominated by the seniors,

as the Mountaineers saw season-best times from two of its field athletes. Nesbit placed fifth overall in the long jump with a season best distance of 6.06 meters, beating out her previous season-best mark by one foot.

Townsend finished fifth in the preliminary round of the 100-meter hurdles with a season-best time of 13.37 seconds.

Freshman Brianna Kerekes just missed qualifying for the finals of the 800-meter run. She did, however,

finish with a personal best time of 2:14.70.

Sophomore Marsielle McBeam posted a career best mark in the high jump with a distance of 1.76 meters, and she finished tied for fourth.

Nesbit tied her career best mark in the triple jump with a mark of 13.07 meters and finished third.

Martinelli placed fourth in the 3,000 meter steeplechase, while freshman Megan Yuan finished just behind her in fifth place.

Townsend carried her

momentum over from the previous day, placing fifth in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 13.38, .01 seconds behind her preliminary time.

Following up her second place finish on Friday, Lasnicki placed fourth in the 5,000 meter run with a time of 17:23.26. Lasnicki and Nesbit were the lone Mountaineers to record top-5 finishes in multiple events.

WVU registered seven season-best and four career-best marks and recorded eight top-five

finishes.

The Mountaineers will be off this upcoming weekend in preparation for the first round of the NCAA Championships, which will take place May 29-31 in Jacksonville, Fla. Athletes who finish in the top 48 in the respective events earn an automatic berth to the NCAA East Preliminary Round.

AP

Former Bears quarterback Jim McMahon shares the podium with President Obama in 2011.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Opening another legal attack on the NFL over the longterm health of its athletes, a group of retired players accused the league in a lawsuit Tuesday of cynically supplying them with powerful painkillers and other drugs that kept them in the game but led to serious complications down the road.

The lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages on behalf of more than 500 ex-athletes, charges the NFL with chasing profits over protecting its players’ health.

To speed injured athletes’ return to the field, team doctors and trainers administered drugs illegally, without obtaining prescriptions or warning of the possible side effects, the plaintiffs contend.

Some football players said they were never told they had broken bones and were instead fed pills to mask the pain.

One said that instead of surgery, he was given antiinflammatory drugs and excused from practices so he could play in games. Others said that after years of free pills from the NFL, they retired addicted to the painkillers.

NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy, in Atlanta for the league’s spring meetings, said: “We have not seen the lawsuit, and our attorneys have not had an opportunity to review it.”

The case comes less than a year after the NFL agreed to pay $765 million to settle lawsuits from thousands of retired players who accused it of concealing the risks of concussions. A judge has yet to approve the settlement, expressing concern the amount is too small.

The athletes in the concussion case blamed dementia and other health problems on the bone-crushing hits that helped lift pro football to new heights of popularity.

The new lawsuit was filed in federal court in San Francisco and names eight players as plaintiffs, including three members of the NFL champion 1985 Chicago Bears: quarterback Jim McMahon, Hall of Fame defensive end Richard Dent and offensive lineman Keith Van Horne.

More than 500 other former players have signed on to the lawsuit, according to lawyers, who are seeking class-action status for the case. Six of the plaintiffs also took part in the concussionrelated litigation, including McMahon and Van Horne.

According to the lawsuit, players were routinely given cocktails of drugs that included narcotic painkillers Percodan, Percocet and Vicodin, anti-inflammatories such as Toradol, and sleep

aids such as Ambien.

Toradol, which can be injected, was described as “the current game-day drug of choice of the NFL.” The medication can raise the risk of heart attack, stroke or intestinal bleeding.

After receiving numbing injections and pills before games, players got more drugs and sleep aids after games, “to be washed down by beer,” the lawsuit says.

Kyle Turley, who played for four teams in his eightyear career, said drugs were “handed out to us like candy.”

“There was a room set up near the locker room and you got in line,” Turley said.

“Obviously, we were grown adults and we had a choice.

But when a team doctor is saying this will take the pain away, you trust them.”

McMahon said he suffered a broken neck and ankle during his career, but instead of sitting out, he received medication and was pushed back onto the field.

Team doctors and trainers never told him about the injuries, according to the lawsuit.

McMahon also became addicted to painkillers, at one point taking more than 100 Percocet pills per month, even in the offseason, the lawsuit says.

Van Horne played an entire season on a broken leg and wasn’t told about the injury for five years, “during which time he was fed a constant diet of pills to deal with the pain,” the lawsuit says.

“The NFL knew of the debilitating effects of these drugs on all of its players and callously ignored the players’ long-term health in its obsession to return them to play,” said Steven Silverman, an attorney for the players.

His Baltimore firm also represents former National Hockey League players in a concussion-related lawsuit.

Former offensive lineman Jeremy Newberry retired in 2009 and said that because of the drugs he took while playing, he suffers from kidney failure, high blood pressure and violent headaches.

On game days, Newberry said, he and up to 25 of his San Francisco 49ers teammates would retreat to the locker room to receive Toradol injections in the buttocks 10 minutes before kickoff.

The drug numbed the pain almost instantaneously.

“The stuff works, it works like crazy. It really does.

There were whole seasons when I was in a walking boot and crutches,” Newberry said in an interview. “I would literally crutch into the facility and sprint out of the tunnel to go play.”

Newberry said he never considered not taking the drugs because he knew he’d

After enduring a season of ups and downs, the West Virginia baseball team heads into their opening game of the Big 12 tournament against the Kansas Jayhawks, riding a seven-game losing streak and needing a strong showing in Oklahoma City in order to solidify its chances of qualifying for a regional in the NCAA Tournament.

Thanks in part to playing such a tough schedule this season, the Mountaineers come into the tournament with an RPI of 29, which

would figure to put them in good position to qualify for postseason play.

“Our RPI reflects that we’re having a really good season,” said head coach Randy Mazey. “The league is really good this year. It’s the second ranked league in the country for a reason. All of the teams are good, and when you play good teams, that’s what you get.”

With an overall record of 186-86, the Big 12 ranks No. 2 as a conference in overall RPI, trailing just the SEC. The Mountaineers had struggled at times in conference, especially on the road, but Mazey said because of

the strength of the conference, West Virginia’s record of 27-24 may not be indicative of how good the team is.

“We feel like we have a really good team,” Mazey said.

“This is what the Big 12 is. It’s a really good conference, and when you go on the road in the Big 12 that’s what you get.

“You play against top-25 teams all the time, and it’s hard to win like that. I don’t think we’re playing bad by any stretch of the imagination.”

While playing in such a tough conference may have hurt their record during the regular season, Mazey said the fact his team was able to hold its own and compete in

the Big 12 should strengthen the Mountaineers’ chances of locking up a spot in a regional.

“Being in the Big 12, the second ranked conference in the country, is going to help us,” he said. “There are only three teams in the ACC with a better RPI than us and three teams in the Pac-12 that have a better RPI than we do. We feel pretty good about where we’re at right now.”

Despite being in relatively good shape with their RPI, Mazey said the Mountaineers need to take control of their own postseason destiny.

“You never know what you need to get in. It all depends on what else happens

around the country,” he said.

“In boxing and MMA, they always say don’t leave it in the hands of the judges, go for a knockout. We’ve got to play like we’re playing with something to prove, so we’re going to have to have all hands on deck to have to win some games down here.”

Mazey said he is sticking with the starting pitching rotation of Harrison Musgrave, Ross Vance and John Means during the tournament.

The first pitch of the Mountaineers’ matchup with Kansas is scheduled today at 10 a.m. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Luck names Henson new wrestling coach

By Connor Murray Sports Editor @ConnorKMurray

Nick Holstein/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Head coach Sammie Henson speaks with the media Monday.

West Virginia Athletic Director Oliver Luck announced ex-Missouri assistant Sammie Henson is taking over as WVU’s new wrestling coach Monday.

Henson is the eighth coach in the program’s history and replaces Craig Turnbull, who spent 36 years leading the Mountaineers.

Henson, who won a silver medal as a wrestler in the 2000 Olympics, brings a wealth

of experience to the job, although this is his first head coaching opportunity.

“We are excited to have Sammie Henson join the Mountaineer family as our new head wrestling coach,” Luck said. “Sammie has experienced much success as a wrestler and a coach, and he knows what it takes to win. He brings a lot of excitement, energy and enthusiasm and understands the work ethic that all Mountaineers share.”

In his 17 years of coaching experience, Henson has coached 20 All-Americans and five NCAA national champions.

During his two years as head assistant coach at Missouri, Henson helped the Tigers clinch consecutive conference titles and was a part of signing the No. 2 recruiting class in the nation in 2013.

“First of all, I want to thank Oliver Luck, Keli Cunningham and Terri Howes and the rest of the athletic staff at West Virginia for believing in me,” Henson said. “I know they were searching for the right person to lead West Virginia wrestling, and they found the right person for the job.

“This is a great fit for me and my family, and I look forward to changing the culture

to making West Virginia wrestling among the nation’s best.”

While Henson has had considerable success on the wrestling mat as a coach and an athlete, Luck said that’s not the only reason he believed in him enough to give him his first head coaching job.

“He has an excellent record academically during his coaching career, and that is important to us provided our recent issues,” Luck said.

While working under head coach Brian Smith at Missouri, Henson gained a reputation as one of the top assistant coaches in the country.

He said Smith played a role in preparing him to eventually step into a head coaching position.

“I want to thank Brian Smith (head wrestling coach at Missouri) and the University of Missouri for the opportunities that they have presented to me and preparing me to become the head wrestling coach at West Virginia,” Henson said. “My style of wrestling and coaching is something that Mountaineer fans and the administration will be proud of. I’m excited about this opportunity and can’t wait to get started.” connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Despite a second straight season of failing to qualify for the NCAA Tournament, the West Virginia men’s basketball team had reason for optimism for the 2014-15 season.

The Mountaineers finished 17-16 (9-9 in Big 12 Conference play) last season, which included three wins over top-25 teams, most notably No. 8 Kansas in the last home game of the season.

Since Juwan Staten made his announcement to stay in school on March 31, two of WVU’s top three scorers have left the program, undoubtedly raising eyebrows among the Mountaineer faithful.

Sophomore guard Eron Harris could’ve been one of the most talented shooting guards in the Big 12 next season. He followed up his promising freshman year by averaging 17.2 points per game on 44 percent shooting while starting in all 33 games.

On May 7, Harris finally received permission to be released from the program so he could attend school closer to his hometown in Indianapolis, IN. Harris’ choice of schools has reportedly been narrowed down to Purdue, Michigan State, Michigan and Auburn.

Two days after he was released, guard Terry Henderson also requested a transfer release from the school. Henderson was third in scoring on the team, averaging 11.7 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in his sophomore season. He was arguably the team’s best and efficient shooter.

Then, on May 10, it was announced forward Remi Dibo would likely leave the program to play professionally in his native country of France.

Dibo and coach Bob Huggins will reportedly talk about Dibo’s future plans, but according to the coach, he’s set to leave.

“I have not talked to him,” Huggins said. “But, he has told one of our assistants that he is returning to France to play professionally.”

Dibo transferred to West Virginia from Casper College after the 2013 season. Despite limitations on defense and rebounding, Dibo averaged 7.1 points per game last season off the bench.

Transferring schools isn’t something unfamiliar in Morgantown. Last season, Huggins lost Jabarie Hinds, Aaron Brown and Volodymyr Gerun to transfers and kicked Aaron Murray off the team for detrimental conduct. Murray averaged 21.6 points per game at Texas Southern last season.

Since the team’s Final Four appearance in 2010, Huggins has lost 13 of his 23 recruits.

It’s also worth noting Huggins inherited his Final Four roster from the previous coach, John Beilein, as the key players on that team were mostly comprised of seniors.

In my years of following college basketball, it’s rare to see this many players leave a program in such a short span. Obviously, the players loved the program enough to be recruited to play, but somewhere along the line, those feelings changed.

It’s difficult to see a situation where WVU basketball is relevant in 2015, despite having one of the best players in conference on the roster in Staten.

Despite turmoil in Morgantown, Huggins remains adamant that his team’s future is bright.

“We’re going to be fine,” he said. “I’m excited about the year and what we’re doing.

I think our guys are excited about the challenge. I think there is a lot of excitement.”

Huggins may be the hometown hero of Morgantown, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t made a tournament appearance since the team’s embarrassing first round lost to Gonzaga in 2012. Huggins needs to fix his program before more players head for the exits. dasports@mail.wvu.edu
