Office of complex destroyed by fire

Chateau Royale’s leasing office burns as spectators gather.

wboy.com

Fire departments from Morgantown, Granville, Cassville and Cool Springs along with the Monongalia County EMS responded to a fire at the Chateau Royale apartment complex Saturday.

The fire, which destroyed the second floor of the leasing office for the complex, took about three hours to extinguish, an eye

witness said.

No one was in the building at the time the blaze started, which was around noon. No one was injured in the fire.

Rj Kibert, a sophomore exercise physiology student and resident of Chateau Royale, said he was returning home when he saw the smoke coming from the leasing office.

“I came back to my apartment, which is right next to the office, and I saw smoke,” he said. “I ran

out onto our porch and saw the corner office on fire.”

Kibert said he discovered the flames before the fire trucks began to arrive.

“They weren’t there yet, but it didn’t take very long – maybe three minutes at the most before they began to arrive,” Kibert said. “It was pretty crazy. I’m just glad it didn’t start on the first floor and burn the whole thing down.”

The cause of the fire is

still unknown, and there is an investigation underway by the State Fire Marshall’s office.

Kirsten Pizza, a senior psychology student, said she and her boyfriend were returning to his apartment at the complex when they were faced with the smoke and fire trucks.

University launches LiveSafe app to increase campus safety

wvutoday.wvu.edu

The LiveSafe app provides users a variety of features, displayed above.

BY alyssa Lazar Staff Writer @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University’s Student Government Association and University Police have teamed up to bring a safety mobile app to the WVU campus. Students with an iPhone or Android phone can download the LiveSafe app and be one step closer to campus safety.

Kristina Anderson,a survivor of the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting, created the app to ensure faster communication between students and authorities in times of emergency.

The launch of the app provides an on-the-go source of safety for students on campus. The WVU Police Department capitalized on the mobile presence among its students.

The app will allow students to send pictures and text tips to UPD almost instantaneously. It will display the latest news and safety broadcasts on the screen, as well as allow students to inconspicuously communicate with UPD in emergency situations.

Instead of locating the nearest “blue light” on campus, students can enable the “blue light” right on their phones, emitting a GPS tracking of their lo-

cation to UPD. It can also be students’ companions when walking home alone at night.

Friends and family can watch students, via the app, as they walk to where they need to be.

When current SGA vicepresident Jacob Evans ran for Student Government, it was his promise to bring more safety to campus. By working with the University Police Department, he was able to make his promise a reality.

“We are starting the implementation phase and in order for it to be as successful as possible, we highly urge all students to download, install and use this app to help keep our students as safe as possible,” Evans said.

In the fall, when Evans was discussing safety apps, WVU Police Chief Bob Roberts had just seen a presentation about the LiveSafe app. Together, they were able to capitalize on students’ use of mobile apps and implement safety into the picture.

“The app and partnership with SGA continues to build a relationship with the campus community,” Roberts said. “This app will allow the campus community to be active participants in reducing crime

Mountainlair holds baseball-themed kickoff for summer students

BY SUMMER RATCLIFF City Editor @dailyathenaeum

West Virginia University kicked off its summer programming for the Mountainlair Wednesday with an afternoon of baseball-themed activities and stadium foods for students taking summer classes on campus.

The kickoff event is a tradition that was started as a way to engage with students who are taking summer classes and might not have other ways to make new connections.

“I think it’s a good way to keep students who are here on campus involved throughout the summer,” said Erin Blake, Mountainlair special events coordinator. “It gives them a little break from classes and a way to have some fun.

Overall, I think it went really well. Everyone seemed to have a great time, and it was a fun way for them to get out of the rain and get

some free food and great prizes.”

Students had the opportunity to create teams of four and compete for prize packages with gifts from numerous area businesses.

Competitions ranged from a fast pitch challenge to an intense obstacle course.

Anthony Braxton, a junior marketing student and assistant director of the Mountaineer Maniacs, formed a team of four with his friends and said he thought it was a great opportunity for students new to Morgantown.

“This program has been a really great experience,” Braxton said. “It gives us all a chance to take a break and gives new students a chance to meet other people and get their feet wet a little bit.”

Participants included former Mountaineer Mascot Michael Garcia and student body president Chris Nyden.

Incoming freshman wins local, primary election, prepares to begin college

BY ALEXIS RANDOLph STAFF Writer @dailyathenaeum

While many incoming freshmen are excited for college to start in the fall, Saira Blair, an incoming West Virginia University freshman from Hedgesville, W.Va., has other reasons for her current excitement.

Blair is running as a Republican candidate to represent the 59th District of West Virginia in the House of Delegates. At only 17 years old, Blair defeated the Republican incumbent, Delegate Larry Kump, in the primary election to move on to the general elections in November.

She describes herself as pro-life, pro-marriage, profamily, pro-second amendment and pro-business –

the latter being her focus for West Virginia. She said she hopes to lead the youth of the state down a conservative path and show them they don’t have to wait until later in life to become involved in politics.

“A lot of students in our state can receive a good education here, and once they graduate, there is nothing left for them. They can’t find a good paying job,” Blair said. “I want to bring jobs to the state of West Virginia.”

While hoping to inspire other young people to get involved, Blair said she draws much of her inspiration from her female role models.

“I have been inspired by other women such as Condoleezza Rice and Margaret Mead,” she said. “She (Mead) was an anthro-

pologist, and she had one quote which has always inspired me. ‘Never doubt that a small group of dedicated citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.’

So that has always been my mantra.”

Blair said another big inspiration is her father, who is a state senator.

West Virginia’s legislature is a part-time legislature. If elected, Blair plans to attend classes during the fall and summer semester at WVU while serving in the legislature in the spring.

“Multi-tasking has always been a part of my household. In high school, I was a member of 15 different clubs and officers of all of them. I’ve always wanted to be really busy,” she said. “Just as other legislators have full time jobs,

school would be my full time job.”

Blair was able to vote in the May election, due to a West Virginia law saying 17-year-olds can vote as long as they are 18 by November.

Blair said she is excited to attend WVU in the fall.

“It has always been my dream school. I love the atmosphere that the school provides,” she said. “I want to double major in business and Spanish, and they offer a lot of great study abroad programs.”

As part of her campaign, Blair has given out her personal cell phone number and email address for voters to contact her.

Prosecutor says Aaron Hernandez killed two in drive-by shooting over spilled drink BOSTON (AP) — A spilled drink in a Boston nightclub led former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez to kill two people in a drive-by shooting because he felt he’d been disrespected, prosecutors said Wednesday.

“I think I got one in the head and one in the chest,” Hernandez said to a friend as they fled the intersection where the victims were shot in their car, prosecutors said at the former gridiron star’s arraignment.

Hernandez, already charged with killing another man last year, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to seven charges – including two counts of first-degree murder – in the 2012 shooting that killed Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado. A third man was wounded.

In the months before the killings, Suffolk County First Assistant District Attorney Patrick Haggan told the court Hernandez had become increasingly convinced that people “had been testing, trying or otherwise disrespecting him when he frequented nightclubs in the area.”

The night de Abreu and Furtado were killed, Haggan said Hernandez and a friend drove from Connecticut to a Boston nightclub called Cure. They were standing at the edge of the dance floor when de Abreu accidentally bumped into Hernandez, smiled at him and did not apologize, according to prosecutors. Haggan said

de Abreu and his friends did not appear to recognize Hernandez and had no idea he was upset.

Hernandez became increasingly agitated and told his friend that de Abreu had deliberately bumped into him and “was trying him,” Haggan said.

Surveillance video outside the club shows Hernandez pacing back and forth on the sidewalk as his friend tried to calm him down, Haggan said. Hernandez and his friend then crossed the street to another nightclub, where Hernandez thought he saw de Abreu and his friends come in, according to Haggan.

Hernandez then told his friend he believed he was “being targeted and being disrespected,” Haggan said. In fact, de Abreu and his friends had not left the other club.

Haggan said Hernandez later drove around with his friend until he saw de Abreu, Furtado and others going to their car, then followed them and pulled up alongside their car at a red light.

“At this time, the victims were completely unaware there was any problem with the defendant,” Haggan said.

Hernandez leaned out the driver’s side, said “Yo, what’s up now,” followed by a racial slur, then fired at least five shots into the car, killing de Abreu and Furtado, and injuring a man sitting in the back seat, Haggan said.

walltecno.com

Aaron Hernandez walks through the courtroom in handcuffs.

Hernandez’s attorney, Charles Rankin, objected, saying the prosecutor’s account of the shooting was an attempt to poison the jury pool. Clerk Magistrate Gary Wilson dismissed the objection, saying it is standard procedure for prosecutors to describe evidence during arraignments in murder cases.

Family members of the victims filled four rows in the courtroom. One woman sobbed loudly as Hernan-

dez entered his not guilty pleas.

De Abreu and Furtado were close friends who attended school and served in the military together in Cape Verde before coming to the United States, according to the attorney who represents their families in a $6 million civil suit against Hernandez.

The two men were shot about six weeks before Hernandez signed a five-year, $40 million contract with

the Patriots. He went on to catch 51 passes and score five touchdowns that season, his last in the NFL. Hernandez, 24, was released by the Patriots last summer after he was charged in the June 17 killing of semi-pro football player Odin Lloyd, who was dating a sister of Hernandez’s fiancee. Lloyd’s body was found in an industrial area near Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough.

Hernandez’s lawyers have

said he is looking forward to proving his innocence.

Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley would not comment when reporters asked if Lloyd’s killing was linked to the earlier killings of de Abreu and Furtado. He said Lloyd was not the friend who was with Hernandez the night the two men were killed.

Hernandez will continue to be held without bail. He is due back in court June 24 for a scheduling hearing.

30 percent of world now considered ‘fat,’ no country able to curb obesity rates LONDON (AP) — Almost a third of the world is now fat, and no country has been able to curb obesity rates in the last three decades, according to a new global analysis.

Researchers found more than 2 billion people worldwide are now overweight or obese.

The highest rates were in the Middle East and

North Africa, where nearly 60 percent of men and 65 percent of women are heavy. The U.S. has about 13 percent of the world’s fat population, a greater percentage than any other country. China and India combined have about 15 percent.

“It’s pretty grim,” said Christopher Murray of the Institute for Health

Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, who led the study. He and colleagues reviewed more than 1,700 studies covering 188 countries from 1980 to 2013. “When we realized that not a single country has had a significant decline in obesity, that tells you how hard a challenge this is.”

Murray said there was

a strong link between income and obesity; as people get richer, their waistlines also tend to start bulging. He said scientists have noticed accompanying spikes in diabetes and that rates of cancers linked to weight, like pancreatic cancer, are also rising.

The new report was paid for by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

and published online Thursday in the journal, Lancet.

Last week, the World Health Organization established a high-level commission tasked with ending childhood obesity.

“Our children are getting fatter,” Dr. Margaret Chan, WHO’s director-general, said bluntly during a speech at the

agency’s annual meeting in Geneva. “Parts of the world are quite literally eating themselves to death.” Earlier this year, WHO said that no more than 5 percent of your daily calories should come from sugar.

“Modernization has not been good for health,” said Syed Shah, an obesity expert at United Arab Emir-

Maya Angelou passes away leaving legacy jake jarvis a&e editor @jakejarviswvu

Maya Angelou, a three time Grammy award winner, Pulitzer Prize nominee, Tony award nominee and recipient of more than 30 honarary degrees, passed yesterday morning at the age of 86.

What she leaves behind is more than a list of accomplishments or a shelf of golden statues to collect dust. Angelou leaves a legacy that transcends the words of even her most famous poems.

She spent her last hours in her home in Winston-Salem, N.C., Guy B Johnson, Angelou’s son, reported that she passed just before 8 a.m. Wednesday morning without many health complications.

She earned her wisdom like a war hero, battling and overcoming the diversity that affected her life.

Angelou grew up during the depression, was the victim of rape at age 8, silent for six years after, a mother at age 16 and had segregation as the backdrop of most of her life.

Many are calling her death the “loss of a national

treasure.” But this is not accurate.

A treasure as great as Angelou cannot be owned, and therefore, it cannot be lost. Her wealth is too great for this world, and we were only loaned her brilliance for a short 86 years. She was never “ours” to begin with.

We were hers.

I remember very fondly the first time I heard her raspy voice and all-knowing giggles recite, “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings.”

My grandmother had an audio taping of one of her works. She would play her stories while she cooked in the kitchen. I sat there trying to imagine the mysterious woman’s face.

Angelou made herself vulnerable by being transparent with her audience about her darker days. This was so we could feel safe enough to find comfort in her words.

And boy, did she have a lot of words.

Only hours after the public became aware of her passing, the internet was decorated with her quotes.

Some of these make us drop our heads in grief, and still, some make our chests well in pride.

These manifestations of

grief echo across the world, particularly from other artists and celebrities close to Angelou.

“She was there for me always, guiding me through some of the most important years of my life,” said Oprah Winfrey in a recent Instagram post. “The world knows her as a poet, but at the heart

of her, she was a teacher.”

The saddest of all these things is, just as her infamous poem “Still I Rise” tells us, that the world keeps on turning. The sun keeps on rising.

It feels that for such a woman to pass, the Earth should take notice.

Thank you, Maya Ange-

Table 9 is located on Donley Street in the Wharf District of downtown Morgantown and is open every day. It costs $10 to attend the event.

Another local place to enjoy your choice of wine is Forks of Cheat Winery on Stewartstown Road.

Co-owner Eric Deal said their business of wine distribution has expanded a lot over the years.

“We have grown a good bit over the past 30 years,” Deal said. “We started off our first year, and we had 684 gallons of production. This year, we’re closer to 24,000 or 25,000 gallons.”

According to Deal, since they started making and selling wine at Forks of Cheat, there has been a boom in the winery business across the nation.

“We’ve gone from just a small handful of wineries spread out across the country to over 10,000 wineries in this country now,” he said. “When we got in this business, there were less than 3,000 wineries.”

It goes against common sense to think that a winery can operate successfully in West Virginia. Deal said he has customers returning again and again, telling him that people enjoy the product they produce.

“We‘re not just producing some sort of a catchy gift

anymore. We’re producing a good, classic product that people enjoy,” Deal said.

Forks of Cheat Winery offers free distillery tours where you can explore and see the production of wines. They are open seven days a week, and Deal said coming out to visit can be a grea time.

If the weather is nice, sit out on the deck and enjoy what Deal calls one the best views in the state.

“You can enjoy meat and cheeses, wine by the glass, wine by the bottle. We’re available for rentals and all sorts of things,” he said. “We pretty much cover everything here.”

The winery is open Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. with different hours on the weekend.

For more information, visit www.wvwines.com.

For students wanting to learn more about wine and its many different flavors, West Virginia University offers the “Vines to Wine” course during the fall semester.

Professor David Davis teaches the course in which students study how to taste wines and figure out which kind they prefer.

“We meet one night a week, Tuesday nights, and we talk in the beginning about various topics and the history of wine, going through the Ro-

man Empire and the Greeks, the Egyptians, and then of course, we taste wine each night,” Davis said.

Students get to experience a variety of different wines and keep track of each one to refer back to later in life.

The course is structured so the first six weeks are white wines, then it moves into reds and ends with dessert and sparkling wine.

“So, they taste anywhere from six to about twelve. They keep a wine journal about everything they drink,” Davis said.

The goal of this course is for students to use their senses to decide what kind they like.

“The main thing we teach in the course is sensory evaluation,” Davis said. “They smell the wine first, and we ask them, ‘What do you smell?’

Then they taste the wine, and we talk about what they taste.

We test them to figure out what they like and what they don’t like.”

Unfortunately, the class is already full for the fall 2014 semester, but students who are interested in this class should check when registration begins again to try and get in.

Students must be 21 years of age to register and take the class.

“The featured flight consists of three wines from a different region of the world, varietal or vintage,” she said.

“Wine flights give our guest the opportunity to learn about wine and to taste wines without the commitment of purchasing a bottle of wine.”

Lewis also said these wine flights have done well since they first began.

“We have been doing Thursday night flights every Thursday for six months now,” Lewis said. “Although some flights are more popular than others, they have all been well received.”

Car show to benefit local veterans by mitchell glazier A&E writer @dailyAthenaeum

The 4th Annual 304 Kustomz Car Show is set to be held on the green of 500 Mylan Park on Sunday.

The show, featuring a variety of cars, both foreign and domestic, will benefit local veterans and their return to the United States.

Participants in the Kustomz Car Show will display various aspects of their vehicles during the show, which will be organized by make, model, model year and classification.

After paying a $10 entrance fee, visitors will be guided by officials through various displays outlining the history of the car show.

Participants will have access to presentations depicting the evolution of the vehicle, from Ford’s Model-T to modern-day automotive marvels.

For the event’s fourth anniversary year, 304 Kustomz anticipates the largest crowd yet. With a near perfect weather report for the day, Bill Reynolds, event planner for Mylan Park, believes the event will be the most successful car show the park has hosted.

“I’ve seen some of the vehicles that will be at the show, and they will be crowd-pleasers,” Reynolds

said.

A portion of the proceeds will benefit Operation Welcome Home, an organization benefiting veterans and their families. Funds generated for Operation Welcome Home will be used in reuniting Morgantownarea families with their loved ones serving in wars and operations overseas.

Military homecomings, which can result in crippling fees, are made possible for selected families through Operation Welcome Home.

“Having my husband home for Christmas meant the world to me,” said Christine Glancy, a Pittsburgh-area nurse.

Glancy is expecting her first child with her husband, Gary, who is participating in covert Army operations in the Middle East.

“Donations by 304 Kustomz from their show (to Operation Welcome Home) is an incredible kindness,” Glancy said.

Attendees of the event will be granted access to “The Winner’s Circle,” a diverse group of highly exclusive luxury cars that vary in make from the early 1940s to state-of-the-art models.

“I go every year with my family,” said Margaret Stickley. “I have five boys at home, and it’s a great

opportunity to get them out of the house.

“For just ten dollars, most of which will be donated to Operation Welcome Home, visitors will be helping military families while still having a great afternoon.”

In addition to the festivities, an array of refreshments will be provided for visitors. 304 Kustomz advises all who plan to attend to wear plenty of sunscreen, as record-breaking temperatures are expected.

“It will probably be a scorcher, but it will be a good, ‘ole time,” said Andrew Orr, facilities manager and planner for the event.

“If you like good food, fun and awesome engines, this car show is for you,” he said.

If rare engines and collector’s edition models, both old and new, spark your interest and get your engines revving, clear your afternoon on June 1st for the 4th Annual Kustomz Car Show.

The show will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

OPINION Summer internships now required LiveSafe aims to be a success 4

Thursday May 29, 2014

West Virginia University has joined numerous other institutions around the country by adopting the LiveSafe mobile application in an effort to promote safety for our students living on campus and in the greater Morgantown area.

The app aims to provide a direct and instant connection between WVU Police and witnesses of a crime and general safety concern.

Thankfully, our city has not yet been the victim of a mass shooting or other large scale threat. But as the frequency of these events rise each year, the implementation of this app couldn’t have come at a better time.

On Jan. 7, the FBI published a study of active shooter data collected from 2000-12 which showed a clear rising trend of active shootings, and with it a rise in the average annual death count.

Of all the cases studied, a surprising 29 percent of these attacks happen at schools.

The authorities’ response time (averaged at 3 minutes) can mean the difference between the loss of one or the loss of many.

It would be safe to assume increasing the communication between authorities and the public can only help save

lives.

This groundbreaking app allows students to contact 911 and the WVU Police in the case of an emergency like a mass shooting or bomb threat.

For non-emergency situations, users have a menu under the “Report Tips” icon to report any other type of safety concern ranging from accidents to vandalism.

With the submitted tip detailing what happened, users can choose to attach an audio, picture or video file.

This is particularly exciting because of its boundless potential benefits of identifying criminals. Another feature allows users to send a “check in” with their contacts to show where they are and if they are safe.

So the app is great. Chris Nyden and Jacob Evans hit the nail on the head in choosing to make this app their priority for the 2013-14 school year.

The program has a solid team of professionals that include advisors from the US Secret Service, FBI, local police veterans and even Kristina Anderson, a survivor from the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting. If it feels like we’re in good hands, it’s because we are.

The system is solid and is working at other institutions. But will it work at WVU? Mountaineers are a special kind of people. While armed robberies might not be an everyday occurance, drug and alcohol abuse, sexual assault, vandalism and burning couches are.

If Mountaineers invest the energy and time required to establish this app’s credibility in Morgantown, LiveSafe can change our campus.

Regardless of our majors, we’re all looking for one thing come summertime: internships.

Those magical strokes of luck we stumble across is something we college kids all have in common. They’re like precious gold. Maybe your degree requires one or maybe you’re just trying to get the one up on your peers. Nonetheless, we’re mercilessly fighting for those grown-up jobs that we probably aren’t even ready for yet. Nobody has seen the Hunger Games quite like this.

Today, getting employed is based on much more specialized information than ever before. With complex resumes, years of experience and extra fluff that makes you look more qualified than others, getting an internship or full-time job (when the time comes) has never been harder.

In order to even have a shot at some of the big ones, you have to talk yourself up and have the right training to support your claims.

In a world where before “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know” was a very real dictum, today it couldn’t be more misleading. We are turning over a new leaf into the age of “it’s what you know and who you know.” Internships present opportune contexts to make these connections in the industries and get firsthand familiarity with what the business is actually like.

If the opportunity pres-

ents itself, chances are you’re going to want to grab that gig before somebody else does. There are a lot of really sucky internship positions out there; there’s no denying it. You will probably get handed busy work, hate your life and regret ever accepting the offer in the first place.

To top it all off, you might not be getting paid a cent.

So why are we allowing ourselves the misery of suffering through a probably nonrelatable waste of time just to say we did it on a piece of paper?

Because we have to, that’s why. Without any internship-type experience, it is becoming increasingly impossible to find a job.

The National Association of Colleges and Employers said that “forty percent of Class of 2013 graduates who took internships were hired for full-time employment by the organization at which they interned, according to preliminary results of NACE’s 2014 Internship & Co-op Survey.” The statistics speak leaps and bounds to the importance of persisting through an internship and the numbers are only growing.

Frodo, you most definitely need low-key experience before you can get some real experience.

However, if you come across a good one, like a really good one, your duties won’t include running to grab coffee or refilling the printer paper. You’ll get a high from doing work you want to see yourself doing for the rest of your life.

You’ll look forward to going to work more than usual. No matter the business sector

you choose to pursue, if you love it, there is so much to gain from being exposed to it as soon as possible.

There are so many perks to having an internship over the summer, specifically. If you’re in a big city, you can take some time to explore the place while getting comfortable working in a corporate setting. If you choose to work out in rural America, you can enjoy a country summertime filled with sunsets and crossroads to anywhere. Some of you might land internships abroad and get the opportunity to immerse yourself in another culture completely.

As an intern, your tasks will likely be enough to teach you what you need to know while still allowing you the ability to enjoy your summer. It will endorse a need for adulthood but can make you feel young at the same time by placing you at the bottom of the professional totem pole.

While at times it may seem like the tasks you work on are tedious or the amount of time you spend working on projects go unnoticed, the takeaways from having an internship can be immeasurable. Coming from a girl who just finished her first week on the job, I could not be more excited to spend my summer in the city of Chicago.

The best piece of advice I’ve received so far would be that you can’t be afraid to get your hands dirty. Do everything you can to make a name for yourself, get involved with all aspects of the company (not just one) and work as hard as you possibly can.

Society blames mental illness for Rodgers killing six, media plays larger role jake jarvis a&E EDITOR

“I always had the subconscious perception that the coolest kids were mean and aggressive by nature, which is quite true,” writes Elliot Rodgers.

Only days ago, the 22-year-old son of assistant director for the “Hunger Games,” rampaged through Santa Barbara, Calif., killing six innocent people and injuring 13 others.

All because he was a virgin. Alright, America, it’s time we had a talk.

If you’ve turned on the news in the last few days you’ve no doubt seen the story, but there’s something you might not have seen.

After any mass shooting the first thing to leave our lips is gun control, for or against.

From my experience there is no point discussing this because no matter what argument I provide, there is no way to sway someone’s mind on this hotly debated issue.

And this only delays the further exploration of this tragedy’s cause.

In this case, Rodgers is a Russian nesting doll of mental illness, male entitlement and Hollywood idealism. If you’re looking for a story about guns to intoxicate you with rage,

DA

THEDAONLINE.COM

go ahead and find another story. I think it’s time that America accepts, even if only a little bit, the responsibility of this incident and others like it.

What you might not have seen highlighted in the media is the extensive 140 page manifesto that Rodgers sent to his loved ones minutes before the “Day of Retribution” began.

In preparation for this column I’ve read the entire thing and here’s what I’ve gleamed from it.

For starters, Rodgers does a great job of painting himself as the downtrodden protagonist.

He describes his “magnificent story” as something that did not have to happen. Rodgers says his hands were forced because women refuse to submit to him sexually and because other men (of course, those less worthy) are instead the recipients.

Rodgers suggests that women don’t show him attention because he is too good for them, too much of a gentleman.

He writes very plainly, “They flock to the alpha male.”

Rodgers further calls the women who rejected him “beasts,” asserting their uncontrollable carnal desire for sex. He sees this as disgusting and plans to rid the world of this “sickness.”

Ann Hornaday, in a very poignant article for Wash-

ington Post, cited Hollywood’s male dominated, vigilante obsessed and wish-fulfillment culture as a guilty party. Her main evidence for this is “Neighbors,” the recent release starring Zac Efron and Seth Rogen.

“Indeed, as important as it is to understand Rodger’s actions within the context of the mental illness he clearly suffered, it’s just as clear that his delusions were inflated, if not created, by the entertainment industry he grew up in,” Hornaday writes.

When a story like this breaks, the first thing we ask is, “What happened?

What made him snap?”

No, “Neighbors” isn’t the reason for his snapping. But the stories of this film and others can’t be ignored.

How can new generations draw the line between fantasy and what’s real in a world where virtual reality is seen as the better reality? Where we being constantly “pluggedin” is normal? Where teenagers weigh their importance and self-worth in direct relation to their follower count?

How do we draw the line in our country where male entitlement and blatant misogyny are the butt of jokes?

If you still doubt the Hollywood-influenced Rodgers, watch the YouTube video he posted before the

attack. Notice the maniacal villain laughter? The typical “I’ll show them all attitude?” I smell the silver screen.

So yes, it’s time we take a smidge of responsibility for perpetuating these seemingly harmless stories ideas of entertainment.

Attention men: every time you joke about being friend zoned, when you catcall girls walking down High street, when you say your girlfriend “owes you one,” you are perpetuating a culture where women exist as a catalyst for masculinity.

And this culture is everywhere you look. Don’t believe me? Let’s compare two statements.

“I just wanna drag your lifeless body to the forest and fornicate with it but that’s because I’m in love with you.”

Any guess es who said that? A lunatic?

Well that’s up for debate. It was actually Tyler Okonma, aka Tyler the Creator.

He has over 2.16 million twitter followers, 1.12 million YouTube subscribers and was the winner of the 2011 MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist. He’s the perfect mainstream example of overt misogyny.

Pop quiz time: are these rap lyrics or the work of Rodgers?

“Women should not have the right to choose who to

Elliot Rodgers poses for a selife. mate and breed with. That decision should be made for them by rational men of intelligence.”

Five points for Gryffindor if you chose Rodgers.

Last Friday was not the world’s “Day of Retribution” that Rodgers dreamed of. But it can be the “Day of Accountability.”

Popular culture is what

www.nbcnews.com

we say it is. We have two choices: continue to entertain the idea that women owe men their freedom or hold the entertainment industry accountable when they step out of line. The latter frees and the former imprisons.

HOROSCOPE

BY JACQUELINE BIGAR BORN TODAY This year you come up with many different ideas for friends and professional associates. Others sometimes wonder where these intellectual gems come from, but they enjoy their usefulness regardless. If you are single, people find you to be a charming conversationalist. By midsummer, you’ll have many potential sweeties to choose from. Ask yourself what kind of relationship you want first. Do not minimize your need for companionship.

If you are attached, the two of you never seem to want for a topic of conversation. You might not always agree, but you respect your different ideas and processes. When you meet a fellow GEMINI, you might not see a similarity unless you take a step back.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHH You will be more expressive than you have been in a while. You could have a chance for a special new beginning because of your willingness to face facts. You’re determined to accomplish what you want. Others can’t help but be drawn toward you. Tonight: Strut your stuff.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHH You will put yourself on the line, if need be. You’ll feel as if you have a lot to offer, and you might want to let others know. Know that they likely have strong feelings as to what they want to do. Respond to an offer from a friend who cares a lot about you. Tonight: Let it happen.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH You’ll have so much going on that you can barely keep up with a situation. You might want to let others

know more of what is going on with you. Someone knows how to make your imagination work overtime. Be aware of your natural limits. Tonight: All smiles.

CANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HH Your intuition will guide you. You might need some time by yourself to do some intense thinking. A roommate or family member could lose his or her patience. A friend in the know will reveal much more of what is going on with this person. Tonight: Play it low-key.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH Zero in on what makes the most sense.

You might not be ready to declare your thoughts about a personal matter just yet, but you will make a considerable effort to initiate this discussion. Someone enjoys your company.

Tonight: Where your friends are.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHHH You might want to deal with a loved one directly. An element of the unexpected seems to run through an important decision. You know where and how to spend your money, but a key associate or loved one might have a different idea of what works.

Tonight: In the spotlight.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHH You can meet any demand that comes your way. Your creativity seems to wander from one area of life to another. The answers you seek are a high priority in your mind. You could find that someone else doesn’t see things the same way. Tonight: A must appearance.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HH Relate to a partner directly. You’ll have an important decision to make, but first you might prefer to have a

discussion on the topic. You will want to be sure of yourself when you finally decide to act. Your imagination could help your approach. Tonight: Enjoy a break.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You know how to bend for the well-being of the group. You have high energy and a sense of direction.

Friends play a significant role in your decision-making process. Indulge a loved one who plays a significant role in your life. Tonight: Be more of a pal to a key person.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH You could be quite involved with a friend who adds considerable happiness to your daily life. You might need to maintain a nice, even pace to accomplish what you must. Use your instincts with a message, and you will choose the right words.

Tonight: Let the good times roll.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You might want to be spontaneous. Use your sixth sense with an associate or a very playful friend. Explain your expectations as clearly as possible, and it will help others relax. Everyone has his or her strengths; use yours well.

Tonight: Act as if it were Friday!

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HH You’ll need to hone your juggling skills as you attempt to balance an intellectual discussion with an intense premonition and a sense of destiny. You might have difficulty integrating these different concepts, as you could feel a little off-kilter. Tonight: Head home.

Coldplay releases lackluster album ‘Ghost Stories,’ disappoints fans ashley denardo web editor @amdenardo

««««« Coldplay released their sixth studio album, “Ghost Stories,” a concept album that tells the story of a man going through a sudden, dramatic breakup and each emotional state he enters along the way until he finally accepts his situation.

Released on May 19, the album has already become No. 1 in the UK and is the fastest selling album this year.

The themes of the short nine tracks are opening yourself up to what love has to offer and accepting that it does not last forever.

The story was inspired by the real-life marital struggles between Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, and his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow.

One would think Coldplay’s usual impersonal and

ambiguous style would be left behind so that Martin might finally offer something raw and personal.

This may have been the group’s goal, but the album’s lyrics reflect a different story.

The lyrics still feel as ambivalent as their other work. This time it doesn’t have the anthemic background music to rescue them in the end.

Most of the songs have cliché, repetitive lyrics that are completely equivocal.

Instead of Martin offering any of himself up for inspection, listeners can project their own feelings onto almost meaningless words for an introspective experience.

It makes you want to shout because it’s right on the edge of some “real” feelings.

Why don’t you say what you mean instead of dancing around it for three minutes?

It’s as if the meaning of each song is only clear to Martin himself. You can hear what he wants to say in the emotional texture of his voice, but the words them-

selves lend nothing to the listener’s understanding of his emotions.

Because of this, the concept of this “concept album” is all but impossible to discern without prior knowledge.

“True Love” has to be the worst song on the album. It’s whiny and pathetic. The lyrics go, “Tell me you love me/ If you don’t then lie.”

It’s almost as bad as “A Sky Full of Stars.”

It may have been a good song if Avicii’s style hadn’t invaded the already plain sounding song. With its formulaic piano riff, it sounds like every other Avicii song.

Even when claiming to try and strip down the music, “Ghost Stories” seems overproduced and over-synthesized.

Simple message? Simple production.

It’s just that simple.

With little change in the progression of each song, the album doesn’t keep us on our toes, giving the lis-

“Ghost Stories” successmerit. It’s full of potential. fully maintains a trippy, dream-world ambience and a bittersweet mix of melancholy and hope.

In the song “Oceans,” Martin lets part of his guard down with his vocals. We can hear his pain and heartache in each vocal choice. It’s a breath of fresh air in a cloudy album.

“Midnight” is wellproduced and the lyrics almost lead somewhere.

In this song, the group experiments with auto-tune in a way that doesn’t de-

grade the rest of the artistic credit they have left.

The last track, “O”, is the best one on the album and, even standing alone, is great.

The lyrics move listeners to feel the naïve optimism I imagine Martin to have been feeling when he wrote them.

And the instrumental aspect is chilling.

Since most listeners are just looking for something palatable, this album is going to do fine for now - the UK charts seem to be happy with it, at least.

Ultimately, “Ghost Stories” will be one of the few forgettable moments in the musical history of Coldplay. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Little Texas to bring big sound to Schmitt’s by jake jarvis A&E editor @jakejarviswvu

Little Texas, a four-man country band from Nashville, is set to perform at Schmitt’s Saloon on Friday.

The performance will be a patchwork of material with a little from the past, the present and the future.

Little Texas’s current tour across the country celebrates the 25th anniversary of the original founding of the band.

Del Gray, Porter Howell, Dwayne O’Brien and Duane Propes complete the band and perform together as old friends.

Like many musical groups, artists have come and gone. Former members include Jeff Huskins, Tim Rushlow, Brady Seals and Steven Troy.

Little Texas started off rocky but ended up showing just how “big” their sound can be.

The band only released one album prior to being signed to Warner Bros. Without the support of a label, the men still managed to make a name for themselves.

The band’s website said without financial and logistical support from any music moguls, “it was not uncommon for the band to perform over 300 shows a year.”

Under the new label, Little Texas released “Big Time” in 1993. This was the commercial height for the band. The Recording Industry Association of America certified the album double platinum.

From this album, the lead single “My Love” went straight to No. 1 on the US Country chart and No. 83 on the Bilboard Hot 100 chart.

1995 was the last time the band saw the Top 10 of the US Country Chart with the single “Life Goes On.” Little Texas ultimately split in the late 90s to be later reuinted in 2007 for the release of “Missing Years.”

But, despite a lack of commercial success they’ve come to expect, Little Texas has stayed true to their fans.

On May 17, the band

performed at the “We Salute You” celebration at the Combat Center in California. This event was free to service members and their families. Joining Little Texas was Shuggah Pies and Brett Eldredge.

Propes, providing the bass and vocals for the band’s sound, took time to mention the group’s commitment to veterans and their families.

“When our friends in the military ask us to do something, we always comply,” he said. “We support our armed forces without question and will always do everything in our power to answer the call to give back just a small percentage of what they give to us.”

Having not released an album for seven years, it seems about time for the group to release new music.

“We’re in the middle of a new project, and we will be doing a few songs from that intermingled with the stuff we’re known for,” Propes said.

But where will the band take us in their musical expression? Will they try and reconnect with some of their rock-country roots that made them famous? Or will they continue with the easy sound of “Missing Years,” the band’s first single to make it on a chart from the latest album?

I hope the group gives us a ballad, but if YouTube videos of the current tour suggest anything, we better get ready for a thrill ride.

“We’ve been there (W.Va.) many, many times,” Propes said. “The folks there are always up for a good time, and we expect nothing less than having everyone on their feet and rocking with us.”

The show begins at 7 p.m. Friday. Tickets are $20 if purchased ahead of time at http://www.eventbrite. com/e/little-texas-tickets-11118940049.

The event is for those aged21 and over.

“We don’t slow down much during the show, so bring your party hat,” Propes said. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

End of season slide costs West Virginia chance at making NCAA Tournament regional

By Kevin Hooker Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

In an elimination game in the 2014 Big 12 Conference Baseball Championship, the No. 6 seed West Virginia University baseball team lost to the No. 7 seed Baylor Bears 9-4 last Friday night.

On Monday afternoon, the NCAA announced WVU’s 28-26 overall record would fall short of an at large bid in the NCAA Tournament, ending their season. WVU lost nine of its last 10 games and was part of the first four teams out of the postseason bracket.

The Mo u n t a i n e e r s haven’t clinched an NCAA Tournament berth since they last won the Big East Conference – a stretch that goes back to 1996.

With 28 wins, the Mountaineers finished five games worse than in 2013, where the team finished 33-26 under first-

year coach Randy Mazey.

Mazey is now 61-52 in his first two years since replacing Coach Greg VanZant, who coached the team for the previous 18 seasons.

The Mountaineers had two games rained out this season and had to sacrifice two games because of an over-scheduling conflict in 2013. Perhaps a 32-26 record would’ve impressed the NCAA enough to clinch a berth.

“We’re very deserving (of making the tournament),” Mazey said following the team’s elimination loss on Friday. “I sure hope this isn’t our last game because this would make for a pretty long summer with the way we’ve played today.

“I hope everybody looks at what we’ve done this season and not just what we’ve done here at this tournament,” he continued. “This was our 41st game away from our campus and that leads the nation in that category. All

in all, we’ve left it in the hands of the judges, and all we can do now is hope we get in.”

The Mountaineers rarely played in Morgantown this year because Hawley Field doesn’t meet the requirements for Big 12 baseball.

In October 2013, ground broke for a new $21 million field which includes 2,500 seats, hillside seating, club seating and a park that is open on a year-round basis for the enjoyment of the community. Construction will be completed in time for the 2015 season and ends the Mountaineers’ time with Hawley Field, a ballpark they’ve called home since 1971.

WVU will say goodbye to seniors Jacob Rice, Ryan McBroom, Michael Constantini, Ryan Tezak, Corey Walter and Pascal Paul.

McBroom’s .341 batting average was No. 3 in the Big 12. He also notched eight home runs and 49 runs batted in. Rice’s 16 stolen bases were tied for

Following the team’s 4-8 record in 2013, WVU Director of Athletics Oliver Luck stated his disappointment with the team in a lengthy statement, essentially putting the pressure on coach Dana Holgorsen to succeed this upcoming year.

WVU kicks off its season August 30 at 3:30 against the Alabama Crimson Tide on national television on ABC.

The Crimson Tide, like WVU last year, still aren’t sure who will start at quarterback this season. But, Alabama has been predicated on its defense through the years, which helps explain why Nick Saban’s squad has won three national championships in the last four seasons.

But, Holgorsen said he and his team team aren’t losing sleep.

“I can promise you this.

When our kids walk into the Georgia Dome, they will not be scared,” Holgorsen said last week to a crowd at the WVU Coaches Caravan. “We’re going to get in there and fight our

(tails) off.”

The game will take place in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome, home of the Atlantic Falcons and Georgia Bulldogs.

When practice officially kicks off on August 1, Holgorsen said his plan is to simply focus on the Mountaineers for three weeks.

Only 10 days before kickoff against the Crimson Tide, he said, will WVU focus on its first opponent.

This matchup was officially slated for 2014 back in 2012, a time when it looked like the Mountaineers had at least a shot of upsetting Alabama. But, since 2012, WVU has a combined record of 10-15 with no bowl

victories, compared to Alabama who won 24 of its last 27 games with a BCS Championship.

Saban, a native of West Virginia, said he’s excited to face his hometown team.

Alabama is 10-8-1 all-time against Big 12 teams but has never faced the Mountaineers. The Crimson Tide last beat a Big 12 team in the 2010 BCS National Championship against Texas.

“The Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game is an outstanding event, and we look forward to opening the 2014 season in Atlanta,” Saban said.

“The exposure for our football players and our program is tremendous, and it

is a great experience for our fans. This will be the sixth time we have played a nonconference game at a neutral site and the fourth time at Atlanta.”

WVU will also face Towson and Maryland in its non-conference schedule with kickoff Sept. 6 and Sept. 13, respectively. “(The game) is a great opportunity for our football program and will be an exciting event for our fans,” Holgorsen said. “Alabama is one of the top teams in college football history, and it will be a tough challenge for us.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

CONNOR MURRAY SPORTS EDITOR @CONNORKMURRAY

WVU still trending in right direction With a little more than two weeks left to go in the 2014 season, the West Virginia baseball team appeared to be in good shape to qualify for a regional in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1996.

It wasn’t meant to be.

A late season slide during which the Mountaineers lost nine of their last ten games cost them, as they were among the first four teams left out of the NCAA Tournament, according to the selection committee.

After the big splash Mazey and the Mountaineers made in their first season in the Big 12 in 2013, finishing No. 6 in the conference and failing to reach 30 wins in 2014 may appear to be a setback.

Considering just how much disarray this program was in before the arrival of Randy Mazey in 2013, the fact that West Virginia was on the cusp of making the NCAA Tournament in 2014 should be proof enough that this team is certainly headed in the right direction.

Sure, the Mountaineers may have shocked the college baseball world with how successful they were in a conference as tough as the Big 12 in 2013, but any team can have one surprise season every so often.

The Mountaine ers proved they belonged in 2014. This team weathered one of the toughest schedules in the conference, and perhaps the nation, and still managed to be more than competitive.

The trio of Bobby Boyd, Billy Fleming and Ryan McBroom finished atop the Big 12 in batting average, leading a lineup that finished No. 2 in the conference batting with a .287 average.

In a league with some of the best pitching talent in the nation, the Mountaineers held their own and more.

Despite the uncertainty of who will be returning to campus next season after the MLB draft, West Virginia appears to have the pieces in place to remain one of the top offenses in the Big 12 for seasons to come.

Left-hander Harrison Musgrave came into the season as the ace of the pitching staff and continued his domination of the Big 12’s hitters, ranking No. 2 in the conference with 87 strikeouts in 2014.

If he decides to come back for his senior season in 2015, Musgrave will more than likely continue to build on his reputation as one of the best pitching talents in the conference and make West Virginia’s staff all the more difficult to deal with.

After their surprise run during the 2013 season, Mazey and his coaching staff had nothing but positives to dwell on during the offseason leading up to 2014. They won’t have that luxury this summer.

The sting of just missing the boat for the NCAA Tournament may be just what this team needs to take the next step of its development in 2015.

There is plenty of talent on this roster for West Virginia to become a mainstay at the top of the Big 12 standings in the future.

If Mazey and his staff can find a way to remedy the problems that led to the team’s nosedive in the latter stages of the 2014 season, the Mountaineers could certainly be on the other side of the bubble in the 2015 NCAA Tournament. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

TRACK

West Virginia sends five to compete in NCAAs

By Kevin Hooker Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

Five members and four seniors of the West Virginia University outdoor track and field team qualified for the 2014 NCAA East Preliminary Round, which will be held May 29-31 in Jacksonville, Fla., the NCAA announced Thursday.

“As we leave town for the NCAA Championships, we feel confident that we are ready for the challenges that lie ahead,” said head

coach Sean Cleary.

“This group has done e ver ything in their power to prepare for this moment.”

Seniors Sarah Martinelli, Stormy Nesbit, Chene Townsend and Allison Lasnicki, as well as sophomore Marsielle McBeam, all qualified for the East Region after ranking in the top-48 in their respective events this season.

Martinelli is No. 18 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase after setting a personal best time of 10:17.38

at the Stanford Invitational on April 4.

Nesbit ranks No. 14 in the triple jump and finished third in the Big 12 Outdoor Championship with a leap of 13.07 meters, which tied her best distance.

Nesbit earned three Big12 Weekly honors during the 2013 indoor season.

Townsend is No. 25 in the 100-meter hurdles after setting a personal best mark of 13.41 last weekend.

Lasnicki finished second in the 10,000 meter run

at the conference championship and sits at No. 23. She posted a personal best time of 34:11.20 at the Penn Relays last month.

Like the rest of fellow Mountaineers, McBeam posted a personal best leap in the high jump last weekend at the championships.

Her jump 1.76 meters sits her at No. 31 in the region.

The top 12 of 48 in each event will qualify for a national championship spot.

The top-2 individuals in both the East and West region will advance to

the 2014 NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships June 11-14 in Eugene, Ore. If the four seniors fail to qualify for the national championships, it will end a certainly decorated career in both the track and field and cross country course.

In 2012, Nesbit moved into second place on the WVU all-time list with a 12.26 meter distance in the triple jump, placing her ahead of Tessie Palmer’s 12.20 meter mark set

back in 1989. This past fall, Martinelli was named Big 12 Conference Scholar Athlete of the Year in Cross Country.

“I feel very confident that should they go out and perform at the level that we know they can compete at, that they will return home pleased with the outcome,” Cleary said.

“This is a world class track and field meet. Our kids know this and are embracing the opportunity.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu

MEN’S GOLF

Covich named coach of rejuvenated WVU golf program

By Connor Murray Sports Editor @ConnorKMurray

Former Mississippi State assistant and Meridian College head coach Sean Covich has been named head coach of West Virginia’s newly-rejuvenated varsity men’s golf team.

Covich will work to revive a program that has been dormant since 1982 before the Mountaineers have their first competition

in July 2015.

“I am pleased to announce that Sean Covich will lead our men’s golf program as we reintroduce it as a varsity sport at West Virginia University,” said Athletic Director Oliver Luck. “Sean has experienced tremendous success in his eight years as a golf coach. He is a relentless recruiter who has been known to find diamonds in the rough out on the recruiting trails.”

During his eight year career as an assistant and head coach, Covich has compiled an overall record of 880-341-12 and guided several golfers at both Meridian Community College and Mississippi State to considerable individual success.

Although he was most recently an assistant at Mississippi State, Covich comes to Morgantown with five years of head coaching experience under his belt.

While coaching at Meridian Community College, Covich successfully led his team to 18 tournament championships and coached seven All-Americans.

Covich said the coaches he worked with previously, as well as the players he has coached, played a role in him getting the opportunity to be the head coach for WVU. “I want to thank Oliver Luck and his staff for giv-

ing me this opportunity.

In addition, I would like to thank coach Clay Homan (Mississippi State) and all the players I have coached during my career for giving me this chance,” Covich said. “I am honored to serve WVU as the next head men’s golf coach, and I look forward to reestablishing a program of which the entire state can be proud of.”

Playing in the Big 12 conference with traditional golf powerhouses

such as Oklahoma State, Texas and Oklahoma, Covich will have plenty of challenges in restoring the Mountaineer golf program to the level of success it once knew.

“This is an exciting time for West Virginia University as the men’s golf program is restored,” Covich said.

“WVU has a proud tradition in athletics and I am honored to be a Mountaineer.” connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

Bartolo Colon pitches Mets past Pirates 5-0 in New York

AP

Mets players celebrate a win over the Pirates Wednesday.

NEW YORK (AP) — Bartolo Colon carried a threehitter into the eighth inning, and the New York Mets got home runs from David Wright and Lucas Duda in a 5-0 victory over the sloppy Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday.

Colon (4-5) struck out a season-high nine in his second consecutive win, and Wright added an RBI single during an eventful afternoon. He also stole a base, made two throwing errors and robbed Andrew McCutchen of extra bases with a diving play at third.

New York salvaged the final two games of a 4-5 homestand after firing batting coach Dave Hudgens and replacing him with minor league hitting coordinator Lamar Johnson.

The Mets improved to 1317 at Citi Field, winning the series against Pittsburgh for their first back-to-back victories at home since a threegame streak from April 2325. They open a season-high 11-game trip Thursday night with a five-game series in Philadelphia and play 25 of their next 33 on the road until July 4.

Pitching four days after his 41st birthday, Colon reached 2,000 strikeouts when he caught ex-Met Ike Davis looking in the sixth.

The burly right-hander saved the souvenir, tossing

the ball to injured Mets ace Matt Harvey in the dugout.

Colon’s previous turn Friday was washed out by rain after he yielded two runs in four innings against Arizona. In his last outing that counted, he went eight innings to beat Washington 5-2 on May 17.

Colon was pulled this time after 121 pitches, his most in a decade, and Jeurys Familia got Davis to ground into an inning-ending double play with two on in the eighth.

Familia finished the sixhitter for his second major league save and first this season.

Charlie Morton (1-7) was chased in the sixth and Pittsburgh fell to 7-16 away from home with another poor day at the plate.

Duda drew a leadoff walk in the second and scored after second-string catcher Chris Stewart was unable to handle a pair of wild pitches

by Morton.

Pittsburgh starter Edinson Volquez and reliever Jeanmar Gomez combined for four wild pitches with Russell Martin behind the plate in Tuesday night’s 4-2 loss.

Wright had an RBI single in the third after an embarrassing defensive sequence for Pittsburgh handed Daniel Murphy a Little League triple.

AP

Bartolo Colon delivers a pitch Wednesday.

Murphy hit a grounder to third, and Pedro Alvarez threw high to first for an error. Murphy took off for second but the ball caromed hard off the dugout fence to second baseman Neil Walker. He threw to second in time to get Murphy, but shortstop Jordy Mercer dropped the ball for another error that let Murphy scamper to third.

Pittsburgh appealed that Murphy never touched sec-

ond base, but he was called safe.

Wright led off the sixth with his fourth home run.

The inning before, a frustrated Wright was left standing at the plate when Juan Lagares made an ill-advised attempt to steal third with two outs. Lagares tried to catch the Pirates off guard and took off while Morton still had the ball, but was thrown out easily by the pitcher.

Duda added a long, tworun shot off Bryan Morris in the eighth to make it 5-0.

NOTES: Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said reliever Jason Grilli is very close to regaining the closer job. ... Gerrit Cole (4-3) pitches for the Pirates when they begin a four-game series Thursday night at Dodger Stadium.

Dan Haren (5-3) goes for Los Angeles. ... Mets C Travis d’Arnaud (concussion)

was on his way back from a rehab stint with Double-A Binghamton and is expected to be activated Thursday. ... Familia singled in the eighth for his first major league hit. ... RHP Zack Wheeler (1-5) starts Thursday night against Philadelphia rookie David Buchanan (1-0). ... Thousands of school children filled the third-base stands Wednesday morning for Dinosaur Education Day at Citi Field.

Lifting World Cup trophy can boost country’s economy

AP

Members of the Spanish national team celebrate winning the World Cup in 2012.

LONDON (AP) — Winning the soccer World Cup can bring instant rewards to that country’s stock market investors. But they better be quick as the postvictory rally doesn’t last long.

That’s the conclusion of investment bank Goldman Sachs, which published a wide-ranging report on the World Cup and its economic impact.

Goldman Sachs analysts found “a clear pattern of outperformance by the winning team in the weeks after the World Cup final.”

On average, the victori-

ous country’s stocks outperform the global market by 3.5 percent in the first month, the investment bank’s strategy team said.

The conclusions are based on statistics since 1974, when West Germany beat the Netherlands, and appear to be fairly consistent over time. Only Brazil failed to outperform after its win in 2002, largely because the football-mad nation was consumed by recession and a currency crisis.

“In the absence of a severe economic crisis, the winner tends to enjoy the

spoils of success in the markets for a brief period at least,” Peter Oppenheimer, Goldman Sachs’ chief global equity strategist, said in the report published late Tuesday.

A notable exception was Spain, whose stock market rallied 5.7 percent in the month after the national team won in 2010 its first World Cup – even though the country, along with many of its peers in Europe, was in the midst of an economic and financial crisis.

Investors should be careful, however, not to

think that such euphoria will yield longer-lasting gains.

“Sentiment can only take you so far, in markets at least – the winning nation doesn’t tend to hold on to its gains and, on average, sees its stock market underperform by around 4 percent over the year following the final,” Oppenheimer said. “The message seems to be: enjoy the gains while they last.”

For the country that loses the final, Goldman Sachs found a more modest outperformance of 2 percent in the first month

as the runners-up “seem to experience a post-final bout of the blues.”

However, G oldman Sachs found that figure is heavily skewed by the fact that Argentina enjoyed a 33 percent outperformance in the month after it lost the 1990 World Cup final to Germany as it was recovering from a prior stock market collapse and currency devaluation. Aside from this, Goldman Sachs found that seven of the nine losing finalists underperformed by 1.4 percent.

“Interestingly, the poor performance doesn’t stop

there,” said Oppenheimer.

“Most of the World Cup runners-up have seen their stock markets continue to underperform, with an average relative fall of 5.6 percent over the first three months.

Oppenheimer said the “ultimate goal” is to win the trophy and host the tournament as there’s a 2.7 percent outperformance on that front in the first month after the event.

That’s certainly the goal for Brazil, this year’s host and one of the favorites.

The 32-country World Cup kicks off on June 12.

Westbrook drops 40 points as Thunder draw even

AP

Russell Westbrook is greeted by teammates after his 40-point performance Tuesday.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Russell Westbrook is picking up where Kevin Durant left off.

Durant hasn’t shown the same consistent excellence in the postseason that earned the Thunder star the MVP award after the NBA regular season. Westbrook has picked up the slack, making a case for being Oklahoma City’s best player in the postseason.

Westbrook had 40 points, 10 assists and five steals in Oklahoma City’s 105-92 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night that tied the series at two games apiece.

The guard has been doing similar damage throughout the playoffs, averaging 26.6 points, 8.1 assists and 7.5 rebounds in 17 postseason games. In one stretch, he had three triple-doubles in

five games.

“Just his focus on every possession on the defensive end and his poise on the offensive end – I think that’s what’s fun to watch,” Durant said. “People outside of our team don’t really look at that type of stuff, but that’s something we can definitely build on as a group, is watching him wreak havoc on the defensive end and offensively, playing with such patience.”

Tuesday’s performance matched the second-highest playoff point total of Westbrook’s career, falling short of the 43 he scored in the 2012 NBA Finals.

“Coach told us he needed maximum effort from us tonight, and it starts with me at point guard,” Westbrook said. “My job is to play both sides of the ball. If you want to win a championship, those are things you have to

do.”

At times, Westbrook has been a maddening player for Thunder fans to watch. He’s a dynamic player whose supreme confidence sometimes leads to ill-advised shots and a tendency to hold the ball at the expense of offensive flow.

In Tuesday’s game, he did almost everything right.

He shot 50 percent from the field and took just five 3-pointers. He made 14 of 14 free throws.

“Sometimes he’s going to go off,” Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said. “He’s capable of doing that. If he makes a lot of jumpers, it gets really tough.”

In the midst of posting a monster game, Westbrook still managed to help Durant score 31 points. It was Durant’s highest-scoring game of the series after the NBA’s

leading scorer was held to a 22.7-point average in the first three games.

Serge Ibaka added nine points and eight rebounds for the Thunder, who have turned around the series since he returned from an injury that was expected to keep him out for the rest of the postseason.

“We just play well with Serge,” Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. “We can do things with Serge in the lineup that we can’t do with other guys.”

Boris Diaw had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Tony Parker added 14 points for the Spurs, who also blew a 2-0 lead against the Thunder in this round two years ago.

San Antonio will host Game 5 on Thursday and won’t be worried about the past.

“I think we shouldn’t think like that,” Parker said.

“Each game is different.

Each series. Each year. We worked hard all year to have home-court advantage, and now, it’s our job to protect home court.”

Oklahoma City dominated for the second consecutive game after getting blown out in the first two.

The Thunder committed just seven turnovers and shot 49 percent from the field.

The Spurs scored the first eight points of the game, but things went downhill from there. A steal and dunk by Westbrook gave the Thunder a 42-32 lead with just under five minutes left in the first half. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Durant pushed Oklahoma City’s lead to 50-36.

The Thunder led 58-43 at halftime. Durant scored 22 points and Westbrook added 17 points, eight assists and four steals before the break.

Parker shot 6 of 9 in the first half, but the rest of the Spurs made just 11 of 32 before the break.

A lob from Reggie Jackson to Durant for a two-handed slam bumped Oklahoma City’s lead to 60-43. A steal and jam by Ibaka made it 6649, and a dunk by Westbrook made it 76-49.

The Spurs closed the quarter on an 18-7 run and cut their deficit to 83-67. San Antonio’s Matt Bonner made a 3-pointer with 3:31 remaining in the game to trim Oklahoma City’s edge to 12, but the Thunder maintained control.

“We were just not focused coming out,” Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard said. “We’re not playing consistently throughout the whole game.

We’re playing in spurts or increments. We’ve just got to play the whole game.”
