Gee addresses University community, notes upcoming changes, hopes for future by jacob bojesson editor-in-chief @jbojesson

West Virginia University President E. Gordon Gee delivered his first State of the University address Monday, focusing on a positive outlook for the University.

Gee touched on a number of topics during his 30 minute speech, including student debt, expanding the University and extending the already strong bond between the University and the state.

Gee also broke the news of the new Center for Big Ideas, which will include several different areas and subjects within the University including energy, health care, politics and policy.

“In order for us to change the arc of our aspirations, we have to really focus on big items and big items that will make a difference. Both on the University campus but equally importantly off the campus,” Gee said in an interview after his address.

have d i s cussed the project for some time, and ideas will be implemented immediately, according to Gee. “Governor Caperton and I will be meeting on Thursday and we have been meeting off and on for some time,” Gee said after his address. “We have already been talking about two of the major projects that I talked about. Our Energy Center and our Public Policy Center.”

After ending his tenure at Ohio State University last year, Gee’s future was very much up in the air before he jumped at the opportunity at coming back to WVU when former President Jim Clements accepted the presidential position at Clemson University.

West Virginia’s economy continues to improve by rachel mcbride correspondent @dailyathenaeum

Significant improvements in West Virginia’s economy have been made, and positive expectations are continuing regarding the economy’s growth.

According to John Deskins, an assistant professor at West Virginia University, the state had an unusual year last year.

Although the state lost

26,000 jobs, the state’s output grew more than 5 percent. This is three times the nationwide rate of growth. Output growth is the market value of everything produced within the state.

All members are a part of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research at WVU. “It was most definitely a team effort,” Deskins said.

The bureau has conducted and provided research on the economy

since the 1940s. Further research is planned to continue in the future and all information includes indepth data concerning the economy and its effects on the state.

“If you have an inherent interest in the social structure around you, then economics is really applicable,” Deskins said.

The bureau’s most recent research concerning West Virginia’s economy was conducted using the Eco-

nomic Forecasting Model.

The model shows how different variables of the economy work and evolve with one another.

Based on these findings, West Virginia is expected to have a job growth of 1 percent annually. Job losses are expected to end according to the bureau’s findings.

Many factors determine how well the state’s economy is. Everything from the capitalization of coal and natural gas to consumer

confidence plays a role in how well the economy’s activity is.

Deskins said it is hoped that the general public as well as administrators within the state will look at the bureau’s recent findings and truly understand how they affect everyone.

“Leaders in the state need to know where the economy is,” Deskins said.

All research findings have been published by the WVU College of Business

and Economics, the BBER, as well as Jose V. “Zito” Sartarelli, Milan Puskar dean.

All data is published in the book, “West Virginia Economic Outlook 2015.”

Feds: Illinois teen sought to join the Islamic State

AP

The parents of Mohammed Hamzah Khan, a 19-year-old U.S. citizen from Bolingbrook, Ill., leave the Dirksen federal building Monday, Oct. 6, in Chicago. Their son, Mohammed Hamzah Khan, was was arrested Saturday at O’Hare International Airport, from where he intended to travel to Turkey so that he could sneak into Syria to join the Islamic State group, according to criminal complaint released Monday.

CHICAGO (AP) — A 19-year-old American left a letter expressing disgust with Western society before trying to board an international flight in Chicago, the first step in his plan to sneak into Syria to join the Islamic State group, according to a federal criminal complaint released Monday.

Mohammed Hamzah Khan, who lived with his parents in the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, was arrested Saturday at O’Hare International Airport trying to board a plane on the first leg of connecting flights to Turkey, which borders Syria.

He is charged with attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist group, which carries a maximum 15-year prison sentence.

Investigators said Khan left a three-page, handwritten letter in his bedroom for his parents that expressed anger over his U.S. taxes being used to kill his “Muslim brothers and sisters,” an apparent reference to a bombing campaign against Islamic State militants.

“We are all witness that the western societies are getting more immoral day by day,” he wrote, then signed letter, “Your loving

son,” according to court documents.

Khan appeared in a federal court Monday in orange jail clothes, calmly telling a federal magistrate he understood the allegations. As marshals led him away in handcuffs, the slight, bearded young man turned to smile at his parents — his father putting his arm around Khan’s weeping mother.

About a dozen Americans are believed to be fighting in Syria, while more than 100 have either been arrested on their way to Syria or went and came back, FBI Director James Comey said recently with-

out offering details.

Khan sought to fly Austrian Airlines to Istanbul by way of Vienna when customs officers stopped him going through security at O’Hare’s international terminal. While FBI agents interviewed him there, investigators searched his home.

It’s unclear why authorities stopped Khan. Prosecutors, Khan’s federal defender attorney and his parents didn’t comment after Monday’s hearing.

In the letter found by FBI agents, Khan also pleaded that his parents not contact authorities. Other documents found during the search of his home included a notebook drawing of what appeared to be an armed fighter with an Islamic State flag and

the words “Come to Jihad” written in Arabic, according to the complaint.

Also found were drawings with arrows indicating where Khan might cross the border into Syria from Turkey.

Khan allegedly told FBI agents that an online source gave him the number of a person to contact when he got to Istanbul who would lead him to Islamic State members. When asked what he would do once in territory controlled by the Islamic State, Khan allegedly said he would “be involved in some type of public service, a police force, humanitarian work or a combat role,” according to the complaint.

Khan was ordered to remain jailed until at least a

detention hearing Thursday. Prosecutors indicated they would ask he stay behind bars pending trial.

At a two-story house believed to be his family’s home, no one would address reporters outside. But neighbor Steve Moore, 31, described Khan as a soft spoken and polite, saying the young man his family were always friendly and quick to say hello.

Another young man from the Chicago area also is accused of trying to join militants in Syria. Abdella Tounisi, of Aurora, was arrested last year at O’Hare when he was 18.

He has pleaded not guilty to seeking to provide material support to al-Qaidaaffiliated Jabhat al-Nusra in Syria

increase while growing the size from 5,000 to 5,500 new students. This process will have to be planned out and should not compromise infrastructure.

“From undergraduate to graduate students from West Virginia University Tech to Potomac State, from international to online we have the power to expand our reach,” Gee said. “And we will not choose between growing in size and growing in quality. We can and will do both.”

Despite making affordable education one of Gee’s main concerns, the cost of tuition has gone up for both in-state and out-of-state students during his time in office.

While acknowledging this, Gee said WVU students graduate with student debts much lower than the national and state average.

“Here at West Virginia University we have a reason to be proud. While nationally, students graduate with an average of almost $30,000 in debt, our stu-

dents are much better off.

The average federal student debt of our students receiving bachelor degrees is just over $23,000, about 20 percent less,” he said.

Gee ended his address by touching on the modest view West Virginians tend to have of themselves and their state.

He shared several examples of how the view of WVU differs depending on who you ask.

Faculty tend to look at the University as less academically strong compared to students, and students described WVU as a “fun school,” while faculty look at WVU as a “party school.”

“We must believe in ourselves and in our University’s future,” Gee said.

“Traveling around the state this summer I was reminded that West Virginians are modest. In my opinion, we are modest to a fault when it comes to talking about the quality of life we have in this state.”

Continued from page 1 must do so by working together as one West Virginia University.”

Gee wants new students to get a jump start during the summer before their freshman year to make the transition to the University smoother.

This is an issue the new WVU Provost Joyce McConnell has taken upon herself to make happen according to Gee. “Our students will start their journeys in freshmen learning communities. Communities that build learning around discipline from specific interests.”

Gee said he wants to enroll 40,000 students system-wide, an increase of about 7,000 students.

The expansion would include all of WVU’s branches around the state as well as the online campus.

In addition, Gee said the quality of the freshman class credentials should

W.Va. announces 16 new A look at West Virginia’s gay marriage ban home rule municipalities CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A state board has picked 16 cities to participate in West Virginia’s Home Rule Pilot Program.

The West Virginia Municipal Home Rule Board announced Monday which of 22 applicants will be in the program. The board released a list of accepted municipalities at a meeting Monday in Bridgeport. The program gives municipalities a larger say in how they govern by shifting power from the state to the local level.

The accepted municipalities are Bluefield, Buckhannon, Charles Town, Clarksburg, Dunbar, Fairmont, Martinsburg, Milton, Morgantown, Nitro, Parkersburg, Ranson, Shinnston, South Charleston, Vienna and Weirton.

The Legislature created the Municipal Home Rule Pilot program in 2007.

Bridgeport, Charleston, Huntington and Wheeling constituted the initial fiveyear pilot group.

Last year, state lawmakers called on the Municipal Home Rule Board to add 16 cities to the program. They also extended the program until July 1,

2019.

The board accepted applications and held regional meetings over the last three months to consider which entities to add. Meetings took place in Charleston, Beckley, Martinsburg, Bridgeport and Wheeling.

The municipalities that were denied were Bath — also called Berkeley Springs — Lewisburg, Moundsville, Princeton, Spencer and Oak Hill.

Board members said they did not consider Dunbar’s application because the city submitted its paperwork late. The deadline was June 1.

The cities that submitted applications range in population from Spencer, at about 2,300, to Parkersburg, with a population of more than 31,000.

Municipalities included a variety of requests in their application materials.

Weirton, for example, cited traffic issues, such as increasing flexibility with signs, lights and speed limits on state roads in the city without needing the state Department of Transportation’s approval, according to The Weirton Daily Times.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — A lawsuit challenging West Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage remained on hold Monday following the U.S. Supreme Court’s turning away of appeals from five other states seeking to prohibit gay and lesbian unions. No same-sex marriage licenses were being issued in the state as of Monday, and no officials suggested any would be soon.

THE LAW In 2000, the Legislature passed a law, at the request of then-Gov. Cecil Underwood, specifying that the only legal marriage in West Virginia is one between a man and a woman.

West Virginia does not recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states. The law says any “public act, record or judicial proceeding of any other state” regarding a same-sex marriage, “or a right or claim arising from such relationship, shall not be given effect by this state.”

Since 2000, several attempts have been made in the Legislature to put an amendment on the ballot adding the law’s definition of marriage to the

AP

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring speaks to reporters outside the Arlington County Courthouse in Arlington, Va., Oct. 6, following a Supreme Court decision rejecting gay marriage appeals from 5 states. The Supreme Court cleared the way Monday for an immediate expansion of same-sex marriage by unexpectedly and tersely turning away appeals from five states seeking to prohibit gay and lesbian unions.

West Virginia Constitution. None has succeeded.

LEGAL CHALLENGE On Sept. 16, U.S. District Judge Robert Chambers in Huntington said he would delay a ruling on the lawsuit. Chambers cited the “overlap of issues” presented in the

West Virginia case and a similar one in Virginia for putting the case on hold pending a decision by the Supreme Court.

The West Virginia lawsuit was filed in 2013 by Lambda Legal on behalf of three same-sex couples and the child of one

couple. The lawsuit says the Kanawha and Cabell county clerks denied the six adults marriage licenses under the state law and that it effectively denies them many benefits.

On Monday the samesex couples asked Chambers in a court filing to rule in their favor and deny the county clerks’ motions to dismiss the case.

Chambers’ office said no ruling on the motion was expected Monday.

WHAT’S NEXT West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, a Republican, said Monday that he was still figuring out how the state’s case will be affected.

“In light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s surprising decision to not review this matter, we are analyzing the implications for the West Virginia case,” Morrisey’s spokeswoman, Beth Gorczyca Ryan, said via email.

Kanawha County Clerk Vera McCormick said Monday her stance remains the same.

“Nothing’s changed yet in West Virginia,” McCormick said. “We continue to recognize the ban on same-sex marriage. If they rule, of course, we’ll be prepared.”

Study: Chesapeake cleanup would bring $22B boon WASHINGTON (AP) — The Chesapeake Bay region would reap an additional $22.5 billion a year from improved hurricane protection, crab and fish production and climate stability if the Obama administration’s contested plan to clean up the watershed proceeds, an environmental group says.

The assessment released Monday is based on a peerreviewed analysis of the economic benefits to the entities — six states and the District of Columbia — charged with reducing pollution into the nation’s largest estuary.

It comes as the Environmental Protection Agency is defending its cleanup plan in federal court against a challenge from farmers and 21 attorneys general who say the

pollution limits are unreasonably costly and an unjustified power grab by the federal government.

The study by Spencer Phillips, an economist at Key-Log Economics in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Beth McGee, a senior scientist at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, compared the benefits of the Chesapeake watershed in 2009, before the cleanup plan was being implemented by the states, with scenarios in which the bay is either fully restored under the plan or continues “business as usual” without additional pollution limits.

The analysis found that implementing the cleanup plan — which seeks to achieve 60 percent of pollution reductions by 2017, and the rest by 2025 — would yield $129.7 bil-

lion annually in benefits such as flood protection from hurricanes and other storms, improved scenery that leads to tourism, cleaner water supplies and healthy forests that reduce heat and help regulate climate.

That tally is $22.5 billion higher than the $107.2 billion of benefits the watershed provided in 2009.

Without additional pollution limits, the annual economic value would drop to $101.5 billion.

The report puts the total cost of implementing the cleanup with the 64,000-square-mile watershed at $5 billion to $6 billion annually.

“We all know that reducing pollution makes great sense for our health and our environment, and today we can confirm what

we have long thought: It makes good economic sense as well,” said William C. Baker, president of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation.

The American Farm Bureau Federation, which is challenging the EPA plan in court, said it had not yet seen the report so it couldn’t comment on the specifics. It supports cleanup generally, but “we think environmental benefits will accrue much faster if states lead the process because they are in a better position to balance the cost and benefits associated with the cleanup effort,” said spokesman Will Rodger.

At issue is the scope of EPA’s authority under the Clean Water Act. In 2009, President Barack Obama issued an executive order

for a bay restoration after decades of state inaction, prompting the EPA to seek agreements with the states that set standards to reduce nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment that drain from rivers into the bay.

Farm runoff such as animal waste and fertilizer had created “dead zones” in the bay where nothing lives. It has taken a toll on marine life such as the bay’s signature blue crab, according to the EPA. In their challenge, the American Farm Bureau Federation and the attorneys general point to economic consequences for industry groups and the potential for the EPA to improperly seek new restrictions. They say ratification of the Chesapeake plan will lead to similar

EPA efforts to reduce pollution from Midwest farms into the Mississippi River Basin.

Oral arguments in that federal lawsuit are expected later this year in Philadelphia.

Among the states that agreed to the Chesapeake plan, West Virginia is now opposing the EPAled cleanup. Pennsylvania and New York are staying silent in the litigation, while Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and the District of Columbia signed briefs in support.

A recent study by environmentalists found states in the Chesapeake watershed have made strides in reducing pollution but in many cases fell short in implementing practices that cut contaminants from agriculture.

Cameraman suffering from Ebola arrives in Nebraska

An ambulance transports Ashoka Mukpo, who contracted Ebola while working in Liberia, to the Nebraska Medical Center’s specialized isolation unit Monday, Oct. 6, in Omaha, Neb., where he will be treated for the deadly disease.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An American video journalist who contracted Ebola while working in Liberia stepped off a jet Monday under his own power on his way to a Nebraska hospital where he will be treated for the disease in a specialized containment unit.

At the bottom of the jet’s steps, Ashoka Mukpo was loaded onto a stretcher for the ambulance ride to the Nebraska Medical Center.

Mukpo, 33, was working as a freelance cameraman for NBC News when he became ill last week. He is the fifth American with Ebola to return to the U.S. for treatment during the latest outbreak, which the World Health Organization estimates has killed more than 3,400 people.

Mukpo’s parents said they tried to talk him out

of going to Liberia last month, but he told them he wanted to report on the severity of the epidemic.

“I told him I thought he was crazy,” said his father, Dr. Mitchell Levy.

“And I begged him from a mother’s perspective. I said please don’t go,” Diana Mukpo said. “But there was nothing to do. He was determined.”

Before returning to Liberia last month, Mukpo had lived there for two years while working as a researcher for the Sustainable Development Institute, a nonprofit focused on the concerns of workers in mining camps outside Monrovia. He only returned home to Providence, Rhode Island, in May. It’s not clear how Mukpo was infected, but Levy said it may have happened when he helped clean a ve-

hicle someone died in.

On Monday, his symptoms of fever and nausea still appeared mild, Levy said.

During his treatment, his parents will have to rely on a video chat system in his hospital room to communicate with him.

Meanwhile in Texas, a Liberian man with Ebola who started showing symptoms while visiting the U.S. remained in critical condition at a Dallas hospital.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry said he would create a state task force to ensure Texas develops a rapid-response plan if an outbreak develops in the state.

Perry also called on federal officials to implement screening procedures at all U.S. points of entry. He said screeners should take travelers’ temperature and conduct other assessments

to determine their overall health.

Doctors at the Nebraska isolation unit — the largest of four in the U.S. — will evaluate Mukpo before determining how to treat him. They said they will apply the lessons learned while treating American aid worker Rick Sacra, who was allowed to return home to Massachusetts after three weeks, on Sept. 25.

Sacra received an experimental drug called TKMEbola, as well as two blood transfusions from another American aid worker who recovered from Ebola at an Atlanta hospital. The transfusions are believed to help a patient fight off the virus because the survivor’s blood carries antibodies for the disease.

In Dallas, the Liberian man was listed in critical condition. Thomas Eric

Duncan has been hospitalized at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital since Sept. 28. He is receiving an experimental medication called brincidofovir.

Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Duncan’s health had “taken a turn for the worse,” but he declined to elaborate.

Officials are monitor-

ing the health of nearly 50 people who had varying degrees of contact with Duncan.

Dallas City Council member Jennifer Staubach Gates, who represents the neighborhood where Duncan fell ill, said some fearful volunteers are refusing to enter the area, which is forcing nonprofit organizations to recruit additional volunteers.

staff editorial

Gee tackles University feats, future goals Monday afternoon, President E. Gordon Gee delivered the West Virginia University State of the University Address. He discussed the University’s tribulations and achievements throughout his last 10 months as returning president, and discussed future goals of pursuit, as well.

About a month ago, the editorial board of The Daily Athenaeum was able to meet with President Gee to converse about these matters and ask any further questions we had regarding the University.

One of these great achievements discussed is the increase in attendance at WVU, with this year’s freshman class be-

ing one of the largest in history. Gee said that although he’s concerned the topographics of West Virginia may affect a prospective student’s decision to attend the University, he is pleased to see the increase in siblings and children of University alumni attending the school.

With this achievement in hand and his experience with already working to increase the student population, we believe Gee’s goal to raise attendance to 40,000 within the next four to five years is surely attainable.

As most are aware, in past years, this University has not held the best reputation, having more of a “party school” image than

“We want to be known as a place where people work hard and play hard.

one focused on academics.

Since Gee’s return, WVU’s academic reputation has greatly improved (also a positive consequence of the attendance increase), helping put WVU in the U.S. News Top 250 Best Colleges, ranking 168.

“There’s never been a

public university in this country that has been ranked in the U.S. News Top 20 … If you can get in the Top 250, then you’re pretty damn good. Period.

And you’re doing pretty good things,” Gee said.

“We want to be known as a place where peo-

”

ple work hard and play hard.”

As far as challenges go for the University, one of the most talked about by students are challenges with infrastructure, in particular student transportation and the area’s traffic.

Gee said a goal for the future is to help create a better synergy for students and traffic, and he has consulted some senior engineering students to help with issues regarding the crosswalk connecting the Mountainlair and Woodburn in order to make it more freely flowing for both pedestrians and drivers.

There have been myriad accomplishments with the return of Gee as president, and we at The DA have every bit of faith that Gee, in conjunction with the University, will continue to progress in every area, tackling the current challenges, as well as those to come. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Broadening horizons: Netflix’s battle royale with Hollywood taylor jobin columnist @dailyathenaeum

Netflix has declared war on Hollywood and your local movie theater. They teamed up with Hollywood’s own indie bad-boys, the Weinstein Company, and the legionnaires of IMAX to release “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend,” the long awaited sequel to the 2000 Academy Award winner, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”

Netflix already changed the game once with bingewatching. I rarely take the time out of my schedule to watch a network TV show anymore. Why wait a week when I can catch all the episodes on my own time once they are released to Netflix? And a plus, no

commercials.

Their foray into original programming was outstanding, as well. With two incredibly successful, albeit incredibly different, original shows (“House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black”) Netflix broke ground into the highminded TV viewer peripherals. Two seasons in for both shows has resulted in a combined 34 Emmy nominations and seven wins.

Now, Netflix is looking to broaden its horizon with feature length blockbusters, something Hollywood has had a monopoly over since its inception.

Tensions have always been high between Netflix and its competitors. Their original business model: A flat rate for as many movies as you want per month, plus access to obscure indie or foreign films not

seen at a Blockbuster, put video rental stores out of business.

Their creation of feature films is now threatening industry leaders’ bottom line. Theater giants like AMC, Cinemark and Regal have already announced plans to boycott the release of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legand.”

A not so small issue of the boycott is these aforementioned pall-bearers of the movie-going experience have IMAX theaters in them. IMAX is one of Netflix’s partners on the film.

I see a gaping conflict of interest here, but I’ll leave that for the lawyers to figure out.

Netflix is in the driver’s seat here. They recently launched in Europe and are trying to expand to Asia. While the movie the-

ater chains are only domestic, IMAX is an international company, so foreign viewers will have no trouble watching the film. Netflix’s other partner, the Weinstien brothers (Harvey and Bob) – owners and founders of TWC – have a combined 303 Oscar nominations and have won 75 Academy Awards since 1979. That is quite a team Netflix has assembled.

Netflix has its doubters though. Critics point out that sequels made more than a decade after the original are rarely good. Coupled with the fact that legendary director, Ang Lee, will not be returning and only one character from the acclaimed original will be, there is a chance this movie just isn’t any good. This is a belief that has Hollywood suits exhaling a premature sigh

of relief.

I, however, differ in opinion. I’m glad there is a whole new cast. An aged Chow Yun-Fat, no matter how good an actor he is, would look out of place in a new highflying martial arts epic. His character would bring unwanted sentimental value and would withdraw from the continued story.

The loss of Ang Lee hurts, but the new director is Woo-ping Yuen. Yuen is a legendary in his own right.

He is the martial arts choreographer for movies like the Matrix trilogy and Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2. He also directed the Hong Kong cult classic, “Drunken Master.”

This was the film that catapulted Jackie Chan into stardom.

As always, Netflix seems to be winning, while its competitors call their ac-

countants and lawyers wondering what the hell just happened.

However, the real winners here are the consumers. Anyone with a Netflix subscription, or if you borrowed and never stopped using your friend or relative’s password – which is basically everyone at this point – has now just been given access to a new way of viewing movies without paying a dime more.

Combine this with the looming possibility of decreased movie sales to the conglomerates, and you’ve got a choice recipe for cheap, easy entertainment. If there was ever a war America should get behind, this is the one. All you have to do to be victorious is go back to your computer and choose Netflix. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

The roller coaster career of former FSU quarterback Jameis Winston camden joiner the red and black university of georgia

Jameis Winston was a star at Hueytown High School playing both football and baseball. ESPN ranked him as the top quarterback in his recruiting class and Rivals declared him the top dual threat QB. He was even awarded the MVP of the famed Elite 11 quarterback camp. His senior year of high school, Winston committed to Florida State University.

In the summer after graduation, Jameis Winston was selected in the 15th round of 2012 MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers. The Rangers offered the chance for Jameis to still play football at FSU while working with their organization, but Winston eventually declined to sign to focus on football.

He still carried on playing baseball at FSU and was even named a preseason All American by Baseball America for 2014.

Baseball aside however, Winston is most known for his career on the football field.

His true freshman year he was red-shirted behind current Buffalo Bills’ quarterback EJ Manuel. In the season following his redshirt year, Winston won the starting quarterback job before the season even began.

Winston had an incredibly successful season on the field finishing with 4,057 passing yards and 40 passing touchdowns.

He was named a Heisman Trophy finalist along with AJ McCarron, Tre

Mason, Jordan Lynch, Andre Williams and Johnny Manziel.

Shortly before the trophy ceremony, the Florida State Attorney’s Office announced they were opening an investigation into a sexual assault complaint involving Jameis Winston. State attorney Willie Meggs announced nearly a month later that the investigation was closed and no charges would be filed against any one.

Much of the media were skeptical that perhaps Winston was receiving “superstar treatment.” A few months after the closing of the investigation, The New York Times reported irregularities in the case involving Winston.

Through the medical examination of the victim that accused Winston, injuries were seen consistent with sexual trauma. The NYT also went on to report that the Tallahassee police allegedly never obtained a DNA sample from Winston nor ever even interviewed him. Today the case remains closed and Winston has not been charged.

Controversy aside, Jameis Winston went on to win the Heisman Trophy becoming only the second freshman to do so after Johnny Manziel. Winston lead the Seminoles to an undefeated season and a shot in the National Championship Game vs the Auburn Tigers.

After suffering a large deficit in the first half, Winston led the Seminoles to a second half charge and threw the game winning touchdown to Kelvin Benjamin in the closing seconds. Florida State became the first non-SEC

school to win the National Championship since Texas in 2005.

Things were looking up again for Jameis following his post-season success, but in July he found himself back in the papers for the wrong reason. In April, Winston was caught shoplifting crab legs from a Publix. He was issued an adult civil citation and underwent 20 hours of community service.

Unfortunately, Jameis Winston continues to get into trouble. Last week, Winston was suspended from a very important game vs the Clemson Tigers. Reportedly, Win-

ston was standing atop a table in FSU’s Student Union shouting a sexual obscenity.

Aside from just affecting his college career, Winston is also making a serious impact in his future professional career.

Mel Kiper Jr. dropped Jameis to the end of the first round in his mock draft following the incident and many scouts have redrawn their interest in the quarterback.

Many fans and students alike have grown tired of Winston’s antics.

But fortunately for No. 5, all is not lost. The currently No. 1 ranked Semi-

noles are still undefeated and have another great shot at securing a spot in this year’s College Football Playoff. Winston will be back in action vs Wake Forest this weekend and if he avoids trouble will be able to play the rest of the season.

There’s always room for more quarterbacks in the NFL and while many teams might be skeptical of Winston, he remains one of the most talented QBs in college ball.

My suggestion for Winston is to return to Florida State for one more year following this sea-

son. It would give him a chance to prove he can go a year without getting into trouble and improve more on the field at the quarterback position. Today’s news cycle only lasts 24 hours and a quiet year of Winston could drastically improve his draft stock.

Even if he does decide to enter the draft after this season, he surely will be given a shot to eventually win a starting shot. Currently, things aren’t looking up for Jameis Winston, but if he keeps his head down and sticks to football it could all turn out just fine.

SHOOT FOR THE STARS

Nick Holstein/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

White Hall planetarium one of WVU’s best-kept secrets, hosts free shows Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @WestleyT93

Space: The final frontier and mankind’s last great chance at exploration.

The cosmos are as infinite as they are facinating. Looking up at the stars can be both a beautiful and mindblowing experience.

Unfortunately, Morgantown’s 24/7 nightlife creates a lot of light pollution.

This makes stargazing next to impossible within the city limits.

Do not fret, though. West Virginia University has a hidden gem. A virtually unknown site dedicated to both the knowledge and beauty of the universe.

In the basement of White Hall, right in the middle of the Downtown campus, is

WVU’s planetarium.

This special theatre has many features that separate it from traditional theatres.

When you walk into the room, the first thing you will notice is the shape. Unlike traditional movie theatres, WVU’s planetarium is round.

All of the chairs are arranged in a large semicircle, which draws the viewers’ attention to the screen.

Instead of being mounted on a wall, like normal movie screens, the planetarium’s screen is a large hollow halfsphere recessed into the ceiling.

The unique shape and design takes advantage of the planetarium’s projector, an expensive and complex machine that plays movies and displays the sky.

The result of all these design anomalies is a stunning recreation of the night sky.

An evening out at the planetarium is broken into

three parts.

First, after being seated, guests watch the Current Sky Show. The domed screen transforms into the current night sky, with each individual star and cosmic body clearly visibile for all to see.

During this time, Professor John Hopkins walks the audeience through what they are looking at. He points out constellations and other interesting bodies in our line of vision.

After this portion of the show, part two begins. Here the audience is treated to a movie that rotates on an approximately monthly basis.

Seeing the movie played on such a distinctive screen is a cool experience.

‘Arrow’ premieres 8 p.m. Wednesday on the CW network.

By Hannah Harless A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

CW’s “Arrow” returns to fight crime for a third season this week.

“Arrow,” which premiered in October 2012, is a show based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow, who does his best to keep Starling City free from the corruption of criminals. The character was created by Morton Weisinger and designed by George Papp, first appearing in More Fun Comics No. 73.

The show began with character Oliver Queen and his father sailing at sea, when suddenly their luxury boat sinks in the middle of a storm.

Queen’s father dies in the catastrophe, and Queen is stranded on a hostile island for five years. While on the island, he learns to fight and survive under some of the harshest circumstances.

Queen also uncovers his billionaire father’s corruption and crooked business dealings.

Once Queen returns to civilization, he leaves behind his billionaire playboy mentality and seeks to make things right. Queen camouflages himself with the hood of one of his mentors from the island, and equips himself with a bow and a set of arrows. Disguised much like the character Robin Hood, Queen becomes superhero/crimefighter, who comic book fans

know as Green Arrow, although he doesn’t go by that name in the television series.

Canadian-born actor Stephen Amell plays Queen in the series. Before being selected as the star of “Arrow,” Amell has been seen on other television series, including “New Girl” and “The Vampire Diaries.” Other actors who play reoccurring characters in the show include Queen’s love interest Felicity Smoak played by Emily Bett Rickards, David Ramsey as John Diggle and Katie Cassidy as Laurel Lance.

“Arrow” was created by executive producers Andrew Kreisberg, Greg Berlanti and Marc Guggenheim, who spoke at Comic Con 2012 about the show.

“We’re huge fans of the Smallville take and Justin Hartley’s performance in it,” Kreisberg said. “We just wanted to do something that was a little more grounded in reality, a little darker.”

The character and show is often compared to the work of Christopher Nolan and Batman. At a closer look, it almost appears as if the characters are identical, being a billionaire-playboy by day and a crime-fighting hero by night. Another thing the two characters have in common is they both use their smarts and tactical skills rather than superpowers.

The show left off with Team Arrow teaming up with Nyssa and the League of Assassins

hdwallpapers.in

in order to stop the Mirakuru Minions from advancing into Starling City and defeat Slade Wilson in the season two finale, “Unthinkable.”

It’s not too late to start watching.

“We closed a chapter at the end of season two, and this is a brand-new opening,” Guggenheim said in an interview with tvline.com. “It’s pretty new viewer-friendly.”

The trailer for the new season has left fans buzzing, particularly about Queen and his romantic interest Smoak which fans call “Olicity.”

While in the middle of a highspeed chase in Starling City, Queen asks Smoak on a date.

The trailer then flashes to a scene where Queen is fleeing shortly after putting an end to some criminal schemes when Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne) asks, “Do you have a hot date or something?”

Queen simply smiles.

Other things fans are looking forward to in the upcoming season are the introduction of new character Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh) and Sara Lance’s (Caity Lotz) return.

Season three follows the theme of identity.

“It’s the first season where this theme of identity is not only about Oliver but is also about all the other characters,” Guggenheim said.

“Arrow” will premiere 8 p.m. Wednesday on the CW. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Started from the bottom, now we’re here

BY Nicole Curtin A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Ponce De’Leioun has been rapping and trying to get West Virginia on the map in the hip hop world for the past few years.

“I would have to say, coming from a state that is overlooked on a daily basis and knowing that its not an easy path ahead of me inspires me to push harder and be the first to really succeed with rap,” De’Leioun said.

De’Leioun is an American rapper and songwriter who has accumulated some accolades in the rap industry.

He was flown out to have an interview and crib session with Tim Westwood of BBC Radio, the first artist to do so without being signed.

De’Leioun earned awards from the annual West Virginia Music Fest for Best Music Video, Best Performance and Artist of the Year.

This past summer, he spent a month in London on a promotion tour he created and shot several music videos. He was interviewed for a few magazines and earned radio play in the United Kingdom for his single “Outlaw,” featuring two British artists.

The reason behind his drive to make music is the way his career started to pan out when he was in high school.

“Growing up I had hoop dreams,” De’Leioun said. “I wanted to be in the NBA and spent my entire life practicing and training for it. I got myself into some trouble and was kicked out of school my senior year, lost any

Along with finishing his degree this academic year, De’Leioun is working on a couple of different projects and performing.

“The show at 123 Pleasant Street was absolutely dope,” he said. “The artists that came out to support and stayed the entire time I respect. This Wednesday, I’m hosting the first Hip Hop Showcase at Cellar and will have a few local artists performing there.”

At the end of the day, De’Leioun has one destination in mind.

“My only goal in the future

is to be successful...everything else falls underneath success,” he said. “Success to me is when I can take care of everybody who ever took care of me. When my parents can live stress-free, and I can go wherever I want at any time. Once I graduate, I plan to either move to California or out to London where I can continue my music career and road to success.”

Visiting Artist Lecture: Dennis Y. Ichiyama

By Jillian Clemente A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Dennis Y. Ichiyama, a Purdue University professor in graphic design, will speak tonight at West Virginia University. He is more than just a type aficionado.

“Instead of using for what (typeface’s) meant to be used, to print a word on a page, he’s using it as an artform,” said Robert Bridges, a curator at WVU. “With Ichiyama’s work, the use of an old wooden type printed on a page forms an abstraction with use of overlay, as well of cropping and color.”

Joseph Galbreath, a professor of graphic design at WVU, said Ichiyama works all over the world.

“He takes typefaces and, through color, transforms them,” Galbreath said.

Ichiyama has travelled all around the U.S., London and Italy to study typefaces. It all started when he was an undergraduate student.

“The interest has always been part of training as a designer, a parcel of my education,” Ichiyama said.

“The things I’m doing now is something slightly different; I’m dealing with letters, but much larger than what I was working with as

an undergrad.

“I was using text type. All of the sudden, 20 years ago, I was introduced to this wood type.”

He said he has loved it ever since, and others can definitely see that passion in him.

“He’s still aware it’s letters used in commercial process, but it’s used in a different way from an artist’s point of view,” Bridges said.

Ichiyama brings the artist’s point of view into his work, and the University has one of his books that was printed in art form.

He said he is appreciative and fascinated by the

work that has lived on.

“These are the letters that survived,” Ichiyama said. “Not all did, but these are marvelous. The material I work with is over 100 years old and somewhat fragile and has a tendency to sometimes break.”

He said their delicacy, large size and old age brings out their beauty.

“They’re large and very ornate,” Ichiyama said.

“They’re highly decorative to grab your attention.”

This size type was used for billboards advertising the circus coming into town and for other events, Ichiyama said. The color also makes this researcher

unique because it was more expensive and only black was used. However, it was more eye-catching for these big signs to use color, so he needed to work with color as well. The actual work he does researching these types has two parts to it.

“On one hand, it’s grueling and time-consuming,” Ichiyama said, citing the fragility of the wood.

“The other part is the fun because you get to create things you never thought (you) could.”

Ichiyama’s work was on display at the WVU Creative Arts Center recently, but the exhibition has since

passed. He was supposed to speak Sept. 2 before the exhibit but was unable to due to rain. The exhibit contained 20 to 30 pieces of the printed type, which he collected from the U.S. and Italy, according to Bridges.

Ichiyama will speak at 5 p.m. tonight at the Creative Arts Center.

“I’ll talk about two things - my work briefly, then turn it around to the students,” Ichiyama said.

Ichiyama said he wants to encourage design students to follow their dreams, no matter the circumstances. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Instant noodles for long-term success Ellis lends advice to journalism students

By Jillian Clemente A&E Writer @Dailyathenaeum

Westley Thompson Associate A&E Editor @westleyt93

Ramen is the salty speedy deliciousness that is a staple of every college student’s diet.

Students consume instant noodles in mass quantities.

According to wisegeek.com, more than 95 billion packs of instant noodles are eaten annually across the world.

Why do we eat so much ramen? The answer is twofold.

One, it’s cheap. Ramen costs only a couple of bucks for a 12-pack.

Two, it’s fast. Ramen cooks in only three minutes and requires no other ingredients besides hot water.

Unfortunately, ramen is not without its problems.

The noodles aren’t exactly healthy. They lack nutritional value and have a ridiculously high sodium content.

Also, they can become rather bland after a while.

Despite the myriad flavors instant noodles come in, such as chicken, shrimp, beef and others, it all pretty much boils down into salt water and noodles. This gets old fast.

Luckily there are some cheap, fast and easy ways to add flavor, variety and some nutritional value to your favorite bowl of three-minute goodness.

One thing you can do to easily step up your ramen game is to add meat to it. Leftover chicken sliced up or thin strips of flank steak added directly to the boiling water can impart both flavor and protein into your dish.

Eggs are another great addition. You can poach the egg by cracking it directly into

domesticallydobson.blogspot.com

Adding different condiments can bring your ramen experience to a whole new level. the water or make an imitation egg drop soup by lightly whisking the egg first before slowly drizzling it into the water. Frying the egg first in a frying pan is another excellent method. Eggs, like meat, add protein to the noodles as well as flavor.

For those with less of a carnivorous edge to their diet, vegetables are another great way to improve your quick meal. Sliced carrots, when boiled with the noodles, add a light sweetness along with some vitamin A. Spinach is a great source of iron and gives the broth some texture.

Pretty much any edible plant you can think of will improve instant noodles in some way.

For those concerned about their sodium intake, the flavor powder included with the noodles is your greatest en-

emy. Thankfully this can be ditched in favor of healthier options.

Condiments such as Sriracha can add flavor to your ramen while forgoing the cardiac-killing flavor powder.

Pretty much any condiment will work, and each individual’s preference will vary based on personal taste. After your noodles are done cooking, add your favorite sauce and mix it in. You’ll be surprised with how well this works.

Ramen recipes only get crazier from there. A quick online search turned up some strange dishes such as ramen salad and even ramen casserole.

Have any easy ramen recipes of your own?

As part of the Reed College of Media’s 75th anniversary celebration, Justin Ellis, a Nieman Lab journalist, spoke to a roomful of aspiring journalists Monday night about the future of the journalism job market.

Maryanne Reed, dean of the Reed College of Media, introduced Ellis.

“He’s incredibly smart and truly has a handle on where the industry is going,” Reed said.

Ellis started his presentation, warming up the audience with humor.

“Hold onto your butts it’s gonna get really weird,” Ellis said. “Not really.”

A slide with a bunny, fox and cabbage promptly followed, with many more GIF and video-filled slides afterwards. There was a story behind it he explained at the end dealing with problem-solving.

One problem he touched on was, while it’s not the worst time to be a journalist, it’s not the best, either.

“It’s uncertain how companies will make money in the future,” Ellis said. “The first biggest hit was when they lost revenue.”

He cited the fact that

classified advertising revenue steadily decreased after World War II when broadcast TV first began.

There used to be an 80 percent advertising and 20 percent circulation income. Now, it’s more towards the even split for income, said Ellis.

However, media companies are taking more routes to reach the consumer and making apps.

Those same media companies have to compete for time on mobile devices over other apps like Netflix and Snapchat, not strictly other media companies.

“Our phones are valuable real estate right now,” Ellis said.

Ellis cited the Twitter account to company Breaking News. It sends news updates to your phone strictly based on location and personal settings.

“They are thinking about how news fits into your life and fits into your phone,” Ellis said.

There are also a plethora of routes to take in the field of journalism.

“There are multiple paths. You don’t have to climb the ladder in the same old ways,” Ellis said.

He then offered different ways to become a good journalist, most of which emphasized

self-motivation.

“There are a lot of opportunities that can start with you,” Ellis said.

“Don’t wait. Start your blog right now. Just start writing. The work doesn’t have to be exemplary, you just need to have a body of work. You need to be discoverable on Google because these are the places where journalists are.”

He also encouraged audience members to become expert learners and learn how to focus on one passion.

“Demonstrate (that) you’re willing to learn,” he said.

His presentation kept the audience attentive, according to Kallie Nealis, a sophomore strategic communications student.

“I thought he really used the slides in a different way,” Nealis said.

“They were very helpful while following his stories.”

Ellis is willing to learn as well, but understands his weaknesses. He even made fun of his own technological issues. He said the only reason he was a journalist was because he was bad at math and science. In reality, Ellis became a journalist because he loves to write. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

TV Time: ‘The Voice’

Tattuesday

Every person can sing, but not every person can sing well. If you’d like to hear some truly gifted singers across the country, tune into “The Voice.”

After preliminary auditions, a singer chooses a song to sing in front of four celebrity coaches: Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani and Pharrell Williams. Past celebrity coaches included Shakira, Usher, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green.

Stefani and Pharrell are, so far, doing well as coaches. They aren’t annoying, as Green and Aguilera were, and truly know the music field and industry. Plus, they’ve collaborated in the past with “Can I Have It Like That.”

Levine and Shelton are as funny as ever, with their seemingly flirting banter and overall funny chemistry. Together, the four coaches keep viewers drawn in because they’re smart and can sing really well.

“I got the earth to symbolize Shakespeare’s Globe Theater since I’m an acting major and the fairy and stars represent my favorite story, Peter Pan,” Ventura said.

Plus, the theory behind the show is fantastic; the contestant is judged solely on the sound of his or her voice, which is why so many singers are drawn to sing on this show.

If the contestant doesn’t secure a spot on the show the first time, they’re encouraged to try again.

The first few weeks show these blind auditions of singers. After this week, the battle rounds will go into play where the coaches, after giving the contestants singing lessons with a fellow celebrity singer, pit against each other with one song and half the singers are eliminated. Coaches are allowed two steals of the dropped singers. After another level of battles, the live shows come into play.

TCU shakes up Big 12 power rankings with home upset over Sooners, Baylor claims top spot

FILE PHOTO

TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin drops back to pass during the Horned Frogs win over WVU in 2012.

CONNOR MURRAY SPORTS EDITOR @ConnorKMurray

It finally happened. The big shakeup that we’ve been waiting for finally came to fruition Saturday with 11 top-25 going down, including four teams in the top-10.

The Big 12 was not spared from the chaos, as the conference’s biggest national title threat in the No. 4 Oklahoma Sooners took a loss on the road against No. 25 TCU. The Horned Frogs made arguably the biggest splash of the weekend, outside of Arizona’s road upset of then-No. 2 Oregon. Head coach Gary Patterson’s team jumped all the way up to No. 9 in the most recent AP poll, and put itself on the map in the Big 12 title race.

Here’s how the Frogs stack up against the rest of the conference in this week’s Big 12 power rankings: 1. Baylor – The most potent offense in the Big 12 endured its shakiest performance in recent memory in a 28-7 win over the Longhorns in Austin Saturday.

Quarterback Bryce Petty completed just seven of his 22 passes for 111 yards, but

two of those completions were for touchdowns. Luckily for the Bears, the run game showed up in a big way. Running back Shock Linwood picked up the rest of the offense’s slack toting the rock 28 times for 148 yards and a touchdown.

While the offense had a bit of a setback, Phil Bennett’s defense, which has been much maligned in years past, continues to be dominant. A more complete effort on both sides of the ball will be needed when the Bears take on TCU in Waco this week.

2. TCU – The biggest winner in the conference Saturday, the Horned Frogs are now the No. 1 contender to challenge Baylor’s Big 12 crown. We don’t have to wait long to see the two teams slug it out either. TCU travels to Waco to see if it can make it two straight wins over top-5 teams. Quarterback Trevone Boykin looks comfortable as ever in the TCU offense, and the Frogs proved they have the firepower to go punch-for-punch with the cream of the crop in the conference against Oklahoma.

3. Oklahoma – No time is a good time for a loss for a national title contender, but the Sooners can take comfort in the fact that many of the other top teams in the

country suffered a similar fate Saturday. Staying on the bright side for the Bob Stoops’ team, another one of the Big 12’s undefeated teams is guaranteed to go down this week when Baylor and TCU get together.

For the second year in a row, Oklahoma goes into the Red River Rivalry game against Texas as a heavy favorite. The Sooners suffered a crushing loss in that game in 2013, and a similar outcome this year would all but dash their playoff hopes.

4. Kansas State – As is often the case with Kansas State, the Wildcats continue to take care of business while other teams garner the headlines in the conference. Bill Snyder’s team is off to a 2-0 start in the Big 12, and the offense continues to look potent as ever under quarterback Jake Waters. The senior threw for four touchdowns in the Wildcats’ 45-13 rout of Texas Tech Saturday, and added another score on the ground. He accounted for 395 yards of total offense in the game. The Wildcats will be on a bye this week, which sets them up well for their trip to Norman to take on Oklahoma in Week 8.

5. Oklahoma State – The Cowboys have scored 30 or more points in each of their first five games and are

climbing the national rankings as a result. After starting the season unranked, Oklahoma State is up to No. 16 in the most recent AP poll. A slow start against Iowa State gave cause for some concern, but the Cowboys eased all of that with a dominant second half and a 37-20 victory.

Mike Gundy’s team travels to Lawrence to take on a listless Kansas team this week before traveling to take on TCU for its toughest Big 12 test of the season to this point in Week 8.

6. West Virginia – A win is a win, but the Mountaineers didn’t exactly put an inspiring performance together against Kansas Saturday. Quarterback Clint Trickett and the offense struggled to finish drives early in the game, but did enough to get by against the conference’s perennial basement dweller.

Wide receiver Kevin White continues to be a force to be reckoned with. Another dominant performance against the Jayhawks moved him up to No. 1 in the country in receiving yards above Alabama’s Amari Cooper. The Mountaineers will need their offense to be in top form when they travel to Lubbock this week to take on a Red Raider team that has been a nightmare to deal

with in the past.

7. Texas – The Longhorns slowed down the breakneck pace of Baylor’s offense for a half, but their own offensive inefficiency cost them a chance at an upset. Charlie Strong’s team continues to show tremendous fight when it’s clearly outmatched against the nation’s best teams, but that is hardly good enough for a program like Texas.

With suspensions and dismissals galore, the Longhorns are shorthanded and are going to have to pull a rabbit out of their hat in order to get back in the win column against Oklahoma Saturday.

8. Texas Tech – The slide continues for head coach Kliff Kingsbury and the Red Raiders. Quarterback Davis Webb took the Big 12 by storm in his freshman season, but a sophomore slump has brought him back to earth. When it is clicking, Texas Tech’s offense is one of the scariest in the country. When it isn’t, which has been the case lately, the Red Raiders are far from terrifying.

Webb threw four interceptions in the loss at Kansas State last week. He must cut down on the turnovers this week if the Red Raiders want to take down West Virginia at home.

9. Iowa State – When

your athletic director is ripping Big 12 officials before your head coach’s postgame press conference, you know the day didn’t turn out like you planned.

Officiating issues or not, Iowa State fell apart against Oklahoma State in the second half in Stillwater and lost its third straight conference game to start the season. The Cyclones will take a break from Big 12 play this week when they take on Toledo. Perhaps a break from the conference schedule is just what they need.

10. Kansas – The Clint Bowen era of Kansas football got off to a less-thanimpressive start in Morgantown last week. The Jayhawk offense took ineptness to a new level, punting on its first 10 possessions and 14 total times in the game. Quarterback play has been a problem year in and year out for Kansas, and it doesn’t seem like it will be resolved this year.

Starter Montell Cozart was knocked out of the West Virginia game with an injury, but he wasn’t exactly setting the world on fire before that happened. Backup Michael Cummings change the script much, and the Jayhawk offense managed just 176 total yards in a 3314 loss. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

SWIMMING & DIVING

Squires starts year with record breaking performance by david statman sports writer @dailyathenaeum

If you ever find your way down to the West Virginia University Natatorium, home of the WVU swimming and diving teams, take a look up on the back wall. There, you will find the record boards, where the best performances in WVU swimming and diving history are immortalized – at least until someone beats them.

Some names appear more than others. One of

those names is that of Tim Squires. A tall, soft-spoken senior from Buckhannon, W. Va., Squires has established himself as one of the best freestyle swimmers in Mountaineer history.

Last season, Squires set six school records – four as part of relay teams – and earned All-Big 12 First Team honors for the 50yard freestyle and the 100yard freestyle. At the Big 12 Championships in February, Squires won Most Outstanding Men’s Swimmer of the Meet.

Now, Squires is taking

on a new role: That of a senior leader on a team laden with freshmen.

“I think the guys look up to me and all the other upperclassmen too,” Squires said after the intrasquad Gold-Blue Meet last Friday. “It’s not just me, it’s just we have so many freshmen, so they’re always looking up to the upperclassmen, which is good.”

Squires was a touted freshman himself when he entered WVU, setting state and national records in a heralded career

at Buckhannon-Upshur High School. Now in his fifth year in Morgantown – he redshirted last year – Squires started his final season with a bang in the Gold-Blue Meet, breaking a pool record in the 100yard freestyle and helping his Gold Team edge out a narrow victory.

“Obviously, Tim breaking the pool record is a great way to start our season,” coach Vic Riggs said after the meet.

For Squires, it was another check on the to-do list. The other pool record

in his sights, the 50-yard freestyle, narrowly eluded him on Friday.

“There’s one more, the 50 pool record. That one’s going to be tough,” Squires said. “I tried to go for it today, but that one’s going to be tough. The 100 was the main focus because I was so close last year and then we ran out of home meets. So this year my goal was to get them before the end of the year since I think we only have two home meets, so I only have a couple chances.”

Aside from the 50-yard

record, Squires also has All-American honors in his sights. West Virginia’s last All-American male swimmer was Kevin Donohue in 2008.

Squires will get his next chance at the 50-yard pool record on Oct. 23, when the Mountaineers host Penn State. WVU’s only other home meet will be held on Jan. 16, against TCU. After all, as they say, records are meant to be broken. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Bail revoked over cocaine for MLB scandal figure

ap

A judge has ordered Anthony Bosch to be jailed immediately after testing positive for cocaine.

MIAMI (AP) – The former owner of the clinic at the center of Major League Baseball’s recent performance-enhancing drug scandal had his bail revoked Monday because of recent positive tests for cocaine use.

U.S. District Judge Darrin P. Gayles ordered Anthony Bosch jailed immediately. Bosch tested positive twice in August for cocaine use, after he was released on $100,000 bail under conditions including no use of illegal drugs and random urine testing.

Gayles also found Bosch wasn’t regularly attending voluntary drug treatment.

“I simply have no confi-

dence in his ability to appear as required,” Gayles said at a hearing.

Prosecutors say Bosch’s Coral Gables clinic, Biogenesis of America, was involved in a conspiracy to provide performance-enhancing drugs to MLB players and even high school athletes. Fourteen MLB players were suspended following the probe, including a seasonlong suspension this year for New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.

Bosch, 51, is scheduled to plead guilty next week and has been cooperating in the investigation against others who were charged, including possibly testify-

ing in those cases. Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael “Pat” Sullivan, however, said authorities were well aware of Bosch’s chronic drug problem and fondness for South Beach nightclubs.

“We knew from our investigation that Mr. Bosch was one who liked to party,” Sullivan said.

Bosch attorney Guy Lewis, himself a former Miami U.S. attorney, pointed out that Bosch had not tested positive for cocaine since Aug. 18 and was doing his best to attend a drug treatment program. Lewis denied that Bosch has been frequenting nightclubs and said that he is living up to his cooperation agreement

with prosecutors.

“I can tell you he’s not out on South Beach,” Lewis said. “The last thing he’s doing is out being notorious in South Florida.

He has a drug problem, though. He is addressing it.”

Although Sullivan did not ask for Bosch’s bail to be revoked, Gayles refused to simply place Bosch under a curfew or order more frequent urine testing. Gayles also was unmoved by Lewis’ comment that Bosch was under a great deal of pressure and was the subject of death threats.

“The pressure on the defendant, I don’t find a mit-

igating factor,” the judge said. “I don’t find that he’s a good candidate to remain out on bond.”

Bosch is charged with conspiracy to distribute testosterone, which carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence. Despite the bail revocation, however, Bosch is likely to eventually receive a lighter sentence because of his cooperation with prosecutors.

Six other people have been charged in the case, although no athletes have been prosecuted so far.

MLB previously sued Bosch and his clinic but withdrew the lawsuit in February. The league had accused Bosch and others

with conspiring to violate player contracts by providing them with banned substances.

The season-long suspension of Rodriguez was the longest in baseball history related to banned substances. Rodriguez denied taking illegal substances while with the Yankees, but did admit doing so earlier in his career with the Texas Rangers.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said at the end of this season that the team expects Rodriguez back to play third base next year if he is up to it physically.

Rodriguez, a three-time American League MVP, turns 40 in July.

Dolphins’ Shelby suspended in wake of arrest DAVIE, Fla. (AP) – Miami Dolphins reserve defensive lineman Derrick Shelby was suspended indefinitely after police used a Taser on him three times while arresting him on misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest and trespassing at a nightclub.

Shelby was suspended hours before Monday’s practice for conduct detrimental to the team. Coach Joe Philbin said he talked with Shelby, and said the Dolphins will

gather more information before making a final determination on disciplinary action.

According to a Fort Lauderdale police report, nightclub security said Shelby was touching women without their permission early Saturday. Shelby appeared intoxicated, was ordered to leave several times by an officer and refused, the report said.

When officers tried to place the 6-foot-2, 282-pound Shelby in custody, he pushed

away and took an aggressive fighting stance. He was placed on the ground and continued to resist, and officers used a Taser before he was subdued.

A mug shot showed Shelby with a swollen lower lip and a bruise on his cheek. He was released from jail on a $100 bond and entered a plea of not guilty.

“We’re still gathering information,” Philbin said after practice Monday. “I feel like from the information I have

at the present time, I took the appropriate action and suspended him indefinitely.”

Shelby’s agent, David Canter, released a statement saying he was disappointed by the Dolphins’ decision to suspend to his client.

Defensive end Jared Odrick, a friend of Shelby’s, said he was surprised to learn of the arrest.

“I thought it was like The Onion news reporting it, thinking it was fake, because

he’s such a smart guy,” Odrick said. “He loves his job and working hard and setting a standard with the team. So it was shocking.”

Odrick said he took no issue with the suspension. But Odrick said he, Shelby and other black players face special challenges regarding their conduct in public.

“The thing we’re reminded of as professional athletes and black men is we’re targets more than anybody else walk-

ing down the street,” Odrick said. “We’re targeted sometimes, and we have to understand we have to uphold standards and society’s rules more than a regular passer-by. We have to set the example.”

Shelby, a third-year veteran, has played in all four games as a reserve this season. The Dolphins had a bye last weekend, and players were off Thursday through Sunday. Miami plays Green Bay on Sunday.

NBA extends television deals with ESPN and TNT NEW YORK (AP) – The NBA and its television partners couldn’t wait to extend their contracts.

The league renewed its deals with ESPN and TNT even though two seasons remain on the old ones.

With potential competition from Fox looming, both networks were willing to pay generously to secure the rights long term.

The NBA’s annual revenue from the agreements will increase from $930 million to more than $2.6 billion, according to a

person familiar with the terms. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press because the league did not announce financial figures.

“We ultimately made a decision that this was the right time to go,” Commissioner Adam Silver said at a news conference Monday.

“These are extraordinarily healthy deals financially.”

The contracts will run an additional nine years through the 2024-25 season. The previous eightyear agreements end after

2015-16.

“We believe at the end of the deal it will feel inexpensive,” ESPN President John Skipper said. “It’s hard to imagine.”

What was painful to imagine for both companies was life without the NBA. “Each year the playoffs help TNT win nights of television during allimportant May sweeps,” said David Levy, president of Turner Broadcasting System.

The basics won’t change: The NBA Finals remain on

ABC, ESPN’s broadcast partner. ESPN/ABC and TNT will continue to split the conference finals.

Broadcasting rights fees have been skyrocketing across all sports as live events become increasingly valuable to advertisers. Few viewers will DVR an NBA game, which means they can’t fast-forward through the commercials.

“There’s never been a better time to be an owner of an NBA franchise - or, frankly, any professional sports team,” said Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis, chairman of the league’s media committee.

Especially after 24-hour sports cable channel Fox Sports 1 launched last year. With so many rights locked up in long deals, the NBA was the biggest property coming up in the short term.

The league has relationships with both Fox and Comcast, NBC’s parent company, which locally televise teams’ games on their regional sports networks. If the national contract had gone to the open market, NBC also could have pursued a return to NBA coverage to boost its 24-hour sports cable channel, NBCSN. Silver said the league took into consideration the potential interest of tech companies such as Google and Apple that could eventually bid on sports rights and change the model for how fans watch games.

But for the next decade and beyond, the NBA is sticking with what works.

“I don’t think we left any

money on the table,” Silver said. “We’re confident that we maximized what our opportunity was in the marketplace.”

For ESPN, the value of the deal goes beyond games, though there are more of those, too: ESPN and ABC are adding 10 regular-season matchups, bringing their total to 100.

The network also gets expanded rights to air highlights and will significantly expand its NBA studio shows. The goal is to make basketball a yearround topic of conversation as the NFL has become on ESPN. To that end, the agreement adds the NBA’s Summer League and its developmental league. The network also extends its WNBA contract through 2025 and increas es its offerings for ESPN International.

And then there are the plans for a new service for mobile devices that ESPN will run, with the NBA receiving equity interest. Details on that have yet to be determined.

ESPN now owns rights to the NBA, NFL, Major League Baseball, college football playoffs and four of the five power conferences through at least 2021. Only the Big Ten contract ends soon among the network’s biggest sports properties.

It will be at least another decade before Fox can try to put a substantial dent in ESPN’s head start.

TNT, meanwhile, can’t offer its own 24-hour sports channel to the NBA. But it has deep business

ties to the league through managing its digital properties, which includes NBA TV and NBA.com.

The new deal includes expanded digital rights for Bleacher Report, the sports website acquired by Turner, TNT’s parent company. TNT will televise an additional 12 games with playoff implications over the second half of the season on nights other than its traditional Thursday, bringing its total to 64.

TNT will also air a new postseason awards show.

When the NBA negotiated its last collective bargaining agreement, the union secured the ability for either side to opt out in 2017 so players could gauge the effects of the next television deals on revenue.

One reason LeBron James signed for only two years with the Cleveland Cavaliers was an expectation that the salary cap would rise significantly with more TV money pouring in.

Silver said he would start discussions with National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts about the transition to a much larger cap.

In a statement, Roberts called the new contracts “good news for all of the stakeholders in the business of the NBA.” “Our job will be to ensure that the players receive their fair share of the results of their efforts,” she added, “and that we do everything possible to maintain the growth and popularity of the game.”

DEFENSIVE DYNAMIC

WVU defensive end Shaq Riddick had his first career Mountaineer start Saturday against Kansas.

West Virginia gets a defensive boost from Riddick, Muldrow Saturday against Kansas by dillon durst sports writer @dailyathenaeum

After playing Division 1 heavyweights Alabama and Oklahoma in the first four weeks of the season, West Virginia was able to get its slew of pass rushers involved in Saturday’s 33-14 win over Kansas.

Head coach Dana Holgorsen said after the game that facing bigger and more physical teams like Alabama and Oklahoma required bigger bodies on the defensive line, whereas facing spread teams like Kansas allowed the Mountaineers to

play more athletic guys like senior defensive end Shaq Riddick and junior linebacker Edward Muldrow.

West Virginia also moved top pass rusher Brandon Golson from weakside linebacker to defensive end against the Jayhawks to put him in a better position to get pressure on the quarterback.

“I was pleased with the way we played up front. We (have) to continue to get better at it and continue to get pressure on the quarterback,” Holgorsen said. “(Texas Tech is) going to be a whole different deal.

They’re going to throw the

ball all over the place, and we’re going to have to get guys in position that are able to get to the quarterback.

“When you play more spread teams that we’re going to face here over the course of the next seven weeks, you better get guys into position to rush.”

Riddick and Muldrow both earned their first career starts Saturday and figure to see more playing time the rest of the season.

At 6-foot-6, 242 pounds, Riddick often finds himself at a bit of a disadvantage when facing a 300-plus pound tackle. However, Riddick said his ability to get a

quick first step when the ball is snapped allows him to counteract any size barrier he may face.

“I work with getting off the ball as fast as I can because if I jump off the ball, it depletes all the size that they have,” he said.

After transferring to West Virginia from GardnerWebb where he was an FCS All-America selection at defensive end last season, Riddick looks to take advantage of increased playing time and become an impact pass rusher for the Mountaineers.

Muldrow saw increased playing time against Okla-

homa, registering four tackles. At 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, Muldrow said playing weakside linebacker allows him to make use of his speed and athleticism. Playing on the same side of the ball as Golson, Muldrow said he believes the two can be very disruptive.

“I already knew if we get on the same side together, we’re going to cause havoc,” he said.

After transferring to West Virginia from Copiah-Lincoln Community College in Wesson, Miss., Muldrow has earned increased playing time after putting in a lot of hard work and effort.

“He’s adjusted now to what we do and how we do it. He’s just playing really hard,” said defensive coordinator Tony Gibson.

“I probably should have played him more against Oklahoma after watching that film. I knew we had to get him on the field for a lot more snaps.”

As the Mountaineers prepare to face Air Raid teams Texas Tech and No. 5 Baylor in consecutive weeks, West Virginia’s pass rushers must be able to get to the quarterback to effect the passing game. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

WVU looks for revenge against Texas Tech this weekend

After a week of sitting idle, the West Virginia women’s soccer team returns to action Friday night against Texas Tech.

While every conference game is important, the matchup against Texas Tech may contain a little extra emotion.

Last season, Texas Tech was the only Big 12 team to

defeat the Mountaineers.

Even though the loss didn’t prevent WVU from eventually claiming the regular season and Big 12 championship, the loss was still an eye sore on the team’s nearly perfect conference record.

There are various returning players on West Virginia’s team that remember what happened last year and have highlighted this matchup since the preseason.

“We’re excited for every

match,” said Kailey Utley, junior forward for the team.

“We all remember what happened last year, they beat us. We want revenge.”

Utley has been providing the Mountaineers with excellent play thus far. She’s netted two goals on the season and has eight total points, which is tied for second best on the team alongside Ashley Lawrence and Leah Eamus.

After a tough nonconference schedule, the Moun-

taineers entered Big 12 play. They are currently 1-0-1 in the conference standings and have been steadily ranked No. 14 in the country.

Utley said she and the rest of team continues to improve as the season progresses.

“Everyone gets more comfortable each game,” Utley said. “We go into practice, watch film and we’re getting better every day.”

This mindset has to sit

well with head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown, who is always challenging her team to get better each and every day.

Texas Tech will march into Morgantown ranked No. 15 in the nation. After falling to Texas and Oklahoma, the Red Raiders boast a 0-2-1 conference record.

The Red Raiders are still searching for their first win of the season and knocking off West Virginia in Morgantown is one way to pick up that first win.

The Mountaineers are coming off a win against Texas – the team that handed Texas Tech its first conference loss of the season.

“You see Texas beats Texas Tech that weekend, so you never know what could happen in the Big 12,” said senior forward Kate Schwindel. “It’s just about us bringing everything we can to this game.” dasports@mail.wvu.edu
