Candidates talk state, county issues By Daniel Schatz Staff Writer @DailyAthenaeum

The Daily Athenaeum hosted a Monongalia County Political Candidate Forum Wednesday in the Gluck Theatre with candidates running for the West Virginia House of Delegates and State Senate to discuss various issues regarding Morgantown and the state. One of the topics discussed by the 13 candidates Wythe Woods/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM present at the forum was the Joe Statler answers questions during the political forum Wednesday night in the issue surrounding the damGluck Theatre

aged roads throughout the state and the potential safety hazards they cause. Every candidate agreed that damaged roads pose a serious threat to drivers and each suggested different means of repairing the damages. Brian Kurcaba, republican candidate for the House of Delegates, said he believes the federal government should compensate the citizens of West Virginia for the amount of money communities directly put up for repairs. “We’re putting a huge

amount of money in, and we need to get some of that money back,” Kurcaba said. “What I would do would be to creatively make some sales taxes to help bring some more funds.” Another issue questioned the state’s unyielding allocation of resources to the coal industry, in spite of the 3 percent of West Virginians employed by the coal industry. Candidates discussed the state’s ultimate reliance on coal, the resource’s positive effect on both the national

and state economy and other energy alternatives the state should research to relieve the state’s reliance on coal. Bob, Beach, democratic candidate for State Senate, said he believes coal is still a relevant resource crucial to the state’s economy, but that he does advocate continued research on alternative resources, especially solar power. “I don’t think coal is on the decline, currently,” Beach

SGA confirms Orlowski as Maniac director By SAM BOSSERMAN Staff Writer @DAILYATHENAEUM

The West Virginia University Student Government Association confirmed Steve Orlowski as the next director of the Mountaineer Maniacs student organization during its regular meeting Wednesday night. Orlowski is a long standing member of the Mountaineer Maniacs and remarks made by the Board of Governors conveyed a high degree of confidence in his ability to lead the organization into the next academic year. Liz Barnhart, a BOG member, said she thought Steve will do a great job as director and is particularly interested in seeing how his new ideas for the organization pan out. “I especially like how he wants to reach out to all the other maniac-type groups within the Big 12,” Barnhart said. “I think it’d be really cool to feed off the ideas of what other schools do.” Barnhart said West Virginia often suffers from negative misconceptions, and connecting with these other student groups could go a long way in helping improve the school’s image within the conference. “It’d be really great to bring these groups here to show them how we really do things,” Barnhart said. “There are a lot of people who are really proud to be Mountaineers, and the Maniacs do a great job at showing that enthusiasm in a positive way.” Orlowski said the Mountaineer Maniacs was the

Forum talks adult relationships, love, intimacy in college by alexis randolph staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Students and faculty at West Virginia University will have the chance to explore the different aspects of relationships tonight at 7 in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. As part of Graduate Student Appreciation Week, WVU will host the Rules of Engagement Panel Discussion addressing love, intimacy, fidelity and expectations. Jason Ottley, a first-year doctoral human development and family studies student, decided to put on the event. He said the forum will work to explain to students what a healthy relationship is and how to have one. “College students jump in and out of relationships all of the time without knowing how they work,” Ottley said. “This will hopefully teach them how to be in a constantly changing relationship.” The panelists, including professionals and experts in all fields of study, will discuss how relationships in the 21st century are constantly changing and will even share their own love lessons gone wrong. Ottley said he worked to find people for the panel who shared his vision for the event. “I looked for like-minded (people) who shared my idea of what this event should be,” he said. “As a facilitator, I want to make sure students walk away from

Students stand in protest against worldwide slavery by laura haight staff writer @dailyathenaeum

More than 100 students and faculty members took part in the Stand for Freedom event outside the Mountainlair all day Wednesday. The event was sponsored by the International Justice Mission and is aimed to raise awareness of human trafficking and modern slavery. According to the Global Slavery Index, slavery is defined as the condition of treating another person as if he or she is property. Forced labor refers to work taken without consent, by threats or coercion. Human trafficking is the process through which people are brought into forced labor or severe exploitation through deception, threats or coercion. Nearly 500 universities participated in the protest in countries all around the world. Brady Smith, co-founder and copresident of International Justice Mission, said the main purpose behind the event is to bring attention to slavery. “You can’t work on something if you don’t know it exists,” Smith said. In 2014, there are 29.8 million peo-

Slavery is still present in 162 countries in the world, including the United States.

ness about slavery and help those affected by it. Throughout the year, the International Justice Mission has saved 18,000 people from forced labor. “When I found out that people are enslaved, especially in the country I live in, it struck a chord within me to do something about it,” Smith said. Smith said he believes he was lucky to be born in the United States where he has plenty of opportunity.

Candidates discussed why the relationship is of great importance and how they will continue to create more opportunities for students of the state. Charlene Marshall, democratic candidate for the House of Delegates, spoke about the importance of the relationship between state legislatures and the University and how she plans to continue to support University students. “I think the wayside between WVU and those elected officials in Charleston are the most important,” Marshall said. “We are definitely aware of some of the situations that need to be improved on here at WVU, and then we will work toward getting those.” The candidate forum was the political science capstone project of Summer Ratcliff and Chris Flaherty, both political science students at WVU. Ratcliff said she felt the forum was the perfect op-

portunity for students and community members to hear from those that may potentially be representing them at the State Capitol. “Forums of this type are the perfect setting to hear candidates speak candidly about issues that truly matter to the citizens of this area,” she said. “It takes the candidates out of their normal campaign comfort zones and puts them in a position to answer questions and speak more openly on the discussion topics. This forum was particularly successful in really generating positive discussion about what state leaders can do to help the constituents they represent. “It was a great success to see the event come together so well; hopefully it will prove beneficial for all of those in attendance, both the candidates and the audience members.”

care enough to give up a day, to give up sleep, to give up class or whatever it might be to stand out here,” he said. “We want to start as many conversations as possible to let people in on the fact there are 29 million slaves in the world, and we’re not okay with it.” Smith called upon his fellow WVU students to stand with him to make a

difference. “Our University motto is, ‘Mountaineers are always free,’” he said. “If the Mountaineers are always free, shouldn’t everyone else be?” Katie Woodhead, a junior marketing student and member of the WVU chapter of International Justice Mission, stood outside the Mountainlair nearly all day and night with her fellow

members. She said it hits home that people in the United States are enslaved as well as in other countries. “It’s a fact that’s really hard to ignore,” Woodhead said. “I think it’s wrong that I have so much freedom, and there are people out there who are enslaved.” She said by standing, she’s using her voice as a privi-

lege that others have been denied. “I want to make a stand and speak for those who can’t,” Woodhead said. “If we’re all standing up against this, it can be something that is changed. “Our generation has the power to make a difference and raise awareness.”

their spouse while in college, while one third of college seniors have been on fewer than two dates. This discussion is meant to give students the tools they need to sustain relationships. According to Ottley, these conversations are already happening on a small scale. “Every campus needs to have these conversations,

and they are. Different departments are – psychology, philosophy and others. They happen in the dormitories,” he said. “They are already happening in small pockets around campus. This is the chance for the entire student body (at) large to discuss this platform.” Another emphasis of the forum is including students of all races, genders, eth-

nicities and sexual orientations. There was an invitation extended to the WVU Spectrum community to be a part of the panel. Ottley talked about the importance of having an all-inclusive panel. “As a society, we have tried to separate the different levels of love, whether it be by race, gender or sexual orientation,” Ottley said.

“The idea of love is a global language. Everyone wants to feel some level of love, of caring. This will hopefully help students to be more sensitive to those of other cultures and sexual orientations.” Ottley’s advice to students who plan on attending the event is to come with an open mind.

lates the WVU rifle team in winning the 2013-14 season NCAA championship. Andrew Sutherland, an athletic councilor, said despite being one of the best teams on campus, WVU rifle often does not get the attention it deserves. “I want the student body to actually recognize what the rifle team has accomplished with all their hard work,” Sutherland said. “The rifle team, in my opinion, is one of the best athletic teams we have at WVU.” The second proclamation recognizes the accomplishments of the West Virginia University National Model United Nations delegation

at their recent conference trip in New York City. The student organization won “outstanding delegation” honors for both of the delegations it sent to the conference, representing Slovakia and the Russian Federation, respectively. Dustin Seabolt, a BOG member, said WVU NMUN serves as a great representation of the University and the state. “It’s extremely satisfying to know that we have these talented students representing the University and Mountaineer nation in such a positive light,” Seabolt said. “It shows that Mountaineers aren’t just a bunch of banjo-playing hillbillies but are indeed people who can go out and do these esteemed things at the higher levels of education.” The BOG approved several student organization grants during the meeting. While the funds for these grants did indeed come from the grants account, they were originally marked to be used for a community service project. Dillan Knox, the outgoing chief financial officer, said the repurposing of $10,000 from this community service project award would be more than enough to cover the remaining student organization grants. “With the new (fiscal) year, Ryan Campione had championed a new type of grant that was supposed to be used for a community project. Unfortunately, nobody applied,” Knox said. “So we were able to use this money to cover student (organization) grants for the incoming administration.” Vice President Jacob Evans said he appreciated the help of previous administration officials who are still acting in their old capacities. “They’ve helped out tremendously in making sure the meetings have gone smoothly and are going along at a nice steady pace,” Evans said. According to Evans, he and President Chris Nyden are happy to see so many students being recognized by SGA through the use of proclamations. Evans said groups such as NMUN and the WVU rifle team are improving the image of the University worldwide. WVU SGA holds regular meetings every Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Hatfields B.

Humans of Morgantown kicks off BY NICOLE CURTIN A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Some of you may have heard about the Humans of New York photography project. The project is basically a blog full of pictures by Brandon Stanton, who takes pictures of people he finds roaming in New York and puts a quote with their picture on his website. A student at West Virginia University decided to do the same kind of project in Morgantown. Julie Winegard, a senior art and design student, created Humans of Morgantown as a class assignment. “It all started with a photography class project to emanate a famous photographer,” Winegard said. “I had recently discovered Humans of New York, and immediately, I knew that was exactly what I wanted to do.” Over the course of a month, Winegard took pictures and captured quotes for the project. Then, she decided to make it more than just a school project. “I then started posting the pictures to Twitter under the Humans of Morgantown account and decided to keep

expanding the project,” she said. Winegard said she tries to take pictures of local people as well as WVU students. “I have photographed a lot of my friends, but I also try to get strangers any chance I get,” Winegard said. “On the weekends, I walk downtown with my camera and ask people on the streets if they would mind me taking their photo.” Part of the task, aside from taking the picture, is getting quotes from the people she photographs. Winegard said she goes about this a couple of ways. “I ask whatever question comes to mind when I see that person,” Winegard said. “Most of the time, it’s not their answer that becomes the quote but a portion of the conversation that follows.” Winegard said talking to people she doesn’t know and seeing their reactions to her questions is part of the fun. “I ask questions most people can relate to, such as what their favorite childhood memory was, what their current stress is or what they want to be when (they) grow up. I enjoy seeing the initially awkward encounters turn into in-

teresting conversations.” So far, the feedback has been good, and Winegard said she thinks people are enjoying the project. “The response has been really positive. I was surprised by the number of people, strangers and friends alike, who have been favoriting, retweeting and liking the posts,” she said. “People seem really excited that a project like this has come to Morgantown.” Winegard said she wants to provide a different view of such an interesting town. “I wanted to give the people of Morgantown something to look forward to,” Winegard said. “They may see their friends show up on the page, or maybe they will be featured. I also wanted to give a better perspective of the vast array of people in Morgantown – how we are all so different, but also connected by this place we love.” Winegard has a Twitter account for Humans of Morgantown, which you can follow at @humansofMGTWN. She has also created a Facebook page. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Playground razor blade ‘prank’ growing trend Sarah cooper columnist

Recently, as I scrolled through my Twitter feed, I saw a few retweets that caught my attention. A picture of playground equipment with razor blades taped along the railings of the monkey bars was posted with a caption complaining about a sick prank. As is typical of the Internet, I just assumed someone went out to a playground, pulled the prank, took a couple photos and posted it online to mess with people. I didn’t think the prank was real and happening with frequency. Not much later, I was scrolling through Tumblr when I noticed a huge block of text dedicated to the issue. Tumblr is usually a decent source for exposing interesting news and social issues on a global scale, so I became curious and researched the issue

myself. A 2-year-old Illinois child was injured while playing on the monkey bars with his father March 24. The child was on his father’s shoulders, reaching for the bars, when something sharp slipped across his fingers. After the toddler said “ouch,” his father put him down on the ground when his parents noticed that he was bleeding. Confused, they looked around the area and noticed at least a dozen razor blades were glued to equipment throughout the park. “They were on the monkey bars, the rock-climbing wall, the fire pole, the bottom of the slide. Just everywhere,” said Sally Jenks, the child’s mother. “I was so upset. It could have been horrible. It could have sliced his hand open completely, if he was older, and he was really swinging on the monkey bars and grabbed it. He was just lightly touching it. If he was older, it would have mutilated his hand,” said Jayson Kenney, the child’s father.

Razor blades had been placed strategically throughout the park in a manner that, if held onto or interacted with the right way, could have sliced the wrists of innocent children playing with their friends. The police are consistently searching for the culprit but haven’t gained any ground. “ Pa re n t s a re being warned to check the equipment due to the fact that some thoughtless criminal had duct taped some razor blades to the equipment that could have caused injury to children playing in the area,” said a spokesperson with the Brookhaven Fire Station in Illinois. “Please warn your older unescorted children as well.” Only a week later, perhaps as some cruel April Fools’ joke, a similar incident happened in a playground in the Philadelphia area. This time, though no one was injured, the blades were duct taped across the park and authorities are again warning citizens to check the equipment be-

fore proceeding. I am still in shock that something like this could happen and is happening in the world. We as Americans tend to be proud of our nation and we put effort into preserving it and trying to make the world a better, safer place for all of mankind, but are we missing something? So many things happen in the United States that need attention, yet we shift a lot of our aid to outlets overseas. Here, although our issues present themselves in different grades, we struggle with a lot of the same things – homelessness, gun control issues, sex trafficking, rape culture and more. Citizens are often found trying to do their best to solve these problems, but perhaps it is time for some government attention and help. More and more teens are getting affected by sadistic happenings and the multitude of children affected is growing with every passing incident. As we grow up, we lose some of

www.nbcnews.com

our innocence as we see how cruel the world can be. We have been given the wonderful gift of life and an amazing place to spend it in. The world is mindboggling, regardless of what you believe in. You are here and so are others. You have feelings and so do others. When it comes to pulling pranks, even though they’re fun, it’s important to consider the consequences before you do something extremely dangerous. While it is crucial to help

out other countries, we need to do what we can to stop the controversial and unsafe issues eating away at our own citizens before more lives are ruined or lost or childhoods are blemished. Not only are we a nation where children are afraid to going school because of shootings, we are now becoming a nation where children can’t go to a playground without the fear of weaponry enclosed within the park’s fence. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Gordon: the latest in a line of brave student-athletes

HuffingtonPost.com

ryan van buren columnist

Gay marriage and gay rights are topics that are becoming more and more tolerated and open throughout our country. The results of that change have seen athletes such as Jason Collins, Brittney Griner and Michael Sam open up to the country about their sexual orientation shamelessly. The next athlete to come out as gay is Division I bas-

ketball player Derrick Gordon. Gordon currently plays for the University of Massachusetts and announced his sexual preference April 2. For most, this isn’t an issue at all, but until the entire country becomes tolerant and accepting of someone’s sexual orientation, it will continue to make national headlines. Kate Fagan, a reporter for espnW, released her article on Gordon this week, and since then Gordon has been embraced and commended from multiple

sources across the nation. “I just didn’t want to hide anymore, in any way,” Gordon said. “I didn’t want to have to lie or sneak. I’ve been waiting and watching for the last few months, wondering when a Division I player would come out, and finally I just said, ‘Why not me?’” The decision for Gordon to come out is something that will affect his life forever. I personally think it was brave of him to do this while still enrolled in college because of what he will potentially face when

playing road games in his upcoming seasons. For an athlete like Jason Collins, who plays in the NBA, he faces much scrutiny from fans, but playing a college road game in front of drunk and rowdy 20-yearold kids could and will be a significant and gutwrenching challenge. Gordon mentioned what Jason Collins meant to him and his decision to come out to the public. “That was so important to me, knowing that sexuality didn’t matter, that the NBA was OK with it.”

The decision to come out with such a controversial choice to some people in this country is a lot easier when you have a loyal and supporting cast of people surrounding you. “UMass is proud to have Derrick Gordon as a member of our athletic family and to honor his courage and openness as a gay student-athlete,” said UMass athletic director John McCutcheon. “UMass is committed to creating a welcoming climate where every studentathlete, coach and staff member can be true to themselves as they pursue their athletic, academic and professional goals.” I believe the hardest part with an athlete announcing they are gay is the reception he or she will receive from teammates. It’s easy to acknowledge someone’s choice from afar, but for his teammates, who practice with and are constantly around that athlete, you can only hope they’re open and proud of the decision. For Gordon it seems his teammates and coaching staff have his full support, and that couldn’t be any important to his future success on and off the court. “From speaking with Derrick, I realized the pressure he had, the weight that was on his shoulders,” said his head coach Derek

Kellogg. “You can already see in his demeanor that he is so much happier. I actually think this is something that brings our team closer together and helps Derrick play more freely.” Hearing that from your head coach after such a monumental decision must be flattering and touching for Gordon, who was reluctant for years to admit and embrace who he truly is. I hope the best for Gordon on and off the court, as he grows into the man he truly is. It must have been hard to come out, but even harder for him to live a lie and manage his life as a Division I basketball player, a student and a human being. Anyone who stumbles across this story should appreciate and root for Gordon as he continues his basketball career at UMass. “Before, I usually just kept to myself because I didn’t want to lie or be fake,” Gordon said. “But not anymore. I feel so good right now. It’s like this huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.” Those quotes indicate the bravery Gordon has decided to take on, and the rest of college basketball and the country should be rooting for this kid for being who he truly is. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

Heartbleed bug poses threat to all Internet users Earlier this week, experts identified a serious flaw in Internet security, that has the potential to affect virtually every user. The flaw, commonly referred to as the Heartbleed Bug, is a serious vulnerability in the commonly used OpenSSL cryptographic software library. It provides a loophole through which potential hackers can steal the protected information, under normal conditions, by the SSL/TLS encryption used to secure the Internet. According to estimates, Open SSL is used by at least 66 percent of all Internet servers. The problem was discovered by a team of security engineers at tech company Codenomicon. The team

set-up Heartbleed.com, an official website to disseminate information about the threat. According to posts on the site, this is one of the most serious threats to Internet security discovered in recent memory, one which could threaten nearly every aspect of our modern, Internet-dependent world. “The Heartbleed bug allows anyone on the Internet to read the memory of the systems protected by the vulnerable versions of the OpenSSL software,” reads a post on the site. “This compromises the secret keys used to identify the service providers and to encrypt the traffic, the names and passwords of the users and the actual content.

While technicians at affected companies scramble to mend fences on their end, it’s important for the average user to stay smart and do all they can to remain protected. David Chartier, CEO of Codenomicon, said users of affected sites should change their passwords, but only once the site administrators have appro-

In order to remain protected from attacks, Chartier and his team recommend all those who surf the web follow a few simple rules when choosing passwords: zz It’s dangerous to repeatedly use the same password or a variation of an old password. zz Create a unique username and password for each site, especially banking and email. zz Remember to regutheepochtimes.com larly change all your pass- few months. out if a site you visit reguwords.

‘Copenhagen’ to tell story of famous physicists BY JAKE JARVIS A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

M.T. Pockets Theatre continues to provide Morgantown residents with off-Broadway theater with their latest production of Michael Frayn’s “Copenhagen.” The story centers on the historic meeting of two colleagues, Werner Heisenberg and Niels Bohr, who happened to be some of the premier physicists of their time in 1941. Heisenberg is known for his uncertainty principle, which added greatly to the world of quantum mechan-

ics. He proposed an array of mathematical inequalities that helped scientists better understand particle position and momentum. In 1933, when Heisenberg won the Nobel Prize, the National Socialist German Workers’ Party also became prominent. Heisenberg was not a part of this movement and responded with “quiet interventions within the bureaucracy,” according to Encyclopedia Britannica. Bohr, known for the Bohr Model of atomic structure, was adamant in his detest for the Nazi party. He actively helped refugees escape. Joining the scientists

was Bohr’s wife Margarethe, who helps the audience interpret the physics and politics of the story. So when Heisenberg and Bohr meet up, what happens? The truth is, no one really knows. “Copenhagen” attempts to recreate possible scenarios that might have taken place. It might be safe to say that the topic of nuclear weapons, specifically atomic bombs, came up in discussion. After all, of all physics has given us, nuclear energy and weapons might be the most profitable. The play is a quiltwork

of time, stitching together past and present. This deviation from the typical linear storyline is one of the reasons director David Beach was drawn to it. “I saw ‘Copenhagen’ in London in 1999 and fell in love with the poetry, the non-linear format and the dreamlike nature of what might have been,” Beach said. “I was also drawn to the discussion of the moral implications when science mixes with politics.” Onstage will be a “jury box,” where three audience members will be invited to sit on stage and help “judge” Heisenberg

and Bohr. The play is a guised moral debate in which a correct answer is never reached. “We’ll always be uncertain (of ) what Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg actually discussed on that fall night in 1941,” Beach said in his Director’s note, “but Frayn has given us a possibility about the moral role of scientists.” Beach recently directed “Art,” which went on to compete at the Southeastern Theatre Festival after winning first at the West Virginia Theatre Association conference in 2013. Like “Copenhagen,”

“Art” is a play with three characters, a simple set and a story that tackles heavy issues people face daily. Beach said theater artists can explore human issues more deeply with this “tight focus” on the text and bringing it alive. Starring in this production are Patrick Conner, Patrick Crogan and Chris Adducchio. The show runs Friday, Saturday and April 17-19 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students.

Backstreet Boys, Avril Lavigne announce summer tour together BY WESTLEY THOMPSON A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

The year 2004 called; they want their pop music tour back. The Backstreet Boys have brought on singer Avril Lavigne as their opening act for their North American tour. The Canadian poppunk princess will be joining the boy band during May and June. After finishing up some headlining acts in South America, the 29-year-old will begin her two-month tour with the aging harmony group in Seattle, Wash., on May 22. I’m fairly sure I’m not the target demographic for this tour; in fact, I’m almost certain I’m not. That said, I’m not quite sure who is actually going to these concerts. With most of their members in their late 30s, the Backstreet Boys – or Backstreet Men, to be more accurate – don’t seem to be the tweenheartthrob group they used to be in the ’90s and early 2000s. Flashy suits and synchronized dance moves may have looked cool on

a bunch of 20-year-olds, but these are middle-aged men now. What used to be cool now just comes off as a little sad and desperate, like that guy who peaked in high school and now spends all his time in the hometown bar reliving the glory days of when he almost made it to the state championships. Boy bands aren’t really relevant any longer, especially when they are no longer boys. So, who is going to see the tour? Anyone who was a huge Backstreet Boys fan during the height of their popularity probably doesn’t have time to see them now. So, that eliminates the Backstreet Boys’ original crowd, and anyone below that age group has probably never heard of them – and if they have, they don’t care. Lavinge needs to do some reevaluation, as well. Although her tours seem to be more successful, and she isn’t quite as old as the Backstreet Boys at 29 years old, her two latest albums haven’t done well. I’ll admit, she was my “Woman Crush Wednes-

tutgen.com

day” for the better part of my early teens, but “Sk8r Boi” and “Girlfriend” don’t carry the same effect when belted out by a 30-year-old on her second marriage. Whatever happened to aging gracefully? Or better yet, accepting one’s moment in the sun and then moving on to other projects when your time on center stage is done?

wordpress.com

It’s not like the Backstreet Boys or Avril Lavigne need the money, as both have multiple chart-topping albums, and they’re all millionaires. Why not move on to other things and be remembered for how they were in their prime, rather than how they are now? They’re all talented people with capital to achieve

their goals. Maybe they should become philanthropists or producers, writers or entrepreneurs. In America, the possibilities are endless for those who have money. The Backstreet Boys and Avril Lavigne became famous during their teen years for relating to the teenage crowd. That’s what they’re known for. Try-

ing to switch demographics now does not bode well. Nonetheless, if this sounds like the type of concert you’d enjoy, the tour begins in late May. For showtimes and tickets, visit http://ticketmaster.com/ Backstreet-Boys-tickets/ artist/781254. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Review: Rob Lowe wants readers to ‘Love Life’

(AP) — When you look at actor Rob Lowe – especially on the cover of his new book, “Love Life” – you can’t help but think that guy has it all: looks, talent, a great marriage and family, and a successful career. But if you delve into his prose, you’ll likely think he’s earned it. In “Love Life,” Lowe was challenged to top his acclaimed best-seller, “Stories I Only Tell My Friends,” without relying on the safe, linear structure of an autobiography. But if there’s one thing the new book confirms, it’s how much Lowe relishes a challenge. The title is a bit of a tease. “Love Life” isn’t a noun; it’s a command. Lowe aims to inspire read-

“A Cold Beer Never Looked So Good”

ers to take chances – and appreciate what they have. Part self-help, part Acting 101, part-memoir, the book is a reflection of Lowe’s layered life. He skillfully weaves stories together with common themes and a philosophical perspective. Lowe could have written an entertaining book on life behind the scenes in Hollywood, but it’s clear he wants to connect with readers by choosing experiences that become teaching moments. The book is brimming with lessons about being present, saying “yes” to life, taking risks and getting up after failure. Fans who fear he gave up all the good stuff in the first book will be pleasantly surprised. “Love Life” is catnip for

pop culture addicts. Lowe names some names (his torturous kissing scene with singer Jewel and actor Tom Sizemore’s personal meltdown are two examples), but is coy about other famous “friends” – tantalizing readers with only hints of the players in some juicy stories. Lowe talks about the craft of acting, offering tips on how to eat, use props and ad-lib on camera. He often reminds readers that entertainment is a business and success is fleeting. That’s driven home in the failure of two shows he produced and starred in, even turning down the part Patrick Dempsey made into McDreamy in “Grey’s Anatomy” for a series that never got past a few episodes. But every experience

BEER OF THE MONTH

helps him grow. “The only time you flop is when you don’t learn something,” he writes. A contender in movies, TV and politics, Lowe meets Prince William and Kate, exchanges notes with former President Bill Clinton and pals around with scores of A-list celebrities. But instead of just name-dropping, he has a way of making the reader feel like he sneaked us in his shirt pocket and took us along for the ride. Critics may say the book is preachy. But Lowe’s candor and willingness to admit his flaws create an authentic voice. His easy writing style will hook readers who won’t judge his book by the handsome man on its cover.

Students’ music blog reaches success, connects musicians with audience BY TIFFANY BENSON A&E WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Devanne DiBacco, a senior journalism student, and Stephanie Jeanty, a New York resident, have been overwhelmed with the growth of their blog, “Lines In A Song,” which only launched a little over a year ago. Even though they are from different states, they still manage to run an incredibly successful site. “It started out, jokingly, that we would get to meet and interview bands that we’d fallen in love with,” Jeanty said. “Now, it’s becoming this bigger picture, and we’re able to be the voice for fans, like in different countries, who haven’t seen these bands yet.” The blog includes inter-

views with Kiven, American Authors, Blacklist Royals, Of Mice and Men, Alpha Rev, Nightmare Air, Tiny Ruins, City Riots, Anton Kellner & The Lone Stars, New Politics and Ron Pope. Their most recent interview was with Craig Owens, the lead singer of Chiodos. “My favorite interview right now is with Craig Owens,” Jeanty said. “It was more of getting to know a friend than getting to know a musician, which is perfect because a lot of people don’t expect that. You expect a cocky person and for someone to just say that they don’t want to answer that.” The duo spends months trying to contact bands or managers, and then, they decide on criteria on which to base their questions. “We pick bands that we

think share our kind of vision,” DiBacco said. “We don’t want musicians that are in it for the money. We want musicians that are in it because that’s what they love. They don’t make music because it’s cool. They do it because that’s how they connect with people.” The duo has even experienced being stood up by a band. They had plans with a group, and a week before the interview, the group quit speaking to them. Even with let downs such as these, they aren’t quitting. They’ve traveled all over the East Coast and have attended concerts, music festivals and even small venue shows. “We want to ask questions that the fans want to know. We want to be the voice for the person

who’s voiceless,” DiBacco said. “If it’s gotten this big so far, I can only imagine where it’s going to go from here. We can only keep going up from here, and it’s exciting.” The duo spends five to eight hours per day promoting the website via Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. They have business cards they give out to people and local businesses. DiBacco even spends time passing out flyers on WVU’s campus. And they are getting results, because each article is receiving up to 1,000 or more hits, and they now have fans on a global scale, including ones from Canada, South Korea and Australia. The most recent festival that “Lines In A Song” has covered was South By Southwest in Austin, Texas.

The show blog features reviewed performances by Jay Z, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Chromeo, Foxboro Hot Tubs, Lady Gaga and Banks. They are currently making a new website, which will feature more links to bands, have a more organized format and be able to handle all of their viewers. They have also recently put in an application to receive press passes to Lollapalooza and are going to have their first ticket giveaway contest in June. “We want to expand everything, but I think for right now we’re still trying to get the hang of having a blog,” DiBacco said. “We want to figure out our edge and get more established right now. We just want to keep writing and get more bands booked.” The duo’s dream is to

interview Fall Out Boy. The name “Lines In A Song” came from the lyrics of their chart topping song “Sugar We’re Going Down.” They believe that once that ultimate goal is reached, it will be the pinnacle of their blog. “If you want to know the music behind a band and more about bands they love, then you should spread the word,” DiBacco said. “We hope everybody likes what we write and who we interview. We want more interaction with the people who read the blog. We want to fit what the readers want, not just what we want.” For more information on the blog, visit http:// linesinasong.com. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Country singer Josh Thompson releases sophomore album, ‘Turn It Up’ Carly Smith A&E WRITER @dailyathenaeum

Country singer Josh Thompson released his second album, “Turn It Up,” at the beginning of the month. Thompson’s debut album, “Way Out Here,” was loved by fans, and country music listeners have been anticipating new music from Thompson for the last four years. “Way Out Here” included hits – such as the title track, “Beer on the Table” and “Won’t Be Lonely Long” – that did very well on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country charts. Thompson has been excited to debut his sophomore album, which includes 10 new tracks that were all co-written by him. “I can’t wait to release new music, let fans see another piece of the many sides I have yet to show, add another dimension to the live show and gain some new believers along the way,” Thompson said in a Spotify Studios video. “I’m pumped and can’t wait for you all to hear it.” “Turn It Up” was released in time to become a staple for spring and summer 2014. Many of the songs on the album are about partying, love and having fun. The upbeat tempo that his album carries is perfect to blast in your car or at a party, and many of the songs will stick with you. “Turn It Up” is a great combination of familiar country radio songs with a bit of a rock and old country influence. “It’s very lead-footed. It’s got a lot of octane in

it, you know? It’s supposed to be a feel-good record – something that you can put on, start to finish, and have a good time and party too,” Thompson told the CMT Hot 20 Countdown. “Cold Beer With Your Name On It” was Thompson’s first single of “Turn It Up.” This single was released toward the end of 2013 and has had great success. The single has gotten plenty of airplay on country radio and reached No. 32 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country songs chart. It is on par with other popular country songs, with a familiar melody and fun lyrics. “Wanted Me Gone” is Thompson’s next single of the new album. It will be released for airplay at the end of this month.

“Wanted Me Gone” has a classic southern rock feel and a twangy, genuine vibe. “Wanted Me Gone” is upbeat and powerful, with lyrics that are relatable. “Drink Drink Drink” may have a dull title, but the song is anything but. This track has a southern-rock feel as well that is reminiscent of the 1980s country-rock era. “Drink Drink Drink” puts a modern twist on a “honky-tonk” song, and the party-themed lyrics fit perfectly with the instrumentals behind them. Josh Thompson definitely impressed with his newest album, and it would not be a surprise to see his name rise alongside other huge country stars later in the year. daa&e@mail.wvu.edu

Former WVU forward Frances Silva brings the ball up the field against TCU in 2013.

Keane, Silva to take next step in careers, enter professional ranks with FC Kansas City by joe mitchin sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Two former Mountaineer women’s soccer stars will join together in the professional ranks. Former West Virginia forward Frances Silva and goalkeeper Sara Keane have officially signed contracts with FC Kansas City of the National Women’s Soccer League. FC Kansas City revealed

its roster for 2014, which featured both former Mountaineers making the team. Silva, the 2013 Big 12 Player of the Year, was drafted by the club with the 19th overall pick in the NWSL Draft in January. “I think this is a good fit for Frances,” said WVU head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown at the NWSL Draft. “She is such a technical player, and she’ll be able to do all the things (FCKC) want her to do. I was

hoping she would end up in Kansas, and I think both parties are going to be pleased with this pairing and will see success.” Silva played in 88 games in her WVU career, registering 38 goals (fourth-best in program history) and 22 assists for 98 total points. Her 15 goals and 13 assists during her senior year were both the Big 12’s best in 2013. “It’s really exciting to take the next step in my career,”

Silva said. “I’m very excited to see what this season holds for my team.” The move to Kansas City will come easily to Silva. The Overland Park, Kan., native grew up in the city’s suburbs and most recently returned home to play in the Big 12 championship last fall. “I’m excited to go home,” Silva said. “My parents have had to travel so far over my four-year WVU career, so to have the chance to play in front of my friends and family is very exciting.” For Keane, the road to the professional ranks wasn’t quite as easy. The Mt. Laurel, N.J., native went undrafted in January, but signed on the FC Kansas City roster as a camp invite. Keane was the three-year starter between the posts for West Virginia. She started in 64 games and made 224 saves in her career. The 2013 season was certainly Keane’s best, as she earned 10 of her 23 career shutouts. She’ll be remembered

in Morgantown, though, for just one moment that came in the first round of the 2013 NCAA tournament. Keane shut out visiting Rutgers for 120 minutes before saving all three of the Scarlet Knights’ penalty shots to send the Mountaineers into the second round. “I’m very excited to get the opportunity to play with such a talented team,” Keane said. “I can’t wait for the season to start to see how far this team will go. It is truly an honor to be a part of such a great club.” Both Keane and Silva led WVU to a 16-4-3 record in 2013 including a Big 12 regular-season and tournament championship. The Mountaineers fell to Virginia Tech in the second round of the NCAA tournament. FC Kansas City will open its 2014 season April 12 when the Blues host Sky Blue FC after finishing second in the league’s standings last year. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

JON FEHRENS SPORTS WRITER @DAILYATHENAEUM

Mixed results for WVU athletics in 2013-14 With only a few weeks left in the semester, I think now is a fair time to look back at West Virginia sports. What did we learn this year? Geno Smith and Tavon Austin were a hard act to follow and instability at quarterback plagued the entire team. While the 2013 football campaign may be seen as a failure, I try to be more optimistic. In several games this season, the WVU defense allowed the Mountaineers to stay competitive. We still have an elephant in the room at the quarterback position. Clint Trickett is still recovering from an offseason shoulder surgery, so head coach Dana Holgorsen has split the starting snaps between Paul Millard and JUCO transfer Skyler Howard. Whoever Holgorsen pegs as the starting quarterback could decide the fate of the Mountaineers in 2014. Moving on from football, the women’s soccer team solidified themselves as one of the nation’s top programs. Head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown cemented herself among the best soccer coaches in the country by earning Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year honors and guiding her team to consecutive regular season championships. The volleyball program took a huge step forward in Jill Kramer’s second year on the job. The Mountaineers 20-13 record was the first 20-win season since 1991 and they did it with only four seniors. Sophomores Hannah Sackett, Brittany Sample and Nikki Attea looked more comfortable in their second year inside the Big 12 Conference and helped guide freshman sensation Jordan Anderson. In her first year in collegiate play, Anderson led the team in kills and was named to the Big 12 All-Freshman team. The Big 12 is one of the most competitive leagues in the country for volleyball, but I can see that with some veteran leadership, 2014 may be a breakout year for West Virginia volleyball. The two basketball teams were polar opposites of each other. One team failed loudly, while the other quietly put together what I think was the most impressive season of any WVU team. Women’s hoops carried the hopes of the Mountaineer faithful in March for the second straight season, as the men’s team failed to qualify for the NCAA tournament. Both teams featured incredible talent. On the men’s side, Juwan Staten burst onto the national scene after leading the Big 12 in scoring for several weeks. For the women, the usual suspects produced the most for Big 12 Coach of the Year Mike Carey. Seniors Asya Bussie and Christal Caldwell anchored the defense for the Mountaineers as they went on to a Big 12 regular season title. Sophomore Bria Holmes also proved to be one of the best scorers in the league and possibly the country. Baseball is still ongoing, but things look promising for this year’s team. The Mountaineers are currently 16-12 and will continue conference play Friday. The 2013-14 season was the year of the little guys for me. Programs such as volleyball, rifle and gymnastics all had fantastic seasons while the usual heavyweights took a step back. It’s an exciting time to be a fan of the Gold and Blue now that programs everywhere seem to be exceeding expectations. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Hurlbert looks to finish WVU career on strong note by anthony pecoraro sports writer @dailyathenaeum

Senior Jessica Hurlbert of the West Virginia University rowing team will be completing her final season as a Mountaineer in just over a month, but she looked back on what being a student-athlete meant to her during the past four years at West Virginia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is very bittersweet that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a senior, (but) I

feel so fortunate to (have been given) the opportunity to be an athlete at WVU,â&#x20AC;? Hurlbert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been such a great time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of these girls will be my best friends forever, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sad, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also ready to move on.â&#x20AC;? Although rowing may seem habitual for Hurlbert now, and the friendships sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made may seem all too perfect, when Hurlbert first came to WVU, being a member of the rowing

team was not on her priority list. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been athletic my whole life, (and) my brother rowed for the University of Colorado, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of how I learned about the sport,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then, one day I was walking into the (Student Recreation Center) here, it was the first week of school, and coach Tina (Griffith) was sitting at one of the recruiting tables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She pulled me over,

so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how I found out about it and just fell in love from there.â&#x20AC;? With bonds between her Mountaineer teammates to last a lifetime, Hurlbert said in the end, waking up at 5:30 a.m. to get to practice on the Monongahela River, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too bad after all. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a nice way to wake up, honestly,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so cold, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tired, but as soon as you put the boat down on the water and get out

there, you forget about everything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then the sun rises, which is one of my favorite things to watch; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really beautiful.â&#x20AC;? Hurlbert said she understands her rowing days are numbered but is looking forward to a career in the exercise physiology field and said this major has proven to help her both in and out of the classroom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like the major

that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in, because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve related a lot of what I learned in class to the sport of rowing,â&#x20AC;? she said. With the final regattas of the season rapidly approaching, Hurlbert and her teammates, look to finish strong as they return to the water Saturday and Sunday for a two-day match at the Knecht Cup Regatta in West Windsor, N.J. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Pankey earns praise from Holgorsen, wins tackle job by greg madia multimedia editor @dailyathenaeum

Throughout the spring, West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen and his offensive staff have been tasked with evaluating position battles all over the field. Neither Paul Millard nor Skyler Howard have been given the reins at quarterback. Five running backs are still fighting for carries with no clear-cut leader. Left tackle was supposed to be up in the air, like the

quarterback and running back positions, but redshirt sophomore Adam Pankey was given an opportunity to win the job early. Pankey took full advantage of it by winning the left tackle job before the annual Gold-Blue Spring Game. When reporters asked Holgorsen about the most impressive player throughout the spring, he had a simple response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to pinpoint people, it would be Adam Pankey at left tackle,â&#x20AC;? Holgorsen said. After tearing his ACL in

spring 2013, Pankey recovered in time to play in eight games as a redshirt freshman last season. He added depth at tackle and even played at guard on occasion. In total, he was used on 126 offensive snaps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest thing was being able to get my feet wet. I got to see how fast the game is at this level, (and) it definitely helped a lot,â&#x20AC;? Pankey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know what to expect now week in and week out in the Big 12.â&#x20AC;? To prepare for the spring, Pankey had to transform his body into a typical left

tackle frame. At 6-foot-6, he turned excess weight into muscle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to work on my upper body,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still working on it. The biggest thing for me is just continuing to get stronger. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little younger than everybody else, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to work on strength even through the summer offseason.â&#x20AC;? Pankey is listed ahead of Michael Calicchio and Grant Lingafelter on the depth chart, but he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t shown any sign letting either guy take his place.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;(Pankey) has really taken to heart playing the position of left tackle and understanding how important it is,â&#x20AC;? said offensive line coach Ron Crook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still got a lot of stuff to work on, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really happy with the direction and the improvements that he is making.â&#x20AC;? The Hamilton, Ohio, native has been able to gel with returning starters this spring, gaining early continuity on the offensive line heading into the summer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to be next to someone (who is a) vet-

eran like Quinton (Spain) and Mark (Glowinski); you can learn a lot from them, (since) theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here for a long time,â&#x20AC;? Pankey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The veteran guys have really helped me out.â&#x20AC;? So while West Virginia continues to determine a starting quarterback and choose a running back, there is no question Adam Pankey will be the man protecting the blindside and creating holes for whoever is throwing and running the ball. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

LeBron says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s thrilled for UConnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kevin Ollie MIAMI (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; LeBron James remembers just about every detail from his days playing alongside Kevin Ollie in Cleveland, including that the newly crowned coach of the NCAA champions wore No. 12. Even though heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professed to rooting for Kentucky at times in the past and has a close relationship with Wildcats coach John Calipari, James raved on Tuesday about the job Ollie did while leading Connecticut to the national title. UConn topped Kentucky 60-54 on Monday night for the title, one that came in Ollieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second season on the sideline. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of respect and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very, extremely happy,â&#x20AC;? James said before he and the Miami Heat played the Brooklyn Nets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though I have a lot of Kentucky connections, with Coach Cal a very good friend of mine, I was in a win-win situation and I was extremely happy for K.O. I think it was big time.â&#x20AC;? James and Ollie were teammates in 2003-04, Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first season in the NBA. Ollie signed with the Cavaliers as a free agent just a couple weeks after James inked his rookie

deal after being taken No. 1 overall in that yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could tell he had that coaching gene in him,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, he helped us out on the floor but I think more than anything in the locker room and off the floor is where I benefited most from being around him. He just had that professionalism that you cannot get from first-, second- or third-year guys. He still looks the same in a suit on the sideline coaching for the Huskies as he did for us wearing No. 12.â&#x20AC;? James has followed Ollieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time at UConn closely, shaking his head at the notion that the Huskies originally gave him only a one-year contract and essentially told him to prove himself in a season where his team was banned from the postseason because of academicrelated sanctions. A year later, Ollie is no longer doubted and the Huskies are the national champs. To get there, Ollie led his team past ones coached by not only Calipari â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who James thinks will remain at Kentucky despite speculation otherwise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but also Saint Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Phil Martelli, Vil-

lanovaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jay Wright, Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fred Hoiberg, Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tom Izzo and Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Billy Donovan, a veritable whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-who of sideline bosses in the college game. Ollie has 52 wins in his coaching career. Those six coaches he topped in this NCAA tournament have 2,369 combined. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doubted, that can be very powerful,â&#x20AC;? James said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, K.O. was doubted and their team was doubted and once they got the confidence which was instilled by K.O., giving them that confidence. ... When you combine talent with confidence, it can do some spectacular things, which resulted in a national championship for the Huskies.â&#x20AC;?

Norris powers Athletics past Twins

Derek Norris rounds the bases after hitting a home run against the Twins. MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Derek Norris hit a three-run homer in the 11th inning, and the Oakland Athletics bounced back from another blown save by new closer Jim Johnson to beat the Minnesota Twins 7-4 on Wednesday. Jared Burton (0-1) gave up the one-out drive by Norris, who went deep on Tuesday night, too. Dan Otero (10) got the last eight outs for the victory in relief of Johnson, who has given up seven runs, nine hits and six walks in five appearances with the A’s. Oakland has eight straight wins over the Twins, all with at least seven runs. Minnesota trailed 4-0 after a rocky first inning by Phil Hughes, who needed 40 pitches to get for his first out. Jason Kubel homered in the second inning and Brian Dozier went deep in the eighth to cut into the lead. Johnson, who had 50 saves for Baltimore last season, has been hit hard in

three out of five appearances this season. He gave up the third of four hits by Kubel starting the ninth inning. With the bases loaded and one out, Johnson nearly had Eduardo Escobar struck out, but a foul tip was ruled on his two-strike swing. Escobar then poked a single to left field, cutting the Twins’ deficit to 4-3. A onehop throw to third nearly forced out Kurt Suzuki, who was ruled safe, and a video review ruled the call stood – meaning there was not “clear and convincing” evidence to overturn it. Otero replaced Johnson, and Dozier hit a sacrifice fly to right, just deep enough for Suzuki to race home and sneak a hand onto the plate in front of the tag. An umpire-initiated review confirmed the safe call, and the crowd of 22,973 cheered loudly when the video board provided the proof. Glen Perkins struck out Josh Donaldson to end the 10th inning. The Twins

closer yelled at Donaldson and the A’s third baseman gestured and shouted back. Donaldson’s path to Perkins was cut off by the Twins, but after the dugouts mostly emptied, the sides de-escalated. Donaldson hit an RBI double after Hughes walked the first two batters of the game. Brandon Moss tacked on a two-run single, and Alberto Callaspo added an RBI single. None of the hits were particularly hard, but the damage was done. After leaving the New York Yankees as a free agent for a $24 million, three-year contract with the Twins, the right-hander expressed relief to escape the pressure of the Bronx and its hitterfriendly ballpark. Hughes went 1-10 with a 6.32 ERA in 17 games at Yankee Stadium last season. But the first inning was so bad the crowd gave him three sarcastic Bronx-style cheers, the first two for strikes and the third for fan-

ning John Jaso for the first out. Hughes has given up eight runs in 10 innings over his first two starts with the Twins. Hughes walked three and struck out three in five innings, with five hits surrendered. Twins starters have one win in eight turns, with a collective 6.43 ERA. Oakland starter Jesse Chavez pitched seven smooth innings with no walks and nine strikeouts. A’s starters have allowed three runs or fewer in each of their first eight games, for a 2.02 ERA. The 30-year-old Chavez, who was solid last season in long relief, has made the transition look smooth so far. NOTES: Twins RF Oswaldo Arcia took full batting practice before the game, but his sore right wrist didn’t feel any better and he missed his fourth straight game. He’s headed for the disabled list, assistant general manager Rob Antony said.
