eCampus available on mobile devices

by LAcey Palmer Editor-In-Chief @LACEYPALMER

West Virginia University eCampus will be easier for students and faculty to access anywhere on campus beginning this fall.

By downloading the new Blackboard Mobile Learn app, eCampus can be ac-

cessed on iOS and Android mobile devices.

WVU Information Technology Services, formerly WVU Office of Information Technology as of this summer, is launching the app on campus.

“Both students and faculty have long requested a mobile app, so this not only meets a customer need but

also makes eCampus more convenient,” said Vicki Smith, director of communications for WVU ITS. “By downloading Blackboard Mobile Learn, users will be able to get into eCampus on their iOS and Android phones and tablets – not just laptops and desktops.”

According to Smith, Blackboard Mobile Learn

is a simple, intuitive mobile application. The app gives students access to check grades and assignments, view documents, create discussion and blog posts and complete a variety of other tasks for each course.

Instructors are also able to post announcements, view class rosters and more. Although, there will be some

course content not avaliable on the mobile app that is on a computer, Smith said.

“The mobile app is designed to supplement but not replace a PC or Mac,” Smith said. “Once users have downloaded the app, they can pay a one-time fee of $1.99 per device for unlimited access.”

For students, there will

be no more panicking over a posted grade they can’t check or a class cancellation they missed because there isn’t a nearby computer, and for instructors, posting that last minute announcement is much more convenient.

Students, community members gather in silent protest regarding tensions in Israel by alexis randolph staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Silent protestors gathered outside of the Mountainlair Saturday afternoon to express their opinion about the current tensions in Israel.

Members of the Morgantown Muslim community and the interfaith community gathered with signs in silent protest of the blockade currently in place in Palestine.

The ongoing Gaza war has resulted in over a thousand deaths, many of which are civilian, in the last three weeks.

“This is a show of support for what is happening now in Gaza. We are here in silent protest pretty much to say we want the killing to stop on both sides,” Francisco Ariet, protest organizer and member of the Morgantown Muslim community said. “We want peace talks, we want peace in Israel and Palestine, we want the blockade lifted.

We are not here to advocate any violence, also we are here to show that we are Americans that support Gaza and who support peace in the Middle East.”

Ariet said the protest was something they had little time to plan. However, he was still happy with the turnout on a Saturday afternoon.

“We kind of planned this almost at the last minute, but I really like the fact that a lot of people came out and not just Muslims,” he said. “This is

not just a Muslim issue, it is a human issue. For humanity’s sake the killing has to stop.”

With the death toll increasing daily on both sides, many are calling for peace and a peace treaty to help end the attacks.

Members of the United Nations Security Council are calling for an immediate ceasefire as well.

“We just want the fire to stop on both sides.

That is the main message here” Ariet said. “Look at the facts, look at what really is going on, we are not all terrorists, we are not all Hamas. More than a thousand people have died with Israel targeting Hamas, but many of those people have been civilians, women and children. It is also not right that Hamas has launched into Israel killing nearly 37 soldiers and three civilians.”

Ariet encouraged everyone to make their own decision based on facts and not just what has been portrayed in the media.

Ali Jarrar, a third year dentistry student and Palestinian, said he attended the protest because he felt like it was finally something he could do.

“It means a lot, it hurts me a lot that the maximum thing I can do is just this. It means a lot to me I am trying to do something for my country, but this is the maximum thing I can do” Jarrar said. “It is annoying, because I want to try and do more but this is all I can do.” danewsroom@mail.wvu.edu

CLIMB-A-THON Coopers Rock Climbing Guides hosts Climb-a-Thon to raise money for charity and teach others their sport

JOHNNIE ARMES/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Coopers Rock Climb-a-Thon climbers had the opportunity to challenge their skills on beginner, intermediate and advanced courses.

by jake JArvis A&E editor @jakejarvisWVU

The third annual Climba-thon was hosted by the Coopers Rock Climbing Guides at Coopers Rock on Saturday. Much like a walk-a-thon, 41 participants climbed to raise money for charity. $4,050 was raised which will go to benefit the Coopers Rock Foundation and Paradox Sports.

“We just wanted to try and give back and do something good with the skill set that we have,” said Andy Hershey, the owner of Coopers Rock Climbing Guides. “It was an idea that came to me when I was probably over caffeinated at one point.”

Each participant paid $25 to register. From there, they were each set up with their own personal fundraising page to share on social media.

All of the registration fees, $1,025 in total, will benefit the Coopers Rock Foundation. The rest, $3,025, will go toward Paradox Sports.

Prizes were awarded to the top male and female climbers as well as the person who raised the most money.

Hershey said the event was capped at 50 participants but he thought the event went “exceptionally well.”

“This is the third time we’ve done [the climb-athon],” Hershey said. “My wife and ,I who organize [the climb-a-thon], were just busy and too tired last year and didn’t get it done.”

Hershey said each time they learn from their mistakes and the event grows.

“The first year we had a small group of I believe 10 climbers and then the second year we had 28 and raised a little over $2000,” Hershey said.

He said that the online registration made it easier for people to register and to fundraise.

Hershey said the 2011 Climb-a-Thon was a spur of the moment idea. Only three weeks before the event, Hershey and his wife sent out the information and tried to gather participants.

That year, funds raised were donated to Love 146, a non-profit organization fighting to end child trafficking.

In 2012, the proceeds were donated to a charity in Garrett County, Maryland, that feeds food insecure youth in the region.

Hershey said he and his wife spent a long time searching for the perfect organization to “stand behind” and put their efforts foward. Paradox Sports was chosen because of how it aligns with Hershey’s beliefs and goals.

This organization attempts to provide the tools to make adaptive outdoor exploration a reality. The Climb-a-Thon was open to all ability levels, a nudge to Paradox Sports’ efforts.

“We had some pretty good excitement, a lot of people got fired-up about the event, but also about helping Paradox Sports,” Hershey said. “I think we will be able to increase the numbers and the amount

Hershey hopes to host an adaptive climbing event next spring.

Student asks for assistance via website after car accident leaves him injured by hannah wigal Staff writer @dailyathenaeum

The family of West Virginia University student, Steve Judy, is in need of donations to pay for expenses involving a single car accident.

The crash took place on July 16 and Judy was lifeflighted to the Charleston Area Medical Center.

Judy suffered various injuries in the accident, including temporary paralysis of his right leg and cervical spine injuries.

“It’s really hard when you’re in this type of situation, and it’s scary when you don’t know what’s going on with your own body,” Judy said. “You don’t know if you’ll ever be the same person because of one stupid thing you did.”

He has been hospitalized since the accident for healing and rehabilitation pur-

poses and Judy is scheduled to be released within two weeks.

Judy is now on the rehabilitation floor at CAMC where he is working hard every day to recover while remaining optimistic.

“The thing that has helped me the most is staying motivated and happy,” he said. “The sadder you are the less you will progress, you have to push every day.”

Judy said he pushes himself because he believes happiness is the cure for any situation.

Judy turned 19 three days after the accident and as a result lost some of his medical insurance coverage.

Judy’s mother, Stephanie, is a single mother of three and works to provide for her family.

However in order to comfort her son and be with him throughout his

hospitalization, she has missed work for several weeks.

The family is in need of assistance to pay for necessities such as rent, groceries and medical bills while Judy’s mother is away from work.

There may also be expenses to make the family’s home more accessible for Judy when he is released from the hospital.

The family has set up an online “Go Fund Me” website and they are hoping to receive donations to offset the expenses involving the accident.

“We don’t mind what we get, we appreciate any donations,” Judy said.

The family has received over $2,000, but is still in need of donations.

Judy said any extra money donated will be used to pay for medical equipment such as braces or will be used toward the

Scientists confirm existence of 2007 WVU student’s discovery of radio pulses by alexis randolph staff writer @dailyathenaeum

Groundbreaking radio wave research has been one of the main focuses of the West Virginia University Department of Physics and Astronomy since a major discovery made by an undergraduate researcher in 2007.

Recent publications from scientists in Puerto Rico have confirmed a discovery made by David Narkevic in 2007. Then a physics and political science student

from Philippi, West Virginia, Narkevic discovered short milliseconds long bursts of light that have been connected with radio waves.

At the time Narkevic showed his findings to WVU astrophysics professor Duncan Lorimer.

“I remember working on this research with an undergraduate (Narkevic) and discovering the bursts.

They only lasted for about 5 milliseconds and then disappeared, but I could tell they were appearing well beyond the Milky Way,” he

said.

With very little known about these bursts and where they are coming from, researchers around the world are looking into these radio bursts, with WVU being a big part of this.

Lorimer, who is currently in Australia working at the Parkes Observatory, said this research has always been a great part of the opportunities for students within the department.

“Research opportunities like this are always great for undergraduates. I think it is great that the University has

given us the opportunity to do research and that we can share that opportunity with students,” Lorimer said.

“It is an incredible opportunity for students even as undergraduates. This goes to show that you don’t need a PhD to be able to make a significant difference in research.”

Lorimer said research is just one of the few options available. Another opportunity for students involves study abroad trips, including one to Australia where the Parkes telescope, which first observed the bursts, is

located.

“The department has many different research projects and emphases that students can get involved in. We have several astronomers and astrophysicists working in their own specialty,” Lorimer said. “We have a lot of options and points of interest for students to get involved with.”

The question of where these bursts come from is the most important at this point according to Lorimer.

Once the location is discovered, they will begin to determine exactly what they

are.

Maura McLaughlin, a professor at WVU, is also helping with the research and work to discover exactly what is happening with these bursts. Both Lorimer and McLaughlin are part of an international collaboration on discovering exactly what and where these bursts are.

Israel unleashes heaviest air and artillery assault of Gaza war Tuesday, destroys key symbols of Hamas control GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Israel unleashed its heaviest air and artillery assault of the Gaza war on Tuesday, destroying key symbols of Hamas control, shutting down the territory’s only power plant and leaving at least 128 Palestinians dead on the bloodiest day of the 22-day conflict.

Despite devastating blows that left the packed territory’s 1.7 million people cut off from power and water and sent the overall death toll soaring past 1,200, Hamas’ shadowy military leader remained defiant as he insisted that the Islamic militants would not cease fire until its demands are met.

The comments by Mohammed Deif in an audiotape broadcast on a Hamas satellite TV channel cast new doubt on international cease-fire efforts. Aides to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said Egypt was trying to bring Israeli and Palestinian delegations together in Cairo for new talks in which Hamas would be presented this time as part of the Palestinian team.

Israel’s final objective in Gaza remained unclear a day after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Israelis to be prepared for a “prolonged” war.

Netanyahu is under pressure from hawkish members of his coalition to topple Hamas in an all-out offensive, but has not let on whether he plans to go beyond destroying Hamas rocket launchers, weapons depots and military tunnels used to infiltrate Israel and

smuggle weapons.

Dozens of Israeli airstrikes and heavy tank shelling hit areas across Gaza, which was plunged into complete darkness Tuesday night after a strike on its sole power plant set a fuel tank ablaze.

In the sprawling Jebaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, at least 24 people - 10 of them from the same family - were killed and dozens wounded in a barrage of tank fire, Hamas health officials said.

“Tanks were firing in all directions and shrapnel was flying,” said Moussa al-Mabhouh, a volunteer for Gaza’s Civil Defense.

“Smoke was rising from houses and from nearby workshops.”

In one incident, shrapnel from a strike in Jebaliya hit near a car with U.N. markings, killing an employee of a U.N. aid agency and his brother, and wounding the man’s 12-year-old son, said agency spokesman Adnan Abu Hasna.

The Israeli military has said it is targeting Hamas command centers, along with rocket launchers and weapons arsenals, but has not provided explanations when asked about specific strikes in which many members of a single family were killed.

On Tuesday, multiple members of at least five families were pulled from the rubble after airstrikes and tank shells struck their homes, including the mayor of the Bureij refugee camp, his 70-year-old father and three relatives, according to Palestinian health officials.

In all, at least 1,229 Palestinians have been killed, including 128 on Tuesday, making it the single deadliest day since the start of fighting on July 8, said Palestinian health official Ashraf al-Kidra. More than 7,000 have been wounded, he said.

Israel says it has lost 53 soldiers, along with two Israeli civilians and a Thai national.

Despite the heavy Palestinian losses, Deif, the commander of the Hamas military wing, said fighting would continue. “There is not going to be a cease-fire as long as the demands of our people are not fulfilled,” he said.

Hamas has demanded that Israel and Egypt lift a border blockade they imposed on Gaza after Hamas seized the territory in 2007.

Over the past year, Egypt has further tightened restrictions, shutting down hundreds of smuggling tunnels under the EgyptGaza border that had provide crucial tax income to Hamas. The closure of the tunnels drove Hamas into a severe financial crisis.

Deif ’s voice was recognizable in the audio statement on Al-Aqsa TV. He has survived repeated Israeli assassination attempts and has operated from hiding for years.

Al-Aqsa also broadcast a videotape it said showed an infiltration by Hamas fighters into Israel on Monday through a border tunnel.

The footage showed armed Palestinians climbing out of a hole in the ground and attacking an Israeli guard

post near the border. They were then seen fleeing back down the hole.

The Israeli military said Hamas infiltrated Israeli territory near a communal farm and killed five soldiers on guard nearby. A Hamas gunman was also killed in the attack. Israeli media reported a soldier shot and killed him while he was dragging one of the bodies back to the tunnel.

The military said Palestinian militants fired at least 64 rockets Tuesday at Israeli cities.

Israel has said its troops will not leave Gaza until they have demolished the sophisticated network of Hamas attack tunnels under the Gaza-Israel border and inflicted major damage on the group’s arsenal and rocket launchers.

Meanwhile, the miserable living condition of Gaza’s 1.7 million people deteriorated even further after two Israeli tank shells struck one of three fuel tanks of Gaza’s only power plant. The hit set off a massive fire, and a column of thick putrid smoke rose

from the site for hours.

“We need at least one year to repair the power plant, the turbines, the fuel tanks and the control room,” said Fathi Sheik Khalil of the Gaza Energy Authority. “Everything was burned.”

The shutdown meant that Gaza has an 80 percent deficit of electricity, said Sari Bashi of the Israeli rights group Gisha. Widespread power outages also disrupt water supplies because electricity is needed to operate water pumps.

In Gaza, about 1.2 million have no access to running water, she said.

Maher Salem of the utilities department in the Gaza City municipality said about 600,000 of the city’s 800,000 residents were facing water problems.

“But the most catastrophic issue for us, which is the ticking bomb, is that once we have run out of fuel (for back-up generators), we have to shut down the waste water treatment,” he said, adding that fuel would last up to four more days.

In Washington, State De-

partment spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the Obama administration urges “all parties to respect the civilian nature of these facilities.” The Israeli military has not commented on the shelling of the power plant.

Earlier Tuesday, Israeli warplanes carried out dozens of attacks, leveling the home of the top Hamas leader in Gaza, Ismail Haniyeh, and damaging the offices of the movement’s Al-Aqsa satellite TV station, a central mosque in Gaza City and government offices.

Haniyeh’s house, in a narrow alley of the Shati refugee camp, was reduced to rubble but no one was hurt. Residents placed a large framed portrait of Haniyeh atop the wreckage and draped it with green Hamas flags and Palestinian national banners.

Israel has targeted several homes of Hamas leaders but so far none has been killed. Haniyeh said in a statement Tuesday that “destroying stones will not break our determination.”

FELLOW

a great opportunity.

“Those of us who are fellows in both societies ought to have a special responsibility for bridging both disciplines,” Dadyburjor said.

Currently, Dadyburjor’s research focuses on converting natural gas and similar feedstocks such as coal or biomass into liquid fuels. However, his research into the field of catalysis and chemical reaction engineering was a significant factor for being named a Fellow.

Dadyburjor urges all students to do what they can to become successful in the field of science. He held the previous position of department chair from 1999-2009.

He offers some advice.

“First, at the lower levels, take the most rigorous classes for which you are eligible. Second, embrace courses unrelated to your major: for chemistry and chemical engineering, it would be the humanities.

Third, spend your summers doing foundational work.

Lastly, do what you can to improve communication skills, both written and oral,” Dadyburjor said.

Dadyburjor’s contributions to the field of chemistry show that WVU’s research facilities can compete among the top facilities in the world.

“It shows that WVU is a research University, and that its faculty are among the best in the nation,” Gupta said.

Gupta also speaks on behalf of the chemical engineering department. “It says that the department has faculty who are outstanding achievers in their contributions to the profession and society.”

Dadyburjor is a councilor of the Pittsburgh Local Section of the Institute. In 2015, he will serve as its student liaison.

when it is avaliable.

Many may be concerned about the possibility of techonology glitches or things of that nature within the app, but according to Smith, the app should function quite smoothly.

“We don’t anticipate any problems,” Smith said.

“We’re currently doing final testing on the app before the official rollout.”

According to Blackboard Mobile’s website, the app is about “giving you the power to engage everyone on their

terms and devices, offering instant access to the information you need and encouraging the interaction you crave, and with tools like this, we can build a better education experience for everyone, everywhere, any time.”

To learn more about the app, visit http://itnews. blogs.wvu.edu/ or http:// www.blackboard.com/Platforms/Mobile/Overview. aspx.

Continued from page 1 Its purpose is to provide access to research related to the field of chemistry through the use of databases, scholarly journals, and scientific conferences.

Dadyburjor is one of about 100 that were inducted as a fellow this year. His scientific accomplishments and research endeavors, as well as his already standing position as Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, contributed to his selection.

“Very few professors receive an accomplishment of this magnitude,” Gupta said.

Fewer than 20 professionals have ever been named both a Fellow of the American Chemical Society and a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers. Dadyburjor sees it as

New Kardashian app addicting to users ‘The Pink Party’ to

benefit Bonnie’s Bus, aid breast cancer by erika Bibbee A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

www.thedailybeast.com

jake jarvis A&E Editor @jakejarvisWVU

The Kardashian empire seems to know no bounds.

Through television, fashion and recent music ventures with Kim’s husband Kanye West, the Kardashian name is dominating popular culture.

I’ll admit that I haven’t hopped on the Kardashian ship, and instead choose to laugh at their celebrity. After all, what talent does Kim really possess other than her beauty?

When the Kim Kardashian: Hollywood app came out, I was baffled. Really Kim, gaming?

Within days of its June 25 release, I saw tweets appearing on my newsfeed of friends playing the game.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Water even seems to be in on the action. The twitter account, @ EPAWater, “I’m now a C-list celebrity in Kim Kardashian Hollywood.”

Later, the account tweeted

an apology.

During a phone call with my mother, she asked if I had heard of “that new Kardashian game.” Apparently she’s a B-lister.

I was intrigued that so many people seem to be playing the game and speculated at what the app might offer. On a whim, I downloaded it with intentions of poking fun at it.

Five days later and I’m an A-List celebrity with a vacation house in Miami and over 10 million fans.

The objective of the game is to gain fans and create a name for yourself in the whizzing world of Hollywood. To do this, one must complete photoshoots, date celebrities, make appearances and network with potential business partners.

A character is given limited energy to complete a task.

Once energy is low or empty, a character must wait for it to refill. In the meantime, the deadline for completing tasks quickly approaches.

Upgrades in energy can be purchased in the app for any-

where from $4.99 to upwards of $99.99.

Say what you want about Kim, but the Kim Kardashian Hollywood app is a success both in the gamer’s experience and the profit it brings out.

The app was released

by Glu Mobile. Its release sent stocks in the company sky-rocketing “It might be our biggest game of the year,” said Niccolo de Masi, the Chief Executive Officer for Glue Mobile, in an interview with Bloomberg. “We’re not surprised.

Kim is a one-of-a-kind talent with an incredibly precise fit to the game engine that we tailored but already had in the company.”

Douglas Creutz, an analyst with Cowen & Co. in New York, estimates that the annual revenue from the app could be upwards of $200 million.

I consider myself a frugal person and rarely like to spend money on non-essential goods, but I’ve already spent over $20 in the game.

How can this game hook so

many people?

Lindsey Weber, a writer at Vulture.com, outline why the app is so successful. Part of her reasoning is the app presents a parody take on the popular culture’s expectation of celebrities.

One reason I’ve become addicted to it is because of how readily available new tasks become. Finish your photoshoot early? No worries, you’ve got a national spread to start working on and have an hour to finish it.

There have been some attempts to cheat the game into giving you more energy. One popular attempt is to close the app completely, change your phone’s time to a few hours forward and reopen the app. Though some have been successful with this attempt, my iPad hasn’t been duped yet.

Kim Kardashian: Hollywood deserves every bit of success it gets. Until a new game is released, we’ll all be fighting Willow Pape one high heel at a time. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

The Bonnie Wells Mobile Mammography Program, or Bonnie’s Bus for short, will be teaming up with Morgantown’s Bartini to host ‘The Pink Party’ on Monday, Aug 4.

Bonnie’s Bus travels across West Virginia providing breast cancer screening for women in the communities where they live. All net proceeds from this event will benefit Bonnie’s Bus. The program started in 2009 when Ben and Jo Statler made a gift in honor of Jo’s mother, Bonnie Wells Wilson, who died of breast cancer.

Since then, this program between the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center and WVU Healthcare has provided over 6,000 mammograms to West Virginia women. Most of these women are uninsured and unable to cover the cost of a mammogram.

At the event The Soul Miners will perform.

This band was listed in a Morgantown Magazine as a ‘Best of Morgantown’ award winner in 2013 and 2014 for best band.

Also performing will be a tap dancing group, The String of Pearls. It will feature local women between the ages of fifty-two and seventy-nine. Throughout the evening there will

be silent and live auction offerings.

Sara Jane Gainor is the Director of the Bonnie’s Bus Program. She works for Cancer Prevention and Control at the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center.

“We are grateful for all the sponsors and those who have volunteered and purchased tickets,” Gainor said.

This is the first year the Pink Party has been held to benefit Bonnie’s Bus. Last year’s proceeds went to the Betty Puskar Care Center.

‘The Pink Party will be held at Bartini, located at the Suncrest Towne Centre in Morgantown. Bartini is a sponsor for the benefit, along with Laurita Energy.

To purchase tickets ahead of time, visit this website http://wvucanc e r. o r g / b o n n i e / p i n kparty14. You can also visit this website if you would like to become a sponsor for Bonnie’s Bus. Tickets will be available at the door. General admission is $65 and VIP admission is $85.

Jack White delivers blend of sounds with new album, ‘Lazaretto’ by mitchell glazier A&E Writer @dailyathenaeum

Jack White’s second studio album “Lazaretto” reigned over Billboard and national rock charts upon its debut in June.

With heavy synth-infused ballads reminiscent of 80’s rock-n-roll royalty AC/DC and KISS, Jack White combines past, present and his take on future sound in his latest album.

While captivating and very futuristic, the fastpaced rock tracks pervade throughout much of “Lazaretto.” White infused the album with a rock-a-billy bluegrass influence.

This can be noted in tracks “Temporary Ground” and “Alone in My Home,” where enchanting guitar riffs and gruff southern vocals take these tracks to an undefinable level.

With profound songwriting and little clarity, Jack White’s “Lazaretto” is sure

to enchant fans forever.

The eight time Grammy winner, and Billboard-appointed #70 of the greatest guitarists of all time, is no stranger to success and strangeness. This is no teeny-bop rock record.

You can hear other eras on “Lazaretto” take form.

White takes the space of his album and works it into an otherworldly place for listeners. This space is full of sounds, both perfect and rough-hewn, but all are loved just the same.

The bluesy bluegrass track, “Entitlement,” opens with a lazy guitar solo and slides into the very human declaration: “Whenever I’m doing just as I please/Somebody cuts me down to my knees.”

These moments of clarity are accessible to listeners, who savor the easiness Jack White delivers with his distinct sound.

Many of the songs on “Lazaretto” were inspired by stories White wrote when he

was nineteen.

“I was going to throw away a bunch of it, but I was just coming up with new styles of attacking songwriting for the album,” White said in an interview with Rolling Stone in July.

Many of the tracks were inspired by relationships the singer had as a teen, both with friends and lovers, and late-night bar crawls.

In addition to the distinct sounds and otherworldly guitar work featured on the album, Jack White had a very specific visual aesthetic planned for the album. The cover, with Jack White dressed in a blue suit flanked by angels, is, even on its own, profound enough to be featured in a gallery.

White wanted to take “Lazaretto” a step further, adding holograms to the record version of the album.

This is the first time this kind of technology has been put to use on vinyl.

Lawyers in Singer case want out HONOLULU (AP) — Lawyers for a former child model accusing `X-Men’ director Bryan Singer of sex abuse said Tuesday they want to get off the case because their relationship with the accuser has deteriorated.

Attorneys Jeff Herman and Mark Gallagher filed a motion in U.S. District Court in Honolulu asking to withdraw as counsel for Michael Egan III. They say they no longer talk to Egan except through a new lawyer.

Egan, now 31, accuses Singer in a lawsuit of sexually abusing him during trips to Hawaii when he was 17 in 1999. Singer has denied the allegations.

The California law firm cited in the filing as representing Egan declined to comment.

Gallagher declined to comment, directing questions to Herman. Herman did not immediately return a message from The Associated Press.

Singer’s lawyer, Marty Singer, said in a statement that Egan’s lawyers were willing to settle the case for a low amount, demonstrating a “lack of confidence in their chances for success.” The amount was not specified.

“Bryan and his team will continue to fight to clear his name and intend to pursue charges of malicious prosecution against Egan,” Marty

Singer said.

Gallagher and Herman said in their filing that their relationship with Egan “has broken down completely and cannot be repaired.”

The lawyers said they could not give a full explanation except under seal.

Egan previously dropped three similar Hawaii lawsuits against other Hollywood figures. One of the men, former network television executive Garth Ancier, responded with a malicious prosecution lawsuit against Egan, saying the accusations damaged his reputation.

The lawsuits were filed un-

der an unusual state law that created a window for civil cases in sex abuse cases where the statute of limitations has passed.

The lawyer shuffle in Egan’s case against Singer comes as the court is scheduled to consider a motion from Singer to dismiss the case Sept. 9.

As part of that motion, Singer filed a signed declaration saying he was never in Hawaii during the time Egan claimed in the lawsuit and didn’t have sexual contact with him. Singer said he was working on the first “XMen” film in the Toronto are at the time.

Tax inversion hits home with Mylan Senator Manchin recently renounced his daughter’s action in helping Mylan complete a tax inversion.

Tax inversion is a hotly debated issue with both Democrats and Republicans.

Tax inversion is a common practice among businesses to reduce spending on taxes. Businesses are acting out of the best concern for their investors.

If you aren’t up to speed with tax inversion, here’s a quick summary.

The domicile is where a coporation is technically located — think of this as a “home base.” A corporation takes up residence anywhere in the world where business takes

place.

Nearly all countries tax a corporation on profits made within the country’s borders, but the US is one of the few countries to tax a business’s profits made around the world In laymans’ terms, if a corporation has its domicile in US, our government can tax it for business made in Cambodia.

Frequently, businesses move their domicile to other countries, especially the Netherlands, in an attempt to escape these tax laws.

A corporation who moves its domicile out of the US will still pay the IRS State and Federal taxes for all business conducted within our borders.

Many are quick to jump

the gun and suggest that this is one of many attempts for corporations and their leaders to escape the responsibility of paying taxes.

Jacob Lew of the Washington Post suggested that by allowing businesses to shift their domicile overseas, a greater burden is placed on small businesses.

This and arguments like it are a ploy to sway the uninformed reader with fear.

Though this problem may seem far from home, it is not Holding a company hostage is not the way to tell future corporations that America’s doors are open for business. There is a fine line between being “business friendly” and allowing businesses to rule over legislation.

Our tax code was last overhauled in 1986, and since then other countries have lowered their corporate tax rates but we have not.

According to the US Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, US corporate taxes are the highest in the world, three times higher than competitor countries in Europe and Asia.

The US government should not act in a vaccuum when considering tax laws and must take the entire landscape into account.

Many have said that corporations need to return to their former “economic patriotism.”

A bill by Senator Carl Levin aims to stop tax in-

version. The bill aims to make it so if 50 percent of the ownership is in the US and 25 percent of the corporation’s employees, sales or assets are in the US, the IRS can reverse the tax inversion.

We need to ask ourselves: what makes America such a great place to do business?

There are many answers to this question. Forbes, in Dec. 2013, ranked the US as the 14th best country to do business. They based this ranking off of GDP growth, GDP per capita, trade balance and the country’s population.

With these numbers aside, we know that the US has an important and vital role in world economics.

Our country has some

of the finest research Universities the world has to offer. Our government is making strides to being an environmentally friendly nation which will prove to be a source of economic growth.

And above all, the American people respect and stand by a business with sound political and social choices.

Manchin’s remarks a re u n d e r s t a n d a b l e.

There is an enormous pressure on lawmakers to stop big businesses from taking advantage of loopholes.

With this complex tax code, it’s important to remember the end goal: returning US to its former state of being a premiere place for business.

Court may have paved way for same-sex marriage in West Virginia Jake Jarvis A&E Editor @jakejarvisWVU

The day is (almost) here.

You can post hateful messages on Facebook, sigh when you see it on the news and even write to your congressmen – marriage equality will happen.

I consider it a privilege and a great responsibility to be an openly gay member of the Daily Athenaeum. When tasked with writing a weekly column that takes an opinion on current affairs, my interests cast a wide net.

Sometimes it’s political, environmental or everyday life experiences. Throughout the past weeks there have been countless times I’ve felt compelled to write about marriage equality but didn’t. Each time I said to myself, “Wait for it, just wait for it.”

When something of this magnitude happens to ring my bell, I answer the call.

In a 2-1 vote, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the

Fourth Circuit struck down a ban on same-sex marriage in Virginia.

This Court presides over North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. In West Virginia, there are three couples suing for marriage equality, specifically that a ban from 2,000 on same-sex marriage is unconstitutional.

Judge Henry F. Floyd wrote the majority opinion in the Virginia case.

“We recognize that samesex marriage makes some people deeply uncomfortable. However, inertia and apprehension are not legitimate bases for denying same-sex couples due process and equal protection of the laws,” he wrote.

That’s right, Judge Floyd, there is inertia behind the movement.

I remember as a child being afraid of everything at recess: the tire swing, the ‘big slide’ and being hit by the ball during a game. But we outgrow these fears, in part because we learn to prevent injury.

Hold on tight. Have a friend catch you. Cover

your face.

But what scared me the most was locking fingers with a classmate and spinning around and around.

We’ve all done it. I could feel the inertia and feared the imminent – what if she let go? Where would I land?

The apprehension Judge Floyd writes of is nothing more than a childish fear.

Our country has locked hands with one another in debate and we’re spinning

faster and faster. Many conservatives fear of where our country will land when the final decision comes down.

But this is not a childhood game that we’re playing.

Our courts are deciding the fate of countless individuals across the country.

These individuals are seeking marriage equality to legitimize their experience as Americans. For those that feel threatened by a same-

sex marriage – don’t.

Change in legislation may seem like it’s happening overnight, but change in the hearts of Americans isn’t so easily won. There’s been mudslinging on both sides. But let’s not let pride get in the way of change.

So I come to those who fear marriage equality waving an olive branch. The day is coming. I welcome you to a new and changing world that may seem scary at

times. But like at recess, we can overcome these fears.

Hold on tight to what you know to be the American Dream, but let it be accessible to everyone.

This means everyone deserves a partner in life to walk beside them during the good days and the bad.

Gender doesn’t change a thing.

Have a friend catch you when you act out of fear and prejudice. This means being a big enough person to be open to new perspectives and having the patience to learn.

The last one goes to the same-sex couples that will benefit from this ruling – NEVER cover your face when the one you love makes you smile. This means have pride in who you are and whom you love.

A precedent has been set for West Virginia. I urge Judge Robert Chambers, the judge presiding over the West Virginia cases, to take the Fourth District’s lead.

It’s time to grow up, West Virginia. jajarvis@mail.wvu.edu

Michele Roberts to change the game as first female NBPA lead Taylor Jobin COlumnist

I would like to applaud the National Basketball Players Association on their groundbreaking decision to hire Michele Roberts, the first female to lead a major sports union.

Roberts is an esteemed trial lawyer with years of courtroom experience dealing with complex civil and white-collar criminal litigation. Washington Magazine called her “the finest pure trial lawyer in Washington D.C.” She will bring a culture of inclusiveness and team that was lacking in the previous leadership group, headed by the disgraced Billy Hunter.

“They’ve got their union back, and I’m going to make sure that they are empowered to take their union exactly where they want their union to go,”

Roberts said. “It’s going to be a team that’s going to empower them to be able to do their business as they decide.”

As an unabashed lover of the NBA, I was sickened by how badly the players got crushed during the last collective bargaining agreement. The owners played chess to the players’ checkers and got away with robbery. The owners said they wanted shorter contracts and 50 percent of all Basketball Related Income, up from their previous 43 percent. When the lockout ended the new CBA had shorter contracts and a 50-50 split of BRI. I wouldn’t call that a negotiation, more like an unconditional surrender. The ugly, unnecessary work stoppage impacted more than just the players’ wallets. Anyone who indirectly profits from the sport was hurt. Stadium vendors, retailers, merchandisers and referees were all negatively affected. Not to mention the months of no basket-

ball fans had to painfully endure.

This was all a product of a fragmented and nepotistically mismanaged players union.

Now Roberts can bring some stability to this captainless team. The fact that she has no prior experience with NBA negotiating makes her an even better hire in my eyes.

Wins and losses aren’t measured in points when it comes to collective bargaining.

It’s measured in dollars and cents, and that’s why the players need an ace lawyer with a background in white-collar crime. Since that ‘s, essentially, what the owners got away with the last time around.

Her being a woman only adds a new and valuable perspective that hasn’t been seen before in these types of negotiations. Her gender will hopefully give the players a needed edge in the upcoming years.

It’s a unique element for the players when they ne-

gotiate against a boardroom full of supremely wealthy and powerful men with their own interests at heart. At the very least she can be no worse than her predecessor Billy Hunter.

“I am a bad woman, but I’m not that bad,” Roberts said. “We are going to have a team, a very strong team, what I call a team of gladiators, that’s going to help these men and women, again, go in the direction they choose to go. It’s a new day. It’s not a oneperson, Superman, ‘I’ve got this.’ It’s going to be a team.”

And a team it must be if the fractured players union is to stand a chance in the next CBA negotiations that can be resumed as early as 2017. As a diehard NBA fan I can only hope that the next CBA negotiations go swimmingly and there isn’t another dreaded lockout.

The realist in me knows this wont be the case. I guess I’m just asking Roberts to creatively and self-

kaboom-magazine.com

lessly lead the players to a more prosperous future where all players are paid their market value and we have some semblance of competitive balance.

The metaphoric ball is literally in your court,

Ms. Roberts. My instincts tell me you’re the person for the job, but only time will tell. Actions speak louder than words, but that’s why we play the game. daperspectives@mail.wvu.edu

WVU Press returns to old home by nicole curtin A&E writer @dailyathenaeum

The West Virginia University Press began in the 1960’s and has spent the last 15 years located in the Eberly College at WVU. Now it is moving back to its original home: the WVU Libraries.

There are 140 university presses through the American Association of University Presses and the WVU Press is considered one of the smaller presses.

After its initial start, the University decided to reestablish its activities in 1999, which is where it started in the Eberly College.

The move will make the authors and directors more accessible to the public.

Dean of Libraries, Jon Cawthorne, said he thinks this move will benefit the press.

“The reason this is really important is because of the 140 other presses, there are only 25 that report up through libraries,” Cawthorne said.

“It’s really a good thing that this is happening and I’m just glad I can be here to make it happen.”

The Press publishes books about a wide variety of subjects including West Virginia and Appalachian history, art, African-American history, literature and nature.

Recent titles include “Thunder on the Mountain,” about the Massey Energy coal mine accident, “Just Three Minutes Please,” about West Virginia Public Radio, “Monongah,” about the 1907 mine disaster in Monongalia County, and “The Backyard Brawl,” stories from the WVU

vs Pitt rivalry.

These, among others, could only be possible with the Press, according to Cawthorne.

“We put out maybe 17 to 20 books a year, but they’re high quality books of course,” Cawthorne said. “The thing about university presses is they really publish books that may not be published anywhere else.”

Ken Sullivan, executive director of the West Virginia Humanities Council, has been

working with the council to support the Press for many years.

“A great university deserves a great press, in fact, I would say a great university requires a great press,” Sullivan said.

“Its contribution to the intellectual enterprise can’t be overestimated, whether in our case that means meeting the publishing needs of WVU faculty or of scholars at other institutions who may have something to say of interest to West Virginians.”

University presses are not only important to the school itself but also to the people of the state and others who purchase and read these books.

Cawthorne said his goal is to try and expand the Press in the coming years.

“It’s not really the West Virginia University Press, it’s really the Press for West Virginia,” Cawthorne said. “We see it as a service, how can we grow the Press to be distinguished, maybe we can be the example to have a press

come through the library and be successful.”

Sullivan said Cawthorne can recall a time when a history book for classes was published in another state.

“I remember years ago, before we had a WVU Press, that Otis Rice’s great history of West Virginia was always published by the University Press of Kentucky,” Sullivan said.

“This was the book most commonly used to teach West Virginia history at the college level, and Dr. Rice thought it was so ironic that it said ‘West Virginia’ on the front and ‘Kentucky’ on the spine.”

WVU has supported the Press, according to Cawthorne, giving it funding and other necessary help. Sullivan said he is looking for a bright future with the WVU Press moving to the libraries.

“I’ve had the chance to discuss the Press’s future with Dean Cawthorne,” Sullivan said. “I appreciate his enthusiasm for WVU Press and look forward to working with him to help ensure its continued success.”

‘Guardians’ blasts Marvel in a different direction BURBANK, Calif. (AP) — Despite its flawless superhero pedigree, there’s always been apprehension about “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

Since the president of Marvel Studios first teased the possibility of making a movie based on the comic book about a team of intergalactic do-gooders, the proposition has been called risky - by critics, by fans and

by Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige himself. That never mattered to writer-director James Gunn, the hor-

ror maven best known for 2006’s “Slither.”

“I could care less whether people think it’s risky,” Gunn said matterof-factly earlier this month while reclining in a cushy black chair in a screening room on the Disney lot.

It’s the same intimate theater where Gunn recently finished work on digitizing and colorizing “Guardians,” which is set for release Friday.

While the ensemble cosmic romp bears similarities to the superhero mash-

up “The Avengers,” which earned more than $1.5 billion worldwide, “Guardians” features more obscure characters from the Marvel mythos and - other than a prologue chronicling the moment Chris Pratt’s young Peter Quill is plucked from Earth — is set entirely in space.

There’s no mention of Captain America, no wink from Tony Stark, no baton passed by Thor.

“In a lot of ways, it’s not a superhero movie,” said Gunn. “It’s a space adven-

ture. We’re not just doing the Marvel thing again. It’s different. We’re expanding the Marvel universe. We’re not replicating the Marvel universe in space. We’re going about it in a different way.” Gunn paused and reclined back further in his chair. “Yeah, it’s probably risky.”

Unlike 2012’s “Avengers,” which relied on five decades of superhero history and five films to build up its team, Gunn was tasked with not only adapting a comic series that’s only a few years

old but also establishing comradery among a band of interstellar rebels that includes a lippy raccoon voiced by Bradley Cooper and a burly alien portrayed by wrestler Dave Bautista.

“It’s a challenge because nobody really knows who we are, and the cool thing about that is we’re starting from scratch,” said Bautista, who plays Drax the Destroyer. “We can make it whatever we want it to be.

The possibilities are endless when you’re talking about outer space and all these

different civilizations. It can go as far as your imagination can go.”

The movie’s only connections to Marvel’s greater cinematic universe are a more detailed look at the all-powerful Infinity Stones, as well as appearances by Thanos, the ginormous alien baddie glimpsed at the end of “Avengers.” Gunn had to fight for the brief inclusion of the latter, who was originally envisioned as the film’s main villain in a draft by co-writer Nicole Perlman.

Running back Dustin Garrison takes the hand-off during the Gold-Blue Spring Game.

Depth at running back creates litany of options for Holgorsen, Dawson and West Virginia offense

By Dillon Durst SPORTS WRITER @DailyAthenaeum

West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen mentioned at Big 12 Media Days that depth is one of the keys to being successful in the talent-loaded conference.

The fourth-year head coach doesn’t have to look far to find one of the deepest position groups in the Big 12.

It resides in his backfield.

The Mountaineers go five deep at running back, and boast a versatile blend of size, speed and power amongst them. Senior Dreamius Smith emerged as the front runner during the spring, and heads into fall camp as the starting running back.

After transferring to West Virginia from community college in 2013, Smith rushed for 494 yards on 103 carries with five touchdowns last season while sharing carries with formerWVU running back Charles Sims.

The entire nation witnessed Smith’s combination of power and breakaway speed last season against Oklahoma when he eluded several wouldbe tacklers at the line, then raced 75 yards down the sideline for a touchdown.

Now taking on more of an expanded role within the offense, Smith appears to have all the ingredients for

a breakout season in 2014.

Sophomore Wendell Smallwood figures to play a bigger role in the Mountaineers’ offense in 2014. Smallwood, who is listed as the No. 2 running back, is just as dangerous a slot receiver as he is in the backfield.

Sophomore Rushel Shell will make his debut for the Mountaineers with a lot of hype surrounding him.

Shell, who transferred to West Virginia from Pittsburgh last summer, was one of the most sought after running backs in the country coming out of high school. A former five-star prospect, Shell rushed for 641 yards and four touchdowns as a true freshman at Pittsburgh in 2012.

Juniors Dustin Garrison and Andrew Buie return to the West Virginia lineup in 2014.

Garrison, who led the team with 742 rushing yards as a true freshman in 2011, missed the majority of last season due to an injury.

Buie sat out last season with a redshirt after leading the team with 851 rushing yards as a sophomore in 2012.

Both Garrison and Buie have had breakout games over the course of their careers at West Virginia.

Garrison rushed for 291 yards on 32 carries

with two touchdowns in his first career start against Bowling Green in 2011.

Buie burst onto the national scene after tallying 281 all-purpose yards against Texas in 2012, including 63 rushing yards on seven carries and a touch-

down in the Mountaineers’ final drive to seal the victory.

Freshman Donte Thomas-Williams also joined the running back competition this summer.

Junior Cody Clay will remain the starter at the hy-

Charges against WVU RB Smallwood dropped The state of Delaware will not charge West Virginia running back Wendell Smallwood with witness intimidation in connection to a murder case.

According to WVMetroNews.com, the attorney general’s office decided to drop the felony charge against Smallwood after Zakee Lloyd, 22, admitted to the April 2012 shooting of 51-year-old Wilmington resident Manuel Oliveras on Tuesday morning.

“Since his arrest, Wendell Smallwood has been fully cooperative with the Department of Justice and Wilmington Police Department including giving a full statement regarding his involvement in witness intimidation,” said Jason Miller, spokesman for the Delaware Department of Justice.

“He was fully prepared to testify truthfully in the up-

coming trial, and his cooperation was instrumental to the State in securing today’s conviction of Zakee Lloyd.

“There is no evidence of Smallwood’s involvement in the murder of Manuel Oliveras. Moreover, despite the recorded phone call between Smallwood and Lloyd, there is no evidence that it resulted in a threat being conveyed to that witness,” Miller said.

Smallwood was arrested on July 14 in Morgantown and was transferred back to Wilmington after police alleged he attempted to persuade a murder witness to back off her statement which tied Lloyd to the shooting.

According to West Virginia’s sports information department, Smallwood will be with the team when it opens fall camp Thursday.

Receiving corps to lean on Big 12 experience

KYLE MONROE/THE DAILY ATHENAEUM

Wide receiver Kevin White tries to haul in a pass against Kansas State during the 2013 season.

By Kevin Hooker Sports Writer @DailyAthenaeum

A big reason why the West Virginia football team won only four games last year was because of the inexperience on offense.

The quarterback, running back and nearly every wide receiver played their first season in Morgantown in 2013, whether it be through transfer or as a true freshman.

Perhaps a new and unfamiliar relationship between the skill players resulted in a down year. This is an offense that finished with 28 fewer passing touchdowns than 2012 and three less rushing.

“We have all your skill players back from last year: quarterback, running backs and wide receivers. When you have all those guys that are first year players, you can’t develop a rapport with (the offense),” said head coach Dana Holgorsen at Big 12 Media Days last week.

“That’s why last year I focused more on the run game than in the past because it’s easier to (practice).”

Holgorsen has always

been a pass happy, uptempo offense kind of coach, so expect to see more passing this year with more experienced receivers.

A junior college transfer in 2013, junior Kevin White has emerged as the teams’ likely No. 1 receiver for the 2014 season.

In his debut season last year, White finished 35 catches to go along with 507 yards and a team best five receiving touchdowns. But he said he knows there’s still room to grow.

“If you look at guys like Stedman (Bailey) and Tavon (Austin) they made tremendous improvement from their first year to second year,” White said. “Even guys from other schools like Justin Blackmon and Dez Bryant, that second year, guys find a way to turn it up another level.”

White said a key to the team’s offense this year will be their ability to read defenses better.

“They’re really smart,” he said of Big 12 secondary players. “They just pick up on the little things.”

White will be joined by a returning corps that also

Alford scored two touchdowns last season and compiled a team best 552 receiving yards. Alford is a senior this year, but enrolled at WVU after two years at Georgia Military College.

Daikiel Shorts led all receivers with 45 catches as a true freshman in 2013 with two touchdowns.

The Mountaineers already have a promising, young receiving core coming back this season, but also made sure to add a few more this past offseason.

Jacob McCrary, an inside or outside receiver at the next level, Lamar Parker and Ricky Rogers will also suit up in the blue and gold this fall.

abama, Auburn, Clemson and Florida State.

Parker is also a four-star recruit and was sought after by Florida State, Ole Miss and Texas A&M. The WVU offense may still be relatively young, but one thing is for sure: second year quarterback Clint Trickett will have plenty of receivers for the 2014 season. dasports@mail.wvu.edu

Kicking game must carry momentum into 2014

By Connor Murray Sports Editor @ConnorKMurray

Nick O’Toole goes through warm-ups before a game in 2013.

FILE PHOTO

Often the forgotten unit on a roster, special teams rarely seem to garner much attention, unless of course they make a mistake.

Nothing could be further from the truth when it came to West Virginia’s kicking specialists, punter Nick O’Toole and place kicker Josh Lambert during the 2013 season.

Early in the season the attention being given to O’Toole by the media and fans alike had more to do with his facial hair than his exploits on the field.

It quickly became evident that O’Toole brought more to the table than his famed “Boomstache”. In his first year at West Virginia after transferring from Fullerton College in his native state of California, O’Toole finished No. 2 in the Big 12 in punting with an average of 44.1 yards per boot.

O’Toole earned praise from head coach Dana Holgorsen in his postgame press conferences for giving the Mountaineers a decided advantage in the field position game, something

that can turn the tide of any game in a heartbeat.

He had 26 punts that traveled more than 50 yards and pinned opponents inside their own 20-yard line 22 times during the 2013 season and was named a member of the All-Big 12 Second Team for his efforts.

The boom was not limited to O’Toole. His battery mate, place kicker Josh Lambert gained a reputation for his big leg and established himself as a reliable option for special teams coach Joe DeForest in 2013.

During his redshirt sophomore season, Lambert finished No. 4 amongst Big 12 kickers for field goals made per game, as he connected on 17 of his 23 attempts. After working through some early accuracy issues, the Garland, Texas native made good on 13 of his last 15 attempts, including a streak of 10 in a row.

Lambert led the way for West Virginia’s kickoff coverage team, which ranked No. 2 in the Big 12. He recorded 17 touchbacks in 60 kickoffs and benefited from an aggressive coverage team, averaging a net of 39.7 yards per kick.

While the Mountaineers excelled in the kicking and coverage game, they lacked consistent production from the kickoff and punt return teams.

In fact, West Virginia ranked dead last in both kickoff return and punt return average in 2013, often putting its offense behind the eight ball in field position.

Wendell Smallwood found his way onto the field during his freshman season on both punt and kickoff return teams and was the Mountaineers’ most consistent option for both.

Wide receiver Mario Alford showcased his explosiveness and big play ability at times in the return game during the 2013 season and returned the opening kickoff of the Gold-Blue Spring Game 99 yards for a touchdown.

Whether Holgorsen and DeForest are willing to risk the health of one of their top offensive weapons in the return game again in 2014 remains to be seen, but his game-breaking speed might be too much to pass up on. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu

CONNOR MURRAY SPORTS EDITOR @ConnorKMurray

Keys to success for WVU in 2014 The West Virginia Mountaineers will start fall camp tomorrow with the bad taste of a 4-8 season still lingering and a sense of optimism that only a new season can bring.

This year will be critical for head coach Dana Holgorsen, who may be on the hot seat if the Mountaineers have a repeat performance of 2013 and fail to show improvement in one of the toughest conferences in college football.

While improvement is not always measured in wins and losses, it is the most tangible thing anyone can point to in order to determine whether a team has regressed, remained stagnant or progressed.

It hasn’t been since 197879 that West Virginia has had back-to-back seasons with less than six wins. If Holgorsen doesn’t want to meet the same fate as Frank Cignetti, who was fired after those consecutive losing years, the Mountaineers will have to fight tooth and nail to reach bowl eligibility. Through our next two print editions, I will outline six keys for West Virginia to make it to six wins in 2014. Here are the first three: 1. The offensive line must keep Clint Trickett upright Led by senior Quinton Spain, who was named to the Outland Trophy Watch List a few weeks ago, West Virginia’s offensive line must do a better job of keeping its quarterback from taking hits than it did in 2013. Trickett showed what he was capable of in perhaps the only game where he was fully healthy in the Mountaineers’ early season upset of No. 11 Oklahoma State, but after sustaining a concussion and a shoulder injury that required surgery in the offseason, the Mountaineer signal caller was inconsistent and, at times, erratic. WVU’s offensive line must create a clean pocket and give Trickett time to go through his progressions with consistency if the Mountaineers are to reach the sixwin plateau in 2014.

2. Health permitting, Holgorsen must stick with one quarterback Even Dana Holgorsen himself admits the quarterback carousel the Mountaineers employed during the 2013 season wasn’t an ideal situation.

A quarterback is supposed to be a consistent voice, leading his team in the film room, during practice and in the heat of battle on Saturday afternoons.

When that voice is changed every two weeks, a team is likely to fall apart, much like the Mountaineers did in 2013. As I mentioned above, there will be plenty of reason for Holgorsen to get antsy if Trickett starts the year on a poor note.

While the temptation may be there to pull the trigger and switch signal callers if the going gets tough, if Clint Trickett is fully healthy, Holgorsen must ride the year out with QB No. 1. The progression of West Virginia’s offense lies squarely on Trickett’s surgically repaired shoulder.

3. Maturation and leadership from Trickett Clint Trickett holds the keys to Dana Holgorsen’s Air Raid attack. Whether the Mountaineers soar or crash and burn during the 2014 season will depend on how Trickett steers the ship. Holgorsen made the right move ending any speculation about who would be the Mountaineers’ starting quarterback when he tapped Trickett as the man for the job earlier this summer. As a result, Trickett has had the majority of the offseason to concentrate on developing chemistry with his battle mates on offense.

His leadership will be put to the test immediately when the Mountaineers open their season in Atlanta, Georgia, against the juggernaut that is the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Just as he has to develop as a leader, Trickett must mature as a quarterback for West Virginia to have success this season. While the offensive line has the obligation to protect him, Trickett must make the most of the time he is given.

West Virginia has the weapons to be a potent offense in 2014, whether the Mountaineers can take advantage of them has a lot to do with Trickett making smart decisions with the ball. connor.murray@mail.wvu.edu
