READY for a REMATCH
JAVIER FERNÁNDEZ / The Daily Reveille
OMAHA – For a group of pitchers identified as a person, it seems fitting that a reliever with the last name Person will toe the rubber first for the LSU baseball team on Thursday night. Senior left-hander Zac Person
will lead Jack Wholestaff into the Tigers’ (54-11) rematch against TCU at 7 p.m. at TD Ameritrade Park, looking to once again avoid elimination from the College World Series. With only two solidified starters all year, Jack, or Johnny, Wholestaff has become the term LSU coach Paul Mainieri uses
when the starter and subsequent relievers have an inning limit in midweek games or the third game of a weekend series. Mainieri usually determines how long each pitcher goes based on the flow of the game, but he acknowledged Person (2-0, 3.34 ERA) could go longer because of his experience.

University professor helps redate history

In the games Mainieri has planned on using multiple pitchers, LSU is 13-0. Although Person, who hasn’t appeared since the Baton Rouge Super Regional, has become the Tigers’ setup man for most of the season, he was he was an easy choice to
Well-established facts form the foundation of scientific theory. But when new developments bring these facts into question, science as a whole progresses when research turns in another direction. For years, geologists believed the Isthmus of Panama, the thin landmass connecting North and South America, formed 3.5 million years ago. But a recent comprehensive biological study revealed the isthmus formed nearly 30 million years earlier, changing the entire outlook of evolutionary history in the Western Hemisphere. “Recently, [geologists] have been saying it is potentially a little bit older,” said Prosanta Chakrabarty, an LSU Associate

MUSIC
Louisiana-born star defies odds, continues her career BY JUSTIN DICHARIA jdicharia@lsureveille.com
Editor’s Note: This is the first part of a two-part series. Meghan Linsey jokingly claims she came out of the womb singing. Raised in Ponchatoula, Louisiana, Linsey’s voice is as unique and colorful as her birthplace. The musician’s perseverance through life’s challenges is as strong as her home state’s fortitude in the face of floodwaters and deadly winds. The 29-year-old resurrected country star from the duo Steel Magnolia has lived in Nashville
for 11 years writing music for record companies and most recently competing on NBC’s “The Voice.” Linsey was the runner-up in this season’s singing competition, having both Pharrell Williams and Blake Shelton as her vocal coaches. The blonde haired singer competed for nearly 10 months in Los Angeles, California, befriending many of her fellow contestants. “It’s a long process, and people don’t realize how much time it does take,” Linsey said. “We were all away from home at a hotel in Los Angeles for so long, so we just became family.”
In 2011, Linsey and her then-fiancé, Joshua Scott Jones, produced a country hit with “Keep on Lovin’ You.” Before a tour with Reba McEntire, Jones’ drug and alcohol addictions reached new heights, and the country star checked into a rehabilitation center in Tennessee. Two years later, Steel Magnolia officially split, and the engagement was no more. Linsey described second chances in the music industry as rare occurrences that are hardly successful. Linsey was one of the lucky ones, and “The Voice” rolled the stone away from her
musical grave. After a long year in California, Linsey now prepares to release self-written, new music within the coming weeks with her signature soulful, pop-like sound. “I really just write from experience,” Linsey said. “You have to just tell the truth, and I think that resonates with people. I’ve been through a lot and just dig deep and write it all down.” While growing up, Linsey listened to ’60s and ’70s rock ’n roll with her dad in his pickup

‘Jurassic World’ breathes new life, same feelings

Reveille The Daily
THE KATZ MEOW RILEY KATZ Writer In a love letter to fans of the series, “Jurassic World” hits all the high points with none of the low points of the second and third movies. This movie should have been the only sequel to the original “Jurassic Park.” Once you get past the question of “Why would they make another park on the same island,” the movie picks up rather smoothly. Filled with great action and a perfect blend of comedy, viewers are in for a treat. While seeing the first three movies is not necessary to enjoy this film, tiny references (and one very big one) are scattered throughout the film. The story picks up with two young brothers, one in elementary school and the other nearly off to college, on their way to Jurassic World to visit their Aunt Claire portrayed by Bryce Dallas Howard. Claire is the right hand person to park owner Simon Masrani (Irrfan Khan). At the time of the boys’ arrival, Claire is showing off a brand new species to Masrani, one so big it trumps the former mascot of the series, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. The new species is a cocktail of different dinosaurs to create a monster that exhibits all of the predator traits of the species it is created from. At the same time, Owen Grady

(Chris Pratt) is training his pack of Velociraptors to listen to command while his investor Vic Hoskins (Vincent D’Onofrio) breathes down his neck to weaponize the raptors to cut down on soldier casualties in war. During the boys’ second day in the park, the massive dinosaur is let out of its cage and left to to claim its crown as the king of the food chain. For a fourth film in the franchise, “Jurassic World” is easily the best movie since the original. It breathes new life into the series while maintaining what made the first movie so good. This movie is perfect for anyone who loved the original trilogy as well as newcomers. Riley Katz is a 20-year-old mass communication junior from New Orleans. You can reach him on Twitter @rkatz94.

THE PARTY
HAS ARRIVED LSU fans tailgate in Omaha, Neb., on Wednesday while waiting for the Tigers to take on TCU once again tonight at 7 p.m. photos by JAVIER FERNÁNDEZ jfernandez@lsureveille.com
LSU’s ‘Jack Wholestaff ’ needs to get the job done against TCU #BEWMAHA JAMES BEWERS Chief Sports Writer OMAHA – Arya Stark could learn a thing or two from LSU baseball’s Jack Wholestaff. If the “Game of Thrones” protagonist’s goal is to become a faceless man, even the Many-Faced God would be impressed with how well Wholestaff has mastered the art of being everyone and no one. Wholestaff is ambidextrous, made up of freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors. He is tall or short with long or close-cropped hair. He throws
over the top or side arm. He has a hard fastball, a deceptive changeup or a filthy curveball. Wholestaff can virtually do it all. But on Thursday night against TCU, the purple and gold faces of Wholestaff just need to do one thing – their job. It will start with a veteran face named Zac Person, the Twitter connoisseur who oozes confidence. The senior left-hander has experience pitching with his back against the wall, aiding LSU-Eunice to a junior college national championship after losing the first game of the JUCO World Series. As a predominantly lateinning reliever, he only has two starts in his career with the Tigers, but one of them came in
the Tigers’ 6-2 win against Auburn earlier this season, where he gave up just one hit in the first three innings. If he is looking as strong tonight as he did against Auburn, you may see the well-rested Person pitch longer against a predominantly left-handed lineup. Most important, though, his job is to set the tone for Wholestaff. While not for certain, the next face may be Parker Bugg, the towering righthander who has become the most reliable reliever on the team. In his last 13 1/3 innings pitched, he has allowed just one run on seven hits while striking out 15 batters. He, like Person, mostly appears late in games, even sharing some of
the closing role. Bugg slammed the door on Louisiana-Lafayette in Game 1 of the Baton Rouge Regional, retiring the side after the Cajuns tied the game in the top of the ninth inning. It may surprise some to see a setup man and a quasi-closer pitch first with the season on the line, but Mainieri may consider using his best two arms out of the bullpen if the game is tight. If Person can set the tone, Bugg’s job will be to keep the Wholestaff boat steady. The final faces could be Russell Reynolds, Jesse Stallings, Collin Strall or Alden Cartwright. The task will be to shut the Horned Frogs down in the late innings, avoiding a collapse in the final 6-9 outs.
If LSU learned anything from its last meeting with TCU, it has to be to limit extra opportunities. Certainly, the Tigers will need the offense to come to life as it did in the fourth inning against Cal State-Fullerton. But if the final faces of Wholestaff eliminate walks, hit batters and errors, the Tigers should be in good position to advance to date with Vanderbilt on Friday. Wholestaff doesn’t need to be Alex Lange. It simply needs to do its job. By the end of it, the baseball gods should be pleased.

NEONTREES Neon Trees to perform at Dixie Landin’
BY RILEY KATZ rkatz@lsureveille.com Neon Trees’ third studio album “Pop Psychology” was almost never made. Lead singer Tyler Glenn had many ill feelings about himself and music after a tour with The Offspring. At the end of the tour, the band cancelled its events for the rest of 2012 so Glenn could mend himself with therapy for the first time. After getting the help he needed, the band set out to work on the album. Now that the band is back on stage, its members are feeling better than ever. The emotion that went into the album is present on stage as they perform guitarist Chris Allen said. “Tyler is a lot more open about himself, and he likes to share that kind of message. He talks quite a bit about accepting yourself, and not waiting” Allen said. “Tyler waited 30 years to accept himself until he realized there wasn’t much to be afraid of. Now in our society, so many people have talked about not bullying and loving yourself, and I think it’s a really good time for that.” Allen said when the band’s released its most recent album the guys were going crazy with all the extra time they had.

They decided a tour would be the next best step. “We just felt like we were wasting time,” Allen said. The tour stops in Baton Rouge for the group to play a show at Blue Bayou. The band as a whole prefers venues to be a size of 1,500 attendees maximum. Allen said the intimate setting gives fans a chance to be up close and personal with the band, some-
thing not possible with bigger venues. “Since we weren’t pushing anything too big, we wanted to go out and do smaller shows to give our true fans something to remember,” Allen said. “There is just a better connection with the audience.” You can catch Neon Trees June 20 at 7 p.m., and the show is free to all who pay admission to the park.
MUSIC
Shaw Center hosts annual music technology exhibit BY RILEY KATZ rkatz@lsureveille.com NIME15 brings the combination of music, creativity and technology to the forefront to bring a distinctive, hands-on experience for exhibition goers in Baton Rouge. The 15th annual New Interfaces for Musical Expression conference and exhibition features one-of-a-kind instruments and music-creation tools from around the world to the Shaw Center for the Arts in Baton Rouge. Straying away from the experience of traditional art exhibits, NIME encourages attendees to pick up the original creations and start interacting with them. The NIME conference takes place in various big cities around the world, such as Seoul and Lon-
don. Until now, the last time the conference was in America was in 2012 when it was held in Michigan. Baton Rouge had the honor of hosting the conference this year due to the high recognition LSU programs in this field have. “We have a number of researchers and musicians that are well known all around the world,” said experimental music and digital media professor Jesse Allison . “We also have new facilities that are absolutely fantastic. As far as making the conference appealing to the international community it was a pretty easy sell,” What makes the program interesting is the variety of musical instruments as well as how they are thought up. For many of the artists, this is their medium of choice. Most of the artists have backgrounds in engineering as
well as art and decide they want to create something no one has ever seen before, Allison said. This year in particular, LSU as host of the conference decided to focus on a more centralized theme for exhibited works. “A lot of the works we ended up choosing were ones that dealt with the idea of humans interacting with computers in new and novel ways but also combine that with self expression and creativity,” said assistant professor at the school of art and the center for computation and technology Derick Ostrenko. “There are people that like to mix traditional art forms with new technology to create ‘installation art’ that focus on experience over something hung on a wall.” NIME15 runs at the Shaw Center until June 28. Admission is free to everyone.

Hyperloop highlights Apple’s arrival to streaming is too late tech advancements THE KATZ MEOW
INTO THE WOODS
JACK WOODS Sports Writer Elon Musk has already brought brilliant ideas to life. The co-founder of PayPal, Zip2 and Tesla Motors and founder of SpaceX is always up to something. His latest exploits could see one of his most brilliant ideas come to fruition. It was announced on Monday that SpaceX will be holding a contest in 2016 for independent teams of engineers and university students to design pods for a scaleddown version of the Hyperloop, a ground transportation system. Musk surely has million-dollar ideas constantly, but this one is a billion-dollar premise. His proposed high-speed transportation system would feature pods shooting down tubes with a lowlevel of pressurization and a top speed of roughly 760 miles per hour. The idea was originally posed in 2013, but the announcement of the design competition pushed the elaborate futuristic plan one step closer to reality. SpaceX will be building a track for teams to test their pods. The company is targeting next June to hold the competition. “To support this competition, SpaceX will construct a one-mile test track adjacent to our Hawthorne, California, headquarters,” read the announcement on SpaceX’s website. “Teams will be able to test their human-scale pods during a competition weekend at the track, currently target-
ed for June 2016. The knowledge gained here will continue to be open-sourced. Break a pod!” The idea of being one step closer to traveling at such rapid speeds without having to leave the ground is thrilling. But more than anything, the announcement highlights the wonderfully innovative time we live in. Not that long ago, iMacs were bulky. Now, they house everything a highly-functioning computer needs behind a relatively small, flat screen. Fifteen years ago, hardly any kid had a cell-phone. Now, 10-year-olds are glued to their devices. Cell-phones used to be the size of today’s cordless landlines in the early 2000s. In 2015, sleek smartphones now allow users to talk and text, as well as tweet, play games and instantly solve disputes with a quick Google search. Travelers were once forced to navigate using an atlas, turning pages as they crossed state lines. Now, they can merely type in an address to Google Maps or in a Garmin GPS system and be guided step-by-step to their destination. Heraclitus, a renowned Greek philosopher, said “Nothing endures but change.” His words ring true nearly 2000 years later in the world of innovation. With bright minds continuing to blaze new technological trails, ideas like the Hyperloop seem less like a dream and more like an imminent reality.

RILEY KATZ Writer
The date is October 23, 2001. Piracy is ravaging a music industry failing to change with the rise of the Internet. Steve Jobs takes the stage to talk business numbers, per usual for any sort of Apple event at the time. At the end of the keynote, though, Jobs unveiled something that would change the landscape of music consumption forever — the very first iPod. While MP3 players existed before the iPod’s announcement, the majority of consumers were still listening to CDs on portable players. Paired with the previously existing iTunes, the two were a match destined to succeed. The rest is history. Now the date is June 8, 2015, nearly 14 years after the original iPod announcement. Steve Jobs has since passed away. The “i” brand is booming and has spawned dozens of devices such as the iPhone and iPad and the multiple iterations of the iPod itself. It’s on this day that Apple wants to make an impact of the same magnitude that the iPod had on music over a decade prior. What they did, however, was less than revolutionary. The iPod’s announcement was a beacon of hope for the industry as it gave consumers a way to purchase music legally in the form of individual songs instead of entire albums. It did something different than MP3 players in the past, and that unique package made the device succeed and shoot Apple into stardom. Apple Music attempted to recapture the magic that the iPod once created for the company, but the outcome could not be more hazy. In stark contrast to the iPod, Apple Music is entering the music streaming market that already is heavily saturated by Spotify and the lesser known Tidal. Since arriving in the United States in 2011, Spotify has gained a passionate following and consumer base of around 20 million users, both free and premium subscribers. That number also marks 20 million people that Apple now needs to convince to switch over to its new service, a difficult task as Spotify users generally are happy with the service. In an attempt to bring new users to the platform, Apple is letting users try a limited, three-month

Apple CEO Tim Cook, right, hugs Beats by Dre co-founder and Apple employee Jimmy Iovine at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco June 8 where new, streaming-music service Apple Music was announced. free trial of the service that gives users access to most of the features Apple revealed on stage, but music streaming is limited to Apple Radio stations similar to Pandora. One of the bigger features subscribers can try out is Beats 1 radio, a 24/7 radio station based out of Los Angeles, London and New York City. Another feature tied into the service is the music social network titled “Connect.” If that sounds familiar, it should. The network is very similar to the failed music social network Ping that Apple pulled the plug on after only two years of operation. Ping was originally free to use for everyone, and even that was not enough to get users to keep the network alive. This gives me little faith that consumers will subscribe solely for the purpose of following artists they like, especially given the amount of social networks that musicians already post to being stronger than ever. The main issue with the free subscription is that it gives the majority of the unique features away for no money. Now the deciding factor of switching services comes down to the music library offered by each company. Spotify offers a wide range of music that seems to grow every week as new albums are released and artists are being added. Even with the wide array of artists that Spotify offers, there are a few major gaps in its library. Apple has exclusive digital rights to the entire Beatles discography, so Spotify users cannot listen to the classics unless they import them to Spotify from their personal library first. Last year, Taylor Swift pulled her entire catalogue from Spotify because

she claimed she was not getting paid enough. Apple Music will be the sole service that allows users to stream her catalogue instead of buying it. In addition, Beyoncé released her latest album in the middle of the night exclusively on iTunes. While Spotify added the album much later on, that kind of exclusive content is something users will only see on iTunes for the foreseeable future. Spotify simply does not have the money to score these exclusives. When choosing between the services, new users will choose the option with more content they like. What Apple Music boils down to is an attempt to jump on the music streaming bandwagon now that Apple sees the potential money. While Apple attempts to change the game with a 24/7 radio station and a revamp of their music social network, the novelty is lost on giving them away for free. Apple is late to the game with its take on streaming. Apple Music is not the new iPod — Spotify was when it launched. Like the iPod, Spotify changed the way people accessed and listened to music. Apple is attempting to do what Spotify already excels at instead of doing something new. Apple Music is just another service, plain and simple. Instead of being the wind of change, Apple is jumping on a trend. While most of these thoughts are strictly speculation leading up to the June 30 release, Apple lacks a killer feature that will make users migrate to the service. Because of that, Spotify can rest easy for now. Riley Katz is a 20-year-old mass communication junior from New Orleans. You can reach him on Twitter @rkatz94.

Thursday, June 18, 2015 BASEBALL, from page 1 give the ball to first. “I didn’t want to wait until the eighth inning or seventh inning to bring him in if we were losing by six runs,” Mainieri said. “I’d rather have him pitch meaningful innings when the game is still in doubt. Let’s see if he can get us off to a good start, and we’ll see where we are after the first couple of innings.” Person, who was a ninth round draft pick by the Houston Astros, also is tied for the most appearances on the team, and opponents have the lowest batting average against him among all LSU pitchers. He’ll certainly need to show off his poise against a hungry TCU team, which is coming off a gutting 1-0 loss to Vanderbilt in a winner’s bracket game Tuesday night. Horned Frog junior lefthanded pitcher Alex Young held the Commodores hitless through the first six innings before Vandy junior first baseman Zander Wiel launched a solo home run to open up the top of the seventh. Despite notching just three hits, it ended up being all the Commodores needed to send TCU to an elimination game against the Tigers. But when LSU faced the Horned Frogs on Sunday, TCU took advantage of several Tiger miscues, including four errors, five walks and three hit batters, to turn in a doubledigit run performance. Person, though, said he felt like the Horned Frogs ability to capitalize on the mistakes was bigger than the mistakes themselves.
LINSEY, from page 1 truck and ’90s contemporary and old country with her mom. She drew her musical inspiration from females such as Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton and Aretha Franklin. Starting a band at 15 years old with the help of her mom searching for band members through classified ads in the newspaper, Linsey took in the style and energy of Louisiana music, helping her find texture and color within her musical talents. “The more soulful pop stuff is where I fit better,” Linsey said. “It’s, A: really hard to be a woman in country music because they just don’t play women on country radio, and B: It’s really hard to be yourself in country music anymore. It is so narrow-minded, and you have to really cater to a certain thing to get played on the radio.” From birth to her life today, her music career has thrown its fair share of obstacles in her direction, but Linsey swears that carrying on can make dreams come true. “There are so many ups and downs. It is so much about persevering and moving forward no matter what,” she said. “I think that one minute you’re up, and the next you’re down. You think you have friends, and then you don’t. The next minute
“You don’t get to this point without capitalizing, and that’s what they’re really good at,” Person said. “They’ll drive the ball when they need to. They’ll hit to the guy they need to hit it to to get that run in, things like that. “They’re a kind of team that likes to apply pressure. If we don’t give them enough, they can’t apply any pressure, like Vanderbilt did [Wednesday] night.” No better example of not giving a team an inch to work with was what LSU freshman ace Alex Lange did in the final eight innings against Cal StateFullerton. After giving up three runs on four hits in the first inning, Lange was dominant, striking out 10 batters while allowing just two hits on his way to a complete game in the Tigers’ 5-3 win. With an adjusted lineup, which featured junior shortstop Alex Bregman in the leadoff spot, the Tigers exploded for four runs on six hits to take a 4-3 lead. In total, LSU tallied 13 hits. Although the Tigers will face TCU’s talented redshirt freshman right-hander Mitchell Traver (9-2, 1.60 ERA), Bregman said he feels the lineup is on the cusp of its first truly dominant performance in Omaha, even in a large park with a usually strong, inward wind. “We want to have a big game,” Bregman said. “We think that it is coming soon if we just keep putting together good at-bats, like we did [Wednesday].” You can reach James Bewers on Twitter @JamesBewers_TDR. they’re gone.” An LSU fan, born and raised, Linsey has a gift she said she is willing to offer the world and a home she is willing to thank for it. “I’m really proud of where

ISTHMUS, from page 1 Professor and Curator of Ichthyology at the LSU Museum of Natural Science. “We’re finding that the biology says that too. In fact, it could be three to five times older, which is a pretty big deal.” The formation of the Isthmus of Panama drastically changed the Earth’s surface. By separating the waters of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, the isthmus disrupted ocean currents and altered sea levels, resulting in climate change. Although previous studies primarily focused on the isthmus’ geological formation, Chakrabarty and his colleagues at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, American Museum of Natural History and University of Gothenburg used a different approach, combining their biological and evolutional expertise. By studying the migration of animals between the continents and their evolutionary history, the team was able to establish a detailed picture of the isthmus’ formation and its impact on the surrounding wildlife. Specifically, Chakrabarty’s research focused on the migration of marine and freshwater organisms between the two continents and their genetic relationships to each other to determine when the isthmus developed. “My role on that project was to look at all marine organisms, [saltwater] and freshwater, to look at when they connected,” Chakrabarty said. Through his research, Chakrabarty found two opposite stories surrounding the I’m from. I think that a lot of my success has to do with my support from Louisiana and my hometown.” You can reach Justin DiCharia on Twitter @JDiCharia.

LSU Associate Professor and Curator of Ichthyology at the LSU Museum of Natural Science Prosanta Chakrabarty helped redate the formation of the Isthmus of Panama. formation of the isthmus — one from the freshwater perspective and the other from the marine perspective. Chakrabarty found evidence that freshwater fish migrated to Central America much earlier than 3.5 million years ago, signaling that a landmass between the continents with freshwater must have existed before to allow movement through freshwater channels and lakes. On the freshwater side, Chakrabarty and his fellow researchers discovered this earlier migration pattern by charting the evolutionary track of two major fish families in Central America — the cichlids and poeciliids. After collecting samples from every country in Central America and sequencing their DNA, Chakrabarty and his team established their genetic relationship to one another and dated
each species after checking their skeletal development to fossil records. While the formation of the isthmus expanded the habitat for freshwater fish, it separated marine fish populations on either side. “The marine system tells us the opposite because if there is no Isthmus of Panama then they can cross freely between the Caribbean-Atlantic to the Pacific,” Chakrabarty said. “When the Isthmus of Panama formed, it cut their populations in half.” This clear separation is supported by the different evolutionary tracks populations took on either side of the Isthmus of Panama. Although the populations were originally separated by the isthmus, Chakrabarty also found that the bridge was not always a concrete divider between the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. “When the formation happened, Panama is still a really slim, little landbridge,” Chakrabarty said. “It looks like even more recently than 3.5 million years ago there were times when there was flooding that may have connected the two oceans again. It’s not quite a hard barrier. It’s a fluid and dynamic area.” After his years of researching fish in Central and South America and the Caribbean, Chakrabarty said he was not surprised with the finding of the study and will continue to examine how the evolution of freshwater fish can reflect geological changes.
