Longtime WVU employee retires By Summer ratcliff
City Editor @SUMMErrAtCLiFF
Faculty and staff cele-brated the retirement of Stu-dent Affairs Vice President Ken Gray at a ceremony in E. Moore Hall Friday.
For 17 years, Gray left his mark on West Virginia Uni-versity. Whether it was a student’s physical or men-tal health or their safety and overall well-being, “The General,” as he is commonly known, has impacted ev-ery area of a WVU student’s
campus life. Gray spearheaded many
new projects and revamped many long-standing areas throughout his time at WVU. These include WVUp All Night, FallFest, The Student Lot, WELLWVU: The Stu-dents’ Center of Health, the Student Rec Center, Moun-taineer Parents’ Club, Ad-venture WV and the Moun-taineer Maniacs.
“Ken Gray has helped make West Virginia Uni-versity a remarkable place. As a leader, he has helped make this place a place
where students can realize their dreams,” President E. Gordon Gee said at Gray’s retirement ceremony. “We have about 180,000 gradu-ates, and many of those have graduated under Ken Gray’s watch. So, he has much to celebrate in that regard.”
Gray, a West Virginia na-tive who received a bache-lor’s degree from West Vir-ginia State College and a law degree from WVU, returned home in 1997 after a 30-year military career.
He was commissioned as a second lieutenant from
U.S. Army ROTC and en-tered active duty in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate Gen-eral’s Corps in 1969. Gray held several significant as-signments during his mil-itary career and was pro-moted to brigadier general in 1991. He was assigned as commander of the U.S. Army Legal Services Agency and chief judge of the U.S. Army Court of Military Re-view. In 1993, he was pro-moted to major general and sworn in as assistant judge

WVU student Paige Madden wins Miss West Virginia after faring well in Mountaineer Idol

Paige Madden, a Mounds-ville, West Virginia, native and senior television jour-nalism student at West Vir-ginia University, thought she knew exactly what the next year of her life would look like.
Madden recently landed a lead role in a musical and works a part-time job at a local TV station. However, last week her plans changed when she was crowned Miss West Virginia 2014.
After watching a friend of hers compete in pageants, Madden decided to give the world of pageantry a try for herself.
After just two years of competing in pageantry, she was named Miss Southern West Virginia in August 2013, which allowed her to com-pete in the Miss West Vir-ginia Scholarship Pageant.
In November 2013, Mad-den also displayed her vocal skills in WVU’s Mountaineer Idol competition, which pro-vided more practice for the pageant.
“I wasn’t expecting this at all, honestly. I’m humbled and elated,” she said.
Madden’s platform, “Si-lence Hides Violence: Em-powering Women in Abusive Situations”, builds on her late grandmother, Donna Mad-den’s, domestic violence ad-vocacy and state policy work.
“She left behind a legacy, and I strive to be a continua-tion of that legacy,” she said. “I’ve witnessed domestic vi-olence in very personal cir-cumstances. My goal is sim-ply to make the state and nation more aware of this
relatively hidden issue.”During her travels, Mad-
den said she will focus on teaching children through-out the state that no situa-tion should ever be handled with physical altercation.
“I recognize that domes-tic violence and abuse are heavy issues, arguably too heavy for elementary school students to absorb,” she said. “My plan is to make my en-tire tour ‘hand’ themed. Whether it be hitting, shov-ing, pinching or slapping, I want to show children that their hands are meant to be used for much greater things than violence.”
In addition to travel-ing the state, Madden will now move on to repre-sent West Virginia at the Miss America pageant to be held in Atlantic City in September.
“I haven’t even been able to grasp the reality of be-ing Miss West Virginia yet. I can’t imagine what stepping on the Miss America stage will be like,” she said. “I’m thinking it’ll be something like a dream come true but live in color.”
Whether she becomes the next Miss America is yet to be seen. However, for the next year of her life she is Miss West Virginia, and that is a privilege she said she is grateful for and a journey she is ready for.
“My goal as Miss West Virginia overall is to repre-sent my state passionately, proudly and respectfully,” she said. “This state has so much potential for great-ness, and I’m dedicated to bringing out the best in its citizens.”

WVU Press authors sign copies, discuss their latest releases
By alexiS raNDOlphStAFF WritEr
@dAiLyAthEnAEUM
Late last week, West Virginia University Press authors Carter Tay-lor Seaton and Laura Long shared their stories with the Morgantown community.
The two authors read from their latest works as well as held book sign-ings around the Morgan-town area at places such as Barnes and Noble and the Monongahela Arts Gallery.
The Monongahela Arts Gallery reading on Thurs-day had an especially at-tentive crowd.
“The turnout was won-derful. It was the mid-dle of the summer, so we weren’t really sure how many people would come,” Long, author of “Out of Peel Tree” said. “They were just really wonderful listeners, and then about 20 people stayed after to talk with Carter and I and to have their books signed.”
The reading, held in as-sociation with the Mor-gantown Writers Group, also featured live mu-sic and refreshments for those in attendance.
Long, a former Mor-gantown resident, said it was great to be back in the city for the book tour.
“It was wonderful. There were wonderful audiences when I read. It was also great to meet people at the Barnes and Noble,” Long said. “I lived in Morgantown for a year and a half. It was really nice just to be there in general.”
“Out of Peel Tree” is set in West Virginia and fea-tures characters from the region who, according to Long, go out and explore other places.
Long said she felt a sense of belonging and comradery from the read-ers of Morgantown.
“People in Morgantown and in West Virginia really like books that are about being in West Virginia be-cause there is such a sense of identity and place,” she said. “It was really nice for me to talk to people who are from there because my book is about people from there.”
Long said her book strays from what is nor-mally expected of Appa-lachian writing.
“There is no one defini-tion of what is an Appala-chian writer. People here know there are a lot of dif-ferent ways to be a West Virginian, and my book is not typical Appalachian literature,” she said. “Peo-ple are very open to that. They know there are a lot of ways you can identify with West Virginia.”
WVU Press and Mor-gantown were very ac-commodating and a fun place to visit, said Long.
“It keeps changing a lot so it is always a bit of a surprise. I just find Mor-gantown a very interest-ing place to be,” she said. “I have been very happy and impressed working with WVU Press. I’m im-pressed with how well they have done my book, and their professionalism at every stage has been remarkable.”
Long’s “Out of Peel Tree” is about the life of an Appalachian family and was recently selected by Oprah’s Book Club 2.0.
Seaton read from her book “Hippie Homestead-ers: Arts, Crafts, Music, and Living on the Land in West Virginia,” which tells the story of the 1960s and 1970s land movements in West Virginia.
Seaton currently re-sides in Huntington and is a ceramic sculptor.
Their books can be pur-chased at the on-campus Barnes and Noble.

advocate General of the Army. Gray retired in 1997 from the U.S. Army’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps where he had reached the rank of major general and was the assistant judge ad-vocate general.
Gee said Gray did what
few others would do when he decided to return to WVU after a full military career.
“After retiring from the military, he could have rested on his laurels, as I think most people of that stature would have,” Gee said. “Instead, he returned to his alma mater out of love and out of duty. He wanted to give back to his home state and make a difference, and he has certainly done
just that.” Gray spoke about his
years at WVU and thanked many people who he said were the reason he saw such levels of success at the University.
He said returning to WVU and dedicating a portion of his life to the students was something he did out of love for his home state and for his alma mater.
“When I was retiring from the Army, a law school classmate told me I should do something that warms my heart,” Gray said. “Com-ing here and being around these great students and having a small role in their success really warms my heart.”
Gray encouraged the faculty to never forget their mission to keep stu-dents as their number one priority.
“This has been a great journey. I have loved every minute of it,” Gray said. “In the words of General Doug-las MacArthur, it’s time for this old soldier to fade away.”

New on-campus housing complex College Park showcases facilitiesBy haNNah WiGal
StAFF WritEr
@dAiLyAthEnAEUM
The College Park on-campus housing commu-nity held an open house Friday to showcase their fa-cilities and amenities to po-tential and future tenants.
The open house took place in the College Park clubhouse where guests could enjoy refreshments and live entertainment from the Vandalia Band.
Guests attending the event were also able to en-joy treats from The Sundae Driver ice cream truck and were able to pose for pic-tures in a photo booth.
Those in attendance were eligible to win vari-ous prizes including free rent for a year with a value of up to $569 a month.
The College Park Com-munity is a joint venture between American Cam-pus Communities and West Virginia University.
Lorie Walker has been the American Campus Communities general man-ager for five years and is ex-perienced with property management.
“Locally, I’ve been in property management for 14 years now,” she said.
Walker said College Park is grateful for the students who signed leases prior to the completion of the establishment.
“I’m excited to see every-one move in and to see ev-eryone enjoy how amazing our property is,” she said.
Walker said the College Park venture has been spe-cial for the company be-cause American Campus Communities CEO, Wil-liam C. Bayless Jr, is a WVU alumnus and was a former residence assistant in Sum-mit Hall.
“WVU is near and dear to Bayless’ heart, and this project is very near and dear to his heart as well,” she said.
American Campus Com-munities just celebrated the 20th anniversary of the company, which was cre-ated to meet the need for quality campus housing for college students.
Michael Beto, Assistant Director of Housing and University Apartments at WVU, said College Park is a grand complex with great amenities.
Beto said it is important to offer various amenities to tenants, and parents value having the Univer-sity as a landlord.
“WVU wants the best for our students,” Beto said.
College Park tenants for the 2014-2015 year can move into the facility upon completion on August 16. The complex is still leasing one, two, three and four bedroom apartments.
The facility is offering af-fordable and reasonable
prices for rent which will include a fully furnished apartment with private bathrooms, along with many amenities.
College Park residents will be able to enjoy a 24-hour fitness center, a social lounge with a TV, a com-puter center equipped with iMac computers, a game room, an outdoor pavilion with a fire place and com-munity kitchen, among many others.
College Park is conve-niently located close to campus so tenants can walk to class or may utilize the bus route offered by the facility.

WasHInGTOn (aP) — T-Mobile US knowingly made hundreds of mil-lions of dollars off its cus-tomers in potentially bogus charges, federal regulators alleged Tuesday in the first lawsuit of its kind against a wireless provider.
The lawsuit by the Fed-eral Trade Commission, which fueled a separate federal investigation, de-mands that T-Mobile refund the money to consumers for subscriptions to pre-mium text services such as $10-per-month horoscopes that were never authorized by the account holder. The FTC alleges that T-Mobile collected as much as 40 per-cent of the charges, even af-ter being alerted by other customers that the sub-scriptions were scams.
The announcement was a blow to the popular mobile phone provider, which had been making gains in the market by offering consum-ers flexible phone plans.
“It’s wrong for a company like T-Mobile to profit from scams against its custom-ers when there were clear warning signs the charges it was imposing were fraudu-lent,” said FTC Chair Edith Ramirez in a statement. “The FTC’s goal is to en-sure that T-Mobile repays all its customers for these crammed charges.”
In a statement, T-Mo-bile called the allegations “unfounded and without merit.”
“T-Mobile is fighting harder than any of the car-riers to change the way the wireless industry operates,
and we are disappointed that the FTC has chosen to file this action against the most pro-consumer com-pany in the industry rather than the real bad actors,” said John Legere, the com-pany’s CEO, in a statement.
The practice is often re-ferred to as “cramming”: businesses stuff a custom-er’s bill with bogus charges associated with a third party. In this case, the FTC said, most T-Mobile cus-tomers never agreed to sign up for the services but were billed anyway.
T-Mobile says it tried to put consumer protections in place, but that many of the third-party vendors acted irresponsibly. The FTC counters that T-Mobile should have been tipped off that these text services
were scams because of the high rate of customer complaints.
The FTC also alleges that T-Mobile often hid the charges, making it almost impossible for customers to protest. Regulators estimate that T-Mobile kept as much as 40 percent of the bogus charges, resulting in hun-dreds of millions of dollars.
The FTC told reporters in a conference call Tues-day that it had been in ne-gotiations with T-Mobile for months in an attempt to guarantee refunds would be provided to customers but that the two sides couldn’t reach an agreement.
The Federal Communi-cations Commission an-nounced it would launch a separate investigation, which could result in heavy
fines for T-Mobile if it con-firms the FTC’s allegations.
T-Mobile appears to have been laying the groundwork to head off the federal com-plaint. Last November, the company announced it would no longer allow pre-mium text services because they were waning in popu-larity and that not all ven-dors had acted responsibly. In June, with the FTC com-plaint imminent, T-Mobile announced it would reach out to customers and give them a chance to request a refund.
The FTC said consumers should contact their wire-less provider if they fear they are a victim of cram-ming. They also can file a complaint with the FTC.
One way for consumers to try to prevent fraudu-
lent charges is to ask their providers to block all third-party businesses from pro-viding services on their phones.
Headquartered in Bel-levue, Washington, T-Mo-bile US, Inc., is a publicly traded company. Accord-ing to its website, Deutsche Telekom AG maintains a 67 percent ownership in the company’s common stock.
Sprint Corp., the third-largest cellphone carrier, is in talks to buy T-Mobile US Inc., according to pub-lished reports. Analysts be-lieve such a link-up would face stiff opposition from the same regulators who blocked AT&T from buying T-Mobile in 2011.
T-Mobile’s stock fell 21 cents to close Tuesday at $33.41.
Federal Trade Commission accuses T-Mobile of making millions through bogus billing

Morgantown celebrates July 4by erika bibbee
Correspondent @dailyathenaeum
To celebrate America’s 238th birthday, the City of Morgantown will offer plenty of events for anyone looking to celebrate Friday.
All events will be taking place at Hazel Ruby Mc-Quain Amphitheatre at the Waterfront, other than the events to take place outside.
The Morgantown Mu-nicipal Band performance, conducted by C.B. Wilson will kick off the event.
At 5 p.m., there will a pa-rade on High Street. An en-try information form is re-
quired for a space in the parade. Call Parade Direc-tor Don Davis at 304-328-5491 for a form, and it will list where to send the form when completed.
There will also be a bicy-cle decorating contest. Par-ticipants will need to come with a bike already deco-rated at 3:30 p.m. and judg-ing will begin at 4:15 p.m.
The bicycles will lead the parade down High Street at 5 p.m. starting by the Spruce Street Parking Garage.
Susan Sullivan, pub-lic communications man-ager for the City of Morgan-town, will be taking videos and pictures of the parade.
This will be shown on lo-cal channel 15 for about a month following events.
There will also be a per-formance by The Wee-drags at 6 p.m. at the Ampitheatre.
Following the perfor-mance will be the Award Ceremony Program at 7 p.m. The Mon River Big Band Performance, di-rected by Mike Roberts, will start at 8:20 pm.
But, no July 4 celebration would be complete without fireworks, of course.
To finish things off, fire-works will start at about 9:45 p.m.
Maurice Matthews, a res-ident and student of West
Virginia University, was working at the Morgantown Brewing Company last year during the July 4 events.
“I really liked the fire-works,” Matthews said. “They were down on the water, so you could see them from anywhere in town, and it also gave us great business.
“Seeing actual families out watching the fireworks really stood out to me, in-stead of students.”
Sullivan also attended last year’s events and said, “People seemed to really enjoy the fireworks outside of the Waterfront.”
rootwire festival transforms audiences with loveby jake jarvis
a&e editor @jakejarvisWvu
Bonnaroo and Coachella are great for those who en-joy music festivals, but for those in Morgantown, the Rootwire Transformational Art Festival is only about an hour away and offers a wide range of activities.
Based in the Sunshine Daydream Memorial Park at Terra Alta, West Virginia, the festival offers musical performances, visionary artists, performance art-ists, workshops and art sintillations.
Edward Charles, the ex-ecutive producer and event coordinator for Rootwire, said this festival is unlike any other.
“Rootwire was started as a way to shift focus from having only music at festi-vals and to give spotlight to all of the art forms,” Charles said, “including healing arts, performance arts, sculptors, painters, carv-ers, and any other type of art you could imagine.”
The impressive lineup, which can be found at http://www.rootwirefest.com/lineup.html, seems reminiscent of the Burning Man Festival.
But different from Burn-ing Man is the way that
Rootwire chooses its lineup.
“We choose positive people who are truly pas-sionate about their work and let it shine through in their creations,” Charles said.
Jamie Janover, one of the musicians on the lineup, said that he hopes audi-ences experience “some-thing that reminds them of the infinite nature of the universe and themselves.”
Joining Janover are ar t ists l ike Tipper, Beats Antique, Dessert Dweller and Pimps of Joytime.
The festival’s schedule has yet to be released. On the event’s Facebook page, it said it would be released when 60,000 people were invited.
Rootwire was previously held at Hocking Hills in Logan, Ohio. There were reports of local law en-forcement overly target-ing the area for illegal drugs.
Teresa Salizzoni from Athens Ohio Today re-ported that although there were some minor problems with audience members, the community generally benefitted from the event.
“Everybody from out of town got a ticket,” said Wil-liam Kaeppner, owner of
the woods where the event was previously held, in Sal-izzoni’s article.
“It is sad to see a ven-detta issued against you and now the event is gone. What they stopped peo-ple for were minor — tail-lights, cracked windows or if they bumped the line on the road.”
But despite these prob-lems, Rootwire will con-tinue. In fact, the new lo-cation might prove to be better than the old one.
“It offers a much larger space for us to gather and enjoy each others’ com-pany while adding a whole new flow to the event,” Charles said.
The underlying theme of the festival is “Love starts with me.” With this in mind, Charles recom-mends that people attend-ing for the first time come with an open mind and an “open heart.”
“ S o m e s u n s c r e e n wouldn’t hurt either.”
To purchase tickets to
Rootwire, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/rootwire-transformational-arts-festival-2k14-tick-ets-10879578111.
Tickets are $150 for the whole weekend with camp-ing, parking and potable water included.

The West Virginia Botanic Garden is sponsoring “Yoga in the Garden” every Satur-day from 9:30-10:30 a.m. The event is open to all ages and ability levels.
Heather Garrison, the yoga instructor, said she first found her love of yoga while study-ing for the BAR exam in 2000.
She received yoga train-ing at Jala Yoga in Shepherd-stown, West Virginia.
The class takes place next to the Butterfly Garden at the botanic gardens, and it is a cool, shaded place for par-ticipants to reconnect with
nature. “Pairing nature and yoga
can be an incredible experi-ence if the student is ready to embrace the outdoors,” Gar-rison said.
“The beauty of the gar-den encourages the student to be in the moment which is the goal to bring peace and wellbeing”
Garrison specializes in Hatha yoga. According to the Yoga Journal, Hatha refers to a style of yoga that is “willful or forceful.”
But don’t let that the de-scription discourage you. Garrison said this class is a “gentle” Hatha that allows all people to participate, re-gardless of their physical restrictions.
“Practicing outside helps align us with nature,” Garrison said, “develop inner strength and stability. We learn to ac-cept our environment as it is and welcome the freedom that the outdoors lend.”
One benefit of holding this class outdoors is the ever-changing environment.
“Each time we return to the space, there is something new in bloom,” Garrison said, “and it’s fun to explore before each class.”
The next yoga session is this Saturday from 9:30-10:30 a.m.
Tickets are $12 per session for members of the West Vir-ginia Botanic Garden and $14 for non-members.
Walk-ins are welcome, but
participants can also regis-ter at http://www.wvbg.org. Also, contact Erin Smaldone at 304-216-8704.

The landmark Burwell v. Hobby Lobby case will no doubt be remembered for years to come. No mat-ter which side of the ar-gument you fall on, the political and social im-plications of this decision cannot be ignored.
Erick Erickson, editor-in-chief of RedState.com, best summed up the con-servative’s viewpoint with a tweet he sent out on Monday.
“My religion trumps your ‘right’ to employer subsidized consequence-free sex,” it read.
Many are quick to jump the gun and say the Afford-able Care Act rids women of any consequence of sex and effectively puts abortion on the fast track. This is simply not the case.
Ruth Bader Gins-burg, in her 35 page dis-sent, stated that a woman
would make the choice to use contraceptives “au-tonomously” with her physician.
But for some reason, a woman’s private de-
cision about her body has now become a re-ligious burden on the likes of Hobby Lobby and Conestoga.
It was brought to light
in April by Molly Redden that Hobby Lobby’s 401(k) employee retirement plan “held more than $73 mil-lion in mutual funds with investments in compa-
nies that produce emer-gency contraceptive pills, intrauterine devices, and drugs commonly used in abortions.”
The apparent hypocrisy aside, businesses that are closely held now can not only act as a person but can also act according to the biases a person might have.
Still, earlier this year the Arizona governor Jan Brewer vetoed a bill that would allow businesses to not serve gay people on similar grounds, that it would be a burden to their religious freedom.
So where is the line drawn? When does pro-tecting religious freedom cross into the world of discrimination?
Ginsburg was quick to point out in her dissent that this decision could open the door for other organizations to deny
health care coverage for employees such as blood transfusions for Jehovah’s Witnesses.
The problem here is trying to legislate reli-gion. Businesses are held to strict standards to pro-tect the rights of employ-ees. But each person is guaranteed the right to practice the religion they choose.
When these two spheres merge, the waters get murky.
While the ACA may not be the perfect solution to provide women with ad-equate health care, this Supreme Court decision only serves to deny women their rights.
Just as a person deserves the right to freely practice a religion, all people have the right to live happy and healthy.

Giving a future to our future, a chance at a better life
Recent Dangerous Wild Animals Act protects both animals and humans
If we are to believe that the youth of this nation is the fu-ture of this nation, then why are we allowing the ones that are incarcerated to deal with such atrocities?
Perhaps it is a valid argu-ment that if they are in prison from such a young age, the question can be asked of what they would actually contrib-ute to society.
However, there are millions of men and women currently incarcerated that are part of this society. When they are in prison, they do various things that contribute to their state. They pick up trash, they at-tempt to better themselves through education, they do various labors that are al-lowing the prison systems
to get the upper hand on the market.
More importantly, when prisoners are eventually re-leased from being behind bars, they will be forced to re-enter society and be a stan-dard citizen.
They will have jobs and they will pay taxes and they will hopefully be respon-sible. Therefore, prisoners are an active part of society, both in front of and behind bars.
In this regard, it is confus-ing why we are not trying to enable juveniles that are cur-rently in prison to attempt to achieve a better life. Why are there not educational pro-grams in all juvenile detention centers?
Big brothers that come and talk to them about what real life is like, especially real life in prison. Men and women who attempt to tutor these adoles-
cents and make them real-ize that they can have a future someday.
Some of these teenagers, and even children, are where they are because they are a victim of circumstance. They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They grew up in
the hood, so they didn’t know anything else but stealing in order to have nice things. They were constantly surrounded by drugs, so they didn’t un-derstand that not taking them was a choice.
Rape runs rampant in ju-venile detention centers, by
other inmates and guards alike. Rape is not supposed to be part of their imprison-ment, and they shouldn’t have to deal with such treat-ment. They shouldn’t have to deal with such bad living conditions.
If we show them that they
have a crappy cell, and they’ve had crappy living conditions prior to prison, then they will only expect crap from there on. They don’t need to be treated like royalty and housed in the Ritz Carlton for them to be treated well.
There are various juveniles across the United States that are being sentenced to life in prison. It is not a good idea to sentence a child to a man’s punishment. The prison sys-tem does not have an accurate understanding of the growth of teenagers, and it cannot accurately predict whether this particular individual will grow up to be exactly the way they are now, or whether they will grow out of the habits that they have adopted at such a young age.
We must try to give them a chance at a better life, or they will never understand why they should try to attain one.

West Virginia was the 45th state to adopt danger-ous wild animal laws on March 21 when H.B. 4393 was passed and signed into law by Governor Earl Tom-blin. The law officially went into effect June 4 but the fine details have yet to be worked out.
You might have heard something about this new law, but many ruomors are circulating. With news of this law, there has been some-what of an online panic that the government is coming for your pets.
Let’s all relax and actually look at the facts.
For starters, the bill de-fines a dangerous wild ani-
mal as “a mammal, bird, rep-tile, amphibian or aquatic animal, including a hybrid, that is dangerous to hu-mans, other animals or the environment due to its in-herent nature and capabil-ity to do significant harm.”
As long as your pet doesn’t cause harm, then you’re fine. But as a friend pointed out, does being bit-ten by a guinea pig once make it a dangerous wild animal? No. So then where is the line drawn?
The bill created a Danger-ous Wild Animal Board, con-sisting of the Commissioner of the Department of Agri-culture, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Resources and the Director of the Division of Natural Resources.
These three, or their des-ignees, are charged with cre-
ating a full list of dangerous wild animals that will be affected.
But just in case you’re wondering, domestic guinea pigs are not on the drafted list of banned animals.
The Humane Society of the United States tells us that “since 1990, there have been nearly 1,300 danger-ous incidents involving cap-tive big cats, bears, primates and large constrictor snakes nationwide.”
In April, the Federa-tion of Humane Organiza-tions in West Virginia pub-lished a statement that cited at least seven incidents in-volving dangerous wild an-imals in our state. The in-cidents most commonly occur with primates, such as chimpanzees.
But the report says in 2008, a 250-300 pound Ben-
gal tiger was sighted at least twice in Greenbrier county, most likely as a result of be-ing released by an owner who was unable to take care of it.
This law is especially good for big cats, bears, alligators and other commonly ac-cepted dangerous animals that are still taken captive nationwide. If you speak to the owners of these ani-mals, you’ll no doubt sense the compassion they have for their companions.
But this compassion is comparable to a young child finding an injured bird and asking, “Mom, can we keep it?” Much like a child who forgets about the responsi-bilities of a pet, exotic ani-mal owners often forget the scope of their responsibility.
The bill says that all insti-tutitions accredited by the
American Zoo Association will be exempt from these rules. Currently in West Vir-ginia, there is only one insti-tution accredited: The Good Zoo at the Oglebay Resort.
And yet, 20 miles south of Morgantown is the Hov-atter’s Wildlife Zoo. A quick internet search of reviews for this attraction will yield mostly negative feedback. The general consensus is the facility is not up to stan-dards and the welfare of the animals is taking a back seat to profit.
In May, one reviewer on TripAdvisor.com said, “The animals were fighting each other for food. The ti-gers looked thin, as did the horses, who had no barn, just a small overhang. They couldn’t all fit under.”
Hovatter’s is not accred-ited by the AZA. Though I
have not personally been to Hovatter’s, I shudder to think what the facilities ac-tually look like.
All pet owners who previ-ously owned an animal on the final list will be allowed to apply for a permit to keep the animal. The permit re-quires pet owners to provide full details about the ani-mal’s housing and requires them to alert authorities if they escape.
So what’s the problem? Why are people upset?
As long as you’re a re-sponsible pet owner, there’s no reason you can’t own a pet. But you’re mistaken if you think your right to own a dangerous wild ani-mal comes before the pub-lic’s safety or the animal’s welfare.

With the O’Bannon v. NCAA trial coming to a close last Friday, the future of col-lege sports rests in the gavel of Judge Claudia Wilken.
Ed O’Bannon is a college basketball star that led UCLA to a national title in 1995. In 2007, while playing “NCAA College Basketball,” a video game by Electronic Arts li-censed by the NCAA, he no-ticed his 1995 championship team was featured in this edi-tion, therefore allowing him to play as himself.
This was an unpleasant surprise for O’Bannon. He never gave EA the rights to profit from his image and likeness and he never re-ceived any royalties. Accord-ing to U.S. anti-trust laws, this is illegal. According to NCAA amateurism rules, it is not.
Currently, if you are to be a scholarship athlete in college sports, you must sign over all the rights to your name, im-age and likeness. The uni-versities and their respected conferences reap 100 percent of the profit, while television revenue is distributed evenly throughout the conference.
What I propose is that we
eliminate this indentured- servitude like bi-law that strips a college athlete of his or her fundamental Amer-ican right. That is, the right to market and brand one-self for profit despite your race, religion or socioeco-nomic background. Amer-ica is the country of talk show hosts, child stars and reality television. This is the status quo.
America is also the only country where every high school graduate must go on to college before they can turn pro in their respected sport besides baseball. How-ever, they have the stipula-tion that if you choose col-
lege then you have to stay for three years.
College sports are also the only university job that does not get a paycheck. If you are a teaching assistant, a resi-dent advisor or even work for the school newspaper, the university pays you for your services. Just not the athletes, they are “amateurs.”
If the likeness law were rescinded then the greatest coup in college sports his-tory would be among us. The stars of college sports would be free to sign endorsement deals. Things like shoe con-tracts, local commercials and talk show appearances would no longer be off limits
or have to be done for free. Players could make money from autographs or even sell their own memorabilia.
Some say this would turn college sports into an arms race. I say that’s called re-cruiting and it happens ev-ery year. Others say that it would remove the purity of college sports. The athletes play for the love of the game. They don’t care about money or personal recognition, just the school name on the front of their jerseys.
I call bull on that. There is no purity in college sports. These are not “student-ath-letes.” How would a uni-versity, a conference or the
NCAA feel if some star play-ers called off to study for an economics exam? As long as the answer is “of course you have to miss the game, you’re a STUDENT-athlete, your ac-ademics come first,” I would say we have no problem with college sports. Unfor-tunately, this is not the case.
Until this impossible day comes where athletes can profit from their own like-ness, we are left with the il-lusion of the student athlete. Their bodily self-sacrifice for school, alumni and peers will forever be thankless in every way but words.

What a great DEAL!
HE DAILY ATHENAEUM
BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
BORN TODAY This year you have the ability to make some dramatic changes without having to deal with much upheaval. You will perfect the art of conversation. Downtime and time alone will continue to be im-portant to you. If you are single, you might think that the person you meet is great, but you later could discover that he or she is emotionally unavail-able. Use care before committing. If you are attached, you might want to run away with your sweetie, never to be found again. You probably will opt for more weekends away together as a couple. VIRGO speaks his or her mind and can be critical.
ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH The best of intentions could be misunderstood. Clarify your objec-
tives before you hit a problem, and you will build your confidence as a re-sult. You are a dynamic fire sign, and you often seem impulsive to those who are more reserved. Tonight: Have an overdue chat.
TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH You roll into your day with not an obstacle in sight. As a result of your upbeat attitude, ev-erything will seem to fall into place. You might see a misunderstanding brewing that involves your funds. Step back to get clarification. To-night: Act as if you don’t have a care in the world.
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Give up being a whirling dervish, and slow down. You must handle a matter involving your funds. A friend might ask you for help, and a loved one pre-dictably will seek you out. You’ll be in the position of making a judgment
call. Get the facts first. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.
C A N C E R ( J U N E 21- J U LY 22) HHHH You will say the right words at the right time. However, you might be oversensitive, and you could take someone’s statement the wrong way as a result. Let it go. Consider how a particular person is transforming in front of your eyes. Tonight: Be a flirt.
LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHHH Check out a situation with care. Do your homework, and come up with as many solutions as possi-ble. Though you can be a delight-ful, carefree personality, you’ll need to be serious for others. They’ll want to know where you are coming from. Tonight: Pay bills first.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHH Your smile will attract more people
than usual. Your sense of what must happen will appeal to those around you. Your consistency and endurance gains you a great deal of trust from others. Make sure you mind your p’s and q’s. Tonight: Clear out what you must.
LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHH Express what you feel is a high prior-ity. Listen to others, and internalize their message. Make time for an im-portant conversation that involves a vulnerable situation. Others will want to make adjustments for you, as you do for them. Tonight: Not to be found.
SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HH Your sixth sense will kick in dur-ing a discussion, and it could indi-cate that not everything is on the up and up. One person might ask for your help in order to get the type of results he or she wants.
Make it your pleasure. Tonight: Off where the crowds are.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHHH You will want to move forward with a project, while oth-ers might seem to have various re-grets and questions. You will need to listen to what they have to say, and work through it together. Ul-timately, what happens will affect all of you. Tonight: Say “yes” to a loved one.
CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Reach out to some-one you care a lot about. In-stead of minimizing a prob-lem, try to solve it. You might not feel as if it is your job, but the is-sue is likely to create bigger prob-lems for you if it is left unresolved. Tonight: Read between the lines.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHH Others will display their desire to handle a problem. You subcon-sciously might create some kind of block that prevents you from par-ticipating in this matter. You know when enough is enough; try to dis-engage and avoid being an obstacle. Tonight: All smiles.
PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH Others will come forward and listen to your ideas, but your determination to complete what you are doing your way is likely to emerge. Be careful. Think about the complications of not having the help and support you need. Tonight: Be as easygoing as possible.

Held the first Wednesday of every month from 5-9 p.m., the event offers appetizer specials, happy hour and door prizes to participating patrons.
“Our goal is to offer women a break from their busy schedules to pamper and have a good time,” said Jean-Manuel Guillot, an em-ployee at the Preston County Inn.
Along with providing a venue for fun and relaxation, Working Women’s Wednesday donates a significant per-centage of its profits to Main Street, Kingwood and various local charities.
“In addition to providing a place for guests to have a good time, we donate a large percentage of money to those in need.”
During the 5-9 p.m. celebration, event planners of Working Women’s Wednesday bring various jewelry vendors and hair and nail specialists to pamper participants.
“We also offer a beautiful patio in the summer that guests love,” Guil-lot said. “There’s something here for everyone.”
The next Working Women’s Wednesday will be held on Thursday July 3rd at the Preston County Inn.

McCarthy’s ‘Tammy’ hits and misses(AP) — Meet Tammy.
Boy, is she a mess. An-gry, profane and aggres-sive, then suddenly shy and sweet. Sometimes she’s funny, sometimes to-tally not. She can’t figure out what she wants to do or be, or where to go. She has loads of people around her, yet can’t figure out what to do with them. This one’s in desperate need of outside help.
And you thought we were talking about Tammy, the character – played by lov-able Melissa McCarthy in her first venture as pro-ducer, star and co-writer with husband Ben Falcone. Well, sure. But really we’re talking about “Tammy” the movie, about which all of the above descriptions are also true.
Especially the “mess” part. Oy.
Other recent comedies have been described as elongated “Saturday Night
Live” skits, but it’s espe-cially apt here, and not just because McCarthy and Fal-cone, who also directs, are veteran improv perform-ers. Exaggerated charac-ters, some wacky side plots, a couple of famous faces sprinkled in, and you’re off. Some of it’s good, some terrible, but you keep it all, ‘cause, hey, why not? It’s a comedy sketch.
Only this is a much an-ticipated, heavily promoted feature-length film, and as such, it can only be deemed an unfortunate, though am-bitious and intermittently enjoyable, misfire for Mc-Carthy, so adorably enter-taining in better movies like “Bridesmaids” and “The Heat.”
Part of the problem is miscasting. “Tammy” is full of name actors: Susan Sarandon, Allison Janney, Toni Collette, Kathy Bates, Sandra Oh, Dan Akyroyd. Most are misused. (Bates is a happy exception.)
Most glaring of all: Sa-randon plays Tammy’s dod-dering grandmother, Pearl, with whom Tammy goes on a female-bonding road trip (yes, obvious echoes of “Thelma and Louise”). Give her credit for trying, but re-ally, Sarandon as a dodder-ing grandma? McCarthy is 43. Sarandon is 67, but we all know she looks great for 50, maybe 45. They give her a dumpy pants ensemble, an unflattering gray wig and fake swollen ankles, but we don’t buy it for a minute. Just look at Saran-don’s glowing skin here - she should be doing a Dove commercial.
It still might have worked if these two actresses had the comic chemistry (or the script) that made us laugh at the rowdy McCar-thy teaming with the up-tight Bullock in “The Heat.” No heat here, alas.
We first meet Tammy on, arguably, the worst day of her life. First, her car hits a deer. That makes her late
for her job at Topper Jack’s burger joint, where she’s promptly fired by her sa-distic boss Keith (Falcone), and responds by licking all the hamburger buns.
At home, she finds hus-band Greg (Nat Faxon) ro-mancing neighbor Missi (Toni Collette, criminally underused). Furious, she runs home to her mother, Deb (Allison Janney, a great-looking 54-year-old, and thus also implausibly cast - but whatever.)
Tammy wants to hit the road. That’s where Pearl comes in. She’s eager to stave off the nursing home, and has a huge wad of cash.
Misadventures ensue. Tammy totals a jet ski. Pearl gets drunk - she’s a serious alcoholic, and a diabetic - and ends up having sex in a car with a randy old guy, while his son (Mark Du-plass, in a sweet perfor-mance) and Tammy watch in disgust. Tammy and Pearl get in trouble with the law. Tammy needs bail money for Pearl, so she robs a Topper Jack’s with a paper bag on her head.
Somehow the two end up - and you knew this was coming - at a huge lesbian July 4th party! The hosts are Pearl’s friend Lenore, played by the terrific Bates, and girlfriend Susanne (Sandra Oh, barely used at all.) This is where things go seriously wrong between Pearl and Tammy.
It all comes hurtling oddly, with weird rhythm and pacing, to an equally odd ending. At least Tammy - the character, not the movie - seems to know a lit-tle more about where she’s going.
Us? We’re still scratching our heads.
“Tammy,” a Warner Bros. release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Associ-ation of America “for lan-guage, including sexual ref-erences.” Running time: 96 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Johnny Manziel hangs out with Justin Bieber
CLEVELAND (AP) —Johnny Manziel went from hanging out with the Browns to hanging with the Biebs.
Cleveland’s rookie quar-terback, whose social life has overshadowed his NFL arrival, posted pho-tographs on Twitter of him and Justin Bieber.
Manziel promised last week he wouldn’t tone down his well-documented weekend living despite ad-vice from Hall of Famers Emmitt Smith, Joe Mon-tana and Warren Moon.
The 22-year-old not only kept his word but seemed to flaunt his celebrity by posting the photos with the pop star heartthrob as well as boxing champion Floyd Mayweather and others.
Manziel is free from foot-ball for the next few weeks. The Browns open training camp July 26, when Man-ziel will resume his com-petition with Brian Hoyer for the starting job. Man-ziel spent last week attend-ing the NFL’s rookie sym-posium with Cleveland’s other first-year players.
On Friday, Manziel ad-dressed the clamor caused by his social life – he has been filmed spraying champagne on partygoers in Las Vegas, photographed floating on an inflatable swan raft drinking cham-pagne and seen in a video talking on a fake money phone.
Manziel defended his right to party.
“I’m not going to change who I am for anybody,” he
said. “I’m growing up and continuing to learn from my mistakes and trying not to make the same ones over and over again, but am I go-ing to live in a shell or am I just going to hide from ev-erybody and not do any-thing? I don’t think that’s the way I should live my life and I’m not going to do it.
“I’m here. I’m very com-mitted to football. I’m com-mitted to my job, but on the weekends, I’m going to en-joy my time off.”
Manziel says he’s tired of all the talk about how he spends his free time, and he doesn’t believe he’s endan-gering his career or chances of beating out Hoyer.
“Everybody goes out on the weekends and enjoys their life and lives their life and just for them,” he said. “They don’t have people that when they walk into a place pull out their phones and all they want to do is follow me around and re-cord everything. ... Every-body goes out and has fun. Everybody goes out and does that and I’m not doing anything that’s putting my-self in a harmful situation. I’m not doing anything that’s putting my team or jeopardizing what I do here throughout the week, or what I’m looking forward to doing this season.”
After attending the three-day symposium, Manziel visited the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday and spent Sunday in Cleve-land filming a TV commer-cial. But by Monday, he was back in the limelight.

Catch the American
soccer feverI never played soccer in
high school, but watch-ing this year’s World Cup makes me wish I did.
It’s unlike anything I’ve ever watched. Yeah, scor-ing is a rarity, and players often just continuously pass the ball to each other with little to no progress on offense made. The rules are a little compli-cated, and, if you don’t play the sport you proba-bly have no idea what’s go-ing on. I’ll admit, I had to look up the rules.
But it’s exciting. On the rare occasion that a goal is scored, the crowd ex-plodes. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s 90 minutes of non-stop ac-tion on a running clock, so fans generally have a good idea as to when the game will stop.
Home to WVU soccer, Dick Dlesk Stadium usu-ally has a relatively good attendance for Mountain-eer home games, but like any non revenue sport, it could be better. Head coach Marlon LeBlanc and team haven’t been able to make much noise in the new Mid-American Con-ference, but the potential is still there. A 7-7-5 re-cord in 2013 leaves plenty of room for improvement.
WVU has three seniors on its roster. Forward Andy Bevin is perhaps the best on the squad, registering seven goals and six assists (20 points) last year. His fellow forward teammate Majed Osman, a junior, has also made his pres-ence known since coming over from New Zealand. He registered eight goals and 10 assists last year.
Transfer goalie Lee Johnston also had an im-pressive showing in the net, allowing just 1.2 goals per season and 39 saves. He played nearly every minute of every game, and will look to improve on his solid debut season as a Mountaineer.
WVU has won seven and nine games in the last two respectively, but that could dramatically increase next year with many teams in the conference losing key players to graduation.
So, I encourage the in-coming freshmen to check out the men’s and wom-en’s soccer teams this fall. Sure, it’s not a basketball or football game, but the staff at Dick Dlesk Sta-dium does a great job of getting fans involved and interacting with the fun. When I was a freshman, I was a participant in a bur-rito eating contest spon-sored by Qboda. I lost, but I still got a free burrito plus a coupon for an addi-tional one. It’s difficult to attract students and fans to non revenue generat-ing sports, but I’ve always enjoyed my time at Dick Dlesk Stadium.
So give it a try. You’ll be impressed.

Trickett looks to take advantage of early decision in starting quarterback raceBy KEVIN HOOKER
SPORTS WRITER @DaIlyaThEnaEum
Last week, West Virginia football coach Dana Hol-gorsen announced that Clint Trickett would be the team’s starting quarterback this upcoming fall.
This may come as a sur-prise to some, considering the team has five quarter-backs on roster and Trickett had an inconsistent 2013 season, but Holgorsen and his staff are confident.
“Clint is 100 percent healthy and is ready to play,” Holgorsen told the media last week. “He worked hard last season and showed a lot of abil-ity and leadership and de-serves the chance to lead the team as a senior. He will be our starter.”
Four star recruit William Crest joined the program in Feburary, but didn’t play in April’s spring game. Crest, Trickett and junior Paul Millard were expected to compete for the job throughout the summer.
Trickett, a senior, may face former Florida State teammate Jacob Coker in the season opener against Alabama on August 30. Coker is eligible for 2014 after transferring this sum-mer, but Nick Saban and the coaching staff have in-dicated that the job is open heading into fall camp.
Although often injured last season, Trickett did show flashes of promise. He played a key role in WVU’s two Big 12 Conference wins last season against Okla-homa State and TCU, and, despite the loss, threw for
356 yards and two touch-downs against Iowa State.
Trickett’s first start of the season was against the Sooners, but he never played the same following a shoulder injury. He had off-season surgery to repair a torn labrum and didn’t play in the spring football game or any drills before the se-mester ended. But accord-ing to him and the coaching staff, he is fully healthy and ready to start week one.
“I’m out there throwing and I’m doing the program, getting better one day at a time and healing up,” he said.
All in all, he threw for 1,605 yards, seven touch-downs and seven intercep-tions in seven games as a Mountaineer rookie.
Despite his small sam-ple size, offensive coordi-
nator Shannon Dawson said the decision to start Trickett Week 1 was an easy one.
“If you evaluate last year’s tape, which we’ve watched countless times, when he was healthy he played at a high level,” Dawson told WVUsports.com. “The two Big 12 teams we beat he played in those games. That group right now, in our opinion, needs leadership. They look to him anyway. We feel like it’s clear-cut in our mind and so it’s going to give him confidence.”
Many uncertainties at other positions leave the Mountaineers with ques-tion marks heading into the start of training camp. But with Trickett at the helm, he says he feels confident in his leadership skills.
“When you know you’re the guy there are no ques-tions about it. You’ve got the coaching staff fully be-hind you it changes your demeanor and it changes your attitude,” Dawson said. “It’s only going to help him in the long run and it’s only going to help our unit in the long run.”
The coaching staff is only allowed to spend a limited amount of time with the players during the summer, but that should help Trick-ett with some of the issues he had last season. Accord-ing to Holgorsen, it took the quarterback quite a while to figure out his complex offense.
“We’re going to give him as many reps as it takes,” Dawson said.

Capitals add two Penguins defensemen(AP) — Moving swiftly to
give Alex Ovechkin help at the defensive end while raiding a rival, new Washington Cap-itals general manager Brian MacLellan signed Pittsburgh Penguins free agents Matt Niskanen and Brooks Orpik on Tuesday to deals totaling more than $65 million.
The 27-year-old Niskanen, the more offensive-minded of the pair, got a $40.25 mil-lion, seven-year contract. The 33-year-old Orpik, more of a stay-at-home blueliner who has spent his entire ca-reer with the Penguins, was given a $27.5 million, five-year package.
The Capitals began free agency by also adding Car-olina Hurricanes goaltender Justin Peters on a $1.9 mil-lion, two-year deal, while re-signing center Michael Latta for two years at $1.15 million contract.
Last season, three-time NHL MVP Ovechkin and the Capitals missed the play-offs for the first time in seven years, leading ownership to make changes. George McPhee’s contract was not renewed after he spent 17 seasons as the Capitals’ GM, while Adam Oates was fired
with a year left on his three-season deal.
Brian MacLellan was pro-moted from assistant general manager to replace McPhee, while Barry Trotz was hired as the new coach.
Washington also has added assistant coach Todd Reirden, who was hired by the Capitals after the Penguins fired him.
Niskanen, 27, led NHL de-fensemen with a plus-33 rat-ing last season, when he set career highs with 10 goals and 36 assists with Pittsburgh. The 6-foot, 209-pound defen-seman has 35 goals, 132 as-sists and 266 penalty minutes in 491 career NHL games for Pittsburgh and Dallas.
The 6-foot-2, 219-pound Orpik has 13 goals, 119 as-sists and 734 penalty minutes in 703 career games. He is a two-time U.S. Olympian and was an alternate captain for the Penguins since 2008.
“We feel Brooks’ lead-ership and experience will greatly enhance our defense for years to come,” MacLel-lan said. “Brooks plays tough minutes against the opposi-tion’s best players.”
The 27-year-old Peters went 7-9-4 with a 2.50 goals-against average and a .919
save percentage for the Car-olina Hurricanes last season. He also played in six games for Charlotte of the AHL.
Peters made his NHL de-but in February 2010, six years after being drafted in the sec-ond round by the Hurricanes.
For his career, Peters is 22-31-8 with a 3.05 goals-against average and .904 save percentage.
In the Capitals’ announce-ment of the deal, MacLellan is
quoted as saying the team be-lieves Peters “is just entering his prime and has a tremen-dous upside.”
Latta, 23, had one goal, three assists and 12 penalty minutes in 17 games for the Capitals last season, when he made his NHL debut.
Notes: The Capitals also signed Ds Jon Landry and Mike Moore to one-year, two-way contracts. Both were in the AHL last season.

Nets moving on after Bucks hire Kidd as coach
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Jason Kidd’s jer-sey hung on the wall just to the right of Billy King, a reminder that the Brook-lyn Nets lost more than a coach. They lost a fran-chise icon.
No time to worry about that now. The only focus for King is replacing him.
“I think no one person –and this is not just talk-ing about Jason – but no one person can be bigger than a franchise or an or-ganization, because an or-ganization has got to stand on itself,” the Nets general manager said Tuesday. “Players come, coaches come, ownerships come and go, but the brand of the Nets will stay.”
Kidd was hired Tuesday morning by the Milwaukee
Bucks, a day after they sent two second-round picks to the Nets as compensation.
King and his assistants had dinner Monday night with former Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins, and they planned to meet again Tuesday. King said he wants a coach in place “soon.”
He was surprised he had to hire another one so quickly after Kidd de-cided to bolt after just one season.
But he repeatedly said it was just business, leav-ing personal feelings aside even as Kidd’s departure came after a failed at-tempt to gain more power than King within the organization.
“Things happen and you’ve got to be flexible
and ready to move, and move on,” King said at the Nets’ practice facility. “And so the timing may not have been right, the way it happened may not have been right, but hope-fully for Jason he’s happy at the end of the day.”
Kidd led the Nets to a 44-38 record and the sec-ond round of the playoffs. He replaced Larry Drew, who went 15-67, the worst record in the league, in his only season guiding the Bucks.
New Bucks co-owners Wesley Edens and Marc Lasry called Kidd “a de-termined leader, a tough-minded competitor and a great teammate” in a statement.
“When you list the characteristics that make
a successful head coach, you would include lead-ership, communication and a competitive drive,” Bucks general manager John Hammond said.
Kidd displayed all of that during a 19-year play-ing career that will some-day land him in the Hall of Fame.
He led the Nets to their greatest NBA success, back-to-back trips to the finals in 2002-03.
He returned to the franchise last summer as coach and the Nets retired his number during the preseason. But he wanted more, seeking to be placed above King in the basket-ball operations depart-ment. When that was de-nied, the team granted him permission to speak
to other teams.“I don’t look at it as any
personal affront to me,” King said. “Whatever he felt he needed to do he did, and what ownership did, they did.”
King became aware of the situation last Wednes-day, a day before the draft – a day which Kidd repre-sented the Nets at a news conference to announce plans for a new practice facility – and just days before the start of free agency that began Tues-day. He said it won’t af-fect the Nets, even though Kidd’s agent also repre-sents Nets free agents Paul Pierce and Shaun Livingston.
“It’s a bump, it’s a big bump, but it’s something we’ve got to overcome,”
King said. “And as I go back to my one statement, the organization’s got to be bigger than one person.
“So we’re not where we were like a week ago, but I think we can get back there quickly.”
King said he called Pierce, Livingston and free agent Alan Anderson since free agency opened, but not backup center An-dray Blatche, so perhaps he will be gone.
Kidd already is. But soon somebody else will be in.
“It’s unfortunate that it ended this way because I thought we had a good partnership working to-gether, but this is what happens in this business,” King said. “Things happen and we move forward.”

Nadal, Sharapova lose; Serena leaves with illness
APRafael Nadal follows through on a swing.
LONDON (AP) — Rafael Nadal ran out of comebacks at Wimbledon, losing to a brash, big-serving, between-the-legs-hitting 19-year-old kid who might just be a fu-ture star.
Maria Sharapova, some-how, seemed on the verge of a turnaround despite a flurry of unforced errors, saving six match points before finally succumbing on the seventh with – what else? – a missed shot.
And in the most striking sight of a memorable day of departures by past Wim-bledon champions, Serena Williams couldn’t get the ball over the net in a dou-bles match with her sister Venus, stopping after three games because of what was called a viral illness.
All in all, Tuesday was chock-full of significant events, and the most note-worthy winner had to be 144th-ranked Nick Kyrgios of Australia, who used 37 aces and a have-no-fear ap-proach to beat Nadal 7-6 (5), 5-7, 7-6 (5), 6-3 for a quarter-final berth.
“I was in a bit of a zone out there,” said Kyrgios, the low-est-ranked player to beat the
No. 1 man at any Grand Slam tournament in 22 years.
“You’ve got to believe you can win the match from the very start, and I definitely thought that,” the 6-foot-4 (1.93-meter) Kyrgios said. “I’m playing some unbe-lievable tennis on the grass.”
That’s for sure.Playing in only his fifth
major tournament – he got into the field thanks to a wild-card invitation – Kyr-gios (pronounced KEER-ee-os) is the first man to reach the quarterfinals in his Wim-bledon debut in 10 years. He’s also the first teenager to defeat the top-ranked man at a Slam since Nadal was 19 when he beat Roger Federer at the 2005 French Open.
“We keep saying, ‘Who’s the next guy?’ And I think we may have found him,” seven-time major champion John McEnroe said on the BBC broadcast.
Nadal dropped the first set in each of his previous three matches before com-ing back to win. When he took the second set Tues-day, though, Kyrgios stayed steady.
“Kyrgios is young; he has nothing to lose,” said Nadal’s
uncle and coach, Toni “It’s like when Boris Becker won here. He was 17 and had a very good serve. He could beat everyone because of his serve. It’s the same with Kyr-gios. He plays aggressively and without any doubts.”
For Nadal, who won Wimbledon in 2008 and 2010, it was yet another early exit at the grass-court tournament against a much-lower-ranked opponent. In 2012, he lost in the second round against No. 100 Lu-kas Rosol. Last year, he was beaten in the first round by No. 135 Steve Darcis. Nei-ther of those players is con-sidered an up-and-com-ing contender like Kyrgios is, but the common thread among the trio was going for broke.
“The thing is, (on) this surface, when you have an opponent that decides to serve and to hit every ball very strong, you are in trou-ble,” Nadal said.
Kyrgios, who saved nine match points while beating 13th-seeded Richard Gas-quet in the second round, showed zero hint of nerves. Indeed, he soaked up all the attention and adoration of-
fered by the Centre Court crowd, particularly after an audacious trick shot: Facing the net at the baseline, he whipped his racket around his back and casually flicked
a shot that sailed between his legs and over the net for a winner.
He joked about reading that his mother said she didn’t think he could beat Nadal.
“It actually made me a bit angry,” Kyrgios said, then noted: “I’ll just text her a smiley face.”
On Wednesday, he faces No. 8 Milos Raonic of Can-ada, another man never be-fore this far at Wimbledon. The other men’s quarterfi-nals: seven-time Wimble-don champion Roger Fe-derer against good friend and Australian Open cham-pion Stan Wawrinka in an all-Swiss matchup; defend-ing champion Andy Murray against No. 11 Grigor Dim-itrov; and 2011 champion Novak Djokovic against No. 26 Marin Cilic.
The women’s quarterfi-
nals Wednesday: No. 3 Si-mona Halep against 2013 runner-up Sabine Lisicki, and No. 9 Angelique Ker-ber against No. 13 Euge-nie Bouchard. The semifi-nal on the other side of the draw was established Tues-day: 2011 champion Petra Kvitova against No. 23 Lucie Safarova.
Kerber edged Sharapova 7-6 (4), 4-6, 6-4 Tuesday. Sharapova made 49 un-forced errors, 38 more than Kerber. Still, the 2004 cham-pion saved one match point at 5-2 in the final set, then five more at 5-4, before pushing a backhand long to end it.
“I felt like I worked too hard within the match to let it go the easy way. So I did everything I could in the end to try to save those,” Sharapova said. “I did, but I didn’t save the last one.”

Bautista homers, powers Blue Jays past Brewers
TORONTO (AP) — Jose Bautista and Colby Rasmus hit solo home runs, Drew Hutchison struck out a ca-reer-high 10 to snap a two-start losing streak and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-1 on Tuesday.
The Blue Jays ended a three-game losing streak, one shy of their season high, and won for the third time in 14 meetings with Milwaukee.
The Brewers had their four-game road winning streak end as they lost away from home for just the third time in 13 games.
Starting for the first time since leaving a June 22 game at Cincinnati with a strained left hamstring, Bautista gave the Blue Jays an early lead with a two-out blast off the facing of the second deck in the first inning. The homer was his first since June 6 against St. Louis.
Starting as the desig-nated hitter, Bautista went 1 for 4 with a strikeout. He hopes to return to right field Wednesday.
Rasmus made it 2-0 with a leadoff drive in the fifth.
Both homers came off Milwaukee right-hander
Marco Estrada, who has al-lowed an ML-high 26, nine more than the next high-est total.
Estrada (7-5) lost for the first time in three starts, allowing two runs and six hits in six innings. He walked one and struck out two.
Hutchison (6-6) came in 1-4 with an 8.13 ERA in six home starts but delivered his best performance of the season at Rogers Centre. The right-hander allowed one run, three hits and two walks in seven innings.
Hutchison retired the first 14 batters he faced be-
fore outfielder Khris Davis reached on an infield sin-gle to shortstop in the fifth. Hutchison followed by get-ting Lyle Overbay to fly out.
Milwaukee cut the def-icit in half with a two-out rally in the sixth when Scooter Gennett sin-gled and scored on Ryan Braun’s double.
The Brewers loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh thanks to a pair of walks and a hit batter, but Hutchison escaped by get-ting Jean Segura to fly out.
Aaron Loup started the eighth but left after hitting pinch hitter Rickie Weeks.
Dustin McGowan came on and got Braun to ground into a double play. Jona-than Lucroy walked but McGowan fanned Carlos Gomez.
The Blue Jays added two runs in the eighth against reliever Rob Woo-ten. Melky Cabrera hit an RBI triple and Edwin En-carnacion drove in Cabrera with a double off the wall in center.
Casey Janssen finished for his 13th save in 15 chances.
NOTES: Elian Herrera replaced Davis in left in the seventh. ... Gomez re-
turned after sitting out Sun-day’s game with a strained neck. Gomez suffered the injury in an outfield colli-sion with Ryan Braun Sat-urday. ... Segura returned for Milwaukee after miss-ing Sunday’s game with a sore left quadriceps. ... The Blue Jays wore special red caps and jerseys to mark the Canada Day holiday. ... Attendance was 45,088, To-ronto’s sixth sellout of the season. ... Canadian Indy-Car driver James Hinchliffe threw out the first pitch. ... Brewers RH Wily Peralta (9-5) faces Blue Jays LH J.A. Happ (7-4) on Wednesday.

Cleveland Cavaliers build momentum in offseason
CLEVELAND (AP) — Sit-ting on a stage last week alongside No. 1 overall draft pick Andrew Wiggins and new coach David Blatt, gen-eral manager David Griffin said he hoped this would be a monumental offseason for the Cavaliers.
It’s already been quite a summer.
And LeBron James is still
out there.Cleveland kept its mo-
mentum rolling early Tues-day by getting All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving to agree to a new, five-year, $90 mil-lion contract extension.
Irving’s deal, completed with a handshake in New York with owner Dan Gil-bert, cements a commit-ment with Cleveland that
wasn’t always so strong.“I’m here for the long
haul Cleveland!!!! And I’m ecstatic!!” Irving wrote on his Twitter account shortly after the agreement was reached. “Super excited and blessed to be here and a part of something special.”
For months, Irving’s fu-ture with the Cavs seemed uncertain. There were re-ports he wasn’t happy in Cleveland as well as spec-ulation the Cavs didn’t be-lieve he was a cornerstone player. There were trade rumors and rumblings the team was not going to of-fer him the maximum extension.
Whatever differences there may have been seem to have been worked out. Griffin, who likes to refer to his team as “family,” has the Cavs united.
James surely has noticed.The Cavs have waited
four years for their chance to lure the four-time league MVP back home. This may be the perfect time.
Because Irving’s exten-sion doesn’t kick in until the 2015-16 season, the Cavs have room under the salary cap to pursue free agents.
They would have to move some other contracts if the reports are accurate that James will only sign for a max deal. Griffin has said clearing space to accom-modate a five-year, $120 million contract would be extremely easy.
The hard part might be getting James to believe the Cavs, who have not made the playoffs since he left in 2010, are title contenders – now.
They’ve got some quality
pieces for sure, but do they have enough?
Irving, who played in a career-high 71 games this past season, has established himself as one of the NBA’s elite point guards, and now that the contract situation is no longer an issue, it may unburden him to play the best basketball of his life.
The 6-foot-8 Wiggins would have been the top pick a year ago if he hadn’t gone to college and James has long admired the 19-year-old’s gifts.
It’s somewhat interesting that Griffin said Wiggins’ potential greatness would come at shooting guard, perhaps leaving an opening at small forward for a cer-tain former Cavalier.
To entice James, the Cavs may need to make a block-buster move.
They’ve got some assets to play with and a trade in-volving talented guard Dion Waiters could bring back a starter.
Griffin hinted that he isn’t done remodeling the Cavs.
“We need to continue to work on the defensive side of the ball,” he said at Wig-gins’ introductory news conference. “We need to get better from a basketball IQ standpoint, from a shooting perspective. And all of those moves will be forthcoming.”
For several years, the Cavs have been involved in trade rumors involving Kevin Love, who has one year left on his deal with Minnesota. If Cleveland can package the right pieces to-gether, they may be able to pry Love away from the Timberwolves.
