Federal student loan interest rates have now doubled .OPINION PAGE 4
STUDENT LOAN BLUES
Students weigh-in on loan increasesBy Caroline Peters
Staff Writer
Congress did not reach an agreement to prevent inter-est rates on subsidized fed-eral student loans from rising. This has led to a doubling of rates on subsidized Stafford Loans.
In 2007, Congress passed the College Cost Reduction Act. The act lowered the in-terest rate charged on sub-sidized Stafford Loans to 3.4 percent. However, the Act
was set to expire in 2012, hik-ing the interest rates up to 6.8 percent. In the heat of things, Congress acted last year and extended the Act for another year.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) sched-uled a vote to take place Wednesday to extend the bill for the upcoming year. De-spite Reid’s efforts, students are still concerned they will regret taking loans from the federal government.
“Congress was intended
to represent the people and I’m not sure students feel rep-resented,” said Kaleb Hill, a WVU marketing student. “The doubling of rates on loans worries me that edu-cation has become more of a business than an institution.”
“The rise of rates scares me,” said Caitlin Lokant, a WVU biology student. “I just don’t want to be paying off college when I’m 40. I might have kids by then.”
However, Lokant said she would rather gather debt
and get a degree than be left with neither. WVU pre-biol-ogy student Tracy Rondinello said she also believes that debt is worth an education.
“Despite the increase on rates, I still have to borrow,” Rondinello said. “I try not to think about the rates now. We were always taught that if you went to college, you would be able to support yourself and pay off the debt later. I’m just hoping the government doesn’t let this generation down.”
Associate Director of Fi-nancial Aid Tresa Weimer said students should take caution with how much they borrow.
“The very first step in fi-nancing your education is being aware of how much money you borrow,” she said. “Students should be careful not to borrow more than they need and they should try to pay back their loans as soon as possible.”
Weimer said that the ef-fects of the rates increase will
not be noticeable for about five to six years.
“We anticipate the default rates to increase,” Weimer said. “The students who are graduating in the next five to six years will be the ones that show America if the in-crease in rates affects stu-dent’s budgets. However, ser-vices work hard with students to ensure that they can make payments.”
Default rates are the

WVU launches nation’s first ‘super Wi-Fi’
network
By Carlee lammersManaging editor
West Virginia University became the nation’s first-ever campus to turn empty TV broadcast channels into something super.
Tuesday, the University announced it partnered with AIR.U, a consortium that includes Google and Mi-crosoft, to provide its cam-pus and nearby areas with broadband internet services.
AIR.U has worked with WVU to transform the “TV white space” frequencies left empty when television sta-tions moved to digital broad-casting into high-speed connectivity.
The “Super Wi-Fi” will use lower frequency TV radio signals than standard Wi-Fi. Super Wi-Fi is able to broad-cast signals past obstacles in-cluding trees and hills for up
to six miles. According to the Univer-
sity, Super Wi-Fi will ini-tially be available to students and faculty on the Personal Rapid Transit platforms across campus.
WVU Chief Information Officer John Campbell said he believes the AIR.U part-nership will not only im-prove connectivity quailty across WVU’s campus, but across the state of West Vir-ginia as well.
“Not only does the AIR.U deployment improve wire-less connectivity for the PRT system, but also demon-strates the real potential of innovation and new technol-ogies to deliver broadband coverage and capacity to ru-ral areas and small towns to drive economic develop-ment and quality of life, and to compete with the rest of

West Virginia University’s and WVU Healthcare’s construction projects are predicted to bring money into the city’s pockets.
Recently, a study was conducted by WVU’s Bureau of Business and Economic Research that shows more than a $1 billion economic increase due to these projects.
“In any study of this type, we have to make some assumptions about where the contractors are located and how the spending is distributed across the study area,” said Eric Bowen, the research associate who conducted the study. “But we feel comfortable that these results represent a fairly conservative measure of the economic impact of WVU’s construction projects in the Monongalia County region.”
The WVU projects are being funded by the sale of bonds, and WVU Healthcare projects are being funded by WVU Hospitals Inc.
The construction jobs began in June 2011 and are set to be finished by November 2015. The total budget of the projects totals $742.9 million, creating 7,100 jobs and approximately $35 million in local and state tax revenue.
The University intends to invest in the city of Morgantown by completing these projects.“These projects demonstrate WVU’s investment in Morgantown and surrounding area, and a commitment
to the continued financial health of the institution, which employs around 6,000 persons at the main campus,

A year in review: First year in Big 12 was learning experience for WVUBy miCHael CarVelli
SportS editor
When West Virginia Uni-versity officially entered the Big 12 Conference a little more than a year ago, Ath-letic Director Oliver Luck knew to expect a lot of changes in the Mountain-eers’ first season as a mem-ber of the new conference.
A season that started with lofty expectations for sports like football and men’s bas-ketball failed to meet those high standards, while the likes of women’s soccer and baseball flourished in their first time through a Big 12 season.
“It was certainly a learning year for us,” Luck said. “This is definitely a great confer-ence, and I think it was a very good move for us. It gives us the opportunity in the de-cades to come to get to play in a power conference.
“Every sport had it’s own
story, and it’s tough to gener-alize but I think we did a nice job overall in our first year.”
Plenty of outsiders con-sidered the biggest challenge for WVU in making the tran-sition would come in the form of the longer travel for away games.
Traveling to Ames, Iowa, is West Virginia’s shortest road trip in the Big 12 – clocking in at 14 hours and 41 minutes away from Morgantown. In the Big East, the Mountain-eers’ longest trip was a 16-hour, 23-minute distance to South Florida.
But Luck insists that it wasn’t necessarily the travel that caused WVU to have some fits during the 2012-13 seasons.
“The biggest challenge was, and will continue to be, the great depth in this con-ference,” Luck said. “In the Big 12, you have to come out and play every night because anyone can beat you. In the
Big East, because there were so many schools, there was a much wider disparity be-tween the top and bottom of the league.”
With the move to the Big 12, West Virginia is ex-pected to begin making more money, compared to what it made in the Big East, through the conference’s new television deal.
Once the school starts getting paid as a full finan-cial member of the league, WVU could be looking at making $20 million from the conference – quite a jump compared to the $7 to 8 mil-lion it would make per year in the Big East.
Luck said he thinks the benefits that will come with getting paid more in the Big 12 could be better in the long term, and although the ath-letic department announced a deficit of $12 million this

rates that occur when col-
lege alumni cannot make six months of payments af-ter graduating. These rates can diminish a person’s credit.
Weimer said the students who have had a combination of the 3.4 percent loans and the 6.8 percent loans will face an average percent of inter-
est rates on payments if they choose to consolidate their loans.
Students who stick to the 10-year repayment plan will not be affected by the average.

the world in the knowledge economy,” Campbell said.
This may well offer a solu-tion for the many West Vir-ginia communities where broadband access contin-ues to be an issue, and we are pleased to be able to be a test site for a solution that may benefit thousands of West Virginians.”
Sen. Jay Rockefeller said as chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, he has made high-speed inter-net deployment throughout the state and nation a high priority. Rockefeller said he was excited to learn WVU would be a pilot program for the initiative.
“Wireless broadband is
an important part of bring-ing the economic, educa-tional, and social benefits of broadband to all Americans,” he said. “The lessons learned from this pilot project will be important as Congress con-tinues to look for ways to ex-pand broadband access and advance smart spectrum policy.”
Super Wi-Fi will allow WVU to add additional Wi-Fi hotspots in other locations around campus where stu-dents congregate or where there currently isn’t any connectivity.
According to the Univer-sity, future phases of the de-ployment will include free public access to Wi-Fi on each of the 73 individual PRT cars.
As the pilot project, it is the hope of many that WVU’s
experience will pave the way for a bright future in Super Wi-Fi in rural towns, college towns and cities across the country.
“The innovative WVU net-work demonstrates why it is critical that the FCC allows companies and communi-ties to use vacant TV chan-nel spectrum on an unli-censed basis,” said Michael Calabrese, director of the Wireless Future Project at the New America Foundation. “We expect that hundreds of rural and small town colleges and surrounding communi-ties will soon take advan-tage of this very cost-effec-tive technology to extend fast and affordable broadband connections where they are lacking.”

more than half of whom are classified staff,” said Staff Council Chair-elect Lisa Martin. “Even with the current budget cuts, it’s important that WVU con-tinue to move forward with its strategic plan to ensure that staff, students and fac-ulty are drawn to the Uni-versity, and keep our re-cent momentum intact.”
University spokesperson
John Bolt said the projects will bring more than an economic boost to the city.
“These projects help the neighborhood,” Bolt said.
“The University’s plan shows a campus that is more connected with green areas for students to walk on. After all the construc-tion is completed, stu-dents will be able to walk to buildings that are being placed right on the Evans-dale Campus. There will be less need for cars, which will clear up the traffic in Morgantown. Students will
also be able to enjoy the most modern buildings, along with better places to study.”
The projects range from an $8.95 million Green-house budget to a $40 mil-lion Advanced Engineering building.
In contribution to the projects in the study, WVU is conducting con-struction on land the Uni-versity obtained when purchasing Vandalia Hall.

year, that will not always be the case the longer the school is in the conference.
“I think Cincinnati and South Florida will be getting
maybe $2 or 3 million per year from their TV deals and we can be getting literally 10 times that,” Luck said. “Some people need to understand the whole picture when it comes to last year’s loss. I’m sure if we had stayed in what is now the American Athletic Conference, those people
would be saying ‘How could they do that? They’re miss-ing out on a chance to get so much money.’
“Ultimately, our financial situation is strong and will be very strong, thanks in part to that TV contract.”

Pilots relied on automatic speed control
sOUTH san FRanCIsCO, Calif. (AP) — The pilots of Asiana Flight 214 relied on automated cockpit equip-ment to control the jetliner’s speed as they landed at San Francisco airport, but real-ized too late they were flying too low and too slow before the aircraft crashed, investi-gators said Tuesday.
The new details were not conclusive about the cause of Saturday’s crash, but they raised potential areas of fo-cus: Was there a mistake made in setting the auto-matic speed control, did it malfunction or were the pi-lots not fully aware of what the plane was doing?
One of the most puzzling aspects of the crash has been why the wide-body Boeing 777 jet came in far too low and slow, clipping its landing gear and then its tail on a rocky seawall just short the runway. The crash killed two of the 307 people
and injured scores of others, most not seriously.
Among those injured were two flight attendants in the back of the plane, who survived despite be-ing thrown onto the runway when the plane slammed into the seawall and the tail broke off.
National Transporta-tion Safety Board chairman Deborah Hersman said the training captain who was in-structing the pilot flying the aircraft has told investigators he thought the autothrot-tle, similar to a car’s cruise control, was programed for a speed of 137 knots — the target speed the pilots had selected for how fast they wanted the plane to be fly-ing when it crossed the run-way threshold.
Instead, investigators said the plane reached speeds as low as 103 knots and was in danger of stalling because it was losing lift before it hit
the seawall.The pilot told investiga-
tors he realized the auto-throttle was not engaged just seconds before they hit. Their last second efforts to rev the plane back up and abort the landing failed, al-though numerous survivors report hearing the engines roar just before impact.
“We just seemed to be fly-ing in way too low. Last cou-ple seconds before it hap-pened the engines really revved into high gear. Just waaah! Like the captain was saying ‘oh no, we gotta get out of here.’ And then, boom! The back end just lifted up, just really jolted everybody in their seats,” said crash survivor Elliot Stone, who owns a martial arts studio in Scotts Valley.
Asked if the autothrot-tle was malfunctioning, Hersman said that is some-thing investigators are look-ing into as they examine
hundreds of parameters of data downloaded from the plane’s flight data recorders.
An overreliance on au-tomated cockpit systems has figured in dozens of air crashes and incidents in re-cent years.
“Some people, if they be-lieve the autothrottles are engaged and if they are used to flying with the autothrot-tle engaged, will not real-ize that the autothrottles are not engaged and will let the plane get pretty slow. That has come up before,” said John Cox, an aviation safety consult and former Air Line Pilots Association accident investigator.
Hersman said the pi-lots told investigators they were relying on automated cockpit equipment to con-trol their speed during fi-nal approach, but NTSB of-ficials say it is still unknown whether a mistake was made in programming the “auto-
throttle” or if the equipment malfunctioned.
Hersman said the pilot at the controls was only about halfway through his training on the Boeing 777 and was landing that type of aircraft at the San Francisco airport for the first time ever. And the co-pilot was on his first trip as a flight instructor.
A final determination on the cause of the crash is months away and Hersman cautioned against drawing any conclusions based on the information revealed so far:
Seven seconds before im-pact, someone in the cockpit asked for more speed after apparently noticing that the jet was flying far slower than its recommended landing speed. A few seconds later, the yoke began to vibrate vi-olently, an automatic warn-ing telling the pilot the plane is losing lift and in imminent danger of an aerodynamic
stall. One and a half seconds before impact came a com-mand to abort the landing.
The plane’s airspeed has emerged as a key ques-tion mark in the investiga-tion. All aircraft have mini-mum safe flying speeds that must be maintained or pi-lots risk a stall, which robs a plane of the lift it needs to stay airborne. Below those speeds, planes become unmaneuverable.
Because pilots, not the control tower, are respon-sible for the approach and landing, former NTSB Chairman James Hall said, the cockpit communica-tions will be key to figuring out what went wrong.
“Good communication with the flight crew as well as the flight attendants is something I’m sure they’re going to look at closely with this event,” he said Tues-day. “Who was making decisions?”

NRA steps up attack on Sen. Manchin CHaRLesTOn, W.Va. (aP)
— The National Rifle As-sociation plans to mail 200,000 letters to West Vir-ginians this week, stepping up its attack on U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin over the gun pur-chase background check measure he’s co-sponsored.
Among other criticisms, the NRA missive faults Man-chin, a Democrat, for prom-ising not to support such a proposal when he sought the group’s backing in 2012.
The NRA had repeatedly endorsed the former gov-ernor and state legislator throughout his political ca-reer, and awarded him top ratings for his record. That changed once he began pursuing the background check measure with Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., follow-ing the massacre last De-cember of 20 first-graders and six educators at a Con-necticut elementary school.
The mailing follows duel-ing TV ads Manchin and the NRA aired last month. Cit-ing provisions in his mea-sure aimed at protecting
gun ownership rights, Man-chin on Tuesday touted his lifetime NRA membership and called the letters an-other sign the group’s lead-ership “is more interested in scoring cheap political points.”
The proposal with Toomey, which stalled in April, would broaden back-ground checks to cover on-line sales and all purchases at gun shows. It would ex-empt such non-commer-cial transactions as sales be-tween friends and relatives. Meant to prevent criminals and the seriously mentally ill from obtaining firearms, the background check sys-tem now applies only to sales handled by licensed gun dealers.
The NRA says that most gun show vendors are li-censed dealers, and cites the U.S. Justice Department to argue that gun shows supply less than 1 percent of armed criminals. Its letter also casts the current back-ground check system, which the NRA says it supports, as
“already overwhelmed and overburdened” without the proposed expansion.
“The Manchin amend-ment would have forced law-abiding gun owners like you to get government permission to buy a fire-arm from a lifelong friend if it was seen on Facebook, advertised in a local church bulletin, or the transaction occurred at a gun show,” the letter reads.
The two-page mailing does not mention Toomey – though it does refer to President Barack Obama, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. None are popular with gun rights ad-vocates, and the president has generally gotten low marks in West Virginia.
Manchin has noted that Toomey has so far escaped the NRA’s wrath, attribut-ing that to partisan bias. The NRA counters that Manchin has maintained a high me-dia profile as he seeks ad-ditional support for the measure.
For about a month, I’ve been (not-so) patiently wait-ing to see an unbelievably brave documentary made by actress, writer and direc-tor Sarah Polley called “Sto-ries We Tell.” It chronicles the life of Polley’s mother, who had an extramarital affair from which Polley was con-ceived. Unfortunately, due to the relatively rural area in which we live, I have yet to see this amazing film, and it won’t even be in Pittsburgh until September.
My frustrating desire to see this courageous docu-mentary has had me search-ing for comfort in the arms of scads of other docu-mentaries available online through services like Netf-lix, HBO GO, Hulu and Ama-zon Prime. I’ll resist the urge to recommend something as asinine as “An Original DUCKumentary” or some-thing as common as “Faren-heit 9/11,” and present to you my picks for the best docu-mentaries currently stream-ing online.
“Exit Through the Gift Shop”
In this well-known and fascinating documentary, Banksy, probably one of the best-known street artists in the world, introduces au-diences to Thierry Guetta. Initially unknown, Guetta carries his camera around everywhere and decides to point it at street artists when he learns his cousin has been involved in the work. Sur-rounded by these artists, the impetus to create is conta-gious, and soon Guetta finds himself creating and selling his own pop-pastiche, street-
art-inspired works. “Waste Land”The sheer amount of re-
fuse accumulated all around the world every day is stag-gering. The level reaches such heights at one of the world’s largest landfills in Rio de Janeiro that there is a whole community of peo-ple dedicated to scavenging valuable, recyclable items from the area every day. In this poignant documen-tary Brazilian artist Vik Mu-niz commissions some of the scavengers to provide materials for artworks to be crafted completely of waste, all the while attempting to call attention to this group and help improve the con-ditions of their lives.
“Marwencol”You’re probably famil-
iar with art therapy, but this documentary seeks to an-swer the question, “What if your therapy became art?” Mark Hogancamp was jumped outside a bar in 2000, and was left nearly dead and without any of his memories. In addition to dealing with the fear, an-ger and trauma the attack caused him, Hogancamp had to relearn even basic motor skills. But through this ordeal he found he was a very unique artist, creating an alternative reality out of 1/6-scaled dolls and models and photographing them in realistic-looking situations. “Marwencol” is as beautiful as it is inspirational.
“Bill Cunningham New York”
If you’re not familiar with Bill Cunningham’s work for The New York Times, you should be, but it’s okay. I challenge you to watch this documentary and not fall in love with this 84-year-old photographer. The doc-
umentary takes a look at Cunningham’s life and work, and it shows us a humble man with a beautiful world-view who has been incred-ibly dedicated and passion-ate about the fashion of New York City for most of his long, illustrious life.
“Dear Zachary”Ever wonder how great the
impact is that you’ve made upon those you know? “Dear Zachary” is director Kurt Keunne’s attempt to answer that question in a cinematic letter to his lifelong friend, Andrew Bagby’s, parents. In this documentary Keunne takes to task the justice sys-tem and shows the world how Bagby was murdered by the mother of his child be-fore the boy was even born. This is a sad one, but it’s just as touching and provocative as it is heartbreaking.
“Paris is Burning”A profound look into the
world of drag ball culture in the ‘80s, “Paris is Burning” is as glorious as it is serious. Dealing with AIDS, racial re-lations, poverty, homopho-bia and issues of identity, this documentary is just as striking as it was in 1990 and still serves as a great en-try point for thinking about issues facing the LGBTQ community.
“Happy” Okay, so this one is sim-
ply an absolute warm-fuzz-ies inducer. The documen-tary explores the quest for happiness, something that eludes so many of us though it is keenly felt when found. The secret to happiness? Pursue it. Money isn’t every-thing; physical activity, hu-man contact, challenges and dedicating yourself to some-thing you love are all more important to the quest.
“No Direction Home:
Bob Dylan”Directed by Martin Scors-
ese, this film gives an ac-count of Bob Dylan’s early career. Covering Dylan’s meteoric rise from roughly 1961-66, this documen-tary celebrates Dylan for his ability to tap into a par-ticular moment in United States’ history and deliver a uniquely American sound that changed the face of mu-sic forever. Featuring inter-views with people who knew him and footage of Dylan himself, this documentary is a must-see for anyone who appreciates Dylan, music or America.
“Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson”
With 2011’s release of “The Rum Diary,” Hunter S. Thompson has experi-enced a post-mortem surge in popularity. Narrated and featuring Johnny Depp and other people who knew Thompson throughout his career, this documentary gives viewers a deep look into the rise and drug-fu-eled fall of his life and ca-reer. You really get the sense of just how much Thomp-son cared about the trajec-tory of the United States dur-ing the height of his career and how far he fell when he completely yielded to drugs in his later life.
“Indie Game: The Movie”It’s no secret that video
game development is a high-dollar business, especially if you’re willing to work with one of the larger production companies. However, some game designers choose to go it alone, and this documen-tary focuses on just a few in-dependent game creators and their hard work as they struggle to get their games produced and sold. If you’re
a fan of games like “Super Meat Boy,” “Fez” or “Braid,” or indie games in general, you need to see this film.
“Pussy Riot: A Punk Prayer”
If your interest in Pussy Riot was even vaguely piqued when they made headlines last year on charges of “hoo-liganism,” you should check out this documentary. While the story isn’t as emotion-ally compelling as some of the others on this list, you re-ally get the sense of the the-atrics that surround both the band’s image and work and the trials and punishment that these women are still undergoing.
“Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work”
If you like Joan Rivers, or
if you can even just tolerate Ms. Rivers, you should see this documentary. Though not initially a fan, I decided I might be able to like Riv-ers after watching her inter-action with Louis C.K. on his show, “Louie”. The recently turned octogenarian is prob-ably one of the most brutal comics still working today. She’s so incredibly devoted to her work that you’ll be blown away by her dedica-tion, and the insight into her life is refreshing. You get to see that, aside from several plastic surgeries, this self-deprecating queen of com-edy hasn’t changed since she was a young comic in the ‘60s.

‘Pain, Parties, Work’ delves deeper into Sylvia Plath’s younger years
Fifty years after her death, Sylvia Plath still captivates audiences through her work, personal life and the influ-ence she had on the feminist movement.
Elizabeth Winder explores a different side of Plath, one not seen before, in her novel “Pain, Parties, Work: Sylvia Plath in New York, Summer 1953.”
In her famous novel, “The Bell Jar,” Plath briefly remarks about her time as an intern at Mademoiselle magazine through a thinly veiled fic-tional account. In the novel, we see a tortured, younger Plath, experimenting with
newfound freedom in New York. We’re shown a Plath who is terrified and defiant of the world around her and given a sense that her percep-tion is severely skewed.
For the first time, audiences are given a deeper look into Plath’s internship with the magazine– a time often at-tributed to her ultimate break-down and demise.
Through interviews with other interns that summer, snippets from Mademoiselle magazine and hand writ-ten accounts by Plath herself, Winder paints a portrait of the woman very different from the one suggested in “The Bell Jar.”
The Sylvia everyone else knew was woman determined but subdued, with high aspi-rations but an inability to stay cooped up inside under build-
ing pressure to complete vari-ous projects.
In her youth, Plath didn’t develop lasting relationships, with either potential boy-friends or girl friends. She had so many thoughts inside her head and only wanted to ex-press herself either through writing, design or other forms of art. She was confident in her looks, talent and knowl-edge. She enjoyed spending time alone while drinking whiskey in front of her type-writer, but she also loved go-ing out to wild parties and dances.
In this novel, we see Plath as a woman who wanted all the glitz, glamour and op-portunity of a Mademoi-selle guest editor. She wanted the prestige, the style, and of course, the parties. However,
this summer was the very thing that broke her.
The novel itself was inter-esting, and Winder chose a smart medium, breaking up chapters of text summary with quotes from the other guest editors, photos of Plath and parts of the edition of Made-moiselle the girls worked on.
I personally was very ex-cited to read this biography because Plath’s time in New York from “The Bell Jar” was one of my favorite parts, and I was interested in knowing more about it.
“Pain, Parties, Work” cer-tainly went into the detail of this time but didn’t focus as much on Plath as the title and jacket cover would suggest. Yes, Plath was the common denominator, but the bulk of the book was about the type
of girl who would be a guest editor at Mademoiselle mag-azine and a detailed descrip-tion of what all the girls went through.
While it showed some in-sight to Plath’s early life, Winder didn’t reveal any-thing particularly new about her; only that her inner tur-moil was not as easily recog-nizable from the outside. The majority of the other girls from that summer only thought Plath was going through the same amount of stress they all were. Winder paints a picture of oppressive magazine edi-tors demanding far too much work from their interns and girls spreading themselves far too thin on a schedule far too tight.
I truly enjoyed “Pain, Par-ties, Work.” The writing was
clear and thoughtful, and Winder obviously did her re-search and created a delight-ful tale of summer in New York in 1953 for a number of girls interning at one of the most prestigious fashion and ad-vice magazines of the time. I’m personally a big fan of that time period (as a result of watching too much “Mad Men” and Audrey Hepburn movies).
“Pain, Parties, Work: Syl-via Plath in New York, Sum-mer 1953” will be a wonderful read to any person in love with that time period and lifestyle and a vague interest in Sylvia Plath; however, don’t go in ex-pecting to learn anything in-credibly enlightening about the authoress.

The Black Dahlia Mur-der never impressed me.
From the group’s debut release, “Unhallowed,” in 2003 to its commer-cially successful 2009 of-fering, “Ritual,” I found little substance in the me-lodic death metal titans’ sound. There existed blast beats, vicious screams and shred-tastic solos aplenty, but the songs consistently failed as a whole.
Because of this, when the band’s most recent of-fering, “Everblack,” was released June 11, I did not exactly rush to the record store (iTunes) and pur-chase it.
But I should have. “Everblack” is fantas-
tic. It is everything the band’s previous albums were not; it is an arrange-ment of well-composed, expertly executed songs.
After 10 years of waiting, I can definitively proclaim that The Black Dahlia Mur-der has created something worth listening to.
The group nails tran-sitions just when sec-tions begin to ramble, and bridges and breakdowns are laced with intricate details and replay-worthy melodies.
Everything that defined The Black Dahlia Murder’s sound in the past – the screams, the blast beats, the melodies and the solos – still exists in this musi-cal casserole that is “Ever-black,” but the group fi-nally decided to measure the butter and the milk in-stead of just tossing and pouring elements as they pleased.
The result is a much tastier, much more calcu-lated approach that utterly satisfies; guitarist Ryan Knight deserves praise for this reinvention.
The riffs on the album are tight and heavy, and
the solos are downright remarkable.
Trapped in a musical landscape where seem-ingly every guitarist is that 15-year-old kid who locked himself in his bed-room all summer to learn how to sweep, crafting his playing into a tornado of ill-advised, too-quick phrases, Knight combines speed with a virtuoso’s sense of melody and mu-sicality, and the result is magnificent.
This exceptional gui-tar work is accentuated by a strong, driving rhythm section, courtesy of new band members Alan Cas-sidy on drums and Max Lavelle on bass, who ca-
pably fill the void left by previous band members.
With a lineup that has changed almost yearly since the band’s inception in 2001, this current cast of metalheads perfectly blends raw talent with mu-sical chemistry, resulting in the group’s strongest of-fering to date.
If you, like me, found The Black Dahlia Mur-der’s previous work lack-ing, step into the “Ever-black,” crank the volume and enjoy.

Debt shouldn’t be reduced on backs of students
Tell us what you think about this issue. Send a tweet to
@dailyathenaeum.
The balance of power between the federal and state governments has been a subject of conten-tion since before our nation was founded. The question of who has the authority to do what has never been resolved completely. The American system of govern-ment giving rise to this di-vided form of government is known as federalism. The issue of where the balance of power lands in the feder-alist system is reargued by each generation. It chal-lenges each new era to find its own answers to the ques-tion that so frustrated our nation’s founders.
The ongoing drama of states trying to address na-tional issues on their own terms continues. Last week we discussed how Texas and Ohio were bungling their way haphazardly through abortion issues. Women in those states are going to have a bad time until they manage to put some sensi-ble legislators in to undo the mess their current solons have created. This week, we have a humorous study in two parts of how states are dealing with the electronic frontier.
First, Montana. Montana legislators have just passed the first bill in the U.S. that expressly prohibits the gov-ernment from tracking per-sonal information stored in electronic devices without a probable cause warrant. Of course, there are some loop-holes in the law, allowing law enforcement to bypass the law if “there exists a pos-
sible life-threatening situa-tion,” or if a device has been stolen. Moreover, this law isn’t even going to be a blip on the federal government’s radar screen. The Suprem-acy Clause of the United States Constitution means that the feds will keep on do-ing what they do, heedless of the frantic foundering of those plebeian states down below.
Legal scholars might point out that the fact that Montana felt the need to make such a law is disturb-ing, as the Fourth Amend-ment clearly prevents the sort of searches that the Montana law is at pains to stop. “And the United States Constitution is the supreme
law of the land, is it not?”, you might ask. Well, sure it is, unless it’s preventing the government from wire-tapping you and grabbing your emails. Then it’s just some old piece of paper , not a document fit for mod-ern times or the challenges of keeping a nation secure in the 21st century. At least that’s what those NSA types would have us believe.
And then you have the other end of the spectrum as far as electronic-savvy legislation. Florida has just passed a law which effec-tively bans the existence of all smartphones and com-puters in the state. Yes, you have read that correctly. While Montana’s legisla-
ture managed to craft a bill with language to protect its citizens’ right to privacy in a fluid technological frontier, Florida’s goofball legisla-ture managed to write a bill outlawing computers. Let’s backtrack a minute.
Florida was recently rocked by a scandal involv-ing its Lt. Gov. Jennifer Car-roll after it was discovered she had been consulting with a “charity” that was ac-tually a front for an Internet gambling operation. This in turn led Florida Gov. Rick Scott to crack down on gam-bling in the state, presum-ably to show that he wasn’t party to the gambling deba-cle and wouldn’t brook such things in his state. Unfortu-
nately, in their rush to prove how much they all hated the blight of gambling, they messed up the language of the bill.
The bill shut down all In-ternet cafés in the state, ap-parently misunderstanding the purpose of an internet café at a very basic level. The bill, trying to ban ille-gal slot machines, defines them as any system or net-work of devices which may be used in a game of chance. As it turns out, that’s pretty much all systems and de-vices. Whoops!
Now Consuelo Zapata, the owner of a café shut down by the bill, is suing the state of Florida to repeal the bill, alleging that the bill was
passed “in a frenzy fueled by distorted judgment in the wake of a scandal that in-cluded the Lieutenant Gov-ernor’s resignation.” His law-yers also say the court must act as a bulwark against leg-islative encroachments and act to stop this overreach.
Thus we see the upside and downside of allowing states to control their own destinies. Sometimes you’ll have a Montana who knocks it right out of the park on the first try, and sometimes you’ll have a Florida who bans all computers in the state because someone in the capitol got embarrassed. The great experiment of fed-eralism and self-govern-ment rolls on!

States’ rights, america and hope
Unsurprisingly, Congress failed to make a deal on student loans before the July 1 deadline. As a re-sult, subsidized federal student loan rates have doubled from their previous rate of 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. The new rate is closer to those offered by private loaners and will affect an estimated 7 mil-lions students, costing them any-where from $2,800 to $11,000, de-pending on the amount borrowed and the type of repayment plan.
As we argued prior to the pass-ing of the July 1 deadline, Congress
must act to ensure the loan rates are kept at or near the previously low rate of 3.4 percent.
Again, there is no disputing that the national debt crisis, which is only worsening as the debt is about to surpass an inconceivable $17 trillion, is a serious problem that must be dealt with. But students, who will serve as the backbone of America’s economic future, should not be made to pay for decades of reckless Congressional spending.
Changing the rate of the subsi-dized Stafford loans back to their
original rate of 3.4 percent will cost the federal government an esti-mated $6 billion. Though this cost may seem prohibitive, the ben-efits of increased college enroll-ment make it a worthy investment.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average income for a high school graduate in the U.S. is around $28,000 per year. For college graduates, the mean is a startling $23,000 higher at around $51,000.
Though college isn’t for every-one, it clearly has a very positive
impact on an individual’s financial outlook in this country.
For those members of Con-gress who are suddenly so worried about the debt crisis they created, it’s worth noting that the higher salaries earned by college gradu-ates translates to an increase in tax revenue.
So once again, we urge Congress to come to an agreement on this vital issue and invest in America’s future.

BOrn TODAY This year you make waves, no matter which direction you head. You are in the first year of a new 12-year luck cycle. This is an excel-lent year for new beginnings. You are capable of starting projects and/or ideas that you normally would feel are impossible. If you are single, a re-lationship could be full of surprises. Make sure that you are ready for this. If you are attached, your bond will develop an exciting, dynamic under-tone if you remain sensitive to your significant other.
ARIES (MARch 21-ApRIl 19) HHHH You might seem to be sur-prisingly different somehow, accord-ing to a friend. Lately, you have be-come more willing to talk about personal matters, which allows for greater intimacy. Express compassion to a child or loved one, as he or she needs it. Tonight: Paint the town red.
TAURUS (ApRIl 20-MAy 20) HHH You could be more secure if you re-laxed a bit and worked through a sit-uation that is going on within your immediate environment. You sud-denly might gain a new insight dur-ing the day, which will explain a lot. Answers come forward. Tonight: Do something special for a loved one.
GEMINI (MAy 21-JUNE 20) HHHH You have a way about you that at-tracts many people. You might be surprised by a dear friend’s spontane-ity. You would never have expected what happens. Lighten up a conver-sation, and share more of your day-to-day life. Tonight: Join friends at a favorite spot!
cANcER (JUNE 21-JUly 22) HHHH You could be surprised by what someone says or does. Be aware of how much you have to offer. Make a point of listening to your inner voice; know what your limits are and what you want to express. Do not back yourself into a corner. Tonight: Shop on the way home.
lEO (JUly 23-AUG. 22) HHHHH You unexpectedly could beam in what you desire and surprise your-self. Express your caring, especially as it is obvious and you can’t deny the strength of your feelings. Be will-ing to put yourself on the line when dealing with a friend or loved one. To-night: All smiles.
VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEpT. 22) HHH A partner could surprise you with his or her reaction to what you are doing. You might need to pull back more in order to see why a certain situa-tion is developing. Remain upbeat. Someone who usually is closed off will show a willingness to talk. To-night: Get a good night’s sleep.
lIBRA (SEpT. 23-OcT. 22) HHHH You’ll wonder about someone’s sur-prising appearance or unexpected availability. Do not assume that this person’s action or stance is a because of a change of perspective. Make the most of this special moment. Tonight: Only what you want, and only with the company you want.
ScORpIO (OcT. 23-NOV. 21) HHH You might be far too involved with a situation. Be more aware of your im-age and chosen direction. You know exactly what you want and why. Do not back off, but do observe others’ responses. You might want to rethink your position. Tonight: A force to be
dealt with.
SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEc. 21) HHHH You can’t go wrong with spontaneity. You might wonder which way to go, and might over-think the issue as a result. Impulsive-ness is favored. You could hear some surprising news from a loved one and feel delighted. Tonight: Detach rather than get triggered.
cApRIcORN (DEc. 22-JAN. 19) HHHH Deal with a partner directly. Know that you might need to revise your thinking as a result of this con-versation. You will get a better under-standing of what someone might be thinking. Working closely with one person promises better results. To-night: Togetherness is the theme.
AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHHH You experience events and see people differently from how the majority of others do. That is one of your strengths. Do not feel as if you have to prove yourself. You could be surprised by someone you encounter today. Tonight: Have a long-overdue conversation.
pIScES (FEB. 19-MARch 20) HH You still might be better off if you say “no” to a risk, especially if it involves your finances. The unexpected runs riot through your finances, and it also af-fects others’ behavior. If need be, ex-press your caring through actions, not words. Tonight: Make a special offer to a loved one.

Exhibit examines Lincoln’s decisions
althistory.comThe 16th President Abraham Lincoln is featured in the exhibit.
BY LACEY PALMERA&E EDITOR
“Lincoln: The Consti-tution and the Civil War,” a traveling exhibition, has been on display for two weeks at The Erickson Alumni Center. During the exhibition’s final days on display, award-winning au-thor Kenneth C. Martis will deliver a closing lecture Tuesday in The Erickson Alumni Center’s Barnette Room.
The exhibition sheds light on how President Lincoln consulted the Constitution while dealing with the crises of the Civil War, including the secession of Southern states, slavery and wartime civil liberties.
Opening on West Virginia Day, June 20, the exhibit was presented in conjunction with the West Virginia Uni-versity Libraries’ West Vir-ginia Day celebration, as the state celebrated 150 years of statehood last month.
The West Virginia & Re-gional History Center, lo-cated on the sixth floor of the Downtown Campus Li-brary, specifically assists in planning exhibits such as “Lincoln: The Constitution
and the Civil War.”“The Lincoln exhibit fea-
tures large panels full of re-productions of photographs, documents and statements by and about Lincoln. It is traveling the country and fo-cusing on the hard choices that Lincoln had to make,” said John Cuthbert, director of the West Virginia & Re-gional History Center.
The exhibit features pho-tographic reproductions of original documents, in-cluding a draft of Lincoln’s first inaugural speech, the Emancipation Proclamation and the Thirteenth Amend-ment. Based on an exhibi-tion of the same name de-veloped by the National Constitution Center, the ex-hibit was organized by the National Constitution Cen-ter and the American Li-brary Association Public Programs Office and made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
According to Cuthbert, the exhibit focuses on as-pects such as the difficult decision Lincoln made to forcibly go to war in order to preserve the union, democ-racy, freedom and citizens’ rights suspended as a result
of the war, slavery and the creation of West Virginia.
“Many people thought (the creation of West Vir-ginia) was contradictory be-cause you fight a war to keep states within the union, yet it was okay to let part of a state secede from another state – at least that’s the way southern Virginians looked at it,” Cuthbert said.
Ken Martis, a retired WVU geography professor and recipient of the 2007 WVU Foundation Outstand-ing Teacher Award, will dis-cuss Lincoln’s role in the state’s founding, as well as his fight for a second term.
The West Virginia & Re-gional History Center on the sixth floor of the Down-town Campus Library also features original items, such as the 35-star flag, a land grant signed by Benjamin Franklin and 19th century currency.
“People need to know where they come from and what their history is,” Cuth-bert said. “When you’re young, you don’t think about it so much as you go about your daily life, figure out how to meet all your needs and get comfortable, but as you grow and you
wonder where you fit in the world, that’s when you start to delve into history, both generally and personally.”

NEW YORK (AP) — Amanda Bynes wore a long aqua wig, false eye-lashes and black sweat-pants and a tank top for a brief court appearance Tuesday on allegations that she chucked a mar-ijuana bong out the win-dow of her 36th-floor Manhattan apartment.
The 27-year-old actress did not speak during the hearing that lasted mere minutes, but she drew a throng of photographers and television cameras as she entered and left the criminal court building in lower Manhattan. Neither she nor her attorney spoke to reporters outside court.
Bynes was arrested May 23 after building officials at her midtown apart-ment called police to com-plain that she was rolling a joint and smoking pot in the lobby. Officers went to her apartment, where they said they saw heavy smoke and a bong sit-ting on the kitchen coun-ter. They said she tossed the bong out the window in front of them, accord-ing to prosecutors. A day later, in her first court ap-pearance, she wore a di-sheveled blond wig.
Bynes rose to fame star-ring in Nickelodeon’s “All That” and has also starred in several films, includ-ing 2010’s “Easy A.” But she has been in the news more recently because of several scrapes with the
law and bizarre public behavior.
In a Twitter post after her first court appearance, she accused the officers who arrested her of sexual assault; police are looking into her claims. She also has taken to social media to criticize a host of celeb-rities recently.
Bynes had no previ-ous arrests in New York, but she was involved in several California cases. In December, the “Hair-spray” star resolved a mis-demeanor hit-and-run case after entering into a civil settlement with other drivers. She was charged last fall with driving on a suspended license after it was temporarily taken away from her follow-ing two hit-and-run cases where she was accused of leaving the scene without providing proper informa-tion. She has also pleaded not guilty to drunken driv-ing in a separate case.
It’s not clear how the New York case will affect the California ones.
Manhattan prosecutors filed an affidavit from her building manager, Rudy Toro, corroborating po-lice and prosecutors’ ac-count of the tale. Bynes’ next court appearance was scheduled for Sept. 26.
She left court with her attorney, Gerald Shargel, wearing sunglasses into a waiting black Mercedes sedan.

Warrants: Aaron Hernandez ‘argumentative’ with copsATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP)
— Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was ''argumen-tative'' and slammed the door on police during their first encounter following his friend's death, accord-ing to court records.
He also called his girl-friend's cellphone and stopped her from speak-ing with police after they pulled her over and told her the friend, Odin Lloyd, was dead.
Hernandez was later accused of orchestrating Lloyd's death in an indus-trial park near Hernandez's home.
According to an affidavit attached to search warrants unsealed Tuesday, Hernan-dez approached police af-ter he noticed them parked outside his North Attleboro home on June 17, the day
Lloyd's body was found.Police said they asked
him about an SUV he had rented. Hernandez told them he rented it for Lloyd and had last seen him in Boston the day before, the documents said.
The affidavit then said Hernandez became argu-mentative, asked ''what's with all the questions?'' and locked the door of his house behind him.
He then returned with his attorney's business card, and didn't respond when police told him they were investigating a death.
“ M r. H e r n a n d e z slammed the door and re-locked it behind him,” the records read. “Mr. Her-nandez did not ask officers whose death was being in-vestigated. Mr. Hernan-dez's demeanor did not in-dicate any concern for the
death of any person.”Hernandez came out
about 10 minutes later and agreed to be questioned at a police station, according to the documents.
Hernandez is being held without bail after pleading not guilty to murder in the killing of Lloyd, whose bul-let-ridden body was found in an industrial area near Hernandez's North Attle-borough home.
His attorneys have said the evidence against him is circumstantial and that Hernandez is anxious to clear his name.
Eight search warrants were unsealed Tues-day after news organiza-tions sought access to the records.
The search warrants re-veal the breadth of the in-vestigation, with author-ities scouring through
everything from Hernan-dez's house to the contents of his team locker, which the Patriots had emptied into a container.
Among the items police seized were a rifle and am-munition found in Hernan-dez's home.
The records also de-tailed a discussion police had with Hernandez's girl-friend, Shayanna Jenkins, after she dropped him off at the police station.
Police said they pulled her over and she immedi-ately burst into tears when she heard Lloyd was dead. She later told them she had last seen him two days earlier, according to the documents.
She also said she had been out to a Father's Day dinner with Hernandez on June 16, but they returned home early and she went
to bed. She said Hernan-dez was away that night and she didn't know who he was with.
The records said Jenkins then received a call from Hernandez, who told her his agent had advised him to tell her not to speak to police.
The documents also of-fer some details about June 14, the Friday before the shooting, when prose-cutors say Hernandez and Lloyd went to a Boston nightclub, Rumor. Prosecu-tors say Hernandez orches-trated Lloyd's shooting be-cause he was upset at him for talking to certain people at the club.
One witness who works in the area near Rumor told police he saw Hernandez entering the club with what appeared to be a handgun, the documents said.
And Lloyd's girlfriend said Lloyd told her he was out with Hernandez that night and they didn't come home because they'd got-ten drunk and slept else-where, according to the records.
Also Tuesday, a man who faces a gun charge in the case agreed to remain in jail until a hearing next month.
Carlos Ortiz, 27, ap-peared in Attleboro Dis-trict Court, where a hear-ing to determine if he is a danger to the community was scheduled for Aug. 14. If Ortiz is determined to be dangerous, he can be held without bail for 90 days.
Ortiz is from Hernan-dez's hometown of Bris-tol, Conn., and authorities say he was with Hernandez when they picked up Lloyd the night he was killed.
Cleveland Cavaliers offer Andrew Bynum 2-year deal
CLEVELAND (AP) – An-drew Bynum has a new team waiting for him.
The enigmatic free-agent center, who didn't play a single second for Philadel-phia last season because of knee injuries, is mulling a two-year offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers, a per-son familiar with the nego-tiations told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Cleveland made the of-fer, which includes a team option in the second year, during his visit to the Cavs' facility Monday. Bynum did not work out but the team examined him thoroughly.
The person with knowl-edge of the negotiations spoke on condition of ano-nymity because of the sen-sitivity of the talks. Yahoo! Sports first reported Cleve-land's offer and said it was worth $24 million.
The 25-year-old Bynum had arthroscopic surgery on both knees in March, but the Cavs apparently are confident he will return to the form that made him one of the NBA's best centers.
They're also counting on him thriving under Cleve-land coach Mike Brown, who has returned to the Cavs after being fired three years ago. Brown and By-num spent one season to-gether with the Los Angeles Lakers and the 7-footer had his best year, averaging 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds. Over the past four seasons, Bynum has averaged 14.7 points and 9.5 rebounds.
Cleveland has competi-tion in its pursuit of Bynum, who was scheduled to meet with the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday and is expected to visit Dallas on Wednesday.
The Mavericks need a big man after losing out in the Dwight Howard sweepstakes.
It's not clear when By-num will make his de-cision. The NBA's free-a g e n c y m o ra t o r i u m period ends Wednesday.
His agent, David Lee, did not immediately re-spond to a phone message.
The Cavs have already landed forward Earl Clark and guard Jarrett Jack in free agency and are look-ing to move up quickly. They would immediately vault into contention in the Eastern Conference with a healthy Bynum paired with All-Star guard Kyrie Irving and a ros-ter that includes forward Tristan Thompson, guard Dion Waiters and forward Anthony Bennett, the No. 1 overall pick in last month's draft.
The Sixers acquired By-num last summer from the Lakers as part of a four-team trade.
Bynum, who made $16.9 million despite not play-ing last season, never got healthy enough to get on the floor with the Sixers.
The Cavs would be tak-ing a risk with Bynum that could have huge rewards. He would instantly raise their profile and probably get them back to the play-offs after winning just 66 games combined the past three seasons. In giving him only a two-year deal, they would not be tying up much money which would allow them to stay flexible next summer when several top-tier free agents –possi-bly LeBron James–will be on the market.

Can Sims live up to the hype?
I may be going a bit over-board when writing this col-umn. Out of sheer excite-ment, however, I feel that this needs to be done.
In terms of running backs, there hasn’t been this much excitement and hype for one particular player since Noel Devine tore up defenses a few years ago. There needs to be some mention for what Houston transfer Charles Sims can bring to the table.
After viewing several highlight tapes of what Sims could do on the gridiron, I must say this year could be very exciting in terms of production.
Earlier this week, six play-ers from the Big 12 Confer-ence made the watch list for the Maxwell Award – an award given annually to college football’s top player. Alongside Sims, Texas quar-terback David Ash, Okla-homa quarterback Blake Bell, Kansas State running back John Hubert, TCU quarterback Casey Pachall and Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk all made the list.
While being mentioned on the list may be a bit pre-mature with Sims only be-ing on the WVU roster for a little while, it is interesting to keep up with what he’ll be able to bring to the West Virginia offense. There’s def-initely a possibility that he’ll be used in many schemes.
It was also interesting to see Sims get the nod over two experienced backs for West Virginia in juniors Dustin Garrison and An-drew Buie. In 2009, Sims started his impressive re-sume with 698 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. His 70 receptions were good for 759 receiving yards and a touchdown.
In 2011, Sims had ar-guably his most produc-tive season with 821 rush-ing yards on 110 attempts and nine touchdowns. Re-ceiving-wise, he was also productive with 51 recep-tions for 575 yards and four touchdowns. Last year, the elusive running back ran for 851 yards for 11 touch-downs, while also catching 37 balls for 373 yards and three touchdowns.
In those nine games with the Cougars in 2012, Sims had one more yard than WVU’s leading rusher in Buie (850 yards in 13 games).
Could Sims produce the same type of numbers for the Mountaineers? At this point, it is difficult to tell, but it would be impressive since West Virginia has plenty of more depth at the position than it did a year ago.
I, for one, am excited to see what Sims could bring to this offense. If one thing is clear, it’s that head coach Dana Holgorsen will pro-vide Sims opportunities for success with his offensive mindset.
The senior is expected to be a top NFL prospect fol-lowing this season, so a productive season could do wonders for his stock.
Start getting excited, Mountaineer fans; the run-ning game looks as promis-ing as ever.

The National Football League has seen its share of fads and gimmicks in re-cent years. Many of those ascended from the college game to the pro level. One of the gimmicks was the “Wildcat” offense, made famous at Kansas State in 1997 and 1998, and then again with Darren McFad-den at Arkansas in 2007.
The “Wildcat” eventu-ally trickled up to the NFL and managed to provide the Miami Dolphins with success in 2008, with Ron-nie Brown or Ricky Wil-liams doing the running. But then the NFL caught up, defensive coordina-tors combated the “Wild-cat” and it became a thing of the past.
The latest trend in the
league is the read option. With an influx of dual threat quarterbacks like Robert Griffin III, Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepe-rnick, offensive coordina-tors have made the tran-sition seamless for these guys by installing some of the same read option plays that they ran in college.
Whether or not the read option is a fad or around for good is still unknown.
It is going to get a fair chance, though, especially with the talent running the plays and even teams like the Eagles hiring a coach like Chip Kelly, who ran the up-tempo, read option while at Oregon.
Naturally, the next col-lege offense to at least get a try in the NFL is the “Air Raid” offense. It’s high-powered and fast-paced and has been done at West
Virginia and throughout the Big 12 Conference; the “Air Raid” puts elite throwers in a great posi-tion to move up and down the field.
In the NFL, the New Or-leans Saints have led the NFL in passing four out of the last six seasons by becoming really the pass happy offense of the NFL. During that time, quarter-back Drew Brees has been terrific under head coach Sean Payton. Through the 2011 season, the Saints ac-tually threw the ball 472 times, compared to run-ning the football 431 times, giving reason to believe that an “Air Raid” offense could work in the NFL.
“We think we have an ‘Air Raid’ offense,” Payton said. “Offenses are always evolving as to what teams do. I think most impor-
tantly, though, is not the offense, but the offense you’re asking your person-nel to utilize.”
Payton even pointed out the ability to adjust his of-fense to the players that he had. In years where he has more talent in the re-ceiving core than the back-field, he’s tended to be more likely to increase the number of times he opts to throw the football.
For instance, in 2011 his personnel in Marques Colston, Lance Moore, Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles had Payton calling more pass plays because all of those guys could catch the football.
“We try to take into ac-count what our guys can do well, what they can’t and try to build around it,” Pay-ton said.
Because of Payton’s flex-
ibility to comprehend his personnel, he understands the importance to be bal-anced. For as much as the Saints have had success throwing the football dur-ing their Super Bowl run in 2009, Payton actually called run plays 90 more times than he called pass plays. He understood that Mike Bell, Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush were more likely to help his team win than Marques Colston, Devery Hender-son and Jeremy Shockey.
“I think that balance is important for us. It’s been a good formula; it worked in 2006, 2009, 2010 and 2011,” Payton said. “If we get one dimensional, I think it just becomes easier for oppo-nents to play against us.”
If a true Big 12, Hal Mumme or Mike Leach branched, “Air Raid” of-
fense ever gets a chance in the NFL, it won’t be about if the “Air Raid” will work or not; it’ll be about whether or not the coach who gets the chance is flex-ible enough to adjust to his personnel. Whether it is Kevin Sumlin, who report-edly was offered the Eagles’ job before Chip Kelly was, or Dana Holgorsen, who has been tabbed as one of the top offensive minds ever, they would have to be flexible at the next level.
“The NFL’s ever-chang-ing. Again I think it de-pends on who your play-ers are,” Payton said.
“I think you see teams change with the quar-terbacks that they have. I think it really is all on your personnel.”

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va – At the 2010 Greenbrier Classic, Stu-art Appleby won the tournament by demolishing the Old White TPC. Appleby shot a 258 (-22) overall and set a course round record with a 59 on the final day of play.
That record served as the catalyst for the Greenbrier to make adjust-ments to one of the nation’s most historic courses.
After that point, the Classic has stretched its course, making shots greater in distance and tougher to score on.
Three years later, Appleby has completed his first two rounds at the 2013 edition of the classic. Shooting a 141 (+1) and cut after the first two rounds, Appleby no-ticed the changes in the course.
“Just about every hole is longer,” Appleby said. “The course is a lot longer.”
When looking at actual length, the course has literally been stretched. Designed in 1914, the Old White TCP has overcome res-torations and innovation to remain one of the United States’ most his-toric courses. And in addition to the restorations, the original of the Greenbrier Resort’s three courses, now measures 7,287 yards – an increase of 256 yards from 2010, when Appleby won the Greenbrier Classic. Furthermore, the chance of hitting a green in regulation has also gone down.
“It definitely makes it a little harder. If the greens were a lit-tle firmer, the ball would run. So anytime the ball is running away four or five yards, it becomes a lit-
tle harder to land my shot,” Appleby said.
The defending champion, Ted Potter Jr., won the 2012 Classic by shooting a 264 (-16) for the tour-nament. Potter Jr. even admit-ted that changes were made from even a year ago, when he won the tournament.
“The biggest change is that the course is so much softer this year. Last year it played a lot shorter. The fairways were a lot firmer so the ball rolled 20 or 30 yards when you hit your tee shot. This year you have to almost land it behind the hole and spin it back to the hole, so it’s def-initely a lot softer this year,” Pot-ter said.
Potter finished the tournament at 271 (-9) and tied for sixth.
Even 2011 Greenbrier Champ, Scott Stallings, who played well this past weekend finishing 6-under for the tournament, felt there were ma-jor differences.
“It was so firm when we played (in 2011), I remember some of the clubs I hit in, like I hit 9 iron into 12, and today Bubba (Watson) and I both hit 2 iron and it’s just totally different with the fairways being soft.
“It’s funny how different it plays from year to year,” Stallings said.
While the course has proved more difficult for past Greenbrier Champions Appleby and Pot-ter, it has served others very well throughout the weekend. The 2013 Classic Champion, Jonas Blixt, fin-ished the tournament 13 under par. Tommy Gainey and Johnson Wag-ner set low day one first round re-cords, shooting a 62 (-8).

Last Wednesday, West Virginia Athletic Director Oliver Luck an-nounced that WVU and Virginia Tech will renew its rivalry for a two-game series beginning in 2021. Once again, both schools will battle for the Black Diamond Tro-phy starting with the 2021 game in Morgantown. The 2022 game will be played in Blacksburg.
“I want to thank Virginia Tech Athletic Director Jim Weaver and Coach Frank Beamer for their ef-forts in helping to get the two teams back on the football field,” Luck said. “It will be a great day for all involved when the rivalry is renewed; this game is great for college football. We all know that
the two schools have extraordinary fan bases, and both schools will be counting down the days until the Hokies and the Mountaineers meet again.”
This rivalry has been played 51 times since 1912, with WVU hold-ing a 28-22-1 advantage in the se-ries. The last time the game was played was a 2005 Big East Con-ference game, with the Hokies de-feating the Mountaineers, 34-17. Since that time, the rivalry was put on hold.
“During my three years as Ath-letic Director at West Virginia Uni-versity, I have heard from legions of Mountaineer fans, particularly those in the southern part of the state, who have expressed their strong sentiments to renew the football rivalry with Virginia Tech,”
Luck said. Sims Named to Maxwell Award
Watch ListWest Virginia newcomer Charles
Sims has been named to the 2013 Maxwell Award watch list. The Maxwell Award has been given to college football’s player of the year annually since 1937. Sims, starred at Houston from 2009-2012, total-ing 2370 rushing yards, 1707 re-ceiving yards and 37 touchdowns.
Now at WVU, Sims has an oppor-tunity to thrive on offense under Dana Holgorsen. Likely to play in the backfield and in the slot at dif-ferent times, Sims is expected to be a playmaker for the Mountaineers.
Sims was one of six Big 12 play-ers to make the watch list along with Texas’ David Ash, Oklaho-ma’s Blake Bell, Kansas State’s John
Hubert, TCU’s Casey Pachall and Baylor’s Lache Seastrunk. Semi-finalists for the award will be an-nounced Oct. 29.
Sanders Named CFL Player of Special Teamer of the Week
Former WVU wide receiver Jock Sanders was named the Canadian Football League’s Special Teams Player of the Week. Sanders had great success in the return game during week two and helped his team, the Saskatchewan Roughrid-ers defeat the Calgary Stampeders 36-21. Sanders returned four kick-offs for 100 yards and six punts for 74 yards. Sanders currently sits fourth in the league in return yards with 266 on the season.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. — Sunday’s final round at the Greenbrier had a little bit of everything for golf fans. The round started early with several big names teeing off one final time. By late morning, a hole-in-one was recorded by Luke List and the contenders were on the driving range getting ready to chase down, or in Johnson Wagner’s case, hold off the rest of the field. Then, in early afternoon, the rain came and the waiting began.
PGA Tour officials called for a weather delay at the Greenbrier at approxi-mately 1:50 p.m., just be-fore the top four players on the leader board began
play. Rain soaked the pris-tine golf course that had been groomed so well for the tournament.
Play didn’t restart at the tournament until just after 5 p.m. with the final group teeing off around 5:10 p.m. The talk around America’s Resort was that the round had to be quick if they were going to beat the falling sun and postponing the cham-pionship round by a night.
Wagner, a Virginia Tech graduate, owned a two-shot lead over the rest of the golf-ers heading into the final round. He became a fan fa-vorite this week because of his collegiate background. The Greenbrier sits just over 70 miles away from where the Virginia Tech campus rests in Blacksburg, Va. On
Sunday, he wore an orange hat with maroon slacks in honor of his alma mater.
After Wagner bogeyed the second hole, he settled down by shooting one-un-der through the next 11 holes. It all started to un-ravel when he lost a shot at holes 11, 13 and 15. He fin-ished the round at 3-over on the day and 11-under for the tournament.
Meanwhile, 29-year-old Swedish-born Jonas Blixt took advantage of the rain-soaked course and nailed five birdies in his fi-nal round. He caught Wag-ner after he birdied the 12th hole and went to 12-under for the weekend. Blixt never looked back.
“It’s kind of hard to catch a guy who is four shots ahead
of you,” Blixt said. “I was lucky enough I could put some pressure on him and just tried to play my best.”
Blixt and Wagner shared the lead for three holes be-fore Blixt’s birdie on hole 15 put him on solely at the top. He followed it up with an-other birdie on the next hole to lengthen a lead he would not surrender.
“(It means) the world, absolutely the world,” he said. “It’s really cool to be here and just enjoy every-one and then to actually win – yeah, it’s really cool.”
The Greenbrier is Blixt’s second career win on the PGA Tour. The first came in 2012 at the Frys.com Open. His victory earned him $1.1 million and a spot in next year’s Masters, the
world’s most prestigious golf tournament.
Blixt said after the tour-nament that “once is luck, twice is skill” in terms of winning on the PGA Tour. He started the tourna-ment at No. 139 in the Fe-dEx Cup standings. After his victory at the Green-brier, Blixt moved up 100 spots to No. 39 and in great position to qualify for golf ’s version of post-season playoffs at the end of the year.
Four players tied for second place at the Green-brier, including Wagner. The other three included Australians Matt Jones and Steven Bowditch and American Jimmy Walker.
Sunday’s championship round didn’t conclude un-
til almost 9 p.m. with the sun completely set. Green-brier chairman Jim Jus-tice and PGA Tour officials monitored the playing con-ditions all throughout the round. Blixt’s championship ceremony on the 18th green would have been completely in the dark if it wasn’t for the help of a spotlight from above.
Blixt’s victory marks the second time in four years that a non-American has won the tournament. Stuart Appleby of Australia was the first to do it in 2010, the first year of the event.
So, what’s next for Blixt? “I’m just really happy that
I get to go home and see my family,” he said.
Blixt beats darkness to capture second PGA Tour win in 2013 Greenbrier ClassicAP
Jonas Blixt, of Sweden, won the 2013 Greenbrier Classic this weekend.
