KING OF ANYTHING

Evive introduces ‘green’ bottlesby megan calderado

staff writer

Evive Station employees will be on West Virginia University’s campus, today handing out new,“green” reusable water bottles, as well as the original blue bottles to students.

Two of Evive’s original five founders are West Vir-ginia University alumni, and their stations have now expanded to six uni-versities in addition cor-porate offices, hospitals and fitness centers.

“We want to promote sustainability and thank the population of stu-dents,” said Anthony Za-biegalski, an Evive em-ployee. “Without WVU, we wouldn’t be able to test this company and have it grow as much as it has.”

Evive Stations arrived on campus in April 2012 as a first test-run for the company.

Now, stations around campus are used between 200-400 times a day. Be-cause of this success, WVU will be the first to experience the new green bottles.

“They’re the same type, just a new color,” Zabie-galski said. “We want to educate the new class of students about the prod-uct – how it’s grown and the importance of sustainability.”

By having a blue or green Evive Station water bottle, students are able to take advantage of this en-vironmentally-friendly so-lution that came from the WVU community.

Jenna Parke, a senior

marketing student at WVU and an Evive intern, said she will be handing out free Evive bottles to stu-dents who fill out an ex-tended profile on the Evive website.

“For students, getting this bottle will save a lot of money because you don’t have to buy a pack of wa-ter bottles every month or spend money on sin-gle bottles of water,” she said. “So, if you buy the Evive bottle, you won’t be spending as much, and you’ll be keeping bottles out of landfills.”

Zabiegalski said stu-dents who use Evive bot-tles are helping to dimin-ish the amount of plastic that ends up in landfills each year.

“Sustainability’s be-coming more and more

important every day,” Za-biegalski said. “Having one reusable bottle can change landfills dramat-ically, so being able to clean it and fill it on the go – especially for kids in dorms, who maybe don’t have dishwashers, is huge.”

Water bottles should be cleaned every day, and at an Evive Station, it takes 60 seconds to clean and refill the bottle for free.

During the minute the station takes to clean and fill the bottle, users see a variety of personalized ad-vertisements and special offers.

Triathlon makes a splash, benefits habitat

More than 150 residents filled Marilla Park Satur-day morning to participate in Morgantown’s 8th an-nual Sprint, Splash ‘n’ Spin triathlon.

The event consisted of a 300-meter swim, a 10.9- mile bike ride and a 3.1-mile run. Those who participated in teams were permitted to split the course into a relay format.

Sarah Dodd, a junior exer-cise physiology student, par-ticipated in the triathlon re-lay style with her teammates from the West Virginia Uni-versity women’s rowing team.

“It was awesome to have my teammates there be-cause we had each other for support,” Dodd said.

“We were cheering for each other the whole way, just like we do at practice and at our meets during the year.”

Dodd ran the running portion after her teammates completed the swimming and biking portions.

“I’ve never participated in a triathlon before, so it was really cool to see how the whole event works,” she said. “Now that I’ve got an idea, I’m definitely doing the whole race as an individual next year.

It was also refreshing to see people of all ages partic-ipating in the triathlon.”

Ages of racers varied from three years old to more 70 years old.

The Entrepreneurs’ Or-ganization is calling young business owners in the Mid-Atlantic region to partici-pate in its competition for the Global Student Entrepre-neur Awards.

For the first time ever, the Washington D.C. chapter of the Entrepreneurs’ Organiza-tion will hold a regional com-petition, and the organization is encouraging Mountaineers to get involved.

GSEA is an annual compe-tition for undergraduate stu-dents who own and operate their own businesses. Student entrepreneurs from more than 25 countries around the world compete in re-gional competitions to win a chance at going head- to- head against the best student entrepreneurs in the world.

Michael Goldstein, D.C. chapter organizer for the En-trepreneurs’ Organization

said the fact the competi-tion includes patrons sets this competition apart from others.

“Having paying custom-ers makes this a more elite group,” Goldstein said.

Six students will be given the opportunity to com-pete Sept. 16 in Washing-ton D.C. Each student will be given 30 minutes to pres-ent their business plans to the judges. The winner will receive a cash prize of $2500 and will go on to compete in the global competition.

The global competition will also be held in D.C. in November, and student en-trepreneurs from around the world will participate in the events.

Goldstein said the com-petition offers much more to students than simply win-ning the cash prize.

when you sign in and use a machine, you can redeem coupons right there that are tailored to your inter-ests,” Zabiegalski said.

The Evive machines also tell users how many bot-tles he or she is keeping out of the landfill, just by using it that one time. On top of saving the world, it’s also convenient for students.

“It’s on campus, and it’s outside of some of the classrooms,” Parke said. “Say you have juice in the morning, you can go to one of the stations during the day and clean it and you’ll have clean water the rest of the day.”

While Zabiegalski said

he thinks it’s important for students to be aware of the importance of sustain-ability, he also wants to remind students they can take their own path after college and be successful.

“The fact that this was started by WVU alum and has grown as much as it has is important. Students think they’ll graduate and have to go into the corpo-rate scene and fit a mold,” he said. “They can have a large impact, and it doesn’t just have to be joining a large company – they can be an entrepreneur.”

Evive workers will be handing out water bot-tles at Towers and Sum-mit Hall.

If someone doesn’t know what they want, Wild Zero is also available to as-sist them in the decision making process.

“We never pressure any-one to get a tattoo, but we encourage people to look at the portfolios and show them that it’s good work,” Perrott said. “There is a lot of custom work that goes on here, and artists take a lot of time with each customer to give them a quality tattoo.”

The employees at Wild

Zero said they always en-courage patrons who are not fully confident in their tattoo decision to wait to get tattooed un-til they are fully ready to commit.

“If someone’s on the borderline between decid-ing whether or not to get a tattoo, I would say wait un-til they are confident about getting a tattoo,” Christos said. “We don’t try to push anybody into getting any-thing; we want people to make the decision on their own.”

The shop is open seven days a week. Their hours are Monday-Saturday 11 a.m.-10 p.m. and Sunday

noon -7 p.m. Wild Zero currently

has three stations, but they look forward to ex-panding and adding more.

“I get to do what I love every single day,” Chris-tos said. “I enjoy the his-tory of tattooing and all aspects of it – technically, aesthetically and cultur-ally. I know for a fact I will be tattooing for as long as I’m physically capable of tattooing.”

proud to help set up transi-tion areas for a local race.

“We’re happy to support a hometown race,” Yocum said. “This is great for fitness and great to do it in a fun way.”

Yokum said the sprint dis-tance is perfect for racers new to the triathlon.

She also said the other ad-vantage to the race is that it’s easy, flat and fast.

Instead of swimming in open water, the swim portion was held in the Marilla Pool.

Yokum said this makes it easier for beginners because each participant swims in their own lane.

Proceeds from the event benefitted the Monongalia County Habitat for Humanity.

Currently Habitat for Hu-manity is working on their

700th home in the state of West Virginia and their 42nd home in Monongalia County.

Although turnout was down by about 100 people from last year’s event, the Morgantown community made up for it in the level of support. More than 70 volun-teers gave up their Saturday morning to help out with the race.

On the event’s Facebook page race coordinators said they were extremely thank-ful for the support and partic-ipation of the entire Morgan-town area.

“We are so incredibly thankful to all the racers who came out, all our amazing sponsors, and all the fantastic volunteers. We could not have made this two day race happen without the help of our volun-teers to keep the race course safe.”

The Global Student Entre-preneur Awards competition aims to support early-stage student entrepreneurs who may need mentorship, rec-ognition and connections in order to improve their busi-nesses and obtain ultimate success.

According to the GSEA website, applicants must be enrolled in an undergraduate program at a recognized col-lege or university, own a rev-enue-generating for-profit business that has been oper-ational for a minimum of six consecutive months and be principally responsible for the operation of the company at the time of application.

The deadline for students to apply is Sept. 2. Applica-tions and other competition information can be found at www.gseadc.org.

divide over religious exemptions on gay marriage

The battle over gay mar-riage is heating up in the states, energizing religious groups that oppose same-sex relationships – but also dividing them.

In June, the U.S. Supreme Court gave married gays and heterosexuals equal status under federal law, but did not declare a na-tionwide right for gays to marry, setting the stage for state-by-state decisions. So faith leaders are forming new coalitions and prepar-ing for the legislative and courtroom battles ahead.

Yet, traditional religious leaders, their supporters and the First Amendment attorneys advising them are divided over strategy and goals, raising questions about how much they can influence the outcome:

Several religious lib-erty experts say conserva-tive faith groups should take a pragmatic approach given the advances in gay rights. Offer to stop fight-ing same-sex marriage laws in exchange for broad reli-gious exemptions, these at-torneys say. “If they need to get those religious ac-commodations, they’re go-ing to have to move now,” said Robin Fretwell Wil-son, a family law specialist at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. Critics reject the idea as a prema-ture surrender.

Religious leaders lob-bying for exemptions can’t agree how broad they should be. A major differ-ence is over whether for-profit companies should qualify for a faith-based exception.

Some religious liberty advocates and faith leaders are telling houses of worship they could be forced to host gay weddings, with their clergy required to officiate. The Louisiana Baptist Con-

vention is advising congre-gations to rewrite their by-laws to state they only allow heterosexual marriage cer-emonies, and the Alliance Defending Freedom, a reli-gious liberty group that op-poses same-sex marriage, is advising the same. But legal experts across a spectrum of views on gay rights say it can’t happen given strong First Amendment protec-tions for what happens in-side the sanctuary.

“A few people at both ends of the spectrum have talked about religion and religious freedom in a way that is really destructive,” said Brian Walsh, execu-tive director of the Ethics & Public Policy’s American Religious Freedom program which has formed legisla-tive caucuses so far in 18 states. “I think they’ve made it polarized and difficult to understand.”

The issue of accommo-dating religious opponents has already been a sticking point in legislative battles. In Rhode Island and Dela-ware, disputes over broader religious exemptions led to the failure of some same-sex union bills. Both states went on to approve civil unions in 2011, then same-sex marriage this year. In New York, gay marriage be-came law only after Gov. An-drew Cuomo and the state’s top two legislators struck an eleventh-hour compromise on religious exemptions.

Still, advocates for stron-ger religious protections haven’t won anything close to what they’ve sought in the 13 states and the District of Columbia where gay mar-riage has been recognized.

A few states have ap-proved specific religious ex-emptions related to housing or pre-marital counseling, or benefits for workers in private, faith-based groups,

such as the Knights of Co-lumbus, a Catholic frater-nal organization, according to analysis by Fretwell Wil-son. Most of the states have protected religiously affili-ated nonprofits from poten-tial government penalty for refusing to host same-sex marriage ceremonies.

The only other protec-tion written into the laws is a provision First Amend-ment scholars consider re-dundant: All spell out that clergy are exempt from per-forming same-sex ceremo-nies and can’t be sued for their refusal.

The overall result : a patchwork of regulation, with gaps that are likely to become the target of law-suits. Massachusetts and Iowa, where same-sex marriage won recognition through the courts, have approved no enhanced re-ligious exemptions related to the rulings.

The statehouse negotia-tions concern what, if any, exemptions religious be-lievers should have in the public arena. Should a reli-gious social service agency with government fund-ing be required to legally recognize married same-sex couples in all circum-stances? Should a congre-gation that makes money renting property to the pub-lic be required to allow gay wedding receptions in the space?

Some advocates go fur-ther, arguing religious ac-commodations should extend in some cases to in-dividuals. In this view, own-ers of a mom-and-pop bak-ery that makes wedding cakes should be exempt. So too should the county clerk who issues marriage licenses, as long as some-one else in the clerk’s office can step in easily and pro-vide the service.

Caged Power brings boxing, MMA to Waterfront

Wythe Woods/the dAILy AtheNAeUMNathan “Bamm” Bryant, left, won his first professional victory in heavyweight mixed martial arts Friday.

Wythe Woods/the dAILy AtheNAeUMEric Watkins gets a hit on his opponent during Caged Power Friday.

BY HUNTER HOMISTEKA&E WRITER

An unlikely birthday present. A controversial fin-ish. A life-altering victory.

Simons Promotions’ Caged Power 8 delivered high drama and high in-tensity for the 1,000 fans in attendance Friday evening at the Morgantown Event Center.

“I thought we had some incredible fights,” said event promoter Stephen Si-mons. “That was definitely one of our best cards, and I’m really happy with the way everything turned out.”

Highlighting the evening was the professional boxing main event between West Virginia University student and Morgantown resident Eric Watkins and Balti-more’s Willie Williams.

With a rowdy majority of the crowd in his corner, Watkins took home a unan-imous decision victory, se-curing the biggest win of his professional career over a tough veteran in Williams.

“That was definitely one of the toughest fights of my career,” Watkins said. “It was a war. I felt good, and I’m pleased with my perfor-mance, but the next step is to get back in the gym, get better, and work on new things.”

Fighting on his birthday, Watkins overcame power punches from Williams to out-strike his foe, gifting himself the perfect present for his special day.

“It definitely felt awe-some to get the win on my birthday,” Watkins said. “When I’m in the ring, though, it’s all business. I

wasn’t really thinking about that until after the fight.”

Before Watkins sent the crowd into a blissful cele-bration, tempers flared in the audience and in the ring, as Pittsburgh’s Paul “The Piston” Pindroh and Uniontown’s Eric Palmer fought to a majority draw in the night’s co-main event.

After a back-and-forth affair that saw each fighter land significant, crippling shots, a tie left the crowd and the fighters disap-pointed and heated.

Fighting back emotion, Palmer reflected on the re-sults and what it meant for him and his loved ones.

“I put so much into this,” he said. “I have a really close family, and the things I put them through when I train – it’s just hard for it to end that way.”

Making the situation worse, the ring announcer originally declared Palmer the winner before correct-ing himself and announc-ing the draw.

“That hurt for it to go like that,” Palmer said. “No ex-cuses about anything – that was a great fight – but I had bronchitis, I had two breathing treatments this morning before the fight, and I still thought I came in and won.”

These sentiments were echoed by Pindroh and his camp, who claimed they fought the smarter fight against an opponent who was reluctant to engage.

“I felt like I was con-trolling the pace, land-ing more shots and scor-ing more points,” Pindroh said. “I don’t know how I’m supposed to fight him

when he’s backpedaling the whole time. It’s hard to fight a guy who doesn’t want to fight.”

On the opposite end of the emotional spectrum, West Virginia’s Nathan “Bamm” Bryant scored his first professional victory in a heavyweight mixed mar-tial arts bout against a game opponent in Joseph Ray.

After a three-round, “rock-em-sock-em” style fight that brought the fans to their feet, Bryant walked away the proud recipient of a judges’ decision in front of his hometown crowd.

“This is definitely spe-cial,” Bryant said. “Not only to get my first win, but to get it here after all I’ve been through. It’s pretty amazing.”

Bryant’s previous strug-gles extended beyond the

cage, and the victory, he said, represents a defin-ing moment in his per-sonal and professional life.

“I just went through a di-vorce, too, and that’s harder than any fight inside the cage,” Bryant said. “This is really the first step for me for things getting better on every level. Now I can get back to feeling good and fighting the way I want to fight.”

With quick finishes, ex-tended battles and a touch of controversy to fuel the night’s inferno, Caged Power 8 delivered on all levels for fight fans in the Mountain State.

School of Theatre & Dance to host season full of theatrical favorites

KrIsteN BAshAM/the dAILy AtheNAeUMA scene from the 2011 performance of “Guys and Dolls” in the Creative Arts Center.

BY SHAWNEE MORANA&E WRITER

During the first week of classes, while most students are stressed about find-ing the right classroom or buying the right textbook, students involved with the West Virginia University School of Theatre & Dance had more on their minds as they auditioned for roles in upcoming productions “Cabaret” and “The Liar.”

On Monday, the depart-ment resumed the audition process for upcoming pro-ductions for the 2013-14 season. The process con-tinued throughout the week with callbacks, and after much anticipation, the cast lists for “Cabaret” and “The Liar” were posted Friday.

Lee Blair and Jim Knip-ple, the WVU professors who will be directing the productions, had an ex-citing week full of incred-ible talent and difficult decisions.

Blair, who will be direct-ing “Cabaret,” said he found the audition process both intense and enjoyable.

“I hope our audition pro-cess was both fun and in-tense for the students; I think it was for the musical director, the choreographer and myself,” Blair said. “We started on Monday (doing general auditions of mono-logues and songs) along with the next production, ‘The Liar’ by David Ives.

“We (then) broke into separate groups when we got into callbacks. Dur-ing ‘Cabaret’ callbacks, we heard actors, singers and dancers sing more, do a dance call and then read from the script. Every show is a challenge to cast.”

Theater student Ash-ley Koon found the audition process, in ad-dition to the first week of classes, overwhelming.

“Callbacks were a very long process; I actually haven’t even had time to get my books,” Koon said. “It was difficult because you had to be ready for class as well as prepared for the auditions.”

Senior theater student Adam Messenger said he also found the audition pro-cess challenging.

“I auditioned for the two shows at the same time,” Messenger said. “You have to stay on your feet when-ever auditions are held the first day of classes because you have to have time be-forehand to prepare your audition material.”

But the long week was worth it for many students when the cast list was posted on Friday.

In addition to Ashley Koon being cast as a fe-male ensemble member and Adam Messenger being cast as “Bobby” in the pro-duction, senior theater stu-dent Nora Perone also re-ceived fantastic news.

“I am deeply, deeply grateful to have been given the opportunity to play Sally Bowles in West Vir-ginia University’s produc-tion of ‘Cabaret’ – and I couldn’t have asked for a better cast, creative team and (of course) director to share the experience with,” Perone said. “It’s really ex-citing because I think this musical will appeal to a wide audience.”

The 2013-14 season doesn’t start with “Caba-ret,” however.

“God of Carnage,” writ-ten by playwright Yas-mina Reza, will be the first production of the season. The French play, translated by Christopher Hampton and under the direction of professor Jerry McGon-icle, is sure to be a crowd favorite.

In the play, two married couples meet to discuss a fight that occurred between their two sons. Throughout the course of the play, the couples gradually act like children themselves.

“God of Carnage” will be performed in the Gladys G. Davis Theatre Sept. 27-29 and Oct. 1-6.

“Cabaret,” under the di-rection of Blair, will be one of the biggest productions this fall at WVU.

“‘Cabaret’ is based on real events and story of Christopher Isherwood, a British novelist who went to Germany to find new in-

spiration and experience the sexual freedom of 1930s Berlin,” Blair said. “He found the decadence, the partying and the freedom of expression, but it was also the beginning of the end of that life in Berlin and the early rise to power of the Nazi Party in Germany.

“‘Cabaret’ has some of the greatest songs in mu-sical theater and is highly entertaining, but the mes-sage and story within is ex-tremely real. Its story fore-shadows a devastating period of world history.”

“Cabaret” will be per-formed in the Lyell. B Clay Concert theatre Oct. 30 - Nov. 3.

And last but not least, “The Liar,” under the direc-tion of Knipple, will be the last production in the fall semester. “The Liar,” writ-ten by Pierre Corneille and translated by David Ives, is a playful comedy about de-ception and mistaken love.

“The Liar” will be per-formed in the Gladys G. Da-vid Theatre Nov. 21-22 and Dec. 3-8.

While these three plays are the first in the series, “Dance Now!” “The Glass Menagerie” and “Henry IV” will be performed in the spring semester.

Freshman year: a new start for many

Every year Morgantown is bombarded with incoming students who cause traffic and bring excitement.

The first day of move-in weekend always seems to of-fer the perfect weather and the first taste of college life for the year.

For upperclassmen, it’s a familiar feeling that they can’t wait to feel again. For freshmen, it’s a new feeling they have been waiting to ex-perience since high school graduation. But for most freshmen, it’s their first time away from home.

Every time move-in week-end rolls around, I remem-ber the first time I showed up in Morgantown back in 2011.

I remember the excite-ment of being in a new place with so many people, as well as the overwhelming amount of social interaction.

I think most upperclass-men have a similar mem-ory of their first weekend at WVU. I also think many older students have regrets similar to mine.

Throughout the last two years I’ve made better mem-ories than I thought I could and the fun I’ve had as a stu-dent has completely sur-passed my idea of a good college experience.

However, as a freshman I let the fun control my life and make my decisions, just like many others did and many of this year’s fresh-men will.

After my first semester I

found myself on academic probation, fighting to stay in school because I forgot why I was here in the first place.

Two years later I’m still paying for the same mistakes I made, hoping that my GPA will be high enough to land me a career or entrance to graduate school.

I was lucky enough to pull my grades up enough to stay in school, but many of my fellow classmates weren’t. Similarly, many of your fel-low freshmen won’t be here in a year and you’ll probably lose a few by the end of the semester.

It’s so easy to lose track of your priorities in the over-whelming excitement of “the college life” and many of you won’t be as lucky as I was.

But like I said, my mistakes haven’t gone away. Like-wise the mistakes you make will follow you ,whether it’s failed classes, citations from the police or something else equally as bad.

They all stick with you. So I encourage you to have

fun, make memories and en-joy all of the things that WVU and college in general have to offer.

But don’t forget why you’re here. Your goal is to walk across a stage one day, receive your diploma, get your degree and eventually go on to have a career.

You have the advantage over your peers: you’ve been given the chance to get a col-lege degree, a privilege that so many don’t have.

You also have an advan-tage over many of your up-perclassmen in that you have a fresh start that none

of us will ever have again. There’s nothing wrong

with having fun in college; I still have fun as a junior. The key is to remember your pri-orities and why you’re here.

It’s no secret that Morgan-town is a place where stu-

dents like to have fun on the weekends. But, it’s also no secret that WVU has a very high freshman drop-out rate. Keep your priorities straight; you’ll be here for another three years of fun and even-tually meet your goal as a

student: to graduate and find a career.

I think I can speak for ev-ery upperclassman when I say there are a lot of things we wish we could go back and do differently so that we could be in a better position

today. Just remember you have

four years of fun ahead of you, not just one. You have the advantage, so enjoy that fresh start.

Take the time to think before you ink

Humans have been deco-rating their bodies with tat-toos for thousands of years now and the trend remains strong: in 2013 approxi-mately one in five Americans have at least one tattoo.

With a fifth of the nation sporting ink, it’s more im-portant than ever that proper safety precautions are taken before, during and after get-ting a tattoo.

Tattoos are typically done via a handheld machine that pokes tiny holes into the sur-face of the skin and deposits drops of dye into these holes.

As with any open wound, tattoos are often susceptible to infections. Furthermore, certain pigments of dyes like red, yellow, green and blue are the most likely to cause allergic reactions at the tat-too site, which can include

itchy rashes and redness that can linger years after the ini-tial procedure.

As painful as rashes and infections sound, often the more devastating side ef-fects can come from the needle used to give the tat-too, not the body’s reaction to the ink.

As with any needle, each needle needs to be individ-ually sealed. Needles that have been used on other people may contain blood-borne diseases that can be easily transmitted from per-son to person in a tattoo parlor.

While the rate of tattooing has increased, the amount of people who seek to remove their tattoos via laser surgery has gone up as well.

A tattoo is permanent and will grow old with you, so de-

cisions on what design to get and where to get it should be researched extensively.

We’ve all heard of the girl who got the Chinese sym-bol for love tattooed on her before discovering it actu-ally translated to something much different.

With the potential med-ical risks and artistry mis-haps that come along with tattoos, it’s imperative to do your homework. Ask friends, family or people on the street rocking their body ink where they got it done and how they decided on their art. Look up parlors in the area online and check out the reviews.

Always make sure a tattoo artist is practicing safety by familiarizing yourself with the basics of a tattoo proce-dure. Don’t be afraid to speak

up if you feel something isn’t being done correctly.

While tattoos are becom-ing slightly more acceptable in the workplace, it’s also es-sential to consider the career you’re looking to break into. If you’re striving for that cor-ner office in the corporate world, consider the place-ment of your tat and whether it could be easily covered in a conservative office.

Many offices have poli-cies regarding body art, and as many as 76 percent of human resource managers suggest a tattoo would neg-atively impact your chance at landing a job.

For many, getting a tat-too can symbolize a turn-ing point, a memorable mo-ment, turning over a new leaf or a general life motto. Still others just think it would be

cool to have a goldfish deco-rating their back.

Whatever the reason, be sure that your decision to get a tattoo remains just that: yours and yours alone. Don’t fall into peer pressure and get the best friends tattoo all your buddies are psyched about, but don’t be afraid to dip your toes in the wa-ter a little before taking the plunge if you think you’re in-terested in getting body art.

The most important part of getting a tattoo is not re-gretting it later, whether that be for artistic or health rea-sons. Take the time to plan out your image, your tattoo parlor and the safety precau-tions behind the procedure and you’ll be sure to rock your ink for years to come.

BORN TODAY This year you ap-proach life with seriousness and the ability to realize a long-term de-sire. You have both endurance and Lady Luck on your team. An associ-ate whom you are close to might be most unpredictable. You will need to learn to flex because of this person. If you are single, you could be unusu-ally idealistic and/or confused when dating or getting to know someone better. Know that there are several potential suitors heading your way.

ARIES (MARCH 21-APRIL 19) HHHH You could be overly seri-ous as the day begins. You might feel as if there is a lot of tension around a domestic matter that you need to

deal with. Opportunities will break through the moment. The unex-pected will occur with a financial is-sue. Tonight: Follow your instincts.

TAURUS (APRIL 20-MAY 20) HHHHH You might want to think through a decision more carefully. Remain responsive as you juggle dif-ferent forms of communication. A sudden insight might help you gain a better perspective about an individ-ual. Tuck away this information. To-night: Your smile wins the day.

GEMINI (MAY 21-JUNE 20) HHH Know when to take a pass and not jump headfirst into a project. Honor the fact that you have had enough. If you can take a day off, then do so. A friend might surprise you with his or her actions. Tonight: Make your ex-cuses and take some much-needed personal time.

C ANCER (JUNE 21-JULY 22) HHHHH You will find that success comes naturally. If you start to over-think things, you might sabotage yourself. Your instincts are right on, so follow them. Vague news might come in from afar. Know what you want, and you won’t lose your focus. Tonight: Join a friend or two.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG. 22) HHH You’ll want to see results from your recent efforts, and you’re more than willing to put in the necessary hours. A boss could feel pushed by your enthusi-asm. You might sense a coolness be-tween the two of you as a result. Just remember who the boss is. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

VIRGO (AUG. 23-SEPT. 22) HHHH Detach, especially if you’re feeling pressured by a partner. You might not be sure what direction you should

head in. A loved one or dear friend will add a certain element of chaos to your life. Try to understand where this person is coming from. Tonight: Listen to a roommate.

LIBRA (SEPT. 23-OCT. 22) HHHHH Relate to a partner or friend directly. You will see better results, and so will those around you. You seem very busy to others, and a loved one could do the unexpected. You have a long-term desire that could be ful-filled right now. Tonight: Go along with someone’s suggestion.

SCORPIO (OCT. 23-NOV. 21) HHHH Defer to others, as they are unlikely to be responsive at this moment. Take an overview, and you’ll gain a deeper understanding of what is motivating others. Your creativity is likely to soar to an unprecedented level. Tonight: Once again, you are the one doing

the listening.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 22-DEC. 21) HHH You dive into your to-do list nearly immediately, and with some-one’s help, you could get through your list earlier than you might have thought. A loved one could be most unpredictable, but he or she makes you laugh. Your compassion will flow. Tonight: Be naughty and nice.

CAPRICORN (DEC. 22-JAN. 19) HHH You could feel subdued by a choice you need to make. Someone close to you clearly spoils you; however, this person might not be able to give you feedback regarding this matter. You will wonder about your limitations. Tonight: Listen to a friend.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 20-FEB. 18) HHHH You are full of laughter and fun despite the fact that you are deal-

ing with a heavy burden or a diffi-cult situation. Your innate optimism mixes well with your willingness to work. You know that you will find a way out of this problem. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

PISCES (FEB. 19-MARCH 20) HHHH You might be making a situation more confusing than it needs to be. You have some strong words you want to share about a money matter. Know what is necessary to take pres-sure off the situation. Question what is motivating a partner or friend. To-night: Speak your mind.

Sara Bareilles wows Lyell B. Clay Theatre

Fletchers returns to 123 Pleasant Street

Kyle Monroe/THe DAIly ATHenAeUMSara Bareilles performs with cymbals at the Creative Arts Center Friday.

BY SHAWNEE MORANA&E WRITER

Backed by an enthusiastic crowd, Grammy-nominated singer Sara Bareilles rocked the West Virginia University Creative Arts Center Friday night.

The CAC buzzed with ex-citement and anticipation before the concert as fans of all ages anxiously waited for a glimpse of Harper Blynn and Sara Bareilles.

Concertgoers energeti-cally chatted with one an-other about their favorite singer and what songs they hoped she would perform.

Lindsey McClung, a senior family and youth studies stu-dent, said she had been look-ing forward to the concert since it was announced in late June.

“I’m so excited for this concert. Sara is amazing, of course. I remember hearing when she was first coming to Morgantown,” McClung said. “My best friend and I, who’s also a big fan, made sure we knew the day tickets would go on sale so we could or-der them right away. I’ve ac-tually never heard of Harper Blynn before, but I’m excited to hear them.”

Like McClung, many fans wondered what the opening act Harper Blynn would be like. Most audience mem-bers had never heard of the indie-rock group before and were excited to see what they would bring to the concert.

As fans began to fill the Ly-ell B. Clay Theatre, they were immediately intrigued by the setup of the stage.

The atmosphere was com-pletely transformed by the white backdrop that sepa-rated the sets of Harper Blynn and Bareilles. Lanterns and box fixtures hung from the ceiling and gave the stage a unique look.

Lights dimmed and chat-ter came to a halt as mem-bers of Harper Blynn took to stage.

After a generous amount of applause, the band began playing.

As lead vocalist and gui-tarist Pete Harper promised, Harper Blynn introduced their new music to audience members. The group’s music, which has been described as “classic pop reimagined,” hooked audience members from the very beginning of the concert.

After a few songs, the band introduced themselves and told the audience how ex-cited they were to perform.

It was clear from the min-ute they stepped on stage they would put on a fantas-tic show.

Along with their energetic music and upbeat tracks, au-dience members enjoyed the lighting that went along with the show. Throughout the songs, shapes and col-ors were projected upon the white backdrop, adding an-other dimension to their performance.

After thanking the crowd, Harper Blynn exited the stage and the crew immediately started to transform the set for Bareilles.

The white backdrop was taken down and provided audience members a glimpse of where Bareilles was to per-form. A black grand piano was added to center stage and the hanging fixtures were lowered, creating the atmo-sphere of an upscale New York night club.

After every detail was in place, the lights lowered once more and audience mem-bers excitedly cheered for Bareilles.

Her silhouette was barely visible due to the dim light-ing as she sang her hypnotic “Once Upon Another Time,” which was featured in her lat-est EP.

Following an overwhelm-ing amount of applause and cheering, Bareilles kicked it up a notch with “Eden” from her new album “The Blessed Unrest.”

Bareilles addressed the crowd, thanking them and saying how excited she was to be performing on her first stop of the “Brave” tour.

She said that they were trying out a lot of new mu-sic, especially from her new-est album. During her intro-duction, members of Harper Blynn quietly entered the the-ater and sat down to show their support for Bareilles.

After singing “Cassiopeia,” Bareilles sang a few songs from previous albums in-cluding “Many the Miles” and “Love Song.”

It was apparent that “Love Song” was still a crowd favor-ite; this song reached No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 22 different countries in 2007.

As she played the first few chords on the piano, audi-ence members cheered in

delight, rose from their seats and began to dance. Bareilles, after noticing the crowd’s re-action, looked genuinely sur-prised and pleased.

Throughout the evening, Bareilles shared with the crowd her inspiration for several of the songs on “The Blessed Unrest.”

She performed sev-eral songs from the new album including “Her-cules,” “1,000 Times,” “De-cember,” “I Choose You” and “Manhattan”.

Bareilles also sang older crowd favorites such as “Gravity” and “Uncharted.”

Between songs, “I love you’s” and song requests were yelled out by the enthu-siastic crowd.

Not only was Bareilles an extremely talented per-former, she was light-hearted and playful with audience members.

Bareilles even took the time to sing “Happy Birth-day” to a soon to be six-year-old audience member and dedicated “Brave” to her.

After singing “King of Any-thing,” Bareilles addressed the crowd thanking them for a wonderful night and exited the stage.

Moments after thunderous applause, Bareilles made her way back to the stage for an encore. She ended the night with “I Wanna Be Like Me” and “Chasing the Sun.”

Audience members left the theater and to their sur-prise, found Harper Blynn in the lobby signing autographs, talking to fans and even pos-ing for pictures.

Kelsi Lewis, a psychology student at WVU, said this was a concert of a lifetime.

“Sara Bareilles was phe-nomenal. I am so in love with her music and her tal-ent. I honestly didn’t think it was possible for her to be better live than she is on her albums,” Lewis said. “She is amazing and really hilarious. Tonight was honestly surreal and I can’t believe I had the chance to see her.”

After the show, Sara Ba-reilles tweeted about her experience performing in Morgantown.

“Morgantown, thank you. First show of the tour. You were generous, kind, and so loving. I am beyond grateful. And happy birthday Kayla. Xo”

WyTHe WooDs/THe DAIly ATHenAeUMFletcher’s Grove returned to 123 Pleasant Street Friday.

BY HUNTER HOMISTEKA&E WRITER

Music fans flooded 123 Pleasant Street Friday night to catch the jam-band excel-lence from longtime Mor-gantown favorites Fletcher’s Grove.

What they received, how-ever, exceeded even the lofti-est expectations.

For the first time in its six-year history, Fletcher’s Grove performed Pink Floyd’s clas-sic album “Dark Side of the Moon” in its entirety, estab-lishing a heightened standard of brilliance in the process.

“That was definitely some-thing special, and it’s some-thing we’ve practiced a lot,” said Fletcher’s Grove guitarist and vocalist Ryan Krofcheck. “It’s one of those things that we’ve always wanted to do, and it was just super fulfill-ing to finally go out and do it.”

West Virginia Univer-sity music composition graduate student and Sur-geon General’s Warning vo-calist/guitarist Chris Jones joined the group on key-board for the performance, fulfilling a multi-layered dream.

“That’s definitely one to cross off the bucket list,” Jones

said. “As a musician, that’s just something I’ve always wanted to do, and I jumped at the opportunity.”

Jones, the grandson of es-teemed WVU piano pro-fessor James Miltenberger, said the performance was not only important to him, but to his family as well.

“That really meant a lot to him (Miltenberger) when he found out I’d be playing piano live,” Jones said. “I’m not a pi-ano player, and I only had one rehearsal before this, so I just went off what I knew about composition and theory to pull it off. It was really cool for me.”

Playing for an energetic and vocal sold-out crowd, Fletcher’s Grove nailed the legendary Pink Floyd al-bum before moving on to a set of original music that showcased the band’s well-rounded repertoire.

“We’re always growing as musicians, and we’re always trying to introduce those dy-namics that will set us apart,” Krofcheck said. “I think peo-ple heard that tonight – they got the soft stuff, the heavier stuff, and it definitely seemed like they were having a good time with it all.”

Dancing and moving for the set’s duration, the crowd was visibly charged by Fletch-er’s grooves, a point noted and appreciated by Krofcheck.

“There really is no crowd like a 123 crowd for us,” Krof-check said. “We were always told, ‘Oh, once your friends graduate college, your crowds will shrink,’ but now we’re out of college – some of us for three years – and they’re still com-ing. That means so much to us.”

With opening support from Ohio-based jam-band Jones for Revival, the night fulfilled and surpassed expectations for the electric droves in at-tendance, showcasing the continued evolution of one of Morgantown’s hottest acts.

“There is plenty more com-ing from us in the future,” Krofcheck said. “We’re just going to keep working, keep getting better, and with that will come new music and some new sounds from us. I’m really excited for what’s next.”

No. 19 West Virginia earns first victory of season, defeating Syracuse after an own goal in 87th minuteBY MEGHAN CARR

SPORTS WRITER

The No. 19 West Vir-ginia University women’s soccer team opened their 2013 season with a 2-2 tie at Penn State Friday, and went on to beat Syracuse 2-1 Sunday at the Penn State Invitational.

“Playing the second best team in the nation and realizing we could have won was disappoint-ing,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown. “But to turn around and play a tough Syracuse team in less than 42 hours was difficult. And I’m proud that we walked away with a win.”

T h e Mo u nt a i n e e r s would start off the match against No. 2 Penn State

strong and controlled the game through the first half.

In just the fourth min-ute of the game, senior for-ward Frances Silva scored off a corner cross from sophomore forward Kel-sie Maloney.

Silva’s goal against Penn State tied her with Kim Bo-nilla for No. 9 in the Moun-taineer record book for goals scored.

The Mountaineers went into the second half up 1-0, but it didn’t last long.

Maloney gave the Mountaineers a 2-0 lead in the 69th minute after she headed a cross from freshman forward Ash-ley Lawrence, sending the ball past goalkeeper Britt Eckerstrom.

It was just the third ca-

reer goal for the sopho-more, and a goal she said she will remember for some time.

“I was really excited, and it felt great to score against the No. 2 team in the coun-try,” Maloney said.

Up to the 80th minute, the Mountaineers con-trolled the momentum of the game, but in just 72 seconds, the Mountain-eers gave up two goals to Penn State.

Penn State forward Tay-lor Schram netted a goal from 12 yards out, fol-lowed by a direct shot from Maya Hayes.

Penn State outshot the Mountaineers 21-12 and certainly kept senior goal-keeper Sara Keane busy throughout the game.

Although Keane would give up two quick goals late in the game, she fended off an aggressive Penn State offense and netted eight saves for the night.

“Sara was outstanding,” Izzo-Brown said. “That’s the best I’ve seen her play in her whole career here. I know as the captain she only cares about win-ning, but overall she was phenomenal.”

The Mountaineers col-lected their first win of the 2013 season against former Big East Confer-ence opponent Syracuse Sunday.

Just three minutes in, ju-nior forward Kate Schwin-del scored her 16th career goal off a cross kick from Silva.

Silva chased down the ball into the right corner and kicked a low cross to Schwindel, who put the ball in past senior goal-keeper Brittany Anghel.

The Mountaineers again gave up the lead in second half after sophomore Erin Simon sent a low ball past Keane, tying the Moun-taineers 1-1.

An error from the Syr-acuse defense gave the Mountaineers the victory Sunday.

A Syracuse defender de-flected a ball past her goal keeper after Silva sent a cross toward the net.

Although WVU’s second half performances in both games left a lot to be de-sired, the way it started the game was impressive.

“In general, it’s always good thing to score early and put the other team back on their heels,” Silva said. “It takes some pres-sure off of us. In a way, it’s like a boxing match – whoever hits first is going to win.”

Silva also said she was pleased with her team’s overall performance.

“I think we did some things really well,” she said. “We didn’t get the outcome we wanted for one of the games, but we got some decent results.”

The Mountaineers will open their 2013 home season Friday at 5 p.m. at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium against Central Michigan.

Former WVU QB Smith struggles in first NFL start

Former West Virginia star quarterback Geno Smith took the field for his first ca-reer NFL start Saturday.

With a chance to prove to his coaches – and the entire league – that he’s ready to become a starting NFL quar-terback, Smith struggled mightily. Smith had a fairly auspicious start in which he led the Jets to an 86-yard scoring drive, capped off by a 22-yard touchdown strike to Ben Obomanu on the second offensive series. The rookie signal caller be-came visibly rattled after-ward as the notorious de-fensive pressure of the New York Giants started getting to him at MetLife Stadium.

Smith ended up throwing three interceptions in the game and finished his first professional start with a pal-try 45.7 quarterback rating.

Only once during his four years at West Virginia did Smith throw three intercep-tions in a single game. In the 2012 season he only had six total picks in 518 attempts. He also stepped out of the back of the end zone Satur-day for a safety in the fourth quarter while trying to avoid pressure.

In many ways, Smith sim-ply played like a rookie, de-spite expectations he could win the Jets’ starting job out-right. As bad as Smith’s first professional start seemed on the surface, it’s hard to completely dismiss the positives of the rookie’s performance.

First of all, the Giants threw a myriad of disguised defenses at Smith, who had probably never experienced a pass rush of that magni-tude. A fairly rare six-man rush forced Smith to put his second interception up for grabs. Also, defensive end Justin Tuck dropping back into coverage seemingly

threw Smith for a loop when he tossed his third and final pick of the night.

Giants’ cornerback Prince Amukamara told reporters after the game that to him, it looked like Smith was “lock-ing onto his receivers” in-stead of going through his normal progression, which is another sign Smith will become smarter and more experienced as his profes-sional career progresses.

The twist to this story i s despite Smith’s fairly pe-destrian performance in his first NFL start, he may have actually won the regu-lar season starting job by de-fault, after a vicious fourth quarter injury to the incum-bent starter Mark Sanchez.

Sanchez initially entered to a chorus of boos when he replaced Smith in the fourth quarter, but he per-formed solidly, complet-ing six of his seven passes for 72 yards. Sanchez also fumbled a snap, which re-sulted in another shower

of boos, but that was really the only mistake from the four-year starter. However, things took an unexpected turn when Sanchez was absolutely leveled in the fourth quarter by Giants’ defensive lineman Marvin Austin, who is 6-foot-2 and more than 300 pounds. He collided with Sanchez so vi-olently Austin said it even hurt him.

Austin was able to play off his pain, but Sanchez wasn’t so lucky. He was taken for immediate X-rays and was scheduled for an MRI on his shoulder Sunday.

The injury left the Jets’ quarterback situation in ut-ter chaos. If Sanchez is seri-ously injured, there’s almost no doubt that Smith will end up as the starter, despite his rocky debut Saturday night.

It’s obviously not the way that Smith wanted to win the starting job as we inch closer to the season opener but injuries are an inher-ent part of this gladiator

sport. Still, Smith will need to continue to make adjust-ments if he intends to keep the starting job throughout the season, assuming San-chez is indeed injured. The former WVU signal caller is

now clearly playing against a superior caliber of com-petition compared to any-thing he faced at the colle-giate level.

McCartney plans to take larger role in return seasonBY GREG MADIAMULTIMEDIA EDITOR

During the 2011 season sophomore Ivan McCart-ney provided West Virginia with a great third option at wide receiver.

McCartney reeled in 49 catches for 585 yards and three touchdowns. It was a solid sophomore sea-son for the Miramar, Fla., native.

After 2011 and into 2012, McCartney was ex-pected to play a larger role for WVU.

That didn’t happen. The talented wide re-

ceiver caught just nine passes for 112 yards and

before the end of the sea-son in early November, McCartney left the team.

Distracted off the field because of family issues, McCartney had no choice but to leave Morgantown and deal with those issues in south Florida.

“It was very tough to leave my teammates, but now when I look back on it, this was something I had to do,” McCartney said. “My grandfather was very sick, so I went back and helped him and my dad out.”

McCartney missed the game and being with his teammates, so the wide receiver never

ruled out coming back to Morgantown.

While it wasn’t a major factor in McCartney’s de-cision to come back, he spoke with his former high school and WVU team-mates Geno Smith and Stedman Bailey about the possibility of returning for his senior year.

“We (McCartney, Smith, Bailey) talked about that and they (gave their in-put),” he said. “I took heed to it.”

McCartney, a 6-foot-2 senior, stayed in touch with the West Virginia coaching staff. And then the issues at home re-solved up and he was able

to return in time for his se-nior season.

He came back to Mor-gantown in the summer and was able to prepare for the season with his teammates.

“I still had to come in, put in work and gain their trust back,” McCartney said. “But overall those guys welcomed me back with open arms; I felt the love.”

Now on the field for 2013, McCartney’s been involved in one of the more lively position bat-tles throughout camp, while competing for one of the starting outside re-ceiver spots. With a consis-

tent approach each day, he could start at outside re-ceiver for WVU Saturday against William & Mary.

And of course, McCart-ney would be thrilled to start for WVU; the subject of starting doesn’t con-cern the senior as he is just happy to be back play-ing football after facing six months of adversity.

“I’m very confident in myself, but at the same time I’m just trying to help the team,” McCartney said. “I’m just glad that I have the opportunity to be out there to compete.”

McCartney is the vet-eran group and maintains the most game experience

of the wide receivers. With that comes a natural need to lead, and for McCart-ney, he isn’t taking that for granted.

“Some of the younger guys ask me certain ques-tions,” McCartney said. “I just tell them: Keep your cool and to make sure you do your individual part. Make everything about the team.”

Since McCartney’s re-turn, he has made ev-erything about the team. If that attitude is main-tained, many feel that Mc-Cartney will play a huge role in 2013 for WVU.

WVU draws with Villanova, awaits season openerBY KEVIN HOOKER

SPORTS WRITER

The West Virginia Uni-versity men’s soccer team ended its Friday evening match against Villanova in a 0-0 draw.

The tie results in a 1-0-1 preseason record for the Mountaineers. WVU beat Ohio State 1-0 Aug. 18 in its first exhibition match.

Despite being held scoreless, the Mountain-eers outshot the Wildcats 24-3 and held possession throughout the match.

Junior forward Andy Bevin led all players with six shots, including three shots on goal. Bevin also recorded the lone goal in WVU’s victory over the Buckeyes.

Junior goalkeeper Lee Johnston posted his sec-ond shutout in as many games and had two saves in the effort.

Johnston, a transfer from Pittsburgh, started 26 of 28 games last season, recording 133 saves in his two seasons.

WVU’s best chance to

score came in the 54th minute, as three different Mountaineers consectu-tively took shots on goal.

Villanova goalkeeper Michael Barr came up big, saving two of his eight shots on the play.

West Virginia will be en-tering its second season in the Mid-American Con-ference (MAC) since the Big 12 Conference doesn’t sponsor men’s soccer.

WVU will look to end its two-year drought of fail-ing to make the NCAA Tournament, after finish-

ing with a 9-6-2 record last season and placing sec-ond in the conference.

In his first seven sea-sons as coach, LeBlanc led the Mountaineers to four NCAA Tournament berths, and his teams have an impressive 19 wins against top-25 teams.

LeBlanc and company will have to find suc-cess without six of their 11 starters from 2012, in-cluding defender Eric Schoenle. Schoenle led the Mountaineers with six goals in 2012, two of which

were game winners. He was voted to a multitude of All-American teams, as well as to the All-MAC team.

In addition, the Moun-taineers lost two of their goalkeepers from the 2012 season in Pat Eavenson and Yale Tiley. The two al-lowed only 15 goals in 17 games and combined for six shutouts. Johnston, a transfer from Pittsburgh, started 26 of 28 games last season and had 133 saves in his two seasons.

The Mountaineers will open the season Fri-day against non-confer-ence opponent Central Connecticut State. The Blue Devils, members of the Northeast Confer-ence, finished with an 8-8-2 record last season and finished fourth in the conference.

Under LeBlanc, the Mountaineers are 47-15-8 all-time at home. Game time is slated for 7:30 p.m. at Dick Dlesk Stadium.

volleyball

BY jON fEHRENsSPORTS WRITER

The West Virginia Uni-versity volleyball team be-gan their 2013 fall season with the annual Gold-Blue Scrimmage in the WVU Coliseum Saturday.

The entire team looked strong in their first action outside of a practice, and it seemed as if head coach Jill Kramer’s new compet-itive style has resonated well with her team.

“From where past teams were last time at this event and where we are now, as a coach, I feel pretty good about our team,” Kramer said. “We wanted this event to be set up just like a match all the way down to the pace of it.”

Freshman Jordan An-derson led the way for the Blue side in the first set of the scrimmage with seven kills. The Blue side man-

aged to hold off a late rally by the Gold team to come away with a 25-23 win.

Despite the marvelous play by Anderson and se-nior Elizabeth Klein, who would go on to account for 19 kills, the blue side would drop the next three sets of the match.

The gold squad can at-tribute their success on the day from the play of soph-omore Hannah Sackett and freshman setter Haley Roe. Roe would lead the Moutaineers with 46 as-sists. Sackett led the team in total attempts and fin-ished at 19, tying for most kills with Klein. Sackett said she attributes her suc-cess to the energy her team felt when they finally got to see some action that was not practice- related.

“I think everyone was really pumped since we haven’t had any real competition in over two

weeks,” Sackett said. “We have been training really hard, and overall I am very happy with how we did, but it also showed us what we need to work on. We’ve been working on long ral-lies, and everyone looked really solid throughout them.”

Kramer said she felt the scrimmage served its pur-pose in terms of making improvements and reach-ing the competitive nature needed to compete in the Big 12 Conference.

“We tried to match the teams really evenly to make it a very competitive match, and I think we did a great job doing that,” she said. “It allowed for some really good competition and some extended rallies.

“I felt the girls played very hard. We served and passed rather well. There are always some things we need to improve, but for the

most part, I was pleased with our performance.”

Kramer said she was es-pecially pleased with the play of Roe and the over-all tempo the squad played with.

“I thought Haley (Roe) did really well leading the gold side,” Kramer said. “The tempo on offense from the blue side was pretty good, as well. They had a hard time connect-ing at times, but I think everyone needs to man-age their swings a little bit better and get a little more efficient, but I think that is an easy fix.”

WVU will hold a regular week of practice that con-sists of mild training and film review before formally opening their 2013 season Saturday in the Blue/Gold Invitational held in To-ledo, Ohio.
