Students speak out on downtown safety

West Virginia Univer-sity is currently ranked as a top ten party school in the country, but there are nu-merous opportunities at WVU to have a good time other than partying.
Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night during the school year, students can attend WVUp All Night.
Up All Night is a place for students who do not want to feel pressured to drink, or be cooped up in their dorms or apartments. It is a place for students to come together, meet new people, see movies, eat food and participate in hands-on ac-tivities as well as tutoring.
“I have come to Up All Night every year I have been here,” said Kristi Popecki, a senior WVU stu-dent. “The free food and en-tertainment is what keeps me coming here. Every week is differ-ent and I meet new people every time.”
Many students walk through the Mountainlair in order to get to High Street and stop at Up All Night before going out.
Each week is different and grabs stu-dents’ attention with attractions such as a Velcro wall, a mechanical bull, team trivia, speed dating and karaoke night.
After 9 p.m., there are discounts in the Gaming Area for astro bowling, bil-liards or table tennis if a student pro-vides their WVU ID. There is also Ka-raoke Night, Comedy Night and Open Mic Night every Thursday.
Comedians from all over the nation will come to perform their skills and make students laugh.
By 10 p.m., there is free food and at midnight, breakfast is served to those students who are still out.
This year will be a little different as student organizations and sports teams will be sponsoring events. The student organizations will be showcasing op-portunities that they offer to the stu-dent population.
“This past week the Student Gov-ernment Association sponsored Up All Night with an information session,” said Sarah Taylor, lead intern for Up All
Night. “Next week will be the women’s rowing team. They will be doing a cool game with the rowing machine you see in the gym.”
The upcoming weekend is Adven-ture Weekend and there will be virtual hang-gliding Friday night and a 24-foot rock wall Saturday.
This event brings students in each year for it gives them something to do on the weekends. WVUp All night will continue to happen each weekend, ex-cept on football game days during the fall semester.
After a West Virginia University student was fatally stabbed outside a popular Morgantown nightclub, some students are questioning safety on and off campus.
University Police Chief Bob Roberts said students should be more aware of their surroundings during
a rowdy night downtown. “If you’re not out at the
bars past midnight, intox-icated, you’re more likely to remain safe,” Roberts said. “If someone is ar-guing or causing a distur-bance, walk away. There is safety in numbers. Stu-dents should at least stay in pairs. It’s a nice deci-sion to have a designated walker as well. Having a friend who is sober puts you at an advantage.”
Roberts said it’s crucial for students to consider the situations they are in before they do something they might regret.
“If you’re in a situa-tion where people are act-ing out, think before you act. Think about the lives you’re ruining if you de-cide to use a weapon or kick someone,” Roberts said. “Police are always there to help you if feel like you’re in danger. When all

Morgantown candlelight vigil, protest to stand with Ferguson, MO.

@dailyathenaeum
In light of the shooting of Michael Brown in Fer-guson, Mo., two events are being held in Morgan-town to raise awareness for the tragedy and for police brutality.
The first event will be Monday evening from 8-8:30 p.m. on the front steps of the Mountainlair. The WVU Muslim Stu-dent Association will host a candlelight vigil to stand peacefully in solidarity with Ferguson.
The second event this week will be held Tuesday evening around 5 p.m.
It will be a public gath-ering to raise awareness of police brutality.
Stacie Bowman, a Mor-gantown resident, is orga-nizing the event Tuesday. She and her friends have been working to create the event on Facebook, make signs and create T-shirts for the gathering.
“Every day, people face issues with police miscon-
duct and brutality, and dozens of situations like these have made it to the headlines over the past few months,” Bowman said. “With things in Af-ghanistan and Iraq wind-ing down and all of that military equipment being passed on to our law en-forcement, is it going to get worse? It’s highly plausi-ble, and a scary possibil-ity that everyone should at least be aware of.”
Last week, Bowman or-ganized a similar pub-lic gathering in front of the courthouse square to raise awareness of the is-sues of police brutality, specifically in the case in Missouri.

Family raises money for pediatric brain tumor research
by david schlakestaff writer
@dailyathenaeum
For the fourth time in four years, the Johnny Koon Pediatric Brain Tu-mor Research Fundraiser turned out to be a suc-cess. But this time, it was just a little bit better.
Michele Koon and her family host the event to remember their son, Johnny Koon, who died at the age of 14 from a rare brain tumor called an ep-endymoma. Johnny, first diagnosed at the age of 9, fought with a spirit that was in the air Saturday evening.
Games, food and auc-tions all played a role in entertaining the event’s crowd, which was bigger than Michele Koon and her family had ever seen at the fundraiser.
“It was the biggest turnout we’ve ever had,” Michele Koon said. “Ev-ery year, I’m scared that no one will come, yet ev-ery year there are more people. But this year has been special.”
As a tradition of the annual event, each $5 donation is rewarded by the releasing of but-terflies and Chinese

good. They should provide transportation to South Park. I know I would feel safer.”
Although dangerous incidents have occurred throughout the years, Roberts said he is con-fident WVU’s campus is safe. Roberts said a lot of the stabbings and inappro-priate behavior happens downtown, or off the Uni-versity’s grounds.
“Unfortunately, some-times these things happen in just about every com-munity. Avoid obvious
places with large gather-ings of alcohol,” Roberts said. “The campus is safe. Most cases like this hap-pen off of campus. How-ever, the community is safe but the ages of these students put them at risk. Overall, Morgantown is a pretty safe community.”
Lena Huynh, an indus-trial engineering student, said she wasn’t surprised to hear about the stabbing.
“I don’t feel any less safe since the stabbing inci-dent. I’m pretty indifferent toward what occurs around town because we’ve had a few similar incidents throughout the years,” Huynh said. “It makes
me question the type of crowds these bars are at-tracting. A lot of things happen around cam-pus that we aren’t aware of.”
Huynh said students should be more aware of the trouble that could re-sult from engaging with people at the wrong time.
“For one, students need to drink responsibly. That’s a big cause of any issue. They need to know when not to engage with people. Also, they should know when it’s appropri-ate to step in and engage.”
with so many students preoccupied with moving and starting classes, it was important to hit the streets to let people know,” she said.
Bowman has done her research and knows that the issue is especially perti-nent to WVU students and the people of Morgantown.
“You may be surprised to know that West Vir-ginia is number four in the nation for reported po-lice misconduct, and also number four in the nation for not persecuting said police officers,” Bowman said.
Bowman said she wants the gathering to be a peace-ful demonstration, where people from all walks of life can come together for the same cause.
“We need to learn to be careful, and at the same time proactive. Maintain-ing peace in our public demonstrations is imper-ative. The thing we need to learn most is to come together, regardless of whether we’re Republi-can, Democrat, Libertar-ian, Christian, Athiest or Anarchists,” Bowman said.
floating lanterns, made of biodegradable bamboo, on the upper baseball field of Westover Park.
Michele Koon said in 2013 there were only 60 butterflies and 73 lanterns released. This year, there were 80 butterflies and 100 lanterns released, il-lustrating how much this event grows each year in memory of Johnny, and in hope to find a cure.
Qdoba, Papa John’s, Chicos Bakery and Chick-fil-A all donated food for the event.
There was also a spe-cial someone working in the Alex’s Lemonade Stand. Endsley Batton, an 8-year-old who beat can-
cer, worked the booth. Shirts were being sold
at one of the many booths that featured a picture of Johnny Koon and the phrase “Bring It On.”
Michele Koon said the quote’s significance in fighting cancer was obvi-ous, but had a special rel-evance to Johnny’s experi-ence with the illness.
“What Johnny went through as a kid was really tough,” Koon said. “But ev-ery time the doctors told him there was regrowth of the tumor, he would say, ‘Bring it on, let’s get it done, and we thought it was only fit to continue that mentality in what we’re trying to do here.”
All of the money from the shirt sales went to the same fund as all of the donations, and the same
fund will benefit the re-search of pediatric brain tumors.
“It’s so moving and meaningful knowing that we can do something to give back to the commu-nity, the hospital and Dr. Collins,” Koon said. “And when people come out in numbers like they did, and show us this much sup-port, it gives us hope that we can find a cure.”
Dr. John Collins was the pediatric neurosurgeon at the West Virginia Univer-sity Children’s Hospital who was in charge of John-ny’s case.
Collins still keeps in touch with the family sup-ports the event.
“I think we as a family will always remain close with Dr. Collins,” Koon said. “He and Johnny al-
ways had a very strong pa-tient/doctor relationship.”
When asked beforehand how she wanted the event to be, she said she wanted it to be joyous.
“Even though it was a sad time in our lives, noth-ing about this event is sup-posed to be sad. He wasn’t that kind of kid,” she said.
Just as she had hoped, nothing about Saturday evening was sad. It was a night to celebrate Johnny Koon’s life and the grow-ing desire to find a cure for cancer.

Dad of 18-year-old shot by officer
asks for peaceST. LoUIS (aP) — The father
of a black 18-year-old shot to death by a white police officer in Ferguson pleaded Sunday for a “day of silence” as he lays his son to rest Monday.
“Tomorrow all I want is peace,” Michael Brown Sr. told hundreds of people in St. Louis’ largest city park dur-ing brief remarks at a festival that promotes peace over vi-olence. “That’s all I ask.”
The more than two weeks since Michael Brown’s death have been marked by nightly protests, some violent and chaotic, although tensions have eased in recent days.
Brown Sr. told the crowd that he and his son’s mother appreciate the love and sup-port they’ve received from the community. The Rev. Al Sharpton, who will speak at the funeral, echoed his re-quest for peace.
“We don’t want anything tomorrow to happen that might defile the name of Mi-chael Brown,” Sharpton said. “This is not about our rage to-morrow. It’s about the legacy and memory of his son.”
Lesley McSpadden, Mi-chael Brown’s mother, ap-peared on stage with Sharp-ton, who told the crowd that McSpadden and her family saw Brown’s body for the first time today since the day of the shooting.
After McSpadden took the microphone, she broke down and covered her face with her left hand. The crowd began to chant, “We love you. We love you. We love you.” Mc-Spadden composed herself for a moment and softly said, “Thank you. Thank you, ev-erybody. Thank you.”
Peace Fest 2014 was al-ready in the works before Offi-cer Darren Wilson shot Brown Aug. 9 in a St. Louis suburb, but it took on new resonance in the aftermath.
The parents of slain Flor-ida teen Trayvon Martin also spoke, urging the crowd to channel its anger into action
by pushing to strengthen fam-ilies and better educate youth and expressing support for the Brown family and the people of the St. Louis area.
“We’re going to stand tall with you all,” Trayvon’s Mar-tin’s father, Tracy Martin, said.
Trayvon Martin, 17, was also unarmed when he was shot and killed in 2012. George Zimmerman, a neigh-borhood watch volunteer who said he shot Martin in self-defense, was acquitted.
The nightly protests in Ferguson have been mostly peaceful in recent days, a contrast to images of police in riot gear firing tear gas canis-ters at angry protesters in the days after the Brown shoot-ing. Tensions briefly flared then subsided late Saturday night and early Sunday.
Niesha Thomas, who at-tended Peace Fest, said she hopes the event marks “a new start” in which people put “ir-relevant, unproductive” dis-putes behind them.
“This should be a pivotal point where we move for-ward,” Thomas said.
But that might not be so easy. A grand jury has started considering evidence in the case and some local residents and officials have said they’re concerned that a failure to re-turn an indictment against Wilson could stoke new an-ger in the community.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon reiterated his support Sun-day for sticking with St. Louis County prosecutor Bob Mc-Culloch. Brown’s parents and others in the community have expressed concerns that the office would not be impartial because of McCulloch’s ties to law enforcement.
“He was elected over-whelmingly by the people a number of times. He’s been through a lot,” Nixon said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” ‘’Cer-tainly, with this level of at-tention, I think everyone will work hard to do their best work.”

‘Better Call Saul’ prequels award-winning series
Television fanatics could not get enough of AMC’s hit series, “Breaking Bad.”
The chemistr y be-tween characters like Wal-ter White (Bryan Crans-ton) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) combined with the incredible writ-ing told an unforgettable story of action, suspense and emotion.
For many, it was over too soon.
There’s no need to worry. AMC is back with a new spin-off series.
“Better Call Saul” takes place in 2002, six years before Walter White seeks out Saul Goodman (Bob Odenkirk) as his lawyer in “Breaking Bad.”
In the beginning of the series, Saul Goodman goes by his real name, Jimmy McGill.
Jimmy is a struggling lawyer trying to find his way in the world. His character is younger and cleaner.
Mike Erhmantraut (Jon-athan Banks) works with Jimmy throughout the show.
“Better Call Saul” will
chronicle the string of events that lead to the Saul Goodman we all know and love.
“I said I want to have a little more sympathy for this guy,” Odenkirk said in an interview with Screen Rant. “I want to under-
stand maybe how he’s a human being and not just a hungry hippo trying to get all the money.”
Audiences will also gain insight on Mike’s character and his past.
Season one will consist of 10 episodes and season
two, which has already been planned, will have 13 episodes.
The show will be both a prequel and a sequel to the award-winning series, “Breaking Bad.”
While the subject will continue to be somewhat
serious, the series will have more of a comedic pace.
The creators said this will not be “Breaking Bad” all over again, but will still have many similar char-acteristics when it comes to the quality and style of
the camera and the script. Most of the “Breaking Bad” crew is returning for this project.
Fans are hoping to see familiar faces on cam-era throughout the series. According to the show’s creator, Vince Giligan, it seems likely that our fa-vorite good-guy crimi-nals could return every so often.
Many female fans hope for the return of lady-killer Jesse Pinkman. Being a part of “Better Call Saul” would give Paul a chance to portray a younger, less-hardened Jesse which would probably melt our hearts even faster.
“Personally, I’d have a hard time resisting put-ting all these guys in for a cameo or two every now and then,” said Gilligan in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “The sky’s the limit with a pre-quel. Everybody who’s now deceased in the ‘Breaking Bad’ world is obviously still alive. You never know who might turn up and when and where.”
The series is scheduled to premiere in February 2015. Following the sea-son finale, it will be avail-able on Netflix.
Emmy nominees discuss the upcoming awards eventLOS ANGELES (AP) —
Most everyone was still a potential winner as nom-inees stepped out this weekend to celebrate in ad-vance of Monday’s Emmy ceremony.
Festivities began early Saturday afternoon, with the annual BAFTA L.A. TV Tea event, sponsored by the Los Angeles branch of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, which brought out, among dozens of others, nominees from the hit Brit drama “Down-ton Abbey.”
“It’s great fun because you get to see everyone before the big day,” said actress Michelle Dock-ery, who portrays the Ab-bey’s Lady Mary Crawley. “It’s also (“Downton” ac-tress and nominee) Joanne Froggatt’s birthday,” Dock-ery continued, sliding into a joke: “So, it’s great! They’re putting on all these parties for her.”
Froggatt, who actually turned 34 on Thursday, is nominated for playing La-dy’s Maid Anna Bates. “I think there’s four possi-ble parties tonight,” Frog-gatt said. “I don’t think I’ll make all four. I’ll see how my stamina holds out. But, then, tomorrow is quite quiet, just the evening-be-fore party and then the big day.”
A m o ng Satu rd ay ’s other major Emmy-re-
lated bashes: the Televi-sion Academy’s perform-ers nominee reception as well as the “Variety” and Women in Film pre-Emmy celebration.
Like Dockery and Frog-gatt, actress Mayim Bialik is an Emmy veteran. She has three nominations, but no wins, for her portrayal of neurobiologist Amy Farrah Fowler on the sitcom “The Big Bang Theory.”
“I usually have Thai food before I go to the Emmys,” Bialik said. “I usually put on mopey emotional mu-sic, just because it lets me feel something, so I’m not numb with all my anxiety.”
When asked about Emmy-day rituals, nomi-nee Jim Carter, best known as “Downton” butler Mr. Carson, replied playfully, “I always check that my fly is up. I think that is essen-tial. I wash thoroughly. And I stand upright. And that’s about as close as I can get to a routine, I’m afraid.”
Laverne Cox, who lost out in the guest actress in a comedy category to her “Orange is the New Black” co-star Uzo Aduba at last weekend’s Creative Arts Emmys, showed team spirit when discussing Monday’s comedy-series compe-tition. That’s where “Or-ange” could break “Mod-ern Family’”s four-year winning streak.
“I love the gang at `Mod-ern Family,’” Cox said, with a sly smile. “But it’s time for a new show. Of course, I’m biased,” she added.
“Orange” nominee Kate Mulgrew said just getting the role of prison chef Red meant she had the prize.
But that’s not the atti-tude of “Fargo” nominee Billy Bob Thornton, who explained, “You know how people say, `Well, I’ve been nominated. I feel like I’m already a winner’? I look at it a different way. I look at it like, `I’m already a loser,’ and it’s much easier.”

Man dead, shot at popular rap concertMOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP)
— A 38-year-old man died Saturday after he was shot multiple times backstage during a concert at a popu-lar Silicon Valley venue, au-thorities said.
The shooting occurred at Shoreline Amphitheatre, where Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa, Atlanta hip hop artist Jeezy and others had finished performing Friday night. The victim, whose name was not immediately released, died at a hospital.
Police rushed to the out-door venue after receiving multiple calls that shots had been fired. However, no ar-rests have been made, and of-ficers were still looking for a male suspect believed to be in his 20s and armed with a handgun.
Investigators turned to so-cial media to ask concertgo-ers for photos or videos that might provide clues.
Authorities don’t yet know how a gun made it into the amphitheater, where patrons
Wiz Khalifa was scheduled to continue his Under the In-fluence of Music Tour at Sleep Train Amphitheater in Chula Vista, California, on Saturday night, but the show was can-celed “due to an active inves-tigation” of the shooting at
the Shoreline Amphitheatre, concert organizer Live Nation said in a statement.
A post on Wiz Khalifa’s Twitter account blamed the cancellation on “a situation out of our control.”
The rapper also called shooting “a senseless tragedy.”
“Violence is never the an-swer. My prayers go out to the victim’s family,” he tweeted.

Ferguson issues addressed at VMAsSunday night’s MT V
VMAs will mix a serious social message in along with Nicki Minaj’s snakes and Iggy Azalea’s much anticipated appearance.
MTV President Stephen Friedman said in a state-ment Sunday just hours before the show that the network would air a 15-second spot focusing on race in hopes of spur-ring a discussion about the events surrounding the Aug. 9 police shoot-ing death of an 18-year-old Ferguson, Missouri man.
“It’s a call to action to our audience that we have to confront our own bias head-on before we can truly create change,” Friedman said.
The announcement only added to the buildup to what is annually one of music’s most dramatic and unpredictable awards show. Already there have been snake bites and stage slips.
Days before the big show, Iggy Azalea slipped offstage while performing “Fancy” at a MTV benefit concert, later posting the video on Instagram and making fun of herself.
Mo re s e r i ou s l y , a 6-foot-long boa con-strictor bit a background dancer during a rehearsal for Nicki Minaj’s perfor-mance of “Anaconda,” MTV News reported.
MTV said Minaj was onstage, and the female dancer was treated on-site and transported to a hospital.
At another rehearsal, a show worker fell from one of the winding, slop-ing platforms on the stage at the Forum in Ingle-wood, California, which reopened in January af-ter a $100 million make-over. And rap mogul Suge Knight was injured in a shooting early Sunday at a West Hollywood night-club for an unofficial
pre-VMA party hosted by Chris Brown.
T h e b a c k- t o - b a c k drama is making the pop-ular awards show, airing Sunday night, a trending topic on social media even before an award is handed out, though trophies of-ten take a back seat at the VMAs, which are all about the moments.
And the show will likely provide even more mem-orable moments once it kicks off, much like last year’s VMAs, which we will call the Video Miley Awards.
Miley Cyrus is return-ing Sunday, this time as a nominee for video of the year with “Wrecking Ball.” She isn’t set to per-form, but the outrageous singer, who has kept quiet recently, could surprise with another twerking moment that could own the night and steal the spotlight from the slew of A-list pop divas.
Beyonce will perform and receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award. She’s the lead-ing nominee, competing for eight awards, includ-ing video of the year for “Drunk In Love.”
Taylor Swift, who is fully venturing out into the world of pop music, will sing her new song “Shake It Off ” for the first time.
And Ariana Grande, who is releasing her soph-omore album, “My Every-thing,” minutes after the VMAs wrap, will perform twice, including opening the show with Minaj and Jessie J for “Bang Bang.”
“I’m so excited. ... MTV has been so supportive to me and I can’t thank them enough,” said the 21-year-old Grande, who is nom-inated for three moon-men for best pop video, female video and collabo-ration for “Problem” with Azalea.
Azalea, like Eminem,
has seven nominations. The Australian rapper is nominated twice for both best female and pop video thanks to the success of “Problem” and “Fancy.” The latter will compete for video of the year.
Charli XCX, who co-stars on “Fancy,” said she first met Azalea on the set of the “Clueless”-inspired music video after they re-corded the No. 1 hit sep-arately. The 22-year-old English singer, who was also featured on last year’s summer smash “I Love It” with Icona Pop, is nominated for the art-ist to watch award for her breakthrough solo hit, “Boom Clap.”
“I mean it’s cool, that’s for sure,” said Charli XCX, who said she’s got four outfits lined up for Sun-day. “I’m excited to be there because I haven’t done an awards show like on my own, if you know what I mean.”
She’ll battle girl group Fifth Harmony and rising acts who have topped the charts this year, includ-ing boy band 5 Seconds of Summer, rapper School-boy Q and pop singer Sam Smith, who will also per-form Sunday night.
“My dreams are com-ing true this weekend. I’m performing at the VMAs,” Smith said at the MTV benefit concert also fea-turing Azalea.
Smith’s “Stay With Me” is also up for best male video, pitting him against Eminem, John Legend, Ed Sheeran and Pharrell, whose “Happy” is also nominated for video of the year.
S i a’s “C ha n d e l i e r,” which has helped the singer-songwriter achieve a musical breakthrough this year, will battle Phar-rell, Azalea, Beyonce and Cyrus for the night’s top trophy.
Shooting at nightclub, rapper Suge Knight suesLOS ANGELES (AP) — Death
Row Records founder and rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight was injured in an early morn-ing shooting Sunday in a packed nightclub but was ex-pected to survive, a Los Ange-les County sheriff’s sergeant said.
Knight was one of three club patrons struck by gun-fire around 1:30 a.m. at 1OAK on West Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard, said Sgt. C. Tatar, watch commander at the Los Angeles County sheriff’s West Hollywood station.
Two other victims, a man and a woman, were also be-ing treated at local hospitals and were expected to survive.
Authorities are still seek-ing a suspect and declined to release additional infor-mation, citing the ongoing investigation.
The shooting came just
hours before MTV’s Video Music Awards, which are slated for Sunday evening in Inglewood. R&B singer Chris Brown, who was co-hosting a party at the nightclub with Pia Mia, was also inside the club but not hit by the gunfire, Tatar said.
Representatives for Brown and the party did not return a call for comment. Calls to the club rang unanswered.
Laura Coverson, a spokes-woman for Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said she could not confirm reports that Knight was being treated there due to strict medical privacy laws.
Knight has been shot be-fore. In 2005, he was struck in the leg during an MTV awards pre-party in Miami Beach. Knight’s genius for poaching up-and-coming talent helped him land and
make megastars out of Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre and shifted the center of the rap universe to the West Coast the 1990s.
Knight formed a separate artist management company before co-founding Death Row Records in 1991 with Dr. Dre, who had broken with popular Compton rap group N.W.A.

‘Kognito’ proves critical for preventionHave you ever encoun-
tered a friend or classmate whose attitude turned more pessimistic over time? You kept in touch, but, although you wanted to help, you didn’t quite know what to do or say. Now there’s something out there for you.
WELLWVU’s helpWELL has launched “Kognito,” a free, online program in order to help oth-ers help those with sui-cidal thoughts or in psy-chological distress, along with encouraging them to seek help professionally or through a friend.
Cathy Yura, assistant vice president for Student Life at West Virginia Uni-versity said this program is
important in helping stu-dents, faculty and staff rec-ognize stressors in WVU’s approach for suicide pre-vention on and around campus. She also states that the leading cause of death of college students is suicide.
Not only is “Kognito” now being used at WVU, but the 45-minute inter-active training is spread-ing around the nation and has hit 350 campuses thus far.
According to “Kognito’s” website the programs pro-vided free of charge are the only ones listed in the National Registry of Ev-idence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP).
We all know how impor-
tant it is to stay alert and help those who need a hand, especially when it is someone close to us. WVU has made it very clear that keeping students healthy and safe is the number one priority.
Not all of us have the natural ability to know how to speak to or help someone in psycholog-ical distress, and this is the perfect resource to help.

Masculinity heavily scrutinized in today’s society
Be a man. Boys don’t cry. Tough it out.
Masculinity is assaulted daily by phrases like these and, going unnoticed, has led to detrimental effects on young men. Luckily, people are noticing and are talking about it.
But what I don’t see dis-cussed as much is the inter-section of masculinity and be-ing gay. How do the two exist, or not exist, together in one’s identity?
When I order fast food in a drive through or call ahead to make a reservation, I al-ways get the same response: “Thank you, ma’am.”
Having a high voice has always been a quick way for people to assume my sexual-ity. That, paired with a slight twist of my hips while walk-ing, leads me to be on the feminine side of the spectrum of gender expression.
In the dating world, this is one of my greatest downfalls. Gay men just don’t seem to be attracted to other men with feminine qualities.
From my experience, I’ve seen a hierarchy in the gay community with masculine
men positioned at the top. There have been many times where I’ve been turned down for a date because of my fem-inine qualities.
But this isn’t about my dating life, or lack thereof. This is about the way the media portrays the lives of men, particularly gay ones.
Take Kurt from Glee. Kurt is usually portrayed as a fem-inine gay man. You know the ones – the ones who “gay gasp” when Liza Minnelli ap-peared in “Sex in the City 2.” People like Kurt, because of not expressing their gender in ways others do, have been ridiculed for years.
In the 1980s, many gay men tried to combat this rid-icule, and sometimes bodily harm, by becoming hyper-masculine. This has con-tinued to today where gay men try to normalize them-selves for the sake of earning acceptance.
Today, I see two main groups of gay men: feminine and masculine. We’ve split ourselves down the same gender lines that we fought to go against.
And for a group that praises itself for being “open and ac-cepting,” gay men aren’t as open or accepting as they could be.
Luke Runyon recently wrote “In Changing Amer-ica, Gay Masculinity Has ‘Many Different Shades’” for NPR which examined simi-lar issues.
In the article, Runyon spoke to members of Colo-rado Rush, a gay men’s rugby team from Denver.
“Just because somebody listens to Mariah (Carey) doesn’t mean that they’re not going to kick your ass on the field,” said Fabio Castro from Colorado Rush.
I think this sentiment also misses the point.
In this statement, Cas-tro says in simple terms the tendency to favor feminine things is not mutually exclu-sive with tendencies to dom-inate physically. I agree.
But this statement also suggests that what defines masculinity is domination. I don’t agree.
Too many people base their understanding of what it is to be a man by the po-sition a man takes to other people. Men are seen as leaders, protectors and bread-winners.
My understanding and ex-pression of my gender should not be based off or judged by how I interact with another person. Or should it?
Perhaps I’m viewing gen-
der as too much of an ab-stract, social construct. Would the world be better off re-jecting the idea of gender all together?
I’m not so sure about that. It’s human nature to group oneself with others to under-
stand, socialize and create communities.
What I am sure about is how heavily scruti-nized masculinity is in our society.
Society is more conscious of how it portrays women,
but men are sometimes for-gotten in the discussion. Feminists should not only be concerned with wom-en’s issues but issues of all genders.
How to get your full security deposit back before moving in
One of the first things you’ll be paying your land-lord when you finally find a place off campus is the secu-rity deposit.
This hefty amount of money can be double the rent or more, so it is definitely something you want to get back at the end of the year. To help ensure that you get most, if not all of your money back, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Moving InIt starts before you move
in:The day you get your keys
is the day that the place offi-cially becomes yours. What you want to do on this first day is a thorough walk-through with the owner/landlord to make sure that anything that was already damaged is noted and will not become your fault.
The best way to guaran-tee this? Take pictures! It will be a little overwhelming, but you need to be very diligent in your findings and make sure that you do a full sweep of the place before accept-ing the keys along with the responsibility.
One thing that can really help is having multiple peo-ple look with you; whether it’s your family or your room-mates, having multiple pairs of eyes look over everything will help ensure nothing goes
unnoticed.Even if something still
works, but it looks a little worn, make sure to take notes as well as pictures. The house I’m renting, for example, had so much lint in the lint com-partment on the dryer, that it literally looked like the old tenants NEVER cleaned it.
And while the dryer still works, I made a note to the landlord because leaving that much lint in the dryer can cause a lot of dam-age, and if it were to break, I wouldn’t want to take the fall.
Moving OutSpackle holes:Getting creative with your
place and making it yours is one of the many wonderful things about living off cam-pus. It definitely feels more
like a home away from home than the dorms do. But keep in mind that every picture you hang could mean a de-duction from your security deposit.
To make sure this doesn’t get in the way, make sure to Spackle the holes, and ap-ply some fresh paint if nec-essary. If you yourself aren’t that good with a paint brush, pay a visit to the art depart-ment and ask for a helping hand.
Steam clean carpets:Though I’m sure you were
careful, a couple of things may have spilled on the car-pet during the duration of your stay. It will be worth your while to have the carpet steam cleaned, than have the landlord see the carpet and decide how much to fine you.
At least if you hire a place to clean the carpet, you’ll know about how much you’ll be dropping on it.
Clean the stove:The inside of the stove
is probably something that most people would kind of wipe with a Clorox wipe and call it good, but you really want to get in there because there can be a lot of build up.
Same goes with the top of the stove. Depending on what type of stovetop your place has, a lot of rust can ac-tually build up. You can put tin foil on it to prevent this, so if you notice some specks forming or rust that won’t come off, make sure to take extra care.
Extreme clean the place:You want to pretend that
you are going to have to eat
your dinner off of the ground, so you better make it spotless. The best thing to do is regu-larly clean your place, as well as have a few deep cleaning sessions once in a while to save some time at the end of your rent period.
This is essential in the bathroom, because if you let gross stuff build up into the grout in the shower, you are going to have a hard time get-ting it out.
Have a friend who doesn’t live at the house come and inspect your cleaning job when you are done and tell you honestly if it’s good or not.
Don’t leave stuff behind:Right now, there is a big,
old, heavy TV sitting on my porch from the old tenants. Have a yard sale or some-
thing, but don’t just leave your stuff in the house or in the yard. The landlord will have to deal with it, and though you have moved out you could still get fined.
There are tons of free and for sale groups on Facebook where you can post your stuff and someone will gladly take it. Or, advertise your things for sale on Uloop.
Mention things as they break:
A lot of landlords will ad-vise you to tell them if some-thing breaks, rather than fix it yourself or not do anything. Sometimes it can be the fault of the house (like bad plumb-ing) and you won’t get fined. If you try and fix some of the harder things by yourself, you may cause more harm than good.
It’s also a good idea to mention these damages be-fore the end of the renting period, so everything can be taken care of and you won’t have to deal with it last minute.
Stay on the landlord’s good side:
They are people too, and if you get on their good side, chances are you will have more of your security de-posit at the end. Make sure to pay your rent on time, be courteous of their rules, and keep the place up to the best of your ability.
These are just a few things to keep in mind as you em-bark on your off campus ad-ventures. Hope you get your full deposit back!

WV Pop Con brings people together to celebrate love of comic booksby jake jarvisMultiMedia editor @JakeJarviswvu
Hundreds gathered for the annual WV Pop Con event this weekend at the Hazel and J.W. Ruby Com-munity Center.
The convention featured a wide array of vendors dis-playing their comic books, video games, artwork and replicas of anything and everything from popular culture.
Dave Wachter and James Clark were ven-dors at the event. To-gether, they co-created “The Guns of Shadow Val-ley,” a comic book series that started as a web comic but was soon picked up by Dark Horse for hardcover publishing.
Wachter descr ibed the plot of “The Guns of Shadow” as “‘The Mag-nificent Seven’ meets ‘X-Men.’”
“(The convention) def-initely seems like it has got more of a crowd com-ing,” Wachter said. “Last
year was still pretty good, but yesterday, when I got out on the floor, it was hopping.”
Most of the comic book stores in the local area, including those as far south as Elkins, W.Va., dis-played their comics at the convention.
Many pop cultural en-thusiasts displayed larger projects, such as a remake of the time-traveling De-lorean from “Back to the Future.”
Ron and Rick Neumann, a father and son group from Pittsburgh, said they bought the stock 1982 De-lorean model and sent it to Bruce Coulombe in Orlando, Fla. to upgrade it.
The car, now legal to drive on the street, is a nearly exact replica from the movie.
“It’s fantastic - it’s the ultimate 1980s car,” Rick Neumann said. “I’ve had so many people tell me I’ve made their lives for them.”
Kathryn McCrobie, a re-cent graduate of Morgan-
town High School, said her favorite part of the convention was watch-ing her friend “freak out” over the Delorean model.
“There are a lot more people in costume, which is really exciting,” McCro-bie said.
M c C r o b i e c a m e dressed as Velma from “Scooby Doo” with a friend who dressed as Shaggy.
“I just think word gets out and people want to share their designs and their builds,” Jon Hayes, show promoter for WV Pop Con, said. “You can see a lot of these gentle-men come from far to show what they’ve built in their house.”
There were many who appeared at the con-vention with elaborate costumes.
Hayes said he heard a story of one in particular who went to Lowes, not to build a house, but to build a costume.
Though mainly attended
by college-aged adults, people of all ages attended the event.
There were many fami-lies who brought their chil-dren along to see the dis-plays and characters.
“I teared up a few min-utes ago when this short boy, maybe 4 (years old) came in, Hayes said. “He saw spider-man and he pointed and he said, ‘Mommy, Spiderman.’”
Hayes said the boy was so in awe of the man dressed as Spiderman that he was unable to speak.
All he could do was make the signature web-shooting hand Spiderman is best known for.
Hayes said he is al-ready looking for ways he could improve next year’s event.
“I’m selling out of ven-dors so much ahead of time that there’s go-ing to have to be growth there.”

Lamont performs at black bear
Patrons at the down-town location of Black Bear Burritos had the chance to enjoy folk music Friday evening.
Sam Lamont of Morgan-town performed for sev-eral hours at the popular
restaurant. A very diverse group of
patrons were in attendance to listen to his acoustic folk sound.
“He was good. He had a very West Virginian sound that I think a lot of people in Mor-gantown would enjoy,”said Christine Biearman, a junior psychology student. “I think it was a really good fit for the environment he was playing in.”
Biearman said she enjoyed
the soulfulness of the music as well.
“You could really feel what he was singing,” Biearman said. “I think he really con-nected with the audience and played for the crowd that was in attendance. I would def-initely come out to see him again, he just has a really god connection to his music I think.”
Lamont has played in many venues in the Morgan-town area with his band, The Sam Lamont Band.
The band has sev-eral albums avail-able on iTunes, includ-ing “Good Intentions” and “Promenade.”
Both albums combine a rock, folk mix with a slow, smooth feeling that fits well with many locations the band has played in the Morgantown area.
Lamont also has “Sam Lamont (Re-mastered)” available for download. This album focuses more on the folk side of his music, much of which he played Friday. He also performs as an acoustic trio.
Many of Lamont’s albums were available for purchase at his performance at Black Bear.
On his website, Lamont defines his music as a mix of roots, soul, and rock and roll.
Originally from New Jer-sey, the singer-songwriter has been a Morgantown resident for several years.
His most recent release, “Promenade,” was recorded in Morgantown with his band. His wife, Meg Lamont, created the cover art for the album.
“I think it is cool to have an artist like this based in Mor-gantown, who works and creates from right here,” Jus-tin Boyle, a senior engineer-ing student, said.
“I think he did a great job of connecting with the peo-ple here tonight. Most peo-ple came out to enjoy the food, but it is a great bo-nus when you have the chance to listen to some new and interesting music as well.”
Boyle said he could pick up on a lot of the roots and other influences in the music as well.
“I was really interested in all of the different elements you could hear beyond just the folk of the guitar. I think he did a really good job of meshing together genres,” he said.

WEEKEND SPLITDose of
reality awaits WVU
The time for talk is al-most over. After a fall camp marked by optimism and feel good stories, it’s time for WVU to face one of its biggest challenges in years: The Alabama Crimson Tide.
West Virginia head coach Dana Holgorsen and his staff have been praising the depth of their team since the beginning of camp. That depth will be put to the ul-timate test right off the bat.
Redshirt senior quarter-back Clint Trickett has em-phasized how he needs to avoid hits and make smarter decisions when it comes to his health in 2014. With the way the Tide’s defensive line gets after opposing quarterbacks, chances are he’ll have several oppor-tunities to show whether this new philosophy is just preseason talk or an actual change in mentality.
While Trickett is ulti-mately responsible for mak-ing these decisions, West Virginia’s offensive line has to give him time in the pocket.
This is easier said than done against a team like Alabama. Offensive line coach Ron Crook has as-sembled an experienced front five, but experience can only take you so far.
Senior guard Quinton Spain has a tall order at hand Saturday. After being selected to the preseason All-Big 12 First Team, he is being looked to as one of the offense’s leaders and has to set a tone for the season.
Even after their date with Nick Saban and the Tide, West Virginia’s schedule doesn’t get easier by any stretch of the imagination.
With No. 4 Oklahoma and No. 10 Baylor looking like serious national title contenders, the Big 12 slate West Virginia has to tackle in the 2014 season is as un-forgiving as ever.
Holgorsen has done a nice job of bringing in tal-ent-filled recruiting classes in consecutive seasons, but for now, the Mountaineers are still behind the curve in the Big 12.
There is always a chance this team could come to-gether and surprise people, but looking at the depth of the rest of the top contend-ers in the Big 12, it seems unlikely.
Whether the Mountain-eers make a serious push for bowl eligibility this sea-son should have no effect on Dana Holgorsen’s job security, either.
After watching this team in fall camp, I believe there is some serious young tal-ent budding on this roster.
Freshman quarterback William Crest has garnered an immense amount of hype, but it would be a bit outlandish to expect him to make a major impact this year.
Crest is just one of the many young players that could play big roles on this team in the not-so-distant future.
Holgorsen has compiled enough talent in the last two seasons to make the Moun-taineers future look quite bright. But in the present, this team isn’t ready to be a real threat in the Big 12.
The Mountaineers have more depth up and down their roster than they have had in a while, but they are still a year or so away from being able to have any chance of competing with the big dogs in college foot-ball on a consistent basis.

No. 10 WVU falls to Penn State, defeats Missouri in Penn State Invitationalby ryan petroviCh
sports correspondant @dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia wom-en’s soccer team experienced a sorted dose of emotions to start their 2014 season.
The Mountaineers tasted defeat and victory while playing in the Penn State Invitational this weekend. West Virginia lost its season opener to Penn State 3-1 Fri-day, but managed to snag a 3-2 win against Missouri Sunday.
In the loss to Penn State, the Mountaineers surren-dered three first half goals to the No. 11 Nittany Lions.
Penn State outshot West Vir-ginia 9-3.
The Mountaineers lacked offense throughout the game which left them searching for answers.
While the first half was the story of the game, the Moun-taineers did find a spark in the second half.
“This was a team of two halves tonight,” said head coach Nikki Izzo-Brown in a press release.
“We looked completely different in the second half. We finally put it together, but we ran out of time, and you can’t do that against a team like Penn State.”
Sophomore defender
Kadeisha Buchanan scored the Mountaineers’ only goal in the 72nd minute, while Penn State’s Frannie Crouse, Kori Chapic and Emily Ogle all netted goals in the first half.
The Mountaineers began their season 0-1 after falling to Penn State, but they recov-ered Sunday.
Missouri took an early 1-0 lead in the first half and then took on another goal early in the second. An early def-icit felt very familiar for the Mountaineers, but a resur-gent effort in the second half helped lift the Mountaineers past the two-goal-deficit.
Three second half goals
guided Izzo-Brown’s team over the Tigers. With one goal and two assists, junior forward Kelsie Maloney stepped up and provided the team with a much-needed boost.
“Kelsie grinded her way into all three of those goals today, and I think she and Kate (Schwindel) stepped up as leaders,” Izzo-Brown said in a press release.
Schwindel finished with four points against Missouri. She was responsible for the Mountaineers’ first and last game-winning goal.
Unlike Penn State, the Mountaineers out shot the Tigers 18-12.
“Friday night wasn’t the West Virginia soccer we want to play,” Izzo-Brown said. “Everyone had a job to do today, and we accomplished what we wanted to do.”
While it’s still early, the Mountaineers will look to break the recent trend of slow starts. The slow start against Penn State cost them the game, while a superb sec-ond half erased a sluggish start against Missouri.
The Mountaineers will return to Dick Dlesk Soc-cer Stadium Friday for their home opener against Duke at 7:30 p.m.
Georgia Dome to bring different feelby Dillon Durst
sports writer @dailyathenaeum
West Virginia will face preseason-No. 2 Alabama in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome for the annual Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game Saturday.
The Georgia Dome, which has a permanent seating capacity of 71,250, will serve as a bit of a dif-ferent game environment than the Mountaineers are used to.
With West Virginia relo-cating to the Big 12 Con-ference prior to the 2012 season, the Mountaineers haven’t played a game in a dome atmosphere since traveling to Syracuse’s Carrier Dome during the 2011 season.
Then-No. 11 West Vir-ginia lost to an unranked Syracuse team, 49-23.
Dome atmospheres can be hard to prepare for, un-like the outdoor stadiums West Virginia is accus-tomed to playing in. Red-shirt senior quarterback Clint Trickett said he un-derstands how the Geor-gia Dome’s noise level provides a different dy-namic the Mountaineers’ offense must prepare for.
“It’s a lot different. The sound in that dome stays in there,” Trickett said. “There are SEC bands who play their music loud and
proud. There’s so much pageantry with it.”
The location of the Georgia Dome doesn’t exactly benefit the Moun-taineers, either. The drive from Tuscaloosa, Ala. – where Alabama’s cam-pus is located – to Atlanta, is approximately three hours.
The drive from Morgan-town to Atlanta, is a little more than nine hours.
Trickett said he believes the majority of the fans in the Georgia Dome on Aug. 30 will be Alabama fans, but he doesn’t expect to let the crowd of football-crazed SEC fans have a major impact on WVU’s offense.
“We have some things that we do for noise whether it be signals or silent plays,” he said. “We
never let noise dictate what we do.”
For head coach Dana Holgorsen’s offense to op-erate successfully, there must be strong commu-nication between he and Trickett, as well as the rest of the offense. This figures to be a bit of a challenge the Mountaineers must face in a dome that will more than likely be filled to capacity.
However, one of the benefits West Virginia has is an experienced quar-terback with Trickett leading the team with a good amount of big-game experience.
The offense won’t be the only unit tested by the Georgia Dome’s noise level.
The defense will also need to be able to commu-
nicate with first-year de-fensive coordinator Tony Gibson from the sideline. Alabama runs more of a pro-style offense that typ-ically huddles before each play, which will be benefi-cial for the Mountaineers’ defense.
However, Alabama’s first-year offensive coor-dinator Lane Kiffin may throw in some no-huddle sequences to keep West Virginia’s defense on their toes.
Alabama’s team will be ready and knows what to expect having faced Vir-ginia Tech in the same set-ting a year ago in its sea-son opener.
The Mountaineers will need to adjust quickly to the dome’s noise level and communicate efficiently with the coaching staff to compete with a very tal-ented Alabama team.

WVU competes in annual Gold-Blue Scrimmage
Nick Morales/the daily atheNaeuMSophomore Jordan Anderson spikes the ball during Saturday’s Gold-Blue Scrimmage at the Coliseum.
By nicole cUrtinsports writer
@dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia Uni-versity volleyball team opened its season with the annual Gold-Blue Scrim-mage Saturday.
Fans, family members and students were in at-tendance as the team was split into two groups for a total of four sets. Teams Gold and Blue split the match, each winning two sets.
Head coach Jill Kramer said the scr immage showed her where some of the weaknesses are head-ing into 2014.
“I think serving was an issue across the board. There were a lot of balls we just didn’t put in play,” Kramer said. “Once we got some rallies going, I thought I saw a lot of good things.”
Throughout the scrim-mage, some players were moved to different posi-tions. Kramer said this helped showcase each player’s skills.
“I thought we saw some more production than we’ve seen in practice from the middles,” she said. “We put people in some different spots.
“We had Nikki (Attea) on the left and (on) the
right, we had all three of the DS’s play libero at some point and they’re all different, they all do differ-ent things.”
Having the Gold-Blue Scrimmage is a chance for Kramer to show her team, especially the new mem-bers, how a regular game day goes. Freshman Mel-vina Brown, a defensive specialist from Warren-ton, Va., said she had some nerves before the scrim-mage began.
“I thought it was nerve wracking,” she said. “We played well, but I feel like in practice it’s more in-tense because it’s just us, but I’m sure it will get bet-
ter from there.” With players rotating
between positions and teams throughout the scrimmage, a possible starting lineup could have been seen, but it never came about, Kramer said. She said there is a lot of competition between the girls in seeing who will start Friday.
“Even when we try to put starters and non-start-ers on one side of the net or the other, we’ve still got a lot of competition,” she said. “There’s not that much that differs, and I think that’s what we got to see today.”
Both the Gold and Blue
teams played well in re-turning the ball to the other side, and as Kramer said, this makes it harder for the opposing team to score.
“It’s harder to kill the ball when you’re playing great defense on the other side of the net,” she said. “That is something that’s taken a tremendous step-up for us since last season. You can see a lot of frustra-tion because so many balls come back and it’s a good thing to have in our gym, I think defensively we played really well today.”
After playing in a game-like setting, Brown said she felt good working with
her teammates on the court.
“Our team has such a good collaboration with each other’s personalities that it feels like we’ve been on this team for so long,” she said. “It was like com-ing into one big sisterhood and it’s so cool how we co-operate with each other.”
With their scrimmage out of the way, the Moun-taineers are looking ahead to their next game Aug. 29 in the Coliseum at 7.pm. WVU will take on Brigham Young University in the Gold & Blue Player’s Challenge.
WVU defeats Flyers in final preseason gameBy keVin hooker
sports writer @dailyathenaeum
The West Virginia men’s soccer team played its final tune-up game this week-end, defeating Dayton 2-1 in an exhibition match.
Junior defenseman Hay-don Bennett scored his first goal of the season in the sixth minute of play, riffling a shot after being assisted by junior forward Ryan Cain.
Bennett only had four shots and one shot on goal in his first two years on the team before scoring his first goal for WVU this weekend.
The Mountaineers out-shot Dayton 15-12, with 10 of those shots coming in the first half. Cain and freshman midfielder Joey
Piatczyc registered three shots, while senior forward Andy Bevin and junior for-ward Jamie Merriam each recorded two shots.
WVU also had an 8-5 ad-vantage on shots on goal, with Cain and Piatczyc each taking two.
Th e Mou nt a i n e e r s scored again in the 73rd minute off the foot of Piatc-zyc with the assist coming from Bevin. Piatczyc also scored in the team’s first exhibition game against Ohio State.
Both goalies had busy days, with WVU goalkeep-ers Lee Johnston and Brent Arnold recording a com-bined four saves, while Flyers junior goalie Chris Froschauer saved six shots.
Arnold, a sophomore, only started two games in 2013 but made his im-
pact known while in the net. He allowed 1.5 goals a game during his fresh-man season and saved six shots against conference powerhouse Akron. De-spite starting 17 games in 2013, Johnston played just 39 minutes Saturday, while Arnold played the remain-der of the game.
WVU’s attempt for a shutout came up 53 sec-onds short, as Dayton got on the board in the 89th minute with a goal from James Haupt.
All but one Mountain-eer saw action in the game, with sophomore defense-men Jack Elliot playing all 90 minutes. Bennett played 83 minutes, while Piatc-zyc played 76 minutes and Bevin and Merriam each played 75 minutes. Each team had six corner kick opportunities, and the lone booking given out was a yellow card to Bevin in the 55th minute.
The Mountaineers fin-ished 1-1 in the preseason, and will play their first reg-ular season game Aug. 29
at 5:30 against St. John’s at Dick Dlesk Stadium. The game will be followed by the women’s game against Duke at 7:30.
St. John’s, a member of the Big East Conference, finished with an 11-7-2 re-cord last season and failed
to make the NCAA Tour-nament after qualifying in 2011 and 2012.
“Our home schedule is as diverse as it’s ever been. We have challenged ourselves once again with a schedule that will test our team ev-ery time out,” coach Marlon
LeBlanc told WVUSports.com. “We are looking for-ward to welcoming our op-ponents to Dick Dlesk Soc-cer Stadium, a place where we have created a great home field advantage.”

Fiers wins fourth straight, Brewers beat PiratesMILWAUKEE (AP) — Mike
Fiers held Pittsburgh to two hits in seven innings for his fourth straight win since coming up from Triple-A, and the Milwaukee Brewers avoided a three-game sweep at home by beating the Pi-rates 4-3 on Sunday.
Fiers (4-1) fanned seven. He allowed Starling Marte’s two-run shot in the second before retiring 16 of the next 17 batters.
Closer Francisco Rodri-guez gave up a homer to An-drew McCutchen with one in the ninth. Rodriguez put the tying run aboard with two outs with a walk before
striking out Pedro Alvarez for his 39th save.
Milwaukee knocked around Vance Worley (5-4) for four runs over the first two innings, with each hit com-ing with two outs. Pittsburgh had its three-game winning streak snapped and dropped to five back in the NL Central.
Jonathan Lucroy hit his National League-leading 43rd double for the Brewers, who snapped a three-game losing streak to increase their lead in the Central to 1 1/2 games over second-place St. Louis.
Lucroy singled home a run in the second after Car-
los Gomez reached on a two-out double to left-center that glanced off McCutchen’s glove. Aramis Ramirez fol-lowed two batters later with his second single of the day to drive home Lucroy for a 4-2 lead.
The Pirates had tied it at 2 in the top of the second af-ter Marte homered on to the concourse above left-center. But Fiers allowed just Russell Martin’s single in the fourth from there, getting out of that inning with a pretty over-the-shoulder catch with two outs by shortstop Elian Herrera in shallow center to save a po-tential hit.
Fiers’ fastball tops only at about 90 mph. But he has succeeded since stepping into the rotation for the in-jured Matt Garza by mixing pitches and keeping the ball down in the zone.
Fiers cooled off a Pirates offense that had at least 11 hits in its two previous games.
Worley settled down af-ter the first two innings, re-tiring 13 of 15 until leaving with one out in the seventh after allowing back-to-back singles. The right-hander al-lowed a season-high 12 hits, eight coming in the rough first two innings.

Kevin Love traded to Cavs, joins LeBron
ap photoFormer Timberwolves star Kevin Love is now a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
CLEVELAND (AP) – Plym-pic champions together, Kevin Love and LeBron James spent the last 30 days waiting to become teammates again.
Cleveland has craved a championship for 50 years.
One drought over. One to go.
On the first day they were able to complete the long-discussed block-buster trade, the Minne-sota Timberwolves sent Love to the Cavaliers, who capped a spectacu-lar summer on Saturday by acquiring the All-Star power forward as another running mate for James to make them instant title contenders.
James didn’t waste any time in making Love feel at home.
“Welcome to the Land (at)kevinlove!” the four-time league MVP posted on his Twitter account.
Yes, Cleveland, a city without a major sports championship since 1964, has another new superstar.
The Timberwolves re-ceive a bountiful return for parting with Love, the disgruntled face of their franchise. They acquired
No. 1 overall draft choice Andrew Wiggins and for-mer top pick Anthony Ben-net from the Cavs and vet-eran forward Thaddeus Young from the Philadel-phia 76ers in the three-team deal.
“When it boils down to it, Kevin over his six years, he kept on saying ‘I want to win. I want to win,’” Tim-berwolves President Flip Saunders said. “Unfor-tunately over these last years, both him and the team haven’t been able to do that. He felt it was best for him to go elsewhere.
“I was happy we were able to work with him and (agent) Jeff Schwartz and put him in a situation that he’s going to have the abil-ity to do that and we’re go-ing to have the ability for us to have an identity of where our team is at and continue to grow.”
The Sixers received a 2015 first-round draft choice from Cleveland – ironically, one of the ones the Cavs got from Miami for James in 2010 - and guard Alexey Shved and forward Luc Mbah a Moute from the Timberwolves, who also receive a trade
exception worth about $6.3 million.
The Cavs and Timber-wolves had discussed a trade involving Love for months, long before James decided to end his magnif-icent run with the Heat and come back home to Ohio. The deal dragged through the summer, first because of Cleveland’s unwilling-ness to include Wiggins, and then due to a rarely used league rule that pro-hibited it from being com-pleted until 30 days after Wiggins signed his rookie contract.
That bit of fine print in the collective bargaining agreement triggered an ag-onizing wait in both cities, more so in championship-starved Cleveland where generations of fans have longed for the Cavs, Indi-ans or Browns to win it all.
But once the teams completed a conference call with the league on Saturday, there was noth-ing to prevent the plan-et’s best player from align-ing with the league’s best power forward. Add in All-Star point guard Ky-rie Irving and James is the ringleader of a trio as po-
tentially devastating as the one with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh he broke up last month.
“Kevin joining the Cava-liers represents a very spe-cial and unique opportu-nity for our team,” Cavs general manager David Griffin said. “At only 25, Kevin has already firmly established himself as one the NBA’s elite players and his talent, versatility and fit are major parts of our team’s vision for success.”
Love’s arrival caps a stunning two-month turn-around for the Cavs, who won just 33 games last sea-son and haven’t been to the playoffs since James left in 2010.
Cleveland locked up Ir-ving, last year’s All-Star Game MVP, to a maximum contract extension on the first day of free agency and then James rocked the league by announc-ing his return to bring a title to Northeast Ohio. Beyond that, Cleveland signed free agents Shawn Marion, Mike Miller and James Jones, veteran play-ers with NBA titles on their resumes.
Love is the biggest piece.
He’s coming off of his best season, averaging career highs in points (26.1) and assists (4.4) while grabbing 12.5 rebounds per game and shooting 37.6 percent on 3-pointers.
“Welcome to Cleveland Wes,” Irving tweeted at Love, alluding to a Sprite ad campaign the two play-ers starred in where Love played a character called “Uncle Wes.”
Despite his play, the Wolves finished 40-42, well out of the playoff chase in the demanding Western Conference, and he made it clear to the organization that he would opt out of his contract next summer and look for a contender.
“I want to personally thank Kevin Love for his six seasons with the Wolves,” Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor. “On the floor, Kevin has worked hard to make himself a great player in the NBA. He also made it a priority to give back to the community ... we wish him nothing but the best in Cleveland.”
The Cavs were initially reluctant to deal Wiggins, the super-athletic small forward who spent one
year at Kansas. The Tim-berwolves entertained of-fers from several other teams for Love, who can opt out of his contract next summer. But they stayed patient, and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert and Taylor agreed last month in Las Vegas that Wiggins had to be included.
Adding Wiggins, Ben-nett and Young, an un-derrated seven-year vet-eran who will start in Love’s spot, along with first-round draft pick Zach LaVine transforms the Wolves into a far more dy-namic team around pass-happy point guard Ricky Rubio.
“We’ve all of a sudden become athletic, exciting and fast instead of being maybe a little bit slower and more plodding,” Saun-ders said.
For Cleveland, Love could cure years of frustration.
The city’s pained wait to celebrate a title may be nearing an end.
James and Love are to-gether again, and the hope of ending so much sports heartbreak rests on their shoulders.
