Dean publishes 27th book on global sports Cassandra Keller Managing Editor cmk2356@lockhaven.edu John Nauright, dean of the Stephen Poorman College of Business, Information Systems and Human Services at LHU, published his 27th book, “Routledge Handbook of Global Sport”, on Jan. 20 of this year. The book was published with Sarah Zipp, a professor at Stirling University in Scotland. Nauright met Zipp through planning a study tour in Europe. From there, Nauright worked with Zipp, mentoring her and collaborating on four other books and journals, making “Routledge Handbook of Global Sport” their fifth collaboration. Nauright said, “It’s one of those things that’s really exciting when the student begins to outpace the teacher.” “It [“Routledge Handbook of Global Sport”],” according to Nauright, “is a sport by sport approach covering what has been written about it[ a sport] and what the sport is about to give the reader an overview of a particular sport.” The book covers a variety of global sports including, but not limited to: soccer, American football, Australian football and even darts. “It’s [Routledge Handbook of Global Sport] a book for students who have an interest in a sport who may want to do more research on it, but don’t know much about it,” said Nauright. Through this book and his other books, Nauright said, “I think they[students] will get an understanding of the similarities and differences between different sports and the way sports may resonate in different societies.” As a kid, Nauright had atlases that he enjoyed reading about the different places around the world. He would also read about the different sports in those places he would read about. As Nauright furthered his education, he studied around the world in places like England and Canada. Today he is a visiting professor at Lomonosov Moscow State University in Russia, University of the West Indies in Barbados and the University of Ghana. That interest he had as a child and travel as a student and professor led him to the study of global sports and the 27 published books he has today. Nauright doesn’t plan to stop there, however. Along with Dain TePoel and James Mattern, both of which are sport studies professors here at LHU, Nauright plans to collaborate on a book focusing on the global expansion and organization of baseball. Nauright said, “It’s[the book on baseball] kind of like academics meets Wikipedia with a little bit more depth.” Students who are interested in the topic are welcome to get involved.

Saint Valentine wasn’t just one person In fact, he might have been two or three. But the most common “founder” of Valentine’s Day was the Saint Valentine who defied Emperor Claudius II. At the time, Claudius had banned marriage because he thought it distracted young soldiers. Valentine felt a bit differently — he illegally married couples until he was caught. After he was sentenced to his death, young couples would visit his cell and give him flowers and cards. And the day he actually died? February 14. Allegedly.

The J-Lo and Shakira show
Kiara Carson Managing Editor knc9459@lockhaven.edu Superbowl LIV was featured this past Sunday, February 2, and had Shakira and Jennifer Lopez grace the stage for the halftime show. The women did an excellent job and really brought the house down with their amazing singing and dancing, beautiful outfits, and great representation of Latin pride. The two performed their respective old hits to playing music made by other artists. The dancing incorporated a lot of Latin styles like merengue and salsa while Shakira showed us some traditional Colombian moves. They even invited Colombian rapper J Balvin and Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny to perform with the ladies. In all, the acts exhibited a fabulous display of Latin love and excellence. Additionally, they used their platform to start a discussion of some of the issues in today’s society that America and the current president overlook on a daily basis. For example, Lopez decided to walk out wearing the reversible flag which featured both American and Puerto Rican flags, it was a statement that seemingly said, ‘Puerto Rico is still a part of the United States and to not forget about it.’ As many know, Puerto Rico was recently hit with a series of earthquakes. The island also issued a tsunami warning that has the potential to devastate the land and people, yet there hasn’t been action taken by the United States to help. Puerto Rico has been a U.S. territory for over a century now,
but it seems to never receive help from the country that acquired it all those years ago. Inhabitants keep losing their homes and land over natural disasters, but the biggest disaster is that they’re also being ignored. The halftime show also included a scene where children dancers were sitting on the stage in little cages to represent the current issues of immigration. It’s to remind people that this is what’s happening to children who get taken away from their parents who are deported out of the country for being “illegal.” The scene’s goal was to shock people back to reality and hopefully stand up in order to help those who really need it. Unfortunately, there were a lot of people on social media who responded negatively to the show, making oversexualized remarks about what the ladies were wearing and racially fueled comments about the Puerto Rican flag and Spanish music. Others had decided to respond back to those people and educate them about all the ignorant things they were saying. This shows how much of a powerful impact the Super Bowl Halftime Show has amongst others who can appreciate different cultures. All in all, the show was executed beautifully and showcased that some things are more important than football.

“Empire” is a must-watch Tiana Gair A&E Editor teg5895@lockhaven.edu
“This is how I win.”
Did you know? Oscar winners used to be announced before the ceremony to newspapers. Info courtesy of Bestlifeonline.com
“Empire” is an enticing television drama that touches on the topics of violence, hiphop, sacrifice, love and family. The show debuted in 2015 on FOX and has been on air ever since. The show starts with one of the main characters and mother of the family, Cookie Lyon, getting out of jail after seventeen years. She comes home to her three sons now fully grown, her ex-husband moved in and moved on with another woman, and the music empire she built with her exhusband wildly successful. Being locked away for nearly two decades with very little visits from her family had Cookie enraged. She continues with this rage throughout the rest of the show. Lucious Lyon, Cookie’s ex-husband, is a tyrant over Empire Enterprises. He’s ruthless and willing to do absolutely anything to push his own agenda. At times, he’s kind and generous, but he’s typically not seen that way by anyone, even his family. Lucious never loses, no matter what. The other members of the Lyon family are Cookie and Lucious’ sons: Andre, Jamal,
and Hakeem. Each family member has their own plotline that is followed throughout the seasons, along with a few other supporting roles. I feel as though that the multiple stories are what makes this show so interesting. There’s so much to follow, to remember, to keep an eye out for. On top of that, each episode is jam-packed with action, whether that be violence, passion, a mental illness crisis, robbing, a theatrical show, hospital visits, and more. Original music sung by the cast is added to almost every episode. These songs are available on Apple Music and Spotify. Usually these songs coincide perfectly with events occurring in the show. I love this show for its raw energy and how it captivates you, both in good and bad ways. The characters are casted very well; their acting is moving. The show has so much thought put into it. “Empire” is a must-watch for people who love music and suspense. You can watch it on FOX, Hulu, or YouTube TV.

Bentley dessert hacks
Cassandra Keller Managing Editor cmk2356@lockhaven.edu If you’ve ever been to upper Bentley, you know that the food isn’t always the best that it can be, but there are a few things you can try to make your desserts just a little bit better. Here’s a list of Bentley dessert hacks: 1) Ice cream floats- It might not seem like it, but you can get ice cream floats if you order your ice cream the right way. Just take a cup up to the ice cream counter, order one scoop of vanilla ice cream or any kind of ice cream you want and then fill it will any kind of soda you want from the soda fountain. 2) Apple pie sundae- Upper Bentley has a microwave that students can use. You can warm up an apple pie when they have them available and then get a scoop of ice cream on the side. 3) Toasted PB&J- There is a toaster near the waffle maker. There you can get bread and make toast however you want. Then you put peanut butter and jelly on it to make a healthy dessert.
4) Ice cream cookies- When there are cookies, you can make them even better when you warm them up and put a scoop of your favorite ice between two of them. You can even top this ice cream treat with sprinkles and chocolate syrup.

Aries Mar. 21- Apr. 19 When was the last time you used a pen and paper, Aries? In this age of computers, the keyboard has all but replaced these wonderful tools. In the same way that walking provides much more than fresh air, the kinesthetic value of the rhythmic motion of writing with a pen is far more soothing and even healing than most realize. Moving your hand across the page can feel good and unlock places within you that aren’t accessed by typing. Try it today.
Libra Sept. 23- Oct. 22 Put your ambition into action today, Libra. The day’s planetary aspects should find you feeling energetic and positive. Make the most of this by taking steps toward your goals. As you know, if you don’t actively pursue things, nothing will happen. The years can pass by so quickly and you wouldn’t want to be sitting on a rocker wondering “what if.” Trust yourself and do what it takes. Everything starts with a single step.
Taurus Apr. 20- May 20 Today may bring a keen sense of empathy and understanding, Taurus. With this, verbal communication is also more likely to be effective. Consider seizing this energy by making a point of talking through any problems or issues you have with those in your life. If they don’t live with you, see about driving over to visit them or calling them up to work things out. If there isn’t anything pressing, see about expressing your affection for those closest to you by telling them straight out what they mean to you.
Scorpio Oct. 23- Nov. 21 Today you may want to go your own way regardless of what someone else wants, Scorpio. Your independence is very important to you. However, compromise might be necessary in order to avoid serious conflict. Consider splitting your day to allow for the wishes of those close to you and time for yourself. If you can’t make others understand why you want to be alone, this might be the best solution.
Gemini May 21- Jun. 20 Don’t be surprised if you find your mind going a thousand miles a minute today, Gemini. Slowing down will likely elude you and you’ll have to find one means or another to express what’s racing around in your head. The aspects today lend much to communication. Perhaps talking over your writing or ideas with someone whose insight you value will do the trick. Even doodling can give you a place to put your thoughts. Explore these activities today. Cancer Jun. 21- Jul. 22 Welcome to another great day, Cancer. The energy from the day’s aspects is positive and encouraging when it comes to communication and interaction with others. Why not take advantage of this? Get together to visit with friends and family and enjoy yourself. Consider inviting people over for a game or dinner. Even a potluck can be a lot of fun. You work hard all the time, so play hard today! Leo Jul. 23- Aug. 22 See about using your good relationships with friends and loved ones today to get some group activities going, Leo. Chances are you’ll feel pretty good and the idea of socializing will appeal to you. See about inviting people over for supper or a game of cards. If you’re especially lively, some sports may be just the ticket to get you out and moving. Do whatever it takes to have some fun and get some fresh air today. Virgo Aug. 23- Sept. 22 Consider channeling your philosophical inspirations into some creative writing, Virgo. You’ll certainly enjoy this type of activity. Even if you haven’t explored this before, there’s no better day than today to give it a whirl. Why not start a journal if you haven’t done so already? This will give your ideas a place to incubate, and it can become a starting point for further reflection. Or you could try your hand at poetry and fiction instead. Horoscopes provided by: www.horoscope.com
Sagittarius Nov. 22- Dec. 21 Today may well find you in the mood to head out on a venture or visit someone, Sagittarius. When was the last time you took a day for something like this? Chances are it’s been too long. Not only will you enjoy it but others will be thrilled to have some time with you as well. Whether you pack up the whole family or head out on your own, seize the opportunity to visit a new place or connect with people you haven’t seen in a while. Capricorn Dec. 22- Jan. 19 Serious thinking and communication will be enhanced today, Capricorn. These are strong qualities for you anyway, and with this added boost, you’ll need to have a place to express yourself. If you’ve started a journal, this can prove to be an excellent outlet. Talking with other people is another. If there are issues or worries that have been bothering you, consider getting together with those involved and airing what’s on your mind. It’s a perfect day to get things resolved. Aquarius Jan. 20- Feb. 18 You might feel cornered into doing something you just don’t want to do today, Aquarius. Perhaps you made a promise to handle a project, or someone close to you has decided that it’s the day to tackle something specific. Either way, if you’re uncomfortable following through, communicate that to this person. Your ability to express yourself and be understood is enhanced with this day’s energy. Rescheduling might be far better than any potential resentment. Pisces Feb. 19- Mar. 20 You might discover that someone close to you, a family member perhaps, could use a hand today, Pisces. Chances are good, too, that he or she won’t ask for help out of pride. Don’t let that stop you, though. If you recognize a situation where you can be of assistance, go for it. Don’t wait for an invitation or request. Simply take hold of the circumstances and do what you can. Your efforts will be appreciated and you’ll leave feeling terrific that you could make a difference.

Tips to start off the semester
Tess English Online Manager tae7002@lockhaven.edu
A good way to achieve a stress-free semester (or at least minimize the stress) is starting the school semester strong. Here are a few simple ways to improve your success: Step one get yourself a planner. With so many classes, a social life, and possibly work to juggle it’s easy to neglect a deadline. Getting a planner and writing out all of your important deadlines, work schedule, and any social obligations will be useful to time management. Step two: eat breakfast. Breakfast may not be the most important meal of the day depending on one’s values, but eating breakfast has been linked to improving memory. Memory is known as the thing that helps a student remember what they studied when taking an exam. Perhaps a desirable ability to the average student. Step three: relax. It is easy to get overwhelmed when trying to get back into the swing of school. Students may feel rusty with their learning skills, and feel overwhelmed looking through all the course work in the syllabus. Remember to take a step back and take assignments one at time. There is no need to burn yourself out when classes have only just started. Step four: set a routine. It might seem mundane to get into routine, like some college verison of working 9-5, but having one makes choices easy. Is there time to go hang out? When should I go to bed? Establishing a set daily sequence takes the guesswork out. You’ll know how to fit in your 8 hours of sleep and know when it is time to buckle down and get work done. If you stick to the routine at least.

9 Best things about the spring semester
Tess English Online Manager tae7002@lockhaven.edu
1. New school supplies- there is nothing better than having the illusion of getting your life together.
technically winter, the weather only gets better from here. Soon the temperature will pick up and start shorts season.
2. Back to the #DormLifewhile living in the dorms may not always be the most glamourous, it does provide most freedom. Your choices are safe from family judgement.
5. Reuniting with college friends- Going home from the break is always nice and a good opportunity to reconnect with the past. However, it does make you miss your school friends. Who else would get your current stress level about assignments?
3. Getting closer to completing your degree- College is an experience and a time of significant growth, but we all came here for a reason right? Getting out and being in the workforce. 4. The weather- even if it’s
6. New year- It’s nice to start a new semester with a fresh start into 2020. It is a nice opportunity to start classes with a period of personal growth.
7. Daylight Savings- In a few short weeks we can set back our clocks and enjoy a little more sunlight. 8. Spring Break- we all look forward to taking a little vacation time from school. 216 hours of pure uninterrupted bliss. 9. Summer Break- Once the semester is over we can take a mental break over some summer fun. It’s the longer, more exciting version of spring break.

Letter to the editor
Cassandra Keller Managing Editor cmk2356@lockhaven.edu Re “How #MeToo Is Smashing the Casting Couch (The New York Times, Jan 30) I agree with you that the #MeToo movement has brought a lot of awareness to the problems in Hollywood and the entertainment industry, but your article leaves out a lot of the other contributions that the movement has brought in change and awareness too. The simplest being the Raise the Wage Act, H.R.582. The #MeToo movement brought awareness to the widespread problems involving sexual harassment in not just the entertainment industry, but every industry, including resturant works. When working on tipped minimum wage, tips are everything. Customers could easily sexual harasse a work-
er before the #MeToo movement and they wouldn’t report it because they would lose their tip which often times was more than half their pay. According to congress.gov, the Raise the Wage act will help to get rid of the tipped minimum wage and make it somewhat easier for workers to report when a customer sexually harasses them. #MeToo brought these problems into the public eye and has helped to give the act the steam it needs to get passed.

R.I.P Kobe Bryant Mark Matthews Opinions Editor mjm2923@lockhaven.edu On January 26, the whole world was in shock and disbelief as reports came out that Kobe Bryant lost his life in a helicopter crash in California. In addition, the eight other passengers with Bryant succumbed in the crash, including Kobe’s 13 year old daughter, Gianna who was a basketball player herself as well. Kobe Bean Bryant, known as the “Black Mamba” was a five time NBA champion who spent all of his 20 seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. Additionally, he was a two time recipient of the NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) award and was winner of the regular season MVP award of the 2007-08 season. Bryant was selected to the NBA All-Star team 18 times as well. Many emotions and gloominess spreaded around the country when the Bryant death news became official. Bryant was not just a really talented basketball player. The impact he developed towards fans and family members made it that much more difficult to fathom his death. Many Twitter posts became public as the news came out. Miami Heat rookie guard Tyler Herro on his tweet said, “Every team has to retire 24.” Herro was referring to Bryant’s jersey number for the Lakers. Herro’s idea of this act of solitude for Kobe Bryant spread to other teams and players. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban already announced they have retired number 24. Many players changed their jersey numbers to honor Kobe. Some players such as Terrance Ross, Maurice Harkless changed their number 8 jersey to honor and respect Kobe. Others kept their jersey number to respect him, including Indiana Pacers players Justin Holiday and Alize Johnson. Holiday kept the number 8 jersey number and Johnson kept the number 24 jersey number. Los Angeles Lakers guard Quinn Cook did a unique tribute by changing his number 2 jersey to 28 to honor Gianna’s number 2 jersey and Kobe’s 8 jersey at the same time. Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie changed his jersey number from 8 to 26 to honor Gianna and Kobe. 26 is symbolic
to Dinwiddie, because 2 (Gianna’s number) + 24 (Kobe’s number) equals 26. Bryant received an immense amount of tributes to honor the legend. Many tributal Instagram posts went viral as fellow NBA players including LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Carmelo Anthony. James’ post began, “I’m not ready but here I go. Man I’m sitting here trying to write something for this post but every time I try I begin crying again just thinking about you, niece Gigi and the friendship/bond/brotherhood we had!” Ironically, the night before Bryant’s passing, James passed Bryant for third all-time in career points. At the first Philadelphia 76ers home game on January 28 against the Golden State Warriors the Wells Fargo Center honored Bryant, Gianna, and the seven other victims on the helicopter crash with nine bell rings. Also during the national anthem, the jersey of Bryant’s high school, Lower Merion was displayed in the center of the arena. Lower Merion High School is right on the Philadelphia Main Line suburbs, where Bryant resided during his childhood. Current Lock Haven senior guard Christian Kelly gave his words of how Kobe impacted his journey in basketball. Kelly said, “He impacted me in life a lot not just in basketball but generally speaking. On his approach with the game of basketball the hard work, detail, accountability, responsibility and leadership aspects it takes to become a great player and a winner.” Kelly added, “Kobe said give it you have so you don’t feel any regret that you did not put forth all the time and energy you could have to accomplish your dreams.” Kobe Bryant throughout his career had many inspirational quotes. Bryant’s famous slogan of “mamba mentality” is the mindset he will stamp for everyone to remember for a lifetime. One other quote that stood out was when he said, “Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.” This quote stands out because even though Bryant is gone, he will always remain impactful for generations to come.
