QB brings consistency to UC DAVID WYSONG | SPORTS EDITOR OPINION

When University of Cincinnati’s head football coach Tommy Tuberville picked sophomore Hayden Moore as his starting quarterback, he chose continuity over talent.

Although picking senior Gunner Kiel would have given Tuberville a more accomplished and polished quarterback, he chose to

pick someone who has a better chance to be on the field all season long.

In his third collegiate game, but first real dose of major playing time, Moore relieved Kiel against the University of Memphis and put on a record performance.

While not even starting, Moore passed for 557 yards and four touchdowns as he looked like he might have just as much talent as Kiel.

However, by the end of the season, Moore appeared in five more games, throwing 30 or more passes in four of them, and only finished with nine touchdowns and tossed 11 interceptions ― getting picked off three times while throwing zero touchdowns in the Hawai’i Bowl against San Diego State University.

Kiel, on the other hand, plays out of his mind nearly every game.

petition against fee LAUREN MORETTO | NEWS EDITOR

A student petition has been formed in the hopes that University of Cincinnati officials will reconsider a new international student fee that can be as much $300 a year.

The fee was included in international students’ fall semester bill, according to Ronald Cushing, director of UC International Services.

The largest percentage of the fee will go towards additional staffing to compensate for the growing number of international students who require their services, according to Cushing.

Additionally, a small percentage will go towards emergency funds.

“In the case of our Iraqi students, ISIS raises its ugly head and suddenly they can’t get funds out of the country. And so we get pretty regularly requested by students, who now have hardship for assistance, so they can remain here and complete their program,” said Cushing.

These fees are common in higher education and, compared to other universities, UC’s fee is modest, according to Cushing.

Some students already under the financial strain of being an international student disagree.

“It is way too much, and there are several people who have told me they can’t afford it,” said Matteo Lotito, a graduate physics student.

The petition, drawn up by members of UC’s international student body, called the survey sent out by the UC International Services misleading and claim they were not upfront about the motives behind its conduction.

They went on to say they felt “swindled” seeing the outcome was a new fee.

“Saying that you need these services on the basis of a biased survey is wrong,” said Arunkumar Muthusamy, a third-year biology student.

He argues the needs of international students

could be met through existing university resources.

This includes tuberculosis testing, which international students must complete when entering the country.

This type of testing is covered under UC health insurance, according to Muthusamy.

“We don’t understand how they could take away something covered by UC health insurance and keep it separate and try to use that to levy a fee greater than $80,” he said.

International student enrollment has doubled in the last eight years, according to Cushing.

This, in additional to the increased responsibilities of running an international office, has depleted UC’s ability to ward off additional fees.

Members of the UC International Services office said they looked into all avenues to bring in additional funding before turning to students, according to Muthusamy.

As a representative of the Student Advisory Committee on the University Budget (SACUB), Muthusamy said this was not the case.

“The first thing that groups do when they need additional funding is come to SACUB and present saying that look we need more funding,” said Muthusamy.

UC International, over the last year that SACUB was active, did not reach out to SACUB, according to Muthusamy.

Not everyone think it’s appropriate for the students to provide the funding.

“If the University isn’t able to provide essential services to the evergrowing international student population, we urge them to reconsider their enrollment strategies,” said Ayca Mazman, a graduate philosophy student.

Interim President Beverly Davenport met with international student body leaders to discuss the fee and is expected to address the issue Friday.

Professor Patricia Roper — Spanish Department. 25 reviews, 5.0 rating.

A lifetime of experience with the Spanish community has made Professor Patricia Roper the undeniable expert instructor she is today. Born in Northwestern Ohio, Roper had light exposure to the Spanish community at a young age.

While growing up with this, she developed a natural understanding of Spanish and excelled increasingly through her teen years.

During Roper’s senior year of college at Bowling Green University, a professor suggested that she begin student teaching in Colombia.

“That’s really where I got started with Spanish,” said Roper.

After falling in love with the culture during her time student teaching, she immediately began her life with it and it’s people after graduation. Roper moved to Spain, living there for three years and spent another in Barcelona.

The strong level of engagement students provide during her introductory-level courses comes out of her strong belief that “not everyone has to think the same.”This philosophy in teaching has led her to new methods of hands-on learning and interaction in order for her students to receive a fair chance in succeeding.

With experience in teaching adults, children and nearly every age inbetween, Roper has learned to always come prepared for what her students may learn.

During Roper’s free time, she takes passion in painting images, often about social justice and world matters.

These paintings are frequently donated, although she has been paid for her artwork in the past.

Professor Jason Heikenfeld — Electric Engineering and Computing Systems Department.

10 reviews, 4.9 rating.

Beginning his career with academic instructing at UC in 2005, Professor Heikenfeld has planned over the past decade on finding the most effective methods in active learning in his undergraduate Semiconductor Devices course and dual-level Optics course.

As a UC alumnus, Heikenfeld had first-hand perspective of traditional lecture-based teaching and passivelearning, and remembers his own struggle to stay engaged during a long lecture.

“I’ve always been searching for how I can improve student engagement,” he said. With this in mind at the start, Heikenfeld began trialing completely different structures in the classroom to create the best learning experience for students.

Heikenfeld identifies as a “researchintensive” professor, encouraging students to take control of their learning while orchestrating maximum interaction between the students.

“All my lectures are viewed online, and in class my students almost entirely engage in interactive problem solving,” said Heikenfeld.

THE STUDENT VOICE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CINCINNATI

While there has been success for Professor Heikenfeld in his teachings, he values his personal growth in academic instructing and strives to continue improving. “Let me be clear, this is not a final achievement,” said Heikenfeld.

Ph.D. Candidate Danika McLeod — Criminal Justice Department.

12 reviews, 5.0 rating.

After tackling her bachelor’s degree in Criminology and Sociology in 2010 from Marquette University and later completing her master’s in Criminal Justice from Xavier University in 2012, Danika McLeod continued her pursuit by instructing undergraduate Criminal Justice seniors at UC. Between her love of football and the achievement of receiving her black belt at the age of five, as well as teaching martial arts, McLeod was driven to pursue teaching.

“Overall, I love teaching and mentoring. It is my passion and what I can see myself doing for the rest of my career,” said McLeod.

The coursework McLeod teaches is the senior capstone, meaning each student is required to take the course and obtain an internship in order to graduate.

The high praise received by McLeod seemingly comes from her enthusiasm while teaching to help students feel eager to learn.

Apart from McLeod’s senior capstone course, she has also taught classes on Women and Crime, Policing in America and Intro to Criminal Justice.

2 / NEWS ‘Blue Lives Matter’ legislation brings controversy THURSDAY, AUG. 25, 2016

KINSLEY SLIFE | NEWS EDITOR

In May, Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards signed a new bill into legislation to protect police officers under hate crime law, dawning the name of an evolving movement—Blue Lives Matter.

The Democratic governor’s state became the first in the nation to protect officers under such law, heightening both fines and jail time for offenders.

As a movement, Blue Lives Matter began after the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, two years ago.

The movement was created “to honor and recognize the actions of law enforcement to strengthen the public support of an understandably naive society,” according to

the Blue Lives Matter Facebook page.

With some nationwide attention prior to the passing of the Louisiana bill, Blue Lives Matter may be growing in popularity and fostering potential like-minded legislation in other states.

Just last month, Sen. Kevin Bratcher (R-Kentucky) drafted a bill to protect law enforcement under similar pretenses, but unlike Louisiana, Kentucky is facing some opposition.

Justin Byrd, a fourthyear criminal justice student at the University of Cincinnati, believes the bill is a good thing but disagrees with the name’s likeness to the Black Lives Matter movement.

“Of course I’m in some agreement with the bill because it’s meant to

protect police officers but I kind of feel like it’s a little vague and excessive considering that any assault or crime against a police officer now still calls for more serious charges,” said Byrd. “But I think they could have come up with a better name.”

Other UC community members agree and bear even stronger feelings towards the juxtaposition of the movements.

“If anything, creating a movement to protect police under the name Blue Lives Matter only hurts the goals of both movements,” said Brice Mickey, program coordinator for the Racial Awareness and Protection Program (RAPP) at UC. Mickey is also an active part of the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Some UC community

members are unsurprised that Blue Lives Matter exists, and fear that legislation like that of Louisiana will spread to Ohio.

Others that The News Record contacted have never even heard of Blue Lives Matter, although Cincinnati Councilman Christopher Smitherman has publicly supported the movement. Both the movement and potential legislation are drawing mixed feelings from community members due to the counterargumentative nature of the name.

“Police are a valued group. They do serve a purpose and protect us, but because of the history we’ve seen with police brutality, the Blue Lives Matter movement only sets up a dichotomy of us

versus them, when instead the movements should be in conjunction with each other,” said Mickey.

Ohio has not seen any direct attempts from legislators to pass bills of similar nature, but awareness of the movement is growing.

Mickey has heard audible sighs when Blue Lives

Matter was brought up during RAPP workshops, and sees the movement in a negative light.

“I do support the protection of police officers, I just think the movement’s intentions were more put in place to derail the conversation about why Black Lives Matter,” he said.

SG votes to host assault prevention speaker ASHLEIGH PIERCE | CHIEF REPORTER

Student Government reconvenes for fall semester Wednesday evening, Aug. 24, 2016.

ALEXANDRA TAYLOR | PHOTO EDITOR

Student Government President, Mitchell Phelps welcomes SG back from summer break, Wednesday evening, Aug. 24, 2016.

The University of Cincinnati Student Government voted 25-2-0 Wednesday to pass a bill to host sexual assault prevention speaker Tim Mousseau for two sessions on Sept. 12.

Tim Mousseau is a sexual assault prevention and education expert and professional speaker who experienced his own struggles as a sexual-assault victim.

One session will be promoted to the entire UC campus. Another will have a more targeted audience, including UC Greek life, athletics, administration and SG. The approved bill allocates $4,100 for SG to pay for the event. SG has requested both UC Greek life and the athletics department to each sponsor $700 toward the event, but the sponsorships are yet to be determined.

SG Senator Dana Drage said she was hesitant about the cost of the speaker, but believes Mousseau will help start the conversation on campus as a call to action.

“I think it’s really something we need, and I think that with the number of people we’re inviting and with the right marketing push, it will definitely be worth every dollar,” Drage said.

Some of those in attendance brought up what an enormous problem sexual assault is on college campuses.

“This speaker could reach one person, get through to them and prevent somebody from going through a lifetime of trauma,” said Kaleigh DeVoe, executive director of Diversity and Inclusion. “I don’t think you can put a price tag on that.”

Many senators noted that the event is targeted toward high-risk demographics.

“I think it’s a very valuable investment of our time,” said Senator Kevin Leugers. “There’s not much that I know of that’s being targeted toward at-risk or high-risk demographics.”

Members of SG cited UC’s freshman class, many of whom may have never had any exposure to sexual assault education, as an

incentive for bringing in the speaker.

Having a male speak on the topic may prove beneficial, according to Student Body President Mitchell Phelps “In sexual assault and gender-based violence, it’s typically pegged as a female issue, and having a male speaker I think will really open up that audience, and it will really invite other demographics to come listen and hear from a different perspective,” Phelps said.

The search is on for UC’s next president, and students will be a part of the process.

There will be two student sessions addressing the search that will begin next week, according to Phelps, who is serving as the undergraduate student representative on the presidential search committee.

The first session will be Wednesday from 5-6 p.m. in the Lindner Athletics Center.

The second will be Sept. 1 from 12-1:30 p.m. in Tangeman University Center 400.

A student survey will accompany the search process.

UC Muslim students speak on burqa ban LAUREN MORETTO | NEWS EDITOR

A University of Cincinnati alumnus is speaking out against the ban on burqas and ‘burkinis’ spreading through Europe.

Over the past month, several French beaches have banned the combination burqa-bikini, including Nice, the site of the Bastille Day terrorist attack in July.

The burkini is a fullbody swimsuit with an additional head covering, leaving the face, hands and feet bare.

Women not in compliance with the burkini ban face a range of fees depending on the city.

Cannes, one of France’s regions with a burkini ban, cited the recent terrorist attacks as a contributing factor to the law’s implementation.

“A beach outfit showing in an ostentatious manner a religious affiliation, given that France and religious places are currently the target of terrorist acts, has the nature of creating risks of troubles of public order (mobs, conflicts, etc.) that are necessary to be prevented,” said the new law.

To Amina Darwish, UC alumna and member of UC’s Muslim Student Association, the ban is just as much about religion as it is a means of control.

“I think anytime we tell women what to wear it intrudes on women’s freedom,” said Darwish.

“It’s oppressive to tell women what to wear and equally as oppressive to tell them what not to wear.”

Only a week after several French cities announced a ban on the burkini, German officials proposed their own ban targeting face veils.

The burqa, a full-body veil, and the niqab, which covers the full body except for the eyes, are among the proposed banned garments.

The proposal aims to ban face veils in all public places and institutions

of Germany, thereby barring entry to those not in compliance until they remove their face veil.

“It does not fit into our society for us, for our communication, for our cohesion in the society,” said Germany’s Interior Minister Thomas de Maizerie, according to CNN. “This is why we demand you show your face.”

Maizerie also suggested the ban was a means of national security.

“I can’t see the correlation between what a woman is wearing and nationalism security,” said Darwish. “It’s insulting to say that having a Muslim identity is a threat to national security.”

Part of the solution towards stronger national security is presenting moderate Islam to the community, according to Darwish.

“People that attend mosques become deradicalized, and it’s the people on the fringes that don’t come to the mosques that don’t hear what normative Islam looks like, they become radicalized, and they’re the group that radical terrorist organizations prey on,” said Darwish.

Republican Party nominee Donald Trump has proposed banning all foreign Muslims from the US as part of his immigration plan, calling to “temporarily suspend immigration from some of the most dangerous and volatile regions of the world that have a history of exporting terrorism.”

Trump’s rhetoric towards Muslims concerns Darwish.

“Trump for some reason is obsessed with the term radical Islam,” she said.

“What the rhetoric does is it plays into their hands of saying ‘see it is Islam vs. the west.”

Despite what she calls the “frenzy of Trump,” Darwish remains optimistic.

“America is better than he says we are,” she said. “I know this in my heart.”

Whether Cincinnati has been a lifetime home for you or is newfound one, it’s important to know the best restaurants around.

UC’s surrounding campus area holds a surplus of culturally diverse diners, ranging from sushi to hamburgers and even Chinese to gyros.

Here are Clifton’s best places to eat, according to Google ratings.

Gilpin’s

Located on Clifton Avenue, Gilpin’s is an easy access restaurant for students living near campus. Opened in 2008, the founder of Gilpin’s wanted the restaurant to convey nightlife drinking while bringing in a German taste to its food.

The most popular style of crust includes their Sicilian style, which is offered in sizes ranging from medium to extra-large, a.k.a the Bearcat pizza. Adriatico’s also offers free delivery, useful for any college student craving pizza on a budget.

If you walk too fast or don’t give the sign a strong glance, you might just miss it.

From the outside, it appears to be a hole in the wall but the inside is home to a cozy family-owned restaurant, where noodles are made fresh and the service is fast.

Whether you’re in the mood for authentic Chinese or Americanized Chinese food, Fortune Noodle House will sate your hunger. They are conveniently located on the corner of Calhoun St. near Hughes High School.

If you’re not craving sushi or noodles, they also offer a hot fudge-covered fried ice cream and mochi ice cream. It may be a tight squeeze in seating, but the speedy sushi chefs and nightlight café vibe will keep you coming back.

Chicago Gyros

Don’t let the name mislead you. This modern eatery has meals as simple as hamburgers all the way to Italian and Greek. If you’re nervous to commit to a full gyro, an easy alternative is their Gyro Dog, combining hot dogs with a traditional Greek gyro.

Local battle of the bands ends

BREWCATS: Woodburn Brewery grand opening Friday night RUSSELL HAUSFELD | ARTS AND CULTURE EDITOR

Cincinnati’s list of local breweries is rapidly expanding, and now there is another to add to your list that is conveniently close to campus: Woodburn Brewery and Taproom. As the name might suggest, this brewery is opening right on Woodburn Ave. across from other great shops like Myrtle’s and Manifest Gallery.

Co-owners Dennis Chacon and Chris Mitchell are opening the brewery on Friday at 3:30 p.m. Their new building — which can look deceptively small from the outside — is actually a 4,000 squarefoot lot that used to be a silent movie theater in the early 1900’s. Like many other breweries around town, Woodburn’s facility is highlighted by exposed brick, copper and industrial themes, accentuating the idea that this is a taproom as well as a production facility.

After the official ribboncutting Friday afternoon, the brewery will celebrate its opening by tapping a keg of their special Coffee Chocolate Cherry Stout.

Along with the ceremoniously tapped Coffee Chocolate Cherry Stout, Woodburn will be opening with 10 other house-made beers on tap.

These options include: Pale Ale, Cedar IPA, Pineapple Saison, Belgian Wit, Altbier, Belgian Quad, Chocolate Cherry Stout, Wit’s End Wheat, Steinpilsils and Lactose Loves Peaches IPA.

Personally, I’m really excited to try the Cedar IPA, because I can just imagine what a great combination the piney citrus of an IPA with the woody taste of cedar must be. Some of the other beers on tap have the chops to be exceptional brews, too. Woodburn’s Steinpils is made from local business-owner Ingolf Steinkamp’s recipe, a multiple gold medal-winning brew in Germany.

At the grand opening, there will also be a live DJ and catering from Gomez Salsa — the delicious little walk-up taco window in OTR. Gomez Salsa will be serving up their “turtles,” which are tortillas stuffed with all the goodies you’d want in a burrito, plus a crunchy tostado, and then sealed with cheese.

Right now, Woodburn’s starting out modestly with a 20-barrel Columbus, Ohioconstructed brew house (compare that to Rheingheist’s 60-barrel brew house expansion last March).

Eventually, Woodburn plans to start distributing their brews with draft and canned options. So, check out Cincinnati’s newest brewery this weekend, sip on some of their Pineapple Saison and take a crisp nighttime walk under the looming spire of the St. Francis de Salles Cathedral.

DRINK: Woodburn Brewery, 2800 Woodburn Ave., (513) 601-8783, Monday-Friday 4 p.m.-12 a.m., Saturday-Sunday 12 p.m.-12 a.m.

Cigar aficionados jump to Jungle Jim’s CHEYENNE KRIEGER | CONTRIBUTOR

Smoking cigars — an antiquated pastime or today’s trendiest way to light up? Based on the amount of places in Cincinnati to kick back with a stogie, it’s safe to say that cigars aren’t being snubbed out any time soon.

Jungle Jim’s, the one-stop shop for all grocery necessities, offers more than an international super market. Aside from exotic foods and beverages, cooking classes, boutiques and gift shops, Jungle Jim’s hosts a number of Junglefests throughout the year.

Friday and Saturday, the Jungle Jim’s Cigar Festival will provide access to various cigar vendors.

A festival for newbies and professionals alike, the Cigar Festival promises a weekend of relaxation while trying out the industry’s greatest cigars, sipping on craft beers and listening to live music.

As college students, we flock to festivals, but what happens when the vendors pack up and we’re left with an ashtray of our favorite cigars?

Not to worry, you dapper smokers.

First place is awarded $3,500, a full day of recording at Cincinnati’s own Moonlight Studios and a spot playing at the 2016 Cincy BeerFest.

Second place receives $1,000, and third place receives $500. All bands in the top three slots will get a paid performance slot at Pirate’s Den, too.

Competing bands include modern, Metallicasounding Bipolar Opposites; Covington’s

multicultural, alt-rock and hip-hop group Day Needs Night; pop-rock cover band Hot Zombie; country act the Justin Bryan Band; high-energy, pop group with members from UC, The Interns; Cincinnati based multi-genre cover band Spearpoint; and altrockers from Morehead, Kentucky Wicked Peace.

If you are sitting around bored before the Battle starts at 8 p.m., you can get down to the Pirate’s Den early and take advantage of their Happy Hour specials, which are available from 11:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. They offer $2 domestic bottles of beer and $5 half-pound burgers.

If you or your band either didn’t get into Pirate Den’s battle or didn’t make it to the finals, there is another big battle coming up only a month after Pirate Den announces their winner — Madison Theater’s Band Challenge. Sign-ups for Madison Theater’s 20162017 competition open up Oct. 1 with absolutely no entry fee. And winners can win up to $2,500 and a recording opportunity at Moonlight Studios.

Straus Tobacconist opened its doors in 1880, making it America’s fourth oldest tobacconist. The cigar shop, located in downtown Cincinnati as well in Florence, specializes in handmade cigars and pipes, imported tobaccos, and an assortment of accessories.

“For us, cigars and tobacco products is not a sideline of our business — it is our business. Along with the products we sell, we strive to offer the finest, personalized customer service, delivered by professionals who know the products and stand behind everything they sell,” said Straus Tobacconist president Jim Clark.

Straus caters to beginners as well as to those looking for the most rare tobacco, with prices ranging from $2 to $40 per cigar.

“I’m a little prejudiced, of course, but I don’t think you’ll find a better learning and buying experience than you will find here,” said Clark.

Once a customer has gone in, learned about a few cigars and made a purchase, each person is welcome to relax and smoke in a cozy sitting area.

ranging from very affordable for beginners to rather expensive for experts.

“Cigars can be as unique as they are. Discovering what you like is what we work hard to deliver, and we try to take our guest beyond the simple understanding of a brand name,” said Bell.

Cincinnati has exploded with options for smoking, including hookah cafes, e-cigarette bars and, notably, cigar shops. Stop by the Jungle Jim’s Cigar Festival and then bring your newfound love for cigars back to the city limits.

Much like Straus, Bell’s House of Tobacco appeals to anyone looking for cigars, pipes, tobacco, e-cigarettes and accessories. Bell’s, based out of northeast Cincinnati, has been carrying bold, distinct tobacco since 1999.

Cincinnati is funny: Brew Haha celebrates its tenth year in the Queen City MOHAMMED PATEL | STAFF REPORTER

Comedians, beer vendors and spectators gather around every August in Sawyer Point for the Cincy Brew Ha­Ha comedy festival. The festival celebrates its tenth iteration this year with 120 beers and 75 comedians spread across 30 booths and four stages.

The comedy is entirely free, but there is a $5 fee for a beer bracelet with an additional $3 fee for every two beers purchased.

The festival is open to all ages, but attendees must be at least 21 to purchase alcohol.

Michael Kurtz, booker and manager of Cincinnati’s own Go Bananas Comedy Club, puts together the festival every year.

Although he injured his

leg earlier this year, he will be seen running across the park to ensure the success of the festival.

He has been known to that at past festivals to ensure Cincinnati’s biggest comedy festival is running smoothly.

“Brew Ha­Ha is so special because it is like Cincinnati’s very own comedy festival,” said comedian Gabe Kea when asked about last year’s festival. “There are many comedy festivals all over the country, but not many incorporate everyone from the local comedy scene in the festival.”

The festival showcases Cincinnati’s finest, as well as a variety of different comedians both professional and amateur from out of town to give the festival variety.

Chris Porter, the third-

place winner from season four of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing” and the star of his Netflix special “Ugly and Angry,” headlines Thursday night’s festivities. Emmy Awardwinning host of Discovery Channel’s “Cash Cab” Ben Bailey and Hal Sparks, who stars in Disney’s “Lab Rats,” headline Friday and Saturday respectively.

The festival also features such acts as Robert Hawkins, Chad Daniels, Dave Waite, Geoff Tate, Alex Stone and current University of Cincinnati student Zachary.

University of Cincinnati alumni Andy Gasper, Iain McDavid and Blake Hammond will also be performing at different stages for the festival. Food will be available all over the park from eateries Krimmer’s Italianette

Pizzeria, Wertheim’s Restaurant, Skyline Chili and Island Noodles.

The proceeds from Brew Ha­Ha go to several local charities such as The Cure Starts Now, a charities that works to put a united front towards curing cancer.

LAUGH: Sawyer

Point, 705 E Pete Rose Way, 5 p.m.-12 a.m.

BLUE LIVES

Summer 2016: Polls, Olympic medals, lies and violence CLARITY AMREIN | CONTRIBUTOR

GRAPHIC BY RUSSEL HAUSFELD

Black, all, blue: What matters AMIR SAMARGHANDI | MANAGING EDITOR

It’s an analogy widely disseminated by now: Bob is at a dinner; everyone gets a meal except for Bob. Hungry Bob says “Bob deserves food,” but the response from all the other well-fed attendees is “everyone deserves food.”

And it has served as the perfect analogy for the Black Lives Matter movement and insidious response of “all lives matter.”

It does not need to be stated that everyone deserves food, or life and any other basic human right.

But when someone is completely denied the same access — like the metaphorical Bob for the centuries-long systematic oppression of black people, including the countless names slain by police officers recently — the conversation isn’t about everyone any more.

When the response to their struggle is saying everyone else deserves what they aren’t getting, you aren’t being egalitarian; you are blithely ignoring them because you don’t like what they say.

I’m yet to see someone protest the NFL’s annual fall ensemble of pink-hued gear in honor of breast cancer awareness month.

Even on the hyper-snarky internet, nobody is callous enough to seriously say “all cancers matters,” without trying to reach soulless troll status.

The newest twist on Black Lives Matter versus the all lives matter debate has been largely framed since the July 7 events in Dallas, where five police were shot dead and another seven injured during a protest of the recent officer-related deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.

Ten days later, three more officers were shot dead in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with three more injured.

The newest response to Black Lives Matter has been that “blue lives matter,” meaning police officers. What a fascinating development.

Singling out the plight of black people, or Bob from earlier, was some sort of affront to the color-blind post-racial paradigm; but blue lives matter is a perfectly acceptable response.

So was the issue with the word “black?”

This summer at the Cincinnati Enquirer, I interned at the real-time breaking news beat.

Talking to police officers was a daily occurrence, as was being face to face with the brutal reality of daily deaths, robberies and assaults.

I would never sully the extremely hard, necessary and great work that men and women in uniform do keeping us safe.

However, another brutal reality is the lack of accountability that officers face for their misdeeds.

Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Tamir Rice and Freddie

Gray were killed in officerrelated incidents that ended with no charges, among many, many others.

Former University of Cincinnati police officer Ray Tensing begins trial on Oct. 24 for murder charges in connection to the July 2015 shooting death of Samuel DuBose.

The legal system will decide Tensing’s fate for a traffic stop in which the officer deemed the most aggressive at UCPD stopped DuBose and claimed he was dragging the officer with his vehicle.

That account appears to be easily debunked given Tensing’s body cam footage.

It’s an important step that Tensing was actually indicted and facing the most serious of charges.

But it’s equally important that two officers who corroborated Tensing’s false narrative, Phillip Kidd and David Lindenschmidt, face serious consequences for their behavior, as do all officers sworn to protect and serve.

Nobody in their right mind ever tried to say all lives don’t matter, just that black ones do.

Nor did anyone say that the lives of the many, many diligent and heroic officers around the nation don’t matter.

This is all simply a matter of people dying for seemingly no reason, with no repercussions.

Bob just wants dinner — and justice.

As the 2016 presidential election gets closer by the minute, Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton are neck and neck in the polls.

Clinton now polls at 43 percent and Trump closely behind at 38 percent, although according to the New York Times, it is estimated that Clinton has an overall 89 percent chance of winning.

Clinton has only a narrow six-point lead in Ohio, and the candidates are completely tied in Iowa, two crucial swing states.

Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has picked up serious steam, now polling nationally at nine percent, according to The Washington Times. In Ohio, he has risen to six percent favorability, with Green Party candidate Jill Stein trailing behind at two percent.

Both Clinton and Trump have spoken at their respective rallies in Ohio this past month and will continue campaigning.

Clinton’s ongoing email scandal comes to a judicial close, as FBI Director James Comey told the U.S. Department of Justice that Clinton should not be prosecuted for sending government information over a private email server because there was not enough evidence to prove that she intentionally mishandled it.

Comey did note, however, that Clinton and her staff handled the emails “extremely carelessly.”

A conservative legal advocacy group called Judicial Watch has now filed several lawsuits against the Justice Department over Clinton, and Clinton has been ordered by a federal judge to release the last 15,0000 emails beginning in October, as they are reviewed.

It is expected that the bulk of the emails will be released just weeks before the Nov. 8 election, according to The New York Times.

Released in both an interview with Clinton and to Congress, the emails were reported to have a lot of unnecessarily redacted material and inconsistencies between the copies submitted.

Olympic results The U.S. walks away with 121 Olympic medals, the most amount of any country as the 2016 Summer Olympics wrapped up Aug. 21.

This year, the men took home 55 medals, and the women with a dominating 61 medals, taking 27 gold medals out of the country’s total 46, according to National Public Radio.

In Olympic medal standing, Great Britain comes in second and China in third.

However, the Olympic games were rife with

controversy.

US swimmer Ryan Lochte claimed that he and his friends were robbed by men who appeared to be police officers and later admits he lied in an attempt to cover an incident of drunken vandalism in a gas station.

Meanwhile, an European Olympic official was arrested and is facing charges for participating in a multi-million dollar ticket scalping scheme.

And while Brazil already faces criticism for its deep political corruption that has caused the country’s huge economic crisis, it will now face major problems paying the enormous price tag of hosting the 2016 Olympics.

Conflict continues in Syria The violent Syrian civil war between President Bashar al-Assad and those opposed to him battle over rule for Syria, as well as Islamic extremists, has left 250,000 dead and 11 million without a home and continues.

As reported Wednesday morning by UK’s Independent, Turkish tanks and special forces have officially crossed into Syria, attacking all night with air strikes in attempt to push back terrorist group ISIS.

Tennis open still shines without star players DAVID WYSONG | SPORTS EDITOR

The Western and Southern Open, a professional tennis tournament where the likes of Rodger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova have won the men’s and women’s titles, saw some of the sports’ stars unable to play in this year’s tournament.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic withdrew due to a wrist injury and seven-time Western and Southern Open champion Federer is sitting out the rest of the year in order to rehab a knee injury.

Williams withdrew in the midst of the tournament because of a shoulder injury and Sharapova is in the middle of a two-year drug ban.

On the men’s side, the lack of stars gave a greater chance for lower-seeded players to find success in a Masters 1000 tournament ― a series of tournaments ranked below the four grand slam tournaments.

Lower-seeded men’s players have not found much success at Masters 1000 tournaments in recent history, especially in Cincinnati, as the lowest seeded player to win the

Western and Southern Open in the past decade was No. 9 seeded Andy Roddick in 2006.

Murray said he is not sure why it has been hard for lower-seeded players to find success in these tournaments.

“Obviously a lot of the top guys have been in the latter stages of the Masters series and often to win them you have got to win against a couple of them which, you know, is not easy,” Murray said. “It just goes to show the consistency of the top players of the last 10 years or so has been phenomenal.”

Even with not as many top-ranked players in the tournament, if any male wanted to win their bracket they had to get through No. 1 seeded Murray or No. 3 seeded Nadal.

Nadal, who won the Western and Southern Open in 2013, came in after winning a gold medal in the Olympics the week prior in men’s doubles.

However, he could not build off his medal-winning momentum. Nadal’s lingering wrist injury from earlier this summer caused him to lose in the third round to his non-ranked

opponent Borna Coric.

With one of the two big names out early, Murray had the pressure solely on him to come away with the championship.

Murray’s time in Cincinnati was much different than Nadal’s as he dominated his competition in a run to the finals.

The finals, however, was when the top-ranked players’ reign finally came to an end.

No. 12 seeded Marin Cilic dominated Murray from the get-go as he beat him in two sets to capture his first Western and Southern Open title.

“I was really having trouble in the Masters’ series, compared to grand slams… to win it’s obviously a big relief,” Cilic said.

On the women’s side of the tournament, with Williams out, the best in the field was No. 2 player in the world Angelique Kerber.

Despite not being as wellknown as Williams, Kerber has become one of the best tennis players in the world as she had the opportunity to be the No. 1 women’s player in the world if she had won the title on Sunday.

No. 15 seeded Karolina

Pliskova made sure Williams remained No. 1, however, as she continued the tournament’s upset trend.

Pliskova looked as if she was the higher ranked player against Kerber, beating her in two sets.

“Some days you lose matches and some days you win,” Kerber said. “On court I was not thinking about [being No. 1] because I am here to play good tennis and try to win matches.”

Why UC and Big 12 should get together JASON SZELEST | STAFF REPORTER

UC women’s soccer defeats NKU in front of the largest crowd for a collegiate women’s soccer match in the history of Ohio at Nippert Stadium Monday August 22, 2016.

Nippert’s place as perfect soccer pitch DAVID WYSONG | SPORTS EDITOR

This football field is now a proper soccer pitch.

On Nov. 2, 1901 the University of Cincinnati played a football game at Varsity Field in Burnet Woods against Ohio University. Twenty-three years later the same field was dedicated as James Gamble Nippert Stadium and had a capacity of 12,000.

Since then, Nippert Stadium has had multiple renovations, now having a capacity of 40,000, and has primarily been the home of UC’s football team.

While also hosting local high school teams, Nippert has almost strictly been a football stadium over the years ― until this year.

In 2016 the city of Cincinnati introduced their newest professional soccer team, Futbol Club Cincinnati, and the new club needed a place to host their home games.

That is when the destiny of Nippert Stadium ultimately changed.

FC Cincinnati chose to play their home games at Nippert, turning the stadium into a home for a nonfootball team for the first time.

With professional soccer never being held in Cincinnati, there were not many expectations on how the city would react, but with the club wanting to eventually enter Major League Soccer, fans came out and supported their new hometown team in bunches.

In the team’s inaugural home match, FC Cincinnati broke the United Soccer League’s attendance record with 20,497 fans. They then went and broke their own record on May 14 with 23,000 in attendance.

On July 16, those numbers seemed tiny.

English Premier League’s

Crystal Palace came and played a friendly game against Cincinnati and 35,061 fans showed up ― the biggest crowd at a soccer match in the history of Ohio.

Cincinnati fans clearly showed they love the sport of soccer and Nippert proved to be a great home for the other type of futbol.

Since soccer in Nippert worked so well for FC Cincinnati, the University of Cincinnati’s men’s and women’s soccer teams decided to also test the waters.

The men’s soccer team will play Saint Francis University at Nippert Sept.

4, and the women’s team already played a game Monday against Northern Kentucky University ― in addition to a scheduled game against Youngstown State University Sept. 18.

In the women’s first game at Nippert Monday they, like FC Cincinnati, had a recordbreaking crowd.

Over 4,700 fans came and watched the Bearcats defeat NKU 1-0 ― the most fans to ever attend a collegiate, as well as a women’s, soccer match in Ohio.

“It just really proves what a soccer hotbed Cincinnati is,” said UC women’s soccer head coach Niel Stafford.

“People are really turning out for this sport, whether it’s male or female, it’s nothing short of amazing.

To be honest, I always knew Cincinnati was a real good soccer place, but I just didn’t think it was going to be this crazy and we’re really speechless.”

FC Cincinnati has two more games in Nippert Stadium on the season, the next one being 4:30 p.m.

Sept. 5.

UC’s men’s team will play Saint Francis 4 p.m.

Sept. 4 and the women face Youngstown State 1 p.m.

Sept. 18.

The overriding question within the athletics department at the University of Cincinnati this summer was whether or not the Bearcats will be leaving the American Athletic Conference ― which it joined in 2013 following the collapse of football in the Big East Conference.

If the Bearcats were to leave, the logical landing spot for them would be the Big 12 conference, which has publicly stated that they are looking to expand from 10 to 12 or 14 teams.

Current interim UC President Beverly Davenport has publicly expressed her university’s interest to the Big 12.

Her predecessor, Santa Ono, made sure the university’s interest in the move was not under question.

In the past year, Cincinnati has launched renovation projects for both the football and basketball stadiums that will cost an estimated $173 million.

These projects were intended to renew run-down parts of the buildings, as well as expand in size.

All of these steps taken by the Bearcats have been done in attempt to show the Big 12 they are interested.

The question that remains is why should the Big 12 be interested in them?

Common belief is that the Big 12

will only add two teams, as Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby has stated he does not want to get his conference’s athletic product bogged down by the addition of too many schools that might not be good fits.

There are now approximately 20 schools fighting for those spots, according to ESPN. Many of these schools attempting to get in do not have the history of success in athletics, the money or the market to be considered a viable option ahead of the home of the Bearcats.

The list of the few serious contenders that can realistically meet the requirements for the Big 12 includes: the University of Houston, Brigham Young University, the University of Connecticut and the University of Memphis.

Houston easily has the biggest market out of these programs and is already located in the heart of Big 12 country ― Texas.

They have also experienced success both recently and historically in both football and basketball, the two biggest money-making sports, and subsequently the two sports that Big 12 cares the most about.

Memphis has a decent basketball tradition and is a recruiting hotbed for top-notch basketball players, which

would certainly interest the Big 12, but has experienced relatively no success on the gridiron.

Connecticut, like Memphis, is more known for their hoops, having won four national championships. In football, they have only been to six bowl games in their history, and they are located 1,260 miles from the second closest team in the Big 12.

Brigham Young comes from a very small market in Provo, Utah, and is 875 miles away from the closest university in the Big 12.

They are the only school under consideration with a national championship in football. They have experienced recent success in basketball, making eight of the last ten NCAA tournaments, but have never made it past the Elite Eight.

Cincinnati stacks up fairly well against these teams. It has the second largest market available to the conference, when including surrounding areas, and boasts a talented recruiting hotbed that the Big 12 would love to tap into.

They also possess a rich basketball tradition that includes two national championships.

My prediction is that the Bearcats and the Houston Cougars will become the newest members of the Big 12 conference.

FROM TUBERVILLE PG 1

In 2014 Kiel threw for 3,254 yards, 31 touchdowns and 13 interceptions through 13 games ― throwing four touchdowns against the 2014 national champion Ohio State University Buckeyes.

Kiel saw his numbers in yards and touchdowns decline in 2015 due to only playing in 10 games and not playing the entirety of some of them, but his completion percentage increased nearly six percent.

Not only that, but Kiel first committed to LSU to play for the Tigers and then eventually enrolled at the University of Notre Dame, where he was a part of the team his freshman season before transferring to UC in 2012, further proving his talent as starting quarterback.

If a SEC team, like LSU, and the Notre Dame college football powerhouse saw something in Kiel, then the talent level is certainly there.

So why did Tuberville go with Moore instead?

The answer is simple: health.

There have been a number

of times during Kiel’s era in Cincinnati where he has missed entire games, or left in the middle of them, due to an injury while playing.

However, Moore was consistently called upon last season and not banged up nearly as much as Kiel.

Rhythm is of the utmost importance at the quarterback position; they have to have chemistry with their receivers and even their running backs.

If Moore is practicing with the second-string players all week and gathering a rhythm with them, but is then forced to play with the first-string guys after zero practice, it puts the whole team at a disadvantage.

Tuberville’s thought process is likely to have the first-string guys on the field not be thrown into any tough situations this season because Moore will be able to stay on the field and keep the team’s rhythm intact.

It will be seen if the decision will help the Bearcats win more games, but right now it looks as if Tuberville would rather his team have more continuity over more talent.
