UC receives $8M for aneurysm research sara maratta the news record
University of Cincinnati researchers received $8 million in stimulus funds to continue their study in identifying genes responsible for intracranial aneurysms. The federal grant is a part of the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. “This grant is a big shot in the arm for our research,” said Joseph Broderick, chairman of the UC neurology department and principal investigator for the study. The grant supports the Familial
Intracranial Aneurysm (FIA) II study spanning a two-year period. “We’re close to identifying the genes responsible for intracranial aneurysms,” Broderick said. “But we still need to nail them down and the specific reason why JOSEPH they cause the formation BRODERICK of aneurysms.” UC is the coordinating center of the FIA studies. Phase I of the study was a five-

year endeavor that involved participants from the U.S., New Zealand, Australia and Canada. The collaborative effort among 27 clinics investigated diverse populations. “There were multiple results from FIA I that showed suggestive genes that could predispose or protect people from aneurysm,” said Laura Sauerbeck, clinical manager of the study. “With this genetic research we need to replicate the findings of previous studies to make sure that the information is true, the money will help fund replication.” Because the grant is backed by the
Recovery Act, enrollment in FIA II is limited to those in North America. Phase II of the FIA study is structured to check for environmental and genetic factors that might be culpable of causing aneurysms. Two genes in particular have been singled out for having a possible association with the aneurysms. The FIA II study attempts to replicate two different genes. “If we can understand the genes and proteins that lead to intracranial aneurysms then we can help prevent them and understand why they happen,” Broderick said.

Although Cincinnati received its first shipment of the H1N1 vaccines, the University of Cincinnati is waiting to see how much, in total, will be distributed to UC and when, according to University Health Services (UHS). When UC receives the vaccine, there are plans to make Fifth Third Arena a center for mass immunization. Since the number of doses is unknown, plans to administer the vaccines are tentative. “We’ll get it in peoples noses or arms as soon as we get it,” said Dr. John Andrews, director of UHS. “The point is, [the contraction of H1N1] could happen.” Due to the lack of reported cases, an exact number of on-campus H1N1 is unknown. “Right now it’s sort of a rolling thing,” Andrews said. “We’ve had students that had it, teachers that had it, doctors that had it – it’s everywhere.” Approximately 40 people showed up to the presentation hosted by UC’s Wellness Center as part of its twice-quarterly “Lunch and Learn” presentations. The Wellness Center decided H1N1 should be addressed due to the immediate threat it presents, said Regan Johnson, program director of UC Wellness Center. “We have a diverse [range of] people that come,” Johnson said. “We get faculty and students that want to know where it came from and how many people have [H1N1].” Andrews prepared a presentation to trace the origins of H1N1. The strain apparently went through three stages of reconfiguration so that its biologic breakdown shows pieces of bird and swine flu as well. UHS is attempting to inform the university about the myths and misconceptions about the virus through regular, campus-wide adviseries about repelling and preventing the spread of illness, but Andrews is cautious because of the mutative nature of H1N1. UHS recorded at least 10 cases of H1N1 last week, Andrews said. “Things can change. They can change next week, they can change next year,” Andrews said. “In two to three months from now, it could be pretty exciting trying to figure out what kind of flu you have and what kind of medication to give you.” The vaccine itself will be administered either nasally or through a needle. It has also come to the public’s attention through reports that the vaccine causes serious side effects for those who take it, because pharmaceutical companies rushed it out of testing. Mercury, for instance, is said to be present in the shot form. University efforts are not concentrated on eradicating H1N1 on campus, Andrews said. “I have no hope of making it go away,” Andrews said. “I’m just looking out for [everyone’s] health.” As for defensive measures, the same strategy remains. The UHS stresses washing hands, coughing into elbows and other steps to assure general health. H1N1 is like other viruses in that recent contraction will help stave off the sickness in the near future.

MISSING MONEY
Explaining the $50,000 in unclaimed funds ariel cheung the news record
In a time when every dollar counts, the Ohio Department of Commerce reported the University of Cincinnati has more than $50,000 in unclaimed funds. But it’s a statement UC treasurer Bill Doering says is inaccurate. While the funds might be under UC’s name, the majority of the money does not actually belong to the university, Doering said. Even if the funds are listed under UC, they could belong to someone else, Doering said. If a company has UC or university in its name, there can often be confusion. For example, a deli located near campus could call itself UC Deli and then be included on the list of university unclaimed funds because of its name. “Just because it says UC, it’s not always us,” Doering said. While the majority of the money does not belong to UC, the treasury will be collecting what does. If insurance companies have checks made out to UC that are never cashed, the companies are required by law to turn the money over to the state’s Division of Unclaimed Funds, Doering said. “Sometimes it’s cashier’s checks that [students] never gave to us,” Doering said. “Sometimes it’s
deposits for phones that were never claimed.” The unclaimed funds can range from unclaimed wages and credit balances to any type of outstanding check, according to the ODC Web site. “Most of the stuff is small dollars,” Doering said. Students may write cashier’s checks for tuition or other expenses, but never turn them in. As a result, the money is eventually sent to the ODC, where it stays until someone claims it. The UC treasury does check for unclaimed funds on a regular basis, but with recent budget cuts, the task has become more difficult. As a result, the treasury has fallen behind on claiming such funds. “We’ll get it a little higher on the radar,” Doering said. But even so, the amount is miniscule, compared to the amount of money UC spends daily. “I’ve seen more in check fraud alone,” Doering said of the $50,000. On average, the UC treasury deals with more than $4.2 million per day, Doering said. The money includes student refunds, tuition, housing fees and university paychecks. Last year, UC dispersed more than $125 million in student refunds alone, Doering said. The majority came from student loans, payroll checks and scholarships. The ODC, along with departments from several see MONEY | page 6

The University of Cincinnati Research Center received a 7 percent increase in funding as well as several other grants, programs and partnerships as compared to 2008. UC vice president of research Sandra Degen hosted the presentation Wednesday, Oct. 14, in the Vontz Center’s Rieveschl Auditorium. The expansion of research and mounting support for collaborative activities is a direct result of the increased funds of $380 million in 2009. The most significant increase occurred in the state research funding by 307 percent to $35 million. UC moved up in the rankings to 18th and 23rd positions in terms of federal research expenditure and total research expenditures respectively, according to the National Science Foundation. In 2009, the number of patent applications increased by 49 percent and a total of 7 patents were issued. In addition to patents, UC members completed 113 invention disclosures. The university plans to increase these numbers by at least 15 to 30 percent in the 2011-12 academic year. Degen put an emphasis on increasing the funds and opportunities available for undergraduate research by encouraging faculty members to foster the undergraduates to participate in research. “Students would be groomed to become leading researchers since their potential will be tapped at an early stage of their career,” said Shruti Balvalli, a Ph.D. student in the department of communication science and disorders.

Obama not worthy of Peace Prize
Last Friday, the Norwegian Nobel Committee unexpectedly awarded President Barack Obama with the Nobel Peace Prize, making him the third sitting President to receive such an award. Reaction toward Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize has consisted of shock, confusion, anger, praise and basically every other emotion that involves an up-and-down movement of your eyebrows. “I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century,” Obama said as he accepted the award. He said the award was not based on his accomplishments but what he and others could achieve. But much of the criticism stems from the argument Obama hasn’t yet accomplished his goals, or much of anything else for that matter. Nevertheless, the Nobel Committee said it honored Obama for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” and that “only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future.” If you want to look at things on the surface, then yes, Obama – through the eyes of many people around the world – is an inspiration. It’s agreeable that his tone is better than Bush’s, and he talks about working together with other nations, negotiating and furthering diplomacy. But do rhetorical promises for potential peace deserve a Nobel Peace Prize? While inspiring hope in people is admirable, it doesn’t account to much when the actions don’t match the words. It’s impossible to overlook the fact that we are at war. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue as Obama sends an additional 13,000 troops to Afghanistan on top of the 21,000 announced earlier this year. Add in the further interventions in Pakistan, and the situation looks to quickly become the next front of these wars. And lets not forget that Guantanamo still remains unclosed, in contradiction to what Obama promised during his campaign. Additionally, threatening rhetoric toward other countries who don’t act how we want them also continues. The Nobel Committee’s intentions and motivations behind this award remains debatable, but many people believe it represents a sign that the world is just glad Bush is out of office. “The awarding of the Peace Prize to Obama also functions as a repudiation by the Nobel Committee of the Bush Administration’s unilateral approach to foreign policy and what was perceived by the rest of the world as their arrogant manner of conducting international relations,” said Charles Dainoff, professor of political science at the University of Cincinnati. NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” even agrees that it’s been beneficial for Obama to not be named George W. Bush. “Jimmy Carter won it for decades of trying to find solutions to international conflicts, Al Gore won it for his years of educating the U.S. about climate change, and us? Well, I won it for not being George Bush,” said Fred Armisen as he portrayed President Obama. While Obama being given a “Not Being George W. Bush” award does make sense on the surface, it still glosses over the fact that Obama is continuing most of the policies from the Bush administration and has even expanded upon many. And if this award is indeed a “call to action” as Obama has stated, then there’s plenty to do. Bringing an actual end to the war in Iraq would be a great start. Ending the adventure in Afghanistan would be nice too. Scaling back the worldwide American empire, bringing all U.S. military forces home from the more than 130 countries they’re in and closing the nearly 700 military bases around the globe could also be a great move toward true “peace.” All of this would truly be certain cause for a Nobel Peace Prize. It doesn’t make sense that someone can be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize for the future peace that may or may not come about? That’s a little presumptuous, regardless of what you think of Obama. Awarding empty rhetoric is a meaningless gesture, and just talking about peace and good things to come is not enough to merit an award on being some marvelous peacemaker. Proof needs to be given, and so far, that proof is lacking. Is Obama worthy or did a better candidate get passed up? Let Jeremy know at daj8@mail.uc.edu.

On Sunday, Oct. 11, activists, community organizers and concerned citizens from across America took the long walk past the White House to the U.S. Capitol building with rainbow flags blazing and fists in the air, all in the name of equality. The National Equality March drew an estimated 200,000 people to Washington, D.C., to send a message to policy makers, Americans and the world at large, that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people aren’t going to take it anymore. Equality is on the horizon, almost within arm’s reach. A myriad of LGBT issues was discussed in D.C. – the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy, gay marriage, an inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act and changing attitudes toward LGBT people in general – and a spirit of hope filled the air: Yes we can. Speaking of President Obama’s catchphrase, he became the second president to speak at the Human
Rights Campaign’s annual national dinner on the eve of the march. Former President Clinton spoke as well, but not until he was elected to his second term. And while Obama should be applauded for so publicly affirming his commitment to the LGBT community – especially before he has secured an additional four-year stay at the White House – where were the specifics? “This fight continues now, and I’m here with a simple message: I’m here with you in that fight,” Obama said to an uproar of applause at the HRC national dinner. While that’s all well and good, where’s the plan of action? It seems that Obama is only committed to appeasing the gays with speeches at black-tie dinners. It was a good thing Obama opened for Lady GaGa at the HRC national dinner (he spoke right before she performed), because she seems to be taking more action than him to help the LGBT community. The Lady herself one-upped the leader of the free world by speaking at on the steps of the
Capitol building, an opportunity Obama declined. “I have seen and witnessed so many things over the past two years and I can say with such certainty that this is the single most important moment of my career [being at the march],” said Lady GaGa at the rally following the march. “As a woman in pop music … To do my part, I refuse to accept any misogynistic and homophobic behavior in music lyrics or actions in the music industry.” Lady GaGa even had the gumption to call out her opening act during her speech. “Obama, I know that you’re listening. Are you listening?” screamed Lady GaGa. “We will continue to push you and your administration to bring your words of promise to a reality. We need change now. We demand action now.” The pop star even made the rounds to gay bars prior to the march urging people to get their butts “to D.C. and wear something fabulous.” It seems the gays now have a new first lady.
Or at least one that is willing to step out of the safety of a black tie dinner that creates a clear stratification of LGBT Americans: One must be able to pay the $250 minimum admission fee to get in, clearly leaving a lot of LGBT people out. That’s why the streets of D.C. were filled with drag queens, rainbows, signs and marchers with every identity possible, all with their own individual interests and oppressions: The accessibility made the march beautiful. The march unified the many factions of the LGBT community in a way not seen for sometime. The fight for civil rights was reignited. Celebrities came out in full force to endorse the march. History was made. The National Equality March changed the name of the game for LGBT people: The movement for equality is no longer on the backburner, not when it has zoomed past the White House to break down the door of Congress’ home.

Langsam article arouses concern Dear Editor, In an Oct. 7 investigative piece titled, “Library cleaning regimen not up to par” by Leah Saunders, there are many misleading statements that I wish to remedy. Although the writer does make an accurate description of the libraries cleaning regimen, she in no way parallels the information to that of the Centers for Disease Control Technical Report. The CDC standards for Langsam Library insist on heightened cleaning procedures but do not give a baseline. “[Institutions of higher learning] should tailor the guidance to account for the size, diversity and mobility of their students, faculty and staff; their location and physical facilities; programs; and student and employee health services,” states the report. Disinfectant is available for every patron, but the library cannot mandate use. The suggestion made for sanitizer to be available at every computer is incomprehensible by financial and labor standards.
Langsam has more than 80 computers, and based on the price per bottle, and number of replacements, it would demand thousands of dollars. Patrons and institutions are equally culpable for spread of influenza. The University of Cincinnati has a population of more than 30,000 individuals. Langsam is the epicenter of research and library questions. An unprecedented amount of faculty, students and staff walk through Langsam’s doors on a regular basis. In no way can the library regulate the healthy from the unhealthy and their exchanges within library walls. Based on the CDC recommendations, Langsam has provided disinfectant and implemented cleaning standards to best combat the flu season. The statement made by Debbie Tenofsky saying library maintenance staff consists of all student
Letter to the Editor
workers is indeed a fallacy of the writer. Langsam has a facilities staff separate from student workers, that are in charge of maintaining library-cleaning standards. Student workers are only involved in cleaning computers areas when not in use or by request. Langsam library operates above CDC standards. Any illness is impossible to prevent in public forums, and an institution is not expected to hold sole responsibility if an outbreak occurs. Langsam library has taken every necessary and precautions act in order to prevent students from sharing a communal disease; however, students must also vigilant in their prevention as well. Studying in Langsam tonight, David Timko Fourth-year communication student Timko is an employee of Langsam library; his opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the library – he also uses the space to study when not working.
Okla. abortion law forces more disclosure Abortion, as controversial as it is warrants attention to the subject one more time. Recent Oklahoma legislation is set to take effect Tuesday, Nov.1, that would require women to disclose information on the abortion. Oklahoma’s House Bill, the “Statistical Abortion Reporting Act,” states a woman must disclose the date of the abortion, county in which the abortion was performed, race, education level, total number of previous pregnancies of the mother and marital status, just to name a few. Included in the legislation is the requirement for doctors who perform abortions to release their medical license numbers. On face value, how is this progress? This is a gross devolution of the abortion issue and women’s rights in this country. Why don’t we just tar and feather these women in the village square instead? The stigma associated with women who have abortions is clear and well known. Women who need abortions
don’t want their personal information out there for public view. The collection of data, as required by the Oklahoma bill, clearly compromises a women’s medical confidentiality. Anyone who really wants to find out a woman’s identity, could easily obtain this information, and by process of elimination, find out the woman’s identity. The legislation reads, “By March 1, 2010, the State Department of Health shall make available, on its stable Internet Web site, an Individual Abortion Form as required by Section 5 of this act, and a form for a Complications of Induced Abortion Report as required by Section 6 of this act.” In other words, ‘yeah, you can have an abortion, but when you do so, make sure to fill out this 34-question form revealing pretty much everything about you except for your name and address.” In any case, how does disclosing this information benefit society?

Because women who have abortions are unlikely to report the procedure, gathering this information can in fact aid in tracking who is more likely to get an abortion, said Tamika Odum, program manager at UC’s Women’s Center. “The reality is, women don’t report.” Odum said. “It’s difficult to get women to give information. This information helps gage how women get an abortion and why they choose to do so. I think this is a step forward. There is not really a good history of abortion data; the more data collected, the more we begin to educate the community about abortion issues.” The Centers for Disease Control also collects abortion data, Odum said. Yes, but they also collect information on all types of medical conditions. To put abortion in the same medical class as diseases – considering how sensitive

and controversial the issue is – isn’t right. Mary Clark, Cincinnati campaign leader for 40 Days for Life, confirmed the CDC collects this data in addition to other data. But did question how far a person in would go to find out a woman’s identity, particularly in a small town. “I’ve heard people say that ‘in a small town it would be easy to figure out,’ ” Clark said. “I guess I wonder how often that would happen.” With all due respect to Clark, don’t put anything past anyone especially a person with extreme views, whether it may be pro-life or pro-choice. People go to great lengths to put people’s business out on the street. To disclose any personal, sensitive information is certainly cumbersome. Perhaps the release of this information is a move forward, but it certainly seems to be something reminiscent of a medieval witch hunt.

Punk Rock Grandma film, Reggae Fever hit Cincinnati
Cincinnati has a really good reggae scene. While our humble Ohio is a long shot from the music’s Jamaican birthplace, you can find some fantastic performers who play the traditional ska and reggae riddims with a contemporary take. Music isn’t the only thing these performers are contributing to Cincinnati. Along with playing bass for The Pinstripes, one of Cincinnati’s premier ska/reggae acts, Chris Grannen made a documentary about one of Cincinnati’s favorite music fans: Pat Rice. For those who have never met her, Rice is affectionately known as Punk Rock Grandma. She is a good friend of mine, along with many fellow local music fans. Grannen’s documentary, “A Queen City Girl: The Pat Rice Story” chronicles Rice’s involvement with Cincinnati’s ska/punk scene spanning the last decade — a rare 65-year-old fan among the many teens and young adults who attend most local shows. “A lot of work, a lot of filming was required to make this documentary,” said Grannen, a 2009 electronic media graduate, who made the documentary as a senior project. The documentary, produced made in four months, features interviews that run the gamut from local fans, musicians whose shows Rice frequents, all the way to Mike Breen, music editor for CityBeat (give me a job, dude). The film’s soundtrack is composed entirely of local musicians, faturing “Queen City Girl” by The Guitars. Other contributing artists are The Frankl Project and Elbow Drop, among many others. Surprisingly, there were no Pinstripes songs. The film runs approximately 15 minutes and will be featured alongside six live bands for its first public screening at The Mad Hatter Saturday, Oct. 17. Admission is $5 (most of the proceeds are supposed to go to Rice, in order to cover her transportation costs traveling to and from shows). The bands that are slated to perform are: OddJobb, 20th Century Tokyo Princess, Loudmouth, The Guitars, The Pinstripes and Losanti. For those reggae lovers who can’t make it to Covington, there’s no need to fear. For some soulful groove-infused dancing, make your way to Baba Budan’s Saturday night for Reggae Fever, presented by DJ SKA Boss, aka Stacey Ivey. Ivey is an internationally experienced disc jockey, who has spun her Jamaican records as far as Istanbul, Turkey. “Reggae is more than just Bob Marley,” Ivey said. After five years as a disc jockey, Ivey honed her show’s content to the cream of Jamaican music’s crop. Three years ago shee dedicated her show strictly to vinyl records. Some of the featured artists she plans to spin include Desmond Dekker, Derrick Morgan, Jimmy Cliff, Marcia Griffith along with some Bob Marley, for good measure. Ivey, a 2008 anthropology and women’s studies graduate, had her own radio program on Bearcast for three years, called “DJ SKA Boss’ Ska-coholics Anonymous,” a two-hour show dedicated to playing some of the finest reggae music UC has ever had the chance to hear. She was also a featured artist on UC’s MainStreet last year, where she brought the Jamaican groove full force to campus. Reggae Fever is scheduled to go down 10 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17, at Baba Budan’s. Admission is free and anyone 21 and older can enjoy $1 Pabst Blue Ribbons all night. For more information on “A Queen City Girl,” or Regge Fever, be sure to attend either of the events. A limited number of DVDs will be available at The Mad Hatter, so be sure to get there early. All attendees of Reggae Fever had better be prepared to do some serious dancing, while DJ SKA Boss switches off with DJ King Harold, who spins soul and Motown tracks. Do you love reggae music? Do you know Pat Rice? What interests you about our local music scene that you would like to see on The News Record? E-mail me at slacker.solutions@gmail.com.

Edgar allan poe is generally recognized as being the father of the detective short story.
Edgar Allan Poe has finally been given a proper funeral — 160 years after his death. Poe is recognized as the father of the modern horror story. His works include “The Pit and the Pendulum” and “The Black Cat.” He inspired authors such as Anne Rice and Stephen King and filmmakers such as John Carpenter and Dario Argento. Even Charles Schulz referenced him numerous times in the comic strip “Peanuts.” Poe’s works have been adapted for the big screen many times, most famously as a series of films by director Roger Corman, starring Vincent Price. Despite this indelible influence, Poe’s life was an unhappy one. He
lost his parents in 1811, two years after he was born. In 1827, despite a job as a writer for a Boston paper, he enlisted in the Army in order to support himself. It was during that time that he released his first poetry collection, “Tamerlane and Other Poems.” Two more poetry collections were published by the time he was discharged in 1831. None of these volumes, however, attracted much attention. Afterward, Poe lived in various parts of New England, working mostly as a literary critic for various publications. He also wrote other works, some of which gained critical attention but not much financial success. Poe would later unsuccessfully attempt to make a living off his creative writing alone. His various financial and personal
problems (including his struggles with alcoholism and the death of his wife Virginia Clemm in 1847) eventually led to his death in 1849. Poe died in a Baltimore hospital; he was taken there by a passerby who noticed him walking the street in a delirious state. The cause of Poe’s death has never been determined and he was destitute when he died. His funeral was a simple affair. Very few people attended and the ceremony only lasted three minutes because of the cold, damp weather. Like many artists, Poe began to achieve a great reputation after his death. This eventually prompted the ‘do-over’ funeral on Oct. 10 in Baltimore. Actors portrayed his contemporaries and other deceased artists, like Walt Whitman and Alfred see poe | page 6

Cincinnati Museum Center’s Egypt nick grever the news record
Sitting in the Cincinnati Museum Center’s Omnimax Theater, there is an innate sense of calm that spreads throughout. Perhaps it’s the enormity of the dome above you, or the sharp incline of seats below you. But no matter the origin, Omnimax simply has to be experienced. If you’ve never visited, now is an excellent time to do so. The Cincinnati Museum Center has a new exhibit, Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science. Accompanying the exhibit is an Omnimax film, “Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs.” Both are open until Jan. 3, 2010. The Omnimax film is a great introduction to what you will see in the exhibit. In true Omnimax fashion, historical fact is intermixed with modern day implications and sweeping vistas of the chosen region. In this case, the landscapes of the Egyptian desert provide the backdrop to the study of mummies and the secrets they keep still today. The film does an excellent job of weaving its modern day scientific talk with recreations of past events,
namely the building of Egypt’s myriad pyramids and temples. The film focuses on Rhamses the Great and his accomplishments. The film on a whole is epic, with fantastic and grandiose imagery. Narration by Christopher Lee (Saruman of “Lord of the Rings”) only aids in the grand scale of the film. The Omnimax Theater has gone through a renovation, boasting new speakers, a new screen and a new camera lens. The improvements enhance the unique Omnimax experience. The exhibit, Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science, is equally impressive. The exhibit is cut into two sections. The first provides several interactive set pieces to help visitors understand the job of an archaeologist. Visitors are able to read up on a given subject and then test their hand at it. Varying from rebuilding pots, to loading up a 4x4 with necessary gear, to examining a dig site for clues of its usage, it’s surprisingly engaging.

“Crazy Love,” Bublé’s latest album, pops Robert Behlen the news record
Michael Bublé’s fourth studio effort, “Crazy Love,” has a more organic sound than his previous albums. Bublé’s song choices are varied, including two tracks he wrote. The tracks range from excellent to mediocre, but even the poorest are worth a listen. Michael Bublé is blessed with an excellent band for his recordings. They provide a lush background for Bublé’s voice and he is willing to let them occasionally share the spotlight. “Cry Me a River” is the highlight of the album. The strong brass provides an epic sound, perfectly melding with Bublé’s voice in a passionate interpretation of the classic song. There is no good reason that Bublé should not sing the theme to the next James Bond film. “All Of Me” is a great track as well. It is on par with Frank Sinatra’s rendition. Some of the best tracks of Bublé’s albums are his covers of jazz standards associated with Sinatra and “All Of Me” is no exception. The next track is a cover of the classic song “Georgia on My Mind.” Bublé does a good job, but it isn’t
much different than what other artists have brought to the song. Track four is a cover of Van Morrison’s “Crazy Love.” Bublé’s strong voice makes the track work, but wasn’t enough to make me want to listen again. If one is in the mood for a love song, Bublé has much better songs in his repertoire “Haven’t Met You Yet” is a bouncy, upbeat song penned by Bublé. This was released as the album’s first single Aug. 31. The cadence of the chorus lyrics takes a little getting used to, but sounds better on subsequent listens. “All I Do Is Dream Of You” is unique thanks to its doo-wop feel, but isn’t Bublé’s best work. “Hold On” was also written by Bublé. This is an excellent track which would make a solid second single from the album in the coming months. “Heartache Tonight” is an excellent cover of a classic Eagles tune. Its energy makes you think you are hearing Bublé and his band perform live. Dean Martin’s rendition of “You’re Nobody ‘Til Somebody Loves You” is the most popular version of the see Bublé | page 6

The results of FIA II could lead to improvements in diagnosis, prevention overall screenings. Phase II consists of 3,000 subjects, including 1,200 family members and 1,800 sporadic aneurysm cases. The data collected is compared to controls discovered through the NIH-funded quests, which will attempt to replicate early findings and confirm recent statistics. Current findings include genetic history, cigarette smoking and high blood pressure as as the key risk factors for an aneurysm. Those who have a first-degree relative with a brain aneurysm and smoke or have high blood pressure have a 1-in-20 chance of having an undiagnosed aneurysm. Quitting smoking alone can prevent aneurysms of the brain and the abdominal thoracic region. “We have confirmed that smoking is just as powerful of a risk factor to lung cancer as it is for an aneurysm,” Broderick said. Individuals are usually diagnosed after the age of 35. Women have a heightened chance for aneurysm formation. Those who are tall and
thin are more susceptible, as well, Broderick said. An intracranial aneurysm takes place on the weakened walls of the arteries of the brain and is similar to a blister. A subarachnoid hemorrhage can result from the rupture of an aneurysm. Within the first 30 days, 35 percent of people die of this hemorrhage. The initial bleeding in the brain causes most fatalities, therefore the prevention of aneurysms are key to researchers. Technology has advanced past angiograms as the only testing resource for aneurysms. With MRI technology, MRA’s a brief, noninvasive procedure that scans arteries for blisters. Although an individual might have genetic history of aneurysms, there is no evidence to suspect that the individuals are predestined to sustain from one as well. “Through the study we can empower people and alert them to the risk factors so they can modify their behaviors,” Sauerbeck said.

and actually try the activities, the appreciation of the subject and the work that goes into it multiplies immensely. The second half of the exhibit features real artifacts of ancient Egypt, mostly focusing on the Egyptians’ burial rights. Each piece has a snippet of information, alongside larger, overarching descriptions of the items as a whole. It allows the viewer to get a micro and macro view of the Egyptians and their practices. The exhibit is capped by a mummy nicknamed Annie. The section is split into two pieces, with one side devoted to a hypothetical reaction the Egyptian embalmers had when they were brought an unknown girl who was pulled from the holy Nile River. The other side is the reactions that scientists had when they discovered and studied the same girl’s mummy. It provides a unique point/counterpoint to

These stories help the reader understand that these artifacts aren’t just items behind glass; they held real meaning for the people of ancient Egypt. It helps drive the concepts home. Lost Egypt: Ancient Secrets, Modern Science is an exhibit that’s worth is directly proportional to what is put into it. If you glaze over the beginning and simply observe, visitors may not be too impressed. But if visitors take the time to read the plaques, try the activities and place yourself in the sandals of ancient Egyptians, your appreciation and enjoyment will increase exponentially. The exhibit and Omnimax’s greatest strengths are their abilities to place visitors in the world of ancient Egypt. And it’s a powerful journey indeed.

but Bublé’s interpretation gives it a run for its money. “Baby (You’ve Got What It Takes)” is performed with Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings. It showcases a retro vibe that keeps the song interesting. Jones and Bublé’s voices don’t clash, but they don’t complement each other as much as I had hoped. “At This Moment” is a generic romantic ballad that doesn’t offer anything that can’t be found on other tracks of this album. “Stardust” is performed along with the a capella group Naturally 7.

Bublé “loved [Whatever It Takes] so much that I sneaked it onto the CD as a little bonus for you,” according to the back cover of the CD. But his three previous studio albums have all had 13 tracks, so don’t count this song as a true bonus track. It’s not a bad track, but doesn’t deserve any special mention. Bublé is joined by Ron Sexsmith, but the song may have turned out better had Bublé sung it solo. “Crazy Love” gets a B+ overall, and is definitely worth a purchase.

Jeff Jerome, curator of the Poe House and Museum in Baltimore, explained that 2009, the bicentennial of Poe’s birth, was the perfect time to rectify an injustice. It is indeed an injustice that an artist who gave the world such influential work wasn’t given a proper sendoff the first time around.

Cincinnati fans thinking too far ahead
I think it’s safe to say we’ve all enjoyed the success of the UC football team this season. Truthfully though, we’re getting ahead of ourselves. The Bearcats are 5-0 this year and are a very good football team, but they are nowhere near ready to play for a national title. They still have a chance at playing for the title, but the team will stumble somewhere along the way; it will be against South Florida Thursday night on ESPN. Believe me, I don’t want the Bearcats to lose. I hope they shut down the Bulls. I’d like to go to Pasadena as much as anybody. Even if they did play for the national championship, a team like Florida or Texas would run all over them. I’m not sure UC wants that at this point. They aren’t a good enough team yet and don’t get the recruits necessary to beat the best teams in the country. They are certainly on the right track, but I think UC should be perfectly content with another Orange Bowl appearance. I’m not saying that anyone wouldn’t be content with another trip to Miami either, but UC needs to win a big bowl game before they start thinking about winning national championships. In the Orange Bowl last year, the difference in the caliber of players really showed. This year, quarterback Tony Pike hasn’t played against defensive backs with the skills that the Hokies squad had last year. Once he plays against those types of players again, people will begin to realize that he’s not the quarterback everyone thinks he is. South Florida is a great test for Pike against a Bulls defense that hasn’t given up more than 20 points in a single game all season, including holding Florida State to only seven points. The Bulls have 16 takeaways this season, seven interceptions and nine fumble recoveries. Brian Kelly thinks South Florida’s defensive line can play with anybody in the country, including any SEC or Big Ten team. Not to mention, the Bulls’ B.J. Daniels has stepped in nicely to replace injured quarterback Matt Grothe. Daniels has rushed for 342 yards this season in five games. Even if UC doesn’t lose to South Florida, there are plenty of other opportunities for UC to pull a game like they did against UConn last season. The loss might not be the worst thing for UC though. It may drop them down a peg and realize that they don’t have the Big East wrapped up as easily as they thought they would. So the question remains. Should we want the Bearcats in the national championship against a team that will most likely beat them by 20 points or should we hope for one more Orange Bowl and have a good shot at winning it. Do we want our team to be the one that everyone talks about after the national championship as the team that shouldn’t have been there? Absolutely not. Trust me, we don’t want to have to play Florida. Sure, it would be exciting to play for a title. It would actually be one of the greatest accomplishments for this school. I just don’t think this team is as good as its No. 9 ranking. And if they play like they did against Miami (OH), UC may lose more than just one game. Does anyone really think that UC can hang physically with Texas or Florida? Look at what happened last year against Oklahoma. Even a defense with Connor Barwin, Mike Mickens and DeAngelo Smith was torched for 52 points. This year’s defense is good, but not what they were last year. The bottom line is that UC would be embarrassed in the national championship. They need to play in bowl games they can win until the big time recruits start committing to Cincinnati. UC could beat a team like Virginia Tech this year and gain some respect. So let’s try to win the Orange Bowl once before we start going crazy with the national championship talk. Think UC will beat South Florida? Will the Bearcats make it to the National Championship? E-mail Garrett at sabelhgt@mail.uc.edu

sam elliott the news record
The University of Cincinnati men’s soccer team brought an end to non-conference play Wednesday, Oct. 14, with its first match in school history against the University of Michigan Wolverines. The Bearcats (8-6-0, 3-4-0 Big East) closed out a three-game home-stand in Gettler Stadium on a sour note with a 2-0 loss and are now 1-3 in their last four games. The Wolverines (9-3-1, 1-2-0 Big Ten) came out firing offensively, tallying the game’s first shot in the opening minute of play. Eight minutes into the match, Michigan scored its first goal. Off of a Chase Tennant throw in, freshman midfielder Hamoody Saad gave the Wolverines a 1-0 lead with a head ball goal from close range. “We knew Michigan was an explosive team, a team that has a lot of quality players. I thought this was our worst start of the season. Our guys sleepwalked through the first 20 minutes of the game,” said UC head coach Hylton Dayes. “We got off to a slow start and Michigan took the initiative.” Cincinnati’s offense produced multiple scoring chances, but couldn’t capitalize. Bearcat defender Sam Klosterman nearly tied the game in the ninth minute with a shot from point-blank range after a Mark Konitsch corner kick. Klosterman’s shot went
straight to the hands of Michigan goalkeeper Chris Blais. Kit North had a head ball blocked by Wolverine defender Julian Robles after beating Blais in the 29th minute, and Alex Fernandes had a chip shot go off the crossbar in the 40th. “Tonight the ball just didn’t go in the net for us. We created chances, we had a one-on-one there with [Branden] Stelmak late in the game, and we hit the crossbar,” Dayes said. “Soccer is a game of inches, and tonight the inches worked against us. I thought we got a lot of good quality chances throughout the course of the game.” Cincinnati out shot the Wolverines 25-6 and had a 13-3 corner kick advantage, but landed only seven shots on goal. Michigan took a 2-0 lead in the 40th minute when junior defenseman Jeff Quijano put a shot between Bearcat’s goalie Matthew Williams and the near post after Saad delivered a centering pass from the right side. Cincinnati has four Big East regular season matches remaining before conference tournament play begins. The Bearcats travel to Piscataway, N.J., to face the Rutgers Scarlet Knights Saturday, Oct. 17. “Rutgers is a solid team. We want to get back on track,” Dayes said. “I think from our team’s standpoint, it’s almost like one-game seasons. Our mentality has to be to play every game like it’s our last.”

Brian kelly talks to his team on the sideline during the University of Cincinnati’s 28-20 home win over Fresno State University Saturday, Sept. 26, at Nippert Stadium.
The University of Cincinnati football team returns to Big East play in a top-25 match-up against undefeated No. 21 South Florida. The Bearcats (5-0, 1-0 Big East) have beat the Bulls three-straight years including a 24-10 home win last season. Senior UC quarterback Tony Pike was playing with a soft cast on his surgically repaired left forearm, but still managed to throw for 281 yards and two touchdowns. Last season, the Bulls ranked 25th in the nation in scoring defense allowing 20 points per game, but this season South Florida’s defense is statistically even better. The Bulls (5-0, 1-0) come into the game ranked fifth in the country in scoring defense and 10th in total yards, surrendering 263 yards per game. “They’re athletic with outstanding pass rushers, but they’re very solid inside as well. Their front four is as good as you’re going to see in a top-25 opponent,” said UC head coach Brian Kelly. “They can match up with any SEC or Big Ten team.” South Florida’s stand out defender is senior safety Nate Allen. Allen leads the Bulls with 29 tackles, three pass breakups and two interceptions. “Nate Allen is an excellent player. [He’s a] hard-hitting fast guy. He’s probably one of the best safeties we will face all year,” said UC wide receiver Mardy Gilyard. “The kid’s good and he covers well, he tackles well and he brings the wood.” On defense, the Bearcats will face the 17th-ranked scoring offense in the country. The Bulls are averaging 37 points per game. South Florida is led by red-shirt freshman quarterback B.J. Daniels, who has started the last two games since Matt Grothe sustained a season-ending knee injury. In his first start, Daniels led USF to a 17-7 upset over then No. 18 Florida State. Cincinnati’s offense is ranked second best in the nation averaging 42 points per game. The Bearcats are putting points on the board quickly, but that leads to the defense remaining on the field for long periods of time. Bearcat opponents have held the ball for more than 36 minutes per game, which leads the country. “Maybe the accountability needs to be on the offense. Maybe the offense needs to keep the defense off the field and lessen those snaps,” Kelly said. “We want to score quickly, but we also have to be cognizant of the fact that playing 86 to 87 plays on defense is probably not the best thing.” The game is scheduled to be nationally televised on ESPN and kicks off at 7:45 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 15, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla.
UC takes 3rd in Bearcat Invitational jordan staugler the news record
The University of Cincinnati men’s golf team finished in third place after a slow start at the Bearcat Invitational, held at Traditions Golf Club, Oct. 12 and Oct. 13. The Bearcats finished with a score of 218, four strokes behind Ball State and eight behind first place Miami (OH). Seventeen teams competed in the event. “Overall I think the tournament was a success,” said UC head coach Doug Martin. “Any time you finish in the top five you have to feel relatively good with your teams’ performance, and I feel very good about what we accomplished.” Junior Joe Kastelic led the Bearcats, shooting a three-round total of 218, good enough for third place individually in the invitational. “I was very happy to see Joe shot a 70 in the last round,” Martin said. “It was his best finish of the year and more of what I expect of Joe.” Kastelic was only one stroke away from second-place
“We are fighting for respect, and I am very pleased with what the kids are doing right now.” —doug martin, UC men’s golf head coach finisher Eric Steger of Ball State, while Nathan Sutherland of Miami (OH) took first place shooting a 210 in three rounds. The Bearcats had a rough first day with a below average performance, but recovered nicely with a much better second day. “We are very young,” Martin said. “Right now I have one junior and four freshman in the lineup, and anytime you’re playing freshman at the Division I level your going to have ups and downs.” Freshman Zach Bates held his own tying for 15th with rounds of 78-71-75 for a 224, while freshman David Tepe was three strokes behind in a tie for 25th, recording scores of 78-7673 for a 227. “David and Zach continued to be very good players for our team,” Martin said. “They aren’t playing like freshmen, they’ve really
taken this team on their back and played very good in their first four college golf tournaments.” Freshman Matt Ledom tied a personal best in the first-round of the Invitational shooting a 74 on the par 72 course. Ledom finished tied for 51st place with rounds of 74-76-82 for a 232. The Bearcats are having their ups and their downs and much of that might be because of their youth, but Martin is not concerned about the future. “I think we are coming together as a team,” Martin said. “We all have a similar mission, we are fighting for respect, and I am very pleased with what the kids are doing right now.” The Bearcats have several weeks off before playing at The Match Play tournament in Southern Pines, N.C., Oct. 30 to Nov. 1.
