UC pays tribute to service members SAM MORREN | STAFF REPORTER

As University of Cincinnati students looked forward to a three-day weekend, the university honored the veteran and active duty military men and women who have served domestically and abroad that give the holiday it’s name.

UC and UC Reserve Officer Training Center (ROTC) came together to honor the military service of UC students, faculty and staff last Thursday, on McMicken commons.

Before the ceremony began, the Bearcat Band, directed by Dr. Terren L. Frenz, welcomed the participants with music from every military conflict the U.S. has been involved since the revolutionary war.

The Master of Ceremonies — Michael Livingston vice president of Student Affairs, Chief Diversity Officer and professor of Educational Studies at UC — began the ceremony with the “Star Spangled Banner.”

Service members and civilians saluted the American FILE ART | THE NEWS RECORD that was presented by the UC Air Force and Army UC PAYS TRIBUTE The University of Cincinnati Reserve Officer Training ROTC color guard cadets.

While some active duty members were ordered to center presented the flag of the United States as well as of the ROTC and do so, some veterans also volunteered to wear their U.S. Army to honor Veterans’ Day, Thursday. military uniform in remembrance of their call of duty.

“As the many that were called, I was called, and I went,” said Ronald Rudler a Korean War veteran.

The UC ROTC also recognized the service of several of their cadets including the Air Force cadet Terrence S. Ashton, who served in Japan and Army cadet Courtney M. Gullespie who served in the Operation Enduring Freedom in Iraq.

“The reason I wanted to continue serving is my skills as a leader might be better utilized as an officer in the U. S. Army” Gullespie said.

The veterans’ ceremony’s keynote speaker was Col. Stephen W. Higgins from the 88th Medical Group of the 88th Air Base Wing, Aeronautical System Center, Air Force Material Command, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Fairborn Ohio.

“We are here to celebrate in a day of honor to honor our own veterans and for their service, dedication and patriotism,” in his address to the veterans Col. Higgins said.

As the ceremony came to a conclusion — in military fashion — “Taps” was played, by buglers Joe Moody and Andrew Sharf, to remember the fallen service members who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

The University of Cincinnati got a helping hand from the state, as Ohio purchased a new building for the university.

The State of Ohio acquired a $3.5 million industrial facility for UC to accommodate a relocation of the campus service building.

The 210,000-square-foot building — located a few miles north from UC’s main campus at 5121 Fishwick Drive, in St. Bernard — will be used for storage of records, furniture, old computers and other various purposes.

UC’s current campus service building office — at 2900 Reading Rd. — is in a state of disrepair, leaving UC no choice but to replace the facility, said Mary Beth McGrew, associate vice president of UC’s planning, design, construction and architecture.

“The current campus service building is in a terrible situation; parts of the sidewalks are closed and walls are in need of repair,” McGrew said.

The state is normally not enthusiastic about purchasing facilities for universities, but UC made a great case, said McGrew.

“We showed the state how it would be a good investment and it would get rid of some of our current leases,” McGrew said.

“The new facility will save money long-term and pay for itself over time with the elimination of leases.”

The facility should pay for itself within six years, McGrew said.

“The industrial facility is not necessarily pretty, but it is functional and utilitarian,” McGrew said. “The University wanted this facility because in the long run it was going to save the university money.”

The new facility will have easy access, be close to the university and serve various purposes inside, McGrew said.

“Almost no remodeling will be required, maybe a couple thousand [dollars] in small SEE BUILDING | 5 INSIDE

ANTHONY OROZCO AND ARIEL CHEUNG | THE NEWS RECORD Smoke poured out of Jerusalem Restaurant Sunday after an apparent explosion just before 9 p.m.

“We were all standing outside smoking, and the next thing we hear, there was this boom,” said TJ Crank, 24, who was in front of the neighboring Baba Budan’s at the time of the incident. “The whole front of Jerusalem was gone.”

Witnesses at the scene said an unidentified man walked out of the building, located at 235 W. McMillan St., shortly after the explosion.

“After a second, this guy stumbles out, glass in the back of his head, blood pouring down,” Crank said. “And a pickup truck comes out of nowhere — a black one — and he just gets in.”

The man was older, heavyset and dark-skinned, Crank said.

Brandon Abell, 34, of Lexington, Ky., was also at the scene.

“A bald guy — I would say Greek, maybe — walked out after the explosion,” Abell said. “We asked him if he was OK, and he just kept walking.

As soon as the windows blew down, a truck pulled up and picked the guy up.”

The pickup truck was possibly a black Toyota Tundra, Abell said. After the truck drove away, Abell checked the restaurant for other people, but didn’t see anyone, he said.

Multiple fire trucks blocked off the restaurant from West Clifton Avenue to Rohs Street and from McMillan Street to Calhoun Street. Police vehicles were also present on the scene.

At 9:45 p.m., the Cincinnati Fire Department Hazardous Device Unit arrived on scene, and pedestrians were ordered to move a block away from the restaurant.

Jerusalem Café had been closed for

approximately a week for remodeling, said building owner Ray Ritchie.

“I don’t think anyone got hurt, which, for me, is critical,” Ritchie said. “I’m hoping it was just an accident. I want to find out what happened; we’re trying to piece it all together.”

Ritchie arrived on the scene after an employee who lived near the restaurant called around to let him know there had been an accident, he said.

Ritchie himself doesn’t own Jerusalem Restaurant, and said the owner was trying to sell it.

“There was one guy trying to buy it, and one selling, but it was all pretty up in the air,”Ritchie said.

As of press time, Lt. Joe Milek said an unidentified injured person was taken to an area hospital.

EXPLOSION SHAKES

As cold season rolls round, students can be assured in a recent grant awarded to the University of Cincinnati for research in pneumonia.

The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases awarded the grant — which totals more than $544,000 — to researchers in UC’s College of Medicine and the James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy.

The grant allows researchers to collaborate with the Cincinnati Department of Veteran Affairs Medical Center in studying new therapies for a strain of pneumonia triggered by the fungus Pneumocystis.

This particular strain is among the leading causes of death among patients with HIV and those receiving treatment for cancer and organ transplants — which weaken the immune system.

The research will focus on discovering not only certain compounds, which could be used to effectively treat the pneumonia, but also in determining the correct dosage of medication.

“Pneumocystis colonization, or infection without symptoms, of the respiratory tract of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has recently been shown to be associated with worsening lung function,” said Dr. Peter Walzer, associate chief of staff for research at the Cincinnati VA Medical Center. “Thus, new treatments for Pneumocystis pneumonia may have broader application to patients with chronic lung disorders.”

The research will examine certain compounds for treatment and study their effects in animals, due to some of the medication being new and not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration, said Melanie Cushion, a research microbiologist with the Cincinnati VA Medical Center and one of the researchers on the study.

“This is an important collaboration that could lead to discoveries and possibly cures for an illness that has been attributed to morbidities for over 30 years,” Cushion said.

The grant allows the research — a continuation of previous research by Walzer on the subject — to be funded for the next year.

CALL TO ACTION

JAYNA BARKER

Extra Life given to gamers I found an unusual but feel-good opportunity recently that manifested itself in something most of my guy friends would find appealing: video games.

I am actually starting to think video games could be good for the male population, despite the yelling, swearing and grunts that come with watching my brothers play Call of Duty for hours on end.

Extra Life, an annual 24-hour video game-playing marathon, raises money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

The marathon started in honor of 15-year-old Victoria (Tori) Enmon, who struggled with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Members of Tori’s Orange, Texas, neighborhood and the Sarcastic Gamer Community bought Tori gifts and sent her video games to keep her busy and happy during her hospital stays.

When Tori lost her battle to leukemia in 2008, the Sarcastic Gamer Community and their partners rallied for a charity project that would raise money for the hospital that treated Tori.

In its first two years, Extra Life raised a total of $302,000 — all of which was sent directly to aid patients just like Tori who struggled with the debilitating disease.

So, how does it work?

It’s simple: play games on your Xbox 360, Playstation 3 or computer. Facebook and cell phone games count, too.

You’ll need to register and create your own fundraising page before anything else.

You choose which Children’s Miracle Network Hospital receives your sponsors’ donations, and then you actually find sponsors.

Ask family members and your friends to advocate for you at $1 every hour.

At the very minimum, you’ll be raising $24 per sponsor for the duration of the marathon. All participants who raise more than $200 receive a free T-shirt in the mail.

If you don’t want to play alone (And let’s be honest … you don’t), gather a group of friends together and create an Extra Life team.

The last step is to get comfortable, because you’re going to be playing video games for 24 straight hours to raise money for a struggling child in need.

Although Extra Life takes place in October every year, not everyone can come together for one day. But you can make a 24-hour commitment during any of the other 364 days of the year, too.

Donations can be made online by credit card on each participant’s fundraising page or collected individually by participants for cash and check donations.

If you’re not interested in playing video games for a straight 24 hours, there is the option to just sponsor someone else participating in the marathon or by making a general donation to Extra Life.

Preparing to play video games for 24 hours is probably the most important part of the marathon, so make sure to get plenty of rest beforehand. Take breaks when needed, and drink plenty of fluids. They don’t call it a marathon for nothing.

This year, Extra Life garnered support from thousands of gamers, donors and websites and raised more than $1.1 million dollars help support patients just like Tori.

My point is this: You don’t always have to break a sweat to help someone else. Be a hero and go play some video games for a good cause.

Did you participate in Extra Life this year? What (or who) inspired you? Or, if you know of a different nonprofit organization you’d like Jayna to check out, email her at jayna.barker@gmail.com.

COLLEGE LIVING Tweetographers take to Twitter KARA DRISCOLL | SENIOR REPORTER

“What’s happening?”

It’s asked most frequently by curious individuals yearning to secure plans for the night or know just exactly where everyone is.

It’s the question that Alex Padgett and Billy Clifton aim to answer with their innovative social media tool, “The Tweetographer.”

The app organizes information gained from Twitter to tell people where and when events are happening on a broad spectrum.

“Public conversation can be used to figure out a general consensus,” Clifton said.

The fourth-year computer science students developed the prototype over the duration of six months for their senior design demonstration.

Originally, it was conceived as merely a proof of concept but skyrocketed from there, Clifton said.

“Once we began to work with the data, we recognized its natural potential to be sorted, organized and analyzed,” Clifton said.

Currently, the web application is still raw and basic,” Padgett said. “Nothing visual to look at — it displays a map and calendar on a bland web page.”

“We plan on dressing it up and putting some features on it, and putting the full project out on the web for free,” Clifton said.

COURTESY OF MCT CAMPUS

Yet the possibilities to make it a full-fledged project are endless, and according to the two tweetographers, and people are excited.

After presenting at Tangeman University Center for their senior design fair, they were asked to present to the Institute of Electronic Engineers.

From there, a whirlwind of tweets and blog posts spread the word about the visionary web application.

Occupy Wall Street representatives were interested in utilizing the tool for their movement and the information has been shared as far as India and Pakistan.

“We did a few demonstrations and it caught fire and people loved it, so people asked us to keep working on it, and that’s what we’re going to do,” Clifton said.

Their journey to a solid prototype wasn’t always an easy ride. There were a few problems connecting with the Twitter network immediately and other issues arose, Padgett said.

“We encountered issues with collecting and processing the quantity of data fast enough and handling natural language processing problems,” Clifton said.

With the typical glitches and spam issues, Padgett and Clifton simply focused their attention on one issue at a time to ensure that each problem was fully resolved.

“We haven’t come across any glitches that we haven’t been able to resolve,” Padgett said.

Padgett and Clifton hope to have a working application out to the public by the year’s end. The updated prototype will hopefully allow users to find events on a smaller scale — even as small as the community of the University of Cincinnati.

“There’s no reason it can’t be scaled down to the size of a campus like UC. This would be a great way to inform students about welcome week events or even campus safety alerts,” Clifton said.

They envision an app that isn’t just for trivial use, but also for safety and awareness.

“If someone tweets that they just got robbed on Jefferson, the Tweetographer would pick that up and inform others about it instantly,” Clifton said.

Their ideas are vast and this is just the start for the Tweetographer.

Graduating this year, both students look forward to encompassing their project into life after college. His future path will depend on the success of the application. If it blows up, he’ll keep working with the Tweetographer, Padgett said.

“After graduation, I’m thinking about graduate school but wouldn’t pass up the chance to continue work in social media research,” Clifton said.

Three Bearcats nationally recognized for volunteering KARA DRISCOLL | SENIOR REPORTER University of Cincinnati students Laura Schlater, Emily Zerhusen and Erica Broadway are among the national elite of college-aged individuals looking to transform the country through service and community involvement.

On Oct. 6, the first National Student Day launched a movement of celebration and promotion of social responsibility on a total of 561 college campuses in North America.

Although more than 275 students submitted reflective essays for National Student Day, all three UC students placed in the top 10 — receiving an iPad 2 as a prize. Essays detailed the impact that service had on students.

While Laura Schlater often views her surroundings through the lens of her camera, it’s obvious she sees the world differently than

others. Her essay, which won fourth place, gave a telling description of her nonprofit organization, Missionphotography, and how it brought her to Haiti.

Missionphotography provides services of photography, free of cost.

Instead of charging a fee, Schlater asks her clients for donations to fund mission trips or charities of her preference. Missionphotography is her only source of being able to help, Schlater said.

“Service is a passion, mission trips are a dream and Missionphotography has made it all realistic and alive,” she said.

Missionphotography was born in the late summer months of 2010, just as Schlater was to begin college. Since then, she’s been capturing the milestones of the lives of local people in her community.

“Every picture tells a story,” Schlater said. “The best photos are the ones that don’t need that

story explained.”

From engagements and senior portraits to infants and wedding albums, Schlater’s portfolio is growing at an extreme rate.

With each snap of her camera, she nears closer to the next time she can journey to Haiti. The impact of her first trip to the devastated country cannot be expressed adequately Schlater said.

“It’s my driving force. I need to get back to Haiti and I need to do more,” she said. I’m striving to go back to the place where I left my heart.”

Traveling to Haiti isn’t her only goal for the future. Her upcoming endeavors include being accepted into graduate school, joining the peace corps and acquiring a solid job.

Studying in International Social Work with a minor in Photojournalism, Schlater is open to the possibility of working with international adoptions, aide, relief and even perhaps the rehabilitation of child soldiers.

“I want to advocate for peopleto tell their story and to help them in the ways in which they need help,” she said. “Not only do I want to start a movement, but I want to finish one.”

A day dedicated to celebrating and promoting social responsibility by students across North America.

An annual event where colleges across the continent recognize students’ good deeds.

As for being recognized for Missionphotography, Schlater was not only gratified by the attention but saw it more as an outlet for awareness.

“The best part about the award is that it spreads word of my work and my project to others.

Hopefully, it will inspire others to go out and pursue their dreams,” Schlater said.

Like Schlater, Emily Zerhusen also found passion internationally while serving in Jamaica.

Continuing to move “Beyond Coal” AMANDA MORGAN | TNR CONTRIBUTOR

Continuing to move beyond coal and toward a more environmentally friendly campus remains on the minds of students and faculty alike at the University of Cincinnati.

Thursday’s UC Beyond Coal meeting was evidence of this. More than 60 students and professors gathered to show support for the campaign.

“Most of our events have been focused on visibility so far,”said second-year environmental studies student Kayla McKinney. “It was great to have an educational event to inform students about the feasibility of moving beyond coal here on campus.”

Panelists included Eric Maurer, an environmental studies professor.

Maurer discussed the effects of mountain top removal (MTR) coal mining, a resource extraction process that causes permanent and irreversible damage to the mountain environments of Appalachia, he said.

Thus far, 501 mountains have fallen victim to MTR, destroying headwater resources and all but eliminating the delicate environments that thrive in the mountain streams, Maurer said.

Finance director of Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance Alfred Gaspari also spoke during the Nov. 10 Beyond Coal meeting.

Gaspari explained the importance of energy efficiency. The nonprofit organization provides cash incentives as well as energy audits for homeowners looking to reduce their

carbon footprints and save money on their energy costs.

Greater Cincinnati Energy Alliance is already working with Xavier University to cut their energy use 20 percent by 2020.

Gaspari offered specific advice on how to reduce energy usage.

“Get the buildings around campus weatherized — that’s the first step,” Gaspari said. “We want to give UC money to make these investments.”

David Wendell, a professor of bioengineering and biomedical engineering, closed the panel by discussing of clean-energy alternatives.

Wendell suggested that the campaign critically evaluate what those sources are and how they could work best at UC. Wendell recommends a combination of geo-thermal and photovoltaics, a route that many universities in Ohio are also exploring.

There are still government subsidies available for photovoltaics, he said.

After the panel, students discussed the Green-revolving Loan Fund with the panelists.

The fund could allow the university to fund energy efficiency or renewable energy projects using their annual operating budget, which would reducing operating costs in theory, according to UC Beyond Coal supporters.

“Energy efficiency measures alone could reduce the need for the campus coal plant,” said fourth-year environmental studies and biology student Brian Kunkelmoeller. “Beyond that we need to look at alternatives.”

SPRAGUE’S

SPORTS

SCRIBBLES JAMES SPRAGUE

Misplaced focus in scandal First and foremost, my heart goes out to the victims in the alleged sexual abuse scandal that has come to light at Penn State University.

If the allegations against former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky prove true, it saddens me to know the victims’ trust was violated, their innocence shattered and their lives irrevocably altered due to the sadistic actions of someone they once believed in.

The victims are the ones who have lost — and stand to lose — the most. We seem to forget that prominent aspect of this case. It is not about Joe Paterno being fired as head coach, which he deserved.

Nor is it about the former administrators who have resigned or been fired for the cover-up and are now facing perjury charges.

It is about eight victims who were innocent children and how they were — if the charges are found to be true — sickeningly abused by a man who had taken advantage of their trust.

That is where the focus should be in this horrifying situation. Yet media, Penn State fans and the rest of us spectators to this perverse melodrama have taken a different approach.

We’ve pondered whether Paterno deserved to be fired over the phone. We’ve pondered, as some local radio hosts did last week, if the Penn State football program deserved the death penalty.

We’ve broken down a list of the donors to Sandusky’s Second Mile program and made sure to point out the prominent names, such as former NFL players.

We’ve watched Penn State students in State College, Penn., riot and not because of their anger that a former coach might have sexually assaulted multiply children, but because a football coach was justly fired.

Yet, we’ve almost completely ignored the alleged sex offender — Sandusky — and offered just a passing glance to the victims and what they have, and still, endure due to the situation.

We’ve questioned the morals of all those involved in the situation, including Sandusky, Paterno, Mike McQueary, former Penn State administrator Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley.

We fail to question ours when we’ve taken the victims, and placed them on a back burner.

What that illustrates is our society’s inclination to place sports atop the hierarchy of things in this world that are truly important, and at times, for those in the sporting world to perform illegal acts to retain the power, prestige and money that we’ve allowed sports to yield.

The situation at Penn State is a crystalline example of such skewed morals and priorities.

Administrators, given information about a possible child sex offender in their midst, failed to investigate it.

A janitor in 2000, who allegedly witnessed Sandusky performing oral sex on one victim in the showers, failed to report it to law enforcement.

McQueary, a graduate assistant, allegedly witnessed Sandusky engaging in anal sex with another victim in the showers in 2002 and failed to report it to law enforcement.

Paterno and administrators failed to investigate it after McQueary reported it.

This all proving that the welfare of a football program was more important than the welfare of a child — eight of them, though possibly more, in this case.

I would be inclined to think a normal human being would call police in witnessing the rape of a child, but obviously, I’m wrong.

This is the bizarro world of sports we are talking about here: The one where we pay men and women millions of dollars to play a game; the one where we build palaces to house those games right next to homeless encampments, and the one where some players make more than the gross national product of SEE SCANDAL | 5

Bearcats cruise in season opener WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

SAM WEINBERG | SPORTS EDITOR

In their season opener, the Bearcats’ women’s basketball team defeated Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne 74-42 Friday at Fifth Third Arena.

Senior guard Chisholm led the Bearcats, finishing the game eight-of-nine from field, netting a team-high 19 points, while also grabbing a game-high 13 rebounds for her first career double-double.

Cincinnati guard Dayeesha Hollins and true freshman guard Alyesha Lovett also played strong games, netting 17 and 14 points, respectively.

“One of the things we talked about [going into the game] was other guys stepping up, not stepping up and putting too much pressure on yourself that you felt that you needed to do something that is out of your character or out of your ability,” said UC head coach Jamelle Elliott.

The Lady Cats finished the game with 10 players contributing points — four scoring in the double digits — while dropping 53.6 percent of their shots from the court and 45.5 percent of their 3-point shots.

Cincinnati also outrebounded IPFW 51-42, but had trouble controlling the ball at times, committing 22 total turnovers.

“I think a lot of [the turnovers] came down the stretch,” Elliott said. “The last

seven or eight minutes of the game where we subbed a little bit and we had some guys handling the ball that don’t have a whole lot of experience doing that.”

The Bearcats jumped to a quick 9-0 start — seven of the nine points coming from Chisholm — and just seven minutes into the first half Cincinnati commanded a dominating 19-3 lead.

“Previous to the game I just knew that I needed to focus on making shots and finishing under the basket,” UC 74 Chisholm said. “That was IPFW 42 the goal for myself, and I tried my best to achieve it.”

Following the Bearcats’ quick start, Cincinnati continued their domination and entered halftime leading IPFW 43-19 and didn’t let up in the second half as they cruised to an easy 32-point victory.

The Bearcats played every player on their roster, and IPFW’s 42 points were the fewest scored against Cincinnati since Nov. 14, 2010, in Cincinnati’s 61-42 victory against North Florida University.

“I think we were pretty excited to see that everybody came in tonight and contributed, especially since Jeanise Randolph is out,” Chisholm said.

Cincinnati returns to action at 7 p.m. Wednesday to play Dayton in Fifth Third Arena.

The University of Cincinnati football team not only lost its first Big East game of the season, but it also lost senior quarterback Zach Collaros in front of what was the largest crowd in UC conference history — 48,152 — when defeated by the West Virginia University Mountaineers 24-21 at Paul Brown Stadium Saturday.

The Bearcats started the day with an impressive defensive stand, followed by a three-play drive that was capped by a 40yard rushing touchdown from senior running back Isaiah Pead.

The Mountaineers answered, though, with a quick drive of their own, which ended with a 59-yard touchdown pass from Geno Smith to Stedman Bailey, tying the game at 7-7.

On UC’s next possession, freshman kicker Tony Miliano made his way onto the field in hopes of tacking on three more points to the Bearcats’ score.

However, with an offside penalty on WVU prior to the kick, the offense marched back onto the field for a fourth and goal situation.

The Cats couldn’t convert, and the Mountaineers took over on their own one-yard line; and they didn’t make it any

further than that, turning it over on downs with just over eight minutes remaining in the first quarter.

Their next possession produced results, however, and the UC 21 Mountaineers took their WVU 24 first lead with a field goal, pulling ahead to make the score 10-7.

Then the Bearcats faced the unthinkable, including a sack in the end zone, a fumble recovered for a WVU touchdown and the loss of veteran quarterback Zach Collaros for the rest of the regular season — all of which added up to create a 10-point deficit for the Cats midway through the second quarter.

Sophomore quarterback Munchie Legaux came in with 8:11 remaining in the half. He had a shaky start, throwing an interception on his third play.

Finan places second in Toledo CROSS COUNTRY

National championship meet awaits Big East’s-best LANCE LAMBERT | SENIOR REPORTER A close second-place finish at the NCAA Great Lakes Region men’s cross country meet Saturday qualifies University of Cincinnati senior Eric Finan for the NCAA men’s cross country national championship meet.

Finan will race in the NCAA cross country championship Nov. 21 in Terre Haute, Ind. Battling schools from Ohio, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin, the Bearcats’ men’s team finished 11th place with 325 points.

Finan ran the 10,000-meter course in 30:08.8, but was edged out by top-finisher Callum Hawkins of Butler, who posted a time of 30:01.5 at the regional meet hosted by the University of Toledo.

Finan said he opted not to pursue Hawkins after being passed late in the race to try and save his body physically and mentally for nationals.

“Butler’s runner passed me late in the race, and I choose to cool down my jets and cruse in,” Finan PHOTO PROVIDED BY ERIC FINAN

RUNNING TO NATIONALS Cincinnati senior and the Big East’s No. 1 runner Eric Finan will race in the NCAA men’s cross country national championship meet Nov. 21, following his second-place finish in the Great Lakes Region men’s meet Saturday.

said. “The idea was to qualify for nationals as easy as possible so I’m fresh for next week.”

Finan won the regional race the previous year but did not live up to expectations with a 60th place finish at nationals, which influenced Finan’s decision to focus his efforts on nationals this season.

“I expect much better than last year — hopefully a top 20 or 30 finish at nationals,” Finan said.

Finan — this year’s Big East cross country champion — has won five of the seven meets this year and has only been beaten by three individuals.

An all-American in track, Finan will need to place in the top-40 at nationals to achieve the same status for cross country.

“Finan’s fourth-place cross country and second-place 3,200 meter state finishes in high school did not indicate he would run this well at this level,” said UC head coach Bill Schnier. “He is enormously dedicated to running and training.”

Wisconsin men’s team — the No.1 ranked team by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association — won the meet with 50 points. The Badgers finished with five runners in the top-12, but none in front of Finan.

UC’s women’s team was led by Alison Zubowski, who posted a time of 21:59.2 on the 6,000-meter course — leading her team to a 19th place finish out of the 33 fielded teams.

4 ENTERTAINMENT Tour navigates Cincy’s secret past Monday

Nov. 14 | 2011

NEWSRECORD.ORG

marisa whitaker | staff reporter Over-the-Rhine was a booming place from 1870 until 1920.

German settlers came to the area around Vine Street and brought beer with them. More than 136 saloons lined Vine Street, and the only way to get there was to cross the canal at Central Parkway, then known as “The Rhine.” As prohibition set in and laws against brewing and consuming beer became more inhibiting, the locals built tunnels to smuggle beer from place to place.

Prohibition eventually plagued the town so severely that the Germans split, leaving

their tunnels and secrets behind. Historians are only just now discovering them again and have found several underneath the streets of Over-the-Rhine.

This knowledge is all thanks to the Queen City Underground tour at the Cincy Haus. Tour guides will take spectators to these historic places to tell their stories and hopefully spark some interest in OTR as a historic district.

The media was given a preview tour of the sights on Vine Street Nov. 8. A very knowledgeable and well-spoken tour guide led a group of reporters down and up the street, detailing the time period and depicting an era of drunken German

splendor. Over the course of two hours, spectators learned about various buildings and their significance, even venturing down into one of these famous tunnels.

A tour of the St. Francis Seraph Catholic Church was also a part of the agenda, and Brother Tim spoke of the church’s history with OTR. The tour begins at the intersection of 13th and Vine, what used to be the “Times Square” of the town. At all the plays, concerts and other entertainment in OTR, the Germans always found a way to drink.

BLOW YOU AWAY Zach Condon expertly alternates between singing and playing trumpet during Beirut’s set at Bogart’s Friday, Nov. 11. The band’s front man, who also plays the ukulele, helped captivate the audience with a complex air of musical nostalgia that created a dreamlike atmosphere for the tightly packed crowd.

Beirut delivers one-of-a-kind live concert for local fans Friday gin a. ando | senior reporter

S

ince the release of 2006’s “Gulag Orkestar,” the band Beirut has taught me one thing: Regardless of what happens in your life, a heavy dose of accordion, horns, ukulele and a voice that can only be compared to heated honey will force you to look on the bright side.

Friday, I’m sure, marked a turning point in many people’s lives. Thanks to Zach Condon and Co., hundreds of people now know what a band should sound like live.

Simply put, Beirut is a band that must be seen in person.

Complexly put, despite a sold-out crowd and being in constant threat of having my personal space invaded and invading others’ personal space myself, Beirut has a quality that allowed every person on that cramped Bogart’s floor to transcend the space and, quite honestly time.

Beirut’s sound is antiquated in a way that stirs a

nostalgia for a time and place that none of us have been to. Maybe a place that only Condon knows of and we all desperately wish to see even through a thick, dusty pane of glass miles away.

I had been waiting for five long, horrible (not too horrible) years to see this band play live. I was foolishly skeptical that the members would be able to effectively layer their instruments live. I was wrong. The most wrong a person can be, actually.

If I believed in miracles, I’d say Friday night was one.

A dream playlist by a dreamy — yeah, dreamy — band played to an entire room of people who shared the same sentiment. “Postcards from Italy,” “Nantes,” “Elephant Gun,”“Scenic World,”“The Gulag Orkestar.” Come on.

Beirut has a sound that fills a room in an intentionally eventual way. Through waves that echo and bounce off walls until the catch releases and you realize the song is over. You could spend days upon days listening to one

album and pay attention to one instrument or specific harmony and hear something different each time. When there are hundreds of people singing the same words you are and your consciousness is affixed to nothing but the sound, it’s religious. It really is.

If there were a faith called Hearing Beirut Play Live, I’d be a radical extremist. We could sing “Vagabond” to start off our service.

The only real thing that disappointed me about that concert is that I won’t be able to experience it again.

Those hours weren’t anywhere near sufficient to analyze the sounds the way they need to be to fully appreciate the complexity of Beirut’s music.

So it goes without saying: If you weren’t fortunate enough to see them at Bogart’s, make it a point to see them live. That band will make you cry, laugh, smile, rejoice, throw your hands up and beg for salvation.

RACING THE CLOCK Justin Timberlake plays Will Salas, a justice-seeker in the futuristic new film, “In Time.”

The premise of “In Time” is simple yet complicated — the currency of the future is time. That’s right, minutes and seconds determine your wealth and, as it turns out, whether you live to see another day.

However, once you reach 25, you never age physically beyond that. This means that Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) can have a mom played by Olivia Wilde (13 from House) and it works. Unfortunately, after turning 25, the clock starts and you only have one year to live.

Each day, the poor of the world run to work because they can’t afford to waste a single second while the wealthy eat, walk and drive as slow as possible because they have all the time in the world.

Time can be added to that one year by working, borrowing at 35 percent interest, trading or stealing. The plot begins to take shape when wealthy, New Greenwich resident, Henry Hamilton, gives Salas more

than a century. Hamilton “times himself out,” dying on the side of a bridge. Before he dies, however, he tells Salas,“don’t waste my time.”

Salas naturally seeks to fix the injustice of the time dichotomy, which is where the action of this science fiction/action thriller starts rolling — car chases, gun fights, time fights and last-second time transfers all make for a thrill-a-minute rollercoaster ride.

I would tell you more, but I dislike spoilers.

As far as scenery, costumes and props go, “In Time” defies the convention of other futuristic films.

The actors in the movie wear clothes that would be appropriate for the 21st century, especially given the movie’s focus on class structure. Mobsters wear purple, orange or light blue three-piece suits while the poor wear sweat pants, T-shirts and gym shoes.

Since the film utilizes several car chase scenes, one would think that Audi or Mercedes place futuristic rides like other

sci-fi thrillers, but, once again, “In Time” bucks trends while providing something for all kinds of automotive tastes.

Although there are no badges signifying manufacturer, the film employs a 1950s Jaguarish roadster, police (called Timekeepers in this case) drive what appear to be early ’70s Dodge Chargers, and limousines mirror a more tricked out Chrysler 300 from the last several years.

The entire film appears to take place in what could easily be Los Angeles circa 2001, and the only structures that appear out of place are the “99 second” stores and “time loan” banks instead of payday advance businesses.

“In Time” is clever in that it lets you know it takes place in the future but doesn’t try to overload your senses with gaudy CGI or wire-guided fight scenes. see time | 5

The jury stands: Justice’s latest release flops kyle pope | tnr contributor House music could have become a thing of the past if it weren’t for Justice.

In a world where dubstep completely dominates both the under and above ground electronic scene, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay of Justice were always there with the album “Cross.” This debut was a continuation of the trend of wellcrafted, intense house music that would always keep the party going.

Their second release “Audio, Video, Disco” did not make me want to party; it made me want to go to sleep.

“Cross” was a creation of dark intensity that shook up people all over the world. Put

on “Genesis” at any gathering of hipsters or bass heads and the atmosphere instantly becomes electric. “Audio, Video, Disco’s” fatal flaw is that it creates the complete opposite atmosphere.

The music lacks the powerful bellowing bass that tracks like “Genesis” and “Phantom” offered. Without the monstrous undertone and bumping bass, tracks like “Brainvision” fall short of lively. The light tone of the album plagues it through its entirety.

There is a staggering arena rock presence on “Audio, Video, Disco” that resembles some of the best in the genre such as Queen and Rush. Such larger-thanlife sound should only benefit the album’s

ability to build itself up into a towering wall of gallant sound, but it doesn’t.“New Lands” sets up much like a composition straight from the mind of AC/DC’s Angus Young, but with no backbone. The mix is unsaturated and confusingly dull. “Ohio” treads a little closer to what should be found on a Justice effort, but falls short due to it’s overly repetitive and unimpressive loops.

While “Audio, Video, Disco” does fall fatally short of the high bar that was set by “Cross,” there were some “OK, I’m listening now” moments on the album. The track list starts exceptionally strong with “Horsepower,” continuing the ambient dark see justice | 5

Unfortunately for the Cats, the drive ended with a missed field goal from Miliano that went wide left.

Legaux led the Bearcats down the field on their next possession, allowing them to get back into the game with 4:25 remaining in the third quarter.

After a 45-yard completion to Pead, Legaux rushed for seven yards and a Cincinnati touchdown, narrowing the Mountaineers’ lead to 17-14.

As the Mountaineers were driving down the field on their next possession, junior defensive lineman Walter Stewart recovered a WVU fumble.

from justice | 4 album opener like “Genesis” before it. The first single, “Civilization” is another house classic Justified by a groovy hook and a catchy chorus that says the Justice party lives on.

That being said, there are still nine other tracks that don’t live up to the hype.

Occasional praise aside, Justice’s second effort, “Audio, Video, Disco” is something I wish never happened. They took something absolute and watered it down to the point of erosion. The deifying sound that made Justice such a force in modern electronic has now become something that emulates elevator music. They go from being the upfront to the backdrop. I rest my case.

This is a sophomore flop to end all sophomore flops, and I can only hope that their next effort will bring more to the table. “Cross” did set a high bar; but with four years in waiting for the follow up, this is abysmal. I’m going to go listen to “Let There Be Light” now.

After being led into a rather sketchy-looking building with fire escapes built onto the front, the tour guide explained that this was the “Cosmopolitan” where massive crowds would gather to watch performers in what was the main hub for singers and music. It was even arranged so that singers could practice off to the side.

As the visitors gather around the tour guide, he blatantly informs them the building is very haunted to which much of the group shifted closer to each other in response. He also adds in a tidbit about Cincinnati’s drinking rate — which is apparently two and a half times that of the national average.

Finally, we descended into a tunnel. It looked much more like a cave and, in fact, that was its intended appearance. Once prohibition laws split the saloon from the brewing source and required a tax, tunnels were built to smuggle beer to and from saloons and breweries. They also kept the beer cold, and everyone knows the Germans love their lagers cold.

Electric refrigeration and prohibition shriveled the need for the tunnels and brought about their demise. Thanks to the wonderful people at Cincy Haus, however, everyone can learn about this interesting period in OTR history.

I never would have guessed the buildings in that area had such interesting backgrounds, and would recommend the tour for anyone searching for a more off-beat depiction of our local surroundings.

echoed Wolfe’s sentiment.

“We all had our fair share of mistakes,” Schaffer said. “There is no blame on the offense or special teams.”

Schaffer also said the defense, which held the Mountaineers scoreless in the third quarter and shut out Pittsburgh in the fourth quarter last week, not only wants to put the game on their backs, but trusts in the team’s quarterbacks behind Collaros.

“It’s disappointing, but you know, it’s another learning lesson,”Schaffer said.“We’re fine.

I have all the faith in the world, in our team and Coach Jones and the rest of our coaches — we’re gonna get this stuff corrected, and we’re gonna move on.”

third-world countries.

The NCAA is no different than the rest of that sports world. The players might not get paid like it, but the administrators and coaches certainly do, along with being afforded an insane amount of prestige because, after all, they teach a game to young men and women.

Something else they teach to those young men and women? To cover up horrific crimes, at the expense of children just to keep them in the drivers seat of the car wreck the sports world has become.

Besides the shattered lives of the victims and the alleged charges against Sandusky, that is the most sickening and disappointing aspect of this situation.

One that we — as media, fans, administrators, coaches and the public — should truly learn from, and definitely never forget.

for another touchdown, making the score 24-21 with 8:46 left.

WVU tried to extend its lead, but a wide field goal gave the ball back to the Bearcats, giving them a chance to take the lead in the final 2:01 of the game.

The Cats drove 56 yards down the field and had the opportunity to tie the game with a field goal; but in the final seconds of the game, the kick was blocked as time expired, resulting in the Mountaineers’ victory. “[It was] obviously a very disappointing loss. It stings a little bit,” Jones said. “I’m extremely proud of every member of our football family.

I thought they fought, never gave in, and I think we suffered just about every adversity that you could suffer in every single aspect of a football game; and they kept fighting and it came down to the final play.”

Defensive lineman Derek Wolfe said the defense was to blame for the loss. “[The loss] is on us,” Wolfe said. “We have to snap and clear and get ready for Rutgers.”
