Former Ohio State wide receiver and Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes returned Monday night from a four-game suspension following a violation of the NFL substance abuse policy. But instead of focusing on his future and his team’s next opponent, Holmes on Tuesday was forced to again answer questions about his troubled past. Sports Illustrated reported that Holmes was one of many college football players asked to accept money from former agent Josh Luchs. Holmes told Luchs that he was already taking money from a different agent, Luchs said. In a phone interview with The Lantern, Luchs said he wasn’t the first to contact Holmes while the receiver was at OSU. “That wasn’t a typical situation. I was basically shut down immediately with the response being that he was basically getting taken care of by somebody else,” said Luchs, who also represented former OSU running

OSU ranks third in annual Trojan Sexual Health Report Card
JENNY FOGLE Lantern reporter fogle.96@osu.edu
University Ohio State ranked third out of 141 colleges on the Trojan Sexual Health Report Card released last week. OSU showed significant improvement from the past two years. In 2008, OSU was ranked No. 28 and in 2009, No. 23. “With the sexual health report card, we are not looking at the frequency of sexual activity and we’re not looking at the rate of (Sexually Transmitted Infections) on campus,” said Bert Sperling, survey coordinator and president of Sperling’s BestPlaces, the company Trojan hired to compile information for the report. “We are looking at the resources and services that are available for the students so they can stay healthy and make their own best decisions.” Trojan came up with the ranking five years ago to measure the availability of resources aimed to prevent the spread of STIs. Sperling’s BestPlaces contacted the universities’ student health centers, sent out questionnaires and evaluated the health centers’ websites, Sperling said.

Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman approved a pilot project last week to install 114 security cameras in five neighborhoods, including the University District. Project consultants have estimated the project will cost between $2 million and $2.5 million, which will come from the Department of Public Safety’s Capital Improvement Budget, said Amanda Ford, assistant director of public safety for the city of Columbus. As early as next summer, cameras will begin recording 24 hours a day in the Hilltop, Weinland Park and South Linden areas, as well as along Mount Vernon and Livingston avenues, Ford said. Cameras closest to campus will be near the intersection of Ninth Avenue and High Street. The areas were chosen based on requests from neighborhood residents and leaders, as well as input from crime analysts and patrol officers. “Our goal is to put the cameras up to deter crime in those areas,” Ford said. Despite some cameras’ proximity to campus, Ohio State Police will not have access to the video feeds. The cameras will feed into City Hall, where trained

In the SI article, Luchs reveals how he got his foot in the door with playeragent relations and details how he violated NCAA regulations by paying college football players. “In November 2005 … I flew to Ohio State to talk to receiver Santonio Holmes,” Luchs wrote in the SI article. “We met him outside the football building, and he said, ‘Listen, I want to save you the time. We don’t need to meet. I’ve been taking money from (an agent) the last couple years, and he’s been taking care of my family too.’ “Had it been 10 years earlier, I would have probably said, ‘Santonio, whatever he’s paying you, I’ll double it.’ But … I had Hollywood to sell. Let the other agents pay kids.” Luchs told The Lantern that the encounter with Holmes was the only interaction the agent had with the Buckeye receiver. “I wasn’t involved with Santonio Holmes other than the fact that my other agents went to go recruit him,” Luchs said. “Other than that one conversation, I’ve never spoken to him before, never spoken to him since.”

OSU researchers will work with China to create ‘clean vehicles’ DYLAN TUSSEL Lantern reporter tussel.2@osu.edu Research groups from the two largest automotive markets in the world are teaming up to develop more sustainable ways to power vehicles. An American team, including researchers from Ohio State, the University of Michigan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and automotive companies, will collaborate with a comparable group from China on a project to develop “clean vehicles.” “You now have the two biggest players in this business working together to find solutions to the automobile industry of the future,” said Giorgio Rizzoni, professor of engineering at OSU and director of the university’s Center for Automotive Research. He will be the site director for OSU’s research team. Researchers from the Center for Automotive Research will lead OSU’s group, which will consist of faculty experts and graduate students in engineering. “We hope to improve technological solutions for lightweight, fuel-efficient vehicles that use fuels that are not based on petroleum,” Rizzoni said. “The mobility industry — anything that has to do with transportation and vehicles — will have to change.” Rizzoni said he expects about 12 OSU students working on similar projects, such as SMART@CAR and the Buckeye Bullet, to

Basketball tix sell out in 2 hours EVAN CLOSKY Lantern reporter closky.2@osu.edu A week after officials fixed an error in the university’s online ticket-selling system, it took only two hours for Ohio State men’s basketball student tickets to sell out. Last week, before tickets were about to be released, only 70 percent of the e-mails were sent to students. After two days of deliberation, the ticketing problem was finally solved. “We re-sent the ticket information e-mails last Thursday and another reminder Monday,” Scarbrough said. “The e-mails were all sent within 10 hours, which is much-improved from last time.” The proper e-mails were sent, the server did not crash, and students were able to sign onto their account and attempt to purchase tickets at 4 p.m. Tuesday. Brett Scarbrough, senior director of ticketing for OSU, explained that all of the technical difficulties from last week’s mishap were solved. “We worked with the university’s OIT and Ticketmaster to manage and re-configure the e-mail
servers,” Scarbrough said. “We needed to bump up and tweak the settings to increase the flow of e-mails.” Though the e-mails were sent out successfully, some students still seemed confused and angry. “I was definitely planning on buying tickets but I didn’t know they were going on sale today,” said Samantha Zornes, a fourth-year in biology. “Our administration should have done a better job of organizing the ticket sales,” said Justin Mayer, a fourth-year in construction systems management. “People who were waiting to buy tickets and looking forward to watching Jared Sullinger start his first game at Ohio State are probably sad.” Jared Kamrass, the Undergraduate Representative for the University Athletic Council, said the release date was pushed back for the students’ benefit. “Tuesday’s date was chosen so that all of the information about this year’s men’s basketball ticket sales could reach the students and allow for necessary preparation,” Kamrass said. The ticket office plans to make sure a problem like that never happens again. “We now instituted an internal rule that there must be at least five days notice for students when tickets go on sale,” Scarbrough said.

Holmes denied telling agent he received money Through a New York Jets spokesperson, Holmes denied that he ever told Luchs he was receiving money from an agent while in college, SI reported. “He denied it. That’s fine,” Luchs told The Lantern. “I mean, what is he going to say? Plenty of people deny things that are true. It doesn’t matter. I still appreciate his honesty one-on-one when it mattered. It doesn’t matter what’s said publicly.” Athletic programs cannot be penalized for violations involving players more than four years after they leave college, according to NCAA rule. The OSU athletic department was still investigating as of Tuesday night. “We just learned of the article,” OSU spokesman Dan Wallenberg said in an e-mail. “Our compliance staff is in the process of gathering information.” OSU compliance director Doug Archie held the

OSU joined two other Big Ten schools in the top five: Michigan State, which ranked second, and the University of Michigan at fourth. Representing the Ivy League, Columbia University took the first place spot, and Brown University ranked fifth. But the Student Wellness Center at OSU is not focused on rankings. Instead, it is focused on taking steps to prevent the spread of STIs. Students can become a part of the Condom Club at OSU, which offers 50 condoms for $5, Miller said. STI and HIV tests are also available to students. Columbus Public Health comes to campus each quarter to provide free STI testing, she said. Students can receive the results of HIV tests within 20 to 40 minutes. They are oral, so no needles are involved, Miller said. A recent survey of 2,124 OSU students, conducted by the American College Health Association, asked about health history, including STIs. The category with the highest percentage of student diagnoses was genital warts/human papillomavirus, at 2.2 percent, according to the National College Health Assessment. It is hard to gauge what the most prevalent STI is because a lot of students don’t get diagnosed or tested, Miller said. The hope is that the Trojan report card will raise awareness, Tetreault said, and prompt universities to improve their sexual wellness programs.
OSU joins two other Big Ten schools in top five The schools were given grades based on 12 areas dealing with sexual health programs and resources, including hours of operation, HIV testing and sexual assault programs. “What we want to do is increase the information that is out there in order to try and start to combat some of these really high sexually transmitted infection rates,” said Bruce Tetreault, group product manager of Trojan. Statistics show that one in four people will have an STI by the age of 25, Tetreault said. OSU earned a 3.58 grade point average on the report card. It averaged As and Bs with the exception of one C regarding walk-in hours at the Student Wellness Center. But Katye Miller, wellness coordinator at OSU, was puzzled by how the independent research company measured the grades. Miller said the university usually receives lower grades on the survey for condoms because it charges a small amount instead of giving them out for free. “We have a lot more that other campuses don’t have, like our sexual assault program,” Miller said. “We are one of the cutting-edge universities with our sexual assault program, but we got a B on it, not an A.”

OSU’s research
group will receive about $7 million join the consortium as graduate research associates. The U.S. research consortium will receive more than $25 million throughout the project, which will last from 2011 to 2016. During those five years, OSU’s research group will receive $3 million from the government and $4 million from OSU and its industry partners. The Chinese government should have a group of research institutions selected by the end of the year, Rizzoni said. Students and researchers from both countries will participate in exchanges with each other and will conduct research together.
Rizzoni said it is important to develop electric cars to reduce carbon emissions and the United States’ dependence on petroleum. To accomplish that, a section of the research group will focus on developing more efficient car batteries. Sudarsanam Babu, a professor of engineering at OSU, will be part of that group. Babu said that to improve car batteries, “we need to understand the fundamental reason batteries are or aren’t working.” Researchers are unable to pinpoint why certain batteries work better than others, he said, but it boils down to the inner workings of the batteries during the charging and discharging processes. That research will extend beyond reducing automobile emissions, which account for about one-third of carbon emissions in the U.S., said Bill Burtis, communications
manager for Clean Air-Cool Planet, a nonprofit group dedicated to researching and promoting solutions to global warming. There is no way to store energy from renewable resources, such as solar and wind, Burtis said. But the research on car batteries might provide a solution. “You may produce a whole lot of energy on a sunny or windy day, and it might exceed demand in the particular area where it’s produced,” Burtis said. “Being able to store that is really valuable, and electric vehicles’ batteries basically are a way of doing that.” Burtis said the ability to store renewable energies will also allow buildings to use them more. “Imagine walking down a street in a city where the vehicles are quiet and where there aren’t fumes in the air,” he said, “where you’re not smelling diesel exhaust.”

same position at Utah in 2005, when Holmes allegedly accepted the money. Heather Lyke, Archie’s predecessor, could not be reached for comment. OSU athletic director Gene Smith told The Lantern in September that Luchs’ actions aren’t representative of most agents. “Do we have some bad people in the business? No doubt,” Smith said. “But 99 percent of our people are trying to do it the right way, and outside influences take them to where they are. It worries me constantly that our education sessions might not work.” Holmes played for the Buckeyes from 2002-05. He redshirted during OSU’s championship season in 2002. He was the 25th overall selection of the 2006 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pittsburgh dealt him to the New York Jets on April 11, shortly after the NFL announced that Holmes would be suspended for the first four games of the 2010 season following his violation of the league’s substance abuse policy.

residents, who are there 24 hours a day.” “We realize that (the cameras) could move crime to other areas,” Ford said. “But this is just one part of a practical policing strategy.” Ford said police might increase patrols in areas not covered by cameras. Although the project will likely be a useful tool for Columbus Police, citizens should not expect crime to disappear. “These cameras are not a silver bullet to end crime in the City of Columbus,” Coleman said in the press release. “They will be another tool officers can use to potentially prevent crimes before they happen and solve crimes after they happen.”
Exec MBA program ranked 17th in nation CHRIS BURKETT Lantern reporter burkett.41@osu.edu The Executive Master of Business Administration program in Ohio State’s Fisher College of Business has been ranked 17th nationally in the Wall Street Journal’s 2010 Executive MBA rankings. The newspaper, along with Portland-based Management Research Group, consulted recent program graduates and companies familiar with the programs to compile rankings and assess graduates’ management and leadership skills. Tony Rucci, associate to the dean for executive programs and clinical professor of management and human resources, said he is excited about the ranking and progress of OSU’s program. “We’re very pleased with the momentum we have,” Rucci said. “Their rankings are the ones that are most heavily influenced by surveys of students and the companies who have sponsored sending them. That to me is very compelling. “I hate to sound like Jim Tressel here, but it wouldn’t matter in my mind where we rank. The whole focus on improvement and being really focused on the customer wouldn’t change no matter where we were ranked.” Fisher’s Executive MBA program ranked in the top third in program quality, faculty quality, classmate quality and immediately applicable course work.

the Fisher College of Business, said the applicability of students’ course work is important to the program’s success and development. “If what they’re learning they can’t apply, it’s not a really useful program,” Newcomb said. “You can have the best faculty, but if you can’t use what they’re telling you, that’s problematic.” Rucci said the quality of the faculty has played a role in the program’s improvement. “We have identified the faculty we know resonate most with business executives,” Rucci said. “And the folks in our administrative area around the Executive (MBA) program are absolutely in-touch with the students.” The program also had the fifth-lowest cost in the Wall Street Journal’s rankings. “Tuition is important,” Newcomb said. “I don’t see our tuition ever going up to $130,000 as Michigan and some of the others are.”
Nancy Crespo, deputy director of Government Relations for State Auto Insurance Companies and a student in the program, said she was not surprised at the progress from 2008, when the program was ranked 21st. She said students are giving feedback and program administrators are listening, so students are satisfied with the program. Crespo also said she believes the Wall Street Journal’s rankings will have a positive effect on the program. “Any ambitious student is going to look for a program that’s highly ranked across the nation,” she said. “And the OSU program, you get more value out of it. I think that’s definitely going to attract many more students to apply for the program.” Chuck Rotuno, president and CEO of OEConnection, was accepted into the University of Michigan’s Executive MBA program but chose OSU’s instead. He thought the quality
of OSU’s program was better for the price and is happy with the decision he made. “The format is perfect for business executives who are participants in the program,” Rotuno said. “The international component is a very big piece of the program. International is weaved into pretty much every course that students are taking, and in today’s world, that’s obviously very important.” Rotuno said he thinks the program will continue to climb in the rankings. “I wouldn’t be surprised to see Ohio State in the top 10 rankings within the next couple years,” he said. “Without a doubt, my expectations were greatly exceeded. The camaraderie and relationships you develop in a program like this speak volumes. I do think that will continue to propel the program forward.”

student voice Should we blame the Rutgers recorders? LANTERN Columnist
Tragedy struck at Rutgers University in late September when Tyler Clementi, an 18-yearold freshman, apparently jumped to his death from the George Washington Bridge after two fellow classmates broadcast a sexual encounter between Tyler and another male. The two students allegedly responsible for the broadcast, Dharun Ravi and Molly Wei, are being prosecuted and could face five years in jail. It’s a sad situation and another example of cyber-bullying going too far. Unfortunately, it led to a young man’s death. But as I watch the media tear apart Ravi and Wei, I can’t help but wonder: What would I do in that situation? What would most other 18-year-old college freshmen have done? The answer might not be what people would like to think. People have always had questions, but for generations, people were just too afraid to ask. Over time, the once-strong wall of personal privacy has been shot, trampled and destroyed. Everything is everyone’s business. Things that were once private are becoming common knowledge. Take a visit
MICHAEL PERIATT periatt.1@osu.edu to Facebook, and in a matter of seconds, anyone can find out private information such as location, age, sexual orientation and relationship status. Look up in the check-out line at the local grocery story and see the tabloid magazine spewing the latest gossip. Flip on the TV and see the same rumors buzzing around. Our generation is conditioned to make everything transparent and, when we find something out, particularly something a little scandalous, the odds are that we are not going to keep it to ourselves. So would I have broadcast Clementi’s sexual encounter
online? No, probably not. But I probably would have told someone. Most people my age probably would have done something similar. It wouldn’t be out of hate or malice but out of habit or through observation of others. And in the end, chances are that Clementi still would have found out and been embarrassed. That’s not to say what Ravi and Wei did was OK. What they did and the way they went about it was undeniably wrong, but that isn’t the issue. The issue is whether they can be blamed. As society keeps pushing in the direction of complete transparency, can we really fault two teens for continuing the trend? The answer, unfortunately, is, “no, but we have to anyway.” We are at a crossroads when it comes to personal privacy. We either have to draw a line in the sand or let the floodgates open. Because of deaths like Clementi’s, it seems pretty obvious we need to draw that line. But to do so, someone has to take the fall. In this case, it will be two teens. Just don’t be too quick to judge. You might not have been much better.

She is an incredible woman and one of my favorite people. My family history is very important to me. It should be; I grew up in the same house my paternal grandfather did. It has been in my family for almost 200 years. When you grow up with your family history all around you, it gives you a sense of pride in your genealogy. I love that I share a name with my grandmother. She is such a cool lady, and my name reminds me of her. The second reason why I love my name, and why my parents gave it to me, is because I have never — not once in my life — been called
“Dorothy P.” because there were other Dorothys. I’ve never experienced confusion over which Dorothy someone was referring to. Actually, I’ve met only one other Dorothy my age, and she went by Dot, anyway. My parents definitely had that in mind when they chose my name and those of my two brothers. It was very practical of them, really. I’ve been trying to accept that, as awesome as my name is, it comes with some strings. I’ve tried to come to terms with the fact that when your name is inherently connected with one of the most beloved movies in popular culture, people are going to wise crack about it. Seriously, I’m trying to develop a sense of humor about it. My Halloween costume this year is going to be Dorothy (Gale, of course, from The Wizard of Oz. I don’t want to be that girl who comes to a party as “herself”). I’m also trying to bite my tongue and not say anything sarcastic when someone makes a joke about my name. This has been especially hard, because I respond to almost everything with an acerbic barb. I’m trying, I really am, to be good-natured about it. I do, however, have one request: Please don’t think you’re the funniest comedian in the world when you crack a joke about the flying monkeys. Those things are scary!
Quick-fix culture to blame for kids with addictions LANTERN Columnist
Parenting by pills. That is the phrase that got stuck in my head after working at an affluent community center frequented by young boys. I found out that 12 of the 13 boys were on drugs to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. I was appalled because the boys were not on the drugs during the summer, yet I had no problem controlling PATRICIA CUNNINGHAM the group. When I asked them cunningham.212@osu.edu why they took the medicine, all of them told me it was so they behaved in class and didn’t disturb their parents at home. It’s scary that we as a society, with our McDonaldization of industry and personal wellness, have also produced parents who look for a quick fix for their kids. And then those kids go to college thinking they need a quick fix for everything. And they’re willing to share that fix with other students on their residence hall floors or rooms. I’m not talking about people who need drugs like Ritalin to self-regulate. Activity in the frontal region of the brain helps with problem-solving, planning and understanding other people, and in impulse control. It’s important to improve the quality of life for people who have issues associated with that region of the brain. However, using pills instead of trying other methods first can lead to other problems as a person reaches and surpasses adulthood. People exchange pills like kindergarteners exchange silly bands. It is a silent college epidemic that is dangerous because it affects chemistry in the brain. When students take those pills from someone else and use them simply as a crutch to make them focus or study, they end up with an addiction and not a skill set. During the ‘90s, we discovered more about certain drugs that can help small populations of people. There was also a downfall to that: The misuse of prescription drugs are a result, in part, of poor parenting. But it’s mostly a reflection of a society that wants instant fixes. François de La Rochefoucauld said, “It is not enough to have great qualities; we should also have the management of them.” Self-discipline is the best gift we can give ourselves, and there is no other time than the present to cultivate it.

The Lifestyle Communities Pavilion was ablaze with light as thousands of people thrust their lighters into the air while rappers Kid Cudi and Chip tha Ripper boasted about their hometown, Cleveland. The song they were singing was called “Hyyerr,” a melody about smoking weed and “freeing their minds.” Many in the audience took it to heart. It was an amazing show, but getting puked on and burned with cigarettes is a hard price to pay on top of ticket costs. Was it worth it? For some students, yes; for others, like the many who got caught smoking weed, it probably wasn’t. The concert was sold out, with 5,000 people smoking, dancing and drinking. But

Cultures collide among crowd at Kid Cudi concert
VANESSA SPATES spates.3@osu.edu security was having a tough job keeping up with deviant behavior. Deep in the crowd, the air was filled with the smell of weed and the sound of frustrated and sometimes-drunken yells.
Machine Gun Kelly, another Cleveland-based rapper, was performing when, suddenly, two Ohio State freshmen were snatched out of the crowd by security. The girls were trying to light a hand-rolled cigar. Others quickly tucked objects in their jackets, purses and pockets so they, too, wouldn’t get pulled from the crowd. Another girl threw up near me and passed out in her vomit as her friends stood in a daze. People were packed so tight, they couldn’t get her out. My friends and I moved because it was getting harder and harder to breathe without choking on smoke and other human beings. I’ve been to plenty of shows and have seen my share of
insanity, but the Kid Cudi concert took the cake. Because it was an outdoor venue, the level of smoking tripled and the number of underage drinkers seemed staggering. One student said he got pushed around so much that he left before the main act got on stage. He said his girlfriend got burned by a cigarette. Another student said she had the best time of her life, even though she could “barely remember” her name by the end of it. For me, the music outweighed the crowd’s overall idiocy. I paid to watch unreal performances, and that’s what I got. The pot, drunkenness and the “mosh mentality” were just a bump in the night.

Because of Ohio State’s convincing defeat of Indiana on Saturday, coupled with Alabama’s loss at South Carolina, the Buckeyes head to Wisconsin this weekend with the No. 1 ranking in the nation. Despite the hype the top ranking creates, OSU coach Jim Tressel said Tuesday that Wisconsin is going to come prepared. “They were going to be ready if we were 15th,” Tressel said. “I don’t know that that will change their readiness. What’s most critical is our readiness and our preparation and how we handle the adversity.” Although Tressel said the ranking won’t change things in Wisconsin, senior defensive end Cameron Heyward said the ranking could present a more difficult challenge. “We always just want to be No. 2, then we just go under the radar,” Heyward said. “No one expects No. 2 to do
Injury report After adding another dimension to the Buckeye offense with his strong play to open the season, tight end Jake Stoneburner has missed the last two games after spraining an ankle against Eastern Michigan. However, Tressel said there is a chance the junior could return to the lineup Saturday. “He was back doing individual drills on Sunday night,” Tressel said. “I’m told that he is probable, but that was said cautiously.” Offensive lineman J.B.

Ben axelrod Lantern reporter axelrod.17@osu.edu Former Ohio State cornerback Malcolm Jenkins spent all of his 2009 season adjusting to the pros. Now he’s spending the 2010 season adjusting to a new position. With Jabari Greer and Tracy Porter already established as the starting cornerbacks for the defending Super Bowl champions, the New Orleans Saints, the team’s selection of cornerback Patrick Robinson in the first round of the 2010 draft all but solidified Jenkins’ move to safety. Jenkins said it was the Saints coaches’ decision to make the move, which had been rumored since the team selected Jenkins during the 14th overall pick of the 2009 draft. “They saw how the depth chart was shaking out, and that Darren Sharper was probably going to be on (the physically unable-to-perform list), and the depth that we have at corner,” Jenkins said. “I think that they thought it would be best for the Saints.” Jenkins has started the Saints’ first five games this season, filling in for the former All-Pro Sharper as he recovers from an offseason knee surgery. Jenkins said Sharper has shared his experience at the safety position. “He’s around all the time and lives in the same building that I live in,” Jenkins said. “He’s definitely mentoring me a lot, and we’ll sit down and watch game tape together, and he’ll show me what he sees or what he could have done better. I’m kind of learning on the job basically, and I think that he’s helped my learning curve speed up that much.” With Sharper eligible to come off the injury list following week six, Jenkins said he doesn’t have time to worry about his mentor taking his spot in the starting lineup away from him. “It’s something that’s hard not to think about, but at the same time the only thing that I can control is my own performance,” Jenkins said. “They need me to go out and perform and do what I do to the best of my abilities, and however that whole situation plays out, I’ll just go from there.” The Saints coaches have been impressed with Jenkins’ transition to safety and are excited about his future at the position. “I think he’s doing really well,” Saints defensive backs coach Dennis Allen said in an e-mail. “I think the thing about Malcolm is he’s an extremely hard worker. He’s dedicated to his profession. He’s a pro, and I think he’s got instincts for the game.” Saints head coach Sean Payton echoed Allen’s optimism for Jenkins’ future as a safety. “He has made a ton of progress, and the reps that he’s getting at a position that’s relatively new for him, he has done very well with,” Payton told the media following the Saints’ week one win over the Minnesota Vikings. “He has a real good football IQ. He’s smart, he has real good range on the back end and he’s a physical player. He’s doing extremely well.”

Malcolm Jenkins celebrates after the Saints recover an onside kick during the 2010 Super Bowl, which New Orleans won 27-17 over the Indianapolis Colts. Jenkins said his performance this season has been solid but there’s always room for improvement. “I think there’s, over the past five games, a couple of plays that I wish I could get back,” Jenkins said. “That all comes with the learning curve. I’ve been playing well. Each week has just been an improvement, and I think that’s the key.” The safety position is often seen as a position of leadership for a defense, often in charge of making coverage calls for the secondary. A former captain and three-year starter at OSU, Jenkins said he’s not yet ready to call himself a leader on the team. “I think that I’m starting to mold into that leadership role,” Jenkins said. “I’m not the leader of the secondary. The thing is, there are guys like Darren, Roman Harper, who have been in this league for a while. That respect is just gained through experience, gained through being accountable over and over again, and eventually that leadership role will come.” The 2008 Jim Thorpe Award winner for the Best Defensive Back in college football, Jenkins said his skill
set naturally lends itself to the safety position. “I like the safety position a little more,” Jenkins said. “The safety position allows me to use my range, my physicality and the things that I see on film study and be able to go make things happen.” Five games into the season, Jenkins has accumulated 23 tackles, one sack and two passes defended for the Saints, who have gotten off to a 3-2 start. Jenkins said he has yet to fully appreciate what a Super Bowl victory means, but a disappointing season might do just that. “I really don’t think I’ll be able to appreciate it until I have a few seasons where I don’t go,” Jenkins said. “Right now, it’s all I know.” Allen said if the Saints don’t get back to the Super Bowl, it won’t be because of poor play from the safety. “I know a guy is going to be a really good player at that position if he’s got instincts for the game and if he’s such a hard worker,” Allen said. “Those guys succeed, and Malcolm will succeed.”

Tressel talks No. 1 ranking, Pryor, showdown in Madison

inten grou tional ndin g Attitude is everything in the game of life Resilient. That would be the one adjective I would pick to describe the 2010 Cincinnati Reds. Sure, they were just swept by the two-time defending National League champion Philadelphia Phillies. But in the regular season, like a boxer who won’t quit no matter how many times he’s been hit in the mouth, the Reds picked their mouth piece off the floor and put their fists back up. Start off the season 5-8? Finish May in first place. Swept by the last-place Seattle Mariners? Take three from the Oakland Athletics in consecutive series. Drop four heartbreakers to the Phillies right before the All-Star break? Win four out of five to start the season’s second half. Embarrassed by the St. Louis Cardinals in August? Rip off eight wins in their next nine games. The man who knows best about resiliency? Not owner Bob Castellini or general manager Walt Jocketty. Not even NL MVP Joey Votto. Doc Rodgers. Who? Darrell “Doc” Rodgers is a former minor-league baseball player and coach. He has spent time in the front offices of the Reds, Detroit Tigers and Baltimore Orioles. He is a real estate agent in Cincinnati and is the weekend host of “Extra Innings,” the Reds postgame radio show on 700 WLW-AM. In May, he began to go through weeks with harsh headaches. After coming home from WLW-AM on May 23, his left knee, foot and arm went numb. Little did he know that life had thrown him the ultimate curveball. On June 20, Father’s Day, Rodgers announced to his audience that he had stage-four lung cancer. While interning at WCPO-TV in Cincinnati this summer, I was afforded many great opportunities. I ran into Doc two separate times before he appeared on the station’s Sunday night sports talk show. Joyful, charming, full of life. I could think of tens of other adjectives to describe a man with such a sunny disposition, the opposite of what one would expect of a man with lung and brain tumors. “It’s kind of like having kids (Doc has two). You don’t give them a choice sometimes,” Rodgers said. “A negative attitude is not an option.” There have been no real adjustments to his life. “I’m doing what I was doing before,” he said. Luckily, chemotherapy has produced few side effects so far, although his hair has begun to fall out. “That’s kind of a benefit,” joked the already thin-haired 47-year-old. The love the community has

Ohio State players expect physical game at Wisconsin Terrelle Pryor continued to prove he is developing into a precision passer. Setting a personal best through the air with 334 yards and 24 completions, Pryor earned both Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week and team Player of the Week honors. And after another week to rest his quadriceps strain, Pryor is ready to run, Tressel said. “We feel going into every game that we need the two-way threat because sometimes the best decision that a quarterback makes is to tuck it and take off,” Tressel said. “It just so happens when he tucks it and takes off, it could be 60 (yards). So that’s huge to us, having that ability.” Battle in the trenches Wisconsin typically possesses one of the premiere offensive lines in the country. Tressel said that this week, winning the battle in the trenches is of utmost importance. “Every game is won there,” Tressel said. “The trenches are where it will be. Run game certainly, pass protection, for sure, both sides. That’s where the game is won and lost.” Heyward echoed his coach’s sentiments and said

Cincinnati eliminated in three games by Philadelphia Phillies shown him has been “kind of embarrassing.” He has received a few thousand e-mails, many of which he hasn’t had time to read yet. “Almost every other caller ends by saying they’re wishing and praying for me,” Rodgers said. “I never could have imagined the support … I had no idea it would be like this.” Doc and the Reds are mirror
going up against Wisconsin’s offensive line will be no easy task. “I think Miami (Fla.) was a great offensive line as well, and there’s a couple teams that have a couple good players on the offensive line, but I think this is the most complete,” Heyward said. “They run so hard and finish blocks very well. They’re some trees and they get so much push, it’s going to be critical for us to keep up the line of scrimmage on our side.” Physical game With both Dan Herron and Dane Sanzenbacher suffering concussions during their last trip to Camp Randall, the Buckeyes are well-aware of the level of physicality to expect. “It’s a physical game,” Tressel said of OSU–Wisconsin meetings. “That’s the way Wisconsin plays and that’s why they’re good … They’ve got good intention to smack you.” Going for BCS No. 1 The Buckeyes might be ranked No. 1 in the polls, but projected BCS rankings have OSU at No. 5. Heyward said the team isn’t concerned. “I think every week is a chance,” he said. “We have so many opponents left on our schedule. No matter what the ranking is, it’s not even an upset or anything, it’s just Big Ten football. We know every opponent is going to give us their best shot, and every week we have to prove to everybody that we deserve that ranking.”
images of each another. Doc believes Reds manager Dusty Baker, who is a prostate cancer survivor, was largely responsible for the team’s surprising success this season. “It all starts with Dusty. He’s the ultimate optimist. Actions speak louder than words, and you can tell he’s got the ultimate support of the players,” Rodgers said. “They go out and play and don’t put pressure on themselves.” Doc visited the Reds clubhouse recently, and the two talked about the bond they share. Dusty’s message was clear.
“It was Dusty being Dusty. He said attitude is how you get through it,” Rodgers said. “You get way more out of a positive attitude, so you might as well have one.” The Reds’ magical season might be over, but Doc’s fight for his life is far from finished. Things are looking up, as a recent CAT scan showed his lung tumor has shrunk by 30 percent. Nevertheless, he’ll continue to battle cancer the only way he knows, with a charming smile and the heart of a lion.

‘Jackass 3-D’ star Johnny Knoxville ramps a Jet Ski out of a swimming pool during one of the film’s many stunts.
‘Jackass’ back for 3-D antics Alex Antonetz Senior Lantern reporter antonetz.3@osu.edu After 25 television episodes and two successful films, “Jackass” is returning to the big screen, this time in 3-D. “Jackass 3-D” — the third flick in the hit MTV television and film franchise — hits theaters Friday. The Lantern was among a select group of college newspapers to attend a press screening and junket, all expenses paid, with the cast of the film Friday and Saturday in Los Angeles. The press junket included director Jeff Tremaine, as well as cast members Johnny Knoxville, Bam Margera, Stephen “Steve-O” Glover, Chris Pontius, Dave England, Jason “Wee-Man” Acuña, Ryan Dunn, “Danger” Ehren McGhehey and Preston Lacy. Following up “Jackass: The Movie” and “Jackass: No. 2,” “Jackass 3-D” reunites the zany cast members four years after their last film and eight years after the television show ended its run on MTV. So how did the cast and crew know it was time for a new ‘Jackass?’ “Public demand,” Pontius said, as he strummed on a ukulele. “I think most of us were always ready,” Tremaine said. “I think it takes about four years to recover from the ‘Jackass’ movies. We’ve sort of proven that.” The film, the first in the series to employ 3-D, was actually shot with 3-D cameras, as opposed to being shot in 2-D and converted to 3-D after filming. However, the decision to shoot in 3-D was not an easy one. Because the 3-D cameras used in “Jackass 3-D” use two lenses to film — one to capture the perspective of each eye — the cameras are larger than standard cameras.
“Paramount suggested we shoot it in 3-D, and we were hesitant at first because of the way we do things,” Tremaine said. “We’re a real run-and-gun crew, and to get these big 3-D cameras and the extra people that come with all that just scared us.” Knoxville, one of the stars of the franchise, said he was wary of shooting in 3-D until the last minute. “I was the last person to be converted,” he said. “I thought it would take a long time, and we wouldn’t be able to run-and-gun, and it would just change the movie, and I’m not up for that.” Three-D aside, the rest of the cast was still iffy on resurrecting the series for a third go, even after a four-year hiatus. “I hadn’t been around these guys in a long time,” Dunn said. “I didn’t know if we’d mix together. But as soon as we started filming, I was way wrong. I had more fun on this movie than any of the other ones.” Other cast members had more pressing issues. Between “Jackass 2” and “Jackass 3-D,” Steve-O made a complete recovery from drug addiction, He is now going on three years sober. “It was important to me to prove to myself and everyone else that sobriety hasn’t turned me into a lame, boring wimp,” Steve-O said. “Being present and clear-headed, I was dreading doing the stuff so much more than ever before, but at the same time, I was more eager than ever before to do it.” Before sobriety, Margera said Steve-O’s addiction had become so bad that one night he took out $1,000 in one-dollar bills, threw them down on the streets of New York City, and yelled, “People who think they’re rich think they walk on rose pedals? Well I walk on money!” But the pay-off came with “Jackass 3-D,” with Steve-O turning in the best performance the series has seen, Knoxville said. “He’s a little more scared this time to do things, which was great on camera,” he said. “He got the best footage of any movie.”
“Jackass 3-D” features a variety of stunts and sketches, involving footballs, jet engines, a “dildo bazooka” and one with a bull that nearly broke Knoxville’s neck. In the stunt, Knoxville takes a bull’s hoof to the head, knocking him down and causing him to land awkwardly on his head and neck. “The bull did me a favor,” Knoxville said. “The bull saved my life.” That wasn’t the only injury in the film. Steve-O broke his nose during one of the film’s “Rocky” pieces and McGhehey lost a tooth. The film’s marquee piece, however, as seen in the trailers and commercials, involves a port-o-potty on a bungee cord. The stunt has been dubbed the “poop cocktail supreme” by the film’s cast and crew. Though Steve-O, who was in the port-o-potty during the stunt, said he was reluctant to do it, the motivation to do the stunt came from nothing more than “footage envy.” “One of the guys will get something really awesome, some great footage, and then that will give the rest of us footage envy,” he said. “We’ll be jealous of some awesome stunt that someone else did.” Now, with “Jackass 3-D” in the can and set to hit theaters Friday, production on a fourth film has not been totally ruled out, though any decision to go ahead with it is not immediately in the works. However, Knoxville said they had no immediate plans for sequels after the first and second films, but an eventual piling of ideas led to the follow-ups. In the meantime, with “Jackass 3-D” set for release, the cast members explained why audiences should check out the film. “It’s the first 3-D movie with real s--- and puke … flowing into the audience,” McGhehey said.

Barack Obama isn’t the only person with pop culture significance visiting campus this weekend. “The Simpsons” creator Matt Groening will be at the 2010 Festival of Cartoon Art. Tucked away beneath the large white grids of the Wexner Center is the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library and Museum. The library and museum is now the most comprehensive collection displaying original and printed comics and cartoon art in the world, according to the museum’s website. “The cartoon library is one of those gems that is perhaps better known outside Columbus than it is here,” said Jared Gardner, a professor of English and film at Ohio State. “For a long time now, the library has used the festival as a way of bringing together the larger community from the comics world to celebrate their shared passion for this unique form.” The festival will also include presentations by cartoon and comic creators, including Matt Groening, creator of Emmy Award-winning series “The Simpsons” and the comic “Life in Hell.”
Gardner said limited space for events and exhibitions is one of the bigger problems the library has faced outside of the festival. The first day of the festival will consist of panels in which scholars of comics and cartoons discuss different academic approaches to the field. Gardner has been teaching and researching comics for more than a decade and will give a presentation about the “School of Herriman” and the birth of “Krazy Kat,” which were created by cartoonist George Herriman, in the Ohio Union. Friday’s festival activities will take place in the Wexner Center and feature presentations by speakers, including Dave Kellett, creator of the daily webcomic “Sheldon,” and Dan Piraro, creator of “Bizarro.” “For those that love them, comics are one of the few mass media art forms that can present the singular vision of one artist working unfiltered,” Kellett said. “It is not an accident that Hollywood is constantly scouting comics.” On Saturday, there will be a panel dedicated to late King Features Syndicate editor Jay Kennedy. King Features Syndicate is one of the world’s largest distributors of comics for newspapers. “I’ll be talking about how Jay Kennedy’s life and
career intertwined with mine over the years and about his contribution to the comic world,” said Bill Griffith, creator of “Zippy the Pinhead” in an e-mail. “His huge comic collection is now a part of the OSU Cartoon Research Library.” There will also be a retrospective on the work of Billy Ireland, a Columbus Dispatch cartoonist from 1898-1935, at William Oxley Thompson Library. Saturday will conclude with “An Evening with Matt Groening.” The creator of the longest-running American primetime entertainment series, “The Simpsons,” will discuss his career in comics and television with writer Tom Gammill. The final day of the festival, Sunday, will include a presentation by Art Spiegelman. He was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 1992 for “Maus,” a graphic novel depicting the history of with his father and his father’s experiences as a Jew in Nazi Germany. “We are fortunate in the happy coincidence that Art Spiegelman is an artist-in-residence at the Wexner Center this year and we were able to coordinate his presentation with the festival,” Gardner said. “He helped make comics visible as a serious art form.”

Antony shows signs of life “Swanlights” Antony and the Johnsons
Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu Antony and The Johnsons fit well into the classification of “Baroque pop” and they’ll fit well into “Romantic pop” and any other hybrids of classical and pop genres critics come up with. The Johnsons define Baroque pop, a genre consisting of orchestral compositions and instruments within pop music. The group uses classical instruments including piano, violin and cello, while guitar, bass (electric) and drums provide the occasional modern influence. Antony Hegarty, the pianist and vocalist of the group, has a mellow yet theatrical voice that can fool the listener into thinking every song is a depressing one. Perhaps having heard this before, Hegarty provides more upbeat tracks than on the band’s previous album, “The Crying Light,” which won the Barclaycard Mercury Prize (England’s album of the year). On “Ghost,” the piano is shockingly upbeat for a song coming from The Johnsons. The first single, “Thank You For Your Love,” is downright ambling, the piano accompanied by horns. The two tracks provide nice breaks from the less jumpy tracks on the record — which are the rest of them. Hegarty’s mellow style
accompanies his slow piano playing in a way that could easily lull a listener to sleep. This is not necessarily a complaint, but the two buoyant tracks serve as intermissions for the audience. “Fletta” follows The Johnson’s traditional pace, but guest vocalist Bjork livens it up. Hegarty provides a soft vocal harmony, but the Icelandic icon is clearly at the head. Hegarty’s piano is the only instrumental accompaniment for the track. The title track and the closer, “Christina’s Farm,” are soothing and well-written, and although the more upbeat tracks are a nice break from the norm, the other six songs aren’t as ear-catching as similar tracks on “The Crying Light.” The Johnsons could attract more listeners by adding more cheery tracks, but it might cost them some indie cred.
Behind bars but on game “i Am not A human Being” lil Wayne
Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu Lil Wayne might be incarcerated at the moment (this week’s news revealed he had been moved to solitary confinement), but he still manages to put out new music. Pretty good music in fact. Wayne (Dwayne Carter) recorded every track on “I Am Not A Human Being” before being arrested on weapons charges, with the intention of putting them on a teaser EP for his 2011 album, “Tha Carter IV.” His arrest might have prolonged the work on “Carter” because “Human Being” is now a 10-track album. One complaint that has been leveled against the record is that the production is underwhelming and rushed. Critics are right; the production is both. This is to be expected, considering the artist is in prison. Is that really a bad thing in his case? The most mainstream of Weezy’s fans adore singles like “A Milli” off his official albums, but hip-hop connoisseurs all point to his EPs and mix tapes as highlights of his work. Some artists write great lyrics and have great beats to boot, but that’s not Lil Wayne’s style. When he has time to
Sufjan goes long in return “Age of Adz” Sufjan Stevens
Ryan Book Arts editor book.15@osu.edu
plan a song out, it sounds forced. When he’s given a microphone and lets go, his stream of consciousness approach provides the most quality results. He is like the “Family Guy” of hip-hop; his constant pop culture references and tangents aren’t logical, but they sure are fun. In the uncomfortably titled “Gonorrhea,” he references NBA player Paul Pierce, Britney Spears and the viral “two girls” video. Nine of the songs feature guest performers. Three of the songs feature Drake. Lil Wayne is wasting his time here. Drake is competent, but the rest of the guests do nothing for the album. Wayne is in his element on the album, so he could have come up with something better. “I Am Not A Human Being” is under-produced, and Lil Wayne is behind bars, but his lyrical ability is over the moon.
Sufjan Stevens hadn’t put out a new album of original material since 2005’s “Illinois,” until releasing an EP and an album this year. He has done an album of outtakes from “Illinois,” a Christmas compilation and a music-motion-picture hybrid in the last five years. The latter rubbed off on his newest release, “The Age of Adz.” At nearly 75 minutes, “Adz” comes in at the length of a short motion picture. This is not a complaint by itself, but most of the songs are long as well. “Impossible Soul” takes up the final 25:35 on the album, a short film unto itself. Long albums are easier to digest if they’re broken up into more tracks. Concepts or obvious themes help as well. Mastodon fit seven songs into a 50-minute album last year and kept the listener’s attention by providing a story line. The lack of an anchor for listeners to latch onto makes listening to the entire new Stevens album in one fell swoop difficult. That being said, Stevens clearly put the work into his epic. Stevens’ folk influences come through, but the majority of the album uses classical orchestration and a heavy load of electronics for the music. These three elements are impressively
layered so that they mesh together nicely. There are no official singles from the album, and that’s appropriate because none of the songs stand out as a clear single. Two songs stand out because of the increase in action as the song progresses. “Vesuvius” features vocal harmonies chiming in along with Stevens during the hook and in “I Want to Be Well,” Stevens goes as far as to say “f---.” Instrumentally, it’s an exciting album from Stevens. But the length makes it a tough listen. Sufjan fans are used to the long songs, so it won’t be an issue. Others, not so much.
