Republicans in Ohio redrew new congressional district lines that resulted in the loss of a Democratic district. Gerrymandering is when the lines drawn for congressional districts favor one party over another. Ohio’s new winding, curving districts are a perfect example. Ohio faced a difficult redistricting process this year because the state lost two seats in the House of Representatives. Eighteen districts have been redrawn to fit 16 districts in the state. Not everyone is happy with the new districts. Professor of political science at Ohio State Richard Gunther gave a testimony against the plan at the Ohio Senate Government Oversight and Reform Committee meeting on Sept. 20. “This plan is the most grotesque partisan gerrymander that I, as a political scientist, had ever seen,” Gunther said. “It should either be rejected by the Ohio Senate or the courts, or overruled in a referendum by the citizens of this state, who deserve better.” In his testimony, Gunther listed four criteria that are “crucial for the proper functioning of democracy:” community preservation, geographical compactness, competitiveness and fairness in representation. The new districts, Gunther said, fail

Gerrymandering is the process of redrawing congressional district lines in favor of one political party over another. In Ohio, this was the case when 18 congressional districts were reduced to 16 after the 2010 census. Republican party members are in support of the newly drawn lines, while members of the Democratic party oppose it. One Democratic seat was eliminated in the process.

Asher, however, said he believes the failure lies in the system used to draw the districts in Ohio. “We could have had a better, less partisan system today,” Asher said. “We’ve had opportunities to change it, but we haven’t. We haven’t been successful.” Asher said blaming the Republicans is not the

solution because the Democrats would have done the same thing if they were the party in charge. “They try to draw district lines to benefit their party: Pack as many members of the minority party into a smaller number of districts,” Asher said. “That’s wasteful, you don’t need that much to win.“ Gerrymandering, according to Gunther, makes districts less competitive, and therefore, more

A new web-based application designed specifically for Buckeyes is attempting to take some hassle out of going to the doctor. My BuckMD is attempting to make medical care access easier for students. The My BuckMD connection is a secure link between Ohio State students and Student Health Services. Currently, students can cancel and view appointments, receive test results, submit health forms and receive secure communications from Student Health Services staff. My BuckMD was launched in June 2011 and is free for students. To sign up for these services, students fill out a basic consent form and present a photo identification at the Wilce Student Health Center, Health Information Services located on the ground floor. Accounts become active by the end of the next business day after the forms are completed. Melissa Ames, the health information manager at Student Health Services, described the new system as an option for students who prefer to do things online. “Email is a preferred means of communication for students, however it isn’t always secure,” Ames said. “My BuckMD connection is secure messaging through HIPAA-compliant technologies. It permits effective communications to our patients without leaving confidential or non-specific messages on voicemails, or with family or roommates.” The Health Insurance Portability and Affordability Act, or HIPAA, Privacy Rule “protects the privacy of individually identifiable health information,” according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website.

LEONARDO CARRIZO / For the Lantern

The link also features a blog called Ask BuckMD for students to pose general health, nutrition, dental, optometry or wellness related topic questions. All of the questions are answered on the blog, which is maintained by Dr. John Vaughn, a doctor at the Wilce Student Health Center. Lauren Levi, a first-year in pharmaceutical science, said she has never used Student Health Services, but would probably use this feature if she got really sick. “I would use it if I needed immediate care,” Levi said. “I have a cold right now; maybe if it turned into

something worse I would look into it.” According to Student Health Services, 3,929 students had enrolled in the health portal as of Tuesday morning. The Student Health Services My BuckMD Connection Patient Guide urges students to not share their passwords for the system with anyone, but ensures that the site is secure. The patient guide also reminds students that while the online services are available, My BuckMD Connection is not a substitute for traditional medical care.

Block ‘O’ shows inner soccer hooligan NICHOLAS DVORSCAK Lantern reporter dvorscak.2@osu.edu Play like Connor today. The Block “O” organization has adopted this motto for their cheering section for Ohio State men’s soccer games. The motto pays homage to Connor Senn, a walk-on freshman who passed away during a September 2001 match against Akron. “We wanted to do something that meant something to the school,” said Jamie Buehler, Soccer Coordinator for Block “O.” This marks the first year that Block “O” has had cheering sections for men’s and women’s soccer Buehler said. “At the Louisville and Michigan men’s games we had to turn people away,” Buehler said. Buehler said that during the Michigan game, it was evident that the Michigan players noticed the cheering section. “It was cool to see us getting at the Michigan players,” Buehler said. “One player made gestures toward us after he scored.” On Sept. 28 the group traveled to Akron to support the men’s team in their game against one of the nation’s top-ranked teams. “The effort they made to travel to Akron was unbelievable,” said John Bluem, the men’s soccer head coach. “The guys really like it.”

It was the first trip to an away men’s game that Block “O” has organized. Buehler said that about 90 people traveled to the game. “To get two buses full of people was surprising,” Buehler said. “You could still hear us over Akron’s huge section.” While the trip was successful, Buehler said that it is the only men’s road game that they are planning on attending this year. Buehler said that the group has seen better numbers at the men’s games compared to the women’s games. Despite this, volunteer assistant coach for the women’s team Spencer Bownas still notices the contributions from the cheering section. “Games are so long, athletes can get so tired, but when you hear constant support, it reenergizes the players,” Bownas said. “It helps to have that 12th man.” Sophomore midfielder Danica Wu also appreciates what the group has done. “It gives people a chance to get involved,” Wu said. “I think it’s great for support.” Buehler said the big event Block “O” is organizing for the women’s team will be for the game on senior night, Oct. 30, against Indiana. “We don’t have a trip planned for the women’s games officially, but some of us may travel to some games with a group,” Buehler said. The cheering section can be found directly behind the goal for all of the Big Ten conference men’s games and the women’s game on senior night.

campus Students borrow books to save a buck STEPHANIE KARIUKI Lantern reporter kariuki.2@osu.edu With the price of textbooks constantly on the rise, more students are turning to renting books as a cheaper option to the quarterly hassle. General manager for Buckeye Books, Chuck Evans, said the amount of students renting books has increased since they started offering rentals about a year ago. Evans said he thought it was a good idea for students to rent textbooks. “It is less money up front,” Evans said. “Unless they are planning on keeping the books.” Andrew Gordon, general manager for UBX Book Exchange, agreed that rental book sales are increasing, but said there are still a lot of people who prefer to buy books. Kevin Porter, a third-year in respiratory therapy, said he had never thought about renting his books.

“I don’t think it’s a bad idea, but I don’t think it’s some great idea either,” Porter said. Porter said he thinks a main reason why some students do not rent textbooks is because there is poor advertising. Evans said he tries to prevent this by increasing in store advertisement to remind customers of the renting possibility, even while they are buying books. However, Taylor Baum, a second-year in radiologic sciences and therapy, said she never really knew about renting books. Baum said it is a good idea that can save her money in the future. “It is worthwhile because sometimes you try to sell your books back and they won’t take (them),” Baum said. Evans said renting textbooks is a good way to save money on one of the biggest expenses for a college student. “An extra dollar in the bank account can be more helpful down the road,” Evans said.

ANDI HENDRICKSON Lantern reporter hendrickson@osu.edu Open containers There were 27 open container violations on campus Saturday Oct. 1, according to OSU Police reports. The Ohio Revised Code 4301.62 regulated where open containers of beer or intoxicating liquor are prohibited, according to the Ohio Department of Commerce’s website. Open containers are prohibited in any public place in Ohio. All of these open container violations occurred on campus during, before and after OSU’s home football game against Michigan State. Drug paraphernalia Two Ohio State students were arrested for possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia at the Lane Ave. Parking Garage on Oct. 3.

Thousands of protesters fill the lawn of the State House Tuesday March 8, 2011 in Columbus, Ohio in protest of Senate Bill 5 and Gov. John Kasich’s State of the State address

Many Ohioans changed their stance on Senate Bill 5, but the question hits closer to home when it comes to those going into education. SB 5 is an overhaul of a collective bargaining law which gave public employees, such as firefighters and teachers, the right to bargain for their wages, hours, working conditions and benefits. A poll from Quinnipiac University on Sept. 27, found that 51 percent of voters want to repeal the SB 5, against 38 percent that do not want to appeal it. In July, 56 percent of Ohio voters wanted to appeal SB 5, while only 32 percent did not. Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said in a press release that the public opinion has changed drastically since July. “Support for repealing the bill in the November referendum has dropped from a 24-point to a 13-pont margin,” Brown said. “Backers of SB 5 have only six weeks to make up the difference, although public

Bike thefts Four bicycles were reported stolen from campus locations on Sept. 29, Sept. 30, Oct. 2 and Oct. 3 in unrelated incidents. The thefts occurred at the Neil Ave. Complex, University Hospital, Canfield Hall and Baker Systems Engineering Building, respectively. The OSU police website suggests bicycle riders use multiple O- or U-shaped locks and move parked bicycles frequently to prevent theft. Bicycle registration is free at Blankenship Hall. A registered bicycle is more likely to be found or returned if stolen, according to the OSU police website.

could encourage test focused teaching. opinion appears to be moving in their direction.” SB 5 has caused controversy in the state, enough to put the issue up for voters to decide in November. On March 31, when SB 5 was signed into law by Gov. John Kasich, Kasich said SB 5 is important for Ohio’s economy. “With some of the highest taxes in the country, Ohio is struggling to create a climate that is attractive to the businesses that create jobs,” Kasich said in the press release in March. “Helping local governments reduce their costs so they can begin lightening Ohio’s tax burden helps us compete better against states that are far friendlier to job-creators.” Students going into the fields affected by SB 5 have a more personal view of the bill than many Ohioans. Lindsey Epperly, a fourth-year in human development and family science with a specialization in early childhood education, said she didn’t know a lot about SB 5 but had conversations on it with her parents who are both teachers. “(SB 5) affects how I feel about my future as an educator,” Epperly said. With SB 5 in place, Epperly said she doesn’t think she’d want to work in Ohio and has put in an application for Teach For America, opting to work in other states. “With the union-busting that Gov. Kasich is trying to do, I feel as though it’s going to negatively affect everyone who works for the government because we won’t have protection from administrators, we will

districts,” Thompson said. Thompson said because of Ohio’s influence in presidential elections as a swing state, the new districts might have some impact next year, even with losing two electoral votes. “You could say we’re weaker, but there’s only half a dozen states that are really up for grabs, and Ohio is one of them,” Thompson said. “So that’s why you’ll have lots of presidential candidates visiting Ohio State and Columbus.” Asher said though there is little that can be done about the current plan, the next redistricting in 2021 could be done using different methods. “We have gerrymandering, but gerrymandering is not illegal,” Asher said. “As long as the districts meet population equality, as long as they are contiguous, you can then draw some pretty funny-looking lines.”

be able to be fired for basically no reason,” Epperly said. “There’s not going to be tenure, there won’t be unions to go against salaries if there’s any dispute about salaries.” Epperly is concerned about limits to collective bargaining rights in SB 5. Samuel Payler, who graduated in August 2011 with a degree in middle childhood education, said SB 5 initially sounded like a terrible idea but that it doesn’t sound as bad as it did at first after reading up on the bill more. “I still have major concerns with the implementation of some of the provisions, especially pertaining to performance-based compensation and salaries for teachers,” Payler said. “There’s really no fair and accurate way to measure the performance of a teacher.” Paylor said SB 5 can take away from a professional environment, and that it could detract from the education. Jessica Rudolph, a first-year graduate student in math education, first heard about SB 5 as an undergraduate at Ohio State in an educational fraternity. Rudolph discovered the provision on merit pay, and did not agree with that aspect of SB 5. “You can’t always measure a class, you can’t measure the motivation level of a student,” Rudolph said. Rudolph said merit pay would make teachers start to teach toward tests, when in reality, students need to know more than just content. Rudolph said students need to learn strategies and how the information applies to the real world. “(Teaching is) still a passion of mine,” Rudolph said. “I don’t want to let one bill or one law stop me from doing something that I love.”

student voice New developments could ruin ‘Arrested’ for loyal fans LANTERN Columnist MATT KRAUS kraus.86@osu.edu Since it was canceled back in 2006, “Arrested Development” has amassed one of the largest — or at least most vocal — cult followings in television history. Many critics and fans rightfully call it one of the greatest network comedies ever made and have spent the five years since its demise demanding more. Last weekend, these fans got the news they wanted. Creator Mitch Hurwitz announced that he was not only working on an “Arrested Development” movie, but also 10 new episodes to

serve as a prologue. Former cast members Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Tony Hale took to Twitter to confirm the claim. There’s just one problem with this news: it doesn’t actually mean this is going to happen. Hurwitz and his cast have been promising more “Arrested Development” since the moment it was canceled five years ago. By the time this movie comes out (allegedly 2013) it will have been seven years since the show ended. Ultimately, this announcement is just another example of Hurwitz kicking the can down the road. It provides a clearer picture of what he wants to accomplish, but it doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen. No studios have stepped up to pay for the endeavor. Hurwitz is going to need money. He doesn’t have it right now, and there’s no sign that he ever will. And that is not the only question “Arrested Development” fans should be asking. The better question is whether any more of this beloved show is actually a good idea. While it is true that the show

did not last long enough – it only lasted 53 episodes while “Two and a Half Men” still trudges along at 180 episodes and counting – many would argue that cancellation spared us all the moment when it would inevitably decline in quality. “Arrested Development” was forced out while fans could still remember it fondly. If Hurwitz does bring the show back, there’s a distinct possibility that it will disappoint. If that is the case, would it be worth it? In this writer’s opinion, it would not. Right now, “Arrested Development” is nearly-perfect, with a reputation that can only be tarnished by additional episodes and a movie. Plus, Hurwitz’s post-“Development” work hasn’t been too promising. He created two series (“Sit Down, Shut Up” and “Running Wilde”) that were quickly tossed aside, along with a couple of pilots which never even got off the ground. This suggests that more “Arrested Development” might wind up as the “Star Wars” prequels of comedy, a misfire that angers fans more than

Those who celebrated this weekend’s news would wind up questioning why this project ever came to fruition.

The joy of “Arrested Development” is that it never got the chance to disappoint, so it’s strange that Hurwitz seems intent

on leaving this ominous door open. When you have a property as close to perfect as this, further tinkering can only be a mistake.

Restore OSU’s ‘Excellence,’ give Herron, Posey the boot embarrassment continued on Monday afternoon as Posey and Herron furthered their current five-game suspensions by accepting money that they didn’t earn. Posey earned $720 more than he should have, while Herron pocketed close to an extra $300. Offensive lineman Marcus Hall was also overpaid by $225, but he didn’t have the shameful track record of Posey and Herron. If you need a refresher on Posey and Herron’s actions involving tattoos, welcome back from your coma. You have a lot to catch up on. Posey and Herron – both seniors, keep in mind – were part of a group

that brought shame upon the university, forcing former OSU head coach Jim Tressel to step down long before his tenure should have been over and throwing Luke Fickell and Braxton Miller into positions they weren’t ready for and aren’t handling well. In order to begin the process of re-establishing the integrity and pride that OSU was built on, the team has no choice to kick Posey and Herron off the team. Do it now and don’t come out and act sad about seeing them leave. Show no mercy, show no regrets and send a message that every football player or potential football player who steps on to OSU’s campus won’t forget

any time in the near future. Could the team use the weapons for the rest of the season? Of course. But in the long run, the university as a whole needs to take a step in the right direction and begin its journey back to being one of the most reputable and successful programs in the country. A message needs to be sent. The integrity this football program was built on needs to be re-established. Restore “The Tradition,” return “The Pride” and reinstate “The Excellence.” The easiest way to make that happen? Release the dishonest and remove the corrupt.

Feel the ground shaking? That’s Woody Hayes rolling in his grave. After being involved in one of the biggest scandals in the history of the school that already constantly showers them with free merchandise and gives them a superior education in exchange for their athletic skills, Devier Posey and Daniel “Boom” Herron obviously don’t get it. The school gives them the opportunity to make a lifelong dream come true — all they have to do is put in a little time and effort.

Luke Fickell went from being a linebackers coach to Ohio State’s head football coach, but he is now facing criticism from many fans who are upset after OSU’s 2 losses so far this season.

Fickell may not be the person to bring OSU football back to its former glory

Wednesday October 5, 2011

PATRICK MAKS maks.1@osu.edu

LANTERN Columnist

Luke Fickell is like a single mother trying to balance working a full-time job while raising a reprobate of a child who seemingly gets himself into one mess after the other. Except in Fickell’s case, he has 120 children. And each and every one of those children happen to be exceptionally big, fast and strong football players. And his job happens to be the head football coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes. Not to mention, the climate for such a massive undertaking couldn’t possibly be worse (knock on wood). So to say that there’s a lot of weight on the 38-year-old’s shoulders is probably a vast understatement and gross cliché. I don’t need to explain to you what OSU football means to Ohioans. Spend more than 20 minutes in Columbus and you’ll be classically conditioned like one of Pavlov’s dogs to say “I-O” whenever you hear an “O-H.” Football Saturdays in Columbus aren’t just something to do — it’s what you do. I don’t need to explain, then, that fans expect the Buckeyes to compete for a National Championship every year. Five games in and this isn’t possibly how fans, or even

Fickell, envisioned his inaugural year as coach. Perhaps the team was just having a difficult time adjusting to its new leader and new faces on the depth chart. The Michigan State game was an opportunity to turn the ship around and “silence the doubters.” Maybe a Big Ten Championship was still in reach. For a team in desperate need of a shot of confidence, it was make-it-orbreak-it time. Unfortunately for OSU, the Buckeyes broke in a loss that only worked to showcase a number of fatal weaknesses, most notably an inept offense that wasn’t able to put a single point on the board until the final 10 seconds of the game. The boos from the fans are justified. Critique of the play calling is certainly justified. I’ll even go so far as to say that talk of Fickell being “one-and-done” is justified. But remember, Fickell didn’t ask to be placed in this mess — he was thrown into the fire. In the last nine months or so, he went from being a linebackers coach to the head coach of a perennial BCS bowl team. Just because you’re a chef at a five-star restaurant doesn’t mean you are qualified to run the actual establishment on your own. Let’s not be foolish. This isn’t the OSU of 2002, 2006 or

even last year. This isn’t a Jim Tressel team where one loss didn’t capsize the entire season. There isn’t a Craig Krenzel, Troy Smith, or AJ Hawk on the 2011 Buckeyes’ roster. Fickell was given the keys to a used Ferrari that at one point was the greatest in its class. Deep, intricate scandal has tarnished what used to be a thing of beauty. This isn’t your older brother’s Ohio State, but it’s still Ohio State — it still works. It’ll take a lot of work to get OSU football back to what it used to be, and even though Fickell is doing the best he can with what he has, maybe it’s not his destiny to be the coach who brings it back to life.

Jake Edwards (bib 231) running at the 2010 Big Ten Cross Country Championship hosted by the University of Wisconsin at the Zimmer Championship Cross Country Course.

Ohio State’s men’s cross country runner Jake Edwards has struggled to perform for periods throughout his career as a Buckeye, but his struggles stem from issues far beyond any race course. A redshirt senior, Edwards has dealt with a multitude of injuries throughout his time as a Buckeye. “I feel like I’ve barely run,” Edwards said. “I’ve only ran about five or six cross-country races outside of this year for Ohio State.” Mononucleosis and two stress fractures, among other injuries, prevented Edwards from consistently contributing to OSU’s cross country team until his junior season. The 2010 season was the first time Edwards ran at the Big Ten championships, and he placed 22nd. Not being able to compete on a regular basis was hard for Edwards, but also for Robert Gary, OSU’s head coach. “It’s been tough to keep him healthy,” Gary said. “He really hasn’t run a lot of cross-country races.” Edwards came to OSU after running cross country and track at Delaware Hayes High School, where he was a state champion in the indoor 1,600meter and a top-ten finisher at the 2006 Ohio Cross Country Championship. Attending OSU was an easy choice. “I grew up rooting for Ohio State,” Edwards said. “OSU was kind of a dream school. Coach Gary is a bit of a legacy, he’s a two-time Olympian. You can’t do much better than having an Olympian as coach.” While his time running cross country for OSU has not been easy, Edwards started the 2011 season healthy as the team’s No. 1 runner. At the season opener, the 6.4K Mountaineer Open in North Carolina, Edwards led the Buckeyes to a first-place team finish. He took home his first individual title as well, finishing in 19:28.1. “It was fun. Coach wanted us to get out hard and that’s what we did,” Edwards said. “After two miles I

hit the front and it was really smooth.” His coach was happy to see it. “I thought he looked really good there and it was really exciting,” Gary said. Following the meet, Edwards was named Big Ten Runner of the Week. “It’s a nice honor. It’s just good that we get a little recognition within the Big Ten,” Edwards said. At the team’s next meet, the Notre Dame Invitational in South Bend, Ind., Edwards injured his hamstring, and dropped out of the race around the four-mile mark of a nearly five-mile race. After being fully healthy for many months, the experience was something Edwards said he would like to forget. “It’s almost like a nightmare,” Edwards said. “As individual of a sport running is, it’s still pretty teamoriented, and you just feel disappointed letting down your teammates when you can’t finish.” Edwards said he expects to be ready to go for the team’s next meet, the Wisconsin Adidas Invitational on Oct. 14. The team needs him to be healthy if they want to achieve their goals, which Edwards said are to finish in the top three at the Big Ten championships and qualifying for the NCAA championships. Edwards’ teammate, and roommate for four years, redshirt senior Taylor Williams, said OSU needs him to run well if they are going to be successful at the end of the season. “As a team we always try to make the national meet,” Williams said. “That really requires having five guys running well at those races. Jake is definitely one of those five guys, he’s one of the most talented runners on the team.” Edwards said he hopes that will happen. “I think it’s important for us as a team to have one or two guys in the top 10 at the Big Ten meet, so that’s where I’d like to be,” he said. Gary agreed. “When Jake is really on, he’s probably a little better than everyone else,” he said.

Quick hits: Midweek news, notes for Buckeye football Tyler Robinson and Pat Brennan Lantern reporter and sports editor robinson.1063@osu.edu and brennan.164@osu.edu DeVier Posey and Dan Herron Receiver DeVier Posey and running back Dan Herron, both seniors, were expected to return from five-game suspensions this week. However, both players’ suspensions will be extended at least one more game because of additional violations, as announced by OSU athletic director Gene Smith on Monday. First-year head coach Luke Fickell said that neither player is in danger of being dismissed from the team as of yet. “This is still something that’s undergoing and I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t have all of the information that they are going through probably just as of yet. Not that I’ve seen anything that we wouldn’t want a guy around right now.” Reinforcements arrive for the offensive line Unlike Posey and Herron, left tackle Mike Adams is back for OSU. Beyond that, Adams is listed as a starter for Buckeyes’ offensive line on Saturday against Nebraska. Adams’ arrival will be a welcome sight for his fellow linemates, who allowed nine sacks against Michigan State last Saturday. Injury Updates Redshirt freshman receiver Verlon Reed, tied for second on the Buckeyes in receptions, has a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season, Fickell said. The banged-up receiving corps should be aided by the return of sophomore Corey “Philly” Brown this week, after he missed the last three games with a lower leg injury. “We’ll see how he runs around out there (Tuesday),” Fickell said. “Hopefully he’ll be all right.” Fickell said he is doubtful senior defensive lineman Nathan Williams will play this Saturday. Senior defensive end Solomon Thomas, who is returning from his five-game suspension this week, is not listed on the two-deep depth chart. However, Fickell said he expects Thomas to see playing time on Saturday, but did note that he is coming back from a broken leg in the Spring Game. Captaincy carousel slowing down Familiar faces are emerging among OSU’s weekly picks for game captains. Senior center Mike Brewster will make his third appearance as a Buckeyes’ game captain on Saturday against Nebraska. Linebacker Andrew Sweat and defensive back Tyler Moeller are each making their second stint as captains.

First-year OSU head coach Luke Fickell readies to lead the Buckeyes onto the Long leash for Braxton Miller Fickell said freshman quarterback Braxton Miller will not have a “short hook” if he struggles against the No. 14-ranked Nebraska on Saturday. “We don’t want a guy going in thinking that by any means,” Fickell said. “Braxton is the guy that right now is our starting quarterback, and you know, I would think hook-wise, we don’t want him to ever think that.” Miller was pulled from last Saturday’s game against Michigan State at the end of the third quarter and replaced by redshirt senior Joe Bauserman. Kickoff for the Buckeyes’ game at Nebraska is set for 8 p.m. and will be televised on ABC.

William Buford (44), Jared Sullinger (0) and Aaron Craft (4) are on the preseason John Wooden Award watch list.

Ohio State basketball senior guard William Buford, sophomore forward Jared Sullinger and sophomore guard Aaron Craft were named to the preseason John Wooden Award watch list, according to a Monday athletic department release. Student-athletes’ eligibility for the Wooden Award is also dependent on their academic performance as players must maintain at least a cumulative 2.0 GPA. In an email to The Lantern, athletic department spokesman Dan Wallenberg said, “Having our student athletes nominated for the premier award in college basketball is certainly an honor. William, Jared and Aaron have demonstrated the characteristics Wooden exemplified.” Sullinger is familiar with the Wooden

Award proceedings and was a finalist for the award last year. Sullinger averaged 17.2 points per game and 10.2 rebounds per game to help lead the Buckeyes on their most recent NCAA tournament run. Buford, the lone senior on the Buckeyes’ roster, averaged 14.4 points during the 2010-11 campaign while Craft scored 6.9 points per game and 4.8 assists per game. Last season, OSU finished with a 34-3 record and claimed both the Big Ten’s regular season and tournament championships. The Buckeyes’ NCAA tournament run came to an end with a 62-60 loss to Kentucky in the Sweet 16. OSU, which lost its incoming freshman No. 1 recruit LaQuinton Ross after he was ruled academically ineligible on Sept. 26, will tip-off its regular season on Nov. 11 at 9 p.m. against Wright State at the Schottenstein Center.

Latest basketball game from 2K Sports nets a triple-double

Check our review of ‘NBA 2K12,’ the latest chapter in the popular NBA video game franchise, released Monday.

Apple announced their next iPhone on Tuesday, the iPhone 4S. The phone will be available for pre-order on Oct. 7 and will be released on Oct. 14 on the AT&T, Verizon and Sprint networks. Here’s a breakdown of its features. Cloud

Design The iPhone 4S features essentially the same design as the iPhone 4. The only minor difference is that the iPhone 4S will weigh 140 grams, whereas the iPhone 4 weighed 137 grams.

Apple’s cloud software, iCloud, will be introduced in iOS5, and can sync all of your documents, photos and so on, so they can be shared across Apple devices.

*iPhone 4 will start at $99 when the iPhone 4S is released.

concerts wednesday

Camera One of the biggest upgrades is the move from the iPhone 4’s fivemegapixel camera to the 4S’s eightmegapixel camera. The camera is also capable of shooting 1080p video with image stabilization, an upgrade from the 720p capabilities on the iPhone 4. It will retain the front-facing camera and rear flash but is supposed to have improved light sensitivity.

Battery life The iPhone 4S is a minor upgrade in battery life, being able to handle eight hours of 3G talk time, compared to only seven hours on the iPhone 4.

Operating system

Paper Diamond 7 p.m. @ The Basement Richard Thompson 8 p.m. @ Southern Theatre Athena 9 p.m. @ Skully’s

The iPhone 4S will come loaded with iOS 5, Apple’s new operating system, which will be available to download free on Oct. 12. IOS 5 will include a revamped notification and reminder system, as well as “Newsstand,” which will aggregate publications from news outlets, and Twitter (though not Facebook) integration, among other new features.

Storage

Display There’s no real upgrade in the iPhone 4S display. The screen is still 3.5 inches, which is smaller than the 4.3-inch screens on other smartphones similar in quality to the iPhone. It will retain the “Retina Display” and 640-by320 resolution of the iPhone 4.

Processor

The iPhone 4S will be available in 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB models. The iPhone 4 was only available in 16 GB and 32 GB models.

The iPhone 4S will feature an Apple A5 dual-core processor, an upgrade from the iPhone 4’s A4 single-core processor. Using the same processor as the iPad 2, Apple says the iPhone 4S will be seven times faster than its predecessor, which will be a welcome upgrade for gamers.

Siri

Lecrae 7 p.m. @ Newport Music Hall Mac Miller 7 p.m. @ LC Pavilion Passafire 8 p.m. @ The Basement

friday

The big draw to the iPhone 4S is Siri, a state-of-the-art voice-control system. In Apple’s iPhone 4S marketing video, users are seen asking Siri to remind them to do things when they get home, where certain restaurants are and can basically control everything for which you would use your phone. Since there was no major redesign on this iPhone, Siri functionality, which is available exclusively on the iPhone 4S, is the phone’s big hook.

Antenna After complaints about the poor performance of the iPhone 4’s antenna, Apple says the iPhone 4S will not only get better reception, but feature support for both CDMA (Verizon and Sprint) and GSM (AT&T) signals, meaning one device will work for customers on all three networks and virtually all networks worldwide.

Nearly five decades after he debuted as a songwriter, guitarist and co-founder of the folk-rock band Fairport Convention, Richard Thompson, continues to work on his track record, but this time as a solo artist. Accompanied by featuring artist and poetsongwriter, Pieta Brown, Thompson will bring his tour to the Southern Theatre Wednesday at 8 p.m. Rich Corsi, the Columbus Association for Performing Arts director of programming, said that CAPA has worked with Thompson and his band since the 1990s and expects to hear new material from the artist that has yet to be released. “He has songs that he has never played live before, that lot of the different cities (he) is playing at, will actually get to hear,” Corsi said. In addition to presenting his latest work, Thompson will randomly select four songs from his past 17 albums and will perform them at different tour locations, Corsi said. Thompson will tour through February 2012 and will make stops in Cincinnati, New York, Portland and Miami, among others. Among several rock artists, Thompson was recognized as a recipient of the Orville H. Gibson Best Acoustic Guitar Award, the Ivor Novello Award and has worked with artists, Led Zeppellin, Robert Plant and Elvis Costello. Some of his recent work includes “Dream Attic” and the theatrical song “Cabaret of Souls” which was written for string orchestra. “He is a prolific songwriter that is very well respected in the music business,” Corsi said. Thompson is to bring not only his folk-rock style to the stage, but also his British and Celtic jazz influences that he has picked up over the years. David Holbrook, a third-year in English, said

Guitarist Richard Thompson is scheduled to perform at the Southern Theatre Wednesday at 8 p.m. that he will not attend because he had not heard of Richard Thompson. Although Rachel Richardson, a fourth-year in communication, will not attend the show, she is interested to hear about the artist and his music. “It sounds like something I would to go because of the genre he plays,” Richardson said.

Thompson was unavailable to comment. Tickets can be purchased at the Ohio Theatre ticket office. Tour dates and times can be found on richardthompson-music.com.

arts&life thelantern cdreviews Punk band finds new glory on 7th album Vanessa Spates Senior Lantern reporter spates.3@osu.edu Seven studio albums is an impressive feat for a punk rock band in a post-rock era. New Found Glory doesn’t let the state of the outside music world affect their latest album, “Radiosurgery.” The most interesting part about the album is how the band members incorporated each of their own painful memories into the songs, thus coming up with the album title, which is a type of surgery that removes tumors without needles. New Found Glory is probably the best at delivering pop-punk music, without straying into bubblegum rock. “Anthem for the Unwanted” is heartfelt but playful, really capturing what the band is about. They never take themselves too seriously. The most refreshing thing about each song is it’s short, sweet and to-the-point. The best song overall is “I’m Not the One.” It’s fast, loud and slaphappy. Listening to it elicits an unexpected smile. Despite the guys being in their thirties, they keep a youthful quality in the manic guitars and the fury of drums. The entire album is infectious and invokes a lot of heartbreak anthems that everyone can relate to.

“radiosurgery” new Found Glory

It’s rare in rock music to feature other artists on songs. It only works in rare cases, but in “Caught in the Act” featuring Bethany Cosentino, her voice lends sweetness among the energetic tempos. “Memories and Battle Scars” has the best lyric on the whole album: “I wanna kiss you so hard that your lips bleed.” The album tries to bring the old and the new together, remembering that to stay relevant in music today they have to deal with a much younger audience. But older fans don’t need to worry about them changing too much as the guys are pros at keeping current and relevant. After being around for 14 years, the boys of New Found Glory still know what they’re doing. This record is a much better effort than their last album. They took some chances and it paid off.

New album from Lights shines bright Vanessa Spates Senior Lantern reporter spates.3@osu.edu The soft, dream-like voice of Lights is back with her second studio album, “Siberia.” Lights is known for her synth-heavy sound and this album doesn’t disappoint. In “Where the Fence is Low,” she includes a bit of that bass drop that is so crucial in dubstep. The combination of gritty beats in tandem with her sweet, angelic voice is a match made in electronic-pop heaven. The album is like a fairy tale set in a winter wonderland, where Lights is the adventurous princess who’s looking for a good time outside the castle and possibly true love. The only anomaly in the flow of the album is the random faux rapper in the middle of “Everybody Breaks a Glass.” It throws the whole song off balance. “Day One” is a long and trance-inducing instrumental that you could listen to for three minutes before realizing how relaxed you are. There’s a sort of out-of-body experience that comes along with this song and the whole album. It’s very surreal, yet extremely impressive for such a young artist. If only artists like Lights could be more popular in the

“siberia” Lights

A-

U.S. like Katy Perry, Ke$ha and LMFAO. Sad songs like “Cactus in the Valley” deviate away from the heavy synth for a softer and more earnest sound. Her voice is very Tegan and Sara-esque and ethereal. This album is where experimentation actually works. She uses aspects of dubstep in a different way than most mainstream artists are doing right now. She actually incorporates the bass into the song, instead of just adding it for cheap effects. “Fourth Dimension” is a great example of that. “Siberia” is the epitome of musical experimentation and progression. Her long-time fans will be pleased, while still appealing to a new audience. She’s like an eight-layer ice cream cake you can’t stop eating.

MuteMath makes alternative style heard Vanessa Spates Senior Lantern reporter spates.3@osu.edu It’s a shame more people don’t know about MuteMath, the alternative rock band from New Orleans. The influence of their area is prevalent in their third studio album, “Odd Soul.” The replacement of their former guitarist with Todd Gummerman had a mild impact on their sound. The entire album sounds like a frenzied mashup of electric blues and garage rock. But there’s a blending of music in every song. Longtime fans of the band will either love this album or absolutely loathe it. The title track opens the album with a gut-wrenching wail very reminiscent of Howlin’ Wolf. It came as a surprise, since the band is well-known for a softer electronic sound. Many of the songs on the album sound an awful lot like demos from The Black Keys. The boys experimented with almost every track, gaining some successes and a lot of awkward failures. “All Or Nothing” sounds like an uncomfortable Justin Timberlake singing karaoke. As for “Sun Ray,” there was no singing at all, minus the wailing in the background. “Allies” is the lead vocalist,

“Odd soul” MuteMath

B+

Paul Meany’s, vocal high point. There’s a swagger in his voice that doesn’t exist anywhere else on the album. The best part about every song is the impeccable Darren King on drums. He may not know what’s going on but he sure does keep up and keep the songs alive. “Equals” sounds like bluesy, surfer rock if that makes any sense at all. That is exactly the point. None of the music on this album makes sense. Some songs are too long, like “Quarantine” and “In No Time” and they actually feel dragged out. The band hit the nail on the head with “Blood Pressure,” the overall best song in the bunch, which is also its new single. Because of its newfound mild fame from being the lead song in the “Twilight” films, it seems to be experimenting a little too much with a new sound to please new fans.

2K Sports’ ‘NBA 2K12’ was released Monday for PlayStation 3, XBox 360, PC, Wii, PlayStation 2 and PSP.

VIDEO GAME REVIEW

2K Sports swishes it with ‘NBA 2K12’ Pat Brennan Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu “NBA 2K11” was one of the great sports video games in history. The challenge for the game designers at 2K Sports was replicating that success in a year when the NBA is teetering on the edge of a lockout and season cancelation. The game suffers slightly as a result of the real-life grudge match between players and owners currently embroiled in a labor dispute — the incoming class of rookie players is not included in the game. That means Cleveland Cavaliers fans won’t be able to take on the league with new guard Kyrie Irving guiding the Cavs’ offense. What the game lacks in full rosters, it makes up for in details ranging from more exact depictions of the teams’ courts and jerseys to players’ individual physique. Oh, and their shoes too. Some basketball fans will appreciate the attention paid to these small details, which amount to a more enjoyable gaming experience. For gamers who like to exhaust offerings beyond simple gameplay, updates to the popular “My Player” mode will be a real thrill. You can sculpt a basketball player like the one you never evolved into, manage that player’s career and even hear commissioner David Stern call your name in the NBA Draft. Then, you can begin your career, sign a contract and seek endorsements. But when its just you and your friends competing for bragging rights in exhibition matches, you’ll shoot the ball with ease thanks to “2K12’s” Total Shot Stick Control, which allows you to showcase new shots and make it rain with a simple flick of your right stick.

“nBa 2K12” 2K sports

“2K12’s” greatest strength is, coincidentally, its Greatest Mode, which serves as a tribute to the past and a chance to experience the great NBA matchups of yesteryear. You can play as Larry Bird and take on Magic Johnson’s Los Angeles Lakers or play as Michael Jordan and reunite with Scottie Pippen. The gameplay and shot control in “NBA2K12” is smooth, though the defense is stifling at times. The only drawback to this game is the fact that real-life circumstances in the league have prevented exciting rookie players from being included. The 2012 installment of this game is every bit the thrill last’s year’s edition was. And hey, even if the NBA does avoid a lockout and have play the 2011-12 season, this game will likely be more exciting anyway.
