Ally Maro tti Lantern reporter marotti.5@osu.edu Tuesday night, Mirror Lake became a wading pool for thousands of students at Ohio State. Earlier in the day, it was a training ground for the Columbus Police Underwater Search and Recovery Team.

The diving team gets permission to use the lake with the stipulation that it clear as much debris as possible from the water.

“It’s two-fold. It allows us to do some cold-water diving,” said Sgt. Jeffrey Sacksteder of Columbus

Police. “It allows OSU to say that the lake is clear of any debris.”

In the past, debris recovered in Mirror Lake has included bicycles, grocery carts, a large stuffed chair and wedding rings.

“There’s always something in there,” said OSU Police dispatcher Jeffrey Hustak.

The team clears out the lake and recovers debris using a technique called grid training. Police lay down lines criss-crossing the lake, and a diver inspects the water one grid at a time.

“We use our hands and we feel for things,” Sacksteder said.

Divers Tuesday found cement blocks, beer

bottles and other flotsam. The training team consisted of about six officers, Sacksteder said, and about four went into the water. Divers trained under water from 8:30 to 9:15 a.m.

During Michigan Week last year, OSU let the Columbus Police dive team use Mirror Lake for joint training with the fire department dive team.

The Columbus Fire Department dive team was scheduled to dive between 1 and 4 p.m. Tuesday, but no one from the department arrived. Officials from the department were unavailable to comment.

Earthworks a site of ancient ceremonies molly gr ay Managing editor for design gray.557@osu.edu This Thanksgiving, friends and family will gather around tables to eat, drink and be merry. Parents and teachers might tell children about the first Thanksgiving.

But scholars, such as professor Richard Shiels, associate professor in history at the Ohio State Newark campus, contend that the story we hear in late November really wasn’t the first Thanksgiving at all.

For centuries, Native Americans traveled hundreds of miles to celebrate and give thanks for the harvest. One of their destinations is believed to have been the Newark Earthworks, a set of geometric earthen enclosures about 40 miles east of Columbus.

“There were people who celebrated the harvest long before Christopher Columbus,” said Shiels, who is also the director of the Newark Earthworks Center.

“Two thousand years ago, people were having these same types of feasts.”

The Great Circle, which is the centerpiece of the Newark Earthworks, is a four-square-mile, tree-lined plot of land enclosed by a ditch and, beyond that, a 14-foot-high wall. At the center is a mound made of soil, called the eagle mound.

The single-file line of 192 people unwinding to form “Ohio” for three-and-a-half minutes has become a fixture at Ohio State football games. But it has roots in the University of Michigan’s marching band history, too. “‘Script Ohio’ is very important to me and to the Buckeye nation,” said Jon Woods, director of the OSU Marching Band. “It is a signature of who we are as the state of Ohio and a university.”

The first time OSU’s marching band scrawled the state’s name in cursive — and dotted the “i” ­— was in 1936, said Tamar Chute, associate university archivist.

But that was not the first time a marching band spelled “Ohio” on the field. Four years earlier, in 1932, Michigan’s marching band performed at OSU’s stadium, Chute said. During the show, the

campus Thanksgiving dinner at Union expected to serve about 2,000 guests ANDrEA CHAffiN Lantern reporter chaffin.47@osu.edu Many students look forward to Thanksgiving break as a time to rest at home before they push through finals. But for those who don’t leave, the university is offering the comforts of home on campus.

The 19th annual Thanksgiving Dinner will be Thursday in the Archie Griffin Grand Ballroom in the Ohio Union.

Officials will offer two meals, at noon and 2:15 p.m., and expect to serve 2,000 guests.

The campus Thanksgiving Dinner began 19 years ago in The Frank W. Hale Jr. Black Cultural Center when students asked for a potluck dinner because they couldn’t go home for the holiday, said Larry Williamson, director of the center and one of the founders of the annual feast.

“We got 25 people at the drop of a hat,” he said.

The dinner grew steadily each year and eventually was too big for the Hale Center, he said. That’s when the Office of International Relations stepped in to help organize the event. The first year of the collaboration, the amount of guests doubled, from 300 to 600 people.

The meal is the largest free Thanksgiving gathering on any college campus, Williamson said.

This year, there will be 1,680 pounds of turkey (120 turkeys), 115 pounds of bread

for stuffing, 432 pounds of green beans, corn and greens, 1,026 pounds of sweet potatoes, 3,056 pounds of cranberry relish, 320 pounds of baked cornbread and 180 pies, said Maureen Miller, director of communications at the Office of International Affairs.

Leftovers will go to local churches, said Amanda Friesel, a co-chair of the event and third-year in human development and family science.

Friesel said US Foodservice is donating the food, and about 150 volunteers will help cook, clean and organize the meals.

One of those is Darry Andrews, who has been volunteering since 2004 with his wife, daughter and son.

Andrews, who is the director of the Mathematics and Statistics Learning Center, will work as a server this year. Students he knows are surprised to see him there, he said.

“Students who can’t go home should have a nice dinner,” he said. “In the future, I think I’d like to invite a few to my home for Thanksgiving.”

Tickets to the meals are free and still available. They can be picked up at the Ohio Union, the Hale Center and Oxley Hall. Although students are encouraged to get tickets, organizers will make arrangements for any who come empty-handed.

“Our concept is that no student should be alone this day,” Williamson said. “No student will be turned away.”

U.S. condemns N. Korea attack, ponders next steps MArgArEt t ALEV AND WiLLiAM DoUgLAS McClatchy Newspapers MCT WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama Tuesday condemned North Korea’s deadly attack on South Korea, pledged to protect “one of our most important allies” and urged China to take a more punitive stance toward Kim Jong Il’s regime than it has in the past.

Obama didn’t address what actions the U.S. might take against North Korea for firing artillery shells on the island of Yeonpyeong, killing two South Korean marines and injuring others.

“We strongly condemn the attack and we are rallying the international community to put pressure on North Korea,” Obama said Tuesday in an interview with Barbara Walters that will air Friday on ABC. “We want to make sure all the parties in the region recognize that this is a serious and ongoing threat that needs to be dealt with.”

Obama, visiting a Chrysler plant Tuesday in Kokomo, Ind., where he talked about the comeback of the U.S. auto industry, declined to speak publicly about the attack before holding a telephone call later Tuesday with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak. Obama learned of the provocation early Tuesday when he was awakened by a call from his National Security Adviser, Tom Donilon, at 3:55 a.m.

As Obama returned to Washington, Donilon convened a meeting of top civilian and military advisers to recommend next steps to the president. Participants included Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, the president’s and vice president’s top national security advisers, United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen.

In a rare display of bipartisanship, Republicans and Democrats in Congress joined Obama in condemning North Korea’s actions.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said South Koreans “should not have any question that the people and forces of the United States stand ready as a devoted ally committed to the defense of their nation.” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said China has “perhaps the most influence” on the regime and urged the Asian giant to “play a more direct and responsible role in changing North Korea’s reckless behavior.”

However, some Republicans, including House Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio, also used the opportunity to push Obama to increase spending on U.S. missile defense.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether North Korea’s attack would affect Obama’s prospects for getting reluctant Republicans to vote with Democrats to pass the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty between the U.S. and Russia before year’s end.

This was North Korea’s third major provocative action this year, following a torpedo attack on a South Korean warship in March that killed 46 and its announcement earlier this month that it has secretly built a plant to enrich uranium.

The attack also comes as North Korea’s ailing leader transfers power to his son, Kim Jong Un. Michael O’Hanlon, a defense policy expert with the Brookings Institution, a center-left research center, called North Korea’s attack “fundamentally an illegitimate act” that shouldn’t be downplayed. With this, atop the uranium enrichment claims, “I think we are getting into the crisis zone,” he said. “The North Koreans feel they can be in the drivers’ seat too much. They provoke a crisis and manage to essentially divide other countries in the region.”

O’Hanlon said he’s not as concerned about diplomatic questions such as participation in the six-party talks over North Korea’s nuclear weapons program as he is in getting China to take a more unified stand with the U.S. on an approach, along with South Korea, Russia and Japan.

“We all should be trying to sing from the same sheet of music,” he said.

Ultimately, O’Hanlon said, Obama must lay out a “clear choice” for North Korea, demonstrating negative economic consequences if it continues on a path of aggression and nuclear development, and where it sees benefits if it changes.

Bruce Klingner, a senior research fellow in Asia Studies at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative research center, said that North Korea wants to pressure the U.S. into dropping sanctions and preconditions for returning to the six-party talks, and to push the international community to stop enforcing U.N. sanctions against it.

This latest attack shows the regime is “willing to go further up the escalatory ladder than it has before,” Klingner said. He urged the Obama administration to leave no doubt that the United States will defend South Korea if necessary and to “strongly signal that Washington will not acquiesce to this kind of behavior.”

At the State Department, acting spokesman Mark Toner said the U.S. will take a “measured and unified” approach pending consultations with South Korea, China, Japan and Russia — the other members, besides North Korea, of the shelved six-party talks.

At the Pentagon, Col. David Lapan said the U.S. is “still monitoring the situation and talking with our allies” and that “it’s too soon now to tell what actions may be taken as a result of this.”

There were no immediate plans to send more U.S. troops to South Korea in addition to the 25,000 troops already stationed there.

by Hopewell people during time of Christ Both the eagle mound and the walls surrounding the circle were once covered in yellow clay.

“The yellow clay would light up when the sun hit it, especially if the ditch was filled with water, and it would have looked glorious,” said Susan Fryer, executive director of the Greater Licking County Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The circle was likely used for religious ceremonies, experts said, and could have been used for sporting events similar to the Olympics, along with other week- or month-long festivals which were attended by thousands.

“Evidence suggests that people came here for three or four months at a time,” Shiels said. “We don’t have any essays from these people telling us why they built these things. We like to say that the earthworks themselves are native knowledge written on the land.”

The circle, as well as the Octagon Earthwork, located a few miles away, were built to line up with solar and lunar cycles and are the largest of their kind in the world. Openings around the Octagon line up with the path of all eight points in the lunar cycle; when the moon rises over the horizon it send light across the Octagon through the openings.

“Why would you go through the trouble to build something as big as that octagon and line it up with the moon?” Shiels asked when trying to decipher the purpose of the earthworks. “It’s an 18.6-year cycle, and every time that moon aligns in the octagon, it’s in a different season, so it doesn’t help you figure

In “Report ranks OSU No. 15 for international students enrolled,” published Tuesday, Nov. 23, The Lantern reported that Pablo Chignolli is a thirdyear student. However, Chignolli is in his third quarter at OSU.

Clarification

band spelled “Ohio” in script diagonally across the field.

How it became a pre-game tradition for the OSU band is a matter of speculation, Chute said. Some say that Eugene Weigel, director of the marching band in 1936, saw the Michigan marching band spell out the state’s name on the field. Weigel, though, said he got his inspiration from Times Square signs in New York City and from Columbus’ Ohio Theatre sign.

Chute said it might be a combination of both.

Others say Weigel was inspired by an airplane that spelled “Ohio” in smoke, said Paul Droste, unofficial archivist and former director of the OSU Marching Band from 1970 to 1983.

out when to plant your crops. It doesn’t seem to have any practical benefit.”

That led Shiels to believe that the octagon was purely ceremonial. Throughout his years studying the earthworks, Shiels has brought many Native Americans, including tribal chiefs, to the grounds and said they have confirmed his theories.

“As you walk out into the center of the circle, your whole environment changes,” Fryer said. “It becomes a real quiet place, a place that folks would take for reflection or prayer. You really do hear the birds more clearly and notice the trees.”

Shiels and others said the Newark Earthworks was a site of pilgrimage because of the waterways surrounding three sides of the area. Similarly, artifacts have been found on the sites that could have arrived there only through long-range trade.

“There are shells from the Carolinas, copper from Wisconsin, obsidian and mica from the Grand Canyon, which is at least evidence of trade,” Shiels said. “And if you go out to those places, you find spear points and arrowheads made of Flint Ridge flint.”

Flint Ridge is an area close to the Great Circle that has a depository of unique flint.

The Hopewell people, who built the earthworks, lived during the time of Christ, Shiels said. Little is known about them and few of their artifacts have been recovered. However, one of their dwelling sites has been discovered near Chillicothe, Ohio, and it’s believed that a dirt road stretched the 70-mile distance between the two areas.

The Great Circle is open to visitors year-round and the Octagon Earthwork, which is home to a country club golf course, is open to visitors during select hours.

The biggest difference from the 1936 “Script Ohio” and the formation seen today is the dotting of the “i,” Chute said. When it started, the letter was dotted by a trumpet player.

Four games later, Weigel wanted to put more emphasis on dotting the “i,” so he assigned a sousaphone player to the task, Droste said.

“Weigel wanted to make it more visible, and what is more visible than a large sousaphone?” Droste said.

Considered a mark of prestige, dotting the “i” is reserved for seniors who spend their college careers working up to that honor, Woods said.

Ryan Wiens, a fourth-year in zoology, is the sousaphone player who will dot the “i” at Saturday’s game against Michigan.

“It is great to be a part of what is known as the greatest college tradition,” Wiens said.

Issue 159 Tuesday In “Report ranks OSU No. 15 for international students enrolled,” published Tuesday, Nov. 23, The Lantern reported that short-term study abroad programs involve a quarter-long course followed by a one- to three-week study abroad program in a related area of the world. However, the Institute of International Education defines short-term study abroad programs as taking place during the summer, January term or for eight weeks or less during the academic year.

OSU, UM fraternities run football for cancer CHriS BUrKEtt Lantern reporter burkett.41@osu.edu Two fraternities at Ohio State and the University of Michigan took part in an annual fraternity tradition called the rivalry run last week.

Fraternity brothers in the Pi Kappa Alpha and Phi Gamma Delta fraternities took turns running a football 187 miles from the away team’s stadium to the home team’s stadium to honor the rivalry between OSU and Michigan.

The goal of the run is to raise money for the American Cancer Society, the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research and the Coach Carr Cancer Fund.

The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity set a goal of $50,000 combined between its chapters at OSU and Michigan. OSU’s chapter aims to raise $10,000, and Michigan’s has a target of $40,000.

“I think we’re going to hit in between $35,000 and $40,000,” said Michael Adelman, a third-year with a business concentration in finance at the University of Michigan.

Adelman said the chapter at Michigan does a variety of things, in addition to the run, to raise money.

OSU’s Pi Kappa Alpha chapter got donations from friends and family members, collected donations in front of the chapter house before football games and asked for donations at tailgate parties.

Wednesday November 24, 2010

The Phi Gamma Delta fraternity at OSU also wants to gather $10,000.

Seventy to 100 total members participate in each of the fraternities’ runs.

This is the eighth year for the rivalry run but the first year the two fraternities decided not to do the run together.

“We really wanted to see how much we can do as a sole fraternity,” said Danny Tran, OSU’s Phi Gamma Delta president and a fourth-year in operations management.

Adelman said the two fraternities wanted their donations to go to different causes. OSU’s Pi Kappa Alpha chapter is donating to the American Cancer Society and OSU’s Phi Gamma Delta chapter is donating to the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research.

Michigan’s Pi Kappa Alpha chapter is donating to the Coach Carr Cancer Fund, and their Phi Gamma Delta chapter is donating to the American Cancer Society.

This year’s run started around 8 p.m. Thursday outside of Michigan Stadium and ended around 3:30 a.m. Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

The route mostly follows state Route 23, and participants run rain or shine. The hand-off to the opposite school usually takes place between Findlay, Ohio, and Baltimore, Ohio. Goodman said the ball was donated to the American Cancer Society.

“Usually in the past couple of years, we have the team sign the ball and we give it to a charitable cause,” he said.

Goodman said the run is important to the fraternity members.

“It’s one of my best memories being in this fraternity,” he said. “I feel like it’s something that most schools don’t have — collaboration with a school that we don’t like, but we do it anyway. It’s a great event and it goes to a great cause.”

Jimi Hendrix plays his signature Fender Stratocaster upside down to suit his dominant left hand. Ruby Tuesday on Summit will host a tribute show on Saturday to mark what would have been the guitarist’s 68th birthday.

Bar staging Hendrix concert James Garcia Lantern reporter garcia.299@osu.edu Saturday would be Jimi Hendrix’s 68th birthday, and local musicians are paying tribute to the rocker by rocking out in his memory.

“It’s the alternative to the typical frat parties after the Michigan game for music appreciators,” said Theo “Hendrix Jr.” Perry, who will play guitar at the event.

The event will consist of Perry, Jesse Michael Barr and Jim Volk playing guitar in honor of Hendrix.

Nate Smith will be on bass guitar, and Keith Maxwell Buttons will play drums.

“The fact that these guys play all the time and are so great and just to come together for this one project is really special, and I’m probably most excited about that,” Barr said.

Perry, 23, who has been playing Hendrix tunes

formed the Jimi Hendrix Experience. The Experience played some of the most popular rock songs of all time, including “Purple Haze” and “Foxey Lady.”

Hendrix returned to the U.S. and performed in summer 1969 at Woodstock with a group called Gypsy Sun & Rainbows, highlighting the show with its rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

After Woodstock, Hendrix formed a trio called the Band of Gypsys and held four New Year’s performances with the group before choking on his own vomit and dying later that year.

Scott Fotheringham, general manager at Ruby Tuesday, is friends with Perry. This will be the third year he has had the group come to play at his restaurant.

The price is $6 at the door, and the performance starts at 10 p.m. and goes until 2 a.m.

Watershed, including guitarist Colin Gawel, will play the annual Andyman-a-thon Benefit this year.

Through tragedy and change, Columbus radio station CD101 has been rocking the alternative airwaves since 1990.

“The reality is, the show must go on,” said Randy Malloy, general manager of CD101, referring to the death earlier this year of one of the station’s most loved and recognized personalities.

John Andrew “Andyman” Davis was an on-air personality at CD101 from 1991 until July 18, 2010, when he drowned in a lake while vacationing with his family in Michigan. He was voted Columbus’ favorite DJ on multiple occasions, according to the CD101 website.

Davis’ wife, Molly Davis, requested that officials forgo an autopsy on her husband, but he likely drowned after suffering a heart attack.

“The sudden loss of Andy this summer, about

four months ago, was obviously a great shock to everybody here at the radio station,” Malloy said.

“We’re continuing on with the radio station normally, as he would have wanted to do, and as we must do.”

Previous midday DJ Lesley James has taken Davis’ spot in the afternoon, and Brian Phillips has moved into James’ old spot. Nate Ellis has been promoted to the director of marketing and promotions in an attempt to replace Davis.

“The thing about Andy Davis, the man, is that he was like the magnetic North of the Columbus music scene, meaning he had a gravitational pull and brought together so many bands,” said Joe Oestreich, member of the band Watershed. “Andy was a pro, but he wasn’t a jaded industry dude … and in the radio industry, you don’t see many people like that anymore.”

More recently, CD101 has changed its frequency to 102.5, with WOSU purchasing the previous

Holiday promotes competitive shopping Put on your running shoes, apply the war paint and sharpen your elbows — Black Friday is coming.

The day after Thanksgiving is the time for serious shopping. Don’t even think about going if you’re a leisurely shopper because you are guaranteed to lose from the beginning. I’ve become convinced that professional Black Friday shoppers have a sixth sense that detects fear — they will take advantage if you don’t have your game face on. These are the shopping Olympics, after all.

Last year was my first Black Friday experience. My mom and I we to Walmart with the goal of getting a deal on a camera to give my little sister

for Christmas. Unlike some stores, Walmart lets customers come in early and look at merchandise before they’re allowed to start buying.

The Black Friday items were set out in the main aisles, and the employees made it clear they weren’t to be put into shopping carts until the official “go!” announcement rang through the store. But don’t assume the race really starts at the sound of the bell because that would be logical.

It’s not OK to put the items you want in your cart, but it’s OK to stand with your hand on the product you want while yelling at your child half the store away demanding not to let go of grandpa’s future Christmas gift.

since he was 7, when he learned “Purple Haze,” is leading the trio. The group will perform Hendrix cover songs at Ruby Tuesday on Summit Street on Saturday.

“We all love (Hendrix). His music has inspired everything we’ve done, but I wouldn’t call it a ‘tribute.’ It’s more like a celebration,” said Barr, 32, who has been playing Hendrix since he was 14.

“We’re not imitating, in other words, we’re going to do our own thing with his inspiration.”

Born Johnny Allen Hendrix on Nov. 27, 1942, Hendrix became interested in music at a young age.

He began playing on an old, one-string ukulele and got his first acoustic guitar when he was 15 years old, according to “Jimi Hendrix,” his biography.

Although Hendrix could neither read nor write music, he taught how to play guitar by ear.

Throughout his late teenage years and early 20s, Hendrix played with several small groups for short periods of time.

In fall 1966, Hendrix moved to London and

Danielle Hartman hartman.271@osu.edu It’s clear that I’m not the Black Friday type, but I know many who live

for it. Every year before Thanksgiving dinner, my grandma knows to set out the Black Friday fliers on the coffee table. As soon as the turkey has been demolished, the planning for tomorrow’s shopping begins. There’s price comparing, shoppers prioritize stores and couples plan to split up to make separate stops if needed.

I’ll sit out on Black Friday from now on and save my sanity, but I can understand the excitement. How many days out of the year do you get to compete while shopping? It’s become a family tradition for many and something they have fun doing

Jay-Z gets dirt off shoulder and into creative memoir Christian Pe regrina Lantern reporter peregrina.4l@osu.edu Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter has put together a striking tabletop hardcover that is part biography, part lyrical anthology. The covers hold his plight from poverty as a hustler and aspiring emcee growing up in Brooklyn’s Marcy Houses.

First impressions lead the reader to assume that the book, titled “Decoded,” is just a pretentious promotional project. In this case, Carter, in collaboration with writer and filmmaker Dream Hampton, has compiled a book that synchronizes Carter’s story with the meaning and origins of his discography.

The book is at its best in the autobiographical segments where Carter connects the dots to defend hip-hop lyrics as poetry. He argues that his lyrics have a universal theme of struggle, a story anyone can relate to.

Life experiences in the slums gave him something to rhyme about. Dealing drugs was a risk Carter took growing up just to keep his head above water, never abandoning his pursuit of becoming the best emcee in the city.

Every chapter features the voice of Carter discussing parts of his life, whether it is his career, street life or childhood, and connects it with an analysis of songs that follow the theme of the storytelling.

“Decoded” features 36 songs by Carter embedded with footnotes throughout the verses. The songs are divided to fit at the end of most chapters and are pretty in the clean layout.

The pages include creative photo montages and portraits of recognized artists in hip-hop that help.

“I wanted to show how hip-hop created a way to take a very specific and powerful experience and turn it into a story that everyone in the world could feel and relate to,” Carter wrote.

And he has done just that — managing an extravagant, artsy look and hustler story perfectly without losing touch with the street vibes of hip-hop.

Jay-Z states in his song “Moment of Clarity” (featured in the book): “I dumb down for my audience, double my dollar.”

There’s no dumbing down in this book.

Radio station keeps charitable causes in mind frequency of 101.1 for $5.7 million to provide an all-classical music station for Columbus.

“We’ll be CD101 at 102.5. It’s a different call signal, but it’s the same attitude, the same people. We’ll still play the same music. We’ll still break alternative bands that haven’t been heard before,” Malloy said.

But even with all the alterations, both on air and behind the scenes, Malloy is confident there won’t be any “drastic changes.”

“The hope is it won’t change anything. We’re still us. Our philosophy is etched in stone. We’ve been doing this for about 20 years now, and CD101 will continue to be that entity,” Malloy said.

Adam Horn, 23, disagrees. A Columbus resident who has listened to CD101 for about five years, he said he is upset that the station is playing more mainstream music and fewer local bands.

“We play what fits with our audience. We play what sounds good. We have a team of people who listen to the music, that’s their jobs, so they listen to the music and evaluate what works,” Malloy said. “We definitely play a lot of independent bands and independent music, definitely more so than even close to anything else in this city.”

Regardless of music choice, the station’s presence as a promoter for local charities hasn’t changed.

Tonight at the Lifestyle Communities Pavilion, bands are joining for charity with the support of CD101.

“Decoded” Jay-Z

Web from 5A

Eager shoppers look for deals early online

together. Although it might seem like it at times, not every Black Friday shopper is out for blood … perhaps.

If you don’t live in fear of the Black Friday shoppers, just make sure to do one thing before you get caught up in the excitement: Don’t just compare Black Friday deals between sale fliers, but also check online. Many sites sell products at or below the “special” Black Friday price. It might not always be the case, but it’s worth checking.

So, I wish all you Black Friday shoppers well. Plan your attack carefully, and do your research. If you are going to commit yourself, you have to go all the way.

And if it’s your first time, don’t show your fear — the practiced professionals will sniff you out.

along with all proceed from merchandise sales, will go to the Andy Davis Memorial Fund. The rest will go to another of the station’s fundraising projects, called CD101 for the Kids Charities.

“The radio station is helping to promote this, but Quinn Fallon, who was Andy’s business partner as well as the leading member of X-Rated Cowboys, has been the spearhead of this event,” Malloy said. “The local musicians have come together out of the love for Andy and for what he did for the local community musically.

They are what is driving this.”

In June 1999, Davis and Fallon began organizing annual benefit concerts, setting up bands to perform and raise money for central Ohio families in need. In 2003, they moved the charity performances to the LC Pavilion.

“If someone was going to do this, I felt I owed it to (Davis) to do it right,” Fallon said. “I knew which bands Andy was fans of … and everybody was on board with the idea that we owed it to Andy to celebrate the things that were very important to him, to honor his legacy.”

Fallon’s collection of bands for tonight’s performance is based on Davis’ musical taste.

Andy “didn’t worry about cliques, he just liked what he liked, and so the cool thing about this show is it really honors Andy as a person and Andy’s taste in music — bringing together all these different bands,” Oestreich said.

Fallon’s band X-Rated Cowboys will be playing along with Oestreich’s band, Watershed. Also performing are Howlin Maggie, The Toll, Willie Phoenix Band and Earwig.

“The artists are the real heroes here,” Malloy said.

“They are really doing the work.”

Doors open at 6 p.m., and tickets are $20 at the LC Pavilion.

arts&life Lantern CD Reviews Kanye West goes big and produces best effort yet aLeX anTOneTZ Senior Lantern reporter antonetz.3@osu.edu Following up 2008’s divisive “808s and Heartbreak,” battlescarred rapper Kanye West has delivered his fifth studio album, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy,” and it might be his best one yet.

Coming a year after West’s infamous run-in with Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards, “Fantasy” marks a return to glory for West. It comes out firing on all cylinders and guns blazing, providing listeners a dark and intimate look into the curious mind of one of today’s pop stars.

“The night demons still visit me,” West raps in the album’s first track, “Dark Fantasy,” before the next tune, “Gorgeous,” which employs grungy electric guitar with the raspy voice of Kid Cudi delivering the song’s hooks.

Then comes “All of the Lights,” set to be the next single off the album. The track, preceded by a minute-long piano and strings interlude of the song’s melody, is a glitzy illustration of both West’s mastery of production and yearning for collaboration. Blaring trumpets and frenetic percussion are set to the vocals and piano of 11 total featured artists, including Rihanna and Elton John.

“my Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”

Kanye West

The crux of “Fantasy” centers around “Runaway,” a nineminute ballad in which West confesses that people have been “puttin’ up with my s--- just way too long” and admits to “never being much of a romantic.” Six minutes in, the track strips down to a simple melody of piano and strings before West delivers haunting verses in almost indecipherable vocoder.

Rounding out the album are previously released singles “Power” and “Monster.”

“My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” isn’t standard rap fare.

No, this album is the product of an artist with no qualms challenging not only the ears and minds of mainstream listeners, but genre boundaries as well, often criss-crossing from hard rap to pop and even rock. With “Fantasy,” West has cemented himself as one of the day’s best pop acts, if not its most daring.

My Chemical Romance crafts concept album RYan BOOK Arts editor book.15@osu.edu

“Danger Days” my Chemical Romance

My Chemical Romance is following up its hit 2006 album “The Black Parade” with the long-awaited and elaborately titled “Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.”

It’s a concept album, and like most modern concept albums, has a storyline that cannot be deciphered by merely listening to the album.

Based on the music videos, it seems to involve the band members fighting a corporation or government agency (with lasers).

Lyrical meaning aside, the album also jumps between genres more than any of the band’s previous efforts. The band continues the trend it began when it veered (if ever so slightly) from its explicitly emo “Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge” to the more mainstream “The Black Parade.”

Songs like the single “Na Na Na” take a pop-punk approach, which is sensible considering the band’s background. “Party Poison” takes the pop-punk attitude and makes it danceable in a fashion similar to Fall Out Boy. “Planetary (GO!)” is a

straight-up dance tune but doesn’t dissolve into party music.

My Chemical Romance’s fans shouldn’t worry about the musical experimentation mentioned above. Something that might be worrisome is the band’s foray into straightforward popular rock.

The instances are few, but two of the tracks sound equally ready for pop radio and rock radio. It’s not Nickelback, but any semblance of edginess is gone. One works out great.

The other, not so much.

“SING” sounds just as syrupy as its entirely capitalized title suggests. That’s the bad news. The good news is that the other pop track, “The Only Hope For Me Is You,” is the best track on the album. A ballad like this is a far cry from the band’s earlier hits, such as “I’m Not Okay (Trust Me),” but it’s still satisfying.

Minaj disappoints after year of building up hype RYan BOOK Arts editor book.15@osu.edu Nicki Minaj has been her own best media relations agent, having built up to a debut album by doing guest vocals on what seems like a new album every week. The guest verses have built up hype; her verse on Usher’s “Lil Freak” demonstrated her ability to spit lyrics at a rate of fire rivaling an automatic weapon, and her addition to Rihanna’s “Raining Men” showed how she could flex her personality and funny bone. Unfortunately, the feature film doesn’t live up to the previews.

Much of the problem with “Pink Friday” is track selection and arrangement. The singles are disappointing in how dissimilar the lyrical content is from the erratic and entertaining verses that the pink-haired rapper warmed listeners up with in her guest tracks. “Right Thru Me” and “Your Love” are essentially hip-hop ballads, not sassy in the least.

In terms of arrangement, the album’s best tracks are located on the second half. By the time the listener gets to them, they’ve had to sit through the first half and aren’t in the mood.

“Roman’s Revenge” should theoretically highlight everything

“Pink Friday”

nicki minaj

Minaj is good at. She fills the role of Roman Zolanski (an alter ego r) and raps with Eminem portraying his own alias, Slim Shady.

The two normally gifted rappers can’t get a good vibe going, and the results are awkward.

Minaj returns to form on “Blazin’,” featuring Kanye West.

West, not content to dominate the music charts this week with his own album, supplies an excellent verse to supplement Minaj’s cause. West’s flow apparently inspired Minaj because her contributions to the song are her best on the album.

Other late tracks, such as “Last Chance” and “Dear Old Nicki,” also stand out compared to album openers.

Minaj has the talent, that much is for sure, and listeners shouldn’t give up on her because her debut isn’t up to snuff. But they should expect better the second time around.

Six years ago, the Ohio State Buckeyes were at the end of arguably their most disappointing season under coach Jim Tressel. Heading into the last week of the regular season, the Buckeyes were 6-4 and looking ahead to what would be the ÿrst non-January bowl game of the Tressel era.

Then one game changed not only that season, but also the entire OSU football program.

“It’d mean an awful lot, certainly for our fans and for our university, but more importantly for our seniors and our players because they haven’t had the chance to win that,” Rodriguez said. “We’ve got to perform better and get some wins to make us feel better and make our fans feel better.”

In his ÿrst two seasons as Michigan’s coach, Rodriguez’s teams have lost 42-7 and 21-10 to the Buckeyes. This year’s Wolverine team is the most formidable — at least offensively — that Rodriguez will bring into “The Game.”

Unlike Rodriguez’s ÿrst two seasons, Michigan’s offensive personnel now ÿt its spread scheme. The Wolverines have

On Nov. 20, 2004, the Buckeyes stunned the No. 7 Michigan Wolverines in Ohio Stadium behind 391 yards of total offense from quarterback Troy Smith. In one game, the Buckeyes went from a disappointing team that lacked an identity to a team with a quarterback of the future who provided them with hope.

It was also the start of a streak of domination in the rivalry for the Buckeyes, who have won six straight contests against the Wolverines, outscoring them 181-101 in that stretch.

Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez is hopeful that a win Saturday against the Buckeyes will provide a similar reversal of fortunes for the Wolverines.

Rivalry at its best when Ohio State, Michigan are on top of Big Ten

Maybe we would have been better off if the “Game of the Century” never took place.

There couldn’t have been a bigger stage for the 2006 meeting between Ohio State and Michigan: No. 1 vs. No. 2, ÿghting for the right to the BCS Championship Game. Bo Schembechler’s death the night before even provided an emotional undertone.

Then, the game exceeded expectations, as the Buckeyes escaped with a 42-39 victory in a contest marked by big plays, costly penalties and an uneasy audience.

Four years later, we still clutch onto memories of that epic affair. It spoiled us.

OSU takes pride in beating Michigan, and vice versa. But the Buckeyes’ recent dominance in the series — OSU has won six consecutive and eight of nine against its nemesis — has tamed the rivalry a bit. continued as OSU on 2B

Columbus smells like piss.

And I don’t mean it smells like some of its honorable residents decided to relieve themselves one too many times behind a secluded pine tree or in an abandoned alley. I’m saying that upon entering Columbus, you are immediately hit with such a strong stench of piss that it’s best described as an aura, hanging over the city like the dark, gray clouds that give it its depressing, hopeless charm. The stink is so strong it seems possible that those clouds, when let loose, release not rainwater but that foul, acid-yellow expulsion — God’s very own personal urinal.

sports Buckeyes focused on dual-threat quarterback Robinson BLAKE WILLIAMS Senior Lantern reporter williams.3012@osu.edu As quarterback Denard Robinson goes, so goes Michigan’s offense.

Robinson has accounted for 67 percent of his team’s total yards through 11 games this season.

Limiting the Heisman contender will be Ohio State’s challenge Saturday.

“It’s going to be tough to game plan,” senior defensive end Cameron Heyward said. “I don’t know if there really is a weakness” in Robinson’s play.

The difÿculty comes from Robinson’s dual ability with his legs and his arm. The quarterback is the ÿrst player in NCAA history to have more than 1,500 yards passing and 1,500 yards rushing in the same season. And his improved passing game has OSU defenders worried this season.

“You’ve got to watch out because he has turned out as a good passer,” defensive tackle Dexter Larimore said. “He has been able to throw down ÿeld like he hasn’t quite been able to in the past couple years.”

That improvement has come from more repetitions and more thorough preparation by the sophomore signal-caller.

“You’ve got to be able to read everything and know where everybody is supposed to be at on the offense,” Robinson said at Michigan’s weekly press conference Monday. “I think that is pretty much what I learned this year.”

His talent in both facets of the game makes him hard to duplicate for OSU in practice. The Buckeyes have to use more than one player to mimic the Wolverine quarterback. Unfortunately for OSU, the two skill sets will be combined Saturday.

“We just have to play assignment football,” senior safety Jermale Hines said. If “guys stay home

and guys do their job, everything should take care of itself.”

Teamwork will be key this weekend, other plays said.

“I think the biggest thing is to be able to play as a team and be able to play a team defense because he’s probably going to make one guy miss or two guys miss,” Larimore said.

Still, Buckeye players realize that they won’t be able to shut down Robinson completely.

“He is one of the best players in college football, so it is going to be a huge challenge for our defense,” senior linebacker Ross Homan said. “We know that he’s going to get yards on us, but we just can’t quit.”

Dictating how he gets those yards might be the key for OSU to beat the Wolverines. In Michigan’s four losses, Robinson tallied 185 yards rushing a game. That number falls to 138 yards a game in the team’s seven victories.

Given that disparity, limiting the passing attack might be important for the Silver Bullet defense. The players realize that to do that, they can’t let Robinson get off to a quick start.

“He gets very hot very quick,” Heyward said. “We have to be ready for both the pass and the run, and he’s got so many different options on the team, it’s going to be tough to stop him.”

No matter how they go about slowing down Robinson, OSU players know that’s the only way to stop the Wolverine attack.

“He is deÿnitely what makes their offense go,” Homan said.

Final meeting before OSU, Michigan split into separate divisions TRAVIS KOZEK Senior Lantern reporter kozek.2@osu.edu Saturday’s matchup between OSU and Michigan not only marks the 107th meeting between the two squads but also represents the last time the teams will square off in the Big Ten’s 11-team format.

With the addition of Nebraska and a conference championship game coming to the Big Ten next season, this year’s OSU-Michigan game is the last before the two teams divide into separate divisions.

Despite the changes, OSU coach Jim Tressel said nothing will change the signiÿcance of the rivalry.

“You play it like it’s the last game in the world,” he said. “I’m not sure that when we line up next year for the Ohio State-Michigan game there will be any less excitement or anything will be taken away from it. Maybe some of those by-products will be added, but I don’t know how you could lose anything from this game.”

The OSU-Michigan game has become a college football staple.

The Buckeyes and Wolverines have met on the gridiron every year since the 1918 season and have met for each team’s regular season ÿnale every year since 1935.

Although administrators recently considered moving “The Game” from its position as each team’s ÿnale, OSU-Michigan will remain in its current spot for the time being.

“People with much more power make those decisions, but I think it’s a cool tradition that it gets to be at the end of the year,” senior wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher said. “It adds a little bit to the game knowing that you’re going to add that ÿnale of a game being the Ohio State-Michigan game.”

Although the Buckeyes and Wolverines will continue to end their seasons against each other through the 2012 season, the games beyond that point have yet to be arranged. OSU athletic director Gene Smith said he doesn’t expect the placement of the game to change soon.

“I know what my position will be, for it to be the same, but again, I can’t speak for what (Wisconsin athletic director) Barry Alvarez might bring in the room or (Penn State athletic director) Tim Curley might bring in the room,” he said.

“We’re a consortium, so I’m going to listen to my colleagues and their pros and cons and I’m also going to represent what our interests are.”

OSU from 1B

Michigan win would make a successful season for Wolverines The more at stake, the bigger the reward. When OSU and Michigan are the cream of the Big Ten crop, the game has more meaning.

In 2006, the Buckeyes knocked the Wolverines out of contention for a trip to the national title game. On Saturday, an OSU win could redirect Michigan from the TicketCity Bowl to the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. I’m not sure how much motivation that provides.

Of course, players and coaches will say the right things and play up the signiÿcance of the matchup. It still means a lot — there would be no sweeter culmination to an up-and-down Michigan season than an upset at the Horseshoe.

However, the rivalry is at its best when both teams are at their best.

The Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers maintain a rivalry because of their history of games with NBA title implications on the line, not because of a few April meetings in which they jostled for draft positioning.

“The Game” this season will probably never reach the pinnacle of importance it hit in 2006.

It serves the rivalry and its fans better when there’s more on the line. Until both teams return to their typical perch atop the Big Ten, we’ll keep reminiscing about the game that epitomizes what OSU-Michigan is all about.

Michigan writer says OSU pales in comparison as an institution Unfortunately, the intense, almost attacking smell that hits you at the city limits is not enough to base a column on. Still more unfortunate is the fact that the Buckeyes have beaten the Wolverines in “The Game” for six straight seasons, leaving little on-ÿeld inspiration to draw upon for material.

But in an extremely lucky twist of fate, I have fallen into the possession of something that couldn’t be more timely or essential: a series of entries from Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor’s personal diary. Without further ado, the inspired writings of Mr. Pryor: Jan. 25, 2009 Dear Diary, WTF Diary? Just lost the Fiesta Bowl against Texas. It was the third straight loss for us in a bowl game! Why can’t we win when it counts???

Nov. 2, 2009 Dear Diary, I saw on the news today everyone hating on Mike Vick just for killing a few dogs. WTF is everyone making such a big deal out of it? Don’t they know everyone murders?

Nov. 21, 2010 Dear Diary, There are so many haters out there! I’m gonna go get some food — gotta ÿnd 10 pairs of socks in order to ÿt into my own shoes.

Man I was watching College GameDay today and saw Kirk Herbstreit talking shit. He a fake Buckeye.

Wait, that’s too good not to tweet.

Alas, that’s all I have. Well, it’s all I could make

out — the rest was a jumbled mix of poorly drawn pictures of his house labeled “homework” and simple algebra written in crayon. But I think what we have, though meager, still gives us a glimpse into the amazing mind of Ohio State’s starting quarterback.

The piercing scent of urine that seeps into clothing and pores so you can’t get the smell out for a week after leaving that depressing troth of a city?

That aura of human waste that hangs over the center of Ohio like an atmosphere? It’s merely a physical manifestation of the attitude of Columbus. The city’s citizens, and indeed OSU’s students most of all, wallow in this hopeless mediocrity, which is made all the more saddening by their lack of understanding of it. They exist in a sort of bliss, willfully ignorant of the futility of their attempts at being “better” than Michigan actually are. Yes, the OSU football team has dominated Michigan’s for six years. But to compare the University of Michigan to OSU is to compare a ÿlet mignon to a steaming pile of human feces.

The sad part? They still try. But when you are so steeped in a tradition that demands willful ignorance, medieval values and sub-par results, how can you expect to compete with a school that consistently churns out the leaders and best? Even Pryor, who by most measures has been a very good quarterback, seems unable to ÿt into his own shoes — Buckeyes just aren’t used to exceedingly high expectations.

One of the most applicable quotes I could ÿnd on the existence of OSU students comes from Bill Watterson, an Ohio native who understands the plight of OSU better than anyone and the author of the timeless comic strip “Calvin and Hobbes.” In one comic, Calvin explains what he believes to be the existence of girls by comparing them to insects.

In my paraphrasing, I’m replacing “girls” with “OSU students.” I imagine bugs and OSU have a dim perception that nature played a cruel trick on them, but they lack the intelligence to really comprehend the magnitude of it.

So Michigan fans, hate OSU all you want, just remember how sad and pitiful the “institution’s” existence really is. And for all the students attending this poor excuse for a university, don’t hate them — feel sorry for them. They just don’t know any better.

When Rich Rodriguez arrived on the University of Michigan’s campus in December 2007, his football program had plenty of reason to be optimistic. The Wolverines were coming off a bowl win over the Florida Gators, and their new coach had amassed a 60-26 record in his seven years at West Virginia.

In the last two years, that optimism has turned to impatience.

Expectations are high in Ann Arbor, Mich., this year. In 13 years under Rodriguez’s predecessor, Lloyd Carr, the Wolverines were 122-40, never missing a bowl game. Their worst season under Carr was 7-5 and they never won fewer than ÿve conference games in a season.

Now in his third year, Rodriguez has yet to reach ÿve wins. He has a 15-20 record heading into Saturday’s season ÿnale, he has committed NCAA violations and he has failed to guide his team to a winning record until this season.

“When I took the job, I thought about building the best program in America,” Rodriguez said Monday during his weekly press conference.

The Wolverines have taken a step in the right direction in 2010. At 7-4, Michigan is bowl-eligible for the ÿrst time in Rodriguez’s tenure.

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said he has been impressed by Rodriguez’s work.

“I think, just from a universal standpoint, there’s always unrest if you don’t win every game at this level,” Tressel said. “Secondly, the thing that is impressive to me is that I’ve watched them for three years and I haven’t seen them blink. I mean, they have gone out and they’ve played every game to the end, and that means something good is going on.”

Nonetheless, the Wolverines are 6-17 in Big Ten play, and fans are becoming weary. Some see Saturday’s contest as a litmus test for the Michigan headman, but Wolverine players don’t see it that way.

“I don’t think about that really,” senior offensive lineman Stephen Schilling said. “I think we’ve shown progression the last three years under coach Rod and, no, I don’t think that way.”

a 7-4 record that will land them in their ÿrst bowl game under Rodriguez.

Tressel said Robinson’s ability to run and throw the ball makes him difÿcult to prepare for.

“It’s impossible to simulate him because there’s no one like him,” Tressel said. “It’s a tremendous challenge because it gives you all of the problems that a Wildcat offense gives you with a great running back back there.

But along with it, it has all of the passing problems.”

Robinson has played a critical role in Michigan’s offense, which is ranked 10th in the nation in

Michigan offense has scored 36.8 points per game found success behind dual-threat quarterback Denard Robinson, an early-season Heisman candidate who fell out of contention because of injuries and a threegame losing streak in the middle of the season.

Robinson has rushed for 1,538 yards and 14 touchdowns and has thrown for 2,229 yards, 16 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, leading the Wolverines to

rushing, with 257.4 yards per game, and 15th in the nation in points scored, with 36.8 points per game.

Michigan’s defense has failed to ÿnd the same success that its offense has, as it is ranked 99th in the country in scoring, giving up 33.5 points per game.

Despite the statistics, Robinson said he hasn’t lost conÿdence in his team’s defense.

“I think our defense is one of the best defenses in the nation,” Robinson said. “I don’t care what nobody say. We play against them every day, and they help us get better.”

Tressel agreed that the statistics don’t necessarily tell the tale of the Michigan defense.

“They’ve given up too many big plays, but the thing I love about them is I see them ° ying around and I see a lot of young guys who aren’t young anymore,” Tressel said.

The longest streak in the rivalry thus far came from 1901-1909, when the Wolverines got the better of the Buckeyes for nine straight years. A win on Saturday would move OSU two games away from matching that streak.

“There’s been pressure every

guy and through all that he’s been in he’s kept such a positive attitude. He’s really affected me and a lot of other guys with the way he comes in and just kind of emits positivity.”

But the players aren’t the ones who sign his paycheck. With a big test ahead for the Wolverines and his job security in limbo, Rodriguez might be undergoing an employee performance evaluation Saturday in the Horseshoe.

year. It’s something that comes with it,” OSU wide receiver Dane Sanzenbacher said. “Nobody wants to be the team that breaks the streak.”

With a share of the Big Ten title and a potential sixth straight trip to a BCS bowl game still within grasp, the Buckeyes have more than just pride to play for.

OSU defensive end Cameron Heyward said the Buckeyes understand the stakes.

“A share of the Big Ten title and our biggest rival,” Heyward said. “Michigan is always going to play their best against us.

We wouldn’t have it any other

way to go out against a quality opponent. It’ll be a rough one, but we’re ready for it.”

Regardless of bowl game implications, the Buckeyes are focused on extending their winning streak over the Wolverines to a lucky No. 7.

“The Ohio State-Michigan game is the focus,” Tressel said.

“You’re deÿned by your Ohio State-Michigan games.”

will not look at the game like that from the opposite sideline either.

“That’s not something that we try to think about.

We know that he is going to have his team ready to go and try to get his ÿrst win in the rivalry,” Browning said. “That is something that he has on his team’s mind to stay focused on, and I know the players and their seniors and everyone at the university is going to be ÿred up for it.”
