thelantern Shooter’s criminal past overlooked Background check missed custodial worker’s prison term, problems at previous jobs COLLIN BINKLEY Managing editor binkley.44@osu.edu An Ohio State custodial worker who shot and killed one of his bosses and wounded another spent time in prison and had a violent work record, but none of that turned up in a background check performed when he was hired at the university.

OSU President E. Gordon Gee said at a press briefing Wednesday that the university would review its background check process.

University officials confirmed that Nathaniel A. Brown, 50, spent five years in prison beginning in the late ‘70s for receiving stolen property.

However, a company that performs background checks for OSU reported in September 2009 that Brown had no criminal record.

“Sometimes old criminal information is hard to come by, even for us,” said OSU Police Deputy Chief Richard Morman, who says there are several reasons why background checks can overlook past crimes.

Brown entered the Maintenance Building at 2000 Park Place at 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, halfway through his late-night shift, armed with Glock 45-caliber and Ruger 9mm handguns. He asked for his supervisor, Larry Wallington, 48, before chasing him around the room and shooting him

“I was just really surprised. I woke up to my roommate’s text message that the school was on lockdown.”

“I read the e-mails and I was more interested in where it happened. Then I just went to class and didn’t really worry about it. I’m more aware of janitors now and … what they do.”

“It’s a little strange to just shoot people up. I guess that’s what people are doing nowadays.”

“I don’t know much about it. I was just surprised. Two people died? I think? I tried to pass through [the restricted area] and was stopped by security. I found out later there was a shooting.”

“The text message wasn’t very detailed, and I didn’t know how big of a deal it was until I saw the helicopter later. Then around noon I saw it made it onto CNN. It was weird walking to class because it was not chaotic at all.”

“It was unfortunate that it happened, but at least it happened in an isolated network instead of in the middle of the day involving students and teachers.

But it was still a terrible thing.”

IPC spending ‘08 - ‘09 school year

The Inter-Professional Council represents more than 3,200 “professional” students at Ohio State and spends tens of thousands of dollars.

But it has difficulties filling its leadership positions and keeping students aware of what the organization does.

“One of the problems is that people don’t have the time,” said Meghan Slanina, current vice president and incoming president of IPC. The council held presidential and vice presidential elections this week. Each officer gets paid about $10,000 a year and gets a partial tuition waiver. Nonetheless, no one challenged Slanina for president and only two men ran for vice president.

Unlike Undergraduate Student Government, which represents about 45,000 students on the Columbus campus, IPC has few programs and an apathetic constituency. The council represents the students in the schools of law, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, optometry, dentistry and medicine. Each of those schools has its own student government that is focused narrowly on the interests of those students.

(This does not include all spending, just the biggest purchases) A fiscal adviser and the vice president of IPC create the budget.

Afterward, the senate votes on it. IPC gets its money from the Student Activity Fee, the professional development fund and money from the CocaCola contract.

Shooting from 1A

Butler home

after surgery, officials say to death, said a witness who asked not to be identified.

Brown also shot Wallington’s boss, 60-year-old Henry Butler, before killing himself.

Brown learned March 2 from his supervisors that he would be fired from his job, which consisted mostly of cleaning floors. He worked at the university for five months.

OSU officials said Butler was released from the hospital Wednesday after having surgery Tuesday afternoon to remove the bullet from his shoulder.

It is uncertain whether Butler was a target or if he was caught in the crossfire in the cluttered office, police said.

University spokesman Jim Lynch said he was unsure whether employees at OSU’s Human Resources department called Brown’s previous employers. Addressing reports that one of Brown’s former bosses had a restraining order against him, Lynch said that kind of information doesn’t always turn up in background checks.

Even after Brown was hired at OSU, though, his colleagues reported that he could quickly become angry, and he appeared to have a learning disability.

Handwritten notes from one of Brown’s trainers say he tried to intimidate her, asking what kind of car she drove.

The notes also appear to describe an earlier confrontation between Brown and Wallington.

On another occasion, Butler was called in to calm Brown down after he became hostile with another supervisor.

Police performed a search of Brown’s North Linden home Wednesday morning and will release what they discovered when they submit it to the court today. They have also sent all evidence from the crime scene to the state crime lab, and both bodies from the scene were sent to the county coroner’s office to undergo autopsy.

Police are still trying to piece together the puzzle of what happened early Tuesday morning. They have interviewed all the witnesses, but couldn’t tell Wednesday how many shots were fired or where Wallington and Brown were shot.

“There was half a dozen people there,” Morman said, “we’re probably fortunate we didn’t have more of a tragic incident than what we had.”

Morman also said police were trying to confirm that Brown’s motive was related to his recent firing.

“It sounds like there were probably other things going on in his life,” he said.

Neighbors reported to The Lantern that Brown had ended a relationship with a woman who was living with him, and he was struggling with finances.

A group of about 20 students held a vigil outside the Maintenance Building late Tuesday night, and the Undergraduate Student Government will hold a vigil today at 5:15 p.m. at the south side of Ohio Stadium.

“This was a loss,” Gee said of Wallington’s death. “We can’t replace him, but we can certainly learn from what happened here.”

IPC from 1A

Council using funds to increase interest in organization

Making the professional students aware of the council and its work has “been a major problem,” Slanina said. “A lot of students didn’t go here for undergrad. They don’t realize the university is receptive” to the issues that affect them.

For example, the council was crucial in the movement to extend Wilce Student Health Center hours to accommodate professional students. IPC also attends the Athletic Council meetings and has been instrumental in the discussion about student football tickets.

“Our students have much different interests” than undergraduate students, said Slanina, a veterinary medicine student.

IPC members often find their career and school interests getting in the way of their commitment to the organization.

“A lot of people choose to participate [in organizations] within their own college,” Slanina said.

The council has 30 senators and “right now the senate spots are not very competitive,” she added.

The IPC will have more money to work with this year because OSU has hiked the student activity fee from $15 per quarter to $25. The increase will generate $4,000 more this year for the council. The IPC’s operating budget will be roughly $26,000 for this school year.

The council uses a significant portion of that money to garner interest in the organization. Last year they spent $1,233 on promotional materials such as T-shirts and coffee mugs. This year, they have begun to use the activity fee for “outreach lunches” at different professional colleges. This year, IPC has budgeted $8,500 for outreach and promotion and has already spent $4,400 of it.

“Some students didn’t realize the umbrella of IPC,” said Dan Klauer, a dentistry major and IPC vice president. “It is something that surpasses the college level. That’s kind of something we’re hoping ... our senators will realize.”

GEN GOOdWIN / Lantern designer

IPC also used activity fee money last year to pay for food at monthly IPC meetings to get more people to attend. This year the council is paying for the food with fundraising money.

Since they have started serving food at meetings, “attendance has jumped 200 percent. We go as cheap as we can,” Slanina said.

IPC has also implemented an attendance policy that is stricter and can result in the removal of senators who cannot make the time commitment, Klauer said.

The attendance policy so far does not apply to the council’s retreats, which are paid for with activity fee money. In September, IPC paid almost $1,300 to send 10 members to a Reynoldsburg cabin overnight for team building.

“All the student governments have retreats,” Slanina said. “The more people know each other, the better they work together. More senator participation is great for a dynamic organization.”

But few IPC members attend these retreats. As few as five people have gone on these retreats in the past.

“Professional programs start at different times,” Klauer said. “It’s a challenge figuring out when to schedule.”

Nonetheless, IPC holds a significant role in supporting student research and study. The council is responsible for the $45,000 Professional Development Fund, which pays for research and education opportunities outside of students’ regular programs, Klauer said.

The fund reimburses 20 to 25 percent of professional students for their research or travel.

Also, Slanina said IPC has had “a better handle” on recording and keeping track of the money and has been providing annual reports.

She said group members hope the fund will increase next year.

JACK MOORE Lantern reporter moore.1732@osu.edu About 20 students, most members of an Ohio State campus prayer group, gathered Tuesday night for a vigil in front of the maintenance building that was the scene of a campus shooting Tuesday morning.

Shortly after 10 p.m., members of 24/7 Prayer gathered in a circle and lit candles across the street from the building at 2000 Tuttle Park Pl. Early Tuesday morning, custodial worker Nathaniel Brown shot and killed his supervisor Larry Wallington and injured another manager, Henry Butler, before shooting and killing himself.

Janika Pittman, president of the non-denominational group, said members were praying for the victims, their families and their co-workers.

“Sometimes we forget about the maintenance people,” she said. “We don’t really think about them. We see our clean classrooms. We just assume that they come that way.”

Some workers looked out from open thirdstory windows as the group sang “Amazing Grace.”

Others stopped to look on their way to clock into the building across the street, which had remained a crime scene for most of the day.

One third-shift worker, who asked not to be named because she said she had been told not to speak to the media, said she happened upon the vigil on her way into work.

She said she wasn’t working in the area when the shooting occurred but found out about it from her supervisor.

She added that the night before the shooting, she saw Butler, who is now in stable condition after undergoing surgery at the OSU Medical Center.

“He was in my office area and looked right at me. He said, ‘hi,’ and I waved and said ‘hi’ to him. And then just to think that he could die. Everybody was just shocked,” she said.

Larry Wallington, the supervisor who was killed, was “just a sweet guy — easygoing, easy to talk to,” she said. He was a boss who didn’t just give instructions, she said. He worked with his crew.

“I saw him Sunday night. He had the carpet machine and he was out there cleaning the carpet himself, right there with his employees,” she said.

She said she was touched by the students’ vigil.

“It’s flooring me that they’re so concerned about custodial workers,” she said. “I feel like they’re praying for every employee that was on third shift and everybody that knows Larry.”

campus Research preserved on library database Jack mooRe Lantern reporter moore.1732@osu.edu The Knowledge Bank, a project of Ohio State’s libraries and the top technology office, gives OSU researchers an easy way to publish and preserve their work on the Web. But it’s not just a place for scholarly research. Video clips, full-length books and even FBI reports call this digital space home.

The Knowledge Bank is an endeavor of OSU Libraries and the Office of the Chief Information Officer which began in 2004 and has more than 42,000 materials on the site.

Tschera Connell, a member of the library’s scholarly resources integration unit, heads the project. She said the main goal is to store OSU’s “intellectual content” on a digital platform. This includes journal articles, senior honors theses and archives material.

The digital content is collected into various communities, based on a common topic or source.

Storage on the site makes documents more accessible in many ways.

First is the digital aspect. Larry Allen, spokesman for OSU Libraries, said the bank accepts all kinds of materials and finds ways to preserve them “so that 20 years from now it’s not saved in a format that’s not accessible, like 8-track tapes,” he said.

The Ohio Journal of Science, a print journal, has a presence on

Knowledge Bank mostly to make back issues — which date back to 1900 — easier to find and use for those doing research.

Materials on the site are indexed by Google and are given priority ranking on Google Scholar searches because they come from an institutional repository, Connell said.

Other journals, such as the Empirical Musicology Review are Web-based, but the articles are archived on the Knowledge Bank site.

Most of the material comes from those who have content they would like to share, Connell said. But she said the Bank sometimes does seek out certain things.

“We always start with ‘who has the rights to the materials,’” Connell said. “That is sort of the flow in all cases.”

If submitters are uncertain if they own the rights, Connell said the Knowledge Bank will work with them to find out.

“We try to provide a set of services for people who have content,” she said. In addition to dealing with copyrights, they also set up the individual and community pages and provide hardware and software updates.

The material is kept under a creative commons license which allows those who own the content to customize the copyright. The library has the right to distribute the material online through the Knowledge Bank.

While the primary goal of the Knowledge Bank is to preserve scholarship and to provide worldwide access, there are also a number of interesting sights and sounds that appeal to more than just the academic.

The alphabetical list of communities spans from the Academy of

Teaching to WOSU. The latter contains an episode of “Physics on the Edge,” an educational science show for middle and high school students.

Some of the most interesting documents are the nearly 1,500 pages of FBI reports on the Black Panther Party, a radical black power movement, from the 1960s and ‘70s. The reports were the result of the COINTEL (Counter-Intelligence) program, which investigated, often illegally, dissident groups.

An anonymous donor requested the information through a federal Freedom of Information Act request and gave them to OSU’s libraries.

Everyday people telling their stories is the theme of the Digital Storytelling community.

Through OSU Digital Storytelling, members of the academic community are invited to create short multimedia projects, often personal and emotional, about their work in the university.

One video made by a graduate art education student showcased a Short North mural created in the fall of the 2008 presidential election.

The mural, featuring a silhouette of then-presidential candidate Barack Obama overlooking a field of outstretched hands, was worked on mostly by young members of the Weinland Park community.

“It’s a very different way to talk about academic work,” said Karen Diaz, a librarian and member of OSU Digital Storytelling. “And we think that’s useful because it allows you to engage people who might not otherwise understand your work or what you’re talking about.”

Jobs ticking up in many states; jobless rates, too keVin G. HaLL McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) WASHINGTON — Thirty-one states and the District of Columbia posted net gains in employment in January, the Labor Department reported Wednesday, providing further evidence that the economy is slowly gaining momentum.

The state-by-state January employment report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics clarifies and deepens the national employment data released last week, which suggested that employers have stopped firing workers and are starting to hire.

In January, the BLS said, California led all states in employment growth with 32,000 net new jobs.

Illinois and New York state followed with respective net gains of 26,000 and 25,500, and the state of Washington followed with 18,900. Eighteen states saw employment decrease, and one state saw no change.

“The fact that you have three important and largely service-based economies showing gains may tell us that we have a broader recovery emerging, and this may be a bit of a bright light here,” said Steve Cochrane, a managing director at forecaster Moody’s Economy.com in West Chester, Pa. States with big manufacturing operations showed positive signs last year, he said, thanks to demand created by the government’s “cash for clunkers” program and growing exports. So improvement in states with large service sectors is another positive indicator.

“Through the end of last year, most of the recovery was centered around the manufacturing centers or commodity-producing areas such as the Plains states and Texas, and increasingly towards the Southeast,” Cochrane said.

Moody’s Economy.com does its own state-bystate economic analysis, and it recently concluded that at the end of last year, 20 states had emerged from recession. Economists overwhelmingly think that the national recession has ended, but the formal

declaration of that comes months later from the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Wednesday’s news was a bit darker on state unemployment rates. Thirty states and the nation’s capital reported an uptick in their jobless rates. Only nine states saw jobless rates fall, and 11 saw no change. The national unemployment rate stood at 9.7 percent in January and February.

The unemployment rate is rising in many states because workers who gave up and exited the labor force are seeking employment again as the economy resumes growing. That means there’s greater confidence that the economy is rebounding, but it also suggests that the national jobless rate could rise again.

“While there has been a sharp narrowing in the breadth of unemployment rate increases, unemployment rates through January continued to rise in more states than they fell. Historically, a predominance of declining state unemployment rates confirms the staying power of a downward trend in the national rate,” Alan Levenson, the chief

economist for investment manager T. Rowe Price Associates, wrote in a note to investors.

Michigan again led all states with an unemployment rate of 14.3 percent in January, followed by Nevada and Rhode Island at 13 percent and 12.7 percent, respectively. South Carolina followed at 12.6 percent and California at 12.5 percent.

The jobless rates in South Carolina and California reflected contemporary record highs, as did the rates in Florida (11.9 percent), North Carolina (11.1 percent) and Georgia (10.4 percent).

On a brighter note, 25 states posted jobless rates that were sharply lower than the national average.

North Dakota had the lowest unemployment rate, at 5.4 percent, followed by Nebraska and South Dakota, which respectively had rates of 4.6 percent and 4.8 percent.

Social networking site made specifically for scholars nick matteo Lantern reporter matteo.8@osu.edu While Facebook and Twitter have been dominating computer screens over the past few years, another Web site is taking advantage of this social networking craze, but putting a scholarly spin on it.

Academia.edu is a social networking Web site for scholars and researchers who are looking to connect with other people in related fields and get their research read.

Mostly used by graduate and doctorate students and professors, Academia.edu is a free service that anyone can use and allows users to create their own academic Web page.

A user can create a research profile and post their research interests, papers, blogs and other useful Web sites. Just like other social network sites, users can follow people with similar interests, find people they know and even have picture and status updates.

Academia.edu allows the user to follow other academics and see the latest research updates of all the academics they are following in their news feed. The setup is similar to that of Facebook.

Richard Price, CEO of Academia.edu, had the idea for the site when he was finishing his doctorate in philosophy of perception at the University of Oxford. He needed a place where he could easily create an academic Web page to list his research papers online.

Throughout his doctoral education, he had been looking for other people in the area of philosophy of perception.

However, it took three years into his research until he came across two people in the same research area.

Price thought it would be useful if there was a Web site where every researcher listed what they worked on so they were easy to discover and collaborate with.

“If you’re a researcher, it’s quite important that you tell the world what you’re working on because you really want your stuff to be read,” Price said. “It’s very important that your work is making an impact on the world.”

Price believes that Academia.edu also makes it easy to follow other people’s work, which is another important aspect of developing good research.

“Once you have shown your work and put it out on the Internet, you want to find out what your colleagues are up to,” he said. “Just like you keep up with your friends on Facebook, Academia has a news feed where you can follow other academics and you can see the research that they are putting together.”

Price moved to San Francisco about two years ago from London and launched Academia.edu in Sept. 2008.

It now has close to 106,000 users, but it was not easy for Price to get the funding to start the Web site. He went to a lot of networking events in the tech community in London and built a good list of contacts, but his initial pitches to investors were poor and rusty.

For Price it was a learning process, and there was no substitute for having that network he built. He eventually pitched the idea to the right people and it fell into the right hands.

Academia.edu is funded by venture capital and individual investors. However, Price said in the future they want to create a job board to start pulling in revenue and help people find jobs.

There are six members on the Academia.edu team: four full-time employees and two interns. Their office is currently based out of the living room of Price’s apartment, but will be moving to a downtown San Francisco office in a few weeks.

Dan Feusse, a Dublin, Ohio native and Miami of Ohio graduate, is the marketing intern at Academia.edu. He started his internship about four months ago and believes that Ohio State students and faculty could really relate and benefit from Academia.

“It’s Facebook for academics,” Feusse said. “It’s a social networking hub but for researchers to really find what other people are researching and discover similar topics.”

OSU is among the almost 9,000 universities worldwide participating with Academia.edu and has 361 users in 123 research departments. Being one of the largest universities in the country, Feusse also discussed some of the advantages Academia has for OSU. “It’s such a big school that it would be pretty hard to meet with other department members, see what other people are working on and what’s going on around them,” he said. “[Academia.edu] allows people to get in touch with other people, whether it’s at the University of Cincinnati, places across the country or across the world.”

Just as it was hard for Twitter to predict three years ago that it would be so huge today, Price believes it’s hard to tell how big Academia.edu can get, but he does raise the bar pretty high.

“There are about 15 million academics in the world and we want to get all of them,” he said. “And we are doing everything it takes to get that. That’s our goal.”

Big Ten

Tournament Preview The 11 Big Ten teams will meet in Indianapolis this week and crown a conference tournament champion.

Play begins Thursday at noon in Conseco Fieldhouse and concludes with the conference championship game Sunday at 3:30 p.m.

nicK OTTe Lantern reporter otte.28@osu.edu Ohio State After winning a share of their third regular season conference title in five years, the Buckeyes arrive in Indianapolis as the tournament’s No. 1 seed. Led by the Big Ten Player of the Year Evan Turner, OSU has won 13 of its last 14 games.

After their first-round bye, they will play the winner of the Thursday’s Michigan-Iowa game at noon on Friday. OSU beat Iowa twice this year, and split the season series with the Wolverines.

However, in their loss at Michigan, the Buckeyes were without Turner, who was recovering from a back injury.

Biggest Strength: Starting Five With Turner on the court, the Buckeyes will have the best player in any game they play this weekend. However, the other four OSU starters cannot be ignored.

Jon Diebler and William Buford combined for 36 points in last week’s win over Illinois, 21 of which came on Diebler’s seven 3-pointers.

Junior David Lighty, who was once known solely for his defensive prowess, has gotten better and better on the offensive end as the season has progressed. Throw in Big Ten All-Defensive center Dallas Lauderdale and you have a starting five that rivals anybody’s in the country.

Biggest Weakness: Depth, or Lack Thereof If there is a weakness to this OSU team, it is the virtual absence of a bench. The only reserve to play in every game this season was senior Kyle Madsen, and fellow seniors P.J. Hill and Jeremie Simmons are the only other Buckeyes who have any hope of entering the game.

Because the starting five is so strong, extensive bench play has not been essential to this point. None of the Buckeye regulars have shown any ill effects of playing nearly every minute, but if any of them were to get into foul trouble, it could spell trouble for OSU.

Purdue Last year’s tournament champion took a serious hit late in the season when junior Robbie Hummel was lost for the season with a torn ACL. With Hummel, Purdue was all alone atop the conference standings. Without him, they went 2-1, including a loss at home to Michigan State and just a four-point win against Penn State.

Without their first-team All-Big Ten forward, Purdue could have a hard time repeating last season’s title.

Biggest Strength: Experience Purdue will start four players who also started on last season’s tournament championship team and had Hummel not gotten hurt, they would have returned all five. These guys know what it takes to win three games in three days.

Hummel or no Hummel, Purdue should still be a contender.

Biggest Weakness: Outside Shooting Hummel was Purdue’s best outside shooter and without him, junior E’Twaun Moore is the only real threat the Boilermakers have from beyond the 3-point arc. The lack of a long-distance scorer will put a lot of pressure on center JaJuan Johnson.

Johnson is plenty capable, and might be the best big man in the conference. But without help from the outside, teams will be more willing to collapse inside and make things more difficult for him. It will be interesting to see how he handles the added responsibility, and the Boilermakers will need him to be nothing short of spectacular if they hope to win the tournament.

Michigan State The Spartans entered February undefeated in the conference and likely had their sights set on an outright conference championship. So after going just 5-4 to end the season, earning just a share of the title may feel to many in East Lansing as a less-than-consoling consolation prize.

They will be looking to redeem themselves with a tournament championship and will start by playing the winner of Minnesota-Penn State.

Biggest Strength: Rebounding Michigan State leads the conference in both offensive and defensive rebounding.

Led by their front line of senior Raymar Morgan and sophomore Delvon Roe, as well as Big Ten Sixth Man of the Year Draymond Green, the Spartans have out-rebounded their opponents by an average of more than nine a game. In comparison, Penn State is second in the conference averaging just three more rebounds than its opponents.

Michigan State’s ability to get second and even third chances on the offensive end could be key if it hopes to make a run this weekend.

Biggest Weakness: Suspended Guard Michigan State announced Tuesday that junior guard Chris Allen would be suspended indefinitely because of unfulfilled responsibilities, coach Tom Izzo said. Allen will miss at least his team’s opening game.

Allen averages nine points per game, but is perhaps the Spartans’ best perimeter defender. In MSU’s regular season finale, Allen held Michigan’s Manny Harris to just four points.

In a conference with such an abundance of great guards, any deficiency on the defensive perimeter could be costly.

sports Wisconsin The Badgers have quietly gone about their business all year and should not be overlooked.

They play Illinois, a team they beat by 15 earlier this week, in their first game on Friday. If they top the Illini again, they will move on to the semifinals where OSU could be waiting.

The Badgers beat the Buckeyes handily in the teams’ first game, but Turner was out with an injury.

In the rematch, Wisconsin was without junior Jon Leuer and the Buckeyes controlled the game.

Biggest Strength: Senior Leader For the second year in a row, the Big Ten’s All-Conference Team was absent of seniors. But unlike many teams in the conference, Wisconsin’s best player is also its most experienced.

Guard Trevon Hughes averaged a team-high 15 points in his final year in Madison. Hughes led the Badgers to wins over Ohio State, Purdue and Michigan State this season, so it is certainly feasible that he could carry Wisconsin to a tournament championship.

Biggest Weakness: Playing Away from Home The Badgers were an impressive 16-1 on their home floor this year, but when they ventured away from Madison, things proved to be much more difficult.

They went just 7-6 in their road- and neutralcourt games, including a loss at Wisconsin-Green Bay in December. For one reason or another, Wisconsin is simply not the same team when not at home and they will need to find away to shake those tendencies when they arrive in Indianapolis.

Northwestern Many predicted before the season started that Northwestern had a chance to reach the program’s first NCAA tournament.

However, at 7-11 in Big Ten play, the Wildcats did not have quite the season they had hoped for.

They will play their first round game against Indiana on Thursday.

Biggest Strength: Budding Star Sophomore John Shurna averaged just seven points and three rebounds a season ago, but more than doubled that output during his second season in Evanston.

Shurna was by far the brightest spot of the Wildcat’s disappointing season and was named second-team All-Big Ten. It’s hard to believe that Shurna alone will be enough for Northwestern to make a run this weekend, but if they were to get

by Indiana, a Hummel-less Purdue will be waiting.

Stranger things have happened.

Biggest Weakness: Preseason Injuries Quite frankly, the majority of Northwestern’s struggles this season were due to nothing more than bad luck. Before the season started, the Wildcats lost seniors Kevin Coble and Jeff Ryan, who both suffered season-ending injuries.

Their absence left little for coach Bill Carmody to deal with, and with a lack of top talent left on the roster, they could be expecting a short stay in Indianapolis.

Michigan As disappointing as Northwestern’s season was, Michigan stole the show as far as underachievers go. Many expected the Wolverines to at least finish in the top half of the conference, and with junior Manny Harris returning from an All-Conference sophomore season, it was thought they had an outside shot to compete for a conference title.

After finishing 7-11 in Big Ten play, however, the Wolverines earned the No. 8 seed in the tournament.

They begin play Thursday against Iowa.

Biggest Strength: Versatility Though both have struggled at times this year,

Illinois Sunday’s loss to Wisconsin completed a brutal final three weeks for the Fighting Illini. After beating the Badgers in Madison Feb. 9, Illinois lost five of its last six games to end the year.

Needless to say, they won’t enter the tournament with much momentum.

Biggest Strength: Point Guard Play The Illini live and die with the play of All-Conference point guard Demetri McCamey. McCamey leads Illinois with nearly 15 points per game. More importantly, however, he leads the conference with 6.8 assists per game, and handed out a school record 16 in a game at Purdue.

Biggest Weakness: Streaky Shooting In their win at Wisconsin earlier in the year, the Illini shot 53 percent from the field. Five days later, however, Illinois shot an abysmal 34 percent, including a 4-24 mark from beyond the 3-point line.

It has been up and down all year for the Illini and, unfortunately for them, their shooting may have hit rock bottom at the absolute worst time.

Check thelantern.com all weekend for extensive coverage of the Big Ten Tournament Harris and senior DeShawn Sims have the potential to provide a one-two punch that could give the opposition fits.

Harris has the ability to beat people off the dribble, as well as shoot from the outside. Similarly, Sims can score both in the low-post and on medium to long-range jump shots. If Michigan hopes to make a splash in the tournament, both will have to be at the top of their games.

Biggest Weakness: Lack of Rebounding The Wolverines rank last in the conference in rebounding margin. For a team that has struggled so mightily at times this season shooting the basketball, it is imperative that they find away to get second chances, and stop their opponents from doing the same.

If they continue to be dominated on the glass, however, don’t expect much of a run from Michigan.

#11 Penn State Minnesota Like Illinois, the Golden Gophers have also had a roller coaster season of sorts. They have a win at home against Wisconsin but a pair of heartbreaking losses to two of the conference’s best teams, Purdue and Michigan State. However, Minnesota also registered a loss at Northwestern and a 28-point defeat at the hands of Michigan.

They begin tournament play Thursday night against Penn State and with a win would play Michigan State Friday.

Biggest Strength: 3-Point Shooting The Golden Gophers led the conference in 3-point shooting. The effort was led by junior Blake Hoffarber, who OSU coach Thad Matta called the best outside shooter in the entire country.

Both Hoffarber and senior Lawrence Westbrook shoot better than 42 percent from beyond the arc and both will have to string together four days of hot shooting if Minnesota has any chance at working its way through the field.

Biggest Weakness: Inconsistency Their last two games serve as the perfect example: Minnesota beat Iowa by 33 on Sunday, but before that came the blowout loss at Michigan.

Depending on which team shows up in Indianapolis, the Gophers may not need to make reservations beyond Thursday.

Game 8 Winner

Source: Big Ten Conference official athletic site

Iowa Just four seasons ago, the Iowa Hawkeyes beat Ohio State in the finals to become Big Ten champions. The current Hawkeyes, however, are a much different story.

Iowa recorded losses to TexasSan Antonio, Duquesne and Northern Iowa among others before entering conference play, and things hardly improved. They finished 4-14 in Big Ten play and failed to beat a single team in the top half of the league.

They tip off the tournament Thursday against Michigan.

Biggest Strength: Youth As bad as the season has been for the Hawkeyes, the future appears to have some promise. Iowa has only one senior on the roster so, if nothing else, this weekend’s tournament could serve as valuable experience for Iowa’s youth-laden team.

Biggest Weakness: Youth The very reason that could give folks in Iowa City a hint of optimism for what lies ahead is the same reason why the Hawkeyes will likely have no impact on this year’s tournament. Without any significant experience on this team, it would be nothing short of a miracle to see Iowa playing more than one or two games this weekend.

Indiana Surprisingly enough, as storied as Indiana’s basketball program is, they have yet to win a Big Ten Tournament title.

Don’t expect that to change this season.

The Hoosiers ran off a streak of 11 straight losses en route to a 4-14 conference record and the tournament’s No. 10 seed. They will play Northwestern in the first round.

Biggest Strength: Guard Play Unfortunately for the Hoosiers, guard Maurice Creek was injured before Big Ten play began. Creek averaged more than 16 points a game before the injury, but in his absence, sophomore Verdell Jones III has stepped up.

Jones is averaging nearly 15 points a game, and has scored at least 20 points eight times in Big Ten play. There isn’t much in store for the remainder of this season in Bloomington, but with both Creek and Jones in the program, perhaps there is reason to believe Indiana is on its way back.

Biggest Weakness: Sharing the Basketball The Hoosiers are last in the conference in both assists and assist-to-turnover ratio. The problem was on full display when Indiana turned the ball over 23 times in a December loss at Ohio State. They handed out just nine assists that night, and if they expect to challenge Northwestern on Thursday, they must do a better job.

For a team with several deficiencies both offensively and defensively, they can ill afford to be that careless with the basketball.

Penn State The Nittany Lions won just three games in conference play this season, but it was some of their losses that were most impressive. Time and time again this year, Penn State has played up to or down to their level of competition, including losses to Michigan State and Purdue last week by a combined six points.

They have given every team in the conference nearly all they could handle at least once this season, but rarely executed well enough down the stretch to earn a win. They will begin their campaign for redemption Thursday against Minnesota.

Biggest Strength: Talor Battle In a season of disappointing loss after disappointing loss, Talor Battle has been the lone bright spot this year in Happy Valley. As the only Penn

State player to average double-digit points, Battle scored 18.8 points a game.

Battle has proven to be one of the better players in the league, and if he was on a more successful team, he probably would have been a strong contender for first-team All-Conference. Nonetheless, if Penn State hopes to make a miracle run this weekend, it will likely be Battle that carries the bulk of the load.

Biggest Weakness: Inability to Finish Penn State led by as many as 16 points at Wisconsin before eventually losing in overtime. They lost on a last second shot against Minnesota. They nearly upset Purdue twice, and lost to Michigan State by just two in East Lansing.

As close as these games were, they were still losses. They showed that Penn State has the potential to hang with any team in this tournament, but they clearly have to figure some things out if they hope to do so this weekend.

However, a couple of well-timed baskets down the stretch, and the Nittany Lions could potentially turn a lot of heads in Indianapolis.

sports Big Ten Tournament forecast: foggy with a chance of upsets ZacK meiSel Sports editor meisel.14@osu.edu

JOShua a. daVidSOn Lantern reporter davidson.252@osu.edu

GRanT FReKinG Lantern reporter freking.4@osu.edu

1. People should stop sleeping on the Wisconsin Badgers.

Bo Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew finished just one game behind the Big Ten champion trio of Ohio State, Michigan State and Purdue. The Badgers won their final four regular season games by an average of 20.3 points per contest. Plus, Wisconsin recently welcomed forward Jon Leuer back from injury. The 6-foot-10-inch junior promptly responded by winning the Big Ten Player of the Week award last week.

1. If there is such a thing as a sleeper in the conference tournament, Michigan is it. The Maize and Blue are led by Manny Harris and DeShawn Sims, two of the most talented players in the Big Ten. After being a top 15 team in the preseason, Michigan has severely underachieved. However, a conference tournament championship still provides the Wolverines with a berth in the NCAA Tournament, which is plenty of motivation for their two-star upperclassmen.

1. The tournament is Ohio Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to lose. Sure, Michigan State is a deeper team and Wisconsin is a popular sleeper pick, but OSU has the ultimate trump card in Evan Turner. The likely Big Ten and National Player of the Year is capable of taking over and dominating any of the teams in the bracket. The Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; only concern is depth, since coach Thad Matta rarely plays more than one or two guys off the bench.

2. The first round should be a snooze-fest. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect lowly Indiana to give Northwestern trouble. To prevent its bubble from being burst, expect Minnesota to fend off Penn State. And whoever wins the Michigan-Iowa matchup will only matter for another 24 hours before losing to Ohio State. The hard-fought, intense games wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t begin until the quarterfinals on Friday.

2. The most intriguing game in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tournament is probably the quarterfinal matchup between Wisconsin and Illinois. The Fighting Illini will be battling for an NCAA berth and another quality win over Wisconsin could lock up an at-large bid.

However, Bo Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Badgers are a tough out in the Big Ten Tournament and are playing to improve their own seed come Selection Sunday. The border rivals split their regular season games, both teams winning on the road.

2. Illinois-Wisconsin will produce a surprise winner. Illinois shot itself in the foot to end the regular season, dropping five of its last six to put its NCAA Tournament hopes squarely on the bubble.

However, they have a poor manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Evan Turner in guard and fellow St. Joseph product Demetri McCamey, who is capable of breaking down opposing defenses like his high school teammate. A win over Wisconsin could be enough for the Fighting Illini to sneak into the NCAA Tournament.

3. Look for Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Raymar Morgan to be the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Most Outstanding Player. The forward possesses tremendous talent but has been inconsistent throughout his career.

But now, as a senior, this is Morganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last chance at Spartan immortality and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing like it. Morgan scored a season-high 22 points on senior night in East Lansing, Mich., for the Spartansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; last game. Also MSU needs to replace the scoring of suspended guard Chris Allen.

Look for Morgan to pick up the slack.

3. Purdue could falter in the quarterfinals. Now that star forward Robbie Hummel is out for the season, the Boilermakersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; frontcourt depth is questionable. If JaJuan Johnson gets into foul trouble, Purdue becomes a below-average offensive team and is very capable of being beaten by either Indiana or Northwestern.

3. The NCAA Tournament committee will be praying that a Cinderella isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t still alive come 3:30 p.m. Sunday. Should Michigan, Penn State or Northwestern sneak into the tournament final, the committee will be sweating it out. Since the Big Ten Championship game is the last one to take place, the NCAA Tournament bracket is usually mapped out before the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conclusion. A team hovering around mediocrity could throw a wrench into the committeeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans by advancing on to Sunday.

4. No Big Ten team will receive a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. However, at least two will receive No. 2 seeds. Unless Duke falters very early in the ACC Tournament, the final No. 1 seed will belong to Coach Kâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blue Devils. The winner of the Big Ten Tournament will likely receive a No. 2 seed, as long as the winner is Ohio State, Purdue or Michigan State. If any of those teams reach the tournament final, that squad should also earn a No. 2.

5. Michigan State will top Ohio State for the Big Ten Tournament title. The Spartans peaked in March last season, when they surprised everyone outside of East Lansing by reaching the NCAA Championship game. Their depth could give OSU trouble, since the Buckeyes rarely play more than six players.

4. Curse of the No. 1 seed: of the 12 previous Big Ten Tournaments, the top seed has only won four times. Fans of top-seeded Ohio State shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to be dancing on the court at Conseco Fieldhouse come Sunday. However, if the Buckeyes do claim the tournament championship, they look to be destined for greatness in the NCAA Tournament. Three of the four No. 1 seeds who did win the conference tournament advanced to the Final Four.

5. Even with Chris Allen suspended, Michigan State has the talent and depth to win the Big Ten Tournament. Tom Izzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams are built for tournament play, as can be seen by his five Final Four appearances. The Spartans will defeat Wisconsin on Sunday to claim their third conference tournament championship. In turn, MSU will lock up a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

4. The Big Ten failed to live up to the hype this season. The conference sent seven teams to the NCAA Tournament last season and national pundits predicted that as many as eight teams would make it this season. However, Michigan and Minnesota struggled with inconsistency and were colossal disappointments. Moreover, Northwestern, hoping to gain a bid to the tournament for the first time in school history, had their hopes extinguished in November when the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading scorer, Kevin Coble, broke his foot and opted for season-ending surgery.

5. Ohio State will prevail over Michigan State in the Big Ten Tournament finale. Evan Turner will begin his postseason crusade by shredding the Spartan defense and putting the Buckeyes up early, similar to what happened when OSU visited East Lansing last month.

The Buckeyes will hold off Sparty, and depending on Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ACC Tournament success, may secure a No. 1 seed.

Analyzing the Big Ten bubble watch ZacK meiSel Sports editor meisel.14@osu.edu With the Big Ten Tournament set to begin, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take a look at how each Big Ten team stacks up in the battle for NCAA Tournament entry:

SURE MY SANDWICHES A R E G O U R M E T.

Purdue (26-4, 14-4) In college basketball, teams can feel the effect of a major injury off the court too. Even if Purdue wins the Big Ten Tournament, it remains unlikely that the Boilermakers would receive a No. 1 seed mainly because their second-leading scorer, Robbie Hummel, is out for the season with a torn ACL. Purdue suffered a loss to Michigan State that allowed both the Spartans and Ohio State to obtain a share of the Big Ten title. Since that uninspiring defeat, the Boilermakers have been viewed with a scornful eye by many. Still, Purdue will likely wind up as a No. 2 or No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Ohio State (24-7, 14-4) OSU hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played since Mar. 2, yet its national perception seems to have increased even without the team taking the floor.

The Buckeyes clinched a share of the Big Ten title with its win over Illinois in the regular season finale, and Thad Mattaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew has been discussed as a candidate for a No. 1 seed. However, that slot appears to be Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to lose.

Even so, the Buckeyes should expect to earn a No. 2 seed, or a No. 3 spot if they falter early in the conference tournament.

Michigan State (24-7, 14-4) The Spartans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand to gain or lose a whole lot, regardless of their Big Ten Tournament fate. Many experts have them penciled in as a No. 2 or No. 3 seed. Too many teams stand in

Ohio State junior Jon diebler aims to shoot a 3-pointer during the Buckeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 73-57 win over illinois on mar. 2. the way in their quest for a No. 1, while few teams from major conferences experienced as much in-conference success as Sparty. A Big Ten Tournament title would probably earn Tom Izzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad a No. 2, but the Spartans should expect nothing worse than a No. 3 seed.

Wisconsin (23-7, 13-5) Wisconsin continues to quietly sneak up on the rest of the Big Ten. The Badgers won their last four games and have a chance to deliver a costly blow to Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; March Madness hopes. ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi currently sees Wisconsin as a No. 4 seed, but that could

improve or worsen, depending on the Badgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; output this weekend in Indianapolis.

Wisconsin has a pair of signature non-conference victories, knocking off ACC foes Duke and Maryland. If Bo Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bunch is hoisting the Big Ten Tournament trophy Sunday, the committee might have to vault Wisconsin to a No. 3 seed.

Illinois (18-13, 10-8) Could the Illini fall apart at a worse time? Illinois has dropped five of its last six games, and a loss in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first-round matchup against Wisconsin could trigger a burst bubble in Champaign. The Illini do have

wins against Vanderbilt and at Clemson, but those probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough to squeak them into the NCAA Tournament without a win or two in the conference tourney.

Minnesota (18-12, 9-9) The Golden Gophers probably need at least two victories this weekend to be able to feel comfortable about their chances of going dancing. Minnesota faces Penn State in its opening round matchup â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Nittany Lions finished last in the Big Ten with a 3-15 conference record.

sports Columbus curse? Superstition could be cause for Blue Jackets’ downfall SPORTS Columnist

This is the sad tale of how I singlehandedly ruined the Columbus Blue Jackets’ season.

Superstition is rampant in the world of sports. Since the dawn of competition, men have invented games michael duchesne and then subseduchesne.2@osu.edu quently subjected themselves to unusual rituals and practices in an attempt to metaphysically improve their performances.

The ancient Phoenicians would look to the skies and implore the divine beings in the sun to bless their game of stones. The Greeks who invented the Olympics would lather one another in oil in the exact same way each time they competed in the javelin throw or discus. Gladiators in imperial Rome would salute the Emperor in the hope that his favor would help them to survive the day.

And lest you think that superstitious beliefs are limited to ignorant heathens of days long since past, some aspects of our culture remain steeped in irrational superstitions. Why else do people continue to cross the street rather than walk under a ladder, knock on wood or act all wonky on Friday the 13th?

Many of today’s most famous athletes have their own quirky, idiosyncratic tendencies.

Former Red Sox and Yankees slugger, Wade Boggs, refused to eat anything other than chicken on game days. Pitcher Mark “The Bird” Fidrych used to converse with the baseball in his hand as he prepared to face hitters. NBA superstar Michael Jordan used to wear the powder-blue gym shorts of his alma mater, the University of North Carolina, under his Chicago Bulls uniform for every game.

Legend also has it that retired Seattle Supersonic star Shawn Kemp would father an illegitimate child before every road game in hopes of a triple double.

These superstitious beliefs aren’t limited to random individuals, either. Nearly every sport worthy of the name has its own set of rituals.

Most baseball fans are aware of the fact that it is an absolute no-no to talk to a pitcher who is in the middle of a possible no-hitter. This is the same sport whose athletes refuse to touch the baselines when running on and off the field and attempt to take home the most unattractive girl in the bar when their

batting averages dip below the Mendoza line. This is a practice known as “slump busting.”

Golfers must start their rounds with an odd number of clubs. Bowlers carry more lucky charms than the leprechaun of breakfast cereal fame. And of course, everyone knows that a fisherman is destined for a bad day if he passes a barefoot woman on the way to the lake.

For hockey players, it’s all about the logo.

Like the sacred sign that hangs in the hallway outside the locker room of Jesus’ favorite football team, Notre Dame, the logo in NHL dressing rooms is sacrosanct. This was a fact pointed out to me by the Lantern writer who was covering the Columbus Blue Jackets at the time.

Because he was unable to cover that night’s game, I drew the job. After covering the basics that I would need to get into Nationwide Arena, he looked at me solemnly and asked whether or not I knew about the logo’s lore. When I responded in the negative, he proceeded to explain the ultimate taboo that is treading on a hockey team’s logo.

I made a small mental note but didn’t give it much thought. The hockey game passed by in a flash that night. I was nervous as hell as I waited in the hallway outside the dressing room. Columbus was coming off its first-ever playoff appearance and had compiled a 5-1 record in the early goings of the season. There was joy in the air and the Jackets were the toast of the town.

That was all to change.

After finishing up a particularly rousing interview with fourth-line left-winger Derek Dorsett, I turned and headed toward captain Rick Nash’s locker.

In my haste, I oafishly walked across the Blue Jackets logo woven into the dressing room carpet.

I was quickly intercepted by an angry locker room attendant.

“Stay off the logo, please,” he said tersely.

His prim demeanor lulled me into a false sense of security as I thought I had avoided an embarrassing situation.

I caught a hint of movement in my peripheral vision somewhere to my left. I turned to find its source. I was quickly horrified at the realization that it was the movement of a suddenly angry Raffi Torres advancing toward me, his lip curled into a snarl. The fact that he, like most hockey players, does not possess a full mouth of teeth only added to his frightening visage.

Eyes cast downward, muttering an apology, I quickly fled to the farthest corner of the dressing room. Heart pounding, I came to the realization that my first sports writing assignment in the locker

The rest is history. The Jackets went on an extended losing streak, fired their head coach and have posted a 26-30-11 record on the season. I’ve often wondered if there was something I could have done to reverse the jinx, like don goalie gear and let them fire shots at me.

For now, I’m resigned to the fact that I’m the guy who ruined a franchise’s season. Me and Steve Bartman.
