Picking up the pieces
After a loss against Michigan State Sunday, the OSU men’s basketball team looks ahead to the NCAA tournament.
[ a+e ]
Everything was rolling for the Ohio State men’s basketball team. After piecing together impressive back-to-back victories against Purdue and Michigan in the Big Ten tournament, a No. 1 seed for the NCAA tournament was again a possibility for the Buckeyes. Then they ran into Michigan State. The Spartans avenged their Senior Day loss against OSU from a week ago and captured the Big Ten championship with a hard fought 68-64 victory. But MSU senior forward Draymond Green, who was named the tournament’s most outstanding player, said the victory was about more than revenge. “We never play for revenge at Michigan State,” Green said. “It’s never about getting someone back. They took the last game. They did screw up some things for us, but it’s more so looking ahead.” It was Green’s 3-pointer with 1:30 remaining in the second half that sealed the game for MSU. It gave the Spartans a five-point lead and the Buckeyes were never able to recover.
“I know my team is going to come to me when we need a play down the stretch,” said Green, who shot 4-of-15 from the floor and finished with 12 points. “I would be less of a leader to not take that shot in a moment like that.” OSU coach Thad Matta said Green’s three represented the big plays MSU made that the Buckeyes failed to capitalize on. “Down the stretch there we had some what appeared to be good looks and you have to make those,” Matta said. “You look at Draymond Green hit that big three. (Sophomore forward Deshuan Thomas) was right there on the challenge and it goes in.” It wasn’t only Green who made big plays for MSU, though. OSU had a sevenpoint lead with 14:06 left in the game when MSU senior guard Brandon Wood hit two consecutive 3-pointers as part of a 10-0 MSU run. The Spartans took the lead and never relinquished it. Wood finished with a gamehigh 21 points. “Things kind of bogged down for us on the offensive end,” said sophomore guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. “We stopped communicating, stopped getting back and they

It’s been almost 10 years since a trio of young adults from San Diego took off to Uganda with their video cameras in tow. It’s been about 26 years since guerrilla war leader Joseph Kony began his militant group that abducts children, turning them into sex slaves and soldiers of the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA). After a decade of raising awareness about the LRA, Invisible Children has established a new campaign. Led by Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole, IC describes itself as being more than a nonprofit, but exists as an awareness organization. Their mission is to support the war-torn areas in East and Central Africa and to stop LRA violence, according to its website. Kony 2012 is IC’s latest campaign focused on finding Kony, and is centered around a 30-minute video that went viral in the last week. With more than 72 million hits on YouTube on Sunday, the video has sparked many tears, fits of action and criticisms. One OSU professor says the mission of Kony 2012 is a difficult undertaking, but to make real change, African governments need to coordinate and work together. The video shares the message that in order to capture Kony, he must be come famous. It says he must become a household name and everyone must know who he is so the U.S. government sees that America still cares enough for them to financially and

“There is an expiration date on the video (because) this action needs to take a year,” she said. “(It’s) to show the power that mass media has.” While the point of the video is using the power of social media and the Internet to spread the message, it has become a double-edged sword.

USG aims to give students more bang for their books

The allocation of funds by the nonprofit organization Invisible Children has come into question with the recent release of their latest campaign, Kony 2012. Here is a breakdown of their expenses from 2011:
USG created the Buckeye Book Swap, allowing students to possibly get more money for selling back their books.
After exams have been taken, papers written and presentations given, many students plan to sell their used textbooks, adding a little extra cash to their wallets. Kicking off their Buckeye Textbook Swap initiative, Undergraduate Student Government representatives hope to give students more than what campus bookstores have been willing to pay them for their used textbooks. “It’s basically a textbook exchange, you sell it for more than the bookstore price,” said Nick Messenger, USG president. “You cut out the bookstore and the upcharge.” Messenger said he expects the program to save students $80 each quarter on average, earning roughly $25 more per book sold. Similar programs have been implemented at the University of Wisconsin and Michigan State University.
During finals week, drop-off stations will be located at the Ohio Union and outside the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library on the Oval side of the building. Students will be able to drop off their used textbooks and get a price recommendation from USG members working the stations. Students are asked to set their own price for the book, which will then be collected to be resold during the first week of Spring Quarter. If a book is sold, the seller will receive that payment on their BuckID, and if it doesn’t sell, their book will be returned to them. Students will be able to search online to find out if USG has collected the books they want to purchase for spring classes. “There’s an online component so you can look up the book you need. You can take a look at the website and see what is available and what you want to buy,” Messenger said. USG partnered with textyard.com to log and

campus Weinland Park receives makeover, destruction for some anna dUee For the Lantern duee.1@osu.edu A leaking bathroom, shaking windows, faulty outlets, tiny rooms, mice and roaches as housemates. These are just some descriptions of the new home Leannette Lyles and her five children live in. Lyles called the Weinland Park neighborhood her home for almost 25 years, until she found a note on her door saying she had to move out within the next two-and-a-half months. Lyles experienced the downside of Campus Partner’s long-term project to revitalize Weinland Park. With the rise of value for those old and new properties, the rent will go up. Some residents might not be able to pay the new amount and have no other option than to leave. Erin Prosser, spokeswoman for Campus Partners, said the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which is a federal program, includes ideas and suggestions of the community to enforce its safety and upliftment. Weinland Park had a lot of vacant and abandoned houses, which caused the crime rate to increase and created an unsafe environment.

As a result, people stopped investing in their properties and new residents chose not to move in. In collaboration with a contractor, NRP Group LLC., Campus Partner’s goal was to lower the crime and poverty rate and bring in more people with higher incomes. This is why the newly built and renovated housings on Grant and Sixth avenues are income-restricted. Applicants who qualify will still be able to purchase the NRP housings after 15 years of leasing, Prosser said. The NRP homes will require couples to make about $65,000 per year in order to purchase the mortgage. Lyles, who is on disability, didn’t meet the income requirements. Even though she was one of the community members participating in the Weinland Park Neighborhood Plan, she had to leave. “They ask our input, they did and when we gave it, we gave it honestly, but at the end we are not even there to reap the benefits to feel safe, to feel welcomed,” said Lyles, who said she felt betrayed by Campus Partners. “They are buying people’s houses to rent them to people so they can get more money.” Lyles moved to her new residence on 4th Avenue in July 2011. Most of her life, Lyles was part of the Weinland Park community. She knew the neighbors and the neighbors knew her. Lyles said people were looking out for each other, and she felt she never had to worry about her kids playing in the neighborhood, since there was a block watch program provided. When she refused to leave, Hometeam Properties came and packed her belongings within a day, Lyles said. When her kids returned from camp they discovered a vacant house. Thomas Heilman, owner of Hometeam Properties, said he cares a lot about his tenants and he tried his best to help Lyles find a new place and even helped her move. Heilman said renovating the building, which was in bad condition, is something he did for the community, since it gives people a chance to have a good home for an appropriate price. Lucy Waechter Webb and her husband were some of the first people to buy an NSP home. Although she said she sees a positive change coming, she still thinks the community isn’t mindful about everyone living in Weinland Park. Waechter Webb said most families can’t go from $500 up to $1,200 rent per month. Many of these houses are marketed toward students, who are able to split the cost of rent between several people. “The line starts to get blurry, because (landlords) are not saying no, we don’t want this black family with five children living here anymore,

Some residents of the weinland Park neighborhood rejuvenation are feeling adverse effects of the program and have been forced to move away. they don’t say that, but their actions reveal what their motivations are,” Waechter Webb said. “They can be prosecuted, that’s illegal to discriminate for housing based on race, family style, etc.” Weinland Park offers a lot of room for people to come in, without having to push other people out, Waechter Webb said. She thinks the neighborhood is “not hurting for space” and the goal should be to create options that would allow residents to stay if they want to. Families like Lyles’, whose income is too low for the NRP and NSP housings, but too high for the Community Properties of Ohio Housings, are losing housing options in Weinland Park. Regardless of her situation, Lyles said she is determined to return to the neighborhood. She is working toward a degree from Columbus State Community College which will allow her to get a job with what she considers a decent income and fulfill her dream of buying a house.

aManda PierCe Lantern reporter pierce.343@osu.edu With an abnormally balmy 70-degree Leap Day, Winter Quarter was hardly winter. The quarter opened with a disappointing loss at the Gator Bowl and continued with vandalism, million-dollar donations and partnerships and a new name for the Medical Center. Gators take bite out of Buckeyes The Florida Gators’ defense and special teams play was more than the Ohio State football team could contend with in the 2012 Gator Bowl Jan. 2. Florida redshirt sophomore wide receiver Andre Debose scored on a 99-yard kickoff return and the Gators’ defense forced two turnovers and scored on a blocked punt to win the bowl game, 24-17. “We didn’t get the job done,” OSU then-head coach Luke Fickell said after the game. “Special teams … is obviously the glaring thing. The story of the game is going to be the big plays and most of them happened on special teams.” OSU finished the season with a 6-7 record, the Buckeyes’ first losing record since 1988.

Some replicas extinct after Orton Hall vandalism OSU Police arrested a student carrying more than $2,000 worth of prehistoric replicas from an on-campus museum, shortly after the student broke into Orton Hall Jan. 8, according to police reports. Nathaniel Harger, a second-year in biology, allegedly broke into the Orton Geological Museum and attempted to steal several valuable items on display in the museum, when University police arrested him. University police responded to multiple alarms from Orton Hall, located on the south side of the Oval, just after 2:30 a.m. Jan. 8. After conducting a search of the building, officers located Harger with $2,090 worth of stolen property in his possession. Deputy Chief Richard Morman of University police said Harger was intoxicated and resisted arrest. In addition to the $2,090 he was allegedly caught stealing, University police said Harger damaged $5,200 worth of objects at the museum including a dunkleosteus terrelli (a prehistoric fish) replica valued at $4,000, according to police reports.
Arts and Sciences receives $6 million donation OSU alumnus Lawrence Barnett donated $6 million to the College of Arts and Sciences Jan. 17 to establish a new arts center and support Sullivant Hall renovations. Barnett’s donation will be used to create the Lawrence and Isabel Barnett Center for Integrated Arts and Enterprise, which will house a conference room and the Barnett Theatre, according to an OSU press release. A portion of the donation will also go toward continuing extensive renovations of Sullivant Hall. When the building is complete, it will house the new Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum and the departments of dance and art education in the College of Arts and Sciences. The updated music hall will also include the Advanced Computing Center for the Arts and Design, according to the press release. OSU inks $125M deal with Huntington Bank OSU and Huntington Bank have agreed on a $125 million deal that gives the Columbus-based bank exclusive rights to campus in exchange for a $25 million lump sum payment and future investment in the surrounding area. Geoff Chatas, OSU’s chief financial officer, said
this money will be used directly to improve the “academic core” of the university. “It’s a significant amount of money we will be investing into the student experience at Ohio State,” Chatas said. Chatas said $10 million of the $25 million will be put directly into the endowment and used for classroom improvement. “There is plenty of renovation on campus that needs to be done,” Chatas said. “Whether it’s the renovating of classrooms or investing in different programs at Ohio State.” OSU Medical Center renamed in honor of Leslie H. Wexner OSU alumnus Leslie H. Wexner was honored Feb. 10 with the renaming of the OSU Medical Center to The Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University. The OSU Board of Trustees voted unanimously on the renaming of the hospital in honor of Wexner’s leadership and service to the university, Gee said in an email to faculty, students and staff. In February 2011, Wexner donated $100 million to the medical center, Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Wexner Center for the Arts, which was the largest single donation in the history of the university.

were able to make those and capitalize off of those and make shots at the end of the game.” Sophomore forward Jared Sullinger’s 18 points led the Buckeyes in scoring, but OSU’s big man needed 19 shots to amass the total and was limited in the first half due to foul trouble. Sullinger averaged 24 points per game during the tournament and was named to the All-Tournament team along with Thomas. Green said MSU’s defense on the Buckeyes around Sullinger was the difference. “Jared’s going to score. They go to him every time. He’s gong to score,” Green said. “If you can contain Thomas and (senior guard William) Buford and the rest of those guys, we can win the game.” The Spartan victory earned them a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. OSU is a No. 2 seed in the East Region of the bracket and will face No. 15-seed Loyola Maryland in the first round. The Buckeyes said they’ll learn from their loss against MSU and start new in the Big Dance, but for now the loss still hurts. “Maybe tomorrow I’ll be excited about where we’ll go, but as of now it hurts to lose. I don’t like to lose,” Sullinger said. “We took a bump in the road. Luckily, we see tomorrow.” And starting tomorrow, Buford said the team has a singular focus. Win. “Really in your life nothing else matters for those three weeks that you want to try to get to the Final Four and win it,” Buford said. “If we stay together as

Group president encourages others to form own opinions because the campaign has made a lot of exaggerated claims,” said Kendra Gallagher, a first-year in business. “Invisible Children also only spends about a third of its money on central African programs … so there has been a lot of controversy about where the money has gone.” As a nonprofit, and in their efforts to be financially transparent, IC offers public information regarding their finances on their website. IC garnered nearly $13.8 million in revenue for the 2011 fiscal year, and spent about $8.9 million. Of this budget, the largest percentage of it, 37 percent, went to programs in Central Africa; 26 percent went to awareness programs and 16 percent to general management. The rest of the money was allocated to various areas such as fundraising, media and film creation and awareness projects. In an interview with NBC on the Today show, Russell responded to financial criticism by citing that they do not follow a traditional model where 100 percent of proceeds go directly to one cause. “Our model is three-fold: the movie, the movement and the mission,” Russel said. “The mission is to end the war and rehabilitate these child soldiers. It’s a three-prong approach, we think different, it’s unorthodox on purpose.” The International Criminal Court indicted Kony in 2005. And while he is not the only war leader in the world committing such acts, it’s important he be used as an example, Babcock said. “You can’t just commit genocide and all these atrocities, and then get away with it,” Babcock said. “It’s not to say that he is the only one, it’s not to say that this is the only issue. Just to say that, to capture Kony is to make an example of it.” Kelechi A. Kalu, director for OSU’s center
Swap from 1A
USG will
not make a profit on the Textbook Swap sell all the books they plan to sell, said Sean Fitzpatrick, a academic affairs director of USG. Fitzpatrick said textyard.com is letting USG use this service for free. While USG will not set a price for students to sell their books, they give recommendations based on information they can find about the book in order for students to agree to a competitive price. “One of the benchmarks we use is 75 percent of the new Amazon value,” Messenger said. Students can identify a competitive market value by comparing the prices various campus locations offer them. To provide context, The Lantern compared the buyback profit of a single textbook with several campus stores and the Buckeye Textbook Swap recommendation. “Born to Talk: An Introduction to Speech and Language Development (5th Edition),” is a required textbook for Speech and Hearing
for African studies, said the movement’s success is debatable because the campaign is coming from outside of the affected countries. “(Collective African governments) need to go after him, that would be the best way to capture him, try him if possible,” Kalu said. “Coming from the outside to try to capture him is not going to be easy. Kony 2012 is not a regime, is not a government … to the extent of what I do know of them, they do not have the logistics to capture him. It has to be coordinated government efforts to go after him.” Another judgement about the human rights organization is in regard to its partnership with the Ugandan government, an army known for looting and raping in their own villages. IC responds by saying they do not financially support the Ugandan government or any other governments. “The reason we partner with (the Ugandan government) is because out of all of the governments around there … the Congo is a failed state, they don’t have an army,” Babcock said. “The Ugandan army is the only one that is equipped and well-trained enough to actually do something about this.” Kalu cited other parts of Africa, such as the Congo, Sudan and Democratic Republic of the Congo, where no governments took action during times of turmoil. “You have very weak governments in Africa across (the) board, very concentrated … without serious capacity to maintain rule and order across the countries and many of these governments are allies to western governments, and to the extent that they are doing what the western governments desire,” Kalu said. “They practically have no fear of being held accountable. The system of governments in their own countries cannot effectively hold them accountable.” The organization also receives a rating as a nonprofit called a Charity Navigator rating, which IC received a three out of four stars in 2011. The organization received two stars for accountability and transparency — Babcock said this is because they do not have five
independent voting members on their board of directors, they have four. Some Ohio State students support the movement. “(Kony 2012) is an amazing way to spread awareness about an issue that has been quiet for way too long,” said Samantha QuintellLenzi, a first-year in international studies and Spanish. “I am very intrigued to see where this will lead, and the effect Facebook, of all things, will have. Who knows? Maybe it can save their lives.” On April 16, IC representatives will be traveling from San Diego to Columbus for a screening of Kony 2012 and will be available to speak, answer questions and sell merchandise. April 20 marks the nationwide “Cover the Night” event. Invisible Children chapters and followers across the country are called to blanket their cities with pictures, posters, signs, stickers and more, all with Kony’s name and face on them. “The city will go to sleep Friday night and wake up Saturday morning with Kony’s face everywhere,” Babcock said. “They want Kony to be a household name, and for people to know who he is.” Other OSU students are less likely to follow the crowd supporting the organization. “It’s easy to see that what Kony is doing is completely and totally wrong, that goes without saying,” said King Collins, a first-year in biology and psychology. “However, I feel that simply liking a status on Facebook or reiterating this sentiment does nothing to help the situation. So many people got caught up in the bandwagon effect that they forgot to actually take the time to learn the facts.” Despite her passion for the issue, Babcock encourages everyone to do their homework and make their own judgement on the organization and the Kony 2012 movement. “It’s OK to be skeptical, but just research all sides,” Babcock said. “When you see the Kony 2012 video, don’t blindly support it; research what you are supporting. But if you see one blog that’s against Kony 2012, don’t blindly believe that either; research all of your options … form your own opinion.”
Science 330. Student Book Exchange offered $35 to buy back the textbook and is selling them for $100 used and $133 new. The campus Barnes and Noble offered to buy the book back for $34, and according to their online Ohio State textbook shop, sold them for $100 used and $133.35 new for the Winter Quarter section of the course. Amazon.com is selling the book new for $103 and between $57 and $80 used. Messenger said the Textbook Swap recommendation would be that the student lists the book between $65 and $80, which if sold, would give them up to $45 more than they would have received from a campus bookstore. Some students like the idea of getting more back for their books. “I think it’s a great idea,” said Britni Fortney, a fourth-year in radiologic sciences and therapy. “I would definitely use it.” Despite her approval, Fortney said she had some reservations at first about the initiative. “Professors change books all the time, which could be a huge problem. Some people also wait until later in the quarter to buy books, a lot of people wait to go to class a few times to find out if they’re even going to need it,” Fortney said.
The program doesn’t cater to students who choose to do this, since unsold books are redistributed to their owners after the first week of Spring Quarter. UBX Book Exchange general manager Andrew Gordon, who on March 8 hadn’t heard of the program, cited similar flaws in the program. “My first thought is that books change a lot, so it sounds like USG is going to lose money on this,” Gordon said. Messenger confirmed that USG will make no profit on the Textbook Swap, and that all money collected will go directly to the selling student. Gordon said he thinks the program has the potential to hurt his business. “It’ll probably take some business away from me, but I don’t know how popular it will be,” Gordon said. Messenger said he doesn’t know how popular it will be either. “I don’t know if I’d set a number to it. Nothing like this has ever been done before at Ohio State. I think it will travel by word of mouth, and every time we do it, people will see it and use it more,” Messenger said. Messenger said the textbooks collected will be stored at the university in “a few secure store units at the Union” over Spring Break.

campus $102M for Wexner Medical Center to go paperless Jaime Ortega-Simo Lantern reporter ortega-simo.1@osu.edu The Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University recently made a more than $100 million change to the way it stores data, transitioning to an electronic medical record (EMR), which can store, retrieve and modify records. “The switch to a single, integrated EMR helps us serve our patients with personalized health care,” Marti Leitch, a medical center spokesperson, said in an email. She said the cost for the new system that stores all the information was about $102 million. “Being able to share that seamlessly among care providers makes it easier and more efficient to find information and care for our patients,” Leitch said. Leitch also said for OSU, the switch was vital to ensure the protection of information against electronic privacy rights. “OSUWMC is taking numerous measures to ensure patient information is protected,” Leitch said. “The EMR are stored in secure servers and access is limited and monitored.” Mark Hopkins, spokesperson for regional health care system OhioHealth, said the switch to EMR was “convenient and helpful.” “You can scan information easier, pull an X-ray scan, and look at it in no time,” Hopkins said. “If a doctor is on a vacation in Barbados Island, he can just pull the patient’s file and determine the problem from there.” Hopkins said in the “old days,” doctors pulled clipboards and recorded all the information on a piece of paper that would later be stacked on boxes, but with technological advances things are changing. Hopkins said he sees no negatives with the switch and, like Leitch, he is not concerned about allowing record information to be distributed without permission or consent from patients. “Private information stays confidential,” Hopkins said.

The Wexner Medical Center recently switched its records to an electronic system. converted ourselves to electronic records, millions of records. And we did this without hardly any problems. So the fact that we have a technological base that allows us to do this is very heartening to me.” Adam Lyddane, associate director of the Clinical System University of California San Diego, said their clinic adapted to the switch to EMR. “My experience with the EMR comes as to how to do it right,” Lyddane said. “You need a good project manager and experienced team members.” Lyddane said it is very important physicians don’t struggle using the EMR, as it’s a “huge switch” for many that don’t have experience and can become problematic if they don’t go to training. “It was difficult for everyone to mitigate at training as some people didn’t show up,” Lyddane said. “We didn’t limit our training just in one environment, but we also trained physicians on their own desktops.”

Just like Christmas, Spring Break or a 21st birthday, some Ohio State students mark their calendars months in advance when looking ahead toward finals week. The typically-stressful week might be the worst during Winter Quarter when coupled with cold weather, snow and ice. But because the entire state seemingly evaded a typical winter season, those who hoped maybe the stress level would follow suit are out of luck. Walking around the Oval on OSU’s campus, numerous students were asked a simple question, how do you deal with the stress? Leigh Neithardt, a first-year graduate student in education, said she finds physical exercise to be one of the best remedies for dealing with test stress. “I try to exercise a little bit more, go running, but it’s a little hard because I don’t have a system yet because this is only my second quarter (at OSU).” Neithardt said. “There’s not a lot of time to get stuff done, you have so much to do in such a short amount of time, so there’s no rest.” Mao Huang, a second-year in horticulture and crop science, said the weather has definitely helped her cope with the stresses of finals. “For me, one of the challenging things is being too worried. Like, sitting outside and having the
sunshine kind of cools down my mood,” Huang said. “Somehow, I think you can choose a place where it’s relatively quiet and you can just calm down a little bit.” Chelsea Schultz, a fourth-year in pharmaceutical sciences, said she tries to be as studious as she can, but stressed the importance of rest. “I just try to get started as early as I possibly can and try to spread it out and make sure there are fun things happening (in between),” Schultz said. “I try to stay away from the all-nighters and staying up too late — I can’t think without sleep.” On the contrary, Wesley Werstiuk, a first-year in exploration, said staying up to study is no problem for him, but the lack of rest can wear on a person. “I’m a night person, it’s really hard for me to fall asleep at night. Usually I’ll just stay in bed and kind of lay there forever until I fall asleep, so I don’t get much sleep anyways,” Werstiuk said. “I need sleep. I will sleep through class if I have to.” Regardless of method, style or practice, virtually all students in one way or another are pinned with at least one final. For the students with multiple exams, thoughts of Spring Break in their heads as they sleep should offer comfort in the fact that a short, but much needed, hiatus is right around the corner.

As a mainstream actor with a hit TV series and multiple movies under his belt, it might be hard to think comedic actor Jason Segel could identify with an out-of-work and friendless loser like his character in “Jeff, Who Lives at Home,” but Segel said he can identify with Jeff’s life from his own experiences. The Lantern participated in conference calls about the new film with Segel, who stars in “How I Met Your Mother” and “The Muppets,” as well as co-star Ed Helms and producer Mark Duplass. The film is scheduled to be released Friday. “I had a really unpleasant out-of-work period from like, 22 to 25 where I was just waiting around,” Segel said. “I think I related back to this time.” In Segel’s new movie, he plays 30-year-old Jeff, who, as the title states, lives at home in his mother’s basement and does not have a job or any relationships outside his family. The film takes place over the course of one day, and in that day, Jeff decides to find signs from the universe to figure out his destiny. Segel said waiting to be cast was similar to Jeff waiting for a sign. Susan Sarandon plays Jeff’s mother, Sharon. Sarandon being on set proved to be a bigger challenge for Segel than any other scenario thrown at him. “The hardest thing for me acting-wise in the whole movie is that I’ve had a crush on Susan Sarandon for like such a long time, and so just to act, just to suppress that I was wildly attracted to the woman playing my mom was easily the hardest part of the movie for me,” Segel said. Helms, who plays Andrew Bernard on “The Office” and Stu in “The Hangover” films, plays Jeff’s brother, Pat. Helms said his character presents a “chasm.” “Pat is someone who is very — is desperate to kind of portray himself as someone who really has his s--- together, but who doesn’t really have his s--- together at all,” Helms said. “And it’s that sort of chasm between what he wants to be and how he wants to present himself and what he really is that kind of defines this guy.” Mark Duplass, who co-wrote and co-directed the

Mark Duplass and his brother also directed the generally acclaimed 2010 film “Cyrus.” Mark Duplass said they are just movies about life and the sad events that might transpire. “(It’s) what we call tragic comedy, which is that comedy that is rooted in an inherently seemingly-sad situation,” Mark Duplass said. “But for us, at the end of the day, we just love these guys so much and we root for them and we want them to win.” The Duplass brothers pull a lot of inspiration from documentary films. “We love these sort of iconic … lovable, loserperson personalities to anchor our films and Jeff … is a character who is an unlikely hero and certainly has that lovable loser quality,” Mark Duplass said. That regular type of guy is what drew Segel to the role. “It was so simple, at least in my mind,” Segel

This soulful songbird from across the pond has been on everyone’s lips. Her sophomore album, “21,” gave the world the perfect soundtrack for lost love, and anyone whose heart isn’t three sizes too small has undoubtedly found themselves sobbing to her sorrowful strains. The whole world cringed when she was sidelined by throat issues, but her triumphant return to the stage at the Grammys was made all the sweeter by her absolute sweep of the awards, taking home the prize for every category in which she was nominated and cementing her status as an American darling. For all her heartbreak, the world has fallen in love with Adele and I don’t see a break-up coming anytime soon.

Rihanna & Chris Brown I seldom pay any attention to the fickle world of celebrity relationships, but the saga that is the Rihanna and Chris Brown relationship has turned more than a few heads. In February 2009, Brown drew intense fire from the media for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna. While rumors have swirled about whether the two have been romantically involved in the three years since, Brown and Rihanna started a veritable frenzy when they released remixes of Rihanna’s “Birthday Cake” and Brown’s “Turn Up the Music,” each featuring the other. While far from proving the two are wooing each other once more, many scorned Rihanna for trivializing domestic abuse. No matter what comes of the collaborations, Rihanna and Brown can be sure that all eyes are on them.
said. “You just show up and be really regular, and so I think that’s what really drew me to it and then the story I think is, it’s just unbelievable.” For Mark Duplass, the highlight of the film was the experience of filming with a bigger budget, which gave him opportunities he hasn’t experienced before. “I got to shoot car-chase scenes for the first time,” Mark Duplass said. “I got to put a Porsche on the road and drive it fast and shoot it with Jason Segel sticking out of sunroof.” Segel said his favorite part of filming was that this acting job was almost a vacation compared to other sets he has worked on. “Previous to this I had been doing a lot of writing and producing of the movies that I was doing and so on this one, I got to just be invited to the party,” Segel said. “And so my job was just to show up and have a good time at the party. I really enjoyed that element of it.”

Whitney Houston It’s difficult to overstate the impact Whitney Houston had on the music industry. Her captivating beauty and powerful voice defined her generation and continues to inspire countless artists in the music industry today. Though she confounded us with bizarre behavior on the short-lived reality show “Being Bobby Brown” and visibly struggled with drugs and alcohol, Houston’s death hit the world hard. A last-minute, but touching Grammy tribute from Jennifer Hudson seemed to encapsulate the overall sentiment: For all of her flaws, we will remember Houston as the angelic voice that launched a thousand careers. It is clear that we will always love Whitney.
Baby Fever Bountiful breeders such as Jennifer Garner or Jessica Simpson were undoubtedly left feeling a little blue after the long-awaited arrival of Blue Ivy Carter, daughter of celebrity power-couple Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z (Shawn Carter). The Internet exploded with rumors that Lil’ Blue, at just more than 2 months old, already has connections in the Illuminati thanks to dear ol’ Dad. Rumor mongers spent so much time rearranging the letters in her name to spell various Satanic sayings or guessing at what “Blue” might be an acronym for (Beyoncé likes unusual epithets?) that just about every other famous mother-to-be was pushed well outside the limelight. While the Satanic baby rumors have quelled in the weeks since Blue’s arrival, there is no doubt that Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi’s recent pregnancy announcement will kick that rumor mill into high gear once more.

Decked out in matching track jackets and their signature red Converse shoes, Buck That!, Ohio State’s all-male a cappella group, has enjoyed success on the stage. The group took first place at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella quarterfinals in Kettering, Ohio, Feb. 25. The competition draws a cappella groups from across the nation and D.W. Routte, president and founder of Buck That! and graduate student in city and regional planning, said the group was honored to be accepted to the competition. “The fact that we even made the event was an

accomplishment in our eyes,” Routte said. “We’ve never done this before so this is all new territory.” The group was started in October 2010 and Routte said Buck That! was by far the youngest group at the competition. Despite their freshman status, the group took home first place, earning them a spot in the semifinal competition at Washington University in St. Louis March 24. The group also received awards for best musical arrangement and best choreography. As newcomers to the ICCA competition scene, Jon Coale, group member and third-year in business, said they wanted to be original. “We tried to keep our style as close to our identity as possible … and kind of bring something new to the a cappella table,” Coale said. Buck That! performed “It’s Gonna Be Me” by ‘N Sync. Routte said it was a crowd-pleaser.
“We were certainly the most choreographed group there, by far,” Routte said. Routte and choreographer Grant “Buddy” Gannon, a third-year in journalism, draw from their experiences in high school show choir to spice up their performances. “When we envision a show and the choreography that goes along with it, it’s a little more involved,” Routte said. “Our show is a lot more energetic than a lot of the other groups.” Coale said the addition of choreography adds dynamic and depth to the group’s performances. “If we can keep looking for those new ways to kind of shock our audience or catch people on their toes, that’s what we’re striving for,” Coale said.

[ a+e ] Columbus’ Own
In an attempt to shine light on local music, The Lantern’s “Columbus’ Own” is a series that will profile a new Columbus band every week.
Stella blends passion, nihilism for other-worldly sound JAMES GARCIA Senior Lantern reporter garcia.299@osu.edu You’re at a local bar, it’s late and your buzz has reached a high point and you’re staring at people, wondering why they exist. You might be wondering what the point of your pathetic life is and how you’ve lasted so long on this miserable planet. Then the next band steps onto the stage and your existence is two parts confirmed to one part called into further question. This band is Stella. The members of Stella hail from Cincinnati where they attended Sycamore High School together. They’ve been playing music for the better part of a decade and were in bands in high school, but, oddly enough, had never played together until they met up again at Ohio State. There is Kevin Hall, guitarist, vocalist and a fourth-year in biology and neuroscience; Charlie Manion, bassist and third-year in art; and drummer Lauri Reponen, who is taking a break from school, but will return in the fall as a fifth-year in mechanical engineering. It would be hard for a good journalist to pinpoint exactly what genre of music comes from Stella. A lazy one might call them progressive hardcore or experimental metal. Whether one witnesses it live or through recordings, it becomes apparent almost immediately that this is not your typical band. Rhythmic experimentation and pushing the physical boundaries of their instruments is a regular part of any Stella song. “The way Kevin writes is really novel, and I feel interested by the music he writes, always. I think that’s why it works, Kevin being the primary songwriter,” Manion said. “I find it exciting. There are little challenges presented every time Kevin writes music we have to overcome. Sporadic rhythm changes and really bizarre chord changes. As a player I get to navigate those new sonic spaces and figure out how to make it work.” Hall brings songs he’s written to practice, where Manion and Reponen “find a main groove and build around that,” Reponen said. “The songs kind of change as we play them,” Manion said. “We improvise a lot. We’ve never really talked about it, but improvisation is a really big part of what we do and how we write. The songs take on new character after we play them for a while.” The end result is something Reponen feels is not often heard in popular, contemporary music. “The way Kevin writes things, the way our songs come out, there’s not much precedence for that type of style,” Reponen said. “I feel like we have a certain advancement to rock music that we brought.” Hall said his writing is inspired by bands from the record label SKiN GRAFT Records and 20th century composers such as Krzysztof Penderecki, Charles Ives and John Coltrane. “There isn’t so much a certain goal in mind for what I aspire to do, so much as it is what I get off to. I’m serious,” Hall said. “There just are these certain sounds that are like, ‘Holy f---! That sounds so cool!’
My

Lauri Reponen (left), Kevin Hall (middle) and Charlie Manion (right) make up local band Stella. And either it’s inspiring or makes me feel awesome. In like a drug kind of way. (We) just have to keep plugging and plugging away to find that sound, how to connect everything to this climaxing moment, maybe.” Each of the members has a personal style of performing to create their unprecedented collective sound. “I’ve been really interested in physically struggling with the instrument. So there’s this emphasis I’m putting on pushing it past its limits by playing really hard. I want to be tearing up my fingers in the strings,” Manion said. “I think a lot of players don’t do that because it’s sloppy, but I think it lends a lot of energy live, and it adds some sort of drama to the bass that I think is compelling.” Manion’s bass-handling, which is inspired by Les Claypool, Victor Wooten and Omar Rodriguez Lopez, adds a driving punch to the band’s sound. And complimenting the complexities of the bass and guitar riffs, Reponen tightens the sound up with percussion of a minimalistic persuasion. “I learned a lot of Tool songs back in the day. System of a Down. And recently, I’ve been getting into a more minimalist style, like Dave Grohl, where you play as little as possible, but don’t play more than you need to,” Reponen said.
The bass and guitar together hit diverse octaves, creating a symphony of harmonies and dynamic tonal ranges, all the while maintaining a fast-paced punk feel. “What’s nice about the guitar is you can play it angrily. There’s so much room for dynamics and imperfections especially,” Hall said. “I learned how to play every Nirvana song, that’s how I learned guitar. Even if I’ve drifted away musically, the way I play, this raw, beat-the-f---out-of-the-guitar ethos is still there.” The band’s sound isn’t the only refreshingly strange thing. Its stage presence is unconventional, to say the least. “I feel like there’s a lot of humor lost on the audience because of the presentation of our live performance. The lack of stage presence started out as a shtick where we pretended to be idiot savants. It morphed into this alienating anti-performer character as the tunes became faster and angrier-sounding,” Hall said.

[ a+e ] Columbus comic book artist Max Ink takes his art from the page to the gallery COLLIN HOWARD Lantern reporter howard.772@osu.edu With dynamic action and bright color, the art of comic books often seems constrained by the standard page size. So John Guevin, who writes under the pseudonym Max Ink, is blowing his art up on a massive scale. The original pages from his recent work, “Wonka Wonka Kochalka,” are on display at Wild Goose Creative. The creator will accompany his work in person, inviting anyone to come and chat from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday. Guevin said the exhibit will feature 40 feet of comic book art from the first chapter of his story, “So It Goes.” “Rather than sitting down and curling up on the couch and reading a comic book, you can stand and read it on a gallery wall,” Guevin said with a laugh. “It allows for a community experience compared to reading it as a book and it is a very individual experience.” Seeing a person engaged with the visuals of his creations is something that motivates the artist to keep production flowing. “My typical experience in reading a comic is a very personable thing,” Guevin said. “There are times I will give someone a comic or they will buy it and I see them reading my work and I get a little charge out of seeing them respond in ways that I intend for them to respond on specific pages. Each page takes me upwards of 10 hours to create, so it’s a pretty labor-intensive thing, and I put a lot of thought and effort into what I do, why I do it, what it is that I’m hoping the reader will get as they read the page.” This response is what drives the artist to keep going. But Guevin, who also works full time at UPS Inc., said he found it difficult to cite a specific reason for his comic book preference. “I’ve been doing it since I was 10 years old, so it’s a natural thing for me,” Guevin said. “It’s like asking a filmmaker, ‘Why do you make films rather than take photographs?’ or asking somebody who writes screenplays, ‘Why don’t you write novels?’ I mean, it’s a really awesome art form and there’s so much potential for it.” Jessie Boettcher, a Wild Goose Creative board member, said getting to know the artist throughout this whole process has been beneficial to their program as a whole. “One of our main goals is to get audiences, specifically new

In addition to helping the group learn the music, Brunner also arranges songs for four or five voice parts for the group to sing. Though the group felt prepared for the competition, Brunner said they didn’t know what to expect. “I think there was a little bit of doubt in everybody’s minds,” Brunner said. “We didn’t know how we stood up against (the other groups).” The moment they were announced as the winner, Brunner said the group was ecstatic.

get from beginning to end.” His friend and director of communications for the College of Veterinary Medicine at Ohio State, Melissa Weber, said it is easy to see how much Guevin loves what he does. “He invests a lot of time in it,” Weber said. “I mean, he also has a full-time job, so the fact that he can produce these comic books on a regular basis means that he gives up a lot of free time to do other things.” The author is also scheduled to hold a book release party of the featured work March 30, also at Wild Goose Creative, located at 2491 Summit St. The event will start at 7 p.m. with live music beginning at 9
“There’s pictures of our faces just in disbelief. … It turned out to be an amazing moment,” Brunner said. Winning the ICCA competition wasn’t the only amazing moment of the day for Buck That! Their day started in Columbus at an audition for the producers of “America’s Got Talent.” “It was a really busy day,” Brunner said. The group didn’t originally seek out the audition and was contacted by a talent producer. Even though they were nervous, Brunner said the audition went well and they are hoping to move on to the next auditions in front of the judges on the show. Buck That! has faced challenges as a young group, especially in building their repertoire of songs in preparation for the competition, Routte said.
“It comes with some frustration, because you’re only working on a handful of songs,” he said. “You’ve got to really fine-tune that focus of the group.” The a cappella scene has blossomed at OSU over the last few years, but Buck That! is set apart from the rest, Brunner said. “We have a completely different sound from all of the mixed a cappella groups,” he said. When Routte reflected back to the group’s beginning, he said he couldn’t believe how far they have come. “We started out with a handful of guys around the piano and morphed it into ICCA quarterfinal winners,” Routte said. “It’s been quite the experience and transformation.”

OSU men’s basketball marches on to NCAA Tournament Tyler Robinson Senior Lantern reporter robinson.1063@osu.edu In a game that featured 16 lead changes and a tournament record crowd, Sunday’s Big Ten tournament final between the Ohio State men’s basketball team and Michigan State seemed more like an NCAA tournament regional final than a conference championship game. After falling short against the Spartans, 68-64, and failing to clinch what would have been a third consecutive Big Ten Tournament Championship, the Buckeyes must find a way to recover from a tough loss and turn their focus to the 2012 NCAA Tournament. “We’ve got to pick ourselves up,” OSU coach Thad Matta said. “We’ve got to get back to playing our best basketball when we take the court, next time we take it.” The next time OSU takes the court will be Thursday against Loyola (Md.) in the second round of the NCAA tournament. The Buckeyes are the second seed in the East Region while the Greyhounds are the No. 15 seed. Sophomore forward Jared Sullinger said the Buckeyes can’t let Sunday’s loss deter them from their objective going forward.
“If we keep thinking about this game, we’re going to lose track of what’s really the main goal, which is to win a national championship,” he said. “So we’ve just got to focus on that.” While Matta and Sullinger emphasized quickly forgetting about the loss, sophomore guard Lenzelle Smith Jr. said remembering the feeling of losing will help the team as it enters NCAA tournament play. “Everybody in this locker room is going to remember this game,” Smith Jr. said. “They’re feeling down right now. They’re willing to commit to doing whatever we need to do to make sure we’re not the team that’s going home. “I’ve talked to a few of my teammates already and we’ve recommitted ourselves and said what we’re going to do better to make sure we don’t have this feeling again. Right now of course anybody hates to lose but we get to play again.” Fellow guard William Buford, the OSU senior who will be playing in his fourth NCAA tournament, agreed with Smith Jr. “(Sunday’s loss) is going to help us out a lot,” Buford said. “We’re definitely going to have tough games in the (NCAA) tournament and this game is going to let us know what we need to work on in order to win those games.” Before Sunday, the Buckeyes most
recently lost the Big Ten tournament title game in 2009 to Purdue, Buford’s freshman season. Matta cautioned that the OSU team went on to lose its first NCAA tourney game. “We lost (the conference tournament final) three years ago … and in the NCAA tournament we got beat in double overtime in the first round (to Siena),” Matta said. “So looking and saying, ‘OK, let’s put this behind us,’ these guys clearly have to understand from this point on what’s at stake.” Sullinger said the Buckeyes are still of the nation’s top teams. “I think we’re one of the best teams in the country,” he said. “As long as we believe that and the coaches believe that I think we can move forward.” After beating OSU and earning a NCAA tournament No. 1 seed, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said he’s still impressed with the Buckeyes. “Ohio State is still every bit as good. I mean, I think they can make a run in this (NCAA) tournament – a big run.” Perhaps Buford summed up Sunday’s loss best. “Better now than in the (NCAA) tournament,” he said. In the NCAA Tournament, OSU drew a No. 2 seed in the East Region. The Buckeyes will play No. 15 Loyola Maryland on Thursday in Pittsburgh. Tipoff is set for about 9:45 p.m.

Big Ten coaching landscape shifts as OSU progresses
Pat Brennan Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu Amidst the Ohio State men’s basketball team’s run to a fourth consecutive Big Ten Tournament Championship Game appearance, the coaching landscape of Big Ten basketball has changed drastically. Illinois coach Bruce Weber was fired Friday morning after his Illini team was eliminated from the Big Ten Tournament with an opening round, 64-61 loss to Iowa. The firing prompted Michigan State coach Tom Izzo to say he felt “bad for Illini nation.” The firings didn’t stop there. Later Friday afternoon, Nebraska coach Doc Sadler was relieved of his duties as the Cornhuskers’ coach a day after Purdue eliminated his team from the Big Ten Tournament Thursday. In nine seasons at Illinois, Weber posted a 210-101 record and an appearance in the 2005 NCAA Championship Game, which the Illini lost to North Carolina. The Illini’s Thursday loss brought an end to a season that saw the team post a 17-15 overall record after they began the season 15-3. Just hours after Weber’s firing, Izzo, a former president of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, used several minutes of a postgame press conference to address the matter following MSU’s Big Ten Tournament quarterfinal-round win against Iowa. “I’m sick about (Weber’s firing) … He’s done it the right way. He doesn’t cheat. He mans up to his own responsibilities. Incredible, incredible person,” Izzo said. “I think it was ridiculous the way that thing was handled. If I take abuse for that, I really don’t care because I’m also the president of our association. This isn’t about friendship. This is about a profession.
“I feel bad for Illini nation because somebody’s — somebody pulled the rug out from under them.” Izzo was referring to the fact that Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas did support Weber when asked about the coach’s future at the university during a Feb. 11 radio interview. During a Friday press conference he Weber said he hadn’t eaten or slept in 24 hours. “I’ve been incredibly fortunate to serve as the head basketball coach at the University of Illinois,” Weber said. “As you know, I grew up in Milwaukee (Wis.) in the heart of Big Ten country, so it was truly a dream come true for me to come to Illinois and run a Big Ten program.” Athletic director Tom Osborne was the bearer of bad tidings for Nebraska’s Sadler, who led the Cornhuskers to a 12-18 overall record during its first season as a member of the Big Ten. During a Friday press conference, Osborne said he appreciated Sadler’s contributions to Nebraska’s men’s basketball program during his six years in Lincoln, Neb., but said he felt the program had lost momentum. “I appreciate all of the efforts of Doc Sadler and his coaching staff,” Osborne said. “Doc has worked hard, has great integrity and has been nothing but positive through a difficult season. Doc and I both felt this season could be his best with an experienced team returning, and with new facilities we could start moving into a brighter era for Nebraska basketball. However, injuries, a difficult schedule and competing in a new conference has made the season even more difficult. “Unfortunately, I feel the program has lost momentum which makes recruiting and fan support more problematic, thus the change.” At the same press conference, a visibly emotional Sadler addressed his dismissal from the program. “I wanted to be the guy that won that first NCAA Tournament game (in program history),” Sadler said. “It didn’t happen. That’s the bottom line. It all comes

Former Illinois men’s basketball coach Bruce Weber takes questions during a post-game press conference after North Carolina beat his Fighting Illini, 75-70, in the 2005 NCAA Championship Game April 4, 2005 in St. Louis, Mo. down to winning, and that’s what it should come down to. I told (Osborne) I disagreed with it (the firing). I didn’t agree with everything about it, but, at the same time, I respected his opinion.” Permanent replacements for vacant coaching positions at Illinois and Nebraska have not been announced. While those two schools were starting to rebuild their programs, OSU was busy padding its NCAA Tournament resume.
The Buckeyes advanced to the Big Ten Tournament Championship Game on Sunday, where they lost to Michigan State, 68-64. The Spartans went on to claim a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament’s West Region while OSU was handed a No. 2 seed in the East Region. OSU will play the No. 15-seed Loyola (MD) Greyhounds on Thursday at CONSOL Energy Center in Pittsburgh. Tipoff is set for about 9:45 p.m.

There are some things you should know before you hand over your money to Invisible Children for a trendy “Stop Kony” action kit. It’s been difficult to avoid mention of Joseph Kony’s name over the past week. Kony has a history of enlisting children to help his Lord’s Resistance Army fight in Uganda, and when charity organization Invisible Children released a video on the issue, trying to make Kony “famous” so the U.S. would retain a special envoy in the nation, it blew up the Internet. The video had about 71 million views on YouTube as of Sunday. Enlisting child soldiers is horrible. I don’t disagree with that. However, there are a lot of questions around Invisible Children’s campaign that raise eyebrows. Invisible Children is a nonprofit organization that aims to end the use of child soldiers. A noble cause, for sure, and I won’t dispute that. However, the organization has a shady history with its revenue – one that people should be aware of before donating their time and money. Charity Navigator, a watchdog group over similar charitable organizations, rates Invisible Children three stars out of four overall as a charity. That’s nothing heinous, but it only

In the fiscal year ending June 2011, Invisible Children garnered nearly $13.8 million in revenue. However, the group spent about $8.9 million in 2011 on expenses, including compensation for the group’s highest-ranking officials and budgeting the production of the group’s films. So, in reality, only about 32 percent of the group’s money
goes toward charity. According to CharityWatch, another charity watchdog, donating 60 percent of your revenue to your cause is “satisfactory,” whereas donating 75 percent of your revenue is considered “highly efficient.” This begs the question: Where is the money you’re giving them going? If you indeed paid $40 for the now-sold-out action kit and bracelet, and assuming the group’s spending habits
hold true, fewer than $13 of your money will be going toward the campaign to stop Kony in Uganda. The rest of that money would presumably be going to the group’s executives – CEO Ben Keesey made $88,241 in 2001, while co-founders Jason Russell and Laren Poole made $89,669 and $84,377, respectively – and making shiny YouTube videos. That’s not all. Many folks familiar with Uganda have spoken out about the campaign. There is also speculation that Kony is no longer in Uganda, which raises a problem as Invisible Children’s money is going to the Ugandan army, which has teamed up with U.S. military advisers to find him. Putting up posters, liking a Facebook status and using the “#stopkony” hashtag won’t do much, in all reality. This is a much more sophisticated issue than it seems. The Ugandan army is weak and obviously has never had the power to mount a legitimate effort against Kony in the decades-long battle with the LRA. And how do you plan on fighting a man who enlists child soldiers? If it comes down to a military battle, children are surely likely to be injured and killed. It might be trendy to tweet
ALEX ANTONETZ antonetz.3@osu.edu about and I’m sure everyone feels better about themselves for spreading awareness, but the reality of it is millions of people are being brainwashed by a video with a cute kid and sparkling production value that highly oversimplifies matters. What Kony has done is an atrocity. That much is true. I’m truly glad society has turned off “Teen Mom” and Justin Bieber long enough to care about something that matters, but if you want to donate to a good cause, do your research first. Otherwise, this campaign comes off as not much more than another case of white man’s guilt.

A group of OSU students gather in front of the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library on Feb. 27 to pay tribute to the victims of the school shooting at Chardon High School in Chardon, Ohio.
Letter to the editor: Parmentor family thanks OSU for support after Chardon shooting Editor’s note: Daniel Parmertor, 16, died Feb. 27, hours after being shot at Chardon High School in Chardon, Ohio, when a shooter opened fire in the school cafeteria. Russell King Jr., 17, and Demetrius Hewlin, 16, also died after being shot and two other students were injured. Thomas Lane, 17, has been charged with three juvenile counts of aggravated murder, two counts of attempted aggravated murder and one felony count of assault in the shooting. A hearing scheduled for April 3 will determine whether Lane is tried as an adult in the case, according to media reports. Open Letter to Ohio State Students: On behalf of the Parmertor Family, we would like to thank an engineering student named Michael who “coordinated an outreach of fellow Buckeyes” last week in the Student Union to collect condolences, notes, and donations to our family after the tragic death of our wonderful Danny. We also want to thank all the anonymous students who took the time to write a special note. Your kindness and overwhelming support has made a positive impact on our family. Thank you for accepting Danny into the Buckeye Nation. He planned to attend Ohio State after graduating high school. We cannot thank you enough for reaching out to our family! Go Bucks!!

With finals week commencing, I find myself in a gray area. I’m not really stressed out, but I’m not exactly on easy street either. Since I’ve been a student here at OSU, finals week always seems to be my most stressful week of the quarter, as it is for many other students. Trying to juggle the last stretch of coursework given during Week 10 and study for finals is very difficult for me, not to mention student organization meetings, working out and finding time to sleep; balance is not in my vocabulary. What I’ve found recently about myself that might be able to help other students is to try to fit in some “you” time, to not spend the majority of your time worrying about finals and living out of a book bag in William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library. I’m not saying don’t study, because I for one will be spending a generous amount of my time studying, but to do so in moderation. Burnout during the home stretch is not a good thing to acquire. To beat my finals week blues, I’m going to try to dedicate specific times to study for my finals and prioritize the order in which I study my material. Looking at one chapter over and over again for three hours straight is not going to help when there are several chapters to cover. Balance and prioritizing is the key. Focus on what you don’t know and then review the material that you are confident about. Also during this week, I suggest taking the time out to do things that will help you relax and create a fun time. Go get ice cream with friends, watch a funny movie. Pampering yourself can always ease the stress that weighs heavy during finals week. Positive thinking and relaxation always helps relieve tension that arises as well. If you go into any situation believing that you are going to fail, or that the worst-case scenario will happen, nine times out of 10, it will. Having a positive mindset going into finals week was always a hard thing for me to do. I always assume that even if I study hard and understand the material I’m still going to perform badly, worrying myself until I have performance anxiety and in the end do worse than I imagined myself doing. I’m not saying my methods to decrease finals week depression will help, but it wouldn’t hurt to try some new methods. Making small changes can definitely give you positive results and a different outlook on your situation. So get out there and conquer those finals week blues!

Don’t let stress over finals ruin your week
For many Americans, March means one thing aside from St. Patrick’s Day: college basketball. The Big Dance is anticipated every single year, with everyone from avid followers to forced spectators filling out brackets. Coverage of the tournament grows each year, with more channels and even an iPhone app added last year. Even the tournament itself grew, with the previous amount of teams, 64, being expanded to 68. Again this year, Ohio State will be there. Although they will not be a No. 1 seed like last season, they will still be in a strong position to make a long run. But sadly, we won’t be at school for a large amount of it. The second round, a round of 32 games, will begin March 15, the last day of our exams. For those of us going somewhere over break, the schedule of the tournament takes away from the great sense of community that accompanies an NCAA
tournament. Personally I looked forward to sitting in my dorm with some people from my building and watching as many games as humanly possible. Everyone loves March Madness, that’s part of its appeal. But without the people who feel the same way as you, it takes away from your enjoyment. Watching sports with others is always better in general, not just for college basketball. It reminds me of this time of year back in high school, where the tournament was ubiquitous, even during class. There were games on in the lunchroom, common rooms and classrooms, each with many sets of interested eyes watching. When there was a buzzer-beater or a big shot made there would be cheers from people who had
no affiliation with the school, but they cared because they had picked that team in their bracket. Add to the hysteria that this is typically the time of year when the weather finally gets warm, and everyone wants to open up the windows and relax. Though I will enjoy watching almost all the tournament games in the comfort of my own home, I’d rather be basking in the excitement and passion of March Madness in the company of my fellow students. The end of the tournament though, including the Final Four, will be played once we’re back at school, giving us at least some opportunity to watch together. Here’s to hoping we’ll be watching our own Scarlet and Gray make a run for New Orleans.

With the No. 1 overall seed and heavy favorite in the NCAA tournament Kentucky sitting on the top line of the South Bracket, it is safe to say the road to the Final Four in the South is through John Calipari’s Wildcats. With the South Bracket featuring three Final Four teams from last year’s tournament — Kentucky, Virginia Commonwealth and Connecticut — the South Bracket will be full of intriguing, early-round matchups. UConn, the defending national champion, holds the No. 9 seed in the South, and a first-round win against Iowa State will most certainly mean a rematch of last year’s Final Four thriller where UConn defeated Kentucky by one point to get to the National Championship game. Sitting on the bottom line of the South Bracket, and earning a No. 2 seed, are the Duke Blue Devils. Coach Coutesy of MCT Mike Krzyzewski’s Blue Devils will look to take care Kentucky sophomore forward Terrence Jones dunks of business against No. 15 Lehigh, and then play the during the first half of the SEC Championship Game winner of No. 7 Notre Dame and No. 10 Xavier. against Vanderbilt March 11.

The team that ran through Ohio State to claim likely the last No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament will play its opening round matchup in Columbus. Michigan State, which took down OSU in the Big Ten Tournament final Sunday, drew No. 16 seed LIU Brooklyn, and will play Friday at Nationwide Arena. MSU might potentially draw No. 8-seed Memphis in a third-round matchup that could be a barnburner at Nationwide. The Tigers have won seven straight games coming into the tournament and is a perennially long and athletic squad that could present some issues for Sparty. The West Region also hosts No. 6 seed Murray State, which, after Kentucky’s loss in the SEC Tournament final to Vanderbilt, will enter the tournament with the country’s best record at 30-1. The Racers open Courtesy of MCT against No. 11-seed Colorado State. Michigan State senior forward Draymond Green drives to The West isn’t the most stacked region this year, the basket against Penn State Feb. 8. MSU won, 77-57. but it could lend to quite a few upsets. Don’t be too shocked if potential Cinderellas Memphis, Louisville, Murray State or Iona come out of the region if MSU and Missouri falter. I wouldn’t count on that for the former, however, as Sparty is an experienced tournament power. Regional Champion: No. 1 Michigan State def. No. 6 Murray State
If we learned anything Sunday, it’s that the selection committee has a sense of humor. In what would normally be a relatively innocuous second-round Midwest Region matchup, No. 4-seed Michigan will take on “Ohio” — No. 13-seed Ohio University. The matchup drew plenty of attention on Twitter because Michigan football coach Brady Hoke, and, more recently, Wolverines basketball coach John Beilein, refers to Ohio State simply as “Ohio.” The region will also host Kansas, who limps into the NCAA Tournament after losing to Baylor in the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament, likely relinquishing the tournament’s last No. 1 seed in the process. North Carolina is the Midwest’s No. 1 seed and comes into the tournament after losing to a hot Florida State squad in the finals of the ACC Tournament Courtesy of MCT Sunday. The Tarheels will square off against the winner North Carolina coach Roy Williams yells during an of the play-in game between No. 16-seeds Lamar and ACC Tournament game against N.C. State March 10. Vermont in nearby Greensboro, N.C. UNC won, 69-67. The Midwest isn’t particularly hard to pick — all signs point toward a showdown between UNC and Kansas. Regional Champion: No. 2 Kansas def.

sports Posey shines at Buckeyes football Pro Day Andrew Hollern Senior Lantern reporter hollern.9@osu.edu
Former Ohio State wide receiver DeVier Posey’s final season as a Buckeye was far from picturesque. Suspended for OSU’s first 10 regular season games, Posey was only able to play in the Buckeyes’ home finale against Penn State, the road matchup with Michigan and in the Gator Bowl versus Florida, all of which OSU lost. OSU ended the year 6-7, with Posey totaling just 162 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Posey’s pro day Saturday, however, was another story. Following his workout, Posey stood in front of a group of reporters, smiling about his performance. “I feel like I had a good day. I caught everything, so I’ll smile about that,” Posey said. Along with 12 of his former teammates, Posey displayed his talents in front of coaches and scouts representing every NFL team except the New York Jets and Chicago Bears. Worked out by new Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Todd Haley, Posey did not drop any passes and ran crisp routes. Posey said it was important for him to have a good showing. “It’s the period at the end of the sentence. It’s a two-month period, and you want to cap it all off with a great workout,” Posey said. “So, I really feel like right here I just wanted to put that period at the end of the sentence for this two-month period of training, working out. I feel like it went well.” After talking with his agent before OSU’s Pro Day, Posey chose not to run the 40-yard dash Saturday. “All the teams really got me through the range, through the grapevine, between 4.37 and 4.48, so I’ll take that time,” Posey said. “That’s why I felt comfortable here not to run.” Plenty of current and former Buckeyes were on hand to watch Posey and other OSU NFL hopefuls, including Arizona Cardinals running back Chris “Beanie” Wells, Detroit Lions linebacker
Thomas Bradley / Campus editor
Former OSU football receiver DeVier Posey sprints down the field at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center March 9 during the program’s Pro Day. Scouts from 30 NFL teams came to see Posey and other former Buckeyes who have exhausted their eligibility. Bobby Carpenter and OSU freshman quarterback Braxton Miller. Posey said being able to talk to other former OSU players about their pro days was helpful. “We call it the ‘sacred brotherhood,’” Posey said of the OSU football fraternity. “We get it engraved on every one of our rings. We just try to keep the brotherhood sacred and we always support each other.” With his pro day over, Posey now has
to wait to see if any NFL teams are interested in bringing him in for an individual workout. Posey said he has no idea what any NFL teams are thinking about him. “There’s so many smokescreens and different strategies to this, I don’t know,” he said. “I’m just trying to be patient … make sure my phone line is on, so I’m answering all the calls for workouts and everything.” In an exclusive interview with The Lantern in November, ESPN college
football analyst Todd McShay spoke of Posey’s NFL prospects. “I had him as a third-round prospect based off of tape from last year. He’s so athletic and he should keep getting better,” McShay said. Posey said he isn’t sure where he’ll go in the draft in April. “Nobody does. You can go early or you can go late. Who knows,” he said. While he is unsure about many of the different aspects of the NFL Draft
process, Posey said he could not have scripted a better Pro Day, with the exception of one thing. “I wish I might have got some more water. My mouth was a bit dry,” Posey said jokingly. “Besides that, I feel like everything went good today, just exactly how I wanted things to go.” The NFL Draft begins April 26. JOIN THE CONVERSATION
