Movies not to miss

Check out a list of movies to catch in theaters this fall.

How do you replace 1,185 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns?

That question is one faced by the Ohio State Buckeyes football team heading into their season opener against Buffalo Saturday with the looming suspensions of senior Carlos Hyde and junior Rod Smith.

Hyde rushed for 970 yards and 16 touchdowns in 10 games last season but will miss the first three games this year due to his involvement in an incident at a Columbus bar over the summer. Smith, who added 215 yards and two touchdowns while averaging 6.72 yards per carry, will also sit out the opener due to violation of an unspecified team rule.

The recently released depth chart shows that redshirt-senior running back Jordan Hall, who sat out all but three games last season due to injuries, will be the starting running back on the squad.

Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman said Hall stepped up during fall camp and is the clear No. 1 back right now.

“You feed the guy that needs to get fed I guess. The guy that’s playing the best will get the ball and so we’ll determine early who that is, the Jordan Hall, obviously he’s had a great camp. He will be the guy that starts off at that spot and will continue at that spot,” Herman said.

Coach Urban

Meyer applauded Hall’s versatility as a running back, coupling toughness and speed while showing skill as a receiver.

“Jordan is a little smaller, but he is arguably one of the tougher guys pound-for-pound on our team. So I’m pretty good. Stan Drayton (running backs coach) has done a nice job with pass protection, which that is a big part of it, and catching the ball in the backfield is a big part of it and Jordan is fantastic at that,” Meyer said.

Although Hall will be the running back trotting out on the field for OSU’s first snap Saturday, Herman said exhaustion is a factor for the running backs, especially

In a world where something as seemingly inconsequential as a text or tweet could mean facing the NCAA’s hammer, Ohio State is paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to a third party to help keep tabs on its athletes and coaches.

Documents obtained by The Lantern show the university is locked into a three-year contract for $360,500 with JumpForward, a sports relationship management firm based in Chicago.

In an exclusive interview in March, athletic director Gene Smith told The Lantern that, with the help of the JumpForward’s services, OSU could more effectively manage what its athletes (and coaches) post on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.

“We track, so we see you as an athlete saying something on Twitter, or you’ve got something on your Facebook page that’s inappropriate or derogatory, we’ll come to you,” Smith said in March.

Details regarding the relationship between the two entities, however, remained muddled — the cost and scope of such monitoring were unknown.

Now, according to documents collected through a public records request filed April 19, it appears the extent of JumpForward’s services extend beyond just social media surveillance.

The Contract OSU’s intent to employ a third party with the purpose of aiding the university in monitoring social media is first publicly outlined in the school’s “Annual Progress Report” to the NCAA, which was filed in August 2012.

The letter served as an outlined plan of measures the university planned to take in response to the 2010 “Tattoo-Gate” scandal, which led to NCAA sanctions and the resignation of former football coach Jim Tressel.

According to the contract between OSU and JumpForward, though, the firm’s services were effective as of July 1, 2012, with ensuing installments and updates to come in future months.

The contract shows that over the course of three years, OSU will pay three annual installments, shoveling out $143,500 in the first year and $108,500 in each of the remaining two years.

The first year includes JumpForward’s base charge of $83,000 in addition to a “Premium Solutions in Development” cost of $25,500 and a one-time, $35,000 fee for special customization.

The subsequent two years of the contract include the base cost plus the cost of the premium solutions, which are individually outlined in detail and cost.

Largely, it appears the bulk of JumpForward’s surveillance capabilities lie in its basic plan and

Audit and Compliance Committee Meeting The Audit and Compliance Committee set a goal to improve the university’s standards on public record requests responses and waived a company’s audit requirement at its meeting.

Gates Garrity-Rokous, OSU’s chief compliance officer, said there are critical next steps involving the university’s Compliance Risk Assessment plan, which helps to identify and manage risks concerning OSU. “It will cause a significant impact on the campus,” Garrity-Rokous said.

The committee specifically talked about the Second-year Transformational Experience Program, which currently has 1,000 second-year students living on campus and working closely with faculty to model the future of sophomores living on campus. The committee said it is working on using the program to further stress prevention efforts.

“We assess student needs and focus on (helping them have) an holistic student experience,” Adams-Gaston said.

The committee also talked about its efforts to incorporate technology into the classroom by creating hybrid courses that include in-class and out-of-class learning experiences and said it will continue expanding the program.

“We want to extend the footprint in this area,” said Joseph Steinmetz, OSU’s executive vice president and provost.

Of the faculty evaluation and reward system, Steinmetz said achieving success is going to be about focusing on teamwork.

campus OSU research: Siblings decrease likelihood of divorce That pesky sibling could be good for something

BROOKE SAYRE Lantern reporter sayre.128@osu.edu The more siblings you have, the less likely you are to get divorced, according to two Ohio State researchers, as their recent study found children with more siblings could be 2 percent less likely per sibling to get divorced as adults.

Doug Downey, an OSU sociology professor, and Donna Bobbitt-Zeher, an assistant professor of sociology at OSU’s Marion campus, are the co-authors of a study that began with young children, Downey said.

In addition to the 20,000 kindergartners examined for the study, Downey and Bobbitt-Zeher took data from the General Social Survey, made up of about 57,000 adult interviews from 1972 to 2012, according to the study’s press release. The participants were contacted at four different points in time, Downey said. “(Our) study started about 10 years ago with teachers evaluating children’s social skills,” Downey said. “Children without siblings rated less well than children with siblings … The next logical question was ‘what happens as children grow up?

Is there any evidence of these social skills as (they) go into adulthood?’”

Downey and Bobbitt-Zeher wanted to know if having siblings could be beneficial in other ways.

2% Source: Reporting “What we thought we would find would be that having some siblings might provide more opportunity for people as they are growing up,” BobbittZeher said. “Opportunities to negotiate, get along with people, build skills and relationships over time.”

Downey agreed that it’s “reasonable to suspect that sibling interactions lead to relationship building skills.”

Downey and Bobbitt-Zeher said they were surprised to find there isn’t simply a difference

Each additional sibling reduces that person’s chance of divorce by 2 percent.

between being an only child and having siblings, but there is also a change in family dynamics with the addition of each sibling up to about seven children.

“Each added sibling reduced the chance of divorce by 2 percent,” Bobbitt-Zeher said.

Downey clarified, though, it is merely a correlation and not a causal variable — having siblings may not cause someone to be less likely to get divorced, but the two factors are somehow related.

There are other factors that could lead to

divorce later in life, including the environment individuals grow up in, the level of education they attain, their income level, their race, their religious beliefs and their gender role attitudes. Downey kept these factors in mind but said “even with those factors statistically controlled, siblings were still a factor.”

Some OSU students, though, were skeptical of the results.

Morgan Crouse, a third-year in health sciences, is the youngest of three children and was surprised at the research results.

“I’m a girl and I have two older brothers,” Crouse said. “If anything, (having more siblings) made it harder. I’m more shy because they were protective.”

Other students felt the study made sense based on their experiences.

Mackenzie Hendrock, a fourth-year in biology, agreed with the results. She has one younger sister.

“The more kids a family has would unify them,” Hendrock said. She also noted it would depend on the individual family dynamics. “(In my family), it was not just an only child,” Hendrock said. “There was another person to think about, to teach good morals and to put through college … Having a younger sister (taught me) to play and to share. (I think it) would increase social skills.”

Buckeye fan beats cancer with help from Michigan rivalry STACIE JACKSON Lantern reporter jackson.2087@osu.edu If there was one thing 12-year-old Grant Reed hated more than cancer, it was Michigan.

Reed, a devoted Ohio State fan, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2011. With the hope of beating his cancer the way he hoped the Buckeyes would beat the Wolverines, he named the tumor “Michigan.”

In July, Reed was able to ring a “Chemo Bell” at Nationwide Children’s Hospital to mark his last chemotherapy treatment and celebrate his win against “Michigan.”

Reed’s story touched the hearts of fans all over the country, including Urban Meyer, who visited Reed at Children’s Hospital in December along with members of the OSU football team, Grant Reed’s father Troy Reed told The Lantern.

Reed and his family will be attending the OSU Buckeyes versus Buffalo Bulls football season opener at Ohio Stadium Saturday, Troy Reed said.

Michigan football coach Brady Hoke also showed his support by offering Reed’s family four tickets to this year’s OSU versus Michigan game Nov. 30 in Ann Arbor, Mich.

In Grant Reed’s case, Hoke was all for beating Michigan, which he commented on at the first day of the Big Ten Football Media Days in Chicago July 24 and 25.

“Well I think as a father and a parent, we’re glad in this instance that he beat Michigan, and that’s probably the only time I’ll say it,” Hoke said. “But that’s important, it’s important for us, we’ve got a great, unbelievable opportunity to help kids and help people understand.”

Hoke went on to talk about the positive aspects of the rivalry.

“This is a great rivalry, the greatest there is, it’s competitive, and it’s passionate,” Hoke said. “But at the end of the day there’s a heck of lot more things more important than those rivalries.”

Grant Reed’s father agreed.

“All of the attention Grant’s story has gotten has been crazy, but

BOT from 1A cooperation is what success will be dependent on,” Steinmetz said.

The committee also spoke about focusing on raising funds for more scholarships, including meritbased scholarships for students.

Adams-Gaston and Steinmetz later both said attracting more artistic talent will be beneficial for the OSU and the Columbus community.

Organizations to encourage the arts are emerging, such as “Arts Engine” which is an arts-based organization for engineers. Currently OSU is one of the leading institutions in this program.

crazy in a good way. After 18 months of fighting, it is good to finally see some fun,” Troy Reed said.

On Aug. 17, Grant Reed had the opportunity to be the Grand Marshal at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital 200 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, NASCAR’s first Nationwide Series race in Ohio .

The Reed family also met with former OSU football running back Eddie George for a day during a Fox Sports interview, Troy Reed said.

As exciting as he felt all of the opportunities have been this past year, though, Troy Reed’s main focus is bringing awareness to pediatric cancer, he said.

“We need to figure out why these innocent children who do nothing wrong but live their lives as kids are still getting this disease,” he said. “Grant’s story has become a great platform to raise awareness and generate funding for pediatric cancer research.”

Denise Reed biked 100 miles at Pelotonia, a three-day bike tour for cancer research in Columbus, this August and donated all fundraising proceeds to the OSU James Cancer Center, Troy Reed said.

Life is slowly returning to normal for the Reed family now that Grant Reed’s cancer is in remission.

Grant Reed recently started the 7th grade in his hometown of Bellville, Ohio, where his dad said his favorite subject is history.

“Grant still went to regular school through his treatments last year, thanks to the amazing support from teachers and classmates,” Troy Reed said.

Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Grant Reed is planning a trip to Hawaii to visit the Pearl Harbor memorial, his dad said.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition, according to the organization’s website.

Grant Reed’s battle with cancer, though the cancer is currently in remission, is still an ongoing fight, and though his road to recovery will continue, he may now have the added motivation of knowing that ‘Michigan’ was not tough enough to defeat a Buckeye.

Medical Affairs Committee Meeting The Board’s Medical Affairs Committee had its last official meeting Thursday, as the Board plans to recommend the creation of a Wexner Medical Center Board of Trustees as a replacement for the committee Friday, committee chair Alan Brass said.

“We’ve been working on this as part of the strategic plan,” Brass said.

He said the highlight of the committee’s work has been the $1.1 billion expansion to the Wexner Medical Center that is scheduled for completion in 2014.

Jay Kasey, OSU senior vice president of Administration and Planning and the expansion project manager, said of the project’s total budget, $985.2 million has been committed in contracts to date, with

$698.3 million of that spent so far.

College of Medicine Dean Charles Lockwood reported the college received 5,651 applications last year, about 750 more applications than the previous year. Lockwood said the school expects to receive 6,000 or more applications this year and elaborated on the significance of the numbers.

“It means that about one in eight undergraduates who apply to medical school apply to Ohio State,” Lockwood said.

The College of Medicine accepted 188 students last year, which is considered to be a large class size for a medical school, Lockwood said. One hundred and three of 1,143 applicants were accepted from in-state, while only 85 of 4,508 out-of-state

applicants were accepted, for a total acceptance rate of about 3.3 percent.

Peter Geier, the chief executive officer of OSU Health System, said the Medical Center generated an overall income of $205.1 million for fiscal year 2013.

Board of Trustees Chairman Robert Schottenstein recommended a portion of the money be used to increase scholarship money awarded to incoming classes of medical school students.

“If every student was given another $10,000 a year, that’s $2 million,” Schottenstein said, taking into consideration the medical school class size is typically less than 200 students.

in next and see how he’s doing,” Herman said.

“If he’s having success and then maybe some of the other guys, their reps get limited or if he’s not having success, okay, let’s try Plan C and let’s try Plan D. I think there’s a little bit of a hierarchy.”

But when Hall comes to the sideline, the question will be who can take his place.

Players like sophomore Bri’onte Dunn, redshirt-freshman Warren Ball and freshmen Dontre Wilson and Ezekiel Elliott are all viable candidates to make an appearance on Saturday, with Wilson listed on the depth chart as a backup H-back.

Meyer made it clear Hall will be the starter against Buffalo but said he wanted to give some of the other players a shot.

“Jordan, it all depends, he’s a tailback at Ohio State, he’s earned that right. Bri’onte Dunn and Warren Ball are the next two in, and we want to get Ezekiel in to see how he responds in that kind of environment,” Meyer said. “I’m not sure how early, but he certainly will be carrying a ball on Saturday and he’s earned that right as well.”

Wilson was a standout during fall camp and has been tapped to return the opening kickoff on Saturday.

Even though he is listed as the backup H-back, Herman wants to find different ways to get Wilson the ball so the team can exploit his game-breaking speed.

“He’s going to touch the ball. We’d be foolish not to have him touch the ball. I think that you have to be careful with a true freshman that has

to play some running back, has to play some wide receiver, has to flex out and run routes, yet be in the backfield and run, run plays if you will,” Herman said.

The problem with using younger players, Herman said, is their lack of experience playing in Meyer’s complicated offensive scheme.

Instead of throwing the whole playbook at the players, though, Herman said they will build the knowledge-base first.

“The package will be small to start the year off, and let him become an expert at the few things that we are asking him to do,” Herman said.

On Media Day Aug. 11, Wilson said he wants to play any way he can, but his role is insignificant as long as the team can achieve its lofty goals.

“My goal is to get on the field and play but it’s really the ultimate goal to win a national championship and be a part of it,” Wilson said.

Although he has a plethora of options this year, Meyer has made it clear that it doesn’t matter who is running the ball as long as some of the load is taken off of junior quarterback Braxton Miller.

“I hope that doesn’t happen,” Meyer said when he was asked about Miller leading the team in rushing. “He was by far our best player and when I say by far, I mean, it wasn’t even the same hemisphere as far as who the next player was that could go make a play and help us win.”

OSU is scheduled to play Buffalo noon Saturday at Ohio Stadium.

premium services, which include 10 outlined “solutions” dealing with compliance, recruiting, social media, rules education training, equipment management, complimentary tickets and the tracking of phone calls — the common thread between each service is seemingly a shield against potential similar NCAA violations to those that rocked the university in recent history.

OSU Athletic Department representatives were not made available to discuss the contract.

JumpForward representatives did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

“I see this as being about one thing and that’s about dealing with protecting the school from NCAA issues,” said ESPN basketball analyst, attorney and outspoken NCAA critic Jay Bilas. “If this was just about an athlete doing something or saying something on Twitter that might be embarrassing to the athlete or to the school, I don’t think we’d be seeing this kind of regulation and this kind of oversight.”

While not all schools might have the money, time and manpower to keep such extensive tabs, Bilas told The Lantern the choice to monitor (and further, the choice to hire a third party for help) is a lot like parenting.

“Each school should be free to handle it the way they’d like … that’s kind of the way it should be,” he said. “If I’m out with my kids and I see somebody at the next table out with their kids, they may parent differently than I do, that’s fine. I can do it my way, they can do it theirs. That’s the way the world should work.”

The Details JumpForward’s services are essentially weighted in cost by sport — namely, services for revenue-generating teams cost more than non-revenue generating sports.

For example, JumpForward’s basic “recruiting solution,” which tracks “communications between JumpForward’s clients and their respective athletes and prospective recruits” with a database, costs all OSU sports except football and basketball $600 per team.

Conversely, the same recruiting solution costs $10,000 for football and $4,000 total for men’s and women’s basketball.

Premium features, perhaps not surprisingly, are generally more expensive. Social media monitoring costs $10,000 while the “complimentary admissions solution” (which helps OSU audit complimentary athletics events tickets to selected guests) costs $4,500.

JumpForward’s “reactive call tracking” solution, which provides OSU with a service that scans and analyzes phone bills to ensure NCAA rules aren’t being broken, costs $6,000.

The services raise the issue of where administrators need to draw the line between protecting their institution and playing what some might call Big Brother.

What It All Means Kevin DeShazo, founder of Fieldhouse Media (a social media education and monitoring firm) and author of the book “iAthlete: Impacting StudentAthletes of a Digital Generation,” said schools often don’t have much of a choice.

“In some situations, the NCAA has put them in the position where they almost have to be (Big Brother),” he said. “They have to track that. Now, at the same time … how far do they go with that? Do they need to know every single number that a coach is texting or calling? And even if they do know, they don’t know what those conversations are about.”

It’s a clash schools face between the burden of playing their own police force in order to appropriately self-report violations and being overly intrusive.

DeShazo said things might get murky when schools force their way into private information — such as protected Twitter or Facebook accounts.

“If you’re not one of the people they’ve given access to, then you don’t deserve access to that.

You can’t track every single thing a kid does 24 hours a day,” he said.

Schools like OSU, he said, “rightfully” want to protect themselves from the NCAA. “That makes perfect sense. There’s a lot of logic in that argument and that’s OK,” he said. “But there has to be some respect for privacy and realizing they’re kids and they’re not breaking laws. If we can find information from the public domain, then so be it.”

Bilas said there’s a disproportionate amount of responsibility regarding NCAA rules and bylaws though.

“I think one of the things that is kind of upsetting — that I would disagree with — is that every time something happens, the burden seems to be placed on the athlete,” he said. “That, you know, you look at the NCAA rules and it’s the athletes that has to protect his or her name and likeness; it’s the athlete that has to sacrifice and accept less; it’s the athlete that everything hinges upon; the athlete has to stay amateur; the athlete has to do all this stuff. It seems like an unnecessary burden on only one class.”

DeShazo thinks schools using forms of monitoring have good intentions.

“I don’t think any school is doing that maliciously or trying to invade privacy. In their mind, they think, ‘We have to know what’s going on,’” he said.

“They’re coming at that with good intentions. But I think they’re also coming at it not fully understanding what they’re getting access to and understanding social media.”

What might be at the heart of it, Bilas said, is simply a fear of the NCAA; the fear of being crippled for things that might have been prevented.

“What we’re seeing is that by monitoring all this stuff, the school can keep track of things (that) may ultimately wind up costing them in the terms of vacated games, suspensions, fines — the like — that are going to cost them real money,” he said.

“That’s what this is about.”

COMMENTARY

Fall to offer flicks with depth, emotion Kayla Byler Managing editor of design byler.18@osu.edu Summer is always for action flicks, but with fall comes cool weather, pumpkin flavored coffee and movies with emotional depth. With every movie I went to this summer, I think I got more excited for the fall previews than the film I was actually seeing. These are the five films that have piqued my interest most.

Favorite movie: “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” can’t-miss TV show: “Big Brother” Favorite song of the moment: “Summertime Sadness” - Lana Del Rey

halie Williams, arts

“Rush” Rush is going to be one of those inspiring sports films that even viewers who know nothing about Formula 1 can get into.

Directed by Ron Howard, who is known for “American Graffiti” and “A Beautiful Mind,” the film is based on the true story of the rivalry between Formula 1 drivers James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth) and Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl), following Lauda’s heroic return to the track just weeks after he’s almost killed in a crash to challenge Hunt.

The film combines action and romance but also seems to go deeper, bringing up psychological questions concerning how far is too far when it comes to competition.

“Rush” premieres Sept. 27.

“Don Jon” “Don Jon” is directed, written by and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt — is that something you really want to miss?

While it’s sure to be no “Inception,” “Don Jon” looks to have potential to be funny and charming. The movie follows the shenanigans of Don Jon (Gordon-Levitt) as he navigates between the things important to him in life: his body, family, god, women and porn. Then we see the typical romantic plot develop where we have a guy who’s struggling to find happiness and intimacy and a girl that will change his world. However, breaking from the norm Don Jon makes a meta comparison between porn and romance movies.

Levitt provides high expectations with this one, let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint.

“Don Jon” premieres Sept. 27.

“Carrie” “Carrie,” a remake of the 1976 horror film based on the novel by Stephen King, is guaranteed to be this fall’s scary movie must-see.

The film stars Chloe Grace Moretz as Carrie. Moretz is known for her starkly different family-friendly role in “Hugo” and it will be interesting to see how she makes the transition to playing the high school teen pushed over the edge.

In the film, Carrie discovers she has telekinetic powers she uses to seek revenge against her mother and classmates after years of abuse and bullying.

“Carrie” premieres Oct. 18.

“The Counselor” Previews for Ridley Scott’s newest film “The Counselor” leave something to be desired. But with a star-studded cast including Brad Pitt, Penélope Cruz and Cameron Diaz, this movie definitely piques interest.

“The Counselor” will, without a doubt, be action-packed, though what the action will be isn’t clear. Appearing to be full of excitement centered on rich, good-looking

Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a scene from the movie ‘Don Jon.’ The movie hits theaters Sept. 27 people who have too much time, money and a pet cheetah, this is a film you’ll want to see just to discover what it’s all about.

“The Counselor” premieres Oct. 25.

“The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” The second installment of “The Hunger Games” trilogy, based on the novels by Suzanne Collins, is sure to be just as entertaining as the first.

The film follows Katniss’ (Jennifer Lawrence) struggle following her first victory in the Hunger Games, a competition where 24 youth are pitted against one another until all but one are killed. Katniss finds out she must compete in the games again with even higher stakes.

“Catching Fire” premieres Nov. 22.

COMMENTARY

Timberlake, Cyrus, Gaga to release fall’s most anticipated albums Favorite movie: “Pulp Fiction” can’t-miss TV show: “Dexter” Favorite song of the moment: “Underneath It All” - No Doubt

eric Seger, Sports

Shelby Lum Photo editor lum.13@osu.edu The average day in Columbus might still be hotter than 80 degrees, but summer is rapidly making its exit. Flavors of summer are starting to trade for fall, and while many musicians pushed out infectious summer hits, others have opted to hold out (or take their time) to release albums for the fall.

Here are some of the most anticipated albums for the rest of the year, in no particular order: 1. The Black Keys - Title not yet released Snagging several Grammys, selling out arenas and headlining festival after festival has just been part of this duo’s year. In October 2012, rumors were thrown around about a 2013 release to follow up “El Camino.” Can the Ohio natives really create another blues-entrenched rock album worthy of the hype that “El Camino” received? Let’s hope so. Regardless, the duo of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney will likely join forces with producer Danger Mouse once more to create the new album. Reports have been floating around about the pair for sure releasing the album before the year is over, but if 2011’s “El Camino” (released Dec. 6, 2011) is any indication of how long the band can wait, it could be a while still until we are jamming to new Black Keys material.

2. “Matangi” - M.I.A. Her album has been pushed back several times

Favorite movie: “The Dark Knight” can’t-miss TV show: “Breaking Bad” Favorite song of the moment: “Safe and Sound” - Capital Cities

Oh, JT. After a successful night at the MTV Video Music Awards reuniting (oh so shortly) with his former ‘NSYNC bandmates, it seems like the world couldn’t expect more from Timberlake, yet “The 20/20 Experience: Part 2” is scheduled to drop Sept.

30. Part 1 of the album has been arguably one of the most successful albums of the year, with 968,000 copies sold in the first week, according to Billboard.

Producer, Questlove, announced that Timberlake would be creating a second part to the record because “10 songs now…10 songs later = 20 vision.”

The track names were publicly released Aug. 14 via Instagram videos, including single “Take Back the Night,” released July 12.

for restyling purposes. The British musician has been taking her album “Matangi” and making it edgier for her audiences, because apparently the first round wasn’t quite rising to the standards her label had in mind. Single, “Bad Girls,” was released in January 2012, and listeners probably don’t want to wait much longer. Pushed first from a December 2012 release, then to an April release, her label Interscope has announced that the album is scheduled to drop Nov. 5. The artist threatened to leak the album herself if the label pushed the release back again, and November’s release is sure to be less positive than the first two versions M.I.A. had created.

3. “The 20/20 Experience: Part 2” - Justin Timberlake

4. “Bangerz” - Miley Cyrus You know what, Miley, I may not know what to think of your foam finger, short hair and twerking, but you got exactly what you wanted: attention. Cyrus’ booty-wagging self is scheduled to drop “Bangerz,” her newest album, on Oct. 8. The record name seems to speak for itself, and her newest installment is likely to be one step farther from her Hannah Montana character.

5. “ARTPOP” - Lady Gaga Wednesday, Mother Monster released a teaser of the second look into her recent album “ARTPOP.” The song is a serious piano ballad and features Lady Gaga not just singing, but playing piano and drums as well. Gaga has described the album, scheduled to drop Nov. 11, as Warholian, hence the record name.

Currito’s burritos full of flavor, yet somewhat expensive for size Amy Macynski Lantern reporter macynski.3@osu.edu When I told my friend I was going to the restaurant Currito, his first response was, “Oh let me tell you what to get.” He suggested the Bangkok burrito and assured me that I would love it.

When I walked in to the restaurant, it was kind of dark, and the dining area has large wooden seats attached to the tables. I stepped up to the register and ordered one of their signature burritos, the Bangkok, which includes cilantro lime rice, Asian slaw, cucumber, Thai-style peanut sauce and your choice of meat on a flour tortilla, and sat at a large table in the main dining area.

The restaurant offers seven signature burritos and a “build-your-own” option for those who know exactly what they want. The burritos all come in small ($5.79) and regular ($6.79), and there is also a burrito bowl option ($6.99).

The restaurant also offers salads, smoothies, sides and sweets in addition to burritos.

I tried the Bangkok on my first visit and the Buffalo, which includes white rice, romaine lettuce, celery, buffalo sauce, your choice of meat and your choice of bleu cheese or ranch dressing on a flour tortilla, on my return trip. On both occasions, I chose the bowl option. I enjoyed the diversity of menu and the twist on the classic burrito.

The flavors of each burrito I tried were bold and a nice change to the classic burrito.

I enjoyed the Thai flavors in the Bangkok, and the peanut sauce was the star of the burrito, adding a salty bite to it. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were constant throughout the bowl. I sat and ate the bowl alone, enjoying the peace and quiet of the restaurant.

I split the Buffalo with my father, who ended up eating most of the burrito. I enjoyed the blue cheese sauce paired with the shredded beef. My father said his favorite part was the tanginess of the beef.

Although they offer a change to the classics, Currito basics still stand out.

For example, when I ordered chips and guacamole, the guacamole was creamy and delicious while the chips were served warm and perfectly seasoned. I felt that my burrito bowl was a bit expensive for the size of the meal. Though the bowl wasn’t as big as other burrito places, it was in the same price range as other similar restaurants.

The atmosphere of Currito is very modern and laid back. The first sign to catch my eye upon arriving at the restaurant was a sign offering delivery. The sign said the restaurant would deliver even if the order was only for one burrito.

Currito is located at 1778 N. High Street between College Town bookstore and Urban Outfitters.

Crafts, improv, dancing to fill Upper Arlington Arts Festival Abigail Hofrichter Lantern reporter hofrichter.3@osu.edu In an effort to spice up this Labor Day with stilt walkers, belly dancing and even a little improv, Upper Arlington is throwing a festival.

The 47th Upper Arlington Labor Day Arts Festival, presented by Farmers Citizens Bank, is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Monday in Northam Park.

This year’s event is set to showcase more than 200 artists, with two stages of live performances and creative interactive activities.

Lynette Santoro-Au, arts manager of Upper Arlington, hopes to see people of all ages enjoying the attractions.

“There are 24 different activities and you don’t have to be a child to encounter them,” Santoro-Au said.

The arts activities area is set to offer hands-on crafts such as glazing clay pieces with The Clay Café, making wooden drums, print making and even creating duct tape art.

Robert Coomer, a professional photographer showing at the festival, said an arts festival is about more than just viewing and buying art.

“We work visually to express our ideas and feelings, which can be a valuable resource to the younger crowd,” Coomer said in an email. “Creativity isn’t something that is learned, it must be developed through time and practice.”

A history of strong sales and interested customers made Coomer want to return to the Upper Arlington festival for his third consecutive year.

Coomer said preparing for an arts festival goes beyond creating quality pieces and can be daunting for those who do it for a living.

“You have to be able to transport, showcase, sell and protect your art,” Coomer said. “All of it affects your presentation.”

Coomer’s photography ranges from landscape to urban decay images, and he plans to showcase some of his new work, which is a combination of modern and rustic tintype, at the festival. Coomer prints an image on top of hand-rusted metal which he then mounts using rusty hardware.

“The prints become almost structural, as the strata has correlations to the image, such as an old decaying building or a rusty train,” Coomer said.

Coomer will be at Booth 142.

Kristy Jo Beber is another featured artist, and this is her fifth year showing her pottery at the festival.

“I find the community support and excitement amazing and there is good buying energy,” said Beber, who will be in Booth 89.

Pottery pieces by Kristy Jo Beber, who will have a booth at the Upper Arlington Labor Day Arts Festival Sept. 2.

With pieces starting at $15, Beber hopes to see some young art collectors in addition to the usual crowd.

In addition to the artists and hands-on activities, the festival is slated to provide guests with a unique opportunity to take part in Improv Everywhere’s mp3 experiment. Improv Everywhere is a New York City-based “prank collective that causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places.”

Santoro-Au explained that guests can download the group’s mp3 ahead of time from the festival website, where they will find additional directions. Guests are instructed to arrive at the festival by 12:30 p.m., plug in and follow instructions. Participants may be prompted to engage in activities from freezetag to square-dancing, Santoro-Au said.

“People see you do these fun things and get curious,” Santoro-Au said. “They want to get involved and be a part of the art.”

The festival is set to run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Northam Park on 2070 Northam Road in Upper Arlington. Admission is free. There is parking available and a free shuttle service from the parking area to festival grounds.

Then-sophomore Braxton Miller (5) pitches the ball during a game against Nebraska Oct. 6, 2012, at Ohio Stadium. OSU won, 63-38. eric seger and daniel rogers Sports editor and Asst. sports editor seger.25@osu.edu and rogers.746@osu.edu The Lantern sports editors share their insight on what fans should know about this weekend’s matchup against Buffalo.

1. Who will step up at running back?

What was supposed to be one of the strongest positions for the Buckeyes heading into the year is now one of its biggest question marks. The suspensions of Carlos Hyde and Rod Smith, the two guys expected to be at the top of the depth chart, have left the backfield in disarray. Although Jordan Hall is still with the team and has been named the starter for the season opener, he may take on more of a hybrid role rather than the traditional pro-style running back. True freshman Dontre Wilson has been a standout during fall practice, using his blazing speed to work his way up the depth chart and will start the game as the backup H-back behind senior wide receiver Chris Fields. Players like sophomore Bri’onte Dunn and redshirt-freshman Warren Ball will also be hoping to take advantage of the suspensions when noon rolls around on Saturday.

3. How Doran Grant matches up with Alex Neutz Despite finishing 4-8 last season, one bright spot for Buffalo was wide receiver Neutz. The then-sophomore led his team with 1,015 yards, 65 receptions and 11 touchdowns last year. With starting cornerback Bradley Roby also suspended for the Buckeyes, it will be on junior Doran Grant to cover the Bulls’ top weapon. Grant only has one start in his career, last season against Alabama Birmingham, and is forced into a tough spot against Buffalo. Sophomore Armani Reeves will also be getting the start at cornerback and could take some time lining up against Neutz, but most of the time it will be Grant trying to shut down Buffalo’s top receiver.

It remains to be seen how Grant will hold up when matched up one-on-one with a No. 1 receiver during an actual game.

4. Braxton Miller Despite the negative storylines this offseason (Hyde, Roby, Smith suspensions) and the questions about the defensive front, there is still one reason for fans to be confident. Miller is back and, in year two of Meyer’s spread offense, is more capable than ever. Throughout much of the fall practice, Meyer and offensive coordinator/QBcoach Tom Herman have been raving about the strides that Miller has made in terms of his

fundamentals. When you add that to his already potent athletic ability, a recipe for success seems to be in place for the Buckeye signal caller. Although he may not be the nation’s top quarterback (Teddy Bridgewater, Louisville) or it’s most explosive player (De’Anthony Thomas, Oregon), Miller’s ability as a dual threat quarterback will put him into the Heisman conversation and help the Buckeyes pursue their championship expectations.

5. Cameron Johnston After Ben Buchanan graduated, OSU was left in a tough situation at punter. Buchanan spent four years punting for the Buckeyes and finished his career as the eighth best punter in school history, averaging 41.2 yards per punt. But after his replacement made a last second switch, decommitting from OSU on signing day, things looked bleak. In steps Australian-born Johnston.

After discussions with special teams coordinator Kerry Coombs, Johnston committed to the Buckeyes and is listed as the starting punter Saturday. If called upon with the rest of the punting unit, Johnston will face immense pressure in his first time at Ohio Stadium with the Buckeye faithful counting on him to succeed.

2. Changes to the front seven The most buzz coming out of Urban Meyer’s first recruiting class for the Buckeyes was focused around the defensive line, particularly sophomore defensive ends Noah Spence and Adolphus Washington. The duo showed off their potential during the Ohio State spring game on April 13, totaling seven sacks, and will make their first collegiate starts Saturday opposite of each other. Junior nose tackle Joel Hale, junior defensive tackle Michael Bennett, junior middle linebacker Curtis Grant and sophomore linebacker Joshua Perry all have either limited or no experience as a regular starter for the Buckeyes. With only junior linebacker Ryan Shazier returning in the front seven, the new guys will have to step up their game to live up to the legacy left behind by players like John Simon and Jonathan Hankins.

Men’s soccer ready to start season at Wolstein Classic over weekend

Eran Hami Lantern reporter hami.2@osu.edu The Ohio State men’s soccer team is set to kick off their 2013 season this weekend in the Bert and Iris Wolstein Classic at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

OSU is set to take on UNC-Wilmington Friday at 7:30 p.m. and Northern Illinois Sunday at 2:30 p.m.

The Buckeyes are coming off a disappointing season with an overall record of 6-10-3, finishing seventh in conference play while going 0-4-2. Their average goals per game were 1.36, while their goalsagainst average was 1.68.

Despite graduating 10 seniors, including leading goal scorers Austin McAnena and Chris Hegngi, OSU returns 11 letter winners. Of those 11, four are returning starters, senior defender and captain Sage Gardner, junior forward Kenny Cunningham, sophomore midfielder

Zach Mason and junior defender Zach Dobey. Also returning is goalkeeper junior Alex Ivanov who started seven games and had a goals against average of 1.73.

There are 17 newcomers for The Buckeyes this season and nine are true freshmen. OSU has the 29th ranked rookie class according to College Soccer News.

“Through three preseason games, I think all the new faces have showed a lot of confidence,” Gardner said.

Gardner added the new players still seem a bit timid but “that’s just the nature of the beast.”

OSU looks to have a difficult schedule ahead of them this season, as they will play five opponents who are ranked in the top 25. Three of those games will be on the road, including a trip to preseason No. 1 and reigning national champion Indiana. When asked about the tough schedule, Gardner said with a smile that he’s “excited.”

Coach John Bluem said the challenging schedule is positive for the program and the players.

“You want the players to be challenged and they really enjoy playing in the big games,” Bluem said. “I think it helps with recruiting … guys that come to Ohio State know we are willing to play anybody, any place, any time and we think we can hold our own.”

Gardner, fifth-year senior defender Ben Killian (returning from a season long foot injury), and junior midfielder Alec Lowell have been named “Players to Watch” in the Big Ten Conference.

Killian said he’s good to go for the season.

“100 percent,” Killian said. “I did a lot of rehab this summer, making sure I’m strengthening everything.”

Cincinnati will play Northern Illinois in the tournament opener 5 p.m. Friday. The Buckeyes and Cincinnati will switch opponents for Sunday.

sports Commentary: Johnny Manziel 1st half game suspension too light tim moody Lantern reporter moody.178@osu.edu Texas A&M redshirt-sophomore quarterback Johnny Manziel, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, has been suspended for allegedly being involved in the signing and sale of merchandise.

Was he suspended for half the season? No. For the non-conference season? Nope. The entire first game? Negative.

Manziel has been suspended for a whopping one half of the team’s first game (which will likely be an easy victory against an overmatched Rice team).

Allegedly, Manziel received tens of thousands of dollars to sign autographs throughout multiple signing sessions. On Thursday the NCAA released a statement saying, essentially, there was no evidence that Manziel received payment for autographs. It did say, however, Manziel was found guilty of a separate (and lesser) NCAA violation.

From the point of view of the Buckeye faithful, it’s hard to believe that Johnny Football would have received such a pointless penalty had he chosen to play ball in Columbus.

The now infamous “Tattoo-Gate” (which supposedly dealt with less

money than the Manziel situation) led to former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor leaving the university for the NFL, the forced end of Jim Tressel’s coaching career and multiple suspensions for various players.

On top of that, the team received multiple sanctions, including a selfinflicted bowl game ban for 2012-13.

While the two situations are certainly different, I just do not see how the NCAA justifies their decisions at this point.

In one case, the NCAA nearly ruined one of the most successful football programs in history, in another they slapped their new poster boy on the wrist.

I understand that Manziel was not found guilty of the greater violation, but from everything that has been reported, it seems like the NCAA must not have put forth much effort into finding evidence.

Would I say the NCAA favors him? Yes, I would, and I truly believe a greater suspension would have been handed down if he played for OSU, regardless of the evidence that came up.

They want to be known as the tough kid on the block, but today the NCAA proved that they are hiding out with their tails between their legs.

The media have a field day when OSU gets in trouble, and the NCAA is proud to hand the Buckeyes tougher sanctions than any other school (save one or two), but when the great hero Johnny Football leaps over the line, they simply move it further away.

OSU women’s volleyball set to start season this weekend tim moody Lantern reporter moody.178@osu.edu

DANIEL CHI / For The Lantern

Then-senior Mari Hole attempts to score during a match against Nebraska Sept. 22, 2012, at St. John Arena. OSU lost, 3-1.

The Ohio State women’s volleyball team will kick off its 2013 season at the NIU Invitational in DeKalb, Ill., Friday against Liberty.

OSU opens the season ranked No. 23 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association preseason poll, coming off a year in which the squad made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament before it fell to Kentucky.

Coach Geoff Carlston said the Buckeyes will not be trying to fill the holes left by the departures of third-team All-American outside hitter Mari Hole, honorable mention All-American outside hitter Emily Danks, setter Amanda Peterson and middle blocker Mariah Booth.

“Every year is different, every team’s dynamic is a little bit different,” Carlston said, adding the Buckeyes are “trying to figure out what’s the best lineup for this group of people.”

Beyond figuring out a new lineup, losing four seniors can leave a leadership void. Carlston said his current seniors, libero Davionna DiSalvatore, defensive specialist Julianne Mandolfo and outside hitter Kaitlyn Leary, have helped to fill the gap.

“I’m excited to just take on that role,” Leary said. “And (I’m) ready for it.”

Carlston said outside hitter Erin Sekinger, defensive specialist Alyssa Winner and setter Taylor Sherwin have helped to fill in as well.

“These kids who are juniors have stepped up too,” Carlston added. “They noticed that they needed to.”

Freshman middle blocker Taylor Sandbothe said the returning players have helped bridge the gap for the four newcomers, and make sure everyone is on the same page as the coaches.

“Let’s say practice starts at 3 (p.m.),” Sandbothe said. “Secretly that means practice starts at 2:30 (p.m.).”

Carlston praised his newcomers and returnees alike, but said the team still has areas to improve, including communication and aggressiveness.

“You know, be aggressive,” he said. “Don’t worry about making mistakes.”

The Buckeye coach said he is not worried about these issues, but understands that his team has a very tough schedule ahead.

OSU will take on Liberty at 6 p.m. Friday, followed by a double header Saturday against Green Bay at 1 p.m. and Northern Illinois at 8 p.m.
