Finished 31-20 over San Francisco 49ers

On February 2, the Kansas City Chiefs took on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV in Miami, FL. The Chiefs took it home.

Chiefs quarterback and 2018 league MVP Patrick Mahomes threw two interceptions early in the game, but was able to gain momentum, lead the team to a victory, and earn the title of MVP.

It had been 50 years since the Chiefs saw their first- and only- Super Bowl win before Sunday’s big game. The 49ers had a Super Bowl run in the 80s and 90s and dominated the league with six total Super Bowl wins, their last being in 1995.

Demi Lovato opened the night with the singing of the National Anthem and Shakira and Jennifer Lopez performed during the

halftime show.

Dearborn native and Fordson alumnus Robert Saleh, who is current corrdinator for the 49ers, was the first coordinator of Arab descent to ever coach in a Super Bowl, leading to much of Dearborn rooting for the Californian team.

Those that watched the game just for the commercials were left happy, too- for the

Davos 2020: Climate issues still divisive

By CLAIRE KOWALEC Staff Writer @claire.ko

From Jan. 21 through Jan. 24, the World Economic Forum met in Davos, Switzerland to negotiate plans related to business and industry standards for 2020. This year, climate change was at the forefront of the discussion as environmental circumstances are posing threats to business, political, and industrial interests in a variety of sectors across the globe.

According to Time magazine, “in the last five years, the cost of climate-related disasters in the U.S. topped $525 billion, close to a third of the cost of natural disasters since 1980. Meanwhile, climate activists have forced corporate leaders to at least say they’re listening.”

Several bankers in attendance debated the role of national governments in curbing the effects of climate change touching on carbon tax and banks’ refusal to lend to fossil fuel companies, the Wall Street Journal reported. The discussion regarding the role of leading global governments versus economic networks such as banks in addressing climate change is very relevant. Demands from Australians encouraging their prime minister to actively address the climate-related causes of the bush fires at the end of 2019 are a recent example of the dispute.

Talk about imposing a carbon tax on fossil fuel companies and other businesses

that contribute to carbon emissions became a central focus of the meeting, considering that the European Union and other European nonmembers of the EU recently committed to reducing their carbon emissions.

“Last month, the European Union— with the exception of coal-reliant Poland-committed itself to zero net carbon emissions by 2050,” the Wall Street Journal said. “The U.K., which is leaving the bloc at the end of the month, has pledged a similar target. Ms. Marin’s center-left government in Finland, a country of just 5.5 million people, has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2035.”

Climate activist Greta Thunberg stressed that the global community has eight years to react to climate change to save the natural environment, among other statements, according to the World Economic Forum’s website. She encouraged disinvestment in companies with large carbon emissions and called on the First World nations to react more quickly to climate change.

Her statements were met with some frustration by leaders in the economic world, who asserted that her inexperience with the world of economics inhibits her from providing reasonable suggestions to the corporate and political spheres.

Steven Mnuchin, the United States Secretary of the Treasury, was quoted in his disapproval of Thunberg’s statements.

“Mr. Mnuchin described Ms. Thun-

Photo//World Economic Forum berg’s call for disinvestment from fossil-fuel companies as “a joke”,” the Wall Street Journal said.

The World Economic Forum released its 2020 Global Risks Report prior to convening in Davos, which outlined environment and climate-related risks to the global economy.

On its website, the World Economic Forum explained the major claims of the report.

“The global economy is facing an increased risk of stagnation, climate change is striking harder and more rapidly than expect-

ed, and fragmented cyberspace threatens the full potential of next-generation technologies — all while citizens worldwide protest political and economic conditions and voice concerns about systems that exacerbate inequality,” the World Economic Forum said.

Although the climate issue is still divisive, Forbes highlighted the major result of the Davos 2020 forum, which involves planting and protecting one trillion trees worldwide within the next decade.

WHO declares coronavirus global health emergency

By ZEENA WHAYEB Staff Writer Twitter @xena2001w

On January 30, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Wuhan coronavirus, 2019-nCoV, a global health emergency. WHO was previously hesitant, claiming it was too early. However, the virus continued to spread into China’s 31 provinces, and when the death toll jumped to 170 and the infected to over 7,700, WHO decided to make the announcement.

As of February 1, the death toll has passed 300 with over 14,000 infected, with one or more confirmed cases found in Australia, Cambodia, Canada, France, Finland, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam. According to BBC News, “The US and Australia said they would deny entry to all foreign visitors who had recently been in China, where the virus first emerged in December. Earlier, countries including Russia, Japan, Pakistan and Italy announced similar travel restrictions.” Many countries around the world have closed their doors to arrivals from China, despite WHO’s warnings that “travel restrictions can cause more harm than good by hindering info-sharing, medical supply chains and harming economies,” and that countries should focus on extensive health screenings instead. American, Delta, and United Airlines are also halting all flights to China. United States citizens and residents

arriving from China will be quarantined for 14 days, as other countries also evacuate their citizens out of Hubei province.

The virus has also impacted the stock markets. According to The Wall Street Journal, “Anxiety swept through stock, bond and metals markets as investors reached for traditionally safer assets like Treasurys and gold. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 606 points, or 2.1%.” Chinese Ambassador Chen Xu told reporters in Geneva, “There is no need for unnecessary panic, and no need for excessive measures,” he also cites WHO’s advice against travel restrictions, “We don’t believe it is advisable to take all of these measures, unnecessary or excessive measures to cut off the airline or to shut down the border.” However, countries with confirmed cases have continued to take matters into their own hands.

More has been learned about the virus: The New York Times reports that symptoms show “possibly between 2 and 14 days, allowing the illness to go undetected.” It is also estimated that the virus is roughly as contagious as SARS, the coronavirus that spread in China in 2003 and resulted in over 700 deaths and infected over 8,000 people before it was contained, and has a lower fatality rate. However, as of February 1, this coronavirus has surpassed SARS’ number of confirmed cases.

As paranoia mounts, some Chinese people are experiencing xenophobia. The Guardian reports that in Rome, Italy, a sign outside a coffee shop said “all people from China” were not allowed to enter. In another incident, a professor “telling students from China, Japan

With this rise in panic and xenophobia, health officials have emphasized the virus’s low fatality rate. Many patients have fully recovered; the virus is only deadly to the elderly or those with weakened immune systems.

Brexit is final: UK leaves the EU

By KINSEY BURNETT News Editor @kinseyburn

The UK held a European Union Membership referendum in June 2016, a vote on Brexit, and the vote was 51.9% in favor of leaving the EU, according to BBC’s published numbers.

In March 2017, the UK government announced the beginning of the process. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom as a Constitutional Monarchy and Commonwealth, and have been a crucial member of the EU for over 40 years. The steps to be taken to leave the EU were difficult and took three years. Brexit was finalized on Friday Jan. 31, 2020.

Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson, stated on Twitter, “Tonight we have left the EU - an extraordinary turning point in the life of this country. Let us come together now to make the most of all the op-

portunities Brexit will bring - and let’s unleash the potential of the whole UK.” David Cameron was the leader of Britain’s Conservative Party from 2005 to 2016 and served as Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016.

Cameron campaigned for the referendum and made the vote happen. Shortly after, he was replaced by Theresa May as Prime Minister and leader of the party. In 2019, she was replaced by Boris Johnson.

Going forward, the UK will have to negotiate trade with the EU and other countries as they now stand alone. Johnson is adamant that this isn’t an end for the British people, but a fresh start. His goals are to make choices that benefit the UK’s citizens, using their new sovereignty to reform immigration, boost the fishing industry and create free trade deals.

Dr. Mikhail Varshavski, a primary care physician at Chatham Family Medicine, has stated that as it is a potential threat, especially in the U.S., and not yet a crisis, the public must be “alert, not anxious.” The best precautions to take are the basic preventive measures, such as washing one’s hands and refraining from touching one’s face.

Competitions: A proof of concept for Math Club

By JAMES CARZON Guest Writer

It’s December 7. A confederacy of twelve math nerds sit having set aside a whole Saturday to do optional homework problems. By the end of the day, most of their questions remained unsolved.

Part of Math Club’s goal recently has been to increase participation in competitions. Back in April of 2018 there were only two students from Dearborn competing at the Lower Michigan Math Competition (LMMC) at Hillsdale College. By Fall 2019 there was hardly a moment when there weren’t students working on problems in CASL’s Math Library. The new program of practice and performance is paying off.

In the last year, the department’s mathematics competitors have had tangible success.

At the 2019 LMMC hosted at Kalamazoo College, all three teams from UM-Dearborn

placed in the top ten including a third place finish out of twenty-one teams total. From November’s Michigan Autumn Take-Home Challenge, a regional contest typically taken by nearly eighty teams, a similar yield is expected though official scores are unposted as of this writing.

Undaunted, there was a good turnout for the William Lowell Putnam Mathematics Competition, the notorious six-hour long motherlode of undergrad math exams. Of the twelve problems that are assigned in any given year, most students will score no points. It’s that hard.

Brendan Koteles is one of the students who has been involved ever since that little trip to Hillsdale. He believes that there is much to gain from competing. “Math competitions are a great way of helping us improve our abstract thinking and our ability to come up with solutions to problems we’ve never been taught with the tools we have already,” he stated.

Photo//https://umdearborn.edu/casl/departments/mathematics-and-statistics Many problems are designed to take challenging concepts and make simple questions of them as well as to take simple concepts and make something challenging of them. In this way, one can learn a lot.

In addition to improving academically, Brendan pointed out that through these events there also becomes a social benefit for the participants. “I probably wouldn’t have become part of the [mathematics student] community without the math competitions being something that could bring us together,” he reflected.

One of the reasons why Dearborn students are starting to see positive results is an increase in time spent at practice. Assistant Professor Michael Dabkowski shares a lot of problems, including writing his own mock exam right before major meets. The Math Club’s own Problem Solving Workshop provides addition-

al meeting times to work on problems. (For full disclosure I might as well admit that my leadership role in the club does confirm that I am in part responsible for this workshop.)

Having plenty of exercise and a dedicated mentor can go a long way toward impressive results.

Looking ahead, there is still a lot of preparation to be had for the next LMMC this April, which will be hosted at UM-Dearborn for the first time. With the home-field advantage it is expected that there will be a significant turnout of Dearborn students, and with their current trajectory a big win is not a far-fetched fiction.

Student poetry this week

For that Child

By MUSTAFA AL-ASADI Staff Writer @mwofasa

I see you, but you don’t see me You don’t even know if I exist I sing for you, but you don’t listen to me You don’t even know if I have a...voice I wait for you, but you don’t stay with me You don’t even know if I have a...soul I’m lonely without you, but you don’t even care about me You don’t even say I love you I cry, cry for hours for you, but you don’t come to me You don’t even say...I’m sorry I’m a lonely child who looks for love, but doesn’t receive any I cry alone at night hoping someone to come to say..everything is okay Am I a monster? Do I scare easily? If so, I’m sorry Why don’t you want to tuck me in bed and kiss me in my forehead?

Don’t you want to make sure that I’ll be okay for the night?

Or to make sure that there’s no monsters under my bed?

I’m sorry...if I caused you pain and misery I’m sorry for whatever to make you hate me I’m sorry for apologizing so much, for existing It’s so hard to live, death has never been so easy…

I’m sorry… ..

Meditation

By MUSTAFA AL-ASADI Staff Writer @mwofasa

I want you to close your eyes, take deep breaths and relax I want you to imagine that you’re lying flat on the grass on a hill with a blue sky I want you to do an important thing: whatever comes to your mind, just brush it away lightly You’re the center of this world you imagined, your the creator of this world you visioned - no judgement here.

Now I want you to think of the things you enjoy and the people in your life that matters I want you now to open your ears and ask yourself, what is the thing that you’re hearing?

Is it a bird? Is it a whisper? Is it the breeze of the wind? Is it your heartbeat?

I want you now to close your eyes and open your tongue, what is the thing that you’re tasting?

Is it the leaves? Is it the water? Is it your favorite food?

I want you now to close your tongue and open your nostrils, what is the thing you’re smelling?

Is it the flowers? Is it the perfume? Is it the fresh air?

I want you now to close your nostrils and open your arms, what is the thing you’re reaching?

Is it the tree near you? Is it the sky above you?

Now before you open your eyes, I want you to believe that you can surround yourself with the people that matter to you, with the things you enjoy, and that to be done now not tomorrow.

Now open it and live!

Poetry and other creative works can be submitted to the Michigan Journal through Writing Center After Dark, the creative writing club on campus.

Here’s why death helps us live a full life

By MUSTAFA AL-ASADI Staff Writer @mwofasa

Last week, Kobe Bryant’s death took the world by surprise and there’s been memorial services held all over, even during the Grammys. I don’t want to sound morbid, but I constantly think about what happens when we die - it’s not a depressing kind of thing.

Think back to the people who have died and how much that affected you before and after. It doesn’t only have to be with people, but also with animals. I think as a society, we don’t like to talk about it but handling death can be one of the hardest things, trying to fill a void in our lives. I think it's good to have a community where people have support, especially if they are contemplating sucide. It’s never anyone’s fault because death is a heavy burden to carry. I see many brothers and sisters from this community die - I want to take a moment of silence for them and remind you it’s okay to cry.

Some people think that Death is tragic, but I think it’s beautiful. It might be the end for this world, but their spirit is always living - a part of them lives within us. We have a spiritual bond with our loved ones. That connection that we made never dies - that’s the power of love. The power to love is the best gift to anyone, even in death. Love them in life and love them in death.

I truly believe that when someone dies, their spirit lives on within our forests, rivers, mountains, oceans, within us and our souls.

It’s okay to let them go, no matter how hard it may seem. We shouldn’t be scared of death.

The only one way to conquer death is to live. So many young deaths happen in the world, too young to taste the fruit of this life.

Some people die before entering this world.

It seems like life picks and chooses who lives or dies. This is more of a reason to live and not to be scared of death. You should live the way you want because no matter what, we all become dust. It doesn’t mean to be reckless or forgo purpose, but just go with the flow and don’t worry because everything will be alright, no matter how you choose to live life.

As someone who constantly thought about death more than life itself - let me tell you, it’s a trap -you shouldn’t even test the waters.

Nothing is more powerful than the will to live.

At the end of the day, it’s best to think of death as a natural part of life - just like growing up from a child to an adult. It’s a transition period, except that you don’t get to be part of it until you have reached the end.

MI Travel Guide: “Made in Michigan”

By NATHAN LAWRENCE Staff Writer

U of M gets tons of international and outof-state students every semester. Often times, these students get mildly confused at the quirks that we as Michiganders do every day. I understand that some people might like to have an explanation of sorts while they are here in the Ole Mitten. I’m here to try and clear up your confusion! For the next few weeks, I’m going to explain a few things about Michigan or Michiganders that might be confusing for you This week, we’re talking about food and other consumables.Michiganders tend to be real proud of our “Made In Michigan” products. If you mention that on your food, we’ll buy the heck out of it.

1. Faygo It’s a Pop or soda as some people in the South call it, that is made in Michigan. There are all sorts of flavors, but Rock n’ Rye and Orange appear to be our favorites. Red Pop, a strawberry flavored Faygo, is one of my personal favorites.

2. Vernors It’s a Ginger Ale, but no one calls it that.

Most of us have grown up with it; either a family member drinking it, or we ourselves drinking it. It is used by us mostly as a recreational drink or (and this is a FACT) to help stomach, head or other internal aches. The funny thing?

It usually helps. If you’re a native of Michigan and you DON’T like Vernors, then Canada Dry might be the Ale you go for but get tons of crap from your family members.

3. Sanders’ It’s a brand of desert-like items that are all made here in the ole- mitten state. Caramel and Fudge sauce, Ice Cream...you name it, they sell it.

4. Better Made Surprisingly, not all Michiganders are real Crazy about this home-brand. The Plain chips are thought to be “too plain” but we love their BBQ flavor one.

5. Coney islands They’re everywhere, just about as often as a McDonald’s is! Don’t believe me? Take a drive through any city for a day. You’ll find that there are just as many Coney Islands

and Family Diners as there are McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Arby’s and Burger King’s. The most popular one you’ll see is probably a “Leo’s Coney Island.” If you want a REAL Michigander Coney, go to Detroit and find the Lafeyette Coney Island. The address is 118 W Lafayette Blvd, Detroit, MI 48226.

6. Pasties As hard as they are to pronounce, they are one of the easiest things to get messy eating.

A Pastry dough filled with potatoes, meat, and veggies topped with a dark gravy, this iconic dish is absolutely delish if you can find a homemade recipe!

7. Fudge Not just any Fudge, but the Mackinac Island Fudge. And that city is pronounced “MAC en naw” not “MAC en ACK”. The fudge isn’t too different from fudge you’ll find elsewhere, but if you tell someone you’re making fudge, you’ll get a whole crowd at your door. If you see it at a street fair, BUY IT. It’ll be the richest, creamiest fudge you’ll have in your life.

8. Apples We are the Bread Basket state after all.

So it makes sense that Apple Farms are a fun activity. Apple Charlies is a popular location where you can get Homemade Apple Cider and Apple Doughnuts. Want some apples for dinner? Cop a good 3-4 and put them in a skillet. Put butter, brown sugar and cinnamon in with them and stir often on medium heat.

Soon, you’ll have wonderful fried apples that taste excellent.

9. Square pizza Pizza isn’t always round. I like to have a nice thick slice that has a crispy crust, and whatever toppings I ordered. Square pizza is very Michigander! It’s referred to as DetroitStyle Square pan pizza in some Non-Native Pizza places.

10. Germack Pistachio Co. This is a LEGENDARY company that simply deals in Nuts. Peanuts, almonds, and above all, of course, Pistachio. You might not be impressed, but as I said before, we Michiganders are real fierce about our products.

There you have it, a guide to the top ten “Made in Michigan” food an consumables.

Stay tuned for more Michigan Travel guides coming in the next few weeks.

Celebrate Black History Month with Music

By KRISTIN ORR Arts & Entertainment Editor @dullgirlkrist

Ultimate Black History Playlist

It’s officially February, which is better known as Black History Month. What better way is there to celebrate than listen to these iconic albums and songs from legendary artists? From the classics like N.W.A’s “Straight Outta Compton” to Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp a Butterfly,” here’s a look at some of my favorites, and what you could listen to during your daily commute or in your spare time.

“The Blacker The Berry” - Kendrick Lamar

“To Pimp a Butterfly” - Kendrick Lamar Released after the Ferguson Riots and the emergence of “Black Lives Matter,” Kendrick expresses his frustration of violence and systemic racism against African Americans in this album. Most notable from this album are songs “Alright” and “The Blacker the Berry,” where Kendrick addresses his opinions on black crime. This album has since gone Platinum, and received the Best Rap Album award at the 2016 Grammys Awards.

“Shook Ones, Pt. II” - Mobb Deep

“Straight Outta Compton” - N.W.A This album shows the brutal truth of what life was like living in Compton and South Central Los Angeles during a period of police brutality and black on black crime. The album also focused on racial profiling, especially in songs “Straight Outta Compton.”

“Things Fall Apart” - The Roots The Roots fourth album, “Things Fall Apart” addresses racial issues in New York.

What’s also powerful about this album is the cover art, a photograph taken during the Civil Rights riots in the streets of Brooklyn.

“Rosa Parks” - OutKast

“Freedom” - Beyonce ft. Kendrick Lamar “Glory” - Common ft. John Legend “Don’t Touch My Hair” - Solange “Spiritual” - Jay-Z

“To Pimp a Butterfly” Cover Art. Photo// Universal

“4:44” Cover Art. Photo// Roc Nation

“4:44” - Jay-Z The thirteenth album by rapper Jay-Z touches on many topics, especially stereotypes and racism in America. One of the most notable songs from this album is “The Story of O.J.” which discusses what it’s like to be black in America.

“Awaken, My Love!” - Childish Gambino

“Lemonade” - Beyoncé This album touches more on the empowerment of African American women, touching on the negative stereotypes that they receive, and being comfortable in your own skin. In her song “Formation,” Beyoncé discusses her heritage while radiating the theme of being unapologetically black. It’s definitely one of the best albums to uplift black women.

Here are some honorable mentions that you should also check out, along with a Black History playlist featuring songs from some of these albums.

“DAMN” - Kendrick Lamar

“We The People….” - A Tribe Called Quest “Keep Ya Head Up” - 2Pac “Fu-Gee-La” - Fugees “Rise Up” - Andra Day

“Black Panther (Soundtrack)” - Kendrick Lamar and Various Artists

“Alright” - Kendrick Lamar

“This Is America” - Childish Gambino

“Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) - WuTang Clan

“Pray For Me” - The Weeknd ft. Kendrick Lamar

“Fear of a Black Planet” - Public Enemy

“a lot” - 21 Savage ft. J. Cole

“The Score” - The Fugees

“UMI Says” - Mos Def

“The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” - Lauryn Hill

“Forgive Them Father” - Ms. Lauryn Hill

“Stankonia” - OutKast “Black on Both Sides” - Mos Def

“What’s Going On” - Marvin Gaye “Say It Loud - I’m Black And I’m Proud” - James Brown

Beyoncé drops Adidas x Ivy Park line

By KYLAR DANIELS Staff Writer @kylar.cartier

Beyoncé has come out with a new Ivy Park line of activewear in collaboration with the popular athletic brand Adidas. The line was released on January 18th breaking the internet immediately. This is Beyoncé’s first-ever collaboration with her activewear brand Ivy Park and she is already dominating the sportswear scene.

In her collection, she includes a plethora of activewear items such as her inclusive genderneutral apparel, biker shorts, jackets, accessories, and four types of footwear. Beyoncé is no stranger to the sportswear industry, but her collaboration with Adidas with her Ivy Park activewear line was her first time entering the sneaker business.

All of the sneakers in this collection feature the Ivy Park logo and the well-known combined colors of maroon, orange, and cream that are common throughout the entire line.

The four different pairs of sneakers in collaboration with Ivy Park are the two different colors of Nite Joggers (my personal favorite), Ultra Boosts, and the Sambarose that are all designed by Beyoncé herself.

Queen Bey has been able to have even more free reign with the creative direction of Ivy Park now that she has bought out Philip Green’s share of the company. This provided Beyoncé to have full ownership of the brand Ivy Park and has led to its exponential growth today. This collection has size ranges from XS to XL. Despite this collection’s size range, each piece is oversized whereas it is advised to order a size (or two) down. The Adidas x Ivy Park collection has a diverse price range as well. So no one is left out regardless of economic background. Pieces are priced between $25 to $250.

But let us not forget the people who were blessed enough to be placed on the public relations list for this collection. A select few were met with a big orange box (and sometimes maroon) that resembled a closet at their doorstep. This popular orange closet was able to be opened from left to right by unbuckling the buttons (or unbuckling the box) and there you

were met with multiple pieces from the Adidas x Ivy Park collection and a note from Beyoncé herself. Fun unboxing videos have already hit the internet from celebrities such as Yara Shahidi, Janelle Monae, Reese Witherspoon, and Kelly Rowland (Beyoncé’s childhood friend).

This collaboration has taken the sportswear industry by storm, selling out within days of being released, and it is truly an honor to see one of the world’s leading sportswear companies collaborate with one of the biggest music inspirations, Beyoncé.

Recap: Season 2 of Kian and JC’s ‘Reality House’

By JESSICA ATANASOVSKI Staff Writer @heyitsjessnicole

If YouTubers Kian and JC have taught us anything, it’s that there’s nothing more chaotic and entertaining than an isolated house filled with social media influencers who have no access to any social media.

The Reality House is a YouTube series produced and hosted by Kian Lawley and JC Caylen, where they gather various YouTube and social media personalities in one house and have them compete in challenges until all but one person is eliminated. The winner brings home a cash prize.

Kian and JC are back, having renewed their successful YouTube show The Reality House for another season. The first go-around received high praise and interest with over 26.6 million total views. Season 2 premiered last month on Jan. 10, which means the cell

The stakes are higher this season with Kian and JC awarding the last standing YouTuber in the house $50,000, which is double than last season’s prize. The production and editing has also been revamped with competitors now wearing mics, “hidden” cameras and a new intro.

New episodes come out on Mondays and

Review: ‘Uncut Gems’

My Chemical Romance sells out tour in 6 Hours

By MUSTAFA AL-ASADI Staff Writer @mwofasa

“Uncut Gems” is a film that represents how decisions can lead to something bad. My overall rating of the film is a 3 out of 5. There were scenes that took too long, some that’ll have your head scratching, and scenes that didn’t support the overall plot.

Directed by Benny Safdie and Josh Safdie, the film was released nationwide last year on Christmas Day. Starring Adam Sandler as Howard Ratner, Kevin Garnett as himself, and Idina Menzel as Howard’s wife, Dinah Ratner.

“Uncut Gems” is about a jewelry store owner, Howard Ratner, trying to balance his business and his family with a high-stakes gambling lifestyle in New York City. He soon runs into trouble and realizes that’s not the lifestyle he wants.

What I got out of the film is that the theme is about high-risks and high-rewards. Though I liked the overall theme, I felt that there were some unnecessary scenes that didn’t go with the plot and didn’t support the character development of Howard.

What I also didn’t like about the film is that some of the scenes were too long and drawn out, such as the opening and the ending scenes. Kevin Garnett being in the film was cool, but I felt like his casting in the film was quite random. However, Howard’s character keeps you on the edge of your seat with his risky lifestyle and the nail biting situations he puts himself in.

I think that the film is definitely a must watch. It got a 8/10 on IMDb, a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 90% Metacritic.

Critic Reviews

“It’s a breathless journey that captures the exhilaration and the hopelessness of living life on the edge. It’s a gamble that pays off, and then some.”

Adam Graham, Detroit News “It’s entertaining but not in any traditional, or even nontraditional, sense of the word.”

Michael O’Sullivan, Washington Post “Howard is a beast of a role, and the Safdies spotlight Sandler meeting every challenge.”

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

They’re back!

My Chemical Romance are going on tour since their break up in 2013.

Last year on Halloween, the band announced that they’d be reuniting and playing a show in Los Angeles. The show sold out in less than 5 minutes.

Photo// Twitter/ @MCRofficial This month they announced that they were doing a North American tour, with tickets going on sale January 31. Tickets for every date of the tour were sold out within 6 hours, despite the high prices.

Their tour will kick off here in Detroit on September 9 and will end in Los Angeles on October 16.

“Mr. Sandler is flat-out sensational as Howard Ratner.”

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal “This is the year’s most exciting film. You can take that to the bank.”

Peter Bradshaw, Guardian “It all ends up to be a film in which both Sandler and the Safdies are pulling out all the stops, and it works.”

By CHRIS CHEETAM Staff Writer @chris_cheetam27

The UM-Dearborn men’s basketball team took on Rochester University on Wednesday night in the first of their games this week. Defense was at a premium on Wednesday with both teams shooting over 50% from the floor.

Rochester was able to hold off a late push by the Wolverines to win 92-79.

Junior Jason Gigliotti chipped in another double-double with 24 points (9/12 FG) and 11 rebounds. He had a dominant first half in the low post with 15 of his 24 points coming in the first 20 minutes. For the season, Gigliotti is up to 13.6 points and 9 rebounds per game, leading the Maize and Blue in both categories.

Sophomore Elwood Tomlinson provided a spark off the bench with 18 points while knocking down four triples. He had all 18 of the Wolverine bench points for the game. Junior Jalen Paul had his season high in points, scoring 15 points along with dishing out 6 assists. Senior Cody Kegley contributed 12 points on 5 for 10 from the field.

With the first half winding down to the final seconds, the Wolverines were looking for a bucket going into halftime. Sophomore Zach Lattimer got free on the right wing, sinking a deep three to beat the buzzer. This cut the deficit to four going into the break and was a huge momentum boost to the Wolverines. They were not able to take this into the second half and Lattimer was held scoreless outside of the

The No. 5 UM-Dearborn men’s ice hockey team faced No. 9 Davenport University in a non-conference game on Friday at the UMDearborn Ice Arena.

Early in the week, senior Thomas Proudlock earned WHAC (Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference) Defensive Player of the Week honors. The goaltender made 143 saves over UM-Dearborn’s three games last week, including 65 in their loss against No. 19 Aquinas last Saturday. The award is the sixth of the season for Proudlock and the 12th of his career.

Against the Panthers on Friday night, the Wolverines continued a tough stretch against ranked opponents. They jumped out to a twogoal lead in the first period and held on the rest of the way to win 4-3. It was a team win for UM-Dearborn as all four goals were scored by different players. Senior Justin Dunn led the team with two-points off a goal and an assist.

Although Davenport outshot the Wolverines 35-21 for the game, the Maize and Blue emerged victorious because Proudlock continued his stellar play in net with 32 saves.

The game got off to an electric start as the teams combined for four goals in the opening period. Senior Nic LaBurn scored under two minutes into the frame and sophomore Mathieu LaForest followed with another score at 6:44. Dunn picked up the assist on LaBurn’s goal, while freshman Adam Groat and junior Sean McLaren assisted on the second goal.

Joey Ogden scored to cut the Wolverine deficit to one, but UM-Dearborn was able to regain momentum just before the first intermission. Dunn recovered a loose puck with under two minutes to play and punched it into the back of the net to extend the lead to 3-1.

McLaren and freshman Mikhail Khudenko as-

sisted on the score.

The teams then traded goals in the second period. After Brad Reitter scored at the sevenminute mark, junior Billy Brock scored off a deflection three minutes later to maintain the two-goal lead on the Panthers. Junior Cameron Rossman assisted on the goal to earn his first-career point as a Wolverine. Groat also picked up his second assist of the game.

For the third time in the contest, Davenport cut the Wolverine deficit to one after Luke Cowan scored early in the third period. Proudlock and the defense was able to shut the Panthers down for the remainder of the game and lead UM-Dearborn to victory.

The victory improves UM-Dearborn to 186-2. They return to WHAC play next week with a three-game series against Lawrence Tech University. The first game of the series will be on Thursday at 7 p.m. at the UM-Dearborn Ice Arena.

buzzer beating trey.

Trying to snap the losing streak, the Wolverines took on Lawrence Tech at the UM-Dearborn Fieldhouse on Saturday. The Wolverines were able to hold off a furious comeback from LTU in the final moments of the game to win 70-65.

Senior Cody Kegley had the hot hand for the Maize and Blue with 20 points and 10 boards. He shot 6-12 from the field, but more importantly made 8 of his 10 free throws.

Lattimer bounced back in a big way, scoring 14 bench points and knocking down 4 of 5 from beyond the arc. Freshman Damian Forrest was the only other Wolverine in double digits with 12 points.

Senior Jared Jackson tied a season-high

with 8 points. Gigliotti was only able to make one shot for the game, but it was a key layup to help the Wolverines secure the victory. He finished with 5 points and 8 boards.

The win against the Blue Devils now puts the Wolverines at (14-10, WHAC 7-7).

The Wolverines will attempt to make it two wins in a row as they make the trip to Sylvania, Ohio to take on Lourdes University on Wednesday at 6:00 p.m. Lourdes is ranked 13th in the country, so UM-Dearborn will need to use the momentum from the recent win to be victorious again.

UM-Dearborn 66, Rochester 53 The UM-Dearborn women’s basketball team continued their three-game homestand this week, first against the Rochester University Warriors (7-15, WHAC 5-7). The Wolverines got the best of the Warriors in their previous meeting back in November 64-57.

After being held to just five points in the second quarter, the Wolverines used a 30 -point third to pull away for a 66-53 victory. UM-Dearborn went 8-10 from three point land in the quarter, including a perfect 3-3 and 2-2 respectively for juniors Lauryn Carroll and Cydney Williams.

Carroll finished with 14 points and three steals, while Williams contributed 11points and five boards. Freshman Rachel Bause was a force in the paint with a team-high ten rebounds to go along with nine points and four blocks. Junior Mariah Taylor offered a strong boost off the bench with 17 points (6-14 from the field, 3-6 from three) and five rebounds.

Lexy Tobel closed out the game with 12 points, while Devan Valko tacked on 11 to lead the Warriors.

Lawrence Tech 89, UM-Dearborn 72 The Wolverines closed out their homestand against the Lawrence Tech Blue Devils (16-8, WHAC 10-4), whom they lost to in their previous meeting by a close three points.

The Wolverines faced a nine-point deficit going into halftime before rallying to cut the Blue Devils’ lead to 68-63 to close out the third quarter. Lawrence Tech quickly drilled three threepointers on a 9-0 run to build their lead to 14 points. UM-Dearborn was able to chip away at the lead to a single-digit deficit at nine points, but the Blue Devils offensive prowess proved to be too much and Lawrence Tech escaped with a 89-72 victory.

Junior Ro’Zhane Wells only shot 2-15 from the field, but did her damage at the free throw line. She shot 11-12 from the charity stripe to go along with a team-high 11 rebounds and 11 assists to earn a triple-double. Taylor (18 points) and freshman AJ Fullerton (13 points) had it going from deep as both finished 3-5 on three-point attempts. The Wolverines shot well again at the three point line, this time closing the game at 38% from deep.

Kaitlyn Smith led the way for the Blue Devils with 27 points on 9-17 shooting, including 9-16 from deep. Teryn Kline contributed 19 points (4-7 from three), while Danielle Hanson finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds. The Blue Devils were unconscious from three, sinking 18-39 attempts to finish shooting at a 46% clip.

With Wednesday's win and Saturday’s loss, UM-Dearborn moves to (13-11, WHAC 6-8).

Three weeks remain in the regular season for the Wolverines, who will begin a two-game road trip next week against Lourdes University Wednesday night at 8:00 p.m. and then follow with a game against Siena Heights University Saturday at 3:00 p.m.

Johns Jr. shines at The Garden

By RYAN HOULIHAN Staff Writer

Entering the week, things seemingly could not have become any worse for the Wolverines as they were on a four-game losing streak and had just lost junior Isaiah Livers to another injury.

Early Monday afternoon, however, things got worse. News broke out that head coach Juwan Howard suspended senior captain point guard Zavier Simpson for Tuesday night’s Big Ten game against Nebraska for what Howard called “a violation of team rules.”

Tuesday night was the first game in Simpson’s illustrious Michigan career that he missed. Simpson had played in all 135 of his career games, starting in 85 of them, and posted a 100-35 record, making him one of the winningest players in Michigan Basketball history.

While the Wolverines came into Lincoln shorthanded and riding a four-game losing streak, the good news was that they were facing a rebuilding Nebraska squad (7-13, Big Ten 2-7), who lost their last five games.

Michigan held a slim advantage for most of the first half and took a 40-35 lead into halftime. The Huskers came out of the break hot, sinking six of their first nine shots, and pulled ahead 52-50 with under 14 minutes to play.

It looked like Nebraska was starting to take control of the game when the Wolverines responded with a 19-3 run over the next eight minutes to build up a 69-55 lead.

Nebraska cooled off offensively, especially from three-point land, and Michigan used their size advantage to wear down the Huskers

in the paint and on the glass. The Wolverines’ double digit lead was too insurmountable for Nebraska to overcome with six minutes left and Michigan closed out the game 79-68 to end their four-game losing streak.

Many media outlets stressed the importance of sophomore David DeJulius stepping up in Simpson’s absence, but it was junior Eli Brooks who took over many possessions as the lead guard and elevated his play in the absence of Simpson. Brooks led all Wolverine scorers with 20 points on 6-12 shooting to go along with nine rebounds and four assists.

Freshman Franz Wagner had an up and down game Tuesday night. He used his size to drive into the lane, ending the game with 18 points and eight rebounds. Wagner also used his length on the defensive end in the passing lanes and finished with three steals. Sophomore Brandon Johns Jr. scored a career-high 16 points and gathered in seven rebounds filling in for the injured Livers.

The Wolverines shot 28-56 (50%) on their field goals, but their three-point shooting woes continued Tuesday night as they finished shooting at 29% clip. Michigan used their size advantage to be the aggressors inside, especially in the second half, and as a result doubled up Nebraska’s free throw attempts 24-12.

The Wolverine’s size also helped them control the boards 41-27, including ten offensive rebounds against the worst defensive rebounding team in the Big Ten. Sophomore Cam Mack led the Huskers in scoring with 19 points (5-7 from three), while senior Haanif Cheatham, and freshman Kevin Cross both added 17. The Huskers finished

the night shooting 44% overall and 43% from three. Nebraska came into the game second in the Big Ten with eight made threes a game and the Huskers were able to knock down eight threes in the first 30 minutes of the contest to stay in the game, but went a cool 1-5 in the final ten minutes.

While it was against a young and inferior Huskers squad, it was a game the Wolverines could ill-afford to lose and an important win for the team moving forward.

Michigan flew to New York City to take on the No. 25 Rutgers Scarlet Knights (16-5, Big Ten 7-3) in Madison Square Garden on Saturday afternoon. The Wolverines came into Saturday’s contest on a nine-game winning streak at the Garden, including four wins en route to the Big Ten Tournament Championship in 2018.

Steve Pikel’s Scarlet Knights have been the surprise team in the Big Ten this year, already reaching their conference win totals from last year and garnering their first top 25 ranking since 1979.

Johns Jr. continued his breakthrough en route to a 69-63 victory over the Scarlet Knights to mark Michigan’s 10th consecutive win at the Garden. Johns Jr. finished with a career-high 20 points on 7-13 shooting to go along with seven rebounds and two steals. 15 of those points were in the first half as Johns Jr. drilled three threes early in the contest.

Michigan’s offense, which has struggled at times in the absence of Livers, had their way Saturday afternoon both inside and out. The Wolverines were drilling their three point attempts (shooting 47%) off great ball move-

ment and drive penetration. The ability to knockdown the outside shot greatly helped the offensive spacing.

The Wolverines also found success in ball screen situations as Rutgers was insistent on hedging with their post defenders, which left Michigan’s big men open on the roll to the basket. Senior Jon Teske had six of his 13 points off the roll, while senior Austin Davis had all eight of his points rolling to the rim.

After falling behind early in the second half, the Wolverines would use a 17-6 surge to build their lead to double digits with a little over ten minutes to play. The Scarlet Knights were able to stay in the game and claw back because of their dominance on the glass and ability to force turnovers. Rutgers finished the game with 26 offensive rebounds and they were able to force 16 Wolverine turnovers, including six from Simpson.

The Scarlet Knights trimmed the lead to three with 24 seconds to play, but Simpson and Wagner drilled a pair of free throws to ice the game. Simpson only had nine points in his return from suspension, but he was a great facilitator by dishing out ten assists and was able to hit four clutch free throws in the last minute to seal the victory.

Both wins moved Michigan to (13-8, Big Ten 4-6) and were critical to getting their season back on track. The Wolverines’ homestand continues next week with two huge rivalry games. First, on Tuesday night against Ohio State at 7:00 p.m. on ESPN 2, then a matchup against Cassius Winston and the Michigan State Spartans Saturday afternoon at 12:00 p.m. on Fox.

Softball opens season 2-4 at NAIA Leadoff Tournament

By ANDREW HANANIA Staff Writer @andrewhanania

The UM-Dearborn softball team started their season off this past weekend at the NAIA Leadoff Tournament at The Dome in Rosemont, Illinois. The team was (2-4) in the six games they played over Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

UM-Dearborn lost game one to St. Xavier by a score of 6-4. Sophomore shortstop Amber Cheplick provided the Maize and Blue with their offense by hitting a grand slam in the fourth inning, giving the Wolverines a 4-0 lead. St. Xavier scored six unanswered runs to beat the Wolverines.

The Wolverines lost the second game to Olivet Nazarene by a score of 9-7. Freshman center fielder Marisa Vermiglio, third basemen Madelin Skene, sophomore first basemen Makenna Millhorn, and senior catcher Kayla Laquiere each drove in a run.

UM-Dearborn won their first game on Friday against St. Francis by a score of 13-7. Vermiglio drove in three runs while Millhorn drove in two runs of her own. Skene, who also pitched in this game, drove in a run, along with junior right fielder Holly Kimes, senior third basemen Olivia Cottom, and senior catcher Liz Grumeretz.

Game four was a tough one for UM-Dearborn as they lost 8-0 to Roosevelt. The Wolverines were held to only three hits as Roosevelt handed them their third loss in four games.

While UM-Dearborn was able to get some runs on the board against Judson in game five, they still found themselves falling short of a win, losing by a score of 8-5. Millhorn drove in two runs, while freshman catcher Caitlyn Mauser and Cheplick each drove in one run.

UM-Dearborn ended the tournament on a high note, beating Goshen by a score of 9-8.

Skene and Cheplick each drove in a pair of runs, while sophomore Erin McCune, sophomore Gina Liss, sophomore Haley Tiseo, sophomore Aspen Starr, and Laquiere each drove in one run.
