An increasing number of students are making the decision to plagiarize, both at the University of Cincinnati and campuses across the country, said Daniel Cummins, director of judicial affairs at UC. Although there is a possibility that the number of students plagiarizing has remained the same, the new student code of conduct allows professors to catch more students in the act.

“Plagiarism and cheating have been steadily on the rise since the student code of conduct was rewritten three years ago,” Cummins said.

Professors and students have

many ideas about how students plagiarize. Yet, the most common opinion is based in increasing Internet technology plays a part.

Lorman recently began using SafeAssign, a program professors can use to check submitted papers for material copied from the Internet or other students, which has helped him catch an approximate 1 percent of his students who cheat on assignments.

“In the old days, you had to go a library to plagiarize,” said Thomas Lorman, a UC history professor.

“Nowadays you can go to a Web site and have information related to the essay.”

There are several Web sites available to students looking for

“It is easier. But Web sites like SafeAssign are good so that no one can steal your paper.”

Nov. 22 was marked with the passing of R. Robert Hornyak, former Bearcat band director, creator of the Bearkitten Drill Team and mind behind the famous marching band charge down the stadium. He was 84 years old.

Hornyak was at the University of Cincinnati for more than 50 years, dealing directly with Bearcat Bands and had a hand in many innovations such as band camp, which he helped establish in 1958.

To honor him, the R. Robert and Mary Hornyak Scholarship Fund was founded and anyone looking to send condolences is urged to instead donate money to the fund.

Hoxworth Center thirsty for more It’s my first day

Greater Cincinnati area experiences shortage of blood

“

Without the drive we’d be very panicky.

—elisha lipton, Hoxworth public relations representative

james sprague the news record

”

The Hoxworth Blood Center is hosting a week-long campus blood drive beginning Monday, Jan. 11, in hopes to replenish a blood supply hit hard by cancellations due to last week’s winter storm.

The cancellations hampered the center’s effort to reach the 800 units of blood collection mark and it is relying on the University of Cincinnati blood drive to reach that mark, said Eric Schmaltz, a consultant for the Hoxworth Blood Center.

“Our hospitals depend on it,” he said.

The Cincinnati area is not donating enough blood to meet patient needs, Schmaltz said.

Each day, 350 blood donors are needed for Hoxworth to supply blood to 32 hospitals in the area.

In 2009, 6,500 pints of blood were sent to Cincinnati from other blood centers throughout the country due to shortages, Schmaltz said.

“We’ve experienced a higher blood usage due to more advanced treatments that require blood transfusions,” said Elisha Lipton, a public relations representative for Hoxworth.

“The UC blood drive is extremely important, and without the drive, we’d be very panicky.”

One of two reasons for shortages includes the recent advances in medical treatment, such as cardiac surgeries and cancer care, Lipton said.

The second reason is based on the 37 percent of eligible donors in the area, of which only 5 percent actually donate, Schmaltz said.

The center experienced a loss due to cancellations Friday, Jan. 8, which prevented an estimated 230 donations.

In addition to the need for blood donors, there is also a need for platelet donors, Lipton said.

“Platelets are critical,” she said. “They only have a shelf life of five days.”

Hoxworth needs a total of 40 platelet donors per day to meet hospital needs.

This week’s event is the second of three planned campus blood drives of the school year, with the first one

• A/S/L? Must be at least 17 years of age and weigh at least 110 pounds.

• All piercings and tattoos are acceptable so long as sterile practices were used by a licensed facility.

• Use of Aspirin and antibiotics must be completed 48 hours prior to donation. Birth control medication is acceptable.

• Individuals with HIV, Hepatitis B or C or viral hepatitis after age 11 may not donate.

Death of primetime: TiVo’s rise It seems your friendly neighborhood slacker has once again found himself living with his parents, which means one thing: cable television.

Something relatively new to our television is TiVo, the digital video recorder (DVR) box used to save shows so you may fast forward, rewind and pause your programs.

This has been a life-changing implement to my daily routine, here’s why: My biggest beef with television was the fact that I had to plan my schedule around the programming in order to watch what I wanted. Primetime is now a thing of the past with DVR. Considering the fact that I’ve relied upon Hulu.com and streamed sites off Chinese databases for the bulk of my television fix, having a full array of 500 or more channels feels like I’m stealing. Except, it’s the opposite of stealing when you’re paying $124 per month.

The price tag is what keeps me from independently acquiring cable.

Paying for just wireless Internet dents my monthly budget enough and, in my opinion, if I only have the Web at my disposal, then I’m more likely to utilize that resource closer to its full potential. When I was without cable and wanted to watch my favorite shows, I would try my best to use the previously mentioned streaming sites. In general, I wouldn’t recommend this method. More often than not, you’re going to find dead links and terrible quality if you manage to successfully find something to watch. In my case, I ended up watching grainy episodes of “Dragon Ball Z” simply because it was one of the only working shows I could find.

Since DVR records the episodes and keeps them until I manually delete them, it keeps track of everything I’ve watched.

This is a nice way to gain a perspective on what has been on my TV, though I’m not the only one who has this information.

The cable company also has the information on what I’ve been recording. Privacy issues aside, this has done something extraordinary in revealing a very apparent feature about myself: I watch almost nothing but cartoons.

“Johnny Quest,” “The Venture Brothers,” “South Park” and “King of the Hill” are the primary shows in my DVR track list. While I’m not a huge fan of many crime shows, “Dexter” has also become a favorite of mine, making it (along with “30 Rock”) one of the rare live shows, with real actors, recorded on my DVR. So how has DVR actually changed television? The commercials. Something DVR banks on is the ability to fast forward through commercials.

This gives the viewer a false sense of cheating the system, like they’re not being constantly exposed to advertisements; this is simply not true. Look at a commercial as it’s fast forwarding, even at full speed.

You are almost guaranteed to still get the full gist of the commercial. As the commercial speeds through, the logo advertised remains onscreen for a sufficiently long enough time to know what they’re trying to sell and what it will do for you, even in bizarre selling-point logic. For example, watching an Axe body spray commercial shows me that sloppy, greasy young men will be aggressively and randomly caressed by vivacious, scantily clad blondes at the mall if they wear Axe. Now, you wont be able to make sense out of every commercial you watch on fast forward.

It’d be impossible to figure out Geico commercials without the contextual dialogue.

I’m not the type to willingly pay for cable — I’m fine without a working television so long as I have the Internet, video games, kittens and maybe a ukulele. My justification is that I’d be more productive without cable. That is bull shit. Now that mommy dearest is paying the cable bill, I’ve become a serious couch potato during my down time.

Charlie Sheen’s holiday season proved anything but happy when he spent most of Christmas Day incarceratedl following his arrest in Aspen, Colo., on two felonies and one misdemeanor relating to domestic violence. He was released on a $8,500 bond.

The charges were filed by his wife, real estate investor Brooke Mueller, who told police that an argument they had led to him threatening to kill her by putting a knife to her throat. Sheen has denied the allegations. Police later determined that the couple was drinking heavily at the time Mueller’s 9-1-1 call was made.

Like golf star Tiger Woods, Sheen’s recent martial troubles have undesirable effects on his professional life, specifically a loss of sponsors. Underwear company Hanes dropped Sheen from its advertising campaign Dec. 28. He had been in a series of TV commercials for the company alongside basketball legend Michael Jordan.

Hanes spokesman Matt Hall went on record saying that the decision was due to the allegations against the actor.

There have been no such disruptions reported on the set

Video games’ newest hottie

“Bayonetta” pierces gamers’ hearts with sexy action

The game’s heroine Bayonetta is in line to replace Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft as the cutest killer.

Megan Groves the news record

The battle between heaven and hell rages on in Bayonetta, one of a three-game deal between Sega and newly formed developer PlatinumGames Inc. Former Devil May Cry director Hideki Kamiya delivers a game that is fast, flashy and features the sexiest heroine to grace the video game world since the creation of Lara Croft.

Bayonetta starts off with the same-named heroine waking from a 200-year nap at the bottom of a lake with almost no memories of her past.

Born from the unsanctioned union between an agent of heaven and the Umbran witch clan, she is an outcast to Umbran society and must constantly slaughter members of the angel classes to avoid being dragged back to hell.

Bayonetta wields a multitude of weapons in her never-ending battle against the angels, including a Katana, a whip and whatever angelic weapons her foes drop during battle. But her signatures are her

of the sitcom “Two and a Half Men,” in which Sheen has the starring role. He reported back to work on the series after the holiday break.

Unlike Woods, Sheen projected a bad boy image prior to the holiday season. Not long after his star-making performance in “Platoon” (1986), he became better known for his hard-living lifestyle, which included drug use and relationships with prostitutes, than for his acting.

His involvement with prostitutes linked to Heidi Fleiss made headlines in 1993, as did his year-long marriage to Donna Peele in 1995.

His personal troubles began to minimize in 1998 due to intervention from his family, including his father, actor Martin Sheen, who co-starred with his son in “Wall Street” (1987). Following a stint in rehab, Sheen’s career also rebounded when, in 2000, he was cast as the lead in the ABC sitcom

four matching pistols, two of which attach to her boots allowing a unique fusion of Olympic-worthy melee and shooting attacks.

In addition to her regular attacks, Bayonetta can manipulate time by dodging at the last second, and can even walk on walls. Better yet, stringing combos fills up Bayonetta’s magic meter, allowing her to unleash the torture attacks fueled by her magic-imbued hair. I won’t spoil all the fun, but my personal favorite brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “I’ll stick my foot up your ass.”

But she doesn’t stop there. Bayonetta’s magic hair also possesses the ability to summon demons to help finish off the bigger boss battles. Since Bayonetta’s clothing is made from her wild mane, summoning demons requires that she show a little skin, made more exciting by watching her summons simultaneously rip her foe apart limb by limb.

Aiding Bayonetta in her quest are her two sidekicks, Enzo and Rodin. Enzo is a small-time hustler who resembles Joe Pesci in voice and appearance and provides Bayonetta with the

intelligence information she needs throughout the game. Rodin runs a bar called the Gates of Hell and moonlights as an arms dealer. He provides Bayonetta with weapons upgrades and supplies that can be exchanged for the halos that slain foes drop throughout the game.

Halos are one of only two complaints I harbor for this game. They might be called halos, but they look just like rings a la Sonic the Hedgehog. Game currency is one of those stale issues that resurface in every video game, but I can’t help but feel a little disappointed that PlatinumGames didn’t see the clichéd connection.

The other technical issue is another common problem: camera angles. The in-game camera can be pretty limiting, especially when tackling hordes of angels and attempting not to fall off the many small platforms and walkways that are forever disappearing beneath your feet. But it’s a small issue in comparison to the great things this game has to offer. see bayonetta | page 4

While the Internet makes plagiarism quick and simple for college students, it also proves useful for professors to detect cheaters.

Schools that use Blackboard receive free access to SafeAssign.

The Web sites turnitin.com and checkforplagiarism.net are similar tools professors might use to catch plagiarists.

“The vast majority of students don’t plagiarize,” Lorman said. “They struggle through their tests and do the work.”

One student disagrees with the punitive response to plagiarism.

“I think being expelled for plagiarism is a little extreme,” said Michael Presnall, a first-year health science student.

The faculty at UC, however, vow to continue to take plagiarism cases seriously.

as well as Lady GaGa, both of whose songs he covered Thursday night.

After opening with several of his brother’s songs and an original called “Indigo” with a Dave Matthews twang, Sam hit the high notes on Jason Mraz’s “Plane.”

Sam proceeded to charm with “Blue,” an original piece with a Violent Femmeslike melody and happy-golucky feel.

Listeners were then treated to a clever rendition of André 3000’s “Hey Ya!” that was reminiscent of Weezer’s acoustic version of “…Baby One More Time” by a younger Britney Spears. Followed by a skillfully manifested take on “Wiseman” by Slightly Stoopid

and after a cover of Sublime’s “Badfish” that had the crowd singing along, Minelli played another original. This one, titled “Vanilla,” was another example of heartfelt lyrics and a voice with strong convictions behind it.

As the night went on, Minelli continued to flaunt his abilities as a cover king with his own interpretations of Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi” and “Speechless,” the Boss’s “I’m on Fire” and a version of Jason Mraz’s “the Remedy,” that was free and clear of the original’s overcooked vocals. Minelli wrapped up the two-hour set with original songs “Gold” and “Yellow” that oozed with affinities for a young Bradley Nowell.

of three planned campus blood drives of the school year, with the first occurring last October.

Assisting the Hoxworth representatives with the blood drive this week are the UC Carecats, a volunteer organization that was reinstituted this past fall after a five-year hiatus.

Members will help with answering questions, passing out snacks after donations and insuring individuals receive assistance if they feel ill after donating, said Michelle Sterling, a fourth-year student in the College of Allied Health Sciences and president of Carecats.

The group has pproximately 150 members, Sterling said.

Carecats’ volunteers also created posters advertising the blood drive and free T-shirts for donors.

“We’re doing the best we can to get the word out there because in previous blood drives, sometimes I didn’t even know they were going on until the very last day,” Sterling said.

“So, this is something that we’re trying to make sure everyone knows.”

Other than receiving free snacks and T-shirts, on Monday donors will receive two free tickets to the Shadowbox Cabaret at Newport on the Levee.

All donors will be entered into a “100,000 Donors, 100,000 Heroes” contest, which offers such prizes as an Xbox 360, iPod Touch, digital cameras, laptops and gift cards.

The blood drive is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 11, and continues through Friday, Jan. 15, in Tangeman University Center Room 465.

Despite all of his good qualities, no commercial music success is certain for Sam due to such contributing factors as: there are more singer/ songwriters in the world than there are pandas, and there isn’t much that sets him apart from the others. He is a ballad man with a bare voice and doleful lyrics, which isn’t exactly attractive to youth who mistake good pop-folk carols for Brand New and the Plain White T’s’ enigmatic anthems of whining and self-loathing.

Being a cover king won’t get Sam to the top, something he is well aware of, but he has all the time in the world to grow as a musician and he is certainly one to watch for the future.

sitcom “Spin City,” following the departure of the show’s star Michael J. Fox. Following the series’ cancellation in 2002, Sheen was cast in CBS’s “Two and a Half Men,” which continues to be a ratings hit.

In 2002, Sheen married actress Denise Richards, his co-star in the movie “Good Advice” (2001).

They would later work together on episodes of “Spin City” and “Two and a Half Men,” as well as the film “Scary Movie 3” (2003). Richards filed for divorce in 2005, while pregnant with their second child.

Like Mueller, she accused Sheen of threatening her with violence.

Although their divorce was finalized the following year, they would engage in a bitter dispute over the custody of their two daughters, which lasted many months (Sheen also has another daughter from a previous relationship and twin sons with Mueller), with Richards obtaining a restraining order against him during that period. Sheen went on record in April 2009 saying he and Richards ended their dispute for the sake of their children.

Shen has been ordered to appear at an Aspen court over the recent allegations on Feb. 8.

Winter snow, ice are made bearable with shuttle system Last winter, after that giant ice storm hit Cincinnati and closed the university for two days (bliss), I gave a new meaning to the words “slip and slide.”

I was walking back to Daniels Hall after class and made it all the way to Market on Main, where a giant sheet of ice was threatening even the most graceful of students. And graceful I am not.

As I approached the area in question, I treaded as carefully as I could. At one point, I started slipping, but managed to regain my balance … just in time to face-plant spectacularly.

I landed on my knees, which bruised and ended up looking like two blotchy rainbows, and my front tooth, which chipped.

Luckily, my knees healed and I got my tooth fixed. Since then, I’ve been terrified of all things slippery and icy.

So far, this year hasn’t been too snowy — until last week. The first day there was snow; I walked out of my apartment, turned onto Calhoun Street and immediately fell. Three times.

And that was when I decided it was time for some changes. So, I started asking around for alternative methods of transportation.

It was then that I discovered the Bearcat Transportation System.

Sure, I’d seen the small white buses that drive around campus, but I was never really sure how they worked.

I found out when The News Record’s chief photographer Justin Tepe insisted I take the BTS on an assignment to east campus. We got on the shuttle right by the Campus Recreation Center and were dropped off right by University Hall.

It was easy, fast and convenient. And the best part: Virtually impossible to trip and fall. I was in love.

When we got back to the office, I looked up the schedule for the BTS. I had no idea of all the places I could actually go on the BTS. For example, the shuttles go all the way to Newport on the Levee on weekends.

From 7 p.m. until 3 a.m. the BTS makes a loop around Greater Cincinnati. From Calhoun Street to downtown to Highland Avenue, you can travel to almost anywhere for free.

And then there are all the places around the university.

During the weekdays the shuttle travels around uptown: from Ludlow to Ohio Street and Highland Avenue to Probasco Street.

On the University of Cincinnati’s Web site, the BTS page is easy to navigate and full of information. The maps and schedules detail the businesses near each stop and are really easy to read.

There are four routes that run Monday through Friday and three Thursday through Saturday.

After checking out the schedules, an endless amount of possibilities began to flash through my head. Especially with the cold winter weather setting in (along with my utter hatred for all physical activity), the idea of not having to walk as much is delightful.

Want to grab a cup of joe at the Rohs Street Café? Jump on the southwest route. In the mood for some saag at Apna Indian Restaurant? Go for a spin on the north route.

Then I was hooked.

What other transportation opportunities had I been missing out on?

Turns out lots of them.

Campus Transit System is very similar to the BTS, has three routes and has buses every eight to 10 minutes. The Main Street/Eden Avenue shuttle and the CCM Plaza/Eden Avenue shuttle operate from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday, year round. The CAS/Uptown campus shuttle runs 6:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Friday, during the school year.

Of course, there’s also UC*Metro, but I personally can’t see paying $40 for a threemonth pass. Mainly because I think buses are smelly and gross.

So, maybe I’ll actually venture outside my apartment and visit some new restaurants.

Or, at least I hopefully won’t face-plant anymore. Because the chipped tooth look is so 2009.

Approximately 1 in every 29 college students has a criminal record, according to a recent national survey.

The survey, conducted by MyBackgroundCheck.com, excluded juvenile records and arrest information that did not have a disposition, or final settlement. Nearly 14,000 students from 125 universities were included in the study.

The majority of the offenses were minor infractions. Driving violations were the most common conviction, added up to 60 percent of the students with a criminal record. Nearly 10 percent of the convictions were disorderly conduct and 8.8 percent were theft.

At the University of Cincinnati, the numbers are similar.

“It’s not worse here than anywhere else,” said Gene Ferrara, director of Public Safety.

UC students are 10 times less likely to have convictions in relation to more serious crimes like aggravated assault, murder or sexual assault, according to a 2008 study conducted at UC. The university has taken steps to provide security for students, said Daniel Cummins, director of Judicial Affairs.

“Here at UC, we do a very good job enforcing the safety and well-being of our students and faculty,” Cummins said. “Crime is nowhere near [as bad as] other urban campuses.”

Organizations like NightWalk, the Bearcat Transportation System and

Campus Watch give students safe methods of transportation.

But there are safety measures students should take as well, in order to stay safe on campus.

“Don’t be easy targets,” Cummins said. “Be conscious of the time of day or night and location. Don’t leave things in your vehicle.”

Cummins also suggested walking in groups when going anywhere on campus, especially at night.

A main cause of many driving and disorderly conduct violations are due to the influence of drugs or alcohol, Ferrara said.

“Besides the obvious depletion of motor functions, one of the most insidious side effects of consuming alcohol is that the person impaired can’t make the conscious realization that they are inebriated,” Ferrara said.

The UC Department of Public Safety partnered with the Cincinnati Police Department and launched a new program in September.

The program pairs UCPD officers and Cincinnati officers during certain shifts, which gives them access to more resources while on patrol.

“We believe that there will be nothing but good things to say about this new program,” Ferrara said.

However this doesn’t mean that students should not be mindful of their surroundings and active in ensuring their own safety.

“This community is yours,” Cummins said. “If you dislike something about it, then voice your opinion and put your thoughts into actions.”

Types of Student Convictions In a survey of 13,859 students, there were 747 individual types of criminal charges. They were separated into eight categories.

448 driving violations 71 disorderly conduct 66 theft 55 drug possessions 39 sexual abuse 30 assaults 20 fraud 18 child molestation

Fraternity spreads holiday cheer Ariel Cheung the news record

Boys and Girls Clubs in the Cincinnati area, and together, they have worked with 12,000 children in the past year.

The clubs work to help children “reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens,” according to their Web site.

For those interested in volunteering, visit www.bgcgc.org for more information.

As a way to spread holiday cheer to those in need, the University of Cincinnati’s professional business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi, visited the Marge Schott-Unnewehr Boys and Girls Club in Covington, Ky. Hope for Holidays is a new program Alpha Kappa Psi began as a way to give back to the community through service, said Tavis Bregel, president of the fraternity.

“Being a business fraternity, sometimes we get too focused on the professional world,” Bregel said. “So this was a nice way to give back during the holidays.”

The members of Alpha Kappa Psi donated more than $500 to buy presents for the children, which they delivered Thursday, Dec. 17.

“We wanted to make a better Christmas for the underprivileged Cincinnati youth,” said Bregel, a fifth-year industrial management student. “It was a really enjoyable event for all involved.”

For Stephen Newland, a fifth-year finance student, the best part was seeing the children’s reactions throughout the day.

“I heard one girl say it was the funnest day of her life,” Newland said.

The fraternity also played basketball with the children and set up stations where they could make crafts and bake cookies.

“I was happy the kids were happy,” Bregel said. “It was great to be able to share our talents and skills beyond the classroom and office.”

Giving the college students a chance to let loose was an unexpected benefit, Bregel said. “[It was great] seeing our members be able to have a little more fun and get out of their comfort zone to have fun with the kids,” Bregel said.

The event was originally supposed to be hosted on campus, but due to time constraints it was moved to the MSU Club.

Alpha Kappa Psi plans to host similar events in the future and expand them to include more children and partner with the MSU Club again in the spring.

The fraternity also works to give other organizations the chance to help out.

New plan to help graduates pay loans Michelle Tufano the news record

As the new year begins, many students and graduates must figure out a way to pay back student loans, an ordeal that could be made easier with the help of a new law.

Last July, Congress passed the Income-Based Repayment Plan, a program basing monthly payments on income and family size, in order to ease the hardships of paying back student debt.

Applying for the IBR program will limit students’ payments to approximately 15 percent of their incomes.

Senior Holly Dignan will graduate from the University of

Cincinnati in June with a degree in early childhood education.

“The IBR plan would definitely be something that interests me,” Dignan said. “I want to be able to pay off my loans as soon as possible; however, in reality 15 percent of my income is a reasonable payment that will be feasible with a teaching salary.”

The plan is strictly limited to federal student loans and will not include private loans.

Between the 2000-01 and 2006-07 academic years, an average of 60 percent of bachelor’s degree beneficiaries borrowed money in order to fund their college education, according to American Student Assistance and

The College Board. The average debt per recipient increased from $19,300 to $22,700.

Ashley Lurtey graduated from UC last December with a finance degree, and currently works for Great American Insurance.

Like many other students, Lurtey took out just enough in student loans to pay for tuition, which quickly racked up to approximately $40,000.

“I took out my loans to pay tuition, then put it in the back of my mind,” Lurtey said. “In the end, the loans become a lot more than you think because of interest. I do have a job, but it is overwhelming because I am basically paying two rents. It is a total reality check.”

living.newsrecord@gmail.com | 513.556.5913

Between the unfortunate status of the economy and the harsh job market, employees do not have strong job security.

Under the IBR plan, for qualified applicants, if someone loses his or her job or undergoes a pay cut, monthly payments will drop as a result.

“There is no way to predict the future,” Lurtey added. “The IBR plan seems to be a good program that students should utilize to secure their future financial stability.”

UC students who have graduated can visit studentaid.edu.gov to see if they qualify for the Income-Based Repayment Plan.

MARX’S

THEORY PETER MARX

Affairs won’t tarnish Tiger’s golf legacy Tiger Woods’ image has gone from squeaky clean to tarnished in just a couple short months.

But it’s really not that surprising if you think about it, and its definitely not the first time an athlete has cheated on his wife with multiple women.

I don’t condone adultery, and cheating on your spouse is just wrong, but the media coverage Woods has received has been over dramatized, over sensationalized and has been made into a much bigger deal than it should be.

I hear celebrity television heads, sports commentators and other members of the media acting like Woods was a perfect person before all of this happened.

“It’s just been unbelievable. I think this is the largest, biggest fall that I’ve ever seen for a celebrity, not just an athlete,” said Vanity Fair’s Buzz Bissinger on ESPN’s Outside The Lines Tuesday, Jan. 5. “I mean, who would have expected this from Tiger Woods?”

There is no doubt Woods’ image was of a person of great values and character, but there were signs.

Although you might have not seen it on television, Woods is known for swearing profusely after bad shots and has thrown a golf club into a crowd on at least one occasion. And hanging out with Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, known cheaters and gamblers, should have given fans a slight idea that Woods wasn’t as perfect as he was portrayed.

Nobody’s perfect, and many celebrities and athletes have done much worse of things and have come back better than ever — to the point where no one remembers or cares what happened them.

Bill Clinton, Kobe Bryant, David Letterman — the list goes on and on.

It’s not like Woods was doing drugs, killing people or committing crimes.

Sure, what Woods did was wrong, and he will have to pay for his mistakes.

Going through a divorce, losing custody of your children and losing millions of dollars in endorsements will be punishment enough.

Now I’m not saying the media shouldn’t cover Woods’ affairs, but there has to be a line that shouldn’t be crossed. The media is making this a big deal, but in a few years no one will remember Woods for his affairs away from the game, but rather for his accomplishments on the golf course.

Is Ray Lewis remembered for his double-murder trial, or for winning the Super Bowl?

Will Kobe Bryant be remembered for cheating on his wife and being accused of rape, or for winning four NBA titles?

When people look back on Woods 15 years from now, there is no way he’ll be remembered for his affairs, but rather for being one of the greatest golfers ever to play the game.

Although it may sound like it, I’m not kissing Woods’ ass or trying to make excuses for why the media and fans should leave him alone.

Rather, I’m just stating that the number of women he has slept with and how bad his image might look now, in the long run it will be insignificant.

For Woods to get back where he needs to be (on the golf course), he first needs to take care of a few things before he returns to the PGA Tour.

The first thing Woods needs to do is get a divorce.

Once that happens, he can start to concentrate on golf again and start to restore his image.

Woods will have to address the media at some point, but he shouldn’t do it before his divorce is final.

There is no need to fuel the fire now, and if Woods waits until after he gets a divorce, he can avoid a lot of the marriage and affair questions that will be sure to follow.

The coverage of Woods’ return to the tour will be a zoo, but that will be a good thing — golf needs as much coverage as it can get.

Lastly, just win.

For now, Woods will remain the Happy Gilmore of golf, but it won’t last, and in a couple years, you’ll remember him not for how many women he slept with, but rather how many major tournaments he won.

Do you think the media’s coverage of Tiger is fair?

Pirates make Bearcats walk plank Hunter Tickel the news record

The University of Cincinnati men’s basketball team dropped its second-straight Big East conference game Saturday, Jan. 9, this time getting swash-buckled by Seton Hall.

The Pirates prevailed at home 83-76, led by junior guard Jeremy Hazell and his game-high 33 points as Seton Hall (10-5, 1-3 Big East) won its first Big East game of the season.

Cincinnati’s Deonta Vaughn scored a season-high 20 points and was one of four Bearcats in double figures.

Hazell, the second-leading scorer in the league, shot 45 percent from the field and 8 of 9 from the free-throw line. He was the first player to score at least 30 points against the Bearcats since March 3, 2009.

The Bearcats (11-5, 2-2 Big East) led by as many as 12 points early in the first half, but Seton Hall used a 25-4 run spanning the final 11 minutes of the first half to lead 39-30 at halftime.

During the run, the Pirates committed just one turnover while Cincinnati gave away 12.

“We get every team down in the Big East early in the game and they always come back,” Vaughn said. “We’ve got to realize how we started winning in the beginning.”

The Bearcats committed 18 turnovers on the night, resulting in 24 Seton Hall points.

“Turnovers killed us,” said Cincinnati head coach Mick Cronin. “You can’t defend a live-ball turnover. They’ll run down and lay it in. That’s the game.”

Cincinnati came into Saturday’s game having won five of its last seven, while the Pirates were riding a four-game losing streak. With the

loss, the Bearcats missed an opportunity to win back-to-back conference road games for the first time in two years.

Vaughn scored 11 points in the final five minutes Saturday, and the Bearcats cut a 14-point Seton Hall lead down to just four with just more than one minute remaining, but the Pirates ended the game going 7 of 8 from the free-throw line.

The Bearcats have given up more than 78 points per game, and their opponents are shooting better than 50 percent in their last two Big East games. Despite Cincinnati shooting an average of 51 percent from the field and holding a 64-53 combined rebounding edge, the Bearcats are 0-2 in their last two conference outings.

Cincinnati will have another chance to steal a win on the road when they travel to historic Madison Square Garden to face the St. John’s Red Storm at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 13.

Hunter Tickel the news record

On a weekend where most of Cincinnati’s sports teams broke fans’ hearts, the University of Cincinnati women’s basketball team won its first Big East game of the season.

The Bearcats defeated St. John’s 70-60 at Fifth Third Arena Sunday, Jan. 10.

Kayla Roudebush led the team with 25 points on 9-of-11 shooting from the field and a career-high seven assists.

Roudebush’s 25 points were enough to move her into sole possession of 12th place among the school’s all-time scoring ranks.

“We executed our game plan, and saw they were not shooting well from the outside and forced them to shoot the ball from the outside in the first half,” said UC head coach Jamelle Elliott. “They had to make other plays when we collapsed on them inside. The key was we executed our game plan on the defensive and the offensive end.”

The Red Storm shot 42 percent in the game, and went just 7 of 17 from the free-throw line.

The Bearcats (8-7, 1-2 Big East) reached the 70-point mark for the first time since Nov. 15, 2009, in their season opener against Furman.

The Bearcats shot a season-high 50 percent from the field and 75 percent from the free-throw line, effectively closing out the game late.

“Just like against UConn we competed for 40 minutes and executed the game plan for 40 minutes,” Roudebush said.

The Bearcats started the game by getting the ball inside to forward Michelle Jones on several possessions. St. John’s led 6-5 before UC took the lead and didn’t let it go.

The Bearcats’ built a 14-point lead with 2:55 remaining, and led by 10 at the half.

“We know now that teams will come out and press us the whole game; five, 10, 20 minutes every practice we work on it,” Elliott said of beating the St. John’s press. “In the second half we only had three turnovers [compared] to 11 in the first half.”

St. John’s came out strong defensively in the second half, holding the Bearcats to no field goals for more than six minutes.

With just more than four minutes remaining, UC led by two when freshman Daress McClung knocked down a three-pointer. The Red Storm didn’t get any closer the rest of the game.

Cincinnati junior guard Carla Jacobs scored 10 second-half points.

“In the first half my intensity and energy was not there,” Jacobs said.

Next for the Bearcats is a road trip to Piscataway, N. J. to face the Scarlet Knights of Rutgers at 2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 16.

Cardinals leave UC in wake Sam Weinberg the news record

In a Big East rivalry match, the University of Cincinnati’s swimming and diving team lost to the Louisville Cardinals in a men’s and women’s dual meet Saturday, Jan. 9.

“Overall we knew coming in that [Louisville was] a very good team, and that if they’re not favored to win the Big East, they’re co-favorites,” said UC head coach Monty Hopkins.

The men’s team fell 208-91, while the women’s team lost 231-69.

Alhough the Cardinals are nationally ranked, the coaches believe that some members of the UC team were not swimming to their fullest potential.

“We [have] some people that aren’t swimming well,” Hopkins said. “[It] is first of all the coaches’ responsibility to figure out what do we have to do to help them get there, but it’s also their responsibility to do it.”

Despite the loss, the coaches are excited to have gauged their team’s ability against a Big East foe and to see where improvements need to be made.

“What we came out of the meet with is a little bit of encouragement and a little bit of reality to say here’s how we get better,” Hopkins said.

Of the 32 events, the Bearcats won only five, with the men’s team winning all five.

“I think we had some people that really did a great job of racing,” Hopkins said. “Clearly, some people who have the talent to be a Big East finalist came in and got the job done today.”

Cincinnati’s men’s team was led by senior Josh Schneider, who took first place in the men’s 50and 100-meter freestyle, and also won the men’s 100-meter butterfly.

“Josh has continued winning races against some good competition,” Hopkins said. “We [also] had some other guys that swam very well compared to

Junior Nathan Williams also had a good meet for the Bearcats, earning first-place finishes in the men’s 200- and 500-meter freestyle.

“The boys who stood out have continued to get better, and they will continue to get better,” said UC assistant coach Randi Vogel.

Next up, the Bearcats will travel to Oxford, Ohio, Friday, Jan. 15, to face the Miami Redhawks.

The Big East championships are also on the horizon for the Bearcats.

The diving championships start Friday, Feb. 12, while swimming begins its championships Wednesday, Feb. 17.

“This meet bases the work that we need to do in the next few weeks before Big East [championship play],” Vogel said. “I think everyone learned something from this week.”
