Streetcar could get help from Metro Nina linger the news record

The Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority (SORTA) could be teaming up with Cincinnati to plan the future of the streetcars.

The SORTA Board of Trustees, which operates the Cincinnati Metro bus transit system, voted May 18 to authorize the transit authority to partner with the city in planning and operating the proposed streetcar system.

The vote occurred in the wake of Cincinnati City Council approving more than $66 million in local bonds and grants for the streetcar project.

“It just makes sense,” said Melody Sawyer Richardson, chair of the SORTA board. “SORTA will bring extensive transit expertise and understanding to the project, as we work with the city and the community to develop the best possible streetcar operating plan.”

Possible advantages from the partnership with the city include SORTA assisting in offsetting federal transit

funding for the streetcar project and coordinating the streetcar plan with current Metro bus service to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

“The streetcar is a city economic development tool of regional importance,” Richardson said. “But it’s also a transportation mode that must be integrated with current transit service and operated efficiently and effectively.”

Metro’s proposed uptown transit center could also be developed into a transportation hub for the streetcar, uptown shuttles and Metro service.

The planned system would have streetcar routes running along Vine, Calhoun and McMillan streets in Uptown.

The city is glad to use SORTA’s transportation expertise to plan for the streetcar project’s long-term sustainability, said Milton Dohoney Jr., Cincinnati city manager.

The decision by SORTA is subject to mutually agreeing with the city on an operating plan for the streetcars and working see sorta | page 4

Lab animal testing

Two colleges within the University of Cincinnati will welcome new deans this July.

Five of the 16 colleges at UC have interim deans: Raymond Walters College, Clermont College, the College of Business, the College-Conservatory of Music and School of Social Work.

Outgoing Provost Anthony Perzigian — who commends the interim deans on their admirable performance — claims search gregory committees did sojka not appoint fulltime replacements because of UC’s academic restructuring.

“There hasn’t been much change in leadership,” Perzigian said, reiterating that the seemingly large amount of incoming deans at UC is normal.

UC’s Board of Trustees approved Raymond Walters College and Clermont College’s full-time deans Tuesday, May 25. see deans | page 4

UC among schools yet to sign Humane Society policy jason garrison the news record

The University of Cincinnati is among many Ohio schools yet to sign a new policy written by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) to end animal suffering in laboratory experiments.

The HSUS has sent the new policy to more than 600 institutions. So far, only 55 have agreed to its terms.

“It is a request to them that they adopt their own internal policy that would not allow unrelieved suffering of animals,” said Kathleen Conlee, director of program management with the HSUS.

No allegations have been made against UC, but the university has not responded to the HSUS new policy or repeated follow-ups, Conlee said.

UC received the new agreement in September 2009 and they have not formally responded which leads the HSUS to believe that UC is failing to adopt the policy, Conlee said.

Officials from UC’s research department could not be reached for comment, but Sandra Degen, UC vice president of research, issued a statement regarding the claims.

“The University of Cincinnati has a host of measures to ensure humane animal care,” Degen said. “UC does fully comply with

all federal laws, regulations and guidelines concerning animal care and use. The UC Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) thoroughly reviews all protocols in an effort to eliminate issues of severe pain or distress.”

The HSUS does not actually have any sort of power or jurisdiction, as a political action committee, over the treatment of animals by any university or institution. By law, UC’s research must be in compliance with rules set by a division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Graduate student workshop in Texas was ‘magical’ experience ariel cheung the news record

ready, set, read Shelves are lined with all types of fiction in one of the bookstores, Booked Up, in Archer City, Texas.

ARCHER CITY, TEXAS — Archer City, Texas, is a living, breathing contradiction.

The eclectic combination of small town, Southern charm and love of literature makes for an experience unlike any other.

“It’s one of the most cultured places I’ve ever been, with all the bookstores,” said Erica Dawson, a University of Cincinnati doctoral student in poetry. “I think it’s just an amazing place and the fact that so many of us have started writing things since we’ve been here is really telling of the magic, creative air.”

Dawson was a participant in a creative writing retreat that took place in Archer City May 18 through 24. Graduate students from UC and the City College of New York were invited to take part in the workshop — the first to feature a combination of the two schools.

The workshop began as a way for small-town high school students to explore the possibilities of creative writing as a career.

Then high school teacher Fred Reynolds wanted the students to see that the profession was an option for them.

“I’m from this part of the country and I was friends with [Archer City local and writer] Larry McMurtry,” Reynolds said.

“We put together, for a 10-year period, a summer camp program for high school kids in this part of the country who grew up in little towns.”

Once Reynolds began work at CCNY, he revamped the program for graduate students.

“After doing it for 10 years, it got to the point we needed to transition to something else,” Reynolds said. “There are lots of graduate programs in writing around the country that have a retreat program to do kind of a residential writing workshop. UC is a school that didn’t have one of those.”

Reynolds worked with Greg Williams at

CCNY until Williams became the new UC president in fall 2009. Williams soon brought Reynolds to Cincinnati to fill the newly created executive vice president position.

Reynolds began working at UC Feb. 1 and wanted his Archer City workshop to become part of his new school, but also wanted it to remain at CCNY. “So this was an obvious thing to do and turn it into a feature of the UC and CCNY writing programs,” Reynolds said.

Selecting the students for the trip was also a challenge, as Reynolds, for the first time, did not know students from either school.

“It was very different for me this time because I came to UC so abruptly,” Reynolds said. “I really had to rely on Russell Durst, as chair of the English department, to put feelers out for people to go on the first retreat.”

While Linsey Abrams of CCNY has been the leader of the workshop for several years, the 2010 trip made room for a UC instructor as well. Assistant professor of creative writing Leah Stewart was the perfect fit.

“I think it worked out really well,” Stewart said. “This was a little more informal than something you’d get at school.”

During the workshop sessions of the trip, participants read selections of their work and open discussions followed. see texas | page 4

tournament as they swept Notre Dame, while WVU took two of three against Villanova, knocking the Fighting Irish out and allowing WVU to slip in.

No. 3 Pittsburgh is scheduled to take on No. 6 Rutgers in the opening game of the tournament with an at-large bid on the line for the Panthers.

The final first round game has No. 4 St. John’s against No. 5 South Florida. Both teams had identical regular season Big East records, but St. John’s captured the

regular-season series against the Bulls.

With a Cats victory, they will take on the winner of the Pitt/ Rutgers match-up Thursday, May 27. With a loss they will face the loser of that game on the same day.

Cleary feels his team’s pitching is the key to his team making a run.

“We must pitch well. It’s really tough for us to overcome a bad pitching performance,” Cleary said.

“Most of the time we don’t score enough, but the way we have pitched lately, scoring four to five runs gives us a chance.”

Cady Short-Thompson has been appointed dean for Raymond Walters College and Gregory Sojka has been appointed dean of Clermont College.

There are talks of the new dean of College of Business being appointed in the near future, though it is too soon for anyone to be named, Perzigian said.

The current interim dean of Raymond Walters, Donald O’Meara, believes incoming dean Sojka will do a great job and is happy to see him take the position.

O’Meara has taken his job very seriously and, in his duties, has

from provost | page 1

never considered himself an interim dean.

Sojka comes from the University of Rio Grande, where he served as provost and vice president for academic affairs from 1994 through 2006 and president from 2006 through 2008.

Short-Thompson, a lifelong resident of Wyoming, Ohio, will be coming to UC from Northern Kentucky University where she currently serves as chair of the Communication Department.

Both Sojka and ShortThompson’s positions are effective July 1.

Atlanta and Chuck Staben, provost and vice president for academic affairs at the University of South Dakota – will take questions from UC undergraduates regarding their candidacy to replace retiring UC Provost Anthony Perzigian.

The schedule for the remaining meetings with candidates is from 11:35 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., June 2, in Room 407 of Teacher’s College; 4:05 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., June 7, in Room 407 of Teacher’s College and 11:35 a.m. to 12:15 p.m., June 9, in Room 310 of University Pavilion.

“I think it’s always good, especially when you get further along with your Ph.D. … to get with a bunch of writers and be able to talk about writing,” Dawson said. “In the last half of your Ph.D., it becomes very solitary, so it was nice to be in a workshop environment again.”

But the workshops were only a small part of the Archer City experience. For many of the participants, the city itself was a huge part of the trip.

Larry McMurtry, an Archer City native and author of “Lonesome Dove,” “The Last Picture Show” and co-screenwriter of “Brokeback Mountain,” redefined his city in a way that changed it forever. After purchasing several buildings on the main streets, McMurtry turned them into bookstores. The four Booked Up stores feature rare and old books, including many first editions and hard-to-find copies.

“I found things that are like paradise to me,” Dawson said. “Being in those bookstores was kind of like my version of heaven. They have everything: contemporary fiction, old fiction, art books, dance books, music books. It was a little overwhelming actually.”

The students were given full access to the bookstores, two of which were open 24 hours

per day exclusively for workshop participants.

“I really liked the fact that, as an insomniac, I could just go in the middle of the night to two of the bookstores and not be worried at all about watching my back and just sort of run around,” Dawson said.

The opportunity to see the thousands of books was a unique experience for the participants as well.

“They’re huge buildings with floor-toceiling books,” Stewart said. “And for me, that was like going to church, because I’ve always loved books and when you actually work as a writer and you work as a teacher, you rarely get moments where you’re reminded of your pure love of books and I think that’s what I felt when I saw, not only the sheer volume of books, but the span of time that they encompass. It puts your own experience in perspective.”

The four bookstores are a peek into the soul of Archer City. The city has a small-town feel — the majority of the city is focused between two highway roads, the biggest store is a Dollar General and the one restaurant, the Wildcat, sits directly across from the Spur Hotel, where the workshop took place.

The entire Spur Hotel and its 12 rooms

research, said there are isolated incidents in which animals are treated cruelly, but those incidents are few and far between.

“I know that the vast majority of universities do all that they can to reduce any amount of pain or suffering that animals go through in some research,” McKellips said. “University of Cincinnati historically has had just an incredible track record as far as improving the lives of animals.”

McKellips was impressed with one area of UC’s research: a hearing lab

were rented out for the workshop. For meals, Reynolds cooked for the students or sent them to the Wildcat.

The students also got the chance to interact with Archer City locals. Saturday, May 22, the local volunteer fire departments participated in a competition as part of a day-long schedule of fundraising activities. The day also included a Texas-style barbeque and dance night at the Legion hall.

“We got a chance to really meet the people who live here and experience what it’s like to be an Archer City native,” said Julianne Lynch, a UC doctoral student in fiction. “It’s a town a lot of people don’t know about but there are a lot of great things here.”

The Reynolds Archer City experience also featured field trips between workshop sessions. Reynolds organized a visit to McMurtry’s home on the last day of the trip, where students were given the opportunity to look around the house.

“I think the high point for me was Larry McMurtry’s house,” said Suzanne Warren, a UC doctoral student in fiction. “It was just kind of a magical place filled with books and photos and artifacts from his travels.”

Another highlight of the experience was

in which rescued greyhounds from race tracks with hearing loss are given implants to help their hearing before they are sent out for adoption.

“If you have an animal who’s suffering so badly that they can’t reach their food and water, as an example, that would be poor welfare and, therefore, poor science,” Conlee said.

“So if an animal is suffering, what kind of information are you getting from using that animal? Poor information.

So to us, this has a positive impact on science, not a negative one.”

“create the greatest event in the university’s history,” Humes said.

Humes and former chair of the Board of Trustees H.C. Buck Niehoff presented the proposal, which will be funded entirely by outside sources.

Humes acknowledged the scope of the project, planning and general struggles involved in developing the event.

“My wife has recommended doubling the insurance policy,” he said.

the chance to interact with the CCNY students, Dawson said.

“I think we blended seamlessly right from the beginning,” Dawson said. “From a cultural standpoint, it’s been amazing to see the native New Yorkers in a small town or going to a WalMart for the first time.”

Overall, the experience has proved to be utterly unforgettable for the participants.

“It’s amazing that Fred has been able to still continue this for the CCNY students but also bring it to the English department at UC,” Dawson said. “It’s sort of a lifetime thing to be able to come to a place like this for free and to be able to be in a place where an amazing book [and movie] was set and to be able to watch the movie and know the things in the movie are outside. I don’t see how that’s ever going to happen again.”

As for Reynolds, visits to Archer City will always be the highlights of his busy schedule.

“I just love everything about Archer City,” Reynolds said. “It’s so book oriented and so art oriented; ideas oriented and movie oriented.

It’s a place where I can offer something unique to the people I care about. I can bring them to a little town in Texas that’s one big, gigantic bookstore.”

THE

FASHION

DUNGJEN taylor dungjen

Workouts? No thanks; dress yourself thin The advice and suggestions that students can get on working out from different instructors at the Campus Recreation Center is great and usually pretty simple. But what if there was an alternative, or at least something to help camouflage, while you’re on your way to tightening and toning.

Clothing isn’t just “cover up.”

The right clothes draw attention to your best features and hide anything you’re uncomfortable with. From head to toe, you can dress yourself 10 pounds thinner.

The first, most obvious and most broken rule: Make sure your clothes are the right size.

Women trick themselves into believing that bigger, baggier clothing will hide everything they want hidden and will make them look smaller. In reality, though, the opposite is true. It makes you look bigger and more unkempt.

Top Heavy It’s best to start from the inside out. The most basic and necessary layer? Underwear.

Start with a bra that fits and has underwire to lift the girls up and out – you’ll be amazed how much of a difference it makes.

There are experts in this. Go have a proper fitting.

Find a shirt that is fitted just under your breasts. It will accent the most narrow part of your body, making your upper half look thinner. Make sure the shirt then skims over your belly, and is not fitted.

To make your arms look slimmer, opt for a loose sleeve.

Also, avoid sleeves that end at the widest part of your arm, especially if the color contrasts your skin color.

Bottom Ballast Again, start from the inside out. They might not be the sexiest of undies, but a pair with heavy elastic that comes up to the ribcage can smooth out and hold in.

To minimize your hips, opt for bootcut denim in a dark wash.

In the denim, avoid whiskering — shredded fibers — on the thighs. It only highlights the largest parts of your lower half.

Take it one step further and wear a pair of pumps with your denim to help elongate your legs.

Pencil skirts are always in and, lucky for us, always helpful.

A shapely pencil skirt that shows curves and still narrows your lower half will do all sorts of good things for your body (and booty).

Foot Patrol Depending on the style of shoes, there are about 1 billion different rules or suggestions.

Wear boots that are tall enough to go over your calves.

Backless shoes make ankles look thinner and, thus, your legs more shapely.

Wear taller pumps (so long as you can still walk). Kitten heels – the very short, thin heel that curves in from the back of the ankle — make legs look stumpy.

Shoes with a little bit of toe cleavage are ideal, too. The more skin you show, the longer your legs will look.

Shoes with a T-strap or in the Mary Jane style were probably really cute as a child, but now, aren’t doing anyone any favors.

Avoid both if possible.

If you’re not wearing tights or pantyhose, wear nude heels.

Your legs will look like they go on for days.

The Little Extras I never really thought accessories could make that much of a difference until I started to experiment.

- Earrings: If you have a wide neck, avoid studs and, instead, go for a chandelier or dangle style.

- Bracelets: Try finding balance by rocking more delicate bracelets. Chunky jewelry is fun, but wearing it all the time can make your body look heavier.

- Rings: The size of your fingers and hands will determine how big your rings should be. A good rule is to not wear a ring that takes up more than half of the space from your palm to your first knuckle. Big rings on small hands will only make hands look smaller.

The Big Picture Wear red. Red highlights and reflects light so you look more curvaceous and bodacious.

Find a sassy wrap dress.

It doesn’t sound that hard, now does it? Get on with your workouts – whether they’re something you cook up at the Rec or a tutorial from Richard Simmons – try on some slimming clothing, and you’ll be looking better than ever. Don’t worry, you can thank me later.

From the first to the last week of classes, it is impossible to make it to every event on and around campus. The school makes a mission of providing scholastic and educational events, health and wellness events and even morale- (supposedly revenue-) boosting events. Then there are student groups, which fill in all the gaps with weekly meetings and amusing happenings. And that’s on top of the classes we are actually paying to be here for.

Far be it for me to discourage any of this. In fact, it is the only time in your life this opportunity will exist, so take advantage of it. But keep in mind one thing: as many events and attractions as the university offers, it is only a school. There is an entire city, state, region, country and world beyond the bounds of Clifton, MLK, Jefferson and Calhoun.

For example, Northside (take a left on Ludlow from Clifton and keep going) was featured in The New York Times not long ago as a happening Cincinnati neighborhood. Between bars, shops and street art, it’s worth a look and might become a little more than that — there’s a sizable UC population there. Hyde Park and Mariemont are just a little further away, and both offer retail squares and cute homes with a few more trees and a little less edge.

It’s not a far walk or ride downtown, either,

where you’ll find the Purple People Bridge, a free sprayground scheduled to open this weekend at Sawyer Point, Findlay Market) which is at its best between 9 a.m. and noon on a Saturday both for food and people watching), and Park and Vine for crazy sustainable products that you never knew existed.

While you’re down there, eat something — practically anything is good — from the Alabama Fish shop to Scotti’s Italian (pricey, but incredibly worth it) to Arnold’s Bar, the oldest continuously operating bar in Cincinnati, complete with a bathtub used to brew moonshine during prohibition.

Then there’s Music Hall and the Aronoff Center, which together house most of the high-ticket Cincinnati performing arts events. Nearby, the Cincinnati Contemporary Arts Center has always been a bit of a scandal, mostly because they are a liberal organization in a conservative town that exhibits things like nude photographs suggesting male homosexuality in the late 1980s (leading to an unsuccessful suit on the grounds of pandering obscenity). Currently the content is slightly less controversial, but the new building might be. It’s the first American work of star-chitect Zaha Hadid, one of the few famous females in the industry.

Slightly less fancy, but just as excellent, are small scenes like Main Street, a gallery and outof-the-main theatre district in Over-the-Rhine.

The upcoming Fringe Festival will have a number of venues in this area offering avant-garde performance art in early June. Or my personal favorite, Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, which operates out of a small black-box theater at Race and Garfield and offers free shows in the parks over the summer.

The Cincinnati Parks is a storied and pretty spectacular series of spaces. Burnet Woods offers fishing and canoeing on select weekends in the fall; if you wander over and check the nature center windows you can find all sorts of events posted.

If you haven’t made it to Eden, Ault or Mt. Storm Park, they are all within a few miles of campus and well worth the trip. Eden Park houses an art museum, three ponds, bandstand, conservatory and the Playhouse in the Park, an award-winning theater. Seriously, go.

The Hamilton County Parks system is a step larger, and great if you’re into more than just a light walk around the picnic grounds. Glenwood Gardens, Winton Woods, Sharon Woods, Armleder Park and Embshoff Woods aren’t too far afield (and for the adventurous among you, the bus system will get you close).

So while Cincinnati itself won’t be sending you a Facebook invite, nor setting up a Blackboard account or asking you to join its listserv, take a serious look around this city.You’ll be surprised what you find.

Sex scandals plague politics, get over it German Lopez

One of these days I’m going to go into McDonald’s, and when the cashier asks me for my order I’m going to start quizzing him: “Before I order, tell me about yourself. Are you married? Have you ever cheated on your wife? Have you ever done it with a dude? Did you ever serve in the military? Are you a Muslim?”

If any of the answers showed a hint of dishonesty or betrayed my horrendously biased version of “traditional American values,” I would leave.

There is no way I’m eating at an establishment that lacks so much integrity.

Or not. That’s ridiculous. How does a cashier’s sexual, marital or military record have any relevance to McDonald’s food? It doesn’t. I don’t go to McDonald’s to be waited on by Mother Teresa, I go to McDonald’s to eat greasy food that I’ll feel guilty about later.

It’s the same thing when I’m reading a book or watching a movie. I don’t think about Ernest Hemingway’s three divorces and suicide when I read “The Old Man and the Sea.” I don’t worry that Woody Allen has a strange interest in young girls when I watch “Manhattan.” And I couldn’t care less as to why Vincent Van Gogh cut his ear off when I’m looking at “Starry Night.”

Why do Americans seem so interested in what politicians do? The important thing with politicians is their politics, meaning how they’ve voted and how they’ll vote on important issues. Their sex lives, military records, marriages

and affairs are completely unrelated to that.

If Milford Mayor Amy Brewer is having an affair I don’t care; it has no relevance on her political position. I also don’t care about former Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) being gay or Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) lying about his military record — again, those things have no impact on the two men’s actual politics.

And I can’t understand why anyone would care. If the idea is that these politicians are supposed to be role models … that is just scary. Seriously, these are politicians. These people manipulate groups of people for a living. These are people who accept bribes — sorry, campaign donations — on a daily basis.

If these politicians are role models to anyone, then child services should be knocking on some extra doors.

I will admit this is a hard pill to swallow. Saying that politicians should be able to be dishonest isn’t something that’s going to win me awards. But at McDonald’s, I go in demanding somewhat-OK, notso-edible food. And with politicians, I should be demanding politics I can stand by and agree with — things that will actually make a long-term difference when their terms end.

We might not have the perfect people in office, but that’s not really possible in such an inherently corrupt system anyway. So it’s time to cut the fluff part out of American politics, then maybe America can start seeing some real, substantive solutions to major issues.

Dayes adds eight in 2010 class Hunter tickel the news record

Video games and sports: meant to be

For as long as there have been video games, there have been sports video games.

Sure, Pong wasn’t the best representation of table tennis, but the technology was young and primitive. Video games have come a long way since then, but one thing remains unchanged: sports video games are some of the most popular games of all time.

Titles like Madden, FIFA, NBA 2K10 and Electronic Arts’ college football games can give you a pretty realistic look into the sporting world, but it’s the unrealistic, outlandish, over-thetop sports games that always seem to be more fun.

The following eight titles have survived the test of time and are legends of the gaming world. They’re also my personal favorites.

Duck Hunt (Nintendo Entertainment System) — You want unrealistic? When was the last time you ever saw a hunter going after aquatic birds with an orange pistol?

This oldie but a goodie was one of the first video games I ever played. Games don’t get much simpler than this: you see duck, you shoot duck. And if you were feeling humane or looking for an additional challenge, there were always the clay pigeons you could go after, too.

Mario Kart 64 (Nintendo 64) — The game that made everyone hate banana peels, lightning bolts and those damn blue shells.

An installment of the Mario Kart series has appeared on every Nintendo console since the Super Nintendo, but the N64 edition rises above its brethren and remains one of Nintendo’s all-time greats.

NFL Blitz (N64) — When it comes to unrealistic sports games, nothing gets more unrealistic than NFL Blitz, the game that made 30-yard gains seem like a breeze.

Combining NFL football with wrestling-inspired tackling was a match made in video game heaven in the 1990s.

There wasn’t anything more entertaining than sacking Troy Aikman with a German suplex before giving him the business with an elbow or leg drop once he was down.

The Blitz series tailed off with the dawn of the new millennium and later installments of the series could never live up to the original. But that’s OK. Any way you look at it, NFL Blitz was “Da Bomb.”

NHL Hitz 2002 (Nintendo GameCube) — Needless to say, if you were a fan of NFL Blitz, NHL Hitz was right up your alley.

The three-on-three gameplay made for a wide-open playing experience and the unlimited hard hitting was a great way to take out some built up frustration.

Mario Tennis (N64) — Forget Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon, Mario Tennis is still the best place to be for matches of epic proportions.

Mario Tennis boasts easyto-learn, difficult-to-master controls and never gets old.

The N64 controller had an excessive amount of buttons for its time, but Mario Tennis kept things simple by employing only the joystick and two main buttons during gameplay. This underappreciated gem of a game will always hold a special place in my heart, right alongside …

Mario Golf (N64) — Tiger Woods has become synomymous with golf video games, but I’d rather hit the links with the Italian plumber and his pals any day.

A variety of courses and gameplay modes makes Mario Golf playable for hours on end and makes golf fun for those of us terrible at the game in real life. Before the sport became a perfect fit for the Nintendo Wii, Mario Golf made it fun for everyone on the N64.

NBA Hangtime (Sega Genesis) — Boom shakalaka!

Before EA and 2K Sports were battling for video game basketball supremacy, Midway was the king of the court.

Like NBA Jam before it, NBA Hangtime was available on a number of consoles as well as in your local arcades. NBA Jam might be more loved by fans, but Hangtime was always my cup of tea. The reason? Creating players. The game didn’t include some of basketball’s greatest names (Jordan, Shaq, Barkley) anyway, so playing as a wolf man or a guy with a huge basketball for a head was the way to go.

FILE ART | the news record

fancy footwork Senior mid-fielder Mark Konitsch dribbles past a defender during UC’s win against Xavier Sept. 30.

University of Cincinnati men’s head soccer coach Hylton Dayes named eight players who will join the team for the 2010 season Friday, May 21.

“I think [the recruiting class] has the qualities to be special, because it has the right amount of transfers and freshmen players with the potential to contribute right away,” Dayes said.

The class includes six transfers, three hometown players and three foreign players.

Central mid-fielder Danny Dwyer and defender Mike Brizzi — both tri-state players — played for Houston Baptist University and Cincinnati State Technical and Community College last year, respectively.

Dwyer and Brizzi were both heavily recruited out of high school, but chose to take different paths before eventually committing to UC. “I think Danny [Dwyer] wanted an opportunity to go away,” Dayes said. “He played

a lot, but he felt he needed to be closer to home. I think he has matured some.”

Dwyer appeared in all 15 team matches at Houston Baptist and started in 14. He was a secondteam all-conference selection.

Meanwhile Brizzi fine-tuned his game locally at Cincinnati State. He started every game, was named team captain and was honored with first-team all-conference and second-team all-region recognition.

“I think [Brizzi] had an opportunity to play for Cincinnati State, did well and realized, ‘I want to challenge myself and see if I can play at UC in the Big East,’ ” Dayes said.

The two local talents are just 19 years old, but have already received significant playing time at the college level.

“Both guys bring experience to the table, but also are young enough where they still have a ways to go in their overall development,” Dayes said.

Andre Sharpe was invited to the Jamaican U-17 national team camp and made 13 starts

last year as a freshman at Graceland University.

Dayes described Sharpe as hard working and a playmaker in the midfield with the ability to score goals.

Shamar Shelton appeared for the Jamacian U-20 national team and Roger Thompson from Ontario is another transfer. Shelton is known for his quickness, creativity and deadly left foot, while Thompson is more of an athletic player with size and quickness, Dayes said.

“They are all talented players,” Dayes said. “They all will fit in with our philosophy and with our university. They can contribute right away.”

Transfer Danny Mortemore from Western Michigan and freshmen Jeff Addis and Michael Millayround out the list of recruits.

“We have good returning core,” Dayes said. “I think the combination is really what is going to make it work for us.

Those guys are really going to push for playing time.”

Cats meet UConn in round one Ian Johnson | the news record

regular season finale Kiley Jones, Cory Hough, Braden Kline and Brian Sand look on to watch UC defeat Gergetown 10-0 May 21.

TOM SKEEN the news record

The seventh-seeded University of Cincinnati baseball team is set to play the No. 2-seeded and No. 19-ranked University of Connecticut in the first round of the Big East tournament Wednesday, May 26, at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Florida.

It is the Bearcats fourth trip to the Big East tournament in the past five years.

The Cats enter the tournament on a four-game winning streak in which they scored 28 runs and recorded their first shutout of the season.

“We are playing as well as we’ve played all year,” said UC head coach Brian Cleary.

“We’ve won four in a row, but the tournament is a challenge to go through. It requires depth, good pitching and you can’t afford to have an off day.”

In what could be the deepest Big East tournament since Cincinnati joined the conference in 2005, the University of Louisville captured the league title and No. 1 seed on the final weekend of the regular season for the second year in a row.

Louisville and UConn are both ranked inside the USA Today Top-25, while the third-seeded Pittsburgh Panthers are just

outside the Top 25, but are still alive for an at-large bid to the College Baseball World Series.

“This might be the strongest Big East since we’ve been here,” Cleary said. “The league is full of really good coaches and players.”

The Bearcats (29-27, 13-14 Big East) lost two of three to Connecticut in their regular season matchup May 8 through May 9, but received great pitching from freshman Andrew Strenge to capture a 3-2 victory in game three of the series.

With a well-rested pitching staff and hot bats, coach Cleary knows his team must be perfect to have a chance to upset the Huskies.

“They are the best we’ve played [this season],” Cleary said. “They have speed, power and pitching and are very well-balanced. We must have no mistakes, we must be clean.”

The Huskies (43-12, 20-6 Big East) come in as one of two teams in the conference to rank in the top four of the conference in both hitting and ERA. UConn has a team batting average of .317 and an ERA of 3.87.

Other first-round match-ups include No. 1 Louisville taking on No. 8 West Virginia University. Louisville helped

King James: Will he stay or will he go?

JAMES LEAVING FOR BIG APPLE

LEBRON WILL STAY, CAVS BEST OPTION

Peter Marx the news record

sam Weinberg the news record

There is no chance LeBron James will remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers next season.

James had several opportunities to bring an NBA championship to Cleveland, but let’s face it — it’s just not going to happen.

With a chance to team up with several other all-star caliber players and play in a big city, LeBron is sure to leave his hometown of Akron, Ohio, for greener pastures.

Yes, he could make more money if he stays with Cleveland, but the difference is not that significant and the money he could make from endorsement deals playing in a major city would far outweigh the difference in his contract.

But, it’s not about the money — it’s about winning championships.

Look what Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen have accomplished with the Boston Celtics.

James has a chance to start over and possibly play with Dwanye Wade, Chris Bosh, Amare Stoudemire, Dirk Nowitzki, Michael Redd or Joe Johnson. There is even a chance a team could sign three of those players.

James has too many attractive options in front of him. Why stay with a team that has little room to improve?

At the end of the day, James will come to his senses and sign with the New York Knicks. The Knicks only have only $17 million on the books next season ($85 million this season) and could sign three max-contract players.

Despite another disappointing ending in the NBA playoffs, LeBron James will still be a Cleveland Cavalier next season.

The rumors are, he will go to either Chicago or New York, but that’s not going to happen — he has too many reasons to stay in Cleveland.

First, everyone knows he has a say in the moves Cleveland makes. He lobbied for the Cavs to pick up Mo Williams and Antawn Jamison and he got them. Now that Mike Brown is gone he can virtually pick whatever coach he wants.

There’s also more money to be made in Cleveland. King James has said that he wants to become a billion-dollar athlete and Cleveland can offer him the largest salary.

Yeah, he might make some of that up with endorsement bucks he would get in New York, but he still would be pulling more money in Cleveland.

The other thing James wants is an NBA ring.

Despite having a bad run in the playoffs, the Cavs still finished the regular season with the best NBA record and are still a championship-caliber team. The Bulls are not quite at that level yet and the Knicks literally have no talent to back James up.

With Shaquille O’Neal leaving the Cavs could also have some cap space to bring in a big-name star like Dwayne Wade or Chris Bosh.

James loves Ohio too much to just pack up and leave. He has been lighting up courts in Ohio his entire life and he’s not about to stop now.
