Task force drafts diversity plan james sprague | News Editor

A University of Cincinnati task force presented a draft Wednesday to UC President Greg Williams for a plan to increase diversity on campus.

The draft, composed by members of the President’s Diversity Council — created in 2006 by former UC president Nancy Zimpher — outlines strategies for the university to increase the diversity of applicants, the student population and improve retention and graduation rates among minority students.

The plan comes in the wake of recent media attention that highlights the lowest enrollment of black students at UC since the 200001 academic year, despite a record overall enrollment for 2010-11.

Members of the Diversity Plan Task Force and all others who have worked diligently to create this plan are commended for their work.

“The task force’s work resulted in a strategy and action plan for promoting diversity that integrates ongoing efforts and existing institutional structure to encourage a campus environment that embraces diversity and inclusion as a core value,” said Louis Billonis,

dean of UC’s College of Law and chair of the diversity council.

Among the measures to increase recruitment proposed in the plan are to heighten need-based scholarship funding for minority students, with special attention on those in STEMM — Science, Technology, Engineering, Math and Medicine — majors, increasing the ability of the Office of Admissions to recruit minority students and strengthening college preparatory programs at local schools in order to raise the academic standards of students.

The plan also offers strategies to assist in the admission of minority students, such as the possibility of making the ACT and SAT college entrance exams optional for students with a 3.0 grade point average.

The report also recommends

revising the university’s budget to allocate more funding for academic resources at branch campuses — Raymond Walters college and Clermont college — in order to retain and improve degree completion for minority students, many who were referred to branch campuses due to the closure of the Center for Access and Transition on Uptown Campus last June.

“Members of the Diversity Plan Task Force and all others who have worked diligently to create this plan are commended for their work,” said Mitchel Livingston, chief diversity officer at UC. “It is a milestone achievement.”

President Williams and university governance groups will examine the plan before it is presented for review to the UC Board of Trustees.

A University of Cincinnati student having an asthma attack was arrested Wednesday for fighting with a pharmacy employee while attempting to get an inhaler.

Daniel Bay, 18, was arrested at the Corryville Walgreen’s for allegedly biting an employee during an altercation concerning an asthma inhaler. Bay was attempting to buy the inhaler to alleviate the asthma attack he was having at the time.

The purchase of the inhaler was delayed due to difficulties with Bay’s health insurance card, leading to Bay taking the inhaler from the pharmacist.

A security guard allegedly tackled Bay, daniel bay aggravating his asthma attack and resulting in Bay biting the guard.

Bay was arrested and charged with robbery for taking the inhaler. Paramedics treated him for the asthma attack before he was jailed at the Hamilton County Justice Center.

His bond was set for $10,000 and the court is requiring Bay be tested for communicable diseases that he might have passed to the security guard.

The owner of Clifton Heights coffee shop and hotspot Baba Budan’s Bearcat Café on West McMillan Street is currently in litigation with the University of Cincinnati for alleged trademark infringement.

UC is suing Tony Hamburg, 44, of White Oak, Ohio, the owner and proprietor of the café and bar in federal court for the use of “Bearcat Café” in its name. The lawsuit is being brought out of the UC’s Trademarks and Licensing Office, which oversees intellectual property.

The lawsuit was filed March 23, but the use of the name is nothing new, Hamburg said.

“We have been using the name ever since the original Baba [Budan’s] moved locations,” Hamburg said.

The original restaurant was closed down and removed from the Calhoun Street strip after eminent domain reclaimed the land in 2004. The café then relocated to what is now its current location at the intersection of Clifton Avenue and 239 W. McMillan St. in 2005.

The building Baba Budan’s moved into was named The Bearcat Café previously, and the owners bought the name that was registered in 1959, Hamburg said.

“We have been using it [in] our name ever since,” Hamburg said.

Despite the long history of the use of the name, UC officials say that doesn’t make it acceptable.

Three graduate programs in the University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning earned national rankings in a recent survey.

UC’s graduate industrial design program was ranked sixth in the nation, ahead of schools like Cranbrook Academy of Art, California College of the Arts, Rochester Institute of Technology, Arizona State University and the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, according to U.S. News & World Report’s 2012 rankings of graduate programs.

“I’m pleased to know that our program has been recognized in this way,” said Denise Burge, associate professor of fine arts at DAAP. “It’s a program that I have no problem being a cheerleader for. Cincinnati is a vibrant creative community, and it’s very possible to thrive professionally as an artist here.”

Some DAAP students, however, were surprised to hear that UC is so highly ranked.

“Even though I know DAAP

programs and what is expected, so to think that what we have is some of the best out there, is an eye-opener as to how fortunate we really are. I am definitely going to grad school, but for art therapy, which is usually a separate program from MFA.” UC’s graduate graphic design program was ranked 12th in the nation. The program was ranked alongside of the Parsons The New School for Design and the Rochester Institute of Technology.

“Most of our students come from other programs around the country and the world, and this diversity adds to the dynamic quality of our program,” Burge said. “It’s not uncommon for undergraduate DAAP students to consider UC for their master’s degree, but I do not try to hinder them from going elsewhere, as I believe that a diversity of experience is good for a student.

“UC’s masters of fine arts (MFA) program was tied at No. 45 with Stanford University, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Arizona and the Herron School of Art and Design.

Bento box diversifies lunch fun As my column’s faithful readers will know (read: my editors and my parents), I’ve been on a mission to eat healthier — in fact, it was almost exactly one year ago when I wrote my first column on the matter.

Since then, it’s been more than an uphill battle. I think it is destined by the gods that college students simply cannot eat healthily. I start off the week in earnest, only to cave to the tantalizing call of Burger King or Pizza Hut in Tangeman University Center. Factor in my hectic schedule and lack of motivation, and it’s a wonder I saw a single vegetable this year.

During Winter quarter, I enjoyed a little success — I at least managed to pack my lunch most days, instead of splurging on a BK Double Stacker with fries and a Pepsi ... And those adorable slices of cheesecake.

Oh God, the cheesecake.

But packing lunch wasn’t quite working. I found my meal consisting of whatever I had lying around the house: a halfeaten bag of Cheetos, a leftover chicken leg, some stale day-old Cajun fries from 5 Guys Burgers and Fries. Not exactly nutritious.

But, thankfully, my family came though and, in a surprisingly Asian turn of events, introduced me to the joys of the bento box. I’ve been hooked ever since.

The word “bento” stems from the Southern Song word for convenience, and the tradition itself dates back to the 1300s.

Travelers and workers on the go used bentos as a way to transport an easy meal. Now, they can be found in Japanese schools, convenience stores and train stations.

But I’d never heard of bentos until my mom mentioned them during Winter quarter. They were her latest “obsession.” She and my sister (a senior in high school) would journey to the nearest Trader Joe’s to find fun, healthy goodies to stuff in their bento boxes for school lunches (my mom is an elementary school art teacher). They planned each week’s menu with care and scoured the Internet for fun bento ideas.

At first, I doubted the appeal of the bento box. From what I could tell, it seemed like a tiny, problematic pencil case to cram in half a lunch. But then my mom showed me some Americanized bento websites, and I could feel the beauty of the bento luring me in.

Websites like LunchInABox. net and JustBento.com discuss recipes and the latest in bento findings. And after seeing the rice cakes decorated to look like Hello Kitty, I was sold. My mom gave me my very own bento box, and, since then, I’ve caught the bento bug.

It seems the trend is mostly focused on the West Coast, with San Francisco and Seattle scoring the most mentions. But this is a great way for college students on the go to pack a healthy lunch, and it could easily catch on at UC. While I haven’t found any stores with bento products (I have high hopes for a future visit to Jungle Jim’s in Fairfield), websites like en.BentoAndCo.com and VeryAsia.com offer tons of bento boxes at great prices.

In terms of filling the bento, I must admit that I don’t stick to Japanese cuisine — but that’s part of what makes the bento box so fun. My weekly trips to Trader Joe’s provide for a pretty adorable menu — tiny mushroom turnovers and chicken pot stickers serve for the meatier portions of my meal, while mini triple ginger snaps and yogurt-covered raisins make for sweet treats.

Each section of my bento is dedicated to a different food group, making it much easier to cover all my bases in terms of nutrition. Grocery store trips are now made doubly fun, as I hunt for the treasure of fun bento additions. I plan on expanding my bento box to include more fun foods while I continue learning, but, for now, I’m sticking to the basics.

Blueberries, snap peas and grapes are easy to fit in the tiny spaces and help fulfill my fruitsand-veggies quota.

The bento box has become a way for me to pack a nutritious, simple lunch every week and explore the varieties of adorableness and creativity of a custom that dates back centuries. I highly recommend joining the bento bonanza — it’s a fantastic choice for college students, and, hey, how much more awesome would your lunch be with a sushi roll that looks like Pikachu?

Pop Praxis touts feminism Nick grever | senior reporter

While much of the event had a decidedly feminist slant, there was much to be learned at the Women’s, Gender and Sexuality studies’ event “Pop Praxis: Social Justice and the Media” in Tangeman University Center April 8 — no matter one’s background.

Any consumer of popular media (i.e. everyone) had something to gain from attending the event.

The daylong conference featured five breakout sessions with subjects ranging from Batman’s over-the-top masculinity to “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” to Harry Potter porn. Most of the sessions had two speakers each, with subjects that were often varied, but connected on an intellectual basis.

While Winnie Cooper and “30 Rock” may seem to have little in common, the presenters were able to tie together the subjects with a common thread. The presenters were comprised of students and professionals from several fields, including sociology, English lit-

erature and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality studies. This provided for wide and varied viewpoints on the subjects presented.

After each presenter read their work, often with the added assistance of multimedia pieces (such as slideshows, YouTube videos and film clips) the floor was opened to the audience, allowing for questions and comments regarding the presenter’s work. Due to the timely subjects, many of the questions and comments were preceded by a declaration of love for the subject. It’s easier to talk about media representations of women when Buffy is the main example.

Andi Zeisler, the conference’s keynote speaker, broke up the day.

The co-founder and editorial/creative director for “Bitch: Feminist Response to Pop Culture,” a quarterly magazine that examines pop culture through a feminist lens, Zeisler presented a speech titled “Feminism, Technologies and Pop Culture Activism.” Due to her constant advocacy on the subject, Zeisler’s presentation was fluid, to the point, funny and informa-

tive. Her passion was worn on her sleeve and helped fuel much of the second half of the day.

One interesting part of the event was the constant shaping of content. Because the speakers were talking about current sub-

jects and pop culture elements, much of their work was still very much in progress. While they each presented clear and well-thoughtout theses and convincing arguments, the comments and questions from the crowds proved just how in-flux these subjects could be. Many of the presenters didn’t have definitive answers to the questions as their subject matter is still shifting and changing. It was an interesting dynamic and proved just how quickly pop culture can be altered.

The Pop Praxis conference was, by all accounts, a great success.

With a wide range of subjects and well-informed presenters, attendees were sure to walk away with a new view of pop culture, its impact and its reflection of society.

They’ll never listen to Lady Gaga in the same way again.

SEXUAL HEALTH “Stop AIDS” cannot test UC due to budget cuts sam greene | Online editor

Erin leitner | tnr contributor

KEEP IT SAFE In an attempt to perpetuate safer sex, the UC Wellness Center is dedicated to educating and supporting students who need to discuss their sex lives with a friend.

U

niversity of Cincinnati students will not receive free HIV tests as advertized for the Great Sexpectations sexual responsibility week event.

UC Wellness Center’s Program Director, Regan Johnson, received an unexpected phone call from the nonprofit group Stop AIDS Cincinnati Friday, with regrets of having to cancel their services.

The Wellness Center booked Stop AIDS Cincinnati to administer tests on Thursday, April 14, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Tangeman University Center. The cancellation is due to funding cuts to their prevention and testing programs.

“This is discouraging because they are the organization that has been offering free HIV testing quarterly to our students for many

years,” Johnson said.

Stop AIDS Cincinnati handled cases for more than 1,000 HIV-positive Southwestern Ohioans, according to their website. Funding to the organization was officially cut

April 1 after the Ohio Department of Health denied Stop AIDS their annual funds from the Ryan White Part B grant and made it effective March 31. The funds were granted to Caracole, a smaller HIV/AIDS agency of greater Cincinnati, which hopes to provide the cancelled case management services from Stop AIDS. In the meantime, the UC Wellness Center will be unable to fill the vacancy of Stop AIDS for the Great Sexpectations week, but they will try to find someone to cover the service.

Sexual Responsibility Week educates UC bethany cianciolo | tnr contributor The University of Cincinnati’s Wellness Center will be sponsoring Sexual Responsibility Week to educate students on the importance of sexual health.

“It’s about empowering students and helping them make choices for themselves by giving them the information that they need,” said Regan Johnson, Wellness Center program director. “Sexual health is sometimes a little touchy. People don’t necessarily want to talk about it or know where it’s appropriate to talk about it.”

Every three years, the Wellness Center conducts an assessment from the National College Health Association. The in-class survey examines different behaviors among UC students ranging from sexual behavior to stress management. The most recent assessment, conducted in winter 2010, reveals that 41 percent of students have had at least one sexual partner within the last 12 months.

“Of those students that had vaginal intercourse, only about 50 percent of them used a condom when they had sex,” Johnson said.“I don’t think we’re going to change everyone’s behaviors in a week, but the purpose is to bring awareness and to let students know that there is a place on campus for them to come and ask questions and feel comfortable.”

Sexual Responsibility Week, running Monday, April 10, through Friday, April 15, will include events sponsored by different student organizations such as GenderBloc, the LGBTQ Center and the Women’s Center.

The events will address relationship issues and correct usage of contraceptives as well as give students an opportunity to ask questions.

The Wellness Center’s peer educators, a trained group of student workers, will be doing a sexual health question-and-answer session Thursday.

Tiffany Stainfield, a peer educator for two years, said she, among others, goes to different residence halls, fraternities and sororities to talk about different areas of health. She and other “sexperts” will focus on topics that students aren’t as educated about, such as using contraceptives correctly, the importance of lubricant and how just a couple of drinks of alcohol can physically make the body feel more erotic, Stainfield said.

Johnson stresses the desire of the Wellness Center to make itself known to its students.

“Over the last six years that I’ve been here, we have noticed that students don’t know that they can get free condoms here, how to use condoms correctly, or how to talk to their partner about

getting tested,” Johnson said. “Anyone at any time can come into our office and have someone to talk to if they need to.” photo illustration by Eamon Queeney | Photo editor

WRAP IT UP Students can pick up free condoms from the Wellness Center, located at 675 Steger Hall. Up to three condoms per day.

Panera’s cooler younger brother.

Zoup, located at 260 Stetson St., offers more than 100 soups and serves 12 of them every day.The best part of having this many options to choose from is that you can have as many samples of soup as you want.

willing to offer their opinions on their favorites.

The soups come in four different portion sizes: side, cup, bowl and XL. Like Panera, Zoup offers a pick-two option: Customers can choose from a side soup and half of one of their seven salads or seven sandwiches for $6.95.

The Sonoma salad, which features romaine lettuce, cranberries, almonds and Gorgonzola cheese, was crisp and full of flavor. The raspberry vinaigrette was slightly reminiscent of strawberry icing and extremely sweet.

The Tuscan chicken sandwich was a good contrast to the sweetness of the salad. The savory sandwich, which is comprised of strips of grilled chicken, grilled onion and red peppers, provolone cheese, and pesto sauce, did not disappoint. There was a decent amount of chicken and onions and peppers. The pesto sauce didn’t overpower the rest of the flavors in the sandwich, which pesto sometimes can do.

A good vegetarian sandwich option, the California veggie with provolone is somewhat satisfying.

Filled with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, provolone cheese,

guacamole and tzatziki sauce, it leaves the diner with a sense of needing something else to complete it. But, of course, what would a visit to Zoup be without soup? I instantly fell in love with the frontier sevenbean soup. I didn’t count how many different beans there really were in the soup, but it didn’t matter. I devoured the all of it. The bean soup was a little on the thick side, which may put some people off. It’s a great vegetarian option, though cream may have been used as a thickener, making it unsuitable for vegans. The spicy crab and rice soup was just all right, though. It lived up to its name in terms of spice, but the fishy taste overpowered the other flavors.

The atmosphere was relaxed, with pictures of ladles, spoons and bowls adorning the walls.

At the tables, servers promote the website, zoup.com, where you can check what soups are served that day and the nutrition values for each item on the menu.

The only drawback is that Stetson Square offers limited parking (and for only 15 minutes, which doesn’t really allow for a relaxing dining experience).

Regardless, a visit to Zoup is definitely worth the effort.

Skeletonwitch slaughters Athens-based thrash rockers inspire Ohio metal pride NICK GREVER | Senior reporter

T

he April 7 show at the Mad Hatter gave Cincinnati metal fans three big reasons to hold their heads up high (if they were not headbanging). With three acts hailing from the tri-state area — including the headlining Skeletonwitch — fans were exposed some of the best local metal around.

Northern Kentucky natives Scarangella started off the show. While the band’s more typical metal

sound didn’t entirely mesh with the power metal crowd’s tastes, their cover of Dio’s “Holy Diver” was a complete success. This is largely due to singer Dylan Wright’s vocal style. His singing is powerful and busts guts; he seems ready to pop his spleen with each shout.

The next band is on track to be a local sensation: Winterhymn. This blackened folk metal band won the Mad Hatter’s most-recent battle of the bands and April 7 was their first major show. Considering what little public exposure the band has received, there was an inordinate amount of fans and, after their set, it assuredly had many more.

The band knocked it out of the park, hitting all the right notes for their genre. The pounding, driving rhythms of the drums and guitar were excellently accented by violinist Umbriel and keyboardist Exura’s harmonics. Vocalists Ulfr and Draug were also on point, providing a gravelly crescendo to the epic musicianship. By the end of the set, the entire crowd was ready to don some armor and ride into battle.

After the local heroes, it was time for the national acts, with 3 Inches of Blood on tap. While these power metal legends aren’t local, they were definitely received with open arms. As the band took the stage and vocalist Cam Pipes (officially the best name for a vocalist — ever) broke into his trademark wail, the crowd started to move and never stopped. Spirit fingers were always in

the air next to horns, claws and bottles of booze.

It was hard to see the actual band with so much crowd reaction, but you could definitely hear their screeching riffs and thunderous beats. Above it all, Pipes’ high pitches rang out. Imagine if Judas Priest’s Rob Halford played too much Dungeons and Dragons, and you’ve got an idea of what Pipes sounds like and sings about. Epic would be a fitting description.

Ending the night were headliners and Athens residents, Skeletonwitch. The band’s mix of thrash and black metal has vaulted it near the top of the national metal scene in short order.

Vocalist Chance Garnette’s (second best name for a vocalist — ever) screeches and growls sounded as though a demon possessed his body — then started a metal band. His constant hand motions, often acting out the actions he was singing about, did little to detract from the demon theory. Their new drummer, Tony Laureano, played amazingly well in his live debut, with blistering double bass that ripped through the speakers. The guitars and bass fluidly slipped between the black metal and thrash sounds that the band is known for blending.

At the end of the night, Cincinnati metal fans had a lot to be proud of. After seeing two local bands on the up and one from Athens that has gone national, we were able to see different stages of a band’s journey, with plenty of metal in between.

‘Jane Eyre’ revives literary classic Adam Kuhn | Senior reporter Another adaptation of the classic Charlotte Brontë novel “Jane Eyre” hit theaters Friday, marking the 16th time the tale has been shown on the silver screen.

Past adaptations have featured such legends as Orson Welles, Joan Fontaine, George C. Scott, Elizabeth Taylor, William Hurt, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Timothy Dalton.

What makes this one different or worthwhile is the centering on an already strong story. The newest version features a cast of great actors and is a visually stimulating modern costume drama full of life and beauty.

For those unfamiliar with the classic tale, “Jane Eyre” is the story about a young orphaned woman (Mia Wasikowska), whom no one seems to want. She is sent to a boarding school and, from there, is hired as a governess for a rich man’s (Michael Fassebender) daughter. Here she begins to feel welcomed by her colleagues and her employer, Mr. Rochester, who takes a liking to the girl.

But an evil secret hovers over the proceedings and Jane’s disposition seems to suggest that she knew it was there all along — or at least expected her new life was too good to be true.

If Wasikowska’s Eyre is a remarkably human and brilliant performance, then Fassbender’s Mr. Rochester is in every way its equal. The heart and soul of the story unfolds in these two performances and much of the film hinges on them. The way these two actors perform together is nothing short of astounding.

The beauty of the film comes in the form of the melancholia and depression that seem to haunt Eyre’s existence.The emotion comes from the painstaking realization that everything she has experienced has conditioned her to fear the worst, and, oftentimes, she is not wrong in thinking that way.

Matching the great story and acting, director Cary Joji Fukunaga ensures every shot is delicately and deliberately thought out and delivered, creating a film that is

Fukunaga is able to take an old story and make it fresh once more by structuring the film in an interesting way, mixing flash forwards with the main narrative. He also has a romantic touch, which was evident in his

first film “Sin Nombre” as well.

Mirroring the great sense of mood built throughout the film, composer Dario Marianelli (“Atonement,” “Pride and Prejudice”) delivers a subtle score that is hauntingly effective in its ability to blend with the lushly beautiful cinematography.

The costume drama seems to be a very niche genre, complete with a devout following as well as a horde of detractors.

Despite the general definition of the genre technically including titles such as “300,” the style most often refers to English period pieces and is not for everyone. Therefore, let me say now that this film does nothing to attract the detractors.

For those that either love or do not mind costume dramas, however, “Jane Eyre” is worth checking out if for no reason other than to feast your eyes on the great costumes and the stunning visuals. But the film is also a triumph of storytelling, acting and mood, which is why it is a shame that more people may be pushed away from a costume drama as well-done as this one.

from woods | 5 honed his execution in running routes is considerably sharper from last season.

“I know how to read defenses. I know how to read defensive backs. I know what to do in certain situations,”Woods says.

With the graduation of top receiver Armon Binns last season, Woods figures he’ll see more of the ball but trusts in the assembly of Cincinnati’s wideout core.

“Every receiver wants to get touches, but we have great receivers,” Woods said. “We have a whole bunch of people who need the

ball in their hands.”

The Bearcats will return to Paul Brown Stadium — the site of where Woods’ talents were made apparent — Saturday, Oct. 15, against Louisville and Saturday, Nov. 12, against West Virginia, and Woods is keen on playing in the spotlight of a pro setting and capacity crowd once again.

“It’s a lot different because you’re really playing at the next stage,” Woods says. “You kind of feel like how the Cincinnati Bengals do. It’s a great place to play.”

from BASEBALL | 5 pitcher Mike Nastold in the fourth inning, scoring three more runs off four hits and forcing the Cardinals to change pitchers mid-inning.

UC pitcher Nick Johnson — who played the entirety of the game — held U of L scoreless through the first eight innings, delivering eight strikeouts.

Johnson came under fire at the top of the ninth as the Cardinals delivered consecutive hits down the

leftfield line, scoring two runs to start the inning. But Johnson settled down and struck out Louisville’s Jeff Gardner to pick up the win — his fourth of the season.

“I was getting pretty tired at the end and I was kind of nervous,” Johnson said. “I was like, man I don’t know if I can finish this, but thankfully I got that guy out at the end.”

Cincinnati finished the day with five runs off nine

hits. Spence led the Bearcats with two runs batted in off three hits. Nick Rholfs added one RBI off three hits. “[Rholfs] is an energy guy, and he has just got a really good history against Louisville,”Cleary said.“He’s kind of a Cardinal killer.”

The Bearcats’ next test will be the Joe Nuxhall Classic — a two-game series against Xavier — beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Marge Schott Stadium.

From BABA BUDAN’S | 1 Hand, UC spokesperson. “There was a business called The Bearcat Café at that location — it had been in business for a while. It went out of business and so it wasn’t a matter we were pursuing.”

The name came up as an issue of concern a few years ago once Hamburg’s business began using the name, Hand said.

“We got in contact with the owners and said, ‘You can’t use that name because that’s our trademark.’ So the discussion has been going on for several years,” Hand said.

With no resolution, UC decided to take the matter to federal court.

The court date has not yet been set, but the university claims that the goal of the lawsuit is only to strike the Bearcat Café name from the Baba Budan’s establishment.

“They are hiring lawyers to file the lawsuit with taxpayers’ money,” Hamburg said. “We’re just a small business. It costs a lot of money to hire lawyers — the university could be using that money to give professor’s raises.”

THE SAM

WOODS

ANTICS sam elliott

Longtime editor says goodbye In sports, there’s always another game, another season, another opportunity waiting.

Life works the same way.You can never get too comfortable.

That’s why sports are so popular: The average American might never need a game-winning jumper or face an eight-foot putt to claim a championship, but anyone can relate with a team coming together among adversity, tackling new challenges and seizing an opportunity.

In no way am I comparing myself to a top-level athlete, but I’m noticing more and more how life parallels with our favorite games.

Winning takes preparation, dedication and a love for one’s craft. So does finding a job. Making an impact means making sacrifices and going after it hard in the name of the dream.

After an unforgettable collegiate career, I’ve decided to forego my remaining eligibility and move on to the professional ranks in the 2011 Real World Draft. The scouts had me pegged as a mid- to late-round pick with potential after a decorated two-year stint at The News Record.

Some teams showed interest, the highest level of which coming out of Jerseyville, Ill., a little city roughly 45 minutes out of St. Louis.

I elected to write a column instead of using a televised one-hour “Decision” special, but I’ve decided to take my talents to South Beach — er, Southwestern Illinois, I mean — to man a trio of weekly newspaper’s sports sections.

Leaving both Cincinnati and The Record won’t be easy. The university’s student newspaper has been a blessing and a great kickstart to what’s hopefully a long and successful career in the field.

The News Record’s list of alumni is full of talent, and I wouldn’t have made it this far without the teachings and guidance of guys and gals like Peter Marx, Garrett Sabelhaus, Kareem Elgazzar, Bo Jessee and Taylor Dungjen. It was an honor working for and with you, and everything I learned from you all has already proven invaluable.

Don’t worry TNR sports fans, the section is in good hands. Sam Weinberg, it’s been a pleasure manning the desk with you this year. Keep up the good work and bring us home some more awards.

And to the rest of next season’s returning starters, I wish you all the best of luck.

They’re way too big time to read any of my work, but I’ve got to send thanks towards some of the city’s professional writers, namely The Enquirer’s Bill Koch, GoBercats.com’s Paul Dehner and Joe Kay of the Associated Press. For better or worse, I’ve tried to conduct myself at events and cover UC sports after your examples.

Hanging around press conferences, practices and games on the beat with you all has been fun and I’ve learned a lot from you guys.

Now if you could give your boy a head’s up before calling it quits with your current employers, I’d be much obliged and have my application in the mail on the double.

Writing and reporting Cincinnati sports would have been nothing without the athletes and coaches I’ve been privileged to cover the past few years.

It was a great ride to a pair of BCS bowls for the football Bearcats, and guys like Conner Barwin and Mardy Gilyard were a joy to cover and quote. On the hard court, Mick Cronin’s rebuilding process of the men’s basketball program has been a great story to follow. Thanks to all the athletes across all the school’s sports that were kind enough to give me interviews, I appreciated you making my job easier.

A similar shout out has to be given the UC sports information crew. Ryan Koslen, Jeremy Martin and the gang, thanks for the golden nuggets of info and for hooking us up with coaches and players when we’ve got deadlines looming and you’ve got a million other things to do.

And finally, I think Mom and Girlfriend might kill me if I wrap up the college column-writing career without some love thrown their way.You ladies are great.You know who you are.

It’s been real, Cincinnati.

BUILDING ON 2010 In his junior season, D.J. Woods hauled in 898 yards and eight touchdowns, while running for 728 yards on special teams.

D.J. Woods jolted onto the Cincinnati football scene in stride Sept. 25, 2010, hauling in a career-best 171 yards in front of 58,253 fans at Paul Brown Stadium.

But the infamous second still fresh in Woods’ mind was when he was swiped from behind at Every year is a learning experience.

I feel like right now everything is with two giveaways. coming together.

“Those mistakes are going to live with me forever,” The —d.j. woods Senior Cincinnati wideout Strongsville, Ohio, native says.“I’m probably my biggest critic. I thought I had a great game, but, at the same time, I fumbled

twice, and that’s the only thing I remember from the game.”

At the beginning of last season, Woods was prone to dropping the ball, losing five fumbles in the opening four games. But despite his early season troubles, Woods closed the season with better hands, and lost just one fumble in the final eight games.

“It all comes back to consistency,” says UC head coach Butch Jones. “[Woods] is as talented of a player as we have.

He’s extremely intelligent [and] he plays fast. Now it’s just about consistency on a day-to-day basis.”

In response to Jones’ request, the senior wideout has put in the time off the field to correct his ball security during the spring offseason.

“The first thing [Woods] needed to do was get bigger and stronger in the weight room,” Jones said. “He has embraced that challenge.

He’s done a great job. I think he has had a very productive offseason.”

Woods approaches his senior campaign as the top-returning receiver, having hauled in a team-best 898 yards and eight touchdowns during his junior season — accolades earning him second team all-Big East honors.

“Every year is a learning experience,” Woods says. “I’m trying to get my technique down, know what I’m doing on the ball and off the ball. I feel like right now everything is coming together.”

PROTECTING THE BALL D.J. Woods fumbled four times in UC’s opening five games, but fumbled just once in the remaining eight.

Cats avoid sweep by Cards Bearcats finish 3-game series with 5-2 victory SCOTT WINFIELD | SENIOR REPORTER The University of Cincinnati baseball team lost its three-game series against No. 25 Louisville 2-1 at Marge Schott Stadium, despite a strong, consistent defensive

performance and a 5-2 win in game three.

Two runs at the top of the ninth inning sealed the 7-4 win for the Cardinals (20-11, 6-3 Big East) Friday in the opening game of the series. UC scored two runs sam greene | online editor

PACKING THE HEAT Nick Johnson gave up seven hits and struck out eight batters through nine innings in UC’s 5-2 win Sunday against Louisville.

in the eighth inning to make it a 5-4 game, but, despite the late comeback, the Bearcats failed to catch the Cardinals.

In the second game of the series Saturday, pitcher Andrew Strenge delivered eight strikeouts for Cincinnati. Strenge’s effort on the mound wasn’t enough, however, as the Bearcats again fell short as their batters struggled to hit with runners on base.

“I’m really frustrated with our ability to have good at-bats with runners in scoring position,” said UC head coach Brian Cleary.

“It’s odd — we’re really good offensively in a lot of different areas: stealing bases, we execute well, we run the bases pretty well, but what we’ve done with

runners in scoring position is really frustrating.”

Cincinnati (15-14, 4-5 Big East) set the defensive tone early in game three Sunday, as thirdbaseman Matt Williams made the diving save on a Ryan Seiz single down the third-base line, firing the ball to first for the final out of the first inning.

“I think that might be one of the most overlooked parts of the game,” Cleary said. “They got a couple hits, and if he didn’t make that play, then we’re down one, maybe two. At the time, I walked up to him and said that’s a great job of saving two runs and giving us a chance right out of the shoot.”

The Bearcats earned their first run in the second inning as Nic Spence singled to right field, scoring Braden Kline.

LAX LOSING STREAK HITS FIVE The University of Cincinnati lacrosse team lost its fifth-straight game Friday, falling 17-2 to the No. 18 Georgetown Hoyas in Washington, D.C. The Hoyas (5-5, 3-0 Big East) were the third consecutive ranked team Cincinnati (2-9, 0-3) has faced in the past 12 days.

Georgetown dominated the Bearcats offensively, outshooting UC 38-8, while grabbing 15 draw controls and 19 ground balls.

Following the first half of play, Cincinnati trailed Georgetown 11-0. The Bearcats failed to find the back of the net until the second half’s five-minute mark with a goal by Kylie Ramsland.

With 1:33 remaining in the game, Cincinnati attacker Katie Kiriazoglou netted the Bearcats’ second goal.

Georgetown had four players score a game-high two goals.

The Bearcats returns to action at 3 p.m. Friday against the Villanova Wildcats at Nippert Stadium.

THUNDERING HERD STAMPEDE CATS The University of Cincinnati tennis team fell 6-1 to the No. 53 Marshall Thundering Herd Sunday at the Trabert-Talbert Tennis Center.

The Bearcats’ lone point came from freshman Ashleigh Witte with a 6-4 and 6-0 set win against Kristina Koprcina in the No. 4 singles.

Marshall took the other points and swept the doubles match to earn its sixth point.
