The Ohio House of Representatives passed House Bill 125 by a vote of 54-43 in June, banning abortions as soon as a fetal heartbeat is detected.

It is now pending passage by the Ohio Senate. HB 125, known as the “heartbeat bill”, bans abortions as early as five-and-a-half weeks into a pregnancy.

If passed, HB 125 would challenge the United States Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, which granted women the right to an abortion until the fetus is viable outside the womb.

“[HB 125 is] unconstitutional and prevents abortion at a point when many women do not know they are pregnant yet,” said Kellie Copeland, executive director for National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL) Pro-Choice Ohio, “[The bill] goes against the unburden clause in the Roe v. Wade decision.”

Copeland believes politicians are trying to come between doctors and their patients.

“We believe medical decisions [should] be made by women and their doctors, not by their state representatives,” Copeland said.

NARAL has formed a “women watch” outside of the Ohio Senate to ensure their message is heard, Copeland said.

“Ohioans elected these people to work on jobs, and they are currently working on 10 bills that are anti-abortion or against contraceptives,” Copeland said.

It is unclear when the Ohio Senate will vote on the bill, but pro-life senators out number pro-choice by a ratio of 2-to-1, Copeland said.

Copeland pointed out many pro-life groups are in opposition to “heartbeat bill,” if struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court it would mean a stronger Roe v. Wade.

Thirty of 50 chapters of the Ohio’s Right to Life have endorsed the bill, including the chapter of Cincinnati, said Paula Westwood, executive director at Right to

Life of Greater Cincinnati. Westwood said she believes the “heartbeat bill”

could pass the U.S. Supreme Court, despite the pro-choice opposition’s beliefs.

“Based on Supreme Court decision which banned partial-birth abortion, Gonzales v. Carhart,” Westwood said. “The Supreme Court recognized undisputed evidence which shows a fetus is living from the time of a detectable heartbeat.”

Right to Life of Greater Cincinnati is expecting and hoping the “heartbeat bill” is sued, Westwood said.

“We have top constitutional lawyers on our side,” Westwood said. “We would not be behind it if we didn’t believe it could pass.”

Even if the U.S. Supreme Court were to challenge and rule against the bill, there are parts that can be upheld written in a severability clause, Westwood said.

Before Senate can vote on the bill, the Senate committee must release the bill for a vote, Westwood said.

The Cincinnati Zoo opened its gates to the public in 1875 and is one of the oldest zoos in the United States. However, it might, also, be one of the hardest zoos to get to in the United States.

“It would really be nice if it was easier to get to the Cincinnati Zoo,” said Thayne Maynard, the zoo’s director, at a meeting to call attention to the need for a new exit off

Interstate 71 at Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Tuesday, Sept. 28 at a news conference at Stetson Square on Eden Ave.

University of Cincinnati representatives, Maynard and an Uptown Consortium stood with Mayor Mark Mallory to urge the passage of President Barack Obama’s jobs bill.

“The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden attracts more than 1.3 million visitors a year,” Maynard said, “and is the city’s most popular year-round attraction, but it’s probably the

hardest one to try to figure out how to get to.”

Mallory stated that the package he and Obama are trying to get Congress to pass would include $27 billion for infrastructure projects. The city of Cincinnati will seek part of those funds to build the MLK interchange. However, there’s no guarantee that Cincinnati would get any funds for infrastructure projects.

ones where you slow down the videocassette and point it out to your friends?

I find it hypocritical that the network wants to tell the public how “extremely disappointed” it is in Williams, while the money funnels in to its coffers from broadcasting NFL player A spearing NFL player B, resulting in severe injury.

Or while two boxers dole out punches in the ring on the network’s “Friday Night Fights” and give each other future neurological damage.

Or while the network

broadcasts the show “Martial Combat” in Asia, involving the very sport of mixed-martial arts that Arizona Sen. John McCain once called “human cockfighting.”

Just tell the public the network didn’t play the Williams’ song because he was stupid, ESPN.

Deflect the praise the network is receiving — because given the nature of ESPN’s business, it truthfully has no higher moral road to even attempt to take.

means there’s very little “family time.” Ted sleeps when Hillary and Sandra are up and about. “Ted and I actually had a life before Hillary came home,” Sandra says with a sigh. “I can’t remember the last time we went out, just the two of us. It just doesn’t happen.”

Sandra and Ted don’t hire babysitters because they don’t trust them. And although Hillary’s mother is still in the picture, she rarely visits; Sandra worries she’s still involved with the man who shook Hillary — the man sitting in jail, waiting for parole. He still insists he never shook her.

Sandra never trusted him; she even told an employee with Every Child Succeeds, a child-development program for first-time parents, to be on her guard. “’Please, watch him,’” she’d said. “He’s going to hurt one of them.’” Although she had her suspicions,

Sandra never imagined those words would come true. But even now, two years later, the phone conversation she had with her daughter on that fateful day still haunts her. “I’ll never forget: Hillary had the phone up to her ear and I’d go, ‘Hillary, it’s Mammaw,’ and she’d always make a cooing noise. That was her little thing with me and when she did, I knew she was OK,” Sandra recalls. “I asked her mom if she was going to bring Hillary over that day and she said, ‘Mom, he’s got to learn how to take care of her if we’re going to be a family.’ ”

But it was the phone call that came later that night, around 10 p.m., that changed everything. “Mom, I need you to come to the hospital,” Sandra’s daughter said. “Hillary’s in a bad way.”

In the years since, Sandra’s crusade to save Hillary has evolved from a

personal to a public one: She speaks at local high schools and public venues focused on brain trauma and child abuse about the dangers of shaken baby syndrome, hoping to prevent the kind of judgment lapse that forever changed Hillary’s fate. “Hillary needs my voice,” Sandra says. “Survivors need my voice.”

Sandra confesses that she is far from being computer-savvy, but her laptop gives her that voice. She’s created a detailed PowerPoint presentation that is packed with information about shaken baby syndrome. It’s a virtual scrapbook, too, chronicling the life of the brown-haired little girl with the curled fingers through a timeline of pictures, backed by the accompaniment of syrupy sweet pop songs. Hillary’s personal favorite? “The Climb,” by Miley Cyrus. The 3-year-old couldn’t possibly fathom the lyrics, but

they couldn’t be more apt in her life: “The struggles I’m facing / The chances I’m taking / Sometimes might knock me down / But, no, I’m not breaking…. Ain’t about how fast I get there / Ain’t about what’s waiting on the other side / It’s the climb.”

As if on cue, Hillary perks up as Sandra plays the PowerPoint presentation on her home TV. The Miley Cyrus song begins to play, and it’s one of the few times Hillary has been completely quiet and still. She puts her hands on the TV screen, smiling and listening intently. Sandra smiles, too, like any proud grandmother would. “Nobody can tell me she doesn’t know that’s her song,” Sandra says. “She knows.”

It is, indeed, a climb.

BENJAMIN KITCHEN | STAFF WRITER

It’s been almost five years since Canadian singer-songwriter Feist released her last album, 2007’s “The Reminder.” Mixing her indie roots with pop hooks, Feist earned a Grammy nomination and found a hit in her song “1234,” memorably used in a commercial for the iPod Nano. Since then, however, Feist has been almost unheard of.

Drained by the commercial success of her third album (and first major label release), Feist took a sort of musical sabbatical. When she finally returned to the studio to create her latest effort, “Metals,” Feist set up shop in a barn in Big Sur, Calif. The result is a genuinely well-crafted album that neither fails nor tries to live up to the hype of its predecessor. “Metals” is an excellent set of 12 tracks.

The album starts explosively — “The Bad in Each Other” boasts drums as heavy as steel-toe boots, a folky guitar riff and electric feedback. Feist’s distinctive vocals melt over the backing track. “A good man and a good woman bring out the worst in each other,” she croons over strings and rattling

percussion. The track builds and builds, reaching its highest point before reluctantly dying out like the slope of a mountain.

Glimpses of classic Feist can be seen in songs like “Graveyard” and “Caught a Long Wind” with their slow, sleepy instrumental and faint drums. “Graveyard” starts off drowsily, but by the time a children’s choir joins in to sing, “Bring them all back to life,” the song is the furthest thing from a graveyard.

The album’s first single, “How Come You Never Go There,” is soulful and bluesy, like much of the album. Feist sings over her own harmonies and hazy electric guitar. “A Commotion” sees Feist’s vocals flutter over intensifying piano. It’s one of the album’s most captivating and upbeat tracks with its overwhelmingly catchy chorus.

“The Circle Married the Line” sees Feist return to the familiar territory of a lower tempo. The song has an old school, musical-esque charm, layering a dreamy soundscape with Disney-like backing vocals and orchestral flourishes. The summery “Bittersweet

Melodies” lives up to its title as Feist describes a dreamy romance.

“Anti-Pioneer” and “Cicadas and Gulls” are rootsy and simple, like much of the album, but perhaps move a little too slowly by the time we reach the end of the LP. “Undiscovered First” and “Comfort Me” are in the same vein as the opening track, making for two of the album’s more compelling tracks.

The heavy-eyed soul of her ballads compliments the jaunty, foot-stomping fun of the faster tracks. As always, Feist’s vocals sound affected and genuine, while the lyrics continue to display her capability of creating beautiful images. Feist is truly a great songwriter, and Metals continues to prove that.

Metals is as consistently good as “Let It Die” and “The Reminder,” and you can see the artistic growth between the latter and this album. Perhaps inspired by her Big Sur studio, the album feels more organic, and certainly more soulful. It may not have the commerciality of “1234” or “Mushaboom,” but “Metals” more than makes up for it in quality and sheer beauty.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays a helpless, yet inspiring cancer patient in the new film, “50/50.” The movie, also starring Seth Rogan, portrays the life of a talk radio writer diagnosed with spinal cancer.

Adam Schwartz (Gordon-Levitt) is a typical 26-year-old: He has a beautiful girlfriend, a nagging mother and an irresponsible best friend (Rogan). That all changes, however, when Adam is diagnosed with a rare form of spinal cancer and has to face the life-threatening disease.

The film begins with Adam trying to pitch an idea about a volcano to his editor, who brushes it off carelessly. His best friend Kyle also works at the radio station and transports Adam daily, since he hasn’t learned to drive in his 26 years. Adam’s back had been bothering him, so he decides to visit the doctor.

Make no mistake — this is not one of those “I’m-going-to-do-all-I-can” movies just because the main character has cancer — Adam reacts just like any normal person — with disbelief.

Adam immediately checks out WebMD and reads that he will only have a 50 percent chance of survival with this type of cancer. After this discovery, Kyle (trying to find any encouraging words he can) says, “If you were a game at a casino, you’d have the best odds.”

To keep his mental state in order, Adam hires a psychiatrist who turns out to be very young and inexperienced — in fact, she hasn’t even earned her doctorate yet.

Throughout the movie, Adam’s patience is tested, calmed and broken. His girlfriend proves unreliable,

the chemotherapy is trying his physical health, and his mother is constantly in his business without warrant.

Adam has, as I like to call them, two “Chemo Companions.” Every time he receives treatment, these two older gentlemen are there with various baked goods containing medicinal marijuana to ease the pain.

Through all the stress, Adam has neglected to realize that those around him truly care. His mom has joined a cancer support group, Kyle is reading books, and he and his therapist are falling for each other.

Each character influences Adam in his struggle to keep his head above the water. The Chemo Companions chat with him about their lives, which helps Adam to realize what a short life he has lived.

The cinematography of this movie is excellent at getting into Adam’s mind and representing his interpretation of his experiences. Despite his situation, he’s a very relatable character.

The soundtrack set the mood in each scene almost too well — I wanted to cry and laugh right along with the characters.

I felt as if I was a part of this journey with Adam and through every happy, sad or traumatic scene, I was pulling for the guy. Gordon-Levitt made the experience genuine, and Rogan provided just the right amount of comic relief in between dramatic scenes. Overall, “50/50” was a nice mix of feel-good, struggle, comedy and inspiration.

Odds are: Audiences will love ‘50/50’

Hillary’s TaleUnlike other young girls who love princesses, Hillary Jarboe doesn’t have her own set of worn-down plastic princess heels. In fact, she doesn’t even have a favorite toy. What she does have is a permanent bump on her skull from when her mother’s boyfriend shook her two years ago, causing a condition known as shaken baby syndrome — and changing Hillary’s life forever.

on beInG HIllary [top]: Hillary Jarboe, 3, wears a helmet during playtime with her classmates at her daycare center. This is an added safety precaution to protect Hillary’s head from another serious injury. [middle]: amber Jarboe holds her daughter Hillary in her arms during a visit to her mother’s house in florence, Ky. [bottom right]: occupational therapist Tricia gibbons works with Hillary on a weekly basis. gibbons hopes to continue to improve Hillary’s fine motor skills.

Hillary Rose Jarboe coos at the cold, wet feeling of red acrylic paint dripping off of her fingers and onto

her desk in an activity room at the Redwood Rehab Center in Ft. Mitchell, Ky. The paint pools and smears on the paper that covers her desk, which is the only one in the room with an official nametag and a seat affixed to the table. And art time is the only time of day the therapeutic gloves come off of Hillary’s busy 3-year-old hands; she can wiggle them as she pleases. Her fingers wander to her mouth and trail across her forehead and cheeks, leaving red streaks. She rubs her fingers on the paper — not to create art, like the other children, but to feel

something. Anything.Hillary is also the only child

in the room wearing a helmet; it’s covered with Disney princess stickers. But unlike other young girls who love princesses, she can’t sing the words to Aladdin’s “A Whole New World,” and she doesn’t have her own personal worn-down set of plastic princess heels. In fact, she doesn’t even have a favorite toy.

What she does have is a permanent bump on her skull and three therapists she’s been working with for two years. She’s only been walking for a few months, and her speech is limited to coos, laughter and giggles. Her gloves help straighten her bent fingers so she can eventually learn to use pens, pencils, paintbrushes, silverware — any tool or utensil that requires dexterity, which the rest of us take for granted. Without them, Hillary’s little fingers become crumpled, turning her hands into two scrunched wads of paper. She still needs help feeding herself.

When Hillary was seven months old, her mother’s boyfriend shook her, causing severe brain trauma. Now she suffers from cerebral palsy and retinal hemorrhage. Although her condition is commonly referred to as shaken baby syndrome, the proper term is pediatric abusive head trauma—a clarification made in 2005 by the American Academy of Pediatrics. “’Syndrome’ makes it sound like an accident,” says Sandra Jarboe, Hillary’s grandmother and legal guardian. “The term ‘pediatric abusive head trauma’ makes it sound more like a violent form of abuse. Shaken baby syndrome is no accident.”

The damage to the brain is devastating, Hillary’s doctor says. Imagine a seven-month-old baby in the backseat of a car going 60 mph when the vehicle veers from

the road and crashes into a tree. The baby dies on impact. Another seven-month-old is shaken by a frustrated adult in a moment of lapsed patience; her brain is jumbled around the inside of her skull and she survives — but just barely. The effect on the brain is the same, but the shaken baby — if she lives, and many do not — battles for her life.

It’s easy to forget this when you see Hillary smiling, giggling and joyfully wandering around in circles in her grandparents’ Northern Kentucky home — a dabble of drool, a crooked, toothy smile and a certainty in her step. She’ll lie on the floor, using the muscles in her legs to move her body around; it makes her feel something. She wiggles herself across the room, keeping that same blank, wide-eyed stare.

To her grandparents — Sandra, 46, and Ted Frohlich, 48 — Hillary is the miracle child. Doctors predicted she would be a vegetable and warned that her brain could stop at any time. Even now, two years later, they’re still giving the Jarboes the same warning: “Any time.” Sandra and Ted say they take life day by day with Hillary. “When people ask me about Hillary’s future, I honestly can never give an answer,” Sandra says. “Anything could happen.”

The Frohlichs became Hillary’s legal guardians four days before her first birthday, after she’d spent almost five months in and out of hospitals and in medically fragile foster care (foster care for special-needs children who require 24-hour attention and presence of a doctor).

Even now, Hillary is quite a handful. She requires near-constant attention, and unlike most 3-year-olds, she can’t be silenced with cartoons or a new Barbie doll. Luckily, though, she rebounds quickly. “She goes to

bed and wakes up with a smile on her face, no matter what kind of day she’s had,” her grandmother says. “Most kids with severe brain trauma aren’t like that. They’re usually severely agitated.”

Five days a week, Sandra takes Hillary to the Redwood Rehabilitation Center’s daycare, where both disabled and “normal” kids play together, make art together and roll around on the fl oor together, if the mood strikes them so. The fact that Redwood is integrated is one of the main reasons Sandra chose to take Hillary there. “Ted and I are trying to give her a normal life so

she doesn’t feel out of place, and still be able to get her the care, equipment and therapy she needs,” Sandra says. And despite the helmet and special desk, Hillary seems to fi t in just fi ne.

The art of a 3-year-old’s power of manipulation, it appears, has not been lost on Hillary: “If I tell her

she can’t do something, she’ll look at me and smile and try to give me a kiss,” says Danielle

Lauer, the lead caregiver in the center’s Toddlers Advancing

to Preschool (TAP) room, who has worked with Hillary since

she fi rst came to Redwood in June 2009. In their nearly

two years together, Lauer has learned how to predict Hillary’s reactions and cope with her sometimes persuasive or stubborn temper.

During free playtime, Hillary and her classmates may roam about the classroom and gallivant as they please. But while the other children chase each other or dump out toy buckets, Hillary typically keeps to herself. Other children occasionally grab her hand or hug her, but Lauer says she’s never seen Hillary initiate interaction.

W h e n S a n d r a picks up Hillary from d a y c a r e , she brings her home to a room chock full of stuffed a n i m a l s — it’s an e x p l o s i o n

of pink that any 3-year-old girl would envy. Surprisingly, not much in the Jarboe home is “Hillary-proof.” It doesn’t have to be, Sandra says. Hillary can safely crawl up and down stairs and knows where the furniture and chairs are. And although Hillary’s doctors and grandparents don’t fully know the quality of her vision, they believe she can see outlines of objects and faces. It’s been enough for her to get by.

Her grandparents have learned to get by, too. Sandra, a home health aide, works with the disabled and elderly; her husband works the night shift in maintenance at a local plastics production plant, and often trudges through 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. shifts. That

IT’S THE CLIMB Hillary Jarboe, 3, works on learning how to peddle a tricycle with her physical therapist, Jennifer Timmerding, at Hillary’s home in Florence, Ky. Hillary has a condition called pediatric abusive head trauma, commonly referred to as shaken baby syndrome. When Hillary was seven months old, her mother’s boyfriend shook her, causing severe brain trauma. Since then, Hillary lives with her grandparents, Sandra and Ted Frohlich.

SEAN PETERS | SENIOR REPORTER

Are your ears still ringing from MidPoint? Tough break, music fans, because it’s time to subject yourselves to some worthwhile ruckus at the

fi fth bi-annual Clifton Heights Music Festival. This festival is tailor-made for students at the

University of Cincinnati, as every venue involved is within easy walking distance from campus.

For the fi rst time, Roxx Electrocafé will open their doors to CHMF. The coffee shop/video game den has hosted open-mic nights for local musicians and artists, but this will be the café’s fi rst foray into the local music festival scene.

TNR’s Top Picks:SASSY MOLASSES (ROHS STREET CAFE)Friday Oct. 7 @ 9:30 p.m.

Moirah Haven Lawson fronts this rootsy folk outfi t. Originally a mandolin player with several bluegrass and folk bands, Lawson sings with the soulful power typically reserved for blues players who have too much on their mind.

THE FRANKL PROJECT (CHRISTY’S BIERGARTEN)Friday, Oct. 7 @ 11 p.m.

The Frankl Project is a true power trio; there are sextets who can’t come close to their fully layered sonic samplings. Back when the band started, their sound bordered always on the cusp on ska-punk, but maturity has shown their musical approach to favor melodic punk rock, with heartfelt bouts of folk-ballads.THE PROHIBITIONISTS (MURPHY’S PUB)Friday, Oct. 7 @ 11 p.m.

This local garage rock band had the burdened honor of opening for Booker T. Jones at this year’s MidPoint Music Festival. Their sound revolves around a seemingly punk rock approach to Beatles-style songwriting. SHADOWRAPTR (BABA BUDAN’S)Saturday, Oct. 8 @ 12:30 a.m.

If you’re interested in something a little different than all these hard rockers at CHMF, SHADOWRAPTR’s sound is more like the jazzy-indie fever dreams we all have the tendency to wake from right before it turns into a memorable, recurring nightmare.

NEWPORT SECRET SIX (CHRISTY’S BIERGARTEN)Saturday, Oct. 8 @ 11 p.m.

Fans of early ska and reggae should be glad to see the Six representing Jamaican music at CHMF. Originally known as Duppy ‘a Jamba, 2011 saw their transformation into The Newport Secret Six (presumably because newcomers expected Creole music with their fi rst name? Only they know.). The Six make it a point to stick with the roots, while still managing to come out with suitably original ska.BUCKRA (MURPHY’S PUB)Saturday, Oct. 8 @ 12:30 a.m.

Everyone’s favorite baldy, Dylan Speeg, has been fronting Buckra for quite some time. This debonair variety band knows no musical genre constraints, as they seamlessly integrate every sort of sound you’d want to hear. Speeg also bartends at Murphy’s Pub. If you’re moved by his band’s performance, it’s an honor to be served cheap booze from this esteemed local celebrity.

Weekend tickets are $15. All venues are 21+, except for Rohs Street Café and Roxx Electrocafé, which are 18+. C’mon, baby, get some!

SAM WEINBERG | SPORTS EDITOR

When most freshmen arrive on campus, they have a laundry list of typical fi rst-year fears: weird roommates, doing their own laundry and dining hall “food” to name a few.

For freshman forward Cole DeNormandie, the usual list was compounded by the opportunity to play for the University of Cincinnati men’s soccer team in the Big East — what DeNormandie calls one of the best conferences in the country.

“I honestly had no idea what to expect coming into the season,” DeNormandie says. “College soccer is a completely different game for me.

While DeNormandie might not have had any experience on the collegiate level before coming to UC, it wouldn’t take a rocket scientist to suspect that it wouldn’t be long before he found his college groove — especially after looking at his high school resumé.

DeNormandie was a two-time National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-American, a two-time Massachusetts Gatorade Player of the Year nominee and a three-time all-conference and all-state selection.

ESPN High School dubbed him “the best striker in Massachusetts,” and it’s not diffi cult to see why. In his four seasons at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, DeNormandie netted 64 goals and tallied 24 assists — 17 goals and six assists in his senior season alone — while leading his squad to three league titles.

He also hails from a family of athletes. His dad, Tom DeNormandie, was as an all-American lacrosse player at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, while his brother, Sam DeNormandie, won three letters in soccer at the same college as his father.

Even with all of his high school accolades and blood that carries athletic success, DeNormandie says he was still a little worried when UC head coach Hylton Dayes gave him the starting nod in UC’s fi rst game of the 2011 season against Western Michigan Aug. 27.

“Going into the fi rst game, I was kind of unsure just about myself playing in the Big East and starting,” DeNormandie says.

As it would turn out, his fears were for nothing. In his fi rst real college game, DeNormandie did what he did best in high school — found the back of the net. With just 10 minutes remaining in play, DeNormandie drilled a goal following a defensive miscue on the backline for his fi rst collegiate point.

“I think that game gave me a lot of confidence and lifted a lot of pressure off my shoulders,” DeNormandie says.

As nice as it was to score a goal in his fi rst college game, DeNormandie says his favorite moment in a Bearcats’ uniform so far came two weeks later, when Cincinnati played Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

Going into the game, DeNormandie was in a bit of a slump, but he rebounded against IUPUI with two goals to help the Bearcats to a 4-1 victory.

“I didn’t score the weekend before against Virginia Tech or Virginia, and scoring those two goals [against IUPUI] was a confi dence builder,” DeNormandie says. “I got those two goals and I felt like I played a great game, and I think that’s kind of what sparked my year.”

Now 10 games into the season, the six-foot Lincoln, Mass., native leads the team in goals (5) and points (10). He has a .333 shot percentage and a .533 shot-on-goal percentage, yet he admits playing on the collegiate level took some getting used to.

“Everyone has been bigger, everyone has been faster — especially in the Big East,” DeNormandie says. “The game itself is a lot quicker. If you aren’t thinking and aren’t in it mentally 100 percent of the time, you can get left behind, and you can miss opportunities.”

While the Bearcats are just 3-6-1 on the season, DeNormandie says his primary goal is to win a national championship in a Cincinnati uniform. In the meantime, however, he says he’s just happy to be playing at a school that he calls “one of the best in the country.”

“All of our facilities and every thing are great, and our coaching staff, our physical therapy — everything is awesome,” DeNormandie says. “So far my fi rst year is going great.”

Apparently some freshmen can shake laundry lists of fears faster than others.

PAT STRANG | ASSISTANT PHOTO EDITOR

LEADING THE CATS Freshman Cincinnati forward Cole DeNormandie has scored a team-high five goals and 10 points, while posting a .333 shot percentage and .533 shot-on-goal percentage.

DeNormandie fi nds freshman year success

When did the Monday Night Football theme song disappear?

Those watching Monday night’s underwhelming struggle between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Indianapolis Colts might have been wondering such a thing when they didn’t hear the strains of country artist Hank Williams Jr. and his “Are You Ready for Some Football?” theme song.

Well, it seems ol’ Hank made some really stupid comments Monday morning on Fox News about President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner playing golf together back in June, and ESPN decided to yank Williams and his song from their broadcast.

Williams said referring to the golf game — which included Vice President Joe Biden and Ohio Gov. John Kasich — that it was, “one of the biggest political mistakes ever” and “Come on, come on. That’d be like [Adolf] Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu.” Okay. Not hardly.

The comments were made, Williams said, to illustrate the partisan gulf that exists in the nation’s government.

As Keith Jackson, former ABC college football broadcaster, would say: Whoa, Nelly.

Hence the statement from ESPN Monday that said, while “Williams is not an ESPN employee. We recognize that he is closely linked to our company through the open to ‘Monday Night Football.’ We are extremely disappointed with his comments; and as a result, we have decided to pull the open from tonight’s telecast.”

The network’s decision brought subsequent praise from the Anti-Defamation League and an uncertain future for Williams collaborating with ESPN.

“ESPN responded appropriately and did the right thing in pulling the Hank Williams Jr. football song from the airwaves,” said Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League and a survivor of the Holocaust. “The Holocaust was a singular event in human history, and it is an insult to

the memory of the millions who died as a result of Hitler’s plan of mass extermination to compare the Nazi dictator to any American president.”

Does anyone besides me fi nd this hypocritical?

Not the reaction from the ADL denouncing Williams, mind you. Williams’ comments were extreme and ridiculous, without a doubt. The man doesn’t have a good grasp on realistic analogies and should have learned from former Reds’ owner Marge Schott just how far a reference to Hitler will get you.

Williams could have gone with something simpler, such as, “That’d be like an Ohio State fan playing golf with a Michigan fan.” Same message, just lesser charged.

As an aside, if viewers are tuning in to a football game in attempts to get political insight from a country music artist, then this country has bigger concerns.

Nor do I refer to ESPN pulling the song as hypocritical, either. It is their prerogative after all, as a private business entity, to issue a pink slip to anything that could be detrimental to their company.

No, what I fi nd hypocritical is the reaction of people — ADL included — wanting to heap praise upon a sports network that makes millions of dollars televising organized legal violence — boxing, football and mixed martial arts are some of the sports that come to mind.

ESPN is a sports network accused of rampant gambling, drug use and sexual harassment in the book “ESPN: The Uncensored History” by former New York Times sportswriter Michael Freeman.

It’s a sports network owned by the Walt Disney Company, which has been accused in the past of human rights violations in its Chinese factories, and at one time, had some of its animated fi lms recalled due to some, um, unsavory hidden scenes. Readers may know some of the scenes I speak of — you know, the

1. What do you think about the future of football in the Big East?

Jason HoffmanOpinion editor

James SpragueChief reporter

Scott Winfi eldNews editor

Sam WeinbergSports editor Sports editor

Brittany York

It will look more like Conference USA than a BCS automatic qualifi er.

Mike Zimmer is a genius, and they are young enough to not know how bad they should be.

It’s better to let people think you’re an idiot than to open your mouth and prove them right.

Due to conference realignment, the quality of football will decrease if it can even survive the next fi ve years.

The only thing that has kept them from going 0-16 this season.

He could’ve used the analogy that would be like an Ohio State fan playing golf with a Michigan fan, and it would’ve illustrated the same point while being lesser politically charged.

I didn’t think much of the Big East to begin with, but if the Big East and Big 12 merge, expect competition to increase.

Give it time.

Confl icted. The analogy was a bit extreme, but I’m just upset MNF will no longer play the song. I don’t want that awful SNF Faith Hill song playing two nights in a row.

Who cares? The Big East is about basketball.

Besides Buff alo, every team they have played has been a bottom-10 off ense. Just wait.

Good riddance. I will miss his rowdy friends, though.

There will probably be a lot more Bearcat blowouts.

Gotta have something to keep hope alive.

Should have stuck to opening his mouth only to sing.
