National Pig Day is an event held annually on March 1, and Founders dining hall is celebrating by having a menu centered around the pig.

“This month we decided to use National Pig Day, and the menu will feature items that are associated with the pig,” said Adam Bohland, man-ager for Founders dining hall.

This will add a variation to the nor-mal menu, Bohland said.

“Every month, we come up with three monotony breaks,” he said.

“Basically we want to change up the menu and get away from having the same meals over and over. So three times a month we come up with a special theme.”

Freshman Dominique Hicks said she was shocked to hear this was a holiday, but is looking forward to a change in food.

“It’s quite interesting and I’m look-ing forward to the different food they will be having,” Hicks said.

Freshman John Anderson, how-ever, said he is indifferent to the holiday and thinks too much pork is unhealthy.

“National Pig Day is nothing spec-tacular. People eat pork every day, so having a meal centered around pigs is pointless,” he said. “I hope there are items for people who don’t want to eat pork.”

Bohland said Founders will still have options for those who don’t eat meat.

“Founders has always been vegetar-ian-friendly and (today) won’t be any different,” he said. “ We will of course have the full salad bar and stir fry as well as vegan grinders that people can choose from.”

When Greg Pugh produces ceramic art, he uses more than just skill. Cutting-edge tech-nology now allows Pugh and the ceramics research team to print 3-D clay structures.

The team, headed by ceramics profes-sor John Balistreri, uses a special type of printer, called a Z print 310+, to create 3-D objects in ceramics, according to www.ceramics3dprinting.com.

To create a 3-D copy, a file is first uploaded into Z-print software.

The software slices the image into hun-dreds of layers. The layers are then sent to the printer, where each is printed individually. The printed layers are glued together with a binder to form a 3-D object.

The 3-D printing machine itself, though, is not specific to the University.

“The original ideas were developed in 1986 by MIT and what BGSU did is we developed a product to work with the machine,” said

PART 1 OF 4

By Sean ShapiroWeb Editor

Anderson Arena has served as an athletic venue and con-cert hall and has housed com-mencement ceremonies since it opened in 1960.

“Almost every student who has stepped foot on campus has a memory of Anderson Arena,” said University Athletic Director Greg Christopher. “It’s been a place that has housed more than basketball and volleyball, but has been a venue for all types of events.”

Memorial Hall was the initial home of the Athletic Department, as the old football stadium used to be on the lawn that is now between the Education Building and the Jerome Library.

Legendary football coach Doyt Perry’s office now belongs to bas-ketball coaches Louis Orr and Curt Miller and the Army ROTC officers. Most of the coaches’ offices moved to Doyt Perry Stadium when it was built in 1966.

The Arena has its athletic high-lights, including coach Harold Anderson’s — whom the gym was named after in 1963 — NCAA tour-nament-bound teams in the 1960s,

Fran Voll’s rising of the women’s basketball program and Curt Miller’s current reign of the Mid-American Conference. And while Anderson Arena may not hold the capacity nor the accommodations of other college venues, it has been home to historic upsets in front of large, often loud crowds.

“It’s really a privilege for me to be a part of Anderson Arena’s illus-trious and long-term history,” Orr said. “They call it the ‘House that Roars.’ That’s because of the peo-ple, not because of the building. Because of the support ... We have some longtime fans who have been loyal supporters of the orange and brown and it’s been a privilege to be a part of that.”

The tradition of rabid, loud sup-port began Dec. 1, 1960, when the men’s basketball team secured a 79-45 victory against Hillsdale College in front of an enthusiastic

crowd and continued to bring the noise for the next five decades.

Jan. 7, 1961, witnessed the first sellout, and two years later the Falcons defeated then No. 2-ranked Loyola University of Chicago, a team which would go on to win the National Championship with only two losses that season.

Twenty-seven years later the Falcons would upset another national power, downing No. 5-ranked Michigan State 98-85, leading to the famous proclama-tion by coach Jud Heathcote that he’d never bring his team not only to Anderson Arena, but to any MAC gym.

Part of that promise held true, as Michigan State never returned to Anderson Arena, but will visit the Stroh Center next season.

Anderson Arena also holds the memories of many athletes who never made it to the college level, as it’s hosted the regional tourna-ment of Ohio high school basket-ball playoffs.

“Around March you’d see many people, most from little towns, making trips to BG,” said Clif

THE END OF AN ERA: ANDERSON ARENA SERIES

Editor’s note: Saturday at 1 p.m. the final regular season men’s basketball game in Anderson Arena will tip-off between Bowling Green and Buffalo. This will be the final stand of a sea-

son that’s been dubbed “Closing the Doors on the House that Roars.”And while men’s and women’s bas-ketball and volleyball teams will be moving to the soon-to-be-completed

Stroh Center, Memorial Hall, the building housing Anderson Arena, will continue to live on, still stand-ing as both a historical landmark on campus and a working building.

Pugh, a research technician and University graduate.

“Previously, this machine is designed to make proto-types — non-durable objects like architectural models, video game models, things you just want to see before they’re made.”

“We’re working on the powder,” he said. “We’re actually working on the material; we’re combining different clays and mix-tures and processing meth-ods to figure out the best way this machine will run a ceramic product.”

The department current-ly has two patents pend-ing, according to the web-site. One is for the powder and binding material and

the other is for adding a compression component to the printer, which helps strengthen the ceramics.

“There are a lot of uni-versities that have these machines, but not many are using ceramics,” Pugh said.

“They all print in the normal Z-corp. material, and that’s very expensive. It’ll cost over $4,000 to fill that machine with their (Z-corp.) binder and powder. With ours, we can fill the machine for somewhere around … $27.”

The 3-D printer is a rapid prototype machine. Rapid prototyping is a process of making models, as with architecture and industri-al processes.

An item is rendered on the computer and then made into the model. Traditionally, the products used to make the models

are temporary materials and not very durable.

But Balistreri has solved the durability problem.

“What we’ve figured out how to do is to run ceramics through there, and once the ceramics runs through the machine and gets fired into a kiln, then it’ll last for a hundred thousand years,” he said.

This research has many real-world applications, including industrial, bio-medical, aerospace and high temperature fluid technol-ogy, Balistreri said.

“You’d be able to grow tissue onto [the ceramic] because it has porosity, but it’s also ster-ile,” he said. “It has unlimited applications for biomedical.”

This year, the special top-ics course “Virtual form, Tangible Objects” gave 40 interested students an

opportunity to work with the 3-D printing machine, Balistreri said.

“One of the issues with the machine is that only so many jobs can be printed on it at one time,” he said. “So it’s a slow process of moving it into the curriculum.”

The printer only prints about an inch an hour, Pugh said, but often the product would take much longer to make by hand than to print.

“This process allows you to make things that could have never been made before. The kind of detail that’s happen-ing on many of the pieces could have never been made before now,” Balistreri said.

“The next phase is that we’re ready to commercialize the product. It’s finding a right fit with the right people to work with and then setting up an agreement.”

WASHINGTON — Anxious to ease deepening politi-cal tensions with the states, President Barack Obama on Monday told governors he wants to speed up their abil-ity to enforce his signature health care law on their own terms. But his concession goes only so far: He warned he won’t allow states to weak-en the law.

He also told them not to vilify their own states’ public workers while struggling with spending cuts.

Hosting governors of both parties on his own turf,

Obama offered them what they often request: more flexibility as they cope with painful budget dilemmas. Declaring that he would “go to bat for whatever works,” Obama supported letting states propose their own health care plans by 2014

— three years faster than the current law allows.

Yet this would be no change to the fundamental requirements of a federal law that has divided the nation and prompted about half the states to try to overturn it through lawsuits. To gain new powers, states would first have to convince Washington that their plans would cover

as many people, provide equally affordable and com-prehensive care and not add to the federal deficit.

More broadly, Obama sought to send a message

— both cooperative and pointed — as leaders at all levels of government grap-ple with huge economic pressures. The yearly gath-ering of the president and the state chief executives came as budget disputes are roiling, most notably in Wisconsin, where dramatic protests have raged for days.

Calling for shared sacrifice, Obama said public workers understand they must absorb their share of budget cuts. But

he delivered a sharp message to governors seeking to strip away union protections, say-ing: “I don’t think it does any-body any good when public employees are denigrated or vilified, or their rights are infringed upon.”

Wisconsin’s governor, Scott Walker, was not at the White House but rather in his home state as a nation-ally watched budget show-down rolled on. He called for Democratic lawmak-ers to return to the state by Tuesday and vote on his bill that would end most col-lective bargaining rights for public employees as part of a plan to plug a $3.6 billion

Obama: Flexibility OK, but health care law remains

President supports individual state proposals by 2014, but no fundamental changesBy David A Lieb and Dinesh

RamdeThe Associated Press

M A DISON, Wis.— Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker called for runaway Democratic lawmakers to return to the state by Tuesday and vote on his bill that would end most col-lective bargaining rights for public employees or else the state stood to lose out on a refinancing plan that would save 1,500 employ-ees their jobs.

Speaking in La Crosse on Monday, Walker said the state faced “dire con-sequences” unless the 14 state senators return from their nearly two weeks away. His comments came as he planned to deliver his two-year budget plan in the state Assembly chamber Tuesday afternoon. He has said that plan will help make clear why the collective bargain-ing concessions he is seeking from public employees are necessary to help plug a $3.6 billion shortfall.

Walker has said his bud-get will include about a $1 billion cut in state aids to schools and local govern-ments. He is also expected to propose dramatic chang-es to how the University of Wisconsin is organized, make cuts to Medicaid and possibly increase fees to help raise money.

The budget repair bill pending before the Senate calls for refinancing state debt to save $165 million by July 1, but in order to meet a March 16 deadline to get the work done the bill has to pass by Tuesday. Walker’s office issued a statement Monday saying “more pain-ful and aggressive spend-ing cuts” will be needed if it doesn’t pass.

Walker has also warned that he will start issuing lay-off notices to state workers as soon as this week if the bill isn’t passed, but he hasn’t said who would be target-ed. Schools started putting teachers on notice last week that they could be laid off given the uncertainty over the budget.

Also Monday, police said that cleaning of the Capitol was proceeding despite the continued presence of pro-testers in the building, as were security preparations for Walker’s budget speech. But they also denied Capitol access to more pro-testers and other members of the public because of

a dispute with protesters inside over which floor they could occupy.

Police decided not to forc-ibly remove protesters after thousands ignored a 4 p.m. Sunday deadline to leave so the normally immacu-late building could get a thorough cleaning. Capitol Police Chief Charles Tubbs said no demonstrators will be arrested as long as they continue to obey the law.

“People here have acted lawfully and responsibly,” Tubbs said. “There’s no rea-son to consider arrests.”

The floors where several hundred protesters had slept previous nights looked unusually bare late Sunday as the smaller crowd of peo-ple walked around in socks, lounged on blankets and curled up under jackets.

But organizers said they were confident that dem-onstrators who were per-suaded to leave Sunday would return to keep fight-ing Walker’s efforts to strip nearly all public workers of their collective bargain-ing rights except over wages. Protesters have staged a sit-in that began Feb. 15 and hit its peak Saturday, when more than 70,000 people descended on the Capitol grounds for a rally.

Walker argues that his measure would help close a projected $3.6 billion defi-cit in the 2011-13 budget. He believes that freeing local governments from having to collectively bargain with public employee unions would give them the flex-ibility needed to deal with forthcoming budget cuts.

Labor leaders and Democratic lawmakers say the bill is intended to under-mine the unions and weak-en a key base of Democratic Party voters.

Paul Golueke, 24, a social worker from Milwaukee, said he planned to stay at the Capitol until at least Tuesday’s budget address.

“If the budget contains provisions like in this bud-get-repair bill, I’ll stay here as long as it takes,” Golueke said. “Scott Walker doesn’t understand our passion. The eyes of the nation, of the world, are on us and we can’t

Graduations, concerts and American presidents were also celebrated in the same gym where crowds celebrat-ed athletic accolades.

Performing artists such as Aerosmith, Bob Seger, the Black Eyed Peas and Foreigner have rocked the arena in the past. At the time, Foreigner was still an

unknown British rock group, performing its first show on North American soil in 1977.

But, perhaps the closest the building came to nation-al prominence occurred when President Gerald Ford spoke there in 1976 — and the Secret Service thought a national nightmare was about to occur.

“A girl went to take a pic-ture and her f lash bulb exploded,” Boutelle said.

“The Secret Service, just doing their job, dove on the president, rushed him to safet y and pounced on this poor girl … and it was just her trying to take a picture.”

I understand. Sometimes no one wants to be at their job. That is a natural feeling. However, one particular office at the University is absolutely pathetic. Every time I come into this office, you stare at me like I have three eyes and then sigh at me before rudely saying, “What do you need? ” What I need you to do is stop being such a BIOTCH and answer a quick question for me.

Why do you have to complain about EVERYTHING, even things that do not have any negative impact on your life?

Have you ever wondered what true glamour is? I imag-ine Cate Blanchett wonders what true glamour is each day, judging from the “fancy toilet seat cover” ensemble she wore last night at the Oscars. It is quite apparent she is still struggling to find the answer.

The Oscars is said to be Holly wood’s biggest night. And in Hollywood, fashion and the red car-pet play a mighty role in the overall Oscar awards atmosphere for many celebrities and designers.

Just in case you missed the excitement on the red carpet, here is a recap of my opinion on the best and worst dressed people at the Oscars 2011.

Best and Worst Dressed Female:This category may be the

toughest to judge consider-ing the women on the red carpet are the main focus

and are wearing many top designer gowns and dresses.

The best dressed female at the Oscars 2011 was Halle Berry. She wore a beautiful nude and crystal gown with very detailed, sophisticated jewelry. Berry showed a unique representation of old-Hollywood glam mixed with a modern twist.

The worst dressed female of the night was Cate Blanchett. Cate was wearing a Givenchi Haute couture gown embedded with pearls and beads throughout. It may sound divine, but the gown is actually wretched. However, these glistening beads could not make up for the overall strange appear-ance. This particular gown is not what I envision as red carpet worthy.

Best and Worst Dressed Male:The best dressed male

at the Oscars 2011 with-

out a doubt goes to Justin Timberlake in his custom-fit Tom Ford tuxedo. Justin looked very handsome from head to toe. I believe his well-kept hint of facial hair and the well-fitted tuxedo truly made him stand out and gave him a very classy, red carpet look.

The worst dressed male of the night was Russell Brand. Brand wore a navy-blue and black plaid shirt with a black collar. In addition, Brand sported navy-blue pants and a navy-blue jacket. Brand also showed off his greasy hair. Very greasy hair.

Anne Hathaway and James Franco:Anne Hathaway has nat-

ural beauty, but failed to appeal to many when first arriving on the red car-pet. Hathaway wore a red, Valentino Garvani dress. What made this all unap-pealing was the coordina-

tion of the red color in the dress, lipstick, nails and the red carpet. However, Hathaway redeemed herself later in the evening when she appeared on stage in a vanilla-colored Givenchy Haute Couture gown by Riccardo Tisci. This dress was the perfect represen-tation of Hollywood glam which is a more than appro-priate look for the big event.

Franco exuded sophisti-cation throughout the film industry’s largest event. Franco looked stunning in several of his custom-fit Gucci tuxedos. Franco also showed his Oscar class while sporting a pink silk dress during the awards show. Franco’s stunning pink dress truly could have won the evening wear por-tion of any pageant.

The Oscars 2011 can be compared to prom night. It is usually all about the ladies, but it is nice to give the men some attention too.

Eye sores, fashion couture highlight Academy Awards’ red carpet

By Andraya Mays, The News Record (University of

Cincinnati)College News Network

TLC’s infamous “Police Women of [City]” franchise has finally made its way to Cincinnati.

As a native of the Queen City, I was excited to watch the show’s premiere. Cincinnati is a regular on A&E’s “The First 48,” but

“Police Women of Cincinnati” offers a more personal and feminine look at what’s going on beneath the city’s surface. This season profiles four Cincinnati police offi-cers: Sgt. Tia Pearson, Officer Colleen Deegan, Officer Mandy Curfiss and Officer Rose Valentino.

Thus far, the women have encountered a slew of unique situations from rou-

tine traffic stops to sketchy crack houses and brothels. I’ve lived here all my life and have never seen a lot of the stuff that they’ve brought to light.

Officer Deegan, a member of the Central Vice Squad, has done a few sting opera-tions aimed at finding drug dealers, prostitutes and their potential customers. In one instance, she investigated a house where she and her squad knew a lot of illegal activity was taking place.

After a lengthy investiga-tion, the squad raided the house and arrested everyone

inside. Later, they entered the house and it was absolutely filthy, with trash and drug paraphernalia everywhere. Most shocking was the dog-house in the back — where prostitutes entertained their

“Johns.” I couldn’t believe anyone would actually sit in the small, wooden box, much less have an intimate moment there.

Aside from the crimes, we get to know the officers. Officer Pearson discusses her fiancé, Adrian, who is also a police officer, and we get to see her go shopping for a wedding dress with her

mother. Valentino tells about her daughter whom she said

“Good night” to as she headed out for her midnight shift.

At the end of each episode, it makes me feel ready to change my career goal and join the police alongside these wonderful women. To see beautiful women doing a job that is male-dominated and doing it so well is empowering. They are enforcing laws and try-ing to make the streets of a city they care so much about safer for the families who live here.

All of the women are a little feisty and don’t let anyone push them around — a les-son that all women can take from the show. If you haven’t already, check it out every Thursday night on TLC. I’ll certainly be tuning in for the rest of the season.

‘Police Women of Cincinnati’ offers inspiration to women

Report: Iran opposition leaders jailed

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iranian authorities have taken senior opposition leaders Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mahdi Karroubi to a prison in Tehran, a reformist website reported Monday.

Kaleme.com said Mousavi, his wife Zahra Rahnavard, as well as Karroubi and his wife, Fatemeh Karroubi, were transferred to Heshmatieh prison in the Iranian capital. The men had been under house arrest for more than two weeks. The report said it was not immediately clear when they were transferred to the prison.

The semiofficial Fars news agency, which is close to the powerful Revolutionary Guard, denied that Mousavi and Karroubi had been jailed. Fars quoted an unnamed judiciary official as saying the two opposi-tion leaders were still under house arrest and have not been allowed to leave their homes or contact the outside world.

Calls placed by The Associated Press to judiciary officials went unanswered.

But the imprisonment of Mousavi and Karroubi marks a major escalation of Iran’s political crisis amid defiant calls from the opposition to stand up to the ruling system.

Netanyahu: Can’t ignore pressure over settlements

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said international pressure against construction in West Bank settlements cannot be ignored, indicating that build-ing could be curbed.

Netanyahu spoke to party members in the parliament Monday, after the U.S. vetoed a Palestinian-backed resolution in the U.N. Security Council calling the settlements illegal.

Netanyahu said: “We are trying to maintain existing con-struction, but we must under-stand that we are facing a very difficult international reality,” suggesting that new projects might not be approved.

Netanyahu said Israel could continue “banging our heads into the wall, but that’s not how I do things.”

The issue of construction in the settlements led to the col-lapse of Israel-Palestinian peace talks last year.

Singer Furtado to donate money from Gadhafi

TORONTO (AP) — Canadian pop singer Nelly Furtado said she was paid $1 million to perform for members of Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi’s “clan” in 2007, but she now intends to donate the money to charity.

While other stars who reportedly performed for Gadhafi’s family have kept mum, Furtado volunteered the information about her perfor-mance on Twitter.

“In 2007, I received 1million$[sic] from the (Gadhafi) clan to perform a 45 min. Show for guests at a hotel in Italy,” she wrote on Monday. “I am going to donate the $[sic].”

Beyonce and Usher report-edly performed at a New Year’s Eve party for Gadhafi’s son Muatassim on the Caribbean island of St. Barts, while R&B singer Mariah Carey was hired to sing at a previous New Year’s bash.

Gadhafi’s nurse: Journalists, go awayBROVARY, Ukraine (AP)

— Moammar Gadhafi’s Ukrainian nurse has left the disorder of Libya behind, but life isn’t peace-ful for her in her homeland where she faces importuning journalists.

Halyna Kolotnytska arrived in Ukraine Sunday and is staying with her daughter and her moth-er in their modest apartment in a 5-story building in the town of Brovary near Kiev.

On Monday, she emerged from the apartment with her mother to run an errand. She was faced with journalists avid to interview her as she was return-ing home. She exclaimed: “Don’t you understand that I won’t be speaking to you!”

The brief encounter was shown on Ukrainian television.

A U.S. diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks last year said Kolotnytska always traveled with Gadhafi because she “knows his routine.”

Minister follows PM in resigning from Tunisia govt

TUNIS, Tunisia — Another minister in Tunisia’s caretaker government has resigned, a day after the prime minister bowed out following a wave of deadly protests.

Industry and Technology Minister Afif Chelbi presented his resignation Monday.

Mohamed Ghannouchi quit Sunday af ter 11 years as prime minister.

Outside parliament, youths joined large police patrols to help keep the peace in Tunisia’s tense capital after a weekend of pro-tests and clashes with riot police left at least six people dead, opposition leaders said.

Tunis saw no new major dem-onstrations Monday.

In nearby Ben Arous, an industrial zone, authorities sus-pended public schools following weekend violence, the official TAP news agency reported. One person was killed while pillaging stores and several “delinquents” were arrested, the agency said.

Car runs down demonstrators in Brazil

SAO PAULO (AP) — A motorist has run his car through a crowd of about 100 pro-bicycle activists in southern Brazil, hitting and injuring at least 16. Police in the city of Porto Allegre said the man is being questioned.

Video of the incident shows bicycles and riders flying through the air as fellow cyclists scream in panic. None were killed.

Police have not released the driver’s name.

Cyclists in the Critical Mass ride tell the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper that the man argued with some riders, who had taken over all lanes of the street on Friday.

The video shows the car accelerating through the pack of riders, leaving the injured on the street screaming as fellow cyclists administered first aid.

TRIPOLI, Libya — International pressure on Moammar Gadhafi to end his crack-down on opponents escalated Monday as his loyalists closed in on rebel-held cities nearest the capital. The U.S. moved naval and air forces closer to Libya and said all options were open, including the use of warplanes to patrol the North African nation’s skies and pro-tect citizens threatened by their leader.

France said it would fly aid to the opposition-controlled eastern half of the country. The European Union imposed an arms embargo and other sanctions, following the lead of the U.S. and the U.N. The EU was also considering the creation of a no-fly zone over Libya. And the U.S. and Europe were freezing billions in Libya’s foreign assets.

“Gadhafi has lost the legiti-macy to govern, and it is time for him to go without fur-

ther violence or delay,” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said. “No option is off the table. That of course includes a no-fly zone,” she added. British Prime Minister David Cameron told lawmakers: “We do not in any way rule out the use of military assets” to deal with Gadhafi’s regime.

Gadhafi, who in the past two weeks has launched the most brutal crackdown of any Arab regime facing a wave of popular uprisings, laughed off a question from ABC News about whether he would step down as the Obama adminis-tration demands.

“My people love me. They would die for me,” he said. ABC reported that Gadhafi

invited the U.N. or any other organization to Libya on a fact-finding mission.

The turmoil in the oil-rich nation roiled markets for another day. Libya’s oil chief said production had been cut by around 50 percent, denting supplies that go pri-marily to Europe.

The uprising that began Feb. 15 has posed most seri-ous challenge to Gadhafi in his more than four decades in power. His bloody crack-down has left hundreds, and perhaps thousands, dead. But clashes appear to have eased considerably in the past few days after plane-loads of foreign journalists arrived in the capital at the government’s invitation.

Gadhafi’s forces close in on rebel-held cities

SOHAR, Oman (AP) — Protesters set a supermar-ket ablaze and rallied at two places in this seaside town on Monday in a third consecutive day of unrest that has included deadly clashes in the strategic Gulf nation.

Security forces sealed off main roads to Sohar, about 120 miles (200 kilometers) north-west of the capital of Muscat, in an attempt to isolate the protesters and keep crowds from swelling.

Omar al-Abri, an official at the state-run Oman News Agency, said one person was confirmed dead Sunday after police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse hundreds of demonstrators in Sohar.

Witnesses said a supermar-ket was set on fire Monday and several hundred protest-ers — mostly young men

— were rallying in the town’s main roundabout, demand-ing higher salaries, jobs for unemployed youth and the

dismissal of some govern-ment ministers.

By late afternoon, protests spread to Sohar’s port — Oman’s second largest. Witnesses said about 500 protesters blocked trucks from entering the port, about 8 miles (12 kilometers) from protest’s focal point at the roundabout.

Police did not respond to Monday’s protests, wit-nesses said.

State media reported Sohar’s civilian guards, includ-ing members of women’s associations, repelled pro-testers’ attempts to set fire to a health center and several commercial sites.

Oman, ruled by a power-ful family dynasty, marks the latest flashpoint in the Arab world’s challenges to authority and suggests that demonstra-tions could widen in the Gulf with protest rallies planned next month in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Oman shares control with

Iran over the Strait of Hormuz at the mouth of the Gulf — the route for about 40 percent of the world’s oil-tanker traffic. Oman also plays an important role as a mediator between Iran and the West because of its strong ties to Tehran and Washington.

Government media said Oman’s ruler, Sultan Qaboos bin Said, met Monday with a senior U.S. envoy, Jeffrey Feltman, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, to discuss “ongoing events and developments” in the region. No other details of the talks were given.

In Washington, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the U.S. has been in contact with the Omani government and has encouraged Muscat “to undertake reforms that include economic oppor-tunity and move towards greater inclusion and partici-pation in a peaceful political

Tuesday, March 1, 2011 6SPORTSRecords fall as swim team finishes in tie for sixth at MAC Championships

By Matt NyeReporter

The Falcon swim team traveled to Athens, Ohio, to compete in the 2011 Mid-American Conference Championships.

BG swimmers broke some University records and recorded a sixth place finish overall, tying with Akron.

Ohio University finished first while Toledo finished second. The championships covered four days of events.

BG coach Petra Martin said she was excited to see records broken for the Falcons.

“I thought we did a really good job and we are moving in the right direction as a program,” Martin said.

Day oneThe night started off with a pair

of relay races of which BG finished fifth in both.

In the 200 medley relay, the team of Alexa Harris, Alexis Kain, Vicky Yu and Sarah Reinink beat the Falcons’ season-best time by more than two seconds with a finish of 1:43.03.

The final race was the 800 free-style relay, which BG raced once in the regular season. The team of Andrea Brown, Yu, Emily Bennet and Megan Bomicino shaved 21 seconds from the previous time and finished fifth.

Day twoThe school record for the 200

freestyle that was set two years ago in the 2009 MAC Championships

fell on day two. The previous record, set by the 2009 team that included current swimmers Carrie Enright and Reinink, was broken by this year’s team of Enright and Reinink, as well as Bennet and Brittany Szekely.

The team beat the NCAA’s “B” standard time for championship qualifying. The team won the only medal for the Falcons in the entire meet, earning a silver medal for

THROWING HEAT: Sophomore Nick Bruns delivers a pitch in a game last spring.

By Michele WysockiReporter

The Falcons earned their first win Sunday to finish their series 1-3 against Murray State University.

Friday’s game was canceled due to thunderstorms, causing both teams to play a doubleheader Saturday afternoon.

BG concluded the series with a seven-inning game Sunday that was cut short due to rain.

“The team did a great job,” said BG coach Danny Schmitz. “I was pleased with the pitching; we got three quality starts.”

Cody Apthorpe earned the start for the first game of the double-header Saturday.

Apthorpe pitched for four innings, striking out five batters and allowing two hits and three earned runs. His four walks all resulted in runs scored, giving Murray State the lead.

The Falcons stepped up in the top of the third inning, scoring two runs, cutting Murray State’s lead down by half.

Michael Frank entered the game in the fifth inning to relieve Apthorpe.

During the seventh inning, sophomore Andrew Kuns added to the score board with an RBI single, making the score 4-3. In the eighth, Frank allowed a leadoff double then walked a batter. Frank gave up a

two-RBI double, sending Murray State into the ninth inning with a 6-3 lead, which was the final.

Game two was only scheduled for seven innings, but it took nine to decide a winner. BG started strong with a run in the first inning, but it was no match for MSU’s three runs in the bottom of the first.

Kuns brought lead-off man Ryan Schlater around for an RBI and the lead for the Falcons, but BG lost 4-3.

Sophomore right-handed pitcher Nick Bruns pitched four innings and allowed three runs on five hits.

Murray State scored a run in the bottom of the ninth on a pinch-hit against left-handed relief pitcher Patrick Martin.

“We played well defensively,” Schmitz said. “Offensively, we had a couple of physical errors that need to be corrected. We will continue to work on situations. There are plays

SENIOR: Joe Jakubowski runs the offense in a game at Toledo earlier this season. Jakubowski, along with Mike Dabney, will be honored at tonight’s game.

By Paul BarneySports Editor

It’s been an up and down season for the BG men’s basketball team.

After a 1-8 start, the Falcons won 11 of their next 15 games and were near the top of the Mid-American Conference East standings.

Then something happened.Rebounding issues and a struggle to

defend the perimeter has plagued BG over the last couple of weeks as it has lost five straight games, dropping the Falcons (12-17, 7-7) in a tie with Buffalo for fifth in the MAC East.

BG has two regular-season games left, starting tonight at 7:30 against Kent State.

And with two games, coach Louis Orr is not ready to reflect on the season.

“The season’s a marathon,” Orr said. “When you run a marathon it’s never where you start it’s where you finish. There are important games to play and a lot of things we can accomplish.

“The season is no more than a metaphor for life. You have to per-severe through the trials and the tribulations.”

Tonight’s game against the Golden Flashes will be Senior Night for the Falcons’ two seniors, Joe Jakubowski and Mike Dabney.

Jakubowski took over as the start-ing point guard midway through his freshman year and has become a pinnacle to the men’s basketball team — ranking sixth in career assists, eighth in career 3-pointers made and 10th in career steals.

“I give honor to Joe,” Orr said. “We came in together. I have a lot of respect and appreciation for Joe Jakubowski.”

Dabney, a walk-on senior, has played minimal minutes this season,

“We need to take advantage of these opportunities and drive players in.”

Chiricosta breaks singles record as BG defeats Detroit 6-1By Paul Barney

Sports Editor

It’s been a season of milestones for senior Christine Chiricosta.

A f ter becom i ng t he winningest player in BG ten-nis history earlier this season, Chiricosta etched her name into the singles wins record by becoming the career leader in that category as the Falcons won 6-1 at Detroit on Sunday.

Chiricosta defeated Carolina

Salas Espinosa 2-6, 6-3, 1-0 and won the tiebreaker 10-8 to give her 82 career singles wins, passing Stefanie Menoff who had 81 singles wins from 2006-09.

“It’s an amazing record that she’s broken,” said coach Penny Dean.

“In the history of Bowing Green ten-nis; [Christine’s] desire and tough-ness is unmatched.”

Chiricosta’s singles win against Detroit was the first of five for BG, including four in straight sets, as it improved to 8-3 in dual-match play

this season and has won four of its last five matches.

The Falcons got off to a strong start by sweeping all three dou-bles flights.

Chiricosta and Maddy Eccleston defeated Amanda Cornwell and Salas Espinosa 8-6 as the BG duo has won their last five doubles matches.

Dean made a switch at the sec-ond and third doubles flights by pairing sophomores Katie Grubb and Jade Johnson at the sec-ond-flight and freshman Nikki Chiricosta and sophomore Mary Hill at the third-flight.

Grubb and Johnson defeated the Titan duo of Erin Weldon and Julia Fernandes 8-3, while Nikki Chiricosta and Hill swept Elena Strakhova and Raina Halabi 8-0.

The Falcons carried their momentum from doubles over to singles, where Nikki Chiricosta, Hill, Eccleston and freshman Emily Reuland all found success with Christine Chiricosta.

Falcons win first game of season, drop series to Murray State

Men’s basketball hosts Kent State on Senior Night

but had career highs of seven points, four rebounds and three blocked shots in BG’s win over Eastern Michigan earlier this season.

“[Dabney] helped us win some games,” Orr said. “He’s a guy that has risen to the level and I commend him.”

Kent State enters tonight’s game 19-10 overall, 10-4 in the MAC, and is tied with Miami for first in the East Division.

The Golden Flashes defeated the Falcons 80-63 on Jan. 11 as five players scored in double figures, led by Michael Porrini’s game-high 21 points.

Kent State boasts the fifth-best scoring offense in the MAC and is a team that goes after offensive rebounds, which causes a problem for BG, which is 11th in the conference in rebounding margin.

“Overall, they’re probably the

best offensive rebounding team in our league, and we haven’t been rebounding the ball well,” Orr said.

“They’re going to attack you, they will look for high-lows. We have to do a good job inside-out. We have to guard the three-point line [and] we have to rebound the defensive boards.

“We know what’s at stake for us. Like every game this time of year we’re all playing for something.”

“The season is no more than a metaphor for life.

You have to persevere through the trials and

the tribulations.”Louis Orr | Coach

Proehl, Lines get All-Tournament honors as BG goes 1-4 at Phyllis Rafter Memorial

By Bryan FilipponiReporter

The softball team finished Sunday in the Phyllis Rafter Memorial with a non-confer-ence game against fellow Mid-American Conference oppo-nent Ball State.

The Falcons began the game strong by putting up six runs in the first inning off six hits and two errors.

However, the early 6-0 lead proved not to be enough as Ball State brought one back in the first, took the lead with seven in the second inning and scored one run in the fourth to

close out the game on a 9-0 unanswered run to beat the Falcons 9-6.

The team earned nine hits in Friday’s win. Rachel Proehl, Erika Stratton and Missy Bowman all went 2-for-3 for the game.

The Falcons went 1-4 in the Phyllis Rafter Memorial, as lack of consistency continued to hurt the team early on in the season.

BG’s only win in the tour-nament was against Georgia State by a 4-3 margin.

The Falcons’ first win did not come easy, however, as they battled back by scoring three runs in the fifth inning

to take the 4-3 lead on their way to the victory.

Proehl went 8-for-15 at the plate on the weekend with a .533 average, scor-ing four runs and driving in another.

In three of the five games she had multiple hits, including back-to-back 2-for-3 performances against Mississippi State and Georgia State.

Zada Lines, who earned the Falcons’ their first win of the season, went 1-1 in the tourna-ment, throwing a 2.03 ERA.

Lines recorded seven strikeouts and surrendered only three hits in the victory

against Georgia State. Lines had 11 strikeouts

in 10 1/3 innings and only gave up two extra base hits on the weekend.

Both Proehl and Lines were named to the Phyllis Rafter Memorial All-Tournament Team.

BG returns to the diamond in the Comfort Inn Softball Classic in Morehead, Ky. on March 5 and 6.

RachelProehlWent 8-for-15 at the plate for a .533 average

“It was a good feeling to compete that well in singles and doubles,” Dean said.

Nikki Chiricosta and Reuland enjoyed a fast start to their collegiate careers, combining for 65 wins this season.

“The freshmen have helped the team out a lot,” Dean said. “They both have adjusted to the grind. They both compete very hard.”

The Falcons don’t com-

pete again until March 19 when they travel to Youngstown State before opening Mid-American Conference play March 25 at Buffalo.

With the success BG has had this season, Dean doesn’t like having the break, but because of the

“grind” of the season, he said the team needs a men-tal and physical break.

After spring break, the Falcons will resume prac-tice and get ready for YSU, which Dean said will be a good match before head-ing into conference play.

RECAP From Page 6

that should have been made, they are little mistakes that we need to work on. This week will be concentrating on what I like to call the three phases: pitching, defense and hitting.”

Sunday ended on a short note due to rain.

BG and MSU only played seven innings, with the Falcons earning their first sea-son win 4-2.

Murray State followed suit and went for three games with runs in the first inning. Senior right-handed pitcher Charles Wooten got the start and struggled early by hitting the first batter and throwing a wild pitch.

BG got the offense rolling in the fourth inning and didn’t stop until the sixth.

Duncan led off the fourth inning with a single to right center. Duncan stole second and advanced to third on a ground out. He then headed home on a wild pitch.

In the fifth, the Falcons had two men in scoring position when Martin hit a triple to the left center gap, allowing two runs to score.

MSU answered with a run in the bottom of the fifth, but a Frank Berry home run in the top of the eighth put BG ahead before the game was called.

“The players played their best Sunday,” Schmitz said.

“The more we get outside, the better we get.”

However, the Falcons stranded 20 base runners in the series.

“We need to take advan-tage of these opportuni-ties and drive players in,” Schmitz said. “We want to get our hitters hitting, plenty of swings. We need to work on our bunts, we were a little anxious out there; it’s time to get back on track.”

The team plans to get some practice outdoors this week in preparation for their annual spring break trip.

The Falcons will head to Winter Haven, Fla., to par-ticipate in the RussMatt Invitational, the team’s third consecutive appearance. The team will open against Xavier University on Saturday.

their efforts.Two Falcons, Harris and

Sarah Burston, both qualified for the 200 IM championship race. Harris finished eighth and Burston finished 16th, both earning points for BG. They were seventh heading into day three.

Day threeThe Falcons didn’t

improve in the standings, but they did break two more school records.

Kain has dominated this season in the breaststroke events and once again didn’t disappoint in the championships.

She set the record time for the 100 breaststroke and also met the “B” qualifying stan-dard for the NCAA champi-onships. In the preliminary race, Kain eclipsed fellow teammate Amanda Rom’s school record time by just under a second. In the final

she finished fourth, which again beat the record time she set earlier.

Kain was also a part of the other record-breaking event in the 400 medley relay. She combined with Harris, Burston and Bennet to break the school record that was set two years ago.

Day fourOn Saturday night, Kain

breezed by her previous best time in the 200 breaststroke event. In the final, she set another BG record, beat-ing her previous best time by seven seconds and plac-ing fourth. In the same race, Amanda Rom qualified for the “B” standard in the 200, finishing fifth-place.

Yu met the “B” standard in the 200 butterfly and almost broke her own school record.

Resulting from these cham-pionships, several Falcons could have the opportunity to travel down to Austin, Texas for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. Five different times beat the NCAA

“B” standards to qualify.If swimmers meet the “A”

standards they qualify auto-matically, but meeting the “B” standards means the NCAA only takes a certain number who qualified.

Kain has two chances to qualify.

“We broke some records and it was really exciting to see,” Martin said. “We still need to grow and learn moving forward [and] recruit quality people that will make us bet-ter in championships. Overall, it was a great season.”

Unborn child to ‘testify’ on upcoming Ohio abortion bill

By Julie Carr SmythThe Associated Press

COLUMBUS — A fetus has been scheduled as a leg-islative witness in Ohio on a unique bill that proposes outlawing abortions after the first heartbeat can be medi-cally detected.

Faith2Action, the anti-abor-

tion group that has targeted Ohio to pilot the measure, called the in-utero witness, the youngest to ever come before the House Health Committee at nine weeks old.

Faith2Action President Janet Folger Porter said the intent is to show lawmakers who will be affected by the bill, which is opposed by Ohio Right to Life

and abortion rights groups as unconstitutional.

An aide to committee Chairman Lynn Wachtmann said a pregnant woman will be brought before the com-mittee and an ultrasound image of her uterus will be projected onto a screen. The heartbeat of the fetus will be visible in color.

CLEVELAND (AP) — An autopsy report indicates a caretaker mauled by a cap-tive bear near Cleveland had at least 200 puncture wounds, hundreds more bruises and

cuts and two fractured ribs.The bear attacked 24-year-

old Brent Kandra after he opened its cage for a feeding Aug. 19 at the home of a man who kept wolves, tigers and

bears on property southwest of Cleveland.

The Cuyahoga County coroner determined Kandra's death was a work-place accident.
