The fi rst-ever, all-female town hall meeting was held at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center in Cincinnati Saturday.

Speakers at the non-partisan event addressed a host of issues that would directly affect women in this year’s election. Attendees were invited to discuss the issues in a roundtable setting and vote on possible solutions using electronic remotes.

“[The issues] are universal for me, because I’ve long contended in my more than 30 years as a journalist that every issue’s a woman’s issue,” said Connie Schultz, journalist and wife of Senator Sherrod Brown (Ohio-D). Women’s issues are everyone’s issues, and it’s important to make that distinction, Schultz said.

“We have about 150 women here to tell us what their priorities are for the elections in 2012,” said Katie Stanton, online communications manager for the Young Women’s Christian Association, the organization that hosted the event.

The meeting is a bi-partisan event designed to give women a chance to sit down and discuss issues that concern women in this year’s election, said Robin Scullin, director of communications for the YWCA.

“I think the media are characterizing this campaign and recent policies as a war on women,” Scullin said. “It hasn’t really

impacted us because we keep working on the same things, which is voter education, health care, empowering women, and eliminating racism.”

“We try to see what the people in this room think are the best policy solutions, that’s why they have these little buttons,” Scullin said. “They’re voting on the policy options that they think are going to serve women and their families best.”

The results of the polls would be tallied in real time and released at the end of the event, Scullin said.

“Women aren’t only consumers of healthcare,” said Dara Richardson-Heron, CEO of the YWCA. “Women actually make 80 percent of household health care decisions for their children, spouses and parents.”

Limiting access to contraception and at the same time eliminating access to safe, affordable, healthy abortions to women who need them are big missteps being made by politicians today, Schultz said.

“You are engaging in a war on women. You can look at what’s happening in the state of Ohio, and this is to me very much a partisan issue,” Schultz said. “In the fi rst year and a half of this state legislature, more anti-abortion legislation was introduced than in the previous ten years. That, to me, looks like they are targeting women. It’s incontrovertible.”

Affordable healthcare is important to women because women often don’t look

after themselves until all their loved ones are taken care of fi rst, Schultz said.

“We are taking care of the world, and so we need the resources to take care of ourselves,” Schultz said. “Everyone benefi ts when women are healthy.”

Donna Marsh, 52, of Cincinnati, said she liked the format of the meeting because it gave everybody a chance to speak and be heard.

“It’s balanced,” Marsh said. “It doesn’t leave anybody out.”

The University of Cincinnati football team defeated the Virginia Tech Hokies, 27-24, at Fed Ex Field in Landover, Md., Saturday.

UC secured the victory in dramatic fashion, as senior wide receiver Damon Julian hauled in a sprawling 39-yard-touchdown pass from quarterback Munchie Legaux with 13 seconds remaining in the game.

The victory will help bring UC back into the national picture, said Cincinnati head Coach Butch Jones.

“It’s a credibility win. Virginia Tech is a very, very talented football team,” Jones said. “To go on the road and beat a team like Virginia Tech from the ACC, that played in the ACC Championship last year, is a big win for us.”

After a pair of three-and-outs to start the game, Legaux connected with senior wide receiver Kembrell Tompkins on a 37-yard strike to break into VT territory for the fi rst time.

UC advanced to the Hokies’ 5-yard line, but was forced settle for a 20-yard, upright glancing, fi eld goal from sophomore kicker Tony Miliano.

UC senior defensive lineman Dan Giordano forced VT receiver Corey Fuller to fumble two possessions later and Cameron

Cheatham recovered, giving Cincinnati the ball at the Hokies’ 11-yard line.

It appeared Cincinnati scored on the next play, with Ralph David Abernathy IV taking a reverse into the endzonoe; However, Legaux was called for holding and UC was backed up to the VT 20-yard line

Miliano lined up for a 36-yard fi eld goal, but UC head coach Butch Jones gambled and opted to go for a fake fi eld goal. Backup quarterback Brendan Kay connected with junior defensive lineman Silverberry Mouhon, who came up three yards short of a fi rst down.

UC’s defense forced its third three-and-out of the game following the turnover and the fi rst quarter ended with UC leading 3-0.

The Bearcats advanced past the VT 20-yard line for the third time on the following drive, but again were denied a touchdown. Miliano came on to make his second fi eld goal of the game, easily converting from 43-yards out to give UC a 6-0 with 8 minutes and 25 seconds remaining in the fi rst half.

The Hokies fi nally gained a fi rst down at the 5 minute and 17 second mark of the second quarter, but the UC defense held on the next set of downs and forced VT into its fi fth punt of the game.

Just two plays later, Legaux’s pass was tipped and intercepted by Kris Harley and the Hokies took over at the UC 15-yard line.

Hokie quarterback Logan Thomas scored on fourth and two from the UC 4-yard line, giving Hokies a 7-6 lead.

UC benefi ted from two drive extending penalties on its following drive, but a pair of dropped passes forced the Bearcats to punt with 1 minute and 9 seconds left in the Quarter.

Despite totaling only 72 total yards of offense and just two fi rst downs in the half, VT went into halftime with a 7-6 lead.

Legaux orchestrated his most consistent drive of the game on UC’s second possession of the half. The 6’5 junior completed 4-6 pass attempts, including a 29-yard-scoring strike to Tompkins, who fi nished with a career high 134 yards receiving.

The Hokies answered immediately, as Thomas connected with Marcus Davison on a 50-yard completion to advance it to the UC 4-yard line. However, an untimely holding penalty on the next play negated a VT touchdown and UC junior safety Arryan Chenault capitalized, intercepting a bobbled Thomas pass inside the 5-yard line.

VT put together a strong offensive drive of the game at the end of the third quarter, but the UC defense forced the Hokies to settle for a fi eld goal. UC led 13-10 with 14 minutes and 56 seconds remaining in the game.

The University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees is one member short after trustee and Cincinnati Enquirer president and publisher Margaret Buchanan resigned Friday.

Buchanan’s role at the Enquirer and her involvement with the board caused a confl ict of interest, she said in a statement.

“The credibility that is so important to our news team’s work is my highest priority, and I did not want my involvement with UC to make it uncomfortable or confusing for them or for the community.”

Buchanan fi rst expressed concern about her involvement with the board and the Enquirer several years ago in executive sessions, said Francis Barrett, chairman of the board.

“She was always worried about maintaining the proper separation and yet when there was over lap it was a concern to her,” Barrett said.

In some instances, she removed herself from sessions when the media extensively reported on the topic of discussion, Barrett said.

Buchanan was appointed chairperson of UC Health Wednesday and the new role was a reason for her resignation, Barrett said.

“She indicated to me that her real interest was on the healthcare side and that she would like to devote her full attention to that,” Barrett said.

Gov. Bob Taft appointed Buchanan to the Board of Trustees in 2006. Her nine-year term was set to expire in January 2014.

NEWSRECORD.ORG2 LOCAL NEWSOhio enacts public pension reform billsBENJAMIN GOLDSCHMIDT | CHIEF REPORTER

Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed fi ve bi-partisan bills into law Wednesday that reform pension funds for Ohio public employees.

The bill will take effect Jan. 7, 2013, Kasich’s offi ce said in a statement.

Employees of Ohio fi re, police, teachers and highway patrol will be required to contribute more to their pension plans under the new law. These measures were taken due to the economic recession and a growing number of retirees, according to the press release.

The Ohio General Assembly is acting to slow a loss of almost $1 million per day in the Ohio Public Employees Retirement system, Representative Eric Kearney’s (D-Ohio) offi ce said in a statement.

“Each fund was treated differently depending on the solvency issues of each department,” said Rob Nichols, Kasich’s press secretary.

Analyses of the bills done by the Ohio Legislative Service Commission reveal Ohio employees in the highway patrol and teachers’ retirement fund are now required to

contribute 14 percent of their salaries, up from 10 percent. Ohio police and fi re departments will be required to pay 12.25 percent, an increase of 2.25 percent.

The reforms have been in the making for three years, and were co-sponsored by Sen. Thomas Niehaus (R-Ohio), and Eric Kearney (D-Ohio), Nichols said.

“We have successfully protected the health and retirement benefi ts of nearly 1.8 million Ohioans with no additional tax dollars,” Kearney said in a statement.

The Ohio Senate agreed to these changes Sept. 12 because the adjustments were needed to meet “fi nancial obligations and to ensure long-term stability,” according to the press release.

Along with adjusting contribution rates, these bills will increase retirement ages, adjust disability benefi ts and provide cost-of-living adjustments for all departments, said Jenifer Moore, assistant director of communications for Kearney’s offi ce.

The bills require the Ohio Retirement Study Council to submit a report to the Senate President and House Speaker no later than 90 days after the bills’ enactment.

Former Cincinnati mayor and television personality Jerry Springer will visit the University of Cincinnati Tuesday, to encourage students to vote, and do so early.

Speaking at Tangeman University Center’s Great Hall at 8 p.m., Springer plans to emphasize the start of early voting — something he feels is being made more diffi cult than it should be.

Federal Judge Peter Economus struck down an Ohio state law Aug. 31, barring in-person-early-voting the weekend before the Nov. 6 election.

“It’s the same thing that we had in the south with the poll tax and the literacy exams where a black would show up to vote and get asked an impossible question that no one would know,” Springer said. “And then a white person shows up and they don’t even ask him any questions. That’s what they did in the south and now we’re doing the same thing here.”

Similar tactics are being implemented in other battleground states to keep certain groups from voting, Springer said.

“Ohio is one of the 30 states where there’s been an all-out push to restrict minority voting and youth voting, which — whether you’re a democrat or a republican — should be unconscionable to you,” he said. “In some [states] they require the photo ID, in some they cut the hours — or weeks or days — of early voting. They’re using all different ways to have less people voting.”

Many states discourage young people from voting by not accepting college IDs as a proper form of identifi cation, and requiring a driver’s license puts low-income citizens at a disadvantage, Springer said.

“It’s just so crooked, so sinister, so anti-American,” Springer said. “They obviously want to cut into Barack Obama’s vote. But its beyond Barack Obama, it’s the idea that the one thing we all ought to be able to agree on is that we ought to help American citizens vote.”

In addition to his speech Tuesday, Springer will accompany buses of students to the Board of Elections to register to vote Wednesday morning. Students who want to participate should meet him at McMicken Commons at 9:00 a.m.

A committee tasked with reducing state colleges’ and universities’ expenses met for the fi rst time Thursday.

The Ohio Effi ciency Advisory Committee — created under Ohio House Bill 153 — looks to help universities share services and operate more effi ciently, said Kim Norris, director of communications for the Ohio Board of Regents. Each state school has a designated representative who will aid the committee.

“This is the third recent example of universities in Ohio working together,” Norris said.

Ohio universities have had success in determining the distribution of funding under the capitol appropriations bill and the governor’s current initiative known as the State Share of Instruction, she said.

“They are asking us to identify some of the best practices at each campus, and then to look and see if that is transferable, translatable, or scalable to do other institutions to share that resource,” said Bob Ambach, vice president for administration

and fi nance at the University of Cincinnati, and UC committee representative.

Members of the committee discussed the Ohio link system, which connects the Ohio universities’ library systems, as an example of successfully shared resources, Ambach said.

Although the committee primarily aims to reduce operating costs at Ohio universities, its efforts will also lower the complete cost of attendence for students — both directly and indirectly, Ambach said.

“Finding ways for universities to be more effi cient would reduce the university’s cost of operation and reduce the need for raising tuition,” Ambach said.

One of the committee’s main goals is to lower the cost of textbooks, which has a direct effect on tuition, Ambach said.

“Textbooks issue is a huge issue,” said Lane Hart, student body president. “Textbooks are something on the periphery that can be extremely expensive for students.”

The committee has the potential to really benefi t UC students, Hart said.

“In general, we are absolutely supportive of keeping costs low or reducing costs,” Hart said.

MINNEAPOLIS — Andrew J. Engeldinger’s descent into darkness began two years ago, but even as he retreated from family and bought handguns and ammunition, he kept going to work at the Accent Signage Systems factory in Minneapolis.

Engeldinger, 36, worked his shift Thursday and was told that after a dozen years, he no longer had a job. Then he pulled out a 9mm Glock handgun and committed the largest workplace massacre in recent Minnesota history.

On Friday, the scale of the rampage came into focus: Five people were killed, including the founder of the acclaimed sign manufacturer and a visiting UPS driver. Three others were injured.

Police Chief Tim Dolan said Engeldinger apparently spared some employees in “the hellish time” as workers dialed 911 and hid in terror. It all ended in minutes, after Engeldinger went into the building’s basement and fired a final bullet into his own head.

Police who searched his home across town in south Minneapolis found a second handgun and packaging for 10,000 rounds of ammunition, but no obvious answers.

“Maybe something finally snapped, but I don’t know why,” said his uncle Joseph Engeldinger.

The victims included company owner Reuven Rahamim, 61, of St. Louis Park; United Parcel Service driver Keith Basinski, 50, of Spring Lake Park; Rami Cooks, 62, of Minnetonka; Ronald Edberg, 58, of Brooklyn Center; and Jacob Beneke, 34, of Maple Grove.

Two employees remained hospitalized at Hennepin County Medical Center late Friday afternoon. Accent’s director of operations, John Souter of Wayzata, was in serious condition and production manager Eric Rivers was in critical condition.

James Honerman, a spokesman for the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, called it the deadliest case of workplace violence in Minnesota since the department began keeping figures in 1992. In the last two decades, 95 have died, 68 from shootings.

Engeldinger grew up in Richfield and came to work for Accent Signage in the late 1990s, where he was trained as

an engraver by Barry Lawrence.“He was real intelligent, caught on fast,” said Lawrence,

who left Accent Signage but stayed in touch with the company’s officers.

Lawrence said Engeldinger was conscientious, and worried about his 401(k) plan and fluctuations in the stock market.

“I remember when he was hired; he was a quiet guy,” he said. “I wouldn’t have thought he would have done anything like this.”

Meaghan Norlander, former comptroller at Accent Signage who left the company in 2008, described Engeldinger as “a loner” who seemed always under stress.

She said that he “internalized everything” and complained at times about being shifted from one job to another.

“The standards were really high,” Norlander said. “Reuven was driven. If you didn’t live up to his expectations, you failed.”

The relationship between Engeldinger and Rahamim was a rocky one. Norlander recalled a shouting match between the two in 2007, although she could not remember the details.

In 2003, Engeldinger bought a home in the Powderhorn neighborhood. Neighbors rarely paid attention to the slight man with a ponytail who occasionally worked in the yard.

“Never met him. Never heard anything about him,” said John Evans, who lives two houses north of Engeldinger.

But in recent years, Engeldinger’s family began worrying about what appeared to be his paranoia and delusions. Two years ago, his parents attended a 12-week “Family to Family” class offered by the Minnesota National Alliance on Mental Illness. The class is taught by family members of mentally ill people.

His family hadn’t had contact with him for about 21 months after he had shown signs of possible mental illness, said Sue Abderholden, executive director of the Minnesota National Alliance on Mental Illness.

“They were trying to get him to seek treatment; they did think something was wrong,” she said. But Engeldinger didn’t appear to be a threat to himself or others — criteria for petitioning for commitment to mental health care, she said.

Abderholden said he had been paranoid with some delusions, symptoms of possible schizophrenia, but was working and able to live alone.

“He was, to the outside world, doing OK,” she said.About a year ago, he bought two handguns, including

the Glock 9-millimeter, Dolan said. “Obviously, he’d been practicing how to use that gun,” the chief said.

Engeldinger worked his usual shift on Thursday, but at the end of the day he was called to the front office. He apparently walked into that meeting armed.

Dolan said Engeldinger first shot people in the front office area, then walked to the loading dock, shooting others. He singled out his targets, walking past some people. Basinski, the UPS driver, appeared to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, Dolan said. Some people in the building fought back, the chief said, but he wouldn’t elaborate.

About 4:30 p.m., 911 calls from inside the building alerted police to the shooting moments after it began, Dolan said. Three officers arrived and immediately found victims inside upon entering, he said. Paramedics followed them in to treat the injured, even though it was still unclear where the shooter was or if he was still a threat, said Dolan, who praised the police and the paramedics for their bravery. He said it was the most traumatic scene that the officers had encountered; the first officers on the scene have taken temporary leave.

No shots were fired after police arrived, he said. The officers helped some people out of the building. A SWAT team arrived and began searching the building. They found Engeldinger’s body in the basement.

In a statement, Engeldinger’s parents, Charles and Carolyn, said they will cooperate with authorities, and that their son’s struggles with mental illness and withdrawal from his family are “not an excuse for his actions, but sadly, may be a partial explanation.”

They said their hearts go out to the victims and their families. “Nothing we can say can make up for their loss.”

Engeldinger’s uncle said that, along with the grief for all the families involved, they’re also consumed with puzzlement.

“He wasn’t a monster, he wasn’t evil, he wasn’t a bad guy,” Joseph Engeldinger said.

MCCLATCHY WIRE SERVICE

TEHRAN, Iran — Iran on Saturday said that, instead of drawing a “red line” for Iran, Israel should draw one for itself and its nuclear arsenal, the ISNA news agency reported.

The “red line” has become an ongoing phrase in the war of words about Iran’s nuclear program, with Israel saying the world needs to lay down such a line to show Iran how far it may be allowed to progress with its nuclear program.

“The prime minister of the Zionist regime (Israel) with his painting at the UN, should be told that, if having the atomic bomb is crossing a red line, then he should draw this for the Zionist regime which has

tens of nuclear warheads,” Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said.

The minister was referring to Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu, who literally drew a “red line” on Iran’s suspected nuclear weapons program Thursday night with a graphic depicting Iran’s nuclear program as a drawing of a bomb while addressing the UN General Assembly.

“Which country is more dangerous? A regime with nuclear weapons threatening another country with a military attack or a country which is in favor of nuclear disarmament and pursues peaceful nuclear programs within international regulations,” Vahidi asked.

While Iran’s government took the speech by Netanyahu quite seriously,

normal Iranians were reportedly rather amused by the Israeli premier and his bomb illustration.

TIM JOHNSON | MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS

MEXICO CITY — Mexican marines Thursday displayed to the news media an alleged gangster believed to be a breakaway commander known as “El Taliban,” who had split with the brutal Zetas crime group.

The arrest of Ivan Velazquez Caballero, 42, took place in San Luis Potosi, a mining

city in central Mexico, said Adm. Jose Luis Vergara, a navy spokesman.

Velazquez’s arrest marks a major achievement likely to change the contours of gang-on-gang violence in parts of northern and central Mexico, perhaps allowing the Zetas gang, one of Mexico’s most powerful, to overcome a bloody internal feud and march on rivals near Mexico’s capital.

Velazquez, a native of Tamaulipas state

along the border with Texas where Los Zetas have their stronghold, had operated from central Mexico since 2007, a navy statement said.

He commanded 400 gunmen and his turf included Zacatecas and Aguascalientes states as well as parts of Guanajuato and Coahuila states, the statement said.

At one time, he controlled gang operations in Monterrey, a key industrial hub in northeastern Mexico, it added.

A bitter feud broke out a few months ago between Velazquez, who also is known as “Z-50,” and one of the two top leaders of Los Zetas, Miguel Trevino Morales.

It led to a series of tit-for-tat murders in their respective ranks, including a dump of 14 bodies in San Luis Potosi on Aug. 9.

Los Zetas, onetime enforcers for the Gulf Cartel, broke off in 2010 and have eclipsed their former bosses in strength and global reach. Velazquez, in turn, split with Los Zetas and sought help from the Gulf Cartel.

The arrest of Velazquez would make it the latest blow to the Gulf Cartel, which is based in Matamoros, across from Brownsville, Texas.

Earlier this month, naval marines captured Mario Cardenas Guillen and Jorge Eduardo Costilla, senior leaders of factions of the Gulf crime group.

With the arrest of “El Taliban,” only remnants of the Gulf Cartel remain.

“The number of (Gulf Cartel) leaders

who have been arrested in recent weeks is uncanny. I suspect Trevino is providing intelligence to the marines,” said Scott Stewart, who oversees analysis for Stratfor, a global intelligence company based in Austin, Texas.

The fast pace of arrests of Gulf Cartel leaders, including Velazquez, may allow Los Zetas to consolidate control of northeastern Mexico and heal their internal rift.

It may also embolden the Zetas to go after the Knights Templar, a crime gang based in Michoacan state heavily involved in production and smuggling of methamphetamine.

The Knights Templar had formed a pact with Velazquez and with the Gulf Cartel to try to contain the advance of Los Zetas, which have a presence in at least half of Mexico’s 31 states and the capital.

The navy statement said Velazquez began his crime career at age 14 by robbing cars in his hometown of Nuevo Leon in Tamaulipas state.

He was sent to jail for car theft at age 22 and joined Los Zetas on leaving prison, it said.

Two other men were arrested with Velazquez, Manuel Antonio Guerrero and Carlos Uriel de Santiago Hernandez, the navy said. Commandos also found four grenades, several fi rearms, $20,000 in cash and some 26 pounds of what appeared to be marijuana, it said.

JONATHAN S. LANDAY AND HANNAH ALLAM | MCT CAMPUS

UNITED NATIONS — Armed with a cartoon-like picture of a smoldering bomb, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Thursday on the world to set a “clear red line” on Iran’s enrichment of uranium, warning that Iran must be stopped before it accumulates enough material to produce warhead fuel.

Netanyahu told the U.N. General Assembly that Iran could manufacture a suffi cient stock of enriched uranium for a weapon by next summer. While he didn’t explicitly restate earlier threats to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities to prevent it from doing so, his meaning was clear.

“The red line must be drawn on Iran’s nuclear enrichment program because these enrichment facilities are the only nuclear installations that we can see and credibly target,” he said. “I believe that faced with a clear red line, Iran will back down, and it will give more time for sanctions and diplomacy.”

“Nothing could imperil the world more than a nuclear-armed Iran,” said Netanyahu, who views Iran as an existential threat to Israel, citing Iranian leaders’ denial of the Holocaust, arsenal of ballistic missiles and statements that the Jewish state shouldn’t exist. He also warned U.N. delegates that Iran could slip a nuclear weapon to Islamic terrorists.

Israel is widely believed to lack the military capacity to substantially set back Iran’s program without U.S. involvement. President Barack Obama, speaking to the General Assembly on Tuesday, said the United States would “do what it must” to prevent Iran from developing a warhead. But he has rejected calls that he set an ultimatum for military action that could have devastating consequences, saying there is still time for crippling sanctions to force Iran into a diplomatic settlement.

Netanyahu’s government also is riven by differences over the sanctions and how long it would take Iran to produce a weapon. In the latest evidence of those splits, an Israeli Foreign Ministry report leaked to an Israeli newspaper seemed to suggest Thursday that sanctions could work, saying that the measures have severely cut Iran’s sales of petroleum and access to hard currency to a harsher degree than acknowledged.

Netanyahu pushed back, however, saying that the Iranian economy has been “hit hard” but that sanctions and negotiations between Tehran and the United States, the European Union, China and Russia have failed to halt Iran’s enrichment program.

Speaking with journalists Wednesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dismissed the notion that sanctions have seriously hurt his country’s economy and mocked the idea of deeper European sanctions at a time when “the European Union is on the verge of collapse.” He said Iran’s median household income has gone up, the wealth divide has narrowed and oil income has remained steady despite sanctions.

“The overall volume of Iran’s economy

has increased incredibly over the past few years,” Ahmadinejad said. “We went from being the world’s 22nd-largest economy to being the world’s 17th-largest economy.”

Enrichment involves thousands of interconnected, high-speed centrifuges refi ning uranium hexafl uoride gas into low-enriched uranium for power reactors and medical isotopes, and highly enriched uranium for bomb fuel, depending on the duration of the refi ning process.

Iran insists that its program is for peaceful purposes. But it has for years refused to answer the U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency’s questions about evidence that it secretly researched a warhead. Iran also has spurned U.N. demands to halt enrichment, which it has expanded from its main centrifuge plant at Natanz to an airstrike-resistant site beneath a mountain near the holy city of Qom.

The United States and the European Union charge that Iran, which hid its program from U.N. inspectors for 18 years until 2002, is developing the capacity to build a bomb. They have imposed their own sanctions on Iran, and they’ve been joined by Russia and China in approving four rounds of U.N. measures.

About midway through his speech Thursday, Netanyahu held up the picture of a bomb with a burning fuse — resembling those in children’s cartoons — to illustrate the amount of enriched uranium that Iran has produced, according to the IAEA. In a dramatic fashion, he used a red pen to draw a line at how much more it requires for a weapon.

“Iran is 70 percent of the way there,” he said, referring to the stock of low-enriched uranium that the Islamic republic has refi ned to almost 20 percent. That level of medium-enriched uranium is more easily and quickly turned into the 90 percent highly enriched uranium required for a warhead.

“Now they’re well into the second stage. And by next spring, at most by next summer at current enrichment rates, they will have fi nished the medium enrichment and move onto the fi nal stage. From there, it’s only a few months, possibly a few weeks, before they get enough uranium for the fi rst bomb,” he said.

Netanyahu said there would be “little difference” between “a nuclear-armed Iran” and a “nuclear-armed al-Qaida,” charging that “they are both fi red by the same hatred. They’re both driven by the same lust for violence.”

Several experts said that it appeared that Netanyahu was setting as a red line for a military strike the point at which Iran accumulates enough 20 percent enriched uranium to convert into the amount of highly enriched uranium required for a warhead.

“What he was saying was that once Iran gets what it needs in 20 percent enriched uranium to be able to convert into weapons-grade, that’s when he says Iran should be attacked,” said Greg Theilman, a former State Department intelligence analyst with the Arms Control Association.

Theilman disputed the urgency of Netanyahu’s timeline, saying that Iran’s

centrifuge networks would have to be upgraded before they could be used to manufacture highly enriched uranium. IAEA inspectors and monitoring systems inside Iran’s enrichment facilities, he said, would detect the work as soon as it began.

“As soon as they crossed that red line, IAEA inspectors would know about it. The whole international community would know they were racing for a bomb,” he said.

Moreover, Theilman explained, Iran would have to produce more than one device before it represented a credible nuclear threat. The Iran regime couldn’t count on a single device working properly, and it would need more than one to deter Israel, which is widely believed to have several hundred nuclear weapons, or the United States from launching a devastating nuclear counterstrike.

A senior Obama administration offi cial, speaking on condition of anonymity as per diplomatic protocol, said the U.N. Security Council is still pursuing a two-track course of pressure and dialogue. “We all heard the speech today, and we will continue to have our discussions,” the offi cial said of Netanyahu. The offi cial said that while sanctions and pressure are important, diplomacy is the preferred course.

“Iran wants and looks forward to additional dialogue to try to reach an agreement. But that discussion has to be, as I said, a credible one,” the offi cial said. “And we have to make sure that the timetable that’s being used is not just being used to buy time for Iran to continue its nuclear program.”

Bipartisan efforts needed to fi x economySHERROD BROWN

There’s an old saying that it’s hard to learn with your mouth open. That’s why as Senator, I believe that the best way I can serve Ohio is by fi rst listening to Ohioans from different walks of life, political parties, and professions.

To do that, I’ve traveled to all 88 counties and held more than 200 community roundtables.

Many people ask how anything gets done in Washington. And they’re right. Most Ohioans don’t care about labels. It’s not about whether you’re a Democrat or Republican. It’s about what you are trying to accomplish.

That’s how we need to approach the political process if we’re going to turn our economy around and put Ohioans back to work. And that’s the kind of approach

that should bring together Democrats and Republicans in Washington.

When I joined the Senate, I committed to work with my Republican colleagues as often as possible. I’m

glad to say that in the past two years, I have written and introduced bills with 24 of my Republican colleagues and have cosponsored bills, written by others, with all of my Republican colleagues.

Working across party lines is the only way that we can address the challenges that our nation faces.

Here are fi ve accomplishments I’m most proud of — not just because they were bipartisan, but because they came from the ideas of Ohioans, many times originating at one of the many community roundtables I have held.

Working with Sen. Kay Bailey

Hutchison (R-TX) to Improve Tour Bus Safety Following a Deadly Crash Involving Bluffton University Baseball Players.

When a motorcoach carrying members of the Bluffton University baseball team claimed seven lives in 2007, I met John and Joy Betts, parents whose son David was killed in the crash. The bus carrying the Bluffton students did not meet current safety standards. After meeting with Bluffton families, I began working with Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX), who was also concerned about the lack of updated bus safety stands. Together, Senator Hutchison and I worked alongside families for fi ve years to pass the “Motorcoach Enhanced Safety Act.” This commonsense, bipartisan legislation protects tour bus passengers, drivers, and other motorists on America’s highways.

Working with Sen. John Thune (R-SD) to Reform the Farm Safety Net and Reduce the Defi cit.

During the past six years, I held a series of roundtables throughout Ohio where I asked farmers to share their ideas to reform the farm safety nets so that it’s more responsive to the needs of farmers and to taxpayers. At a roundtable in Henry County, a farmer gave me an idea that led to the creation of a new program to better protect producers while saving taxpayers money.

Last year, I began working with Senator John Thune (R-SD) to improve the farmer program that arose from my meeting in Henry County. The result was a bipartisan provision that better meets farmer’s needs while saving taxpayers more than $20 billion.

Working with Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) to ensure American workers are training for the jobs of the 21st century.

I routinely hear from business owners who – despite these challenging economic times – have jobs to fi ll but can’t fi nd workers with the necessary skills and training to fi ll these vacancies.

That’s why I’ve been working

alongside Senator Olympia Snowe (R-ME) to ensure that our federal job training programs meet the needs of local businesses. We introduced the “Strengthening Employment Clusters to Organize Regional Success (SECTORS) Act” which would use existing federal funds to align job training programs with so that workers learns the skills employers actually need. Ensuring American workers are equipped with the skills needed to fi ll open jobs isn’t a partisan issue, it’s commonsense.

Working to Improve Infrastructure with Sen. George Voinovich (R-OH).

Another concern I’ve heard often – from business leaders, not just mayors and county commissioners – is the need for modern sewer and water infrastructure to promote economic development and to attract new investment. Communities across Ohio want to update water infrastructure, but they struggle to comply with costly regulations and cannot afford needed improvements.

That’s why Senator George V. Voinovich (R-OH) and I introduced the “Clean Water Affordability Act” in 2008. This legislation would protect local ratepayers, streamline permitting, lead to cleaner water, and promote economic development. A sound wastewater infrastructure with fair rates isn’t just a health and safety issue — it is an economic development imperative. While Senator Voinovich is no longer Senator, I continue to push the legislation that he helped write.

Working to Level the Playing Field for Ohio Manufacturers with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

Finally, as Ohioans know, our workers and manufacturers are ready to compete with anyone. But when a country

like China purposefully manipulates its currency to make its exports cheaper, that’s not competing — that’s cheating. And China’s blatant currency manipulation – the act of undervaluing its currency to give its exports an unfair price advantage over products Made in the U.S. — drives American companies out-of-business, costs Ohio jobs, and

undermines our economy.

That’s why I introduced the bipartisan “Currency Exchange Rate Oversight Reform Act of 2011” with

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC). This bill, which was also supported by Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), cleared the Senate by a 63-35 vote. The bill punishes China when it cheats trade laws and ensures a level playing fi eld for American manufacturers.

These examples show that Democrats and Republicans can work together on commonsense efforts that create jobs, promote economic development, and improve the lives of all Americans.

Bipartisanship is about more than rhetoric. It’s about setting aside political labels and ideological differences to move our country forward.

It shouldn’t take hardship to break partisan gridlock; we have other economic challenges that we must address, together.

Democrats and Republicans shouldn’t be fi ghting each other; we should be fi ghting for the middle class. We have a chance to set aside partisan differences and remember whom we’re fi ghting for. And if we do that, we might even see bipartisanship emerge as an unintended — but certainly welcome — side effect.

Sherrod Brown is a Democratic Senator from Ohio.

BROWN

Bipartisanship is about more than rhetoric.

ASK THE STAFF } What do you think of Margaret Buchanan stepping down from the

University of Cincinnati Board of Trustees to avoid claims about whether the Cincinnati Enquirer’s coverage of the university is confl icted?

As far as I’m concerned the damage has already been done. She’s been the Enquirer’s president and publisher for nine years and a member of UC’s board of trustees for eight years. If a confl ict of interest is why she stepped down then why didn’t she do it sooner?

I feel as if the decison might have come a year or two — or eight— later than it should have.

I respect her decision of stepping down to avoid loosing credibility. And at least she provided a reasoning as to why she was stepping down.

The confl ict of interest should have been thought about when she accepted the nomination to the BoT. Instead, after the Enquirer gets confi dential information leaked by anonymous sources, she fi nally wants to ensure there is no perceived confl ict. I’m sure she’s a perfect fi t for her role with UC Health.

The University Cincinnati men’s soccer team defeated Syracuse University, 1-0, at Gettler stadium Saturday to record its second straight Big East Conference victory.

Senior Midfielder Matt Bahner scored the only goal of the game in the 55th minute, rifling a right-footed shot into the top corner of the net from just outside the 18-yard box to beat Syracuse keeper Alex Bono.

“This was a typical Big East match. We knew Syracuse was a good team, they’re 8-2 and 1-0 in the league, so we knew it was going to be a tactical chess match,” UC head coach Hylton Dayes said. “Matt has been our leader and captain and certainly a guy that

we look to for a lot of things. He scored a really good goal and we defended well and were able to make it stand up.”

Syracuse held the advantage on shot count, 15-12, and corner kicks, 8-3, but UC junior goalkeeper Taylor Hafling made three saves to ensure his school record fifth consecutive clean sheet.

“The guys are playing well as a group defensively,” Dayes said. “Taylor had some good saves tonight and helped organize our defense. We are not scoring a lot of goals, so we have to make it difficult for our opponents to score.”

Bahner also heaped praise on Hafling and UC’s back four.

“Tonight was a great team effort,” Bahner

said. “I was lucky to get the ball into the back of the net for the goal. Taylor made some great saves and the back four had great organization and played really well together for us.”

UC is 2-0 in Big East play and improved its overall record to 5-4-2. This is the first time since 2010 the Bearcats have won the opening two conference games of the season.

UC hosts No. 20 USF Wednesday at Gettler stadium at 7 p.m.

“USF is one of the best teams in the country. They are nationally ranked, they were in the final 8 last year and they have a lot of experienced players,” Dayes said. “USF is going to be a tough match, but I feel like our guys are going to rise to the occasion.”

Over the past decade, no player in the Cincinnati Reds system has endured more flack from the Reds’ fan base — or more patience from the front office — than Homer Bailey.

Friday night, Bailey emphatically delivered a grand “thank you and you’re welcome” to both groups, capping off the most successful season of his career by throwing the first Reds no-hitter in more than 24 years.

No Reds pitcher has thrown nine innings of no-hit baseball since Tom Browning’s perfect game Sept. 16, 1988.

Bailey had thrown 95 pitches going into the ninth inning and finished with a final pitch count of 115, after striking out Brock Holt, retiring Michael McKenry and forcing Alex Presley to pop-out to second baseman Brandon Phillips to secure the seventh no-hitter in the MLB this season.

Bailey immediately celebrated by throwing his arms in the air following Presley’s pop-out, preparing for the mob and Gatorade bath that ensued seconds later.

For Reds fans, the no-no was a reminder of just how far Bailey has come since making his major-league-debut in 2007.

For the Reds, it means entering the playoff with four legitimate starting pitchers.

But for Bailey, the game has to mean so much more — symbolizing victory over his eight-year struggle to live up to the enormous expectations placed upon his shoulders ever since he joined the Reds organization in 2004.

The Reds drafted Bailey straight out of La Grange High School where he led his team to state titles in 2001 and 2004. USA Today, Baseball America, Louisville Slugger and the National High School Coaches’ Association all named him National High School Player of the Year.

When the Reds drafted Bailey with the seventh overall pick, the expectations were very high to say the least.

In Bailey’s debut MLB season, he started nine games and he struck out 28 batters — but he also walked 28, posted an ERA of 5.76 and pitched just 45.1 innings.

The Reds sent Bailey down to the minors for a brief period in 2008. He was called back up, but his struggles worsened, culminating with an 0-6 record and an ERA of 7.93. He gave up 36 runs in just 36 innings and hitters slugged hitting .378 against him.

Reds fans became increasingly weary of Bailey’s struggles and more Cincinnati supporters than would admit it today very much favored letting the young-right hander go.

But In 2009 Bailey finally started to transform into pitcher instead of a thrower, he improved his record to 8-5 and lowered his ERA to 4.53.

His ERA continued to drop slightly in 2010 (4.46) and 2011 (4.43), as he struck out 206 batters over the two seasons.

But biggest improvement to Bailey’s game during 2010 and ’11, was his ability to control the strike zone. Bailey only walked 73 batters over 241.1 innings, that’s better than Reds’ ace Johnny Cueto who allowed 103 walks in two seasons and veteran Bronson Arroyo, who allowed 115 walks.

Bailey’s has come full circle in 2012, setting career highs with 13 wins, 204 innings pitched and 160 strikeouts. After Friday’s no-hitter, Bailey’s ERA also dropped to a career low, 3.85.

Bailey has pitched well at PNC Park ever since 2004 when he was part of a showcase for Major League scouts, hitting 96 mph consistently.

It seems more than fitting, that the Ballpark where he initially wowed scouts as a young high school grad would be the same place where Bailey finally saw the fruits of more than eight years worth of labor.

After Friday, Bailey is going to be the No.4 starter in the playoffs, and the no-hitter showed he has the potential to someday, perhaps sooner than later, sit atop the Reds’ rotations.

It’s been a long journey for Bailey, but Friday night verified what the Reds front office has thought all along: Homer Bailey can be, and will be, an elite pitcher.

Men’s cross country wins All-OhioJOshua a. miller | SportS EDitor

The University of Cincinnati men’s and women’s cross country teams competed in the All-Ohio Intercollegiate Cross Country Championships at Cedarville University Saturday afternoon.

The men’s team finished All-Ohio champions for the second year in a row and the women’s squad duplicated its fifth-place performance from last season as well.

Before the meet, UC head coach Bill Schnier, who is set to retire at the end of the season, was awarded the annual Marv Frye Award for his dedication to the sport.

Sophomore Emily Clay led the Bearcats in the women’s 5k race, earning an eighth-place individual finish with a time of 18 minutes and 16.42 seconds.

The Bearcats also featured four other top-50 runners. Sophomore Kaitlyn Meyer took 26th place in a time of 18 minutes and 43.85 seconds; freshman Anne Pace placed 31st, finishing in 18 minutes and 48.96 seconds; senior Alison Zukowski followed in 32nd, with a time of 18 minutes and 49.15 seconds; and sophomore Ashley Earman rounded out UC’s top-50 finishers in 45th place, crossing the finish line after 18 minutes and 59.69 seconds.

“Every runner out there got a personal record. They did the best they have ever done in their life,” Schnier said. “They competed like crazy and we leave here happy, although one of our goals was to move up in place, to at least fourth place. It didn’t happen but there are a lot of other good teams here as well.”

UC sophomore Colin Cotton’s time of 24 minutes and 40.02 seconds helped pace the men’s team, as it defended its 2011 title and earned him a third place finish.

The Bearcats finished the day with 86 total points, comfortably beating Miami University by 29 points to secure the championship.

Also placing in the top-30 for UC were, junior Jeffrey Griffiths, who finished 13th in a time of 25 minutes and 3.81 seconds; senior

Chase Beckman took 19th place, crossing the line in 25 minutes and 12.35 seconds; Juniors Evan Baum and Eric Hauser finished 25th and 26th, posting times of 25 minutes and 22.57 second and 25 minutes and 22.94 seconds respectively.

“The men’s race was a little bit different,” Schnier said. “We were first last year and ironically, five out of those seven from last

year’s team did not run this year. The first, second and 12th-place finishers from this race last year didn’t even run and yet we still came back and won the race again. We are all very proud of that and happy that it turned out that way.”

UC will return to action Saturday, Oct. 13, to compete in the Pre-Nationals in Louisville, Ky.

Senior receiver Damon Julian dropped a touchdown opportunity and a Miliano missed field goal on UC’s next possession left points on the field for UC once again.

The Hokies then drove 76 yards in eight plays on the ensuing drive to take the lead on a 3-yard run by Michael Holmes.

Ralph David Abernathy IV answered two plays later for the Bearcats, catching a wheel route from Legaux and outrunning the VT defense for a 76-yard touchdown.

After a punt by both teams, Thomas connected with Corey Fuller on a 56-yard strike to give the Hokies a 24-20 lead.

UC took over at the Virginia Tech 19-yard line with no timeouts remaining, and 1 minute and 46 seconds remaining, setting the stage for Julian’s game-winning catch.

“In practice, coach [Jones] has pushed us in a lot of adverse situations,” Julian said. “So we were prepared for it. We knew he had one more drive whether they scored or not. So that was our mentality.”

Legaux connected with Travis Kelce and McClung on throws of 15 and 14-yards respectively before connecting with Julian on third-down-and-10 from the Va. Tech 39-yard line to give UC a 27-24 lead.

Cheatham secured the win for UC, intercepting Thomas’ Hail-Mary attempt on the final play of the game.

Although Julian’s catch will be the lasting image of UC’s victory, the Cincinnati defense dominated the Hokies’ offense for the better part of three quarters and ensured that UC only trailed by one at halftime. Senior linebacker Malik Bomar and Greg Blair

combined to make 29 tackles, with 16 and 13 respectively.

George Winn led UC with 76 yards rushing on 17 carries and Julian ended his career day with four receptions for 89 yards. Legaux finished the game with a career high 376 yards passing.

“The mark of good quarterbacks is to be able to go on the road and lead your team to victory in the one-minute drill,” Jones said. “He did that - one minute, forty-six [seconds] left, have to go the length of the field with no timeouts left. I think that speaks volumes about him as a leader. I hope that will propel him into next week against Miami of Ohio.”

UC will be back in action Saturday, Oct. 6 against Miami University in Nippert Stadium at 7 p.m.
