PHOTOS BY TESSA LIGHTY | STAFFStudents play Frisbee in front of Keeneland Hall on North Campus Monday afternoon. The weather is predicted to be warm all week.
On Friday, 250 students felt the luck ofthe Irish a day early when they won a ticketto see UK play in the NCAA South Region-al in Atlanta.
With days to spare before the Cats takethe court in the Sweet 16 against the IndianaHoosiers, there are still a few ways for stu-dents to get their hands on tickets.
The unclaimed student tickets that wereselected in the lottery became available tothe public Monday at 4 p.m.
“(Students) can go online to their ac-count or they can come into our office andwe can do it for them,” said the ticket officefor UK Athletics.
Nick Yonts, a computer engineering jun-ior, was among a group selected for the lot-tery, but as is the case with many collegestudents, prices were too expensive.
“Tickets are way too much for a collegestudent to afford,” Yonts said. “I was reallyexcited when I saw it, but after reading theprice my heart just dropped because that’sjust for tickets.”
Ticketmaster has all session ticketsavailable in the upper part of the arena for$150.00.
Yonts said that if tickets were closer to$100, it is something he would have lookedinto a little closer.
If not prepared to make a whole week-end out of UK’s trip to “Catlanta,” Yonts’plan can still be achieved.
Tickets to session two, the Elite Eight,are available at $91.65 per ticket in the are-na’s middle concourse.
While going through the UK Athleticsticket office or Ticketmaster is a safermethod of obtaining a ticket, sites such asStubHub!, Craigslist and eBay still offerfans a wide array of options.
StubHub!, unlike the other two, can pro-vide security for tickets with the FanProtectGuarantee.
The site ensures tickets will be valid andif not, similar tickets will be located or buy-ers can receive a refund.
Prices are a little steeper now that thegame is drawing closer.
A seat three rows back in section 227,behind the baseline, is currently selling for$205 a ticket. The cheapest ticket on thesite that will get you closest to the court isselling for $265, and it is also on the base-line.
Among the better offers made availableon the likes of Craigslist and eBay in theLexington vicinity were up to eight all ses-sion tickets for the South Regional onCraigslist.
The seller, from Versailles, had six tick-ets divided into a group of four in row 10 ofsection 240, and two more in row 11. Theother pair is in section 229, but the sellerspecifies that if all eight tickets are pur-chased together, the price would drop from$250 per ticket to $225.
Another Craigslist seller is looking foronly face value of $150 for four tickets inthe lower part of the arena for all sessions inAtlanta.
eBay offers many “Buy It Now” oppor-tunities that have more than one ticket avail-able for session two for as little as $112.00per ticket.
Cody Thomas, an accounting senior,made the trip to Houston for the Final Fournearly a year ago.
While the difference is that he only hadto pay $25 due to the large student allot-ment, getting to Houston, which is 990miles away, is a much longer trip than oneto Atlanta for this weekend’s games.
Thomas said one of the reasons he want-ed to go was to “just to be in the atmosphereof the Final Four.”
“It’s a once in a lifetime experience,” hesaid.
For those who didn’t win the lottery fortickets to the South Regional, Thomas saidif you have the money, it is “totally worthgoing to.”
“The whole atmosphere of being aroundso many UK fans that you know are goingto be there and just being able to cheer (theCats) on in the championship game makes itworth it,” he said.

Last day of winter felt more like spring
Spring break may beover but the weather isstill nice and draws stu-dents outside. The tem-perature on Mondayreached a high of 84 andthat is expected to con-tinue throughout theweek, according toweather.gov.
Scattered thunder-storms are expected laterin the week on Fridayand Saturday.
Tuesday, Wednesdayand Thursday have littleto no chance of rain, andsunny skies are expected.
Key player and Turning Point of theGame
Senior Keyla Snowden secured thewin with a 16-foot jumper that rattledall along the rim before finding thebottom of the net. The Cats had lost a17-point lead and trailed 62-61 untilSnowden hit the jumper with 16 sec-onds remaining. After a defensive stop,Snowden nailed two free throws togive the Cats the final 3-point marginat 65-62.
The GoodThe Cats played maybe their best
half of the season in the first half, hold-ing Green Bay to 26.7 percent shootingand leading 42-25. They were crisp onthe offensive end and stout on defense.They put in a positively commandingperformance. Samarie Walker led UKwith 15 points and 13 rebounds.
The BadThe second half was one of the
worst halves of the season for the Cats.They turned the ball over 20 times, andcompletely lost a 17-point lead. Theywere out of sorts on offense and al-lowed too many good looks for thePhoenix.
Stat of the GameTurnovers. The game featured the top
two teams in the NCAA in turnover mar-gin and they delivered a staggering num-ber of miscues. Green Bay turned the ballover 24 times and the Cats turned it over34 times, 20 times in the second half,which fueled the Green Bay run.
What's NextThe Cats move on to the Sweet 16 in
Bridgeport, R.I., next weekend. Theywill play the Gonzaga Bulldogs (28-5,14-2 WCC) Sunday. The “Zags” defeat-ed Rutgers 86-73 Saturday and Miami65-54 Monday to move on to the Sweet16.

LOS ANGELES — Four years after a sweepsweek audience watched Edie Britt, the vampyreal estate agent in “Desperate Housewives,”draw her last breath, a Los Angeles jury saidMonday it could not decide the cause of herdeath.
The judge in Nicollette Sheridan’s wrong-ful termination suit declared a mistrial after ju-rors said they were hopelessly deadlocked asto whether the actress’ character was killed offon the ABC show in an act of retaliation orsimply for creative reasons.
Nine members of the jury had to agree toreturn a verdict and the foreman told JudgeElizabeth White that after discussions overthree days, he saw no way to reach a decision.The jury found 8-4 in favor of Sheridan, oneshy of a verdict.
The 48-year-old Sheridan had sought atleast $5.7 million from creator Marc Cherryand Touchstone Television Production.
The two-week trial offered jurors a be-hind-the-scenes look at the soap, which is toend this spring after eight seasons. The picturepainted throughout the testimony of more thana dozen writers, executives and producers wasoften unflattering. Tabloid leaks from the setwere a constant problem. There were salary
disputes and tiffs over forgotten lines. Sheri-dan said Cherry talked down to her, and he re-called her as rude, tardy and unprepared forrehearsals. He recounted her fighting with co-star Teri Hatcher over forgotten lines and saidtwo other stars, Felicity Huffman and EvaLongoria, were “relieved” when they learnedshe was leaving the show.
The jury heard numerous accounts of a2008 rehearsal, which ended with Sheridanyelling, “You hit me! You can’t hit me!” atCherry and storming from the set. She testifiedthat he had hit her “hard” in the temple whenshe questioned a line of dialogue. He said hehad only tapped her to demonstrate a playfulsmack he wanted her to give her on-screenhusband.
She complained and ABC’s human re-sources department investigated, and cleared,Cherry. Four months later, she learned Ediewas being eliminated from the show and laterfiled suit.
Much of the testimony focused on the tim-ing of Cherry’s decision to kill off Edie. Tenwitnesses said he made it months before theon-set incident, but two writers for the showsaid her fate was not sealed until after.

Indiana’s buzzer-beater shotin the final seconds of the Dec.10 matchup with the Hoosiersscarred the Cats in the regularseason and blemished UK withits only regular season lost. Afterthat, the Cats went on a 24-gamewinning streak before falling toVanderbilt in the finals of theSEC Tournament. It was the sixthlongest streak in program history.
On Friday, the Cats have achance to get revenge.
“Real excited, just to play ateam that’s beat us, a great teamlike them,” said sophomore for-ward Terrence Jones. “It’s goingto be an exciting game. They’regoing to come in with a lot ofconfidence since they’ve beat usbefore and give us a great shot.”
Jones struggled when UKplayed Indiana back in Decem-ber, scoring four points with sixturnovers and one rebound. Butgiven Jones’ recent numbers andhis performance so far in thepostseason, he could be the keyto ultimately sending theHoosiers home and advancing tothe Elite Eight.
“(Jones) has been prettymuch dominating, especially inthe stretches where we needhim,” senior guard Darius Millersaid of Jones in the SEC Tourna-ment. “He’ll come out and makea lot of big plays, a lot of toughrebounds and stuff like that to getus going. He’s been a huge partof our success.”
Since Indiana’s win over UK,the Hoosiers went on to earn a15-7 record in the rest of the reg-ular season. Of those games, IUwas 13-1 in the state of Indianaand 2-6 on the road.
And the Cats are famous forattracting thousands of UK faith-ful to the postseason sights.
“Everywhere we go our fansfollow us and give us a lot of sup-port,” Jones said. “I’m definitelyexpecting it to be real blue inthere.”
But it is still March Madness,and so far the upsets in the tour-nament are enough to bust brack-ets nationwide. Regardless, thismatchup is one that will haveboth teams fighting.
“The crowd was really intothe game,” Jones said. “It’s notgoing to be like that in Atlanta. Itwill be a different game and it’sgoing to be a different chance andan opportunity for both teams toshow how much they improved.”

2008, a team that won a school record of 44 games.“We had some good teams in 2006 and 2008
with those kids … but certainly nothing like this atthis time of the year,” UK head coach Gary Hender-son said. “To make a statement like this with whatthese kids have done, that’s been great for us.”

The College of Arts &Sciences’s “Year of China”intiative wants to enrich stu-dents on the culture and lan-guage of Tibet that the peo-ple of the U.S. don’t normal-ly know about.
Year of China is showingthe film, “Dreams of Tibet,”at 6 p.m. Tuesday in WhiteHall Classroom Buildingroom 118.
Every week “Year ofChina” creates a new themeabout China that includes afilm and a lecture series.
“These themes allow forstudents in the 100-level un-dergraduate course to gain acohesiveness with the study,”said Kari Burchfield, staffsupport in international stud-ies.
The goal is not to leaveTibet out of the discussionand to expand the horizons
outside of the Dalai Lama,Burchfield said.
“Students should go tothe film because tension inthe region is likely to contin-ue,” said Jared Flanery, polit-ical science junior. “Manypeople associate the regionwith the cultural tradition ofTibetan Buddhism, and thisdynamic is central to the ter-ritorial conflict.”
Tibet’s religious leaderwas thrown out of the areaand out of control, leavingthe area in a standstill as towho is leader.
Its citizens must decidewhether they will have Chi-na regain rule or if theyshould have another reli-gious leader.
“Tibet is such an op-pressed unit in such a vastcountry,” Burchfield said.“The film addresses the Tibetquestion because there is alot more going on than whatpeople know.”
The film will explorewhy the U.S. is so fascinatedwith Tibet, as well as give abrief exploration of Tibetanhistory and the history ofBuddhism.
“The film really neededto tell what strikes us aboutTibet,” Burchfield said,“about why we should care.”
Along with the film, Shu-mei Shih, a professor fromUCLA, will be speakingabout Tibet on a personallevel this Thursday.
There is also a static dis-play in the Lucille LittleFine Arts Library on Chi-nese musical instrumentsand a multimedia displayavailable in the Hub ofWilliam T. Young Library.
“This is a great opportu-nity for students to better un-derstand Tibet and how wecan relate to other cultures,”Burchfield said. “It’s a wayto see how the country fitsinto the world at large.”

Movie, airing Tuesday, expands view of country
Retailers have finallytapped into the popular waveof reality television.
Last Tuesday the newestshow in fashion reality TV,“Fashion Star,” aired on NBCand boosted sales for threebig-name retailers. The showallows designers to presenttheir looks to a buyer fromH&M, Saks Fifth Avenue andMacy’s.
The buyers then bid auc-tion style on the looks. Thehighest bidder sells the mer-chandise in their store thenext day.
Aside from the buyers,
the designers receive feed-back from designers JohnVarvatos, Nicole Richie andJessica Simpson.
Unlike similar fashion re-ality TV shows like “ProjectRunway,” “Fashion Star” of-fers both customers and re-tailers a key aspect in thefashion business: instant grat-ification.
“Fashion Star” givesviewers the opportunity topurchase the merchandiseselected by the buyers bothonline and in stores the dayafter the show airs eachweek.
Although the show onlyreceived 4.6 million viewersduring its premiere, all threeretailers were pleased to sell-out within hours of makingthe merchandise available.
“Sales of ‘Fashion Star’merchandise exceeded expec-
tations,” Macy’s spokes-woman Holly Thomas said ina Forbes blog post.
This week’s episode isexpected to draw in moreviewers and hopefully anoth-er round of sellouts for theretailers.
You can tune into “Fash-ion Star” on Tuesday nightsat 10 p.m. on NBC.

As a seniorenvironmental sci-ence student atUK, I recognizethe impact myschool and mycommunity arehaving on theglobal climate.Despite incessantpleas from a sig-nificant portion ofthe student body,the university andthe community
insist on contributing further to globalclimate change without any substan-tial discussion about moving towardcleaner, renewable options.
Carbon pollution from coal plantsis one of the leading contributors toglobal climate change, as it is leadingto the creation of a thicker blanketaround the planet’s atmosphere. Thisallows more heat to remain within theEarth’s atmosphere, causing globaltemperatures to rise.
As a result of these rising temper-atures, the entire planet is changingdramatically. Rising sea levels andmore extreme weather will likelyimpact developing countries locatedon the coast and will lead to millionsof deaths worldwide.
I would like to support Lisa Jack-son and the U.S. Environmental Pro-tection Agency as they plan to estab-lish new regulations regarding carbonpollution from coal plants.
The new standards are referred toas New Source Performance Stan-
dards. These air quality protectionswill allow the EPA to focus on theindustries that create the lion’s shareof the nation’s carbon pollution andwill also help reduce life-threateningair pollutants like dirty soot, asthma-inducing smog and toxic mercury.
Global climate change is real. Andit has been proven time and time againby peer-reviewed scientific research tobe directly influenced by human activ-ity. As a young person, I am tired ofbig coal and big oil lobbyists influenc-ing policy decisions that prolong thelife of these extractive industries.
These decisions are a direct resultof greed and selfishness, and areremarkably shortsighted. Garneringpublic support for the New SourcePerformance Standards protections isextremely important as we continue toshow the power of the people.
The EPA should be commendedfor their recent Mercury and Air ToxicStandards, as this will save thousandsof people from dying from mercury-related illnesses each year. However,the most important battle for my gen-eration and for the future of this planetis the fight to reduce greenhouse gasemissions.
We need to stand up to the bigcoal and big oil lobbyists and tellthem that we are tired of their contin-ued greed and exploitation. SupportJackson and the EPA as they embarkon this crucial endeavor.

Rally for regulations against ‘big coal, oil’
PATRICKJOHNSON

What’s on your plate? If youdo not eat locally grown, raisedand/or produced food, more thanlikely you are eating food that isnot real.
This “food” has been chemi-cally processed and refined whileadding artificial ingredients toproduce it in different shapes,sizes, tastes, colors and forms.
Since our government allowsgenetically modified organismsto be consumed by humans andfarm animals, our “food” maycontain foreign genes, whichhave been spliced together inlaboratories.
In the 1950s, petrochemicalcompanies started cheaply massproducing synthetic chemicalsfrom petroleum and developed apartnership with the food indus-try that still exists today. Thispartnership made it possible for“food” to be mass produced andpreserved for long periods oftime while using a minimalamount of natural ingredients.
The “food” we have beenconsuming is sold and marketedas food but does not taste, smellor have the nutritional value thatfood did prior to “the great
experiment.”If you were born prior to the
unauthorized experimentation bythe people of our food supply,then you grew up eating real,whole and natural food —grown and raised by your family,neighbors and/or communityresidents.
However, if you were bornafter 1950 and did not grow upeating locally grown, raisedand/or produced food, then youmay not know what’s on yourplate.
The “food” we have beenconsuming has taken a toll onthe natural environment that weneed to live — the land, air andwater; our individual and collec-tive health; and our state’s econ-omy.
In putting an end to the toll
on nature, our health and theeconomy, we can heed theadvice that George W. Carvergave while working at theTuskegee Institute.
In a 1916 article, Carverwrote, “few, if any realize thewealth within our county and theease with which we can, not onlylive, but accumulate much abovea living.”
In doing so, we Kentuckiansshould resurrect our agriculturalheritage and begin to value landand our connection to it bygrowing food locally.
In addition, we should con-vene with farmers, elected offi-cials, business leaders, educa-tors, chefs, the faith community,community activists, the youthand other citizens to create aregional food system.
The food system we developcan revitalize our health, natureand our state’s economy, whilecreating an alternative to theindustrial food system.
Save the date, register andmake plans to attend the 2012Bluegrass Local Food Summit.The three-day Food Summit isfrom March 22-24 in Lexington.
