Group to ask UK Athletics to move beyond coal

UK Beyond Coal is rallying Wednesdayat noon asking UK Athletics to stop associat-ing with the coal industry.

Many donations have been given to ath-letics from coal operatives. Recently, the UKmen’s basketball team’s new dorm wasnamed the Wildcat Coal Lodgeafter its contributors’ industry.

“I think it is just anothersponsorship,” Kelsey Potter,an English freshman, said. “Idon’t think there is a correla-tion between coal and athlet-ics, but if athletics need mon-ey and that is a sponsor forthem then I don’t see anyproblem.”

Students have differentviews on the issue.

“It is good that they are working with lo-cal industries in Kentucky,” said chemistry

freshman Cameron Day. UK Beyond Coal started in January 2010

with hopes to make UK a coal-free establish-ment.

“We should stop supporting the coal indus-try,” Nasrin Bartetzko, a sociology freshman,said. “We should support renewable energy.”

Joe Craft, head of Alliance Coal ResourcePartners and a UK graduate, donated $7 mil-

lion toward the lodge for men’sbasketball players.

“If you cut it out com-pletely you would be takingout a lot of jobs and peoplewho have made their livingworking with coal,” Pottersaid.

Students can get involvedwith the campaign by attend-ing weekly meetings at 8:30

p.m. on the first floor in theStudent Center.

The rally will be in the free-speech areaby the Student Center.

LOS ANGELES — “American Idol’s”game of musical chairs may have taken anothercasualty as new reports claim Randy Jackson isvacating his post as judge — a spot he’s heldsince the singing competition premiered in 2002.

Jackson is reportedly stepping away fromthe judges’ table but would continue to play arole in the show as a mentor to the contestants.

“Idol” currently relies on guest musicians todole out advice alongside Jimmy Iovine, the in-house “Idol” mentor and chairman of Inter-scope/ Geffen/ A&M (contestants broker dealsthrough Universal Music Group, with Inter-scope proving popular among them).

Speculation over who will occupy thejudges’ table when the competition kicks off its12th season in January went into overdrive themoment Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith leadsinger Steven Tyler announced their departuresafter two seasons.

Pop diva Mariah Carey became the highestpaid judge in reality TV when she inked a deal,reportedly worth $18 million, to replace Lopez.Carey remains the only confirmed judge.

Gossip sites such as TMZ say rap-popchameleon Nicki Minaj’s deal to join “Idol” is“99 percent done,” but the addition of Minajwould prove a logistical challenge for producers.Plenty have focused on her Pepsi deal and howit conflicts with “Idol’s” rather prominent rela-tionship with Coke, but the often pink-hairedperformer still has a headlining world tour onher plate. She just wrapped the U.S. leg and her“Pink Friday Reloaded” tour is set to go fromOctober to December in Europe and Australia(though there are some breaks in the itinerary).

Fox has been mum on further details on the“Idol” judge question, which makes sense givenhow much press has been given to a show that’spremiering after anticipated revamps from com-petitors “The X Factor” and “The Voice.”

A slew of high-profile names have also beenlinked to the show in recent weeks. Dependingon the time of day, the next season’s panel couldinclude Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, MileyCyrus, Nick Jonas, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley,Sean “Diddy” Combs and Kanye West.

When writing a cookbookfor beginners, it’s best to as-sume complete ignorance.Mincing may be new to thereader’s vocabulary. Ricemay require step-by-step in-structions.

“The Ultimate StudentCookbook: From Chicken toChili” (Firefly, $14.95), byTiffany Goodall, offers an al-most foolproof guide for col-lege students who may havebeen eating cereal for everymeal. Photographs accompa-ny each step so that you cansee what it means, exactly, to

quarter an onion. Thoughtbubbles remind you to washthe raw chicken off yourhands.

From a simple omelet toa more ambitious roastchicken to a homey (the au-thor is British) shepherd’spie, Goodall knows her audi-ence. A section on “food on

the move” has a defaultserving size of one. A budg-et-friendly recommendationinvolves inviting friends tochip in for a big midweekmeal. Several recipes are de-scribed as being choice forhangovers (Thai green curry)or before a night out of par-tying (sausage and mashedpotatoes). A page is dedicat-ed to making “vodka water-melon,” which entails scoop-ing a hole out of the melon,pouring in vodka and insert-ing a bunch of straws.

And, brilliantly, amongGoodall’s smoothie recipes isone calling for dried insteadof fresh fruit, which oftenmeets a sad end in the refrig-erators of the kitchen-averse— a group far larger than stu-dents.

The dried apricot andraisin smoothie was the firstin a series of recipes I triedfrom Goodall’s cookbook, totest its novice-friendliness.

Combined with a banana andskim milk, it was a frothyand somewhat chunky con-coction, but tasty and worth-while considering the shelflife of the key ingredients.Next I whipped up a chick-pea, cucumber and red onionsalad to take to work,dressed with just lemon andolive oil, which took aboutseven minutes to make andserved as lunch for the nextthree days.

Inviting a friend over fordinner, I presented as an horsd’oeuvre “the ultimate cheeseon toast,” which is basicallyshredded cheese combinedwith milk, onions andWorcestershire sauce onbread, and baked under abroiler — which I don’t have,so I stuck it in the oven and itworked just fine. Feeling con-fident, I added serrano hamunder the cheese, which wasa good move.

The main dish was a goat

cheese and rosemary risotto,a labor of constant stirringthat turned out fragrant, deli-cious, perfect, probably myproudest culinary triumphever thanks to the easy direc-tions and, let’s be honest, aprofound amount of butter.As Goodall might say in athought bubble: “Amazing!” Ionly wish she had offeredsuggestions for accompani-ments.

I had less luck with thechicken and coconut curry,which turned out bland, thinand soupy. Was it because Ididn’t buy the sunflower oilthe recipe called for, optinginstead to use the vegetableoil I already had in mypantry? Was it because I usedlight coconut milk? Perhaps,but then it would have beenhelpful for the recipe to saywhy such details are impor-tant.

Again, assume completeignorance.

Guide targets college-aged who want more than basics

WASHINGTON — U.S. Education Sec-retary Arne Duncan has reinstated a $27,500fine against Virginia Tech, finding that theuniversity failed to provide a timely warningto the campus community in the 2007 shoot-ing rampage that left 33 people dead.

Duncan reversed a ruling by the depart-ment’s chief administrative judge, who earlierthis year overturned the fine after concludingthat the university did not violate a federal lawrequiring timely warnings of safety threats.

A federal court appeal is a “strong possi-bility,” a university spokesman said.

School officials said they had believedthe approximately 7:15 a.m. shooting of twostudents at a dorm was a domestic incident.An email went out at 9:26 a.m. alerting thecampus community of the shooting and urg-ing people to use caution and contact policeif they saw anything suspicious.

Duncan said that even if campus policehad believed the shooting were domestic, the

university took a series of actions thatdemonstrated “concerns that the crime mightrepresent a continuing threat to the campus,”including locking down its Center for Profes-sional and Continuing Education at 8 a.m.,canceling bank deposits at 8:25 a.m. andlocking down its Veterinary College shortlyafter 9 a.m.

“Although the police department hypothe-sized that the crime was ‘domestic in nature,’the record is clear that the respondent had notlocated the suspect, had not found the weapon,and was confronted with the distinct possibili-ty that the gunman was armed and still atlarge,” Duncan wrote in his decision.

“Faced with this possibility, the respon-dent should have resolved any doubts it hadregarding the timing of the warning by issu-ing the warning before 9:26 a.m.”

Between 9:40 and 9:51 a.m., student Se-ung-hui Cho killed 30 people and himself in-side a classroom building. A second e-mailwent out at 9:50 a.m. warning people to stayput because a gunman was “loose on cam-pus.”

LOS ANGELES — Asstudents head back to schooland recent graduates starttheir first jobs, many are us-ing gift registries — long animportant feature of weddingsand baby showers — to helpthem nab items they want toset up their dorm rooms andfurnish new apartments.

The Container Store, BedBath & Beyond and onlineretailers with names such asDormSmart.com and Dorm-Co.com are encouraging col-lege students to register andclue in relatives who needhelp with gift ideas.

“I registered at the Con-tainer Store for a bunch ofdifferent things for mydorm,” said 18-year-old An-drea Castruita of San Diego,who is starting college inBoston next month. “Then Itold my friends and familywhere I was registered, and ifthey wanted to get anythingthey could look at the list.”

The sluggish economy ispushing cash-strapped stu-dents and parents to askGrandma and Grandpa tochip in and buy sheets, back-packs and laptops. Evenschools are using the servic-es to get supplies for stu-dents.

“For college, you seefolks registering for bedding,for storage pieces, towels orrobes, and items for thedesk,” said Jessica Joyce, aspokeswoman at Bed, Bath &Beyond Inc., based in Union,N.J. “In case anybody wantsto give a gift to a graduate fora going-away party, they cango on our site, type in the firstand last name, and findideas.”

The process works muchlike weddings or baby show-ers: Students or parents cango online to select desireditems, or go into a store andwalk through aisles with ascanner to physically choosewhat they want. Some retail-ers will even print out cards

with links to the registry thatcan be tucked into invitationsto a graduation bash.

DormSmart.com, an on-line dorm supply store, hasseen the number of studentsregistering jump 300 percentin the past three years, saidChief Executive ChristiLeslie.

Leslie said that the soureconomy has pushed morecollege-bound teens to regis-ter for items they might havebought, in better times, withtheir parents or using theirown money. Among the best-sellers are tool kits and laun-dry baskets.

“Especially in a tougheconomy, there seems to bemore family participation inbuying dorm supplies recent-ly,” Leslie said. “I see fre-quently that Grandma is or-dering, aunts and uncles areordering and sending tonieces and nephews.”

Tamara Moores, 25, saidasking for gifts never crossedher mind in the last months ofmedical school in Loma Lin-da, Calif. But then her mommentioned that their far-flungfamily members, many ofwhom planned to see hergraduate in May, were eager-ly asking for gift ideas.

“There was a big confu-sion about what I needed,”she said. “I was on the tele-phone a lot with relatives whowanted to get ideas.”

So Moores searched on

the Internet for an efficientway to clue in her family. In-stead of jewelry — her moth-er’s suggestion — she regis-tered for about 15 practicalitems to outfit her new apart-ment, including a blender,knives, a milk steamer andother kitchenware.

“It’s stuff that is really, re-ally useful that I wouldn’tbuy for myself,” said Moores,who just started her trainingas an emergency room doctorin Salt Lake City. “And it wasgreat for the family memberswho wanted to give morethan money. They knew Iwould like it.”

That’s also a plus for re-tailers who want to avoid thereturn of unwanted gifts.

“When people get giftsthey don’t want, they get re-turned, and there is nothingworse for a store,” said Nan-cy Lee, president of onlinegift service MyRegistry.com.“When you have a gift reg-istry, people can get exactlywhat someone wants andneeds and the store makes afinal sale.”

Lee said teachers andschools scrambling to plugbudget holes are also optingfor registries.

“We find a lot of athleticdepartments at schools areregistering for things like soc-cer nets, 20 basketballs,” shesaid. “Classroom teachers areasking for things in multiples,like boxes of crayons.”

Sunday’s game againstLouisville was a letdown forUK football. A relapse ofsorts. It was far from anyrenaissance that may havebeen thought to come.

Again, the defensive linewas said to be not only thestrength of the defense, butof the team.

The result was 200-plusyards being posted by twoof the Cards’ lesser-knownrunning backs from recentyears.

UK’s offense flipped thescript, much like Louisvilledid to them. The only prob-lem with sophomore quarter-back Maxwell Smith’s 35-for-50 performance was thefallback into old playcallinghabits.

Smith averaged just morethan 5 yards per completiondue to many of those passesbeing thrown underneath onthe dreaded screens that fanshave lambasted Phillips andCo. for since his first seasonat the helm.

Opening this week’s edi-tion of Breaking Bad,though, will be the defensiveline. The offense finally gets

off the hook despite manag-ing just 14 points.

1. Defensive LineIt’s probably safe to say

Arkansas running backKnile Davis, South Caroli-na’s Marcus Lattimore andVanderbilt’s Zac Stacy arelicking their chops to get ago at the UK defense. IfLouisville’s duo could man-age more than 200 yardsagainst it, then it’s unimag-inable what the quality ofthose backs could do. Itcould’ve been dumb luck.Or it could be a forwarningof what’s to come, as UKdefensive coordinator RickMinter alluded to after Sun-day’s display. The questionstill remains as to whatcoaches saw that made thisdefense a strength. Seeingfour veterans on paper, twoof which likely have NFLpotential, would make youthink success would corre-late.

2. SecondaryLouisville sophomore

quarterback Teddy Bridge-water is supposed to be adual threat. While he did usehis legs to shift around thepocket, on Sunday, he re-flected Green Bay Packersquarterback Aaron Rodgers.His choice given the situa-tion was to pass against theCats. Backed up against theCardinals’ end zone, Bridge-water planted a pass directlyinto the hands of his widereceiver, who had UK seniorcornerback MartaviusNeloms posed as his shad-ow. That pass set the tone

for the Cardinals quarter-back. He would go ontolead a drive that comprisedseveral more lengthy passes.At game’s end, Bridgewaterhad set a Louisville comple-tion percentage record ingoing 19-for-21 for 232yards. Many of those com-pletions had the UK second-ary everywhere but blanket-ing a Cardinals wideout.

3. PlaycallingUK’s spring game saw an

offense, although against itssecond-team defense, take a360-degree turn from lastseason’s run and screen-passoriented play. But, like therain that overcame PapaJohn’s Cardinal Stadium,moods were dampened withthe return of a short passinggame. If more shots weretaken down the field to thepoint that it became evident

no success was in sight, thenunderstandable. However,nothing like that was wit-nessed. The Cats attemptedonly a few passes down thefield against the Cards. Whilethe defense wasn’t holdingup its end of the bargain, theCats did find success onthose short pass attempts,thanks to an improved re-ceiving corps, but think ofhow things will go against aspeedy and strong SEC de-

fense. The running game,which wasn’t established de-spite the overhwhelmingpraise it received prior to theseason’s arrival, will need tobe mixed in more often. Sen-ior running back CoShikWilliams and junior Ray-mond Sanders proved to beopportunistic when given thechance. The two Cats com-bined for 100 yards on 13carries. It will work. Simplyexpand on it.

D-line needs to improve before SEC playSecondary, playcalling also areas that need fixing

The Ameritas Players Invitational,starting Thursday at the University of Ne-braska, will provide the UK volleyballteam with its sternest test to date.

The Cats will compete againstDuquesne (7-1), Oklahoma (5-2) and No.1 Nebraska (5-0) over the three-day tour-nament, its third consecutive weekendplaying in a four-team, round-robin invi-tational tournament.

UK went 2-1 last weekend, with winsover Ohio and Western Carolina. A causeof concern is the only loss, which was adominating three-set sweep by then No.17 Oregon, where the Cats had seasonlows in blocks and digs. UK struggledagainst the Oregon attack, unable to de-fend against the Ducks’ 51 kills and .500attacking percentage.

“We were not ready to perform thatday,” UK coach Craig Skinner said. “Itwas all parts of the game. It was not justone thing.”

“Oregon is a good team and we needto be ready to compete when we end upon the floor and get our players experi-ence against good teams like that.”

Skinner has preached since the Blueand White Scrimmage about his team’sdefense. Defense was a focal point duringthe preseason, Skinner said, and is the

key to success for the team.It will not be easy to defend the top-

ranked Huskers. Nebraska averages 15.1kills per set over the early part of the sea-son and features three women who aver-age more than three kills a set on attack,the strength of the team. Also, Nebraskahas already upset defending NCAAChampion and then-No. 1 UCLA 3-1 11days ago.

“We are a very physical team andhave a lot of experience in four or fivepositions on the floor and very green inthe other two positions. It will be a veryphysical battle in a great volleyball envi-ronment so it will be a fun match,” Skin-ner said.

“Anytime you play the No. 1 rankedteam in the country, they are going to bevery physical and able to do thingsaround the net, so your defense has to bewell prepared.”

Skinner did laud Duquesne and Okla-homa as well, saying that his team has “tofocus on Duquesne and Oklahoma, whoare two very good teams in their ownright.”

Oklahoma features a strong defense(2.83 blocks per set) while Duquesne is asolid all-around team that averages morethan 13 kills a set (13.39).

UK will face Duquesne on Thursdayat 5:30 p.m., Oklahoma on Friday at 7p.m. and Nebraska on Saturday at 5 p.m.

LOS ANGELES — It’sshaping up to be a busy Sep-tember for major technologyannouncements.

After months of rumors,Apple Inc. on Tuesday sentout invitations for a mediaevent Sept. 12 in San Francis-co that is widely expected tobe the launch of the iPhone 5.

“It’s almost here,” theemail invite said, with a huge“12” underneath. Althoughthe invite didn’t say specifi-cally what would be an-nounced, the shadow under

the “12” was of a large “5.”The event will be at the

Yerba Buena Center for theArts. The Cupertino, Calif.,company used the same ven-ue in March to announce itslatest iPad tablet computer.

Fall is a busy time fortech product launches ascompanies gear up for hugesales during the holiday sea-son. As rumors swirled thatApple would hold its eventSept. 12, rival firms got ahead start by scheduling theirown events ahead of the techbehemoth’s.

Nokia Corp. and Mi-crosoft Corp. are holding a

joint news conference in NewYork on Wednesday, and Mo-torola Mobility will host itsown event a few hours later.

On Thursday,Amazon.com Inc. will hostan event in Santa Monica,Calif. Reports indicate thatthe e-commerce giant couldannounce a new Kindle de-vice, refresh multiple devicesor possibly debut its ownsmartphone.

Last week Samsung intro-duced several devices, includ-ing the Galaxy Note II, a newAndroid-powered camera anda Windows 8 tablet.

“That Sept. 12 date has

been widely known for quitesome time. There is zero sur-prise that it’s going to be anew phone, and it’s allowedthe competitive landscape toarrange around that pin,” saidColin Gillis, an analyst atBGC Financial. “That seemsa little un-Apple to me.”

Although the other techevents are stealing “a littleslice of (Apple’s) thunder,”Apple’s announcement willstill get the most attention,Gillis said.

“They’re giving other peo-ple a chance to front-run it,that’s all,” he said. “We’ll seewhat everyone else can do.”

It’s expected that thesixth-generation iPhone willbe available for pre-order al-most immediately after theevent, with the device to hitstore shelves by the end ofthe month.

The iPhone 5 is rumoredto be a big upgrade for thecompany’s popular smart-phone, and hype about theproduct has caused Appleshares to surge to recordhighs in recent weeks. Onedownside, however, is thatsales have slowed for currentiPhones because of anticipa-tion over the new model.

Shares of Apple rose

$9.73, or 1.5 percent, to$674.97 on Tuesday.

There’s also a chance thatApple could unveil a rumoredmini-iPad tablet, althoughmany analysts say they thinkthe company will wait untilOctober to make that an-nouncement.

wednesday 09.05.12 page 5kernelopinionsFinally, the school year has progressed

and we are in our third week. That was moreexciting in my head; anymore the classes are

becoming routine andmundane. Lecture, notes,lecture, activity, notes,reading and repeat.

Everyone is experienc-ing this lull, not just fresh-men. Honestly though, itstill is a little exciting forme, because we are still inthe preliminary rounds ofintroductory lectures.

There seems to be a lotof waiting, at least as class-es go. Sadly, just over thathorizon of “possibility”there are numerous proj-

ects and exams.I guess you win some and you lose some.Things have been looking up, considering

my downtime is becoming less and less avail-able. As a freshman, I really am trying to be-come involved in as many organizations aspossible. At this point, I think I have ahealthy balance of clubs, school and regularsocial life.

Now, my regular amount is probably verydifferent from someone else’s regular, let’s behonest.

Coming into UK, I knew that there wasan abundance of clubs and organizations thatyou could involve yourself in, but I had noidea that they were so extensive.

My high school just had a small group ofclubs you could join and were pretty generalregarding the type of club. I am still reallyimpressed that there is such a wide range

available.I mean, there are major specific clubs;

you have no idea how baffled I am by this(but in a good way, I promise). Honestly, Ifeel like Aladdin’s “A Whole New World”should be playing somewhere right now.

Adjusting is becoming easier as the weeksprogress.

I feel like a majority of freshmen eitherreally miss home or are completely fine. Asusual, I fall in the middle of that spectrum.

“Adjusting” is such a broad term when Ithink about it. I say that I’m still adjusting tocollege life, which includes not only the col-lege but the various activities and culture.

Lately though, I feel like I have needed ahelping hand on understanding this weather.Since when did the roads become a river? Ihad no idea that I needed a boat to cross thestreet.

Along those lines, how do you prepare forthese sudden changes? College is costing toomuch money. I have never needed to buy apair of rainboots in my entire life.

Nor have I ever had to learn so much newvocabulary about food alone. I am still reallyconfused as to what Ale-8-One tastes like.I’ve heard it tastes like Sprite but also that ittastes like ginger-flavored ginger ale. Whatdoes that mean? What is burgoo?

It is still very interesting learning all ofthis about Kentucky’s culture.

UK has proved to be a home away fromhome, but like anything, it takes time and get-ting used to. I really have enjoyed my experi-ence so far and cannot wait to fully under-stand Kentucky.

ASHLEIGHEVANS

Contributingcolumnist

letter to the editerOne of the horrible aspects of the Aurora, Colo., and other domestic massacres is that

the weapons and ammunition were bought legally.Those innocent victims were people’s loved ones and could have been our friends,

relatives or ourselves. The 1994 ban on assault weapons should not have been allowed toexpire in 2004.

I have nothing against responsible gun ownership for hunters, marksmen, collectorsor home defense but assault weapons have no role in these pursuits.

The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1791 and assures theright to bear arms in order to maintain a militia because this nation had no standing armyat that time.

This amendment clearly provides the right to own a blunderbuss, a flintlock musketor whatever firearm existed then. It is unlikely that our Founding Fathers could have en-visioned assault weapons or that this bill would be defined to allow their purchase.

Furthermore, the Ninth Amendment states: “The enumeration in the Constitution ofcertain rights SHALL NOT be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the peo-ple.”

The Ninth Amendment overrides the Second one when it intrudes upon the rights ofthe people to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Restricting the availability of ammunition for assault guns solely to the armed servic-es and SWAT teams would be a logical beginning to prevent the killing of innocent peo-ple at theaters, college campuses and shopping malls.

It is now that time ofyear when we have seriousclasswork and dread our firstexam or major project.

It’s not all work and noplay from here on out. It’salso not all play and nowork. Here are some helpful

hints to carry you throughthis first semester. If you area freshman it may be thefirst time you hear this ad-vice and I sincerely hope itis useful.

First, do not fear CatsCruiser, it can get you any-where. Just ask a couplefriends of mine who used itto get to the hospital aftermidnight when one of themsuffered a burst appendix. Ifyou have a car at K Lot, orno car at all, Cats Cruiser hasyou covered.

Go to the UK footballhome games. Yes, I knowthe Cats are not very good,but you can make some newfriends anyway. There areplenty of tailgate parties,and eventually there will beKeeneland and UK hockeygames to make these Satur-days more bearable. Plus, $5a game is a small price tosee some of the best footballteams in the country, even ifthey are beating UK badly.

Do not skip class. For allyou freshmen, you will not

go back later and read the in-formation in the textbook ifyou won’t wake up for class.Someone is paying goodmoney for you to go here,don’t waste it. Get in thehabit of going to class nowbefore it’s cold and rainy.From here on out, a lot oflife will be just showing up,so get a head start.

Also, do not be surprisedthat every restaurant in Lex-ington doesn’t accept Plusaccount. Feel free to be out-raged and take your business

elsewhere. When you do, itallows the upperclassmen toeat at a place that doesn’tfeel overrun by freshmen.

Please cherish every mo-ment you have here at UK.This is a great place and youshould never regret yourchoice to go here. You haveall kinds of memories left tomake whether you have onesemester left or are a fresh-man planning on one day do-ing a victory lap.

There are fields to rush,couches to burn, all nighters

to pull and 3 a.m. Tolly Hotrips for all of us. There willbe basketball games, camp-outs, concerts and rallies toattend. We have to enjoythis lifestyle while we haveit.

Lastly, please read theKernel. I would like to knowthat someone other than mymom and dad are reading mycolumns.
