Todd, Calipari discuss fiscal responsibility Students encouraged to be proactive with finances By Gary Hermann news@kykernel.com
Two prominent UK figures urged students to develop good financial habits Thursday. President Lee Todd and head basketball coach John Calipari spoke at the Are You Credit Wise? program in the Grand Ballroom of the Student Center. ISC senior Kayla Klein, an Are You Credit Wise? ambassador, and Student Gov-
ernment President Ryan Smith joined Calipari and Todd to speak at the event. “For a lot of us, this is the first time we are on our own financially,” Smith said. The program, run by MasterCard, has existed for 12 years and reached over 520,000 students on almost 80 campuses. “I’m here today, not only to educate you, but to influence and motivate you to take action now,” Klein said. “So ultimately you can afford the
things you want, when you want them.” Calipari shared his own experiences with the students, including a story about being the parent of a college student. “My own child went away to college, and I got a credit card bill.” Calipari said, “I had to fly to that university and I had to say ‘this bill is bigger than my credit card bill, and I’m traveling.” Calipari had high praise for the students in attendance. “To be concerned about your future is a really special thing,” Calipari said. Todd also shared stories from his professional experi-
ences and gave advice to the students. “Don’t wait until you’re 60 years old and start looking at what you’ve accumulated in a retirement account,” Todd said. “Think about it when you get that first job, because it will come up.” Todd acknowledged Calipari’s commitment to financial literacy and embracing all the responsibilities of a UK basketball coach. “We wanted somebody who wanted the whole job of being in charge of the Big PHOTO BY COLLIN LINDSTROM | STAFF Blue Nation,” Todd said. “He President Lee Todd gives a speech about being credit wise while UK has redefined what that whole men’s basketball coach John Calipari (left) and UK Student GovernSee FISCAL on page 2 ment President Ryan Smith (right) listen on Thursday, Jan. 20.
Starbucks offers new way to pay
IT’S SNOW TIME
App allows smart phones to make purchases By Becca Clemons news@kykernel.com
Popular coffee chain Starbucks announced Wednesday that Starbucks Card holders can use a more convenient way to pay—with their smart phones. The Starbucks Card Mobile App is now available for free download for select Blackberry smart phones and for the iPhone and iPod touch, a Starbucks news release said. This option for payment is available in over 7,500 of the chain’s stores. However, the three Starbucks locations on UK’s campus do not accept this payment option because they don’t have the technology needed to scan the barcodes from a phone’s screen. Since the Starbucks stores on campus are licensee locations, which are different from other franchises, they use different machines to process payments. The on-campus stores use a proprietary cash register system that is not equipped with a scanner. UK Dining Services Executive Director Scott Henry said Starbucks notifies its licensee See STARBUCKS on page 2
Freshman publishes book By Rachel Aretakis news@kykernel.com
Anthony Jones did not let his age stop him from doing something most teenagers and adults never do. Instead, the freshman used his youth to his advantage and at 19 years old he became a published author. Jones’s first fantasy novel, “Blue Destiny,” was published in January and is a part of the Dynamic Dynasty Trilogy. Jones The book follows the 16year-old character, Titus, as he finds a powerful stone and journeys with friends to learn how to use the stone and defeat the evil king. Jones started writing the book when he was a sophomore at Corbin High School and said it took one year to finish. Since then, he has completed the other two books in the trilogy. “It feels wonderful to finally have the book published,” Jones said. “But I feel like I won’t feel fully successful until it’s read and loved.” Jones said that his inspiration has come from J.K. Rowling and his favorite books are the Harry Potter series. He said that one day he just came up with the idea of a powerful stone and from there everything else branched off. The characters in the novel are based off some See AUTHOR on page 2

inclement weather causes delays, closures By Brian Shlonsky bshlonsky@kykernel.com
In 1985, Lexington experienced its Jan. 20 record low temperature of minus 18 degrees Fahrenheit. Twenty-six years later, temperatures were not as extreme. However, inclement weather was still a concern, creating hazardous road conditions for motorists and resulting in school closings and delays. A Thursday evening UK news release announced that classes scheduled for Friday before 10 a.m. were canceled and the university would be running on a two hour delay. Fayette County public school officials canceled school for the entire day Friday. Lt. Scott Blakely of the Lexington Division of Police said that police responded to 73 non-injury accidents between the hours of 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., a higher volume than
normal. "It (the snow) has increased the workload," Blakely said. "I want to caution everyone to increase stopping distances, be patient, use slow speeds and be careful on bridges and overpasses." Blakely said motorists were having the most difficulties on interstates and the northern part of New Circle Road. History graduate student Mike Shepard, who lives seven hours away in Youngstown, Ohio, was forced to leave Lexington later than usual to visit his wife. "I will have to leave in the morning," Shepard said. "But, I was hoping to get more time with her (his wife) this weekend." According to weather.com, as of 9:15 p.m., Thursday's low temperature was 14 degrees Fahrenheit, and an estimated 1.5 inches of snow had accumulated.
Naked Pizza: A healthy alternative Calories, grease and preservatives aren’t welcome at this pizzeria By Kendall Smith features@kykernel.com
A new pizza joint is aiming to make a name for itself in Lexington this year. Unlike most other pizzerias, Naked Pizza prides itself on not only its quality, but also its healthy menu. “Naked Pizza just means that our food is stripped of all chemicals – anything that’s not actually food,” said Krystal Wheatley, general manager of the new Lexington location. “We have a number of things that make us
different. We have fewer calories in our pizza. We don’t add sugar or butter or anything to our sauce. We boost our dough with fiber and probiotics that are essential for a sense of balance.” While a relatively new franchise, this will be the second Naked Pizza location in Kentucky, with even more planned in the future. The first was opened in Louisville. According to Wheatley, there are plans to have as many as 15 locations in the state of Kentucky within five years. Although Naked Pizza
places emphasis on healthy eating, that does not mean you won’t be able to find your favorite pizza toppings. “We have a few specialty items that we already have built for our customers to try, but you can also just build your own,” Wheatley said. “We have all the ingredients. Just because we consider ourselves h--ealthy doesn’t mean we eliminate normal toppings. We provide healthier versions of those toppings.” Because of the nature of their pizza, attempting to make comparisons between Naked Pizza and other pizzerias is a bit difficult. “What we’ re doing is more than just serving food that is
healthy,” said Tom Murro, general manager of the store in Louisville. “We want to change the idea about making as much money as you can selling pizza. It’ s not about the bottom dollar. We do these things not just for the health idea, but because they’re better.” Of course, it is inevitable that there will be those who will at least attempt to draw comparisons between Naked Pizza and other established pizza franchises, but like many other things, it’s all a matter of taste. “You’ll always have preference,” said Chesley Sommer, shift manager at the Louisville store. “It’s regular pizza.

Project helps the wrongfully accused By Colin Walsh features@kykernel.com
The fairly recent advances in DNA-related forensic science have benefitted criminal investigations for decades; in some instances, those advances have also worked to free wrongfully incarcerated criminals. However, all the scientific breakthroughs in the world can’t seem to halt the prevalence wrongful incarceration. For those with legitimate claims of innocence, organizations like The Kentucky Innocence Project are there to help. The Kentucky Innocence Project is a member of an international organization known simply as The Innocence Project. The goal sounds short and simple: exonerate the wrongfully convicted. But the problems that put these potentially innocent citizens there in the first place are numerous, complex and troubling. Eyewitness misidentification, unvalidated or improper forensic science, false confessions, “bad lawyering” and government misconduct are just some of the causes that the Innocence project cites for the epidemic of wrongful conviction. Hundreds of convicts have been freed with the help of Innocence Project branches. Kentucky’s branch was founded in 2001, and since then they have managed to help get 10 wrongfully convicted citizens out from behind prison bars. That’s roughly one per
year, right on par with the Innocence projects national average. No success story, however, is as compelling as Michael VonAllmen’s, whose 1982 conviction was vacated June 4, 2010. VonAllmen served 11 years after he was wrongfully convicted of rape, sodomy and robbery charges. After receiving parole in 1994, the Innocence Project uncovered new evidence that eventually exonerated VonAllmen beyond any reasonable doubt and the court vacated his conviction. Since he has been declared innocent, VonAllmen has been speaking out about his plight and the many others that still share it.
“Students are still a huge part of what we do ... without them we couldn’t investigate half the cases.” LINDA SMITH Supervising Attorney
He will be speaking at the University of Kentucky today at 10 a.m. in the College of Law Courtroom, room 102, telling students about his plight and what can be done. Supervising Attorney, Linda Smith, says that student involvement is an “enormous” aspect of the Project, and that it literally wouldn’t exist without it. “(The Project) originally
PIZZA Continued from page 1 not doing anything outlandish with our pizza, we’re just making regular pizza – a product people know. It’s all about what’s in the pizza.” Joe Snider, another shift manager at the store in Louisville, likened Naked Pizza to the pizza the major chains used to make. “Honestly, it tastes like pizza did from the major chains years ago,” Snider said. “They’ve declined in quality. Any other pizza place you go, there’s not any fiber. Our pizza
started with law students and journalism students and criminal justice students investigating these cases and looking at things our criminal justice system overlooked. It started with the desire to look at the failings in the system and ultimately change them.” Smith says student involvement plays a large role in the project . “Students are still a huge part of what we do, we have some federal funding to hire professionals but students are an enormous part of what we do. Without them we couldn’t investigate half the cases we investigate.” “Half the cases” amounts to about 350 – not such a “light load” according to Smith, which is why she considers student involvement as not only crucial to the project but extremely beneficial to the students because of increased responsibility. “This is one of the few places you can get actual hands-on learning with clients and begin making a difference in people’s lives,” Smith said. “It’s a great place to get your start (in criminal law).” Using Kentucky’s Public Defender Agency the project teams up with Commonwealth law schools. Northern Kentucky University, the University of Kentucky and the University of Louisville all offer the Kentucky Innocence Project Externship to law students. Smith says that the plan for the future is to “make Kentucky a flagship state for criminal justice reform.”
isn’t greasy, either.” Naked Pizza also offers somewhat uncommon topping choices, such as black beans, and even more uncommon side items, such as spinach salads. “We do a lot of different stuff you won’t find at other places,” Snider said. “We have a hydroponic system here at the store that allows us to grow our own basil, for example.” Naked Pizza is located on Broadway in the shopping center under The Lex and will be opening Jan. 22. Store hours will be Sunday through Wednesday from 10:30 a.m. to 12 a.m., and Thursday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 4 a.m. They will deliver through the entire campus area.

His mom, Gina Jones, was also working on getting her own novel published at the same time. Her novel came out the week before his did. Jones said that his mom was the only person who knew he was writing; he did not even tell his friends until a couple of weeks before it was published. He wanted to keep the book a secret in case it was not published, Jones said.
even including student loans.” She spoke to the audience about the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure (CARD) act. “You can no longer purchase a credit card on your own,” Klein said. “Now you have to have a consignor.” She also spoke about creating a budget, setting goals, understanding credit history, establishing good credit, managing a credit card, student loans, and new ways to pay beyond a credit card including prepaid cards and debit
cards. “Any missed payments and other oops that you make they can stay on your credit report for 7 to 11 years,” Klein said. “So trust me, anything you’re doing now is going to affect you later on.” There was a lot of information and advice given to the students during this program. “You don’t want to work for money,” Calipari said. “You want money to work for you.”
Jones’s friend Justin McIntosh, a freshman Agricultural Biotechnology student, said that when he found out about the book, he was both shocked and impressed. McIntosh is currently reading the novel and said it is “well-written and well put together.” Jones is still waiting for reviews of the book, which will determine if it will be available in stores. However the book is now available online at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. Jones said that though he is nervous about the reviews from critics, he is more nervous about what his friends will think of the book. Though McIntosh is still reading the story, he said that he enjoys the fact that the book combines multiple gen-
res such as adventure, war, friendship and love. “My favorite aspect about “Blue Destiny” is that it’s a fantasy book that allows readers to escape their everyday lives and use their imaginations,” McIntosh said. Throughout the publishing process, Jones said he was impatient to get his book published but that it was interesting to see how one becomes a published author. “I had a lot of people talk about how young I was and [they were] surprised I was published,” said Jones. “I like people to know how old I am; it is something I worked hard for at a young age.” More information about the book and Jones can be found at anthonysbluedestiny.weebly.com.

Other Starbucks stores in Lexington near the UK campus, such as the ones on South Broadway, East High Street and Nicholasville Road at New Circle, do accept mobile payment. Starbucks said in the release that the app will increase speed and convenience as customers are paying. The app also allows customers to check their Starbucks Card balance, reload their cards, check their My Starbucks Reward status and locate nearby stores.

Who is to blame? ‘Human shield’ in Egypt Who to blame? A little girl died. A congresswoman has suffered a near fatal brain injury. A federal judge was killed. A national tragedy. And a week later, the question that seems to be first and foremost is: Who are we going to blame? Do we blame the Tea Party members? Sarah Palin made a map of “tarAMANDA geted” congressional disWALLACE tricts and placed a bullseye Contributing over Tucson. Do we blame columnist her? Do we blame the news media for allowing politicians to dance around questions and to spread falsehoods about their political opponents? Do we blame the gun? A piece of cold and unforgiving metal, a magazine with too many rounds? A mechanical device without a conscious or a brain? Do we blame the recent election’s political mudslinging, the seeming inability of those in public office to approach each other publicly with anything approaching human decency? Do we blame the campus police at Pima Community College, who knew that he was a risk to people due to his online threats? Can we expect that every person that writes a threat on the Internet is going to carry that out? Can we hold someone indefinitely be-
cause we fear that they can become a Jared Loughner or a Timothy McVey? Do we blame a failed system that allowed a damaged young man like Jared Loughner to get a gun? Do we blame his parents? His friends? Do we blame his community? In the wake of national tragedies, we are always seeking to blame someone. We are trying to find out just who it is that we can put our own bullseye on. But whenever the image of 9-year-old Christina Green is splashed across the news, or the images of any of the other members of grieving families, I find it more difficult than the political news punditry to blame this on anyone except one person. Jared Loughner. He brought a weapon to a open meeting at a supermarket. He shot two magazines into a crowded room. He intentionally killed six people and wounded almost 20 more. Would he have done this without Sarah Palin’s crosshairs pointed squarely over his district? Would he have killed all those people if his magazines had just been slightly more difficult to load? We will probably never know, but the unfortunate truth is: most likely. In the end, we're trying to find blame when blame can be easily designated. Who is at fault? Jared Loughner. It's no more complicated than that. Amanda Wallace is an English junior. Email opinions@kykernel.com.

On the first week of 2011, thousands of Muslims in Egypt formed a mass “human shield” to protect Coptic Christians leaving churches across the country after Christmas Mass. It had been a year since 21 worshipers were killed and 79 injured by a terrorist bombing at a Coptic church. Last year's bombing immediately sparked tension between Copts and MusFATIMAH lims and threatened a diSHALASH vide in Egypt. Contributing However, under the slocolumnist gan, “We either live together, or die together,” Muslims pledged solidarity against the threat of Islamic militants and strife. They kept their promise, as thousands of Muslims gathered outside churches, held candlelight vigils and risked their lives to protect the Coptic Christian community. Even now, more than two weeks after the event, this inspiring image lingers in my mind. It resonates deeply with all I could hope to happen here in America and across the world: That people will transcend political, social and religious lines and truly love one another. In an ideal world, people would see that when you look past someone's skin color, clothing and ideology, you are looking at yourself. Because when you strip all of those things away, we are all human, and we are all scared of something. We may be scared for our national security, the economy or the future of our health-
care plans. Whether the fear is big or small, we often look up to our leaders to guide us. Unfortunately, the minimal amount of civil dialogue in American government reflects a sad state of affairs. Ignorance, political agendas and “difference” have turned the people that should be working together into enemies. As I sit back and watch the “left” and the “right” struggle back and forth, I recall the mass human shield in Egypt. One of the most powerful things about it was that the common people, not the “leaders,” were the first line of defense for religious freedom. The Egyptian Muslims and Copts possessed courage and insight that we could learn from. They live by the words of our pledge of allegiance, “united we stand, divided we fall,” more than we do in our own nation. They show that people have as much, if not more, power than we could ever imagine and that it’s there for the taking. While their “human shield” was a form of physical protection, it provided a perfect symbol for how we should all strive to live; to protect our fellow citizen as if they were one of our own. These acts could be simple, such as speaking up for a neighbor or a friend, welcoming foreigners in your community or place of worship or attending an interfaith dialogue. If everyone took one step in this direction and remembered that in the end, we are all on the same side, perhaps the world would seem less scary.

Replacing a champion Track and field looks to fill shoes of NCAA title winner By Charlie Cecil sports@kykernel.com
Improvement is on the minds of the coaches and student athletes of the UK track and field team for 2011. This year’s team faces the challenge of trying to fill the void left by great runners such as Rondel Sorrillo, who was the 200-meter dash national champion and runner-up in the 100-meter dash in 2010. “Our heavy hitters graduated,” UK head coach Don Weber said. Those shoes will be filled this year by the very quick feet of junior transfer sprinter Keith Hayes. Hayes brings a confidence to the team that is needed with the inexperience that fills its roster. “As long as my legs are moving I feel good,” Hayes said. Hayes is a transfer from the University of Kansas and is very happy to be wearing the UK blue. "They make you train harder here (at UK) and make you a stronger athlete,” Hayes said of the Cats’ coaching staff. Hayes wants to be on top of his game, especially for the meet against Louisiana State University and four time AllAmerican Barret Nugent in the hurdles. “I want him to bring it,” Hayes said, “I am calling him out.” Anchoring the Lady Cats this year will be All-American senior Jenna Martin, who specializes in the 400-meter dash. She has made it her goal to be back at All-American status and improve every day. “I want us to be in the top three of the SEC if not win it all,” Martin said. The team this year seems to be in very high spirits and Martin credits the new attitude to Althea Thomas, the women's

Weber is entering his 27th year as head coach with UK. He is excited about the young talent of this year’s team and is pleased with what they have shown so far working outside of practice. When asked what the motto of this year’s team is, Weber quickly quoted Penn State head football coach Joe Paterno. “What matters in sports is not the victor but the magnifi-
cence of the struggle,” Weber said. His style for this year’s team is to focus not only the body of the athlete but to condition the mind as well. He wants his players to get the best out of what they have and to not just become faster but to learn more about themselves as well. He wants them to be able to push themselves further and to quiet the voice inside telling them that they can’t train any harder. “You can have the fastest car but it has to be programmed right to go full throttle,” Weber said.
