Projecting into the future
New technology will illuminate UK Opera’s ‘Porgy and Bess’ By Eva McEnrue news@kykernel.com
Audiences of the UK Opera Theatre’s production of the American classic “Porgy and Bess” will be the first to see what might be the future of theatrical stage design. A new scenic projection technology developed by the UK Center for Visualiza-
tion and Virtual Environments (Vis Center) will make its debut in a theatrical setting. “The technology used in our production and ‘Porgy and Bess’ will revolutionize the theatre and answer a major question in theatre: How to produce Grand Opera in theatres not equipped with a fly system of offstage wing space,” Director of UK Opera Theatre Everett McCorvey said. The technology, named SCRIBE (self-
contained rapidly integratable background environment) by the Vis Center, utilizes a software system that blends multiple projections into one image that will be projected from behind onto two screens, which will include still images and video related to the various scenes in the production. This new rear projection system creates large projections using a minimal amount of stage space, avoiding the problems front and rear projected backdrops caused for set design and performers. Normal front projectors can cast shadows and images onto the performers, and normal rear projectors require projectors to be placed far distances behind the screens to create a large enough image of scenery, which can limit stage space.
“This is groundbreaking scenic technology for theatre,” McCorvey said. “The possibilities for scenic elements using the technology are limitless. Using scenic content like this is just the first of many ways that scenic technology may be used in opera, theatre and many other parts of the performing arts industry.” The Vis Center’s new innovative highdefinition projection technology will depict images of real locations in Charleston, S.C. and the islands off the coast of North Carolina that were taken and edited by the Vis Center team, led by set designer Richard Kagey. Actual hurricane footage from The Weather Channel will be used as well. See OPERA on page 2

Hartline receives community service By Patrick T. Sullivan
psullivan@kykernel.com
UK quarterback Mike Hartline will be cleared of public intoxication and disorderly conduct if he completes court-ordered community service, a prosecutor said Monday. Hartline, a senior, was arrested on charges of alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and failure to notify address change to the Department of Transportation at 3 a.m. Dec. 10. Ashley Carnes, Hartline’s girlfriend and a UK cheerleader, was also charged with disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication. Both pleaded not guilty and were found eligible for the Fayette County Attorney’s Diversion Program. If they complete the program,
their records will be expunged, First-Assistant County Attorney Brian Mattone said. “The program is designed to give first time offenders a second chance,” Mattone said. “Most of the participants are college kids who may have had too much to drink.” The program is limited to non-violent offenders. Although witnesses said Hartline struck a woman, no assault charges have been filed in Fayette County District court. Mattone said that in addition to community service, Hartline and Carnes may have other requirements for the program. These requirements are determined by an interview with the offender. A court date to assess Carnes’ and Hartline’s progress is scheduled for March 14.

Since UK head coach Matthew Mitchell has been at UK he’s had no problem landing great recruits. But Mitchell’s highest-ranked player picked UK at a peculiar time, during the middle of the season. Samarie Walker was a top 10 recruit last season and planned on being next in line of Connecticut All-Americans until she recently had a change of heart and transferred to UK. “I am very happy that Samarie has joined the Kentucky program,” Mitchell said in a release. “She is a fine young woman who I got to
know well while recruiting her during her high school career. “Samarie is a talented player who will have an excellent opportunity to make a significant impact at Kentucky on and off the basketball court.” In a statement released by Connecticut, Walker said she didn’t have the "energy and commitment that it needs to be successful" at Connecticut. Walker averaged 6.2 points and 5.8 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per game with Connecticut. Mechelle Voepel, who writes about women’s basketball for ESPN, cited location -- Walker is a Dayton, Ohio native -- as a possible reason for
the decision. Voepel’s article on ESPN.com said Connecticut coach Geno Auriemma was surprised in Walker’s decision to leave and also said Walker told him Walker she had been losing her passion for basketball since tenth grade. Voepel was not available for further comment. Walker can immediately practice with the team but may not travel or play. She will be eligible to play next season after the fall semester and will have three years of eligibility remaining.
Presidential search reaches out to candidates By Becca Clemons news@kykernel.com
A committee has been formed, a search firm chosen and community forums planned. Next on the agenda for UK's presidential search: finding the best person for the job. Advertisements have been circulating the academic world for about a month, Board of Trustees Chair Britt Brockman said, in publications such as The Chronicle of Higher Education. Brockman said from the advertisements, the search committee -- along with Greenwood/Asher & Associates, the ex-
ecutive search firm hired to find UK's 12th president -- will be soliciting nominees and contacting people that may qualify for the job. The position announcement was finalized in November, expressing specific qualities that UK's new leader would ideally possess, such as leadership and management skills, a history of scholarly achievement and effective communication abilities. The announcement also mentions UK's goal to become a Top 20 public research institution by 2020. “I think the committee needs to focus on an individual who has clearly demonstrated that they un-
derstand the complexities of a large organization with multiple missions … and has demonstrated an expertise in balancing the many components within the organization, such as academics, athletics and health care,” University Senate Council Chair Hollie Swanson, one of the three faculty members on the search committee, said in an e-mail to the Kernel. “Given the challenges currently facing higher education, it is also critical that the individual has integrity, a commitment to the ideals of higher education and a vision for See PRESIDENT on page 2

PRESIDENT Continued from page 1 a brighter future,” Swanson said. She also stressed the importance of experience with shared governance in a new leader. “The search committee to this point has not had a lot to do,” Brockman said. Most of the work so far has been in the hands of the Greenwood/Asher. However, when the committee meets after holding its Jan. 28 community forums, there will be much more to talk about. “I believe Jan. 28 will be really when the meat and potatoes begins — when the hard work begins —for the search committee,” Brockman said. He hopes the forums will provide the committee with certain characteristics to look for in the candidates and help narrow down the list of potentials from hundreds of
OPERA Continued from page 1 The technology was originally developed at the Vis Center through a partnership with Fort Knox. Its initial application was to build rapidly deployable, high-resolution screens to be used in training or battle by military. The project grew from a multi-disciplinary research collaboration between Mc-
names to just a few. Brockman expects search committee meetings to be frequent after Friday, since the tentative deadline for a final decision is set for May 1. He called the deadline “very ambitious.” An increasingly talkedabout issue regarding the search is the matter of confidentiality for any potential candidates. Some of the best candidates currently have secure jobs, and revealing that they are interested in a new position could threaten those jobs. “Many candidates will simply not become candidates if this is not held in strict confidence,” Brockman said. He acknowledged the difficulty in honoring openness and transparency if the UK community can know only the finalist chosen to be the next president, but he knows that many candidates may refuse to advance in the search process if they must reveal themselves publicly. Brockman hopes that the
search committee will discuss confidentiality at its Jan. 28 meeting and give a recommendation to the board, whose next meeting is on Feb. 22. It is ultimately up to the board to decide whether or not candidates' identities will be kept confidential or not. “An ideal process is one that would embrace as much transparency as possible such that the faculty, staff and students can be ensured that the best possible candidate has been chosen as the next University of Kentucky president,” Swanson said. Brockman has challenged the search committee to give the board an unordered list of three to five candidates by mid-April. The cost of hiring the search firm is approximately $100,000, Brockman said, not including travel, legal and other expenses. As of now, he estimates the total cost of the presidential search to be between $150,000 and $200,000.
Corvey and Brent Seales, director or the Vis Center. “We plan to see more of these types of real applications of our technology continue to take place as we work with other researchers across the university in the future,” Seales said. “The possibilities are amazing if you consider what research can do when people step outside of their regular environments to interact with those with a distinctly different background.”
SCRIBE will be used for the first time in a theatrical setting for the UK production, and then will travel to The Atlanta Opera for performances of the opera, the first professional opera company to use the technology. “After the Atlanta production is complete, UK Opera and the Vis Center plan to license the technology to a company that will be formed to allow opera companies around the world to use the technology,” McCorvey said.

Sponsor This Dish! The fun is in the commercials What beats rooting for your favorite team on Super Bowl Sunday? Watching the commercials, of course. Along with cars, beers and snack foods, movies will be relentlessly pitched at viewers of Super Bowl XLV, airing Feb. 6 on Fox. In fact, the studios bought at least 13 ad spots (average cost: about $3 million) during the game and pregame show, a record number, according to Variety. Here's what you can expect to see. Paramount may well dominate the game with six trailers. Look out for two animated movies, “Rango” (out March 4), with Johnny Depp voicing a googly eyed lizard, and “Kung Fu Panda 2” (May 26), plus two superhero films “Thor” (May 6) and "Captain America" (July 22). The studio also bought a spot for "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" (July 1). And there's a trailer for J.J.

Attack of the remakes By Cory Stringer features@kykernel.com
Many movie goers are beginning to wonder if there are any original ideas left in Hollywood at all. In recent years, audiences have been offered an increasingly heavy diet of remakes, reboots and re-imaginings. The vast majority of these remakes don’t measure up to the original films, but that doesn’t mean that Hollywood plans to stop the tidal wave any time soon. As a matter of fact, the major studios are pressing forth with an even more ambitious slate of remakes and reboots of such classics as: Lethal Weapon, Total Recall, Spider-Man, The Wild Bunch, The Dirty Dozen, Frankenstein, Godzilla, Cleopatra, Annie and many, many more. While a healthy portion of the movie-going audience looks at that list and prepare for unnecessary remakes, a studio executive can look at the same list and see what others in boardrooms all over Hollywood see: a safe bet. Although critics and audiences complain, the fact remains that even a widely panned remake can make a healthy bundle of money out of the gate before plummeting in its second week of release. By that point, assuming the film was made cheaply enough, it will have already made most of its production budget back, leaving the studio with a good, old-
fashioned cash grab at the box office. In other words… easy money. Film industry journalist and author Nicole Laporte recently explained the “safe bet” mindset of the Hollywood studios. “Whether the film is good or not, your marketing is done,” Laporte said. “People know what it’s about. The overall sense is that if you do these kinds of pictures right, you will still make money.” That may sound cynical, but it’s true. Otherwise, Hollywood wouldn’t be doing so many remakes. In fact, with the budgets of the average major studio film coming in at a minimum $100 million, and the profits from DVD sales continuing to fall, the major studios will undoubtedly continue to play it safe by going through their vast back catalogs looking for more classics to repackage.
sell, and the unmatched FX work of Rob Bottin, John Carpenter’s chilling 1982 remake of the schlocky 1950’s sci-fi classic raised the bar for remakes.
Remakes that surpassed the originals
Directed by Martin Scorsese, this 2006 crime epic is one of the few remakes to ever win the Academy Award for both Best Picture and Best Directing.
The Maltese Falcon Humphrey Bogart’s immortal 1941 noir classic was actually the second remake of the original film. Third time was definitely the charm here. The Thing Utilizing claustrophobic sets, an amazing cast of character actors led by Kurt Rus-
The Wizard of Oz Released in 1939, the Judy Garland classic easily triumphed over the various silent film versions that came before it, becoming so entrenched in the public’s consciousness in the process, that many people aren’t even aware that it was a remake. The Fugitive The Harrison Ford action classic took the basic premise of the original TV series from the 1960s, and improved upon it in every conceivable way, earning co-star Tommy-Lee Jones an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. The Departed
True Grit Doing what few ever dared to do, remake an iconic John Wayne western, the writing and directing team of Joel and Ethan Coen did what many considered impossible: They outdid the Duke.

A fish out of water: an opinion on the new horoscope calendar One night I went to sleep as a fish; the next morning I was not a fish anymore. I had been mysteriously transformed into a “water-bearer.” Talk about an identity crisis. Of course, I’m not actually referring to my appearance. That would be very unsettling. I’m referring instead to the recent talk about the change in the zodiac signs. SARA NELLE For many years I MURPHY identified myself with the Kernel “Pisces” astrological columnist sign, and read my horoscope from time to time, interested to see what was “in the stars” for me. But according to new reports, I may have to start identifying with the “Aquarius” sign. Parke Kunkle, an astronomy instructor at the Minneapolis Community and Technical College, began the whole craze. By observing that the earth’s “wobbly orbit” has affected the way we view the constellations, he drew the conclusion that our zodiac calendar was, therefore, out-of date. The new zodiac calendar pushes the dates back a bit, even adding in a 13th sign, Ophiuchus (Nov. 29 to Dec. 17), the image of a “serpent bearer.” This observation has incited many critics and horoscope-followers to vocalize their anger and confusion at the change. According to many of my friends (and all the rumors from the very reliable Facebook news feed) this new zodiac calendar
only applies to those born after 2009. Even then, I still can’t help but think about all the people who have been affected by this news. I’m sure many of the people who have gotten their zodiac signs tattooed on their body might be regretting their decision. I had never put too much stock into the idea of the mystical power of the zodiac, that is, until recently. For me at least, the description of a Pisces fits me perfectly. I’m creative, sometimes impulsive, artistic, passionate, indecisive and intuitive. But yet, reading the description of an Aquarius, my “new” sign, I could see qualities in myself as well. I’m also tolerant, supportive and enjoy giving advice to others. This showed me something very important. We can read into these horoscopes however we want to, and in that respect, they become self-fulfilling prophecy. If you wake up and read your horoscope, and the stars predict you will have an amazing day, then that is what day you will create for yourself, and vice versa. So no matter whether you are a fish, a scorpion or a man carrying a snake, you still have the choice to decide who you want to be. It is important to remember that although horoscopes may be fun and sometimes true, it is you that dictates your destiny and the path that you’re on. You hold the stars in your hand.

Talk addresses Christian-Muslim divide This past weekend I attended my first Christian-Muslim Dialogue with a close friend. We were asked to participate in a Q & A and a discussion about our experiences. There was a wonderful turnout, despite the cold morning. Cassidy Herrington kicked off the dialogue with her presentation on her month-long journey of wearing the veil. As I listened to FATIMAH the familiar story, I also SHALASH Contributing glanced around at the audience and found everyone columnist engaged with faces full of curiosity. As soon as she finished, hands were raised and she was flooded with questions. What inspired her to wear it? What were the reactions? Would she wear it again? It was so exciting for me as a hijabi to have people be so open about asking questions. Whenever I had the opportunity, I interjected with my own experiences and thoughts on the subject matter. An item discussed in the dialogue that I found most interesting was a back-and-forth on suggestions for how to talk to people who belittle or degrade Islam. This sparked a member to talk about how the media was such a large influence in driving people to be so angry and to have hateful towards Muslims. More so, we all have a responsibility to seek our own knowledge and refute these “facts.” Whenever I used to hear the word “angry,” I connected it with superficial feelings of anger, lack of control or irrationality. Meanwhile, the inside is fueled by fear, hurt, disappointed or something equally painful. When you try to argue with an angry person by yelling or spitting back, you both
may walk away frustrated. But when you seek to understand what is really underneath it all and get to the heart of the matter, there is a completely different story. And in the case of those who feel anger or fear towards Muslims (or vice versa, Muslims feeling anger towards Christians), it is integral to find the source of it. Were they misinformed from the media? What messages are they getting? What are they scared of exactly? What personal reason may they have to want to put blame on the other? These are just some questions to consider. While I am not excusing pure ignorance, I am attempting to find that hidden layer that drives people to act based on fears rather than common sense or knowledge. This is a much better starting point to discussion. I believe that as human beings, when something bad occurs, we inherently feel the need to blame someone or something else as a possible source of healing, because sometimes that feels better than having no explanation at all. All in all, I walked away from the Christian-Muslim Dialogue with a renewed energy. One of the most valuable things I learned is how easily misconceptions can be broken down if one just asks. Not only that, but as Muslims, it is also our responsibility to provide an atmosphere where people can be comfortable asking. There's something contagious about this atmosphere — my hope is that the group will only grow and that peaceful dialogue will spread outside of that room and into the community. *CMDs are held on the fourth Saturday of every month at 10 a.m. at Hunter Presbyterian Church off of Rosemont Garden.* Fatimah Shalash is a marriage and family therapy graduate student.

Gymnastics overcoming fears on beam By Rachel Sarnovsky sports@kykernel.com
UK gymnastics, known around campus as the Gymkats, began its new season on Jan. 8 with a big opening night. The Gymkats won their season opener against Illinois and Northern Illinois with a team score of 194.350. After the first meet, the team was ranked No. 2 in the nation on floor exercise, and seniors Andrea Mitchell and Jasmine Minion were nationally ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, in that event. “Floor’s been great, definitely helps my confidence,” Mitchell said. “I used to be really nervous on floor, and it’s just getting better each week assuring that I can hit a good routine. Everybody’s doing good on floor and we just have to remember to have fun and enjoy life while we’re out there.” The Gymkats have had solid results on vault, uneven bars and
floor so far this year. They are now focusing their efforts on an improved team performance on the balance beam. “Beam has always been a struggle for us at Kentucky and my main goal is figuring out why that is and how we can fix it,” assistant coach Heather Hite said. “I think that we made a lot of steps toward fixing it as far as if we are falling, we’re still getting good scores.” Hite said the beam team has doubts from previous years, but should continue to strive for great results in the future. “Now it’s just a matter of getting the girls to stay on the beam, and that’s a mindset,” Hite said. “That has to come from within them. They’ve done plenty of beam routines and plenty of workouts to where they are successful inside the gym and now they just need to transfer that into their competitions.” Mitchell acknowledged the
impact of having two new faces in the floor team lineup. Kayla Sienkowski and Audrey Harrison have stepped up into the lineup for UK, and Mitchell said both are improving each week. Another freshman, Paige Krall, is stepping up for the Gymkats on balance beam. “Coming in as a freshman, compared to club (gymnastics), it’s been a lot more pressure, and I’ve been working a lot harder,” Krall said. “Starting on beam has been extremely exciting but nerve-racking at the same time. Junior co-captain Whitney Rose said the team is coming together to build a stronger squad. “This is probably one of the craziest years to be a team captain just because we have seven new girls, and that’s like half of our team,” Rose said. “We just wanted this year to be more.ust to say that we’re a family, to almost be like sisters and just be
there for one another inside and outside of the gym.” Junior co-captain Storey Morris echoed Rose’s sentiments. “It’s been a different year than I’ve expected because I’m a co-captain with Whitney, and it just feels like I’ve had a whole lot more responsibilities this year,” Morris said. “This past week I’ve seen a lot of different freshmen step up.” The team’s goal this weekend is to compete in all four events with confidence. “I try to tell them that it’s a new year, it’s a new start, it’s a new team. But at the same time you’re always going to have a little bit of those doubts, and those fears still in your head,” Hite said. “So I think that’s what we’re working on now. We’re not really working on the physical aspect of it, but their mental capacity of going out there and being great is what we’re trying to look at now.”
Polson played his way into playing time By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
Jarrod Polson played three minutes in UK’s win against South Carolina. They weren’t scrub minutes at the end of the second half. They were first-half minutes. UK was leading by nine points when Polson entered with 9:44 to play. He stayed
on the floor for 44 seconds. He checked in again at the 5:45 mark in the first half and played 2 minutes and 11 seconds. His playing time came after head coach John Calipari saw Polson playing harder and better than the rest of the reserves in 1-on-1 drills in practice. “He plays physical in

practice with our players,” Calipari said. “I wanted to give him a chance. Why doesn’t he deserve a chance.” Polson didn’t record any points, but he did attempt a layup on a fast break. He missed, but that was beside the point. “I thought that was the greatest thing ever,” Calipari said. “Like, ‘I belong out here.” For Polson, it must be a welcome sight. He said a week ago that he was tired of all the fans yelling at him to shoot every time he got in at the end of games, a cheer typically reserved for the players regarded as mop-up role players. Polson is a scholarship player who wants to play. Calipari said he was comfortable playing Polson because he plays hard and “doesn’t make mistakes.” True enough, Polson didn’t make any turnovers. “We had Jarrod step in, play a lot of quality minutes,” Darius Miller said. “Didn’t make any mistakes, guarded his man.”
Pregame mentality Calipari was a little intrigued at how his team approached the South Carolina game, considering UK had dropped its first two road games in the conference. “The thing I got on them (Friday) was you don’t have the fire, the passion,” Calipari said. “This is a practice getting ready for a road game and we just lost. You don’t think South Carolina is down there going crazy getting ready for this game? Normally when I would say that to my team, one of the members of my team would say ‘Cal, we got this. Just relax.’ This team didn’t say that. But this team looked ready in shootaround.”
Calipari and Waffle House Calipari said he had a good sense that his team was ready to play before the South Carolina game. “Just had that feeling. Had a nice lunch at Waffle House. That’s usually a good sign,” Calipari said.
