Study abroad fair a success By Drew Teague news@kykernel.com
Students browsed to see where they wanted to go in the world, on Wednesday, and learned how many credits they could obtain while there. The Education Abroad Fair, featuring summer session trips, was held in the Student Center Small Ballroom between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. showcasing various places around the world. “Apparently there have already been several hundred (students),” Director of Education Abroad Anthony Ogden said. “We expect to have all in all about 400 to 500 students.” Rochelle Keesler, student affairs officer with the International Affairs office, said there were numerous groups in attendance promoting opportunities to take UK students all around the world while earning UK credit. “There are 24 booths here,” Keesler said. “Some of them are the UK faculty leg groups. There are 16 partner programs that have come in from all over the country for their different programs.” Not only were faculty and various programs there showing off what they have to offer, but also there were several student groups. “There are the five student groups displaying what their groups do,” Keesler said. Once such program is through Arcadia University, a small university in Philadel-

The Education Abroad Fair was the first ever held in the spring semester. phia, Pa. Dru Simmons, the assistant director of the Midwest region for Arcadia University, was present at the Education Abroad Fair, showing opportunities their university has to give UK students to earn credit abroad. “We have been running study abroad programs for more than 60 years,” Simmons said. “For about the past 40 years, a number of our programs have been open to students who are not studying at Arcadia.” Simmons said their programs all focus on a close relationship with the various college and university’s study
abroad office, where their programs are available. “It’s all through the relationship we have with [the students] home campus’ study abroad office,” Simmons said. “So they’ll know while they’re there they will stay registered like at UK, bring the credits back here to UK, access UK financial aid.” One student, accounting and economics senior William Dick, was interested in studying abroad in Spain and looked at various tables to see which option of visiting there would best fit him. “The biggest thing is my sister did it when she was in
college,” Dick said. “She went to Spain and she said it was the best trip she’s ever been on, life changing.” Dick said the trip would help him learn another language, which would help him with a possible minor. “I figured that would be something I need to check out,” Dick said. “I think I’m going to minor in Spanish also.” For more information about studying abroad visit http://abroad.ad.uky.edu/ or visit a First Step Session in 307 Bradley Hall Monday’s and Tuesday’s at 4 p.m. or Wednesday’s and Thursday’s at 3 p.m.
Signing class solid ‘top to bottom’ By Nick Craddock ncraddock@kykernel.com
A couple of swings-and-misses on in-state prospects didn’t stop UK head coach Joker Phillips from championing his 2011 signing class as a homerun on National Signing Day. “From top-to-bottom, this is as good a class as we’ve ever had at UK,” Phillips said of his 26-player signing class. Eastern High School (Louisville) tight end/athlete Jon Davis had verbally committed to UK, but chose to sign with Illinois on Wednesday. Likewise, Boyle County High School and fourstar linebacker Lamar Dawson, Kentucky’s Mr. Football, announced at a news conference on Wednesday that he would sign with South Carolina rather than his home-state team. “We’re not worried about the guys who aren’t here … the only guys we worry about are the ones who want to be here,” Phillips said. “We don’t worry about how many stars a guy has, how many accolades a guy has.” Said Phillips, who used former
Cats (and current NFL players) Jacob Tamme, Keenan Burton, Wesley Woodyard and Tim Masthay, among others, as examples of UK’s ability to find diamonds in the rough: “If you take a look at the class today, we’ve done a good job of projecting the future stars of Kentucky football.” Despite losing out on two highlytouted Kentucky prospects, UK didn’t have to only settle for unheralded recruits. The Cats landed four-star defensive back Glenn Faulkner, who highlights the UK recruiting class in terms of the Glenn Faulkner recruiting ranking system and is the No. 1 prospect in Illinois, according to Rivals.com. “(Faulkner’s) one of the better athletes in this class,” said Phillips, who added that, unlike this time last year when he was one month into his tenure as UK head coach, he got a

chance to visit with each of his signees and said this was an “explosive group” and that the “roof is the only thing that keeps some of these guys in the gym.” Gaining athleticism and depth at the wide receiver and running backs position were two areas of emphasis on the recruiting trail, Phillips said. Georgia tailbacks Marcus Caffey and Josh Clemons, the Cats’ top-two targets at running back, both signed on the dotted line for the Cats. The Cats also landed four threestar wide receivers—Rashad Cunningham, Nile Daniel, Demarco Robinson and Daryl Collins—who Phillips said are “true” wide receivers, not athletes or quarterbacks that will have to be converted to that position. “We lost a lot of production with Randall (Cobb) and Chris (Matthews leaving), and we return some good players, but these young guys will be able to come in here and play early,” UK wide receivers coach Tee Martin said. “They’re too talented not to play early.” See SIGNING on page 2

In this technological age, people like Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg can invent new products and start companies while still in college. The question still looms as to whether a university has ownership to what its students, faculty and staff create. UK does have official guidelines regarding the intellectual property of its faculty, staff and students. According to UK Administrative Regulations, Developments in recent years have broadened the scope of information and technology that can have potential commercial value and that, therefore, should be treated as assets subject to university ownership and control. UK’s current Intellectual Property Disposition and Administrative Regulation went into effect on June 22,1993. The UK “policy covers all intellectual property conceived, first reduced to practice, written, or otherwise produced by faculty, staff or students of the University of Kentucky using University funds, facilities or other resources,” according to administrative regulations. Not all intellectual property is controlled and owned by the university. Whether significant university resources were used is a determinant in whether intellectual property is claimed by the university, said Don Keach, Intellectual Property Development Director in Commercialization and Economic Development. “Traditional products of scholarly activity which have customarily been considered to be the unrestricted property of the author or originator are excepted from the general policy,” according to administrative regulations. Keach said the Intellectual Property Committee generally rules that things like articles and books are traditionally done by scholars. “When a University faculty member, staff member or student develops or originates an item of intellectual property which, under the terms of this policy is to be owned and controlled by the university, the individual shall report the intellectual property to the Intellectual Property Committee,” according to administrative regulations. UK helps these creators get their ideas off the ground. “The university pays the expenses for the patent,” Keach said, “so the university employee is not out any money for the patent application.” The university having control and ownership of one’s intellectual property does not mean the person is removed from the commercialization process for their property. According to administrative regulations, “A primary objective and responsibility of the university shall be to assure that the products of its intellectual activity are brought into the widest possible use for the general benefit of society.” Also, “Active originator participation in all commercialization efforts shall be vigorously sought.” Alan Scher Zagier of the Associated Press recently reported on a case of intellectual property involving University of Missouri student Tony Brown, who “came up with an idea in class one day that spawned an iPhone application that has had more than 250,000 downloads since its release in March 2009.” In his report, Zaigier said, “The invention also raised a perplexing question when university lawyers abruptly demanded a 25 percent ownership stake and two-thirds of any profits.” UK specifically lays out percentages for commercialization of its intellectual property. “Commercialization of intellectual property covered by this policy shall be shared as follows: 40 perSee TECHNOLOGY on page 2
Local business unveils new charity By Eva McEnrue news@kykernel.com
Every car needs tires. Every tire has a valve stem. Every valve stem needs a cap. Every cap can now make a difference. S&S Tire, the only locally owned and operated tire and service centers in Lexington, put charity in motion Tuesday through “Caps 4 a Cause,” a new line of pre-packaged universal tire valve stem caps. This new retail program uses tire valve stem caps to raise awareness and provide financial support for five Central Kentucky charities, including the Kentucky Children’s Hospital. “The possibility for S&S Tire to be able to raise awareness and money for charity is very motivating,” said Rick Paynter, retail director of S&S Tire. “Imagine the significance for the community if every car Opinions.............6 Sports..................8 Sudoku................2
in Lexington used these caps.” The caps come in five colors, each dedicated to a different charity. Each package comes with four valve stem caps and retails for $5.00 with 100 percent of the net profits going toward the customers selected charity. The caps are available only at the 13 retail S&S Tire and Auto service centers. “We have the possibility to make a big impact from a small valve stem cap,” Paynter said. The charities benefitting include: Kentucky Children’s Hospital (royal blue), Wounded Warrior Project (yellow), Susan G. Komen Lexington Chapter (pink), Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Kentuckiana (light blue) and the American Heart Association, Central Kentucky Chapter (red).

“The Kennedys” LOS ANGELES A U.S. home has finally been found for "The Kennedys." The controversial eight-hour miniseries about the life and loves of President John F. Kennedy (Greg Kinnear), his wife Jacqueline (Katie Holmes) and their storied family is headed to ReelzChannel, the Albuquerque, N.M.-based digital outlet available in more than 56 million U.S. homes. "The Kennedys" signals a major move into original scripted programming for ReelzChannel, which has so far relied mainly on Hollywood theatrical movies and noted critics such as Leonard Maltin and Richard Roeper. In a statement, ReelzChannel Chief Executive Stan E. Hubbard alluded to the controversy surrounding "The Kennedys." "We believe in the business we are committed to," Hubbard said. "If that means defending the right for well-told and important stories to be seen then so be it. "We're not beholden to anyone. ... As an independent, we have the freedom few networks enjoy." "The Kennedys," which cost an estimated $30 million, was pushed on to the open market after History, the cable outlet that commissioned and helped finance the miniseries, decided last month not to air the project in the U.S., saying that it did not fit with their brand. The parent company of History, AETN, then held talks with other potential distributors, including Showtime, FX

Among its producers are Joel Surnow, a well-known conservative who executive produced Fox's espionage hit "24." Canadian studio Muse Entertainment split the costs of the project with AETN. Surviving members of the political dynasty including Caroline Kennedy, the president's daughter, as well as former California first lady Maria Shriver, the president's niece are believed to have pressured the network not to run the miniseries. The late Theodore Sorensen, a Kennedy adviser and speechwriter, called the project "vindictive" and "malicious." Last week, Robert F.

However, Kennedy the son of former Sen. Robert F. Kennedy said he was not aware of any family member who had protested directly to network officials.

LOS ANGELES _ The White Stripes are calling it a day. In a statement posted Wednesday on their website, interest in which apparently caused the site to crash Wednesday morning, Jack and Meg White jointly said they will make no more recordings or live appearances as the White Stripes. Here's the full text: The White Stripes would like to announce that today, February 2nd, 2011, their band has officially ended and will make no further new recordings or perform live. The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as both Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health. It is for a myriad of reasons, but mostly to preserve what is beautiful and special about the band and have it stay that way. Meg and Jack want to thank every one of
their fans and admirers for the incredible support they have given throughout the 13 plus years of The White Stripes' intense and incredible career. Third Man Records will continue to put out unreleased live and studio recordings from The White Stripes in their Vault subscription record club, as well as through regular channels. Both Meg and Jack hope this decision isn't met with sorrow by their fans but that it is seen as a positive move done out of respect for the art and music that the band has created. It is also done with the utmost respect to those fans who've shared in those creations, with their feelings considered greatly. With that in mind the band have this to say: 'The White Stripes do not belong to Meg and Jack anymore. The White Stripes belong to you now and you can do with it whatever you want. The beauty of art and music is that it can last forever if people want it to.
Thank you for sharing this experience. Your involvement will never be lost on us and we are truly grateful.' Sincerely, Meg and Jack White The White Stripes A spokeswoman for the duo said there would be no further comment beyond the announcement. The White Stripes released six studio albums since forming in 1997, and the live album "Under Great White Northern Lights" last year. Its last studio album, "Icky Thump, came in 2007 and reached No. 2 on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart. The duo collected four Grammy Awards, and Jack White picked up a fifth related to his work in the White Stripes as the writer of "Seven Nation Army," named best rock song for 2003.

New club takes politics out of energy issues By Luke Glaser features@kykernel.com
Schroader
McCarney
While UK’s goal to be a top-20 university revolves around the bigger aspects of college like enrollment, faculty and research, but it also involves the smaller things, down to the clubs that students join. Bree McCarney realized this when she brought the Energy Club to UK. The UK Center for Applied Energy Research hired McCarney as an energy club coordinator when it recieved a grant from the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet to help post-secondary schools throughout the state start energy clubs. “It was a great idea and a good grant,” McCarney said. “All of the top-20 universities have energy clubs.” McCarney recruited student interns working at CAER to help her start an energy club at UK. One of those students was CAER intern Evan Schroader, a mechanical engineering junior, who is president of the Energy Club. “I was definitely very interested,” Shroader said. He said that “there are a bunch of clubs on campus that are very specific,” but that the Energy Club will take a much broader perspective on energy issues and will “cover all facets of energy.” McCarney said the club, which is modeled after the energy club at MIT, is the only one of it’s kind in the state so far. She said the fact that UK’s Energy Club will be scientificaly fact-based rather than activism oriented sets it apart from other student groups related to energy. “We are pretty rhetoric free,” McCarney said. “We aren’t opinionated,” Shroader said. “I think we will be received with open arms, because we’re not saying ‘go all green’ or ‘go all coal.’” Members feel pleased with the club’s reception so far. Shroader said 13 students came to the club’s first organizational meeting despite heavy snow, a locked building and a lost pizza man.
The Energy Club has service projects, site visits and a disscussion series planned for its first semester. The first speaker in the discussion series will be John Groppo, a senior engineer and associate program manager who works for CAER. “He is kind of a consultant for our group and always has very effective and appropriate input for whatever we are doing," Schroader said. According to club flyers, Groppo will lead a discussion entitled, “U.S. Energy Situation: Where we are and where we’re heading.” The club will meet every other Thursday, with topics ranging from nuclear energy, hydro, the grid and coal, Schroader said. In an attempt to be cross-departmental, the energy club is seeking to work in conjunction with the Solar Car Team, Sustainability Council, Solar Decathlon, the Design School and the Gatton School of Business. The energy club is also working with a green marketing class in Gatton. The club is also working with a plethora of groups in order to recruit a diverse membership. “I don’t have a specific student in mind,” McCarney said. “We all have a certain language we are learning to speak depending on our departments and majors. That’s great, but to be really successful, you have to learn to speak a different language and use a different vocabulary.” The energy club will not just consist of speech and academia. It is planning visits to a coal mine, the Cooperstown Plant and a trip to Maker’s Mark Distillery to view energy-conserving technology. These site visits are planned once a month and incorporate the various roles that energy plays in our lives. For Schroader, the club’s timing could not be more perfect. “I think our energy issues are quite evident,” Shroader said. “The oil crisis is quite evident, but there are many other issues. We need to understand what we use and how we can use less." Hoping for a good turnout, McCarney is excited about the energy club’s potential. “The sky is the limit as far as what we can do.”

Not just for Cinderella: affording a stylish wedding SHELISA MELENDEZ
Kernel columnist February has arrived. Love is in the air, and wedding bells are ringing. Almost every girl I know has planned out her wedding to the “T.” I’m talking about what color the bridesmaid’s dresses are, what food will be served at the reception, what font will be on the wedding invitations, what month the happy couple will say “I do,” how the bride will style her hair, what dress her mother will wear but, more importantly, the dress that the bride will wear! I know for a fact it was Walt Disney himself who planted the beautiful “happily ever after” fairytale in my head at the tender age of three: the perfect story of Cinderella marrying her handsome prince in an elaborate castle, without a care in the world. Yes, her glass slipper was what ultimately led her back into the arms of her prince, but it was her elegant wedding dress that always caught my eye. As I grew older, spending hours watching Cinderella soon turned into spending hours watching TLC’s “Say Yes to the Dress.” I love watching the Kleinfeld consultants hunt for dresses and
the emotionally distraught brides--not to mention the outrageous prices. I just can’t see spending the cost of a down payment of a house on a dress I will only wear for less than 12 hours. For years, I always associated the name Vera Wang with “perfect wedding dress.” She has designed wedding gowns for Ivanka Trump, Kate Hudson, Jennifer Lopez and Victoria Beckham, just to name a few. Of course, her gowns are not the most affordable; some custom high-end gowns cost as much as $15,000. Sadly, my dreams of ever wearing a Vera Wang wedding dress on my special day were pretty much thrown out the window after seeing those prices, but two words kept my dreams alive: David’s Bridal. That’s right, David’s Bridal. It was just last spring when Vera Wang and David’s Bridal announced their upcoming collaboration, and one year later “White” by Vera Wang is almost here. According to an NBC article, the first 20 dresses in the line are set to hit stores Feb. 11 and will range in price from $600-$1,500. Due to the struggling up-scale bridal market, Vera Wang decided to join forces with the mainstream bridal retailer. According to David’s Bridal, the company accounts for 30 percent of the bridal business; which is more than Vera could say about her
company when standing on her own two feet. The bridal market seems to be getting more and more competitive, as if it weren’t competitive enough already. If you were unaware, J.Crew has had its very own bridal collection for almost a year now, and joining in on the bridal fun is the trendy retailer, Urban Outfitters. On Feb. 14 (appropriately so), Urban Outfitters will debut its wedding brand BLDHN on their online boutique, bldhn.com. According to stylelist.com, BLDHN will offer a curated collection of wedding gowns, bridesmaid frocks, party dresses, assorted jewelry, headpieces, footwear and lingerie, with prices ranging from $1,000-$4,000 for gowns and $200-$600 for event dresses. A stand-alone store is expected to open the second half of the year. So whether you are currently engaged, in hopes of that surprise proposal or simply a hopeless romantic at heart, there is a dress out there with your name and price tag waiting for your arrival.

he first thing you see when you walk into the Student I.D. Office in the Student Center is a huge UK flag. Believe it or not, the cash you had to pay to replace your last lost I.D. card didn’t pay for it. That money also didn’t go towards the latest, professionally framed m en’s basketball team poster, the old “Vertical Horizon” poster from when the band visited campus before they made it big, nor the vintage copy of a painting of UK’s first real football venue, McLean Stadium. All these, and over 50 more, were free. Before Karen Doyle, the Student Affairs coordinator for Student Involvement, brought in the first posters 15 years ago, the walls and desks were gray. She wanted to add something students could look at while they were waiting in line to have their photos taken. “There were four posters, two on each side of the wall,” Doyle said. “I just had to put something on those bare walls. Then from there my students just kept brining me posters.” Doyle’s crew of student employees, which numbers about 40 during the school year, would bring back a poster every time they went to an athletic event, a play, a concert or an art show, and the wall art quickly began to multiply. Posters were stacked on top of posters as the sports teams began to catch on to the tradition and proudly bring their own team posters to the office for display. Doyle just hung them up with all the rest. “We had so many at one time that just about every morning we would have to tape up another poster that was losing its grip at a corner,” Doyle recalled. Many of the students pictured on the posters came to sign their names by their photos. Great athletes, dancers, musicians and coaches have all stopped by to leave their signatures. Coach Tubby Smith stopped by the office back in 1997 with a new player, Doyle said, and personally introduced himself. Several years ago, Doyle had someone reorganize the dozens of posters in a more pleasing way, and now instead of a free arrangement of posters layered on top of each other, there is a more methodized organization to the madness. Above the office’s first desk, which belongs to Account Clerk Connie Mellon, you can see the oldest, a track and field poster from the 1994-1995 season. Mellon has worked in the I.D. Office for four years, and she’s a big fan of all the UK sports and UK students. “I love the kids, I just love talking to them,” Mellon said. “And I love to see the older guys come back to finish school… because we still remember all of them.” She gets to see returning athletes who have left UK for a few years to pursue professional athletic careers and are back to finish up their degrees. They stop by the office for a new I.D. and usually get asked to sign their old posters. Andre Woodson just returned to campus a few weeks ago and signed by his picture. Mellon’s desk also has some other intriguing pieces – Josh Harrellson’s broken (but autographed) I.D. holder; a rare, signed photo of Coach Cal (especially rare because “basketball” is misspelled in the large caption); and a framed poster of last year’s men’s basketball team, containing the signatures of every player. But perhaps the most recent talked-about piece in the office is the newly coined “legend of the I.D. Office wall,” Doyle said. On the wall by the first desk, John Wall was one of the first players to sign his name on the grey cinder block wall with black permanent marker. Mellon said this tradition started last year when a few players came in to sign their poster but realized one wasn’t hanging in the office yet. They instead signed the wall and agreed to bring in a poster to put on display, as well. “The wall is our new thing,” Doyle said. “Hopefully they won’t come to paint anytime soon, but if they do, I guess we’ll have to take a picture of the wall and have it made into a poster, too.” Doyle’s favorite wall display is an old painting of the first football stadium, which was built where the Singletary Center now sits. She remembers going to see games there with her family and enjoying the architecture of the simple, concrete stands. She said that poster draws a lot of attention, especially from the parents. “There was one guy who came in here and he was so excited about that poster that he just kept talking about all his memories from that stadium,” Doyle said. “We didn’t think he’d ever leave, he told us so many stories.” With the exception of one poster, which Doyle admitted she paid a buck for, all of the posters were either free or donated. The posters that are framed were paid for by the staff, not by I.D. fees. Those, Doyle said, are used to purchase new equipment and supplies for the office. “Our office doesn’t get any funding from any outside sources,” Doyle said. “We are selfsustainable.That’s why we have to charge the students a fee.” I.D. cards have come a long way from the old systems, and Doyle said cards are more secure now than ever. “We only make I.D.’s for people who need I.D.’s, and that’s because we care about your safety,” Doyle said. So next time you’re in the office for a new WildCard, take a look at the walls. See if you can pinpoint which poster inspired the growling wildcat graphic on your card – because one of them did.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
(In response to Rachael Wylie’s article “A gymgoer’s plea to campus”, published on January 31st, 2011). How should I describe the subject matter of this author’s article? Her article was pompous, condescending and ostracizing. This article not only supports the excessively superficial gym goers on campus but it also ostracizes the enormous group of individuals motivated by other factors excluding the model physic. Exercising is not always about burning calories and pumping iron to produce a
leaner you. For many people it is a relaxation technique. Miss. Wylie, please do all the pleasant gym goers a favor by leaving your elitist and negative attitude at home next time you decide to go to the gym. It is people who share the opinion you stated in your article that make it increasingly difficult for new gym goers to continue down a path that already has enough resistance. People who maintain healthy and physically fit lifestyles should be supportive of all shapes, sizes and speeds.

The best way to avoid this fate is to prevent it. Even if you don’t have high triglycerides by the time you graduate, it’s much easier to change your behaviors
now, than when you are older. The easiest ways to protect your heart are to exercise, eat healthy, ease stress, and don’t smoke. You don’t have to run marathons to protect your heart – just get moving enough to get your heart rate up. When you exercise, you should be able to carry on a conversation, but be somewhat breathless. Exercise for at least 30 minutes, 4 to 5 days per week. It really doesn’t matter what you do; just get moving! Dance around the room, play hacky-sack, go for a walk, learn to ballroom dance, or head to the Johnson Center for a spin class or
pick-up basketball. You don’t have to do all activity in one session, either. It can be broken up into 10

You know you should eat right, but you may not be sure what that means. Many times, professionals talk about what you have to eliminate from your diet,
but here are some foods that you can add to your diet: high fiber foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, heart healthy fats like nuts, olive oil, flaxseed, avocado and omega-3 fatty acids like those found in salmon and trout. Of course, it’s still important to limit the burgers, fries, chicken wings and sodas. Maintaining a healthy weight will help prevent many diseases, including heart disease. Remember to watch your portion sizes – it’s good to leave the table feeling satisfied rather than stuffed. Jill Kindy is the Health Education Coordinator at the University Health Services.

Birthdays vary Finding the beauty in one’s self-image country by country I am waiting on the clock. In 45 minutes, I am going to be 22 years old. Whenever my birthday gets closer, a flash of the whole year goes through my mind; WAQAR KHAN a photoGuest graphic columnist montage of everything that happened to me in this past year. As I step into a New Year, I hope for a better world, a better tomorrow and a better time. Although birthday traditions are believed to be the same in most countries, there are some major differences in birthday celebrations. Culture, family heritage, religion and language shape the way this day is celebrated. Birthdays are a big thing in the United States as well as throughout Europe. In Poland, for instance, it is especially important when you turn 18. Dariusz is an exchange student from Poland at the UK. A Business and economics major, he transfered from the University of Warsaw in Poland. According to him, the 18th birthday is a big day of acknowledgement and celebration for friends and family. But the older you get, the less you celebrate your birthday. Instead, there is a special day for each name in Poland known as “Imieniny” (Name Day). For example, Imieniny Day for Dariusz is December 19th, and he celebrates this day in place of a
grand birthday. Many African countries celebrate birthdays in a special way as well. In many cultures individual birthdays are not observed. Instead, they celebrate group birthdays with other people around their age. When I think of my birthday, I don't think of the years that have passed. There is a specific tradition from where I am from. Back home in Pakistan, and more specifically the rural area where I am from, most of the people don't know their birthdate. One only knows general facts, such as whether it was winter or spring, or that the person is 3 year younger than their elder sister. Instead, their “birthdate” starts when they enroll in primary school. Admission offices never ask for your birthdate. Mostly they can guess by looking at the prospective student. I’m lucky because my birthday is documented properly. I still remember seeing an old financial register where my name is written in Arabic script with my birthdate. A friend from Afghanistan said to me, "I found my birth certificate when I was working on my masters degree in the United States of America.” During wartime in Afghanistan, he was displaced several times. He lost his birth certificate during this time of upheaval. This was the first time he had seen it in 25 years. He was shocked to discover that he had aged two years without knowing it.

I recently read some advice by a blog I frequent, Smart Pretty and Awkward. T h e author, M o l l y Ford, off e r e d s o m e g r e a t words of wisdom. FATIMAH “You may SHALASH n e v e r Contributing k n o w columnist what issues others are facing, and many people struggle with body image distortions,”, says Ford. By keeping your own comments about your body positive, you are both reminding and reinforcing to yourself what a beautiful person you are and serving as a role model to those who may be silently struggling to see their own beauty.” What struck me the most was the truth that rang so
clearly with the words “silently struggling.” Because for most, the struggle to see their own beauty is not just a passing phase in adolescence. The battle to feel good about one’s self and body is intertwined, and something that affects young and old and male or female. That adolescent we once were is still part of who we are, but in a different form. We learn to hide our insecurities, perfect our image through Facebook and fake confidence. Meanwhile, we silently compare ourselves to others, often putting those that appear more successful, pretty or intelligent on a high pedestal. From experience, this act pushed me to think self-degrading thoughts telling me that who I am was not good enough. I found it’s easier to believe the negative messages I heard and harder to trust the
positive ones. This was my own “silent struggle.” When handed criticism I took it to heart as the truth; quickly deflecting compliments and unable to just say “thank you.” But there came a time when I realized that I could start to choose what messages to hear and accept about myself. And those messages weren’t just ones that came from others, but the ones I told myself. Instead of putting anyone on a pedestal, I tried to see everyone as standing on an even playing field. Instead of focusing on my flaws, but only noticing other’s “perfections,” I started to see everyone and myself as is, the good and the bad. This lens went beyond body image and became more about self-image, and I knew what I needed to do. If I wanted to discover who I really was, I would have to face the uncomfort-
able reality of examining my imperfections along with my strengths. Before I could accept them, I had to acknowledge that those strengths and imperfections existed. As I write this, a part of me hesitates to write about my own silent struggle down on paper. My own journey to wholly accept myself is one that is on-going and shifts through the years, various friendships, and life experiences. At times I have fallen into depending on others to build my self-worth, and I still stumble. Smart Pretty and Awkward inspires me to notice the beauty that is already within as well as the beauty in the quiet struggle: we are not alone.

Hockey on the edge for tournament seed By Gary Hermann sports@kykernel.com
The UK ice hockey team is looking to return from a tough weekend against Ohio State and solidify a top-10 ranking as tournament play looms. The Cool Cats are currently 17-10-1 following a 72 loss on Friday and 12-3 loss on Saturday to the Buckeyes. Senior defenseman and captain Andrew Serres said the team “had a terrible
weekend” and “had too many mental breakdowns” at Ohio State. Since the start of the semester, the Cool Cats have stressed the importance of winning out. “We had a goal and we didn’t accomplish it,” Serres said. The team is working on communication and little things in practice as they try to finish the season strong, according to Serres. “We need to put in a lot of hard work and get mental-
ly focused,” Serres said. The Cats will have an extended period of time to prepare for the rest of the season since there was a scheduling conflict with Tennessee, and this weekend’s games have been canceled. Senior goalie Jim Borgaard said the team can benefit from this upcoming weekend off. “We have a lot of people beat up,” Borgaard said. “It was a rough weekend.” Borgaard officially returned from injury for the
Cool Cats against Ohio State. The Cool Cats are a potential 'bubble team' and their post-season fate won’t be decided until the final poll is released by the American Collegiate Hockey Association. In order to qualify, UK must be in the top 10 in the Southeast Region. Currently, UK is No. 11, although the latest polls only reflect games played through Dec. 20, 2010. “We’ll probably be around seven or eight,” Borgaard said. “We’ll definitely
still be in the top 10.” The Cool Cats have shown they can beat top competition with their sweep of Virginia Tech and win over the University of MarylandBaltimore County, both highly ranked teams. “We have a lot of potential, and we’ll do well in regionals,” Serres said. “We just need to get there.” Borgaard knows the team has the skills to have several more big wins this season. “We need to keep on the defensive zone,” Borgaard
said. “We’ve got a lot of firepower and can score a lot of goals.” The Cool Cats will play at home in the Lexington Ice Center for the remainder of their regular season. They host Missouri State Feb. 11 and 12 and conclude their regular season hosting the University of Akron Feb. 18 and 19. “We have our last four games. There’s no reason not to win and win big,” Borgaard said. “We need to win big.”

UK reluctant to rely on freshman By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
All the talk heading into the Ole Miss game was about the veterans needing to take over the game at the end; about finding the will to win on the road in conference play; about playing the way they need to play. None of those things happened in UK’s two-point loss against Ole Miss Wednesday. The combination of Brandon Knight, Doron Lamb and Terrence Jones scored every single UK point in the second half. “They must be the best players,” head coach John Calipari said. UK closed from 11 points down to a one-point lead, but couldn’t close out the game. “They battled and wanted it worse than we did,” Calipari said. “If we won this game, that’s a total steal. We had no business being in this game.” That might be the scariest part for UK, considering Ole Miss had only beaten Louisiana State in conference play — and lost to UK’s biggest Southeastern Conference rivals in Florida, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Georgia. UK didn’t take care of the ball, committing a seasonhigh 18 turnovers, something Knight attributed to not being tough with the ball, and perhaps a little due to the Ole Miss pressure. “It’s tough because that’s one of the things we do well,” Calipari said. While the freshmen scored all 34 second-half points, there were other plays Calipari pointed out that proved UK can’t rely exclusively on them. Jones, who scored 22 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, played largely in spurts. “I told him at one point ‘I’m taking you out if you’re not running the floor,’” Calipari said. “(Then), he’s head of the action, and now instead of catching and having five guys on him, it’s one-on-one.” Jones was involved in the eventual game-winning shot by Chris Warren. Jones
switched onto Warren after an Ole Miss ball screen at the top of the key. He kept some distance, and Warren, who is 5-foot-10, pulled up and got off the shot. “We told (Jones), do not try to block it,” Calipari said. “Kid’s going to ball fake it and try and get you to foul. If he’s going to hit a shot, make him hit it over you.” Knight also showed flashes of both good and bad. At one point, he went on a personal 10-2 run to get UK back into the game. He also rose for a dunk in the final minutes and got stuffed. “I should have tried to lay it up,” Knight said. “He was able to get a piece of it and go the other way. A big-time play, we were getting closer and closer, and they got an and-one and momentum switched.” That’s exactly why Calipari has put the onus on the upperclassmen to lead the
way in the closing minutes. Calipari pointed out that one veteran let a player shoot right over him on one play — “Why wouldn’t you make that play?” — and that they are trying, just not meeting expectations. Darius Miller and DeAndre Liggins both played a part in the last possession. Miller passed up an open three-pointer with about 18 seconds left. “Once he passed up on the open look it kind of made it tough on us,” Knight said. Then, Miller passed to Liggins, who had to hoist up a fadeaway three as the shot clock expired. And so the trend of upperclassmen failing to seize control of this team continues. “Whoever steps us, whoever wants it,” Knight said. “I think our older guys will learn to step up in those situations.” Follow Aaron on Twitter @KernelASmith.
