Finishing the job: Barnhart’s contract extended By Martha Groppo mgroppo@kykernel.com
UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart’s contract has been extended three more years on top of his existing five-year contract. The new deal will keep Barnhart at UK through 2019. “I want to finish some stuff,” Barnhart said. “At the end of the day, I don’t think we’ve finished the job, and I want to finish the deal.” The extension will increase Barnhart’s salary from $475,00 to $600,000, an increase that President Lee Todd said was necessary “to remain competitive salary-wise” with other athletic directors in the nation. “It’s something people prize, and we have to pay for it,” Todd said.
AP Board changes curriculum Biology, US History to be revamped By Rachel Aretakis news@kykernel.com
The AP College Board is making major changes to its curriculum that will take effect in the 2012-13 school year. The curriculum changes, called “the New AP,” will greatly affect the biology track in particular, by cutting a lot of the information from the course. United States history will also be revamped. The board will also offer a curriculum framework for each course, which is something it has never done. History department professor David Hamilton said he participated in a review of the AP U.S. history curriculum, and said in an e-mail to the Kernel he thought it was outstanding. “The changes were intended to create a more coherent curriculum built around larger themes,” Hamilton said. He said he thinks the changes will improve high school classes, but does not think it will make a huge difference for high school students. The changes to the U.S. history course are not as dramatic as the changes to the AP biology course. According to the college board website, “the revised AP biology course and exam align with the knowledge and skills that many rigorous college-level introductory biology courses now seek to nurture.” The new curriculum will focus on lab work. Vincent Cassone, professor and chair of UK’s biology department, said that he is surprised the biology department takes the AP See AP on page 2
Todd introduced Barnhart to a room filled with coaches and media by saying that of the many people on his staff, Barnhart is the person he is “most proud of.” “I want him as long as he can stay here,” Todd said. “I can’t tell you how good I feel about it. I’m doing a heck of a favor for the next person to be president of this university.” Todd hired Barnhart nine years ago when the UK was undergoing a NCAA infraction investigation. He said he appreciates Barnhart in part because “he stayed in times it was difficult; he made difficult decisions.” Despite being received with initial criticism, Barnhart remained at UK. “We are running a clean, extremely competitive program,” Todd said. “People are finally starting to see the value of having a pro-
fessional athletic director. He selected individuals for our coaching staff that are par excellence. He’s gotten us into a competitive position in sports we were never competitive in before.” “We have made progress in a very difficult league,” Barnhart said, citing improved student- athlete GPAs, a cleaner athletic program, better facilities, wins, bowl games and attaining the position of one of 14 self-sufficient athletics departments in the nation within his time as athletic director. “Our coaches will tell you it is the most difficult league in the deal.” “This was a transition place,” Barnhart said, explaining that coaches used to work for UK en route to a more prestigious job. “It has See BARNHART on page 4
Jurassic Park may be getting closer to reality than students think. The world renowned paleontologist Jack Horner will be delivering a lecture on how scientists may be able to create dinosaurs now, out of one of peoples favorite foods, chicken. University of Kentucky geology professor and Honors Program Director Frank R. Ettensohn helped put this program together and knew of Horner’s previous involvement with UK. “He was here about 10, 12 years ago actually, for also a Darwin lecture,” Ettensohn said. “We had so many people we couldn’t get them all in. We sent about 200 people (away), the fire marshal wouldn’t let them in.” In light of the last time Horner visited UK, Ettensohn, the president of the Kentucky chapter of the American Institute of Professional Geologists, got a larger space to accommodate a larger crowd for this time to help teach as many people as possible about geology. “We now have the large concert hall, not the recital hall,” Ettensohn said. “It’s a public service type thing or an outreach type of thing, that our organization does to help inform people about geology and its importance in our lives.” According to a news release, Horner has had a love for dinosaurs for a long time and is the curator and a professor at the Museum of the Rockies at Montana State University at Bozeman. “We thought that Jack (Horner) would be very worthwhile having people listen to him,” Ettensohn said. Ettensohn said Horner would be talking about the contents of his book and work, creating modern dinosaurs from chicken embryos. “He’s going to actually be talking about his book,” Ettensohn said. “This is his book See DINOSAURS on page 2
Bat Cats reliant on pitching staff in 2011 Four key returning players bolster roster By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
The UK baseball team is knotting its cleats in preparation for the 2011 season, nine days before its season opener on the road at the College of Charleston. Taylor Black, Braden Kapteyn, Alex Meyer and Chad Wright Jr., are among the returning team members. Coming off a 31-25 season, including a 13-17 record in the Southeastern Conference, the Cats fell short of the NCAA tournament by the narrowest of margins for the third time in four years. They will look to build toward a postseason run in 2011 behind third-year head coach Gary Henderson.. “I feel like our goal for this season is to make the postseason. I feel like we have a good shot to really make some noise in the SEC this year,” senior shortstop Black said. “I feel like this year is going to be a good year because we have some good pitching and some big bats back in the lineup, and I feel like we can get to the postseason.” Along with Black, Kapteyn, Meyer and Wright all shared the same optimism about the upcoming season. The Cats’ are relying on their strong pitching staff entering the 2011 season, anchored by Meyer, a consensus top-10 pick in this summer’s Major League Baseball draft, and the potential No. 1 overall pick. UK boasts one of the strongest veteran starting rotations in the nation with Meyer, Jordan Cooper and Taylor Rodgers. “On Friday night, teams may see us throw right-left-right and you can’t really get comfortable with anything,” Meyer said.

We’re just a holein-the-wall with great food.

Bologna, owner
No bologna PHOTOS BY BRITNEY MCINTOSH | STAFF
The doors to Joe Bologna’s, an Italian eatery at 120 W. Maxwell St., display a picture of the restaurant’s iconic stained-glass windows, which are visual evidence of the building’s previous use as a church.
Eatery owner has ties to military, Sicily and basketball By Joy Priest features@kykernel.com
Only one church has a bar in the pulpit, and it’s a block away from campus. When Joe Bologna’s Restaurant first moved to its second location in what is now “Maxwell Alley,” on 120 W. Maxwell St., the building had been a synagogue and, before that, Maxwell Street Presbyterian Church. If you decide to dine-in one day, you can still see 41 stained-glass windows reminiscent of a church sanctuary. “The bar in the pulpit just naturally fell there,” owner Joe Bologna said. “The rabbi has been by to eat since then.” Bologna, 65, whose grandfathers were both from Sicily, says he decided to put his actual name on the restaurant to represent that he stood behind everything that he did and to let customers know their experience was “insured.” Joe Bologna’s Restaurant, in business since 1973, first opened as a college eatery on Maxwell and Limestone. “The average restaurant life is 10 years,” Bologna said. “I didn’t plan on being here for all this time. We’re just a hole-in-the-wall with great food.” During his job as a mess hall cook in the Air Force from 1965 to 1969, Bologna cooked for 3,000 people. During some of his last years in the service, he was hired to be a private chef for a general. He reconnected with that same general back in the states after his tour. Together they financed a restaurant. “I’ve worked in the food business for 49 years and will have been in business for myself 38 years on March 1,” Bologna said, referring to the restaurant’s upcoming anniversary.
“We started as a ‘Mom and Pop,’ and could barely afford to pay the five employees we had,” Bologna said. “Then some girls from UK came in one day and enjoyed it, said they’d tell friends and within one year in was ‘the college place to eat.’ It was nothing to have a line outside at 2 a.m. back then.” Leonard Howell, now a computer lab manager on campus, says he can remember patronizing Joe Bologna’s when it was first starting during his undergrad years in the early ‘70s. “I used to go up there with my friends,” Howell said. “You could get a deep dish pan pizza for less than $5 back then. When he first opened it, it was known to us college students as the best pizza place around. He had great spaghetti and meatballs, too.” Howell said Joe Bologna’s was the “first real Italian eatery in Lexington.” “Joe was a nice guy, very ‘New Yorktype’ of guy, but he really liked Lexington and enjoyed living here,” Howell said. “We used to call his place ‘Joe Bo-log-na’s’ until he corrected us one day and told us, no, it’s ‘Joe Buh-lo-neys.’” More recently, it has become a family restaurant. After serving 38 years worth of UK graduates, Bologna still has their business. “I’ve had a couple have their first date in a booth, get engaged in that same booth and come back and eat in that same booth every week,” Bologna said. “But we try to keep the attitude of whether you are a college student or the richest person in town, we give the same service to everybody.” Julia Taylor, a server at Joe Bologna’s said employee retention is high because staff members love the atmosphere and working there. “I’ve been here off and on for five or six years,” Taylor said. “My father was the first
Patrons sit at Joe Bologna’s bar, which occupies the same corner that used to house a pulpit. dinner cook here and my mother one of the first waitresses.” Bologna said some employees and three of his cooks have been with him for over 20 years.” Bologna is from Detroit but says he’s been here so long he feels more like a Kentuckian now. Once chef at the Wildcat Lodge during Tubby Smith’s last four years as head coach at UK, Bologna said he would have a dine-in for the team on Thursdays and cook meals like pot roast, fried chicken, catfish and ribs. These items aren’t on the menu at Joe Bologna’s, but dozens of traditional Italian
dishes are. Joe recommends sandwiches like the Reuben and the Capicola Ham and Swiss. “The hidden secret about Joe’s is the sandwiches, because Joe actually makes all the dressings here,” Taylor said. “I recommend the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo and the Vegetable Lasagna, which is a Joe B. original.” Joe Bologna’s is famous for its big breadsticks which customers can purchase for $1.25. “I think we do simple things well,” Bologna said sitting in a pew-like booth amidst the restaurant’s bustling congregation.
Self conscious: H&M goes green and gets wired 2011 marks new online shopping and eco-friendly clothing line SHELISA MELENDEZ Kernel columnist
Through all of the rain, sleet and snow this winter season, one popular retailer plans to make shopping easier and spring a little greener. If I only gave you 10 seconds to tell me your favorite store, would you be able to? Or better yet, if I asked you what their website domain is, would you know it? Chances are you would. Shopping online has become so easy and convenient, it’s almost become second nature. Sure, trying on
clothes in different stores and walking through the mall with your friends on a Saturday afternoon is fun, but saving the gas, time spent finding a parking space and sales tax is more my style. Something about the idea of shopping from the comfort of my couch in sweatpants and fuzzy socks is amazing. Unfortunately, every retailer has not jumped on the online shopping bandwagon. After realizing that there is not one single H&M store in the entire state of Kentucky, I decided to take it upon myself to simply shop from their website. However, I was sadly mistaken. I found it surprising that H&M doesn’t provide the ability to buy
their merchandise online. How dare they? Luckily, I wasn’t the only consumer interested in the fuzzy socks and online shopping equation. Last month, H&M announced its e-commerce launch in the U.S. I warn you, however, to refrain from complete excitement; we still
“Last month, H&M announced its e-commerce launch in the U.S.” have to wait until the end of 2011 before we start adding items to our shopping carts. H&M CEO Karl-Johan Persson explained in an article on stylelist.com why the online shopping experience
will be available in other countries before the U.S. "We are expanding our online and catalogue sales," Persson said in a statement tied to the company's annual earnings report. "At the start of 2011, we are launching the new H&M Shop Online in the markets where we offer online and catalogue sales already. Around year-end we plan to start online sales in USA, the world's largest online market." But creating an online presence isn’t the only thing H&M has up its sleeve this year. Following last year’s “2010 Garden Collection,” is the retailer’s latest ecofriendly line of merchandise, the “H&M Conscious Collection.” The new collection will feature men’s, women’s and children’s clothing made from “greener materials such as organic cotton and recy-
cled polyester.” According to the H&M website, the new eco-friendly line is about more than organic cotton: “It’s not just about organic cotton any more,” said Ann-Sofie Johansson, H&M Head of design. “The possibilities for creating a complete fashion statement with eco smarter materials are huge now. By designing recurring Conscious Collections we have the opportunity to show in a variety of ways what’s possible using more sustainable fabrics.”
The Conscious Collection is fresh and simplistic to say the least, with the color of inspiration being different shades of white; nothing more. “Shades of white are the season’s biggest fashion trend, and it feels right for this collection,” Johanasson said. “White creates a romantic feeling with lace and Broderie Anglaise, but is also the basic colour in a sporty, relaxed style and in a preppy tailored look for men.” Various shades of white blazers, skirts, pants and Tshirts are just a few of the items featuring in the Conscious Collection hitting stores on April 14. Prices range from $14.95 for a top to $59.95 for a maxi dress. H&M has set out for big things this year - sustainable style and online shopping.

Cats look to rebound at USC UK tries to bounce back from tough loss to UT on short rest By T.J. Walker sports@kykernel.com
UK Hoops is no stranger to quick turnarounds. But the No.15 Cats (185, 7-3 Southeastern Conference) have had mixed results in games coming off short rest. Out of UK’s five losses, two came three days or less after its previous game and one other was coming off a loss. UK will be coming off a loss and short rest Thursday. Just three days after taking No.4 Tennessee to the wire, the Cats hit the road to take on South Carolina (13-

10, 5-5 SEC) Thursday. The Cats gave Tennessee all it could handle Monday night but ultimately fell short, being out rebounded 45-23. But the Cats can take a lot out of its effort against the Lady Vols and put it to work at South Carolina. The Cats forced 24 turnovers against Tennessee, an SEC high for the Volunteers. If UK can play with the intensity it did in Memorial Coliseum on Monday, than it could find success in Colonial Life Arena. But UK head coach Matthew Mitchell says the history is in South Carolina’s favor.
“We are going to play a very difficult game, a very tough game with South Carolina,” Mitchell said. “They are a team we play twice every year and they are always tough in Columbia. “They whipped us really good down there last year, and it will be important for us to be committed to the game plan like we have been the last couple of games.” UK’s senior leader Victoria Dunlap will need to show up to give UK its best chance to win. In UK’s last three road games Dunlap has been the Cats anchor, averaging 18.3 points and nearly ten rebounds per game. The last time Dunlap faced the Gamecocks she shot 10-for-18 for 20 points and pulled down eight rebounds. But history is working
in UK’s favor, as the Cats are familiar with South Carolina. When the Gamecocks visited Lexington less than a month ago, UK trailed at halftime but used a 23-3 run to close out South Carolina. The Gamecocks only made one field goal the last 8:08 of the game. UK was on a losing streak heading into its first game with the Gamecocks but Mitchell said this game should be more of a challenge, even though UK was down by as many as seven in the second half in the first game. “South Carolina has certainly made some progress since the last time we played them, so it should be a tough challenge for us and we are going to have to play our very best to win,” Mitchell said.
athletic directorship school. “This is the destination in college athletics,” Barnhart said, speaking of his postcontract career plans. “If it’s not athletics, it will be something outside of that.” Barnhart’s extended contract is scheduled to expire when he is 60. Barnhart said some of his goals for his remaining time are improving facilities including Commonwealth Stadium and Rupp
Arena, raising athlete GPAs and enhancing the prestige of the athletic program. “A lot has happened, but our goals are still the same,” Barnhart said. “We want people be people of character who represent the state of Kentucky well.” Barnhart also emphasized his commitment to and appreciation for the individual coaches and athletes under his direction.
ing to be willing to do, I’m not going to resist anything.” Henderson’s discussed his roster from top to bottom and how he thought his team would fare against the competition on their schedule in 2011. A focus for Henderson in the offseason was defense and pitching. UK returns only one starting infielder from last year’s squad — Black. With new faces at nearly every oth-
er position around the diamond, Henderson made sure his new guys were all sound defensively after the team struggled at times in the field a year ago. “You have to play defense and you have to pitch out of the bullpen. Those are constants you have to have,” Henderson said. “... We are going to do everything that I can to play defense here.”
“I want there to be no doubt that when we leave that all these coaches sitting around this room have what they need to be successful.,” Barnhart said. “I owe that to them. I don’t want to leave them hanging. I don’t want to leave our students athletes hanging, and I don’t want to leave this university in a place where they don’t have what they need to be successful.”

Student reflects on the stigma of pregnancy at UK I used to see pregnant girls on campus and ponder to myself how they survived at UK. The juxtaposed image of a young woman expecting a baby in the college environment KELLIE sparked an DOLIGALE insatiable Kernel curiosity. If columnist you could have heard
my thoughts, you might think I was observing a wild animal from a distance. These days, I am one of those wild animals. I turned 21 in October of last year and delighted in my legality for three weeks before I discovered my pregnancy. I was knee-deep in my last year of college, and hardly a role model for healthy living. My entire life turned on its head after two pregnancy tests. I had a lifestyle built on massive caffeine intake and
cynicism to rival that of a surly politician. Since then, the changes in my everyday living have been tremendous, but one thing remains the same: I am a UK student. I don’t go out on Friday nights. Instead, I spend the evening musing over my latest doctor’s appointment or checking out car seats on the Internet. Some of the people I thought were good friends halted communication with me, as if I had gone from bubbly, outspoken Kellie to knocked-up harpy overnight.
The most noticeable change, however, is the staring. When I walk to class on any given weekday, I can feel the persistent glances at my belly and the same internal monologues I used to recite when a pregnant student crossed my path. How on Earth can such a creature survive outside the comfortable, safe environment of the standard expecting mother? Shouldn’t she be floating on a cloud in a candy-colored nursery eating 10,000 calories a day and singing to her-
self? On behalf of pregnant college students everywhere, I offer the sincere truth that “our kind” is not a puzzle to be figured out. Just because I waddle between Whitehall and Funkhouser doesn’t mean I didn’t watch the most recent basketball game. I may be eating for two, but I’ll still share my many snacks if you ask. I’m pregnant, not diseased. I wish I had never been the type to judge a young,
pregnant girl because now the shoe is on the other swollen foot. It’s easy to gossip about that which we don’t understand, but I advise you to accept people for their differences. I’m still a 21-year-old college student trying to get my hands on that diploma like everyone else. I know I may seem like a wild animal, but trust me when I say I don’t bite.

Cats held commitment meeting, then hit boxing bags to unite By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
UK head coach John Calipari has been trying to get his Cats committed to various aspects of the game. Defense. Rebounding. Effort. Leadership. But heading into UK’s game against Tennessee, Calipari made it hyperpersonal. In a meeting, every player had to say what they were committed to. Giving a voice to the ideas gave the idea of commitment a different aspect. Now it was out in the open. Josh Harrellson’s pledge was to get back to doing the little things that got him the accolades he had earned earlier in the year. He said a self-inflated ego was a possibility after his success. “For two weeks, he was BS-ing,” Calipari said. “He was. There’s one person you cannot fool – yourself. You’re not fooling yourself. You can fool everybody else.” And another team activity: boxing. Calipari said he brought out the “heavy bag” and was teaching the team how to jab. He accompanied these words with actual air jabs at the postgame podium. “We had to hit the bag and not each other,” Harrellson said. “We only got 10 players. We can’t knock one of them out.” Harrellson poked fun at the team recounting it. He said Calipari told Jon Hood to hit the bag harder, then adopted a girly voice to imitate Hood saying “I can’t.” Harrellson said Doron Lamb was hiding in his locker scared. Terrence Jones wasn’t having any of it. “I’ll take a punch from anybody,” Jones said. “No, I don’t know. Stacey (Poole) was hitting the bag real good.” Harrellson said the team went over to Calipari’s house and watched the Super Bowl together. The team activities are part of Calipari trying to create a closer team. “I put on the board, refuse to lose, man,” Calipari said. “It’s that time of the year. Refuse to lose. Figure out a way.” It was a familiar phrase last year – and one UK often lived up to – but it hasn’t manifested itself just yet. Calipari was quite literally lost PHOTO BY MIKE WEAVER | STAFF for words trying to describe UK’s play, resortSenior forward Josh Harrellson puts up the ball during the first half of UK’s game ing to head shakes and sound effects. “You owe it to each other to come and against Tennessee on Tuesday. Harrellson finished with 16 points and six rebounds. look at yourself and say, I’m going to try to be rolling even when Brandon Knight sat out the last 10 minutes my best,” Calipari said. Harrellson, Darius Miller and DeAndre Liggins have often of the first half and Terrence Jones got off to a bad start in the been urged to be the three consistent performers for UK. second half. “How about this?” Calipari said. “We made a run with Against Tennessee, they were. Liggins had 19 points, and although Miller missed some shots, Calipari complimented him Brandon sitting on the bench. We also made a run when I took on his aggressive rebounding. Their play allowed UK to keep Terrence (Jones) out early in the second half.”

AP Continued from page 1 credit as it is now, and said normally they do not take any at all. “(The old curriculum) is truly based on textbook memorization and the emphasis is on things that are no longer important in biology,” Cassone said. “In that sense, the new curriculum is much better.” He said the way AP biol-
DINOSAURS Continued from page 1 and that’s actually the title of his talk, ‘How to Build a Dinosaur: Extinction Doesn’t Have to Be Forever.’ What he’s going to propose and what he proposes in his book basically is that we can actually do kind of ‘reverse’ genetic engineering on chicken embryos and produce a dinosaur.” Ettensohn said that birds have come from dinosaurs, they are the closest thing humans currently have to dinosaurs, though missing several key dinosaur elements. “You know, birds are dinosaurs,” Ettensohn said. “They’re effectively dinosaurs, but some things have
ogy is organized is not very forward thinking because there is so much information for students to learn. The new AP biology curriculum has four main ideas, Cassone said. “It’s a much more conceptual biological curriculum,” Cassone said. He said the new curriculum has a greater emphasis on mathematics, which is something he likes because it is more “in tune with biological thought.” Cassone said he thinks
high school students taking the current AP curriculum are not prepared for college biology. “It’s a big problem because kids and their parents are led to believe that they are getting extra biological thought credit, and I don’t think that is what they’re getting,” Cassone said. He encourages students who took the class in high school to retake it when the get to college. Though Cassone believes the new curriculum will help
happened to them along the way and they’ve lost the long tail, lost the grasping kind of forelimbs and they’ve lost the teeth dinosaur’s had.” Ettensohn said Horner is trying to look through the genes in the chicken’s DNA and find certain ones to turn on those missing dinosaur features. “It turns out the genes for that kind of stuff is still present, but what we have to do it turn this off and turn them on,” Ettensohn said. “We have to be able to do, and what (Horner’s) working on with several other people is finding the regulator genes and turning them back on…in a chicken embryo and we could produce something like a dinosaur, they call it a ‘Chickenosaurus.’” According to the news re-
lease Horner said the lecture, which is graduate-level, is able to be understood by most 4th graders. Ettensohn noted that the work Horner and others are doing with this could have an impact on humans as well. “There are possible human applications as well,” E said. “Many humans have spinal deformities or they get injured in an automobile accident and the tail is actually a projection of the spine. So if they found some way to turn off and on spine growth, they might be able to use this to help people with these deformities and injuries.” The lecture is free to the public and will be held Thursday, Feb. 10 at 7:30 p.m. at the Singletary Center for the Arts in the Large Concert Hall.

Want to date ‘JWoww’? MELVILLE, N.Y. For all the partying they do, it's hard to believe the stars of MTV's "Jersey Shore" have time to compose a thought, let alone a book. The latest comes from Jenni Farley, whose "The Rules According to JWoww" (William Morrow, $19.99) went on sale Tuesday. Like her reality-TV roommates Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino and Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, Farley, who turns 26 this month, did get a literary assist from a writer (her wing woman was Sheryl Berk, who collaborated with Britney Spears on her autobiography). But the dating advice is all "JWoww," as Farley is best known. She credits much of her worldly knowledge to the years she's spent on Long Island. She moved here from upstate New York in 2006 "ready to take over the scene," she writes. Farley spoke to Newsday last week about some of the most salient of the 60 rules in the book. Q. What's a date killer? A. Airing your dirty laundry the first night. I'm 25. Let's say you're 30, and I'm on a date with you, and you tell me you still live with your parents and have no ambition to
Horoscope To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7 — All work and no play sounds boring. Remember to take time to follow your passions. Better yet, play at work and work at play, for some big game. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 9 — You're on top of the world, and others want what you have. Stop and think, when necessary. It's a great time to socialize and to rediscover your artistic expression. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6 — Don't take other people's criticism of your appearance personally. They may have a point. Go ahead and laugh at yourself (or with yourself). It's good for you. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6 — If your ideas appear clear in your head, but not
move out or you're in between jobs. Q. What's the best pickup line you've ever heard? A. "Would you like a drink?" or, "Hi, what's your name?" Q. Is it a good idea to get intimate on the first date? A. No, no, no ... You don't want to seem easy, especially if you think it could be a long-term relationship. Q. When is it OK? A. At least when you get to know them, whether it's five or 10 dates, and the hooking up is kissing or something. Q. Is it ever OK to walk out on a first date? A. Only if they're disrespectful. ...I'd put money down for the check, and I'd be, like, "Have a good night." I always drive myself on the first date. So you're never obligated to stay. Q. How much booze is too much on a date? A. I would never drink more than two, or I would just sip on a glass of wine. ... You really want to take in what they're saying because it is important. You don't want to wake up the next day and say, "Yuk, he said that, and I can't believe I laughed it off."
necessarily on paper, don't despair. Take a deep breath and try again. You can express them. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — The day has ups and downs. It might even get emotional at times. Don't lose your temper. Focusing on work makes everything easier and gets stuff done. Later it all makes sense. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5 — It may be difficult to focus on work today, as daydreams about your love life keep distracting. Do something routine, and indulge in some fantasizing. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7 — It's a very busy day. You're extremely sensitive to light and sound (which could be a good thing). Get grounded before making a big decision. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5 — You're having a difficult time concentrating at work. A great partnership may result if you don't over think it. Be willing to laugh at yourself.
MCT
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6 — Distractions get in the way of productivity. You could resist them or let them take you away to a place you've never been. What's the deadline? Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6 — Don't worry about money out loud. Focus your energy on creative projects that provide instant gratification. You'll have something to show for your time. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6 — Make improvements at home or at your base of operations earlier in the day. Later, things could get confusing. Think twice before you act today. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7 — The day begins with many possibilities for selfexpression and communication. You may hit some snags later in the day. It's nothing you can't manage. MCT
high school students when they get to college, he said he is concerned that high school teachers will not be prepared to actually teach the class. “It emphasizes some really big concepts that I don’t think some school districts are prepared to actually emphasize,” Cassone said. He said he is also worried that schools across the nation will not be even in the way the course is taught. UK is actually ahead of AP standards because the biology department launched a
new biology curriculum last fall, in which a new freshman lab was added to the curriculum, Cassone said. “The AP curriculum is more in line with what we at the University of Kentucky are doing in new biology curriculum,” Cassone said. Megan Williams, biology freshman, is currently taking the new A&S 100 biology course and she also took AP biology in high school. She said in high school she scored well on the practice exams, but the actual test
was much harder. Though she did not receive credit at UK for taking the class, she said she does not regret taking it. “But I don’t think it prepared me as much as I would have liked it to,” Williams said about the AP biology class. Based on what she knows about the new AP biology class, Williams said she thinks the new course would be a better class to take because it seems to include more active learning.
