Miller tops his best
Joint effort opens new clinic By Jarrod Thacker news@kykernel.com
A ribbon cutting ceremony last Wednesday marked the grand opening of the Samaritan’s Touch UK Student Physical Therapy Clinic. The clinic was opened at the UK HealthCare Good Samaritan Physical Therapy Center since Jan. 11 and provides free physical therapy treatment for local patients from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. It is a joint effort of the students and faculty of the College of Health Sciences, Division of Health Therapy and UK HealthCare Good Samaritan.

After hitting a 3-pointer to give UK an 11-point lead and seal a win that would be classified as “huge” by his head coach, Darius Miller stuck his tongue out as he ran the floor. He knew the importance of that shot. “Honestly I can’t remember (that),” Miller said of the celebration. “I don’t remember what I did during the course of the game.” He, and everyone else, did know this: Miller scored a career-high 24 points in leading UK (20-8, 8-6 Southeastern Conference) to a 76-68 win over No. 13 Florida (22-6, 11-3 SEC). Suddenly, Miller is shedding his reputation as an inconsistent and irritating player. He’s averaging 18 points and 5.5 rebounds over the last four games. His personal record broke the one he set exactly a week before, with 22 points against South Carolina. “He played out of his mind again,” Josh Harrellson said. After the game, Harrellson wrapped up Miller and shook him before they went to shake Florida’s hands. He got a group hug from his teammates. The only place Miller wasn’t the immediate center of attention was the television interview — Miller had to wait for CBS to talk to John Calipari first about his 500th career win, including the vacated wins at the Universities of Massachusetts and Memphis. To get that 500th — although he said this one win was his focus because of its importance — Calipari challenged Miller before the game to elevate his play. He pointed at Miller’s subpar, nine-point performance against Florida the first time the teams met as something that needed change for the result to change, too. “I definitely was thinking about it throughout the week,” Miller said of being outplayed by Chandler Parsons the first meeting. Miller got the better of Parsons this
Lodge hinders parking Construction on coal lodge takes spaces By Cody Porter news@kykernel.com
Upcoming construction on the Wildcat Coal Lodge will take away several E-Lot parking spaces usually filled by UK staff and faculty. Last week, Codell Construction Management partially barricaded the parking lot located next to the Joe Craft Center. Throughout the duration of the Coal Lodge construction, 109 of the 157 parking spaces will not be available for use. At project’s end, only 16 of those spaces are expected to be available again. “We are landlocked here at the university, which makes any land without a building on it a precious commodity,” Bob Wiseman, vice president for facilities management, said. Wiseman also spoke about the university’s land use mas-

Junior Darius Miller shoots against Florida on Saturday. Miller beat his career best in scoring, set earlier this season, with 24 points in Saturday’s game. time, and UK kept Parsons off the boards. The leading rebounder for Florida, the 6-foot-9 forward had grabbed a few key offensive rebounds the first meeting, which Terrence Jones cited as their main focus. This time, he didn’t. “When Chandler has one offensive rebound, that’s a big day for us,” Calipari said. Florida entered the game ranked eighth in the nation in offensive rebounding percentage, grabbing 38.9 percent. Against UK, Florida got just 32.4 percent, and only got one secondchance point. Josh Harrellson led the way, with 12 rebounds — six of which came on the offensive end — and Terrence Jones added nine. “Josh had 12 rebounds, how about him,” Calipari said. “I mean, he just went after every ball.” That doubled for Miller, who showed a tenacity and willingness to
fling himself into battles on the boards. Overall, it was a step for Miller to string together good performances. “He’s just believing in himself, and just having that confidence that he can play with the best of them,” Brandon Knight said. “He showed that tonight.”

On Tuesday, student government presidents from across Kentucky will unite in Frankfort for the annual Rally for Higher Education. The rally is a one day event, put on by students, to advocate for the importance of postsecondary education. UK Student Government President Ryan Smith will be attending the rally for the second year in a row. “We’re going for a couple of different reasons,” Smith said. “Primarily to advocate for postsecondary education funding and to ensure that legislators in Frankfort know that college students are concerned.” Students will start the day with a lunch with Gov. Steve Beshear. Following lunch there will be a rally and then

Lynn English, director of the program, became involved when asked to collaborate at a long-standing, student-run medical clinic at the Salvation Army in 2001. The UK Student Physical Therapy Clinic provided services at this location one night a week until late 2010. While English expresses gratitude toward the Salvation Army for its assistance, she emphasizes the need for larger facilities. “We operated literally in half an office, or the corner of a conference room, with very little equipment and almost no privacy,” English said.
UK senior forward Josh Harrellson will be available to UK fans via a 30-minute live blog on UKathletics.com on Monday at noon ET. Join in to show him your support of his efforts with the Cats. Harrellson will be playing his final UK home game on Tuesday.

meetings with legislators. Although the rally is open to any student interested in attending, Kentucky student government presidents realize that it can be difficult for students to make the trip to Frankfort when classes are in session. “We understand that a lot of students aren’t able to go because of classes, so the student government presidents come together to represent for the student bodies,” Smith said. Student Government president at Murray State University and chairman of the Board of Student Body Presidents Kirby O’Donoghue has put much time and effort into the planning of this event. “As college students, we know the value of supporting higher education in the Commonwealth,” O’Donoghue said. While the term “rally” can have negative connotations, the Board of Student Body Presidents wants to stress that this experience will be a positive one. “We’re really coming to say thank you for your support,” O’Donoghue said. “Legislators expect and look forward to seeing students at the Capitol.”

“(Our need for expansion) was a matter of space, being able to see more clients and involve more students.” Volunteer Jennifer McKellar, a physical therapy doctorate student, said it is much easier to see “more patients, and to devote more time to them,” with the new workspace. Even under those conditions, the clinic was able to provide many services for its patients. English said most clients who they examine “have issues with muscular skeletal systems, repetitive use (damage), injuries and post surgeries.” The location move was initiated from comments made by a recent graduate and participant of the program, Mark Neal, in an exit course survey. Inspired by Neal’s comments, English took steps to secure the relocation and revamp the program during a sabbatical. “We’re seeing people that have $50 co-pays that cannot afford to come twice a week,” Neal, who is now an outpatient physical therapist, said. “Those are the kind of people who will filter into this program, and not just people that don’t have insurance; it’s a lot more people that are going to be affected.” Neal will continue to work with the program and assist in instructing students in the future. Currently, 19 students are organizing and running the clinic. Of these, four act as coordinators who hold supervisory responsibilities. Each night, there are three student physical therapists, one coordinator and a faculty See THERAPY on page 2
Facebook’s new relationships By Michael Jeffrey news@kykernel.com
While relationship recognition laws constantly change, Facebook has introduced new options allowing users to more accurately identify their relationships. On Feb. 17, Facebook launched two new options globally available for users’ relationship statuses: “in a civil union” and “in a domestic partnership.” OUTsource, UK’s LGBT
(lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) organization, and other students agree that this new support is increasing

Before the changes, the options for a user’s relationship status read: “divorced,” “separated,” “widowed,” “in an open relationship,” “it’s complicated,” “married,” “engaged,” “in a relationSee FACEBOOK on page 4

Effective calorie counting? Problem: You are trying to lose weight and want to know many calories you're burning while on cardio equipment. Which provides the most accurate calorie count: a stationary bike, a treadmill or an elliptical machine? Solution: Caloric expenditure is mostly (but not entirely) a function of distance covered and body weight. While the machines will never be 100 percent accurate, they can all give you a general idea of how many calories you burn, provided you input your correct weight. “The bicycle predictions are the easiest to make, because the variation in people's mechanical efficiency is relatively low, and it’s very easy to convert work (in watts) into calories, given
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 6 - It's funny how confidence can turn so quickly into selfdoubt. Accept your thoughts, learn from them and love yourself. Trust your intuition. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 6 - You're yearning for adventure but are afraid of dangers ahead. Don't let negative thoughts block your imagination. Follow your dreams anyway. Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 7 - Negative thoughts come into your head. Just thank them for their opinion, and move on with your day. There's plenty of work to do. Reframe with new language. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 6 - You're right to be suspicious and trust your intuition. Not everybody is who they say
what we do know about cycling efficiency,” said exercise physiologist Ross Tucker, co-author of the exercise science blog The Science of Sport, sportsscientists.com. On the treadmill, the efficiency of an individual’s stride is more variable, Tucker said. “Assuming you're within 5 percent of the ‘true value,’ if your reading says you burned 600 calories per hour (or 10 calories per minute, a fast walk or slow run), then your range is probably within about 570 calories to 630,” he said. Unlike the treadmill, there are no standardized equations for caloric count on elliptical machines, said Doug Durnford, a senior product manager with Precor, which manufactures fitness equipment. So the accuracy “depends on the amount

Make sure to get plenty of rest, and don't take yourself too seriously today. Tell those fears you'll get back to them later. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 6 - When you strive for perfection, you can be too harsh on yourself. Notice your successes, rather than lingering on failures (that gave you lessons to win). Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) - Today is a 6 - Your family will always have an opinion. Don't take it personally. They love you and want the best for you, even if it doesn't seem so. Look from a new angle. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is an 8 - It's difficult to believe your creative productivity over the last few days. Take time to acknowledge your accomplishments with a special celebration.
of due diligence performed by the manufacturer.” Precor has funded a study looking at whether its equation which measures calories using gas exchange measurements is valid. If you’re concerned about precision, then “ask the manufacturer to confirm the method used to calculate calories expended and whether that method has been validated by independent study,” said Durnford. The real question, however, is whether the numbers mean anything. Yes, you'll lose weight if you burn more calories than you take in. But someone who burned 600 calories in one hour needs to consider what happens in the remaining 23 hours of the day. MCT
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is a 5 - Don't worry. Just get busy. Economic distress is temporary, and you still have the juice. Besides, money can't buy health or love. Enjoy what you have. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is an 8 - Don't get intimidated by the ideas of others. Get support from someone with more experience to keep you on the right track. Postpone travel until later. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 6 - Work schedule is full. Bring your top game as you're going to need it. Leave aside all complaints and negative thoughts, and narrow your focus to win. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8 - You have many work and social responsibilities. Figure out how you can combine them both, to save time. Get plenty of rest when you can or you'll wear down.

COAL Continued from page 1 ter plan that will help the campus “develop and grow in a sustainable manner.” “That master plan calls for a greater concentration of buildings on north campus and a need for a parking garage in this area in the future, as surface parking is consumed by building growth,” Wiseman said. North campus, as mentioned by Wiseman, is an area that plays host to the Joe Craft Center, Memorial Coliseum, campus housing and soon the Wildcat Coal Lodge. In the coming year, parking for not only employees from the E-Lot but students in residence halls or attending events at the athletic complexes increases the need for another parking structure in the future, Wiseman said. In fall of 2009, the UK Board of Trustees approved the construction of the new $7 million, 20,000 square foot Wildcat Coal Lodge. The lodge, which will feature a tribute to the coal industry in its lobby, will be the new home to UK men’s basketball players upon its expected completion in March 2012. UK Parking and Transportation Services advise that any employees that typically park in the E-Lot find parking elsewhere on campus. A map of available employee and student parking can be found on the PTS website, http://www.uky.edu/Parking.

Board of Trustees shows disconnect from university community LETTER TO THE EDITOR This letter is in response to the Wednesday, Feb. 23, article titled “Trustees talk Prez search, renovations.” When the Board of Trustees decided to renovate the Student Center, it showed its utter disconnection from the rest of our community at the university. Buildings across campus are falling apart at the seams, and students are afraid to ride many of our elevators (such as in Pence Hall, Fine Arts and the physics half of the Chemistry/Physics building). This action clearly shows that the Board does not care about the students or the academics for which this university is founded; they only care about putting on a good public face so they can impress the rest of the world when they come to “See Blue.” Our school draws many great students from across the country for their various careers. The following observations are limited to my personal experiences, but I am sure they can be expanded to almost every college across campus. Our music department has students and professors of the highest caliber found anywhere in the nation. Its tuba/euphonium studio, headed by Dr. Skip Gray, is the oldest studio of its kind in the world, not just the United States; its vocal students regularly win national competitions and the UK Symphony Orchestra frequently travels across Europe and Asia, performing for various audiences across the globe.
Our architecture program is so prestigious, students can lay their portfolios in front of any graduate school’s admissions board and be granted almost immediate acceptance. Finally, the physics and astronomy department is the site of the nation’s foremost lab in low energy neutronbased accelerator research and many other exciting research groups. The academic nature of a university, as well as the plan to become a “Top 20 Research Institution,” would seem to indicate that we should be throwing money at programs like these and many others.
When the Board of Trustees decided to renovate the Student Center, it showed its utter disconnection from the rest of our community at the university. However, we are throwing millions of dollars, and a moderate increase of tuition (max increase is 6 percent, or $258) for each student, towards a building that serves no educational purpose. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Student Center, but it does not need to be renovated or expanded because it is already exceptionally nice and welcoming for students and visitors. The Board needs to spend the students’ and taxpayers’

money in a manner befitting a school, not an attraction in Lexington. My next point concerns Mitch Barnhart’s recent contract extension. How can President Lee Todd justify the extension when the faculty and staff have had a frozen salary for three years running, especially when prospects for faculty raises remain elusive? Todd said he wants to “recruit and retain top talent to this university” and he would have “like(d) to have done it a year ago.” Apparently, he doesn’t count nationally recognized and excellent professors and researchers as “top talent” for a research institution. My last point addresses a topic similar to my first opinion article. Why does the Board feel the need to conduct its search for the next president in total confidentiality? To me, this means that the students, faculty and staff will not know who our next president will be until the Board says, “Here (s)he is.” We will not even know which finalists it is considering if it does not want that to be revealed. This represents a monumental betrayal of the Board to the university and inexorably displays the depths to which it will descend to hide their actions from the rest of the world. I demand that the Board grow up and show some responsibility by doing what is best for the students for once, not just what is good for it. Tristan Root Physics junior

Cal’s milestone overshadowed by important in-game milestones UK head coach John Calipari reached a milestone with UK’s 76-68 victory over Florida on Saturday at Rupp Arena: Win No. 500 as a collegiate head coach, the culmination of working NICK 19 years on CRADDOCK the sideline Kernel (yes, that incolumnist cludes those 38 victories he had at Memphis during the 2007-08 season that were later vacated by the NCAA). But Calipari wasn’t bothered about the possibility of reaching the individual milestone because he was more focused on getting win No. 20 versus Florida. And win No. 20 didn’t disappoint with his team reaching a plethora of other milestones, the culmination of what has been almost an entire season’s body of work.
“This one (was) a huge game for us. This wasn’t like some little game; this was a huge game,” Calipari said. “Because you’re talking a great basketball team that’s well coached that’s coming into our building with an idea that they are winning this game, and I’ve got a fragile team at times on the road, and now you wonder, are they going to be fragile at home?” Don’t worry, Cal. Breathe easy. Your team played up to its usual home standards and then some, by solving problems that have been plaguing it all season. “A lot of people played better than they normally do, and a lot of people stepped up and played different than they normally do,” said UK senior Josh Harrellson, who added that he, junior Darius Miller and freshman Doron Lamb were players who didn’t play particularly well when the Cats lost to Florida in Gainesville three weeks ago. Harrellson grabbed 12 re-
bounds, while limiting Florida senior forward Chandler Parsons, the Gators’ leading rebounder, to only one offensive rebound the entire game. Lamb, usually the last player to shootaround, impressed Calipari by showing up early to Rupp to be the first player on the floor for shootaround. “I proved a lot of things today,” Lamb said. “If we play hard for a whole 40 minutes, we can beat anybody in the country right now.” Then of course there’s Miller, who eclipsed his career-high in points (24) that he previously set seven days ago (22). Unlike last Saturday when he was left open on his way to knocking down six treys, he more frequently drove to the lane and made tougher baskets versus the Gators. “I put the challenge to Darius and said, ‘You’re as good as anyone in this conference, please, this is your game to show it,’ and he
showed it,” Calipari said. So Harrellson is back to his earlier season rebounding form just in time for Jorts’ Senior Night on Tuesday, Miller is showing offensive versatility and exuding confidence, Lamb is finally putting forth the effort required of a Division I hoops player and freshman guard Brandon Knight — who finished with six assists and zero turnovers — is managing the game more and more like a point guard under Calipari’s tutelage is expected to do. With these things accomplished, that only leaves winning a close game on the road as the elusive achievement. “The good news is the NCAA Tournament is not played on the road,” Calipari said. “As a matter of fact, we’ll have so many people there that it will probably feel like we’re at home, so that’s a good thing for this team.” Nick is a journalism senior.

ELLIS
Together, Dawn and Ellis co-wrote “When You’re Around” on her album, “Let It Be Me.” Ellis wrote or co-wrote most of the songs on her album, which Dawn said is “something special for such a young girl.” “Every song has a unique sound to it, which is really cool,” Dawn said. “I see a really, really bright future for her, not just because of her talent but (because of) her personality.” “Let it Be Me,” was produced independently, not under a record label, which Ellis said is not typical. Not only does Ellis want to perform, but she also wants to successfully run her business, Hannah Ellis Music, manage herself and “maintain who I am while also being
able to positively impact other people.” She said when she graduates from UK, she will move to Nashville. But for now, she wants to get a degree and focus on the public relations path because she wants to be able to present herself. “I don’t want to be handled,” Ellis said. “I want to be able to handle myself.” Cigi Farmer, a freshman and one of Ellis’s best friends, said that Ellis does a good job balancing everything. “She has the drive and the work ethic,” Farmer said. “She’s never let her grades drop, and she still makes time for her friends.” On weekends, Ellis travels to perform shows around Kentucky. During the week, she practices guitar, prepares
for weekend shows and develops song ideas. “I think she has the total package,” Dawn said. “She’s a really nice person, she is fun to be around and she has a lot of energy. Those things combined make her stand out.” Ellis said she never gets nervous before shows because the stage is where she feels at home. She said that people sometimes doubt that she will make this her career. “People have a hard time taking it seriously,” Ellis said. “(They say,) ‘Oh, you’re just a little girl from Kentucky.’ But Taylor Swift was a little girl from Pennsylvania.” More information about Ellis and her album can be found at, http://www.hannahellismusic.com.
Continued from page 1 bellsville, Ky., Ellis grew up in a musical household and started performing in singing competitions at age 11. Ellis said she could not go a day without music and singing is like breathing to her. “Ever since I was little, it makes me feel that everything falls into place when I’m singing,” Ellis said. Jacy Dawn, a songwriter in Nashville, Tenn., co-writes with Ellis and said Ellis is a strong songwriter. “I think that with Hannah, she always has really good lines and ideas and melodies,” Dawn said. “Her ideas are very fresh and unique.”
FACEBOOK Continued from page 1 ship” and “single.” “I think that it’s a good way for people to express what they actually have, rather than what is available,” OUTsource member Katie White said. Facebook’s network of support contains LGBT organizations such as the Human Rights Campaign and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. These organizations were the driving force behind the changes that have been made. “Facebook’s changes are also used to continue to make people feel more comfortable and encourage them to be who they really are,” Bentley said. “When I changed my relationship status to ‘in a civil union,’ I got an overwhelmingly positive response.”
Overall, this is another big step for the same-sex relationship movement, but students agree that there has been no visible influence on society. “It is great Facebook allows us do that,” freshman Perry Gibson said. “However, it still does not change the perspective of society in real life.” Online networks are not perfectly shielded from reality. Michael Cole-Schwartz, spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, stressed that social networks can’t always protect people from becoming victims of online harassment. Since 1970, LGBT organizations like OUTsource have been fighting to gain marriage rights and acceptance from the majority of society. Today, 12 states recognize some level of spousal rights to same-sex couples.
