Higher STI rates More cases reported so far this year than last By Jarrod Thacker news@kykernel.com
The UK HealthCare University Health Services is reporting high numbers of diagnosed sexually transmitted infections for 2011 so far. According to information compiled by UHS Health Education Coordinator Brandy Reeves and reviewed by Nurse Practitioner Joanne Brown, UHS has diagnosed 46 cases of chlamydia and nine cases of gonorrhea in 2011. This differs from the previous year which had 117 cases of chlamydia and 18 cases of gonorrhea for the entire year. “That’s half (of the results from 2010), and we’re only months into the year,” Reeves said. Reeves explained that these statistics also may not include additional patients who have been diagnosed since spring break, suggesting that the rates could be even higher. The UHS representatives said they tend to observe an increase in STIs after spring break because of students traditionally conducting more risky actions, See RATES on page 2
Trustees name athletics committee UK Board of Trustees Chairman Britt Brockman named the members of the athletics oversight committee Tuesday. The committee will “examine best practices in the governance and organization of intercollegiate athletics,” and will look “at institutions in the Southeastern Conference, the Atlantic Coast Conference and UK's benchmark institutions,” according to a news release. Terry Mobley is the chair of the committee and a board member. Mobley is a former university vice president of external relations and interim athletics director. The news release said other members of the committee are board members Keith Gannon, Bill Gatton, Frank Shoop and Billy Joe Miles. Also included on the committee are Scott Smith, dean of the College of Agriculture; Lionel Williamson, a professor in the College of Agriculture; Joseph L. Fink, the faculty athletics representative and a professor in the College of Pharmacy; and former Board chairs Mira Ball and Jim Hardymon. Brockman and President Lee Todd will both serve as ex-officio members of the committee, the release said.

The road to Texas starts here All season, every college basketball team has been ‘On the Road to the Final Four.’ Now, it’s UK’s turn. The team left Lexington Wednesday night, taking a bus from the Joe Craft Center to the airport, and then flying to Houston in preparation for the weekend’s Final Four game. UK will hold an open practice Friday beginning at 1 p.m. On his website Monday, UK head coach John Calipari asked that the players be given space. He said it wasn’t a dismissal of the fans, but simply wanted the players to be focused on their “business trip.” UK plays Connecticut Saturday at 8:49 p.m. Eastern time.
VCU, Butler make late runs as low seeds By Myron P. Medcalf MCT
They don’t pay their coaches millions of dollars. Their players didn’t come to campus with five-star rankings. And prior to their fabulous runs to the Final Four, you likely didn’t see Butler or Virginia Commonwealth on TV. VCU, a No. 11 seed, and Butler, a No. 8 seed, made history as the lowest combined seeds to advance to the Final Four with their out-of-this-world victories over Kansas and Florida, respectively, in the Elite Eight. But the two schools also crushed an archaic and often inappropriate label, one that I have used too often in recent years.

The term “midmajor” — used to describe programs outside of the six major conferences — has historically separated college basketball’s wealthy from its poor. Big schools enjoy a variety of luxuries: practice facilities, trips on private jets, multimillion-dollar budgets and TV exposure. Some “midmajors” ride coach buses on road trips, only play on national TV during their conference tournaments and pick up the scraps that their superiors scatter along the recruiting trail — if they’re lucky. The smaller, lesser-known programs get treated like outcasts on the national scene. But that should change with the success of VCU and Butler. Their accomplishments are noteworthy on their own. VCU is a survivor of the “First Four,” one of the eight schools sent to Dayton, Ohio, to play in a “first-round game,” meaning the Rams had to play three times in the tournament’s first week. Butler already made history a year ago by advancing all the way to the national championship game, falling two points short to Duke; now the Bulldogs are back in the Final Four, putting their NCAA tournament record at 9-1 over the past two seasons. As the Rams and Bulldogs face each other Saturday, one of these two teams will be playing for the title Monday night. Despite their achievements, both teams lack any NBA first-round picks, according to ESPN.com’s proSee FINAL FOUR on page 2

Final Four refs the best Officials advance through NCAA tournament similar to teams playing By David Fox MCT
Another bracket is playing out in the NCAA tournament, where the best of the best advance from one week to the next. Those left standing in this contest — as with Connecticut, Kentucky, Butler and VCU — are among the nation’s best, too. Officials “advance” through the tournament similar to the teams in the field. The officials who work Saturday’s national semifinals and Monday’s championship game earned higher marks than their peers through the course of the regular season and the NCAA tournament. The scores for officials aren’t kept on the scoreboard, though. Instead, a 62-year-old former basketball official watching games from the studios of Turner Broadcasting in Atlanta is the one making the calls. John W. Adams is in his third year as the NCAA national’s men’s basketball officiating coordinator, and in the interest of more transparency, Adams has been more visible and responsive through the tournament. For example, he publicly acknowledged an error near the end of a third-round tournament game between Marquette and Syracuse and went on camera to explain the officiating in the final seconds of Butler’s second-round upset of Pittsburgh. Unlike in the past, the NCAA on

Among the five teams VCU has beaten are a Big East contender (Georgetown), the No. 2 squad in the Big Ten (Purdue) and the top team in the Big 12 (Kansas). Butler upset top-seeded Pitt, a Big Ten squad led by a pair of all-conference first-teamers (Wisconsin) and the SEC’s regular-season champ (Florida). Neither school supports BCS-level college football and the big dollars that come with it. They are far from the most popular programs in their own states. VCU’s Shaka Smart reportedly makes $325,000 a year before incentives. Butler doesn’t report Brad Stevens’ salary because it’s a private school, but when Stevens agreed to an extension last year, he admitted that money was an issue for the Bulldogs’ brass.

The Rams withstood a second-half rally by one of the most prestigious programs in college basketball history Sunday. The Jayhawks had size, speed, versatility and NBA talent. They collapsed mentally, however, against VCU’s relentless pressure. Butler lost a lottery pick from last year’s Final Four squad. But they kept their poise.
Florida led by 11 with under 10 minutes to play Saturday. Butler stayed calm and outplayed the Gators the rest of the way. Butler’s repeat shows that a team from a below-theradar conference can compete with the nation’s top schools over time. VCU wasn’t even on the bubble, according to some of the top bracketologists. Now, the Rams might become the first school in history to win seven games in the NCAA tournament. Both teams clearly deserve new labels. “Midmajor” just doesn’t cut it.

Polar bears may become extinct The surface area of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean shrank this winter to one of its lowest levels in decades — more bad news for polar bears, which depend on the ice to survive. Since the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo., began tracking sea ice three decades ago, only in 2006 was there as little ice during a Northern Hemisphere winter — 5.65 million square miles. That’s nearly 8 percent less than the average of 6.12 million square miles recorded from 1979 to 2000. As of March 22, the ice had declined for five consecutive days, leading scientists to conclude it will only shrink further. However, scientists noted, sea ice responds rapidly to winds and temperature this time of year and could expand again. Steven Armstrup, senior scientist for the nonprofit Polar Bears International, noted that 2010 was one of the warmest years on record and that last autumn’s ocean circulation patterns led to late and weak ice forma-

tion throughout much of the Arctic. “This combination may (mean) early ice melt this year and large retreats of sea ice from polar basin coastlines,” Armstrup said. “Because polar bears depend on the surface of the sea ice to catch seals, those things are not favorable for polar bear survival. So, if you are a polar bear, this could be a tough year _ with increased starvation especially among the young and very old.” But Armstrup is far less concerned with what happens in 2011 or any individual year than he is with rising average temperatures in the Arctic. “If we are lucky, we will have a series of cold years with circulation patterns that conserve sea ice. Ultimately, however, the greenhouse gases signal will clearly emerge. After that, all of the years will be bad for polar bears ... and polar bears ultimately will disappear.”

is to practice abstinence. UHS also suggests limiting the number of sexual partners, engaging in sexual activity with only one person and using contraceptives. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, STIs like chlamydia often do not show any symptoms. The UHS informs students that the only way to be certain that an infection has occurred is to be tested by a health care provider. Students who have paid the health fee can be screened for chlamydia, gonorrhea and syphilis for free, and will receive treatment and information on how to reduce the risk for STIs if they test positive.

Popular chain comes to student center By Eva McEnrue features@kykernel.com Panda Express, UK’s newest eatery, will open its doors on April 20 to serve customers flavorful, authentic Chinese food and sushi made from scratch. The university had been discussing the addition of a new eatery as part of its five-year-plan when Panda Express approached UK about opening the franchise on campus. “UK put a lot of research looking into this market,” Associate Director of UK Dining Services Ray Schmidt said. “While we were looking to do something different, we also wanted to remain relevant with the students.” UK consulted the Dining Services Student Advisory Board and student surveys, and observed the company’s growth and response before approving the franchise. The California-based chain expanded to several college campuses as a new marketing outlet and has been received positively. The Panda Express at Penn State University serves an estimated 5,000 pieces of sushi daily, Schmidt said. This is the company’s first Kentucky location, and UK is only its 10th franchise partner. “This location is as important to us as it is to them,” Schmidt said. “They have provided lots of support for construction and promotion.” This is also the chain’s first location with an attached dining room and an attached sushi bar called, “Sushi Bar by Panda.” The sushi bar will feature a chef preparing a range of fresh sushi favorites for customers to choose from. Panda Express offers a variety of Chinese dishes prepared in batches in front of the customer to assure the line moves quickly. “As far as presentation and flavor are concerned, Panda Express got it right,” Schmidt said. UK also considered affordability and value when selecting the fran-
court because it will minimize student traffic. The eatery will employ a combination of full-time staff and students. Panda Express opens April 20 and will be open from 10:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. weekdays. The first 100 paying customers will receive a Panda Express tote bag and a gift certificate for their next
chise. Students can fill up on the $4.99 Panda Bowl, a choice of one entry with a side of steamed rice, fried rice, chow mein or mixed vegetables, or the best-seller, the Orange chicken, a lightly sweetened fried chicken dish. UK also selected the franchise to better satisfy the needs of the dinner crowd. “Adding more food options is always for the better,”communications junior Jon West said. “Eating the same lunch free. types of food on campus day after day get old.” UK intends to create a ‘restaurant row’ with the addition of Panda Express. “We want the Student Center to become a place where four friends with different tastes can come, order whatever food they want and eat together,” said Schmidt. Panda Express will be located in the basement of the Student Center where Café du Chat was located. “Students enjoyed Café du Chat,” Schmidt said, “but UK did not need another café with Subway and Intermezzo so close.” The location was an ideal choice for Panda Express because of an old elevator shaft connecting the kitchen to the building’s roof. “Construction caught a huge break,” Schmidt said. “We were able to build a hood system in the unutilized shaft for kitchen ventilation.” The location also works well in conjunction to the upstairs food
Gyllenhaal enters past to change future ‘Source Code’ transforms train commute into a mission By Colin Covert MCT

Jake Gyllenhaal stars in "Source Code."
“Source Code” is a bullet train of a thriller. A Chicago train commuter (Jake Gyllenhaal) awakens into a nightmare. Bleary and disoriented, he's addressed by the unknown woman sitting opposite him (Michelle Monaghan) as though they were old friends. Staggering to the restroom, he sees a face he doesn’t recognize in the mirror. Suddenly the train is blown sky high by a terrorist bomb. Then time rewinds and the countdown to destruction begins again. And again. It belongs to that wellworn sci-fi subgenre of timelooping, where a character enters the past to change the future. This time it's not a volunteer mission. U.S. Army Capt. Colter Stevens can't remember being drafted into the top-secret government program called “source

The movie triggers memories of those classic Hitchcock suspense stories starring Jimmy Stewart or Cary Grant as a bystander abruptly thrust into life-or-death intrigue. Setting the action on a train gives the story a claustropho-
bic sense of urgency and a nice thematic resonance: Is Stevens’ future also moving with unstoppable momentum on a fixed path? Gyllenhaal’s Stevens isn’t a regulation action hero but a fallible, desperate pawn of some emotional depth, at one point battering a man he suspects is the bomber in a case of racial profiling gone wrong. As his seatmate, Monaghan has the good looks, sparky intelligence and quick tongue that establish her as a girl one could swiftly fall in love with. Vera Farmiga delivers a three-dimensional performance as Stevens’ dour military overseer. It’s remarkable the way she earns our trust through a hundred little details betrayed to us by her tightened mouth and inwardly troubled eyes. The estimable Jeffrey Wright creates something new as the peevish head of the Source Code operation, a mad scientist in the bureaucratic mold. Every player gives it that little something extra (substance, energy, gravitas) to help the story linger in our minds a little longer.

Texas A&M rolls to first Final Four with big win Aggies down top-seeded Baylor, advance to Indy By Gary West MCT
DALLAS — The teams' fourth meeting, the Final Four, that pesky number four in the maroon uniform — it was too many fours, an avalanche of fours, that buried Baylor's chances Tuesday night. Texas A&M finally beat Baylor, beating the No. 1 seed in the regional final of the women's NCAA Tournament at American Airlines Center. With the 58-46 victory, Texas A&M advances to the Final Four in Indianapolis and will play Stanford on Sunday. Connecticut and Notre Dame complete the Final Four. A&M coach Gary Blair said before the game that the Aggies weren't just playing for an opportunity to go to the Final Four; they were playing to win the national championship. Both these teams, he said, were good enough to do just that. And A&M indeed looked very good, not just Tuesday but throughout the tournament, outscoring their four opponents 294-179. "We just beat what I think is the best team in the country," Blair told the Aggie faithful in the celebratory moments immediately following the game, the implication being that having beaten Baylor the Aggies just might win two more and the national title. "It's an honor to get to the Final Four," Blair said, but then pointed out that the honor will only endure if they win it. Tuesday's game was the fourth meeting this year for the Big 12 powers. Baylor won the first three, including the Big 12 tournament championship, 61-58. But the sheer improbability of sweeping four games from an excellent team caught up with the Lady Bears, who turned the ball over 20 times and shot only 31.3 percent (15 of 48) from the field. And then there was that pesky No. 4 in maroon. Sydney Carter of DeSoto High School led A&M and all scorers with 22 points. Most of all, though, she jump-started the Aggies' offense early and then made some key steals late to discourage a Baylor rally. Just 30 seconds into the game, Carter grabbed a re-

A minute later, she hit another jumper. A moment later, she drove the lane to lay in a basket and then added a foul shot. Her eighth point put A&M ahead 12-2 about five minutes into the game. "The difference in the game was the guard play," said Baylor coach Kim Mulkey, referring not just to Carter but also to Sydney Colson, who had 12 points, four assists and five steals. Mulkey also blamed the loss on poor shooting. Not only were the Lady Bears cold from the floor, but they also missed 10 foul shots (15 of 25). Brittney Griner, the 6foot-8 sophomore who scored 40 points Sunday against Wisconsin-Green Bay, finished with 20 points, but most of her shots rolled around and fell out rather than in the basket. She made 6 of 18 from the field and 8 of 15 from the foul line. Danielle Adams, A&M's
leading scorer this season, had only six points. But she made crucial defensive contributions, using her strength to keep Griner away from the basket for much of the game. Earlier in the day, both Adams and Griner were named to the AP All-American first team. Losing for only the third time this season, Baylor finished with 34 victories, the most in the school's history. Mulkey said it was a "great year" for Baylor, and she vowed the team will get better. Blair and Mulkey have a long history. Blair coached at Dallas South Oak Cliff (197380), before going as assistant coach to Louisiana Tech, where Mulkey was an AllAmerican guard. The Lady Techsters won two national titles while Mulkey played and Blair coached there. Tuesday's victory was the 31st for the Aggies this year, also a school record. And the Aggies will be making their first trip to the Final Four.

Plea to UK administrators: Offer buses to transport students to the big game I don’t know if you’ve heard or figured it out due to multiple pieces of furniture going up in flames but the UK Men’s Basketball Team has made it to the Final Four in Houston, Texas, at Reliant Stadium. This is it, ANNIE UK. For the HUGHES first time in 13 years, we are Contributing making an apcolumnist pearance in the Final Four with a chance at the title. Kentucky fans are some of the most dedicated in the nation, yet, as stated in a previous Kernel article, it would take $314 in gas for your average car, round trip, to make it. And that’s not even including every other thing that would need to be considered in this trip, like hotels, food, tickets and merchandise. It’s just unrealistic for college students, even committed ones, to come up with that
amount of cash. President Todd, Mitch Barnhart, Student Government and really anyone with the power in their hands, I ask you a favor: provide student fan buses. It will be expensive, short notice and stressful to arrange. But something will come out of your ability to do this. You will be giving the Big Blue Nation its first big opportunity in quite some time to showcase just how much we support our team. Men’s Basketball brings in an incredible profit to this university, but it also inspires a community in a way that is unknown anywhere else. If you do this, for the university, and for its students, you will show all of collegiate sports that not only is our team not to be rivaled with, but neither is our fan base. Big Blue Nation owns Rupp Arena every home game, and now it’s time to own Reliant Stadium. Annie Hughes is a political science junior. E-mail opinions@kykernel.com.

Knight clutch in NCAA Tourney UK freshman stepping up from the floor in late-game situations By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
He was that kid. Brandon Knight was the one in the driveway playing one-on-zero, the imaginary clock counting down in his head, the imaginary defender with a hand in his face. “I think every kid does that when they are growing up outside,” Knight said. Just five, four, three, two, one and shoot it.” If he missed, Knight kept shooting. One day, he might end up shooting them for real. That’s what every kid thinks. “Normally step-back jumpers where you are holding your follow-through … And then when you finally make it, you can just go inside and chill,” Knight said. Going inside and chilling hasn’t been the follow-up to game winners lately for Knight. He hit one in UK’s first game of the NCAA Tournament to beat Princeton by two points. He hit another against Ohio State in the Sweet Sixteen, after which Knight most certainly did not chill. “It looked harder than it felt,” Knight said, comparing watching the shot versus the actual shot. “When I watched it, it was a lot faster than I thought. It felt slow. I didn’t really see a hand [Aaron Craft’s, the defender on him]. I just saw the basket and shot it.” And though he faltered on a couple tries earlier in the season, missing potential game-winning shots at Arkansas and Florida, Knight remained undeterred. Part of that was past performance — he hit the game-winning three-pointer in the 2010 McDonald’s High School AllAmerican game, a pull-up over future North Carolina guard Kendall Marshall. But Knight isn’t necessarily the one whom UK clears out to let shoot. While Knight is looking to shoot and has his move planned, he’s aware of the other players on the court and is ready to pass to them if a higher-percentage shot is available. “You have the option to shoot it yourself, you have the roll guy, and then you always have a lot of spot-up guys, so there are always a lot of options,” Knight said. Even as he missed, head coach John Calipari had confidence in him because of the amount of work put in. Calipari said Knight was the one who would be icing his knees in the gym at 6 a.m. and be the last one out. DeAndre Liggins conceded his work ethic wasn’t on the same PHOTO BY LATARA APPLEBY | STAFF level as Knight’s. Harrellson, who went through the wellcovered training regiment after the Twitter incident, Freshman Brandon Knight and senior Josh Harrellson celebrate UK’s win over Ohio State in the Sweet Sixteen on Saturday. UK won 62-60. didn’t try to compare it. “He is always working harder than anyone else always in the gym late at night, getting extra shots,” Harrellson said. Now, Knight goes up against Kemba Walker, who has his own highlight reel of game-winning shots. “Some of those shots you make, some of the shots you don’t,” Knight said. “All I can do is thank God that I was able to make those in the big time games of the tournament.” Follow Aaron on Twitter @KernelASmith.
