Theta Chi chapter starts at UK By Nicole Schladt news@kykernel.com
Freshmen Brandon Loschiavo chose not to pledge a fraternity after rushing in the fall— none of the existing fraternities on campus seemed to have exactly what he was looking for. But instead of settling for a non-Greek lifestyle, Loschiavo decided to start up a new chapter of Theta Chi at UK. “One of my best friends from high school is a freshman at What: Theta Chi guest grill Eastern KenWhen: Thursday, 7-10 p.m. tucky UniversiWhere: BD’s Mongolian Grill ty and is a Admission: Portion of proTheta Chi,” ceeds benefit Starlight ChilLoschiavo said. dren’s Foundaton His friend told him about all of his positive experiences with Theta Chi, which sparked an idea in Loschiavo: he could start his own chapter at UK. “I started looking into (Theta Chi) and what they’re all about,” Loschiavo said. “Community service is a big thing at Theta Chi.” Loschiavo then contacted Theta Chi national headquarters, and the idea took off from there. This is one example of the many different ways fraternities and sororities can be started on campus, Susan West, director of fraternity and sorority affairs at UK, said. “We have had men and women who have talked about starting a group and have looked for a national organization in the past (similar to what Loschiavo did),” West said. “Another way is for a national group to be approved to be invited by one of the governing councils to come and recruit on campus.” The Zeta Rho interest group of Theta Chi was recently approved by UK’s Interfraternity Council in February, and it will be initiated as soon as it reaches 45 members. “We have 27 members as of today,” Loschiavo said. “We’re hoping to get to about 32 or 33 by the end of the semester, and then we’re hoping to gain at least 15 to 20 guys through fall rush.” Although he’s learned a lot about starting a fraternity chapter, his favorite part of the entire process has been interacting with his new fraternity brothers. “I’ve made 26 new best friends,” Loschiavo said. “That’s really the coolest thing about it. It’s all pretty much worked out in a way that’s been very lucky.” Theta Chi will be “guest grilling” at BD’s Mongolian Grill Thursday from 7-10 p.m as an opportunity to introduce themselves to the rest of the Greek community and all supporters.

Call for t-shirt designs Students can submit ideas for Traditions T By Rachel Aretakis news@kykernel.com
Students have the opportunity to vote for a student-designed T-shirt now until May 6. As a part of the Traditions T contest, UK students can choose from five different t-shirt designs that will become an official shirt for the next school year. The contest was started in 2007 to bring the UK student body together, Meg Phillips, the program coordinator, said. All submissions are narrowed down to a top five, which are chosen by a committee, Phillips said. From there, the rest of the voting is up to the UK student body. Zac Adams, a pre-pharmacy and human nutrition junior, was the 2010-11 winner. “I’m an avid UK fan, and I followed UK since I was a little kid,” Adams said. He said he likes designing things, so when he heard about the contest, he really wanted to participate. “I kind of liked the fact that if I won, everyone would wear my design,” he said. The winner receives two student season men’s basketball tickets, a $500 cash prize and five shirts. The winner will be announced this fall. The shirts will then be available to purchase online, at the UK Bookstore or at home games.

Obama confronts federal spending By Lisa Mascaro MCT
WASHINGTON — As Capitol Hill negotiators fleshed out details of last week’s epic budget deal, Democrats and Republicans prepared for the next set of confrontations over federal spending, including the future of Medicare and Medicaid. President Barack Obama presented his long-term debt-reduction strategy Wednesday in a speech that included his insistence that the nation cannot afford to preserve Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. And by the end of the week, House Republicans plan to vote on their 2012 budget blueprint, which would slash domestic spending, reduce income tax rates, and start turning Medicare into a private program. The $38 billion agreement that kept the government from shutting down at midnight Friday preserves Head Start preschool funds and the Pell Grant program for college students, the White House said Sunday night, but will reduce housing assistance and other
programs in the Labor, Education and Health departments. According to the White House website, Obama saved his signature education program, Race to the Top, but earmarked transportation projects and crop-insurance rebate programs get the ax. The administration characterized cuts at the State Department and Foreign Operations as “significant.” Congressional sources cautioned, however, that final details were in flux as negotiators searched line-by-line to reach the $38 billion reduction. The package covers the remainder of the 2011 fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30. Now, the battle moves to 2012 and whether to raise the federal debt ceiling. The spending debate is expected to dominate Washington in the months ahead and spill into the presidential campaign, with competing outlooks on the appropriate role of the federal government. “It’s going to be a tough fight — how are See BUDGET on page 7

Sorority hosts 5K to honor attack survivor By Amelia Orwick news@kykernel.com
Kappa Kappa Gamma will hold its first “Running for Holly 5K” this Sunday in honor of alum Holly Dunn. She is the only known survivor of the “Railroad Serial Killer” attacks that took place during the 90s. It was Labor Day weekend of 1997, and Dunn was walking home from a party with her boyfriend, Chris Maier, around the site where Newtown Crossing is today. A man emerged and raped Dunn and brutally beat Maier in the head with a rock. Maier did not survive. Dunn managed to walk to a nearby house and call the police.

Kissing away cancer By Brandon Goodwin news@kykernel.com
The Delta Gamma sorority kissed its way to nearly $400 for charity on Wednesday. The event, called “Kissing for a cure,” allowed passersby to donate $1 and receive either a kiss on the cheek, or a Hershey’s chocolate kiss. By 5 p.m., the event, located on Columbia Ave., raised $399.98 for their Relay for Life
team. The team has 10 members, and the sorority’s goal was to raise more than $600. Delta Gamma sister Lizzie Rivers said many people decided to donate money without receiving a kiss. The sorority ran out of Hershey’s kisses early in the day, as they melted in the heat. The UK Relay for Life will be held at Johnson Center intramural fields on Friday, starting at 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Paul Simon releases new album More bad news for the recently deceased: According to Paul Simon, the afterlife is a bureaucratic bummer as bad as the DMV. The second song on his first solo album in five years, the deeply philosophical “So Beautiful or So What,” kicks off with one of the most memorably deadpan lines in Simon’s alreadypacked canon: “After I died and the make-up had dried, I went back to my place.” To crack open a celestial beer? Not so much. From there, “The Afterlife,” with its zydeco-inflected shuffle, paints a picture of the freshly dead filling out forms and waiting in line to catch “a glimpse of the divine.” Ah, but the vast unknown is a slippery beast. “All that remains,” Simon sings, “when you try to explain is a fragment of song.” Pushing 70, Simon has mortality on his mind: the grand zigzag of life, the decisions we make or that make us, the accident or destiny of love and the big questions that can’t be answered. After all is said and done, Simon seems to say on his 12th solo album, there’s only love and beauty, both of which

More than two years in the making, “So Beautiful or So What,” steeped in Afropop and American folk forms, climbs some of the most resplendent summits of Simon’s career and ranks as his most consistent solo effort since “Rhythm of the Saints” from 1990. In the rousing “Getting Ready for Christmas Day,” Simon uses portions of a sermon from the Rev. J.M. Gates, one of the most recorded preachers of the early 20th century, with his own lyrics about a kid in Iraq back for a third tour of duty. Residing in the Connecticut countryside with his singer-songwriter wife, Edie Brickell, Simon isn’t interested in the current mainstream.

Roundtable discussion with
Coach Calipari
by Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
On UK players young and old leaving for the NBA John Calipari talked about the current state of his players in terms of their decision regarding the NBA Draft in a roundtable discussion Wednesday. Calipari said it was a “no-brainer” for Brandon Knight, Terrence Jones and DeAndre Liggins to test the NBA Draft waters, and said Doron Lamb could be a lottery pick if he stayed another year. Calipari said Knight and Jones should put their names in, but not go to the NBA Combine where potential draft picks can work out in front of teams because it may
DeAndre Liggins Calipari said DeAndre Liggins should enter his name in the draft and go to the NBA combine, and could work his way into being drafted. “DeAndre, maybe you’re fighting like crazy to get your way in (to the draft),” Calipari said. “His (choice) will be a little different.” Calipari mentioned that Liggins, who isn't on “the board” that projects who gets picked, may not be able to improve enough aspects to move him up in the draft next year. Liggins could improve his ball handling, Calipari said, but his physical ability is already where it should be. “Here’s the reason I would tell him to do it: what he is, physically, and how he is, it’s not going to change or be projected in any other way,” Calipari said. “If you go and work out for these (NBA) guys, and you don’t show well, they never change their minds. I was in the league, so I understand. You come out early, and you don’t have it, they won’t even watch you next year.”
hurt their stock. “It will be more than a recommendation you don’t go,” Calipari said. With those two, who are both projected as lottery picks, the NBA lockout — which Calipari said was certain to happen — complicates things (see sidebar). Calipari said both were mindful of the potential impact of the lockout, which would go in effect July 1 — after the draft, but before the season (and salaries) would start. Calipari brought up a theoretical situation in which one could be projected as the 11th pick but fall to the 17th pick. “And at 17, you would have never gone,” Calipari said. On the other hand, be-
Doron Lamb Calipari said he did not expect Doron Lamb to enter the draft, but “it would be fine” if he did. He said Lamb would be a lottery pick next year if he came back and put on more weight. “Now he has to get stronger, get tougher,” Calipari said. “If he does that, he and I talked about gaining 15 pounds of muscle weight, he’ll be a lottery pick next year. His feel for the game is as good as any out there. He finally took on a defensive presence.” Calipari mentioned that this year Lamb was too easily knocked off the ball, but adding muscle mass would improve that area and make him a better NBA draft pick. Another factor that would go against Lamb if he tested the waters this year is that when a player declares for the draft a second time, he is locked into going pro.
cause multiple players projected as top picks — such as Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger and Baylor’s Perry Jones III — have decided to come back to college, that slides everyone a couple picks toward the top of the draft. “We’re going to try to do some stuff to get more information,” said Calipari, who has talked to 17 NBA teams about where they consider his players’ prospects. “I just told them, here’s a plan of how to do this. But I haven’t told them, ‘I think you should do this or that.’” As for the players who won’t be putting their names in the draft — namely Stacey Poole and Jon Hood — Calipari sounded confident they would be back. And Harrellson’s improvement, which led to more playing time and a much bigger role, could serve as the best example for those two. “He was a great lesson for me, the rest of my coaching career,” Calipari said. “Don’t complain to me about not playing. You want to play? Change. It’s easy.”
Darius Miller For Darius Miller, who isn’t projected as a draft pick and likely won’t test the draft waters, Calipari has other plans for him over the summer. “I told him, ‘I’d like you to take a karate class or a kickboxing class,’” Calipari said. “He laughed.” But Calipari is serious. “We’ve seen him be the best in our league,” Calipari said. “It all comes back to that aggressiveness, that toughness. Just wanting to say, I’m kicking this guy. He is not guarding me, and I’m letting him know.”
THE NCAA TOURNAMENT John Calipari could only flip to the National Championship game for a second. “It made me sick to my stomach,” Calipari said. That’s because UK had lost in the Final Four, a one-point defeat to eventual champion Connecticut. Calipari said the enormity of the game got to the players that day. “I told them, we’re going to treat this like a practice,” Calipari said. “And they walked out there and went, ‘holy s***. This isn’t practice.’” Calipari denied the size of Reliant Stadium, which is an NFL dome, had any effect on UK’s poor shooting in
the game. He said UK took more bad shots in that game than its four previous games, but that having a chance to win on a last-second shot was all he could ask for. Even though Calipari said he hasn’t had time to reflect on the year, he clearly remembered the sequence of events that led to defeat in the Final Four. “Blocked shot, bad three, blocked shot, baseline drive and layup, and the game changes,” Calipari said. “And we still had the last shot to win the game. “After the game, I said you gave us a chance to win. And that’s all I could ask for.”
Calipari repeatedly said he wants to play both of them, but that the onus is on them to change their habits and earn the minutes. “If you’re not going to change, then the only way to play is to go to another school that’s not so challenging,” Calipari said. With all of them, Calipari said they will have to be the ones making the choice and will need to be ready for different situations both ways. For example, when the NBA lockout happens, will players be ready to sit out months or maybe even the whole season? Will they be motivated enough to workout on their own, and pay agents interest back as they wait to play? And if they come back to school, are they ready to continue improving? Are they ready to be back in the classroom, keep going to study hall, and stay dedicated to their grades as well as their games? Calipari doesn’t want them back on their team if they aren’t fully committed to UK. “If you’re not willing to come back and work like you’ve never worked before, you probably should put your name in the draft,” Calipari said.
Josh Harrellson Calipari also said Josh Harrellson needed to start moving away from the celebrity circuit in the aftermath of the Final Four run and back to basketball. “He has to shift gears and go back to basketball,” Calipari said. “This is fun. It’s at Kentucky, everybody’s all over him for the first time in his life. Why are they all over you? Because you played good basketball.”
ASSISTANT COACHES STAYING PUT UK assistant coaches Orlando Antigua and John Robic should remain on UK’s bench next year. Antigua was recently linked to the vacant Miami job, and Robic has been a college head coach before. “Within the next year or two, we’ll have some rollover,” Calipari said. “But you’re at Kentucky. You don’t leave this for just any job.” Calipari said it would need to be a top “two or three” job in any conference to be considered a “great” job, and one worthy of taking. “They’re at the place that now you make sure whatever job you’re getting is a great opportunity,” Calipari said.
The impact of a lockout Players could face the odd situation of not knowing whether they will start their rookie season with an operating NBA team. A lockout is scheduled to go into effect July 1. Players must declare for the NBA Draft by April 24 and have until May 8 to withdraw if they do not hire an agent. “This lockout, really kind of screws everything up,” UK head coach John Calipari said Wednesday. “I think a lot of kids are pulling their names. What if the lockout goes the whole year? What kind of mistake did you make?” Although the lockout isn’t official yet, Calipari acted as if it was a foregone conclusion. “The lockout’s happening,” Calipari said. Reports surfaced Wednesday that the NBA had canceled its annual summer league, a sign that the NBA is headed toward a work stoppage. College underclassmen now have to contemplate more factors than normal.
Because rookies couldn’t work out with the team that drafted them, Calipari said it would be up to each individual player to stay motivated enough to work out. “But you’re paying for that,” Calipari said. “And you’re not making any money.” While first-round draft picks could get money from agents while the NBA isn’t playing, that money would have to be paid back — and with interest. “It’s not as easy right now,” Calipari said. “The whole thing is, are you ready to do this? Are you ready for this lockout?” Calipari said he thought the potential lockout was a reason why some top players, like Jared Sullinger and Perry Jones III, had decided to come back to college. That opens up more spots toward the top of the draft for those who do enter. “This lockout changes things,” Calipari said. “Anyone being picked from the middle of the first round and up, now you’re middle of the first round and down.”

A lifelong dream come true By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
After head basketball coach John Calipari made an appearance at Wednesday’s UK football practice, the Cats’ most recent studentathlete gone pro, Victoria Dunlap, showed up to discuss her recent selection in the first round of Monday’s WNBA draft. The former UK forward is now a member of the WNBA’s Washington Mystics. Dunlap was selected 11th overall by the Mystics, last season’s Eastern Conference regular season champions. She became the first UK women’s basketball player to be selected in the WNBA draft in more than a decade. “I’m very excited,” Dunlap said. “The opportunity finally came for me, and I’m just going to take it from here. “I was very surprised. I was just sitting there kind of anxious, not knowing where I was going to go, but they chose me and I was like, ‘Oh, thank you!’” Dunlap joins fellow former UK basketball star John Wall in Washington, D.C. Wall is currently a rookie for the NBA’s Washington Wizards, and Dunlap said he reached out and congratulated her upon her selection to Washington. “He just texted me and told me congratulations and that he was excited for me,” Dunlap said. Dunlap said the draft process was not stressful for her, but as the first round played out she became more and more anxious to be selected. Dunlap was asked to be a part of the draft at ESPN studios in Connecticut on draft day and was there live to be selected and watch ten other student athletes be selected ahead of her with looming uncertainty of where she would end up. “I didn’t know,” Dunlap said. “People say ‘for sure you’re going in the first round,’ but, to me, it really didn’t matter just as long as I had the opportunity to go somewhere. “At first it was OK as the draft started, but once you see people start going and going it got more and more nervous for me. I got really anxious, I kept looking at my mom and kept looking at (UK women’s head basketball) Coach (Matthew) Mitchell like ‘When is my name going to be called?’ It was fun though.” Upon being drafted, Dunlap’s celebrity rose overnight outside of the Bluegrass, and on Monday after the draft, Dunlap’s name was trending on Twitter. “Somebody told me that and I was like ‘I don’t even know what that means’ because I don’t do Twitter like that,” Dunlap said, “but I guess that’s a great honor for people to recognize me.” The biggest transition for Dunlap will be adjusting from being a student to being a fulltime professional basketball player. Dunlap said she is going to stay focused on classes for

Former UK forward Victoria Dunlap goes to the hoop against Vanderbilt in the SEC tournament. the remainder of the semester and then turn her full attention to her new career as a WNBA athlete. “It’s exciting,” Dunlap said. “Four years of school, and now I get to play basketball and do what I love.” Dunlap will leave behind a talented women’s team at UK, a team that will be coming off of back-to-back SEC championship game and NCAA tournament appearances. Being drafted to the WNBA will certainly do a lot to help to improve Mitchell’s program and put the Cats’ on the map for years to come. “Just to show people that I didn’t come out of high school being a McDonald’s AllAmerican or wasn’t the best player coming out of high school, but anyone can come into a program like this and help change it,” Dunlap said. “As long as they are working hard and able to sacrifice themselves for the program, it’s going to work out in the end. “I just want to make sure I am representing Kentucky well and play in the WNBA,” Dunlap said. Not a highly touted recruit coming out of high school, Dunlap worked to be where she is today as a professional basketball player, something she credits to hard work, great coaching and a great program at UK. “I’ve come a long way,” Dunlap said. “I didn’t think this opportunity would ever be able to happen for me, just because I didn’t really have that mindset to be able to get myself in the gym as much as I am now. Being SEC Player of the Year, I never thought that would be able to happen, but the coaches have definitely pushed me, and I’m thankful for them.”

TOMS to release secret new product Company’s latest creation will help stamp out disease By Booth Moore MCT
LOS ANGELES — TOMS Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie spends much of his time traveling on shoe drops in South America and Africa and giving speeches about his One for One business model (for every pair of shoes sold, a pair is donated to someone in need). At a recent interview in his Santa Monica, Calif., office, he was wearing a nubby Edun cardigan with pants he picked up at a market in Nepal and carrying his journal, purchased at the San Telmo market

Green crocheted shoes from the summer collection. Proceeds from Tom’s Shoesgo to end diseases that are spread by bare feet. in Buenos Aires. He was also wearing TOMS, of course, from the latest collection, inspired by the journals and images left by activist Dan Eldon, the young photographer who was killed in 1993 covering the war in Somalia. (The shoes have a fingerprint-print, which Mycoskie took
from Eldon’s passport.) It’s appropriate that Mycoskie looks a little like a guru, because thousands of people followed him Tuesday in spending a day without shoes to raise awareness for those who do not have a choice. AOL employees, including Arianna Huffing-
ton, went barefoot, and so did the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, Charlize Theron and Russian model Anna Vyalitsyna. It was quite a turnout, especially considering the brand isn’t yet 5 years old. Mycoskie recently commissioned studies to measure the effect of the million-plus pairs of shoes that TOMS has donated worldwide. Not that he’s anywhere close to completing his goal of stamping out foot diseases that can spread from the ground to bare feet. To that end, on June 7, he’s announcing a new product that will guide the next phase of growth for his business. But he’s keeping that product shrouded in mystery, literally hidden in a box, which he presented to an audience for the first time last month while giving the keynote speech at a South by Southwest con-
ference in Austin, Texas. You can try playing 20 questions with him: Will it sell at the same stores as TOMS shoes? Is it a product in the fashion space? But he won’t budge. He says his staff doesn’t even know what it is. He asked retailers to purchase the product sight unseen. “If they open the box and don’t think (the product) is a fit for them, they can send it back to us,” he said. “And I do believe it can be sold in 50 percent of our stores, and that it will open up new doors, and new places. Our first big retail account was actually a furniture store,” he pointed out. The plan for June 7 is to distribute 200 of the mystery boxes to influential people around the world, and to have them open the boxes simultaneously. Until then, we’ll just have to keep guessing.

BROOKE Our MCCLOUD mind, bodies and Guest spirits are columnist suffering, and yet, we are too penciled-in, overwhelmed and stressed out to even notice. Women are wearing stress around town more proudly than a beautifully crafted pair of jeans, and that is a shame. Simplifying our lives is proving to be one of the hardest things a woman can do in today’s world. Our pencils are nibbled to the core and our nails are left to ruins. We have forgotten to just be. Doing too much can lead to worrying too much and at some point you have to let go of the excess. Many of my gal pals are not only thriving and talking about stress, but they have fallen in love with stress. Stress is like a bad boyfriend; breakup and a lifestyle change is in order. The love affair we have with stress has become more complex than Scarlett O’Hara’s. Swapping stress stories is damaging to you and your friends. It is fine to vent, but we must stop enabling the anxiety by one-upping. Instead of feeding an unhealthy habit, gently encourage a friend to take time to relax and unwind. Shedding a negative attitude will be difficult, but you will detoxify your mind and body of damaging vibes. Indulge in euphoric vibes. Take time to enjoy the simplest things that don’t need you to R.S.V.P or make an appointment for you to enjoy them. The fear of being lazy is fueling this unhealthy obses-
sion, and it turns out guilt is not a reliable resource. Friends are constantly showing me their agendas that are overloaded with schedules, events, parties, homework assignments and daily errands. Why are our agendas so full? Our lives have a strict schedule and we are the only ones dictating it. We volunteer to take on the stress of the world. Edit excess from your agendas day-by-day. Make the time to enjoy a moment with your own mind. Lately, when someone asks me how I am, I weirdly reply with “Good, but stressed.” I am good and stressed? Yes. I honestly believe that the feeling of stress allows me to believe that I am succeeding. This isn’t just within me this is being reverberated through chit chat with females everywhere I go. The constant chatter about stress can lead to more stress, so together we must quit. Two-thirds of all office visits to primary-care physicians are related to stress. The nasty emotion can lead to unhealthy habits in trial of coaxing your anxiety. Stress is a weighty issue. If there is one thing that makes women cut out junk from their lives, it is the fear of gaining weight. Dr. Shawn Talbott, author of “The Cortisol Connection: Why Stress Makes You and Fat and Ruins Your Health—and What You Can Do About It” says that stress leads to a lack of motivation, excessive smoking, drink and indulging of comfort food. How do we beat stress? We outsmart it the same way we do any bad beau. Opt for healthier snacks like almonds whenever you get the urge to reach for chocolate or chips. Also, whenever you are tempted to reach for the remote, turn off the noise and enjoy a few moments in silence. Brooke McCloud is a journalism senior. Email opinions@kykernel.com

Minorities should be aware of health risks April is National Minority Health month, a good time to become aware of racial and ethnic health risks. Data from the Department of Health and Human Services show that racial and ethnic minorities are less likely to get the preventive care they need to stay healthy and more likely to suffer from serious illnesses. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Minority Health, as of 2005: African American: African American men were 1.3 times as likely to have new cases of lung and prostate cancer, compared to non-Hispanic white men. At the same time, African American women were 10 percent less likely to have been diagnosed with breast cancer. However, they were 34 percent more likely to die from breast cancer, compared to non-Hispanic white women. Hispanic: Mexican American adults were two times more likely than nonHispanic white adults to have been diagnosed with diabetes. Hispanic males have almost three times the
AIDS rate as non-Hispanic white males, and Hispanic females have almost 5 times the AIDS rate as non-Hispanic white females. Asian/Pacific Islander: Both Asian/Pacific Islander men and women have three times the incidence of liver and Inflamatory Bowel Disease as the non-Hispanic white population. Asian/Pacific Islander men are twice as likely to die from stomach cancer, compared to the non-Hispanic white population, and Asian/Pacific Islander women are 2.6 times as likely to die from the same disease. Students who take responsibility for their health during their college years will put themselves in a good position to avoid falling into statistical traps. University Health Service can help. Call 323-APPT (2778) to make an appointment for a diabetes glucose test, blood pressure screening, HIV test ($10), nutrition counseling, or tobacco cessation.

Prenatal health takes priority over veganism for actress Natalie Portman Natalie Portman seems to be the “it” girl lately. And who can blame her? — She’s been featured in numerous films in the last year alone (namely, “Black Swan,” “No SHANNON Strings AtFRAZER tached,” “Your Kernel Highness” columnist and “Thor”). She won for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the 2011 Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild Awards and Academy Awards for her “Black Swan” character, Nina Sayers. Not to mention, she’s pregnant with a child conceived with one of her “Black Swan” dancing costars. The latest bit of hubbub concerns her choice to “temporarily” give up her vegan lifestyle for vegetarianism while pregnant. This choice has met much (unnecessary and uneducated) criticism. First off, for those of you less familiar with the dietary classifications, vegetarianism omits meat products (which may or may not include fish). Vegans, on the other hand, exclude all animal products (including meat, milk, honey and eggs). Couple such restrictions with pregnancy cravings and you start to justify Portman’s relaxed dietary regimen. She even explained in a recent Vibe Magazine article that her choice to go veggie was to ensure she got enough

thursday 04.14.11 page 7 BUDGET Continued from page 1 we going to reduce the deficit, get on a more sustainable fiscal trajectory but in a way that doesn’t compromise” economic progress, White House adviser David Plouffe said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday. Republicans have criticized the president for failing to present a comprehensive debt-reduction plan when he outlined his proposed 2012 budget earlier this year. A detailed blueprint from the GOP’s chief budget guru, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, would drastically reorder the federal government. Aside
from lowering the top tax rates for corporations and individuals to 25 percent from the current 35 percent, it would fundamentally shrink the federal role in the delivery of health care to the poor, disabled and future generations of seniors. “We want to move from talking about saving billions of dollars to going on and saving trillions of dollars,” Ryan told “Meet the Press” on Sunday. Voters are focusing on the nation’s record deficits and debt, both of which grew during the economic downturn as tax revenues plummeted and Washington spent money to shore up the economy and help the jobless. Now at nearly $14.3 tril-
lion, the national debt will hit its legal limit in the weeks ahead, and Congress will be asked to grant the government additional borrowing authority. The vote has been routine, if politically unpopular, in past years. Under former President George W. Bush, Congress voted seven times to raise the debt limit. If Congress fails to act, the economic fallout would be severe, analysts and business leaders warn. They predict that interest rates would spike, dramatically affecting mortgages, consumer purchases and business lending. Republicans intend to try to extract new budget restraints from the White House in exchange for voting to
raise the debt limit. They may fight for statutory spending caps or a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution. “The president just can’t waltz in and say we’re going to have a debt crisis if you don’t raise the debt limit,” Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, the top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, told CBS’ “Face the Nation.” Congress is set to vote this week on the package of $38 billion in budget cuts. The series of stopgap spending measures included $12.5 billion in cuts, which count toward the total. Those came mainly from programs Obama had planned to terminate this year, as well as ear-
marked requests from lawmakers for home-state projects. Of the remaining reductions, nearly $18 billion is expected to come from onetime cuts or accounts with unspent money- a strategy Democrats employed to save domestic programs from deep reductions that would be difficult to undo in future years. Obama’s Wednesday speech will discuss what many budget experts see as the deficit drivers- Medicare, the popular health care program for seniors, and Medicaid, which assists millions of the poor and disabled. “You’re going to have to look at Medicare and Medicaid and see what kind of savings you can get,” Plouffe
told “Meet the Press.” Ryan’s 2012 budget proposed major changes to these longstanding federal programs. For Medicare, future seniors would receive a stipend to buy insurance on the private market. Analysts expect it would raise individual outof-pocket health costs while making federal costs more stable and predictable. For Medicaid, Republicans would shift control and cost of much of the program to the states, giving governors greater say-so in how the services are run and which residents are eligible. In addition to serving the poor and disabled, a large portion of Medicaid recipients are lowincome seniors.

In the backfield, the job belongs to Sanders By Ethan Levine sports@kykernel.com
For the past two seasons, it has been clear who was the workhorse in the backfield in UK’s offense — Derrick Locke. But with Locke gone and preparing for the NFL draft in the coming weeks, there is a new face in the backfield of UK head football coach Joker Phillips’ offense. His name is Raymond Sanders. Sanders will be a sophomore next season, and began spring practice as the starting tailback for the Cats. Last season, when Locke went down with an injury, it was fellow freshman Donald Russell who took many of the snaps in the backfield. But Russell then decided to transfer, leaving the job for Sanders to fill last year and take over in 2011. “I can’t say the job is all mine,” Sanders said. “I just have to keep working and keep pushing. I have guys behind me who are also wanting that job, so every day I come out here and I just want to get better and help my teammates get better.” In 2010, Sanders totaled 68 rushes for 254 yards and three touchdowns.
