On the cutting edge A new hybrid operating room — one of the country’s largest and the first of its kind in the region — will open in the next few weeks at Albert B. Chandler Hospital. It will reduce recovery time and the risk of postoperative complications. “(It’s) another milestone in providing world-class facilities ... right here in the Bluegrass,” Dr. Michael Karpf, UK executive vice president for health affairs, said in a news release.

team like A’dia and Bria (Goss) who we can usually count on to score, but you can’t count on that every game because people have different defensive strategies,” sophomore guard Kastine Evans said. “I think as a team we have come to the realization that you can’t just depend on those two people. You have to be ready to back each other up and that is how we are growing as a team.” Ten of the 13 Cats who have played this season have had at least one game where they have scored in double digits. “There is a lot of people on this team who play important roles and that is someSee HOOPS on page 2
UK Hoops’ winning formula is straightforward and unyielding. The deep and talented team, led by All-SEC junior guard A’dia Mathis, will use their “40 Minutes of Dread” full-court pressure, wear their opponent down, get some transition buckets, hit some 3-pointers and methodically vanquish their foe. The Georgia Bulldogs handled the fullcourt pressure in Athens last week, and the Cats forced a season-low 14 turnovers. UK head coach Matthew Mitchell has an app for that. Limit the pressure to the half-court and get the ball into UConn transfer Samarie Walker. Result: Cats 69, Bulldogs 64. Against the South Carolina Gamecocks in Columbia, the Cats coudn’t connect from behind the arc, hitting just two of their 13 attempts. Mitchell has an app for that. Turn the pressure up a notch and force 29 turnovers leading directly to 32 points. Result: Cats 66, Gamecocks 58. The Florida Gators held UK’s top three scorers to a collective 4-for-26 from the floor. Coach Mitchell had an app for that too Sunday. Result: Cats 57, Gators 52. Mitchell has hit the right buttons at the right times to lead the Cats to a perfect 7-0 SEC start. “I think we have a talented team and I think we are multi-dimensional, more so than any other year I’ve been here,” Mitchell said. “We have pieces at all spots, not just one go-to player on the wing but two now with the addition of Bria Goss. I think we have a good chance to be really good. I think that’s what has happened through the first seven games, we have a team full of kids that want to win and they’ve done what’s necessary to fight through any points of adversity through seven games.” PHOTO BY QUIANNA LIGE |STAFF The versatile Cats have had six different players lead the team in scoring for a game.

Dancing through dimensions By Kayla Pickrell kpickrell@kykernel.com
Students perform their first dance concert at UK, with the opening of the “3Dimensions: Winter Dance Concert” on Friday. Starting this semester, the UK department of theatre officially offers a dance minor for all students. To start it off they will show a performance based on the dances taught in the minor. “Many schools made the transfer years ago,” to theatre dance minors, and UK is finally following in step, said Susie Thiel, dance program coordinator and choreographer. The performance will be broken up into three entities, including a modern dance performance. “We are really changing things What: 3Dimensions: Winter around with the Dance Concert dance minor,” When: Friday and Saturday Thiel said. “My students are so at 7:30 p.m. hungry to work in Where: Guignol Theatre a collaboration.” Admission: $10 for students, Megan Jelli$15 for general admission. son, sophomore dancer in the winter dance concert, said the choreographers come in to rehearsal with a text or an idea and the students create their own dances to those themes. “We found a dance individually that showed what the music or idea or text meant to us,” Jellison said. Thiel uses the technique of “How-To” guides to create dances. Each student was asked to bring in his or her own “How-To” guides to implement in the dance. “It is a creative process that the audience doesn’t see,” Thiel said. “It’s a little bit different from what people are used to seeing.” Students had to learn Thiel’s own “How to Fold a Pleated Skirt: An Educational Guide” in the dances as well. “Through this novel creative process, I have gained insight on the direction in which the profesSee DANCE on page 2

Four faculty members have been nominated to run in the election for Board of Trustees faculty representative. The candidates are: Terry Conners, department of forestry associate professor; Donna Smith, department of family sciences associate professor; Sheldon Steiner, biology professor; and John Wilson, behavioral science professor. The election comes after the unexpected departure of former trustee Joe Peek, who left at the end of last semester to take a position at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. The first round of voting closes Feb. 1, when the four candidates will be narrowed to three. Dr. Hollie Swanson, Faculty Senate chairwoman, said the faculty trustee has to be chosen by the Feb. 21 Board of Trustees meeting. She said the majority rules, however it has varied from year to year. Most candidates are generally self-nominated, she said, and have to obtain 10 faculty signatures. Peek’s three-year term expires June 30, 2013, and the newly elected representative will serve until then. The trustee could run again, as there is no specific number of times someone can run for election, she said. “I’m just so pleased we have such a strong slate of candidates,” Swanson said. “Whoever is chosen will be an excellent choice.”
UK to wear ‘Platinum’ jerseys UK is one of nine schools that will get new Nike Hyper Elite Platinum jerseys, according to a news release. UK will debut the jerseys at home against Tennessee on Jan. 31. The other schools are: Arizona, Baylor (women’s), Duke, Florida, Syracuse, Connecticut (men’s and women’s) and North Carolina. “The fabric of the Nike Hyper Elite Platinum shorts are made from 100 percent recycled polyester while the jersey fabric is made from at least 96 percent recycled polyester,” a Nike release said. “Both short and jersey are tailored for the optimal efficiency of movement and are five percent lighter than the previous Nike Hyper Elite uniform. Featuring laser-cut bonded logos, a sharp platinum design as well as prominent accent colors, the Nike Hyper Elite Platinum uniforms are sure to shine on the court.” The release didn’t specifically say whether UK would only wear them for one game.

some really good athletes with some nice length and they play real tough defense. It will be a real challenge on the road but I like where our team is and how they are practicing right now,” Mitchell said. “We’re just excited to have another opportunity to play in this conference on Thursday night. We’ll go down to Auburn with the intention of winning and see what we can do.” The Tigers have struggled in the conference, but Mitchell believes they could pose a tough challenge.
“I think this is the toughest part of the season, the conference isn’t brand new. It’s hard to see the end and so as a coach it is really important right now that we stay focused and just try to stick with what is in front of us and that’s Auburn,” said Mitchell. “I try to be keenly aware at this time of year if we are having any lack of focus. It’s just a tough league, it’s 16 games with real difficult competition and real good coaching. It’s a challenge. You have to be real strong mentally to succeed in this
league.” Mitchell does not subscribe to the same theory as men’s head coach John Calipari in reference to taking a conference loss to help the team improve. “When you have won 43 conference titles, maybe I can talk about how we need a loss in the league,” Mitchell said. “But we’re trying to win our first, and that’ll be a huge moment in this program when it happens. I don’t know when it’s going to be, but we believe it’s going to happen.”
anteed that the performance will be unlike anything they have seen before, and something they will not want to forget.” Unlike theatre performances, there is no clear-cut way to interpret the concert. “There’s no right or
wrong answer,” Thiel said. “Even though (audiences) interpret the performance differently, they are still moved.” After the winter concert, the students, along with Thiel, will be attending the American College Dance Festival
and performing at the national level. “I foresee that this winter concert will become a cherished event for years to come and an excellent christening to the dance program at UK,” Gibbs said.

‘Chuck’ comes to an end PASADENA, Calif. — For five seasons on “Chuck,” Vik Sahay and Scott Krinsky played Lester and Jeff the most strung out and silly buddies since Bill and Ted went on an excellent adventure. That ride comes to an end Friday with the two-part series finale of the NBC comedy about a computer geek (Zachary Levi) who becomes a super spy. The show found a following because of its odd cast of characters. Sahay's character one of Chuck’s fellow computer geeks had only a couple of lines in the first episode of “Chuck” when it debuted in 2007. “They let me relentlessly improv in that episode and all of it was cut before it aired. But, there was something that stuck with the producers and then they saw some chemistry between me and Scott that they liked,” Sahay says. The weird pair have been dropped into shows to play everything from rockstars to cage fighters. They finally got brought into the inner circle of the spy world in last week's episode, turning the duo into a mix of Steve Jobs and Rambo. Sahay describes the show’s culmination as
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 — Love's the game and the prize. Be thankful for whatever you get, and there's no resisting you. Push for a raise. Relax and enjoy it. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — The trick is to remain cautious, even as others get impetuous. Someone needs to keep it all grounded in reality. Do it lovingly. Serve the invoice with dessert. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7 — A blissful moment sneaks up, and love gets revealed. Resist the temptation to forget all responsibility. Savor it, and keep moving. You're that big. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6 — Elders are in a good mood. Take advantage and make a request, the granting of
odd. “Other than the expected sadness, nostalgia and shock to the system, this past few weeks has almost an exorcism of letting Lester bleed out of me,” Sahay says. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had a non-Lester reality and now it’s merely Vik Sahay and I'm a little wobbly on my legs. I feel kind of raw and exposed.” “Chuck” survived five seasons despite low ratings because of a very loyal fan base. Sahay expects those fans will always see him as Lester, but he's ready to try something different preferably in movies. But, he would returns to TV if he finds a series as creative and fun as “Chuck.” The end of the show was very painful in one way for Sahay. “I broke my finger on one of the last episodes we were filming,” he says as he shows off the cast that covers his pinkie. “I broke it in the middle of a scene.” Along with the finger cast, he also took home his uniform and a sign from the Buy More electronics store where Lester, Jeff and the rest of the “Chuck” cast worked during the run of the show.
which could benefit everyone. Don't launch until ready. Rest up. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8 — The job's more fun than you expected. Find the perfect plan going forward. A lucky break leads the whole thing in a new direction. Celebrate with friends and something delicious. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7 — Get more than you asked for. Count the benefits ... they outweigh any negatives. Slow down and think it over before saying something you regret. Silence is golden. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7 — Find the perfect plan. Postpone a trip and avoid an expensive hassle. Take a quiet evening to kick back at home. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 9 — Edit your own romantic dream. You're lucky in love.

Passions run hot with intensity. Get it out there. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8 — Not everything goes according to plan, but that's the beauty.

Stalking a problem at college, awareness needed By Dr. TK Logan and Melanie O. Matson opinions@kykernel.com
January is National Stalking Awareness Month. There is a lot of misunderstanding about stalking; it is important to understand what stalking is and what it is not. We joke about stalking all the time. Stalking someone is normal for my friends. Jokes about stalking are common. Stalking type behaviors, especially for young people in high school or college, may seem normal. It may be fine to text or call someone 50 times a day. It may be fine to feel like someone is following you because you keep noticing them everywhere you go. It may be fine for your boyfriend or
someone who wants to date you to wait for you somewhere you didn’t think they would be. However, it is not okay when these kinds of things are unwanted, repeated and make you afraid or concerned for your safety or the safety of someone close to you. That is when it crosses the line to stalking. Stalking is a deliberate set of tactics used to scare, annoy, harass, sabotage or control their target. Even if your friends or others tell you not to be afraid or concerned, you should always trust your instincts and take precautions if this is happening to you. Stalking is just about somebody romantically trying to pursue his or her object of desire.
Pursuing someone for a date often entails repeated and potentially persistent contact attempts especially when the other person does not seem initially receptive. This behavior appears to overlap with some aspects of stalking. In fact, movies often portray the persistent male as the one who eventually wins over his love interest in the end. So, yes, sometimes individuals who are trying to establish or maintain a relationship engage in repeated texts, Facebook postings, phone calls and maybe even following someone around. However, it crosses the line when it becomes unwanted and when it causes fear or concern for safety in the person being targeted with this kind of attention.
Celebrities are more likely to experience stalking than someone I know personally. We have all heard about celebrity stalking such as the cases of Erin Andrews, Selena Gomez, Madonna and David Letterman. While stalking does happen to celebrities, politicians and others in the media, it also commonly happens to people not in the public eye. For example, a random household survey of regular people (non-celebrities) by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 1 in 6 women and 1 in 19 men had been stalked and were frightened by the stalking. In fact, college students are at high risk of being stalked. Stalking is creepy and annoying, but not dangerous. Stalking is creepy and annoying — but it can also be dangerous. Stalkers can become violent and should be taken seriously. In fact, stalking is a crime in all 50 states. The specific motives of stalkers are not all that clear. Some researchers speculate that stalkers are obsessed with the target, feel angry and want revenge, want to establish or maintain a relationship or are looking for any kind of attention from
the target, including fear. Typically, it is committed by people we know and should be able to trust — current or ex-partners, classmates, co-workers and other
Even if your friends or others tell you not to be afraid or concerned, you should always trust your instincts and take precautions if this is happening to you. acquaintances. Recent research by UK professor Dr. TK Logan and her colleagues shows that stalking by a controlling, jealous and violent boyfriend is especially dangerous. Specifically, some research shows that partner stalkers make more violent threats and are more likely to act on those threats than stalkers who do not target partners or ex-partners. However, being stalked by anyone whether they are a stranger, an acquaintance or a current or ex-partner can be dangerous.
Modern technology is too expensive and confusing for most stalkers to use. Using the computer to stalk and harass is common — often referred to as cyberstalking. Additionally, surveillance technology can be purchased for a relatively small amount of money and is often used in creative ways. If you ignore stalking or confront the stalker, it will stop. Ignoring or confronting the stalker often does not work and may even increase the danger. It is important to remember that each situation is different and you may want to work with a professional to develop a safety plan. For more information you can call the UK police at 859-257-1616, the Lexington Police at 911 or 859-2583600, UK Violence Intervention and Prevention Center at 859-257-3574 or the Bluegrass Domestic Violence Program at 800-544-2022. Dr. TK Logan is a professor in the Department of Behavioral Science, College of Medicine and the Center on Drug and Alcohol Research. Melanie O. Matson is director of the Violence Intervention and Prevention Center. This is the first in a series of three articles about stalking. Email opinions@kykernel.com

Secret behind the spice With a new semester comes more reading, more essays to write and more problems to solve. These academic responsibilities can make students both tired and hungry. The spicy beef wrap is one ally and can be found at Ovid’s Cafe, located in the William T. Young Library. Freshly made, the spicy beef wrap is crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside, filled with Philly meat cooked to perfection with fresh toasted pepper and onions (or not, for the picky ones), and a special juicy, mysterious sauce that overflows the tomato wrap as you bite into it. Two slices of pepper jack cheese lay on the tomato wrap along with two ounces of Ovid’s salsa mayo, according to Ovid’s spicy beef wrap ingredients chart. The sliced green peppers and onions are optional, and customers can choose a different type of cheese on their wrap. All these ingredients put together add up to a 1,010-calorie wrap (with onions, green peppers and pepper jack cheese), according to Ray Schmidt, associate director of Dining Services. The spicy mayo sauce alone holds 350 calories, but these numbers seem not to affect how many wraps students actually eat. A popular meal among students that has been on the menu for six years, the spicy beef wrap is ordered 150 to 200 times on a regular day, Schmidt said. During finals, when the cafe is open 24/7, Schmidt said numbers are even higher. Schmidt said students are able to savor the spicy beef wrap not only because of the tasty sauce and ingredients that fill it, but also because of how the item is made. “Students like to see their food made right in front of them,” Schmidt
said. “Our food is made fresh.” Seeing how and where the food is being prepared creates a sense of trust for the customer, Schmidt said. “Nobody likes the word ‘cafeteria,’ where your food was made in a secret room and came out of a small hole in the wall,” Schmidt said. “Students are more savvy, and watching their food being made, I think, is the big attraction.” Darrell Jones, an Ovid’s employee who prepares the wraps, said the beef wrap is the choice of many students. “Students wait in line for it, especially during lunch time,” Jones said. And there’s one ingredient that appears to catch students’ palate. “They seem to really like the salsa mayo,” Jones said. Joseph Payne, a freshman English major, said that even though he didn’t know what the sauce is, he does like it. Payne said that he was searching for something different when he ordered the spicy beef wrap. “I felt like eating something different,” Payne said. “It’s spicy, beefy — it’s nice to have the sauce in it, because not many other sandwiches have sauce on them.” Other than the flavorful, juicy sauce, Payne said the veggies add an extra kick to the wrap. “I get mine with peppers and onions,” he said. “It adds more flavor to it.” Payne also agreed that having it prepared right in front of his eyes is a big plus. “I like that I get to watch it being made,” Payne said. “It’s fresh and it’s always too hot for me to eat it at first so I have to let it cool down for a minute.” There’s another reason why Payne believes Ovid’s is a great place to have a meal in general. “It’s high quality food, you get your money’s worth.” Payne said.
Some students may prefer their spicy beef wrap without the green peppers and onions, like junior merchandising, apparel and textiles major Christina vo Vargas; but the wrap still doesn’t fail to succeed in flavor. “ I love the pepper jack cheese and the sauce,” Vargas said. Despite the high calorie count , Vargas said it won’t keep her from ordering the wrap. “One-thousand ten?” Vargas said. “I don’t care how many calories is in it because it is good.” The Philly beef and the toasted tomato wrap also caught Vargas’ attention. “The beef is well cooked and I like how the wrap is crispy on the outside,” Vargas added. Even though Willy T., as the Young Library is usually referred to by students, is a common study and hang out spot for most students, Vargas mentioned it is not a convenient location for her. “I never really go to the library, so it’s kind of out of my way.” Vargas said. For students like Vargas, who are usually on the other side of campus but enjoy the Ovid’s tasteful menu, there is the possibility of a North side location. Schmidt didn’t reveal specific information, but said students should be on the look out for something.
Pardon the Interlude: Neil Young ALEXANDRIA SARDAM Kernel columnist
Neil Young might be reuniting with Crazy Horse for another go at perfection. “Live Rust,” an album that featured both Young and the band was the soundtrack to family road trips. The distant echo of “Cortez the Killer” ran parallel with memories of passing hills and the fading white stripes of the road behind. Young, a born and raised Canuck, first ventured into the music scene as a solo artist. He then began exploring the folk and grunge scene simultaneously. Young was a co-founder of the band Buffalo Spring-
field, then later joined forces with Crosby, Stills and Nash as the fourth member. Young bounced in and out of solo work and performing with bands like Crazy Horse. They recorded countless performances including “Live at the Fillmore East” and “Rust Never Sleeps.” The music created with Crazy Horse captured the yin and yang of Young. His tenderness was still there in the heavy, distorted jams. “Broken Arrow” was the last album Crazy Horse and Young released. Aside from “Toast,” an LP that was set aside by Young, it’s been over 10 years since Young and Crazy Horse have created any new music together. That is until now. Over the weekend, the Slamdance Festival’s Morning Coffee Master Class featured Neil Young and
Jonathan Demme promoting their new film, “Journeys.” Thanks to Young’s fan site, thrasherswheat.org, it was revealed that Young and Crazy Horse are recording again, recently confirmed by Rolling Stone: “It’s looking good,” a representative for Young said. According to the website, one album is complete and they are working on another. “No new news as yet,” said Ralph Molina, Craz Horse drummer. “You'll probably know before we do! Heading back up to the Ranch, more recording.” When asked in 2008 by Rolling Stone if he’d be interested in touring again with Crazy Horse, Neil replied with a simple, one worded answer of, “maybe.” And maybe that “maybe” will turn into a yes. Perhaps those memories of
