Athletics Board of Directors dissolves itself Now answers to university’s Board of Trustees By Rachel Aretakis raretakis@kykernel.com
The UK Athletics Association Board of Directors met Wednesday to dissolve its future. In a unanimous vote, the directors passed the resolution.
“Circumstances, where they are today, are such where we are moving forward with this resolution to dissolve the board,” UK President Eli Capilouto said. The disbandment of the organization follows a recommendation of a Board of Trustees subcommittee last
year. In October, the subcommittee recommended the implementation of a new athletics committee, which will oversee contracts and facilities. The Athletics Committee will be under the UK Board of Trustees.
It will be composed of five trustees, up to three nonvoting community members and the faculty athletics representative as an ex officio non-voting member, according to a news release. According to the resolution, “in order to achieve efficiencies in management, fund raising and fiscal responsibility” the Board of Directors “believes it is in
the best interests of the Company to liquidate and dissolve the Company distributing its assets to the University of Kentucky.” Capilouto said athletics is “one of our cherished assets.” The plan of distribution said that assets of the Athletics Association Board, if any, will be returned, transferred or conveyed. Any remaining assets, such as en-
dowment funds, will be transferred to UK to support the athletic program or to the Commonwealth of Kentucky if UK does not qualify as an exempt organization under the IRS. The UK Athletic Association Inc. is a Kentucky nonprofit corporation that was incorporated on Nov. 23, 1945. As a part of the resolution, See ATHLETICS on page 2

Cats invite students and faculty to watch open practice By Sam Rothbauer news@kykernel.com
The UK basketball team hosted a special event Wednesday — a televised practice and scrimmage open to students and faculty at Memorial Coliseum. Open practices in NCAA Division I basketball are rare, and televised practices are almost nonexistent.
“It was only supposed to be an open practice,” head coach John Calipari said. “I want the students into it.” The practice mostly served as a way to keep students entertained during the Cats’ week off and the team focused for the next game. But it quickly turned into a televised event to showcase a behind-the-scenes look at the talented Cats.
UK and deaf fan settle lawsuit UK and a deaf fan have settled a lawsuit regarding closed-captioning at Commonwealth Stadium, The Associated Press reported Wednesday. Charles Mitchell of Lancaster, Ky., sued last spring and wanted UK to provide captions for game announcements, according to the AP. He sued under the Americans With Dis-
abilities Act. The settlement comes after UK added captioning when it installed new scoreboards and ribbon boards, UK Athletics spokesman DeWayne Peevy told the AP. The new boards cost about $6 million and broadcast in high definition.
STAFF REPORT
“It turned into ‘Why don’t we call (WKYT)?’ and then it was like, ‘Why don’t we call ESPN?’ and then it’s like, ‘I bet you this rates higher than games,’” Calipari said. “It’s crazy. It’s Kentucky. That’s the Kentucky effect.” Calipari opened the practice with interactions with the audience, which allowed for students to have their questions anSee PRACTICE on page 2
The Faculty Trustee Election has come to a close. John Wilson, a behavioral science professor, will replace former Faculty Trustee Joe Peek, according to an email sent to the Faculty Trustee Election listserv from Davy Jones, chair of the Senate Rules and Elections Committee. The results come less than a month after four professors were nominated. The other candidates left in the running were Terry Conners, department of forestry as-
sociate professor, and Sheldon Steiner, biology professor. Wilson recieved 53 percent of the total votes. Steiner was runner-up, with 30 percent of the votes, and Conners had 17 percent. Wilson Wilson will serve as Trustee immediately until the term is complete on June 30, 2013.

Workshop focuses on how to change policies Will discuss involvement in legislative process By Luke Fegenbush news@kykernel.com
Faculty trustee chosen, will serve term until June 2013
In just more than two months, the construction across from Memorial Coliseum will be finished, and the product will be a new plaza and bronze wildcat statue. According to an email sent from the UK Alumni Association, the statue will represent “dignity, strength, vigilance and pride.” The plaza will be a place for visitors to stop and take photographs, according to a UK news release from June. The association’s board of directors approved $300,000 for the project in June, according to the release. Students, alumni and other community members can leave their mark on the plaza by purchasing a brick paver. Proceeds will go to the Alumni Association Scholarship Endowment Fund. Student organizations can also purchase brick pavers. A sample paver shown in the Alumni Association’s email is 8 inches by 8 inches. According to the plaza’s website, the pricing is as follows: $150 for students and recent graduates who are members of the Alumni Assocation. $250 for alumni and friends who are members of the Alumni Association. $175 for students and recent graduates who are not members of the Alumni Assocation. $295 for alumni and friends who are not members of the Alumni Association. Recent graduates are described as those who have completed their first UK degrees in the past five years. Contact Leslie Hayes at 859-257-3705 or leslie.hayes@uky.edu for more details. More information can be found at www.wildcatalumniplaza.com. The website has an EarthCam showing the construction site and information for ordering pavers.
A Legislative Action Workshop aims to educate students on the legislative process and what they can do to change policies or support causes they care about. The workshop will be sponsored by CATalyst, Center for Community Outreach, Kentucky Association of Sexual Assault Programs and the Violence Intervention Prevention Center. “I had experienced a similar workshop before I came to UK and it was an invaluable experience that I wanted to share with students,” said Melanie Matson, the director of Violence Intervention and

the directors elected Capilouto to serve as its president, to wind up the affairs of the company and dissolve it. According to a news release, the University Athletics Committee’s responsibilities will include: providing counsel to the president concerning athletics department matters or activities; reviewing the athletics department’s annual budget and audit reports, major expenditures and acquisitions; and construction of facilities if the cost is expected to exceed $400,000.

This workshop is ideal for law students, but those responsible for the workshop said they hope that it will find a much wider audience. “Although we’re expecting a lot of political science and anthropology majors, we’re hoping for a broader audience to attend,” said Sara Antel, an international studies senior who worked at the Center for Community Outreach to organize the event. “Everyone has something they’re passionate about and we just want to give them the tools to persuade lawmakers.” The workshop will take place Monday from 4 to 6 p.m. in room 122 in the Student Center.
PRACTICE Continued from page 1 swered directly by the coach. He then commenced the practice, starting with various fundamental drills before a partnered 3-point shooting contest. Four randomly selected fans were able to choose a player to shoot
threes with. The winner went home with a basketball signed by Calipari. A short 20-minute scrimmage closed out the practice, followed by a distribution of last week’s Anthony Davis posters. The idea of having practices televised may seem like a nightmare to some coaches,
as they don’t want to reveal any secrets to opponents. But Calipari seemed easygoing about the possibility that people may be taking notes on his practice. “If someone gets something from our practice that helps them help another player, I’m good with it,” Calipari said. “(It) doesn’t bother me at all.”

CNN ends Larry King specials LOS ANGELES — CNN and Larry King are going their separate ways. Though King gave up his daily primetime talk show on CNN in December 2010, he still had a deal for several specials. The last of those — “A Larry King Special: Dinner With the Kings” — aired in December. In a statement Wednesday, CNN said it had “the greatest respect for Larry,” and wished him “the best of luck with his new endeavors.” King added that he has nothing but love for CNN. King’s staff of four will likely be let go from CNN but may be able to reapply for new jobs at the network. King, 78, was replaced by British media personality Piers Morgan. Though Morgan’s

Social engineering takes on many forms By Branden Miller opinions@kykernel.com
My wife and I are fans of the USA network show “Burn Notice,” but for different reasons. She thinks the main character, Michael Westen, is hot, loves Fiona Glenanne for being an empowered woman and roots for Sam Axe simply because he is played by Bruce Campbell. I like it because Michael Westen uses a natural need to assist his fellow man to his own advantage. This tradecraft of manipulating a person to accomplish something that they normally wouldn’t do is known as social engineering. Social engineering takes place all around you — at the bar, around campus, in your dorm and especially online. Some common forms of social engineering are phishing, African prince scams (a.k.a. 419 scams), fake antivirus, chain emails and pharming. Phishing is perhaps the most common form of social engineering.
Using this technique, hackers will send you an email, often posing as your financial institution, and have you click on a link to correct some problem. Once you click on the link one of two things happen. 1. You are sent to a site that looks similar to the real site. Say, www.chasebank.com instead of the legitimate site, www.chase.com. 2. The link has a hidden file that sends you to the legitimate site but downloads a virus or spyware to your computer. Another common form of social engineering is the African prince scam. This scam usually takes the form of an email and requests that you send $10,000 to an offshore account and in return, when the prince escapes, he will send you millions. Sounds dumb huh? This is on the FBI’s top 5 list of most successful hacks. Fake antivirus is a newer and higher-tech version of means of social engineering. The criminal will cause a window to open in your browser that reads “your computer
may be infected. Click here to scan your computer and eliminate the threat!” When you click, you actually request a virus.
Social engineering takes place all around you — at the bar, around campus, in your dorm and especially online.
Chain emails tend to play on human emotions. This form of social engineering wants you to help someone by acting on the email request and forwarding the email to others (sometimes unbeknownst to you). When you forward the email, it not only infects your computer but infects everyone in your contact
list. Pharming is similar to phishing except it uses legitimate websites to do the gathering. Your account information is harvested when you freely fill out registration forms of request site access. So what can you do to defend yourself, and your identity from these forms of attacks? 1. Educate yourself. 2.Keep security software current. 3. Protect all devices that access the internet. 4. Make passwords long and strong. 5. Do not use the same passwords for multiple sites/accounts. 6. Do not trust the person on the other end unless you know them. 7. Protect you online persona as if it were your wallet. Branden Miller is a senior security analyst for awareness and training at UK HeathCare. Email opinions@kykernel.com.

A tribute to Whitney Houston’s life Pop star will be missed by music community ALEXANDRIA SARDAM Kernel columnist
Whitney Houston, 48, died Saturday. Long before Houston’s voice went platinum, she was a proud junior choir member of her quaint New Jersey church. She and her mother later went on to perform at various nightclubs in New York City.
It wasn’t long until Clive Davis discovered her. Houston won awards from Emmys to American Music Awards, receiving a grand total of 415 career awards in her lifetime. She also dabbled in acting, with her first role in the movie “The Bodyguard,” modeling and producing. She was a true renaissance woman who helped pave the way for many African-American female artists. Houston’s strength didn’t resonate alone in her voice. It

talked about. On Sunday, Houston was scheduled to attend Davis’s pre-Grammy party. Her vivacious presence, anticipated by all attendees, was replaced with sorrow and kind words spoken for the mezzo-soprano. “By now you have all learned of the unspeakably tragic news of our beloved Whitney’s passing,” Davis said, in a quote from the Los Angeles Times. “I don’t have to mask my emotion in front of a room full of so many dear friends. I am personally devastated by the loss of someone who has meant so much to me for so many
years. “Whitney was so full of life. She was so looking forward to tonight even though she wasn’t scheduled to perform. Whitney was a beautiful person and a talent beyond compare. She graced this stage with her regal presence and gave so many memorable performances here over the years. Simply put, Whitney would have wanted the music to go on and her family asked that we carry on.” Houston’s talent was unmatched. Her spirit was greatly evident in every note sung. She was a true legend and will be missed immensely.
UK baseball poised for turnaround in 2012 By David Schuh dschuh@kykernel.com
UK Baseball Head Coach Gary Henderson took the podium Tuesday at media day with a renewed sense of confidence. Coming off a disappointing 25-30 (8-22 SEC) record last season, he cited a combination of experience, youth and depth as a key to a successful tournament run. “The pressure to make the NCAA Tournament is there every year,” Henderson said. “That’s just the nature of playing in the SEC. But we have young kids all over the field that are gaining confidence. With experience in the
infield and behind the plate, we’re very excited about what we can do this year.” As Henderson noted, the catcher position will be outstanding. Junior Luke Maile and Senior Michael Williams make up arguably the best catching tandem in the country. Combining for 16 home runs and 59 RBI last season, they’ll be the anchor of what could be an explosive offensive lineup. “We have a lot of talent and leadership here,” Williams said. “I’ve set my goals a lot higher this year, especially from a leadership standpoint. I really look forward to seeing where we can go.”
Henderson also laid out the pitching staff for the year. The weekend rotation will consist of juniors Taylor Rogers and Jerad Grundy, and sophomore Corey Littrell. Grundy, a junior college transfer, spent his freshman season pitching for the University of Miami (Fla.) in the ACC. A perennial powerhouse in college baseball, Grundy’s experience at UM will give him an immediate look at the top of the rotation. “Grundy has unique movement with his 2-seam fastball and slider,” Henderson said. “It’s that late movement that makes it very difficult for the hitter to pick up.

He’s a work in progress, but we’re definitely excited to have him.” The Cats will have their hands full competing in the best baseball conference in the country. Having produced
the last three College World Series Champions, it’s as good as it ever was. But with a strong core of returning players to go along with talented newcomers, the 2012 season could shape up to be a
very successful one. “We might be a sleeper this year,” Williams said. “We’re very good and I think we’re going to shock some people. I’m actually going to guarantee that.”
