On Sept. 6, the fashion scene will thrive late into the night during the fourth annual Fashion’s Night Out. CBS.com said FNO was a collaboration with the Council of Fashion Designers of America, Vogue and NYC & Company to entice consumers to shop after the recession. According to fashions nightout.com, last year, 18 countries participated and more than 4,500 events were held around the U.S. — that’s a lot of shopping. FNO has grown larger every year and 2012 will be no exception. Celebrities, models, designers and musicians are endorsing this event to help spread the word. On the FNO website, you can see the PSA that includes Usher, Darren Criss, Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss, just to name a few. Even the Empire State Building will be glowing red to commemorate the fourth anniversary. In New York, designers, editors, actors and many more high-status celebs will make appearances and enjoy the night of special deals and limited-edition products. New York Bloomingdale’s stores are offering special events such as a look at the Marc by Marc Jacobs fashion collection, chances to be on NYLON TV while at the preview of the Australian line, backstage and a meet-andgreet with Kelly Rutherford, Lily van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl. Every year, special apparel is made for FNO.

No more ramen noodles: A cookbook for students Guide targets college-aged who want more than basics By Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz MCT
When writing a cookbook for beginners, it’s best to assume complete ignorance. Mincing may be new to the reader’s vocabulary. Rice may require step-by-step instructions.
“The Ultimate Student Cookbook: From Chicken to Chili” (Firefly, $14.95), by Tiffany Goodall, offers an almost foolproof guide for college students who may have been eating cereal for every meal. Photographs accompany each step so that you can see what it means, exactly, to
quarter an onion. Thought bubbles remind you to wash the raw chicken off your hands. From a simple omelet to a more ambitious roast chicken to a homey (the author is British) shepherd’s pie, Goodall knows her audience. A section on “food on
the move” has a default serving size of one. A budget-friendly recommendation involves inviting friends to chip in for a big midweek meal. Several recipes are described as being choice for hangovers (Thai green curry) or before a night out of partying (sausage and mashed potatoes). A page is dedicated to making “vodka watermelon,” which entails scooping a hole out of the melon, pouring in vodka and inserting a bunch of straws. And, brilliantly, among Goodall’s smoothie recipes is one calling for dried instead of fresh fruit, which often meets a sad end in the refrigerators of the kitchen-averse — a group far larger than students. The dried apricot and raisin smoothie was the first in a series of recipes I tried from Goodall’s cookbook, to test its novice-friendliness.
Combined with a banana and skim milk, it was a frothy and somewhat chunky concoction, but tasty and worthwhile considering the shelf life of the key ingredients. Next I whipped up a chickpea, cucumber and red onion salad to take to work, dressed with just lemon and olive oil, which took about seven minutes to make and served as lunch for the next three days. Inviting a friend over for dinner, I presented as an hors d’oeuvre “the ultimate cheese on toast,” which is basically shredded cheese combined with milk, onions and Worcestershire sauce on bread, and baked under a broiler — which I don’t have, so I stuck it in the oven and it worked just fine. Feeling confident, I added serrano ham under the cheese, which was a good move. The main dish was a goat
cheese and rosemary risotto, a labor of constant stirring that turned out fragrant, delicious, perfect, probably my proudest culinary triumph ever thanks to the easy directions and, let’s be honest, a profound amount of butter. As Goodall might say in a thought bubble: “Amazing!” I only wish she had offered suggestions for accompaniments. I had less luck with the chicken and coconut curry, which turned out bland, thin and soupy. Was it because I didn’t buy the sunflower oil the recipe called for, opting instead to use the vegetable oil I already had in my pantry? Was it because I used light coconut milk? Perhaps, but then it would have been helpful for the recipe to say why such details are important. Again, assume complete ignorance.
Failure-to-warn fine reinstated for Virgina Tech By Richard Simon MCT
Jackson reportedly leaving ‘Idol’ LOS ANGELES — “American Idol’s” game of musical chairs may have taken another casualty as new reports claim Randy Jackson is vacating his post as judge — a spot he’s held since the singing competition premiered in 2002. Jackson is reportedly stepping away from the judges’ table but would continue to play a role in the show as a mentor to the contestants. “Idol” currently relies on guest musicians to dole out advice alongside Jimmy Iovine, the inhouse “Idol” mentor and chairman of Interscope/ Geffen/ A&M (contestants broker deals through Universal Music Group, with Interscope proving popular among them). Speculation over who will occupy the judges’ table when the competition kicks off its 12th season in January went into overdrive the moment Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith lead singer Steven Tyler announced their departures after two seasons. Pop diva Mariah Carey became the highest paid judge in reality TV when she inked a deal, reportedly worth $18 million, to replace Lopez. Carey remains the only confirmed judge.

Gossip sites such as TMZ say rap-pop chameleon Nicki Minaj’s deal to join “Idol” is “99 percent done,” but the addition of Minaj would prove a logistical challenge for producers. Plenty have focused on her Pepsi deal and how it conflicts with “Idol’s” rather prominent relationship with Coke, but the often pink-haired performer still has a headlining world tour on her plate. She just wrapped the U.S. leg and her “Pink Friday Reloaded” tour is set to go from October to December in Europe and Australia (though there are some breaks in the itinerary). Fox has been mum on further details on the “Idol” judge question, which makes sense given how much press has been given to a show that’s premiering after anticipated revamps from competitors “The X Factor” and “The Voice.” A slew of high-profile names have also been linked to the show in recent weeks. Depending on the time of day, the next season’s panel could include Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus, Nick Jonas, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Kanye West. MCT

WASHINGTON — U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan has reinstated a $27,500 fine against Virginia Tech, finding that the university failed to provide a timely warning to the campus community in the 2007 shooting rampage that left 33 people dead. Duncan reversed a ruling by the department’s chief administrative judge, who earlier this year overturned the fine after concluding that the university did not violate a federal law requiring timely warnings of safety threats. A federal court appeal is a “strong possibility,” a university spokesman said. School officials said they had believed the approximately 7:15 a.m. shooting of two students at a dorm was a domestic incident. An email went out at 9:26 a.m. alerting the campus community of the shooting and urging people to use caution and contact police if they saw anything suspicious. Duncan said that even if campus police had believed the shooting were domestic, the
university took a series of actions that demonstrated “concerns that the crime might represent a continuing threat to the campus,” including locking down its Center for Professional and Continuing Education at 8 a.m., canceling bank deposits at 8:25 a.m. and locking down its Veterinary College shortly after 9 a.m. “Although the police department hypothesized that the crime was ‘domestic in nature,’ the record is clear that the respondent had not located the suspect, had not found the weapon, and was confronted with the distinct possibility that the gunman was armed and still at large,” Duncan wrote in his decision. “Faced with this possibility, the respondent should have resolved any doubts it had regarding the timing of the warning by issuing the warning before 9:26 a.m.” Between 9:40 and 9:51 a.m., student Seung-hui Cho killed 30 people and himself inside a classroom building. A second e-mail went out at 9:50 a.m. warning people to stay put because a gunman was “loose on campus.”

Gift registries get popular among new students By Shan Li MCT
LOS ANGELES — As students head back to school and recent graduates start their first jobs, many are using gift registries — long an important feature of weddings and baby showers — to help them nab items they want to set up their dorm rooms and furnish new apartments. The Container Store, Bed Bath & Beyond and online retailers with names such as DormSmart.com and DormCo.com are encouraging college students to register and clue in relatives who need help with gift ideas. “I registered at the Container Store for a bunch of different things for my dorm,” said 18-year-old Andrea Castruita of San Diego, who is starting college in Boston next month. “Then I told my friends and family where I was registered, and if they wanted to get anything they could look at the list.” The sluggish economy is pushing cash-strapped students and parents to ask Grandma and Grandpa to chip in and buy sheets, backpacks and laptops. Even schools are using the services to get supplies for students. “For college, you see folks registering for bedding, for storage pieces, towels or robes, and items for the desk,” said Jessica Joyce, a spokeswoman at Bed, Bath & Beyond Inc., based in Union, N.J. “In case anybody wants to give a gift to a graduate for a going-away party, they can go on our site, type in the first and last name, and find ideas.” The process works much like weddings or baby showers: Students or parents can go online to select desired items, or go into a store and walk through aisles with a scanner to physically choose what they want. Some retailers will even print out cards

Corey Houck shops with his mom, Laura, at Bed Bath & Beyond. with links to the registry that can be tucked into invitations to a graduation bash. DormSmart.com, an online dorm supply store, has seen the number of students registering jump 300 percent in the past three years, said Chief Executive Christi Leslie. Leslie said that the sour economy has pushed more college-bound teens to register for items they might have bought, in better times, with their parents or using their own money. Among the bestsellers are tool kits and laundry baskets. “Especially in a tough economy, there seems to be more family participation in buying dorm supplies recently,” Leslie said. “I see frequently that Grandma is ordering, aunts and uncles are ordering and sending to nieces and nephews.” Tamara Moores, 25, said asking for gifts never crossed her mind in the last months of medical school in Loma Linda, Calif. But then her mom mentioned that their far-flung family members, many of whom planned to see her graduate in May, were eagerly asking for gift ideas. “There was a big confusion about what I needed,” she said. “I was on the telephone a lot with relatives who wanted to get ideas.” So Moores searched on
the Internet for an efficient way to clue in her family. Instead of jewelry — her mother’s suggestion — she registered for about 15 practical items to outfit her new apartment, including a blender, knives, a milk steamer and other kitchenware. “It’s stuff that is really, really useful that I wouldn’t buy for myself,” said Moores, who just started her training as an emergency room doctor in Salt Lake City. “And it was great for the family members who wanted to give more than money. They knew I would like it.” That’s also a plus for retailers who want to avoid the return of unwanted gifts. “When people get gifts they don’t want, they get returned, and there is nothing worse for a store,” said Nancy Lee, president of online gift service MyRegistry.com. “When you have a gift registry, people can get exactly what someone wants and needs and the store makes a final sale.” Lee said teachers and schools scrambling to plug budget holes are also opting for registries. “We find a lot of athletic departments at schools are registering for things like soccer nets, 20 basketballs,” she said. “Classroom teachers are asking for things in multiples, like boxes of crayons.”

Cats to take on No. 1 Nebraska volleyball By Nick Gray sports@kykernel.com
PHOTO BY TESSA LIGHTY | STAFF
Freshman Sara Schwarzwalder aims for the ball during the second set against Long Beach State on Aug. 25.
The Ameritas Players Invitational, starting Thursday at the University of Nebraska, will provide the UK volleyball team with its sternest test to date. The Cats will compete against Duquesne (7-1), Oklahoma (5-2) and No. 1 Nebraska (5-0) over the three-day tournament, its third consecutive weekend playing in a four-team, round-robin invitational tournament. UK went 2-1 last weekend, with wins over Ohio and Western Carolina. A cause of concern is the only loss, which was a dominating three-set sweep by then No. 17 Oregon, where the Cats had season lows in blocks and digs. UK struggled against the Oregon attack, unable to defend against the Ducks’ 51 kills and .500 attacking percentage. “We were not ready to perform that day,” UK coach Craig Skinner said. “It was all parts of the game. It was not just one thing.” “Oregon is a good team and we need to be ready to compete when we end up on the floor and get our players experience against good teams like that.” Skinner has preached since the Blue and White Scrimmage about his team’s defense. Defense was a focal point during the preseason, Skinner said, and is the
key to success for the team. It will not be easy to defend the topranked Huskers. Nebraska averages 15.1 kills per set over the early part of the season and features three women who average more than three kills a set on attack, the strength of the team. Also, Nebraska has already upset defending NCAA Champion and then-No. 1 UCLA 3-1 11 days ago. “We are a very physical team and have a lot of experience in four or five positions on the floor and very green in the other two positions. It will be a very physical battle in a great volleyball environment so it will be a fun match,” Skinner said. “Anytime you play the No. 1 ranked team in the country, they are going to be very physical and able to do things around the net, so your defense has to be well prepared.” Skinner did laud Duquesne and Oklahoma as well, saying that his team has “to focus on Duquesne and Oklahoma, who are two very good teams in their own right.” Oklahoma features a strong defense (2.83 blocks per set) while Duquesne is a solid all-around team that averages more than 13 kills a set (13.39). UK will face Duquesne on Thursday at 5:30 p.m., Oklahoma on Friday at 7 p.m. and Nebraska on Saturday at 5 p.m.
D-line needs to improve before SEC play Secondary, playcalling also areas that need fixing CODY PORTER Kernel columnist
Sunday’s game against Louisville was a letdown for UK football. A relapse of sorts. It was far from any renaissance that may have been thought to come. Again, the defensive line was said to be not only the strength of the defense, but of the team. The result was 200-plus yards being posted by two of the Cards’ lesser-known running backs from recent years. UK’s offense flipped the script, much like Louisville did to them. The only problem with sophomore quarterback Maxwell Smith’s 35for-50 performance was the fallback into old playcalling habits. Smith averaged just more than 5 yards per completion due to many of those passes being thrown underneath on the dreaded screens that fans have lambasted Phillips and Co. for since his first season at the helm. Opening this week’s edition of Breaking Bad, though, will be the defensive line. The offense finally gets
off the hook despite managing just 14 points.
1. Defensive Line It’s probably safe to say Arkansas running back Knile Davis, South Carolina’s Marcus Lattimore and Vanderbilt’s Zac Stacy are licking their chops to get a go at the UK defense. If Louisville’s duo could manage more than 200 yards against it, then it’s unimaginable what the quality of those backs could do. It could’ve been dumb luck. Or it could be a forwarning of what’s to come, as UK defensive coordinator Rick Minter alluded to after Sunday’s display. The question still remains as to what coaches saw that made this defense a strength. Seeing four veterans on paper, two of which likely have NFL potential, would make you think success would correlate.
for the Cardinals quarterback. He would go onto lead a drive that comprised several more lengthy passes. At game’s end, Bridgewater had set a Louisville completion percentage record in going 19-for-21 for 232 yards. Many of those completions had the UK secondary everywhere but blanketing a Cardinals wideout.
3. Playcalling UK’s spring game saw an offense, although against its second-team defense, take a 360-degree turn from last season’s run and screen-pass oriented play. But, like the rain that overcame Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium, moods were dampened with the return of a short passing game. If more shots were taken down the field to the point that it became evident
no success was in sight, then understandable. However, nothing like that was witnessed. The Cats attempted only a few passes down the field against the Cards. While the defense wasn’t holding up its end of the bargain, the Cats did find success on those short pass attempts, thanks to an improved receiving corps, but think of how things will go against a speedy and strong SEC de-
fense. The running game, which wasn’t established despite the overhwhelming praise it received prior to the season’s arrival, will need to be mixed in more often. Senior running back CoShik Williams and junior Raymond Sanders proved to be opportunistic when given the chance. The two Cats combined for 100 yards on 13 carries. It will work. Simply expand on it.
2. Secondary Louisville sophomore quarterback Teddy Bridgewater is supposed to be a dual threat. While he did use his legs to shift around the pocket, on Sunday, he reflected Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. His choice given the situation was to pass against the Cats. Backed up against the Cardinals’ end zone, Bridgewater planted a pass directly into the hands of his wide receiver, who had UK senior cornerback Martavius Neloms posed as his shadow. That pass set the tone

Apple’s next event set for Sept. 12 By Andrea Chang MCT
LOS ANGELES — It’s shaping up to be a busy September for major technology announcements. After months of rumors, Apple Inc. on Tuesday sent out invitations for a media event Sept. 12 in San Francisco that is widely expected to be the launch of the iPhone 5. “It’s almost here,” the email invite said, with a huge “12” underneath. Although the invite didn’t say specifically what would be announced, the shadow under
the “12” was of a large “5.” The event will be at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. The Cupertino, Calif., company used the same venue in March to announce its latest iPad tablet computer. Fall is a busy time for tech product launches as companies gear up for huge sales during the holiday season. As rumors swirled that Apple would hold its event Sept. 12, rival firms got a head start by scheduling their own events ahead of the tech behemoth’s. Nokia Corp. and Microsoft Corp. are holding a
joint news conference in New York on Wednesday, and Motorola Mobility will host its own event a few hours later. On Thursday, Amazon.com Inc. will host an event in Santa Monica, Calif. Reports indicate that the e-commerce giant could announce a new Kindle device, refresh multiple devices or possibly debut its own smartphone. Last week Samsung introduced several devices, including the Galaxy Note II, a new Android-powered camera and a Windows 8 tablet. “That Sept. 12 date has
been widely known for quite some time. There is zero surprise that it’s going to be a new phone, and it’s allowed the competitive landscape to arrange around that pin,” said Colin Gillis, an analyst at BGC Financial. “That seems a little un-Apple to me.” Although the other tech events are stealing “a little slice of (Apple’s) thunder,” Apple’s announcement will still get the most attention, Gillis said. “They’re giving other people a chance to front-run it, that’s all,” he said. “We’ll see what everyone else can do.”
It’s expected that the sixth-generation iPhone will be available for pre-order almost immediately after the event, with the device to hit store shelves by the end of the month. The iPhone 5 is rumored to be a big upgrade for the company’s popular smartphone, and hype about the product has caused Apple shares to surge to record highs in recent weeks. One downside, however, is that sales have slowed for current iPhones because of anticipation over the new model. Shares of Apple rose
$9.73, or 1.5 percent, to $674.97 on Tuesday. Based on recent checks with Apple’s Asian suppliers and images purportedly showing the revamped smartphone, technology analysts say they expect a handset with a larger screen, high-speed 4G LTE connectivity, a better camera, faster processors and a smaller dock connector. There’s also a chance that Apple could unveil a rumored mini-iPad tablet, although many analysts say they think the company will wait until October to make that announcement.

Freshman seeks campus’ endless opportunities Finally, the school year has progressed and we are in our third week. That was more exciting in my head; anymore the classes are becoming routine and mundane. Lecture, notes, lecture, activity, notes, reading and repeat. Everyone is experiencing this lull, not just freshmen. Honestly though, it still is a little exciting for me, because we are still in the preliminary rounds of ASHLEIGH introductory lectures. EVANS There seems to be a lot Contributing of waiting, at least as classcolumnist es go. Sadly, just over that horizon of “possibility” there are numerous projects and exams. I guess you win some and you lose some. Things have been looking up, considering my downtime is becoming less and less available. As a freshman, I really am trying to become involved in as many organizations as possible. At this point, I think I have a healthy balance of clubs, school and regular social life. Now, my regular amount is probably very different from someone else’s regular, let’s be honest. Coming into UK, I knew that there was an abundance of clubs and organizations that you could involve yourself in, but I had no idea that they were so extensive. My high school just had a small group of clubs you could join and were pretty general regarding the type of club. I am still really impressed that there is such a wide range
available. I mean, there are major specific clubs; you have no idea how baffled I am by this (but in a good way, I promise). Honestly, I feel like Aladdin’s “A Whole New World” should be playing somewhere right now. Adjusting is becoming easier as the weeks progress. I feel like a majority of freshmen either really miss home or are completely fine. As usual, I fall in the middle of that spectrum. “Adjusting” is such a broad term when I think about it. I say that I’m still adjusting to college life, which includes not only the college but the various activities and culture. Lately though, I feel like I have needed a helping hand on understanding this weather. Since when did the roads become a river? I had no idea that I needed a boat to cross the street. Along those lines, how do you prepare for these sudden changes? College is costing too much money. I have never needed to buy a pair of rainboots in my entire life. Nor have I ever had to learn so much new vocabulary about food alone. I am still really confused as to what Ale-8-One tastes like. I’ve heard it tastes like Sprite but also that it tastes like ginger-flavored ginger ale. What does that mean? What is burgoo? It is still very interesting learning all of this about Kentucky’s culture. UK has proved to be a home away from home, but like anything, it takes time and getting used to. I really have enjoyed my experience so far and cannot wait to fully understand Kentucky. Ashleigh Evans is an ISC freshman. Email opinions@kykernel.com.
letter to the editer One of the horrible aspects of the Aurora, Colo., and other domestic massacres is that the weapons and ammunition were bought legally. Those innocent victims were people’s loved ones and could have been our friends, relatives or ourselves. The 1994 ban on assault weapons should not have been allowed to expire in 2004. I have nothing against responsible gun ownership for hunters, marksmen, collectors or home defense but assault weapons have no role in these pursuits. The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1791 and assures the right to bear arms in order to maintain a militia because this nation had no standing army at that time. This amendment clearly provides the right to own a blunderbuss, a flintlock musket or whatever firearm existed then. It is unlikely that our Founding Fathers could have envisioned assault weapons or that this bill would be defined to allow their purchase. Furthermore, the Ninth Amendment states: “The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights SHALL NOT be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.” The Ninth Amendment overrides the Second one when it intrudes upon the rights of the people to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Restricting the availability of ammunition for assault guns solely to the armed services and SWAT teams would be a logical beginning to prevent the killing of innocent people at theaters, college campuses and shopping malls.

What UK can look forward to as year gets under way GARY
HERMANN Kernel columnist
It is now that time of year when we have serious classwork and dread our first exam or major project. It’s not all work and no play from here on out. It’s also not all play and no work. Here are some helpful
hints to carry you through this first semester. If you are a freshman it may be the first time you hear this advice and I sincerely hope it is useful. First, do not fear Cats Cruiser, it can get you anywhere. Just ask a couple friends of mine who used it to get to the hospital after midnight when one of them suffered a burst appendix. If you have a car at K Lot, or no car at all, Cats Cruiser has you covered.
Go to the UK football home games. Yes, I know the Cats are not very good, but you can make some new friends anyway. There are plenty of tailgate parties, and eventually there will be Keeneland and UK hockey games to make these Saturdays more bearable. Plus, $5 a game is a small price to see some of the best football teams in the country, even if they are beating UK badly. Do not skip class. For all you freshmen, you will not
go back later and read the information in the textbook if you won’t wake up for class. Someone is paying good money for you to go here, don’t waste it. Get in the habit of going to class now before it’s cold and rainy. From here on out, a lot of life will be just showing up, so get a head start. Also, do not be surprised that every restaurant in Lexington doesn’t accept Plus account. Feel free to be outraged and take your business
elsewhere. When you do, it allows the upperclassmen to eat at a place that doesn’t feel overrun by freshmen. Please cherish every moment you have here at UK. This is a great place and you should never regret your choice to go here. You have all kinds of memories left to make whether you have one semester left or are a freshman planning on one day doing a victory lap. There are fields to rush, couches to burn, all nighters
to pull and 3 a.m. Tolly Ho trips for all of us. There will be basketball games, campouts, concerts and rallies to attend. We have to enjoy this lifestyle while we have it. Lastly, please read the Kernel. I would like to know that someone other than my mom and dad are reading my columns. Gary Hermann is the Kernel’s opinions editor. Email ghermann@kykernel.com.
