Covering their losses

Three inches of water, maybe more to come after snow melt floods Journalism Building By Will Wright news@kykernel.com
After covering art, computers and personal belongings in plastic, faculty in the Enoch Grehan Journalism Building hoped their valuables would remain dry. A broken membrane in the Grehan Building roof allowed water to leak into second-floor classrooms and some faculty offices on Saturday, said Herald Sanford of UK’s Physical Plant Division. The membrane is a film on top of the roof that is meant to seal it from water. It was repaired in November, but cracked last week due to sub-zero temperatures. UK Public Relations
was unable to provide an estimate on the cost of repairs on Monday. Two second-floor classrooms got the worst of the damage, with faculty reporting inches of water on top of the carpet. Maintenance crews worked to remove the water, but some faculty worry the leaks will continue as the snow melts on the building’s flat roof. “We’re thinking it probably will (leak again), but we can’t be sure,” said Nancy Grant Harrington, associate dean for research in the College of Communication and Information. The roof has leaked before, Harrington said, and many of her possessions were nearly destroyed by the flooding last time, but staff “swooped in” and
saved her computer and books as water seeped through the ceiling. This time, she’s taking precautions. Harrington draped a large sheet of opaque plastic, provided by the PPD, over her desk and moved some valuables to a different room. “As soon as the first opportunity … we’re going to get that membrane resealed,” Sanford said. “We’ve got the building pretty much back to normal.” Faculty on the second floor are preparing for more leaks, however, and about ten classes temporarily moved to different rooms and buildings due to the flooding. Sanford said no other buildings were damaged due to the recent snow.
The two second-floor classrooms received the worst of the damage this time, but some water leaked through the second floor and into the first floor, said Scott Johnson, director of research and instructional technology for the College of Communications. “(Classroom) 223 was a lake, three inches deep,” he noted. “And in (classroom) 225 it was raining.” No technology was damaged in the latest leak, Johnson said, and he was impressed by how quickly PPD workers were on the scene cleaning up the water on Saturday. “(This time) we were actually fairly lucky,” Johnson said. “It was mainly isolated to the two classrooms.”

Season closing in for downed Hoops By Joshua Huff jhuffs@kykernel.com
By Ella Wilkie
It’s about time to start conceiving a notion of UK Hoops ending the regular season on a five-game losing streak. After Monday’s loss to Ole Miss down in Oxford, Miss., the thought of UK entering the SEC Tournament winless in its final five games seems plausible.
news@kykernel.com
Beau Willimon, the mind behind the Netflix political drama “House of Cards,” visited the UK Singletary Center Monday evening to share his thoughts on the international phenomenon and answer a few of the audience’s questions regarding the upcoming season. Producer David Fincher approached the painter turned writer after seeing Willimon’s work in the film, “The Ides of March,” starring Ryan Gosling and George Clooney. The goal was to create an American drama influenced by the 1990s satirical British TV show of the same name. “Writers are professional thieves. We steal from those before us and [from] all around us,” Willimon said. The Virginia native worked on a few campaigns in his younger years and has kept up with some of the present actions of the U.S. government. He also showed off his knowledge

She finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds, a solid performance after a slew of poor games. But for a team that opened the year with early season wins against Baylor and Louisville, the race to the finish is beginning to be more of a slog than a sprint.

YouTube stars move to TV in search of new revenue By Paresh Dave Los Angeles Times (TNS)
Stephanie Horbaczewski's company, StyleHaul, manages 5,000 YouTube stars who dazzle 60 million viewers a month with watch'em-and-learn videos such as "My Shower Routine!" and "2 Ways to Get Princess Jasmine's Hair." The YouTube videos, sponsored by the likes of L'Oreal and Banana Republic, delve into fashion, beauty and the lives of women under 35. They generate income for both the stars and StyleHaul. The Los Angelesbased company doesn't release financial information, but claims revenue has tripled in the last year. Now StyleHaul's top personalities are seeking more than just online stardom. StyleHaul and several com-
panies like it are helping their video bloggers leap to leading roles on television and movies. The bigger screens come with prestige, millions of new viewers and larger paydays. StyleHaul recently signed a deal with the Oxygen cable network, Trium Entertainment and Lentos Brand to create a reality series featuring StyleHaul stars, tentatively titled "Survival of the Clickiest." Horbaczewski hopes the increased credibility, visibility and financial stability that television offers on-air personalities flows its way too. "You come at it as: How do we create something to excite our existing audience while bringing over a new audience?" she said. Though online advertising spending is growing, television remains supreme.
Some entertainment industry analysts predict that television shows will become indistinguishable from the Web videos. That future isn't imminent, but the Oxygen deal is among a growing list of experiments laying the foundation for widespread crossover between YouTube and traditional Hollywood. The Web stars "view TV as the ultimate graduation," Amy Powell, president of Paramount Television, said at a recent conference. For StyleHaul and its ilk, TV advertising dollars are a major draw. Online video ads are expected to hit near $8 billion this year, according to Emarketer _ but TV advertising will total $71 billion. And television's continuing appeal to female viewers over 35 provides a potential new audience for StyleHaul.

Hoops losing streak continues at Ole Miss UK Hoops’ woes continued on Monday as the team dropped its third straight game in a 67-59 road loss to Ole Miss. The Rebels snapped a six-game losing streak against the Cats with their win. No. 13 UK (19-8, 8-6 SEC) experienced a cold night of shooting as it hit just 32 percent of its shots and missed 10 free throws. Sophomore guard Linnae Harper led the team in points, scoring 16 on 6for-18 shooting. Harper also picked up 10 rebounds to add to her teamhigh 191 on the year. Senior guard Jennifer O’Neill and freshman forward Alexis Jennings also scored in double figures for the Cats. O’Neill fin-
ished with 13 points while Jennings had 10. Ole Miss went after UK with a barrage of three-pointers, taking 19 shots from behind the arc. Junior guard Gracie

UK sophomore point guard Makayla Epps had to come out during the first half of the game due to an aggravated Achilles, UK reported. Epps was substituted back in during the second half. She made a free throw for her only point of the game on a 0-for-5 night from the floor. The Cats will travel to Arkansas on Thursday in hopes of stopping their recent skid before heading into the postseason. UK currently sits sixth in the conference standings.

Thousands gather for N.C. funeral By Andrew Carter Chapel Hill, N.C. (TNS)
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. They gathered on Sunday to honor a man who they said wouldn't have wanted such a spectacle, inside a building he didn't want named after him. Inside the Dean E. Smith Center, they came to remember and reminisce and to memorialize Dean Smith, the longtime North Carolina coach who died on Feb. 7 at 83. Smith's private funeral, attended by family members and former players and people close to him, was last week. This, on Sunday, was his public memorial _ a chance for his the community at UNC and beyond to say goodbye. Thousands gathered at the Smith Center _ which Smith, as longtime UNC radio announcer Woody Durham told the story, wanted named the "Student Activities Center." That was a sign of his modesty and humility. Smith never did like the accolades and attention. "He never would accept or really understand" why thousands of people showed up in his honor on Sunday, said Mickey Bell, who played for Smith from 1972-75. Bell was one of six players who spoke on Sunday, and he was the only one who wasn't an All-American who went on to play professionally. In some ways Bell personified the every man kind of player Smith always prioritized. He was known for treating his players the same, whether they were All-Americans or the walk-ons at the end of the bench. "He coached you to be a better basketball player for four years," Bell said. "He coached you to be a man for a lifetime." N.C. Gov. Pat McCroy attended the memorial, as did Sen. Thom Tillis. In addition to Bell, former players Billy Cunningham,
Phil Ford, Brad Daugherty, Eric Montross and Antawn Jamison all spoke. They represented the spectrum of Smith's career at UNC. Cunningham played on some of Smith's earliest teams at UNC while Jamison played on the final team he coached before his retirement in 1997. "To say it was difficult times for him is an understatement," Cunningham said of those early years under Smith, who was once hung in effigy on the UNC campus. Smith's former players spoke some about his accomplishments as a coach but they spoke more about what Smith had meant to their lives, and how he had shaped them into the men they became. "When the smoke cleared the one man who was going to be standing there right beside you no matter what was Coach Smith," Daugherty said. "... I miss you, Coach. I miss you." Daugherty said Smith believed in him more than he believed in himself. Others shared similar stories. Nearly everyone who spoke speakers also included Durham and Erksine Bowles and UNC coach Roy Williams told stories about Smith's loyalty. Two of Smith's children his son Scott and his daughter Kristen spoke toward the end of the service. The Smith family fiercely guarded Smith's privacy, especially in his later years, but Scott and Kristen spoke with gratitude about the outpouring of support they'd received from the public. Williams, meanwhile, became emotional at times when speaking of Smith, who gave Williams his start in college coaching. "Everybody has negatives, everybody has plusses." Williams said. "Coach Smith has more plusses than anybody I've ever known.”

Academy breaks norm in Oscar race decision
2015 OSCAR ACADEMY AWARD WINNERS
‘Boyhood,’ ‘Birdman’ tug-of-war for Best Picture KYLE ARENSDORF Kernel Columnist
The 87th Academy Awards brought some locks and some tight finishes, but the night’s final prize remained a veritable toss-up until the end. “American Sniper” and “Selma” had outside shots at striking gold, but Best Picture was only a real possibility for “Birdman” and “Boyhood.” The latter was the better film and deserved to win, but it fell victim to the ebbs and flows of the traditionally tumultuous Oscar season. “Boyhood” was a critical darling since its debut at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and seemed to be following in the footsteps of other Sundance successes like “Little Miss Sunshine” and “Beasts of the Southern Wild” to an Oscar nomination. But as the season wore on and one critics group after another hailed it as the best film of 2014, it began to earn frontrunner status. Once a film earns the “frontrunner” moniker — no matter how great of a film it is — pundits and even the same critics who loved it before start to peck away at it.
That’s why momentum and popularity at the right time are so important for a film during an awards-season run. That momentum shifted to “Birdman” when the respective guilds started to give their annual awards. The star-studded cast of “Birdman” was always expected to get the Screen Actors Guild’s top prize, Best Ensemble. Then its director, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, also won the top Directors Guild Award, which was “Boyhood” helmer Richard Linklater’s to lose. But “Birdman” got its biggest boost of the season and went from frontrunner to near-lock for Best Picture when it won the top Producers Guild Award. The PGA uses the same preferential balloting system to decide its winner as the Academy does. The guilds are also illuminating to the Best Picture landscape because there is a large member crossover among the guilds and the Academy. Not to mention the only film to win the SAG, the DGA and the PGA and go on to lose Best Picture was “Apollo 13” nearly 20 years ago. So it looked set that “Birdman” would hit pay dirt on Oscar Sunday, that is until the British Academy of
Film and Television Awards put a roadblock in front of its victory parade. The BAFTAs have gone in the same direction with their Best Picture selection as the Oscars the last six years, and this year they went with “Boyhood” for Best Film as well as Richard Linklater for Best Director. And so the toss-up was set. And prognosticators picked one or the other based purely on which precursor they prescribe to — the guilds or BAFTA. I thought “Birdman” was a love-it-or-hate-it film, which usually falls short on Oscar night because of the balloting system. It seemed to me that despite the late love that came “Birdman”’s way, “Boyhood” still had the best shot at Best Picture because of its widespread admiration across all branches. But any extraordinary anger that’s spewed at the Academy over its Best Picture selection is superfluous. No matter which film the Academy would have chosen Sunday, it would have been a refreshing diversion from their usual cookie-cutter path.

School rankings do not determine value of education PATRICK BRENNAN Kernel Columnist
UK might officially rank behind the Harvards and Princetons in the nation, but we don’t lack any opportunities for education. What I’ve realized over the past year is that most
universities supply ample resources for learning. Between three semesters at Vanderbilt University, a summer at the University of Louisville, and now more than a year at UK, I’ve seen that learning comes down to individual effort. Mathematical concepts don’t change, economic principles stay the same and scientific research is conducted no differently from school to school. Any student who really
wants to learn can find all the tools they need to excel. Here at UK, we have one of the most impressive libraries in the world, as well as hundreds of accomplished professors. If anything changes among universities, it’s mostly the amount of pressure students and professors put on each other. However, a self-motivated student can find all they want at almost any university.
There is also evidence to show that students have equal perception of their professor’s abilities, even at very different universities. For example, ratemyprofessor.com shows that the average rating of professors at my old school, Vanderbilt, is almost exactly the same as the average rating of professors at UK. This remains true for me, too. I have come across genius professors, as well as dull ones, at every institution.
Classroom material can be understood at various levels, and each student can dive in as deeply as they want with their professor over reading or materialbased problems. Yet, because we don’t wade in the pressure of a “top tier” school, it may be more of a challenge to push ourselves to a deep understanding. On the other hand, since we have to carve our own path of learning, the under-
standing gained is unforced and seems more genuine. To be sure, there are certainly some unique opportunities only expensive private schools can offer, but when it comes to the characteristic which defines universities — education — it is up to each individual to decide the quality.

Supporters of journalist missing in Syria take to social media to ask for release By Mark Seibel McClatchy Washington Bureau
Major U.S. media organizations launched a campaign Thursday to publicize the plight of missing McClatchy contributor Austin Tice, who disappeared in Syria in August 2012. Tice is thought to be still alive, and he isn't a prisoner of the Islamic State group, which executed two American journalists last year. But there's been no direct communication with his captors since he vanished near Damascus as he was traveling to Beirut. The only news of Tice to surface publicly since he stopped communicating with his editors and family Aug. 13, 2012, was a brief video posted to YouTube on Sept. 26, 2012, that showed him blindfolded and being led up a hill by a group of armed men. The video provided the motif for the campaign, a black blindfold emblazoned with the hashtag #FreeAustinTice. Banner ads bearing that message are scheduled to appear on 268 websites for the next several weeks, according to the campaign's coordinator, the advocacy group Re-
porters Without Borders. "The #FreeAustinTice campaign is launched at a critical moment when the White House is reviewing its policy to secure the release of American hostages," Reporters Without Borders Secretary-General Christophe Deloire said in a statement. In addition to the McClatchy Co., which publishes newspapers in 29 U.S. cities, participants in the campaign include Gannett Co., publisher of USA Today; Hearst Newspapers, which publishes the Houston Chronicle and other newspapers and magazines; Atlantic Media; and The Washington Post. The campaign was designed without charge by the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency. Tice, a native of Houston, was a Reserve Marine Corps officer who had completed two years of law school at Georgetown University when he decided in the spring of 2012 to enter Syria and try his hand at freelance reporting. The Obama administration is studying how it addresses the issue of Americans kidnapped overseas, but it's said the refusal to pay ransom is

not being reconsidered. "After nearly 1,000 days in captivity, the time for Austin Tice's release is long past," James Asher, the chief of McClatchy's Washington
Bureau, said in a statement. "We are hopeful that by harnessing the power of social media and the Internet we can convince those holding Austin to free him."
Speaking up By Marisa Taylor McClatchy Washington Bureau
Thomas Drake became a symbol of the dangers whistleblowers face when they help journalists and Congress investigate wrongdoing at intelligence agencies. He claims he was subjected to a decade of retaliation by the National Security Agency that culminated in his being charged with espionage. But when the Pentagon Inspector General's Office opened an inquiry into the former senior NSA official's allegations of retaliation in 2012, it looked at only two of the 10 years detailed in his account, according to a recently released Pentagon summary of the probe, before finding no evidence of retaliation. That finding ended Drake's four-year effort to return to government service. Whistleblower advocates say Drake's experience, spelled out in a document McClatchy obtained this month through the Freedom of Information Act, underscores the problem that intelligence and defense workers face in bringing malfeasance to the surface. The agencies that are supposed to crack down on retaliation are not up to the task, especially when the alleged wrongdoing involves classified information, they charge. "This report epitomizes the
utter lack of protection for national security whistleblowers," said Jesselyn Radack, Drake's attorney. "This is a pathetic, anemic excuse for an investigation." Although investigators appear to have rejected Drake's claims almost a year ago, the Pentagon Inspector General's Office did not publicly disclose its findings and hadn't shared them even with Drake's attorneys. The spy agency cites the espionage prosecution as the reason for suspending his security clearance and other personnel actions, but it declined to comment further At Drake's sentencing hearing, where he was given probation on a misdemeanor charge, the judge criticized the government's handling of Drake's case, calling it "unprecedented" that a 10-count espionage indictment was dismissed just a few days before trial. The prosecutor conceded that evidence was "coming up short." Drake said the rejection of his claims by the inspector general's office set a dangerous precedent for the oversight of intelligence agencies. "What happened to me already had a chilling effect on whistleblowers relying on official channels," he said. "This is just more evidence that the system is corrupted."

“tweak.” Last season, Calipari’s team limped into the SEC Tournament then proceeded to blaze through the competition and through the NCAA Tournament, which it nearly won. But other than Willie Cauley-Stein’s injury, the men’s team hardly suffered from the same issues that plague this Hoops team: a short bench, inconsistency in the perimeter and porous post play. With a conference that boasts two undefeated
“It made total sense that he wasn’t more politically driven because he mentioned how the show and its characters are driven by power more-so than politics,” Pekman said. Willimon attributes a large portion of the series’ success to Netflix and its faith in the success of his screenplay. The company surpassed his expectations by offering a two-season guarantee while offering the team almost total creteams in conference play (South Carolina and Tennessee) and two four-loss teams (Mississippi State and Texas A&M), the climb up the conference ladder becomes more like a summit up Everest without an oxygen mask. Not saying its out of the realm of possibility. If given time to rest, Epps has displayed the ability to become a great point guard, as her 42-point game against Mississippi St. attests to, and guard Jennifer O’Neill has shown the ability to carry the Cats when needed, as Baylor remembers. The post play, however,

Whether binge watching an entire series in one day or spacing it out over a few weeks, many Americans, including some UK students, will have their attention fully devoted to season three of “House of Cards.” “We’re having a foodthemed binge watching party Friday night,” Pekman said. is a year or two away from becoming a true contender, and that spells doom for this year’s team. Senior Jelleah Sidney is running on borrowed time, as her knees have little left, Alexis Jennings may be the best offensive post player but she’s inexperienced and UK’s tallest starter Azia Bishop is on her farewell tour. It’s tough to say whether UK can bounce back after these setbacks, as the Rebels provided the Cats with its best chance to right the ship. But the loss on Monday was the first shovel of dirt into an already dug grave.
N.C. State poses threat By Luke DeCock
It's been a generation since N.C. State could even venture a claim to a better backcourt than North Carolina. Literally. Chris Corchiani helped make the best case, in 1989-90. His son Chris Jr. is a Wolfpack walk-on now. Not since Fire and Ice have N.C. State's guards compared this favorably to what the Tar Heels have to offer. It only feels like that long since N.C. State has won in Chapel Hill, but the trio of Trevor Lacey, Ralston Turner and Cat Barber has a chance to change that Tuesday. The key will be getting all three firing at the same time, which didn't happen in the first meeting in Raleigh, an 81-79 win for the Tar Heels. Lacey and Turner combined for 39 points, but Barber had only five on 1for-5 shooting. And North Carolina's Marcus Paige outplayed them all, as he so often does against N.C. State, with a season-high 23. It starts with Lacey, whose ability to create his own shot is only slightly less impressive than his clutch instincts. BarThe News & Observer
ber has the quick first step to get to the rim, and is playing some of the best basketball of his career in recent weeks. Turner is the kind of deadeyed 3-point shooter usually found on the North Carolina wing _ but not this year. That diversity makes N.C. State even more difficult to defend. "That's a major concern for the team they're playing on the defensive end of the floor," North Carolina coach Roy Williams acknowledged. Considered together, it's a more fearsome collection than North Carolina can offer this season, a departure from the days of Raymond Felton and Rashad McCants and Ty Lawson and Wayne Ellington and Kendall Marshall and Harrison Barnes and Reggie Bullock and P.J. Hairston, to name only a few. Paige is at that level but has been hampered by injuries. Even if he were fully healthy, this still wouldn't be a classic Carolina backcourt without another consistent outside threat. Justin Jackson has been scraping for confidence all season, and J.P. Tokoto is lethal within 3

feet of the rim but erratic farther away. Simply put, N.C. State's backcourt has more ways to hurt you. It's been decades since N.C. State could say this, probably since the Fire and Ice days of Corchiani and Rodney Monroe, although even when they could make their best case, as juniors in 1990, the Tar Heels could run out Hubert Davis and King Rice against them. Guard play is college basketball's ultimate trump card, and Lacey, Turner and Barber account for 56.8 percent of N.C. State's scoring. When all three score in double figures, N.C. State is 8-2, including the Wolfpack's upset at Louisville. It's going to take a similar tripartite effort to neutralize North Carolina's decided advantage inside, where Brice Johnson and Kennedy Meeks both average in double figures and reserves Isaiah Hicks and Joel James have both improved substantially over the course of the season. "Probably what flies under the radar is how effective Brice and Kennedy have been for them," N.C. State coach Mark Gottfried said.
