If there was ever a game evident of the Cats’ ability to flip a switch when the time calls, it was Saturday’s third round matchup. Cincinnati and UK played like the same team for 25 minutes. The Cats didn’t take their first lead until the 8:34 mark of the first half. And the Bearcats led the rebounding battle for a large portion of the first half. At one point they led the Cats in bench points 12-2. They were beating UK at its own game. But with 2:55 remaining in the first half, down 23-24, Willie Cauley-Stein was fouled on a dunk that has probably made it around the Internet a few times already. And the flip got switched. The Bearcats failed to score again in the half, falling behind by seven as the Cats continued an 10-0 run to a 31-24 halftime lead. “I guess that’s why (head coach John Calipari) wants me to dunk everything,” CauleyStien said after UK’s 64-51 victory. Despite the strong finish to the half, however, the Cats kept letting Cincinnati hang around. But UK seemed to say “enough is enough” with 12 minutes remaining in the game. The Bearcats played

Hoops’ season ends with home upset Missed free throws doom UK against 7-seed Dayton By Joshua Huff jhuff@kykernel.com
Dayton turnovers, foul trouble and 29 points from UK guard Makayla Epps were not enough to derail a seventhseeded Flyers team that shot 61 percent from three and 57 percent from the field to bring UK’s season to an end, 99-94, in the NCAA Tournament. Though the Cats won the turnover margin 24-5 and points in the paint margin 4024, the inability to contain Dayton’s Ally Malott and Amber Deane doomed 2-seed UK, which was already without the services of suspended senior forward Azia Bishop. The game went as head coach Matthew Mitchell said it would on Friday, it a fastpaced contest between two talented offensive teams. The missing component for UK was the lack of consistency and passion, though. “Malott had a fantastic day and Deane had a fantastic day,” Mitchell said. “We didn’t ever seem to have that fire in our belly to advance. Dayton beat us.” Malott and Deane combined for 51 of Dayton’s 99 points, but it was the contribution of the Flyer’s bench that helped erase an eight-point UK lead with 12 minutes remaining in the game. Dayton had 33 bench points compared to UK’s 21. “It speaks to the kids who came off the bench,” Dayton head coach Jim Jabir said. “A lot of people contributed in a lot of ways.” After UK pulled ahead by

eight points, the Flyers rallied behind clutch free throw shooting and back-to-back threes from Malott and Deane with 10 minutes left to pull within two. From there out, it was a back and forth game that saw nine lead changes. But missed free throws and missed opportunities hampered UK down the stretch. “It’s mental breakdowns and you just let them back in it,” Mitchell said. “We could’ve had some doubledigit leads, we could’ve had a six-point lead with a missed layup off a steal … it was a tough game.” The loss is a tough pill for UK to swallow after Dayton

had three players foul out and two others with four fouls. The Flyers refused to back down though, using the dribble-drive to kick it back out to the perimeter, as they were 11for-18 from three. “If you just let them drive the ball and don’t stop them getting to the rim, they can really hurt you,” Mitchell said. With Bishop on the bench, UK needed a big game from its post players. Senior forward Jelleah Sidney stepped up with nine points and freshman forward Alexis Jennings had eight points, but UK had no answer for Dayton’s perimeter game. Time and again, the Flyers made numerous clutch shots, with the two
k
biggest coming with less than five minutes in the game that sealed it for Dayton. “We gave them way too many open threes all day long,” Mitchell said. “They did a great job of making them.” With the loss, UK is knocked out of the NCAA Tournament ending what was a turbulent season for the Cats. A season summed up with the suspension of Bishop due to violation of team rules. “It was an interesting situation out there today,” Mitchell said. “With our lack of tenacity. It’s funny, all year, there are just a few games where you can tell by their body language … it just didn’t happen.”
The UK Board of Trustees approved a plan on Monday, March 16, to increase tuition and fees for undergraduate and graduate students by 3 percent for Kentucky residents and 6 percent for non-residents. Lower division undergraduate students would pay $5,390 for the Fall 2015 semester, $158 more than last year. Out-of-state students would pay $12,052. The Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education requires that non-resident undergraduate students pay at least two times more than resident students for tuition and fees. Tuition pays for 57 percent of the university’s $3 billion budget. State appropriations accounted for 63 percent of the budget in 2008, but now account for 43 percent, a decrease of $55 million. Most housing prices would increase by 3 percent, according to a press release. Dining rates would increase by 3.5 percent for the minimum seven meals per week plan, bringing it to $1,371, and the unlimited weekly plan would increase by 2.4 percent, bringing it to $2,150. The 14-meals per week plan would increase by 3.6 percent. Housing prices for the
Kirwan-Blanding complex would increase by 3 percent, as would prices for the newly built dorms including Haggin Hall and Central Hall. The prices for P3-type buildings, which are the newly constructed dorms, were agreed upon with UK’s private housing partner, EdR. First-year medical students would pay 3 percent more than last year’s, bringing the resident rate to $35,929. The Board of Trustees will vote in June on a budget that calls for $101 million in university-funded student financial aid, about $15 million, or 17 percent, more than last year, according to the press release. In 2013, 59 percent of UK students graduated with debt. Of those students, the average was $24,693.

just as well as they had been, UK just shifted into another gear. The Cats have definitely sputtered in their first two games of the NCAA Tournament. It took nearly 15 game minutes to get on track against Hampton Friday, and Saturday UK shot a lowly 37 percent from the field. But as Calipari pointed to in his postgame comments, when you’re team shoots 37 percent and you still win by double digits, what is there to worry about? Not so fast. There is one thing. The Bearcats had a winning game plan Saturday. They hammered it in the post, they got offensive boards, but most importantly they got plenty of open looks from beyond the three-point line — which is a noted giant-killer in the NCAA Tournament. They just couldn’t make them. Cincinnati finished 2-for14 from beyond the arc, and 31 percent shooting overall. It just didn’t have the personnel to execute its nearly flawless blueprint for beating UK. The Bearcats’ chippy, physical style played into their early success, but was rendered useless as UK began to feed off of it. “They’re just going to have to try something else,” Devin Booker said about the Bearcats’ bullying tactics. Someone had better figure it out quickly, though. Only four opportunities remain.

Taking the pulse of Obama’s health care law at age 5 Slight majority has negative views of legislation By Tony Pugh McClatchy Washington Bureau (TNS)
WASHINGTON — With more than 50 congressional repeal votes, a near-death Supreme Court experience and a botched marketplace debut to its credit, the Affordable Care Act has had a tortured five-year existence as the Republican Party's legislative enemy No. 1. And since President Barack Obama signed the health care measure into law on March
23, 2010, its troubled legislative history isn't close to being fully written. Yet another Supreme Court case threatens to topple one of the law's main pillars, there's bipartisan support in Congress to eliminate the tax on medical devices — one of the law's primary funding mechanisms — and a slight majority of Americans still have negative views of the sprawling legislation. But despite the political headwinds, experts say
Obama's legacy-defining law is quietly accomplishing the goals it was created to achieve. The nation's uninsured rate has plummeted as more Americans enroll in Medicaid or in federal and state marketplace coverage. The law's consumer protections and insurance-benefit requirements have improved the quality of coverage for millions of people who get health insurance outside the workplace. Premiums for marketplace health insurance
have largely been reasonable and have increased only moderately thus far. Longterm cost estimates for providing coverage under the law have been falling. Early Congressional Budget Office projections showed the law would trim the federal budget deficit by $124 billion from 2010 to 2019, while its repeal would increase the deficit by more than $100 billion from 2013 to 2022. “Most of the dire predictions made by the critics of the ACA have not come to pass,” said Drew Altman, president and CEO of the
Kaiser Family Foundation. Long viewed as a government overreach, the health care law has been problematic for those who want the private insurance market to dictate who gets health insurance and what it should cost. Fiscal conservatives argue that the federal government can't afford the roughly $1.2 trillion it will cost to subsidize health care for millions of Americans under the law from 2016 to 2025, according to CBO estimates. The Supreme Court ruled in June 2012 that the so-called individual man-
date didn't violate the Constitution. “They don't like the president. They don't like the direction the country is moving in. They don't like the role of government,” Altman said. “At this point, I think we can ask the American people whether they think the ACA will take us to Mars or solve the climate change problem and we would get a perfect split between Democrats and Republicans.” That split has come to define not only the politics of the law but also its implementation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Meat-filled diet bad for health Chinese suppression
Balancing your schedule between classes, studying, friends, work and maybe even sleep, you may not give much thought to what your next meal will be. But before you grab that cheeseburger or pepperoni pizza, remember: what you put into your body today can set the stage for the rest of your life. With March being National Nutrition Month, now is a good time to focus on making informed food choices. Recently, the nation’s top health and nutrition experts made recommendations for the country’s upcoming 2015 dietary guidelines. That advisory committee’s recommendations highlighted our country’s “suboptimal” dietary patterns. Our eating behaviors have contributed to more than two-thirds of adults and one-third of children becoming overweight or obese. Diet recommendations can be misrepresented to the public thanks to the work of certain food interest groups that are more focused on selling their prod-
uct than furthering public health. We’ve been told to follow low-fat diets, highprotein diets and everything in between. Despite the flood of products catering to these types of diets in the grocery store aisles and restaurants, research indicates more Americans are becoming overweight or obese and getting sicker each year. However, the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee made strong, clear recommendations that show the least amount of political influence than we’ve seen in decades. Their advice? Adopt a plant-strong diet, meaning more fruits and veggies and fewer animal products. We need to put the emphasis back on whole, minimally processed foods, the best type of fuel to look and feel great now, while protecting you for years to come. And you can start making small, impactful changes right now. While the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages us to “bite into a healthy lifestyle,” the first bite could be to join the
global Meatless Monday movement. Choosing to take a weekly holiday from meat is an easy way to enjoy more plant-strong meals. As college dining services are offering more meatless options every day, some are dedicating entire dining halls to meatless meals. The University of North Texas, for example, was first in the nation to offer a meat-free dining hall with the majority of diners not vegetarian or vegan, but simply wanting delicious, satisfying, healthier meals. Choosing meatless meals is easy on our time and wallets. At home, these meals can be prepared using a microwave, can opener, blender and stove or hot plate. Fill up on protein-rich foods like a zesty bean and rice bowl, Mediterranean flatbread with hummus and olives, potato and chickpea curry, white bean chili or vegetable lo mein. The benefits of a plantstrong diet reach even beyond our own personal health. The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee
reported that a diet higher in animal-based foods leads to increased greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use and energy use. That’s right – choosing more meatless meals helps protect the environment as well as your own health. Reducing meat consumption also reduces the number of animals exposed to inhumane factory farms practices. This is why the Humane Society of the United States embraces the Three Rs of eating: "reducing" or "replacing" consumption of animal products and "refining" our diets by choosing products from sources that adhere to higher animal welfare standards. Improving own health – and the health of the planet – can be overwhelming. But in this case, we have the potential to make a significant difference one bite at a time.

“What do you think of Tiananmen Square protest in 1989?” I was asked this question in one of my journalism classes recently, and as a Chinese student, I guess what I said to the class was quite surprising. “I don't know much about it,” I said. For a few seconds I felt a little ashamed about not knowing the answer to a question that is supposed to be a concern of all Chinese people. What NPR correspondent Louisa Lim said in an article published in USA Today sheds light on why I was unable to answer that question. “Young people have very little idea what happened in 1989 and very little curiosity or interest,” Lim said. Indeed, politics were never on my radar. My parents, nor my friends, talked about it throughout my life as I can remember. The pro-democracy movement was also completely wiped out from textbooks. I attempted to search Tiananmen Square protest and related terms using Chinese search engines, but most of the information had been scrubbed off of the Internet. All I could find was what the government wanted us to know. A survey conducted among four colleges in Beijing found out that only 15 out of 100 students shown the “Tank Man” photo could positively identify the incident. People who actually know the Tiananmen Square protest are afraid of speaking out because of fear of being arrested. Before studying abroad in
the U.S., I had never deeply thought about censorship and how it has affected the lives of many other Chinese. After I came to UK and majored in journalism, I started to realize the importance of democracy and the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment. Actually, China does have its own version of the First Amendment. It’s listed under Article 35 of the Chinese Constitution – “Citizens of the People’s Republic of China enjoy freedom of speech, of the press, of assembly, of association, of procession and of demonstration.” But when government and non-government interests collide, the so-called freedoms are useless. China has a population of over 1.35 billion. What worked for the U.S. does not necessarily work for China. I cannot say democracy is the way out when the leader of the town in which I grew up was elected solely based upon how much money he or she had. But when an estimated 300,000 babies were reported to be sick due to consuming contaminated milk in 2008, when Chinese journalist Li Xiang was stabbed more than 10 times to death for his investigative reporting on illegally recycled cooking oil, when a completely made-up Chinese character, “duang,” is currently trending and being debated on Chinese social media platforms, one thing I know for sure is that censorship is just the tip of the iceberg.

UK survives Cat fight Wildcats pull past Cincinnati in physical Round of 32 game By Kevin Erpenbeck kerpenbeck@kykernel.com
The Cats knew they would get a physical test from Cincinnati. It’s what embodies the team from the Queen City, whether the Bearcats are led by coaches Mick Cronin or Larry Davis, as UK’s John Calipari referenced on Friday. But amid tough fouls, strong battles under the rim and metaphorical punches from Cincinnati, the Cats responded the way they’re known for: overwhelming their opponents with physicality of their own. UK used its solid defense to suppress Cincinnati to 24 percent shooting in the second half, beating the pesky Bearcats 64-51 in Saturday’s Round of 32 match of the 2015 NCAA Tournament. “We wore them down I think with the platoon system and did a better job getting lower bases and making more angles for ourselves,” freshman forward Karl-Anthony Towns said. “They came out physical, and we started getting used to it and started playing better.” The win grants the Cats a spot in the Sweet 16 in Cleveland on Thursday. UK also became the first team in NCAA history to go 36-0 in a season. Sophomore guard Aaron Harrison led the way with 13 points while freshman forward Trey Lyles had his second double-double of the year, putting up 11 in points and rebounds. UK felt the pressure of Cincinnati’s tough-nosed defense in the first half as it shot under 35 percent from the field and was 2-for-9 from the three. The 8-seed Bearcats also showed no fear going up against the topseeded team in the country, with 18 of their 24 first-half points coming from the paint. With less than three minutes to go before the break,
the Cats trailed by two and needed a response to UC’s physicality. Enter a high-flying Willie Cauley-Stein dunk. The junior forward posterized Cincinnati freshman Quadri Moore with a twohanded slam, with Moore being called for the foul in the process. Cauley-Stein has made a habit of creating highlight-reel dunks this season, almost to the point where his teammates are surprised if he doesn’t get one in a game. “That’s what we expect out of Willie now,” freshman guard Devin Booker said. “Now that I’ve seen it, I wonder why people keep jumping with him. It’s the same result every time. He’s just incredible.” The 7-footer finished with nine points, two blocks and a steal. After Cauley-Stein’s momentum-swinging play, Towns said his teammates talked about getting back to playing to their identity and imposing their will the way they knew they could. The result was a 6-0 run by the Cats; part of the final 10 points scored by UK to close out the half. “We came in the huddle and were really upset with ourselves,” Towns said. “We told ourselves we wanted to lock down, get all stops and capitalize on our offensive

held them to 37 percent, but they shot 28 free throws,” Davis said. “Physically, we matched them and held our own. But in the end, the difference of the game was the free throws.” The Cats’ latest victory wasn’t pretty, and Calipari knew it wasn’t going to be heading in. But the way his team responded to the physical test defines the undefeated squad, and the head coach anticipates similar games the rest of the way. “I always like it when my team shoots 37 percent and wins in double digits. It shows them they don’t have to make shots to win,” Calipari said. “I keep saying they’re not going to do this on their terms. No one is going to surrender. If you have to fight, you gotta fight. But this team has a will and the heart to win.”

Mexico gets serious about saving its tiny endangered porpoise By Tim Johnson McClatchy Foreign Staff (TNS)
SAN FELIPE, Mexico _ Mexico is taking drastic measures to stave off possible extinction of the world's tiniest porpoise, but the doomsday clock keeps ticking on the marine mammal known as the vaquita. If the lights go out on the vaquita, it would mark the second porpoise species to disappear in this century as the result of human activity. The Yangtze River dolphin in China was declared functionally extinct in 2006. A tiny and shy creature easily entangled in the gill nets used by fishermen, the vaquita has always been somewhat rare. It swims in the northern Gulf of California, which separates the Baja Peninsula from mainland Mexico. That's the smallest range of any cetacean in the world. Some of the fishermen blamed for the vaquita's dwindling numbers would cheer a declaration that the creature is extinct. They say efforts to protect the mammal deprive them of their livelihood. They cast doubt on how many of the porpoises are even left. Scientists using acoustic detection methods say the vaquita population dwindled from 567 in 1997 to only 97 last year, with fewer than 25 breeding females. In late February, authorities announced that they'd expand a vaquita reserve in

which all gill-net fishing is banned by nearly eleven fold, to cover about 5,000 square miles, a vast area that includes the delta where the Colorado River flows into the Gulf of California. Later this month, authorities say, they'll begin using drones and satellite detection to enforce the two-year fishing ban. They'll start a $36 million buyout program that will pay fishermen to stay off their boats. The program also will splash cash onto a chain of commercial activity related to fishing. “What we’re trying to do is attack the factors that lead to the death of the vaquita,” said Rafael Pacchiano Alaman, deputy secretary for protection at the
MSU back in Sweet 16 with 60-54 win over Virginia
Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources. Some leading environmental activists cheer the program, saying it could pull the vaquita from critical danger. “If what the federal government has announced is effectively implemented, we have no doubt that the species will begin to recover,” said Omar Vidal, head of the Mexican branch of the World Wildlife Fund. Vidal noted that whalers had hunted the northern elephant seal to near extinction a century ago, leaving only 25 animals on a volcanic shard of land known as Guadalupe Island, 150 miles off the Pacific Coast of Baja California. “It recovered. Today the elephant seal population is
healthy again,” he said. In San Felipe, one of two main fishing towns at the edge of the vaquita reserve, fishermen voice anger and resentment at the gill-net ban and skepticism that it will work. Some scoff at estimates of 97 remaining vaquitas. “They’ve pulled these numbers out of some magic hat,” said Sunshine Antonio Rodriguez, president of the Federation of Coastal Fishing Cooperatives of San Felipe. “I’ve been at sea for 25 years, and I've seen one only once,” said Francisco Javier Albanez Mendoza, a fisherman. “People around here say that you should take the environmental activists and the vaquitas and get rid of them all.”
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — When the shot clock gets late for Michigan State, the Spartans usually go with Travis Trice or Denzel Valentine out front, trying to create off a ball screen. With the shot clock melting on him late in Sunday's NCAA round of 32 grinder against Virginia, senior Trice waved off that ball screen. He sized up one of the best defenders in the country, Malcolm Brogdon. And he let fly with a deep 3-point bomb, Brogdon's right hand just inches from the ball. It fell. And so did the Cavaliers, in a 60-54 upset that has Tom Izzo's Spartans in the Sweet 16 yet again. Trice's 3-pointer with 2:51 left was the shot of his 23-point day, and the East Regional No. 7 seed Spartans (25-11) led for almost the entire game against Tony Bennett's No. 2 seed Cavaliers (30-4). Just as in a Sweet 16 win for MSU over Virginia a year ago, the Spartans were the grittier and better of the two teams. So MSU will head to Syracuse, N.Y., and play Friday at the Carrier Dome in the East Regional semifinals. The Spartans held the Cavaliers to 29.8 percent shooting, and top scorer Malcolm Brogdon had just nine points. The start couldn't have been better for MSU and Trice. He hit a 3 to give MSU its first lead, then another to make it 8-4. Then he got a fast-break
dunk, another 3 and a fastbreak layup. It was a stunning flurry of 13 points in a span for 3:43 for Trice, and Virginia called timeout with 14:28 left in the half, down 15-4. Trice would not score again in the half. The Spartans would score eight points the rest of the way, hurt by the absence of Valentine and Lourawls (Tum Tum) Nairn. Nairn got his second foul and sat with 13:21 left in the half, Valentine with 9:56 left. Big man Darion Atkins was the lift for UVA, collecting six points, eight rebounds and two emphatic blocks in the first half. Thanks mostly to him, the Cavaliers trailed just 23-18 at the break. The Spartans got the lead back up, though, using transition again. MSU senior Branden Dawson got hit on a fast-break drive and hit two foul shots. Then Trice found him in transition for a layup, plus the foul and free throw. That was part of a 13-3 run to put the Spartans up 37-25 with 15 minutes left. Then came more foul trouble and a Virginia run. Valentine got his third and sat with 14:53 left. When he returned with 11:09 left, that lead was down to 38-34 on a 9-1 Cavs run. MSU got two straight Dawson buckets to go up 4234. The Cavs got it back to four, mostly at the foul line. Trice got it back to eight, 4941, with two clutch foul shots with 4:21 left. And the Spartans were mostly excellent from there, defensively and at the line.
