WASHINGTON _ PresidentBarack Obama conceded Wednes-day he suffered "a shellacking" inTuesday's election and seemedheaded toward a collision withRepublican leaders over the ad-ministration's health care initiativeas an uneasy realignment of politi-cal power began to solidify.

Republicans formed transitionteams and released reports outlin-ing their plans while a somberObama held a news conferencethat was a mix of contrition anddefiance.

Obama said he was open tocompromise with Republicanleaders, who picked up at least 60seats in Tuesday's historic elec-

tion, enough to regain control ofthe U.S. House when Congressopens its new session in January.

Tax cuts, changes in Washing-ton's culture, and elimination ofpet spending projects all are issueson which the two sides mightreach agreement, Obama said. Butbeyond a "tweak" or two, the pres-ident made plain he would notstand for repeal of a health carelaw that he views as the crowningachievement of his 22-monthtenure.

Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio,called the law a "monstrosity."Obama, speaking to reporters inthe East Room of the WhiteHouse, said: "I think we'd be mis-reading the election if we thought

Soledad O’Brien, a CNN reporterand correspondent, spoke to studentsand members of the Lexington commu-nity Wednesday evening.

O’Brien discussed diversity duringher lecture, which took place at 8 p.m.in the Singletary Center for the Arts.

The event was sponsored by the

Student Activities Board LeadershipSpeaker Series, and was free to UKstudents.

UK students looking to stay safe oncampus should avoid risky behavior andkeep their eyes open, UK Police say.

A total of 11,914 part one-indexcrimes were reported in Lexington lastyear. Of the 562 robberies reported inLexington in 2009, only six occurred onthe University of Kentucky campus, saidAlan Saylor, police officer and crime pre-vention specialist for the University ofKentucky Police Department.

There isn’t a significant difference re-garding crimes reported on campus be-tween this year and last year.

Saylor said nine crimes have been re-ported this year, five occurring in a spanof two weeks.

“Your chances of being robbed in thecity are much higher than it would behere on campus,” Saylor said. “We havean open campus. There is nothing to pre-vent that crime from occurring here.”

Most of the incidents that have hap-pened on and around the UK campus oc-cured during early morning hours. Therobberies occurred in isolated areas ofcampus and the burglaries around campuswere not forced entries.

Authorities emphasize that neverwalking alone and keeping a locked doordoes make a difference.

“You secure in and you secure outwhen you leave everyday,” said Saylor.

Junior Travis Benge says he has madeit a habit to lock his front door wheneverhe leaves and enters his house, which islocated near campus.

“I’d rather be safe than sorry,”Bengesaid.

According to UK Police, the most im-portant advice for students is to take sim-ple precautions and to utilize the toolsprovided by the university to lower therisk of being a crime victim. SAFECATSis a resource for UK students that providea safe and free escort anywhere on cam-pus.

Students must avoid risky behaviorof any kind, keep an eye on each otherand make sure everything is safe, Saylorsaid.

“What I see most often is that stu-dents do not want to inconvenience them-selves, when you inconvenience yourself,you lower your risk of being in an emer-gency situation,” said Saylor.

Some UK students are sure the incon-vienence is worth it.

The Parking and Transporta-tion Services is offering studentsan alternate way to get home forthe holidays beginning this No-vember.

Ride Home Express is an op-tion for UK students and employ-ees who are going out of town forthe Thanksgiving, Christmas andspring breaks.

“We have several differentshuttles and the Ride Home Ex-press will leave on Tuesday, Nov.23 of Thanksgiving break andcome back on Nov. 28,” said

Chrissie Balding Tune, the spokes-woman for PTS. “It will do thesame for winter break and springbreak. It will always start the lastday of classes and come back theSunday before classes start.”

Ride Home Express will run atthe start and end of the Thanksgiv-ing, winter semester and springbreaks.

“We’re hoping this will reallyhelp students who don’t have carson campus so their families don’thave to travel to Lexington andback, and for students who havetheir own car don’t have to dealwith wear and tear and gas

prices,” Tune said. “There’s alsoWi-Fi on the buses so students cankeep up with things during thetrip.”

Acording to a UK Parkingpress release, there are eight routeswith the Express and it will stop in29 cities ranging from Indianapo-lis, Ind. to Kennesaw, Ga. Pricesrange from $39-$129.

“We worked with the Registraroffice to get some demographicswhere students are actually fromand serving those students,” Tunesaid. “Each route has several dif-ferent stops. All of the locationsare within a six- hour radius of

UK the furthest north is Cleve-land, furthest south is Atlanta andfurthest west is Chicago.”

The press release also says theExpress will feature comfortabledeluxe motor coach buses and thefares will be more affordable thanairlines.

"Due Date" aims the slow burn of RobertDowney Jr. at the addled idiocy of Zach Gali-fianakis in a "Hangover" director's version of

"Planes, Trains and Automo-biles."

And shockingly, it's fun-ny. Often in shocking or atleast wildly inappropriateways.

The set-up Peter, a har-ried businessman (Downey)dashes to the Atlanta airportso he can be home in timefor his wife (Michelle Mon-aghan) to give birth. Her"Due Date" is Friday. ButPeter runs afoul of Ethan(Galifianakis), a shamblingbear of a boob, travelingwith a pug dog named Son-ny. From the instant Ethan'spal smashes into Peter'sTown Car limo, the chubbyguy is bad news.

"We haven't been drinking." Pause. "Wesplit a six pack." Pause. "Of 40s."

Before Peter can say "Get me a restrainingorder," Ethan has had him shot by an AirMashal ("Relax. It's just a rubber bullet.")kicked off the plane and put on the interna-tional "No Fly" list. Peter's wallet is in transitand he is trapped in a Subaru Imprezadawdling cross country with a chatty dopewho smokes dope ("Glaucoma." Yeah, right.)and who is headed to Peter's home, L.A., be-cause he thinks he can be an actor. On TV's"Two and a Half Men," no less.

The stupid stacks up with the stunning asthis Odd Couple endure wrecks, border cross-ings, visits to pot dealers (Juliette Lewis steals

her scene) and an irate war vet Western Unionclerk (Danny McBride). Dealing with theman-child Ethan should convince the hot-tem-pered Peter he's not ready yet for fatherhood,and dealing with blunt, sarcastic and menacingPeter should convince Ethan he's not ready forHollywood.

Not that we're going to have a lot of"growing" or "learning" here. The best eitherman can promise about his shortcomings is"I'm working on it."

This "Hangover Hits the Highway" bene-fits from what one can only assume is a lot ofriffing by the cast one-liners topping otherone-liners. Bit players Lewis and Jamie Foxxpitch in. Downey unloads "I despise who youare at a cellular level." And Galifianakismakes Ethan another poster man-child forHipster Doofus.

He quotes Ice Cube the rapper, not thefamily road trip movie actor he became"You'd better check yourself before you wreckyourself."

Todd Phillips' film takes a couple of senti-mental detours, and not every cameo pays offwith big laughs. Upping the ante at every stateline becomes a challenge that rivals explaininghow Mike Tyson's tiger got into that hotelsuite in "The Hangover."

But it's a streamlined movie, with just twovery funny actors carrying the laugh load. Gal-fianakis is every bit as nasty and gross as hewas in his breakthrough film with Phillips.And he's added a swishy side to his "Hang-over" bag of tricks. His performance andDowney's reaction to him combine for a "DueDate" comedy lovers won't want to miss.

‘Due Date’ creates comedic duo

The University of Ken-tucky will sign a Higher Edu-cation Agreement to licenseselected Adobe desktop soft-ware by Nov. 15.

All faculty and staff willbe authorized to use the lat-est versions of Adobe soft-ware such as Acrobat 9 Pro,Photoshop Elements andCurriculum and Certifica-tion Resources. The Univer-sity will now fund the up-grades of these products andUK departments no longerneed to purchase softwarelicenses.

The signing of the AdobeCampus Agreement will ben-efit the university faculty andstaff allowing them to use thesoftware from both depart-

mental computers and homecomputers for work-relatedpurposes. Adobe is alreadyhighly used in several col-leges such as the College ofDesign, Communications andFine Arts Colleges.

“These programs willbenefit work flow, sustain-ability and from a compli-ance standpoint,” PennyCox, IT associate vice presi-dent said. “Previously, de-partments would have tomake a group purchase andnow there will be one recordand will reduce administra-tion costs.”

All departments candownload the products onNov. 22 by going tohttps://download.uky.edu, acentralized server that willmanage distribution of the

software straight to the desk-top. Student labs and publiclibrary computers will alsoreceive access to the prod-ucts.

“The real benefit is sup-port for faculty to have thelatest technology for their stu-dents,” Cox said.

The UK IT CustomerService Center will be hold-ing an additional informationmeeting about the licensingagreement on Monday, Nov.15, from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.in the William T. Young audi-torium.

Some might find it difficult to packmore than $25,000 worth of equipmentinto a 6-by-2 foot area, but a team oncampus has been succeeding at thisevery year for more than a decade. The UK Wildcat Pulling Team designs anew one-fourth scale tractor every yearfrom the ground up to compete in the ¼Scale Tractor Student Design Competi-tion in Peoria, Ill. The tractors, which canbe described as “lawn tractors onsteroids,” by team members combine

Pulling to victory...

smart design with real utility to create a

small machine that can do big things.

“We are given an engine, a set of

wheels and a rule book,” Josh Jackson,

graduate adviser and 1/4 scale tractor

pit crewmen, said. “Conceptually, the

rest is left up to us.”

Over the years, the team has been

comprised of six to 20 UK students from

a variety of majors. While many are

agriculture or engineering majors, eco-

nomics and business majors also get

hooked on the thrill of creating a pow-

erful machine and testing its limits. The

UK team took its first tractor to

Peoria in 1999, at the competi-

tion’s second annual event.

Since then, each year has

brought more success. UK has

placed in the top five of more

than 30 schools since 2003, mak-

ing it one of the “powerhouses”

of tractor-building in this part of

the country, Jackson said.

“Illinois, Kansas and Purdue (uni-versities) are our main competition,”Jackson said. “Ohio State is good,too; they’re like our buddy team …we got each other’s backs, help eachother out.”

A huge chunk of the planningprocess is dedicated to nailing downthe exact plans it takes to build such amachine. With so many diverse indi-viduals, it’s often difficult to decideon what would work best. That’swhen the older, more experienced ad-visers step in, to settle planning dis-putes and offer feasible alternatives.

“The advisers keep us rational andmake us stick to hashing out what wewant to do,” Jackson said.

With only a few simple items tostart with, ¼ scale tractors can be-come almost anything. The main goalis to design something that will pull asteadily increasing weight in a consis-tent way during competition alongsideother tractors, but other aspects of thetractors are under scrutiny too.

Safety, ergonomics, affordability,braking, craftsmanship and appear-ance matter too. These areas leavemuch to be strategically considered inthe weekly meetings held by UK’steam.

“One year we had already arrivedat the competition and realized wehad gone over the weight limit, so wehad to saw these big holes in the sidesof the tractor,” Jackson said. “But noone knew that wasn’t part of our de-sign. Another school copied it thenext year … they thought it lookedgreat.”

With a new set of rules every year,the competition can get pretty interest-ing. Sometimes teams are permitted touse multiple engines, and sometimesthey have to use one. One year’sweight limit might exceed 800 pounds,while the next might be more restrict-ed. But UK’s team is all about bendingthe rules for the chance of a good win.

“We like to call them ‘UK rules,’but they’re really just rules that weremade because of a loophole wefound,” Jackson jokingly said. “I re-member one year we painted our en-gine UK blue, and the very next yearone of the rules was that you couldn’t

paint your engines.”Jackson became enticed with the

art of building ¼ scale tractors whenhe joined his older brother at a meet-ing in 2005, and now, as an oldermember, he has passed on this interestto his younger brother, a senior at UK.He said most people who commit tobuilding a tractor get hooked and findthemselves competing the followingyear.

Throughout the year, the UK teamworks to raise money for the buildingand transport of the new ¼ scale trac-tor. Tractors cost about $25,000 tobuild, test and transport to Peoria.Team members man a corn booth atthe Kentucky State fair, valet carsduring football games and run a lawnmower clinic, where members tune upmowers in the spring.

“I would say the mower clinicraises a lot of money because we usu-ally get over 400 mowers,” Jacksonsaid. “We do things like change sparkplugs, replace air filters and sharpenblades for a reasonable fee.”

The team also receives funds fromvarious sponsors. With most of thework done on campus by team mem-bers and other volunteers, a littlemoney is saved. The team could savemore money if it reused the tractorsfrom former years, but Jackson saidmembers don’t like to “cannibalize”the tractors. Instead, the old tractorsare kept for new members to learnfrom and compete with in later years.

The team grows into a sort of fam-ily, which can be proved by the manyinside jokes and famous quotes theteam has, Jackson said. Jacksonstressed the necessity of females tothe group, in particular, because askilled, light driver is always needed.

“We tried a female driver one yearbecause of a weight restraint, but shedid such a great job that we kept heras our driver for other competitions,”Jackson said.

UK Wildcat Pulling Team meet-ings are held every Wednesday at5:15 p.m. in the Charles E. BarnhartBuilding, and anyone can attend.

“We’d like to invite anyone who iswilling to get in there and help to getthe job done,” Jackson said.

The award-winning UK jazzensemble directed by MilesOsland will perform a free concertThursday at 7:30 p.m. in the Sin-gletary Center Recital Hall.

The jazz ensemble, which has18 members, includes five saxo-phones, five trombones, five trum-pets, piano, bass and drum players.The ensemble usually has five to10 performances throughout thesemester.

Thursday’s performance willdemonstrate musical variety witheverything from slow blues musicto funky and upbeat tempo music.

Kara Thomas, saxophone play-er and thee only female in the en-semble, said the concert will beone of her most intense, variantand challenging.

One of the pieces the ensem-

ble will perform is a numbercalled “Mama Llama Samba,”which is “a very difficult chart toplay,” says DMA student DieterRice.

Another arrangement will be“Miles Mix.” Arranged byOsland, the mix gives a glimpse ata game the ensemble plays whichinvolves listening to tunes fromthe 1950s through the 1990s andtrying to name them. The audi-ence will get to do the same onThursday.

In addition to the many con-certs the ensemble performsthroughout the year, they will begearing up for an exciting event.The ensemble will add two newplayers by the summer.

In July, the ensemble will em-bark on a 16-day tour performingoverseas in a series of festivals,one of which is the Montreux JazzFestival held in Montreux,

Switzerland. The festival is one ofthe most famous jazz festivals inthe world. Legends like MilesDavis, Ray Charles and Princehave all performed at the presti-gious festival.

“Over 1,000 applications aresubmitted, but only 6 percent areaccepted,” Osland said about thefestival.

Osland and the ensemble areno strangers to prestigious awardsand performances. According tothe UK School of Music’s web-site, DOWNBEAT magazine gavethe jazz studies department fourstar reviews, and five recordingshave been recommended forGrammy nominations.

It is hard to say if the music inThursday’s concert will be chosenfor the festivals, but attendees willhear UK’s jazz ensemble for freebefore the world does.

Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Safari: Ifyou're unhappy with Facebook's newsmall font size (or other annoyances),userscript Better Facebook (http://bet-terfacebook.net/) gives you over 75extra options with which you cantweak Facebook to your liking.

Every time Facebook redesignstheir home page, the entire Internetseems to erupt (usually unnecessarily)in anger. Recently, however, Face-book changed its default font size forthe news feed to a smaller font that issignificantly harder to read, and it's apretty legitimate complaint. Luckily,user script Better Facebook has youcovered with a new feature that al-lows you to force a certain font size.

We've mentioned other Facebook-

altering userscripts like F.B. Puritybefore, but if you're looking for some-thing to drastically change your Face-book experience, Better Facebookwill do it. It brings a new interfacefeaturing tabbed news feeds, extrasidebars, and a humungous optionspane to Facebook, from which youcan manually filter your news feed,hide read posts, highlight comments,see who's unfriended you and muchmuch more.

Note that while Better Facebookhas a bunch of neat options, it reallychanges how Facebook looks, andyou might not be happy with howdrastic it is (I know I personally was-n't). What's nice, though, is that as asimple userscript, you can uninstall itwith one click if you don't like it. Besure to root through the options,though, as you may be able to tone itdown more to your liking as well.

Better Facebook is a free down-load, works in Firefox, Chrome, Sa-fari and Opera.

"The American peoplespoke, and I think it's prettyclear that the Obama-Pelosiagenda is being rejected bythe American people,"Boehner said. "They wantthe president to changecourse."

Rep. Eric Cantor, R-Va.,who is expected to becomethe House's new majorityleader, said the party's focuswill be reviving the economy.

"The first order of busi-ness has got to be createjobs," he said.

But Cantor's office onWednesday circulated a 22-page working blueprint forthe new Congress in whichhe explicitly vowed to attackthe health care bill on every

front, describing it with thepejorative term "Oba-maCare."

As the two parties posi-tioned themselves in the newpolitical landscape, resultsfrom Tuesday's electionswere still coming in. Sen.Michael Bennet, D-Colo.,prevailed in a tight raceagainst Republican KenBuck, a tea party candidate.That means Republicanshave thus far picked up a to-tal of six Senate seats _ fourshort of the number neededto gain the majority.

Obama held his newsconference following anelection that found him onthe wrong side of a piece ofpolitical history. Less than adozen House races are stillundecided. But based on theresults as of Wednesday, theGOP pick-ups represent thelargest mid-term gain by ei-ther party since 1948.

Much as he insisted theelection was not a referen-dum on him, Obama cam-paigned as if his name was

on the ballot. He crisscrossedthe country for his party,painting Republicans as anincompetent, obstructionistand backward-looking forcein American politics. Nowhis agenda is where hehoped it would never be _ atleast partly in Republicanhands.

He offered conciliatorywords in his hour-long newsconference, hoping to bridgedifferences that widenedover the course of a toxiccampaign. Rather than put-ting forward an agenda re-flecting Democratic inter-ests, he said policy must bean amalgam of ideas em-braced by both parties.

"So I think what we'regoing to need to do, andwhat the American peoplewant, is for us to mix andmatch ideas, figure out thoseareas where we can agree on,move forward on those, dis-agree without being dis-agreeable on those areas thatwe can't agree on," Obamasaid.

the Express is to cater tostudent’s needs.

“The shuttles leave fromCommonwealth Stadium, andsince many students don’twant to take their luggageacross campus, the CATSbuses will take them out tothe stadium with their lug-

gage from their dorm or cam-pus apartment,” Tune said.“When they return to campusthe CATS buses will takethem back to their dorms.”

The program suggestsquicker travel times and rid-ers may bring one largepiece of luggage, one smallpiece of luggage and onecarry-on item.

“Deadline to purchasetickets is Nov. 10, and youcan purchase tickets now atthe Student Center TicketOffice, you can walk in, call

in, or go to their website.The deadline to purchaseWinter Break tickets is Dec.3,” Tune said.

Paige Recker said. “If it is af-ter dark I always have a goodguy friend walk me home. Ihave the UKPD number aswell as the number for UKbus service saved in my phoneso it’s always on hand.”

“I always walk with afriend in a populated or well-lit area on campus,” sopho-more Stephen Pompilio said.“If I know I’m going to be outlate I make sure to have afriend pick me up.”

Saylor has been withUKPD for 27 years, and fromyears of experience he knowsthe university community andhow it changes. He said thereisn’t an explanation for whatcaused the five robberieswithin a span of two weeks,but students should take thesame precautions to stay safethat they always have.

In the Oct. 24 Kernel article, “Fightbreaks out at Tolly Ho, five hospital-ized,” although only three comments

were posted onlineabout the article on the Kernel’s web-site (dozens of comments were postedon various other websites about the in-cident), all of the comments had some-thing to do with race — and two ofthem echoed the kinds of racist ideasthat are not only holding this universityback, but also the country.

Part of one comment said, “I dontknow if anyone noticed but in the tollyho video there is not a white personthere. And to these idiots from de-

troit…stay there if you can(t) controlyourselves and actually act like civi-lized human beings. Detroit is a craphole for a reason.” It’s not clear whatcaused the fight, and Tolly Ho refusedto comment to the Kernel on multipleoccasions so we cannot cite informa-tion, but it is unfair and racist to blamethe cause of the fight on what race thepeople involved were. Blaming an inci-dent like this simply on a physical traitis just a lazy and ignorant way to ad-dress a problem.

Also, UK and the city of Lexingtonhave been making efforts (like theWorld Equestrian Games) to bring newevents and new people to the city, andUK has been doing this in an attemptto bring more “diversity” to campus.Telling people from Detroit — or anyother city from another region for thatmatter — to “stay there” is not the kindof talk that will make people feel wel-come to Lexington.

No one should judge an entirecity’s (or race’s) population based offof the actions of a few people.

If UK students or Lexingtonians re-ally want to increase their diversity(which is necessary for a full educa-tion), comments or thoughts like theones made on the story are not the wayto accomplish this goal. The actions ofthose few people who caused the fightsdo not represent the large populationsof Detroit, Cleveland or Chicago.

Instead of making counterproduc-tive and unfair comments, people needto step back and ask themselves pro-ductive questions, and then create dia-logue about why anyone would evenfeel the need to make those racist com-ments in the first place — and then,they need to ask themselves what needsto be done to get rid of those angrythoughts.

Danny Trevathan is theUK football team’s version ofthe ‘Waterboy.’

“When I see somebodytake the ball, I think like theystole from me or somethingand I’m trying to get it back,”the junior linebacker said. “Ijust have an attack mentalitylike Bobby Boucher; all ofnegative stuff in my life, I tryto apply it to the field.”

Although Trevathan saidthat he doesn’t watch themovie with Adam Sandlerreprising the role of BobbyBoucher very much now thathe’s grown up, the Leesburg,Fla., native has also maturedinto a formidable defensiveforce.

Trevathan leads theSoutheastern Conference intackles with 97 and hasrecorded five straight gameswith double-digit tackles, in-cluding a career-high 17 ver-sus Auburn on Oct. 9.

His strong play is a con-tinuation of the recent legacyleft by former UK lineback-ers, who Trevathan said stillreach out to him to give himencouraging words and ad-vice.

Wesley Woodyard, nowwith the Denver Broncos, isone such former UK line-backer who Trevathan said hecommunicates with throughTwitter frequently. Last timeWoodyard was in Lexington,he told Trevathan that heneeded to be “that guy” whoset the tone defensively.

Keeping the tradition of

successful linebackers alive issomething Trevathan values.

“I don’t believe in lettingpeople down in any circum-stances,” he said.

In a season where the UKdefense has been malignedfor letting opponents score ontoo many big plays and fornot playing consistently forthe duration of an entiregame, Trevathan’s effortscan’t be faulted.

“He’s like a missile,” sen-ior defensive tackle RickyLumpkin said. “You see himout there, I see him out there,when he hits his hole andwhen he has a free shot hegoes in there and makes it.It’s very rare that you seetwo-two (a reference to Tre-vathan’s No. 22 jersey) miss atackle, two-two doesn’t misstackles.”

Even when wearing a castbecause of his broken lefthand sustained in the first halfversus Akron earlier in theyear, Trevathan wouldn’t lethis tackling ability be com-promised.

He took the cast off twoweeks ago against South Car-olina, which was two weeksearlier than he was supposed

to.“I was tired of being the

cast boy or the cast man,”said Trevathan, who alsosported a cast for much of lastseason, yet still led the Catsin tackles with 82.

Trevathan’s performancehas been even more rocksteady this year compared tolast because of consistencythat was partly born from thehelp of a Rock.

UK strength and condi-tioning coach Rock Oliverhelped Trevathan bulk up andbecome even quicker after arigorous conditioning pro-gram in the offseason.

“I’m probably in the bestshape of my life,” Trevathansaid. “Coach Rock did a goodjob of teaching me how towork my body, get the sore-ness out, stretch well, liftwell, lift correctly, stretch cor-rectly and all that stuff.”

UK head coach JokerPhillips said he has beenpleased with Trevathan’s playall season, but that

he still expects him to ele-vate the play of teammates.

“You want them to playwith his kind of fire, his kindof desire,” Phillips said.

Trevathan pointed to therecently improved play ofjunior linebacker RonnieSneed, who has 14 tackles inthe past two games, as ateammate who has taken no-tice of his play and decided toemulate it.

“I’m trying to teach peo-ple to not be just like me, butto be better than me,” Tre-vathan said.
