Bat Cats beat Canisius 12-4Full game coverage Online
The living is easy on thecorner of Columbia Avenueand Oldham Court.
Curiosity springs as peo-ple drive by examining theWildcat Market that openedFebruary 23.
It is a locally owned con-venient store located in themiddle of a heavily student-populated area.
“We want to make thisplace a UK tradition,” FrankBargo, co-owner of WildcatMarket, said.
A large, red screen door isleft open, allowing tunesfrom bands like Sublime, theSteve Miller Band and HankWilliams III to flow onto theporch.
The owners’ dogs, LowRider and Etta James, leisure-
ly await customers.“This is our own vision,”
Bargo said. “We aren’t tryingto be like anybody else.”
Unusual is key. An un-likely spot and rare productsallow students and the neigh-borhood to experience some-thing they can’t get at a cor-porately owned conveniencestore.
“I always feel sketchywhen going into big namedconvenient stores,” BrandonMyers, a forestry sophomore,said. “I don’t feel that here —it’s home.”
Ale-8-One returnable bot-tles have been some of Wild-cat Market’s best sellers thusfar, Bargo said. Candy-coatedespresso beans in flavors likeBailey’s Irish Cream and
Amaretto have also been suc-cessful.
Jewelry made by themother of co-owner BethWickstrom sits on the counteralong with homemade blue-berry pomegranate tea.
The market received itsbeer and liquor license Mon-day. This provided an oppor-tunity for the owners to seekout unique refreshments. Fly-ing Dog, Great Lakes andPurple Haze, as well as a re-laxation beverage calledLean, line the insides of vin-tage refrigerators.
“Ever since I was little Iwanted to be my own boss,”Bargo said. “When my par-ents asked me what I wantedto be when I grew up, I said,‘I want to own the world.’”
A picnic bench, lawnchairs and a stoop encouragecustomers not just to stop in,but to also hang out.
“You get to see peoplefrom the neighborhood, thereare awesome vibes and youfeel more than just a cus-tomer,” Michael Tierney, apolitical science senior, said.
Eight surveillance cam-eras line the store, and lightsbrim from the building.
“I feel safer now thatthere is something going on,”said Leigh White, a humannutrition senior. “The neigh-borhood feels more civilized,more comforting.”

New store opens in area near South Campus

Every year, many students take summer classes for amore relaxed course load or to earn some extra credits. Withsummer just around the corner, it’s time to weigh the prosand cons of taking classes during summer break.
Summer school offers two sessions. The first sessionruns from May 10 to June 7 and the second session is June 9to Aug. 4.
Patrick Walsh, a UK history junior, has never taken sum-mer classes but plans to take one class during each sessionthis summer. He is going to take pre-requisites so he cangraduate on time.
“I’d rather not take summer classes,” Walsh said, “but I’drather spend the money than stay an extra semester and notgraduate in May.”
Students currently taking classes at UK do not need toapply for summer school but should register for the summersessions while registering for the fall semester on MyUK.The last day to add a class for summer’s first session is May11, and the last day to add a class for the second session isJune 10, according to UK’s website.
Graduating senior Ryan Risner has taken summer classestwice so he can graduate as soon as possible. He said sum-mer classes are easier, but also noted that it is easier to fallbehind in class if one does not keep up with the daily work.
“I would recommend taking summer classes only if youhave the time to put in the required reading and studying,”Risner said. “It is basically a full class condensed into eitherfour or six weeks.”
The cost of summer credits was a con to taking classes,Risner said. Tuition for summer classes is charged on a percredit hour basis with course load caps at 12 credit hours forundergraduates, but financial aid is available for summerclasses. March 15 was the priority filing deadline for finan-cial aid. The online FAFSA application can still be complet-ed along with the university application for summer schoolaid, which is available in the student financial aid office.
The dorms will be open for those who wish to live oncampus. Housing applications must be filled out online and

Board of Trustees chairBritt Brockman told UKPublic Relations he feelsconfident the list of candi-dates will be narrowed tothree to five by April 11.
Brockman said the com-mittee hopes to have a final-ist chosen by May 1, a dead-line he has called “very am-bitious.”
Smith, however, said thepresidential search processis running on schedule.
“The process itself is go-ing really well,” Smith said.“It’s smooth. It’s obviouslytime-demanding, but it's go-ing smoothly. We’re onschedule, we're on track andeverything so far has goneaccording to plan.”
The release said thecommittee will interviewpreferred candidates Thurs-day afternoon. The list of fi-nalists to be selected at theApril 11 committee meetingwill go to the Board ofTrustees, who make the finaldecision.

Eight students from theUK interior design programgot down to business duringspring break.
Each of the students trav-eled to different cities acrossthe U.S. to shadow profes-sionals at prestigious designfirms. Some included PeaceDesigns of Atlanta, Ga., andPlanning Design Research ofHouston, Texas.
Although many peoplebelieve that interior designdeals strictly with aesthetics,it actually covers a muchbroader range of work. Manyaspects must be taken into ac-count when it comes to de-signing a space.
Studies show that humanstend to respond more favor-ably or unfavorably to a busi-ness depending on its design.
“The way you shape
space shapes behavior,” saidjunior Abby Rutherford, whotraveled to Nashville, Tenn.
The students worked onprojects that fell into both the
residential and commercialsectors of interior design,helping to build restaurants,hotels and other structures.Sophomore CaitlynKwiatkowski stayed in Lex-ington and worked on therenovation plans for the UKStudent Center.
While all participants
agreed that they felt preparedfor the work they were given,they still felt pressure to per-form tasks to the best of theirabilities. Businesses oftenface time, space and mone-tary restrictions, so it is im-portant to work quickly andconfidently.
“You have to be able toadapt and pick up thingsquickly,” said junior MelissaLong, who shadowed inWashington, D.C.
Most students found thatbosses did not hesitate to as-sign them tasks, all of whichwere expected to be complet-ed promptly and professional-ly. Although the experiencewas fun, it could still benerve-wracking at times.
“If anything goes wrong,it’s on you,” Kwiatkowskisaid.
For many, it was an affir-mation that they had chosenthe right career paths for
themselves. “It was great to be in an
actual firm doing real workand contributing,” said juniorRobin Lambert, who workedwith Planning Design Re-search.
Students were also satis-fied when they noticed thatthe designers were involvedin some of the same activitiesthat they hope to do.
“It was cool to see peopletraveling for work, because Iwant to travel with my jobone day,” Long said.
At a few of the firms, UKalumis held top positions,which made for exciting in-teraction. The students agreedthat seeing successful peoplewho came from the sameplace they are today was en-couraging.
Overall, students werepleased with their experiences

The Institute of Medicinerecently upended the healthapple cart with a new studythat says we don't need asmuch calcium or vitamin Das we've been told. In fact,taking the kind of megadosethat makes you feel virtuousand keeps the supplement in-dustry healthy can lead tokidney stones, with calcium,and kidney or heart damage,with D.
If that sounds alarmist, letme quote directly from the In-stitute of Medicine's state-ment, which says that “somesignals suggest there aregreater risks of death andchronic disease associatedwith long-term high vitaminD intake.”
Suddenly a distracted,contrarian noncompliant likeme no longer feels so guiltybecause I buy supplementsand forget to take them, orconsider gelato to be a per-fectly effective calcium deliv-ery system. After all theseyears of being chastised formy recalcitrance, I can feel,temporarily, like the smartestgirl in the room simply bycontinuing not to do what I'vealways not done.
Temporarily, because Ifully expect a new study tocontradict the findings beforeyou get to the end of this sen-tence. Substances go in andout of favor just like hem-lines, and in each case low-key consistency carries itsown occasional rewards: Idon't take now-suspect sup-plements, and I rarely strayfrom my little collection ofminimalist jackets, whose de-scendants happen to be pop-ping up this season in maga-zines all over town. Everynow and then I intersect withwhat's in by not budging andat the moment I seem to be at
the height of fashion on allfronts.
Supplements are only thefirst of three categories inwhich marketing or desireseems to outstrip verifiableproof. Hormone replacementtherapy is perhaps the bestexample of a miracle druggone south. My mother's gen-eration believed that Premarinwas the fountain of youth forpost-menopausal women. Acouple of decades and severalstudies later, the rap on hor-mone replacement therapy isdon't do it, and if you must,take the lowest dose possiblefor the shortest amount oftime.
And then there are drugswhose helpful reputation isstill intact, if you don't mindthe really scary news lurkingjust outside the halo's circum-ference. Bone-building drugsdo what they say they're go-ing to do, but while they're atit, they increase the risk ofesophageal cancer or maycause jawbone necrosis.Some of the drugs that com-bat gastrointestinal reflux dis-ease can increase your risk ofbone fracture. I know thatthese side effects are rare, andthat many people have nochoice because the immediatedanger outstrips everythingelse. Still, a breast cancer pa-tient I know once put statis-
tics in a sobering light: Whenyou're the 1 percent, she said,it's 100 percent of your life.
We like enhancement; welike preventives that don't re-quire us to change our ways;and we're disappointed whenToto pulls the curtain back togive us a glimpse of the littleguy who isn't really a wizard.The Institute of Medicine re-port undoubtedly will cause aspike in loudly stated en-dorsements of calcium, D andwho knows what else. Ichoose to remain on the side-lines, watching, waiting, nothoping for much in terms ofresolution, a wary eyebrowcocked. We are nowhere neardefinitive on what our bodiesneed, no matter what con-sumer advertising promises,but in the meantime there areproducts to be promoted andmoney to be made.
Still, the cost/benefit ratioof trend-chasing does not al-ways favor the consumer. Ifyou still have doubts, go tryon that blazer whosewingspan is as wide as youare tall, the one you've keptfor years because you figuredsomeday big padded shoul-ders would be cool again.Now look in the mirror andtell the truth: You look likethe wicked witch's sentries inOz. You got suckered by thesheer momentum of popularstyle.
Now apply the same dis-passionate scrutiny to allthose vitamins and pills wetake. For some people, med-ications are a lifeline. The restof us might be better off witha brisk walk around theblock, a piece of fresh fruitand a calcium-rich glass ofnonfat milk.

NEW ORLEANS — Un-til you've seen him up closeand personal, it's easy to un-derestimate BYU gunner Jim-mer Fredette. Florida's KennyBoynton learned that lessonlast year in a first-roundNCAA Tournament loss tothe Cougars.
Boynton did a decent job,holding Fredette to 23 pointsin 40 minutes, but Fredetteturned it up with 14 morepoints in two overtime peri-ods to pull out the win. “Yousee him on TV, and you'relike, ‘Why is he scoring somuch? I'm going to be theguy who stops him,’” Boyn-ton said Wednesday. “Then,you get in the game, and thesame thing happens to you.You've got to guard him inperson (to understand).”
Recalling the Gators' 99-92 loss to BYU last year,Boynton added, “You've gotto play the full game. He’snot going to stop. He attacksthe rim, he shoots deep shots,and he has a great midrangeshot. On the offensive end, hehas no weakness. I think thebest thing to do with him istry to make him take toughtwos and tire him out.”
The rematch of last year'sgame takes place in the semi-
finals of the Southeast Re-gional tonight at New OrleansArena. Boynton has beennursing a right ankle sprain,but after sitting out practiceon Tuesday, he practiced fullyyesterday and said he felt nopain.
In the two games BYU(32-4) played at the Denversubregional, Fredette had 32points against Wofford and 34against Gonzaga to raise hisseason scoring average to28.8 points. As a team, theCougars are averaging 81.6points, but Florida (28-7) hasimproved its defense sincelast season, holding oppo-nents to an average of 62.7points.
The key, Gators coachBilly Donovan said, is not tolose track of BYU's othershooters, such as JacksonEmery, Noah Hartsock andCharles Abouo. “Eightypoints a game would lead theSEC in scoring, and it’s be-cause of the other guysaround,” Donovan said. “Thepart that nobody talks about ishe’s a terrific passer.”
Boynton hopes to coverFredette one-on-one by pres-suring him high to prevent thelong-range threes he canmake. It’s better if the Gatorscan force Fredette to taketough two-point shots anddon’t double him too much so
they can defend his team-mates.
“In the media, all youhear is ‘Jimmer, Jimmer, Jim-mer,’ said Florida guard Erv-ing Walker, who played atChrist the King High School.“But they’ve got other goodplayers, Hartsock, Emery,they’ve got a good team. Youcan’t put all your eyes onJimmer and let those otherguys kill you. Coach has puta lot of emphasis on the otherguys so we won’t get caughtlooking at Jimmer. We’re notamazed by him. He’s a greatplayer, but we’ve got goodplayers and we’re ready toplay.”
BYU coach Dave Rosesaid that the first four minutesof each game over the pasttwo months usually tell thetale of how teams plan to de-fend Fredette and the screensthe Cougars set for him. “Ifthey’re going to come off thatball screen and trap him toget the ball out of his hands,we’ll have four offensiveplayers attacking three defen-sive players,” Rose said. “Ifthey’re going to go under-neath the screen, Jimmer isprobably going to get a cou-ple shots off.”
He can pull the trigger, allright.

“This has been more than what wewanted,” Bargo said. “The whole processhas been outstanding.”
Wildcat Market is open from 7 a.m. tomidnight, but times are still being final-ized.
In the upcoming weeks, the ownerswant to have local musicians play on thefront porch, but the biggest goal for thestore is to serve hot and cold food andeventually deliver to South Campus andthe surrounding neighborhood.

Video games are part of amassive industry that is al-ways moving forward. Assuch, the big stores likeGameStop and Best Buy typi-cally only sell the latest andgreatest games.
What’s are college studentswho want to relive their earliervideo game memories to do?
Thankfully, three stores inLexington have a retro focusthat can answer this question.
Game King, a four-storefranchise founded in Ken-tucky, opened last year in theEastland Shopping Mall offWinchester Road. The entireright side of the store is linedwith retro games from “Atari2600” to “Sega Genesis.”
Matt Mooningham, Lexing-ton’s Game King manager,said the strength of GameKing is that “anybody who isa gamer will find something.”
He’s probably not exagger-ating as virtually every con-sole is represented from theold to the new, including thepopular and the obscure.
Mooningham said GameKing’s focus is on presenta-tion. The store cleans and re-pairs all consoles and games itreceives so that they appearpresentable and look like new.
He went on to say GameKing’s selection of retro gamesis “unmatched.” If the storedoesn’t have what a customerwants, they will find it for him
or her, Mooningham said.
What’s the rarest game orconsole Game King sells?Mooningham displayed acopy of “Earthbound” in itsoriginal box with game guidefor $495.
Another recent addition toLexington is Disc Replay. Lo-cated on West Tiverton Wayoff Nicholasville Road, DiscReplay deals in just aboutevery form of used media.
Like Game King, Disc Re-play’s entire right side of thestore displays an extensive se-lection of retro games and con-soles.
Disc Replay employeesAaron Powell and Matt Bakersaid the best thing about thestore is the community it fos-ters.
“We have regulars,” Bakersaid. “We know our cus-tomers. Our customers give usour inventory.”
When asked what the rarestitem Disc Replay has, Powelland Baker pointed to a Turbo-Grafx-16 and Panasonic 3DO.
3D Games, located inFayette Mall, may have thesmallest facility out of thethree, but it has no less heart.There are cases full of retrogames for potential buyers tobrowse through, as well asdemo units of retro consoleson the store floor for anybodyto pick up and try.
3D Games employee and
UK history senior TommyStuart said while 3D Gamesmay not have the selection orsize of other stores, it has oneattriubute that sets it apart:
“Our location in the mallmakes us unique,” Stuart said.
Stuart said 3D Games ismoving from the new gamesmarket into the quality usedmarket, which means that it isnow cleaning and refurbishingall used games and consolesbrought in to the store.
Stuart was also quick topoint out that he is proud of thestaff at 3D Games. He said allthe employees are knowledge-able in a certain genre or fieldof gaming so that they can bet-ter serve their customers.
Stuart said copies of “Virtu-al Boy” and “MagnavoxOdyssey” still in their boxesare the most rare items 3DGames has, though theseitems are not for sale.
While these three stores arecompeting against each other,they seem to have an amicablerelationship. Every employeemade mention of loving theother stores and sending cus-tomers to their competitors ifthey did not have a specificgame in stock.
There may be three retrogame stores in Lexington, butthey all serve a purpose in thecommunity and to each other.It’s all about the love of thegame and preserving that lovefor old and new fans alike.

ESPN analyst Jay Bilasheld a teleconference to givehis thoughts on the NCAA
Tournament,which ofcourse in-cludes UKand OhioState. Hethinks OhioState is thefavorite notonly in thisgame, but to
win the title. Here are some ofhis thoughts:
“Ohio State is the better ofthe two teams, becausethey’re a lot older. Andthey’re really balanced. Hav-ing that kind of experienceand the talent they have is aterrific combination. Ken-tucky has talent, but it’s inex-perienced talent.”
On the matchup problems
freshman center JaredSullinger creates for de-fense:
A. “If he gets a foot in thelane, he’ll score or get fouled,or both. I think you only goon Sullinger once he puts iton the deck. But once hedoes, he’s usually in a movepretty quick. You have topush him out a little bit, catchit off the block.”
On the potential strategy ofdoubling down on Sullinger:
A. “If you’re going to dou-ble on Sullinger, you willgive up open shots.”
On who UK could possiblyleave to help on Sullinger:
A. “Certain shooters youhave to stay with. Diebler is ano-leave guy. You have to findhim and not leave him. Can-not (take a player) off of him.Lots of teams have doubled
off (Aaron) Craft. But youhave to mix it up.”
Speaking of Craft, the fresh-man point guard:
A. “Aaron Craft is beyondhis years. I haven’t seen aguard put better pressure onthe ball than he does and be abetter defender.”
On Ohio State’s short buttalented rotation:
A. “They’re not deep, butthey can go deep with (Dal-las) Lauderdale, or they cango small and bring DeshaunThomas off the bench. He’shad 22 in a big game. Reallygood seven-man roster.”
On Josh Harrellson:
A. “Underrated. Had a real-ly good year. Had a reallygood job on the glass. Beenreally impressed by secondand third effort on the glass.Finishes plays and takes ad-vantage of plays.”

Ohio State’s Aaron Craft drives to the basketagainst Michigan at the Value City Arena inColumbus, Ohio, on Feb. 3.
UK isn’t the only team with a cere-bral, high-IQ freshman point guard run-ning its team. It’s Sweet 16 opponenthas one of its own.
Aaron Craft, who comes off thebench but plays 29.3 minutes per gameas the de facto starter, earns as muchpraise for his mind andplay as Brandon Knight.Ohio State head coachThad Matta said Craft,who had a 4.2 GPA anda 32 ACT score comingout of high school,wants to be a doctor orsurgeon.
For now, he’s slicingup defenses. He dishedout 15 assists in OhioState’s drubbing ofGeorge Mason.
“His mind is incred-ible for as young as heis, the things he’s able tosee,” Matta said. “He’sone of the best I’ve hadin terms of that.”
Craft was able tocome in and graspOSU’s system quickly,and hasn’t stopped im-proving. In his last ninegames, Craft has 53 as-sists to only 11turnovers, a ratio that in-dicates he is running theteam well.
“He’s done a tremen-dous job of coming in, studying thesystem and getting a feel for his team-mates,” Matta said.
But Craft is not just looking at thegame from a point guard’s perspective.
Matta said he knew the system fromevery position.
“We put him at the three (positionin practice) one day,” Matta said. “Isaid, ‘Do you know the set?’ He said,‘Yeah. I know exactly what to do.’”
Craft will most likely be guardingKnight, looking to shut down UK’sleading scorer.
“Aaron Craft is beyond his years,”ESPN analyst Jay Bilas
said in a teleconference.“I haven’t seen a guardput better pressure onthe ball than he does.”
The comparisons be-tween Craft and Knightseem endless. Lastnames that induce con-stant puns. Intelligentand capable of runningtheir teams. Hard work-ers. Their own toughestcritics.
“The thing I loveabout Aaron is he’s ashard on himself as anykid I’ve ever coached,”Matta said.
Sounds similar toCalipari saying Knighthad the best work ethicof anyone he’s evercoached.
One difference iswhile Craft can focus onrunning the team (heonly attempts 11 percentof the team’s shots dur-ing his time on thefloor), UK relies heavily
on Knight to score. Knight leads UKwith 17.4 points per game.
“Brandon looks to score a lotmore,” Matta said. “From that perspec-tive, he is more of a scoring pointguard.”

As shown, Wall scored alot more in transition, a testa-ment to both his and theteam’s ability to run the floorand get to the rim.
Knight’s game is moreversatile and well-rounded(and no less effective; Knight
needs seven points to tie Wallfor most points by a UKfreshman in a season). Hescores more off screens, handoffs, and pick and rolls,which head coach John Cali-pari has talked about in-stalling to fit Knight’s gamesince the beginning of theyear.

Well, you could say my spring break2011 memory is a bit different.
I went with a group to do communityservice in Washington, D.C., and surround-ing areas.
On the whole, that in and of itself wasmemorable — there’s no denying that. Butthe hassle associated with gaining access tothe historical monuments and museums onour touring days was something I will notsoon forget.
Take the U.S. Senate session, for in-stance. It’s not enough to go through security, a metal detec-tor, another security desk to drop off all larger-than-a-bread-basket bags, turn in all electronic devices and cameras, and
then go through one more security and metal detector checkpoint.
Once my group finally got through to the oh-so-familiarSenate session room (thank you, CSPAN), we found it practi-cally empty.
The only ones present were three interns who poured wa-ter for 20 minutes and, assumably, the stand-in pro tempore(apparently Joe Biden had other duties to attend to that day,and this man was clearly not Sen. Daniel K. Inouye) and min-utes secretaries. I went through all that security and didn’t getto see a single senator.
Docents even reprimanded visitors if they looked at alllike they were about to fall asleep. I guess former West Vir-ginia Sen. Robert Byrd’s dozing episodes were more discreetthan I thought.
On St. Patrick’s Day, some of my other group memberswho wanted to visit Capitol Hill had to bypass the area be-cause President Obama was meeting with the Irish ambassa-dor.
Apparently they were convening about Ireland’s eco-nomic woes, a delayed mirroring of what the U.S. went
through recently … but I still say St. Patrick’s Day was alltoo convenient.
In addition to the security provided by guards in the al-ready heavily-fortified area — seriously, there were securityguards with hefty guns on every corner of the U.S. Capitolbuilding and surrounding proximities — my group was toldthey had to go well out of their way and delay their Senatetrip.
I suppose that’s the trouble with visiting a tourist attrac-tion where major government business commences: Even ifyou are indubitably sure that you want to go to a particularD.C. attraction, security will try to convince you otherwise.
Sure, you’re welcome to see first-hand how government“does its thing,” but I hope you’re not offended by securityguards fondling your purse/bag contents and aren't overly at-tached to that $4 bottle of water you just purchased.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved visiting the nation’s capitalduring spring break. But the security will probably be thething that I will remember most.

In the midst of world crises, man-madeand natural disasters — I’ve been thinking alot about tragedy and what it inspires.
Even in its depth,hope, love and together-ness can be created andfelt.
A lot of times, it’shard to cope with whybad things happen togood people. I find thatwhen I make that my fo-cus, I can become over-whelmed and even help-less.
These past fewmonths have been aneye-opener. I have seenthe most vile actions ofpeople hurting people, of
families losing loved ones, homes beingcrushed and carried away. The media por-trays everything vividly, whether it be thenews or second to second updates on Twit-ter. It is easy to know everything or to knownothing, if you choose to.
It is easy to only see the negative. Butlet's not forget to see the good. The mas-sacre in Libya is crushing, yes. I will noteven claim to know what it is like.
But I can tell you what I do see and feelfrom an outside persepctive — I see somany people rising up to the occasion andgiving their lives selflessly for freedom oftheir families and country.
I see them mourn lost lives and celebrat-ing the possibility of new lives coming into
a free world. I see Libyans in America banding to-
gether with a common cause and givingevery inch of what they have to contribute,make aware and save lives. I feel love andcompassion emanating from their souls andinspiring all those around them.
At times I have felt guilt, that I couldnot do more and be more: that I don't spendall my time thinking and praying for others,and instead focus on myself or my work.
But that guilt serves no purpose. Not forme or for anyone else, especially those de-pending on me to be present for them.
Instead, I try my best to live a humbleand grateful life, because I can. I try toswallow a complaint that can so easily slipoff my tongue and remember to be thankful.
I can post articles, converse with others,donate and offer support. But in momentswhere I am not doing that, the least I can dois make the most of what I am given in life.
It is hard when someone tells you“things could be worse,” and that is not themessage I intend to send.
I am merely offering a perspective thattragedy does not always mean the end ofthings, but can lead way to a revolution, to alight at the end of the tunnel. And along theway to that revolution, resilient, beautiful,and strong people are born.
As Oscar Wilde once said: “Behindevery exquisite thing that existed, there wassomething tragic.”

Positivity in the aftermathof tragedy offers wayto cope with sadness
Forget about saving the daylight! Savemy sanity!
One night this past week 1:59 a.m. hap-pened and then in less than the tick of aTimex — it was 3:00 o’clock.
Imagine my confusion! What’s going on!I am already a man who suffers from anom-alous sleep patterns.
Prone to vampire time (an inversion ofnight wakefulness and day drowsiness), Ifind myself befuddled twice a year, whenthe societal consensus springs us forwardand then falls us back.
Spring forward — fall back. It sounds solight, airy and cheerful — doesn’t it? I findit dreadful!
I slept fitfully last night because I knewI was being tricked. What an incredible in-sult to the finely tuned, delicate mainspringsof my circadian rhythms!
I suppose I could just stay with my ownconsistent solipsistic time all year long. Butthis would create an entirely different set ofproblems.
I truly would be taking “the path lesstraveled,” “marching to a different drum-mer.”
Even though I already find myselfslightly out of phase; under my plan, I
would be an hour early or late for every-thing the rest of the year (Come to think ofit that might not be a bad thing)!
Daylight Saving Time — argh! It takesme days to recover from this weird temporalwhiplash.
I’ve spent the whole day confused; won-dering what time it truly was. I lookedeverywhere for that missing hour, but it wasnowhere to be found.
Tinkering with space and time — truly,it’s best left to qualified individuals: such asphysicists and astronomers.
Even so, this oddity of the space-timecontinuum is not a function of NewtonianPhysics or some arcane consequence of Ein-stein’s Theory of Relativity.
My missing hour just didn’t fall into aBlack Hole; rather it is another curious ex-ample of our tax dollars at work.
Daylights Savings Time has been or-dained by your friendly, neighborhood feder-al government. Yep! Once again, the UnitedStates Congress is meddling in our personallives.
In the meantime, I suppose I will have towait until October to find my missing hour.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Can you imagine a world with morebirthdays? A world where cancer is scarce?The American Cancer Society does and asthe chair of this year’s Relay For Life ofKentucky, so do I.
For nearly a century, the American Can-cer Society has fought for every birthdaythreatened by every cancer in every commu-nity … and we couldn’t do it without you.
For those who participate in Relay ForLife, spending a night walking around atrack is a unique avenue to raise awarenessabout cancer.
The purpose of the event is to representthat cancer doesn’t sleep. It also representsthe conscious effort — day or night — thatfamily and friends are right alongside them,every step of the way through their personaljourney facing cancer.
Relay For Life is the largest fundraiserworldwide and is a huge part of what makesthe American Cancer Society successful. Itis made up of teams from student organiza-tions, Greeks, residence halls, etc. that raisemoney through efforts such as car washes,bake sales, fish-frys, etc. All of this money
that is raised goes towards the Society’smission … saving lives.
There are many people who we’d like tothank for their support and extreme hardwork. Thank you first and foremost to all ofour cancer survivors and their caregivers.You make us very proud! Thank you to oursponsors, our teams, the University of Ken-tucky, and any others that are a part of Re-lay For Life that we didn’t mention. Andlastly, thank you to our Relay For Life Com-mittee for your tireless devotion!
If you’ve never been to Relay For Life,it may change you forever. The theme of ourRelay For Life this year is Superheroes.
We ask that each team decorate theircampsite in accordance with the theme. Wewill have plenty of entertainment, games,food and many, many more things to enjoy.So come help us save lives and create morebirthdays!
We urge you to come join us on April 16starting at 7 p.m. at Pieratt Field. Let’s Re-lay!

Chicken fingers, french fries and Texastoast: sounds delicious, but in fact, at somerestaurants, this is the only thing on the
menu. But, there’s some-
thing missing — color.If your plate of food isall one color, then there’sa good chance that youare missing a few nutri-ents.
March is NationalNutrition Month and thetheme this year is “Eatwith Color.”
It’s a good reminderto eat your fruit and veg-gies.
Try to eat from thefive color groups — green, yellow/orange,purple/blue, red and white/tan/brown.
Not only will you get more vitamins,minerals and fiber, but you might lose a fewpounds from opting for these lower caloriechoices.
Fruits and vegetables do not need to befresh to be healthy. Frozen, canned, anddried fruits and vegetables all still count to-wards the food groups in the good ol’ foodguide pyramid.
Add some diced apple to your oatmealor banana to your bowl of cereal, top pizzawith vegetables, add some lettuce and toma-to to a sandwich, or just order a veggiesandwich. Enjoy some dried fruit or carrotsticks as a healthy snack, add diced pepperto macaroni and cheese. Sprinkle somesweetener on strawberries for a sweet treat.
Let color be your guide for more nutri-tious meals.
Jill Kindy is the health education coordi-nator for UK. Email [email protected].
Ideas to get you eating healthy and
colorfully• Green: Apples, grapes, honey-dew, avocado, artichoke, as-paragus, broccoli, green beans,green peppers, spinach• Yellow/Orange: Apricot, can-taloupe, grapefruit, mango, pa-paya, peach, pineapple, carrots,yellow pepper, corn, sweet po-tatoes• Purple/Blue: Blackberries,blueberries, plums, raisins, egg-plant, purple cabbage• Red: Cherries, cranberries,pomegranate, red/pink grape-fruit, red grapes, watermelon,beets, red onions, red peppers,red potatoes, rhubarb, tomatoes• White/Tan/Brown: Banana,pears, dates, white peaches,cauliflower, mushrooms, onions,potatoes

The beauty of the NCAASweet 16 is how it captures thediversity of college basketballfrom the brand-name programsin the East Regional to the in-dividual brilliance of KembaWalker in the West and JimmerFredette in the Southeast to themystery guests in the South-west, where three double-digitseeds are alive. Here is a break-down:
EAST REGIONAL
Best story line: Kentuckyhad five players, including fourfreshmen, leave as first-roundNBA draft picks, but coachJohn Calipari has reloaded withthree freshmen scorers in Bran-don Knight, Terrence Jones andDoron Lamb and has anothergreat recruiting class in thepipeline.
Key player: Ohio Stateguard Jon Diebler has hit 50percent of his three-point shotsthis season to lead an outstand-ing perimeter attack that helpsrelieve the pressure inside oncenter Jared Sullinger, whowas named national freshmanof the year.
Favorite: Ohio State isranked No. 1 in the tournamentfield and seems to have thebest inside-outside combina-tion of any team in the country.
Dark horse: North Caroli-na has flown under the radarbut topped Duke to win theACC regular-season title, hasgone 21-3 after a 7-4 start andgets 11th-seeded Marquette inregional semis.
Prediction: Ohio State hasthe best freshman in the fieldand far more experience than
Kentucky and Carolina.
WEST REGIONAL
Best story line: Connecti-cut became the first collegeteam to win five games in fivedays to win its conference tour-nament, but instead of runningout of gas, Walker is pickingup momentum with time to restin the NCAAs.
Key player: Duke fresh-man point guard Kyrie Irvingwas sensational in his firsteight games before injuring histoe. How well Duke adjusts tohis return will determine itsability to defend the national ti-tle.
Favorite: Duke returnssenior leaders Nolan Smith andKyle Singler and has a tower-ing frontcourt that will botherArizona's Derrick Williams insemis.
Dark horse: UConn wasonly 9-9 in Big East play, but ithas been rolling behind Walkeragainst far tougher oppositionthan second-seeded San DiegoState.
Prediction: Connecticutcoach Jim Calhoun has beatenDuke's Mike Krzyzewski insome memorable showdownsand is positioned for the upset.
SOUTHWEST
Best story line: This re-gional is Kansas and the threenumerically challenged seeds:No. 10 Florida State, No. 11Virginia Commonwealth andNo. 12 Richmond, and the lasttwo come from the same city.
Key player: In this case,its key co-players for Kansas,who will rely on the leadershipof twin forwards Marcus andMarkieff Morris to get the Jay-
hawks past their history oftournament inconsistency.
Favorite: Kansas hastremendous depth with fresh-man guard Josh Selby andsophomore forward ThomasRobinson, who would bestarters on most teams.
Dark horse: VCU was crit-icized as undeserving of anNCAA bid but has won threegames, starting in the First Four,by an average of 16.7 points.
Prediction: Kansas wasknocked out last season byNorthern Iowa, and the prospectof another underachieving em-barrassment should keep theJayhawks focused.
SOUTHEAST
Best story line: There are acouple, but the growing cultstatus of national scoringleader Fredette of BYU trumpsthe return of last year's runner-up Butler because Fredette'suncanny shotmaking has to beseen to be believed.
Key player: Wisconsinpoint guard Jordan Taylormight be the best player younever heard of in the field. Heaveraged 18.0 points for theseason, topped the Big Tenwith a 20.1 conference averageand leads the nation with a4.18 assist/turnover ratio.
Dark horse: The fourth-seeded Badgers scored only 33points in a loss to Penn State inthe Big Ten Tournament, buttheir defense is fourth in thenation and their free-throwshooting is first.
Prediction: BYU faces arematch of last year's first-round double-OT win overFlorida, but Fredette is revivingLouisiana memories of PistolPete Maravich.
Sizing up the Sweet 16 By Greg Logan

A free lecture featuringC. L. Lindsay III, author of“The College Student’sGuide to the Law,” washosted by the Student Ac-tivities Board on Wednes-day night in the WorshamTheater.
Around 100 peopleshowed up to hear Lind-say speak on the subjectof getting into trouble on-line through Facebookand other technologicalmeans.
Lindsay is an attorneyand founder of the Coali-tion for Student and Aca-demic Rights. CO-STARis an organization that pro-vides free legal services tocollege students and pro-fessors across the country.
“All we do is we helpcollege students and col-lege professors for freewith their legal problems,”Lindsay said. “We haveabout 500 attorneys na-tionwide that provide theirhelp to us and we getabout 5,000 requests ayear.
“I love doing these(lectures), because it helpskeep you guys out of trou-ble now rather than put thefires out after.”
Using pre-posed pic-tures of action figures todemonstrate the manyways in which students getthemselves into these typesof troubles, Lindsay’s lec-
ture mainly focused onhow putting pictures ofyourself online doing mali-cious acts can lead to un-wanted consequences inreal life.
“If you wouldn’t dosomething offline, don’t doit online,” Lindsay said. “Itworks with a million dif-ferent things and exam-ples; the easiest one isemail. You know if youwere to walk up to some-one and say something badto their face, it’s also a re-ally bad sentiment to putthat same thing in anemail.”
Lindsay used manyreal-life comedic picturesthat actual UK studentshad taken of themselvesperforming acts like bong-ing beers in their dormrooms, playing beer pongat parties and passing outin bathrooms on springbreak.
“I totally get this,”Lindsay said. “I totally getthe urge to drink beer andparty and have fun. Thatsaid, how many of youguys would print out10,000 copies of that pic-
ture and put them all overcampus? Probably none ofyou.
“When you put a pic-ture up on Facebook, on ablog or anywhere online,you risk putting out an in-finite number of copies ofthat picture and puttingthem all over the world.”
A lot of real-worldhorror stories were ex-plained in detail concern-ing teenagers and youngadults who had brokensome type of law onlineand then faced harsh con-sequences when their of-fenses were brought tolight off the Internet.
Lindsay gave sometips to help students pro-tect themselves includingnot taking and postinglaw-breaking pictures, notstanding out as a target forsexual predators in profilepictures, watching oneselfwhen taking pictures ofanywhere near where onelives, and always keepingaccount privacy functionson the highest settings.
“It was interesting,”anthropology and art histo-ry major Justin Sumnersaid. “I learned a lot that Ididn’t know about with thelaws and stuff, and I knewthat Facebook hadchanged their privacy pro-file settings, but I didn’tknow they were changingthem that often because Idon’t usually check.”
The organization canbe contacted through itswebsite at CO-STAR.org.
Lecture stresses usingcaution on the Internet
By Lee Durstock
“If you wouldn’tdo something offline,don’t do it online.”
C. L. LINDSAYFounder of CO-STAR
Elizabeth Taylor was thelast movie star. Perhaps ourgreatest.
She was an OK actress.But, of course, there are plen-ty of great actors who neverbecome genuine stars.
Taylor, who died Wednes-day at 79 of congestive heartfailure, was to the boomergeneration the epitome ofHollywood glamour, sexualadventurousness and rampantfame.
In an era when main-stream news rarely stooped tocelebrity gossip, Taylor's ro-mantic exploits got front-page coverage.
She was the real deal —the godmother of paparazziculture, the face thatlaunched a thousand tabloids,the poster girl of sultriness.And she had violet eyes todie for.
This was the woman whostole singer Eddie Fisherfrom Debbie Reynolds, thendumped him to carry on withher “Cleopatra” co-starRichard Burton. Her romanticups and downs were obses-sively scrutinized and com-mented on.
As were her health prob-lems. Not just the pounds thatcame and went in later life,but also repeated life-threat-ening crises, more than 20surgeries and a long addictionto pills and alcohol.
During the peak of herstardom, Taylor vied withQueen Elizabeth and MarilynMonroe for the title of themost recognized woman inthe world.
Her films helped fuel thatfascination, but ... of her 52theatrical releases, only ahandful are worth watchingtoday.
Her reputation as a beautycapable of driving men mad
began in 1951 with “A Placein the Sun.” She played therich girl whom lovestruckMontgomery Clift literallydies for, and it's fair to saythat any man who watchesthe film feels the same way. Itwasn't that Taylor was play-ing a sexual femme fatale.Her character was genuinelynice. But the actress was justso beautiful it hurt to look ather.
She stretched her chopsby chronicling one woman'slong life in “Giant” (1956)and two years later was sim-ply sizzling as the predatoryMaggie the Cat in “Cat on aHot Tin Roof.”
Her first Oscar-winningperformance came in 1960 asa call girl in “Butterfield 8.”Her second Academy Awardwas as the blowsy, bitter,middle-aged Martha in MikeNichols' adaptation of“Who's Afraid of VirginiaWoolf?” (1966).
Her bad movies includeher most famous, “Cleopatra”(1963). During production ofthat spectacle, she nearly suc-
cumbed topneumoniaand began arelationshipwith RichardBurton thatwould createa scandalu n e q u a l e duntil the Bill
Clinton/Monica Lewinsky af-fair.
What's curious about allthis is that Taylor's most last-ing relationships were appar-ently asexual. Among herclosest confidants were RockHudson, Clift and MichaelJackson. None of her eightmarriages, of course, lasted,though friends describe herhusband Michael Todd, thefilm producer who died in a1958 plane crash, as the loveof her life.
Taylor seems never tohave consciously cultivatedfame. Under the old studiosystem our adoration of ac-tors was massaged by anarmy of publicists. Taylor'sred-hot celebrity renderedthis system moot. The pub-lic's desperate need for infor-mation about her spawned anindustry of celebrity muck-raking that endures.
Perhaps her post-movielife was best defined by herdevotion to gay rights andthe fight against AIDS, whichshe embraced after Hudson's1985 death from the disease.At a time when much of Hol-lywood was circumspect onthe subject, Taylor spoke out.For that she received a specialOscar, the Jean Hersholt Hu-manitarian Award, in 1993.
