Students, faculty andcommunity members wel-comed former comptrollergeneral of the United Statesand head of the GovernmentAccountability Office(GAO), David Walker, toUK Wednesday in theRecital Hall of the Single-tary Center for the Arts forhis speech on fiscal respon-sibility.

The program entitled,“The US Fiscal Cliff andWhat it Means to Your Fu-ture,” was hosted by theKentucky Business Round-table and the Martin Schoolof Public Policy and Admin-istration.

The televised programbegan with Walker’s presen-tation of statistics and facts,observing the fiscal trendfrom the 1912 expansion ofthe government to today’sloss of control of the budget.

Walker’s presentationpointed out the decline ofthe dollar’s value.

“The dollar is not asgood as gold any more,”Walker said. “Expenses goup and revenue goes downand that’s a double wham-my.”

Walker said as the gov-ernment got bigger they lostcontrol of the budget andless money was spent onseniors and young people.

“We should do a betterjob of understanding whatthe fiscal cliff is. We need toeducate ourselves becausewith all of the debt piling upit will fall on us.” 3rd yearPh.D. student of Public Poli-cy and Administration PeteJones said.

Walker is Founder andCEO of the ComebackAmerica Initiative to pro-mote fiscal responsibilityand sustainability by engag-ing the public to achieve so-lutions to America’s federal,state and local fiscal issues.

“The United States Fed-eral Government has growntoo big, spent too much andwaited too long to restruc-ture, but it’s not too late,”Walker said.

Walker served ten yearsas the chief auditor for thefederal government andwarns against falling into thefiscal abyss as a result of taxcuts and increased spending.

During the panel discus-sion involving Walker, BradCowgill, Chair of the MartinSchool Board of Visitors andCharlie Owen, Chair of theKentucky Business Round-table, fiscal questions werediscussed in depth.

Owen mentioned howimportant it is for students tounderstand the gravity ofAmerica’s financial situa-tion.

“We are beginning to re-form our nation’s most seri-ous challenges, and studentsare going to be the most af-fected by it,” Owen said.

Those in attendence hadthe opportunity to ask Walk-er questions regarding topicssuch as possible solutions tothe fiscal crisis.

Kentucky is ranked asthe 46th most owing , Walk-er said.

“You can’t grow yourway out of debt. The longeryou wait, the greater the riskof a debt crisis,” said Walk-er.

A UK researcher is re-ceiving nationwide attentionfor his study on the effects oflifelong bilingualism on therisk of Alzheimer’s.

Brian Gold, a cognitiveneuroscientist in the depart-

ment of Anatomy and Neuro-biology affiliated with theSanders-Brown Center onAging and a team of re-searchers found bilingualismcan reduce the risk ofAlzheimer’s later in life.

“There is evidence thatbeing bilingual from an earlyage affects cognitive con-

trol,” Gold said. “As you getolder the ability to switch be-tween tasks declines, butthere is evidence that bilin-gual people don’t decline asmuch.”

Gold’s study has beencovered by news programsof ABC and NBC as well asbeing featured in reports by

Fox News and the TodayShow.

So far, the study has onlyfound evidence that peoplewho have been bilingualsince early childhood andwho use both languageseveryday reap the cognitivebenefit, Gold said.

When asked if people

who pick up a second lan-guage during adulthoodwould lower their risks ofAlzheimer’s, Gold said theanswer was unclear.

“If you keep it up itmight, it’s really unknown,”Gold said. “It won’t hurt.”

There is a new rivalrycooking in the SEC pot.

The chefs: head coachesMatthew Mitchell and DawnStaley. The main ingredients:their teams, No. 4/5 UKHoops (18-1, 6-0 SEC) andNo. 18 South Carolina (16-3,4-2 SEC).

“I think that this is reallybecoming one of the mosthotly contested rivalries inour conference,” Mitchellsaid. “We play South Caroli-na two times every year andas you go back and reviewthe history of these gamesover the past five or six years,it’s two teams that really, real-ly play hard and get aftereach other.”

The teams match up liketwo heavyweights, punch forpunch. Both have beenknown for their guard playand tight defense, and thatcontinues to be true this sea-son. Playing each other twiceper year has familiarized thetwo opponents.

“It appears that the play-ers have great respect foreach other and play real hardand compete really hard,”Mitchell said.

One player South Caroli-na will recognize is UK sen-ior guard A’dia Mathies. TheSEC veteran has been on firelately, scoring a combined 45points in the Cats’ last twogames. Even more impres-sive, she shot 60 percent fromthe field and 72.7 percentfrom three-point range during

that stretch, stats that helpedher get SEC Player of theWeek honors.

Mathies doesn’t under es-timate South Carolina, how-ever.

“Every year we playthem, I know they have greatguard play. They remind us alot of ourselves,” Mathiessaid. “They’re very quick.They’ve got good post play-ers, good rebounders. They’rean overall good team and agreat coach.”

The two teams will pittheir strong defenses againsteach other.

LOS ANGELES — April may be a littleless cruel this year for “Mad Men” fans as thehighly acclaimed period drama is set to returnfor its sixth season Sunday, April 7.

Creator and executive producer Matt Wein-er made the announcement to a handful of jour-nalists Tuesday afternoon, with the informationembargoed until Wednesday morning.

Fans looking for hints about where theAMC show's penultimate 13 episodes may beheaded will be disappointed, however. Weiner,who said he was in the middle of writing thisseason's eighth episode, was characteristicallytight-lipped about details.

“I'm not really prepared to talk about thenew season specifically right now,” he said.“The show will be advancing in time. I can't sayhow much. It will be more than a week.”

But the show runner of the four-time Emmywinner for best drama still had plenty to add.

“We ended up with a story this season thatseems very related to what our anxieties areright now,” he said. “The show seems to tap

into an internal state that is based on anxiety, aloss of national self-esteem, an alienation thathas been created from technology and a turninginward from the things you can't control to thethings you can.”

The show will have a special two-hour pre-miere, which Wiener likened to a movie.

“It has a lot of foreshadowing,” he said.“It will answer a lot of questions of wherewe left off last year. I'm really very proud ofits mood.”

Weiner confirmed that after this seasonthere will only be 13 more episodes before theseries ends. It's still unclear whether those final13 episodes will be aired consecutively or splitinto two parts.

AMC broke up the last 16 episodes ofVince Gilligan's hit drama “Breaking Bad” intotwo abbreviated seasons. Its final eight episodesare to air this summer.

“If they split it up, I will write it like Vincedid,” Weiner said. “I'm not against that.”

SEC in opponent scoring at47.6 per game. The Cats, onthe other hand, lead the nationin turnover margin at +10.47.

The difference is that theGamecocks, though able tokeep their opponents’ scoreslow, have been struggling toscore themselves, only scoring61.2 points per game. Con-versely, UK is having one ofits best offensive seasons to

date, placing second in theSEC at 79.3 points per game.

“I just think we’re moregifted offensively this year,”Mitchell said. “Our startingfive, when you have those fivekids on the floor, all five ofthem can put the ball in thebasket.”

Whether it comes downto whose defense plays thetoughest or who can pull inthe most rebounds, this gameis certain to continue a rivalrythat grows more contentiouswith every meeting. The two

similar teams may prove whois tougher.

“This will be a real testfor us,” Mitchell said. “One ofthe toughest defenses we’vegone up against in quite sometime. We will have to puteverything we can into thisone and play extremely well toearn a victory at South Caroli-na tomorrow night.”

The Cats and the Game-cocks will tip at 7 p.m. onThursday, and the game willbe televised on Fox SportsSouth.

Gold went on to say hewould be interested in re-searching further the benefitsadults could gain from pick-ing up a second language.

He also expressed hewould like to look furtherinto lifelong bilinguals whouse one of the two languageswith less frequency.

“We would like to under-stand if you do it less fre-quently, if you speak twolanguages, but not every day,does that help you?” he said.

French TA Perrine deSeze said this conclusiondoes not surprise her at all.

“When I first moved hereI would get headaches,” Seze

said. “Everyone was speak-ing English all the time.”Seze went on to say that assomeone who is bilingualshe could definitely see thedifficulty of switching be-tween the two languages.

Psychology professorGregory Smith said the studywas interesting and he wouldlike to look further into it.

“Kids raised bilingualhave different experiences,”Smith said. “I’d be interestedto see if it is the languagetraining or other aspects.”

The unique thing aboutthis study was the fact re-searchers used MRI technol-ogy to image the brain whileparticipants switched be-tween tasks, Gold said.

Researchers studied howbilingual people, both youngand old, compared to mono-

lingual people of both agegroups in a series of activities.

These activities includedswitching between identify-ing different colors and iden-tifying different shapes.

The bilingual partici-pants of both age groups per-formed better than the mono-lingual participants.

“How this all looks inthe brain is important aswell,” Gold said. “What isthe brain basis of this?What’s going in brain?”

The MRI imaging willhelp it be understood whatexactly can be gained frombilingualism and how ithelps prevent Alzheimer’s,Gold said.

“It is important to under-stand that this can help sen-iors age more gracefully,”Gold said.

We look for someone understandingof staff issues, can communicate at a highlevel and is dedicated.”

What seems to be on every-one's lips—that is except forBeyoncé's—is the recent re-views of her national anthemperformance at the presiden-

tial inaugu-ration thisMonday. No, the per-f o r m a n c ew a s n ' tcringe-wor-thy likeLana DelR e y ' sd r e a d f u l2012 SNLpe r fo rm-ance, nordid a nip"accident-

ly" slip from Justin Timber-lake's innocent yet aggressivegrip. On the contrary, the perform-ance by the mighty Beyoncéwas nothing short of spectac-ular, packing that diva-liciouspunch that she time and timeagain seems to glamorouslydeliver. Beyond the hideous momentsthat have wound chatteringlips in the past, the inflamedfactor that has everyone hiss-ing is that the performancelacked one fairly key compo-nent—Beyoncé's voice.Reports said Beyoncé decidedmoments before the perform-ance to go ahead with herrecording and the U.S MarineBand confirmed that the mu-sical accompaniment had infact been previously recorded. They went on to say, "therewas no opportunity for Ms.Knowles-Carter to rehearsewith the Marine Band beforethe Inauguration so it was de-termined that a live perform-ance by the band was ill-ad-vised for such a high-profileevent."It is still unclear if Beyoncésolely relied on the recording,merely moving her lips intime or actually sangwith/over the recording-andpeople are frantic.

While this technique is said tobe a standard preformingpractice, it has caused such astir within the musical com-munity and those intertwinedin it. For a lady who seems to onlyreceive golden feedback, whywould powerhouse Beyoncéput herself in such a stickysituation with fans and criticsalike?The Marine Corp later recant-ed the spokeswoman's state-ment, saying that they haveno way of verifying whetheror not Beyoncé actually sangit live or not. Capt. Gregory A. Wolf saidthe corps had decided againsta live performance becausethe Marine Band didn't haveenough time to rehearse withthe leading lady. Wolf went on to say that allof the music during the inau-guration is pre-recorded incase of freezing temperatures.So where does everyonestand on this issue? Accord-ing to an online Essence poll,20 percent of you care thatBeyonce lip-synched while awhopping 80 percent do not. And while the true fans seemto have Beyoncé's back, post-ing countless articles to Face-book and Twitter declaringtheir love, chart-topper andsoul singer, Aretha Franklinhas since joined team Bey-once."She wanted her performanceto be what she wanted to beand she realized it wasn't go-ing to be the way she wantedit to be or she was going to berunning a risk, " saidFranklin. While that wasn't the mostclear of defensive statements,if the true queen of soul, Mrs.Aretha Franklin is ok withBeyoncé's decision, shouldn'twe all be? PEOPLE's music critic,Chuck Arnold spat his opin-ion saying, "Surely therewouldn't be the same contro-versy about Beyoncé had she

been hoofing across the stageperforming ’Single Ladies(Put a Ring on It)’ on one ofher tour stops. But this wasthe presidential inauguration,the national anthem, and therewas no choreography in-volved."Arnold added, "Some thingshave to remain sacred, andfor ’the land of the free andthe home of the brave,’ thiswas one of them."While I will say that the StarSpangled Banner is the na-tion's true anthem, one thatdeserves respect and honor, Iwouldn't go as far as blatantlyinsinuating that Beyoncé dis-respected the song or ourcountry by not singing italone. If we are truly focusing onkeeping things scared, weshould focus on the plans thepresident has for the future ofthis country. I mean, this song was per-formed for the presidential in-auguration, signifying thecommencement of a newterm for the leader of our glo-rious nation, am I right? Basically, at the end of theday, we need to rememberthese three important thingswhen it comes to this big de-bacle with Beyoncé and lip-synching:

1. Whether or not we agreewith what the singer did, Be-yoncé can, in fact, sing. Shehas proven this before while,"hoofing across stage."There's no mystery to her tal-ent. Disagree? Discuss thatwith her fan base, Forbes orthe Illuminati...just kidding.2. Lip-synching is not goinganywhere.3. Now we can all thank Bey-oncé for giving the mediasomething to talk about be-sides the Manti Te'o scandal.

CORAL GABLES, Fla.— Miami crushed No. 1

Duke, 90-63, in an atmos-phere fitting for Cameron In-door Stadium. It wasn’t theoutcome that was surprisingas much as the method.

It was a massacre.The losing margin was

the worst in at least 15 sea-sons for Duke. The 42-19halftime deficit was the fifth-largest in school history.

Miami (14-3, 5-0 ACC)led by as many as 34 on theshell-shocked visitors whonever found a shootingrhythm.

The No. 25 Hurricanes,meanwhile, couldn’t miss. A25-1 run put UM up 42-17just before halftime.

The numbers were stag-gering.

ACC-leading Miamishot 56.9 percent Duke fin-ished 22-for-74 (29.7 per-cent). The Blue Devils wenteight minutes without a fieldgoal in the first half whileshooting only 22 percent.

Miami never lookedback after making six of itsfirst 10 shots from 3-pointland. Scott and Kadji eachadded nine points apiece inthe run that sent the packedhouse into a frenzy.

Four Hurricanes scoredin double figures, led byScott with 25 points.

Chants of “overrated”started early as Duke coachMike Krzyzewski appearedpowerless to stop the slide.Duke never got closer than23 in the second half as thenight got progressivelyworse for the top-rankedBlue Devils.

The only ones having aworse night thanKrzyzewski’s players werethe few fans decked out inDuke gear sitting in themiddle of the Miami stu-dent section.

It was one highlight afteranother for the can’t-miss‘Canes. Transition 3s, followdunks, everything was hit-ting for Miami.

The sheer magnitude ofthe beating overshadowedthe surprise return of centerReggie Johnson. He endedup missing just a month,much shorter than the six toeight weeks he was expectedto miss due to an injury. Justtwo days earlier, coach JimLarranaga gave no indicationhe’d be back.

Rasheed Sulaimon had ateam-high 16 for Duke (16-2, 3-2) who had four scorersin double figures.

Miami dominates

Devils at home

CORAL GABLES, Fla. —The long and sometimes

strange University of Miamiinvestigation took another turnWednesday afternoon.

This time it could be posi-tive for the embattled athleticsdepartment.

The NCAA launched aninternal investigation into thetactics its enforcement staffused while investigating theMiami football and basketballprograms. An angry NCAApresident Mark Emmert onWednesday afternoon ad-dressed the “shocking affair”that could bring the entire in-vestigative process into ques-tion.

It will delay the anticipat-ed notice of allegations fromthe 22-month long investiga-tion into Miami’s complianceand recruiting practices. Theinternal investigation is ex-pected to take no longer thantwo weeks, and Miami won’thear any details about the for-mal charges it faces until thatstep is completed.

All aspects of the inves-tigation will be addressed,but it’s the method used togain testimony that’s at thecenter of the problem.NCAA enforcement staffmembers allegedly workedwith the attorney of formerMiami booster NevinShapiro to obtain informa-tion during his bankruptcycase. Shapiro, who’s jailedon an unrelated Ponzischeme, claims he was be-hind eight years of NCAAviolations committed withhelp from various coachesthen employed by Miami.

Because the NCAA does

not have subpoena powers,enforcement staff had accessto information it couldn’t oth-erwise obtain.

“That is obviously im-proper conduct completelycontrary to our policies andprocedures,” Emmert said ona hastily called afternoonteleconference. “It’s some-thing for me, and for every-one, (that) is deeply disturb-ing.”

The attorney and NCAAinvestigator were not namedWednesday, but Elena Perezwas reportedly the Shapirolawyer involved in the deposi-tions.

“One of the questionsthat has to be answered, un-equivocally, is what was thenature of that contractualarrangement and what wasall the activity that that indi-vidual was involved with,”Emmert said.

Details of this strategyhave been published severaltimes during the past fewmonths, but Emmert said redflags were raised only whenNCAA billing documentswere filled containing ques-tionable expenses for aShapiro attorney.

“I’m concerned by behav-ior that I view as grossly inap-propriate that we can’t toler-ate,” he said.

The University of Miamiwas swift in its response toWednesday’s news.

President Donna Shalalareleased a strongly-wordedstatement reiterating theschool’s cooperation through-out the investigative processthat began nearly two yearsago.

“I am frustrated, disap-pointed and concerned byPresident Emmert’s announce-ment today that the integrity

of the investigation may havebeen compromised by theNCAA staff,” the statementread in part. “As we havedone since the beginning, wewill continue to work with theNCAA and now with theiroutside investigator hoping fora swift resolution of the inves-tigation and our case.”

The NCAA presidentquickly said any talk of throw-ing out all charges against Mi-ami is “premature.” In histwo-year tenure with theNCAA, Emmert said he’snever seen anything like thisalleged misstep in the inves-tigative process.

The NCAA hired KennethL. Wainstein, the formerHomeland Security Advisor toPresident George W. Bush, toconduct the probe.

“He will conduct an in-vestigation that involves inter-views with all of our people aswell as those outside of theNCAA who have been in-volved in this case and any-thing dealing in particular

conduct,” Emmert said. “Theywill have a broad enoughscope of the investigation thatthey can look into any issuesthat they deem appropriateand related to this matter.”

That would include alle-gations of ultimatums sent toformer Miami athletes allegedof wrongdoing. Published re-ports indicatethese indi-viduals weretold to coop-erate or anyallegationsm a d eagainst themwould beviewed asfact.

This isjust anotherblack eyefor the colle-giate athlet-ics governingbody and its enforcement arm.It fired an investigator in De-cember after details of a caseinvolving UCLA basketball

player Shabazz Muhammadwere leaked.

News of this large-scaleinvestigation into Miami’sathletics department droppedin August 2011. Shapiro,who’s serving a 20-yearprison sentence for his in-volvement in the Ponzischeme, had turned on the

school he’dalways sup-ported.

A storypubl ishedby Yahoo!Sports de-tailed hisclaims ofi m p r o p e rd e a l i n g s ,recruitmentand accom-modationsfor morethan 100

mostly for-mer Miami athletes and re-cruits from 2002-10. The offi-cial NCAA investigation be-gan months earlier.

Go Green. Recycle this Kernel.

letter to the editor

The author of the letter tothe editor in the Jan. 16 issueof the Kentucky Kernel recy-cles many outdated argu-ments against the right ofLGBT couples to marry. Allof them have been refuted inother forums, and I intend torefute them here as well.

The author’s first argu-ment states that social justiceis fundamentally grounded onreligious principles, and sincereligion is opposed to gaymarriage, gay marriage is in-valid. This is wrong for tworeasons: first, it is patentlyfalse that marriage for LGBTcouples is a religious issue. Itis the government — a secu-lar institution — that grantsmarriage licenses, not a reli-gious authority. Marriage li-censes often coincide with,but are still distinct from, areligious marriage ceremony.If the government cannot dic-tate to the clergy who theycan perform religious cere-monies for then neither canthe clergy dictate who thegovernment can grant mar-riage licenses to.

Secondly, the author as-sumes all religions are op-posed to gay marriage whenin actuality there is a plethoraof opinions on the issue. Tosay gay marriage is wrongbecause religion is against itignores the opinions of manyreligious adherents.

Moreover, the authorquotes the “religious” princi-ple of “loving your neighborand doing to others as youwould have them do to you,”but doesn’t find it ironic hewould deny his LGBT neigh-bors the right to marry whenhe would undoubtedly notlike them to deny him thesame right.

The author goes on tostate that the gay communityhas never been unfairly op-pressed. This is blatantlywrong. What does he call theapproximately 1,293 federalhate crimes attributed to anti-LGBT bias in 2011 if not op-pression? What aboutMatthew Shepard, PaulBroussard, Gwen Aranjo,Sakia Gunn, Rebecca Wrightor any of the other poor soulsmurdered because of their ac-tual or perceived orientation?And how about all the LGBTindividuals who are deniedhousing or fired simply be-cause of their perceived ori-entation?

As for the statement, “nostate or federal judge hasever sentenced someone toprison, death or even com-munity service just for beinghomosexual,” the author iswoefully ignorant of the sadhistory of sodomy laws andbar raids in the United States.

The author’s secular ar-gument against gay marriage

hinges on the inability ofLGBT couples to procreate,since the purpose of marriageis apparently to increase thestate’s population throughprocreation. In that case, whyis the state giving marriagelicenses to elderly couples,infertile couples and coupleswho simply don’t intend tohave kids? Should couples becontractually obliged to pro-duce children within a certainperiod of receiving a mar-riage license? And whatabout adoption? I suppose theauthor would prefer that the114 thousand children in theUnited States waiting to beadopted just stay in the or-phanages as opposed to hav-ing two moms or two dads.The author fails to realizethat the reason many LGBTcouples are fighting so hardfor marriage equality is be-cause they want a stablecommitted union in which toraise a family.

In his closing paragraphthe author iterates that hedoesn’t believe that homo-sexuals should be discrimi-nated against. However, Iwould argue that the exclu-sion of LGBT couples frommarriage amounts to exactlythat — discrimination.
