Maybe Joker Phillips couldn’t help but repeat him- self. After No. 8 Auburn hung on to beat UK 37-34 on Saturday, giving the Cats their third straight loss, UK’s head coach kept retreating to the same words in his postgame news conference. “My heart aches for those guys. They played their hearts out,” Philips said. “We played inspired, played with emotions, made plays when we needed to have them made, just came up a little short. “My heart aches for those guys. I asked those guys to play with everything on the field, play with heart, play with emotion and they did.” After falling behind 31-14 in the first half, the Cats’ defense bounced back in the second half to slow Tiger quarterback Cam Newton as the offense pulled within striking range. UK (3-3, 0-3 Southeastern Conference) tied the game at 31 in the third quarter and at 34 in the fourth quarter but fell short. With the memory of a failed late-game rally at Ole Miss fresh in their minds from last week, the Cats’ fourth quarter comeback at- tempt wasn’t enough. Newton drove Auburn (6-0, 3-0 SEC) down the field, burning the clock in a drive that lasted nearly sev- en-and-a-half minutes before a chip shot field goal downed UK in the closing seconds. The Tigers’ 6-foot-6 signalcaller went on a rampage, rushing for four first- half touchdowns while racking up 198 rushing yards and 210 passing yards. Junior wide receiver Randall Cobb led a UK offense that produced when it mattered most but couldn’t catch a break. Cobb finished with a passing touchdown, a re- ceiving touchdown and two rushing touchdowns, but the Cats’ defense failed to recover any of four fumbles coughed up by Auburn ballcarriers. Junior safety Win- ston Guy said the defense had recovered some of the loose balls, but the calls didn’t go their way. “I think those calls, it’s the refs’ calls but I think those two fumbles, we had (them),” Guy said. “I guess By Ben Jones [email protected] Cats fall short, Auburn wins 37-34 See FOOTBALL on page 2 Runners, dancers, ribbon twirlers and Lexingtonians of all ages, includ- ing more than 200 UK student volun- teers, covered downtown streets on Sunday in an effort to make Kentucky healthier.

Last year, its first year, around 200 Lexington Catholic students raised $12,000 during the mini- marathon, Elena Jones, mar- keting junior and DanceBlue High School Mini-Marathon Coordinator, said.

LOS ANGELES Stung by criticism that itrushed the conversion of "Clash of the Titans"into 3-D earlier this year, Warner Bros. isplaying it safe with "Harry Potter and theDeathly Hallows Part 1."

The studio said Friday it would not releasea planned 3-D version of the movie when itopens Nov. 19, saying it didn't have enoughtime to complete the conversion of the seventhHarry Potter film.

"Despite everyone's best efforts, we wereunable to convert the film in its entirety andmeet the highest standards of quality," the stu-dio said. "We do not want to disappoint fanswho have long-anticipated the conclusion ofthis extraordinary journey."

The move appears aimed at avoiding a re-peat of the controversy that erupted last springwhen consumers and critics widely panned thequality of the 3-D effects in "Clash of the Ti-tans," one of a slew of movies that Hollywood

studios scrambled to convert to 3-D followingthe huge box-office success of JamesCameron's science-fiction epic "Avatar."

"Harry Potter" director David Yates andproducer David Heyman both expressed sup-port for the decision in a joint statement. "For10 years, we have worked alongside (WarnerBros. President) Alan Horn and the studio,whose priority has always been to preserve theintegrity of Jo Rowling's books as we haveadapted them to the screen, and this decisionreflects that commitment."

The studio did say it planned to release thesecond installment of the final "Harry Potter"film as scheduled, on July 15, 2011, in both 2-D and 3-D formats.

A Warner Bros. spokesman declined tosay whether or not "Part 1" would eventuallybe released in 3-D.

For the third straightweek, players said they’d takethe game as a learning experi-ence and move forward.Phillips was encouraged bythe performance of the de-fense in the second half, whenthe Cats made adjustments inan effort to contain Newton’srunning.

Players said the UK de-fense also upped its intensityin the second half. Phillipsechoed them — before echo-ing himself again.

“I always knew what thisteam was about,” Phillipssaid. “This team will fight un-til there are zeroes on theclock. This team has heart,there’s no question about that.This is a team that has a lot ofheart, that will fight you untilthere are zeroes on the clock.”

For Phillips, who has seenmany close losses on the UKsideline as a player andcoach, everything seemed alittle too familiar.

“They all hurt. They allrip your guts out,” Phillips

said. “I don’t feel any differ-ent than the players in thereor the assistant coaches.

“They rip your guts out,no question about that.”

Associate Dean for Ex-tension for the UK Collegeof Agriculture Jimmy Hen-ning emphasized the College

of Agriculture’s support for2nd Sunday and promoting ahealthier Kentucky.

“We are about healthyfamilies, healthy lifestyles,nutrition and helping peoplebecome more active,” Hen-ning said. “I think 2nd Sun-day makes people realize thatphysical activity can be funand that it can take on a lotof different forms.”

This year, 115 of Ken-tucky’s 120 counties partici-pated in 2nd Sunday. Ken-tucky has gained nationalrecognition as the first state

to employ a program likethis, which tackles the issueof inactivity and the lack ofbuilt environment to supportphysical health, Doggett said.

Nursing sophomoreMegan Dodge volunteered atthe event and said it was es-sential to get the campus in-volved.

“UK is such a huge partof Lexington, and if peoplesee us thinking it’s importantthen they’re going to thinkit’s important, too,” Dodgesaid.

In addition to the state-

wide initiative, Lexingtonholds monthly 2nd Sundayevents. Weekly bike rides de-parting from Cheapside Parkare also held every Sunday.The next scheduled monthlyevent is a bike ride fromCheapside Park to the Beau-mont Center on Nov. 14.

“I was pleased with theplay, the response from theaudience and the work of thestudents,” Henderson said.“I’m happy.”

Henderson said this pro-

duction is not exactly similarto Currens’ original version.

“It has differentstrengths,” Henderson said.“There are some similarities,but this is a different thing.”

Nancy Jones, chair of theDepartment of Theatre, wasalso impressed with the show.

“I thought the audiencebought in as soon as the cur-tains went up,” Jones said.“They knew they were in aTim Burton-esque world.

They could appreciate thesubtleties.”

The students’ acting par-ticularly impressed Jones.

“I like the way they inter-act with each other,” Jonessaid. “I saw the students dothings I didn’t know theycould do. I love what thatsays in terms of the future.”

Clementi’s death and reac-tion to allegations that hewas the victim of an onlinespycam.

“I’m hopeful that we willbe able to get it passed expe-ditiously,” Turner said Mon-day. “Technology is great butit’s gotten out of controlwhen it’s not used responsi-bly.”

Even if the suspects in-tended just “a lark or a jokeor entertainment,” Turnersaid, “it definitely was a sick

act.”Clementi, 18, of Ridge-

wood, jumped off theGeorge Washington Bridgeto his death on Sept. 22, afew days after a Web cam-era allegedly streamed hissexual encounter with a manto Internet viewers. Hisbody was identified a weeklater. By then, word of hisdisappearance — and the in-vestigation of the sex broad-cast — had become an inter-national story, with friendsand family remembering akind, musically talentedyoung man and strangerscalling for an end to the sortof torment he may have en-dured.

Two of Clementi's ac-quaintances — his room-mate, Dharun Ravi, andRavi’s friend Molly Wei,both 18 — were chargedwith invasion of privacy, andprosecutors reportedly are re-searching whether they alsocould be charged with a bias

crime.Ravi was released on

$25,000 bail and Wei was re-leased on her own recogni-zance. Neither has spoken toreporters. Friends have de-scribed them as bright, affa-ble classmates for whom cru-elty would be out of charac-ter.

Two assemblywomen —Valerie Vainieri Huttle, D-Englewood, and Mary PatAngelini, R-Monmouth —started work in January on aso-called anti-bullying bill ofrights, to be introduced thismonth. Although the Rutgersincident was not the inspira-tion for the bill, Vainieri Hut-tle said, it highlighted theneed “to reshape the studentculture.”

“It’s sort of educatingthem to be more tolerant andrespectful of their peers,” shesaid. “Students who bullywill not be tolerated in NewJersey schools.”

The bill would require

each district to retain an anti-bullying specialist, formalizea chain of command for re-porting and investigating in-cidents and compel princi-pals to contact parents of allinvolved in bullying behav-ior.

Many such bills, howev-er, stall in the legislativeprocess despite the attentionthey collect in the wake ofthe tragedies the measureshope to correct.

“As unfortunate as it is,sometimes it takes a tragedyto uncover either weaknessor a gaping hole in law,” saidDerek Roseman, aspokesman for state SenatePresident Stephen Sweeney.“But the most importantthing is that the law must bewritten to stand the tests ofboth the legal system andtime. Lawmakers often needtime to put their emotionsand personal feelings asideso they can review a propos-al with clear eyes.”

Accuracy is the pillarof good journalism. TheKentucky Kernel recog-nizes this and does every-thing possible to ensure itsstories are entirely accu-rate before publication.

Last Monday, in an at-tempt to further its effortsto ensure accuracy, theKernel began issuing ac-curacy checks to sourcesused in its stories.

These allow us to re-view the professionalismof our journalists whileinforming them of thethings they are doingwell and more important-ly, the areas they can im-prove.

The accuracy checksgive stories’ sources theopportunity to commenton a range of variables ofthe story they were quotedor featured in.

The checks ask for theconditions of the interviewsuch as, whether it wasconducted in person, orvia phone or e-mail. Addi-tionally, it asks the inter-viewee whether or not heor she felt the reporterproperly quoted him orher in the article.

While the checks areeffective at allowing edi-tors to evaluate writers,the checks can also helpimprove the stories beforethey are even sent.

If reporters are awarethat an accuracy checkwill be sent following thepublication of their story,it ensures they are held ac-countable for their report-ing, and they will hopeful-ly make an extra effort toensure complete accuracy.

Simultaneously, thesechecks should build rap-port with the people theKernel includes in storiesand above all, its reader-ship.

The Kentucky Kernelwants to take every possi-ble measure to ensure weremain a source readerscan trust, and we are al-ways looking for ways toimprove as a publication.We hope these accuracychecks help us do justthat.

While good journal-ism should be the inher-ent goal of every publica-tion, the Kernel will takea step further to be ex-ceptional.

opinions

Life is fleeting, but this does not imply we need to livefast.

American culture is obsessed with work-ing and making every minute productive.Eventually, our energy resources will be ex-punged, and the country will sink into a stateof exhaustion (if it’s not there already).

The puritanism embedded in Americanculture and the US’ economic position in theglobal arena drives us deeper into an exhaus-tive cycle of working and over-scheduling.

This productivity addiction is characteris-tically American, and, until we recognize itsimplications, rising economic powers willrapidly exceed the US.

Economics aside, the emotional and psy-chological state of American culture suffers from energy out-put.

Indicators of America’s over-exertion are the multitude ofanti-stress, pro-productivity remedies recommended in adver-

tisements, such as sleep aids, Adderall or spongy mattresses.But we have failed to unearth the root of the weed deplet-

ing our resources: associating productivity with happiness. Even our weekends keep us overbooked and over-stimu-

lated. I know students who went to Keeneland, the footballgame and the bars — all in one day.

While making a marathon of fun may seem like the ap-propriate remedy for a week of grueling routine and drudgery,it is pushing us further into a cycle of fatigue and estrange-ment from ourselves.

I include myself in this flawed mentality. When I have afull day before me, I cram one activity after another, and themoment my head hits the pillow I am defeated from exhaus-tion.

Here’s the appropriate solution: slow down and do every-thing in moderation. When possible, enjoy life one element ata time. Sip slower. Turn off the noise. Take a siesta.

The UK men’s ice hockeyteam had its first home gamein two weeks Saturday nightas it took on the CincinnatiBearcats at the Lexington IceCenter.

The Cool Cats battledthrough an extended weekendschedule as they traveled toLouisville to face the Cardi-nals on Thursday and to theUniversity of Cincinnati totake on the Bearcats on Fri-day. They returned home Sat-urday night to battle UC infront of their home fans.

“We started running awaywith the game in LouisvilleThursday night,” UK headcoach Rob Docherty said.“We started losing our con-centration until they scoredand we realized we need toplay our best against everyhockey team. It was good tohave a little bit of travellingin there before a home com-petition on Saturday.”

UK (7-0-0) came out ofthe weekend without a lossand remains undefeated on theseason. The Cats outscoredtheir weekend opponents 36-14 combined as they punishedLouisville 17-2 and routed UCtwice with scores of 7-4 onFriday and 12-8 on Saturday.

“You couldn’t ask foranything more than to be un-

defeated,” senior forwardTaylor Vit said. “Teams willtry to play their best nowknowing that we haven’t lostyet and the games will justget harder and harder. It willgive us a chance to get bet-ter.”

After trailing 8-7 in thethird period in Saturdaynight’s contest against UC,UK bounced back with fourunanswered goals. Junior for-ward Michael Getz accountedfor three of the four goals ashe racked up a hat trick for

the game.“Cincinnati started playing

real physical with us in thethird period Friday night,”sophomore forward DylanRohar said. “They carriedtheir physicality into Saturdaynight’s game and kind of tookaway our concentration. It wasa big wake-up call for us.”

The Cool Cats now lookahead to the American Colle-giate Hockey AssociationShowcase in Youngstown,Ohio, this weekend.

“We get to play goodteams that we don’t usuallyplay,” Vit said. “It’s a greatopportunity to show we canplay and to impress the rank-ings committee.”

The ACHA Showcase isalso an opportunity to seehow the team matches up tothe other teams that aren’t ontheir schedule.

“Usually only the betterteams in the conference areinvited,” Rohar said. “Somearen’t on our schedule so wedon’t have the chance to playthem during the season. Itgives us the chance to seewhere are team is at.”

A stretch of away gamesnow lies ahead for the Cats asthey will face Illinois State,Temple University, SienaCollege and Penn State be-fore their next home game.

“We just have to be pre-pared to play on the road,”Vit said. “We have to beready to play just like we doback home. If we can playlike we’re home, we can findourselves with some qualityroad wins.”

The schedule will onlybecome more difficult as theseason progresses. Dochertybelieves the Cats are preparedfor the task at hand.

“We’re 7-0,” Dochertysaid. “We’re the team to beatfrom here on out. We have towin the road games, and we’reready for the challenge.”

Cool Cats scrap,remain unbeaten

STAFF FILE PHOTOThe UK men’s ice hockey team continues its undefeated season at 7-0-0. The Cool Cats have claimedrecent victories over the University of Louisville and the University of Cincinnati.

“Teams will try to playtheir best now knowing

that we haven’t lostyet... ”

TAYLOR VITSenior forward

A team can only do somuch to succeed when it’splaying the No. 8 football

team in thenation. Sat-urday, UKdid all itcould.

T h eCats playedtop-25-typef o o t b a l lagainst thesecond-bestp r o g r a mthey facethis season,

but the clock struck zero beforethey had a chance to completetheir comeback. The thoughtbetween fans, players andcoaches alike: “We just ran outof time.” It’s that simple.

Despite the final tallydisplaying Auburn ahead bythree points, everyone, in-cluding head coach JokerPhillips, knew UK compet-ed as tough it could when itwas asked to do so.

“My heart aches forthese guys. They played theirhearts out,” Phillips said.“We asked them to come inand prepare like champi-ons… and we got there. Ourguys played hard, played in-spired, played with emo-tion… I asked them to leaveeverything on the field andthey did it.”

Phillips couldn’t sayenough about his teampostgame, and understand-ably so.

Admittedly, I don’tknow what a scouting re-port looks like, butAuburn’s quarterback CamNewton’s report likely not-ed (in bold) that he is kindof good. If UK paid moreattention to that fact in thefirst half, it may have founditself the victor Saturday.

Both sides of the ballsaw success for UK, espe-cially its second-half de-fense. The team did a goodjob of containing the major-ity of the Tigers’ playmak-ers (except for Newton, ofcourse), causing confusionin Auburn’s backfield andforcing fumbles in criticalpositions. But too few ballsbounced the Cats’ way, andsuch is the game of football.

For the first time in along time, fan support wasbooming for the home team.The chants, the cheering, theapplause (and the not leav-ing early) — it was all per-haps the driving force be-hind the improved play ofthe Cats. CommonwealthStadium will need to see the70,000+ attendance numberagain next week if the BigBlue Nation wants to seesimilar success.

One burning questionregards UK’s jovial playagainst the top-10 opponentit faced in Auburn in con-trast to the relaxed effortssupporters saw againstFlorida and Ole Miss attimes. The team periodicallylooked to be defeated beforethe final tick of the clock.The Cats seemed to lackconsistency, but Saturday

proved a bit of change for thehometown team.

The notion flowing be-tween viewers was thatAuburn would give the ballback to the Cats one way oranother in the closing mo-ments of Saturday’s contest.But the Tigers’ 19-play, 86-yard drive that consumed thefinal 7:22 of the game wastoo much for UK and itsfans. It was simply goodscheming by Auburn — theCats could do nothing.

“There was not a doubt inmy mind that we would getthem stopped and our offensemoving the ball,” Phillipssaid. “There was no doubt inmy mind that we were goingto win this game.”

The valiant effort in theloss leaves fans hopeful forthe upcoming weeks, though.

With South Carolina comingto Lexington next Saturday,the Cats will have another op-portunity to play giant killersagainst the Gamecocks,though they will undoubtedlybe buzzing after knocking offAlabama this weekend.

Win or no win, this weekand next, it is clear UK is play-ing to prevail. The Cats areputting themselves throughtougher workouts each week,and it is beginning to show.The pieces of the puzzle arecoming together, and once thestars align (which they maynext week), UK could be adangerous team at a decisivepoint in the season.

Internship experience isone way to boost a resume,and one opportunity is mak-ing “dreams come true” forUK students.

The Disney College Pro-gram offers paid internshipsto UK students at either WaltDisney World in Florida orDisneyland in California.

“Students can maintaintheir status as a full time stu-dent,” Cindy Edwards, Dis-ney College Program contactat the James W. Stuckert Ca-reer Center said.

Edwards said the abilityto maintain student statusand while working for Disneyhas advantages to students forvarious reasons, and is espe-cially useful to those studentswho wish to stay covered un-der a parent’s health care in-surance.

Edwards explained thatstudents’ credit hours vary for

the program. Each major al-lows for different credit op-portunities, and studentsshould talk to their advisersabout earning hours beforeparticipating.

Ben Noel is an arts ad-ministration junior and a for-mer Disneyintern. Noelsaid he is notbehind be-cause of tak-ing time tointern.

“ F r o mwhat I cantell, I think Iam right ontrack,” hesaid.

Noel interned as a sopho-more and was able to earn 12credit hours.

Disney College Programinterns pay for their ownhousing while working forthe company, but programsalaries are more than enough

to cover living costs, saidWayne Hampton, a DisneyWorld representative who re-cently held an informationalmeeting about the collegeprogram at UK.

Hampton said Disney hascut housing costs, and stu-

dents canchoose from afew differentoptions. Allutilities are in-cluded inh o u s i n gprices, andDisney pro-vides trans-portation toand fromwork.

Students can choose fromnumerous jobs, includingconcierge, character atten-dant, lifeguard and vacationplanner, according to the pro-gram’s website.

Hampton said while aDisney College Program in-

ternship does not guaranteeemployment with Disney, itdoes offer a leg up when ap-plying for future jobs.

“It would open a door if Idecided to go back down toDisney after I graduate,” Noelsaid.

Noel said he learned howbig companies run throughthe program.

He explained that the in-ternship also exposed him toindividuals from a vast arrayof cultures, because touristsand employees come from allover the world.

“I think it definitely mademe aware of language barri-ers,” Noel said. “I had tolearn how to communicatenonverbally.”

All current college stu-dents can apply for a DisneyCollege Program internshiponline at (Disneycollegepro-gram.com). The applicationprocess is currently underway for the spring session.
