UK quarterback Mike Hartlinewill be cleared of public intoxica-tion and disorderly conduct if hecompletes court-ordered communityservice, a prosecutor said Monday.

Hartline, a senior, was arrested oncharges of alcohol intoxication, disor-derly conduct and failure to notify ad-dress change to the Department ofTransportation at 3 a.m. Dec. 10.

Ashley Carnes, Hartline’s girl-friend and a UK cheerleader, wasalso charged with disorderly con-duct and alcohol intoxication.

Both pleaded not guilty andwere found eligible for the FayetteCounty Attorney’s Diversion Pro-gram. If they complete the program,

their records will be expunged,First-Assistant County Attorney Bri-an Mattone said.

“The program is designed togive first time offenders a secondchance,” Mattone said. “Most of theparticipants are college kids whomay have had too much to drink.”

The program is limited to non-vio-lent offenders. Although witnesses saidHartline struck a woman, no assaultcharges have been filed in FayetteCounty District court.

Mattone said that in addition to commu-nity service, Hartline and Carnes may haveother requirements for the program. These re-quirements are determined by an interviewwith the offender.

A court date to assess Carnes’ andHartline’s progress is scheduled forMarch 14.

Since UK head coach MatthewMitchell has been at UK he’s hadno problem landing great recruits.

But Mitchell’s highest-rankedplayer picked UK at a peculiar time,during the middle of the season.

Samarie Walker was a top 10recruit last season and planned onbeing next in line of ConnecticutAll-Americans until she recentlyhad a change of heart and trans-ferred to UK.

“I am very happy that Samariehas joined the Kentucky program,”Mitchell said in a release. “She is afine young woman who I got to

know well while recruiting her dur-ing her high school career.

“Samarie is a talented playerwho will have an excellent oppor-tunity to make a significant impactat Kentucky on and off the basket-ball court.”

In a statement released by Con-necticut, Walker said she didn’thave the "energy and commitmentthat it needs to be successful" atConnecticut.

Walker averaged 6.2 points and5.8 rebounds in 18.8 minutes pergame with Connecticut.

Mechelle Voepel, who writesabout women’s basketball for ESPN,cited location -- Walker is a Dayton,Ohio native -- as a possible reason for

the decision.Voepel’s arti-

cle on ESPN.comsaid Connecticutcoach Geno Au-riemma was sur-prised in Walker’sdecision to leaveand also saidWalker told himshe had been los-ing her passion

for basketball since tenth grade.Voepel was not available for

further comment.Walker can immediately prac-

tice with the team but may not trav-el or play. She will be eligible toplay next season after the fall se-mester and will have three years ofeligibility remaining.

A committee has been formed,a search firm chosen and communi-ty forums planned. Next on theagenda for UK's presidentialsearch: finding the best person forthe job.

Advertisements have been cir-culating the academic world forabout a month, Board of TrusteesChair Britt Brockman said, in pub-lications such as The Chronicle ofHigher Education. Brockman saidfrom the advertisements, the searchcommittee -- along with Green-wood/Asher & Associates, the ex-

ecutive search firm hired to findUK's 12th president -- will be solic-iting nominees and contacting peo-ple that may qualify for the job.

The position announcement wasfinalized in November, expressingspecific qualities that UK's newleader would ideally possess, suchas leadership and managementskills, a history of scholarlyachievement and effective commu-nication abilities.

The announcement also men-tions UK's goal to become a Top 20public research institution by 2020.

“I think the committee needs tofocus on an individual who hasclearly demonstrated that they un-

derstand the complexities of a largeorganization with multiple missions… and has demonstrated an expert-ise in balancing the many compo-nents within the organization, suchas academics, athletics and healthcare,” University Senate CouncilChair Hollie Swanson, one of thethree faculty members on the searchcommittee, said in an e-mail to theKernel.

“Given the challenges currentlyfacing higher education, it is alsocritical that the individual has in-tegrity, a commitment to the idealsof higher education and a vision for

Audiences of the UK Opera Theatre’sproduction of the American classic “Porgyand Bess” will be the first to see whatmight be the future of theatrical stage de-sign. A new scenic projection technologydeveloped by the UK Center for Visualiza-

tion and Virtual Environments (Vis Center)will make its debut in a theatrical setting.

“The technology used in our productionand ‘Porgy and Bess’ will revolutionize thetheatre and answer a major question in the-atre: How to produce Grand Opera in the-atres not equipped with a fly system of off-stage wing space,” Director of UK OperaTheatre Everett McCorvey said.

The technology, named SCRIBE (self-

contained rapidly integratable backgroundenvironment) by the Vis Center, utilizes asoftware system that blends multiple pro-jections into one image that will be project-ed from behind onto two screens, whichwill include still images and video relatedto the various scenes in the production.

This new rear projection system createslarge projections using a minimal amount ofstage space, avoiding the problems front andrear projected backdrops caused for set de-sign and performers. Normal front projectorscan cast shadows and images onto the per-formers, and normal rear projectors requireprojectors to be placed far distances behindthe screens to create a large enough image ofscenery, which can limit stage space.

“This is groundbreaking scenic technol-ogy for theatre,” McCorvey said. “The pos-sibilities for scenic elements using the tech-nology are limitless. Using scenic contentlike this is just the first of many ways thatscenic technology may be used in opera,theatre and many other parts of the per-forming arts industry.”

The Vis Center’s new innovative high-definition projection technology will depictimages of real locations in Charleston, S.C.and the islands off the coast of North Caroli-na that were taken and edited by the Vis Cen-ter team, led by set designer Richard Kagey.Actual hurricane footage from The WeatherChannel will be used as well.

What beats rooting for your favorite team onSuper Bowl Sunday? Watching the commercials,of course.

Along with cars, beers and snack foods,movies will be relentlessly pitched at viewers ofSuper Bowl XLV, airing Feb. 6 on Fox. In fact,the studios bought at least 13 ad spots (averagecost: about $3 million) during the game and pre-game show, a record number, according toVariety. Here's what you can expect to see.

Paramount may well dominate the game withsix trailers. Look out for two animated movies,“Rango” (out March 4), with Johnny Depp voic-ing a googly eyed lizard, and “Kung Fu Panda 2”(May 26), plus two superhero films “Thor” (May6) and "Captain America" (July 22). The studioalso bought a spot for "Transformers: Dark of theMoon" (July 1). And there's a trailer for J.J.

Abrams' sci-fi film “Super 8” (June 10), whoseplot is under wraps.

Another big player is Sony, which is touting“Priest” (May 13), starring Paul Bettany as avampire-fighting holy warrior; the Adam Sandler-Jennifer Aniston romcom “Just Go With It” (Feb.11); and the alien invasion flick “Battle: LosAngeles” (March 11).

Disney will unveil “Pirates of the Caribbean:On Stranger Tides” (May 20). Universal willshow a glimpse of its head-scratching hybrid“Cowboys and Aliens” (July 29). RelativityMedia will push its thriller “Limitless,” starringBradley Cooper and Robert De Niro, while FocusFeatures has a spot for “The Eagle” (Feb. 11), asword-and-sandals drama with Channing Tatum.

The fun is in the commercials

a brighter future,” Swansonsaid. She also stressed the im-portance of experience withshared governance in a newleader.

“The search committee tothis point has not had a lot todo,” Brockman said. Most ofthe work so far has been inthe hands of the Green-wood/Asher.

However, when the com-mittee meets after holding itsJan. 28 community forums,there will be much more totalk about.

“I believe Jan. 28 will bereally when the meat and po-tatoes begins — when thehard work begins —for thesearch committee,” Brock-man said.

He hopes the forums willprovide the committee withcertain characteristics to lookfor in the candidates and helpnarrow down the list of po-tentials from hundreds of

names to just a few.Brockman expects search

committee meetings to be fre-quent after Friday, since thetentative deadline for a finaldecision is set for May 1. Hecalled the deadline “very am-bitious.”

An increasingly talked-about issue regarding thesearch is the matter of confi-dentiality for any potentialcandidates.

Some of the best candi-dates currently have securejobs, and revealing that theyare interested in a new posi-tion could threaten those jobs.

“Many candidates willsimply not become candidatesif this is not held in strict con-fidence,” Brockman said.

He acknowledged the dif-ficulty in honoring opennessand transparency if the UKcommunity can know onlythe finalist chosen to be thenext president, but he knowsthat many candidates may re-fuse to advance in the searchprocess if they must revealthemselves publicly.

Brockman hopes that the

search committee will dis-cuss confidentiality at itsJan. 28 meeting and give arecommendation to theboard, whose next meeting ison Feb. 22. It is ultimatelyup to the board to decidewhether or not candidates'identities will be kept confi-dential or not.

“An ideal process is onethat would embrace as muchtransparency as possible suchthat the faculty, staff and stu-dents can be ensured that thebest possible candidate hasbeen chosen as the next Uni-versity of Kentucky presi-dent,” Swanson said.

Brockman has challengedthe search committee to givethe board an unordered list ofthree to five candidates bymid-April.

The cost of hiring thesearch firm is approximately$100,000, Brockman said, notincluding travel, legal andother expenses. As of now, heestimates the total cost of thepresidential search to be be-tween $150,000 and$200,000.

The technology was origi-nally developed at the VisCenter through a partnershipwith Fort Knox. Its initial ap-plication was to build rapidlydeployable, high-resolutionscreens to be used in trainingor battle by military.

The project grew from amulti-disciplinary researchcollaboration between Mc-

Corvey and Brent Seales, di-rector or the Vis Center.

“We plan to see more ofthese types of real applica-tions of our technology con-tinue to take place as wework with other researchersacross the university in thefuture,” Seales said. “Thepossibilities are amazing ifyou consider what researchcan do when people step out-side of their regular environ-ments to interact with thosewith a distinctly differentbackground.”

SCRIBE will be used forthe first time in a theatrical set-ting for the UK production,and then will travel to The At-lanta Opera for performancesof the opera, the first profes-sional opera company to usethe technology.

“After the Atlanta produc-tion is complete, UK Operaand the Vis Center plan to li-cense the technology to acompany that will be formedto allow opera companiesaround the world to use thetechnology,” McCorvey said.

Attack of the remakesMany movie goers are

beginning to wonder if thereare any original ideas left inHollywood at all.

In recent years, audi-ences have been offered anincreasingly heavy diet of re-makes, reboots and re-imag-inings.

The vast majority ofthese remakes don’t measureup to the original films, butthat doesn’t mean that Holly-wood plans to stop the tidalwave any time soon.

As a matter of fact, themajor studios are pressingforth with an even more am-bitious slate of remakes andreboots of such classics as:Lethal Weapon, Total Recall,Spider-Man, The WildBunch, The Dirty Dozen,Frankenstein, Godzilla,Cleopatra, Annie and many,many more.

While a healthy portionof the movie-going audiencelooks at that list and preparefor unnecessary remakes, astudio executive can look atthe same list and see whatothers in boardrooms all overHollywood see: a safe bet.

Although critics and au-diences complain, the fact re-mains that even a widelypanned remake can make ahealthy bundle of money outof the gate before plummet-ing in its second week of re-lease. By that point, assum-ing the film was madecheaply enough, it will havealready made most of its pro-duction budget back, leavingthe studio with a good, old-

fashioned cash grab at thebox office. In other words…easy money.

Film industry journalistand author Nicole Laporterecently explained the “safebet” mindset of the Holly-wood studios.

“Whether the film isgood or not, your marketingis done,” Laporte said. “Peo-ple know what it’s about.The overall sense is that ifyou do these kinds of pic-tures right, you will stillmake money.”

That may sound cynical,but it’s true. Otherwise, Hol-lywood wouldn’t be doingso many remakes. In fact,with the budgets of the aver-age major studio film com-ing in at a minimum $100million, and the profits fromDVD sales continuing tofall, the major studios willundoubtedly continue toplay it safe by going throughtheir vast back catalogslooking for more classics torepackage.

Remakes that surpassedthe originals

The Maltese Falcon

Humphrey Bogart’s im-mortal 1941 noir classic wasactually the second remakeof the original film. Thirdtime was definitely thecharm here.

The Thing

Utilizing claustrophobicsets, an amazing cast of char-acter actors led by Kurt Rus-

sell, and the unmatched FXwork of Rob Bottin, JohnCarpenter’s chilling 1982 re-make of the schlocky 1950’ssci-fi classic raised the barfor remakes.

The Wizard of Oz

Released in 1939, theJudy Garland classic easilytriumphed over the varioussilent film versions that camebefore it, becoming so en-trenched in the public’s con-sciousness in the process,that many people aren’t evenaware that it was a remake.

The Fugitive

The Harrison Ford actionclassic took the basic prem-ise of the original TV seriesfrom the 1960s, and im-proved upon it in every con-ceivable way, earning co-starTommy-Lee Jones an Oscarfor Best Supporting Actor.

The Departed

Directed by MartinScorsese, this 2006 crimeepic is one of the few re-makes to ever win the Acad-emy Award for both BestPicture and Best Directing.

True Grit

Doing what few everdared to do, remake an icon-ic John Wayne western, thewriting and directing team ofJoel and Ethan Coen didwhat many considered im-possible: They outdid theDuke.

A fish out of water: an opinion on the new horoscope calendar

One night I went to sleep as a fish; thenext morning I was not a fish anymore. Ihad been mysteriously transformed into a

“water-bearer.” Talkabout an identity crisis.

Of course, I’m not ac-tually referring to my ap-pearance. That would bevery unsettling. I’m refer-ring instead to the recenttalk about the change inthe zodiac signs.

For many years Iidentified myself with the“Pisces” astrologicalsign, and read my horo-scope from time to time,

interested to see what was “in the stars”for me. But according to new reports, Imay have to start identifying with the“Aquarius” sign.

Parke Kunkle, an astronomy instructorat the Minneapolis Community and Tech-nical College, began the whole craze.

By observing that the earth’s “wobblyorbit” has affected the way we view theconstellations, he drew the conclusion thatour zodiac calendar was, therefore, out-ofdate.

The new zodiac calendar pushes thedates back a bit, even adding in a 13thsign, Ophiuchus (Nov. 29 to Dec. 17), theimage of a “serpent bearer.” This observa-tion has incited many critics and horo-scope-followers to vocalize their angerand confusion at the change.

According to many of my friends (andall the rumors from the very reliable Face-book news feed) this new zodiac calendar

only applies to those born after 2009.Even then, I still can’t help but think

about all the people who have been affect-ed by this news. I’m sure many of thepeople who have gotten their zodiac signstattooed on their body might be regrettingtheir decision.

I had never put too much stock intothe idea of the mystical power of the zodi-ac, that is, until recently. For me at least,the description of a Pisces fits me perfect-ly. I’m creative, sometimes impulsive,artistic, passionate, indecisive and intu-itive.

But yet, reading the description of anAquarius, my “new” sign, I could seequalities in myself as well. I’m also toler-ant, supportive and enjoy giving advice toothers.

This showed me something very im-portant. We can read into these horoscopeshowever we want to, and in that respect,they become self-fulfilling prophecy. Ifyou wake up and read your horoscope,and the stars predict you will have anamazing day, then that is what day youwill create for yourself, and vice versa.

So no matter whether you are a fish, ascorpion or a man carrying a snake, youstill have the choice to decide who youwant to be.

It is important to remember that al-though horoscopes may be fun and some-times true, it is you that dictates your des-tiny and the path that you’re on. You holdthe stars in your hand.

Talk addresses Christian-Muslim divideThis past weekend I attended my first

Christian-Muslim Dialogue with a closefriend. We were asked to participate in a Q &

A and a discussion about ourexperiences.

There was a wonderfulturnout, despite the coldmorning. Cassidy Herringtonkicked off the dialogue withher presentation on hermonth-long journey of wear-ing the veil. As I listened tothe familiar story, I alsoglanced around at the audi-ence and found everyoneengaged with faces full ofcuriosity.

As soon as she finished, hands wereraised and she was flooded with questions.What inspired her to wear it? What were thereactions? Would she wear it again?

It was so exciting for me as a hijabi tohave people be so open about asking ques-tions. Whenever I had the opportunity, I inter-jected with my own experiences and thoughtson the subject matter.

An item discussed in the dialogue that Ifound most interesting was a back-and-forthon suggestions for how to talk to people whobelittle or degrade Islam. This sparked amember to talk about how the media wassuch a large influence in driving people to beso angry and to have hateful towards Mus-lims. More so, we all have a responsibility toseek our own knowledge and refute these“facts.”

Whenever I used to hear the word “an-gry,” I connected it with superficial feelingsof anger, lack of control or irrationality.

Meanwhile, the inside is fueled by fear,hurt, disappointed or something equallypainful. When you try to argue with an angryperson by yelling or spitting back, you both

may walk away frustrated. But when youseek to understand what is really underneathit all and get to the heart of the matter, thereis a completely different story.

And in the case of those who feel angeror fear towards Muslims (or vice versa, Mus-lims feeling anger towards Christians), it isintegral to find the source of it.

Were they misinformed from the media?What messages are they getting? What arethey scared of exactly? What personal reasonmay they have to want to put blame on theother? These are just some questions to con-sider.

While I am not excusing pure ignorance, Iam attempting to find that hidden layer thatdrives people to act based on fears rather thancommon sense or knowledge. This is a muchbetter starting point to discussion.

I believe that as human beings, whensomething bad occurs, we inherently feel theneed to blame someone or something else asa possible source of healing, because some-times that feels better than having no expla-nation at all.

All in all, I walked away from the Chris-tian-Muslim Dialogue with a renewed energy.One of the most valuable things I learned ishow easily misconceptions can be brokendown if one just asks. Not only that, but asMuslims, it is also our responsibility to pro-vide an atmosphere where people can becomfortable asking. There's something conta-gious about this atmosphere — my hope isthat the group will only grow and that peace-ful dialogue will spread outside of that roomand into the community.

PHOTO BY COLLIN LINDSTROM| STAFFUK senior Jasmine Minion performed on the balancebeam on Friday, Jan. 21, 2011 at Memorial Coliseum.

UK gymnastics, knownaround campus as the Gymkats,began its new season on Jan. 8with a big opening night.

The Gymkats won their sea-son opener against Illinois andNorthern Illinois with a teamscore of 194.350. After the firstmeet, the team was ranked No. 2in the nation on floor exercise,and seniors Andrea Mitchell andJasmine Minion were nationallyranked No. 1 and No. 2, respec-tively, in that event.

“Floor’s been great, definite-ly helps my confidence,”Mitchell said. “I used to be real-ly nervous on floor, and it’s justgetting better each week assur-ing that I can hit a good routine.Everybody’s doing good onfloor and we just have to re-member to have fun and enjoylife while we’re out there.”

The Gymkats have had solidresults on vault, uneven bars and

floor so far this year. They arenow focusing their efforts on animproved team performance onthe balance beam.

“Beam has always been astruggle for us at Kentucky andmy main goal is figuring outwhy that is and how we can fixit,” assistant coach Heather Hitesaid. “I think that we made a lotof steps toward fixing it as far asif we are falling, we’re still get-ting good scores.”

Hite said the beam team hasdoubts from previous years, butshould continue to strive forgreat results in the future.

“Now it’s just a matter of get-ting the girls to stay on the beam,and that’s a mindset,” Hite said.“That has to come from withinthem. They’ve done plenty ofbeam routines and plenty ofworkouts to where they are suc-cessful inside the gym and nowthey just need to transfer thatinto their competitions.”

Mitchell acknowledged the

impact of having two new facesin the floor team lineup. KaylaSienkowski and Audrey Harri-son have stepped up into thelineup for UK, and Mitchell saidboth are improving each week.

Another freshman, PaigeKrall, is stepping up for theGymkats on balance beam.

“Coming in as a freshman,compared to club (gymnastics),it’s been a lot more pressure,and I’ve been working a lotharder,” Krall said. “Starting onbeam has been extremely excit-ing but nerve-racking at thesame time.

Junior co-captain WhitneyRose said the team is coming to-gether to build a stronger squad.

“This is probably one of thecraziest years to be a team cap-tain just because we have sevennew girls, and that’s like half ofour team,” Rose said. “We justwanted this year to be more.ustto say that we’re a family, to al-most be like sisters and just be

there for one another inside andoutside of the gym.”

Junior co-captain Storey Mor-ris echoed Rose’s sentiments.

“It’s been a different yearthan I’ve expected because I’ma co-captain with Whitney, andit just feels like I’ve had a wholelot more responsibilities thisyear,” Morris said. “This pastweek I’ve seen a lot of differentfreshmen step up.”

The team’s goal this week-end is to compete in all fourevents with confidence.

“I try to tell them that it’s anew year, it’s a new start, it’s anew team. But at the same timeyou’re always going to have alittle bit of those doubts, andthose fears still in your head,”Hite said. “So I think that’s whatwe’re working on now. We’renot really working on the physi-cal aspect of it, but their mentalcapacity of going out there andbeing great is what we’re tryingto look at now.”

Gymnastics overcoming fears on beam

Jarrod Polson playedthree minutes in UK’s winagainst South Carolina.

They weren’t scrub min-utes at the end of the secondhalf. They were first-halfminutes.

UK was leading by ninepoints when Polson enteredwith 9:44 to play. He stayed

on the floor for 44 seconds.He checked in again at the5:45 mark in the first half andplayed 2 minutes and 11 sec-onds.

His playing time came af-ter head coach John Caliparisaw Polson playing harderand better than the rest of thereserves in 1-on-1 drills inpractice.

“He plays physical in

practice with our players,”Calipari said. “I wanted togive him a chance. Whydoesn’t he deserve a chance.”

Polson didn’t record anypoints, but he did attempt alayup on a fast break. Hemissed, but that was besidethe point.

“I thought that was thegreatest thing ever,” Caliparisaid. “Like, ‘I belong outhere.”

For Polson, it must be awelcome sight. He said aweek ago that he was tired ofall the fans yelling at him toshoot every time he got in atthe end of games, a cheer typ-ically reserved for the playersregarded as mop-up role play-ers. Polson is a scholarshipplayer who wants to play.

Calipari said he was com-fortable playing Polson be-cause he plays hard and“doesn’t make mistakes.”True enough, Polson didn’tmake any turnovers.

“We had Jarrod step in,play a lot of quality minutes,”Darius Miller said. “Didn’tmake any mistakes, guardedhis man.”

Pregame mentality Calipari was a little in-

trigued at how his team ap-proached the South Carolinagame, considering UK haddropped its first two roadgames in the conference.

“The thing I got on them(Friday) was you don’t havethe fire, the passion,” Caliparisaid. “This is a practice get-ting ready for a road gameand we just lost. You don’tthink South Carolina is downthere going crazy gettingready for this game? Normal-ly when I would say that tomy team, one of the membersof my team would say ‘Cal,we got this. Just relax.’ Thisteam didn’t say that. But thisteam looked ready inshootaround.”

Calipari and WaffleHouse

Calipari said he had agood sense that his team wasready to play before theSouth Carolina game.

“Just had that feeling.Had a nice lunch at WaffleHouse. That’s usually a goodsign,” Calipari said.
