Accountants everywhere are in the midst ofpulling out their hair during the 2012 tax season.
With tax forms due April 17, students may justbe pulling out their hair alongside these financial ad-visers with the not-so-new news that their scholar-ships are being taxed.
“I don’t think it is fair to be taxed when somepeople need the scholarship money to live on,” saidKatelyn York, a secondary English education stu-dent. “I don’t personally use my scholarship moneyfor non-educational purposes, but someday I might,and having a place to live and eating is pretty impor-tant.”
The news may not be new, but many students donot know that their scholarships are being taxed bythe IRS when they use the funds for anything otherthan tuition and some other school-related supplies.
For students who are confused, UK’s College ofLaw Volunteer Income Tax Assistance can help.
Student volunteers in this program can help pre-pare taxes for students who have income coming notonly from scholarships but also from wages, interest,dividends, simple self-employment, unemploymentinsurance and other small miscellaneous items.
The university does not inform students that therecipients of the scholarships need to claim the fundson their tax returns, causing some dependent stu-dents to be in the dark.
“It is not the university’s responsibility,” JenniferBird-Pollan, a law professor, said. “Students shouldeducate themselves.”
According to IRS.gov, if the payment of a schol-arship is used for tuition, fees, books, supplies and“equipment” then it is considered tax free. Anythingother than that, including room, board, travel andany other expense, would have to be claimed on atax return.
“Taxes are relatively settled already,” Bird-Pol-lan said. “Students will have to track their spendingthemselves. It all hinges on having good records.”
Bird-Pollan suggested for students to bring everydocument they have from UK, employers and otherwages, and VITA volunteers can see what is tax ex-empt.

Doughnuts and running a5K together don’t seem tooappetizing.
But those who are com-petitive runners and loveKrispy Kreme doughnutshave the chance to participatein an event that combines thetwo.
UK’s Habitat forHumanity campus chapter ishosting the third annualKrispy Kreme Challenge,where participants can com-pete in a 5K race while eatinga dozen doughnuts halfwaythrough.

Jez participated in the racetwo years ago. He was able toeat 10 of the doughnuts andsaid because he couldn’t fin-ish them in time, he “justgrabbed them and ran.”
There are two divisionsfor the race: challenger andcompetitive.

LOS ANGELES — Fox announced Mondaythat it is renewing “Glee,” “Raising Hope”and “New Girl.”
That means “New Girl” is back for a sec-ond season, “Raising Hope” will return for athird and “Glee” makes a go at a fourth.
The “Glee” renewal is hardly surprising.One of the network’s most prized possessions,the musical dramedy has averaged 8.9 totalviewers and a 3.8 rating in the ages 18 to 49demographic. And the buzz surrounding theshow extends behind the scenes as well, espe-cially this season as some of McKinley High’schirpers (Chris Colfer, Lea Michele and CoryMonteith) gear up for graduation. Newepisodes of “Glee” will begin Tuesday, fol-lowing the series’ brief hiatus, and it will like-
ly lay the groundwork for what viewers canexpect in the fourth season.
And it’s just as unsurprising that Fox isbringing back freshman comedy “New Girl.”Starring Zooey Deschanel, the Tuesday seriesis averaging just over 8 million viewers and a4.2 rating in the 18-49 demo. Meanwhile, fel-low Tuesday comedy “Raising Hope” is stand-ing steady with an average of 5.6 millionviewers per week this season and a 2.6 ratingin the young-adult demo.
The renewals come a week after the net-work announced it would be bringing back“Bones” for an eighth season. But still no an-nouncements on the status of “Fringe,” “Alca-traz” and “The Finder.”

“Each year, more andmore people know aboutit,” Andrews said.
The chapter has beendoing promotions andtabling this year, andAndrews said people willcome up to them joking thatthey still feel sick from lastyear.
She said the most shehas heard someone gettingsick was five times during
the race.Jez said one runner two
years ago competed like hotdog eaters compete; therunner balled up the dough-nuts and ate them withwater.
“He manned up and
squished all the donuts andate them,” he said.
At the beginning, hesaid, everyone feels likethey can eat all 12 easily.
“By the third, fourthdoughnut, it’s ineveitbleyou aren’t going to be ableto eat them,” Jez said. “Itwas really miserable —once you get to about six orseven, in the middle of a5K, that’s pretty miserable.”
But though Jezdescribed eating the dough-nuts as miserable, he said heparticipated because it wasfun.

Social media has been arevolutionary platform forpeople to stay connected withone another, but with the in-crease in companies using so-cial media to screen futureemployees, candidates shouldbe aware of what they areposting.
Theresa Spencer from theStuckert Career Center spokeTuesday with students aboutusing social media in a profes-sional way for job searches.
More companies are us-ing social media to screencandidates and are using theinformation they get off theircandidates’ profiles to selecttheir hires.
The presentation pointedout that more than half ofcompanies — 55 percent —look at a candidate’s Face-book page before hiring himor her, and a little less thanhalf — 45 percent — look atTwitter pages.
The discussion showedthat 1 in 4 companies is nowhiring through Facebook re-ferrals, and engineering, salesand marketing jobs have beenthe most sought-after jobsthrough the use of social me-dia platforms.
Spencer said that futurecandidates should be aware ofwhat they are posting and use
simple and effective tips to se-cure that one’s profile will notbe seen in a negative light.
When it comes to one’sFacebook page, make sure the“About Me” section is com-pleted and has all of the up-to-date information on it, shesaid.
Job candidates shouldalso “like” and engage target-ed companies and share infor-mation with them.
“This has led to manycandidates being interviewedand hired,” Spencer said.
Facebook applicationssuch as BranchOut and Be-Known are other tools to usefor enhancing a page and let-ting companies see one’s pro-fessional side.
“I didn’t know that Face-book had apps such as Bran-chOut and BeKnown, and
I’m glad that I was informedand can now use these,” saidMaggie Schwarb, an integrat-ed strategic communicationsenior.
Twitter also can be usedto find targeted jobs or jobopenings by using the hashtagphrase #LexingtonJobs.
Some other tips for Twit-ter include following indus-tries that one is interested inand engage with those indus-tries by retweeting their postsand tweeting back and forthwith those companies.
Also put an “elevatorpitch” in the bio on Twitter,and post a link to an onlineresume. That way, when com-panies look at it they will beable to see a more profession-al side of someone.
“I thought it was a greatidea to have a link to your on-line resume on your Twitterbio, that way a company thatis looking to hire you canhave a direct link to it,”Courtney Pflug, an integratedstrategic communication sen-ior, said.
Since companies are us-ing social media as a majorpart of their hiring processes,no one wants his or her pro-file to come off as unprofes-sional or candid.
“Most importantly it’sabout your visibility in a pro-fessional, engaging light,”Spencer said.

Soulful rock legend War-ren Haynes is noted for beingone of music’s most intelligentand talented blues guitarists ofall time.
Made famous for his workwith the Allman Brothers,Gov’t Mule and the WarrenHaynes Band, Haynes’ insa-tiable talent spreads beyondhis shredding guitar style.
His hard-nosed, loyal ded-ication to making gritty musicand pushing his personal mu-sic limits has crafted Haynesinto one of the most gnarlyand sought-after guitarists andsingers of our time.
The Warren Haynes Bandwill be playing at BustersWednesday. Doors open at 8p.m. and the show starts at 9.Tickets are $25 in advanceand $28 at the door, and theshow is 18-plus.
So you were a fan of the All-man Brothers before you startedplaying guitar with them. Whatwas it like being a part of that?
Well it was such a grad-ual process. I was an AllmanBrothers fan since the time Iwas 9 years old and my old-est brother brought home thefirst record when it was justout, and having two olderbrothers, I got force fed a lotof great music.
Hearing the AllmanBrothers, even at such ayoung age, was very over-whelming. Of course I grewup hearing each record as itwould come out. By the timethe “Live at Fillmore East”record came out I was startingto play guitar and all myfriends that were the same agehad that record. We were allstudying it and very enamoredwith it. Then you fast forward
and I started playing withDickey Betts when I was 25or 26, which was many yearslater and that led to me, threeyears later touring the AllmanBrother when I was 28. Theyreformed after having beenbroken up for 9 years.
They asked me to comealong and at that point it wasreally the only expectations todo a summer tour, an anniver-sary tour and it was nothingreally beyond that but it wentso well that we did it the nextyear and the next year andhere it is 23 years later, I’mstill there.
Has there ever been a mo-ment that it’s all just kind of hityou at once?
I tend to not forget that ingeneral. I’m very grateful forall the wonderful opportunitiesI’ve been given.
You can work your ass offand still not be successful, soI’m very fortunate to haveworked with so many greatpeople through the years.
What was it like playing withsome of the remaining membersof the Grateful Dead: Bob Weirand Phil Lesh?
I started playing with Philin the late ‘90s and it wasthrough him that I was able tojoin the Dead and be part ofthat for 2004 and 2009 whenthey did those tours.
So all the remaining mem-bers playing together was avery special thing. Of courseplaying with any of them indi-vidually was always fun.
You are listed as No. 23 onRolling Stone magazine’s “100Greatest Guitarists of All Time”list. That’s quite an honor.
Those kinds of lists arewhat they are — they’resomeone’s opinions and I ap-preciate that very much. I’mhonored and flattered thatsomeone would think of methat way. I think my list wouldprobably have been complete-ly different but that’s neitherhere nor there. I take more
pride in being acknowledgedfor all the hard work I put intosomething because music, it’snot a competitive sport.
You’ve accomplished somuch as a musician. Is there any-thing you haven’t done yet thatyou want to tackle in the future?
Well I have a lot ofrecords that I want to make asfar as in the process of mak-ing another Gov’t Mulerecord. I want to do solorecords in the future that willbe different from any of thesolo records that I’ve done inthe past.
There’s a lot of peopleI’d like to record with andperform with but obviouslythe list is getting shorter. I’vebeen very blessed to checkmost of my heroes off thatreally long list and againthat’s not something I takelightly.
Who’s an artist that you’velistened to since you were youngand still listen to today?
Oh, there’s so many. I think I was lucky to
come up in a time periodwhen a lot of timeless musicwas being made. All the soulmusic that I grew up listen-ing to, Otis Redding, ArethaFranklin and of course blueslike Howlin’ Wolf, MuddyWaters, Elmore James, B.B.King, Albert King and Fred-die King.
Songs and songwriterslike Roger Waters, Neil Youngand Tom Waits and obviouslyBob Dylan — who I’m anenormous fan of — and BobMarley.
When I listen to stuff likethat, or Van Morrison, or RayCharles, it kind of brings meback to square one.
When I get saturated withmy own disappointment ofmodern music, I’ll always goback and listen to somethingthat I consider timeless and itnever fails. That music is go-ing to stand up 200 yearsfrom now.

Fresh off a conferenceseries win over South Car-olina that was full of offen-sive firepower, UK (18-21,5-7 SEC), led by the seniorbat of Brittany Cervantes,will return to the field mid-week in a double-headeragainst Arkansas (19-18, 3-14 SEC) Wednesday.
The Razorbacks, much
like UK recently, have usedthe long ball to find successon the diamond.
“Arkansas is a goodteam, they do a nice job ofswinging the bats andthey’ve played an awesomeschedule,” UK head coachRachel Lawson said.
In their 37 games thisseason, the Razorbacks havehit 35 home runs for a 0.95average per game, which isgood enough for 31st in the
NCAA and fourth amongtheir SEC rivals.
The bats of sophomoresClarisa Navarro and AmandaGeile set the pace for theHogs’ offense so far this sea-son.
Navarro leads the teamin batting with a .367 aver-age in 120 plate appear-ances. She also leads herteam with 44 hits — 13more than the person in sec-ond and 14 more than Geile.
As part of the team’s 35home runs this season, Geilecontributed seven of thoseon 30 hits in 103 at-bats.
Lawson also spoke high-ly of the Razorbacks’ pitch-ing staff that brings a team3.21 ERA despite startingtwo pitchers in all but fourgames this season.
“They have good pitch-ing and have added to an al-ready good arsenal,” shesaid. “We’re going to haveto make sure we keep theruns down and do a great jobon the mound and thenhopefully bring our offenselike we did today.”
Much like UK, theArkansas pitching staff has
played better than stats indi-cate due to a limited rota-tion.
JuniorC h e l s e aCohen hasstarted 22g a m e s ,made 31a p p e a r -ances, andthrown 15comple tegames for152.2 in-nings ofwork anda 2.75ERA, whichis more than double the sec-ond leading pitcher freshman
Kimmy Beasley’s contribu-tion.
Beasley hasa 5-4 record in18 appearanceson the moundwith a 3.68ERA.
UK’s dou-ble-header isslated for a 4p.m. openingpitch and willbe carried bythe UK IMGSports Networkon CWKYT inL e x i n g t o n .
Game two is ten-tatively scheduled to beginat 6 p.m.

A season-high crowd of3,563 was kept calm as theUK baseball team lost toNo. 19 Louisville 12-0 atCliff Hagan Stadium Tues-day.
The Cats (30-4, 9-3SEC) struggled all night. Theteam with the second-bestbatting averagein the countrymustered up as e a s o n - l o wfour hits, allbut one ofwhich weresingles.
And thepitching didn’thelp either.Five pitchersgave up 17hits, allowingruns on a walkand wild pitchin the eighthinning.
“We didn’t do anythingup to our standards,” UKhead coach Gary Hender-son said. “It was a miser-able night for us. It’s im-portant to remember howthis felt.”
UK starting pitcher A.J.Reed entered the game 4-0with a 2.42 ERA, but theCardinals jumped on himright out of the gate. Theyscored three runs in the firstinning and two in the thirdbefore Reed was pulled aftergiving up nine hits in 2.2 in-nings.
Louisville starting pitch-er Jared Ruxer allowed onlyone hit in the first four in-nings, leaving the game after
6-plus innings. Ruxer allowed no runs
and three hits with six strike-outs. He retired 18 of the 22batters he faced.
“All the credit in theworld goes to Louisville,”junior catcher Luke Mailesaid. “The kid that started forthem was outstanding; one ofthe toughest guys we’vefaced all year.”
S u b s e -quently, theNo. 1-ranked Catsstruggled toamount anysemblanceof a rally.They had aman ons e c o n dwith twoouts in thesixth, butReed flewout to thew a r n i n g
track, his sec-ond such shortcoming of thegame.
“We haven’t had a gamelike this yet this year,” Reedsaid. “We were reallypumped up playing againstLouisville, but it was just
one of those games. It’s alearning experience.”
Louisville (24-9, 7-2 BigEast) hit the ball hard allgame long. They finished thegame with five extra basehits, not including the twosingles off the short, 310-footright field wall.
“Hopefully we make themost out of a loss like this,”Maile said. “We’ll get backand play good baseball onFriday.”
The Cats will try to get itback Friday night when theytravel to Fayetteville, Ark., totake on the No. 9 ArkansasRazorbacks. First pitch ingame one is scheduled for7:35 p.m.

Students can get free foodand a free T-shirt Thursday atAg Bash just by donating ahousehold item.
In its sixth year, Ag Bashwill be from 5 to 7 p.m. at theCorner of Cooper Drive andSouth Limestone outside theAgricultural Science CenterNorth (in the circle).
“It’s a way for our stu-dents to have fun in the midstof the stresses that come at theend of a semester,” CodyJenkins, Ag Student Councilpresident, said in an email tothe Kernel. “The service effortallows us to give back to theLexington community that isso supportive of our college.”
By donating $1 or ahousehold item, such ascanned food or cleaning sup-plies, students can receivefree food and a T-shirt. Allthe items donated will begiven to the Ronald McDon-ald House.
Lisa Slone Cox, the schol-arship coordinator and Ag
Student Council adviser, saidthere will be free food anddesserts, as well as live musicfrom UK student and record-ing artist Hannah Ellis.
“This is the first yearwe’ve thrown in the servicepart with the Ronald McDon-
ald House donations,” Coxsaid in an email to the Kernel.
She said the event is funand keeps growing each year.
Cox expects the turnout toinclude anywhere from 150 to200 people.
Ellis is a country and popmusic singer.
“I hope to see a greatcrowd and that you enjoy myperformance,” she said.
She said she will play pop-ular country music, “andmight even throw in a fewpop songs if the mood seemsright.”
Ellis mainly playsaround town and on UK’scampus, at places such as theCats Den and Tin Roof.
In the event of rain,Jenkins said, Ag Bash willbe moved to the Seay Audi-torium, located in Ag Sci-ence North.
He said it will be a greatopportunity for Ag studentsto have fun by meeting oneanother and enjoying somefree food, live music andgiving back to the commu-nity.
“We are using this yearas a guide, so we don’t haveany specific goals that we’dlike to meet,” Jenkins said.“We just want to show thatthe College of Agricultureplaces student interactionand community service highon its priority list.”
Over the past few years,the frozen yogurt industry haseffectively established itselfas a very competitive market.
The sweet treat frozen yo-gurt, lovingly known as “fro-yo,” first made its presenceknown in the beginning yearsof the economic recessionand is now responsible formore than 20,000 stores inthe country.
The frozen-hit wonderhas been especially popularbecause of its health bene-fits.
“I love it because it’s sogood and doesn’t make mefeel guilty after eating it,”journalism senior Nini Ed-wards said. “And I enjoy allof the fresh toppings.”
When compared to softserve ice cream, fro-yo offersfewer calories (45 calories orless per ounce) and probi-otics, which help with diges-tion.
Despite fro-yo chainshaving spread across cities in
the country, some fear thatthe popularity has begun tomelt.
According to an IBISworld report, althoughfrozen yogurt revenue grewat a 5.9 percent pace duringthe past five years, it isforecast to rise just 2.4 per-cent annually in the next fiveyears.
Local fro-yo store Nati-cakes has started seeingtraffic in the store slowdown.
“We’ve seen a decline inthe year we’ve been open,”Naticakes store owner NicoleErnst said. “I think peopleforget about us … I thinkJamba Juice has affected ussomewhat.”
Despite the recent declinein customers at Naticakes,Ernst still remains confidentin the product.
“We use real yogurt, withlive and active cultures andprobiotics,” she said. “(Cus-tomers) say they can taste adifference in our yogurt …it’s creamier because it’s realyogurt.”
Just a few miles away onRomany Road, fro-yo fran-chise Orange Leaf tries notto focus on the success of itscompetitors.
“We take the philoso-phies of focusing on our-selves and do the best wecan do to the best of ourability,” Orange Leaf storemanager Rachel Cunning-ham said.
However, unlike Nati-cakes, Orange Leaf has aninfluential supporter in itscorner — UK men’s basket-ball head coach John Cali-pari.
“He’s an investor ... heloves it,” Cunningham said.“He genuinely is passionateabout his fro-yo.”
Because of his greatpassion for the frozen treat,and in the spirit of basket-ball, Orange Leaf released anew flavor named afterCoach Cal last month called“Caliberry.” The personal-ized flavor is a combinationof blueberry and cheesecakeflavors swirled together intoone.
Does Coach Cal play arole in Orange Leaf’s suc-cess? Ernst believes so.
“The name of OrangeLeaf definitely draws peo-
ple,” she said. “He tweetsabout them all of the time andit stays fresh in (customers’)minds.”
According to a CNBC ar-ticle, the challenge is retain-ing fro-yo tasters as repeat
buyers. As warmer weather be-
gins to roll around, customersseek for a cool treat that of-fers healthier benefits, whilethe battle for foot traffic stillremains.
Looking forward to thesummer season, the Nati-cakes owner and staff hopemore customers show sup-port in hopes of keeping thebusiness for seasons tocome.

Nominee for “Best NewArtist” at the 2012 GrammyAwards, hip-hop rapper J.Cole is an up-and-comingartist who is most known forhis hit songs“Work Out”and “Can’tG e tEnough.”
“I hon-estly thinkthat J. Coleis one of thebest newartists out,and his stylereminds mea lot of Tu-pac,” Han-nah Zingg, asecondary ed-ucation sophomore, said.
Being a graduate fromSt. John’s University in NewYork is what makes J. Coledifferent from most rappersin the game.
“I like J. Cole as an artistbecause he doesn’t just rapabout money and girls and allthe things most mainstreamartists talk about today,”Zingg said. “He tells storiesto really paint a picture.”
Many believe that J. Coleis going to be one of thebiggest rappers in the future.
“I like that he’s an up-
and-coming artist and he'ssuccessful so far,” BrandonCurry, an integrated strategiccommunication sophomore,said.
Gym Class Heroes, a raprock band from New York,formed in 1997 when headsinger Travie McCoy metdrummer Matt McGinleyduring their high school gymclass, hence the band’s name“Gym Class Heroes.”
The band’s first hit single,“Cupid’s Choke-
hold,” featuredon the album“The PapercutChronicles” in2005, becameNo. 4 on theBillboard Hot100.
Its mostrecent single,“Ass BackHome,” fea-turing NeonHitch, has be-come one of
the most popu-lar songs on the band’s latestalbum, “The Papercut Chroni-cles II.”
Student Activities BoardDirector of Concerts SethMurphy said he is proud ofthis year’s concert committeefor “keeping up with the chal-lenge of producing a duelheadlining show like J. Coleand Gym Class Heroes.”
Floor seats are sold out,but bleacher seats can still bepurchased at the Student Cen-ter ticket office for $10 forupper level and $15 for lowerlevel for students.

Self-publishing made easier
LOS ANGELES — Got a story to tell?Got piles of cash? There’s a new self-publishing service just for you.
Venture Press will help you make abook. It provides hands-on custom serv-ice, including setting you up with aghostwriter and designers for the coverand layout. The company acknowledgesthat creating a book isn’t easy: “It’s anenormous challenge,” according to itswebsite, “requiring hours of concentra-tion and hard work in front of a computerscreen, followed by the arduous task ofturning your words into an actual book.”
Just hours? Most writers labor fordays, weeks and months to write a book.After publishing “The Corrections” in2001, it took Jonathan Franzen nineyears to write his next novel, “Freedom.”
Anticipation was so great that he landedon the cover of Time magazine.
Venture Press’ self-publishing serviceis designed to ease, streamline and speedup that process. But that all comes at apremium: The cost for a Venture Pressbook starts at $100,000.
“Who knows, you might be able topay $100,000 for that service,” said BobYoung, president of the online self-pub-lishing service Lulu. “If you have moremoney than God, why wouldn’t you?”
Lulu, which allows authors to self-publish their books using online tools,has a much lower barrier to entry: awriter-designer can publish a book forfree. Fee-based design and editing servic-es at Lulu range from $700 to $7,000.Compared with $100,000, that’s a steal.
Self-publishing grew out of what wasonce called vanity publishing — smallprivate printings geared for friends, fami-
ly and professional colleagues. Withreadily available technologies for makingbooks emerging in tandem with onlinemarkets for selling books, self-publishinghas become a robust and lively business.“What you’re seeing in publishing is thisremarkable transformation,” Young said.“It’s creating a huge number of addition-al authors who want to be heard, and it’sputting pressure on the publishers to re-duce the number of authors they pay todo the work.”
Self-publishing inverts the longstand-ing publishing model: Where authorshave traditionally been paid by publish-ers, self-publishing asks authors to pickup the tab.
No one knows exactly who mightpay the $100,000-plus cost of a bookwith Venture Press. As yet, the company,launched March 9, has not signed up anyclients.

Inspired by the wildlypopular novel and movie se-ries, the University of Ken-tucky recently finished itsfirst annual “UK HungerGames.”
“It was a brilliant ideaby the executive staff,” saidone member of the PR team.“We have to do somethingto keep UK fans interested,what with basketball beingover now and all.”
Each class, freshmen toseniors, had one boy and onegirl picked from its number.
After a gallant pageantin which the doomed chosendressed in UK paraphernaliaand took pictures with the
Wildcat, the president of theuniversity wished them luck.“Happy Hunger Games,” hesaid to raucous screams.“May the odds be ever inCoach Cal’s favor.”
Contrary to the opinionsexpressed in the books, mostparticipants were nervousand somewhat terrified ofthe prospect of dying.
“I survived State Streetlast week,” the pitiful fresh-man male already consignedto his fate said. “Only to beconquered by the Games.”
The members were thenthrown into the arena whilethe entire campus watchedthem fight to the death.
Fighting would have towait though, as several mem-bers fell victim to the horribleconditions of the arena.
“We placed the Gamesin Kirwan Tower becausewe wanted to challenge theparticipants,” an organizer
said. “So we made them sur-vive in the most squalid ofliving conditions.”
Two participants wereimmediately killed by aswarm of cockroaches andone poor soul was stupidenough to venture over toCommons for sustenance.
“If it were between deathand Commons, I’d choosedeath,” one battle-hardenedsenior said. “You don’t messaround with meats that tasteexactly the same.”
Eventually, after a mas-sacre involving the piano onthe 23rd floor and severaldeaths due to the infamouselevators, two remained.
And the last would sufferthe most grisly death of all.
It is perhaps said best bythe winner herself.
“It was easy,” the cham-pion said, her eyes darkenedinto pools of unfeeling lethar-gy that can only be wrought
upon the field of battle. “Ijust waited until a Sundaynight and then locked him inone of the bathrooms. Theydon’t clean the bathrooms un-til Monday morning.”
Stop reading, dear read-ers, I implore you. Thethoughts are painful enough.
Faculty and staff saidthat, overall, they were satis-fied with the first annual UKHunger Games, and planswere already beginning fornext year.
“Maybe next year we’lldo them in K Lot!” one en-thusiastic participant said.
And that, dear readers, isthe Lukewarm Truth. Notquite hot, but definitely notcold.
The editors of the Ken-tucky Kernel neither confirmnor endorse the ideas andopinions expressed in this ar-ticle. Because, really, who intheir right mind would?

letter to the editor
This letter is a response toan April 9 column titled“Coal industry vital to UK,commonwealth.”
As Mr. Phipp correctlyacknowledged, Kentucky iscurrently dependent on coal.
This relationship has beenquite destructive to the localand global environment, asone simply needs to see theiconic images of a mountain-top removal “restoration” siteto understand.
However, Mr. Phipp is notcorrect in his assessment ofjob figures related to coal inKentucky. According to a2006 report by the MountainAssociation of Communityand Economic Development,in 2004 only 13,000 jobswere direct coal mining jobsin Eastern Kentucky.
This number has contin-ued to dramatically decreaseas coal companies continue tochoose profits over people
with their increased mecha-nization of the industry.
It goes without questionthat at one time the economyof Kentucky was dependenton the industry, but accordingto the same report, less than 1percent of the jobs in Ken-tucky were directly a result ofthe coal industry.
These figures are quiteremarkable to those who areaccustomed to the coal indus-try rhetoric describing theimportance of mining in ourgreat state.
In a report published in2011 by Harvard professorPaul Epstein, the coal indus-try actually cost the U.S. $500billion.
Beyond health problems,add the cost of coal’s effecton land use, energy consump-tion and food prices, plus thecost of toxic waste spills andcleanup. This figure showshow detrimental this industrytruly is.
Coal is a finite resourceand we need to start movingto alternative sources to help
future generations make aneasier, quicker transition.
Many studies have proventhat geothermal is viable inKentucky, and the universityadministration is pursuing thisoption in their new dormito-ries.
Kentucky actually has ahigher solar potential thanGermany and it is the highestsolar producing country in theworld. There are regions ofEastern Kentucky where windis a viable resource.
Some might like to callour incessant pleas idealistic,but the overwhelming scien-tific research would not onlycall it realistic, but mandatoryif we want our children tolead happy, healthy lives.
Please be creative in yourcritical thought about thisissue and understand thatindustry and corporate rheto-ric is meant to do one thing:blind the public from the truthto increase profits.

Usually, when we think about nutri-tion, we think about weight loss. Butthat’s only part of it.
What about vitamins, minerals, fiberand anti-oxidants? The trick is balancingout how much we eat, with what we eat.
Fad diets usually only focus on theweight management piece. For example,some diets suggest cutting out all carbohy-drate foods. The problem isn’t the carbo-hydrates themselves — it’s the amount ofcarbohydrates.
Or, how about a diet that recommendsonly eating cereal for breakfast and lunchalong with a sensible dinner.
This doesn’t allow enough room to fitin all the nutrients you need from the otherfood groups.
Also, it’s hard to eat sensibly whenyou’re ravenous after only eating twobowls of cereal all day!
Yes, as a society, we do need to workon maintaining a healthy weight and thiscan be done with portion control. Unfortu-
nately, portion control is something thatour culture is not very good at.
We are so skewed from what a normalportion is supposed to look like — whenwas the last time you got a 12-ounce canof pop from the vending machine? And welike to get more for our money. We loveking-size candy bars, buffets and largeoval platters rather than regular, circularplates full of food.
However, we also need to think abouta dietary intake that includes heart-healthyfats, fruits, vegetables, low-fat dairy, highfiber foods, whole grains and lean pro-teins.
If we eat healthy and watch our por-tion sizes then we can have room fordessert or something fried — occasionallyand in moderation, of course!
March was National Nutrition Monthbut it’s always a good time to think abouteating healthier.

wednesday 04.11.12 page 8kernelsportssam rothbauer sports editor | [email protected]
Wednesday is one of the mostimportant days for UK’s 2012-13season.
The top two recruits in theclass of 2012, center Nerlens Noeland guard Shabazz Muhammad,will announce their college deci-sions on an ESPNU signing dayshow at 7:30 p.m.
Both have UK on their lists offinal three schools. Noel, whomany consider as good a shot-blocker as Anthony Davis, is also
considering Syracuse and George-town.
Muhammad, an elite scorerwith an intensity often ravedabout, is also considering UCLAand Duke.
Get one, and UK is set upnicely for next year. Get none,and the potential roster startslooking thin. Get both, and UKbecomes the national title fa-vorite — again.
Where will they go? That’swhat everyone’s trying to figureout, but these two players havekept their decisions so concealedwe likely won’t know until the an-nouncement is made on TV.
Noel, for his part, wrote in hisESPN blog Tuesday that he hadn’tactually decided yet, despite being24 hours away from having tomake a commitment. He said hewould see where he’s most com-fortable with going. And, in hisown words, here’s his breakdownof the three schools from theESPN blog:
“I look at Syracuse and I lovethe way that the coaches saythey’ll use me in their offense. Ireally like the family atmospherethere and I feel really comfort-able there. Syracuse has been onme the longest of all threeschools and thatis big for me.
“Thenyou’ve gotGeorgetown,and I really justlike everythingabout them.When I wentdown there withmy mom, it re-ally opened my eyes to what theywere all about. I have to factor inwhat a school like that can do forme, even away from being a bas-ketball player. It’s just a greatschool and they have a history ofdeveloping big men.
“Then there’s Kentucky.“Of course they’re coming off
the national championship, but I’dlook more athow I’d be ableto fit in andhow I’d be usedthere. I’d factorin what my rolewould be offen-sively, like An-thony Daviswith a lot oflobs and catch-
ing it at the high post and thingslike that. Defensively, I think it’lltake care of itself.”
The consensus is that Noelwill go to UK. In an ESPN poll offellow high school seniors onMonday, 10 of the 12 predictedNoel would go to UK. In a poll ofESPN recruiting experts on Tues-day, 6 of the 7 predicted he wouldgo to UK.
Of course, Noel denied havingmade up his mind and wrote thatthese predictors were “sleepingpretty hard on the other schools.… I have 100 percent not madeany decision yet because I reallydon’t know.”
Muhammad doesn’t have apersonal blog to get inside hismind. The consensus is — well,there’s none.
In that ESPN player poll, UKand UCLA received five voteseach, while in the expert’s poll,UCLA received four votes toUK’s three.
It seems to be a pretty evensplit — does he go to the Bruins,hoping to lead a resurrection ofthe program and be the clear al-pha dog there, or does he choosethe Cats and have the best shot ata title but have to fit in with mul-tiple other talented players?
We don’t know now. We willWednesday. And then we’ll knowa lot more about what to expectnext year.

Robinson enteringNBA draft
LAWRENCE, Kan. — On Mondaymorning, Thomas Robinson waited up-stairs in the Kansas athletics officesnext to Allen Fieldhouse. He had beenup all night, trying to scratch a fewthoughts on paper or figure out the rightwords to say.
His little sister Jayla was in town. Itwas her ninth birthday. And now,Robinson had to walk downstairs withJayla and face a room filled with re-porters, friends and coaches. The rightwords had never come.
“I couldn’t get anything,” Robinsonsaid.
For Robinson, most of Mondaymorning was mere formality. WithJayla and KU coach Bill Self flankinghis left and right, Robinson announcedthe expected: He will forgo his seniorseason at Kansas and enter the NBADraft.
In some ways, the decision wasstraightforward and easy. He was aunanimous All-American during hisjunior season, averaging 17.7 points and11.9 rebounds per game while leadingKansas to the NCAA championshipgame. He was selected Big 12 player ofthe year, and he’s projected to be a top-10 pick in this summer’s draft, June 28in Newark, N.J.
But in other ways, Robinson said,so much of this decision was tethered tothe birthday girl sitting to his right. Ithad been nearly 15 months since Jaylahad called her brother from WashingtonD.C. to let him know that their mother,Lisa Robinson, had died suddenly. Fi-nally, Robinson was able to take thenext step in what he says has been apersonal mission.
“I’ve got a chance to take care ofmy family,” he said.
On Monday, Jayla leaned in closeand smiled at all the attention on her bigbrother. When asked whether there was
anything specific he wanted to buy forJayla, Robinson paused and stumbledon his words for just a second.
“Whatever it is she wants,” he said.Robinson also lost both maternal
grandparents within weeks during hissophomore season, and his personalstory has been well-documented duringthe last year.
“When you really think abouteverything that this young man hasbeen through going back about 16months, 15 months,” Self said. “Andthink about the sacrifices he’s made,think about the long nights, the sleep-less nights, all the things that are goingon; to remain focused, to do well inschool, and to represent our universityin a way that almost brought us a na-tional championship.
“It’s pretty amazing.”So while family tragedy provided
the backdrop for the last year, it was anon-court transformation that will allowRobinson to guarantee himself millionsin the NBA. Robinson, a WashingtonD.C. native, arrived on campus in 2009as a power forward from BrewsterAcademy (N.H.), a player that had justone college offer heading into the sum-mer before his senior season.
During his first two years on cam-pus, Robinson showed flashes of his in-tense drive and dominating physicalprowess. But he was mostly buried onthe bench behind future NBA first-round picks Cole Aldrich and Marcusand Markieff Morris. Robinson playedjust 7.2 minutes per game as a freshmanbefore nearly doubling that in his soph-omore season.
Still, Robinson’s physical giftspiqued the interest of NBA scouts, andsome thought of Robinson as a poten-tial first-round pick last season. Robin-son says he wasn’t ready — physicallyor mentally.
“I would’ve got eaten alive,” hesaid.
One year later, he’s ready.
