FRANKFORT — TheSenate Agriculture Commit-tee agreed 11-0 to pass a billthat would legalize growinghemp in Kentucky.

Senate Bill 50 advancedthrough on Monday, mean-ing the bill can move on tothe full state Senate.

“This is a jobs bill,”Agriculture CommissionerJames Comer told the com-mittee.

Comer believes this billwill create a large influx ofjobs. More than 350,000Kentuckians are out of work,hemp is a crop that will growwell in Kentucky and theU.S. is the only industrial-ized nation inthe worldthat does notgrow hempaccording toComer.

U K ’ sCollege ofAgricultureis participat-ing in a studyof the possi-ble economicimpact of in-dustrial hempto give feder-al delegationwhen they meet with theObama administration. Thisstudy should be done byApril, according to Comer.

Senate Bill 50 establishesboundaries for industrialhemp growers by the Depart-ment of Agriculture. Theconditions include a back-ground check and establish-

ing a license.The bill requires the de-

partment to set the cost ofthe license by administrativeregulation, the Act does notauthorize a person to violatefederal law and requires peri-odic reports to the KentuckyIndustrial Hemp Commis-sion.

U.S. Sen. Rand Paul be-lieves Kentucky should be aleader in hemp productionand showed his support bywearing a shirt made ofhemp.

“This is about a crop thatis legal everywhere else inthe world except for theU.S., everywhere else hasfigured out how to do this,”Paul said.

Hemp growth has histori-cally been banned from the

U.S. becauseof its closerelation tomarijuana.

KentuckyState Policesay it wouldbe hard to de-tect and en-force illegalmarijuana ifhemp is legal.Hemp andm a r i j u a n aplants lookidentical tothe naked eye

according to Kentucky StatePolice Commissioner Rod-ney Brewer.

Brewer raised the issuesthat testing to see if the plantwas hemp or marijuanawould be more of a hassleand expensive.

Cats face Notre DameTuesday night’s tennis preview 4

Wall regaining top formUK in the NBA 4

For the first time in 719years, the leader of theCatholic Church and its near-ly 1.1 billion followers hasvoluntarily resigned.

Pope Benedict XVI, whowas elected by the papalconclave in April 2005, citedfailing health as his reason tostep down from the pontifi-cate. He will leave the Vati-can on Feb. 28.

Benedict, 85, made theannouncement to a group ofcardinals Monday morning,saying “before God, I havecome to the certainty that mystrengths, due to an ad-vanced age, are no longersuited to an adequate exer-cise of the Petrine Ministry.”

This is the first papal res-ignation since Gregory XIIreluctantly resigned in 1415,and the first pope to volun-tarily step down since Celes-tine V in 1294.

David Hunter, who is aCottrill-Rolfes Chair ofCatholic Studies at UK, saidthe move shows a strong dif-ference in personalities be-tween Benedict and his pred-ecessor, John Paul II.

“John Paul was clearlycomfortable with living (anddying) as a public figure,”Hunter said in an email tothe Kernel. “Benedict seemsto be more of a private per-son and one that does not rel-ish the spotlight.”

That public persona the

pope holds is on displaymore than ever this time ofthe year, as Lent begins onWednesday. It will be a diffi-cult turnaround for theChurch with the new regimetaking place near the end of

the Easter season.The papal conclave will

meet in March, Vaticanspokesman Federico Lom-bardi said, to hopefully electa new pope in time for East-

For the first time sinceDec. 3, the UK men’s basket-ball team is ranked in the Top25. Following wins overAuburn and South Carolinalast week, the Cats enter theirbig matchup with No. 7 Flori-da as the No. 25 team in Mon-day’s AP Poll.

UK is riding a five-gamewin streak into Gainesville,Fla., their longest of the sea-son. A winover theGators wouldvault the Catsinto a tie forfirst place inthe SEC. But,with a recordof 19-3,Florida willbe one ofUK’s bestchances toget a mar-quee win.

“It willbe a hardgame for usto win,” UKhead coach John Calipari said.“Let’s put it this way, theywere an Elite Eight team lastyear…and college basketballisn’t what it was a year ago. Sothat’s how good a challenge, orhow big a challenge or howgood of a team they are.”

Florida boasts one of thebest defenses in the countrythis season. The Gators have

held eight SEC teams under 60points and are ranked fourth inthe country in scoring defenseand lead the nation with a+21.5 scoring margin.

They force nearly 15turnovers and make nearlynine three-pointers per game,which can largely be attributedto their experienced guardplay.

“Your guard play has to begood so that they don’t get intothat race where they’re scoringfrom the three and off

turnovers,”Calipari said.

Freshmancenter Ner-lens Noelwas namedSEC Fresh-man of theWeek Mon-day for thef o u r t hstraight week.He hasr e c o r d e dthree-straightdouble-dou-bles, and hisdefense ofGator shoot-

ers will be key.UK has been relatively

successful on the road this sea-son despite their record. Their4-1 road mark in the SEC isnotable, but Florida poses amuch more complete chal-lenge than any other confer-ence foe.

----Prior to the 2012college baseball season,UK coach Gary Hendersonproduced a rather mediocrethree seasons with theCats, combining for an 84-81 record and zero post-season appearances aftertwo in the three seasonsprior.

Fast-forward to thisyear, and Henderson isnewly armed with a five-year contract worth $2.1million after last season’srecord-setting results.

But the mild-tonedHenderson said that such acontract will not affect himpersonally.

“Yeah, my personalityis just not going to changevery much. You know?Your life changes a littlebit but it just doesn’tchange very much,” Hen-derson said. “If you’re partof this league in just aboutany sport I think it’s gameon from day one, I thinkit’s every year and I thinkas soon as you have aweekend where you’resupposed to win three andyou only win two or winone, you’re kind of rightback to where you started,I think.”

Henderson’s 84-81record at UK from 2009-2011 included a 33-57record in SEC play, whichleft the Cats outside of thetop eight in the SEC, andthus outside of the confer-ence tournament under theold format.

In 2012, UK set all-time single season winsrecord at 45 but fell a halfgame short of the SECEast regular season cham-pionship and lost in thesemifinals of the SECTournament.

The struggles of clos-ing out the end of the con-ference season continuedin the Gary, Ind. Regionalof the NCAA Tournament,where the Cats lost in theRegional finals.

Though the 2013squad returns only threeseniors from last seasonwith both primary catch-ers, ex-third basemanThomas McCarthy andright fielder Cameron Fly-nn (who combined for 29of the team’s 56 home runslast season) gone from theprogram, Henderson be-lieves the roster needs tobuild on last year’s tease ofmajor success.

“The end of the sea-son and how that affectsthem moving forward, Ithink that it affects theirrelationships, their per-sonal relationships on theteam. I think that’s impor-tant,” Henderson said. “Ithink they want to do bet-ter for each other. I thinkthey like being here. Theysee we’ve got a chance tohave a really good team,and they want to be a partof that. I think we proba-bly had more kids thathave a positive outlookon summer baseball be-cause of the type of peo-ple they are and maybe

LOS ANGELES — Director-producer-starBen Affleck’s historical drama “Argo” contin-ued its late-inning awards sweep Sunday, win-ning a British Academy of Film and Televi-sion Arts award for best film.

Although snubbed by 2013 Oscar ballotersin the best director category, Affleck alsoclinched a BAFTA for directing in a year thatsaw Steven Spielberg (“Lincoln”) and “LesMiserables” director Tom Hooper shut out ofthe British Academy’s film awards.

“Argo” collected three BAFTAs in all, in-cluding William Goldenberg’s win for editing.“Lincoln,” meanwhile — the odds-on BAFTAfavorite with 10 nominations heading intoSunday’s event — walked off with a singleprize: Daniel Day-Lewis’ win for leading ac-tor.

In the leading actress category, BAFTAvoters honored age over beauty, with 85-year-old “Amour” star Emmanuelle Riva trumpingher glamazon competition — “Silver LiningsPlaybook” co-lead Jennifer Lawrence, “ZeroDarky Thirty” star Jessica Chastain, “Rust andBone’s” Marion Cotillard and the relativelyyouthful 67-year old Helen Mirren, nominatedfor her turn in “Hitchcock.”

Austrian actor Christoph Waltz landed asupporting actor BAFTA for his performanceas dentist-turned-bounty hunter King Schultzin the slave revenge caper-spaghetti Western“Django Unchained.” He edged out “Argo’s”Alan Arkin, “The Master” co-star Philip Sey-mour Hoffman and Javier Bardem’s bow as aBond villain in “Skyfall.”

Presenter George Clooney handed the sup-porting actress statuette to Anne Hathaway forher turn as the forelorn prostitute Fantine in“Les Miserables.” Hathaway bested AmyAdams’ performance in “The Master,” JudiDench in “Skyfall” and Helen Hunt’s turn as asex surrogate in “The Sessions” for the win.

David O. Russell earned the BAFTA foradapted screenplay for “Silver Linings Play-book,” and Quentin Tarantino was honored fororiginal screenplay for “Django Unchained.”

Pixar Animation’s “Brave” nabbed anaward for animated feature. And “Searchingfor Sugarman,” about the rise, descent intoobscurity and pop cultural resurrection ofthe folk-rock performer Rodriguez, claimedthe BAFTA for documentary.

er.“The Vatican, like the

Catholic Church as a whole,is like a big ship, and eventhe death or resignation of thepope does not cause the shipto change its course,” Huntersaid. All of the problems cur-rently on (Benedict’s) deskwill be facing his successor.The interesting question, asalways, is what sort of suc-cessor will the cardinalschoose.”

At the age of 78, Benedictwas the oldest pope to beelected since Pope ClementXII in 1730. Thus, theprospect of a resignation wasalways a lurking possibility.

In a book-length inter-view with Lombardi, com-piled into “Light of theWorld: The Pope, The Churchand the Sign Of The Times”,Benedict hinted that he maybe forced to resign at somepoint.

“If a pope clearly realizesthat he is no longer physical-ly, psychologically and spiri-tually capable of handling theduties of his office, then he

has a right and, under somecircumstances, also an obliga-tion to resign.”

some of the things that wewent through would be myperception of that.”

This year, preseason ex-pectations have turned upsidedown compared to 2012. UKis a consensus preseason Top15 team ranked as high as 8thby polls, which is the highestpreseason ranking for theCats in their history.

UK’s key to the seasonwill be handling the expecta-tions alongside the difficultschedule in the SEC, a con-ference with six other teamsselected in preseason Top 25polls, Henderson said.

“It’s baseball. There aregoing to be ups and downs.You follow the sport, it does-n’t make any difference atwhat level, it’s really impor-tant,” Henderson said. “Ithink the inner confidencethat you know that you’re go-ing to be successful even if

you have some short-termfailure is important. I thinkleadership within a programis important when you have adisappointing game, a disap-pointing weekend. Thosethings happen to every teamin our league, unfortunately.It’s just the nature of thebeast.”

If Henderson and hissquad builds on last seasonlike the 2012 team did, theCats could play its most im-portant summer baseball inprogram history.

But former CIA directorJames Woolsey believesidentifying marijuana andprosecuting should not be aproblem for the US.

“Canada, our next doorneighbor, does not have aproblem distinguishing in-

dustrial hemp from marijua-na,” Woolsey said. “Hidingmarijuana amongst thehemp plants is truly stupid,and they either have to bestupid or very high in orderto take that risk.”

Even illegal marijuanagrowers are against hempbecause it lowers theirplant’s THC levels accord-ing to Woolsey. Due to thelow THC levels hemp pro-

duces, when the pollen ofthe hemp combines with amarijuana plant THC levelsare lowered in the marijuanaas well.

“I think it is importantto realize that people whoare getting high off of in-dustrial hemp are prettymuch like people gettingdrunk off O’Doul’s, it isvery difficult,” Woolseysaid.

“We feel ready,” sopho-more forward Kyle Witljersaid. “We have had a lot oftests before and I feel like weare improving every day, soit’s going to be a great battlefor us and hopefully we canlearn from it.”

Some have compared thisyear’s Florida team to lastyear’s UK team — not neces-

sarily in personnel, but in theway they’ve dominated con-ference foes. The Gators havean average winning margin of+22.6 in SEC games.

“If you’re in cool mode… you’re getting killed in thisgame,” Calipari said. “Youhave to know what the gameis, not be selfish, know whatthe team needs you to do andjust go out and do it. It’s justhard to do it because they puta lot of pressure on you.They’re a very good team.”

A win for UK would be,by far, their most credible ofthe season. It would go a longway to securing the Cats amid-level seed in the NCAATournament.

“We’ll find out where weare,” Calipari said. “We allknow we’ve gotten better …Now, are we ready for thiskind of challenge? We willsee.”

The game will tip at Tues-day night at 7 p.m. and be tel-evised nationally on ESPN.

UK’s Center for Busi-ness and Economic Research(CBER) predicts 2013 willbe a good year for Ken-tucky’s economy.

The prediction has theeconomy of Kentucky out-pacing the economy of theU.S, saying Central Ken-tucky has shown fastergrowth and lower unemploy-ment than the rest of the

state.The forecast was co-au-

thored by Chris Bollinger,CBER director and GattonEndowed Professor of Eco-nomics, and Ken Troske,Sturgill Endowed Professorof Economics and senior as-sociate dean for administra-tion, faculty and research forthe Gatton College.

Bollinger and Troske

both have a “guarded opti-mism” about this year’s eco-nomic prospects of the na-tion, region and state.

CBER is the applied eco-nomic research branch ofGatton College and performsresearch projects for govern-ment agencies at the federal,state and local levels.

The Annual EconomicReport, of which this predic-tion is a part, also examines83 factors affecting Ken-tucky’s economy.

These factors includedata on the performance ofhigh school students on ad-

vanced placement exams inKentucky as compared toother states.

CBER collaborated witha number of groups to pro-duce the report, includingthe Martin School of PublicPolicy and Administration,the Center for Poverty Re-search and the InnovationNetwork for EntrepreneurialThinking.

LOS ANGELES _ TheGrammy Awards gave theirtop honor to British roots mu-sic band Mumford & Sons fortheir album "Babel" on Sun-day at the 55th awards cere-mony on a night that distrib-uted honors broadly to an ar-ray of younger generationacts including New York in-die rock trio Fun., Australianelectronic pop artist Gotye,rapper-R&B singer FrankOcean and Akron, Ohio, rockgroup the Black Keys.

"We figured we weren'tgoing to win because theBlack Keys have been sweep-ing up all day _ and deserved-ly so," Mumford & Sonsfront man Marcus Mumfordsaid after he and his bandmembers strode to the stageat Staples Center in Los An-geles to collect the awardfrom last year's winner, R&B-soul singer Adele.

Pop culture historiansmay look back at 2013, how-ever, not only as the year theGrammy Awards ushered anew generation of performersinto the upper echelon of mu-sic industry accolades butalso as the year the musicbusiness establishment gaveup its long, unsuccessful fightagainst new forms of musicdissemination by embracingsongs and videos that con-sumers soaked up not by pur-chasing them but by way ofYouTube and other Internetoutlets.

"Somebody That I Usedto Know," the wildly popularcollaboration between Gotyeand New Zealand pop singerKimbra, took the top awardpresented for a single record-ing upon being named recordof the year, which recognizesperformance and record pro-duction.

"Somebody ..." not onlywas one of the biggest-sellingsingles of 2012 but also hasnotched nearly 400 millionviews on YouTube, powerful-ly demonstrating the increas-ingly vital role of the "broad-cast yourself" video Internetphenomenon..

"I'm really at a loss forwhat to say after receiving anaward from the man standingbehind us with a cane," saidGotye, born Wally de Backer,referring to pop star Prince,who announced the categorywinner. His partner on thetrack, Kimbra, said, "I feelblessed to be part of thisaward, and I couldn't share itwith anyone more amazingthan this artist here."

Fun. was named best newartist, an acknowledgment ofthe good-time music thegroup brought to the airwaveslast summer largely throughits runaway hit single "WeAre Young," which also has

racked up nearly 200 millionYouTube views.

"All right, I didn't thinkwe were gonna win this one _Frank Ocean, the Lumineers,everyone is so awesome,"Fun. member Nate Ruess saidby way of name-checkingsome of the other nomineesin the category after he andband mates Jack Antonoffand Andrew Dost came to thestage to collect their stat-uettes.

The Fun. song's titlecould also serve as a themefor the evening, which wasdominated by other relativelyyoung acts in the most presti-gious Grammy categories.

Singer, rapper and song-writer Ocean emerged thevictor in the one category thatpitted him directly againstreal-life rival Chris Brown, ashis critically acclaimed solodebut album, "Channel Or-ange," won the urban contem-porary album award. A fewminutes later he got a secondGrammy with Kanye West,Jay-Z and the Dream in therap-sung collaboration cate-gory for their single "NoChurch in the Wild."

Ocean's tuxedo coveredall but his hands, but it ap-peared as he picked up hisaward that his left arm re-mained encased in a wristbrace he'd exhibited Thursdayat the rehearsals for this year'sbroadcast, a remnant of hisscuffle last month withBrown over a parking spaceat a recording studio. LAPDinvestigators looking into theincident said Ocean informedthem that he would not presscharges against Brown.

It was the Black Keys'Dan Auerbach who quicklybuilt up steam as the frontrunner to dominate this year'sawards, taking five statuettesbarely an hour into the show,including producer of theyear for himself and threewith his group, including rockperformance, rock song androck album for "El Camino."

The Black Keys honed inon the fundamentals of rock'n' roll _ big guitar riffs, lust-ful lyrics and a bevy of musi-cal hooks on "El Camino,"which took the Grammy forrock album over Coldplay's"Mylo Xyloto," Muse's "The2nd Law," Bruce Spring-steen's "Wrecking Ball" andJack White's "Blunderbuss."

One of the best reviewedalbums of the group's career,"El Camino" was praised as"a party record, a drivingdown the highway, 'I'm inlove with rock and roll, andI'll be out all night' record" byLos Angeles Times pop mu-sic critic Randall Robertsupon its release at the end of2011. Roberts concluded,"The only question iswhether, this late in the year,this constitutes the best rockalbum of 2011 or 2012. It'llprobably be both." Grammyvoters, however, only had one

choice and gave it the nod for2012.

Auerbach picked up an-other award as producer ofthe blues album winner givenfor Dr. John's "Locked Out."

Fun.'s hit song "We AreYoung," another YouTubesmash with more than 200million views, was crownedsong of the year, bringing tro-phies to the group's songwrit-ers, Antonoff, Dost and Ruessand collaborator Jeff Bhasker.

"Everyone can see ourfaces, and we are not veryyoung _ we've been doingthis for 12 years," Ruess saidas he and his band mates col-lected the award.

Original "American Idol"winner Kelly Clarksonbeamed and spoke effusivelyafter taking the pop vocal al-bum award for her CD"Stronger" in a category thatalso included efforts by Flo-rence and the Machine, Fun.,Maroon 5 and Pink, all ofwhom Clarkson praised dur-ing a rapid-fire acceptancespeech.

"I did not expect to win!"she said excitedly.

Carrie Underwoodgrabbed the country solo per-formance Grammy for the ti-tle track from her album"Blown Away," which alsowon the country song awardfor writers Josh Kear andChris Tompkins earlier duringthe pre-telecast ceremony atNokia Theatre across thestreet from Staples Center,where the big-categoryawards were to be handedout.

The Zac Brown Bandadded to its still-buildingplace as a new-generationcountry powerhouse with awin of the country album tro-phy for its "Uncaged" built onmuscular Southern rock gui-tar riffs, elaborate multipartvocal harmonies and jam-band instrumental excursions.

Last year's big winner,Adele, collected the first stat-uette of the night for her sin-gle "Set Fire to the Rain" inthe pop solo performance cat-egory.

The show got off to aneye-popping start with aCirque du Soleil-inspired per-formance by Taylor Swift ofher nominated single "We AreNever Ever Getting Back To-gether," marking a year domi-nated by relatively youngrock and pop acts in the high-est-profile award categories.

"Welcome to the greatestmusic show on Earth," hostLL Cool J announced at thetop.

The preponderance ofyouthful acts not broadlyknown to mainstream TV au-diences heightened the neces-sity on the show of cross-gen-erational pairings, with risingsongwriter and singer EdSheeran sharing the stage ear-ly with veteran Grammy dar-ling Elton John, while BrunoMars teamed up with Stinglater in the show. Severalmembers of Americana acts,including Alabama Shakesand Mumford & Sons, gave atribute to drummer Levon

Helm of the Band.An extra measure of dra-

ma undercut the awards withheightened security providedby the Los Angeles PoliceDepartment as a massivemanhunt for killing suspectChristopher Dorner contin-ued. Because of the extensivedeployment of officers in theBig Bear area in the searchfor Dorner in addition to abeefed-up police presence inand outside of Staples Centerfor the Grammys, LAPD is-sued a citywide tactical alerton Sunday just a few hoursbefore the ceremony was toget underway.

The Grammys are deter-mined by about 13,000 votingmembers of the RecordingAcademy. The eligibility peri-od for nominated recordingswas Oct. 1, 2011, to Sept. 30,2012. The show aired live ex-cept on the West Coast,which gets a tape delay.

an example for the otherCats to spark the upset vic-tory.

Staff Report

UK softball upsets No. 3 California

John Wall headlined thispast week as his Wizardsnotched three straight winsagainst the Clippers, Knicksand Nets, three of the betterteams the NBA has to offer.

In those games Wallmade strides in the minutes-played category, playingover 32 minutes in eachgame for the first time thisseason, as he continues to re-cover from a knee injury.

The point guard hasproved since his return onJan. 12 that he is the keycomponent to the success ofthe Wizards. That was fur-ther proven in the three vic-tories this past week as Wallnot only played significantminutes, but also averagednearly 16 points, nine assistsand four rebounds, which ispractically identical to hiscareer marks.

Another player who wasthought to be most valuableelement to his team is formerCat Rajon Rondo. TheCeltics point guard sufferedan ACL tear against theHawks on Jan. 25.

Not only did the knee in-jury prematurely put an endto his season, but many be-lieved the playoff hopes forthe Celtics were crushed aswell. However, that pre-sumption has proven to befalse as the Celtics are anunimaginable 7-0 since Ron-do’s injury.

The Sunday night match-up between the Rockets andthe Kings featured standoutperformances from multipleformer UK players. TheKings edged out the victory,117-111 in front of the homecrowd at Sleep Train Arena.

Demarcus Cousinsscored 20 points and addedseven rebounds while onlymanaging to stay on thecourt for 24 minutes due to alosing battle with foul trou-ble.

His back up, another for-mer Cat, Chuck Hayes put ineight points and grabbed aseason-high 12 rebounds.The veteran did all the littlethings that do not appear inthe stat line to help theKings secure the victory inthe fourth quarter over his

former team.“Chuck was like a cata-

lyst for our defense,” Kingspoint guard Isaiah Thomastold the Associated Press af-ter the game. “When he’s inthere he’s always giving us alot of support on the defen-sive end.”

Patrick Patterson, whowound up on the losing end,finished the game with 18points on 50 percent shoot-ing from the floor and six re-bounds for the Rockets, whohave posted a 28-25 record

on the season. Tayshaun Prince, who

has played 5 games with theMemphis Grizzlies since be-ing traded, scored 18 points,hitting all eight of his shotattempts in a 105-88 winagainst the Timberwolves onSunday.

“I wasn’t (perfect). Imissed a free-throw,” Princetold the Associated Press af-ter the game. He tied a fran-chise record for consecutiveshot attempts without a missin a single game.

letter to the editor

(Thursday’s Kernel Editorial: President Bilas, we’re stuck in the mid-dle with you) was garbage; plain and simple.

Think of the UK basketball team. Do you only support them when they’re winning, or are you behind

them all the way?Mr. Bilas has done a phenomenal job as Student Government Presi-

dent. He is loyal to the approximately 29,000 students he serves, just as heis fully committed to serving this university.

I know him to always be in his office, working hard to have a con-stantly greater impact. He represents the university with pride and integri-ty, and he is passionate about his job as president.

I would urge whoever wrote this article to confront President Bilasabout any issue before writing something like this.

You could write about some great things Mr. Bilas has done in histenure as Student Body President.

He is behind #BBNUnited and making strides for big, positivechanges that would benefit all UK students and staff.

He also recently donated $5,000 to the Catalyst Coalition for diversityprogram funding.

About the whole alcohol policy situation, he is working with PresidentCapilouto, reviewing the data and making decisions based on the facts todo what is best for the university as a whole.

Before you write about our Student Government President again, con-front him and get the facts.

It’s not ethical to throw someone under the bus like this and cause29,000 students to question Mr. Bilas’ motives.

I support him 100 percent.Cody Henson is an accounting sophomore and a student involvement

worker in the student government office. Email opinions@kykernel.com.

LONDON _ A growingfood-contamination scandalin Britain widened into acriminal investigation Fri-day, with consumers worriedabout finding horse meat intheir burgers or lasagna.

What began as the dis-covery of traces of horsemeat in uncooked burgers la-beled as beef last month es-calated this week with theannouncement that thou-sands of packages of frozenbeef lasagna were beingpulled from supermarketshelves because they werepotentially tainted as well.

Britain's Food StandardsAgency said the Findus com-pany found at least 60 per-cent horse meat in 11 of 18lasagna products that it test-ed; the meat in at least oneof those was entirely horse.

There have been no re-ports of illness because ofthe contamination. The stan-dards agency has demandedthat the food industry con-duct tests on all processedbeef products, with the re-sults to be submitted nextweek.

"The evidence we haveabout the two cases, of thesignificant amount of horsemeat in burgers and lasagna,points to either gross negli-gence or deliberate contami-nation in the food chain.

This is why we have alreadyinvolved the police, bothhere and in Europe," theagency said in a statementFriday.

In addition to Britain,horse meat has been detectedin beef products sold in Ire-land and Sweden.

Officials insist that theissue is not one of safety butrather of false advertisingand potential fraud. Howev-er, authorities are trying todetermine whether an anti-inflammatory drug used totreat horses may be presentin the tainted products.

"People have been ask-ing whether it is safe to eatany frozen meat products atthe moment. There is no rea-son to suspect that there'sany health issue with frozenfood in general, and wewouldn't advise people tostop eating it," the FoodStandards Agency said.

Horse meat is regularlyconsumed in some Europeancountries, including Franceand Italy. But Britons gener-ally object to the idea ofhorse on the menu, and thescandal is dominating head-lines, with Prime MinisterDavid Cameron's office de-scribing the revelations as"very distasteful."

"This isn't really aboutfood safety. It's about effec-tive food labeling. It's aboutproper retail practice,"Cameron said Friday at an

unrelated summit of Euro-pean Union leaders in Brus-sels. "And people will bevery angry to find out theyhave been eating horse whenthey thought they were eat-ing beef."

The origin of the con-tamination has yet to be de-termined. Findus' supplier offrozen lasagna is based inFrance, but the company hasnot made public the sourceof the meat in those prod-ucts. Suspicion has fallen onsellers in Poland, but Polishofficials deny responsibility.

"This is looking muchmore widespread than just acouple of rogue traders,which is perhaps what wethought at the beginning,"Mary Creagh, a member ofParliament from the opposi-tion Labor Party, told theBBC. "It looks like system-atic, potentially criminal in-volvement in this adulter-ation, so we need to see thepolice being brought in."

The scare over horsemeat follows hard on theheels of another food scandalhere in which a small num-ber of beef pies and pastries,designated as "halal" foodsuitable for Muslims, wasfound to contain traces ofpork. Some of the pastrieswere served to Muslim pris-oners in British jails. A com-pany in Northern Ireland wasnamed as the supplier of thefood.
