Education Abroad Di- rector Anthony Ogden re- ceived a Fulbright grant to create an education abroad program for prospective students at UK. The F u l - bright Program offers grants to study, teach and con- duct re- search for U.S. citizens in other countries. In March, Ogden will spend three weeks in In- dia. “It was a prestigious award from President Barack Obama,” he said. Ogden said he will be traveling with some of the top schools in the U.S. While in India, Og- den will be visiting Del- hi, Bangalore and Pune. He will meet with an in- ternational educator and learn the importance of southern mobility. Ogden said he wishes ESPN delivered Monday night’s UK Hoops game in three dimensions, but the Lady Volunteers controlled the Cats in every possible dimension. The Vols out-rebounded, out-shot, created more assists and forced more turnovers than the Cats. UT routed the Cats 91-54 at Thomp- son-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tenn., Monday night. The Volunteer crowd of 14,807 was energetic even before the tip-off as the UT starters were introduced through a foggy entrance to the sounds of loud mu- sic, fireworks and pyrotechnics. “Our fans are always great when it’s at home and just having them bringing a pos- itive, energetic environment — that’s amaz- ing,” Tennessee senior forward Glory John- son said. “I think it helps our team a lot.” The Vols capitalized on the crowd-in- duced momentum and started hot, drain- ing their first two 3-pointers and jumping ahead 10-2, forcing UK head coach Matthew Mitchell to burn a timeout to settle down his team a little over two min- utes into the game. After essentially trading baskets with the Vols for the next 10 minutes of action, the Cats allowed a 21-10 UT run to finish out the half, traling 46-28. “I really thought until the very end of the half we were OK,” Mitchell said. “I just kept waiting for us to make a run and we started turning them over a little bit, we started to get some looks, we just couldn’t make any shots.” The Cats never pulled closer than within 15 points in the second half, how- ever, with the UT lead ballooning to as much as 40 points at 84-44 with 4:37 left in the game. The Vols dominated in nearly every statistical category available for viewing. The Cats connected on 21-63 shots from the field for 33.3 percent. “(It was) just our offensive execution when the ball wasn’t going in the basket,” UK freshman guard Bria Goss said. “I felt like as a team we got discouraged where we needed to see that as adversity, which we go through every day and fight back strong. You know we just need to bounce back.” The Vols were 36-61 from the field for 59 percent shooting. “The players put in a lot of work on their own to getting into Pratt Pavilion (UT’s practice courts) and putting up ex- tra shots after practice since last Thurs- day,” Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt said. “I think you saw a lot of them shoot the ball with confidence tonight.” The Cats are now 0-3 this season when they allow their opponent to shoot greater than 50 percent from the floor, in- cluding the last two consecutive games. “We are not getting as much heat on the ball and we’re not able to pressure, and I think people are handling that,” Mitchell said. “They certainly handled it better the last couple games to make enough plays.” The Vols dominated the backboard, out-rebounding the Cats 45-27. “We worked really hard the last two days in rebounding and defense and I think it shows. When we do those two things, everything else falls in place for us, “ Tennessee associate head coach Hol- ly Warlick said. “It was a focal point. We played with a lot of heart and a lot of ef- fort, and that’s what rebounding is. We had a lot of effort tonight.” The Cats’ signature pressure defense resulted in 19 UT turnovers, but the Cats turned the ball over 20 times themselves. The turnovers led to the Vols having a 32- 15 advantage in points off turnovers. “Kentucky’s a great basketball team,” Warlick said. “They force you to play fast. They force you to take care of index First issue free. Subsequent issues 25 cents.

Sunday’s awards show on CBS was thesecond-most watched of all time, with a giant39 million total viewers, according to Nielsen.
The only Grammy telecast with moreviewers was in 1984, when 43.8 million tunedin. That was the year that Michael Jacksonwon a record eight Grammys. Last year’sshow attracted 26.7 million viewers.
This time, the performer of the evening
was British torch singer Adele, who won allsix awards for which she was nominated. Shealso performed live, as did Paul McCartney,Foo Fighters, Chris Brown, Jason Aldean,Kelly Clarkson and others. The show also fea-tured tributes to Whitney Houston, the 1980sdiva who died over the weekend.
Among viewers 18 to 49, the key demo-graphic for many advertisers, the 3 1/2-hourshow delivered a 14.1 rating, the best since1990.

to become partners withsome of the universities inIndia, and to understand theinfrastructure of India andprovide substantial knowl-edge for a possible programto be offered at UK.
“India is a growingeconomy,” Ogden said.“More students at the Uni-versity of Kentucky willwant to study business in-dustry and agriculture in In-dia.”
Ogden will be teaching
international studies at UKnext year. He said his expe-rience will help him withhis teaching.
“This past year, therewere four to five Fulbright’sgiven out at the Universityof Kentucky,” said SusanCarvalho, the associateprovost for InternationalPrograms. “Anthony Ogdenhas approached students tostudy abroad and has creat-ed a game changer that willconnect to graduation.Many students can look for-ward to a well proposedprogram after the trip to In-dia.”

tor.Gresham said since he’s
known his friends for a longtime, he isn’t nervous.
“Getting married bysomeone you’re best friendswith,” he said, is better than“a pastor you don’t knowvery well.”
The first weddingKarimian officiated was hiscousin’s, and he said he washappy to do it.
He recalled surprisingeveryone at the ceremony
— as the bride walkeddown the aisle, he movedfrom his spot as a grooms-man to the alter where hewas holding a Bible.
He said everyonelooked shocked, especiallyhis aunt, who is the motherof the groom. He thenlooked to his mother, whohad “one of the biggestgrins I’ve ever seen on herface,” he said.
The first thing his momasked him after the ceremo-ny was if it is legal.
And it is legal. The nonprofit organiza-
tion is registered as a
church, and there are nolaws concerning ordinationfor church ministers. Allbut three states recognizethe ministers, Fulton said.
Becoming ordained ismost popular for weddings,Fulton said, however onecould officiate burials or dohospice work at hospitals.
“They don’t become or-dained for religious rea-sons,” Fulton said. “It does-n’t matter what religious af-filiation a minister has.”
It is also a matter ofcost, as it can cost hundredsof dollars to get a minister,he said.
“But if you have afriend ordained, they cando it for free,” Fulton said.“It is more intimate andmeaningful, and less ex-pensive.”
Karimian said he washonored to do the weddingsfor his family and friends,but probably won’t for oth-ers.
“I’m not going to go outand marry just anybody justbecause I could do it,” hesaid.
Gresham agreed.“I don’t really have a
desire to do strangers’ wed-dings,” Gresham said.

Subbaswamy said.According to their web-
site, the biology depart-ment will have a “30-seatteaching laboratory withprep room, office and com-puter labs, and access toshared classroom space inthis building.”
Plans for the renovationbegan last week andinclude the restructuring ofinternal walls and storagespaces.
For its 20 anniversarylast year, Lexmark gave $1million toward the renova-tion.
“We’re very excited
about our role in helpingthe university transformthe former Northside Li-brary into a resource cen-ter for science, technology,engineering and math edu-cation,” Sheri Evans Depp,director of Talent Manage-ment for Lexmark, said inan email to the Kernel.“Our goal is to encouragemore students to pursuecareers in math and sci-ence and help fuel growthand innovation in our com-munity.”
Not only do biologyand education studentsbenefit, but the building isalso an opportunity for the“pipeline of high schoolstudents,” Subbaswamysaid. “It’s a win-win-winsituation.”

the ball. I thought we didthose things tonight. We beata very good basketball teamtonight.”
The Vols had three playersreach double-digits, led bysophomore guard MeighanSimmons with 25 points. Sim-mons was 10-17 from the field,including 3-5 from behind thearc. Senior forward ShekinnaStricklen added 18 points andsix rebounds for the Vols.
Goss led the Cats in scor-ing with 15 points. She sat outmuch of the first half after col-lecting two personal fouls just97 seconds into the game.
UK junior guard A’diaMathies, who scored 34 pointsagainst the Vols a month agoin Lexington, contributed 12points on 5-13 shooting.
“Mathies had a lot to dowith our defeat against Ken-tucky, so she was a focal pointfor us,” Warlick said. “Wewanted to make sure she
didn’t have that game she hadagainst us (earlier). We wereaware of her, where she was,and wanted to make sure shetook tough shots. For the mostpart, except for a stretch at theend of the first half, we did agood job on her.”
Even after the loss, theCats stay alone atop the SECregular-season standings. TheNo. 7 Cats (21-4, 10-2 SEC)hold a one-game edge over theNo. 13 Vols (18-7, 9-3 SEC).Arkansas, Georgia and SouthCarolina are all tied for thirdplace in the league with 8-4conference records.
“(The loss) should proba-bly count as more than oneloss, but it only counts as one,so we are leaving town infirst place and need to findsome way to get it togetherand see if we can earn a vic-tory Thursday night,”Mitchell said. “I think that themost valuable thing we cando is get the DVD (of thegame) and shatter it into athousand pieces and get ourmind focused. We don’t have
much time. We really have toget focused on Alabama.”
The Cats return to actionin Tuscaloosa, Ala., Thursdaynight to take on the CrimsonTide (11-15, 1-11 SEC). TheCats defeated Alabama in Lex-ington 82-68 two weeks ago.
“It is embarrassing
tonight,” Mitchell said. “Wefeel terrible. I wish Kentuckyhad played better. But we havea lot to play for and I thinkthat would be the best thingfor us to move forward andsee if we can play a tough Al-abama team that played ustough in Lexington.”

letter to the editor
This letter is a response to a Feb.9 cartoon published in the KentuckyKernel.
I am writing in response and inprotest to the “funny” cartoon aboutEastern Kentucky accents.
To some, it may come off as hi-larious, but I, along with many oth-ers, find it very offensive.
I am a freshman at UK, whocomes from Eastern Kentucky. Yes, Imay have a “country” accent, but Iam proud of it.
It makes me who I am. Another thing, in the cartoon
Eastern Kentuckians come across asuneducated: “I can tell by your ‘I’s’you are from the country!”
“How can you tell I’m fromEastern Kentucky by just looking atmy ‘eyes’?”
I am an Eastern Kentuckian fromFloyd County who not only was astraight A student throughout school,but I was also on the volleyballteam, track team, captain of thedance team and worked a part-timejob.
I graduated as salutatorian of my
class and received a full-paid Robin-son Scholarship (just throwing thatout there), which shows that I —and other Eastern Kentuckians — areintelligent, classy and friendly.
We have that special Southernhospitality and our accents just helpin making us “southerners” thatmuch more adorable.
Having an astounding sense ofhumor, I also would like to recognizehow unfunny this cartoon was andhow it lacked comedic value.
In keeping with Kentucky’shonor of being the worst runstate in the country (thanks,Forbes), our legislators haverolled out a new plan to transfermillions of dollars — $250 to$300 million, to be exact —from the working taxpayers ofour state to the billionaire con-tractors, under the guise of anew place to play basketball andshop.
Now that I have your atten-tion, let’s go through some ofthe problems with this new “re-vitalization” the city governmentrecently unveiled.
A crucial part of the plan is avast expansion of the Conven-tion Center, including morespaces for shops and restaurantswithin the complex the cityhopes to build.
More downtown activity?Urban revitalization? Well, let’ssober up with a little reality be-fore we get swept up by politicalbuzz words.
The small complex currentlyattached to Rupp is, from what Igather, a microcosm of what thecity hopes this new expanded
center will be. Has anyone beenin there on a non-game day? It’sa ghost town.
Need more proof that down-town Lexington doesn’t need agovernment engineered shoppingcenter? Just look across thestreet at Victorian SquareShoppes and entertainment. Notonly is the place nearly empty,but it seems not even the ownersview it as economically viable; itrecently went up for sale.
The simple fact is if Lexing-ton wants a downtown shoppingcenter, individuals will freelystart and support one.
Aside from the fact that thissort of thing is clearly not eco-nomically viable, why shouldthe government be in the busi-ness of building shopping cen-ters anyway?
Whether or not you sharemy skepticism of the govern-ment’s ability to control theeconomy, you can at least acceptthat the government has betterthings to spend money on thanshopping centers and basketballcourts.
While the people of our statestruggle through a recession, UKstudents face painful tuition in-creases and the legions of excel-lent UK employees face difficultpay freezes; the city and stateshouldn’t be wasting our timeand money with such costly andridiculous operations.
The whole situation wouldbe laughable if only it didn’t
reek of corrupt government in-competence. Without squander-ing money on such vast enter-prises, we’re already barelyavoiding being in debt. Even ifwe could indeed afford such anoperation (which I highlydoubt), why not give the moneyback to the people through taxcuts or spend it on operationsthat all Kentuckians can agreeon, such as education and infra-structure?
If Lexington needed an ex-panded shopping and diningarea, free individuals would cre-ate these things without takingtaxpayers’ money.
While we’re facing big cuts,government deficits and a reces-sion, putting money into a placeto play basketball and a shop-ping center doomed to fail isdownright irresponsible.
As overtaxed and underem-ployed citizens of Kentucky, weshould reject this wastefulness.As students and employees ofUK, we should call attention tothe increasing tuition and flatpay we are forced to endure forpoor state budgeting.
In these times of hardship,the city and state should not begiving our money to thesewealthy and connected contrac-tors. In short, we should roundlyreject the proposed Rupp over-haul.

I am a freshman who camefrom Eastern Kentucky.Yes, I may have a “country” accent, but Iam proud of it.
Marquis Teague appar-ently heard the criticismpointed his way aboutwhether he was the rightpoint guard for this talentedand balanced UK team. Atthe very least, head coachJohn Calipari heard. Eitherway, the doubts wereknown internally.
“When you start get-ting drilled in the paper,and everybody’s killingyou on the blogs — theywere telling us to startDoron Lamb,” Caliparisaid, pointing a finger atone reporter who had writ-ten that very statement.“You start reading that asa player, you’re like,‘What?’”
tened and practiced hard,”Calipari said, “and nowhe’s transformed into whatone of our typical pointguards play like.”
Maybe not quite.Teague still isn’t the sametype of player as DerrickRose or John Wall. But hedoesn’t have to be. Not onthis team, not with theseplayers surrounding him onthe floor.
Teague’s primary con-cern is running the teamand directing the offense— not scoring 32 pointsper game, as Calipari saidTeague thought he could dowhen he got to UK.
Whether it was theblogs, Calipari’s constantcarping, or simply a fresh-man learning the ropes ofcollege basketball, Teague
evolved. He didn’t need toscore to be great.
In 15 non-conferencegames, Teague shot 9.2times per game. In 11 con-ference games, he’s shot7.7 times per game. Hehadn’t shot more than sixtimes in five games untilVanderbilt, when he recog-nized he had a huge mis-match against Brad Tinsley.
And so Calipari’s(very) vocal instructionshave reduced in numberover the last month.
“You can’t really yellat Marquis for how he’splaying,” Darius Millersaid. “He’s being our floorgeneral, getting everybodywhere they need to be, andit’s made us a betterteam.”
Teague has, since thebeginning of the season,been seen as the one playerwho could most determineUK’s long-term success. Ifhe doesn’t emerge as apoint guard capable ofmaking all that talent mesh,
he would hinder thechances at title No. 8 —maybe even be the singlereason it didn’t happen, asSports Illustrated’s SethDavis tweeted last week.
If he does, UK’s collec-tive ceiling pushes higher.Everyone else, alreadyplaying well, can play evenbetter.
At this point, it lookslike the latter will be thecase. Against the best twoopponents in the league,Florida and Vanderbilt,Teague turned in stellargames against both. Hescored 12 points and had10 assists against theGators and then had 13points, eight assists andone turnover (while com-pletely controlling the en-tire first half) against theCommodores.
“My confidence is get-ting back where it used tobe,” Teague said.
The papers and theblogs won’t be there to tearit down now.

LOS ANGELES — WhenWhitney Houston was foundlifeless in her Beverly Hillshotel room Saturday, musicfans heard more than a fewechoes of another 1980s popsuperstar who died suddenlyless than three years ago.
Like Michael Jackson,Houston was a global record-ing force who parlayed R&Bmusic into slick, chart-top-ping hits that defined an era,only to be brought low by acascade of personal woes,which, in Houston’s case, in-cluded admitted drug abuse, adeeply troubled marriage andfinancial travails.
And like Jackson, Hous-ton, who was 48, has seen ahuge posthumous spike insales. Sunday’s Grammys,which, amid the coronation ofthe retro torch singer Adelefeatured recurrent heartfelttributes to Houston, includingJennifer Hudson’s renditionof her biggest hit, “I Will Al-ways Love You,” deliveredthe show’s second-highestratings of all time. The show
attracted nearly 40 millionviewers, according toNielsen, an impressive markthat stands behind only the1984 Grammys whenMichael Jackson’s “Thriller”helped draw an audience ofmore than 51 million.
Yet while the postmortemcelebration and curiosity maybe inevitable, the larger ques-tion remains whether Hous-ton’s passing will, like Jack-son’s, spur a wholesale reap-praisal of a troubled performer— will she be seen as an iconor will she be viewed in amore limited way, as a once-glittering product of the Rea-gan era that made her famous.
While Jackson’s sales hadplummeted for years after hismid-1980s heyday as the“King of Pop,” his 2009death revived his catalog,with more than 10 million al-bums and 16 million songdownloads since then. Hous-ton faces long odds in match-ing that, partly because herestate has less material to sell.Her career encompassed justsix studio albums, not includ-ing soundtracks and compila-tions; Jackson produced 10 asa solo artist, and that’s not
counting the anthologies orhis work with the Jackson 5.
Seven of the top 10 al-bum sellers on Amazon onMonday were by Houston,and her famous 1992 versionof “I Will Always Love You”— one of the best-sellingrecords of all time — wasNo. 1 on the iTunes chart.
Houston’s rich voice isfilling the radio airwavesagain as well. John Ivey, sen-ior vice president of program-ming for Clear Channel Ra-dio, whose network of about850 stations makes it thelargest radio owner in thecountry, said he quickly madethe decision to put Houston’smusic in rotation after wordof her death broke Saturday.
Much of Houston’s ap-peal is generational. For fansof a certain age, her songssymbolized carefree youth,romance and self-discovery,leading to the unmatched featof seven straight No. 1 sin-gles. “I Wanna Dance WithSomebody,” “Greatest Loveof All,” “Saving All My Lovefor You” — each providedthe soundtrack to countlessteenage birthday sleepovers,bachelorette parties and wed-ding receptions.
Since the late 1990s,though, Houston had becomefar better known for tabloidheadlines than music. Her
$100 million deal with Aristain 2001, a record at the time,yielded platinum albums thatnevertheless delivered a merefraction of her earlier sales.Meanwhile, her drug abuseand tumultuous marriage tosinger Bobby Brown becamea perennial source of gossip.
Meanwhile, pop musicmoved on. Today’s chart top-pers hark back less to thesmooth 1970s R&B thatHouston reinterpreted andmore to European dance mu-sic, hip-hop and electronica.Even Adele, who dominatedSunday’s Grammys with sixawards, has more in commonwith blues-tinged singerssuch as Etta James than withHouston’s brand of pop.
But artistic reputationsebb and flow in unexpectedways, and there’s little tellingwhat value future generationsmight find in Houston’s mu-sic — if they listen at all.
“When you reach thatlevel of popularity, it’s be-cause you are an individuallyunique and precious talent,and that’s what sets you apartfrom everyone else,”Caulfield said.
“In death, you can’t com-pare them to anyone else.Their uniqueness is whatmade them a star. ... There’sno metric, no formula to fig-ure this out.”
