RIGHT: UK Hoops’ bench stands up as the team rallies late in the second half of their second-round NCAA game against North Carolina. UK cut the lead to two with less than eight minutes remaining, but couldn’t complete the comeback. UK finished 25-9 a year after making an Elite Eight appearance in the NCAA Tournament. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Neither head coach Matthew Mitchell nor senior Victoria Dunlap wanted her final game in a UK uniform coming in the fashion it did. Though she and her teammates bat- tled until the final buzzer, No. 5 seed North Carolina was too much for the Cats, as they fell 86-74 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament Mon- day night. “It was a real uncharacteristic game for us,” Mitchell said. “There is no in between for us; we, for whatever reason, just weren’t in tune tonight. Our style of play is feast or famine … we looked re- ally bad tonight.” UNC mounted a 14-5 run in the fi- nal 3:46 of the first half, in which it hit its first two threes of the game. UK’s only points in those minutes came from free throws. And though the scoreboard showed a bleak 40-30 halftime score in favor of the Tar Heels, things didn’t clear up much for UK after the break. UNC led the full 20 minutes after halftime, but at the 10-minute mark, things changed. UK came roaring back. The Cats cut the lead to one posses- sion three different times in the second half, but each time the Tar Heels re- sponded. When it seemed UK had the comeback completed, it fizzled again, letting UNC slip further away, eventual- ly losing by 12. Mitchell said he couldn’t have been more disappointed with UK’s “unin- spired play,” as well as his inability to prepare the teams for the matchup against the Tar Heels. “It was one of the most disappoint- ing performances I’ve ever seen from our team here at Kentucky,” he said. “I just feel terrible that somehow I couldn’t get us more inspired to play in the NCAA Tournament, I feel really bad about that.” It was the battle of the boards that told the story, showing 55-31 in favor of UNC’s lengthy lineup, which also post- ed eight blocks against UK. But neither the players nor coaches wanted to credit the loss to UNC’s height. “I don’t think their size had anything to do with it,” Dunlap said. “We’re used to playing teams that size. It was just a matter of us not coming into the game and playing the way we needed to … We just didn’t pull through.” Close to a comeback By Chandler Howard [email protected] See HOOPS on page 2 UK falls 86-74 in second round to UNC Students will have the opportunity to see three-dimensional art from one of UK’s own on Tuesday.

Be My Designated Driver and Rent-A-Dri- ver are designated driving companies that transport customers home in their own vehicles, eliminating the hassle of having to re- trieve their cars in the morning. BeMyDD provides a personal driver service in which drivers will arrive at a pickup location, drop off their own cars, get into a customer’s vehicle and transport the cus- tomer and his or her pas- sengers wherever they want to go within a 50- mile radius of Lexington. “It’s like being chauf- feured around in a limou- sine, except you are in your own car,” said Be- MyDD Customer Service Representative Aleksan- dra Lenovski. The driver will wait inside the vehicle until the customer is ready to go home. Drivers are dressed in a shirt and tie, but will adjust their attire upon a customer’s re- quest. The fee is $12.50 an hour with a 3-hour minimum required. Reservations should be made ahead of time. The company started several months ago and has expanded to serve al- most 20 cities across the nation. BeMyDD now operates in Lexington, Louisville and Northern Kentucky areas. The service provides transportation for events such as airport transfers, medical care, weddings, corporate affairs and bar hopping. “The experience is much more personal than a cab,” Lenovski said. “Customers are able to drink freely without hav- ing to worry about find- ing a driver to take them home later.” RAD offers a pick-up service for people already out and in a need of a ride, but who do not want to leave their car at the bar. “RAD serves anyone who drives a car and drinks,” said RAD part- owner Jeff Shepherd. “Our customers are gen- erally young to middle- age professionals who have more to lose if they were to get a DUI. We will pick up customers anywhere in Lexington. Just call and tell us where you are, what kind of car you drive and where we should meet you.” Two drivers will ar- rive at the pickup loca- tion. One driver will drive the customer’s car home while the partner follows in the original car. Drivers wear yellow neon shirts so customers notice them when they ar- rive. RAD is a local busi- ness created in September 2008 by Jeff Shepherd, Bane Shepherd and Kevin Bailey. “We saw a need for a driving service that pre- vented anyone from get- ting behind the wheel when they should not be driving,” Shepherd said. These businesses ben- efit customers in addition to receiving a safe ride home. “Customers only have to use our service on their way home, versus having to pay a cab for both a trip to and a trip from the bar,” Shepherd said. “You may wake up with a hangover,” Shep- herd said, “but at least your car is parked in your garage.” RAD charges a $10 fee, plus $2 per mile. The company requires a $20 minimum. The com- pany asks customers call 20 minutes before they need to be picked up. BeMyDD also offers a pick-up service similar to RAD. The fee is $25, plus $2.95 for the first 10 miles and $1.50 for each additional mile. The com- pany asks customers pro- vide at least one-hour no- tice before they need to be picked up.

LOS ANGELES Once upon a time, in afair and distant land known as Los Angeles,comedian Paul Reubens debuted a stage showcalled "The Pee-wee Herman Show." It airedas an HBO special in 1981 and led to "Pee-wee's Big Adventure," which was director TimBurton's breakout film, and soon Reubens wasstarring in "Pee-wee's Playhouse," a successfulchildren's show that ran on CBS for five years.Then, in 1991, Reubens was arrested for inde-cent exposure in an adult theater and the showwas shut down permanently. But permanentlyis a very big word, and last fall, a new incar-nation of "The Pee-wee Herman Show" ap-peared on Broadway to mostly favorable, ifbrief and nostalgia-soaked reviews. Now thereis another HBO special, "The Pee-wee Her-man Show on Broadway," which airs Satur-day. A renewed interest by Burton has notbeen mentioned so the cycle may have to stophere; talking chairs, wild-eyed adult hosts andwiseacre asides are not quite as groundbreak-ing as they once were in children's television."The Pee-wee Herman Show on Broadway" isnot, by the way, for children, despite the faith-ful (if enlarged) re-creation of the television'sshow famous set, with its bright colors, an-thropomorphized accoutrement and wackydrop-in visitors. For every three kid-friendlyhallmarks the secret word, jokes about toiletwater, Pee-wee's childish rejoinders ("I knowyou are but what am I?") there's a decidedlyadult double-entendre. Masturbation is refer-enced at least twice, abstinence rings are dis-

cussed, and the local firefighter shows off hiscalendar shot which requires, apparently, threepages to accommodate his "hose." Reubens'ability to capture childhood's heady blend ofwonder and narcissism while throwing a fewknowing winks at the adult audience was oneof the chief reasons Pee-wee and his showwere so successful. He threw tantrums, heteased his friends, he said the sorts of thingsreal kids said in a voice that both embracedand mocked youth. Before there was Sponge-Bob, or, for that matter, "South Park," therewas Pee-wee, sweet and bratty, innocent andknowing. Despite growing older, Reubens re-mains slender and graceful. But while hisvoice is as elastic as it ever was, his face hasundeniably aged, which adds to the occasionalcreepiness factor of the show. Pee-wee was al-ways a boy-man, but Reubens is pushing 60;when he is flying through the air singing "I'mthe luckiest boy in the world" the words "Sun-set Boulevard" do come unfortunately tomind. Still, fans of Pee-wee will no doubt de-light in a return to those strange and halcyondays before the Wiggles and Blues Clues tookover the world, when Barney was still FredFlintstone's sidekick and not a purple dinosaurand Pee-wee's multigenerational appeal wassubversive and unique. Just make sure yousend the kids to bed, unless you really want toexplain why Jambi is so excited to finallyhave hands.

The Cats cap their season25-9 overall and 11-5 in theSoutheastern Conference. ForDunlap, along with fellow

seniors Carly Morrow andAmber Smith, the loss con-cludes the third-winningestsenior class in UK history. It’sa class Mitchell described lessas athletes and more as “fam-ily who will always have ahome in Lexington.”

“Thinking about where Istarted from, it means a lot(playing for UK),” Dunlap said.“Just being the player I am now,I’ll never forget it. I love thisprogram, love this school. I’mgonna miss it.”

It was bad enough for theBig East that it got pummeledon the court during theNCAA Tournament's firstweekend. But the TKO camein the CBS/Turner studioSunday night, and it hurtnearly as much. By the timethe conference's most vocalcritic, Charles Barkley, wasdone with one of its most visi-ble personalities, Louisvillecoach Rick Pitino was all butbowing in submission.

"Charles, you made somegreat points," the guest ana-lyst said as Notre Dame fellbehind Florida State by 20

points."I'm licking my wounds. I

got knocked out in the firstround; now the Big East isgoing under. I might as welljust start swimming in theEast River."

By that point, evenBarkley was feeling merciful."You know I love you," hesaid to Pitino.

That exchange was pre-ceded an hour or so earlierwhen Barkley matter-of-factlysaid No. 2 seed Notre Damewould lose.

Barkley promptly reiterat-ed that the Big East did notdeserve 11 bids and lacks elitetalent; he also derided "theseother idiots on other net-

works" who praise the confer-ence.

Pitino earlier halfhearted-ly tried defending the BigEast but eventually threw inthe towel and mostlyclammed up.

The four-channel formatalso has hugely increased thetime studio analysts have toexpress themselves.

The network culture clashcan be jarring, as when CBS'Greg Anthony stuck to soberanalysis while seated next toTNT's raucous NBA frathouse of Barkley, KennySmith and Ernie Johnson.

The star as usual wasBarkley. He is even moreannoying when he is right.

tuesday 03.22.11 page 3kernelopinionsCome out and show that UK cares

about the climate! As carbon emissionscontinue to increase from human activities,

the woes of climatechange intensify.

The EnvironmentalProtection Agency foundthat greenhouse gas emis-sions caused by human ac-tivities increased by 14percent from 1990 to2008.

The first step in thismovement for action is toacknowledge that increas-es of greenhouse gases(GHGs) in the atmospherelead to a series of nega-

tive effects on the environment, which in-clude but are not limited to: increasedwarming, increased precipitation, increasedintensity of tropical storms, acidification ofoceans, decreased area of arctic sea iceand glaciers and a shift in optimal habitatfor flora and fauna. It is easy to see thatthe severity of climate change is no laugh-ing matter.

As the “Wildcat Coal Lodge” startsconstruction, the UK student body needs tomake its voices heard and make it knownthat it is taking the effects of climatechange seriously. This is an issue that tran-scends political beliefs and religious beliefsand affects all of us.

In order to raise awareness of climatechange on campus, two events are beingorganized for Earth Hour.

Earth Hour is a World Wildlife Fundglobal climate change awareness celebra-tion during which places all around theglobe turn off their lights for one hour on

Saturday, March 26, at 8:30 p.m. in a sym-bolic display of unity for positive environ-mental action (www.earthhour.org). So ifnothing else, turn off your lights for anhour!

However, some cool folks on campus(Student Sustainability Council and Earth-days in the Bluegrass) have organized theevents listed below to help get the wordout on climate change. Check ’em out!

The Earth Hour Climate Change Panelis happening Thursday, March 24, 5 p.m.— 6:15 p.m. in Davis Marksbury Auditori-um. This will be an open and diverse dis-cussion about several climate change topicswith Shane Tedder, David Atwood andTom Webb. Come and learn about how UKand Lexington are working towards a moresustainable community and what you cando to help!

Earth Hour Outdoor Concert is goingdown Saturday, March 26, at the UK Out-door Amphitheater (behind Memorial Hall),6:30 p.m. — 8:30 p.m.

Come out and listen to free live musicby Coralee and the Townies and SundownService in the beautiful outdoor amphithe-ater. It will be good people and good mu-sic, with an opportunity to sign a petitionfor the future UK president to join thePresident’s Climate Commitment.

Please come out and support thesewonderful events. UK needs more positiveenvironmental change and you should be apart of it! Because in the end, what’s thedownside of mitigating climate change? Acleaner, less polluted world?

It was the kind of game UK might not have won inJanuary. That gritty, comeback win against West Vir-ginia.

Not when they didn’t value the importance of everypossession, no matter the stage of the game.

“We let certain balls get away,” Brandon Knightsaid of the team’s play earlier in the season. “I thinkgoing through those times helped us, let us know, thatkey possession could have won us that game if youwould have got us. Now guys are going after that, like,this could be the game winner.”

Not when they didn’t stay true to the game plan atthe end of the game.

“We panicked more in the clutch than we do now,”Terrence Jones said. “We aren’t afraid of making mis-takes.”

Not when they were hesitant to talk to each other,to get on each other when mistakes were made.

At one point in UK’s win against West Virginia,Knight looked at head coach John Calipari, wanting thecoach to direct Terrence Jones to get in the post. Cali-pari told Knight to tell his teammate that himself.

“They love each other so there’s no big deal aboutit, and they can laugh about it later, but that’s what agood team can do,” Calipari said. “They can get oneach other. They know it’s not personal.”

The transformation even stretched to toughness —something Calipari has implored his team to developthroughout the year. Facing a team that prided itself onoutworking opponents to compensate for a lack of ath-leticism, UK was the one fighting for everything.

“Coach used to talk about us not being tough, ortough enough, he would say,” Darius Miller said. “Heactually called us tough after the game today. That’s abig step for us.”

The road losses were blows to the psyche of theteam, but Calipari continued insisting that UK wouldend up where it needed to be come March. It’s lookedthat way recently, with the SEC Championship Tourna-ment title and two wins in the NCAAs.

They were all learning losses. Not closing down the stretch, a hesitancy to take

(and make) the big shots, a maddening disposition toturn the ball over when points were needed. Followingone of those losses, at Florida, Calipari was frustratedand bewildered. But the day after, he maintained thatthe loss was good — it let the team know that it had toimprove, rather than thinking the wins would continuewith that type of play.

So now, in two games of the pressurized lose-and-go-home setting, UK is doing what it’s had to do to setup a matchup with Ohio State.

“Our main thing is, survive and advance,” Knightsaid. “And we did that today. Hopefully we can contin-ue to do that.”

Losses provided lessons that help now

No matter what age orethnicity you are, you havemost likely used some formof beauty or cosmetic prod-ucts. Whether it is makeup, afacial cleanser or a hydratingmask, we’ve all run into itsomehow.

What I don’t understandis if almost every ethnicityconsumes beauty and cosmet-ic products on some level,why aren’t more “ethnicfaces” represented in cam-paigns?

Why aren’t we as minori-ties properly represented?

Yes, there are campaignswith both men and womenrepresenting various ethnici-ties, but these few campaignsare far from enough.

Thankfully, beauty pow-erhouse Estee Lauder is step-ping up to the plate.

Last week, the companyheld an event to introduce itsnew campaign: “EveryWoman Can Be Beautiful.”

At the event, Aerin Laud-er, senior vice president andcreative director for the com-pany, presented attendees

with statistics on the demo-graphics of skincare con-sumers.

According tofashionista.com, she present-ed increased diversity, a hugeHispanic population and thefact that the 40 percent ofwomen buying skincare in the18-44 age bracket who arewomen of color seem to final-ly be making an impact oncosmetics and skincare com-panies.

“Estee Lauder has alwayssearched for global beautiesthat define a generation,”Lauder said.

The new faces of thecampaign are Puerto Ricanmodel Joan Smalls, who hasappeared in Gucci, Prada,Valentino and Givenchy fash-ion shows and on the pages ofCosmopolitan and Vogue, no-table French model Con-stance Jablonski and EsteeLauder’s first Chinese beauty,Liu Wen, who is also thefirst-ever Asian Victoria’s Se-cret runway model.

In June, Estee Lauder willlaunch its new skincare line,Idealist Even Skin tone Illu-minator. The new line willfeature two products, “EvenSkintone Illuminator” and“Cooling Eye Illuminator.”

According tofashionista.com, the EvenSkintone Illuminator address-es skin tone issues that arepresent in all ethnicities, likeredness, blotchiness, discol-oration and acne scars andwill available in stores thisJune.

PHOTO BY BRITNEY MCINTOSH | STAFFTerrence Jones, left, and Eloy Vargas, right, celebrate UK’s win over West VirginiaSaturday. UK is on an eight-game winning streak.

Ten times out of 10, JohnCalipari will take talent overexperience.

That’s the UK headcoach’s mantra when it comesto molding his roster, and it’sserved him well: With the winover West Virginia, Calipari’steams have made a Sweet 16appearance, at a minimum,for six straight seasons.

Calipari is thought of asone of the coaches who besttakes advantage of the one-and-done (a player who playsone year in college beforeturning pro), but prior to lastyear’s UK team loaded withfour freshmen contributingbig-time minutes, his teamswere not abundant with fresh-men talent.

In fact, Calipari’s 2007-08Memphis team that lost toKansas in the national cham-pionship game only includedone freshman, Derrick Rose,as an integral part of theteam. Except for Rose, theother four starters — RobertDozier, Antonio Anderson,Joey Dorsey and Chris Dou-glas-Roberts — were all up-perclassmen.

Likewise, Calipari’s 1996Final Four UMass team,though playing in an era be-fore one-and-dones were pop-ular, had two freshmen on theroster — Ross Burns andCharlton Clarke — neither ofwhom were anything morethan benchwarmers.

“I can remember us hav-ing teams that went to theElite Eight that then expectedto be in the Final Four. Youexpect it,” Calipari said. “Ifyou haven’t been there, it’s alittle tougher for you. I thinkthings happen; an inexperi-enced team is at disadvantage.

“But if the choice is talentor experience, I’m taking tal-ent.”

So what happens when ateam has both talent and expe-rience, as is the case with OhioSt., UK’s opponent in theSweet 16 and the NCAA Tour-nament’s overall No. 1 seed?

“If you’ve got both,you’re in the final game try-ing to win the whole thing,”Calipari said.

The consensus is that theBuckeyes are the best remain-ing team of the 16 left in thefield; according to ESPN’snational bracket, 52.2 percentof the nation believes theBuckeyes will win the cham-pionship, and 78.6 percent ofthe nation has them advanc-ing to the Final Four.

If ever there were doubtsabout the sanity of this nation,Ohio St.’s 98-66 dismantlingof George Mason, which in-cluded 16 OSU 3-pointers, af-firmed that these Buckeyesare for real in a tournamentcurrently lacking any otherdominant teams.

OSU’s fifth-year seniorDavid Lighty, who was amember of OSU’s 2007 na-tional runner-up team, juniorWilliam Buford and seniorsJon Diebler and Dallas Laud-erdale have meshed well withfreshmen Deshaun Thomas,Aaron Craft and JaredSullinger, who averages a

double-double and compen-sates for what the other twofreshmen lack in star power.

And OSU’s veterans areat another level of experiencethan UK’s veterans — DariusMiller, DeAndre Liggins andJosh Harrellson. Save forLauderdale, the other Buck-eye veterans have been play-ing 29 minutes per game andupward for the past three sea-sons, whereas Harrellsonplayed 88 minutes total lastseason and Miller and Lig-gins have only played morethan 30 minutes per game asof this year.

Even scarier, OSU notonly has a combination of tal-ent and experience, but acombination of inside andoutside play, which makes it ateam with no apparent weak-nesses to attack.

UK freshman DoronLamb seemed unfazed andmaintained that his team waspossibly the best in the coun-try, saying that the Cats “justgot to prove it to everybody ifthey don’t believe it.”

Not many pundits are buy-ing what Lamb and his team-mates are selling at this point.

And if Calipari’s prefer-ence for talent over experi-ence doesn’t work out Fridayin Newark, N.J., he has a planfor the aftermath.

“Then you can blame mefor us not winning,” Caliparisaid. “But I’m taking talent.That’s just how I’ve beenthroughout my career. I’drather have that than experi-ence.”

If Calipari had both, moreforecasters would fancy hischances against the Buck-eyes.

Calipari prefers talent overexperience; OSU has both
