LOS ANGELES _ "HarryPotter and the Deathly Hal-lows Part I" made $24 mil-lion in its debut during thewee hours Friday, enough topull into third place amongfilms with midnight screen-ings, according to figuresfrom box-office tracker Hol-lywood.com.

"Deathly Hallows" fellbehind two films in the "Twi-light" series. "The TwilightSaga: Eclipse" still is topswith its $30 million-plus de-but earlier this year on June30. And "The Twilight Saga:

New Moon" comes in secondat $26.3 million for its Nov.20, 2009 midnight release.

But "Deathly Hallows" isahead of the last film in theseries, fourth-place "HarryPotter and the Half-BloodPrince," which made $22.2million during its midnightrun in July 2009. And"Deathly Hallows" is wellahead of fifth-place The DarkKnight," another film fromTime Warner Inc.'s WarnerBros. studios, which made$18.5 million in its July 2008midnight screenings.

"That's really strong.These are numbers thatwould be a great opening

weekend for a lot of movies,"said Paul Dergarabedian,president of Hollywood.com'sbox-office division. He pre-dicted that "Deathly Hallows"would top the $100 millionmark during the weekend.

Can "Deathly Hallows"meet that mark? The top sev-en box-office takes for mid-night debuts, which also in-cludes sixth-place "Star Wars:Episode III _ Revenge of theSith" from 2005 and seventh-place "Transformers: Re-venge of the Fallen" in 2009,indicates the odds are goodthat "Deathly Hallows" willreach the magic $100 millionmark in its first weekend.

"Star Wars" was distrib-uted by Twentieth-CenturyFox, a unit of News Corp.,which also owns Market-Watch, publisher of this re-port. "Transformers" is fromViacom Inc.'s Paramount Pic-tures unit.

The only two of the topseven to not reach that markwere "Eclipse" and the other"Potter" film on the list,"Half-Blood Prince." Butboth debuted on a Wednes-day. By the time its firstweekend was over "Half-Blood Prince" made $77 mil-lion from the Friday-to-Sun-day period, but accumulated$158 million in total over its

first five days."Eclipse" made $64.8

million in its first Friday-to-Sunday period but had accu-mulated $157.6 million fromWednesday to Sunday.

The record opening three-day weekend for films open-ing on a Friday is held by"Dark Knight," which made$158.4 million when it firsthit screens in July 2008.

First half of Harry Potter finale grabs $24 million with midnight shows

PHOTO BY SCOTT HANNIGAN | STAFFHarry Potter fans line up at the Cinemark Fayette Mall movie theatrehours before the midnight premier of the latest Harry Potter.

Members of the UK communityand a U.S. international developmentoffical discussed the severe condi-tions of Haiti and how UK can helpthe struggling nation Friday.

“The United States, the Univer-sity of Kentucky, and the HaitianCrisis” featured Russell Porter, thedeputy coordinator of the UnitedStates Agency for International De-velopment. President John F.Kennedey developed USAID in1961 to implement foreign aidaround the world.

The organization has sent12,000 people to Haiti in its strategyto bring relief and development,which ideally would blend for pros-perity, Porter said. The Departmentof Defense has sent an additional20,000 people for vertical lift ofpeople, supplies and rubble by heli-copter to work with the agency.

“It has been a huge challenge forthe agency to coordinate with theDepartment of Defense, but wecouldn’t have done it without them,”Porter said.

Haiti, the poorest conuntry in thewestern hemisphere, experienced amagnitude 7.0 earthquake in January.The country also faces a cholera epi-demic that has spread to Port auPrince, the nation’s capital.

Haiti ranks 148 on the UnitedNations’ development index, Portersaid. Eighty percent of Haitiansmake their living in the informaleconomy. A quarter of all Haitianchildren are chronically malnour-ished, and these are all statisticsmade prior to the earthquake andcholera outbreak, Porter said. Whenthe earthquake hit, 3.5 million peoplewere displaced. That was the largesturban displacement that has occurredin recent history. The response wasthe largest urban feeding program inhistory, Porter said.

But there are several cooks inthis kitchen, non-profit organiza-tions, multi-national organizations,and national governments rushed toaid the nation in hope to make it op-erate to its full potential. But if thisaid is not spent efficiently, it willonly hinder the nation more as acrutch instead of improving it,Porter said.

Two million oral rehydrationsalts to ease cholera our on it’s wayto Haiti and today 185 messageswill play on Haitian radio and tele-vision telling people to wash theirhands and practice hygiene.

“We can’t put enough doctors inthe country,” Porter said. “It’s goingto have to be the Haitians who willbe trained.”

Leadersheds light on Haiti’stroubles

PHOTOS BY RYAN BUCKLER | STAFFCorey Smith performing for the sold out crowd at Buster’s Backroom & Billiards on Saturday November 10, 2010.

A mid-November game had the atmos-phere, environment and play of an NCAAtournament game as the No. 10 UK women’s

basketball team held on todefeat No. 12 Notre Dame81-76.

Although UK (4-0) andNotre Dame (3-2) women’sbasketball teams have neverplayed each other before,the intensity surroundingthe game made it seem likea bitter rivalry. Thanks to ahometown crowd of 6,794

and senior forward Victoria Dunlap the Catsousted the Irish.

“It was a great crowd, great energy, thebuilding was electric and it was Memorial,”UK head coach Matthew Mitchell said.

Dunlap led the Cats in the victory.The reigning Southeastern Conference

Player of Year finished with 24 points, 14rebounds, four assists, two steals and threeblocks.

Dunlap’s leadership was an importantcontribution that won’t show up on the statsheet. She played 38 minutes while step-ping up for sophomore A’dia Mathies, whostruggled from the field.

“(Mathies) had a rough time,” Dunlapsaid. “I tried to keep talking to her and keepconfident, but when she got a steal rightthere, that’s A’dia. She still can make thingshappen.”

It was a steal that helped seal the victory. “I put (Mathies) on (Skylar) Diggins at

the end of the game because I was as confi-dent in (Mathies) as anyone, and she madea big time play in the game,” Mitchell said.

Notre Dame appeared to be able to bul-ly the much smaller UK inside to begin thegame, but the Cats used a 21-4 run to pullahead of the Irish 41-35 at halftime.

UK’s late three-point shooting alsohelped to seal the victory. Despite missingits first 11 threes to start the game, UKmade three of five to finish the first halfand it hit five more in the second half, mostcoming from junior guard Keyla Snowden.

Snowden finished 5 of 12 from beyondthe arc, scoring 17 total on the day.

“We all contributed to this but it feltgood to help my teammates in the secondhalf and hit some shots,” Snowden said.

UK knows being undersized means itwill have to find other ways to win.

“The equalizers were the free throwline, the three point line and we were plusfive on turnovers and to win (a game) thosestatistics have to be good,” Matthews said.

Shooting 45.5 percent from three-pointrange in the second half was crucial for theCats, but no three was bigger than freshmanguard Bernisha Pinkett’s with less than fiveminutes to play in the game.

The Irish had just cut the lead to onewhen Pinkett received the ball on the cor-ner and launched a three that banked off thebackboard and through the hoop, pushingthe UK lead back to four.

Mitchell joked it went according to theplay he designed.

“I have to take all the credit on that one,it was good coaching,” Mitchell said.

Corey Smith promised aparty in Lexington Saturdaynight, and he delivered.

With guests Ingram Hill andKenny Owens, all three acts treat-ed the stage as if they were head-liners, and a sold out Buster’scrowd fed off the enthusiasm.

Lexington native KennyOwens kicked off the set with acover-filled performance, and hissong selection was immaculatelysuited for his audience. Rangingfrom Old Crow Medicine Showto Ryan Adams to Bob Marley,the audience belted lyrics louderthan Owen— so much so that hewould often step back from themic, take a swig of his Bud Lightand laugh.

Ingram Hill took the stagenext, thundering through a 45-minute set of songs so catchythat it didn’t matter more thanhalf the crowd hadn’t heardthem. Their refrains have a one-time listen learning curve.

During the 30-minute setchange between Ingram Hill,fans stepped around the PabstBlue Ribbon tall boys that lit-tered the floor to break the sealbefore Smith took the stage.

The lights dropped, and “The

Jeffersons” theme thunderedthrough Busters, kicking off yetanother sing along before Smith,complete with sunglasses, cameon to thunderous applause.

His set was a balanced actof old and new material-- ablend of acoustic singer/song-writer ballads of pain and loss,and full-band country songsfound on his latest album,“Keeping up with the Joneses.”

During a break betweensongs, fans delivered their trade-mark Busters mid-show Catschant, drawing a laugh from theGeorgia native.

Regardless of how hardSmith pushed his new materialon fans, it was clear the fanswanted the old material. Songs

like “Drinkin’ Again” and “If ICould Do it Again” elicited thebiggest responses, while thelesser-known new tracks seemedto simply serve as filler time.

Rehab’s “Bartender” got alittle extra love as both Owensand Smith covered the track, butthe crowd took in stride, an en-core of sorts, and screamedalong to it each time.

With a vibe more like agroup of friends singing alongand drinking beer to a strum-ming guitar in a family roomrather than a concert, the inti-mate feeling behind the show iswhat brought authenticity. It wasas much a house party as it wasa show. And that’s exactly whatthe fans wanted.

With the next Bond film not coming untilat least 2012, it falls to video games to fill thegap two at once, in fact.

"GoldenEye 007" is a re-make of the classic Nintendo64 shooter based on the 1995film, while "Blood Stone007" is a new adventure.Both games feature DanielCraig's likeness for the titlerole (replacing Pierce Bros-nan's in "GoldenEye"), andhe voices the character aswell in "Blood Stone." JudiDench appears as M in bothgames.

"GoldenEye" is an over-haul of the original game,with reworked levels andgame play, and graphics up-dated to the higher end of theWii's capabilities. It's proba-bly the best first-person

shooter on the Wii.The game follows the basic plot of the

1996 movie, with Bond in pursuit of a rene-gade agent and the orbital weapon he controls,but with events expanded and invented to fillout the levels.

Aside from the single-player campaign,the game features split-screen multiplayermodes similar to those of the Nintendo 64original, along with a set of new options for

eight-player online matches."Blood Stone" is an original installment

written by Bruce Fierstein, who penned the1997 Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies," aswell as the 2004 Bond game "Everything orNothing." After a prologue in which Bondfoils an assassination attempt on conveningworld leaders, the main plot concerning a bio-chemical weapon gets under way.

The game is played as a third-personshooter, with an over-the-shoulder camera an-gle similar to the "Gears of War" games. Alsosimilar: Bond can duck into cover at the pressof a button.

He has some tricks of his own, though. Hecan sneak up behind enemies and take themout silently, and his up-close attacks net himFocus Aim charges, each good for an instanthead shot kind of like Sam Fisher's signaturemove in the last "Splinter Cell" game.

Bond's smart phone acts as an objectivelocator and enemy tracker. It marks the posi-tion of enemies, even showing what they'rearmed with, points the way to the next way-point and highlights evidence to be examined.

"Blood Stone" allows online competitionfor up to 16 players, with game types rangingfrom simple death-match-style bouts to morecomplicated, objective-based matches.

Bond to live on in games for now

This weekend at the Sin-gletary Center for the Arts,UK Dance Ensemble took au-diences to India, the jungles ofPuerto Rico and everywhere inbetween.

As part of their fall con-cert, more than 20 dancerstook part in 14 dance pieces tocreate an interpretation of themany faces and feet that are apart of what it means to dance.

Some pieces, like “A Gyp-sy’s Journey” and “Un Dia enel Yunque” were cultural sub-mersions, incorporating re-gional dances such as bellydancing and salsa with moderntwists. Others, like “Realiza-tion” and “Flux,” were modernexplorations into themes com-mon to many young adults.“Acceptance” depicted thejourney to discover where onebelongs.

“The message behind itwas powerful,” undeclaredfreshman Tori Dane said. “It

really meant a lot.” Audra Flanagan, the grad-

uating senior in the troupe,said she loved performing“Acceptance.”

“It is an idea everyonecan relate to,” Flanagan said.“Everyone feels like the blacksheep at some point.”

Erica Maryman, kinesiolo-gy senior, said she enjoyeddancing in “TralfamadorianBoogie,” a modern piece basedon the writing of Kurt Von-negut.

“We got to vocalize as wellas move” Maryman said. “Itwas fun to do and fun to watch.”

The “Tralfamadorian Boo-gie,” accompanied by a jazzymusic, celebrated nonconfor-mity and wackiness in themost ordinary looking people.

The evening ended withthe presentation of the MaryKing Montgomery KounsChoreography Award. Art ad-ministration senior KelseyShackleford recieved theaward for a piece she createdlast spring about students

wearing iPods to class, stuckinside their own worlds andblind to all around them.

“Kelsey’s growth andmovement was not in the nor-mal style, and it made for avery relevant piece” saidRayma Beal, adviser to theDance Ensemble.

This season, Shacklefordchoreographed “Have NoFear,” a piece about the occa-sional grey area between goodand evil.

From one choreogra-pher’s depiction of memoriesof her grandmother in churchto another’s interpretation ofthe inevitable loss of inno-cence, the pieced transportedaudiences around the worldand into the human psycheduring the Fall Concert.

Like Shackleford, Flana-gan credits the performance’ssuccess to the dancers’ pas-sion for their art.

“Do what you love,”Flanagan said. “If you love todance, then dance.”

Along with child birth and linger-ing sexual inequalities, women in thiscountry must contend with the mo-

mentous pain in therear that is women’spants (pun kind of in-tended).

To be sure, pantsare much celebratedby my gender. Longgone are the days ofcorsets and dressesand good riddance.We’ve come a longway.

But I think westill have a ways to

go. Namely, we need to revolutionizethe styling of women’s pants.

“Low-rise skinny jeans” is thestyle you’ll find on all the shelvesthese days, and there are two thingsterribly wrong with it.

The first is “low-rise.” This mis-leading term indicates that the waistof the pants doesn’t really “rise” atall, but falls low down on the hip.Unlike the flattering high-waistedpants of previous generations, “low-rise” pants cup the layer of fat thatany woman who eats daily accumu-lates on her belly and props it up —accentuates it much like a push-upbra accentuates a bosom.

The result is problematic. Do youknow what a muffin top is? It’s theshelf of fat that hangs over the pantsas a result of the low-rise waist, andit’s a phenomenon that plagues prettymuch all American women — it’splaguing me as I write this.

The second is “skinny.” The termitself is maddening, seeming to prom-ise to transform you into a lithe, ele-gant goddess the moment you slipinto the pants. In reality, after strug-

gling for fifteen minutes to shimmyinto the tiny things, you’ll discover[red faced and puffing] the pants, infact, make you seem less skinny thanto begin with.

They squeeze your softer areasinto odd creases and bulges, and ifthere’s a trendy little hole scuffed intothem, you can bet that your fat willbe oozing out of it.

If you’re dumb enough to take apair home like me, you’ll encounterfurther unfortunate results. Like thetraditional Japanese kimono, skinnyjeans constrict your movements con-siderably; you won’t be able to runand play flag football like Brett Favredoes in those Wrangler commercials.

In fact, you won’t even be able tobend down far enough to put yoursocks on—start practicing pickingthings up with your toes now. Andjust imagine a romantic moment withyour hubby—things are getting hotand heavy and you’re plucking gar-ments from each other like petalsfrom a red rose. Now imagine hisfumbling attempts to pry your skinnyjeans from your body. His gasping,heave-ho motions may ruin the mood,as will the pink creases left behind onyour skin by the demon pants once herips them off. What’s that, baby? Alarge mole? A spot of ringworm? Anoddly placed third nipple?

Why no, that’s the button markmy skinny jeans have carved into myflesh.

For the love of holiday shopping,give this woman some pants that willfit flatteringly and comfortably—withpockets, by the way. Until then, I willcomplain a lot and wear stretch pantsthat show my panty lines.

Pant rant: a woman’s struggleto ‘shimmy’ into low-rise skinny

Falling short, globallyA weak pat on the back. UK announced international enrollment is up

more than 50 percent from five years ago, ac-cording to a Nov. 16 article. While this may ini-tially seem impressive, the actual numbers arequite lackluster.

At a university of more than 20,000 students,the international enrollment this year reached ameager 358 students.

While an international student population of 1percent is the norm amongst other benchmarkuniversities such as Florida, Tennessee and SouthCarolina, it shouldn’t be UK’s comfort zone.

The responsibility is in the state’s hands, yes,but the future lies in what UK can do to cultivaterelationships abroad that flourish.

This is a step in the right direction, but the

university would be wise to further expand its re-cruitment abroad, particularly in a climate of rap-id globalization and international business, com-munication, research and commerce.

Additionally, international students need to bebetter integrated into campus — rather than quar-antined in an international students’ dorm andconfined to international student events.

Bringing in people who look and think differ-ently will challenge the university to reach newheights and look at itself critically — rather thanplay to ideals of the past. Tradition is nice, butbreaking parts of tradition and evolving is whatsuccess is about.

Rather than pat itself on the back, the univer-sity must continue its international pursuits andapplause will necessarily follow.

When members of the UKfootball team’s offensive anddefensive linemen collide withopponents, the crash of hel-mets and pads creates a recog-nizable sound. On TurkeyDay, the nom nom sound is alltoo familiar among the behe-moth linemen, too.

“I tend to watch what I …nevermind, you know what, Ijust eat until I get full,” saidsenior defensive tackle RickyLumpkin, who weighs 306pounds. “If I’m full, I’ll stop,if I’m not, I will keep going.”

The linemen are encour-aged to eat most always. Onlythose linemen on UK’s ver-sion of Weight Watchers haveto watch what they eat — orface the consequences — said293-pound junior defensivetackle Mark Crawford.

Lumpkin is in the clear,as is Crawford and the team’sheaviest starter, 329-poundsophomore guard Larry War-ford, to go on an eatingsplurge on Thursday.

The general consensusamong these players andfood connoisseurs was thatthe staple food of Thanksgiv-ing, turkey, was best whenthe optimum level of mois-ture was reached.

Lumpkin had one word forthe turkey his dad prepares:“Greatness.” But he said if hisdad doesn’t follow a particularfrying procedure, the turkeytastes “nasty and bland.”

Warford said he’s contentif in addition to turkey, he hashis macaroni and cheese, din-ner rolls and his aunt’s “realgood” baked beans. Lumpkinsaid he also likes ham andstuffing, while Crawford tooka pass on other main-mealmorsels and spoke of his lovefor sweet potato pie.

Dessert isn’t as easy achoice for Warford, who hasone aunt that makes an applepie, and another who makesa vanilla pudding withwafers. For Lumpkin, dessertis a bittersweet irony becausehe said he likes banana pud-ding, but hates bananas—so,he’s left with pudding.

The team will have a din-ner together before Thursday,and for those players farfrom home, coaches andplayers who live locally will

invite them over to theirhouses for Thanksgiving.

Lumpkin, who pointed tofreshman offensive tackleStephen Duff’s ability to eat100 chicken wings, said theoffensive line will easily winthe battle of the waistline.

“They eat too much, it’sridiculous,” Lumpkin said.“I’m not putting 100 wingsin my stomach.”

Warford was quick to cor-rect Lumpkin and said Duff’spersonal record actually stoodat 102 wings in one sitting.

“After you get to 100,does it even matter anymore?You won,” Warford said.“But I could beat the d-lineby myself.”

Since the game againstTennessee falls two days af-ter Thanksgiving, the linemenwill have to hold back a bit.

“You don’t want to eat toomuch and then when you’re atthe game you’re throwing upturkey on the sideline,” saidCrawford, who believes histeammates will have no trou-ble getting back to businessfor their rivalry game.

What would a win overthe Volunteers mean?

“That’d be sweeter thansome sweet potato pie,”Crawford said.
