TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- UK was comingback, and coming back, and it seemed like theCats might be able to grab a victory .

But the comeback bid from 20 pointsdown fell two points shy as No. 13 UK (14-4,2-2 SEC) fell on the road to Alabama (11-7, 3-1 SEC).

Terrence Jones scored 17 points andDoron Lamb added 16, but UK was held to 38percent shooting by the Tide defense, whichgives up the fewest points in the SEC.

Alabama’s JaMychal Green had 18 pointsand 11 rebounds. The Crimson Tide made 7 oftheir 14 threes after hitting just 3 of 21 in theirfirst three SEC games.

“We gave ourselves a chance to win thegame,” UK head coach John Calipari said.“We had no reason to even still be in the gameat that point by the way we were playing.Then all of a sudden we have the ball downone with a chance to win.”

It looked like Alabama was going to em-barrass UK after earning a 20-point lead with15 minutes to play.

And then UK started to chip away. TheCats clamped down on defense, forcing aturnover on seven straight possessions.

“I told the team that if we got it down tonine or ten points we could win this game,”said Calipari, who apologized on Twitter afterthe game for his language during the game,

which was televised on ESPN.UK got to that mark, as the lead was cut to

single digits with eight minutes left. Thechance to win came soon after.

Three times in the final four minutes, UKcut the lead to one point. But the Cats nevercould recapture a lead, and made 7 of 14 freethrows in the second half.

With UK trailing by one and under aminute left, Brandon Knight drove the lane,but Alabama bodies were in front of him andhe was called for a charge.

But on the next possession, DeAndre Lig-gins drew a charge on Alabama that gave UKanother shot with 10.8 seconds left.

Brandon Knight had the ball on theperimeter. Doron Lamb circled over to take ahandoff, but the two guards weren’t close

With the rise of crime onUK’s campus last semester,students began to get wor-ried it would become atrend, but crime has sloweddown on campus and in Lex-ington.

Students bought pepperspray and began to use theSAFECATS, Safe And FreeEscort for Campus Area

Traveling Students, more of-ten than normal, promptingthe idea of another golf cartfor the program.

UK Police Chief JoeMonroe said no progress hasbeen made from the rob-beries that occurred betweenSept. 14 and Sept. 23 of lastyear.

“There are no new up-dates on those [crimes] thatoccurred back in the fall se-

mester,” Monroe said.“Everything seemed to haveeither declined or stopped af-ter the new efforts we put inplace.”

Monroe said that UK’scrime reflected the rise thatoccurred with the city ofLexington, but both haveslowed.

“At that time, if you look,the crime for the whole citywas going on and seeing a

rise,” Monroe said. “Rightnow we aren’t seeing any-thing on campus and the cityhas slowed back down.”

With the slowing of suchcrimes on campus the extrapatrols have gone, but thoseregularly working are keep-ing an eye on the areas wherecrimes are likely to occur.

“We don’t have any extraofficers out,” Monroe said.“We’re back to our normal

staffing, but they are still pay-ing close attention to thesehot spots, as well as any areasthat may be a concern.”

The false UK alert fromJan. 14 was from the initialexplanation from the victim,a robbery and assault. Afterfurther investigation, policefound the medicine the victimclaimed to have had stolenand found the injuries fromhis face were from an earlier

incident, not on campus. The person was reported

missing to the city police ear-lier that morning, Monroesaid.

Monroe said the incorrectUK Alert went out becausethe officers initially believedthere to be a threat to stu-dents.

An astronomy professor who filed a re-ligious discrimination suit against UK hasasked that it be dismissed.

A motion was filed inUS District Court Tuesdaythat says both UK andMartin Gaskell want thecase thrown out.

Gaskell filed a suit inJuly 2009 claiming he waspassed over for a job atthe MacAdam StudentObservatory because ofhis religion.

Court documents show Gaskell was atop candidate, but e-mails from professorsquestioned his religious beliefs.

Gaskell could not be reached for com-ment.

UK agreed to pay Gaskell and his attor-neys $125,000 if he agreed to drop the suit,the settlement said.

"The University is pleased that a quicksettlement has been reached in this case,”UK attorney Barbara Jones said in a pressrelease. “This successful resolution pre-cludes what would have been a lengthy trialthat, ultimately, would not have served any-one's best interests.”

A trial was set for Feb. 8.

Lexington’s historical Loudoun Housewas originally built as a single-family resi-dence in the 1850s — little did they knowthere will be naked people all around theirhouse for the next two months.

The Gothic Revival villa, which sits at209 Castlewood Dr. has been everythingfrom a home to a community center andnow houses the Lexington Art League.

Last Friday, LAL kicked off the 25thanniversary of the QX.net Nude art exhibitwith a gathering of 500 people, not includ-ing the naked patrons that sit, stand andpose in the various art pieces. Guests in at-tendance included newly-elected mayor JimGray and Lex Arts president Jim Clark.

Becky Alley, exhibitions and programsdirector at LAL, describes the exhibit as acombination of tradition and contemporaryart.

“QX.net Nude celebrates the tradition ofthe nude figure in art and what we try tohighlight here is art by contemporary artists… our work has always included currenttrends,” Alley said.

According to LAL’s website, QX.netNude received more than 600 submissionsfor this exhibit and features 50 works of artby contemporary artists from 22 states andBritish Columbia.

“Drawing, photography and videopieces are all on display in this exhibit, in-cluding some very large scale pieces we arevery excited about,” Alley said.

Several recognizable collegebasketball pundits have said thisyear’s version of the UK men’sbasketball team could make a deep-er run than last year’s edition of theCats in the NCAA Tournament.

Even this not-so well-knownbasketball columnist can tell youthat this year’s Cats have to learnhow to perform better on the roadbefore thinking about improvingon last season’s Elite Eight appear-

ance.UK put together another unin-

spired performance in a Southeast-ern Conference road game onTuesday night, falling to the Ala-bama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa.The game was eerily reminiscentof the Cats’ conference openingloss to the Georgia Bulldogs inStegeman Coliseum on Jan. 8when the Cats’ early self-inflictedmistakes (a combination of poorshooting, poor defense and poorrebounding) created a deficit thatcouldn’t be overcome despite a fu-rious late rally, including a chanceto win the game on the final pos-session.

Safety experts have a new pet peeverelated to distracted driving.

In addition to texting or talking on a cellphone while driving, lap dogs and other petsleft unrestrained inside moving vehicles posea major distraction that could be deadly, anew study released Wednesday warns mo-torists.

About two-thirds of dog owners surveyedby the AAA organization said they routinelydrive while petting or playing with theirdogs, sometimes even giving them food orwater while maneuvering through traffic.

It has been a common sight for many yearsto see dogs hanging their heads out of open carwindows with their ears flapping in the breeze.But in the cocoon that the automobile has be-come, more drivers are nonchalantly cradlingtheir dogs atop their laps or perching the ani-mals on their chests with the pet's front pawsclutching the driver's neck or shoulders.

Regis Philbin retiring from Live! WithRegis and Kelly'

On Tuesday morning, Regis Philbin an-nounced that he will be retiring from his talkshow “Live! With Regis and Kelly.” He

broke the news at the beginning of the show,noting that the franchise would continuewithout him.

“This will be my last year on this show,”he told viewers. "It's been a long time; it'sbeen 28 years since I've been here. And itwas the biggest thrill of my life.

“There is a time that everything mustcome to an end for certain people on camera,especially certain old people,” he joked.

Philbin said he will step down around theend of the summer, but he didn't specify a de-parture date.

on and issue the UK Alertout, for safety,” Monroe said.

Monroe said he got calledfrom several parents aboutthe incident on Jan. 14, andhe returned their calls and ex-plained the situation to thethankful parents.

Some students are stillworried about their safetyaround campus, while othershave never been worried, likeElisa Underwood, a businessmanagement sophomore.

“I didn’t feel unsafe evenwhen the robberies were hap-pening,” Underwood said.“I’m not really alarmed[when I get a UK Alert]. If Igot it while I was walking outat night by myself then Iwould be like OK, there’ssomeone there.”

Christina Nguyen, a psy-chology/pre-med freshman,got worried when the rob-beries began, but has lessenedher worries because of sever-al factors.

“When I first got here andheard [about] all the rob-beries, I didn’t feel safe at

all,” Nguyen said. “It wasn’tuntil I got my pepper spray,now I feel safe, because I gotmyself pepper spray.”

Bonnie Lewis, a historyfreshman, usually feels safeon campus, even after the rob-beries, because she has takensome of the advice officialshave given after the robberies.

“I feel safe generally, it’sjust when I’m in K Lot bymyself that I get scared, but Ihave my pepper spray,” Bon-nie Lewis said. “I’ve hadfriends who have been fol-lowed on campus before.”

Bonnie Lewis’ friend,

Ashley Lewis, was the onebeing followed, where sheand a friend got frightened af-ter being followed at nightinto a building and down sev-eral halls.

“There was a time whenmy roommate and I werewalking to south campusfrom north campus. We sawthese guys on north campusand we saw them again onsouth campus,” Ashley Lewissaid. “They crossed the streetwhen we came, and myroommate kind of freakedout. We went in this buildingand they followed us in there

and down a couple of hallways.”

Ashley Lewis said thatshe feels safe on campus, butless than she did before therobberies occurred.

Monroe said he will holdanother community forum forstudents, faculty, staff andothers to attend and giveUKPD feedback.

He is also looking for-ward to doing a report cardwhere those on campus canfill out and rate the UKPD,letting them know what theywould like to see more of andwhat they are already doinggood with.

SAFECATS is availableuntil 1:30 a.m. and can bereached at 257-SAFE. Afterthat, you can call UKPD viacell phone at #UKPD.

All I wanted for Christmas was acomma.

That small curl could have broughtpeace on Earth for myfamily. Instead, someScrooge set out erro-neously to decreasethe surplus punctua-tion, then added insultto injury by danglinga modifier rather thanholly and lowercasingwords rather than cap-italizing on theChristmas spirit.

Before long ourholiday season turned into a bloodyawful scene that could inspire a Coenbrothers sequel, “True Wit.”

I offer this cautionary tale in hopesthat you will make a New Year’s reso-lution to watch your grammar so that2011 will be known as the Writer’sYear of the 3 C’s: clear, concise andcoherent, not crime, confusion and ca-cophony.

Our holiday episode began inno-cently enough when I opened a Christ-mas card and saw this scribbled inside:

“Happy Holidays to you and yourwife Anne.”

What an outrage, I thought. Imag-ine using a sacred occasion to accuse aman of a crime like bigamy, if notpolygamy.

By dropping the comma before“Anne,” my alleged and now formerfriend implied that I was keeping an-other wife or two on the side. The holi-day card might as well have read:

“Happy Holidays to you and yourwife Anne. Say hi to your wives Sallyand Martha, too!”

There’s something romanticallymonogamous about a comma. Withoutit you feel naked.

With it, as in “my wife, Anne,” thatlittle curl shouts, “You are my one andonly!” How lovely the comma andhow sad when someone thoughtlesslydrops it.

The holiday card rolled on with astory or two, including this line:

“Looming large on the horizon, Isaw the Christmas tree we would chopdown.”

Feeling charitable, I was not. Icouldn’t help but think my accuser hadobviously been spending too muchtime at the cookie tray.

After all, “looming,” a present par-ticiple acting as an adjective, modifiesthe first word after the comma. Sowhat was looming?

My fatheaded friend, of course!Then came this:“After we brought our tree home,

we went to a catholic church that of-fers only one english service. There wesaw our new mayor, looking like nei-

ther a democrat nor a republican.”Saints preserve us, I thought. Did

he really mean a universal church of-fering religion with a backspin? Couldthe new mayor be a political partypooper taking his cues out of ancientGreece?

My mind reeled in search of a capi-tal “C” to restore the Roman Catholictradition, it ping-ponged back and forthin pursuit of a capital “E” to upholdthe English language, and it recalledour new mayor was a registered Demo-crat, even though he was elected in anon-partisan race. No, my friends, notall business people are members of theRepublican Party.

If you feel my pain, having readyour own holiday cards, or Facebookgreetings, or e-mails, please let meknow. Send along those examples so Ican use them as I develop a new one-credit required course on grammar forall our journalism students at the Uni-versity of Kentucky. It’s a battle notjust for language but for credibility,and we can use all the reinforcementswe can get.

All I want for next Christmas is acomma, as in “Thank you, ProfessorRyan.”

It’s hard to tell if UK’scomeback effort, one thatstarted after it was staring ata 20-point deficit, was morea result of it playing well ora lack of closing ability onthe part of Alabama, which atone point turned the ball overseven straight possessions inthe final 10 minutes of thesecond half.

Whatever the answer toabove question, the gamewas a stark departure fromthe Cats’ dazzling perform-ances in their first two SECgames, both blowouts, at

Rupp Arena, where the Catsare undefeated during UKmen’s basketball head coachJohn Calipari’s tenure. TheCats’ other nonconferencelosses this season — Con-necticut and North Carolina— came on neutral and awaycourts, respectively.

Granted, Alabama sporteda perfect record (9-0) at Cole-man Coliseum entering thegame and winning on the roadisn’t supposed to be easy, butAlabama, which was shooting3-of-21 from beyond the arcprior to the game, shot a blis-tering 7-of-14 on its 3-pointattempts against UK. Alabamahead coach Anthony Grant ac-knowledged he was worriedabout his team’s 3-point

shooting, so this doesn’t speakvolumes of UK’s defense.

The Cats’ postseasongames won’t be played inLexington, so these youngCats have to find a way totranslate their home form onthe road. And sooner ratherthan later.

No matter the situationlast year, it seemed the Catscould always depend on theheroics of John Wall and therest of a roster that oozed theswagger one might expectfrom a team with five futurepros on the roster.

However, none of UK’stalented freshmen, or veter-ans for that matter, tookcharge of the game in thesame way. No one seemed

particularly vocal with team-mates and Calipari was theone doing the most of thetalking. No one put his teamon his shoulder and won thegame on a final shot.

The Cats began the secondhalf trailing by seven points,which is by no means a stag-gering mountain to climb. Asencouraging as it was that theCats didn’t fold when theywere down by 20 points, theCats need to show that theyare up to the challenge ofplaying on the road earlier,otherwise it’ll be an uphillclimb the rest of the year.

Consuming Godivachocolates makes for uniqueacceptance speeches, particu-larly Paul Giamatti’s at Sun-day’s Golden Globe Awards.

I’m returning the favorand giving a shout out to Gia-matti, who thanked the entirenation of Canada during hisacceptance speech after hewon the Golden Globe forBest Actor in a Motion Pic-ture Musical or Comedy for

his lead role in “Barney’sVersion.”

“Paul Gia-who?” youask. Great question.

Giamatti is that guy withthe thick-rimmed glasseswho was in that movie“Sideways” with that otherdude and they gallivantthrough California’s winecountry. It also starred theAsian woman from “Grey’sAnatomy,” who I know isnamed Sandra Oh, but I don’tnecessarily think that helpspeople visualize her in thesame way my initial descrip-tor does.

Giamatti also played JohnAdams (the poor man’s ver-sion of George Washington)

in the aptly named miniseries“John Adams.” I heard it waswell done and historically ac-curate, so basically therewere a lot of scenes showingangry rants by politicianswith powdered whigs.

Anyway, knowledge ofthe above brings you up tospeed on Giamatti’s career be-fore he took the stage Sunday.

He started by saying hewas a “little jacked up” be-cause he had been munchingon the Godiva chocolates pro-vided at the tables. He wonthe audience over with his lit-tle har-dee-har joke, a goodway to buy himself some timeto collect his thoughts so hedidn’t say anything stupid.

The speech was movingalong swiftly, then Giamattistarted to say how he enjoyedfilming in Montreal. As anaside, the fact that this is aCanadian drama film seemsto contradict the whole Mo-tion Picture Musical or Com-edy category, which heshould’ve addressed duringthe time before the wrap-it-upmusic.

“I salute the great nationof Canada,” said Giamatti,

who then quietly added aquick thanks to the Holly-wood Foreign Press, whichdetermines the winners.

As a Canadian, I’d evenstart by thanking the Holly-wood Foreign Press becauseI’d want to receive futureGolden Globes for the mantle.

Most people also thankthe big man upstairs, the No-torious B.I.G., God, children(not children in general, butusually their own), fellowcast members (those thatwere less talented and notrecognized for their work, butwho are loved nonetheless),the director (who alwayspushes them to give more inevery scene), writers (who

crafted such a wonderfulcharacter), the guy at theKraft Service table (whobrought delicious varieties ofcheeses for the crew) andtheir beautiful (or not-so-beautiful) spouse, but thank-ing Canada?

Not sure if most of Gia-matti’s peers would agree thatCanada deserves thanks forjust being there, but I’ll takethe shout outs any way theycome.

Even so, easy on the Go-diva chocolates next time, Gi-amatti. My country is a littlecreeped out when you professlove for it on national televi-sion so soon into this rela-tionship.

sports

Attention paid to UKsports can normally be dividedneatly into two camps: Foot-ball and basketball. Occasion-ally the soccer, volleyball andhockey teams garner some ex-citement, but for the most part,as with most other colleges,touchdowns and threes arewhat people want to see.

There are a multitude ofsports programs at UK thatare under the radar. ThisWednesday at the Johnson

Center many sports teamswill have the chance to maketheir presence known duringthe Club Sports Fair 5-7 p.m.Officers from different clubswill be there to present infor-mation and get people excit-ed about club sports.

Club sports coordinatorMark Lattin said, “The idea isto give them the opportunityto promote their sports andfor those interested to get in-formation on those sports,and to meet the people whoare in charge.”

In attendance will beabout 12 different clubs, in-cluding various field sports,martial arts clubs, the volley-ball club and trap/skeet repre-sentatives.

Even though they are notas intense and rigorous asvarsity sports programs, clubsports have a lot going forthem.

“There are two main ben-efits,” Lattin said, “If youwere involved in varsitysports [in high school], butdidn’t want to devote so

much time to it in college,[club sports] give the oppor-tunity to continue with thesport you love. Also, if youwere ever interested in a sportyou didn’t get to try, this is agreat way to get involved.”

Forestry freshman BlakeGrigsby plays rugby for UKand spoke about how easy itwas to get involved.

“A couple of rugby guyshelped me move in at the be-ginning of the semester, andsaid I should come out andplay sometime. So I showedup at the field one day andwas learning and playing im-mediately.”

Aside from the exercisethat he gets from playingtwice a week for a couplehours and on weekendgames, Grigsby identifiedanother benefit. “It’s a great

way to make friends andmeet people. Hanging outwith the rugby guys is great,and I probably wouldn’thave met them if not for theclub.”

Varsity teams are not the only option at UK

TESTEDContinued from page 1

enough to each other and Al-abama’s Ben Eblen stuck hishand out and got a deflection.

“The guy muscles Doronoff,” Calipari said. “We showit on tape all the time and saythis is why you lose closegames.”

Alabama hit one of twofree throws for a two-pointlead, and UK was inboundingthe ball with 2.5 seconds leftunder its own basket. Thepass went to Terrence Jonesaround half court, who turnedand heaved a shot from halfcourt. It clanked high off thebackboard, as the last chanceat a dramatic come back felltwo points short.

But while the comebackwas valiant, the originaldeficit was UK’s fault. A lackof energy and careless pass-ing contributed to five earlyturnovers, and UK was get-ting outrebounded and out-muscled. Alabama outre-bounded UK 41-34.

“They manhandled us,”Calipari said. “The first how-ever long they controlled thegame.”

This was the kind of nightit was in the first 25 minutes:

In the opening minutes of thesecond half, Josh Harrellsonmissed an uncontested dunk.On the other end, Alabamadrilled an uncontested three.

“We took a lot of bad

shots,” Calipari said. “Wehad some guys out there whojust couldn’t play that game.We had young guys and wemade young inexperiencedmistakes.”
