PHOTO BY EMILY WUETCHER | STAFFStudents eat at K Lair Grill on Oct. 31. The dining establishment has been a staple on campus for more than 50 years, serving such favorites as burgers and grilled cheese.
UK is preparing to say goodbyeto its oldest eatery, as officials an-nounced its demolition last month.
K Lair, a grill on Hilltop Avenueon South Campus, will be torn downalong with Haggin Hall as a part ofplans for Phase II-A of UK’s public-private housing partnership, clearingthe way for new residence halls.
A new Haggin Hall is plannedwhere Haggin and K Lair now stand.
Officials plan to fill the diningvoid with a glass structure there,temporarily being called HagginPavilion, that will offer more diningoptions. The pavilion will be along abus line, making it accessible forboth students and nonstudents.
Robert Mock, UK’s vice presidentfor student affairs, expects K Lair tocome down in summer of 2013.
The decision to tear down KLair came shortly after the grill wasrenovated for about $50,000 beforethe start of last school year.
Plans for the renovation beganbefore the plans for Phase II-A wereever considered.
“We have to continually thinkabout our current environment notknowing absolutely when we’re go-ing to have something new and bet-ter,” Mock said.
The renovations were not a fac-tor in the decision to tear down thebuilding, Mock insisted.
“Fifty-thousand is very smallcompared to the scope of a largemultimillion-dollar facility,” he said.
The elimination of K Lair leavesOvids Café and Commons as thedining options for students on SouthCampus.

A 4.3 magnitude earth-quake was reported at 12:08p.m. Saturday in Eastern Ken-tucky.
The earthquake’s epicenterwas about 8 miles west ofWhitesburg, Ky., and 46 milesnorth northwest of Kingsport,Tenn., said John Bellini, geo-physicist with the U.S. Geo-logical Survey.
He said the earthquakewas felt as far north asColumbus, Ohio, almost as farsouth as Atlanta, across partsof Central Kentucky and theKentucky-Indiana state line,and in parts of Virginia andNorth Carolina.
“It’s uncommon to seeearthquakes of this size butit’s not unlikely for it to hap-pen,” Bellini said. “They doget large ones from time totime” in this area.
He said a 3.1 magnitudeearthquake occurred within100 miles of this one in De-cember 2011. In 1995, a 4.0magnitude earthquake oc-curred within 10 miles of thearea.
A UK news release saidthere have been no reports ofsignificant damage, other thanitems falling off shelves orwalls.
STAFF REPORT
At magnitude4.3, felt acrossmultiple states
UK’s Blackboard systemis showing off its newfacelift.
Changes will soon bemade to Blackboard begin-ning with a new login page.
Ashley Tabb, the UKITcommunications manager,said in an email to the Kernelthat the login page will have anew appearance, with the lo-gin boxes moved to the mid-dle of the screen, and linksmoved from the right side ofthe screen to the left side.
“The login page will havea cleaner, less cluttered look,”
Tabb said. More updates are expect-
ed to be made to Blackboardin the spring. These changeswill offer a number of waysfor students to access linksand shortcuts in Blackboardfor course material they usethe most.
Tabb said that in the pasttwo years, small changes in-cluding the addition of blogs,wikis, webcam recordingsand saving within a coursemedia gallery, were added tohelp move Blackboard to-ward a navigation that reflectsuser cues in social media.
Three new features alsowill be available by spring
2013: a cloud-based calendar,an analytics dashboard tohelp students view courseperformance from a glance,and social messaging for stu-dents to communicate viaBlackboard.
The next phase of updatesto Blackboard will includecustomizable profiles andcommunication feeds.
Biology senior MikeGasser said that technology isan important part of teachingand improving student learn-ing.
“I like how the universityis trying to evolve in a waythat makes life as easy as pos-sible for the students,” Gassersaid.

Kohl Crecelius, co-founder and CEO of KrochetKids International, came toUK to speak with studentsabout being an entrepreneurand making a difference inthe world.
Krochet Kids Interna-tional is an organization thathelps women in Uganda andPeru to support their fami-lies by giving them work.
The women are taught tocrochet and then hand-makehats to be sold with the or-ganization, with the profitscoming back to the women.
Students were impressedby the methods that the or-ganization used to help thewomen and their families.
“It was different than Iexpected. Rather than justgiving them things, theyhelped them to make theirlives better,” political sci-ence sophomore Jacob Hartsaid.
Noel Cordle, a high-school English teacher fromthe Oneida Baptist Institute,brought her juniors to theevent.
She said she brought herstudents for more than justlearning about the organiza-tion.
“It’s broadening theirhorizons and opening theireyes to how a homegrownorganization can have such abig effect,” Cordle said.
Student Activities Boarddirector of concerts and inte-grated stategic communica-tion senior Derek Operlewas at the event to show hissupport.
“I think it was good foranyone who is interested inentrepreneurship and forpeople who want to changethe world,” Operle said.

CHICAGO — Walt Disney Co. Chief Ex-ecutive Officer Bob Iger said Thursday that itwould be “premature” to assume that theweakness seen across most of broadcast televi-sion so far in the 2012-13 season signals thedemise of traditional network TV.
Speaking on a conference call after Dis-ney’s release of quarterly earnings, Iger saidthat the increased penetration and usage ofdigital video recorders have shifted ratingsaway from Nielsen’s traditional “live + sameday” ratings metrics.
With the exception of NBC, majority-owned by Comcast Corp., each of the otherBig Four networks — CBS, Disney’s ABCand News Corp.’s Fox — has seen sharp de-clines in ratings among viewers aged 18 to 49so far this season. (News Corp. also ownsMarketWatch, the publisher of this report.)
“I would say that it would be premature toeither write the epitaph (of broadcast networktelevision) or suggest that we’re seeing atrend,” Iger said.
A lack of “big, buzzworthy” new showshas also accounted for the early season’sweakness, he said.
“If you look at NBC, ‘The Voice’ has im-proved their numbers dramatically,” Iger said.
ABC has a number of “serviceable” showsthat should help its ratings outlook, Igeradded.
“Their Sunday schedule with ‘Once Upon
a Time’ and ‘Revenge’ is working,” he said,“and they’ve got ‘Modern Family’ and ‘Grey’s(Anatomy),’ and others — shows with a reallystrong base.”
“Once Upon a Time,” in a prime 8 p.m.EST slot, is now in its second season. The fan-tasy drama, including such characters as SnowWhite, Red Riding Hood and Prince Charm-ing, concerns itself with both a fairy tale envi-ronment and a modern American setting.Though pitted against NBC’s “Sunday NightFootball,” it has held its own.
“Revenge,” which follows at 9 p.m., is thestory of a woman who plots to get even withthe people who had her father condemned to alife prison term for a crime he didn’t commit.It has done well against non-NFL competition.
“Modern Family” and “Grey’s Anatomy”are veterans of the ABC lineup.
Iger said that because so many people nowrecord shows and watch them hours or daysafter they air, Nielsen’s “C3” ratings, whichmeasure shows watched up to three days aftera broadcast, have become a more relevant wayto measure viewership.
The executive added that he hopes thateventually “C7” ratings, covering programswatched as many as seven days after an origi-nal airing, will become the more importantcurrency for advertising rates.

tions, such as temporarybuildings and mobile facili-ties, to provide students witha dining alternative until Hag-gin Pavilion is complete.
In making a decision, offi-
cials will spend time lookingat other schools of comparablesize, such as the University ofTennessee and Ohio State Uni-versity, to see how they han-dled similar situations.
Faculty, staff, studentsand alumni will miss the grill,which has been a staple oncampus for more than 50
years. “I lived in Donovan as a
freshman, so it was my go-toplace,” said integrated strate-gic communication and Span-ish junior Nicole Brown. “I’llbe sad to see it go, but campusis always changing, so I’m notsurprised. Hopefully it’ll be re-placed with something better.”

did not occur overnight, buthave been under way since2010 when a study was initi-ated by Vince Kellen.
Kellen is now the seniorvice provost for academicplanning, analytics and tech-nologies. Tabb said the studywas an experience, analysisand design study to help iden-tify and decompose the userexperience for Blackboard.
This EAD study com-prised five phases: qualitativeresearch, quantitative sur-veys, data analysis and syn-thesis, ideation of solutionsand communication of find-ings. Tabb said that theideation of solutions phaseproduced three findings aboutwhat the Blackboard commu-nity needed to focus on.
One of these findings wasto simplify and streamlineuser access to key Black-board features. Others wereto address support issues and
improve the institutional ap-proach to the university’sadoption of a learning man-agement system.
Students and instructorswere participants in the study.In the quantitative surveys,out of the 4,272 instructorswho received the survey, 521instructors responded with329 valid survey respondents.
Out of the 26,133 stu-dents who were sent the sur-vey 2,182 total responded and1,829 of those were valid sur-vey respondents.
“By understanding thekey experiences of the in-structor and the student whoused this learning manage-ment system,” Tabb said, “theorganization could then prior-itize work and pursue solu-tions based on the importanceof customer experience.”
UK Information Technol-ogy collaborated with Black-board on identifying simplerlogin interface options. UKITalso offered a “lockdownbrowser” product that givesinstructors a more controlled
testing environment.“When this lockdown
browser feature is engaged, astudent taking a test in Black-board is prevented from be-ing able to pause or stop theirtest, changing browsers or us-ing the back button where it’snot allowed,” Tabb said. “Allinstances where testing canbe disrupted.”
To address support issues,UKIT expanded the numberof training materials availableto faculty. UKIT also reor-ganized the UKIT servicedesk and faculty support ar-eas.
For now, the only majorchange students and instruc-tors should expect is the newlook of the login page, as theother changes will take placeincrementally over time.

represents. “I really like the basis,
their purpose for doingwhat they do. I think it’s agood cause, it’s inspira-tional,” civil engineeringjunior Mark Bradley said.
Bradley also said hethought the event could en-courage students to lend ahelping hand.
“The whole programmakes you want to go inthat direction, to try to
make a difference,” hesaid.
Crecelius himself ex-pressed an interest in en-couraging students to begintheir own philanthropic or-ganizations.
“I hope people gain anunderstanding and belief inthemselves from our storyand seeing what we’vedone with something assimple as crocheting,” hesaid.
Crecelius offered ad-vice to students who hopeto make a difference in theworld.
“My biggest piece ofadvice: start,” he said.
Crecelius stressed thatit is a gradual process andnot to be disappointed ifthings don’t take off asquickly as planned.
“I think one of thebiggest things that happensis that everyone wants tohelp out, but their immedi-ate first step is, I want tochange the world,” Cre-celius said. “Don’t thinkthat you have to change theworld right out of the gate.”

CorrectionAn article published online last week contained inaccuracies about the Free to Breathe 5K
Run/Walk. The National Lung Cancer Partnership hosted the event, and participants could pickup race packets at John’s Run and Walk Shop. Also, according to the American Cancer Society,those diagnosed with lung cancer usually have a 15 percent survival rate five years after be-ing diagnosed and breast cancer patients have a 90 percent survival rate five years after be-

UK head coach JohnCalipari expressed concernregarding his team’s tough-ness during his media day in-terview in October.
One month later, thoseworries were manifested, asthe Maryland Terrapins man-handled the Cats on theboards, consistently outhus-tling, outworking and out-toughing the Cats to get tothe basketball.
The Cats survived the as-
sault, winning the game atthe Barclays Center inBrooklyn, N.Y., 72-69 infront of a sold-out crowd of17,732 and a national TV au-dience on ESPN.
Maryland outreboundedthe Cats 54 to 38 andgrabbed 28 offensive re-bounds, the most the Catshad surrendered in a gamesince Feb. 10, 2001, againstMississippi State.
“I’d never seen anythinglike it. I don’t even know ifthey should have run a play,”Calipari said about the Terra-pins. “Just come down andshoot it, rebound it, shoot it,rebound it and then score.”
It was a coming-out partyfor Maryland sophomore
center Alex Len. The 7-foot-1 Lithuanian looked domi-nant in the center againstUK’s tandem of bigs, earninga double-double with 23points and 12 rebounds —both career highs.
“It’s going to show onthe tape. A team with two 7-footers and five guys that canjump above the squareshould not give up 30 offen-sive rebounds,” Calipari said.“So we’ll figure it out.”
The Cats had a slight sizeadvantage Friday, having a 4-inch combined height advan-tage when comparing themost used seven players foreach team.
“Our big guys, we’re stillteaching them. They left the
rim a few times,” Caliparisaid. “Our other defendersgot to go back in there, andthey’ve got to rebound andwe didn’t.”
The Cats closed out onMaryland’s long-range shoot-ers and forced miss aftermiss from behind the arc.The Terrapins went 3-of-19from long range, missingtheir first 14.
Those misses causedlong rebounds on the Terra-pin side of the court, mean-ing the guards had manymore opportunities to cleanup the mess. Time aftertime, it was the Marylandguards crashing the boards,capturing the ball and reset-ting the offense.
Maryland guards com-bined for 17 rebounds. UK’sguards gathered just six.
“Archie Goodwin hadtwo rebounds,” Calipari said.“You’ve got to be kiddingme.”
When asked what Cali-pari would have the teamworking on, junior guard Jar-rod Polson said, “Rebound-ing — among others.”
The Cats will have agreat chance to show im-provement against Duke onTuesday night. The Cats havean 11-inch cumulative heightadvantage over the BlueDevils when comparing sev-en-player rotations thatplayed Friday night.
Despite starting 6-foot-11
senior forward Ryan Kellyand 6-foot-10 senior forwardMason Plumlee, Duke wasoutrebounded by a vastly in-ferior Georgia State team Fri-day.
Despite these advantages,the Cats will have to showtoughness in another nationalTV encounter. If they allowthe Blue Devils to control theboards by outhustling andoutworking them, it will be adisappointing night for theseyoung Cats.
“It’s a great learning op-portunity,” UK sophomoreforward Kyle Wiltjer said. “Iknow we’ll be able to watchfilm, and film doesn’t lie, soit’ll show us all the things weneed to work on.”

Polson a surprisecontributor to win
With starting point guardRyan Harrow ailing with flu-like symptoms, junior guardJarrod Polson took advantageof an opportunity and con-tributed heavily toward a UKopening-night win 72-69 overMaryland in Brooklyn, N.Y.
“He was ready for his op-portunity and as a coachthere’s nothing that makes mehappier,” UK head coach JohnCalipari said. “He was high-energy. We need a bunch ofhigh-energy guys.”
Polson was one of threeCats in double figures, scoring10 points on 4-of-5 shootingfrom the field. Polson had a ca-reer-total seven points going into the game Friday night.
“Him playing like that real-ly got me excited, and it alsogot us all excited,” UK sopho-more forward Kyle Wiltjersaid. “When a guy like thatplays good, we’re just really,really happy for him.”
He was a steadying handguiding the UK offense, dish-ing out three assists with noturnovers in his 22 minutes ofaction — one more minutethan he was on the floor all of
last season. Polson even delivered in
the clutch, stripping a reboundfrom the Terrapins late for aput-back bucket and sinkingtwo free throws in the finalseconds to seal the win.
“I was pretty nervous, justnot even expecting to play thatmuch,” Polson said. “And thenbeing on the line with eightseconds. But we shoot a lot offree throws in practice, so I justtried to stay as calm as possi-ble.”

Opening the regular season inMemorial Coliseum, No. 6 UKHoops registered a 90-50 victory overthe Hornets of Delaware State on Sat-urday.
The meeting was the first betweenthe two schools, as sixth-year UKhead coach Matthew Mitchell put histeam up against the Hornets’ first-yearhead coach, Tamika Louis.
Hitting double figures for the Catswere senior guard A’dia Mathies with16, sophomore Bria Goss with 14 andjunior center DeNesha Stallworthwith 11.
Junior guard Maegan Conwrightwas back for Mitchell’s squad aftermissing Monday’s exhibition againstBellarmine with an ankle injury. Shetallied seven points and four re-bounds, as well as dishing a behind-the-back assist to redshirt sophomoreJennifer O’Neill on the fast break tomuch applause from the 4,637 fans inattendance.
“I think you see she was not atfull speed, but (with) her mentality,her pace, I though we were betterwhen she was in the game,” Mitchellsaid of Conwright’s return.
UK ran a deep rotation, with all13 players putting points on the boardand 10 players seeing at least 10 min-utes of playing time each. Mathies ledthe team in minutes with 28, and
Goss played 23.“We do want a deep rotation, but
they really have to earn that playingtime in practice,” Mitchell said. “Iwas happy everybody got a chance toplay. Wish every game was like that.”
The Cats were accurate from thefield, shooting 54 percent overall and45.5 percent from 3-point range. Onthe other side of the court, UK heldDSU to 37 percent from the field,while not attempting any 3-pointers.Four DSU players were able to score,
with sophomore preseason All-MEAC first-team selection TierraHawkins leading her team with 28points.
“The first part of building ourteam and our defensive identity startswith (a high level of intensity),”Mitchell said.
Louis also praised UK’s defense. “Our second string, or lack thereof,
cannot simulate Kentucky,” she said.“They’re just as good, even better, inperson than they are on film. Andthey’ve gotten better from last year.”
Mathies was happy with the finalresult of her team’s effort.
“We just tried to play Kentuckybasketball. (We) tried to play 40 min-utes of our best, and we felt like if wedo that, we should have a great victo-ry, and we did tonight,” she said.
Mathies also talked about stayingfocused on Delaware State, despitehaving an away game against No. 1Baylor around the corner.
“We know if we don’t focus onevery game and play defense and playoffense like we’re supposed to, thenanybody is capable of beating us, andanybody is capable of beating up any-body,” she said. “We take each gameat a time and our focus tonight (Satur-day) was Delaware State, and I thinkwe went out there and handled busi-ness tonight.”
The Cats play next on the road inWaco, Texas, against No. 1 Baylor at6 p.m. Tuesday (ESPN2).

Freshman forward KelliHubly struck in the thirdminute of overtime as UKwomen’s soccer advanced toround two of the NCAA
Tournament on Friday with a1-0 win over Tennessee-Mar-tin.
Sophomore forward ArinGilliland drove through themidfield, beating four playerson a solo run before threadingto Hubly on her right, who
fired home the goal to sendthe Cats into round two.
The victory marks the firstNCAA Tournament win inUK women’s soccer history.
“This is a really specialmoment for this program,”said UK head coach Jon Lip-sitz.
On a chilly night at UKSoccer Complex, the homeside controlled the game forlarge spells but could not findthe breakthrough goal in reg-ulation.
Freshman forwardKennedy Collier andGilliland both forced savesfrom Mariah Klenke in theSkyhawks’ goal in a frustrat-ing first half for the hosts.
The second half was thesame story for the Cats asthey played possession soccerbut were unable to find a win-ner.
UT Martin’s SaphyraCoombs-James’ strong tackleon senior forward NatalieHorner was one of manyphysical challenges as thevisitors struggled to keep UKat bay.
“That was probably themost physical game we’veplayed all year,” Gillilandsaid. “It was tough but weworked it out.”
Gilliland twice lost hermarker late in regulation toget on the end of a pair ofcrosses from Hubly andfreshman forward Kara Led-man, but the Lexington nativecouldn’t find the net.
“She’s a very cheeky,smooth player,” said UT Mar-tin midfielder Lucy Parter, ofGilliland. “She’s very quickand smart and it’s hard tomark a player like that.”
UK came out for the sud-den death overtime periodflying, with freshman mid-fielder Olivia Jester andGilliland going close in theopening two minutes.
A minute after her fierceeffort was saved, Gillilandpicked out Hubly, whoslammed into the bottom cor-ner before being mobbed byher delighted teammates.
“I didn’t think it was reallife,” Hubly said. “It was agreat pass by Arin.”
The Cats will now fly toSan Diego for round two ofthe NCAA Tournament onFriday.
UK will play the UCLABruins, who defeated Wis-consin 1-0 in a first roundcontest Saturday night. TheNo. 6 Bruins are 16-2-2 onthe season.

The Republican Party mustchange if we expect our party tostart winning more elections. That
is the bottomline. This coun-try is changing ina lot of greatways, but forsome reason,many Republi-cans are unwill-ing to changewith the times.
Some Re-publicans run-ning in thiselection severe-ly tarnished the
name of our party. People such as Todd Akin
from Missouri who stated that if itis a legitimate rape the femalebody has ways to shut that wholething down and Richard Mour-dock from Indiana who said that ifa woman got raped it was becauseGod intended it to happen, createdistractions and distort the largerissues of the election. I was per-sonally ashamed that these twomen were not run out of town bymembers of our own party. WhenAkin first made those commentsthere were several Republicanswho called for him to step down,but there were others such as for-mer presidential hopeful MikeHuckabee who stood alongsideAkin and his disgraceful com-ments. Then there is Rush Lim-baugh who called Sandra Fluke a“slut” for asking government topay for her birth control. All ofthese comments take away fromthe larger issue of the terrible jobObama is doing. These commentsprovided a break in the attentionthat was going to Obama’s poorhandling of the economy and in-stead switched the focus towomen’s rights. The Republicanparty allowed two men to single-handedly create the notion thatRepublicans are anti-women.These two men should have beenostracized for the idiots that they
are. Instead of the Republicanscreating a solid wall of oppositionto these two men and their com-ments, men such as Huckabee andothers made it seem as if theseviews are actually entertained byother Republicans, which broughtour whole party lower.
Religion should have no placein our party’s decisions. I’m notsaying that people running for of-fice can’t tell people that they be-lieve in God or what their reli-gious viewpoints are, but don’tuse God as a reason for beingagainst gay marriage. Why is itthat the majority of Republicansare against gay marriage? We aresupposed to be the party that isagainst larger government and forfreedom for the individual. Wecannot preach for smaller govern-ment and greater responsibility forindividuals and then say we areagainst gay marriage. It is not thegovernment’s place to tell societywho can marry who. Who are youto say you can’t marry someonewhen you love them? If we are forsmaller government we cannot in-sert ourselves into the lives of in-dividuals. That is not preachingfreedom and personal responsibili-ty. What two people do in theirown homes is none of our busi-ness and we should treat it assuch.
Let’s be honest. There is noway that there will be laws createdsaying abortion is legal or illegal.America is split right down themiddle in regard to abortion. Soinstead of spending so much timeand risk alienating large groups ofpeople talking about abortion whynot state your opinion in a singlesentence: I am pro-life and let thatbe the end of it. Abortion is howpeople like Todd Akin andRichard Mourdock drag the rest ofus down with their moronic view-points. Republicans and Democ-rats could argue that cats are betterthan dogs but no party is going tomake it illegal to have one. Abor-tion is the same way.
Immigration is another issuethat we need to rethink. This elec-tion Obama got 70 percent of theHispanic vote. That is a staggeringamount of votes. Hispanics gener-ally vote Democrat because theyhave a more relaxed stance on im-migration. Instead of shouting thatwe need to deport every single il-legal immigrant in this country,we should talk about the biggerpicture. Illegal immigration is aproblem because this country’sborders are not secure. If youlived in a generally poor countrywith no prospect of having a bet-ter life would you not try to gosomewhere where your kids canhave a better future and becomesomething in this world? If youknew all you had to do was crossa river or climb through a fence inorder to have a better life, wouldyou not do that? I for one can saythat without a doubt I would. In-stead of punishing the immigrantswho made an easy decision to tryto have a better life we need to fo-cus on border security. When Re-publicans get in front of the publicand spout off that we need to getrid of these illegal aliens whohave no business being here itmakes us look terrible. It is Amer-ica’s fault that illegal immigrantscould get into this country in thefirst place. Republicans need tosay that we need to secure the bor-der and allow those that came intothis country illegally, searching fora better life, to stay. That in and ofitself could help us get at leastsome Hispanic votes.
As Republicans we mustchange with the times. We mustcast out the people who make in-flammatory remarks that are bor-derline insane. We need to rethinkour stance on gay marriage andimmigration.
If we can do this it will be in-evitable that we win more elec-tions, cycle after cycle.

After two years of presidentialprimaries, debates and television
ads, the Americanelectorate has fi-nally spoken.However, nowthat the nation’sattention will bein fine focus onits re-electedpresident, it can-not afford to letCongress runamuck like it hasso frequentlydone the pastthree years. With the re-
election of President Barack Oba-ma, there needs to be more pres-sure on Congress to straighten upand fly right. The latest Real ClearPolitics Poll shows Congress hav-ing a 17 percent approval rating.
After all, it was the GOP con-gressional members led by Ken-tucky’s own Sen. Mitch McConnellwho vowed to vote no for any lawthe president wanted to get passed.
Hopefully what both politicalparties will gain from this electionis that they cannot afford to wasteany more time in Washington, D.C.
Sometimes it seems like De-mocrats and Republicans forgotwhat made the ratification of ourConstitution possible — compro-mise. Over the past three yearsCongress has over familiarized citi-zens with political controversy, dis-agreement and quarrel.
The nation’s legislative bodyhas been known to strike downbills meant to create jobs, aid veter-ans and create middle-class tax re-
lief. If the newly elected senatorsand representatives allow this peri-od of legislative stagnation to per-sist, then it endangers the well-be-ing of our country’s growth andprogression economically and so-cially.
Instead of fighting over billsbecause of personal interests, con-gressmen and congresswomenshould be focusing on working inbipartisan collaboration with theirrespective party’s counterparts toget laws passed that will serve thecommon good. Even slow progres-sion is better than no progression.
The more polarized our federalrepresentatives are, the more it willhurt America’s future generations.As long as they are not passinglegislation, it’s just kicking impor-tant issues like Social Securitydown a long and winding road withno end in sight. That means stu-dents in college now will have topay for it in the future.
I’m sorry to be the bearer ofapprehension, but the idea that ob-struction is going to help our coun-try is asinine. I don’t know aboutthe rest of America, but I’m notcontent with how I, and thosearound me, have had to live sincethe recession started.
President Obama wants to workwith Republicans, and what Ameri-cans have to open up their eyes andrealize is that Congress has to workout the differences that exist in itscorridors if our country is going toonce again reach its potential as itdid in its Golden Age.

Trouble is brewing forMI6 in Turkey. 007 agentJames Bond and his partner,Eve, are chasing a man whocould singlehandedly bringdown every know undercov-er operative working forNATO.
As the situation slips fur-ther and further from control,Bond takes the foot race atopa speeding train that is con-veniently towering above araging river.
When the mission reach-es desperation, Eve is or-dered by M, leader of MI6,to take a shot on the assailantthat is anything but clean.
Unfortunately for Bond,his melee is cut short byEve’s wandering bullet thatlands him in the purgatorythat is the opening credits.
Meanwhile, London of-ficials are calling for M’sresignation because of theapparent slaughter of agentswhose covers have beenblown to hell by her failureat command. Refusing toleave her department in aworse condition then whenshe started, M rallies the re-maining agents to huntdown this murdering puppetmaster.
After being lulled awakeby Adele’s sweet serenade,Bond also heads back toLondon to finish what hestarted.
Much to their surprise,the saboteur pulling thestrings used to be a superiordouble-0 agent himself.
After both sides ex-change blows, M realizesthat these attacks are muchmore personal than just arogue agent bringing downNATO. This man is after herand everything that she holdsdear.
To put it simply, Bond isback. “Skyfall” is a brilliantsymphony of the saga’s past,present and future.
The conductor of thismasterpiece, Sam Mendes,displays his directingprowess in a way that willchange this franchise forev-er.
Being careful to honorthe old ways of the series,Mendes treats audiences withplenty of mementos fromfilms past as to ease the tran-sition for those who havebeen with Bond from thevery beginning.
Don’t expect any explod-
ing pens: The new directionof Bond tries to be a bit moreplausible than Pierce Brosnanpara-surfing a giant ice wave,or Roger Moore makingmoves on the moon.
With this new direction,“Skyfall” is to Bond what“The Dark Knight” is to Bat-man.
Plausibility gives the filma chance to make the situa-tions far more relatable.When characters aren’t beingchased around by giantlasers, it gives audiencesmore of an opportunity to fo-cus on the human elementthat is born from the intensityof the conflict at hand.
The acting in “Skyfall” isthe absolute best that theBond universe has ever hadthe pleasure of conveying.
Javier Bardem will sendchills up your spine whilemanaging to extract a certain
level of pity at the sametime. That being said,diehard fans may roll theireyes at “Skyfall’s” transfor-mation of Q into a smug 98-pound hipster.
However, these new
faces and places ease thesaga’s powerful new direc-tion, making “Skyfall” theperfect transition intoBond’s extremely promisingfuture.
5/5 stars
