Surprise, confusion, fearand pain were Americans’ re-actions as they found outabout the events of Sept. 11,2001.
The terror that occurredbetween 8:26 a.m., when thefirst plane hit the World TradeCenter in New York, and10:03 a.m., when the fourthplane crashed in aShanksville, Pa., field, ended2,996 lives and changed thecourse of American history.One decade later, peopleacross the na-tion and onUK’s campusprepare to re-member thosewho died onthat day.
In com-memorationof Sept. 11,2001, specialm e m o r i a lservices willtake place oncampus starting Friday andending Monday.
Friday at 9 a.m., the UKPershing Rifles Cadets areholding their annual memori-al for the victims and sur-vivors of the attacks on theWorld Trade Center, Pentagonand United Airlines Flight 93.The event will take place atthe flagpole on Administra-tion Lawn until 5 p.m.
Members of the ROTCfraternal organization will re-cite the name of every victimlost in the attacks and repre-sent each of their lives with aminiature American flag infront of the Main Building.
“First and foremost, wewant the memorial to honorthe victims,” said U.S. ArmyLt. Jason Cummins. He iscurrently an ROTC instructorat UK.
Lt. Cummins was directlyaffected by the 9/11 attacks.
When he realized thatAmerica was under attack,Cummins said that as a sol-dier he had a sense of duty forhis country.
Cummins served the U.S.as a soldier in Iraq andAfghanistan between 2005and 2008.
“The 9/11 generation haslost almost 6,200 soldiers,and I’m proud to say I servedalongside them while fightingfor our country,” Cumminssaid.
A national moment of si-lence will take place acrosscampus at 9:11 a.m. to honorthose lost in the attacks.
The Lexington firefight-ers are sponsoring a run/walkon the morning of Sept. 11 at8 a.m.
The Run for Remem-brance 4.03-mile run/walkwill be at Coldstream Re-search Campus on NewtownPike. It is held to honor the343 New York City firefight-ers, 23 police officers and 37port authority officers whodied in the line of duty duringthe World Trade Center at-
tacks. UKC h i l d r e n ’sHospital willreceive allp r o c e e d sfrom theevent.
On Mon-day, Sept. 12,the UK Cen-ter for Com-munity Out-reach will
have an “IWill” wall at the Student Cen-ter patio. Everyone on cam-pus is invited to take a fewmoments to write how theywill be committed to helpingothers over the course of nextyear.
“Sept. 11 is a national dayof service and remembrance,”said Jillian L. Pyatte, coordina-tor of the Community Out-reach office of Student In-volvement at UK, in an emailto the Kernel. “And as theCenter for Community Out-reach, we felt it was our dutyto provide a resource and out-let to our students, faculty andstaff who would like to partici-pate in commemorating the10th anniversary of 9/11.”
In addition to memorialevents honoring fallen heroesof 9/11, UK students and staffhave also been constructing apermanent memorial.
UK students and faculty inthe College of Design recentlycompleted a 9/11 memorialthat will tour the common-wealth state. The project beganwhen the college was contact-ed by St. Elizabeth’s Hospice.
“They had petitioned awhile ago to be awarded a por-tion of an ‘I-beam’ from theWorld Trade Center with theintention to work with UKY-CoD to create a mobile memo-rial,” said Timothy Rash, a UKCollege of Architecture profes-

Breaking down the key matchups inUK’s home opener against CentralMichigan on Saturday.
UK wide receivers vs. their weekone performance
In week one against Western Ken-tucky, UK junior quarterback MorganNewton completed just seven passes for97 yards. Remove guard Stuart Hines’six-yard reception and the receiverscombined for just six catches for 91yards; not the kind of coming out partythe wideouts had in mind as they con-tinue to adjust to the post-Randall Cobbera.
The receivers had their opportuni-ties against WKU but struggled to holdon to the football, dropping numerouspasses in key situations against the Hill-toppers. After the Cats narrowly es-caped LP Field with a 14-3 victory,much of the blame for the team’s strug-gles was placed on the receivers, lead-ing to discussion of a shake-up at theposition this week. But UK head coachJoker Phillips said following Wednes-day’s practice that the offense has re-grouped in preparing for Central Michi-gan and that he is confident in his re-ceivers to hold onto the football againstthe Chippewas.
“It was definitely a lot better todayand a lot of that has to do with under-standing what we are seeing on defenseafter studying Central Michigan forthree days,” Phillips said of UK’s of-fense. “But we shouldn’t have anyproblems throwing and catching theball, regardless of who we are playing.”
In the friendly confines of Com-monwealth Stadium on Saturday, the re-ceivers will finally have a secondchance to prove to their teammates,coaches, fans and even themselves thatthey can find their niche in the offenseand hold on to the football before UKreaches SEC play. If they fall flat again,
Phillips has indicated that he is willingto give some younger receivers a look.With playing time and starting spots onthe line, expect the receivers to comeout of the tunnel on Saturday ready toimpress.
The edge: The UK receivers playingfor their jobs.
UK offensive line vs. Central Michi-gan defense
The passing game was not the onlything holding back the Cats’ offenseagainst Western Kentucky; the runninggame managed just 93 yards on 33 car-ries in week one. Likewise, in CentralMichigan’s week one matchup againstSouth Carolina State, the Chippewasheld the Bulldogs to only 59 yards on43 carries, an average of 1.4 yards percarry.
Against the Hilltoppers, UK’s of-fensive line looked helpless as it tried tobe assertive in the trenches, providingfew running lanes for the backs behindthem to take. Center Matt Smith andright tackle Billy Joe Murphy were heldout of practice this week, and their sta-

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles authori-ties have arrested three men who allegedlystole a car featured on the reality TV show“Bait Car.”
The car is rigged to record potentialthieves using a hidden video camera and totrap them in the vehicle until officers canshow up to arrest them.
But on Aug. 8th there was a mechanicalmalfunction that allowed four men to steal thesedan at La Brea Avenue near 30th Street anddrive off instead of getting trapped.
The vehicle is used by an auto-theft taskforce of the California Highway Patrol, theLos Angeles Police Department and the LosAngeles County Sheriff, said LAPD Cmdr.Andy Smith.
“Bait Car,” which runs on cable networkTruTV, films some of the task force's cases,but it's not clear whether crews were filmingthe day the car was stolen.
The car, which authorities would not de-scribe because they didn't want to tip off fu-ture potential thieves, was recovered later thatday.
Two men were arrested the day the carwas stolen, but the other two were still beingsought in the crime, police said. After almost amonth, an officer with the LAPD HollywoodDivision's Parole Impact team saw a bulletincontaining a still photo from video of the theftand recognized a probationer known to fre-quent the area.
Within an hour, officers had collared theman, whose identity was not immediately re-leased because the investigation is continuing.
In the last eight months, the Parole ImpactTeam has contacted some 400 parolees and ar-rested approximately 175 of them for paroleviolations, Smith said.

sor, in an email to the Kernel.Upon being commissioned,
Rash and other design facultydecided to have a contest amongtheir students to design a basefor the I-beam.
Rash said when the 126-pound beam arrived, it was dis-torted and the original winningdesign was no longer going towork.
“It gave me goose bumps,and I understood I needed to dosomething that was elegant andwould honor everything the I-beam represents,” Rash said.
He handpicked MichaelMead and Ben Ward to help himmake May’s design a reality.
Over the course of two and ahalf months, they constructedthe base and brought the beamback to life.
Rash said the group wantedthe base to be “powerful,” whilestill complementing the I-beamto make sure it was still the fo-cus.
Rash said he is honored hewas able to participate in the9/11 memorial’s creation.
“The events have had an im-pact on everyone and havechanged the country forever withor without memorials,” Rashsaid. “It means to me that theworld is not a very happy place.
“When I think of the firemenand officials that rushed to helpevacuate the towers, knowingthat they are in harms way, pur-posely for the existence of thosein danger, I just hope that theworld can glean some of that hu-manity.”

Jazmine Shoup, a sopho-more Honors Program am-bassador, said that the semi-nars give everyone a chanceto talk equally and share re-warding experiences fromthe Honors Program.
“It exemplifies how suc-cessful and dedicated theHonors Program has been inchallenging and guiding stu-dents,” Shoup said.

Pam Poe Biddle, the special projectsand event coordinator.
“It’s a showcase Wednesday,Thursday and Friday, and a reunionfor the college,” she said.
People not in the College ofAgriculture can also attend. Statelegislators come to view the events,along with city council membersand sponsors.
Close to 4,000 people are ex-pected to be at the roundup this year,Toombs said.
The College came together for apicnic Thursday outside the E. S.
Good Barn.Thursday provides interaction
between incoming students, staff,alumni and the community ofagriculture who come in to theevents.
“Thursday is a Lexington com-munity day,” Toombs said. “Weare in the middle of an urban envi-ronment and the College of Agri-culture is still relevant here aswell.”
Hannah Shear, an animal scienceand agricultural economics senior,said the picnic is mostly for studentsto visit with alumni.
“It helps with networking withalumni because some of them arebusiness owners,” she said. “Kids
come and talk to alumni and some-times receive internships with justgoing and talking to them.”
The week comes to a close Sat-urday morning for the final reunionsand appreciations payed toward thealumni.
UK President Eli Capilouto willbe in attendance Saturday, visitingwith alumni under the tents.
The final meal of the week willprovide this year’s meat sponsor,Kentucky Poultry Chicken, Toombssaid.
Student participation is a largepart of the week.
“Students help cook and servethe alumni,” Shear said. “Some ofus are up at 6:30 in the morning
everyday this week cooking for2,000 people.”
Many people contribute to thesuccess of Roundup, Biddle said.
The department works togetherthroughout the week to make it allpossible.
“We’re proud of what we areand what we have accomplished,”Toombs said. “It’s not like Pam (PoeBiddle) and I just came in — it’sbeen 40 years of roundup organiza-tion.”
The Roundup is more than justan event, Biddle said.
“It goes back to being a family,whether you’re a student or an em-ployee, it’s a family here. It’s like abig family reunion,” she said.

tus for Saturday’s game is still unknown. TossHines, who has practiced with the team this weekbut is still recovering from a sprained knee, intothe mix, and UK’s sturdy veteran offensive linesuddenly looks vulnerable.
With two inexperienced backs, sophomoreRaymond Sanders and true freshman JoshClemons, splitting carries, combined with UK’slack of a true fullback, it will be up to the offen-sive line to live up to preseason expectations andestablish a running game against Central Michi-gan.
The edge: The offensive line, because UK’srunning game will pose more of a threat toCentral Michigan than South Carolina State’sdid.
Central Michigan quarterback Ryan Radcliffvs. UK’s secondary
The Cats’ defense looked dominant in week
one, holding Western Kentucky to just threepoints for the game. But while players like de-fensive tackle Luke McDermott, linebackersDanny Trevathan and Ronnie Sneed and safetyWinston Guy excelled close to the line ofscrimmage against the Hilltoppers, the second-ary, at times, was exposed. On two differentplays in the first 20 minutes of the game, WKU quarterback Kawaun Jakes missed twowide open receivers in the end zone after hisreceivers blew past the UK secondary. Bring-ing Guy into the box as a safety helped UKcontain WKU running back Bobby Rainey andput pressure on Jakes in the pocket, but it alsoleft the rest of UK’s defensive backs on an is-land in coverage.
Radcliff completed 14 of 27 passes for168 yards, two touchdowns and two intercep-tions last week against South Carolina State.While his numbers were not overwhelming,he proved to the UK coaching staff that he isable to manage the Chippewas’ offense andput the ball in the end zone through the air,more than Jakes could say a week ago. WhileCentral Michigan may not be a nationalchampionship contender, when a receiver is
open, Radcliff will find him, making it imper-ative that the secondary locks down on Rad-cliff’s targets.
Senior cornerbacks Anthony Mosley and Ran-dall Burden must show they can play one-on-onecoverage in co-defensive coordinator RickMinter’s defense or the Cats will struggle to stopthe pass. By adding pressure at the line of scrim-mage, Minter hopes his defense will create moreturnovers, an area in which UK struggled a yearago, but his secondary must respond in coveragefor the defense to excel.
The edge: The secondary. While it may notbe in midseason form again this week, therest of the defense should be able to pickup the slack to slow down Radcliff’s passingattack.
Overall edge: UK. Following last week’sscare, Phillips and his team are eager totake the field again and prove to Big BlueNation that they are ready to compete inthe SEC and make a run to what could betheir six straight bowl appearance.

For quite some time now,I have been plotting to writesomething about the impend-ing SEC expansion. Aftermany delays, it looks like themoment is finally here, or soit seems.
Texas A&M officials hadprepared an official an-nouncement for Wednesdaythat would unveil their plansto become the 13th memberof the Southeastern Confer-ence. Just as they werestopped in their tracks bySEC officials a few weeksago, the Aggies are onceagain being held hostage, thistime by eight teams in theBig 12 that voted againsttheir move.
For the Aggies move tothe SEC to go cleanly, it willrequire Oklahoma to stay inthe Big 12, a move that willlikely save the future of theconference. No SEC expan-sion will occur until thoseeight schools waive theirright to pursue litigationagainst the SEC and Texas
A&M.Even with all the prob-
lems being presented to bothparties, the move will morethan likely happen.
In looking ahead, themost important question is,what does this mean for thefuture of UK football?
Notice I didn’t mentionbasketball there. I didn’t forgood reason. The SEC is allabout football; it is the con-ference’s breadwinner.
Although basketball isconsidered king in the Blue-grass, football brings in ap-proximately $13 millionmore than basketball, accord-ing to a report obtained byKristi Dosh, a writer forSportsMoney on Forbes.com.That particular stat, based onthe 2009-10 school year,showed that UK football hada total profit of $17,984,848.
Getting back on topic,UK football could be havinga severely rocky road ahead.While the Aggies will onlypose a problem to those inthe West, barring any realign-ment, the Cats will have togain a new foe in order forthe SEC to balance itself out.Already playing the role ofunderdog, UK will face thechallenge of attempting torise — no pun intended —
through an even stronger di-vision in the East.
Recent recruiting successhas opened up head coachJoker Phillips to new pipelinestates in surrounding areas,but that could come to ascreeching halt. The problemlies in the fact that the im-pending addition of newteams will allow those teamsto pitch to recruits the abilityto play in the best conferenceagainst the best players in thenation. On top of that, theprospects tossed around aspossible teams on the SEC’sradar have a rich history offootball success.
With the exception ofTexas A&M, other possibleadditions to the SEC includethe West Virginia, VirginiaTech, Florida State, Missouri,Maryland and Clemson.
What are Joker’sthoughts?
During an Aug. 13 post-
practice interview, Phillipsjokingly acted as if he wasunaware of any talk of a pos-sible expansion. Once on top-ic, Phillips told the media,“It’s not a big deal to me. Ifit expands, it expands, and ifit doesn’t, it doesn’t.”
By comparison, I would-n’t expect members of BigBlue Nation to share thesame sentiments as their headfootball coach.
For fans looking for futuresuccess for the football pro-gram, this could throw awrench into those plans unlessUK gets on the fast track totaking the next step. Datingback to 2002, the Cats havefinished only a high of fourthin the SEC East (four times).The inclusion of one, possiblytwo, more teams makes hopefor a third SEC Champi-onship, and the first since1976, even more improbablefor an evolving program.

UK alumnus releases eclectic albumUK alumnus Tarik Adams
returned to Lexington thissummer on a Wednesdaynight for his debut perform-ance at Cosmic Charlie’s. The2009 integrated strategic com-munications graduate is now arecording artist, pursuing adream that had been put onhold during his undergraduatecareer.
“We had almost 200 peo-ple come out to (CosmicCharlie’s),” said Adams,whose real name is Tarik Nal-ly, of the June 8 concert, “Iwanted to reintroduce myself… for me, as an artist, it wastough doing a 40-minute setwhen people only knew onesong on the project.”
At the time, Adams had
only released one single onhis project “Tigers and Girls,”which debuts in LexingtonFriday at his album releaseparty and Sunday online forfree to the world. That song— “Wake Up” — was theone he hoped those 200 peo-ple would know well enoughto sing along to as they wel-comed him back.
“I’m really excited tocome back and perform …especially at UK because peo-ple will have had time to lis-ten to my music,” Adamssaid.
The co-founder of Diver-sity Dialogues on UK’s cam-pus was also involved in UKStudent Government and wasa student ambassador. Now,the 24-year-old says he wish-es he would have been morepersistent with music.
“During undergrad I justfelt like we didn’t have a con-nection to the resources weneeded to actually record,” hesaid, “but if you want to domusic, get it in gear now be-cause you have the opportuni-ty to have the whole studentbody behind you. UK is a re-ally supportive community.”
The once over-achieveron campus has now adoptedthat work ethic as a lifestyle.Since graduating, Adams hasdeveloped his label, FeelFree; done some freelance ad-vertising; and started on hisMaster of Business Adminis-tration degree at Xavier Uni-versity while he lives inCincinnati.
Now his label has grownfrom a start-up idea with achildhood friend to a workingbrand with four artists —
Adams, Lexington natives JCannon and Fatal, andLouisville rapper Jalin Roze,who has recently established amajor blog presence after re-leasing his third project.
“Me and my partner JoshLa Rock started Feel Free myfreshman year in college,”Adams said. “Now we’reworking hard to build the la-bel up and get it national …outside the region.”
Adams said his advice forcollege students who have apassion for music is to put inthe effort and get the resourcestogether now, especially withsocial media at hand.
“I didn’t have Twitter as asophomore in college to con-nect with people every day; Iwas introduced to a blog myjunior year, and now everyonehas five Tumblrs,” said
Adams, who learned the “tag-ging photo” marketingscheme on Facebook whilestudying at UK.
“The Internet is at yourdisposal,” he said. “Makequality music and stay true toyourself. There are people outthere who will like yoursound.”
Adams calls “Tigers andGirls” versatile with elementsof pop, rock, hip-hop andmore. He said he wanted toshow his love for music.
“The title just came to myhead and I put it on Facebookand a lot of people ‘liked’ mystatus,” he said. “As I devel-oped the concept … it justbecame an interesting way ofsaying ‘bad girls’ and ‘goodgirls.’”
During his time at UK,Adams identified Chester
Grundy, director of the MartinLuther King Cultural Center,and Sonya Cunningham, anadviser in the College ofNursing, as his mentors andmotivators.
“I had so many mentors atUK,” Adams said. “Theywere really helpful when itcame to pursuing mydreams.”
The “Tigers and Girls” al-bum release party takes placeFriday evening at DevassaBar and Lounge at 10 p.m.Admission is $5 and a hard-copy of the album will beavailable for $8. The albumwill be available online Sun-day night for free atTarikAdams.com, and the par-ty is hosted by Lexington res-ident DJ Always and NYCdeejay Terry Urban (Santo-gold, Lil’ Wayne, Coldplay).

Luis Orta has a passion for run-ning, and it turns out he is verygood at his passion. A first placefinish for the Cats’ runner cappedan amazing weekend for UK’scross country team in Nashville,Tenn. Orta’s individual time of15:22.40 in the 5K portion of theevent elevated the UK team to vic-tory with 62 points. Four days afterthe win, Orta was recognized as theSEC Men’s Runner of the Week.According to Orta, credit must bedelivered partially to his tough off-season training.
“During the summer I race andpractice in my home country ofVenezuela, so I’m already in shapefor the beginning of the seasonwhen I get back to UK,” Orta said.
Orta was born and raised inCaracas, Venezuela. He was recruit-ed by UK after high school and de-cided it was the best fit for him. Hethen made the voyage to the UnitedStates, but it was not without diffi-culties.
“Before I moved to Kentucky,I didn’t know very much English,”Orta said. “The transition was dif-ficult to make, but the teachers andcoaches have really helped me alot. The support has been incredi-ble.”
It is evident that this studentathlete has made much progresssince arriving at UK. He is current-ly working on a double major in in-ternational commerce and Spanish,with a minor in Latin AmericanStudies. Orta added with a smile, “Ilove Lexington; it is an awesomeplace. I’m happy and comfortable,
and I really appreciate the safetyhere. It’s a dream come true.”
The future looks bright for Orta.He will compete in the Pan Ameri-can Games hosted by Guadalajara,Mexico, in October. This particularevent is second only to theOlympics in terms of importance tothe sport of cross-country. Orta willparticipate in the 5K race and the3K steeplechase event, both con-ducted on regular track surfaces.When asked about what Orta needsto do in preparation for the PanAmerican Games, UK cross coun-try head coach Don Weber said,“What he can do is to continue towork hard and be daring on thetrack. He has to be willing to takerisks during the race to discover hisfull ability and potential.”
The term “team player” istossed around loosely these days in
the current landscape of collegeathletics, but not when it comes toOrta. His goal for UK’s cross-coun-try team is to compete at the topend of the SEC during the 2011-2012 campaign and make the play-offs at the national level. Civic dutyis also on the agenda when Orta isnot at the track.
“Last year I did a shoe drivewith teammate Josh Nadzam forless fortunate people,” Orta said.“Giving back to the community isvery important to me.”
UK also has Orta as an ambas-sador to Venezuela. Cats fans liveand cheer from just about everycorner of the world, including hishometown of Caracas.
“Everyone back home in myfamily wears UK gear that I sentthem,” Orta said. “They all knowabout UK sports.”

The UK women’s soccer team(5-0-0) welcomes the Louisville Car-dinals to Lexington Friday as part ofthe Tropical Smoothie Invitational.
Head coach Jon Lipsitz expectsan electric atmosphere for one of themost intense rivalries in the country.
“When I was hired here almostthree years ago, I didn’t really un-derstand what this rivalry meant, “Lipsitz said. “But it was so loud thefirst time we played that my playerscouldn’t hear me. That environmentis what we love about athletics, es-pecially here at UK.”
Louisville enters the game witha 1-3-1 record, having lost bothgames in its tournament last week-end against Central Michigan andBaylor — a tournament that UKwon after beating both teams.
But, being favored in a game ofthis magnitude, the excitement willbe at a high level.
“The mentality is always a littlehigher for this game,” junior for-ward Kelsey Hunyadi said. “We’regoing to be pumped up, but at thesame time we need to stay level-headed. The excitement can be agood thing.”
UK is off to its best start in 10years. To keep that the undefeatedstreak going, Lipsitz says his teammust continue to focus on the littlethings.
“We have really spent the ma-jority of the week focusing on our-selves,” Lipsitz said. “The key thisearly in the season is focusing onthe minor details. I think we’vedone that well and will have to con-tinue in order to beat Louisville.”
The game is advertised as UKStudent Night, and the first 50 UKstudents through the gate have achance to win UK Nike gear. It isalso the first Fraternity Challengenight. Game time is set for 7:30.
