PHOTOS BY BRITNEY MCINTOSH | STAFFCustomers added toppings to their frozen yogurt Sunday at The Orange Leaf. The franchise is expanding to three new stores located at BrightonPlace, Harrodsburg Road and Romany Road.

The Orange Leaf FrozenYogurt franchise is expandingto three new stores and hashopes of opening a location onthe UK campus.

The newest locations areat Brighton Place, Harrods-burg Road and Romany Road,and are expected to be openby March.

“We are actively lookingfor a campus spot,” said EvanMorris, part- owner of theLexington locations. “We haveinvestors that really want to goon campus.”

The first store, located atWest Tiverton Way, opened onOct. 14, 2010.

“We found the idea in Cal-ifornia…nothing had evercome to Lexington like this sowe decided to go for it,” saidMorris, who started the busi-

ness with two high schoolfriends.

The frozen yogurt is self-serve and costs 45 cents anounce, including toppings.

“You have total controlover what you want,” Morrissaid. “It can be different everysingle time.”

“I will utilize the other lo-cations (new stores) more be-cause they are closer,” com-munications senior MeganHensley said.

Hensley said she eats atOrange Leaf at least twice aweek.

Customers at Orange Leafrange from children to adults,Morris said.

“It’s really all over theplace,” Morris said. “Later atnight it’s a good hang out forcollege and high school, dur-

ing the day it’s a lot of fami-lies.”

“That’s awesome, I am ex-cited,” said Rachel Trivette, afreshman dental hygiene stu-dent at Bluegrass Communityand Technical College. “Wewon’t have to drive downNicholasville Road anymore.”

Morris attributes having agood connection with the cus-

tomers and knowing the tastesof Lexington to their success.

Orange Leaf expanding

Two UK students who are studying abroad inEgypt have plans to leave the country after the po-litical rallies and protests have made the countryunsafe.

Joshua Koontz, an international studies andArabic languages and literature junior, is studyingat the University of Alexandria through a programoffered by Middlebury College in Vermont.

Christine Kindler, a history junior, is studyingin Cairo through a program called BestSemester.

Koontz’s program flew to Prague Mondayevening, said Susan Carvalho, associate provostfor International Programs.

Kindler’s program has a flight booked Tuesdaymorning for Istanbul, Turkey, her mother, Mari-anne, said.

Marianne Kindler said the U.S. Embassy hasarranged for charter flights out of Egypt, andChristine’s program will take an earlier flight outof the country if it needs to.

Koontz’s father, Tim, said Koontz has been inEgypt since August.

Tim Koontz said Joshua studied in Cairo forthe fall semester and arrived in Alexandria in Jan-uary four days after a car bomb killed more than20 people at a Coptic Christian church.

Alexandria has become much more of ahotbed for riots and unrest because of members ofthe Muslim Brotherhood who are there, TimKoontz said.

“Some areas are worse than Cairo,” JoshuaKoontz said.

Tensions have been rising in Egypt, his fathersaid, and Koontz realized something would break.

“(Josh) realized,” Tim Koontz said, “(and) I re-alized vicariously that something was very wrongin Egypt, and something was about to happen.”

The revolution in Tunisia has also had an ef-fect in Egypt, Joshua Koontz said.

He said his last Facebook status before the In-ternet was shut down last week said no one couldhave predicted how wide an effect the Tunisianrevolution has had in the Middle East.

Koontz said he had been staying in a studentdorm at the University of Alexandria, but had tomove to an apartment off-campus after protestorsattempted to break through a gate at the university.

Middlebury College had arranged with Egypt-ian contractors to get Koontz’ program out ofEgypt, but the contractors just took the money andnever helped them get out, his father said.

Koontz said the police force had dissolved andmany looters and rioters had taken to the streets.

Talks have begun in Lexington on the possiblerenovation of Rupp Arena.

Lexington Mayor Jim Gray announced a studyto determine the possibility of renovating and re-designing Rupp Arena and the Lexington Conven-tion Center on Tuesday, Jan. 25.

This announcement comes nearly four monthsafter the University of Louisville opened its newbasketball arena, the KFC Yum! Center.

Gray will be appointing a group to study feasi-ble developments of the city’s convention center,which includes Rupp Arena, used by the UKmen’s basketball team, as well as for hotel and re-tail space.

The group will be assembled in the next twoweeks and will be financed using only privatefunding, Gray’s spokeswoman Susan Straub said.

“UK is pleased Gray is stepping up on an issuethat is so important to the community and the uni-versity,” UK Public Relations Director Jay Blantonsaid. “The convention center is an important pieceof downtown, providing commerce, conventionsand basketball. The decision for future renovationsis critical to the community and the UK basketballinstitution.”

Gray only mentioned the options of renovationand redesign, but he did not specifically rule outbuilding a new arena.

“He is waiting for recommendations from thestudy group to determine the possibility for reno-vations, complete redesign and total renovation,

FROZEN TREATS

Redshirt freshman quarterback RyanMossakowski will be leaving the UK footballprogram and transferring to another school.

UK athletics spokesman Tony Neelyconfirmed the news Monday night.

Lexington TV stations WKYT andWLEX also received confirmation ofMossakowski’s desire to transfer from theyoung quarterback and his father.

Mossakowski, a highly touted recruitcoming out of Centennial High School(Frisco, Texas), never managed to see muchplaying time during his career at UK — themain reason he wanted to transfer.

In his first year on campus, Mossakowskiredshirted the campaign while recoveringfrom shoulder surgery. This season,Mossakowski was listed as tied for the No. 2quarterback spot on the depth chart with soph-omore Morgan Newton, but saw limited ac-tion throughout the season taking a few snapsin clean-up duty without recording a pass.

LOS ANGELES—If you thought it was gettingmore expensive to go the movies, your hunch wasright. The average ticket price at theaters in theU.S. and Canada last year rose to an all-time highof $7.89, up 5 percent from $7.50 in 2009,according to the National Assn. of TheatreOwners.

That may seem unusually low to people in LosAngeles and New York, where ticket prices aretypically much higher, but the figure represents anational average of theaters in big cities and smalltowns alike, and includes lower-priced matineesand children's prices.

NATO spokesman Patrick Corcoran attributedthe increase primarily to the increase in 3-Dscreenings, which can add $2.50 to $4 to the tick-et price. Hollywood is expected to release about35 3-D films this year alone, and theater ownersare moving rapidly to accelerate the number of 3-D screens to handle the growing pipeline. Justthis week, Regal Entertainment, the nation'slargest theater operator, announced that it woulddouble its number of RealD 3-D screens.

All of which means ticket prices are likely to

continue to rise. One AMC Theatres location inNew York last summer raised eyebrows when itwas selling $20 tickets for Imax 3-D screeningsof the DreamWorks Animation movie “ShrekForever After.”

The rise in ticket prices came in a year whenbox office was virtually flat with the prior year,reaching $10.6 billion in revenue, while atten-dance dropped 5.3 percent compared with 2009.Still, Corcoran downplayed the effect of ticketinflation on attendance, noting that the increase in2010 was “not way out of line” with averageincreases that have occurred over the last fiveyears and was still below what it was in 1970when factoring in inflation. Then, the averageticket cost $1.55, or $8.71 when adjusted forinflation.

Corcoran attributed the rise in ticket prices tostudios releasing fewer movies and fewer hits inthe latter part of the year.

“People aren't staying away because of ticketprices,” Corcoran said, "they are staying awaybecause of the movies."

He said he and some ofhis friends helped the localneighborhood watch grouptry to keep the neighborhoodthey are staying in safe.

“Josh and his fellow stu-dents banded together withthe Egyptians and main-tained a neighborhood watchwith 4x4s, machetes andanything else they could gettheir hands on,” his fathersaid in an e-mail to the Ker-nel.

Tim Koontz said the loot-ers were captured and tied upwith ropes until the police ar-rived.

Koontz has slept with hisshoes on the past couple ofnights, his father said, so hecan always be ready to go.

Koontz said he had notseen the protests himself, butsome of his friends had seen

police buildings get burneddown and some of his friendshad been hit with tear gas.

He said that he has heardrumors of a million-person-march in Alexandria withinthe next couple of days.

Unlike Koontz, who hasbeen near the protests,Kindler’s program is locatedin an area of Cairo that sepa-rated from the protests, hermother said. Her program ison the other side of the Nile.

Kindler is studyingthrough a Christian programcalled BestSemester, which isa traveling program, hermother said. The programwas supposed to go to Istan-bul anyway, so the group isleaving Egypt for somewherethey knew they would haveaccommodations and couldstudy.

Kindler was 10 hoursaway from Cairo in theEgyptian city of Luxor whenthe protests broke out, hermother said.

Marianne Kindler empha-

sized that the program Chris-tine is studying through haskept her up-to-date that herdaughter is safe.

“I haven’t felt panicked atall,” Marianne Kindler said.

UK’s Office of Interna-tional Affairs has been in con-tact with Koontz’ andKindler’s family, Carvalhosaid.

Carvalho said she was“glad communication was socomplete with programs bothstudents were on.”

Koontz said that he wasfeeling “scared and secure atthe same time.” He said Mid-dlebury College has not de-cided where he and the stu-dents in his program will con-tinue their studies.

He said that everything inEgypt has happened so fast.

“(It) hasn’t caught upwith me yet,” Koontz said.

He also said he knewEgypt will never be the same.

“The Egyptian peoplehave crossed the Rubicon,”Koontz said.

and which is the best op-tion,” Straub said.

The group will also ex-amine the issue of better inte-grating the convention centerwith the rest of downtown

Lexington. Members of the group

have not been released yet,but it will include privatebusinesses.

Gray has been in commu-nication with the UK and isinterested in involving theuniversity in the study, Straubsaid.

“We appreciate Mayor

Gray's interest in moving theLexington Center to a newphase in the life of this facili-ty,” UK President Lee Toddsaid. “As the primary tenant ofRupp Arena, the university isvery interested in being a partof the planning process. Wewould encourage every idea tobe considered, including theconcept of a new arena.”

Center Ticket Office. Eachparticipant had to raise $300to be a part of DanceBlue pri-or to signing up. All proceedswill go directly to the UK Pe-diatric Oncology Clinic.

DanceBlue 2011 has notonly seen an increase indancers, but also an increasein the number of families par-ticipating from the clinic.The Adopt-A-Family pro-gram allows dance teams tosponsor children at the clinicand their families.

Dempsey said the in-crease in dancers could beattributed to the DanceBluecommittee helping teamsfundraise this year.

DanceBlue is being heldtwo weeks earlier than normalthis year because MemorialColiseum was booked duringthe first weekend in March.

Public Relations ChairBrittany Peskind said thatthe DanceBlue committee is

more prepared for the eventthan they were last year de-spite have less time to final-ize everything.

“Compared to past years,we’re all just more organizedthis year,” Peskind said.“We knew we had to do andwe got it accomplished.”

The next DanceBlue pro-motional event is an ice skat-ing night at the Lexington IceCenter on Feb. 10 from 9-11p.m. Promotions ChairPriska Ndege invited thecampus community to comeout to support DanceBlue.Anyone with a valid UK stu-dent ID will receive free skaterentals.

Other promotionalevents are scheduled in theupcoming weeks, including aDanceBlue half-time appear-ance at the women’s basket-ball game on Feb. 13 and aQdoba night on Feb. 16,where the restaurant donatesa percentage of thatevening’s proceeds toDanceBlue.

Ndege said DanceBluehas had a “great turnout” at

promotional events this yearfrom “faculty and staff…people from the communi-ty…as well and coaches andstudent athletes.”

More than 100 teamssigned up for DanceBlue thisyear. One- third of those areGreek, while the rest repre-sent a spectrum of groupsfrom across the university.

Peskind said that thisyear’s team diversity setsDanceBlue 2011 apart fromprevious years.

“I feel that it’s a reallygood mix,” Peskind said.“Everyone on campus is ableto do it and that’s why it’s alot of fun. You get to be withpeople you normallywouldn’t interact with andyou get to meet people out-side your typical group offriends.”

Facebook: the steadfast temptress thatlures 85 percent of college students awayfrom their schoolwork.

The website that start-ed a mere seven yearsago now has more than600 million membersworldwide, horrificallyincluding my grandmoth-er in Florida, my highschool chemistry teacherand flat-footed Pete, wholived down the streetfrom me growing up.

The growth and pop-ularity of Facebook,

Twitter and other social media networkingwebsites shows no sign of slowing down.

With new applications and featuresadded every day, social media networkinghas become the Wal-Mart of the Internet.A one-stop-shop for everything shared:what your friends are doing, photo albums,games and notices of upcoming events andbirthdays.

Logging onto Facebook, I find myselfreceiving fewer friend requests from peo-ple I actually know and more from localbusinesses.

It seems the days of vibrant coloredflyers, cheesy banners and kids wavingposter boards on street corners while rid-ing a unicycle are coming to an end.

Businesses have begun to monopolizeon the world’s social media networkingaddiction, creating accounts for their com-panies and asking potential consumers tofollow them online.

Status updates from businesses areconstantly flooding my newsfeed with ad-vertisements about drink specials at a localbar, a musician playing at a local musicvenue and various sales at local boutiques.

Clothing stores have even started toupload photo albums displaying new mer-chandise with captions detailing the itemsprice, available sizes and colors.

This ability to advertise directly to a

wide range of consumers without spendinga penny helps relieve economic woes suf-fered by many small businesses.

Social media marketing benefits con-sumers as well, enabling them to evaluatethe competitive market without having tolog off their computer.

This marketing strategy builds a strongbond between buyer and seller. The cus-tomer’s ability to comment on the busi-ness’s happenings, comment, share sugges-tions, ask questions and receive rapid, per-sonal responses forms consumer loyalty.

The expansion of social media net-working has greatly influenced how busi-nesses operate, which influences the pro-fessional requirements.

Having a successful career in journal-ism no longer only entails having to writea precise news piece and publish it withlightning fast speed. Journalists today mustalso tweet information as it occurs, postpictures and share links simultaneously.

I am neither a friend nor foe of Face-book’s new business platform. I am merelydrawing attention to the fact businesses areusing a new a platform and they will ex-pect potential employees to be proficientwith social media networking.

So I say to all of you Facebook elitists,the days of riding your high horse areover.

Social media networking is no longerthe website girls use to stalk ex-boyfriendsor that some hipster doofus uses to displayhis profound intellect and wit in 140 char-acters.

It has become an intregal part of thebusiness world. Knowledge of social me-dia networking websites is now a neces-sary, marketable skill that businesses maysoon be looking for on resumes.

Next time you’re at the library Face-booking and that one “friend” gives yougrief for not studying, stick your nose justas high in air and tell her that you are.

“Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansasanymore.”

Today’s job seekers might have more incommon with Dorothy and herruby slippers than they realize.

Dorothy had to understandand communicate in Oz be-fore she could get home. To-day’s graduates will face asimilar barrier.

The U.S. companies thatare recruiting are the onesthat have embraced realglobal marketing. This mar-keting is not just boxing aproduct, shipping it overseas

and selling it to the few consumers that canafford it.

Before you say, “I’m not interested in sell-ing anything,” remember, if you work any-where, chances are you will need to communi-cate your ideas to others; and that’s selling.

Now, back to Kansas — or more accurate-ly, back to getting a job. You already knowyou need to learn business basics. But, I’dsuggest that a good dash of curiosity and apinch of liberal arts subjects can be a recipefor success.

It’s been said, a benefit of a business de-gree is that the learning is immediately appli-cable. The principles, methods and processesare somewhat standard.

On the other hand, theories learned in amore liberal education need adaptation beforethey can contribute to the bottom line.

So as long as you paid attention to yourbusiness professors and learned the basics,you’re all set to succeed — right?

Not exactly. You might land a job with acompany boxing their “widget” and shipping itoverseas; but your chances of being noticed bya “real global marketer,” may be slimmer.

Companies that are successful worldwideunderstand customers’ wants and needs, aswell as their culture.

A good example is the “New Ford.” Thesame company that gave your father’s genera-tion the Edsel is turning out products inemerging countries that buyers love.

Why? Because Ford is offering cars that

appeal in ways other than just curb glitz.In India, Ford’s Figo has been a home run.

Not only is it fuel efficient and inexpensive; thebody panels are easily swappable, making foran almost instant repair. A perfect solution forcrowded streets where fender-benders abound.

And at the point of sale Ford dealers areresponsive to the culture. Buyers are delightedwhen their cars are delivered at a house ofworship for blessing or in ceremonies in thedealership that include driving over lemons forgood luck.

Another example is the telecommunica-tions industry.

Gatton school Professor Ikenna Uzueg-bunam, who hails from Nigeria, told the storyof returning to his village last year to see anolder woman street vendor, who might nothave had use of a land-line a year ago, talkingon her cell phone to chastise suppliers whowere running late with a delivery. Telecommu-nications firms marketing in Nigeria found away to market the phone to the people and theculture.

What do these examples mean to you? This new way of doing business is the re-

sult of decisions made by executives, who afew years ago, were recent college graduates.They realized that success would flow fromunderstanding the world’s cultures as well asthe mechanics of business.

They showed curiosity, a willingness tolearn the culture and and perhaps a new lan-guage. The business community in the U.S.has seen the value of this kind of team mem-ber — and will continue to seek them out foremployment.

If you are interested in being part of thisnew wave of business associates, understandthese emerging skill sets, embrace them andmarket yourself to the companies that recog-nize their value.

General Motors announced recently theysold more vehicles last year in China than inthe United States.

Remember Dorothy, you’re not in Lexing-ton anymore.

Many guysand girls anticipate the SuperBowl with fierce smack talk.

I am not one of those people. I’m rooting for the Packers—

but that’s mainly because most ofmy friends will throw themselvesinto the nearest snow bank bawl-ing if the Packers lose. I’m not oneof those people who just watchesthe Super Bowl for the commer-cials, either. I legitimately likewatching the game. I’m just some-times perplexed by the testosteronefest known as American football.

Girls don’t get to play football.Do you know how frustrating thatis? When do girls get to hit some-thing? I’m not talking about flagfootball here. Running around inhula skirts has never releasedmuch aggression. Tag football?Oh, you get to run up to the personat full speed, but then you have totap him. If girls do get a football

league, it’s called “Powderpufffootball.” Are you kidding me?

Of course, the Steelers andPackers have names only a littlemore frightening than the makeupapplicator. Nothing says, “I’m go-ing to beat you,” more than ateam named after meat industry.The “Butchers” would be scary,but the Packers? Not so much.

There are plenty of other per-plexing things about football. I’veheard men mock a woman’sweakness for bling. Um…haveyou ever seen a Super Bowl ring?The Steelers’ last Super Bowlring had a mere 63 diamonds to-taling 3.61 carets. Subtle.

Does it confuse anyone elsethat players in a sport heralded asthe epitome of “manly” have uni-forms that look suspiciously liketights, shoulder pads and the kindof brightly colored mouth piecesthey gave you to make braces fun?

The acceptability of spankingon the field is equally odd. Thatjust wouldn’t be a suitable way ofsaying “good job” in front ofWhitehall after that economicstest.

Despite some of the oddness

surrounding the Super Bowl, Ilook forward to the big day. Therewill be a good game, a ridiculousamount of delicious food andcommercials that the poor peoplein advertising have been workingon since last year.

Of course, another reason toanticipate the Super Bowl is thatit heralds the end of football sea-son. A football night at BuffaloWild Wings is great, but the Sun-day afternoon marathon gets oldby January. The downside of hav-ing your desk next to the sportsdesk is the constant hum of just-loud-enough-to-be-impossible-to-ignore-but-equally-impossible-to-understand football noise (be-cause guys “hate” listening tocommentators but seem unwillingto use the mute button).

It’s time to give the playerssome time to recover from con-cussions, get their teeth replacedand pack on even more weight.

Come on, people. It’s basketballtime.

The day is upon us,my friends. It’s whatwe’ve all been waitingfor. All those DIY proj-ects prepping the man-cave with a fridge andchair. All those days atwork when death wasupon you because youneed your sick days nowto recover later. Eventhat time spent tailingthe Mrs., so her apart-ment would match andbe all pretty-like. Yes,my friends, this is theday. Now, are you readyfor some football?

Bro tensions will runhigh, food will take flightand you better believeanything shaped at all likea ball will be thrownacross the room. If you

have emergency cashhidden somewhere,you’d best forget aboutit quickly. Each year theSuper Bowl has fourconstants that remain: ahealthy combination ofpizza, hot wings, gam-

bling and your favoritebrand of calorie-countingthat won’t be countingtonight. Tonight, moneydoes, in fact, grow ontrees.

Anyway, back to ourliving rooms. Guys, thisis your one day to acthowever you want toand know that you won’tbe judged.

Ladies, this is yourday to show your manhow much you care.That’s right. You supportus. You pretend to careabout football, and youjust look so darn cutewearing our team’s col-ors.

But, just in caseyou’re watching thegame because you want

to, then you should tellpeople—guys especially.If you can sit there andwatch nearly four hoursof a bunch of rough-necks trying to kill eachother, you’re a keeper.

We haven’t evenreached halftime yet.There’s never a bettercombination of beer andsex in all of TV, andthat’s just in the com-mercials. If you’re notinto that, it doesn’t mat-ter. You’re guaranteed tolaugh the whole waythrough anyway.

When Darius Miller has alane in practice, players usu-ally don’t jump to contesthim. They stay grounded.Maybe even get out of theway entirely.

“We see it all the time.You give him a lane, he candunk on you,” BrandonKnight said. “I know frompersonal experience, Dariuscan jump.”

The topic had come up in-nocently enough. Knight wastalking about how he gets onMiller to go grab rebounds,because he’s the best athleteon the team.

Wait, Darius? DariusMiller is the best athlete onthe team?

“I think so,” Knightsaid. “Terrence (Jones) isthe longest guy on ourteam, for sure, but Darius isthe most explosive as far asjumping.”

Head coach John Calipariwas asked who he thoughtwas the best athlete on theteam to see if the coach sawthe same thing the pointguard did.

“Who’s the best athlete onour team? Wow,” Caliparisaid. “Probably, if you watchhim do some of that stuff,would be Darius.”

The statement took some

aback because Miller hasn’tshown it in games. When hedid soar for a dunk againstGeorgia on Saturday, itseemed more like an anomalythan a common occurrence.Calipari specifically pointedout that play as somethingMiller needs to do more of-ten.

Miller’s semi-hidden tal-ents parallel UK in its entire-ty; everyone knows that po-tential is present, but it’s yetto be expressed in full.

Calipari said 32 minutesof good play against Georgiawas the closest the team hasgotten to piecing together afull game. If UK expects tobe one of those teams peoplefear seeing drawn in theirbracket region in March, ithas to get to a full 40.

“We want to be special,”Calipari said. “We want to beone of those teams. Why notus? I’d like it to be us. Wouldyou like it to be us?”

That’s partly why Caliparigave his players a sheet onthe necessity of sacrificingthe individual for the team.But even that gesture eliciteda curious response.

“After I did it and wewent through the laws of pay-ing the price, I asked howmany think I did this becauseof you specifically?” Caliparisaid. “Five of them raisedtheir hands.”

And so the improvementmust continue. Calipari saidhis ideal image for some ofhis players.

He said Jones can be themost well-rounded player inthe country, Knight can be thebest scoring point guard inthe country, Miller can be themost complete player in theleague (and maybe the bestdunker, if Knight’s practicetales are true), and Lamb canbe the best freshmen scorer inthe country.

Calipari said it’s abouttime the players have to em-power themselves. The coachhas been cajoling enough. Hesaid the window is dwindlingfor UK to get where he envi-sions the team by March. UKhas “10 games, 10 practicesbefore games — and you’renot going to beat them up theday before a game — 5 offdays, and 10 practices,” Cali-pari said. “They all said‘there’s something wrong,’and were checking their cal-endars.’”

But it’s true. March is fastapproaching. Calipari is stillpushing his players to getwhere they need to be.

“A funny thing with ourcountry is all our videogames,” Calipari said. “(Theywill say), I got a stepback,watch this move. It’s not avideo game. You have to beon the court practicing it.”
