Apptitude:Avoid, or treat,

the flu

As the flu runs rampant, we sorted throughsome smartphone applications meant to helptrack, avoid and treat influenza and other com-mon illnesses. If you are really sick, consult ahealth professional.

HealthMap: Outbreaks Near Me, from de-veloper John Brownstein, is free for Android andApple. From a team at Boston Children’s Hospi-tal, this app uses a variety of data sources, in-cluding the World Health Organization, Googleand EuroSurveillance, to map health alerts allover the world.

Tap “List” to see a feed of health-related re-ports — most of them flu-related at this time. Ina separate section labeled “News,” a recap of2012 health events noted worrisome trends suchas last year’s doubling of U.S. cases of whoop-ing cough and one of the largest outbreaks ofWest Nile virus ever seen in this country.

Users are encouraged to submit both humanand animal disease reports, including photos.

Another HealthMap app is flu-specific. FluNear You enlists thousands of volunteers to re-port weekly on flu activity in their areas. The re-sults are displayed in disturbingly thick clustersof virtual pins on a map and a meter that swingsfrom “none” to “high” depending on the severityand extent of symptom reports.

From the app menu on Flu Near You, a“Vaccine Finder” maps locations of nearby phar-macies administering flu shots.

CDC Influenza is a free iPhone app from theCenters for Disease Control and Prevention. Tap“Influenza Activity and Surveillance” for theCDC’s weekly FluView update and other re-ports. Unfortunately, the maps and charts offeredare difficult to view on a phone screen unlessyou tap for the “full screen view” to make thembigger.

SAN FRANCISCO — Amazon.com Inc.took another step toward improving its posi-tion in the digital-music market Thursday,launching a new service that will give cus-tomers free digital versions of CDs they pur-chase from the online megaretailer.

Amazon said that the new, free servicecalled AutoRip will initially feature more than50,000 albums. In addition, any album pur-chased from Amazon since 1998 and is cov-ered under AutoRip will be included.

When a customer buys a CD that is partof AutoRip, a digital file of the album will beadded to his or her Amazon Cloud Player li-brary. The digital version can then be playedon a computer, tablet or smartphone using theAmazon Cloud Player app, as well as down-loaded to those devices.

Steve Boom, Amazon’s vice president ofdigital music, said the addition of AutoRip“adds value to owning music, which obvious-ly benefits everyone in the music industry, in-cluding record labels and artists.”

Among the titles available with AutoRipare Adele’s 2011 blockbuster “21,” Maroon

5’s latest album“Overexposed” andPink Floyd’s classic“Dark Side of the Moon.”

“This is an innovative move, and at themoment sets them apart from other musicservices,” said Tim Bajarin, president of tech-nology-research firm Creative Strategies,about AutoRip. “It will be watched closely byAmazon’s competitors.”

The biggest of those rivals, Apple Inc., of-fers more than 26 million songs for sale on itsiTunes store. Apple officials didn’t immediate-ly return requests for comment on Amazon’s

AutoRip service. Amazon said it offers morethan 21 million songs for sale on its MP3 store.

The main difference between Amazon andApple’s offerings is that Amazon sells physicalCDs, while Apple only sells the digital files ofalbums and songs. The growth of digital musichas changed the overall music market, withdigital-sales growth outstripping that of CDs.

Figures from Nielsen SoundScan showedthat in 2012, total music units sold in theUnited States rose 3.1 percent from 2011, to1.66 billion units. Of that number, digital-al-bum sales climbed by 14.1 percent to 118million albums. CD sales fell by 13.5 percent,but still surpassed the amount of digital al-bums sold with 193 million units.

The science building will be built whereDonovan Hall stands now.

Though the new science building will like-ly be used instead of the Chemistry-PhysicsBuilding for most scientific purposes, there areno solid plans to tear the old building down,UK spokesman Jay Blanton said.

Typically, academic buildings are paidfor using the state’s General Fund money. Inthis instance, UK will depend on private do-nations and UK Athletics to finance the proj-ect, which will cost more than $300 million.

“We’re very fortunate that we have anathletic program that is self-sustaining,”Blanton said. “We’re one of only a handfulof programs in the country that has that kindof capacity.”

UK also will rely on agency bonds,which are to be paid back over time with therevenue generated from the projects.

“This is an example of our institutionworking in an innovative and creative

way, and working with donors and othersto help move the university forward,”Blanton said.

According to Dan Fulks, a former UKprofessor who now teaches at TransylvaniaUniversity, few athletic programs actuallyturn over a profit each year, but it is not un-common for those that do to give back to theuniversity.

“This is not totally unique,” Fulks said ofUK’s announcement that its athletic programwould largely contribute to the Big Blue Na-tion United project. “It’s unique in that not alot of athletic programs can afford to.”

In fact, UK Athletics also helped pay offbonds in the construction of the W.T. YoungLibrary.

With the hiring of head football coachMark Stoops, a new television contract forthe SEC and renovations to be made to Com-monwealth Stadium, the UK football pro-gram is expected to rake in even greaterprofits.

Aside from the football team, UK Athlet-ics also benefits from a stellar basketball pro-

gram, something that notmany universities canboast.

“This is very posi-tive. Big-time collegeathletics are getting lotsof bad press — not justUK — for the amountof money that peoplethink we’re spending,”said Fulks, who is also aresearch consultant forthe NCAA. “Anytimethat you read a storyabout athletics givingback to the university,that’s great news.”

UK also is in themiddle of making im-provements to student

housing and updating its master plan.“Those plans are separate in terms of

funding and planning, but (UK President Eli)Capilouto, staff leaders and the Board havebeen talking and planning for some time forthese kind of investments involving the infra-structure of campus,” Blanton said.

Because of the increased level of con-struction that will be taking place in comingyears, planners must consider issues that willarise, such as parking and accessibility.

Other university projects were announcedThursday, including renovations at MoreheadState, Murray State, Northern Kentucky,

Western Kentucky and Louisville.“It was a good and important step for all

of the university presidents to work togetherto achieve a goal,” said Western KentuckyUniversity President Gary Ransdell.

Administrators across the state recognizethe importance of maintaining top-notch fa-cilities to attract the best students, staff andfaculty.

“The goal is to put students first in every-thing we do,” Blanton said. “This is a vitalneed and we’re fortunate that (athletic directorMitch) Barnhart, Capilouto and donors arestepping up to try and meet this need.”

One more game, one more step on the tightrope. Seniorguard A’dia Mathies led No. 6 UK Hoops (15-1, 3-0 SEC) to aclose 65-62 win over No. 20 Texas A&M on Thursday for aschool-record 31st straight home victory.

Meeting the Cats on the court for the first time in schoolhistory, the Aggies introduced themselves with a dominant firsthalf, leading 37-31 at halftime.

Frontcourt duo junior Kelsey Bone and senior Kristi Bel-lock set the tone, combining for 24 points and 11 rebounds inthe first half.

Junior center DeNesha Stallworth shared the task of con-taining Bone and Bellock with junior forward Samarie Walker.

“We just tried to push the ball every possession,” Stall-worth said. “Kelsey is a really big girl, so we just knew if she

scored a layup, she’d have to run all the way back on defense,so we tried to take advantage of that.”

Capitalizing on Bone’s fatigue, the Cats clawed their wayback in the second half, fueled partially by Stallworth’s sevensecond-half points. It was not Stallworth, however, but Math-ies who steered the Cats to victory.

“We knew it wasn’t a 20-minute game, especially at half-time. We knew it was a 40-minute game,” Mathies said. “Weeventually got that spark we needed in the second half, and itcame up with that big three.”

The senior drilled a 3-pointer with 18 minutes left in thehalf, pulling the Cats within one point at 40-39, but it was justthe first of her big plays in the half.

After swapping scores, the Aggies still led by one pointwith 16 minutes to play, and Mathies drained from behind thearc to give the Cats a two-point lead.

Texas A&M came back, however, giving themselves a lead

of three with nine minutes remaining on the clock.As the visitors were looking to pull away, Mathies cut

across the top of the key and drained another three to tie thegame at 53, sparking the Cats’ path to victory.

By the time the final buzzer rang around Memorial Colise-um, the Louisville native had made nine of 20 shots from thefield, finishing with 23 points.

“I want (Mathies) to be the person with the most shot at-tempts every night,” said UK head coach Matthew Mitchell.“She’s really, really hard to guard when she’s shooting the ballthe way she is now, and she was huge in the game. (I’m) real-ly proud of her.”

Mathies’ strong form has been a constant so far in SECplay, as she scored 20 against Florida and 17 against Alabamain wins last week.

“I believe the SEC is the greatest conference,” Mathiessaid. “Every time you go out there and play you can take aloss. There’s no teams that you can say, ‘Oh, we’re going tobeat them.’ There’s definitely not those. Everybody’s got toprepare every night and stay focused every day. I think it justgoes to show how great of a league this is.”

Hoops comes back to beat AggiesNASHVILLE, Tenn. — UKbasketball fans are energizedwith visions of champi-onship No. 9 dancing intheir collective heads.

It is beyond hope; it isnearly an expectation.Anything less than a na-tional title would be con-sidered a disappointment... in 2014.

It is understandable tobe excited over UK head

coach John Calipari’s recruiting success, but asone former coach preached not that manyyears ago, fans should enjoy the “preciouspresent.”

And the present can be pretty darn good.The Cats were tested yet again Thursday night,this time coming out with a conference roadwin over the Vanderbilt Commodores, 60-58.Only two teams in the SEC have won on theroad so far this season, and the Cats are amongthem.

UK was in full control of the game, untilan inexplicable 18-0 run by the Commodoresmidway through the second half. That stretchshould worry Cat fans, and it has Calipariconcerned as well.

“They outworked us. They beat us to 50-50 balls and they beat us to rebounds,” Cali-pari said about the second-half effort.

Along the way, it appears, sophomoreKyle Wiltjer might need to learn how to de-fend, as he was abused the entire game bythe normally lackluster Vanderbilt offense.

Calipari’s squad responded down thestretch with big buckets and a crucial last-second defensive stop.

Winning on the road in the SEC is noteasy, even against the conference’s lower-tier.

The Cats were led by sophomore guardRyan Harrow, freshman forward NerlensNoel and freshman guard Archie Goodwin,part of a group that likely won’t be in Lex-ington next year.

Much like the past three teams, this col-lection of Cats won’t be together long.

Noel, who scored 13 points and seven re-bounds, and Alex Poythress, who added sevenpoints and six rebounds against Vandy, havelong been considered NBA Lottery picks.

Goodwin, who had 12 points, five re-bounds and three assists, had NBA scouts sali-vating over his second-half performance

against the Cards in late December. Even freshman forward Willie Cauley-

Stein, who played multiple sports in highschool and never completely focused on bas-ketball until this summer, is being considereda high-first-round selection.

You have but just nine more games atRupp Arena (and the postseason tournaments)to see this group before they join the legion offormer Cats at the next level.

They deserve your support, and fansshouldn’t discount them by looking forwardto next season when a different group of top-ranked recruits wear the blue and white.

This team has four losses — all againstgood teams. Even the home loss against Bay-lor is looking somewhat better as the Bearshave won five of their last six, includingslaughtering Texas Tech, 82-48, on the roadTuesday to move to 2-0 in the Big 12.

The team has endured its point guard be-ing absent for several games due to illness,several sets of individual workouts (most re-cently with Poythress) and nearly a month of“Camp Cal.” Its only loss in the past fiveweeks was on the road to the No. 3 team inthe country. The Cats have been improvingevery game and could easily find themselvesamong 10-20 teams that have a chance tomake a run at the Final Four.

“There’s probably 30 teams that could bein the Final Four, and I don’t think there’sany clear-cut national champion winner,”Calipari said Wednesday. “It’s great for all ofus out there. Who’s going to have their teamplaying the best in March? Because that iswhat it’ll be about.”

When asked if the Cats were in that group,Calipari said, “At this point, probably not, butby March that’s what our plan would be.”

Dismissing this collection of Cats andcounting on next year’s group to deliver No.9 isn’t fair to either group.

To be great this year, the Cats will haveto grind out tough road wins like they didThursday night, and as they continue toevolve they will likely get themselves in thatkind of situation less often.

If the Cats play like they did during the18-0 Vanderbilt run Thursday, the last half ofthis season is going to be ugly. Otherwise,nearly anything is possible.

Championship No. 9 may be imminentfor the Cats, but for now, it’s too early to fo-cus on thoughts of it coming in 2014.

PHOTO BY TESSA LIGHTY | STAFFUK forward Nerlens Noel shoots against Vanderbilt forward Sheldon Jeter during the second half of theUK vs. Vanderbilt game in Nashville on Thursday night. UK won 60-58 despite a second-half Vandy surge.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — UK head coach John Calipari andCats fans alike have patiently waited for the day when fresh-man centers Nerlens Noel and Willie Cauley-Stein affect agame defensively in a way that their size indicates they could.

That day came Thursday, as the big men did just enoughto help the Cats to a 60-58 win over Vanderbilt in its SECopener.

The 3-point shot plagued UK’s offense for most of thenight, as the Cats shot just 3-17 from behind the arc. Theirdefense of the shot in the first half, however, gave them a35-24 halftime lead, holding the Commodores to 2-13 fromlong range midway through.

Ironically, it was that same 3-point shot that got thehome team back in it. Vanderbilt made six 3-pointers in thesecond half, while still looking timid anytime it entered thepaint against Calipari’s big lineup.

Coming out from halftime, Vanderbilt head coach KevinStallings went to a zone defense, and he almost immediately

saw results.UK was no longer able to utilize its size advantage

against the zone and, combined with poor outside shooting,went cold.

Stallings saw his team surge to an 18-0 run for an eight-minute stretch that gave Vandy the lead with under six min-utes to play.

“On a lot of the plays, Nerlens didn’t know which playwe were running because it was so loud,” sophomore guardRyan Harrow said. “That was the biggest thing.”

The Cats responded, though, holding a three-point leadwith just under 20 seconds to play. That lead was extendedto five when, at the end of the shot clock, Noel put up afloater that went in, but appeared to be late. While the replayshowed it was after the horn, the basket stood.

“Oh, that was good,” Harrow said with a smile after thegame, in between gasps for breath from a late-game elbow tothe ribs.

The home crowd, and its coach, felt much differently.

UK stifles Vandy’s second-half run

timeout sports

01.11.13 | weekend timeout| 9

“A tale of two halves”is how UK Hoops headcoach Matthew Mitchellput it.

And if Mitchell wantsto compare his sixth-ranked squad’s victoryover No. 20 Texas A&Mto a Charles Dickens nov-el, that’s good enough forme.

The first half was theworst of times.

The Cats looked rattled by Texas A&M’sathleticism. The Aggies scored at will in thelane, thanks to some nifty interior passingbetween post-players Kristi Bellock andKelsey Bone. At halftime, A&M had doubledUK’s points in the paint, 24 to 12.

A&M was hot, UK was not. The Aggiesshot a sweltering 59 percent from the field,the Cats a chilly 38 percent.

The double-double machine that is juniorforward DeNesha Stallworth seemed to be

malfunctioning, scoring only five points andgrabbing two rebounds before halftime. Ifnot for senior guard A’dia Mathies and soph-omore guard Jennifer O’Neill, UK couldhave said goodbye to a spring of hope andsettled into a winter of discontent.

But with the second half, there came thebest of times.

UK came out of the gate with purpose.Stallworth nailed a 3-pointer. O’Neill swipedat shaky dribbling, gathered a steal anddished to sophomore guard Bria Goss for alayup. O’Neill would then drive it herself,kissing the ball off the glass to give UK itsfirst lead of the game, 41-40, with 16:42 re-maining.

From there ensued a physical, toe-to-toebattle, with UK becoming the aggressor onboth offense and defense. The Cats played asif it was the age of wisdom, not the firsthalf’s age of foolishness.

No easy baskets were surrendered. A full-court press baffled A&M for a key stretch,holding them scoreless for more than three

minutes late in the secondhalf.

And when Aggies guardPeyton Little’s last-secondshot to tie it flew askew, theroar of the Memorial Colise-um crowd welcomed theCats directly to heaven, whenin the first half it looked likethey were going directly theother way.

“I just can’t say enoughabout the effort in the secondhalf,” Mitchell said. “Weneeded great defensive ener-gy from everybody, and wejust turned it up. Found an-other gear, another level wecould take our defense to.They were 58 percent thatfirst half, 32 field goal per-centage in the second half,and that was more like aKentucky defense.”

Mathies, who led theCats with 23 points and ateam-high four 3-pointers,said she and her teammateswere ready to compete for afull 40 minutes, just like theteam mantra says theyshould.

“We knew it wasn’t a 20-minute game at halftime,”she said. “We knew it was a40-minute game, and every 40 minutes wejust go out there and try to play as aggres-sively as we can, on offense and defense.”

Forty minutes, two halves, full of scrapand fight and determination is what the Catswill need to succeed in the SEC this season.UK showed its grit after the intermission, ex-tending its home win streak to a school-record 31 straight (the 14 straight wins over-all are also a school record).

Games like this one can take a lot out ofa team. A&M coach Gary Blair attributed

some of his team’s lack of execution downthe stretch to being worn out.

Mitchell and his players, likely prettyworn out themselves, can now go to a far, farbetter rest than they have ever known.

At least until Sunday, when the Cats trav-el to Columbia, Mo., to take on the MissouriTigers. Then they get to do it all over again.

And with the great expectations (anotherDickens title, by the way) both the team andfans have for this season, UK will need morehalves like the second and less like the firstto make a serious run.

LOS ANGELES — In a golden age forcomputer-generated animation, the Academyof Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has re-warded a comparably antique technique —stop-motion animation — with three of itsfive Oscar nominations for animated feature.

“Frankenweenie,” directed by Tim Bur-ton; “ParaNorman,” directed by Chris Butlerand Sam Fell; and “The Pirates! Band ofMisfits,” directed by Peter Lord, were allmade using an arduous process that requiresanimators to adjust a puppet’s movementframe-by-frame to tell a story.

The category’s two other nominees,“Brave,” directed by Mark Andrews andBrenda Chapman, and “Wreck-It Ralph,” di-rected by Rich Moore, were made with CGI.

This is the first time that three stop-mo-tion movies have been honored since the an-imated category was created in 2001.

“What it says to me is that people really

do love this medium,” said Butler, whosezombie comedy “ParaNorman” is the sec-ond Oscar nod for the tiny, Hillsboro, Ore.-based Laika Studios.

“They respect it as an art form. Theydon’t just respect how it looks. They under-stand how much of a Herculean effort it isto make these movies — the hands-on,workshop-full-of-crazy-people aspect of it.”

The animated feature category didn’t ex-ist when “Pirates!” helmer Lord directed hislast feature, “Chicken Run,” in 2000.

“I feel like a pioneer,” said Lord, whoseBritish-based studio Aardman Animations hasbeen credited with helping revive the medi-um. “When we did ‘Chicken Run,’ it hadn’tbeen seen for a long, long time. I don’t liketo talk about it as being some ancient craftlike blacksmithing, but it is a craft.”

Stop-motion takes the lead in animation

UK hockey returns to the ice after a five-week break Friday and Saturday for a two-game home stand against the University ofToledo.

UK (9-13-0) last played on Dec. 7 and 8,when it skated to two victories against rivalEastern Kentucky.

No. 6 Toledo (15-6-0) heads into theweekend series as the favorites, but the Catsare in no mood to let the games be decidedbased on the form guide.

“They’re going to come down and notknow what hit them,” senior forward DylanRohar said.

The Cats head into the games without theservices of sophomoreforward Jordan Ip, whowill not be returning tothe team this semester.

UK head coach RobDocherty has, however,gained five new faces onhis roster, something jun-ior goaltender Aaron Ten-felde is excited about.

“It’s the first time thisyear we’ll have a fullsquad,” Tenfelde said.“Guys won’t have to betaking double shifts. Wehave a couple weekendswhere we play top 10teams.”

After this weekend’s games against No. 6Toledo, next weekend is No. 2 Penn Stateand the following weekend is No. 4 Linden-wood.

The Cats are already in the mindset thatthey need to do well. The goal is to becomeranked in the top 10 teams in the Southeastdivision by Feb. 18 in order to advance to theregional ACHA tournament.

“We’re not going to even get a look un-less we shock one of the teams we’re facingin the coming weeks,” said senior defense-man Brandon Tigrett.

UK will look to get the first of thoseshocks on Friday and Saturday against Tole-do at the Lexington Ice Center, where thepuck drops at midnight. Admission for eachgame is $7.

“I don’t want to spin this press confer-ence talking about a call,” Stallings said.“Judging by my reaction, you could tellwhat I thought.”

As a result, a Commodore 3-pointer onthe next possession cut the lead to two,rather than tie the game.

UK turned the ball over on the ensuinginbound play, giving Vanderbilt one lastchance for the upset. But Kedren Johnsonmissed a desperation 25-footer at thebuzzer, and the Cats escaped.

“They outworked us,” Calipari said.“We were lucky to win the game. But, I’mhappy we won.”

Noel and Cauley-Stein combined for20 points and 15 rebounds, but it was theirdefensive presence that made the differ-ence.

Vanderbilt shot just 15-40 on two-pointshots. While its big run in the second halfwas largely fueled by the deep shot, itfailed to generate much more than that,and ultimately fell one 3-pointer short.

Harrow continued his solid play, tally-ing 16 points, four assists and twoturnovers. It was his fourth straight gamewith at least 15 points and four assists.

UK’s focus will now have to quicklyshift to 4 p.m. Saturday, when it hostsTexas A&M at Rupp Arena.

It will be a quick turnaround, but aftertheir first taste of conference play, theyoung Cats can approach the Aggies witha good idea of what they will now be upagainst on a weekly basis.

“We didn’t respond like we were sup-posed to,” Cauley-Stein said. “We’ve gotto change that. Every SEC game is goingto be like that from here on out.”
