1. College of Law Trial Team Places Second in National Championship Tournament; Kentucky Student Named Best Advocate in the Nation
On March 28, 2009, the University of Kentucky College of Law Trial Team, composed of third-year students Regan Merkel and Christopher Schaefer, took second place in the American College of Trial Lawyers National Trial Competition. The competition is the most prestigious law school trial competition in the nation with over 300 teams and 1,000 students competing on behalf of approximately 150 law schools. In addition to the team's success as the second best trial program in the nation, Schaefer was awarded the George A. Spiegelberg Award. The Spiegelberg award is personally selected by fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers and given to the student that served as the best advocate in the nation. Schaefer, of Louisville, and Merkel, of Cincinnati, qualified for the National Championship Tournament by winning their regional tournament in Lansing, Michigan, February 22nd.
2. New Gamma Knife Is Installed at Markey Cancer Center
In late March, crews used a 10-story-high crane hoisting a 6-foot, 22-ton metal sphere through a skylight into the lower level of the Markey Cancer Center. That massive orb is part of a $4.5 million upgrade to the medical center's Gamma Knife facility, which enables doctors to treat brain tumors and other neurological disorders without surgery. The Gamma Knife uses nearly 200 separate, precisely-focused beams of electromagnetic energy, called gamma rays, to target and kill diseased cells while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. The giant sphere positions and shields the sources for the gamma rays -192 rods of cobalt-60, a lab-engineered radioactive isotope of a common mineral element. The new system, which will start being used to treat patients on May 4, will cut treatment times by about 70 percent. This reduces stress to the patient and the improved efficiency potentially could increase the number of patients that UK can treat.
3. UK Patterson School Makes William and Mary List of Top 25 Programs
The UK Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce has been ranked among the world's best 25 master's degree programs in international affairs. The rankings were the result of an extensive survey of international relations faculty in 10 countries conducted by the Institute for the Theory and Practice of International Relations at the College of William and Mary. Scholars were asked to list the best programs in the world for a student wishing to pursue a career in international relations and policy. Among U.S. programs, the Patterson School ranked 16th.

4. UK, UofU Centre, Berea Presidents Hold Third Energizing Kentucky' Confab
The presidents of two Kentucky private colleges - John A. Roush of Centre and Larry Shinn of Berea - joined University of Louisville President James Ramsey and UK President Todd in hosting the third Energizing Kentucky Conference at the Lexington Hyatt Regency last week. The conference focused on the role of education in improving Kentucky's energy independence by developing new technology and energy sources and by changing Kentuckians habits regarding energy consumption. The conference featured Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jared Diamond as a keynote speaker. The first two Energizing Kentucky conferences, both held in Louisville, focused on business and industry and on government and policy.
5. Permit Issued to KGS for Carbon Storage Research Project
The federal Environmental Protection Agency office in Atlanta has issued a permit for the Kentucky Geological Survey and its private partners to inject carbon dioxide more than 8,300 feet underground in a test well to be drilled in Hancock County. The project is one of several funded by state money provided by House Bill 1 from the 2007 Special Legislative Session. Drilling should begin this spring. Over the winter, the site on a private farm was prepared for the drilling and a seismic reflection survey was conducted to give the researchers more data on the deep geologic environment of the area.
6. New Heart Attack Drug Shows Promise
In study results released in mid-March, a unique new drug shows promise of significantly reducing the risk of heart attack and death with no statistical increase in major and minor bleeding events. The drug is an oral thrombin-receptor antagonist, or TRA, that works in a unique way to prevent clotting by breaking down the communication between cells and proteins involved in forming clots. Early data from the study caught the attention of the medical and pharmaceutical communities when one of the study investigators and authors, Dr. David Moliterno of the UK College of Medicine and co-director of the UK Linda and Jack Gill Heart Institute, presented the preliminary findings at an American College of Cardiology meeting last year. The full results of the trial are published in the new issue of The Lancet, a prominent international medical journal. Moliterno and Dr. Khaled Ziada, also of UK, were among the study's authors. Preventing life-threatening clots is a major concern for doctors whose patients are undergoing angioplasty to restore adequate blood flow to the heart muscle. However, adequately preventing clots with current medications alone can result in inconvenient complications such as bruising and nosebleeds or even pose a risk of major bleeding in some patients, requiring frequent monitoring of blood levels. TRA, manufactured by Schering-Plough Corporation, was given in addition to established anti-clotting drugs to 1,030 patients undergoing cardiac catheterization and related intervention at 77 sites in six countries. UK enrolled 32 patients between August 2005 and September 2006. Patient follow-up was completed in January 2007.

7. Small Business Development Center Helps Kentucky Businesses' Sales
The Kentucky Small Business Development Center (KSBDC), a division of UK's Office of Commercialization and Economic Development, contributed significantly to Kentucky's economy during its recently completed fiscal year, October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008. The KSBDC s impact on Kentucky's economy includes:
■ KSBDC clients added $53.5 million in sales to the economy.
■ KSBDC clients received 230 loans totaling more than $24.9 million.
■ KSBDC clients created or retained 1,065 jobs.
■ KSBDC clients returned $9.20 to the economy per every dollar invested in long-term counseling.
KSBDC s economic impact figures are derived from the clients and each of its centers served during the 2007-2008 program year. Nineteen KSBDC service centers and satellite offices located throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky provided 2,129 potential or established business owners with one-on-one management consultations. More than 3,575 participants attended training workshops sponsored by the KSBDC. KSBDC responded to more than 30,000 requests for infomiation during 2007-2008.
8. Manufacturing Center Offers Training to Help Inventors Express Their Ideas
The UK Center for Manufacturing presented a free training session designed to help inventors express their ideas to potential investors, buyers, distributors, and manufacturers earlier this month. The training, designed to help inventors gain entry onto Planet Eureka!'s Innovation Marketplace Web site, aims at helping inventors bridge the communication gap that can sometimes hinder a product's progress to the marketplace. The session walked inventors through the thought process of translating ideas, inventions, or technology into a clear business proposition that details everything a potential buyer wants and needs to know before investing. The session also provided passwords permitting users to register inventions on the Planet Eureka! Innovation Marketplace at no cost. Registration usually costs $2,000.
9. UK Art Museum Features Major Exhibit of Egyptian Antiquities
The UK Art Museum opened the first major exhibition of Egyptian antiquities in the Bluegrass on March 22. "Excavating Egypt: Great Discoveries from the Petrie Museum, University College London" features more than 200 of the most significant artifacts from the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology in London, England. The exhibit will run through June 14. Locally the exhibition was made possible with assistance from The Friends of the Art Museum, the presenting sponsor. Other support was provided by Corning Incorporated Foundation, Smith Barney, Lexington Convention and Visitors Bureau, Meridian Chiles, Insight Communications, WUKY, and Messer Construction.

10. Winter 2009 Odyssey, UK's Research Magazine, Is Now Available
Inexpensive tiny power sources, an artificial lung system and the benefits of good nutrition in fighting toxic compounds are the focus of the Winter 2009 issue of Odyssey, UK's research magazine.

This issue also features UK surgeon Jay Zwischenberger's artificial lung system designed to buy time for patients waiting for transplants; a joint project between scholars in Lexington and Tajikistan to save an endangered and unwritten language called Shughni; and pharmaceutical sciences researcher Kim Nixon, who has found that alcoholics who stop drinking can reverse the damage to their brains. The magazine also revisits the work of Ellen Hahn in the College of Nursing, the driving force behind Lexington's smoke-free initiative. The award-winning magazine, published twice a year through the Office of the Vice President for Research, is also available online at www.research.ulcy.edu/odyssey/.

"Arts for Smarts" was designed to provide third, fourth, and fifth grade students with activities that teach math, science, language arts, and social studies through visual art, music, and dance. The program was funded by a $1,000 grant from the National Education Association. Fox and Tullis, who head the Kentucky Education Association Student Program at UK, decided on this type of program because of the students' belief that the loss of arts and music programs in elementary schools leaves a huge void in the humanities.
The Red State Ramblers, UK's official old-time string band, celebrated the release of the band's second CD, Commonwealth, with a performance March 6 at Al's Bar in downtown Lexington.
