watch out!

Jaywalking is in no way
condoned by the
Kernel nor will we be
responsible if you get
hurt doing so. Having
said that, I do it all
the time. Here are
some strategies, pros
and cons of the next
Olympic Sport,
jaywalking.

Strategies:

Start by looking left and
only left. The
opposing traffic does
not concern you, at
least not at this
point. Crossing even
numbered lanes
above four is asking
for trouble if there is
no median or divider.
Stop crossing odd
number lanes at
seven.

Stand ready to pounce
at a moment's notice
with the speed of a
wild cheetah, or
other really quick
animal. Anticipate
the gap, but beware,
not all cars travel at
the same speed.

Take command of the
center lane if you
have to. (Actually,
this may not be good
advice seeing as l
have been clipped by
mirrors twice now.)

Run like the wind in a
hurricane to the
other side.

Now some pros and
cons.

Pro: Get to class 18
seconds quicker,
although it feels like
five minutes.

Con: Mental pictures of
Mac trucks that stay
with you the rest of
your life.

Pro: Sense of
accomplishment by
avoiding traffic.

Con: Getting hit by
traffic and not living.

Pro: Heart gets more
exercise. not just
form running to avoid
the CATS bus, but
also from the
adrenaline that
causes your heart to
race until after you
have already gone to
class.

Con: Die of heart attack
before you get hit.

Pro: You look all big and
bad in front of
someone you are
interested in.

Con: You fall in the
turning lane. rip your
jeans and have to
limp on campus the
rest of the day.

Pro: Strengthened
agility.

Con: Tearing a cold groin
muscle.

The UK basketball
team suffered two losses
Tuesday with the verdict
of Jules Camara's DUI of-
fense coming out guilty
and the resignation of as-
sociate head coach George
Felton.

Tony Neely, the media
relations director for the
Athletics Department. said
Felton's resignation had
nothing to do with Cama-
ra's verdict.

Camara. a junior for-
ward. was found guilty

Tuesday in the Fayette

District Court by a jury of

five women and one man
on charges of driving
while under the influence
on Sept. 3. Camara pleaded
innocent to the charges.

Under UK's zero toler-
ance, alcohol policy. Neely
said the guilty verdict
means Camara will lose
his basketball scholarship
indefinitely.

The alcohol policy
does not state when the
termination of Camara's
scholarship will go into ef-
fect.

tration to decide upon a

Most students come to [7K
to build up their minds with
knowledge. Eric Browning did
more than that: He came to UK
and built up his body too.

Browning. a first-year den-
tistry student. is featured in the
November issue of Flex Maga-
zine for his achievements in
bodybuilding and academics.

The current copy of Flex
went out on store shelves Oct. 3.

“I had no clue that I would
be in it." Browning said.

He said his first reaction
when he received an advance
copy in the mail was shock. He
said he thought he was going to
have a heart attack.

Browning said he knew he
might be in the issue. but noth-
ing was for sure.

The aiticle contains a biog-
raphy of Browning and a pic-
ture from a bodybuilding com
petition last year.

Last November. Browning
placed sixth in the Kentucky
Body Building Championships.
He was the youngest of the 60
competitors. He said he was

surprised with the outcome of

the competition. because it was
his first bodybuilding competi
tioii.

”I started working out as a
(college) freshman just to keep
in shape, I had always been ac
the in high school with foot
ball and baseball." Browning
said.

Browning competes in the
middleweight class. He's 3‘9“
and weighs ISIS pounds. IIe

the past four years through his
weight lifting efforts.

Over the years. he said
that friends encouraged him to
compete, in body building com-
petitions for fun. His friends
were more serious and wanted
him to get involved in competi-
tions with them. he said.

Browning is preparing for
another competition. The Blue-
grass Muscle Classic. in .Iune.
This will be his second compo
tition.

Browning enjoys working
out and also hopes that he can
continue to compete. He‘s opti-
mistic about the outcome of his
next competition.

Besides going to dentistry
school and brxlybuilding.
Browning is also a certified
personal trainer.

”I am not a personal trainer
right now becaiise I am too busy
with (dentistry) school. but I re-
ally enjoyed it when I was doing
that." said Browning.

Browning hopes to open an
athletic center and dentistry
practice after he graduates
form dental school.

Browning said that he is
receiving calls about the article
from fitness model agents that
are interested in signing him
for advertisements. He said the
calls have been flattering. and
although he does not plan to
pursue the endeavors he said
he is keeping his options open.

to be a fitness model or a com
petitive body builder. but I am

of killing. Tuesday was a day of intense diplomat-

The pill and breast cancer linked

CHICAGO Birth control pills may raise the
already heightened risk of breast cancer faced by
women with a family history of the disease. a
study suggests. Among sisters and daughters of
women with breast cancer, users of the pill were
three times more likely than nonusers to get the
disease. If at least five family members had breast
or ovarian cancer. pill users faced an 11-f0ld risk.

has the instructions to make a
complete human. Most of those
instructions are inactive, and
with good reason: The last
thing you want is for your
brain cells to start churning
out stomach acid.

The only time cells have
the potential to turn into a spe-
cific body part is very early in
a pregnancy. when our first
few cells, or stem cells. haven’t
begun to specialize yet. Scien-
tists are now discovering how
to harness the power in these
cells.

“Most diseases involve the
death of healthy cells: Brain
cells in Alzheimer's; cardiac
cells in heart disease: pancre-
atic cells in diabetes; to name a
few," said Dr. Andy McNeil, a
Louisville surgeon. “In the fu-
ture doctors will be able to iso-
late these stem cells. direct
their growth and furnish pa-
tients with healthy replace-
ment tissues and organs."

And what if you don't need
a new liver just yet? Organ

banks will be available for you
to store healthy organs for
when you do need them. For
those who can't afford to store
their own organs. science has
an army of new surgical robots
on the horizon.

Brian Haggady. a graduate
student in robotics at the
Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, talked about how
robots of the future will re-
place a majority of human sur-
geon’s duties.

“The patient will be laid
on the operating table with
any number of robots hanging
from the ceiling," he said.
“Most likely human anesthesi-
ologists will still put the pa-
tient out, but then the robots
will run the rest of the
surgery. Humans will he need-
ed only for maintenance of the
robots and supervision of the
procedure."

Haggady goes on to say
that the precision of the robots
will minimize the time it takes
to perform a surgery and re-
duce recovery time.

The future of medicine
may seem distant and far-
fetched. but it’s closer than
one might think.
