On-demand bus service changes to steady route

By Cod Briggs
newsékykeTn—emm

Witlt the elimination of on-de-
mand CATS bus service on Friday
and Saturday nights. students have
mixed emotions about the switch.

For this school year. Parking
and Transportation Services created
the Green Route. which runs every
thirty minutes from 7 pm. to 3' ant.
on Friday and Saturday nights. The
route replaced on~demand service

those two nights.

Some students said they are fine
with the change. UK graduate stus
dent .li Yoon Jgng said the swrtch
from the ori-demand s’ervice on the
weekends presents no problem for
her.

When she rode the on-demand
service. she said. she would have to
wait for the bus. Now with the
Green Route she said she knows the
timetable for the bits route and can
show up without waiting much

time.

However. biology

he Used to since this year's switch.
The stops are not close enough to
where he needs to go. Stegman said.

"I hope it goes back to on-de-
mand as soon as possible because
I‘m tired of missing out on every-
thing." he said.

The reason for the switch is that
the route is a faster option for stu—
dents and staff. said Chrissie Bald-
ing Tune of Parking and Transporta-
tion Services. Parking and Trans—
portation Services mapped out
where the largest volume of calls
were coming in from and made a
route that would stop at all the cam-
pus hot spots.

Rising gas prices did not play a
role in the decision to change the
route. Tune said. However. she said
the Green Route is more efficient
than driving around campus for

pick-ups on a person-by-person ba-
sis.

The route also saved money be-
cause with on-demand service. UK
had to employ a person to answer
phones and a driver on Friday and
Saturday night. Tune said. Now.
only a driver is needed.

An estimated 750.000 rides are
logged for the CATS bus each year.
many of which are UK Hospital
employees and professional stu—
dents. Tune said. Parking and Trans-
portation Services does not measure
the number of people that ride the
Green Route. she said. although
about 35 people rode the bus on
Saturday. Sept. 13.

The new route has been getting
positive feedback and there are no
plans being made to change the
route back to on-demand. she said.

The CATS bus will keep similar
routes during the day for the 2008-
09 school year. although there are
changes to the daytime Red, White
and Blue routes.

For example. the Blue Route no
longer goes to Funkhouser Building.
Instead. it has been redirected to the
UK HealthC are center and the Good
Samaritan Hospital. The White
Route no longer goes through
Cooperstown Apartments.

Students who need a bus ride
Monday through Thursday from 11
pm, to 5:30 am. or Sunday from 7
pm. until midnight will still be able
to call (859) 221-7433 for on-de—
mand service.

Study

results

renew
criticism

By Rosalind Essig
ressig©kykernel com

UK released the findings of a
study on an oxygen—carrying treat»
ment, reviving criticisms of the study
and the treatment.

UK was one of 32 Level I Trauma
Centers participating in the study test-
ing the treatment PolyHeme. which
ran between 2004 and 2006. according
to a university press release Sept. It).

PolyHeme is a hemoglobin—based
oxygen carrier produced by the llliriois
company. Northfield Laboratories it
can carry oxygen like blood. and be-
cause it does not have red blood cells
it can be given to any blood type. said
Dr. Andrew Bernard. the UK trauma
surgeon that headed the study

Thirty—four of the 370 patients iii
the study were participating in l’K‘s
portion of the study. The trial was to rest
the hypothesis that the treatment would
increase the survival rate and lower the
rate of organ failure in trauma patients.

It did neither. which Bernard at-
tributes to the fact that the ayci‘agc
time from the field to the hospital was
26 minutes.

In an article in the Journal of the
American Medical Association in May.
Dr. Charles Natansorr concluded that
the hernoglobinbased substitute sig
nificantly increases the risk of heart at-
tack and death.

"The FDA gave approval tor this
trial in trauma patients even though the
FDA presumably had unpublished data
showing a significant increase in (my-
ocardial infarction. a type or heart dis-
ease) in the prior l’olyllernc trial in
vascular surgery patients." he said in

of the energy usage in every build-

practice that saves the university
$2.3 million a year and cuts its en-

they assume nothing's taking

the band perfomls outside on
the Student Center front
lawn. as part of Backyard
Beats concert series. a free
event sponsored by the Stu-
dent Activities Board.

“After hearing them at a
national convention in Febru-
ary I decided they would fit
perfect with the vibe we're
trying to achieve with the
Backyard Beats series." said
Louise Cincala. director of
concerts for the SAB.

The series is a laid back.
fun. light atmosphere cen-

good music. C incala said.

FLOREZ is comparable
to The John Mayer Trio.

finds uniqueness in their
style.

“They mix up the lyrics

The series. which is in its
first year. features a different

will also be giving away
prizes during the FLOREZ
event, including an iPod

ner for four people and free
T—shirts. which are given out
during every perfomiance.

“Wednesday will be a
great time to just kick back.

Cincala said. “FLOREZ‘s
music is perfect for a relaxed
fall weeknight with your

New Termanology gets support
from big names in hip-hop world

In exactly six days. the world will be for-
mally introduced to Termanology. a New
York-based MC that has made big waves in
the underground circuit as
of late. Term’s debut al—
bum. "Politics As Usual."
is set to be released at the
end of the month. and
boasts production from
DJ Premier. Havoc from
Mobb Deep. Alchemist
and Pete Rock just to
name a few. Much like

 

 

 

Uiuoou

producer Marco Polo‘s al-
ANJONEP’I bum. “Port Authority."
colfiliiisust which came out last year.

many fans will be attract-

ed by the roster of hip-

hop‘s finest that seem to
show out for this release. But Termanology is
the real spectacle. a lyrical meat cleaver with
one foot in ‘94 and the other in 2008.

For those who don‘t know Tennanology.
his story goes like this: He‘s a Lawrence.
Mass. native who based his music career out
of hip—hop‘s birth place. New York City. As a
good friend of mixtape-DJ. and fellow Mas—
sachusetts native. Statik Selektah. Term got
his start dropping singles on various mixtapes
which in tum earned him a substantial cult
following. Over the years. Term has built up
quite the rhyming resume. by dropping verses

alongside members of hip-hop's upper pan—
theon. including Royce Da 5‘9. Big Shug.
Trife. Sean Price and even Mr. Congeniality
himself. Kanye West.

Termanology first caught my ear when
the single “How We Rock" showed up in my
inbox. This track is the poster child for raw.
DJ Premier cuts. A simple drum arrangement.
ominous sample combination and scratched
in chorus make this joint certified street. Bun
B drops in and delivers his illest verse to
date. the baritone Houston heavy hitter pulls
out his sword and cuts this track to ribbons. l
copped this track a couple months back. and
it still sends chills up my spine every time I
hear it.

Obviously. a bulk of Term's popularity is
accredited to the influence that the internet
has had over hip—hop in the last few years.
Dropping a single online once a month has
seemed to work in his favor. by keeping fans
chomping at the bit for his new album and
exposing him to new listeners at the same
time. With the success of his “Hood Politics"
mixtapes and the deafening buzz he‘s built up
over the last year. Teririanology‘s debut
should be one for the books. Be on the look
out for a review of “Politics As Usual" after
the jump.

according to Nielsen Sound-

growing Rockabye Baby set
of discs that take rock reper—
toires from. say. U2. .Pink
Floyd and Queens of the

Stone Age. and turn them
into lullabies for babies. The
24 volumes combined have
moved 428.000 copies. ac—
cording to Rockabye Baby
Records. an imprint of New
York's CMH Records.

Those are the big ones.
but hardly the only ones. The
Praise Baby Collection con-
sists of 15 CDs and DVDs
offering worship music in
lullaby form. And of course
there‘s Putumayo Kids. the
children‘s branch of Putu-

also has Hushabyc Baby -

about the kids‘ music phe—
nomenon. “That‘s the kind of
niche that a record company
would look for. All the sales
have gone down in the last
six to seven years. so you are
going to look for growth op—
portunities. and the kids mar»
ket is one of them."

But the kids‘ music ex—
plosion is really about the
parents. The Rockabye Baby
library is the perfect example
of music aimed at mom and
dad but tailored for their ”1‘
fant. By taking the legendary
rock music of Led Zeppelin
and AC/DC and revamping it
as lullabies. the cool parent-
ing factor soars off the charts.

Neither candidate supports the CentrePointe project.
which involves building a complex including a high-rise
luxury hotel in the block between the comers of West
Main and South Upper streets and West Vine and South
Limestone streets.

“It takes away from the popular places where many
younger people have established themselves." said
Thomason. one of the founders of downtown preservation
organization Preserve Lexington. “1t is wrong that the de-
velopers of the project did not seek any community input."

Lawless said the C entrePointe plan is “not right for the
city."

“All the stakeholders. developers and architects need
to sit at the table and come up with a plan that is in ordi-
nance." she said.

Besides CentrePointe. the two candidates have other
topics they hope to address. -

Lawless said during the forum she would like to discuss
issues in Lexington neighborhoods. saying it has become
“students versus residents" in local neighborhoods. She
also said she wants to make sure students know basic rules.
such as where drivers can park. Lawless also wants to look
into safety issues such as building without a permit.

“I'm looking to embrace students and make them part
of the community." Lawless said. “There is no reason we
can‘t all live together safely and happily.“

Thomason plans to talk mostly about improvements
needed in downtown Lexington. he said. He also said con-
necting UK with downtown will be one of his goals. To
help bridge the gap between the two. Thomason wants to
improve South Limestone with better sidewalks and light-
ing. and more restaurants and entertainment that appeal to
students.

“1 want to help create a tnre college town." Thomason
said.

    
    
     
     
   
  
 
  
   
 
 
  
  
 
 
  
 
  
 
 
  
  
 
 
   
   
   
  

 

 

Lawmakers hostile to Treasury
bailout plan. insist on changes

By David Lightmln and Margaret Talc!
McClatchy Newspapers

WASHINGTON —— Congressional
lawmakers grew uneasy Tuesday about
the Bush administration‘s plan to spend
$700 billion rescuing America‘s finan-
cral industry. demanding provisions that
limit executive pay and assurance to
taxpayers that they‘re not writing a
blank check to bail out troubled firms.

Leaders of both parties were cau-
tiously optimistic that they'd be able to
pass a plan. perhaps by the end of this
week. but they were struggling to iron
out details. Republican conservatives
objected to the size and scope of the
package. while Democrats insisted on
adding stronger government oversight
and consumer protection. Changes were
assured. but in the end the administra—
tion is likely to win approval of a mas-
sive bailout package.

“We‘ve got to get this right. . . .
There is no second act." said Senate
Banking Committee Chairman Christo—
pher Dodd. D-Conn. Senate Republican
leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky
echoed that thought. adding. “We’re
anxious to act quickly."

The rank and file was stirring. how-
ever. Republican conservatives protest—
ed that the bailout is little more than an
expensive giveaway to big corporations
as well as an irresponsible govemment
intrusion into the private sector.

“This massive bailout is not the so-
lution. It is financial socialism. and it is
un-American." Sen. Jim Bunning. R-
Ky.. said at a Senate Banking Commit—
tee hearing at which members of both
parties spent five hours grilling top ad—
ministration officials.

Democrats were concemed that
chief executive officers and big compa-
nies stood to benefit at the expense of
middle- and lower-class taxpayers.

"This proposal is stunning and un-
precedented in its scope and lack of de—
tail." Dodd said. “It would allow the
(Treasury) secretary to intervene in the
economy by purchasing at least $700
billion of toxic assets. . . . It would do
nothing to help even a single family
save a home."

Still. the point man for the package
in the House of Representatives. Finan-
cial Services Committee Chairman Bar-

ney Frank. D-Mass.. said he didn‘t think
that the level of dissent on both sides of
the aisle was enough to derail a major
bailout package. and that “our primary
focus at this point is still getting the
thing nailed down with the Senate. 1
think we will be together on everything.

"Am 1 concerned about all the con-
cems'.’ You know. this is legislation. There
are some people who 1 think are trying to
derail it. but there are a lot of people who
honestly want to make this work."

Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
who appeared with Federal Reserve
Board C haimran Ben Bemanke before
Dodd‘s committee. tried to show empa-
thy with the public.

“1 share the outrage people have."
said Paulson, a former CEO of the huge
investment firm Goldman Sachs. “lt's
embarrassing to look at this. 1 think it‘s
embarrassing to the United States of
America. There‘s a lot of blame to go
around."

In the House. Republican members
met privately with Vice President Dick
Cheney and White House Budget Direc-
tor Jim Nussle in what was described as
a tense session.

"People want to try to enjoy capital-
ism on the way up. socialism on the
way down. and we know where that is
headed.“ said Rep. Jeb Hensarling. R-
Texas. “What we will end up with. 1 be—
lieve. is less freedom. less opportunity
for the next generation."

Whether such anger will erupt into
the kind of backbench rebellion that
forced negotiators in the 19805 and
1990s to make changes in tax and budg-
et deals remained unclear.

House Republican leader John
Boehner of Ohio explained the reserva~
tions that many GOP members shared.

“lt's the size of the solution that
causes great concern. and trying to
gauge the n'sk-to-reward ratio." he said.
"How serious is the problem. and how
imminent is the crisis?"

Still. leaders of both parties in both
chambers of Congress remained com-
mitted to moving ahead With some sub-
stantial financial—system rescue plan.

“It‘s about saving our economy.“
Boehner said.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. D-
C alif.. said that Democrats were unified
on the need for legislation but that it

must show that "the party is over for
compensation. for CEOs who take the
golden parachute as they drive their
companies into the ground."

The House is expected to debate the
plan first. perhaps as early as Thursday.
“There‘s going to be a lot of soul
searching over the next few days." said
Rep. Phil Gingrey. R-Ga.

The path to approval seem
