Not just a lot of hot air

Balloonist Frank McCrory is battling more than the wind when he pilots his hot air

balloon. MeCrory’s balloon has a pink section representing breast cancer \ietims and a

lavender section for victims for all other cancers. The balloon had been signed in

memory of Victims and survivors. McCrory has a new balloon expected to be ready

in the next few months that will be in the shape of a cancer ribbon.

UK neurologist studies near-death experiences

By Shannon Mason
his mm m

A recent study conducted by a UK
HealthCare neurologist is gaining wide
spread media attention.

Dr. Kevin Nelson’s study, published
in the April 11 issue of Neurology, the
scientiﬁc journal of the American Acad-
emy of Neurology, examines the connec-
tion between near-death experiences
and the REM (rapid eye movement) state
of sleep

Nelson said he thinks the study is
gaining attention for several reasons.

"Death is a uniform condition of
life," he said. “And the study involves the
paranormal and n'anscenden

ABC News. the BBC and United
Press International all reported on the
study.

The study compared the sleep experi-

mmmwmam

ences of 55 people who had reported
having neardeath experiences to those
of 55 people who hadn’t had neardeath
experiences, Nelson said.

The study deﬁnes a near-death expe
rience as a time during an episode of
danger, such as a car accident, when a
person experienced a variety of feelings
including a sense of being outside of
one’s physical body, unusual alertness,
seeing an intense light and a feeling of
peace.

Nelson's study found that a condition
called REM intrusion. where REM sleep
blends with wakefulness, may be a cause
of near-death experiences.

Some symptoms of REM intrusion
are temporary paralysis and hallucina-
tions, Nelson said.

, Accordingtothesmdyof thepeople
who have near-death experienws, 60 per-
cent describe times of REM intrusion.

0f the people without near death experi-
ences, only 24 percent report times of
REM intrusion.

Thus, near death experiences may be
the result of arousal system differences
caused by REM intrusion. Nelson said.

Nelson said it is important for people
to realize that his study did not seek to
ﬁnd out why people have near death ex-
periences. but rather to get a better un-
derstanding of how they occur.

“This was a spiritually neutral
study," Nelson said. “it doesn't have a
bearing on the meaning of a personal
experience.”

Nelson also said neardeath experi-
ences are more common than is thought.

“People just don‘t talk about them,"
he said. “They’re afraid people will
think they're crazy or wacko. It's just too
unusinl."

Hospital bed tower, pharmacy complex
get go-ahead thanks to state funding

By Shannon Mason
TME KENTUCKY mm

The incoming freshmen
of Fall 2006 will be the first
students to see the comple-
tion of two of UK's capital
projects expected to aid in its
climb to the status of a Top
20 university.

A new building that will
house the College of Phar-
macy should be completed
within the next three to four
years, said William C.
Lubawy, associate
dean for academic af-
fairs in the College of
Pharmacy.

Also. UK Health-
Care’s new patient
care tower is sched-
uled to open some-
time between 2010
and 2011, said Dr.
Michael Karpf. exec~
utive vice president
for health affairs.

The College of
Pharmacy is in des-
perate need for a new
facility, but not be-
cause the current one
is too old.

“It’s just over 20
years old.” said
Lubawy. “So, why is
it not adequate? Be-
cause it is only 60
percent of the in-
tended size.

“The day we moved in it
was already too small."

Lubawy said the current
building is designed well for
85-88 students per entering
class. The class of 2009,
which entered this past fall,
has 131 members.

Patrick J. McNamara.
professor and chair of phar-
maceutical sciences. said
that Kentucky has “an acute
shortage of pharmacists.“

“We‘re trying to meet
(the state's) demands and we
can‘t do it in the physical

ists."

"(Without a
new facility)
we can't grow
sophisticated
programs.
We'll go back-
wards with-
out it and
lose a lot of
our special-

executive vp for health affairs

constraints of this building,"
McNamara said.

The current building has
already experienced renova-
tions. Walls have been moved
and labs have been built, not
in open spaces, but in “nooks
and crannies,” said Lubawy

“When we have increased
the size of practice labs,
we've had to steal space from
other areas," said Robert
Yokel. professor and associ-
ate dean for research and
graduate education in the
College of Phar-
macy.

One resulting
problem from
this makeshift ex-
pansion is the
lack of men‘s re-
strooms. Since
the majority of
the pharmacy
students are fe-
male. the men’s
restroom on the
second ﬂoor was
turned into a
women’s re-
stroom. The only
men's restroom
available now is
on the third ﬂoor,
meaning that
male students
and professors
have to walk up-
stairs to use the
restroom.

Also. the College of Phar-
macy now has faculty and
students in 16 total build-
ings: 13 on-campus and 3 off-
campus.

“Our faculty is very stu—
dent-friendly.” Lubawy said,
adding that it is hard for
them to be student-friendly
when they are spread out all
over campus and some off-
campus.

Students are also lacking
in study space inside the col—
lege.

As us reported in the last issue, Angelina
Jolie and Brad Pitt's bundle of joy will be for-
eign—born. Jolie, 30, and Pitt, 42, "have chosen
to have [their] baby here because she loves
Namibia," the governor of the country's
Erongo Region, Samuel Nuuyoma -- who had
breakfast with the couple April 14 -- tells Hot
Stuff. (Jolie's rep would only say, "Everyone is
hoping for a healthy baby") The family -- in-
cluding Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 1 -- has al—
ready made itself at home. On April 11, Pitt
and Maddox, who now have matching mo-
hawks, took an all-terrain vehicle tour in the
desert. "Brad went with a guide and loved it,"
the instructor, James Tromp, tells Us. Still,
Jolie's ex-girlfriend, model Jenny Shimizu,
38, doesn't think the relationship will last.
"Angelina loves danger and dabbling in the
dark side," Shimizu told England's News of
the World. "That's where she gets her kicks --
not playing happy families with one man."

Lindsay's Fling With Ratner!

After being spotted getting close at LA
hot spot The Dime on April 8, Lindsay Lohan,
19, and director Brett Ratner, 37, have taken
their action to the East Coast. A source tells
Hot Stuff that on April 15, Ratner booked a
room at NYC's Mercer hotel right next to L0-
han, who was in town to shoot Saturday
Night Live. "They're hooking up," a source
tells Us. Later, the X-Men: The Last Stand di-
rector showed up at the SNL afterparty at a
Heartland Brewery. But Ratner may have
some competition. A source tells Us Lohan
also has her eye on Keira Knightley's ex,
model Jamie Dornan. "They met at a Calvin
Klein dinner and had feelings right away,"
says the insider "He came to SNL and was
backstage supporting her." Lohan's rep tells
Us, "I don't comment on Lindsay's personal
life."

Jen's B-day Presents!

Happy Birthday, indeed! Although Jen-
nifer Garner (a.k.a. Mrs. Ben Afﬂeck) had to
ﬁlm Alias in Malibu, California, on April 17 -

DiSH

Pitt, Jolie set
to have baby
in Africa .

- her 34th birthday -- the star still had plenty
to smile about. "A small airplane ﬂew across
the sky all morning that said, Happy Birth-
day. We love you, " a source tells Hot Stuff.
And just before breaking for lunch at 2 p. m.,
the cast and crew sang her a rousing "Happy
Birthday" Says the source, "She couldn't stop
smiling." The best part? After the meal, new
mom Garner retired to her trailer to spend
time with 5month- old daughter Violet.

Brody Dishes on Nick 5 Kristin

Nick Lachey, 32, and Kristin Cavallari, 19,
may be over, but Cavallari's ex, Brody Jenner,
22, still has thoughts on the subject. "I think
the age difference was a little strange," he
tells Hot Stuff. "But besides that, Nick is a
great guy and Kris is a great girl.” He adds
that he’s not getting back together with the
{jaguna Beach star. "I'm single now," he tells

Lost Stars Dating

It's a family affair! Ian Somerhalder and
Maggie Grace -- who played spoiled step-sib—
lings Boone and Shannon on ABC's hit drama
Lost -- are dating offscreen, Hot Stuff has
learned. "They stay out of the limelight," a
source tells Us. "But they spend a lot of time
hanging out and working out together at
Gold's Gym [in Venice Beach, California]."
Somerhalder, 27, and Grace, 22 -- whose char-
acters hooked up in a ﬂashback sequence on
Lost before they were both killed off -- "kiss
and hold hands when they come and go from
the gym," says the source. "You can tell
they're a couple." Indeed! At a March 3 Dolce
& Gabbana party at the Chateau Marmont in
LA, Somerhalder "had his hand on her leg
and she linked her arm through his," says an-
other source. "She laid her head on his shoul-
der." (Grace's rep had no comment and
Somerhalder‘s publicist couldn't be reached

The joy of six: UK comes back
twice from six down for sweep

9! Jonathan Smith

"I KENTUCKY mm

Hopefully the 1998 nation-
al championship men's bas-
ketball team won’t mind if
the 2006 baseball team bor-
rows the nickname “Come-
back Cats.”

For the second straight
game against South Caroli-
na, UK overcame a six-run
deﬁcit to pull out an improb
able win.

And atterward, the team
partied like it was 1999 — the
last time the Wildcats swept
the Gamecocks in a three-
game series.

“It’s big," head coach
John Cohen said after his
team’s 12-9 win in front of
2,059 fans at Cliff Hagan Sta-
dium. “There’s no question
it’s big. Because now the next
time you enter a weekend
you say ‘Hey, we can sweep
somebody.”

Greg Dombrowski (7-1)
earned the win for the No. 21
Wildcats (3010, 11-7 South-
eastern Conference), making
him the ﬁrst Cat hurler since
2003 to reach seven wins in a
season. He threw five in-
nings, giving up six runs on
nine hits. The win moved UK
into a first-place tie in the

Second baseman John Shelby attempts to turn a double play Saturday.
Shelby hit two home runs in UK’s weekend sweep of No. 7 South Carolina.

SEC East.

Holding true to form,
Dombrowski struggled to ﬁnd
a rhythm in the ﬁrst inning.
He hit the opening batter of
the game, then gave up three
singles allowing No. 7 USC
(3011, 11-7) to take a 20 lead.

“I never really got into a
complete groove today,” Dom-
browski said. “The best thing
I could is to keep battling and
keep our team in the game.”

Dombrowski almost
pitched his team out of the
game in the fourth inning.

With a man on ﬁrst and
one out, Cheyne Hurst laid
down a bunt in front of home
plate. Catcher Sean Coughlin
overran the ball, leaving every-
one safe. Third baseman Neil
Giesler singled to load the
bases, and was followed by a
single and a sacrifice ﬂy to
score two. A single by Cock
designated hitter Drew Mar-
tin knocked in the ﬁnal run
of the inning.

The Cats chipped away at
the six-run lead in the bot-
tom half of the fourth. First
baseman Ryan Strieby belted
a lead off home run to left
center field. It was Strieby's
12th long ball of the year, and

his second straight weekend
with two home runs.

Two batters later, second
baseman John Shelby
smoked a two-run home run
to right center ﬁeld, narrow-
ing the gap to 63.

“I just went with it (the
pitch),” Shelby said. “I get a
little aggressive sometimes
and get out of my rhythm
but I just used what they
gave me.”

In the bottom of the ﬁfth
inning UK exploded for five
runs. With one out, Bertram
doubled to right center, plat-
ing Strieby from ﬁrst. After a
Shelby ground out, USC
pitcher Kyle Brown walked
Grace, leaving the door open.
Aﬁer an RBI single by short-
stop Ryan Wilkes, left ﬁelder
Shaun Lehmann blasted a
three-run home run over the
left center ﬁeld wall.

“I was studying the pitch-
er and his sequences through-
out my different at-bats,”
Lehmann said. “I learned
that the coach liked to call
curveballs and then come
back with another curve. He
was going to mix it up."

The Cocks scored once in

the sixth to cut the lead to
one, but the Cats answered
with four more runs in the
bottom half of the inning,
breaking the game open.
Aﬁer an RBI single by
Strieby, and an error by Caroli-
na right ﬁelder Robbie
Grinestaﬂ‘ that led to another
run, Shelby again went to the
opposite ﬁeld, scoring Bertram.
“In a ball park like this.
or at a place like South Car-
olina or at the place in
Gainesville, you just have to
score as many as you can, re-
gardless of how good the
pitching is," Cohen said.
UK’s Andrew Albers en-
tered the game in the ninth
inning to pick up his ﬁrst ca-
reer save and set off an erup
tion from a raucous crowd
that included three fans hold-
ing brooms, and sending his
teammates into delirium.
“We get excited like that
after every win,” Shelby said.
“But I guess Kentucky hasn’t
swept in a long time so we
ﬁgured that to be a big thing.
“We’re going to keep cele-
brating."

For all the Facebookcom
and Myspace.com addicts out
there. there’s now something
else that will get your mouse
clicking.

A Web site known for
catering to high school stu-
dents and their interests is be-
ing revamped to attract a
broader demographic, includ-
ing college students.

Third Dimension Design
is revamping its Web site,
based on iHighcom, to attract
15 to ZSyear-olds.

The new site will be simi-
lar to Myspace.com and Face-
bookcom in that it connects
individuals through a digital
social network. but differs in
how it connects people.
Whereas other sites connect
people by friendship and mu-
tual acquaintances,
iHigh.com will connect people
by their interests. Users will
be able to write blog entries
about their interests and will
also be able to see others’
comments about the same
topics.

“Our goal is to create a
community of communities.“
said John Williamson.
president of 3rddimensionde-
signcom.

Williamson and Third Di-
mension Design are setting
out to ﬁnd people to publish
what they know and love by

a minimum of two people in
each team with the goal being
to promote special interests
and build a following.

The Web site's designers
are also incorporating ad-
vanced technology to try to
stand out from their peers.

Multimedia delivery,
which enables users to upload
audio and video ﬁles. and au-
dio blogging. which allows
users to record themselves or
interview others over the
phone, are two examples of
the ways in which iHighcom
will differ from other net-
works.

The network will also
partner with different sites,
using links from keywords
and interlinking content
across their networks. said

Williamson.

Intense advertising, in-
cluding an RV draped in ad-
vertisements traveling to high
schools and colleges, will
push a strategic campaign to
get the word out about the
Web site.

iHigh.com already pulls in
around $300000 to $500,000 in
ad revenue each month and is
hoping to increase those ﬁg-
ures by increasing their tar-
get audience.

“If the new iHigh can
combine features from both
Myspace and Facebook. it is
very possible to increase their
audience." said psychology ju-
nior John Robinson.

Still. some issues concern
students about iHighcom ~-
issues that have recently tran-
scended the internet social

soci

networking scene.

“Privacy would be a big is—
sue," said elementary educa-
tion junior Sarah Baumann.
“I like Facebook because I feel
safer. The majority of people
that look on there are in col-
lege, whereas something like
Myspace doesn’t have require-

- ments and I would feel less

safe on it."

Security is something
iHigh creators are taking into
consideration, and they say
the site is already secure.

“We want to force the cre-
ation and let it grow as part of
a large network, empowering
people to be their own celebri-
ty,” Williamson said.

Whether your interests lie
in sports. music, cars or any-
thing else, Williamson is con-
ﬁdent that there is a place to
express your interests on
iHighcom.

“We are asking people this
question,'What’s your cre-
ative high?” Williamson
posited.

“Students have to sit in the hall-
ways to study," Lubawy said. “UK‘s
med center has the lowest student
study space per student.”

Yokel said there are other rea-
sons behind the new building as
well.

“I think the growth of the
(pharmacy) program is one rea-
son,” Yokel said. “And it also plays
in with the top-20 (plan). It helps
support that effort."

McNamara said the new build-
ing will be located on South Lime-

stone Street and Leader Avenue
next to the Biomedical/Biological
Sciences Research Building and
across from the Kentucky Clinic.

“We’ll be the ﬁrst to move to the
other side of Limestone,” McNama-
ra said, adding that the intention is
to eventually get all of the health
care colleges on that side of the
street.

The new building will be 240,000
square feet.

“We will more than double our
instructional space and there will
be about a 40 percent increase in re-
search space,” McNamara said.

McNamara said the planning
for the new building is currently in
the middle of the programming
phase.

“This is where we determine

what types, sizes and the number of
classrooms," McNamara said. “Of
course, the male students are ask-
ing how many restrooms there will
tn."

Yokel said this phase is sched-
uled to ﬁnish in May, when the
schematics phase begins.

Lubawy said the schematics
phase focuses on adjacencies —
what things need to be near each
other.

The architects working on the
new building are from the firm
EOP Architects. in Lexington, and
Ellenzweig Associates Inc., from
Cambridge, Mass, Yokel said.

UK also has needs for a new pa-
tient care tower, said Dr. Michael
Karpf.

“The current building can’t sup-

port the technological care we
give,” said Karpf. “The floor-to—ceil-
ing heights are too low and the pa-
tient rooms are too small."

Karpf said a new patient care
tower is needed to maintain the
programs and doctors the universi-
ty supports.

“(Without a new facility) we
can’t grow sophisticated pro-
grams,” Karpf said. “We’ll go back-
wards without it and lose a lot of
our specialists.“

The new patient care tower will
be located on the site of the med-
ical center‘s current parking
garage. A new garage is being built
between Transcript Avenue and
Conn Terrace on South Limestone
Street. When the new garage opens
in August 2007 the old one will be

to go for $1000," said Dr. Lori
Shook.

When the money was
counted, the doctors had
easily surpassed their goal
of $1.000, ﬁnishing the day
with $1,300.

The doctors were not the
only ones enjoying a day of
bright colored ﬂowered
shirts. Babies in the Pedi-
atric Intensive Care Unit
were dressed in hand-made
Hawaiian shirts and green
paper grass skirts.

Shook, along with Dr.
Daryl Lyons, received $5
from every hospital employ-
ee that wore a Hawaiian
shirt and were selling leis,
faux Hawaiian ﬂower neck-
laces, to hospital staff to
compliment their bright at-
tire.

All the donations were
being collected in the honor
two pediatricians at the UK
Children’s Hospital, Hubert
Ballard and Heinrich Wern-
er, and it was their decision
to donate the money to the
Markey Cancer Center.

Lyons said everyone in
the hospital was more than
willing to donate to the
cause.

“I walked around the
hallways earlier and total

money in my pocket." Lyons
said.

Lyons said all of the
money donated was being
given to the Markey Cancer
Center.

By 10 am, the doctors
had sold all but four leis af-
ter beginning the day with
400

With so many people
walking around the halls of
the hospital in their best
Jimmy Buffet attire, it be-
came unclear who was in
charge of the fundraiser.

“Whoever did this, this
is a really nice thing," said
Dr. Trina Van Guilder. a
physician in endoscopy.

For some, the day more
than just a dress-down day
at the hospital.

Denise Price. a techni-
cian in angiography whose
son died of leukemia at the
age of 16, said she was
moved by the willingness to
donate to the cause.
