Film offers inside

Street vendors. traffic jams and the
overwhelming presence ofAmerican sol-
diers in Iraq filled the screen in Worsham
Theater last night as “Meeting Resis-
tance" opened with scenes of everyday
life in a neighborhood of Baghdad.

The goal of the filmmakers was to
present an objective look at views that
are very relevant to the conﬂict in Iraq
but very different from the ones Ameri—
cans usually hear ~ specifically. inter»
views with insurgents fighting the US.
presence in Iraq.

“The biggest adjustment I had to
make while ﬁlming was not to engage in
discussion or try to convince them (the
interview subjects) of my American be—
lief system. but to respect their views
and distill them to a larger audience."
said Molly Bingham. a photojournalist
and co-director of the ﬁlm. "I had to put
aside my national identity and see the
world the way these people saw it.“

With eight central characters, each
one a blurred or silhouetted resistance
lighter. the documentary revealed many
motivations behind the Iraqi resistance
against the American occupation.

Religion and defense of country
were the most commonly cited motiva-
tions for resistance. since many Iraqis
feel that an attack on their country
equates an attack on Islam. Bingham

said.

Bingham. co-director Steve Connors
and co—producer Daniel C halfen attended
the documentary‘s Lexington debut and
answered audience questions afterward.

Entering the country as freelance
joumalists with little safety equipment
and a lot vulnerability. the filmmakers
were able to gain the trust of their
sources. Connors said. noting that listen-
ing and asking reasonable questions
were important keys in this difficult
process.

Yahya Ahmed. a biology junior and
vice president of UK‘s Muslim Student
Association. was surprised by the char-
acters‘ positive perceptions of Saddam
Hussein.

“I know many Iraqis who live in
Lexington. and they don't like him."
Ahmed said. “Most don‘t even say he is
a Muslim. but these people (in the film)
were defending him."

Alyson Goff, a journalism senior.
had mixed feelings about the film.

“In a way. it angered me to see them
disvalue American life like that. but in
other ways it helped open my eyes to
their beliefs as well." Goff said.

As a Muslim. Ahmed hopes people
will understand the importance of the is-
sues presented.

“They relate to me on a personal lev-
el." Ahmed said. “And the situation
doesn‘t only affect just Iraqi history. but
also American history — forever.“

BSU
takes on

black
faculty

By Jessica Rouse
riews@kykernel.com

More than a plaque is at stake
for the students playing in UK‘s
Black Student Union versus black
faculty and alumni basketball
game.

“The students get to network
with the alumni. many of whom
were in BSU while they were
here." said LaShana Porter, the
president of BSU. an organization
that promotes excellence and re-
tention to minority students.

Porter said the students make
connections to help them get in-
ternships and job opportunities by
participating in the game. which
will take place tonight at the
Seaton Center.

Emmet "Buzz" Burnani. who
is the head coach of the
faculty/alumni squad and works
in Office of Minority Affairs to
recruit black students. said it is
encouraging for the students to
see how successful the black
alumni are.

The game. nicknamed "Mo‘-
Betta” after Spike Lee's film
“Mo‘Better Blues." provides a
chance for the alumni and stu—
dents to interact. When they meet
on the court. though. it‘s all about
getting the plaque awarded to the
winner each year —— or about get-
ting it back.

Although the faculty has a
history of winning the game. the
BSI7 students won the plaque last
year.

“They hayc it this year. and
\\c want it back." Buriiam said.

Hov\e\cr. James Frazier. the
BSL‘ team‘s head coach and agri»
cultural biotechnology junior.
said his team has a good chance
of keeping the plaque.

“We have speed: we are
young guys: we like to run." Fra»
xicr said.

Juniors Joshua Artis. Blaine
Lynch and Brandon Mason. all of
whom Frazier credits as talented
athletes. are on the BSL' roster.

Fathers and daughters don‘t usu-
ally spend quality time together
among fake blood and faux corpses.

But last night. Katie Thompson
and her father. Rock Thompson. did.
They visited the 28th annual Boyd-
Patterson Haunted House some-
thing significant to both.

Rock Thompson was a resident
adviser at Boyd Hall from I976 to
1978. Katie is currently an RA in
what is now the Boyd‘Patterson
Residence Hall Complex.

“The staffl worked for originat<
ed the thing. It's weird now to see
my daughter doing this." said
Thompson. a [978 UK graduate.
“The first year we did it. it was
smaller. We donated a couple hun»
dred dollars to the United Way."

“I didn‘t even know he was con»
nectcd with it." said his daughter. a
mathematics and biology junior.

Both came to the event as a way
to spend time together.

"I wanted to go through it with
my daughter." Thompson said.

Other members of the UK com
munity used the haunted house as a

way to connect with friends.

“My first three years here (as
hall director of Patterson Hall). I
was involved with this." said Marcia
Shrout. assistant director of RcsI~

I‘I'le DiSI-l

Sign no. i your divorce isn't
going well: when the person
who introduced you to your
bride publicly apologizes. in
London's Daily Mail on Oct. 19.
UK. joumalist Piers Morgan
wrote about ex-Beatle Paul Mc-
Cartney and his estranged wife.
Heather Mills McCartney: "1 am
at least partly responsible for the
hell he is going through at the
hands of this vengeful. shame—
less. ghastly woman."

The day before. the paper
had published explosive court
documents reportedly filed by
Heather (the leaked papers were
unsigned and undated. but no
one involved has denounced
them as fakes). accusing the
singer of domestic violence and
alcohol and drug abuse (see box.
opposite page). The papers say
Paul choked her. cut her with a
broken wine glass and. when she
was four months pregnant.
"pushed her into the bath."

Nasty splits are nothing new,
but what makes these allegations
especially shocking is that until
now. Paul. 64. had been por-
trayed in the press as the victim
in the four-year marriage. (They
have a daughter. Beatrice. 3.)

Meanwhile. Heather. 38. has
been depicted as volatile and
controlling. with a sordid past
(she modeled nude and reported—
ly worked as a call girl. which
she has denied). Even before the
couple's $3.2 million wedding in
2002. the humanitarian activist
—— who lost her leg in a 1993
road accident ﬂ was labeled a
gold digger who wanted the

widower’s $1.6 billion fortune;
since the two had no prenup
(Paul didn't want one), she
stands to collect at least $60 mil-
lion. according to the Daily
Mail.

Who's Lying?

if the document leak was an
attempt by Heather (or her
camp) to garner public sympa-
thy or bolster her chances of get-
ting custody of Beatrice. it hasn't
worked.

“The general feeling in Eng-
land is that she may have shot
herself in the foot." London at-
torney Alan Kaufman. head of
family law at Finers Stephens
Innocent Solicitors, tells Us.
Judges “don't like" such “de-
tailed and lurid allegations.“ he
says. which may work against
her in court. (In fact. he says. it’s
illegal in England to publish
court documents. although an in-
vestigation will not take place
unless a complaint is ﬁled.)

NYC celebrity divorce attor-
ney Raoul Felder tells Us. how-
ever. the charges "could affect
custody. Think about it: The
worst way to abuse a child is to
abuse its mother." But instead of
outrage against Paul. there has
been an outpouring of support.
As Geoff Baker. his friend and
ex—publicist. tells US. “He's
probably the person with the
biggest heart of anyone I've ever
met. with the exception of [his
late wife] Linda. What she’s say-
ing is rubbish. Anyone who
knows Paul knows that." Even

Bitter Splits

Paul McCartney, a drunken,
abusive lout? Yes, if papers
allegedly filed by estranged wife
Heather are for real

Heather's estranged father. Mark
Mills. is on Paul's side. “She
can't tell fact from fiction." he
told the British tabloid News of
the World. (Reps for Heather
and Paul were unavailable for
comment.)

For now. Paul’s only re-
sponse was an Oct. 18 statement
from his lawyers. which said the
singer “will be defending these
allegations vigorously and ap-
propriately." His silence. howev-
er. should not be mistaken for
resignation. says a McCartney
source: “Paul is in a really bad
way. He feels like Heather has
stabbed him in the back a bun—
dred times over." For her part. a
London source tells Us.
“Heather's fed up with being
seen as the nasty one. She’s
quite happy to do whatever it
takes to change that perception.”

Best for Bea

Since the May 17 separation
announcement. the couple‘s pri-
ority had been their daughter.
Over the summer. they even
lived in nearby houses in New
York's Hamptons in order to
share custody. For Beatrice's
birthday on Oct. 28. Paul and
Heather had been expected to
come face to face. “Paul didn't
want separate parties for Bea
just because her parents can‘t get
it together." says a source. Ac-
cording to the Daily Mail.
though. the joint celebration is
now off. But then. for Paul and
Heather. the party has been over
for a long time.

UK alumnus Frank X. Walker will also be on the
court for the faculty/alumni team. Walker. an accom-

Luther King Jr. Cultural Center. helped in founding the
game 16 years ago. With his players in mind, Burnam
said his team has something over the students.

“We have wisdom on our side." Burnam said.

Frazier said the BSU team has practiced three times
a week for about a month and a half.

That practice routine trumps Burnam‘s squad. which
has only practiced once.

“Old men don’t like to be practicing all the time."
he said.

Although the plaque is on the line. Burnam said the
side that takes it home is secondary to what the game
really does for both groups.

“It's bragging rights. but we don‘t really care who

The event raised almost
$1.000 for the Hospital Hospi—

walking distance from the
Boyd-Patterson Residence Hall
Complex.

The Hospital Hospitality
House. a small nonproﬁt corpo-
ration for family members and
loved ones of seriously ill pa—
tients. receives no funding from
city. county. state or federal
government or the United Way
of the Bluegrass, according to
its Web site (www.hospitalhos~

Last year. the haunted house
raised more than $800.

“in the past. we raised the
money for the United Way of
the Bluegrass. Now it‘s for the
Hospital Hospitalin House so
that we can keep it local." said

Farrah Dicken. resident director
of Patterson Hall.

“The director (K. Lynn
Morgan) is so appreciative of
the money,“ Dicken said. “He is
so grateful — it feels so good to
go in person and see how it di-
rectly affects the people housed
there."

Around 300 to 350 people
come to the event every year.
Dicken said.

Not just students attend the
event. For the past three years,
children from the Phillips

in conjunction with the Student

Close to 20 children attended

iron pour draws regional crowd to contest

By John Croweli
news@kykernel.com

Though it resides in a
small. tucked-away corner of
campus. the UK sculpture de-
partment is serving as a gath»
ering place for some of the
best sculpture artists of the
South and Midwest.

Every year. UK Sculpture
and SCRAP Student Sculpture
Club participate in an iron
pour in which college metal—
workers join with guest artists
and sculpture instructors to
make sculptures with pre-
made molds and smoldering
liquid iron.

Students of all majors are
encouraged to participate in
the event.

“We’re trying to turn stu—
dents on to the process of
pouring iron." said Professor
Garry R. Bibbs. head of the
sculpture area in the art de‘
partment. “There are a lot of
ways for everyone to get in—

New tanning ointment
keeps mice cancer-free

By Jennifer White
newsakykernelcom

A research team at UK has
discovered a new use for an old
chemical that could prevent
skin cancer — at least in mice

The chemical is called
forskolin, and though it has
been used before to treat med-
ical conditions. “it is the first
time it‘s been used in this ap-
proach," said Dr. John D‘O-
razio. the leader of the research
team and an assistant professor
of toxicology at UK.

D’Orazio's work. which
was published in the Sept. 21
issue of Nature magazine. tests
how light-skinned mice react to
sun exposure differently de-
pending on whether they were
treated with a topical forskolin
mixture.

When exposed to the same
amount of ultraviolet rays. the
light-skinned mice that re-
ceived forskolin developed
dark skin over time. while the
light~skinned mice without
forskolin developed sunbums
and tumors.

The forskolin mixture is ap-
plied to the skin of the mice for
weeks. and little by little. as
they are exposed to UV rays.
their skin begins to darken.
D’Orazio said.

“The more forskolin you
put on the mice. the darker they
get." he said.

This is a good thing for the
mice because the dark skin pro-
tects them from sun damage
and skin cancer. D'Orazio said.
In dark skin. as opposed to
light skin. there is eumelanin. a
type of melanin that allows for
darker coloring.

is like a natural sun—
screen." D‘Orazio said.

Malinda Spry. a graduate
student at UK. has been work-
ing on this research with D’O-
razio for about two years.

“I work on determining the
role that melanin plays in caus—
ing oxidative damage in the
skin. which may lead to an iri—
crease risk of melanoma. and
how forskolin can be used to
prevent this damage." Spry
said.

The use of forskolin on hu—
mans must be tested. and Spry

said there's a long way to go
before that is possible.

“The mechanism that
forskolin uses to cause pigment
changes in our mice will proba-
bly not be the most practical
way to cause tanning in hu—
mans." Spry said. “It does give
us a step in the right direction.
but is far from being the end-
point."

Still. D’Orazio said. the
discovery is important.

“This research is a novel
thing because we didn‘t know
if light-skinned people could
make eumelanin.” D’Orazio
said. The hope is that humans
will react in the same way as
the mice. by producing eu-
malenin.

Studies have shown that
light-skinned people are more
likely than dark-skinned people
to get skin cancer as a result of
sun exposure. According to the
Skin Cancer Foundation web-
site. “melanoma is uncommon
in African-Americans. Latinos
and Asians. and the majority of

people diagnosed with
melanoma are white men over
age 50."

D‘Orazio said this racial
difference in cancer susceptibil—
ity is because light-skinned
people cannot develop the UV-
blocking eumelanin naturally.
Forskolin. if found to be safe
on humans. would allow light-
skinned people to tan by “sig-
naling" skin cells to produce
eumelanin.

Tim Scott. also a graduate
student at UK. has been work-
ing with D’Orazio on this re-
search since June.

“1 work a lot with an in vit-
ro cell culture system. looking
for other effects of forskolin."
Scott said.

Scott agreed that much
more research needs to be
done. but seemed optimistic
about the possibilities.

“it holds great promise for
those with pigment disorders."
Scott said. “It may also lead to
a potentially better or more ef—
fective sunscreen."

If nothing else. D‘Orazio
said he’d “be very happy to see
the closing of tanning beds as
the result of this. if it's found to
be safe."

Local band's new
album a statement
to the world

9y Michael Powell
featureskakernelcom

As "New Weird America."
the movement of artists toward
freak-folk and psychedelia. be-
gins to reach an apex. local
band Warmer Milks is titillating
eardrums internationally. caus-
ing writers and music geeks to
wonder what‘s in the water in
Lexington.

1n the past year. Warmer
Milks were personally asked by
Bonnie "Prince" Billy and
Comets on Fire to join their
tours. shared the stage with lu-
minaries Awesome Color. lndi-
an Jewlery and Hush Arbors.
received countless positive
press. and were consequentially
picked up by revered Indie la—

bel Troubleman to melt a larger
amount of brains.

“Radish on Light" is a
statement to the world. Warmer
Milks prove throughout the
record that they are in an in—
tense and grotesque battle for
the world's loudest psychedelic
band.

Think if Black Sabbath and
Can played together. with the
setting of a scene out of Caligu-
la. Think of tribal beats sum-
moning demons out of the Riv-
er of Styx. Think multiple gui-
tars. oversized amps. drones
and squelches of noise.

Warmer Milks bring out
their victory march on the
grandiose “Pentagram of
Sores." a stacked. sludgy. pro-
gressive canticle built around

grooves and a swirling atonal

center.

Recommended if you dig: Can.

”Press Play”
Diddy

Pressing play on “Press Play" led to a
world of strange ambiguity. moral reconsid~
eration and compromising personal integrity.

First. it needs to be addressed that this
new name. Diddy. is too reminiscent of Did-
dy Kong. Donkey Kong‘s esteemed primate
sidekick. to be taken seriously. It is also. as
a basic rule of public relations. in bad fomi
to not settle on a name. Prince learned this
10 years ago.

Secondly. Diddy is the epitome of rela-
tive deprivation in this country. a symbol of
our cultures seemingly unquenchable ob—
session with people who ﬂashily consume.
People like Diddy create an acute culture of
materialism. ultimately lowering the bar for
everyone.

It bothered me to no end that I found
the beats to be tight. Being a musician
too. I can at least appreciate when the pro—
duction is really well executed. Of course. it
should be well-produced. considering that

“Press Play" is unequivocally all style and
undeniably no substance.

“Press Play" is almost an unintentional
concept album about wealth. Consider the

lineup: Mary J. Blige. Jamie Foxx. Big Boi.

Nas. Fergie. Kanye West. Pharrell Williams
from the Neptunes and Havoc from Mobb
Deep turning the knobs. This top—of—the-
game line-up showcases. once again. Diddy
being able to spend top dollar and showing
it off. If you can see beyond the sheer ex-
travagance that borders on indulgence.
“Press Play" bolsters one behemoth of a
mainstream hip-hop album.

Diddy now shares his name with a mon-
key. creates an album with big names to
show off his networking skills. calls his al»
bum nothing short of a command. makes
some really rad beats and causes this re—
viewer to lose sight of principle and appreci»
ate an incredulous. corny. slick. but tragical—
ly enjoyable (in all novelty) record.
