Big Blue U and Other Things is year K Week replaced Welcome Week as freshmen and new students came to campus to start their colle- giate odyssey. Highlight of the week was Big Blue U, a high energy, pep rally style event that began with a walk across campus to Commonwealth Stadium and included the Pep Band and Cheerleaders, fireworks and the new Traditions-T shirt was handed out to every student there. Your UK Alumni Association working with Stu- dent Affairs sponsored a T-shirt design contest. Students voted on the winning design that was revealed at Big Blue U. We’re already anticipating what next year’s winning Traditions T-shirt will look like. Students are en- couraged to wear “the” T-shirt throughout the year on game day when the alumni prize patrol will be out on campus. K Week also marked the return of the freshman K Book which explains all things UK, its history, traditions, where Kentucky blue comes from, the words to “On, On U of K” and so much more. You, too, can get your 2007 T-shirt from the UK Alumni Association online store, kentuckygear.com while supplies last. e association also had big numbers at the Welcome Back picnic and Legacy reception attended by parents who can’t help compare their first days at UK as their children embark on their own UK experience. Judging by the response of students, K Week was a big hit. is summer the UK Alumni Association found out a lot about you and a lot about us through a research project that included focus groups in six cities around the country and an online survey about alumni percep- tions and programs. It has given us a lot of information to use to improve what we do to engage you with each other and with the university through the UK Alumni Association. As a direct result of the research, one thing you will see is more family oriented programming. e first annual UK Alumni Day at Kings Island was at- tended by over 1,700 alumni, faculty, staff, and students. If you are looking for an excuse to plan a trip to a theme park, this is the day to do it. We also are taking our important alumni career services on the road. Special career workshops are being planned for Young Alumni, for women and for mid-career changers. Speed networking will be a part of those events. Supported by the Jane I. Morris Endowment, this past fiscal year the association /career center counselor was able to assist 658 alumni by telephone, e-mail or in-person. Check out Career Corner on page 45 in this issue for upcoming career fairs and other infor- mation and tips. If you are seeking new career opportunities, look up what’s available online through the UK Stuckert Career Center. e best way to take advantage of the value of being engaged with your university and being a part of its rise toward a Top 20 reputation is to be a member of the UK Alumni Association. A recent article about President Todd in the New York Times lauded the “scope of Dr. Todd's ambitions” and the momentum created by the Top 20 Business Plan for the university. Join us! Get more information online at www.ukalummi.net or call 859-257-8905 or 1-800-269-ALUM. ere’s a place for you still at your University of Kentucky. The Welcome Back picnic has become a tradition that brings students to the King Alumni House their first week on campus.

See Blue Tour Coming Soon During the summer of 2005, we boarded a bus and took Kentucky’s flagship univer- sity on a 22-city, 1,600 mile trek across the Commonwealth. e Dream Tour provided us an opportunity to re-engage with people across the state, opening up communication lines and finding out how we could better serve the people of Kentucky. One of the highlights of the tour was having the opportunity to spend time with alumni and prospective students across the state. I loved having the opportunity to share stories and listen to experiences of the people that helped make UK the place it is today. is fall, we are again embarking on a statewide expedition. Called the See Blue Tour, the trek will allow us to tell the university’s story of excellence in education, research, and service. e tour also will allow the university to unveil its new See Blue marketing campaign. e campaign will show how UK alumni are transforming the communities in which they live. We will show how our faculty and staff are reaching out across Kentucky to positively impact education, health care, and the economy. And we will encourage Ken- tucky’s young people to See Blue in their future, as we collectively realize that educating the next generation of leaders is the key to future success in the Commonwealth. I like to tell students that blue is more than just another color to me and other UK alumni. It is a state of mind — a sense of pride, purpose, and excellence in all that we do. I hope you will be able to join us at one of our stops along the See Blue Tour to help us illustrate that pride. I feel that our alumni across Kentucky, the nation, and the world tell our story the best by showing how a Univer- sity of Kentucky education is changing the world in which we live. I look forward to seeing you this fall.

Vice President for Research, 311 Main Building, 40506-0032, 859/257-5294 August 2007 Research Notes Questions About Your Heart? e UK HealthCare Linda and Jack Gill Heart Institute has a new 24-hour, seven-day-a-week, toll-free phone line dedicated to answering questions about hearts — be it symptoms, medications or questions about a heart-healthy diet or the best heart exercise. e number is 877- 445-5478. While anyone who suspects they are having a heart attack or stroke should call 911 or go to the nearest hospital, experienced registered nurses at the Gill Heart Institute Heart Line can answer a wide range of cardiac questions. While a diagnosis cannot be made over the phone, if callers wish to see a doctor to have their symptoms checked or to be screened for heart disease, they can directly schedule an appointment with a physician at UK or near their hometown in many cases.

New Insight To Cause Of Lou Gehrig’s Disease UK researchers have discovered a new cellular mechanism that may better explain what causes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. ALS is characterized by the death of neurons that control voluntary muscles, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy. Around 25 percent of the familial forms of the disease have been linked to the mutation in the gene that makes superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1). In the Journal of Biological Chemistry, UK molecular and cellular biochemistry assistant professor Haining Zhu reports on how mu- tations in the gene that makes SOD1 slows down the intracellular transport of molecules in neurons. e results of the study by Zhu and his colleagues show that the defective transport of molecules is probably due to the aberrant in- teraction between the disease-causing SOD1 mutants and a motor complex that is essential to the intracellular transport in neurons. is provides new insight into ways to prevent or slow ALS.

Professor’s Play On Stage In Europe Last July, Nancy Jones, chairwoman of the UK Department of eatre, traveled overseas to present her play “Molière’s Women” in Paris, France. e production, with a cast of students from UK, was presented at the FIAP Jean Monnet Cultural Center and at the Fih International Conference on New Directions in the Hu- manities at American University in Paris. The play describes the life of the great French dramatist Jean- Baptiste Poquelin, more often known by his stage name Molière. The play reveals the struggles, joys and heartbreaks that result from connections to the creative genius. Jones uses performances by four women to tell the story through text, movement and the music of Jean-Baptiste de Lully, incorporating both the French and English languages. “Molière’s Women” will tour Kentucky this fall beginning in The UK cast of“Molière’s Women”includes, left to right, Casey October.

He and a group of 16 culinary profes- sionals start with approximately 200 ideas a year. Extensive product development and consumer testing takes place in small focus groups (complete with two-way mirrors) and in restaurants. Special internal teams evaluate and continually refine the product until the pricing and promotion phases are reached. At the end, only a small number of dishes actually find their way onto the restaurant menu. Since the chain serves about one million people a day, Hankins and his team are never really finished. “You’re always work- ing on making yourself better or adding new things. And when you get to the point that you’re going to put new food out there, you better make sure it’s right.” Kurt Hankins, center, poses with his team of Applebee’s chefs.

As the only photographer permitted at the hearing, Ballard had a job to do — capture a pivotal moment in history. “My biggest fear was making sure I nailed the focus as he walked through the door for a split second. is was the ultimate perp-walk,”Ballard says when asked about the pressure she felt that day. en, the moment arrived. Ballard snapped the first and only shot of Saddam Hussein’s entrance to the history-making event.

Later, she found guidance as a journalism student at UK. “Steve Dozier in the School of Journal- ism, Dennis “Bones” Carpenter and the late Bob May in the Art Department taught me the history of photography as well as the basics,” she recalls.

“ey became mentors and friends and have greatly influenced my vision and life in photography,” she says. Ballard’s vision is reflected in the range of her abilities. For more than a decade, she has routinely juggled an impressive and diverse workload ranging from political as- signments, to travel essays, to individual portraits of celebrities and political figures. Balancing such varied photo assignments requires varied approaches to the work. “My ‘mode’ has to do with the kind of assignment I’m pursuing,” Ballard explains of her work process. “Like Commander Tommy Franks land- ing in Baghdad one week aer the country fell to coalition forces,”she says, “e ques- tion is what picture is going to represent this historic moment?

Icy be program would work. is a “poster child” example of exactly how you envisioned the Lega Just like the UK theme line says, it’s been a journey of dreams, challenges, and success. Here is our story. In making the move I remember how you said that part of your vision in establishing the Legacy Scholarship was to not only bring the children of alumni back to Kentucky, but to also possibly bring alumni themselves back to the state; alumni, who in many cases — in- cluding mine — had had to move out of state to pursue career opportunities. Your plan worked to perfection in our case. e Legacy Scholarship not only attracted our daughter to UK, but in turn helped entice me and my wife to move back to Lexington, bringing a business with us that is providing services, paying taxes, and employing people — all good things for the state of Kentucky. Since UK and the state of Kentucky have been so good to us, we are glad to be back. What’s more, Bridget and her potential fiancée (a stu- dent at the University of Georgia) are talking of living here aer graduation, possibly at- tending grad school at UK. (Editor’s note: He’s a ‘real’ fiancée now with talk of wedding plans for December 2007.) at in turn also is prompting our other daughter, Ginger, and her husband to consider moving back to Lexington om Florida. at’s an entire ex- tended family and a business all relocated back to Kentucky and it all stems om the Legacy Scholarship. On behalf of our entire family, I want to sincerely thank you, Dr. Todd, for your vision and generosity in establishing the Legacy Scholarship.

From SGA president to Lexington Mayor— Jim Newberry is still saying “We can do better!”

Back in l978, when Jim Newberry was a senior at UK, he was elected Student Government president—partly because he convinced the campus electorate that ‘we can do better.’ That simple but compelling phrase has resonated across Newberry’s entire career as well as within his personal life, and it was a major element of his successful campaign to become Lexington’s 6th Mayor since the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government was formed.

After his graduation from UK’s College of Law, Jim practiced law, was Vice President at Brereton and Libby Jones' Airdrie Stud Farm, served the Commonwealth during Jones’ tenure as Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and then returned to private law practice. Prior to receiving an overwhelming mandate to lead the City of Lexington to ‘do better' as its Mayor, Jim was a partner in the Wyatt,Tarrant & Combs law firm.

He is committed to strengthening the ‘town and gown’ alliances between the City and UK F because, he explained,“if our City is going to build on our remarkable quality of life, we must have a more vibrant economy, and for that to happen, One of Lexington’s top priorities has to be helping UK achieve its primary goal, to become a Top 20 research institution.” And as he articulates this goal, one gets the distinct impression that he’ll be a driving force from the City’s perspective in propelling UK’s ‘dream/challenge/succeed’ mantra into becoming a reality. Candidly, Newberry comments that he believes that over the past 2 decades, Lexington has “not been perceived as being very eager to attract new businesses,” and that “we must reverse that notion, period.” His administration plans to work with both Commerce Lexington and UK’s new economic development team to attract business that will provide strong employment opportunities for generations to come “so our kids and grandkids will be able to stay here and enjoy all that Lexington will then be able to offer.” Then, with his characteristic smile, he adds,“Did you know that we’ve been ranked as the 48th best city in the world for our quality of life? In the world, mind you, not just in the USA! But, you know what? We can do better—I know we can, and we will.”

“We can do better—I know we can, and we will.” –Jim Newberry

Newberry’s mayoral campaign centered around enhancing 3 key local industries: horses, healthcare, and high-tech. Of these, he singles out high tech as being “our biggest opportunity” and notes that UK is key to any successes Lexington may have in the future to build its high tech industry portfolio—complete with high paying jobs. Mentioning that Boulder, Colorado, is home to seven Federal research labs, he adds that UK, already a generator and incubator of intellectual property start-ups, will be our future magnet to bring similar research facilities and jobs here. And, he adds,“at the same time, UK’s excellent equine diagnostics capabilities and study programs perfectly reinforce our ‘horse capital of the world’ designation, and our Medical Center continues to turn out exceptionally fine doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, providing excellent opportunities for this entire area’s growing health care industry to hire the best and brightest and to keep them right here at home.”

Visionary/realist, dreamer/doer, all fit Jim Newberry, a UK grad whose leadership capabilities surfaced while he was a student and have been finely honed ever since. If you’re a UK alum who is even thinking about returning to Central Kentucky—now would be an excellent time to photo: Paul Atkinson put that plan in motion because together, Jim Newberry’s administration, Commerce Lexington, and your alma mater are going to be one sweet team!
