Emptying the nest

Parents cope with separation after students fly the coup for college

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT A student’s first semester away from home can be both an exhilarating and stressful experience for all parties involved.

Parents preparing to send their children to the UA have to figure out how to stay connected with their newly independent children.

“Every fall semester we see a lot of students at CAPS (Counseling and Psychological Services) who are having a hard time adjusting,” said Glenn Matchett-Morris, assistant director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Campus Health Service.

Matchett-Morris said students can face many challenges, ranging from being away from home for the first time, to being independent, to missing old friends and feeling like they don’t fit in.

“Typically, it is that first semester that is the most difficult and requires the most adjustment,” Matchett-Morris said.

Parents’ adjustment to the change can be as

varied as their children’s.

In some cases, the parents have prepared themselves and their children to be independent so the change is easier, according to Matchett-Morris.

“Some go through quite a period of anxiety and worry. Some have a hard time letting go and try to micromanage from afar. And some, particularly if this is their only child or the last one out of the house, experience what is commonly called ‘empty nest syndrome,’ where it might take time for them to adjust and recreate a new life for themselves once the parents are all alone,” Matchett-Morris said.

For UA president Robert Shelton, each experience was unique.

Shelton said that his three children all happened to choose Stanford, his alma mater, which was about a two-hour drive from his home .

“That was ideal in many ways. They could SEPARATION, page 3 Tim Glass/Arizona Summer Wildcat

Commentary

Stimulus milestone leaves future uncertain

O

ne of the most important dates of the year for current and prospective UA students recently passed with little to no fanfare. Truly, such a momentous occasion is cause for recognition and celebration. That being said, congratulations, University of Arizona, on receiving your 100 millionth stimulus dollar.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), otherwise known as a socialist-pariah agenda that may have spared the United States from further economic collapse (what would the Founding Fathers think?), is Luke Money responsible for the creation and maintenance of over 150 Opinions editor full-time university jobs last fiscal quarter, according to the UA’s ARRA Research Awards Summary. The same summary shows that the UA has received funds for 153 various projects, and has been granted the means to incentivize dozens of graduate students to remain at the UA when they otherwise might have left for greener pastures.

There’s no wonder why this momentous occasion passed so many unaware: no one cares. The stimulus is ancient history by now, lost amidst the release of several new vampire-dominated forms of media and recent fanfare for that big soccer thing people keep going on about. But you can bet that in a few months’ time anyone who chooses to follow UA politics will be so inundated with talk of the stimulus that it will make the hoopla over Proposition 100 look like the cursory greeting you give a cab driver.

OPINION, page 5

ASUA President Emily Fritze emphasizes representative role

By Rebecca Rillos ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT This summer has been busy for newly inducted Associated Students of the University of Arizona President Emily Fritze. Fritze, a political science senior, shared her plans for the 2010-2011 academic year with the Arizona Summer Wildcat.

Wildcat: What are your major plans for ASUA this year?

Fritze: I have a lot of different goals, which mainly cover individual projects and providing advocacy for students.

We at ASUA plan to do a lot of outreach this year. We really want to try to get our name out there, let students know we are available to them, and be transparent about our goals and plans.

I want to encourage students to get involved and be communicators. My cabinet and I plan to visit clubs and dorms and maintain constant communication with students.

I’d also like to create a student blog that shows what I, as president, do on a day-to-day process.

Wildcat: Are there any specific issues you hope to address?

Fritze: We will be of course examining tuition, specifically program fees, and then seek(ing) out the best student opinion. With the program fees, we will see what kind of student input has been consulted and expand on that.

Wildcat: Besides tuition, are there any pressing issues you feel are

necessary to focus on?

Fritze: We have ongoing issues every year that people in my position have to address — campus life, enrollment, quality of education, access to resources.

There are so many different issues for students and the opinion always depends on whom you talk to, so I think we will examine those issues individually as they arrive and try to find the best solution.

We are approaching a huge voting season in the 2010 elections. Therefore, we will be very active with that. Not only to register and motivate students to vote, but I also hope to bring some events to campus that will get students engaged and involved, such as on-campus debates.

These events are not specifically confirmed yet, but the election will definitely be a large part of our fall semester

duties.

Wildcat: Were you involved at all at orientation?

Fritze: We did a lot for orientation.

ASUA had a presentation at every orientation session on how to get involved and the resources that are on campus for the students. We had a booth and we were out there every day trying to get the word out about ASUA and how to get involved on campus.

Wildcat: Have you had any preemptive meetings last semester or over the summer?

Fritze: I’ve had meetings with a lot of administrators, faculty members and even some regents as early as April.

The meetings were mainly to talk about plans, ask for advice and make the necessary introductions so that once everything starts up in the fall, I have different resources around campus.

Wildcat: What can you say of your ASUA cabinet and fellow members?

Fritze: I’ve been in contact with a lot of my cabinet members — some are in the office. We will be working on the projects for the beginning of the year so they’ll be ready to go. I feel very confident about my cabinet. They are a very passionate group.

ASUA will be a very strong voice for students and our main goal is to be advocators for the student body on all issues.

When presented with an issue, we will research and analyze everything to come up with educated solutions and opinions as a student body.

Simulation of Titan’s atmosphere provides clues to origins of life

By Eli MacKinnon ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Life on other planets? Maybe. Brown, gunky stuff on other planets? Yes. A UA research team has discovered that bombarding a nitrogen-rich gas mixture, designed to mimic the atmosphere of Saturn’s moon, Titan, with high-energy ultraviolet radiation can produce the nitrogenated organic compounds that are thought to be life’s first ingredients.

Titan’s atmosphere is of special interest to scientists because aside from Earth, it is the only known planetary-sized body with a substantial amount of nitrogen in its atmosphere.

As such, it provides an elucidating model of the chemical conditions of ancient Earth.

The new research is the first experimental evidence of how high-energy UV radiation, an abundant resource in the upper atmospheres of Earth and Titan, can induce complex organic compounds to combine with nitrogen, a necessary ingredient of life. The process through which organic compounds were first coaxed into incorporating nitrogen has been a persistent mystery to scientists investigating the origin of life.

In order to simulate the high-energy photons that bombard Titan’s upper atmosphere in the form of sunlight, the UA research team used the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence

Berkeley National Laboratory’s synchrotron particle accelerator.

“What’s unique in our experiment is the use of very high-energy photons to break the nitrogen molecule. The nitrogen molecule is very stable so the radiation has to be very energetic to break it,” said Hiroshi Imanaka, who was a member of the UA’s chemistry and biochemistry department at the time of the experiment and is now an assistant research scientist in the UA’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory.

Imanaka conducted the experiment in Berkley, Calif., with the help of Mark Smith, a UA professor of chemistry and lunar and planetary sciences. They used the synchrotron to send a beam of accelerated photons into a stainless steel cylinder containing a mixture of nitrogen and methane gases meant to resemble the chemical makeup of Titan’s atmosphere.

The energetic photons are necessary to jumpstart the formation of nitrogenated organic compounds because they break down the nitrogen molecules into a simpler, more reactive form.

“High-energy photons, like the ones we used, are actually a natural energy source in Titan’s upper atmosphere because they arrive in the sunlight,” said Imanaka. “After those high-energy photons break down the nitrogen molecules, the dissociated nitrogen is free to participate in the formation of

complex organic compounds.”

After bombarding the contents of the cylinder with the photons, Imanaka initially had trouble locating any nitrogenated compounds.

He analyzed the gaseous contents of the cylinder using a mass spectrometer and detected no nitrogen. However, when he analyzed the pieces of brown, gunky material that had collected on the walls of the cylinder, he found the nitrogen he was looking for.

While Imanaka is careful to explain that he and Smith have not succeeded in “making life” or proving that there is life on Titan, he admits that there are likely nitrogenated compounds similar to the ones that they produced in the lab scattered on Titan’s surface. The compounds fall to the surface after they are created in the atmosphere.

“There are going to be nitrogenated organic compounds that have accumulated on Titan’s surface over time, and they give the minimum condition for the eventual evolution of life,” Imanaka said.

Imanaka said there are space missions in the planning stages that could give scientists the chance to study Titan’s atmosphere up close. His research will help to inform the observational objectives of the missions and the development of the instruments that will allow scientists to effectively study Titan’s atmosphere from space.

Gov’t sues to throw out AZ immigration law THE ASSOCIATED PRESS PHOENIX — The Obama administration sued Arizona on Tuesday to throw out the state’s toughest-in-the-nation immigration law and keep other states from copying it.

The lawsuit filed in federal court in Phoenix said the law, due to take effect July 29, usurps the federal government’s “pre-eminent authority” under the Constitution to regulate immigration.

The move sets the stage for a high-stakes legal clash over states’ rights at a time when politicians in some other states have indicated they want to follow Arizona’s lead.

The legal action represents a stern denunciation of the law, which the Justice Department declared will “cause the detention and harassment of authorized visitors, immigrants and citizens who do not have or carry identification documents” while ignoring “humanitarian concerns” and harming diplomatic relations.

Supporters of the law said the lawsuit was

unnecessary and blamed the federal government for neglecting problems at the border for years. Republican Gov. Jan Brewer called the complaint“a terribly bad decision”and defended the law as “reasonable and constitutional.”

Arizona passed the measure after years of frustration with illegal immigration, including drug trafficking, kidnappings and murders. The state is the biggest gateway into the U.S. for illegal immigration, and it’s home to an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants.

The law requires police, while enforcing other laws, to question a person’s immigration status if there’s reasonable suspicion that the person is in the country illegally. It also requires legal immigrants to carry their immigration documents and bans day laborers and people who seek their services from blocking traffic on streets.

Other states have said they want to take similar action — a scenario the government cited as a reason for bringing the lawsuit.

“The Constitution and the federal immigration laws do not permit the development of a patchwork of state and local immigration policies throughout the country,” the suit says.

The heart of the legal arguments focus on the Constitution’s assertion that federal laws override state laws. The lawsuit says that comprehensive federal laws already on the books cover illegal immigration — and that those statutes take precedent.

The next step is for the case to be assigned a judge, who will decide whether to grant a preliminary injunction to temporarily block the law from taking effect.

Brewer predicted that the law would survive the federal challenge as well as pending suits previously filed by private groups and individuals.

“As a direct result of failed and inconsistent federal enforcement, Arizona is under attack from violent Mexican drug and immigrant smuggling cartels. Now, Arizona is under atIMMIGRATION, page 9

Reusable bags may be health hazards

By Julia Etters ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT While reusable grocery bags are great for the environment, the potential health risks of not washing them can be hazardous. A recent study done by the UA and Loma Linda University revealed that 97 percent of consumers do not wash their bags regularly.

Charles Gerba, a UA professor soil, water and environmental science and principal investigator for the project, said a good way to contaminate your food is by putting raw meat products and vegetables in a bag together. The germs might be destroyed when cooking the meat, but those vegetables still carry the bacteria.

“Hardly anyone ever washes those bags.

They are the least-washed item in the house,” Gerba said.

Regional development junior Eric Mooney was surprised at this study’s results.

“I think that’s pretty gross that people don’t think about that. I would think you would definitely want to wash it out,” Mooney said.

Chemistry sophomore Jorge Cuellar attested to the lack of cleanliness. Cuellar, an Albertson’s employee, finds all sorts of things in customers’ bags.

“It’s extremely horrid. I find leaves and random stuff,” Cuellar said.

Cuellar said he is pretty meticulous when it comes to bagging and tries to separate items that may spread germs.

Interdisciplinary studies senior Heather Serrano is not concerned about bacteria risks.

“I think antibodies are good. Americans are a little germophobic,” Serrano said.

The best place for bacteria is a hot and humid environment, according to Gerba.

“A car trunk in Arizona is like an incubator,” he said.

The study involved climates other than Arizona, as Gerba and students researched San Francisco and Los Angeles, as well.

Turning ideas into big bucks UA ranked 21st nationally in patent expenditure

By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT When thinking of the UA, certain words come to mind, like Mars and basketball. UA professors are working to add another word to that list — patents.

As of 2009, the UA has 107 U.S. patents or patent applications, ranging from protein kinase inhibitors, to a new silicone refining process, to new cancer treatments.

Through patenting inventions and ideas, faculty, staff and students are able to secure the financial right to their invention’s use or production.

The UA is 21st in the nation with expenditures for patents, having spent nearly half a million dollars in the patent process over the last several years. On average, patenting of one machine or process can cost between $20,000 and $50,000, which the UA will cover if the invention seems like a winner.

Many people on campus are unaware that the UA is nationally ranked for patents.

“A lot of people really don’t know about it,” said Amy Phillips, a technology transfer license specialist in the college of optical sciences.“We’re trying to make sure the faculty members know about it.”

Raina Maier, a professor in the department of soil, water and environmental science, is one of the faculty members who knew where to go for her patent.

“I don’t think faculty know much about it but we really went after (the patent),”Maier said. She, along with Michael Stanghellini, a UA professor emeritus who teaches in California and three then-students, patented a biosurfactant that can be used in pesticides in 1998, after starting the patent process two years earlier.

“I haven’t gotten rich off of the patent,” said Maier, who licensed the use of her invention to the Jeneil Biosurfactants Co. in 2004.“But it’s kind of neat to have it.”

Maier noted her work on U.S. patent 5,767,090 still hasn’t stopped and through a $3.3 million National Science Foundation grant in partnership with the UA chemistry department, there might be even more patentable results dealing with biosurfactants.

“It was quite an experience and I’d definitely

bacteria in Los Angeles and San Francisco compared to Tucson, probably a result of the drier climate here.

“We had some lab members go to pick up the bags and the next day we processed as soon as possible, so that any bacteria in the bags wouldn’t die off. So we knew exactly what was in there,” said Williams.

In order to obtain contaminated bags for research, students stood outside grocery stores offering new bags in exchange for customers’ old ones. After collecting the bag, they would ask a series of questions on how customers used and stored their bags.

“The first part I think was the most interesting part, based on customers’ answers,” said Williams, referring to the high number of consumers who do not wash their bags after use.

According to Gerba, one of the main interests in doing this study arose from the potential California legislation to ban plastic bags. If the law is passed, Gerba feels that it would be best to have “Please wash after using for groceries” written on the bags.

Polypropylene reusable bags pose a challenge over their canvas counterparts, as their material may not be as washing machine friendly.

“Handwashing is the downside,” Gerba said of these types of bags.

He recommends purchasing canvas bags that are easy to throw in the wash after use but noted it’s impossible to completely avoid bacteria.

“You’re always gambling with germs.

You get the wrong situation with the wrong kind of E. coli, and you get pretty sick,” Gerba said.

do it again,”Maier said.

Phillips, who has worked with many professors on patents, noted that Maier’s experience with long hours and several tries before approval is common.

After the passage of the Bayh-Dole Act in 1980, which allowed for non-profit companies and universities to patent inventions, the process of patenting has given both colleges and professors a way to get returns on millions spent in research.

Phillips had two pieces of advice for those wanting to patent inventions through the UA: Go to the Office of Technology Transfer website and fill out an invention disclosure form and be careful with publications of research, because once it’s publicized, it’s nearly impossible to patent.

“Patenting is very exacting work,”Phillips said.

“It’s very unusual for it to be easy but if somebody’s got an idea, they should write down everything in regards to it (to see if they can get it patented).”

For those who went through that process, it seems that the payoff is big — not everyone has

got a U.S. patent.

“To see simple research turn into something people are using every day is really exciting,”said Maier of her work with biosurfactants, now licensed to be sold in pesticides in New York.“It’s a great feeling.”

Patenting at the UA: • Come up with something novel and new.

• Fill out an invention disclosure form.

• Get it approved by the UA Office of Technology Transfer.

• Write up the patent application.

• Submit it for review.

• Re-submit if the patent is not approved, which it usually is not on the first application.

• Receive a U.S. patent that then can be licensed.

• Receive royalties after the UA recoups its upfront expenditures for the patent process.

come home for the holidays and breaks between terms, but they were independent and had to do their own laundry,” Shelton said.

The short distance allowed his children to visit the university and gain a sense of familiarity prior to attending it.

Shelton said each of his children met different challenges, but when they came home after their first term, they were all exhausted from studying for finals.

“Regarding preparation, I think that fundamentally the preparation has been coming for 18 years — in the home, by the parents and neighbors and friends and extended family,” Shelton said.

Shelton said he thinks parents and students have a big advantage today with all of the technology available.

“My advice to parents is that you know your child better than anyone else. You can have confidence in their judgment. You can be there for them when questions arise and while the questions may be more complex than during their earlier youth, just being available is the key,” Shelton said.

Ted Glazer, a Maryland resident and parent of an incoming UA freshman, is also planning on being available and making use of technology to bridge the gap between Arizona and Maryland.

“We are going to Skype a lot,” Glazer said.

Parent Mark Johnson said he didn’t think it would be too bad because he had already experienced a child go through college and is only about a six-hour drive from the UA. “I think if they’ve been accepted to the University of Arizona they are going to be well prepared,” Johnson said.

Johnson also said it was important to always be available and he recommended staying in touch at least once a week.

When Johnson’s daughter started college, the family set up Sunday afternoons as the time to call and check in.

“And of course today you can text, but I try not to do that. I let them do it,” Johnson said.

UA must be upfront about financial future

By talk, of course, I mean a question. What happens when the stimulus money dries up?

As it stands, UA students and faculty may be perfectly content to bask in these latest riches and the benefits they bring. But administrators are already looking at the bleak prospect of these funds drying up, a prospect that will become even bleaker when the recently passed Proposition 100 expires in 2013. Will legislators leave the UA alone to attempt an increasingly challenging financial tightrope walk?

Without the $50 million a year (so far) from ARRA or the projected millions from Proposition 100, what will there be to staunch the fiscal bleeding? How will the UA remain true to its mission as a top-tier research institution if it can’t maintain the standards it is establishing during these years of institutional aid?

UA students now have 100 million reasons to care about stimulus spending, but they probably care far more about the recent announcement that Middle Barry Goldwater State Institute A&M is joining the Heretofore-Unnamed-12.

Students deserve a frank proposal and assessment of what will happen to the university in years to come. Prospective and current students should be warned of possible program and scholarship cuts, made privy to potentially crippling cuts to their college of choice lest halfway through their degree

Administrators have a few more years to hammer out these trifles, but when they get

around to it they should make sure they do it in a way that involves the students in the process. After all, no amount of secrecy is going to cover up all of that red ink.

POLICEBEAT Man pees on cop car with both hands tied behind his back On June 27 at 3:16 a.m., a University of Arizona Police Department officer initiated a traffic stop at the corner of North Cherry Avenue and East Speedway Boulevard after observing an SUV make an illegal turn.

Upon approaching the driver of the vehicle, he saw three more passengers in the car and noticed the strong odor of an intoxicant coming from inside the vehicle. He also saw two open cans of Four Loko Watermelon Flavored Premium Malt Beverage in the cup holders of the center console.

The driver informed the officer that he was a designated driver and that he and his friends were “just driving around the area trying to find some girls.”All four passengers were identified via their Air Force identification cards.

The officer administered Breathalyzer tests to the four men. The driver showed no signs of an intoxicant in his system, but the other passengers all tested positive after initially denying any alcohol consumption — one explaining that he had lied because he feared being discharged from the Air Force for underage drinking.

One passenger who had been verbally aggressive to the officer was handcuffed before the administration of the Breathalyzer test. Later, when he was escorted to the side of the patrol car for transportation, and while he was notably handcuffed with his hands behind his back, he managed to reach a hand around, pull his pants down and urinate on the patrol vehicle.

The driver and one passenger were cited for open container and underage consumption violations, respectively, and released at the scene.The other two passengers, including the Harry Houdini of peeing on cop cars, were transported to the Pima County Jail, but the waterworks were not yet over. In a heroic flourish of fluid-based protest, demonstrating an impressive capacity of bladder and will, Houdini proceeded to urinate a second time, this time against the wall of the processing area of the county jail. The matter was brought to the attention of the jail staff.

On June 28 at 2:51 a.m., a UAPD officer was stopped at the intersection of North Cherry Avenue and East Speedway Boulevard when he observed two vehicles: a red Honda and a white Honda, traveling side-by-side at an excessive speed — estimated to be 70 mph in the 35 mph zone.

The officer pursued the cars and watched while they turned rapidly down North Mountain Avenue, in what he believed was an attempt to avoid police contact. When he followed them, he observed the red Honda turn west onto East Second Street, while the white Honda turned east onto East Second Street.

He pursued and stopped the white Honda while he radioed the description of the red Honda to another officer in the area, who successfully apprehended the vehicle. Under questioning, the driver of the vehicle explained that he had been racing the other car because they had “the same style cars.” He explained that he didn’t know the driver of the rival Honda and no words had ever been exchanged between them. Their unspoken struggle had begun when they fatefully stopped to refuel at the same Circle K, where they were then forced to confront an unpleasant threat to their own individuality in the form of another man’s Honda, in what was likely an intensely emotional encounter.

The driver of the red Honda corroborated the story of the anonymous altercation and both drivers were cited and released

at the scene.

On June 29 at 4:34 a.m., a UAPD officer on bike patrol in the area of Fourth Street and Park Avenue noticed a man climbing over a gate that leads to the underground tunnels on the west side of the Anthropology building. He appeared to be pulling up his shorts.

The officer made contact with the man at the southwest corner of the Anthropology building and identified him.

When asked what he was doing in the tunnels, the man explained that he needed to“find somewhere dark so I could take a leak.”The officer eyed him knowingly and asked if that was really all he did. The man, understanding that the jig was up, admitted that he also“took a dump.”

The officer then walked over to the entrance of the tunnel where he saw“human fecus,”which“appeared to be fresh.”

Now that everything was out in the open, the man felt comfortable explaining that he had merely been walking through campus when he was suddenly taken short. He was cited for criminal littering and warned not to return to campus unless he had a legitimate reason.

UA Ground Maintenance responded to remove the waste but the abashed man insisted on cleaning it up himself, which he did.

Later in the day, a UAPD officer responded to a report of a young man loitering in the men’s locker room in Bear Down Gym. He was allegedly sitting fully clothed in the corner of the shower room with the shower running. When the officer arrived, the male hesitantly explained that he had been using the shower in order to avoid going home smelling of alcohol. The officer recognized him as the man from the earlier encounter. When asked if he had had previous contact with the police that day and what he had been cited for, the man stated that he couldn’t remember. He was cited with Second Degree Trespass and sent on his way.

bit as unlikeable as Bella and Jacob (Taylor Lautner), a man whose defining characteristic is his constant state of shirtlessness. Oh, he’s also a werewolf.

The overarching story is that Bella is attractive and Jacob and Edward both very much wish to revel in her general attractiveness, thus we get the major conflict of the film which comes by virtue of a never-ending pissing match as the two attempt to out-strut one another.

The biggest issue, however, is that the

‘Pluto,’ ‘Androids’ are introspective looks into science and life

By Steven Kwan ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

As researchers explore the possibilities of augmented reality technology, social media, and cloud computing, robotics holds an enduring place in science. The latest New York Times Magazine profiles IBM’s Watson, a “question answering system” designed to tackle questions on Jeopardy. It is the company’s successor to Deep Blue, the 1997 supercomputer that defeated chess grandmaster and thenworld champion Gary Kasparov.

Imagine a world and time in which robots are advanced enough to not only answer trivia questions and compete with chess grandmasters, but also experience emotions and desires. And when housed in a humanlike form, what’s to distinguish them from human beings? What kind of world would it be if robots and humans coexisted?

Two comic book series examine these questions, but from different angles.

“Pluto” by Naoki Urasawa reinterprets a classic “Astro Boy” tale by Osamu Tezuka, a man who has been called the “godfather of manga.”The series, which completed its English publication this March, was commissioned for the original birthday of Tezuka’s beloved creation, Astro Boy, or Atom, as he’s called in Japan and in the story.

“Got any A1, Bella?” “No, why?” “Oh, no reason.”

More an adaptation than a reinterpretation, Boom! Studios visualizes the world of Philip K. Dick’s famous story “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” using the original text and dialogue.

Both stories feature flawed protagonists working for law enforcement while hunting down robots that have broken the law.

Urasawa’s German robot detective, Gesicht, and Dick’s human bounty hunter, Rick Deckard, exist in a world where robots and humans live and work together, albeit somewhat uneasily.

Urasawa and Dick’s robots are indistinguishable from humans, except in a few important ways. When Gesicht first meets Atom, the child robot seems genuinely excited to see another child playing with a toy UFO and wants his own. Gesicht’s analytical software goes haywire trying to determine whether Atom is faking his emotion. Deckard asks provocative, hypothetical questions and uses a machine to measure the subject’s physical reactions.

He meets and works with a fellow bounty hunter, who is passionate about hunting down robots and is unaware that he himself is a robot.

Both the authors point to emotion and empathy as the distinguishing features of humans, and suggest that we should be wary of imbuing, or programming, these qualities into robots. In “Pluto,” the seven robots experience and display many human emotions: joy, compassion, love, pride and doubt. But it is the introduction of hatred that leads to the murder of the robots, and potentially the destruction of humankind. In “Androids,” the robots fake it as best they can and are willing to do anything they can to escape their solitary corporate enslavement.

Despite their dark visions, Urasawa and Dick are ultimately optimistic about the future. The robot murderer in “Pluto” redeems himself in the end, and Deckard reaches a realization about life in whatever form it may take. Once our machines reflect our virtues and sins, perhaps they can help us become better humans.

'Pill Head' paints ugly truth

By Joe Dusbabek ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Joshua Lyon has got to be among the most frank journalists in the world. In his new book, “Pill Head,” Lyon gives an honest first-person account of what it’s like to be addicted to prescription drugs, and it hits hard in a way Valium and Xanax never would.

A journalist who has written for publications like Interview and V Life, Lyon had a lot to lose when he was given an assignment to explore exactly how people receive those offers for “easy” prescription drugs that so many people are familiar with from the spam folders within email accounts. After Lyon decided to take the pills he received instead of ditching them, his life spiraled downward in a fashion that would scare even the most hardened soul.

The most compelling aspect of Lyon’s book isn’t the stories from his time on drugs or his almost-encyclopedic knowledge of the medical risks and rewards of each pill. Those things have been covered before in many other books. What makes “Pill Head” stand out is the remarkable way Lyon portrays the loss of his former life, his intelligence and his soul while on drugs. With a cold, clinical voice, he shows the reader exactly how an addiction will wreck anything that one

ever thought one cared about in life (and things one never knew they did).

From his run-ins with the HIV virus, to his indulgences in “harder” drugs, to the manner in which he loses many aspects of his humanity, Lyon paints a stark picture of exactly how much any drug user has to lose. And unlikely though it is, the portrayal of this is what pushes “Pill Head” above the rest of the pack.

3Oh!3 paves Streets of Gold

By Emily Moore ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

After a “Chokechain” or two and being “Starstrukk” with Katy Perry, 3Oh!3 is “Still Around” and ready to throw a “House Party.”

Released June 29, 3Oh!3’s second album, Streets of Gold, shows that Nathaniel Mott and Sean Foreman are maturing in their musical style while remaining pleasing to the ears. Despite the fact that the album doesn’t have the band’s old-school flair and less-mainstream sound, it still carries on the same dance party vibe.

Streets of Gold still has all the clever lyrical bells and whistles fans have come to expect while also featuring infectious choruses that highlight the duo’s singing abilities. They show they’re more than just rappers. Throughout the 14 tracks, you’ll find yourself wanting to hit the repeat button.

There really isn’t a bad song on the album, minus the Ke$ha collaboration “My First Kiss.”

From the corny smacking sounds to the random Ke$ha parts, this song has lame written all over it. Although the cooing is slightly on the catchy side, the rest of it just seems like a Top 40 ploy. The only reason it’s their current single is because of Ke$ha, sadly.

The lyrics of “House Party” make the song comical. They’re overly simplistic and the song is infectious because of it. It’s difficult to tell whether the song is just plain annoying or if it’s hilarious because it’s so simple — either way, it’s

The opening scene of “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” shows an unnamed man running from an unidentified entity in an unknown location. Eventually, the man is knocked to the ground and screams as he is assailed off-screen. After sitting through the entirety of this film, I can safely say that I identify closely with this man. Above all else I wished I could run away, though like him, it was far too late for me to escape.

Let me put it another way. Let’s say I picked up a chair and set it down in front of a blank white wall, pulled a $10 bill out of my wallet and ate it. I could then spend the next two hours slowly digesting my monetary meal and it would be both more enjoyable and a better use of money than going to see “Eclipse.”

This latest installment of the popular-forwhatever-reason book-turned-film series sees the protagonist, Bella Swan (aptly portrayed by a cardboard cutout of Kristen Stewart), walk around aimlessly doing her best Debbie Downer impersonation. Her centenarian carnivore crush Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson, in the role that will sadly earn him future film roles) joins her. Not coincidentally, he’s every

tion which Stewart wins wholeheartedly.

Halfway through the movie I fantasized wrapping her in a garbage bag, just so I could amuse myself watching her try to act her way out of it.

Another thing I didn’t get about this movie: the whole Edward-Jacob debate. Literally, the entire movie is various people testifying that Bella shouldn’t be a vampire because of how much it sucks (pun intended) and yet she refuses to listen to reason because Edward is “all that matters.”

Yeah, her boyfriend is all that matters. Not her parents or her friends, not her future collegiate career, but some guy she met a few years ago. That’s a swell message to send to little girls. I haven’t seen a more backwards moral since “The Little Mermaid” told women they should be willing to give up their entire lives for the first tall drink of water that happens to saunter by.

While“Eclipse”is undoubtedly a touch better than its predecessors in the series, that’s like saying being shot in the arm is better than being shot in the stomach. It’s true, but that doesn’t mean you want to experience either. If you value your time or your money to any degree, you will treat“The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”as you would a natural eclipse: go about your business and let it pass.

pretty funny. Halfway through the song you’ll know all the lyrics, guaranteed.

The more you listen to Streets of Gold, the more it grows on you. The album really shows a new side of 3Oh!3: they’re more than just a group that raps about Helen Keller and not trusting ho’s.

Stoops: 'We want to compete for a championship'

By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Over the last month, the talk surrounding Arizona football has been about conference realignment and off-the-field charges against former Wildcat receiver Delashaun Dean .

Lost in all the drama is a potential Rose Bowl team that has a little less than a month before the start of practice.

The Wildcats, unlike last summer, know who their quarterback will be and appear to be in the running as a Pacific 10 Conference contender. Arizona head coach Mike Stoops said he believes his team has a shot to win the Pac-10 championship.

“As always, we want to compete for a championship. We’ve been on the threshold the last couple years,” Stoops told the Daily Wildcat from his office at McKale Center. “I think we’ve had some successful seasons, but we want to have a significant season.

That will be to win a championship.”

Going into camp on Aug. 5, Stoops is Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat comfortable knowing he has his starting Arizona head coach Mike Stoops looks on during his team’s disappointing 27-0 Holiday Bowl loss to Nebraska quarterback in Nick Foles, unlike a year ago on Dec. 22, 2009 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, Calif. when the job was up for grabs, but he’s also pleased to have backup quarterback Matt quarterbacks that have started,” Stoops said. expecting to run a lot more plays for the Scott back, giving the Wildcats another QB “I think you will see two much more mature junior.

Soccer in Spain

UA students study abroad during World Cup Editor’s note: Valentina Martinelli is a photographer for the Arizona Summer Wildcat studying abroad in Spain.

Alcalá de Henares, just 30 minutes outside of Madrid, is best known as the picturesque hometown of Cervantes, but it is also home to the Universidad de Alcalá.

Here, all exchange students, including myself, live with a host family; students can be placed with the traditional nuclear families, single parents or single people. No matter what type of family you stay with, the food is still the uniting element.

however, many Spaniards believe this may be their year.

While walking from my apartment to the university, all of the apartment buildings I have passed proudly displayed the Spanish flag, in support for their country and team. At the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid — the home stadium of powerhouse soccer team Real Madrid Club de Fútbol — we watched the World Cup soccer games on big screens surrounded by other soccer fanatics.

Here, I was surrounded by people proudly wearing the Spanish colors and even the Spanish flag with chants of“Yo soy español, español, español,”which translates to,“I am Spanish, Spanish, Spanish.”

After Spain’s victory over Paraguay, the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu exploded into cheers, people embraced whomever was standing next to them — stranger or friend — and everyone shared in the sweet taste of victory. On the metro ride home, the train was literally shaking with people jumping up and down, still overcome with the euphoria of victory.

July 7-13, 2010

Dean broke team rules 'that can't be broken'

continued from page 7

“We’re always going to have a package for Matt (Scott) in each game,”Stoops said.“But again, he’s going to run our offense too.

Matt’s a prototypical quarterback that can run. There are a few more plays that we’d like to run with him and we’ll always use those as a change of pace.”

With a three-headed monster at the running back position with senior Nic Grisgby, junior Keola Antolin and sophomore Greg Nwoko, the Wildcats have the talent on the offensive end to compete with any team in the Pac-10.

Some of the concerns for the team won’t be about talent, but how the team will fare after losing offensive coordinator Sonny Dykes and defensive coordinator Mark Stoops, Dykes having left for a head coaching job at Louisiana Tech and Stoops leaving for a coordinator job at Florida State.

But Mike Stoops said the offensive and defensive systems will stay the same under what will be a team of coordinators sharing the offensive and defensive duties.

Bill Bedenbaugh, who enters his fourth season on the coaching staff, will be co-offensive coordinator along with Seth Littrell.

Bedenbaugh, who came to Arizona from Texas Tech along with Dykes, is familiar with the quick strike spread offense that was brought over by Dykes.

The defense will be run by co-defensive coordinators Tim Kish and Greg Brown. Brown comes from the University of Colorado and Kish has been on Stoops’staff since 2004.

Though the voices behind the units have changed, the offensive and defensive units will function pretty much the same.

“The systems have stayed the same, what we emphasize and what we tinker around will change,” Stoops said. “Each coach has individual ideas in what we feel best fits our personnel.”

Stoops expects to do a lot of different things offensively with the talent the team brings back, but admits the defense will have to grow for the team to reach its full potential.

“Defensively we’re just going to have to mature. We have some young guys that will have to mature quickly,”he added.

While the team will have to deal with many coordinator changes, Stoops doesn’t mind that he won’t have to prepare to play teams such as Oklahoma or Texas in the coming years.

“I thought it would have been neat to have 16 teams and the quality of the competition,” he said of almost having five more Big-12 teams join the Pac-10 along with University of Colorado.

“But I wasn’t excited about playing those guys every year.”

Though Utah and Colorado don’t appear to be as strong as Texas and Oklahoma, the seventh-year head coach thinks the schools will help by bringing different markets to the Pac-10.

“I think both universities bring great attributes to our conference,”Stoops said.“Colorado brings a huge TV market and Utah is a very competitive team on the national level. And it strengthens our conference in a football sense.”

Stoops speaks on ex-receiver’s arrest and transfer When Stoops was asked if former Wildcat Delashaun Dean’s decision to transfer after being arrested on gun charges was a mutual decision, the coach simply said the receiver broke rules that can’t be broken.

“There are certain team rules that can’t be broken. It’s stated pretty clearly each year what is expected from them and what they can expect of me,” Stoops said. “When rules are broken, there are consequences that have to be paid. There certainly wasn’t a lot a wiggle room on that charge, it’s just how we feel as a program.”

When asked whether there was a“no gun”policy on the team, Stoops wouldn’t go in depth about team policies.

Dean was expected to be one of the Wildcats’major receivers, but now the team must find someone to fill that role.

“It’ll be a committee deal, we have a lot different guys.

We’ll look at that position,” Stoops said. “It hurts but one player won’t change our style or what we do, we have some depth at the position.”

SPORTS BRIEFS Wise not on summer league rosters When Nic Wise wasn’t taken in the 2010 NBA draft, it was assumed that he would catch on with a summer league team.

But with the Orlando NBA summer league having started on Monday and the Las Vegas summer league starting on Friday, Nic Wise’s name is missing from all of the summer league rosters.

Wise tweeted yesterday that he “Just got jipped out of Summer League wow.”

The summer league gives undrafted players an opportunity to be invited to an NBA training camp or impress overseas scouts, who are usually in attendance.

Wise’s former teammates Jordan Hill and Chase Budinger will play for the Houston Rockets in the Las Vegas summer league.

Former Wildcats Mustafa Shakur and Marcus Williams are expected to play for the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Indiana Pacers, respectively.

UA women’s soccer players to play in FIFA U-20 World Cup Junior Renae Cuellar and freshman Ana Montoya will play in the U-20 FIFA Women’s World Cup. The FIFA U-20 World Cup will be held in Germany starting July 13 and continue through Aug. 1. Cuellar will compete for Mexico and Montoya will compete for Colombia.

Cuellar was the UA team’s leading scorer last year and Montoya is an incoming freshman who will join the team this fall.

A total of 16 teams will compete in the tournament.

Livengood hires former Wildcat Former Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood hired former Wildcat soccer player Jennifer Klein on June 15 as the new soccer head coach at UNLV, after acting as an assistant at the school for the last three seasons.

Klein played for the Wildcats from 2002-05, and was part of the schools Pacific 10 Conference championship team in 2004, followed by the school’s first Sweet Sixteen team in 2005.

Klein played for current Arizona women’s soccer head coach Lisa Oyen during her collegiate career.

From walk-on to the pros Marquez adjusting to East Coast lifestyle, fighting for minutes

By Vincent Balistreri ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Tim Glass/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Former Wildcat forward Analisa Marquez competes in her last game as a Wildcat in a 3-0 loss to Oregon State in a Senior Day game at Murphey Field on Nov. 8, 2009.

Walk-ons always make for good story lines. Their heart, determination and never-say-die attitude have a way of inspiring.

But after college, walk-ons generally move on to the next chapter in their lives and the fairytale is over.

Rudy went on to become a motivational speaker and David Bagga wrote a book. After college, walk-ons usually drift off to the real world, where they are forced to get a“real job.”

Then there’s the exception: Analisa Marquez.

The former Wildcat, who walked onto the Arizona soccer team in 2006, is extending her fairytale a little bit longer.

After trying out for the Women’s Professional Soccer League’s Boston Breakers in late February, the former walkon is now a professional.

“It was definitely a scary experience going to open tryouts,” Marquez said. “There were tons of coaches with clipboards that were watching games and evaluating players.”

As part of a 22-player roster released on March 25, Marquez was signed to a development contract and is eligible to play, but has a long road until she can compete for minutes.

Marquez has no problem having to prove that she’s worthy, having gone through the same process at the UA. A Tucson native who attended Salpointe Catholic High School, Marquez was named team captain during her senior year.

When it was time to find a college, the forward decided to stay home and attend Arizona.

Marquez made the team as a walk-on, but struggled to find her way the first couple years.

“It was a rollercoaster of a four years at Arizona, I struggled with getting playing time my first two years,” she said.“I finally earned a starting position my junior and senior year.

“I definitely learned to fight for gaining a role on a team because I know I’m good enough,”she added.“I have to prove myself every day because coaches have their opinions, so I have to fight to prove to them that I can play.”

The former Wildcat is once again going through the challenge of earning playing time, but at the same time she has a new challenge to overcome.

She is away from home for the first time in her life and Boston is a lot different from Tucson.

“I was a little homesick at first. It’s a different experience in Boston,”Marquez said.“It’s a lot more going on out here. They have public transportation so I’m getting used to that.”

Marquez admits that the pro game is different compared to the collegiate game, where everyone isn’t necessarily the best of the best.

“The speed of the game is very different, the professional level is much faster and more sophisticated,”Marquez said.

“Every girl in the professional level is great, whereas in college, there were some weak links you could take advantage of on the field.”

The WPS season runs from April to September, and after the season Marquez hopes to play soccer overseas in the fall.

Though Marquez is now a professional athlete, she still has a lot work before she consistently sees the field, but she continue to do the same things that got her to this point.

“Nobody ever got anywhere cruising,”Marquez said.

“You have to work hard, push yourself above your limit and have high expectations.”

Best-dressed political figures

By Kristina Bui ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Muammar Abu Minyar alGaddafi

As players on the world stage, international political figures' images are scrutinized down to the length of their sleeves and number of buttons on their jacket. Dressing for the public eye has become an art, and the best-dressed world leaders are true artists:

Junichiro Koizumi Nicknamed“Lionheart”because of his attitude and his distinctive hair, former Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi made Esquire’s list of best-dressed men in 2005. Although he retired from politics in 2008, Koizumi’s mixture of casually patterned shirts and ties with sleek suits demonstrated an understanding of Western dress better than any of his American peers.

And the Elvis sunglasses are a quirky touch.

Rania al Abdullah abcnews.com

Barack Obama

If President Obama’s choices tend to be safe and predictable, Muammar al-Gaddafi, dictator of Libya, is his style opposite. Gadaffi is the Lady Gaga of political figures. Gaga may not be the best style icon, but she exudes confidence in every horrible costume she’s ever worn.

Like her, Gaddafi is not fashionable in the traditional sense (or at all), but half of wearing anything is being comfortable in it. Gaddafi uninhibitedly embraces every goofy outfit he’s ever been photographed in with an enthusiasm everyone else should aspire to.

Junichiro Koizumi

President Obama appears to favor “dad jeans” and running shoes when he is dressed casually. But considering he spends the majority of his time in a suit, he is otherwise a sharp dresser. He sticks to a predictable combination of a white shirt, blue tie and black suit, but I wouldn’t complain. Why fix what isn’t broken?

Sometimes Queen Rania of Jordan looks more like a beauty pageant queen, rather than the queen of an Arab nation. As a supporter of a woman’s rights to choose whether or not to wear the Hijab, a head covering worn by some Muslim women, Queen Rania often balances conservative dress with glamour and does it well. She never looks less than elegant and in charge.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy

Every Friday, Posada Java hosts Ice Cream and Music Friday Nights, featuring local musicians. Many styles of music are represented. Posada Java is located in the Shoppes of La Posada. 350 E. Morningside Rd. 4 – 7 p.m. Performers take the stage at 5 p.m. 648-7870. Free. www.laposadagv.com.

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, singer and first lady of France, probably has an edge over most people. Getting dressed has to be easier for a former model than the Average Joe. But Bruni-Sarkozy, especially when she’s standing next to her husband in his too-long sleeves and pant legs, has an energetic appeal. Even though she generally dresses in demure gray and navy blue, she has great taste in youthful (but not childish) ballet flats and figure-flattering silhouettes.

Saturday, July 10

Michelle Obama It isn’t any wonder that the Obama campaign often drew comparisons to John F. Kennedy and Jackie Onassis, sometimes drawing attention away from the Obamas’ achievements and goals. But I prefer the first lady’s refreshing appreciation of colors and arm-baring cuts to anything her predecessors wore. As someone in the international eye, she can leave the frumpy sweater sets and pants suits to grandmothers.

Have you ever found yourself wanting to explore some new musical genres? If so, check out Holy Rolling Empire at Plush Lounge. They’re a signed psychedelic-pop band hailing from Tucson. The quintet released their EP “Noise Will Be Noise” last month and is touring around the Southwest. 340 E. Sixth St. Doors open at 9 p.m. 798-1298. $5 cover. 21+. www.plushtucson.com.

Sunday, July 11 In all this heat, there is always one place you can always go to escape: Mt. Lemmon.

So what would make Mt. Lemmon even cooler? Music On The Mountain, an outdoor concert series in Summerhaven. Every Sunday from now through Sept. 5 features a different musical artist. Today’s group is Black Leather Zydeco. 12901 N. Sabino Canyon Parkway. 1 – 5 p.m. No outside food or drink allowed. Free. www.lavamusic.org.
