Future of health-care reform in flux Republican-led House repeal, lawsuits cause controversy surrounding last year’s legislation By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The struggle over health-care reform reached a new level when House Republicans passed a repeal of the Affordable Health Care Act for America on Wednesday. The move is “basically symbolic in its gesture,” according to White House Press Secretary RobertGibbs.Nevertheless,therepeal,combined with several lawsuits brought against the act, is sparking conversations about the future of the American health-care system.

Under the provisions of the act, all Americans must purchase health care or pay fines. The act also seeks to limit the ability of insurance companies to deny care or coverage based on preexisting medical conditions. Another provision of the act allows young adults to stay on their parents’ health insurance until they are 26, instead of the previous cutoff at 19. About 30 percent of adults ages 20 to 29 did not have health insurance in 2008, compared to 17 percent of 30 to 64 year olds, according to a National Center for Health Statistics data brief. Young adults can now stay on their parents’

insurance whether they are married, single, in school or employed. The extended coverage especially helps students who need time to find jobs with benefits after graduation, Gibbs said during a conference call on Tuesday. “Allowing young Americans to stay on their parents’ insurance plans provides a great amount of stability,” he said. Nearly 31,000 young adults in Arizona who are currently on their parents’ insurance plans could lose coverage if the bill was repealed, according to the state Department of Health and Human Services.

Erik Lundstrom, president of the UA Young Democrats and a political science sophomore, said students would be negatively affected if the act was repealed. “I think it’s really hard to find jobs that give health care benefits right out of college,” he said. “They’re not going to get really good health care insurance.” Tanner Weigel, a sophomore majoring in history and Spanish, said he opposes parts of the bill but generally agrees with allowing young adults to stay on their parents’ insurance.

Fraternity raises aid for victims of tragedy By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Two members of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity had a thousanddollar idea to benefit the victims of the Tucson shooting and the 27,000 people waiting in line to attend the “Together We Thrive” memorial service on Jan. 12. Ray Holmgren, the president of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity and a student majoring in psychology and communications, noticed the line of thousands of people as he and a fraternity brother were leaving the Student Recreation Center. “We saw the line going all the way down Sixth Street,” he said. Holmgren realized that someone “could make a lot of money if they sold something to those people.” He returned to his fraternity and put the plan into action. Pi Kappa Alpha made a trip to Costco where they purchased 1,000 water bottles. Ten to 15 of the fraternity members began handing out the water bottles for free at around 1 p.m., asking only for voluntary donations to be forwarded to the Tucson Tragedy Victims’ Fund. The men returned to their fraternity house with $1,382 donations from people waiting in line. “I was proud of the Tucson citizens because they were helping out so generously and showing their support,” Holmgren said. Pi Kappa Alpha’s community service chairman, Steven Ross Spithogiannis, helped to give out the water bottles. “People

Green Fund sustains student ideas By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA Green Fund Committee is looking for ideas with educational components and strong environmental and financial savings. The student-led committee set up shop last semester after the Arizona Board of Regents approved a $24 tuition allocation for the Green Fund in March. Proposals are being accepted now, and the group has $400,000 to dish out to the projects they choose. “I’m hoping that the students and the professors can really surprise us,” said Lon Huber, Green Fund Committee chair and business administration graduate student.

Huber is excited for students to have a chance to see their proposals in action before they graduate. “The poor clubs in the past … they’ve had to spend years just fundraising. I wish they could see us now,” Huber said. “There’s only a few universities that have the setup that we have. Especially for a large school like U of A, it’s pretty unique.” Chad Travis, pre-business sophomore and Green Fund Committee vice-chair, said projects would begin to receive funding as soon as the committee reads through all the proposals that have been submitted. Both faculty and students can submit ideas to the committee.

“We’re looking for art students … it could be performing arts. I want the student body to think outside the box on this. Almost every major has some type of tie to environmental

sustainability,” Huber said. Travis thinks one of the important things about proposals is to not be afraid to submit ideas for consideration. Proposals should be professional in tone and the UA Office of Sustainability is available to assist students if they have questions. All materials to submit a proposal are available online, and proposals are due by Feb. 7. The Green Fund Committee has discussed holding public meetings as an option to keep students informed about their projects, according to Travis. GREEN, page 5

Death penalty improbable for Arizona shooting suspect

Obama to focus on economy, civility MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — Reacting to the Arizona shooting with anger, sadness and shock, a majority of Americans think that suspect Jared Loughner should be sent to death row if he’s convicted, according to one poll. But if statistics are any indication, he has a good chance of escaping execution. Federal prosecutors have had little luck persuading juries to send defendants to death row. Of 467 defendants whom U.S. attorneys general in Washington have authorized to face the federal death penalty since it was instituted in 1988, only 15 percent have received it. The list of criminals who’ve

escaped federal death row includes high-profile convicted killers: Unabomber Ted Kaczynski, Oklahoma City bomber Terry Nichols and Olympic Park bomber Eric Rudolph. Experts say the cases reveal something about the death penalty that Loughner ’s attorneys undoubtedly will use to their advantage: Once juries or prosecutors know the details of suspects’ lives and circumstances — even in the most heinous cases — they can be hesitant to mete out the ultimate punishment. When questions are raised about the defendant’s mental state, as in Loughner ’s case, that decision can be even more difficult, even for staunch supporters of the death sentence.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama, midway through his term and mindful of positioning himself for next year’s re-election campaign, will use the annual State of the Union address Tuesday night to recast himself to voters and regain the confidence of centrists and independents. Expect the economy to serve as the major focus of the speech, both short-term job creation and his plans for long-term stability, with a secondary theme being a call for civility and compromise. “The great majority of the speech will be on the steps that the president believes our country has to take to continue that economic recovery,” said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs. That reflects voters’ priorities in the latest polls and the message from last November’s elections that gave

U.N. envoy: Afghan Israeli panel rules parliament in peril flotilla raid was legal MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE KABUL, Afghanistan — The United Nations representative in Afghanistan held an unscheduled meeting with Afghanistan lawmakers holed up at an upscale hotel here Sunday in an effort to rescue a deal that Western diplomats say is critical to instilling democracy in this war torn country. U.N. envoy Staffan de Mistura’s desperate dash to the Intercontinental Hotel Sunday evening underscored just how high the stakes are for the international community in resolving the conflict between members of parliament and Afghan President Hamid Karzai over when parliament will convene. “It’s a very critical moment,” said de Mistura, as he emerged from closed-door talks with lawmakers. “The hope of the international community is for a speedy agreement.” Legislators on Saturday thought they had a deal with Karzai that would allow the new

parliament to begin work on Wednesday. Karzai had wanted the start of the parliamentary session, which had been scheduled for Sunday, delayed for a month while disputed results from last September’s election are resolved. But by Sunday morning the deal to allow parliament to start meeting appeared to be crumbling. Instilling democracy is a key part of the U.S.-led effort to stabilize Afghanistan, so that foreign troops can pull out. The U.N., speaking on behalf of the United States and the other main Western players in Afghanistan, on Friday had expressed “deep concern” that Karzai wanted to delay the start of parliament. Karzai is seen as increasingly autocratic and often at odds with his Western backers. “Afghanistan’s peaceful future lies in the building up of robust democratic institutions based on the rule of law and clear respect for the separation of powers,” the U.N. said.

JERUSALEM — A commission appointed by Israel’s government concluded Sunday that the country’s military did not violate international law in carrying out a deadly commando raid last spring against a protest ship that was attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza Strip in defiance of Israel’s naval blockade. The panel blamed activists on board the ship for instigating the violence, which ended in the shooting deaths of nine Turkish passengers, including one with dual U.S. citizenship. Critics dismissed the panel’s findings, saying its members were incapable of conducting an objective probe. “It’s a whitewash, just as we expected,” said Audrey Bomse, attorney for the Free Gaza Movement, one of the organizers of the May 2010 flotilla. “You don’t ask a criminal to investigate his own criminality.” Israeli Prime Minister

Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the committee’s 280-page report proved Israel’s response was justified. “Soldiers were defending our country and defending themselves,” he said. The Turkel commission, named after retired Israeli Supreme Court Justice Yaakov Turkel, was formed in June amid international criticism that Israel’s military used excessive force during the early-morning raid of the Mavi Marmara as it sailed with other protest boats in international waters off Israel’s coast. Among other things, the commission found that Israel Defense Forces were justified in using firearms against a group of activists that had overwhelmed the commandos with iron bars, slingshots and knives. It rejected as inconclusive the military’s claim that some activists had brought weapons on board but found evidence that a few activists seized guns from commandos and used them against Israeli forces.

Republicans control of the House of Representatives and a more robust Senate minority. Since then, Obama has seen his approval rating rebound, now averaging around 50 percent, after he compromised with Republicans in the post-election lame-duck session of Congress. In addition, Obama’s emotional speech at a memorial service for the victims of the Jan. 8 mass shooting in Tucson, when he called for civility, also boosted his standing. Recent surveys show him gaining ground with centrist and independent voters, whom he carried in 2008 but who tilted Republican in November. They are critical to his chance for re-election, and he’s pitching his politics to appeal to them. Forty percent of Americans now consider him moderate, up 10 points from a year ago, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released this week.

The ambulance carrying Rep. Gabrielle Giffords leaves University Medical Center behind a police escort in Tucson on Friday to move her to Houston for further rehabilitation.

Gabrielle Giffords leaves Tucson for rehab in Houston MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE As residents lined the streets here to bid a bittersweet farewell to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who was moved to a renowned rehabilitation hospital in Houston on Friday, she responded to their cheers with a smile and even tears, her doctor said. “She could hear it,” said Dr. Randall Friese, a trauma surgeon who accompanied Giffords to Texas. “She smiled, and then she actually teared up a little bit. It was very emotional, very heart wrenching.” But so was the raw sentiment on the streets of Tucson Friday, an outpouring of reverence and respect that appeared to bind the battered city together 13 days after a gunman killed six people and wounded 13, including Giffords. The Arizona Democrat, who was shot through the head, left her hometown with the kind of police motorcade and live TV coverage usually reserved for a head of state. “We just wanted to come today and say goodbye,” said Dot Jones, 63, her eyes welling with tears as the procession passed. “In some ways, I don’t think Tucson will ever get over it,” said her husband, John, 63. Friends, political supporters and a high school special education class clustered outside the hospital complex, waving American flags and flashing thumbs-up signs. “We love you Gabby!” one woman cried. Led by a dozen police motorcycles, an ambulance carrying Giffords left University Medical Center at 9:22 a.m. and drove to Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, where she was transferred onto an air ambulance for the flight to Houston. In addition to Dr. Friese, Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly, her mother, Gloria Giffords, an intensive care nurse and two congressional aides accompanied her. After the flight landed, a Medivac helicopter ferried Giffords to the trauma center at TIRR Memorial Hermann hospital. Doctors there said that the transfer went “flawlessly,” and that Giffords would get her first rehabilitation session

the same afternoon. “She looks spectacular,” said Dr. Dong Kim, neurosurgeon in chief, told a news conference. “She looks awake, calm and comfortable.” Dr. John Holcomb, who heads the medical team, said Giffords will remain in the intensive care unit at least until next week to ensure no infections develop. Doctors then will move her to the hospital’s Institute for Rehabilitation and Research, which specializes in treatment of brain injuries. Giffords has “great rehabilitation potential,” said Dr. Gerard Francisco. “She’ll keep us busy, and we’ll keep her busy as well.” Kim said Giffords may require four to six months of speech and physical therapy, although some of it may be as an outpatient. U.S. Capitol Police have set up extra security at the 119-bed hospital. Giffords, 40, was shot in the forehead when a gunman opened fire on a crowd that had gathered to meet her outside a Tucson supermarket on Jan. 8. A federal grand jury has charged Jared Lee Loughner, 22, with attempted assassination, among other charges. He will be arraigned in Phoenix on Monday. On Friday morning, Tucson police blocked traffic at each intersection so Giffords’ motorcade could pass, and throngs of well-wishers waited on nearly every corner. Some cheered, some wept, and some prayed. “It’s the end of a chapter for us,” said Rick Morey-Wolfe, 37, a hospital contractor. “It’s sad to see her go — this is her town. But we’re happy to see her go somewhere where she can get better.” Cindy Harrelson, a grandmother of three, leaned on her walker as the motorcade assembled. She said she’s had a tumor in the same region of the brain where Giffords was shot. “I know what she has to go through, mentally and physically,” said Harrelson. “I’m glad she’s going someplace that’s better for her and her husband.” On Campbell Avenue, Emily Joseph, 22, clutched a sign reading, “Tucson’s heart goes with you. Come home soon, come home strong.” “I want her to

know we’re still pulling for her,” Joseph explained. A small group stayed outside the air force base even after security guards had waved the motorcade through the gate. Carlos Gonzales, 61, dressed in a U.S. flag shirt, cried when the procession passed. He had skipped work as a marketing director for the day, and he held a sign, reading “God Speed Gabby,” high in the air until Giffords’ plane had disappeared from sight. “Tucson has come together like I’ve never seen before,” he said. “This tragedy has surpassed everything. It has surpassed politics, religion, race.” Tucson residents like to boast that, despite pushing 1 million in population, their sometimes eccentric community has only one freeway and retains a small-town feel. On the streets Friday morning, it seemed that everyone knew Giffords, either directly or as a symbol of the tragedy. “This woman is different than any other person I’ve seen in politics,” said Al Garcia, 47, who wore a Marine Corps jacket. “The first time we met her, it was like we’d known her forever.” Michael Young, 61, clutched an old Giffords campaign poster. “She’s a genuinely nice person,” he said. “I’m glad she’s doing so well. I’m a little sorry she’s leaving us” his voice quivered “but I understand.” Rana McGoldrick, 40, has known Giffords since high school. She brought her toddlers, Brennan and Declan, to see her friend off. “It’s bittersweet,” McGoldrick said. “She’s leaving Tucson, her home. But we know she’ll be back.” Dave Sanderson, 50, voted for Giffords’ Republican opponent in November’s election. But since the shooting, he’s walked his two pit bulls every day to see the growing mound of flowers, candles and cards that well-wishers have left for Giffords and the other victims outside the hospital. “This tore me up,” he said of the massacre. As Giffords’ motorcade approached, Sanderson put a pair of sunglasses on one of his dogs, Buzz, and stuck a U.S. flag in the dog’s collar. “We thought we’d give her a Tucson send-off,” he said.

Year of the queer

Ken Contrata Arizona Daily Wildcat

he American public was inundated with the flamboyance of the “gay agenda” this past year. Damn those pesky gays and the divas who love them, always trying to promote openmindedness and self-respect. Politically, it was a good year for the gay community. The Democrats finally fulfilled their promise of a “don’t ask, don’t tell” repeal, the last state banning gay individuals from adopting children officially stopped enforcing the law and Proposition 8 in California was overturned. While the government continues bridging the chasm between the GLBT community and their rights as American citizens, the influx of overtly gay-oriented cultural icons is the true mark of progress. The government ought to be serving and protecting its citizens, pop culture has no such responsibility. Network TV really stepped it up this year with shows like “Glee” exploring the depth of its gay characters, rather than downgrading them to the protagonist’s sassy friend. Chris Colfer, the show’s gay Kurt Hummel, is being heralded as a leader in the gay-rights movement — largely because of his ability to connect with marginalized gay teens. In a year marred by a string of suicides of gay, or thought to be gay, teens, influences like Colfer and the It Gets Better Project are the subtle proof to struggling teens that they aren’t alone. Colfer dedicated the end of his Golden Globe acceptance speech to teens who are bullied for being who they are. He eloquently finished by saying, “Well, screw that, kids.” Entertainment Weekly issued a special report, “Gay Teens on TV,” featuring Colfer and fellow cast member Darren Criss due to the unprecedented representation. Colfer and Criss sang “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” for the show’s holiday episode. Colfer later said, “That was by far the gayest thing that has ever been on TV, period.” “Glee” isn’t alone in promoting the normalcy of gay Americans through high amounts of airtime. Programs like “Modern Family,” “Greek” and “True Blood” all feature diverse and complex storylines focusing on gay characters and culture. Not to be outdone, the music industry responded to the call for queer-themed work by releasing a slew of empowering singles. This year’s top 40 was blessed with songs like “Firework” by Katy Perry, “We R Who We R” by Ke$ha and “Raise your Glass” by P!nk — all promoting celebrating our differences with pride, even in the face of daunting adversity. However, even with pop culture’s assurance of better days, the trials of gay teens and the dark repercussions of bullying haven’t abated. Kameron Jacobsen, a 14-yearold New York student, committed suicide last week following taunts on Facebook from fellow students for his perceived homosexuality, according to The Advocate. The devastating loss of another teen shows that, despite the efforts of so many, the battle to save the gay youth has only begun. The uphill climb for equal rights and gay presence in the media in 2011 is already underway. President Barack Obama has renewed his promise of passing the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, but more importantly Lady Gaga’s single “Born this way” will be released soon. Already dubbed “the new gay anthem” by none other than Sir Elton John, the goddess has even agreed to let “Glee” cover the song in the coming months, according to the show’s creator Ryan Murphy. With any luck, last year’s political and cultural progress of gay rights and equality will be a glittery foreshadowing of a day where gay Americans enjoy equal rights and teens are free from bullying. So raise your glass and ignite the light. We are who we are because we were born this way. — Ken Contrata is the managing editor of the Daily Wildcat. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

MAILBAG Responsibility supports gun rights To whom it may concern, The article titled “Guns aren’t the solution to gun violence” points out a very interesting take on what happened to Joe Zamudio the day of the horrible shooting at Safeway. Nyles Kendall, the author, points out that Joe ran outside of Safeway when he heard gunshots, he thought that he could help because he was armed, but when he came outside, Jared Loughner’s gun was in someone else’s hand. This, to Nyles, shows that more violence could have occurred and another innocent person could have been shot. However, I would say that the way Mr. Zamudio acted shows the true strength of the Second Amendment when in the hands of a law-abiding citizen. Mr. Zamudio showed great poise and restraint when he acted and even helped hold Jared Loughner down. People can use as many “what ifs” as possible but in reality Joe Zamudio was armed, came onto a confusing scene and acted very courageous and level headed.

So I ask: Who could be afraid of that, Nyles? Lastly, paraphrasing Mr. Zamudio on the Ed Schultz Show, there’s no argument about the Second Amendment. Our Founding Fathers gave us that right for a reason. — Trevor M. Laky College Republicans president

Individual behavior reflects poorly on crowd

Saturday, Jan. 8 will no doubt be an unforgettable day for Tucson. The tragedy took six innocent lives and injured many others including our congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords. Following the incident, a memorial service was held on the 12th, dedicated to those who lost their lives to the shooter’s brutal act of violence. That day also became an unforgettable day as well, not only because of the appearance of the president or the first lady, but because of the many disrespectful students and others who were present that day.

Throughout the event, especially during the touching speech by Obama, the crowd can be heard cheering every few minutes and screaming comments like “We love you!” So many inappropriate actions took place during the memorial that it would appear many had forgotten they were at a memorial service for the deceased, not a rally or concert. It was quite clear that the behavior of the crowd not only surprised the country, but also made the president uneasy, disrespected the families of the victims who were present at the memorial and embarrassed both the UA and the city of Tucson as a whole. I do hope the families can find a place in their hearts to forgive the immaturity and inappropriateness of those during the memorial. As for the students: please do learn to be considerate of the feelings of others in the future, because very frequently the behavior of an individual can place a negative image on the whole of society. — Howard Hu

White House argues for amending current health-care act; Arizona governor, attorney general advocate for full repeal

“The only slippery slope is at what point do we have people independent and on their own?” he asked. Weigel said any attempt to repeal the act would never make it past President Barack Obama’s veto but that the attempt is still important for House Republicans. “What it does is it fulfills a voter mandate,” he said. “It puts peoples’ votes on record.” The act is too long to propose individual amendments, Weigel said. He said the complete repeal allows Congress to start from scratch. “It’s rather ineffective to propose to cut things out and add these amendments when you have that much,” he said. Gibbs said improving upon the current bill is more useful that starting from the beginning. “Let’s not throw this entire thing out,” he said. Parts of the bill may be under

legal scrutiny regardless of the repeal. Christopher Robertson, associate professor of law in the James E. Rogers College of Law, said there are two main legal cases against the Affordable Health Care Act for America. The first case involves individuals who argue Congress does not have the right to regulate health care. Weigel said the mandate to purchase insurance is unconstitutional. “The government’s fining you if you don’t put yourself in a commercial contract,” Weigel said. “I think Congress’s overstepping its boundaries in that regard.” Robertson said he does not think the case will prevail because the Constitution does not guarantee this type of individual freedom. “These challenges to the individual mandate don’t really work,” he said. “I think it’s more of a philosophical position that gained some traction.”

Robertson said Medicare has survived in the health care system even though it essentially forces people to purchase it through payroll deductions. Medicare was also called socialized medicine at first by opponents, said Alison Hughes, interim director of the Rural Health Office in the Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health. “And now it’s sort of part of our culture,” she said. The Affordable Health Care Act for America also regulates state funding of Medicaid, which provides health care for the poor and disabled. Medicaid is funded both federally and at the state level. Robertson said opponents argue the bill encroaches on state sovereignty. Gov. Jan Brewer and Attorney General Tom Horne are among those challenging its constitutionality. “The law is very ambiguous in my

waiting in the line were getting anxious, a lot of them had been out there since 4:30 in the morning,” said Spithogiannis, who had initially planned on attending the memorial himself. “We were all just wearing our fraternity shirts and some people thought we were taking the money for ourselves,” he said. “People would say things like, ‘They’re going to scalp us,’ or thinking they were going to be robbed.” Other people, Spithogiannis said, thanked them for doing such a great thing for the victims. Spithogiannis added that people gave donations from as much as $5 to $20 for a single water bottle. “Through our funding we’re not allowed to charge any administrative

fees. Every single one of Pi Kappa Alpha’s dollars is going to those families,” said Lucas Johnson, a victim advocate and the administrative assistant at the Tucson Tragedy Victims’ Fund. The non-profit organization meets with the families of the murder victims and with the victims who were injured. They then distribute the money depending on the families’ needs. “We’re gonna be covering medical expenses, loss of wages, funeral expenses, and mental health expenses if they need any counseling after that,” Johnson said. Johnson emphasized the breadth of needs that these funds serve. “Other things these funds can also go to are travel or food and lodging

expenses while relatives of the deceased or victims are traveling where the hearings are for criminal charges and trials. They have a right to be present,” he said. “We are non-profit, so we can usually get hotel room donations and be able to give them money for other things like food or travel expenses.” Spithogiannis, who is from New York, said that this sort of tragedy reminds him of 9/11. “It was just awesome to see people in the area where you live or are currently located work together, regardless of what political view you have,” Spithogiannis said. “It was a day where everyone was looking out for each other.”

Student proposals sought

“We want to be as transparent as possible because we’re held accountable to the entire student body, and we’re making decisions for the students,” Travis said. Huber is hoping the Green Fund will provide an opportunity to demonstrate sustainability initiatives that could be implemented in the community as well as the UA. “I really want to show just the imagination and creativity that the student body has in the area of sustainability,” Huber said. “It’s important not just in the immediate campus community here but for the community’s sake to see working models of sustainability projects to

show ‘Hey it works first and foremost. Two, it’s cost effective and, it’s a strong investment.’”

Green Party to pull out of Ireland’s coalition government McClatchy Tribune DUBLIN — Ireland’s Green Party, the junior coalition partner of governing Fianna Fail, announced Sunday that it would pull out of government, following Brian Cowen’s resignation as leader of Fianna Fail. Party leader John Gormley said the party had “run out of patience with Fianna Fail.” However, Gormley said that his party would support in opposition the passage of the finance bill, the legislation underpinning last December ’s austerity budget agreement with the European Union and International Monetary Fund. That could mean the government remains in place until next weekend until the finance bill is passed — provided it is done quickly. It is likely the parliament would then be dissolved and a new election date would be set for February, rather than March 11. On Saturday Cowen announced he was stepping down as party leader, but staying on as prime minister. The move came after a tumultuous week in which he won a confidence vote in his leadership, then became engulfed in controversy over a botched Cabinet reshuffle. The smaller Green Party, on whom Fianna Fail relies to stay in power, had been under pressure to pull out

as the opposition insist that if Cowen is not good enough to lead Fianna Fail, he should not be in charge of the country. Cowen had vowed to remain in office until the early election date of March 11 in order to see the finance bill through parliament. Opposition parties want the bill to be fast-tracked through the Dail (parliament) so that an earlier date for the general election can be set. The Green Party has consistently said it wants to ensure passage of the finance bill before the election. Opposition parties Fine Gael, Labour and Sinn Fein have all said they will facilitate the passage of the finance bill by the end of the week, in return for an earlier general election. Meanwhile, a potentially divisive Fianna Fail leadership race has already begun. Former Foreign Affairs Minister Micheal Martin, who resigned after he failed to oust Cowen Tuesday, declared his candidacy Saturday. Finance Minister Brian Lenihan is to launch his campaign for the party leadership Sunday. Social Protection Minister Eamon O Cuiv has also announced his candidacy. The new leader, which many expect to be Martin, will be elected by Fianna Fail members of parliament on Wednesday.

Two birds with one call

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to a call about a potential fight at a fraternity house north of campus around 1:05 a.m. on Jan. 17. On the way to the house, the officer was notified that there was no longer a fight. As the officer drove north on Highland Avenue, he observed two males walking south. The officer turned his vehicle around, stopped the pair and asked if they knew anything about the fight. The two men answered that they were at a friend’s house and didn’t hear anything about a fight. The officer noticed that the two smelled strongly of alcohol and asked the men if either of them had been drinking. “Honestly, I have,” said one of the men. The two men were identified as UA students under the age of 21. The two students admitted to drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon and Keystone at a friend’s but did not know who supplied the beer. The officer cited both for minor in possession and released them. No Dean of Students referral was completed because the incident occurred on a city sidewalk. The officer then drove past a house with several cars in front and on both sides of the street around it. As the officer passed behind the house, he observed eight college-aged men and women standing outside a back door. When the officer stopped his vehicle, all of the people returned quickly into the house.

McKale bomb threat, false alarm

An anonymous caller reported a bomb at McKale Center on Jan. 12. At 11:46 p.m Tucson Fire Department received a call from a 911-only phone with the message, “Bomb at McKale, hurry, hurry.” The Tucson Fire Department could not find a call-back number because of the limitations of the phone. A UAPD officer responded to McKale Center and initiated a fire alarm to evacuate anyone left in the building. The officer did not notice any civilians in the area. Several other UAPD officers were called in and established a perimeter around the arena. UAPD officers checked the exterior and interior of the building. No suspicious packages or signs of criminal activity were found.

Bad case of late-night munchies

A vending machine located in the basement of ArizonaSonora Residence Hall was broken into on Jan. 12. A UAPD officer was dispatched to the residence hall at 6:42 a.m., where a UA Residence Life employee showed the officer the damage. The glass of the vending machine was shattered and there were Flaming Hot Cheetos scattered on the ground amongst the glass. The officer contacted Tomdra Vending Co. and informed them of the damage. He also took inventory of the contents of the machine and stored them. Although there is a security camera where the vending machines are located, there are no suspects at this time.

Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

Andre Newman

Acro-Yoga specialist What type of magic is going on here? This is acro-yoga; it is a combination of yoga and acrobatics, and has some therapeutic elements. About two years ago a friend of mine who teaches yoga turned me and my partner on to it and we’ve been doing it for about two years. Is it more thrilling than regular yoga? It is. It’s partners yoga so there is a lot of challenging posture that you can only get into with the assistance of a partner. It becomes more acrobatic when you become more experienced. What is the craziest position you can get in to? Something I’m real excited about learning about is the “hand-tohand stand,” it’s expert. How does it feel to be a human pretzel? Well, this isn’t contortionism. A lot of it is just balance and communication. It’s mechanics, getting over certain fears and trusting a person enough. So would you recommend this for a dysfunctional couple? Sure, sure. If they want to be brought to a point where they have to communicate in order to cooperate, then yeah, I would say it is therapy. If you can suspend your ego, it’s a lot easier to accomplish things. — Caroline Nachazel

•The snowdrop is the ﬂower for the month of January because it often blooms in the snow. •A person standing under an oak tree is 16 times more likely to be hit by lightning than if he had taken refuge beneath a beech tree because oak trees have vertical roots that shoot directly to ground water. •Water is lighter as a solid than a liquid — it floats. If ice could sink, seas, lakes and ponds would become frozen from the bottom up. This would push all aquatic life to the top, killing all life.

new wisdom. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frank (Busch) always talks about that its good to go against the best team,â&#x20AC;? Geer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You learn a lot about yourself and about your racing when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re racing the best people in the country and in the world even.â&#x20AC;? Another prominent force on the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side was junior captain Alyssa Anderson, who won the 1,000y freestyle both on Friday and Saturday. Anderson also won the 500y free and 200y butterfly against Cal. On the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side freshman Mitchell Friedemann beat out teammates Cory Chitwood and Ivan Tolic, to take the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 100y backstroke on Friday. Friedemann claimed the same race against the Golden Bears the next day. He also noticed the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attitude adjustment on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like the first day with Stanford, we had some pretty good racing, but I feel like there was a big change, like our whole team, when we came out today,â&#x20AC;? Friedemann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone was ready to race, the attitude was a lot better, and everyone gave 100 percent. It helps having really great captains, Cory (Chitwood) and Rob (Iddiols), even on the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; side. They pump you up.â&#x20AC;?

Even though there were unfavorable scores for Arizona, the team came in with better mentalities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely knew Stanford and Cal were really good teams, and we were ready to race them,â&#x20AC;? Geer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Against Stanford we were just a little off, and we came in with a different attitude today and that just proved a lot.â&#x20AC;? Geer herself had an off meet on Friday when she was outraced twice by Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kate Dwelley. It was Geerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first time collegiately racing Dwelley, who won both the 100-yard and 200-yard freestyle. Geer came in second in the 100y free and third in the 200y free.Â On Saturday, Geer took the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 200y free and finished runner-up in both the 50y and 100y freestyle events. However, Geer didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the 100y free on Saturday either when Calâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liv Jensen won by two hundredths of a second.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships

FOR KEEPS

The average length of an erect penis is 5.5-6.5 inches, with an average width of 1.24-1.6 inches.

I’m well-endowed and my girlfriend has trouble accommodating my larger size. We’re looking for suggestions to have more mutually enjoyable sex.

A. What a great question! There’s a lot of talk about penis size, but not many questions address the potential challenges of being wellendowed. Here are a few things that you can do to make sex more enjoyable for both of you. Foreplay. It’s a fact: women need more time to get aroused. Foreplay will provide more natural lubrication and give the vagina the time it needs to expand. Explore other erogenous zones – nipples, neck, lips, inner thighs, ears, and lower back – by kissing, caressing, nibbling, licking, and massaging. Foreplay is fun, exciting, and a great way to get both your minds and bodies in “the mood.” Lube. And lots of it. Lubricants help decrease friction and increase pleasure. There are many different kinds on the market so test some out and find the kind that you both like. Slow and Steady. At the start (and throughout intercourse) remember to be gentle, go slow, and not force anything. Experiment with your

partner to find a pace that is comfortable and a depth that you both enjoy. Mix it up. Try different positions and angles of entry that work for both of you. You may want to let her get on top so she can control the depth of penetration. The more her pelvis is tilted, the deeper you can penetrate; you might try it “doggie” style, entering from behind. Keep in mind that about 2 out of 3 women do not orgasm from vaginal intercourse alone. Stimulating the clitoris during intercourse, using your hands, her hands, and/or a toy, may be essential for her to achieve orgasm. Communicate. Talking openly and honestly with your partner about sex, including your likes, dislikes, and experiences can make sex more enjoyable for both of you. If you have questions about your sexual health call (520) 621-4967 to speak with a health educator at Campus Health. All calls are free and confidential.

Gymcats battle injuries, sneak past ASU Graham, Cristello shine despite being gametime decisions By Kevin Nadakal Arizona Daily Wildcat Arizona gymnastics found itself falling behind early against in-state rival ASU on Friday night in their first home meet, but the team fought back to regain the lead after the third event. The Gymcats surpassed all expectations on the bar routine, where they have struggled all season. The bar event was right after the team struggled on the vault, where it is usually quite strong. “I can’t even remember the last time we counted a fall on vault, seriously,” said head coach Bill Ryden. “To have one kid fall on vault is incredibly rare, we have gone years and have not had one kid fall. To have two in the same competition, I was blown away.” The Gymcats pulled away at the end with a final score of 193.625 to 192.050. “There is no need to reinvent the wheel overnight, those kids

are going to hit a lot more than they are going to miss,” said associate head coach John Court. “The kids are really talented. They are almost all the way healthy but it’s just a matter of them putting it all together. “Once they put it all together, we are going to be a pretty dangerous team.” The team was led by junior Deanna Graham, who competed in the first three events. Graham was unsure if she would even be able to compete after suffering a back injury two weeks ago that was still bothering her. Aubree Cristello was another Gymcat who pushed through a nagging injury to help get the win. Cristello suffered a shoulder injury around the same time as Graham. “I couldn’t be happier. I think we are going to be much stronger next week (when they are healthier),” Ryden said. “Boy you can sure measure their hearts, those two have heart. They know the team needs

them and they came through.” Ryden had no idea that Graham would compete until the team had their warm-ups prior to the meet. He was in constant communication with Graham to see how she felt and they finally determined that she would be able to go. “I’m definitely feeling repercussions of competing,” Graham said. “My body was probably compromised in other ways trying to keep my back from hurting, but I’ll get all that worked out and be ready to compete all-around next Friday for sure.” The highlight of the night came during the bars event when senior Miranda Russell scored a career high of 9.900. The score was somewhat of a redemption for Russell after she fell during the vault event as she landed flat on her back. The Gymcats will compete again on Friday when they go up against Boise State in McKale Center at 7 p.m.

Swimming gets shut out at home Both men’s and women’s teams get swept by Stanford, California By Kelly Hultgren Arizona Daily Wildcat

Ginny Polin/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Freshman Margo Greer dives into the pool in Arizona’s loss to Stanford on Friday at Hillenbrand Acquatic Center. Geer finished second in the 100-yard free style event.

Rankings prevailed this past weekend when Stanford’s No. 3 men’s and No. 1 women’s teams swept Arizona’s No. 2 men’s and No. 7 women’s teams on Friday, 155-143 and 178-114. The statement also held true on Saturday when California’s No. 4 men’s and No. 4 women’s teams swept Arizona 174.5-123.5 and 165.5-135.5. The Bay Area schools made it look easy. “These teams are better than us right now,” said head coach Frank Busch. “I think from what I’ve seen and judging by what I’m seeing from our teams, do I think both of those teams are better than us going into the NCAA’s? No, I don’t.” The Bay Area schools, as with the rest of the teams in the elite Pacific 10 Conference, train to peak during the conference schedule to prepare for the national championships, which is

a fundamental difference between them and Arizona, according to Busch. “We do something where we try to make standards in Texas, they don’t,” Busch said. “Most of these teams are going to try and be very good in their conference meets. In our case, our conference meet is not our numberone priority, the NCAA’s are. A little bit different formula, same idea, but different formula, and I like our formula better.” Busch references making standards at the Texas Invite in December. Despite the early peak and current decline in performance, Busch remains confident with his training regime and explains why Arizona wasn’t putting up faster times over the weekend, and why it wasn’t surprising. “It has proven over the years that it holds up in the end, percentage wise, of better swims that happen at the biggest meets,” SWIM, page 9

What we learned B

COMMENTARY BY Kevin Zimmerman sports writer

We learned that the Arizona men’s basketball team is grasping how to fight.

In a setting that could likely be recreated Feb. 19, when No. 20 Washington visits McKale Center, the Wildcats showed that they could play with the Huskies on the road — at least for 35 minutes. The 85-68 loss in Hec Edmundson Pavilion on Thursday had a margin that pointed more toward the final five minutes, where Arizona’s will finally broke, than the entirety of the game. The Huskies went on 7-0 and 6-0 spurts throughout the game but the Wildcats kept fighting, keeping close through most of the second half. “To beat them, a lot of things have to happen,” said head coach Sean Miller. “I thought we had a couple open (shots). That final score, in my mind, is closer to eight to 10 points. “We had opportunities in the second half to really take the game to the final minutes. We didn’t answer the bell.” UA forward Derrick Williams put up a respectable 22 points and 11 rebounds despite the Huskies’ size and collapsing defense. After the game, he vowed to help his team from folding down the stretch. “When we go to Pullman, we’ll be a whole different team,” Williams said before Saturday’s game against Washington State. “Everybody’s going to play hard. I’ll make sure of that.”

We learned that the Wildcats are slowly forming a defensive mentality.

For as much as the Wildcats struggled against Washington while shooting 40 percent to the Huskies 48 percent, Arizona took Williams’ guarantee and knocked off a talented Washington State Cougars squad 65-63 on Saturday. While Williams struggled offensively facing rising Pacific 10 Conference big man DeAngelo Casto, he made up for it in recording 19 rebounds, tying the school-

efore the Arizona men’s basketball team traveled to the state of Washington, a grueling trip to face two of the Pacific 10 Conference’s best teams, players and head coach Sean Miller said it would be trying and telling trip. As it turns out, the visit to the Pacific Northwest was a microcosm of the Wildcats’ (16-4, 5-2 Pac-10) progression in Miller’s second year.

high for a Pac-10 game. Williams shot 4-for-13 from the field, but his rebounding suggests that he’s improving on his biggest weaknesses on the defensive side of the ball. Meanwhile, Arizona held deadly Cougar guard Klay Thompson to nine points and five turnovers on 4-for-16 shooting. The effort came behind UA junior Kyle Fogg, whose scoring numbers have dropped from last season, possibly in light of his commitment at shutting down top-notch scoring guards. And while mustering a lowly 36.8 percent shooting clip themselves, the Wildcats defense won themselves a low-scoring game that went down to the wire.

We learned that the Arizona men’s basketball team is still young.

Expectations often overlook the fact that Arizona’s roster consists of one senior, Jamelle Horne. While relegated to the bench, Horne hit three well-placed 3-pointers — a recurring theme for Horne — against Washington State. Such is a testament to his experience. But aside from the senior forward, Arizona’s rotation consists of two juniors, five sophomores, a freshman and a junior college transfer. Against Washington, the Wildcats lost to a team reaping the benefits of veteran experience. The talk of the town was UW point guard Isaiah Thomas’ 22 point, 10 assists chopping up of Arizona’s defense, but at the other end of his passes were seniors Matt Bryan-Amaning and Justin Holiday, who scored 18 and 22 points, respectively. The two Washington forwards are examples of player development in NCAA basketball, going from easy-to-look-past role players into team leaders. Perhaps it’s a good lesson in realizing that Arizona’s youth, despite all the games they’ve played, have a lot of room for growth. “Bryan-Amaning and Justin Holiday as

these guys who vote to come and watch film. “I watched him in the last two games. Against Cal he had 27 points and 13 assists. He was closer to having 30 and 20 assists. He followed that up with 22 points and 10 assists. He is dynamic. “In my opinion, if you name Kemba Walker and you name Jimmer Fredette, and certainly those two guys deserve all the accolades, he’s right there with those guys. How he’s playing and what he means to Washington, it’s important to what you have to deal with when you play these guys is that little monster. I mean that in the most positive way because he’s so controlling on the offensive end, you’re just at his mercy. He makes the game so easier for his teammates. “He is at the highest level as a college basketball player. Much different because he has the ball in his hands. When he has the ball in his hands, a lot of bad things happen for you. “He’s got a toughness about him, where you can almost tell his teammates have his personality. He really makes them go.”

seniors, you know, that’s what college basketball is all about,” Miller said. “You have these guys in your program where they contribute, they win. And then all of a sudden they become a senior, and it’s like, ‘Wow, they’re a different player.’” Miller added: “I really admire how Washington has their program in order.”

We learned that Miller knows a good guard when he sees one.

Last season, Miller told the media he believed some junior BYU guard named Jimmer Fredette was one of the NCAA’s best point guards. Fredette made everyone else agree, torching Arizona for 49 points in McKale Center. Now a senior, Fredette is a player of the year front runner with UConn point guard Kemba Walker. Before the game against the Huskies, Miller said Thomas was a top point guard in the country. Like Fredette, Thomas proved Miller right. Here’s everything we could fit in the paper about what the Arizona coach had to say about the UW’s motor. “Isaiah Thomas, it’s not even close, there’s not one player in the country that’s more disrespected across the nation than him. Not one. It’s not even close. If he’s not one of the top four or five point guards in the country, then I want to tell

Wildcats mark their territory Women’s basketball beats Washington State to extend home win streak to nine

Senior forward Ify Ibekwe drives to the basket in Arizona’s 64-58 win over Washington State in McKale Center on Saturday. Ibekwe finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds despite battling illness.

By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT After a rough road trip where the Arizona women’s basketball team dropped three Pacific 10 Conference games, the momentum is back on track with a home sweep of the Washington schools. The Wildcats capped off the sweep with a 64-58 win over the Washington State Cougars in McKale Center on Saturday, extending their home winning streak to nine games. “It certainly feels good to come away with two wins at home,” said head coach Niya Butts. “I think our team really battled these last two games. Our backs were against the wall, but we played the way we needed to play, and so I’m certainly happy with that.” Despite a lackluster start, the Wildcats (135, 4-3 Pac-10) were able to force their style of offense and keep a tenacious defensive pressure on what appeared to be a feeble Cougar (5-15, 3-5) team. At the tip off, both teams looked as if they weren’t ready to play, where missed shots and turnover excess for both sides didn’t allow a basket to fall until three minutes into the game when Arizona forward Erica Barnes hit a close jumper to edge the Wildcats out front. “I think we played tough defense, but we couldn’t make a layup,” Butts said. “The defensive effort was really, really good, and I thought we needed to score though because its going to be tough to sustain that for another 20 minutes in the first half, but we needed to get some offensive production.” The Wildcats were able to fix their offensive shortcomings and build a significant lead with a 13-2 run with 10:15 left on the clock. “It all started with our defense,” said sophomore guard Davellyn Whyte regarding Arizona’s first-half success. “Once we started getting stops, our shots started falling. We started to get some momentum and started to get more energy.” The Wildcats were on top, 32-16, at the half but the Cougars weren’t ready to throw in the towel yet.

Ginny Polin/ Arizona Daily Wildcat

WSU’s shots started to fall, and the Cougars began a 16-5 run, closing the margin to 37-31 with 15:18 to play. Arizona was able to regain momentum and push the game back to its style of play and pushed for the rest of the game to secure the victory. Arizona forward Ify Ibekwe, who had been battling illness all week, managed to come two steals away from a triple-double. The senior finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds, and eight steals. Ibekwe’s performance was even more impressive considering her fellow forward

Soana Lucet was scratched out of the starting lineup after waking up with a fever of 103 degrees. Along with Ibekwe’s contributions, Whyte also tallied 16 points for the Wildcats. For now, Butts is pleased with the way the team played at home, but she’s not ready for the squad to rest on their laurels. “We have to stay aggressive and our mindset has to be to continue to be that,” she said. “We can’t get complacent. We can’t get happy with only winning these two games in a row, so keeping us on the right track, in terms of our focus, is going to be key.”

Tennis aces home opener By Zack Rosenblatt ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona men’s tennis team opened its season in impressive fashion on Saturday, defeating University of California, Riverside 7-0 and sweeping in all six singles matches at the LaNelle Robson Tennis Center. In doubles, the Highlanders kept it close, splitting the first two matches before the Wildcats won the tiebreaker with the duo of senior Andres Carrasco and freshman Kieren Thompson . “I thought the guys did really well, there were some nerves early on in doubles, but once we got through them and got the kinks out we rolled through convincingly,” said UA head coach Tad Berkowitz . The Wildcats (1-0) paired junior Jason Zafiros with freshman Andre Vidaller for the first time on court one. Playing in the number one spot, the duo proved victorious in a hard-fought 9-7 victory over UCR’s (0-4) Michael Conroy and Quoc Doan . Sophomore Frank Chen made his doubles debut with senior Borja Malo . The Wildcat duo fought hard against UCR’s Austin Andres and Raineir Matias , but lost 8-5. On court two, Thompson and Carrasco propelled the Wildcats to clinch the doubles point. It took a tiebreaker to win the match TENNIS, page 9
