Sony president, CEO visits UA By Brenna Goth

Sony activities will take place throughout the week.

DAILY WILDCAT

Jack Tretton, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America , is visiting campus this week. He will meet with administrators from various colleges and give an address as part of the Eller College of Management Distinguished Speaker Series. Tretton, the father of a UA undergraduate, contacted the university a few months ago to ask if he could be of any assistance, said Nancy Smith, director of Corporate and Business Relations. Opportunities are still in development, but the UA is now a “preferred recruiting institution” for internships, Smith said.

Jack Tretton Sony president and CEO

Daily Wildcat: As a UA parent, what do you think of the university and has that influenced your decision to

reach out? Jack Tretton: One of the things that impressed me so much was the tradition. The school is actually older than the state, and you can feel that. There is tradition in everything it does. The school takes

education so seriously and that was very important to me, not only in the undergraduate but the graduate programs. The rest of the world would be extremely impressed if they knew as much about the university as I do. What does it mean for the UA to be a “preferred recruiting institution”? I think I’ve personally spent more time at UA than any other college since I’ve been in college myself. I’m a fan of the university and everything it represents. Familiarity breeds interest. I’ve seen what a great institution it is. In just the two short years we’ve had our internship

program, we’ve had a UA student in the program. It’s a great opportunity for me and my company in particular to have a relationship with such a fine institution. Are you trying to strengthen that relationship or make it more formal with your visit? I think this is really the first formal relationship. I’ve kind of been informally involved since my son enrolled three years ago. This is the first formal connection with the university and I hope it’s something that strengthens over time. Does Sony have any other relationships with universities at

this point? Nothing official. We’re starting to build those more, and want to do more college outreach, but unfortunately, finding time is difficult. Arizona is the first. It may not be the last, but Arizona is the flagship in term of close relationships. What’s changed in the gaming industry since you started working in it more than 20 years ago? The industry probably evolves and moves at a quicker pace, in my opinion, than any industry out there. It reinvents itself every year and there are always new challenges.

A $1.5 million grant will allow UA researchers to study how human behavior and climate impact wildfires, given the historic fire season that affected some UA students this summer. Thomas Swetnam, director of the UA’s Laboratory of TreeRing Research, is the lead investigator on the National Science Foundation grant, and will spearhead the group of researchers from many different departments, including fire ecology, archaeology, anthropology, education and outreach. The team’s overall goal is to determine how humans affect the severity of wildfires in the Southwest. This question will be answered by combining various means of research, including communicating with four Native American tribes throughout Arizona and New Mexico, and also by researching how the wildfires are fueled by forest components. Swetnam was unable to be contacted for comment as of press time. T.J. Ferguson, a professor in the School of Anthropology and the grant’s co-principal investigator, will examine the cultural use of fire in several tribes in Arizona and New Mexico. “I’ve been working with three of the four tribes for more than twenty years on a whole series of projects,” Ferguson said. “So it was a real honor for me to be invited to work with this team of scientists who are studying a topic so timely.” Ferguson is currently in New Mexico meeting with members of the Pueblo of Zuni and Pueblo of Jemez Native American tribes, where he is trying to better understand how they have affected the behaviors of wildfires in the region, coupled with droughts and other dry conditions. Much of Ferguson’s portion of the project will include mapping the settlement locations of the tribes and comparing them to maps of fires, and then studying the consistencies. Sara Chavarria, the outreach director in the College of Education , is responsible for making the team’s research accessible to students in high

IT migration fails to connect Faculty Senate raises concerns over ongoing data service switch By Luke Money DAILY WILDCAT

In Provost Jacqueline Mok’s first Faculty Senate meeting as the UA’s chief academic officer on Monday, scholastic issues took a backseat to information technology issues and the goings-on at ASU. The senate heard a presentation from Michele Norin, the UA’s chief information officer, about the UA Connect project. The project is an ongoing effort to modernize the university’s email and calendar environment. Norin said the overall goal of the project is to make the UA’s information offerings more reliable, but acknowledged that the array of different types of machines used by faculty and staff, particularly older machines, had become a mitigating factor in the process. “We underestimated the effort it (the migration) would take,” she said. Derek Masseth, senior direc-

tor of infrastructure services for University Information and Technology Services, said one of the techniques to make the university’s information offerings more integrated and efficient was a shift to BPOS, a messaging and collaboration platform operated by Microsoft that the UA uses at a cost of $500,000 a year. Masseth acknowledged there had been “a lot of challenges” with the migration, but that the 8,000 or so who were already using the service were having a “wonderful experience.” Wanda Howell, the chair of the Faculty Senate, asked why the migration had to be mandatory. Masseth responded that it was based on the per-user cost and flexibility the service provided. Norin did say that the migration did not exclude departments or colleges from using their own, internal systems, but that those determinations have to be made with the approval of the IT team. John Ulreich, an English professor, expressed a common complaint that the migration had interrupted regularly reliable service. “For me, the system was work-

Union Gallery seeks students for showcase By Samantha Munsey DAILY WILDCAT

The Union Gallery at the UA is looking for students to submit artwork for its gender themed showcase. The showcase, titled “Gender Blender: Identities in Flux” explores the topic of gender identity and what it means in society. This is the first time the gallery will be hosting the event along with Associated Students of the University of Arizona Pride Alliance. “It’s still pretty new but so far it has been good,” said gallery coordinator

Mandy Garcia, a graduate student in higher education. “Students are really excited and we are excited about the message this exhibit will bring and we are hoping that it will really create a lot more awareness to people and help push forward the topic.” The exhibition is sent to run from Oct. 31, to Nov. 30 at the Union Gallery in the Student Union Memorial Center. The dates are set do coincide with Transgender Awareness Week, which begins Nov. 14. “The idea started as a desire to educate others on diversity,” said

Stephen Hall, an art history senior and gallery member. “We wanted to start a discussion on gender as being more than just black and white and show the aesthetics of a deeper meaning.” The last day to submit artwork to the showcase will be Oct. 11. It is open to all artists and skill levels with a $5 fee for the first three images. The only requirement for the piece is that it needs to represent anything but a typical gender expression. Some of the categories the gallery will be using to display

the work include “Nobody performs gender the same way” and “Blurring boundaries.” “We’re open to any types of mediums,” Garcia said. “I encourage students to submit their art. It should be a really good exhibit and a good way to get your art out there.” Some of the types of artwork that the gallery is looking for include paintings, photography and drawings. Experimental techniques are also welcomed and the gallery has already gotten some submitted work of that nature.

Knox’s conviction overturned LONDON — The case was a media sensation from the start, with allegations of drug-fueled group sex and a principal suspect whose cherubic face proved to be an irresistible canvas to a world that saw in it images ranging from scheming vamp to innocent ingenue. For four years, that contrast hovered over the fate of Amanda Knox, a 24-year-old American exchange student in Italy, trapped in a foreign legal system and behind bars for the murder of her British roommate. Was she a killer, capable of murdering Meredith Kercher in the pursuit of sexual pleasure? Or was she the helpless victim of a prosecutor’s character assassination and a botched police investigation? On Monday, an appeals jury in the

central Italian town of Perugia sided with the latter portrait. It overturned Knox’s conviction for the 2007 murder of Kercher, a British student with whom she shared an apartment. Knox’s alleged accomplice, former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, 27, was also exonerated by the appellate panel. The stunning turnaround hinged on an independent review of DNA evidence that authorities said tied Knox and Sollecito to the crime. Kercher, 21, was found dead in her room, her throat slashed and her body bearing more than 40 wounds and signs of sexual assault. The DNA review found that the evidence was severely compromised by sloppy police collection methods and subpar forensic testing, a devastating conclusion that prosecutors could not successfully counter.

FROM PAGE 1 But like history, it does tend to repeat itself a lot. I’ve seen a lot of cycles since the mid-‘80s. I think the biggest change is it’s gone from being seen as a toy to really something at the heart of mainstream entertainment. What were some of the main challenges in managing Sony after the April hacking incident? I think adversity is something everybody faces in their business life. We certainly have had tremendous competition over the years and continue to see people trying to take a bite out of our business. The network outage was the first thing that had a direct impact that we were at a loss to be able to control. We learned some important lessons from that. We shored up security. And I think we learned just how consumers felt about us. We were thrilled that 94 percent of people came back immediately

What advice do you have for students who want to get involved in the video game field? Just that having a passion about something is a start. We tend to gravitate toward things that we’re interested in. I’ve found that gaming can be great as a hobby, but it’s also an entrepreneurial industry. I think it requires a lot of creativity in individuals who want to get involved in the industry. I think they should take a close look at what attracts them to the industry and match their skill set to the industry they’re looking to target. What are employers like Sony looking for? Creativity, first and foremost. Somebody that’s open to change, open to new ideas. This is an industry that changes on a daily basis, so if you’re not a real malleable person, the volatility in the industry is going to be tough to adjust to.

Silverman said he was worried that this new medical school was “considerable competition” to the UA’s Phoenix Biomedical campus, which is the only medical school in the state. UA President Eugene Sander said he was not worried about the partnership, and said that the combined student output of the two campuses, around 250 a year, was “just about right” for a state the size of Arizona. “Big time science is a team game,” Sander said.

school classrooms. “Sometimes research can be very high-tech or high-level,” Chavarria said. “While it might make sense to them, it might not translate easily into the classrooms.” Chavarria will meet with her team in New Mexico during the weekend of Oct. 9 to discuss the outreach segment of the project. UA students who have experienced wildfires first-hand agree that studying the correlation between humans and wildfires is worth the cost. Kaitlin Mitchell, a junior from Sierra Vista studying political science and philosophy, had to evacuate her family’s home after a spark during the Monument Fire lit a field near her house. “I definitely think that this is a great way to spend this money,” Mitchell said. “Arizona is very prone to these wildfires, and it’s

likely that there will be more.” Mitchell also said that research like this could help develop ways to prevent fires and protect property throughout the state. Natascha Bobke, a German studies senior, said she is also in favor of the research after having to evacuate her grandparents who live in Sierra Vista. “The fires here just cause one problem and lead to another,” Bobke said. Bobke also said she thinks the research could help preserve the wildlife of the Southwest. “I think it’s definitely something worth studying,” she said. “Especially after hearing rumors that the fire (Monument Fire) was started by humans.” The Wallow Fire was the largest in the state’s history, burning more than 539,000 acres. After starting on May 29, it was declared 100 percent contained on July 8. The Monument Fire also burned more than 30,000 acres surrounding Sierra Vista earlier this summer.

Harry Potter Alliance making magic at UA By Samantha Munsey DAILY WILDCAT

The UA Harry Potter Alliance wants you to join Dumbledore’s Army. The club will be conducting its first meeting this Thursday in Pima Lodge in Pima Hall from 7 to 8:30 p.m. The alliance is just one of many international chapters of the non-profit organization that works to promote social justice, literacy, self-esteem, environmentalism and changes in a local community through world of Harry Potter. Janae Phillips, a senior studying family studies and human development and president of the Harry Potter Alliance for the UA, said she wanted to create a chapter on campus after coming across the alliance’s website and asking friends what they thought about starting a club. “We plan on working with Harry Potter Alliance themes which can be anything from book drives to equality work and challenges,” Phillips said. “Anything that can create a positive impact.” More than 100,000 people have joined the Harry Potter Alliance since 2005 and there are 112 alliance chapters registered worldwide. In efforts to promote civic participation and accountability, the organization fundraises money for various charities, including Partners In Health in Haiti, and continues to donate books to community centers and libraries all over the nation. Phillips wants to create the same participation at the UA by allowing club members to decide what they want out of the alliance. “The Harry Potter Alliance works so well because people come in with this fandom that they all have in common with each other and it makes it fun,” Phillips said. “If you can talk about media reform and talk about Rita Skeeter and the Daily Prophet, then that is a lot more interesting then the political side of it. So it is a way to get people interested that may have never been before.” A short informational meeting was conducted in the Student Union Memorial

BRIEFS UA wins $122,000 grant for mine safety UA researchers received a $122,000 grant to expand their one-year program to continue to keep miners safe. The grant was provided by the Mine Safety and Health Administration of Brookwood-sago grants program, which was established in memory of victims of the recent mine explosions in Alabama and West Virginia. Ros Hill, the director of the UA San Xavier Underground Mining Laboratory, along with colleagues Mary Poulton and Patricia Anders, have developed mining simulators using gaming software to educate miners on how to prevent future accidents. This software can also serve for low literacy or limited English proficiency miners. This group, along with a few graduate students, has now announced that they are ready to offer training on how to operate the simulator. According to Hill, the entire mining industry has had 23 fatalities in the last year and its end goal is to get to zero.

This exhibit will raise awareness about diabetes through an American Indian perspective using photographs, artwork, storytelling and videos. Arizona has one of the highest rates of diabetes in the world, according to the museum. The Arizona State Museum has worked to raise awareness that obesity is a trigger of diabetes. Nearly onethird of American adults and children are obese, and these rates are higher among American Indians. The Arizona State Museum is also hosting a full day of free events that includes a five-kilometer walk/run, a farmer’s market, multicultural performances and nutrition advice, dances and athletic clinics. Registration for the walk/ run will begin at 8 a.m., and the clinics will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., on Nov. 12 on the front lawn of the Arizona State Museum.

UA teams up with AZ Western College on $6 million grant The UA and Yuma County’s Arizona Western College have received a $6 million grant from the Department of Education. This grant will be used to fund a possible new program providing Arizona Western College students an opportunity to complete a four-year engineering degree locally as well as implement and design new coursework. This potential program, the FUTURES project, will make both engineering schools compatible with each other to a point where Arizona Western College students can spend three years on an engineering degree locally and spend the last year at the UA, without potential employers noticing a difference from UA campus engineering majors. A long-term goal involves new course material that apply to renewable energy specialization along with new technology designs for renewable energy. The UA engineering faculty and staff also said this is a great example of outreach of colleges combining to meet community and state needs.

Blow the whistle on rape Michelle A. Monroe Daily Wildcat

ape is not an administrative issue; it’s a legal one. A new bill in Virginia would move on-campus felony crimes from college police departments to local police. Comparatively, in Tucson, if a crime like rape takes place on university property, the campus police head the investigation, according to a representative from the Adult Sexual Assault Unit for the Tucson Police Department. At the UA, the police can only handle the investigation if the student reports it to them directly. If not, students report it to the dean and it’s handled “in house.” “‘Sexual misconduct’ means engaging in any non-consensual sexual contact with another person,” according to the UA’s Student Code of Conduct. It’s prohibited conduct and subject to an investigation by the Dean of Students. The Dean of Students is not who should be investigating sexual misconduct. It’s not something that only affects students, it’s a crime. Only 7 percent of sex crimes reported on college campuses in the past six years resulted in arrests, and about 2.3 percent resulted in convictions, according to a survey conducted by the Chicago Tribune. So, one of the easiest places to get away with rape is a college campus. In 2009, there were five reported forcible sexual assaults, one in 2008, and eight in 2007, according to the U.S. Department of Education. These numbers are different than what is reported by the University of Arizona Police Department, because some students only report to the dean, said UAPD public information officer Sgt. Juan Alavarez. “They are reported directly to the Dean of Students Office, not to us, and some don’t even get to us,” Alvarez said. Students are doing a disservice to their fellow Wildcats if they are only reporting this to the dean. If it happens once, it can happen again and the victim should report it to the police so that there is a public record. Victims do not have to press charges unless they choose to, but having a precedence could help a potential additional victim. How can campus police be expected to do their jobs to the highest extent that they can if they are not given all the information on illegal happenings on campus? Let’s say 20 students are sexually assaulted and only two go to the police, how are police to know about this staggering problem? What would happen if the same student raped multiple people? And victims only reported to the Dean of Students Office? How can police protect students if they’re kept in the dark and handcuffed by policy? If someone reports that kind of serious allegation, the dean should be required to send it to the police. — Michelle A. Monroe is a journalism senior.

Pearce recall indicates flippant voter behaviors Storm Byrd Daily Wildcat

f you don’t know who Russell Pearce is, or if you don’t know what SB 1070 is, you’re either incredibly ignorant about your surroundings or you’re an out of state freshman. The Arizona Senate President Pearce has been recalled, and now faces a special election for his seat. Among those running against him in the recall election is Olivia Cortes, a naturalized American citizen for some 40 years. Cortes, who describes herself as not being a politician by trade, has been accused of being a sham candidate who is only running to steal votes from the antiPearce voters so that it inhibits Republican candidate Jerry Lewis’s chances. However, after legal filings were made to have her removed from the ballot, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Edward Burke refused to bar her. Burke said that there is nothing to suggest she isn’t sincere about her candidacy. Burke says that anyone who contends her motives ought to express that through the

ballot box and not through the courts. One can’t help but agree. But are voters actually competent enough to identify a sham? Voters are constantly discarded and disregarded as ignorant and ill-informed. To be honest, what have they done to prove otherwise? When the excrement “hits the fan” so to speak, the huddled masses jump ship and climb on board with the next best thing. If a candidate shows even the slightest sign of instability or has a subtle misstep, even their most adamant supporters flee and chime in for the opposition. That’s what we’re witnessing with the Pearce recall. Don’t mistake this as some sort of defense for Pearce, it’s just very interesting that a man who stomped his competition by winning the district 18 race and gathering 57 percent of the vote is being recalled. His closest competitor, Andrew Sherwood, garnered only 34 percent. So how is it that a man who just under a year ago easily locked up his seat is on the ballot again? How is it that in less than a year, all faith

Playing race card is a cheap trick

In response to “Mailbag” (Sept. 28 issue): I am responding to Maria Teresa Velez’s (letter) in which it states grad school is still a great option. I agree that (a) grad degree is greater than (a) bachelor’s and associate degree, but I was wondering whether the benefit is from education or other factors. Yes, statistics shows that the mean income of people holding a grad degree is higher. Is the higher income resulting from the education or other factors? Take MBA, for example. Many students taking the MBA are already at management level, earning higher income. The demand of the grad degree is likely lower than the supply. Many companies are not willing to pay the mean salary to new grads or even hire them because they do not have experience. Because of the low (employment) rate, people are going for graduate education. When more people are going to graduate education, in a few years, the master degree is likely to be equivalent to high school diploma. The next generation has to spend more years in school than we do but (will) not necessary get benefits out of it. Now, the economy and education do not talk to each other a lot. Our focus should be to improve the education and economy.

has been lost? He’s the senate president, who many Republicans championed for his persistence in passing SB 1070, yet his job is on the line again. It’s all because voters change their mindsets like seasonal attire. Last fall Pearce was all the rage, but now he’s cast out like last year’s fashion. How is it that confidence has faded so immediately? One year is a pretty rapid time to lose faith no matter how you spin it. How much can you honestly screw up or achieve in one year when everything you do as a politician is calculated and bartered countless times before any actual action is taken. All in all, voters are so very fickle and it honestly shouldn’t come as a surprise that there might be a sham candidate. If someone is so quick to hop on board with Lewis maybe they’ll do the same for Cortes and dilute the support of Lewis. Meanwhile, the people who have long standing problems with Pearce will recognize and vote for the candidate they actually have faith in as a replacement for Pearce. This recall election is indicative that Americans not only have little faith in the election process, but those that vote have limited patience in the candidates too. That inhibits the process further from being successful.

ow tolerant can the Republicans be when they are repeatedly called racists? It’s safe to say that we have made great strides in eradicating racism throughout our history. Of course, there will always be white supremacist groups, neoNazis and those that hate, but as a whole, this nation is an accepting one. We have diligently worked to overcome the stereotypical ideologies that have limited us in the past. One doesn’t have to look that far back to see we were living in a different time just four or five decades ago. Because we have come so far, one would think, and hope, that the days of playing the race card are over. Sadly, that is not the case. Although race should not impact anything that occurs in the political arena, the issue of race still comes up. There are those who will go to great lengths to play on someone’s guilt for living in a society that once tolerated racism. Recently, Janeane Garofalo, a stand-up comedian and actress, accused others of discrimination and intolerance. During an interview with Keith Olbermann, Garofalo

came out and accused those who support Republican Presidential Candidate Herman Cain of being racist. Specifically, Garofalo said, “Herman Cain is probably well-liked by some of the Republicans because it hides the racist elements of the Republican Party, the conservative movement and Tea Party movement — one in the same. People like Karl Rove liked to keep the racism very covert. And so Herman Cain provides this great opportunity so that you can say ‘Look, this is not a racist, anti-immigrant, anti-female, anti-gay movement. Look, we have a black man.’” People like Garofalo play the blame game. They have to criticize conservatives somehow and Garofalo has found a way to do that by labeling the GOP as prejudice bigots. Anyone that pays even a bit of attention knows that there have been, and continue to be, top leaders coming from the Republican Party who are black. In recent times, Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael

“Because we have come so far, one would think, and hope, that the days of playing the race card are over. Sadly, that is not the case.” Steele, all black, have represented the Republican Party. For Garofalo to pick on Herman Cain to gain attention is ridiculous. If anybody has listened to Herman Cain, he is arguably one of the most intelligent nominees running for the GOP presidential nominee seat. He is one of the few candidates that provide solutions to problems without even mentioning or thinking about racial motivation. If Cain suspected racism in the GOP, he would be the first to address it. The people making these comments don’t necessarily care how ignorant they sound. They will do anything to have their voices heard. Our society has no room for racist comments and the people of this country continue to prove that every day. —Joshua Segall is a management information systems senior.

Police Beat By Rebecca Rillos Daily Wildcat

Anti-military man goes on long tirade A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to South Hall around noon on Wednesday in response to a U.S. Marine who was harassed while in uniform on campus. The Marine, who is also a UA student, told the officer he had been waiting at the bus stop near the Meinel Optical Sciences building around 10 a.m. when a man he had never seen before approached him. The man saluted the Marine and yelled, “Oil for babies, fuckers!” He then sat down on a bench opposite the Marine. A few minutes later, the man yelled, “What you’re doing is wrong! I hope you die and I hope your family dies! You’re gonna die! You monkey, your family is going to die! I hope your father dies! I hope you go overseas and get buried in the sand! You monkey, your reign of evil will come to an end and a new way will come!” The man shouted that freedom of speech allowed him to say these things. The Marine said he was surprised by the man’s anger and asked him what he was talking about. The man said, “You know exactly what this is about,” and then got on the bus and left. The Marine told the officer he wanted the incident documented, but did not wish to participate in the prosecutorial process. The man matched the description of a non-UA affiliated man who was detained by UAPD officers on Sept. 24. He told one of the officers, “Your reign of terror is coming to an end.” Officers were informed that the man likes to provoke law enforcement into violating his civil rights so he can sue.

$2,000 bike jacked A UAPD officer spoke with a UA employee over the phone on Wednesday in reference to a stolen bike. The man said he had secured his Trek black mountain bike to the racks at the Gould-Simpson building the day before with a cable lock. When he returned at 2 a.m. on Wednesday, his bike and lock were gone. The man estimated the bike to be worth $2,000 and the lock to be around $30. He was unable to provide a serial number for the bike. Victim’s rights forms were mailed to the man. There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Arms down A UAPD officer was completing a security check in the Highland Avenue Parking Garage on Wednesday when he noticed a car with its emergency flashers on and the driver standing by the car near the southwest entrance. The traffic entry gate arm was on the ground behind the vehicle. The officer spoke to the driver, a UA professor, who said he had been entering the garage about 10 minutes earlier when he heard loud thuds behind him. The gate arm had come down on the back of his car and fell to the ground. The impact left dents and white scrape marks on the back of the man’s car. The man said the garage is his usual parking location and he entered using a Parking and Transportation Services issued automatic identification device. The officer photographed the scene and notified UA Risk Management of the incident.

Lost wallet A UAPD officer spoke with a woman over the phone on Wednesday who reported that she had lost her wallet in the Sixth Street Parking Garage. The woman said she lost her wallet in the garage between 7 and 8 p.m. The wallet is a black, men’s wallet and contains the woman’s driver’s license, CatCard, debit card, health insurance card and $20 cash. She called the bank and canceled the debit card. There is no further information.

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.

An island of fun, partying, cannabis Yesterday is Columbus Day. How does that reflect on your major? Christopher Columbus discovered America, and yeah, he’s big on geography. Do you think you know more about geography than Columbus did? Well yeah, he thought it was like, well, I forgot what he thought it was — something completely different (laughs).

Fair enough. He was kind of an idiot, but he was very curious.

Are you as curious as he was, or do you think we’ve pretty much discovered everything? We’ve discovered everything here. By here, do you mean just in terms of land? Yeah. And there’s plenty of stuff to learn about geography, though. Whether it’s global warming, stuff like that. So if you discovered your own island, what would you name it? Luke’s Island. What would take place on this island? Partying. Fun. Hell yeah. What kind of plants would you like to have on your island? Cannabis plants.

fast facts • Velociraptors, unlike the ones in “Jurassic Park,” only reached heights of around two or three feet. • It is thought that velociraptors were feathered, though this is not confirmed completely. • Velociraptors were not as

smart as Hollywood might have us think. In fact, they were about as dumb as a newborn kitten. • Cold-blooded lizards aren’t known for pursuing and attacking prey; it is probable that the velociraptor was warm-blooded.

Arizona center Kyle Quinn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First two drives started out a little slow, but then we really picked it up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a lot of fun to play in that game in the second half.

After facing four consecutive perennial powerhouses, the Wildcats get a drop-off in competition this Saturday with an equally woeful Beavers team. Like the Wildcats, Oregon State sits at the bottom of its Pac-12 division at 0-2. The Beavers are winless in 2011 after falling to Sacramento State 29-28 to kick off the season and losing to Wisconsin, UCLA and ASU thereafter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re as desperate as we are for a win,â&#x20AC;? Stoops said. Oregon State did, however, play ASU tight last weekend as the Beavers jumped out to a 13-0 lead and were within one point midway through the third quarter before the Sun Devils took control. And the Wildcats are well aware that with the way theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing defensively, any team can beat them. Arizona gave up 564.8 yards per game in its last four contests. On Saturday, 468 passing yards from USC quarterback Matt Barkley contributed to the totals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They got us going one way and came back the other way,â&#x20AC;? said freshman defensive tackle Saneilia Fuimaono. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just keep filtering through their plays and just getting us on the little mistakes. We were just one step behind and they were one step ahead.â&#x20AC;?

Woods burned him for an easy touchdown catch. Stoops said that the solutions to his problems are not rocket science. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(He just has) to play better,â&#x20AC;? Stoops said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be more consistent at practice and everything he does. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing with him, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a great play and then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a play that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lacking consistency, but I think he has a lot of talent as a player.â&#x20AC;? In terms of the unit as a whole, defensive tackle Saneilia Fuimaono didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that the defense would be struggling as much as they had been before the season started. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surprising,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it happens. With the game of football, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always road blocks that come our way. We always hit a few speed bumps, but the main thing is to just stay on our course getting better everyday.â&#x20AC;?

Arizona has become the Pac-12 punching bag, ranking last in nearly every major defensive category, including scoring defense, total defense, rushing defense, pass efficiency defense and sacks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to play defense like this and expect to win,â&#x20AC;? Stoops said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the most disappointing part of it all is just that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been very good defensively and guys we relied on to make plays havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really made plays for us, and we need those guys to step up and be accountable and be better players. Hopefully that will happen this week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it does, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a great opportunity to win,â&#x20AC;? Stoops added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we continue to play like this, then we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any chance to win.â&#x20AC;? Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense remains one of the top units in the Pac-12. Quarterback Nick Foles has been stellar all season, and he received a huge boost in the running game against the Trojans as the Wildcats rushed for 129 yards and two scores. But the offense can only do so much. Arizona needs its defense to hold up its end of the bargain in a game that could remind the Wildcats what it feels like to win and kick-start a second-half run. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big,â&#x20AC;? said senior center Kyle Quinn of Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a dog fight. Both teams are going to be hungry for wins. Both programs need wins. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re both on losing streaks so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big game on Saturday.â&#x20AC;?

Braun shines in postseason Mcclatchy tribune

PHOENIX â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Ryan Braun was born to be a headliner, not a warmup act. With the Milwaukee Brewers in the national spotlight during majorleague baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s postseason, folks around the country are witnessing what denizens of Brewer Nation have known for years: Braun is something special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen these stretches from him where you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any better,â&#x20AC;? said manager Ron Roenicke, whose club will take a 2-0 advantage in the National League Division Series against Arizona into Game 3 on Tuesday night at Chase Field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First month of the season, incredible. Hitting .380 and 10 homers. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many RBI but stealing bases, making great plays on defense (actually, .367 with 10 HRs and 23 RBI). Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen him like this, not just then but a couple of other times during the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy, when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeling strong, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty hard to stop him.â&#x20AC;? The Diamondbacks certainly had no luck in that regard in the first two games of the NLDS. Braun went 6 for 8 (.750) with two doubles, a home run, three RBI, four runs scored and a 1.375 slugging percentage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ryan has been our impact guy,â&#x20AC;? said rightfielder Corey Hart. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has stepped up his game. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helped us as a team. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big reason weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re 2-0. You see he wants the big situation, we like to give it to him.â&#x20AC;? It certainly is no surprise that Braun would rise to the occasion, given his tremendous performance during the regular season. The leftfielder batted .332 with 33 home runs, 111 RBI, 109 runs scored, 33 stolen bases, a .397 on-base percentage and .597 slugging percentage, tops in the NL.

Tom Lynn/Milwaukee Journal Sentinel/MCT

Ryan Braun with a broken bat single in the Miluwakee Brewersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 4-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks at Miller Park in Milwaukee, Wisc., on Saturday.

Braun became only the second 30/30 player in Brewers history and is the favorite in the eyes of many to claim NL most valuable player honors, particularly after being named the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s player of the month for September. The 27-year-old southern California native had several huge hits down the stretch, including a threerun homer against Florida the night the Brewers clinched their first NL Central crown. But many players shine in the regular season, only to wilt once the postseason comes around. Then, there are players such as Braun, who relish and embrace the opportunity to perform with more on the line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love it,â&#x20AC;? Braun said Tuesday before the Brewers took the field for a late-afternoon workout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve said it many times. This is what you live for; this is what you work for. You work to play meaningful games, down the stretch in September and into October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about playing meaningless games in spring training and the beginning of April. The reason you put your work in is to hope to get

an opportunity to play meaningful games, to have an opportunity to do something that means a lot to your team, your organization, to the city you play in.â&#x20AC;? Those who have played with Braun for years have come to expect him to shine in the clutch. He socked game-winning home runs down the stretch in 2008, including the decisive blow on the final day of the season when the Brewers beat the Cubs, 3-1, to claim the NL wild-card berth and end a 26-year playoff drought. Those playing with Braun for the first time, such as pitcher Zack Greinke, barely raise an eyebrow when he does something big. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been consistent the whole time,â&#x20AC;? Greinke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole season he has put up good atbats. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even been in a slump; maybe a three-game slump or something. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he gets hot, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a little hotter than he normally is. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really good, because just when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal is better than most people when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hot sometimes.â&#x20AC;?

recruiting and rallying her troops into competing every outing. However, Arizona will be under the microscope for the remainder of the season. Being winless at the midway point of the season is simply unacceptable. The culture must change. The future of the soccer program seems bright because of 15 underclassmen currently on the roster, along with a recruiting class that features two top-100 recruits, according

to TopDrawerSoccer.com. Until the team starts winning some games, however, saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the future is brightâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;the program is rebuildingâ&#x20AC;? will be repetitive and excusatory. At what point does the rebuilding end? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Zack Rosenblatt is a junior studying journalism and Italian. He can be reached at sports@wildcat.arizona.edu.

Q What are the effects of

drinking and using Adderall?

A . stimulant medication typically used to treat AttentionAdderall is a controlled substance and prescription

The Bear Down Times

Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). It helps people with ADHD focus and maintain attention to work and study more effectively. Adderall, Vyvanse, Ritalin (methylphenidate), and all other prescribed ADHD medications are legally classified as Schedule II drugs because, although they have been approved for medical use, they have a high potential for abuse and misuse. Current research on interaction effects of alcohol and these stimulants are limited but clear on one point: when mixing alcohol with commonly prescribed doses of methylphenidate, our body naturally converts this drug combination into a new substance (i.e., a psychoactive metabolite) called ethylphenidate. While the effects of low doses of ethylphenidate are currently unknown, high doses of alcohol and ethylphenidate are reported to be toxic. Further, this drug combination reduces one’s perception of drunkenness while increasing stimulant euphoria. This distortion in thinking and emotion makes users more prone to make unsafe decisions while under the influence. Although Adderall and other Schedule II stimulants are considered safe for medical use, no drugs are entirely free of side effects. Talk with your doctor if you are taking a prescribed ADHD medication and are considering using alcohol. Side effects of improper use of stimulants such as Adderall can include irritability, restlessness, increased heart rate, headache, aggression, insomnia, and seizures; overdoses can be fatal. The Food and Drug Administration gave all ADHD stimulant medications a “black box” warning (their strongest warning) because of their potential for abuse, dependence, serious heart problems, and death. Mixing these stimulants with alcohol can be risky. 87% of UA students reported no use of unprescribed ADD medications in the past year. (2011 Health & Wellness Survey, n=2,487)

DESPERATE FOR A WIN Arizona football at a crossroads as they face equally-hungry Oregon State squad this week By Mike Schmitz Daily Wildcat

Time is running out. With five games and four losses in the books and the 2011 season evaporating, Arizona’s chances of making a fourth consecutive bowl game are quickly fading. Winning the Pac12 South is almost all but out the window and the Wildcats are in desperation mode as they head to Corvallis, Ore., to take on Oregon State on Saturday. “It’s pretty desperate right now in a lot of situations,” said head coach Mike Stoops on Monday. “To have any chance to win the South, I think you’ve got to pretty much run the table. I know there are a lot of teams that have a lot of losses on their side but Arizona State, I don’t

think has any. But we just need to worry about Oregon State and do what we need to do to win any game.” It’s been awhile since Arizona’s earned a notch in the win column against an FBS opponent — 11 months and four days to be exact. After defeating FCS opponent NAU 41-10 to open the season, the Wildcats dropped four straight games to Oklahoma State, Stanford, Oregon and USC to move to 1-4 overall and 0-3 in the Pac-12. Losing has become the norm for the Wildcats, which players and coaches are out to change this weekend. “Losing creates doubt, and you can’t win if you have doubt and lack of belief and all the things you need to win because there’s a physical part of it but it’s more important mentally to understand how to play this

Coach jokes that team will hold ‘open tryouts’ for kickers By Dan Kohler Daily Wildcat

Alex Zendejas missed back-toback extra points against the USC Trojans on Saturday, but according to UA head coach Mike Stoops, the senior will get the starting nod against Oregon State this weekend. “We might have an open tryout here before long,” Stoops joked during his Monday press conference. It got so bad last week against USC that Stoops eventually decided to go for a 2-point conversion

— which the Wildcats converted — instead of going for the extra point. In fact, Stoops said Monday that if the Wildcats were able to score the touchdown to bring Saturday’s game within a point, he would have decided to go for two and the win. He added that going for two every time is not an ideal situation for the future, no matter how poor the kickers are playing. The Wildcats have looked at kickoff man John Bonano having a shot at trying field goals and extra points, but Stoops noted that Bonano’s accuracy and consistency would need improvement before he would be considered an option.

Wildcat defensive tackle Justin Washington will be out while he recovers from a minor knee surgery, Stoops said. Optimistically, Washington will be back to play UCLA on Oct. 20. Washington didn’t play last week at USC and hasn’t been effective so far this season after coming off a Freshman All-American year in 2010. Stoops said that part of the reason for Washington’s diminished play has to do with a lingering knee problem. “I think it was bothering him a little bit,” Stoops said. “He (hasn’t been) at full strength where he needed to be.”

An offense on the rise brings hope Nick Foles’ numbers stayed consistent and the team ran for a season-high 129 yards on Saturday against USC. With a better blocking set up front, the Arizona running backs were able to find the gaps and capitalize to move the ball downfield. Contributions from tight end and H-back Drew Robinson and H-back Taimi Tutogi, as well as the improving offensive line play, added a new dynamic to a previously one-dimensional offense. “You can only control what you can, and I thought as an offense we

n October of 2009, an Arizona Daily Wildcat article titled “Without change, soccer will fall” questioned the Arizona soccer team’s losing culture following a trend of players leaving the team at an alarming rate. Almost two years to the day it was published, with the Wildcats holding a 0-9-2 record, that headline might still hold true, at least in terms of the success on the field. After tying Colorado 2-2 on Friday and losing on Sunday to Utah, the team is still winless one game past the midway point of the season. Soon after that 2009 article was published, then-head coach Dan Tobias resigned in the middle of the season, leaving the team’s assistant coaches to pick up the pieces. One of those assistant coaches, Lisa Oyen, is now the head coach. “We focus on the things we’re doing well,” Oyen said following Sunday’s 3-1 loss to Utah. Therein lies the problem. It’s a coach’s duty to motivate players, and I do believe that’s Oyen’s intention. But how can a program get away from this losing culture if the focus in the locker room is on the positives for a team that has yet to win a game? How many positives can there be? This season, Arizona has been outscored 26-5 and outshot by nearly nine shots per game. Before this past weekend, the team was outscored 21-2. The low point of the season came against the No. 1 Stanford Cardinal, when the Wildcats lost 7-0, and were outshot 29-9 and 20-0 in the

first half alone. Dating back to last season, Arizona has lost 17 of its last 20 games, and two of those non-losses were the two ties from this season. When Arizona tied Texas Tech 0-0 a few weeks ago, there seemed to be a general sense among coaches, players and fans that it might be the turning point in the season — things were going to get better. There was a sense of joy, and that’s understandable considering the team was 0-7 prior to that game. Any sort of positivity was a good thing. But the fact that a team has reached the point where it’s OK with a nonloss, as opposed to being disappointed with a non-victory, is concerning. On Oct. 3, 2009, the Arizona Wildcats held a lackluster 3-7-1 overall record at this point in the season. That team went on to finish the season 4-15 overall amidst the turmoil resulting from a coaching change and mass exodus from

Women’s basketball eyes NCAA tournament bid By Kelly Hultgren Daily Wildcat

Entering her fourth season as Arizona women’s basketball head coach, Niya Butts’ expectations all lean on one goal — making the NCAA tournament. With the changes in scheduling and expansion of the Pac-12 that includes Colorado and Utah, Butts is only focusing on her Wildcats. “Arizona basketball is still going to be Arizona basketball,” Butts said. “But it’s certainly going to be different, because you don’t know what they’re going to bring at the moment, you’re trying to figure out what kind of schemes they’re going to have — how they’ll play. But you know what, we go into it playing our type of basketball, we should come out happy with the ending.”

“If we don’t come everyday to work, and to plan to outwork our opponent, we won’t get there again this year, and they understand that. I think they’re hungry .” — Niya Butts Women’s basketball head coach

For the Wildcats, the goal is the NCAA tournament, an opportunity that barely slipped out of Arizona’s grasp last year. “We’re really trying to get to the tournament,” said junior guard Davellyn Whyte. “We missed it by a couple of games, and we need to beat the ranked teams that we didn’t beat. As our team goal, we all want to get to the big tournament this year.”

Last season, the Wildcats finished fourth in the conference with a record of 21-12. Over the past three seasons as head coach, Butts has revitalized the women’s basketball program. The proof is in the numbers. In the 2008-09 season, the Wildcats won 12 games, and their record improved in 2009-10 with 14 wins and then in 2010-11 with 21 wins. It was the most wins for the team since the 2003-04 season. In her fourth season, Butts continues to set the bar higher. “I told them 21 wins is not enough,” Butts said. “Clearly, we didn’t get into the NCAA tournament. That’s obviously our goal. If we don’t come everyday to work, and to plan to outwork our opponents, we won’t get there again this year, and they understand that. I think they’re hungry.”

Whyte acknowledged the even higher expectations of the team. “Last year we picked it up, so this year I can say it’s kind of expected for us to at least meet the same standards we did last year.” Yesterday marked the team’s first official practice of the season, where the six new players got their first chance to practice with the returners. “They are all playing pretty well right now — very talented, but again, thinking every second, and we gotta’ get them to react and not think so much,” Butts said of the new faces. “We are super athletic, but boy you can tell it’s the first day,” Butts said. “Nerves are a little bit shaky, but they’re working hard. We feel Colin Prenger/Daily Wildcat really good about what we have, we just got to put it all in the right Head coach Niya Butts addresses her team yesterday during practice. place.”
