Facebook may take over email Google could be ousted by social media site as largest worldwide provider
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE Facebook may be on the verge of offering email to the 500 million members of its social-networking site, making it the largest email service on the planet. More significantly, the offering could lead to a fundamental transformation of email. Yahoo, Google and Microsoft are already scrambling to retool their email services to build them more around people’s social connections. Facebook would have a tremendous advantage, because it owns a vast trove of data about people’s relationships and would find it easier to graft email onto its existing
social services, such as photo-sharing. If it is announced, a Facebook email service would allow its more than 500 million members to communicate with anyone inside or outside the walls of the social network. If they use it, Facebook would leapfrog the 361 million global users of Windows Live Hotmail, Yahoo Mail’s 273 million users and Gmail’s 193 million users, according to comScore. However, a Facebook email service would be most remarkable not for the size of its network, but for how it could use its web of social connections to transform one of the oldest — and perhaps still the most important — functions of the Internet.
“There is a huge opportunity for these guys to fundamentally change the nature of email,” said Matt Cain, an analyst for the research firm Gartner who expects Facebook to unveil an external email service Monday. Imagine, Cain said, a Facebook system that could prioritize mail from any external source based on the closeness of your relationship to the sender, or that allows you to easily flip a one-to-one email exchange into a conversation with a group of friends. Facebook now offers an internal message service that is less functional than most Web-based email, and only allows members to communicate with other Facebook
accounts. But Facebook may hope to use a new external email service to capture even more adherents, said Augie Ray, senior analyst for social computing for Forrester Research. Forrester says that while about 90 percent of U.S. adults check email regularly, only 59 percent use social networking tools such as Facebook or Twitter. By adding email to the Internet’s most popular photo-sharing service, smartphone location-sharing service and social gaming site, Facebook would make an even stronger claim as a hub of personal communications, placing FACEBOOK, page 10
Brown baggin’ it for homeless
Graduate students pack lunches for hungry Tucsonans By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Graduate students recognized National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week by making sandwiches for the homeless on Saturday. The National Coalition for the Homeless sponsors the awareness week near Thanksgiving each year. Schools and communities are encouraged to organize events that raise awareness and benefit local organizations. Residents in the La Aldea Graduate and Professional Student Apartments made and donated 300 bagged lunches to Casa Maria, a Catholic organization that provides food, clothing and support services for the poor and homeless. According to Casa Maria, they serve lunch to 600 individuals and give food bags to 200 families each day. La Aldea staff organized the event as one of the hall’s service programs. “The idea is very simple,” said Rebecca Covarrubias, community resident assistant at La Aldea and a psychology graduate student, “it encourages residents to volunteer more.” The event also served to unite the La Aldea HOMELESS, page 5

Transgendered community celebrated on campus Pride Alliance, administration organize events for awareness By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The UA’s fifth annual Transgender Awareness Week brings light to transgender issues on the heels of a new Residence Life gender-inclusive housing initiative. The week includes workshops, plays, movies, forums and resource fairs in order to educate students on a group of the LGTBQ — lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual and questioning — community that is maybe not as well understood as others in the community, according to Jennifer Hoefle, director of LGBTQ Affairs in the Dean of Students Office. “What makes this different (than Coming Out Week) is that this week is built around transgender identities,” Hoefle said. “People tend to know less about transgender issues than about gay and lesbian issues.” Jai Smith, student co-director of Pride Alliance and a sociology senior, felt the differences between Coming Out Week and Transgender Awareness Week were distinct and deliberate. “The reason we do a transgender week,” Smith said, “is because: 1) Transgender Awareness Week is something that happens in the Tucson community and bringing some of the events to the U of A campus

States studying, banning Four Loko MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
Kansas liquor officials are taking a hard look at a strong drink that’s been banned in three states. The drink, called Four Loko, mixes the caffeine of an energy drink and the alcohol content of wine in a 23.5-ounce can that sells for about $2 at local liquor stores. One can contains the alcohol equivalent of a nearly full bottle of wine, combined with the caffeine of three cups of coffee. Michigan and Washington have banned the malt beverage and similar products after reports that the mixture caused blackouts and, in one case, a heart attack, among college-age drinkers. Oklahoma is phasing the drink out of its stores, allowing liquor stores to sell their remaining stock but prohibiting further supplies from being brought into the state. Freda Warfield, a spokeswoman for the Kansas Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, said Kansas officials have had no reports of incidents related to the beverage. But they are closely monitoring the situation in other states and an ongoing investigation FOUR LOKO, page 10

What was your favorite childhood cartoon? I used to watch “The Big Comfy Couch.” I don’t think it’s a cartoon though. Did you ever watch “Kim Possible”? Heck yeah, that’s my stepmom’s texting ringtone, the little song thing. Can you relate your life (to) Kim Possible in any way? Yeah, anything is possible. Duh! How do you feel about Miley Cyrus? A lot of people have strong opinions about her; do you think she’s becoming too provocative for all her young fans? Well, I remember when I met her and I was like, ‘Damn this girl is not nice,’ but I just think she’s trying to get out of the Disney little phase. She’s trying to grow up. But she’s only 18. Yeah, but I’m 18. I grew up. Who is a role model for you? I would have to say Jackie O. because she is pretty much amazing, and if you read any of her quotes, they make you smile. Plus she’s like the best first lady that I think we have ever had because she had class and style, and she was young, and she was hot. So you don’t really get those too often. The full package, indeed. What is your favorite quote by her? Uh-oh, I think she said something about “Life’s a party” or something like that with life and a party. Jackie O. aside, what is your life quote — aka what is in the little box on your Facebook under your picture? Actually I have nothing. Oh wait, I do, oh my gosh I do, whoa. OK, it says “Be the change you want to see in the world,” by Gandhi. It’s pretty much legit. Do you believe in Buddhism? No, I’m Catholic, but I think it’s a pretty quote because if you don’t want change then you can’t complain about anything. If you want to complain then change it. What are you doing to promote change in the world? I like to help people and volunteer as much as I can, and if I see someone down, I try to change that frown in to a smile. Never frown because you never know when someone is falling in love with your smile. That is so cheesy. No it’s not, it’s cute. What is the biggest change you’ve experienced in your freshman year? I’ve just realized that drama is so overrated and so unnecessary. You should just roll with the people you know are real and kick it with them. Yeah, I’m just gonna do me. You are just gonna do you? Exactly. If people don’t like me the way I am, sucks to be them. I’m going to just do me.

Consumers want to smell like Lady Gaga
Perfume fans will soon be able to anoint themselves with the scent of Gaga anytime they choose. That’s Lady Gaga, silly. Coty Inc., a leading global beauty company, announced that it has signed the pop superstar to develop and market her first-ever signature fragrance. The company, which has created celebrity fragrances for Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker and Beyonce Knowles, hopes being associated with Lady Gaga will produce the most attractive aroma of all: the smell
of money. “Lady Gaga’s universal appeal makes her a subject of fascination. A force like no other, Lady Gaga is explosive, provocative and sexy, three traits which pave the way for an extraordinary fragrance experience for consumers,” is how Coty CEO Bernd Beetz put it. The yet-to-be-named fragrance line is expected to launch in spring 2012, and Lady Gaga will be creative director with the help of her team. Although the casual observer might consider celebrity fragrances
to be quick cash-in deals, fashion writers say that’s not always the case — especially in recent years. “I think Jennifer Lopez really changed things,” said Sadie Stein, a contributing editor for Jezebel. com. “She had a good scent and it was not just a novelty. Plus, she had a big hand in it. Same with Sarah Jessica Parker. I expect Lady Gaga will also be involved.” However, Stein admits there are some celebs who may not have much to do with the making of their signature colognes. —AOL News

Paul Taylor Dance Co. returns to UA UApresents brings powerful modern dance troupe to Centennial Hall By Dallas Williamson ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT In the midst of the holiday season — with the passing of Veteran’s Day and Thanksgiving and winter vacation right around the corner — UApresents is giving audiences yet another cause for celebration: the Paul Taylor Dance Company. The company’s namesake and founder, choreographer Paul Taylor, can be considered something of a veteran himself. Acknowledged as one of the pillars of modern dance, Taylor first debuted his work in the spring of 1954. From the very beginning, Taylor began to make a name for himself as being something of a dancing revolutionary. Using the art of dance as an outlet to express his observations and ideas, the stage was often the

arena from where he would tackle complex and controversial topics. Although his dances often center on poignant themes, Taylor’s pure and simplistic style of movement, along with his striking inventiveness, are at the heart of what has garnered Taylor exceptional praise throughout the years. Powered by grace and athleticism, his work celebrates the beauty and strength of the human form and brings magnificence to the simple gestures of daily life. Now in its 56th year of performance, the company has performed in over 520 cities in 62 countries, including Tucson. While the Paul Taylor Dance Company is no stranger to the UA’s Centennial Hall — performing works like “Cloven Kingdom” here just two years ago — the world-renowned ensemble has different but equally tantalizing pieces planned for the evening. The company is set to perform three of Taylor’s
$8.88 most prized masterpieces: “Arden Court,” “The Word” and “Black Tuesday.” “Arden Court,” which was first performed in 1981, is one of the more tender numbers of the night, as Taylor’s choreography explores the sentiments of romance and relationships. On the other hand, “The Word,” takes audiences on a different tangent as Taylor sheds light on the powerful effects of religious conformity. Finally, “Black Tuesday,” which features famed tunes of the Great Depression, delves into the struggles many faced in the shattered American landscape of the 1930s. However, Saturday night’s performance does not truly end after the curtain closes. UApresents will lead a post-show discussion afterward. Moderated by Andy LeBeau, the company manager, and Bettie de Jong, the company’s rehearsal director, the audiences will get the opportunity to hear members of the company speak about their experiences and the the Paul Taylor Dance Company.

reen is truly what’s in. The recent passage of Proposition 203 in Arizona, and the near passage of Proposition 19 in California, have made an interesting blip on the radar and signify an unexpected acceptance of the ganja. Although Proposition 203 only allows marijuana to be used legally for medicinal purposes, it is still a clear sign of the acceptance of marijuana in the broader culture, and as some hope or fear, it is a step toward eventual legal recreational use. This was the tidal wave that many Californians were hoping to ride when they first passed California Proposition 215, and then recently attempted to pass Proposition 19. Although Proposition 19 was unsuccessful in legalizing marijuana for recreational use, it still managed to gain significant support that has encouraged many of its proponents to make the push again in the next election cycle. One thing’s for certain: Green is certainly trendy. The growth in the acceptance of marijuana usage is certainly creating enough
How did words like ‘slut’ get so OK?
paraphrase the “Towords of comedian Daniel Tosh, can we just legalize weed so that potheads don’t have anything to talk about?

”
of a buzz to make the push to legalize the drug entirely. There are now roughly 15 states that favor the usage of the drug for medical purposes, and activists in California have even expressed an interest in making the recreation legalization movement into other surrounding states. So basically, “The potheads are coming, the potheads are coming!” With that, it will be quite interesting to see the pushes for and against the usage of the drug. Will all the stereotypical marijuana smokers come out in full-fledged hippie gear, endlessly espousing that marijuana is not a drug? Look, we get it, you like weed; stop hitting us over the head with your thoughts, which should be re-categorized as ideas you came up with while high (high-deas?). On the opposite side, will hard-pressed anti-weed people come out in full force to stop those wretched, smelly, green peace/piece hippies? The possibilities just scream a re-enactment of the hippie peace movements of the Vietnam era. Although, it needs to be said that a shouting match between some teenagers who just want to have a good time, and some anti-drug folks, shouldn’t even be in the same league as the Vietnam protests. To paraphrase the words of comedian Daniel Tosh, can we just legalize weed so that potheads don’t have anything to talk about? Although the idea of having to work with someone who is taking smoking breaks with their bong does seem pretty annoying, this may work out after all. Legalizing marijuana and, dare I say, nationalizing the industry could have some seriously positive benefits for the economy. Plus, it will give us all something new to fight about in the political realm. Once it’s legalized, Democrats can talk about making it a government-run mass production and not allowing it to be grown large-scale residentially, then Republicans can start chanting keep your hands off our grass. It makes for new senseless debate, because honestly, the abortion, Iraq and Afghanistan issues are getting pretty tired. Democrats might even want to make a serious push for getting marijuana propositions on the ballot in 2012; it will certainly turn out that lacking youth demographic. On the flip side, marijuana could be an issue that stirs up such a response that it could turn out even crazier tea party candidates. The tea partiers can be mad as hell and the potheads can be high as heaven. Bring it on, 2012. — Storm Byrd is a political science sophomore. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu.

P
oor Duke University can’t avoid campus sex scandals to save its life. Just more than a month after Duke senior Karen Owen’s so-called “f#$& list,” which featured explicit descriptions and ratings of a dozen or so collegiate athletes whom Owen had slept with, was leaked on the Internet, a handful of Duke students are at it again. This time, the so-called scandal revolves around a campus fraternity. The men of Sigma Nu sent out an invitation to more than 300 female students on Oct. 30 inviting them to the fraternity’s Halloween party, according to The Chronicle, Duke’s campus newspaper. The email included some choice references to women, to put it mildly. The e-mail refers to the party’s invitees as “sluts” and congratulates them on “not having the physique to pull off Snooki this year,” referring to the somewhat plump star of MTV’s “Jersey Shore.” The email also encourages women to “put more thought into (your costumes) than your major.” The off-campus fraternity Alpha Delta Phi sent out a similar, and if anything skeezier, email that same night. That group’s invitation addressed the female recipients as “bitches, I mean witches.” It goes on to make an offcolor reference to Helen Keller and refer to a woman’s appearance as “generously … a 3,”
among other rude, offensive and just plain icky language. Both fraternities apologized for the emails when, the next morning, someone plastered the campus with copies of both messages, with the words “Is this why you came to Duke?” and “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention” handwritten across the bottom of the pages. But here’s the worst part, and the part that applies to every college student in this country: Reading this, you’re probably not very outraged at all. I wasn’t, at first. Especially on the heels of Yale University’s epically offensive “rape chant,” scandal — a fraternity on that campus forced pledges to march past women’s dorms shouting “No means yes; yes means anal” — these Duke emails seemed comparably tame. Most correspondences between men and women alike include such colorful language, and, it seems, referring to women as “sluts” and “bitches” is par for the course in college life. But to quote Tina Fey as Ms. Norbury (and because I can’t resist a “Mean Girls” quote): “You all have got to stop calling each other ‘sluts’ and ‘whores.’ It just makes it OK for guys to call you ‘sluts’ and ‘whores.’” Obviously, we’re there. We’ve reached the
point where only a few brave souls, like whoever printed out and plastered Duke with those fraternity emails, are strong enough to say that they don’t particularly appreciate being called such names. Few women would stand up for themselves if a man, especially one with some form of social clout, called them a “bitch.” Few would admit that being ruthlessly judged on their weight and appearance feels completely awful, because somehow we’ve managed to convince ourselves those judgments are fair, or at least acceptable. It feels like too much trouble to try to change the rhetoric; much easier to just accept it and pretend it doesn’t sting. This doesn’t mean I’m blaming the victim, or suggesting that only women are harassed and judged based on their appearance; they’re not alone, as Duke’s own Karen Owen made abundantly clear. But if women on college campuses want to see a true end to sexism, which we can all admit still exists in spades, especially in social structures like Greek Life, they’ve all got to get a little outraged. No one, not a man at a party, not your long-term boyfriend, not your girl or gay best friend, gets to call you a “bitch” or a “slut.” Those words mean something, something nasty and hateful. Unless you’ve really stepped back, assessed their meaning and embraced them, they’re not “reclaimed” or “re-appropriated” terms. Instead, they’re biting words that some people use to make women feel worthless and objectified. And no, in fact, they’re not OK. — Heather Price-Wright is the opinions editor of the Daily Wildcat.

Newton: Like father, like son? Brett Haupt
C
Arizona Daily Wildcat
am Newton is the starting quarterback at Auburn University, leader of the undefeated 10-0 Tigers in the mighty Southeastern Conference, single-season rushing record holder in the SEC, Heisman Trophy frontrunner in position to guide Auburn to their first national championship ever and center of a firestorm of controversy. Cecil Newton is Cam Newton’s father, a pastor at the Holy Zion Center of Deliverance in an Atlanta suburb, decision-maker for his son and solicitor of money from Mississippi State University for his son to commit there. NCAA rules specify that any solicitation of money, even if none is taken, is a rule violation that can be grounds for suspension and forfeit of wins for that player and the games he participates in. The plot thickens as a series of allegations have turned to admissions from Cecil Newton in the last week. A great number of sources have also come out of the woodwork, with fingers pointing right at Cecil Newton, and late last week, Cecil Newton admitted the allegations were true. This was no petty cash either; Cecil Newton was seeking something in the range of $100,000 to $180,000 dollars from Mississippi State University, which has since acknowledged the solicitation to NCAA investigators. Even more shocking is that there are more
allegations coming from the University of Florida, suggesting that Cam Newton, who was a member of their team in 2007 and 2008, had committed academic fraud as a student, and that was the reason for Cam Newton’s departure from Florida. Cecil Newton, it appears, is a strong influence in his son’s life, and it was he who made the decision for Cam to transfer from Florida to Blinn College in Texas, a junior college where Newton could play for a year before transferring back to Division-I football. Now comes the most curious part of all: Cam Newton was deliberating between going to Mississippi State and Auburn this year, and appeared ready to commit to Mississippi State. Dan Mullen, who is head coach of Mississippi State, was the former offensive coordinator for Florida, so he and Newton had a close relationship. Newton’s father, however, dissuaded Cam from Mississippi State and pushed him toward Auburn. Is it possible that Cam Newton really didn’t know? Did his father act alone, hoping to benefit monetarily from his son’s immense talent? With the power of hindsight, we may now well discern what really happened: Cecil Newton wanted money and Mississippi State did not deliver, so he sent his son to Auburn instead. If Cecil Newton
approached Mississippi State, why would he have not approached Auburn? Indeed, if he was soliciting money for his son to attend college, how much stock do we put in Cecil Newton’s character? What is so disturbing about this story is that, for once, we may have a kid who has done everything right, represented himself and the recruitment process with integrity, only to be undone by his greedy father. We could all hope that Cam Newton knew nothing about his father’s solicitation, but logical thought would prove this hope to be extremely fleeting. Like father like son, right? We would all hope not, but probably know better. A 20-year-old man who might not have grown up in the best economic situation, who might not have grown up in the best neighborhood, or had the best childhood influences, gets propositioned by a university. He is asked to come play ball and, in exchange, get more than just a scholarship. Can we really expect him to say no? The answer is no. We can’t expect young kids who have never had anything, to decline the opportunity to have it all. The temptation is too great, and not everyone is blessed with tremendous foresight to decline such opportunity. What we don’t expect is the father to be the perpetrator, the greed-consumed solicitor of money on his son’s behalf. Did Cam Newton know about the money? We might never know, but we should all hope that such kids would have a better example for a father than Cecil Newton. — Brett Haupt is a journalism junior.

Humanities Week prof. read-off By Bethany Barnes Arizona Daily Wildcat This week kicks off UA’s third annual Humanities Week. During Humanities Week, UA faculty and guests put on events and presentations for both UA students and the Tucson community. “These community lectures are meant to introduce the community to the wide range of disciplines,” said Pat Brooks, director of external affairs for the College of Humanities. “The wide range of research is very exciting and very relevant to so many issue and problems,” Brooks said Tucson is full of lifelong learners who appreciate the chance to come and enjoy the humanities-centered events. Last year they typically saw 60 to 90 people at an event, according to Brooks. “They (Tucson community members) think this is such a rich offering and a wonderful opportunity for Tucson,” Brooks said. The majority of the events are free. As part of Humanities Week the Daily Wildcat surveyed UA Faculty involved with Humanities Week on their reading habits.
What is a book that has had an impact on you and why? “Read (John) Milton, read the Bible. Those are tremendous. Other books — the list is long and it’s hard to think of any that are especially important, except for one called ‘Saving the Appearances’ by Owen Barfield. You’ve probably heard of C.S. Lewis, you probably haven’t heard of Owen Barfield. They were very good friends. I got to know Barfield in this country when I was a very young teacher and I visited him a few times. This was actually after Lewis was dead. He was the wisest man I’ve ever known … he’s never going to be a bestseller, but that book had a profound influence on me, perhaps also because I met him. I never met Milton, I’m not sure I ever will. If there is a heaven, I’m not sure we’re both going there, and even if we did, there might be other people I’d want to meet first.”

What are you currently reading? “‘Restored New Testament’ by Willis Barnstone. It’s the New Testament with some noncanonical gospels, and it’s an entirely new translation. I’m just reading through it, trying to get a sense of how much I like or don’t like the translation. I might use it in a class that I’m teaching.”
Ken McAllister, professor of rhetoric: What are you currently reading? “Because my research involves many disciplines, I tend to read a variety of books concurrently. In various locations around my house and various stages of consumption: Henning Nelms’ ‘Magic and Showmanship’; Mary Carruthers’ ‘The Craft of Thought: Meditation, Rhetoric, and the Making of Images (400-1200)’; Ander Monson’s ‘Vanishing Point’; Dave Tompkins’ ‘How to Wreck a Nice Beach: The Vocoder from World War II to Hip-Hop.’” What is a book that has impacted you and why? “Lucretius’ ‘De rerum natura’ (On the Nature of Things). It was transformative to me, because when I read it, (I) was trying to integrate several passions of mine — poetry, technology and rhetoric. ‘De rerum natura’ — a thrilling and beautiful epic poem — manages this very feat. As I read it, I remember realizing that poetry, technology and rhetoric weren’t disparate disciplines but tightly interconnected ones. Epiphany!”

About 40 percent of its residents are international students. “That can also mean getting together to do something to benefit the outside community,” she said. “This is one way we can contribute.” Optical sciences graduate student Julia Werra packaged cookies for the lunch bags, which also included bologna and cheese sandwiches and bananas. “I never had the chance to go (to Casa Maria) and help,” Werra said. “It’s nice to at least help out a little.” Werra is an international student from Germany and said she has benefited from the opportunity to attend the UA. “We have privilege because we can study here,” Werra said. “There are people who don’t have money, and they need support somehow.” James Tokishi, a transportation engineering graduate student who attended the event, said it was the first time he served the homeless. “They put up the little fliers all over the place,” Tokishi said. “I saw that and said, ‘OK. It sounds like something to do.’” La Aldea has held similar programs in previous years, which normally draw between 10 and

POLICEBEAT By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
Phony phone calls for fake fraud
A student received phone calls from a woman who told her that she needed to call her back because the student was a suspect in a fraud case. A University of Arizona Police Department officer met with the student on Nov. 9 at about 1:51 p.m. at the Veterinary Science and Microbiology building to speak to her about the harassing phone calls. The student said that the woman, who identified herself as Susan Jones, was calling her and accusing her of being a suspect of fraud. She told the student she wanted her to get an attorney and call her back. The student told the officer that Jones first called her on Nov. 5 and kept calling her every day until Nov. 8. The student got more upset when the calls at her office number at the Veterinary Science and Microbiology building did not stop. Two messages were left on her voicemail at work. The voicemails warned the student that if she did not call the woman back, she would call the police and have them arrest her. The student gave the officer the phone number she had been called from. The officer called the number back and spoke with a man who would not identify himself. He claimed that the reason he was calling the student was because Jones suspected the student had committed a fraud against her. The student said she was never involved in any fraud. The man told the officer that his office was in Tampa, Fla., where he worked together with Jones, and that there was a bad reception on the telephone. The man hung up before giving the officer any details of the fraud. The officer called back within seconds, but the man hurriedly said Jones would call him back soon. Once the officer got back to the UAPD station, he called the phone number back. The man answered and told the officer that Jones would contact him once she was available. After two hours, when neither of them called back, the officer called the same phone number again and it was no longer in service. The student said she had no idea how her phone number and work number were obtained by the man or Jones. She also said she didn’t have any problems with any of her bank accounts being accessed without her permission. The officer ran a check on the phone number associated with Jones and the man, and it returned as an area code from New York, not from Tampa. The student told the officer she wanted to document the calls and have them stopped.
Cable lock users clearly don’t read Police Beat
A student had his bicycle stolen sometime between 2 and 3:15 p.m. on Nov. 9. He reported it, and spoke to a UAPD officer of the details. He said he locked his bicycle to the first row of the bicycle racks on the north side of the César E. Chávez building. It was a mountain bike, and red and orange in color. He had new chains and tires on the bicycle. The student said he had locked it with a cable lock, which went through the frame and front tire of the bike. He could not provide a serial number. The bicycle was not registered with Parking and Transportation Services. There are no suspects or witnesses.
That’s one way to get a ride home
A UAPD officer assisted Tucson Fire Department with a woman who fell off her bicycle on Nov. 9 at 4:52 p.m. The woman hit her head on the pavement and suffered a minor cut to the back of her head. She was transported to her home at her own request, after paramedics from TFD assessed that the cut did not require stitching. The officer drove the woman to her residence and her bicycle was placed into safekeeping at UAPD.

A man was arrested for being a minor in possession of alcohol on Nov. 7. He was cited and released after being caught walking around the outside of Apache-Santa Cruz Residence Hall completely naked. At 2:34 a.m., an officer went to the area and met with a student who told him that he saw the man walking around in the nude. The student said that he and a friend both saw him walking alongside the east side of La Paz Residence Hall. He called the police while two of his friends saw the naked man walk over to a group of individuals sitting at a bench by the basketball courts. He put his clothes back on once he reached the bench. The officer approached the man as he started to walk away from the bench, with his clothing now back on. The witness confirmed that it was the man he had seen naked. The man denied walking around naked, yet both of the other two students said they were “100 percent sure” he was the man they saw. They added that they saw his penis, but declined to press charges. The man denied walking down the sidewalk naked and said he was just in the area visiting a friend. While he talked with the officer, the smell of alcohol was coming from his breath. He denied drinking alcohol, but a blood aclohol content breath test showed a positive presence of alcohol. The man was arrested for minor in possession of alcohol in body. He was warned about his behavior and was released. Police said that although the man would not confirm the officer’s suspicions, he believes the man was getting naked as part of a dare from his friends that were sitting on the bench.

Trojans pound Wildcats On a different on the ground level
Trojans’ game plan digs Wildcats into even deeper hole with 24-21 loss
COMMENTARY BY Tim Kosch sports editor
Tim Glass/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Linebacker Paul Vassallo, No. 41, misses a tackle on Southern California wide receiver Ronald Johnson, No. 83, in Arizona’s 24-21 loss on Saturday at Arizona Stadium. The Wildcats’ tackling woes kept them from stopping the Trojans throughout the game as USC racked up more than 37 minutes of offense.
By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Two weeks ago, Arizona’s front seven was one of the most feared in the nation, holding opponents to 88.4 yards rushing per game. But for the second consecutive week, Arizona’s once-stout run defense was MIA and en route to a 24-21 loss to Southern California at Arizona Stadium on Saturday. “That was really the difference in the game, their ability to run,” head coach Mike Stoops said after the game. “There was no trickery involved really, they just lined up and pounded us pretty good.” One week after yielding 217 rushing yards and four scores at Stanford, the Wildcats were once again exposed on the ground, surrendering 205 yards. Marc Tyler rushed for 160 yards and the Trojans held the ball for 37:27. “Marc (Tyler), he was just very physical,” Stoops said. “I thought they got good vertical push at the point of attack. When he gets
downhill, he’s a big physical guy. He ran well all night.” The Wildcats have now given up a combined 422 rushing yards and six rushing scores on the ground in their last two contests after yielding only 707 yards and four scores through the first eight. “It’s disappointing to give up another 200 yards again especially because we take pride in our run defense,” said linebacker Paul Vassallo. “We were doing so well early in the season and in the last couple games we’ve struggled.” Although Arizona mostly beat itself with its inability to get off the field defensively, the offense struggled to convert scoring opportunities. On the game’s opening drive, Alex Zendejas pushed a 34-yard field goal attempt wide right and it was off to the races for USC, who scored on the very next possession. Arizona had a chance to answer back, but USC sacked quarterback Nick Foles and forced a fumble that it recovered at the Wildcats’ 22-yard-line, leading to a 7-yard
touchdown pass from Matt Barkley to Rhett Ellison. From that point on Arizona was forced to become one-dimensional, as it trailed 14-0 with no established run game. Foles went on to throw for 353 yards and three scores, including a 5-yard pass to Douglas to start off the second quarter and a 31-yard bomb to Travis Cobb that left Arizona down 21-14 going into the break. But the Trojans sustained drives lasting as long as nine minutes and Arizona’s defense couldn’t get off of the field due to its inability to stop the run. “We needed the defense to get off the field and get our offense back on the field with good field position and we weren’t really able to do that tonight,” said safety Adam Hall, who collected his first career interception. Even when the offense did get the ball, they continued to struggle finishing drives. The Wildcats had a chance to tie things up early in the third quarter, but a Douglas fumble at the USC 15 negated a
scoring opportunity. Foles did his job, and receivers Terrence Miller (seven catches, 117 yards), Juron Criner (six catches, 98 yards) and Douglas (six catches, 44 yards, two touchdowns) stepped up. But it came down to Arizona getting stops defensively, which it simply couldn’t do. “We’ve got to play better as a team,” Stoops said. “Offense, defense, special teams, I don’t think we’ve played well the last two weeks.”

Arizona Hoops dominates Bengals wins by a in season opener ‘kabillion’ By Kevin Zimmerman ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT
COMMENTARY BY Bryan Roy sports writer
Was it worth it? Was it worth the 1,000-mile road trip to play competitively for eight minutes? Was it worth it to watch UA walkon Max Wiepking drain a 3-pointer — the first-ever token victory cigar Sean Miller has lit in McKale Center? “We had five guards on the floor playing against a damn good team,” Idaho State University coach Joe O’Brien said after the game. “It went from 17-15 to a kabillion-15. And the rest was history.” When you’re a coach in the Big Sky Conference — reeling from a 48-point blowout — you’re allowed to show some emotion afterwards and say words like “kabillion.” And that’s exactly why I left my cozy seat at Arizona’s postgame press conference for a spot outside Idaho State’s locker room. No cameras, no lights, no nothing. Just myself, a reporter from Idaho and an A-Team security guard. We waited in the busy hallway while the other ROY, page 8
Inferior opponent or not, Arizona basketball announced that, win or lose, they’re going to be relentless, a trait that was hard to find a year ago. A 26-0 run over nearly 13 minutes was all the Wildcats needed to dispatch the Idaho State Bengals team 90-42 in McKale Center on Sunday, doing so with stifling defense and hot shooting. “We really sent a message about playing at McKale,” said sophomore Solomon Hill. “It shouldn’t be easy to play at McKale, and we’re trying to reestablish that.” Forward Derrick Williams led the team with 16 points in only 20 minutes as head coach Sean Miller saw 11 players earn at least 10 minutes of playing time. As a team, the Wildcats shot 59.6 percent from the field and went 11-for-21 from the 3-point line, mostly against a 2-3 zone defense. It was also the consistent, nonstop attack that pleased the Wildcats’ head coach. “We had really good ball movement on our end and took good shots,” Miller said. “We really tried to play our style of defense and get our players in the game, fresh. I know that a year ago, I don’t think we would’ve had the same defensive effort for 40 minutes.”
Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat
Sophomore Solomon Hill drives to the basket in Arizona’s 90-42 victory over Idaho State yesterday at McKale Center. Hill said after the game that the Wildcats’ blowout win made a statement that McKale Center is a difficult place for opponents to play.
The Wildcats’ season opener was refreshing, coming off a lackluster exhibition win against Augustana College last Sunday. But it was also intriguing that the same Bengal team had taken Arizona’s fu-
ture Pacific 12 Conference foe, Colorado, to the limit in a 8880 loss Friday behind 39 points from point guard Broderick Gilchrest. He finished with four points against Arizona. HOOPS, page 8
For a second, I thought it was 2005. On a smaller scale , the differences between Arizona and Southern California on Saturday were vast. The Wildcats were ranked, the Trojans were not. Arizona is on its way to a bowl game, USC isn’t allowed to participate in one. What did the Wildcats have to play for? Everything. The Trojans? Nothing. Yet from the opening gun on Saturday at Arizona Stadium, USC played like it was in contention for all those national titles we saw them win a few years ago while Arizona seemed too confused and unfocused to even know what play it was running on defense. The Trojans ran through and around the Wildcats’ defense, en route to a methodical and calculated pounding that did nothing but reinforce that, despite the current circumstances, the difference between the two programs is as wide in the time of possession differential . Bigger picture? USC is not dead, rather slowly perfecting its craft before it explodes onto the national title scene when it becomes eligible, and Arizona isn’t among the Pacific 10 Conference’s elite yet, instead still muddling through several small issues that have compounded in the last few weeks. It’s been a perfect (imperfect?) storm for the Wildcats in the last two weeks against Stanford and now USC. A team that found ways to win games it shouldn’t have and overcame insufficiencies to start the season 7-1 is now in serious jeopardy of finishing 7-5. It sounds crazy, but think about it. Even with the stinker against Cal, Oregon is still the best team in the country. Barring a bad shipment of turkey being sent to Eugene, Ore., it’s safe to assume the Ducks won’t lose their day after Thanksgiving game against Arizona. The Wildcats will be favored against ASU, but if anyone has seen the Sun Devils play, they’ll be able to tell you that their record is not indicative of their skill. If the Wildcats want a quick fix, something will need to be done about the defense. The concerns from the coaches during the summer about the unit have come to fruition after a torrid start is proving more and more to be an aberration. Some wish list items: a playmaker in the secondary, defensive tackles that control the line of scrimmage and a better kicking game. Obviously, I know the kicking game isn’t part of the defense, but the deficiencies there are so obvious that the Zendejas restaurant across the street from Arizona Stadium should consider giving away free margaritas after games. We’ve seen the Wildcats win games they weren’t supposed to in the past few years, so no one should rule them out, but the Wildcats continued to show what they’ve been trying to tell us for weeks. They just aren’t ready.

V-ball falters in SoCal
Senior Whitney Dosty and the Wildcats saw their winning streak vanish over the weekend, falling to both UCLA and Souther California on the road. The loss drops Arizona to 18-9 and just 7-7 in the Pacific 10 Conference.
Wildcats lose both matches on road
By Alex Williams ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona was playing some of its best volleyball of the season heading into last weekend, coming off of a four-game winning streak. Not anymore. The No. 20 Wildcats (18-9, 7-7 Pacific 10 Conference) managed to win only one set over the weekend, as they were beaten down by both No. 6 Southern California and No. 10 UCLA in Los Angeles. “USC match was a debacle for us. We just didn’t play well,� said Arizona head coach Dave Rubio. “Those guys really were on and we couldn’t get anything going. They were physical and we didn’t match up. It was just a bad night overall for us.� Arizona hit at only a .010 clip against the Trojans (22-4, 11-4), who countered by hitting at a .365 clip – including 15 blocks compared to

couldn’t sustain it.� Other than the second set, which Arizona won 25-21, the Wildcats were outscored 75-50 in the match even though Arizona had a blocking advantage. “Blocking was just one part of the game,� Rubio said. “We weren’t in rhythm at all offensively. We couldn’t sustain any kind of offense throughout the game except game two, but that was because we served better and they didn’t pass well.� Rubio thinks that UCLA’s ability to serve and pass gives them an advantage over anyone they might face this season. “They’re the best serving and passing team in the conference,� he said, “and that’s why they can compete with anybody.� The Wildcats continue the season next weekend, when they host Washington and Washington State in the final home stand of the year.
Arizona follows suit as dominant program
reporter wondered if the coach would even talk to us. I’m sure the always humble Derrick Williams was asked about his incredible reachout, one-hand alley-oop slam in the second half. I’m sure Miller kept the even-keel demeanor just as the seasoned professional always does with the media. But what’s it like on the other side of the wall? How’s it feel getting beaten down that hard and that long? What did they expect? “We would’ve had to played our best game just to stay in the game with a team like this,� said ISU guard Chase Grabau. ISU’s coach told the team “you had a poor night, you got your butts kicked,� Grabau said. It was so bad, don’t expect ISU to return. “I told (Sean Miller) before the game, ‘I think you’ve got Arizona basketball back to where the fans expect it to be,

Arizona’s one. “We couldn’t do anything right,� Rubio said of Arizona’s second time being swept this season. “It’s one of those matches that you never want to be in, but if you coach long enough it’s going to happen, unfortunately.� Arizona only managed to keep one set within 10 points — the third set, in which the Wildcats lost 25-21. Outside hitter Whitney Dosty was the only bright spot for the Wildcats against USC. She racked up 16 kills, but only hit at a .195 percentage. Against UCLA (19-7, 9-6), Arizona showed signs of competitiveness, but it still wasn’t enough, as the Bruins dropped Arizona in four sets. “The UCLA match went better, but not much,� Rubio said. “USC and UCLA are two very different teams. UCLA, they really pass well, serve well and defend well. We matched that in set two, but we
and we’re not coming back again,� O’Brien said. Never again? “I’m not going to UCLA anymore, I’ve been there and done that. I’ve been to UConn once, there are certain places I’m just not going anymore. “Once is enough.� This is the sobering life as a mid-major, which gets paid to get their butts kicked and serve as tourists for a weekend. Not bad for Idaho State, considering they traded a 36 degree, rainy Sunday in Pocatello, Idaho, for Tucson’s 72-degree clear skies. Ask ISU guard Andre Hatchett about Tucson. He’s been here before. “As a little kid, I’d sit at the real top in McKale; I’d always envision myself playing here,� said the Santa Rita High graduate, who snapped dozens of photos with dozens of family members after the game. This wasn’t exactly how he envisioned it. At one point, a young boy in his family asked
Play it smart at Hughes!
him to stay home in Tucson. “I will this summer,� Hatchett told the kid before taking a photo with him. Just like the rest of his team, he marveled at Arizona’s tradition, getting to see guys like Richard Jefferson, Luke Walton and Miles Simon introduce the team on the jumbotron to a crowd of 12,000-plus. It was even one of Arizona’s weakest crowds — with a ZonaZoo hungover from the football loss to USC — but Idaho State can’t draw any crowds for any venue, and according to the Idaho reporter, they didn’t even fill a 1,000seat gym during a conference game last season. “We’re in the Big Sky, we’re not going to play against an Arizona,� Hatchett said bluntly. “We just gotta move on.� Grabau added: “It’s a good learning experience just to show what type of talent is out there at the top tier of college basketball.� It’s a marvel to them.
Gordon Bates/ Arizona Daily Wildcat
Team unity, effort key in first victory
HOOPS continued from page 7
“We kind of struggled with (defending) guard play last year,� said Hill, who scored 10 points and grabbed eight rebounds. “I think it was the mindset of getting consistent stops, back to back.� Most of the defense came from sophomore Momo Jones, who scored six points and dished four assists. Backup Jordin Mayes also controlled the offense well, posting the same stat line. With 7:57 remaining in the first half and the Wildcats leading 23-15 , 7-foot Bengal center Deividas Busma picked up his third foul after accounting for 12 of the first 15 Bengal points. He shot 6-for-7 from the field during that span, readily hitting turnaround jumpers over the 6-foot-8 Williams. At the time of Busma’s departure, Arizona went on an 18-0 run to finish the half and not allowing another Bengal point. By halftime, the score read 41-15, and only three Idaho State points came from anyone other than Busma. “I think it was just big plays, getting our crowd into it,� Williams said. “I think a couple good plays got us into that.� The Bengals wouldn’t score again until the 18:04 mark of the second half. And it only got worse.
Arizona took a 44 point, 68-24, lead following five consecutive 3-pointers — three by Lavender and two by Mayes — halfway through the second half. Arizona’s biggest lead was 53 points, which came on freshman Daniel Bejarano’s first shot of his career, a 3-pointer. The Wildcats’ win was a good confidence boost, Miller said, but not a revelation. “Did we play together? Did we play hard? I think we answered the bell on both of those,� Miller said. “We could be talking on Thursday (after playing New Mexico State) in a very difficult moment. Tonight is nothing more than a big win, in terms of the margin.�
And 1
The McKale crowd appeared dreary for the most part, but finally awoke with 15:53 remaining when Jones threw a seemingly high alley-oop pass to Williams who slammed the reverse dunk and later said he was surprised he had made the basket. “I called for the lob and Mo (Jones) threw it. I actually jumped before he threw it. I was already coming down. I just threw it behind my head. I didn’t know it went in until the people in the stands started to cheer.�

Middle class shrinks as jobs vanish, move McClatchy Tribune WASHINGTON — The good paying, predominantly white-collar jobs that once sustained many American communities are disappearing at an alarming pace, keeping the unemployment rate stubbornly high, despite the end of the Great Recession. These jobs in accounting, financial analysis, commercial printing and a broad array of other mostly white-collar occupations are unlikely to come back, experts predict. There isn’t a single cause to the trend. Some of it is explained by changing technology, some of it is the result of automation. Sending wellpaying jobs to low-cost centers abroad is a big part of the story. So is global competition from emerging economies such as China and India. The result is the same in all cases, however. Jobs that paid well, required skills and produced vital communities are going away and aren’t being replaced by anything comparable. “Unfortunately, the evidence is that you see a form of downward mobility of workers who are displaced from middle-skilled, stable career occupations,� said David Autor, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Autor published a paper in April, suggesting

that the U.S. labor market has become polarized, with employment growth in the high-skill, high-wage end, and the low-skill, low-wage end. The vast middle is shrinking, he said. “The Great Recession has quantitatively but not qualitatively changed the direction of the U.S. labor market,� Autor concluded, pointing to an accelerating trend that he said has been underway for more than a decade. As it stands, 14.8 million Americans were unemployed in September, 6.1 million of them for six months or longer. The unemployment rate has hovered around 9.6 percent for half a year, and few economists expect it to dip below 8 percent for years to come. Lois Williams-Norman is on the upper end of what could be called a middle-skill job, working her entire career in corporations as an internal financial and budget expert. Like millions of Americans, she’s had to swallow her pride and step down the income ladder. “I’ve gone from a six-figure income to seriously looking at positions that are going to be paying probably half as much. So over the past 10 years, my income has continued to decline year after year,� Williams-Norman said during an interview in the western New York city of Rochester, in between networking events
Google blocks Facebook
“Facebook as much into competition with AT&T as it is now with Google,� Ray said. Google and Yahoo are working to make email more reflective of people’s personal connections by adding social-networking features to existing email services. Google had disastrous results when it based its Google Buzz social-networking service on people’s Gmail contacts, running into a privacy Waterloo when it automatically imported people into the service. Yahoo, the most popular U.S. email provider, recently launched a new version of Mail that allows users to broadcast their status on both
Twitter and Facebook — just as if they were actually on those sites. Unhappy with Facebook’s unwillingness to let people export their contacts from Facebook into a service like Gmail, Google last week blocked Facebook from allowing users to import their Google contacts directly into the social network. Given Gmail’s momentum, a Facebook email service “puts tremendous pressure on Google,� Cain said. “Gmail is the place to be, and all of sudden, in one fell swoop, Facebook can enable email for 500 million users, and I would suspect there is a huge overlap.�

where she searched for employment. Her problems began in 2001 when she was downsized out of a job at Xerox Corp. after 20 years with the iconic company. WilliamsNorman, who holds an MBA degree, was forced to take a 20 percent salary cut when she landed her next job at a pharmaceutical firm. After going through four corporate employers in 10 years, Williams-Norman, who’s in her 50s,

has been out of work for more than a year. She’s sober about her job search. “I know a lot of them aren’t going to come back, and the new jobs aren’t going to pay as much,� she said. While older workers fight it out for a scant number of jobs, younger ones are voting with their feet, departing what once was prime turf for corporate America.
Products ‘unfairly targeted’
by the Food and Drug Administration. Initially, the product sold poorly, but controversy has boosted sales, he said. “The sad thing is, with all the exposure, we have people who don’t even know what it is coming in and buying it,� he said. A group of nine students at Central Washington University had to be hospitalized last month after a party featuring the energyalcohol beverages. The students had blood alcohol levels ranging from 0.12 to 0.35. Anything more than .30 is considered potentially lethal. Phusion Projects, the company that created and produces Four Loko, portrays itself as “a
small business success story,� started by three friends at Ohio State University. They feel that their product is being unfairly targeted because the bans don’t apply to other caffeine-containing drinks, such as coffee liqueurs. “If mixing caffeine and alcohol is the most pressing concern, addressing it would be best accomplished by creating laws that apply to the entire caffeinated alcoholic beverage category — not specific, individual products and not just beers or malt-based products,� the company said in a letter to state and federal regulators. “If product-specific bans remain the preferred course of action, we will protect our rights as a business to the fullest extent of the law.�

Q
Is sex in the dorms okay?
A. Yes and no. If you know you’ll have your room to yourself for some private time to get it on: YES. If your roommate is asleep in the next bed when you and your bed buddy roll into the room: NO. Common courtesy would also suggest that getting busy in the lounge or laundry room is not exactly what your R.A.,
Q
Community Director, and fellow residents want to see or hear. Be smart, be discrete. And don’t forget the condoms if there is a penis involved. Condoms help keep your hall (and your body parts) clean. Oh, and don’t forget to put the sock (rubber band, scrunchee, other visual clue) on the doorknob.
Is it ok that I’m still a virgin?
A. Absolutely. Deciding to become sexually active is a very personal decision and it should be up to no one but you. If you are not ready for sexual intercourse, or haven’t met the person you’d like to make love with for the first time, it’s smart to wait. Some students abstain from sex for personal reasons, family or religious values, modesty, or for health reasons (fear of disease or pregnancy). It is definitely o.k. (and desirable) to wait until you are ready, meet the right person, feel comfortable, desire intimacy, etc. Many people regret having sex if they were drunk, pressured, or just didn’t care much for the person to whom they gave up their virginity. Sex can be wonderful when you
decide who, what, when, where, and why. In case you’re thinking you’re the only virgin on campus... you are not alone in your abstinence. In our latest survey of UA undergraduates, 31% said they had never had vaginal intercourse (the most common way to define “virginity”). Chastity rates were even higher for first year students (43%). Think that you need to have sex to get your bachelor’s degree? Think again. Almost 20% of seniors reported that they had never had vaginal intercourse. These statistics from the 2010 Health & Wellness Survey were anonymously gathered from 2,931 undergraduates in randomly selected classes.

W-Hoops starts season with overtime win By Dan Kohler ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona women’s basketball team needed overtime to defeat the Wichita State Shockers 81-72 in its season opener on Friday, but the key to the victory was something that head coach Niya Butts hasn’t seen during her Wildcat tenure: depth. “Right now, we are enjoying this win,� Butts said after the game. “There were many places we could have folded and given up tonight, but it didn’t happen.� After the tip, the Wildcats offense — which exploded in its two exhibition contests — was stifled by an 11-2 run by WSU in the first five minutes of the game. Arizona didn’t look nearly as prepared as the Shockers taking a 20-4 lead in the first 10 minutes of play. The second 10 minutes of play were a different story.
Arizona responded with an 18-0 run over the next seven minutes, giving the Wildcats a 22-20 advantage. But when the halftime buzzer rang, WSU had regained control with a 32-27 lead. The second half was back-and-forth from the start. As time expired, WSU’s Chynna Turner was fouled by Arizona forward Soana Lucet and had two free throw opportunities to secure a victory for her team. The pressure was too much for Turner, however, and her two failed attempts kept Arizona in the game, extending the contest to overtime. The Wildcats took the momentum and ran with it. Arizona freshman forward Erica Barnes stole the show down low, scoring 16 and hauling in 14 rebounds to get her first double-double as a Wildcat. “Erica Barnes really stepped up for us tonight,� Butts said. “We have been waiting for a performance like this out

her and she picked the right night to bring it. This was her first collegiate game, It’s very impressive.� The big surprise was Pacific 10 Defensive Player of the Year Ify Ibekwe, whose four points and eight boards were unusually low considering her double-double averages last season. The guards were the dominating force for the Wildcats, with Davellyn Whyte, Brooke Jackson and Shanita Arnold scoring a combined 47 points. The late offensive burst on Friday was comforting to the Wildcat staff, who were concerned with the potential energy levels after last season’s second half play that was littered with lackadaisical performances. “We had four players score in double digits tonight and that just proves what kind of depth we are working with.� Butts said. “It’s very exciting to have all these options offensively.� paid advertisement
