UA entrepreneurs display projects, receive awards at annual Innovation Day

By Laura Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Students, faculty and community members came together Tuesday to celebrate the seventh annual UA Innovation Day. Innovation Day aims to celebrate the UA’s success in technology development by recognizing the research achievements of faculty, staff and students.

“We want students to see that there is a practical side to the kinds of research one can do,”said Leslie Tolbert, vice president for research, graduate studies and economic development.

“If that’s what appeals to students, it’s an avenue available to them.”

The day-long event included panel discussion, a Technology Innovation

ASUA to approve election results

By Laura Donovan ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

The Associated Students of the University of Arizona will meet tonight to review the Appropriations Board Consent Agenda, approve the 201011 election results and hear a request from Arizona Public Interest Research Groups (PIRG).

“It should be a pretty big meeting,” said ASUA Executive Vice President Emily Fritze.

ASUA officials will read over the

consent agenda, which allocated $3,254.46 of the requested $13,101.31 club funding.

There will also be a brief ratification of the election results, Fritze said.

PIRG will be at the meeting to request a special election for students to vote on a $1.50 per semester refundable student fee. PIRG, which did not make it onto the ASUA general elections ballot on March 9, will ask the senate to approve the special election.

PIRG is a non-profit, non-partisan, student-run public interest advocacy

group that is hoping to become a student-funded chapter.

Senator Leo Yamaguchi sponsors the item, Fritze said.

“I support the right for the students to vote,”Yamaguchi said.

The senate plans to vote on PIRG’s request tonight during a special election.

“There’s probably a lot of conversation about whether approving the special election is a reflection on the senators’ own opinions on the fee or giving student group the right to seek

out a fee,” Fritze said.

Fritze was unsure whether a special election had ever taken place before.

The senate will also request up to $300 to spend on senate transition materials and administrative costs.

“We want to get the funds to purchase binders and operational costs for transitioning the new senate,” Fritze said.

The 2010-11 senate class will not have access to their budget until the new fiscal year, according to the meeting agenda.

The UA Student Services Fee Advisory Board and Graduate College awarded the UA Graduate and Professional Student Council approximately $120,000 for travel and professional opportunity development grants for the upcoming fall semester.

“Now more than ever we will see a huge benefit from travel grants,” said GPSC president David LopezNegrete. “Students don’t have as much disposable income to fund their travel, and colleges dealing with university cuts don’t have as much funding to dispense departmental grants as they used to. Travel grants are critical at this moment in time.”

Of the $120,000 awarded, $105,000 will fund various travel grants awarded by the council to graduate students attending career building or professionally beneficial events.

“It’s very important that the graduate college is looking at the academic value of travel grants at this time,” Lopez-Negrete said. “The true graduate academic experience is in traveling to conferences to present research and being granted the opportunity to network with professionals in their fields. This is definitely in line with the graduate college mission.”

Several GPSC members expressed hope that the new funds would allow them to not only maintain but also expand existing grant programs.

“The Travel Grants award will allow us to serve hundreds more students that we would not have been able to without the award,” said Cory Christenson, a UA physics doctoral candidate, member of the Student Services Fee Advisory Board, and GPSC treasurer.

“I am very excited about the new funds,”said Joon-Beom Chu, the GPSC travel grants director. “With the new funds, along with the money from the graduate college, we anticipate being able to fund about 70 percent of applicants, or over 400 to 500 graduate and professional students.”

Travel grants vary in amount from case to case, not exceeding $500. Only one grant can be awarded to a student per fiscal year.

“The travel grants are a valuable resource for graduate and professional students to develop their academic and professional careers by sharing their research and establishing connections with fellow practitioners and researchers,” Chu said.

The remaining $15,000 will serve professional opportunity development grants, which fund on-campus events.

David Buchalter

Doctoral student Philosophy and English Are your students annoying?

I’m not annoyed by them.

Do they ever hit on you?

They have hit me a few times.

They haven’t hit on me.

Would you ever date one of your students?

I would ask them to put the correct grade on their paper, but I would never go on a date with one of my students.

Your hair’s voluminous today. You look like Jesus.

I forgive you for saying that.

Do people tell you that you look like Jesus a lot?

Sinners do.

How do you get such volume in your hair? Girls would kill for that. Do you blow-dry it?

I’ve done it like twice in the gym locker room.

You’re not embarrassed to blow-dry your hair in front of other men?

I’m embarrassed generally speaking, so I’m no more embarrassed to do that.

Speaking of embarrassing, you know that guy who got pregnant because his wife was barren and went on “Oprah?” If you could do that, would you? Would you get knocked up for the greater good of the family?

Where would they put it?

I don’t know, that’s for science to decide.

I don’t know if my body would be a good place to inject a fetus. Or a zygote.

Why? Well, I have been trying to eat more carrots. But I’m afraid of the caffeine intake. I wouldn’t want to make a monster.

I don’t think your kid would be a monster, I think it would just be very alert.

Would you name your child after yourself?

No, I think naming a child after yourself is even more egotistical than actually having a child. But it’s a tradition, like Passover.

Speaking of Passover, do you wear a yarmulke?

They’re changing the school rules to let you carry a concealed yarmulke.

Do you think that will alienate any of your students?

Well, some of my students are Jewish.

Don’t you think that’s an unfair advantage over the gentile students?

I actually cover up the students’names when I’m grading.You know that game Twister? What I like to do is distribute the papers over the circles in the game and distribute grades from there.

I think some of my teachers have been doing that as well, but I haven’t been able to prove it. Is this common?

You know that person who sits at the front of the CCIT (Center for Computing and Information Technology)? If you listen, on the hour, they say like“right foot, red.”

Every time a right food lands on red, a freshman gets a D. But D is degree.

Moss Orion, a junior studying music, is taking a leave of absence from school but still enjoys coming to campus to play his steel drum on Monday.

Baboons gobble grapes in South African wine region JOHANNESBURG — Baboons, it seems, prefer pinot noir. They also like a nice chardonnay.

Largely undeterred by electric fences, hundreds of wild baboons in South Africa’s prized wine country are finding the vineyards of ripe, succulent grapes to be an “absolute bonanza,”said Justin O’Riain of the University of Cape Town.

Winemakers have resorted to using noisemakers and rubber snakes to try to drive the baboons off during harvest season.

“The poor baboons are driven to distraction,” said O’Riain, who works in the

university’s Baboon Research Unit.

“As far as baboons are concerned, the combination of starch and sugar is very attractive — and that’s your basic grape,” he said.

Growers say the picky primates are partial to sweet pinot noir grapes, adding to the winemakers’ woe: Pinot noir sells for more than the average merlot or cabernet sauvignon.

“They choose the nicest bunches, and you will see the ones they leave on the ground. If you taste them, they are sour,” said Francois van Vuuren, farm manager

at La Terra de Luc vineyards, 50 miles east of Cape Town.“They eat the sweetest ones and leave the rest.”

Baboons have raided South Africa’s vineyards in the past, but farmers say this year is worse than previous ones because the primates have lost their usual foraging areas due to wildfires and ongoing expansion of grape-growing areas.

Out of a 12-ton harvest, 1,100 to 1,300 pounds go to waste at La Terra de Luc because of the baboons.

LOS ANGELES — As Michael Jackson lay dying in his bedroom in a rented mansion, his doctor stopped CPR on him and delayed calling paramedics so he could collect drug vials at the scene, according to an employee of the pop star who called 911.

Alberto Alvarez, who worked Michael Jackson as Jackson’s logistics director, told investigators that after receiving a distress call from another worker June 25, 2009, he rushed up the stairs of Jackson’s home and entered a bedroom to find the singer lying on a bed with his arms outstretched and his eyes and mouth open.

At his side, Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was administering CPR with one hand.

“Alberto, Alberto, come quickly,” Murray said, according to a statement obtained by The Associated Press. “He had a reaction, he had a bad reaction.”

Two of the star’s children, Prince and Paris, came in the room and cried as they saw Murray trying to save their father. They were quickly ushered away.

The account and other statements obtained by The AP depict a grisly scene in Jackson’s room in the final minutes before paramedics arrived.

Jackson’s death at age 50 was ruled a homicide caused by an overdose of the powerful anesthetic propofol and other sedatives.

The possibility that Murray may have tried to hide evidence is likely to be a focus as prosecutors move ahead with their involuntary manslaughter case against him.

Alvarez told police he arrived at Jackson’s home around 10:20 a.m. He was awaiting instructions for the day in a security trailer outside Jackson’s rented mansion when, at 12:17 p.m., his phone rang. It was Jackson’s personal assistant Michael Amir Williams, who said Jackson was in trouble.

Alvarez said he was “frozen and stunned” when he saw Jackson on the bed.

Murray then grabbed a few vials with rubber tops and told Alvarez to put them in a bag, Alvarez told investigators.

Alvarez picked up a plastic bag from the floor and Murray put the bottles inside, then Murray told Alvarez to put that plastic bag inside a brown canvas bag, according to the account.

Alvarez said Murray then told him to remove an IV bag from a stand and put it in a blue canvas bag. He did, and noticed the bag had a connector with a milky white substance in it. Alvarez didn’t say what happened to the bags, nor did he identify what was in the vials. ­—The Associated Press

2010 Miss Native American UA pageant approaches

By Jennifer Koehmstedt ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Several Native American women at the UA are competing to represent the Native American Community on campus in the Miss Native American University of Arizona Pageant in April.

Candace Begody, a journalism senior and the reigning Miss Native American University of Arizona, said she will pass on her crown April 17.

Women from any Native American tribe are allowed to enter the pageant.

The student who is chosen will represent and organize around issues within

the Native American student population on campus, Begody said.

“Miss Native American University of Arizona is an advocate. She’s an advocate for Native American issues. Issues that a lot of people are not aware of,” she said.

According to the pageant application, Miss Native American University of Arizona was created in order to stress the importance of pursuing a college education while maintaining and practicing Native American traditions.

Begody said the pageant helps Native American students coming from reservations to transition into

university life.

“Where I grew up, the non-Navajo people were the minority, and so coming onto a campus like this, you’re exposed to so many different things,” she said.“It sends a message to them that you should be proud — even though you’re away from home, you have a family here and you have these events going on throughout campus, which really promote a positive message about Native culture and Native identity.”

Contestants will be judged on a traditional skill or demonstration, a presentation of career goals, an impromptu

INNOVATION

question and answer session, an essay and personal interview.

The pageant will also consist of a performance by the White Mountain Apache Crown Dancers and an appearance by children’s author and poet, Luci Tapahonso.

Begody said she hopes the pageant will educate the non-Native community about Native issues, as well as bring the Native community together.

“I think (the pageant) helps to create a safe place,” she said. “When I would go to these pageants, I at least saw that there were people who were proud of who we were.”

FOR YOUR INFORMATION • Deadline for Miss Native American Pageant University of Arizona is Friday • Miss Native American University of Arizona pageant will be held on April 17 from 6 – 9 p.m. in the South Ballroom of the Student Union Memorial Center.

There were 93 students on 24 teams showcasing their business plans, according to Randy Accetta, a mentor in residents at the McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship.

Approximately 70 were undergraduate seniors.

“When I was an undergraduate, I never thought of how to start a business and look ahead,”Accetta said.“Working with these students here, I see that they’re thinking of adding value to their communities by starting businesses. I think it’s brave for a 21-year-old for thinking about that.”

Petra Grubisic, a business senior, took part in showcasing the business plan for ValueXChange, a Web-based private lending market networking solutions for small-business borrowers who want financial assistance.

“We’re talking to potential investors and customers and letting them know about our model,” Grubisic said.

Rachel Kelly, a marketing senior, showcased her team’s business plan, FunFlights, a charter flight brokerage agency offering themed flights.

“We’ve already investigated patents and drafted real papers, so if someone wanted to pick up our business plan, we would be ready for it to really happen,” Kelly said.

After creating a free account, funded mainly by revenue from restaurants featured in CampusLive’s Food Finder, the site allows hundreds of personal themes to be applied as well as widgets to personalize the Web site.

“I think, these days, students like to personalize their Web sites,” Morgan said. “I don’t think that a lot of students

know that they can do that yet on the site.”

The site contains a popular food finder with online menus for local restaurants, site giveaways for charities, a schedule maker and content boxes for weather and news.

Warning : Propaganda ahead W

arning: If you’re eating or just ate, don’t walk out to the Mall.

The annual anti-abortion display, organized by AbortionNo, is out on the UA Mall this week. Like clockwork, the display ignites praise, disgust, queasiness and general discomfort on campus. The sheer size of the display makes the visual propaganda inescapable. Displays like this are delibrately dramatic and distort the complex nature of the issue of abortion, even from the pro-life perspective.

Alicia Morse, a senior double-majoring in business economics and French, called the photos“heartwrenching”and“obscene to the most infinite degree.”

Alexandra Presler, a physiology freshman, was wary about labeling the display obscene but called the photos“pretty disturbing.”

Dan Sotelo The photos“serve their purpose Columnist well,”said Presler, referring to AbortionNo’s political platform.

Whether the photos are obscene or just disturbing, both students agreed that the display constitutes political expression. Miller v.

California (1973), which established a test for classifying obscene, and therefore unprotected, material, granted wide protection for public displays of political expression.

Paul Wilson, UA alumnus class of 1977, conceded that the pictures could be labeled obscene but felt that the graphic nature of the pictures contributed to political speech.“I consider abortion obscene.

The pictures are just depicting the truth,”said Wilson.

Jeremiah Lange, an optical sciences senior who described himself as part of the“pro-life movement,”When asked if the display was obscene, he admitted that they were“very disturbing.”The pictures, he said, are a way of“showing people the truth about what abortion is doing to the baby. Babies are human beings that deserve as much protection as you and I.” Just as disturbing as the pictures of aborted fetuses are the images of lynchings, Cambodian killing fields, and the Holocaust — atrocities which the display compares to abortion.

The comparison lacks validity, but the display states“comparable does not mean identical.”In the same vein,“free speech does not mean true speech.”

The pictures are more powerful than any words could be, which is precisely why they are used. They may reflect the political views of the organizers, but one has to question the need for such shock value.

The organizers of this protest understand the emotional impact of Holocaust comparisons and images and have chosen to exploit it for their own political purposes.

Organizers of the display may believe their comparisons are valid, which is their constitutionally-protected right. The first amendment not only guarantees free speech, but also allows individuals and groups to engage in distorted propaganda.

Just as Howard Stern is dismissed for his shock-jock antics, so too must this display be dismissed. The views of the organizers aren’t invalid, but their ends-justify-the-means approach is unnaceptable.

The images force students to confront the issue of abortion emotionally, which is the goal of the display.

Students and others who view the display will know how they feel about it the second they see it. The“Free Speech Board”placed next to the display showed an overwhelming response against the display, and Facebook is alive with status updates, complete with likes and additional comments, voicing opposition to this display.

Anti-abortion activists may have initiated the political expression, but pro-choice students have answered back to form a multi-faceted debate about not only abortion but the protections of free expression in public display.

The fact that they’re bringing this down to just a misdemeanor is a step in the right direction.

That being said, there is still a lot to be done legally to adapt to the fact that high schoolers are sexually active — and that their activity is generally not abusive like the relevant laws are there to“protect”against.

On ‘Don’t be hating on the Regents,’ March 22

I just came from Gabrielle Giffords’office on Pima and Swan. To my observation that there are plenty of people unhappy with the tuition increase, her receptionist replied: That this is not in her jurisdiction, that it’s a state

matter under the jurisdiction of the governor’s office. I don’t believe that it’s this cut and dried. In a recent passage of HR 3590, there is a provision about government control of student loans.This is not about hating anyone. If we don’t like the way the Board of Regents is spending or handling our money (yes, our money), then we should just get rid of them.

Letter to the editor Oh, my goodness. I looked at Gary McCoy’s Obamacare cartoon and thought it was a hilarious sendup of Tea Party ignorance. Then I looked him up online and found that, much to my surprise, he seems to be serious. The clue here is “Death Panels” as a supposed side effect of the new Health Care initiative. This stalking horse was such an embarassment that even Sarah Palin had to drop it quickly — perhaps she found she could no longer say it with a straight face — and we know that the former Alaska governor has little shame about what she says from the podium. Now this is a University paper.

If you’re going to publish conservative cartoons, can you at least find something worthy and — dare I say — intelligent?

McCoy’s stuff, from what I can see, is targeted at the ignorant and uneducated. Unless it really is a sophisticated sendup. If so, it’s too sophisticated by wide margin.

The American people elected Obama, by a much more generous margin than they afforded Mr. Bush when he first claimed to be “what America wanted.” Obama has been talking about dramatic health care reform for several years, and yet voters chose him. Voters also chose representatives who have supported health care reform, including local Representative Gabriel Giffords.

Those old guys in Washington who wear ridiculously yellow ties and look suspiciously like Admiral Akbar are busy representing voters every day, not just when the price tags are big, the press is enthusiastic, or the legislation is “a trap!”

Even when Congress is not in session, local governments are operating, campaigns are being organized, and individual citizens are making more effective contributions to government than rocks through windows.

POLICEBEAT

By Bridgette Doran ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Fighting fraternity boy takes refuge at Delta Chi

A University of Arizona Police Department officer responded to the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house at 1801 E. First St. on March 12 at 1:15 a.m. after receiving reports of a fight.

When the officer arrived at the house, he could hear yelling coming from the west side.

The officer saw three men yelling at one another. Another officer took two of them from the scene. The remaining man sat down in a stairwell.

The officer asked the sitting man for identification and noticed that the man had been drinking.

The man verbally identified himself and said he was 20 years old. He told the officer that he had not been fighting and was not injured. He also said that he had only had four or five Tecate beers and felt fine.

The officer told the man that he would be cited for minor in possession and asked him to sign his citation.

After the man took the clipboard, he stared at it and began to sit down and stand up repeatedly.

The man then started to stimulate signing the citation, and, when the officer asked for it back, he said, “No, I haven’t signed it yet.”

The officer told him that if it didn’t sign it immediately, he would be taken to jail.

The man said, “OK, officer, I’ll sign, but first, can I ask you one question.” The officer said, “OK, what?” The man then threw the clipboard and pen on the ground and began to run north toward the Palm Shadows apartment complex.

The officer lost sight of the man and was told by another officer that he was at the Delta Chi fraternity house , which is located at 1701 E. First St. The officer found the man and placed him in handcuffs.

After retrieving the clipboard that had been thrown, the officer saw that the man had actually signed the citation and had to be released.

The man was handed a copy of his citation and released. A Code of Conduct referral was sent to the Dean of Students.

Skateboarder found with marijuana

A UAPD officer assisted a community service officer on Friday at 5:50 p.m. after a man was reportedly caught doing skateboard tricks on UA property.

The community officer told the UAPD officer the name the man had given him, but the man told the officer that he had lied about his name because he did not think the community officer was a real cop.

Once he got the man’s real name, the officer ran a records check and saw the man had a warrant for arrest from Tucson Police Department for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia.

The man was placed under arrest for false reporting to law enforcement and for the warrant.

While the officer was searching the man, he found a small wooden case in the man’s shirt pocket.

The man told the officer that inside the case was marijuana and a small metal smoking pipe. The metal pipe had burnt marijuana residue on it. The man had 1.2 grams of marijuana.

After the officer found the items, the man was additionally charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

The man said that he was given the marijuana and the case by a friend but would not say by whom.

The marijuana, case and pipe were placed into UAPD property as evidence. The man was transported to and booked into the Pima County Jail.

Stolen sweets are sweeter

A UAPD officer was inside the Circle K at 1610 E. Sixth St. on Saturday at 10:55 p.m. when he noticed a man with whom he had previously spoken walk in.

While inside, the man avoided eye contact with the officer.

The officer reported that the man took something from the shelves but that he could not see what it was.

After the man left the store, the cashier asked if he took anything, and the officer left the store to talk with the man.

When the officer caught up with the man, he saw that he was carrying one-third of a Milky Way candy bar. The man would not tell the officer where he got the candy bar.

The surveillance at the Circle K showed the man stealing the Milky Way, and a Circle K representative stated that he wanted to press charges.

The man was arrested and cited and released on scene. He was also escorted from the area of the Circle K and told that, if he were to return, he would be arrested for trespassing.

A victim’s rights form was given to the store clerk, and the surveillance video was placed into property as evidence.

Future linguist bloody, high

A UAPD officer arrived to the Thomas W. Keating Bioresearch building at 1657 E. Helen St. on Thursday at 7:27 a.m. after a lab worker reported vandalism to one of the lab rooms.

The worker told the officer that when he had arrived at work, he saw that the lab was a mess with dirty beakers, broken glass and powdered chemicals spilled all over.

After cleaning up most of the mess, the man noticed that there was blood on the carpet as well as the desktop of one of the workstations. There were also some paper towels soaked in blood.

The worker said the station was for a man working in the lab.

On the man’s computer, there was an e-mail to a friend that said, “I am on drugs, I will become a linguist, I am on drugs.”

Inside a large trash can were more bloody towels, bloody socks and a 3-milliliter syringe wrapper and syringe.

The worker told the officer that the man had diabetes, but the syringe in the trash can was not the one he used for his diabetes.

A phone number for the man had been disconnected, but an address was found.

A UAPD officer went the address at which the man lived with his mother.

It was difficult for the man to regain consciousness.

The officer reported the man was very lethargic and had blood on his pants but was not injured. Tucson Fire Department paramedics transported the man to Tucson Medical Center.

Photos of the workstation, the computer and e-mails, the syringe packet, syringe, bloody towels, and bloody socks were taken and placed into UAPD property.

Freshman outfielder Joey Rickard rocks back for a pitch during Arizona’s 10-4 win against the New Mexico Lobos Tuesday at Sancet Stadium. Rickard hit a grand slam in the comeback win, which was the Wildcats’ 12th straight in the month of March.

Late grand slam by freshman lifts Wildcats

By Mike Schmitz ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The University of New Mexico baseball team was able to contain the Pacific 10 Conference’s top offense for six innings, but the Wildcats’ bats came alive when they needed to, coming from behind and took the game from the Lobos, 10-4, for their 12th consecutive win.

With the game tied up at four heading into the bottom of the eighth inning, Collegiate Baseball’s No. 19 ranked Arizona (17-4) exploded for six runs thanks to a two-RBI, basesloaded single from freshman Alex Mejia and eventually a grand slam by freshman outfielder Joey Rickard.

“I can’t say enough about them,” junior second baseman Bryce Ortega said of the Arizona freshmen. “They just keep trucking away. They’ve really bought into what we’ve asked of them.

“We can’t really tell who the freshmen are anymore,” added Rickard, who finished the game 3-for5 with a home run, five RBI and two runs scored. “Everybody’s playing like they’re, you know, fifth-year seniors.”

Rickard, who won the Pac-10 Player of the Week two weeks ago,

not only hit the grand slam to put the game away, but also tied the game at four with an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh. The freshman now leads Arizona in RBI with 31 and is tied in big flies with four in 21 starts in center field.

“Joey’s been putting up a pretty good 21-game season so far,” said head coach Andy Lopez. “He’s done some pretty special things defensively.

Offensively he’s had a couple big hits.

I thought these guys would be good enough to play as freshmen and so far they’re proving that.”

The Wildcats trailed for the majority of the game, but found a way to claw back from a two-run deficit and tie things up at four in the bottom of the seventh inning thanks to the smallball Arizona style of play.

“We were only down two runs and we know when we’re not going to hit the ball that well we can small game,” said Ortega, who finished the game 1-for-3 and drove in the run that cut the Arizona deficit to one.

“We’re going to manufacture a few runs. We knew we weren’t quite out of the game at that point.”

Reliever Nick Cunningham (2-0), who picked up the win, struck out the side in the top of the eighth, allowing

Top performers Joey Rickard: 3-for-5, grand slam, 5 RBI, 2 runs Alex Mejia: 2-for-4, 2 RBI, 2 runs Nick Cunningham: Win, 1 inning, 1 hit, 3 strikeouts

Ortega and Mejia stellar up the middle Junior second baseman Bryce Ortega and freshman shortstop Alex Mejia have developed quite the chemistry up the middle this season, and it was on display Tuesday night against the Lobos.

With runners on first and second and one out in the first inning, the duo turned a double-play to end the inning. They were back at it again in the second inning as they once again put a New Mexico rally to bed with a double play to end the inning.

Ortega took matters into his own hands in the third, as he got Bryce Bandilla out of a bases-loaded jam by fielding a ground ball, stepping on second and hosing the batter at first.

“Me and Alex (Mejia) have really been able to work well together,” Ortega said.

“He’s been playing shortstop pretty well. We’ve been able to turn a lot of double plays and really just help out our pitchers.” the resilient Wildcats to execute their late-game heroics.

In fact, the entire Arizona bullpen held steady after starter Daniel Workman was yanked after allowing two runs on four walks and three hits in 2 1/3 innings. The combination of Cunningham, Bryce Bandilla, Grayson Adams, Tyler Hale and Cory Bernard tossed 6 2/3 innings of two-run ball, buying the Arizona bats some time to wake up.

“Our (hitters) struggled a little bit early but I’m really proud of what Bandilla, Cunningham, Hale, Adams and Bernard did,”Lopez said.“We made some big pitches in bases loaded jams.

We kept ourselves in the game early.”

The Wildcats, who were hitting .438 during the 11-game winning streak, while outscoring the opposition 128-35, collected only two runs on two

hits against Lobos (14-8) starter Kenny Toves until the bottom of the seventh.

“I thought there first guy was outstanding,” Lopez said of Toves.

“Boy, he was pretty good.”

But the bats came around eventually, and Arizona collected 10 or more hits for the 19th time in 21 games this season and scored 10 or more runs for the fifth time in the last seven games.

Although it took some time, the offense once again hit the cover off the ball, the defense made big-time plays and the bullpen got huge outs in some tough situations en route to Arizona’s 12th consecutive victory.

“I said it a long time ago before the season even began: I like this group,” Lopez said. “They compete, they’re real teachable and they have good character. They don’t get down; they just keep plugging away.”

Some of the most exciting names in March’s Madness await the biggest stage in college athletics this weekend.

Then you’ve got Greg Byrne of Arizona.

The 38-year-old Byrne would be considered a freshman among his league of athletic directors.

Arizona Athletics’ newly-hired CEO officially receives a formal introduction this morning in Tucson after agreeing to a five-year deal worth at least $1.9 million before incentives.

A lot to invest in a freshman, no?

“He’s young. I think it’s no exaggeration to say he’s one of the rising stars in athletics across the nation,”said UA President Robert Shelton.

Byrne replaces a guy old enough to be his father — 16-year Arizona veteran Jim Livengood, 64, best known for balancing UA’s budget in the nation’s most difficult financial climate.

Livengood poured the foundation to revitalize UA’s facilities — new football stadium renovations slated to become on par with the rest of the Nike-driven Pacific 10 Conference.

He knows Nike.

Now comes Byrne, who spent time at Oregon and Oregon State — twice proving immunity through in-state rivalries.

Byrne graduated as a Sun Devil in 1994, so education wasn’t Shelton’s biggest emphasis in the search process.

Such are the statements The Freshman must endure as the Wildcat Nation commander.

“There are not many opportunities that would tempt me to leave Mississippi State,” Byrne said in a press release. “But when Arizona called I owed it to my family to listen.

Arizona is one of the truly elite programs. They have great traditions, great support from their fans and a deeply-rooted commitment to helping student-athletes succeed.”

So now it comes down to paying the bills. Maintaining the near-$50 million budget and fundraising, fundraising, fundraising are priority number one for Byrne, just as they are in every other athletic department.

After winning in its first two consolation matches subsequent to losing its opening match against Texas A&M in the Calloway Match Play Championship, held at Tucson’s Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Marana, Ariz., the Arizona men’s golf team found itself in a position to salvage a week that was almost lost.

The Wildcats fell to the Indiana University Hoosiers in the final match of the consolation bracket, which netted them 10th place for the tournament, but all was not lost on the week.

Rich Saferian and Trent Redfern both won three of four matches, while Tarquin MacManus and Jonathan Khan each won two of their four matches. Philip Bagdade was the lone negative for the Wildcats, falling in all four of his matches.

Priority number two becomes graduation rates: UA athletics records an embarrassing Pac-10 worst year after year.

The NCAA allows each athlete six years to earn a degree, giving prognosticators the most recent data from 2002, an era UA officials claim to have already been overhauled by revitalized academic efforts.

Week 2 filled with broken brackets, underdogs The Associated Press Brackets across the country are obliterated. Underdogs, meanwhile, keep moving on.

No. 12 seed Cornell upset Wisconsin on Sunday to join No. 11 Washington and No. 10 Saint Mary’s among the 16 teams left in the NCAA tournament — three double-digit seeds who know precisely how to put the madness in March.

It didn’t stop there.

No. 9 Northern Iowa was the double-digit underdog that took apart the tournament favorite, Kansas, while No. 6 Xavier and No. 5 Butler were two of five mid-major teams that advanced.

Americans love underdogs, but many fans who filled out brackets — either to show off their hoops expertise or to win a few bucks in their office pool — suffered after this kind of uprising.

President Barack Obama was one of more than 2 million — that’s 42.2 percent — who picked the Jayhawks to win the national title in their ESPN brackets and now find themselves more or less relegated to also-rans.

Also eliminated after the first weekend: No. 2 Villanova, No. 3 Georgetown and No. 3 Pittsburgh, three of six Big East teams to bite the dust.

Last year’s national champion, North Carolina, didn’t even make the tournament, which leaves Michigan State, a No. 5 seed in the Midwest, as the only remaining program from last year’s Final Four.

The new odds-on favorite is Kentucky, which breezed through its two games and is listed at 2-1 in Vegas to win the championship, April 5 in Indianapolis.

Before that, though, are the regionals. If the first weekend is any indication, there will be more craziness waiting in Salt Lake City, St. Louis, Houston and Syracuse, N.Y. In the Midwest on Friday, Northern Iowa will face Michigan State and No. 2 Ohio State plays No. 6 Tennessee.

In the East on Thursday, No. 1 Kentucky plays Cornell — Big Blue vs. the Big Red — while Washington faces No. 2 West Virginia.

In the South semifinals Friday, No. 3 Baylor will play Saint Mary’s, while No. 1 Duke plays No. 4 Purdue.

And the West is mid-major country: No. 2 Kansas State advanced to play Xavier, and No. 1 Syracuse will play Butler on Thursday.

The Bulldogs and Musketeers used to be among the poster children for the small-school darlings. But in a sign of how upside down this tournament has been, their trips to the regional semis haven’t made a huge splash outside of their hometowns of Indy and Cincy.

“I don’t think there’s the midmajor anymore when you get into the NCAA tournament,” said Ohio State coach Thad

Matta, who used to coach Xavier.

Instead, the loudest noise came from those in double digits.

Led by Murray State and No. 14 Ohio, which knocked out Georgetown in the first round, double-digit seeds won 11 games over the first two rounds.

No upset, though, was bigger than No. 9 Northern Iowa’s 6967 win over Kansas.

The Jayhawks were the tournament’s overall No. 1 seed. Though placed in what was widely regarded as the toughest region, they had the coach (Bill Self), the experience (2008 national title) and the talent (Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich, Xavier Henry and the Morris twins) to be a Final Four heavyweight.

Instead, Ali knocked them out.

That’s Ali Farokhmanesh, the Northern Iowa guard who hit the game-icing 3-pointer Saturday after Kansas had whittled its deficit to one. Typical of an underdog, Farokhmanesh concedes that when he was in high school, he wasn’t even sure he’d play Division I basketball.

“To go from that to, we’re in the Sweet Sixteen, we just beat the No. 1 team in the country,” Farokhmanesh said. “I mean, if someone would have told me that back then I would have laughed at them probably. But I think it shows that hard work really does pay off.”

Eleven conferences have teams among the final 16.

The Big Ten led the way with three, while the Southeastern, Big East and Big 12 had two apiece. The Atlantic Coast and Pac-10 had one each, as did five mid-majors.

The NCAA selection committee awarded eight at-large spots to teams from small conferences. That was double the number of last year. Instead of portraying that as a celebration of the comeone-come-all nature of the tournament, pundits widely derided the field as being one of the weakest in memory.

Debatable, though the number of underdogs making it through highlighted some of the selection committee’s lessthan-perfect work — all issues that were pointed out when the bracket came out last Sunday.

— Yes, the Pac-10 had an awful year, though sticking a power conference’s tournament champion, Washington, on the No. 11 line was clearly a misread. The Huskies blew out No. 3 New Mexico, the Mountain West regular-season champion, 82-64.

— Cornell won 28 games, won the Ivy League title by two games and, with a handful of players who had tournament experience, was widely viewed as a scary team to play. Certainly Temple and Wisconsin would agree. They lost to the No. 12 seed by a combined 31 points. Cornell became the first Ivy League team to make it

this far since Penn made the Final Four in 1979.

— Though any team beating Kansas would have made big news, Northern Iowa probably shouldn’t have been playing the Jayhawks so early. The Panthers were seeded ninth despite being

ranked No. 17 in the latest RPI, which would correspond to a No. 4 or 5 seed. Their odds to win the championship have dwindled from 200-1 to 40-1.

“I’m sure that bandwagon has a few wheels on it,” said Jay Kornegay, who runs the

sports book at the Las Vegas Hilton. “If they win a couple more games, that thing’s gonna be fully loaded.”

The Panthers are among a handful of teams trying to become “The Next George Mason.”

In 2006, it was the Patriots,

from the commuter school in Fairfax, Va., who captured America’s imagination by making the Final Four as a No. 11 seed.

They showed anything really is possible in March Madness — something that appears every bit as true in 2010.

Why I work here:

Arizona Daily Wildcat dailywildcat.com

“Working here allows me to put experience on my resume related to my field of study while still being able to have time to dedicate to my academics. I am able to schedule my working hours around my school schedule and choose how many hours a week is appropriate for me.

Another advantage of working at the Daily Wildcat is I get to work with a friendly staff and students my age.

Working at the Daily Wildcat is an ideal job for any college student.”

The Daily Wildcat and UA Career Services are teaming up to provide Career assistance to our dynamic UA readership Jessica Wright interned at Tu Nidito, a nonprofit organization where she was a group facilitator for grief processing, working with children and families dealing with serious illness or death. Jessica minored in Death and Loss Counseling and did not find this work depressing at all. In seeking the Tu Nidito internship, Jessica found it’s sometimes who you talk to that makes all the difference.

When she first called about halfway into the year, she was told they were not taking any internships.

Disappointed but not defeated, she said “I called again on a whim early in the Summer of 2007 and talked to the program director.” Jackpot!

She got an internship with Tu Nidito for Fall 2007 and Spring 2008. For Jessica’s complete success story, go to www.career.arizona. edu, click on “News” for the articles archives and then filter (at the bottom) for Success Stories.

It’s NEXT Tuesday & Wednesday In challenging economic times, it’s more important than ever to take advantage of all the resources available to you. UA Career Services presents UA Spring Career Days 2010 this coming Tuesday & Wednesday, March 30 & 31, 11am to 4pm in the Student Union Memorial Center 3rd Floor Ballroom.
