Arizona dubbed most entrepreneurial

By Isaac Cox ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Arizona was ranked No. 1 on CNNMoney’s list of most entrepreneurial states, and those associated with the Eller College of Management’s McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship say they aren’t surprised.

The center’s program and the college itself are ranked among the best in the nation, and contribute to Arizona’s ranking as having the highest start-up rate of 520 per 100,000 adults in small businesses.

Multifaceted expert aims to cure diabetes

“The center for entrepreneurship here was one of the first in the country,” said Sherry Hoskinson, the center’s director. “We’re over 30 years old. We’ve been a model program, a leadership program and a pioneer in studying.“ Arizona has always been a historically and traditionally entrepreneurial state, Hoskinson said, adding that Arizona is home to a number of Fortune 500 companies and innovative resources.

According to Hoskinson, the center’s program is geared to help a variety of students in various degrees gather entrepreneurial principles and bring those innovative ideas to fruition, whether

those principles are commercially, socially or environmentally based. She added that the center has seen its launch rate increase each year.

“Our studies have shown that entrepreneurship graduates specifically earn more money, earn more assets and report greater job satisfaction,” Hoskinson said.

Josh Banayan, co-founder of JusTouch, launched his company from the center and has been expanding it ever since.

JusTouch distributes tablet-like digital menus to restaurants, and programs their food and beverage choices onto the tablet for customers

to browse through. The tablets allow customers to order and pay for their food so that waiters can focus more on customer service.

“Throughout the whole year we spent time developing the concept, going into financials, what it would take to launch, financial projections, and things like that, that we wouldn’t have been able to do without the program,” Banayan said.

At the end of the year, the program throws an event called the Year End Entrepreneurship Showcase and Celebration, where students pitch

In an effort to cure Type 1 diabetes, a UA researcher is using his many areas of expertise to help the body naturally regulate its insulin.

Dr. Horacio Rilo serves as director for the UA’s department of cellular transplantation, a professor of surgery and aerospace and mechanical engineering. Rilo’s work delves into many subsections of science and technology, such as artificial organs, building scaffolds for skin replacements and improving oxygen diffusion methods for stored organs in longer intervals of time.

Rilo’s work on clinical islet allotransplantation for the treatment of Type 1 diabetes and chronic pancreatitis, where specific cells in the pancreas of a donor are transplanted to a recipient’s liver, is unparalleled in the scientific community.

According to Rilo, islet cells account for only 1 percent of the entire pancreas. Islet cells produce insulin for the body, which is located in the pancreas behind the stomach.

Insulin helps the body regulate its metabolism and allows the cells in the body to take up glucose from the blood, lowering sugar levels. It also stops the release of glucagon, which has the opposite effect.

Three UA associate professors were the first to receive the new 1885 Distinguished Scholar Award, created by former President Eugene Sander.

Shelly Cooper in the School of Music, Donna Wolk in the department of pathology and Nathan Cherrington in the department of pharmacology and toxicology were the first recipients of the new award for their advancements in research and involvement in the community.

Out of 45 nominees submitted from various university departments, the three associate professors were each selected to win a $10,000 award to further their research. The money comes from the 1885 Society, a non-profit organization within the UA Foundation that provides funding assistance to areas in need at the university.

Each college submitted applicants for review and one from each college was selected for consideration, Wolk said. The nominees were then narrowed down to 45 people. For the final selection, a board including the university president and regents scholars reviewed the applicants in the spring 2012 semester.

Wolk was recognized by the society for identifying the cause of blood stream infections more

Q&A Katy Murray talks summer preparations we had been working on for the last two years.

We expanded the Bear Down Camp, which is a camp for incoming freshmen to learn about university traditions and our history. We continued our conversations regarding bringing Spring Fling back on campus for the 40th anniversary and that is one of my biggest priorities this year. I would say another really big thing we did was bringing Mac Miller to campus last year.

We had over 7,000 students in attendance all on the Mall and it was really just awesome to see that many students there. We did a lot of things looking back on it and it was an incredible year.

After being elected in March as the ASUA president, Katy Murray, a marketing senior, has promised to take an aggressive stance toward tuition cost and ASUA’s outreach to fellow students.

During the summer, Murray and her cabinet are making preparations to ensure that her goals are met over the coming academic year. The Summer Wildcat caught up with Murray to discuss how these preparations are coming along.

Summer Wildcat: How does ASUA spend its time over the summer?

Katy Murray: Basically the majority of what happens over the summer is planning and preparation for the coming years. Now is my time to figure out exactly what projects I’m going to be working on and then I work closely with administration now to figure out what projects we can get. Currently, one of the biggest things that we’re planning is Vote 2012 and the whole UA Votes campaign because we want it to take off running right when school starts in the fall so all of that planning and preparation happens now.

This year’s really unique because the UA gets to choose the next student regent, so that process also starts right away in the fall. So we also are planning that timeline and that whole committee now.

One of the main issues that was focused on last year is keeping attendance costs down.

How does the process work to maintain that goal?

It is a very complex process. Essentially, from the student level, my role really is to take

in the student perspective. You have to take in all of those pieces and then say, “What do the students want?” And then that’s when it’s my job, my duty, to go to administration and say that this is what our students can and can’t take, and this is what we really need. Not only can you work with administration, but you can also work with the Board of Regents. This is where that student regent factor comes into play.

What were some accomplishments with last year’s presidency?

We did a lot. We established the student diversity coalition, which was something that

What were the shortcomings?

Something I’m working toward is increasing our outreach and our visibility to students. If there’s one thing that I’ve heard time and time again even from within ASUA, it is reaching out to as many students as we can.

And then probably my biggest thing that I’m undertaking would be working with the incoming university president, Dr. Hart, because essentially we’re the first group of students that she has the chance to work with. So it’s my goal to really show her what ASUA is all about, what the student leaders on this campus do, and I want to try to engage her with as many of the student leaders on this campus as possible.

In terms of outreach, what can students expect to see when they come back over the summer? Will there be obvious changes to what ASUA is doing to get student perspectives?

One of my biggest goals in terms of reaching out is going to as many student club meeting as possible. We have over 600 clubs on this campus, so I’m going to try to go to as many of their meetings, at least one, just to introduce myself,

JusTouch’s success is only one of several startup companies coming out of the McGuire Center. The custom electric bike company Velocis Bikes also originated in McGuire’s entrepreneurship program. Co-owners Taylor Hedberg and John-Mark Bantock said they were confident that the center’s faculty had plenty of real-life experi-

ence to pass on to students.

“Many of the professors are actual or former entrepreneurs who have business classes themselves,” Hedberg said. “Many fields you are learning from somebody who studies the field, but in this case you’re actually getting classical, first-hand experience.”

According to Hedberg, starting a business in Arizona has several benefits. Along with the low

get to know the students, figure out what their biggest issues are and see if we can help them because I think personal contact is key and so it’s my goal to increase the number of personal contacts that we make.

How do students go about voicing their opinions with ASUA? Our office is open every day. Something I’m going to do is I’m going to have one hour, and it’ll probably be bi-weekly, where I’m just in my office, available, sitting there, ready to talk to students. I want them to know that in addition to the ways that we’re trying to reach out, I would love nothing more than to see students come into this office and tell me what they want to see in our leadership, what they want to bring to campus, and how we can better serve them.

What needs to happen over the coming year in order for you to be able to say that your presidency was successful?

We had a president’s dinner at the end of April where all the past student body presidents come back and kind of impart their wisdom and knowledge, and the biggest thing that they told me was don’t lose anything for students.

If you don’t lose anything for students, then you’ve already won a battle. On top of that, I would say from a personal standpoint my key to having a successful year will be if I can see students who I feel like I truly left an impact on, and if I can just leave at the end of my term saying that I left a legacy that will help future Wildcats. If I can leave something behind and come back in 20 years and say, “That was my contribution to the students,” then I will say that that was a huge success.

Ban oversized sodas to shrink waistbands Max Efrein Arizona Summer Wildcat

T

he New York City Board of Health is voting soon on a law that would limit the size of sugary drinks in hopes that this will help the public size down as well.

The board votes on July 24 and is expected to pass the law, which would make it illegal to sell sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces in restaurants, movie theaters, stadiums, arenas and food carts.

Critics say this piece of legislation is a prime example of government overregulation and have proclaimed it extreme as well as completely useless. It doesn’t prevent consumers from going for refills or second servings. If individuals still crave that sugar high they get from a 24 ounce soda, other sugary foods are still readily accessible for

substitution.

It’s no secret that obesity is out of hand in the United States. We’re fat, seriously fat. In Arizona alone, approximately 65 percent of adults age 18 and over are either overweight (40 percent) or obese (25 percent) according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and we’re not even close to the worst state in the nation when it comes to such figures. Mississippi takes the cake since more than 34 percent of its citizens are considered obese, according to the CDC. Sleep apnea, diabetes, joint pain and increased risk of stroke or cancer are only a few of the negative health consequences associated with obesity. An estimated $147 billion in medical costs were associated with obesity in 2008, according to the CDC. This cost is expected to hit $300 billion by 2018 if obesity rates do not decrease.

Could legislation such as the ban being pushed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg stand a chance in Tucson or even on the UA campus? Some students feel a similar bill in Arizona would be a wise decision.

“Many people wonder why we’re the most obese country in the world. When I traveled to other countries I noticed that they don’t even serve drinks as large as the ones served here. Everything in moderation,” said Erica Phillips, a UA junior majoring in psychology.

Opponents to the bill, however, see it as an invasion of personal choice.

“As unhealthy as it is, if someone wants to exercise their right to drink large sugary drinks, then they should be available to purchase,” said Bri Waite, a junior majoring in political science.

This proposed ban may seem invasive, but realistically, its goal is not to take away freedoms, but rather to help Americans help themselves by inducing self-control.

American sized portions are renowned as the biggest in the world and have only been getting larger over the years. The average size of the bagel more than doubled between 1983 and 2003 according to the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. Despite what our bodies may be trying to tell us during a meal, we tend to eat or drink what is in front of us, often ignoring the initial signs of being

full. We also highly underestimate our calorie intake. Implementing portion control may be just what this country needs to slim down.

New York City has often served as the lab rat for many progressive movements and new regulations. Regulations such as banning smoking in workplaces, restaurants, bars, beaches and parks; the banning of trans fat in restaurants and a requirement for restaurants to post calorie counts, according to the New York Times. Not all of these experiments are successful, but for those that are, inspiration is derived from them, influencing other cities to follow suit, and thus setting off a chain reaction of innovation. If the bill passes and Bloomberg actually begins to see a significant decrease in the average body mass index of his citizens, perhaps one day Tucson will feel compelled to conform to the new norm.

Global water scarcity UA presence connects is an imminent reality Tucson to London Games Michael Carolin Arizona Summer Wildcat

ove over oil, water is about to steal your throne.

It may seem hard to believe when even here in the bone-dry southwest, water exists in plentiful supply, thanks to technology like water treatment plants, storage tanks and pumps. Water parks guzzle millions of gallons of water a year, and backyard swimming pools are a staple of desert real estate. But the clock is closing in on the hour where oil needs will take a back seat to thirst.

Unless we do something to stop it, an estimated 3.9 billion people in the world will be struggling to find water by 2030 due to overpopulation, overconsumption, climate change and poor water management, according to a 2008 report by the

Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. By 2030, there will be an estimated population of 8.3 billion, meaning nearly half of our population will suffer from lack of adequate water supplies.

Furthermore, the countries affected won’t just be the underdeveloped ones, or those with barren environments. Eightypercent of the people residing in China, India, Brazil and Russia will encounter medium to severe water stress if nothing is done to prevent the rising needs of water and future shortages, which is only 17 percent higher than today. While some countries like the United States are privileged enough to have abundant supplies of water, the repercussions of these foreign water shortages will be harmful on a global scale if we don’t work now to conserve and manage water supplies everywhere. Less than 3 percent of the world’s water is fresh, and less than 0.007 percent is actually readily accessible to us through lakes, rivers or streams.

he 30th iteration of the Summer Olympic Games begins July 27 in London. The games are a great addition to the end of summer, when sitting around watching nearly round-the-clock sports becomes a very attractive pastime for Tucsonans who can hardly be active in the stifling heat.

If you want University of Arizona connections, look no further than track and field and swimming. The UA is sending three student-athletes and one alumnus to compete in track and field, and 11 former athletes in swimming. One current Wildcat is also playing for the Columbian women’s soccer team, and there are alumni in both basketball and cycling. These 18 current and

former Arizona athletes will represent eight different countries.

More intrigue of the Olympic Games can be found in the national storylines. The big story of the games this year is the battle for swimming supremacy between Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte. The American swimmers will be going head-to-head in two different events: the 200-meter individual medley and the 400-meter individual medley.

In basketball, the United States’ other premier sport, the rest of the world appears to be catching up. Spanish center Serge Ibaka recently told reporters that he believes his squad has the talent to match up with the U.S. and he just might be right. Spain boasts a frontcourt of NBA stars with Ibaka and brothers Pau and Marc Gasol that is on par with the American counterpart of Blake Griffin, Kevin Love and Tyson Chandler.

FROM PAGE 4

Unfortunately, these sources of water are also the most important for agriculture, which uses up most of that meager 0.007 percent. Fifteen percent of all American food is imported from other countries, so when their streams run dry, our food supply will thin. As agriculture falters in foreign nations, the industry behind it will also suffer economic downfall. This will have major consequences for the world economy, especially for countries that heavily rely on agriculture. In Pakistan, agriculture makes up 21 percent of its gross domestic product, according to the World Bank.

Pakistan and India stand in a particularly risky situation. The two nations share several rivers within the Indus River basin, and at the moment, a 1960 treaty between the two nations is all that has kept water-sharing stable in the region. A 2011 report by the U.S. Senate argues that hostility may surface in the future over these rivers.

Yet not all is lost. Like oil, one solution is to simply start drilling. The United Nations estimates that deep underground aquifers all over the world possess 547 times as much water as every river on Earth combined. It wouldn’t be difficult to start drilling either, since the technology to build aquifer pumps already exists from the oil industry.

ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT • 5 While drilling is one process that can potentially alleviate water shortages worldwide, aquifers are only short-term solutions to the bigger issue: distribution.

Unfortunately for us, human population doesn’t always crowd around the biggest watering hole. Asia is home to nearly 60 percent of the population, but only contains 36 percent of the world’s water. South America, on the other hand, consists of only six percent of the population, but has 26 percent of the water.

Therefore, conservation is key.

Agriculture uses up around 70 percent of water supplies, so it is crucial for us to assist other countries in conservation.

Water storage tools, smarter irrigation and growing crops that demand less water are all methods that can make a real difference in sustaining adequate water supplies for people and not just plants.

If we work toward accomplishing these efforts now, the agriculture sector can continue to flourish, billions of people will have access to water in the future and nations will never need to declare water wars. Otherwise, we will all be like fish out of water.

New president makes first public appearance on university soil after taking office

By Kyle Mittan Arizona Summer Wildcat

Ann Weaver Hart made her first public appearance as UA president Monday morning, as a crowd of people dressed in red and blue gathered under the trees in Alumni Plaza in front of the Administration building to celebrate her arrival.

Following an introduction by the Pride of Arizona marching band and several speeches from Provost and Chief of Staff Jacqueline Mok, Associated Students of the University of Arizona Vice President Krystina Nguyen and Graduate and Professional Student Council President Zachary Brooks, Hart made a speech of her own, where she expressed excitement to address various “challenges” as president.

“This is the kind of institution where we’re going to win a gold buckle,” Hart said, referring to a comparison she had made between leading the university and rodeo achievements. “I’m looking forward to meeting all of you and to joining together to help the future of this great institution be great in the way it was in the past, but even better as we look to becoming and staying one of the finest universities in the world and filling that incredibly important role in our broader society.”

After the presentation, Hart met and spoke with people on the steps of the Administration building.

Hart officially began her presidency at the beginning of the month but did not arrive in Tucson until Monday.

“What we do by giving the islet back is we create a balance; on one side you have insulin and the other you have glucagon,” Rilo said. “So when the insulin brings the glucose down, the glucagon brings it up.”

A successful islet transplantation would allow the patient to regain the ability to naturally produce insulin by removing the islet cells from the pancreas and placing them in the liver.

hailey eisenbach / arizona summer Wildcat

According to Rilo, separating the islet cells from the pancreas is the tricky part, but utilizing robotics helps with the transition.

“I developed a computer control system with a robot that uses a graphic interface that allows me to control all the variables,” Rilo said. “The computer has control of the temperature, pH flow, and you also have control of the robot.”

Once the pancreas is removed from the patient, it is moved from the operating room to Rilo’s lab. He then digests the pancreas with an enzyme that helps separate the islet cells from the exocrine and places it in a chamber

with special marbles, where then the robot takes over and controls the environment in the chamber. It shakes the pancreas and turns the islet cells red for better visibility.

“The technique is very simple, because once you get the cells, you infuse them through a vein and it goes into the liver,” Rilo said. “The liver acts as a surrogate place for the islet cells.”

Rilo shares his lab work with colleagues and a few undergraduate students. Zain Khalpey, an associate professor of surgery, was chosen from Harvard College to work with Rilo on heart and lung ex-vivo perfusion. This would allow them

to work on a lung or a heart outside of the body, in a carefully preserved, non-hostile dome, where they would feed oxygen and solution into the organ to maintain viability.

Rilo has performed more than a hundred islet cellular allotransplantations. He travels back and forth from his lab at the Medical Research Building to the operating room at the Univeristy of Arizona Medical Center during surgical operations.

“It is hard to define me,” Rilo said, “Because I do not fit in a box. I don’t like to be in a box.

That’s one of the things that attracted me here.”

Not that kind of “little blue pill”

A University of Arizona Police Department officer conducted a traffic stop at Speedway Boulevard and Campbell Avenue on July 5 at 12:55 a.m. The officer noticed a black BMW traveling westbound faster than other traffic.

He pulled the vehicle over into the McDonald’s parking lot on Speedway Boulevard. The officer approached the male driver and asked for his driver’s license, registration and insurance. He stated in the report that the suspect was driving with expired insurance. The officer asked the suspect if he had current insurance and the suspect replied, “This is my parents’ vehicle and they pay for insurance.” The suspect also had a suspended Arizona license as well as a California license. The officer asked the suspect to step out of the vehicle and asked permission to search the car. While conducting a search of the vehicle, the officer found a long glass pipe underneath the driver’s seat. It was noted in the reported that the glass pipe contained a burnt residue and smelled of marijuana. The officer asked the suspect if there was anything else and the suspect voluntarily handed the officer two small blue pills. The suspect was arrested on the scene and was read his Miranda rights.

Despite receiving the award herself, Wolk said that the recognition extends to her colleagues as well.

“The biggest thing for me is that everyone on my team worked so hard,” she added. “And to have them recognized is so great, even if it is through me.”

Wolk plans to put the award money toward data research, to help categorize staph infections in Arizona and identify deadly strains more quickly.

Cooper was chosen because of her leading developments in understanding how immersing children in music and language can improve their cognitive ability. Cooper said she was in shock when she received the letter, because music education is not typically recognized and awarded on such a competetive level.

“Music can serve as a creative tool for self confidence, self success,” she said.

Through her research, Cooper has discovered that teaching music to preschool-aged children

Sign stealing on the fourth

UAPD officers noticed two non-UA affiliated males running from Zendejas restaurant on July 4 at 6 p.m. The suspects were carrying a green Grosche Premium Lager sign. Both males stepped into an alley when officers approached them. Officers asked the suspects for identification and asked the suspects why they were carrying the sign. One of the suspects said, “We found the sign in the alleyway next to some restaurant.” It was noted in the report that one of the officers asked the suspect if the restaurant was Zendejas. The suspected said yes and the officer informed the suspects that he saw both of them take the sign. At this point, both suspects admitted to theft. Officers stated in the report that the suspects were purchasing cigarettes at a Circle K when they decided to steal the sign from Zendejas. While speaking to the suspects, one of the officers noted that one male was emitting a strong odor of alcohol from his breath. He asked the suspect if he had been drinking and the suspect replied, “Yeah, but that was earlier.” Both suspects were arrested for theft less than $1,000. The suspect that was drinking was also charged for underage drinking. The suspects were cited and released at the scene. The sign was secured at UAPD headquarters, as the restaurant was closed for the holiday.

Cooper has created songs from classic children’s literature, which she gives to teachers and children to aid in the developmental process. She plans to use her award money to fund a preschool program that is on the UA campus, called Musical Play at the UA. According to Cooper, the program was not able to run last year because of budget cuts, but with the help of the award money, the program will be offered to children ages 2 to 5.

“I’m very appreciative to have been chosen,” Cooper said.

Cherrington said he was “honored” to receive the award for his research on how the human liver metabolizes and eliminates drugs and toxins.

He added that his lab’s recent emphasis on the role of fatty liver disease in altering the metabolism and disposition of drugs was a result of a group discussion. Fatty liver disease makes people metabolize drugs slower, according to Cherrington, who has developed a test to determine how the liver metabolizes different drugs.

Cherrington said that the clinical research is very expensive and the award money will go toward furthering his knowledge of the subject.

The three award winners will be publicly recognized at an awards ceremony on Sept. 14, followed by a reception and dinner.

Junior Brigetta Barrett, collegiate high jump record holder, leaps into upcoming Olympic Games.

In life, there is a moment when one discovers exactly what they were meant to do with their existence.

For junior Arizona high jumper Brigetta Barrett, that moment came when she was a young child, racing neighborhood kids up and down the street for candy or money to take to the corner store.

Track was not the only thing that shaped young Barrett’s mind. As a young girl, Barrett fell in love with profound musical talents like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. She also loved to dance, prompting her to declare herself a theatre arts major at Arizona.

“As far as what I wanted, I wanted to be an entertainer,” Barrett said. “I loved to listen to Diana Ross, so I never just wanted to be an athlete.”

After failing to make the girl’s basketball team at her high school, despite her slender 6-foot frame, Barrett could have focused her attention solely on performing and singing, but fate intervened when some of Barrett’s close classmates told her they were trying out for the track team.

“I didn’t really know what track was, but hey, I know I’m going to compete so why not?” Barrett said. “I didn’t know it was necessarily the right sport for me.”

When Barrett began to realize her talents on her high school high jump team becoming one of the top high school high jumpers in the nation, her goal of making it to college despite her family’s inability to afford full tuition became more of a reality.

“Track became more of a means to an ends in my mind, because I realized that my family wasn’t fortunate enough to be able to afford college,” Barrett said. “I knew I wanted to go to college, I wanted to graduate from college, I wanted to get a degree and make something out of myself, and that’s what track became for me.”

Barrett pushed herself harder, setting the school high jump record at Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas.

Her athletic successes led her to Arizona where head coach Fred Harvey and jumps coach Sheldon Blockburger were immediately impressed with her personality as her athletic abilities.

“She’s more athletic than anybody I’ve ever coached,” Blockburger said. “She

Sports Briefs On Tuesday, the Arizona football team announced a home-andhome series to be played against the University of Hawaii in Honolulu in 2019 and in Tucson the following year.

Arizona and Hawaii have met four times in Arizona football history, with the Wildcats winning each of those contests. The most recent contest was in 1998 under former head coach Dick Tomey.

“We are pleased to announce this series with the University of Hawaii,” UA athletic director Greg Byrne said in a statement. “It will give our fans a great opportunity to follow our football team to Hawaii and it will be another attractive game at Arizona Stadium.”

wants to be the best in the world.”

“She’s the same young lady in terms of a personality standpoint that we recruited and asked to come to Arizona.” Harvey added. “Everything that it really takes to be an Olympic athlete, those are the changes we’ve really seen in her.”

The kid from Wappingers Falls, N.Y., a town of 6,018, who at one time didn’t know if track was the right sport for her, had accomplished one of her biggest goals: becoming a collegiate athlete.

The next step for Barrett was to dominate the competition, which she has done with relative ease, winning an indoor high jump championship her freshman season.

She followed that up with NCAA titles in both the indoor and outdoor high jump and her fourth All-American honor with two years of eligibility remaining.

Her successes as a Wildcat considered, her best season, and one of the best seasons an Arizona track athlete has posted in school history in the past twelve months.

All that is one huge step away from ending, as Barrett set the national record with her

6-foot-7-inch jump in the finals of the track Olympic trials last week qualifying her for team USA. Along the way, Barrett added her second-straight NCAA championship, with a clearance of 6-foot-4-inches, winning 17 straight collegiate competitions in the process.

“My personal goals coming into college were to be one of the greatest high jumpers the world has ever seen,” Barrett said.

“I understood that I had to win a national championship, I had to break the collegiate record, I had to win the professional national championship, and that I had to get to the Olympics. And now I have to win an Olympic gold medal.”

Now Barrett will represent Team USA in the 2012 London Olympics, and is one check mark away from completing her list of goals as an athlete with one more academic season of eligibility remaining.

“She was pretty much born to be a high jumper,” Blockburger said. “She wants to do acting, she wants to do track. She’s determined to not be derailed along the way.”

On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball played its 83rd annual AllStar Game in Kansas City, Mo. The Midsummer Classic has been the site of countless All-Star Game memories from some of the best players professional baseball has to offer.

The All-Star Game has also been a platform for three former Arizona basketball players to showcase their baseball abilities after their days in McKale Center.

Kenny Lofton, Tony Clark and Hank Leiber all played basketball at the UA before having decade-long MLB careers.

As a backup point guard, Lofton averaged 4.8 points, 1.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game from 1985-89 before graduating the UA and embarking on a 17-year professional baseball career.

Lofton was a six-time All-Star with the Cleveland Indians and Atlanta Braves.

Clark played at Arizona from 1990-91, averaging 3.2 points and 1.4 rebounds per game. After departing from school, Clark enjoyed a 15-year career with seven teams, earning his way on to the American League All-Star team in 2001 with the Detroit Tigers.

Leiber lettered for the Wildcats in 1931, but played 10 years in the MLB appearing in three Midsummer Classics

Federer wins Wimbledon, proves age is just a number Courtney L’Ecuyer ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

The All-England Club hosts professional tennis players from around the world, dressed in regal white clothes and praying that the freshly cut grass under their feet won’t trip them up. Tennis players are known for their poise, technique and mental toughness, but after playing two grueling weeks on the prestigious grounds they share a sole trait: the thirst to be crowned the 2012 Wimbledon Champion.

Sunday morning, tennis fans witnessed the first grass court meeting between Swiss legend Roger Federer and the hopeful Scotsman Andy Murray in the men’s singles championship match. After a rain delay, four hours of tennis and shifting momentum, Federer beat Murray in four sets, 4-6, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4, to earn the coveted crown.

The win gives Federer his seventh Wimbledon championship, tying Pete Sampras of 2000 and William Renshaw of 1889 for the most grass court victories in history. To add to his list of accomplishments, Federer now touts 17 Grand Slam titles, reclaimed his No. 1 ranking on the ATP Tour after dethroning reigning champion Novak Djokovic and equaling Sampras’ record of 286 weeks as the top-ranked player.

In the first set, Murray looked promising, with the highest percentage of first serve points, break points and receiving points won.

Federer made an unusual 16 unforced errors compared to Murray’s 5 unforced errors. The crowd cheered on Murray, in hopes that he would become the first player from the United Kingdom to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936. Sunday marked Murray’s 24th Grand Slam appearance and their fourth meeting in a Grand Slam final. With an 0-3 record against Federer, Murray’s taking of the first set seemed a strong step in the right direction for fans.

Then came the rain.

Officials closed Centre Court’s roof for the first time in a championship match, and resumed play after a 40-minute rain delay.

Federer came out swinging and Murray’s consistent game started to collapse, punctuated by several tumbles on the court’s slippery surface.

Murray was down 6-5 in the second set, losing in a tie-break.

The next three sets showcased the talent and poise of the world’s greatest tennis player in the Open era, as Federer’s game caught fire. With his wicked one-handed backhand, swift footwork and unmatched composure, he dominated the court like he was in his 20s again.

Federer became the first player over 30 to win a Grand Slam tournament since Arthur Ashe in 1975, a victory that ended his two-year drought of a Grand Slam title. His last was the 2010 Australian Open with another victory over Murray in the championship match.

As for Murray, the loss was another blow to his self-esteem and reputation for being the greatest player to consistently lose in Grand Slam finals, a reputation his coach Ivan Lendl shared during his tennis career.

“I’m getting closer,” a broken-hearted Murray said to fans between tears.

Unable to look at his family and coaches in the crowd, he offered a sincere thank you to supporters and congratulated Federer.

“Murray played like a champion,” said Boris Becker, German tennis legend who was the youngest player to ever win Wimbledon at age 17. “There is no shame in losing to Roger Federer.”

In the next week the All-England Club will be prepped for the 2012 London Olympic Games, where Federer hopes to break another record with his first gold medal for Switzerland.

Senior Hill to ‘provide stability’ for ‘Cats

By Roberto Payne Arizona Summer Wildcat

Solomon Hill has been through a lot in his three years as a forward on the Arizona basketball, and is poised to lead his team to what he hopes is a National Championship season.

“What I took from last season and even the season before, was giving my team a form of stability,” Hill said. “Last year, we didn’t really have stability. They should know they have a leader who’s willing to lead on an everyday basis and give them somebody to look up to in practice and games.”

Hill’s freshman campaign ended in disappointment with the Wildcats losing in the quarterfinals of the Pac-10 Conference men’s basketball tournament to UCLA. Hill improved as the season went on and seemed to be a bright spot for the future.

His sophomore season was one of the more memorable seasons in recent history, as the team advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA men’s basketball championship.

Hill dramatically improved his game and set himself up for an even better junior season.

Hill’s junior season was a step back for the team, as the Wildcats struggled to a 23-12 finish, the lowest since Hill’s freshman season. Arizona was not selected for the NCAA tournament and fell to Bucknell in the first game of the National Invitational Tourna-

ment, 65-54.

Despite team struggles, Hill averaged 12.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game in an All-Pac-12 season, but he’s not satisfied with that.

“If I can lead the team in all categories, like I tried to do last year, that’d be great,” Hill said. “I would like to step up my efficiency more and cut down on my turnovers.”

Hill had 86 turnovers on the season an average of 2.45 per game, which led the team and were also the most of his career.

As the end nears for Hill, the senior knows expectations are high. Hill will be counted on to lead the No. 3 ranked recruiting class in the nation, as ranked by ESPN, into the season and hopefully toward Arizona’s first national title since 1997.

“Solomon is a returning all-conference player,” UA head coach Sean Miller said in a statement. “Those guys really are coveted because college basketball has become so young, with so much inexperience, and so much turnover, that when you have someone who is both experienced and productive, those guys many times are the anchor to a great season.”

For an Arizona team that has eight newcomers, Hill is a staple of consistency and a veteran leader the team can look up to.

“For me, it’s do or die,” Hill said. “It’s my last chance, so I’m going to go all out.

I’m going to go 1,000 percent to help show

Kickin’ Back: May’s Counter proves relaxing, with unconventional menu

By Alyssa DeMember Arizona Summer Wildcat

May’s Counter, located on Speedway Boulevard, is a laid-back bar and diner that features the best of comfort foods.

Chicken and waffles, one of the most eye-catching aspects of the menu, is a seemingly peculiar combination of salty and sweet. This place embodies an atmosphere of relaxation and the casual art of just having a good time.

The restaurant, a creation of Phoenix chef Aaron May, offers such foods as waffle batter-dipped corndogs, pickle chips, the Wildcat burger and a number of different chicken and waffle combinations. These include the “Rooster,” composed of four wings and two waffles; and also the “Odd Bird,” three pieces of chicken and one waffle.

Tot-chos, a dish on the appetizer menu, may have customers scratching their heads with doubt. Tater-tots covered in cheese sauce, jalapenos, pulled chicken, sour cream and black olives, make for an appetizer like no other. It’s pretty tasty, and is especially worth a try for nachos fans.

Plus, the plate is huge.

One of the sweetest and most “treatyourself” kind of meals at May’s rests with the brioche French toast. Of course,

Growing a community

By Razanne Chatila ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

In a garden behind Homer Davis Elementary School, three dark-purple, perfectly-sized eggplants wait to be picked. Hidden behind some leaves nearby are some oversized zucchini, while tall tomato plants also occupy the rectangular plot. This is the home of the Seed Library, a project of the Pima County Public Library.

The Seed Library, which opened in January, is a collection of seeds that patrons can check out in a process similar to book-borrowing, but without the due-dates or late-fees. Instead, the intention is for the patron to grow the seeds and then return some after the growing season.

Justine Hernandez, librarian and founder of the Seed Library, got the idea for the project after an outreach event and speaking with community members about their interest in food production.

“The thing that’s really beautiful about a Seed Library is that in a sense you are backpedaling a little bit,” said Hernandez.

“It’s about the food but it’s also about creating something that is adapted and really bettersuited for our climate.”

The program is still developing and is focusing on getting more people involved, Hernandez said.

“I want it to be more accessible to everybody and a larger section of the community,” said Hernandez, who explained that the Seed Library is now connected with the library catalog in order to make it easier to search and find seeds.

The University of Arizona’s Bureau of Applied Research in Anthropology is assisting the libraries by documenting and further developing the Seed Library.

Ashley Stinnet, an intern with BARA and a doctoral candidate in anthropology, is working on a two-minute video that will be available for library patrons as a resource on the role of

the Seed Library in the community. Stinnet is also working on a 30-minute film that includes research and interviews, which is expected to be completed by December.

“We are there to reinsure the community part is there and stays connected,” said Stinnet.

“The skills that anthropologists have are there to ensure the Seed Library is successful and this last for its lifetime.”

Pima County librarian Susannah Connor also emphasized the importance of maintaining the educational component of the Seed Library.

She said that seed-saving is not easy and that part of the mission of the library is to “nurture gardeners from beginning to advanced.”

“We want it (the Seed Library) to become self-sustaining and very much a community project,” said Connor, who added that one of the goals of the Seed Library is to facilitate different gardening groups to come together under the umbrella of the public library.

Uniting both gardeners and non-gardeners to appreciate the art of growing is one of the reasons the Seed Library was established.

“We want more people gardening and to give them the confidence and permission to get their hands in the dirt,” said Hernandez.

Through collaboration with community partners like BARA, Native Seeds Search, Community Gardens of Tucson and the Community Food Bank, the Seed Library has met some initial success.

“We want people to reconnect with the soil so, in the long-term, we can get seeds that are adapted and localized and then build and create a better community around that,” said Hernandez.

You can check out a variety seeds at any of the participating libraries: Flowing Wells, Himmel Park, Joel D. Valdez, Quincie Douglas, and Salazar-Ajo. For more information on the Seed Library and how to get involved, visit the Pima County Public Library website at library.pima.gov.
