Climate migration disputed

Princeton cites UA research to claim millions of Mexicans will resettle in US by 2080 By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT A recent Princeton study proposes that climate change will increase Mexican migration, but UA researchers are skeptical. The study estimates that between 1.4 million and 6.7 million Mexicans will migrate to the U.S. by 2080. Michael Oppenheimer, Albert G. Milbank professor of

geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University and one of the study’s authors, said they chose to focus their study on the U.S.- Mexico border because the data is stronger there than in other border cases, and they thought the study would interest policy makers. “There have been many claims that global warming would cause a significant increase in global

migrant flows, including immigration across borders. However, none of these claims was substantiated with quantitative projections based on detailed observations and modeling,” Oppenheimer said. “We set out to fill this gap by constructing a model which could be used to project the effect of climate changes on immigrant flows over a period of many decades.” Oppenheimer said that the paper ’s major limitation is that

it assumes ‘all other things being equal’ meaning that only the climate will change over the decades and not the economic standings of the U.S. and Mexico. “This is a simplification, and we hope subsequent research will improve upon it,” Oppenheimer said. Here at the UA, Co-director of the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth, Diana Liverman,

remains unconvinced about the study’s claims. “There were so many assumptions, each of which had enormous uncertainty associated with them, that, by the time you got to the end of the article where they predict the migration flows, the uncertainty was just enormous,” said Liverman.

ASUA to ratify hidden budget By Jazmine Woodberry ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Associated Students of the University of Arizona Senate will have their first official meeting of the 2010-11 school year tonight. Approval of the budget for the new school year will be the main topic of discussion. “The only thing … we are going over is approving the ASUA budget for the year,” said ASUA Executive Vice President Katherine Weingartner.

IF YOU GO ASUA Senate Meeting Student Union Memorial Center Ventana Room Tonight at 5 Kenny Ho, ASUA treasurer, said that the 2010-11 budget will then be released to the public upon complete senate approval. The proposed budget will go online shortly after the meeting. “It’ll be up for approval

(today) and then when the senate approves it, it’ll be up,” Ho said. Although the senators were inaugurated last May and got to work holding forums for the student reaction to the controversial Senate Bill 1070, tonight will be the first time they meet to discuss the year ’s upcoming events. The SB 1070 resolution could be among topics of conversation at the meeting, but the discussion was tabled in summer governance, and no changes will be made to any statements until Sept. 8, according to Weingartner. Approval of the budget will allow for various senate projects to be passed. Such programs include plans to have a concert for breast cancer, a senate initiative of Taylor Bilby, ASUA senator and prebusiness sophomore. Garret Voge, an ASUA senator and pre-business sophomore, also plans to initiate a ‘volunteer buffet’ where students can try different volunteer programs and find one they are passionate about. Weingartner said the passion of the new senate is apparent through the different personal projects that are being started early this semester.

$150 Rec fee dissected By Brenna Goth ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Students will be paying a $150 Campus Health Service fee this semester for the Student Recreation Center and Campus Health. The fee was approved by the Arizona Board of Regents in March and was designed after continuous budget cuts on both a

state and university level. “The health and recreation fee was even conceived of or considered as a result of budget cuts,” said Kris Kreutz, director of administrative services for Campus Health Service. “We felt we should move from a less stable to a more stable funding source.” Campus Health Service and Campus Recreation surveyed

4,800 students last year before requesting the fee. Out of the students surveyed, 64 percent approved a mandatory fee. “We did have student support,” Kreutz said. Many students were not aware of the fee until they received their Bursar’s statement. “It was just when I went to pay the bills,” said Nate Kennedy, REC FEE, page A3

WASHINGTON – Sen. John McCain of Arizona easily defeated an aggressive conservative challenger in a primary vote Tuesday despite a strong anti-incumbent mood. The result means that McCain, 73, will again represent the Republican Party as a candidate for the Arizona senate seat. The primaries, in which voters pick their party’s candidates for November ’s congressional and gubernatorial elections, come amid an angry mood against politicians from both parties. Voter anger over a still-sluggish U.S. economy has also left Democrats fearful of losing their majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives. Moderate politicians were seen as especially vulnerable, as voters in both parties have turned increasingly partisan in the past few years.

Reaction to fingerprinting machine implemented at the Student Recreation Center

McCain, the Republican Party’s nominee in the 2008 presidential election, has spent more than $20 million in the battle to keep the Arizona Senate seat he has held for more than two decades. He faced former congressman and talkshow host J.D. Hayworth, who questioned McCain’s conservative credentials. Once a self-styled “maverick” who worked with Democratic lawmakers on many signature issues over his tenure in the Senate, McCain moved to the right on hot-button topics such as immigration in a bid to fend off Hayworth’s bid for the Republican nomination. As polling stations closed, U.S. television projections gave McCain an easy win. In the early count published by the Arizona secretary of state, he enjoyed 59 percent of the vote compared to his opponent’s 30 percent.

Administrative Vice President of ASUA So we are obviously here at the student council office. What is your position at the UA student council? Well, we are actually the student government. Oh, my bad! It’s okay! A lot of people think that we are the student council like in high school but I am the administrative vice president of ASUA, which is the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. So I look over programs and services; we house everything from LGBTQ advising, Women’s Resource Center, Freshman Class Council, Bear Down Camp, community development, Safe Ride, Spring Fling, and also I have a chief of staff to help me out. Dang, that’s a workload! It’s manageable, I’m a junior this year, so I really have gotten to learn all the inner workings of everything. OK, so for those of us that aren’t in charge of every campus event, what is the best part about your position? I guess the best part about it is really touching the students because we are the main outlet of really reaching out to students. What do you do for fun? For fun, I am actually a part of the Chain Gang Junior Honorary. We get 50-yard line seats to all the football games, which is a lot of fun. That is definitely a reason that I would consider joining. You guys are the ones that wear those rugby polos on the field, right? Yes! Number 18 right here. I’m also a part of Arizona Ambassadors but mostly hanging out with people from ASUA. We are one big happy family here. So let’s say you found a 100 dollar bill on the floor. What are you going to do with it? I would ask around if someone dropped it. Yeah right, Mr. Vice President. I’m serious! I lose my money all the time because I am so spacey. So when I find other money, I always ask around because I lost 40 bucks one time so I would feel for that person. I’m not going to go spend it, that’s horrible. Okay, let’s re-phrase the question here.You found a pot of gold and it said “BRETT” on it and it was 100 dollars worth of gold. What would you do? I would spend it towards back to school shopping because I need to get a ton of binders and stuff. Isn’t that what your Bursar’s account is for? Ha, my parents would kill me if I used my Bursar’s account. I used it up way too much freshmen year so I can only use it for strictly books. Last question, football or basketball, what’s your preference? Football all the way. I mean, love the basketball team, but football boys are for me. — Caroline Nachazel

17 states ask Craigslist to end ‘adult services’ ads McClatchy Tribune HARTFORD, Conn. — Attorneys general from 17 states have asked Craigslist to eliminate the adult services section of its popular network of websites, citing continuing use of it to advertise prostitution. “Craigslist clearly lacks the wherewithal — or will — to fight flagrant prostitution

ads that persist on its site,” Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said Tuesday in a statement announcing his participation in a letter to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster and founder Craig Newmark. “Prostitution is a booming business on Craigslist, perhaps more than ever before.” Blumenthal is one of 17 attorneys general to sign a

letter asking the San Franciscobased Craigslist to remove the adultservices section. “We understand that prostitution is profitable — but its human toll is intolerable, and Craigslist should cease being an enabler,” Blumenthal said. “Despite its much-touted ‘manual review’ of Adult Services, craigslist has failed to block blatant prostitution ads.”

UA professor calls Princeton’s conclusion ‘leap of faith’

continued from page A1 Liverman’s main criticism is the use of UA research. The research from the UA was done 10 to 15 years ago and examined how climate change would affect crop yields in two places in Mexico.

“There were so many assumptions each of which had enormous uncertainty associated with them that by the time you got to the end of the article where they predict the migration flows the uncertainty was just enormous” — Diana Liverman, co-director of the Institute for the Study of Planet Earth “They sort of extrapolate that from two places where we did research a long time ago to the whole of Mexico, and I found that to be a bit of a leap of faith,” Liverman said. According to Liverman, they did use another study as well that showed the same general trends. Liverman also thought the paper was heavily statistical and did not make use of any field-based work on how climate

change affects communities in Mexico. “I would have liked them to at least have talked to a migrant,” Liverman said. David Plane, UA professor of geography and regional development, was originally intrigued by the possibility of a connection, but had his doubts after reading the paper. “I believe there are myriad factors affecting the volume and pace of Mexican migration to the U.S.,” Plane said, “and even after reading about these modeled trend results, I am skeptical that climate change ranks very highly among the longer term controlling factors.” Plane noted that the recent recession has caused a decrease in Mexican immigration to the U.S. “It is somewhat ironic that undocumented migration has become such a hot button issue right now. When the incoming levels are actually down and return movement up,” Plane said. “Our current high unemployment causes native-born Americans to be rightly worried about the overall jobs picture, whether or not they themselves work in sectors where possible competition from Mexican immigrants is a major factor.” Liverman spoke with Oppenheimer about the paper and, despite their differing opinions, she said the debate remained cordial. “He accepts some of the criticisms, and his response is we should work together or we should do a better job,” Liverman said. Oppenheimer said he hopes the study will be a way forward on what had previously been a difficult issue to analyze and will grab the attention of policy makers.

UA’s budget crisis: Who’s responsible? Nyles Kendall Arizona Daily Wildcat

he disorder of Arizona’s fiscal house has had far-reaching ramifications, but the university system has borne the brunt of this budgetary nightmare. As the Arizona Board of Regents prepared its preliminary budget for fiscal year 2010, it had to take into account both an increase in student enrollment and decrease in funding from the state. This resulted in massive tuition increases from anywhere between 15.7 and 20.4 percent. These tuition hikes, in tandem with workforce and salary reductions, department closures and increased class sizes, have left all three of Arizona’s major universities, UA, ASU and NAU, writhing in pain. By now, we all know that the university system is in dire straits financially, but how did it get to this point and who is to blame? In 15 of the past 17 years, Arizona has cut individual and corporate taxes more than any other state in the country; the Republican-led Arizona Legislature’s unhealthy infatuation with tax cuts is responsible. Arizona had the 41st-lowest tax burden in the nation as of 2008 and currently has a deficit projected to reach $2.6 billion for the 2011 fiscal year. The Arizona Legislature seems to believe cutting taxes will increase state revenue. This flawed reasoning is what has caused the state’s exorbitant deficit. Furthermore, the tax cuts were not initially matched with spending cuts. The legislature lowered taxes and spent money the state didn’t have. Cutting taxes without implementing commensurate spending cuts means a massive budget deficit down the road. Now that the legislature has finally realized this, in order to offset the state’s lack of revenue, they have slashed expenditures with a dull hatchet, which for the university system has meant higher tuition and a budget crisis of epic proportions. Conventional wisdom among most economists is that cuts to expenditures during a recession do far more harm than good. Drawbacks in public spending will result in a reduction in the quality and quantity of government services and will decrease the demand for private sector goods, which will only worsen economic conditions. Not to mention the effects it will have on the K-12 and university systems, which are already reeling from a lack of state funding. The only way to effectively increase revenue without adversely impacting the economy and education system would be to increase taxes. It is the only alternative the legislature has at this junction. But the Republican majority has completely stonewalled efforts to reform Arizona’s tax policy. Furthermore, they have firmly aligned themselves with partisan anti-tax organizations like the Tea Party Patriots and Americans for Prosperity. Grover Norquist, president of the taxpayer advocacy group Americans for Tax Reform, is said to be held in such high esteem among Republican members of the legislature that Arizona has one of the highest percentages of lawmakers who have signed his pledge to oppose all increases in federal and state taxes. With a legislative body that subscribes to a political philosophy as radical as Norquist’s, it is no surprise that Arizona’s budget is headed off a cliff. To the legislature’s credit, it has, to a certain extent, come to terms with the fact that its love affair with low taxes has proven detrimental to the state. Although the Republican majority is steadfast in its opposition to any increases to individual and corporate taxes, they at least had the decency to pass a resolution in February of this year to place Proposition 100 on the ballot and allow the people of Arizona to decide whether a policy of excessive tax cuts is best for the state’s future. It was even supported by Arizona’s conservative governor, Jan Brewer. Voters approved the measure which implemented a 1 percent increase in Arizona’s state sales tax. Two-thirds of the revenue allotted from this increase will fund K-12 education and the other one-third will fund human services and public safety. But as this tax increase is only temporary, it has left many to wonder what will happen after the measure expires on May 31, 2013. Even though Proposition 100 was lauded as a solution to the state’s financial crisis by its proponents, it is only a Band-Aid. Five years from now, Arizona will more than likely find itself in the same budgetary predicament it is in currently unless there are significant reforms to the state’s tax policy. — Nyles Kendall is a political science junior.

MAILBAG Welcome back Wildcats!

As the school year commences, I would like to welcome all new and returning students back to the UA for another year. Whether you are starting your college experience or continuing at the UA, I hope that you will take advantage of the incredible opportunities that our university has to offer. As your ASUA student body president, it is my responsibility to represent you and the student voice at the University of Arizona. The Associated Students of the University of Arizona is here to seek out student opinion to the best of our ability and to communicate and advocate on your behalf. ASUA and this university would not exist if it was not for the students. Our purpose is students and because students have needs and opinions and a right to organize and voice their concerns, it is important that a system of representation exists. This year, ASUA will work to reach out to students that we don’t normally reach. Not through social media and Twittering, but through one-on-one connections with students, residence hall visits, club visits, a presidential blog and direct outreach

to individuals on campus. The media portrays students as apathetic. I know that this is not true. ASUA will work to better engage students on the issues that concern them. In doing so, we hope to promote an active and civically-engaged student body that can unite behind important issues. It is important now more than ever for strong leadership within student government and student organizations. You can initiate change and influence the happenings of this university and the state of Arizona. ASUA is open to new leadership, diverse perspectives and working to improve day after day so that we can better serve students. I look forward to this year, and please know that my door is always open to any concerns or questions. Best of luck, Emily Fritze ASUA Student Body President 520-621-4615 asuapres@email.arizona.edu

Each week, Perspectives poses a question for readers to weigh in on. E-mail your responses to letters@wildcat.arizona.edu. We’ll run the best reader responses each Thursday. This week’s question: What has been the most surprising (good or bad) aspect of the new semester so far?

In reducing carbon footprint, Ecuador sets example Gabriel Schivone Arizona Daily Wildcat

During the first week of school, many students, like industrious bees, are busy to fulfill aspirations and complete a heavy workload. I recall President Robert Shelton’s initial words at the onset of his presidency, sharing his plans to make the UA an “enterprise model” for the 21st century — in other words, a value to ensure profit and selfenrichment at all costs. It is no different with most leaders in the international scene, where the stakes are often much greater. Last week, famed social critic and “world systems” theorist Immanuel Wallerstein wrote a stunning op-ed that reports a glimmer of light in this new century rived with seemingly ominous doom at every corner. In his Aug. 18 article, “Contradictions in the Latin American Left,” Wallerstein reports an interesting bargain between Ecuador and some of the rich nations of the global north. In Ecuador, the government of Rafael Correa, recently washed into power on the tide of indigenous support movements, wanted to develop oil resources in the fragile Amazonian reserve, Yasuni. Naturally, the indigenous people protested, initially to deaf ears from the government that took national power because of their support. At that point, the government could have taken the path of usual disregard for local indigenous wishes in order to obey short-term profit considerations over long-term harm to the environment and human communities. Correa, instead, chose an unexpected alternative when he proposed that the wealthy world governments compensate his nation for not developing Yasuni as a token of good practice against global warming. Of course, upon first hearing the proposition at the Copenhagen

Climate Summit in 2009, the idea was received as laughable. But, as Wallerstein points out, after six months of negotiations, Belgium, Germany, Spain, France and Sweden have agreed to create a U.N.-administered fund to indeed pay Ecuador not to develop in Yasuni on the basis of reducing world carbon emissions. The possible new verb form that is buzzing from this stylish episode on the international scene is “yasunize,” which would describe the style of bartering to fighting global warming. To have power to do wrong (“enterprise model”), and restrain from such action (to “yasunize”), seems elementary and morally self-evident. But in the age of neoliberalism and the maximization of profit at all costs, it is quite a feat for the world government of a so-called underdeveloped country in the global south to shift the normal run of things a bit and take advantage of the rich industrial nations in order to benefit the underdog’s own economy, and in the process not add to the world’s climate crisis. In effect, the consequence conforms to what Wallerstein observes as “PachaMama” (mother earth) of Latin American indigenista left movements, whose values and actions contradict those of the Latin American national parties, albeit distancing themselves from U.S. influence, by seeking to animate their lives with the value of “buen vivir”— or “to live well.” There’s much to learn from those that are experimenting with alternatives to the status quo around which we, as a society, as a university and as a nation, build such walls, often impenetrable to the good advice of averting self-destruction as a species. Regarding elements of the “yasunization” in Ecuador, Wallerstein reflects that “analogous situations underlie much of the internal strains in Asia, Africa and even Europe. It may turn out to be the great debate of the twenty-first century.” For those of us who are young and represent the very generations that oldsters like Wallerstein suggest, the possibilities of “may” remain within reach and within choice of grasp, as we climb the threshold of our lives with the values by which we choose to guide our lives and inform our actions. — Gabriel Schivone is an English literature junior.

POLICEBEAT By Lucy Valencia ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

Marijuana smokers in parking garage

An officer approached a parking structure on campus after receiving a reference of two suspicious males. The officer saw two men appearing to be admiring the view from the top level of the parking garage. When they saw the patrol vehicle approaching them, they instantly started walking. The officer stopped and spoke to the two men, one of whom appeared nervous. He had a freshly lit cigarette in his hand. As the officer checked their identifications, one of the men reached into his pockets, and the officer noticed a crinkling sound, like a plastic baggie. He asked the male if there was anything in his pockets, to which he responded just his wallet and keys as he pulled them out. The officer asked the man to turn his pockets inside out. When the man did, there was a bag of marijuana in his right front pocket. The two men were sent to the Dean of Students Office.

‘A rose by any other name would smell as sweet’

An officer noticed a car with its driver ’s side headlight out. He pulled the vehicle over, and the driver provided him with his registration and the insurance for the vehicle. The man who was driving told the officer he had misplaced his driver ’s license. The officer asked for his name. The record check did not return any matches for the name. The man then said, “Okay, I’ll tell you my real name.” He told the officer a second name with a different date of birth than the first one. The officer ran a records check of that name, and it came back stating he had a history of giving false names to the police. The officer confirmed his identification as the second name after the man provided his identification card. The man was arrested for having a suspended license and for false reporting to the police. He was given a citation and released at the scene.

Student gets a bloody wound from a broken glass window

An officer went to Skyview Apartments Residence Hall after receiving a reference that a person was bleeding from the leg. Upon arriving, the officer met with the individual who was complaining that a large piece of glass from a window had fallen from above him and made a gash in his leg. There was a lot of blood around the individual and a cut that was at least an inch in length right above his left knee. The individual claimed that the people who broke the window were drunk. The officer contacted the residents of the room but found that none of the inhabitants were intoxicated. All of them had negative PBT results and said the broken window was an accident. The individual insisted the officer was mistaken. The officer then asked the individial if he had been drinking at all. He replied that he had a few beers. The officer noticed his eyes were red and his speech was slurred. Information about the incident was passed onto another officer, and the man was taken to University Medical Center.

Weapon mysteriously appears in car

An officer pulled over a vehicle at an intersection near campus after he saw a driver turn on a red traffic signal. He pulled over the vehicle and had the driver identify himself. The man was not carrying any identification with him, but the officer ran a check for his name. The results from the check indicated that the man’s license was suspended and court action was required. The officer advised the man that his vehicle would be impounded by Arizona state law for a mandatory 30day period. A search of the man’s car led the officer to find a 9-mm pistol under the front passenger seat. The driver had previously denied having any weapons in the vehicle. The driver said he had no idea to whom the weapon belonged. The officer contacted the driver ’s wife and register owner via telephone, and she confirmed that the weapon did not belong to either of them. The pistol was placed into UAPD custody as found property. The vehicle was towed.

Licking their wounds By Nicole Dimtsios Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona football team has just nine days until its season opener on Sept. 3 in Toledo, Ohio. With so little time left, every practice has become essential for the team’s development. With Tucson weather canceling two practices in the past four days, the only members of the team who stand to benefit from the vacation are the five injured players — all projected to start when the 2010 season kicks off.

Juron Criner

Injury: Concussion — The junior receiver sat out of Saturday’s curtailed scrimmage with lingering effects from a hit he suffered from cornerback Robert Golden on the fourth day of training camp. “Juron (Criner) got hit in the mouth … and split his lip and had to get stitches on both sides of his lip,” said head coach Mike Stoops. “(He) had a headache, so we subbed him out.”

Taimi Tutogi

Injury: Ankle sprain — Arizona’s halfback had to be carted off the field on Aug. 9 during practice at the Rincon Vista Sports Complex, and has had to sport a boot on his foot ever since. The sophomore H-back had emerged as an adaptable member of the offense — spending time at tailback and as a blocker — and turned heads at the spring game for the Wildcats. “It will be a day-to-day, week-to-week situation,” said Stoops. “He’s a big part of our offense, so we definitely need him for the things we like to do.” Tutogi’s return will be highly anticipated, as the depth chart currently has no fullbacks behind him.

Vaugn Dotsy

Arizona’s 6-foot-5, 370-pound guard had been plagued by a back injury since the first play of the 2010 Holiday Bowl. In March, Dosty underwent a microdiscectomy surgery — the same operation that ended former tight end Rob Gronkowski’s 2009 season — and spent training camp trying to get back in shape. Dosty started nine games during the 2009 season and is expected to return as soon as next week.

Recovering Offensive Line — Conan Amituanai and Phil Garcia

After starting six games in the 2009 season, Senior Conan Amituanai is projected to start at left guard, but he’ll have to get healthy before he can make an impact on the offensive line. A sprained knee sustained on the first day of training camp held the 6-foot-4, 335-pound lineman out until day 11. Arizona’s offensive line, which is expected to be one of the best in the Pacific 10 Conference, took another hit when Phil Garcia sat out with a sore knee, and Mickey Baucus missed time with a sprained ankle.

Golden proves versatility V-ball set

to take on difficult schedule Wildcats bolster non-conference matchups By Alex Williams Arizona Daily Wildcat

Michael Ignatov/Arizona Daily Wildcat

Robert Golden makes a tackle against Washington State on Nov. 7, 2009, as a strong safety. Golden, who came to Arizona as a cornerback, will switch back to corner after starting all of 2009 at strong safety.

After 13 starts at safety, junior moves back to cornerback By Mike Schmitz Arizona Daily Wildcat After a one-year hiatus from the cornerback position, Arizona junior defensive back Robert Golden is expected to return back to his comfort zone in 2010. “I think we’re pretty well set on corner right now,” head coach Mike Stoops said of Golden’s position after Saturday’s weather-shortened scrimmage. Golden, who started all 13 games at strong safety in 2009, developed into a four-star recruit as a corner at Edison High School in Fresno, Calif. The ball-hawking defensive back was ranked as the No. 11 cornerback coming out of high school in 2008, and turned down offers from USC, ASU, UCLA, Oregon, Michigan and a handful of other schools to play for the Wildcats.After a freshman season full of special team duties, Golden was asked to play safety because then-senior Devin Ross and current junior Trevin Wade tied down the cornerback spots. But with Ross now graduated, Golden has the opportunity to play the position the Wildcats originally signed him to play. “I’m natural at the corner spot and then

playing safety last year, I got a better feel for it now this year,” Golden said during an Aug. 7 photo shoot. “Wherever I play, I just want to help the team out.” The 5-foot-11, 200-pounder did much more than help the team out in 2009. Golden recorded 41 tackles (24 solo) and two interceptions for 93 yards, highlight-

Just the facts 1 – Robert Golden

Position: Cornerback Height: 5-11 Weight: 200 lbs High School: Edison High School (Fresno, Calif.) Recruiting background: Four-star recruit, No. 11 ranked cornerback by Rivals.com coming out of high school. 2008 stats: 13 games, 0 starts, 13 total tackles, forced fumble 2009 stats: 13 games, 13 starts, 41 total tackles, 2 INTs, TD

ed by a 74-yard pick-six against Stanford. With one more season under his belt, Golden will now wear a leadership hat on the defense. Freshman safety and marquee name of the 2010 recruiting class Marquis Flowers cited Golden as one of the players who helped him along during training camp. “The upperclassmen, they do a real good job at (mentoring),” Flowers said. “Trevin Wade, Joe Perkins, Wilcox and Robert Golden. They all help out and give their advice so I could do better on the field.” And that leadership role is something Golden is hoping to relish in. “I want to help our defense improve in every aspect that I can, so being able to be a leader, a vocal leader,” Golden said. “I think I’ve given the team a lot of energy and a lot of momentum to go out there and produce everyday.” Stoops made it clear that Golden won’t be deadlocked at corner, and could still see some time at safety or dime. But for now, Golden is expected to be lining up opposite of Wade on the Arizona defense, leading an exciting Wildcats secondary. “The defensive backfield, we have a lot of talent back there,” Golden said. “Especially with the freshman, it’s a lot of guys out there that are ready to play right now.”

Head coach Dave Rubio knows that he might have something special in this year’s Arizona volleyball team, and he is doing his best to make sure that the Wildcats are battle-tested come conference play — and ultimately the NCAA tournament. “This year, we really loaded up — we knew we were going to be good,” said Rubio, who is entering his 19th season at Arizona. “We’ve got a lot of teams that are going to provide us plenty of competition.” If competition is what Rubio wants, it’s what he’ll get in the 2010 campaign. Of the 12 non-conference teams Arizona plays in the rapidly approaching season, eight had winning records in 2009. Of those eight, six won 20 or more games. If you think that’s a tall task, that stretch doesn’t even include Pac-10 schools, six of which are ranked in the top 25 of the AVCA Division 1 coach’s poll. Some might call that daunting, but senior outside hitter Whitney Dosty knows that when it comes to the amount of success the Wildcats will have this year, the ball is in their court. “We just need to go out there and play like we’ve been training; other than that, you can’t worry about what the other team is doing so much as ourselves,” Dosty said. “I think if we just go out there and play hard, we’ll be okay.”

‘Cats not focused on preseason ranking

The Arizona volleyball team enters the 2010 season ranked 18th in the nation, according to the AVCA coach’s poll, but the Wildcats don’t feel any added pressure or expectations. “The thing about rankings for me, is VOLLEYBALL, page A9

Granderson hits 3-run homer, Yankees win 11-5 The Associated Press TORONTO — Curtis Granderson hit a three-run homer, Marcus Thames added a two-run drive and three other Yankees hit solo blasts as New York pounded the Toronto Blue Jays 11-5 on Tuesday night. Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada and Mark Teixeira also connected as the Yankees won for the sixth time in eight games. Teixeira and Posada both went 4 for 5 with two RBIs, while Thames and Granderson both had three hits. New York’s 17 hits were one shy of its season high. Right-hander Dustin Moseley (4-2) allowed two runs and five hits in six innings to win consecutive starts for the first time this season. He walked four and struck out four. Chad Gaudin pitched two innings and Kerry Wood worked the ninth for the Yankees. New York got its offensive barrage started early, with Teixeira hitting an RBI single in the first and Eduardo Nunez driving in a run with a fielder ’s choice grounder in the second. The Yankees chased Blue Jays lefthander Marc Rzepczynski (1-2) with a four-run, three-homer third. Teixeira was the first to go deep, hitting a oneout drive into the second deck in left, his 28th. Robinson Cano walked and Thames blasted his fifth, a shot to left, before Posada followed with his 16th, also to left. It was the sixth time this season the Yankees have hit back-toback homers. Rzepczynski allowed six runs and eight hits in three innings, his shortest career start. He walked two and struck out one. Toronto got one back on Vernon Wells’ run-scoring single in the fourth, his first RBI since Aug. 8, but the Yankees responded with a four-run fifth off reliever Brian Tallet. Granderson homered to right, his 14th, and Jeter ended a 131 at-bat homerless streak with a shot to left, giving him 15 consecutive seasons with at least 10 homers.

Venable, Denorfia go yard in Pads’ 5-0 win

SAN DIEGO — With 38 games to play, the San Diego Padres have matched last year ’s win total of 75. It’s a sign of their big turnaround, but the Padres want a lot more. Will Venable and Chris Denorfia hit two-run homers while left-hander Clayton Richard combined with four relievers on a five-hitter to help the NL West-leading Padres to a 5-0 win over the last-place Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night. The Padres improved to an NL-best 7549. Last year, they went 37-25 in the final two months to finish 75-87, leapfrogging Arizona to finish in fourth place. “If you look at those kind of numbers, obviously it shows how much we’ve progressed,” Venable said. “But the 75 wins last year, that was last year. We planned coming into the season to get more wins than that, so it’s nice to be on track.” Said manager Bud Black: “We’ll try to get 76 tomorrow.” The Padres retained their 5½-game lead over the San Francisco Giants, who beat Cincinnati 16-5. The Padres began a stretch in which they will play 16 games in 20 days at home, where they have won five straight and 13 of 16. Besides this three-game series, the Padres will play the Diamondbacks (49-77) again next week in Phoenix. Arizona has lost eight of 11. Richard (12-5) won his career-best fifth straight decision, over six starts. He allowed three hits while striking out eight and walking five. It was San Diego’s 16th shutout, second in the majors behind the New York Mets’ 18. Richard had runners on in five of his six innings, but none advanced beyond second base. “He worked his way out of a couple of jams. He’s got the arm, he’s got the makeup, he’s got the aptitude to be a successful pitcher,” Black said. “I was able to mix it up enough and throw enough strikes to keep them off balance, and really trust the defense,” Richard said.

that if you’re in the rankings it’s nice because people like to talk about it,” said head coach Dave Rubio. “It gives your program some notoriety, but I don’t put too much stock into them so early in the year… you just need to take them with a grain of salt and try to get ready for the first weekend.” Although her coach puts little stock into preseason rankings, junior middle blocker Courtney Karst seems excited by the national recognition. “Anything’s possible. We have control of our own destiny,” Karst said. “Preseason, it’s just based off what people think, so you want to get out there and prove yourself.” That’s just the kind of attitude that could put the team at the top of the rankings come the end of December.

Season ends in blood, sex and dreams Top-grossing films will trip you out and amp you up

By Brandon Specktor Arizona Daily Wildcat School’s back in session, but you can still sneak a taste of summer this weekend at the movies. Here are the popcorn movies to see (and not see) while the semester is still merciful.

Inception Warner Bros. Pictures Released: July 16th Gross to date: $262 million

A truck full of sleeping spies plummets off a watery bridge, a dapper thief shuffles his strung-up friends through a hallway in zero gravity, a snow-capped mountain trembles as gunfire erupts from a fortified hospital and a man sinks deep into his own subconscious to challenge the murderous memory of his dead wife. Four overlapping plot arcs build to four overlapping climaxes in the final minutes of “Inception,” the newest creation from Batman’s new daddy, Christopher Nolan. Is this an innovation in screen writing, or an excuse to blend the most marketable aspects of multiple genres? Who cares. It’s awesome, either way. “Inception” is a story of dreams, but not in the sense that “Free Willy” is a story of dreams. Leonardo DiCaprio plays Cobb, a man whose sole occupation is invading the dreams of corporate bigwigs and stealing the secrets they keep there. To do this, he and his crack team of thought thieves must reproduce believable realities within their mark’s soundly sleeping mind until their mental defenses lower to expose their most valuable secrets. If you think that sounds ridiculous, that only means you’re in the correct mental posture to enjoy the looping, leaping contours of the introspective “Inception” world. Like Nolan’s Gotham City, the world of “Inception” is dark and treacherous, but without a moral hero to protect it. Cobb is no Dark Knight: he is a killer, a thief and exploiter of mental

weakness. He would be perfectly unlikeable if his dreams were not tortured by the specter of his dead wife, Mal (the lovely Marion Cotillard), who takes every chance she gets to compound his mania. After being blackmailed, Cobb is forced to form a team to pull off one last job that involves planting thoughts, not stealing them. This risky process is known as inception (hey, that’s the name of the movie!) and requires delving into dreams within dreams within dreams. A plot that begins as a standard heist becomies a trippy club sandwich of genre blending. Level one of the dream is a Batman-style city assault, level two is suspenseful corporate espionage, level three apes snowy James Bond chases and level four is the dark, psychological turf of “Shutter Island” and “What Dreams may Come.” The action is undeniably attractive, and Nolan’s world is as sprawling and believable as anything he’s created to date, but sitting through Cobb’s emotional transformation can prove challenging. Ultimately, it’s hard to care about a man’s relationship to his wife and kids when he makes a living invading thoughts. It’s easy to get lost in the depth of the film’s dream worlds, but that’s part of the experience. An ambiguous ending has been the source of frustration for many viewers, but it also provides the incentive to score a second date and see the movie again. “Inception” makes dreaming exciting. Just don’t think about it too much.

Rating: 4/5

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World Universal Pictures Released: August 13th Gross to date: $20 million

Michael Cera wants sex. We know this because we’ve seen “Youth in Revolt,”

“Year One,” “Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist,” “Juno,” “Superbad,” and “Arrested Development.” Audiences of “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” can look forward to another two hours of Cera trying to score some pop-pop, but that’s not the only scoring going on. In Pilgrim’s video-game-framed universe, racking up points and defeating opponents are matters of life and certain death. It’s easy to condemn the film adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s “Scott Pilgrim” graphic novels to any list of adolescent sex comedies. At the center you’ve got a boy (Cera’s titular Pilgrim) going after a girl (Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s rainbow-haired Ramona Flowers), but impeded by circumstances of escalating wackiness (Bollywood brawls, high school assassins, invulnerable vegans, etc). That’s where the similarities end, and a wild, engrossing experiment in multimedia storytelling begins. In order for Scott to win Ramona, he must defeat her seven evil exes, each one representing not only an advance in Scott’s romantic quest, but caricatures of American subculture. A-list action star Lucas Lee is played by a perfectly douchey Chris Evans who encapsulates selfabsorbed Hollywood machismo. Gideon Graves, a record executive and leader of the evil exes, is a preening, patronizing hipster whose insincerity oozes out of Jason Schwartzman’s super-thick glasses. The video-game-like story progression is already laid out in the film’s premise, but director Edgar Wright (the genre-bending alchemist behind “Hot Fuzz” and “Shaun of the Dead”) keeps the Koopa shell in constant motion. The movie is bloated with references to gaming, including 8-bit Legend of Zelda sound bites and attribute bars that flash on screen whenever Scott takes a piss. There’s also a treasury

Photo courtesy ofteaser-traveler.com

of relics of ’90s youth culture. Seinfeld, Dance Dance Revolution and the grunge movement are all duly referenced — and parodied — throughout the film. All the music for Scott’s band, “Sex Bob-Omb,” is composed by ’90s troubadour, Beck and is nothing but addictive. Beyond the sometimes-alienating references, though, is a relatable story about the wages of romance. Scott not only has to defeat the league of exes, but also overcome his own history of selfishness. The moments in the film when Scott feels genuine guilt or confusion are the most moving, and they even take a step toward making Micahel Cera seem like a multidimensional actor. Sometimes. There’s still no shortage of George Michael Bluthbrand awkwardness. Whether you’ll enjoy “Scott Pilgrim” depends on whether or not you see the incessant references as gimmicks or bursts of glorious nostalgia. If you’ve never touched a Nintendo, you’ll be annoyed by the movie’s in-your-face interface, but still susceptible to the relatable romance beneath it all. Have you ever been in a doomed relationship? Have you ever wanted to combine your love of sex with a love of dueling to the death? See “Scott Pilgrim.” Right now.

Rating: 4/5

The Expendables Millennium Films Released: August 13th Gross to date: $65 million

Records of our ancestors tell of a great man called John Rambo. He crossed the seas to fight for his people in a dark and war-torn land. With naught but a blade and the company of fellow warriors he defied death in hostile jungles to preserve the values of our homeland, even so far away. And when he returned, he was met not with love and accolades for his bravery, but with shame and ridicule for the violence he wrought — the violence we asked of him. Do not forget John Rambo’s legacy. When you watch “The Expendables,” do not therefore blame Sylvester Stallone for writing, directing and starring in such a garbled action-porn garbage. Understand, instead, that it was we who asked this of him. After two weeks on screen, Stallone’s graceless ensemble action project remains in the number one box office spot. This can be taken as proof of the old Hollywood thesis that all you need to sell a movie is star power — and with names like Stallone (who is 64, BTW), Jason Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis and the Governator himself topping the bill, there’s

plenty of power. You can also take it as some kind of statement about American tastes, priorities — yadda, yadda, yadda — but it doesn’t matter. “The Expendables” is as disposable as its name promises, and that’s all it was meant to be. The plot is standard “redeemed warrior” fare. Stallone, as mercenary kingpin Barney Ross, leads a team of badasses into a Latin American country prone to revolution, challenges a dictator backed by mean corporate American money, fights to save a brave, exotic woman, learns to appreciate the camaraderie of his bros and finds a way to save his murderous soul in the process. Necks get snapped, dudes get shot, buildings get blown up and everyone nods in satisfaction. That’s all fine. If only the film stuck to the main action instead of weaving in so many tedious subplots. Ten minutes are reserved for Statham trying to win back his weekend girlfriend by pummeling the douchebag she’s been dating in his absence, another good segment is wasted on Jet Li whining about getting extra pay because he’s so short — a rare problem in his monumentally successful martial arts career — and Rourke’s only job on the squad seems to be supplying Stallone with tattoos and motivational speeches about pacifism that contradict the absurd body count racked up throughout. But plot is not why we go to action movies. We go for the sex and the ’splosions. For being a hyper-masculine fantasy, there is a surprising absence of sex in “Expendables,” even after Stallone and Statham break all those bones for the gals they love. But besides the celibacy, this flick is pure uber-male wish fulfillment. Our mercenary heroes leap into moving planes before dousing the countryside in gasoline and setting their enemies ablaze. They impale, dismember and decapitate foes with enormous computer-generated combat knives. Near a climax that truly challenges preconceptions about how many times a single building can explode, UFC’s Randy “The Natural” Couture gets into a brawl with WWE’s “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. Spoiler: One of them ends up engulfed in flames. So in the end, the “Expendables” really is a question of priorities. Are tiresome sub-plots, awkward fellatio jokes and distracting, unnecessary computer graphics worth the aged star power? Many will say no, and many have already said yes. The choice is yours, and that’s the beauty of John Rambo’s America.

UApresents a ‘Wicked’ season

“Dogtooth,” the strangely dark Greek film by director Yorgos Lanthimos that has been creating buzz since its New York release in late June, comes to The Loft this Friday. A story of fatherly brainwashing so full of social conditioning undertones should be hard to resist.

By Dallas Williamson Arizona Daily Wildcat

We all know that college is a great time to experience athletics at their finest, right? I mean, with programs like Zona Zoo, we as students get the opportunity to sit right in the stands and marvel as the quarterback sends the ball spiraling down the field, or watch as beads of sweat stream down the point guard’s face as he readies to shoot a free throw. However, this is only a fraction of the live entertainment available for UA students to enjoy. This year, UApresents has really outdone itself, offering a spectacular season of shows and entertainment. The season kicks off in September when the “Mariachi Sol de México” and “Vikki Carr” take the Centennial Hall stage, set to deliver an energetic performance in celebrating both the spirit of the band’s classic mariachi rhythms and Carr’s famed vocals. In October, while preschoolers will be squealing as Playhouse Disney’s “Choo-Choo Soul” rolls into town, classical music lovers are sure to delight in the Venice Baroque Orchestra’s appearance at the end of the month. Hailed by critics as one of Europe’s finest classical ensembles, the night’s program will feature not

3:20 and 7:45 p.m. Friday. $9 adults; $7 students; $6 children and seniors Not rated, but under 18 not admitted. Other show times listed on website: loftcinema.com/showtimes

only work by Vivaldi, but also a work by Philip Glass which was written to highlight the orchestra’s lead violinist Richard McDuffie. November becomes a month of energetic dancing as the quick-footed tapper Savion Glover takes the stage. Glover, who is known for his hit Broadway show “Bring in ‘da Noise, Bring in ‘da Funk,” takes rhythmic acoustics to the floor — literally — in his new show “SoLo in TiME.” However, audiences will see a softer and more elegant take on the art form when the Paul Taylor Dance Company returns to Tucson to perform several of Taylor’s celebrated works. And what’s in store for December? It’s all about the theatrics. With Tony, Grammy and Oscar-winner Liza Minnelli hitting the stage, as well as the extraordinary spectacle “Cirque Dreams: Illumination,” both your eyes and ears are sure to be in awe. As spring moves in, Centennial Hall will be a non-stop venue for live music, dance and enjoyment. From January until May, UApresents roster includes jazz performances by such artists as Jimmy Cobb, T.S. Monk, Jazz at Lincoln Center with Wynton Marsalis and The Del McCoury Band with Preservation Hall Jazz Band. Visual entertainment is not in short supply either. Dancers

from the university’s very own UA Dance Ensemble share the season’s program along with several other world-renowned artists, including Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Martha Graham Dance Company, Trey McIntyre Project and even the Blue Man Group. And let’s not forget about scheduled performances by violinist Joshua Bell, Kronos Quartet and Septeto Nacional de Cuba. And last but not least, the highlight of the season: “Wicked.” Copresented by Broadway in Tucson and UApresents, the Grammy and Tony award-winning Broadway hit is flying into Centennial Hall from Jan. 5-23, 2011. Never made it to New York? Now is your chance to see just what happened before Dorothy landed in Oz and hear the songs that made this show famous. To put it simply, there is a show for everyone — every interest and every age. Plus more. Hence, although watching a football player fly through the air to make an interception is certainly thrilling, try picturing someone hoisted into the air, on cue … while singing. That’s something you won’t find in any arena. For a full list of shows and more information about dates and tickets visit: uapresents.org.

Solo debut commands attention By Steven Kwan Arizona Daily Wildcat ’It can be difficult for musicians to launch a solo career if fans already know them as part of a popular band. As a band member of Bon Iver, Sean Carey — or S. Carey — which is his solo performance name, faces rather high expectations with his debut album, All We Grow. While reminiscent of Bon Iver’s music, S. Carey has crafted a set of songs that demonstrates his own formidable skill as a singer-songwriter. All We Grow reveals the influence of S. Carey’s classical percussion degree from the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire with its broad palette of dynamic range and aural texture, and it rewards careful attention. Opener “Move” begins with layered droning and ambient sounds that lead into S. Carey’s gentle guitar and soft voice singing about a dream of vacant piers and his fingers running through his lover’s hair. The rhythm picks up with “We Fell” and “In the Dirt” where a driving piano chord supports

S. Carey’s supple singing. Two instrumental songs, “Rothko Fields” and “Action,” serve to bookend the centerpiece, “Mothers.” Its gentle looping melody and S. Carey’s wistful voice build to a crest and finish the song like an ocean wave lapping onto a beach. Even though it clocks in at 39.5 minutes, All We Grow feels like a much longer album — not necessarily a bad quality to convey. Listening to S. Carey’s debut demands some patience, or at the very least, a period of time when the TV is turned off, the web browser is closed and new e-mails are ignored. All We Grow is not a soundtrack for the lingering hot summer days, but a sign of the quiet autumn sunsets soon to come. S. Carey will be performing with The Tallest Man On Earth at Club Congress on Sept. 15.

“A History of Forgotten Things” is far from forgettable By Miranda Butler Arizona Daily Wildcat Released on August 10, A History of Forgotten Things is the first album by singer/ songwriter Jed Whedon. It’s made an impressive splash and is presently in the iTunes’ top 100 album downloads. The album has surpassed Miranda Lambert’s Revolution and Taylor Swift’s Fearless in current popularity. So what’s all the hype about? This may be Jed’s first CD, but it isn’t his debut in the industry. Jed is also a successful screenwriter à la Fox’s thrilling series “Dollhouse” and the Emmy award-winning film “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog.” What’s more, Jed has written music featured in videogames, web shows and TV series. Now, in “A History of Forgotten Things,” Jed finally has a chance to create something completely independent and personal — and he doesn’t disappoint. The album could best be classified as a refreshing mix of alternative, indie rock and ambient styles. If I had to compare, I would say that the sound lies somewhere between the smooth beats of Sherwood, the harmonized choruses of The Shins and the twinkling rifts of Owl City. The footnotes and histories found in the album’s pamphlet make it apparent that Jed

Whedon is a writer. But when examining his heartfelt lyrics and overarching themes, Jed’s talent really shines through. Jed was recently interviewed by his brother, Joss, for the online fansite “Whedonesque”. (The website is dedicated to Joss Whedon, who is also a prolific screenwriter and the director of the up and coming movie “The Avengers”.) In the interview, Jed discussed the album’s title and his motivation. He said that: (The theme is) nostalgia, I guess. The title comes from a few things — the terrifying feeling that we are forgetting our life as it rolls along … as well as the sensation that history can give you. A feeling that is indescribable. That feeling of connection through the ages. It is related to nostalgia.” These themes are brilliantly captured by Jed’s songs. Track six is a brief but captivating piece entitled “Ancestors,” which, in two verses, contrasts the modern world and ancient man. In the first verse, Jed writes, “The fire dances with our ancestors the stars/See how they glow” whereas in the second, he says, “We’re leaving orbit soon/OMS thrusters full, slingshot around the moon.” Backed with haunting resonance and a distorted melody, the song, like the whole album, is truly poetic and invites the listener into a contemplative state.

By Kellie Mejdrich Arizona Daily Wildcat Who knew suburban life could inspire such poetry? Arcade Fire make the macabre addictive again with The Suburbs, released this month. The Montreal-based musicians have shifted their chilling, lyrically-powered lens toward life in suburbia, detailing repressive boredom, listlessness and just what those kids are up to in their signature anthemic sheen. Frontman Win Butler croons: “I know we are the chosen few/But we’re wasted/And that’s why we’re still waiting.” Such tragic romance for white picket fences and a car parked in every driveway. Yet Arcade Fire do not wholeheartedly disparage the suburbs as a dreamless wasteland. Rather, it is a place where kids “seem wild but they are so tame/They’re moving towards you with their colors all the same.” Sometimes being asleep isn’t so easy to recognize. The album, at times, becomes frantic, decrying the soullessness of this heavilyconstructed environment, as heard in the laid-back, vampy track, “City With No Children”: “I feel like I’ve been living in/A city with no children in it/A

garden left for ruin by a millionaire inside/Of a private prison.” Of course it’s hell. But it’s home. It’s also central to Arcade Fire’s identity, as sung in “Wasted Hours” : “We’re still kids in buses longing to be free.” The birthplace of angst isn’t all bad — what would Arcade Fire be without the suburbs? Another notable track include the velvety-smooth “Half Light,” an exemplary use of the minor chord. Butler and Régine Chassagne’s duet is a testament to the versatility of the band, with Chassagne’s lessoften-heard voice adding an ethereal dimension to the album. Overall, The Suburbs is an opus to the beautiful disaster that is life toocomfortable. And if it keeps creating music like this, it’s probably good if it’s here to stay. Arcade Fire prove that something really tremendous can come out of nothing.

Back-to-school guide:

How to find the right video game for your gaming personality

By Jason Krell Arizona Daily Wildcat

There are currently thousands of video games, and more are added every year. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to try and sift through all the titles to find one you’ll enjoy. Making it even harder is the fact that there are countless different types of gamers who all prefer certain types of games over others. So, how can new gamer you avoid wasting your Though some people can’t believe it, a video game in your money by buying a game you’ve never played life. Maybe you’ve watched your friends on occasion, you might not like? That’s but it was just never something you were interested in. But now simple. Just take a look that’s changed. You think it’s about time at this back-to-school you give gaming a shot, at least to see if it’s worth all the hype. There’s only one problem: guide for all of your You don’t know where to start. Not only do you have no idea what games you might like, essential gaming you don’t even know all the genres. This is a problem, but one that is easily fixed. information, There are classics in every category, and if you’re really interested in getting started, it’s find which worth trying them all out at some point. Most of these games are old, but, if anything, that category fits just means getting them will be cheaper. To start, try the “Halo” series. Any of them you and head will do as a test for the first-person shooter genre, and you’ll probably fall in love. With to your local an epic story and an iconic hero, you really can’t go wrong. gamestore.

Next you’ll want to try the Legend of Zelda series and probably start with the “Ocarina of Time.” It’s a classic and possibly the most acclaimed game in the long-lived franchise. If you like this one, feel free to try other adventure games. Though it may seem like it’s for kids, I still swear by “Pokémon,” especially for new gamers. It’s a fun and easy strategy game that has as much depth as you want. You can play through New Happy Hours it without doing much but fighting, or you can partake in 11:00AM-5:00PM every side feature.

way to learn about the action-adventure genre. It lets you skulk about and assassinate helpless targets in myriad ways that are all fun. What’s even better is that the story is Dan Brown-esque and will hook anyone who happens to enjoy those types of stories. Not to be forgotten is the sports genre, the one that probably pulls the most male players consistently. Obviously there are a large handful of sports to pick from, but the undisputed champion of the sporting arena is the “Madden” series. Try some of the more recent ones for an easier time, but any of them will be fun for anyone — from fairweather to fervent football fans. From there, branch out to your favorite sports. The “2K” series is one you can always count on and has games in nearly every sport.

party gamer You’re the kind of person who only plays socially. If you’re having a party, or just some friends over, you’re glad to bust out a game for everyone to play. You don’t really play for yourself; you play to be with others. Multiplayer is your best friend; others won’t find their way into your library. Perhaps you’re competitive and enjoy beating your friends, or maybe you just like to show off in front of everyone. Either way, there is a small but stacked

sliver of games dedicated just to you. Though new games meant mostly for multiplayer don’t come out as often as some other kinds, there are still plenty you’ll want. First and foremost, “Rock Band” will be your new best friend. When you can’t actually play an instrument yourself, this is the next best option. Once you’re on expert, you’re halfway to almost impressing someone with how fast you can hammer-on a five button guitar solo. You’ll also be able to form a realfake band with your friends and play private gigs where your audience consists of your pets, your roommates, or no one. Alright, so that makes the game sound pretty lame, but “Rock Band 3” will offer much more than the faux feeling of fame mentioned before. When it’s released on Oct. 26, you’ll be able to plug in a real electric guitar, bass or keyboard and learn to actually play the instrument like players had always hoped. Musically-challenged nerds around the world will suddenly be transformed into guitar-wielding Casanovas who finally have a skill no girl could fail to appreciate. Even if that’s not your goal in the end, it’s still amazing and should be a blast. Don’t worry if music isn’t your scene, though. There are two more series — both with Mario’s face slapped on them — that can always turn a tight knit group of friends into vicious animals desperate to win no matter the cost. These games are, of course, “Mario Party” and “Super Smash Bros.” The originals are always the best, but the newer ones are good fun, too. No matter which you pick, these will whip you into a frenzy and provide some competitive fun.

casual gamer You’re the kind of person who doesn’t play video games more than a few times a week. You prefer to play games that get to the fun part quickly. While an occasional challenge is welcome, you just want to run through hundreds of enemies, looking like a badass. That, or get your character to the strongest point as fast as possible to see all the cool end-game material. If this description fits, you’re going to want to stick to your first-person shooters, fighters and hack ’n’ slash games. Games like “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” or “Medal of Honor” are perfect for you. On the one hand, you can play through the campaign and mow down hundreds of enemies while getting to enjoy an action packed — though not particularly creative — story. When you’re done there, you can always move onto the online multiplayer and hone your skills. You might enjoy it so much that you upgrade to hardcore gamer

status. Your social life may suffer, but no one else gets head shots like you. Another option for the casual gamer is an adventure game like “Prototype,” which, while not as popular as some titles, allows the player to rip through the streets of New York as a man-turned-geneticmonster who wants revenge for what was done to him. Both games are easy to pick up and put down, but if they don’t suit your needs, worry not! There are always new games coming out to satisfy every gamer’s needs. “The Sims 3,” due to drop on Oct. 26 for all systems, will let you manipulate multiple virtual lives as if they were the real thing. So, if you like to have control or merely want to live out your fantasy life, this would be a great game for you. Going through everyday life sound boring for a video game? Well then, you may want to consider “Bulletstorm” when it comes out in February. In it, you’ll be able to perform more ridiculous and awesome kills than in any game of its kind. Whether you want to kick mutants’ faces in or blow them up with massive guns, this game is for you because both can be done at the same time. You’re still not excited? Think about this then: Marvel’s Captain America punching Ryu from “Street Fighter” in the face. Ryu then responds with a Had-ken, and Wolverine steps in to block it. At that point Dante from the “Devil May Cry” series pile drives his huge sword into the “X-men” hero. This is not a fan-boy’s dream. It’s a gamer’s reality. When “Marvel vs. Capcom 3” is released in early 2011 you’ll be able to bash your favorite characters from both the Marvel and the Capcom franchises non-stop. And if that isn’t enough, the lineup is even more diverse than those four characters make it appear.

HARDCORE GAMER You’re more than willing to spend hours in front of a TV playing the newest game you can find. It’s not all you do, of course, but you’re more than happy to pass the time that way when you can. You like a game with depth and complexity. You’ve played so many games that anything unoriginal or simple will just seem dull. Everything you play is held to such a high standard because your longstanding gaming history has made you somewhat of a critic. You may have a niche or genre you prefer, but in the end you have favorites in every category. For you, video games are an art to be admired, just like a beautiful painting or a fine wine. Aged or new, you appreciate all the time and quality that went into making each game you play. As mentioned, you play it all. In all honesty, you probably already wanted every game on this list, plus more. If by now you’ve also noticed that two particular genres are missing from those mentioned so far, you’re definitely hardcore; good job. The reason is because they’re a type of game only you have the patience and capacity for. Whereas most players get bored, you

devour RPGs in their entirety, never stopping until you unlock everything and defeat all the hidden bosses. In addition to that, only you have the patience to spend the weeks of practice necessary to develop a winning strategy for a real time strategy game. Two prime examples you probably already have are “Mass Effect 2” and “Starcraft 2,” two highly anticipated sequels that are big contenders for best game of the year. If you have yet to buy and beat them, get to the game store now. “Mass Effect 2” is a must-have whether you played the first or not simply because of the gripping story and exciting game play. Mixing action with RPG has proved to be a potent combination. “Starcraft 2” should need no introduction, but for those aspiring hardcore gamers, here it is: For 12 years, gamers have waited for Blizzard to finish the next installation of the series so popular that it’s one of the highestpaying sports jobs in Korea. It’s finally out, and it is everything one could have hoped for. It gives the game and story the update it needed without changing the essence that made it so enjoyable. Most of the time, when a developer releases a sequel that’s too much like the original, it’s a disaster. “Starcraft 2” avoids this mistake; it’s just what we all wanted. As far as what to look for in the future, there are too many goodies to list them all, but there are a select few that all are right up your alley. If you need a good RPG, just wait for “Fable III” or “Fallout: New Vegas,” two very different but very awesome franchises that won’t disappoint. Want action-adventure? You should pick up either “Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood,” “inFamous 2” or “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II.” All are sequels but will be better than the games they followed. If all that isn’t enough for you, you’ll want a game that is a mix of all those games and more. “Deus Ex: Human Revolution” is actually a prequel to the series that was popular back in the early 2000s. In it, you can sneak, shoot, talk or hack your way through every mission in a cyberpunk near-future. You’ll want to be first in line at the midnight release.

Douglas Nielsen exhibits personality through collection remember that made sense to me at the time, and I was drawn to her eccentricity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it has no doubt rubbed off. She used to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find things, they find meâ&#x20AC;?. Â Did you buy it with the end goal of a large collection in mind,

By Maitri Mehta Arizona Daily Wildcat Art collecting is a very personal experience. Did you have any hesitation about allowing the Tucson Museum of Art to display your pieces? Putting a collection on public view most definitely exposes the personality of the collector. But the same is true about my choreography. If you want to know anything about me, just look at the stage. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been able to separate myself from my work, or my collection. Choices define our lives. The amount of art, and what one calls art, is virtually limitless. Why did I pick this one, over another one?Â I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the answer to that. The work currently on exhibit at TMA represents choices I have made over the last 40 years. Every piece has a story. Â Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very intimate thing to live with art.Â And that intimacy makes it alive. I had no hesitation whatsoever in putting this work on view at the museum. All they had to do was ask. What was the first piece you bought for your collection? Â This question always stumps me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure I have a clear memory, or definitive answer. I do recognize that my great Aunt Lil, who used to take care of me as a child, was a collector. I would observe her passion for finding things, like an old painting, that instantly became important simply because she liked it. I

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making a dance is like drawing. The only difference is, a dance wastes no time in escaping the present.Â Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone the second after you see it. You have to love it for what you remember about it. â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Douglas Nielsen Professor, UA School of Dance or is it something that developed organically over time? Â Â If someone had told me that my collection would end up in a museum exhibit some day, I would have laughed. It never entered my mind. It was never my objective to create a collection â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it just happened. How do you think your love for fine art informs your passion for performance art/dance, and vice versa? Â

Â Well, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all connected. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t separate it. Making a dance is like drawing. The only difference is, a dance wastes no time in escaping the present. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone the second after you see it. You have to love it for what you remember about it. And everyone has their own personal memory â&#x20AC;&#x201D; probably based on their experience. Like the mandala sand paintings by the Buddhist monks; they destroy it soon after it is made. Â Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the process of making a dance for the closing ceremonies at TMA on Oct. 10. The dance will be informed by the art on the walls, and the architecture of the space.Â When the dance is over, it will be gone forever. If you blink, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss it. How do you choose pieces for your collection? Is there a cohesive element that runs throughout? Â Â The thread that runs through the collection is something I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite decipher.Â Other people have been commenting on an existing cohesiveness, but I guess Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m too inside of it to see what ties them together. I see relationships, and the presence of the human condition, but, no, I never expected this collection would make sense to anyone but me. Â Have you met any of the artists personally? Â Yes, I try to make it my duty to meet the artists. Meeting them makes it real, and it shatters any

mystique that might surround them. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see artists as celebrities. Unless they are playing a game of flim flam, they are the most down-to-earth people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever met. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never regretted shaking the hand that made the art I live with. Arts education has been fighting to survive in the past few years with budget cuts. What message do you think needs to be conveyed to assert the importance of fine arts in young studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives? Â Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m currently reviewing proposals for a National Education Association panel in Washington D.C. in September. The panel is called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Learning in the Arts

for Children and Youth Dance.â&#x20AC;? Reading each summary, from each proposal, has renewed my belief in the importance of art in the lives of young people.Â Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so impressed by the organizations that strive to integrate art into education. I know they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all be funded, but I wish we could take a little of that money going off to war, and invest it in our childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to imagine. Every child has the ability to make things. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it ever gets taught out of us, but, more often than not, it gets buried. Artists remind us of what we already know. We just have to keep being reminded.

Tucson gets a taste of the Big Apple features a wide variety of flavors to tantalize your taste buds. The restaurant lives up to its slogan, “the best of New York without the attitude.” The pizza crust isn’t the very best, but it gets the job done. The red sauce is a nice blend of sweet and savory, and they are generous with the cheese. My dinner date, David, and I stuck to traditional flavors on our visit — cheese and pepperoni — and weren’t disappointed. For twenty bucks we got two bottled sodas, two nice-sized slices of pizza, a large salad to share and an order of a dozen barbeque wings. Service was fast, food was good and the staff is fantastically friendly. You can dine outside or sit in what will be the bar area.

By Ali Freedman Arizona Daily Wildcat A new pizza joint has set up shop on Congress Street in downtown Tucson and has yet to disappoint. Empire Pizza and Pub opened over the summer to feed the hungry masses downtown. While the pub part hasn’t yet been fulfilled — the owners are waiting for their liquor license to be approved — they’ve definitely got pizza down. Offering an array of pizzas, wings, salads, subs and desserts, Empire has a little bit of everything. Grab a cheese slice for $2.50 or a whole pizza for between $13 and $21. With everything from your traditional cheese to pesto pizzas, Empire

Empire is clean and nice, not your local grease ball pizza joint by any means. Because of its great hours, you can visit Empire anytime. They open daily at 11 a.m. and stay open until 10 p.m. on weekdays. But never fear — on weekends, you can get your Empire fix until 3 a.m. They deliver, too. What’s not to like? Empire Pizza and Pub is a welcome addition to the downtown restaurant scene. When the bar is up and running, Empire will be the one-stop shop for pizza and a beer downtown. Empire does it right by keeping things simple; it doesn’t need all the bells and whistles of fancy pizza joints. Empire has good pizza, a great selection of toppings and does the simple stuff right.

“Micmacs,” playing at The Loft Cinema through Aug. 27, is a whimsical foray into the depths of the human spirit. From French director Jean-Pierre Jeunet of “Amélie” fame, “Micmacs” is guilty of delicious quirkiness. The plot follows Bazil (Dany Boon), a lonely video store employee whose life is upturned one night when a stray bullet from a drive-by shooting strikes him square in the forehead. Luckily — or perhaps by the hand of fate — Bazil survives; however, the conditions of his life after almost-death are delicate. Remove the bullet, and Bazil could become a vegetable; leave it lodged in his head, and at any moment his brain could implode, ending his life. Bazil emerges from his confrontation with the afterlife into a different kind of afterlife. His job has been taken from him, his home has been looted and he has been long orphaned after his father was struck down by a freak mining accident in Bazil’s youth. Still, he remains optimistic and by chance meets Placard, an older, mysterious gentleman who introduces Bazil to a group of eccentric misfits living in a makeshift treasure trove of a home in the city’s dump. Through a twist of fate, Bazil is able to confront both the weapons moguls who killed his father and almost ended his own life. With the help of his new

Questions and Answers On Academic Advising

Sponsored by the Advising Resource Cener

Welcome new students and welcome back returning students! The start of the semester brings a lot of excitement and anticipation. As you embark on this semester, here are some of the things for you to think about to help ensure you’re starting off on the right foot: • Finalize your schedule • Do you have all the classes you need? If you want to add a class, you can do so on UAccess through Monday, August 30. If the class is full, you can try adding the class with a change of schedule form - the form and instructions are online at the Office of the Registrar’s web site. •Did you complete any transfer coursework over the summer or receive scores from AP exams? If so, make sure that the official transcript and/or score report is sent to the U of A as soon as possible so the coursework/exam can be evaluated. Even if the transcript hasn’t yet arrived, it would be a good idea to speak with your academic advisor to make sure the credit you’ll receive won’t be duplicating credit for a class you’ve enrolled in this semester. •Check deadlines •There are many important dates and deadlines. Did you know that there is a $25 late fee beginning Monday, August 30 for dropping a class? The last day to drop a class without receiving a “W” on your transcript is September 17. From September 18 until October 15, you must have the instructor’s permission to drop a class and you will a receive a “W” on your transcript. You can find this information and more by clicking on “Calendar/Events” at the top of the UA web page. Click on “Registration Dates and Deadlines.” • Confirm Financial Aid Requirements •If you receive federal financial aid, it is very important that you are enrolled in the number of units you declared on your FAFSA. If those numbers don’t match, your aid will not be distributed. If you have any questions about your financial aid, visit a counselor in Administration 208 or email askaid@email.arizona.edu • Get involved! • The UA has a wonderful week of activities and events planned for all students...everything from music on the mall to an ice cream bash. It’s all for you! Check out the full listing of Wildcat Welcome events here: http://www.union.arizona.edu/welcome/ • One of the Wildcat Welcome events is a Student Involvement Fair on the mall. Did you know that the UA has approximately 500 clubs and organizations on campus? Learn more about the many different opportunities to meet others with similar interests and have fun.

patchwork family, Bazil discovers that he is capable of anything. “Micmacs” boasts a cast that is rich with talent. Dany Boon, playing Bazil, has a successful career as a comedian and his background in comedy is apparent. He is subtly funny, often miming and using facial expressions to develop his character. Placard is played by acclaimed French actor Jean-Pierre Marielle, whose career is peppered with extremely serious, heavy roles and light-hearted ones alike. The latter is certainly the picture of Placard — a French gentleman with a booming laugh. Also among the cast is Yolande Moreau, playing the matriarch of the cast of misfits, and Dominique Pinon as a daredevillike, aggressive former human canon, but one with a good heart. Though the plot is patchy at times and somewhat difficult to follow, the overall sense of fun uplifts the film and doesn’t beg for it to be taken too seriously. The characters are easy to become attached to, and the crew of misfits has an upbeat charm. Even the villains are delightfully evil. The film has an optimistic happy message about finding family and happiness in unlikely places and good triumphing over evil. It is also visually appetizing, with Jeunet’s imagination rendering everything from the characters’ clothing to the interior design of the settings in a whimsical edge. “Micmacs” is a feelgood French film and is definitely worth a trip to The Loft.
