A new center housing some of the UA’s research and outreach initiatives aims to foster collaboration, attract grants and improve education.

Administrators from several colleges are heading plans for the UA STEM Learning Center. STEM fields, or science, technology, engineering and math, have been the focus of national attention as professionals seek to increase the number of teachers who go into the areas and improve education.

The UA has many STEM resources for students, teachers and the community, said William McCallum, head of the math department and co-director of the center. But people don’t always know where to look for them.

A physical location would give community members a place to start, as well as allow more collaboration between colleges and faculty, McCallum said.

“It will be a central clearing house,” he said. “Our efforts can be promoted. It could really help us produce more energy.”

Conversations about the center began less than a year ago, said Elliott Cheu, associate dean of the College of Science. A steering committee will meet this month to determine its visions for the center.

The Flandrau Science Center could be the new home of the STEM center because it is already a hub of outreach activities, Cheu said. Having a staff familiar with the UA’s resources will be helpful for teachers or community members looking for programs.

“Most people in the community have had an experience at the Flandrau Center,” Cheu said. “We want to keep that

ne ride in J.J.’s shuttle is like stepping into a different world, one where J.J. has created a reputation as one of the first numbers some freshmen program into their phone. They call him by name and he knows all his customers by name as well.

When J.J., a UA alumnus, first started J.J’s Shuttle and Taxi Service seven years ago with only three cabs, it was prompted by his desire to spend more time with his own children. But soon his business began booming, pushing him to adopt shuttles for his clients instead.

J.J. described seven years of shuttle nights as “so hilarious” with “one thing after another” occurring.

Seconds after jumping into the shuttle, J.J. receives a call on his cellphone and exclaims, “We’re off!”

Researcher gets caught in the Web

By Stewart McClintic Daily Wildcat

The Internet could be faster, more reliable and use less energy.

The UA, along with eight other universities, is doing research using optics to make this possible.

“We are not taking advantage of the full potential of the Internet,” said Nasser Peyghambarian, a professor of optical sciences and director of the Center for Integrated Access Networks.

The Internet is set up with an electrical node on either end of the system with fiber optics running in between, Peyghambarian said.

Though a computer’s download speeds may be a few megabits per second, the Internet itself is actually much faster, potentially by hundreds of gigabits per second.

Optics, though, is much faster than electronics, so that is what the research team is using to try and increase Internet speeds, and with a lower rate of energy consumption.

Peyghambarian said that, by using optics instead of electronic nodes at the ends of the equation, the electrical efficiency of a connection would rise by a factor of two.

It is hard to tell exactly how much energy each kind of module will

use because each individual one can vary, he said.

Peyghambarian coordinates all nine universities working on the project. The goal of the center is to solve the data crisis by bringing optoelectronic technology, devices

that source, detect and control light, to its full potential. According to its website, “The vision of CIAN is to create transformative technologies for optical access networks where virtually any application requiring any resource can be seamlessly

and efficiently aggregated and interfaced with existing and future core networks in a cost-effective manner.”

The project is now in its fourth year of a five-year, $18.5 million contract from the National Science

Foundation. Peyghambarian said the project will be given another five years and another grant that will put the total cost at about $40 million.

Massoud Karbassian, a research associate in the College of Optical Sciences, explained exactly what was going on in the test lab at the UA, which hosts research by all nine universities.

“We’re dealing with the problem meeting electronics with optics,” he said. He explained that what they can currently do is put a computer chip into a device, shoot a laser through it, and transmit the information on the chip over a small-scale Internet model in the test lab.

Peyghambarian said the Internet is a device that has changed people’s lives since its existence and that the research lab is doing everything it can do to make it better.

Psychology freshman Travis Delly said he has problems with the Internet in his dorm room in Hopi Lodge Residence Hall. He said sometimes the Internet will randomly disconnect while playing video games.

“I think this is a very worthwhile project,” Delly said, “because without Internet, how are we going to get our work done?”

State examines a rail New center opens alternative to the I-10 for fever research UA expands its Valley Fever Center to Phoenix St. Joseph’s hospital

By Kyle Mittan Daily Wildcat

The possibility of riding the rails between Phoenix and Tucson was raised during an Arizona Department of Transportation open house on the UA Mall on Friday.

Although the process for an intercity rail system is in the preliminary research stage, the idea of having a faster means of transportation between Tucson and Phoenix has been around for several decades. The first study was completed in 1980, according to Michael Kies, assistant director of planning and programming for the Department of Transportation.

The plan wasn’t adopted until March earlier this year.

And with the rail system now in the early stages, the Arizona Public Interest Research Group is encouraging Arizonans to get involved and voice their opinions.

According to the organization’s website, 75 percent of Arizona’s population lives in either the Phoenix or Tucson area, and 85 percent of all jobs in Arizona are located in the area known as the Sun Corridor. The Arizona Public Research Interest Group predicts that these numbers will quickly increase in a matter of years. But the two cities are not connected by public transportation.

As with most large, state-funded jobs, what the rail system will cost and how it will be paid for are major concerns, both for the prospective riders and the Department of Transportation. While cost can only be determined through the study itself, funding for projects like this one follow a standard procedure, according to C.T. Revere, senior communications officer for the Safford district of the Department of Transportation.

“Right now, the only thing that’s funded is the study,” Revere said. “The way the Department of Transportation funds major projects like this is with a federal process … we get public input, we assess

the environmental and cultural impacts, and once we get through all of these things, the state will start lobbying for federal funding.”

Regardless of the cost, there hasn’t been much talk of the project’s disadvantages.

Positive environmental effects have been a major consideration throughout the process.

“Putting in this rail system will result in fewer cars using I-10,” said Serena Unrein, public interest advocate for the Arizona Public Research Interest Group. “I think that would, in turn, create better air quality in both Tucson and Phoenix.”

There is also a strong emphasis on the opportunities for job creation.

“Building this will create a lot of construction jobs, and obviously it takes people to operate, maintain and work on those rails, as well,” Revere said.

ADOT also predicts the new rail system will have to work directly with other public transportation services, such as the local bus

systems. The Federal Transit Administration will look for “feeder systems” — methods to get riders to and from the train stations — in all cities throughout the Sun Corridor, Kies said.

Many UA students have said they like the idea of a rail system between Arizona’s two largest cities.

Erin McRoy, a freshman studying English, said her lack of a car kept her from going to Phoenix.

“I don’t travel to Phoenix a lot, but that’s because I don’t have a car, so traveling is kind of a pain in the butt,” McRoy said. “But I do have family and friends that are in the Phoenix area, and it would be nice to visit them. So, yeah, I would definitely consider something like that … and it’s got to be better than the Greyhound.”

Some students who aren’t from Arizona have decided that the rail system could benefit them as well.

“I’m an out-of-state student from Utah,” said Alex Cohen, a senior studying finance and mechanical engineering. “Flights are so much cheaper from Phoenix that it would definitely pay for itself.”

The idea for an intercity rail system has some people feeling hopeful that it will work out in the years to come, but the project’s process depends on the opinions of the communities.

The UA has agreed to expand its efforts in valley fever research by opening a new center in Phoenix.

The UA’s Valley Fever Center for Excellence, located at the University of Arizona Medical Center-University Campus is set to open a valley fever research center in Phoenix at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center.

Coccidioidomycosis, commonly known as valley fever, is a disease that occurs when fungus spores found in soil particles are breathed in and cause an infection in the lungs. The disease is typically reported in dry desert regions like the Southwestern United States and parts of central South America. Symptoms include fever, chest pain, joint stiffness and coughing.

“The spores start to multiply and that causes the infection, usually pneumonia,” said Dr. John Galgiani, founder of the UA’s Valley Fever Center for Excellence and director of the new center. “In many people, the immune system controls that infection and is common with maybe 100,000 infections a year in Arizona.

But out of that large denominator, a small percentage of people get fairly sick. The fungus leaves the lungs and goes to other parts of the body.”

When left untreated, valley fever can result in death.

The UA wanted to establish a center in Phoenix because 80 percent of all cases of valley fever in Arizona occur in Maricopa County, Galgiani said. Galgiani said he thinks this is because of the heavy population in the western endemic region known for valley fever.

“It’s a good place to have more of a clinical presence,” Galgiani said. “We are going to be practicing a combination of things at the new center.”

When established, the center will be used to treat patients with valley fever as well as increase awareness and medical education about the disease through research.

“We do want to make the new center an access for patients who need help,” Galgiani said. “Because of the location, patient care can be handled either at St. Joseph’s or by center members who practice around that area.”

The UA’s Valley Fever Center for Excellence is the only center in the world that specializes in valley fever research and treatment. Throughout the day, the center takes calls from other hospitals treating people with lung diseases around the nation and even other countries.

“Right now I will be calling a doctor in Australia who is taking care of a patient with meningitis,” said Galgiani when explaining what the current and new centers are practicing. “We think we are doing some good.”

As employment numbers creep Arizona Daily Wildcat Monday Mega up, economic fears decrease Market MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — Betterthan-expected employment numbers Friday eased recession fears, but experts warned that the economy remains vulnerable because employers are adding new jobs at an insufficient pace to make a dent in the high unemployment rate.

Employers added 103,000 jobs in September, the Department of Labor said. It also revised sharply upward the tepid hiring numbers for July and August by a combined 99,000 jobs. The unemployment rate stayed unchanged at 9.1 percent.

Most analysts had expected between 25,000 and 70,000 jobs to be added in September.

Private-sector jobs grew by 137,000, but that was offset by a decline of 35,000 government jobs.

“The job numbers remain disappointing in that unemployment is very high, and given the current pace of job growth, will not come down anytime soon,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist for forecaster Moody’s Analytics.

“The economy needs to create at least 125,000 jobs per month on a consistent basis just to maintain the unemployment rate.”

To really knock down the jobless rate, the economy needs to create as many this year. as 200,000 jobs per month, Zandi said that the risk of something it last did on aver- recession remains high. age from February to April “If anything else goes wrong

— and there are many potential threats from Europe to the foreclosure crisis — businesses will start cutting payrolls and the economy will slide into recession,” he said.

Still, the 137,000 private sector jobs went well beyond the 91,000 measured in the ADP National Employment Report that came out Wednesday and was an encouraging number given other recent good news.

Brian Hamilton, CEO of Sageworks, a financial research group that keeps data on companies that don’t issue stock, said that privately held companies are seeing a 5 percent to 6 percent increase in sales this year, something that may eventually translate into hiring.

Robbins and Scaliti joke with J.J. like he’s another sorority sister. They describe how he knows all about the random hookups (some of them even in the back of his shuttle) and has witnessed the many “walk of shames” through campus.

visibility.”

STEM initiatives at the UA range from undergraduate research opportunities to activities introducing girls to science.

Many of these programs are focused on improving STEM education through the preparation of teachers.

The UA Center for Recruitment and Retention of Mathematics Teachers recently received a $1 million Transitions to Teaching grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The grant will be used to create the Southern Arizona Inducting New Teachers program.

New math teachers have a high turnover rate, with as many as half of them quitting within three years, said Cody Patterson, director of the center.

The pressure to increase standardized test scores and teach large classes creates a high-stress environment, Patterson said.

Fifty new middle school and high school math teachers placed at highneed schools will be inducted over five years. The program provides funding to these teachers and requires them to attend monthly workshops on how to handle students and parents and how to create effective lesson plans.

“It will help with those first few stressful years,” said Patterson, who added the new STEM center could help teachers connect to resources.

The program relies on collaboration with the College of Education, Patterson said. The STEM center aims to promote these types of relationships throughout campus.

“There’s certainly coordination, but not to the degree it could be,” said Bruce Johnson, head of the teaching, learning and sociocultural studies department in the College of Education and co-director of the STEM center.

Collaboration with the community is also important, Johnson said. Oftentimes,

people within the UA create a STEM program and then search for participants.

A center may allow people to approach the university with their needs, he said.

“If someone wants to access it, it would be nice to come to a place where someone can help them find that,” Johnson said.

“That will help us be better able to support the community.”

The center does not have a cost associated with it at this point and could attract more grants, McCallum said. The National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education and private foundations are all interested in funding STEM initiatives, he said.

“Having a highly visible STEM center could help with that,” McCallum said.

“This is partly about making it all visible to the outside world.”

The center could open as early as July 2012, according to Cheu.

“If we can get this right, I think it will really put the UA on the map for STEM education in Southern Arizona,” he said.

Yes, transition years happen. Key injuries have to be taken into account.

Playing three top-10 teams and four perennial contenders in a row to open the season can’t be understated.

But losing the way the Wildcats have for almost a calendar year is hard to swallow, especially when athletic director Greg Byrne has emptied the pockets of boosters in an attempt to make Arizona football a legitimate program.

More than $7 million was spent on the Arizona Stadium video board. While that’s a huge win from a recruiting

standpoint, it sure looks like a waste of money right now.

A 1-5 team having one of the biggest video boards on the West Coast? It just doesn’t add up.

The estimated $85.7 million North End Zone project is next to follow, but does that make sense for a Pac-12 bottom feeder?

While it appeared Stoops was poised to lead Arizona to yet another bowl game and take the program to an even higher level, the Wildcats are stuck in reverse and the clock is ticking.

If Stoops can rally the troops and help the Wildcats run the table on their way to a fourth straight bowl game, his job should be safe.

But that’s wishful thinking to say the least, especially watching the Wildcats swing and miss at the opportunity to bounce back against a Beavers team that couldn’t beat FCS opponent Sacramento State.

The sand in the hourglass is running out. Arizona football is at a crossroads, and if Stoops can’t turn things around, Boise State’s Chris Petersen or former Texas Tech coach Mike Leach could be receiving a phone call very soon.

Oregon provides ammo to gun lobby Kristina Bui Daily Wildcat

G

un enthusiasts, rejoice: Oregon has overturned a firearms ban and undermined the safety of its universities.

At the end of last month, the Oregon Court of Appeals lifted a longstanding firearms ban on university campuses when the three-judge panel decided only the state Legislature has the authority to regulate guns.

The Oregon Firearms Educational Foundation filed the lawsuit in response to the 2009 arrest of a Western Oregon University student for carrying a gun on campus. He had a concealed carry license, and the charge against him was later dropped.

The court’s ruling decided that the on-campus ban was invalid because the Oregon University System does not have the authority to control firearms.

It wasn’t a complete victory for the OFEF. The court declined to rule on the contention that the campus ban violates Second Amendment rights because its decision invalidated the ban anyway.

Judges also denied the OFEF’s claim that the Oregon University System could not impose rules governing campus visitors’ conduct.

Still, the judges’ ruling is progress for gun supporters, and the Second Amendment issue is bound to come up again if the university system decides to appeal.

For now, Oregon campuses are examining ways to get around the ruling. While the university system can’t issue a blanket ban on concealed firearms, there may be loopholes like including clauses in contracts for residence halls that would not permit weapons in dorm rooms, or requiring football ticket-buyers to agree not to bring a weapon inside the football stadium.

Di Saunders, Oregon University System spokeswoman, told Inside Higher Ed that colleges are consulting legal counsel.

Saunders also said the university system’s seven campuses are unanimous in opposition, with good reason: College kids are stupid.

A study, performed in 2007 by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University, found that nearly half of full-time college students abuse drugs or binge drink at least once a month. A study performed five years earlier by the Harvard School of Public Health found student gun owners are more likely to binge drink, drive drunk and use illegal drugs than students who do not own guns.

It doesn’t take a third study to establish that firearms and drugs or alcohol is a terrifying combination.

In a survey published in December 2009 in the Journal of American College Health, just 5 percent of college campus police chiefs said allowing students to carry concealed weapons would prevent campus killings. Another 86 percent disagreed, while 9 percent were uncertain.

Of course, there are people who imagine they know better than real law enforcement.

Gun rights supporters will insist the 86 percent of police chiefs are wrong. The gun lobby argues that shooters will choose gun-free campuses because they make easy targets.

But this argument fails to consider how rare campus violence is.

Yet another study, this one performed by the Department of Justice and published in 2005, found that 93 percent of violent crimes against college students occur off campus. On-campus shootings make huge headlines because they don’t actually happen all that often. The rarity of on-campus violence is probably, at least in part, due to campus policies that regulate firearms.

Besides that, the relatively few campus shootings that occur are usually intended as murder-suicides, in which the goal is to take other people down before dying by gunfire.

Campus shooters aren’t likely to be deterred by knowing the other people around them may also be armed if their goal is to get shot anyway.

The safety of the college campus is in question; it’s the students, faculties and administrations of those campuses that should decide what’s best for them. The Oregon ruling lets gun enthusiasts play vigilante by putting college students at risk, and it sets a dangerous precedent for universities elsewhere.

During his return to the U.S., Al-Awlaki began recruiting for terrorist organizations back in the Middle East. The CIA has numerous reports citing his involvement in recruiting American-born citizens to join the terrorist organization al-Qaeda overseas.

Al-Awlaki has been linked to nearly a dozen different cases of attempted terror plots in the U.S. He is responsible for engaging and recruiting Nigerianborn Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab prior to his attempted underwear bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight on Dec. 25, 2009. He was connected with Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized U.S. citizen, who attempted to set a car bomb off in New York City’s Times Square. He has been connected with Zachary Adam Chesser, a 20-year-old who was recently arrested for trying to join the Islamic terrorist group Al-Shabaab. Al-Awlaki has also been linked to Maj. Nidal Hassan prior to the Fort Hood Army Base killings in Texas in 2009. Last year he attempted to set cargo plane bombs off in the United Kingdom during another failed terrorist attack.

Al-Awlaki was a main component to the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York City.

While in the U.S., he gave the terrorists lectures and even helped them rent apartments and fund their project. This man was a known terrorist who subsequently forewent all rights as a citizen of any country. It should come as no surprise that when the U.S. had the chance to kill him, they did via drone air attacks in Yemen.

Unfortunately, there are many critics who argue that because Al-Awlaki was born in the U.S., he should have been brought back for trial as part of his constitutional right to trial. This idea might be one of the most irrational ideas proposed in recent times.

Al-Awlaki rose in the ranks of al-Qaeda, becoming a regional commander. Why would the U.S. want to bring one of the world’s most dangerous criminals onto their own soil when he repeatedly attempted to kill citizens?

GOP presidential nominee Ron Paul is among those who think that Al-Awlaki deserved a fair trial. Paul told MSNBC that “Al-Awlaki was born here, he is an American citizen. He was never tried or charged for any crimes. No one knows if he killed anybody. We know he might have been associated with the underwear bomber.

But if the American people accept this blindly and casually that we now have an accepted practice of the president assassinating people who he thinks are bad guys, I think it’s sad.”

Those who believe Al-Awlaki deserved a fair trial are sorely mistaken. Terrorists forego their right to a fair trial when they choose to wage war, especially on their own countrymen. Taking Al-Awlaki out was one of the smartest moves the U.S. could have made, and as a result, our world is a bit safer today than it was a couple weeks ago.

Police Beat

By Rebecca Rillos DAILY WILDCAT

Office break-in, laptops snatched A University of Arizona Police Department officer went to the Marley building on Tuesday in response to a report of a theft from one of the offices. The officer met with an employee, who said the office she shares with four other people had been broken into over the weekend. She said she left her office and locked the door around 4 p.m. on Sept. 28.

When she and her coworkers returned to the office Tuesday morning, they noticed some items missing. Among the missing items were two laptops that contained “expensive graphic software” and a cordless Panasonic telephone. The value of the laptops and phone is unknown, but the employee estimated the software was worth $1,000 on each computer. The employee was confident that other staff had not borrowed the items. A student who worked for the employee told her he had seen a telephone like the one missing on a bench near the building on Sept. 30. The officer contacted the video surveillance company Amer-X, who said they would review the footage and contact UAPD with the results later. A victim’s rights form was mailed to the UA.

Lock, shock and one empty parking spot A UAPD officer went to a UA parking lot on Fremont Avenue on Tuesday around 7:40 p.m. in response to a theft. The office met with a student who said she had parked and locked her car in the lot at 7 p.m. on Oct. 2. When she returned Tuesday evening, her car was gone. She walked all around the lots in the area to be sure, but could not find her car. The woman said she had a permit from Parking and Transportation Services and always parked her car in that lot. No one else had keys to the car except herself and her parents, who live in Gilbert, Ariz., she said. The woman filled out a victim’s rights form and a stolen vehicle agreement.

The robbery pain falls mainly in Old Main A UAPD officer spoke on Tuesday to a UA employee who said items had been taken from his office in Old Main. The man said a black laptop bag containing a computer mouse and jump drive had been stolen. He said he believed the theft took place between Sept. 21 and Sept. 30. The man estimated the total cost of the items to be around $80 to $100. He said a coworker of his also had items stolen from him the same day, but the man had already filed a separate case report. Victim’s rights forms were mailed to the man’s office.

Science education senior Devon Moule “danceblades,” a mix of dance and inline skating, on the UA Mall.

Former figure skater now a ‘danceblader’

By Joe Dusbabek DAILY WILDCAT

Devon Moule, a science education senior, has carved himself a unique niche on the UA campus: “danceblading,” an amalgamation of dance, balance and athleticism, where he inline skates while dancing to pop and hip-hop music.

Daily Wildcat: Tell me about danceblading. Did you come up with it?

Moule: In other sects, it’s called “choreographed skating,” but when I came here, I thought that was kind of boring-sounding, so I started calling it “danceblading.” I didn’t come up with the idea, but I put a twist on it. I was originally a figure skater — I come from Kentucky and we actually have ice there — but when I got here, I took up rollerblading because there wasn’t much in the way of skating in Tucson. I had to change my medium, and when I heard about choreographed skating, I thought it would be pretty cool to take and do something with it.

What do you do on the UA campus?

I strap on my skates and I usually

go around the Mall — I end up going up and down all the places where bikes generally aren’t allowed, too, because I don’t like being run over. I tend to go in front of Bear Down Gymnasium and Old Main, and I dance to pop and hip-hop songs while I’m on blades. I’ve also had people ask me to perform at various venues; I was a part of a competition last year where I had to perform Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” on rollerblades.

It seems like danceblading would be kind of hard.

It’s pretty much what you’d expect when you see figure skating, except it’s more hip-hop and not “Oh, I’m doing ballet on skates.”

Is there a community behind this here, or is it just you?

So far, it’s just me. We do have a Rollerblading Club but they’re kind of more into speed skating and jumping up off of things. I’m the only danceblader we have on campus, to my knowledge.

There are always these campus characters you hear about, such as Fake Business Man, Brother Jed and the guy

who used to do the robot in the SUMC. Recently, you’ve started being mentioned along with them in conversations I’ve overheard. Thoughts?

Any time you can be lumped in with Fake Business Man, that is awesome. I prefer to stay away from clumping with the general homeless community, because I’m a student and I actually do have a place to live, but being coupled with awesome figures like that — that’s just epic.

Do you see yourself continuing this at a future job or does it stop when you graduate?

I feel like it’s one of those cool things that kids can say about it, “Oh, that teacher is weird because he dances on rollerblades and I like that.” I want to be that weird teacher. It’s just one of those fun things that I hope to keep doing.

Adam Hall makes noise in debut

By Mike Schmitz DAILY WILDCAT

Although it wasn’t enough to snap Arizona’s losing streak, junior safety Adam Hall made his 2011 debut on Saturday and didn’t disappoint.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound free safety registered a team-high 10 tackles to go along with two tackles for a loss and forced a fumble in Arizona’s 37-27 loss to Oregon State in Corvallis, Ore. “He gives it everything he has,” head coach Mike Stoops said on 1290-AM postgame radio show.

“I’m very proud of him. He pushed

himself through it. That first time on the field coming off a major knee injury is always traumatic, and I’m really proud Adam Hall of the way he junior safety handled it and moved around.”

Hall tore his ACL during the spring season and underwent surgery soon thereafter. Stoops was unsure how much Hall would be able to contribute against the Beavers, but Hall quickly answered

that question on Saturday.

He showed no signs of rust as the Palo Verde High School product looked like the same physical specimen who started seven games at safety in 2010, racking up 54 tackles, 3.5 tackles for a loss, three pass break ups and two interceptions.

“Adam filled his role really nicely and was aggressive. It was good to have Adam back,” said sophomore cornerback Shaquille Richardson, who finished the game with two interceptions and a touchdown. “We like him and Marquis (Flowers), so if they can

figure out a rotation then it would be great.”

Hall’s return didn’t come without controversy, however. After tackling running back Jovan Stevenson late in the third quarter, Hall exchanged words with receiver James Rodgers, the same player who Hall tackled in the end zone last season, bending the wide receiver backward and tearing Rodgers’ ACL. Oregon State tight end Joe Halahuni didn’t appreciate what Hall had to say to Rodgers on Saturday, and pushed Hall’s helmet. Hall lost it and made con-

tact with a referee while pleading his case, leading to a 15-yard penalty. The bad blood between Hall and Rodgers was evident, and Halahuni wasn’t having any of it.

“I just didn’t appreciate how he was talking to my teammates,” Halahuni told the Oregon State media. “A couple times he was in somebody’s face, I was kind of sick of it.”

Hall and Rodgers won’t face off ever again at the collegiate level, but the junior safety will continue to get back to 100 percent for a Wildcats defense that’s giving up a confer-

ANALYSIS

A look at the Wildcats’ woes

By Alex Williams DAILY WILDCAT

We’re six games into the 2011 season, and Arizona still doesn’t have a win against a Football Bowl Subdivision opponent. The Wildcats found themselves in a huge hole for the fifth straight week in a 37-27 loss to Oregon State on Saturday in Corvallis, Ore., and for the second time in as many weeks, their comeback effort fell just short.

But Saturday’s loss was different from the rest. After the NAU game, Arizona’s next four games were as brutal a stretch as anybody in America plays this season.

Against the Beavers, Arizona had a very realistic shot at its first win against an FBS team since late October 2010. Here’s a look at what has led to the Wildcats’ dismal 1-5 start:

By Kyle Johnson DAILY WILDCAT

Special teams

Except for kickoffs and most punts, Arizona’s special teams are one of the least reliable units in the country. They convert extra points 76 percent of the time while their opponents make 96 percent. They make 40 percent of field goals while their opponents are connecting on 87 percent.

When a team doesn’t have any sort of reliability from the kicker position, it puts a ton of pressure on the offense.

Nick Foles and Co. know that unless they score a touchdown, there’s a very good chance they’re not putting points on the board.

Arizona also isn’t getting any big plays from its special teams — at least not any that go the Wildcats’ way.

Jack Baucus’ muffed kickoff against Oregon State led to a Beaver field goal, one that could have ultimately decided the game.

Oregon State also blocked a punt and returned it for a score. Erase those two mistakes, and you erase 10 OSU points, and maybe we’re talking about Arizona’s first Pac-12 Conference win.

TAYLOR HAND/ THE DAILY BAROMETER

Arizona’s David Douglas, left, attempts to catch a pass from quarterback Nick Foles. The ball was intercepted by Oregon State safety Lance Mitchell in the Wildcats’ 37-27 loss to the Beavers in Corallis, Ore., on Saturday.

No discipline

It seems like every time Arizona gets something going, some kind of penalty or mental mistake comes up to bite them.

Safety Adam Hall picked up a 15-yard personal foul for bumping into an official, but fortunately for Arizona, that drive ended with a missed OSU field goal.

The Wildcat O-line is good for a few false starts a game, usually coming on first down. Even with an offense as good as Arizona’s, 1st-and-15 isn’t easy to overcome, especially on the road.

Dropped passes are also starting to become a problem. Receiver

Dan Buckner dropped a sure touchdown on fourth down late in Saturday’s game that would have given the Wildcats a shot at winning. Missed opportunities burned the Wildcats against Oregon two weeks prior as well.

Arizona’s defense also loves to go for the big hit. But while it might work once or twice a game, it’s been leading to a huge number of missed tackles, which ultimately leads to big plays.

sive line. Other than Hall missing the first five games, the rest of the defense was the same set of characters.

To summarize how this year’s D-line has played, it can’t stuff the run and it can’t rush the quarterback. The line has accounted for only two sacks on the season and the D-line has only 8.5 tackles for loss.

Any average defense has at least some ability to do those two things.

Any average defense can at least do one. But Arizona’s defense? It can’t do either.

No D-line It doesn’t matter how good a Look at last year’s defense, one that was at least respectable, and look at defense’s linebackers are if the offense this year’s. What changed? The defen- is getting blockers on them without being slowed down by the D-line.

UA earns first win

By Zack Rosenblatt DAILY WILDCAT

It had been 350 days, spread over 16 games, since the last win.

On Friday night, the Arizona women’s soccer team temporarily put an end to its losing ways with a 1-0 victory over Oregon. On Sunday, it wasn’t able to replicate its success with a 1-0 loss to Oregon State.

Despite the loss, getting the first win of the season made this weekend a successful one.

“We definitely took steps forward this weekend. Obviously getting the win was a must,” said senior goalkeeper Ashley Jett.

In Sunday’s game versus Oregon State, the team was unable to score any goals despite many opportunities. It was clear throughout the day that the Wildcats were capable of pulling out a victory, but they weren’t able to capitalize on their chances.

Hockey takes lumps, collects first victory

“Inconsistent was a theme for today,” Jett said. “We came out hard, had chances early in the game.

Second half we didn’t come out like we should have.”

Despite its struggles on Sunday, the team’s focus was on the positive progress it made this weekend, and much of that can be attributed to the relentless performance of Jett, especially on Friday night.

“Amazing. She’s always amazing. When we need her the most she’s always there,” said sophomore Jazmin Ponce.

Junior defender Alex Smith, who scored the team’s only goal on Friday on a penalty kick, also believes some accolades should be going the goalkeeper’s way. “(Her performance) was unreal.

SOCCER, 12

As Arizona fans rose to their feet for match point in the final set against No. 2 UCLA, Arizona served the ball, the Bruins sent it back over and, with a perfect pass to Chloe Mathis, Rachel Rhoades sprung into the air to meet Mathis’ set and murdered the ball down the center.

The Wildcats (11-6, 3-5) stunned the Bruins in a 3-2 game (25-21, 25-10, 25-19, 25-18 and 15-12) match Saturday night.

McKale Center erupted in screams. Head coach Dave Rubio triumphantly punched the air and the girls joyously tackled each other.

The odds weren’t in Arizona’s favor for Saturday’s match, especially after falling to No. 5 USC 3-0 (27-25, 25-21, 25-19) on Friday.

Arizona hadn’t defeated a top-2 team since 1993. Coincidentally, that match was also against UCLA. The team has continuously been written off as young with a lot of potential. That potential came to fruition on Saturday and Rubio saw his team grow up.

“It’s certainly a gutsy win for us,” Rubio said. “We could have rolled over a lot of times and we really toughed it out. That’s what I was telling the team in the games we were losing: ‘We’ve got to grow up here guys.’

“If we’re going to beat a great team and be a great team, then you have to be able to weather the storms and execute as a result of that.”

AMY WEBB/ DAILY WILDCAT

Arizona’s Cursty Jackson spikes a ball in UA’s loss to USC on Friday in Tucson.

Arizona set the pace for the match and took the Bruins by surprise in the first game, winning 25-21. In the next set, the Bruins rebounded with a short and sweet 25-10 win.

“The Bruins were a little flat,” Rubio said. “I told them upsets happen because the team that’s supposed to win doesn’t come ready to play. In Game 1 they did that, and we took advantage of that. In game two, they said, ‘Not so fast. We’re No. 2 in the country, we’re the best team in the conference, we’re going to stomp on you and show you who’s in charge,’ and they did.”

The No. 22 Arizona hockey team earned its first win this season, beating No. 21 Michigan-Dearborn 6-1 Friday in the opening game at the ACHA Division I Showcase in Springfield, Ill. Yet, the winning streak didn’t last long, as the Wildcats dropped their next two games, losing 5-1 to No. 11 Oakland University Saturday and 5-3 to No. 17 Stony Brook Sunday.

“It was very liberating,” captain Brian Slugocki said about the team getting its first win Friday. “It was good to see that the team did come together and pull a win against a top-ranked team, and we did it in big fashion, winning six to one.

“We got a lot more work that we need to do.”

Forward Andrew Murmes carried the scoring load for the Wildcats (1-3-1) in the victory, netting five points through four assists and a goal. The rest of Murmes’ line also performed well, as forward Blake Richards scored two and assistant captain Brady Lefferts had one goal and two assists on the night.

Slugocki and forward Michael Ferreira also put the puck in the net, rounding out the scoring for the UA. The team led the entire way, scoring just 53 seconds into the game with a goal by Murmes. Goalkeeper David Herman’s shutout bid was ended after the Wolves scored a late goal with a little over two minutes left and the game well out of hand.

“We came out playing,” head coach Sean Hogan said. “I think honestly we’re just a better team than they (Michigan-Dearborn) are right now. ” The game on Saturday was not quite as easy for the Wildcats as they faced Hogan’s old school, No. 11 Oakland University. However, the UA hung with Grizzlies and tied the game at the 10:27 mark in the second period with a short-handed goal by Murmes. After that, things went downhill for the Wildcats.

“We had a few mistakes that those good teams capitalize on, and it blew the game open,” Hogan said.

Oakland took the lead with 6:45 left in the second period and then put the game out of reach early in the third, scoring three goals before the 10-minute mark, making it 5-1.

In the final game of the showcase, the UA played Stony Brook in what was a back-and-forth affair. The teams traded off goals until Edwin Montgomery put the Sea Wolves up 4-2 in the middle of the third period.

Lefferts got the Wildcats within one on power play goal with 4:12 left on the clock, but they were never able to score an equalizer. The Sea Wolves then ended the game with a late empty net goal.

“We were right on top of their goalie,” Hogan said, “we just couldn’t find the back of the net.”

That loss gives the Wildcats a 1-3-1 record on the season, yet all five games have been against topranked opponents.

Slugocki, the teams’ leading scorer last season, came into the showcase with a rib injury that forced him to miss most of the first two games against No. 7 ASU, but he said that the injury didn’t affect him much. Overall, the weekend was successful for the team even if the scores don’t indicate it, Hogan said.

“We knew it would be tough having immediate success,” Hogan said. “But I think playing this level of competition, playing the ranked opponents, and competing like we did, I think it’s going to bring more national recognition to our program and I think it’s going to bode well for our upcoming weeks.”

There are probably more interesting places to have put it, but I think it’s pretty funny that we took someSam Guber thing else from England and then UA alumnus put it in some out of the way city where nobody would ever find it.

Q

Why don’t you talk about abstinence?

A. But we do! Check out our SexTalk archives online at health.arizona.edu and see for yourself. This column strives to provide accurate, balanced advice on sexual health and relationships. Our hope is to make SexTalk a reliable place that offers answers, options and resources to help students make informed decisions. The questions we answer have everything to do with SexTalk’s Q&A format, however. In other words, if a student asks “what’s the best condom type to get,� as appeared in our 8/22/11 edition, mentioning abstinence isn’t always relevant, given the question.

We all know that abstinence is the only 100% effective option that prevents against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and unintended pregnancy. But here’s something you might not have considered – it’s also probably the one prevention method all of us use or have used.

And while it’s often perceived in absolute terms, abstinence is always a good option to avoid STDs and unplanned pregnancy, no matter what your sexual history is.

Waiting on sex can have other benefits as well. Consider that abstinence is free, has no medical or hormonal side effects, and can be practiced at any time. Some may

abstain because they don’t feel ready for sex yet, or haven’t found the right partner.

Others may wait to focus on academics, work or extracurricular activities, while others may skip sex to get over a recent breakup. In addition to these reasons, many people abstain as an extension of their personal, moral, or religious beliefs.

According to the 2011 Health & Wellness Survey (N=2,479) more students are abstaining than you might think. In addition to students who have had sex in the past but are not currently sexually active, the survey revealed that 30% had never had vaginal intercourse, 81% had never had anal intercourse and 27% had never had oral sex. The take away message from these numbers is clear: students who choose to abstain are certainly not alone at the UA. Whatever your thoughts on sex and relationships, we’re here to help you make healthy choices in line with your values. And the great thing about SexTalk is, you don’t need to be having sex to be in the know!

Juron Criner leaves game with sprained knee

The setbacks continue for Arizona’s star receiver Juron Criner. The senior wideout, who has undergone appendicitis surgery this season, sprained his knee after fighting for extra yards in the first quarter. Criner did not return and finished

Junior Texas transfer Dan Buckner, who finished with eight catches for 144 yards and a touchdown, has replaced Criner as Arizona’s most deadly threat this season.

Now, Arizona must use any momentum from the weekend to its advantage. “(The team needs to) do a lot of what we did in the first half (on Friday) and just keep this week for that. It was awesome,” Smith said.

Swimming dominates Kansas, cruises to victory in opener Arizona women’s swimming started the 2011-12 season off with a bang Saturday at Hillenbrand Stadium against the Kansas Jayhawks, winning 13 out of 14 events. The meet could not have gone much better, said head coach Eric Hansen.

“The whole group really swam well. We executed well, and showed up strong,” he said.

Sophomore Margo Geer and senior Alyssa Anderson won seven events combined. Geer won individually in the 50-meter freestyle, 100m freestyle and 200m freestyle along with the 200m freestyle relay. Anderson won the 1000m freestyle, 200m butterfly and 500m freestyle.

Of the four races Geer won, the most impressive was the 100m freestyle in which she recorded a time of 24.08 seconds, the top time nationally.

Despite that, she and the rest of the team are focused on a larger goal.

“I need to keep it up,” Geer said. “I’m not going to let that go to my head. It’s still very early.”

In practices this week, the coaching staff stressed the importance of the relay teams and how they were going to impact the season. They were not disappointed Saturday, as the relay teams won both the 200m medley relay and the 200m freestyle relay, something Hansen was especially proud of.

“It shows what we’re capable of, and that we have the personnel,” he said. “It’s exciting to see.”

The swim team started the season strong, but Hansen is worried about the long term.

“Nothing matters until the last meet of March,” he said. “The goal is to decrease our mistakes as we get further into the season. I’m impressed with the team and how everybody’s settled into their role.”
