Astronomer receives national award for work in education

By Stewart McClintic DAILY WILDCAT

UA astronomer Don McCarthy has spent nearly all his career at the UA, and is now being rewarded for it.

McCarthy has been at the UA since the 1970s, when he was a graduate student pursuing his doctorate in astronomy. Afterward, he became a post-doctorate fellow at the university, then an assistant astronomer and eventually a fulltime astronomer. After 42 years of service at the UA, the American Astronomical Society is awarding McCarthy the annual Education Prize. McCarthy will also receive a $1,500 stipend for education from the society for the work he has done over the years in educating people in the field of astronomy.

In addition to working in the Steward Observatory, McCarthy helps run the astronomy camp each summer, which is now in its 25th year, as well as working with the Girl Scouts of the USA in education

UAMC hosts program to guide expectant mothers

By Stephanie Casanova DAILY WILDCAT

The University of Arizona Medical Center hopes to educate expecting mothers about prenatal care through a program launched on Thursday.

Funded by an $18,880 grant from March of Dimes Arizona Chapter, the goal of the Healthy Pregnancy Project is to educate women at earlier stages in their pregnancy about maintaining a healthy diet, proper hydration, risky behaviors, avoiding harmful substances, the importance of prenatal care and how to recognize signs of problems and seek medical attention. The program had its first class on Thursday.

“Our overall goal is to try to determine if we could have an impact on reducing preterm birth rate by providing this education,” said Laurie Stephen, family education coordinator at

A UA student, over the course of his undergraduate career, has helped discover the cause of landslides on the surface of Mars.

Kaylan Burleigh, a senior studying physics and astronomy, began Mars research using data from the HiRISE telescope aboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, a spacecraft that reached Mars in March 2006.

“The idea was that we’d seen these really small impact craters that you couldn’t see with previous telescopes,” Burleigh said.

The research began because scientists had observed what looked like landslides occurring on Mars and wanted to know if meteoric impacts had any effect on these changes to Mars’ physical surface.

If the impacts of roaming craters were causing these landslides, the research team that Burleigh was a part of wanted to know how exactly the so-called landslides were forming.

By counting the landslides he found around a specific crater, Burleigh said, and through mapping the distributions of those counts, it was obvious that the crater caused the landslides. After analyzing the data, Burleigh presented his work for peer reviews. This is where his ordinary research took a groundbreaking direction, he said.

Instead of landslides, the term “avalanche” was more accurate, Burleigh said. From an impact just on the ground, he added, you wouldn’t be able to form the avalanches that were occurring.

The development of these avalanches needed another reason, Burleigh said.

To solve the mystery of what exactly was causing these episodes, researchers compared models of events that occur on Earth to what was happening on Mars.

Researchers model a fast compact object, Burleigh said, and because of the shockwaves it creates, they can get these very prominent waves that hit the ground and cause the dust to get disturbed enough that it can cause avalanches. He concluded that the effects caused by the approach of an incoming meteor on the surface of

Eller students develop energy-saving project

By Stephanie Zawada Daily Wildcat

The Eller College of Management proves that research projects aren’t restricted to the lab, giving honors pre-business students their chance to pitch new sustainability ideas to the UA and Tucson community.

“Eller allows us to be in the spotlight,” said Elizabeth Towne, a pre-business freshman. “I think it’s pretty cool that they would give us such an opportunity at a young age,” she said.

Towne and her fellow team members, Tiana Soto, Alexandra Richardson, and Kevin Spangenberg, designed a research project to cut down on energy waste, a topic they learned about in the mandatory pre-business course Management Information Systems 111, by starting with students’ dorm rooms at the UA. Árbol de la Vida Residence Hall, Towne said, uses “smart thermostats” to solve this problem.

“We wanted to implement them in every dorm in order to save energy,” Towne said. These thermostats detect when no one is in the room, Towne said, and they turn the heating system down until people return. The thermostats also turn lights off when rooms are empty.

“The honors showcase really challenges the pre-business freshmen

hoping to apply to Eller to think outside the box,” said Thomas Peres, an honors preceptor for Management Information Systems 111. “It’s really fascinating to see how each group solves a real world problem.

It was great to see how people use Management Information Systems to simplify and improve aspects of their everyday life.”

William Neumann, a senior lecturer in the Eller College of Management and course instructor for Management Information Systems 111, said honors students have a distinct experience and are assigned more significant projects.

“I want them to feel challenged but also make them think in terms of problem-solving,” Neumann said. His goal for this showcase was to engage students in projects that did both.

As freshmen, Neumann said, these honors students bring 180 new eyes to look at ways to improve the UA. Through the honors showcase, “They take ownership of a piece of the university.

Suddenly, this is their campus,” he added.

Neumann featured peer review as an integral part of this showcase, allowing students to vote for their favorite projects by placing poker chips in plastic bowls assigned to each group. “I had no poker chips,” he added. “They couldn’t convince me.”

The showcase focused on three

to reach all expecting mothers regardless of socioeconomic status, it also wants to “tap into” underserved, uninsured and refugee populations, Stephen said.

“This is a hospital that sees a great many babies who are born prematurely. Sometimes prematurity can be prevented by excellent prenatal care,” said Katie Riley, a spokeswoman for the center.

The project will hold classes every week throughout 2012 in both English and Spanish. There is no limit to the amount of attendees, and the program encourages fathers to come in and learn as well.

“We’ve got plenty of space and we’re going to have really great educational materials for them to take with them,” Stephen said. “We will

themes — sustainability, security and synergy — allowing students to develop ideas while finding their own entrepreneurial voice.

They had to learn how to market something, Neumann said, and to get organized as a team. He allowed them to develop their own 1 to 2-minute commercials to grab the attention of those possibly interested in what they had designed.

According to Katherine Carl, a doctoral candidate in Management Information Systems and a graduate teaching assistant for Management Information Systems 111, the program is a wonderful opportunity for students, allowing them to collaborate on something that might actually be implemented at the UA. “Looking through their projects, these were things that were directly related to the university,” she said.

Carl also said the honors project was a nice way for students to get that small, work-intensive kind of experience that students at large universities are usually not afforded. This is a way for them to get some individual attention from the university, she added.

“It seems like it must be really hard when you’re only taking general education courses,” Carl said, “to think about your post-UA career and whether or not you can risk being creative and still be financially successful.”

Mars had roughly the same impact on Mars’ dusty surface that a sonic boom on Earth has with regards to air particles — it’s a shockwave.

The strength of the vibrations that the incoming crater causes in the atmosphere results in a ripple effect on Mars’ surface even before the crater touches the ground.

The material on Mars would just be sitting there, Burleigh said, without these impacts. “It’s a preimpact process,” he explained.

But it is unlikely that the shockwaves like the ones Burleigh has

outreach projects.

Although McCarthy has taught classes previously, he is not technically a professor. Instead, he said his main focus at the UA’s observatory is research in astronomy.

McCarthy said he likes teaching basic skills to students who don’t know them. He said most students don’t know basic math skills, such as fifth to seventh grade arithmetic, and that students nowadays do not see the value of learning such basic concepts.

“Like a good vocabulary, one word can say everything, and so can one number,” McCarthy said.

These basic skills place students “a cut above the job search,” he

studied have ever drastically changed Mars’ surface. They probably have very little effect on the shape or global properties of Mars, Burleigh said. The impacts were previously undetectable without the HiRISE instrument, he added.

Of the 201 detected impacts he observed, Burleigh said there was a relatively small number of the cases that actually caused the avalanches. Only 16 of the studied impacts that whipped shockwaves into the air were strong enough to cause avalanches on Mars’ surface.

“They’re probably not going to affect anything too vastly important on Mars,” Burleigh said. At the same time, he added, it does

tell you that this other mechanism including the “air shock” is important.

For now, these pre-impact shockwaves only give researchers a glimpse into how meteors affect the surface of a planet under Mars’ conditions. The craters and meteors forming the avalanches are relatively small, Burleigh said, being only a few meters in diameter. Even with really big meteors, he said, this effect would probably be unnoticeable. With large meteors, Burleigh said that the energy they would send to a respective surface area of Mars would cause a much more striking effect than just a shockwave through the air.

added.

Marcia Rieke, a professor of astronomy since the mid-’70s at the UA, has known McCarthy ever since she has been here, and said McCarthy has had a reputation of being an “Iron Man” because of his hard work and dedication. She added that this also comes from his former passion for doing long-distance running and marathons.

Rieke said she works with McCarthy on his education and public outreach with the Girl Scouts.

“There’s not much else to say except he’s a good guy,” Rieke said.

Although the March of Dimes can only fund the Healthy Pregnancy Project this year, UAMC hopes to sustain the program on its own afterward.

“This program in itself is a perfect example of a large, well-organized hospital expanding their outreach to their vulnerable population,” Mulcahy said. “They anticipate to reach over 1,400 women in a year, which is phenomenal.”

If someone is dressed unprofessionally, this can reflect on how seriously they want the job, according to Career Services representatives.

In order to teach students, Career Services provides handouts, links on their website, as well as mannequins in the office that are professionally dressed. A poster of a student dressed unprofessionally, with arrows pointing out what is wrong with her clothing choices, hangs in the lobby.

“It’s the first impression you’re making with the employer that you’re asking to give you a job,” said Kem Blanchard, a Career Services counselor. “We want our students to be successful. We want them to represent the U of A well, and themselves well.”

against wearing high heels or short skirts, and workshop leaders also mentioned the importance of shaving for men.

“Students who are well-puttogether stand out and students that have put no effort into it also stand out,” said Christine Morrison, unit sales manager at Altria Disribution. “Unfortunately, what you seem to remember the longest are the students who were not prepared, were not dressed professionally and didn’t seem to take it seriously.”

Many students need education on what is expected in the business and professional world, Blanchard said. Working with Career Services and attending workshops can give students a realistic look into what employers like to see, she said.

Students who attended the Go Pro workshops also emphasized the importance of appearance when going to a job interview.

“I think first impressions are everything, and they’re lasting,” said Taylor Haynes, a physiology junior. “Dressing appropriately for an interview shows you care about the job or internship that you want to get, and it shows the employer that you care about yourself and the way you present yourself.”

Westboro Church plans to picket memorial service for Washington brothers Mcclatchy tribune

TACOMA, Wash. — A notoriously anti-gay church plans to picket Saturday’s funeral for Charlie and Braden Powell and will be counterprotested by Occupy Seattle.

Margie Phelps, daughter of the Topeka, Kan.-based Westboro Baptist Church’s founder, tweeted Wednesday night that the church will attend the boys’ memorial service. The protest is to “remind” Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire “they died because of her rebellion,” a reference to her support of same-sex marriages.

Gregoire is expected to sign into law legislation passed by the Legislature allowing same-sex couples to marry in Washington.

The measure — expected to land on her desk early next week — was approved by the state House

Wednesday and by the state Senate last week.

Charlie Powell, 7, and Braden Powell, 5, were killed Sunday after their father, Josh Powell, blew up his Graham, Wash.-area house when they were dropped off for a supervised visit.

A memorial service for the boy is set for 11 a.m. Saturday at Life Center Church in Tacoma.

Phelps’ tweet did not explain how picketing the funeral was a protest against same-sex marriage, but the devastating case has garnered national attention and the boys’ service is expected to be widely attended.

In a later tweet referencing a story about Washington legalizing same-sex marriage, Phelps wrote “This is why God’s cursed you w Josh Powells blowing up kids.”

Word of Westboro’s plans spread quickly online and Occupy Seattle sounded a call for its members to counter protest the church. The group’s Facebook page said the church “has decided to capitalize on these sad events by bringing their unique brand of hate to Washington.”

Occupy Seattle said its members don’t intend to disrupt the funeral, but want to “protect it from Westboro’s abhorrent message.”

Westboro is a small church known for its extreme stance against homosexuality. Its members have gained infamy by protesting funerals of American soldiers and celebrities.

They believe God punishes the United States for its tolerance of sin, which they believe includes accepting homosexuality.

POLICE BEAT Study finds economy is toughest on young adults

By Elliot P. Hopper DAILY WILDCAT

Turning himself in

MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

University of Arizona Police Department officers responded at 11 p.m. on Sunday to a call from a resident assistant in Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall. The RA said the dorm smelled heavily of marijuana. Officers arrived and instantly noticed the smell. The RA said he saw two male students open the door of their room, and smoke poured out. Officers knocked on the students’ door and asked if they could enter the room and speak with them, and the students said yes. Before the officers could close the door behind them and ask the students if they had been smoking marijuana, one of the roommates blurted out, “My roommate was not involved with smoking and I only had a couple of hits.”

Officers asked if the students had additional marijuana, and the roommate who was supposedly not at fault grabbed the bag of marijuana. Officers were then allowed to search the room for additional illegal items. They found two full bottles of vodka, lighters, a purple grinder, papers and an apple bong.

Both students were cited, one for smoking and possessing marijuana and the other for possessing drug paraphernalia.

The illegal drugs and alcohol were both taken into UAPD property and evidence.

Over winter break, a member of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity said his room in the fraternity house was vandalized, although he was just now reporting the incident. The student said he spoke with the fraternity’s president about who was allowed in the house over winter break. The president said no one was in the house, but that one of the fraternity members was given a master key to all doors in the house. The student’s door was not damaged, but it was opened and items had been stolen. The student said he had medications, vitamins, two bottles of vodka and groceries stolen from his room. Police are attempting to contact the president and the member who had the master key to the fraternity house.

UAPD arrived at the UofA Bookstore at 5:15 p.m. on Tuesday after a bookstore employee reported that a man had attempted to shoplift a T-shirt by wearing it out of the store. Bookstore employees said they witnessed him pick out a shirt, head to the corner of the store where he thought no one could see him, and put it on. The bookstore employees then watched him as he attempted to walk out of the store. Employees caught him at the door and detained him.

Officers arrived and immediately viewed the security tapes, then arrested the student, who agreed to questioning. The officers asked why he took the shirt and if he had enough money in his pockets or on his credit cards to pay for it. He said he did not have enough money and that he really wanted the shirt. Officers gathered evidence of the video footage and took pictures of the stolen item. The item was returned to the bookstore.

LOS ANGELES — As the nation climbs slowly out of the Great Recession, young adults appear to be having the toughest time of any age group gaining a foothold in the recovering economy. Those difficulties, in turn, are shaping their decisions about careers, schooling, marriage and parenthood, according to a new report.

The analysis by the Pew Research Center, released Thursday, examines the effects of the recession on the lives and attitudes of young Americans ages 18 to 34.

“The economy may be improving, but in spite of the recent decline in unemployment, young people are still really struggling,” said Kim Parker, associate director of Pew’s Social and Demographic Trends Project and a coauthor of the study.

The tough times are forcing changes in young adults’ daily lives and in their longerterm plans.

Nearly half say that in recent years they’ve taken a job they didn’t really want, to pay the bills. More than a third have gone back to school because of the poor economy. About a third have postponed either their plans to get married or have a child, and one in four say they have moved back in with their parents after living independently. And fewer than half of young people who are now employed say they have the education and training necessary to get ahead in their jobs.

With government economic data showing a record gap in employment levels be-

tween the young and all working-age adults, the Pew survey found that 41 percent of Americans believe that young adults have been hit harder by the recession than other age groups, while 29 percent said middleaged adults have had the toughest time, and 24 percent said those 65 and older have had the worst of it.

Large majorities of those surveyed also said it was harder for today’s young adults to reach basic financial goals that their parents’ generation took for granted, including saving for the future, paying for college or buying a home.

Young people themselves are also acutely aware of their struggles, the study showed.

Half of those 18 to 34 said their age group has suffered the most because of the nation’s weak economy.

Nonetheless, Parker noted that young adults were overwhelmingly upbeat about their futures; nearly 9 in 10 said they either have or earn enough money now, or anticipate that they will later in life.

“We don’t know if that’s grounded in anything, but that response was one of the things we thought was so interesting,” she said. “In spite of all the challenges they’re facing, they’re still really optimistic about their future.”

Pew based the study on data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, along with findings from a telephone poll of 2,049 adults interviewed between Dec. 6 and Dec. 19, 2011.

Ron Barber attends a one-year anniversary memorial service was held on Jan. 8 to remember those who were affected by the Jan. 8, 2011, shootings on the UA Mall.

WASHINGTON — A former aide to Gabrielle Giffords who was wounded in the shooting that nearly took her life announced his candidacy for a special election to replace the Arizona Democrat in Congress.

Ron Barber, who served as Giffords’ district director, said he would work to continue her legacy of putting politics aside to solve problems.

“My commitment is to be honest with the people of this district and help restore civility to our public life,” Barber said in a prepared statement announcing his candidacy. “My first priority won’t be the next election — but the next generation.”

Giffords resigned from Congress Jan. 25, just over a year after a gunman shot her in the head at point-blank range as she met with constituents at a Tucson supermarket. She said she wanted to focus solely on her recovery.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has called for a special primary election to be held on April 17, with the general election to follow on June 12 to fill the 8th District seat.

The Republican field includes Jesse

Kelly, who was Giffords’ opponent in her bid for a third term in 2010.

Barber was struck twice — in his cheek and leg — during the same Jan. 8 shooting spree. He relies on a cane and leg brace to walk, and was also diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder.

Barber told reporters in a conference call that he had not decided whether he would also run in the regular election in November in the newly drawn 2nd District, crafted after the decennial redistricting process.

Giffords submitted her resignation last month during an emotional ceremony on the House floor, one day after she attended the State of the Union address.

One of her final acts was voting on legislation she wrote to give law enforcement greater authority to address the transport of illegal drugs using light aircraft across the U.S.-Mexico border. Giffords, who endorsed Barber on Thursday, will attend a bill-signing ceremony planned in the Oval Office on Friday, according to the White House.

Despite odds, farmers push for guest-worker program MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON — California and Southern farmers renewed their case Thursday for some kind of an agricultural guest-worker program, but they’re sailing against the wind.

Make that a hurricane.

Buffeted by campaign-season currents and the inherent complications around immigration, the farmers this year face excruciatingly long odds as they seek a guest-worker goal that’s eluded them since at least 1995. Still, they lobby on.

“You have to be optimistic, don’t you?” said Modesto, Calif.-area farmer Paul Wenger, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation. “Stranger things have happened.”

Wenger joined H. Lee Wicker, deputy director of the North Carolina Growers Association, and Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black in urging a House panel to overhaul an existing worker visa program and boost farmers’ access to foreign labor. Without the fix, they say, growers’ problems will proliferate.

“Experience shows us there is no realistic prospect of a domestic work force for agriculture,” Wenger told the House subcommittee on immigration policy and enforcement. “We in California have learned the hard way that few Americans seek agricultural jobs.”

Nationwide, farmers are estimated to employ somewhere between 900,000 and 1.2 million illegal immigrants.

Farmers widely denounce the current program, called H-2A, which enables farmers to legally hire foreign workers.

Although North Carolina growers this year will legally employ more than 7,000 foreign workers with H-2A visas, Wicker called the program “costly, unpredictable and administratively flawed.”

In California, the nation’s biggest farm state, farmers only secure about 3,500 workers annually through H-2A. In Florida and Texas combined, the visa program provides a total of only about 8,600 workers annually.

The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, agreed Thursday that the current visa program is “plagued with problems.” That’s about where the consensus stops.

Sixth Annual Jan Monk Distinguished Professor Lecture This lecture draws on 14 years of partnership with activists in India and with academic co-authors in the United States to reflect on how storytelling across social, geographical and institutional borders can enhance critical engagement with questions of violence and struggles for social change, while also troubling dominant discourses and methodologies inside and outside of the academy. Through specific examples, it reflects on the labor process, assumptions, possibilities and risks associated with coauthorship as a tool for mobilizing intellectual spaces in which stories from multiple locations in an alliance can speak with one another and evolve into more nuanced and effective critical interventions.

Healthy options within UA’s reach Luke Davis DAILY WILDCAT

merican obesity is a major problem that could be relieved at college, but it’s only getting worse.

The unhealthy diet and lifestyle of the average American has been well publicized. Obesity rates have shot up. In 2000, no state had an obesity prevalence of 30 percent or more. In 2009, nine states did. In 2010, the number with an obesity prevalence of 30 percent or higher increased to 12 states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

There are 72 million Americans who are overweight or obese.

Studies by the Get America Fit Foundation and the CDC have shown that the majority of overweight Americans are in poverty or low-income situations.

Bad food is simply cheaper to buy.

GAF studies show that some of the poorest counties in the U.S. are also some of the unhealthiest.

Low-income families can’t regularly afford to cook organic meals at home. Cheap meals like McDonald’s dollar menu or Jack in the Box’s 99-cent tacos are the best they can afford.

Students encounter this problem time and time again.

College students hang onto every last penny they have, and eating healthful foods becomes difficult or impossible.

“You are what you eat,” should be flipped so it reads, “You eat what you are.” Meaning if you’re poor, you eat poorly. But students aren’t at fault. The administration hasn’t provided them with healthier eating options that work with their income.

Take a look around campus; there’s a plethora of unhealthy options. On campus, healthy restaurants are limited and expensive. Healthier choices such as Core, a full salad bar, are barely visible and can cost almost $10 for a salad and a drink. Students in the Student Union Memorial Center are most likely to choose Burger King or Panda Express where a meal can cost less than $5. If you try to pass through the student union around noon, it’s almost impossible to get past the enormous Chick-Fil-A line.

Off campus, the options aren’t any healthier. The half-mile stretch on Speedway Boulevard in between Park Avenue and Campbell Avenue hosts a Jack in the Box, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Wendy’s, 7-Eleven, Domino’s Pizza and a Circle K. With the healthiest options being Subway or Boston Market, there’s not one cheap, healthy market or restaurant.

It’s great that the Student Recreation Center is filled to capacity of students working on their spring break bodies, but what they put in their body could be outweighing all the hard work.

The school should provide more healthy markets and affordable restaurants. The university controls the prices and menu options at many of the campus restaurants and officials need to make a bigger push to promote better diets and eating habits.

College is where knowledge, principles and habits are formed.

If students are not given healthier options that fit their strapped budgets, they will only continue to have unhealthy diets, which will worsen America’s second-most preventable cause of death: obesity.

Universities should be proactive with modern day issues, and obesity is one of the most dangerous and prevalent ones.

If the UA can promote change in its students’ lifestyle choices, then it will also help improve Tucson and the U.S. — Luke Davis is a pre-journalism sophomore. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu or on Twitter via @WildcatOpinions.

Rick rollin’: Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum shocked the world, and probably himself, as he swept a trio of state primaries on Tuesday, energizing what had been a languishing campaign. It also injected new funds, as Santorum’s campaign claimed a $250,000 influx the day after the primary sweep, and promises to inject new fun into the race as well. Glitter bombs away!

Speaking of glitter bombs: Washington lawmakers from both parties voted to approve a bill that would legalize same-sex marriage in the state. This, combined with state Gov. Chris Gregoire’s vow to sign the bill, will make Washington the seventh state to approve same-sex marriage.

But opponents of same-sex anything will not go quietly into that good night, pledging to gather enough signatures to force a public vote on the matter. Proponents of same-sex marriage will look to avoid going 0-3 in such instances, after similar measures in California and Maine were successfully overturned. So who can blame opponents for being confident?

The nuclear option: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission recently approved the construction of two new nuclear reactors, the first in more than 30 years. However, critics say that the reactors are not built strong enough to withstand terrorist attacks or natural disasters, such as those that led to the nuclear meltdown in Japan. If that’s your criteria for building anything then the only things that should be built are Chevy trucks. Those are strong enough to survive even the Mayan apocalypse.

Left-behind school districts: On Thursday, President Barack Obama announced that 10 states — Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Tennessee — will no longer have to meet the 2014 progress targets stipulated in the “No Child Left Behind” law. The law, which ties federal educational funding to growth in a series of performance metrics, was the child brain, sorry, brainchild of former President George W. Bush. Yeah … let’s move on.

Babying the cradle of Western civilization: Greek leaders have approved a new series of austerity measures as a condition of receiving yet another bailout to avoid a potentially disastrous default on the county’s debt. Conditions include lowering the minimum wage, cutting public spending and removing one god from its pantheon. Sorry, Hestia, your cushy hearth-tending job is over.

Slowing postal: The U.S. Postal Service posted another massive loss during the last fiscal quarter, a result of continued public preference to use the new-fangled electronic mail or private shipping companies such as UPS or FedEx. While the news is indeed dire, there is a silver lining. The service continues to corner the market when it comes to grandparents’ birthday cards, reminders of upcoming high school reunions and anthrax.

Daily Wildcat staff editorials represent the official opinion of the Daily Wildcat staff, which is determined at staff editorial meetings.

Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinion of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

At the UA, a little more than onethird of STEM freshmen graduate in STEM fields, compared to the more than half of non-STEM freshmen who graduate in the field they originally chose, according to Gail Burd, vice provost for academic affairs, in an interview with the Daily Wildcat last semester.

The lack of proper science education leading up to college leads to a huge shock for STEM students when the expectations are suddenly raised. Students may write science off as boring, but it’s because its complexity makes it hard to format into the current educational structure.

Bill Nye the Science Guy may be right; our school systems may not do a good job of teaching algebra, but the problem is bigger than that. Until our teachers start showing that science is fun, until we care more about understanding than regurgitating, kids are going to continue being repelled by science, as if science and kids were like charges being repelled due to Coulomb’s Law. — Dan Desrochers is a chemistry freshman.

Grammys abandon artistry in favor of commercialism

By Kate Newton Daily Wildcat

T

he 54th Annual Grammy Awards, which could act as a way for fans to see their favorite acts perform live and win big, probably will have as many people checking updates on Twitter as tuning in live because of one simple point. The Recording Academy has turned a deaf ear to what matters most: the music.

Although some viewers complain that the Academy adheres to choices that are maddeningly mainstream or that the show focuses more on marketing artists as commodities rather than talent, past wins like Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs

snagging “Album of the Year” over Lady Gaga’s worldwide hit The Fame Monster last year, contradict that argument.

However, recognizing lesser-known artists loses its integrity when the awards rely on overblown personalities and past drama (Rihanna and Chris Brown are reportedly performing this year, despite a certain restraining order) to gain viewers.

Outside of all of this, fans will still want their favorite artists to snag those golden statuettes Sunday night.

Here’s who I want to see recognized in a few key categories:

Record of the Year

a commercial and critical success, but it’s doubtful the Academy will acknowledge an alternative rock group in this category The nominees: “Rolling in the Deep” (Adele), “Holocene” (Bon Iver), “Grenade” for the second year in a row, and Born This Way just tried a little too hard. So, (Bruno Mars), “Firework” (Katy Perry), despite lingering anger over a particularly “The Cave” (Mumford and Sons) devastating snub (see below), Adele has earned the win by releasing a sophomore Should win: Please, for the love of all album so poignant that anyone with a that’s sonically holy, anyone but Bruno beating heart and the slimmest sense of Mars. The artist to beat here (and in every human compassion can find something to category she’s nominated) is Adele. While “Rolling in the Deep” was nearly tarnished relate to — and Adele’s powerhouse voice doesn’t hurt either. by its incessant radio rotation this fall, it retains its power because Adele’s voice has a lasting sincerity that doesn’t fade, even on Best New Artist the hundredth listen.

The nominees: The Band Perry, Bon Iver, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, Skrillex Album of the Year The nominees: 21 (Adele), Wasting Light (Foo Fighters), Born This Way (Lady Gaga), Doo-Wops & Hooligans (Bruno Mars), Loud (Rihanna) Should win: Rihanna has an unfair advantage when it comes to award shows, considering that she releases a new album on what seems like every other Tuesday, so she’s out. Wasting Light was

Should win: In perhaps the most poorly nominated category of any awards show, the most deserved winner should naturally be the artist that is actually new.

That immediately rules out Bon Iver (For Emma, Forever Ago, their first album, was released in 2008) and Nicki Minaj (who signed with Young Money almost three years ago). The stand-out then, is Skrillex, who has used his extensive experience

in the industry, both as a singersongwriter and producer, to transform a genre formerly dominated by Europe into the consummate sound of the past year. Whether it’s dubstep, “brostep,” or something else entirely, Skrillex’s music is here for the long haul.

Best Alternative Music Album The nominees: Bon Iver, Bon Iver (Bon Iver), Codes and Keys (Death Cab for Cutie), Torches (Foster the People), Circuital (My Morning Jacket), The King of Limbs (Radiohead) Should win: Though Justin Vernon of Bon Iver made headlines recently with some not-so-subtle anti-Grammy comments (he told The New York Times Magazine that “we should not be gathering in a big room and looking at each other and pretending that this is important” around the time nominations were announced) while also refusing to perform at the awards, I doubt he’d be completely distraught if his group walked away with a win. At least, I hope not, because this near-flawless album was one of the best 2011 had to offer.

Her unibrow, stoic gaze and colorful clothing have made Frida Kahlo a pop culture symbol. But there is more to this famous Mexican artist than the designs that adorn handbags, coffee mugs and posters.

“Frida Kahlo: Through the Lens of Nickolas Muray” at the Tucson Museum of Art tells the story behind Kahlo’s brightly colored self-portraits. Through a series of photographs by Nickolas Muray, the exhibit unearths a story of unstable romance and multiple relationships in Kahlo’s personal life.

Hungarian immigrant Nickolas Muray is known for photographing famous figures such as celebrities and presidents. Muray took more than 10,000 pictures between 1920 and 1940, but Kahlo was one of the celebrities whom he photographed the most — because the two were also lovers.

Although Kahlo was originally married to famous muralist Diego Rivera, Kahlo had many affairs with men and women.

Muray and Kahlo’s affair began in 1931, and the two often kept in contact with lengthy love letters, packaged trinkets and lonely kiss marks on parchment, all of which are on display in the exhibit.

“Nick, with all my heart, with all my love, with all my memory, I think of you,” Kahlo wrote in one love note. The photographs offer a visual narrative through Kahlo and Muray’s intimate 10-year relationship. Muray eventually married another woman, but Muray and Kahlo remained good friends until her death in 1954.

“You are able to see her public image versus the private image,” said museum docent Gail Spahr.

Kahlo’s artwork is prevalent in popular culture, but this is an opportunity to see the original iconic images, said Ann SeiferleValencia, curator of Latin

American Art. As one museum attendee noted, the exhibit “says so much about (Kahlo’s) life.”

The exhibit’s photographs lead museum visitors through a chronological narrative of Muray and Kahlo’s relationship.

“It’s all connected visually,” Seiferle-Valencia said. Muray’s photographs portray Kahlo, candidly in her home in Mexico or posing with animals, in color and black and white. The exhibit also features a short documentary about Kahlo’s life. A portion of the gallery is dedicated to displaying her native Tehuana costume favorites and jewelry, which exude her feminine power and charisma, Spahr said.

Through her life of suffering, divorce and multiple affairs, the exhibit shows visitors not just Kahlo’s role as an iconic and celebrated artist, but her interesting and evocative story as a human being.

Late surge lifts Arizona over Buffs ‘Cats just one game behind conferenceleading Washington

By Nicole Dimtsios Daily Wildcat

After a so-so start to the Pac-12 conference season, the Arizona men’s basketball team won its third straight game as it defeated the Colorado Buffaloes 71-57 at the McKale Center on Thursday.

“I have a lot of anxiety in our home games because I haven’t gotten that good feeling, that confident feeling, that we established a year ago,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said. “Tonight we did. I thought the way we played tonight is reminiscent of how we’re played on the road.”

Arizona (17-8, 8-4 Pac-12) was able to cling to a late 10-point lead and had the momentum throughout the last five minutes of the game.

Big runs and defensive stops helped the Wildcats steadily build their lead throughout the second half. Arizona held Colorado to seven offensive rebounds — including just one in the first half.

Junior Solomon Hill and senior

Jesse Perry both finished with double-doubles and combined for 33 points and 25 rebounds.

“The way we played defense we made them missed shots so it’s a lot more shots for me to rebound,” Hill said.

The Wildcats also induced early foul trouble for the Buffaloes, forcing Colorado head coach Tad Boyle to adjust and play a smaller lineup. Six Buffaloes finished with three or more personal fouls.

Arizona was able to take advantage of the mismatches and finished the game on a 12-3 run halfway through the second half that put the game away.

“They had a couple guys in foul trouble and then they had to go to a smaller lineup,” Hill said. “When they go to a smaller lineup they can’t really execute their offense.”

Arizona’s struggles from the free-throw line have been welldocumented, but on Thursday that wasn’t the case. Arizona made up for its struggles from beyond the arc — where it shot just 3-for-16 — by going 26-for-35 from the charity stripe.

confidence, 8

Daily Wildcat The Arizona softball team faced McNeese State on Thursday night in Tempe, Ariz., and the Wildcats showed no signs of early-season jitters in an 8-1 victory in the Kajikawa Classic’s first game.

After losing in the Super Regional round of the NCAA postseason last year, the talk in practice and the fall exhibition season has been about Arizona’s hunger to get back on the field and prove that this is still “Arizona softball,” as coach Mike Candrea put it.

“It was the first game so there were definitely some first-game jitters,” Candrea said. “This team has worked extremely hard. They’ve done some really good things to make some adjustments mentally and physically. It’s going to pay dividends for us, but we have a long way to go.”

The defense of the Wildcats was on point, allowing just one run off a home run, although McNeese State did not help itself, leaving eight players on base. Starting pitcher Shelby Babcock allowed a home run and struck out nine, but said the team needs to pick it up the rest of the weekend.

“We started off a little slow with the bats,” Babcock said. “It was a slower pitcher, so we had a hard time hitting it (the ball). Everyone was playing great defense and hitting the ball well, and at the end of the game it started coming together.”

A surprise performance came from Chelsea Goodacre. The freshman started at catcher and tallied nine putouts for the Wildcats. Offensively, she had two hits in two atbats, including a home run in her first college game.

“She’s a very good hitter,” Candrea said. “I’ve always liked her approach to the plate. It’s really nice to have someone of her stature hitting low in the order. Hopefully she’ll see some good pitches down there and be able to produce some runs for us.”

Arizona will face Nebraska and Georgia Tech today followed

by Texas A&M and Syracuse on Saturday. The last game of the tournament for Arizona will be played Sunday against Cal State Northridge.

The men’s tennis team will face Minnesota and DePaul in this weekend’s matches.

Men’s tennis heads north for matches

By Iman Hamdan Daily Wildcat For its first road trip of the spring season, the men’s tennis team will travel to Minnesota to play a twomatch weekend indoors at the University of Minnesota’s Baseline Tennis Center in Minneapolis.

Arizona will play DePaul tonight and Minnesota on Sunday. Tonight’s match will mark the first time the Wildcats have met the Blue Demons in school history. Meanwhile, Sunday’s match will mark the fifth time the Wildcats and the Golden Gophers have met, with Minnesota holding a 3-1 advantage over Arizona. The Wildcats claimed the only win during the last meeting in 2008 by sweeping doubles and claiming five of the six singles matches.

“This will be a learning experience for us,” men’s head coach Tad Berkowitz said. “We are going to be playing indoors, which is a new environment for us and we are on the road.”

After a devastating loss to Cal Poly last weekend, the team made the necessary adjustments to improve its chances this weekend in Minnesota.

“I never doubted their effort,” Berkowitz said. “We are growing and learning so we can improve from week to week. We did some fine-tuning with the guys individually and feel good about this weekend.”

Meanwhile, the women’s team will host its second home match of the season against San Diego State on Saturday.

“Last weekend we played tough, but we didn’t play well,” women’s head coach Vicky Maes said. “We look to make improvements in doubles.”

In the 2009 spring season, when the teams last met, the Wildcats fell to the Aztecs, 4-3.

“We can’t underestimate San Diego State since we have been playing higher ranked teams,” Maes said.

“They will play until the last point.”

While the No. 5 Arizona men’s track team and No. 10 women’s team will split up this weekend to compete in two separate events, a pair of Wildcats will be taking on a bigger event — distance runners senior Stephen Sambu and sophomore Lawi Lalang will represent Arizona in the 5K at the Millrose Games.

“This is our biggest race yet,” Sambu said. “It will be our first time racing against professional runners. The pace will be very fast so it’s an honor to be there with Lawi. Very few college students were invited to race individually.”

Associate head coach James Li will fly in to New York Friday morning once the rest of his squad is settled in Seattle while head track and field coach Fred Harvey overlooks the team at the Boise State Team Challenge.

An invitation to the Millrose Games is rare for collegiate runners and offers an opportunity to compete against the best runners in the world.

Pair of Arizona Swim ends season with commits selected meet against Arizona State for McDonald’s AllAmerican Game

By Chris Cegielski Daily Wildcat

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

Two members of Arizona’s No. 1-ranked 2012 recruiting class were named to the McDonald’s AllAmerican team on Thursday. Forwards Brandon Ashley and Grant Jerrett will play for the West team in the All-Star game on March 28 on ESPN. Jerrett, a 6-foot-10, 220 pound forward from La Verne, Calif., is the No. 9-ranked recruit in the nation, according to ESPN. So far in his senior season for La Verne Lutheran High School, Jerrett is averaging 23.8 points, 10.9 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game.

Ashley, a 6-foot-8 forward from Oakland, Calif., is the No. 10-ranked recruit in the nation. Ashley is averaging 15.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game for Findlay Prep in Nevada — the same high school where current Wildcat guard Nick Johnson played his senior year.

Head coach Sean Miller said he is happy that two of his players are being recognized, but knows that being an All-American doesn’t mean everything. “(The McDonald’s game) is reflective of how talented these kids

are before they get to school, but no question you judge them by the standards of college once they get here,” Miller said at his weekly press conference on Tuesday. “The starting line in college doesn’t take into consideration whether you were McDonald’s All-American or not.”

Two other recruits from Arizona’s highly touted class did not get selected for the game. Center Kaleb Tarczewski, the No. 5 recruit in the nation, would likely have been a top candidate to be selected but was ineligible due to a reclassification into the 2012 class. The other recruit not selected was the No. 36 ranked guard, Gabe York, from Orange, Calif.

Historically, the fact that the Wildcats have two McDonald’s AllAmericans bodes well for its future.

Every year since 1979, except for one, there’s been at least one McDonald’s All-American on the national champion’s roster. This will be the first time for Arizona since 2008-2009 that a recruit will be on the McDonald’s roster, when former Wildcat Chase Budinger made it.

Jerrett and Ashley are the first McDonald’s All-Americans to commit to play for Miller at either Xavier or Arizona.

gotten better as the season grows and I hope this team follows suit,” Miller said.

a 3-pointer that helped to spark the Arizona’s offense early. The senior finished with 15 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal.

“I think it’s just finally starting to become consistent,” Fogg said about his hot streak in the past few games. “It’s kind of a big part of our team if I disappear in the past. I think when I’m scoring it opens up things for (Solomon Hill) and Jesse (Perry) as well.”

Although the team is on an upswing, Miller said the key to its success would be in practice rather than focusing on do-or-die games.

“I feel confident telling you that a lot of the teams we’ve had have

The Wildcats will take on the Utah Utes (5-19, 2-10) on Saturday in McKale Center. The Utes lost to ASU on Thursday night as they shot just 30 percent from the floor.

Chris Hines led the Utes with 10 points. Arizona last took on Utah on Jan. 19 in Salt Lake City where the Wildcats won by a score of 77-51. The game is at noon on Saturday.

Arizona swimming closes out its regular season on Saturday with a meet against rival ASU in Tempe.

Seniors Austen Thompson and Emma Darlington said the significance of the meet isn’t due to the rivalry, but rather what it means to the big picture.

“I’m excited, not really for the fact they’re our rivals,” Darlington said. “Just to get some more racing in before we head off to Pac-12 and NCAA because that’s really our main focus this year.”

Darlington redshirted last season due to a shoulder injury, but her presence has been felt this season

on the 400 and 200 free relay team, recording the first and second fastest times in the country. Recently, Darlington played a role in the firstplace finish in the 400-medley relay against No. 4 Texas.

Thompson, who is from the Phoenix area, never considered attending ASU, which he said was a reason the Sun Devils never heavily recruited him. Thompson said he has always received a lot of support when taking on ASU, but, on occasion, he has heard some heckling about attending the UA. “Sometimes friends will say things like, ‘ASU is better,’” Thompson said. “But I don’t like to say anything, I let my swimming do the talking.”

CONFIDENCE from page 6

rejuvenated swagger? Look at Fogg. After “disappearing,” as he put it, at times for the last three-plus seasons, he’s finally putting together a consistent streak.

“We lose a big part of our team if I disappear like I’ve been doing in the past,” Fogg said.

Arizona is turning into a team that steals opponent’s will to play through stingy defense and timely shots. The Wildcats used a 12-3 run midway through the second half to catapult themselves to a nine-point lead — one they wouldn’t relinquish throughout the rest of the game.

Solomon Hill finished one play with a put-back dunk off of a missed Fogg 3-pointer. On another, Jesse Perry followed Brendon Lavender’s missed 3 with an easy bucket. For the second straight game, the Wildcats blasted their opponent until it gave in.

That’s a sign of a team that’s finally coming into its own after an offseason that ravaged last season’s Elite Eight squad.

“We’re a lot more confident because of the simple fact that guys know their roles,” Hill said.

“Guys know their roles, and they’re going out and doing it.”

But Miller cautioned against columns like this one. As well as Arizona is playing, he said, it’s all about “honoring the process,” and not letting one game overshadow another.

“I’m not just saying this because it’s my only out, but if we make every game life or death, it’s no fun,” Miller said. “If anything is life or death around here; it’s tomorrow’s practice.”

But there comes a point it’s more than coincidence that Arizona has played its best basketball of the season for three consecutive games. The Wildcats felt that wall against their backs. Then they scaled it, took off running and haven’t looked back.

Thompson had a standout junior season and his final year at Arizona has been no different — recording a second-place finish in the 200-individual medley against No. 2 Texas, second place for the 400-individual medley against No. 3 Stanford, and third place in the 400-individual medley against No. 6 Cal. “If you want to race, you are going to have to be bleeding by the end of this race to beat me,” Thompson said of his mindset in the pool.

The Pac-12 Diving Championships will be held on Feb. 23 in Seattle, and the Pac-12 Swimming Championships are slated for Feb. 29 in Long Beach, Calif. The NCAA championships begin March 8.

W-Hoops on downward spiral after loss to Buffs

By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat

Entering Thursday’s game against Colorado, the Arizona women’s basketball team was in the midst of a sixgame losing streak, yet much of the team remained optimistic for the team’s chances going forward. After losing to Colorado, 69-59, on Thursday night, that streak has now reached seven games.

The Wildcats are now 13-11 on the season and a miserable 2-10 in the Pac-12.

Arizona guards Candice Warthen and Shanita Arnold tied for the team lead with 13 points in the loss. The struggles of star guard Davellyn Whyte continued as she shot just 3-of-10 for 10 points, five rebounds and five turnovers.

In the first half, the game appeared to be heading toward a nail-biting finish.

In the first 20 minutes alone, there were 11 lead changes.

The half ended with Colorado ahead by three points at 40-37.

The second half started off pretty much the same way, as Arizona kept it within three points for the majority of the first six minutes. With 13:38 left in the game, Arizona came within two points after a Davellyn Whyte 3-pointer. That was the closest the Wildcats would get, however, as Colorado’s Chucky Jeffrey made a 3-pointer of her own — one of five on the night — and the Buffaloes never looked back.

The 3-pointer by Jeffrey further extended into a 12-2 run, which finished out with Colorado outscoring Arizona 22-14 in the last 13:38. After starting the season 11-1, this was the Wildcats’ 10th loss in its last 12 games.
