Border wars: State sues feds

Arizona governor, attorney general countersuing US government over provisions in SB 1070

By Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Gov. Jan Brewer and state Attorney General Tom Horne announced on Thursday that Arizona filed another lawsuit against the federal government.

Brewer said the state is filing suit because of the federal government’s failure to secure the U.S.-Mexico border at Arizona.

Horne said Arizona is trying to get the federal government to “do its job.”

The lawsuit is, largely, a response

to a suit filed last year. The federal government sued to block several provisions of S.B. 1070 from taking effect, specifically a clause that would compel law enforcement officials to inquire about the citizenship status of a person they have detained.

Sen. Russell Pearce, the president of the state Senate, retired the “1070” designation earlier this year to acknowledge the “national and international implications” of the legislation.

UA President Robert Shelton released a statement on S.B. 1070 last April, in which he said fear of be-

ing questioned on immigration status is “a concern and fear that no one should have.”

Shelton also said he was concerned about how the legislation could affect potential applicants and current UA students.

“We have already begun to feel an impact from SB 1070,” Shelton wrote.

“The families of a number of outof-state students, to date all of them honors students, have told us that they are changing their plans and will be sending their children to universities in other states. This should sadden anyone who cares about at-

tracting the best and brightest students to Arizona.”

Jennifer Allen, the executive director of the Border Action Network, released a statement in which she said both Horne and Brewer are not addressing the priorities of the citizens of Arizona.

“Governor Brewer and Attorney General Horne demonstrate their limited understanding of the Arizona border and their disconnect from the priorities of Arizonans,” Allen wrote.

Allen also accused Brewer and SUIT, page 3

Sen. Jon Kyl won’t seek fourth term THE MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., the No. 2 Republican in the Senate, will not seek re-election to the seat he has held for three terms.

Kyl announced his retirement at an Arizona news conference.

“There is no other reason than the fact it is time,” Kyl said. “It is time for me to do something else and time to give someone else a chance.”

Kyl’s retirement is the fifth in the Senate as Republicans and Democrats gear up for 2012, when control of the chamber will be up for grabs.

Democrats and their allies have a 5347 majority but must defend 23 seats as opposed to the GOP, which has just 10 incumbents running.

Other senators who have announced that they are leaving include Joe Lieberman, I-Conn.; Kent Conrad, D-N.D.; Jim Webb, D-Va.; and Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas.

Kyl, the GOP whip, would likely have had an easy time seeking a fourth term, but his retirement makes the race a possible tossup because

Arizona is considered a competitive state for both parties, especially in 2012, a presidential election year.

“Senator Kyl’s announcement has instantaneously catapulted Arizona to a prime pick-up opportunity for Senate Democrats this cycle,” said Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee communications director Eric Schultz. “Republicans now likely face a primary in Arizona, similar to impending free-for-alls in nearly every other state.”

Still, the last time Arizona elected a Democrat to the Senate was 1988.

Republicans were elected to every statewide office in Arizona last cycle: senator, governor, secretary of state, attorney general, treasurer and education superintendent. After a tough primary, Sen. John McCain won reelection with 58 percent of the vote.

Over the last decade, Republicans have maintained about a 6 percent voter registration advantage in the state. But Democrats say they have been increasing their enrollment.

Among those considered possible GOP replacements for Kyl are former Rep. John Shadegg and Rep. Jeff Flake.

Among the potential Democrats: Janet Napolitano, a former governor and currently secretary of Homeland Security; Rep. Anne Kirkpatrick from Flagstaff, Ariz.; and U.S. Attorney Dennis Burke. Also mentioned are former state party chairman Jim Pederson and former state Attorney General Terry Goddard.

Study says diet is a possible ADHD treatment

the most common antibody produced by the body’s immune system. The higher the IgG levels, the more negative a reaction was to certain foods.

Jaswinder Ghuman, an associate professor of psychiatry, wrote an editorial on the study. She said IgG blood levels are not helpful in determining what foods trigger ADHD symptoms, but that parents can control what foods their children eat if they notice them having an adverse reaction.

Ghuman said because the study did not go into the long-term effects of the restrictive diet, it is hard to determine whether or not it would be helpful to students at the UA with ADHD. “The study needs to be replicated with another set of children to confirm the findings,” Ghuman said.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms may be controlled through a restrictive elimination diet, a new study suggests.

ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and into adulthood, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. Symptoms include difficulty focusing and paying attention, struggling with controlling behavior and hyperactivity.

The authors of The Impact of Nutrition on Children with ADHD study said certain foods can cause a negative reaction, like asthma, in children, and that they wanted to test if the same was true for the brain and triggering ADHD symptoms. Specifically they examined the effect of IgG. IgG, Immunoglobulin G, is

NATION Officials say U.S. power grid is top target for attack THE MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — A major cyber attack somewhere in the United States is becoming increasingly possible, top government intelligence officials said Thursday, warning that an assault on America’s power-grid system “represents the battleground for the future.”

The officials, speaking at a special hearing on Capitol Hill, also said that while al-Qaida has been diminished after nine years of the U.S. war on terror, more foreign groups have risen up, increasing concerns among U.S. authorities that one of them may eventually get their hands on a nuclear device.

“I don’t think there’s any question but that this is a real national security threat that we have to pay attention to,” CIA director Leon Panetta said of a cyber attack in this country. “The Internet, the cyber-

arena … this is a vastly growing area of information that can be used and abused in a number of ways.”

With that in mind, he told the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, “When it comes to national security, I think this represents the battleground for the future. I’ve often said that I think the potential for the next Pearl Harbor could very well be a cyber attack.”

Panetta said terrorists are determined to find a way to hack into the power grid system in the United States, which he said, “brings down the financial system, brings down our government systems. You could paralyze this country. And I think it’s a real potential, and that’s the thing we have to really pay attention to.”

He noted that extremists in Iran, Russia and China are developing “a significant capacity” to stage

such an attack, and that already “hundreds of thousands” of attempts are being made to sneak into national security networks.

“We’ve got to develop not only a defense against that,” he said, “but we’ve got to put our assets in places where we can provide sufficient warning that these attacks are coming.”

On the threat from nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, Michael E. Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said extremists are trying to gain control of nuclear weapons in Pakistan, and in fact “remain committed to obtaining all types of weapons of mass destruction.”

James Clapper, director of the Office of National Intelligence, was asked to elaborate. All he would say was, “Our assessment is that the nuclear weapons in Pakistan are secure. And that’s probably all we should say about that in public.”

GOP targeting Planned Parenthood THE MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE WASHINGTON — In the rush to slash the federal budget, House Republicans have taken quick aim the nation’s largest provider of abortions, reviving an emotional fight after a campaign season in which social issues were dormant.

A coalition of abortion foes joined with an undercover video activist on Thursday to call on lawmakers to cut all funding for Planned Parenthood, which they blasted as “complicit” in the trafficking of underage girls for prostitution.

Planned Parenthood denies the allegations.

The attack came a day after House Republicans announced a spending proposal for the rest of the budget year that would eliminate funding for a 40-year-old family planning program. Planned Parenthood is the largest recipient of the so-called Title X funds, which pay for contraception and cancer screenings, but not abortions, to low-income patients.

The proposed spending cuts

added momentum to an already burgeoning feud over abortion in Congress. Buoyed by the arrival of dozens of new anti-abortion Republicans, conservative lawmakers have introduced several bills that would further distance taxpayers from any connection to abortion.

Current policy already bars federal money in Medicaid and other government programs for abortion — except in cases of rape, incest or a danger to the life of the woman.

In response to the new push, Democrats and their allies accused Republicans of mounting an attack on women’s health and veering far from their promise of a laser-like focus on economic issues.

“The new leadership ran on the agenda of jobs and the economy and what they’re giving us instead is possibly the most extreme assault on reproductive rights in decades,” said Donna Crane, policy director for NARAL Pro-Choice America. “It’s a classic bait and switch.”

THE MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE JUBA, Sudan — Clashes broke out Wednesday and continued Thursday between a breakaway commander and the former rebel military of Southern Sudan, killing at least 16 people and ending a key cease-fire just months before the war-torn region is set to emerge as the world’s newest nation.

The Jan. 5 agreement signed between the Southern Sudan army and rebel George Athor helped pave the way for the undeveloped region’s peaceful referendum on independence Jan. 9-15. Southern Sudan is set for nationhood in July after 99 percent voted in favor of separation. Sudanese President Omar al Bashir certified the result Monday.

“The cease-fire is now broken,” said Philip Aguer, a spokesman for the Southern Sudan military, the Sudan People’s Liberation Army.

The referendum was the core part of a 2005 U.S.brokered peace deal between Sudan’s Arab government in the north and the Sudan People’s Liberation Army, ending decades of conflict between the regions that killed 2 million people.

Athor, a former Sudan People’s Liberation Army chief of staff, took up arms against Sudan’s southern government in Juba after a failed gubernatorial bid in April 2010 elections, claiming that the poll was rigged. Two lessknown militia leaders launched separate uprisings at the same time.

None has been fully squelched.

In the run-up to the referendum, Salva Kiir, the leader of Southern Sudan, granted Athor amnesty, which culminated in the

cease-fire deal last month just days before the polls opened.

On Wednesday, Athor’s men attacked the towns of Dor and Fangak in Southern Sudan’s Jonglei state, Aguer said, killing four southern soldiers and 12 of Athor’s men. Athor also planted land mines along a road in the area that detonated on two Sudan People’s Liberation Army vehicles, Aguer said.

Fangak had been captured, but the southern army retook it.

Fighting continued Thursday.

“We are still waiting for the number of casualties today. But there are casualties,” Aguer said Thursday.

Athor denies being the aggressor, telling the Sudan Tribune website Wednesday that the southern army attacked him first. The renegade commander is known for giving highly inflated casualty figures for the southern army when he’s talking to the news media.

More than a dozen civilians have been confirmed dead from the fighting in Fangak, according to Boutros Rwai, the head of a local human rights group and a native of the area. Athor’s men attacked the town without provocation, he said.

The renewed fighting between Athor and the southern army is the latest in a wave of violence to hit the region in the past week, putting a damper on the otherwise celebratory mood after the announcement of the referendum results.

On Wednesday, a junior minister in the Southern Sudan government was assassinated in his office in what appeared to be a family dispute.

Last week, a series of mutinies among southerners in the northern army across the south’s Upper Nile state killed 60, according to the state government.

During Sudan’s civil war, southerners fought one another as much as they did the northern army. After the 2005 peace deal, as the referendum neared, the region mostly united under Kiir’s leadership, but old tribal discords still swirl underneath the surface.

“They think they never have been active with men, and that’s the only reason to do a pap smear.”

The restrictive diet began with rice, meat, vegetables, pears and water.

Researchers then incorporated potatoes, fruits and wheat into the diet.

From there, according to the study, researchers “proceeded with a 4-week double-blind crossover food challenge phase, in which high-IgG or low-IgG foods (classified on the basis of every child’s individual IgG blood test results) were added to the diet.”

Obama pushes for unity in wake of shooting

By Bethany Barnes and Luke Money ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Standing before an audience of more than 13,000 in McKale Center, with an almost equal number watching via video from the nearby Arizona Stadium, President Barack Obama took a thoughtful pause.

“On Saturday morning, Gabby, her staff and many of her constituents gathered outside of a supermarket to exercise their right to peaceful assembly and free speech,” he said.

“They were fulfilling a central tenant of democracy and the vision by our founders … That is the quintessentially American scene that was shattered by a gunman’s bullets.”

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

hile waiting in line for my hourly cup of coffee, I overheard the conversation between two young men in front of me, wearing cut-off sleeve shirts, one of them ironically wearing an “I Heart Boobies” wristband. One guy said to the other, “Man, I wish they’d stop shouting ‘Chocolate vaginas’ outside. It’s like, really?”

The other guy snickered, “Yeah man, like, you don’t see us selling chocolate penises out on the mall.” He then ordered a fancy espresso beverage and proceeded on with his Beavis-like chuckling.

As I step onto my feminist soapbox, it’s hard to ignore these situations. It’s difficult to ignore situations when causes, like the Vagina Warriors, are meant to spread awareness of women’s issues and get rhetorically dismantled by individuals who laugh at them. I wonder if they had stopped to see exactly why “chocolate vaginas” were being shouted outside.

They would have learned about a beautiful movement happening on our campus to end violence against women.

It’s not to place vaginas on a pedestal, but to end the comical undertone of a word that means more when placed in a social context.

Each year, the UA Vagina Warriors puts on a production of Eve Ensler’s “The Vagina Monologues” to offer theatrical activism to women on our campus and in our Tucson community. These monologues tell the stories of women from around the globe and depict real narratives of what women face in areas clouded by injustice.

The Vagina Warriors on our campus raise funds annually to benefit the OASIS Center, which helps provide counseling support for survivors of relationship abuse and violence, as well as funds for the V-Day Movement itself. This year’s V-Day Spotlight is in honor of Myriam Merlet, a feminist activist who died in the earthquake in Haiti last year. The message to be heard is to find strength in Merlet’s memory, to continue to empower each other in this movement.

An overlooked concept of the women’s movement is how it affects our campuses directly. Unfortunately, it’s all too easy to connect the two. According to a study last year by the New York University Student Health Center, one in five women are raped while they’re in college. The same study also states that one in 12 college men admitted to committing acts that met the legal definition of rape.

If those simple statistics don’t shake you, it’s apparent that misunderstanding has blurred our awareness of the reality we live in. You should be asking: Where are the men in women’s movements?

Not to put pressure on those men I overheard, but maybe selling chocolate penises on the mall to raise awareness of this statistic may actually be a good idea for the men who do respect all women and individuals, not only to raise awareness of abuse against women, but for men too.

According to statistics on our very own OASIS Center’s website, between one in six and one in ten males are sexually assaulted.

It doesn’t matter the sex or gender. When looking up these statistics for college students, it’s of no surprise that alcohol is a reoccurring factor in these crimes. Let’s be smart, ya’ll, both women and men.

The mobilization of men is a vital and necessary component to raise awareness for an issue that affects the entire campus community. Making rape only a “girl thing” excludes the underlying truth of violence occuring to men as well.

As I step off my soapbox, I hope the testosterone level rises at the UA’s “Vagina Monologues” performances this semester.

We’ve got to cross the gender borders and unite for a campus-wide fight to end violence. Keep the globe in mind and find a way to send positivity. We’ve got to support our campus organizations that grab our attention to pay mind to these issues, even if that means shouting out “vagina” at the top of our lungs.

House Republicans introduce draconian anti-abortion legislation Nyles Kendall

T

ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT

he GOP’s effort to systematically strip women of their reproductive rights has reached a climax.

The “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act” (a.k.a. H.R. 3), one of the Republican Party’s highest legislative priorities, is one of two pieces of antiabortion legislation that could deny certain women their right to choose.

Current federal law, namely, the Hyde Amendment, prohibits government subsidization of abortion unless the pregnancy endangers the life of the mother or is the result of incest or rape.

But under the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” rape victims who rely on Medicaid, or any other federally subsidized abortion coverage, would have to prove that their pregnancy was the result of “forcible rape.”

This means victims who weren’t raped “forcefully” enough, or were either complicit or incapacitated, would be denied federally funded abortion coverage. These mostly low-income women would have to come up with the money for an abortion on their own or would have to carry the unwanted pregnancy to term.

The legislation did not define

“forcible,” but the word was removed last week after the backlash from women’s rights organizations came to a head. Republican Christopher Smith of New Jersey, the bill’s principal architect, said the term was being “misconstrued” and that it was not his intention to “redefine rape” as the bill’s opponents have contended.

But H.R. 3 isn’t just an assault on recipients of government-subsidized healthcare; the legislation would also impose tax penalties on individuals who are privately insured. If you own a private health insurance plan that provides abortion coverage, regardless of whether you’ve used it, your taxes could increase.

H.R. 358, poorly titled the “Protect Life Act,” introduced by Republican Joseph Pitts of Pennsylvania, has also caused an uproar.

Under the “Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act” (EMTALA), all hospitals are required to provide emergency care, regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. If the hospital cannot provide the necessary treatment, the patient must be transferred to a hospital that can.

H.R. 358’s “conscious clause” would override EMTALA, allowing hospitals

Congressional Clothing: Rep. Christopher Lee , R-N.Y., may not be the same Christopher Lee who starred in the “Lord of the Rings” films, but he certainly did his best imitation of Saruman the White after posting pictures of himself flexing in a bathroom mirror in response to a Craigslist advertisement. Lee has since resigned as a result. Just a word of advice, dude, if you have to post half-naked pictures of yourself on the internet (hint: you don’t) then at least do something a little more tasteful then a MySpace “picture of self in mirror.”

Just a while for Kyl: Sen. Jon Kyl (affectionately referred to as “Arizona’s other Senator”) announced he would not seek reelection in 2012. Kyl also said he is not interested in a potential cabinet position should a Republican become president, nor does he have any further political aspirations aside from a potential vice-presidential bid, which he said is unlikely.

Shocking news, to be true, but at least no one’s found any pictures of him on Craigslist … yet.

Living in De-Nile: Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Vice President Omar Suleiman both addressed protesters yesterday, telling them their voices would be heard and their demands would be met. Uh … yeah, guys. If the protestors had what they wanted, you wouldn’t be making speeches. Maybe the thousands of people shouting, “Get out” should have made you privy to that piece of information.

Geriatric gunmen: A 53-yearold man, whom authorities dubbed “The Granddad Bandit,” is negotiating a plea deal after being arrested on suspicion of robbing 25 banks in 13 states.

Police officials said that in surveillance tapes, the man could often be seen gesturing to his waistband as if he had a gun, though it was not clear if he actually did. I wonder if he did the same thing to keep those damn kids from skateboarding on the sidewalks.

The Daily Wildcat editorial policy

to refuse to provide emergency abortion care, even if the woman’s life is at risk.

Pro-life hospitals unwilling to terminate life-threatening pregnancies wouldn’t have to, nor would they be required to facilitate a transfer.

According to this legislation, neither the fetus nor the mother has a right to life. Apparently, allowing two people to die is less morally objectionable than performing an emergency abortion.

Abortion remains a highly polarized issue and has been the source of an ongoing culture war in this country.

A veritable army of women’s rights organizations and feminist groups have mobilized in an effort to combat this latest onslaught of anti-choice legislation.

But the GOP is sadly mistaken if it believes the 2009 election was a mandate to focus on abortion. Some of those who voted Republican last November remain unemployed. Apparently, creating more “jobs, jobs, jobs” isn’t Speaker of the House John Boehner’s priority.

Roe v. Wade was settled more than 60 years ago, yet Republicans still remain intent on flatly denying women their right to choose. Their sick preoccupation with restricting access to safe and affordable abortion will earn them a permanent minority in 2012.

The women who will die from “backalley” abortion complications won’t get a second chance.

= how much UA students spend on housing each year

By Alexander Vega Arizona Daily Wildcat

The Arizona Daily Wildcat • Your primary outlet to the student market

‘You can’t pull me over!’

A non-UA affiliated male was arrested for failing to stop for a police vehicle on Wednesday at 12:13 a.m.

A University of Arizona Police Department patrol car noticed a vehicle traveling at a very slow speed along Campbell Avenue.

One of the officers checked the vehicle’s speed and observed it traveling at 27 mph in a 35 mph zone.

The officer continued following the vehicle north on Campbell Avenue.

At Second Street, the vehicle swerved and crossed a lane divider. The driver of the vehicle quickly corrected the vehicle and returned to the middle lane.

The vehicle’s speed then dropped to 25 mph. At Helen Avenue, the vehicle swerved again, almost striking the curb.

As the vehicle passed Grant Avenue, on Campbell Avenue, it was still traveling at only 25 mph.

The officer then turned on the patrol vehicle’s emergency lights around Water Street.

The driver continued north until Copper Street and turned left. The car continued on Copper Street for a considerable distance.

The entire time, the officers had the patrol vehicle’s emergency lights activated.

The driver never accelerated as if trying to get away.

Other vehicles on Campbell Avenue saw the emergency lights and pulled to the right of the roadway.

The driver came to a stop at his own home and came out of the vehicle with his hands in his hooded sweater.

The driver walked aggressively toward the officers.

The officers stepped out of the vehicle and told the man to remove his hands from his pockets. “You’re university cops! You can’t pull me over!

This is a joke or something,� the man said with his hands still in his pockets.

An officer made the man sit down next to his vehicle, obtained his Arizona driver ’s license and ran a records check.

The man’s driver ’s license was suspended and the officer informed the man that his vehicle was going to be impounded.

As the officer spoke to the man, the officer smelled a moderate odor of alcohol.

The officer conducted a DUI investigation and determined that the man was not impaired.

The officer arrested the man for driving on a suspended license and for failing to stop for a fully marked police vehicle.

Welcome to a whole new world of financial freedom.

Cops curb custodial confrontation

UAPD officers quelled a verbal argument between two custodians on Tuesday at 7:36 p.m.

A UAPD officer responded to the Modern Languages building after a call about a verbal altercation between two UA employees.

Upon arrival, the officer met with the two men involved in the argument.

Both subjects were standing but not exchanging words.

The supervisor said he asked the custodian to go home for the night, but the custodian refused.

The supervisor saw the custodian pick up a wooden broom and was afraid that he was going to use it as a weapon.

Another officer arrived, and the two began interviewing the men in question.

The custodian said that he never planned on using the broom as a weapon against the supervisor and only wanted to return back to work.

He did, however, tell the officer that he never got along with his supervisor.

The custodian said that a week or two prior, a shop vacuum that he was responsible for had been stolen.

Since that incident, the supervisor has constantly reminded the custodian to lock the the vacuum and other supplies in the custodial closet, said the custodian.

On Tuesday, the custodian took the vacuum from the closet and left it in the hall while cleaning a bathroom, which starting the argument between he and his supervisor.

The supervisor corroborated that he believes the custodian continues to leave the closet unlocked.

Because the supervisor felt threatened when confronting the custodian about the issue, the supervisor asked for the custodian’s keys and for the custodian to go home for the night.

The custodian has been employed for over 30 years and said that he thinks his supervisors want him out.

The associate director for facilities management arrived and spoke with both parties.

The argument will be dealt with internally at facilities management, said the associate director.

Laptops stolen from administration

Two laptops were stolen from the fifth floor of the Administration building sometime between Feb. 4 and Feb. 6.

A UA employee reported the laptops stolen on Tuesday at 8:28 a.m.

A UAPD officer arrived to the administration building and met with the employee.

The employee noticed the two laptops — a Dell and a Macbook — were missing from a fifth floor office.

The employee did not know anyone who would steal the laptops.

Access to the office is available to multiple employees with a key.

There is no video surveillance footage available from the office, but the office was in regular use between those two dates.

The laptops were last known to be stored outside of their original packaging in the top cabinet shelf of the office said the employee.

Yet, the employee did not know of anyone who was aware of the location of the two laptops.

Victim’s Rights forms were mailed to the UA.

What are your Valentine’s Day plans?

I don’t really know yet, don’t really have anything planned.

So it’s not going to be a very enjoyable day?

No, I didn’t say that, I just don’t know yet.

I don’t know what is going to happen.

Favorite movie to make love to?

Star Wars.

Have you found a woman who shares this passion?

She found me and introduced me to the wonderful side of life.

How? DVD (laughs).

What inspired you to buy these glasses?

Uniqueness.

Do you think you are unique?

People that try too hard to be unique take away from being unique, so I don’t try. I think I just am.

If you and I were the last two people on Earth, what would happen?

You would have to be a really awesome girl or else the human population would just end.

Good answer.

Yeah. I could have said, “We could just go at it like rabbits!”

Can’t find a date? Let a celeb be your matchmaker Celebrities entertain and enlighten us about life and love on a collective basis, and now, in some special cases, they’re helping their fans find love.

That’s the premise of “The FixUp Show,” a weekly stage show in Los Angeles in which singles get a chance to be paired up with their potential future mates by two of their friends and a random celebrity.

Accordingtohost/creatorJ.Keithvan Straaten, “The Fix-Up Show” started up in New York last summer and moved to Los Angeles. Celebrities who’ve

helped make matches include comedian Margaret Cho, former “Brady Bunch” cast member Eve Plumb, comedy writer Bruce Vilanch and “Price Is Right” host Drew Carey.

“The thing to remember is these celebs do this show knowing that there is no pay and it’s not on TV,” van Straaten told AOL News. “It’s just fun and helpful.”

The panelists ask questions before making their choices, giving some celebrities the chance to show a different side of themselves to the audience.

Case in point: When Cho appeared recently, it was to help a woman who liked adventure find a man who fit the bill.

“So Margaret asked the woman if she had ever had a bad adventure date and then related how she had gone on a hot air balloon date and that the balloon had crashed hard, dragging her and her date face first through cow patties,” van Straaten said.

“Then she asked the woman, ‘Has this ever happened to you?’“ — AOL News

Previews Injury-plagued Icecats head to Utah to take on Weber State

By Kyle Arps ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The No. 23 Icecats are headed up to the Weber County Ice Sheet in Ogden, Utah this weekend for a two-game series against the Weber State Wildcats. The Icecats (10-12-1) swept the Wildcats (621-1) by a combined score of 17-4 earlier in the season at the Tucson Convention Center.

But this time the Icecats won’t have the luxury of their raucous crowd, as the games are in WSU’s 2,200-seat arena — the same arena that hosted the curling events during the 2002 Winter Olympics.

Arizona’s club hockey team will also be without No. 2 scorer Andrew Murmes (shoulder) and one of its top defenseman, Michael Basist (pinched nerve).

“We’re going with only 17 skaters with all of the injuries,” said head coach Leo Golembiewski.

“We’re going with a short bench this weekend.”

Golembiewski said the Icecats will be suiting up nine forwards, only five defenseman and their three goaltenders. The Icecats are also at a disadvantage because of their lack of ice and practice time because of scheduling issues with TCC. “We’ve only had one practice

since our last game on Jan. 29. It was last Friday, but it was a good one,” Golembiewski said. “We want to get out there and get on the ice.”

Although the Icecats swept the Wildcats in early December, they’re far from overconfident.

“It has been a long time since we played Weber State, and they’ve played a lot of games since then, and so have we,” Golembiewski said. “So, we don’t know what is going on in their program,” According to the team’s website, WSU has tallied up a couple big wins over Boise State and Oregon since the last time they have played the Icecats.

Women’s tennis to wrap up Calif. trip

By Zach Rosenblatt ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona women’s tennis team will finish its recent California swing this weekend as it travels to San Diego to take on San Diego State on Friday at 2 p.m. and the University of San Diego on Saturday at 10 a.m. Most teams might not be very psyched about a six-game road trip, but the Wildcats have proven themselves on the road, sporting a 3-1 record away from home. “(Last) weekend was a team effort, and I feel we gained a lot of valuable experience going into (this) weekend,” said head coach Vicky Maes .

The Wildcats will face the No. 50 Aztecs this afternoon and the No. 47 Toreros on Saturday. Last weekend, the Wildcats lost to Fresno State by a score of 4-3 but bounced back the following day 6-1 victory over Nevada.

“Losing to Fresno State was a little tough Friday, but I was so pleased with how the team rebounded the next day to defeat a really motivated Nevada team,” Maes said. “We had to battle hard for every point and our players were up to the challenge.”

Men host New Mexico and San Diego The No. 43 Arizona men’s team hopes to continue its winning streak from last weekend when it won decisively against the University of the Pacific and Northern Arizona by scores of 5-2 and 7-0 , respectively. The Wildcats’ home stand will continue this weekend as they face No. 61 New Mexico today at 1 p.m. and No. 50 University of San Diego on Sunday at noon.

This is a reunion of sorts for head coach Tad Berkowitz , as he was a top player for the New Mexico Lobos in the 90s. He earned All-WAC honors three times , WAC Player of the Year honors in 1996 and helped lead the Lobos to WAC Conference championships in 1994 and 1995 .

The Lobos are undefeated with a 5-0 record going into today’s match. This is the 41st meeting between the two schools , and the Wildcats have maintained the upper hand to this point hoisting a 32-8 record against the Lobos .

Sunday will mark the 26th time that the Wildcats have faced San Diego, with UA also holding a solid 19-6 advantage over the Toreros .

UA swim hosts Sun Devils

By Kelly Hultgren ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT Arizona’s ingrained rivals will be making their way south tomorrow as ASU challenges the No. 6 men’s and No. 7 women’s swim teams at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center for Arizona’s final dual meet of the season.

Although the state rivalry aspect of the meet is certainly a factor, ASU isn’t near Arizona’s caliber — the Sun Devils aren’t even ranked. Head coach Frank Busch noted why its program isn’t up to par, especially on the men’s side.

“Well, ASU is in the process of building a really nice women’s program,” Busch said. “The men went through some really traumatic stuff when they dropped the program, and then added them back. … It’s still a limbo situation.”

In regards to good match-ups this weekend, with the men’s side in possible disarray, the lady Sun Devils are the competitors to watch out for, Busch said.

Like a true Wildcat, senior Dana Christ said she is mostly looking forward to the state rivalry aspect.

“I don’t think the competition is as head to head, but I know we have a lot of fun with it — just knowing that the entire university really gets into the ASU and UA athletic event,” Christ said. “We are really excited, and we really enjoy the girls on the other team, so it’s nice to see them too — but still, there’s rivalry there. It will be a fun meet.”

Another exciting factor for Christ is the senior recognition ceremony that takes place annually at the last home dual meet.

“I’ve seen the seniors be presented and talked about for the past three years, and it’s kind of nice to get recognized,” Christ said. “We have a really small class, so it should be special.”

Along with Christ, the seniors being acknowledged are Emma Darlington , Susana Helms , David Austin, Ben Grado, Robert Iddiols, Craig Jordens and Ivan Tolic.

Rivalry and ceremony aside, the forefront intent is to perform well.

“It’s a same old meet, were going to go out there and try to do our best,” Christ said. “It’s a good friendly-fight on the pool deck.”

UA duels in the desert ARIZONA AT ASU Sunday 7 p.m.

BREAKDOWN

Arizona will win if …

The Wildcats play exactly how they played in last season’s game at ASU — well, the second half. That’s when the No. 15 Wildcats (20-4, 9-2 Pacific 10 Conference) forced the ball down the Sun Devils’ throats, breaking the game open by running and disallowing ASU to set up their match-up zone defense.

And this year, ASU has less experience while Arizona goes 10 deep.

Arizona State will win if …

They get a few lucky breaks. In such rivalry games, it won’t matter that Arizona is No. 1 in the conference and ASU (9-14, 1-10 Pac-10) is a far-and-away last. It’s quite possible this game could come down to a few possessions, and if the balls bounce ASU’s way or the Wildcats hand anything to them, there’s no denying the Sun Devils could pull off the upset.

Oh, and it wouldn’t hurt if the Sun Devils could find their shooting stroke. They’re only connecting on 43 percent of their field goals.

Key players

Kevin Parrom, Arizona Per usual, Parrom will be the bad guy against ASU, and that role will be a more prominent one in Tempe. He’s coming off the best game of his career, and head coach Sean Miller said Wednesday that he considers Parrom an addition to this year’s team after the forward missed games battling injuries last season.

Jamelle McMillan, ASU Not averaging spectacular numbers with seven points and four assists, it’s essential the Sun Devil point guard controls the tempo by slowing down the game to keep the deep Wildcats from running ASU out of its own gym and limiting the number of possessions for Arizona.

Fun facts

• Don’t look now, but Miller’s winning percentage at Arizona is already at 67 percent. That’s approaching the record from his five years at Xavier University, where he amassed a 71 percent winning percentage.

• Point guard Momo Jones and forward Kevin Parrom scored 25 of Arizona’s 31 points in the three overtimes at California last Saturday.

• UA forward Derrick Williams has scored in double figures for 52 consecutive games.

Tempe tournament trivial for Wildcats While ASU is searching for a victory to highlight its season, Sunday’s matchup is just another game for Arizona

COMMENTARY BY Vincent Balistreri sports writer

The basketball themed duel in the desert on Sunday is more important in Tempe than it is in Tucson.

While diehard ASU fans are looking to next season, Arizona is looking up the NCAA tournament first-round cities.

Wildcat fans are riding their team’s five-game winning streak, while Sun Devil fans are trying to remember the last time their team won a game.

Sun Devils fans hope their team will keep the game close, while Arizona fans are wondering if their team will win by 10 or 20.

Arizona is 20-4, 9-2 in the Pacific 10 Conference, while ASU is 9-14, just 1-10 in the Pac-10.

The point is simple — Arizona is a good team and Arizona State is a really bad team.

Arizona State needs Sunday’s game to bring something positive to a fan base that has nothing to be proud of against their in-state rival except for the a missed extra point. Even then, their team went to off-season workouts while their rival still had another game after the season.

ASU does have a No. 13 softball team, but the Wildcats are No. 1.

Maybe the Sun Devil baseball team can finish with a better season than its rival. But it won’t happen this year, they’re on probation.

With Sunday’s basketball showdown, nothing will

Arizona power forward Derrick Williams and the Wildcats are rolling with a probable NCAA tournament berth ahead of them, while ASU is the Pac-10 bottomfeeder looking for a win on Sunday in Tempe to give its season a silver lining.

change ASU’s struggles against its rival.

With the current team the Sun Devils will bring to the court on Sunday, the sweep is guaranteed for the Wildcats.

Even if the Wildcats lose, what’s the worst that can happen? They’ll probably be tied for first place.

If the Sun Devils win, they’ll still be in last place.

Arizona State is the Cleveland Cavaliers of the Pac-10, and the irony is the

Cavs coach Byron Scott is a former Sun Devil. Maybe Herb Sendek should send Scott a text message telling him to hang in there.

It’s obvious that Arizona players don’t view the Sun Devils like they did a year ago, and it wouldn’t be surprising if some Wildcat players are looking ahead to Washington next week.

Quite frankly, the Wildcats BALISTRERI, page 11

Arizona defeats Indiana 4-0 Softball team wins first game of the Kajikawa Classic

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The Arizona Wildcats and pitcher Kenzie Fowler started the season off on the right foot, defeating the Indiana Hoosiers 4-0 Thursday night in Tempe.

“We didn’t do anything great, and luckily we had stability on the mound,” said Arizona head coach Mike Candrea. “Kenzie (Fowler) took command of the game, and we scratched a few runs at the end.”

Fowler (1-0) kept the Hoosiers (0-1) off the base paths with a combination of strikeouts and defense. She faced 25 batters in the game and only allowed three hits. Twelve of her outs were recorded via the strikeout.

Indiana’s Lindsay Callanan was the victim of Fowler’s new pitching style as she struck out three times.

“I thought (Fowler) threw very well,” Candrea said. “She had great command of her pitches, scattered three hits. I think only one ball was hit hard.”

Fowler began the game with five strikeouts in the first six batters she faced.

On the offensive side, six of the Wildcats (1-0) recorded a hit in their first game of the season. Catcher Stacie Chambers and designated hitter Lini Koria also recorded RBIs in the game.

Chambers and third baseman Brigette Del Ponte each had doubles.

Both teams were a little rusty out in the field, recording multiple errors in the game — Arizona recorded two, while Indiana recorded three.

Sophomore Matte Haack got the start in short stop for the Wildcats, but recorded one the Wildcats’ errors and Del Ponte had the other error.

Candrea would not reveal who would start tomorrow or for the rest of the weekend.

He said Haack’s status as the permanent starter is still in

question.

“Right now, she wasn’t really challenged a bunch, but we’ll see,” Candrea said.

Arizona got on the board in the first inning when Chambers knocked in a run with an RBI double. The Wildcats, however, left the bases full in the inning.

UA didn’t score again until the sixth inning and added the final two in the fourth.

Indiana’s Morgan Melloh, a transfer from Fresno State, gave up two earned runs.

Melloh also struck out 12 batters in the game.

“Facing a left-hander, she’s a pretty good little pitcher. With very average lighting, I knew it was going to be a tough game offensively,” Candrea said. “When someone strikes (Brittany) Lastrapes out twice, they’re pretty talented.”

The Wildcats will face Utah and Nebraska tomorrow in a double header. The Utes defeated Ole Miss yesterday 10-0 and the Cornhuskers run-ruled Portland State 11-2 in five innings. The Wildcats take on Utah at 4:30 p.m. and then face Nebraska at 7 p.m.

W-Hoops hosts ASU

Wildcats searching for first victory since defeating Cal last month four straight losses.

“We’ve really been focusing on that this week, since we had the whole week to prepare,” Arnold said. “We’ve just been really focused on what we need to fix.”

Whyte said she has a little more motivation to beat ASU in attempts to get Arizona back on track after a rocky month.

“The rivalry with Arizona and ASU is big, but because I’m from there and didn’t go to (ASU), it’s kind of a lot to balance,” Whyte said.

Whyte played with ASU standout guard Dymond Simon at St. Mary’s high school in Phoenix, but she said that the two don’t talk trash outside of the occasional text message before a game.

“When we’re on the court, we don’t really say much until after the game,” said Whyte, who scored a team-high 13 points against the Sun Devils earlier this season.

After Sunday’s game, the Wildcats will wrap up the season playing four of six games on the road before the Pac-10 Tournament starts on March 9.

Arizona guard Davellyn Whyte and the women’s basketball team are struggling, but the Wildcats have a chance to recapture their winning ways against an ASU team that defeated them 75-43 earlier in the season.

It’s been a tough three weeks for the Arizona women’s basketball team, which hasn’t won a game since beating California on Jan. 22.

But all that matters is a chance to knock off an ASU (14-7, 6-5 Pacific 10 Conference) team on Sunday that handed the Arizona Wildcats a 75-43 loss in their first meeting this season.

“It’s a big rematch game,” said sophomore guard Davellyn Whyte, a Phoenix native. “We want to take back what’s really ours. This is a chance to show the teams that we lost to that we were really supposed to win the first time.”

Even though Arizona is in the midst of a four-game losing streak, the Wildcats (139, 4-7) are looking at this weekend’s game as an opportunity to show that they didn’t play near their ability in the season’s first matchup.

“I feel like we’ve been working hard on every little thing we need to clean up,” said guard Shanita Arnold, who scored only two points while committing nine turnovers in the earlier meeting. “We know what ASU is going to do … and we know what we need to fix. Now we’ve got to put it together.”

Arizona has found a way to eliminate big, game-changing mistakes this season, but the little mistakes that the Wildcats have been making have added up during

Wildcats take on Wolf Pack Cristello rounding into one of Pac-10’s top gymnasts

By Kevin Nadakal ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT The University of Arizona gymnastics team is rolling, and it looks to continue its winning ways as it heads to North Carolina to take on No. 24 North Carolina State at 5 p.m. on Saturday.

The team is coming off its best meet of the season last week against the University of Illinois at Chicago, when they posted a score of 195.400 for their third victory in a row. Despite the Wildcats’ success, they still struggled during the beam and floor routines.

“It’s a matter of reputation, and a lot of times it’s a mental thing,” said head coach Bill Ryden. “We are still getting newer athletes used to their positions and some of the new routines. Sometimes there are just unfortunate breaks at the wrong time.”

The Wildcats hope to get Molly Quirk back this week as she was only able to participate in two events last week after coming down with an illness.

Quirk is one of the best all-around athletes on the team and depended on not to fall during her routines. Her absence hurt the team last week when both Jordan Williams and Deanna Graham fell during their beam routines. “(We need) four solid events,” Ryden said. “We need to keep progressing routine wise like we have been, but we definitely need to not count falls.”

Quirk does think that she will be able to compete this week although her voice is still hoarse.

“If a gymnast believes, more often than not they can make it come true,” Ryden said. “They know their bodies and what’s required of them. She isn’t feeling great yet, but she feels a lot better than she did last week.”

Heading to North Carolina will be the first big road trip of the season for the Wildcats. They have been able to compete in the confines of their own home three out of the five meets. For the other two meets, they did not have to leave the West Coast as they traveled to California and Utah.

“I don’t think it should be an issue,” said assistant coach Randi Acosta. “They just have to mentally prepare and hit the way they know how. I don’t think the cold weather or travel time will get in our way.”

Cristello named Pac-10 Gymnast of the Week

Aubree Cristello bested her competition in the Pacific 10 Conference this week as she was awarded the Pac-10 Gymnast of the Week.

Cristello smashed all of her individual records last week as Arizona Gymnastics blew past the University of Illinois at Chicago. Cristello earned a career high on vault, bars and floor as she posted

probably could use extra practice time to prepare for the Huskies this week and still leave Tempe with a win on Sunday night.

Kevin Parrom is returning to Tempe after becoming the most hated man there following a hard foul on Ty Abbott a year ago. At Arizona’s weekly press conference, it wasn’t discussed, probably because it doesn’t matter at this point.

The biggest challenge for Arizona will be getting up for the game.

“We got to play like we’re playing Washington or Kansas,” said point guard Momo Jones.

It will be hard to imagine Jamelle McMillan being Isaiah Thomas and Kyle Cain as one of the Morris twins.

If you ask Sean Miller what he thinks of ASU, he probably will tell you they’re a good team that’s been unlucky.

“They have dealt with more adversity than any

scores of 9.850, 9.875 and 9.900, respectively. These scores added up to a career-high all-around score of 39.400, which gave Cristello the 10th best allaround performance in the history of the UA. “She just had a fantastic meet, and finishing with that 9.9 on floor was fantastic,” Ryden said. “Every event she was spectacular. Even though she was first-team all conference last year, I feel like she is better in every single event this year.”

Cristello has struggled with nagging injuries all year and Ryden said that the UIC meet was only her second healthy meet, and when she gets into the rhythm of things she could be really dangerous.

Cristello suffered a shoulder injury in practice and was unable to compete all-around for two events.

Ryden already considers her one of the best gymnasts in the conference.

“I have never gotten that before so it was nice,” Cristello said of the award. “I was never expecting it.

“I have never gotten a 9.9 before and I was kind of hoping I did (after my floor routine). It was just a really good feeling. I have been waiting for it and it finally came.”

team in our conference, and it’s not even close,” Miller said. “I really believe we have to play a tremendous game to beat ASU on their home court.”

But what else do you expect from a coach that’s going up against one of his mentors.

Every ASU fan knows the Sun Devils probably won’t win on Sunday. And if they do, they’re probably a delusional fan of a bad team.

Trust me I know how that goes — I’m a San Francisco 49ers fan.

While football fans are depressed because last Sunday was the last football game, for who knows how long, Sun Devil fans still have one last Sunday game to look forward to against the Wildcats.

What other team do Tempe-area fans have to look forward to in town after Sunday?

The Suns?
