rmed with only a stick on the outskirts of his Syrian neighborhood, Mohammad Hilou would keep watch at night and warn people if he saw the Syrian military approaching. They came one night, and they took Hilou with them. His body — riddled with bullets and with a hole drilled in his head — was found the next morning. He was married, with two children. “He wasn’t a hard-line revolutionary, just a normal person,” said Osamah Eljerdi, a molecular and cellular biology junior who described his relative’s gruesome death. “But he felt obligated to protect his neighborhood.” Hilou is among the thousands of Syrians who’ve been killed by their government since the revolution started a year ago. Government control makes it difficult to communicate with anyone in Syria. In Lebanon, which borders

Campus groups vie for share of $1.5 million in fee money On first day of hearings, Student Services Fee Advisory Board allocates $810,600 By Stephanie Casanova

Breaking down the numbers
DAILY WILDCAT
The Student Services Fee Advisory Board granted $232,000 to Project RUSH, $225,900 to a new academic probation program and $161,500 to Scholarship Universe during its allocation hearings on Monday. The Student Services Fee is an annual, $80 charge assessed to all UA students. The board then partitions out that money to campus groups. Based on conservative estimates for fiscal year 2013, the board will allocate about $1.5 million, though organizations have requested about $2 million. The board allocated $810,600 of that on Monday, easily passing some proposals while making changes to or denying others. Project RUSH, a project that created jobs and a speedier process for students to call financial aid with questions, was granted their funding yearly for two years without much debate. A third year of funding was turned down to maintain flexibility of future funds, said Daniel Altomare, a senior studying business economics and history and co-chair of the board. After much debate, the board passed a request for funding that will assist a pilot program, Pathway to Academic Student Success
For Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa, an ex-migrant worker and world-renowned neurosurgeon at John Hopkins University, patients are inspiring and provide enriching personal histories. The UA’s neuroscience department welcomed Quiñones-Hinojosa on Monday to learn about his life and experiences. John Hildebrand, neuroscience department head, opened the 45-minute presentation on Quiñones-Hinojosa by speaking about his “indomitable and optimistic spirit.” “Having such an optimistic spirit is important in his field of work where every patient will die — even after surgery,” Hildebrand said. Quiñones-Hinojosa said he is passionate about working in an intense field such as neurosurgery and finds his patients motivatonal. Migdalia Gonzalez, a biochemistry senior, attended the presentation and said she hopes to one day work in the same field as Quiñones-Hinojosa. “I heard about him six or seven years ago, and I thought he was so inspirational that we are so similar,” she said. “My parents are from the same place he is and I’m also working in a neural science lab.” Gonzalez’s parents are migrants from Mexicali, Mexico, and arrived in the states in the 1980s, which is around the same time Quiñones-Hinojosa migrated to the San Joaquin Valley at the age of 19. Quiñones-Hinojosa grew up as the middle child and attended first grade at the age of 5, which was around the same age he also began working at a gas station to help support his family. By age 11, he began working in cotton and tomato fields and continued to do so after arriving in the United States. After he moved to California, he started taking English as a second language courses at the local community college, and after becoming a U.S. citizen was able to attend the University of California, Berkeley. He later attended Harvard University where he saw his first open brain surgery, which inspired him to become a neurosurgeon.

Probation Program, which is intended to help students on academic probation maintain good grades and stay in school. Many board members were concerned that the program requires students to take initiative and go to these classes, which is unlikely for students on academic probation to do unless their reliance on financial aid is enough of an incentive. “I think that it’s a good start for a pilot program being that our retention rates are not as high as we would like them to be here at the University of Arizona,” said Blanca Delgado, a public health junior. “Even though it is a
voluntary approach, I think that it may be a wakeup call for some students.” Scholarship Universe requested $350,000 in funds to both maintain and expand its website. The program’s application focused on expanding Scholarship Universe and trademarking it for sale to other schools, something the board members found problematic. After discussing the effectiveness and common problems of the website, the members decided expansion was unnecessary and not something student

SERVICE FEE, 3
Grads’ business turns tables into tablets By Kyle Mittan DAILY WILDCAT
A pair graduates from the Eller College of Management have developed a digital menu service that allows restaurant patrons to browse, order and pay for meals from their table using electronic tablets. JusTouch, a company founded by May 2011 graduates Josh Banayan and Jarrod Carr, started out as a project for the entrepreneurship program during their senior year and quickly became a company of its own. After placing second in the college’s year-end showcase competition, Banayan and Carr quickly gave up their own post-graduation plans to instead pursue a future as entrepreneurs. “Jarrod was supposed to go to law school, and
I was supposed to get my third major and come back for another semester,” said Banayan, who was studying entrepreneurship and management information systems when he co-founded JusTouch. “Both of us decided to scratch that … we launched the company as soon as the program was done.” The service itself implements its own devices and software into today’s restaurant setup to create a system that allows waiters and waitresses more time to focus on customer interactions and less time on the technical aspect of taking orders and payments, according to the JusTouch co-founders. When customers go to a restaurant using the JusTouch service, the hostess seats the patrons and hands them a 10-inch or 7-inch tablet, depending on the location. A restaurant’s entire
menu can be accessed from the device. Currently, the company’s two interfaces consist of food and wine. From the menu, users can filter their search by factors like price or type, and can see pictures of each selection, its nutritional information and make changes to the meal accordingly. Much like an Internet browser, tabs for each customer are also available, allowing patrons to divide their checks between themselves, then swipe their credit or debit card on the device. The tablets themselves are manufactured in China, specifically for JusTouch. While the device may seem to replace a waiter or waitress, Banayan and Carr said that the system is meant to complement a wait staff, not supersede it. “Our goal is to keep the restaurant process as close to what it is now as possible,”
Banayan said. Additionally, Carr said they predict that tips for waiters and waitresses will go up, based on the logic that the technology will allow them to focus more on the customer. The device also allows for a number of options on what percentage to tip, ranging from 10 percent to 20 percent. Citing a study done on New York taxi cabs that implement the same tipping options, Carr said that tipping increased by 22 percent. JusTouch tablets, he said, will likely have a similar effect. There are currently two restaurants in Tucson that are using the JusTouch system. PY Steakhouse is offering its wine menu on the tablets, and a contract has been signed at Taco Bron in the Tucson International Airport, which should

of their own families,” Eljerdi added. “If they’re working for the government, your father or son will gladly throw you under the bus.” Possibly the most destructive way to cause someone mental damage is to make them believe that the government is watching them at home, said Charles Raison, an associate professor of psychiatry. “The more demanding something is and the less authority you have over it, the more likely you are to develop psychiatric symptoms,” he said. “Spying on people at home is how these horrible regimes operate and it’s the ultimate way to control people. It breeds insanity.” Depression and post-traumatic stress disorder are common symptoms for people living under a dictatorship. Raison, who’s lived in Iran and is CNN’s mental health expert, said the media has been overlooking the psychological problems of people living under authoritarian Arab regimes. “I haven’t heard anything about the long-term mental health consequences of what’s going on in the Arab Spring countries,” he said. “When all this is over, helping the victims with the horrific mental trauma they’ve experienced is one of the best long-term investments people can make for Syria.” Cauterizing the violence is complex, especially since Russia and China oppose removing Syria’s president, Bashar

Syria, Eljerdi’s aunt found a YouTube video showing Hilou’s dead body. She gathered the details of his death and sent Eljerdi’s family an email with the video. “It’s hard when you realize someone you know was killed,” he said. “You feel the impact of the tragedy.” Surveillance cameras and cell phone taps are used so often that people get used to being spied on, said Muhammad Al-Khudair, a Near Eastern studies graduate student who lived in Homs, the “Capital of the Syrian Revolution,” for most of his life. “Once in a while you find the courage to speak up — not in public of course — but to someone else in private,” he said. “You’re terrified for 10 or 15 days. If nothing happens, you’re safe. Then you wait a few days, speak up and the fear starts again.” If a Syrian protested in public, AlKhudair said a sniper’s bullet or a security agent’s torture tools could silence them. If the police feel “merciful”, he said, they’ll only slap and beat the person on the street and then let them go. But even at home, nobody’s safe from the government, Eljerdi said. “There’s thousands of security agents and a lot of people become suspicious
al-Assad, said Matt Flannes, who teaches a class on the Arab Spring revolutions. Flannes, a graduate student studying government and public policy who graduated from the School of Middle Eastern and North African Studies, said he doesn’t support U.S. military intervention, but might change his stance as the situation evolves. Because of Syria’s proximity to Israel, its economic ties with Russia and its relationship with Iran, a failed U.S. policy would set off a chain of events that could lead to anything from higher gas prices to igniting a civil war, Flannes said. “Those who say that people who oppose intervention are friends with Assad see the world in black and white. In reality, it’s more shades of grey,” he said. “But the consequences of inaction could lead to genocide. It’s an incredibly complex issue and there’s certainly a breaking point where the international community will have to act. Maybe we’re already there.” Al-Khudair and Eljerdi suggested different forms of intervention, but both agreed that the solution, whatever it may be, should be initiated by the Arab League. Then the international community can follow. Describing his vision for Syria’s future, Al-Khudair said he prays a better society will rise from the ashes of destruction. “Syria is screaming,” he said. “But justice will come soon. It has to.”

be operational within the week as a kiosk-style menu, with a tablet mounted to a wall. The company is also in the process of developing a marketing campaign to attract more restaurants to the service. Kevin Brady, the manager of PY Steakhouse, said he was pleased with the service in a statement issued to JusTouch. “Working with JusTouch and integrating their tablets into PY Steakhouse has played a major role in the success of our operations,” Brady said. “The tablet has made our waiters’ lives easier and gives our customers a great way to learn more about their favorite wines.” Banayan and Carr attribute their company’s progress almost completely to their time in Eller, and said that they still keep in contact with many of their former professors. The McGuire Center for Entrepreneurship’s mentoring program was what helped them turn their school project into an actual business, Banayan said. “It’s very difficult to teach entrepreneurship — you have it or you don’t,” he said. “But what our entrepreneurship program is amazing at doing is giving you that network. The reason why we’re still in Tucson is because of Eller.” As for the future, the co-founders said they are interested in making JusTouch a nationwide company, and would like to expand it to other areas that use menus outside of the restaurant industry. “This is going to be a national business,” Banayan said. “This is something that any restaurant can benefit from. There’s not much that’s going to be stopping us.”

Those caught drinking under the age of 21 may incur sanction fees, court fines, class fees, community service hours, legal fees, and (if evicted from a UA residence hall) the loss of any rent paid. If you live on campus and are cited for underage drinking, you will be referred to the Dean of Students, located in Old Main. If you live off campus, and are cited by the Tucson Police Department or Pima County Sheriff, plan on a trip or two to the Tucson or Pima County Justice Courts. The Dean of Students will impose a $100 sanction and may refer you to their four hour “Personal Responsibility” Class ($80) or a six hour SHADE alcohol education class at the Campus Health Service ($100). Off campus, these classes may cost $140 or more and last eightsixteen hours. The fine for an MIP is $291, according to the Pima Justice Court. The fine for disorderly conduct or unreasonable noise is also $291. If you live off campus (within the Tucson City limits) and happen to be “redtagged,” you (and your landlord, if applicable) will be fined $500 each. If you live in the residence halls, one MIP will put you on “deferred eviction” status. After a second MIP, Residence Life will probably evict you from your hall. Rent that you or your parents paid is non-refundable. One semester of rent at La Paz costs between $4,000-6,000. Navigating an MIP can take a lot of time: meeting with the Dean of Students or a judge in the courts, “diversion” class time, travel time, and completing 15 or more hours of mandated community service. If you aren’t “legal” yet, it might be worth checking your bank account and your calendar to see if it is worth the potential costs.

Quiñones-Hinojosa described the image of a pulsating brain as a “beautiful dance … with the heart.” It was his interest in human behavior, however, that got him into the field of neuroscience, saying that he “always wondered why people are the way they are despite having brains that are essentially the same, but the people themselves are so different.” For him, the brain is “the most enigmatic and most beautiful organ of the body.” In addition to working as a researcher and neurosurgeon, Quiñones-Hinojosa has recently written an autobiography, “Becoming Dr. Q,” which tells more about his life and how he went from a migrant worker to a neurosurgeon. While many regard Quiñones-Hinojosa as inspirational, he is also regarded as one of the best in his field. He leads a team of 23 brain surgeons and 26 residents in both treating and operating on brain cancer patients in addition to conducting research in ways to prevent the spreading of cancerous cells in the brain after surgery. The spread of these cells is called migration, and is one of the reasons the mortality rate for brain cancer is so high, particularly for glioblastoma multiforme. This type of

Annual Love Your Body Day events promote awareness of health issues By Samantha Munsey Daily Wildcat
Campus Health Service is asking students to “love their bodies” on Tuesday and Wednesday with events on campus dedicated to promoting a healthy body image. The UA’s Love Your Body Day, developed by Campus Health’s Counseling and Psych Services, is in correlation with National Eating Disorder Awareness Week that began on Sunday. This year, Love Your Body Day has been divided into two days where students can participate in a body image screening on Tuesday and watch the movie “America The Beautiful 2: The Thin Commandments” with one of the film’s collaborators on Wednesday. “We are really excited about the events and really want to use this time to raise awareness (about) a topic some avoid to get into,” said Laura Orlich, a mental health clinician for CAPS. “A lot of people might see eating disorders as something to be shameful of and we need to let students know you can talk about it.” Body image screening tents will be set up all around campus today, including places like Campus Health, the UA Mall, the UofA Bookstore and the Student Recreation Center, which is a new location for the screenings this year. At the screenings, volunteers will hand out forms provided by the organization Screening For Mental Health containing questions regarding a person’s eating habits, body image and mental wellness. The screening on average takes about three minutes to complete and students who participate will be entered in a raffle for a chance to win a Chipotle burrito party for 10 people.

“We have seen great success in the number of participants who take the survey because of raffling prizes,” said Gale Welter, a nutrition counselor for Campus Health, who said about 200 students took the survey last year. This is an increase from the 100 surveys filed in 2010.

should be funding. “It (the application) seemed to be focused on expanding this to a marketable product basically making us pay for product development,” said Robert Jacobi, an aerospace engineering graduate student. After the board amended the request to ensure that the funds are only used to maintain and improve the website by adding scholarships and not on marketing to other universities, Scholarship Universe was allocated only a portion of the funds requested. Like Project RUSH, other programs requested two or three years of funding but were only granted one year. These decisions were made not only to maintain flexibility in future funding but also because the programs were fairly new and had no guarantee of success.
“We’re also doing better intercepting students on the run to take the survey because it only takes a few minutes.” The screenings conducted are anonymous and all forms filled out will be sent to the National Practitioner Data Bank, where
results will be compiled with other colleges in the country. This year 422 schools will be participating, and this is the fifth year the UA has been involved. “We really use this as a tool to see the trends going on in the country,” Orlich said. “It helps us see how things might be changing or what we need to focus on.” In addition to screenings, CAPS will provide the tents with information on services they provide, as well as handouts students can take about body image and eating disorders. “Love Your Body Day brings out a difficult topic in a way where people can feel normal talking about disturbed eating and disturbed body image,” Orlich said. “We want to make sure students get the information, because that is what we are here to do.” On Wednesday, students will get the chance to meet wellness advocate and author Carolyn Costin during a film screening. She collaborated with director Darryl Roberts, the writer, producer and director of “America the Beautiful 2,” a film that examines America’s obsession with beauty. Costin, who has also a recovered from an eating disorder herself, will be having a question and answer session about the film and her own personal experiences on the topic of eating disorders and body image at the end of the movie. “Whenever you talk about eating disorders anywhere, people know her and her work,” Welter said. “We are very happy to have her stop by and talk about what she does.” The screening will be held at the Gallagher Theater on Wednesday at 6 p.m. The event is free to the public. Attendees will receive a coupon for a free Chipotle burrito.
“Each application is really different and some of them are super easy to assess quantitatively … and then others … it’s just really hard in the nature of how it’s written and what the program is trying to do,” said Leo Yamaguchi, a senior studying physiology and nutrition. A service initiative project proposed by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona was denied due to “limited funds,” board members said. Also denied was a request for $127,500 to go toward a program that would prepare students for internships. The board is made up of seven undergraduate students and four graduate students. Four of these students go through an interview process to join the board and are representatives at large. The board will hold a second meeting on Friday to finish allocating student fee funds. will ferguson / Daily Wildcat “We want to make sure we do the … best job using student money because they can’t be here for whatever Members of the Student Services Fee Advisory Board consider funding proposals from campus organizations during their meeting on Monday.

editorial Pass/Fail Mo’ money, mo’ problems What constitutes a tuition increase? Well, it’s becoming increasingly clear that it depends on whom you ask. UA officials, including President Eugene Sander, have been championing a $0 tuition increase for continuing, resident undergraduate students next year. While that is a worthy goal, and a welcome reprieve from years of unmitigated priceof-attendance increases, the UA is not telling the whole story. After the tuition “rebate” from the Arizona Board of Regents expires next year, every resident undergraduate student will effectively lose $750 in financial aid. So, yes, while the tuition rate is not going up, the rate at which students have to pay that tuition is. $750 is a lot of cheddar any way you slice it, and for the UA to not be forthcoming about this upcoming charge makes its assessment of the situation incomplete at best, and downright disingenuous at worst. This is not to say that it isn’t admirable that the UA is doing as much as it can to try and stymie skyrocketing surcharges for students, far from it. For an overly rosy outlook that masks an increasingly bleak one, the UA and its tuition proposal both get a fail.

Cyberbully case faces setback A New Jersey Superior Court judge on Monday ruled that part of the online room change request made by a student before committing suicide had to be redacted. Tyler Clementi, the 18-year-old Rutgers University student who killed himself in September 2010, requested a room change after he said he found out his roommate had set up a webcam to spy on him. He jumped off a bridge the next day. Dharun Ravi, his roommate at the time, has been charged with bias intimidation, invasion of privacy and hindering arrest. The prosecution wanted to use Clementi’s request, which states “roommate used webcam to spy on me/want a single room.” The judge decided to omit the sentence about the webcam because he said he considers it hearsay. Just telling the jurors that he wanted a room change and not the reason why is ludicrous in this case. Clearly Clementi knew about the webcam and it was the last thing he submitted to the school before committing suicide. For redacting evidence and censoring the victim, the judge gets a fail.

Internet privacy proponents are feeling lucky Google Chrome will join a number of other browsers in adding a “do-not-track” button. The purpose of this button is to allow users to opt out of sharing their information and to have more control over their personal data. However, there are loopholes. According to Consumer Reports, even if you’ve activated the “do-not-track” button, if you are signed into your Google account in the Chrome browser, your information will still be used for targeted ads. Also, Facebook will still be able to track what users “like” or share. While this is a step in the right direction for Internet companies, Google needs to commit to protecting the privacy of its users — especially those who have indicated they want more of it. For giving users more control over their privacy, but not full control, Google gets an incomplete.

“UC should be allowed to consider race in admissions process” The future of affirmative action in the college admissions process is hanging by a thread in the U.S. Supreme Court. On Tuesday, the Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal by a white student who claims her rejection from the University of Texas was because of an attempt by the school to increase racial diversity. Affirmative action was struck down in California with the passage of Proposition 209 in 1996, which as of last week is being challenged by a group of 46 minority University of California students in a San Francisco appellate court. Factors of race, socioeconomic advantage and educational background are still closely related in present-day society. Modern poverty rates for black and Hispanic Americans are still well over twice that of whites. Proposition 209, which was hailed as a piece of equal rights legislation by its proponents, prohibits colleges from using race as a bonus in the admissions process. The results, especially at UCLA and UC Berkeley, have been considerable, with the universities’ black and Latino populations decreasing by about half in the few years following the decision. Proposition 209 should be repealed, allowing the UC to include race in its admissions process, just as it considers students’ other non-academic and often arbitrary qualities. — Mary Clark, Feb. 23 issue
In 2009, the American College Health Association reported that 40.6 percent of USC students have tried marijuana. Medicinal marijuana has been legal in California since 1996. Marijuana is a California governmentapproved medicine, but it is illegal to take any measures toward safeguarding patients who use it. To make up for this conundrum, thousands of private entrepreneurs have sprouted up, offering to test for THC levels. The vast majority of these entrepreneurs have little scientific background. But the legitimate scientists among them are risking their reputations and careers to provide a safe system of testing to those who need it. Three major labs — one located in Los Angeles — have grown in prominence and created the Association of California Cannabis Laboratories in an attempt to make the process more credible. But the labs need to be run in secret, lest the DEA shuts them down. Legislators need to understand that they are endorsing marijuana as a viable medical product while crippling its use with their restrictive measures. Legalization will allow well-run labs to stay running and prevent less-than-legitimate testers from running amok. It’s painfuly obvious that this law is illogical. Legislators are the only ones who can fix it. — Daniel Grzywacz, Feb. 14 issue
Daily Emerald University of Oregon “Similarities exist at University between the ’70s and the 2010s” Is it just me, or does the University seem a little bit stuck in the ’70s? Think about three of the things the regular American would most associate with our fine institution: Nike, Steve Prefontaine and “Animal House.” All from the 1970s. Then there are the hippies. And the weed. And the obsession with that hipster favorite, PBR. Very Vietnam-era-esque, wouldn’t you say? My mom said her first thought when she moved to Eugene from Colorado back in the ’80s was, “Wow! Hippies still exist!” And so they do, keeping the tie-dye fresh and the dreadlocks in style well past their expiration date. In the ’70s, there was Vietnam, Watergate, turmoil in the ASUO and Bruce Springsteen. In the 2000s, we had Iraq, economic meltdown, turmoil in the ASUO/OSPIRG and Bruce Springsteen. Seriously, the guy is amazing. What I’m saying is, we’re seeing a revolution of sorts these last few years at the University. We are (or, more truthfully, Nike is) crafting this new image of the forward-thinking, fresh, fierce University and attempting to leave behind the image of the past. The 2010s are the new 1970s at the University of Oregon. Let’s just hope we’re not stuck with this version for the next forty years. — McKenna Brown, Feb. 23 issue

There is a growing trend of young adults abusing these drugs, according to the 2011 American College Health Association National College Health Assessment. The report shows 14.6 percent of surveyed students reported illegally using prescription drugs in the last year, compared to 13.5 percent in 2008. If students are starting this habit this early, then their future health might be further jeopardized by their past use. Some people truly need prescription painkillers, but the effect of long-term use is a big unknown, and the more people take them, the greater the potential for abuse. The federal government should require more research on long-term effects of prescription painkillers before allowing them to be sold. And doctors should stop prescribing these drugs if they’re only concerned with lining their pockets with the profit. — Lauren Shores is a journalism sophomore.

POLICE BEAT By Elliot P. Hopper DAILY WILDCAT
The University of Arizona Police Department has not updated its record books. So, here are some of our best Police Beat entries of the semester so far: Unmusical chairs (Jan. 30)
University of Arizona Police Department officers went to the Park Student Union on Tuesday afternoon after a female employee reported that a student had thrown a chair at her. The employee had approached the student and asked if the student was OK because he was not wearing pants. In response, he stood up and yelled profanities. The employee said she felt scared and threatened, so she started to run away to call the police. When the student realized that the employee was calling the police, he decided to throw a chair at her, nearly hitting her. The student stormed out of PSU, but police eventually caught up with him. When the responding officer asked him to stop, the student yelled profanities back and continued to walk. The officer then signaled for backup. Officers with Tasers eventually surrounded the student, and arrested him on the ground. The student did not respond to any questions. Officers read him his rights and sent him to Pima County Jail, where he was booked for disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace. The employee said she wanted to file charges against him.
Come at me, bro (Jan. 31)
A Tucson resident was at the UofA Bookstore with his family on Thursday at 1:45 p.m. His wife and children were standing in line downstairs when the man decided to step out of line and browse the rest of the store. Upon coming back he saw his wife speaking with a customer service representative, so he decided to approach them and see what they were talking about. Right after the husband walked up, a male college student said to him, “Hey you’re cutting the line!” The husband responded that he was already in line, and that he was simply standing with his wife. The student repeated his argument again, this time six inches from the husband’s face. The husband said that the student had a “threatening look in his eyes.” The husband then grabbed the student by the shirt and threw him nine feet back, saying he feared that his wife and children were at risk. The student instantly stood up, prepared to punch the husband. Bookstore employees rushed over to the scene before the two had the opportunity to hurt each other. Police arrived at the bookstore minutes later and contained the two men. They reviewed the security tapes and decided that the student was at fault for showing physical aggression. The student was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
One roommate does a line, the other draws the line (Feb. 16)
UAPD responded to a call made by a female student reporting that her roommate was using cocaine in their dorm room in Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall at 6:30 p.m. on Monday. The student said she was in her room speaking to her father on the phone when her roommate walked into the room and asked if she could close the door and lock it. The roommate said, “I don’t mind.” The suspect locked the door and sat at her desk. The roommate watched as she pulled out a small bag containing a “white powdery substance,” which she then poured out onto the desk. She then grabbed a $20 bill and her CatCard and attempted to flatten the cocaine and separate it into two lines. She grabbed a straw and snorted the powder. The roommate asked her, “What is that, and should you be doing that with your Crohn’s disease?” The suspect responded that it was cocaine. As the suspect put the powder into her mouth, she asked her roommate, “Do you want some? It makes your mouth feel good.” The roommate declined, and was mostly speechless, but at one point said, “Oh shit, dude.” The roommate then continued to consume what was left of the cocaine. Her roommate then stood up, grabbed her bag and left for class. At that point, the roommate called UAPD. When officers arrived, they spoke to the suspect and asked her if she knew what this was all about and she told them yes. She admitted to snorting and rubbing cocaine on her lips. She said she received all of her illegal drugs from someone else. Her room was searched for further items where they also found a Hello Kitty pipe. She was arrested and taken to Pima County Jail. The other roommate was transferred to another room for the night to ensure her safety. Police Beat is compiled from official University of Arizona Police Department reports. A complete list of UAPD activity can be found at www.uapd.arizona.edu.

“Mapping Arizona: From Mexican Territory to U.S. State” (exhibit) This is new exhibit on display in the UA Main Library from Jan. 6 – March 28, 2012, details the path Arizona took to become a state – first as part of the Territory of New Mexico, then as the Territory of Arizona, finally attaining statehood in 1912. In addition to an array of historical maps, “Mapping Arizona” also includes books and unique documents selected from Special Collections extensive holdings. These additional materials offer insight into the stories that accompany the lines, boundaries, and borders within the maps. UA Main Library, 1510 E. University Blvd. Ansel Adams: The View from Here Perhaps no photographer’s work has enjoyed such popularity as Ansel Adams’s awe-inspiring views of the natural world. His early trips to the Yosemite wilderness in the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s informed the stylistic approach that made him famous. These treks included not only the physical activities of hiking, camping, and mountain climbing, but also social, intellectual, cultural, and spiritual elements. With forty photographs and supporting documents from the Ansel Adams Archive, Ansel Adams: The View from Here explores the relationship between Adams’s magical photographs of the American landscape both its panoramic vistas and its intimate details - and how he came to understand the importance of his natural environment. Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm, Saturday & Sunday, 1pm – 4pm through March 4th at The Center for Creative Photography: 1030 North Olive Road.

Flipping the script Fogg can Commentary
Arizona’s recent success in close games can be traced to all-around improvement
play at the next level
By Alex Williams Daily Wildcat Basketball, like any sport, is a game of inches. Through 22 games this season, no one knew that better than the Arizona men’s basketball team. The Wildcats fell to 0-5 in games decided by six points or fewer after a two-point loss to Washington on Jan. 28 that also dropped the UA to 5-4 in Pac-12 Conference play. Those losses included a one-point defeat at Colorado that saw the UA shoot 3-of-20 from 3-point range and coming up two-points short against Oregon — a game in which Arizona stormed back to erase a 12-point halftime lead before Kyle Fogg’s potential gametying jumper went in and out at the buzzer. But the Wildcats have since won three straight games that have gone down to the wire — a streak that was jump-started by a four-point win at California on Feb. 2. Arizona (21-9, 12-5 Pac-12) went on to sweep the Bay Area road trip, handing California its first home loss since a triple-overtime thriller against the Wildcats a season ago and giving Stanford its first home loss of the conference season. “I know it would be very hard to look at us as we went to the Bay after we lost to Washington and say, ‘These guys really have their act together,’” head coach Sean Miller said. “Kevin (Parrom) got hurt, we lost a pivotal home game (to Washington), another close game, but it was at that moment that we found ourselves.” The Wildcats used that sweep as a springboard to launch themselves back into the NCAA Tournament discussion, winning seven of their last eight games. But Arizona didn’t flip some magical switch that suddenly allowed it to win close games. While the focus in those contests is usually given to a play late in the game — Fogg’s miss against the Ducks or Tony Wroten’s block of Josiah Turner to seal a Washington win — Miller said the Wildcats haven’t necessarily gotten better in clutch situations. Instead, he said, they’ve done a better job of taking care of business throughout the game’s entirety. “We don’t have a different approach,” Miller said. “I just think we’re better across the board and … in those close losses, it wasn’t the last play of the game that hurt us. It was how we played earlier. We’re just better throughout the game and it puts us in a

Kyle Fogg won’t be listed on any 2012 NBA mock drafts. The 6-foot-3, 188-pound senior guard also won’t have his name called by David Stern in New York City at the 2012 NBA draft.

Arizona is just a few plays from having been 14-3 or 15-2 in conference play and running away with the Pac-12 regular-season title, but Miller said things have a way of working themselves
out in the end. “Part of it is when you lose a couple of close ones, there’s so much you can point blame to, that ‘These guys can’t win close games,’” Miller said. “Well, now when you judge us, we’ve been in a number of close games and it has a funny way of evening out. We’ve won a number of close games in February maybe that we didn’t in January.”

Trio of Wildcats testing at NFL Combine Foles, Criner struggle in 40-yard dash while Wade preps for defensive drills By Zack Rosenblatt Daily Wildcat
Quarterback Nick Foles and receiver Juron Criner were arguably the most prolific pass-catch duo in the history of the Arizona football program. The question of whether or not their talents will translate to the NFL has yet to be answered. The 2012 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis began on Saturday, and Criner and Foles participated in drills on Sunday. Performance at the scouting combine goes a long way toward determining how high, if at all, a player will be drafted in the NFL. Prior to the combine, Foles was generally projected as the fourth-best quarterback by most scouting services, behind Stanford’s Andrew Luck, Baylor’s Robert Griffin III and Texas A&M’s Ryan Tannehill. After his performance on Sunday, his stock may be falling a bit. Foles recorded a time of 5.14 seconds in the 40-yard dash, which was the worst of the 14 quarterbacks participating at the combine. Foles isn’t necessarily known for his speed, so while that number is surprisingly slow, it might not have had as much of an impact on his stock as it might seem. By comparison, former Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett ran a 5.37 last year before the New England Patriots drafted him in the third round. The average for quarterbacks over the last four combines was 4.90. The Austin, Texas, native measured out at a height of 6-foot-5, making him the tallest signal caller behind Arizona State’s Brock Osweiler,

Baseball facing familiar foe with struggles from bullpen By Kyle Johnson Daily Wildcat
Amy Webb / Daily Wildcat
Arizona freshman pitcher Stephen Manthei delivers a pitch against North Dakota State. Manthei converted the save in his only opportunity so far this season.
In the first five games of No. 7 Arizona’s baseball season, one problem has made itself clear — bullpen pitching. As the players penciled into their positions at the start of the season struggle, head coach Andy Lopez is looking to his younger pitchers to fill the lacking roles. “Both (Mathew Troupe and Lucas Long) are kind of picking up the slack here with some of the juniors that struggled last week,” Lopez said. Troupe has yet to give up a run in his
two appearances and Long has already shown he can be counted upon for long relief after throwing five innings when he came in for long relief during a 12-6 win over Utah Valley. Long was awarded the win that game after giving up four hits and striking out six. Lopez said Troupe and Long are working toward earning a permanent spot in the bullpen’s rotation. The relievers haven’t been called upon too often so far this season since starters Kurt Heyer and Konner Wade have been solid, and starter James Farris threw a complete game in one of his two starts.
But as the second game of Arizona’s season showed, even a dominant start can be ruined by a poor bullpen performance. Wade gave up just two hits and had 13 strikeouts against North Dakota State before he was pulled for junior Vincent Littleman. Littleman only faced one batter — which he walked — but it was the start of a bullpen collapse. The four relievers combined to give up six runs in just two-thirds of an inning, turning the 2-2 game that Wade

Who will be better in the NFL?
T
ake away former Arizona wide receiver Juron Criner’s 40-yard dash time of 4.68 seconds, and the Las Vegas native has everything you want in an NFL receiver. He measures 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, and plays even bigger. Despite a slow 40 time, he’s shown breakaway speed in game situations — see 2009 against Oregon or last season at ASU. Criner’s vertical jump of 38 inches placed him ninth-best among receivers at this year’s combine. He also has skills that can’t be taught, like the exceptional body control to get his feet down in bounds or to shield a defender on a jump ball. While he’s not an electric playmaker, Criner has the moves to make people miss in the open field. He battled drops at times last year, but that’s the only time in his career questions have come up about his hands. If there’s a major knock on Criner, it’s that he hasn’t been

able to play through injuries. He’s battled turf toe in the past and missed time last season with a knee sprain. But if Criner can get over that mental hurdle accompanying his injuries — and an NFL-caliber training staff will help — he’ll be on the field more than ever. It’s typically underperforming athletic freaks — the opposite of Criner — that see their stock rise before the draft. But Criner has the performances on film to warrant a high draft pick; he just didn’t test as well as some had hoped. But after a senior season that saw him grab 75 passes for 956 yards and 11 touchdowns, Criner is a talent that will be hard to turn down come April. He’s shown flashes of brilliance throughout the last four years. If Criner can consistently put everything together, he’ll be a starting wideout in the NFL for the next several years. Nick Foles
S
tatistically, Nick Foles is one of, if not, the best quarterbacks Arizona has ever seen. In his senior season, he completed 69.1 percent of his passes on his way to 4,334 yards, 28 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Will he be able to replicate those numbers in the NFL? Probably not. But if he gets put in a system that fits his abilities, Foles can be a solid NFL quarterback. At 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds, Foles has the ideal size for a NFL quarterback. He may have run a mediocre 5.14 second 40-yard dash, but his game speed is a lot better than those numbers might indicate. He’s no Robert Griffin III, mind you, but Foles can move around the pocket when he needs to. Scouts question his deep passing accuracy, but in the right system, he can succeed in spite of that. In the NFL, there have been numerous cases of quarterbacks sitting
on the bench and biding their time while a more proven starter leads the team. If Foles gets drafted into a team that can afford to sit and develop him for a few years, he will be all the better for it. Matt Schaub is the perfect example of that. Schaub, who is the same height as Foles, wasn’t highly touted coming out of Virginia. He wasn’t fleet-footed, but he was still drafted in the third round by the Atlanta Falcons. Pre-prison Mike Vick was Atlanta’s quarterback at the time, so Schaub was able to sit and learn for three years, filling in occasionally when Vick was injured, until he was finally traded to Houston and got an opportunity to start. He has flourished ever since. If Foles gets the right opportunity and can sit and learn behind someone like Ben Roethlisberger or Drew Brees or even Vick, he will be a starting quarterback in the NFL, the best starting QB in the history of the UA and the best Arizona Wildcat in the 2012 draft class.

The race came down to two forwards — sophomore Andrew Murmes and senior Brady Lefferts. Murmes leads the team with 51 points but his linemate Lefferts is close behind with 49. Lefferts, an assistant captain, also had 25 goals on the season — five more than the Murmes, who was second in goals. However, the line itself, made up of Lefferts, Murmes and forward Blake Richards, was the most valuable aspect of the team. It might be too easy to just pick the entire line, but Richards, another senior, was third on the team with 30 points. The line was the constant offensive force all season, and it even provided five of the eight gamewinning goals on the season.

Afghan violence suggests hatred Mcclatchy tribune
WASHINGTON — As violence continued Monday in Afghanistan over the accidental burning of Qurans by U.S. troops last week, American military officials and analysts are beginning to question whether the U.S. needs to change its mission of training Afghan soldiers and police, a key plank of President Barack Obama’s withdrawal strategy. White House and Pentagon officials said publicly that they weren’t yet contemplating a major overhaul of the plan to build a force of more than 300,000 Afghan soldiers and police officers and hand over security of the country to it by 2014 or earlier. But privately, U.S. military officers in Washington and Kabul acknowledged that the scale of violence over the past week — four American soldiers were killed by their Afghan counterparts and seven were wounded — has worsened an already uneasy relationship between U.S. and Afghan forces. “I think the entire world shifted under our Afghan policy because of this, both in Kabul and in Washington,” said Douglas A. Ollivant, who served as a senior National Security Council official in the Obama and George W. Bush administrations. This incident, several officers told McClatchy Newspapers, has left U.S. troops saying that they can’t keep training Afghans who may try to kill them, a growing

A wounded Afghan receives medical treatments at a hospital in Nangarhar, east of Kabul on Monday. At least 10 people were killed and a dozen others injured Monday morning when a suicide car bomb went off near the gate of an airport in Jalalabad, the provincial capital of eastern Afghan province of Nangarhar, police said.
problem that plagued the mission even before coalition forces accidentally burned several copies of the Quran in a trash fire last week. Obama and other senior U.S. officials apologized for the incident, which triggered a week of protests and attacks in which about 40 people have died. “Afghans hate us, and we don’t trust them. We have never felt safe around them,” said a U.S. military
officer who works on Afghanistan policy, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue. So far this year, Afghan troops have killed at least 10 U.S. service members who were training them, including the four last week. Two weeks ago, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Afghan troops had killed 70 American
service members in 46 incidents since 2007; half of those had occurred since May 2009. The majority of those attacks were by Afghans who were frustrated with their trainers, not Taliban insurgents infiltrating bases, according to military officials. By comparison, over nearly nine years in Iraq, where the U.S. military presence was greater, Iraqi forces killed about half a dozen
American troops who were training them, the Pentagon said. The mistrust exists on both sides. Some Afghan soldiers and police officers have told investigators in previous incidents that American forces are rude, culturally insensitive or hostile to them. In the wake of the Quran burnings, Afghans said they couldn’t understand how U.S. soldiers could commit such acts more than a decade into the war. The training mission “will never succeed if they keep burning the Quran or disrespect our beliefs,” said Khan Agha, a police officer in the Sarobi district of Kabul, the capital. “They will not succeed in insulting our religion. But if they respect our holy book and our religion and focus only on training, then they can succeed.” Earlier on Monday, at least nine Afghans died in a suicide bombing at an air base that coalition forces use in Jalalabad, in eastern Afghanistan. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the bombing and said it was in retaliation for the Quran burnings. Hours later, U.S. officials said the attacks wouldn’t derail the training mission and that they thought the violence would abate. “I’d be less than honest if I didn’t say that things are tense here in Kabul. They certainly are,” said Navy Capt. John Kirby, a military spokesman in Kabul. “But I will tell you that it is getting calmer here.”
Record number of sea otter deaths recorded Mcclatchy tribune
LOS ANGELES — After being brought back from the brink of extinction, sea otters are again in peril, with an unprecedented number of deaths along the California coast in the last year. The U.S. Geological Survey reported that 335 dead, sick or injured otters were found in 2011, a record high. “We’re starting to see a perplexing trend suggesting increased shark attacks on sea otters,” said Tim Tinker of the USGS’ Western Ecological Research Center. Shark bites accounted for 15 percent of otter deaths in the late 1990s, but that percentage nearly doubled
in 2010 and 2011, Tinker said. Sharks have long received some of the blame for the otter’s mortality rate, but the population has also been thinned by infectious diseases, boat strikes and gunshot wounds, among other factors. “If these stressors remain high and shark mortality remains high, then there is no chance” for the population to regenerate, Tinker said. Sharks seem to favor breeding-age female otters, he said, which could deliver more of a blow to the sea mammals’ numbers. The last official population reported for the sea otter was 2,711, only 379 short of the threshold that would begin consideration for it being removed from the federal endangered species list.

Teenage gunman opens fire at Ohio high school, killing 1 Mcclatchy tribune
What began as a routine start of the school day, breakfast in the cafeteria and students shuffling to class, turned into a scene of chaos and tragedy Monday when a teenage gunman opened fire, killing one student and wounding four others at a suburban Ohio high school before he was arrested a half mile away. The shooting began about 7:30 a.m. EST at Chardon High School, about 30 miles outside Cleveland. Students told reporters that the gunman appeared to targeting specific classmates when he walked into the cafeteria and
began firing a handgun. Victims were found in at least three locations, police said. Authorities did not identify the shooter because he is a juvenile and were investigating the motive. Loud pops rang through the cafeteria and hallways and sent students scurrying for safety. Teachers responded heroically. One reportedly grabbed a wounded student and pulled him to safety while others barricaded their rooms. Another finally forced the gunman to leave the building, officials said. “Everybody just started
running,” Megan Hennessy, 17, told The Associated Press. Hennessy said she was in class when she heard the noises. “Everyone was running and screaming down the hallway.” The building had no metal detector, but Geauga County Sheriff Dan McClelland said police and school officials had many drills. It turned out to be “practice, if you would, for (an) event just like today.” Police responded after the first shots, Chardon Police Chief Tim McKenna told reporters at a televised news conference. Students reached for their cellphones and texted nervous parents who
gathered outside to pick up their children. Five students were taken to two local hospitals. Two students were listed in critical condition, one was in serious condition and one was stable at the other hospital. McKenna identified the dead student as Daniel Parmertor. “We are shocked by this senseless tragedy,” Parmertor’s family said in a prepared statement distributed to reporters. “Danny was a bright young boy who had a bright future ahead of him. The family is torn by this loss. We ask that you respect our privacy during this difficult time.”
Tyler Clementi requested room change Mcclatchy tribune
NEW YORK — The trial of a former Rutgers University student facing hate charges for allegedly spying on his gay roommmate — Tyler Clementi, who later committed suicide — resumes Monday in New Jersey with testimony expected from the Rutgers housing staffer who handled Clementi’s request for a room change. Prosecutors are trying to prove that the defendant, Dharun Ravi, was driven by anti-gay bias and trying to bully Clementi when he put a webcam on his computer and captured live images of Clementi in their room with another man. When the high-profile trial opened last week, however, some of Ravi’s former classmates testified that he did not make homophobic comments and never indicated that he disapproved
of Clementi’s lifestyle. Clementi was 18 when he threw himself from the George Washington Bridge in September 2010, shortly after the webcam incident. Ravi is not charged in his death, but he faces several other charges, including two hate-related counts of bias intimidation. They are the most serious of the charges, and each brings a possible 10-year prison term. Some witnesses testified last week that Ravi’s goal in turning on the webcam after Clementi asked to have the room to himself for a few hours was not to collect embarrassing video, but to keep an eye on his belongings because a strange man — Clementi’s date — was in the room. “He was older, maybe not a Rutgers student,” one witness, Alvin Artha, who lived in the same dorm as Ravi and Clementi, told assistant
prosecutor Julia McClure, the Newark StarLedger reported. Artha added that he left the room after Ravi and another Rutgers student, Molly Wei, invited him to watch the video he had captured of Clementi and the unidentified older man. Another Rutgers student, Cassandra Cicco, who was Wei’s roommate, said she was in Wei’s room as Ravi and Wei watched Clementi via the webcam and that neither the defendant nor Wei seemed agitated by what they saw. “It came up for a split second, it was a quick video, we saw two males leaning against the bed making out,” she said. “We were all just like, ‘Oh, OK, that happened,’ and that was the end of it,” she testified. Both Cicco and Artha told defense attorney
Steven Altman that Ravi had told them he had no problem with gays or with his roommate being gay. But Scott Xu told prosecutors that Ravi had planned to set up the webcam again later in the week after learning that Clementi had another date — testimony that bolsters prosecution claims that Ravi was intent on bullying Clementi because of his sexual orientation. “He was telling people how he set up his webcam to view Tyler’s actions that night,” Xu said before the trial broke for the weekend. Clementi turned the webcam off after learning of the first incident. He had requested a room change, a request pending when he killed himself. Wei is expected to be the star witness. She originally was charged in the case but avoided prosecution in exchange for testifying.

to the next level, and no attribute gives him more of a shot at the league than his defense. “He deserves to be on any alldefensive team that’s voted on,” UA head coach Sean Miller said after Fogg held UCLA’s Lazeric Jones to 1-for-12 shooting against UCLA on Saturday. That’s not a bias — not Miller speaking about his beloved senior who has meant so much in his limited 2011-12 squad. It’s the honest truth. Fogg’s done a number on some of the better guards in the country this season. He held Florida’s Kenny Boynton, who averages 17.3 points per game, to nine points on 2-for-11 shooting. He limited Cal’s Allen Crabbe, a 44.1 percent shooter on the season, to 4-for-12 shooting in Berkeley for a season-changing victory. Fogg helped play a part in limiting

Criner’s 40-yard dash leaves much to be desired
For Criner, Arizona’s all-time leader in touchdown catches, the combine was probably even more important for his stock. Entering the combine, NFL.com’s Gil Brandt had Criner ranked the No. 96 overall prospect (Foles was No. 77). With wide receivers, the 40-yard dash can make or break a prospect’s draft stock. If that’s the case, then Criner might

likely Pac-12 Player of the Year Tony Wroten to 13-for-40 shooting in two games this season, while holding Colorado’s Carlon Brown to 5-for-12 shooting in their last meeting. “He’s somebody who I think can guard some of the best guards in the game,” Miller said. He may be undersized at the two-guard position, but his freakish 6-foot-10 wingspan will allow him to guard point guards, shooting guards and sometimes even small forwards at the next level. That ability and defensive versatility is invaluable in the NBA. Just look at the Memphis Grizzlies’ Tony Allen. He’s not much bigger than Fogg at 6-foot-4, 213 pounds, and can’t play a lick of offense, but starts for a potential playoff team because of his defensive prowess. Fogg’s length, lateral quickness, understanding of angles and relentlessness on the defensive end is everything coaches look for in a perimeter defensive stopper. But defense isn’t all Fogg has to bring to the table. He’s
worked himself into one of the conference’s best 3-point shooters, knocking down the deep ball at a 44.2 percent clip. He has NBA range and can shoot the three off the catch and sometimes off the dribble. His offensive game as a whole has come full circle as of late, as he’s averaging 15.9 points per contest over his last 10 games. Fogg’s also developed into one of the better rebounding guards in the Pac-12, hauling in 40 boards over his last four games. But what makes Fogg’s NBA chances a reality is beyond the hardwood. The UA’s senior is respectable with a relentless work ethic, suggesting the basketball world hasn’t seen the best of Kyle Fogg. He’s represented Arizona basketball in a first-class manner while putting in endless hours in the gym, proven by his continual growth and the 40,000 shots he hoisted this past summer. “He’s as high of a character kid as
I’ve ever been around,” Miller said. “He’s an eager player to learn and improve. That’s what makes him such a special player ... he’s invested a lot of himself. When you look at what he did just this summer alone, I haven’t been around many kids that gave as much of themselves as he did.” Fogg will once again get overlooked come draft day, as that’s what he said “has been the case my whole career.” But players who defend, can knock down the open shot, play smart basketball and have a willingness to improve and compete have a spot in the NBA. As was the case at Arizona, his journey may not be easy, but Fogg will sport the NBA logo on his jersey at some point. And he has no one to thank but himself.
be in a little bit of trouble, after his official time was recorded as 4.68. By comparison, Stanford’s Chris Owusu, Georgia Tech’s Stephen Hill and Miami’s Travis Benjamin led all receivers at 4.36. In other drills, Criner helped himself out a bit though, as he tied to record the ninth-best vertical jump for a wide receiver (out of 47 participants) at 38 inches. In the bench press, he put up 17 reps of 225 pounds, which tied for the sixth-best total. Criner also had the largest hands of any receiver at the combine, measuring 10.5 inches. Draft analyst Wes Bunting of NationalFootballPost.com wrote: “I still have questions about Arizona WR Juron Criner and his ability to quickly separate at the next level consistently out of his breaks. He ran in the 4.6 range Sunday and just isn’t
a real dynamic self-starter. He looked coordinated during positional drills however. But, I still see him more as a reserve only in the NFL.”
season improved his stock to the point that he was considered talented enough by the NFL to be invited to the combine. Wade said that he expects to run the 40-yard dash in the 4.50 range. “I just want to go out there and run, and show that I can run with anybody,” Wade said. In his senior season, Wade recorded 52 tackles, two interceptions and 13 pass deflections. He was named an All-Pac-12 second team selection for his performance. In CBS Sports NFL Draft rankings, Wade is ranked the No. 30 cornerback and No. 231 overall. Foles, Criner and Wade, along with other Arizona players with NFL aspirations, will have the opportunity to improve upon their initial testing and impress scouts when the UA holds its Pro Day on March 19.
And while the juniors haven’t consistently struggled — reliever Stephen Manthei has the Wildcats’ lone save on the season — the upperclassmen haven’t exactly inspired confidence. Manthei had been pegged as the closer to start the season, and in his one opportunity, he gave up one hit in two scoreless innings for a 3-1 win over North Dakota State.
Wade ready to participate in drills
Cornerback Trevin Wade is the third, and last, former Wildcat invited to the combine. Defensive backs will participate in combine workouts on Tuesday. Wade said that he is “ready to go.” “(Preparations) are going great,” Wade said. “They got me down here at the hotel and make sure I am on a nutrition diet, make sure I’m getting stretched and just being calm for my event.” Compared to Criner and Foles, Wade isn’t nearly as valued by draft prognosticators, but a stellar senior
But Manthei hasn’t pitched to that level since. He was part of the 8-2 defeat, giving up two hits and two earned runs without recording an out. And in the Wildcats’ last game — an 8-3 loss to Auburn — Manthei gave up two earned runs and hit a batter in just one inning. “Manthei had a very, very poor performance,” Lopez said after Saturday’s game.

Another player who Lopez said played below expectations on Saturday was junior Nick Cunningham, who has given up four earned runs in his two appearances on the season. This is just the beginning of the season, though. Manthei’s 12.00 ERA and Cunningham’s 18.00 ERA will surely go down as the season continues, but if Arizona wants to
Fogg named Pac-12 Player of the Week After averaging 18 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in a sweep of the Southern California schools, Arizona guard Kyle Fogg was named the Bank of the West Pac-12 men’s basketball Player of the Week for the second time this season. Fogg shot 43.5 percent from the field over the weekend and 40 percent from 3-point range. The 6-foot-3 guard from Brea, Calif., also held UCLA guard and leading scorer Lazeric Jones to two points on 1-of-12 shooting on Saturday. Fogg grabbed a career-high 12 rebounds against USC on Thursday and scored a game-high 20 points and nine rebounds against UCLA. Sixteen of Fogg’s 20 points against the Bruins came in the game’s final 9:57. This is the fourth time this season an Arizona player has earned conference player-ofthe-week honors — Fogg on Feb. 6 and junior forward Solomon Hill on Dec. 5 and 26 — and the 84th such recognition for Arizona. — Alex Williams

win the Pac-12 title and surpass teams like No. 4 Stanford, they’ll need someone to step up in the bullpen — and so far the only ones to do so are the freshmen. “We have got to get those guys in as much as we can so they can get ready for Pac-12 play,” Heyer said. “Every inning that they get, they’re getting a little more experience.”

Information and immortality have always been related by the stories that survive us. Information technology provides new ways to create stories and memories, as well as robotic elder care and the likelihood that in future, we will have biological and computational parts and friends, all maintained by corporations and governments. The relationship between information and immortality is becoming more complicated than ever.
