knowledge as the main reason. “The first time I met him, which was after he declared (his candidacy), I was just impressed with his breadth of knowledge,” Lundstrom said. “He knew more about every single subject that I’ve ever heard.” Lundstrom added that Barber’s level of kindness is also an important trait for a candidate to have. Jill Ekegren, a Tucson resident for the last 10 years and a former volunteer for Giffords’ campaigns, said she wanted to show her support for Giffords by voting for Barber. “He won’t duplicate her in any fashion, but he will carry through with Gabby’s vision toward providing a better southern

The Arizona Board of Regents will meet on Thursday and Friday to discuss issues concerning the Arizona university system. The meeting will take place at the High Country Conference Center at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, where the board will hear presentations and proposals from its various committees. One of the proposals under consideration is a performance-based funding model, which would take into account graduation rates, successful credit hours and research. The adoption of the model was mandated by the Arizona Legislature. Detailed information on the proposal being presented to the board was not available as of press time. Former UA Provost Meredith Hay left the university before the start of the 20112012 academic year and assumed the position as special adviser to the ABOR chair for strategic initiatives. Her position aids in the design of the model. The board will also discuss and vote on proposals involving the budget and university spending, including the capital development plans of each of the three schools. The UA is expected to ask for $220.9 million, ASU will ask for $64 million and NAU will ask for $100.4 million. Also scheduled for Thursday are reports from the Business and Finance Committee, the Enterprise Executive Committee, the Financial Aid Task Force, the Academic Affairs Committee and the Intercollegiate Athletics Task Force.

Democrat Ron Barber makes a speech after winning the CD 8 election on Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Congratulating the new Representative is former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband Mark Kelly.

By Kyle Mittan and Stephanie Casanova Arizona Summer Wildcat

Democratic candidate Ron Barber announced his win in the election for the Congressional District 8 representative against Republican Jesse Kelly in a ballroom of the University Marriott on Tuesday evening. Barber, who was met with cheers from a crowd of supporters, took the stage with a group of family and friends, including Gabrielle Giffords, the representative he had been an aide for before she announced her resignation from the seat in January. “A year ago, I never thought I’d be standing here, thanking you for your support and your work in electing Congress,” Barber said. “But as you know, life takes unexpected turns, and here we are.”

Barber continued to say that while he never predicted that he would run for Congress, taking the seat “made sense,” having always been a citizen of southern Arizona. The candidate kept the speech brief, ending with a round of thanks to his friends, family, colleagues and supporters across Tucson who continued to affirm their endorsements. “I just think Ron Barber has so much potential to make good changes,” said Lisa Marks, a spring 2012 UA graduate of special education and rehabilitation. “I think Jesse Kelly is so close-minded and completely backward.” Erik Lundstrom, the president of the Young Democrats of Arizona and a political science senior at the UA, also voiced his support for Barber, citing his extensive

Arizona,” Ekegren said. Candidates from other districts also showed up to support Barber as a potential team member in Washington, including Congressional District 3 Democratic Candidate Manny Arreguin, who will run against Raúl Grijalva in August. “Tucson is a strong Democratic town, and I’m hoping that we send the right message in sending people who are going to be moderates to Washington D.C.,” Arreguin said.

Meanwhile …

Jesse Kelly’s supporters, voters and endorsers chatted and waited for election updates at Rosario’s restaurant in the Viscount Suite Hotel Tuesday night. Voters said they were hopeful, some even confident, that Kelly would win the Congressional District 8 special election. “I think everybody here knows that Jesse won, we’re just waiting to hear the final results,” said Barney P. Popkin, minutes before Kelly’s announcement of the results. At around 9:40 p.m., Kelly walked to the podium to announce that the statistics were on Barber’s side. “I wouldn’t have done a thing different,” he said. “Obviously, perfection is something that escapes us all and definitely me. We came into this race with a plan, we executed the plan we wanted. But the voters of southern Arizona chose something different and that’s fine. We are blessed by God to live in a country where the voters get exactly what they want. And so they’ve spoken here and we respect that.” Kelly kept his speech short and answered few questions from the press, hoping to go home and get some sleep, he said. When asked about whether he’d run in the August primary, Kelly responded, “Most likely, but we’re not going to announce any official plans until tomorrow.” Kelly was also asked if his loss in this election would make the Republican victory in November more difficult. “You know, I left my crystal ball in my truck,” Kelly responded jokingly as the

crowd laughed. “I just don’t know, I don’t know.” Believing that Kelly is what southern Arizona needed in order to move forward, supporters and Republican voters said they were disappointed when they heard of Barber’s victory. Gabriela Saucedo Mercer, who will be running in the August primary against Raúl Grijalva, said Congressional District 8 had an “eight percent advantage of registered Republicans.” “Obviously the Republicans, they let us down,” Saucedo Mercer said in reference to other Republican candidates who had lost to Kelly in the primary. “He won the primary against three other good candidates so it’s a shame that … sore losers just cannot come around and support him a hundred percent.”

The board will reconvene on Friday by hearing from the Arizona Faculties Council and and is also expected to use a consent agenda. The consent agenda will vote to extend men’s head basketball coach Sean Miller’s contract and make athletic director Greg Byrne the vice president of athletics. The main board meeting is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. Thursday and is expected to end at 11:30 a.m. on Friday.

Barber may now have his name on the position, but he’s made it clear that it’s not his at all. “This is not my position, this is the people’s position, and I really mean that,” he during a brief interview. “What we’re sent to do is to serve because we’ve been hired by the people of southern Arizona … You’ve got to make sure that you’re truly a representative of the people, and that’s what I intend to do.”

Two-party democracy Feds decline access outshines small party to repair Tombstone factions in political system, limits voters broken water pipes Tyler Johnson ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

ome November, I will most likely vote for Barack Obama for president. I do not particularly want to do this, but the reality in this country is that you often choose between the lesser of two evils. This time around, it’s Obama or Mitt Romney. Obama continues to have ideas with potential that are stopped dead in their tracks by a stingy Republican Congress. Romney on the other hand, has ideas that I believe will bring the United States even closer to financial ruin. This is the country we live in. However, our country does not have to be like this. You may have never heard their names, but there are other people running for president. One of these candidates is former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, Libertarian party nominee. Johnson’s website represents the core ideas behind his campaign. The front page shows the former governor standing confidently behind the slogan: “Liberty needs all of U.S.” The website also contains a reason to support Johnson, stating “You’re a Libertarian, too. I’ll prove it to you.” Simply put, Gary Johnson knows he has your support … he’s just waiting for you to realize it. Johnson runs on a platform of ideas that many people, particularly young voters, might agree with. In his appearance on “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart,” Johnson outlined a plan to end our engagement in the Middle

East, curb irresponsible federal spending in order to balance the budget and end the war on drugs. That’s right, if you’re into marijuana legalization, Johnson is your man. And if you’re into lower taxes, less federal government in your life or the repeal of the Patriot Act, Gary Johnson is still your man. Unfortunately, it is highly unlikely Johnson will be our next president. According to his blog, he is currently polling around 6 to 12 percent in each of the 50 states. In order for Johnson to be given a spot on the debate stage, he must poll at 15 percent nationally. This is the core problem with our system. It is likely that more than 15 percent of Americans want to see Johnson on that stage, but because of the current system we see a vote for anyone other than the Democrat or Republican candidate as a vote for someone incapable of winning, and therefore wasted. But that can change. If we allow more candidates onto the national stage, we give legitimate parties a means to have their voices heard. If we do that, more people might realize their two current choices just aren’t cutting it. You don’t have to vote for Johnson in the presidential election. But if you are polled in the coming months and want more party variety, then tell them you’re something other than Democrat or Republican. Tell them you’re a Libertarian, a Green Party member or even a member of one of America’s four major Socialist parties. If we do that, there’s no telling who will be on the ballot in November. — Tyler Johnson is a journalism senior. He can be reached at letters@wildcat.arizona.edu or on Twitter via @WildcatOpinions.

ater is a precious commodity in southern Arizona. The blazing heat in the desert easily surpasses triple digit temperatures in the summer, making dehydration a serious threat to inhabitants. A steady supply of water is an unspoken priority and for most of us, quenching our thirst is usually just a matter of turning on the faucet. But if you live in the city of Tombstone, it’s a yearlong process of securing permits and fighting the federal government to access water. Last summer, the devastating Monument fire and a series of monsoon landslides crippled Tombstone’s 26-mile water pipeline. The small town of 1,500 resorted to using a reserve water tank that ran dry in August. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer declared the city in a state of emergency and released $50,000 in emergency funds to cover the pipeline’s repair costs. Tombstone repaired a few of its pipes but the U.S. Forest Service impeded its access and argued that any heavy equipment brought up on the mountain would violate the Wilderness Act of 1964. The city then engaged in a legal battle with the federal government to gain permission to repair its water system. Tombstone officials claim the city has a right to fix the pipes because it is currently forced to use well water containing trace amounts of arsenic, along with a small

amount of pipe water. The well water is dangerous to drink and doesn’t produce enough to put out a potential city fire, according to officials. By contrast, the federal government claims Tombstone’s crisis has been averted and its plea for help is an exaggerated scheme to upgrade — not fix — the water system. But even if the government is right, it’s hardly doing anything to improve the situation. Rather than negotiating with the city to find a solution to its water woes, the federal government has brushed aside the city’s qualms. Sure, it’s possible that city officials have overstated the immediate emergency and they simply want to upgrade the water system. The pipelines date back to the 1880s and 130 years of weathering wouldn’t bode well for anything. But simply pointing out a possible ploy doesn’t eliminate the fact that Tombstone’s emergency may very well indicate the need for the upgrade. In 2010, 40 firefighters, including some from Sierra Vista, Ariz., failed to extinguish a Tombstone fire before it burned down a restaurant. That was a year before the 2011 fire and monsoons damaged the pipeline. Whether “the town too tough to die” is seeking a pipeline upgrade or not, a fire is nonetheless a real danger. It makes little sense for Tombstone to have to fight so hard to gain access to safe water. The severity and immediacy of the situation may be exaggerated, but the federal government shouldn’t be an obstruction to solving the problems of the people. — Michael Carolin is a journalism and creative writing junior.

Researchers determine asteroid path, discuss the possibility of Earth collision By Isaac Cox ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

OSIRIS-REx mission researchers have been able to measure the Yarkovsky effect on target asteroid 1999 RQ36 so precisely that they know how far it will drift in its orbit over the coming years. The Yarkovsky effect occurs as thermal force from the sun radiates heat on objects. They absorb and reflect the radiation in return, and the resulting reaction acts as a tiny rocket thrust. Decades ago, it was unclear to researchers how near-Earth objects were formed. Most scientists agreed that there had to be some sort of interaction with the sun or Jupiter, due to their massive gravitational fields, that sent new asteroids into the inner solar system. “But you’d think that would have already been taken care of too because Jupiter’s been out there for billions of years,” said Ed Beshore, a deputy principal investigator of OSIRIS-REx . “So something must be pushing these asteroids probably from the asteroid belt, into what’s called a resonance zone. That means that every time they come by, Jupiter can tug on it, and actually throw this guy into the inner solar system.”

OSIRIX-REx Co-Investigator Steve Chesley of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Radar Astronomer Mike Nolan at Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico have performed a series of tests to measure the Yarkovsky effect. Their findings showed that the amount of force pushing on the 1999 RQ36 is about the weight of three grapes. This force, while extremely small, acts constantly on the object over the years and eventually alters the orbital pattern. “This tells us a lot about how hazardous objects are created and how they might change their orbit over time because of this effect, and that’s important for us to predict the long term history of some of these objects and what’s going to happen to them,” Beshore added. The Yarkovsky effect varies due to the target object’s thermal properties, such as the surface roughness, composition and size. Large objects, such as Earth, are safe from this kind of pushing, as it is a force that effects smaller matter. “We can plan its orbit based on the elements we receive on the ground, but the Yarkovsky effect changes that. So it might change its predicted location over time,” said Daniel Wibben, a graduate student employee of the Science Processing and Operations Center. “What we want to try

James E. Rogers grad wins space trip By Stephanie Casanova ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Very few people can say they’ve been to space, but Gregory Schneider will soon be able to add “astronaut” to his resume. While browsing the Internet to buy a telescope for his kids in late August 2011, Schneider, a recent James E. Rogers College of Law graduate, came across a banner promoting Space Race 2012, a contest in which the winner would go on a suborbital space flight. Seeing it as an opportunity to inspire his kids, Schneider entered the contest. “I entered the contest as a way to get my kids excited about space,” he said. “I wanted them to have some personal connection to space travel or space flight so that it would be more real and tangible to them.” Schneider accepted his prize as the first place winner on May 9, 2012 after a ninemonth application process that included a trip to Seattle, Wash., as one of five finalists. Though there is no set date, Schneider will travel 62 miles from Earth, experience zero gravity for about six minutes and “get to see the curvature of the Earth,” he said. The spaceflight, provided by a Virginia-based travel company called Space Adventures, is worth $110,000. “I was thrilled, a little overwhelmed,”

Schneider said. “There were all these different challenges. Each time I moved on to the next one I just, it almost felt like a surprise not because I didn’t think I could do it but because … I was really getting closer toward the stream of going to outer space.” Since childhood, Schneider was passionate about space and astrology. He began to re-kindle this passion when he was in law school, hoping to look at the planets and stars with his kids through a new telescope. Scheinder said he wants them to have a better understanding of how the solar system works and what the planets look like. Schneider, a father of three, was one of 1,000 chosen to submit a two-minute video explaining why he deserves to go to space. His video featured his 3-year-old son Jude and his 7-year-old daughter Emy building a rocket ship out of cardboard boxes and sheets and pretending to launch into space. Schneider explained that he would like to win a trip to space to inspire his kids and let them know that anything is possible. “They were very excited, when I won especially,” Schneider said. “It’s pretty cool to watch them be inspired and really interested in space flight, astronomy, more so now than ever before.” Once Schneider was informed that his video was one of the top 20 chosen to move on in the contest, he emailed as many

people as possible, including news and social media websites. A six-week voting period would determine the top five videos and send those contestants to Seattle for three days. Schneider’s video won first place after theChive.com, a photo entertainment website, shared his video. To prepare for the challenge, Schneider ran three times a week, did yoga twice a week and lifted weights one or two times a week. He was told to expect was something like “The Amazing Race,” he said. On top of preparing for Space Race 2012, Schneider had to prepare for three law school finals and edit the semester’s last two issues of the Arizona Law Review, an academic legal journal. “I’m sure it was hard … law school takes up a lot of time and being in a law review takes up even more time, so I’m sure it was challenging for him,” said Erin Norris, Schneider’s graduate school classmate and colleague at the Arizona Law Review editorial board. “To be honest, I don’t know how he did it.” Not knowing what to expect, Schneider flew to Seattle on May 6. On the first day, contestants were taken to iFly Seattle, where they had to pass four timed challenges in a wind tunnel at 100 miles per hour. Schneider was one of the top three,

and moved on to the second day of the competition. The next challenge, at Seattle’s Museum of Flight, required the three contestants to put on NASA jumpsuits and complete four tasks: to build a replica of a solar panel model using Legos and Mylar foil, find the answers to three flight-related questions hidden throughout the museum, make a paper airplane that could fly 150 feet, and navigate a remote control lunar rover through an obstacle course. That evening the two finalists, who would move on to the final day of the competition, had dinner with Buzz Aldrin, at the top of the Space Needle. The final day of the competition, Schneider said, was the most difficult and interesting. The two finalists had to climb the Space Needle antenna, climb out to the tower’s “halo,” and walk its circumference while answering 10 space trivia questions. Both phases were timed, with a penalty for every missed answer on the second phase. Aldrin then announced the final times of Schneider and his competitor, Sara Cook, declaring Schneider the winner. “It was pretty cool to have this legendary astronaut announcing that I would soon be also getting to go on a space flight … Getting my astronaut wings,” Schnieder said.

Wildcat baseball ‘doing what they need to’ before World Series By Cameron Moon arizona summer wildcat

A trip to the College World Series is special to any program and any coach who has pushed his team to its physical and mental limits in order to reach one goal: a national championship. Arizona head coach Andy Lopez and his 2012 Wildcats team, who will play Florida State in Game 2 of the World Series Friday at 6 p.m. in Omaha, Neb., are not just pleased with being included in the final group. “The grind is over,” Lopez said. “It’s a grind getting there. Enjoy the reward of being there. Compete like mad men, and keep playing good baseball.” Lopez’s Wildcats have been competing, and the way things are lining up for Arizona has Lopez and his team excited. “It’s a big deal obviously,” senior designated hitter Bobby Brown said. “We hear coach Lopez talking about it day after day. Now we can actually experience it for ourselves.” Arizona has arguably been one of the hottest teams in the country since before

reliever. Kurt Heyer pitched nine innings against St. John’s Friday, but because the contest went into extra innings, he was pulled after 9 1/3 innings. “That’s probably the most talented team that we played this year when it comes to athleticism, defensive energy, and offensively, they kept the pressure on you,” St. John’s head coach Ed Blankmeyer said Saturday. “They don’t punch out. They command the strike zone, they handle the bat, they’re well coached, and they deserve to win.” Making this year’s trip even more special is the personal path Lopez had to

take in order to get back to Omaha. In 2004, after Lopez led the Wildcats to their 15th College World Series appearance, he considered leaving the school to pursue other jobs. “I just couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel,” he said. Lopez’s wife convinced him to stay in Tucson, and eight years later, he has the chance to lead his team — which includes both of his sons — into Omaha. “I’ve had two sons go with me as batboys, and now I have to get them to shave,” Lopez said. “They’re going to be a part of a college program in a College World Series.”

“

— Andy Lopez Arizona head coach

postseason play began, but the Wildcats have managed to step up their play since the June 1 postseason opener. Lopez’s squad has outscored postseason opponents 61-20 in five games. Stretching back to May 11, the Wildcats are 13-2 with both losses coming by a combined six runs. “It seems to be working for us,” Lopez said. “We’re doing what we need to do every day to be successful.” The Wildcats’ pitching, which Lopez says is the most important aspect of a championship caliber team, has been a vital part of their success. Starting pitchers have tossed a mind-bending 44 1/3 innings out of a possible 46. In the postseason, only Konner Wade was pulled out of the game in favor of a

Arizona track ends season at NCAAs By Roberto Payne arizona summer wildcat

The Arizona men and women’s track and field teams concluded successful seasons this weekend at the NCAA Division I outdoor championships, hosted by Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. The men’s team had a strong championship weekend, finishing in seventh place with 27 points, while the women finished in 19th place with 15 points. “We accomplished some of the goals we set forth for the season,” Arizona head coach Fred Harvey said. “We felt we could have been a top four team on the men’s side. We lost the second best shot putter in the nation (junior Alyssa Hasslen) and the top hurdler in the nation (senior Georganne Moline) to injuries. Put their points together and we would have been third in the women’s championships.” Participating in the field for the men were sophomore Bozidar Antunovic in shot put, sophomore Lawi Lalang and senior Stephen Sambu manning the distance runs and junior Tyler Johnson in the hammer throw. Antunovic finished sixth in the men’s shot put, while Lalang placed third in the men’s 5,000-meter run with a time of 13:42.20 to end his second consecutive All-American season. Sambu took fifth place in the men’s 5,000-meter run and second place in the men’s 10,000-meter run with a time of 28:09.52, capping off his All-American season. Johnson earned eighth place in the men’s hammer throw with a toss of 63.88 meters. “It feels pretty good,” Johnson said. “I’ve been working pretty hard the past few years and that was my goal, to be an All-American. Eighth (in the hammer throw) is good but it leaves me wanting to get better next year.“ Arizona’s female participants included junior high jumper Brigetta Barrett,

Wildcats not looking to hit one out of the park in World Series Arizona’s hitting approach key against Florida State By Cameron Moon arizona summer wildcat

Heading into its College World Series matchup against Florida State, it would be natural to want to compare the Arizona baseball team with the Seminoles to unearth any underlying advantages either team might possess. Florida State holds the advantage in overall wins by five, and also lead in World Series appearances (21-16). The Wildcats have had more wins in Omaha, Neb., however, with a 33-26 advantage. The biggest difference between the Wildcats and Seminoles, and the one that will have the highest impact on Friday night’s game, is Hi Corbett Field. Arizona has played all its home games in a stadium similar to that of what will be their home for at least Friday and Sunday.

TD Ameritrade Park Omaha’s dimensions, which includes a shorter distance from home plate to every spot along the outfield wall, bodes well for Arizona and their “small ball” hitting plan. “I don’t think our hitting plan will be altered in any way,” Arizona head coach Andy Lopez said. “I think it will be a good situation for us. That will work to our advantage. I would expect that it will be an easier adjustment for us.” Arizona’s hitting plan has changed over the course of the season because of the unique setting Hi Corbett presents. In February, when games began, Arizona’s hitters were admittedly frustrated by their inability to smack the ball around the yard, not only because of their lack of experience in a new stadium, but also because of less-potent bats now used by the NCAA. The bats were made to decrease the reliance on home runs as offense, and instead switch emphasis to both

pitching and defense. The bats, accompanied with the size of TD Ameritrade Park, can only assist the Wildcats’ small ball approach, right fielder Robert Refsnyder said. “With the old bats, those big college kids are hitting home runs on fly balls,” Refsnyder said. “The new bats have really evened out the playing field. “Ameritrade is kind of similar to us,” continued Refsnyder. “It’s big. It’s hard to hit it out because the wind blows in. That plays to our strengths. Any little advantage when you’re going for a national title helps. It helps (pitcher) Kurt (Heyer), he’s a bit of a fly ball pitcher at times. I’m sure he’ll have his confidence in those

sophomore Elvin Kibet, who participated in the distance runs, and the quartet of sophomores Shapri Romero and Tamara Pridgett, senior Echos Blevins, and Moline (4x400 meter relay). Barrett completed a successful season with her second consecutive national championship in the women’s high jump, winning the event with a clearance of 1.93 meters. “It feels really great,” Barrett said. “To say I can come back and win consecutive titles is a blessing. I’m happy to bring back the hardware.” Kibet concluded her All-American season by taking seventh place in the women’s 10,000-meter run, logging a time of 33:02.04, and the Wildcats’ relay team earned sixth place in the women’s 4x400 meter relay, finishing with a time of 3:31.55. “Next season, our goal on the men’s side is to be a top six team and if things fall our way, who knows what could actually happen,” Harvey said. “On the women’s side, our goal is to be the national champions next year. We’re going to be a very difficult team to beat next year.”

dimensions.” The matchup with Florida State, a team with a much smaller stadium than Hi Corbett, will test the supposed advantage Arizona’s new home has given them. “You watch other conferences and their stadiums look tiny,” freshman catcher Riley Moore said. “Guys are reaching with hands-out swings, barely getting it over the fence. Those things aren’t going to play in Omaha. A team like us, it’s much more compact strokes, hitting gap-to-gap.” Hitting gap-to-gap and earning extra base hits is exactly the recipe that has allowed Arizona to reach its first College World Series since 2004. Thus far in the playoffs, the Wildcats have hit 23 extra base hits to Florida State’s 14. “It will help us out,” Refsnyder said. “I’m looking forward to it.”

UA sophomore double-majors in biochemistry and music By Kate Newton

ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

When faced with the decision to pursue music or medicine, Wyatt Duino took the easy way out: he chose both. Already a declared biochemistry major, the 18-year-old UA student is set to begin music classes in the fall to further pursue a singing career. Obtaining both musical and medical degrees, while nothing short of ambitious, is mostly notable for its rare presence on resumes typically divided between experience in the arts or sciences. “I wouldn’t be happy if I was doing something I didn’t love doing,” said Duino, who played

“Harry Potter and the Obnoxious Voice — The Spoof!” J.K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series has captivated readers and moviegoers of all ages for years. The Red Barn Theater is putting a new twist on the classic series, and invites you to check out a parody written by Jeannette Jaquish. The play features ridiculous storylines and outlandish action sequences, weaving a brand-new take on Harry’s adventures at Hogwarts. The Red Barn Theater is located

bass, trombone and piano in middle school before transitioning — purely by accident — to singing after someone took notice while Duino was “messing around” with his voice. “(They) told me I was good,” Duino said. “I didn’t believe it, because I had never sung before.” But the compliment stuck, and it didn’t take long for Duino to add another outlet to his musical repertoire. Thanks in part to his middle school music teacher, who stressed that “hard work and effort can overcome talent,” Duino was inspired to begin technical training for his voice. As he progressed, his impression of singing began to change. “When I first started, I was just trying to gain skill and technicality,” Duino said. “But as I moved on, I realized music is much more than skill, it’s artful expression.” Due to its popularity in his California high school, Duino quickly pinpointed R&B and acoustic music as a means to that expression. He began to record performance videos covering well-known songs with his own vocal twists, posting them on a YouTube channel for friends to circulate and comment on. Working on covers provided a comfortable place to both practice and explore, and Duino didn’t feel pressured to write his own verses. However, that sense of security faltered his junior year of high school. A close friend of his died in a parkour-related accident, leaving Duino flooded with emotion and a “large motivation to create,” he said.

Finding motivation was a challenge, but far from impossible. Duino began to translate his daily emotions first into poetry, then into musical verse, and was surprised with the result: unpolished and intense, but undisputedly real songs. He decided to share his newfound creative inspiration with other students before moving on to college: Club Expressions, organized by Duino to help high-schoolers involved in the arts showcase their work to the public, raised over $5,000 for families in need his senior year. On scholarship at the UA, Duino declared biochemistry to ultimately fulfill his longtime dream of becoming a neurosurgeon. Music, however, continued to remain a focus, and not incorporating it into his education made Duino feel like his future was limited to only one option. Choosing to declare music as well, he said, opened those options up to many other possibilities, making him more motivated and “better oriented” to think critically. “Sometimes you just have a moment in your life when you realize, ‘This is what I want to do,’” he said. “If I don’t become a doctor, I want to pursue my music 100 percent. Whatever happens, happens.” A discussion of Duino’s favorite artists, John Legend and Adam Levine, prompted a debate: Are the countless reality singing competitions on television the mass media’s attempt to recognize talent on a grand scale, or an insult to the entire industry?

his chosen artists acting as judges in such programs (“Duets,” and “The Voice” respectively), I had an idea of what Duino would think, but the scope of his response surprised me. “(The shows) are a great movement towards creating community,” he said. “It gives (the public) a more musical and artistic background. Music is something that everyone can agree on.” Asked if he would ever go on one himself, Duino laughed and said he “wouldn’t be opposed to it.” However, Duino has no need to rely on the likes of Steven Tyler and the rest of the eccentric performers-turned-critics roster, as he’s already pushing beyond the constraints of social media on his own this summer. With performances scheduled in Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco — the last two of which he used to live in — Duino intends to document his travels and convey personal memories of each city through the music he performs. “You can take a person out of a place, but you can’t take the place out of the person,” he said. “I’m really just a combination of my interactions and experiences.” And if experience is key, when Duino returns in the fall as a newly-declared music student, he’ll have plenty more to sing about.

Electronic Entertainment Expo reveals latest and greatest in modern gaming By Jason Krell ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Before this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo even came to a close, a lot of what was shown had been circulated like mad around the Internet. Fortunately for gamers, a few surprises gave E3 the kind of spark it needed; games with their spoiler alerts already broken still impressed enough to rise above the rest. Here’s a look at some of what the show had to offer. Best of show — “Dishonored” Little was known about this game from Bethesda Softworks, makers of “The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim,” aside from the fact that the main character is a supernatural assassin framed for the murder of his empress. A behind-doors demo revealed much more detail, making this the best game unveiled at E3. A first-person action game that focuses on player choice, the options of “Dishonored”’ can be anything as complicated as deciding which of the many powers and gear to use on a mission, choosing between bursting through the front doors and infiltrating the premises stealthily, murdering everyone in your path or leaving the innocents alive. Today’s audiences seem to make the former choice the preferred one, but Bethesda was sure to balance the game so that players can’t charge in with reckless abandon and come out unscathed. Killing a few enemies at a time is easy and fun, but the crowds are hard to handle. Even better, stealth is almost more fun. Players can use an ability called “blink” to teleport short distances to avoid enemies all together, or possess the bodies of rats and fish around the map to sneak past everyone. Eventually, players can possess other humans and walk right past any guards. Story details are limited at the moment, but the world “Dishonored” is set in is unique

from the start. It’s a steam-punk setting, meaning semi-modern technology built with a more Victorian-era feel — think lots of gears. Bethesda revealed that a lot of the technology in the game is somehow powered by whale oil and that a specific type of enemy, known as a Tallboy, polices the streets from the air with powerful weapons. More details will come out as it gets closer to the game’s Oct. 9 release date, but even the small unveiling proved that “Dishonored” is going to be one of the best games of the year. Best new series — “Watch Dogs” This was the biggest surprise of the show, courtesy of developer Ubisoft. A “Grand Theft Auto” style, open-world action game, “Watch Dogs” puts a new spin on an old genre. Instead of being some kind of gangster, policeman, or any other familiar character, Aiden Pearce uses information warfare to dole out his vigilante justice. Hacking is central to the game: Whether it’s nearby traffic lights, cell phones or the city’s central operating system, the information gained can be used to blackmail people or simply take them out. While this kind of interaction is a standout feature of the game, there’s still a third-person shooter element involved. The visuals are phenomenal, though it premiered on a powerful PC during the press conference. Even still, “Watch Dogs” will no doubt look pretty damn good. In fact, the game looked so good that some speculated it would be released on currently unannounced next-gen consoles. It’s since been confirmed to be for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC, but the possibility of it coming out for the next-gen eventually hasn’t been ruled out. No release date has been set yet, but most people will be eagerly waiting for the day they get to play it. “Watch Dogs” is definitely the best new series to show up at E3.

Downtown coffee bar and fare offers organic coffee Get sparked at Sparkroot Coffee Bar By Morgan Toone ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Nestled in the heart of downtown Tucson, Sparkroot Coffee Bar and Fare is paving the way for a new kind of caffeinating experience. Sparkroot not only endorses a healthy, organic lifestyle but serves only gourmet coffees by the Blue Bottle Coffee Company, based in San Francisco. “We’re honored to be the only AZ joint to represent this wonderful company,” wrote Sparkroot Founder Ari Shapiro on the company website. Each serving of coffee is prepared individually, known as the pour-over brewing method, to ensure the freshness of every cup. Sparkroot’s Lead Customer Service Representative, Caitlin Smelser, compared the craft to beer and wine in that a cheap wine cooler is far less satisfying than a fancy cocktail prepared to preference. “It takes an extra minute but it’s totally worth the wait,” Smelser said. She describes the coffee as having a cocoa flavor with hints of nuttiness, a bold flavor that usually takes a timely roasting process to achieve. The Sparkroot team began as Shapiro’s one-man mission to bring a modern way of enjoying coffee to downtown Tucson. He not only built Sparkroot from the ground up, but also founded Xoom Juice, a popular smoothie chain found only in Tucson. After opening a downtown Xoom Juice location in 2009, Shapiro was inspired to open a contemporary coffee shop with an edgy, urban vibe. Since Sparkroot’s opening in August 2011, the shop has seen a steady rise in business — before construction for the downtown streetcar project slowed business, according to Smelser. “We’re not surprised and there’s nothing we can do about it,” said Smelser. Sparkroot hopes to launch a summer menu, If you go: What: Sparkroot Coffee and Fare Where: 245 E. Congress St. Hours: Monday through Saturday, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Open Sundays 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Phone: (520) 272-8949 Parking: Underground lot just North of Sparkroot, entrance on 5th Avenue

conceived entirely around freshness, to bring back the business. The menu would include anything cool, crisp, and refreshing, though it would continue to promote a vegetarian lifestyle, according to Smelser. The current menu features items such as house-made granola, fresh salads and pressed sandwiches on ciabatta, all conceptualized by Sparkroot’s lead chef, Julie Asis. To further push the envelope, this new urban cafe is also alcohol-friendly, an aspect that attracts a strong collegiate crowd. From beer and wine by the bottle to mimosas and Irish coffee, Sparkroot offers a variety of liquid courage to appeal to all tastes. Shapiro’s passion for Tucson never wavers and his decisions are always made with the good of the city in mind, lead barista Katherine Bowers said. “Sustainability is a big part,” Bowers said. “A lot of the decorations are refurbished.” Recycled wine barrels-turned-stools line the bar while a plethora of vintage schoolhousestyle seats fill the rest of the cafe. A round table near the entrance serves as a seating area on the outer edge, with a bamboo plant emerging from the center. Various pieces of local wall art adorn the shop, and three bike racks, sit just inside the entrance to encourage active lifestyles. All eligible material is recycled and drinks are served in biodegradable cups. Shapiro said he “firmly believes in downtown as the foundation and heart of Tucson and is “thrilled to be contributing to the private sector revitalization.”
