County unwilling to play with fire Board of Supervisors ban fireworks while fire danger remains high

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT While you can pick up Fourth of July fireworks at your local Walmart, you’ll have to leave the county if you want to set them off.

The Pima County Board of Supervisors has placed a temporary ban on fireworks until weather conditions improve.

The ban includes the commercial and personal use of fireworks. Those who violate the resolution will face a Class 3 misdemeanor and will be arrested and booked in either the Pima County Adult Detention Center or Pima County Juvenile Detention Center, according to a press release from the Pima Country Sheriff’s Department.

All requests for commercial permits for fireworks shows have either been denied or rescinded, according to the press release.

“The dangers are too extreme, the stakes are too high and it’s common sense … to ban the fireworks,” said District 1 Supervisor Ann Day. “Even the slightest spark could start a fire right here in town.”

Day said she guessed the arrival of the monsoon would help lift the ban.

“I guess if we really did have a hard rain Thursday or Friday we could lift the ban,” Day said.

Day noted that it isn’t like people won’t be able to see fireworks in town. They just won’t be able to see them at the resorts or set them off themselves.

Capt. Trish Tracy, spokeswoman for the Tucson Fire Department, said the department is encouraging people to attend the approved fireworks shows

that will be monitored by the department.

The “A” Mountain fireworks show will be the only legal fireworks display in town on the Fourth of July.

“A” Mountain will be soaked the day before the display, according to Fire Prevention Capt. Jeff Langejans.

“That prevents us from having any runaway spot fires or anything,” he said.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department will have a task force around the Fourth of July in order to enforce the ordinance, said Deputy Dawn Barkman, public information officer for the Pima County Sherriff’s Department. The task force will comprise 15 to 20 people including special operations individuals as well as possibly deputies from the field. The task force will respond to calls about fireworks and if they find persons using fireworks or evidence that they have been, they will be arrested, she said.

“If you’re talking about a situation where someone becomes injured as result of fireworks use, you are looking at more of a felony charge,” Barkman said.

The JW Marriot Starr Pass Resort and Spa is required to hire a brush truck, which the Tucson Fire Department provides, Langejans said.

The Starr Pass fireworks will be set off from a watered golf course, Langejans said. The fireworks at Kino Sports Complex will be done off of concrete and the fields will be watered, making the area “virtually non-combustible,” according to Langejans.

Biosphere 2, located in Oracle, is the world’s largest living science center and incorporates such habitats as a coastal fog desert and a tropical rainforest. The UA recently acquired Biosphere 2, thanks in part to two charitable donations.

Two donations spur university’s acquisition of Biosphere 2

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Biosphere 2 in Oracle will become official UA property on July 1, allowing a greater focus on long-term research and better positioning the center to receive federal and state investments.

The UA’s acquisition of Biosphere 2, a center for research, outreach, teaching and learning about Earth and its living systems, was made possible through two gifts. CDO Ranching & Development currently owns the Biosphere. It will donate 40 acres of real estate and facilities, including the center’s scientific apparatus, a conference center

and a power-generating plant. In addition, the Philecology Foundation of Fort Worth, Texas, will provide $20 million to support ongoing science and operations.

The UA College of Science has managed Biosphere 2 since 2007. Prior to CDO’s gift, the UA leased Biosphere 2 for a $100 annual fee.

The organizational structure of the center will not change after it becomes official UA property, according to Hassan Hijazi, director of external affairs at Biosphere 2.

“By securing the ownership, it will give us (the UA) opportunity for long-term investment from various agencies,” he said.

Joaquin Ruiz, dean of the UA College of Science, said that as the largest ecological

observatory in the world, Biosphere 2 makes the UA a unique institution to address some of the grand challenges facing the environment.

An example of this is water availability in Arizona due to the change of rain patterns.

Ruiz said that data from this experiment could be given to Arizona policymakers to address how individuals deal with water.

“It’s ours,” said Ruiz about the UA taking ownership of Biosphere 2. “We now have complete freedom to change things in the Biosphere without having to ask permission.”

Since 2007, the facility has operated as a BIOSPHERE 2, page 2

Arizona’s pharmacies may need a heavy dose of assistance to correct their flawed software.

Of the 64 different pharmacies examined by the UA College of Pharmacy, 72 percent had “failing” computerized decision support systems. The software, which alerts pharmacists to potentially dangerous drug interactions, was put to the test in pharmacies all across Arizona. Testing sites included correctional facilities, inpatient hospitals and chain stores. And the results did not come as a surprise to some. Decision support software malfunctions have always existed and will probably never go away, said Terri Warholak, a pharmacy assistant professor who took part in the study.

More than 20,000 different drug products stock U.S. pharmacy shelves, Warholak said.

The exponential nature of drug interactions makes it impossible to pin and identify all of them, especially those that may be harmful or fatal.

This is especially true when a patient is on PHARMACY, page 3

UA study shows high school students are distrustful of banks

The UA’s Take Charge America Institute for Consumer Financial Education and Research recently commissioned a study of 900 high school students to gauge their feelings on national credit and lending institutions two years after the financial crisis in 2009. The study, conducted by The Financial Literacy Group, showed that the majority of students believe that credit card companies attempt to entice people to spend or borrow more than they should and only 15 percent understood the nonprofit status of credit unions opposed to for-profit banks.

Research from Biosphere 2, Hijazi said, can apply to research on a larger scale in other areas such as renewable and solar energy.

The gift from the Philecology Foundation will also allow for the expansion of the B2 Institute, a separate component of the Biosphere which addresses scientific challenges and provides scientists from around the world to interact at an accessible venue in the Catalina Mountains.

Associated Students of the University of Arizona President James Allen said that UA ownership of Biosphere 2 would help bring in “new money” for the university as well as many research and research grant opportunities.

SINCE 1899

Poll: Obama leads all potential GOP 2012 nominees WASHINGTON — Only 36 percent of registered voters say they’d definitely vote for President Barack Obama next year — but he still tops all Republican challengers in one-onone matchups, according to a new McClatchyMarist poll.

The survey also found that Republicans and Republican-leaning independents remain highly uncertain about who they want to face Obama.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney leads the field, but with only 19 percent.

The findings “speak to the vulnerability on the part of the president,” but also doubts about the Republican field, said Lee Miringoff, the director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducted the poll.

The survey was taken June 15-23, after seven Republicans held a nationally televised debate in New Hampshire on June 13. It also covered a period of low consumer confidence in the economy and gasoline prices near $4 a gallon.

The survey included 801 registered voters, with 308 Republicans or GOP-leaning independents. The error margin was plus or minus 3.5 percentage points for registered voters and plus or minus 5.5 percentage points for questions asked only of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.

Obama faces determined opposition: 43 percent of voters said they would definitely vote against him in 2012. So would 43 percent of independents, 10 percent of Democrats and 85 percent of Republicans.

But none of his potential GOP rivals would beat him today. Republican candidates, Miringoff said, “have not at this point developed credibility with voters.”

Romney maintained a similar level of support as he did in an April survey, despite the attention given his June 2 announcement and a strong debate performance on June 13.

He may have “hit a ceiling,” Miringoff said, as doubts continue about Romney’s health care stand. As governor, Romney signed into a law a health care plan requiring near-universal coverage, a plan similar to the 2010 federal health care law that Republicans loathe.

Romney has explained that each state should be able to decide what’s best for its residents.

Online reader poll

What is your reaction to Sean Miller being the highest-paid public employee in Arizona?

• The results speak for themselves, he’s earned it 67%

Three potential candidates who haven’t declared their candidacies trailed Romney: Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, 13 percent; Texas Gov. Rick Perry, 13 percent, and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, 11 percent. The poll surveyed Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. Giuliani and Palin enjoy widespread name recognition, but the lesser-known Perry’s ascendance among them may suggest growing interest in him as he weighs whether to get in.

Next was Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, who declared her candidacy on Monday, at 8 percent. Other candidates trailed: Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Texas Rep. Ron Paul and businessman Herman Cain tied at 5 percent.

Two candidates scored 2 percent each: former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who announced his candidacy last week and is trying to position himself as a moderate-conservative alternative to Romney. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum got 1 percent, while former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson and political activist Fred Karger each had less than 1 percent. The poll also found 15 percent were undecided.

None would beat Obama today.

Romney comes closest, losing 46-42 percent, but he has lost some ground; in April, Obama led Romney, 46-45.

In other matchups, Obama beats Giuliani 48-41 percent; Bachmann 49-37 percent; Perry 48-39 percent; Pawlenty 47-33 percent; and Palin 56-30 percent.

The poll suggests that the Tea Party, the grassroots conservative movement that helped elect dozens of Republicans to Congress last year, has limited influence. Only 8 percent of registered voters said they strongly support the movement and 16 percent said they support it. Among Republicans, 45 percent said they supported the Tea Party, while 39 percent didn’t and 15 percent were unsure.

And 20 percent of Republicans and GOPleaning independents said they were more likely to support a Tea Party-backed candidate, while 70 percent said it made no difference.

“The Tea Party gives the Republican Party a lot of energy,” Miringoff said. “But for rankand-file Republicans, it’s not the be-all and end-all.”

PHARMACY continued from page 1 many different medications, which Warholak said is not uncommon.

System analysis consisted of inserting the information of a fictitious patient into the software of the 64 pharmacies. Contained in the set of prescriptions were 18 different medications arranged to render 13 serious drug interactions. In the study, only 18 of the tested software systems picked them all out correctly.

“This issue isn’t a kind of black and white,” said Daniel Malone, a pharmacy professor who also took part in the study. “It really is lots of shades of gray.”

Most of the software correctly identified the majority of the budding hazards but the decision system only had to miss one potential problem to constitute “failure,” Malone said.

The study is in the process of a follow-up to gauge changes the 64 pharmacies implemented into their systems, if any.

“We (initially) really didn’t think that any of the developers would take us seriously,” Warholak said. “Since then, several of the companies have contacted us voluntarily to ask for assistance and to assess their systems.

I’m very hopeful that we’ll have a positive change.”

FIREWORKS continued from page 1 “With those shows that are going on, everyone has an opportunity to view a nice show,” Langejans said.

The Tucson Fire Department is also warning against buying fireworks.

News Malone added that a mechanical oversight does not necessarily mean the pharmacist would miss the problem as well. The probability of a pharmacist recognizing what the software can’t is measured on a case-by-case basis, he said.

Many of the software systems are customized by and to a specific pharmacy and carry countless differences and caveats, even within the same pharmaceutical chain. However, only a handful of companies actually manufacture the original and untampered software that most pharmacies use, meaning the problem is not limited to Arizona, Warholak said.

UA researchers understand the problem’s severity and are working diligently to improve the nation’s health care system, Warholak said.

“A lot of times people say ‘Oh, people in academia live in ivory towers. They don’t do anything practical or useful,’” she said.

“Well, we’re trying very hard to influence positive change that will have an impact on every one of us.”

She added that approaching the problem from a software-systemic standpoint, instead of an individual or personal perspective, would yield the greatest results and improvements.

And although it may not seem like it at first glance, Warholak said there is a lot

that patients and customers can do to help their pharmacist and, more importantly, themselves.

Going to the same pharmacy, developing a personal relationship and having an open

“We see the inherent danger not only with fires but to the kids,” Langejans said. “We have no control over business, the state level determined that they can sell fireworks in the city, but we do have control over what they can do with them.”

Langejans said that with the drought, the fireworks are a huge concern and the

department hopes people pay attention to the laws and don’t go off into the desert to shoot off fireworks, as those are the places with the most risk.

It’s a risk that becomes even greater if people don’t notify anyone of a fire for fear of getting in trouble, he said.

“Not only are they (commercial fireworks) illegal but they are extremely dangerous,” Tracy said. “Anyone that chooses to use fireworks within the city limits can receive fines … if a person or animal is injured or a property is damaged then that’s a severe penalty.”

Undeclared freshman Andrea Aguiar said she thinks the ban is a good idea.

“It’s really dry outside and just adding to the possibility of a fire is irresponsible,” she said.

Aguiar’s family lives in Sierra Vista and had to evacuate because of the Monument Fire in the area.

The experience was scary for them, Aguiar said.

“It was a mess,” she said.

In addition to warning people against buying fireworks, Tracy said the Tucson Fire Department is also warning against sparklers.

The sparklers burn at about 1200 degrees Fahrenheit but are considered novelty items or a toy, even though they are dangerous, Tracy said.

Langejans said that, as a parent, he finds the sparklers concerning.

“I just don’t like them because they are like

little welding torches. … I’ve seen kids that have gotten really bad burns from those,” Langejans said.

While the monsoon may alleviate fire danger and lift the ban, it may also bring more hardships to those trying to recover from recent fire damage. According to Michael A. Crimmins, assistant specialist in soil, water and environmental science, areas that were previously not flood areas could be after being burned.

“All these communities that are close to these fires may now be dealing with some severe flash flooding,” Crimmins said. “You got to be really careful.”

When rain falls on the ground that has been heated up, the soils have actually changed so it just turns into run off, Crimmins said.

According to Crimmins, the National Weather Service is very concerned about this, and when rain events occur will be more inclined to warn people in burned areas.

Many areas in Eastern Arizona affected by the Wallow Fire will be prone to flash floods and debris flows in rains lasting only 10 to 15 minutes, according to the National Weather Service.

The Monument Fire, which has scorched more than 30,000 acres in Eastern Arizona, was 90 percent contained as of Tuesday morning. The Wallow Fire, also in Eastern Arizona and now the largest in state history at more than 528,000 acres, was 77 percent contained as of June 26, according to reports from fire officials.

EDITORIAL Pima County burned out on fireworks

U

nsurprisingly, Pima County is again at odds with the Arizona Legislature.

Sometimes it’s about immigration and concealed weapons. However, this Independence Day, it’s about sparklers.

The Pima County Board of Supervisors passed an emergency ban on the use of fireworks last week. Purchasing fireworks is still legal. It’s using them that will earn you jail time. Violating the ban is a Class 3 misdemeanor.

The supervisors also agreed to withhold permits from annual shows held in unincorporated areas, and revoked permits previously granted for private displays.

Last year, the Legislature elected to legalize home fireworks for the first time in more than 50 years. This year would have been the first year residents could set off fireworks in the county.

What was the impetus for such a drastic shift? Maybe the legislators wanted to pretend they were shooting stars to wish on.

If you ask Steve Lurvey, a representative from Phantom Fireworks, it was for why the Legislature does everything else: money.

“I think the governor saw that it could be a revenue source because we will be paying a lot of sales tax and a lot of fees and permits for the cities … money drives everything,” Lurvey said in an interview with www.MyFoxPhoenix.com last November.

Licensing fees and sales tax revenues as ways to offset decades of fiscal mismanagement and faulty economic policies?

Brilliant. It’s surprising that no one has thought of that as a solution for our latest descent into economic doldrums.

Granted, some may view such a justification as shortsighted, given the tenuous state of Arizona’s forests, but come on. You can always grow more plants. The state needs money now, and that doesn’t grow on trees, you know.

Of course, it would be unreasonable to represent the thoughts of one lobbyist as those of all state representatives. Legislators spoke up just fine for themselves, framing the issue as one of personal rights.

Two years ago, Republican Rep. Andy Biggs, of Gilbert, described the legalization of fireworks as an attempt “to poke in the eye those who have the nanny-state mentality.”

So, legalizing fireworks defends us against big government infringing on the right to shoot off fireworks and potentially cause irrevocable ecological and economic harm.

Naturally, this doesn’t begin to address the individual’s right to not have their state set on fire, but that’s not what the framers of the Constitution would have wanted.

Besides, citizens with constitutional rights don’t start fires. Illegal immigrants do. Just ask Republican Sen. John McCain.

Pants on fire, all of you.

Earlier this month, people using fireworks near Prescott sparked at least two fires. In one case, the fire began with a 14-year-old girl playing with a Roman candle. In another, the culprit was an 11-year-old boy using legal fireworks without supervision.

The fireworks ban in Pima County is a common-sense measure that comes as a welcome relief from another burn by the Legislature.

NY refuels same-sex marriage debate N ew York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law on June 24 that will allow same-sex marriage in the state of New York. The law, which will take effect on July 24, required timely Republican support to pass the Legislature by a slim margin of 33-29. In an incredible act of bipartisanship, social awareness and compassion, Republican state Sen. Mark Grisanti and Sen. Stephen M. Saland provided the final two votes necessary to make New York the largest state to legalize same-sex marriage.

Now that New York has joined Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont as the only six states to allow the marriage of gay and lesbian couples, everybody is holding their breath for the backlash. Four Republicans supported the bill, and those four are certainly sitting on a hot seat. Almost immediately after the bill was signed, money was being raised to defeat Republican supporters in their next campaigns. The National Organization for Marriage, an advocacy group that aims to protect “marriage and the faith communities that sustain it,” pledged to raise $2 million to defeat the Republicans that supported the same-sex marriage legislation.

In fact, so many feared retribution in the Republican Party that they requested political protection in exchange for supporting the gay marriage bill. New York Sen. Greg Ball requested assurances that he would have big-name Republican leaders from across the

Storm Byrd ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT nation come support him in his re-election campaign. Ball went as far as demanding a guarantee that former Vice President Dick Cheney would stump for him in his next election campaign. Ultimately, a starry-eyed request such as that couldn’t be promised.

Nonetheless, it is not the backlash that needs to be highlighted. Rather, we need to highlight the incredible achievement of the Legislature. This historic victory is one not only for the LGBT community in New York, but also across the country. With the California repeal of 2008, the same-sex

marriage movement was stalled, shocked and saddened. Now though, there is a reason for rejoice.

What happened in New York is a sign of hope, understanding and arguably a true indication of political progress. With the fierce battles between political parties, it is genuinely refreshing to see partnership for a greater good. While not all Republicans have laid down their hate-mongering arms, some have and we can only hope that enough do in the future. If, and when, that happens, we will be able to strive even closer to true equality.

Again, this is no final victory, not by a long shot. While the battle is over in New York, the war, so to speak, rages on. There is still much work to be done in the rest of the country despite the movement spreading across the Northeast. There needs to be a branching out through Middle America and the progress must extend back to the good ol’ marijuana-smoking, hybrid car-driving West Coast. If even one citizen is denied their opportunity to equality, then equality becomes nothing more than a word.

Blue light phone caller caught red-handed

Two 911 calls were made on June 25 from different blue light phones on the UA campus. The unindentified man called police from a blue light phone near McKale Center and said there was a man on the UA Mall and another man waving a knife. The caller said the man with the knife was coming toward him and then the line was silent. UAPD reported no signs of criminal activity in the area. A second call was made from a blue light phone near the UA Poetry Center, but the caller hung up. UAPD officers approached a man that matched a description of the caller given by bystanders near the phones. The man refused to provide a form of identification, but told police his full name. Upon conducting a records check, police found the man had a non-extraditable warrant in California for grand theft auto. The man was released at the scene.

Sticks and stones may break my windows

UAPD officers responded to a call on June 25 at Pima Residence Hall about a broken window. An employee said he was driving by and noticed the main entrance glass door of the residence hall was broken. He said he did not see or hear breaking glass and it was intact when he drove by two hours earlier. Upon inspection, officers concluded the double-paned door had been broken with a rock thrown from the outside. The rock was found in the building about 10 feet from the door. The door is valued at approximately $1,000.

There is no suspect information at this time.

Drug denial doesn’t dupe dutiful deputy

A UAPD officer responded on June 25 to a report about the odor of marijuana emitting from a dorm room in Posada San Pedro Residence Hall. The officer approached the room’s residents and their guest. All denied having any drugs or drug paraphernalia. One man submitted to a search of his side of the room and the other man denied a search of his. The one side of the room did not reveal any items of interest. The officer confirmed the odor of marijuana inside the room. The students were referred to the Dean of Students Office’s code of conduct.

Drunk cries ‘punk’

A UAPD officer responded to a call on June 24 around 8:20 a.m. from the Main Library about a sleeping, intoxicated man at one of the computer desks. The officer woke up the man and noticed he had an unopened 24-ounce can of Steele Reserve malt liquor. The man admitted he had drunk too much and fallen asleep. He agreed to leave the library. While the officer was escorting him out, the man became very agitated and began making fists. A records check showed the man had a misdemeanor warrant from Tucson Police Department for resisting arrest. The UAPD officer advised the man of the warrant and told him he was under arrest. The man attempted to fight the officer and called him a “fucking punk.” Additional officers responded to help at the scene. The man continued to yell and attempted to headbutt one of the officers multiple times. They took the man to the ground where he continued to thrash. He fell on his side and struck his head on the concrete, causing a small bruise over his eye and a bloody nose. The man was transported to University Medical Center for evaluation and treatment. He was cited and released at the hospital for resisting arrest.

Four ways to party for the US in Tucson

By Miranda Butler ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Fireworks

What would the Fourth of July be without fireworks? One of the largest fireworks shows in Tucson will take place at 9:15 p.m. above the Tucson “A” Mountain — and if you’re affiliated with the UA, you can get the best seats in the house for free. The UA will open up many garages near campus, including Sixth Street, Tyndall Avenue, Main Gate, Park Avenue and Highland Avenue parking garages, for free parking at 6 p.m. on the Fourth. The roof level of each garage will be blocked to traffic and open to spectators. Lawn chairs and pets are allowed, but alcohol, fires and barbecues are prohibited.

FRIDAY, July 1 Improv Comedy at Revolutionary Grounds If you find yourself missing the Charles Darwin Experience this summer, come to Revolutionary Grounds for more off-the-cuff comedy. On the first Friday of every month, Not Burned Out, Just Unscrewed Improv Troupe performs. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. at 606 N. Fourth Ave. Tickets are free.

Music

Every Fourth of July, the Arts Express Choir and Orchestra presents a musical variety show called “Let Freedom Sing.” This year marks their 27th annual performance, and the theme for 2011 is “United We Stand.” More than 100 singers, musicians and cast members from the Tucson community will perform classic American songs like “The Star Spangled Banner,” “America the Beautiful” and more.

The event is free, and will take place at 3 p.m. in Centennial Hall. A ticket is required for guaranteed seating, so visit www.arts-express.org for more information.

SATURDAY, July 2 Wiretap Live! at Hotel Congress The Montreal Gazette calls Jonathan Goldstein’s radio show “something between borscht-belt comedy and Franz Kafka.” And this Saturday at Hotel Congress, you can watch this charming curmudgeon tape his show live.

Tickets are $22 and the show begins at 7 p.m. Hotel Congress is located at 311 E. Congress St. SUNDAY, July 3 The Greatest Show on Earth at the Tucson Convention Center Arena Now is your chance to see the Greatest Show on Earth. Barnum and Bailey are the original ringmasters, after all. Check out the circus at 11:30 a.m., 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. this Sunday.

Tickets are $17 and the show will take place at the Tucson Convention Center Arena at 260 S. Church Ave. MONDAY, July 4 America: F**k Yeah! The “Team America: World Police” Sing-along and Curse-along at The Loft Because we really love America, damn it. Celebrate our great nation with foulmouthed puppets and a movie that sends the message, “Don’t f---ing tread on me.”

The Loft Cinema is located at 3233 E. Speedway Blvd., and the sing-along and curse-along begin at 6 p.m. Tickets are $8.

TUESDAY, July 5 Tucson Biennial Art Exhibit at the Tucson Museum of Art Most of us can’t make it to Paris or Venice to view new and innovative art, but this summer, we don’t have to. The Tucson Museum of Art’s 2011 Biennial Art Exhibition boasts the best art in Arizona. The museum is located at 140 N. Main Ave. and open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed on Mondays. Tickets are $3 for students.

WEDNESDAY, July 6 Summer Pfilm Series: “Deep Red” at Plush This week’s installment of Plush’s Summer Pfilm Series is “Deep Red,” a ‘70s Giallo film. The movie is a sort of warped genre of mystery and crime — like film noir, but grittier. Plush is located at 340 E. Sixth St. The film begins at 9:30 p.m. and is free.

Sports

Nothing is more American than the patriotic combination of baseball, fireworks

and Independence Day. The Tucson Padres will be playing a “Star Spangled Fireworks Spectacular” game this Fourth of July against the Reno Aces. The game begins at 7 p.m. at Kino Sports Complex in Kino Stadium at 2500 E. Ajo Way. Afterward, the stadium will host a spectacular fireworks display, and guests will be allowed onto the field to watch the show.

Gates open at 5:30 p.m. and parking is free.

General admission is $6.50. Tickets are on sale at www.tucsonpadres.com.

Charity

If loud fireworks and extravagant shows aren’t your style, use the Fourth of July as an opportunity to support a good cause. The Sabino Cycles Fourth of July Freedom Ride will take place at 6:30 a.m., starting on the east side of the Tucson Convention Center. The 28-mile bike ride will benefit El Grupo Cycling, a non-profit youth cycling team that seeks to empower youth through bike riding. The entry fee is $15 per adult. Call 520-747-2544 for more information.

If you’d rather walk or run than bike, check out the Third Annual Fourth of July Freedom 5-kilometer Run/Walk. Proceeds benefit research for childhood cancer through the Kick Cancer for Stephen Foundation. The run/walk will take place at 6 a.m. at the Golf Links Sports Complex Ramada No. 3 at 2400 S. Craycroft Road. Adult registration is $25.

Rowling conjures new medium COMMENTARY BY Miranda Butler

L

arts editor

ast week, J.K. Rowling revealed her plans for Pottermore — a mysterious website that she explained will be “an online reading experience unlike any other … It’s the same story, but with a few crucial additions. The most important one is you.”

Her video, which you can view at pottermore.com, does not give a very clear explanation of the concept. But my best guess is that it will be some kind of interactive community centered on the Harry Potter books. Rowling explained that

Pottermore will be shaped by readers, who will use the website to interact with the books, share their thoughts and rediscover their love of the story. The website also marks the introduction of Harry Potter as a digital/audio book and e-book.

Of course, e-books and electronic readers such as the Kindle and Nook have been gaining popularity for years, and in doing so, are irreversibly changing the world of literature. You may have heard someone say that in the next decade or so, books will become obsolete — and much to the dismay of English majors and bibliophiles, this may be true. After all, Borders bookstores filed bankruptcy this year, and you never know who might be next.

The death of books may seem terrifying. I mean, have you seen that heartbreaking Kindle commercial where a male actor asserts the superiority of his Kindle by shattering the dreams of a female actress (who just wants to express her love of folding book pages down)? Yet, as mean as the commercial appears, such

— Compiled by Maitri Mehta Photo courtesy of backstage.soentertain.me

technology isn’t actually sentencing all books to an inevitable death. In fact, the book isn’t necessarily dying out as much as changing form.

And new forms of literature aren’t just limited to e-readers. As Pottermore demonstrates, literature is taking all sorts of new shapes, including social networking and online communities.

Soon, depending on the features of the Pottermore site — which will be revealed on July 31 — books may even reach into the realm of interactive gaming.

Once-static books are reaching heretofore-unimagined levels of interactivity already. QR codes dot airports and bus benches around the country, allowing anyone with a smartphone and barcode reader to have instant access to the classics. After all, who hasn’t fantasized about reading “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea” while 35,000 feet in the air?

So although some critics may attack Pottermore as just another way to exploit the Harry Potter franchise, it actually may hold much greater significance to the world of reading and writing.

Pottermore isn’t going to be the first new form of literature, and it certainly won’t be the last. But as we develop new ways to approaching books as a medium, we have to realize exactly that: The concept of books still exists, it’s only the medium that is changing. And in fact, as we introduce more and more ways to access, experience and enjoy books, we’re expanding (not destroying) literature.

Dear Sondre Lerche,

N

UA 44

The Monsoon desk rains down on new music releases

Congratulations on hitting the Top 200 for the first time, with your new self-titled album. It’s long overdue.

Sondre Lerche gives your worshiping fans more than enough to swoon over, and lends new listeners a lethally-catchy snippet of a singer-songwriter career that’s been lengthy, diverse and to my dismay, not well known enough.

Tracks like “Private Caller” and “Domino” are not just foot-tapping, hip-shaking guitar jams, they’re also heart-wrenchingly truthful to how complicated it is to love and be loved.

Love your new stuff. Keep it coming, Kellie Mejdrich

Dear Cults,

FIRST CLASS

Remember back in the ‘80s when you rocked stages throughout the world with hits like “She Sells Sanctuary”? Oh wait, wrong band. You’re Cults, not The Cult.

Regardless of your name, I dig your self-titled debut album. It offers a new take on the 1960s, all-things-sunshine vibe. But beneath those sugary-sweet melodies lies a darker message, which we see in songs like “Go Outside” and “The Curse.” And the eerie, non-linear plot of your music video “Abducted” stays true to your identities as New York film students.

The Vivian Girls and Best Coast can step aside. Cults has revived ‘60s girl pop and tossed in a hint of mystery. I know you’ll make Lily Allen’s record label, In the Name Of, proud.

I’ll drink the Kool-Aid, Kelly Kleber

Three films to fuel your Fourth fervor

By Miranda Butler ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Is patriotic partying not your style? Celebrate Independence Day at home with one of these Fourth of July-inspired movies.

‘The Patriot’

This tear-jerking drama stars Mel Gibson and Heath Ledger as soldiers in the American Revolution. It follows the story of farmer Benjamin Martin (Gibson) who joins the colonial militia to avenge the death of his beloved son. “The Patriot” is filled with action, blood and gore, which serve as chilling reminders of the battle that our forefathers fought more than 200 years ago.

Dear Digitalism,

Apparently the only solid, synthy mix you’ll ever make was your 2008 EP, Pogo. Your new album, I Love You, Dude, is a boring, noisy mash of indistinguishable tracks. And come on, was that really the best title you could come up with?

True, your song “Forrest Gump” features Julian Casablancas from The Strokes, and is much improved by his vocals. But even so, the track — and the entire album — is forgettable.

Where did the disco drums from your earlier albums like Zdarlight go? Your previous work tops I Love You, Dude by a mile. Maybe you should try for something more pop-y next time instead of making an entire album out of the same clumsy beats.

Better luck next time, Maitri Mehta

Dear LMFAO,

Your second album, Sorry for Party Rocking, should really be called Sorry for Advertising, because it’s 50 explicit minutes of extravagant selfcelebration.

Kudos on supplying a range of themes to an album set exclusively in da club. Beyond ubiquitous summer hooks like “Party Rock Anthem,” you give us less obvious facets of what is no doubt an exhausting Party Rock life. The woeful “Reminds Me of You” is unlikely club fodder, but an astute confession that at any debaucherous revelry only “Some of us came to celebrate, but most of us came to get away.”

Everything about your new album reeks of calculated measures to brand your crunked-out fantasy lifestyle and sell, sell, sell. But at least you own up to it.

I forgive you for party rocking, Brandon Specktor

‘1776’

Maybe you’d rather celebrate the holiday with singing and dancing. No problem. In the 1972 film “1776,” our founding fathers do just that. This musical comedy, based on the Broadway musical of the same name, is inspired by historical events, but also has a lot of fun with well-known characters such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.

‘Independence Day’

So, maybe this one isn’t as relevant as the rest. But why shouldn’t your Fourth of July be filled with aliens (and Will Smith)? This science ficton thriller won an Academy Award for best visual effects in 1997, and takes the concept of “Independence Day” to a whole new level. During the American Revolution, we fought for our freedom, but in this movie, the characters fight for humanity, planet Earth and their right to live.

Video games 1-up California Legislature which games are appropriate for children.

Games with a Mature rating can only be purchased by 17-year-olds, so the law is almost redundant.

To video game publishers, developers and gamers, a video game is another art form that should have the same rights as a book or movie, so such a law violated the constitutional rights of video game developers. But California lawmakers disagreed, citing the research of Craig Anderson and a handful of other research psychologists.

Justice Antonin Scalia wrote the majority opinion, and explained these studies were not considered compelling evidence because “(n)early all of the research is based on correlation, not evidence of causation, and most of the studies suffer from significant, admitted flaws in methodology.” The law’s definition of what constitutes a violent video game was also too vague, which some of the justices took issue with.

Regardless, the court found California in the wrong and officially made it illegal to

COMMENTARY BY Jason Krell arts writer

O

n June 27, the Supreme Court ruled that video games are protected by free speech. After a long legal battle, the court ruled against California, in favor of the Entertainment Merchants Association by a 7-2 majority.

The Brown v. Entertainment Merchants Association case began in 2005, when California state Sen. Leland Yee of San Francisco introduced a law that would criminalize the sale of extremely violent video games to children. This would be unnecessary since the Entertainment Software Rating Board already determines

✂

infringe on free speech in video games. Of course, there are people like Yee who feel that the gratuitous violence in some games is disgusting or wrong. However, as Scalia also wrote, “Disgust is not a valid basis for restricting expression.” The justice used Dante Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy” as an example of violence in literature, comparing it to the violence in the “Mortal Kombat” series. The violence in either case is not necessarily proper, but the Constitution doesn’t discriminate.

This is clearly a victory for the video game community, and not just because games are now protected speech. This also brings video games one step closer to being considered a legitimate art form on the same level as literature and film. Some people may find this classification surprising, but gamers are more surprised that this was ever a question.

Some video games have just as much detail in their stories as some books, with actual themes hidden behind the entertainment they provide. Games like

“BioShock” deal with the same objectivism found in Ayn Rand’s work. Even gamers themselves might not have noticed this, because we’re not used to thinking of video games in this way, but articles like “Objectivism in BioShock,” from www.kotaku.com, give inarguable proof that games do have deeper meanings.

Now that developers have constitutional free reign with their games, the doors might be open for more games with prominent, deep ideas. The interactivity of games makes them much more accessible too. Of course, the same goes for the possibility of extreme violence, but hey, they have that right now. Whether developers decide to use this newfound freedom to enrich their games with deeper stories or gratuitous violence, it’s their call. Either way, it will be exciting to see what may come of it.

Pac-10 shines in New Jersey Conference produces six NBA draft picks

When I heard my name called, I was just going to hold myself. I had to cry a little bit and hug my parents and my agent. It was a great feeling.â&#x20AC;?

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT NEWARK, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Eight Pacific 10 Conference players declared themselves eligible for the NBA Draft after the 2010-11 season and six heard their name called on Thursday night at the Prudential Center. Three players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Derrick Williams, Klay Thompson and Nikola Vucevic â&#x20AC;&#x201D; were selected in the first round, giving the Pac-10 a total of 17 first-round draft selections in the last four years.

A total of six Pac-10 players were drafted, tying the conference with the Atlantic Coast Conference for the second-highest number of draft picks in the last four years with 29. The Big 12 Conference has the highest number of total draftees over the past four years with 31.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a breakdown of where the other players representing the Pac-10 went in the draft.

Tyler Honeycutt

Honeycutt played two seasons at UCLA, and started 33 of the Bruinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 34 games this season. He became UCLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th draft pick in the past eight years. He averaged 12.8 points per game and 7.2 rebounds per game and led the Bruins in three-point shooting, connecting on 36.2 of his attempts from long range.

Selection: No. 35, Sacramento Kings School: UCLA Position: Small forward He said it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get to this point has been my dream since I was a little kid, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s come true. To play for the Kings, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a great situation for me.â&#x20AC;?

Klay Thompson

Mike Christy/Arizona Daily Wildcat Taken at No. 11 on Thursday, Thompson USCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nikola Vucevic became the third Pac-10 player to be drafted Thursday when he was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with became Washington Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest draft the 16th pick. Vucevic averaged 11 points per game during his three years at USC. pick ever, and the first Cougar to be drafted Malcolm Lee since 2008. He is just the second WSU player to be drafted in the first round. Thompson Lee was UCLAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 12th draft pick in the last eight years. The three-year player averaged played three years at Washington State and led the Pac-10 with 21.6 points per game this 13 points per game in his career. season.

Selection: No. 43, Chicago Bulls, rights traded to Minnesota Timberwolves Selection: No. 11, Golden State Warriors School: UCLA School: Washington State Position: Shooting guard Position: Guard

He said it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really humbling, just because I know how good the organization of the Warriors is and I can tell they are going in the right direction. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait to go up there and play for coach (Mark) Jackson; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be demanding but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get the most out of it.â&#x20AC;?

Nikola Vucevic

Vucevic is the fifth USC player selected in the first round of the draft since 2007, giving the Trojans at least one first-round draft pick in four of the last five years. Vucevic played three seasons at USC, averaging 11 points and 8 rebounds per game.

Selection: No. 16, Philadelphia 76ers School: USC Position: Forward He said it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to say that this was by far the greatest moment of my life.

Isaiah Thomas

Arizona fans will best remember Thomas for his last-second shot in the Pac-10 Tournament championship game that sank the Wildcats in overtime, but the junior from Washington almost didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear his name called in the 2011 draft. Thomas is the seventh Huskies player to be drafted in the last nine years. He ranks sixth all-time among Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scoring leaders.

Selection: No. 60, Sacramento Kings School: Washington Position: Guard He said it: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was real nerve-racking because I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect to go that late. Even my agent was a little surprised, because we heard different things coming up into the draft.

Other than that, it was just a blessing to get picked.â&#x20AC;?

WILLIAMS

PASTERNACK

continued from page 12 No. 2 overall pick in the 1998 NBA Draft . â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mike Bibby is one of the greatest to ever play and just honored to share that title with him,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great honor to have my name up there with him and just to be in this position.â&#x20AC;?

Williams joins Bibby and Sean Elliott , who was selected No. 3 overall in the 1989 draft , as the only Wildcat players to be drafted in the top five.

Williams attended the draft with his mother, sister, niece, agent and business managers. Arizona head coach Sean Miller, who agreed to a contract extension in May, and assistant coach Book Richardson also attended the draft. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really excited and proud of Derrick and happy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; so happy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for his family,â&#x20AC;? Miller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The old saying, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;good things happen to good people,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so true with Derrick and his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think as good of a player as he is, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even a better kid and, to me, that will be the big picture for him because Minnesota and their organization and that city, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting someone that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really going to love as a person.â&#x20AC;?

Williams spent two seasons under Miller and averaged 17.8 points and 7.7 rebounds during that time. He led the Wildcats in scoring in 29 of Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 38 games in the 2011 season . Williams is the highest-drafted player that Miller has coached in his eight years as a head coach .

As Williams made his way to the photography room in the Prudential Center, he expressed happiness that he can finally call himself an NBA player. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small percentage of people that actually get this opportunity,â&#x20AC;? Williams said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to take advantage of it.â&#x20AC;?

Pasternack attributed the majority of Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success to Miller â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selectiveness in his staff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great staff dynamic,â&#x20AC;?

Pasternack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Sean (Miller) is a terrific leader, a leader of people. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s put together a staff that has every single person working for one common goal, every single day â&#x20AC;Ś thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably the biggest thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been impressed with.â&#x20AC;?

Although Pasternackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stay at New Orleans was short-lived, he said he plans on being at Arizona for an extended period of time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know coach Miller has two feet in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he likes to say all in â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m all in and I think the whole staff is,â&#x20AC;? Pasternack said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited about what could happen with Arizona basketball.â&#x20AC;?

D-Will chosen No. 2

SPORTS BRIEFS Wilson resigns

Arizona assistant softball coach Teresa Wilson resigned from her position in an attempt to land a head-coaching job, head coach Mike Candrea announced Friday.

Wilson coached Arizona’s pitchers for three seasons after 21 years of head coaching experience at four different Division I schools.

“I’m more than pleased to have been part of Arizona softball for three seasons, but I’d like to return to having my own program,” Wilson said in a statement.

Wilson was the 1989 NCAA Coach of the Year and Pac-10 Coach of the Year after leading Oregon to the Women’s College World Series. In 1996, Wilson’s Washington squad lost to a Candrea-led Arizona team in the WCWS title game. Wilson is one of only six coaches to lead two different programs to the WCWS.

Former UA forward unconcerned with Timberwolves’ plan

By Nicole Dimtsios ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT NEWARK, N.J. — The Minnesota Timberwolves selected former Arizona Wildcats forward Derrick Williams with the No. 2 pick in Thursday’s 2011 NBA Draft . Williams averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game this season.

“I’m just glad my dreams came true, and I’m happy that this whole franchise chose me number two,” Williams said. “I’m just going to keep working and try to be the best player I can possibly be and make the rest of my teammates better.”

The Timberwolves finished with the worst record in the NBA at 17-65 .

Williams said his workout with Minnesota was “really comfortable,” and that he “fit in with (the Timberwolves) really well, on and off the court.”

Speculation by news outlets like ESPN suggested that the Timberwolves might trade their No. 2 pick before Williams’ name was called, and it is still rumored that Minnesota might use Williams as a bartering chip. There has also been speculation that Kurt Rambis , the current coach of the T’Wolves, may not return next season .

Despite the uncertainly surrounding Minnesota and his selection at No. 2, Williams said his focus would be helping the Timberwolves achieve a

Replacing Archie

By Kelly Hultgren ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Time will only tell what newly-hired men’s basketball assistant coach Joe Pasternack will bring to the table.

However, one thing is for certain: His wife, a former Arizona student, can finally cheer with her husband.

“My wife went to Arizona, she was here for the national championship,” Pasternack said at an introductory press conference on Monday. “I lived with a Wildcat while I was at (California). Those were interesting times, especially on game days when we were playing Arizona, to see who she was rooting for.

“I’m very familiar with Arizona basketball (after) being at (California) for eight years, and coming to McKale (Center) wasn’t a great experience if you were on the other side. I’m excited to be on the different side of the bench now.”

Arizona’s history of success is something that Pasternack believes has helped bring the Wildcats back to the verge of competing for championships on a yearly basis.

“What coach (Lute) Olson built, and the tradition of Arizona basketball — you just have to watch the NBA Finals to see the two national champion guards in Jason Terry and Mike Bibby … and then to see Derrick (Williams) get drafted number two — that’s exciting. I believe that Arizona is on the verge of competing for championships year in and year out like coach Olson was doing every year.”

Pasternack brings 12 years of experience to Arizona’s program, and is taking the place of Archie Miller, who was hired

New assistant coach brings experience to UA bench as the head coach at the University of Dayton in April.

In addition to eight years as an an assistant coach at California, Pasternack, a New Orleans native, was the University of New Orleans’ head coach for the past four seasons .

Though the transition from being a head coach back to being an assistant might create a power complex for some, Pasternack said he considers Photo courtesy of nmnathletics.com the shift to be an advantage.

Joe Pasternack “Most assistants have this great itch to be a head coach,” he said. “Well, I’ve been a head coach, and my focus is strictly on having the chance to compete for Pac-12 championships year in and year out.

“For me, coming from a head coach — a seat over — really helps me in the fact that I went from giving suggestions to making decisions, to now back to giving suggestions, but being able to see the broader scope.”

The opening was created in April, and, according to Pasternack, the search took months. Throughout the process, he remained patient and respected head coach Sean Miller for taking the time to make his decision, he said.

Pasternack’s ability to recruit on the West Coast is something that gave him a leg up on other potential candidates for the assistant coaching job.

“I had very strong relationships with people out west, and PASTERNACK, page 11

After both the men’s and women’s teams finished runners-up at the Pac10 Conference Championships and finished in the top 10 nationally, postseason awards are starting to roll in for Arizona track and field.

Barrett wins national title

Arizona track and field’s Brigetta Barrett is now the American national champion for women’s high jump.

Last week at the USA Track and Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., Barrett took the title with her personal record height of 1.95m (6-4 3/4).
