The arrival of the flag on campus commemorated the Jan. 8 shooting six months later.

Community adds stitches to National 9/11 Flag on campus to commemorate Jan. 8 shooting

By Bethany Barnes ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT The National 9/11 Flag was carried on Friday into Centennial Hall six months — almost to the moment, at 10 a.m. — after the Jan. 8 shooting.

On this day, the community was invited to try to mend the damage done that day by adding stitches to the National 9/11 Flag.

The flag was destroyed by the

aftermath of 9/11 and stitched back together by tornado survivors in Greensburg, Kan., in 2008. It is a part of the New York Says Thank You Foundation. The foundation’s mission for the flag is to have it travel during the 10th anniversary of 9/11 in the hopes of acquiring a patch from every state by the end of the year. Once completed, the flag will go to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum being built at ground zero.

The ceremony for the flag included speeches by Dr. Peter Rhee, University Medical Center director of trauma and critical care and UA professor of surgery; Col. Brian Hastings of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base; Ron Barber, district director of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ office; Britann O’Brien, director of the Southern Arizona Office of the Governor, and Jeff Parness, founder and chairman of the New York Says Thank You

Foundation.

During the ceremony, speakers drew parallels between the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Jan. 8 shooting that killed six, including federal Judge John Roll, and injured Giffords and 12 others.

Before going to Centennial Hall for the ceremony and open stitching, the flag was raised in front of the Safeway

High among hikes

UA students saw 30th-largest rise in tuition since 2007

By Eliza Molk ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Arizona’s three public universities had some of the nation’s largest percentage increases in tuition from 2007 to 2010, according to a report released Thursday by the U.S. Department of Education.

Tuition for the schools rose between 36 and 38 percent, putting them in the top 5 percent in the nation, relative to their size.

Although the UA had the smallest increase among the three Arizona universities, its 36 percent increase since 2007 was tied for the 30th biggest institutional increase in the U.S. over that time period.

That increase has become even more drastic in recent years, growing an additional 35.7 percent since the 2009-2010 academic year.

Wanda Howell, chairwoman of the UA’s Faculty Senate, said one of the main factors behind the increases is reduction of state funding by about 40 percent since 2007.

The UA’s sources of revenue, she explained, are limited to tuition, research and state funding.

“If one of those revenue streams is cut off, which is happening from our state support, the other two have to make up for it,” she said.

Howell added that the UA is making a “huge push” to increase revenue from research, and that every department on campus is working on becoming more entrepreneurial.

Despite large tuition increases in past years, Associated Students of the University of Arizona President James Allen said that he believes the upcoming school year could be a “light in the tunnel” type of year.

“There’s not a lot of room or incentive for increases anymore,” he said. “Our degree must be worth something, and we have a lot of ammunition to say enough is enough.”

In order to do so, Allen said his administration will research students’ necessities, be highly educated on seeing what tuition monies go toward and come up with new methods to fight cuts.

“I don’t anticipate increases that high for next year, and as president, I will fight any TUITION, page 2

Study: Warming oceans destroy ice sheets

By Amer Taleb ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT As Greenland and Antarctica’s ice sheets disappear, they make sea levels rise and Earth’s problems that much bigger.

Researchers in a UA-led study uncovered the effects of warming ocean temperatures on the two ice sheets using 19 different climate models. The simulated worlds comprise 2 million lines of code, are compiled across decades of work and allow scientists to project and plan ahead, said Joellen Russell, an assistant professor of geosciences, climate modeler and ocean dynamicist who took part in the study. Ice sheets are titanic chunks of ice planted on land.

Warming air temperatures cause the polar ice sheets to melt away from the surface. In contrast, hotter oceans cause base erosion, inflict greater instability and seem to have

NEWS BRIEFS Baja Racing from Baja Arizona

The UA Baja Racing club, a student-engineering group that constructs all-terrain vehicles, had its best-ever finish in 21st place at the annual Baja SAE Collegiate Design Series, held each summer.

The competition pits 100 vehicles from all over the world against each other to test each one’s overall design, dynamic skills, such as acceleration and handling, and endurance abilities.

It’s the power of the sun, in research form

The UA will team up with Tucson Electric Power and locally-based Solon Corp . to create a solar-energy research area at the UA Science and Technology Park . The site will conduct testing to determine the feasibility, reliability and effectiveness of different types of solar technology available, as well as research into how to further the existing science. The first phase of the project will begin in August.

Interim president’s compensation announced

Gene Sander, the new UA interim president , will receive total compensation of more than $500,000 during the life of his one-year contract, according to the Arizona Board of Regents .

Sander, who takes the reins from outgoing UA President Robert Shelton, will serve as Shelton’s assistant from July 1 to Aug. 1, and assume full duties of the presidency after that date.

His annual compensation will be $425,000, a 61 percent increase over Sander ’s current salary as dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and UA vice provost.

In-state tuition in Arizona, however, was still near the middle of the pack for public universities nationwide. Pennsylvania State University, one of the UA’s peer institutions as determined by the Arizona Board of Regents, was the most expensive four-year public university in the country, with tuition set at $14,416 a year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics.

Daniel Fitzgibbon, a director of the Arizona Students’ Association, agreed that there is little incentive for future tuition increases, saying tuition talks for this school year have started off with a “different tone.”

This tone includes Regent Chairman Fred DuVal, who said in June that he is interested in a $0 tuition increase, according

FLAG continued from page 1 where the shooting occurred.

One connection mentioned was the death of Christina Taylor Green, who was born on Sept. 11, 2001, and died during the shooting.

Green was the reason for the National 9/11 Flag’s previous visit to Arizona on Jan. 13, as her family requested to have it at her funeral, Parness said.

He estimated that millions of people had seen the flag because of Green.

More than 160 million people have experienced the flag in some way, according to the National 9/11 Flag website.

One connection touched on by each speaker was the reactions of the first responders and the public during the tragedy.

to Fitzgibbon and UA Student Regent William Holmes.

Fitzgibbon said that because the organization has seen university budgets slashed so much, they want to ensure legislators know that funding education is a true investment.

“When you help educate your populace, it will in turn become an economic driver for the state,” he explained. “We want to make sure that they (Arizona legislators) are aware that cutting university budgets comes with consequences.”

— came to our aid, staunching the bleeding where they could, trying to help wherever they could before anyone else arrived,” said Barber, who returned to work this week after being wounded twice during the shooting. “If you can, imagine the scene that greeted the first responders when they first came to that Safeway that morning.”

Barber said he and the congresswoman’s staff met with those who came to their aid in the aftermath.

“Every single one of them that we met with was still moved and still essentially traumatized by what they saw,” Barber said.

“Can you imagine coming upon the scene where 19 people are wounded? Where do you start?

Where do you go to first? Well, they made those difficult decisions and I believe by making them well, they saved several

lives that morning,” Barber said.

He noted that Giffords is doing “very, very well.”

Parness remarked that the 9/11 flag should be a reminder, not of what happened on Sept.

11, but what happened on Sept.

12, and likewise encouraged Tucson to remember Jan. 9.

“Yes, we still mourn, and yes, we are still healing, but today is also an opportunity to celebrate the heroes that are with us here today: the first responders,” O’Brien said.

The Arizona patch for the flag is made of retired fire station flags from the Northwest Fire Rescue District.

Those that were nominated provided the first stitches.

Afterward, the flag was open to anyone who wanted to add a stitch.

“This is history,” Parness said.

“It’s not just about witnessing, it’s about participating.”

South Sudan officially becomes world’s newest nation MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS JUBA, South Sudan — On Saturday, the world officially welcomed the new country of South Sudan into the fold, promising support to the wartorn nation even while warning of perils ahead.

Tens of thousands of South Sudanese gathered to witness the independence day ceremonies and to celebrate the newly born state, chanting “We will never surrender” and “South Sudan oyee” in glee.

Youths cheered with intense patriotic fervor, while many older South Sudanese appeared introspective and overcome with emotion as world leaders recognized their homeland’s full sovereignty.

“For South Sudan, independence is not a gift you were given. Independence is a prize you have won,” said Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, who headed the American delegation to Juba,

South Sudan’s capital.

It was indeed a long and arduous path to statehood for the nation — roughly the size of Texas — and its more than 8 million inhabitants, who fought and suffered through two grueling civil wars against Sudan’s colonially anointed northern Arab rulers.

Some 2 million are thought to have died in the struggle.

As the national flag of Sudan was lowered, and South Sudan’s own green, red, and blackstriped flag was slowly raised atop a 100-foot pole, the crowd erupted into rapturous cheers.

“We have waited for 56 years for this day. It is a dream that has come true,” the nation’s leader, President Salva Kiir, said in a speech.

Besides the U.S., representatives from East Africa, China, Europe, the United Nations, and the Arab League also spoke at the event, which was not without its awkward moments and hitches.

Sudanese President Omar al

Bashir, whose nation shrinks roughly a third after the loss of the African-inhabited South Sudan, attended as a special guest of honor and speaker, despite poor relations with Kiir and an international arrest warrant issued against him on genocide charges in Darfur.

The fugitive Sudanese leader’s presence created an uncomfortable situation for the Western delegates present, who insisted on seating arrangements that would keep them from even having to pass in front of the shunned leader.

Justice advocacy groups warned that even a handshake with al Bashir would send the wrong signal.

“Any contact by U.S. officials with al Bashir at such an occasion would be wholly inconsistent with the United States’ expressed commitment to justice for crimes in Darfur,” said Balkees Jarrah, international justice counsel at Human Rights Watch.

WARMING continued from page 1 a bigger impact, said Jonathan Overpeck, co-director of the UA Institute of the Environment.

Jianjun Yin, an assistant professor of geosciences and lead researcher and climate modeler for the study, said measuring the ice sheets’ local ocean temperatures has been a challenge due to lurking icebergs that are not boat-friendly. And now, for the first time in history, scientists have quantified and compared subsurface ocean warming around the polar ice sheets.

The sea level currently rises at a rate of about 3 millimeters per year, Yin said. The subsurface oceans along Greenland are struggling to keep their current temperatures just above the freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius and could increase 2 degrees by the end of the century. Antarctica’s slightly slower temperature increase of 0.5 C could occur by 2100 as well.

Passing off the greenhouse gas problem to later generations may not be an option either.

Experts say global warming from the burning of fossil fuels for energy raises many diplomatic, environmental and economic questions about the future of the Arctic.

Great Barrier Reef on the inevitable path to destruction and other harsh impacts will have to be dealt with within the next 20 to 40 years, Russell said.

The environmental effects on Tucson’s

monsoon season would not be the extent of the local repercussions. Even though sea level rise is not a problem in Southern Arizona, the region may catch the effects of economic ruin from impacted areas

that will have to be collectively made up through higher taxes, Russell added.

Human migration from devastated areas could take a toll as well.

“I’m the one who’s going to be dead,” Russell said. “You guys are going to be the ones that have to deal with the consequences …. It’s your world … If I were a student here at the UA, I’d want to get as informed as possible so that I can help make the decisions that will have to be made.”

In a world of worst-case scenarios, where the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets no longer exist, global sea levels would rise 77 meters. And although a disaster like that would occur over the course of millennia, Yin said making minor changes today could change the course of human history tomorrow.

“I’m biking every day,” Yin said.

The key to eliminating the threat is to dramatically reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide and methane, Overpeck said.

“Obviously, this can’t be done overnight,” Overpeck added. “But the longer the people of the planet wait to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the more sea level rise we’ll have to deal with.”

Panetta invokes 9/11 in defending US mission in Iraq MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS BAGHDAD — Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told Iraq’s leaders Monday that they must decide soon whether to ask for U.S. troops to remain beyond the end of the year.

But the U.S. does not intend to broker negotiations among Iraqi politicians that could ultimately lead to agreement for a continuing presence, senior American officials said.

Panetta’s visit stood in sharp contrast to past tours by high-ranking U.S. officials under the Bush administration or even by Vice President Joe Biden in trying to push Iraqi leaders to take action. The subdued trip comes eight months after Biden helped persuade Iraqi leaders to form a government after a lengthy stalemate that followed a too-closeto-call national election.

Yet even now, terms of the deal remain largely unfulfilled, including the formation of a strategic national council headed by secular prime minister finalist Ayad Allawi, as well as the naming of interior and defense ministers.

It is this failure that Iraqi officials warn could sabotage any chances for an agreement on U.S. troops staying. “It will be much easier if a mutual understanding exists among the blocs about the shape of the (Iraqi) government,” said Deputy Prime Minister Roj Nouri Shawis, a Kurd.

At this point, it still remains unclear whether Allawi and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki can make peace. Without rapprochement, alMaliki does not have the political protection to win parliamentary approval for a security agreement that would allow a small number of American troops to remain in Iraq. Currently,

al-Malaki relies on the political support of anti-U.S. Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr to stay in office and al-Sadr wants all U.S. troops out at the end of the year.

Members of Allawi’s Iraqiya list, meanwhile, wonder openly why they should support an extended American military presence, when the deal to form a government that the U.S. helped broker last November has not been realized. They see al-Maliki serving as acting interior and defense minister and feel the U.S. government didn’t live up to its commitments.

“If the Americans stay and do not take a position on anything, their presence will be useless,” said Deputy Prime Minister Saleh Mutlaq from Iraqiya. “They must change their policy.”

In separate meetings with al-Maliki and

President Jalal Talabani, Panetta said, “we need to know as soon as possible” if American forces will be asked to remain and that “message was clearly understood,” according to Doug Wilson, assistant secretary of defense for public affairs.

The Obama administration, at least in public, has refused to become directly involved in urging Iraq to ask for some of the 46,000 U.S. troops still in Iraq to remain after December, even though senior American military officers have made clear they would likely look favorably on such a request.

But as the withdrawal deadline set during the Bush administration approaches, American officials are warning that as the planned pullout of personnel and equipment gains momentum, a point will be reached where it will be impractical to halt.

Ethnic studies opposition reaches new lows

O

pponents of Tucson Unified School District’s ethnic studies program have stopped at nothing in their efforts to eliminate the program. Members of UNIDOS (United Non-discriminatory Individuals Demanding Our Studies) can testify to this.

Robert Rodriguez , an assistant professor of Mexican-American studies at the UA , has had his reputation besmirched and his life threatened as a result of his involvement in the organization.

With investigations into this matter concluded at the end of last month, a look back at the issue is in order.

On Aug. 26 ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT of last year, UNIDOS coordinated a sit-in protest at a local school board meeting in which nine activist high school students and alumni chained themselves to chairs. In a video published on the conservative blog MikeShaw.tv, Rodriguez is inexplicably accused of child abuse for his participation in the event.

Baseless allegations of child abuse are but a drop in the bucket, unfortunately. Rodriguez has also been at the receiving end of a number of threatening phone messages. According to the Tucson Weekly, Rodriguez recorded one threat from a man who said, “Hey, I’m part Native American; I’m part white. … You’re going to find a magnum up your fucking ass, Mexican.”

The students who took part in UNIDOS’ school board protest have also been targeted.

Footage of the event is featured in a YouTube video that likens protesters to the violent zombie creatures in the film “I Am Legend.”

The music that accompanies the video warns that if the “infected” become hostile, the only way to subdue them is to “shoot them in the head.”

Unfortunately, the Tucson Police Department has determined that there is “no evidence” indicating that the video poses a threat.

Ever since TUSD’s ethnic studies classes were declared “illegal,” the tactics used by those who oppose the program have gone from bad to indefensible. Their efforts to eliminate the program through botched curriculum audits and legislation have failed dismally, so they are now resorting to brute intimidation and libel as a means of achieving their goal .

But rest assured, UNIDOS members and other pro-ethnic studies activists will not be silenced. They will continue to fight for a program that has not only led to higher graduation rates, but has given MexicanAmerican students a sense of identity that they otherwise would not have developed.

It’s truly confusing that people would so vehemently reject cultural enrichment through means of education. Let’s just hope that those intent on tearing down this program will not succeed in doing so.

tate Sen. Lori Klein, the same woman who said last year in a floor speech that most Hispanic students want to be gangsters, is once again under fire after pulling a gun on an Arizona Republic journalist.

But guys, her pink Ruger pistol is “so cute.”

Klein first drew attention to the gun debate by taking her gun into the Capitol just two days after the Jan. 8 shooting that wounded 13, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and killed six. Security tried to stop Klein, an Anthem Republican, from carrying the loaded weapon into the legislative chambers. But the incident escalated when Klein, in an ill-thought attempt to explain herself six months later, pointed the gun at a reporter from the Republic and trained the red beam of the laser sight on his chest.

“Oh, it’s so cute,” Klein said, according to a transcript of the interview. She added there was no need to worry. There was no safety on the gun, Klein said to reporter Richard Ruelas and photographer Mark Henle, but “I just didn’t have my hand on the trigger, god.”

No one’s ever heard of a gun firing accidentally or anything. God. Except, perhaps, Gardena High School in Gardena, Calif., where a boy set a backpack down on a desk on Jan. 19 and ended up shooting two of his classmates. The Los Angeles Times reported that the gun discharged in his bag.

Klein, who said her gun “isn’t a fashion statement or accessory” (which is why it’s pink and carried around in what resembles a “makeup case,” according to Reulas), argued that it is a “life-saving tool” in a statement released by the Arizona Senate.

Klein also said that she would not grant any more interviews on the topic because it “makes little sense to contribute to a media feeding frenzy” pushed by “individuals who never miss the opportunity to advance an anti-Second Amendment agenda.”

Other gun-rights advocates parroted Klein, and feared that President Barack Obama would push for more gun control legislation six months after the Jan. 8 shooting.

“The gun rights community is going to look very carefully at the Obama administration’s proposals, and anything that interferes with the Second Amendment right as it is being enforced today by the courts will be tested,” said attorney Alan Gura to Fox News.

Klein and other Second Amendment enthusiasts can argue that the media’s

characterization of the incident is another attempt by liberals to demonize gun-owners.

But it was Klein who broke every notion of gun safety when she pointed a loaded weapon, without a safety on it, directly at another person.

She also told the Republic that her father taught her gun safety, and that she owns several other guns, for which she received “informal” training. And informal polls show that’s not at all comforting.

While the gun rights community frets that Obama and legislators will steal away their precious guns and ammunition, it might be beneficial to ask the legislators on their side to stop being so ridiculous. First, it’s hard to take a legislator seriously when she calls her raspberry-pink gun “so cute.” Second, it’s even more difficult to trust that legislator if she’s careless enough to point a loaded weapon at a living creature without being formally taught how to properly handle it.

The gun rights debate isn’t driven by either Second Amendment nutjobs or crazed liberals seeking to expand government control and infringe on people’s rights. It’s driven by the thoughtlessness of people like Klein, who fail to understand that actions speak louder than words.

Forecast Flash floods of frustration

S

heriff Joe Arpaio is at it again. As a mass of media coverage flooded into Phoenix this week for the Major League Baseball All-Star Game, Arpaio simply had to get some coverage for himself.

Arpaio threatened to trot out convicted DUI offenders to pick up trash in front of Chase Field during what is known as “All-Star Week.” His groups of inmates would have included undocumented illegal immigrants and American citizens. However, Arpaio did not follow through with the plan.

Arpaio has done publicity stunts like this before around major sporting events. For Super Bowl XLII in 2008, he had chain gangs along Glendale Avenue as well.

What happened to just doing your job and occasionally spouting off something racist or polarizing? Has Sheriff Joe become so bored that he has to steal somebody else’s media coverage to create his own? As an avid baseball fan, I was sick enough to hear that there was a possible boycott

of the All-Star Game due to the SB 1070 nonsense from last summer.

Now that everything has died down we still have to deal with this? Stop mixing good, old-fashioned sports with political statements. Sports, or any form of entertainment for that matter, are supposed to be an escape from the toil of everyday life. When we go to a baseball game, we want to hear the roar of the crowd or the crack of the bat, not picket sign-holding protesters. We want to see the best athletes go head-to-head in the All-Star Game, not inmates shuffling around after a windswept, discarded newspaper.

Arpaio can talk his tough talk, but he’s really no better than an attention-hungry celebrity who is famous for some unknown reason. This shameless and desperate move by Arpaio should cause flash floods of frustration.

POLICE BEAT

By Rebecca Rillos ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Dance with Mary Jane in the middle lane

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers pulled over a car that had been driving in the middle of two lanes and turned the wrong way onto a one-way street on July 7 around 1 a.m. When the officers approached the driver, there was a strong odor of marijuana and alcohol coming from the car. The driver told officers she had only taken a sip of alcohol. She had red, watery eyes and slurred speech.

The woman stumbled and staggered when she got out of the car. The officers conducted various field sobriety tests and arrested the woman on charges of minor in possession, minor in possession while operating a motor vehicle, DUI to the slightest degree and possession of marijuana.

Suspicious package, UAPD don’t mix

On the morning of July 7, a UAPD officer responded to a call from an employee at the Space Sciences building about a suspicious package. The employee had received a manila envelope in her mailbox, with her name and the instructions “mix with water� written on it. The employee had opened the package and found a plastic bag with white powder inside. She told the officer she had been on vacation and did not know when the package had arrived. She said she did not recognize the handwriting and did not know of anyone who would want to threaten or scare her. The package was taken back to UAPD to be destroyed.

Steals on wheels

A student reported his bicycle stolen from the Psychology building on June 7. The student told UAPD on the phone that he arrived on campus for class that morning and locked his bicycle to the racks using a U-Lock. He returned around 3:45 p.m. and saw that both his bicycle and lock were gone. The student estimated the value of the bike at $200 to $400. The student had previously registered his bike with Parking and Transportation Services. There are no suspects or witnesses.

Smart Touch meets smart thief

A computer was reported stolen from the McClelland Park building on July 6. A teacher’s aide reported to UAPD that a Hewlett-Packard Smart Touch computer was taken from one of the rooms. The computer was last seen about a week earlier. The man said he believed that a previous report filed concerning a computer cable thrown into the trash is related to the theft. The estimated value of the computer is $2,000.

There are no suspects or witnesses at this time.

Harry Potter: ‘It all ends ...’

The Monsoon desk rains down on new movie copycats

M O NS OO

L E T TE

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II” hits theaters on July 15. And, as excited as we are, the three-word tagline, “It all ends …” stings like a slap in the face.

That “it” encapsulates a lot more than just the Harry Potter series.

For our generation, “it all ends” marks the close to 14 eager years of book releases and midnight movie premieres. It signifies the last leg of our journey alongside a lovable cast of characters who grew as we did, and is a goodbye kiss to thousands of schoolgirl crushes on a heroic boy with circular spectacles . J.K. Rowling dedicated the last book to the readers who “have stuck with Harry until the very end,” which we did because he stuck with us, too.

“Deathly Hallows: Part II” follows the finale of Harry, Ron and Hermione’s quest to find Voldemort’s horcruxes, which the trio must destroy to save the wizarding world from the darkest evils. Like the past three installments, “Deathly Hallows: Part II” is directed by David Yates, whose vision of the films is darker and more uniquely and aesthetically macabre than that of the series’ past directors. The film will be released in both 2D and 3D (and of course, the 3D glasses are round).

The Harry Potter series may have

started with a group of innocent and wide-eyed young witches and wizards, but as the characters — and the readers — have matured, so have the themes. “Deathly Hallows: Part I” was a world apart from the first film, “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” which was a friendly introduction to the hijinks at Hogwarts. “Deathly Hallows: Part I” addressed the tempting power of evil and the even stronger pull of love. So “Deathly Hallows: Part II” is bound to be even darker, in order to further explore the depths of good versus evil as the characters hurtle toward the final battle at Hogwarts.

Early reviews of “Deathly Hallows: Part II” call the film “monumental cinema” and a “genuinely terrifying spectacle.” So for lifelong fans, it is sure to be an emotional experience. But although this is clearly the most anticipated of all eight films, there is a certain reluctance that will last until the lights in the theater go down. After the movie ends, it will really feel like an era come to a close.

Of course, as Rowling said at the London premiere of “Deathly Hallows: Part I,” “Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.” Deep down, we know that we’ll remember the story we’ve grown to know and love for many years to come.

But we’ll still sob like infants when it’s over.

Dear Selena Gomez, I know you loved “The Lizzie McGuire Movie.” We all did back in 2003, before Hilary Duff lost all that weight, and before your beau, Justin Bieber, was even born. (OK, he was 9 years old at the time. But still.) No matter how much you loved Duff’s hit chick flick, it’s obvious that your up-and-coming film “Monte Carlo” is a rip-off of the same exact story.

Sure, it’s every girl’s dream to travel to another country, be mistaken for a famous millionaire and find true love. Oh wait. Maybe it’s not. So don’t steal it from Lizzie McGuire, change the setting from Rome to Paris and expect us to think it’s different.

I know you probably thought “Why not?” But hey now, this would’ve been a better idea if you considered what your dreams are made of, Miranda Butler Dear “Friends With Benefits,” I gotta say, you’re really branching out with this movie.

Come on! Friends having “Casual Sex” with “No Strings Attached”? I’ve never heard that one before.

“Friends With Benefits” follows the events that ensue when goofy, yet totally ripped, Dylan (Justin Timberlake) and beautiful Jamie (Natalie Port—, oops, Mila Kunis) decide to factor sex into their friendship. The pair notarize their pact on an E-Bible with a “no falling in love” clause, of course.

Like that would ever happen. Oh wait, it does.

You’d think Kunis would have learned from her sister swan that these things never work out the way you plan them. But it wouldn’t be a rom-com if they did.

Put it in writing next time, Rebecca Rillos

Dear Kevin James, I get you, I really do. Your awkward, round-yet-lovable white man antics are an almost constant source of amusement. But your newest role, as the titular “Zookeeper,” just drives me bananas.

I don’t understand why you, one of the most bankable and likable leading men in American cinema, feel the need to monkey around with the audience’s fickle goodwill. Maybe you thought combining the goofy, in-touch-with-nature charm of “George of the Jungle” with the hilarious animal antics of “Dr. Doolittle” would make for a whale of a tale. I hate to point out the elephant in the room, but this film is clearly a shoddily made, ill-conceived and rather shameless rehashing with animatronics more at home in a Disneyland ride than a 2011 feature film. Combine this with plot devices that stretch a viewer’s willing suspension of disbelief, and “Zookeeper” looks like more than I can bear.

If you keep this up, you may find yourself hopelessly caged into nothing more than roles in two-bit, half-wit rip-offs for the foreseeable future. And I ain’t lion.

Another postcard with chimpanzees from, Luke Money Dear Ryan Reynolds, Anyone who’s at least 8 years old, and who’s seen “Freaky Friday,” and/or “Trading Places” and/or “Face/Off” has already seen your upcoming movie, “The Change Up.” But with this movie, we don’t get hobo Eddie Murphy or serial killer Nicolas Cage — we just get two boring assholes who want to trade sexual partners and in doing so learn that life is comfier in their own beds.

If your heart is really set on sex drama and gastrointestinal humor, do yourself a favor and go see “Bridesmaids” for a second or third time. It might just change your life.

Good luck changing it up through some freak fountain-pissing voodoo, Brandon Specktor

Video game movies lose much in translation COMMENTARY BY Jason Krell

W

arts writer

hen the “Mortal Kombat” video game transitioned to the silver screen in 1995, it was met with skepticism and disappointment. And when “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” made the same transition in 2010, it wasn’t wellreceived either. Both movies have a rating of only 36 percent on www.rottentomatoes.com, and earned video game movie adaptations the reputation of minimal plotlines, bad acting and poorly written dialogue.

But despite the failure of these franchises, Legendary Pictures will attempt to break the box office with their adaptation of the wildly popular “Mass Effect” video game series. “Mass Effect,” developed by BioWare, is one of most successful franchises of the past five years, with popularity comparable to “Halo.” At the beginning of the game, a rogue alien named Saren assaults a human colony in search of an ancient artifact. Saren plans to enable a race of sentient machines called “Reapers” to destroy all life in the galaxy — which leads Lt. Cmdr. John Shepard and

his team throughout the galaxy to thwart the alien’s plan.

That’s a pretty skeletal summary. The role-playing game is acclaimed for its intricate plot and character building, so it might look like the perfect game to adapt.

After taking a closer look at the big picture, though, it’s clear that the movie faces some serious challenges. For anyone who has played the game, it’s obvious that the story itself presents a problem. The game is broken up into episodic missions, each with its own rising action, climax and resolution, which seem better suited to a TV mini-series. Cutting almost anything from these missions would rob the movie

of essential story points, but of course, the producers can’t include everything in only two hours.

Next, there is a problem with casting, not so much with who should play what part but with which parts are going to be in the movie. In the game, a player can choose from six playable characters to bring on each mission aside from Shepard.

In the movie, it will be up to the writers to decide who gets the screen time and who has to stay on the ship. Bringing everyone along would be a mistake as well, since there’s really no way to give everyone their fair share of dialogue without reducing all of them to background characters.

In this way, some fans are sure to walk away disappointed when their favorite character gets snubbed. Even the main role of John Shepard is a problem, because his character can be customized in various ways. Not even his gender is certain, since players can also choose a female version of the character, nicknamed “Femshep.”

Likewise, the player determines Shepard’s fighting style, which can range from straight-up soldier, to technological mastermind to psychic bruiser or any combination of the three. With so many options and only one to choose for the film, many fans may be unhappy if “their” Shepard isn’t tearing up the battlefield.

Overall, “Mass Effect” has been hailed as one of the most cinematic games ever made, but it wasn’t made to be a movie.

“Mass Effect” makes a good game because the player isn’t limited to two hours to comb through all of the hidden themes and compelling plot points that lay inside. And with so many decisions to make, the player gets to choose how the game unfolds.

Without that freedom, delivering the story might be difficult.

With all this in mind, and considering the history of movies based on games, the prospects look pretty grim for the “Mass Effect” movie. But we’ll never know until we see it on screen, so here’s hoping. If Legendary Pictures does a careful job of executing the movie, it’s sure to transfix millions of fans, both old and new.

What you should know for Folds’ show

By Kellie Mejdrich ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT

Ben Folds

Photo courtesy of benfolds.com

After all these years, Ben Folds is coming to the Rialto Theatre.

There are many reasons why you should go, but also quite a few why you should stay away. Check out these pros and cons to decide if you’ll see the big man in concert on July 16.

PRO: Remember all those long days sitting in your room, moping about not being grown up, when Folds’ words of hope floated through your CD player?

“Everybody knows / It hurts to grow up / and everybody does / It’s so weird to be back here.”

If you go to the show, you’ll be

back there.

CON: It could prove to be too much of a nostalgia trip. Maybe you don’t want to revisit those angst-ridden times: “I was never cool in school / I’m sure you don’t remember me / And now it’s been 10 years, / and I’m still wondering who to be.”

PRO: Ben Folds’ narrative lyricism might leave you with a better outlook on the world: “You can blow it off / and say there’s good in nearly everyone / just give them all a chance.”

CON: Ben Folds’ narrative lyricism might leave you with a depressing outlook on the world: “She’s a brick and I’m drowning slowly / off the coast and I’m

heading nowhere.”

PRO: You’ll get to hang out with all those other grown-ups who care enough to pay $41 to see Folds’ glorious horn-rimmed visage. Also, he has some new music he collaborated on with Nick Hornby. It’s a literary/ musical double feature!

CON: It’s $41. So you’re going to have to wait to put money down on that Young Jeezy show in August.

If, after weighing the options, you’re interested in seeing the one and only Folds, head over to the Rialto Theatre at 8 p.m on July 16.

Bring $41 and prepare to reminisce with some old favorites — and some new gems.

Setting the roster

Volleyball newcomers expected to replace seniors’ production

By Kelly Hultgren ARIZONA SUMMER WILDCAT Head coach Dave Rubio’s incoming class of six players is ranked as the 11th-best in the country, according to www.prepvolleyball.com.

But Rubio said he knows that volleyball matches aren’t won based on who has the highest-rated recruiting class.

“I think the rankings are always great for publicity, but it doesn’t necessarily indicate how good they’re going to be until they actually get in the program,” Rubio said. “Talk to me after a year and I’ll let you know whether that ranking is accurate or not.”

The best

While Rubio is waiting to see if Prepvolleyball.com’s prediction is accurate, he’s sure of one player, Madison Kingdon.

“We know for sure Kingdon is legit,” Rubio said. “She graduated early, she’s been here since

January and has been through the entire spring semester.”

Rubio has had ample time to size up the outside hitter from Phoenix. The freshman went to Sunnyslope High School and played for the Arizona Storm Club.

Even before she makes her 2011 season debut, Kingdon has already racked up some accolades. The Player of the Year for the state of Arizona was selected for two prestigious teams, the USA A2 team and the US Junior National team.

“She made the USA A2 team, which is equivalent to the collegiate All-Star game, and then she made USA A2 all-tournament on that team,” Rubio said. “She also made the Junior National team, which is pretty exclusive. They’ll be competing in Peru in July and she’ll be representing the USA team in that age group.”

Her position may be on the outside, but Kingdon is one of those all-around players

In the days of festivities leading up to the Instead, Giants manager Bruce Bochy event, MLB has given Arizona baseball fans decided he would rather take Kevin Correia a giant middle finger, and it hasn’t been shy to the game in lieu of Kennedy or Hudson, about doing so. two more young players who appear to be It started with player after player finding their groove. declining to play in this year’s All-Star But in the midst of all of those screwGame. In a game that’s supposedly for the ups, the league did get one thing right fans, Derek Jeter couldn’t make the trip — honoring the victims of the Jan. 8 to Phoenix just to sit in a dugout for nine shooting while presenting the colors before innings and tip his hat to fans after he’s Tuesday’s game. announced in the pre-game ceremonies?

Gabrielle Giffords, to throw reward the fans that voted him into the out the ceremonial first pitch, instead of a game, hoping to get a glimpse of their celebrity or contest winner. favorite player in person?

It was one of the rare moments where No one’s going to argue with someone sports fans and non-sports fans are as who declines to play in the game because of equally knowledgeable and equally an injury or illness. That’s what you should disgusted about something that took do — the rest of the season is far more place, and instead of bickering about how important than an exhibition game, even pointless or amazing sports are, can unite at if it decides home-field advantage in the a basic human level.

who can take on any one of the six positions on the court if needed, Rubio said. As he puts it, she’s a “pure-six rotation player,” who could hypothetically stay in every game during the match.

Kingdon, who flew under the radar during her high school and club career, came as somewhat of a surprise to Rubio. Rubio said he wasn’t sure what made her so special aside from her skill set.

“She never tried out for any of the USA programs,” Rubio said. “This is really new to her, all these things, all these teams she’s made … and new to the coaches, because nobody knew of her — she played on a mid-level to lower-level club team. I really didn’t know how good she was, I knew she was going to be good, but until she actually got here, we didn’t realize (how good).”

The rest

Kingdon isn’t the only reason for the class

MEN’S HOOPS continued from page 12 us now for two years, which is always a positive, and I think they understand how we do things on a daily basis,” Miller said. “We’re also going to count on four incoming freshmen to come in and help us shape a totally new team.”

Even though Arizona is playing without Williams, the Wildcats won’t be able to sneak up on opponents like they did last year.

After winning the Pacific 10 Conference regular-season title a season ago, Miller said he knows that Arizona won’t just have a bull’s-eye on its back from the rest of that conference, but also from newcomers

ranking — the other five incoming players come bearing talent.

In the middle, Arizona welcomes Halli Amaro and Rachel Rhoades, who are ranked in the top 60 of 2011 recruits.

Moving away from the middle, there will be Shaquillah Torres and Taylor Arizobal — both hailing from Saddleback Volleyball Club. Both have the potential to be major offensive threats for the Wildcats.

At the setter position, Rubio recruited Under Armour All-American Chloe Mathis.

Standing at 5-foot-11, Mathis will also provide good height at the net for Rubio’s relatively small team.

“With Kingdon being here, it really replaces someone like Tiffany Owens, who really played an exceptionally large role for us last year. But, do we have someone to replace Paige (Weber) or to replace Whitney (Dosty)? It’s hard to say, we won’t know that until the season,” Rubio said.

Colorado and Utah.

“The games are going to play themselves out whether you can sneak up on teams or not, whether you’re picked to win it or not,” Miller said. “The most important questions to answer are how good are we? Are we getting better? Are we getting ready?”

Arizona’s offseason has gone well enough to alleviate some of Miller’s concern about those questions.

“I think we have a lot of hungry guys,” Miller said. “When you experience what we experienced a year ago, you really want to get back to that time and time again. We know that it’s not easy to do and we’re a hard-working group of guys right now.”

In the swing of things

By Alex Williams Arizona Summer Wildcat Margarita Ramos, a senior on the Arizona women’s golf team, stepped onto the LPGA Tour’s biggest stage on July 7.

Ramos was part of the field at the U.S. Women’s Open, at the Broadmoor East Course in Colorado Springs, Colo., along with Arizona alumni Natalie Gulbis, Leta Lindley and Alison Walshe.

Though Ramos missed the cut by shooting a 22-over-par 164 through the first two rounds, she said she gained experience that will help her during her senior season, and ultimately as she transitions to professional golf.

“Even though I didn’t play my best, it was amazing to be part of a major,” Ramos said. “I learned a lot about myself.”

Perhaps the biggest lesson learned

by Ramos, who was named secondteam All-American by the National Golf Coaches Association her sophomore season, is how prepared Tour players are on a weekly basis.

“I went to the tournament as prepared as I could and it made me realize that in order to compete at that level, I have to work harder,” Ramos said. “Even though this tournament didn’t go as I wanted, it was definitely a great step.”

Ramos had a gallery of supporters that made the trip from Tucson, including second-year coach Laura Ianello, who played in three U.S. Women’s Opens, in one of which she was a member of the UA women’s golf team.

“Margarita is very, very talented,” Ianello said. “All of the pros struggled putting-wise, it was a very low-scoring week.”

Although Ianello has experience in a situation similar to Ramos’, the coach wasn’t able to give her much advice leading up to the tournament.

“I didn’t really get to work hands-on with (Ramos) or anything because it’s summertime and the offseason,” Ianello said. “I told her that the rough will be thick and you definitely need to be accurate off the tee. Your short game, especially your putting, needs to be very sharp.”

But even without being in constant contact with Ianello, Ramos was able to tap into another source of golfing information — UA men’s assistant coach Andy Barnes, who was her caddy.

Andy Barnes played in the 1999 U.S. Open and caddied for his brother, Ricky Barnes, in several tournaments, including his second-place finish at the 2009 U.S. Open.

“It was unreal to have Andy Barnes by my side every round,” Ramos said. “I felt like a professional to have someone as experienced as him helping me.”

Because of her amateur status, Ramos was required to play in the Mesa sectional qualifier to gain entry into the U.S. Women’s Open field. Ramos won the qualifying tournament in a playoff, which solidified her spot in Colorado Springs.

Ianello said that just qualifying for a U.S. Open is one of the most challenging feats in the game.

“Just qualifying is such an honor, it’s a huge task and a difficult task,” Ianello said. “It was just so exciting for her … she wants to play professionally some day, and this was so good for her to get that experience … it really helped her confidence.”

Even though Ramos struggled in her U.S. Women’s Open debut, Ianello said she expects Ramos to have a successful career after college.

“She’s a great young lady with a strong family support, and has all the tools it will take to be a professional golfer,” Ianello said. “She has such a great game … she’ll do very well.”

Moving on Men’s hoops adjusts to life without D-Will

By Alex Williams Arizona Summer Wildcat Adapting to change is one of the toughest things to do in life.

Just ask the Arizona men’s basketball team, which must deal with the loss of Derrick Williams after his No. 2 overall selection in June’s NBA Draft.

Williams’ departure leaves a void of 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game from the 2010-2011 season, and the 6-foot-8 forward was also one of the most efficient players in America, knocking down nearly 57 percent of his shots from 3-point range.

But head coach Sean Miller thinks Arizona experienced a similar situation following the 2009-2010 season.

“I think it’s easy to speculate, but a year ago, I think a similar question was, ‘How do you replace a leader like Nic Wise that had so much experience and came through in the clutch

Derrick Williams

so many times in his senior year for you?’”

Miller said in the UA summer prospectus, which was released last week.

While Wise didn’t produce the quantifiable numbers that Williams did, he was a four-year contributor at the most vocal position on the floor. Wise was also the team’s emotional leader after playing under four different coaches in as many years.

But even though Arizona faces the tall task of replacing Williams’ production, Miller said that the mood surrounding the team hasn’t wavered since the UA’s trip to the Elite Eight last season.

“The mood is high right now and that’s the byproduct that you experience when you have the type of season and accomplish what we did last year,” Miller said.

“When you think about the players going through the 38 games last year … that experience stays with you, you’re hungry to return.”

Miller also said he knows that it’s next to impossible for one player to step up and have the same type of impact that Williams had, and the team’s makeup will be different because of that.

“We need to develop collectively and we need a lot of different players to become better and improve across the board,” Miller said. “It’s not just our four man or our five man, we don’t have a team this year like we had last year.”

Miller said he looks at Arizona’s upperclassmen and the leadership they can provide as a reason for optimism, despite losing three contributors from the Elite Eight team.

“I’m confident that we have upperclassmen that have been with

Arizona basketball head coach Sean Miller added the second verbal commitment of the 2012 recruiting class Sunday when Orange, Calif., shooting guard Gabe York chose the Wildcats over Notre Dame, Louisville, Washington and Marquette.

York is ranked the No. 8 shooting guard of the 2012 class by ESPN, which describes the 6-foot-1 guard as “a born scorer,” and “one of the most prolific jump shooters in the country.” York joins La Verne, Calif., forward Grant Jerrett, rated the 15th overall recruit in the country for 2012, as Arizona’s verbal commitments for the class.

Walker formally joins V-ball staff

After serving as UA’s volunteer assistant volleyball coach in 2010, Melissa Walker has been hired as an assistant coach, head coach Dave Rubio announced.

Prior to serving as UA’s volunteer assistant, Walker was an assistant coach at California State University, Long Beach, for three seasons. As a player, Walker won a national championship at Long Beach State in 1998, a team that went 36-0. Walker was a three-time Big West Conference AllAcademic selection, and played in every match of her career.

Foles, Criner up for Maxwell Award

Arizona seniors quarterback Nick Foles and receiver Juron Criner have been named to the watch list for the 75th annual Maxwell Award.

The award, named for sportswriter Robert W. Maxwell, is presented to America’s most outstanding collegiate football player by the Maxwell Football Club.

Foles and Criner are two of 11 Pacific 12 Conference players on the watch list, including Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck, USC quarterback Matt Barkley and Oregon running back LaMichael James.

Zendejas on Groza Award watch list

Arizona senior kicker Alex Zendejas has been named to the watch list for the Lou Groza Award, given annually to the nation’s top kicker.

Zendejas, a Glendale native, has been Arizona’s leading scorer the past two seasons, and is one of 30 kickers on the watch list, which was compiled based on 2010 statistics and preseason expectations.

Three finalists will be named on Nov. 21, and the Orange Bowl Committee will announce the winner on Dec. 8. In 2010, Zendejas made 14 of his 19 field goal attempts, and has connected on 75 percent of his career attempts.

Iveson rejoins softball

Former Arizona softball player and coach Stacy Iveson has been hired as an assistant coach, Arizona softball head coach Mike Candrea announced.

A catcher, Iveson started on Candrea’s first four Arizona teams, from 1986 to 1989.

In four years as the head coach at Yavapai College, Iveson won two NJCAA titles and took her team to the tournament’s final weekend each season. Iveson coached under Candrea from 1996 to 2001, working with the team’s pitchers and catchers while helping the Wildcats to NCAA championships in 1996, 1997 and 2001.
