The UA improved from the research institution producing the fifth most Fulbright U.S. scholars to the second most in the nation in the 2012-2013 year. Five faculty members were chosen as U.S. Scholars from the UA this year, tying the university for second in the nation with institutes like Rutgers University, University of Florida and Texas A&M at College Station. The ranking is an improvement from one year ago, when the UA tied for fifth in the nation behind eight elite schools, including the number one-ranked Pennsylvania State University. The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program is the flagship international educational exchange program funded by the U.S. government. It focuses on building mutual understanding between people of the U.S. and people of other countries, according to the Fulbright site. The program sends an estimated 1,100 American scholars per year to roughly 125 countries, where they get the opportunity to lecture or research a variety of professional and academic subjects. “The program is highly competitive. These are the best of the best, and to have more than one Fulbright Scholar on a campus speaks to the quality of the faculty of that university,” said James Lawrence, a public affairs officer in the Office of Academic Exchange Programs, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, at the U.S. Department of State. Approximately 5,000 professionals apply to the program each year, according to the site. The application process is merit-based and each application is reviewed multiple times, first by a group of disciplined specialists, then by a peer review committee. If the application passes, it is then reviewed by the host country and the 12-member Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, appointed by the President of the United States, for final selection and approval. “Being one of this year’s Fulbright Program top producers is an honor of which we should all be proud,” said Dale Lafleur, director of Institutional relations and a UA Fulbright Adviser. “It recognizes the work of our faculty and the breadth Two unidentified people riding a motorcycle suffered non-life threatening injuries at approximately 5 p.m. when a car struck them at the intersection of East Sixth Street and North Cherry Avenue. “They were just laying there.

A partnership between three Arizona universities has helped launch a program to raise scholarship money for hundreds of high school students.

The UA, along with Northern Arizona University and Arizona State University, recently partnered with the Arizona-based non-profit organization Live the Solution in order to launch the AZ Earn to Learn program, which helps more than 700 students earn scholarship money from a fund of $3.1 million.

“It’s the first time all the state universities have received federal education IDA [Individual Development Account] grants at the same time and are partnering to create a program like this,” said Michael Staten , director of the Take Charge America Institute and UA assistant dean of careers, commerce and industry .

Staten said his role in the program was to bring together the project members here at the UA.

Funding for this program comes from the Federal Assets for Independence program , a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services . The rest of the funding came from the three four-year universities in Arizona, who all matched dollar-for-dollar with AFI in order to provide the finances for the program .

have.”Four RDMT core management

employees arrived in Tucson in the first week of January, all with at least 20 years of transit experience, de Leon said. RDMT will make more than $900,000 in its first year, according to its contract.

“We’re basically expecting the RDMT staff to manage all the details of running all the streetcar system and to do that with a high degree of professionalism and competence,” de Leon said.

Once the team settles in and is caught up with the construction schedule, the team will review, change and approve preliminary plans for the streetcar’s hours of operation and smart card system.

“What we need to do in the next weeks is finalize those plans and get ready for revenue service,” said Steve Bethel, RDMT Tucson general manager.

Until streetcar operation begins, RDMT will be working closely with Sun Tran, the department of transportation and the Sun Link management team to integrate and take over all systems of the streetcar, including the maintenance

and storage facility, the streetcars themselves and the electrical and rail systems.

RDMT will also be working closely with Sun Tran to decide prices and how riders will transition from riding a bus to riding the streetcar. A smart card system being built into the streetcars will be installed in Sun Tran buses this summer, de Leon said. This will allow for a smooth transition for customers, he added.

“Our goal is to provide safe, clean, reliable means of transportation with the streetcar project, and provide the public with a state of the art streetcar system,” Bethel said.

organization is in charge of administering the Individual Development Account part of the program, the individual bank accounts the students will need to open for the program.

“It’s an amazing program,” said Geraldine Aramburo, the Live the Solution program coordinator for the UA. “I just wish more people would learn about it and enroll in the program.”

Kate Hoffman, director of Live the Solution, emphasized the fact that current college students may not apply for the program, as it is specifically geared toward high school juniors and seniors who are looking to attend one of the state universities after graduation.

Staten said to be eligible for the AZ Earn to Learn program, students’ families must earn less than 200 percent of the federal poverty level, and that participants must acquire an IDA in which they save at least $25 a month for a minimum of six months after beginning the program. They must also finish financial education classes and attend one-on-one financial coaching sessions and college readiness training.

After completing these requirements, the students’ savings are matched 8-to-1 by the funds of AZ Earn to Learn, so that for every dollar earned, the student receives $8, resulting in $4,000 of scholarship money for every $500 of savings.

“It’s a great opportunity for potential students for the U of A,” Staten said.

Vito is ‘right fit’ for Mentor of the YearUA Vice President for Student Affairs

Melissa M. Vito was honored as Mentor of the Year at the 40 Under 40 awards ceremony in mid-December.

Vito started her time at the UA as a student more than 30 years ago and has held such positions as financial aid administrator and associate dean of students along the way to her current position as vice president for Student Affairs.

Vito answered a few questions about being named Mentor of the Year.

Daily Wildcat: Did you have any idea that you were nominated, and do you know who nominated you?

Vito: No, I did not. I believe it was Kasey Urquidez and Keith Humphrey, who were

being honored for 40 Under 40, who I had nominated for 40 Under 40.

What was your reaction when you found out you were named Mentor of the Year?

I was stunned. I was absolutely stunned. I was really honored.

Of honors I have received I would say this is one of the most meaningful ones because I try to work hard with my team to know as many of my team as I can and to help my members of my team be as successful as possible.

Whether that is having the right fit in terms of role, understanding, you know, what they do that makes them successful and things to work on, creating opportunities for newer staff or younger staff to move into leadership roles.

I really work hard at that, and so it was really meaningful to receive that.

What do you do as a mentor, and does it come naturally?

It is probably something I just believe is an important part of what I do. And so whether it’s people I work with directly, people I know in the community who might say ‘I am trying to figure out my next move, I am a teacher, what do you think?’ And my normal thoughts are: ‘How do I ask them questions to get them things to think about and find ways to connect them with other people?’

I think some of it is probably just for me, something I just think is an important part of what I do, and I think I am pretty comfortable doing it.

I think giving good feedback, creating opportunities, helping people understand when maybe this isn’t the best fit but they’re great at what they do but a different environment or different role may be a better place. It’s all sort of part of that package.

of international engagement of the University of Arizona.”

Thomas DeGomez, an agriculture area agent in the Department of Forest Health at UA, was one of the five honored as a U.S. Scholar this year, and he traveled to the Philippines with the program.

DeGomez taught classes at Visayas State University and researched native insect populations and forestry.

“We had a great time. It makes me feel like I’m at a really good university with really exceptional people,” DeGomez said. “It makes you feel like we must be doing some things right here in Arizona, to bring good people in and to have that many Fulbrights.”

Ferry crashes, results in at least 57 injuries

NEW YORK — A commuter ferry carrying hundreds of people from New Jersey to New York City hit a slip at a lower Manhattan pier Wednesday, then kept going and smashed into a second slip, injuring at least 57 people, two of them critically.

One person was hurled through a glass door and another fell down a flight of stairs as the Seastreak Wall Street, a triple-decker ferry carrying 326 passengers and five crewmembers, jerked to a halt, officials said. The impact tore a gash in the right front of the boat, which had left New Jersey at 8 a.m. EST for the roughly 45-minute trip to the Wall Street area.

Most passengers said the ride had been normal and that people had lined up as usual near the front of the boat to disembark quickly as it neared Pier 11 on its second run of the day.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang followed by a strong jolt.

“It was entirely normal. Everything was normal,” said Brett Cebulash, who was not injured. “We rolled in slowly like we normally do but it didn’t stop this time.”

Within minutes, emergency responders had arrived at the busy pier and turned it into a triage center, with the injured strapped onto stretchers and laid side by side on the ground to await ambulances. Other passengers walked away, some with bandages covering wounds.

The 140.7-foot-long catamaran had undergone extensive renovations last summer to replace its engine system, which involved removing large sections of the hull to install new propellers and rudders. The work reduced the ship’s weight and speed but improved its fuel efficiency, said Seastreak’s president, James

Barker.“You’re looking at the greenest

ferry in America,” Barker said at a news briefing at Pier 11, where the damaged vessel remained in the water. He said the captain has been with Seastreak about 10 years and was at the controls when the crash occurred. The boat has been involved in two previous incidents, in 2009 and in 2010, both minor and neither involving injuries.

It was the most serious ferry accident in New York City since October 2003, when a Staten Island Ferry smashed into the St. George terminal on Staten Island after leaving lower Manhattan in choppy seas. Eleven people died and more than 70 people were injured in the crash.

Of those injured on the Seastreak Wall Street, nine were in serious condition in addition to the two who suffered critical injuries. The other injuries were considered relatively minor.

Student finds voice as children’s book author

Sydney Kramer published her first book at the age of 11 .

Now Kramer is a UA freshman working toward her bachelor’s degree in the School of Theatre . Her experience in publishing has shaped her perspective and furthered her confidence.

“When I held my first published book for the first time, honestly, I was pretty nervous and scared,” Kramer said. “My books have since helped me to gain more confidence and to have better self-esteem, courage and faith in myself, as well as the people around me.”

Kramer grew up in Downingtown , Pa., and she was around 10 years old when she first began writing children’s books. Growing up, she was inspired by her father, also a writer. He asked her if she wanted to write her first book when she was in fourth grade .

“He always gives me new ideas and is always there to help me when I am stuck on one of my books,” Kramer said. “My family has always been supportive of me.”

With her family’s support, Kramer was inspired to delve deeper into her own world of writing, she said.

The result: five children’s mysteries on the shelves and in stores, the most recent published in the winter of 2011.

“Sydney loves kids, and that was in part what motivated her to write books for them very early on,” said Allison Huff Macpherson , Kramer’s aunt and a UA director for education and outreach . “Not only did she do a favor to many children out there by writing these great books, but she also did a favor to herself. Her creativity helps her to be resourceful to solve problems.”

To explore her creativity, Kramer drew inspiration from the newspaper, topics in class, her family background and vacation destinations. She also reflected on the

stories she read as a young girl.“Nearly all of the books I read were about

making people happy and telling people that dreams can come true when they grow up,” Kramer said. “But when you grow up, you start second guessing and questioning if there is such a thing as a happy ending or if you will able to achieve what you have always wanted.”

Kramer said she worked to create stories that eliminated this doubt by reminding children between ages 5 and 10, her target audience, of their youth and energy.

At first, Kramer thought of writing as a way to earn extra money. However, it became more than just a pastime. Kramer reminisces about the moment her father informed her that “The Case of the Stolen Prom Dresses,” the first of her “Cookie Dalmatian” series, would be published.

She had big things planned for her character, Cookie. “I hoped that maybe he would become a classic and memorable literary figure and maybe even star in his own movie or television show,” she said.

As media attention and excitement surrounding Cookie heightened, Kramer’s books spread, not only across the nation, but to countries around the world, including Panama, England, Canada and Luxembourg.

The “Cookie Dalmatian” series was also featured on an episode of the Primetime Emmy award-winning Fox TV series “House.”

Kramer was then featured in Canadian author Peter Kuitenbrouwer’s book “7 Secrets of Highly Successful Kids.”

What began as an exciting venture to earn some extra pocket money ended up being less about the change in her pocket and more about the change she noticed in

her self-esteem. Kramer’s social, academic, and personal

confidence seemed to rise with each new sale.

“Moving from Pennsylvania all the way to Arizona was a huge change for me,” Kramer said. “The skills and insight that I gained throughout my writing career helped me to adjust to my new environment.”

Since beginning her first year at the UA, Kramer has gotten involved in the theater program, and joined the campus branch

“Since Sydney became a young author, her sense of self has really been strengthened,” Macpherson said.

“Her confidence has no bounds and it’s enabled her to develop some very important leadership characteristics, such as initiative and determination. … She doesn’t give up.”

Her sense of accomplishment inspired Kramer to help others to achieve this same sense of self-fulfillment. With the publication of each book, Sydney chose a new illustrator, with hopes of “giving someone their big break.”

While Kramer tries to lift up others within the industry, she said she is aware of the pressures of competition that exist around her.

“The nerve-wracking part is that you have competition out there with other children’s authors and writers in general,” she said. “It is scary not knowing if children will want to read my books or even enjoy them.”

Kramer said she recognizes the insecurities that follow those trying to reach their dreams. “If you have a unique talent that you want to pursue, don’t hold back,” she said. “Catch it and embrace it.”

After fiscal cliff mess, time for real action

As the clock struck midnight and the year became 2013, our country fell over the

dreaded fiscal cliff. Hardly anyone actually felt the full impact because of the eleventh hour deal struck on New Year’s Day, but we were once again witnesses to the federal government’s inability to act responsibly by finding common ground or demonstrating any willingness to compromise.

Even with a deal passed that will keep taxes low for most Americans and delay across-the-board spending cuts, the damage was done.

This May, the class of 2013 will leave Tucson, degrees in hand. Many graduates will continue their education in an attempt to improve their position in the increasingly competitive job market, but most of them will be seeking full-time employment with their bachelor’s degree.

Even with the economy slowly adding jobs and unemployment inching its way down, an analysis published by The Associated Press in April 2012 found that only about half of recent graduates have been successful in finding full-time employment, while the rest are either jobless or underemployed.

Our graduates probably won’t fare better.

As those Wildcats go off into the real world, many more are walking through the doors of Centennial Hall and the Henry Koffler building for the first time. They will deal with rising tuition costs and government funding that is shrinking at an alarming rate.

Quite a few issues that were up for debate during the fiscal cliff negotiations were problems that college students here and across the country are being forced to face. The national debt is reaching unprecedented highs and welfare programs are costing the nation more and more as the baby boomers reach retirement.

On Aug. 5, 2011, credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded the federal government’s credit rating, not because it was defaulting on loans, but because Congress was so divided that debt ceiling talks dragged on until the government was set to shut down in less than 24 hours. As we saw this New Year’s Eve, nothing has changed since then.

Isn’t it time to make some tough decisions? It’s only going to get harder from here, and Congress can’t keep waiting till the last possible minute to compromise. Businesses need to know what the future will look like in order to plan and make hiring decisions. Incoming and current students need to know what kind of federal financial aid will be available to them, and universities need to know if the federal government will continue to issue research grants. As it always has been and always should be in a democratic society, compromise is the solution.

Contact your representatives; urge them toward a middle ground that will allow businesses, students and the UA to plan for a future of economic prosperity. Urge your Republican representatives to give some ground and vote to raise some taxes, and urge your Democratic representatives to work on cutting some programs and adjusting welfare programs.

Most importantly, urge for compromise.

Facebook monitoring by police requires caution

Judging by the pointless, pathetic life updates people proudly post on social media sites, you’d think they were in

a race to prove that inventing the Internet was a crime against rational members of humanity.

How is it that just when you think status updates and tweets couldn’t sink any lower, there’s always someone to up the ante?

Last Wednesday, 18-year-old Jacob Cox-Brown of Oregon upped the ante when he shared this status with his network on Facebook: “Drivin drunk…classic ;) but to whoever’s vehicle i hit i am sorry. :P”

Two of his Facebook friends forwarded his post to the police, who acted on the tip, sending officers to the man’s house. Officers determined that Cox-Brown’s car matched the description of the vehicle that had collided with two others earlier that morning. The time of his post confirmed that he had been driving the vehicle during the time of the accidents.

Shockingly, Cox-Brown was never charged with drunk driving, since a post was not enough to legally prove that he was driving while intoxicated. He was only charged with two counts of reckless driving.

While holding Cox-Brown responsible for two accidents is a win for those who suffered damages, social media lawyers are now directing their attention to the consequences of law enforcement becoming increasingly active on social networking sites.

Law enforcement has already seen some positive results using social media. In October, the Los Angeles Police Department received assistance in identifying photos of women who had been marked as targets by “the Grim Sleeper” by posting more than 40 photographs recovered from the suspect’s home on Facebook and Twitter.

However, the use of social networking sites by police, the military and others becomes a hot topic when you pop the question: Is it legal for law enforcement to read privately shared messages, posts and information on social media sites? Currently, it’s only legal with a search warrant or a court order.

Facebook’s terms of service explicitly state that whatever you post on the site is your own property, making posts tangible. Your online friend’s status updates are the equivalent of your neighbor having his own possessions around his house. You can read the posts

the same way you can see your neighbor’s property: by being invited in. If something causes you to become suspicious, you have the right to report what you’ve observed to the police.

That being said, the information you share via social media sites is up for grabs at any time by law enforcement. Facebook even has a legal process center, where law enforcement officials can enter record requests.

The government’s defense wings monitor the highway of social media behind a one-way mirror, collecting data here and there. If government breaks that mirror and decides that monitoring social networking sites is as fair as patrolling the streets of your city, we’ll have a lot more to worry about than seven years of bad luck.

We’ve been cautioned to be “good online citizens” ad nauseam, but with the arm of local law enforcement increasing its efforts to establish a social networking presence, now we really do possess digital citizenship.

The majority of us read breaking updates on Twitter and Facebook before they become official news — and soon, so will your friendly neighborhood policeman.

In response to “Armed guards can’t prevent tragedy, weapons ban can” (by Nathaniel Drake, Jan. 8):

Clearly you are unable to think logically. Drugs are illegal, but you can get them on any street corner in America. Guess what, criminals don’t care if the guns and magazines are outlawed, they will still be able to get them. What part of that do you not understand?

An assault weapon ban is only a false sense of security! We have already had a mass shooting during the first ban.

— John B.

Since apparently you fully understand the issue, maybe you can tell me what the definition of an assault weapon is. Last time I looked they were restricted to military use only. So since all we civilians have are semi automatic rifles, that are dressed up to look “scary” what makes one designed for a small varmint(.223/.556) more dangerous than a hunting rifle designed to function the same way with a more dangerous round(30-06).

Why does your call for control appear to be based on an emotional reaction rather than the review of the facts that we as Americans deserve? Where is the rest of the discussion in your article on mental health, violence in the media?

— Jim

This guy dosen’t get the ‘’shall not be infringed’’ part on the end of the Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights.

— Daniel S.

Obviously he does, because he mentioned infringement on the right of freedom of the press and freedom of speech, which we all happily allow. The Second Amendment was created for an organized civilian militia, not any

redneck who just wants a gun so they can feel powerful. I think Mr. Drake addressed the issue very well, and shows that the safety of

a nation should trump personal, or special group, interests.— Sarah V. (in response to Daniel S.)

Mr. Drake didn’t address the issue, cause the issue is a nut job was able to shoot children. While guns may be the easiest answer, they do not solve the problem and what an injustice to hone in on an “answer” that doesn’t solve the issue. Where is the conversation on mental health, access to care, medications he was taking, ability to easily enter the school, the lack of emergency preparedness in schools?

We all wish life was black and white and answers are easy but they are not. Use the god given intelligence and your new education to discuss ALL the factors involved and maybe you might come by a different multifaceted solution.

— Jim (in response to Sarah V.)

Congratulations on showing yourself as a failure of the education system, Nathaniel. You clearly have never read the Constitution.

— Kevin Wos

Yes, you are correct, he did mention the freedom of speech/press, but no where in that amendment does it say “shall not be infringed upon.” This is what the Second Amendment says verbatim:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

As ratified by the states and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State: Do you see the comma after the word “state”? That comma stands for “and/or to include.” Your interpretation of the Second Amendment is tragically skewed, as is his. It says in simple English: “A STATE should have a well-trained military machine for its own safety and security AND the people have the RIGHT to keep and bear arms AND the GOVERNMENT shall NOT INFRINGE on these RIGHTS.”

F-bombs awayThe University of Arizona Police Department spoke with

a UA employee at 10:35 a.m. on Jan. 7 regarding a series of disturbances caused by a man in the University Services Building.

The employee first spoke with the man in November, when he contacted her office to arrange an appointment to enroll in UA classes through a veteran’s benefits loan program titled “VRAP.” After arriving 45 minutes late, the man became aggravated when he was told the appointment would be shortened because of his tardiness. He returned on Jan. 4 and tried to meet with the woman again, but she was on vacation.

“It’s only the holidays, and it’s two days. Why isn’t she here?” the man said, raising his voice. He then left the building.

Three days later he met with an employee who told him that he didn’t have the proper paperwork to be enrolled in classes. The man began “dropping F-bombs” and pounding the desk as the employee tried to calm him down.

“Where is my fucking baseball bat?” the man said before leaving University Services, saying he’d return.

He spoke with an employee on the phone following this incident. The employee started taking notes of the conversation when the man became irritated.

“I’ve been moved into an apartment next door to a meth dealer who I knew when I was 4, and we got into a fight because he tortures animals,” he said. “I have a cat right now with a missing hip because another neighbor kicked him. The constable is coming to my home to evict me because I haven’t gotten the money from VRAP to pay rent. I apologize for making anyone think I would hurt them, I am only carrying a baseball bat around because it’s sports equipment. You can’t tell me I can’t walk around carrying sports equipment; I’m 52 years old.”

The conversation was “uneasy and uncomfortable,” said the answering employee, who asked the man not to return to USB.

The employees who witnessed these events are not seeking further court proceedings, but they requested that the man not return unless for official business.

Speeding, spice, everything niceA man was arrested on a felony warrant from the Pima

County Sheriff ’s Office. He failed to appear in court on a weapons charge, triggering a $50,000 bail, at 2:55 p.m. on Jan. 8.

The man was identified when UAPD stopped him for speeding near Waverly Street and Campbell Avenue. A UAPD officer asked him to step out of his car, then handcuffed him, as his felony weapons warrant was verified.

He said a knife for work and “some potpourri” from a smoke shop were the only items of note in the car, before permitting the officer to search the vehicle.

Upon searching the car, the officer found two knives, brass knuckles and two small plastic containers containing “Legal Devil Potpourri,” a form of spice or synthetic marijuana.

The subject was then given a verbal warning for speeding before being transported and booked at Pima County Jail because of his outstanding warrant.

Five of Arizona’s first 14 games

were away from McKale Center , but only two were in enemy territory and both against teams out of the RPI Top 175 . That will change tonight as the No. 4 Wildcats travel to Eugene, Ore., to play Oregon at 7 p.m. in Matthew Knight Arena.

With three freshmen receiving significant minutes for Arizona (14-0, 2-0 Pac-12) , the hostile environment might be trouble for a team that struggled in its two opening games of Pac-12 play, despite the wins . Of course, Arizona also has several seniors, and for guard Mark Lyons , the road only adds more motivation.

“I relish moments like that,” Lyons said about playing in a hostile environment. “Good game or bad game, I know I’m going to be ready, I know our team’s going to be ready and I know we’re going in there with the right focus.”

In the two road games against Texas Tech and Clemson, Lyons shot 11-for-20 from the field and a perfect 8-for-8 from the free throw line. Against the Tigers , Lyons had eight second-half points and helped the Wildcats make a 26-5 run in the second half to come from behind and put Clemson away.

“I always like when people talk to me [from the crowd] and root against me,” Lyons said. “That’s the type of thing I grew up with — people doubting me and things like that. So

when people talk about my team on the road, you’re just giving me more fuel and my team more fuel to play hard and play together.”

Lyons doesn’t engage with the fans when they taunt and jeer him, but he said he still hears what they’re saying.

“When I make a good pass or when I score, it fuels me up,” Lyons said. “Every time they say something, I’m just like, ‘All right, you think that way? I’m going to prove you wrong.’”

Freshman center Kaleb Tarczewski said Lyons gives the team confidence on the road, and before the Texas Tech game, the senior transfer told the freshmen, “This is where the fun starts.”

“You need experience when you’re going into someone else’s home court,” Tarczewski said. “Everybody’s rooting against you, trying to get you motivated — it’s really a great feeling.”

Beating conference bottom-feeders is one thing, but tonight the Wildcats will face a team inside the RPI Top 50 that’s been on the verge of being ranked all season . Oregon (12-2, 1-0) has a balanced offense with five players scoring in double figures, and the team rebounds the ball better than the longer Wildcats.

“I think playing Oregon at Oregon will be one of the most difficult games in our conference, not just for us but any team,” head coach Sean Miller said. “No question they’re a really good team; that’s why they have the record that they have of 12-2. I believe that they’re going to be

in the conference race all the way to early March.”

The Ducks average 77.5 points a game and 41.1 rebounds a game , which puts them ahead of Arizona in both categories. The two teams are ranked 7th and 8th respectively in rebounding margin , and Miller said the winner around the glass will have a major advantage in the game.

However, Oregon’s top rebounder, senior Arsalan Kazemi, does more than grab 9.8 rebounds a game on a nightly basis. The 6-foot-7-inch Kazemi is 11th in the nation with 2.75 steals per game , giving the quick-handed transfer from Rice the most steals in the nation for a forward.

“If you have a guy on your team who averages double-figure rebounds and leads your conference in steals, that’s one exceptional player,” Miller said. “He’s impacted their success a great deal.”

This will be Arizona’s first-ever trip to the state-of-the-art Knight Arena and the Ducks’ peculiarly designed court. Miller said the design of the arena shouldn’t be an issue, and he won’t make any adjustments, like telling his players to avoid the tree shadows that are painted on the wood court.

Regardless of the design, the unwelcoming environment will be new for the Wildcats this season. But, Lyons isn’t fazed a bit.

“Just like every road game, you got to go in there with your team and know that it’s us versus everybody else,” he said. “That’s the mentality that we have, home or away.”

Arizona faces rare road test tonightKYLE JOHNSON

Arizona Daily Wildcat

LARRY HOGAN/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ARIZONA BASKETBALL FACES difficult road tests against Oregon tonight and Oregon State on Saturday.

The Arizona women’s basketball team (9-4, 1-1 Pac-12) will open its home conference schedule with a game Friday night against the Oregon State Beavers (6-8, 0-2 Pac-12).

The Wildcats are returning to Tucson after splitting their opening Pac-12 weekend series in Washington, defeating the Washington State Cougars 71-65 on Friday but losing to Washington 76-65 on Sunday.

In both games, five Arizona players scored in double digits, but the Wildcats were outrebounded by both opponents as well.

Even though the Beavers are sitting near the bottom of the conference, Oregon State is the number one shot-blocking and third best rebounding team in the Pac-12, averaging 45.3 rebounds per game.

Led by freshman guard Jamie Weisner and junior guard Alyssa Martin, the Beavers are looking to get their first conference win after being swept by USC and No. 16 UCLA at home this weekend.

Like in this season, the two teams only played each other once last year, and the Wildcats defeated the Beavers in Corvallis, Ore., 58-56 on a game-winning jump shot by junior forward Erica Barnes.

Oregon State may be a strong rebounding team, but it has struggled to replace its top four scorers, who graduated after last season. The Beavers are averaging

the fewest points per game (59.8) in the conference and are also the worst free throw-shooting team in the Pac-12, making 61 percent of their shots from the free throw line.

Arizona’s senior captain, Davellyn Whyte, has led the Wildcats on the court so far this season, averaging 16 points, 5.3 rebounds, and five assists per game. She is currently in the top four in the conference for points, assists and three-point field goals per game (2.62). Additionally, Whyte is currently the active Pac-12 career leader in points with 1,739.

Junior forwards Barnes and Alli Gloyd have made contributions this season as well. The two combine for 21.2 points and 12.5 rebounds per game.

Unlike in the second half of last season, the Wildcats will have forward Cheshi Poston in their rotation.

Poston’s presence down low has been effective this season. The 6-foot-2-inch senior has 17 blocks and since Poston replaced Barnes in the starting rotation on Nov. 24, both have seen an increase in production.

Friday will be the first of two consecutive home games for the Wildcats. On Sunday, Arizona will host the Oregon Ducks before it’s off to Utah to start its longest road trip of the season at four games.

UA women start home conference schedule

After having the best first year as Arizona’s head coach in program history, with eight wins and a bowl victory on Dec. 15, Rich Rodriguez will have to make do with three fewer members of his coaching staff in 2013.

On Wednesday, Arizona Athletics announced that Tony Gibson, an assistant head coach, safeties coach and defensive special teams coach , will be leaving the Wildcats, making him the third coach in the last three weeks to leave for a job elsewhere.

Offensive line coach Robert Anae was hired as BYU’s offensive coordinator on Jan. 4 ; Spencer Leftwich, the tight ends and offensive special teams coach , took a position with UTEP as the assistant head coach and offensive

line coach on Dec. 20. Leftwich’s son is also a member of the team.

Gibson is returning to West Virginia as the cornerbacks’ coach on Dana Holgorsen’s staff, according to West Virginia Metro News.

The move comes as a bit of a surprise, considering Gibson’s long history with Rodriguez.

Gibson played for Rodriguez at Glenville State when Rodriguez was head coach there, and then coached the defensive backs for him there in 1996 .

When Rodriguez became the head coach at WVU in 2001 , Gibson joined him as a defensive backs coach and recruiting coordinator and remained there for the duration of Rodriguez’s 7-year tenure.

When Rodriguez went to Michigan, Gibson followed.

In his one year at the UA,

Gibson worked primarily with the “Spur” and “Bandit” safeties, which included starters Tra’Mayne Bondurant and Jared Tevis and backups Wayne Capers Jr. , Patrick Onwuasor and Blake Brady .

Of those five players, three are juniors (Bondurant, Tevis, Brady) and two sophomores (Onwuasor and Capers Jr.), and the collective inexperience was a factor in Arizona’s mediocre pass defense in 2012.

The Wildcats allowed an average of 292.9 passing yards per game, ranked 117th in the nation, although West Virginia was even worse with an average of 312.5 per game and 118th ranking.

It is unclear who Rodriguez will replace Gibson or Anae with, but he has already promoted assistant director of football operations Charlie Ragle to replace Leftwich as the new tight ends coach.

Arizona Daily Wildcat • 7Sports • Thursday, January 10, 2013

Wildcat hockey is on the verge of making its first national tournament appearance in years, and it has many chances to bolster its resumé this semester.

“Our schedule is difficult this whole second half,” head coach Sean Hogan said. “We’re playing all ranked opponents. The good thing about that is being a bubble team, we control our destiny, so win some games and we’re in.”

After years of playing schedules loaded with Division II teams, this year the Wildcats upgraded their schedule, especially in the spring semester.

Junior goalie Steven Sisler thinks the Wildcats can compete with the highly ranked teams and go to nationals.

“We definitely have a difficult schedule this year, but our team is getting better and better each year,” Sisler said.

This semester, No. 18 Arizona (13-11-0) will play No. 3 ASU four times , twice on the road and twice at home.

The Wildcats also face No. 4 Minot State twice on the road, No. 6 Oklahoma twice at home, No. 10 Liberty twice at home and twice on the road and No. 18 Central

Oklahoma once at home.“We need to get at least one win

every weekend or our hopes of going to the national tournament are pretty much squashed,” senior forward Brian Slugocki said.

From 1983 to 2003 , Arizona never finished lower than eighth at the national tournament, but since then the team has only made it once, in

2005-06 .“Whether we go in as a two seed

or a 16 seed, it doesn’t matter,” Hogan said.

Twenty teams make the national tournament , which is mostly determined by rankings, but some automatic qualifying conference champions are not expected to be ranked in the top 20.

Right now there are two leagues not in the top 20, so No. 18 would be good enough, but if No. 11 Navy doesn’t win its league, that takes up another spot, Hogan said.

“To be completely safe, we need to be at 16,” Hogan said.

The Wildcats are ranked No. 18 and No. 14 in the computer rankings, but it is the human polls that decide

who plays in the postseason.Sisler, with a 9-10 record , 3.37

goals against average and a 0.89 save percentage, leads the team in the net .

Offensively, the Wildcats rely on three players to do most of the scoring: junior forward Ansel Ivens-Anderson , who has 17 goals and 18 assists , junior forward Andrew Murmes, who has 12 goals and 22 assists , and Slugocki, who has 16 goals and 17 assists .

“The first half was actually pretty good. We had 13 wins, as much as we had all of last year, with a much more difficult schedule,” Hogan said.

Arizona has five wins against teams currently in the top 12 .

“It is surprising,” Sisler said about the rankings. “It’s kind of frustrating at times, because we still have to earn everyone’s acceptance that we’re not just a top 25 team anymore, we’re actually a top 15, top 10 team now.”

Slugocki said it is “tough to say” if he is surprised that Arizona isn’t ranked higher because while the Wildcats have big wins, they also lost to teams they should have beaten.

“We just need to make sure everybody is focused for the next five weeks and if we do that, I definitely think we can make it to the nationals,” Slugocki said.

Wildcats control own destiny in final pushJAMES KELLEY

Arizona Daily Wildcat

No. 6 Arizona women’s swim and dive team sprang back into action last Friday, sweeping Oregon State, New Mexico State and Northern Arizona at Hillenbrand Aquatic Center.

The team returned to the pool after more than a month of rest, earning first place finishes in every event and dominating the competition. The Wildcats improved to an 8-2 record in dual meets for the season.

“It was really exciting to excel this weekend,” junior Kait Flederbach said. “We set the tone early and were able to carry it throughout the meet. I’m looking forward to seeing more people continue to work hard and qualify

for NCAA championships this spring.”

Flederbach contributed to Arizona’s victory, placing first in the 50y freestyle and 400y freestyle relay with times of 23.37 and 3:26.34 , respectively.

“We have been performing really well so far,” senior breaststroker Chelsey Salli said. “Compared to where we were at this point last year, I think we are in a much better place. We have done more work, and I think it’s going to pay off at our big meets coming up.”

During the most recent meet, Salli earned a pair of first place finishes in the 100y and 200y breaststroke events. With the end of her swimming career just a few months away, Salli was determined to contribute to Arizona’s cause.

“It’s always exciting to win,”

Salli said. “Swimming is all about getting your hand on the wall first, regardless of the meet. This semester I’m looking forward to supporting everyone while taking advantage of the team atmosphere as I close out my swimming career.”

Arizona’s men are ranked No. 3 , and have enjoyed a great deal of success this season. Sophomore breaststroker Kevin Cordes had a sensational winter and was recently named the Pac-12 Swimmer of the Month for the second month in a row.

“It was a huge honor,” Cordes said. “It’s great swimming for the Pac-12. There are so many great athletes and swimmers; it’s truly special to be recognized like that.”

Cordes astounded fans this November as he set American records in the 100y and 200y

breaststroke events and traveled to Istanbul, Turkey, to accompany his coach to the FINA World Swimming Championships.

“I was really impressed with Kevin [overseas],” head coach Eric Hansen said. “He performed really well and was a pleasure and really fun to work with. Our big focus is about March [and making NCAA cuts]. It’s great that he is being recognized for what he has done, but he knows that the road is far from over this season.”

Cordes won a bronze medal for his performance in the 100y breaststroke event, compiling a time of 57.83 and earning himself his first career medal in international competition. He followed his performance with a first place finish in the 4x100m medley relay, earning a split of

57.15 in a total time of 3:21.03. “It was a great experience,”

Cordes said. “It was my first international tournament, and it was nothing like I have ever experienced before; swimming with the greatest swimmers in the world. It was fun being up on the podium and dealing with interviews and press conferences afterwards. It was a crazy experience.”

The Wildcats cruise into conference play this weekend, traveling to Los Angeles for the Bruin Invitational and then returning home to host Cal and Stanford in a dual meet starting on Jan. 25.

“I think we are in control of our own destiny, and that is the way we want it,” Hansen said. “I’m looking forward to March.”

BRIANA SANCHEZ/ARIZONA DAILY WILDCAT ARIZONA HOCKEY IS a few wins short of being considered for the national postseason tournament, a feat it has not accomplished since the 2005-2006 season.
