Here's what's new on StarNet, the online service of the Arizona Daily Star: Man sees self in sketch, surrenders to UA police A man turned himself in to the University of Arizona Police Department after seeing himself in a police sketch yesterday. The sketch was circulated after a man walked into a women's shower facility Sunday at the Apache Residence Hall on campus. http://www.azstarnet.com/crime House fire kills South Side couple An elderly couple died after they were overcome by smoke in a South Side house fire early yesterday. http://www.dailystar.com/dailystar/metro/fri.html Olson surprised UA picked No. 1 LOS ANGELES - Lute Olson is not often one to sandbag. If his UA basketball team is good enough to win the Pac-10, he usually will not disguise it. But when the conference announced yesterday that the Wildcats were picked to win the title in its annual conference poll, Olson had to question it. http://wildcats.azstarnet.com $1M stolen at Foothills home Sheriff's detectives are investigating the second million-dollar burglary this fall after discovering that antique furniture, artwork and a silver 2002 Lexus were stolen from a Foothills home apparently while it was unoccupied but armed with a security alarm. It's quite a contrast from September's million-dollar burglary, when the thief entered the home through an unlocked door and made off with jewelry and cash while the resident was asleep. http://www.azstarnet.com Varsity Game of the Week Catch a live webcast of tonight's Catalina Foothills vs. Amphitheater game on StarNet starting at 7 p.m. Also, bring your radio to the game and listen to the webcast live on Radio StarNet, a low-power broadcast at 102.8 FM. http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/preps Stars & horses are her subjects Robert Redford grinned handsomely as he galloped across his property in Sundance, Utah, while photographer Linda Solomon tried to keep it together. Richard Gere's appaloosa bucked and made her a little bit nervous as she snapped away with her camera. Kim Novak's Haflinger, Hunka Hunka, chased Solomon around a green pasture and tried to lick her, like a dog would. Those candid moments are the heart and soul of the celebrity photographer's new book, "People We Know, Horses They Love" (Rodale, $39.95). http://www.dailystar.com/dailystar/accent/fri.html Roush has advantage in Chase for Championship LOS ANGELES - With three races to go, the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series Chase for the Championship has turned into a four-car, two-team race. In one corner is Roush Racing, with Chase leader Kurt Busch and series curmudgeon Mark Martin. In the other is Hendrick Motorsports, the sentimental favorite, with Jimmie Johnson, who has won three consecutive races, and four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon. http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/racing Track Talk: Look out, Phoenix, here I come Check out Track Talk by StarNet's Jaynelle Ramon.
