UA, Banner recieve $43 million NIH grant The five year grant aims to improve health and treat disease as a part of President Barack Obama’s Precision Medicine Initiative Cohort Program.
BY AMANDA OIEN @amanda_oien
The National Institutes of Health has given the UA Health Sciences and Banner Health over $43 million in the form of a research grant to partake in the Precision Medicine Initiative Cohort Program, which was proposed by President Barack Obama in his 2015 State of the Union address. The program, called PMI-CP,
is a revolutionary approach to “prevention and treatment based on people’s individual differences in environment, genes and lifestyle,” according to the NIH website. The NIH grant, totaling $43.3 million over five years, aims to improve health and treat disease as a part of Obama’s Precision Medicine Initiative. With the PMI, doctors and researchers across the U.S. will

work to bridge the gap between patients and carefully designed medicine. Current medical treatments have not been tailored to a specific patient, but rather a one-size-fits-all approach, according to the NIH website. PMI-CP plans to recruit one million U.S. research participants who will share biological samples, genetic data, diet and lifestyle information that will then be linked to their personal electronic
health records, according to the NIH. The NIH is confident that through a massive database, researchers will be able to develop exact treatments for diseases and conditions. “Over the next five years, we’re going to recruit 150,000 individuals to this Precision Medicine Initiative,” said Dr. Joe

Drive hammered, get nailed On July 10 at approximately 2:30 a.m., a University of Arizona Police Department officer was driving along Speedway Boulevard between Campbell Avenue and Cherry Avenue. The UAPD officer noticed a car driving in front of the officer’s vehicle at an estimated speed of 55 mph. Once the vehicle turned on to Mountain Avenue, the officer noticed that the vehicle did not have its head lights on. The officer then pulled over the driver—a 20 year old male UA student. The officer noticed the student had breath smelling of intoxicants, slightly slurred speech and red and watery eyes, according to the police report. When the officer asked if the student had consumed any alcohol, the student hesitated but then admitted he had consumed two or three shots of vodka. The officer conducted a field sobriety test and a breath test concluding that the UA student was intoxicated. He then placed the student under arrest.

The man seemed disorientated and was unable to answer any questions, according to UAPD. The officers called Tucson Fire Department paramedics to check the man’s physical condition.

AzCRH recieves grant to help rural hospitals BY NICK JOHNSON @DailyWildcat
Arizona’s Center for Rural Health, located at the UA, was recently awarded a three-year $348,000 grant by Health Resources and Services Administration to support the Arizona Small Rural Hospital Improvement Grant Program The grant program aims to help rural hospitals facilitate quality improvement, develop and implement programs using shared savings activities and improve financial performance. “The fiscal challenge rural hospitals face is really because these hospitals provide a lot of uncompensated care,” said Daniel Derksen M.D., AzCRH director. “Patients that come to their emergency department—or are admitted to their hospital—don’t have health insurance, so they end up doing a lot of charity care.” Last year a hospital in Douglas, Arizona, was forced to close, causing 60 people to lose their jobs and forcing patients to drive farther to receive medical care. Derksen said last summer
he testified in front of the congressional Ways and Means Committee about Medicare and Medicaid payment policies that affect rural hospitals. “On my way I got a call from the Douglas hospital saying that they would have to close their doors,” Derksen said. “Unfortunately we weren’t able to help them, but I was able to use them as an example while testifying, explaining to Congress that if we don’t pay attention to issues in federal policies such as Medicare and state policies combined [with] federal policies like Medicaid, then we’re making it very hard for these hospitals to stay open.” The grant, which aims to aid 13 hospitals in rural areas, will help facilitate health system reforms like value-based purchasing programs, accountable care organizations and payment bundling. All of the hospitals except two are federally designated critical access hospitals, which means

Point Foundation, the nation’s largest higher education lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning scholarship provider, has named two UA doctoral students Point Scholarship recipients. Mel Ferrara, a gender and women’s studies graduate student student who identifies as non-binary and Ian Ellasante, an American Indian studies graduate student with a minor in gender and women’s studies, are the first UA students to ever receive the scholarship. The Point Foundation, which has awarded over 300 scholarship awards to members of the LGTBQ community and invested over $18 million since 2001, chose 22 students from across the nation to makeup the 2016 cohort. “I’m very thankful because it’s an incredible opportunity and it’s nice to hear that the work I’m doing is on track and making a difference,” Ferrara said. Ferrara, who attended Muhlenberg College, began their queer studies and advocacy work in 2011 when they co-founded the college’s first Trans Advocacy Coalition. Ferrara said their research interests are in trans and intersex studies and the medicalization of the body. “I think that intersex is an area of queer studies and queer activism that sometimes gets dropped off,” Ferrara said. “There’s now a rise of trans stuff in terms of mainstream LGBTQ, but even more so intersex is often not even talked about at all.” With the Point Foundation, each scholar is given a mentor to offer support and guidance. They are also required to complete a community engagement project each year. “Point really tries to create a community that extends the life of the scholarship, so even after scholars graduate and go into their respective careers they still have friends and community from the Point family,” Ferrara said. Ellasante said it’s nice to be plugged into a supportive community full of LGBTQ change makers from across the country. “It’s a huge honor to be chosen, and it matters that there’s recognition out there for those of us who are out in the LGBTQ community,” Ellasante said. Ellasante, who has been working in the

The 2016 class of Point Foundation Scholars: • 50 percent represent racial and ethnic groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education. • 41 percent identify as transgender or gender nonconforming. • 36 percent are the first in their family to go to college. • All the scholars come from 17 states and three countries. Tucson community for over eight years, hopes to continue raising awareness about the disparities LGBTQ youth face as a Point scholar. “Despite the strides that have been made in the last few decades, there’s still a lot of stigma and oppression for those of us

impoverished informant Susan Smith, who will be played by “Game of Thrones’” Emilia Clarke. In a poverty-stricken, crimeridden eastern Kentucky town, Putnam and Smith begin an affair, ultimately resulting in Smith’s murder during an altercation in which she confronts Putnam with the news that she is pregnant
with his child. Sharkey said he hoped to shed light on the consequences of the FBI’s use of paid informants, as well as the effects of poverty in the region. “I wanted people to have an understanding of this kind of abject dystopian poverty in an environment like eastern Kentucky,” Sharkey said, adding that the book pushed the FBI to reform its policies regarding informants. Sharkey initially feared the

they are located more than 35 miles from another hospital and house fewer than 25 beds. Many states have designated offices for rural health, and have state agencies which help support those rural hospitals. In Arizona, though, there is no designated state agency—instead, the AzCRH operates within the UA’s Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health. Bryna Koch, a public health doctoral student and special projects coordinator at the AzCRH said they are currently working to ensure these rural hospitals provide high quality care. “I think it’s important for the state to help out these rural hospitals if the government has the money for it,” said Diego Garcia, a physiology freshman. Garcia said healthcare in rural areas is something that not a lot of people think about.
film would reduce the characters to “two-bit criminals.” “The book was published 23 years ago and it’s finally being made into a movie,” Sharkey said, “and I was delighted to know that, but I was skeptical about whether they’d be able to make a movie out of what—to me—was a psychologically complex book.” Sharkey said his first reading of the screenplay raised concerns because the adaptation had yet to capture the complexity of the characters, particularly in
“This program really tries to support rural hospitals so that they can make quality improvements,” Koch said. “They collect quality improvement data and use that data to check their progress and identify areas where they still need to improve.” A total of 76 rural hospitals across the U.S. have been forced to close their doors, according to the University of North Carolina Rural Health Research Program. Koch said program participants really just want to make sure that people in rural areas have access to equal health care compared to anyone else in the state. A number of students from the UA who work in public health will be making presentations alongside the AzCRH at the 43rd annual Arizona Rural Health Conference, taking place July 26 to 27. The conference hopes to engage health care providers, academics, community health professionals, administrators, state and local leaders, CEOs and CFOs in a statewide discussion about rural heath.
Smith’s case. “I read the screenplay, and frankly, I thought it needed a lot of work,” he said. As a consultant on the film, Sharkey has been able to use his notes and interview transcripts to inform the screenplay and clarify the depth of the characters. Sharkey said the efforts of the director and actors, with the addition of his insight, helped ensure the movie would accurately portray the book. A visit to the film’s set in Kentucky earlier this month also helped ease his concerns about the character’s depictions. “I absolutely believe that this is going to be a true movie and not just do the book justice, but do the characters justice,” Sharkey said. Sharkey particularly praised Clarke’s understanding of her character. “She just nailed it,” Sharkey said. “She ran away with the movie and the character—she made that character her own.” “Above Suspicion” is the first of Sharkey’s books to hit the big screen, but it may not be the last. Nancy Sharkey, Sharkey’s wife of 34 years and UA journalism professor of practice, said her husband has two other non-fiction books that have been optioned by Hollywood producers. “He’s got some other works that are just as good that will also make good movies,” she said. “I’m hoping this may help unlock some of that.” She attributes her husband’s

who are LGBTQ,” he said. “It’s important for there to be national organizations at the forefront affirming our identities and helping us know that the work we do and the way that we live our lives—honestly and openly and with integrity as out LGBTQ people—is valued.” Ellasante, who began working at Arizona’s first drop-in center for LGBTQ youth in 2008, currently works for the UA Southwest Institute for Research on Women, coordinating programs designed to benefit unstably housed LGBTQ young adults. “I look at the people I work with— unstably housed LGBTQ young adults— and I know that they have so much in terms of resilience and the integrity to live their lives just as they are without hiding and trying to disguise the fact that they are LGBTQ, and I have so much
success as a reporter to his research and narrative skills. She said he also brings his experiences as a reporter into his teaching. Danielle Fork, a journalism senior, praised Sharkey’s teaching skills and said he treats his students like his own children. As a student in Sharkey’s Advanced Reporting class last year, Fork said Sharkey gave his students constant updates on the movie’s proceedings and she is happy to see it coming to fruition. “It was kind of cool because we got to see the whole thing unfold with him,” Fork said.

admiration,” he said. Ellasante said that admiration fuels his work in trying to break down hierarchies while also affirming LGBTQ young adults. Both Ferrara and Ellasante have interests in merging scholarship and advocacy with their work and are looking forward to collaboration that comes with having two Point scholars at the same school. “I think our specific area work definitely has overlaps because [Ellasante is] working with queer homeless populations and queer youth, and I’m largely centered in healthcare and queer access to healthcare and inclusion,” Ferrara said. “Obviously when we’re looking at issues of access, homeless populations and queer populations are some of the most disadvantaged groups.” Ellasante said he’s excited to see what it looks like for him and Ferrara, as well as the others in their cohort during and after their degrees.

the Dr. Merlin K. DuVal Professor of Medicine and an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine. Garcia said with the UA and Banner partnership they plan to recruit from all over the Southwest, Alaska and Wyoming. “Over the last three years, [University of Arizona Health Sciences] has built really strong programs in population health,” Garcia said. He added that there were three components that were major factors for why the UA and Banner were selected to be one of the award recipients: The new center for population health, a new center for precision medicine and a strong focus on health disparities. Dr. Elizabeth Calhoun, associate vice president of population health sciences and executive director of the Health Sciences Center for Population Science and Discovery at the UA, is one of the three program leaders for the UA-Banner PMI-CP. “We want to accelerate our knowledge around what works better for various subpopulations,” Calhoun said. Calhoun said, for example,
Caucasian women are more likely to develop breast cancer, while black women die from breast cancer at twice the rate. “That is a health disparity,” Calhoun said. “In order to improve that, we can’t just improve outcomes across all populations. You have to improve the rate in various subpopulations in order to see a market difference in those disparities.” Calhoun said reaching out to a diverse amount of individuals and encouraging them to participate in research is not only vital to the success of the UA-Banner PMI-CP, but could also be one of biggest challenges. “We need to create a culture that people want to participate in, in order to improve the health of their population,” she said. “It’s not just for themselves, but their families and for generations to come. We’ve got to get not just young people, not just healthy people, but all walks of life to participate and want to be a part of it.” Dr. Robert Groves, vice president of health management and chief medical officer of the Banner – University Medicine Division, is one of the other program leaders. “There’s a tremendous opportunity at Banner because of the population of individuals that we serve across the state,” Groves said. “It’s a great partnership because it allows us to leverage our respective strengths.”

step in the evolution,” Groves said. “Our hope and our goals are to be the best in the country at actually populating this database.” With such strong Latino and Native
American communities in Arizona, Garcia said it only made sense for UA and Banner Health to be chosen. “It’s a tremendous advantage that we are so diverse,” Garcia said.

This season: Vote local BY JACKSON MORRISON @DailyWildcat
I
t is far more important to become an informed voter in local and state elections than it is to become one for federal elections. With the election circus in full swing, it is not uncommon to hear and engage in discussions about who will be, or who you wish will be the next president of the United States. With the primary elections over, Donald Trump clinching the Republican nomination and Hillary Clinton being the presumptive Democratic nominee, partisan politics has taken hold again. Our democratic system has once again turned into one party vs. the other and with a larger-than-life candidate like Donald Trump, it is entertaining to watch. We should follow our local elections closer than we follow national elections. Ignoring the fact that the presidential election won’t be held for another four-and-a-half months and any number of things could change between now and then, we as individuals hold little-to-no sway over national election results. We are commonly told that every vote matters, that it is important to vote for the president of the United States of America—the reality is that these are comforting lies we tell ourselves. Our individual vote only matters if our state would have tied without it— or if our vote would cause a tie—and our state’s electorate was able to shift which candidate won the presidency. Given the size of the electorate, these are unlikely odds. According to Andrew Gelman,
Don’t forget the human element of medicine BY TAYLA JAFFE @Taylaj4
H ALI ALZEEN / THE DAILY WILDCAT
Nate Silver and Aaron Edlin’s paper published in the journal Economic Inquiry, “What is the probability your vote will make a difference?”, the national odds for a single person’s vote to be relevant in deciding a national election, is 1:60 million. In swing states where it is commonly believed that an individual vote is more impactful, the election odds are only 1:10 million. It becomes clear that any one of our votes in a national election realistically won’t change the result of that election. According to Casey B. Mulligan and Charles G. Hunter, there has never been a U.S. election decided by a single vote.
This raises the question of should we even bother voting at all. The answer is: Yes, we should, but in our local elections. Given the size of the national electorate it is virtually impossible for one of our votes to decide the president, but for local elections your odds are substantially higher. In the same study done by Casey Mulligan and Charles Hunter they found that there have been seven state legislators who have won by one vote, two state legislative elections which have tied and one U.S. congressional campaign who won by only a single vote. Not only do you have a larger influence on your state and local

election than you do in a national election, but state and local elections also have a greater influence on you. It is the job of our congressmen and senators to pass legislation we believe in and to secure funding for our state. Our mayor and state legislators have a far greater degree of influence on the day-to-day lives of local Tucson citizens than the president ever will. I implore you to not only become informed about the policies of candidates on a national level, but to also take time to become informed about our upcoming Arizona primary election, which will occur on August 30 and remember to participate in all elections, not just the nationals ones.
umans are not items on a conveyor belt; therefore we should not be treated as though we are. One of the industries that seems to be most guilty of labeling people as numbers rather than people is the world of healthcare. Personally, I have had the displeasure of enduring a myriad doctors visits where the doctor was in the room for all of three minutes, allowing no time for questions, comments, or clarifications. Of course, this makes sense from the doctor’s point of view— the faster each patient visit goes, the more patients that can be seen in one day and the higher the day’s profit will be. But is profit really the entire goal of healthcare? It’s undeniable that a comfortable salary is one of the enticing factors for choosing a career in healthcare, but there ought to at least be some sort of desire to help others and improve their quality of life— right? I have wanted to become a

pediatrician for as long as I can remember. As I’ve grown up, I’ve encountered more and more doctors who could care less about the individual patient and only concern themselves with the bigger picture. I’ve become increasingly motivated to pursue this career because I know how annoying it is to be treated as a number, and I know I could ensure that none of my patients ever felt that way. An entirely comfortable salary is achievable without having to rush through every patient. The difference in money made granting patients three minutes of time and granting a patient 10 minutes of time is not immense—the doctor will still be able to put food on his or her family’s table, guaranteed. I’ve also noticed a pattern of dismissive attitudes that many doctors have towards younger patients. Patients under 25 who have any sort of complaint are often dismissed as “dramatic” or “too sensitive”—especially young female patients with older male doctors, at least in the case of my experience. These patients are oftentimes
Opinions • Wednesday, July 20-Tuesday, July 26, 2016 encouraged to ignore symptoms that could, in reality, be indicative of a real issue. Visiting the doctor is usually a stress-inducing experience for most people, as it often means there are concerns about one’s health and well-being. It should be the healthcare provider’s job to ease these concerns, take the time to listen to the issues being voiced and ultimately make the patient feel as though their worries matter and will be tended to. I recently got my wisdom teeth removed and the dentist — who also happens to be a doctor — literally slid into the operating room on a swivel chair, skidded to a stop next to my chair and poised his needle-armed hand above my mouth. No “hello,” no “how are you,” no “are you ready,” no “any questions on what to expect before we start”. He was in the room for 10 minutes, pulled all four teeth and walked out. That was it. At the risk of slightly overdramatizing the situation, it felt a bit dehumanizing. I was already anxious about the removal of my teeth, and he sure didn’t help that.

students at peak times of the year, and those are the times when it is most vital for the doctors and nurses to be reminded that humans are humans, with emotions and worries that matter, and thus, we must each be treated as such.
In my very limited experience with Campus Health, I’ve not walked out with that feeling of being treated as a number. So as far as I know, they are not as guilty of such a disservice. I could, however, see it being difficult to handle the quantity of

Science on the road: A trip through Petrified Forest National Park BY NATALIE ROBBINS @ Natpatat11
“Do you have any rocks or minerals in the car with you?” asked the park ranger. “Yes, a geode and piece of petrified wood that we purchased at the gift shop,” my father said. “Is it wrapped up?” the ranger asked. It was. “You are good to go! Have a nice visit,” he said. Our trip through the Petrified Forest National Park had begun. The Petrified Forest National Park sits along what was Route 66 in northeastern Arizona. The towns leading up to the park play on their ancient origins with dinosaur statues and gift shops all advertising petrified wood for sale. The park itself began as a national monument. It was designated as a national park on Dec. 9, 1962 and was recently expanded under the Bush administration. In it’s early beginnings, the park was even frequented by conservationist John Muir. In its present form, the Petrified Forest is home to historic monuments, fossilized plants and animals and a vast expanse of petrified wood. As we drive further inside the park, I read over the visitor’s guide. Over the years, vast majorities of people have illegally removed petrified wood from the park. With stories about the removal of the wood, people began to believe that the park was disappearing. Even without the petrified wood that had been removed up until now, the Petrified Forest is still strewn with the substance, telling the story of a much different climate than today. Around the park there are more than a dozen lookout vistas and hiking trails, as well as off-the-beaten-path hiking trails. We decided to undertake an off-the-beaten hike to the Onyx Bridge, a 30-foot long petrified log from the Triassic period. Our hike takes us down into a canyon where we follow a small desert wash toward the Onyx Bridge. Along the way, man-made rock piles
known as cairns help us confirm that we are on the right path. Each piece of petrified wood we walk past looks like a redwood tree that has just fallen to the ground and been chopped up by a lumberjack. When you touched it though, it was hard as a rock, with noticeable crystals within. Each tree we pass is a fossilized skeleton of a climate past, one that saw other towering coniferous trees and pond ecosystems. Groundwater helped transport silica into the pores of the wood, creating a hard rock out of the once-soft wood. Each color within the fossilized wood represents a different mineral. Most of the petrified wood has a hint of red in it, indicating the presence of the mineral hematite. Magnetic, pure iron gives some wood its green coloring. White crystals in the wood are formed from pure silica, a mineral created from silicon and oxygen. At this point, the petrified wood is rock, not wood. The wood was permanently mineralized when silica replaced the wood, preserving its rings and appearance. The logs you can see today have been exposed after years of erosion. To get to the Onyx Bridge, you have to cross a huge wash called the Lithodendron Wash. Walking across it is reminiscent of walking on a beach. It feels like at any minute the wash may spring to life with water, although there is not a cloud in sight. We finally arrive at the bridge. The length of it is staggering. It is hard to imagine a tree like this existed in this desert environment. Hiking back up the canyon from the bridge, we survey the wood that litters the inside of the canyon. Nature has found a way to provide a glimpse into the past through geology. We drive out of the park and the ranger again asks us if we have any rocks or minerals in the car with us. We have nothing but the geode and petrified wood we have purchased from the gift shop. The rock forest is still plentiful for more generations to see.

New UA prof-led initiative looks at climate change and extinctions
BY BAILEY BELLAVANCE @WCbellavance
The UA is no stranger to researching climate change, but a new professor-led environmental initiative looks to analyze something more. The project, called Spatial Planning for Protected Areas in Response to Climate Change, looks at both climate issues and extinctions. Brian Enquist, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology, just joined a team of international scientists working to teach countries how to avoid climate changeinduced extinctions. Global Environment Facility—which helps to address and fund environmental problems around the globe—funds the project, while Conversation International—which helps to protect the world’s natural resources— manages it. SPARC will model climate change responses from more than 100,000 species based on large sets of data to plan for effective conservation in response to climate change. The species at hand come from mostly from tropical regions on three separate continents. Changing climates have already triggered movement of both species and entire ecosystems, sometimes forcing them to cross borders. Every species and ecosystem is unique in its climactic tolerances, though, so the responses are different. Species already move to follow their ideal climate, but the team working on SPARC will use information from scientists around
the globe to estimate the movement of these species by modeling the effects of climate change on tropical plants and animals. Models of plant and animal movement will allow everyone from scientists to conservationists (and even the government) to locate regions that could preserve biodiversity, if protected. In the long run, this will build a network of protected regions that work to reduce climate-induced extinctions, as well as provide clean water and tourism opportunities. According to Enquist, the project is the first of its kind, as current global-scale conservation efforts have mainly focused on biodiversity hotspots— small areas of the globe with a large percentage of species. These efforts haven’t focused on shifts in biodiversity hot spots, though, because determining the ranges of thousands of species isn’t plausible. SPARC is aiming to change that idea. The project aims to lessen the difference between current areas of conservation and areas that will become necessary for species protection in South American, Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeastern Asia. According to Patrick Roehrdanz, managing scientist from Conservation International for SPARC, tropical ecosystems are especially sensitive to climate changes and from human activity, so it’s important now more than ever to put protected areas in the right places to prevent extinctions. Enquist and team, thanks to a grant from the National Science Foundation, will use CyVerse, a data management platform at the

BIO5 Institute to conduct the project. CyVerse, launched in 2008, was originally only used to provide computational infrastructure for plant science, but after receiving a renewal grant in 2013, the platform expanded to provide data management for all of the life sciences. The scientists working on SPARC will be able to utilize CyVerse’s supercomputing powers
to scale up their models and forecast how hundreds of thousands of species will respond to a changing climate. The models will create a visualization of species distribution in light of climate change.
UA remembers professor Roger Haar
BY NATALIE ROBBINS AND BAILEY BELLAVANCE
@DailyWildcat
Prominent UA physics laboratory manager and professor Roger Haar was taken off life support on Monday following a bicycle accident on July 11. Haar, who was set to retire in August, started working for the UA department of physics in 1994. He was in charge of lab instruction for all undergraduate students taking physics courses, deciding which experiments would be done, testing instruments and training graduate assistants who taught the physics labs. “The number of
undergraduate students who were directly affected by his instruction on a given semester I would say would exceed 1,000,” said Sumit Mazumdar, physics department head and professor. Students said that Haar loved what he taught and was knowledgeable about the labs that he managed. Former UA environmental science student Jenny Quijada also recalled that Haar once said “people who don’t ride bikes are just grumpy.” Mazumdar said that since the physics department is small, Haar became like family to the department during his time there. “In many cases I am aware
that when the Ph.D. students come back to visit us, they made it a point of seeing [Haar],” Mazumdar said. Although he could have retired in June, Haar chose to stay on for the summer to help train his successor. “…We had wanted a certain amount of overlap between the new [lab manager] and Roger so that new person could learn everything about his job requirements from Roger,” Mazumdar said. “So it was to help us out that Roger agreed to postpone his retirement.” Haar was dedicated to his job and the physics department and will be missed throughout the UA and Tucson community.

Expect the expected from ‘Mike and Dave’ BY ALEC KUHENLE @throwmeanallie
People tend to love it when Hollywood can slap a "based on a true story" tag at the beginning of a movie. Films such as “Schindler’s List” and “127 Hours” resonate as some of the more compelling films of their respective times. Now, “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates," joins that list. Well, kind of. The new film stars Zac Efron and Adam Devine as Dave and Mike, respectively, two brothers whose parents tell them they need to bring dates to their sister’s wedding in Hawaii. Mike and Dave's parents hope that the boys' dates will prevent the brothers from acting too foolish and ruining the wedding. So, Mike and Dave decide to find dates
by posting an ad online. Their ad goes viral and leads to the brothers appearing on "The Wendy Williams Show", where Alice, played by Anna Kendrick, and Tatiana, played by Aubrey Plaza, see them and learn about the ad. This entices Alice and Tatiana to conjure up a scheme to make sure they get chosen as the wedding dates. The plan works, and the four set off for Hawaii where a slew of R-rated comedy shenanigans ensues. This all sounds pretty typical for an adult summer comedy, but the interesting thing about this film is that it was apparently based on a true story. Key word: based. Mike and Dave really do exist, and they really did post an ad online seeking dates for their sister’s wedding, which really did go viral and lead to television appearances for the two
brothers. As pure comedic escapism, this film works pretty well. The four leads have balanced comedic chemistry and the script gives each actor his or her time to shine. Efron and Kendrick have believable romantic chemistry and mesh together very well. Devine and Plaza also develop solid onscreen interactions but not quite as delighting as the former. Unfortunately, a lot of unnecessary screaming happens in this movie. Actually, probably too much screaming. The characters’ frequent outbursts of yelling and profanity seem funny at first, but inevitably get old. The actors put in solid work for the most part, but Devine’s performance becomes so over the top in some scenes that it comes off as annoying.
Nothing about this film achieves brilliance in any way, and it certainly does not have anything new to say, even in the comedic genre. It does deliver in just about every aspect that a movie titled “Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates” could hope to, though. What the film lacks in originality, it makes up for in pure comedic relief. Not every single joke lands, but a fair amount of them do, making for the funniest 'true' story to appear onscreen in quite a long time. "Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates" by no means offers very memorable or compelling characters, nor will it join the pantheon of great movies based on true stories. But for a raunchy comedy and pure summer escapism, it definitely works. Don’t go into this movie with any expectations other than to laugh.

Decide once and for all what is reality and what is virtual. Master trainers can read between the lines when the app cautions to “stay aware of your surroundings at all times.” Aware really means to keep a Zen state of mind that eliminates all distractions outside the game. Consider investing in blinders that will discard any distractions from the physical world—the idea that reality and virtuality operate on different planes of existence will only hold you back.
3
Take the Poke-road less traveled by. Consider alternative avenues to cause Pokemon spawns. Many trainers realize that different Pokemon spawn in specific biomes—water Pokemon spawn near bodies of water, grass Pokemon in green fields, electric Pokemon inside locked transformers, etc. So, get creative —stand under a running shower or take a leisurely swim to the bottom of the nearest pool to spawn water Pokemon.
4
Get the gear. Invest in the proper equipment—it’s 2016, which means wearable technology is not only readily available, but also the norm for the upper echelon of society. Tape external battery packs to your every limb. Wear solar-powered propeller hats. Invest in a motorized bicycle to conserve energy.
5
When it comes to rare Pokemon: location, location, location. Reports have trickled in of Pokemon GO trainers disregarding safety in order to capture Pokemon on highways, private property and other dangerous locations. To those who question these methods I ask: how bad do you want it? After all, it’s common knowledge that the rarest flying-type Pokemon only spawn in heaven and the best fire-type Pokemon can only be found in hell. Risk equals reward, people.

Investigate every rumor and secret. Much like the heyday of Pokemon Blue and Red when the infamous “Mew under the truck” rumor spread like wildfire, much misinformation will find its way around, but occasionally the rumors are true. As such, hunt down any and all internet gossip. Does Mewtwo only spawn on military bases? Does kicking down bathroom stalls trigger ingame events? Will putting two phones running Pokemon GO in the microwave allow for breeding? There’s only one way to find out.

39% of on-campus 911 calls last year were related to alcohol intoxication. (UEMS 2014-2015, n = 174)
When should I call for Emergency Medical Services (EMS)? Whenever you need to. Calling for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) is completely free. They are there to help you and it never hurts to be evaluated by trained professionals. However, it is important to remember that if they determine you need help beyond what they can give you, you may be transported to Banner University Medical Center by ambulance (which can cost quite a bit). So what happens when you call 911? Calling 911 on campus means that UAPD, University EMS, and Tucson Fire Department will respond to make sure the person you called for is okay. If you think someone has had too much to drink, call. It is better to be safe than sorry. If it is determined that the person is safe to make it through the night, they may be released into the care of friends, an RA, or any responsible party. If the person you called for is too intoxicated or impaired to be safe, they may be transported to the hospital. They can be transported
with Basic Life Support (BLS) for basic cases or with Advanced Life Support (ALS) for more severe cases. Last year, 53% of the alcohol-related calls resulted in transport, 85% of those with BLS, and 15% with ALS. Scared of getting in trouble for calling? Recently, The University of Arizona created the Good Samaritan Policy which states that “Students and/or organizations that seek assistance will not be subject to University disciplinary action with respect to the alcohol policy.” Basically, you won’t get in trouble for calling 911 to help your friend. The requirements? Don’t leave once you call and give EMS any information they need to help the person. You can learn about University EMS and how they respond on campus at www.ems.arizona.edu (click on “About Us”). You can also view the Good Samaritan Policy online.

ATC hits $2 million goal, struggles aside
BY BRENNA BAILEY AND SEAN ORTH @DailyWildcat
Don’t fret, Tucson thespians — the show will go on. The Arizona Theatre Company raised $2 million to save its 2016 season. Preparation for ATC’s six-show season came to a screeching halt late last month when the organization realized it was neck deep in financial troubles, the Arizona Daily Star reported. The company needed to raise $2 million before July 15 in order to begin its season in September. “Obviously we’re incredibly pleased and humbled at how the community stood up and helped us,” said David Ira Goldstein, the artistic director at ATC. “ATC is such a key part of this vibrant arts community, and we were so afraid we wouldn’t be able to continue a 50th season.” Throughout the fundraising process— which started at the end of June—ATC’s future looked pretty grim. By midnight on July 16, the company was still $600,000 short of meeting its goal. Pledges continued to pour in after the deadline passed, though, and ATC was able to raise $2 million by last Sunday, July 17. “We had hundreds of people in the community donate, and Mayor [Jonathan] Rothschild and [Michael Kasser] were particularly helpful, and we’re grateful for that,” Goldstein said. Kasser, a local business leader, promised to donate $1 million if Phoenix supporters could match it. “If I don’t get it from the other people (in Tucson), it will be from me,” he told AZCentral. com, before ATC met their fundraising goal. “But if Phoenix isn’t willing to put up a million
dollars, then that’s indicative that Phoenix doesn’t really want this.” They didn’t end up matching it. Four hundred forty eight of the donors came from the Tucson community, while 320 came from Phoenix, according to AZCentral.com. Having met its fundraising goal, ATC will successfully open for a 50th season, but company leaders don’t plan on settling to run only one more season. Management and board directors have started to reassess the company’s business model to ensure the 50th season puts the institution in a financially stable position that allows it to continue growing and serving the Tucson and Phoenix communities, indefinitely. “We have balanced our budget over the past two years, and we need to continue doing that,” Goldstein said. “This problem stemmed from debt we’ve been carrying since the recession back in 2008, so we need to continue to recapitalize so we can continue another 50 years.” Goldstein said maintaining a strong working relationship with UA theater students is also vital to ATC’s longevity in Tucson, specifically. “We have some theater department students in our first show [“King Charles III”] and other shows this season,” he said. “That’s one of the [community] relationships we’re proudest of, and we hope that will continue.” The 50th season will kick off with “King Charles III,” which runs from Sept. 10-30 in Tucson. The show will be followed by Broadway classics “An Act of God” from Oct. 22-Nov. 12 and “Fiddler on the Roof” from Dec. 3-31, also in Tucson. Tickets, individual tickets and packages go on sale two weeks before every show and can be purchased at the box office or online here.

Former ‘Cats find new homes in the NBA
BY RYAN KELAPIRE @ RKelapireUA
The first day of July marked the first day of free agency in the NBA and with the 2016-17 salary cap jumping by over $20 million from the previous year, teams didn’t hesitate throw the big bucks at prospective free agents. For several few lucky Arizona basketball players, the increased budget reflected well on their new contracts. Some former Wildcats moved up in the NBA coaching ranks as well.
Solomon Hill
4 years, $52m Hill, 25, turned an outstanding second half to the 2015-16 season and postseason into a four-year, $52 million with the New Orleans Pelicans. The former Indiana Pacer shot 41.2 percent on 3s after the AllStar break and made 11 of his 19 3-point attempts in Indiana’s first-round loss to the Toronto Raptors. Hill’s hot shooting along with his reputation as a solid defensive player, made him a highly-desired free agent— despite the fact that he had struggled to find a major role with the Pacers in his first two seasons in Indianapolis. The Pelicans are banking on the expectation that Hill’s shooting late in the 2015-16 season was not a fluke.
Jerryd Bayless
3 years, $27m The Sixers have won just 28 games in the past two campaigns, but the team’s days of bottoming out in order to secure a top draft pick are coming to a close. The team has developing talent and a newly-established front office regime that has put more focus on adding veteran players to a young roster. One of those veteran players was Jerryd Bayless, who the 76ers signed on to a threeyear, $27 million deal. The team doesn’t have a whole lot of NBA talent at the point guard position, so there’s a strong chance that Bayless will wind up being the starter. He’ll be competing with former Wildcat T.J. McConnell and others for that job.
Derrick Williams
2 years, $10m Prior to free agency, Williams opted out of the second year of a two-year, nearly $10 million deal with the New York Knicks, making him a free agent again this summer. While he might have been looking for a pay raise, he didn’t find one, as he signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Miami Heat—the same annual value as his contract with the Knicks. However, the 25-year-old will be hitting the free agent market again next summer, so a strong season with the Heat could end up turning into a big pay-day. The former second-overall pick will try to help replace long-time Heat superstar Dwyane Wade, who signed with his hometown Chicago Bulls.
Jordan Hill FILE PHOTO/THE DAILY WILDCAT
FORMER WILDCAT SOLOMON HILL shoots the ball against ASU on Jan. 19, 2013 in Tempe. Hill signed a lucrative four-year deal with the New Orleans Pelicans.
2 years, $8m The Minnesota Timberwolves, armed with budding superstars Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins among others, are expected to make significant strides in the win column this upcoming season, and the team has added a useful piece to its front court depth. Former Wildcat Jordan Hill agreed to a twoyear, $8 million deal with Minnesota. Given the jump in the salary cap, it was a bit surprising that Hill didn’t get a more lucrative contract.
Bret Brielmaier
Brielmaier continues his ascendence in the NBA coaching ranks. The 28-year-old spent the past three seasons as an assistant coach with the Cleveland Cavaliers and will now be joining Kenny Atkinson’s coaching staff in Brooklyn in a larger role.
Lakers hire Luke Walton and two other Wildcats
The Los Angeles Lakers made a head coaching change following a 17-win season, and hired Luke Walton as their new head coach. Walton, 36, was Steve Kerr’s lead assistant with the Golden State Warriors in 2015-16 and was the Warriors’ interim head coach as Kerr recovered from back surgery. Walton led the team to a 39-4 record, including a NBA-record 24-0 start. After taking over the Lakers, Walton added Arizona’s own Jud Buechler and Jesse Mermuys to the team’s coaching staff. Buechler, a 12-year NBA player, played at Arizona from 1986-1990. This is his first NBA coaching position. Mermuys, a graduate of the UA, was Arizona basketball’s director of operations from 20062008. Mermuys coached the Lakers’ Summer League team this July, and will be one of Walton’s top assistants. Buechler’s role is unclear at the moment.
Other ‘Cats still looking for a home
? Former Wildcat Chase Budinger remains a free agent, and is still looking to find out which team he’ll suit up for in the upcoming season. The 28-year-old played in 66 games durring the 2015-16 season—49 with the Pacers and 17 with the Phoenix Suns— averaging 4.1 points per game along with 11.8 minutes per contest. Recent UA graduate Ryan Anderson didn’t make it onto an NBA roster, but did agree to a deal with the Antwerp Giants in Belgium. Kaleb Tarczewski and Brandon Ashley are competing in the NBA Summer League, and are hoping to make their way on to NBA rosters. If Ashley does not make an NBA team, he’ll remain with Alba Berlin of the German Basketball Bundesliga, he told the Daily Wildcat. He averaged a team-high 5.7 rebounds with Alba Berlin this past season. Gabe York concluded his Summer League with the Charlotte Hornets and is also looking to secure a spot with an NBA team. In all likelihood, however, he’ll end up playing overseas as well.

Seven Wildcats to participate in the 2016 Olympics
All About IUDs What’s an IUD?
An IUD is a small t-shaped device which is inserted into the uterus by a medical provider. A short string descends through the cervix into the upper vagina and is necessary for removal. Currently, there are three brands of IUDs approved by the FDA: Paragard® has copper in it. Mirena® and Skyla® release the hormone progestin.
How do they work?
By disrupting sperm so they cannot join and fertilize an egg. Hormonal IUDs prevent ovulation and thicken cervical mucus, which helps block sperm from reaching an egg.
How effective are they?
Very. IUDs are 99% effective, meaning that out of 100 women using an IUD for a year, one (or less) will get pregnant per year.
How long do they work?
For 10 years (Paragard®), 5 years (Mirena®), or 3 years (Skyla®).
What are the risks?
Just as all pregnancies come with risks, all contraceptive methods have health risks. IUDs may cause pain (when inserted and even afterward), cramping, spotting or irregular periods (especially the first 3-6 months with Mirena® and Skyla®).
There is risk of infection or the IUD slipping out of the uterus. In rare cases, more serious problems can occur. It’s best to discuss your medical history with a medical provider.
What do they cost?
If you have insurance, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) requires your insurance provider to cover most or all costs for contraception. Without insurance, the cost is $500-1000, which is generally less than the cost of birth control pills over a 3, 5, or 10 year period.
Can I get one on campus?
Yes. The UA Campus Health Service Women’s Health doctors and nurse practitioners are trained and qualified to insert and remove IUDs. All three brands are available.
What are the pros and cons? They are convenient, don’t require daily pill scheduling, are well-liked by most users, and have a low risk of side effects. Disadvantages include menstrual problems (especially in the first months of use) expulsion, and risk of perforation of the uterus (less than 1 in 1000 users).

‘CATS IN THE OLYMPICS FROM PAGE 22
Michael Meyer Swimmer South Africa The three-time All-American is arguably Arizona’s most talented swimmer considering Meyer posted the fastest time in the 200-meter individual medley (1:44.74), 400-meter individual medley (3:42.79) and the 100-meter back stroke (47.90). The last time South Africa was in the Olympic games, two swimmers captured the gold medal and earned one silver medal, so there is quite a bit of pressure on Meyer to show out in Rio.
Sage Watson Sprinter Canada Watson is the new girl on the block and isn’t a household name to the Arizona brand just yet, but that’s probably because she’s coming into a totally new program. Watson hurdled for Florida State University from 2012-2015 and evolved into a four-time All-American with an ACC title in 2014 in the 400-meter hurdles. Watson is young and still has room to grow as an Olympic athlete, but if she plays her cards right, maybe one day “Oh, Canada” will echo in her name.
Tjasa Oder
Brady Tandy
Kevin Cordes
Swimmer Slovenia
Swimmer South Africa
Swimmer United States
Tjasa Oder doesn’t have success and experience at just the collegiate level, the two-time second-team All-Pac-12 Academic honoree participated in the 2012 Olympics in London in the 800-meter freestyle, but placed 25th in the heats, failing to qualify. Despite being unable to take care of business and breaking through in 2012, Oder returned to London and received a bronze medal in the 800-meter freestyle at the 2016 European Championships. This year she should return to the Olympics with vengeance and a chip on her shoulder to reach newer heights in her swimming career.
Rafael Quintero Platform Diver Puerto Rico Originally hailing from Puerto Rico, but spent his high school years at one of the most reputable academic schools in the country— University High School in Tucson, Arizona— Quintero made an immediate splash upon his arrival at the UA. In his first season with the Wildcats, he won the Pac-12 Conference Championship on the platform and maintained his success earning three All-America honors in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Quintero is no stranger to the big stage, but a stage like Rio is what keeps athletes up at night.
If swimming were track, Tandy is a true sprinter and an athlete with potential. Tandy stands 6-foot-3—so his length is already a factor—and his résumé at Arizona speaks for itself when taking a gander at his accomplishments. Tandy is a four-time All-American who also won an NCAA title in 2014 in the 50-meter freestyle with a time of 18.95 seconds and returned to glory in the conference the following season winning the Pac-12 title with another time of 18.95. Repeating times won’t help his cause in Rio, but Tandy is a seasoned yet young swimmer that can add some firepower to a South African lineup that is looking to dethrone Michael Phelps.
Paul Tonnesen Decathlon Spain The 2015 Pac-12 decathlon champion will take his talents to the biggest stage for an athlete. Tonnesen was also the 2015 Pac-12 field athlete of the year and set a school record for points scored in a decathlon with 8,247 points in the 2015 NCAA Championships. Tonnesen is new to the international competition with the only experience outside of intercollegiate activity coming from the 2015 World Championships in Beijing, China.
Whenever the conversation of legendary swimmers or the greatest of alltime at Arizona take center stage, Cordes’ name will always be at the top of the list. Cordes will represent the stars and stripes in Rio and will be a likely candidate to earn a medal. Cordes is an NCAA six-time individual champion and won the 100-meter breaststroke championship every season. Also named Swimmer of the Year in 2013 and 2014, Cordes enters the games with an ego boosting performance in the trials placing first-place in the 100-meter breaststroke Cordes will participate in the 100 and 200-meter breaststroke competitions in Rio.

Solomon, Dawkins to battle for QB job BY JUSTIN SPEARS @JustinESports
The first inklings of this summer’s quarterback competition came in the form of a painting on the side of the side of the garage on Sixth Street next to Arizona Stadium. Or rather, the painting over of a painitng. In the spring of this year, Solomon’s portrait — which had graced the side of the garage — was painted over by Arizona Athletics’ new slogan “Our House,” signaling an unsure future for who wold stand as the face of Arizona football. During head coach Rich Rodriguez’s tenure at Arizona, it’s generally been known who the team’s starting quarterback will be heading into the start of a season, but this summer it’s a different story. It’s shaping up to ba a tale of two quarterbacks battling for the reigns of Arizona’s offense, in what’s expected to be an intense competition that might take until September for a winner to emerge. Redshirt junior Anu Solomon and redshirt sophomore Brandon Dawkins will compete for the starting job, and this quarterback battle is a blessing in disguise for Rodriguez.
There is, of course, the old phrase, “if you have two quarterbacks, then you have no quarterback,” and that may have been a case with the back-andforth performances Anu Solomon and Jerrard Randall shared last season, but Rodriguez has two starting-caliber quarterbacks on his roster this time around. “In my opinion, we have two returning starters,” Rodriguez said at Pac-12 Conference Media Day, “One that’s more established in Anu Solomon— really good player particularly when he’s healthy—but he’s got a challenge with Brandon Dawkins, who played a little bit at the end of the year and has gotten better,” Rodriguez continued, “I think we’re in a good situation when we have two guys competing for a job.” It’s not just a typical job playing quarterback for Arizona; it’s a privilege to run the spread offense that Rodriguez has spent years to perfect and he’s absolutely correct that Solomon is more established, which is why it’ll be an uphill climb for Dawkins. Or so you’d think. Solomon missed two games last season with a concussion, and despite throwing for 20 touchdowns, his injury

undoubtedly made him a bit gun shy at times, especially when scrambling out of the pocket. Dawkins, on the other hand, showed that no matter the situation, he’s not worried about taking a big hit if it’ll put his team in a better position to win, and it showed in when he shined against ASU last season. Solomon was out due to a concussion and Randall struggled early, putting Arizona in a three-touchdown hole. And who was it that gave Arizona a chance to steal a rivalry game on the road? Brandon Dawkins. Dawkins threw for two touchdowns and ran for one touchdown, but crucial interceptions in the fourth quarter cost Arizona the comeback victory. Rodriguez was disappointed with the loss, but he wasn’t disappointed with Dawkins considering the circumstances. Dawkins was battling a stomach illness he received the
night before, was down three touchdowns when he checked in and put every ounce of energy he had on the field. That takes guts and determination and that could give him a leg up over Solomon. After Dawkins’ performance, he put himself on the radar moving forward and in a position to compete for the starting job in the summer. And it’s not just attention from fans or the media he’s receiving, but from his own team as well. “I’ve never started a game for our team and I’ve never started from the first quarter to the end so it’s hard to say that I’ve won this team especially when I haven’t won the job yet,” Dawkins said on KAMP Radio. “At the end of the day—especially after ASU—the team trusts me and I trust them.” Both Solomon and Dawkins have different personalities, which makes both of them stand out. Solomon is a laid back, calm and relaxed quarterback,
which is crucial for late-game situations. Meanwhile Dawkins is the quarterback that is more visibly energetic and vocal, helping to get everyone to buy into the offense. “I’m more of a loose and not too tense and uptight type of person,” Dawkins said. “I like to have fun and enjoy it, but at the same time, people know how I work and what I do and know when I’m taking it seriously. When I say something, I mean it.” At the end of the day, only one quarterback can start the Sept. 3 opener against BYU, and eventually one will surpass the other. But as of now it’s a dead heat. “Solomon and Dawkins will go into camp splitting first team reps and we’ll see who will win the job,” Rodriguez said. May the best quarterback win.
