The Arizona Republic recently released its annual list of “Arizona’s top 35 entrepreneurs 35 and under,” and one of the winning companies has UA roots.

The list consists of Arizonabased companies and their founders, recognizing them for their achievements in business early in their careers. The businesses are

classified by categories such as beauty, culinary and software.

Among the winners is Adeel Yang, who created the company Picmonic with his partner Ron Robertson while in their third year of medical school at the UA. Picmonic is an online program intended for creative visual imaging, which utilizes visual learning styles that break the barriers of a traditional study guide. It allows students to explore different mediums for

learning by combining interactivity and imaginative thinking and channeling them into studying.

Yang said they began working on the business because they saw that visual learning personally helped them and their classmates in medical school.

“It was July 2011 after we took our boards [and] we decided that this new modality of studying was very effective, and our friends really loved it,” Yang said.

A flood in the Old Chemistry building Wednesday morning, which was responsible for a complete network shutdown, raised concerns about the UA’s maintenance of buildings.

The Old Chemistry building’s network connection went down Wednesday morning due to a flood in the south side of the building’s basement, which contained wiring systems to control the connection. Although causes of the flooding have not been officially pinpointed or confirmed, the building staff was not surprised by the incident. Michael Morris, IT manager for the department of chemistry and biochemistry, said someone might have turned the valve because the steam pipes had not been touched in years.

“Someone enabled something that filled up

the room with steam, which damaged all of our networking equipment that is also housed in this room,“ Morris said. Faculty noticed the network was down and called laboratory manager Scott Dreisbach, who noted that there’s also networking equipment in the basement.

University Information Technology Services responded quickly and were there in minutes, according to building staff. They had the system back online by Wednesday afternoon.

“In this case, it is a major shut down of communication in a large building because computer switches had to be located in a basement 5 feet away from steam pipes, one of which shot out steam due to a trap failure,” said Roger Miesfeld, head of the department of chemistry and biochemistry, in an email

Lieutenant Mike Smith is retiring from the University of Arizona Police Department on Nov. 13 after 21 years of service.

Smith began his career in law enforcement in the United States Air Force as a security policeman and then later returned to his home state of Iowa to work for the City of Grundy Center Police Department and the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department.

After a couple of years in Iowa, Smith said he left and began his career at UAPD in 1994. He said he chose to come to UAPD to follow Lute Olson after he left the University of Iowa to coach Arizona basketball. However, he said that the opportunity was what brought him to Tucson, after all.

“Iowa is pretty rural in most settings,” Smith said. “There was a lot of opportunity in Tucson at the time.”

Smith started out as a police officer doing general patrol at UAPD before he became a bicycle officer and a field training officer.

Shortly after that, he was promoted to corporal. After two years, Smith was promoted to sergeant and held that position until earlier this year.

During his time as sergeant, Smith worked in many different areas including patrol, crime prevention, public information officer, training coordinator for the department, detective sergeant, motor sergeant and even managing the department’s website.

“I got a unique opportunity to do every assignment in this department as a sergeant,” Smith said. “I don’t believe anyone has done that.”

His best night of work was in 1997 when Arizona men’s basketball won the national championship against Kentucky.

“At Speedway [Boulevard] and Park [Avenue], there was a BaskinRobbins semi-tractor trailer, a full 18-wheeler, stuck at [the] intersection,” Smith said. “Because the intersection was packed with people, it couldn’t go anywhere. It looked like a music video. People were on top of the cab of the truck throughout the whole length of the trailer [and] people were shoulderto-shoulder; it looked like ants just took over this trailer.”

Smith said it was nothing but a celebration.

“There [were] so many people

UA works to close language barrier

BY KATELYN CALDWELL The Daily Wildcat

A translation project for an immigrant page, headed by UA affiliates, is the stepping stone for future translating projects across the UA. Jaime Fatás, director of the translation and interpretation program in the department of Spanish and Portuguese, was involved with a translating project for the “Welcome to Tucson!/¡Bienvenidos a Tucson!” immigrant page.

The translations project was formed after Florencio Zaragoza, president of Fundación México,

contacted Fatás.

Zaragoza had been receiving numerous calls from Spanish speakers, as well as immigrants, with concerns that the welcome page was only in English.

Immigrants and Spanish speakers were having a difficult time taking advantage of the resources provided on the welcoming site because of the language barrier.

Zaragoza then contacted Fatás, who agreed to take part in translating the webpage into Spanish. Fatás is responsible for supervising and coordinating internships and practicums in the College of Humanities and signs

agreements with institutions that need translations and interpretation services.

Fatás recruited two of his students, Leonardo Vega and Lizbeth Feria, who were about to graduate, to take part in the project.

“There was not a Spanish translation,” Vega said. “There were a lot of resources for immigrants here in Tucson, but none of them were translated into Spanish.”

Health officials alarmed at child vaccination rates

BY AMER TALEB Arizona Sonora News Service

A decreasing number of children being vaccinated concerns Arizona health officials.

The growing rates of childhood immunization exemptions are not due to religious beliefs or medical backgrounds, but the parents’ personal beliefs, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services.

The exemption rates were more than twice as high in the 201213 school year (3.9 percent) compared to 2003 (1.6 percent), according to AZDHS. Public officials fear a comeback of the diseases that are not being vaccinated against.

Immunizations against measles and mumps are some of the shots parents are opting out of due to a perceived link to autism.

The concern was that children were developing autism spectrum disorders after getting certain vaccinations since they contained an active ingredient, known as thimerosal, used to preserve childhood vaccines.

The Institute of Medicine concluded that there was no

While the buttons do play into our impulse to push and control things, there is still a reason for having them. In many cases, the buttons

relationship between vaccines containing thimerosal and autism rates in children.

Because of the parents opting out of these shots, measles has risen in numbers and has been at an all time high since 1994, according to AZDHS. This May, there were 288 cases of measles, and in June there were 539 cases. Of the children with measles, one out of 10 children get an ear infection and one out of 20 get pneumonia.

For every 1,000 children that have measles, one or two will die, said AZDHS. “I don’t agree with getting my child immunized because their bodies are so little and it’s harder for them to adjust to those shots. I think they should get [their shots] when they’re a little bigger,” said Ashlyn Maye, a new parent who had her child vaccinated due to the persistence of her doctor.

Arizona requires those entering kindergarten to be vaccinated against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B and chickenpox. In later grades, they must receive boosters for diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough, as well as the vaccination against meningococcal disease.

The personal beliefs exemption allowed by the state requires parents to sign a form acknowledging that they understand the risks of not vaccinating .

The demographic of Arizonans not vaccinating their children are mostly white, high-income families, according to the Department of Health Services.

Others are not getting vaccinated because of transportation difficulties or lack of insurance. Some parents are choosing to opt out because of health concerns such as autism, said Will Humble, Arizona Department of Health Services director.

manager at the Southern Arizona Association for the Visually Impaired, said audio signals are not preferred because the sound can be a distraction to the visually impaired from listening to when traffic has stopped at the intersection. SAAVI works with the city council to recommend a change of buttons at certain intersections that are dangerous for people with disabilities. “[The visually impaired] have to hear the idling cars and the moving cars, and if an audio pedestrian signal is going off, they might not hear what they need to hear,” Lefko said.

The ultimate goal is to have vibrating buttons at every corner in Tucson and Phoenix, but the cost is problematic. Each device could cost around $400, meaning it would cost around $2,000 to $4,000 per intersection.

If you get tired of waiting for the walk signal to turn and are tempted to cross against the light, take note: That’s illegal. Being cited can lead to a $161 ticket in Tucson and a maximum of $250 in Phoenix.

A CHILD GETTING VACCINATED at a health clinic.Concerns have grown among Arizona health officials over the decreasing rates of vaccinations in children.

California, Colorado, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin — the rate of exemptions are higher than the other states, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Arizona health officials plan to increase the number of vaccinations within the next few years and encourage parents to vaccinate their children by educating them about the benefits.

“I’m all for it if it saves us from getting these awful diseases and afflictions,” said Stacie Lardieri, a mother of two who vaccinated her child with every vaccine available.

POLICE BEAT

BY ADRIANA ESPINOSA The Daily Wildcat

Doctor’s orders A UA student was diverted to the Dean of Students Office for possession of drug paraphernalia.

Two University of Arizona Police Department officers went to the Arizona-Sonora Residence Hall in response to a report of marijuana odor coming from the eighth floor of the building.

The officers knocked on the door the odor was coming from and were allowed to enter by the resident.

The resident told officers he was smoking marijuana earlier and did not have marijuana or paraphernalia in his room.

One officer pointed at a residue on the student’s desk and asked if it was marijuana shake. The student said it was but from when he was smoking earlier.

The officers told him his room smelled too strongly of marijuana to be from his clothes or a little bit of shake on his desk.

They asked if they could search the room, but the student refused.

One officer said that when someone did not let officers search their room, they were usually hiding something. The student then said he was a legal medical marijuana card holder.

The officer asked if there was anything the resident would like to give up. The student replied, “Yes.” The student pulled out a red bong with marijuana residue in it and said he had been smoking out of the bong earlier.

Flying drunk A UA student was cited and released on charges of minor with spirituous liquor in body on Nov. 2.

Around 3:30 a.m., a UAPD officer was traveling east on University Boulevard when he saw a girl stumbling while attempting to cross the intersection.

The student walked halfway across University Boulevard, stopped for a few seconds and then continued walking with her arms extended out like an airplane.

The officer approached the student and asked if she was OK. She said she was fine.

The officer could smell a strong odor of intoxicants on her breath and noticed she was swaying.

A male student walking about 20 feet behind her approached and said they were walking back to their dorm.

The student said she lived at Arizona-Sonora but also at Villa del Puente Residence Hall. The man said he knew the student’s sister and asked to let him take her to her dorm.

The student said she didn’t know the man.

The man insisted they were together and that he was walking her to their dorm.

The officer asked the student if she had a roommate he could call. The girl instead began showing the officer Facebook photos on her phone.

After citing the student, the officer went with her to ArizonaSonora. The resident assistant on duty found the student on a roster but said she had been evicted.

The student mentioned that she may live at the Hub At Tucson apartments on campus, so the officer took her there.

When they arrived at the apartments, the student took out her entry card and was identified as a resident.

Yang also attended the UA for his undergraduate degree in molecular and cellular biology and economics.

Keisuke Hirano, head of the department of economics, said he is proud of the success of alumni and the current status of the department as a whole.

“The economics ranking really reflects the quality of the faculty, both in terms of their research and then turning that into great teaching for the students,” Hirano said.

Hirano said the department of economics thinks that Picmonic is an excellent example of what students are capable of.

“We are extremely proud of Adeel,” Hirano said. “He was an outstanding student, and we are very proud of his success. Economics is a great major because it prepares you for many different kinds of careers, and this is a great example.”

According to The Arizona Republic, the acknowledgment comes at the same time that Arizona is receiving praise for its entrepreneurial success, and that Yang and Robertson show that alumni are expanding their academic careers as they move forward from the university.

Yang has returned to medical school at the UA and will be finishing this year, while Robertson has decided to focus on Picmonic and expand on its success. Yang said he was humbled by the recognition from The Arizona Republic and is excited to be apart of the growing network of businesses in Arizona.

He added that he is excited for the future of the company and wants to expand it beyond medical students.

“We realized that this methodology … can be applied to many different learners,” Yang said, “so I am excited to take that next step and expand out the product to college students and, hopefully, to all learners.”

Arizona film industry looks to grow, state support lacks

In Arizona, city film commissions are on their own when it comes to bringing in major films, as the state lacks marketing and incentives to bring in large film productions.

“Arizona does not have incentives and so larger productions can get more tax breaks in other states,” said Heather Ainardi, marketing and public relations manager for the Flagstaff Convention and Visitors Bureau.

She added that because of these lack of incentives, larger productions can get bigger tax breaks in other states.

Arizona has seen less major films taking place within the state, but a growth in commercials and documentary films, especially in the northern region, Ainardi said.

“We get more commercials or documentaries than we do large, major film productions,” she said. “There is a growth in that because more and more people are increasing their budgets again.”

She added that when Flagstaff is used

as a secondary production location, it helps the city economically.

“It’s great for Flagstaff because we get an economic impact for a week to a month at a time without the physical impact of large productions being in town for a month or half a year,” she said.

That means the glory days where John Wayne made his famous calvary charges in many of John Ford’s films at Monument Valley and Clark Griswold’s wacky family vacation have become stored inside DVDs. Other famous films that have been shot in Arizona include “Spaceballs,” “Revenge of the Nerds,” “Can’t Buy Me Love” and “Raising Arizona.”

Because of its unique diversity — Southern Arizona is notable for the Sonoran desert and Northern Arizona is known for its greenery and snowfall — both westerns and other genres have been filmed in the state.

“Many times, a film will want to get a different [look] from desert all the way to glacier,” Ainardi said. “Flagstaff fits that non-Arizona concept since we have a ski area, a historic downtown and Route 66 icons as well.”

Similar to Monument Valley, Southern

Arizona has been the backdrop of many notable westerns including “Tombstone,” “Rio Bravo,” which featured John Wayne, and many others.

One of the major film locations that has been used is Old Tucson Studios, located 20 minutes outside of Tucson.

P.J. Lawton, a pyro technician at Old Tucson Studios, said it was constructed in 1939 for the movie Arizona, which featured John Wayne.

Lawton said one of the reasons Old Tucson Studios has drawn many films is its authenticity to the Old West. He added that the studio has done more than 500 productions in its history. But the studio had a drop off in 1995 when a fire destroyed 40 percent of the studio, Lawton said.

“It’s been a struggle since then, but we’ve slowly seen it come back to life as a movie set,” he said.

He added that Old Tucson Studios is already in works with a 10-part television series and has plans for two movies scheduled for filming next year.

“It’s coming back to life, and I don’t expect it to be too much longer before they got back to the way it was,” Lawton said.

Dairy lobby milking the federal teat

by Chikezie Anachu

The Daily Wildcat

G

ot Milk? From 1994 to 2014, a chain of media campaigns were built upon that powerful theme created by Goodby Silverstein & Partners for the California Milk Processor Board.

The campaign featured celebrities from across the spectrum and was used in advertising case studies across the country.

But behind that entire idea, encapsulated in two words, was the all-powerful American “milk lobby.”

According to DairyCo, the U.S. tops the world’s milk production charts, producing over 90 million tons of milk in 2012 alone.

The production of milk in such excessive quantities has not been without government support. From 1995 to 2012, the government spent almost $6 billion on subsidies to the dairy sector. In 2012 alone, $222 million was spent on subsidies and incentives. Big dairy was the biggest beneficiary, with production levels rising to record highs despite the fact that Americans now consume less milk than they did in the 1980s. Small farmers did not share greatly in this largesse, and in the economic downturn of 2008, they were easy casualties. In fact, the milk lobby is gradually creating a monopoly.

The milk lobby has been active since the 1930s. In the 1940s, the Department of Agriculture’s Dairy Division started to market milk as a preventive cure for a varied amount of bone and health conditions, primarily targeting educational institutions. In recent times, the campaign has taken even more varied forms, the “Got Milk?” campaign only one of them.

Americans already consume way too much dairy in milk, cheese and other byproducts, but the milk lobby, acting in concert with the federal government, continues to seek ways to force-feed the public. Wondering who you should thank for that wonderful double-cheese pizza that helps you maintain that excess weight? Thank the milk lobby’s checkoff ingenuity. These programs are basically a government-mandated collection of industry fees to promote dairy, which industry players can access for use in research and marketing.

Suddenly, one doesn’t need a crystal ball to see why America has huge obesity issues.

Maintaining an artificially high price for milk at the expense of farmers and consumers, too, is only in the interests of the milk lobby. With high production and less consumption, economic theories say the price of a product should fall. The use of Congress to prop up the price is a testament to the power of entrenched lobby groups on Capitol Hill. In 2003, when Hein Hettinga, the Arizona-based owner of Sarah Farms in nearby Yuma, tried to sell milk outside the set price, Capitol Hill enacted new rules that forced him to pay compensation for unfair competition. Keeping Hettinga in check cost over $5 million in lobbying fees.

“I had an awakening,” Hettinga said. “It’s not totally free enterprise in the United States.”

The milk lobby justifies its actions by contending that milk prevents almost all calcium-related ills and should receive government support to keep Americans healthy. But the University of Arizona Medical Center in its article “Is Milk Your Friend or Foe?” cites a Swedish study that found that increased consumption of milk doesn’t necessarily protect men and women from bone fractures or osteoporosis, but rather is associated with an overall higher risk of death.

Contrary to the oft-quoted advice that three glasses of milk should be consumed daily, the study showed that women who drank three glasses of milk or more a day had a doubled risk of death and cardiovascular disease. It also found that such women had a 44 percent higher risk of cancer. The study did warn, though, that its results should be read with caution.

Even more disturbing is the fact that little is said of the high levels of lactose intolerance among African-American men or Asians. For many people of color, consuming milk is not a good idea as their body systems are unable to break down lactose. Very few ads show this.

In fact, most “Got Milk?” campaigns failed to mention this. The reason was simple: Milk had to be portrayed in the best light possible.

The war to keep milk at the top of Capitol Hill debates and protection will probably continue for a long time to come. But it’s important to ensure that American consumers get a good deal, that customers are rightly informed and that competition is fair and open, even to small farmers. Getting milk should not equal sponsoring waste.

State secession: Not just for Tea Party crazies anymore

Columns, cartoons, online comments and letters to the editors represent the opinion of their author and do not represent the opinion of the Daily Wildcat.

ong-time residents of Arizona may notice a large disconnect between the residents of Maricopa County, which contains Phoenix, and Pima County, which contains beloved Tucson.

The right-wing, snowbird Phoenix clashes with the left-wing collegiate Tucson, each pulling its shared state in a tug of war from one side to the other.

But a movement was started to change this, to split the closer-to-the-border territory off to form its own state: Baja Arizona. There was an attempt to get the issue on the ballot in 2012, but most of the discussion ended after the amendment failed to get on the ballot, and it didn’t manage to go anywhere.

The spirit of the movement still seems to remain, if the amount of griping heard about Maricopa County and the cars adorned with “Free Baja Arizona” bumper stickers are any indication. And indeed, Baja Arizona is one of dozens of state partition movements since the founding of the U.S. New Republic has run the numbers and shown that if all of the secession movements

got their ways, the Republicans would not only have a senatorial advantage, but also an advantage in the Electoral College. This hardly advances the liberal cause those would-be Baja Arizonans wish for.

There’s also another factor to consider in terms of how secession could affect power distribution: gerrymandering, which involves the re-distribution of congressional districts to favor one party over another.

Republicans have been benefiting from it disproportionately thanks to their hold on state legislatures after the 2010 census. Racism has become such a prevalent factor in the use of gerrymandering that some states have filed lawsuits against it.

Campaigning for new states could be the way disenfranchised populaces get around this problem. Why, for example, should the liberal and non-white people of the American South have to have reduced political capital than their neighbors’ racism and conservatism?

Chuck Thompson asked this question to a larger extent in his book “Better Off Without ‘Em,” which argued half-in-jest but halfseriously that the American South should be allowed to secede for the good of the rest of the nation so the rest of the U.S. could move forward without its leaden weight.

But while that idea is but a pipe dream, as Thompson even admits in the book, it is

much more plausible for disenfranchised black and liberal people — which as Thompson mentioned several times, are almost always one and the same — to ditch the dead weight of dead ideas.

They could cast themselves off that sinking ship and attain statewide sovereignty, increasing fairness in the system by allowing those voices marginalized by gerrymandering to speak. They could force the states they slough off to get their act together since they can no longer lean on the seceded for tax revenue.

Disenfranchised populations should be using this tactic as a tool to save themselves from old white people afraid of demographic death. And to Baja Arizona, those kinds of people are exactly the sort of vultures keeping this state down.

So cry havoc and campaign onwards for 2016 to bring Baja Arizona into being. After all, the government can’t ignore partition supporters if they are loud enough for long enough.

And to be blunt, Baja Arizona does not deserve to be shackled to a populace whose interests it gets along with about as well as baking soda and vinegar do.

Pulse of the Pac Students from the Pac-12 write about wages, street harassment gauges and homeless exploitation From “Hey there, beautiful,” by Mina Shah Just over two weeks ago, Hollaback!, a harassment awareness group, uploaded a video to YouTube of an actress walking in New York City. …

Critiques of the video have included questioning the video’s accuracy of representation and its creation by an agency with a particular agenda. Other conversations have been centered around men’s reactions being a result of what she’s wearing, as her outfit indicates she wants attention; that she’s just being complimented and this isn’t harassment; that she should be grateful for the attention; that women ought to simply stand up for themselves if they don’t like the attention.

There has also been criticism about the socioeconomic and racial dynamics at play in the video: None of the men who talk to the walking woman are white or wealthy, possibly suggesting that there is a particular demographic of man that does this kind of harassing. …

Not only are the aforementioned arguments ineffective at deflating the video’s intent, they move us toward the wrong sorts of conversations regarding the matter at hand. Instead of trying to correct our reactions toward the video or determine whether people have a right to be offended, we ought to be focusing on discussing what the video intends to convey without minimizing or writing off any reactions to it.

From “Laws should be more welcoming to homeless,” by Megan Janetsky On Nov. 2, officers arrested [Arnold] Abbot and church ministers Dwayne Black and Mark Sims in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, under a recently passed law that places heavy restrictions on feeding the homeless. …

This despicable piece of legislation is by no means the only anti-homeless law put in place by legislatures. In the past year alone, 53 states (sic) placed similar restrictions on handing out free food.

Tempe, for instance, instituted a law in spring 2013 cracking down on panhandling and begging, threatening six months in jail and fines as high as $2,500. …

A study from the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty that tracked the increase in frequency of these laws found that they were both expensive and ineffective, making only the tiniest dent in homelessness rates. Rather, such legislation made it harder for Americans without homes to, well, exist. …

While people like Abbot fight the dehumanization by combating these laws, the issues go hand-in-hand. Laws like this will always exist as long as legislatures and citizens view homeless people as merely “hobos” and not actual human beings.

From “Raise the wage,” by Bryan Allen It’s often thought that minimum wage earners are just kids looking to earn extra cash for video games, movies, or activities with friends, but the numbers tell us otherwise. The average age of a minimum wage-earner is 35, according to the White House.

Furthermore, over half of minimum wage earners are women, and over half are also working full time. …

The Raise the Minimum Wage campaign has found studies indicating drastically reduced employee turnover when wages increase, saving businesses from the costly expense of training replacements and filing time consuming paperwork.

The same campaign reported on a study by the Chicago Federal Reserve which indicated that raising the wage increased “consumer spending, especially triggering car purchases.” Additionally, every dollar added to the minimum wage produces $2,800 in new spending per consumer in the following year.

As it stands, over 70 percent of Americans support raising the wage, as reported by the Huffington Post. But for some reason, less than half of states have enacted policies to do that. …

If Congress stepped in and raised the federal minimum wage, no companies would be placed at a competitive disadvantage.

Fluoride missing from Tucson water

BY Kimberlie Wang The Daily Wildcat

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, community water fluoridation acts as a safe, healthy and effective way to prevent tooth decay and is considered one of 10 great public health achievements of the 20th century. In 2012, 74.6 percent of the U.S. population on public water systems had access to fluoridated water. Over 3 million people in Arizona receive fluoridated water, but Tucsonans are not included in that number.

Dental research has indicated that cases of tooth decay are lower among people who have access to water supplies with higher levels of natural fluoride. Subsequent studies show that concentrated fluoride in plaque and saliva help to prevent enamel breakdown.

“Tucson Water does not fluoridate the water it delivers,” said Susanna Eden, assistant director of the Water Resources Research Center.

“Naturally occurring fluoride in the water varies, but is approximately 0.4 parts per million, which is lower than the 0.7-0.8 parts per million recommended to prevent dental caries.”

In the late 1960s, the Central Arizona Project was created to bring about 1.5 million acre-feet

of Colorado River water to Pima, Pinal and Maricopa counties each year. The system is the largest single resource of renewable water supplies in Arizona. However, using this additional supply posed problems for water fluoride concentrations, said Dr. Philip Mooberry, a Tucson dentist.

“Most of our water around here before the Central Arizona Project was all ground water that had to be pumped,” Mooberry said.

“Because of the Rocky Mountains and the terrain, there was naturally occurring fluoride in all of our wells.

So when the project was brought in here, we realized that essentially by bringing in water and mixing it with our water that has fluoride, they’re diluting the concentration. They’re diluting it to where it is hardly being recorded.”

In 1992, Mooberry and other local dentists lobbied for the fluoridation of the local water supply in conjunction with the Central Arizona Project. The Tucson City Council mandated the fluoridation, but it never happened.

“We found out a few years ago that they haven’t been doing it and the people haven’t been getting fluoride,” Mooberry said. “Now people that take their kids to dentists, older people that see the dentist, its not a huge point because we give out fluoride varnishes and rinses.

owen forest/The Daily Wildcat

Cole Boerst, a freshman studying film and television, fills a cup with water in the Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall on Wednesday. Tucson water is not fluoridated, and studies have shown fewer cases of tooth decay among people who have access to fluoridated water.

It’s the poor people. We have a huge population here of people that don’t get dental care. And because there’s now a larger prevalence of sugar drinks and juices, it’s epidemic, and it shouldn’t be.”

Both Mooberry and Eden agreed that fluoridation can be seen as a social justice issue. Failure to fluoridate drinking water results in

increased rates of dental caries that disproportionately affects the poor, Eden said. Mooberry said tooth decay is the most common reason children are absent from school or go to the school nurse.

Mooberry said the fluoridation issue needs to be readdressed.

“We need to start the process all over again,” Mooberry said.

“It’s something so easy to do. This is something that is so simple to rectify, and it’s not being done. This is health and well-being, and to me, it is so basic.”

Physicists study dark side of Supersymmetry

BY Chelsea Regan The Daily Wildcat

UA researchers are looking for the possible theoretical particles that will fill the gaps of what scientists don’t know in the Standard Model of particle physics, the theory that explains the identities of the subatomic particles that are the building blocks of matter and their interactions.

Elliott Cheu, the associate dean at the College of Science and professor of physics, studies Supersymmetry, an extension to the Standard Model. This research could potentially allow physicists to understand the origin of mass.

Cheu and his research team utilize the Large Hadron Collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, which is located in Switzerland and the most powerful particle accelerator in the world.

“We [look] for new types of particles,” Cheu said. “When one tries to understand why the Higgs mass is so small, people postulate that there are these extra particles.”

Supersymmetry is the study of those theoretical extra particles, which are not present in the Standard Model.

Cheu said the research interests him because when people catalog the amount of matter in the universe, stars, dust and gas only make up about 4 percent of it.

“You have to ask, what is the rest of it?” Cheu

said. “There are two other possibilities: One is called dark matter and one is called dark energy, and Supersymmetry has the possibility of being the dark matter candidates. About 25 percent of the matter is dark matter, and the idea is that dark matter could be the result of these supersymmetric particles.”

Matt Leone, a physics graduate student, analyzes large data sets in order to look for vector-like quarks, which are outside the Standard Model and are potential particles of Supersymmetry. He uses a process called machine learning to identify these particles.

This is similar to the process that Gmail uses in order to filter out spam by using a large amount of different variables.

“We simulate a data set by simulating [a] known background and known possible signal which theoretically might exist,” Leone said.

“Then, we’ll create an analysis that tries to separate these two to see if you can identify that signal, and we carry that over and apply it on the data that was actually measured by the ATLAS detector.”

Aside from his research with the particle detector, Cheu also collaborates with the department of astronomy on the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope project.

“I am one member of a large collaboration of people who are building this telescope, and we’re in charge of a small part of it,” Cheu

said. “We are in charge of building the power supplies for the camera.”

Cheu said the telescope will be sent to Chile and will be able to take images quickly enough that there will be a quasi-movie of the night sky over the course of 10 years.

The images will then be added together to increase the visibility of objects in the composite image and allow galaxies that are faint in one image to become brighter in the composite, Cheu said. The scientists will then be able to map roughly 10 billion galaxies.

“The group that I am working with on the

LSST, we’re very interested in measuring the other part of the matter called dark energy,” Cheu said. “One of [the] impacts of dark energy is that it seems to be causing the universe to expand more quickly.”

The two projects are tied together, Cheu said, because they incorporate scientists’ understanding of matter and what the constituents of the universe we live in are.

The kiosk used for the system is neither invasive nor intrusive. It uses a high-definition camera to track minute facial changes, two microphones to record voice inflections, Microsoft’s Kinect motion sensor to track body movement and a near-infrared camera to measure eye dilation and movement, said Michael Byrd, a management information systems graduate student.

In one experiment, the lab provided subjects with instructions to build a fake but realistic pipe bomb that had a circuit board on one end and a trigger mechanism and power supply on the other.

Brad then recorded the subjects’ physiological signals when asked a series of questions and showed a picture of the bomb but with the power supply button missing. The guilty people that built the bomb and were familiar with it had eye tracking all over, Nunamaker said.

“The people that have not seen the bomb show eye movements around the interesting parts of the bomb,” Nunamaker said. “They don’t spend time looking for the missing trigger because they don’t know it should be there.”

Cross-Country Underclassmen step up teams headed After expecting production to Regionals from seniors, underclassmen made strides for women’s basketball

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

S

enior guard Candice Warthen and senior forward Alli Gloyd are supposed to be the go-to players for an inexperienced Arizona women’s basketball team. They’re the ones who the freshmen and sophomores are to look up to, on and off the court.

Or, as Arizona head coach Niya Butts simply put it at the team’s media day, “We rely on them for everything.”

Yet on the night of Arizona’s first game of the season, an exhibition versus Concordia University, Irvine, it was the seniors who looked on as the underclassmen guided the Wildcats to a 7655 win.

While Gloyd sat out much of the game with foul trouble and Warthen went a measly 2-12 from the field, other players stepped up.

Sophomore forward LaBrittney Jones was the team’s leading scorer with 14 points. True freshman guard Charise Holloway provided a spark off the bench in the form of three 3-pointers.

Redshirt freshman forward Dezja James had a near double-double with 12 points and eight rebounds.

ARIZONA WOMEN’S BASKETBALL FORWARD LaBrittney Jones blocks Concordia center Ashley Ellis during Arizona’s 76-55 win against Concordia in McKale Center on Tuesday. Jones is one of several underclassmen on the team who has taken up a bigger role this year.

In total, 12 different Wildcats registered minutes.

That’s the kind of depth the team could have only dreamed about last season.

“You know, when we heard we had seven new girls coming in, we couldn’t believe it at first,” James said. “That’s a lot of people coming in, but we all get along so well, and spending time off the court definitely contributes to our success on

the court and in the game.”

More is not always better, but, in this case, it allows Butts to explore what she has to work with in these early games. For example, the Wildcats at times experimented with a three- or four-guard lineup.

However, for a team that lacks height, they will need to rely more on the play of forwards, such as sophomore forward Breanna Workman,

tough opponents, including No. 38 Houston, No. 63 BYU, No. 44 Utah, No. 52 Washington State, No. 10 California, No. 8 Stanford, No. 16 USC and 2014 NCAA National Champion UCLA. For the final match of the season, Arizona will face ASU, whom the Wildcats upset last season in a match that went down to the wire.

who led the team with 10 rebounds.

Butts said after the game that it’s likely Arizona will continue to play as many players as it did Tuesday.

Contributions from more experienced players like junior guards Keyahndra Cannon and Chy Cunnigham will be particularly valuable, as they are by now wellversed in Butts’ system.

“Having a lot of freshmen on the team, sometimes you might be worried about how they might do, how they might adjust and so on,” Warthen said. “But it’s not only the freshmen, it’s everybody coming back this year, and a lot of people didn’t play last year. So just coming back after a bad season, last year is always in the back of your head.”

The hard part now comes in transferring quantity to quality, as there are still a number of kinks to be worked out. For example, Arizona was consistently sloppy with the ball, committing 18 turnovers and not capitalizing on loose balls.

This early in the season, that’s to be expected.

Once the Wildcats lock down on fundamentals, they can focus more on aspects, like 3-point shooting, where they were not as aggressive on Tuesday.

Yet, even if things aren’t up to the speed Butts and the coaching staff would like, Arizona’s depth puts the team in better shape than seasons past.

The Arizona men’s and women’s cross-country teams will compete at the NCAA Regionals in Stanford, Calif., on Friday with a shot at making it to nationals on the line.

Both the men and women face an uphill battle toward earning a team qualification for the NCAA Championships next week, as they are competing against a number of top Pac-12 Conference schools. Two weeks ago, the men’s and women’s teams each finished eighth in the Pac12 Championships.

“First off, there remains some hope that we will run a great race,” UA cross-country head coach James Li said.

“It will require our top-five runners to have a strong meet.”

Thirty-one schools compete at NCAA Championships and the top-two teams at the West Regional will guarantee themselves a spot. There are nine regionals in total, so 18 of the 31 bids are automatic. The other 13 are at-large and rely on a team’s season resume.

Considering that neither the Arizona men nor women have finished near the top of any competitive meets this season, the Wildcats’ only practical chance of qualifying rests with finishing in the top two on Friday.

That will be a tough task as the Wildcats face highly ranked opponents on both sides, including Oregon, whose men’s and women’s teams are both in the top three nationally.

The Wildcats will need almost every athlete to run their best race of the season, which is why Li considers a top-two finish a long shot.

“The athletes are obviously working very hard, but we’ll see,” Li said.

The men may be at an even greater disadvantage,

as freshman Bailey Roth is considered questionable to run, according to Li. While Arizona faces slim odds at qualifying as a team, there’s a better chance that individual runners could earn a spot at nationals.

To do so, a runner must first finish in the top 25 at Regionals. If the team qualifies, the runner is automatically in.

If not, they must be in the topfour runners outside of the qualifying teams.

The Wildcats’ best hope may rest in senior Kristina Aubert, who has led the women at every meet this year.

Aubert finished in 32nd place at the Pac-12 Championships.

The Arizona women also competing in the 6,000-meter race on Friday are seniors Stephanie Bulder and Kate Penney and junior Molly Callahan.

For the men, seniors Sam Macaluso and Kenji Bierig will lead the way in the 10,000-meter race.

Nine years in the making

BY BRIAN PEEL

The Daily Wildcat

O

n Monday afternoon, the Arizona soccer team gathered in the LowellStevens Football Facility and waited patiently for its fate to be decided. It was out of its hands at that point; only a selection committee of America’s finest, a mostly stacked resume and perhaps divine intervention could save the Wildcats and put them in the NCAA Tournament.

At approximately 2:30 p.m. MST, various teams across the country started appearing on the live stream that was announcing who was in and who was out of the field of 64.

Then, it finally happened.

After nine long years, Arizona soccer was back in the postseason.

If you ask second-year head coach Tony Amato, the wait was no sweat.

Well, maybe a little.

“I was a little anxious,” Amato said. “Until your name pops up there, you’re going to be a little anxious. We weren’t nervous because we felt like we had done enough in the course of the season in terms of results versus top-40 opponents, and our RPI was at 40, so we felt pretty comfortable.”

Amato had every right to feel comfortable about his team’s chances considering the schedule the Wildcats played and the success they had. While their final record might not have been eye-popping at 10-7-2 overall and 4-6-1 in Pac12 Conference play, the Wildcats played in what was likely the toughest conference in the country, with a ridiculous nine teams from the Pac-12 making the field of 64 in the NCAA Tournament. In the nonconference portion of its schedule, Arizona held its own as well with

a tie against Texas A&M and a 3-1 victory over Oklahoma State, which just happens to be the Wildcats’ firstround opponent on Friday.

For the seniors on this year’s team, making the postseason for the first time in their Wildcat careers has made the struggles of past seasons worthwhile.

“The transition from a few years ago to now is just unbelievable,” UA senior goalkeeper Gabby Kaufman said. “I think all of us are so honored to be a part of this program, and Tony always talks about building a legacy, and I think we are doing that.”

Kaufman began her career at Texas Tech before transferring to Arizona after a few seasons, just as fellow senior and starting forward Ali Doller spent the first few years of her career at ASU and Paradise Valley Community College before arriving in Tucson. For Doller, an AllPac-12 Honorable Mention member this season, landing at Arizona and helping reconstruct the program was the right choice for her.

“I feel very lucky,” Doller said.

“I’m happy that I made the decision to come here and be a part of Tony’s rebuilding of a program. It just feels great to be a part of something like this and know that it’s not where you start but where you end.”

Since Amato was hired before the 2013 season, he has preached the idea that his team doesn’t set specific goals, but rather, he wants every game they play to be the most important of the season.

After Monday’s announcement that the Wildcats are in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2005, the message has clearly been received.

“When we got here, we put our head down and got to work,” Amato said. “The girls bought in

and worked really hard to get to this point and got some great results.

Now, we have a tangible reward for all that hard work, and when you see that and are able to go play in a great event like this, you can’t help

UA football ‘banged up’

BY JAMES KELLEY The Daily Wildcat

Closing out the season with six games in six weeks has led to injury concerns for Arizona football.

If the No. 14/17 Wildcats (7-2, 4-2 Pac-12 Conference) make it to the Pac-12 championship game, they will close out the regular season with seven games in a row.

UA football head coach Rich Rodriguez said they have to get young guys ready.

“We’re a little banged up,” Rodriguez said. “I think there’s 20 some guys, 25 guys on the injury report [Monday] morning.”

The Wildcats unveil their injury report on Thursdays.

“Now, I know every coach in America is going to sit up here at this time of year in November and say they’ve got injuries and it affects you, but it will affect a team more that isn’t really deep more than a team that is deep, and we’re not really deep,” Rodriguez said. “So we got to get some more guys healthy.”

Rodriguez said that the players are day-to-day, so even the trainers don’t know the players’ statuses.

“We’re different because we expect them to get stronger as the season goes along,” Rodriguez said.

“That’s hard because the season is a grind and you have tendencies to lose some weight, especially with how many plays we run.”

After concluding their fall seasons, both Arizona men’s and women’s tennis have high expectations for the upcoming spring season, while going up against some of the best in the nation.

Arizona men’s tennis capped off its final tournaments of the fall season this past weekend, competing in the Dick Vitale Intercollegiate Clay Court Classic in Sarasota, Fla., and the Jack Kramer Club Invitational in Los Angeles. Junior Jason Jaruvang and freshman David Mushayev competed in Sarasota, while junior Naoki Takeda and freshman Shoki Kasahara competed in Los Angeles.

Takeda had quite the tournament, scoring an upset against SMU senior No. 87 Arturs Kazijevs 6-4, 6-4. The upset marked the highest-ranked victory for any of the men during the fall. He ended his fall season on a high note, defeating Stanford junior Nolan Paige 5-7, 6-4, 11-9, improving to 8-3 in singles play this fall.

“The guys competed against a high level of competition this weekend, and we are definitely at that level,” UA men’s tennis head coach Tad Berkowitz said in a press release. “We will continue to work and improve during the offseason and be ready to go come January.”

The men have a challenge ahead of them, having to take on 11 ranked opponents and six NCAA Tournament teams from just a year ago. Their toughest matches will come up against 2014 NCAA semifinalist UCLA and 2014 NCAA National Champion USC. They will also face No. 41 Texas Tech, No. 60 New Mexico, No. 29 Boise State, No. 16 California, No. 43 Oregon and No. 66 Washington during the spring season.

Arizona opens its spring against UC Irvine on Jan. 16, 2015, and has won six of its last seven season openers since 2008.

On the other hand, No. 33 Arizona women’s tennis will go up against 10 ranked opponents and six that competed in the 2014 NCAA Tournament. The women open their spring season against New Mexico State on Jan. 24, 2015.
