Second term for city council

BY Amanda Oien

The Daily Wildcat

On election night, three council members won reelection into office and now plan for their current term and Tucson’s future.

Last Tuesday, Regina Romero, Paul Cunningham and Shirley Scott, three Tucson City Council members, were re-elected into office. With another four-year term ahead of the incumbents, it’s time to get down to business.

“There’s been a really aggressive agenda to make improvements for the city, and I think that [the mayor and council] feel that the voters really validated that work with their vote on Tuesday,” said Laura Dent, the chief of staff for Romero.

Looking ahead at the next four years, Dent explained plans for the city, especially the growing downtown area.

“We’re going to continue working on economic development … and continuing on expanding our incentives downtown,” she said. “As anyone can see, our downtown has been booming over the past five years.”

Dent said Romero’s team is looking forward to providing the right incentives for growth, not only downtown, but across the city as well. Focusing on the areas that need development and support is important to create incentives for growth in those areas, Dent said.

Scott, who was first elected to the Tucson City Council in 1995 and was also re-elected this term, said she feels relieved that the votes went through smoothly and that there were no issues with the count.

“We’re very pleased with the way things ran and now we need to get back to business,” Scott said.

With Scott’s next term ahead of her, she said she wants to look at issues that have not been primarily focused on, such as the Houghton Road Corridor: Tanque Verde Road to Interstate 10 project.

“Having made sure we had

an award-winning start on Houghton Road, we have to make sure that continues,” Scott said.

During the campaign, the Republican City Council slate asked how the incumbents would improve Tucson’s poverty rate and crumbling roads. Both Dent and Scott said they will focus on economic development and the voter-approved Tucson City Roads Bond from 2012.

Romero, Cunningham and Scott all began campaigning earlier this year.

“It’s never too early to start talking about the work you’ve been doing,” Dent said. “I think [Romero] does a pretty good job of getting out there in front of the media and talking about her work. She really likes to focus on her constituent outreach, so she has a good relationship with her neighborhoods and with the folks here in Ward 1.”

Cunningham said that, while campaigns are over, the mayor and the city council have a long way to climb. He also said that, with the seven Pima County bonds being rejected by voters, “Tucson will face serious challenges in the next four years.”

Cunningham said he hopes to continue Tucson’s leadership in water conservation not only as a local leader, but a global leader as well. He also said he plans to keep the city’s downtown an area that “respects its history and heritage.”

In regards to his next term, Cunningham has plans for Tucson’s future, especially in expansion to aerospace.

“We need to expand the number of direct flights coming out of our airport, we need to improve our warehouse district and we need to develop an aerospace and tech sector in Tucson for high-paying, 21st century jobs,” Cunningham said.

Earthquake shakes Black Canyon City

BY Lauren Renteria The Daily Wildcat

A string of moderate earthquakes struck the metro Phoenix area in the late evening Nov. 1. While there were no reports of damages or injuries from the quakes, Arizona residents felt the shake from Black Canyon City, the city closest to the epicenter, all the way to Queen Creek.

Lynn Jackson, a Cave Creek local, was sleeping in her bed, waiting for the work week to begin, when she was woken by the largest quake at 11:29 p.m., which had a magnitude of 4.1 Jackson said she has lived in the city for 19 years and has never experienced an earthquake in Arizona before Sunday.

“It felt like somebody had slammed into the side of my bed,” Jackson said.

The first earthquake was recorded at a 3.2 magnitude around 8:59 p.m. Two more moderate tremors shook the northern area surrounding Black Canyon City.

According to the Arizona Geological Survey, the first quake was at a shallow depth of about 0.6 of a mile. The second, the mainshock of the sequence of earthquakes, was recorded to be seven miles under the Earth’s surface. The final quake, with a magnitude of 4.0 and a depth of three miles, was recorded at 11:49 p.m.

For right now, the tectonic plate responsible for the series of quakes remains unknown.

However, contrary to popular belief, earthquakes in Arizona are not all that uncommon.

of Geosciences, Jon Spencer, explained that earthquakes in Arizona are nothing to be surprised about. In fact, Spencer said they happen all the time.

“There have been earthquakes in Arizona of this size every few years,” Spencer said. “I don’t think it means anything for the future, it is just a natural process—kind of like the Earth relieving stress.”

Spencer has been an adjunct researcher with the UA since 1990 and currently works for the Arizona Geological Survey as a senior geologist.

While there is an active fault near the Tucson area and there have been major quakes in the past, Spencer urged people not to worry about the moderate quakes.

“Arizona has had some major earthquakes, like the one near Douglas in 1887. If we had

something like that, it would obviously cause some damage, but those are rare,” he said.

“These small earthquakes are like the weather; they are just a natural thing and are nothing to be alarmed about.”

Mansfield Middle School sits on Sixth Street on the edge of campus. Mansfield is just one of the many Arizona K-12 public schools affected by the lawsuit filed for inflation funding in 2010.

Resolution in process for public school funding

BY Ava Garcia

The Daily Wildcat

The lawsuit over Arizona K-12 schools’ lack of owed inflation-combative funding from the Arizona State Legislature began to reach a resolution in the last days of October with a new plan mediated by the Office of the Arizona Governor.

The lawsuit began in 2010 when plaintiffs including the Arizona Education Association, the Arizona School Boards Association and the Arizona Association of School Business Officials sued the state Legislature for not fully paying out the public and charter schools’ voter-approved funding that was intended to match and defray the cost of inflation rates during the Great Recession, beginning in 2008.

According to Heidi Vega, director of communications for the Arizona School Boards Association, the state Legislature instead stopped funding this inflation rate in 2008, which goes directly against Proposition 301.

The proposition, which was passed by voters in 2000, states that the K-12 budget must be increased for inflation every year with a maximum funding at the 2 percent level, according to state Rep. Randall Friese.

Friese, who began his term in January 2015, credits this lack of funding to the possible hardships that came with the recession.

“The revenues were quite tight in the recession times, and they were trying to make cuts to try to make the budget as balanced as possible,” Friese said. “Those [funding] increases were mandated

by the voters, so the legislature had a legal responsibility to do that and possibly could have made cuts elsewhere in the budget but chose to not fund the education inflation increase.”

The Arizona Superior Court ordered the Legislature to pay back the schools, but the plaintiffs and Legislature could not reach an agreement, leading to arbitration and, eventually, a compromise when the governor’s office intervened to mediate a deal in October.

Friese said that the deal includes spending part of the State Land Trust—state land set aside to fund education through the leasing fees and the interest it raises, as well as raising interest in order to fight education inflation.

Friese said he sees this as a problem because it diminishes the “principle of the Trust,” and the increased interest could lead to a smaller disbursement from the smaller Trust in the future.

According to Friese’s estimations, without the governor’s plan, the Trust would have around $9 billion in it by 2026. With the plan and its use of Trust funds, there would be $6 billion in the Trust.

A smaller Trust means smaller disbursements for education funding.

“What we’re doing is taxing Arizonans in 2026 to pay for education today because the disbursements from that Trust will be lower.

From the Trust, education will get less,” Friese said. “We’ll have to make it up somewhere else.”

The plan also lays out specific economic triggers that, if met, mean that the state Legislature does not have to pay for education inflation funding.

It also, according to Friese, has the Legislature

only paying about 70 percent of the reset payments that are owed to the school and only around half of the back payments.

Friese also estimated that the Legislature had a surplus of around $600 million in fiscal year 16, which he said he thinks could have been used to pay for this lawsuit.

He said the plan is flawed but understands that it gives the schools the money they need.

“Half of our kids [in schools] have never been in fully funded classrooms. That’s huge,” Vega said. “Schools are doing more and more with less and less, and when you benchmark us against the nation we are at the bottom [in per-student funding].”

Vega said she is happy with the progress of the lawsuit because she believes the plan brings in money for the schools. She said the new money can be used for things like textbooks, career and technical education needs, teacher salaries and curriculum costs.

Vega also said that the money from the plan is not earmarked for a certain purpose and therefore be used for whatever needs each school has—something Vega said she is especially pleased with.

Both Vega and Friese emphasized that the money the schools would get from this lawsuit is not new money but rather money that the Legislature has owed the schools for years.

“Our schools can’t wait. They’ve been waiting all these years. They need this money and I think that’s a big message we want to communicate ... that we need to move forward,” Vega said.

Because the plan modifies the voter-passed

Proposition 301, it needs to be passed by voters in a special election in May to go into effect.

“I think voters will respond to the concern that K-12 education needs money now, but I wish the voters would be able to put the time in understanding the problems of the plan, but they may not,” Friese said.

Vega said she hopes that the plan will be passed so that Arizona schools can focus on other challenges, a sentiment echoed by Jay Heiler, chair of the Arizona Board of Regents, in a press release about the K-12 funding plan.

“Settlement of this lawsuit allows state leaders to move on to other important education efforts, including the higher education reform agenda,” Heiler said in a statement.

If the plan is passed and K-12 education does receive funding, Friese said he is concerned that the Legislature will refrain from giving education new money in addition to the money that is due from the lawsuit.

“We still need to put new money in so that our public schools can be more robust, pay teachers well, get their nurses and their speech therapists back and become the robust system of public education that we’re supposed to have, per our constitution,” Friese said. “Our constitution says that we must establish and maintain a system of public education that is general and uniform, and we are not maintaining it. We are absolutely not maintaining it.”

POLICE BEAT Compiled BY Meghan Fernandez The Daily Wildcat

Streaker with a heart of gold

By Maxwell J. Mangold on Feb. 22, 2013 A man who tried to prove his love for an exgirlfriend by running across campus naked was stopped by police at 2:18 p.m. on Feb. 22.

The University of Arizona Police Department noticed the man carrying his clothes in front of his crotch while running on University Boulevard outside of the [Kuiper] Space Sciences building.

Police stopped and identified the man, then told him to put his clothes on and stand next to their patrol vehicle.

The man said that he had cheated on his girlfriend and was upset that she broke up with him after he told her what he did. He decided to show his love for her by running naked from Broadway Boulevard to Speedway Boulevard, but later admitted it “was not a good idea” since people would see him.

While police were talking to the man, UAPD received a report from a UA employee who had seen the man streaking through the grassy area of the Highland Commons but did not wish to pursue criminal charges.

UAPD also contacted the man’s ex-girlfriend.

One roommate does a line, the other draws the line Compiled by Elliot P. Hooper on Feb. 16, 2012 UAPD responded to a call made by a female student reporting that her roommate was using cocaine in their dorm room in Graham-Greenlee Residence Hall at 6:30 p.m. on Monday.

The student said she was in her room speaking to her father on the phone when her roommate walked into the room and asked if she could close the door and lock it. The roommate said, “I don’t mind.”

The suspect locked the door and sat at her desk. The roommate watched as she pulled out a small bag containing a “white powdery substance,” which she then poured out onto the desk. She then grabbed a $20 bill and her CatCard and attempted to flatten the cocaine and separate it into two lines. She grabbed a straw and snorted the powder.

The roommate asked her, “What is that, and should you be doing that with your Crohn’s disease?” The suspect responded that it was cocaine. As the suspect put the powder into her mouth, she asked her roommate, “Do you want some? It makes your mouth feel good.”

The roommate declined, and was mostly speechless, but at one point said, “Oh shit, dude.”

The roommate then continued to consume what was left of the cocaine. Her roommate then stood up, grabbed her bag and left for class. At that point, the roommate called UAPD. When officers arrived, they spoke to the suspect and asked her if she knew what this was all about and she told them yes. She admitted to snorting and rubbing cocaine on her lips. Her room was searched for further items where they also found a Hello Kitty pipe.

She was arrested and taken to Pima County Jail. The other roommate was transferred to another room for the night to ensure her safety.

Sports: What are they good for?

BY greg castro

The Daily Wildcat

T

he Kansas City Royals won the World Series for the second time in history Nov. 1, leading to a plethora of excited texts and Facebook updates from friends and family in my beloved hometown. Do I care? No. Never mind that such updates are much less exciting when you aren’t actually in your hometown and haven’t been since March. Never mind that 90 percent of those folks couldn’t have cared less about the Royals before they started doing well this time last year. And please don’t even talk to me about how this team, “is just so engaged with the fans,” and “community oriented.”

I refuse to get excited about any of it, and I don’t care how great this team is; sports still suck. They’ve always sucked, and no amount of hometown, underdog wins will change that fact. No, really. Take a breath, accept it and you’ll feel much better. You can now live your new, modern life no longer under the impression that a series of gladiatorial-style competitive events that lead to rape culture, wasted tax dollars and 8,000 injured minors a day are somehow a thing that should continue. Not in Kansas City, and especially not in Arizona.

“Stop saying things that make me feel bad,” you say. “Shut up,” I say.

Let’s start at the public, elementarysecondary education level. This year, Tucson Unified School District budgeted just under $2.5 million toward schoolsponsored athletics. With TUSD budgeting about $12 million in 2015 towards student support services, cutting athletics spending alone could lead to a 21 percent increase in available student services funding.

Even if some of that athletics funding is coming from community partners rather than the state, imagine a world where those same donors contributed to kids learning math and science instead of how to better crash into one another, or hit a ball across a field.

Additionally, the most recent census information reveals that the Arizona public elementary-secondary school system spent a mere $8,599 in 2013 educating each student. That’s the third-worst per-student spending amount for that year, just behind Idaho and Utah. Hide your face and weep, Arizona.

In case talking numbers is confusing to your sports-addled brains, let’s talk in terms of broken child limbs. According to the

“

Southwest Athletic Trainers’ Association, “8,000 children are treated in emergency rooms each day for sports-related injuries,” and, “high school athletes suffer 2 million injuries, 500,000 doctor visits and 30,000 hospitalizations each year.”

Also encouraging: 47 percent of schools nationally do not meet the federally recommended nurseto-student ratio, according to SWATA. In fact, many schools simply do not have a nurse.

Arizona Education News reports that, “When schools scale back on security guards or share nurses, it affects student safety and health,” which would be common sense in pretty much any other developed country on the planet, except, apparently, our own.

Moving on to the collegiate level, financial concerns are less troublesome, with many Division I athletics programs more or less paying for themselves. The physical toll is still present however, with the Journal of Athletic Training reporting that injury rates for all college sports are about 13.8 per 1,000-game case studies.

The journal concludes, however, by

Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a world where the most popular form of entertainment featured two human minds battling it out for supremacy of thought, rather than supremacy through physical violence?”

expressing that, “In general, participation in college athletics is safe, …” which is weird, because pretty much any other university pursuit has a zero per 1000 injury rate when it comes to student participation, making college athletics participation the least safe of all possible college pastimes.

All of this and we haven’t even talked about that time in 2004 when Arizona State University tried to cover up the fact that they let a student with a history of misogyny and violence toward women continue to play football, only expelling him after he raped a fellow student. This led to the university settling with the aforementioned rape victim for $850,000.

True, sports do provide students who might otherwise never gain access to higher education a chance to attend college, though as John Oliver noted in his infamous March Madness segment from this year, the educational gains for many college athletes remain dubious at best.

Hell, we haven’t even gotten to the national level yet. I could write a whole other article alone on the Nov. 4 revelation that the Department of Defense has spent $6.8 million on military tributes at sporting events since 2011.

Wouldn’t it be nice to live in a world where the most popular form of entertainment featured two human minds battling it out for supremacy of thought, rather than supremacy through physical violence?

Stop portraying miscarriages as taboo by maddie pickens The Daily Wildcat

M

ark Zuckerberg’s Facebook post in August 2015 about the baby girl that he and his wife are expecting appeared, by all accounts, to be fairly normal—perhaps the type of thing you would see every day on your feed from aunts, second cousins or your lab partner from high school.

What made Zuckerberg’s post go viral, however, was something that distinguished it from any other birth announcement—his admission that he and his wife previously had three miscarriages along the way.

With Zuckerberg’s admission, other women began sharing stories of their own miscarriages, as well as the accompanying feelings of doubt, discouragement and, above all, shame.

According to a study released in 2013 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than a million miscarriages­— defined as pregnancy loss

Cancer

from page 6

A tweet that should read “Wow, turns out eating processed meats can increase your risk of cancer. Thought I’d let my non-vegetarian friends know!� becomes “HAVE FUN WITH YOUR CANCER YOU

within the first trimester—occurred in 2009.

It seems strange, then, that miscarriages are such a taboo topic.

For one thing, many people don’t realize exactly how common miscarriages are. In a study by the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 15 percent of respondents admitted to having had a miscarriage, but respondents massively underestimated this number, on average guessing that a mere 6 percent of women suffer miscarriages.

The 15 percent number is accurate.

Medical experts actually estimate that as many as 25 percent of women could suffer miscarriages, though the numbers are affected by the fact that many women are not aware they are pregnant in the first place when the miscarriage occurs.

The most concerning thing about this survey isn’t just misconception about

“

the frequency of miscarriages, but also misconception about their causes. Survey respondents thought that miscarriages could be caused by everything from stress, to lifting heavy objects, to past use of birth control—21 percent even thought that arguing intensely could cause a miscarriage.

In reality, none of these factors are proven causes of miscarriage. An estimated 60 percent of miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. The other most common factors are genetic or medical— definitely not heavy lifting.

However, when a woman suffers a miscarriage, and in particular when she is open about it, she often receives these reasons as a form of blame. If only she hadn’t had that glass of wine with dinner. If only she had kept her stress level down. If only she had stuck to yoga instead of jogging on the treadmill

In many—not all—cases, miscarriage can be traumatizing. A woman was preparing to have a child, and that reality changed abruptly. It can cause depression, anxiety and feelings of guilt— all this without the input of everyone at the water cooler, informing her that she could have avoided it if only she hadn’t worn those high heels.

It’s for these reasons that Mark Zuckerberg was incredibly brave with his post—not only brave, but worth emulating. Sicknesses like AIDS and cancer used to be spoken of in hushed tones, if that. Awareness campaigns and the steps of brave public figures helped change that.

For cello prof, a life of music

BY Nathaniel Renney-Erbst The Daily Wildcat

Within the depths of the Fred Fox School of Music’s abundance of talent resides a professor who’s regarded as a virtuosic musician.

Dr. Theodore Buchholz is the current professor of cello at the UA, the director of the Tucson Cello Congress and the president of the American String Teachers Association of Arizona. He began teaching at the UA in 2014, doing one-on-one lessons and hosting weekly studio classes for cello majors attending the UA. Hailing from Columbia, South Carolina, Buchholz began playing the cello in sixth grade and from there moved to San Francisco at the age of 17 to attend the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

During this time, Buchholz participated in a number of chamber music groups and professional orchestra ensembles, such as the Monterey Symphony and the Vallejo Symphony.

“Orchestra playing was what I really wanted to do,” Buchholz said.

After finishing his undergraduate studies in San Francisco, Buchholz set his sights on New York and soon gained admittance to the Manhattan School of Music, which he attended for two years.

“There’s really something about New York,” Buchholz said.

“There’s effervescent energy everywhere, so I never felt bogged down.”

Then, one day, while working a shift at a Starbucks to make ends meet, Buchholz had a realization.

“I hated the moments when I could not be doing music,” Buchholz said. “I realized that I had to get out and teach, so I was given the fortunate opportunity to apply [to teach] for the Queens Music School.”

There Buchholz began his career by teaching preparatory students music theory and giving cello lessons.

“The time in New York made me realize that teaching music was so important to me,” Buchholz said.

This position lasted for about a year and a half, and in 2006, he

left New York for Tucson to join the Tucson Symphony Orchestra.

“I worked really hard to create a cello scene in Arizona,” Buchholz said. “I was doing a lot of private teaching and some studio work over at Pima [Community] College.”

In 2008, Buchholz founded the Tucson Cello Congress, a yearly event in which cellists from across the state come together for a weekend of concerts and master classes. Buchholz said he drew inspiration from a local professor in South Carolina who hosted a similar event.

Buchholz’s work with the TSO lasted until 2014, when he was offered his current position as the professor of cello for the Fred Fox School of Music.

One of the major programs that

Buchholz became a member of is the American String Teachers Association.

“I can always remember the superb work that ASTA does; they’re key player[s] in advocating for music education in the country,” Buchholz said.

“Without ASTA’s work, I know of many programs throughout the country that would not exist.”

As the current president, he works alongside many others for promotion of music education.

Currently, Buchholz actively follows his dream of spreading music education throughout the world. This December, Buchholz will be guest teaching at the Boston Conservatory of Music. He also spends his summers teaching and performing.

The work Buchholz does

within the UA School of Music includes training chamber music ensembles, one-on-one lessons, recitals for the general public and a cello studio class.

Under his guidance, the cello studio performs a multitude of music as they begin to master their craft.

The cello studio recently held a competition amongst themselves and in conjunction with professor of harp Carrol McLaughlin’s harp studio. Every student learned and auditioned with Camille SaintSaëns’s “The Swan” from “The Carnival of the Animals.”

The first, second and third place winners will be performing as soloists in an upcoming concert, which takes place Dec. 13 at Saint Paul’s Church. Afterwards, they will be taking the song to the

recording studio to begin working on the release of a CD. “He’s a really wonderful cellist,” said Alberto Macias, a junior in the cello program, of Buchholz.

Similar words of praise are echoed by all of his students.

“He is just a wonderful teacher,” said Sage McCollough, a freshman in the cello program.

Dr. Theodore Buchholz has become a recognized name within the music education community. His efforts are easily seen in the numerous programs, events and concerts he and his students partake in.

Bland story kryptonite for ‘Supergirl’

BY Alex Furrier

The Daily Wildcat

It’s 2015, and the superhero entertainment market is an oversaturated buffet. No one knows when the bubble will burst, but until then the buffet of superhero selections is seemingly endless.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe acts as the godfather of the superhero-film boom, but caped crusaders have also invaded the small screen over the last few years.

Over 10 superhero series currently grace television, and “Supergirl” is the most forgettable—the saltine crackers of the buffet.

I don’t blame “Supergirl.” Creating an exhilarating Superman narrative has proven exceedingly difficult, and here CBS must attempt the same under the constraints of Superman’s lesser-known cousin.

Unfortunately, “Supergirl” doesn’t use the relative obscurity of its heroine as an opportunity to create a product that raises its voice louder than the doldrums of the crowded market.

“Supergirl” is whatever the opposite of fireworks is—the equivalent of an accountant spicing things up at work by showing up to casual Friday in jeans

rather than traditional slacks.

The point is that“Supergirl” opts for the safe and boring route to capitalize on the easy marketing of known products. Like Superman? Great!

Come check out this TV show about his cousin.

“Supergirl” does everything it can to color within the lines of old-school comic book hero tales. Kara Zor-El, aka Kara Danvers, learns life lessons while simultaneously fighting bad guys. CBS is banking on the name recognition of Superman kicking in and attracting viewers who are perfectly happy with run-of-the-mill superhero schlock.

It’s a shame that “Supergirl” goes the route of the forgettable, as it holds potential. In terms of things done right, Melissa Benoist as the title character is at the top of the list. Benoist is somehow able to make the wooden dialogue and character development charming rather than eye-roll inducing.

However, the bumbling dialogue extends throughout the show.

I’m looking at you, oh-so-subtle expositions dumps. (“Like I told you all when we first crashed here and escaped …”)

“Supergirl” eschews its two most interesting angles and treats any moment that touches on these

subjects as hit-and-runs.

First, Kara works for CatCo Worldwide Media, the mirror image of Clark Kent’s Daily Planet newspaper, as a personal assistant to founder Cat Grant. Rather than exploring the idea of media narratives forming public images and twisting opinions into facts, “Supergirl” is satisfied to stay within the trope of having the city’s affection for its superhero flip-flop on the whim of a positive or negative headline.

Second, you would think that CBS would be able to capitalize on having a great female hero in a sea of male superheroes. The show is all over the map when it comes to the presentation of Supergirl as an empowering female figure.

Kara is so laden with stereotypes it’s a wonder her superstrength can save her back from breaking. She works as a glorified secretary to a powerful figure, wears glasses with her hair up and has a serious case of Ugly Duckling Syndrome. It’s aggravating when Kara’s step-sister explains to Kara that she should be satisfied with her “good” life because of two reasons: she has a good job as a secretary and is also good looking.

Later, Kara’s sister marvels at how

pretty she is when she takes off her glasses.

It’s great to have a strong female superhero, but when it’s done with all of the subtlety of an axe to the head the choice comes across as condescending. Case in point: An alien bad guy proclaims that all women should bow down to men and is then defeated by Kara.

“Supergirl” is a plate full of crackers—not particularly interesting, not particularly bad and not particularly anything but bland.

The show fails to differentiate itself from the glut of superhero choices presently available, which is a real shame because Benoist’s Supergirl deserves better than the tasteless, forgettable and confused “Supergirl.”

In music, no advertising is new advertising

BY Cullen Walsh The Daily Wildcat

H

ow do you release an album? For popular musicians, the process seems to become more and more drawn out every year.

For his 2013 comeback release The 20/20 Experience, Justin Timberlake exemplified the most common modern take on music advertising. Leading up to the album, he appeared on “Saturday Night Live,” “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” the Grammy Awards and the Brit Awards, among others, airing more than half the songs off his album before its release on RCA Records. “[Timberlake] has been going with less-ismore,” Tom Corson, the president and COO for RCA Records, told Billboard.

This massive, multi-month campaign model is unquestionably effective. The long build gives consumers plenty of time to preorder their CDs and to spread the word; the method has led to many gold and platinum releases through the decades of its use.

However, the music industry is changing, and the marketing behind its biggest artists seems to be following suit.

From 2013 to 2014 alone, revenue from subscription music streaming services, like Spotify and Groove Music, grew from $1.13 to $1.57 billion, and the format cemented itself as the heart of all digital music revenue. In 2014, digital music profits matched physical sales profits for the first time, and the growth isn’t slowing down.

If this is the new way people are listening to music, how do you advertise for it? Some artists have chosen to completely flip the script.

In December 2013, Beyoncé released a selftitled album out of nowhere, announcing it on the day of release on her Instagram account with just a short trailer and the caption “Surprise!”

The stunt was a success, and she sold 1.3 million copies of her album in the first 17 days of its release.

Other artists have followed in Beyoncé’s footsteps. In 2014, U2 first announced its LP Songs of Innocence on the day of release, and both of Drake’s releases this year—If You’re Reading This, It’s Too Late in February and What a Time to Be Alive in September—were surprise releases.

This sort of sweeping change is unusual for the music industry, and the introduction of this new marketing model is as worrisome as it is inspiring.

Exclusivity powers the surprise release album.

Instead of blanketing the media with promotions for an album, surprise releases rely on a much smaller group of consumers to spread the word themselves and, because those people are made to feel as though they are the discoverers of some big secret, they do so effectively.

“The Beyoncé album came out of nowhere and it was instantly the biggest story across the web, on television news and around the water cooler,” wrote Joe Schlesinger, account director for Gupta Media, the company that helped Beyoncé with her 2013 stunt.

This exclusivity could turn sour, however. All of the releases mentioned here were released first through iTunes. This may simply be because of the ubiquity of the iTunes platform, but it’s hard to imagine going forward—as relatively new streaming services such as Apple Music and TIDAL vie for control over the online music industry—that companies won’t begin paying artists to release their work exclusively on one platform to help boost subscriptions.

This alienates fans who prefer, or can only afford, another service.

Worse still, without the name recognition of superstar musicians like Beyoncé or Drake, the surprise release strategy is neutered. A wide industry swing toward this style of release will

leave developing artists out in the cold.

There is still one great hope yet for the surprise release: the possibility of meritocracy.

The surprise release does not guarantee success, with a prime example being Miley Cyrus, who simultaneously announced and dropped her August release Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz at the tail end of hosting the MTV Video Music Awards. Her album enjoyed mixed to scolding reviews, including a 3/10 from Pitchfork, a 3.5/5 from Rolling Stone and a 1/10 from The Needle Drop.

Though the shock of the release was there, the content was not, and Dead Petz has not followed the commercial success of Cyrus’ 2013 LP Bangerz.

Whichever way we see the trend of the surprise release go in the next five or 10 years, we can be sure of its place in the development of the modern music industry.

For better or worse, how we listen to and receive music is changing, and this is a rare opportunity for consumers to choose who those changes are going to benefit: themselves, record companies, online distributions, big artists or small artists.

Arizona basketball returns in style shouldn’t be too much of a concern for Arizona.

The bench’s depth should prove to be a key to the new-look Arizona squad, as it was in the exhibition. You could see the Chico State players getting tired in the second half as Miller subbed in players like freshmen Chance Comanche and Justin Simon, who were fresh and able to contribute.

This depth will play to the Wildcats’ favor as the season progresses.

A

rizona continues drawing closer to the official start of the men’s basketball season. With the Wildcats winning their exhibition game 90-54 over Chico State in McKale Center on Sunday night, Arizona fans were finally able to get a glimpse at how head coach Sean Miller will operate this season’s team.

Here are some points to take away from Sunday’s action as the Wildcats head into their regular season opener against Pacific on Friday in McKale Center at 7:30 p.m.

Arizona’s starting five After much speculation, Miller decided to go with a starting lineup of Kadeem Allen, Gabe York, Mark Tollefsen, Ryan Anderson and Kaleb Tarczewski.

This group came out hot as they scored 12 straight to begin the game. Defensively, they forced Chico State into difficult shots and rebounded effectively.

“I felt great,” Anderson said. “I’ve been waiting a long time to play. I think it showed in my energy level and I think, as a team, we played really hard.”

Anderson was easily the player of the game, finishing with 19 points, 10 rebounds—including five offensive—and three blocks. “[Anderson] is like a work horse,” Tarczewski said. “He had five offensive rebounds today and a lot of them were put-back dunks. He always has

that feel for the ball.”

After sitting out last season, the Boston College transfer has been making preseason statements at the exhibition, in practice and at the Red-Blue Game.

“The one constant for us has been Ryan Anderson,” Miller said. “Hands down our best player. Every day.”

Miller has praised Allen for his tough defense early on and it made sense to see him start over Parker Jackson-Cartwright.

Allen played tough against Chico State, contesting each shot on defense and distributing the ball well on offense. Allen has a big job to replace the reigning king of McKale Center in T.J.

McConnell.

York looked sharp, Zeus displayed his newly found midrange jump shot and Tollefsen added another strong defensive presence on the court.

Bench looks rusty The reserve players struggled a bit to get things going while the starting lineup impressed.

Jackson-Cartwright and freshman Allonzo Trier fought to find their flow early on offense and finished with seven and 13 points, respectively. Center Dusan Ristic also needed some time to get things going, finishing with seven points.

There are bound to be mistakes in the first games of any season and the early struggles

Defense and fast breaks: Arizona’s most dangerous weapons Defense has always been the trademark of Arizona basketball, and this year is no different.

The Wildcats needed to find their next defensive spark after losing Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and McConnell.

Allen and Elliot Pitts played well defensively with Anderson and Tollefsen also blocking shots.

“In the first half, we had some great moments on defense, but what we didn’t do is rebound very well,” Miller said. “Any good defensive team is going to be a good rebounding team and we talked a lot about that at halftime.”

The Wildcats finished the game with 39 rebounds to Chico State’s 32, but Chico State had 13 offensive rebounds to Arizona’s nine.

The Wildcats will use this tough defense to spark their transition offense, which looked good when used Sunday night.

Whether it was Allen, York or JacksonCartwright, Arizona was able to find good looks and easy dunks, especially in the second half.

This transition offense will be crucial as Miller and company open their season Friday night.

High-power Huskies cruise by Wildcats

BY Ivan Leonard The Daily Wildcat

It was a sad Sunday afternoon for No. 19 Arizona volleyball fans in McKale Center as the Wildcats fell to No. 3 Washington in a sweep.

Washington swept the season series with the win, as the Huskies beat the Wildcats three sets to one in Seattle.

“I think Washington, if it plays like that, has a chance to win the whole thing,” said Arizona head coach Dave Rubio.

Penina Snuka led the Wildcat attack with 32 assists and 11 digs to give her a conference-high 16

double-doubles.

Kalei Mau tallied 12 kills and 10 errors, while Laura Larson added 12 digs. It was Larson’s ninth straight match with 10 or more digs for the Wildcats this season.

Sophomore setter Bailey Tanner led the Huskies’ attack with 24 assists and four kills on .500 hitting, while senior defensive specialist Cassie Strickland added 20 digs and four assists.

The Huskies jumped out to early leads in the first two sets and rode the momentum to 25-16 and 25-17 victories, respectively.

The Wildcats put up a better fight in the last set by opening with a

lead, but the Huskies proved to be too much, as they came back and defeated Arizona 25-20.

Washington limited the Wildcats to .152 attacking while out-digging Arizona 55 to 52. Washington consistently kept the Wildcats from getting into a rhythm as the Huskies out blocked the Wildcats 8.5 to four and kept every player but Mau from tallying more than six kills.

With the loss, Arizona drops to 16-10 on the season and 6-8 in conference play. The Wildcats could very well be the only ranked team with double-digit losses when the new AVCA Coaches Poll is released.

The Huskies snapped what was Arizona’s first winning streak since mid-September as the Wildcats have been wildly inconsistent in Pac-12 Conference play.

Washington improved to 22-2 on the season with its two losses coming to No. 2 USC and No. 7 Stanford. Washington defeated two ranked teams this weekend in Arizona and ASU; so the Huskies could potentially be in play for the top spot as they have received firstplace votes since knocking of then No. 1 USC on Oct. 30.

After starting the season 8-0, including a five-game streak of sweeps, the Wildcats have been

pedestrian at best with an 8-10 record since.

Arizona heads north this week as it faces Utah and Colorado before returning to McKale Center on Nov. 20.

The Wildcats’ remaining home games this season are against No. 2 USC, No. 9 UCLA and No. 20 ASU. With multiple ranked opponents, the Wildcats have their work cut out for them as the season comes to a close.

Trojan comeback downs Arizona

BY Ezra Amacher The Daily Wildcat

Arizona football fell to USC 38-30 late Saturday night in a game that featured an early Wildcat lead, only to be followed by a stinging Trojans comeback.

The loss moves Arizona to 5-5 on the season and 2-5 in the Pac-12 Conference.

“We just didn’t execute when we needed to,” said Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez. “I’m not happy.”

Early on, it looked like Arizona might give USC a scare.

After going three-and-out in their first two drives of the game, the Wildcats’ offense capitalized on a big play from the defense—a midfield fumble recovery by linebacker Jake Matthews—that put Arizona in a good scoring position.

Anu Solomon put Arizona on the board first, six plays later with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Nate Phillips.

The Wildcats played perhaps their best opening quarter of the season behind an aggressive defensive attack that consistently forced USC quarterback Cody Kessler into pressure, as Arizona outgained the Trojans 125 to 12 yards in the first 15 minutes.

Solomon connected to David Richards for a three-yard score on the first play of the second quarter to make it 14-0 Arizona.

USC next marched down the field inside Arizona’s 10-yard line, but was forced to settle for a field goal, which made the score 14-3.

The Wildcats looked ready to respond with another score until Solomon threw an interception

that was returned by USC’s John Plattenburg for 22 yards.

Kessler found Trojans receiver JuJu SmithSchuster sprinting down the field for a 72-yard touchdown reception on the very next play. The score made it 14-10 Arizona with 9:15 to go in the second quarter.

An ensuing field goal put Arizona back up by a touchdown, but USC answered again, this time with a 13-play, 82-yard touchdown drive to tie up the game with three minutes remaining in the half.

Arizona’s final drive of the first half ended with a

Hail Mary attempt, but to no avail.

The Wildcats received the ball to open the second half and mustered a six-play drive that resulted in a 38-yard field goal by Casey Skowron.

Those would be the only points scored in the third quarter.

A 9-yard run from USC running back Justin Davis on the first play of the fourth quarter put the Trojans up 24-20. The touchdown run capped off a seven-play, 50-yard drive.

A pair of three-and-outs followed the USC scoring drive before Arizona answered with a

44-yard field goal to make the score 24-23 Trojans.

The 1-point deficit didn’t last long, however, as USC answered on a 73-yard touchdown run by Ronald Jones II. The freshman running back broke through a line of Wildcat defenders before gliding into the end zone.

USC cushioned its lead late in the fourth quarter with a short touchdown run by Davis to make it 3823 and virtually put the game out of reach.

Arizona responded with a touchdown in garbage time on the final full drive of the game, courtesy of receiver Cayleb Jones.

Solomon finished with 352 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while his counterpart Kessler finished with 243 passing yards and two touchdowns. Arizona running back Jared Baker finished with 63 carries on 13 attempts to Jones II and Davis’ combined 262 rushing yards and three touchdowns.

Phillips and Richard led the Wildcats’ receiving corps with six receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown, and nine receptions for 86 yards and a touchdown, respectively. Smith-Schuster hauled in eight receptions, 138 yards and a touchdown for the Trojans.

The Wildcats’ chance at earning a bowl bid for the fourth straight season under Rodriguez took a hit with the 38-30 loss. Arizona will be forced to take down a ranked Utah at home or ASU on the road if it wishes to appear in the postseason.

“We’ve got to coach better and play better,” Rodriguez said.

Big plays stump befuddled Wildcats

BY Kyle Hansen

The Daily Wildcat

A

fter so many disappointing weeks for Arizona, with its most recent coming as a 493 blowout loss to Washington, the Wildcats were not expected to show anything different on the road against a resurgent USC team.

Then the seemingly unheard of happened: the Wildcats showed up to play.

Arizona came out firing against USC, leading 14-3 in the first quarter and looking sharp, even on defense.

The Wildcats were able to force some stops on defense when they trailed 24-20 late in the second half.

Casey Skowron kicked a 44-yard field goal and, all of a sudden, Arizona was

down by one point and still in the game late in a contest.

However, Arizona couldn’t finish the job, and they only have themselves to blame.

“We battled. We didn’t execute when we needed to. [I’m] not happy,” said Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez.

Arizona looked really good on both sides of the ball at the beginning of the game. It was the best defensive start the team has had in all of Pac-12 Conference play and its best game since Oregon State.

Players like Jake Matthews, Tellas Jones and Anthony Lopez were finally creating the quarterback pressure the Wildcats have lacked all season—and this was against Cody Kessler. Where was this against the inexperienced likes of Jake Browning and Luke Falk?

However, as we have seen all season, the Wildcats failed to wrap up their tackles. As the game wore

on and the defense kept getting to Kessler, they still could not finish plays, resulting in a couple of secondhalf drives staying alive for the Trojans.

“We’ve got to maintain it for four quarters,” Rodriguez said. “We can’t let the guy run 72 yards when we know he’s going to run it. We tackled like it was flag football or something.”

Ronald Jones II took the ball to the house on a 74-yard run, when both Lopez and Jamar Allah failed to bring him down. Plays like that ended up costing Arizona the game.

Quarterback Anu Solomon, who had not thrown a single interception until Washington, threw his third of the season when the Wildcats were driving up 14-3 in the first quarter.

Aside from that blemish, Solomon still finished the game 31-46 with 352 yards and three touchdown passes.

That one mistake, however, caused the momentum to swing in the first half as Kessler threw a bomb to JuJu

Smith-Schuster for a 72-yard score on the ensuing Trojan drive.

“It was just poor execution by me,” Solomon said. “Josh [Kern] was in the seam, and I just threw it up.”

This momentum took the wind out of the Wildcats’ sails just as they were beginning to make a statement.

There is also this thing called play calling.

The Wildcats caught a break— something that hasn’t happened all season—in the form of a missed 34-yard field goal by USC kicker Alex Wood, while leading 20-17 late in the third quarter. Arizona was once again put into a position to bolster its lead and make another statement.

On a third down and on the USC 49, they ran a draw out of the shotgun to Orlando Bradford that lost a yard.

Rodriguez decided to go for it on fourth down, and what did they run?

The same exact play. USC stuffed the Wildcats at the line and proceeded to march back down the field to take a

24-20 lead.

The Wildcats, plain and simple, did not execute when it mattered most. For once, they looked like a resilient team and played like they had nothing to lose. Overall, it was a terrific game compared to what we’ve seen over the last month, and the Wildcats showed us what they are capable of. But the costly mistakes proved to be too much in the end.

The Wildcats will need to show more of this dedication and pride when they take on Utah and ASU with bowl eligibility on the line to end the season.

“We’ve just got to keep working,” Solomon said. “We’ve got two big games coming up and two opportunities to show what we really have.”

Exercise your cortisol control “[Students] are more likely to get a cold going into exam week,” Keen said.

High blood pressure can be a longterm outcome of elevated cortisol levels in the bloodstream. Vessels constrict to stop the unnecessary blood from entering the extremities, sending it to other body parts, such as the kidneys. The kidneys receive 2025 percent of the oxygenated blood to filter waste at a normal blood pressure, according to Konhilas. This percentage increases to about 30-40 percent with high blood pressure.

An increase in pressure due to stress stretches the organ’s vessels and can cause long-term damage to the kidneys. The damage can affect the ability of the kidney to remove waste and excess fluid.

This may sound like an extreme effect of prolonged stress, yet high blood pressure is the second leading cause of kidney failure in the U.S., according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.

BY Kaitlyn Fletcher The Daily Wildcat

Whether a result of an upcoming deadline at school or problems with financial responsibilities, stress is a common part of life.

Cortisol is a hormone that is responsible for regulating the body’s daily fluctuations of stress. The body adapts to environmental and internal stressors “based on need,” according to Dr. John Konhilas, who received his Ph.D. in physiology from the University of Illinois at Chicago and is currently an associate professor of physiology at the UA. Abnormal amounts of stress, however, can cause serious problems with the natural functions and behaviors of the human body.

The Natural Rhythm Hormones are regulatory chemicals that are produced in specialized glands and transported through the bloodstream to target specific organs and tissues. These powerful substances can control the body’s day-night cycle—called circadian rhythm—which regulates bodily functions, like wakefulness.

Much of this rhythm is controlled by a small part of the brain called the hypothalamus, which controls the release of hormones and ensures that all of the body’s systems are properly regulated. A slight imbalance in this internal clock can lead to negative consequences.

Cortisol begins to build up overnight and peaks around 8 a.m., according to Douglas Keen, a senior lecturer in the department of Physiology. Cortisol slowly declines throughout the rest of the day. It is natural for cortisol to be secreted in response to physical stress, such as intense exercise or a “fight or flight” situation. The hormone, however, should return to its normal pattern afterward.

The problem is that a high-stress lifestyle does not allow cortisol to return to natural levels after a stressful event, according to the Mayo Clinic.

This elevates the starting point of the circadian rhythm.

A Fight with the Enemy Prolonged levels of high cortisol can cause health problems, including

Jordan Gunning, a nutrition sophomore, lifts weights at the Student Recreation Center on Oct. 12. Physical exercise helps moderate the circadian rhythm by regulating the release of cortisol.

sleep disruption, impaired cognitive ability, blood-sugar imbalance, weakened immune function and high blood pressure.

Stress can affect a sleep hormone called melatonin, which is regulated by levels of light and peaks at night to make the body drowsy. The body can be willed to push through this innate desire with caffeine or other substances, but doing so will reset the peak of melatonin on the circadian rhythm to a different time.

The sleep cycle is now temporarily changed until the brain can reset itself.

College students are one of the

most sleep-deprived populations, according to Campus Mind Works, an online resource created by the University of Michigan Depression Center. Sleep deprivation can translate to difficulty with the cognitive processes of applying and generating new knowledge.

Information is solidified during the sleep cycle, which increases longterm retention of new material, according to Keen. Proper sleep is necessary to learn. Research has also shown that sleep deprivation can lead to high cortisol levels.

Those all-nighters are a lose-lose for college students.

Another function of cortisol is to raise blood sugar for a boost of energy in a “fight or flight” situation.

Yet, prolonged high levels of this stress hormone can decrease insulin sensitivity, which can lead to diabetes and abdominal weight gain.

The immune system is also weakened during times of increased stress levels. Inflammation is caused when the body tries to fight off a pathogen. Cortisol has an antiinflammatory effect, counteracting this defense process. Humans can become vulnerable to disease after consecutive days of elevated cortisol levels.

Defeating the Foe A normal exercise routine and sleep cycle can help alleviate the levels of cortisol in the bloodstream.

Exercise is a physical release of the cortisol hormone and allows the levels to return to a normal rhythm, according to Keen. A temporary increase in cardiac output helps with regulation of blood-glucose levels, enhancing the insulin receptor pathway for up to 24 hours after physical activity. An elevated heart rate during exercise allows extremities to receive the required blood flow to continue their correct function. This condition turns into a high blood pressure problem when the cardiac output stays elevated at rest.

Keen referred to the maintenance of these natural systems in order to lead a long and healthy life the “old use-it-or-lose-it phenomenon.” An understanding of this biological clock and its functions help researchers develop treatments for sleep disorders and other health problems, as well as procedures for stress management.

Trainers support student-athletes

BY Genevieve Patterson The Daily Wildcat

Many are familiar with the injuries that plague college athletes. Long hours pushing the body to its limits can impose a taxing physical burden. That’s where athletic trainers come in: working behind the scenes to support the health and fitness of Arizona student-athletes.

“Athletic training is part of the allied heath professions. We are responsible or we cover anyone that is considered an active athlete or an active patient,” said Douglas Contaoi, an associate athletic trainer for the UA. “We’re involved in evaluation, prevention, treatment and management of athletic-related injuries.”

While athletic trainers are most frequently associated with tape, elastic bandages and ice bags, which are all valuable tools of the trade, they also utilize a number of different tools to help heal athletes.

“In the training room we have different therapeutic modalities,” Contaoi said. “One is the electrical stimulation … for pain control or muscle-spasm reduction. We have therapeutic ultrasound, which is a deep-heating effect for soft tissue injuries. We have different softtissue mobilization tools. … We have a massage tool called the DMS. We also have a cold laser device that is shown to help improve soft-tissue injuries.”

The athletic training program not only supports athletes, it also provides opportunities for undergraduate students to gain hands-on experience working in the athletic training technicians program. “[Our program] is a gateway for people to figure out if this is a viable career for them—not only athletic training, specifically, but any type of … network within sports medicine,” Contaoi,

Training equipment inside McKale Center on Oct. 23. Athletic trainers and athletic training technicians provide treatment and support for student-athletes during practice and in the training room.

the coordinator for the program, said.

Athletic training technicians have a range of responsibilities during both practice and in the training room. During practice, techs set up coolers and water racks and provide basic medical treatment, including stretching, taping, and the provision of basic first aid and ice bags. In the training room, techs assist athletic trainers with treatments and injury maintenance.

This experience really gives students a chance to apply some of the material they learn in the classroom.

“This semester I am in Physiology 201, and we have covered the skeletal and muscular system,” said Bradley Lewis, a sophomore studying pre-physiology and molecular and cellular biology and an athletic training technician. “It is truly satisfactory to come

into the training room and realize I actually understand what the trainers are talking about and why they do things they do. It has helped me understand evaluations—tests that are used to determine what is causing the pain or injury of the athlete—since I have learned what types of actions certain muscles [are] used for.”

Lewis said that not just PSIO 201 has helped him succeed in the athletic training technicians program, but biology classes as well.

While most sports fans look forward to the outcome of the next game, a dedicated team working to maintain athletes’ health throughout the season focuses on injury prevention and recovery, or, as Contaoi said, the “bookends” of sports.

Try alternative means to ease your cold

BY Pearl Lam

The Daily Wildcat

T

hose days where everyone in your class is coughing and sneezing are upon us. But when getting good sleep and taking medication are just not enough, start thinking about natural ways to get through the sick days ahead.

Everyday foods, for example, such as honey, ginger and mint, have always been around to make any hot beverage soothing for that stubborn cold. While they are no absolute cure, herbal medicines, such as in teas or capsules, are ideal for people who want natural and often immediate relief.

“I’m all about sick teas,” said

Ndekela Sakala, a junior studying biochemistry and psychology employed at the Scented Leaf Tea House and Lounge. “What I’ve been doing lately is mixing our Pink Ribbon Peppermint with ginger, lemon and honey, just because the mint opens up your airways, the ginger is spicy and coats your throat along with the smoothness of the honey.”

What is special about peppermint? According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, is it acts as both a decongestant and expectorant because it contains menthol, an organic compound that thins mucus, breaking up coughs and phlegm. These effects are similar to those in popular over-the-counter

drugs.

Deciding between plants or drugs is entirely up to the individual, but how to administer these herbal therapies will still require consultation to some degree, especially for therapies targeting more serious or chronic conditions.

“I think it is great that the public is so interested in herbal medicines,” said Dr. David Kiefer, an associate clinical professor of medicine at the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, “but people need to know what they’re doing.”

According to Kiefer, consulting a doctor or a pharmacist would greatly reduce the risks of herbal medicine misuse, including mislabeling and overdose. At-risk

groups include children and pregnant women, whose fetus may experience negative side effects from therapy exposure.

While pharmaceuticals are fast and convenient, some may prefer an alternative.

“Working here at the Scented Leaf has really put into perspective on how people wanted to be treated,” Sakala said. “Not everyone wants the drug.”

Herbal medicines, from teas to capsules, have huge potential.

“There’s no special demographic that may benefit from plants more than others,” Kiefer said. “Plants are part of who we are.”

Skip the lift with classes at the Rec BY emma jackson The Daily Wildcat

M

any students go to the Student Recreation Center expecting to get a good workout in, but when they arrive, they aren’t really sure how. Going to the Rec Center can be nerve-wracking for some students; it’s perpetually crowded and seems to be full of people who actually know what they’re doing. Going downstairs seems to be unheard of by most girls because most guys down there have biceps bigger than the size of our heads.

My friends and I found the solution to save ourselves from lifting-related embarrassment downstairs: skip it all-together and go to one of the Rec Center’s group exercise classes.

Campus Recreation offers group exercise classes in a motivational setting led by certified group fitness instructors. Campus Recreation currently offers up to 15 classes on weekdays and four classes on Saturday mornings and

Sunday evenings. The drop-in-style classes are either 30, 45 or 60 minutes in length.

Rec members must purchase semester passes for $59, while non-members must pay $79. The pass allows participants to take an unlimited amount of classes throughout the semester without having to register prior to each class. One-class passes can also be purchased for $7.

Campus Recreation offers a wide variety of classes, ranging from Candlelight Yoga and Pilates to Butts ‘N Guts and Spin. Recently, I attended Spin ‘N Core, Total Body Blast and Power Yoga.

Spin ‘N Core is a 45-minute class offered Monday and Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday at 5:30 p.m. The Rec Center’s fall 2015 group fitness schedule describes the class as “an energizing workout that blends cycling technique, breathing awareness and heart rate training into one.”

This class was nice because it seemed to go by really fast, but it was still a solid workout.

The class split about 30 minutes of cycling with 15 minutes of core and stretching. I went Tuesday when Shawna instructed. She made the class exciting with good music and frequent

encouragement, along with a variety of cycling techniques, such as sitting hills, standing hills and intervals.

I went to Total Body Blast, taught by Denise, on Friday at 12:10 p.m. Samantha also teaches this class on Monday at 12:10 p.m.. This 30-minute class was very high-intensity. To me, it felt like we fit 45 minutes worth of working out into one 30-minute class. It had short breaks and worked the entire body with cardio and strength moves, making it effective in a short period of time.

Campus Recreation said Total Body Blast “incorporates weights, balls and BOSU [Balance Trainers] to blast calories, create lean muscle and shape your body.”

As someone who only has a short amount of time to work out between classes, Total Body Blast is the perfect class to energize my afternoon.

I’ve tried out a few different yoga classes at the Rec Center, but haven’t found them to be the best. These classes better suit yoga newbies or yogis who prefer low-intensity, non-hot yoga. I have a favorite hot yoga studio in my hometown, so the Rec Center’s normaltemperature yoga classes didn’t really seem like

a workout.

I do, however, like going to yoga classes at the Rec Center if I’m sore and want to stretch, or just need to take some time to de-stress. The one that I go to most frequently is Power Yoga, which is offered Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings.

The Rec Center describes Power Yoga as a “dynamic and challenging yoga style. … Learn about the power of proper alignment, breathing and the benefits it can provide.”

Something I got out of Power Yoga was 45 minutes of relaxation to focus on my breathing patterns, while linking my breath to my body through a Vinyasa flow.

I would highly recommend taking advantage of the group exercise classes the Rec Center offers students. The sheer multitude of classes and times offered make it extremely easy to find at least one personal match. Intimidation really goes to the wind when a whole group of people support each other in their workouts.

Cleanse your body with these juices

BY Emma Jackson The Daily Wildcat

After an eventful few weeks of midterms, Homecoming and Halloween, it may seem like a good time for a detox. Here are a few recipes to try to benefit weight, skin and fight off common colds.

Skin-clearing juice: This recipe is from Williamsburg’s Grass Roots Juicery via an article by Calvin Van Paris in Vogue. Skin will feel smoother, softer and more hydrated after this cucumber-based juice.

1 ½ cucumbers 2 celery stalks 2 carrots 1 cup beets (with skin!) ½ handful parsley Juice for the common cold: This citrus-based juice geared to increase Vitamin C intake was created by Vanessa Simkins, founder of All About Juicing.

2 oranges 1 grapefruit 1 lime ½ cup of cranberries Juice for weight loss: This recipe by Katie Cavuto is from an article by Robin Hilmantel in Women’s Health.

The Lift-Off juice was created for weight loss. “Dark leafy greens are rich in calcium, which has been associated with weight loss,” Cavuto told Women’s Health. “The ginger may also help keep your hunger in check.”

2 leaves Swiss chard 2 leaves collard greens 1 cup kale 1 cup spinach ½ medium cucumber 1 inch fresh gingerroot, peeled ½ medium lemon, peeled

Four tips to survive a juice cleanse Pick a good time to do it “Only do a cleanse when you know you can do it successfully,” Suja Juice co-founder Annie Lawless told Elle. “If you have a friend’s wedding, a romantic vacation, or a holiday coming up, don’t try to be on a juice cleanse while everyone else is eating delicious food and you are surrounded. Be realistic about your goals and set yourself up for success by planning to cleanse when you have the time and break in schedule to do so.”

Plan ahead “If you like to be prepared, you can plan out your juices for the week and what you’re going to throw in them,” said Amanda Brocket of MindBodyGreen. “It’s good to have a rough idea of the types of juices or green smoothies you’ll be making during the fast, and shop accordingly. This avoids waste and saves money.”

Use a variety of colors Using a variety of colors in a juice, such as a carrot, beet, ginger and celery blend, creates a well-rounded source of nutrients.

“Just mixing it up with colors like that— each vegetable group has its own vitamin groups, so when you blend the colors, you get a good variety,” said physiology senior Allen Maxwell.

Don’t force yourself into a cleanse that’s not good for your body “Striving to eat clean, all natural foods is fantastic, but you don’t need to do a cleanse or detox to be healthy,” dietician Cynthia Sass told ABC News. “If your body, mind, or both don’t react well to limiting your diet, even for three, five, or seven days, don’t put yourself through it.”

Juicing gear makes all the difference If trying a juice cleanse is something you think you would like to do, you’ll need to do some research to make sure you’re buying the right juicer. Here are some things to keep in mind while looking to buy a juicer:

• Able to easily juice all greens, herbs and grasses •

Cold pressed, to produce a superior

juice

• Multiple speeds, which will allow you to extract the most juice out of your produce. Use a low speed for juicing soft fruits and a high speed for juicing vegetables.

• Low noise • Size of the feeder tube: look for a wide

tube, so most fruits and vegetables can easily fit.

• Easy to use and clean, especially good if the parts can go in a dishwasher and can easily be put back together after washing.

• Pulp ejection: Joe Cross, a wellness advocate, recommends purchasing one that ejects the pulp externally, which allows you to make larger quantities of juice without having to take extra time to stop your juices, open it up and empty the basket.

Going cold-turkey on caffeine: a memoir

BY Brenna Bailey The Daily Wildcat

L

et’s get this out there: I’m an avid user of caffeine. With that in mind, why I decided to give up caffeine during one of my busiest school weeks thus far still puzzles me.

I admit, I make countless lifestyle choices that probably hurt my well-being on the regular, but the worst of my collegeinspired habits by far resonate with my vice: caffeine. I’m so addicted to caffeine that my body truly cannot make it through an entire day without drinking at least a cup of coffee or a Red Bull, or both—often both, times two.

On a normal day, I probably drink two to three cups of coffee.

On an extra-festive day, I’ll drink three to four. According to the Mayo Clinic’s website, four cups of coffee equates to about 400

milligrams of caffeine, which is a safe amount for most adults to consume. Drinking any more than 400 milligrams can cause symptoms such as nervousness, insomnia and muscle tremors.

Here’s the breakdown of how the whole cold-turkey process went, in brief: I broke down. I originally planned to withhold from drinking or eating any sources of caffeine for three days.

I only managed to last two.

Upon waking up Monday morning, I didn’t notice feeling any less energized than usual, but every moment thereafter contributed to a seemingly ceaseless, decaffeinated downward spiral. I felt the cold grips of reality welcome me to my own personal decaffeinated hell for the next two days.

I couldn’t focus, and I felt increasingly tired with each class I attended. As I sat at my cubicle at work, my eyes drooped and my brain struggled to form coherent sentences and thoughts as I spoke to my coworkers. In the evening, I attempted to do homework

assignments and practice piano, but in the end, these tasks were out of the question. Instead of persevering through the pain, I fell asleep around 8:30 p.m.

Tuesday was definitely not as awful as Monday.

I was an overall more functional member of society, but my need to stay up late to complete projects and basic homework assignments trumped my desire to kick my caffeine addiction. So ended the two days of my caffeine-less life.

Life without my nagging addiction was surprisingly difficult. I asked my most trusted source, WebMD, why my physical and mental being felt dead when

“

I wasn’t caffeinated. According to WebMD, regular caffeine use can cause a mild physical dependence, but not to the extent that it’s considered a full-out drug addiction; it’s just minor.

Caffeine dependencies don’t threaten physical, social or economic health in the way harder drugs do. Thank goodness.

However, if people who consume more than two servings of caffeine every day abruptly cut off their intake, physically debilitating withdrawal symptoms can manifest.

I can vouch for this, WebMD. After I quit caffeine cold turkey, I pretty much immediately experienced every symptom

The aftermath of both a complete lack of and an excess of caffeine consumption are awful. Maybe I should re-evaluate my dependence on caffeine by drinking less coffee and energy drinks. Maybe I should seek to find balance.

But, then again, how else am I going to stay up until two in the morning to complete all the work I’ve procrastinated on?

UA program promotes health for all suffering from eating disorders.

BY Sam gross

The Daily Wildcat

While the Freshman 15 may be a problem that forever plagues university students, it doesn’t stop the UA from fighting the good fight and giving its students the resources to stay healthy.

The Well University Partnership is a UA program developed and launched in 2006 to “create and foster a supportive wellness culture within the campus community,” according to the Well U website.

Well U’s resources are available to all students and faculty.

Here are some highlights of what the program offers.

Campus Health Nutrition Clinic The Campus Health Nutrition Clinic offers one-on-one consultations for students and faculty regarding nutrition education, how to eat healthy on campus and sports nutrition. The clinic also has medical nutrition therapy available for those with food allergies and deficiencies and offers help for those who may be

Employee Wellness Employee Wellness and Health Promotion is a program within Well U that is entirely dedicated to UA employees and assisting them with living a healthy lifestyle. Available to all employees who are benefit eligible, the program provides everything from fitness and nutrition counseling to flu shots.

Campus Recreation and Intramurals The Student Recreation Center and its intramural programs are also under the umbrella of Well U. More or less the brick and mortar representation of Well U, the Rec Center offers a plethora of fitness classes, an Olympic-sized swimming pool and a state-of-the-art weight room.

Health Services The Campus Health Service is more than just the standard clinic and pharmacy. Under Well U, Campus Health also offers a sports

medicine clinic, a women’s health clinic, counseling and psychological services, immunizations and even counseling on how to speak to a friend who you know may be in need of help. eCHECKUP TO GO Well U also provides the eCHECKUP TO GO alcohol use survey. Meant to be a reality check on how much each individual student drinks, the program asks questions related to alcohol and substance consumption, quantifies it and compares the results to the rest of the university population.

Campus Lifestyle From sexually transmitted disease testing to healthy sleep habits, the UA is there to make sure college doesn’t totally destroy students’ lives. The Campus Lifestyle portion of Well U is designed as a guide to managing the various aspects that comprise the college experience.

answers to your ques�ons about sex and rela�onships “Menstruation” comes from the Latin and Greek words for month and moon. Both the moon and menstrual cycles take about 28 days to complete.

In an average 28 day cycle, which for some women may range anywhere between 21 to 35 days, Day 1 represents when menstrual bleeding begins. Halfway through the cycle, on Day 14, the egg is typically released, initiating ovulation. While the egg can only survive for about 24 hours, sperm can live inside a woman’s body as long as five days, making fertilization possible for those five days following intercourse.

Women are typically least fertile in the few days before, during, and

after the arrival of their period (menstruation), though cycles can change and an egg can theoretically be released at any point during the menstrual cycle. Because of the potential for irregularity, fertility awareness – or “timing” sexual activity – is not considered a very effective form of birth control for most individuals. Better options include birth control pills (which are safe and up to 99% effective when taken correctly), condoms (which require no prescription and have the added benefit of STD protection) or abstinence (which is free and eliminates the possibility of both pregnancy and STDs).

At the risk of stating the obvious, the least likely “time” is when birth control pills, condoms or other contraceptive methods are used consistently and correctly, or when abstaining from sexual intercourse altogether. In the absence of these forms of birth control, the odds of getting pregnant tend to be the lowest as far away from ovulation (when the egg is released) as possible.
