Americans dislike uncivil political rhetoric, though the recent presidential election would seem to suggest otherwise. A 2011 survey from the National Institute for Civil Discourse showed 82 percent of Americans agreed with the statement, “some negative advertisements are so nasty I stop paying attention to what the candidates are saying.” That overall feeling likely hasn’t changed much, according to Carolyn Lukensmeyer, NICD executive director, though this election did tap into “very deep and very raw” personal feelings. “We’ve never seen, in modern American political history, a presidential election that was this bitterly contested—that got this ugly in terms of the rhetoric,” Lukensmeyer said. “Whichever candidate would have won, we would’ve been in a situation where neighbors weren’t talking with each other.” Chris Segrin, UA communication department head, agreed this was new territory for political rhetoric. “We’re in a new era of political discourse,” Segrin said. “People are much more willing to speak openly and not edit themselves. Historically, people were more measured. They had a sense of decorum and were respectful.” That lack of respect isn’t limited to politicians but applies to celebrities and other public figures, too. Segrin pointed to the way Kanye West recently went into a political rant onstage at a concert. “I felt so bad for the people who payed $100 to hear music, to hear his concert, and got a rant,” Segrin said. “There’s not as much consideration for how your words will make others feel anymore.” Both Segrin and Lukensmeyer urged people to repair relationships that have been damaged

Students abroad weigh-in on election results BY ELIZABETH O’CONNELL @_eoconnell
Since election night, the country has watched protestors take to the streets in opposition of Presidentelect Donald Trump. The results of the election came as a shock not only to the country, but to the rest of the world. Dana Willis, a family studies and human development junior studying abroad in Alcalá de Henares, Spain. She said people have been talking about the election since she arrived in Alcalá de Henares at the start of the semester. “In general, my Spanish friends, families and professors considered Hillary Clinton the obvious choice,” Willis said. “There were a lot of questions about why Donald Trump was even an option.” Annie Nguyen, a nutritional sciences junior, experienced similar sentiments in Nottingham, England leading up to the night of the election. “Most think the debates are quite entertaining and funny, but they became more serious and worried about the election as the final day drew closer,” Nguyen said. Corie Linn, a junior studying Spanish , is studying abroad in Viña del Mar, Chile. She said there’s been a lot of negative emotion towards the election. “The people here in Chile, from my point of view, have clearly wanted Hillary,” Linn said. “Not because they liked her, but because they don’t like Trump.” Once the results came in on election night, both Nguyen and Willis noticed a change in news coverage.
The Spanish news coverage of what’s happening in the U.S. is constant, according to Willis. News crews even arrived at her institution to capture the responses of American students. “Trump is now everywhere,” Nguyen said. “In London, he’s on billboards. In Ireland, he’s on the café advertising boards outside the shops. On buses people discuss the election and what they think Trump will do.” In Chile, Linn said people are constantly coming up to her and the group of Americans at the university she attends. People ask Linn and other American students if they want to stay in Chile forever, and how could Americans be so stupid? “I have encountered a variety of these questions since the election has passed,” Linn said. “Everyone has gone on to live their lives just as before, but it’s as if everyone is sitting on the edge of their seats waiting for the world to end.” Nguyen explained how the University of Nottingham is a major international hub of students. Since attending classes, she has gained perspectives from not only the British, but people from Singapore, Indonesia, Germany, Poland, Belgium and Italy. She said her international friends are worried about Trump’s impact on international relations. “Like Brexit, Trump is so unpredictable, so the main consensus is that they are all curious to see what he will do in these next four years,” Nguyen said. Linn also attends a university with international students from

10 other countries. She explained how every single one of them knew about the election. They discuss American politics and how the decisions of the U.S. will affect them. “This experience has allowed me to see the bigger picture,” Linn said. “It made me realize how important our decisions are as a country. When America isn’t united, the rest of the world can see that, and it makes them nervous.” Nguyen said how certain aspects of being in England have made her proud to be an American. The efficiency and the opportunities offered in America have made Nguyen look at it in a better light. “Being here has made me appreciate the diversity we’ve been exposed to and all the cultures we are able to get a taste of, compared to people living in other European or Asian countries,” Nguyen said. “But—and this isn’t necessarily new because there’s always been certain issues that I don’t like about America—it’s solidified my frustration with how we’ve handled key issues.” After living in a different country during this election cycle, Linn, Nguyen and Willis all say their views on America have changed in some way. “It has been interesting to learn about what people in other countries assume about Americans,” Willis said. “Some would say we care most about money and power instead of people and family. I love America, but I do wish we cared more about learning other cultures, languages and ways of life.”

Regents keep $180,000 med. school review secret BY STEPHANIE INNES THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR
An independent review of the University of Arizona’s two medical schools, which has not been released to the public, cost the state nearly $180,000 in taxpayer money. And the former dean of the UA College of Medicine Phoenix, whose departure in part prompted the review, says he was never interviewed for the report. The Arizona Board of Regents says it has paid the law firm Lewis Roca Rothgerber Christie LLP $179,653 as of Nov. 16 for its report on the UA Colleges of Medicine. The Board of Regents is the governing body for the state’s public university system. After a special meeting in August, the regents announced they would hire an outside expert to review concerns about the medical schools. The regents held the August meeting due to increasing scrutiny of the medical schools and their leadership. Governance of the UA’s two medical schools, which are separately accredited, ultimately falls under UA senior vice president of health sciences Dr. Joe G.N. “Skip” Garcia and UA President Ann Weaver Hart. Garcia, who reports directly to Hart, oversees all of the UA’s health colleges -- the UA College of Medicine-Tucson, the UA College of Medicine-Phoenix, the UA College of Pharmacy, the UA College of Nursing and the UA Mel and Enid Zuckerman College of Public Health. Dean departures Public criticism of the UA
medical school leadership began after well-regarded UA College of Medicine-Phoenix dean Stuart D. Flynn announced he was leaving in March to be the founding dean of a new medical school in Texas. Shortly after, five members of Flynn’s leadership team, including the associate dean of admissions and the vice dean of academic affairs, announced their departures. In June, the 4,000-member Arizona Medical Association, which has a membership of physicians and medical students, called for an independent investigation into why virtually the entire leadership team left the Phoenix medical school. The association also expressed concern that the departure of so many top leaders could affect the school’s attempt to see full accreditation, a process that is ongoing. The association asked for exit interviews with the departed deans and publicly called on the Board of Regents to initiate an investigation into “any U of A organizational impediments or policies that contributed to the departures of the well-respected and quality team that was in place.” As further fuel to the scrutiny, Garcia, who earns a salary of $870,000, attracted public attention in August when he was the subject of an Arizona Republic article. The article focused on his travel expenses, including a chauffeured car that costs $475 or more for trips between Tucson and Phoenix. During the special regents meeting in August, regents President Eileen Klein referred to troubling “questions
and claims” about the medical school leadership, regarding ethics, use of public money, workplace culture and treatment of employees. “The board and university leaders will need to go beyond these public hearings and take additional actions to better understand and address these concerns and determine whether any improprieties have occurred,” she said at the time. On Aug. 19, the regents held an executive session and afterward announced they would hire an outside expert to review the concerns. “It’s going to be a broad look at what’s going on,” regents chairman Greg Patterson said at the time. “We’re doing a comprehensive evaluation, so it’s going to be full 360s of management style, structure, etc.” Secret report On Oct. 26, the regents spent more than two hours behind closed doors to discuss the report. They then announced that the report was complete and that no further inquiry into the medical schools’ leadership was needed. Citing “attorney-client privilege,” Patterson said the report would not be released to the public. The regents have now released the cost of the report and provided the Star with documents outlining the contract terms. Flynn, the departed dean, says he was not interviewed for the report. He said he was approached by an attorney but before answering any questions he asked for indemnity, which means he wanted to be protected against being sued over anything he might say.
ALEX MCINTYRE/THE DAILY WILDCAT
THE UA COLLEGE OF Medicine glows under a cloudy night sky on Sunday, Nov. 15, 2015. The Arizona Board of Regents are keeping a $180,000 indipendent review of the UA’s two medical schools secret.
assurances of the UA’s commitment, particularly given Arizona’s current and projected doctor shortage. Releasing the regents’ report, even a redacted version, is a matter of public interest, said Cary Pfeffer, a Phoenix resident, author and owner of a consulting firm who sat on a community advisory board to the Phoenix medical school for several years. “If you are going to spend almost $200,000 on a report, there must be some public good, one would assume. ... It’s critical for the state to have medical education,” Pfeffer said. “There are ways to protect confidential information, such as redacting names.” Star reporter Carol Ann Alaimo contributed to this report.
“I was contacted by the attorney conducting the interview, as were several of my colleagues. I told him we would be happy to answer any questions they had, but we also asked if the Regents would indemnify us so that we would not put ourselves at risk,” Flynn wrote in an emailed statement. “We never heard back on this request, or again from the attorney, so I can only assume that they did not want to offer us that protection.” Public good Many say the loss of Flynn was huge for the fledgling Phoenix medical school, part of a growing biomedical campus in the city’s downtown. Supporters of the medical school want both answers and

Arizona NOW raises $1.5 billion in six years BY ALEX GONZALES @AlxandrGonzalez
UA’s fundraising campaign, Arizona NOW, set a goal to raise $1.5 billion dollars in 2010, and they recently attained it—two years ahead of schedule. University of Arizona Foundation President and CEO John-Paul Roczniak said most donations received by Arizona NOW, had specific purposes in mind or specific departments in which the donor wanted their money to be utilized. “The schools that have raised more money have been doing it longer, cultivating their donors for gifts,” Roczniak said. “It’s not about the college; it’s the case for support.” Pamela Perry, associate dean of the undergraduate program for Eller College, knew most donations were designated to go to specific projects or causes and is grateful for the contributions made by donors to Eller that have taken form in new team rooms, study areas and the implementation of new technology. If there was extra money that wasn’t designated, she said she’d vote for building renewal around campus with better classrooms and study areas. The Integrative Nursing Faculty Fellowship program within the College of Nursing received assistance by foundational grants and gifts in 2015 and 2016, facilitated through the UA Foundation. The Lovell Foundation has also had a long standing relationship with UA programs focused around integrative medicine and health. “This program prepares faculty and educators to transform nursing education and practice using the science, theory and practice of integrative health, blending conventional and complementary health care,” said Mary Koithan, associate dean at the College of Nursing. Like many university personnel, Koithan understands the importance and significance of

by the election. “The first step is asking yourself, ‘Who’s one person in my life that, due to the election, I closed out? Who was that person in my life before the election?’ ” Lukensmeyer said. The next step is to sit down and have a conversation with that person. Lukensmeyer suggested starting with why the person is important. “The next part is a bit more challenging,” Lukensmeyer said. “We suggest each of you just listen to each other. Ask ‘Can you explain this to me?’ Your job is just to listen. Ask only clarifying questions.” If emotions start to run high, take a break. Lukensmeyer said the goal is to leave the conversation with an understanding of why each person voted how they did.

campaigns like Arizona NOW because it allows a university to advance and continue growing. “Personally, it brings me incredible satisfaction to be part of something that has so much meaning to so many people,” Koithan said. Kate Worland, assistant director for development for the Eller College, said she first learned about Arizona NOW in 2014 when she began working for the college. “Our alumni have responded to the campaign so well and have wanted to get re-engaged with the Eller College because they wanted to be part of Arizona NOW,” Worland said. Many physical and tangible improvements have come from this campaign, but one of the
“Each person will learn something about the other person’s understanding of the time, of the candidate and of the future they want,” Lukensmeyer said. “If you can do that with one person after this rough-andtumble election, it’s a huge step.” Segrin emphasized the importance of explaining your reasoning and, above all else, remaining respectful. “If you disagree but explain why, people won’t feel disrespected,” Segrin said. “If you can keep the focus on the topic, you can have a meaningful conversation. Find areas of common interest.” The NICD will launch a program to help start these conversations called “Text Talk Revive Civility.” Participants can text the word ‘civility’ to 89800 and the phone will facilitate conversations, providing prompts and tips. “There needs to be serious internal reflection and cleaning house,” Lukensmeyer said. “The
more abstract priorities of this effort, mentioned by UA President Ann Weaver Hart, was that of improving academic instruction. “Salary is just the basic thing you can do to improve instructional quality,” said Devon Kehler, a graduate associate teacher and student in the Rhetoric, Composition and the Teaching of English program. “Someone’s sense of worth, the amount their teaching labor is valued, will have an inherent influence in the way those instructors interact with students.” Kehler believes creating instructional improvements would lead to more motivated educators and establish a crucial sense of worth, which in turn would lead educators to have more of an impact in the lives of their students.
rhetoric of this campaign wasn’t good for the parties; it wasn’t good for Americans’ respect for politics, which was already low.” Lukensmeyer said not only do individuals need to have these conversations, but political parties need to as well. “It’s our constitutional responsibility to rebuild the trust between the government and the people,” she said. “It can’t wait until the next election.” Both Lukensmeyer and Segrin said younger generations are instrumental in the future of political rhetoric. “Young people in this country have a unique role to play in resetting our moral compass,” Lukensmeyer said. “Your voices are important.” Segrin pointed specifically to the way young people have been mobilizing to protest and said those voices are providing a check and balance system to the incivility.
“I think it’s always a good thing when you can bring together a community of over 100,000 donors that have pledged their support, their time and their money in ensuring that this university continues at a world-class level in instruction and research,” Kehler said. “I don’t think that signal of large-scale, critical-mass support for this school can be understated, because it’s enormous.” Kehler said she believes the purpose behind this campaign is a beneficial one, but mentioned that, as a member of a public institution, she is always confronted with the question of why so much money needs to be raised by private investments when this practice has historically been utilized by private institutions. “I think we have a symptom still that our state money isn’t coming at the level that it needs to, and this is a national trend,” Kehler said. “It’s a stark reminder that for public universities nationwide, there’s a real struggle to continue and fill in gaps where, previously, state tax revenues had been allocated.” The Marshall Foundation has been a longtime supporter and donor of the UA since the early 1930s when Louise Foucar Marshall, alongside her husband, created the foundation to help less-fortunate individuals obtain a higher education—something many people deem crucial to a successful future. Jane McCollum, general manager for the Marshall Foundation, said the foundation sees the value in providing scholarships for in-state Arizona students because it opens up doors in ways that once seemed impossible. She said the scholarships facilitated by the Marshall Foundation do not cover all expenses but enable many more opportunities to become a reality for student. McCollum said she believes a campaign like Arizona NOW is beneficial for the university’s mission. “It helps you get new people to understand your mission,” McCollum said.
REBECCA NOBLE/THE DAILY WILDCAT
AFTER THE POLITICAL POLARIZATION represented during the presidential election, many Americans may face difficulties maintaining civil discussion.
“Younger generations tend to be more active and mobile,” Segrin said. “Young people are going out there in
groups and are more likely to be taken seriously that way. They have the power of numbers.”

Stolen snacks University of Arizona Police Department officers responded to a shoplifting call at the Circle K on Sixth Street and Cherry Avenue on Nov. 9. The store’s assistant manager said a man had left the store and went over to the UA football stadium after taking ice cream and candy. Officers left and saw the man fitting the assistant manager’s description crossing Sixth Street by the Parking and Transportation building. The officer stopped the man by Fairwheel Bikes. The man told the officer he had shoplifted because he was hungry; he showed the officer a 6-ounce bag of Reese’s Pieces. The man said he was homeless, was recently released from prison and didn’t have money. Circle K wanted to press charges, and the man had a warrant for a Pima County Sheriff Department misdemeanor assault-domestic violence. The man was identified as the subject from the Circle K assistant manager. He was arrested and taken to Pima County Jail. The total loss to Circle K was $5.57. Student visit gone wrong UAPD officers saw four women walking along Cherry Avenue and saw that one of the women was drinking from a can on Nov. 11. Another woman in the group looked to be swaying as she walked. When the officer headed toward the women, one woman put a can of beer on the ground. The officer saw that each woman had glassy eyes, and the women said they were all under the age of 21 when asked. Two women were identified as UA students, another was identified as an Arizona State University student and the final woman said she was a UA student. The woman who had been swaying sat on the ground and started vomiting. The officer called Tucson Fire Department and could not find the fourth woman in their records, but she showed her Facebook profile, which had her name and picture, to the officer. The women said they went to a party at a fraternity house and two of the women drank alcohol before arriving at the fraternity. Two of the woman were diverted for a minor in possession, and TFD took the woman who had thrown up to Banner University Medical Center. The ASU student was cited and released for minor in possession. The officer later couldn’t find a driver’s license for the woman who had shown her Facebook profile, but when checking her Facebook profile, the officer learned that she was a high school senior from Texas. The officer talked to the woman on the phone, and she confirmed it and said she was sorry. She had been in town with her family checking out the UA campus. The officer spoke with the woman’s stepfather and said UAPD wouldn’t pursue criminal charges. The woman taken to BUMC was diverted.

The recent election has Democrats wondering how to move forward under a Donald Trump presidency. The answer? With resolve
BY RAAD ZAGHLOUL @RaadZaghloul
I
t’s been two weeks since the election, but the residual waves of rage and sorrow still crash and break on the rocky shores of the American psyche. If the preelection coverage was insufferable, then the postmortems and fingerpointing are downright torturous. The Democratic Party has taken an incredible amount of flak, both in the opinions columns of major newspapers and in the angry cries of young adults across this campus and others. As intoxicating as it is to have the moral high ground over our reason-averse president-elect, as cathartic as it may be to shout “not my president” in a crowd of hundreds, the road ahead is long and hard and will not be brightened by token activism and righteous anger alone. To be fair, not everything that has happened in the last two weeks can accurately be described as token activism. Record donations have poured into the coffers of a number of worthy organizations like the ACLU and Planned Parenthood, the latter reporting tens of thousands of gifts given in Vice President-elect Mike Pence’s name. This is obviously nothing to sneeze at, but these kinds of things are only a few steps up from indignant multi-paragraph Facebook posts. Public interest will wane. It’s logistically impossible to
be an activist for four full years. Let us not forget that one of the most noxious people to ever gain national prominence won the presidency because, even faced with that man’s vile worldview on full display, many people could not or would not bring themselves to vote. Today’s twin pillars of rage and sorrow have taken the place of the hope and change that President Barack Obama, then Sen. Bernie Sanders, instilled in their faithful. Our presidentelect weaseled his way into the White House because he pandered to the millions for whom hope and change have long since seemed like distant ideals. His supporters fought like hell to do what they thought amounted to taking their country back. So, that is what we must do now.
Hope, compassion and devotion are ideas both mighty and worthy, but they mean nothing by themselves. Today, hope and change need a riot squad, and however diminished and compromised it

currently is, the Democratic Party still stands. It has always been the party of the people, to various degrees, since the New Deal realignment. To paraphrase Public Enemy: Ronald Reagan was a hero to most, but he never meant shit to me. Although he will not caucus with them, Sen. Sanders has drawn many Democrats to his cause, in part or in full— including Arizona’s own Rep. Raul Grijalva. Chuck Schumer, a Democratic senator in New York soon to be one of the most powerful Democrats in the country, is, to put it gently, not the most beloved figure on the progressive left. But he has promised to fight the president-elect “toothand-nail” to prevent any attempts to repeal the Dodd-Frank Act, which was geared to regulate Wall Street during the Obama Administration. So hold him and other Democrats accountable. While many Republicans poised to join the Trump
Administration fall somewhere between lunacy and insanity, the Democrats are a different story. They include Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who served the nation as well as her home state constituents by raining hell on the rampant chicanery of Wells Fargo. They include Arizona’s own Rep. Ruben Gallego, who represents the 7th District; who insisted that House Democrats put “every effort” into stopping the president-elect. They are an imperfect and motley bunch, sometimes compromised and never infallible. But for those who hope to see the New Deal, the Great Society and Obamacare survive the next four years, they are your skirmish line. This country’s two-party system has survived veritable eons of scrutiny, and it will survive your indignation today. Supporting a party in 2016 fundamentally means the same as it ever has: aligning yourself with one of two great and powerful national organizations. In 1960, for example, the gulf was not that wide and the choice not so impactful. In 2016, the gulf is vast and the choice immeasurably meaningful. One of these choices is an endorsement of the lone outpost defending progress past, present and future. The other choice is less a party than a cyst, oozing pus as it threatens to burst from the outward pressure exerted by the cabal of racist-, fascist- and demagogue-enabling do-nothing blowhards that call it home.

Prescription drug prices sky-high in the U.S. A growing trend of rising American pharmacuetical prices and recent scandals are laying the industry bare
BY ANDREW ALAMBAN @DailyWildcat
P
harmaceutical companies have charged obscenely high rates for their products in the U.S. The American people deserve affordable medicine to treat their illnesses. In the current state of health care, patients should always come before special interests. Humans have a desire to survive, and in some cases, that requires the assistance of pharmaceutical drugs to do so. With medicine prices being so high, some people are basically being denied the right to live. The U.S. pays around seven times as much as the UK for drugs, according to the Washington Post. Hepatitis C treatment in the U.S. is priced at $84,000, but in Egypt, you could pay that much

roof. According to the 2010 census, 13 percent of the population is 65 years or older. It’s a daunting task to treat these people when prices for medication are so unreasonable. With Donald Trump declared the winner of the 2016 U.S. presidential election, what could this mean for pharmaceutical companies and their impact on the American people? President-elect Trump stated multiple times during his campaign that he wants to allow the U.S. government to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies. He also wants to allow drugs that are manufactured abroad to be sold in the U.S. as another means to wrestle control from the pharmaceutical companies here. By creating a competitive market, prices will surely lower as consumers will choose the product with the best bang for their buck. However, it’s important to keep in mind that money should never be a barrier in caring for a patient.

Fresh is always in season at Tucson farmers markets BY BRIANNA DARLING @DailyWildcat
Student life can be extremely demanding, and picking up a pizza at your favorite local spot can be an easy, quick fix to weeknight hunger. Unfortunately, though, eating take-out every night seriously hurts your health and, not to mention, your wallet. More often than not, produce at the grocery store has traveled across seas and sat in storage for more time than we’d like to imagine. Luckily, there’s an awesome option for those interested in eating healthier and more sustainably. Food in Root is a local company that began with intentions of supporting the Tucson community in buying locally and eating sustainably. The organization tries to make it easier to know as much about the produce you’re buying as possible. Food in Root supports multiple farmer’s markets around Tucson, from the market at St. Philips Plaza to the one on the UA Mall every Wednesday. There are a variety of vendors who participate in Food in Root farmer’s market who sell everything from artwork to kettle corn to fresh tamales. One vendor, Ed Dubis, sells produce from farms all over, including Maggie’s Farm Lane Aquaponics and UA’s own farm. His company, Earth Made, sells his produce at the St. Philip’s Farmers Market every Saturday and Sunday. “It’s always good to know where your food comes from [because] more money stays local,” Dubis said. “We love our tomatoes. They come from the university, they’re some wonderful types.” One of the advantages of buying produce at a farmers market is the cost tends to be lower than that available at many grocery stores. Cindy Williams, another vendor at the St. Philips Plaza Farmer’s Market, has sold fresh, affordable produce through her company Cindy Gardens for about

a year. The company represents many farms from all over Southern Arizona. Williams’ prices are also cheaper than you might see in a grocery store—a bunch of her asparagus costs $3, her celery is $2 and her apples are $2 per pound. Williams said she believes there are many advantages to eating locally. “The biggest benefit is that where my table is, where my booth is, it’s close to the growing point,” Williams said. “The benefit of eating locally is that the nutrient content is so much higher. It hasn’t sat in a warehouse for two weeks; it’s coming directly from the farm.” Another benefit of local produce, according to Williams, is that everything for sale is currently in season here. Nothing has been shipped from some other ecosystem across the globe. In autumn and early winter, everything that could be served at Thanksgiving dinner is in season. This includes sweet potatoes, squash, celery, onions, cauliflowers, broccoli, potatoes and all kinds of greens. With so many positive results like higher nutrient content and seasonable eating from buying and eating locally and sustainably, Williams said it’s surprising that more students don’t take advantage of the plethora of Tucson farmers markets. “It’s hard to get students to come and buy produce from these markets,” Williams said. “Students will go to [a market] and get ready-made food, like pretzels or something. They’re not likely to go and get a bag of kale.” Food in Root hosts a weekly farmers market on the Mall every Wednesday morning. Most students don’t do their grocery shopping there, so most vendors have stopped selling produce. So maybe consider supporting the local economy by visiting one of the many farmer’s markets in Tucson— Thanksgiving will be that much more delicious with fresh, local cranberries and sweet potatoes as side dishes this year.

UA researchers explore polar wander on Pluto Pluto’s heart has fascinated observers since discovery, and researchers at the UA are exploring the feature and what it might mean for ongoing geological activity on the dwarf planet BY CHANDLER DONALD @DailyWildcat
A research team from UA’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory have drawn several conclusions about Pluto’s “heart” in the Nov. 17 issue of Nature. The team is comprised of planetary sciences graduate student James Keane and assistant professor at the LPL, Isamu Matsuyama. Keane and Matsuyama are part of a generation of Pluto researchers that were able to witness first-hand the success of New Horizons, a space probe launched in January 2006 toward the far reaches of the solar system. “Before New Horizons really got to Pluto, I considered myself a Pluto skeptic,” Keane said. “Others were looking at Pluto through telescopes, and while they couldn’t resolve the surface, there was evidence that Pluto was changing with time. But no one really knew what it would look like when we got there.” When the probe did get there, the distant and seemingly stagnant dwarf planet looked and behaved much differently than what was expected, according to the findings. Radioactive decay in the dwarf planet’s mantle has kept Pluto geologically active while some of its companions, like Mars, have lost all of their heat. Recently, Keane has been mapping cracks in Pluto’s surface. Based on their location, the research team was able to infer that Pluto had been gaining mass in a particular area. This supports observations made of a realignment in Pluto’s spin axis, known in astronomy as true polar wander. This research confirms what once was thought of as a primarily dormant planet is actually a continually changing world, doing so in dramatic fashion—and it may offer an
explanation for that elusive heart shape as well. New Horizons passed by Pluto in the summer of 2015. As images were released, one landmark caused mass intrigue even outside of the scientific community—the massive heart shape on Pluto’s surface. While some argue that it bears a closer resemblance to Charles Shulz’s “Snoopy,” the question remains: how did it get there? Known to astronomers as Sputnik Planitia, Pluto’s heart has been the subject of recent debate. “The New Horizons mission was able to get some topographical data, and Sputnik Planitia turned out to be a basin that is roughly circular,” Keane said. “And the easiest way to make a big hole in the ground on planetary scales is to be impacted by a large asteroid or comet.” It is important to remember these processes occur over millionyear timescales. So why are we seeing this reorientation now? “We think that we found evidence that it’s changing its spin with time and there are a couple ideas on why that’s happening,” Keane said. “The one we focus on in our research is this idea that Pluto’s ices are getting trapped in this one particular special spot on Pluto, Sputnik Planitia.” One year on Pluto is roughly 248 years on Earth, giving it long and drastic seasons. “Pluto’s spin axis is tipped 108 degrees,” Keane said. “The earth is tipped 23 degrees with respect to its orbit. This is what gives us our seasons. Pluto is tilted past 90 degrees so it’s basically on its side. That can give very dramatic seasons,” Keane and his fellow researchers offer prime examples of how New Horizons will have implications and adaptations for a long time to come. “New Horizons was actually the first time we were able to measure the surface pressure in

detail,” Keane said. “We are still not actually sure what Pluto is going to do. ... Although, there are predictions and ways that we can monitor, even as New Horizons is long gone.” Although there are many mysteries still to solve in regards to Pluto, Keane doesn’t think we will send another probe to revisit Pluto in the future. New Horizons was a brief
flyby, and even that was a nearly impossible feat. It was launched by an Atlas V rocket, the fastest and most state-of-the-art rocket available. Even then, New Horizons, which is roughly the size of a baby grand piano, took 10 years to get a look at Pluto, and then only had sight of the surface for a few minutes. As of now, entering Pluto’s
orbit is simply not an option. “If you want to get there in a timely fashion, you need to be going fast and if you’re going fast you need to bring enough fuel to slow down, you would basically need the equivalent of another giant rocket,” Keane said. “There are a lot of higher priorities—other worlds we need to visit before we go back to Pluto.”

THANKSGIVING OFFERS A SMORGASBOARD of food, but overeating can have lasting effects beyond the holidays.

Thanksgiving could be aptly described as a glorified binge fest. Year after year, we eat ourselves into exhaustion and indigestion on this holiday that seems to turn a meal into so much more than just sustenance. “We need to eat to survive, but food is a whole lot more than that. Food brings people together,” said Veronica Mullins, assistant professor of practice in nutritional sciences at the UA. “Sharing a meal with family and friends is a special moment that should be cherished. Family traditions and cultural practices are an important part of society.” Thanksgiving is certainly a fun and important holiday and it shouldn’t have to end in the bloated discomfort we often find ourselves suffering from. Overeating can have lasting effects even beyond the holiday season. It often triggers a hormonal response that can disrupt signals from the brain that tell you when you’re full. Some studies show that it could take more than 30 minutes for your brain to tell you that your stomach is full. “Portion control is key here,” Mullins said. “Start with a small salad to help fill you up and eat a lighter dinner with smaller portions. Remember there are always leftovers.” In fact, there are many ways to lighten up your meal without corrupting the essence of the Thanksgiving tradition. “Choose white meat turkey instead of dark to decrease your fat intake. Pick one or even two starchy dishes: stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes or cornbread instead of eating them all. Better yet, have half of a baked sweet potato,” Mullins said. “Try roasted or steamed veggies instead of a veggie casserole dish with lots of added fats. Make cranberry sauce
from whole cranberries rather than a can to decrease calories and sugar content.” Falling asleep after turkey dinner is a common phenomenon, but does turkey itself actually have sleep-inducing properties? “Turkey is a good food source of the amino acid tryptophan, which is to blame for the sleepy myth. Tryptophan is needed by the body make serotonin, the relaxation hormone, and melatonin, a hormone that controls sleep,” Mullins said. “Although turkey contains tryptophan, it actually has less than chicken. If you feel sleepy after your Thanksgiving meal, it is most likely due to the large quantity of food and alcohol consumed.” For a Thanksgiving meal consisting of three ounces of turkey, one cup of stuffing, one cup of green bean casserole, six ounces of mashed potatoes and gravy, one cup of cranberry sauce, four ounces of cornbread, five ounces of sweet potatoes and marshmallows, one glass of wine, a slice each of pecan pie and pumpkin pie, one can expect to consume an exorbitant 3,157 calories, 124 grams of fat and 388 grams of carbs. Of an entire Thanksgiving smorgasbord, one slice of pecan pie is the worst culprit, comprising 503 calories, 27 grams of fat and 64 grams of carbs by itself. Other than substitution and portion control, exercise can be a great way to combat the bloated lethargy of Thanksgiving. “You have to run a mile to burn about 100 calories; that’s a lot of running.,” Mullins said. “Your best bet is to go for a walk with your family and friends, enjoy the company and eat a little less for the next few days.”

ARIZONA GUARD PARKER JACKSON-Cartwright (right) sizes up the Northern Colorado defense in McKale Center on Monday, Nov. 21. The Wildcats beat the Bears 71-55, to begin their season 4-0.
UA hoops notebook: 'Cats face Brownridge again BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
Arizona defeated Northern Colorado in McKale Center on Monday night to improve to 4-0. Freshman forward Lauri Markkanen is becoming a household name, if he isn’t for Tucsonans by now, and continues to impress. Other freshmen were missing in action, as the upperclassmen continue to be the foundation of this team. Here are some general takeaways from Monday night and a look ahead to the Thanksgiving day matchup with Santa Clara in the Las Vegas Invitational: Quiet Markkanen still does more than most Lauri Markkanen didn’t have any amazing plays, nor did he take over the game at any point. However, what he does continue to do is score at will despite figuring out what amount of aggression he should put toward his offensive game. The answer is simple: The more he shoots, the better Arizona will be. He leads the Wildcats in just about every offensive category and leads the team in rebounding as well. He is a one-and-done player if we’ve ever seen one—enjoy it while it lasts. Freshmen curve The learning curve for freshmen has a tendency to be pretty steep. At points against Northern Colorado, you could hardly notice that Kobi Simmons or Rawle Alkins were even on the floor. Simmons has the athleticism to play in the NBA right now. His consistency, however,
leaves plenty to be desired. Simmons scored 18 against Michigan State, but hit just one shot against Northern Colorado. Alkins, though a bit more consistent, has yet to find his groove on offense. He has hit shots, penetrated and scored at will, and led a fast-break to a thunderous jam over the Bears on Monday. He just hasn’t done it all in one game. Simmons and Alkins do a lot on the defensive side, which enables head coach Sean Miller to play them for longer periods of time. But the march to the Final Four may rest on the consistency of that freshman duo. Here comes that man again Forty-four points. That is about all you need to say about Jared Brownridge to make the Arizona Wildcats recall their near loss last Thanksgiving to Santa Clara. Well, one year later, the Broncos get another shot at the Wildcats in the Las Vegas Invitational. “That was a game that we should’ve lost and they know that,” Miller said. “Anytime you have a player that hits for that much, you better be ready. Last year, when it was time to be that guy and stop the best, we had all 12 guys run the other way. This year, I don’t see that.” Brownridge is averaging 16.8 points per game thus far, but is coming off a 32-point performance versus Sacred Heart. He is fully capable of leading the Broncos to a win, but the Wildcats should be better prepared this time around. Arizona and Santa Clara tip in Las Vegas at 8:30 p.m. Thursday. The game will be aired on Fox Sports 1.
Kudos for wanting to talk with your parents about this. Navigating family conversations can range from easy exchanges to atomic-sized meltdowns. The good news is that you have a very big say in how the dialogue goes.
KEY POINTS: Plan ahead. Anticipate your parents’ reactions. Stay calm and think about possible thoughtful responses. Timing. Find a quiet and opportune time to talk. Be genuine. Keep the tone of your voice respectful. Avoid “attitude.” Acknowledge possible awkward feelings approaching the conversation but stay positive. Start off with, “I want to talk about my alcohol use now that I am in college and also hear your concerns about it.” Be empathetic. Respect their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Your parent’s number one concern is your safety. Now that you are in college they feel less able to keep you safe. They also may fear you won’t succeed. Hear them out. You might
ask them, “How did you navigate drinking when you were in college or when you were my age?” Stick to the topic. Know what you want to say. If you want to let them know that you can drink responsibly, give concrete examples of how you do that. Be sure to share how you will keep yourself as safe as possible if you do over-consume, (e.g. designated driver, sober buddy, etc.) Keep it constructive. Avoid or recognize when you or your parents are getting defensive. Don’t storm out of the room or lash out verbally! Be prepared to stop and revisit the topic later. Given time, perceptions may change and feelings usually calm down. Even if you end up disagreeing, you’ll understand each other better. However, if your conversation follows its intended outcome you will have created a mutually beneficial environment of open communication. This will make it more comfortable to return home and could open your family up to other adult conversations. And that is absolutely rewarding!
