A team of researchers at the UA’s Lunar and Planetary Laboratory have successfully observed and characterized the smallest asteroid known to science. The asteroid spans a mere six-feet in diameter and despite its miniscule size is one of the brightest asteroids that has ever been observed. “Usually the small asteroids are harder to find unless they come really close to
the earth, and in this case not only did we find it, we were able to characterize it,” said Vishnu Reddy, lead researcher on the project and a UA assistant professor in the LPL. The asteroid, dubbed 2015 TC25, was discovered back in October of 2015. The researchers were only able to study it once it made a close fly-by of the earth, and then began to analyze it after that, Reddy said. In order to study the asteroid, Reddy
An excessive force lawsuit against a University of Arizona Police Department officer who shot a woman four times after she refused to comply with officers and approached another woman with a knife was reinstated Nov. 28 by a federal appeals court. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stated a rational jury “could find that she had a constitutional right to walk down her driveway holding a knife without being shot.” The appeals court said whether or not the actions of UAPD Cpl. Andrew Kisela were reasonable should be disputed to a jury due to the severity of the occurrences, the police warning and possibility for less intrusive means. It stated that this should not have been decided by the lower district court. The appeals court also said Kisela was not entitled to qualified immunity in this case.

Profesores de la Universidad de Arizona reaccionan a la muerte de Fidel Castro BY ALEX GONZALEZ @AlxandrGonzalez
El dictador cubano, Fidel Castro, murió el viernes el 25 de noviembre a los 90 años. La muerte del dictador comunista, el cual estuvo en poder aproximadamente 50 años, ha provocado una sensación de alivio en muchos Cubanos, domésticamente e internacionalmente, mientras otros están de luto sobre la pérdida de su líder Cubano. El impacto de la noticia hasta ha afectado miembros de nuestra comunidad, aquí en UA. Beatriz Urrea, profesora dentro del Departamento de Español y Portugués, nació en Puerto Rico y se considera puertorriqueña, aunque fue creada alrededor de la cultura cubana por tener padres originalmente de Cuba. Cuando Urrea se enteró del fallecimiento de Castro hace una semana, dijo que inmediatamente pensó en su madre. “Lo primero que pensé fue en el impacto que iba tener la noticia en mi madre,” dijo Urrea. “Y también pensé en mi padre que ya murió, en que no pudo vivir ese momento que seguramente habría sido–tal vez sino un momento de felicidad, pero de alivio.” Urrea explicó que para muchos cubanos que han dejado su país atrás, han tomado esa decisión por el hecho de que Castro ha utilizado Cuba para implementar su legado que hasta este día está presente. “La recepción de esa noticia
para [los cubanos] que están aquí, está conectada con el perder la patria, con el perder las conexiones familiares en muchos casos, con el perder un estilo de vida y tener que lanzarse a lo nuevo, y encontrar otra comunidad, otro mundo,” dijo Urrea. “Como Fidel Castro realmente, si se puede decir que haya un responsable, fue él y pues su muerte la gente la celebra–se murió el responsable de tanto cambio, y en muchos casos también tanto sufrimiento.” Urrea piensa que actualmente es un poco difícil determinar el estado de emoción en Cuba y de la gente, por el gobierno tan represivo que nublense la realidad de Cuba en casi todos los aspectos. Ella dijo que debe de haber esas personas en Cuba que realmente están tristes porque de una forma beneficiaron de alguna manera por el cambio de system que Castro implementó en la isla caribeña, mientras otros estarán felices y celebrando la muerte del hombre que los sujeto a las condiciones que han tenido que enfrentar por muchos años. Instructor de política y cultura latinoamericana en UA, Edgard Oregiron, empezó por citar el difunto chino comunista Deng Xiaopeng, que en algún momento fue preguntado sobre su opinión de la Revolución Francesa y digo, “Eso pasó hace 200 años, recién–hay que dejarlo que pase más tiempo para poder analizarlo bien.” Oregiron se sujeta a lo que digo Xiaoping, pero en el sentido de

aplicarlo a los efectos explícitos y cambios que Cuba y el resto del mundo verán en el futuro como productos del régimen de Castro. “La sangre recién se ha derramado, metafóricamente– habido gente que ha sufrido, innegablemente, y a la vez habido otra gente en Latinoamérica que ha visto a Fidel Castro como un cambio completo de todo este sistema violento en Latinoamérica,” dijo Oregiron.”A pesar de que Fidel Castro instituyó su sistema de forma violenta.” Oregiron reconoce que hay dos facciones dentro la comunidad Cubana que están peleando por la representación simbólica que Fidel tomará. También explicó que en Latinoamérica, la visión de Castro todavía existe, y que muchos lo ven como un individuo de su época que fue capaz de movilizar un movimiento grandísimo y revolucionario a la misma vez. “A la vez, nosotros acá en Estados Unidos, tenemos otra visión de Fidel, que hemos visto a Fidel desde otro ángulo, desde otro lente,” dijo Oregiron. Aunque Fidel ya este muerto, Oregiron cree que el es el tipo de persona y líder que ha, y continuará provocando sentimientos extremos en la gente no solamente de América, pero dentro Latinoamérica también. “Hay muy poca gente que está al centro,” Oregiron digo. “O adoras a Fidel Castro, o odias a Fidel Castro.” Graduado asociado en el Departamento de Español y

Portugués, Manuel de Jesus Rodriguez Ramos, nació en Cuba y vivía en exilio en la ciudad española de Madrid hace 4 años, que es cuando pudo venir para los Estados Unidos como ciudadano español para cursar su maestría en New Mexico State University. “La noticia de la muerte de Fidel Castro la sentí como una especie de alivio, que enseguida me condujo a una revisión de mi pasado personal; un recordatorio nostálgico por todo lo perdido,” dijo Ramos. Ramos piensa que no habrá cambios inmediatos en Cuba por el hecho de que Castro no ha estado en poder por los últimos 10 años, pero Ramos especula que con la recién elección estadounidense, Raúl Castro va reconsiderar las pólizas
de Cuba para prevenir influencias y presencias extranjeras. Cuando Ramos fue preguntado si la muerte de Fidel es simbólica, dijo, “Creo que sí, y Raúl Castro quiere reforzar ese matiz simbólico con la peregrinación de las cenizas de Fidel por toda la isla.” Hipotéticamente, si Ramos hubiera podido hablar con Fidel le hubiese preguntado por qué traicionó los ideales que propuso en su texto, “La Historia Me Absolverá,” en donde propone la creación de un país idealista sin represión. “Yo creo que le preguntaría si alguna vez fue consciente de cuánto sufrimiento género en tanta gente de su país,” Urrea dijo.

UA professors react to Fidel Castro’s death BY ALEX GONZALEZ @AlxandrGonzalez
Longtime Cuban dictator, Fidel Castro, died Friday Nov. 25 at the age of 90. The death of the communist dictator, who was in power for nearly 50 years, provoked a sense of relief in many Cubans, domestically and internationally, while others reacted quite to the contrary by mourning the loss of their Cuban leader. The impacts of this event have even resonated within a couple of individuals here at the UA. Beatriz Urrea, UA associate professor in the Spanish and Portuguese Department, said she was born in Puerto Rico and considers herself Puerto Rican, but one who was raised with a Cuban culture at home due to being brought up by Cuban parents. When Urrea found out about Castro’s death over a week ago, she said she immediately thought of her mother. “The first thing I thought of was the impact the news would have on my mother,” Urrea said. “I also thought of my father, who is no longer with us, and how he wasn’t able to live through this moment that probably would have been, if not a moment of happiness, a moment of relief for him.” Urrea explained that many Cubans who leave their country are doing so because of the legacy Castro has instilled and left in Cuba. “The reception of the news, for those [Cubans] that are here in the states, is connected with the loss of their homeland, with losing family ties in many cases, with losing a lifestyle and having to adapt a new way of living, and having to find a new community—a new world,” Urrea said. “So when the man responsible for so many changes, and in many cases suffering dies, it
is celebrated.” Urrea believes it is truly hard to gauge the emotional status of Cuba and its people at this time because it’s governed by such a repressive political system that doesn’t allow complete transparency in most regards. She said there must be those in Cuba who are sad because they benefited in someway by the change of system Castro implemented on the Caribbean island, while others are happy and celebrating the death of the leader who subjected them to the conditions they have had to endure for many years. UA Latin American politics and culture instructor, Edgard Oregiron, started off by quoting former Chinese communist leader Deng Xiaoping, who was once asked about his opinion regarding the French Revolution, “Well that happened over 200 years ago, pretty recent—more time has to pass to be able to analyze it well.” Oregiron is utilizing the same approach and mentality Xioaping took, but applying it to the explicit effects and changes Cuba and the world will see in the future as a result of Castro’s regime. “There have been people who have suffered, undeniably, and at the same time there have been other people, specifically in Latin America, that have seen Fidel Castro as a complete change from the violent systems present in Latin America,” Oregiron said. “Even though, Fidel Castro institutionalized his system in a violent manner.” Oregiron recognizes there are currently two factions within the Cuban community that are fighting for the symbolic representation of what Castro will stand for. He explained that within Latin America, there is

this vision of Castro that is still very much alive, depicting him as an individual of his time which was able to mobilize a grand, revolutionary political movement. “At the same time, over here in the U.S., we have a different vision of Fidel, since we have viewed him from a different perspective and or lens,” Oregiron said. Even though Castro is now dead, Oregiron believes he is the type of person and leader who has, and will continue to incite extreme sentiments in the people not only of America, but throughout Latin America. “There are very few people who are neutral,” Oregiron said. “You either adore Fidel Castro, or absolutely hate him.” UA graduate associate in
the Spanish and Portuguese Department, Manuel de Jesus Rodriguez Ramos, was born in Cuba and actually lived in exile in Madrid, Spain up until 4 years ago when he was able to come to the U.S. as a Spanish citizen to complete his master’s degree at New Mexico State University. “The news of the death of Fidel Castro made me feel a sense of relief, that immediately reminded me of my personal past; a constant and nostalgic reminder of all the was lost,” Ramos said. Ramos believes that immediate changes in Cuba will not be seen since Castro has already been out of power for 10 years. However, Ramos believes that with the recent American political election and outcome, this will cause Raúl
Castro to reconsider and possibly close off the country more to foreign presence and influence. When asked if Castro’s death was symbolic, Ramos said, “I think so, and Raúl Castro wants to reinforce that nuance of symbolism with the procession of Fidel’s ashes throughout the entire island.” If Ramos were ever granted the chance to speak with Fidel he would ask him why he betrayed the ideals he proposed in his text, “La Historia Me Absolverá,” in which he proposes the creation of an ideal country where there are no injustices and repression. “I would ask him if at anytime he was aware and conscious of how much suffering he generated in so many people of his country,” Urrea said.

Scientists win grant for autoimmune disease work BY CHANDLER DONALD @chandlerjdonald
NASA / JPLCALTECH
A UA RESEARCH TEAM has observed and measured the smallest asteroid known to science.
TINY ASTROID FROM PAGE 1
used a process known as spectroscopy, which relies on the reflections of light off the asteroid’s surface. “Depending upon what is on the surface, certain colors are brighter than the others,” Reddy said. “In this case, there were certain colors that were darker, and there were certain colors that were brighter.” The color brightness acts like a fingerprint of the asteroid’s mineral makeup. Because most meteorites come from asteroids, researchers were able to compare the properties of the asteroid to those of the meteorites they had physically in the lab, according to Reddy. While the discovery of the asteroid itself may not be a huge scientific breakthrough, there is still much to be learned from the tiny asteroid. “These asteroids probably get discovered by the dozens a month, I would say,” said Michael Nolan, a senior research scientist at the LPL. “What’s interesting about this one is that this is the size of things that are falling [to Earth] that we’re actually picking up and taking to the
lab and doing stuff with.” Like a missing piece in a puzzle, researchers can now learn more about what the meteorites they have on Earth may have been like in space. Studying asteroids in space can be limited, because you have to use a telescope and look through the atmosphere, which isn’t easy to do, according to Nolan. Nolan said that if you have a meteorite in a lab you can measure it in different ways, but you’ll still be missing information on its origin. Because it is so small and close to Earth, the 2015 TC25 bridges that gap by providing valuable information to researchers. One particularly unique property of the asteroid is its brightness. 2015 TC25 reflects 60 percent of the light that reaches it, while most asteroids only reflect 15-20 percent, Reddy said. This factor was part of the reason the team was able to deduce so much about its physical properties and chemical makeup. “Usually most of the minerals [on the surface] have some sort of iron or magnesium that makes it darker or more colorful,” Reddy said. “In this case, it formed in a region of the solar nebula when the solar system
was forming that did not have any iron or oxygen.” Another interesting property of the asteroid is its absence of regolith, a dusty material typically found on space objects such as the moon, Reddy said. “We all thought small asteroids or meteoroids in space didn’t have regolith,” Reddy said. “This is the first time we’ve found evidence that it is actually bare rock, it’s simply a rock floating in space.” Unlike the larger asteroid Bennu, which is currently the end destination of the UA-led OSIRIS-REx space mission, this asteroid seems to be much more processed in terms of its physical properties, Nolan said. According to Nolan, 2015 TC25 may have come from a bigger asteroid at the dawn of the solar system, undergoing some melting in the process. “The reason why we’re going to Bennu is this dark material on its surface masks the spectral signatures,” Reddy said. “We’re not able to get enough unique signatures to identify what it’s made of, so we have to physically go there, take a piece and come back.” Researchers are mainly interested in studying the
entire population of small asteroids as a whole. “We want to know for the population, are they mostly rocks? Are they mostly organic? Could they have brought water to the earth?” Nolan said. Even though the probability of 2015 TC25 causing any harm to our planet is very low, small asteroids are still something to be concerned about. According to Reddy, who is currently studying 20-meter and smaller asteroids through a NASAfunded project, there are many more small asteroids than there are large asteroids. This means the chance of us getting hit by a small asteroid is very high compared to that of a larger object. “We want to know different things,” Reddy said. “Like what is the ratio of large to small asteroids? If we know that ratio, we can prepare a mitigation plan. We’re trying to understand things that really affect people on the earth, at least in their day to day life.” The asteroid 2015 TC25 was discovered by the Catalina Sky Survey. To learn more about the things that the Catalina Sky Survey is discovering, check out its website.
A pair of UA researchers recently received a grant to study autoimmune diseases and their precursors. “In very general terms, [autoimmune disease] means that our own immune system turns against our own self, cells and proteins that normally it should be tolerant of,” said Pawel Kiela, UA associate professor in pediatrics, research associate professor in immunobiology and associate professor in physiological sciences. Kiela and pediatrics department head Dr. Fayez Ghishan will be principal investigators of the five-year, $1.73-million grant from the National Institutes of Health to the UA Steele Children’s Research Center. Estimates propose that 23 million to 50 million Americans live with an autoimmune disease today. This encompasses over 100 different types of illnesses including inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn’s disease. These diseases occur when immune cells begin to target healthy tissue. By identifying healthy parts of the body as a foreign infection, the body’s own immune system begins killing healthy cells, leading to the deterioration of healthy tissue. This often occurs in the bacteriarich intestines, but can occur in other parts of the body as well. “It’s a complicated matter because there are certain types of autoimmune diseases that are clearly related to genetic predisposition, but we know a lot of it is related to the environment,” Kiela said. “Many autoimmune diseases—inflammatory bowel disease, for example—they hardly exist in underdeveloped countries. But as people immigrate to places like Canada and the U.S. and some European countries, individuals become more susceptible to autoimmune diseases.” It seems as though the need for a better understanding of autoimmune diseases continues to grow. They’ve been diagnosed more and more within the last 20 years in developing countries

Shop ‘til you get caught The UA Bookstore called UAPD in reference to a male shoplifter on Nov. 29. Upon arrival, an officer met with the bookstore’s loss prevention employee who reported watching the man conceal items inside his sweater from a surveillance camera. According to the employee, the man walked into the Starbucks coffee shop connected to the bookstore and placed the items into his backpack. An employee stopped him before he exited the bookstore. The man was cooperative with the bookstore employees and agreed to go to a private meeting room on the main floor where UAPD was called. According to a bookstore employee, $233.24 worth of items was found in the suspect’s backpack. The student was placed under arrest after he told a UAPD officer he was attempting to get gifts for a friend and that he intended to take the items without paying. The surveillance video and a receipt of the items stolen was placed into UAPD property and evidence and issued a code of conduct to the Dean of Students.

Theft of miscellaneous items continues A University of the Arizona Police Department officer responded to Yavapai Residence Hall when a student reported a theft from his dorm room for the second time on Nov. 29. Police identified a student who told police he was missing a coffee mug and a plastic water jug. He told the officer he remembered falling asleep around 2 a.m. and when he woke up at 9 a.m., he noticed the miscellaneous items were missing. His roommate verified he had not used any of the stolen items but that he was also missing two spatulas and wasn’t worried about it. The residents were unsure if they left the room unlocked the night before, but police found no evidence of forced entry. He told the officer that after searching for the missing items, he was able to find the missing coffee mug as well as one of his roommate’s spatulas in the dorm bathroom. There were no witnesses or suspects and police were not able to take fingerprints since the cup and spatula had been washed. Residents told the officer they had not given anyone access to enter their room without them being there. They have no suspicions about who it could have been. A similar incident happened only 10 days prior when food and other miscellaneous items were stolen from his dorm room. He told UAPD he did not want to pursue judicial proceedings and was sent his victims rights.

lessened, Kiela said. One of the main issues regarding autoimmune disease is pinpointing why some individuals are susceptible while others are not. Kiela said this involves various factors. “In general, the factors that are thought to contribute to the rise of autoimmune diseases cannot be explained by genetics alone,” Kiela said. “The lifestyle, the amount of physical activity, the amount of stress, I think all of it contributes. Kiela and Ghishan focused their research on a specific type of immune cell—the dendritic cell, which he called the “sentinel of the immune system.” These cells instruct the immune system to do the opposite of what they’re supposed to do, and that’s not always a bad thing. “On one hand, they instruct the immune system to develop and maintain tolerance,” Kiela said. “But the very same cells, in a different situation, also promote pathogen destruction. What we focused on in our experiments was a mechanism that signals dendritic cells to
News • Monday, December 5-Tuesday, December 6, 2016 remain tolerant.” Kiela’s primary research has shown promising results in the effort to distinguish what factors can trigger autoimmune disease. He and Ghishan have conducted experiments that expose dendritic cells to different bacterial agents in order to identify which environmental factors change their function. They found that bacterial exposure can promote autoinflammatory reactions in individuals with genetic predispositions and exposure to certain environmental factors. “[Bacterial exposure] can be distractive in that it can promote autoinflammatory reactions and never be able to stop,” Kiela said. “We’re trying to understand how that happens in dendritic cells.” The way we currently treat most autoimmune diseases is through immunosuppression, which is essentially weakening the immune system to the point where it cannot kill healthy cells. Unfortunately, this often means the immune system becomes highly susceptible to infection. This type of treatment also greatly increases the risk for cancer. Kiela and Ghishan hope that their research will lead to better

Lindsay Kunz responded to a welfare check call they heard while monitoring the Tucson Police Department radio about a woman hacking a tree with a large knife. Soon after arriving at the location, Amy Hughes reportedly exited her house carrying a large kitchen knife at her side with the blade pointing backward. Sharon Chadwick, a woman who lives with Hughes, said Hughes seemed composed and content and did not feel she was a threat. As Hughes walked closer to Chadwick, the officers drew their guns and ordered Hughes to drop the knife. Kisela said the officers yelled the command to drop the knife numerous times, but Chadwick said she only heard two commands in quick succession. After Hughes had still not dropped the knife, Kisela said Hughes raised the knife as if to attack. Officers Garcia and Kunz told investigators later they did not see Hughes raise the knife. Kisela, separated from the women by a chain-link fence around the property, fired four non-fatal shots at Hughes. Chadwick also told police after the incident Hughes had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was taking

medication. Chadwick told police she didn’t think Hughes understood what was happening when she was told to drop the knife, and she said she believes Hughes would have given them the knife if police had asked and given her the opportunity to do so.

ruling and look forward to presenting the case to a jury in order to obtain justice for Ms. Hughes.” When the government decides what amount of force should be used, the court opinion states three factors are taken into consideration: the severity of the crime at issue, if the suspect poses an immediate threat to others or the officers, and if the person is actively resisting arrest. While the court found Kisela was undoubtedly concerned for Chadwick’s safety, they did not support his perception of Hughes as an immediate threat. The court also found “the question of the severity of the crime being committed also weighs in Ms. Hughes’ favor” because the officers were responding to a “check welfare” call and no crime was reported. In regards to whether or not Hughes was actively resisting arrest, the court said because the events of the incident unfolded in less than one minute, “the events in this case occurred too quickly for the officers to make an arrest attempt.” Rabago said Hughes still suffers “significant pain” as well as “physical and emotional trauma from the shooting.” “In fact about two years ago, maybe three, even one of the bullet fragments actually kind of worked its way out of her body and came out of her back,” Rabago said. “It’s really impacted her life.”

Make no mistake, Fidel Castro was evil incarnate BY CHRISTINE M. FLOWERS Philadelphia Daily News
F
idel Castro was a very accommodating fellow. He died just a few hours before I did my weekly radio program, thereby giving me the great gift of his demise as topic No. 1. I made the most of it. The majority of the show was devoted to wishing him a speedy trip to Hell, hoping that his flesh would be sizzling for eternity and sprinkling in a few attaboys to St. Michael the Archangel, who most certainly gave El Lider Maximo an introductory tour of his new lodgings. Along the way, I complained about the people who felt it appropriate to pray for the dictator’s repose, like my pope, who really needs to get a better PR person or, failing that, should make like a meatless Friday and clam up. The pontiff actually sent a sympathetic message to the family of this brutal dictator, who are themselves lesser versions of that unique evil, saying, “Upon receiving the sad news of the death of your dear brother, His Excellency Mister Fidel Alejandro Castro Ruz, former president of the State Council and of the Government of the Republic of Cuba, I express my sentiments of sorrow to your excellency and other family members of the deceased dignitary, as well as to the people of his beloved nation.” Not exactly “burn in Hell, monster,” but you wouldn’t expect that from Francis. After all, who is he to judge? Still, one would have expected some reference to Castro’s half-century of torture, repression, megalomania and brutal narcissism along with the Mass card and the hot casserole. This is especially the case after the pope condemned Donald Trump for even thinking of building a wall, calling him “un-Christian.” I’m wondering how “Christian” the walls of Castro’s prisons look to the pontiff. Yes, that is very flippant, and I have probably just guaranteed another century or so in purgatory, but I really don’t care. Evil needs to be labeled for what it is, not whitewashed because the decrepit 90-yearold shell that contained it finally broke apart.
President Barack Obama served up his usual cool, calm platitude: “During my presidency, we have worked hard to put the past behind us, pursuing a future in which the relationship between our two countries is defined not by our differences but by the many things that we share as neighbors and friends—bonds of family, culture, commerce and common humanity.” Blah. Others mourned a bit more deeply, including another decrepit nonagenarian, Jimmy Carter, who said this upon learning of the death of Cuba’s famous son: “Rosalynn and I share our sympathies with the Castro family and the Cuban people on the death of Fidel Castro. We remember fondly our visits with him in Cuba and his love of his country. We wish the Cuban people peace and prosperity in the years ahead.” Then there was Justin Trudeau, Canada’s prime minister, whose mommy, Margaret, may or may not have had a fling with Castro—I know, it’s an internet rumor, but given the amount of people Maggie slept with during her “jours de salade,” it’s not entirely impossible that she shared a mojito and a cigar with El Jefe. Trudeau said, “Fidel Castro was a larger than life leader. ... A legendary revolutionary and orator, Mr. Castro made significant improvements to the education and healthcare of his island nation. ... I know my father was very proud to call him a friend. ... On behalf of all Canadians—my wife—and I offer our deepest condolences to the family, friends and many, many supporters of Mr. Castro. We join the people of Cuba today in mourning the loss of this remarkable leader.” Reading, that, it appears that Justin—not Margaret—may have had the fling with Fidel. One politician who was not exactly thrilled with the love letter from the Canadian prime minister was the man I wanted to call Mr. President, Marco Rubio, who tweeted, “Is this a real statement or a parody?” Yes, Marco, it does sound a bit like a Lifetime movie for women, doesn’t it? Of course, there were people who recognized the horror of the man. But far too many of our progressive apologists, people who have been marching in the streets because their so-called safe spaces have been invaded by the rise of that dictator Trump, decided to focus on the “good” things that Castro did, like providing universal health care for his people and a top-notch education system.

RICK MCKEE/THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE
To which I say, what good is it developing an excellent mind if, when you use it, you end up in prison having your fingernails pulled out one by one? Or, why worry about health care when you’re better off getting life insurance to cover your funeral expenses? It really did blow my mind—and yes, that’s a Cuban Missile Crisis pun—that there were people who would actually find something good to say about this piece of evil incarnate. I suppose I’ll be labeled a shallow thinker and someone brainwashed by American propaganda—all that “false news” about those imaginary dissidents dancing on the head of a pin with the angels—but I don’t care. The pope, Jimmah, Justin and all the rest embarrassed themselves with their refusal to call out evil. Fortunately, we live in a country where you can express idiotic views and not be thrown into jail. This isn’t Havana, after all. Of course, President-elect Trump troubled me a little with his deliberately ambiguous, yet unnecessarily obtuse tweet about flag-burners. You might be saying, “Christine, what the heck does Trump have to do with Fidel?” Patience, amigos. When Trump suggested that flag-burners might be imprisoned or lose their citizenship, I said, “Another stupid Teflon tweet.” He says
the weirdest stuff and he still gets to rent the Oval Office. But the idea that Trump would suggest stripping someone of his birthright because he engaged in constitutionally protected activity is, if anything, even more offensive than the bilge from the Castro cultists. I expect a Jesuit Argentine pontiff steeped in the tradition of liberation theology, a failed peanut farmer and a 12-year-old Canadian prime minister to say stupid things. I do not expect—well, I do, but I shouldn’t—my next president to mangle the Constitution with a ridiculous comment about political dissent. And just as I was angered by the people praising Castro, I was equally disgusted with the Trump supporters who tried to justify his comments under the “well, he didn’t really mean that” standard. Give me a break. He meant it, even if he said it just to deflect attention from other stuff. To Trump’s credit, he also had one of the best reactions to Castro’s death, calling him a “brutal dictator who oppressed his own people for nearly six decades” and someone whose “legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.” That makes the burning-flag faux pas excusable. For now.

Take a break before break and get ready for finals answers to your ques ons about sex and rela onships Get your flu shot at Campus Health! To minimize wait times, call (520) 621-9202 before you come in.
Is foreplay important? How does someone make it safe but fun? Great question! Foreplay is all of the activities that come before sex (which most people define as vaginal or anal intercourse). This includes caressing, kissing, massaging, nibbling, sucking, and stimulating. It is also anything you and your partner like to do to get in the mood, such as slowly undressing each other, role-playing, talking about fantasies, etc. Foreplay can add excitement, fun, and enhance pleasure for both partners. You may have heard the saying, “men are like microwaves and women are like crockpots.” Generally speaking, men get aroused more quickly than women. The time spent on foreplay gives both partners a chance to get in “the mood.” Foreplay has been known to make sex more enjoyable and allow orgasm to be reached more easily for both sexes. Here are some additional benefits: • Physically, it extends the arousal period which gives more time for vaginal lubrication. It can also add spice and variety to your sex life. By taking the time to explore one another’s erogenous zones you can both discover new ways of arousal you may never have thought were possible.
• Emotionally, it can provide greater intimacy between you and your partner. • Mentally, you and your partner can spend more time getting in the mood and staying in the moment together longer. Foreplay is fun, but like any sexual activity it’s important to make it safer. If there is skin to skin, fluid to fluid, or fluid to skin contact, diseases can spread. Getting tested with your partner is a good idea. Confidential STD testing and treatment is offered at UA Campus Health – to make an appointment, call (520) 621-9202. Barrier methods can also be used to make oral sex safer. Campus Health sells latex dams in a variety of flavors: vanilla, banana, grape, strawberry, and mint for $1 each. You can also get 100 condoms for only $15.99! Foreplay can be a great way to electrify your sex life, pleasure your partner, and make sex more satisfying. It is also a great alternative if you and your partner are not ready (or do not want) to have vaginal or anal intercourse.

A
t an institution of higher education, grades are stressed as the most important aspect on a student’s agenda. However, students need to remember that caring for their health is as important as working toward getting those final points in their classes. Our education system values high grades, many of which are earned in the final weeks of the semester. During these weeks, students throw routines and habits out the window in an attempt to squeeze out any final points they can before grade books close for the term. Unfortunately, in many cases this includes throwing out good eating and sleeping habits. During finals week, many students revamp the age-old technique of cramming over a few short days and nights. Students stay up through the early hours of the morning and night before an exam to be sure they know the material inside and out. This technique is a failing one. Without a good amount of sleep the night before, the body hasn’t had the chance to fully recharge, leaving students exhausted and reaching for that material they crammed the night before. The Harris Health Sleep Disorder Center recommends that students get about eight or nine hours of sleep a night, and to get a good night’s sleep especially on the nights before they have exams. When the body doesn’t recharge, it becomes difficult for the immune system to fight off disease. As seasons change and the the body has to adjust to a change in temperature, and students with weakened immune systems not only put the quality of their work at risk, but also might find themselves
going home for the holidays with a cold. On a college campus, nearly everything is shared with your peers, from door knobs to sink faucets. Students are always in close proximity to each other, whether it be in the dorms, Arizona Student Unions, the UA Main Library or the classrooms. In addition to putting off a regular sleep schedule, many students get off their regular meal schedule and find themselves snacking endlessly while studying. When we cram 30-hours of work into 24 hours, meals are quickly pushed aside, or traded for fast food. We often forget to take breaks and schedule time for our brain to recharge before taking in new material. Our education system puts the odds against us as we attempt to figure out ways to build and follow daily routines. It’s important that we as students take value in our personal health and make sure we’re taking the right steps to stay healthy during finals and the winter season. Though students can’t help the assignments, papers and exams they have piling up, they can help themselves by taking some steps to prepare. Balancing studying and regular routine activities such as sleeping, eating and exercise can help students to keep their stress down, effectively giving themselves blocks of time to study. While exams and finals are vital, it’s important to remember to care for ourselves as well. Taking breaks to relax, even if they’re short, will make the process of studying and finishing final projects easier. We can’t fix the education construct toward the last two weeks of the semester. What we can do is to ensure our bodies are healthy and well enough to efficiently study and finish final assignments. Part of the learning curve of being a college student is learning how to take care of yourself in the adult world, and part of that is knowing when you need to sleep, eat and take some time to have a mental break.

UA student filmmakers will screen original documentaries at Loft Cinema event this week BY ALEC KUEHNLE @ThrowMeAnAllie
We love watching movies. Some have even dreamed of making movies and seeing their work unfold on the big screen. For a select few, that dream becomes a reality. Twelve UA film and television students’ silver screen dreams will become reality this Wednesday, Dec. 6 at the Loft Cinema in the UA School of Theatre, Film and Television’s “What’s Up, Docs?” event. The films were produced through a documentary production class here at the UA. Most of the films were made by student pairs where the partners each spent countless hours in order to bring the films to life. Alicia Farmer, a film and television junior, will screen “Suicidal,” the short documentary she and her partner made, at the Loft event. She said putting these documentaries together was long and tedious. “The filmmaking process is insane,” Farmer said. “A lot of people don’t realize just how much work goes into making a film and how many hours are spent in the lab making edit after edit. It’s exhausting, but God is it rewarding.” “Suicidal” is a personal diary film that deals with issues of depression, psychosis and suicidal thoughts Farmer’s filmmaking partner experiences. “This is a deeply personal film,” Farmer said. “A lot of people like to turn their heads and ignore it, but suicide and mental illness are simply too important and too prevalent to be put on the back burner.” Farmer added that she thinks of documentary as one of the best possible means to tackle these types of issues. “It’s real, it’s in your face,” Farmer said. “That’s simply something fiction and experimental films can’t accomplish.”

This event will give people in the community a chance to take a look at some of the talent coming out of the university. “Once it’s all finished and you’re sitting there, watching it on the big screen, you let out a sigh of relief, put on the proudest smile and say, ‘We made it. Now they know,’” Farmer said. Lorraine Koleski, a film and television junior who will also screen her film at the event, noted some of the difficulties she and her filmmaking partner encountered. The film, “Jazz on Friday,” observes a jazz dance class while also exploring dance as a form of expression and appreciation of the human body. Koleski said this wasn’t easy, by any means. “My partner and I really struggled with the theme of our
documentary,” Koleski said. “We had a lot of great footage but didn’t know what to say with it.” Many film students are not particularly used to the style of documentary, so this class poses an opportunity for students to expand their scope as a filmmaker. “When you make a fiction film, you have a script and a shot list and everything is planned to a T, so you know exactly what you’re going to end up with,” Koleski said. “With documentary, it’s a lot of guess work in the shooting, and the actual story is discovered in the editing. Overall, I found documentary to be a lot more labor intensive.” Jacob Bricca, an assistant professor in the UA School of Theatre, Film and Television, teaches the class where these documentaries are brought to life, helping the students every
step of the way to create the best work possible. “I teach the students the fundamentals of every stage of the process, from idea generation through research, pre-production, shooting and post-production and act as a guide and a helping hand,” Bricca said. “A huge amount of the storytelling in documentary takes place in the editing phase, so that is an especially intense part of the process, where I view their work multiple times and give them suggestions about how they can shape it into a coherent, well-structured film.” Despite the long and stressful process of documentary filmmaking, Bricca said helping to create these films is incredibly rewarding. “You get to see these creations go from a germ of an idea to a finished film in the space of
about 14 weeks,” Bricca said. “It’s nice to be able to provide reassurance to the students about how their projects are going.” Bricca added that creating a documentary involves a real curiosity about the world and a real engagement with it in a very direct way. He said it requires you to meet people you never would have met, ask questions that you might not otherwise be able to ask and really think about things in a different way. “It’s how you turn the real world into a cinematic experience, thinking about how you use all your tools to get across a particular point of view on a story,” Bricca said. “What’s Up, Docs?” will take place at 7 p.m. this Tuesday, Dec. 6, at The Loft Cinema. Admission is free.

Catfish and the Bottlemen to headline KFMA’s Nutcracker Ball at Rialto Theatre BY SEAN ORTH @seanaustinorth
For a band that “was always just about playing live,” Catfish and the Bottlemen has spread its sound far from its beginnings in Llandudno, Wales. The alternative rock band has been making its way across the country in support of its May LP release, The Ride, and will headline KFMA’s Nutcracker Ball at Rialto Theatre on Dec 8. Indie-rock band STRFKR will headline the second night of the event at Hotel Congress. Guitarist/lead singer Ryan Evan “Van” McCann and guitarist Johnny “Bondy” Bond spoke to the Daily Wildcat about Catfish and the Bottlemen’s progression, and how the band keeps its musical passions alive amid the tempting complacency that can come with popularity. McCann said he and his COURTESY JILL FURMANOVSKY bandmates have always been CATFISH AND THE BOTTLEMEN, an alternative rock band will headline at the Rialto Theatre Thursday Dec. 8 at KFMA’s Nutcracker Ball. driven by playing live shows. process for them. to recording— an approach that be live, so when you see it live it’s “We’ve been on the road since “When we’ve been playing worked to best bring out the band’s a naturally more exciting,” Bond we started the band,” McCann them live, it just feels like one big raw sound. said. “You don’t lose something said. “If we could make a record sound,” McCann said. “It’s always “We found a real compass with from the record.” it was OK, but we just wanted to changing to how we play it live— [Sardy],” McCann said. “It was The dynamic at the band’s play—take it around the world and it’s that version, that moment.” different.

Though the group continually has those unreal, accomplished moments, McCann said he and his bandmates try not to dwell on how far the band has come because the growth of their artistry can only happen with a forward outlook. “That’s not the sort of thing that any of us would allow ourselves to think, that we’ve already ‘made it,’” McCann said. “We’re too hungry to sit on our laurels—we’re probably too far ahead of ourselves.” Equally blessed in talent and humility, Catfish and the Bottlemen look forward to creating a memorable experience at the Rialto Theatre this Thursday, Dec. 8. Tickets can be purchased at the door or on the Rialto’s website.

T-loc named Dog Trainer of the Year BY TAYLOR BRESTEL @taylorbrestel
Local dog trainer Jeremy Brown is on the brink of being announced the winner of Greatmats 2nd Annual National Dog Trainer of the Year Award for the second year in a row. Brown has been training dogs for over a decade, and is now the owner and head trainer of his own business, The Complete Canine. He competed against four other dog trainers from around the country to maintain his title as National Dog Trainer of the Year. Voting ran through Nov. 30, and Brown received 451 votes—over five times more than the second place trainer at 89 votes.He was nominated both years by clients whose dogs he had worked with. “It’s really increased business,” Brown said. “It’s insane how busy I am from last year to now. We’ve had so many people that want us to work with them, and that’s really nice.”
The Complete Canine opened about a year ago, and it has been so popular that Brown had to employ five other dog trainers. His business was also one of the top local dog training businesses in the Arizona Daily Star’s 2016 Readers Choice Awards. His favorite part about his job is training therapy dogs, and Brown said he trains a lot of the dogs that come to campus for de-stressing programs such as the ones during finals week. He has been a Canine Good Citizenship evaluator for about eight years. “I even volunteer with my own dogs,” Brown said. “I have two therapy dogs myself, Lacey and Archie, and they’re both rescues. Lacey’s a three-legged dog that is amazing and Archie’s a yellow lab. They’re both really great therapy dogs.” Previously, Brown worked at PetSmart as a dog trainer, but left to open his own business for the freedom to work when he wanted and to focus more on training therapy dogs, which is

his specialty. “I’ve been able to help people, and that’s just been an amazing part of the process,” Brown said. “I’m one of the only people in Tucson that can train for that, and that’s been a big thing.” Another part of therapy dogs is training them to be around people. Brown and his staff walk the dogs around the UA every week to get them used to being in crowded places where people will want to interact with them. “The dogs are usually smarter than the people,” Brown said. Brown said his favorite type of dog is not a breed, but rather a category. “I love rescue dogs because they tend to appreciate a little bit more and they give back a whole lot more.” Brown told a story about how his three-legged dog, Lacey, had broken her back leg after her previous owners had left her tied down. She was going to be euthanized, but a rescue group saved her.
CAELUM GAY/THE DAILY WILDCAT
JEREMY BROWN, OWNER OF The Complete Canine, on Wednesday, Nov 30. Brown is a local dog trainer and has been nominated for the Greatmats 2nd Annual National Dog Trainer of the Year Award.
“She is the best therapy dog on the planet because she has empathy like you wouldn’t believe,” Brown said. “She is so loving.” So, is dog training anything like the TV shows? Not necessarily.
“There’s lots of great tips they give you on TV, and it’s great that they do that because it brings training to the masses,” Brown said. He added that each dog is different, and the things that work on the shows may not work for every dog.

a fight. Michigan State took the fourth set 26-24, forcing the match to the deciding fifth set. Arizona scored six of the first seven points in the decisive set. The Wildcats took a five-point lead with help from Kalei Mau, who provided back-to-back kills. Dahlke finished the set 15-10 with a kill to take the team to the Sweet 16. Mau led Arizona with a total of 23 kills on a .321 hitting percentage followed by Dahlke with 22 kills on a .314 hitting percentage. Setter Penina Snuka racked 57 assist with 15 digs for her 22nd double-double of the season. There’s no question the Wildcats
have had their backs against the wall with the odds against them and a resilient group is one way to describe this Arizona squad. From sweeping USC and UCLA in Los Angeles for the first since 1986, to Saturday night’s victory over the No. 9 seed Spartans, this season has the making to be an intriguing one when it’s all said and done. “I don’t even have words for it,” said Arizona libero Laura Larson. “That’s what the seniors and I have worked for these last four years.” The hill for Arizona continues to present challenges, as its next opponent
is No. 8 Washington that swept Kentucky in the round-of-32 matchup. Not only were the Huskies crowned Pac-12 Conference champions, but they also swept Arizona this season. In two matches against Washington, Arizona has only won one set and was swept in its last outing in Seattle less than a month ago. Arizona will play in the Lincoln, Nebraska Regional on Friday, Dec. 9, against Washington. The start time is to be determined, and the match will be aired on ESPN3.

Staples Center BY SAUL BOOKMAN @Saul_Bookman
L
OS ANGELES—The Arizona men’s basketball team has had a history with the Staples Center in Los Angeles, and it hasn’t been a good one as evident by the Wildcats’ 69-62 loss to No. 8 Gonzaga on Saturday. “We knew coming in here that we were going to have our hands full and certainly we did,” Arizona head coach Sean Miller said. For a venue that should represent as close to a home court advantage as there could be, Staples Center is a virtual house of horror for Wildcat fans, rivaling only the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, as the most disappointing venue. The Wildcats were lost, short-handed and battered in a game they never came within five points of Gonzaga. While the 2014 Elite Eight loss to the Wisconsin Badgers was in Anaheim, the Wildcats have struggled in big games at the Staples Center as recently as 2015, when Arizona lost in LA for the second consecutive year to Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker. The 2015 Elite Eight game still stews in the back of Arizona fans’ minds as what could’ve been if the Wildcats had gotten over the plateau of beating Wisconsin. That game isn’t enough to deem LA a city
where dreams go to die for Miller’s team, but looking back at the history of the venue provides a better idea of how below average the Wildcats have performed in this venue. From the time the inaugural tournament for the Pac-12 Conference began at Staples Center in 2002, to the final buzzer of the last championship game played there in 2012, Arizona had won just one tournament championship in four chances. To make matters worse, the average margin of defeat for the Wildcats was just over four points with two of the losses ending in twopoint deficits. The Wildcats were cut short of greatness even in the hay day of Hall of Fame head coach Lute Olson and a plethora of NBA players competing together. The most excruciating defeat came in 2011 against Washington as Huskies guard Isaiah Thomas hit a buzzer beating 3-pointer in overtime to send Derrick Williams and company home 77-75. Of course the Wildcats have more history in Staples Center than just the Pac-12 tournament. Arizona battled with Ohio State in the 2013 Sweet 16 and came up short when Wildcats forward Grant Jerrett misplayed a screen, leaving LaQuinton Ross wide open for an NBA range 3-pointer to send the Wildcats packing. Arizona’s overall record at Staples Center is 13-13, but the heartbreak it has received, especially in the NCAA Tournament, has left many Wildcat fans befuddled and devastated time and time again. Saturday’s game against Gonzaga was just another chapter in Arizona’s unfortunate history in the Staples Center.

Zone defense headaches run rich in Arizona history BY IVAN LEONARD @Ivan14bro
LOS ANGELES—Of all the things Arizona fans have dreaded in season’s past, opponents going to a zone defense—whether it be a twothree, a three-two or a two-one-two—usually ranks at the top of their list. Those frustrations have come to fruition this season, as the zone-d has already taken its toll on Arizona men’s basketball this season. Tasked with no point guard and erratic 3-point shooting, Arizona’s offense against No. 8 Gonzaga in Los Angeles on Saturday looked more lost than Coldplay. With Gabe York hooping it up for Arizona last season, the Wildcats had a trusted shooter who could bust zones with an open look. This year, freshmen Lauri Markkanen, Rawle Alkins and Kobi Simmons are Arizona’s best 3-point options. The loss of their leading facilitator in Parker Jackson-Cartwright and leading returning scorer in Allonzo Trier definitely does not help. Jackson-Cartwright was hitting 26 percent of his 3s in 2016, while Trier hit 36 percent last season as two of Arizona’s most important returners. With those two proven veterans in the lineup, Markkanen, Alkins, Simmons and Allen do not have to force the issue on offense. But right now, they do. Even dating back to when T.J. McConnell was lacing it up for Arizona, attacking a zone defense has really plagued the Wildcats. Arizona struggled at times even with York, as he was its only consistent shooter. Arizona’s three best 3-point shooters this season are all been freshmen and they’ve looked extremely lost at times, especially against Gonzaga. Besides those three, Arizona only has Kadeem Allen and Dusan Ristic who have not exactly been lighting it up from beyond the 3-point arc. Ristic has yet to attempt a 3-pointer
this year, though he is capable, while Allen is only hitting 25 percent of his attempts. Arizona is shooting 35 percent from the 3-point line this season, but if you subtract Markkanen’s totals, the numbers decrease substantially. Outside of Markkanen, Arizona is 25-for-79 from 3-point land for a clip of under 32 percent. Arizona saw the zone defense on Nov. 21 when Northern Colorado took on the Wildcats in Mckale Center. Arizona won the game 7155, but struggled mightily in that game as well. The Wildcats shot under 37 percent in the first half and led only 31-30 before coasting to a 16-point victory. If Arizona wants to stay successful, it will have to find a way to succeed without Trier and Jackson-Cartwright. Markkanen, far and away Arizona’s best shooter, shot 4-of-14 from the field and missed all three of his 3-point attempts as the Bulldogs locked down on the breakout freshman, at times throwing two or three defenders his way. “He is a fabulous player, and [Arizona head coach] Sean Miller has done a great job putting him in a lot of actions,” said Gonzaga head coach Mark Few. “We switched our ball screen coverages and shaded our zone to him and we did as well as we could and he still found sound hoops.” Despite the uncertainty of when his players will return, Miller is still seeing some positives from this situation. “A lot of times teams suffer through adversity and injuries in February or January,” Miller said. “For us, we have really been hit with these things at the beginning so it’s allowing Markkanen and Alkins to have a lot on their plate.” Arizona fans can only hope that the team learns through this early season adversity and that it will help strengthen the Wildcats in the long run. Figuring out the zone defense will be key if Miller and Arizona want to keep a positive outlook.
