RECORD ROUT

By Esra Hashem The Collegian In response to the recent salmonella outbreak linked to Foster Farms, Fresno State faculty members urge consumers to cook their meat thoroughly to prevent disease.

“I stress the importance of food safety,” said Michelle Ganci, professor of animal science and founder of the poultry program on campus. “What I tell consumers and what I teach in the classroom is that you need to cook your chicken to 165 degrees internal temperature. It’s just like your grandma would tell you: you can’t eat raw chicken.”

The outbreak was noted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) when it issued a public health alert on Oct. 7.

“The outbreak is continuing,” USDA-FSIS said in the alert. “The investigations indicate that consumption of Foster Farms brand chicken and other brand chicken produced at Foster Farms plants are the likely source of this outbreak of Salmonella Heidelberg infections.”

Eating food contaminated with Salmonella Heidelberg can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses. The usual symptoms of salmonellosis are diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), as of Oct. 11, 317 individuals have been infected with outbreak strains of salmonella in the U.S. Seventythree percent of the individuals infected are from California.

On Oct. 10, USDA-FSIS announced that Foster Farms “submitted and implemented immediate substantive changes” to their slaughtering and processing centers.

“They’re going to move forward through this and continue to make a safe food product in the best way possible,” Ganci said. “When you have good companies like Foster Farms that have an 80-year history of good food safety, it kind of speaks for itself. That’s why the U.S. government didn’t shut down the plants.”

Fresno State wide receiver Davante Adams runs for a 75-yard score on the first play from scrimmage of the Bulldogs’ 38-14 win over UNLV Saturday night at Bulldog Stadium.

Bulldogs rock Rebels 38-14

By Christopher Livingston The Collegian Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr and the Bulldogs routed UNLV in a 38-14 victory Saturday night at Bulldog Stadium on a record-setting night.

The senior quarterback completed 33 of 48 passes for 412 yards. His four touchdown passes placed him first on the all-time Bulldog list with 86 in his career.

He broke the previous record of 84 in the first quarter of the matchup.

“Those stats are great,” Carr said. “But to me, I just want to win games.”

Carr’s receiver of choice was Davante Adams, who caught eight passes for 221 yards and four scores. Isaiah Burse had eight catches for 73 yards. “[Davante’s] amazing. He’s the best receiver in the nation,” Carr

said. “The greatest thing about [the receivers] is they’re all humble and they work hard.”

On the first play of the game, Carr lobbed a 75-yard pass to Adams that went into the end zone for a Fresno State touchdown. With 4:42 remaining in the first quarter, Carr connected another pass to Adams — this time for a 28-yard score — for a 14-0 lead.

“We had this game plan all week where we were trying to start off fast,” Adams said. “It was a great idea by [offensive coordinator Dave] Schramm and the staff to get the game going.”

In the Bulldogs’ first drive of the second quarter, running back Josh Quezada scored on a 2-yard run to give his team a 21-0 lead.

On the next drive, UNLV running back Shaq Murray-Lawrence breezed by the Fresno State defense and rushed 73 yards to

OP-ED

2003 Nobel Prize for MRI denied to Raymond V. Damadian

By Dr. George Kauffman

According to Ulf Lagerkvist, a member of the Swedish Academy of Sciences who participated in judging nominations for the chemistry prize, “It is in the nature of the Nobel Prize that there will always be a number of candidates who obviously deserve to be rewarded but never get the accolade.”

Usually, a losing candidate merely accepts the injustice. But in the case of the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine ($1.3 million), awarded ten years ago, to chemist Paul C. Lauterbur and physicist Sir Peter Mansfield “for their discoveries concerning magnetic resonance imaging,” the undoubtedly deserving candidate, Raymond Vahan Damadian, didn’t take this injustice lying down.

A group called “The Friends of Raymond Damadian” protested the denial with full-page advertisements in The New York Times, Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the Stockholm newspaper Dagens Nyheter.

Damadian’s exclusion scandalized the scientific community in general and the Armenian community in particular. He correctly claimed that he had invented MRI and that Lauterbur and Mansfield had merely refined the technology.

Because Damadian was not included in the award even though the Nobel statutes permit the award to be made to as many as three living individuals, his omission was clearly deliberate.

The possible purported reasons for his rejection have included the fact that he was a physician not an academic scientist, his intensive lobbying for the prize, his supposedly abrasive personality, and his active support of Young Earth Creationism. None of these constitute valid grounds for the denial.

The careful wording of the prize citation reflects the fact that the laureates did not come up with the idea of applying nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (the term was later changed to avoid the public’s fear of the word “nuclear” even though nuclear energy is not involved in the procedure) to medical imaging.

Today MRI is universally used to image every part of the body and is particularly useful in diagnosing cancer, strokes, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, torn ligaments and tendonitis, to name just a few conditions. An MRI scan is the best way to see inside the human body without cutting it open.

The original idea of applying NMR to medical imaging (MRI) was first proposed by Damadian, who found that there was a lag in relaxation times between the

electrons of normal and malignant tissue, allowing him to distinguish between normal and cancerous tissue in rats implanted with tumors.

On March 19, 1971 in the journal Science he published the seminal article for NMR use in organ imaging.

Damadian received a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in 1971 to continue his work. He proposed to use whole body scanning by NMR for medical diagnosis in a U.S. patent issued on February 5, 1974. By February 1976 he was able to scan the interior of a live mouse using his FONAR method (field focused nuclear magnetic resonance).

In 1977, using his machine christened “Indomitable” — now preserved in the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. — Damadian tried to scan himself, but the test failed because of his excessive weight.

On July 3, 1977 he obtained the first human NMR image — a cross-section of his slender postgraduate assistant Larry Minkoff’s chest, which revealed heart, lungs, vertebra, and musculature. Minkoff had to be moved over 60 positions with 20 to 30 signals taken from each position.

Congratulatory telegrams poured in from all over the world, including one from Mansfield.

In early 1978, Damadian established the FONAR Corporation in Melville, NY to

produce MRI scanners. Later that year he completed his design of the first practical permanent magnet for an MRI scanner, christened “Jonah.” By 1980 his QED 80, the first commercial MRI scanner, was completed.

The MRI imaging industry now expanded rapidly with more than a dozen different manufacturers. On Oct. 6, 1997 the U.S. Supreme Court awarded him $128,705,766 from the General Electric Company for infringement of his patent.

Damadian is universally recognized as the originator of MRI (by President Ronald Reagan, among others) and received numerous prestigious awards like the National Medal of Technology in 1988, the year in which he was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

He was named by the international Armenian service organization, Knights of Vartan, the 2003 “Man of the Year.” On March 18, 2004 the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia bestowed its Bower Award on him for his development of MRI. Dr. George Kauffman is professor emeritus of chemistry at Fresno State. He received his Ph.D in chemistry from the University of Florida. He has published 17 books and more than 2,000 articles.

Fresno lacks more than professional sports

By Haley Lambert Opinion Editor A friend recently asked me to weigh in the question, “Why can’t Fresno support a professional sports franchise?”

It’s a question I’ve asked myself several times. On its face, Fresno seems, theoretically, a contender as the home to an NBA, NFL, NHL or MLB team.

The Fresno metropolitan area, home to a little more than 1 million people within the counties of Madera and Fresno, seems an ideal choice for a team — that’s 1 million potential fans.

The metropolitan areas of Salt Lake City, Utah, Buffalo, NY and New Orleans, La., have a population less than 1.3 million people.

So why is Fresno not in the running?

There are at least two reasons of which I can surmise. The simpler one has to with the fact that so many Fresnans have pledged allegiance to another long-standing professional sports team.

Folks around here tend to admire the teams from either Southern California or the Bay Area. Some like teams from other states.

A complicated reason has to do with finances.

In cities of comparable size to Fresno, say Buffalo, the city is the second largest in the state, plus it’s home to several major

THE

employers M&T Bank, Rich Foods, as well as Merchant Insurance Group and a branch of the Federal Executive Board.

Several interstates intersect in Buffalo as well. In a nutshell, this city is major hub for business, which makes sense considering it’s smack-dab in the middle of what’s known as the Northeastern Trade Corridor.

New Orleans seems pretty self-explanatory. Granted, the Big Easy is often portrayed as a den of corruption and thievery or a booze-soaked fantasyland home to bead-wearing Cajuns.

These generalizations, as well as the city’s position as a major port, have made New Orleans a powerhouse of tourism and finance, even in the midst of hurricanes and oil spills.

Salt Lake City, like Buffalo, holds the position of major commerce crossroad. Not only does Delta Airlines keep its hub at Salt Lake City International Airport, the city is home to several major corporations. Some of these are Sinclair Oil, the Huntsman Corporation and Smith’s Food and Drug.

There is also a significant tech presence in the metropolitan area with offices for 3M, eBay, Intel and Adobe.

While Fresno has several large employers, they are not the type of entity that brings in immense, profitable assets.

The largest employer is Community Medical Center, followed by the City of Fresno and then Saint Agnes Medical

Center. If totaled these three institutions employee fewer than 15,000 people.

In Buffalo, for example, the four smallest employers on the list of the top 10, employ more than 18,000 people. These are Top Markets, Buffalo Public Schools, M&T Bank and Erie County.

Fresno has the populations of the aforementioned cities, but financially it suffers.

Looking at the reasons for Fresno’s not being home to a sports team shows the bigger issue in Fresno: profit-turning business is lacking.

Granted, there are hospitals, farms, restaurants, several college campuses and public schools, yet where is the major manufacturer who employs the working class?

Working class being the folks who are intelligent but don’t really want to go to college. They don’t want to be bankers, teachers or engineers. In some instances circumstances dictated they could not become these professionals.

These folks want to make a living. Not a minimum wage living. They need benefits, a squarely middle class income and the knowledge that they work for a great company producing very real and very useable goods.

I’m talking manufacturing.

Not farming. It’s not incredibly mechanized or uses low-wage labor.

Not infrastructure improvements.

Though necessary and honorable, those use

public funds to produce things that do not bring in revenue.

Not professional firms like insurance and banking. Their exclusivity based on needing an education means they cannot employ enough people.

Fresno has a vast population, with people who would work if given an equitable opportunity. That is, equitable with assistance programs.

As of right now, Fresno is the home to professional careers and fast food or retail jobs.

Tech jobs will never come here because of the lacking proximity to Los Angeles and the Bay area.

Though the mayor and others want Downtown renovated, this will not happen until there is a large corporate entity providing sustainable jobs.

Tax revenue cannot come solely through public employees, subsidized farmers and restaurant employees.

Bringing in a major manufacturer will be a long arduous process, but it begins with streamlining regulations and zoning laws.

Until this happens, until a large, honest, equitable employer stakes claims in the Fresno area, there will be little money for schools, Downtown renovation or infrastructure improvement.

And no investor in their right mind will choose this million-person metroplex for a professional sports team.

like that,” Abou Zeid said. “She was lucky because we heard about it. But there are a lot of women and girls that this happens to and we don’t hear about it. It happens a lot away from Cairo.”

As a result, she said, fashion became a political statement.

How she and her daughter decided to dress sent a message as clear as the signs she held in the pictures urging the regime to “Go Out.” “Each one of us on a personal level were resisting any attack on personal freedom,” she said. “My daughter and I decided to go out in public for the first time in our lives without wearing sleeves. I used to consider what might provoke people when picking out my clothes. For them [extremists] it’s big. I wore a skirt as well. I used it as a way to say, ‘No.’ It was political resistance against them.”

With the July 3 removal of Morsi by the military, Abou Zeid said many people have adopted a more positive attitude toward the army compared to how they felt in 2011.

“People believe the army saved us from Muslim Brotherhood,” she said. That is the common feeling among the Egyptians. Behind the scenes, the army is playing the game, and they are looking to establish power. How much power they will keep for themselves—we won’t know until the constitution is done. We expect a lot. But the Egyptian people are different now than we were in 2011.”

ART: Nonprofit combats human trafficking, spreads awareness CONTINUED from page 6 “It’s an important thing.”

The event featured different stations, from a just-for-fun glitter tattoo station to a paintbrush washing station, for guests to use or peruse during the afternoon.

Taylor Allsup, a Fresno State business student, was manning one of these for his Management 133S service-learning project.

Although Allsup was partici-

pating in Saturday’s event to fulfill the community service portion of the course, he said his group chose to focus on human trafficking partly because so many people aren’t aware slavery still exists in the U.S. “It’s kind of a hard subject to try to help and stuff, because you don’t see immediate results as far as trying to help,” Allsup said.

“Our group’s doing awareness, so I think that’s one of the biggest

things, is just letting people know that it is an issue in Fresno, and possibly trying to do something, some sort of event to help out the cause.”

Unlike Allsup, Shurtleff said he has seen human trafficking up close and personal. After a lifetime of working in the criminal justice system, Shurtleff said seeing the destruction slavery causes is “heartbreaking.”

Shurtleff said he believes organizations, like Made For Them, are essential in educating society and helping and giving hope to victims of human trafficking.

Now that he’s retired, Shurtleff said he’s a private citizen with a lot of contacts and hopes to use these contacts to help Made For Them grow.

‘Fresno Zombie Run’

gets scary for a good cause Runners gathered at Woodward Park Saturday Oct. 19 to raise money for Children’s Hospital Central California and gear up for Halloween

By Veronique Werz Special to The Collegian Hundreds of families and friends attended Fresno’s first ever Zombie Run Saturday at Woodward Park.

Tim Mechem, the event organizer, said he had been planning the event for more than a year.

“I knew they were doing them [zombie runs] in other areas, and I know a lot of national runs come into Fresno, but I thought it would be great to do something local for the community,” Mechem said.

He said a portion of the proceeds from the Fresno Zombie Run will benefit Children’s Hospital Central California.

Mechem said this was the first time an event like this has been put on in Fresno.

“I’ve gone through the course listening to people scream, and it seems like they’re having a good time,” Mechem said. “Some of the zombies even did their own makeup which I find truly amazing.”

A themed event revolving around Halloween, Mechem said the run was meant for folks to come out, run and stay healthy.

“We put out some health tips and how to take care of yourself to get ’m hoping this event will raise about $10,000, but looking at evpeople in the mode of personal fitness,” erybody, I expect more than that...Every amount is great to us and Mechem said. “I honestly just want every penny counts.” people to enjoy themselves and have a good time.

“If people come through and have a — Kathy Colacchio, positive experience, I will be more than Development specialist, Foundation of Children’s Hospital happy.”

Kathy Colacchio, development specialist for the Foundation of Children’s Hospital, said this event supported whatever the hospital had needs for.

“I’m hoping this event will raise about $10,000, but looking at everybody, I expect more than that,” Colacchio said. “Every amount is great to us and every penny counts.

“I was on the site just a couple days ago, and I was amazed by all the different things Tim added to it. He’s a very good organizer, and I’m very proud of him.”

Photo by Veronique Werz Colacchio said she enjoyed it when families came and brought their kids because that is what the event was Adrien Lim and Jamie Cotton were asked by the Fresno Zombie Society to dress up all about. as “zombies” for the Fresno Zombie Run. “All the events for Children’s Hospital are family-driven and we love it,” Colacchio said. “It takes a community to raise a hospital.”

Colacchio said they wouldn’t have been here for 60 years if the community didn’t support Children’s Hospital.

“They support us all the way to Bakersfield and Los Angeles and all the way to Oakland,” Colacchio said.

Adrien Lim and Jamie Cotton, “zombie” participants at the zombie run, said they were asked to participate by professional zombies from the Fresno Zombie Society.

“Renee Lane, Undead Beauties Freelance Makeup Artist, organized the society and worked with the individuals who organized the event,” Lim said. “The individuals who set up the run wanted to have professional ‘zombies’ come out dressed up and in character to participate in the event.”

Lim said he has participated in events as a “zombie” many times before, but this was the first zombie run.

“The role of us being zombies is to create a zombie spirit and to support the event,” Cotton said.

“It is to show everyone just exactly how far you can take the makeup and how real it can look.”

Lim said he liked when people gave him compliments. He couldn’t say thank you, so instead he made guttural moaning sounds.

“The way it works is that all the runners wear red flags around their waist which symbolizes Photo by Veronique Werz their health, and there are zombies on the course Zombies had apocalyptic makeup done for the race and chased after trying to eat their brains,” Lim said. “If the particirunners wearing red flags symbolizing their health.

Cotton said the event was organized and had a lot of activities going on, including a dance competition for kids.

Ricky Eredia, a Lemoore High School graduate and a runner in the event, said this was his first time doing a zombie run, which he enjoyed.

“I wanted to do a zombie run in Arizona but am glad I got to participate in this one here in Fresno,” Eredia said.

Eredia said he was able to have realistic, zombie makeup done on himself, and liked how it turned out, but said he likes zombies for other reasons.

“I like zombies because they’re terrifying and scary,” Eredia said. “They’re the most frightening monsters to me.”

After the race, Eredia said he wanted to check out the merchandise vendors were selling and relax.

“I just love going to events, and this one was fantastic,” Eredia said.

The ‘Art of Freedom’ Fresno nonprofit holds event to raise money and awareness in the fight against human trafficking

By Megan Rupe The Collegian To Fresno nonprofit Made For Them, 27 million is more than a number. It represents the number of men, women and children around the world enslaved and trafficked as sex slaves.

On Saturday, the nonprofit held the “Art of Freedom,” an annual fundraiser designed to raise money for victims and spread awareness about what guest speaker Mark Shurtleff called the second largest-growing international crime behind the illegal drug trade.

“Most people think that sex trafficking and human trafficking occur somewhere else; it’s Indonesia, it’s other places, it’s not a problem here in America,” Shurtleff, Utah’s retired attorney general, said. “And quite frankly, estimates are anywhere up to 300,000 people in slavery, modern day slavery, in the United States of America.

“100,000 children, girls, young girls primarily, in the slave trade of sex trafficking.”

For $55 a ticket, $550 for a table seating 8 or $650 for a table seating 10, guests ost people think that sex trafficking and human were invited to the backtrafficking occur somewhere else; it’s Indonesia, it’s yard of a beautiful estate on other places, it’s not a problem here in America...”

After arriving, eating and bidding, guests walked from their burlap-covered tables to the “Art Bar,” where they picked up paint supplies and a wooden canvas to begin creating a work of art, which they would later seal and take home.

Volunteer Whitney Ensom, a Fresno State graduate student pursuing her master’s degree in social work, found out about the event through friends at her church, The Well.

Ensom said the “Art of Freedom” raises money to combat the issue of human traffick-

ing, which she said is something most people don’t know happens in the United States.

“You do think maybe it’s [human trafficking] in a far-off place, but it actually is in our own backyard, even in Fresno from what we’re hearing, so it’s a local issue,” Ensom said.

“And the nonprofit Made For Them is one that’s working on combatting it all over, so it’s in the U.S., it’s not necessarily talked about as much, but it is a big issue.

Fresno State Homecoming 2013

CONTINUED from page 12 yardage with his feet on a night Bulldogs of the past were there to watch.

Jeff Tedford and Kevin Sweeney, two former Fresno State quarterbacks who set records of their own in their time behind center, were there for Fresno State’s Homecoming.

Fresno State football alumni – spanning decades – met the Bulldogs of the present at the 50-yard line as they grabbed a 6-0 start for the first time since 2001.

Older brother David, who manned the quarterback position that year, watched too.

“When the best quarterback to ever play here is your big brother, and you can have both your names on a book someday that says you have records together, it means a tremendous deal to me,” Carr said after the game with David, like the Boise State game, watching from a corner in the room.

“Not only is he my big brother and the best quarterback to ever play here, he’s my role model. I want to be just like him, obviously, because I came here.”

Carr also set a new school record for career pass completions (he’s 849 of 1,278 at Fresno State) and, in the third quarter, he became the third player in school history to pass for more than 10,000 yards in a career.

Carr connected with Adams for all four of his touchdown scores.

There would’ve been a fifth connection – which would’ve helped Adams set the school record for touchdown catches in a game – in the third quarter, but an offensive interference penalty voided the touchdown pass.

“We’ll tie it for now,” Adams said.

FRESNO STATE FOOTBALL

ROUT: Bulldogs remain undefeated with 38-14 victory CONTINUED from page 1 the game.

The Bulldogs had the ball in the red zone with less than a minute remaining in the first half, but Carr’s pass fell short. The game went into halftime with Fresno State leading 28-14.

In the second half, Carr completed his fourth touchdown pass of the evening to Adams after a four-minute drive to bring the score to 35-14. Seven minutes later, Carr threw another pass to Adams that was in the end zone.

But instead of a fifth touchdown, the play was ruled dead because of offensive pass interference. The Bulldogs settled for a 36-yard Colin McGuire field goal.

The fourth quarter was silent, as UNLV was unable to score. Fresno State practiced its ground game to run out the clock.

“We’re still making progress in our running game,” Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter said. “When you can finish a game like we did, running the ball, that’s always a bonus.”

Saturday was the sixth-straight win for the Bulldogs (6-0, 3-0 MWC) and the tenth straight home win. Next up is San Diego State (3-3, 2-0 MWC) on Oct. 26.

“We know it’s going to be a challenge,” DeRuyter said. “We have the Oil Can here and they are going to want it back.”

Defense shows improvement in win

By Christopher Livingston The Collegian For the second straight game, the Bulldogs’ defense allowed only two touchdowns and fewer than 300 yards in their 38-14 victory over the UNLV Rebels last Saturday at Bulldog Stadium.

And for the second time this season, the Bulldogs shut out their opponent in the final two quarters -- no second-half points were allowed in the contest.

“We had to put together our complete defensive game,” said Fresno State cornerback L.J. Jones. “As long as we do that, the crowd will be shocked and we’ll be able to do a lot of things.”

For the first time under coach Tim DeRuyter, the Bulldogs defense did not force a turnover. But all they needed to do was maintain a ground presence.

“Even if we don’t get a turnover, we just know that if we are all playing for one another, we can get away with the win,” Jones said.

Coming into Saturday’s game, the Bulldogs averaged 9.2 points per quarter in the second half of games this season. After the first half of the UNLV game, Fresno State only allowed 89 total yards from UNLV: 21 yards rushing and 68 passing.

The Rebels had no positive yards on the ground in the fourth quarter. Running back Adonis Smith ran for a loss of 4 yards and quarterback Caleb Herring was sacked

by Fresno State safety Derron Smith for a loss of 5 yards.

“We need to pass rush,” Jones said.

“That helps us out in the backfield because the ball comes out quicker. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get an interception tonight, but we know that if we keep working we can do it.”

Next for Fresno State is a road game against the San Diego State Aztecs.

“We’re just going to watch film as a group and prepare ourselves for the upcoming week,” Jones said. “Every team in this conference is pretty good, so we just make sure that we are on the same page with each other.”

The first play of the game was the indicator – like mercury measuring the day’s heat – that Fresno State quarterback Derek Carr would rewrite the school’s record books again.

He did -- breaking records on a record night.

Wide receiver Davante Adams lined up on the outside to Carr’s right in that first play, single-covered by the UNLV defense and ready to run a straight vertical route.

Adams gained separation from his guy about 20 yards out. Carr threw a strike after brief hesitation – and Adams caught it and ran for a 75-yard score, nine seconds into the game.

And in the process of a 38-14 Mountain West Conference win over the Rebels Saturday at Bulldog Stadium, Carr ran his name deeper into the Fresno State record books.

Carr set the school record for career touchdown passes early in the second quarter and finished the night completing 33 of 48 passes for 412 yards and four touchdowns.

Afterward, Paul Pinegar, the previous record-holder, caught Carr on the sidelines and shook his hand in congratulations.

Fresno State coach Tim DeRuyter found out about it after the game.

“Were you aware of where Derek was in terms of school records?” DeRuyter was asked in the postgame press conference.

“I knew he was close. Did he get it?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, congratulations,” he told Carr from the podium, who was sitting in one of the front rows. “During the game, I wasn’t thinking about it.”

Carr wasn’t either.

“The stats and all that are great,” he said, “and it’s going to be great for my son to look at someday, but to me, I just want to win games.”

On the field, there was no answer for Carr, who threw swing passes and deep balls, evaded pressure and gambled for See CARR, Page 10
