The UA recently introduced its new rebranding campaign with the main tagline “Bigger Questions. Better Answers. Bear Down.” Eddie Navarette, associate vice president of marketing communications and brand management, said that the new tagline represents what the university aspires to be as a whole. “This is an active tagline that builds into all the things that we do here,” Navarette said. “It’s grounded and something very important. It’s not just an athletic battle cry. It’s everything: It’s a way of living here, it’s a mindset — everything is grounded in this whole idea to ‘bear down,’ achieve and do well.” The new marketing and rebranding campaign, which was launched on April 11, is one of the largest campaigns that has ever been launched at the UA . Phase one of this reinvention campaign is costing about $600,000, but it was entirely financed by foundation money received from donors, Navarette said. This renovation of the UA’s image was much more complex than some may understand, Navarrete said, and the project has required a number of people working on it. “We worked closely with every constituent group you could imagine on campus — faculty, staff, leadership, external partners, donors, alumni,” Navarrete said. “They helped us land on a concept through interviews and focus groups. It was a dedication to cadence.” The introduction of the rebranding was concurrent with the launch of the Capital Campaign, the UA’s new fundraising campaign, so that the two could be introduced at the same time, according Chris Sigurdson, senior associate vice president of university relations. Sigurdson said the focus of the rebranding campaign is to show people what the UA stands for and works toward. “There’s who we are and making sure that it’s authentic and true to who we think we are, and making sure that people know who that is and why it’s

The University of Arizona Police Department will hold its biannual “Prescription Drug TakeBack” program event on campus this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will give community members an opportunity to get rid of their unused and unwanted prescription pills from home. This is UAPD’s third year having the event at its station on First Street. The event accepts solid prescription medications in their original containers with personal information removed from the prescription labels. Kim Birmingham, chief pharmacist at the Campus Health Pharmacy, said that the Prescription Drug Take-Back is a good way for people with unused medication to prevent potential drug abuse and to clear cabinet space.

THE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA Police Department is holding the Prescription Drug Take-Back program, which gives community members the opportunity to dispose of unused or unwanted prescriptions.

“It’s a great opportunity for people to get rid of medications that have been sitting around … because of the national problem of adults, as well as kids, getting into medicine cabinets and taking opiates or controlled substance medications,” Birmingham

said, “but also to get rid of the stuff you’re not using, because a lot of the stuff expires and just sits there.” Sgt. Filbert Barrera, public information officer for UAPD, said that UAPD has collected over 70 pounds of unwanted

An Earth-sized planet was recently discovered orbiting in its star’s habitable zone, confirming for the first time that planets similar to Earth can exist close enough to their stars to house liquid water. Discovered using NASA’s Kepler Space Telescope, the planet joins Earth as the only other known planet orbiting its star in what astronomers refer to as the habitable zone. Based on the star’s luminosity, the habitable zone is the distance a planet would have to be from its star in order for the average temperature to be above the freezing

point of water and below the boiling point of water, allowing water to exist as a liquid, said Tom Fleming, a lecturer in the UA astronomy department. “We want to know the statistics of planets in the habitable zone so we have some idea about how common potentially life-bearing worlds may be,” said Josh Eisner, an associate professor in the UA astronomy department. “From that statistical point of view, it’s very interesting.” According to NASA, the planet, known as Kepler-186f, is located approximately 500 lightyears away in the Cygnus constellation. While the planet is similar in size to Earth, the star it orbits

ASUA Senate grants late funds to clubs acceptance and advocacy on campus,” Mazzella said. “It’s important that they get the same opportunity that we got in high school, and I think we should do everything we can do to help out Pride Alliance and LGBTQ Affairs.” After the $500 for Pride Alliance and its Second Chance Prom was approved, Brian Seastone, chief of the University of Arizona Police Department, thanked the senate for a great year. “What you have done this year is taken social issues, issues that are important for the whole university, and you’ve done a remarkable job with them,” Seastone said. “When I was sworn in, I said some of my best friends are because of ASUA; you guys are like family, and I hope you stay in touch and continue what you’re doing. You guys do make a difference. Thank you for what you’ve done here and being future leaders.” President Morgan Abraham also used his final President’s Privilege to close the meeting and express his gratitude toward the senate. “I just want to say how much of a pleasure it’s been this year,” Abraham said. “I had an amazing year, and I didn’t veto anything. When you think about how long it’s been, it’s crazy that it’s all over. I think we’ll stay in touch; I’ve made some amazing friends. Thank you so much for a great year.”

The ASUA Senate met to allocate more of its remaining budget for the year to requests from campus groups on Wednesday evening. The budget for the Associated Students of the University of Arizona currently sits at a little under $5,500, according to Treasurer and President-Elect Issac Ortega. The senate began by approving $2,400 to Emergency Medical Services for the purchase of two automated external defibrillators. “When it comes down to it, it’s a device that makes a life or death difference in a cardiac emergency,” said Brandon Murphy, chief of EMS and a communication senior. “They can change the outcome of events. It’s essential.” After allocating funds to EMS, the senate then approved the use of $202.95 for the purchase of a tablecloth with the ASUA Senate logo on it to be displayed during its meetings. Finally, ASUA Pride Alliance requested $500 from the senate to fund its upcoming event Second Chance Prom, which is taking place this Saturday. Because the Pride Alliance directors were unable to attend the meeting, Administrative Vice President Amanda Lester read a letter from the directors outlining what Second Chance Prom is and its importance. “Second Chance Prom is a free event open to the queer and allied community of the UA campus and Tucson … designed to recreate a high school prom

ensure that the event will remain free. It has gathered funds from groups such as Panhellenic Council, Campus Health Service, Residence Life and Corporate Partners. However, Corporate Partners was unable to provide the amount of money it did last year, and Pride Alliance fell $500 short of its budget.

To compensate for the unexpected gap in its budget, Pride Alliance requested a $500 contribution from the ASUA Senate. Sen. Michael Mazzella expressed his approval for this funding. “I think this is an amazing opportunity for senate

Many of the CESL students Lee works with have only been in the U.S. for a few months. “[CESL students] are somewhat sheltered, still,” Lee said. “This is a nice opportunity for them to get to know people and spread their culture.” Lee said that one change this year was that the women of CESL from Saudi Arabia had their own table, because men and women tend to be very separate in Saudi Arabian culture, and that the men’s voices sometimes overpower the women’s. Lee said he hoped that the Saudi Arabian women would feel more comfortable representing their contributions to Saudi Arabian culture this year. At the festival, which ran from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., students decorated tables with flags, foods and art from their native countries. Some played musical instruments, while others sang their countries’ national songs. Some countries, such as Saudi Arabia, were represented by dozens of students, while other countries, like Costa Rica, had just a few representatives. CESL student Talita Duarte was one of the representatives of Brazil. The country’s table featured video of Carnival, photographs and a memory

Xavier said the festival experience was very interesting, because most people she spoke with — both CESL and UA students — didn’t know where Angola was, so she felt that she was helping to educate her fellow classmates. “I feel that next time they hear someone say, ‘I am from Angola,’ they will remember us and say, ‘I know that place,’” Xavier said.

Local alliance gives aid to school in Mexico BY Jordan mcmahon Arizona Sonora News Service

For the first time, the Sky Island Alliance awarded its Land Stewardship Award to a school in Sonora, Mexico. What made this year’s April award ceremony unique, according to Sergio Avila, the Alliance’s program manager, was that the Land Stewardship Award wasn’t given to an individual who owns or manages land. It was instead given to a Mexican university, the Instituto Tecnológico Superior de Cananea. Avila said the school, founded in 1991, was chosen because it has shown a strong commitment to protecting the environment. In addition, its students traveled from the Sonoran school to Arizona to work on conservation projects. The school signed an agreement with the Alliance in August 2012 to work toward conservation goals and environmental education. More than 100 students and faculty from the school have participated in Alliance projects, Avila said, and many of these projects worked to restore natural habitats.

prescription medication over the past few years. Lynne Reyes, substance abuse and prevention counselor at Campus Health Service, said that in the first quarter of this year, the Tucson Police Department collected over 371 pounds of unwanted prescription medication. “The UA could add to that number with the … expired or unfinished medication,” Reyes said.

The school feels it has an obligation to make the environment more hospitable for future generations, said Guillermo Molina, head of the electromechanical and industrial engineering department at the school. Avila noted that the award is meant to bring attention to those trying to make a difference in the environment and work toward conservation, whether they are in Mexico or Arizona. “The environment doesn’t have borders,” Avila said. One of the goals of the Alliance is to build relationships between the U.S. and Mexico through conservation efforts, he added. Half of the area that the Alliance seeks to protect lies in the U.S. and the other half in Mexico. Throughout most of the Alliance’s 23 years, its focus has remained on the U.S. That dynamic changed as the members came realize that the wildlife and climate on both sides are the same, and the knowledge the group acquired in the U.S. could be applied to Mexico as well, according to Avila. Avila is the only Mexican national working for the Alliance, and he acknowledges the difficulties of working in two countries. Laws are quite different between the two, for example.

Reyes added that students should be aware and mindful of the potential consequences of having prescription medication while they live in close quarters, such as dorms, in case someone takes the medication and abuses it. “Abuse of prescription medication is on the uprise,” Barrera said. “This helps keep unused medication out of cabinets, where there can be a temptation to use them.” Keith Boesen, director of the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center, said that the take-back event is incredibly

However, the people are essentially the same, he said. People from both the U.S. and Mexico share a closeness to the environment, he added. Currently, the Alliance is primarily concerned with land restoration. Much of its work focuses on planting native trees, creating structures to prevent erosion, and monitoring springs. Additionally, Alliance members take inventory of plants and animals in areas that scientists have not previously explored, Avila said. For the last four years, the Alliance has

important for the community. “This is so critical [because] the number one cause of accidental death in Arizona is poisoning and drug overdose,” Boesen said. Boesen added that there is no mechanism for unwanted medication to go back “upstream.” “Once [doctors] give you the medicine, you go home with this idea that once you go home you’ll take everything,” Boesen said. “Well, it turns out that a lot of people don’t take everything. It doesn’t go back to the pharmacy because they can’t take it back, it doesn’t go back to

Over the course of the program’s existence, Alliance members and accompanying scientists have discovered four new species, including a scorpion, a dragonfly and cockroach, Avila said. “Regardless of their differences, their careers, their diplomas, they come together in the name of the environment,” Avila said. “It’s creating a very positive story about the environment concerning the two countries.”

the doctors because they can’t take it back, so what happens [to the medicine] is that it usually just ends up piling up in people’s medicine cabinets.” If students are interested in recycling and sustaining a safe environment, Reyes said, they should properly dispose of unwanted prescription medication rather than flush it into the water system. In case people aren’t able to make the event, Barrera said that the Drug Enforcement Administration, which is holding its national prescription drug take-back day this Saturday as

If people are free, Barrera said that he wants as many people to attend as possible. “We hope that people will take advantage of this opportunity to rid the community and help do their part of disposing medication that could be misused,” Barrera said.

Crusade against religious rhetoric BY Eric Klump

The Daily Wildcat

ill Maher is an asshole. Mike Huckabee is, too. Christopher Hitchens was an asshole, just as Ken Hamm, Richard Dawkins and Glenn Beck are. Why are they assholes? For the same reason: their views on the debate of religion versus atheism and agnosticism. I don’t call them assholes because of their beliefs. Christopher Hitchens wasn’t an asshole for being an atheist, and Ken Hamm isn’t an asshole for being a devout Christian. They’re assholes because they shout out messages of blanket hostility at the other side of the debate. “If every trace of any single religion were wiped out and nothing were passed on, it would never be created exactly that way again,” writes magician Penn Jillette, an atheist who has written numerous books on the topic of the debate. “There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again.” Whether Hitchens or the other pundits are right or wrong in any capacity is a null point. Instead, what matters is that they feel that they are right, and, therefore, no other viewpoint can be correct. Media members like me who want to comment on the issue often do no better, just playing into and spreading the word of an asshole, creating more division and furthering the adversarial nature of relations between religion and atheism. Religion wasn’t a big part of my formative years. I believe I only went to church once, and I never really believed in a god that looked vaguely like Jeff Bridges in “Tron.” However, I was always instilled with a respect for the beliefs of others, no matter what they were, as long as the believers respected you as well. This respect for one another’s beliefs appears gone from our society’s discussions of religious views. I find myself asking why these groups can’t coexist and respect each other even though they disagree. It’s no thanks to the media’s decision to give so much airtime to those who view religion as an all or nothing battle. In September of last year, Fox News personality Dana Perino caused some controversy when she said that atheists should leave the country. “If these people really don’t like it, they don’t have to live here,” Perino said on air, discussing a lawsuit brought by the American Humanist Association. On the other side, Maher criticized religion on his show “Real Time with Bill Maher” on March 14 when he discussed the Bible movie “Noah.” “You know conservatives are always going on about how Americans are losing their morality,” Maher said. “Well, maybe it’s because you worship a guy who drowns babies.” Both of these quotes are examples of how the media more often than not portrays these discussions as battles between religion and atheism, even using language like the “war on religion” to keep the idea of conflict in the minds of those in the audience. Instead of playing into the rhetoric of those who make religion and atheism a two-sided debate, the media should aim to expand the discussion with those who don’t view this as a two-sided issue. For example, a piece in The Guardian recently discussed astronomer Martin Rees, who has pushed for atheists to stop attacking and move toward a peaceful coexistence with mainstream religious groups. “We should all oppose — as [Charles] Darwin did — views manifestly in conflict with the evidence, such as creationism … but we shouldn’t set up this debate as ‘religion versus science,’” Rees said. “Instead, we should strive for peaceful coexistence with at least the less dogmatic strands of mainstream religions, which number many excellent scientists among their adherents.” The other side — the religious — should also attempt a peaceful coexistence, an acceptance of the majority of atheists and agnostics who aren’t trying to remove religion from our world, and those like me who respect religion though they don’t believe in it. In September, Pope Francis told atheists to “abide by their own conscience.” His statement has since been edited; however, it’s still a small, positive step toward coexistence. Coverage of the assholes is asinine because we already know how they feel about religion. We know Maher will attack religion, and we know that Fox News will attack atheism. But what about them is newsworthy, especially when compared to those who make the debate more broad and open and aren’t … well, assholes? — Eric Klump is a journalism senior. Follow him @ericklump

Hit the floor

University of Arizona Police Department officers were called to investigate possible sexual activity at the Arizona Stadium Laboratory of Tree-Ring Research on Monday. An employee of the lab said she was walking to the water cooler when she saw two people lying on the concrete near the door to her office. She called UAPD, and two officers responded. Upon arrival, officers saw two figures jump up quickly. As the officers approached they saw the individuals putting their belts back on. They found two minors, one male and one female. When questioned, the female said that she and the man were “boyfriend and girlfriend,” and that they had come to the Tree Ring Laboratory to “hang out” and “make out,” but said they had no intention to have sex. The minors’ parents were contacted and agreed to pick up their children at the stadium. The minors were given a trespassing warning and were released to their parents.

Come to the dark side...

Shorts stop

UAPD responded to a report of shoplifting at the UofA Bookstore on Monday. A bookstore employee observed a man in his 30s with long gray hair enter the store and approach a clothing display. The man picked up a pair of navy blue shorts with an “A” on them and turned away from the employee. According to the witness, the man then put the shorts under his shirt and walked quickly toward the exit. The employee instructed the man to stop several times, but the man did not respond and hurried outside. UAPD was unable to make contact with the alleged shoplifter or observe him on surveillance video. The employee said he would be able to make a positive identification if the man was apprehended.

MUCH Easier than Finance 101!

Two UA students were diverted to the Dean of Students Office for minor in possession of alcohol on Saturday. A UAPD officer on patrol observed two young men exiting Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, one of whom was holding a clear glass bottle. Once he realized he was being watched by police, the young man holding the bottle tried to hide it behind his back, tucking it into the back of his pants. The other young man lost his balance and fell over the retaining wall along the sidewalk. Officers approached the young men. The one holding the bottle relinquished it to officers, identifying it as peach vodka. Officers said that both young men were polite and cooperative, if a little unstable on their feet. The two, who were not members of the fraternity, were released and diverted to the Dean of Students Office, and the bottle was disposed of by police.

JUNIOR HALLIE WILSON smashes a four-run home run in the third inning as the Wildcats thrashed the New Mexico State Aggies 13-3 in the first game of a doubleheader at Hillenbrand Stadium on Wednesday. So far, Arizona is 24-0 at home this season.

BY ROBERTO PAYNE The Daily Wildcat

A mid-week home doubleheader proved to be exactly what the Arizona softball team needed after 10 days of rest. The Wildcats defeated the New Mexico State Aggies 13-3 in five innings in the first game and 13-7 in the second of the doubleheader at Hillenbrand Stadium. “We came out today and saw the wind blowing out, so I knew it could be a high-scoring game, and it was,” Arizona head coach Mike Candrea said. “I was very pleased with the way we swung the bat.” The two home wins extend Arizona’s undefeated home record to 24-0 and marked the last two nonconference games of the regular season. Despite the continued explosive offensive performance from Arizona (36-9, 9-6), the story of the day was senior utility player Alex Lavine’s return from injury. Lavine tore the ACL in her left knee on March 4 on a routine fly ball, and the team announced two days later she would be out for the season. However, Lavine surprised the crowd at Hillenbrand Stadium and jump-started her teammates by suiting up for the doubleheader. “Alex [Lavine] is such a leader on this team in

Oregon’s pitching staff took a huge blow Monday as its standout freshman lefty Matt Krook (2-1, 1.79 ERA) underwent Tommy John surgery on Tuesday and will miss the remainder of the season. But the Ducks have arguably the most momentum in the Pac-12, and are currently on a nine-game win streak.

SAND VOLLEYBALL

Recruits take program to new heights BY TYLER KECKEISEN The Daily Wildcat

Arizona sand volleyball announced Tuesday that it is adding two tall premier recruits to its roster next season, Olivia Macdonald and Hailey Devlin. Macdonald and Devlin both stand at or over 6 feet tall and are joining an Arizona program that currently has 14 girls on the roster, only five of whom are at or over 6 feet tall. Macdonald is a native of Piopio, New Zealand, and is the first international recruit in program history. She is a 6-foot net player who has had a lot of experience, having earned MVP honors twice on the national level. “Olivia will be a great addition to our everexpanding sand volleyball team,” head coach Steve Walker said in a press release on Tuesday. “She’s well-traveled for her age and brings a good deal of international-level experience to the roster.” Macdonald’s most notable international experience in the sand game was when she represented New Zealand at the under-19 World Beach Volleyball Championships last summer in Portugal. “She was part of a burgeoning national team program in New Zealand that is very much on the rise,” Walker said, “and the level

of competition she was able to face worldwide will serve her well as she transitions to the collegiate game.” Devlin is a domestic recruit from the San Diego area. She stands at 6-foot-2 and was an All-CIF first-team selection and a first-team allconference selection as a senior attending Scripps Ranch High School. She was secondteam All-San Diego Section selection as well. “Hailey will be a terrific addition to the team, as she is a player with the rare blend of both length and skill,” Walker said. “On the hardwood, Hailey plays in what is considered the most competitive region of volleyball in the country, and her team relies on her to play every phase of the game.” Like Macdonald, Devlin has had experience in the sand game, as she played for the USA Junior National Beach Team. “She really started to find her timing and rhythm as a player on the beach this past spring and had [an] outstanding summer of 2013, capping it off with a medal in the gold bracket of the USA High Performance Championships in July,” Walker said.

9) Washington State (17-19, 7-8)

Swept out of town by Oregon, Washington State fell back below .500. WSU’s athletic director should try to schedule more games against Gonzaga for next season.

6) ASU (21-16, 10-8)

The Sun Devils are looking a lot more like pretenders than contenders after dropping a three-game series to Stanford. A weekend series against Arizona is just what the doctor ordered for ASU to stay alive in the playoff hunt.

7) Stanford (15-17, 6-9)

Among the Pac-12 teams playing out the season for pride at this point, Stanford looks to be the best of them. The Cardinal’s schedule for the rest of April should be easy enough for it to enter May above .500.

10) Arizona (17-23, 6-12)

Just two years ago, this program was preparing for a national title run. Now, it’s arguably the worst in the Pac12. However, winning the upcoming weekend series against ASU to capture the baseball point for the Territorial Cup would make the season a lot less painful for the Wildcats.

HEAD COACH STEVE WALKER leaves the sandpit after Arizona’s 5-0 win against Tulane during the Wildcat Spring Challenge at the Arizona Sand Volleyball Courts on March 15. On Tuesday, the Wildcats added two recruits who are over 6 feet tall.

LAVINE

ran fluidly. “She works so darn hard, and it’s fun to see her back in uniform, and hopefully we’ll continue to make some progress,” Arizona head coach Mike Candrea said. “You just tell her she can’t do something and she will. If there’s anyone that can come back, I knew it would be her.” Candrea said he wants to wait and see how much progress she makes but that just having her presence in the dugout is crucial for the team. Arizona has nine remaining games, with six of those coming at home, and it will need all the help it can get with tough series against Washington and Oregon looming.

Adding Lavine to the mix could be the kick-starter the Wildcats need to finish the regular season strong and prepare for postseason play. Lavine said she doesn’t have any playing limitations, and she’s willing to do anything to help the team win. Her teammates said they’re excited to have Lavine back and that it’s an inspiration to have her in the dugout so soon after injury. “She’s been pushing really hard to get back on the field,” sophomore infielder Lauren Young said. “It’s pretty amazing what she’s been doing. … It’s just incredible.”

Abolishing the myth of unhealthy Mexican food BY austin mcevoy El Independiente

When people think of Mexican food, they might imagine a greasy mountain of cheddar cheese and refried beans piled high atop a fried tortilla. However, that isn’t real Mexican food at all. “The traditional Mexican menu is far from being unhealthy,” said Diana Teran-Moreno, the owner of Mexico in Season, a healthconscious Mexican restaurant with vegan and vegetarian options that opened December 2013 in south Tucson. “The chimichanga doesn’t even exist in Mexico.” Raised in Sonora, Mexico, Teran-Moreno’s menu features authentic Mexican dishes, from cactus stir fry to sizzling fajitas. She said it is unfortunate that younger generations aren’t familiar with the healthier, more traditional fare. The first Mexican restaurant in Tucson to identify itself as healthconscious was El Saguarito, founded by Albert and Blanca Vasquez in 1989. Trademarked as “the healthy Mexican alternative,” El Saguarito’s menu includes gluten-free, vegan and “heart friendly” dishes. “We try to keep the authenticity of the food while also trying to make it as healthy as possible,” Albert Vasquez said. “For example, we took out the lard from all the recipes to minimize the fat.” Healthy Mexican dishes can also be made at home. TeranMoreno and Vasquez offer the following tips and tricks for cooking healthy Mexican food in your own kitchen without sacrificing flavor.

Transform the tortilla

Tortillas made with lard are not only loaded with calories but leave many people feeling bloated and uncomfortable. At El Saguarito, all tortillas are made with canola oil, which is a lighter source of fat with a “hint of nutty flavor,” Vasquez said. Another replaceable ingredient in the standard tortilla is flour, which is a source of refined carbohydrates. This kind of carbohydrate is easily broken down by the body into its sugar monomers, providing quick energy. However, when eaten in excess without exercise, the unused energy is stored in the body as fat. Eating too many of these simple carbohydrates can also lead to Type 2 diabetes. Teran-Moreno

While this technique is good for “Its habitable zone is by space-bound telescopes, the large definition going to be closer to telescopes on Earth use the radial its star because it isn’t as hot or velocity technique to measure the as bright a star,” Fleming said. “In shift in spectral lines from a star order to be warm enough so that brought about by the presence of water melts but not too hot so that a planet. water boils, you need to be closer Along with these detection to the star.” methods, astronomers at the UA Because of this closer proximity are investigating direct imaging to its star, Kepler-186f orbits its sun techniques, which specialize in once every 130 days, as compared finding exoplanets to the 365-day that have more orbit of Earth. distant orbits from Now we can But while their star.

A pot of seasoned chicken cooks on a stove top in El Saguarito’s kitchen. The restaurant was the first in Tucson to identify itself as health-conscious Mexican fare.

recommends using corn or whole wheat, which contain complex carbohydrates that take longer for the body to break down, resulting in a more sustained supply of energy. “I especially like the wholewheat tortillas,” said customer Christina Barnum, who studies nutrition at the UA. “I hope more places with healthy options like this pop up in the area.”

Eliminate red meat

Red meat is found in many popular Mexican dishes, like carne asada tacos or ground beef burritos. However, in addition to being high in saturated fat, red meat also contains L-carnitine, an amino acid that gut bacteria converts to trimethylamine-Noxide, which wreaks havoc in the body and can lead to clogged arteries, according to a 2013 study published in the journal Nature Medicine. For these reasons, Vasquez opts for chicken or fish in lieu of red meat. Even his Sonoran hot dogs are made with turkey meat rather than beef.

Add veggies

Vegetables are rich in nutrients and fill you up without adding too many calories to an entrée. Growing up in Mexico, TeranMoreno said vegetables were a big part of her diet, and they don’t have to be boring. “We don’t miss out on flavor here, ever,” she said. “You are never cheated.” Her menu features vegetarianfriendly dishes like red chili

potatoes and onion stir fry. The most popular dish is her calabazitas, which she makes with zucchinis, tomatoes, onions, poblano peppers and corn. Vegetables like lettuce can also be used in place of starchy carbohydrates, such as those found in tortillas.

Limit sugar

Almost twice as many Hispanics are diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes each year compared to non-Hispanic Caucasians, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The culprit? Sugar. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body’s cells become resistant to the hormone insulin, which is necessary for transporting sugar from the blood to body’s cells. For this reason, people with highsugar diets are more at risk for developing the disease. You can limit your sugar intake with simple substitutions, like making margaritas with silver tequila instead of gold, Vasquez said. The amount of sugar in nonalcoholic drinks can also be reduced by using fruit as a natural sweetener instead of sugar additives, Teran-Moreno said. Because many members of her own family have diabetes, Teran-Moreno does not sell any soft drinks at her restaurant, only water and homemade juices. One of her most popular juices is a watermelon concoction made with lime and cucumber. “I truly believe that you are what you eat,” she said. “Bad food can really hurt people.”

Astronomers recently discovered an Earth-like planet orbiting within the habitable zone of its star. The findings are significant because the planet may house liquid water, which many scientists believe is necessary for life to form.
