MU researchers work with The Mark on Fifth Street to reduce dining hall waste
Two professors and a doctoral student have been doing research on food thrown away at dining halls and the toll it takes on the environment. They found that plant-based foods have a lower environmental cost than animal-based foods. The researchers say solutions for reducing waste include providing smaller plates in dining halls and posting signs which encourage students to take only as much food as they plan to eat. They’re only working with The Mark right now, but hope to expand to all the dining halls.

Tuesday, November 1, 2016 It’s finally Nov. 1, but it feels like June 1. If you kept your shorts out, you’re lucky because the high will be 81 degrees. There will be a little reprieve from the heat because the low will be 64 degrees.
A new president is coming to the MU System...
Although the official announcement is taking place Wednesday morning in Jefferson City, the new president is Mun Y. Choi, the provost of the University of Connecticut, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The position has been filled by interim President Mike Middleton since former President Tim Wolfe resigned amid protests in November 2015. Choi would be the UM System’s first Asian president.
Choi is no stranger to higher education
Unlike the past two system presidents, Choi has a history working in higher education. Before his time as provost at UConn, Choi was the dean of engineering and a professor of mechanical engineering. He worked at the University of Illinois and Drexel University as a professor and was also the the department head of mechanical engineering and associate dean for research at Drexel. Wolfe and Gary Forsee, the past two presidents, both had a business background.
Here's why it's important
Last year, Mizzou and the UM System made headlines when student activist group Concerned Student 1950 called for Wolfe’s resignation. The group published a list of demands, including Wolfe’s resignation. Graduate student Jonathan Butler went on a hunger strike, and the football team began a boycott of all football-related activities, both lasting until Wolfe left his position. Recap: Chicago had a good night. The Bears won 20-10 against the Vikings. The Bulls won 118-88 against the Nets.
What to Watch: Game 6 of the World Series will be at 7:08 p.m. This could be the deciding game as the Indians currently lead the series 3-2. The Lakers play the Pacers at 6 p.m.

World Series is coming to an end Game 7 of the World Series is taking place tonight. The Cubs, after winning two elimination games, take on the Indians in Cleveland. The Indians will have the home field advantage which served them well in Game 1 but will it be enough to bring them home the crown? The two longest World Series droughts are at stake tonight, and only one will end.

Pregnancy scares are normal and common
If you have ever been sexually active, you might know the terrifying feeling that you could be pregnant when you were not expecting it — a pregnancy scare. Some are quite minor: You might have been having weird stomach aches or think your breasts have changed. Even if you haven’t had sex, you can still be convinced that you’re the next Virgin Mary.
But sometimes, it's more real. You had a condom break. You messed up on your birth control pill. You know that there was a mistake and all you can do is wait in agony, wondering what fate is waiting for you when your period is supposed to come.
Read full column here.
What MOVE recommends... Recap: The Cubs beat the Indians 9-3 in Game 6 of the World Series.

Thursday, November 3, 2016 Today is going to start off cloudy and end sunny, with a high of 69 degrees and a low of 48. It’ll be cooler than the past few days, but it seems to be the perfect Thursday.
A historic night in the world of sports
The Cubs and the Indians faced off in Game 7 of the World Series, starting the night as the two MLB teams with the longest droughts without a World Series win. The Cubs hadn’t won since 1908, and the Indians haven’t won since 1948. The teams arrived at Game 7 after the Cubs won two games in a row, overcoming the Indians’ 3-1 lead.
The night started off strong Dexter Fowler was the first to bat for the Cubs and hit a lead-off home run on the fourth pitch, giving the Cubs the lead 1-0. In the third inning, the Indians struck back with Carlos Santana hitting an RBI single to tie the game. The very next inning, the Cubs’ bats came alive, giving the Cubs a 3-1 lead. By the time it got into the eighth inning, the Cubs had brought the score up to 6-3.
A two-run homer brought the Indians back, but the Cubs prevailed in the end
The game remained tied after nine innings. Heading into extra innings, the game had to be delayed because of rain. After the delay, the Cubs came out strong, scoring two runs to go up 8-6. The Indians scored one more time that inning off of a solo homer by Rajai Davis. Later, the Indians hit a grounder to Kris Bryant, who threw the final out of the game to first baseman Anthony Rizzo to break the 108-year curse for the Cubs. Diwali, 7-8:30 p.m. @ Memorial Union, Benton Bingham

Friday, November 4, 2016 Say hello to sunshine this morning and a high of 68. It will stay relatively nice all day, with the low being a tolerable 47. Enjoy the sun, because tomorrow another cloudy day rolls around.
Four students have mumps, and five are still being tested Four MU students have recently contracted mumps, and five more students are being tested for the disease. The testing could take up two weeks, and those who are already infected were treated, advised to stay home and told to skip class. All four of the students who contracted it live off campus. There has been a recent rise of mumps cases, with twice as many cases reported in the U.S. this year than in 2015. One case was reported in North-Center Hall on campus in April, and Boone County has seen 20 cases in the past five years.
Cancer Research Center targets tumors using salmonella A modified strain of salmonella that can be used to target and infiltrate cancerous tumors was discovered by researchers at the Cancer Research Center of Columbia. This bacteria can be designed to act as a cargo vehicle that will carry cancer-fighting drugs into tumors to help destroy them. This particular method would make chemotherapy more effective and would cause less severe side effects because the salmonella cargo- vehicle isn’t likely to spread and destroy healthy tissue.
The new UM System president will get paid $530,000 Mun Choi was named as the new system president Wednesday, and his salary and benefits were revealed in a contract provided by the UM System on Thursday. At MU, he will be paid $530,000 annually, along with benefits, a car and a house in Columbia. This will be receiving a significant raise from his job as the provost of the University of Connecticut, where he made $409,958 a year.

What MOVE recommends...
Because Election Day is just around the corner, MOVE Magazine tells us what to do and what not to do at the polls on the day America decides its fate. Don’t take selfies with your ballot — it’s illegal, and so is wearing politically biased clothing. Also, just like in class, no cell phones, and the teachers can’t explain the test (i.e. election judges can’t give more information about any items on the ballot). Election day is Tuesday, Nov. 8, so get out there and perform your civic duty!
Recap: Coming off the World Series high, we’re making the switch to other sports. In basketball, the Cavaliers beat the Celtics 128-122 and the Warriors beat the Thunder 122-96.
What to Watch: The Knicks play the Bulls at 7 p.m. and the Warriors play the Lakers at 9:30 p.m. both play on ESPN.

From: The Maneater and MOVE Magazine
In illnesses: Michael Buble said on his Facebook page yesterday that his son, Noah, has been diagnosed with cancer. He wrote, “We are devastated about the recent cancer diagnosis of our oldest son Noah who is currently undergoing treatment in the US. We have always been very vocal about the importance of family and the love we have for our children. Luisana and I have put our careers on hold in order to devote all our time and attention to helping Noah get well. At this difficult time, we ask only for your prayers and respect for our privacy. We have a long journey in front of us and hope that with the support of family, friends and fans around the world, we will win this battle, God willing.”
In music: The Hamilton Mixtape is finally available for preorder. It will feature Jimmy Fallon and The Roots, Common and Ingrid Michaelson, Sia, Miguel and Queen Latifah and a ton of other popular artists. Lin-Manuel Miranda, the creator of Hamilton, said that that he has ”been SITTING ON SO MANY SECRETS. Each artist on here is a dream come true.” Two singles have been released on Spotify early: “My Shot” by The Roots featuring Busta Rhymes, Joell Oritz, and Nate Ruess of fun and “Quiet Uptown” by Kelly Clarkson.
If you want to cheer on Hillary or Donald (or Gary or Jill)
The Blue Note is hosting an election watch party at 7 p.m. on Tuesday. They’ll have election-themed cocktails like Democracy Bombs and Patriot Shots while the election results come in on the big screen. This event will be presented by the Boone County Democrats.
Ragtag Cinema is hosting its own version of an election night watch party at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. It’ll feature professors from MU’s Kinder Institute to discuss important topics surrounding the election and American democracy as a whole. They’ll also have music from Hitt Records and beer from Uprise Bakery and Logboat Brewery.
If you don’t feel like watching the election results roll in on Tuesday night but still want to go out downtown, pay $5 to see Kevin Greenspon, Tippy, and Lifestyles with Steph & Em at Cafe Berlin. Greenspon is an LA-based musician who’s known for creating techno rhythms with “multiple video projectors, lights, cameras and microphones that react to each other,” according to his website. If you like Netflix: The streaming website released the third season of Black Mirror on Oct. 21, and if you haven’t watched it yet, you really should. The show is a British series that is fairly dark, but has elements of satire. The show is often called a more modern The Twilight Zone, and it deals with the ways in which technology affects the lives of people everywhere. Plus, Stephen King likes it, so you will too.
If you like cooking: Nothing says Saturday night like Greek-style feta burgers. You can make this by taking ground beef and mixing in feta. To add in some extra flavor, mix together mayonnaise, basil and garlic and heat it up to make a simple great sauce.
If you like wine: A Zinfandel or a Malbec would work great with the burgers. Every week is a week that you should treat yourself.
For during this week’s election, if you want something a bit stronger, try these funny election cocktails:
For a Donald Trump-themed drink:
2 oz vodka .5 oz Goldschläger gold-leaf cinnamon schnapps Orange juice Garnish: Orange wheel and cotton candy
Pour the vodka and Goldschläger into an ice-filled Collins glass, and top with the orange juice. Garnish with an orange wheel and big puff of cotton candy.
For a Hillary Clinton-themed drink:
2.5 oz gin 1.5 oz freshly squeezed lemon juice .5 oz peach liqueur .5 oz honey Soda water Garnish: Lemon wheel Pour all of the ingredients except the soda water into an ice-filled Collins glass, stir, and top with the soda water. Garnish with a lemon wheel.
For a little Saturday morning read…
It's no myth that technology has taken over our lives. Nowadays, you can’t go anywhere without seeing people staring at their phones, earbuds in, swiping away, wrapped up in their own little world. Children are practically born with iPads in their hands.
Anna Lindell, a doctoral candidate in developmental psychology at MU, said research shows that the more kinds of technology you use to communicate with someone, the higher quality that relationship will be.
"With so many communication options available to millennials, it really is starting to become clear that mobile devices in particular are becoming a necessary tool for keeping our close relationships intact and healthy,” Lindell said in an email.
No generation before this one has dealt with the issues or benefits of technology in their single life or romantic one (hence the novel millennial dating and relationship trends). In simpler times, relationships were maintained through landline telephones and handwritten sentiments, lacking efficiency and constant connection.
In the future, Lindell believes face-to-face interaction will play an increasingly unnecessary role in close relationships, and the very nature of our relationships will evolve in tandem with technological advancements and innovation.
“I don't think we are going to see fewer close relationships form between people, because as a species humans are inherently social creatures,” Lindell said. “Families who are spread out across the country will be able to remain close with one another, when this would have been impossible in the past, and we will be able to interact with others in other countries with more ease than ever before.” Copyright © 2016 MOVE Magazine, All rights reserved.

From The Maneater Sports Desk, everything you need to know about the week in sports, at Mizzou and beyond.
In this week’s newsletter: winners and losers from the loss to South Carolina, a not-so- bold Heisman prediction, and an update on the Dallas Cowboys’ “quarterback controversy.” Coach Barry Odom on the sideline during the Louisiana State game. (Photo by Jessi Dodge)
Barry Odom still hasn’t won an SEC football game as head coach The Missouri football team fell to 2-7 yesterday with a loss at South Carolina. With a tough end-of- season schedule, the Tigers seem destined to finish at the very bottom of the SEC. More on that in a later section, though.
The women’s soccer team is holding its breath to make the tournament After a gut-wrenching 3-3 penalty kick loss to Florida in the first round of the SEC tournament, the Tigers have nothing left to do but wait to see if they’ll get into the NCAA tournament. Similarly to basketball, the NCAA takes 64 teams to the big dance, and Missouri has a great shot. The team’s regular-season record is 11-6-2, and four of those losses came against ranked teams. Selection for the tournament happens on Monday.

The North Carolina native is already on the men’s national team and has posted Instagram pictures with Ryan Lochte, but the world championships in Canada this December could be his big break.

Today: Volleyball looks to continue its dominance at No. 18 Kentucky at 11 a.m. on the SEC Network.
Monday: Women’s basketball hosts an exhibition game against Truman State at 7 p.m.
Thursday: Swimming hosts Georgia.
Friday: Women’s basketball hosts Abilene Christian at 7 p.m. Cross-country is in Iowa for their NCAA Regional.
Saturday: Football hosts Vanderbilt, which could be their last chance for an SEC win, at 2:30 p.m.
Missouri football traveled to Columbia, South Carolina, and fell to the Gamecocks 31-21 on Saturday.
The Tigers will return to Columbia, Missouri, still without an Southeastern Conference victory. Here are the winners and losers from the game by Nick Kelly:
Winner: The running game The Missouri offense sputtered throughout the game, but the the running backs often found success against South Carolina.
Ish Witter and Damarea Crockett combined for 162 yards on 14 carries for two touchdowns. The offensive line, which has often struggled to run block this season, opened holes that Witter and Crockett easily ran through.
Defensive tackle Josh Augusta even got in on the running game’s success, rushing for a first down on fourth and short.
Loser: Mizzou's secondary At times, Missouri’s secondary has been a bright spot for a struggling defense this season. That was not the case on Saturday.
The Tigers’ corners struggled to stop the Gamecocks’ passing attack, allowing Bentley, a freshman, to complete 22-28 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns. Missouri’s failures to break up 50-50 passes on third downs made the biggest difference in the game. Winner: Charles Harris and the Missouri pass rush This past week, coach Barry Odom talked frequently about the Missouri defense going back to its defensive scheme from last season. It showed on Saturday.
The vaunted pass rush of previous years returned against South Carolina. The rush was led by Charles Harris, who sacked South Carolina quarterback Jake Bentley twice and registered two tackles for loss. Brandon Lee and Cam Hilton also registered sacks.
Loser: Kickers If Missouri could find a middle ground between Tucker McCann and Turner Adams, it would be set at kicker.
McCann went wide right and Adams went wide left on the Tigers’ two field-goal attempts on Saturday. Those two missed field goals would have brought Missouri within four, had the Tigers converted.
Winner: Tight ends Sean Culkin and Kendall Blanton presented matchup problems for South Carolina, and Missouri exploited them.
The two tight ends combined for 84 yards on six catches and a touchdown that Blanton caught. It was another highlight-reel worthy catch by Blanton, who has three touchdowns in 2016.
Texas A&M’s playoff hopes took a big hit in loss at Mississippi State: The biggest surprise on Tuesday when the College Football Playoff Rankings were released was Texas A&M at No. 4. The fans questioning that ranking got validation today, as Mississippi State upset the Aggies 35-28 and led 28-7 in the 2nd quarter. (Get a peek into what the playoff committee is thinking here) Lamar Jackson is your 2016 Heisman: This was probably already decided, but Jackson once again showed why he deserved to hold up the trophy in New York this year. Jackson led Louisville to a 52-7 road win over Boston College with 231 passing yards, 185 rushing yards and seven total touchdowns. (Highlights from ESPN) Ohio State continues its playoff push: In a matchup of top 10 teams against Nebraska, Ohio State proved victorious, and it wasn’t even close. Ohio State dominated in all facets of the game, winning 62-3, and it’s looking more and more likely that Ohio State-Michigan will not only be for the Big Ten Championship but for a playoff spot as well. (Highlights) Alabama reigns supreme in clash with LSU: In a defensive battle, Alabama defeated LSU 10-0. It was scoreless through three quarters, but Jalen Hurts gave the Crimson Tide enough offense to get the win. Alabama still has Auburn on their schedule, but as the saying goes, there are three certainties in life: “death, taxes and Alabama representing the West in Atlanta.” (Highlights)
— Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has started practicing again as he slowly returns from a back fracture. Wide receiver Dez Bryant said Romo “looked like a little missile.” Rookie Dak Prescott has led the Cowboys to a 6-1 record so far, and we’re still a few weeks out from the big Prescott v. Romo decision. (CBS Sports)
