I'm teaching Atmospheric Thermodynamics and Engineer- ing Design. I like both sections, but this is the first time I'm teaching Atmospheric Thermo- dynamics. You won the Arizona Gov- ernor's Innovator of the Year award in 2007 and 2008 for helping the scientists who found water on Mars. What was it like to play a role in this discovery? It was completely unexpected. I thought that it was possible, I knew that because of my under- standing of thermodynamics. No one was thinking about that. The goal of the Phoenix mission was to go there and sample the ice, not to look for water. Your page on the College of Engineering website includes the quote, "The truth never triumphs, their opponents die." Why did you pick this quote? Because you make progress in science. People think that it's really straightforward, you come up with a new theory and everyone's going to accept it, but people in all sciences have a lot of baggage - they don't change their mind very easily. The way things change in science is by new people coming into science with new ideas, the newest idea being better, and the old ones changing their minds. What's your favoritenmovie? The Star Wars series. How do you like the current weather in Michigan? More than Mars. I like the change - today was a beautiful day with some snow and some sun. I wish the winter were a bit shorter, I like the seasons. - STEVE ZOSKI 734-418-4115opt.3 Corrections corrections@michigandaily.com Arts Section arts@michigandaily.com Sports Section sports@michigandaily.com Display Sales display@michigandaily.com Online Sales Finantm onlineads@michigandaily.com ian~ihgsat~o news@michigandaily.com Letterstothe Editor tothedaily@michigandaily.com Editorial Page opinion@michigandaily.com Photography Section photo@michigandaily.com Classified Sales classified@michigandaily.com fAnance((m ichigandaily.com Courtesy of College of Engineering Renno is an Engineering professor in the Department of Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences CRIME NOTES Off the hinges WHERE: Ruthven Muse- um WHEN: Tuesday at about 3:10 p.m. WHAT: The screws and plate of a door lock were removed sometime between Dec. 22 and Dec.'26, Univer- sity Police reported.

HURON AND WASHINGTON) DOWNTOWN ANN ARBOR WWW.KAIGARDEN.COM The winning bidder, Kiyoshi Kimura, president of Kiyomura Co., a sushi restaurant chain, said he wanted to "liven up Japan" and help it recover from last year's devastating tsunami and economic stagnation, according to media reports. The tuna was caught off Oma, in Aomori prefecture and just north of the coast that was bat- tered by the March 11 tsunami. Bluefin tuna is prized for its tender red meat. The best slices of fatty bluefin - called "o-toro" here - can sell for 2,000 yen ($24) per piece at tony Tokyo sushi bars. Beamingontelevision, Kimu- ra said he wanted to keep the fish in Japan "rather than let it get taken overseas." Last year's bid winners were Hong Kong entrepreneur Ricky Cheng, who runs the Hong Kong-based chain Itamae Sushi, and an upscale Japanese restau- rant in Tokyo's Ginza district. Japanese eat 80 percent of the Atlantic and Pacific bluefins caught - the most sought-after by sushi lovers. Japanese fish- ermen, however, face growing calls for tighter fishing rules amid declining tuna stocks worldwide. FOLLOW OUR NEW TWITTER ACCOU NTS @TheStatementMag @MichDailyDesign c a t Bepablican Presidential candidate, former Utah ov. Jon Huntsman gestures daring a campaign stop in Manchester, N.H. yesterday. Huntsman: Republican race is wide open in Iowa's wake Candidate "smells victory" despite skipping Iowa MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) - Former Utah Gov. Jon Hunts- man rallied campaign volunteers yesterday by saying he can smell success in New Hampshire - and by showing off his presiden- tial campaign's first television ad. The ad features Huntsman declaring, "We are getting screwed as Americans." The spot, which goes on to offer him as a strong leader, will be airing in New Hampshire ahead of the state's Jan. 10 primary. The cam- paign said the ad buy is at least $100,000. Previewing the ad at Hunts- man's Manchester headquarters, campaign manager Matt David said the nation's first primary will help Huntsman exceed expectations here and in South Carolina and push him onward to Florida. David predicted Florida will be a turning point in Huntsman's campaign. Huntsman, who skipped the Iowa caucuses and is count- ing on a strong showing in New Hampshire to remain in the race, spent Wednesday joining sign- waving supporters in Concord and speaking to workers at sev- eral businesses. His audiences at both were more polite than enthusiastic, but Huntsman was buoyant when surrounded by his campaign volunteers. "Ladies and gentlemen, I can smell success," he said, then added a new twist to his stan- dard joke about a food item he considers a New Hampshire favorite. "I'm not going to say it smells like a lobster roll, but I can sense a little NH in it." Earlier in the day, Huntsman toured a company that makes firefighting suits, where he tout- ed one of his key endorsements and dismissed front-runner Mitt Romney's latest catch. Joining Huntsman at Globe Manufacturing was former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge, who noticed the Romney signs dotting the roads and took issue with their slogan "Believe in America." "All Republican candidates, and even President Obama, believe in America," said Ridge, a former Pennsylvania gover- nor. "The question is, who do we want to lead America? Who's the principled leader we can trust?" Though Huntsman was happy to tout Ridge's endorsement, he told reporters that "nobody cares" about Sen. John McCain's endorsement of Romney. Hunts- man backed McCain's 2008 pres- idential bid and campaigned for him in New Hampshire in 2007. "I have great regard for Sen. McCain. I love the man. But it's another example of the establish- ment piling on. And it seems the more the establishment 'piles on - (Bob) Dole, McCain, all the rest - nobody cares," Huntsman said. "None of the endorsements Romney's picked up have meant a thing in terms of how people respond, because people are looking for a new generation of leadership," he said. Huntsman has been hop- ing to follow in the footsteps of McCain, who won the 2000 and 2008 New Hampshire primaries after skipping Iowa's contest. He calls himself the underdog and insists that New Hampshire vot- ers love underdogs. 0 0
