Colorado State overthrown 85-52 by Cesar Davila
hendrix@unm.edu
Adria Malcolm / Daily Lobo Lobo guard Demetrius Walker avoids Colorado State University defenders while taking a shot at The Pit last night. The Lobos ended a twogame slide with a 85-52 win over the CSU Rams.
Up 13 points and in control of the game with 17:23 left in the second half, the Lobo men’s basketball team broke Colorado State apart. The Lobo defense spared the Rams just two field goals in the next 10 minutes as UNM jumped out to a 20-point lead and eventually sealed an 85-52 win Wednesday night at The Pit. “I thought we attacked. I thought we played strong. We were physical,” head coach Steve Alford said. Coming off a two-game losing streak, which included a letdown at home against San Diego State and a 19-point lopsided defeat to UNLV on the road last Saturday, UNM (16-4, 2-2 MWC), needed to muster a win to stay in contention for the Mountain West regular season title. “Some of the hardest things in athletics is when you’ve been knocked down, is to see how you’re going to react,” Alford said. “Our guys really reacted even better than what we’d hoped.” The Lobos came out firing, hitting four of their first five shots to start the game. Two of those baskets were 3-pointers from sophomore guard Tony Snell. The shots kept falling. With 7:38 left in the half, a steal by junior forward Chad Adams led to a layup by freshman guard Hugh Greenwood and ignited a 17-2 run that gave the Lobos a 4321 lead with under three minutes to go. Despite giving up five quick points to start the second half, the Lobos response matched the intensity from the first half — unlike the previous two games. “At the UNLV game and the San Diego State game, we were feeling comfortable at half time,” senior forward Drew Gordon said. “This time we had to make sure that we maintained focus and kept the
pressure the whole game.” And keep the pressure they did. The Lobos forced the Rams into 20 turnovers and held them to 37.2 percent shooting for the game, including 21.4 from 3-point range. Colorado State (13-6, 2-2 MWC) was held to one point over its season low of 51, which it recorded four days ago against Wyoming.
“Basketball is not easy at this level, and a lot is going to be thrown at them.” ~Steve Alford Lobo men’s basketball head coach The Lobos finished with four players in double-digits. Gordon recorded his 11th double-double of the season with 13 points and 14 rebounds. Snell and senior guard Phillip McDonald each added 12 points and junior guard Jamal Fenton had 10. The Lobos dominated fast break points 25-4 and on the bench outscored the Rams 42-5. Alford, who wore his red blazer, will continue to do so for the next three games. After the UNLV loss, he told his team he was going to challenge it more than he ever has. “It’s going to be 13 days like they’ve never seen,” Alford said. “Red blazer will be out again Saturday. It’s on.” “Basketball is not easy at this level, and a lot is going to be thrown at them,” Alford said. “This is a pretty important 13 days of teaching that we are doing and the guys have bought it so far, but
‘Ether Man’ convicted of sexual assault in Colorado by Chelsea Erven
news@dailylobo.com For 15 years, a suspected serial rapist known as “Ether Man” raped and terrorized at least 11 Albuquerque women, many of them UNM students at the times of the assaults. In October, Robert Bruce admitted in a Colorado courtroom to being Ether Man. Bruce is accused of sexually assaulting women in the southwest from 1991 to 2006 by placing a chemical-soaked cloth over their mouths and trying to rape

New Mexico, but Bernalillo Country District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Kayla Anderson said it is unclear when Bruce will be extradited to New Mexico. Bernalillo County District Attorney Kari Brandenburg told KRQE that Bruce faces more than 100 years in prison if he is convicted of the rapes here. “He understands that he is going to spend the rest of his life in prison,” Robert Bruce Brandenburg said.

Mandra Ryan was a student at UNM in 2000 when Ether Man broke into her home, took pictures and began to stalk her. “He would unscrew the sensor lights in our backyard,” Ryan said in a 2009 KRQE interview. “He would oil all of the doors; break in.” Ryan said she believes he was planning his final attack on her, just as he’d done to his rape victims, but she confronted him before he had the chance. After catching Ether Man lurking in her yard, she yelled at him and he ran away.
Ryan said he attacked two of her friends soon after he stopped stalking her. In July, Bruce wrote a letter from his Colorado prison room to one of his New Mexico victims. “I don’t fully understand why I did what I did to you,” he wrote. “I don’t know if it was for the adrenaline rush, power or control or exactly what the driver was. I only know that I was addicted to doing it and could not stop. The remorse and guilt were always with me, but would diminish over time to a level where I would do it again. I battled with it all my adult life.”

Men accused of hate crime sentenced to prison Two New Mexico men have been sentenced to prison for branding a swastika on the arm of a developmentally disabled Navajo man. Federal prosecutors say 27year-old Paul Beebe and 25-yearold Jesse Sanford, of Farmington, entered Alford pleas in July to federal hate crime charges. Under the plea, a defendant acknowledges there is enough evidence for a conviction but does not admit guilt. Beebe was sentenced Wednesday to 8 1/2 years in prison followed by three years’ supervised release. Sanford was sentenced to five years in prison followed by three years’ supervised release. A third defendant has yet to be sentenced after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit a federal hate crime. The 22-year-old victim had a swastika branded on his arm with a metal coat hanger in April 2010.

someone checked a box on a form indicating he was suicidal, Coyte said. Slevin was given some drugs for depression but never saw a mental health professional, Coyte said. He said his client wrote letters for months seeking help, but they were ignored. “By January 2006, his last letter goes out looking for help. Then he falls into this delirium. He was there for the next 20 months,” Coyte said. Coyte said that in May 2007, Slevin was sent to a mental health facility in Las Vegas, N.M., for two weeks but was then returned to the Doña Ana County jail and solitary confinement. “He immediately decompensates,” Coyte said. “He sends off another letter at this point asking for medical care. ... He is forced to pull his own tooth. He rocked it back and forth over a period of eight hours before he was able to pull it out of his mouth.” Slevin was finally released in June 2007, Coyte said. He was never convicted.
A federal jury has awarded $22 million to a New Mexico man who was kept in solitary confinement for two years and forced to pull his own tooth after being arrested for drunken driving in Dona Ana County. Civil rights attorney Matt Coyte said the jury awarded Stephen Slevin, 58, the damages Tuesday after a sixday trial in Santa Fe. Jess Williams, spokesman for Doña Ana County, declined comment other than to say the county plans to appeal. “We have believe we have strong legal issues to raise with the appeal,” he said. Slevin was arrested while driving through the southern New Mexico county in August 2005. He ended up in solitary confinement because he was suffering from depression and

New formula needs funding by Chelsea Erven
news@dailylobo.com The state is looking to switch the formula for how much money UNM gets from the state from enrollment-based to performancebased; the question is how. The funding formula needs to receive funding in order to be implemented. “The Higher Education Department and all of the institutions agree on what the formula is supposed to do,� said Susan McKinsey, a professional consultant at UNM’s Government and Community Relations Office. “ They differ on how formula implementation is to be funded.� Higher Education Department
Secretary Jose Garcia recommended 5 percent of the FY12 funding base for each of the state’s higher education institutions be used to begin implementation of the funding formula, McKinsey said. University presidents in New Mexico, including UNM President David Schmidly, are against Garcia’s recommendation, however, because they see using that 5 percent as a budget cut. McKinsey said university presidents want the Legislative Finance Committee to come up with new funds to implement a new funding formula. The new funding formula would be performance-based instead of enrollment-based, which
means it would measure course completion and degrees awarded instead of enrollment numbers. “The real issue here is not losing any more money,� President Schmidly said during Tuesday’s Senate Finance Committee meetings. Despite New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez’s optimism about an increase of funds in the 2013 state budget, the LFC might not have any funds to give. Natural gas prices are rapidly decreasing, which could pose a threat to the revenue projection on which the 2012 budget proposals were originally built, McKinsey said. The higher education budget has not yet been finalized.
with multiple documents such as a passport or notarized English translation of a foreign birth certificate. They also must show New Mexico residency with other documents, including property lease agreements, utility bills and bank statements. Of the more than 90,000 licenses issued so far to foreign nationals, it’s impossible to know how many are illegal immigrants because the state doesn’t ask a person’s immigration status. The AP analyzed license data since 2003 and found a striking pattern at addresses across the state that suggests the license system is being abused. Seventeen people with different last names used a car repair shop’s address in Albuquerque for licenses during nine months in 2007; only four additional licenses were issued to people using that same address in 2008 and 2009. Thirty-one people listed a mobile home address in Albuquerque to obtain licenses over 29 months and sometimes the licenses came in quick succession. One a week was issued on average at that address during a two-month stretch at the end of 2008. But no additional licenses have been issued since then. Those claiming the smoke shop address as their legal residence in New Mexico obtained licenses from May 2005 through 2010. Only two of the four dozen individuals had the same last name — making it highly unlikely that they were part of the
same family. Critics say it’s obvious what is happening. “This is yet another sign of how New Mexico’s driver’s license has been compromised and is not secure,� said Scott Darnell, a spokesman for Martinez. “When business addresses are being used as residential addresses by a large number of foreign nationals for the purpose of obtaining a driver’s license, it’s highly concerning and it points to the presence of fraud that has persisted in this program for some time.� Supporters of the current policy say the government can crack down on fraud without repealing the law and hurting immigrants who are working and raising families in New Mexico. They argue licenses bring a vital benefit to the state and make New Mexico a safer place. “Many of these folks have U.S. citizen children who depend on their parents’ ability to drive them around legally, be insured, register their vehicle, have an identification for purposes of picking up medication for their kids,� said Marcela Diaz, executive director of Somos un Pueblo Unido, an immigrant rights group in Santa Fe. “These driver’s licenses are a good thing not just for our community but a good thing for the state.� The licensing patterns found by the AP don’t conclusively prove fraud — tenant turnover in rental property, for example, could account for some
Investigation finds license fraud by Barry Massey
The Associated Press
SANTA FE, N.M.— Dozens of the same business and residential addresses were used repeatedly by people to obtain driver’s licenses in New Mexico in a pattern that suggests fraud by immigrants trying to game the system, an Associated Press investigation has found. In one instance, 48 foreign nationals claimed to live at a smoke shop in Albuquerque to get a license. In another case, more than a dozen claimed to live at an automotive repair shop over a one-year period. The scenario has been repeated at other addresses since New Mexico changed its law in 2003 to allow undocumented immigrants to get the same driver’s license as a U.S. citizen — one of just two states allowing that. Republican Gov. Susana Martinez is pressing the Legislature to scrap the law because of public safety concerns about widespread fraud. She contends New Mexico has become a magnet for out-of-state immigrants seeking a license, which can be used to board airplanes, conduct financial transactions or get another license in some other state. The governor’s proposal will be considered by a legislative committee today. Having an address in New Mexico is a critical part of getting a license.

LETTER We the people say ‘no’ to Internet censorship Editor’s Note: This column was written during the Internet blackout on Jan. 18. Though SOPA and PIPA have been dropped, this column more specifically deals with the consequences of censorship, which is always a relevant topic. Editor, We are now 15 hours into the biggest online protest in history, in which several big-name websites have either brought their websites down or have prominently displayed anti-SOPA and PIPA messages somewhere on their main pages. You’ll see a few people inquiring why Wikipedia is taking this step — after all, these bills only target pirates, and as long as you’re not doing anything illegal, you should have nothing to fear, right? It’s not like half of the web will just vanish. And it’s true, Wikipedia would probably also not be affected. But that’s not what we’re protesting. We’re not protesting what would happen tomorrow, or the next day. We’re protesting what these bills give the government the right to do. Let’s take an example. Let’s say SOPA and PIPA pass. Now, let’s go a few years down the road, say, 12. It’s an election year, and the current president is seeking reelection. He or she has had an average term, nothing super-negative, but nothing really super-positive either. Now, let’s say a blogger posts about why someone else should be elected over the incumbent. This blog is influential, and it slowly spreads across the country. Suddenly, the president’s reelection hopes are slipping away. With the power of SOPA and PIPA, the government can decide to shut that blog down. The wording of these bills allows the government to shut down any site it deems necessary without due process. No warnings, no fines, just shut down. Now, say that blog is on a blogging site like Blogger.com. Since the DNS-masking has been removed, the government can’t just block access to that one blog, so if they want the blog gone, they’d have to shut down the whole site. Now, granted, SOPA and PIPA are only supposed to be used to stop piracy, but any story can be spun. And just like that, without any warning or due process, Blogger.com is gone. Now, that’s pretty extreme, and pretty unlikely to happen, but if SOPA/PIPA pass, it’s a possibility. Basically, the door would be open for that to happen. That should not be allowed. Now, people keep saying that the government wouldn’t allow that happen, that they wouldn’t exploit it. But let’s look at it this way. Tech experts, Internet experts and security experts have all appeared before, written to, and called Congress, telling it that these bills will not do what Congress seems to think they will do. Despite the protests Congress still seems intent to push this thing through. This country was founded on the principle of by the people, for the people, so why aren’t we, the people getting a say? Why is the government so desperate to get its hands on that power? That is what we are protesting. There are countries in this world with Internet regulation similar to this. Maybe you’ve heard of some of them — China, Iran, North Korea — sound familiar? We are protesting our country, the Land of the Free, attempting to take a step in the direction of dictatorship. PIPA and SOPA are the snowballs that can start an avalanche. It’s not that we seem to think that Wikipedia will vanish if SOPA and PIPA pass, that’s not our point. We are protesting our government taking a step toward totalitarianism, and without so much as a say from the people. Last time I checked, we live in a democracy, in which the people vote on how our country is run. There has been complete outcry from the American people about these bills, yet Congress refuses to listen. I read an article today that made me think of something. When technology malfunctions, how often is the solution to simply reboot or reset the device? I think it’s time to reboot Congress. For too long many of the same lawmakers have sat upon Capitol Hill thinking they “know what’s best for us.” Jake Viscarra UNM student
COLUMN
Dr. Peg’s Prescription Beat heartburn, stomach pain with behavior changes, over-the-counter medication
Dear Dr Peg, Sometimes after I eat I get stomach pain. Usually if I chew an antacid tablet, that takes care of it, but sometimes I have to chew several. My aunt is a nurse and she told me I might have an ulcer. How do I know? Should I get checked? -Bellyache Dear Bellyache, It sounds like you have hyperacidity. Hyper means too much. Acidity refers to the gastric secretions produced by your stomach, one of the main ingredients of which is hydrochloric acid. Stomach acid is normal and useful, but it sounds like your acid factory is working overtime. That is common and usually more irritating than damaging, but it can become problematic. Our intestines are wonders of engineering and finesse. Consider what happens. Something delicious awaits you on your plate. This aromatic vision triggers your digestive system to gear up. Even before you take a bite, your salivary glands start to secrete. Once in your mouth, the food gets reduced to manageable-sized pieces by your chompers and partially dissolved by the enzymes in your saliva. Having chewed your bite thoroughly, just like your mama taught you, you swallow, and it all goes sliding down your esophagus. This is the tube that runs from your mouth to your stomach. It is lined with smooth muscles, which automatically contract, assisting gravity to transport your nourishment to the next level: your stomach. The job of the stomach is to break food down even more. This is accomplished by more muscular contractions and a bunch of very strong acid. Smush, gurgle, smush, and off it goes to the small intestine, where all the nutrients get absorbed. DAILY LOBO
HIRING OPEN HOUSE JAN. 30 7 P.M. MARRON HALL
So far, so normal. But as you well know, it doesn’t always go so smoothly. If your stomach produces too much acid, that can be painful right there. Especially if there is nothing in there for it to digest, it may just eat into your own stomach lining. If it does that long enough, it can cause an ulcer, which is basically a hole in your stomach. An ulcer can be shallow, bleeding or perforated, in increasing order of severity. A perforated ulcer means the acid ate all the way through your stomach. This is a medical emergency and trust me, you’ll know when it happens. The only surefire way to diagnose an ulcer is to have a look in there with fiber optics, which means a trip to the specialist. On a less severe basis, too much acid is called acid indigestion. This is probably what you have. You might also have heartburn. Normally the stomach acid stays in the stomach, but on occasion it can flow upstream and into the esophagus. This hurts. It is acid, after all. Acid burns. Hence the term “heartburn,” which of course has nothing to do with the heart except a shared neighborhood. Heartburn, also called reflux, is usually worse if you eat a really big meal, and if you lie down too soon after a meal. This is simply physics. A big meal stretches the stomach and displaces some acid. Lying down causes gravity to work in the wrong direction. Many acid sufferers have it worst at night. Sometimes raising the head of the bed with a low block under the bed frame can provide just enough of a downward slope to cure nighttime reflux. Some people don’t feel a burning sensation with acid reflux. Other symptoms can be nausea, pressure, a cough or those lovely sour burps. There are two basic ways to approach acid symptoms. First, decrease the amount of acid you are producing. Stress stimulates acid
production, so do what you can to stay calm. Smoking cigarettes also increases stomach acid, as does drinking alcohol and ingesting acidic things like coffee. Some foods tend to make it all worse, but these vary a lot depending on the individual, so I won’t generalize. Knowing your own body and what it can tolerate is your best bet. The next step beyond avoidance of triggers is neutralizing the acid. You are doing this when you chew those tablets, or when you drink an antacid liquid medication. It’s fine to do that every so often, but a steady diet of TUMS isn’t good for anyone. If you are spending your days neutralizing your acid, you might want to look at medicines or herbs to decrease acid production. Over-thecounter medicines like Pepcid and Tagamet block production of acid in the stomach. Those are very effective, but there is some question about their long-term safety. One herbal remedy that is useful is deglycyrrhizinated licorice, or DGL. If reflux is severe enough or goes on long enough, it can permanently damage the esophagus and even increase your risk of cancer of the esophagus. For this reason, it is a bad idea to ignore symptoms of acid reflux. Don’t eat huge meals or lie down too soon after eating. Avoid triggers, limit your vices and use over-the-counter medicines judiciously. If this doesn’t help, or if you get worse, come see us at SHAC. Call 277-3136 for an appointment.

Navajo president: Jan Brewer ‘turns me on’ by Felicia Fonseca The Associated Press
WINDOW ROCK, Ariz. — Navajo Nation President Ben Shelly is facing criticism for remarks he made about the governors of Arizona and New Mexico. Some in the audience gasped and others laughed when Shelly said in a speech at the Arizona Legislature last week that Gov. Jan Brewer “turns me on.” He also said he loved his family, the lawmakers and Brewer’s straight-forward style. A day later, Shelly told New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez that it appeared she had gained weight. Neither governor was offended by the comments, their spokesmen
Licenses
said this week. But Navajo Nation Council Delegate Joshua Lavar Butler told Shelly the comments were inappropriate coming from the leader of one of the country’s largest American Indian tribes. “Every time you address these state and federal leaders, you are speaking on behalf of the Navajo Nation,” Butler said at the start of the Tribal Council’s winter session Monday in Window Rock. “...We need to strengthen those relationships; they’re very delicate.” Shelly didn’t back down, saying the comments weren’t out of line but could be misconstrued when taken out of context. The president, who is a year into his four-year term, has been known to speak off-the-cuff. Shelly was addressing Arizona
lawmakers during Indian Nations and Tribes Legislative Day on Jan. 17 when he said of Brewer: “I love that lady. She’s up-front. She’ll tell you the way it is. I love that lady for some reason. She just turns me on for some reason every time I meet with her.” He didn’t hesitate to elaborate during the Tribal Council session by saying that Brewer’s political style excites him because he believes she’s honest. Shelly’s spokesman, Erny Zah, said Shelly’s comments can be attributed to the difficulty in navigating Navajo and American societies, and to Navajo being Shelly’s first language. “There are examples of people taking catchphrases of American society and misplacing it,” he said.
“That’s what this is. Then you can start to argue whether tribal leaders should be well-versed in English, to the point of interpersonal communications.” Brewer spokesman Matthew Benson said the governor took Shelly’s remarks “in the good spirit with which they were intended.” Of Martinez, Zah said Shelly knows Martinez well enough with her to joke around and wasn’t trying to discourage her or give the public a negative perception about her appearance. The comment about her weight came after an hour-long meeting between the leaders. Martinez’s spokesman, Scott Darnell, said the governor “laughed it off and took it in stride. They had a very friendly and worthwhile meeting.”
Navajo Council Delegate Edmund Yazzie, who recently had a public verbal disagreement with Shelly over law enforcement, said Shelly should be careful with what he’s saying and consider his surroundings. During the tribal legislative session Monday, Yazzie joked that his colleague, Danny Simpson, would have to lose weight before ever considering becoming a police officer. “It comes out of respect,” Yazzie said. “You don’t say that to any governors, senators or representatives. Back here, Danny and I knew it was a comfortable setting,” Yazzie said. “But at a national level, I wouldn’t do that.”
dozens of addresses that were used repeatedly for licenses. Investigators found at least one person at an address with “first-hand knowledge” that the location had been used purposely to help immigrants get driver’s licenses, according to Darnell. That case is still open. In another instance, investigators couldn’t find an Albuquerque area address used by 17 people for licenses. The closest location to the
fictitious address was a scrap yard, which had no home on the property. New Mexico and Washington are the only states that allow illegal immigrants to obtain a driver’s license. Utah grants immigrants a special driving permit that cannot be used as identification. In New Mexico, repeal of the immigrant license issue became a hotbutton political topic when Martinez — a former prosecutor — made it a
centerpiece of her 2010 campaign for governor, and it remains an emotional issue in this year’s legislative session. The AP requested the license data to try to determine whether there was evidence to back up Martinez administration claims of fraud in the immigrant license system. Martinez’s proposal failed last year in the Senate after passing the House. Democrats hold majorities in both chambers.
Despite rejecting a Martinezbacked measure, the Senate approved what Democratic leaders called a compromise. It would have toughened penalties for license fraud, required fingerprinting of immigrants applying for licenses and canceled all previously issued licenses to foreign nationals who didn’t renew them within two years. The governor opposed the alternative proposal, however.

licenses. And there can be legitimate reasons for multiple licenses to be issued at the same address. Fifty-six licenses went to an address in Alamogordo that state officials say is housing at Holloman Air Force Base used by foreign military personnel stationed there. But the broader pattern raised enough questions for the Martinez administration to send investigators to knock on doors and check on

Misunderstood Abused pit bulls raise awareness about dog fighting. by Nicole Perez
nicole11@unm.edu Wide-eyed children gasp as they learn someone probably poured battery acid down Kale’s back, the pit bull that is now licking their hands and nibbling at bits of string cheese. It could have been acid, but it also could have been gasoline that was then set on fire. The kids stop squirming for the first time all class, groaning out loud at pictures of bloodied and abused dogs that were used for dog fighting. The children are sixth graders at Truman Middle School, located amid cookie-cutter housing on the West Side, where Animal Humane New Mexico’s 505 Pit Crew is leading a conversation about dog fighting. “So what type of people fight dogs?” asked Ellen Schmidt, 505 Pit Crew educator. “Bad guys?” a boy responds. Although the topic may seem too violent for young audiences, Schmidt said most dogfighters see their first dogfight at age 6 or 7 and engage in dog fighting in their early teens. Truman Middle School teacher Peggy Lynch-Hill said she frequently overhears bits of conversation related to dog fighting. “They’ll talk about little things like, ‘When I was walking to school today, there was a loose dog, and I didn’t know what to do. It was about to get hit by a car, and I think my neighbors fight dogs,’” she said. “They are wonderful kids, wonderful parents and hardworking families, but there are a lot of incidents of crime here.” Schmidt said she was asked to do a class at a multimedia digital arts charter school after a call about boys there filming dogfights and posting them on YouTube. “Sometimes we have students who are pretty quiet during class, and you can tell that they’ve seen this before, but I don’t push too hard,” she said. “We give them the info and let them make their own decisions.” Schmidt goes around the Truman classroom asking questions, and students discuss the positive, “tough guy” image of dog fighting propagated by rappers such as DMX as opposed to the reality of animal abuse.
Junfu Han/ Daily Lobo Students put their hands on Kale’s back during a 505 Pit Crew class session at Truman Middle School on Tuesday. Kale, a 3-year-old pit bull, came to Animal Humane New Mexico in August 2010 after officials thought he was being abused in a dog fighting ring. The scars on his back are indicative of either chemical burns or being doused with gasoline and set on fire. Lynch-Hill said the images and ideas stick with the kids long after Schmidt and her colleague leave. “The most common statement afterwards is ‘I had no idea it was so bad,’” Lynch-Hill said. “They have a whole different perspective on people like Michael Vick, who is looked on as a sports hero.” The classroom, one of a series of trailers, is decorated with handmade signs sporting messages such as “I am worthy, I am gifted, I have ups and downs, I am not perfect,” or “Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?” Footlong paper cranes hang from the wall, as well as a newspaper article discussing the middle school class’ ongoing efforts to raise awareness about spaying and neutering. Lynch-Hill said she has always focused her curriculum on humane education because educa-
tion is not just about academics. “There’s a place for math and reading, but if you don’t grow up to be a whole, empathetic, kind and compassionate human being, then what’s the point,” she said. The whole 505 Pit Crew mentality aims to evoke empathy in children who can then educate their parents and communities, Schmidt said. “If we can have a student sit and look at an image of a dog they’ve never thought about before, and they say, ‘That’s really not cool, and I feel really bad for that dog,’ that’s like the seed that starts a whole different thought process,” she said. The 505 Pit Crew, which was founded by Schmidt and a coworker in August 2011, has visited six middle and high schools and has visited some schools up to four times. Schmidt said they stress the fact that pit bulls are not
naturally violent, as some might think, and one of the ways they try to change that image is through their weekend pit bull training classes, which are free for individuals ages 12 to 20. The training center is an oasis of AstroTurf amid the International District south of Central Avenue on the east side of town. Bright red tunnels, blue and yellow elevated walkways, and even a kiddie pool sit on the special doggy grass that can absorb urine. It doesn’t smell — they wash it every morning. UNM student Elisa Mares is studying for a master’s degree in policy and planning. She is temporarily taking care of Blaze, a 1-and-ahalf-year-old pit bull mix, so that he doesn’t have to live in a shelter while awaiting adoption. “When we first had him, he was a wild animal,” she said. “He had nev-
er been in a home, so little things like setting down the remote control would freak him out. I love seeing him succeed, like just now he did the tunnel; he rocked at the tunnel.” Mares said Blaze was found in a ditch in Valencia County, half-frozen and half-dead. He was missing 90 percent of his fur because of severe demodectic mange, a condition caused by an overpopulation of Demodex mites. Schmidt said people abandon dogs like Blaze because they assume pit pulls are violent animals. “Singling out a single breed or type of dog as dangerous or threatening is not effective because it’s all about the individual dogs, and what really affects individual dogs is how they’re raised, how they’re handled and how they’re trained,” she said.
Pit Crew Fact Sheet
1
Fighting dogs is a felony, as is watching dog fights. Individuals can be charged for having multiple incriminating items in their homes such as heavy chains, treadmills and veterinary supplies.
2
“Bait dogs” are used by dogfighters to train the fighting dogs. Bait dogs can be smaller dogs, or bigger dogs that refuse to fight. Their teeth are filed down so they cannot do any harm to the fighting dog and are unable to defend themselves.

A bill proposing changes to the “Dangerous Dogs Act” was introduced in the New Mexico Legislature in December of last year. If passed, the bill will require all pit bulls to be registered on the “dangerous dog list.” according to Animal Humane NM

Sitting Pretty by Nicole Perez
nicole11@unm.edu Dogs seem like the cutest things on the planet until they reveal their true nature after adoption. Some can be little terrors who seem to purposefully make your life as difficult as possible. The Daily Lobo is here to help you rein in your dog with some tips from Animal Humane New Mexico. Sit: Put your dog in a space where she can’t be distracted by people, food or other dogs. Cut up some small pieces of cheese and hot dog, and take a few into your right hand. Focus the dog’s attention on your closed hand with the treats inside, and say “sit� in an authoritative tone. Slowly move your hand over her head and away from you. The dog will be forced to sit down if she stays focused on the treat, because her head will be moving backward. Give her a treat and lots of praise when she does it correctly. Never push down on the dog’s rear end to try to get her to sit. Repeat as often as necessary and only stop after a perfect try before moving on to the next trick. Leave it: This is a good command for dogs to learn because they are likely to dig through garbage or pick up a dead bird the minute you look away. Eating that stuff could be detrimental to their health, so teaching them to “leave it� on command is important. Put a few treats in both of your hands, and focus your dog’s attention on your right hand. Say “leave it,� and as soon as he focuses his attention on something other than your right hand, reward him from your left hand. Continue this until your dog gets the hang of it. At first it may take awhile for the dog to leave the treat in your right hand, but as long as you consistently reward from the left hand the dog will get it down. Reward any type of disengagement, regardless of whether it’s from another distraction.

If your eyes aren’t immediately drawn to your arm candies, then add a few more. them with thick tights and boots to prevent freezing your legs off. If the print is especially bold or the color pops, wear darker tights. If the skirt is on the shorter side, pull your tall socks up past the legs of your boots. This is especially cute with socks in a color or pattern that complements your skirt. If you’re petite, be careful not to create too many breaks in your outfit to avoid looking short and stocky, unless you’re aiming for that.

Unique collars dominated the spring/summer runway shows in November. Styles ranged from exaggerated angles to jewel-embellished to sweetly rounded Peter Pans. I love the latter and have a sheer blouse — another big trend for the season — with a scallopedged Peter Pan collar. One way to show off your neck attire while the temperature is far from balmy is to wear it under a sweater. The look is supposed to be a little preppy and a little retro. Any sweater will do, but if you really want to hit the sugar-sweet nail on the head, then go with a crew neck or modest V-neck. Bangles are back and they’re big, literally. Stack them generously over long sleeves and you’ll be toasty and trendy. If you want this to work, you have to commit. If you’re going to go for it, and I highly recommend that you do, stack at least four or five on each arm, depending on the size of your bangles. They should be noticeable. Stand at your mirror — if your eyes aren’t immediately drawn to your arm candies, then add a few more. If you find that your bangles get in the way of your writing arm — we are students, after all — then go big on your free arm and stick to a few low profile bracelets on your dominant arm. Go easy on your other accessories, or your peers might think you’ve dropped out of college to pursue the life of a gypsy. Nail polish is one way that you can fully express your spring style without risking frostbite, which is never a good look. The top tones for 2012 are bright and pastel. Tangerine — a juicy, vibrant orange — is the color for spring/summer this year. I like OPI “Atomic Orange,” about $9. If orange isn’t your thing, but you like the bold color, go for a vivacious pink à la Elle Woods from “Legally Blonde” with something like Sally Hansen “Flashy Fuchsia,” about $5. If pastel is your preference, try the mint green “Navigate Her” by Essie, about $7; the purple-grey “Lavender Cloud” by Sally Hansen, about $6; or go naked. Choosing a nude nail color is like choosing foundation — it has to be the right color, so match it to the shade of your fingers. I got one for $2.50 at Forever 21, and it looks seamless from finger to nail. Now that you have a few ideas for wearing your spring finds, I expect campus to blossom with bright pinks and citruses, sweet pastels, prints, pleats, Peter Pan collars and pretty polished nails.
