Richardson vetoes food tax to help NM families

New Mexicans are free to eat their tortillas after Gov. Bill Richardson vetoed the food tax Wednesday, forcing lawmakers to choke down an unbalanced budget. The governor vetoed the legislation, passed by state lawmakers, which would reinstate a 2 percent local and county gross receipt tax on food items. The veto leaves the state budget with a $68 million shortfall for the upcoming fiscal year. “I am not willing to put this burden on working families,” Richardson said in a statement. “It is especially cruel during the worst fiscal crisis New Mexico has ever experienced.” UNM Senior Catherine Atencio said she agreed with the governor that taxing food items would

Input sought on new dorms in weekly forum held in SUB by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
If you are a member of the UNM community, the University wants your input on the future of main campus residence halls. Every Thursday night until the end of the semester, Student Housing Outreach Workshops are held in the SUB to get feedback about new dorms from students, faculty and community members, said Kim Murphy, UNM’s director of Real Estate. “Some of our dorms date from the 1950s so they are easily 60 years old and some of them are in need of refurbishment or replacement,” he
said. “We are now entering into what we are calling a planning phase on main campus for new student housing.” The purpose of SHOW is to initiate discussion about concerns University members might have, Murphy said. “The goal of the workshops is really to identify key issues that need to be addressed because we are not going to solve all the problems in the course of this semester and early next semester,” he said. “The goal is to identify those problems that will need to be addressed in the future for new student housing to be successful.” Susan Michie, a UNM visiting professor and nearby resident, said she has been attending the
Gov’t grants reservation $32M to get broadband by Susan Montoya Bryan Associated Press
The federal government is investing more than $32 million in stimulus funds to help the nation’s largest American Indian reservation, the Navajo Nation, build a high-speed Internet highway that will connect thousands of homes and businesses across the sprawling reservation. U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke announced the grant Thursday, saying Navajo communities in New Mexico, Arizona and Utah will benefit from 550 miles of new fiber

crime briefs The UNM Hospital parking structure was the site for a string of auto burglaries that took place within the same hour on March 19. UNM Police Department first responded at 3 p.m. to the second floor of the structure after a woman reported her 2002 Chevrolet Silverado was burglarized. The victim stated that the lock on her passenger’s door had been popped out and the middle dashboard had been pried open. A Kenwood stereo worth $400 and a key that locks the trucks rims were reported missing. The victim was unable to start the vehicle, and police were assigned to periodically watch the truck throughout the night. While exiting the parking structure, UNMPD was flagged down by another woman claiming her vehicle was also burglarized the same day. The victim told police she noticed a wire hanging from the rear hatchback of her 2005 Chevrolet SUV. The driver’s side lock, a bag containing jewelry, two 12-inch subwoofers and a DVD were missing from the vehicle. The items were estimated to be worth $900. No suspects or witnesses were located for either incident.
On March 21 officers arrived at the UNM Championship Golf Course to investigate a reported burglary. The victim told police he returned to his vehicle in the parking lot to find his driver’s side window smashed. He also noticed a leather jacket was missing from the passenger’s seat. The value of the items was estimated to be worth $650. Security cameras are installed around the golf course parking lot but UNMPD were unable to obtain surveillance footage. Hyram Duncan, the husband of a UNM Mailing Systems employee, was charged for unlawfully taking his wife’s work vehicle even though she gave him permission to drive the car. According to the police report filed March 19, an officer approached the vehicle to have the driver move out of the unloading zone, and upon talking to the driver detected an odor of alcohol emanating from the individual. The man was unable to provide his license to the police, but identified himself as Hyram Duncan. The driver said he was operating the vehicle to transport his wife to and from the airport. When UNMPD conducted a license check they found Duncan
would have his license suspended or revoked if he was found operating a vehicle without an interlock ignition system. The vehicle did not have any signs of damage and no items inside the vehicle appeared to be missing. Duncan was booked at Metropolitan Detention Court for charges of driving while intoxicated and driving on a suspended license. Police were dispatched to La Posada dining hall on March 18 after a morning dispute between a kitchen supervisor and a line cook took place in the back kitchen. Anthony Rosa was cited for battery after he was accused of instigating a verbal dispute with a female cook. When police arrived they had to physically separate the two fighting individuals. According to several witnesses, Rosa was the instigator of the confrontation and appeared to use physical force to block the female from moving away from the fight. Rosa, typically a night shift supervisor, was suspended for three days and required to take an online sexual harassment class. The female victim is pursuing assault charges against Rosa.
news brief
Husband’s motive for wife’s death unknown AMHERST, N.Y. — Police say a 90-year-old western New York man bludgeoned and suffocated his wife of nearly 68 years, but they still haven’t released a motive for the attack. John Bunz appeared briefly in court Thursday to waive his right to a hearing on a second-degree murder charge in the death of his 89-year-old wife, Virginia. The case will now go to a grand jury. Virginia Bunz’s body was found early Sunday in the couple’s apartment at a retirement community in Amherst. He was briefly hospitalized with self-inflicted wounds and had two black eyes and a bruise on his neck when he was brought to court Thursday. His lawyer declined to comment. A not guilty plea was entered for Bunz at his arraignment Sunday. He’s being held without bail. The couple would have celebrated their 68th wedding anniversary April 4.
Police: Coyote on the loose in Manhattan NEW YORK — A wily coyote evaded New York City police for two days before being nabbed in a parking garage. It was the fourth coyote sighting in Manhattan this year. The animal first eluded police capture Wednesday near the Holland Tunnel. It was spotted Thursday afternoon on the West Side Highway, and police chased it to an open-air garage in Tribeca. Officers cornered the coyote, sedated it with a dart and then carted it off to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It wasn’t immediately clear where it would go next. Last month, three coyotes were spotted on the campus of Columbia University. Earlier this month, one was seen in Chelsea.
Boy zooms down interstate at 100 mph LA GRANGE, Texas — A 12-yearold Texas boy is accused of leading police on a nighttime interstate chase at speeds topping 100 mph with the truck headlights off. A judge ruled Wednesday that the boy must stay in juvenile detention during the investigation. Authorities say the Comal County
boy did not have permission to take his father’s pickup Monday night. Officers responded to 911 calls about a vehicle being driven erratically on Interstate 10 with its lights off. Video from the patrol car’s dashboard camera shows the pickup weaving in and out of traffic in Fayette County. Officers threw down a spiked strip, which the pickup drove over, to end the 14-mile chase. The video shows the boy exiting the vehicle with his hands raised and saying he was trying to call his mother. Nobody was hurt.
U.S., Russia to cut back on nuclear arsenals WASHINGTON — The U.S. and Russia will drastically reduce their nuclear arsenals under a historic treaty to be signed next month. After long and trying negotiations, President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev are to sign the treaty in two weeks in Prague, once final technical details are worked out, officials in Washington and Moscow said Wednesday. The accord is expected to cut the number of longrange nuclear weapons held by each side to about 1,500, and it raises hopes for further disarmament in the years ahead. The deal is seen as sealing an increased level of trust and cooperation between the U.S. and Russia, who possess the vast majority of the world’s nuclear arms and have labored under strained relations in recent years. Obama and Medvedev are expected to seal the deal when they talk by telephone this week, setting the stage for a White House campaign to win Senate ratification. The treaty also must win approval by the Russian Duma, and the two legislative processes are likely to take months. Robert S. Norris, a longtime analyst of U.S. and Russian nuclear arsenals, said Senate ratification would not be easy.
Spy kills seven CIA, himself in deadliest attack WASHINGTON — CIA officers in Afghanistan were so eager to meet the spy they believed would help them crack al-Qaida’s leadership they planned a birthday celebration for his visit in December, current and former U.S. officials said. A birthday cake was waiting. But before they could even begin to question their golden source, he detonated a powerful bomb, kill-
ing himself and seven CIA employees in one of the deadliest attacks in the agency’s history. Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, a 36-year-old doctor who had been recruited by Jordanian intelligence officials, was really a double agent. The account of the planned birthday gathering is the latest evidence that CIA officials at the Afghan base trusted the Jordanian and wanted to build rapport with him. It was confirmed by current and former officials briefed on the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.

From the web Hunter Riley wrote the article, “State’s slow adoption of medicinal marijuana draws criticism” published Wednesday. Patients and advocates stressed their concerns that the program hasn’t progressed fast enough, resulting in too many patients and too few licensed cannabis growers. Readers at DailyLobo.com debated about the issue. by ‘DocJohn’ Posted Wednesday “Marijuana should be banned. This whole story is one-sided. While it seemingly offers hope for pain relief, it actually brings misery with that false hope. It is well known scientifically that the same ‘active’ substance is available from one’s own doctor in chemical form by prescription. Thus, there can be no excuse for raising or smoking marijuana at all. The reality is that drugs including marijuana still cause serious problems and legalizing them — even for postulated fleeting medical benefits — is contra-indicated. First, people don’t understand that marijuana brings crime. The Washington Post documented this recently (as a Google search of ‘Medical marijuana a frequent target for criminals’ will establish). Second, marijuana smoke, just like tobacco smoke, increases risks of cancer not only to the user but likely to those around them (PubMed reference 19449825). Third, now that the health care bill has passed, the taxpayer should demand an end to all smoking (tobacco and marijuana) permanently. Moreover, the government should forbid health care to those that partake in healthadverse activities after the signing date (or year’s end) whatever their invalid reasons for doing so. Health care simply must not be provided to those that can be documented through testing to put their own health at adverse risk when it is now the taxpayers who must now bear the risk associated with this consequence.” by ‘J’ Posted Wednesday “Of course they’re dragging their feet. It opens the door to legalization, gives profit to entities that aren’t huge pharmaceutical conglomerates, and the medical use of MJ will effectively treat enough ills that the medical community is running scared. Not to mention the fear the law enforcement community has of being out of work.” by ‘Mr Obvious’ Posted Wednesday “The only reason it brings violence in very few cases is because of the money issue. Cannabis is worth a lot of money. That’s how the Mexican cartel has so many guns and ammo. It’s because 90 percent of their money comes from cannabis. Because it’s illegal, and because there is a market for it. Let’s face it, this is a plant. There are no chemist labs involved and it’s simply a seed in some dirt. It’s nature, all natural. Now, how are you going to ban nature? You can’t stop nature and you will waste all the taxpayers money trying to enforce this law that was based on all lies from the very beginning.” Join the discussion at DailyLobo.com

Google might be taking over, but don’t worry
“I’ll keep talking and maybe you’ll just get it.”
by Chris Quintana
Assistant Culture Editor Recently, Google has been having issues controlling the rogue country China, and that makes me wonder what might lie in wait for the United States. Thus far, we have been obedient to our Google overlords. They allow us the illusion of privacy; even though they know all about your interests in cockfighting in New Mexico. It’s OK, they don’t care as long as you keep using Google and click on advertisements every now and then. China, on the other hand, sought to control the power of Google through censorship. And while it seems that Google may have retreated, for now, to Hong Kong, the obedient Google elite knows the search engine is simply biding its time before striking China down. I am not sure how it’ll happen. Only the almighty Google entity, with seven writhing tentacles and a pincher for a mouth, knows what fate holds. But I can speculate. Seeing as the Chinese have already attacked Google through the “interwebs,” I suspect the same sort of response from the Google entity. I am thinking something like a viral video reminiscent of the “The Ring” will storm China. I imagine it would contain dancing pandas talking with multi-colored
dragons playing mandolins all while eating egg rolls or embracing a free-market system, but, like I said, Google has got it all under control. But back to my point. We need to show proper deference to our Google overlords. Realistically, there’s nothing we can do to stop the Google regime. I suppose we could use another search engine, but in this age that would be about as useful as voting Libertarian. Are you really going to use Yahoo! and obtain results from some Web page made by third graders? Or maybe you could try your luck with Bing, the search engine just as successful as Microsoft’s other venture into products outside of computers — the Zune. And don’t even mention the red-headed stepchild of the search engine family, Ask Jeeves, unless you’re just looking for miles of porn interlaced with advertisements for Snuggies. Here in Albuquerque, we have the right idea about how to deal with Google. A new initiative entitled “Googlequerque” proposes that the behemoth search engine come to the Duke City and rewire our Internet service, making it a hundred times faster according to googlequerque. blogspot.com. I don’t know about you, but that quarter of a second that I have been waiting for my Web page or song to download is definitely too damn long. Do you know what I could be doing with that time if the Web page would load a hundred times quicker? I could easily harvest all the crops on my 500-acre farm on FarmVille or finish reading the 1,000-page epic “Infinite Jest.” See, Google has only got the best of interests in mind for its loyal minions and, as long as we keep supporting it, we won’t be harmed. And if you think about it, this really is the best way to go. Eventually, the corporations that run the government in linen closets or behind curtain drapes in Congress will get tired of hanging out in the dark and take over officially. I mean there is already a corporation, Murray Hill Inc., running for Congress thanks to
the recent Supreme Court decision that set a precedent for granting corporations the same rights as individuals. There are only two corporations powerful enough to actually take over: Wal-Mart and Google. Thus, the choice is not whether we are OK with letting corporations take over, but which corporation we want to be our overlords. Wal-Mart makes a strong case for a dictatorship with a promise of always low prices and one-stop shopping. Plus, if the commercials are any indication of what a Wal-Mart-run world would be like there should always be sunshine, upbeat music playing from speakers buried in the grass and everyone would somehow look good in Wal-Mart clothes. Yet, when you consider what it’s like to actually visit a Wal-Mart with the blinding lights and the “people” of Wal-Mart, the prospect becomes unsettling. Plus, consider the state of constant enervation and apathy exhibited by Wal-Mart employees. I think it would be better if Google took the reins instead. Think about it: Google would make everything faster. Everything would be organized. I imagine Google engineers could probably whip up a chip that would allow for fast browsing of all of one’s thoughts and memories. Just think, you’ll never be in an awkward situation again where you have forgotten the name of someone. Instead, you can just use Google Brain Beta to search the memory cells, pull up the corresponding image and meta tag attach to it — voil à — problem solved. Plus, don’t forget how sleek and stylized the world would become if left to Google designers. On a side note, have you ever seen the workplace for Google employees? They have slides instead of stairs! If that’s the future of our overlords then sign me up today, although Google already knows what I think. Hail Google!

Wednesday weather is only describable in Spanish terms Editor, I once lived in Costa Rica where they have names for different kinds of rain. I particularly liked the Pelo de Gato, or “cat fur” in English, which is so fine it was hard to tell if it was
really rain or just falling fog. I am not Catholic, but I also liked Baño de Maria, or “Mary’s bath” in English, which means rain falling on you while the sun is shining. Wednesday here in Albuquerque, something wonderful happened. First, it began to snow, in great big fluffy flakes without a breath of wind to disturb their fall. It snowed just enough to drape everything with a layer of perfect white. Then, in
minutes, the clouds broke open like curtains to reveal a clear blue sky, a balmy afternoon that quickly flashed the snow away — leaving all the new spring colors wet and bright and alive. I hereby declare that to have been Mantilla de Maria, or “Mary’s mantle of lace.” James Nathan Post Daily Lobo reader

The University of New Mexico Student Publications Board is now Accepting Applications for Jessica Hill / AP Photo Colin Carlson, 13, left, and friend Eileen Underwood look at plants at the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Greenhouse at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Conn. on Tuesday. Carlson says the university is discriminating against him by barring him from traveling to South Africa for course work because of his age.
Teen sues UConn over age discrimination by Stephen Singer Associated Press
STORRS, Conn. — Even at 13, Colin Carlson believes he’s running out of time. Colin is a sophomore at the University of Connecticut, seeking a bachelor’s degree in ecology and evolutionary biology and another in environmental studies. But he’s been knocked off course by the university’s rejection of his request to take a class that includes summer field work in South Africa. He and his mother say university officials told them he is too young for the overseas course. So he’s filed an age discrimination claim with the university and U.S. Department of Education, which is investigating. “I’m losing time in my four-year plan for college,” he said. “They’re upsetting the framework of one of my majors.” Michael Kirk, a spokesman for UConn, would not comment on Colin’s case. But he said that generally, safety is the university’s first concern when travel is involved. The university would not let Colin enroll, even after his mother, Jessica Offir, offered to release UConn from liability and accompany her son as a chaperone at her own expense, she and Colin said. Colin was 2 or 3 when he began reading on his own, Offir said, and was up to Harry Potter by the time he was 4. An only child, he has faced trouble before because of his brainpower. His kindergarten teacher would not allow him to take books with him at nap time, and he was ridiculed by other children who fired math questions at him to entertain themselves, she said.
Housing
“You have no idea what kids like this experience,” Offir said. Colin skipped two grades in public school and began taking psychology, history and other courses at UConn when he was 9. He graduated from Stanford University Online High School at age 11, and soon after enrolled fulltime at UConn. “I’m actually like any other student,” he said. “The faculty and students have better things to do than worry about a 13-year-old holding his own.” Over the years, Colin, who said he is fascinated by natural ecosystems, has traveled extensively. He has gone sea kayaking off Nova Scotia and Ecuador, hiked in numerous national parks and, with his mother, has traveled across the U.S. by car. “It’s important to have a very wide world view,” he said. “Biology is fundamentally about the diversity of life, with a focus across the planet.” Colin says the course in conservation work in South Africa would have been critical to his studies and the rejection has forced him to change his thesis plans. He said that once he’s completed his undergraduate studies, he wants a Ph.D. in ecology and evolutionary biology and a degree in environmental law for a career in conservation science. He intends to earn the two degrees by age 22. Carl Schlichting, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology who has taught Colin in two courses, said he is not only an outstanding student, but is unusually certain for a 13-year-old about where he is headed professionally. “He has very strong ideas about what he wants to do,” he said. “His self-confidence is very high. It’s a

may be some impact on their neighborhood through the new housing program.” Expansion of residence halls on main campus is necessary according to a recent analysis of the fleet of dormitories on main campus, Murphy said. “The bottom line is that student affairs and independent consultants have both told the University administration that the number of beds is not adequate for a university of our size,” he said. “They told us we need more beds for students and that the style of accommodations that we currently have do not meet
the needs of today’s student.” Everyone interested in learning more about the expansion is encouraged to stop by any Thursday evening Murphy said, because new residence halls are necessary and input is wanted. “Our overall housing program is not very well integrated into an overall scheme,” he said. “It should allow students to occupy a certain kind of experience as a freshman and as they get to be sophomores and juniors they can have a different kind of experience that is more compatible with their needs.”
very unusual package to see the intellect and confidence at that age.” To be eligible to study abroad, students may not be on university probation or academic probation and must have earned a grade point average of at least a “C” — no problem for Colin, who’s an honor student with a near-perfect 3.9 GPA. The study abroad office and faculty member leading the trip ultimately decides who may go, Kirk said.

Tax

only make it more difficult for New Mexicans to survive the recession. “In our state, where there are already so many kids that go home hungry, it is a good thing we don’t have a food tax,” she said. The food tax was repealed in 2004 by the state legislature, and cities began receiving payment from the state to compensate for the annual loss of revenue. Richardson said it is not necessary to bring back the tax to balance the budget. “In 2004, I told New Mexicans that we eliminated the food tax forever, putting hundreds of dollars into the pockets of working families,” Richardson said. “I’m not about to open the door again and resurrect a tax on food that disproportionately hurts poor and middle-income families.” Atencio said resuming the food tax would be unfair. “I’ve always thought it was stupid, because they had already repealed it,” she said. “They haven’t had it for so long people got used to that.” The governor said he plans to use federal stimulus money, state reserve funds and increased cigarette taxes to patch the hole in the budget. If he is still unable to compensate for the loss of revenue, Richardson said he would use the authority granted to him this legislative session to cut funding to government agencies. Senate Majority Leader Michael Sanchez, a Democrat from Belen, said the governor’s decision was irresponsible, and unless the economy drastically improves the next governor will have to take severe action to balance future budgets. “The governor’s veto today puts the state’s financial future at even greater peril. His approach to balancing the budget relies heavily on
DL
general fund reserves and federal stimulus money,” Sanchez said in a statement Wednesday. “While this may work in the short term and carry him through the end of his term, these are one-time revenue sources.” UNM Sophomore Dylan Waters said he expects to see service cuts in the future because many state revenue sources have already been tapped. “They are probably going to cut things now. What else can they do?” he said. “We already have really high taxes on gas and cigarettes.” Sanchez said he was surprised by the governor’s lack of support because he had not expressed his intention to veto the bill during the special session. “Had he indicated three weeks ago that he would not support the legislation we would have taken a different approach,” Sanchez said. “At no time during the special session did he raise any objections. He was very clear about what he wouldn’t support which is why the legislative and executive compromise we crafted didn’t include an income tax increase or a requirement that all corporations pay their fair share of taxes.” Waters said it was dishonest for the governor to mislead lawmakers. “It is not fair to the House members who supported the bill to go back like that,” he said. “Especially because he is not up for re-election.” Atencio said vetoing the tax was a solid choice and using revenues from nonessential items like cigarettes was a better option for the community. “There is always going to be budget shortfalls,” she said. “But food isn’t something you should tax, because everyone needs to eat.”

QB coach looking to make name for himself by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo
David Reaves has been called Dan Reeves, but don’t jumble the two. Reaves is not to be confused with the famous NFL head coach, who led the Denver Broncos to three Super Bowl appearances in the 1980s and the Atlanta Falcons to the big game in the 1998 season. There should be no mix-up about who David Reaves is. He coaches and molds the minds of UNM football players who play the most pressure-ridden position: quarterback. “The number one thing is we have to have a great decision maker,” Reaves said. “Our guys have got to make the right decision with the football. You have got to protect the

Emanuel’s second win is a career milestone by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
Strip away a court, a ball and an arbitrary scoring system. Athletes are left with only one thing — raw competition. And there is no better example of that than in distance running exemplified by Lee Emanuel, who won the NCAA indoor title in the mile race on March 13 for the second year in a row with a time of 3:59.26. “It is a very satisfying sport to be in,” Emanuel said. “It’s kind of man-to-man — pushing your body against somebody else’s body to try to see how fast you can push yourself and try to beat someone.” Emanuel shot to the top of his sport last year with a 4:00.36 mile in the championship to claim the title. This year, he was burdened with the task of defending it. And not only did he succeed, he dominated at the Fayetteville, Ark. race. “I had the perfect season in the mile this year,” Emanuel said. “Nobody beat me. I beat everyone I raced — college students and noncollege people. And I had the fastest time and won (the national title). Last year it was kind of like I was the best on that one day. This year I think I was the best over the whole season. Obviously, it is very satisfying.” But the satisfaction comes at the finish line. Emanuel said competitive running is a grueling task that everyone might not understand. “It is not the most enjoyable sport to train for,” Emanuel said. “I have to train twice a day, and I just got back from running for an hour and a half. So, you need a lot of determination to push you on, but I have very high targets for myself. And I know that if I want to achieve these targets, I

Emanuel won the NCAA indoor title in the mile race on March 13 for the second year in a row. have to be in peak fitness.” Head coach Joe Franklin said Emanuel has sacrificed a lot to reach maximum performance. “Absolutely. I would say it is all consuming,” Franklin said. “What he does right now is he goes to school, he runs, he sleeps, he eats. I think for him it is the competition that drives him.” Emanuel said he has the mile almost down to a science. “I’m at the point now that I know that I can run a four-minute mile,” Emanuel said. “I have run it three or four times now. I know exactly what time I have to go through each lap now. I am so used to doing it.”

the facts
Lately, Emanuel has been racing only against himself. In the championship race, Emanuel crossed the finish line a full 2.37 seconds in front of everyone else. And this season, he has perfected what won him the title last year — running from the front. It is a task that requires a pinnacle athlete, but if perfected it is almost impossible to lose — evidenced by Emanuel’s perfect record this year. “It is hard, because it takes a lot of effort,” Emanuel said. “You have to be in peak condition to be able to do it. But, if I am feeling good in the

Butler one game away from entering final four by Doug Alden Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Butler became the latest mid-major team to knock off a top seed in the NCAA tournament. Willie Veasley scored five of his 13 points during an 11-0 run down the stretch, and the Bulldogs rallied to upset No. 1 seed Syracuse 63-59 on Thursday night in the West Regional semifinals for their 23rd straight victory. The fifth-seeded Bulldogs (31-4) fought through Syracuse’s vaunted zone defense and kept the Orange (30-5) from getting their fast break going most of the night. Now, after reaching the regional finals for the first time in school history, Butler is one win from going home to Indianapolis for the Final Four. Gordon Hayward scored 17 points and started the celebration while dribbling out the clock after the Bulldogs forced Syracuse into its 18th turnover. Wes Johnson had 17 points and nine rebounds for the Orange, the second No. 1 seed to go down. Northern Iowa stunned top-ranked Kansas in the second round of the Midwest Regional last weekend. There were some mild boos — but not as many as you’d think — when the score was announced at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y., where West Virginia beat Washington in the East Regional semifinals. Most of the Orange fans were probably off watching the game at a local watering hole or in front of a high-def TV. And Cornell and Kentucky fans didn’t really care that much to boo yet another surprising result in this NCAA tournament. Scoop Jardine added 14 points and five assists and Andy Rautins
scored 15, including a 3-pointer to open the second half. That sent the Orange on a 15-4 run that gave them their first lead. But the sloppy Orange couldn’t overcome all their turnovers, and the 2-3 zone that so many wondered whether Butler could crack was no match for the Bulldogs’ sharp shooting in the final minutes after Syracuse had taken a 54-50 lead with 5:23 left. Ronald Nored hit a 3-pointer to cut the deficit to one, Matt Howard scored inside to put the Bulldogs back ahead and then Veasley got a fortunate bounce off the rim and backboard before his 3-pointer finally dropped through to put Butler up 58-54. Veasley added a tip-in on Butler’s next possession, and the Bulldogs held on. After leading by 12 in the first half, the Horizon League champions were in jeopardy of getting run over by the Orange as they recovered from a frustrating start. But Syracuse could never get its transition game going and the easy baskets weren’t there, thanks to the Bulldogs. Butler was just 6 for 24 from 3-point range, but the Bulldogs never stopped shooting from beyond the arc — and hustling back on defense. Syracuse had one good break late in the second half and it turned out to be the last. After a 3-pointer by Rautins put his team up 52-50, Johnson grabbed a defensive rebound and got the Orange off and running on the kind of fast break they flashed all season before getting stymied by Butler through the first 34 minutes. Johnson passed to Jardine, who got the ball down low to Kris Joseph

West Virginia-69, Washington-
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Clutching his right hand and writhing in pain on the court, West Virginia senior Da’Sean Butler allowed himself only two seconds to worry that his college career was over — and maybe the Mountaineers’ NCAA tournament run, too. When Butler realized the hurt was subsiding, he got up and went about his business in lifting the second-seeded Mountaineers to the East Regional final with a 69-56 win over 11th-seeded Washington on Thursday night. “Once I stood up, the one thing that was pretty numb was my hand, and I said, ‘All right, I’ll be fine,’” he said. He was, and so were the Mountaineers (30-6). Coach Bob Huggins’ team set a school record for victories, extended its winning streak to nine and advanced to the Elite Eight for the second time since 2005. Seeing Butler on the court, however, was a major scare for West Virginia, which was playing its first game without point guard Darryl Bryant, who broke his right foot in practice on Tuesday. Butler plays an even more critical role on the Mountaineers, as he’s their leading scorer who’s also hit six game-winning shots in the final seconds this season. “That was a very big sense of relief,” forward Kevin Jones said. “Something would really have to be wrong if he didn’t get up. Luckily, it wasn’t that. He got up and showed how tough he was.” Butler had his right hand
wrapped in ice in the Mountaineers’ locker room and said he’ll be ready to play Saturday. Jones led the Big East tournament champions with 18 points and eight rebounds, while Butler finished with 14 points and seven rebounds. Justin Holiday scored 14 and added eight rebounds for the Huskies (26-10), who were at a disadvantage after leading scorer Quincy Pondexter picked up his third foul with 4:27 left in the first half. Pondexter didn’t score his first basket until 2:30 into the second half, and finished with seven points. Kentucky-62, Cornell-45 SYRACUSE, N.Y. - John Wall and top-seeded Kentucky overcame an early deficit with a swarming defense, stopping Cornell’s captivating NCAA tournament run with a 62-45 win Thursday night in the East Regional semifinals. With much of the Carrier Dome crowd — and the country — pulling for an upset by the 12th-seeded Ivy Leaguers, Cornell bolted to a 10-2 lead in the opening minutes. But quickly, Wall and the Wildcats (35-2) displayed all the NBAcaliber talent that makes them a traditional powerhouse. Kentucky led 32-16 at halftime and made it 38-21 before Cornell (29-5) climbed back into it. Ahead by 40-34 with 5 1/2 minutes left, coach John Calipari’s team kept its composure and advanced to play No. 2 seed West Virginia on Saturday for a spot in the Final Four.

ball, great footwork, timing and all the fundamentals of the position. We’ve got to find a guy that can put the ball in the right place at the right time.” Reaves enters his first year as UNM’s quarterbacks coach and passing coordinator. He will replace Tee Martin on the Lobo sideline in 2010 after Martin bolted to Kentucky to take the vacant wide receivers’ coach for the Wildcats. While Reaves might not have the name Martin does, the word on the street is that he’s a pretty darn good college football coach. “This isn’t his first rodeo as a quarterbacks coach,” said UNM head football coach Mike Locksley. “Dave has done this for a while and the transition (has) been very smooth. He has worked for some pretty good coaches and has a good pedigree as a quarterback coach. I think our players have responded well to him. (He’s a) technician. He is a big guy on attention to detail, and that’s what you need from that position.” Reaves has worked under two of the most legendary head football coaches of all time. The 2001 Appalachian State graduate worked under both Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier at South Carolina for about 10 years. His experience with national-championship-winning head

Holloway sent the game into the first overtime by making three straight free throws after being fouled while shooting from behind the arc with 5 seconds left. Crawford led Xavier (26-7) with 32 points and Pullen led the Wildcats with 28, including eight in the second overtime.
from page 7 coaches is irreplaceable. And to win a Mountain West Conference title, Reaves said, the quarterback has to be the Lobos’ leader. “In this offense, you have to run the show,” he said. “It’s a no-huddle offense that makes all the calls on the line of scrimmage. The guys have done a good job. There is a lot of thinking and heads are swimming a little bit right now, but once we get this thing down, they will be a vocal leader out (on the field) for us.” Last year, Reaves worked under Lane Kiffin at Tennessee as the quarterback coach. Kiffin, after telling the university and its fans that he would be a Volunteer for some time, did just the opposite and left after only one season. Kiffin headed toward the warmer weather, a surrounding he is familiar with, and is now the head coach at his alma mater USC. He took almost his entire coaching staff to Los Angeles, but left Reaves in Knoxville, Tenn. Still, Reaves doesn’t care. He said he likes New Mexico and looks to resurrect the UNM football program. “It’s been good,” Reaves said. “It’s (my) first time, obviously, in New Mexico, and the staff has been wonderful. The people in the town that I have met have been great to me.”

for a dunk that put Syracuse up 54-50 with 5:23 left. The Orange didn’t score again until Jardine’s layup with 35 seconds remaining cut Butler’s lead to 61-56. Syracuse played again without center Arinze Onuaku, sidelined since the Big East tournament with a right quadriceps injury, and had to sit 6-foot-9 Rick Jackson when he
