Students create video game, profits go to charity by Victoria Carreon vcarreon@unm.edu
Instead of playing a video game, some students on campus are creating one that would benefit a charity for children with diabetes. About 30 students are working together to develop Alloy, a video game in which players create robots out of scrap metal in a barren wasteland. The assignment is for the capstone course in the Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media program, and dozens of volunteers are also pitching in work for the project. Once completed, the game will be available for free download online. Those who play the game will have the option of making a donation to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The earning potential of a video game was evident to the students in the IFDM course. But making profits that the students were allowed to keep would have been legally complicated because the game is being produced through the University, not independently. Profits would have been divided up between the school and the students working on it. Hannah Gillis, the game’s producer and a senior in the IFDM program, said the students decided to donate the proceeds to the foundation. “We wanted to capitalize on the opportunity with a good cause. We felt like JDRF was a good choice. My 6-year-old cousin was diagnosed with Type 1 (diabetes) about a year ago, and our director has family members with Type 1 as well, so JDRF was kind of close to heart.” Eric Geusz, another capstone student, enjoys playing real-time strategy games. He said he wanted the game to have replay value. The player develops the BuilderBot, which uses the

The game was created by students from the Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media Program for a capstone project. available materials to create new bots. The bots are then used to find power crystals that power other bots. The crystals are coveted, and the dynamic creates a “capture the flag” situation. Geusz said the robots in the game rely on juice pods to keep operating at top capacity, something similar to the insulin injections children with diabetes need. This was a small instance in which the game’s developers
could relate the disease to the game aside from the fundraising aspect. Students produce every aspect of the game — from the concept to the graphics, students are in charge. Gillis is in charge of setting deadlines and goals for game. An important aspect of her job is to ensure that people have a job that matches their capabilities. While most of the group’s leads are students in the
capstone course, the majority of the game’s developers are not. The basic programming was done using Unreal Development Kit, which creates the basic platform for the game. Gillis said that along with raising funds, the game’s developers are working on the Beta release of the game, which will come out on April 8. The live release for the game is April 21. The game will be available at AlloyVideoGame.com.

A former astronaut came to UNM to pitch the benefits of jobs in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Retired NASA astronaut Danny Olivas was chosen to be an astronaut in 1998 and is one of 13 Hispanics who have participated in NASA’s astronaut program. Olivas encouraged students to maintain passion as they pursue their careers in various fields, but especially careers in STEM fields. “Passion has to be deeply seated,” he said. “Look inside yourself. Find what passions you have. Work hard to better your skills and talents.” Olivas was a crew member in the STS-117 Atlantis and STS-128 Discovery missions. According to the NASA website, both missions included taking supplies to the International Space Station. UNM’s Engineering Student Services,
Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corporation, the Hispanic College Fund and others hosted the NASA Awareness Day on Friday at the Centennial Engineering Center on campus. Olivas was the keynote speaker. Marcos Valdez, the director of college student leadership for the Hispanic College Fund, said he wanted to help organize an event that would make students consider careers in the engineering field and at NASA. “The need for experts in the (STEM) fields is as great as it’s ever been,” he said. “The U.S. is severely lagging in the technological and innovation front in the global context. Thus, we need to inspire students to not only continue on to higher education, but for them to highly consider the STEM fields.” Olivas said a family trip to Johnson Space Center when he was a boy and seeing the rockets there motivated him to become an astronaut. “I wanted to be one of those rocket

engine parts,” he said. “I wanted to contribute to something bigger.” Valdez said because of Olivas’ drive and achievements, he is someone students can admire. “Dr. Olivas has accomplished much in life and serves as an impeccable role model for students of the younger generation,” he said. “His story of perseverance and following his passion sheds light on the opportunities that these students will hopefully explore.” Olivas said perseverance meant dedicating himself to his studies. He admitted he had failed some of his classes many times, but he was determined to get good grades. He urged the audience to be focused on the things that are important to them, be flexible because changes happen and be optimistic about the future. “Passion is not fleeting,” he said. “It is self-sustaining. When you believe it inside yourself, nothing is going to deter you.”

Professor developing portable radiation detector by Jacob Hall
jhall03@unm.edu UNM’s Physics and Astronomy Department is working on a hightech portable device that would track radioactive material and help prevent terrorism. Paul Schwoebel, research professor of physics and astronomy, is studying a neutron source, a machine that collects neutrons through nuclear fusion. Schwoebel said neutron sources are primarily used to detect radioactive material, such as highly enriched uranium or plutonium. Schwoebel said he is studying the device in hopes of designing one that is smaller, to the point that one person would be able to carry it. “The problem with this thing is that it’s so huge,” Schwoebel said. “There is
“There have been some cases in
the news of people smuggling highly enriched uranium or plutonium out of some of those northern European countries,” Schwoebel said. “There are a lot of classified cases of the same thing going on.” Schwoebel said the neutron source uses “active interrogation,” a kind of radiation sonar, irradiating potentially radioactive materials with the neutron source to stimulate a very small amount of nuclear fission that can be detected by the machine. “When you activate the neutron source, you send out a big pulse of neutrons and they just go everywhere in every direction,” Schwoebel said. “If the neutrons hit radioactive material, it induces fission, and then you just listen with detectors and you’ll see a burst of radiation come out. It makes it light up like a Christmas tree.”
The neutron source at UNM costs about $100,000. Schwoebel is creating custom-made parts in the astronomy department’s machine shop and electric shop, but said the shop is outdated and not prepared to handle high-tech, delicate machinery. “We have equipment here that breaks all the time and a lot of it is old equipment,” Schwoebel said. “And so we need the people who work in the machine shop and electric shop. A lot of the faculty here feels the same way, because they also use equipment that is old.” Schwoebel said not everyone is as excited for the neutron source to be used in the field as others. “The public concern of using a neutron source to irradiate a cargo hold to learn whether or not highly enriched uranium is being smug-
gled is the fact that people might be in the cargo hold being smuggled as well,” Schwoebel said. “But a neutron source emits such low levels of radiation that it is like getting an X-ray. That’s kind of a controversial aspect of all of this.” Schwoebel said he hopes to design a neutron source that is compact, reliable, reasonably priced and durable. “A system like that, as it exists today, does not put out a lot of neutrons and so aren’t very useful,” he said. “The only ones that put out enough neutrons to be of any use are in a lab and are far too large to be carried by one person. You need to put out enough neutrons so that you can stimulate enough radioactivity in the material that you’re looking for so that you can see something.”
became one of the world’s most prominent prisoners of conscience. When she was finally released in late 2010, just after a vote her party boycotted that was deemed neither free nor fair, few could have imagined she would make the leap from democracy advocate to elected official in less than 17 months, opening the way for a potential presidential run in 2015. But Myanmar has changed dramatically over that time. The junta finally ceded power last year, and although many of its leaders merely swapped their military uniforms for civilian suits, they went on to stun even their staunchest critics by releasing political prisoners, signing cease-fires with rebels, relaxing press censorship and opening a direct dialogue with Suu Kyi — whom they tried to silence for decades. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton congratulated Myanmar for holding the poll. Speaking at a news conference in Istanbul, Turkey, she said Washington was committed to supporting the nation’s reform effort. “Even the most repressive regimes can reform, and even the most closed societies can open,” she said. The topdown revolution has left Myanmar befuddled and wondering how it happened — or at least, why now? One theory says the military-backed regime had long been desperate for legitimacy and lifting of Western sanctions, and its leadership had quietly recognized that their impoverished country, formerly known as Burma, had fallen far behind the rest of skyscraper-rich Asia. On the street in Yangon where Suu Kyi’s opposition National
League for Democracy maintains its crumbling three-story headquarters, none of that seemed to matter Sunday. The party’s foray into electoral politics was its first since 1990 — when it won a landslide that was promptly annulled by the army. “It’s the people’s victory! We’ve taught them a lesson!” said a shopkeeper who goes by the single name Thien, who was among a crowd of thousands watching as a digital signboard repeatedly flashed news that Suu Kyi won the Kawhmu constituency south of Yangon. The crowds swelled as night fell, blocking traffic on the road. Some chanted “We won! We won!” Others clapped, danced, waved party flags and held their fingers aloft in V-for-victory signs. One official party message even told them not to gloat.
As results came in Sunday night from the poll watchers of Suu Kyi’s party, spokesman and campaign manager Nyan Win projected the opposition would secure most of the vote, winning 40 of 45 parliamentary seats at stake. Those included four in the capital, Naypyitaw, considered a stronghold of the ruling party whose leaders helped build it. The opposition had contested 44 seats. Other opposition party members, who asked not to be identified because they were waiting to verify some returns, said they achieved a clean sweep of all the contested seats. The results must be confirmed by the government’s electoral commission, however, which has yet to release any outcome and may not make an official declaration for days.
no way that one person, or even a couple of guys, could carry it around for it to be of any use in the field.” Schwoebel’s research is funded through the Department of Energy. He receives $160,000 a year from the department which hopes to produce portable neutron sources that would allow agents guarding the borders of countries to reliably search cargo. Schwoebel said unlike some radiation sources, which give off high levels of radiation that are easily detectable, uranium is harder to detect, making it difficult for law-enforcement agents to track using Geiger counters.
Uranium and plutonium give off only alpha particles, not alpha and beta particles, hence the need for special equipment to detect these materials, he said.
Dissident claims victory in Myanmar election by Aye Aye Win and Todd Pitman
The Associated Press YANGON, Myanmar — She struggled for a free Myanmar for a quarter-century, much of it spent locked away under house arrest. Now, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate whose nonviolent campaign for democracy at home transformed her into a global icon is on the verge of ascending to public office for the first time. Aung San Suu Kyi, 66, was elected to parliament Sunday in a historic victory buffeted by the jubilant cheers of supporters who hope her triumph will mark a major turning point in a nation still emerging from a ruthless era of military rule. If confirmed, the election win will also mark an astonishing reversal of fortune for a woman who

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: The Bernalillo County Commission unanimously voted on March 13 to offer UNM $1.5 million not to build on the 80acre UNM North Golf Course for the next 25 years. Should UNM accept the proposal? Yes, we need to keep the course so that students and community members can enjoy it by playing golf, running or walking there.
42%
Yes, it’s one of the few green areas left in Albuquerque and it will offset the pollution created by so many cars in Albuquerque.
28%
No, UNM needs to be able to build on that land to provide more space for classrooms.
4%
No, UNM should develop the property or sell it off for revenue and reduce tuition and fees.

THIS WEEK’S POLL:
The Supreme Court is debating the constitutionality of the President Obama’s health care law, particularly a part of the law that states almost all Americans need to either buy insurance by 2014, or pay a penalty. Should the Supreme Court strike down the law? Yes, this country was founded on freedom and forcing people to buy insurance violates that freedom. Yes, the law is one step closer to a socialized health care system, and that will bring down the overall quality of health care in the U.S. and turn U.S. health care into a bureaucratic nightmare. No, we’re forced to pay for roads, schools, social programs and wars through our tax dollars, so why is being forced to buy insurance a violation of the Constitution? No, the law reforms the nation’s health care policies in ways that ensure greater access to affordable health care, an imperative change in the right direction.

Tabone’s madness has political method by Jason Darensberg Daily Lobo Columinst
I recently spoke with resident Daily Lobo cartoonist Juan Tabone for his take on the controversy surrounding his strip. Jason Darensburg: How long have you been a cartoonist and who or what are your major influences? Juan Tabone: I’ve been consciously cartooning since middle school. I started gagstrip work, à la “Doonesbury” and “Calvin and Hobbes,” in high school and political/editorial cartooning in the 1990s. Influences? Pat Oliphant, he pulls no punches. Tom Toles and Jack Ohman. G.B. Trudeau of “Doonesbury” and Bill Waterson of “Calvin and Hobbes” are major influences. JD: America is adrift politically, culturally and spiritually. These should be golden years for you. Are political cartoons a dying art form? JT: Corruption of our political process by money and corporations means that journalism in its classic “watchdog”, muck-raking role on a mass level is dying as well. Six corporations own almost all of the major media outlets in all major markets. As for cartooning being a dying art form, it could be — if the bullies of this world have their way, certainly an outlawed art form. However, people will always use satire to skewer the powerful and their lickspittles. I agree there’s currently a lot of material to work with. It’s like shooting three-eyed, radioactive fish in a lead-lined barrel. JD: Do you feel as if you are performing a service to society? Is it a sense of duty? How do you view your impact on the UNM community? JT: Wow, way to ennoble me. Cartooning out of a sense of duty … well, it does serve as a form of therapy. As Trudeau said, political cartoonists are just frustrated assassins. Who knows? Maybe one of my cartoons online caused that blogging, lying, thug (Andrew) Breitbart to vapor-lock and drop dead. If so, I happily accept full credit. My impact on UNM is probably minimal at best. I’m sure I ruffle feathers, raise eyebrows and occasionally get some Fox-watching, Bible-thumper to think — if only for a moment. Again, the fact that newspaper readership is way down guarantees my work is probably seen by far fewer Lobo readers than 10 years ago. JD: What is it about your strip that angers certain people? JT: The past 30 years has seen the rise of right-wing bullies, goons and thugs. These bul-
lies think they have the right to dictate terms to the rest of us. They feel they’re entitled to define “morality” in the public arena for private matters, in order to justify their existence. So when I draw a cartoon that points up their hypocrisy and stupidity and bloodies their nose, they do what bullies do: they cry “victim” and claim that they are being “persecuted” for their religious beliefs. If they are literally being rounded up and marched into camps, they might have a case. But until then, they’re just a bunch of crybabies throwing temper tantrums because the Constitution rightfully kicks their self-serving asses out of government — while protecting their religious freedoms in the bargain. JD: Is there an overall theme that defines your work? JT: “Afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted.” And if possible, be funny doing it. JD: Above all, your strip is funny. Why do you think it’s so difficult for some people to laugh at themselves? JT: Well, sacred cows make the tastiest steaks. Today’s Bible-thumping, flag-waving bullies take themselves way too seriously. Not surprising, as they’ve been given free reign for the past 30 years. They’re so full of themselves that anybody who dares puncture their balloons of lies and character assassination with those irritating things known as facts really pisses them off. For example, it’s fine for them to cheer on candidates who call our first African-American president the “Food-Stamp President,” or media pigs who refer to women who stand up for their right to medical privacy as “sluts.” However, god forbid anybody ever call them out on it. Then, of course, it’s time to claim their “victim status,” that they’re being “persecuted.” Finally, they’re humorless because if they ever stopped judging everyone else, they’d be forced to actually look at themselves. Then they might have to own the fact that they’ve been collaborating with corrupt politicians, the rich and corporations to turn our democracy into a police-state/plutocracy like Chile under Pinochet. JD: Is America losing its sense of humor? Do you think people “get it?” Why is it important to mock authority? JT: Overall, I think people in this country have a good sense of humor. The only danger would be that people might confuse the mocking of authority and corporate power as a substitute for confronting authority. As Woody Allen once said, “A satirical piece in the Times is one thing, but bricks
and baseball bats really get the point across.” Mocking authority helps people know that they are not alone in feeling the way that they do about their government and the corporations that own it. It also reminds the powerful that they are being watched. But before I break my arm patting myself on the back, I have to add that it is not all about me. My ability to reach people wouldn’t be possible if I didn’t have strong editors backing me and my work up. Sure, I know my work can be offensive to some, frivolous and obnoxious to others, and scary to the editor who has to deal with the hate mail. But that’s the nature of the beast. Opinions, especially those that challenge the “conventional wisdom” are always going to offend somebody. For example, one cartoon I drew for the Daily Lobo chastised the Albuquerque Police Department for shooting mentally unstable people. In the end, my editors and I wound up not only being covered locally, but even in USA Today for defending the First Amendment and my right to satirically question police policy. All this was while APD was threatening to “buy up” our advertising and shut us down. We eventually won that battle because my editors had the guts to run the cartoon and stand by me and the role of the press to question authority. Sure, they were scared, but they didn’t let that stop them from doing the right thing. The moment any element of the media stops questioning the status quo, they become stenographers for the powerful. JD: Throughout history, humor, satire and political cartoons have been effective tools in exposing injustice and hypocrisy in society. Do you feel you are carrying on a tradition? JT: Yes, I suppose I am. These days cartooning and even working for a print newspaper seems to be becoming obsolete. Sadly, the future for actual journalists is grim until Internet news sites start paying what newspapers have paid. That is to say, instead of recycling stories from other websites or having writers only work as freelance contributors. So, actual newspaper journalism and the staff cartoonist as a career may pass into history. I hope not. The service an open and independent press provides to society is crucial to the survival of a democracy. Finally, cartooning for a University paper, like the Daily Lobo, has and does offer me the chance to express myself with unrestrained glee. After all, as an editor of mine once said to me, “If you can’t run it in a college paper, where can you?”

NEW DIGS by Jeffrey Hertz hertzjeffrey@yahoo.com The SRC commons construction project that began Feb. 23 is part of a multi-stage project intended to create more workspace for students and faculty. The construction, stretching over the course of the spring semester, is one of many small projects which began a year ago when new furnishings and carpet were installed on the upper level of the building. Walt Miller, associate vice president of Student Life, said the expansion will create more “getaway” space for students who want to study in a more private environment. The new, modern look will include the expansion of the lounge/study area on the second floor as well as the addition of two new large monitors, one in the commons and the other behind the front desk. The monitors will announce UNM current events and Residence Life and Student Housing programming. They are intended to help orient new students living in the dorms and keep students informed about events and activities happening on campus. Wayne Sullivan, Residence Life and Student Housing manager, said the expected cost of the project will total $225,000. It is expected to be completed by the beginning of May.

Spring brings win over NAU
Ruby Santos / Daily Lobo Senior Carl Ho returns a serve during a Northern Arizona University last Friday at the Linda Estes Tennis Complex. Ho and the Lobos dominated the visiting Lumberjacks 6-1.
by Michael Warren
The Lobos rode the wave of momentum into the singles matches, winning all but one. In the No. 1 singles match, Phillips defeated Robin Pezzutto in two sets. The second set was tightly contested and went to a tiebreaker before Phillips was able to take it from the visibly frustrated Pezzutto, 7-6. “My opponent played a different style than most players,” Phillips said. “He wanted to come to the net, so I tried to take that away from him. I also tried to keep him off balance. That’s how I was able to get under his skin.” In the No. 2 match, Lobo senior Ben Dunbar defeated Waters in two sets, losing just three games during the match. The No. 3 match was the Lobos’ only loss. Freshman Samir Iftikhar lost in three sets to Bermudez. The win extended Bermudez’s win streak to five, solidifying his position as NAU’s leading singles player. The No. 4 match marked Anderson’s first singles match win since his return from injury. He

Lobo Winners!
Perfect weather and perfect play came together for the men’s tennis team on Friday at the Linda Estes Tennis Complex. UNM beat Northern Arizona University 6-1, in a game played outside in ideal weather conditions. “It was great playing outside,” head coach Alan Dils said. “We had great weather and we did a good job against Northern Arizona. I’m happy with how the match went.” UNM got off to a strong start by sweeping the three doubles matches, to earn the doubles point. The highlight of the doubles was the reunion of nationally ranked pair junior Jadon Phillips and senior Phil Anderson. The pair won their match 8-2, defeating NAU’s Shaun Waters and Dominic Bermudez. “This was my first match in a while, since I was out due to injury,” Anderson said. “I felt like I came out a little tight, but we fought through it and we fought well. I love playing with Jadon.”
defeated Lumberjack Robert Martin. In the No. 5 match, UNM senior Carl Ho extended his singles winning streak to eight by defeating NAU’s Trevor Unger in two sets. “I’m actually surprised it is only eight, because it seems like he is winning every time he is out there,” Dils said. “He is doing a fantastic job. I think he can carry this win over to San Diego State and UNLV.” The No. 6 match was perhaps the most one-sided of the day, as Lobo sophomore Mads Hegelund crushed Lumberjack Josh Levinson in two sets. In the two sets, Hegelund lost just two games. The Lobos have a three-game road trip ahead of them. They play San Diego State on Friday. The team won’t play at home again until April 15 for its last home match against Boise State. “To think that Boise State will be my last match at home … it’s hard to wrap my mind around it just yet,” Anderson said.

Alumni fall to current crew by Brandon Call bcall@unm.edu
The volleyball team’s off-season seems more on than off. The Lobos kicked off their spring schedule last Thursday with a 3-1 win in the annual alumni game. UNM outlasted its alumni counterparts — who donned uniforms with the phrase “has-beens� on them — for a 25-16, 25-23, 25-20, and a 17-25 win. “The difference in the match was our passing,� head coach Jeff Nelson said. “Ashley Newman had a great match, and Chatale Riddle was flying all over the place with big blocks and big kills. I was pleased with the way our young kids stepped up and stayed tough.� The alumni team included former All-Americans Jeanne Fairchild, Allison Buck, Taylor Hadfield and Pauline Manser — who is the program’s only twotime All-American and a former Olympian. Nelson said given the amount of talent across the net, he was especially excited for his team to come out with the win.
“They had a really good squad, and I thought we might take one on the chin,� he said. “They were big and physical and really a great group to compete against.� UNM followed it up by hosting an eight-team tournament on Saturday, competing against teams from Adams State, New Mexico Military Institute, New Mexico Highlands, New Mexico State, UTEP and Texas Tech. “Overall, this weekend was a great learning experience for our team,� Nelson said. “Other than a few missteps, I thought we played some pretty good volleyball.� Nelson said his Lobos are picking up where they left off last season. The Lobos finished their 2011 campaign 14-15, but are showing signs of improvement. The Lobos capped off their weekend with a 2-0 win over instate rival NMSU. “The Aggies are a great program, and they have some great athletes,� Nelson said. “They beat us in the fall. To be able to beat them here, I think, will give us some confidence heading into the rest of our spring schedule.�
The Lobos will travel twice to spring tournaments hosted by other schools; on April 7 to New Mexico State and April 14 to Colorado State. Red-shirt freshman setter Hannah Johnson said spring practice is the time when the team can bond. “It’s a chance for our team to come together and get the feel for playing with each other,� she said. “We’re losing three amazing senior leaders to graduation, and it’s time for other people to step up and fill their big shoes.� The Lobos’ spring schedule culminates in the fifth annual Grass Bash, hosted on April 21 and 22 on Johnson Field, which is a chance for the community to compete against Lobo players. All proceeds benefit the UNM Children’s Hospital and the Jeanne Fairchild Endowed Scholarship. Johnson said she’s heard great things about the event and can’t wait to partake in her first Grass Bash. “It’s all for charity — I think that’s the best part,� Johnson said. “To be able to play volleyball all day and raise money for a good cause at the same time, that seems like a great combination.�
bottom ninth inning, Texas scored, to take the game 2-1. On Saturday against Texas, both teams scored two runs each in the first inning. Going into the sixth, the score was tied at two. The Longhorns then exploded offensively with five runs, to win 7-3. In the late game, the Lobos again fell to Tulsa, 2-1. Neither team scored in the first five innings, but both added a run in the sixth. Tulsa
scored one run in the seventh and final inning to win. On Sunday, in its third game against Texas, the Lobos could still find no way to get a victory. Texas held UNM to just two hits and posted one run in the fourth and four in the sixth, to win 5-0. The four straight losses take UNM to 22-10, which will drop them out of the national rankings.
Football Club in this year’s Major League Soccer supplemental draft, competed for the U-18 national team when he first came to UNM. Fishbein said attending a camp like this will give Rogers some valuable experience and see what the next level is like. “It’s great for him,� he said. “It’s great exposure for us and we like to think that we have helped prepare him to succeed at that level.� Fishbein said Rogers can use
this camp to hopefully make the roster for the upcoming U-20 World Cup qualifiers. “I am really excited for James and am confident that he will impress the National Team Staff,� Fishbein said. “James has worked very hard to earn this honor and will not take this opportunity lightly. James is a tremendous representative of our University and soccer program.� Daily Lobo

Weekly Horoscopes by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu
Put me down. Capricorn—You may begin to feel pan-
icky this week if you aren’t getting the security you need from a significant other, or anyone else you rely on for occasional moral support. There are certainly people there for you, but you don’t like that lately you’ve had to coax them into offering what little time you ask of them. Without being passiveaggressive, detach and distract yourself as best as you can. They’ll come around soon enough, and meanwhile you won’t have squandered your precious time. Aquarius—“It’s the time of the season for loving,” as The Zombies say. There are signs of life everywhere now that the worst of winter has yielded a blossoming springtime. You may be feeling nostalgic, just like your good old self again. This frisky outlook on life will welcome plenty of positive feedback as well as a fling, or relationship, whatever you might be looking for. If you’ve got responsibilities to tend to, try not to get too carried away as you tend to keep your head in the clouds at this time. Pisces—It’s tempting to blame your stormy moods on anyone but yourself. You don’t necessarily need to punish yourself, but simply accepting responsibility puts you in the position to change the way you feel. Take this a step further and you realize the power you have to create yourself as any kind of person you wish to be but have told yourself is impossible due to elements outside your control. This can be an exciting time in your life if change is what you’ve been seeking, as long as you take the reins. Aries—Things are looking up for you, especially in the romance department. You may have been quite sulky since January, as your passive search for companionship has led you nowhere. If you want to spice up your social life, all you need to do is open yourself up and demand everyone’s attention. This is what you do best, though for some reason you’ve tried your hardest to erase it from your character. Start hav-
ing fun, stop judging yourself and don’t fret over who you aren’t — learn to love who you are. Taurus—You may feel that you’ve come to a dead end, but it is truly just the beginning. This may be an uncomfortable period for you in which you are antsy for solid ground and clear answers. Similar to withdrawal symptoms, giving in to your old ways will keep you from growing. Keep a positive outlook and you’ll begin to see why this is all happening and what it means. First, you must learn to let go and then you can fully experience what the cosmos have in store for you. Gemini—This week for you is like having too much caffeine before you go to sleep then lying there as the buzzing energy tries to restore life to your dead-tired body. The world is calling for you, not because you are necessary but because there are so many doors opening for you. You need to figure out what is keeping you from approaching them because more than likely it’s unreasonable and potentially a regrettable deterrent. Knock the chip off your shoulder and kick yourself back into gear. Cancer—You’re not one to let a roaming eye carry you too far off the path, be it a binding romance or a goal you’re pursuing. Venus passes into whimsical Gemini on Tuesday, lending your demeanor a childlike innocence. Liable as you become to lose interest in anything less than fanciful, you should do your best to either take care of all responsibilities well ahead of deadline, plan them out in manageable increments or cancel what you can afford to. Leo—If you feel you’ve been missing out on life, take a step into the spotlight. You do amazing work when you know people are watching and more so when there’s pressure to succeed. Your aim is to impress, so if you’re looking for something to pull you from under the proverbial rock all you need is to put yourself in a position in which others are expecting a great deal from you. Mind you, there must be a chance of success or this could be a terrible blow to your ego, but don’t be afraid to
challenge yourself.
Virgo—Whatever you do this week, do
not press the panic button. If you give in, the negative energy will touch everyone around you, making it a higher pressure situation than the circumstances call for. Have a mantra in mind for when you feel you’re about to lose control or an eventempered friend to call, anything to put things back into perspective. If you keep things cool you reward yourself with a cleared plate, leaving you time to channel this frenetic energy into pursuits you find worthwhile. Libra—This is a harmonious time for you in which interactions are especially productive and comforting. If you have a mate already, expect the relationship to be taken to a new level of intimacy. Not necessarily something confining, but there are opportunities to get to know each other more closely. Where work and school are concerned, your writing will be on the mark and conversations with bosses or professors shed the light you’ve needed on your accomplishments and potential. Scorpio—Any relationships, platonic, romantic or professional, that you started in the last month or so may seem suddenly burdensome this week. If you can be sure they haven’t changed in a way that makes you itch so, be certain there is something stirring within you. Perhaps you feel you’re missing out on an opportunity for something greater. If the new relationship is easy to cut off, you might see how far into space you can chase your dreams, go after the ultimate of your desires and dreams. Sagittarius—As Venus leaves Taurus on Tuesday, you will quickly drop the sullen attitude you’ve adopted this past month toward your personal and social life. It’s amazing what a change in perspective can do for one’s prospects. You’ll find that with a little digging, the gold will present itself as if it was just begging you to discover it. When good things come this easy, make sure you don’t get too carried away with the fun it buys; there are more substantial things to be had.

FOOTBALL
Davie’s new style leaves men less nervous by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com Five spring football practices down, head coach Bob Davie said he is seeing improvement in his team. The players no longer seem as nervous as they did during the first few practices, he said. “You know the first day we were out here, I wondered if we would ever be able to complete a ball (pass),” he said. “I think the big part of it was just the jitters, early on. They are learning a complete new terminology both offensively and defensively.” Davie is teaching a different style of play to both the offense and defense, and said it’s going to take time get the team up to speed on what he wants. He said right now, the offense is looking much better than the defense. “I think the offense, if anybody was keeping score right now, which we’re not, is ahead of the defense,” he said. “The defense, I think, schematically, is at a disadvantage. As the offense puts a lot of that stuff in, the defense really has a hard time keeping up with that.” Senior quarterback B.R. Holbrook said a majority of the offensive players have played together already. “We have been with these guys for four years now,” he said. “It’s exciting to go into this fifth year and have that chemistry and know where they are going to be and the type of routes they are going to run.” Senior tight end Lucas Reed is one of those returning members to the offense. Last season he struggled, with just 22 catches for 241 yards. Reed said he has already

The Lobos’ spring practices are in full swing under the guidance of new head football coach Bob Davie. seen a major improvement from where the offense was last season, though. “It feels like we are getting a lot of work done,” he said. “I saw it definitely today. We had about 20 plays today where it was perfect, no self-inflicted mistakes, and you can definitely tell we are improving.”
Davie was adamant at the beginning spring practice that he had no definite starters already picked, but said if the season started tomorrow, Holbrook would be the starting quarterback. “I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves, but it’s pretty obvious to me right now if we … played today, B.R. Holbrook is ahead of the
other quarterbacks,” he said. Holbrook was the starting quarterback last season and played in 11 games. He finished last season 141-236, for 1490 yards and four touchdowns. He also threw seven interceptions. Holbrook has been working with new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Bob
DeBesse this spring and he said he has enjoyed what DeBesse has taught him so far. “It’s been a good experience,” Holbrook said. “He (DeBesse) is bringing a new set of ideas and techniques to the table and it’s good to learn from him and see what he has to offer.”

Freshman James Rogers kicks a ball during a game against Cal State Bakersfield last season. Rogers has been chosen as part of a group of soccer players under the age of 20 to attend the United States Soccer Team’s national camp next week. Daily Lobo file photo
James Rogers has a unique opportunity to represent the United States, a country he has been a citizen of for two weeks. Rogers, a freshman forward on the men’s soccer team, was selected to attend the U-20 United States national team camp next week in Portland, Ore. Rogers was born in Sierra Leone and moved to the United States in 2004, but two weeks ago was granted citizenship of the United States. He said all of his hard work is starting to pay off. “I’ve worked for many years to be given the opportunity to represent the United States in international competition,” Rogers said. “I feel blessed to finally get the call up.” The camp is composed of the best professional and college soccer players across the country who are under the age of 20. It is in preparation for the upcoming qualifying games for the 2013 U-20 World Cup, in Turkey. Head UNM coach Jeremy Fishbein said Rogers has been on U.S. soccer’s radar, but couldn’t participate until he was granted citizenship. Rogers played in all 22 of UNM’s games, and started in 19. He had three goals and five assists last season, and two of his goals
