Med school: students are thankful for every body

Discolored water leaves campus high and dry

by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo

Discolored water prompted the UNM Physical Plant Department to shut off UNM’s well-water source Tuesday and use city water instead.

The University issued an emergency notification text message about the problem at 10:43 a.m. and sent an e-mail at 10:44 a.m. The notification warned against “drinking or using any tap water on campus until further notice by request of Physical Plant Department.”

Mary Vosevich, director of the

Physical Plant Department, said a sample of the water was sent to a lab for testing to find the cause for the discoloration. Vosevich said they should get the results back today. Until then, UNM will be using city water.

“We will run off city water, which we do occasionally anyway,” she said.

“We are having the water tested, and once we have the results of the test, we’ll know more about what caused the discoloration.”

At 4:30 p.m., PPD sent out an alert that said campus housing and food service areas had full water service. At 8:20 p.m., PPD sent out another alert

GPSA candidate reveals campaign fund sources

by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo

GPSA Presidential Candidate Martin Gutierrez has received $500 in campaign donations so far, according to data he posted on his website Tuesday evening.

Gutierrez posted the information more than 24 hours after the GPSA council passed a resolution encouraging candidates to submit a list of campaign contributions and expenses.

He said the report was late for three reasons: First, he said he didn’t receive notice from the council about its recommendation until Monday.

Second, he said he had to get permission from his contributors to print their names and, third, he said he

clearing all residence halls for water use and said the rest of the campus should be cleared some time this morning.

Vosevich said a PPD employee discovered the discolored water while doing maintenance work Tuesday morning. She said that UNM switched to city water instead of the well water UNM normally uses. After all pipes are done being flushed, the water will be safe to drink again, she said, and UNM will send another emergency notification message of this.

“Just like in your home, there would be water in the lines, and we

have to get the water out of that,” Vosevich said. “We’re doing that to all the buildings now, and the water that’s coming in behind that is city water.”

Joel Straquadine, UNM safety officer, said the UNM community should not use tap water, even to wash hands.

“We’re not recommending anyone uses the water at this time,” he said.

“We are still trying to make a determination about what caused the water to turn color.”

Straquadine said that the city water will be available soon.

Inside the fanny pack were three pictures of her favorite dogs, several revoked driver’s licenses (she was legally blind) and a taped-up card, its lamination peeling at the corners.

“My body has been donated to the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, Albuquerque, New Mexico,” the card reads. “I request that immediately after my death and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, UNM be notified by telephone at …”

Gutierrez said receiving donations for a GPSA presidential candidacy brings the election to a new level.

news in brief

Paranoid gunman kills hospital worker, self KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — A mentally ill gunman who killed a hospital worker and wounded two others was upset with a doctor he thought had implanted a monitoring device during an appendectomy in 2001, police said Tuesday.

Knoxville Police Chief Sterling Owen IV said gunman Abdo Ibssa first entered a medical tower near Parkwest Medical Center and asked for the doctor who performed the appendectomy. After being told the doctor wasn’t there, Ibssa went to another area where patients are discharged and opened fire with a revolver.

He killed himself after shooting the three women who work at the hospital on Monday, a day before his 39th birthday.

“There was less than 5 seconds from the time of the first shot until the last shot,” Owen said at a news conference.

Investigators found a note at Ibssa’s Knoxville apartment in which the gunman said the doctor had implanted a chip that was being used to track his movements, Owen said.

Military retirees: obesity a national security threat WASHINGTON — Too fat to fight?

Many American children are so overweight from being fed french fries, pizza and other unhealthy foods at school lunchrooms that they cannot handle the physical rigors of being in the military, a group of retired officers say in a new report.

National security is threatened by the sharp rise in obesity rates for young people over the last 15 years, the group Mission: Readiness contends. Weight problems are now the leading medical reason that recruits are rejected, the group says, and thus jeopardize the military’s ability to fill its ranks.

In a report released Tuesday, the group says that 9 million young adults, or 27 percent of all Americans ages 17 to 24, are too fat to join the military. The retired officers were on Capitol Hill advocating for passage of a wide-ranging nutrition bill that aims to make the nation’s school lunches healthier.

The military group acknowledges that other things keep young adults out of the armed services, such as a criminal record or the lack of a high school diploma.

Although all branches of the military now meet or exceed recruitment goals, retired Navy Rear Adm. James Barnett Jr., a member of the officers group, says the obesity trend could affect that.

Obama in talks with possible court nominees WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has begun conversations with potential Supreme Court nominees, a senior administration official said Tuesday, signaling an upswing in the president’s consideration of an already coalescing list of candidates.

Obama’s review will throttle ahead on Wednesday morning when he meets privately with the top Democrat and Republican in the Senate along with the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, the panel that will hold confirmation hearings on Obama’s nominee.

The president’s nomination is expected in the next few weeks.

Obama’s discussions with candidates for the high court have not been formal interviews, the administration official emphasized, speaking on condition of anonymity to protect the privacy of Obama’s deliberations.

Denish draws fresh ideas, donations

by Jeremy Faulkner and Leah Valencia Daily Lobo

Young professionals and students from UNM flocked to meet and mingle with city and state politicians at the Banque Lofts in downtown Albuquerque on Friday night.

More than 100 guests attended the young professionals fundraiser for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Lt. Gov. Diane Denish. The night gave students and professionals an opportunity to question state and local Democratic politicians and become more involved in their community.

Denish said it was important for her to pick the brains of young people and politicos to understand their needs and opinions.

“What we do affects their future,” she said. “When I say I want all the stakeholders at the table, that is not generation specific; that is all generations.”

Community member Julianna Koob said this type of event is designed to get young people involved in political decisions.

“Politics can feel unapproachable sometimes,” she said. “These kind of events are low key and they make becoming politically involved a lot more accessible and easier to enter.”

Denish said the creative ideas of Albuquerque’s young professionals

and UNM graduates have already improved the state’s economy.

“Technology, the film industry, alternative energy — those ideas are always rooted in the young professional community,” she said. “People that are fearless will take the risks to become our entrepreneurs.

They are our workforce.”

Denish’s campaign staff requested a donation of $25 per person, and the event raised more than $2,500. Denish’s campaign reported that 4,893 of the 8,400 contributions the lieutenant governor received in the last finance cycle — October 6 through April 5 — were $100 or less, which points to strong grassroots support.

Denish faces no opposition in the Democratic primary on June 1.

However, she will compete with five Republicans — Janice Arnold-Jones, Pete Domenici Jr., Susana Martinez, Doug Turner and Allen Weh. Denish’s campaign finance reports show that she raised about $1.1 million, spent $715,755 and reported about $2.5 million cash on hand, which puts her far ahead of her Republican opponents.

Martinez raised more funds than any of the other Republican candidates, excluding personal loans. The Las Cruces district attorney raised $428,064, spent $194,809 and ended the reporting period with $363,913 cash on hand.

Martinez’s campaign said in a

press release that 95 percent of Martinez’s 1,300 contributions came from outside Las Cruces, and 83 percent of her total contributions have been for $100 or less. However, $100,000 of Martinez’s contributions came from Mack Energy Corp., an Artesia oil and gas company.

Weh raised $691,003, with $500,000 of that coming as a loan from Weh to his own campaign, according to the New Mexico Secretary of State’s Office.

Doug Turner reported raising $400,771, Pete Domenici Jr. $372,107 and Janice Arnold-Jones $164,586, according the Secretary of State’s Office. Each of these candidates reported loans from themselves to their campaigns totaling about $322,928.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Tea Party movement has bolstered conservative support, but Republican candidates have nationally raised 37 percent less in contributions than their Democratic counterparts.

manager of Bio Care, Inc., with three counts of felony fraud for mishandling human remains. According to the Albuquerque Journal, assorted body parts turned up at a medical waste plant in Kansas City, and investigators found remains of donors who were supposed to have been cremated and returned to loved ones.

Since then, one person out of 3,000 has withdrawn from the list of UNMH’s would-be donors, Estenson said.

“Someone is thinking about donating their body, and then they remember these headlines about seven heads in a bucket in Kansas City,” he said. “They say, ‘I don’t want that to happen to me.’ So they don’t sign up, and I certainly don’t blame them.”

However, the possible loss of donors comes at exactly the wrong time, Estenson said.

“We’re going to be needing more donors. I think as many as 100 or so in five or six years,” he said. “That number’s going to have to go up, because the medical school is increasing by a third this year.”

Estenson said the number of medical and other students who use donors for anatomy lessons is slated to increase.

On average, UNMH gets between 70 and 80 bodies a year, and it has accepted just more than 2,300 donors since its inception in 1968, Estenson said.

“This whole thing has caused us a lot of anxiety,” he said. “You just cannot understand human anatomy without looking at human bodies. No videos, no pictures, no textbooks can really explain how complicated it actually is.”

We’ll receive my grandmother’s cremains in a few months — no funeral, no memorial. But Estenson said people who donate their bodies to UNMH receive a unique commemoration. They’re

“We always remembered that we were working with somebody’s mom, dad, husband, wife, cousin or friend,” she said. “This gift will be with us not only today but forever.”

Later, at the reception, students sat down and talked to families over baklava and lemonade.

“My mother always said, ‘It’s just a shell,’” one woman told a medical student.

The student nodded. “There’s no better way to learn,” she said.

My grandmother became a proponent of recycling long before it was trendy.

A survivor of the Great Depression, she’d crack an egg and run her finger inside the shell to extract every bit. She used old spoons to mark what crops were planted where in her garden. She ate slowly to avoid waste from gluttonous momentum.

“She was one of the most parsimonious people I knew,” my dad said.

So, it’s fitting for her to recycle her body.

And it’s reassuring to know that UNMH used her body for what was intended.

At least, that’s what Tom Estenson, director of anatomical facilities, said.

“It would take a real conspiracy for someone to be used for anything else here at the Health Sciences Center,” he said. “We have a series of checks and balances that have to do with the location of the body and any invoices that result from transportation here — cremation, those types of things — and there are always three or four people who are involved with that.”

Estenson has found himself defending UNMH’s body policy dozens of times in recent weeks.

LETTERS Enforcing immigration laws shows racism prominent in US Editor, A potential new law coming from Maricopa County, Ariz. will make it a crime to be in that county “illegally.” The possible signing of this bill into law says a lot about the state of race relations in America.

First of all, the vast majority of Mexicanos in Arizona are doing work which their Anglo neighbors consider to be beneath their dignity.

Secondly, if the sole purpose of the bill is to fight drug cartels then Americans would do more for their cause by stopping their drug habits.

So what is the only long-term solution to America’s racism anyway? As Brother Malcolm X said, “America needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem.”

Muhajir Romero UNM student

LaPo employee fired for acts similar to coach Locksley’s Editor, After reading about the incident at La Posada Dining Hall in the Daily Lobo, I couldn’t help but think of the similarities between this story, and the Mike Locksley incident last year.

Harassing a co-worker, assault, battery, bullying, a hostile work environment and the police are called in. Sound familiar? And this, folks, is where the similarities end.

Communication Workers of America representative Scott Askey is quoted as saying, in regards to the Anthony Rosa incident at LaPo, “There were several witnesses that substantiated the battery. Any other employee would have been terminated.”

Well, any other employee except for Mike Locksley that is. You see, Anthony Rosa is no longer employed with UNM, and rightly so.

Mike Locksley is still employed with UNM, “earning” his six-figure salary. I certainly hope our dedicated Lobo fans see more action on the field this season than at the coach’s meeting.

LETTERS GPSA candidate’s motives imply pay-to-play campaign Editor, Some people might think the GPSA election is not important, and therefore, campaign reporting in this election is pointless.

This could not be farther from the truth.

Martin Gutierrez will not be funneling millions to his buddies if he wins, but he can impact UNM. The regents are angry at Lissa Knudsen because she is working with faculty and staff to change directions at UNM, and a new direction is desperately needed. UNM needs a person who will follow the graduate and professional students at UNM. The statistics department has collapsed and other departments are in danger. Two

Knudsen’s involvement with Student Voices proves ability Editor, I have deep respect for graduate and professional students. They take their education seriously and they will be leaders that shape our future. I am writing today to send a message to the graduate and professional students at UNM to vote in the GPSA election. I also want these students to take a careful look at the presidential candidates. More specifically, I want the graduate and professional students to look at the causes the presidential candidates support.

In this last year, a large campaign was run by both graduate and undergraduate students. This campaign was called the Student Voice for Student Fees campaign. The main purpose of this campaign was to support the student’s right to decide where student fee money was going, but there was more to this fight. The organizations looking to get cut were the Research Service Learning Program,

statistics faculty members resigned because UNM is moving money for faculty compensation to other activities. Now there is not enough faculty to teach courses that graduate students in statistics need to finish their program. When members of the faculty are forced to find a new job, it has a tremendous impact on students, especially if the faculty member is on a student’s committee.

Gutierrez said he plans to work with the administration. Does he plan to work with them to cut more faculty? We need to know if his money comes from the administration or the regents. This will let us know who he owes if he wins the office. Follow the money and you will know who he follows.

Lissa Knudsen has worked with faculty to invest in academics and research. She will not do the regents’ bidding. She has

held and will continue to hold the regents accountable.

Pay to play can come in the form of a job after graduation.

The regents (or their friends) give money to Gutierrez. He keeps the funds hidden. He wins the election. He does the administration’s bidding. He gets a job when he graduates. Pay to play. This is not farfetched. A former ASUNM president is now working at UNM after he made a deal with the regents.

Gutierrez is not fit for the job if he does not release his financial statement. Hell, he is not fit for the job because he needed public pressure to tell us he plans to release them.

Community Learning and Public Service, New Mexico Public Interest Research Group and the request for a Queer Resource Center.

All of these organizations, in some way or another, provide a service that no other department or organization plays at UNM. All of these organizations educate students on their rights, how to engage within the community and how to organize in order to have their issues addressed. It was an honor to stand next to members of both ASUNM and GPSA. GPSA is not only supporting students’ rights to decide their funding, but to support the students’ voice on a larger capacity.

One of the strongest supporters of this campaign was current GPSA President Lissa Knudsen. Knudsen chaired the Student Fee Review Board this year. Throughout the process, she was adamant about keeping everything open to the public. She went as far as to videotape all of the 100 hours of deliberations and post it online. If you watch, you will find that Knudsen was unwilling to stop fighting for these organizations that benefit students beyond campus. She was fighting for a student voice then and continued fighting after the Student Voice

for Student Fees campaign won the funding for the four organizations.

She criticized the decision to provide additional funds to Athletics, the University Libraries, Information Technologies and building projects from student fees that were not in the Student Fee Review Board’s recommendation.

Lissa Knudsen has demonstrated the qualities I look for in a leader. Somebody who hears the voice of their constituents and makes sure others are hearing that voice too. Somebody who is willing to make everything public and not hide behind the issues. While I may not be a current student at UNM, I have spent years working on behalf of the student voice at UNM, even after I graduated. I believe that universities and colleges are social and economic leaders in our cities, states and nation.

I believe students can and will be the force behind the path universities and colleges take.

And I believe Lissa Knudsen is a leader who can make that happen.

Palin will testify against alleged e-mail hacker

by Bill Poovey Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Jurors in the trial of a former college student charged with hacking Sarah Palin’s e-mail account in 2008 heard testimony Tuesday that the accused man didn’t believe in what Palin wanted to do when she was the Republican vice presidential candidate.

Palin has been subpoenaed to testify at the trial of 22-year-old David Kernell, and Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Weddle said in court for the first time that Palin’s husband, Todd Palin, and their daughter, Bristol, are also potential witnesses in the trial that could last a week or longer.

Kernell’s attorney told a federal jury that his client had no criminal intent and guessed his way into Palin’s personal e-mail.

However, Kernell’s former college roommate gave his testimony to open the trial.

“He definitely talked about how he didn’t believe in what she wanted to do,” David Omiecinski, Kernell’s former University of Tennessee roommate, testified as the chief prosecutor used video monitors to

show jurors copies of the e-mail and obscenity-laced Internet postings traced to Kernell.

Omiecinski, the first government witness, said Kernell never said anything about wanting to hurt the former Alaska governor and 2008 running mate of presidential candidate John McCain.

Omiecinski said he and others were having a party in Kernell’s absence at their apartment days later when FBI agents seized Kernell’s laptop. He said Kernell afterward always told him to tell the truth about what happened.

Defense attorney Wade Davies said Kernell’s actions were a prank and that he tried to brag about it afterward and respond to Internet messages that accused him of lying.

Davies said Kernell openly left an online trail to himself that the government has mixed into four felony charges. Davies said Kernell never tried to destroy any evidence on his laptop and that he was crying when called by the FBI after learning of the investigation.

“He really couldn’t have done more to let people know what he had done than he did,” Davies said.

Bill Poovey / AP Photo David Kernell, center, who is charged with hacking Sarah Palin’s e-mail, is shown entering the federal courthouse at Knoxville, Tenn., with his attorneys, Wade Davies, left, and Anne Passino on April 14.

Kernell is accused of accessing Palin’s Yahoo! e-mail account by answering a series of personal security questions, resetting the password to “popcorn,” making screen shots and posting the contents online using the nickname “rubico.”

The McCain campaign in 2008

described the e-mail intrusion as a “shocking invasion of the governor’s privacy and a violation of law.”

Prosecutors have not said when Palin or any other witnesses will take the stand.

Pre-trial maneuvering by the defense showed concern that some

jurors in heavily Republican East Tennessee could be dazzled when the conservative star testifies.

Kernell was a 20-year-old college student majoring in economics when prosecutors say he hacked into the Yahoo! account Palin sometimes used for state business.

Deception has been patented.

Charles Rex Arbogast / AP Photo Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich calls out U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and defends his wife during a news conference with his legal team Tuesday in Chicago.

Impeached governor welcomes trial

by Mike Robinson Associated Press

CHICAGO — Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich described the federal prosecutors who have brought racketeering and fraud charges against him as “cowards and liars” Tuesday and challenged Chicago’s U.S. attorney to meet him face to face in court if he is “man enough.”

In an extraordinary outburst timed to go live on evening news shows, Blagojevich said prosecutors had treated his wife unfairly and were now

“sneaking into court” in an effort to prevent jurors from hearing all of the tapes the FBI made of his telephone conversations.

“They are cowards and they are liars,” Blagojevich said, raising his voice to a full-throated shout as he stood before a battery of cameras in front of his lawyer’s South Side office.

“They know when all those tapes will be played they will show I’ve done nothing wrong and will prove my innocence,” the impeached former governor said. He and his attorneys left without taking questions.

Addressing U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald through the cameras, Blagojevich said: “I’ll be in court tomorrow and I hope you are man enough to be there, too.”

A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, Randall Samborn, had no comment on Blagojevich’s remarks.

U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel has scheduled a hearing for Wednesday to discuss motions being filed as preparations for the trial go into their final six weeks.

Funds

Blagojevich is charged with scheming to misuse his power as governor to fill a vacant U.S. Senate seat by selling or trading President Obama’s former seat and illegally pressuring potential donors for campaign contributions.

His brother, businessman Robert Blagojevich, is charged with helping him.

Both brothers have pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied any wrongdoing.

Rod Blagojevich’s attorneys, Sam Adam and Sheldon Sorosky, did not immediately respond to phone messages Tuesday evening seeking comment.

Their client called the news conference promising to make his strongest statement to date about the corruption case against him. During his two minute rant, Blagojevich ripped into prosecutors for saying in a court filing that his wife made thousands of dollars as an employee of convicted fixer Tony Rezko without working for it. He said she was a professional and a “devoted mother.”

because no one’s brought this level of professionalism to a GPSA presidential election before,” he said. “I think that the graduate students deserve this.”

GPSA President Lissa Knudsen and council representative Brandi Lawless drafted a resolution last Thursday asking for a “clean campaign” clause in the GPSA bylaws.

However, the resolution turned into a recommendation at the council’s Saturday meeting.

Gutierrez criticized Knudsen for not receiving donations.

“My opponent said she’s spent zero. That means she doesn’t have the confidence and faith in the graduate population that not even 50 cents or a dime should be spent to get her message out,” he said. “Her response is that people are happy.

How do we know that people are happy? Because they’re not showing up? People who don’t show up aren’t happy.”

Gutierrez said all the emphasis on campaign contributions is shortsighted.

“What’s keeping me up at night is not who is giving me money and how much I’m able to pull in,” he said.

“What’s keeping me up at night is the plan that we’re going to pull together that everybody’s happy with and that we’re able to take on these new budget cuts.”

Accepting donations for GPSA president increases the election’s overall credibility, Gutierrez said.

“I think that we’ve raised the bar for GPSA elections a little bit higher than what it was before, and that gives us the credibility with the administration to say that we’re running a professional election,” Gutierrez said.

“We’re going to show up on Thursday turning graduate student votes out.”

As for expenditures, Gutierrez’ website lists $480 in Daily Lobo advertisements and $26.05 for his website.

Gutierrez also said he’s employed between 15 and 18 graduate student volunteers for his campaign to help with advice and outreach as part of the professionalism he wants to bring to the GPSA elections.

“I’ve demonstrated that I’m able to get graduate student support and my connections in the community to raise a little bit of money to get my message out,” he said. “That is the action that I would be judged upon — that I’m fulfilling a campaign promise before I’m even elected.”

Gutierrez also released his spring 2010 course schedule to the Daily Lobo and said he plans to post it on his website. In the interest of transparency, he said, he’d like Knudsen to do the same.

“I wanted to demonstrate even further to the graduate students and UNM community that I’m eligible as a graduate student enrolled in the sufficient amount of credit hours to accept the position — should I win the election — and the stipend that comes along with that,” he said.

Aggies overwhelm the bases for the win

by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

Like a Halley’s comet sighting, a win for the UNM softball team is a rare occurrence.

But in a game that went the distance — all seven innings — the Lobos turned in a less-than meteoric finish, tailing off like a falling NMSU 12 star in the speckled horizon. As 3 UNM a result, UNM fell 12-3 to New Mexico State at the UNM Softball Complex on Tuesday, marking its 13th consecutive loss.

The Lobos are now 10-27 overall, falling for the fourth straight time to the Aggies.

Head coach Ty Singleton said ensuring his team doesn’t quit when it has nothing to play for is his prime focus this late in the year. “The thing I would say right now is ‌ what’s your integrity?â€? he said. “Are you going to continue to play the way you said you were going to play? Our guiding principles are a team-first attitude. We’re going to work hard. We’re going to do it with enthusiasm, and we’re going to be determined. I thought they did all those things tonight.â€?

Through four innings, the score was tied at three apiece. The Lobos even briefly led, knocking in three runs in the bottom of the second inning and held a 3-2 advantage.

But things quickly unraveled.

To start the fifth, the Aggies stocked the bases with runners, as Kandis Jones reached on a blooper.

Then, Lobo pitcher Kaela DeBroeck was involved in a back-and-forth duel with NMSU’s Hoku Nohara.

CSU

Saturday 1 p.m.

Softball Complex But it ended dismally for DeBroeck.

With a full count, and after a 10pitch affair, Nohara rocketed DeBroeck’s offering toward the celestial sky for a three-run home run.

It was Nohara’s second home run of the day, and she finished 3-for-3 from the plate with seven RBIs and two walks.

On the next at-bat DeBroeck gave up a solo homer to Ashley Maroda, signaling the end of her night.

Kari Gutierrez came in to relieve DeBroeck. “One miss, and she hits it out,�

Singleton deadpanned. “It’s a pretty simple story. I don’t know that we’ve held anybody under eight runs in weeks. It’s really hard to win a ball game when you’re going to win a ball game.�

Actually, the last time the Lobos held an opponent under eight runs was on April 9 — a 7-2 loss to Mountain West Conference foe San Diego State. DeBroeck, meanwhile, went four innings, while facing 23 batters and allowing seven runs on nine hits, none more crippling than the back-to-back home runs off the bats of Nohara and Maroda.

All season long, pitching has been a microcosm of the Lobos’ struggles. They have just three

Suns trail Portland on home court

by Bob Baum

Associated Press PHOENIX — Andre Miller scored 15 points in the fourth quarter and tied his career playoff high with 31 points as the short-handed Portland Trail Blazers stole homecourt

advantage from Phoenix with a 105100 victory over the Suns on Sunday night.

Methodical Portland was a tough matchup for the Suns all season and it was no different in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series, despite the absence of the Blazers’ scoring leader, Brandon Roy. LaMarcus Aldridge added 22 points and Nicolas Batum 18 for Portland. Jerryd Bayless also had 18 for the Blazers, 10 in the fourth quarter, but missed two free throws with 12.2 seconds left to give Phoenix a shot to tie. Steve Nash’s 3-point try was well short, though, and Miller’s two free throws iced the victory.

Marcus Camby grabbed 17 rebounds for Portland, two shy off his career playoff best.

Roy is out for the series after arthroscopic knee surgery, and the Blazers lost Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla earlier in the season. But Portland won two of three against the Suns, including a win at Phoenix when the Blazers didn’t have Roy. The Suns, the NBA’s highestscoring team at 110 points per game, never got into their usually fluid offense but still led 87-85 after Stoudemire’s 16-footer with 4:57 to play.

Miller, though, made his only 3-point attempt of the night to put Portland ahead for good 8887 with 4:28 from the finish, and then Aldridge sank two free throws to make it 90-87 with 4:12 remaining. Nash’s 22-footer cut it to 90-89, but Miller made two free throws, Aldridge tipped one in over Stoudemire, and Portland was up 94-89 with 3:37 left.

Nash’s 3-pointer briefly cut the lead to 94-92, but Batum responded with a 3 of his own 17 seconds

Softball

later and Bayless made two free throws to put the Blazers up 99-92 with 1:29 to go.

The Suns missed repeated 3s before Jason Richardson finally made one to cut it to 103-100 with 12.5. After Bayless missed two free throws, Nash dribbled upcourt and let it fly, but his shot was not even close.

Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry said his team would be fine if it hit its shots, but the Suns shot just 42 percent and were 9 of 24 in the final quarter, including 3 of 13 on 3s.

Portland was the aggressor from the outset while the Suns settled for jump shots. The evidence was at the foul line, where Phoenix had just two attempts in the first half.

The Blazers led 44-43 at the break behind Aldridge’s 13 points and Camby’s 12 rebounds.

The Suns never led by more than four in the third quarter. Channing Frye’s 10-foot jump hook with 2.5 seconds left in the quarter gave Phoenix a precarious 72-70 lead entering the fourth.

Leandro Barbosa scored 13 in eight minutes in the first half, when he made all five of his shots, three of them 3s. He was scoreless in the second half.

The Trail Blazers are 9-9 without Roy this season. Portland has lost its last six opening playoff games. The Suns’ Grant Hill and Jason Richardson were a combined 1 of 10 shooting in the first half and finished 4 of 21. Jared Dudley, fourth in the NBA in 3-point percentage in the regular season (46 percent), was 1 of 5 from long range. Barbosa scored 13, all in the first half. He missed 15 games following wrist surgery before returning on March 26.

pitchers on staff, one of which is a redshirt freshman, the other a true freshman while Samantha Gatson is a sophomore.

Still, DeBroeck, while pointing out their youth, didn’t excuse how the staff has pitched as a whole.

“I don’t think it’s really a factor. As a whole team, we need to get things done,” DeBroeck said. “We got three pretty unique pitchers. We hit all the different styles. We just need to put

them together.”

Avoiding opponents’ big innings has been problematic for UNM, DeBroeck said. If not for a four-run fifth and a five-run seventh, the Lobos have a better shot to win the game.

But that’s the way the ball has rolled, DeBroeck said.

“It’s just been one of those years.

You can’t pinpoint things,” she said.

“You just have to learn how to throw to different batters.”

the facts

Vanessa Sanchez / Daily Lobo Daniel Gonzalez gives volunteer assistant coach Clint Stoy his gloves after getting the third out in the bottom of the second inning during Tuesday’s 9-5 loss to San Francisco at Isotopes Park. The Lobos are back in action today at 6 p.m.

Off night confuses fans and players

by Ryan Tomari It was just that kind of night for the Lobos.

Nothing would or wanted to bounce in the UNM baseball team’s favor, even a late Lobo rally in the eighth inning, San Fran. 9 which ended when Alex 5 UNM Allbritton hit into an inningending double play with the bases loaded.

The Lobos never recovered and faltered at the hands of San Francisco, 9-5, on Tuesday at Isotopes Park.

But like an old broken-down record, the pitching kept playing a bad tune.

The Lobos substituted three pitchers  Jacob Nelson, Gabe Aguilar and Oscar Almeida  in the bottom of the sixth inning that resulted in two hits and one run by the Dons.

This was before, the fourth pitcher of the inning, Jason Oatman, sat down the last two batters of the San Francisco’s line up.

USF posted three straight tworun innings in the fifth, sixth and seventh.

UNM head baseball coach Ray Birmingham said UNM’s pitching hasn’t cut the mustard all season.

“If you watched the other team tonight, the difference was the pitching ability,” Birmingham said. “That team over there — San Francisco — they can pitch. The University of New Mexico has to get that kind of stuff going on and that was the difference in the ball game.”

As bad as it was, things got worse and a little weird for the Lobos.

In the bottom of the seventh inning, home-plate umpire Ryan

Morehead called a balk on Oatman that advanced Pete Lavin from first base to second.

UNM catcher Rafael Neda tried executing a trick play but failed. After the pitch, Lavin remained off the bag at second. Neda attempted to throw the ball to third baseman Allbritton, but the ball bounced off Jason Mahood’s bat and ricocheted into the stands.

Both dugouts were confused, and so were the fans, but the bewilderment just led to Lavin advancing to third base without even throwing a pitch.

“I mean, it was just a pick-off to third base,” Neda said. “The hitter was up in the (batter’s) box, and (I had) the whole area behind me to throw the ball. So I threw the ball, and, lucky me, he dropped the bat and the ball hit the bat. When it hit the bat it went all the way to the seats. I could see the throw, and I knew it was going to go right to the base.”

The Lobos offense sputtered, and it could have borrowed a few of those 29 runs they scored on Sunday against Coppin State.

USF’s pitching had UNM in check all night and when the Lobos had runners in scoring position, all they could do was pop into fielder’s choices all night. The Lobos finished the night with seven hits.

Adam Courcha’s two-run double in the bottom of the fifth was UNM’s only sign of life, cutting San Francisco’s lead to 5-3. Other than that, the Lobos never threatened.

“But the beautiful thing is that the fight in the kids isn’t leaving,” Birmingham said. “And it’s despite the fact that they keep getting knocked down by poor pitching on our behalf, and we have got to get that fixed.”

by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

Little-Kid Syndrome persists into adulthood.

We’re all guilty of it. At one time or another, we’ve all idolized professional athletes. And when they are riddled by controversy and scandal, we are the first ones to decry their ill-advised behavior.

Fact of the matter is it’s juvenile, superficial and moronic. For the record, thinking of athletes as role models is a socially constructed sham. Blame the media for shamefully helping to create these largerthan-life personas.

Since when did professional athletes become surrogates to parental accountability? Since when did players profess to be beacons of integrity and piety? Most of all, when did we start buying into this fraudulent, baseless farce of athletes as role models?

Hey, America. It’s time to grow up.

America is void of realists, a land of opportunity and disillusioned idiots looking for moral guidance from a man who is paid to sink balls in holes. I’m talking about Tiger Woods. These same incompetent dum-dums believe a Ben Roethlisberger isn’t supposed to be served smack between two honey buns.

Save the outrage.

The sexual revolution has made promiscuity as American as freedom fries.

Let’s not pretend Big Ben is being vilified because he put himself in a compromising situation that, at the end of the day, resulted in rape allegations. If that were the case, he’d no longer be denigrated after Georgia’s district attorneys determined there wasn’t enough evidence to prosecute. Instead, Roethlisberger is still being publicly flogged, his name sullied so we can feel like we’ve retained a shred of human decency in the Grand Canyon of eroded morals.

Somehow lost in the furor is our own self-demeaning philandering.

Athletes are held to higher standards simply because they are on the public stage. But it’s all just a big act, except it’s becoming increasingly difficult to find level-headed people who can discern fiction from reality.

In the same breath, society promotes a culture where hookups are but a mouse click away and pornography is constantly available for consumption. Are we really going to dilute ourselves into believing athletes won’t throw caution to the wind and give into their own carnal cravings?

Understandably, since Nietzsche said God is dead, sports are regarded with a devout sense of religiosity.

And the existing framework of sports mythology requires that sports figures be demi-gods. I understand advertising exacerbates the problem, with how exploitive companies like Nike brand athletes as transcendent figures, above the felonious, filth and fodder of the common man.

Yet money and power are invitations to a party where Alotta Fagina is the guest of honor. And the attendees’ list reads like the Sunday obituary: Rick Pitino, Tiki Barber, Reggie Miller, former ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips, Charles Barkley, Woods and Roethlisberger.

Self-righteously we wag our fingers from the bully pulpit. But put in the same situation, would the outcome be any different? Maybe our issue doesn’t rest with athletes’ misgivings. Perhaps the problem is with capitalism itself.

Companies commoditized ideals and sold athletes as the embodiment of these ideals, and we bought it right up. Semantically, Woods represented the exemplary athlete — regal, faithful, loyal and fiercely competitive. So, the Tiger in-theWoods sex scandal is social suicide for the masses, an uncomfortable realization for us that Woods is as flawed as the average person.

What, then, does that say about our understanding of the system?

It says that we mask our ignorance as innocence.
