The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895
by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo
The winds of change have blown Pat Lohmann into his new position as the Daily Lobo’s editor-in-chief. Lohmann is a sophomore from Gallup, N.M. double majoring in political science and journalism. “I applied for the Daily Lobo at freshmen orientation,” Lohmann said. “So I was working for the Lobo before I even stepped foot onto the campus as a student.” He has experience writing for the Gallup Herald, the Gallup Independent, the Gallup Journey and the Weekly Alibi and has worked as a freelance reporter, staff See Pat’s plan for online reporter and news editor comments, page 4. for the Daily Lobo. Lohmann said he wants UNM’s independent student newspaper to help make the University more transparent through ongoing, trustworthy reporting, and he said he wants to emphasize investigative journalism throughout his tenure. “I really want to get the salary book for the University posted on the Daily Lobo website, for one thing” Lohmann said. “What’s important about that is at the moment you can only check out the salary book for an hour — the physical copy from Zimmerman library. I’m going to make that one of my highest priorities to get an Excel document or a spreadsheet posted on our website.” He said he wants the Daily Lobo to promote dialogue and feedback. He said he wants to address issues that are important to students, staff, faculty and community members.

GPSA debates donations standards for elections by Leah Valencia Daily Lobo
The Graduate and Professional Student Association Council wrangled Saturday between pushing for a more ethical elections code or continuing to allow elections to mirror those of state and federal government. The council debated how to amend the GPSA bylaws to ensure that elections reflected transparency, fairness and consistency. The council passed a resolution that provides for a vote at its August meeting about whether to change GPSA bylaws. “The purpose of an election is not simply to elect a candidate to office but to lay an empha-
sis on core democratic principles,” said GPSA communication and journalism representative Brandi Lawless in a memorandum. The new bylaws would limit all campaign contributions to UNM students, faculty and staff and mandate that contributors provide their UNM e-mail, student identification number and the amount donated to each candidate. All the information would be verified by the GPSA Elections Committee, and the names of the contributors would be posted to the GPSA website. According to the resolution, the new laws would also put a $50 cap on the amount a single contributor could donate to acandidate, and GPSA candidates would be limited to spending
$500 on their campaigns. There would be no cap on how much an individual could raise; however, the resolution stipulates that any excess funds be donated to a nonprofit organization of the candidate’s choice. GPSA representative Desi Brown said GPSA has not had ethics problems in past elections, but the council wanted to get ahead of the issue. “Who’s to say that next year someone doesn’t come along and get a $2,000 contribution?” he said. “In my opinion, instead of us being reactive we should be proactive.” In GPSa’s most recent election, presidential candidate Martin Gutierrez got $500 in campaign contributions but did not imme-
Regents rubber-stamp final budget by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
The Board of Regents approved a $2.1 billion budget for next year, a decrease of 1.1 percent from last fiscal year. The budget includes a 7.9 percent increase in tuition and student fees totaling to about $5,505 per semester for undergraduates from $5,100. ASUNM President Monika Roberts said improved advisement is a big concern for undergraduates during the regents’ meeting Friday.

“We would like to ensure that in the upcoming year, the Provost’s Office regularly and consistently meets with the undergraduates so we are informed of the changes and progress that are being done with advisement,” Roberts said. Andrew Cullen, associate vice president of Planning, Budget and Analysis, said the increases in tuition and fees will be used for scholarships, hiring new faculty and advising, among other things. He said $500,000 will go toward improving advisement.
“We believe we have seen some improvement in advising,” Cullen said. “There are still improvements to be made and we believe many of those improvements will be made this upcoming fiscal year.” Roberts said the $10 each student receives per semester for printing should also be reconsidered. “We would really like to see an increase in the number of pages that students can print in light of the tuition and fee hikes,” Roberts said. Also, $1.5 million is going toward

diately release the names and amounts of contributions. GPSA Representative Robyn Lubisco argued that allowing candidates to solicit contributions could help increase voter turnout by bringing more publicity to elections. “If they want to spend $5,000 — great. Spend $5,000,” she said. “In the end, I think spending more money could get more people to vote.” Brown said limiting the amount a candidate can spend will create cleaner and fairer elections. “The more money you can keep out of elec-

Obama: BP will foot bill for spill

The Associated Press
M
VENICE, La. — No remedy in sight, President Barack Obama on Sunday warned of a “massive and potentially unprecedented environmental disaster” as a badly damaged oil well a mile deep in the Gulf of Mexico spewed a widening and deadly slick toward delicate wetlands and wildlife. He said it could take many days to stop. Obama rushed to southern Louisiana to inspect forces arrayed against the oil gusher as Cabinet members described the situation as grave and insisted the administration was doing everything it could. Then he took a helicopter ride over the water to view the 30-mile oil slick caused by as much as 210,000 gallons of crude gushing into the Gulf each day. The spill threatens not only the environment but also the region’s abundant fishing industry, which Obama called “the heartbeat of the region’s economic life.” As of now, it appeared little could be done in the short term to stem the oil flow, which was also drifting toward the beaches of neighboring Mississippi and farther east along the Florida Panhandle. Obama said the slick was nine miles off the coast of southeastern Louisiana. BP Chairman Lamar McKay raised faint hope that the spill might be stopped more quickly by lowering a hastily manufactured dome to the ruptured wellhead in the next six to eight days, containing the oil and then pumping it to the surface. Such a procedure has been used in some well blowouts but never at the miledeep waters of this disaster. The leaking well was not only an ecological disaster but a potential political hazard, as well, depending on how the public judges the Obama administration’s response. In 2005, President George W. Bush stumbled in dealing with Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf and left the impression of a

president distant from immense suffering. His presidency never recovered. Obama vowed that his administration, while doing all it could to mitigate the disaster, would require well owner BP America to bear all costs. “Your government will do whatever it takes for as long as it takes to stop this crisis,” he said. “BP is responsible for this leak. BP will be paying the bill,” Obama said after a Coast Guard briefing in Venice, a Gulf Coast community serving as a staging area for the response. He stood before cameras in a heavy rain, water dripping from his face. The president also stopped to talk with six local fishermen and said the challenge is, “How do we plug this hole?” After that, he said, protecting the estuaries would be the next priority. “We’re going to do everything
in our power to protect our natural resources, compensate those who have been harmed, rebuild what has been damaged and help this region persevere like it has done so many times before,” Obama said. Arriving in New Orleans, the president shunned helicopter travel because of a threat of tornadoes and drove to Venice to tour a close-tothe-water staging area where the government and BP were trying to keep the slick from causing even more damage. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said any comparison between the ruptured BP oil well and Katrina was “a total mis-characterization,” and that the government had taken an “all hands on deck” approach from the beginning. Administration officials have been at pains to explain that Obama’s late

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: The latest bill passed in Arizona immigration law would make it a state crime for illegal immigrants to not have alien registration documents with them. It would also require police to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they’re in the country illegally. Many people across the country are declaring the bill an excuse for racial profiling and other abuse. What do you think about this new legislation? Out of 132 responses
It needed to happen because the federal government wasn’t doing its job. 47% It needed to happen because Arizona Republicans had to pass some crazy 1% legislation to win the primaries. They are going to change that state around. It should have never passed — this is in conjunction with the “birther bill” 24% just shows how prejudiced Arizona really is. It should have never passed because this kind of legislation does more harm 28% than good.
THIS WEEK’S POLL: The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico might prove to be the worst in American history. There still doesn’t seem to be an end in sight, but there is a back-up plan. BP American Inc. chairman Lamar McKay told ABC’s “This Week” that he can’t say when the well, a mile beneath the sea, might be plugged. But he said he believes a 74-ton metal and concrete box, which a company spokesman said was 40 feet tall, 24 feet wide and 14 feet deep, could be placed over the well on the ocean floor in six to eight days. Do you think the recent 5,000-barrelsa-day oil leak changes the issue of offshore drilling? Does this give us sufficient reason to question our energy needs? No, it’s one well. Who cares?
DL
No, I think this shows just how much oil is out there. Yes, we need to stop drilling oil. We see the consequences now. Yes, this is completely not cost-effective in the long run. How are we going to afford cleaning the entire gulf coast?

EDITORIAL Debate is crucial to a healthy university. At a university, disciplines, perspectives and opinions collide to form an education, and the New Mexico Daily Lobo has been a forum to facilitate that collision for more than 100 years. We’ve opened up our website to allow immediate feedback on our content, to foster dialogue and encourage healthy discussion on relevant issues. However, the Daily Lobo’s forum is not meant to be a cesspool of racism, libel and personal attacks. And, while the Lobo is not legally at risk for anything posted on its website, it would be irresponsible to simply let the forum’s mission be perverted from its original goal of healthy discourse and debate. We seek not to censor but to cultivate, to allow opinions to resonate and intrigue by identifying and discarding counterproduc-
tive and irrelevant comments. I’ve outlined a comprehensive policy for the enforcement of the Daily Lobo’s online forum. I sought to establish a thorough policy that provides a set of criteria to be followed for years to come. We are eager at the Daily Lobo for input and suggestions for policy improvements. Here’s what I have so far: Criteria: The Daily Lobo reserves the right to remove comments, and it will not tolerate: Posts that attack others on the basis of gender, race, class, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual preference, disability, etc. Posts that invade the privacy of others, purport to be written by someone other than the author and/or are libelous. Posts that are plagiarized.
Enforcement: With these criteria in mind, the editors at the Lobo will monitor and remove comments if, and only if, they meet any of the criteria. By increasing the number of monitors for the online forum, while still mandating that each monitor base his or her decision on a specific set of criteria, offending posts will be removed quickly. This policy will allow for a healthy debate on our website and will allow the Daily Lobo to responsibly fulfill its duty as the independent student voice of the University of New Mexico.

LETTER University’s budget priorities out of whack, need overhaul Editor, To commemorate the second-year anniversary of UNM’s General Faculty meeting (on April 30), in whichthe faculty came together to discuss Scholes Hall’s spending priorities: Budgets are about priorities and anyone looking at UNM’s budget realizes how much ground the educational mission of the main campus has lost in the last few years. The amount of monies allocated for instruction has stagnated as other budget items from Instructional and General monies have increased, such as administrative costs and Athletics. An increase in the number of vice presidents aside, what is even more troubling is the proliferation of “special assistants” and associate VPs and provosts and their staffs. Two years ago, faculty asked for an accounting of all administrative positions above dean, in order to determine to what extent they were draining instructional funds. We have yet to receive a full accounting but other evidence exists to judge the impact of
these spending decisions over time. Evidence of instructional decline is found in increased student-adviser ratios (depending on the college is as high as three times the optimal level recommended by the National Academic Advising Association); increased student-faculty ratios (now at 21 to 1, up from 14 to 1 in 1999); the percentage of classes (45 percent) taught by poorly compensated part-time faculty (whose labor subsidizes administrative salaries and growth); and faculty losses in the departments of history, math and statistics, and chemistry that are one-quarter to onethird of their tenured/tenure-track lines. Instructional decline has been so precipitous that the recent accreditation report (2009) noted that this decline needs “organizational attention” and that “the acquisition, discovery, and application of knowledge are potentially at risk.” It also states that the high number of nontenured faculty teaching (45 percent) is “questionable” for a Carnegie I Very High Research Institution. Neither the regents nor administrators addressed the accreditation committee’s conclusions as they were discussing spending priorities. They did, however, approve new monies ($10 more per student) for the
Athletics Department’s shortfalls and ignored addressing the decadelong decrease (3.2 percent) in tenured/tenure-track lines and how to cut significantly the decadelong 120 percent increase in administrative costs and five-year 50 percent increase (2005 to 2009) to the Athletics budget. Thus from this summit we do know what UNM’s administrators’ and regents’ priorities are for 2010-2011: the maintenance of the dual behemoths of administration and Athletics. Are these the priorities of the citizens of New Mexico? No, said the faculty at the General Meeting in 2008 and then again in February 2009 with its no-confidence votes. As New Mexico unemployment approaches 10 percent, New Mexico citizens enroll in our colleges and universities in far greater numbers than ever before. A university-educated work force is the key to New Mexico’s future prospects and viability; thus faculty must continue to pressure Scholes Hall and the regents to make UNM’s spending priorities reflect its core missions of research, teaching and service and give New Mexican families the education they deserve.

Oil spill’s role in turtle deaths to be determined
GULFPORT, Miss. — At least 20 sea turtles have been found dead this weekend along a 30-mile stretch of Mississippi beaches from Biloxi to Bay St. Louis. Wildlife officials can’t say with certainty that the turtles, some endangered, died as a result of the oil spill. Moby Solangi, director of the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport, Miss., said Sunday this is typically the time of year when turtles wash up on shore. Solangi said even though no oil appears to be on the turtles, they may still have been sickened by consuming oil-coated fish. He says that won’t be clear until necropsies are performed on Monday. Some of the dead reptiles are endangered Kemps ridley turtles.
Troubled Greece gets first Euro bailout ATHENS, Greece— Greece’s finance minister outlined deep spending cuts and tax increases Sunday to free up a multi-billion-euro rescue by the International Monetary Fund and European Union, the first bailout for one of the 16 countries using the euro. The measures, which include tax increases and salary and pension cuts for civil servants, aim to reduce the budget deficit to below 3 percent of gross domestic product by 2014, from the current 13.6 percent of GDP, George Papaconstantinou said. “We are called on today to make a basic choice. The choice is between collapse or salvation,” he said. The full amount of the threeyear IMF/eurozone package will be announced in Brussels after an emergency eurozone finance
ministers’ meeting, where Papaconstantinou was heading after his Athens news conference. He said the amount would be “close to” widely reported figures. French and other officials have said it would be €120 billion. Papaconstantinou said savings worth €30 billion through 2012 would be achieved through public service and pension pay cuts, higher taxes and streamlining government.
Torrential downpours kill five, damage homes MEMPHIS, Tenn.— Heavy thunderstorms lashed parts of western Tennessee with almost a foot of rain, leading to the deaths of five people and flooded neighborhoods, roads and waterways. The line of storms also dropped reported tornadoes and hail along the Mississippi River Valley in Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky and northward. The forecast called for more rain through the weekend. Hundreds of homes had been evacuated and shelters were being opened across the state for people stranded due to flooded roads. Heidt said crews were called out for swift-water rescues from Nashville to Memphis. “It’s so widespread. It’s a very serious concern,” he said. The deaths were in reported in Stewart, Davidson, Williamson and Carroll counties, he said. The five deaths in Tennessee were related to the storm, but the exact

CHICAGO— Angered by a controversial Arizona immigration law, tens of thousands of protesters — including 50,000 alone in Los Angeles — rallied in cities nationwide demanding President Barack Obama tackle immigration reform immediately. “I want to thank the governor of Arizona because she’s awakened a sleeping giant,” said labor organizer John Delgado, who attended a rally in New York where authorities estimated 6,500 gathered. From Los Angeles to Washington D.C., activists, families, students and even politicians marched, practiced civil disobedience and “came out” about their citizenship status in the name of rights for immigrants, including the estimated 12 million living illegally in the U.S. A congressman was among 35 people arrested during a protest at the White House. U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., was taking part in a civil disobedience demonstration. Protests elsewhere were largely peaceful. No arrests were reported at most demonstrations; two were arrested near the march route in Los Angeles, but police said neither suspect appeared to be connected to the rally.

Failed car bomb found in New York’s Times Square by Tom Hoys
The Associated Press NEW YORK — Police investigating a failed car bomb left in Times Square have videotape of a possible suspect shedding clothing in an alley and putting it in a bag and found a substance that resembled fertilizer in the parked SUV, Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Sunday. The surveillance video shows a white man in his 40s taking off one shirt, revealing another underneath. Kelly said officers were on their way to a Pennsylvania town to talk to a tourist who also might have recorded the suspect on his video camera. The commissioner said there’s no evidence that a Pakistani Taliban videotaped claim to the failed car bombing is valid. Police found the SUV parked on one of the prime blocks for Broadway shows such as “The Lion King” on Saturday night. Thousands of tourists were cleared from the area for 10 hours. The bomb was dismantled, and no one was hurt. The SUV contained three barbecue-grill-sized propane tanks, fireworks, two filled 5-gallon gasoline containers and two clocks with batteries, electrical wire and other components, police said. Timers were connected to a 16-ounce can filled with the fireworks, which were apparently intended to set the gas cans and propane afire, Kelly said. “Clearly it was the intent of whoever did this to cause mayhem, to create casualties,” Kelly said at a news conference at police headquarters. “It’s just a sober reminder that New York is clearly a target of people who want to come here and do us harm.” He said New Yorkers are lucky

changes Lohmann is implementing. “I think as editor-in-chief, I’m going to be focusing on bigger picture — long term direction, versus day-to-day stuff,” he said. Lohmann said he’s looking forward to what promises to be an interesting year at UNM and in New Mexico.
Oil Spill
“I think this year’s Daily Lobo staff is talented and very well qualified,” he said. “I look forward to continuing the more-than-100-year legacy and offering the UNM community a voice.” Former staff reporter Leah Valencia will now take over as news editor.

March decision to expand offshore oil exploration could be altered as a result of the spill and that stricter safety rules would doubtless be written into leases. In reality, oil companies and the government lack the technology to prevent the damage from a well gushing masses of oil, killing wildlife and tainting a delicate ecosystem. The oil washing ashore could ruin the coastal fishing industry. While the government has mobilized masses of equipment to scoop up, burn and block the oil from moving ashore, the tools to contain the ecological and economic damage washing toward the coast were akin to big-game hunting with a pellet gun.

that the bomb did not fully detonate because it “looks like it would have caused a significant fireball.” He said the vehicle, which had Connecticut license plates that didn’t match it, would have been “cut in half” by an explosion and people nearby could have been sprayed by shrapnel and killed. “It wasn’t an accident,” he said. “It was somebody who brought this to the location to send a message to terrorize people in the area.” Police also found eight bags of an unknown substance in a gun locker that was in the smoking SUV, Kelly said. The substance “looks and feels” like fertilizer, he said, but tests were pending. Kelly said the surveillance video shows the vehicle entering the area at 6:28 p.m. Saturday, and a vendor pointed the SUV out to an officer about two minutes later, at the height of dinner hour before theatergoers head to Saturday night shows. He said the license plates on the SUV belong to a car that is being repaired in Connecticut. Duane Jackson, a 58-year-old handbag vendor from Buchanan, N.Y., said he noticed the car and wondered who had left it there. “That was my first thought: Who sat this car here?” Jackson said Sunday. Jackson said he looked in the car and saw keys in the ignition with 19 or 20 keys on a ring. He said he alerted a passing mounted police officer. They were looking in the car “when the smoke started coming out and then we heard the little pop pop pop like firecrackers going out and that’s when everybody scattered and ran back,” he said. “Now that I saw the propane tanks and the gasoline, what if that would have ignited?” Jackson said. “I’m less than 8 feet away from the car. We dodged a bullet here.”
Adm. Thad Allen, the Coast Guard commandant, said the volume of spewing oil could climb to 100,000 barrels a day in the event of a total wellhead failure, a much greater breach than is believed to exist now. He spoke to the obvious urgency of stopping the flow of crude. “The difference between 1,000 and 5,000 barrels a day (original estimates), when you look at the potential discharge of 100,000, leads me to believe that there are a lot of inaccuracies associated with trying to estimate flow from a broken pipe at 5,000 feet,” Allen said. “That’s the reason it’s so very, very important we focus on stopping this leak right away.”

tions the cleaner the election is going to be,” he said. “Especially if you combine that with open government and open elections.” He said GPSA candidates do not have a history of soliciting large contributions, but not implementing a policy leaves the door open to the risk. “We want to eliminate that danger of things going on underground,” he said. “If you can have open elections and limited campaign contributions then it just makes it cleaner.” Lubisco said the new bylaws do
not reflect the norms of other government elections. “It reflects everyday life. We shouldn’t have anything different,” she said. “In the presidential election you aren’t capped.” Brown said creating a more ethical elections code would keep large contributions from influencing the political process. “I think the actions we took are going to reduce the chances of that happening,” he said. “It really levels the playing field.”

the hiring of new faculty, 58 percent of which will go to hiring tenure-track faculty. The Athletics Department will receive $208,000. Doug Fields, Faculty Senate president, said UNM administration isn’t including faculty in University governance. He said many faculty members are leaving the University as a result, especially in statistics, English and engineering. “Somebody told me that around Scholes Hall, the idea of faculty participating in the budget making and operations within the University is akin to inmates participating in the operation of the insane asylum,� he said. “First of all, faculty aren’t inmates because we can leave, and we are.� Fields said departments at UNM including academic support, research and student services have been cut, but the Athletics
Department’s budget has increased by about $2.5 million. “If they have more income, why are their expenditures going up?� Fields asked the regents on Friday. “Where is the heart of this University?� Cullen said there is often a positive correlation between revenues and expenditures, especially in light of the Pit’s construction, because the increased expenditures are simply an application of the received revenues. Fields said he is also concerned about how Athletics is going to cover its $900,000 debt. Cullen said funding for other departments won’t be used to cover the debt. “The Athletics Department will use (its own) revenues generated to pay back their debt,� he said. Cullen said much of the debt will be eliminated through selling private suites at The Pit.
Lissa Knudsen, GPSA president, said graduate students will be greatly affected if faculty members continue to leave UNM because of funding and governance frustrations. “Graduate students come to universities to do research with faculty,� she said. “As the faculty leave, so will the graduate students.� Knudsen also recommended that GPSA secede from the Student Fee Review Board, a group of students who outline how student fees should be allocated. She said graduate students might be better able to allocate their student fees, especially since 85 percent of graduate students who voted in a January special election agreed that Athletics funding should be cut, not increased. “We strongly encourage the regents to invest in faculty and graduate students,� Knudsen said.

monitoring programs, but only 34 are operating. Under the National All Schedules Prescription Electronic Reporting Act signed by President Bush in 2005, more than $50 million has been appropriated to states for programs where doctors and other authorized users, such as police in some cases, can access patient records. The law aims to have a coordinated national system, but there are no estimates what that would cost and a majority of the federal money hasn’t been allocated. Joanee Quirk, who runs Nevada’s prescription monitoring program, said having access to other state databases would help stop those from Southern California or Hawaii who come to Las Vegas or Reno to score Vicodin or OxyContin. Nevada’s four-year-old program has grown to more than 225,000 patient requests in 2009 from about 155,000 in 2008. Most prescription monitoring programs are voluntary, but Nevada requires doctors to check a patient’s drug history during a first visit. “If we took it away, the practitioners would have a revolution,� Quirk said. “It’s almost like getting a lab test, where the doctors are trying to figure out what is wrong with this person and whether they are trying to get drugs legally.�

LOS ANGELES — On his night shift in a busy emergency room, Dr. Jacob Khushigian inevitably finds a few patients more likely to be hunting for drugs than medical attention. The guy who claims he has severe abdominal pain doesn’t grimace when sitting up. A woman who recently moved to the area fails to disclose she sees a doctor elsewhere. An ambulance patient complaining of a sore leg and back doesn’t reveal she was turned away by another hospital. There was a time Khushigian’s hunches took weeks to confirm and required phoning or faxing the attorney general’s office to obtain a patient’s prescription drug information. Nowadays, a computer helps him catch cheaters. But it can only reach so far. While a state online drug database went into effect last year to thwart addicts who bounce from doctor to doctor to feed a habit or make a small fortune peddling meds, there’s now a push to extend it beyond state lines to snare so-called doctor shoppers and curb drug abuse. “The whole purpose of this is to have states communicating with one another,� said Dr. Laxmaiah Manchikanti, chief executive officer of the American Society of Interventional
Pain Physicians. “If you know a patient is abusing, a doctor isn’t going to give that patient a prescription anymore.� Doctors can be hamstrung in making critical decisions about prescribing painkillers if they aren’t able to find out if patients filled prescriptions elsewhere. A nationwide network might have helped Michael Jackson’s doctor better monitor the medication he was receiving from multiple doctors. Dr. Conrad Murray, who was recently charged with involuntary manslaughter in the singer’s death, told police Jackson gave few details when Murray repeatedly asked about Jackson’s medications, according to an affidavit. The Los Angeles County coroner said Jackson was killed by a mix of a powerful anesthetic and a sedative. Police have searched for information in three states to see if Jackson’s medical history played a role in his June death. Jackson’s death and those of other celebrities, such as former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith and actor Corey Haim, highlight the dangers of prescription drug abuse. More U.S. teens used prescription drugs over any other illicit drug except marijuana, the Office of National Drug Control Policy reported. Forty states have passed legislation to allow prescription drug

Spaniards lay siege to Rome, Nadal victorious The Associated Press
ROME — Rafael Nadal won his fifth Rome Masters title in six years, withstanding two rain delays to beat fellow Spaniard David Ferrer 7-5, 6-2 on Sunday. Nadal improved to 10-0 on clay this year and signaled he’s back to dominating on his preferred surface after a series of injuries. He won the Monte Carlo Masters two weeks ago to end an 11-month title drought. “I didn’t play at the level I did in Monte Carlo, but I’m still winning and that’s the important thing,� Nadal said. “I’m probably more happy winning without playing (my) best. It was more of a mental thing.� Nadal showed no signs of fatigue after pulling out a long three-set win over Ernests Gulbis in the semifinals a day earlier. With the 17th Masters Series title of his career, Nadal matched Andre Agassi’s record. Agassi achieved the feat at age 34, while Nadal is only 23. Top-ranked Roger Federer, who was upset by Gulbis in the second round, is second with 16 Masters
Series titles. In contrast to his emotional celebration in Monte Carlo, Nadal was comparatively subdued upon winning, simply raising his hands over his head and letting out a big smile before calmly walking to the net to shake hands with Ferrer. This tournament is an important warm-up for the French Open, which starts May 23. Nadal won four consecutive titles at Roland Garros, before being stunned by Robin Soderling in the fourth round last year in Paris. “It’s important to have the motivation to want to keep improving. That’s the main thing,� Nadal said. Nadal’s only loss in Rome came against fellow Spaniard Juan Carlos Ferrero in the opening round two years ago, when he was slowed by a foot blister. No other player has won more than three titles at the Foro Italico. Nadal won his last seven meetings with Ferrer, who was playing the first Masters Series final of his career. Ferrer indicated that he was
Spain’s Rafael Nadal reacts after he defeated Spain’s David Ferrer at the Rome Masters tennis tournament final in Rome on Sunday. Nadal won 7-5, 6-2.

LeBron heads home to accept second NBA MVP The Associated Press AKRON, Ohio — LeBron James won his second straight NBA MVP award Sunday, dominating the voting just as he dominated the court all season. The Cleveland Cavaliers star received 116 of a possible 123 firstplace votes to win in a landslide over Oklahoma City forward Kevin Durant. Durant was picked first on four ballots, and Orlando center Dwight Howard, who finished fourth, received the other three first-place votes. Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant had no first-place votes and finished third. Voting was done by a nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters, and this year one ballot was cast by fans in an online vote. Players were awarded 10 points for first, seven points for second, five for third, three for fourth and one for fifth. James finished with 1,205 points, nearly doubling Durant (609). His margin of victory is the second largest in history, topped only by teammate Shaquille O’Neal, who won by 799 points in 2000. James is the 10th player to win the award in consecutive seasons, joining Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Tim Duncan and Steve Nash. Russell, Chamberlain and Bird won it three times

in a row. “I never imagined I would be on a list with names like that,” James said. “Those are players I always looked up to when I was a kid.” For the second straight year, James accepted the Maurice Podoloff Trophy in his hometown of Akron. Last May, he returned to St. Vincent-St. Mary High School and received the award in the quaint gymnasium in front of family, friends and the student body. He chose a larger but still familiar stage this year, opting for Rhodes Arena on the campus of the University of Akron. As James’ popularity soared as a prep star, his high school moved many of its games to Rhodes to accommodate overflow crowds and a growing media contingent interested in his story. The ceremony was open to the public, and fans, many of them wearing an assortment of No. 23 James jerseys, stood in line for hours for their chance to witness yet another coronation of Ohio’s basketball king. “Akron, Ohio, is my home,” he said to loud cheers. “Akron, Ohio, is my life, and I love this city.” More than 3,000 fans chanted “M-V-P” when James finally walked on stage to accept his award. He was later joined on the podium by his teammates, each of whom congratulated him with a hug before surrounding him as he completed his acceptance speech.

affected by the rain. “Maybe the court was slower, and I had problems to (end) the points,” Ferrer said. “Of course, Rafael had good chances in the important moments. It’s difficult against him, but I’m happy with my game.” Before a bundled up crowd of 10,500, inside the tournament’s new stadium, both players had to deal with a slippery court and swirling winds. Nadal applied pressure from the start, and, at 2-2, in the first set, Ferrer had to save five break points with some uncharacteristic attacking play, going for outright winners to the corners. Midway through the first set, Nadal won a spectacular point that included a behind-the-back shot from Ferrer. The match was suspended for an hour because of rain with Ferrer serving at 4-4 in the first set. Ferrer maintained his concentration when the players came back out and held serve to take a 5-4 lead, but Nadal broke Ferrer’s next service game when Ferrer’s forehand clipped the top of the net to end a long rally.
DL
Nadal didn’t face a break point until he served for the first set and saved it with a well-positioned serve out wide that Ferrer returned long. On the next point, Nadal moved Ferrer from corner to corner and then rushed forward for an easy volley put away. On his first set point, Nadal hit another solid first serve and Ferrer’s reply sailed long. Nadal broke again in the third game of the second set, and the match was suspended again for 1 hour, 45 minutes — prompting many fans to head home. When the players came out again, Ferrer hit a costly double-fault and followed that with a loose forehand wide to hand Nadal another break and let him serve out the match. Nadal finished with 24 winners to Ferrer’s 15, and had 13 fewer unforced errors. Ferrer had five double-faults, while Nadal had none. He won only 39 percent of the points on his second serve to Nadal’s 67 percent. Nadal collected the winner’s check of $578,000.

Hawks clinch Game 7 in back-and-forth series The Associated Press ATLANTA — With more than three minutes to go, the Atlanta Hawks began pulling their starters. Al Horford flapped his hands, egging on the already raucous crowd. Joe Johnson clapped for the fans, then dropped his head in what looked more like relief than celebration. The Hawks are moving on in the playoffs. What a contrast from the last game in Atlanta. After keeping their season alive with a gutty win in Milwaukee, the Hawks made sure the Bucks were in no position to duplicate their improbable Game 5 road win. Playoff rookie Jamal Crawford scored 22 points. Horford put up a doubledouble, and Atlanta pulled away for a 95-74 win Sunday that gave the Hawks a 4-3 triumph in the tougherthan-expected series. Last Wednesday, the favored Hawks squandered a nine-point lead in the final four minutes, bickered among themselves in the closing seconds and left the court to boos from their own fans, down 3-2 in the series. This time there was nothing but cheers. “We let ‘em down in Game 5,” Josh Smith said. “We enjoyed every minute of this.” The Hawks can only hope they didn’t expend too much energy in the only first-round series to go the distance. Third-seeded Atlanta advanced to face No. 2 Orlando in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Magic, who beat the Hawks in three out of
four regular-season meetings and have been resting since a sweep of Charlotte last Monday, will host the first two games of the series, beginning Tuesday night. For the second straight season, the Hawks won a first-round Game 7. Atlanta improved to 4-0 all-time in Game 7 at home. The Bucks have lost seven of their last eight road playoff games, and their 74 points is tied for the sixth-fewest points in a Game 7 (shot-clock era). “We’ve got to be more hungry and determined to get over the hump,” Johnson said. “We can’t just beat this team based on talent. We’ve got to play harder.” They could get away with less than 100 percent against the Bucks, whose hopes of a playoff upset were essentially undone with about two weeks to go in the regular season when Andrew Bogut tumbled to the court and ripped apart his right arm. The 7-foot center was actually in uniform for the final game, but that was a mere formality —he was done for the year, watching with a large cast on his hand. “We can’t think about all the ifs,” Carlos Delfino said. “Yes, we missed his presence in the paint. But glory to the guys who kept fighting. We just tried to be as positive as we possibly could.” Not much to be positive about in the season finale. The Bucks made less than a third of their shots (28of-86), were blocked eight times and, clearly rattled, threw up at least three airballs. They simply didn’t have enough weapons to cope with an Atlanta team that was fired up and ready to give its best.

Atlanta won 95-74. Rookie Brandon Jennings led the way with just 15 points, but he needed 18 shots to score that many. “I think we were missing one piece, and that was Bogut,” Jennings said. “I wanted to walk out sad, but I had to keep my head up because we were down a couple players (Michael Redd also sustained a season-ending injury). We did the best we could. We showed
a lot of people that the Milwaukee Bucks can actually hang in this league.” Crawford, appearing in the playoffs for the first time in his 10year career, looked like a rookie through the first five games of the series. He was at his lowest after a 4-of-18 shooting performance in Game 5, when the Hawks squandered a nine-point lead in the
final four minutes to put the Bucks in control of the series. But Crawford scored 24 points in Game 6, and the Hawks clamped down defensively for an 83-69 win that sent the series back to Atlanta for Game 7. The decider was no contest. The Hawks led by double figures

Kobe wows Lakerdom yet again The Associated Press LOS ANGELES — While the Los Angeles Lakers’ reserves haplessly gave away the lead early in the fourth quarter, the Utah Jazz celebrated every basket with increasing glee, spilling off their bench in anticipation of an upset. Even the Hollywood crowd was tense, with many fans anxiously waving the giveaway white T-shirts they apparently were too cool to wear. “It was tough,” Kobe Bryant said. “But when it got really tough for me, I just checked myself in.”
to sweep the Horned Frogs. Even if the Lobos won the series, they’d be tied with TCU for the MWC regularseason championship with TCU set to conclude its conference season against Air Force. Thus, UNM’s regular-season championship aspirations would hinge on what both the Lobos and Horned Frogs did in their last conference series. In that regard, though, it would likely take a miracle — and equally cataclysmic TCU choke job — for the Horned Frogs not to sweep the series against the Falcons, meaning if UNM were to stay tied with TCU, it would have to sweep the Utes, as well.
“We’ll have to have a good record from here on out in our last nine ballgames,” Birmingham said. “If we win five of our last nine ballgames, it should put us in a good spot. We’ve done everything we can. How you finish is important, though.”
the court, finishing with 16 points and 15 rebounds. Mike Bibby scored 15 points and hit several big shots, including an off-balance, one-handed fling from 20 feet that just beat the shot clock. Smith also had 15 despite early foul trouble, and Atlanta romped even though Johnson, its best player, was held to 8 points on 4-of-14 shooting. “It’s just so much fun,” said
Crawford, who had played on dismal teams his entire career until getting traded to the Hawks last summer. “It’s like walking on air.” The Hawks had plenty of Game 7 experience, having gone the distance in the opening round each of the last two years. For the second year in a row, they got to play the decisive game on their home court.

including a crucial three-game series with conference leader TCU (33-9 overall, 13-3 MWC), which starts on Friday before facing Delaware State and closing with three games against Utah on the road. “It’s going to be a brawl, and we have to play perfect baseball,” Birmingham said about the Lobos’ upcoming series with TCU. “TCU has dominated this conference. So far, we’ve been the only ones to make a run at them. Here we are again: UNM and TCU for the conference championship, possibly.” At 12-5 in league play, in order to take over sole possession of first in the conference, the Lobos will have

Los Angeles also did it with defense, holding the Jazz to one field goal in the final 4:10. “We put ourselves in a little bit of a hole and let them gain all the momentum,” Bryant said. “At that point, you’ve just got to buckle down.” Los Angeles will host Game 2 of the best-of-seven series Tuesday night. The clubs are meeting in the postseason for the third consecutive year, after the Lakers ended Utah’s last two seasons, including a firstround victory in 2009.

A few minutes after Bryant checked in, the Jazz were checkmated in these familiar rivals’ second-round opener. Bryant scored 11 of his 31 points in the final four minutes, and the Lakers blew a fourth-quarter lead, before rallying for a 104-99 victory Sunday. Pau Gasol had 25 points and 12 rebounds while blocking five shots for the top-seeded Lakers, whose backups were nearly run off the court by the fired-up Jazz before Bryant seized control. Last season’s NBA Finals MVP coolly scored seven consecutive points to erase Utah’s four-point lead,

LOBO TRACK AND FIELD
Zach Gould / Daily Lobo Lobo athlete Kyle Walker took first place in the pole vaulting event at the Don Kirby Memorial Invite Saturday at the UNM Track and Field Stadium.
Vaulter notches personal best in bad weather by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
It is one thing for an athlete in an individual sport to talk about internal competition. It is another thing entirely to witness it. Lobo Freshman Kyle Walker stood about 35 feet from the polevaulting bar that was raised to 16 feet 9 inches — searching, waiting for something. All his competition had fallen. He already won the title during Saturday’s Don Kirby Memorial Invite, after clearing 16 feet 7 inches. Everything now was just gravy on the potatoes. “I never really worry about who is in the competition,” Walker said. “I like it when there are better people, just so I have someone jumping with me, so I am not jumping by
myself. But I always look at it like I am trying to beat my personal best. If I get a lifetime best and still lose, I don’t lose any sleep over it.” On Saturday, that statement seemed irrelevant. Walker won first place and vaulted a personal best. On his last approach, he was only looking to top it. The wind whipped around but cleared for a moment. He sprinted toward the bar, dug his pole in the ground, going vertical before brushing the bar on the way up. “On the last attempt, I kind of felt the pole get stiff on me, so I moved my hands forward and that is when the pole rolled too fast,” Walker said. “And I hit the bar on the way up.” He settled for first place and a new Lobo season record of 16 feet 7 inches. Walker is just one among
a strange breed of athlete — part gymnast, part sprinter — in a sport where patience is as important as is the reckless abandonment of one’s body. The competition is slow and monotonous. It lasted nearly three hours. Most of that time was spent waiting — waiting for the competition, waiting for the wind to clear, waiting to build up the nerve. Then, finally, the jump. “There are times when you don’t feel too comfortable, when the wind is in your face or if it is a bad crosswind on new poles,” Walker said. “I was hitting my comfort zone today.” While Walker soared, his teammate Sam Potter was shot out of the sky. Potter sat across the track watching and cheering on his
teammate and opponent. Potter was eliminated a few jumps earlier. After going vertical, Potter didn’t get the traditional spring out of his pole. He crashed into the bar and nearly missed the safety mat on the way down. He finished in fourth place, clearing a height of 15 feet 7 inches. “I was freaked out when I was coming down,” Potter said. “The wind is swirly, so it makes it hard. I think the reason I fell is the coaches put me on a stiffer pole.” After a close call like that, it is hard to determine what motivates these athletes to keep going. But Potter is unfazed by the dangerous nature of the competition. “The first time I bent the pole — that was the greatest thing known to man,” Potter said. “I bent the pole, got back and it gave me a
fling. After that, I was pretty much hooked. The first time, your brain tells you, ‘No,’ but you just got to go against it.” It is this attitude that coaches look for, Potter said, because it’s a necessary aspect of the sport. “When you are trying to get recruited, they try to see if you are a little crazy,” Potter said. “Because they are going to ask you to do stuff that you are not comfortable with.” That discomfort never really ceases, Potter said. It just becomes routine. “You learn to zone it out,” Potter said. “You get up there (and) are pretty much just worried about the bar and the pole and zone everything else out afterwards. It comes with practice and experience.”
LOBO BASEBALL
Coaches’ rivalry overhyped despite blowout in San Diego by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo
Without Stephen Strasburg, the pitcher Lobo head coach Ray Birmingham once said was rumored to be worth $25 million, San Diego State is worth all of 25 bucks. The Lobos took the rubber match 20-8 Sunday at Tony Gwynn Stadium, snatching two of three games from the Aztecs over the weekend — this coming after the Lobos withered rather embarrassingly on national television Friday night, suffering their first shutout since April 17, 2009. Ironically enough, it was San Diego State and Strasburg that last held the Lobos scoreless.
UNM came within one game of sweeping all six contests between the two supposed bitter rivals this year. Birmingham, though, downplayed any lingering hostility between the two programs. Last year, after the Aztecs beat the Lobos 1-0, Strasburg pumped his fist in celebration. Later, Birmingham remarked about Strasburg’s attitude, though he wouldn’t elaborate on why he said Strasburg needed to control his emotions. Then, the Daily Aztec, SDSU’s student newspaper, quoted Gwynn, SDSU’s head coach, making what could be perceived as forceful comments toward Birmingham: “Just take care of your club,” he said. “I’ll take care of mine.”
Still, Birmingham maintained that the alleged hatred between the Lobos and Aztecs is manufactured. “The only animosity between these two programs was started up by some guy,” he said. “I have all the respect in the world for the Aztecs, and I’m glad we beat them at their place.” After absorbing Friday’s whipping, the Lobos turned in a drubbing of their own Saturday behind Willy Kesler’s arm. The result was a 14-1 victory. Kesler, who last week was named Mountain West Conference co-pitcher of the Week, threw eight shutout innings, giving up only two hits Saturday, while helping Birmingham earn his
100th win as Lobo head coach. Kesler improved to 4-1 overall and fanned seven batters, bringing his season strikeout total to 64. The Lobos’ RPI continues to fluctuate from week to week. They dropped from 28th to 34th in the NCAA’s most recent weekly rankings, but, as of Sunday, the ranking had yet to be updated to reflect the Lobos’ wins over SDSU. More favorably, UNM possesses wins over Texas, which was ranked No. 1 at the time, and USC. The Lobos were twice within one run of beating college baseball powerhouse Arkansas, dropping those games 4-3 and 5-4, respectively. UNM has nine games left — six at home —
