Provost: Juarez unfit for travel by Tricia Remark Daily Lobo
A May 25 e-mail from the Provost’s Office discouraging students from traveling to Mexico caused one of UNM’s summer programs to change its plans. However, at least two other programs based in Mexico still plan on visiting the violence-ridden country. The e-mail said that Deputy Provost Richard Holder is advising students to avoid the Juarez area. It cited an El Paso Times article about a University of Texas at El Paso student who was murdered while driving on a highway outside of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. Carolyn Gonzales, UNM spokeswoman, said Conexiones, a University Honors Program class that was planning to travel to Morelia, Mexico, by bus, is now taking place in Nicaragua. “They were going to drive,” she

UNM mourns students’ deaths
Rollover car crash kills two of three civil engineering students by Shaun Griswold Daily Lobo
Two graduate students from the Civil Engineering department, Yi Huang and Mohammad Minhaz Mahdi, died June 5 in a car accident in Sandoval County. Huang, a 24-year-old student from China, and Mahdi, a 30-year-old student from Bangladesh, both died after their car slid off the road and rolled over three times, according to a representative of the Sandoval County Sheriff’s Department. The two graduate students and another student, Nasrin Sumee, were returning to Albuquerque from a hiking trip at the Kasha-Katuwe Tent Rocks National Monument near Cochiti Pueblo. Huang died at UNM Hospital and Mahdi died at the scene, according to the police report. Sumee survived the crash and is in stable condition at UNM Hospital. She is a colleague and friend who shared an office with Huang and Mahdi.
Students sow seeds
On June 10, friends, instructors and other members of the Civil Engineering Department held a memorial service on campus at the Alumni Chapel. Those who spoke at the standing-roomonly affair remembered Huang and Mahdi as diligent, intelligent students and funny and kind people. “I’m still stunned and shocked by the news,” said John Stormont, a professor in the Civil Engineering department, “They slowly became integrated parts in the department. We are a tight community. Yi and Minhaz were very involved. Their offices were always open for anyone to stop by.” Huang came from China to UNM in 2008. She was studying pavement design and engineering and was expected to graduate this summer. Huang was developing her thesis work through a study with the New Mexico Department of Transportation and the mechanisticempirical pavement design guide (MEPDG). The study evaluates strength
Huang and pavement designs for reliability. Julie Conrood, a Civil Engineering professor, said Huang was writing the conclusion to her thesis. “She was a good student,” Conrood said. “Vibrant, outgoing, always smiling — always.” Mahdi began working on his master’s degree at UNM in the fall 2009. He graduated from The Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology. Before he left Bangladesh, he was an engineer who built and maintained telecommunication facilities.
Mahdi However, during his first semester, Mahdi contracted a serious illness that forced him to miss most of his classes. “He really believed in higher education. He gave me the motivation to start my Ph.D. work,” Mesbah Ahmed, a friend, said. “When he came back from his quarantine, he was very determined, focused and eager to get back to work.” Ahmed began school at UNM at the same time as

for new garden lab by Chelsea Erven Daily Lobo
UNM is now offering a course designed to be a hands-on garden laboratory that will promote local food production. Brendan Picker, one of the class’ three teaching assistants, said the class has been in the works for awhile. “There’s been a growing trend in community gardens throughout the entire country and definitely here at UNM,” Picker said. The class is funded through the Research Service Learning Program, which also opened two work-study positions in conjunction with the class. A volunteer system is also being developed for those who aren’t taking the class but would like to be a part of the community garden experience and upkeep. The class has about 15 students and will include both formal class time focusing on issues of ecology, communication and culture, as well as hands-on experiences planting and maintaining a garden in two sites on the UNM campus. Tema Milstein, who is teaching the class, said the summer course will be about planning, preparing, designing and planting the gardens. She said in future semesters, the

class will be about maintaining and expanding the gardens, doing community outreach and connecting with a student co-op. “We were given two sites, and if we can successfully maintain each site, we will be given more sites, so the garden can spread,” she said. “We’ve got our eye on a triangular patch of grass by the SUB. That would be an ideal spot, because it is high profile and students can go out and eat fresh, organic food grown by students for students.” Milstein said student Alex Borowski originally came up with the idea of planting community gardens on campus. In November, Borowski and a group of his friends planted a garden in the courtyard outside Hokona Hall but UNM Physical Plant asked Borowski to dig it up because he hadn’t asked for permission to plant it. Another group of students, called the “Seeds of Rebellion,” decided to start a community garden. The group found potential sites for the class and started getting permission for it to become a reality. “They did the grunt work,” Milstein said. “They didn’t touch any seeds or any earth, and, when their class ended in May, we still didn’t know whether

said. “They usually rent a van or take a UNM van and drive. They were going to go on that same highway where the two UTEP students were killed, and so they’ve opted to just do something completely different.” Caroline Muraida, a student in Conexiones, said students will go to Casa Xalteva, a school in Granada, Nicaragua, where students can learn Spanish. Ken Carpenter, associate director of UNM’s Offics of International Programs and Studies, founded Casa Xalteva. “We’ll be learning Spanish at the Casa Xalteva school, maybe teaching English, and basically having the same Conexiones experience — just in a different country,” Muraida said.

School of Management program. She said she isn’t disappointed about the change in plans. “I was really pumped to go to Mexico, but when I found out we were going to Nicaragua instead, I just got really excited,” she said. “It’s a great chance to practice my Spanish in a country that’s not as familiar as Mexico.” Despite safety concerns, Gonzales said other UNM programs are still traveling to Mexico, including a School of Law program based in Guanajuato, Mexico, and Communication and Journalism’s Cross-Border Issues Group, which is traveling to Michoacan, Mexico, as well as Guatemala and Honduras. UNM is taking extra security precautions for students who are traveling out of the country this summer, Gonzales said. “They’re keeping track of who all (are) Editor-in-Chief Pat Lohmann Managing Editor Isaac Avilucea News Editor Leah Valencia Assistant News Editor Tricia Remark Staff Reporters Andrew Beale Shaun Griswold Kallie Red-Horse Online Editor Cameron Smith
going where,” she said. “They have full itineraries of what people are doing, access to people while they’re down there and encouraging students not to go through the border.” Richard Schaefer, a faculty mentor for the Cross-Border Issues Group, said he warns his students to be aware of their surroundings. “Don’t do things that young people often do — hitchhike, use alcohol, that kind of stuff,” he said. Schaefer said students benefit from traveling internationally because they gain new perspectives and learn about different cultures. He said students in the Cross-Border Issues Group study immigration policy and use video and radio media to report what they’ve learned. “There are so many misconceptions about

what Mexicans are like in our own media in particular,” he said. “Students are going to understand these people a lot better and understand why people migrate.” Since the program is insightful to students, Schaefer said he is pleased that UNM administrators didn’t cancel all programs traveling to Mexico. “I think the easiest thing for University administrators to do in a situation like this is to cancel all programs,” he said. “I appreciate the fact that the administrators at UNM understand the value of international programs.” Gonzales said that the Provost’s office made some funds available for students to use toward flights to Mexico. She said the money can be used to offset the costs for students who were planning to drive.

and before each class, Yi would come up to me and say, ‘Hey professor. Good morning,’ as a joke,” he said. “She could also pretend to walk like some of our professors to make us laugh. She could imitate how we all walked.” Like Huang, Mahdi loved the New Mexico outdoors and wanted to find a job in the U.S. after school. Mahdi was known for working late hours, even sleeping in his office. He did this so often that Ahmed said he bought him a sleeping bag to take to work. He loved to cook his favorite dish, Kichuri, an Indian comfort food made with rice and lentils.

Ahmed said he will remember his friend, Mahdi, for the wisdom and encouragement he provided. “He once told me, ‘Enjoy the coffee, not the cup,” Ahmed said. “He changed my way of thinking about my research.

vehicle to travel to potential garden sites and help community partners with starting new gardens. Young said the program costs about $12,000, but all of it came from private donors. Milstein said that the Lobo Gardens class will benefit the community. “I think this is going to be a great opportunity for hands-on learning that each UNM department and the surrounding community can really get something out of.”
On May 20 police responded to an auto burglary incident at the 900 block Yale Boulevard. A woman returned to her vehicle after work to find someone had broken the driver’s side window of her 1998 Volkswagen Golf. The woman reported missing three items — two CDs, a pair of jumper cables and silver handcuffs. There are no suspects or witnesses. UNMPD has closed the case pending further information. On May 23 a woman reported that her purse was missing from an auto burglary incident. UNMPD later found the purse, but all items inside were missing. According to the report, the woman said she parked her 2006 Nissan Armada on the third level of the UNM Hospital parking structure. She returned two hours later to find the passenger door window broken. Her purse was the only item missing, according to the report. While police were searching for security surveillance, they found a black purse, but most of the items, including a wallet, identification cards and credit cards were reported missing. The woman confirmed the purse was hers. No surveillance footage could be obtained because the vehicle was parked away from the scope

The owner of the truck, a 2000 Ford F350, said he was missing three items — a ban saw, a SAZ saw, a drill and a fluke meter — totaling $1,000.

Bankrupting BP hurts wrong people by Carrie Summer
Harvard Political Review I’ve been following the BP oil spill situation with some interest, and I think America has gotten it all wrong. The anti-corporation, anti-business sentiment is nothing new. Neither is the anti-big oil sentiment. But on closer inspection, this kind of attitude makes very little sense, and the way the media is feeding into it (in some cases) just serves to increase the confusion. We all hate that toxic, disgusting oil is pouring into our gulf, washing up on our beaches and killing wildlife. We hate that fishermen and other business (such as hotels in Florida), through no fault of their own, will be financially hurt by the spill. They do need help in order to survive, and we as a nation should support them. However, it makes very little sense to blame BP. What I’m asking is: What does it mean to blame BP, and what are the consequences of punishing it? BP is a corporation made up of and built by over 90,000 employees worldwide. Since the spill, its share price has been halved, wiping out $84 billion dollars in market capitalization. Analysts have quoted a wide range for the potential cost of cleanup, claims and legal fees from $30 billion to $50 billion. Yesterday, as shares plunged another 15 percent, rumors started to fly that BP would soon either go bankrupt or be taken over by another oil company like Exxon or Shell. The probability of either of these happening depends on the size of the fine that the U.S. government levies on BP, which in part depends
enraged excitement over ocean and wildlife, no one has spoken up (and in general, in these situations, ever speaks up) for these other potential blameless victims. I realize that sometimes you need to punish severely in order to deter others from repeating the same mistake. We don’t want to exact such a small fine on BP that other big oil companies think it’s OK to scrimp on safety and cause more environmental disasters. Exxon was probably let off too easily (ending up with a $2.5 billion fine); BP perhaps thought it could win a reprieve just as Exxon did. However, there’s no reason to let oil-covered pelicans outweigh all other considerations in making a judicious, pragmatic decision. Ultimately, we want to punish the corporation enough to warn others to be careful, extract the necessary resources from the company to pay for the cleanup, and let loose America’s fury only upon the specific decision-makers who were responsible for the oil spill. My last point concerns the way that demonizing BP overlooks the positive story here. Who are the engineers who work tirelessly day and night to come up with innovative and technically challenging solutions to contain the spill? As much as we like to make fun of “Top Kill” and “Junk Shot,” shouldn’t those engineers get credit for preventing the country’s worst oil spill from becoming even worse? I think it would be a far more productive and uplifting media story to celebrate the BP engineering heroes who have already made so much progress.

on the political response to the anger and frustration of the American people. But if we insist on putting the blame on BP broadly, who actually gets hurt? If the company goes bankrupt, thousands of people who work for BP in the U.S. may lose their jobs. A secretary, accountant or engineer who is just doing his or her job cannot be said to have any responsibility for the spill. Yes, get rid of Hayward and figure out whose ass to kick, but be specific about it. The top management should go, and punish those responsible for criminal violations of safety regulations lower down the chain as well. But there’s no reason for Americans to ask their politicians to destroy the company through legal damages and by forcing the company to pay the wages of workers who have been laid off because of the moratorium on deep-water drilling. If the company is charged a huge fine (say, $20 billion), its stock loses all value, and it’s taken over by Exxon or PetroChina, who gets hurt? The employees who are laid off for “cost cutting” during the merger will be hurt. All the people in the U.S. who own shares of BP will be hurt. These are not necessarily the Wall Street tycoons that we all love to hate, but regular Americans who have BP stock in the mutual funds of their IRAs and 401(k)s. Some $84 billion has already been lost in the past two months because of BP’s misfortunes. The Brits are desperate about the damage that BP’s stock bust has done to the pension funds of the middle class. What about the owners and employees of the 11,000 BP gas and service stations around the country? In the

Now that summer has arrived, the financial aid checks have cleared, and we have paid our bills — or most of our bills — it’s time to do something for you. There is a long list of things we would like to spend our leftover bucks on. I decided on a haircut. Being of the
activist mindset, and quite partial to doing a little here and there for others, I wanted to donate my hair. The best part of donating hair is that unlike many other forms of charity, it doesn’t require extra time or money. You are already in the chair, and it’s not like you are going to save the cut hair, right? Let me offer you some options for your homeless hair. Locks of Love is an organization that collects 10 or more inches of hair that has not been chemically treated. The hair is used to make wigs for kids with cancer who have lost their hair in chemotherapy treatments. Locks of Love manufactures wigs that do not require tape or glue, making it easier for the wearer to put on and remove the wigs. The organization is dedicated to restoring a sense of self-confidence in kids who are selfconscious about their hair loss. Wigs for Kids
is another organization that benefits children with hair loss. According to its website, Wigs for Kids give wigs to children that have lost their own hair from burn accidents or other health problems. The Matter of Trust organization is another option. This organization works nationally with many hair salons to collect any length of hair cuttings to use to absorb oil from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. All of these organizations are nonprofit. So now that I feel good about a new look from my recent visit to the salon, I also feel even better about my decision to donate and the difference it can make. It didn’t cost me any more than the price of a haircut. www.WigsForKids.org www.LocksOfLove.org www.MatterOfTrust.org

In this Honors seminar, Albuquerque is the laboratory where methods of observation and investigation will be tested. Readings will include Rudolfo Anaya, Levi Romero, V.B. Price, Jimmy Santiago Baca, and more! Guest speakers will provide additional resources. by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
Graham Gentz is a modern-day Renaissance man in the vein of the Shakespearean characters he portrays. Gentz, a junior majoring in creative writing and astrophysics, is an aspiring scientist, actor, screenwriter and director. He’s one of the actors in the Summer Shakespeare Festival. Also, he likes climbing trees. DL: So let’s talk about this play you’re going to be in. I have been told it’s a modern interpretation of Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew,â€? right? From what I have heard that means some modern additions, like the “D*** in a Boxâ€? SNL viral video a while back. GG: I don’t want to give too much away, but, yes, in the text anyway there are a lot of d*** jokes. It’s a surprisingly funny play. It’s nothing but innuendo and sick jokes, some of which are really shockingly graphic. There is a “D*** in a Boxâ€? joke in there. DL: Not in the original, though, right? GG: It’s original. What has been changed is ‌ the power anyone has when they direct Shakespeare is all words. There’s 1 percent stage direction. It wasn’t written the way plays are written now. One of my beefs with people studying Shakespeare in school — it’s great that Shakespeare’s being exposed — you don’t really get it just reading it for a class. It wasn’t written to be read. When Shakespeare wrote his plays, he wrote them on a bunch of different scripts and handed them out to the actors. Shakespeare, at the very least, is meant to be spoken aloud or heard or performed. You don’t really get it if you’re just reading it. DL: So what you’re saying is that with a modern interpretation you can change how it’s spoken or performed? GG: All Shakespeare, the way it’s written, is so dense and so complex and levels of innuendo and things archaically lost, so there are a lot of things that don’t make sense. Things like “Much Ado About Nothing.â€? In Elizabethan England one of the common slang words for your d*** was your, “thing,â€? and so thus
being ‌ the opposite of a d***, a vagina, was a “no thingâ€? because they didn’t have a thing. So it’s, “Much Ado About No Thing,â€? so it’s, “Much Ado About P****,â€? is what the play means. DL: How did you come by that double major? GG: In high school, I really wanted to study physics, but along the way I did some internships with Sandia Labs. There were other creative interests. I’ve done theater, and I started writing plays after a while. So I started off as a creative writing major, but I think I needed physics in my life. Instead of choosing, which was difficult, I just decided to double major. DL: Has that had any interesting ramifications? I think people tend to see the sciences and creative arts separate of one another, so what’s that been like for you? GG: Theater is ‌ I like acting, but eventually at some point in high school, I started writing and directing plays, which taught me to be a better actor. And acting taught me how to write and direct better. I got my film certificate over at CNM, too. That’s all part of the same thing too. Usually, when I tell people I am double majoring in physics and creative writing, they’re like, “Oh you’re going to write books about rockets.â€? That’s not at all what it is about for me. Writing, being the creative part, can teach me the most about things that I like: film, theatre, acting. Being a better writer will make be better at everything. DL: So you said at some point you needed physics in your life. Could you explain that more? GG: At some point in grade school, there was a magical moment where it clicked for me. The teacher started going on this tangent. It was sixth grade or something, and he started talking about the Grand Unified Field Theory, which was the Holy Grail of physics. It blew my mind. I knew it was something very important. Nothing really excited me the way that did. I mean, I liked reading. I liked film. Physics was something really, really special. I felt like I really needed to stick to that, even though for the past four years, I‘ve been doing mostly the creative thing.
DL: So it’s all been going along well, then? GG: Yeah it is. I am only starting to do heavy math again, which used to be a huge part of my life. The novelty is back, and it’s exciting. It’s great.

Salsa Directions: You’ll want a food processor for this one. You can find them cheap at a thrift store, which is where I scored mine for $4. Start by processing the tomatoes, chile powder, salt, lime and lemon juice and cilantro. Once you have a juicy consistency, add the kiwis, garlic, jalapeño and the onion. Process everything in the food processor and chill for an hour.
Salsa ingredients: 5 large tomatoes 1 tsp. red chile powder 1 tsp. salt 1 tbsp. lime juice ½ tbsp. lemon juice ½ cup cilantro 3 peeled kiwis 4 cloves of freshly peeled garlic 1 fresh jalapeño (cut in half, remove seeds and stem) ½ of medium sized red onion
Tortilla Chips Directions: Prepare a dinner plate by placing paper towels on it. Have them handy as you add layers of chips from the skillet. You will want to use a large deep skillet. A cast-iron pan is preferred and generally cheaper at thrift stores, too. I found one for $1.50. Fill the skillet with oil, and bring to a near-boil. Cut the stack of corn tortillas in half, then in half again. This should leave you with stacks of small triangles. Sprinkle a dash of water on your oil in the skillet — if it dances, it’s ready for frying. Slowly and carefully add corn tortilla triangles. Let them sit until golden brown and then remove and place on paper towels on the pre-prepared plate. Continue until you have them all fried and stacked. Let them cool to touch carefully. Once the chips are cool, toss in a bowl and sprinkle them with chile powder and salt. Once the salsa has chilled, you can serve chips with salsa and enjoy! ~Jenny Gignac

Albuquerque festival not just for old folks by Candace Hsu Daily Lobo
Folksy fun is returning to the Duke City for the 12th time in the form of the Albuquerque Folk Festival. The lineup offers activities for the young and old. Gary Libman, the festival co-director, said the gathering gives fans and musicians an avenue to express themselves artistically and musically. “It is a great way for people to get involved,” he said. “It allows people to bring their craft, songs, dance, music and art to share.” The festival will have a main
stage with some celebrities including Bayou Seco, Blue Canyon Boys, Fishtank Ensemble, Los Primos, Robin and Linda Williams and Their Fine Group, and Wagogo. Several smaller stages will also offer local talent. “We found all the main stage artists through their agents,” Libman said. “We know the music community of Albuquerque pretty well, and because of that we get to know a lot of people. We are all connected. Most of the local artists are involved because we asked them to offer their talent for free.” The festival will have workshops all day for the jaw harp, ukulele, autoharp and tin whistle. Experts will
also demonstrate the art of quilting. “People will just have an enjoyable time,” Libman said. “Bring old instruments and participate. This festival is critical in this day in age. It is time for people to go and relax a little bit. It forces people to be motivated to enjoy their lives beyond their work schedule. We need to keep folk traditions alive.” Libman said the event doesn’t turn a profit, and the money goes strictly to putting on the festival. Any leftover money goes toward next year’s festivities. Erika Gerety, a co-director with Libman, has been involved in the festival for 10 years, but she has been director for four years.
In recent years, Gerety said festival organizers have made an effort to make the event more enjoyable for everyone. “We have some new things going on this year at the festival. There will be a talent show for kids. There are also more dances this year like the Greek dance and no borders dance. We have a Pete Seeger tribute singalong on Saturday as well,” Gerety said. These additions to the event should enhance the atmosphere of the festival, Gerety said, so she encourages people to come out. “People need to just take a chance and try something new,” Gerety said. “If you think it is just an-
other folk festival where you just sit and listen, you should think about it in a new way. Stretch yourself.”
later this month canceled their plans last week after receiving a flood of angry phone calls and warnings of protests by nationalists, who have been screaming slogans outside the Tokyo office of the Japanese distributor in recent months. Protesters criticize the film as a betrayal of Japanese pride. The American movie, this year’s winner of the Academy Award for
best documentary, features undercover footage of the dolphin hunt in a Japanese village and documents efforts by Ric O’Barry, a former trainer for the “Flipper” TV series, to stop the slaughter of dolphins for food. Distributor Unplugged said it was negotiating with dozens of theaters throughout Japan, but no showing has been scheduled so far. The film was shown at the
Tokyo International Film Festival in October, but has not yet opened to the Japanese public. Movie director Hirokazu Koreeda, journalist Soichiro Tahara and feminist Chizuko Uneo were among the 55 public personalities who signed a protest letter in which they said they were alarmed by the intimidation tactics used to pressure theaters to cancel the planned screenings.
“This is a film that has been widely shown abroad. If the work, which is about Japan, cannot be shown in Japan, it only underlines the weakness of the freedom of speech in Japan,” they said in the statement sent to media and Unplugged on Monday. They said that opinion may be divided on the film, but that meant it should be shown to a wide audience to encourage debate.

Five Lobos headed to play in majors by Shawn Abeita Daily Lobo
It’s the big leagues for five Lobo baseball players. The UNM baseball team had five players drafted in the 2010 MLB Draft on June 8, 9 and 10. Although no Lobos were taken on the draft’s first day, four players were taken on the second day and one on the final day. The Lobos send two starting pitchers and the heart of their batting order from the 2010 season to the professional ranks. UNM head baseball coach Ray Birmingham said he is not surprised that five Lobos were drafted this year. “I thought seven were going to come out of this draft,” Birmingham said. “At least.” Junior catcher Rafael Neda was the first player taken in the 10th round (309th overall pick) by the Milwaukee Brewers. Two Lobo pitchers were the next players to be taken in the draft. The Seattle Mariners took Willy Kesler in the 18th round with Kenny Toves following. Toves was selected in the 21st round by the Florida Marlins. “I thought I would be a little more relaxed, but when I got the call it was an overwhelming feeling of excitement,” Toves said. “I couldn’t stop

He was taken by the Milwaukee Brewers. smiling for an hour after I got the call.” Rounding out the draft were Justin Howard and Ryan Honeycutt. The Pittsburgh Pirates selected Howard in the 24th round. On the final day of the draft, the San Francisco Giants picked Honeycutt. Honeycutt was the Lobos’ primary designated hitter and batted in the clean-up spot for the Lobos this season.
He had a .353 batting average with 78 hits, 11 doubles, 55 RBIs and six home runs this season for UNM. Birmingham said four additional seniors Max Willett, Chris Juarez, Daniel Gonzalez and Edwin Carl had an outside shot at being drafted by MLB teams. Even though the Lobos lost three upperclassmen, Birmingham said he expects his future teams to continue to achieve the goal of making it to
Omaha one day. “Our program has had 11 guys go pro in the last two years — actually, 14 in the last three years — and I think our program will continue to improve,” Birmingham said. “I think the guys drafted will do great. They are wonderful people. They made us all proud, and I love them immensely. I wish them the best, and I think they will make a run at the big leagues.”

Charlie Litchfield / AP Photo Boise State head football coach Chris Petersen answers questions from the media following a news conference at the school in Boise, Idaho, on June 11. School officials announced that Boise State will leave the Western Athletic Conference in 2011 to join the Mountain West Conference
MWC opens arms to Boise State Staff Report Daily Lobo
Welcome to the mountain top, Boise State. On June 11, Boise State University became the 10th member of the Mountain West Conference. The Broncos, who left the Western Athletic Conference (WAC), will join the Mountain West Conference effective July 11, 2011. “There is no doubt the addition of Boise State strengthens the membership of the Mountain West Conference,” Athletics Director Paul Krebs said in a statement. “Most people know about Broncos football, which has been
among the nation’s best for the past decade, but they really have a strong athletics program across the board. They won the overall sports title in the Western Athletic Conference this season and currently rank 58th in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup. They also have a very strong (Academic Progress Rate).” Boise State becomes the second school to join the MWC in the last six years. This is the first time since a new institution has joined the conference since TCU was added in 2005. UNM head football coach Mike Locksley said the addition of Boise State, a football powerhouse,
bolsters the MWC’s argument for inclusion in the Bowl Championship Series. “The Mountain West Conference showed its commitment to getting a BCS bid with the addition of Boise State,” Locksley said. “Boise State enhances the MWC from a football standpoint and strengthens our push for national recognition. BSU, with its two BCS bowl appearances, adds validity to an already strong conference, and we look forward to playing them on a regular basis.”
WARNING!
Slovenia to face U.S. in Highly readable content. upcoming match By Karl Ritter
Associated Press POLOKWANE, South Africa Hey England and America, look who’s on top of your World Cup group. Little Slovenia! Robert Koren scored a late goal Sunday to give Slovenia a 1-0 win over 10-man Algeria in the teams’ tournament opener, putting the World Cup’s smallest nation — population 2 million, about the size of Houston — ahead of the United States and England in Group C. The Slovenian captain struck a long-range shot that Algeria goalkeeper Fawzi Chaouchi misjudged and allowed to bounce into the net off his arm in the 79th minute. “I was just lucky to see it go in like that,” Koren said. Algerian coach Rabah Saadane said the new World Cup ball was a challenge for goalkeepers. “Everyone saw what happened with the ball, and what happened yesterday with England’s goalkeeper,” Saadane said. “You have to adjust to the flight of the ball.” Algeria substitute Abdelkader Ghezzal was ejected seven minutes earlier, picking up a second yellow card for handling the ball inside the Slovenian penalty area. It was the first World Cup victory for Slovenia. The Balkan country lost all three of its group matches in the 2002 tournament. “It was a mental victory,” said Slovenian coach Matjaz Kek. “We wanted to win so much, so it’s great
for our confidence to get that win.” Both sides knew they were heading into a match in which a loss would be costly, with England and the United States -- both higher ranked -- left on the schedule. The Group C favorites tied 1-1 Saturday after a blunder by England goalkeeper Robert Green allowed Clint Dempsey’s shot to trickle into the net. Algeria twice came close to scoring in the first half, when Nadir Belhadj’s 25-yard free kick forced Slovenia goalkeeper Samir Handanovic to stretch and push the ball over the crossbar, and when defender Rafik Halliche headed the ball just wide. Algeria coach Rabah Saadane said Chaouchi apologized to the team for failing to track Koren’s shot. But the coach refused to criticize the goalkeeper. “We must recover and prepare for an even more difficult match against England, which is the best of the group,” Saadane said. “It’s going to be very difficult now. We had a great opportunity today and we missed it.” The players seemed nervous in the first half, frequently losing possession with inaccurate passes and crosses. Slovenia’s only scoring chance before the break was Valter Birsa’s long-range attempt in the 43rd minute, tipped over the bar with a spectacular right-hand save by

Rainy conditions dampen results for esteemed runners by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo
UNM track and field athletes and fans alike faced a bittersweet — but mostly bitter — end to the NCAA Championships. It started with Sandy Fortner in the heptathlon, who dropped out after the shot put. Because of rainy weather conditions in Eugene, Ore., Fortner, who was ranked fifth going into the event, fouled on all three of her throw attempts, causing her to drop to 22nd in the standings. Fortner then decided to withdraw from the event. “It was kind of like a comedy of errors,” head coach Joe Franklin said. “There were a lot of expectations all around. Very few people get the opportunity to do what we were trying to do, but it just didn’t happen. We had things go wrong just about everywhere.”
World Cup
The rainy weather continued to take its toll on the Lobos as the weekend progressed. Ruth Senior ran the 3,000-meter steeplechase in the rain and took a tumble in the water pit, resulting in a ninth-place finish. “It was something that we didn’t have to deal with this year,” Franklin said. “We’re hot and dry here.” Chris Barnicle got off to a good start in the 10,000-meter run, but his shoe came untied in the second lap of the race of the 25lap race and started to slip off his heel in the wet weather. Later, he was spiked in the heel which caused him to drop out of the race. Remarkably, nothing went wrong for Deanna Young or Lamaar Thomas, aside from average finishes. Young finished 14th overall in the women’s triple jump with a mark of 4110.5, while Thomas finished 22nd overall in the 100-meter run with a time of 10.65.
Jacob Kirwa fared better in the 5,000-meter run, finishing 18th overall with a time of 14:11.83. In the finals of the 1,500-meter run, Lee Emanuel finished in sixth place with a time of 3:48.61. Things were looking up for Emanuel as he ran a blistering fast opening lap of 49 seconds in the championship race. He dropped down to fifth place at the 700-meter mark but came back strong to lead the race around the 1,100-meter mark. In the last 200 meters, three Oregon runners, including Emanuel’s rival Andrew Wheating, passed Emanuel to take the top three spots. “I am devastated,” Emanuel said. “I went out to win, and it didn’t work out today. It was not for a lack of effort or desire. I wanted to go out on a high, and it just didn’t happen.”
Franklin said Emanuel’s competitors expected him to run aggressively from the start, and that’s why it didn’t work this time around. As a result, Wheating won the 800-meter run and the 1,500-meter run, and Emanuel finished in sixth, earning All-American honors. “Lee, in all of his national championships, he has been very predictable in what he’s done, which is go out very hard and will it through attrition,” Franklin said. “And he’s very, very talented. Everybody knew what he was going to do. … He went, but everybody went with him, and he didn’t gap them.” Franklin said he was proud of the Lobos’ performance, regardless of the results. “Fortunately, you’re not defined by one episode,” Franklin said. “You’re defined by what you have done over a course of a career, and those kids have done amazing things.”

Chaouchi. The match could have taken a different turn two minutes before Koren’s winner when Algeria’s Karim Ziani caught defender Marko Suler off-guard and pushed toward the Slovenian goal, but was cut off by Handanovic. There was some commotion in the stands during the break when former France great Zinedine Zidane, who is of Algerian descent, was forced to climb to a higher section to get away from autographseeking fans who were pushed back briskly by security guards. Algeria beat North African rival Egypt in a tense playoff to qualify for the World Cup for the first time since 1986. Slovenia reached its second World Cup with an upset playoff victory over Russia. Slovenia faces the U.S. next, while Algeria travels to Cape Town to take on England.
