District offers golden transit ticket

by Chelsea Erven cerven@unm.edu

Passengers riding the Rail Runner Express are now able to connect to any Rio Metro Regional Transit District bus for free with a valid Rail Runner ticket or monthly/annual pass.

Chris Blewett, Rio Metro Regional Transit District staff director, said this year the district consolidated and expanded its transit services to include all bus services in Sandoval County, Rio Rancho, Belen and Los Lunas. Rio Metro now controls and funds both the bus and the Rail Runner, Blewett said.

“Most of the buses that connected with the Rail Runner were actually already free, but we wanted to connect all of them and make all of

them free,” he said.

The change went into effect Aug. 16.

Augusta Meyers, Mid-Region Council of Governments Communications manager, said the Rail Runner is the backbone of the Rio Metro Transit District.

“We wanted to reevaluate the bus systems and routes to make these branches and Rail Runner transportation as effective as possible for everyone in the community,” she said.

UNM partnered with the Rail Runner to provide two morning and two 5 p.m. shuttles from the downtown Rail Runner station to UNM daily.

Danielle Gilliam, UNM’s Parking and Transportation Services Alternative Transportation Information representative, said UNM has been working with the Rail Runner to provide reliable

transportation for students.

“UNM and the Rail Runner are partners in providing sustainable and convenient transportation,” she said.

Meyers said riding the Rail Runner to UNM or anywhere else within Sandoval County, Rio Rancho, Belen or Los Lunas areas is more convenient now that passengers only need to have one ticket to connect to almost anywhere in the region.

The last suspect in a university book theft ring was arrested, and officials in the Bernalillo County District Attorney’s office are ready to prosecute the racketeering ring after more than three years of investigation.

“All of the other defendants have been arrested at some point in time.

We opted to wait until the last defendant was arrested until we proceeded,” District Attorney Kari Brandenburg said.

The Aug. 17th arrest was the seventh person prosecutors suspect was involved with a ring that stole books from UNM’s Medical Library, other commercial bookstores — like Sammies’s — and sold the books back to the UNM Bookstore.

“We suspect that there were five people who were the ringleaders,” DA Public Information Officer Pat Davis said. “One worked part time at the Bookstore. He’d get a list together of the most profitable books and pass them onto friends to go steal.”

Since 2007, it is estimated that the thieves stole more $10,000 to $12,000 from libraries in five different states.

Besides New Mexico, the regional operation targeted libraries and bookstores in Arizona, Colorado, Texas and Nevada, Davis said.

“Instead of trying to prosecute for each book, we had to wait until we arrested each person suspected to be involved because we feel they were an organized crime element,” he said. “They had a sole purpose of conducting an illegal business based off the stealing and selling of

New alert system has opt-out policy

by Leah Valencia

news@dailylobo.com A new emergency alert system, LoboAlerts, is replacing TextMe as the method the University uses to inform students of emergencies on campus.

LoboAlerts, which is being implemented this semester, is a system that automatically signs students up to receive alerts.

Byron Piatt, Emergency Operations manager, said the old system only allowed small numbers of people on campus to receive alerts.

“This is an opt-out system versus an opt-in system,” he said. “We were able to take everyone that has an active role with the University — all student, faculty, staff, hospital employees — and preload them into the

system.”

If a student had a cell phone number in the banner system, it was automatically loaded into the LoboAlert system, Piatt said. With the TextMe system, students had to sign up and create an account.

Piatt said the process took several months to set up, but it is now seamless for students to be added to the system.

“If a student were to register today, within 24 hours they would be in the Lobo Alert system without any additional input on their side,” he said.

Piatt said the new system, which includes sirens, e-mail messages, text alerts and webpage updates, would make it easier to notify the majority

LETTER Aristotle, “logic” have no bearing on gay marriage Editor, I saw the letter Benjamin Sanchez wrote against gay marriage in the Daily Lobo on Monday. I thought that, as a philosophy major who specializes in being unreasonable, I could take a whack at responding to it.

The first problem with Sanchez’s argument is that it cites Aristotle. I’ve had to read more of that grumpy old guy than I care to admit. Oh, don’t get me wrong – he was a smart dude who had some interesting things to say about pretty much everything.

The problem is that the argument tries to use Aristotle to justify restricting people’s rights more than 2,000 years after he died in an entirely different culture and situation.

Keep in mind that Aristotle, working from the same premise Sanchez cited, believed slavery to be natural and correct. The philosophies of thinkers much more closely related to 21st century America, like Mills, Rawls and Lady Gaga lead me to the opposite conclusion: It would be wrong for the majority to strip a minority of a right that harms no one.

But even if we were to go with Aristotle, it still wouldn’t prove a thing about gay marriage.

That letter seems to imply that it flows obviously and incontrovertibly from the fact that there are two biological sexes to the conclusion that those two sexes should only have sex with each other, and anything else should be prohibited.

Leaving out the issue of people with multiple gender identities and/or genitalia (sorry to keep bringing up Lady Gaga), Sanchez reads his own interpretation of sexuality into the biological facts.

Sure, conception requires the union of a sperm and an egg. What bearing does this have on the rules we make governing the complex social institution of marriage? Not a darn thing. Do you remember that part in biology 101 where we learned that gay marriage was wrong because of the formation of zygotes? Me neither.

By Sanchez’s reasoning, should the government ban women from using in vitro fertilization? Should the state require all married couples to produce children? Should it be a federal or state prohibition on the sale of hand lotion to single men?

None of these activities bring together the holy combination of man, woman and childbirth.

Yet I hope one would agree with me that none of them should be banned by the government.

The answer, certainly, to these questions does not lie, as Sanchez claims, in cold, biological fact or unassailable rational truths. Sanchez needs to step forward, own his beliefs and not blame poor old Aristotle. He has enough to explain.

by Jenny Gignac Opinion Editor

As I lean back on my ergonomic Home Solutions desk chair and bite into my Starbucks spinach and feta wrap, I can’t help but think of how irritated I’ve become by the subtle sponsorship plugs that occur in movies these days.

It really gives me the kind of grief-induced headaches that Tylenol Extra Strength can’t cure. The last time I watched a movie on Netflix, I counted eight of them. I was so disturbed I immediately pulled out my iPhone and sent a text to my friend about it. Subtle sponsorship in movies bothers her as well. I mean,

something.” This got me thinking. I took out my Macbook later that night after I tucked him into his Serta mattress bed under his Target comforter. I Googled ‘shameless sponsorship’ in movies. Immediately an ad came up for Bed Bath & Beyond, which I thought was ridiculous. Everyone knows the outlet charges way too much for Martha Stewart linens.

I browsed a little more on Safari, but no one really had any answers to the big question. Seriously, we pay outrageous prices at Century Downtown theaters to see a movie and eat popcorn priced so high that Orville Redenbacher would be resurrected just to be subjected to ads?

I am going to put up a post on Facebook and try to get some feedback on this issue. I can’t be the only person who thinks the studios are wrong and taking us for fools. My girlfriends and I were doing a little shopping the other day at the mall — the Gap was having a huge sale — and they all agreed with me on this matter. Every one of them promised to do their part in making other people aware of it, too.

Maybe with enough support, these senseless violations on our movie time will stop.

The next thing you know, I will be seeing shameless ad plugs in the books I read on my Kindle. When will it stop?

seriously, who do they think they are attracting here? I don’t go to Best Buy for my Sheryl Crow CDs because I saw her perform in a movie. (By the way, her latest album, 100 Miles from Memphis, is not her best work.) I go to places and buy things of my own volition.

Movie sponsorship hints have no effect on me. OK, maybe once I got a Coke from the concession area because I saw Michael J. Fox chugging one back in Teenage Werewolf at a theater when I was 15, but only because it did look pretty refreshing.

The only way we are going to stop these corporate pushers is if we boycott this kind of advertising. I may be as crazy as a Crate and Barrel, but I think if we speak about our intolerance, MGM Pictures might just listen.

I think that what worries me the most is how many children are being lured into this senseless and shameless promotion. My son and I were talking about this subject just the other day, because I wanted to see if he was being affected by this problem as much I was. We had just gotten home from getting ice cream at Ben and Jerry’s and were about to play a game of Scrabble when I asked him if he thought kids his age were being affected by this.

He scratched his head, moved his New York Yankees MLB baseball cap a little to the side, and said, “Mom, everybody plugs

UNM president deserves better in troubled times Editor, I am sure many will wonder why I would defend President Schmidly and his staff in light of all the controversy.

I have never been at a place that didn’t voice some type of complaint against its leader. Have you? While I won’t defend their actions, I still respect them. For instance, I don’t like President Obama, but I’ve respected him enough to defend him against accusations thrown by my fellow conservatives.

When we show disrespect, it hurts us more than it hurts them. We lower ourselves when we do this. Not to mention it’s just plain rude. I know this because I’ve done the same thing.

After reading all the comments, I took some time and researched the complaints against Dr. Schmidly: He doesn’t make more money than any other university president in the nation. The

highest paid presidents make around $1 million.

All leaders are accused of cronyism.

UNM’s student-to-faculty ratio is in the normal range.

UNM struggles with the academics-versus-athletics-program issue just like any other university.

Most schools complain that there is an issue between administration and faculty.

He gets cancer treatment out of state because the treatment for this type of tumor has not been perfected in New Mexico.

When it comes to education, the burden is on the student, not the professor. My kids have known this since they were in elementary school.

Many schools across the nation are cutting jobs. So far, he has done an excellent job keeping everyone employed.

He is not responsible for the Duck Pond incident this summer, an incident where ducks and fish died.

How he performed at other universities is a matter of opinion and hearsay.

While all serious matters evoke emotion, strong feelings should be used sparingly in dealing with the situation. If we don’t control our emotions, then we won’t be guided by reason. None of us should be applauded when we behave this way. It’s an awful feeling when emotions are used to guide actions. I personally feel like a 5-year old when I do it.

Dr. Schmidly is not perfect. He has issues and there are problems, but we still need to respect him and his office.

While we have the right to vent in private about this matter, going public to make false accusations, humiliating him in front of others, sending hate mail and using his cancer as a target for jokes does nothing to bring about a real change. It interrupts meaningful dialogue, and in the end, we make ourselves look worse than the person we are attacking.

‘True poverty’ seen on trip abroad

by Ruben Hamming-Green rhamminggreen@gmail.com

Economics professor Matias Fontenla’s goal was to show his students poverty.

Over the summer, he led a group of 18 students to Nicaragua for a trip through the poverty-stricken jungle region along the Atlantic coast.

For 28 days, they trekked though jungles to find villages disconnected from the rest of the country.

“I wanted them to see true poverty,” Fontenla said. “Even though New Mexico is one of the poorest states in the U.S., the difference is 40-fold.”

Several different UNM departments sponsored the program, including the Office of International Programs and Studies, the Latin American and Iberian Institute, the Department of Sociology and the Anderson School of Management.

In Nicaragua, medical school is free, Fontenla said. After students finish school and complete a one-year residency, new doctors work in re-

mote villages for two years. The health care there is not on par with America’s, he said, but there is one doctor and nurse per village.

“You find small towns on the Atlantic coast that are completely off the grid. They’re completely untouched,” Fontenla said. “And they’re Africans ...

And they’ve been living there for 400 years.”

Fontenla said the language there is a unique mix of African and Latin American languages and English, French and Spanish – the language itself is a record of history.

In 1979, the latest chapter in the language’s evolution began, with the victorious Sandinista government sending teachers, bearing Spanish vocabularies, to each village in an attempt to improve the nation’s low literacy rate.

Fontenla’s focus of the trip was the “economics of poverty,” something he said cannot be studied fully without seeing and living in poverty firsthand.

“Their entire focus, their entire energy is on trying to survive ... trying

to eat for a day,” he said. “That’s economics for you.”

Katie Hancock, a Spanish major, said she learned “110 percent” more than she ever would have in a classroom setting.

“Being in a place that’s completely different from the United States, and making it normal to you, was so profound,” Hancock said. “It made me want to be a better person in the world.”

She also said it changed her perception of the world, even down to the way she thinks.

“Now I’m looking at things in a three-dimensional way, really trying to analyze things more,” Hancock said.

Ken Carpenter, the Office of International Programs and Studies associate director, said study abroad programs help students get jobs after they graduate.

“Being a foreigner in another country is really the best preparation

fraudulent textbooks.”

Davis wouldn’t release the suspect’s name, he said, due to pending litigation. However, Davis was UNMPD public information officer during the 2007 investigation.

“The Bookstore helped us with the investigation by providing video tapes showing the suspects stealing and selling books and receipts of transaction on buybacks,” he said.

Melanie Sparks, UNM Bookstore director, said the Bookstore makes sure to track each student’s buybacks with their banner ID number. To avoid further theft, Sparks said each employee is taught during a mandatory customer service training to look

out for any suspicious behavior.

“The books were brand new and we could tell some did not come from here and we became suspicious when we would ask students if these were their books,” she said.

“You could tell they would feel uncomfortable.”

Sparks said at one instance she contacted UNMPD when a student was obviously flustered.

“Police came and talked to her and asked where she got the books,” Sparks said.

Because Bookstore policy requires a Lobo ID to sell a text book back to the store, the group persuaded unsuspecting UNM students to

sell the stolen text books back, Davis said. While most students had no idea they were contributing to illegal activity, one student was fully aware he was selling stolen books. Davis said that student is one of the seven suspects.

“All of the suspects were equally involved at different times,” he said.

With the semester beginning, the bookstore will be busy at all times during the day. UNMPD Spokesman Lt. Robert Haarhues said the time is ripe for thieves to steal books.

“Some kids can’t afford to buy the books, so they might steal,” Haarhues said. “You can steal a $200 book and you can get $60,” he said.

ALBUQUERQUE — Two escaped convicts from Arizona and a woman who accompanied them kidnapped an Oklahoma couple and gunned them down so they could steal their camping trailer, prosecutors said Monday as they released chilling details about the group’s crime spree.

The murder and carjacking charges against John McCluskey, Tracy Province and Casslyn Welch provided a clearer picture of their time on the run and showed how the fugitives turned to killing as they became increasingly desperate.

McCluskey told an FBI agent after being captured last week that he killed Gary Haas with a single shot near the temple, then fired three times to kill Linda Haas, according to a criminal complaint. When the fugitives noticed blood was dripping from the trailer, they doused it with liquor to set it ablaze on a dirt road before heading to Wyoming.

U.S. Attorney Kenneth Gonzales said all three defendants could face the death penalty if convicted of killing the Tecumseh, Okla., couple.

The Haases, both 61, were traveling to Pagosa Springs, Colo., for a camping trip and were simply “two people on vacation who happened to be at the wrong place at the

The criminal complaint released Monday said the fugitives saw the couple at a rest area along Interstate 40 in eastern New Mexico Aug. 2, three days after authorities say Welch helped the men escape from the Arizona State Prison in Kingman.

The three were tired of traveling and sleeping in a car they had stolen in Flagstaff, Ariz., and decided “it would be a good idea to target someone driving a camper or trailer,” the complaint said.

McCluskey and Province followed Linda Haas from the trailer to her truck and forced the couple at gunpoint to drive while Welch followed in the car.

Gary Haas suggested the three could leave him and his wife with the 32-foot trailer and take the truck. But McCluskey parked the vehicle in a remote area of Guadalupe County, ordered the couple into the camper and shot them, leaving the bodies inside, the complaint says.

McCluskey drove to a gas station

“It’s great to have our students study with international students, because they really learn so much from each other,” Carpenter said.

UNM hosts 147 international exchange students and has 111 students studying overseas for the semester, Carpenter said.

Fontenla said he hopes to do another trip soon.

“This has been the most important and most meaningful teaching experience I’ve ever had,” Fontenla said.

“I’ve been teaching here for five years, and this is what made the most difference in my students”

for learning how to get along with other people and how to understand differences,” Carpenter said. “And employers are increasingly valuing that.”

OIPS also organizes the international exchange program, which brings foreign students to UNM for a semester.

Ex-Marine convicted of murder

by Emery P. Dalesio Associated Press

GOLDSBORO, N.C. — A jury on Monday convicted a former Marine of first-degree murder in the death of a pregnant colleague who had accused him of rape, a charge that stalled the military career he treasured.

Cesar Laurean, 23, of Las Vegas, was found guilty of killing Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach, 20, of Vandalia, Ohio, in December 2007. The two were assigned to the same logistics unit at Camp Lejeune, the base in Jacksonville that is home to about 50,000 Marines.

The former Marine corporal was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The victim’s mother, Mary Lauterbach, read a statement before the judge imposed the sentence. She told Laurean to look at his mother and see the pain in her face. “I feel so sorry for your daughter.

BOSTON — Some Massachusetts towns have given up enforcing a law that decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana, saying the law is written with too many loopholes to be effective.

The law established a civil fine of $100 for those caught with an ounce or less of marijuana. That replaced what had been a criminal offense carrying a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $500 fine, also for possession of an ounce or less of the drug.

But the law — overwhelmingly passed as a ballot measure in November 2008 — does not require offenders to correctly identify themselves nor does it provide a way to force them to pay the fines.

That has led to a patchwork of enforcement across the state, with some

Alerts

communities handing out hundreds of civil citations and others turning a blind eye to personal marijuana use.

“A number of communities have tried, but a number have just given up,” said Wayne Sampson, executive director of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association.

Police officials say that with most civil citations, such as speeding tickets, there are repercussions for those who don’t pay the fines. In some cases, police can even levy criminal charges against people who fail to pay.

But they cannot do so in the case of possession of less than an ounce of pot. The only recourse for city and town clerks offices is to take offenders to small claims court, which clerks say isn’t worth the time or effort to recoup $100.

“The ticketing of the individuals isn’t effective without a backup or other consequences for nonpayment of fines,” New Bedford Police Chief

Ronald Teachman said.

Other officers say they’re handcuffed because the law doesn’t require people caught with small amounts of marijuana to provide identification.

“If they tell you their name is Yogi Berra or Ronald McDonald, nothing allows for further positive identification,” Sampson said.

Police chiefs have pushed for legislation to strengthen the law’s enforcement and to require offenders identify themselves, but Sampson said legislators suggested they wait until the law had been in effect longer.

Despite the challenges, officials in the state’s major cities said they are still enforcing the law by handing out civil citations to violators.

“Our job is to enforce the laws,” Worcester police spokesman Sgt. Kerry Hazelhurst said. “That is what we have been doing.”

help students who have restrictive messaging plans.

“It gives them an option to opt out,” he said. “But our preference is that no one opts out.”

The entire notification system will be tested at the beginning of every semester, including the University’s emergency siren system. The next test this semester is scheduled for Sept. 4 at 11 a.m.

Piatt said students should seek shelter in the nearest building when the siren sounds.

The sound will last for one minute and then be followed by an “all clear” sound, indicating students may go about their business.

Piatt said UNM is one of many universities using emergency sirens to improve campus safety.

“It is to warn students of all

prospective hazards, not any one issue,” he said. “Many other college campuses are having similar sirens installed to warn of emergencies such as severe weather conditions or dangers on campus.”

Junior Samantha Eastham said it makes sense to have an alarm for emergencies.

“I didn’t know about the siren, but I think if I heard it I would stay inside,” she said. “I think it is useful and will make campus a safer place.”

The emergency notification system was one of UNM President David Schmidly’s initiatives.

“This system will be a faster messaging system,” he said. “It is finding out all the facts of the incident and sending the message out that can be a time consuming process.”

UNM senior Andrea Maestas said she hadn’t signed up for the TextMe system and had never really found a need for it.

“I had never found the time to sign up for it before,” she said. “But I can see how it could be useful.”

Maestas said she doesn’t think emergencies happen often enough on campus to make the system necessary.

“I think people might opt out because the messages might bother them,” she said.

Piatt said the option to take one’s name off the list is meant

The weight of a passenger bus caused a collapse in the road.

in Santa Rosa and gave money to Province to purchase fuel, according to the complaint. He couldn’t do it “because he was covered in blood.�

That’s when Welch noticed blood leaking from the trailer door. She cleaned up much of it, but Province told FBI agents he saw brown stains at the bottom of the door and on the ground below.

McCluskey drove onto a dirt road to find a place to abandon the trailer. While Province unloaded the Haases’ dogs and dumped food for them, Welch and McCluskey poured liquor onto the trailer’s floor and fixtures, set it aflame and left. “Before leaving the area, they made sure that the fire had taken and was burning well,� the complaint said.

The three drove the truck and stolen car to Albuquerque, where they bought brake fluid and paper towels to wipe down the truck “in hopes of eradicating or concealing their fingerprints,� the complaint says. The vehicle was found two days later at a shopping center.

An 80-year-old New Mexico woman is accused of beating her husband after he had lunch with another woman.

According to court records, Bernalillo County sheriff’s deputies arrested Frances Starustka on Friday after responding to domestic violence call.

Starustka is charged with false imprisonment.

Court records say she became upset with her husband and started hitting him.

According to the records, she pushed him to the ground, and kept pushing him down.

McCluskey’s fingerprints were recovered from plastic wrapping left inside the truck, and investigators determined blood smears found on the truck matched one or both victims.

Province asked McCluskey and Welch to take him to Yellowstone National Park, so they drove him there. Province, 42, was arrested Aug. 8 in Meeteetse, Wyo., and has been returned to Arizona.

After the last confirmed sighting of McCluskey, 45, and Welch, 44, on Aug. 6 in Billings, Mont., the cousins were captured at a campground near Springerville, Ariz., on Thursday. Authorities said McCluskey expressed regret at not having killed the U.S. Forest Service ranger who led to their capture.

Gonzales said efforts were under way to extradite McCluskey, Welch and Province to New Mexico.

Asked at a news conference Monday if New Mexico would become the first place to prosecute the three for their crime spree because it is the location of the most serious charges, Gonzales said, “That’s certainly our position.�

Her tights are noteworthy because of the tribal spirals and classy when mixed with low-profile flats.

Tip to the Fashion Defunct: “Start simple. Don’t try to do something super fashionable if you don’t really have a fashion sense. Just go with a nice jeans and a good T-shirt. Just go from there.”

Sesame Street runs through Africa

by Jon Gambrell Associated Press

LAGOS, Nigeria — It looks a lot like “Sesame Street,� only that’s no Cookie Monster. “What is so exciting about yams?

Everything!� Zobi, a taxi-driving muppet, shouts in a Nigerian lilt to anyone who will listen. “I can fry the yam. I can toast it. I can boil it. I love yams!� “Sesame Street,� once a mainstay for a generation of Nigerian children who grew up with the U.S. show on the state-run TV network, will return to screens in Africa’s most populous nation this fall, funded by American taxpayers but distinctively Nigerian.

Produced and voiced by Nigerians in formal — if squeaky — English, the show aims to educate a country nearly half of whose 150 million people are 14 or younger. Its issues focus on the same challenges faced by children in a country where many have to work instead of going to school: AIDS, malaria nets, gender equality — and yams, a staple of Nigerian meals. “Nigeria is diverse; we have 250 different ethnic groups, so many different languages. We don’t have the same customs; we do think differently,� executive producer Yemisi Ilo said. But “children are children.

All children love songs and all children love furry, muppety animal-type things.�

Renamed “Sesame Square,� the show will air 26 episodes in the first of its scheduled three seasons, with one show for each letter of the alphabet.

The lead muppets are Kami, whose yellow fur matches the dandelion on her vest, and Zobi, who resembles a mint-green shag carpet. Kami is an

This photo released by the Sesame Workshop in Lagos, Nigeria shows muppets Kami, left, and Zobi, the two main characters in Nigeria’s upcoming “Sesame Square.� orphan with HIV who explains blood safety to children through her own story. Zobi, whose yellow cab lacks an engine, teaches by ineptness, getting entangled in a mosquito net while explaining malaria prevention.

They live not on a fictional U.S. city street but in “Sesame Square,� whose concrete homes and slatted windows mirror those found in Nigerian villages. “A village square is somewhere where people gather around, it’s the news and information,� Ilo said. “It’s all across Nigeria.�

The muppets’ adventures take place between original recorded “Sesame Street� segments, re-dubbed with Nigerians voicing the parts of familiar characters like Bert and Ernie.

One live-action scene shows hijabwearing girls in the Muslim-majority north kicking a soccer ball and proudly saying they can do anything a boy can do.

The Sesame Workshop, the nonprofit that oversees “Sesame Street,� received a five-year, $3 million grant from the U.S. Agency for International Development. That comes after the government agency funded a 2007

pilot project featuring Kami and Big Bird discussing HIV infections and AIDS. The new series underscores the ever-broadening reach of “Sesame Street� since it debuted in the U.S. in 1969. The Sesame Workshop has overseen short- and long-term productions of country-specific shows in more than 140 nations, ranging from “Rechov Sumsum� in Israel to South Africa’s “Takalani Sesame,� where Kami first appeared.

But Nigeria represents the first effort to bring a long-term “Sesame Street�-styled program to West Africa, said Naila Farouky, an international program director for the workshop. Discussions continue about potentially expanding into Ghana and Southern Africa, she said.

Nigerian grown-ups like producer Jadesola Oladapo can still hum “Can You Tell Me How to Get to Sesame Street?� The show marked the start of the broadcast day on state-run television into the 1980s and whenever the theme song came on, “I would run to make sure my chores were done,� she said. “Sesame Square� still faces the challenge of winning a mass audience in a country where most people earn under a dollar a day. TV sets and DVD players aren’t enough; organizers bring generators to power them, in an oil-rich country whose national power grid is in shambles.

Still, for children gathered on the worn floors of community centers and rundown schools, “Sesame Square� offers a glimpse of something beyond crushing poverty. “We had comments from children asking if these muppets are from heaven,� said Ayobisi Osuntusa, who oversees outreach for the program.

Dear Fellow Students: The Mountain West Conference Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) believes the most important aspects of sport are good ethics and positive sportsmanship. We are very pleased the Conference continues its initiative to enhance this philosophy. We need your assistance to make this effort a success.

The SAAC believes that, in order for an institution to convey a message of good ethics and positive sportsmanship, it must have the involvement and participation of everyone involved with athletics on campus. This includes, but is not limited to, the President, athletics administrators, coaches, student-athletes and you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the students/fans. It is our behavior that will shape the perception of our institutions and teams by the public, the media and our opponents.

Good ethics and positive sportsmanship are philosophies that must be displayed both on and off the playing field. We must take a leadership role to compete at the highest levels, always endeavoring to win, but doing so with grace, class, dignity and respect.

Please join us in supporting the Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sportsmanship Initiative. Such an effort will help make the Mountain West Conference one of the premier athletic conferences in the country, and represent our institutions well.

Cordially,

The Mountain West Conference 2010-11 Student-Athlete Advisory Committee

Jessie Hudson is, by her own admission, obsessed with jellyďŹ sh. Hudson, a senior majoring in studio art, paints the creatures in a variety of styles, ranging from oil painting to comic-book-style printmaking. Her work can be found hanging on the walls at Winning Coffee Co. The Daily Lobo sat down with Hudson to discuss art, comic books and (of course) the gelatinous sea creature.

Daily Lobo: So what attracted you to jellyďŹ sh?

Jessie Hudson: I had a relative that told me they were more like fungi. Like when you destroy the top, they turn into more. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m kind of a hippie in that sense, like, fungi is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeping life together. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty interesting things. And theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re gorgeous.

DL: You have a lot of different styles, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the same subject matter in all the styles. What inďŹ&#x201A;uenced your different styles?

JH: I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partly artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s block. You know, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like I was obsessed with jellyďŹ sh, and I had painted enough of these soft, stylistic jellyďŹ sh. But one day I was just, like, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what to do to branch out, so I should probably just try treating them in a different light.

DL: How would you characterize the different styles?

JH: All of my really small pieces are very rushed, so I feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very cartoony. Most of my bigger pieces are unreal colors and unrealistic forms. And all of my prints, those are extremely solid. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to characterize them.

DL: I was in here with a friend the other day, and we were trying to ďŹ gure out if the prints, are, like â&#x20AC;Ś Do you print them out on the computer and color them in?

JH: Oh no, those are hand prints. That one over there is dry-point etching, so we get a piece of Plexiglas and dry-point onto it, and then we roll the ink on and then rub the ink off, and then we run it through a press. These ones are acid-dip, so I use a tree branch and a small piece of burlap sack, and then I spray-painted lacquer onto it. Everywhere the tree branch and burlap sack was blocking didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the acrylic spray on it. So then when I dip it into the hydrochloric acid for 45 minutes, it ate away everywhere where there was no lacquer on it.

DL: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about some pretty complicated techniques here, like dipping stuff in hydrochloric acid.

JH: Not too complicated. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a ďŹ rst-level print making.

DL: Did you learn this stuff at UNM?

JH: CNM. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I learned the print making. But UNM is all the painting.

DL: The prints are kind of comic-book style. Was that intentional?

JH: Yeah. Most of my other art is comic book interpretations of my friends. Like, I actually have a small comic book put together of Tucker vs. Bradford. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re two friends of mine that we all think act like mad scientists. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big comic nerd.

DL: Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favorite comic?

JH: Umm â&#x20AC;Ś the ďŹ rst one I ever read was Lady Death. I know thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little intense, but, you know, the ďŹ rst one you ever read kind of gets you for life. And besides that, I like the classics, like old Spider Man. DL: What are some of your other inďŹ&#x201A;uences in your other styles?

JH: My other styles of art. Umm â&#x20AC;Ś Probably my family was really big on it, because they wanted something to hang up in their house. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really â&#x20AC;Ś I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say â&#x20AC;&#x153;properâ&#x20AC;? people, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to hang my comic-book stuff on their wall. So thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what got me into, like, using a lot of oil paint instead of acrylic, things like that.

DL: Howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d you end up getting your art exhibited at Winningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s?

JH: You can just ask them, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give you a month.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably have to wait, like, three or four months. And sometimes they ask to see your portfolio. But I was rooming with one of the employees, so he had already seen all my art.

So it was really easy to walk up and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hang my art for a month.â&#x20AC;?

DL: Would you like to add anything else about the jellyďŹ sh as metaphor?

JH: One of the best things is that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re kind of open for interpretation. A jellyďŹ sh in itself, is part of countless different species of creatures. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s some jellyďŹ sh, like the Portuguese Man oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;War, that is not even a jellyďŹ sh. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually four different colonies of bacteria growing together. But it looks like a jellyďŹ sh. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convergent evolution. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really interesting.

DL: Have you ever been stung by a jellyďŹ sh?

JH: Yeah. I stuck my hand into a jar that someone had a jellyďŹ sh in at the aquarium.

DL: What inspired you to do that?

JH: They told me I could, but not to touch the tentacles. I stuck my hand in, and deďŹ nitely the tentacles got me. The opportunity inspired me.

“That’s the sort of stuff you wouldn’t get out of your basic mall shop,” she said.

In this vein, she said customers don’t come to the shop in search of the skater look, but rather quality products. Over the years, Montes has seen so-called “hip” new products enter the market. However, her own discretion has kept many of them off the shelves because she said they are lower quality.

“We just don’t offer low-quality products,” she said. “Even if we carry something that’s cheap price-wise, everything is a good quality product.”

Seven years ago, the Silver Skate Shop began with five boards, a handful of Silver Skate Shop shirts and a mini ramp.

It’s this passion, she said, that differentiates her from competitors who run their shops by the book. Montes said it’s not unusual to see skaters testing out boards in the shop.

“I would say we’re definitely more of a hands-on skate shop.

We’re not necessarily a ‘don’t touch’ place,” she said.

That attitude has transformed the shop into something of a hangout spot for local skaters, Montes said, and she often considers her customers her friends.

Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. — A declawed, defanged bear is chained to a stake as hunting dogs bark and snap, trying to force the bear to stand on its hind legs. The training exercise called bear baying is intended to make the bears easier to shoot in the wild and it’s only allowed in South Carolina.

Armed with new undercover video of four such events, the Humane Society of the United States is pressuring state officials to explicitly outlaw the practice, which the organization says is effectively banned in every other state. Animal rights advocates say it’s cruel to the nearly defenseless bears and harms them psychologically.

Hunters say the exercise popular in the state’s hilly northwestern corner helps them train their dogs on what to do when they come across a bear during a hunt.

But John Goodwin, the Humane Society’s chief animal fighting expert, calls it “bear baiting” — a centuries-

old bloodsport that is more for spectators’ entertainment than instruction for dogs on what to do when they encounter wild bears.

“This isn’t about training dogs.

This is a competition,” Goodwin said a news conference in Columbia on Monday in conjunction with the public release of the videos. “If this is their idea of training a dog for hunting, then they’re sending that dog on a suicide mission.”

State law on the issue is murky.

Statutes banning animal fighting have a specific exemption for dog training.

And while South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster says animal cruelty laws prohibit bear baying, he hasn’t prosecuted any cases.

On Monday, a spokesman for McMaster’s office said prosecutors were reviewing the videos.

The videos, which were filmed with hidden cameras by activists posing as spectators, show an adult black bear standing on all fours, its back to a 4-foot-high wooden fence, tethered to the ground by several feet of chain.

Crowds of a few dozen line the dirt pen around it.

The bear rises onto its hind legs as three hounds sprint toward it, which is precisely the point: Hunters have a better chance of killing a bear swiftly with a shot to its exposed underbelly.

The unleashed dogs bark, show their teeth and swat at the bear, which lunges to the end of the chain, then backs up against the fence.

Moments later, handlers pull off the dogs. A new team of dogs — most of them Plott hounds weighing about 50 pounds — soon takes on the roughly 150-pound bear. Dozens more will follow.

“We really view this as a throwback to the days of the Roman Colosseum, when people filled an arena as spectators to watch animals pitted against each other,” said Michael Markarian, the Humane Society’s chief operating officer.

Animals regularly died bloody deaths during the ancient battles Markarian references. But the Hu-

Adulterous play entertains despite fire alarm

by Graham Gentz

culture@dailylobo.com “Same Time, Next Year” by Bernard Slade is a different, feelgood kind of adultery.

The set and premise are simple: A man and woman meet in a Californian seaside cottage for extramarital sex and conversation one day a year for 24 years.

The play is split into two acts, each consisting of three scenes, and each scene takes place about five years apart.

It begins in the dawn of the 50s and drifts through the next two and a half decades, which means you spend a lot of time on stage with just the man and the woman. That’s not a bad thing.

This journey of time, not space, is helped along by a huge screen on the back wall of the cottage, which most of the time illustrates a painting of the ocean, but, when accompanied by era-specific music, provides contextual pop-cultural images signifying passing years between scenes.

This is a fine idea, if not a little obtuse at times. It gives the audience something to look at while necessary backstage preparations

Bear Fights

are made. It’s better that than the audience sitting in uncomfortable, dark silence.

But how the screen was first executed at the top of the show was rather strange. The house music, old-timey and soft, is faded and the play begins with the entrance of an uncredited maid character who switches the radio to the most bizarre, jarring music. She begins littering the space with clothing. The painting then begins a slow, awkward slideshow of a man and woman doing nearly nothing.

Why the clothes couldn’t have been set before the show is inexplicable, other than allowing the maid something to do while the audience watches a series on nonsensical slides with no context.

That done, the first scene opens to the couple, “George” (Vernon Poitras) and “Doris” (Tawni Waters), waking up in bed together, and the audience begins to grasp the shape of the epic journey through life it is

relationship.

Except not for very long, because then the fire alarm goes off.

Actors and audience alike freeze. The wonder ends when Poitras turns directly to the audience.

“Unfortunately, this is real,” he says, which elicits a laugh, and the audience files out of the theater.

After waiting in the parking lot, the stage manager informs the audience that there is, in fact, no fire at all. Patrons file back into the theater, where Scene II begins again from the top, the audience applauding George’s reentrance.

Personal evolution is a central theme here, with both characters changing, growing and receding, and then changing again in each passing scene. Credited largely to the challenging performances of Poitras and Waters, the subtle changes are more interesting.

George, unmanageably gawky and young, slowly grows a pair before our very eyes. Doris begins as a simple woman without

“Unfortunately, this is real,” he says, which elicits a laugh, and the audience files out of the theater.

mane Society’s videos show no bloodshed. Handlers need their dogs healthy for hunting, and the bear is needed for more exercise sessions.

Along with staging activities such as dog races and field trials, hunting groups hold competitions in South Carolina to see whose dog team can most quickly get the bear to rise up on its hind legs, or “bay.”

“It’s just training,” says Brian Kelly, a hunting enthusiast who organized a bear baying in Greenville County in February. “There’s no dogs that get in any conflict with the bear, and the dog does not get hurt.”

Kelly said the bear is kept in a cage while dogs on 3-foot leashes bark at it, with judges rating the dogs on how well they pay attention to and become accustomed to being close to the much bigger animal.

That description isn’t backed up by the Humane Society’s videos, which clearly show the dogs and bear swatting each other. The dogs aren’t on leashes, and one of them was injured after the bear slapped it, Markarian said.

The only time the bear is shown in a cage on-screen is in the bed of a pickup truck, either before or after the baying.

Markarian said bear baying is illegal in all states but South Carolina, though a review of some of those laws shows the ban is by default. North Carolina, for instance, has a law against

It starts slow, and the opening scene is weak, listing mostly details about the characters’ personal and separate married lives.

Despite its weakness, this is the

keeping black bears in captivity except for zoos or for scientific research, but have no explicit ban on baying.

South Carolina’s ban on animal fighting has an exemption that allows bear baying, as long as there is no “repeated contact” between the animals.

When the attorney general was asked to weigh in on the issue in 2008, McMaster issued an opinion saying he views the practice as illegal under the state’s animal cruelty law.

Bear hunting is permitted for two weeks each October in only three counties in northwestern South Carolina. Last year, hunters bagged 92 bears — the most ever recorded in a season.

For a limited time in 2005, the state Department of Natural Resources issued 38 permits to keep bears for baying, all for bears that were already in captivity as pets or in small zoos. Fourteen of those bears have either died or been let go, leaving 24 permitted captive bears, according to regional wildlife coordinator Tom Swayngham.

At least eight of those animals are used for baying in the three counties where bear hunting is permitted, Markarian said. But the same bear showed up in all the events taped by the group’s investigators, he said.

The man identified by the Humane Society as the owner of that bear did not return repeated messages left by the AP. State records show he has permits for five black bears.

starting point from which their dynamic narratives begin.

Scene II jumps four years ahead, with both George and Doris still mostly unchanged, but they begin laying the foundation for their recurring discussions centralized on their guilt and love and the problems of maintaining such an unorthodox affair in the form of an extended

a high school diploma, but bit by bit crawls her way up the ranks of education until she discovers her natural talent for business.

Each fundamental difference occurring in the characters per half decade was rather flat and ordinary.

For example, after the second intermission, Act II opens in mid 60s and the Vietnam War, the duo find themselves at odds with Doris becoming a full-blown hippie and George as a stiff-necked conservative.

In the next scene, five years later, the tables have somewhat turned, with Doris a liberated business woman obsessed with “The Deal,” and George wearing bellbottoms and talking about feelings.

One character matures while the other falls back; then in five years, the reverse. They always complement each other, sometimes in an obvious political way, but sometimes more subtle — one fertile, one impotent. And in the end, the audience cares about what happens to each of them.

This ebb and flow is the human condition, and it is what “Same Time, Next Year” is all about.

From page to screen to audience, the Albuquerque Film Festival covers it all.

Running from August 25-29, the local fiesta consists of movie screenings, music, panels and other events held throughout the city.

Rich Henrich, founder and executive director of Film4Change, the nonprofit organization presenting the festival, is the man running the show behind the scenes.

“Film festivals are the modern day version of the campfire, where we gather around and listen to stories,” Henrich said.

While the affiliated story time treat has changed to popcorn from, say, a can of beans, the creation of this communal environment is why Henrich started the AFF last year.

The difficulty arises in organizing the means to share these types of tales.

“It’s a much bigger challenge in year two because of the state of the economy,” Henrich said. Working from a budget of $10,000 composed of generous sponsor support, the festival also operates on a 100 percent volunteer basis, Henrich said.

His biggest struggle of managing such a production on little means is “herding cats.” This is no bearded collie’s fantasy, but a matter of realizing a vision that consists of smaller moving parts.

This year features a broad scope of movies, with some that played at other prominent festivals, such as Sundance and South by Southwest.

“I really wanted to expand our program from last year (by bringing in) some of the top independent films that are out there right now,” Henrich said.

The genres of the featured feature films, many of which where shot in New

Albuquerque Film Festival

August 25-29, 2010 Various Locations Albuquerquefilmfestival.org Mexico, range from the “redneck” comedies like “American Cowslip” starring Val Kilmer to moving documentaries like “Absent.”

While the tax incentives are supportive for local business, Henrich said people need to look beyond the economic impact of film and be attentive to the message each story sends.

Thus, many of the films take on socially conscious themes, including the American Ferrara-led opening night picture “The Dry Land,” which examines soldiers’ post-war lives. This year also boasts a partnership with the Leopold Legacy Film Series, a collection screened primarily outdoors that deals with environmental topics, according to its website.

“I always look for strong films that use the narrative form to really talk about a social ill,” Henrich said. “And then there is the other side. Festivals have to be fun, too.”

So if PTSD or conservation isn’t it your idea of fun, there is levity to be had in this year’s additional events.

Among many other screenings, musical performances will also be daily occurrences with acts by Waylon Payne, The Muddy Waters Band, Bill Harvey and local bands Pierre and Queensryche.

In addition, Graham Elwood, best known for his “Palm Strikes” and ComedyFilmNerds.com podcasts, will be returning to Albuquerque. He visited UNM last year, touring with comedian Doug Benson, to promote AFF online

with filmmaker interviews and host the awards ceremony.

Henrich said his aim is to educate the community about film by providing access to strong panelists and workshop leaders.

Sebastian Twardosz, the teacher of this year’s workshop “How to Make it in Hollywood,” said people want an immersive experience. Twardosz was a development executive at Tom Cruise’s production company.

“The whole experience of movies is actually more than just watching,” Twardosz said. “It’s talking about them, learning how to make them and how to get people to watch them.”

In his class, Twardosz demystifies Hollywood.

“I try to show how the film business works, from the studio system to agencies to independents, and how to navigate it,” he said.

Twardosz wants to help everyone succeed by clearing up the misconceptions and idealizations.

“A lot of people come to Hollywood, especially when they are young, and think if they work hard or they’re a good person they’ll succeed, and that’s not true,” he said.

Other workshop topics include screenwriting, acting, financing and directing. All events taking place on campus are free, including other film screenings on Johnson Field and at the SUB and student exclusives, such as a visit from Todd Napier, a visual graphics artist from the effects team behind “Alice in Wonderland.”

“Not everybody has the resources to come out to LA to learn these things,” Twardosz said. “You can go to film schools, the Internet, or you can go to a festival that is local to you and learn from panels.”
