UNM greases the wheels with biofuel by Michael T. Ruhl Daily Lobo

UNM took a step toward reducing its carbon emissions this week by introducing the Veggie Bus, a shuttle powered entirely by waste vegetable oil. The oil comes from the kitchens of La Posada, the SUB and the cafeteria of UNMH. The University would otherwise pay $300 a week to dispose of the oil. The shuttle starts running along the Redondo route today. Senior Crystal Wong designed the bus’s exterior decor, which depicts the Sandia Mountains and sunflowers. Wong said the theme was community and sustainability. The sunflowers represent the vegetable oil used to power the shuttle, and the Sandia Mountains and sky represent Albuquerque and all of New Mexico, she said.

Parking and Transportation Services Director Clovis Acosta said the organization will test the economic viability of the alternative energy shuttles before converting more of the fleet. Acosta said the shuttle is one of many efforts the University has undertaken to reduce its carbon footprint. “It’s a matter of being a symbol of thinking green,” he said. Cynthia Martin, PATS program planning manager, said the converted shuttle was old and would have been retired soon if it hadn’t been turned into the Veggie Bus. The shuttle’s fuel comes from Albuquerque-based Southwest Bio Fuels. The owner, Nathan Gonzales, said his brand of B-100 vegetable fuel runs in all diesel engines. He said he will soon produce 2,000 gallons of the environmentally-friendly fuel daily.

President David Schmidly has a to-do list for the 2009 school year. In Schmidly’s Monday-morning message Aug. 17, he outlined five major goals for the University this semester: leadership accountability, student success, fundraising, the Rio Rancho campus, and communication between the president and the Board of Regents. The full list has 13 goals, which the UNM Board of Regents approved at their Aug. 11 meeting. In his campus-wide e-mail, Schmidly briefly described the emphasis he would place on leadership accountability. “We must continue to develop an organizational and leadership infrastructure at UNM that creates and reinforces a culture of accountability, continuous process improvement and transparency, with measurement and results-driven performance,” Schmidly said. Faculty Senate President Doug Fields said the president and the Senate have been collaborating on a “Shared Governance Decision Matrix,” which would help to balance governance between the faculty and the administration. Fields said Schmidly’s emphasis on communication and accountability is a step in the right direction. “I think that these goals (Schmidly) has laid out represent an opportunity into a time where there is more trust between the faculty and the administration,” Fields said. In February, the UNM faculty voted no confidence in President Schmidly and two other University administrators, former Regents President Jamie Koch and Executive Vice President for Finance Administration David Harris. Schmidly’s other goals incorpo-

rate accountability and collaboration to develop student success. In the Monday-morning message, Schmidly said the University would focus on retention and graduation. “A primary focus will be to establish an integrated system of services to prepare, recruit, enroll, develop, retain and graduate both undergraduate and graduate students at the University of New Mexico, with special focus on the recruitment of high-achieving students and national merit scholars,” he said. Richard Holder, deputy provost of academic affairs, said the plan is the first step in focusing system accountability on student success. “We’re in the earlier stages of trying to implement that (system),” he said. “We certainly agree with the notion that that’s an area that needs to be worked on, and it falls on us to work on it.” Holder said the first priority is an advisement system that increases recruitment and retention numbers. “As far as a detailed list of what we plan to do, the only thing I can say for sure is that we have placed revamping our system of advising on a very high priority,” he said. “We think if we can get our advising system working as well as we can that it can really make a difference as far as retention and graduation rates.” Fields said an upcoming audit, which the faculty asked for in February, will investigate whether Schmidly’s plan is carried out. “The faculty asked for an audit and the way that audit is done — who is in charge of the audit and who has access to that information before it gets published — is going to determine whether the rust between the faculty and the president and the Board of Regents improves or declines,” Fields said. “I think that is a very, very important thing.”

Use of Second Life reaching fever pitch by Abigail Ramirez Daily Lobo

UNM is the first university to create an online, 3-D virtual training program for the H1N1 influenza virus. Adel Saad, who created the program on Second Life, an online, 3-D virtual-world Web site, said it teaches users how to organize a mass preventative clinic. Saad said the Center for Disaster Medicine financed the project with a $6,000 grant. Luke Esquibel, coordinator for the Albuquerque-UNM Medical Reserve Corps, said the training was created for his group, which assists in local response in an emergency or disaster. Because of the project, Saad was invited to present at the Aug. 13 Second Life Community Convention. Saad said coordinators of the conference were looking for anyone within Second Life who had done a project about H1N1. “They went to go look and MIT didn’t, Harvard didn’t, Stanford didn’t,” he said. “I mean, there were talks (about creating something virtually), but no one did creative training.” Saad said anyone can now walk through the 30-minute

training by going to a virtual UNM island, which has a flu clinic building with information slides. Saad and his assistant developed the training program in three weeks. “It was a big learning curve, but it’s not too hard,” he said. “Once you get the hang of it, I think any age can learn to build (the virtual island), and you have plenty of help within Second Life, and instruction to help you build whatever you want.” Esquibel said the project has seen increasing traffic since the training opened in June. “In June, we probably had about 300 people go through,” he said. “But in July we had about 1,200. ... A lot of the feedback that I’m getting is that a lot of the public likes this kind of technology because it’s reachable.” Ryan Hodnick, an MRC volunteer, said he didn’t complete the training but was impressed by the project. “It really takes online learning to the next level,” he said. “It’s very visual, very live. It’s not the boring flat screen.” Courtesy of Adel Saad Saad said several other UNM entities are interested in using Second Life in their programs.

from the web Rep. Martin Heinrich’s Saturday town hall meeting on health care brought out some debate, and Monday’s story on the event was no different. Here’s what DailyLobo.com readers had to say. Brian Fejer Posted Monday “I’m not a Democrat or a Republican; I’m Post American. Republicans seem to be suffering terribly from cognitive dissonance. “If you like socialism, you’re going to love it. A lot of people do, but you can’t fix stupid.” What about our socialist military, police, firefighters, roads, parks, schools? At least Americans once again have the right to protest instead of being shuffled into Free Speech Zones. When George W. Bush was president, the Secret Service arrested people for wearing T-shirts. Now that we have a black president, they let people bring assault rifles to his events. USA! USA! USA! USA!” Steven Aragon Posted Monday “After watching the banks, Wall Street and the auto industry get bailed out, the little guy is left asking, ‘What about me?’ Promises of free health care seem to be the answer to that question. But the reality we need to own up to is that our country is broke, and we can’t pretend to be able to afford a massive new entitlement program, no matter how much we tax ‘the rich.’ ... No matter how much you wish for it, you can’t get something for nothing. Health care costs money, whether you pay for it directly or indirectly. If your representative is sincere in getting you affordable health care, tell him to stop spending so much elsewhere.” Phillip Howell Posted Monday “...New Mexico already has two examples of failed government health care: Indian Health Services (IHS) and the VA. The erratic care, lack of services and high per-patient cost demonstrate what you, Brian, and all of us will get with socialized health care. Google Canadian Government health Web sites and look at the wait times for doctor appointments to see the future if we adopt President Obama’s non-care. The Canadian Supreme Court ordered the Health Ministry to provide cancer treatment for women with breast cancer. The court’s order was necessary because the ministry refused to provide treatment and drugs that are common and the norm in this country. Families suffered as their loved ones died. To provide the courtordered, life-saving treatment for women, the ministry cut other care because it didn’t have the money for both.”

KUNM Radio Board seeks undergraduate students Editor, I would like to invite our undergraduate student body to explore a unique opportunity for student leadership on campus and within the University community in general. KUNM (89.9 FM and kunm.org) is our community’s local public radio station and one of our community’s most valuable assets. The station provides key access to local and national news, music and entertainment. In fact, the KUNM news department has garnered several Associated Press awards and national recognition. The station also functions as a medium for local artists to produce and broadcast

Editor, I read the opinion column by Isaac Avilucea in the Aug. 17-23 Daily Lobo about Michael Vick. The main point seems to be that Vick has served his time and needs to be given a second chance. I do not refute that. However, how he is given a second chance remains to be seen. Unlike the court of law, the court of public opinion tends to be vindictive. Some celebrities and other famous people have never been forgiven by the public once they have broken the law or behaved in ways that most people feel is wrong. PETA alone is not responsible for all the sponsors that pulled back on advertising using Vick, or for corporate sponsors that still have not chosen to renew

their work. I serve as the graduate student representative on the KUNM Radio Board, an advisory group that works with the station’s management, volunteers and listeners on issues of governance, programming and community involvement. The board consists of UNM faculty, students and community members. Two seats on the 12-person board are specifically reserved for UNM undergraduate students, and both of these seats are currently empty. We are seeking undergraduate students to serve on the KUNM Radio Board. Board responsibilities primarily consist of one monthly meeting and cultivating the community’s deep-running and long-standing enthusiasm for public radio. I have been on the board for one year and have served as an important link between the graduate

student body and the radio station. KUNM offers tremendous advantages and benefits for undergraduate and graduate students, such as streaming audio and podcasting. Serving on the Radio Board will certainly add flair to any résumé, but it also offers a unique education in the operations of a radio station and provides the chance to collaborate with campus and community leaders on a variety of projects. No radio experience is necessary. Undergraduate representatives must be appointed to the Radio Board by ASUNM. If you are interested in being considered for appointment, please visit the ASUNM office in the SUB to complete an application.

age in the total number of doctors in the nation as a whole. Given that becoming a doctor is smooth sailing once admittance is obtained into a medical school, the problem can be traced back to the valve that controls how many students are admitted. Those who control this valve are doctors themselves, including the doctor who is president (and CEO) of the Association of American Medical Colleges. This is like a bunch of plumbers in a town getting to decide how many more get to work there.

Therefore, control of this valve needs to rest with the federal government, which should counter the naysayers to health care reform by pointing out that a very large number of straight-A students apply to medical school, and only a tiny fraction get admitted. Statistically, then, if the number enrolled is even doubled, how could any lowering of the quality of the graduating class be significant?

their endorsements. Avilucea’s logic seems to be that if the public does not forgive him and allow him to play football, he will have no choice but to enter criminal enterprises, because if he is denied an honest living a criminal living is his only option. This reasoning does not address how Michael Vick became engaged in criminal money-making schemes at a time when he was earning an honest living from football and corporate advertising sponsors. If the Philadelphia Eagles lose revenue at games or lose multiple corporate sponsors because of Vick, they will let him go. Since he is now a felon, I don’t believe he will choose criminal activities again. He can go into coaching, become a fitness specialist, and may or may not be able to work in sports broadcasting, and likewise he may be able to consult on movie sets involving football so that his expertise can help create realism.

He is a young man, and I believe he should be given a second chance. He has promised to do volunteer work for the Humane Society, and I believe if he follows through, much good can come from that. About 50 dogs were seized from Vick’s property, and although two were put down, the rest have been rehabilitated at Vick’s expense, and these dogs have been given a chance to be loving instead of mean, and they are all in healthy placements or homes. Vick can be instrumental in educating others about pit bulls and how the breed is not mean and should not be hated by the public. Perhaps Vick, like the pit bulls, has a reputation that needs to be repaired in the eyes of the American public, and their fates may be linked.

That’s going to be water transfers into the middle Rio Grande and working with our brackish water supplies to get them to where they’re potable. Just looking towards those things we can do 30, 40 or 50 years down the road so that somebody in those days can then sit there and say, “Well, thank goodness someone several generations ago had the foresight to plan for our water

future.” DL: What do you think the role of UNM will be in the community if you become mayor? RB: Well, this is our flagship University, and in the Legislature I spend a great deal of time advocating on behalf of UNM. I think what a mayor needs to do is extend a hand to Dr. Schmidly, extend a hand to faculty at UNM and say, “How can we work together to build our city, to give our city a brighter future, to team our resources together so we can provide opportunities to our citizens?” I look very much forward to doing that.

New attacks bring familiar suffering to Swat Valley by Elena Becatoros The Associated Press

MINGORA, Pakistan — Nearly three months after Pakistan retook the Swat Valley from the Taliban, bloodied corpses are still turning up on the streets. This time, the victims are suspected militants — and the killers are alleged to be security forces. The army and the police deny the accusations, which the leading Pakistani human rights watchdog says are credible. The killings are a sign of the troubles still facing the valley, even as U.S. officials cite the offensive — which is now winding down — as a success in Islamabad’s campaign against al-Qaida and Taliban militants threatening both Pakistan and Afghanistan. The bloodshed comes as many of the 2 million people who fled the fighting are now returning to rebuild their lives. Last week, two suicide blasts rocked the main town of Mingora in another deadly reminder of the threat the militants still pose. The corpses began appearing several weeks ago, residents say. On

Monday, 15 bodies were found in a town east of Mingora, local TV stations reported, although authorities would not confirm that. Another 18 were recovered from different parts of Swat on Aug. 15, authorities said. The killings are a grim echo of Taliban rule over the valley, when militants dumped bodies of alleged spies or government collaborators on the streets to terrify people into submission. Residents recalled public beheadings and told of decapitated bodies being left in Mingora’s main square so regularly that it earned the nickname, “Bloody Square.” “Previously we were afraid of the Taliban. Now, we’re afraid of the army,” one man said, standing at the site where the bodies of two people, 35-year-old butcher Gohar Ullah and his younger brother Zahoor, 30, were found last Friday. Like many in Mingora, he would not give his name for fear of reprisals. About seven hours after their relatives carried the brothers’ corpses away, blood was still pooled in the dusty back alley where they were slain.

Young inmate home from Guantanamo by Heidi Vogt

The Associated Press KABUL — One of the youngest people ever held at Guantanamo was welcomed home Monday by Afghanistan’s president and joyful relatives after almost seven years in prison — freed by a military judge who ruled he was coerced into confessing to wounding U.S. soldiers with a grenade. Mohammed Jawad, now about 21, flew to the Afghan capital in the afternoon and was released to family members late in the evening. Turbaned men, many who had traveled to Kabul from villages in a nearby province, greeted him with a flurry of hugs and wide smiles. Jawad was arrested in Kabul in December 2002 and accused of tossing a grenade at an unmarked vehicle in an attack that wounded two U.S. Special Forces and their interpreter. Afghan police delivered him into U.S. custody and about a month later he was sent to the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. A federal judge ordered Jawad released last month after a war crimes case against him unraveled over lack of evidence and concerns

about his age. “Today I am so happy. It is like Eid,” Jawad’s uncle Gul Nek said, referring to the biggest Muslim holiday. The nephew who was arrested as a boy came home with a long beard. Soon after his arrival, Jawad was taken to the presidential place where he met with President Hamid Karzai, according to Maj. Eric Montalvo, one of Jawad’s Pentagon-appointed defense lawyers. The Afghan attorney general, who had appealed to the United States to release Jawad, drove him to meet his relatives at a family friend’s compound in western Kabul. “I am bursting out of my clothes. I spent a long time in prison and now I am very happy to be back with my family,” Jawad told The Associated Press as he stood in a courtyard surrounded by family members. Justice Department officials have said the criminal investigation of Jawad is still open, but his transfer back to Afghanistan makes prosecution unlikely. The judge who ordered him released said the government’s case was an “outrage” and “full of holes.” The case was first complicated by doubts about Jawad’s age. Family

members say he was about 12 when he was arrested. The Pentagon said a bone scan showed he was about 17. Last October, a military judge at Guantanamo threw out Jawad’s confession. The judge found that Jawad initially denied throwing the grenade but changed his story after Afghan authorities threatened to kill him and his family. U.S. District Judge Ellen Huvelle ordered him released nine months later. Another uncle, Abdul Nek, said he still remembers the day that Jawad disappeared. Jawad and his mother — his father is dead — lived with Abdul Nek back in 2002. Jawad did odd jobs for Abdul Nek’s welldigging business. Abdul Nek said he sent Jawad to go fetch tea and he never returned. Relatives asked repeatedly in the neighborhood for news of Jawad, but no one had seen him. “I thought he had been kidnapped,” Abdul Nek said. Nine months later, the family received a letter from him through the Red Cross saying he was in Guantanamo. Abdul Nek said he is not angry about Jawad’s detention and was just happy to have him home.

The second phase of the H1N1 project, which Saad expects to complete before Thanksgiving, will add role playing with other avatars. There will be scenarios where an avatar is exhibiting H1N1 symptoms, which will help the trainees put into practice what they learned in the training. Saad said the training program comes at an appropriate time, as President Barack Obama, Mexican President Felipe Calderon and

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper vowed to fight the spread of the H1N1 swine flu cooperatively on Aug. 10. “They think the virus is going to come back 10 times stronger, and it’s their big worry,” he said. Deborah Busemeyer, communications director for the New Mexico Department of Health, said there have been 26 hospitalizations and one death because of the H1N1 virus in New Mexico.

Extended Learning program may use Second Life to teach classes. The Health Sciences Center could use the program to help patients kick bad habits or learn to modify what they do to accommodate their illnesses. The Maxwell Museum might create online virtual tours. Saad said he already uses the program to create virtual archaeological spaces that UNM is scheduled to explore.

Police say up to 10 teenagers raped the woman repeatedly and forced her and the boy to perform sex acts with each other, then doused them with chemicals to clean the crime scene in their public housing complex apartment just a few miles from downtown West Palm Beach. Authorities say fingerprints and DNA evidence found on clothing and condoms inside the apartment identified the defendants. Each faces a maximum 11 life sentences plus 50 years if convicted. Prosecutor Craig Williams described for jurors the terrifying evening of June 18. He said the suspects lured the woman, then 35, out of her house by claiming her truck had a flat tire. Three masked gunmen then accosted her and her son and forced them back into the apartment. Others soon joined in the attack. After being doused with cleaning solutions, nail polish remover and vinegar, Williams said, the victims huddled together in the bathtub naked for several hours, too scared to move. $ " $" "$ " $" ! ! # % $ !

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — A mother and her young son were hysterical, battered and bloodied at a hospital just hours after she says she was gang-raped and beaten by several masked, gun-toting teenagers, a police officer testified Monday. West Palm Beach Police Officer Dustin Moore was among the first to arrive at the hospital early on June 19, 2007. Moore testified he found the woman “in a fetal position laying on the bed ... and her son was in a fetal position laying on a chair next to her.� “They were crying hysterically, and very emotional, upset,� Moore told jurors. Tommy Lee Poindexter, 20, and Nathan Walker, 18, are being tried on 14 counts each, including sexual battery, burglary, kidnapping, grand theft and promoting sexual performance of a child. During opening statements, Poindexter’s attorney admitted her client raped the woman, and DNA

evidence will link him to that crime. However, she said, there is no evidence he participated in any of the other attacks. “You can’t allow the horrific nature of the events ... to overcome your sworn duty to determine whether Tommy Poindexter is guilty of these crimes,� public defender Carey Haughwout told jurors. Walker’s attorney, Robert Gershman, also questioned whether his client participated in all 14 alleged criminal acts. “It is not clear, it is not given, it is not just because of the horrific nature of the events that Nathan Walker is responsible,� Gershman said. “There is doubt ... No matter the emotion, no matter the facts.� A third teen is set for trial in September, while a fourth has pleaded guilty and agreed to testify against the others. They are being tried as adults even though they were all teenagers at the time. Police are still looking for other suspects who they say drifted in and out of the apartment and took part in the horrific attack.

Child laborers reap poisonous crop by Raphael Tenthani The Associated Press

BLANTYRE, Malawi — Children picking tobacco in the fields of Malawi for consumers far beyond the African country’s borders are being poisoned as they absorb up to two cigarette packs’ worth of nicotine each day, a children’s rights organization said Monday. The “extremely high levels of nicotine poisoning” produces not only nausea, headaches, dizziness, difficulty in breathing and other symptoms but also “long-lasting chang-

es in brain structure and function,” London-based Plan International said in a report. It noted that large-tobacco production has shifted from the United States to developing countries like Malawi, where “children are being exposed to exploitative and hazardous working conditions.” More than 78,000 children, some as young as 5, work on tobacco estates across the southern African country, some up to 12 hours a day for less than 1.7 cents an hour and without protective clothing, the report asserted.

The report initially said that is equivalent to 32 cigarettes but Plan International revised it to 50. “Sometimes it feels like you don’t have enough breath, you don’t have enough oxygen,” an unnamed child tobacco worker in Kasungu, in central Malawi, told Plan International’s investigators. “You reach a point where you cannot breathe because of the pain in your chest.

Men charged in fatal beating after funeral by Denise Lavoie

The Associated Press BOSTON — Nine men who had just attended a funeral and were wearing tuxedos when they beat a man to death outside a nightclub were charged Monday with assault and battery, prosecutors said. Jose Alicea was beaten Friday after an argument and died of his injuries Monday, police said. Nine of his 12 attackers were wearing black tuxedos with red vests and red ties because they had been to the funeral of a friend killed last week in a motorcycle accident, they said. The 12 men had gone to the club to celebrate their friend’s life, and Alicea was there with a small group of his friends. There was no problem inside the club, but as it was closing Alicea had a conversation with some of the men, prosecutors said. The conversation escalated into a verbal altercation, with shouting and cursing from both sides, and then turned physical, they said. Alicea, 22, was set upon by the men and was severely beaten, Assistant District Attorney Cory Flashner said during the men’s arraignment Monday in Municipal Court. Significant portions of the incident were captured on video from security cameras on nearby buildings, Flashner said.

Malawi

Alicea was found lying on a sidewalk with severe head injuries at about 2:30 a.m. Friday. The attackers were nearby in a limousine, police said. The 12 men, from the Boston suburbs, pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault and battery. The charges against them could be upgraded because of Alicea’s death, prosecutors said. One of the men charged, Michael Welch, of Lynn, was with the others but didn’t participate in the beating, defense attorney Russell Sobelman said. Welch was among 28 people who, after attending the funeral, went out in two limousines, Sobelman said. The driver of one of the limousines saw Welch standing behind him during the fight, he said. Defense attorney Mark Meehan said his clients — Justin Cooke, Jason Benaflew, Ruskyn Garcia, Johann Garcia and Ramon Berroa — are innocent and were unfortunate to be “in the wrong vehicle at the wrong time.” Meehan said some of his clients were unaware of the beating until after they were arrested and others were aware something had happened but weren’t involved. “It is unlikely that police caught all the right people, and several people who may have been involved have not been arrested,” he said.

it. At the end ... you remain with a headache.” The symptoms resemble “green tobacco sickness,” said MacDonald Mumba, a Plan International official in Malawi. The malady comes from absorbing nicotine through the skin, particularly from wet tobacco. Mumba said the children had not been subjected to medical tests for the report. Some symptoms among the child laborers may have been caused by exposure to pesticides, highlighting another hazard they face. Children interviewed for the report described sprinkling pesticide onto plants using cups and their bare hands. The world’s giant tobacco companies said they reject the use of child labor, but the reality is that Malawians are so poor that many families send their children to work in the fields. Philip Morris International, one of the largest tobacco companies in the world, said it purchases tobacco from suppliers in Malawi but does not own farms there. Anne Edwards, spokeswoman for the company, said it “strongly opposes” child labor and requires

Pakistan

tobacco suppliers to promise not to employ anyone younger than 15 or “the applicable minimum employment age or mandatory schooling age, whichever is higher.” British American Tobacco, which buys about 5 percent of Malawi’s annual tobacco crop, said it does not directly employ children and opposes child labor. However, the company said it does not supervise the farms, instead purchasing tobacco through three third-party suppliers. “We would like to talk to Plan International about their findings and will examine their report with our local suppliers,” the company said in a statement. Mumba said Plan International is not calling for a ban on children in the tobacco industry, explaining that the goal is unrealistic in a country where poverty forces children to work. But it wants employers to provide protective clothing and other gear for the children to reduce exposure to nicotine. The report also said supervisors on the tobacco farms sometimes hit and otherwise abuse the children.

“No, I don’t know about them,” said Swat District Police Officer Ghulam Farooq Qazi. “They are not in my custody.” But like the army, Qazi said he thought that the bodies turning up on the streets belonged to militants. “The militants, they did many crimes ... they are fighting each other now,” he said. “Another (reason) is, the people who are suffering because of these criminals, they are also trying to take their revenge.” Local residents found the bodies of the Ullah brothers. One man, who gave his name only as Liaqat, said he heard between four and six shots fired at around 4 a.m. Friday, but didn’t leave his home due to a nighttime curfew. Other locals gathered at the site nodded in agreement. Like many of the corpses discov-

ered on the streets, they were blindfolded with their hands tied behind their backs, said one relative. One had been shot in the head and the other just below the eye, he said. “My sons had nothing to do (with the Taliban). They had no fight, they were innocent,” said Bakht Begum, the men’s mother, as she wiped away tears. “Even my husband had no fault. They killed my husband and my two sons, and now they should release the others.” Militants began asserting their influence in Swat in 2007 — part of a wave of al-Qaida and Taliban expanding their reach from safe havens near the Afghan border. By April, they controlled much of the one-time tourist retreat, just four hours’ drive from the capital, Islamabad.

Scientist may get four years for fraud by Hyung-Jin Kim The Associated Press

SEOUL, South Korea — Prosecutors demanded a four-year prison term Monday for a South Korean scientist disgraced in a cloning scandal that shook the international scientific community and led to his trial on fraud and other charges. Hwang Woo-suk was fired from the prestigious Seoul National University after purported breakthroughs — including producing a human embryo through cloning and recovering stem cells from it — were determined to be bogus in 2005, when a key paper was found to contain fake data. Once hailed as a national hero, Hwang is accused of accepting funds under false pretenses, embezzling, and illegally buying human eggs for his research — charges that are related to the fake claims. Prosecutors sought the four-year prison term during a hearing at the Seoul Central District Court. Hwang was present in the packed courtroom, and supporters greeted his entrance with applause. “The people’s disappointment

was very serious because their expectation for his stem cell research had been high,” an unidentified prosecutor told the courtroom. He said Hwang tarnished South Korea’s image abroad and that prosecutors saw the case as a chance to “resolve chronic research fraud in the academic field.” Hwang pleaded for leniency, saying if the court forgives him he is ready to “pour the last of my passion” into research. The court will rule on his guilt or innocence and decide a sentence Oct. 19, according to the Yonhap news agency. Hwang had been the only South Korean scientist allowed to carry out research into stem cells, master cells that can grow into any bodily tissue, which scientists say could lead to revolutionary cures for hard-to-treat diseases such as Alzheimer’s. But the government stripped him of his license in 2006, citing his “ethical problems.” That case scandalized the international scientific community and caused intense soul-searching in South Korea. Hwang and his former

colleagues at Seoul National University — South Korea’s most prestigious — claimed in 2004 to have produced a human embryo through cloning and to have recovered stem cells from it. A year later, Hwang said the team created human embryonic stem cells genetically matched to specific patients — a purported breakthrough that promised a way to withstand rejection by a patient’s immune system. But a university committee later declared the 2005 paper a fraud based on faked data, and cast doubt on his 2004 findings as well. Hwang publicly apologized for faking data in the two papers but claimed he was deceived by a fellow researcher who switched his cell lines. Hwang, stripped of his right to carry out research on cloning human embryos, is now focusing on animal cloning at a local institute. Though most of his research was found to be fake, Hwang and his team of scientists successfully created the world’s first known dog clone in 2005, and that achievement was independently confirmed.

Cosmo Tapas brings the sabor to ABQ by Hunter Riley Daily Lobo

Tapas are rare in New Mexico, so if you’ve never tried them now is the perfect time to head to the newly opened Cosmo Tapas on Central Avenue. Good tapas always present a dilemma for me, because if they are good, I’ll probably want more than a tapas-sized portion, and that was exactly the case at Cosmo. The food fits right in with the atmosphere, with mood lighting and live music in the lounge every weekend. The lounge also offers comfortable seating in swanky red chairs and low black tables that face the stage area. The menus are all dressed in manila envelopes, which open to offer several different types of tapas including meat, seafood, vegetable and desserts. There are selections not only from Spain, where the tapas concept originated, there are also Asian and Mediterranean dishes. You can get anything from scallops sautéed with garlic, hot pepper flakes and sherry, to vegetarian spinach and tofu empanadas. Cosmo Tapas also has a vari-

ety of specialty drinks. I tried a virgin mint mojito that was a delicious taste bud tease. You could also try the Cosmorita, which has Sauza Tequila, citrus liqueur and lime juice. There’s also a good beer selection. From the meat tapas section of the menu, the lollipop lamb chops ($10) sounded most intriguing. I also ordered the tortilla española ($8), which is a mix of eggs, onions and potatoes with aioli sauce and the option of chorizo. The tender lamb was presented off the bone, and it came with strong but delicious olive tapenade and goat cheese topping. The tortilla española was a savory version of the ones found in Spain, and the chorizo added a nice smoked meat flavor to the dish. The desserts were so tempting that ordering only one was just not an option, so I got the Puerto Rican style flan made with cream cheese ($5) and a meringue with lúcuma mousse and berries ($5). Lúcuma is a sweet fruit from Peru that tastes like caramel, which gave the custard a pleasantly sweet, but not over-sweetened, flavor. Co-owner Guillermo Loubriel said the flan is

Rapper’s mansion is site of alleged assault by Susan Haigh

The Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. — Police say an employee of rapper 50 Cent got into a fight after a sex-related dispute at the hip-hop star’s mansion. The employee, Dwayne McKenzie, is facing assault charges. McKenzie works for the rapper’s company G-Unit and lives on the sprawling property, which used to be owned by boxer Mike Tyson. Court documents obtained by the Hartford Courant newspaper allege McKenzie requested oral sex from a woman during an Aug. 16 gathering at the 50,000-square-foot mansion in the Hartford metropolitan area suburb Farmington. A friend of the woman took offense, and a fight ensued, police said. Police Lt. William M. Tyler said 50 Cent wasn’t at the home, which has 19 bedrooms and 37 bathrooms and boasts a gym, billiards rooms, rac-

quetball courts and a disco with stripper poles. When the woman and her friend decided to leave the mansion, witnesses said, another woman, Michelle Krzykowski, ran after them and grabbed the friend, and McKenzie told her she was attacking the wrong person, according to a warrant for McKenzie’s arrest. Krzykowski hit the woman with a hard object, leaving a large gash in her head, police said. Witnesses told police McKenzie pinned the woman to the ground while Krzykowski hit her. McKenzie claims the accusation that he urged Krzykowski to attack the woman “is totally false,” said his lawyer, Gerald Klein, who has represented him before. “He’s not a celebrity, but he works for one,” Klein said. “So I guess he can be targeted by people looking to make hay.”

Cecilia Kido co-owns the restaurant with her husband Loubriel. They have lived in Albuquerque for about 30 years, and Kido has worked as a chef at various restaurants in the city. Kido was born in Chile, and her husband Loubriel was born in Puerto Rico. Loubriel said he was inspired by the foods of Puerto Rico, as well as the emphasis on music and socializing, when he was shaping the environment at Cosmo Tapas. Overall, the restaurant offers a good place for students to hang out and eat something light. The prices might be a little high for a student budget, but Loubriel said students who show their student ID can have a free dessert.

Reality TV star turned fugitive found dead by Jeremy Hainsworth and Rob Gillies The Associated Press

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — A reality show contestant wanted for murder in the gruesome death and mutilation of his ex-wife was found dead of an apparent suicide after hanging himself in a secluded motel, authorities said. Police responded to a call Sunday from motel staff about a dead person in Hope, east of Vancouver, and then called investigators who were part of the massive manhunt for Ryan Jenkins, said Sgt. Duncan Pound of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police border integrity unit. The motel manager who said he found Jenkins hanging from the bar of a clothing rack also said a young woman had checked him in. “He was found by a hotel employee hanging in his hotel room,� said Farrah Emami, spokeswoman for the Orange County District Attorney’s Office in California, which was contact with Canadian police. The 32-year-old real estate developer and investor was wanted in California on first-degree murder charges after the dismembered body of Jasmine Fiore was found in a trash bin in Buena Park, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles. Fiore’s teeth had been pulled out and her fingers cut off, apparently to impede her identification. Investigators used the serial numbers on her breast implants to identify her, prosecutors said. Jenkins’ body was found Sunday afternoon by a manager of The Thunderbird Motel on an isolated road on the outskirts of Hope, B.C., at the entrance to the western province’s mountainous interior. Pound said police don’t yet know how long Jenkins was at the motel before his body was discovered. Jenkins was identified through fingerprints and his family was notified before police went public with news. “Any further details will not be released at this time as this investigation remains in its infancy,� Pound said. Late Sunday, the Thunderbird was surrounded by police with a

coroner’s van, said Marc Lojeski who works at the nearby Lucky Strike Motel. Kevin Walker, who manages the Thunderbird Motel, said Jenkins arrived in a Chrysler PT Cruiser with Alberta license plates, and stayed in the car while the woman checked them in. Walker said the woman paid cash for three days, and when the couple didn’t check out, he unlocked the room and found him dead. Michelle Beck, who lives near the motel, said people who stay there are “kind of seedy — lots of drugs addicts and people down on their luck.� Hope is about 100 miles (160 kilometers) from Point Roberts, Washington state, the last place Jenkins was reported to have been seen before he crossed into Canada. “The sadness of this all is that Mr. Jenkins will not stand before an Orange County jury for his crime,� Buena Park Police Lt. Steve Holiday said at a Sunday night press conference. Holiday said his department’s investigation would continue. The British Columbia Coroner’s Service is investigating Jenkins’ death and police are trying to determine how he got to Hope. “There’s additional information we’re following up on,� he said, but would not elaborate. Jenkins disappeared last week and his boat was found Wednesday at a marina not far from the U.S.Canada border south of Vancouver. Canadian authorities launched a massive border search using helicopters, ground police and dogs. “The ring was tightening on him,� Tom Hession, chief inspector for the U.S. Marshals Service’s regional fugitive task force, said at the California news conference. “He obviously was desperate.� Jenkins and Fiore met in Las Vegas in March and they married a few weeks later. The couple separated shortly afterward, but had reportedly recently reconciled. A cell phone message left with Fiore’s mother, Lisa Lepore of Maui, Hawaii, was not immediately returned.

said. “I’m just a schmuck from Chicago who plays guitar. He took me into his house.” Soutar, a musical-instrument repairman, drove from Chicago on Friday morning to be at the closedcasket viewing at the Discovery World Museum. It was the public’s only chance to pay respects to Paul, and about 1,500 people came during the four-hour viewing, according to the museum. Paul’s closed casket was on display in a small theater in front of a row of windows overlooking Lake Michigan. His music played over loudspeakers. Paul’s son Rus and other family members were on hand. Paul was active until his final days, said his manager, Mike Braunstein of New York. “Les did not believe in retirement,” said Braunstein, whose family has managed Paul’s career since the 1930s. “You do work. You go from project to project. ... He left his mark on this planet. Most people don’t.” Most of the visitors were like Tim Glander, a music fan who never got to see Paul live. “It’s just my way of saying thank you to him,” said Glander, 59, a former school music teacher who drove an hour from Whitewater, Wis.

Friends said Fiore was a model who worked mainly in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, doing gigs such as being bodypainted at parties. She also was an aspiring actress and had a bit part in a small 2008 horror science-fiction movie, “The Abandoned,” according to the Internet Movie Database. Jenkins was recently a contestant on VH1 reality show “Megan Wants a Millionaire,” in which wealthy young men tried to win over a materialistic blonde. The network canceled the show Friday.

Paul’s New York City funeral on Wednesday, like his burial at Waukesha’s Prairie Home Cemetery following the visitation, was private. Milwaukee native Steve Miller, of the Steve Miller Band, was Paul’s godson and attended the private funeral in New York. Born Lester William Polfuss in 1915 to a German immigrant family in the Milwaukee suburb of Waukesha, Paul built his first crystal radio at age 9, about the time he first picked up a guitar. Nicknamed the “Wizard of Waukesha,” Paul built his first electric guitar prototype in 1929 and the first solid-body version 12 years later. Gibson began mass-producing a six-string electric guitar based on his design in 1952. Versions of that guitar became the standard in rock music, used by such guitar heroes as Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Keith Richards and Jimmy Page. Paul also was a master in the studio, developing technology and recording techniques that set the standard in the industry. They included using tape echo, multitrack recordings and overdubs. He was a member of both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

ter had the marriage annulled in May. However, there were no court records of an annulment in either Nevada, where the couple was married, or in Los Angeles County, where they most recently lived. The two were married in a Las Vegas casino after taping for “Megan Wants a Millionaire” finished in early March, Lepore said. Court records show the date of marriage as March 18. But in May “they had a big blowout” and fought because he was jealous of her ex-boyfriends, Lepore said.

McKenzie, 28, was blasted in the eyes with pepper spray during the fight, Klein said. He faces several charges stemming from the incident and is scheduled to appear Tuesday in Hartford Superior Court, but his lawyer is expected to ask for the case to be continued until Sept. 1. Krzykowski, of New Britain, also faces assault charges. She’s due in court Sept. 1. No published telephone number for her could be found.

50 Cent bought the mansion for $4.1 million. He said it had “a ‘Miami Vice’ feel,” and he spent $6 million on renovations and repairs. But the rapper, who’s from New York City, said he was growing tired of the two-hour commute and put the home up for sale for $18.5 million before dropping the price to $10.9 million this summer. McKenzie and Krzykowski are free on bond.

Homicide declared in Michael Jackson’s death by Justin Pritchard and Thomas Watkins The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson’s death has been ruled a homicide caused by a mix of drugs meant to treat insomnia, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press, while his personal doctor told investigators he was actually trying to wean the King of Pop off the powerful anesthetic that did him in. Forensic tests found the anesthetic propofol combined with at least two sedatives to kill Jackson, according to the official, who spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because the findings have not been publicly released. Based on those tests, the Los Angeles County Coroner has ruled the death a homicide, the official said. The coroner’s homicide ruling does not necessarily mean a crime was committed. But it makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against Dr. Conrad Murray, the Las Vegas cardiologist who was caring for the pop star when he died June 25 in a rented Los Angeles mansion. Through his lawyer, Murray has said he administered nothing that “should have” killed Jackson. Murray told investigators that Jackson stopped breathing about 10 minutes after he relented and finally gave in to his patient’s demands for propofol around 10:40 a.m., following a nightlong regimen of sedatives that did not work, according to court documents unsealed Monday. A search warrant affidavit unsealed in Houston, where Los Angeles police took materials from one of Murray’s clinics last month as part of their manslaughter investigation, includes a detailed account of what detectives say Murray told them. Manslaughter is homicide without malice or premeditation. The doctor said he’d been treat-

ing Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks with 50 milligrams of propofol every night via an intravenous drip, the affidavit said. Murray said he feared Jackson was becoming addicted to the anesthetic, which is supposed to be used only in hospitals and other advanced medical settings, so he had lowered the dose to 25 milligrams and added the sedatives lorazepam and midazolam. That combination had succeeded in helping Jackson sleep two days prior to his death. So the next day, Murray told detectives, he cut off the propofol — and Jackson fell asleep with just the two sedatives. Then around 1:30 a.m. on June 25, starting with a 10-milligram tablet of Valium, Murray said he tried a series of drugs instead of propofol to make Jackson sleep. The injections included two milligrams of lorazepam around 2 a.m., two milligrams of midazolam around 3 a.m., and repeats of each at 5 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. respectively. They didn’t work. Murray told detectives that around 10:40 a.m. he gave in to Jackson’s “repeated demands/requests” for propofol, which the singer called his “milk,” according to the affidavit. He administered 25 milligrams of the white-colored liquid — a relatively small dose — and finally, Jackson fell asleep. Murray remained with the sedated Jackson for about 10 minutes, then left for the bathroom, the affidavit said. Less than two minutes later, Murray returned — and found Jackson had stopped breathing. Cell phone records show three separate calls from Murray’s phone for between 11:18 a.m. and 12:05 p.m., the affidavit said. It’s not clear who received the calls. Murray had told authorities he was administering CPR during that time.
