Butts arrested on DWI charges in coach’s vehicle
Lobo football’s ups and downs in last 3 years
by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com A possible Lobo football recruit, Joshua Butts, was arrested Saturday on charges of aggravated DWI in a car registered to former head football coach Mike Locksley. According to the police report, the vehicle was registered to Michael and Kia Anika Locksley and had a UNM license plate.
“I didn’t know he was drinking and he did not seem drunk. He played it off really well. He seemed perfectly fine.” ~Brian Salazar eyewitness Butts was also accused of reckless driving, being a minor in possession of alcohol and driving without a license. Three other individuals, Brian Salazar, Desiree Cordova and Ashley Wellito, all under the age of 21, were reportedly intoxicated in the car. Wellito was arrested after being belligerent and hostile to officers. She threatened that she would use her father’s power to find out where the police officers lived, the report said. Cordova said Wellito is the girlfriend of current Lobo football player Meiko Locksley, Mike Lockley’s son. Salazar and Cordova cooperated with the officers and were released at the scene after being given misdemeanor citations. According to the police report, Butts was pulled over after speeding and nearly hitting a pedestrian in front of University Stadium. After being pulled over, Butts failed a field sobriety test and blew a 0.16 blood alcohol level, twice the legal limit, the report said. The vehicle, a 2002 Ford SUV, was towed from the scene. According to the police report, Butts told officers that Mike Locksley brought him in from Chicago to play for the Lobos. Butts was a teammate of Meiko Locksley while they both attended Centennial High School in Champaign, Illinois. Butts attended Joliet Junior College in Chicago last year and played in eight games as a wide receiver. He is not on the Joliet roster for this year, which makes him eligible to be recruited for the Lobos. UNM released a statement saying that Butts was Meiko Locksley’s friend and was borrowing his car. UNM said he was not a recruit and had no

Salazar, a junior at UNM, said that Butts told him in the car that he was planning on playing at UNM. “He said in the car that he was a recruit from Chicago and that he was going to be a player for UNM,” he said. “He also said that he was Locksley’s son’s best friend.” Salazar said he lived close to the stadium, and for the short time that he was in the car he did not see Butts show any signs of being intoxicated. “I live only a five-minute walk away from the stadium, but took the ride as opposed to walking,” he said. “I didn’t know he was drinking and he did not seem drunk. He played it off really well. He seemed perfectly fine.” Cordova, also a UNM student, said Butts left with Wellito from the Sun Village Apartments and then picked her and Salazar up. She said she did not notice Butts driving erratically. “I did not see him driving badly, but they pulled him over and did a Breathalyzer test and he ended up getting arrested,” she said. “Ashley wasn’t cooperative with the police and they ended up arresting her, too.”
Defensive coordinator George Barlow to coach for interim Staff Report Mike Locksley is no longer head coach of the Lobo football team. Paul Krebs announced Sunday that Locksley has been relieved of his duties and that defensive coordinator George Barlow will take over as interim coach for the rest of the year. Locksley’s Lobo career was riddled with scandals off the field, including an altercation with former assistant coach J.B. Gerald. He leaves the program with a 2-26
record, a winning percentage just above 7 percent. The writing was on the wall after the Lobos started off the season 0-4 with big losses to Arkansas and Texas Tech and an overtime loss on Saturday to Sam Houston State, a Division 1-AA team. On Saturday afternoon a possible recruit was pulled over and charged with a DWI in a car registered to Locksley. The team held a meeting Sunday afternoon, at which Locksley told the players he would no longer be their head coach.

Pedal peddlers: rental bike boom on campus by Charlie Shipley
charlieshipley84@gmail.com Several bike rental programs currently exist at UNM, and more may be on the way. UNM Recreation Services’ rental program allows students to rent bikes, U-locks and helmets for $40 per week or $10 per day. Parking and Transportation Services allows UNM departments to rent bikes for free to faculty and staff under its Lobo Bikes program. UNM bike shop coordinator Noel Ortiz said he started Recreation Service’s bike rental program two years ago to fill a need he saw in Albuquerque and on campus. “When I tried to find a local bike rental program, I couldn’t find one,” he said. “The closest
place to go if you wanted to rent a bike was Taos. The response is quite amazing, but we have to do constant promotions to make people aware there are bikes for rent.” Student Matthew Wilder, along with his business partner Richard Rivas, developed LoboBike, different than Lobo Bikes, which repairs and recycles bikes that would have been thrown away. “I want to recycle bikes,“ Wilder said. “There are a lot of bikes going through the recycling center that need homes, kind of like puppies, and I want to give them a good home. I’d rather them be recycled and ridden rather than just end up in an arroyo or landfill.” Wilder said another goal of LoboBike is to promote alternative transportation across campus. He

advertises his program to students in UNM’s sustainability studies program.
“Two years ago, when I tried to find a local bike rental program, I couldn’t find one,” ~Noel Ortiz bike shop coordinator “There’s about a dozen bikes every month that come through to give away, so I can’t advertise this too loudly to everyone,” he said. “I’m mainly targeting the sustainability studies classes right now.” Wilder said he hopes to work Culture Editor Alexandra Swanberg Assistant Culture Editor Nicole Perez Sports Editor Nathan Farmer Assistant Sports Editor Cesar Davila Copy Chief Craig Dubyk Multimedia Editor Junfu Han
with PATS to make his LoboBike program a permanent fixture on campus. He said over the last semester and a half, about 25 students have gotten a bike from the program. ASUNM president Jaymie Roybal is also trying to get a bike rental program going. She said she hopes to create a similar model to one she saw while studying in England. “We’re working with Parking and Transportation right now to see where we want these bikes, and how many of them, how much it’s going to cost, and how safe it is,” she said. “We’re still in the very early stages, but we’re working on pulling in some sponsors to help fund the initial costs of the program and figure out the recurring costs to keep it

on campus for the future.” Roybal said the idea involves bike kiosks located throughout north, central and south campus. Students would swipe their Lobo Cards or their credit cards and rent the bikes for an as-yet undetermined period of time, she said. “My hope is to charge students no more than $1 or $2,” Roybal said. “But those are all things to be determined.” Ortiz said students could benefit from a kiosk-based system, but there are factors that need to be taken into consideration. “A really conscious study has to be put in place as to what are the demographics, the availability and access to maintenance,” he said. “How are they going to budget for that?”

Communication breakdown by Luke Holmen holmen@unm.edu
Poorly designed directories and website systems combined with a lack of funding are stopping some students from reaching faculty and staff. “It’s ridiculous, I can’t get ahold of anyone,� said student Matthew Santos. “And then when you go to look someone up in the directory, they either aren’t listed under the correct number, or because you can’t exactly remember how to spell their name nothing comes up.� Santos said trying to find individual departments through the search feature is even worse. “The most hilarious thing is that if you type in Scholes Hall in the UNM website search bar, the (phone) number for the hall isn’t even on the first page, last time I checked,� he said. The directory has not been updated to reflect changes at the University, especially at the administrative level. For example, the directory still lists Wynn Goering as vice provost of Academic Affairs, but Goering said in an email that he is no longer a part of the organization. Recent budget cuts have
forced some departments, such as English and political science, to cut teachers’ office phones, making many professors available only through email. Teacher assistants for several classes in the music and biology department have no offices, no listed office hours on syllabi and the phone numbers listed for them on the directory are sometimes for a departmental office phone rather than a personal contact number. Senior University communications representative Carolyn Gonzales said faculty and staff, not IT or departments, are responsible for keeping things updated. “(It’s) a battle that we have fought for years,� she said. Gonzales said UNM used to print a paper directory and administrators would verify contact information for their departments. She said the print directory was discontinued years ago, and now individuals are responsible for their own information. “Not too helpful, is it?� she said. “No person within a department has access to or responsibility for individuals’ information on Banner, so if someone fails to keep his or her info current, it becomes useless.� Senior University communica-
tions representative Karen Wentworth said there is no standard, university-wide website design. Departments are left to construct and maintain their own sites with no consistency from site to site, making them somewhat difficult to navigate. The ASUNM website still reads “have a good summerâ€? and lists the election results from last year, but doesn’t have biographies up for any current student leaders aside from the webmaster. “No one at the University forces departments to maintain and update their websites,â€? Wentworth said. “University Communications and Marketing ‌ offers a paid service to update websites for departments who want to outsource their website work.â€? Some professors are putting students first by skipping the University’s communication system altogether. C.K. Barlow, an instructor in the music department, said she gives her personal cell phone number to students. “In the years I have been teaching, I’ve never had a student abuse it and I would like students to be able to contact me sooner rather than later if they are having a problem,â€? she said.

Border arrests continue to fall by Russell Contreras The Associated Press
The number of illegal immigrants apprehended along the MexicoNew Mexico border is expected to drop again and is following a steep decline that began five years ago, according to officials at U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The fiscal year ending Oct. 1 will see another big decrease in arrests from the prior year, and is likely a result of more border patrol agents and new technology infrastructure, said agency spokesman Doug Mosier. Mosier said the arrests are a 90 percent drop from five years ago in the El Paso sector, which covers New Mexico and two Texas counties. He said that in the early 1990s the sector was sometimes experiencing 1,000
apprehensions per day. Today, that number is around 20 to 30, he said. “We have better systems in place ‌ new agents and new technology that are helping,â€? he said. “We are trying to remain proactive.â€? Final apprehension numbers are expected to be released after the fiscal year. Last year, Randy Hill, chief of the U.S. Border Patrol’s El Paso sector, said officers apprehended 7,800 immigrants during the 2009-2010 fiscal year in New Mexico. More than 76,000 immigrants were arrested in New Mexico during the 2004-05 fiscal year. Hill said last year that officials acknowledged slightly less than three-quarters of the sector’s 268 miles of border to be “under controlâ€? by Border Patrol standards.

Annoyed, I know I am not in danger, 19% but I also don’t like being harassed. Uncomfortable, you never know what anyone, homeless or not, might be 60% capable of. Afraid, I have been harassed into giving money because of fear of physical 7% violence. Out of 101 responses
THIS WEEK’S POLL:
Head football coach Mike Locksley was relieved of his coaching duties on Sunday. How do you feel about his departure? Good, he didn’t win games and was hurting the Lobo’s reputations with his off-field actions. Indifferent, I don’t follow the football team or anyone involved with it. Bad, he isn’t to blame for the football team’s inability to win a game, and he was never given a fair chance.

In the story “19-year-old driver arrested for drunk driving in car registered to Locksley,” a possible football recruit was arrested on charges of drunk driving in a vehicle registered to former head coach Mike Locksley. Readers at DailyLobo.com responded: by ‘Loboserver’ Posted on Sunday “Can we please cut football already? It’d be a very smart move that only true visionary leaders on our campus could see. The BCS football powers are consolidating their power, and it’ll become pretty obvious to us and the rest of the marginalized programs in the country that football is never going to be a consistent stream of revenue for us. Furthermore, it’d allow us to truly show a commitment to our academic mission by diverting resources and attention towards the true purpose of the University of New Mexico.” by ‘Lobo Fan’ Posted on Sunday “What an embarrassment to our school! Enough with keeping the football coach on. It’s time to let him go. He’s embarrassed UNM enough, and the damage is already done. Fire the athletic director for hiring him and fire the football coach. You can’t help but wonder how the football team must feel having to play for this loser. It’s time to let your voices be heard and demand changes! We deserve better representation!” by ‘UNM Student ‘14’ Posted on Sunday “I agree with Lobo Fan. When I was younger and Rocky was the coach, my father and I would attend almost every game. Now that it is my 2nd year here, Locksley’s the coach, I have no hope for our team. Last year, I went to many games, only to be very disappointed. The fact that hardly any students showed up to the homecoming game, and on the same night underage students are arrested for driving the coach’s car (how did they come into possession of his car?) only increases my dislike of the Lobos. Not of the students, but of Locksley. Lastly, if his record with us is 2-22, and UNM knew we were going to lose, I think it’s about time to buy out. We need a new coach who can help the Lobos get their wins back!”
Student’s legacy inspires vaccine drive by Elaine S. Plotkin
Daily Lobo Guest Columnist
I’m sitting here at my computer in Houston, Texas and wanted to let you all know that this morning, I “Took One for Raymond” by having my annual flu shot. For those of you who may be new to the UNM campus or have no idea what I’m talking about, I’d like to explain. Raymond is my son. He was a freshman nuclear engineering major in the fall of 2009. He was from Houston and a student in the engineering living/learning community, living on campus at the Redondo Village apartments. He absolutely loved everything about being a student at UNM: eating at La Posada, taking 18 hours of classes that were very challenging and taught by enthusiastic faculty, and meeting other students from all over the state of New Mexico, the United States and the world. Like many of you, he belonged to campus organizations such as HESA, ANES and Hillel, and he attended athletic games and residence hall events. He made many new friends, with whom he shared great times. Everything was going great … until he caught the flu. That’s when life as we knew it changed forever. In the fall of 2009, there was a flu pandemic. Even if you had taken your seasonal flu shot (which Raymond had), you needed an extra immunization for protection against the H1N1 virus. That vaccine was unavailable to those who weren’t high-risk patients. Even then, one couldn’t find the vaccine until well into December 2009 and January 2010. Unfortunately, that was too late for our Raymond. Within five days of contracting the H1N1 virus (swine flu), he died at UNM Hospital on Nov. 11, 2009 despite the valiant efforts of the staff of physicians and nurses of the ECMO team in the ICU.
The H1N1 flu virus attacked Raymond’s lungs and heart, doing irreparable damage that ultimately led to his sudden death. Since that time, our family has done a number of things to forever link Raymond (and our family) with UNM, because that is what Raymond would have wanted us to do. In his memory, we began the “Take One for Raymond” initiative last year, which is now the Take One for Raymond Foundation and is in the process of becoming a non-profit organization.
“We hope that everyone on
the UNM campus will come out in large numbers to “Take One for Raymond” this flu season because Raymond is no longer able to take one himself.” Last year, the final flu clinic on the UNM campus was a “Take One for Raymond” event, and almost 600 faculty, staff and students were immunized for the flu within a fourhour period. This year, all four on-campus flu clinics will be “Take One for Raymond” events. The first one will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the SUB Atrium (shac.unm.edu/influenza.htm for more details). It is the goal of the UNM Student Health and Counseling Center, the UNM Hospital and the Plotkin family for all students, faculty and staff who are 18 years of age and older to go and receive their free flu shot for Raymond this flu season.

Our family wants to particularly reach out this year to all those students living in the residence halls, as our Raymond did. The flu is a very serious virus. Even in a non-pandemic year, one can become quite ill and miss days of school or work. It is also contagious. College students are not invincible and do get sick. If you have had flu shots in the past or have been advised by your families and hometown physicians to get one this year, please listen and do so. You will not only help protect yourself, but you will be protecting those around you as well. All we ask is that everyone considers taking a flu shot, and if you’re on the fence about it, please think about it again. No family wants to hear that a loved one is sick in bed with the flu. It is our intent to educate and inform everyone about the importance of flu immunization. We do this because we wouldn’t want any other family to have to go through what our family has these past (almost) two years now without our son. That is why we will do everything we can do to ask each of you to take the flu shot, if you are able to do so. If you aren’t sure or have questions about whether you can take a flu shot, don’t hesitate to ask your family physician, health provider, student health clinic or just come by and ask at the flu clinic. The flu shot this year does have protection against several flu strains, including H1N1. We hope that everyone on the UNM campus will come out in large numbers to “Take One for Raymond” this flu season because Raymond is no longer able to take one himself. When you see the “Take One for Raymond” logo, please know that it was specially designed with UNM in mind (note the colors), the way that Raymond would have wanted, forever to be associated with the University of New Mexico. Here’s hoping that UNM students, faculty and staff will “Take One for Raymond” this flu season. Elaine S.

Obama heads west to start off 2012 campaign by Erica Werner
The Associated Press WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama is testing out his newly combative message on the liberal West Coast, aiming to re-energize faithful Democratic voters who have grown disenchanted with him. The trip, which begins Sunday and includes fundraisers from Seattle to Hollywood and San Diego, comes as Obama has shifted from seeking compromise with Republicans on Capitol Hill to calling out House Speaker John Boehner and others by name. The president has criticized them as obstructionists and demanded their help in passing his $447 billion jobs bill. This approach is a relief to Democratic activists fed up by what they viewed as the president’s ceding ground to the GOP on tax cuts and other issues when the economy has stalled and unemployment is stuck above 9 percent. Obama’s three-day trip offers him the chance to try to reassure some of his most liberal and deep-pocketed
supporters with his aggressive new message as the 2012 campaign revs up. He can probably look forward to a friendly welcome from invited fundraiser guests, including those at private events with ticket prices as high as $35,800. But liberal activists are making plans to greet Obama along the way with demonstrations criticizing his policies or reminding him they want him to do more. “We want to see Obama stand up as strongly as he can to fight for the people of this country who are working out there to make ends meet,� said Kathy Cummings, communications director for the Washington State Labor Council. The council was helping organize a demonstration outside Seattle’s Paramount Theater, the site of an Obama fundraiser Sunday. Obama and the Republican presidential candidates are working overtime to raise campaign cash ahead of an important Sept. 30 reporting deadline that will give a snapshot of their financial strength. Obama’s West Coast visit is heavy
on fundraisers: two each in Seattle and the San Francisco area Sunday, followed by one in San Diego on Monday and two in Los Angeles.
“We want to see Obama stand up as strongly as he can to fight for the people of this country who are working out there to make ends meet,� ~Kathy Cummings Wash. labor council communitcation director The expected haul: $4 million or more. He scheduled a town hall-style event for Monday in the Silicon Valley hosted by social networking company
LinkedIn. The trip ends Tuesday with a speech to supporters in Denver, where he accepted the Democratic nomination three years ago. Obama will work to sell the job proposal, which combines tax cuts, unemployment benefits and public works spending. The bill faces a hostile reception on Capitol Hill, particularly because Obama wants to pay for it with tax increases opposed by Republicans. If he can’t persuade Congress to pass the bill, Obama has said he wants to make sure the public knows who’s standing in the way. Jobs are a major concern in California, where unemployment stands at 12.1 percent, the highest of any state except Nevada. Mark DiCamillo, director of California’s Field Poll, said that has contributed to a softening of support for Obama among Democratic and independent voters. Obama’s job approval rating dropped to 46 percent among Californians in a Field Poll this month. Among Democrats it is 69 percent, but that is down 10 percentage points from June.
“Californians voted for him by 24 points in 2008, and the Democrats and nonpartisans were the backbone of his support and he’s losing some of that now,â€? DiCamillo said. “I think there’s a lot of frustration in California about Washington. ‌ They’re looking for Obama to do something.â€? The summer’s nasty debate over raising the government’s borrowing limit turned off voters. Many liberals bemoaned the deal that cleared the way for a higher debt ceiling, with Obama agreeing to Republican demands for steep budget cuts without new taxes. But Democratic supporters are heartened by the jobs plan and Obama’s insistence that Congress must raise taxes to pay for it. They’re hoping that the confrontational Obama they’re seeing now is the same one they’ll see through the 2012 campaign. “We wish that his fighting spirit had been there a few months ago, but it’s here now,â€? said Rick Jacobs, head of the Courage Campaign, a progressive online organizing network in California.
Saudi women to vote in 2015 by Abdullah Al-Shihri and Maamoun Youssef The Associated Press
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Saudi King Abdullah announced Sunday that the nation’s women will gain the right to vote and run as candidates in local elections beginning in 2015 in a major advancement for the rights of women in the deeply conservative Muslim kingdom. In his annual speech before his advisory assembly, or Shura Council, the Saudi monarch said he ordered the step after consulting with the nation’s top religious clerics, whose advice carries great weight in the kingdom. “We refuse to marginalize the role of women in Saudi society and
in every aspect, within the rules of Sharia,� Abdullah said, referring to the Islamic law that governs many aspects of life in the kingdom. The right to vote is by far the biggest change introduced by Abdullah, considered a reformer since he became the country’s de facto ruler in 1995 during the illness of King Fahd. Abdullah formally ascended to the throne upon Fahd’s death in August 2005. The kingdom’s great oil wealth and generous handouts to citizens have largely insulated it from the unrest sweeping the Arab world. But the king has taken steps to quiet rumblings of discontent that largely centered on the eastern oilproducing region populated by the country’s Shiite Muslim minority. Mindful of the unrest, which
reached Saudi Arabia’s doorstep with street protests and a deadly crackdown in neighboring Bahrain, King Abdullah pledged roughly $93 billion in financial support to boost jobs and services for Saudis in March. Seizing on the season of protest in the Arab world, Saudi women’s groups have also staged public defiance of the kingdom’s ban on female driving. Saudi authorities went relatively easy on the women, who took to the roads earlier this year and gained worldwide attention through social media. Abdullah said the changes announced Sunday would also allow women to be appointed to the Shura Council, the advisory body selected by the king that is currently all male.T:10 in

Loss a matter of lost focus by Cesar Davila
hendrix@unm.edu The UNM Volleyball team won game one, and then it was done. The Lobos (7-4) fell to Texas Christian University (14-1) in three of four games: 25-18, 1625, 21-25, 19-25, in front of 2,272 fans on ‘Jam Johnson’ and ‘Love Red, Live Green’ night Friday at Johnson Center.

Former UNM head football coach Mike Locksley was very emotional after what would be his last game with the Lobos. “It was unacceptable to lose that game,” Locksley said. “Right now we’re not a really good team. We’re not doing what it takes to win football games.” The team lost in overtime 48-45 to the Sam Houston State University Bearkats. UNM sent the game into overtime with a 20-yard touchdown pass with only 27 seconds remaining but could only score a field goal in overtime. SHSU scored a touchdown on its first possession to win the game. The Lobos weren’t supposed to lose to SHSU, an FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) school, formerly Division II. SHSU was put on the schedule and paid to travel to UNM as an easy win for the Lobos.

It looked good for the Lobos in the beginning of the game, when wide receiver Deon Long returned the opening kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown. After that, the Bearkats scored two unanswered touchdowns. With 6:35 left in the first quarter, SHSU running back Tim Flanders scored on a 61-yard rush, the longest play from scrimmage that the Lobos have given up all season. Despite the Lobos being outworked on offense, they didn’t let the Bearkats get too far ahead. The teams scored touchdowns one right after the other. At halftime, the score was tied at 21. The second half of the game was more of the same story, with SHSU running the ball and UNM having trouble on offense. Quarterback Tarean Austin was benched in the third quarter for B.R. Holbrook. With 7:33 left in the game, SHSU’s Flanders scored another touchdown on a 53-yard run, mak-
ing the score 42-28 in their favor. UNM running back Crusoe Gongbay scored a touchdown on a 1-yard rush, making the score 42-35, with 5:56 left in the game. On the final drive of the game, Holbrook drove the team 80 yards down the field and capped it off with a 20-yard touchdown pass to Deon Long with 27 seconds left, to tie the game at 42. After being unable to get into the end zone, the Lobos settled for a field goal from James Aho, giving them a three-point lead. The Bearkats then scored a touchdown on their first possession, immediately giving them the win. Freshman Deon Long had the best game of his young career. He had 378 all-purpose yards, which is a new Mountain West Conference record. Despite being in the game for hardly more than a quarter, Holbrook threw for 289 yards and had two touchdowns.

“Not periscopes for wolves” Capricorn—This week should prove to be a tamer version of the week to follow when the Sun moves into Libra. Right now, you are reaping all the benefits of last week’s hard work, and the celebration is only going to escalate. You may feel as if you’re beginning to spiral out of control and groping for firm ground will be especially difficult. Your best bet is to lie low and focus on constructive activities like physical labor when the fervor overwhelms you. Aquarius—I encourage you to pamper yourself this week. You’ve established a strong hold on your circumstances, but the even keel you’re enjoying is only transitory. Expect the unexpected, but don’t let caution ripen into fear. Finding pleasure and relaxation is not off the menu, but considering the unsteady planetary influences, you are best sleeping with one eye open. Pisces—While you’ve raised your threshold for madness considerably in the past month, the difficulty of looking past all the ridiculousness of society may be more than you can handle this week. The problem is that you recognize some of this in yourself. Rather than criticizing what you see and becoming more resentful, view the world as a stage for these actors to flaunt their best and worst aspects. It’s healthier to release the inner monster than let it stew in your innards. Aries—You have come to a stopping point it seems. Mercury and Mars in nervous-prone, critical signs have rendered you introspective, digging and picking apart at yourself. Now, you look around at your findings, but your vision is too narrow to get a complete idea of what it all means. Look for reflections of these characteristics in others and find how they can build or destroy a person. Try on minds
until you find one that fits. Taurus—“The world does not stop and start and start at your convenience.” Remember this when you’re struggling to make the right decision. You’ve been operating under the false understanding that there will be time to fulfill obligations and take care of business. This week, you will need to take the universe up on opportunities the minute they are apparent. If you don’t feel ready, you will be as soon as your momentum builds to meet that of the universe. Gemini—Reflect on the person or issue in your life that has played the part of the incessant fly. My feeling is that rather than leaping for the fly swatter, you’ve resigned yourself to dividing your energy between work and becoming annoyed. While this sounds ridiculous, people do it all the time thinking some problems will resolve themselves. If you’re having trouble breaking away from this notion, think about what you could be spending that energy on, and motivate yourself to become proactive. Cancer— Your nervous energy is likely to manifest itself physically this week, making it almost impossible to be still. Because you’ve just wrapped up the latest project or issue, you see nothing on your plate and panic. Rather than scrambling to fill what you perceive to be a void, the more worthy challenge to take up is in centering this energy. Sit, breath, and pay close attention to your every action. Treat your body as a tool that needs to be shaped to better facilitate your daily life. Leo—Venus’ transition into Libra last week probably sparked up some flames in your love life. The prospect of diving into a whirlwind romance is compelling, but I would encourage you to detach and survey
all the possibilities, present and future. Choose a worthy lover and take time building this flame into a raging fire. Mars in Leo shrouds you in excessive charm and physical appeal, so you will want to be careful how present yourself to everyone. Virgo—Your tried-and-true ways avenues of playtime seem to be failing you. It will be an exercise in futility to search for satisfaction in the material world or by falling into old, comfortable patterns. The realm of possibility looms untapped, likely because it is unknown to you. Create your own possibilities, and indulge in sessions of fantasy and absentmindedness. As your spirit skates across a frozen sea of thought, look down and tap into your favorites. Manifest the possibilities of your choosing. Libra—You feel effortlessly at ease and balanced this week, the result of hard labor and tedious analysis the past month. With Leo and Libra influences replacing earthier, detail-oriented ones, it will be easy to talk yourself into breaking away from reality. This is not a bad route to follow, but if you feel snared by obligations and pending tasks it would be extremely unwise to ignore these factors. In the larger scheme, there is no pleasure in returning to Earth to find your life a mess. Scorpio—You will be grappling with a tension between your imagined life and the reality of your circumstances. It would be impulsive to let yourself scatter energies to keep both alive. However, you are not doing either justice this way. Shake the dusty complacency and weed out the non-essential silliness in your life, replacing it with your favorite fantasies. Find a way to bridge the gap. Sagittarius—When the loose ends are all tied up, it’s hard to believe you’re actually finished dealing with the mess. This is your current position, though it is fairly certain that you can breathe that sigh of relief now. You don’t want to completely abandon care while you celebrate, or you risk undoing all your hard work. Party with a comingling of your most responsible and most foolhardy friends and you’ll absorb a conglomeration of energies that will serve you best throughout this week.

Fishbein: we got a win when we were not playing our best by Nathan Farmer
sports@dailylobo.com The UNM men’s soccer team has finished its non-conference schedule undefeated. The Lobos, ranked No.11 in the nation, beat Loyola Marymount 2-0 on Friday night to take UNM to 6-0-2 for the season. Forward Devon Sandoval took over the game in the second half, providing the assist for midfielder Giovanni Rollie’s goal before scoring one of his own with a volley. “It was good to get the win, and the real positive was we got a win when we were not playing our best,” head coach Jeremy Fishbein said. “The first half, we were real tense, and the second half was a lot better, and we scored some nice goals.” The L o b o s ke p t p o ss e ssi o n from the start in front of more than 2,600 fans, but failed to find a breakthrough when they got to the attacking third of the field. Sixteen minutes in, UNM junior Blake Smith dribbled through five defenders but shot right at Lion goalkeeper Jack McCormack. As the half wound down, Loyola found itself on a three-onone counter attack, but failed to get a shot on goal. Fishbein said his team didn’t play as well as it could have in the first half. “We were a little slow in connecting passes, the first touch was off a bit,” he said. The second half began with a flurry of chances for both teams as the Lions’ Phil Da Silva and David Ponce almost scored while McCormack saved a shot from Sandoval.
Friday
In the 63rd minute, Sandoval dribbled down the left wing and his pass found Rollie at the top of the six-yard box for an easy tap in to give the Lobos the lead. With 15 minutes left, Sandoval doubled the Lobos’ lead when he got the ball 25 yards from goal and fired a volley past the diving McCormack into the far corner. The goal was Sandoval’s third in the last two games, and Rollie said that Sandoval’s goal-scoring form of late has really helped the team. “He is on fire,” Rollie said. “He means a lot to the offense, and he has been a big part of this team through preseason and through t h i s e nt i re n o n-conference s ea s o n .” The Lobos could have scored more goals as the game wound down. Senior Lance Rozeboom had two easy chances to score, and Smith missed a wide-open goal as well. Fishbein said that when the games get more difficult, his team will put away those easy chances. “I think it’s a different mindset,” he said. “We are not happy with it, but they are quality players, and I feel when it comes to crunch time we are going to take our chances.” The Lobos out-shot the Lions 19-13 and forced McCormack into seven saves, while UNM keeper Victor Rodriguez had six. “We had two great goals and we pushed forward for a third and a fourth,” Fishbein said. “It’s a situation the guys are going to have to adjust to. They played a very good team, but if we play to our ability we are going to be successful.”

Belated goal ends fight for win by Nathan Farmer

The UNM women’s soccer team scored late, but still beat the Sooners on Friday. The game looked to be headed to overtime after Oklahoma’s Dria Hampton tied the game with 10 minutes left, but Lobo forward Jennifer Williams scored her second goal of the game with five minutes remaining to beat the Sooners 2-1. “We fought the whole entire game,” Williams said. “We knew we weren’t going to walk away with a tie or a loss. We knew we were going to win.” Just 12 minutes into the game, the Lobos had the lead after Williams got the ball from Natalie Jenks, beat a defender and finished past the goalie. The Lobos had chances to add to their lead during the first half, but could not find a way to score. Head coach Kit Vela said it was hard to see her team not up by
more goals, but she said she was happy with the result. “We had some opportunities in the first half where we could have easily been up two or three but we weren’t,” she said. “It was a little frustrating, but
“We fought the whole entire game. We knew we were going to win.” ~Jennifer Williams forward we found a way to come back.” The Lobos came out and dominated the second half, outshooting the Sooners 8-2, and forced Oklahoma’s Kelsey Devonshire into three saves, while Lobo goalie Kelli Cornell wasn’t tested. Against the run
of play, Hampton picked up the ball at the top of the box and let out a tame shot with 10 minutes left. It looked to be an easy save for Cornell, but the ball deflected off of a Lobo defender and landed in the back of the net to tie the game at one. The Lobos immediately pushed forward for the win, and got it with five minutes left. Sophomore Brooke Ellison played a ball over the top to Williams, who calmly finished past the onrushing Sooners’ goalie. “When she (Ellison) played that ball through, it was the perfect ball,” Williams said. “The keeper came out a little bit early and it was easy to put away.” Williams said Oklahoma was a tough team, but that the challenge will help the team when conference play begins this weekend. “They were a very physical team,” Williams said. “Once you touched the ball they were right on you. Actually, it’s going to help us for conference

The Lobos beat Oklahoma 2-1 thanks to a late goal from Williams. because you know the pressure is a little different in conference, and we need to play quick.” The Lobos have gone to overtime four times this season but have a 0-2-2 record in those games. Vela said she was happy that her
team scored in regulation to save them from playing another overtime game. “It’s nice to save your legs when you don’t have to play overtime,” she said. “It’s just good to score that second goal, in overtime or in regulation.” The win takes the Lobos to 5-4-2 for the season, while Oklahoma fell to 4-5.
