Krebs regrets hiring Locksley Team sympathizes with former coach

Mike Locksley won’t be coaching the Lobos any longer, but he’s still going to get their money. Locksley will be paid the rest of his salary for this season, $200,000, and $150,000 for the next two years for a total of $500,000.

“If knew then what I know now would I have made a different decision? Yes.” ~Paul Krebs Athletics director Athletics director Paul Krebs said hiring Locksley was a mistake. “This was not successful, this did not work out,” Krebs said. “If knew then what I know now would I have made a different decision? Yes.” University President David Schmidly said that it was the right time to fire Locksley. “We work hard at UNM to integrate Athletics into the fabric of the University, and I believe the decisions made are in the best interest of the University, athletes and the football program,” Schmidly said. Locksley was fired after his team’s record reached 2-26, including Saturday’s overtime loss to Sam Houston State, for which UNM paid $300,000 to bring the Bearkats to University Stadium. Krebs said he was contacted by Locksley early Sunday morning
Dylan Smith / Daily Lobo Interim head coach George Barlow addresses the media on Monday during a press conference at University Stadium. Barlow was the defensive coordinator, but has been given the interim spot after Locksley was fired Sunday. about what decision would be made. “I got a call from coach Locksley Sunday morning asking me what I thought,” he said. Where were we and where were we heading? And at that point I told him I did not see any way it would end on a positive note for him.” Krebs suggested firing Locksley during a phone call Sunday morning with Schmidly and they both agreed it was the right decision. “President Schmidly and I talked … and I made the recommendation to him that we fire Locksley and fire him immediately, and he accepted the recommendation,” Krebs said. Krebs noted that the University was losing money from season tickets and that Locksley’s salary would not be paid off by student
fees or taxes from the state, but by money from Athletics. Between 2003-09 UNM’s average yearly revenue from ticket sales averaged $2.1 million. This year UNM expects to make around $1.3 million. Krebs said that after last season he and Locksley had a talk and they both said they expected improvement, but Krebs said he hadn’t seen any this year. “Not only were we not winning, but some of the mistakes, penalties, turnovers and intensity during the game after the first four, I frankly got to a point that there was no change and we weren’t any better,” he said.

Though former head football coach Mike Locksley might be gone, the football team is still around and shocked at his departure, players said. Junior tight end Lucas Reed said that the decision to fire Locksley wasn’t what he expected to happen after the loss to Sam Houston State last Saturday. “It’s always a surprise when something like this happens,” Reed said. “You never see it coming and we never expected it to happen, but it is a business. It’s very tough on the team, but we are just going to try and stay focused and positive.” Senior linebacker Carmen Messina said the firing came as a surprise to him as well, and that Locksley helped make him to become a better player and person. “I was definitely shocked,” he said. “He was able to take me out of my shell and has pushed me to become more of a vocal leader on the field.” Messina said that despite the team’s shock when they heard Locksley was fired, he understood why it had to happen. “Business is business, and I understand why they made the decision, but we just have to focus on what we can control, and that’s coming out here and practicing and going out on that field Saturday,” he said.

Senior kicker James Aho, who scored the final points in both of Locksley’s wins, said the two victories Locksley had in his tenure were team triumphs. He said he was just doing his part to help the team. “I wasn’t the guy that made those wins — it was the whole team that put in the effort to get me to that point,” Aho said. “It was just me who finished. I just did what I was coached to do and trained to do during my college career here.” Through the adversity, the team is using the game against NMSU this Saturday as something to focus on during this week’s practice. “We have New Mexico State, and that’s one thing we are focusing on and we need to stay focused,” Reed said. Messina said he is confident that George Barlow, former defensive coordinator and current interim head coach, will do a good job preparing the team for the rest of the season. “He knows how to push everyone to get better than we think we can be. He is one of those guys who is going to help us excel,” Messina said. Reed said that even though Monday was the first day of practice without Locksley, Barlow got everyone prepared and ready for the game on Saturday. “Barlow brings a lot of intensity and he tries to keep us focused and he does a good job at that,” Reed said. “We made a lot of progress on the field today.”

In 58 days NASA launches a new rover to Mars, and UNM professors and students have had a hand in creating and maintaining some of the instruments aboard. Among the many tools on the “Curiosity” is the brand new ChemCam instrument, developed by a joint US-French team led by Dr. Roger Wiens of the Los Alamos National Laboratory, and included UNM professors and students from the Institute of Meteoritics (IOM). ChemCam fires a laser at a rock or soil target and analyzes the refracted light to determine the rock’s chemical composition. According to the ChemCam website, the ChemCam cost around $12.5 million of NASA money to create and has taken at least 3 years to build and calibrate. Horton Newsom, UNM ChemCam senior research scientist at the IOM, said he is looking forward to working with the rover to study Martian soil, a skill aided by the rover’s size.
“Our job is to find exciting samples,” Newsom said. “The Curiosity is the size of a small car … the previous Sojourner rover that landed on Mars in 1997 can fit through the wheel of Curiosity.” He said NASA has made a number of advances since the last rover was launched, some of which IOM helped with. “Science has made leaps and bounds, and UNM has been at the forefront of the modifications made for NASA’s newest rover,” Newsom said. “The ability of these robots has increased and our ChemCam instrument can record 10-20 analyses per day, where the current rovers on Mars only collected one or two samples per week.” Penelope King, also a professor at the IOM, is a co-investigator for another instrument on Curiosity: the Alpha Proton X-ray Spectrometer. The AXPS is a device that analyzes the chemical element composition of a sample through irrigation and

Thomas Estenson, director of the Leonard M. Napolitano Anatomical Education Center, said anatomical donations are vital to the success of the medical center. “It’s critical; you can’t understand a real human body unless you’ve experienced one,” he said. “You have videos of real dissections taking place, but it’s not the same as having a real 3-D texture to explore the relationships between structures that are unique in each individual. There might be 10 or 12 variations in the way an artery runs.” Estenson said even the best books can never be as instructive as a real human body. “There is an encyclopedia in each of their bodies,” he said. “It’s an incredible opportunity, it’s a privilege, and it’s something that stays with students a long time even after they may have forgotten other things they learned in school.” UNM’s medical school currently supports 100 medical students, 17 physician’s assistants and 30 physical therapists, as well as occupational therapists and resident M.D.s, all of whom work with human bodies learning everything from anatomy to surgery techniques. Estenson said the process can sometimes be hard on the families of donors, but medical students host a memorial service each year with food, music and speakers to convey
their heartfelt thanks. “It isn’t for the donors, it’s for the families,” he said. “Sometimes they want mom back, they don’t want mom over here; they want closure. It’s a chance for the students to talk to them and say how incredible and important this experience was.” Estenson said the service has changed the minds of family members who were originally upset about a donation. Second-year medical school student Marcus Baca, who was a part of the memorial committee last year, has been on both sides of the donation process. His great grandmother donated her body to the medical school before Baca began his studies there. “She was a life-long learner, she would like to say,” he said. “It was a family tradition, her mother and father both donated their bodies to UNM, so ever since then she had it in her heart that she wanted to donate to UNM.” Baca said giving the body to the school after his great grandmother’s death was an emotional experience for the family, which was unable to perform a physical burial, and was told they would have to wait up to 18 months to receive cremated remains. “It was pretty difficult. especially at first,” he said. “They came so quickly after she died to take her away.” Baca said the memorial put the minds of many in the family at ease. He said his experience as a student has made him realize how im-
Locksley from page 1 Krebs also said that he did not expect Locksley to keep his job at the end of the season, but the change was needed. “I am not a big fan of making coaching changes during the middle of the season, but I felt it was the appropriate time,” he said. “I told coach it was only a matter of time, whether a decision was made today or in the future. I thought his tenure at the University would end at the end of the season.” Former defensive coordinator George Barlow was introduced as the interim head coach for the remaining eight games. He said that he is prepared to try to take the Lobos to some victories this season. “It’s been an interesting two days,” Barlow said. “This is a great opportunity and I am excited about it, and I am ready to hit
the ground running 100 miles an hour and see if we can win some games.” Barlow was interim head coach for a game on Oct. 24, 2009, a 34-17 loss against UNLV, when Locksley was suspended for 10 days after a physical altercation with J.B. Gerald, the former wide receivers coach. “It’s my intention to go out and win games and represent this football team, the state of New Mexico and UNM in the most positive manner that I can in the next 10 weeks and eight football games,” Barlow said. Schmidly thanked fans for their support. “I want to thank and challenge the wonderful Lobo fans … I want to thank you for your patience, and I want to challenge you to join and support us now,” he said. “We need you now more than ever.”

Thieves see UNM as CuNM by Charlie Shipley
charlieshipley84@gmail.com Copper thieves have come to UNM. According to a police report, copper lightning rods on the top level of the Yale parking structure were cut and damaged, indicating a robbery. John Schuler of UNM’s Physical Plant department estimated the cost of the damage to be between $15,000 and $20,000. “Copper thefts have been a problem citywide,� UNMPD spokesman Lt. Robert Haarhues said. “They really haven’t hit UNM until now.� Haarhues said copper has been stolen from contractors’ work areas on campus, but this is the first incident of a building being targeted
for theft. He said copper theft is a serious problem in Albuquerque. “People are going in empty houses within the city and stripping the wire from the walls,� he said. CNM student Sharee Mendez works at Party City of Albuquerque, where she said there have been two attempted copper thefts in the past two years. Mendez said she and another employee were opening the store when they heard a thud on the roof and the power went out. “They didn’t get away with the copper, but they started to strip it from the building,� Mendez said. “It knocked out the electricity.� General Manager Therese Kelley said that in the second attempt, the would-be thieves were caught after being chased by police to a nearby
Target store. Party City remained closed for the day due to the resulting power outage. “All told, after payroll, lost sales, and repairs, we lost about $7,000$10,000 that day,� she said. Lt. Harold Medina of Albuquerque Police Department’s property crimes unit told KRQE earlier this year that the price of copper and its thefts might be correlated. “During the past several months, with the increase in the price of copper we’ve steadily seen an increase in the theft of copper from various locations in the city,� he said.
including the U.S. Supreme Court had stopped his execution three times since 2007 to take a closer look at the case, but they ultimately upheld Davis’ sentence. On Wednesday night, Davis looked at MacPhail’s relatives and said, “I am innocent.� “Me and my family, people ask us, ‘Why aren’t you crying? Why aren’t you grieving?’� said Kim Davis, his younger sister. “My brother was at peace with God. He told us before, ‘Even though the state of Georgia may execute me, they will only take my physical body, never my soul.’� MacPhail, 27, was shot twice after he rushed to help a homeless man who was being beaten outside a Savannah bus station where the officer was working off-duty as a security guard. Troy Davis insisted another man shot MacPhail, though prosecutors and the officer’s family
say they have no doubt Davis was the real killer. Troy Davis’ sisters say they’re still making arrangements for his funeral. As of Friday, the state still had not released his body to the family, Kim Davis said. His relatives say they’ll make sure they have some time to mourn in private, but feel strongly that their brother’s funeral should be open to the supporters who rallied around him. “My brother’s case has brought people together from all over the world, and what a family does is stick together,� Kim Davis said. “Our family isn’t only our physical blood relatives — It expands way beyond that.� It’s not the first time the Davis family has mourned this year. Their mother, Virginia Davis, died at the family’s Savannah home in April.

Troy Davis’ sister said Friday that she’s not wasting time being angry as she presses to keep up the 20year legal fight her brother lost when he was executed. He used his final words in Georgia’s death chamber to insist he wasn’t a killer. “We’re going to keep moving forward,� Martina Correia told The Associated Press. “That’s what my brother would have wanted us to do, not be angry and wallow and those kinds of things.� The 42-year-old Davis died by injection for the 1989 slaying of offduty Savannah police officer Mark MacPhail. Davis’ claims that he was wrongfully convicted in a case of mistaken identity won him support from thousands worldwide. Courts

Letter Davis execution reminder of America’s mania for violence Editor, The execution of Troy Davis last Wednesday will haunt this nation into its distant future. It brings back to mind similar crimes this country has committed in the past, among them the murder of Sacco and Vanzetti in 1927, of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg in 1953, Shaka Sen Kofa in 2000, and Stanley Tookie Williams in 2005. The fact that this country has chosen the death penalty as a means of justice is telling. It tells us hidden and unhidden secrets about the bloodthirsty longing that drives this nation in its desperate urge to find a national identity and coin a distinct image for itself. The results are ugly: the fascist beast has flexed its muscle. Since its genocidal and racist foundation this country has suffered from a fatal inferiority complex. To cover it up, the country resorts to belligerence to prove and impose its “greatness” on the world. The myth of “American exceptionalism” serves to justify its innumerable crimes against humanity. Consequently, American culture is pathologically obsessed with war and death. It thrives on the false claims that its “just wars” generate peace and its legal lynching generates justice. Both claims amount to perpetual wars and serial killing. Outside of the narrowed American mind, it is considered common sense that capital punishment fails to function as a deterrent. Its moral flaws and systemic failures disqualify it as a legal instrument. All it can do is miscarry justice and wage revenge to satisfy a savage human instinct that belongs to the past. Once it is recognized for what it is — torture and murder — there is no defense. It must be abolished. The torture of capital punishment does not begin and end with the actual execution, regardless of how it is carried out, which in all cases — blunt, brute or sophisticated (scientifically sanitized) — is a monstrosity. Troy Davis spent half of his life of 42 years on death row. The destructive and agonizing effects on the human psyche are unimaginable by those who mindlessly cheer for the death penalty. The fact that Troy Davis was most likely an innocent man is almost beside the point, were it not for this nation, where innocent and guilty alike get sentenced and executed, and where the execution of the innocent is one of the few arguments against the death penalty acknowledged by death penalty supporters. This country’s leading executioners, former President Bush and President-Wannabe Perry, not coincidentally previous and current governors of the state of Texas, which boasts the greatest number of executions in the United States, could testify to the dire truth. They could, if they had a conscience. After Troy Davis, anyone can be executed based on false testimony, especially if one is black. The discriminatory and disproportionate application of the death penalty to minorities is a relic of a racist past. It’s as if Germany had kept some of its gas chambers to keep killing Jews. The American (in)justice system decided to accept a few false accusations over many exonerating testimonies. Judges and politicians knew what they were doing. Since they could not prove Troy’s guilt, they demanded he prove his innocence, which is impossible. No one can prove a negative. They wanted him dead rather than free — a clear case of murder.

Media silence on NY protests alarming by Carrie Cutler
Daily Lobo Columnist For more than a week a group of demonstrators has been occupying the areas around Wall Street in New York, bearing signs with slogans such as “They only call it class war when we fight back,” and “Just because you can’t see us, doesn’t mean this isn’t happening.” The second sign refers to the media silence surrounding the protests. They’re camping in the parks in the area at night. The current arrest total is generally agreed on to be around 80 people, some of whom were caught on camera being Maced, corralled and shoved to the ground by the NYPD. The city of New York revived a law, circa 1845, against wearing masks in public, and has charged numerous protestors with violating that law and with disorderly conduct. Police demand that protesters remove the tarps they’re sleeping under, and the protesters claim that the police are ‘buzzing’ the camp with their sirens at odd hours of the night, trying to intimidate them into leaving. Even in New York, the New York Times has only run a few articles about the people occupying the financial district. The majority of the information that can be found on the subject is from social media, the online Huffington Post and in non-US newspapers such as The Guardian. The same slow coverage on national networks is common of other protest events. The Wisconsin protests were in their third or fourth day when any sort of national media showed up to cover them, after the protestors, like the protestors in Egypt and Syria, resorted to outlets where they could get instant coverage: Facebook, Twitter and Reddit. Up until recently, Yahoo refused to send any emails that linked back to the protesters’ website: occupywallstreet.org Yahoo has since issued an apology. The use of social media to put pressure on larger media networks is itself a telling sign: it indicates a lack of faith and a decision to use popularity to force media outlets to recognize individuals because individuals fear being invisible to power. If recent history is to be believed, social networks will be the tools for any kind of
revolution, if interactions on them can be organized and focused. The curious silence is not characteristic of all protests; the Tea Party events of the last few years, though attendance has sharply dwindled as it did at the DC Rally this March, have received lavish coverage. Estimates vary, but the Washington Post gives the number at several hundred, 50 of which were reporters and media representatives. The protesters in NY represent themselves as being in the hundreds, or perhaps thousands. They post copious pictures on social networks, updates and manifestos. Why, in these numbers, with this kind of documentation and in one of the most affluent places in the world, is there so little media coverage?
“History demonstrates with regularity that people who feel like they have no recourse, nothing in which to have faith, tend to make their own.” I can think of several reasons. Generally speaking, there appears to be a certain national squeamishness with reporting these kinds of events on US soil. The newspaper industry and US government have a long-running, uneasy relationship. There have been times in US history where newspapers have been told not to print information for fear of disturbing the public. The death toll in Vietnam, for instance, was not reported until later in the conflict for that reason. Perhaps this is information that news corporations, like the businesses they are, have decided is irrelevant or uninteresting to the area they serve. Many of the quotes from self-identified Americans on the Guardian’s articles and on the Huffington Post’s articles blame the protestors for refusing to settle down and get real jobs, or accuse them of being just idealistic college students, wasting their parents’ tuition money and unable to
affect any real change. That last comment appears often and in many forms: the idea is that the world will not change, that the reality of inequity in wealth distribution, of continued job loss and deepening recession could not possibly be changed. The idea that finance is a juggernaut, and that one gets by the best one can, by any means one can, is a popular response to the various competing ideologies of change. The individual withdraws, because what can he or she do about it by him- or herself? The Tea Party appears to believe Obama created and continues the recession himself, and want him to resign or be forced out of office. The protesters on Wall Street, if their signs are any indication, appear to believe that deregulation and a lack of oversight is the cause. Everyone seems to agree things can’t go on, but the fight appears to be missing a popular catalyst, something to shock people out of their malaise. And what will that catalyst be? In the New York Times, one of the articles ends with the patrons in a Greek Revival building laughing at and raising drinks to the protesters, who chant back “Pay your share.” I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to compare that scene and the national mood, if ideologues on all sides are to be believed, to the metaphorical powder keg. Despite the mockery of commenters on the Huffington Post and Guardian, history demonstrates with regularity that people who feel as if they have no recourse, nothing in which to have faith, tend to make their own. The United States in particular loves the idea that might makes right, an idea that in enshrined in our history along with the primacy of property rights and the need for revolution. Several of the commenters sneered at the stupid hippies, stupid peace lovers and treehuggers, who think that their presence means anything before the might of the military, in the face of the New York City police force. They gloat that the uppity hippies are getting their comeuppance, that they’ll be taught to behave by New York’s best. They gloat that idealism will be, should be, punished. I worry for those protesters. I worry for us.

Spiritual healing via touch by Alexandra Swanberg
about the practice concludes that while Reiki use is growing in North America, there is not adequate scientific data to prove its effectiveness. This is the result of too few studies on the subject and the invariably poor quality of the studies that have been conducted, the report said.

Mandy, but Carter truly shines as the play progresses, showing her character’s maturation. Matt Heath’s direction is evenhanded and concise, but ultimately leaves something to be desired. There are no huge missteps, yet there are moments in the play as written that seem to offer more insight into Sara‘s character. These moments, which seem crucial to the story and cry out for detail, are left feeling vague and unfinished. Because we never come to understand Sara, for better or worse, the ending seems mysterious. Even as the play ends, and the questions it asks linger, you can’t help but feel that you missed something the playwright intended for you to hear.

Donald Margulies’ “Time Stands Still” depicts a wartime photojournalist’s struggle to choose the bigger, dangerous world of her subjects or the smaller, tamer one of the people closest to her. The production conveys all of the difficult questions Margulies’ play raises, but struggles to capture the complexity of ambiguous protagonist Sara, leaving the audience confused about her motives. After nearly dying in a roadside explosion, photojournalist Sara’s boyfriend, James, travels to Iraq to bring her home. Shocked and ashamed that he wasn’t there for her, James desperately tries to convince Sara not to go back when she recovers. The two fail to see eye-to-eye; Sara perceives the accident as no more than an occupational hazard. James helps Sara through her recovery, but cannot change her mind. The play asks viewers to contemplate if Sara is more responsible for the people whom her photography helps by keeping the world informed, or for her loved ones who nurse her to health even as she prepares to go back into the maelstrom. The story could easily come off as blunt or preachy. Fortunately, the plot shows no signs of a political
agenda. Rather, the playwright illustrates the conflicting responsibilities through multiple viewpoints on Sara’s accident and how those closest to her think it should shape her future. James fears for Sara’s life, as does her editor and friend, Richard. But perhaps the most interesting perspective is that of Richard’s young new girlfriend, Mandy, whom Sara first derides as “embryonic.” Mandy confronts Sara, asking her why she only takes pictures of suffering, why the most disturbing sights in the world are any more important than the most beautiful. Sara has no real answer. In fact, the play is most sharply defined by the moments when Sara says nothing in her defense. When James accuses her of being addicted to the chaos, she simply denies it. Throughout the play, Sara insists her photos make a difference and are self-justified, yet her doubts about this become increasingly clear. Taunya Crilly captures Sara’s overriding need for purpose, a need to go back to Iraq that she can’t entirely articulate but refuses to betray. Richard Boehler plays James with simplicity and truth, depicting a man caught between equally massive dreams and fears. John Wylie and Christie Carter both show excellent comic timing as the newly coupled Richard and
CONSUMER DEBT/ BANKRUPTCY WORKSHOP WEDNESDAY
This event is a little less exciting than free ice cream, but may be more important depending on how close you are to reaching maturity. The State Bar of New Mexico Center and the Bankruptcy Law Section will offer a free workshop to answer questions for people concerned about debt or possible bankruptcy. After a presentation and Q & A session the attorneys will meet with anyone who is interested in a free consultation. The workshop is from 6 to 8 p.m. at the State Bar of New Mexico Center, 5121 Masthead N.E.

Solar panels may not be free, but information about them can be. New Mexico Solar Energy Association is having their chapter meeting so people who don’t know about solar technology can ask questions to those well versed in it. The info session offers the basics on photovoltaic panels. The workshop is from 6 to 8 p.m. at Affordable Solar, 4840 Pan American Frontage Rd. N.
As usual, Craigslist brings us some golden nuggets this week, all for free. After eating all that ice cream you will probably need to burn it off. What better way to hit the gym is there than hitting your very own? In the free section of Craigslist, you can find a free exercise bike and weight bench. The downside is that the poster is listed as living in Placitas, but most people might agree that a svelte body is worth a 25-minute drive. -Hunter Riley
