Former soldier speaks out against Israeli army by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo

Vanessa Sanchez / Daily Lobo Ph.D. student Mel Strong examines some of his water vapor measuring instruments in Northrop Hall on Monday. Strong is researching the origin of monsoon moisture in the Southwest and created his own instruments for the experiment.

Student develops advanced research methods to study N.M. rain patterns by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo

Ph.D. student Mel Strong is doing research so unique that he had to make his own instruments and build his own plane to complete it. New Mexico is known for its unpredictable weather patterns, and Strong has made it his mission to analyze the air during monsoon season to discover what causes them. “The question is, ‘When we have cloudy days, rainy days, where does that moisture come from?’” he said. “That’s what I’m trying to answer.” Strong took a glass-blowing class to learn how to make his own instruments. He also built a makeshift plane to collect air samples as high as 10,000 feet in the air. Professor Dave Gutzler, one of Strong’s advisers, said this work will advance weather-related research. “It is a huge leap forward scientifically,” Gutzler said. “He has established some new standards for documenting the seasonal cycles of isotopic water vapor in this part of the world — how to gather it, how to measure it, how to analyze it and how to use it in conjunction with dynamical computer models.” Strong said everyday climatic processes offer a lot of research opportunities. “A lot of people assume we already know everything about the weather and how it works, but there is a lot we don’t understand,” he said. Strong said that the day-to-day research can be tedious, but the gratification of discovering a pattern makes it all worth it. “All this work comes down to one graph,” he said. “You finally get that done, and you can actually say, ‘Oh, I know what’s going on here,’ and you can make an interpretation.” Strong said he credits his success to his overactive imagination. “When I’m trying to sleep or concentrate on

A former Israeli Defense Forces soldier spoke out against the Israeli government’s policies at a lecture in the SUB on Tuesday. Micah Kurz, who grew up in Jerusalem, served in the Israeli army from 2001 to 2004. All Israeli citizens are required to join the country’s defense forces when they turn 18, he said. Kurz said his organization, Breaking the Silence, was founded to let people know what Israeli soldiers experience on a day-to-day basis. “We watched ourselves and our buddies kind of lose a few screws,” he said. “At some point you just get either extremely bored, or you actually learn that you can do whatever you want.” Mae Eye, vice president of the UNM Israel Alliance, said the IDF does what’s necessary to secure peace in Israel. “I told (Kurz) that I’m sorry he presented only one side,” she said. “The other side is the Israeli side, in view of history, in view of what the Hamas Charter says, which is to kill Israel, wipe it off the map.” Guida Leicester of the Coalition for Peace and Justice in the Middle East, who helped to bring Kurz to UNM, said the Israel Alliance portrays

something important I’m just thinking all kinds of crazy thoughts,” he said. “So eventually all those crazy thoughts just get accumulated somewhere and I get enough crazy thoughts that every once in a while I actually get one that is usable.” Strong’s “usable thoughts” have translated into helpful inventions for the scientific community, Gutzler said. “Mel has a data set that is absolutely unique,” he said. “No one else in the world has the sort of data that he has

Hamas as more violent than it really is. “They have said, ‘We don’t want to push Israel into the sea’” she said. “Both sides have a right to live and exist together peacefully.” Leicester said it’s important to hear the story of Israeli soldiers because their stories are central to the region’s problems. “For me, the Israel-Palestine conflict is at the core, the root of the problems in the Middle East,” she said. Kurz said people living in Jerusalem have no idea what happens in the Palestinian occupied territories that are only a few miles away from where they live. “We wanted people to know what’s going on 40 minutes away, and what it means to them that they’re sending 18-year-olds into this situation regularly.” Kurz said the psychological effects of being placed in a position of power over people are detrimental to the young people who work as soldiers for the Israeli army. He said that the soldiers are required to watch checkpoints and decide which Palestinians can go through. “That’s a whole lot of power to be able to control hundreds of people

If UNM undergraduates plan to attend graduate school, they should start planning as early as freshman year, said Jenna Crabb, UNM’s director of Career Services. Representatives from 86 graduate and professional institutions will be at the Graduate and Professional School Fair in the SUB today to help students research potential schools, Crabb said. “You want to look at faculty-tostaff ratio, locations and research opportunities available for your particular field,” she said. “Knowing the industry that you are going to want to work in is going to be really important in figuring out what master’s degree fits your industry, your major and your career goals.” Cassandra Costley, Career Services event coordinator, said interested students will have an impressive array of schools to choose from at the fair. “Students need to shop around for the school that they want,” she said. “We have students that have a quality educational background, so that’s what we are providing, an opportunity to look at all these schools and have them audition for (the students).” Sophomore Crystal Foley said she is considering graduate schools and will attend the fair.

Graduate and Professional School Fair Today 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. SUB Ballrooms “It’s something good to look into if you are not sure about it,” she said. “It’s a good place to get information.” Cindy Garcia, admissions coordinator for UNM’s School of Medicine, said the fair isn’t necessarily geared toward upperclassmen, and in fact it’s better for younger students to attend. “We like to get to freshman so they can start working on their goals… and get a good start,” she said. “When they come into the application process their senior year, they are going to have the strongest application possible, because they were prepared since the beginning.” Crabb said students should learn about graduate schools as soon as possible so they can choose the right place when the time comes. “You want to make your master’s degree fit you, not you fit your master’s degree,” she said. Senior Daniel Fellar said the fair could help students apply to graduate schools, as well. “It’s good to find out more information as to what is involved in the application process,” he said. “The fair would definitely be a good place to get useful additional information.”

Should head football coach Mike Locksley be punished for the altercation with assistant coach J.B. Gerald?

Daily Lobo asks you: “I think what he got right now is pretty fair. I mean, there is a lot of pressure on him, you know. I mean, everyone is pressuring him to do well, so I think the pressure just kind of got to him. I think for right now what he got is right.”

Tsunami kills over 100 in American Samoa by Seth Borenstein The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Because of a lethal combination of geology and geography, the people of American Samoa didn’t stand much of a chance. Almost every condition that triggers bad tsunamis was in place this time, generating waves that raced toward the island territory at speeds approaching 530 mph, as fast as a 747 jumbo jet. And there was almost nothing to slow the water down. It all started with a type of earth-

quake that tends to generate strong tsunamis because of the angle at which the ground breaks. Also, the quake was extremely powerful, with a magnitude of 8.0. It struck just below the ocean floor, which means very little lost energy. And it happened in deep water, which means bigger waves. The deeper water also meant the tsunami sped along the ocean faster. American Samoa happened to be close to the epicenter, about 125 miles, and at just the right

that go through the streets every day,” he said. Kurz said he also belongs to Grassroots Jerusalem, an organization creating an online database of the needs of Palestinians in East Jerusalem. Eye said that by helping grassroots organizations in Palestine, the groups are helping Hamas fight the state of Israel. “Hamas and the Palestinians are the same,” she said. “That’s the same thing. They’re together.” Israel Alliance Treasurer Lynn Provencio said if the organizations remain apolitical, they are not working against the state of Israel. But she doesn’t believe that all the grassroots organizations Kurz works with are independent of Hamas. “I think when it’s strictly a humanitarian issue like that, I see no problem with it,” she said. “The organizations that he works with, a lot of them, they do get into politics.” Kurz said the conflict between the IDF and Hamas is irrelevant to the work of the grassroots groups helping civilians on both sides. He said that Palestinian neighborhoods in and around Jerusalem are regularly subject to curfews from the Israeli government, and sometimes suffer from water restrictions as well. “Villages have the water turned off for 40 days at a time,” he said. “I tell my buddies, ‘40 days without water,’ and people don’t believe me. But

believe me.” Kurz said Grassroots Jerusalem is also working to connect the organizations trying to fulfill the needs of Palestinians in the area. “Five years down the line, I’d like to have an accessible map online, where I can log into any community in Jerusalem and find out what their most urgent needs may be — and a way to find out who’s already active in that

neighborhood, what are the organizations, what are they doing,” he said. Kurz said Grassroots Jerusalem is looking for students to help build their online directory of grassroots groups. Students can get in contact with the group through their Web site, GrassrootsJerusalem.com. “If anyone would like to come and work with us, we’re very happy to help them find their niche,” Kurz said.

Anyone would be better than Locksley, and less expensive Editor, I confess that I do not understand football. Not only am I unable to grasp the nuances of how the game is played, but I also fail to understand its importance to an institution of higher learning. I do understand the importance of the game to those who play it on behalf of UNM. To them it is not merely recreation, but a lifestyle, a subculture and a means of tremendous opportunity for education on and off the field. I have no issue with and, indeed, great respect for those who play and coach. As for those who pay exorbitant sums year after year to coaches and staff for middling and poor results, I offer the following: I would like to submit my name for consideration for the head football coach position for the 2010 season. True, I don’t have any experience coaching and am ignorant of the game, but I guarantee that I can deliver at least a 0-4 record by this time next year. I won’t know how to direct my staff and coaches for optimal recruiting and performance, but I will know how to treat them with dignity and respect. I haven’t hit anyone since 1989. Just in case you’re on the fence about this, let me say that I offer my woefully inadequate skills for the price of my tuition and monthly rent, about $14,000 a year. I don’t know exactly how much money this will save the University, but I would guess that the entire team could be given full academic scholarships. With more savings to the school, more scholarship opportunities to be had, and a record that can’t be any worse than it is now, isn’t it time to put a bozo like me in charge? Colin Cunningham UNM student

Enforce smoke-free policy or get rid of it altogether Editor, I am a non-smoker who grew up in a household with a smoker, so I can understand wanting a smoke-free campus. But if UNM is going to make the “smoke-free campus” work, there needs to be a set policy in place for when smokers break the rules. Why have a “smoke-free policy” if you can’t even reprimand people for not following its guidelines? If UNM wants a truly compliant campus, maybe they need to spend some money. The administration should hire more traffic, bicycle and foot patrol cops, and those expensive ATVs should be used to patrol the campus for smokers. Otherwise, the University needs to get rid of a policy they can’t make people adhere to. Becca Granato UNM student

LETTERS Tax is a small price to pay for good roads and bus service Editor, I am writing to encourage everyone in Albuquerque to vote for the extension of the Transportation Infrastructure Gross Receipts Tax on Oct. 6. This tax has been in place for 10 years now and has paid for our roads, our buses and our pedestrian and bicycle system. It has provided a crucial piece of funding for our infrastructure system, and to lose it now would be a terrible thing.

Locksley’s behavior creates hostile work environment Editor, Athletics Director Paul Krebs is following the human resources “standards” for progressive discipline against coach Locksley with a verbal and written reprimand. However, just as the coaches are hired using a different standard, they are disciplined differently. Any regular staff member who hit another would have been, at the very least, put on administrative leave without pay or fired

Here’s what to expect should the tax fail: Cracks and potholes in our streets will take much longer to repair. New expansions of our road system won’t happen for a long time. Desperately needed new bike trails won’t be built. Bus services will be cut — service hours will be reduced and routes will be eliminated altogether. Across the country, mass transit systems facing budget cuts have been forced to raise fares, and the same could happen here. Albuquerque is still a growing city and we need these improvements, which

benefit everyone in this city (unless you stay at home all day) more than ever. And for those who remember the streetcar fiasco of 2006, the language of the bill specifically bans the funds from being used on a rail system, unless the people approve doing so later on. So if you drive, bike, walk, or take the bus within city limits, you have every reason to vote for this tax. A quarter of a cent — that’s $0.0025 — for every dollar spent is a small price to pay for a healthy transportation system.

immediately. “Locks” has shown he has no regard for the rules we all must follow and Krebs is going along with it. There is a pattern developing here: verbal abuse against staff, whereby someone was forced to retire and then filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission suit and is now being retaliated against by “Locks” through his counter suit. Now there is physical abuse against staff, albeit another coach. This is an escalation of abuse. This pattern creates a hostile working environment for everyone in Athletics: staff, coaches and especially the students, who look to the coach as a role model, as a good example. I see no role model or good example here.

You want to keep good staff and recruit students with talent. You’re not going to have either, not as long as coach Locksley is still at UNM. However, UNM can’t afford to buy out his contract, not while still paying Rocky Long. But UNM can afford to pay for the logo at the Rail Runner stop to bring fans to see the Lobos play football or basketball. Bad behavior is a deterrent, not an inducement to bring people to the stadium. This is a failure to everyone who works at UNM and those who study here.

angle, with almost no shallow water to slow the speeding waves down. Put that all together and there was less than 25 minutes, maybe as little as 13 minutes, between the ground shaking and the first tremendous waves swamping Samoa. And it didn’t help that an international computerized system, designed for relief agencies to figure out if they needed to respond, had a computer failure that caused it to pooh-pooh the tsunami’s wrath initially. “This is the kind of earthquake one would expect to be very destructive in the areas close to the epicenter, and unfortunately it was,” said Stuart Weinstein, deputy director at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii. The shaking at the weather service office in Pago Pago, the capital of American Samoa, was so bad that one official immediately called the tsunami warning center in Hawaii, while the island’s chief meteorologist phoned homeland security to activate the warning system. Just before 7 a.m. local time, bulletins were issued and alerts aired on TV and radio. But there wasn’t enough time. Four sets of waves 15 to 20 feet high hit. As of Wednesday afternoon, the death toll had climbed well over 100. “It’s one of those heart-wrenching situations where you have some time, but what can you do? It’s not much time,” said Eric Geist, a tsunami specialist and geophysicist at the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park, Calif. Tsunamis are towering waves triggered by earthquakes. They can top 100 feet, and can stick around

for as much as an hour, recede violently, then come back hours later. In some ways, the geological conditions were even worse for Tuesday’s tsunami than they were during the devastating 9.0-magnitude quake and tsunami that killed more than 150,000 people in Asia in 2004. But this time, there were fewer people in harm’s way in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The key factor this time was the type of earthquake. It was an “outer rise” quake — one that breaks the sea floor in a way that concentrates the energy and pushes up at the water to create a wave, said Bruce Jaffe, an oceanographer and tsunami specialist at USGS in Santa Cruz, Calif. Strong quakes are usually a different type, called a thrust event. The area where it hit is no stranger to quakes, getting a few magnitude-6-to-7 ones per year, said Peggy Hellweg, a geophysicist at the Berkeley Seismological Laboratory. Because quakes are measured on a logarithmic scale, a magnitude-8 is 1,000 times stronger than a magnitude-6 in terms of energy released, Hellweg said. Tuesday’s quake was the fourthstrongest outer rise on record, Geist said. This quake was also relatively shallow in the ground, only 11.2 miles under the sea floor. That’s important because the closer the quake is to the surface of the ocean, the less energy dissipates as it travels through the ground. It was also in deep water. Initial estimates are that there was well over 3 miles, maybe even 4 miles, of water above the shaking ground, Geist said. That means more water

Weather from page 1 managed to collect and analyze over the past few years.” Strong said he doesn’t plan to do much more research. Instead, he’ll pass the torch to the future scientists of America. “I am probably going to go straight into teaching,” he said. “I find that it is fulfilling and more

important to society in the end.” Gutzler said he’ll support Strong no matter what direction he chooses to take. “Mel is a gifted analyst,” Gutzler said. “He’s super creative when it comes to ways to collect data that no one else has done before, and he is an absolutely gifted teacher.”

displaced, and thus bigger waves. If there had been only 1 mile of water above the quake, the waves would have been about 11 feet smaller, Geist estimated. That deep water also was responsible for the blinding speed of the tsunami. The deeper the water, the faster a tsunami travels. This water was so deep that the tsunami could have been zipping along at 530 mph, Geist said. Usually, a tsunami slows down when it hits shallow water. Around the United States, for example, the shallow continental shelf slows downs waves dramatically.

As guest of honor at Albuquerque’s 10th Annual Solar Fiesta last weekend, the sun made a strong enough appearance to power a solar oven over 20 feet tall. New Mexico is exposed to about 7.5 kilowatts of solar energy per square meter every day, according to a 2004 report from the Center for Electric and Hydrogen Technologies and Systems, and it looks like Albuquerqueans are getting serious about harnessing that power. Hundreds of people flocked to the fiesta on Sept. 26 and 27 to see about 80 booths with dozens of solar gadgets and informational brochures. One of the exhibits came from UNM’s electrical and computer engineering department. Lecturer Olga Lavrova said she and a few students went to tell people about their solar car, which they plan to enter in the 2010 North American Solar Challenge. “These are the future renewable energy engineers,” Lavrova said. “I think for UNM, we have no excuse for not participating in this challenge. All the other competitors are from Minnesota, California, and we have most of the sun so we have no excuse for not being put on the map.”

Ideas

The challenge has two parts, Lavrova said. The first part is on a racetrack to see which car can drive the most laps. “And then there’s a road race, which is the endurance race and you go from Tulsa, Okla. to Chicago,” she said. Another exhibitor at the fiesta was the Colorado-based National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Renewable Energy and Efficiency Education on Wheels coordinator Rick Shin said the laboratory is one of 16 national labs working for the Department of Energy. “Of the data that I’ve seen, New Mexico is up in the top for states using renewable (energy),” Shin said. “Solar is big and so is wind. I think you have a governor and a state that is behind renewable energy. Some states have a difficult go because they have a lot of resistance from the administrations in their states, but some states still manage to get through that.” Shin said he has hope for the renewable energy movement because states that have invested in the oil industry still have renewable energy potential. “As big as the oil lobby would be in Texas, they still have a lot of wind power they use there,” he said. “I think people now realize that renewable is going to be the way to go and that fossil fuels and nonrenewable energies are not going to be around forever, so we have to do something and it’s better that we start doing it now rather than later.”

Large solar panel

One of the on-wheels laboratory’s displays was a thin, foldable solar mat that the military uses in the field. The mat can recharge communication equipment or a laptop, Shin said. The UNM Sustainability Studies Program also attended the fiesta to demonstrate the use of solar-powered ovens and to dole out some useful information to students. Lecturer Maggie Seeley said twice as many students have joined UNM’s sustainability program this semester. “We cover solar and water conservation, genetically modified organisms in your food, industrial agriculture, poverty, why some nations are rich and others are poor, and anything else that you can think of that has to do with sustainability, like green architecture,” Seeley said. “We just went from 30 students to 60 students just this semester.” Student Gael Whettnall worked for the Sustainability Studies Program’s booth at the fiesta. Whettnall said the program helped him meet a group of like-minded people. “Another aspect of my life that makes me more sustainable would be the community aspect, going out in the community, doing workshops, meeting different people in the community,” he said. “I have my own vegetable garden, I have my own compost pile, I monitor my electricity use and switched all my light bulbs.”

Zombies attack during epic quest for Twinkie by Chris Quintana Daily Lobo

“Zombieland,� directed by Ruben Fleischer, has all the great makings of a zombie film: zombies, survivors killing the zombies with shotguns and cars, and more zombies to take their fallen comrades’ places. The flick succeeds in character development, top-notch visual effects and zombie-based dark humor, so it’s forgivable that the movie lacks a strong story and tries too hard to be quirky. Fleischer immediately immerses the viewer in the zombie-filled world, starting the film with rapid shots of zombies chasing down and devouring humans in a fountain of blood and entrails. The beginning suggests a nonstop kill fest, but the film quickly shifts its focus to the protagonist, Columbus, played by Jesse Eisenberg, and his fellow zombie survivor Tallahassee, played by Woody Harrelson, as they voyage across the country while fending off zombies. Eventually, the duo meets Wichita and Little Rock, two sisters who are also making their way across the country to California. It seems writers Rhett Reese and

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

LOBO REVIEW “Zombieland� Opens Friday Rated R Grade: B

Paul Wernick spent a lot of time creating plausible characters, because the protagonists survive by means of their personalities rather than by luck, which is the norm in other zombie flicks. Tallahassee survives because he hates the zombies for killing his son. Wichita and Little Rock survive because before the disease outbreak they were con artists and always distrustful of others. And watching these diverse characters interact is one of the great pleasures of “Zombieland.� Whether they are destroying a rest stop to enjoy the “little things� or sharing a road trip and screaming at each other about the driving, they’re ludicrously funny. However, with a heavy focus on characters, the story line often seems direction-less. For example, one scene involves

a cameo from Bill Murray who gets shot in the chest while pretending to be a zombie. While this is possibly the best cameo of the year and the scene is hilarious, its relevance to the main story is unclear. Then again, the main story is that the characters are heading to California in search of a Twinkie. The viewer often forgets that the world is overrun by zombies until Columbus, via a heavy-handed voice-over, reminds everyone that the protagonists are still in danger. The voice-over is just one example of how “Zombieland,� like many other Hollywood films, nearly forces odd elements into the plot, in Page an1effort to be as original as “Juno�

and “Adventureland.â€? Graphical elements like the protagonist’s thoughts written on screen are fun at first but are ultimately distracting. The film also features a precocious 12-year-old who is clearly smarter than the adults, Ă la “Little Miss Sunshineâ€? and “500 Days of Summer.â€? This sort of character has become a mainstream element and is no longer a creative stroke of genius. It’s disappointing to see Fleischer still shoving these quirky tricks into a film to make it seem unique. Fleischer does manage to imbue the film with some originality thanks to the zombie elements. Like any zombie flick, the undead creatures are covered in blood and have a lust for human flesh, but these zombies also possess a

human touch. They can get fat if they eat too much, and they have the uncanny knowledge that people are most vulnerable when they’re sitting on the toilet. Plus, the zombie kills are some of the best. There’s one with a rubber mallet, another with a steel banjo to the face, and still another with a lid from a toilet tank. The deaths, while soaked with an undue amount of gore, are hilarious, and each one always outdoes the last. Overall, “Zombieland� is the definition of a fun movie. While viewers looking for coherency might be disappointed, the film will engage everyone else with horrifying and comedic zombie moments and deep, sensible characters that will leave the audience’s own lust for zombie action satisfied.

Keyboardist fuses styles in thrilling live shows by Alisha Catanach Daily Lobo

Mark Mallman

Mark Mallman, famed for his exciting live shows, plays a keyboard that might as well be an electric guitar. Mallman said his live shows display his wild side and get the crowd involved. “My album is almost like a blueprint for a really crazy insane asylum,� he said. “You can map out and build an insane asylum, but it doesn’t really become anything until you put the people in it.� The Minneapolis native has toured the country 23 times and opened for bands like Of Montreal, Donovan, and Cat Power, according to his Web site. Mallman will stop at Burt’s Tiki Lounge on Monday to perform songs from his new album Invincible Criminal. Mallman said his music fuses 70s and 80s rock-inspired tunes that have a pop-rock feel to them and incorporate qualities of Arcade Fire and David Bowie. Mallman said he also composes music for movies. He worked on music for the trailers of major motion pictures “10,000 B.C.� and “Wall-E.� He’s also composed the musical scores of feature-length films including “Living Arrangements� and “The Curse of the Demon.� Mallman said the greatest source of his musical inspiration is his previous album,

Burt’s Tiki Lounge 313 Gold Ave. SW Monday, Oct. 5 8 p.m.

The Audio Book, a parody of the novella The Metamorphosis. It incorporates existentialist and absurdist philosophy, he said. His newest album is less deep and more about partying, causing chaos, and pretending to rob banks, Mallman said. Mallman said he is serious about recording and writing songs, but when he goes on stage, a different person takes over. “When I’m on stage I go crazy and don’t have to hide it anymore,� he said. Mallman’s drummer Aaron Lemay said their live shows always bring out fans who want to listen to some funky new music. “The live show is so much different than the record,� Lemay said. “The live show is more chaos, the record is more structured. Anything goes on stage.� The album incorporates the synthesizer to produce poppy, retro sounds that are reminiscent of the 80s, Mallman said. “I’m on this vision quest to write the greatest pop songs I can, but it’s not Top 40,� he said. “What I do is an experiment.�
