Cellphones can be a useful teaching tool, ¿no? by Antonio Sanchez news@dailylobo.com
UNM honors professor Chris Holden said he looks to video games as a teaching tool. Holden is an advocate for education through video games
and mobile games and has held discussions with students and faculty members throughout the semester about games in the classroom. “Take ‘Civilization.’ It’s a difficult game to play, takes about 100 hours to really understand the system and yet people do it for fun,” Holden said.
“Video games are typically difficult to learn things, that in the course of learning how to play them, people have learned a lot of interesting things entirely out of the formal learning context of what you’re doing at school.” While most lecture classes on campus are incorporating technology
These are stills from the cellphone game “Mentira,” an interactive murder-mystery game that Spanish 202 students play. UNM professor Chris Holden, who designed the game, said the game is meant to teach students how to think critically in Spanish. He said teachers should think of cellphones as teaching tools rather than nuisances.

gearedtowardteachingmorestudents, such as lectures that can be viewed online, Holden said interactive games could help build a smaller, more personal bond between students and the subjects being taught. Holden said he works with Augmented Reality and Interactive Storytelling (ARIS), an open-source platform that allows those with no programming experience to create mobile games, as a way for educators to interact with their students. He said educators need to look at students’ cellphones as new means to teach. “Schools pretend that cellphones don’t even exist, even though outside of school, there’s a huge difference between how people live now and how they lived 10 years ago,” he said. Holden teaches “Local Games,” an undergraduate course within the Honors College, in which students learn to create and program locally based educational smartphone games with the ARIS software. This software can be used as a tool similar to Microsoft PowerPoint — while one program can help students create PowerPoint presentations, the other can help build games, allowing students to place text, photos and videos. Holden said he’s used the same program to create “Mentira,” an interactive murder-mystery game that teaches students in Spanish 202 classes how to interact and critically think while speaking in Spanish. He said that with “Mentira,” students can select from possible choices of dialogue to interact with the game’s
characters. Each choice they make dictates how the conversation and game continues. Holden said the three-week game lesson plan culminates with a field trip to Los Griegos, where the game is set, so students can walk and investigate using the game’s GPS system. He said that with games like “Mentira,” UNM Spanish courses could connect with the community. “One of the efficiencies we don’t even think about is the idea that here we are living in a city where the Spanish language actually means something and has been here longer than the English language has. Our language classrooms look like one in Iowa or Alaska,” he said. “We’re trying to have a much larger conversation than making it so more people in class can pass vocabulary tests that already exist.” Coordinator of Spanish as a Second Language Julie Sykes worked alongside Holden on the “Mentira” project and said she plans to incorporate similar interactive games as a teaching tool for introductory Spanish classes. “The plan of what we’re looking toward is moving away from this idea that you have to learn all this grammar, this book stuff, totally unrelated to actually speaking Spanish. Real people speak Spanish, and we want people to interact with that right away,” Sykes said. “Spanish doesn’t have to be this one-semester core class that you have to take that’s awful, that you don’t like.”
TRANSGENDER DAY OF REMEMBERANCE
Coming retirements to cut force by about 200 The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE — Proposed changes to state retirement funds may prompt hundreds of Albuquerque police officers to retire and spark an officer shortage in New Mexico’s largest city. Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz said the city could lose about 200 officers to retirement in a few months, KOAT-TV reported. Those retirements would reduce the department’s workforce to about 800, Schultz said. In addition, Albuquerque police could face difficulty in immediately hiring replacements. The department recently increased hiring requirements for incoming cadets following a string of officer-involved shootings. The possible officer shortage

The ambiguity of ‘Abbey Road’ ‘Abbey Road Station’ sees many confused Beatles fans by Raphael Satter The Associated Press
LONDON — It’s a mystery tour, but it’s hardly magical. More than nine miles from the striped crosswalk made famous by the Beatles album “Abbey Road,” this drab transit station in east London keeps drawing confused fans of the Fab Four into unwanted jaunts through a gritty, industrial area just south of London’s Olympic Stadium. Abbey Road Station has no relation to the Beatles’ Abbey Road Studios, the birthplace of the eponymous album and a London tourist landmark. The glass-andmetal station is wedged among a train depot, warehouses and gloomy public housing projects, a world away from the leafy, suburban street pictured on the album’s cover. It didn’t take long for American visitor Christie Johnson, 22, to figure out she was in the wrong place.
volume 117
“It didn’t look right,” the Denver resident said. She and her embarrassed host — English student Melody Vettraino — wanted to see the iconic crosswalk on a whim. At the nearby Star Newsagents, 36-year-old Paramjeet Kaur said her convenience store saw an average of a dozen Beatles fans a day. Outside, 19-year-old Nathan Johnson said he was constantly seeing visitors stride across the small, uneven intersection outside the station to recreate the pose struck by Paul McCartney, John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison on the 1969 album cover — even if the newcomers have come to the wrong place. “All the time,” Johnson said, smiling. London counts at least 11 Abbey Roads, with potential tourist pitfalls in neighborhoods such as Barking or Bexleyheath, both of which are on the outer edges of central London. In the British capital as elsewhere the common street name harkens back to the medieval priories that once dotted the area.

But Abbey Road Station, which opened last year, is the only one in London to bear the name. Given the Beatles connection, some have urged the capital’s transit authority to modify its maps. Transport for London officials said Tuesday there are no plans to change the station’s name. Spokesman Allan Ramsey said in a statement that it is unfortunate that some visitors get confused but that the problem could be remedied if visitors just did their homework. Christie Johnson, a semi-professional soccer player, said she wasn’t too disappointed to have gone to the wrong Abbey Road, explaining that she wasn’t that big of a Beatles fan anyway. She said she mostly just wanted a picture of herself on the famous crosswalk to show her friends. Now, she’ll have a different story to tell. “I’ll say we tried,” she said. “It’ll get a good laugh.” At the London Beatles Store, which sells Fab Four memorabilia, owner Howard Cohen said the mixup over the location of the studio Culture Editor Nicole Perez Assistant Culture Editor Antonio Sanchez Sports Editor Thomas Romero-Salas Assistant Sports Editor J.

Limits on bluefin continue ‘Devastated’ tuna stocks need more time to recover
Short Stack of Pancakes for 99¢
by Paul Schemm
w/ purchase of beverage
AGADIR, Morocco — Fishing countries on Monday voted to keep up strict limits on catching Atlantic Bluefin tuna, overruling fierce opposition from critics who argue that the key sushi ingredient is on the rebound. Observers at a weeklong meeting in the Moroccan resort of Agadir said some countries pushed for removing tough quotas, but that the 48-member international organization of fishing nations decided the devastated population still needed time to rebuild. Stocks of bluefin in the Atlantic Ocean fell catastrophically due to rampant, often illegal, overfishing and lax quotas — dropping by 60 percent between 1997 and 2007. Although there has been some improvement, experts say the outlook for the species is still fragile. “It is always difficult for this commission to make decision. It has 48 members and the views are very varied,” said Masanori Miyahara, the head of the Japanese delegation and chairman of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas. “After a long wait, the bluefin tuna is showing signs of recovery — we have to move step by step and follow scientific advice.” The quota will be allowed to rise slightly from 12,900 metric tons a year to 13,500 — the upper limit recommended by scientists in 2006. Quotas were as high as 32,000 tons in 2006. Environmentalists welcomed Monday’s decision, saying it will maintain the recovery for at least

Hot Yoga Koji Sasahara / AP file photo In this March 26, 2010 file photo, a local fisherman carries a tuna at a fishing port in Nachikatsuura, southwestern Japan. After defeating a proposal in 2010 to ban the export of an endangered fish that is a key ingredient of sushi, Japan and Asian nations argued it should be left to quota-setting international fisheries bodies to bring the species back from the brink. the next year. The decision will be reviewed in 2014, though the original scientific recommendation called for maintaining the quotas through 2022. “We are pleased because for us it is very important to respect the scientific advice and this is the first time we are tracking recovery,” said Susana Sainz Trapaga, the fisheries advocacy officer of the World Wildlife Fund. “It’s very important in this uncertain situation that we keep up efforts and stay with the recovery plan we have up to now.” Similar newly proposed protection measures for mako and porbeagle sharks, which also come under the commission’s purview, were not adopted by the commission. The Oceana conservation organization described that decision as “baffling.” “They are willing to be cautious and follow scientific advice
on bluefin, but when it comes to sharks, they ignore recommendations,” Oceana shark expert Allison Perry told The Associated Press. Shark populations have become seriously depleted, especially by the practice of finning, in which the fin of the shark is removed and then the creature is tossed back in the water to die, she said. One of the proposals would have required all sharks landed to have attached fins. The conference only adopted a proposal to report next year on member compliance with existing shark protection measures. Miyahara said he was disappointed with the failure to agree on protections for the endangered porbeagle shark. According to the Ecology Action Center, Canada has been the main opposition to extending protections to the porbeagle due to its commercial interests in the shark.
of officers said Albuquerque should hire more officers in order to improve the department. Last year, largely in response to the uptick in officer-involved shootings, the department began a number of policy reforms including requiring more college credit or military service for returning veterans, and requiring all officers to wear lapel cameras to record interactions with residents. The Albuquerque Police Department has faced heat from activists for 25 officer-involved shootings — 17 fatal — since 2010. Critics has blame some of the shootings for a lack a training for officers and a rush to hire officers a few years ago when department faced a shortage the last time. Albuquerque police isn’t the only
law enforcement agency in the state battling shortages of officers. Earlier this year, Roswell Police Chief Alfonso Solis pulled the department’s resource officer from the Roswell Independent School District after the department announced it was short more than a dozen officers. Roswell has been battling high rates of gang violence and had requested help from U.S. Homeland Security Investigations. In September, Rio Arriba County Sheriff Tommy Rodella said his deputies would stop patrols after 8 p.m. and respond only to emergency calls for service because of a deputy shortage. The sheriff said he only had 22 deputies in a county that stretches from Española to Colorado. Deputies also provide court security and transport inmates to court.

comes as state officials say the state’s Public Employees Retirement Association, or PERA, faces a $6.2 billion unfunded liability, according to PERA Executive Director Wayne Propst. Officials say the unfunded hole in its retirement fund has to be filled or benefits could be cut. Part of the proposal could delay the cost of living adjustments for current employees if they put off their retirement. That uncertainty makes some veteran police officers uneasy about their future, said Schultz. “Everybody’s talking about it, everyone’s watching it closely. Some people are saying I don’t even want to take a chance,” Schultz said. A survey released Tuesday by the Albuquerque Police Officers Association found that nearly 90 percent

Letter
Veteran’s accusations against VA not credible Editor, This letter is in response to the opinion column authored by guest columnist Frank Martin in the Nov. 7 edition of the Daily Lobo. Martin seems to present many wild, outlandish claims throughout his rambling article. I am quite surprised that the editors from the Daily Lobo did not effectively investigate some of his accusations prior to publishing this column, considering it has the potential to be viewed by thousands of students, alumni and faculty. As a veteran, I feel obligated to address some of his claims and present the student body with the fact that not all veterans think as Martin does. In addition, I have experience as a combat veteran and am currently receiving disability compensation for service-connected disabilities. I have many questions to his accusations. However, in an effort to keep my letter short and poignant, I aim to address only a few points. I have experience working with the Department of Veteran Affairs and have never witnessed the problems outlined by Martin. I was especially concerned with the claim that the VA has a program aimed at the “deliberate killing of veterans at the VA in Albuquerque.” It seems to me that a claim like that being published in a student newspaper, both in print and online, would require some type of fact check. Many of the claims by Martin are not validated in any way by statistics, quotes from other sources or any validating information that would back his claims. Furthermore, when did Martin serve? He never mentioned how he was disabled. Are his injuries the result of his service? What grounds does he stand on to demand care from the VA? The VA categorizes veterans based on their exposure to combat and severity of trauma suffered, both mental and physical. Wounded veterans and those who saw combat but were not wounded are put in higher priority groups that are pushed to the front of the line for medical care. The fact that Martin is not prioritized tells me that his injuries may not be the result of his service. For all intents and purposes, Martin may be a veteran, but it does not sound to me like he served in a time of war. Though the VA system can be very difficult and frustrating to navigate, a veteran who has all of his or her appropriate documentation will be provided with adequate care. The thoughts of one particular individual must be taken with a grain of salt, much as my own opinions should be. However, there is a difference between an opinion and false, malicious accusations. Journalism is a powerful tool that helps us exercise our right to speak our mind, so I am glad the Daily Lobo has realized the significance of an article such as Martin’s and addressed it respectfully with this rebuttal.

Column
Football embodies worst side of U.S. by Peter Kindilien
Daily Lobo columnist opinion@dailylobo.com In the Education Amendments of 1972, Title IX requires gender equality in the hiring and employment practices of all federally financed institutions, including universities that receive federal funds and their athletic programs. To meet these requirements and still be able to field football teams, schools across the country dropped many men’s sports programs in track, cross country, golf, tennis, rowing, swimming and wrestling. Football is now labeled America’s No. 1 sport, presumably because it produces the greatest revenue from TV advertising. But with the exception of the NFL, semi-pro and a few city leagues, you rarely see men older than 30 — or women of any age — playing football. We are the most out-of-shape Americans in history, and our favorite sport is one that is actually played, for all practical purposes, exclusively by young males. Let’s examine the consequences of our infatuation with football from a national health and fitness standpoint. Football holds the dubious distinction of being the highest contributor to sports-related concussions, with nearly 70,000 diagnosed every year from high school football alone. Jim McMahon, age 53, quarterback of the Super Bowl Champion ‘86 Bears, has been diagnosed with early-onset dementia, attributable to the four concussions he suffered while playing. He now wishes he had pursued a promising career in baseball instead. The sad decade-long demise and recent death of Alex Karras is another reminder that one out of three pro football players experience mental deterioration when their careers are over. The NFL is finally being forced to address the Players Association’s concerns with the health risks of chronic head injuries. The great open-field runs, pin-point passes and ballet-like receptions are juxtaposed with scenes of yet another player lying immobile on the ground. Even if he leaves the field under his own power, the true repercussions of that impact may not be known for decades. The NFL’s slow recognition of the tragic consequences of multiple concussions is reminiscent of the long struggle by veterans to get the military to acknowledge, accu-
rately diagnose and treat PTSD. And football reaps zero national health benefits, outside entertainment for fans. This hardly looks like a successful model for what we should be emphasizing as our national waistline expands. The habit of lifelong fitness is most easily acquired at an early age, and it should be obvious to all that such habits are not what our culture promotes. Physical activity is a fundamental ingredient of a healthy lifestyle. Emphasizing spectator sports, at the expense of supporting activities that can be enjoyed by people past the age of 30, has proven to be a recipe for what we have become. The NFL has been enjoying tax-exempt status as a nonprofit organization, thanks to the infinite wisdom of our good-old-boy Congress. Instead of promoting participant sports — like those that have been eliminated by college athletic departments — we enthrone a sport that provides a vicarious outlet for the violent fantasies of a minority of our population. Because let’s face it: Most women probably revile football culture, and many men could care less about it. That leaves those who appreciate the beauty of the sport, and those who love the violence. There is a link between the glorification of gladiator sports, which produce brain injuries at an alarming rate (including the latest rage, cage fighting), and the fact that we are overmedicated and increasingly detached and incapable of activity ourselves. We have become desensitized to the pain and suffering of others, and are devolving into a nation of couch warriors. It is hard to believe that we are the same country that sacrificed a generation to fighting the good war against fascism 70 years ago. Today, our military is hard pressed to recruit sufficiently qualified manpower, because most applicants are physically or otherwise unfit. We may soon be forced to outsource armies to fight our battles, numerous as they have become. Since the end of WWII, the U.S. has incarcerated and executed more of its own citizens and killed more foreigners than any other Western nation. As males, we have been trained to suppress our feelings from early childhood. We remain conveniently insensitive to the fact that we as a nation were responsible, directly and indirectly, for the deaths of more than 100,000 entirely inno-
cent Iraqi civilians. That’s not even counting the much larger number of people who have died as a result of our economic sanctions against Saddam Hussein. Is it surprising that we are obsessed with viewing brutal, debilitating sports rather than actively cycling, hiking, swimming, walking, climbing, caving, playing nonviolent sports or dancing? I suspect the citizens of Rome had grown uncomfortably numb, gluttonously stuffing themselves at feasts and cheering the deaths of colosseum combatants as their empire collapsed around them. A nation increasingly perceived as a soft and vulnerable bully, we seem unaware of what we have become and of what we now represent to many people in the rest of the world. The NFL is attempting to expand to an international market, but countries are growing wary of what they choose to adopt from our culture. They would be wise to consider the costs of embracing a sport that so callously disregards the well-being of those who participate in it, and thatat times disconcertingly mirrors the more belligerent aspects of our foreign and domestic policy. Congress passed Title IX, but it has itself been violating the intent of that law by granting exclusive privileges to a business which is strictly male-oriented and results in such large numbers of life-changing injuries. So let’s be clear: There is nothing macho about brain damage, it should not be a source of national entertainment and tax payers should not be forced to supplement the NFL’s $10 billion annual profit margin. Our traditional ways of thinking could do with some rethinking now in the 21st century. For starters, we need to enlighten and improve ourselves, rather than exploiting and annihilating others.

the road to Las Vegas. The format is arresting and provocative; two male actors play every resident and more, each in series of dialogues plastered together by speedy and carefully designed backstage costume changes. The vast majority of these characters are women, so the cross-dressing creations are a major factor in the onstage hilarity. And hilarious it is. The script is quick, quirky and clever, and Patrick Ross and Adam Kidd are experienced and deft at comedy and impersonation. Ross and Kidd put in some hard work in this play. There is a huge variety among the characters the actors portray. Ross and Kidd find the unique timing and delivery specific to each character. Ross’ women are bigger and grander, giving them a vaudevillian feel, the best of which is his field-marshalling Vegas hotel manager. Kidd’s performances are more human and grounded in reality. His female characters are not bluster or caricature; they are simply and undeniably women. His adorable Texas wife, Bertha, as well as his coffeehouse waitress, Inita, bring smiles to the audience — not just because of Kidd’s handling of the humor, but also because of the
sincerity of his characters. There was also a racist Asian impression that brought to mind Mickey Rooney in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” which was more shocking and unexpected than all the bawdy sex jokes and political jabs in the world. It was an old school kind of racism with a one-off joke that was onstage just long enough to make you question the value of the “Hu’s on First” gag before disappearing back into the ensemble. The skill of Ross and Kidd’s craft is so awesome it almost distracts from the simple enjoyment of the jokes at hand. There is a great simplicity, however, in much of the technical decisions of the production. The props number zero, because everything is mimed. The set has no hint to location, it’s merely a backdrop with faint white and baby-blue paints. Ross and Kidd designed and created the costumes themselves, putting a lot of attention into them. But there is a bit of a pacing issue in the show overall. It begins slowly, and the opening weekend, Ross and Kidd did not seem completely comfortable with the words, though these are issues that will quickly iron themselves out.
Some of the most endearing scenes involve a married couple whose romantic getaway to Vegas creates the frame for the ensuing high jinks. The characters unfortunately bookend the action and guts of the play, as opposed to driving the production. They are oddly and significantly absent, and sorely missed. “Tuna Does Vegas” is one of the funniest and most enjoyable plays to be shown in Albuquerque in ages. You’ll laugh, you may not cry, but you just might get a warm, fuzzy feeling in your belly. And you just might want to stand up and clap at the end.

The Associated Press NEW YORK — Americans get too many calories from soda. But what about alcohol? It turns out adults get almost as many empty calories from booze as from soft drinks, a government study found. Soda and other sweetened drinks — the focus of obesity-fighting public health campaigns — are the source of about 6 percent of the calories adults consume, on average. Alcoholic beverages account for about 5 percent, the new study found. “We’ve been focusing on sugarsweetened beverages. This is something new,” said Cynthia Ogden, one of the study’s authors. She’s an epidemiologist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention which released its findings Thursday. The government researchers say the findings deserve attention because, like soda, alcohol contains few nutrients but plenty of calories. The study is based on interviews with more than 11,000 U.S. adults from 2007 through 2010. Participants were asked extensive questions about what they ate and drank over the previous 24 hours.

The study found the following: —On any given day, about onethird of men and one-fifth of women consumed calories from beer, wine or liquor. —Averaged out to all adults, the average guy drinks 150 calories from alcohol each day, or the equivalent of a can of Budweiser. —The average woman drinks about 50 calories, or roughly half a glass of wine. —Men drink mostly beer. For women, there was no clear favorite among alcoholic beverages. —There was no racial or ethnic difference in average calories consumed from alcoholic beverages. But there was an age difference, with younger adults putting more of it away. For reference, a 12-ounce can of regular Coca-Cola has 140 calories, slightly less than a same-sized can of regular Bud. A 5-ounce glass of wine is around 100 calories. In September, New York City approved an unprecedented measure cracking down on giant sodas: those bigger than 16 ounces, or half a liter. It will take effect in March and bans sales of drinks that large at restaurants, cafeterias and concession stands. Should New York officials now start cracking down on tall-boy beers and monster margaritas? There are no plans for that, city
health department officials said, adding in a statement that while studies show that sugary drinks are “a key driver of the obesity epidemic,” alcohol is not. Health officials should think about enacting policies to limit alcoholic intake, but New York’s focus on sodas is appropriate, said Margo Wootan, director of nutrition policy for the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a public health advocacy group. Soda and sweetened beverages are the bigger problem, especially when it comes to kids. Such beverages are the No. 1 source of calories in the U.S. diet, she said. “In New York City, it was smart to start with sugary drinks. Let’s see how it goes and then think about next steps,” she said. However, she lamented that the Obama administration is planning to exempt alcoholic beverages from proposed federal regulations requiring calorie labeling on restaurant menus. It could set up a confusing scenario in which, say, a raspberry iced tea may have a calorie count listed, while an alcohol-laden Long Island Iced Tea — with more than four times as many calories — doesn’t. “It could give people the wrong idea,” she said.
