Internet giants unite against SOPA/PIPA by Luke Holmen and Chelsea Erven news@dailylobo.com

Many people found it difficult to access websites such as Wikipedia and Reddit on Wednesday after more than 500 websites “blacked out” in protest of SOPA and PIPA. The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Internet Privacy Act (PIPA) are bills designed to prevent Internet piracy of copyrighted materials. The Senate votes on PIPA on Jan. 24. While the intention of the bills is to stop online piracy and copyright infringement by foreignbased websites, critics argue the bills will infringe on free speech. Current law permits the prosecution and shutdown of U.S.-based websites that feature pirated content, but the federal government has no jurisdiction over foreign sites. According to the text of the bills, SOPA, introduced in the House of Representatives, and PIPA, introduced in the Senate, would allow the Justice Department to block access to foreign websites that offer pirated content. Additionally, the bills would allow companies to take legal action against sites that host pirated content, and would require credit card companies to stop payments to websites hosting illegal content. While the bills share similar language, SOPA includes a clause which would make it illegal to stream unauthorized content. “Unauthorized content” could include covers of

popular music posted on sites such as Youtube, some crtitics say. For the bills to pass, the House Judiciary Committee must finish its review of SOPA, and both SOPA and PIPA must come to the floor for a vote. The final language of both bills must match. Opponents of the bills, including Wikipedia, said the legislation will limit the freedom of information by requiring internet providers to block websites hosting digital file sharing. But congressional staff memos from those supporting the legislation said the “black out” websites won’t even be affected by the bill. According to these memos, “Websites ‘going dark’ today in protest of the PROTECT IP Act will not be affected by enactment of the legislation. None of the following websites meet the definition of a site dedicated to infringing activities: Wikipedia; YouTube; Flickr; Twitter; Google; craigslist; eBay; The Huffington Post; Yahoo!.” The debate centers partly on concerns about the language of the legislation, which defines piracy and copyright infringement as, “activities constituting specified intellectual property offenses under the federal criminal code including criminal copyright infringement, unauthorized fixation and trafficking of sound recordings or videos of live musical performances, the recording of exhibited motion pictures, or trafficking in counterfeit labels, goods, or services.”

The UNM men’s basketball team’s 13-game winning streak came to a halt Wednesday night at The Pit. The Lobos fell to San Diego State 75-70 in front of a sold-out crowd. The Aztecs’ victory extended their winning streak to nine games. “Anytime in league race (when) you lose home games it makes it difficult,” head coach Steve Alford said. “Losing this one puts our back against the wall early in the conference race.” The Lobos (15-3, 1-1 MWC), have lost 11 of their last 14 meetings against the Aztecs (16-2, 2-0 MWC). The Aztecs have won 23 straight games against current MWC teams and their nine game streak is the fifthlongest in the nation. The Lobos started the game with a bang when senior forward Drew Gordon threw down an alley-oop pass from sophomore guard Kendall Williams, which ignited a 12-2 run. “We appeared to be on the verge of being blown out,” Aztecs’ head coach Steve Fisher said about the Lobos’ early start. It took four and a half minutes for the Aztecs to get on the board, and then only two minutes to catch up and take the lead. “In that run, they did a really good job to stay poised,” senior forward Phillip McDonald said. As the half went on, the Aztecs settled down and forced the Lobos into tough shots and nine turnovers, which allowed San Diego State to go into intermission down just one point, 31-30.

Reactions to SOPA and PIPA: “I think trying to combat internet piracy is a good thing, but I don’t think either of those bills is a good way to do it. There are too many possibilities in those bills for infringing on people’s civil rights. I don’t think passage of either of those bills is the best way to do it.” –Vanessa Baca, UNM Information Technologies Department spokeswoman “Imagine a world without free knowledge. For over a decade, we have spent millions of hours building the largest encyclopedia in human history. Right now, the U.S. Congress is considering legislation that could fatally damage the free and open Internet.” –Wikipedia.org “It is ironic that a website dedicated to providing information is spreading misinformation about the Stop Online Piracy Act. The bill will not harm Wikipedia, domestic blogs or social networking sites. This publicity stunt does a disservice to its users by promoting fear instead of facts. Perhaps during the blackout, Internet users can look elsewhere for an accurate deﬁnition of online piracy.” -- House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas “People are acting like the government is going to censor everything and shut down Youtube and Wikipedia, and that simply isn’t the case. The bills are designed to crack down on people outside the U.S. that are illegally distributing copyright material. They are trying to put some measures in place to limit the amount of theft. They already do this with U.S. websites.” – Rodney Bogdanovich, UNM student “I don’t understand how these bills can even have support. The people in the government aren’t listening to America, and this is just the slippery path down the road of the government censoring things. There are other ways we can better confront piracy than limiting freedom of what people can look at on the Internet.” – Renee Garcia, UNM student “I think it’s going to stiﬂe creativity and research. … It’s too broad and vaguely worded to really go after the foreign people who are doing the pirating. It’s just not going to work and there’s a lot of opportunity for domestic use.” – Jeff Bowles, UNM computer science senior applications support analyst “The (intellectual property) theft is in the range of $130 billion per year … and it’s a very serious issue. But some good issues have been raised. We have to listen to all of these folks about what they’re talking about. I think we can reach some common ground to protect innovation and internet security.” – Sen. Tom Udall, D-NM, who signed onto the SOPA bill, told the Albuquerque Journal

Bill allocates funds for Lauded filmmaker session expenses takes job in Santa Fe SANTA FE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The House has approved a measure providing $5 million for expenses of the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 30-day session. The measure cleared the House on a unanimous vote Wednesday after partisan sparring over redistricting. Republicans tried unsuccessfully to block the Legislature from spending money on an appeal of a court-ordered plan for drawing new boundaries of House districts. The bill goes to the Senate for consideration. The measure allocates money for session expenses, including salaries of staff, printing of bills and a $154-a-day expense reimbursement for legislators, who do not receive a salary. The bill also provides more than $14 million for year-round legislative operations, including the Legislative Council Service, which is the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill-drafting and administrative arm.

Police: Drunk mom put child in danger

Crews begin cleanup of Police: Man threw old asbestos sites puppy at officers

LAS CRUCES â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A New Mexico woman has been indicted after police said she made her daughter with special needs pretend to drive while she was being stopped on suspicion of drunken driving. The Las Cruces Sun-News reports that a DoĂąa Ana County grand jury indicted 32-year-old Reyna Guadalupe Quintana last week on charges of drunken driving, negligent child abuse, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. According to court documents, police stopped Quintana in December for swerving and driving her minivan 40 mph in a 55 mph zone. Documents said police found â&#x20AC;&#x153;a young femaleâ&#x20AC;? at the wheel who later told police that her mother asked her to jump on the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat because she did not want to get arrested. It was unclear if Quintana had an attorney.

ALBUQUERQUE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The removal of asbestos-contaminated soil has begun at two Albuquerque sites where insulating materials were manufactured from the 1960s through the 1980s. The Albuquerque Journal reports that both sites received and processed tons of asbestos-tainted vermiculite, a mineral used in insulation, fireproofing materials and potting soil. Crews on Tuesday began removing the first of up to 5,000 cubic yards of soil from the former Silico Inc. plant. The Environmental Protection Agency says work began Saturday at a smaller site where contractors must remove an estimated 1,000 cubic yards of soil from the yard of an occupied home and two vacant houses. That site is the former location of the Southwest Vermiculite Co. Both removal projects are expected to be completed next month.

ALBUQUERQUE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; An Albuquerque man is facing animal cruelty charges after police said he tossed a puppy in the air to get back at the police. KRQE-TV reports that Basilio Gavilan was arrested early Monday at an Albuquerque motel following a disturbance call. Police said they found a drunk Gavilan violating the hotelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no alcohol policy. According to a criminal complaint, police told Gavilan that he needed to pack up and get out. Police said thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when he picked up his Chinese Shar-Pei named Bongo, brought the weeks-old puppy up to his arm level, and threw him up in the air. Authorities said the puppy fell on his head. Police said Bongo is doing well and may be put up for adoption. It was unclear if Gavilan had an attorney.

Parties dispute district lines by Barry Massey

The Associated Press SANTA FE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Republicans tried unsuccessfully Wednesday to derail a legislative appeal of a courtordered plan for drawing new district boundaries for the state House of Representatives. The outcome of the redistricting fight could influence policy decisions in New Mexico for the rest of the decade by determining whether Democrats or Republicans gain an advantage in future elections determining the makeup of the 70-member House. A day after the Legislature and some Democrats filed legal challenges, House Republicans tried to cut off money for the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appeal, but the move failed on a mostly party-line 35-33 procedural vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have hemorrhaged an enormous amount of money on redistricting,â&#x20AC;? said Rep. Nate Gentry, an Albuquerque Republican. He estimated $1 million had been spent so far on lawyers and other redistricting expenses. Lawyers for the Legislature and a group of Democrats and minority voters filed separate appeals Tuesday with the state Supreme Court and Court of Appeals seeking to overturn a redistricting decision by District Court Judge James Hall. The judge earlier this month adopted a House plan advocated by Republican Gov. Susana Martinez and other GOP statewide officials. The new districts will be used by candidates in this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elections,

and Democrats contend the revised districts will help Republicans pick up House seats. Democrats hold a narrow 36-33 majority in the House, which has one independent. The legislative appeal said the judgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision allowed the governor to use redistricting litigation as an end run around the Legislature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Adopting the executive approach sets a dangerous precedent that would provide a judicially approved roadmap for any future governor who disagrees with the Legislature to undermine the entire political process of redistricting that is mandated by our constitution and laws,â&#x20AC;? lawyers for the Legislature said. Future governors, the lawyers said, will be encouraged to â&#x20AC;&#x153;stand aside from the political process; veto whatever is passed by the Legislature; and use the resulting litigation to finally dictate his or her vision of the ideal political landscape of the state without the opportunity or any regard for public participation and transparency that are the hallmark of our democratic tradition â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thereby disrupting our constitutional order of political checks and balances.â&#x20AC;? Scott Darnell, a spokesman for the governor, disagreed and said Wednesday that the governor and her allies met repeatedly with Democratic lawmakers to try to reach a redistricting compromise last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All attempts to compromise were rejected and Democrats clearly believed that the court would rubber stamp their partisan,

unconstitutional plans ... and when that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve now decided to spend even more tax dollars on appeal,â&#x20AC;? Darnell said in a statement. A group of Democrats said in their appeal that Martinez â&#x20AC;&#x153;snuck in a partisan biased planâ&#x20AC;? and that Hall wrongly concluded the changes were necessary to adjust district boundaries to meet the needs of Native Americans. The plan was proposed shortly before the end of a redistricting trial, and Democrats said that was unfair because lawyers didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a chance to adequately evaluate it or question an expert witness, who was no longer available. Reps. Brian Egolf of Santa Fe and Antonio â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moeâ&#x20AC;? Maestas of Albuquerque were among the Democrats filing the appeal. Lawyers for the Legislature asked the Supreme Court to order a redistricting plan that passed the House and Senate but was vetoed by Martinez, who contended it was unfair to the GOP. The group of Democrats urged the court to direct Hall to select a new redistricting plan from among several other proposals offered during the trial by them, the Legislature or another group of minority voters and Democrats. The appeals ask the Supreme Court to act quickly because legislative candidates must file for office on March 20. Although a challenge to the redistricting decision was filed with the Court of Appeals, lawyers asked that court to send the case to the Supreme Court.

Set goals and keep them this new year by Peggy Spencer

Daily Lobo Columnist

Welcome back. I hope you got some rest and had some fun over the break. Here we are in a new semester and a new year. What does the changing of the calendar mean to you? Is it an opportunity to take stock of your life? A time for resolve and change? Or simply a chance to party hard past midnight? January is named after the god Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and endings, who is also seen as a guardian of doorways. Janus has two faces, one looking back and the other looking forward. Ancient Romans believed that when you passed through the doorway from one year to the next, Janus, a forgiving god, would help you shed old baggage and bless you for a better year ahead. Many people see the beginning of the year as a time to make resolutions. These are usually of the self-improvement variety, aimed at making ourselves into perfect beings. We make up our minds to lose 30 pounds, run a marathon, quit our favorite vice and be free of poisonous thoughts, all by Feb. 1. Sound familiar? As Mark Twain quipped, now is “the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.” Twain’s cynicism is entertaining because it carries some truth. Aiming impossibly high sets us up for a fall. Does that mean we shouldn’t try to make changes? No. It just means we need to be sensible about it. I know you need to make some changes if you’re going to be healthier. We all do. If you are determined to make some lifestyle changes, more power to you. I’m your biggest fan and strongest supporter. But I recommend you start small and go slow. You didn’t get this heavy, this out of shape, or this dependent on caffeine, overnight; right? So don’t expect to reverse it overnight. The most lasting change happens incrementally. Pick one thing to work on at a time, and set reasonable, attainable goals. Cut out dessert on weekends to start. Walk 10 minutes a day at the beginning. Switch one cup to decaf at a time. Hardly dramatic or glamorous, I know, but effective for most lifestyle changes. Remember the old story of the tortoise and the hare? Slow and steady wins the race. Set yourself up for success, and eventually you’ll get there. Notable exceptions might include smoking and drug use. Certain substances are easier to quit cold turkey. But for most big lifestyle changes, baby steps are best. If you want help, come see us at SHAC. Call (505) 277-3136 for an appointment. Good luck and Happy New Year!

Debt and apathy hold students back by Jason Darensburg Daily Lobo Columnist

Goodbye, 2011, and good riddance! Despite many promising developments, the year ended not so much with a bang, but with a whimper. Bring on 2012! Last semester I was given the opportunity to contribute a biweekly column to the Daily Lobo, and I’m honored to be asked back again. The Daily Lobo is the voice of UNM, and like it or not, the Lobo contributes a great deal to press freedom in New Mexico. 2012 will certainly be an eventful year, and I look forward to sharing my thoughts with you as it unfolds. I learned many things while doing research for my columns in 2011, and I hope my readers learned something, too. The most important lesson I learned is how expensive it is to attend college in America, and what a drain it can be both financially and physically. I would never have been able to afford UNM without my wife’s ‘Dependent Education’ tuition benefit — one of the few good benefits left for university employees and their spouses. Excessive tuition costs, even when offset by scholarships and financial aid, make college more difficult to access for the average person. Keeping tuition unreasonably high not only serves to weed out “undesirables,” as it were; it also enslaves students with huge, burdensome debts. The U.S. is one of the few industrialized nations that does not offer a fully subsidized college education to its citizens. Britain is virtually the only European nation to charge college tuition, and when the government recently raised the (minimal) yearly fees, riots ensued. I was surprised to learn that, until very recently, several Scandinavian countries

Too many young people seem to be more interested in the latest gadgets, fashions, reality TV and social networking than they are about education.

offered free college tuition to foreign students. International students can still go to college in Norway free of charge; they just have to pay for their own books and housing. The outrageous costs associated with going to college in America, and fear of the potentially enormous debts involved, have already driven many people away from higher education — even those eligible for financial aid or grants. Students who qualify for federal loans are often shouldered with debts of tens of thousands of dollars. With so few decent-paying jobs available — and little chance this will change any time soon — they’ll likely never be able to pay the money back. Student debt has now reached crisis levels. This situation must be remedied, and soon, or America’s ability to compete on a global scale will be seriously diminished. I’ve come to the conclusion that forgiving all current student loan debt and severely cutting the costs of attending college are imperative for the future economic health of our nation. The movement to forgive student loan debt as a means of economic stimulus has gained some political momentum lately, and I pray this trend continues. One of the more painful lessons I

learned as a “nontraditional” student last semester is that many traditional students couldn’t care less about actually educating themselves, and are simply in college because their parents demand it, or because they think it will get them a better job. It’s depressing how willfully ignorant many students are about the world around them, and how little they truly care. Too many young people seem to be more interested in the latest gadgets, fashions, reality TV and social networking than they are in education. Public schooling appears to have destroyed many students’ ability to think critically, and their complete lack of interest in anything but the most trivial matters is disturbing. It doesn‘t bode well for our future. I just wish students could appreciate how lucky they are to attend college in this day and age. On the other hand, I had the opportunity to meet some wonderful, conscientious kids who are intelligent, socially active, highly literate and engaged in their studies. I admire the energy and determination they exhibit — but unfortunately, in my experience at UNM, they represent a minority. 2012 will not bring the end of the world as some believe. Mayan scholars will tell you that we’ll simply be entering a new astrological cycle in December; it’s like the odometer on your car as each section of the meter reaches nine and then clicks over to zero. 2012 is year zero. A new age beckons, and the future is in our hands. Throughout the year, I’ll continue to highlight important issues that impact us as individuals and the UNM community as a whole. This is an incredibly exciting time to be alive, and I’m grateful to be here with you all on this amazing journey.

ALL ALL All G Famine aid arrives too late ALLStrathmore Strathmore Pads All Grum Pads Medium Strathmore Pads M by Katharine Houreld The Associated Press

NAIROBI, Kenya — Thousands of people died needlessly and millions of dollars were wasted because the international community did not respond fast enough to early signs of famine in East Africa, aid agencies said Wednesday, while warning of a new hunger crisis in West Africa. Most rich donor nations waited until the crisis in the Horn of Africa was in full swing before donating a substantial amount of money, according to the report by aid groups Oxfam and Save the Children. A food shortage had been predicted as early as August 2010, but most donors did not respond until famine was declared in parts of Somalia in July 2011. The report even blamed aid agencies, saying they were too slow to scale up their response. “We all bear responsibility for this dangerous delay that cost lives in East Africa, and need to learn the lessons of the late response,” said Oxfam head Barbara Stocking. The British government estimates that between 50,000 and 100,000 people died from the famine, mostly Somalis. Ethiopia and Kenya were also affected, but aid agencies were able to work more easily there than in war-ravaged Somalia. More than half of those who died are believed to be children. The United Nations says 250,000 Somalis are still at risk of starvation and more than 13 million people need aid. Among the report’s findings: — Donors expressed concern that Ethiopia underestimated the number of people in need and found that the lack of timely, accurate information made it more difficult to provide aid. Ethiopian government figures published in February 2011 said

2.8 million people were in need, and those figures were revised two months later and again in July 2011 to 4.5 million people. — Kenya’s food aid system carries out need assessments only twice a year, which end up being several months out of date. It added that corruption and political distractions, including a new constitution, reduced the national capacity to respond, although it said the reaction of the Kenyan public to the crisis was “substantial.” — The situation was much worse in southern and central Somalia, where conflict and militancy prevented traditional drought responses and reduced the ability of aid groups to help. One Kenyan economist said it would have been difficult to prevent the famine in south-central Somalia, which is mostly controlled by militants from al-Shabab, an insurgent group that has greatly limited what aid agencies can do in the region. “I don’t think the solution to famine is just sending money in good time,” said economist James Shikwati. “It also needs policy changes. Look at Somalia. (Even) if you have all the money in your pocket and all the grain in your store, unless al-Shabab allows you to access their areas, then people there are still going to starve.” The report said many donors wanted to first see proof that there was a humanitarian catastrophe, and that caused a funding shortfall that delayed a large-scale response to the crisis by about six months. Governments, donors, aid groups and the U.N. need to change their approach to such disasters to help a larger number of people during the next hunger crisis, the report said. Ethiopia was able to minimize the effects of the drought because of the promotion of disaster risk

management policy and practice, the report said. “This contrasts with Somalia, where such work has been largely absent, due to access restrictions, a complex environment and the unwillingness of donors to invest,” it said. Now, there are clear signs of an impending hunger crisis in West Africa, said Justin Forsyth, head of Save the Children. The report said a food crisis in the West African region known as the Sahel is being driven by drought and high food prices. The report says agencies should put into practice there what has been learned in the Somalia crisis. A recent Save the Children assessment in Niger shows families in the worst-hit areas are already struggling with around one-third less food, money and fuel than is necessary to survive. Besides Niger, the other countries at risk are Mauritania, Burkina Faso, Mali and Chad, said Alun McDonald, regional spokesman for Oxfam. Friday will mark six months since the U.N. declared famine in Somalia. “The earlier you respond, the more you get for your money,” McDonald said. Trucking just over a gallon (5 liters) of water per day per person to 80,000 people in Ethiopia costs more than $3 million for five months, the report said, compared with $900,000 to prepare water sources in the same area for an oncoming drought. “We’ve done a lot of water trucking. It’s the last resort,” McDonald said. “It’s a very expensive and inefficient way of delivering water.” “It’s much more cost-effective to invest early on” in things like dams, reservoirs, and boreholes, he said. The report also said it costs three times as much to restock a herd in northern Kenya than to keep it alive through supplementary feeding.

Wikipedia began a 24-hour blackout of its English-language articles, joining other sites in a protest of pending U.S. legislation aimed at shutting down sites that share pirated material.

WASHINGTON — Online piracy costs U.S. copyright owners and producers billions of dollars every year, but legislation in Congress to block foreign Internet thieves and swindlers has met strong resistance from high-tech companies, spotlighted by Wikipedia’s protest blackout on Wednesday, warning of a threat to Internet freedom. House and Senate bills that once seemed to be on a path toward approval now face a rockier future. House Speaker John Boehner on Wednesday said it was “pretty clear to many of us that there is a lack of consensus at this point.” Amid the high-tech campaign against the bills, several lawmakers came out in opposition. At least three Senate Republicans who had previously cosponsored the Senate bill — Orrin Hatch of Utah, Roy Blunt of Missouri and John Boozman of Arkansas — issued statements Wednesday saying they were withdrawing their support. Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin of Maryland last week said that, after listening to constituent concerns, he could not vote for the Senate bill as it is currently written. On the House side, Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., issued a statement that he had heard from many of his constituents and come to the conclusion that the House and Senate bills “create unacceptable threats to free speech and free access to the Internet.”

N ude St Regardless of residency status, students enrolling in Correspondence Courses will be charged at the New Mexico Resident Undergraduate rate. This change in tuition rate is effective beginning with the Spring 2012 Semester.

Here are some of the some of the questions being raised about the bills being considered: Q. Why is legislation needed? A. There’s no argument that more needs to be done to protect artists, innovators and industries from copyright thieves and shield consumers from products sold on the Internet that are fake, faulty and unsafe. Creative America, a coalition of Hollywood studios, networks and unions, says content theft costs U.S. workers $5.5 billion a year. The pharmaceutical industry loses billions to Internet sellers of drugs that are falsely advertised and may be harmful. Q. What is Congress trying to accomplish? A. The two main bills are the Protect Intellectual Property Act, or PIPA, in the Senate, and the similar Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, in the House. There are already laws on the books to combat domestic websites trafficking in counterfeit or pirated goods, but little to counter foreign violators. The bills would allow the Justice Department, and copyright holders, to seek court orders against foreign websites accused of perpetrating or facilitating copyright infringement. While there is little the United States can do to take down those websites, the bills would bar online advertising networks and payment facilitators, such as credit card companies and PayPal, from doing business with an alleged violator. It also would forbid search engines from linking to such sites.

The original bills would have let copyright holders and Internet service providers block access to pirate websites. Critics and Internet engineers complained that would allow copyright holders to interfere in the behind-the-scenes system that seamlessly directs computer users to websites. They said that causing deliberate failures in the lookup system to prevent visits to pirate websites could more easily allow hackers to trick users into inadvertently visiting websites that could infect their computers. The White House also took issue with that approach, saying “We must avoid creating new cybersecurity risks or disrupting the underlying architecture of the Internet.” Responding to the critics, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said he is taking the blocking measure out of his bill. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., also is reworking his bill to address those cybersecurity issues. Q. What are other concerns with the bills? A. Critics say they would constrain free speech, curtail innovation and discourage new digital distribution methods. NetCoalition, a group of leading Internet and technology companies, says they could be forced to pre-screen all user comments, pictures and videos — effectively killing social media. Search engines, Internet service providers and social networks could be forced to shut down websites linked to any type of pirated content.

Junfu Han/ Daily Lobo Vanessa Valadez (right), CNM student, warms up with her teammates during practice. The team practice outdoors because they cannot afford to rent an indoor rink.

by Nicole Perez

nicole11@unm.edu A pool of yellow light shines on a group of women huddled in the corner of the outdoor basketball court. Their raw fingers plaster duct tape onto mangled roller skates and elbow pads. It’s an evening cold enough to see breath, as the women tie up the last frayed laces on their skates. These are the members of the Duke City Derby league, a community of women who love roller derby so much they not only fund the league out of their own pockets, but also set up their own court for bouts and practice outdoors in January. The game objective is simple: assist one of your team members, the jammer, in maneuvering around the oval track as many times as possible. Players accomplish this by shouldershoving, jamming their rear ends into other players, and barreling into other players at full speed – almost everything goes except for fist-fighting. UNM student Kaitlin “Led Zyppin” Leddy, a jammer for the Ho-Bots (one of three Albuquerque teams), said the sport is action-packed and physical. “Hockey and pinball are the two sports that make up this one, and the jammer is the pinball,” Leddy said. “It’s pure speed and you’re hitting people so hard. Girls are yelling and you’re wearing silly outfits. It’s fastpaced and angry.”

Junfu Han / Daily Lobo UNM Alumnus Sierra Netz (far left), UNM alumni, and Kelly Ard (far right) try to block Anna Hoskins,(middle) during a practice Tuesday night by the Heights Community Center. In roller derby, 10 players try to jostle and block each other to get one player through the pack.

Shantel Riley, UNM student, leans her body down for a fast recovery during a ‘suicide’ training. Roller derby requires intense physical conditioning because players skate for periods of 30 minutes with 30-second breaks every two minutes. Junfu Han Daily Lobo

Leddy, a double major in chemistry and biology, said other sports don’t give players the opportunity to truly let out their aggression the way roller derby does. “You can be ferocious in this sport, and you won’t stand out at all,” she said. “Nobody’s going to turn their head if you scream or nail someone in the face.” Even at a routine practice, the women grunt as they propel themselves forward, backward and sideways, their multicolored skating wheels gliding over free-throw and three-point lines at the Heights Community Center just south of campus. The leader, UNM student Shantel Riley, shouts “drunken sailor”, and the players perform a wobbly footwork pattern, moving in and out of the sparse patches of light. Ho-Bot blocker Sierra “Jean Splice”

Netz said the Duke City Derby league of about 50 players is both diverse and closely connected. “I would say that our whole league is about 30 percent lesbians, but we have people from all walks of life – mothers, teachers, scientists, artists,” she said. “We have a variety of body types, too. A lot of our players are these big girls that play blockers, and they’ll just knock you on your ass.” Leddy said the most difficult part of the sport is learning to roller skate, and the rest is fairly intuitive. But she said at first it can be challenging for players to adjust to all of the physical contact involved. “When you block someone, you back your booty up into them really sexually … you’re rubbing your junk on somebody else,” she said. “It’s hard to understand that sometimes: that a girl is going to be rubbing her sweaty crotch all over you.” Practice is relaxed and friendly, as players routinely skate out of the action to tighten the trucks on their skates with a multi-sized “elephant” wrench, or re-apply some duct tape. Leddy said while roller derby is a ferocious sport, women from all teams in Albuquerque generally maintain friendly relationships off the court. “Sometimes you’ll just wipe someone out, and then you get up, and

you’re like ‘Oh sh**, we carpool. I’m sorry,’” she said. “‘We’re really close friends and I just broke your leg.’ But it’s more of an afterthought.” Riley said league members pay for their own equipment, membership dues and travel expenses if they join a travel team. They practice outdoors year-round because they can’t afford an indoor practice space, she said, and they receive minor funding from their bouts held in the Convention Center. Riley said players have to prepare the Convention Center court for bouts by marking the lines with tape, as well as mopping the floor with a sugarand-water mixture to give it more grip. Crowds have reached up to 1100 people, from kids to senior citizens, and Riley said players typically wear fishnets and booty shorts to bouts. Leddy said she once saw one player pull down another player’s pants on accident. The pants-less player mooned the crowd for at least a quarter of a turn as she tried to complete the block with her pants down. No matter what, Leddy said it’s always entertaining. “I’ve seen old people in sweater vests come before, and I’m like, ‘Who told you about this?’” Leddy said. “I don’t know what they see when they come to a game, but I’m sure it’s a melting pot of Albuquerque’s extremes.”

New Mexico Daily Lobo

BALTIMORE (AP) — Is the “Poe Toaster” nevermore? For decades, a mysterious man left three roses and cognac on Edgar Allan Poe’s grave to mark the anniversary of the writer’s birth. But after the visitor, dubbed the “Poe Toaster,” failed to appear two years in a row, Poe fans are planning one last vigil this week before calling an end to the annual Jan. 19 tradition. The Gothic master’s tales of the macabre still connect with readers more than 200 years after his birth, including his most famous poem, “The Raven,” and short stories including “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Pit and the Pendulum.” Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” is considered the first modern detective story. Poe House and Museum Curator

Jeff Jerome, who has kept watch for the “Poe Toaster” since 1978, believes that it’s Poe’s suffering and the lifelong dream to be a poet that people still relate to. While the midnight tribute has a touch of the theatrical, it’s also an honest expression, Jerome said. Wherever Jerome travels in the world, he said when people find out what he does, they want to know whether the “Poe Toaster” is real. “It’s such an innocent, such a touching tribute,” Jerome said. “People are so captivated by the warmth of the message.” Poe lived for a time in Baltimore, but died in 1849 at age 40 after collapsing in a tavern during a visit to the city years later. He was buried in Westminster Burial Ground, then moved to a more prominent spot in the front of the cemetery in 1875. The rose and cognac tributes of an anonymous man dressed in black with a white scarf

and wide-brimmed hat are thought to date back to at least the 1940s. The vigil inside the former church is closed to the public, but over the years, a crowd has gathered outside the gates to watch. After the “Poe Toaster” failed to show in 2010, last year’s vigil attracted impostors, including a man who arrived in a limo, as well as a few women. The visitor has left notes on occasion. A few indicated that the tradition passed to a new generation after the death of the original “Poe Toaster” in the late 1990s, and some even mentioned politics and sports. Those notes make it even more frustrating for Jerome that there has been no message explaining the absence. “I would have thought they would leave a note for me saying it was over,” he said. “That does annoy me a little bit, but they are under no obligation to.”

2010 Miss USA faces DWI charge Ed White

Associated Press

HIGHLAND PARK, Mich. (AP) — Former Miss USA Rima Fakih on Wednesday made an initial appearance in a Detroit-area courtroom in a drunken-driving case that lawyers said could be resolved with a plea deal. Judge Brigette Officer set a March 14 trial date, but lawyers on both sides said they planned to talk in an attempt to end the case sooner. Fakih, 26, declined to answer reporters’ questions after the hearing, which was held in the Detroit enclave of Highland Park. “I apologize. My lawyer doesn’t want me to talk.”

Defense lawyer W. Otis Culpepper said he will prepare for a trial, but knows a plea bargain is possible. He said he anticipates that a “proper conclusion” will be reached. “Of course she’s remorseful,” Culpepper said. “She’s a model for young women. ... She’s a woman of substantial character.” Before the hearing, assistant city attorney Mohammed A. Nasser told the Associated Press that he hadn’t spoken to Culpepper about how they might resolve the case, and he told the judge a plea deal hadn’t been offered. Police said Fakih was driving 60 mph and weaving in and out of traffic without signaling when they pulled her over Dec. 3.

Officers reported finding an open bottle of champagne on the floor behind the driver’s seat of her 2011 Jaguar. Fakih denied that she had been drinking, but one breath test put her blood alcohol content to be 0.20 percent, and another put it slightly lower, but still above the state’s legal limit of 0.08 percent. Fakih was born in Lebanon and moved to the U.S. in 1993 with her family. After settling in New York, the family moved to Michigan in 2003. She won the Miss USA Pageant in May 2010, and her reign ended last June. She was the first Miss Michigan to win the title since 1993 and the first ArabAmerican winner ever.

Architecture or engineering at Merrick & Company Mid-May through mid-August Unpaid Requirements: Interested applicants must be U.S. citizens, entering their third year or higher of professional studies, and pursuing a degree in architecture. Your compulsive need for precise, clean lines and eye for design may chafe your less-than-perfectionist friends, but may win you this internship. Here, they’ll set you to work with designing and proposing projects. If you’re endeared to measurements over aesthetics, they also have internships in civil, electrical, mechanical, chemical, process and structural engineering. The fiercest competitors will have skills such as knowledge of AutoCAD, Photoshop, SketchUp, Revit or Bentley. Preferred candidates will have proof of their work ethic by holding a 3.0 GPA or higher. For more information and to apply, visit Merrick.com and click on the “Career Center” tab, select the “day in the life” listing from the drop-down menu, and select the “Interning at Merrick” link.

If you think you’re made of tougher stuff than most, but have managed to balance that with a sense of care and responsibility for others, try spending your time with those who have done time — behind bars. Interns here help people make the transition back into society from incarceration. Their methods include a variety of therapeutic services, interventions, group therapy sessions and substance abuse and recovery education. It is a live-in position, so be prepared to work closely with two evening staff members to mentor and supervise residents, as well as assist with house management.

to help organize “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer,” a fundraising event that raises up to $1 million. Anyone interested in public relations or working with people, might enjoy the job. The position entails coordinating volunteers, planning staff meetings, managing the website and securing donations, handling marketing, advertising and sending press releases. For more information and to apply, visit indeed.com, enter “planning intern” into the “what” search bar, and enter Albuquerque, N.M. into the “where” search bar. The position is listed as “Nonprofit Program Support Intern.” Visual Merchandising at Urban Outfitters Spring or summer semester Application Deadline: nothing specific, but the sooner the better Unpaid, college credit Requirements: Must be enrolled in an accredited college at the time of the internship. Experience in fine arts, applied arts, design or architecture is preferred. It won’t save you from the dregs of the artist occupation for now, but at least you can get college credit. Urban Outfitters interns are responsible for the store’s visual display, including store windows, platforms, shelving and jewelry cases. In others words, there is a method to the creepy mannequins that haunt the storefronts. Familiarity with installations, various textiles, power tools, fashion trends and a rudimentary knowledge of construction are a plus. According to the website, applicants should stop by the store from 10 a.m. - 3p.m. and talk to the store manager in person. It is located at 3225 Central Ave. N.E.

CAMPUS EVENTS

If the holidays, followed by your tuition and book expenses, have left you on a budget tighter than last season’s skinny jeans, consider a doit-yourself project to freshen your wardrobe. The beauty of many DIYs is that they use objects you may have lying around. This project, which remodels a scarf and a few beads into a “scarf necklace,” is inspired by a similar accessory from Anthropologie that retails for almost $200. You don’t need any special skills, and it shouldn’t take more than an hour to complete. -Supplies: -A scarf, any length -Beads, as many or as few as you want -Multi-ply thread (i.e. beading thread, silk cord or embroidery thread) -Scissors -A sewing needle

Step 1:

Decide the order in which you want your beads strung, and how long you want the beaded portion of your necklace to be. Do yourself a favor and lay the beads out in order, so you don’t accidentally string them incorrectly and have to start over. Cut a generous piece of thread, approximately one-third longer than the length of the beaded portion of your necklace. Leaving several inches free of beads on the end of the thread, tie a knot large enough to stop the first bead. String the beads. If you want the necklace to be extra sturdy, tie a knot between each bead or every other bead. This prevents all the beads from being lost if the necklace were to break. Once all the beads are on, tie a final knot as close to the final bead as possible. Leave four free inches of thread at the end.

inch from the end of your scarf, begin sewing a straight line through both layers of the scarf. These don’t have to be tight stitches, but make sure you are sewing through both layers. When you get to the midpoint, lay the beads down on the scarf, so the anchor bead is “inside” the line and the first bead is outside. The bead strand should be extending out, beyond the scarf. In other words, the thread line should form a divider between the anchor bead and the first bead. Sew over the beaded strand, so it is loosely attached to the scarf. Finish sewing the line to the end of the scarf. Hold the thread and needle with one hand, and with the other, gently pull the scarf toward the knot, so it gathers around the anchor bead. Hold the gathered scarf and anchor bead, and with the needle and thread sew around the bead several times between the anchor and first bead, making sure to sew through several layers of the scarf. This is the cinch that keeps the beads and the scarf attached, so make sure to sew all the way around at least twice. Tie it off and carefully snip any loose threads. The anchor bead should be secure and hidden in the folds of the scarf. Repeat this on the other side. You’re done! Wear your new necklace with style and pride. Here are a few ideas for modifications: If you have a very long scarf, you could cut it in half after you finish, sew off the ends to prevent fraying, and use the loose ends to tie a bow as the closure. Try using ribbon instead of a scarf or use several strands of beads for the beaded portion. The possibilities are only limited by your creativity.

Step 2:

On the free thread at the end of the beaded portion, string another bead. This is the anchor bead. Use a large bead if you have one; keep in mind that it will be hidden in the folds of the scarf. Tie another secure knot at the end of the anchor bead. One way to do this is to loop the thread through the bead hole twice and tie it off. Do this on both sides.

Step 3:

This is the final step and trickiest part, but you can do it! Thread your needle. Fold your scarf in half lengthwise (hot dog style). One
