Those who seek pregnancy counseling might do a double-take as they drive up to Albuquerque’s pregnancy centers. In two locations, religiously-affiliated pregnancy centers are adjacent to Planned Parenthood, which provides abortion counseling and services. Neither of the religiously-affiliated clinics offer contraceptives or abortion referrals.

Policymakers Not all centers created equal to decide Regent Koch’s fate at UNM

by Tricia Remark and Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo

About six months ago, a female UNM student walked into Care Net Pregnancy Center on Candelaria Avenue expecting to get a pregnancy test.

“The lady who was giving me the pamphlets and information and all this stuff, she started asking me really personal questions about my relationship with my

partner at the time,” said the student, who preferred to remain anonymous. “Then she started asking me, ‘Well, what are you going to do if you’re pregnant?’ And I said, ‘Have an abortion.’ She told me basically that God was going to send me to hell for doing that.”

Care Net is one of two “religious crisis pregnancy centers” in Albuquerque which are right next to Planned Parenthood facilities on San Mateo Boulevard and Candelaria Avenue.

Holy Innocents Center for Life is a Catholic ministry that offers free ultrasounds adjacent to the Planned Parenthood on San Mateo Boulevard as part of what they call “Project Defending Life.” Care Net is a non-denominational religious center that offers free pregnancy tests next to Planned Parenthood on Candelaria Road. However, Care Net has no exterior signs indicating its

LEGISLATIVE SESSION

by Leah Valencia Daily Lobo

On top of wrestling with the budgetary deficit during the legislative session, New Mexico policymakers need to find time to confirm Regent Jamie Koch for another six-year term.

Staff Council President Elisha Allen said Koch’s reappointment is probable.

“I have had some conversations with Linda Lopez, who chairs that committee, and it seems that will likely be the outcome,” Allen said.

However, Faculty Senate President Doug Fields said he is still waiting for Koch to address the concerns the faculty outlined in their February general meeting, where they voted no confidence in Koch, UNM

On Wednesday, Jan.13, Iraq war veteran Kenneth Ellis was killed in a confrontation with Albuquerque police officers. He waved a gun in the direction of police officers who surrounded him in a Northeast Heights Parking lot. Then, an APD officer shot and killed him.

Ellis was suffering from mental problems related to his experience in Iraq, Ellis’ parents told the Albuquerque Journal on Jan. 13.

Zach Mutchler, president of the Student Veterans of UNM, said there is an unfortunate lack of care available to veterans in this country, but his organization and others in the state work to find help for people in need of physical or mental health care.

Mutchler said that Military Order of the Purple Heart is one of the premier organizations working in the state to promote

mental health among veterans.

The MOPH is on campus today meeting with the UNM administration to discuss UNM’s response to physically and mentally wounded veterans.

“The unique aspect of the Military Order of the Purple Heart is that every single active member of that organization was combat wounded, so they’re all combat veterans, every single one of them,” he said. “A lot of guys and girls don’t want to talk to people that don’t have shared combat experience. They don’t want to talk to a psychologist that’s been reading a book for four years. They want to talk to someone who was out in combat, who knows exactly what experiences they’re going through,” he said, Mutchler said the MOPH is the first organization he refers veterans to if they need psychological help. He said they offer mentoring programs for veterans in need of emotional or psychological support.

“Unofficially, the student veterans of UNM offer what we call ‘mentorship.’ And, you know, of course we’re not trained in any manner. Basically, we’re more like an ear or shoulder to lean on,” he said. “We have common experiences with veterans, and a lot

Mutchler said the University doesn’t have any programs that offer trained medical professionals’ services specifically for veterans.

“UNM doesn’t actually have a formalized veteran-specific type program, as far as mental health counseling goes,” he said. “(But) it seems that they’re trying to get the counselors that are at UNM in Student Health and Counseling more up-to-date on PTSD and things of that nature, so they’ll be a little bit more aware of veteran problems.”

Harry Linneman, director of Counseling and Therapy Services at UNM, said if a student has or knows somebody who has psychological problems, he/she can seek help at the student health center, unless the person is in

immediate danger.

“If you believe somebody has a gun in their hand, and they’re in their apartment and they’re going to kill themselves right now — don’t call me first — call the police first, then call me,” he said.

Mutchler said lack of resources in the medical system is a problem that may have contributed to Ellis’ death.

“One of the sad realities is that the helping system is overstretched right now. It isn’t always available immediately to everybody it needs to be available to,” he said. “We’re applying every year for increased funds to help improve campus safety by having more staff available, more outreach available. We are trying, in particular, to improve the connections to the VA treatment services for those students who are involved or eligible but are not using that service,” he said.

The VA hospital cannot always provide help to everyone who needs it, Mutchler said.

“It’d be nice if the government would look into ways to expand the VA coverage to where veterans could go to private practitioners and get the help they need, instead of having to go through all the red tape that they usually end up going through,” he said.

From the web In Thursday’s issue of the Daily Lobo, Hunter Riley wrote the weekly column, “Doing it in the Duke City,” about safe anal sex.

Readers at DailyLobo.com responded: by ‘sick-of-it’ Posted Thursday “And this is called ‘journalism?’ Information that should be reserved for medical journals is posted as everyday banter for those who just can’t get enough sex. The Daily Lobo is not a newspaper, it’s a sex tabloid. You posted this in ‘culture’ as if this is just as much a part of our everyday lives as a cup of coffee. It obviously is for you, Mr. Riley, especially when you didn’t keep this article informational, but chose to immerse your ‘take on it.’” by ‘For the Miss’ Posted Thursday “I totally disagree with ‘sick-of-it.’

What, exactly, are you sick of? That the Daily Lobo is ahead of the curve at representing hot topics and sexuality and sex ed. information in our paper? Ms. Riley (yes, Ms.) did a great report here when a nationally known and respected sex educator came to town.

Sounds like accurate, timely and important information. Just because the topic isn’t for YOU doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be printed.” by ‘Carter Daniels’ Posted Thursday “Thanks for reminding me why I should have went out of state. This is an absolutely ridiculous excuse of an article. Did you guys need to fill space? I surely hope that was the only reason this was published. I can’t believe something this retarded is in the Daily Lobo. Thanks for reassuring my beliefs that the Daily Lobo is only good for one thing — something to wipe my ass with.” by ‘Lobonious Monk’ Posted Thursday “After graduating from the distinguished University of New Mexico with a degree in C&J, this article is simply poor writing, poor journalism, but great subject matter. I don’t disagree with covering such progressive topics like ‘anal sex’ but to use words like ‘bumbum’ and ‘poop’ seems to cheapen what could have been a well written piece. Instead this article was as crappy as the ‘poop’ coming out of Hunter Riley’s ‘bum-bum’.” by ‘A nursing student’ Posted Thursday “It is okay if he wants to discuss any subject he wants to. We are supposed to be intelligent adults at college. Maybe some students will save themselves a trip to UNMH, and not miss class with an injured anus because of this article. Thanks Hunter. By the way, Carter Daniels, if you do wipe with the Daily Lobo, make sure that you soften it first, or you may injure your anus.” by ‘Mrs. Badcrumple’ Posted Thursday “This article is just giving out information. Something perhaps, that people might not look up on their own volition. Regardless, it’s good information to have. Stop being such a bunch of prudes. At least your school doesn’t publish articles slamming ‘Souped up Hondas’ (yes, this was a real article at my college). At least this article is making an attempt to help people safely practice something that they may want to try.

A good mark of journalism is the willingness to diversify. Lose that, and you pigeonhole yourself into a subset of topics that a select few people decide are worthy of publishing. You guys should be proud that your school allows such a free range of opinion and information distribution.”

Column

High tuition rates dampen future success

by Donald Gutierrez

Daily Lobo guest columnist

Many college students are deeply in debt today. An average debt recently quoted on the news mentioned a figure of $22,000, and the debts of students going into preprofessional graduate programs are far higher, amounting to six-digit sums. Usurious loan company interest rates have certainly been part of the problem.

A larger and more basic part of the student-debt crisis, however, is current college tuition rates. When I attended the University of California, Berkeley in 1950, California colleges were virtually free. Further, course books were relatively inexpensive. Now, even at a state university like Berkeley, the cost per year for an undergraduate, according to the UC Office of the Registrar, is almost $5,000 a semester. For a non-resident, it’s over $16,000 — all this without counting books and living expenses. Despite coming from a poor family, I was able to attend college because in the 50s it cost almost nothing to attend.

State school fees such as Berkeley’s, if less than those of private colleges, still constitute debts that can imprison students financially for many years. A quick check of representative public universities like the University of New Mexico and the University of Michigan reveal similarly high college fees.

Higher education should be free to all young people who show an aptitude for and aspiration to advanced learning and professional or technical training. Society needs doctors, nurses, teachers, scholars, engineers, lawyers, architects, philosophers, accountants, scientists, artists, writers and other experts, but if high-debt hurdles persist, the consequences are obvious. Only those youths from wealthy or well-off families will be able to afford college, especially the quality colleges that allow students to secure significant jobs. The results are not only a class-based educational structure but

the hardening of a class-structured society.

In a society as wealthy as ours, what’s happening to the money needed for something as crucial to a society’s future and well-being as financially democratic colleges? Let’s consider the kind of money available in America’s financial institutions and the military sector. Extremely wealthy investors contribute billions of dollars to hedge fund managers who transmit this money electronically around the world in seconds — huge sums of money free of taxation — to make more money for those investors. The issue implicit here is that the availability of wealth has been structured so that vast sums of money badly needed by social and public services have for generations not only been privatized but — especially recently — manipulated for privileged peoples’ gain.

Enormous sums of money that should be accessible for America’s infrastructure, schools, medical health programs and cultural facilities have been pouring into corporate, bank and private-investor coffers.

The most egregious manifestation of this robbery of the public is of course the recent financial meltdown. Individuals and financial institutions have profited extraordinarily from deregulated financial dealings and are now repeating the crisis with public money used to restore their former financial status quo and CEO bonuses.

One institution using massive amounts of public money with very little critical media attention or evaluation is the Pentagon. A recent Mother Jones ongoing report entitled “Shock and Audit: The Hidden Defense Budget” (June 2009) indicates that “cost overruns for major weapons programs now total $296 billion.” The report further observes that the 2009 budget President Obama requested is $534 billion and that the 2010 Pentagon budget will be $707 billion. Those two sums would, combined, amount to $1.24 trillion — for merely two years. This figure would — one hopes — include the immense cost of some 725

Opinions expressed solely reflect the views of the author and do not reflect the opinions of Lobo employees.

American military posts spread all around the world.

As if all this isn’t enough public money seized for the military, the Pentagon has a $300 billion 20-year-plus program to build F-35 Joint Strike Fighter warplanes. Finally, as if to fantasize about more ways to spend American taxpayers’ money, the Pentagon harbors a high-placed senior officer named Michele A. Flournoy whose job is to conceive and plan for new wars. This involves, according to The New York Times (July 4, 2009) “preparing for conflicts that could tie up American forces for decades ... ” Massive sums of money are going through hedge funds. Enormous bank and corporation-taxable money is slipping into off-shore tax havens. Money supporting our two current unnecessary and illegal wars projected by Nobel-economist Joseph Stiglitz to amount to $3 trillion over a decade — all of this involves sums of money, just a moderate portion of which would allow all young people qualifying in merit to go to college free. According to journalist Adolph Reed Jr., “education is a social right, like health care ... the cost of free college education is laughably low … about $80 billion to make all public institutions free … ” (Nation, June 29, 2009). That $80 billion is less than 10 percent of the current Pentagon budget.

The University of California and other state universities throughout the country in the 1950s embodied educational democracy by making merit rather than wealth the means of access to higher education.

We are now betraying that ideal and reality through a rigidly class-oriented structure of college costs and access. The United States will never be an open society of opportunity for all if education is not once again democratized as it was after World War II. Money unjustly arrogated by America’s financial and military sectors must be returned to essential civilian needs, among which higher education is crucial.

“There have been some overtures made, but the substance of the issue remains the same,” Fields said.

Koch said he didn’t expect to be asked about the February vote during his hearing, but that doesn’t mean they’ll make it easy for him.

“I look forward to going before the Senate. I know most of them individually, and I’ll get a fair hearing,” he said. “They’ll ask me a lot of questions and I’ll be glad to answer them.”

In an interview, Koch would not say what progress he’s made on the Faculty’s concerns or how he has addressed them almost a year after the no-confidence vote.

“I’m not upset with the faculty in any way whatsoever,” he said.

“I’m not upset with their no-confidence vote. I’m not that kind of person, and I will just answer (the Rules Committee’s) questions fitfully and honestly.”

Koch stepped down as president of the Board of Regents in March 2009, which is around the same time he was scheduled to be reappointed. Soon after, State Senator Linda Lopez, chairwoman of the Senate Rules Committee, postponed his reappointment.

This session, the Rules Committee will either report the nomination

for a full Senate vote or the nomination will die in committee.

GPSA President Lissa Knudsen said Koch’s reappointment is cause for concern, because his past decision-making warranted the votes of no confidence that he received.

“One of my concerns about Regent Koch is that it appears he doesn’t have the core mission of the University — which is education — at the forefront of his priorities,” she said.

Knudsen said the concerns of the GPSA are not necessarily only about the reappointment of Koch but the entire governance structure of the University.

“I do not think that any one person is fully responsible for the situation that we are in,” she said. “I would like to see more receptivity from all of the Regents, including Regent Koch, in regard to our concerns.”

Allen said regardless of the reappointment of Koch, UNM staff expects greater collaboration and communication from the administration.

“To me the ultimate outcome is not about who serves in that position, but how they interact with the University,” he said. “I think that faculty and staff expectations are that we do have a shared governance that is respectful of the University community.”

Knudsen said she has seen efforts from the Regents to mend the relationship with faculty and staff.

“I think the language has definitely changed,” she said. “But I am still not convinced that the actual decision-making process has been transformed.”

Allen said Koch’s statements in the December meeting of the Finance and Facilities committee of the Board of Regents showed that he was making an effort to address the ongoing controversies.

“It’s too early to tell what action Koch will take, but he has made public statements that he plans to take action,” he said.

Knudsen said she sees the communication between the administration and the UNM community moving in the right direction and is hopeful for a resolution.

“I am absolutely confident that the situation is going to get better,” she said. “I think that there may be some bumps in the road before we get there, but I think it is going to happen.”

The Faculty Committee on Governance plans to attend Koch’s confirmation hearing with the intention of communicating their continued concerns to legislators.

Earthquake in Haiti mirrors older disaster

by Grant Peck

The Associated Press BANGKOK — The effort to help Haiti recover from its devastating earthquake can draw on lessons learned in other large-scale tragedies, particularly the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that killed at least 230,000 people across a dozen countries, rescue officials say.

The same scenes of bodies littering the ground or stacked along roadways in Haiti are flashbacks to the tsunami devastation, but Bakri Beck, who headed relief activities in Indonesia’s devastated Banda Aceh province — where 167,000 people died from the magnitude-9 earthquake and tsunami — said saving survivors must remain the priority.

“One of the things that is clearly happening this time around in Haiti ... is a focus on trying to apply lessons from previous emergencies,” said Ben Ramalingam, head of Research and Development for London-based Active Learning Network for Accountability and Performance in Humanitarian Action. “This time around, there is much more of a focus on what could be done

better, what could be learned at the outset.”

Connecticut-based AmeriCares provided more than $45 million in aid for tsunami survivors, and is now in Haiti distributing more than $6 million worth of medical aid.

“Certainly, we learned a lot of lessons from the tsunami,” said Christoph Gorder, the group’s vice president of Emergency Response. “Our response team is better organized and trained. Our capacity to manage a very large number of moving pieces is better. This means we are quicker to respond to offers of help — everything from supplies to planes — and requests for assistance.

“I feel like we are handling a similar volume of activity as the tsunami, but with much more efficiency,” he said.

Ramalingam said a key lesson is that aid agencies need to spend as much time planning as they do carrying out operations.

“There were some notable innovations in the tsunami response, which were scaled up in ways not seen before, for example, the use of cash as an alternative to food saw its widest application,” he said.

religious affiliation.

Martha Edmands, director of Public and Governmental Affairs for Planned Parenthood of New Mexico, said she is worried that women may be confused by the signs offering free pregnancy tests and help for pregnant women, because they are close to Planned Parenthood.

“We’ve been in the Candelaria location for a long time before Care Net moved in,” she said. “They put up their sign that says ‘free pregnancy testing,’ and sometimes people think they are coming to us and they walk in there.”

Mary LeQuieu, Albuquerque area executive director of Care Net, said setting up shop next to Planned Parenthood four years ago was a coincidence. “(The realtor) insisted that we look at this location,” LeQuieu said.

“It was best priced and had the best arrangement and was in the area we wanted to be in, so that was purely incidental.”

Father Stephen Imbarrato, Project Defending Life founder and president, said he picked the location next to Planned Parenthood on purpose because of the abortion services offered there. He said members of Project Defending Life stand outside Planned Parenthood to talk to the girls going in and offer alternative services to them.

“When they’re open, we’re there,” he said. “We have people praying in the back and the front. We don’t scream, we don’t yell. We don’t say, you know, ‘Don’t kill your baby,’ or all this other stuff. We minister.”

Edmands said Planned Parenthood is nervous that some religious centers are providing girls with inaccurate information.

“Girls should realize who they are talking to and that there is a possibility that they might be getting biased information,” she said.

“They often give information that is going to frighten or scare or try and change someone’s mind about what their options are.”

The female UNM student said she left Care Net feeling awkward and pressured. She said she went to Care Net about six months ago for a pregnancy test because the sign said they were free, and she was misled by their location.

“I thought they were a Planned Parenthood,” she said.

The female UNM student said a woman working there started giving her pamphlets discouraging abortion and delayed giving her the results of the pregnancy test.

Project Defending Life and Care Net do not encourage any contraceptive use, according to

DL

representatives at both centers.

Edmands said she is worried about religious centers that advocate for only abstinence because it isn’t realistic.

“Not only are they anti-abortion, but some of them are anti-contraception, and it’s just not helpful,” she said. “If they are not going to refer someone who is sexually active for what kind of contraception options there are, and tell them the only option is to get married because they are sexually active — that’s scary. It sounds like a disaster in the making.

The last thing we need is a 16-yearold getting married.”

Marelenn Sandoval, who attends Project Defending Life parenting classes weekly, said the ministry has helped her husband and herself immensely.

“They offer pretty much anything,” she said. “You ask them for help and they help out in every way.

We come here for the mom class every Wednesday.”

Sandoval said Project Defending Life hosted a baby shower for her and gave her free ultrasounds throughout her pregnancy.

“For people who can’t afford to go pay for an ultrasound — it’s like $200 — they give them to you for free,” she said. “So if you think the baby turned the wrong way you can check, or if you just want to see the baby they offer it any time you can.”

Sandoval, 19, was married last month. She said she is Catholic and never thought about abortion.

Project Defending Life also offers financial, emotional and spiritual support as well as free ultrasounds, Imbarrato said.

“It’s proven that 90 percent of moms who see their babies in the womb choose to not have an abortion,” he said.

Care Net offers professional counseling, birthing classes, a mentoring program, parenting classes, and post-abortion counseling – all for free, LeQuieu said.

She said the parenting classes are called “Earn While You Learn,” and allow women to earn points and buy pregnancy goods.

“As they take classes, they get points,” LeQuieu said. “They can then use (them) to purchase baby clothes, maternity clothes, diapers, baby formula, toys — that kind of thing. The incentive is that they get to use the fake money to purchase these items which are all donated by the community.”

Today is the 37th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision, which allows women to legally have abortions.

3200 Central Ave. • Albuquerque, NM Junfu Han / Daily Lobo Lee Emanuel takes the lead over a pack of competitors in this file photo. Emanuel wants to improve on his light-speed mile time in the Lobos’ Cherry and Silver Invitational on Saturday.

Runner hopes to break record mile time

by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

This is about as close as it comes to track and field utopia.

The Lobos’ Hermes, Lee Emanuel, and the Albuquerque Convention Center are a blissful — and blistering — match made in heaven.

They’ll see each other five times this spring, the first coming on Saturday, during the UNM track and field team’s Cherry and Silver Invitational.

Emanuel, who ran a mind-boggling, sub-four-minute mile at Notre Dame (3:57.91) and concluded the 2009 season by winning the national championship in the indoor mile run with a time of 4:00.65, said he wants to improve on those times this year, however inconceivable

A H L

that seems.

Emanuel, who will attempt to beat the current record set in 1974

by North Carolina’s Tony Waldrop (3:55), said he’ll have his best chance to do that at the Convention Center. “It is a fast track,� Emanuel said. “We worked out on it on Tuesday.

It’s soft, it gives you a nice bounce back. The banks are nice, not too high. I enjoyed racing on it. Hopefully I should run pretty fast this weekend.�

But improving on a sub-fourminute mile? “Obviously, I want to equal what I did last year,� he said. “If I come in second at nationals, I won’t be too pleased. I’m definitely hoping to get faster. Last year, I ran 3:57, which was good at the time, but I feel that

I’m in better shape now, and I’m a better runner. I’d like to think that in my first race I’ll go out and hopefully run it a little bit quicker.�

How much more rapidly can he whiz across the track? “I’d love to run something around 3:54, 3:55,� he said. “The collegiate record’s 3:55, so if I could run around 3:54 that’d be quite an achievement. Well, we’ll see. I don’t think I’m too far away. I’m pretty confident at the minute. My 1500meter time equates to about 3:54 in the mile. I may be able to get that fast.�

Emanuel’s coach, Joe Franklin, doesn’t have as lofty expectations, mainly because Franklin can’t possibly put as much pressure on

Sophomore slump not in key player’s vocabulary

by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo

After talk of a shooting slump over the last few weeks, the Lobos shot 47.1 percent from the field, and an even better 48.1 from behind the arc, hitting 13-of-27.

The UNM men’s basketball team returns home after a convincing 73-50 win over Air Force.

“We are obviously much better, like most teams in the country, when you get transition points,” said head coach Steve Alford.

“That helps in everything else. I though we did really good in the second half with our half-court offense. We took good shots. Your offense always looks a little bit better when you’re making shots. It’s been a long time since we made 13 3s.”

Though the win was expected for the Lobos, the conductor of the offense was surprising. Two of UNM’s leading scorers, Roman Martinez and Darington Hobson, contributed only seven points on 3-of-9 from the field. That left Phillip McDonald, who averages 11.1 points per game, to put up 25 points, hitting 7-of-10 behind the

“It has been a long time since Phillip McDonald has gotten 25 points,” Alford said. “He hasn’t had a game like that since New Mexico State.”

Heading deeper into conference play, where the scouting improves and the defense thickens, Alford said it was encouraging to win in a different way.

“It was not one of Ro’s better games,” Alford said. “He would be the first to tell you that. Hopefully Ro and Darington can see that we won by 23 on the road and our two top scorers (didn’t) play very well.

That part is not discouraging at all. Learning to win in other ways is what this team has done all year long.”

The Lobos face a slightly better opponent Saturday.

Colorado State (11-7 overall, 2-2 MWC) sits in a three-way tie for fifth in the conference. The Rams are coming off a two-game losing streak to No. 13 BYU and UNLV.

Mile

They absorbed a 91-47 beating on the road to BYU on Jan. 16 and lost by eight to UNLV on Wednesday.

They are led by freshman guard Dorian Green, who averages 13.5 points per game. They also have three starters who average in the double digits. But the majority of the Rams’ wins have come at home. They travel to The Pit on Saturday with a 1-6 road record.

Emanuel as Emanuel imposes on himself.

“My goals and his goals are probably a little bit different,” Franklin said. “My goals are to make sure that he’s fit enough to when he gets on the starting line he has a chance to win every race — at least be in the position to win a race. Time to me is irrelevant whether you run 3:52 or 3:59. If you can be a multi-time

NCAA champion, that’d be a great feather in his cap for an already outstanding career.”

And Emanuel has added incentive to quicken his already palpitating pace. After all, he is the defending NCAA champion.

“I’m sure there is a target on my back,” Emanuel said. “If you have success, that’s going to come with it.”

NFL all-star compilation, year’s cream of the crop

by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo

Today I get a second opportunity to present my all-star NFL team, and hopefully it will be a hell of a lot better than last year’s.

Last year, I selected a sampling of players from different teams and compiled my own team of top performers from the 2009 NFL season.

So, with that said, I’m introducing the second annual edition of the All-Tomari, All-Pro Team: All-Tomari Offense Quarterback: Drew Brees I selected two quarterbacks last year: Ben Roethlisberger and Kurt Warner.

This year I am choosing only one, and it’s “Drew Orleans, La-Breesiana.”

I don’t think Drew Brees gets enough credit, and he definitely deserves it. He’s as great a quarterback as there is.

Brees has done nothing but throw touchdown passes and win games for New Orleans. He did the same in ’09. He was almost top 5 in every major passing category, and, arguably, had his best professional game this season against the New England Patriots on a zany episode of Monday Night Football.

Running backs: Chris Johnson and Thomas Jones If you paid somewhat close attention to the NFL this year, then you know what the second-year

Tennessee running back did in ’09.

Need I say more about Johnson?

Johnson is the sixth player in NFL history to rush for over 2,000 yards and set the single season yards from scrimmage with 2,509.

Jones, who was raised by a mother that worked the graveyard shift at a Virginian coal mine, has played tough-nosed. His mother’s sacrifices undoubtedly influenced how Jones’ 10-year NFL career turned out. And I have much respect for Jones’ upbringing. It’s a great story, and something a casual sports fan should look into.

The coal miner’s son had another great season, racking up 1,402 yards and 14 rushing touchdowns. Most importantly, Jones has helped the JE-T-S  JETS! JETS! JETS!  reach an unexpected showing in the NFL’s final four.

Fullback: Leonard Weaver It’s a pass-happy league now.

I’ll just take Philadelphia’s Weaver.

Yawn.

Wide Receivers: Reggie Wayne, Andre Johnson and Sidney Rice Wayne, of the Indianapolis Colts, is a low-profile player, with a tremendous amount of talent and consistency. Wayne had another great season catching passes from Peyton “Sony Bravia” Manning. He snared 100 passes for over 1,200 yards to compliment his 10 touchdown receptions.

NEW MEXICO DAILY LOBO

Football facility could be on brink of collapse Danny Robbins

The Associated Press DALLAS — A second university has learned that its indoor practice facility for football is vulnerable to the same type of winds that toppled the Dallas Cowboys’ practice building last year, according to a report obtained by The Associated Press.

An independent engineering study conducted for the University of New Mexico found that the Albuquerque school’s steel and fabric facility could be subjected to unforeseen pressure if hit by a major wind storm. The study by an Albuquerque engineering firm was completed earlier this month and obtained by the AP through a public records request.

The facility was designed and built by Summit Structures LLC of Allentown, Pa., which also

DAILY LOBO new mexico

constructed the failed Cowboys’ building. A dozen people were injured when that facility fell in a wind storm last May 2.

In September, Texas A&M was informed through a similar analysis that its Summit-designed indoor football and track facility wasn’t built to withstand the maximum winds prescribed by the building code.

The New Mexico report, prepared by Chavez-Grieves Consulting Engineers Inc., states that the 86,100-square-foot structure was designed as an enclosed building when it’s only partially so. The report says wind could flow through four louvres that are part of the ventilation system without adequate avenues for escape.

“The result will be significant internal pressure forces that were not accounted for in the original design of the building,” the firm wrote.

Despite that criticism, ChavezGrieves said it believes the New Mexico facility was better designed than the Cowboys’ building, in part because it doesn’t rely on the fabric to brace the frame.

Summit built the New Mexico facility in 2007, four years after it put up the Cowboys’ 88,000-squarefoot building.

“Several of the details that led to the collapse of the Dallas facility are not present in the UNM facility,” the report states.

University records show that an inspection of the facility conducted by Summit on May 26 found nothing out of order.

“As expected, we did not find any areas of concern with the structure,” a Summit representative wrote in the e-mail to which the inspection report was attached.

Tim Cass, the University’s senior associate athletic director, said the school has had a plan in

place since Dec. 1 requiring that the building only be used with the louvres and doors closed. The plan also calls for the building to be vacated in winds exceeding 60 mph.

Cass said the University is working with Summit to figure out a way to strengthen the building so it can be used with the ventilation system operating and under any weather conditions.

“Independent of what’s happened elsewhere, they’ve given us confidence that they want to be part of the solution,” he said of the company.

Summit’s president and CEO, Nathan Stobbe, issued a statement saying the company has been working closely with the University “to ensure that they have a safe structure.”

Texas A&M’s report, prepared by a Houston engineering firm, prompted Summit to make major additions to the frame of the

NFL

school’s 191,000-square-foot building. The university also was told by Summit that a late May inspection had found no problems.

The collapse of the Cowboys’ facility left scout Rich Behm paralyzed from the waist down and caused special teams coach Joe DeCamillas to suffer a broken vertebrae. Both have filed lawsuits accusing Summit and related companies of gross negligence.

In October, the National Institute of Standards and Technology issued a report that said the Cowboys’ facility fell in winds of 55 to 65 mph, far less than the 90 mph wind speed specified by engineering standards.

At least six Summit-designed buildings are known to have collapsed since 2002. The most recent occurred on Jan. 6 in Meadville, Pa., where a 38,400-square-foot dairy barn on the county fairgrounds fell under heavy snow.

from PAGE 9

The Houston Texans’ Johnson is another talent that doesn’t get the amount of respect he deserves.

Johnson quietly led the Texans (9-7) to their first winning season since the franchise’s inception in 2002.

Johnson caught 101 passes for 1,569 and led the NFL with 98.1 yards receiving per game.

During the ’09 season, the Vikes’ Rice looked more like Jerry Rice in his prime. Sidney Rice, even though he was catching passes from Mississippi’s Father Time, hauled in 83 passes for over 1,300 yards. But his three-touchdown performance against Dallas in the NFC Divisional Round was truly impressive.

Tight End: Jason Witten Although Witten caught only two touchdown passes this season, he is still Mr. Consistency at the position. Witten had 94 catches for 1,030 yards.

Offensive Linemen: The entire New York Jets’ offensive line No disrespect to the rest of the league — but the Jets are in the AFC title game largely because it’s one of the best rushing teams in the league.

I have to give credit to D’Brickashaw Ferguson, Alan Faneca, Nick Mangold, Brandon Moore and Damien Woody.

All-Tomari Defense Defensive Lineman: The Minnesota Vikings defensive line Same thing as the offensive line I am taking a whole group from one team — Jared Allen and his mullet, Pat Williams, Kevin Williams and Ray Edwards.

They put endless pressure on opposing quarterbacks and made it virtually impossible to run the ball.

Plus, the Vikings led the league in sacks and rank haircuts.

Outside Linebackers: the Cowboys’ DeMarcus Ware and Denver’s Elvis Dumervil Dumervil was a part of the surprisingly good Bronco defense and led the league in sacks with 17.

I love Ware. He is tough player who gives 110 percent on every down. He is tough, especially playing against the Saints on Dec. 19, one week after spraining his neck

DL

against the Chargers. He had 57 total tackles and 11 sacks.

Middle Linebacker: Patrick Willis Willis, a 49er, led the league in tackles (157) and was a part of a tough defense at times this season.

Secondary: Darrelle Revis and Charles Woodson, Darren Sharper and Brandon Meriweather Revis Island might pump some Super Bowl hype into the Big Apple.

As far as Woodson is concerned, I have always enjoyed watching him play, and this year was no exception. Woodson, who was named the Associated Press’ Defensive Player of the Year, was a utility back in the Packers’ secondary, which ranked second in defense during 2009.

I think Sharper, in his first year with the Saints, scored as many touchdowns on the defensive side of the ball as his quarterback passed for. This trusty veteran looked like he was 25 years old again.

There was actually a bright spot for the Pats’ defense this season, and it was Meriweather. The strong safety churned out a pro bowl season and his ball-hawk-like abilities earned him 83 tackles, two forced fumbles and five interceptions.

All-Tomari Special Teams Place Kicker: Ryan Longwell Why not? I wasn’t going to select Nate “Hat Trick” Kaeding. Longwell is a good kicker, and might be on the brink of playing in the Super Bowl.

Punter: Jay Feely Way to go Jay — not bad for taking over for a sick punter in the playoffs. But just do me and all of us a favor: Take off those gloves and those elbow things. You’re a kicker, man.

Kick/Punt Returner: Joshua Cribbs He’s the only player worth a nickel on the Cleveland Browns. I don’t care if it was against Kansas City. He returned two kickoffs for touchdowns on Dec. 20, setting an NFL record for kickoff returns in a career. Note to Cleveland’s GM: Please pay the man!
