The Independent Student Voice of UNM since 1895
Frank wants ABQ ‘Innovation Square’ UNMH gets a C grade on safety by John Tyczkowski news@dailylobo.com
UNM graduates are leaving New Mexico for better jobs, and the state’s economy has been stagnant in recent years, but UNM President Robert Frank said he has a plan that could help fix both problems. At the beginning of the month, President Frank and a committee of UNM faculty and staff, public officials and community leaders
from Albuquerque went to the University of Florida to learn about Innovation Square. This is an initiative to reverse the “brain drain,” or loss of graduates to out-of-state employers, and to maintain New Mexico as a force of economic growth, Frank said. Innovation Square, described in a pamphlet as a “community that brings research and business together to inspire people to think bigger,” had revitalized Gainesville, the small town where the University of Florida is, he said. So far
it’s brought in businesses and the technology and service industry jobs to support this growth, he said. “It was really quite remarkable to see all they’ve achieved in such a short time,” Frank said. Frank said that he hopes to bring this success back to Albuquerque, and to customize the role of Innovation Square for the new location.

Students to champion UNM in Santa Fe by John Tyczkowski news@dailylobo.com
UNM students are taking the future of the Lottery Scholarship into their own hands. Tuesday is UNM Day, the annual University advocacy event at the New Mexico Legislature, where students can talk to their legislators face-to-face. “It’s the perfect opportunity for students to show our representatives and senators what UNM’s needs are, as well as to get students politically connected with their legislators,” said Cindy Nava, ASUNM executive director of governmental affairs.
Inside the
This year, students are focusing on securing the solvency of the Lottery Scholarship. Other concerns include maintaining the current in-state tuition rates, securing enough funding for the University to keep the UNM shuttle bus system running and maintaining the campus lighting network. ASUNM President Caroline Muraida said ASUNM spent months preparing to tackle the Lottery Scholarship solvency issue. “I personally worked very closely with student regent Jacob Wellman to come up with helpful ideas,” she said. “As a whole, we’ve been looking to other states to see what they’ve been doing to save their similar programs.”

Muraida said she and Wellman emphasize the importance of having students be aware of the causes at stake. “Lots of students use these things we’re advocating for, whether it’s campus shuttles or the Lottery Scholarship,” Muraida said. “They should know that they can make a difference when it comes to keeping these things around.” Nava said that this year, ASUNM developed a new plan for students to engage legislators in meaningful dialogue both one-on-one in their offices and on the floor of the Legislature. “In previous years, students
would drop by (legislators’ offices) for casual visits,” she said. “This time though we’ve had training sessions for students on what UNM’s needs are so they can speak to their legislators effectively in favor of the issues.” Trainers taught students how to talk to legislators and how to accurately and succinctly articulate UNM’s needs, she said. The training ended with mock legislator interviews to further aid students, she said. “We don’t want them to be scared or uncomfortable when talking to these people, especially oneon-one,” Nava said.
According to a new report, New Mexico has some of the most unsafe hospitals in the nation, including UNMH. The “Hospital Safety Score,” a report released by The Leapfrog Group, a nonprofit based in Washington D.C., assessed the safeness of hospitals in the U.S. by using hospitals’ existing public records. The report assigned letter grades to hospitals ranging from A to D. New Mexico has the lowest percent of A-grade hospitals in the nation. Of the 14 evaluated hospitals in New Mexico, seven got a C. UNMH, the state’s biggest hospital, was one of them. Roswell Regional Hospital was the only hospital in the state to receive a D. Five hospitals, including Albuquerque’s Presbyterian Hospital got a B, and only Espanola Hospital got an A. The group’s communications manager Erica Mobley said a panel of medical experts from institutions such as Harvard and Stanford conducted the report. She said the group started working on the report last June, and the results are based on public hospital reports they gathered from Medicare and from the American Hospital Association. Mobley said the panel used 26 measures to evaluate hospitals’ scores. This included 11 criteria that counted the number of problem cases, such as bedsores. The other 15 measures scored hospitals on a scale of 1 to 100, 100 being the best possible score, based on the panel’s evaluations for categories such as ICU death rates. Mobley said UNM scored average in the report, because 44 percent of all hospitals got a C or lower, 30 percent received an A, and 26 percent received a B. But Mobley said UNMH scored below average in certain areas, such as the number of patients who develop bedsores. On average, 25 percent of patients develop bedsores at UNMH, compared to the national average of 12 percent, according to the report. The panel also scored UNMH five out of 100 on Intensive Care Unit physician staffing; the national average is 23.08 out of 100. The panel used this to calculate the death rate in UNMH’s ICU, which is more than 20 percent. “Anybody who’s going to a hospital is already sick in the first place,” Mobley said. “But these things are something that happened accidentally that shouldn’t

Math lab aims to cut fail rate New MATH 120 scheme to use self-paced teaching by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com
Thirty-two percent of high school graduates are not proficient in math when they enter UNM as freshmen, said UNM President Robert Frank. “They’re not prepared to do college math, so many students go to their math classes and fail,” he said. “And they either get discouraged and leave college, or they put it off for a long time and face challenges later in their curriculum.” The new Math Learning Lab is the latest measure to improve the UNM students’ preparedness for college-level math. The MaLL, located in the lower level of the Centennial Science and Engineering
President
Library, opened on Friday. Frank said that although planning for the MaLL had been initiated by the UNM’s math department before 2012, he started to get involved with the process right after he was selected as UNM’s 21st president in January of last year. He said the facility was based on a similar math laboratory in Kent State University, where Frank served as provost and senior vice president before he came to UNM. Frank said the MaLL, which has 140 computers, is a unique way for students to learn math. “Our students are learning in a way that they have not learned before,” he said. “It’s personalized, it’s adaptive, and most of all, the success can be phenomenal.” The MaLL is MATH 120, redesigned. MaLL coordinating instructor Jenny Ross said the course started this semester and
is designed to replace in-class lectures with a software called ALEKS, which builds a personalized lesson plan for students. It is a three-credit course, and does not count toward core requirements. Ross said it is impossible for students to fail MATH 120. “If they don’t finish by the end of the semester, they just get an incomplete, and they can actually finish it over break … or on the next term” she said. “They don’t have to start all over again.” Ross said that before starting the course, students take an assessment that determines their individual math proficiency. She said students are not required to do activities they test out of. “This is more of a self-based class because if they finish early, they’re done with the class. They don’t have to keep coming.”
develop land faster. “That’s the key to growing very quickly, and both sectors can agree on that,” said Frank. “With the utility codes, the public sector needs to be the catalyst, and the private sector will follow.” Frank also said having a center like Innovation Square in Albuquerque would be beneficial to students at UNM and elsewhere. By creating science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) jobs in Albuquerque, Frank said he believes the highpaying positions would make students more likely to stay in
the city or the state. In what Frank called a “trickle-down” effect, supporting businesses would follow these technicalknowledge jobs, resulting in opportunities for non-STEM students, as well as for those with high school degrees. “While it’s initially geared for STEM students, the project would be an exponential job creator for everyone,” said Frank. “It’s not just for STEM students, or even just for college students. At the end of the day, we can help everyone, even the guy working in the widget factory.”

Frank said that unlike Gainesville, Albuquerque is extremely growth-oriented, though it still has legal and human obstacles to overcome before leveraging this advantage. “Albuquerque needs to get some growth pushers in place,” said Frank. “We need to get the public and private sources working together.” The plan is still in its beginning stages; Frank said a committee has yet to be formed. So far, he said they know the first step is creating unified utility codes throughout the city, which would make it easier to raise new buildings and

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: On Jan. 17, the Daily Lobo published the article “Larceny at UNM rampant,” which detailed statistics about campus crime for the fall semester. What do you think about this? I had no idea property theft was such a problem on campus, and will 14% be more vigilant about keeping my belongings safe. The statistics for all kinds of crime on 14% campus were eye-opening for me. I’m not surprised that property theft is so common, but other crime statis- 57% tics surprised me. I’ve been a victim of property theft on campus, and so I was not sur- 14% prised this was the case. Out of 14 responses
THIS WEEK’S POLL: On Thursday, the Daily Lobo published “Disbeleaf at Nob Hill treeson.” The article was about the owner of Savvy Boutique in Nob Hill, who faced public outrage after he had a tree cut down because it was blocking his store sign. What do you think about this? There are more important things the community could be concerned about. The response seemed overdramatic.

Should Congress pass laws that are effective? On Thursday, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (DCalif.) introduced a bill to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. The ban would stop the manufacturing of these weapons and their sale to law-abiding citizens. The ban will do nothing to stop criminals from obtaining assault rifles and high-capacity magazines, because it is already illegal for criminals to purchase and possess them. The laws on the books haven’t stopped criminals from possessing and using firearms, so what makes anyone think that a new law that says the same thing will make any difference? The proposed ban will also not stop school massacres like the ones at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Virginia Tech or Columbine. It will only serve to reduce the defensive capabilities of law-abiding citizens. Instead of disarming Americans who have done no wrong, why not make the penalties for using a weapon in a crime significantly more severe? Every state could pass laws making any crime committed using a firearm punishable by a mandatory 15-year minimum sentence, over and above the sentence for whatever particular crime they are committing. If an assault weapon or a large-capacity magazine is used, then add an additional 10 years to the sentence. These penalties could not be reduced for good behavior; they would have to be served in full. That would take the dangerous criminals out of society for a much greater length of time. Criminals would know and understand the consequences of having or
US militance endangers kids living in war zones Editor, An assault weapon was used to kill elementary school kids inside the U.S. So now we have Democratic politicians proposing an assault weapons ban, arguing that such weapons should be used outside America in war and not, as one advocate put it, “on our streets.” So it is not OK to use such firepower to kill innocent kids on our own streets, but it is OK to use these and bigger weapons to
carrying any firearm. This would keep law-abiding citizens from being punished for the actions of criminals. Any ex-convict found to be in possession of a firearm would be in violation of their parole and would automatically be sent to prison to serve their 15 to 25 year prison sentence without the need for a trial. While there is already a federal law that adds 10 years to any crime committed with a firearm, the law is rarely enforced. If states passed this law, it would have a real impact on gun crime. States that didn’t pass the legislation could expect to see a rise in their gun crime as criminals flee the states where it is in effect. These laws, in the short term, would make law enforcement more dangerous because criminals would be faced with the severe penalties and might be more inclined to fight rather than surrender. As the penalties were instituted and it became clear that criminals with firearms were not going to be tolerated, the danger to law enforcement would subside over time. These changes would require citizens to be a bit more understanding as officers perform traffic stops or investigations because the officers would have to be much more careful. To prevent school massacres where the perpetrator does not anticipate surviving the event, schools need to have a defensive means of stopping a school shooting. Armed guards have been proposed, but they are a poor tactical choice for protecting schools. Unless the armed guards are completely inconspicuous, they become the first target in a school shooting, giving the shooter an additional weapon. One person alone cannot adequately cope with a single shooter,
especially with multiple shooters in a school shooting like Columbine. Instead, allow concealed carry in schools for teachers and staff. Pay four to 12 or more teachers to be a part of a quick response team. The number would be dependent upon the physical size and footprint of the school. One to $3,000 per year per team member would be more cost effective than hiring one armed guard. There would also be coverage of the school beyond the standard school day and potential perpetrators would not have any idea who was on the team. Each team member would be trained by qualified instructors to improve shooting skills, trained in shooting response tactics, defensive handgun training and the legal aspects of an armed response. The increased salary would pay for four to five days of training per semester. Any teacher with a valid concealed-carry permit would be allowed to carry a gun in the school, but the rules for teachers would be different than carrying off campus. Weapons would have to be carried on their person at all times. Leaving the weapon in a desk, purse, bag, gun safe, locker or briefcase would be prohibited. Principals would need to know who in the school has a concealed-carry permit and who would be armed. The principals would be responsible for identifying questionable behaviors in teachers and staff who carried, and teachers who carry would be responsible for any action they take associated with the use of the firearm other than an armed-shooter response. The changes in law proposed here would have a real impact on preventing gun crime and school shootings where the proposed bans have no way of being effective.
LETTER have kids killed as “collateral damage” on the civilian streets of foreign lands? What is the current ratio of elementary school kids killed by our military action abroad to the number killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School? The figure abroad is unknown to us; the media do not report it, and it has been alleged that the Pentagon keeps no running count. As for us civilians, our guilty secret is that most of us don’t really want to know. Thus, some of all these suicides committed by returning military could well be triggered by the overpowering guilt that comes from being party to the deaths of Afghan or Iraqi or Pakistani
children, however inadvertently. But we are too arrogant to acknowledge this. When, oh when, are we going to bring back the contrition demonstrated during our invasion of Vietnam, expressed during antiwar marches chanting, “Hey, hey, L.B.J. How many kids did you kill today?” These outpourings were not only cathartic for our body politic, they earned the American people an admiration abroad that has not been seen since the end of that war, for it showed them we have a soul.

She said that because the report used public records that are “hardly biased” and because professional medical experts determined the results, the report is very accurate. But medical practitioners at UNMH are questioning the legitimacy of the report. UNMH Executive Director for Quality Marc David Munk said the results are flawed. Munk said that although the report is based mainly on public data, 11 of the 26 measures required hospitals to fill out a survey. He said that because UNMH decided not to submit documents for the remaining 11 measures, it obtained a low score. “We had concerns about the time it would take for us to participate … and about the accuracy of the project,” he said. “We were graded on a test we didn’t take.” Munk said UNMH decided not to participate because 65 percent of other academic hospitals in the country did not either. He said the report lacked enough hospital participation and the results are questionable. Munk said UNMH operates more
efficiently than what the report depicted. He said the hospital is regularly ranked as one of the best in the country. “There’s ample evidence that UNMH is one of the leading academic hospitals in the country,” he said. “We are in the top third in the country. That’s a more accurate measure.” Mobley said her organization’s intent for the report isn’t to scare people away from UNMH. The panel’s aim is to warn people of the potential hazards in hospitals, she said. “This does not mean, ‘Don’t go to that hospital,’” she said. “Regardless of whether you’re going to an ‘A’ hospital or a ‘C’ hospital, it’s needless to say that you should be cautious.” Mobley advised that patients should observe simple aspects of a hospital, such as how often its doctors wash their hands. These aspects will help patients be more aware of the safeness of a medical facility, she said. “Hospitals are run by people, and people make mistakes,” she said. Mobley said the “Hospital Safety Score” is updated twice a year. She said the next results will be published in April.

Maloofs agree to sell Kings by Antonio Gonzalez The Associated Press
The only thing stopping the Sacramento Kings from a sale and move to Seattle is approval by NBA owners. The Maloof family has agreed to sell the Kings to a Seattle group led by investor Chris Hansen, the league confirmed in a statement Monday, Jan. 21. The deal is still pending a vote by the NBA Board of Governors. A person familiar with the decision said that Hansen’s group will buy 65 percent of the franchise for $525 million, move the team to Seattle and restore the SuperSonics name. The Maloofs will have no stake in the team. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal was waiting approval. The sale figure is a total valuation of the franchise, which includes relocation fees. Hansen’s group also is hoping to buy out other minority investors. The Maloofs will get a $30 million nonrefundable down payment by Feb. 1, according to the deal, one person said. They will still be allowed to receive other offers until the league approves the sale. The plan by Hansen’s group is to have the team play at least the next two seasons in KeyArena before moving into a new facility in downtown Seattle. The deadline for teams to apply for a move for next season is March 1. “We have always appreciated and treasured our ownership of the Kings and have had a great admiration for the fans and our team members. We would also like to thank
Chris Hansen for his professionalism during our negotiation. Chris will be a great steward for the franchise,” Kings co-owner Gavin Maloof said in a statement on behalf of the family. Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson said two weeks ago he had received permission from NBA Commissioner David Stern to present a counteroffer to league owners from buyers who would keep the Kings in Sacramento. Johnson, himself a former AllStar point guard in the NBA, said in a statement that the city remained undeterred despite the agreement with the Seattle group. “Sacramento has proven that it is a strong NBA market with a fan base that year in and year out has demonstrated a commitment to the Kings by selling out 19 of 27 seasons in a top 20 market and owning two of the longest sellout streaks in NBA history,” Johnson said. “When it comes to keeping the team in our community, Sacramento is playing to win. In particular, we have been focused like a laser on identifying an ownership group that will both have the financial resources desired by the NBA and the vision to make the Kings the NBA equivalent of what the Green Bay Packers have been in the NFL.” In a saga that has dragged on for nearly three years, Johnson and Sacramento appear to be facing their most daunting challenge yet. Hansen, a Seattle native and San Francisco-based investor, reached agreement with local governments in Seattle last October on plans to build a $490 million arena near the city’s other stadiums, CenturyLink Field and Safeco Field. As part of the agreement, no
construction will begin until all environmental reviews are completed and a team has been secured. The arena also faces a pair of lawsuits, including one from a longshore workers union because the arena is being built close to port and industrial operations. Hansen’s group is expected to pitch in $290 million in private investment toward the arena, along with helping to pay for transportation improvements in the area around the stadiums. The plans also call for the arena to be able to handle a future NHL franchise. The remaining $200 million in public financing would be paid back with rent money and admissions taxes from the arena, and if that money falls short, Hansen would be responsible for making up the rest. Other investors in the proposed arena include Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer and two members of the Nordstrom department store family. Hansen’s goal has been to return the SuperSonics to the Puget Sound after they were moved from Seattle to Oklahoma City in 2008. Asked in September if he could envision a team being in Seattle for the 2013 season, Hansen was cautious about finding an option that quickly. The Kings’ sale price would top the NBA-record $450 million the Golden State Warriors sold for in July 2010. “While we are not at liberty to discuss the terms of the transaction or our plans for the franchise given the confidential nature of the agreement and NBA regulations regarding public comments during a pending transaction, we would just like to extend our sincerest

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — Mother Nature saved the best for last, with some of the largest swells of the day arriving during the final heat on Jan. 20 at the Mavericks Invitational big wave surfing contest as thousands of spectators invaded a quaint coastal town known more for its annual pumpkin festival than for surf. The waves weren’t the largest ever seen at the famed Northern California Mavericks surf break a halfmile offshore of Half Moon Bay — the
biggest faces reached 25 to 30 feet — but surfing fans still got their fill of steep drops, wipeouts and powerful, booming surf. In the end, Peter Mel, of Santa Cruz, took home the crown. He decided to split the $50,000 pot with his six competitors, a symbol of good faith that has become a Mavericks Invitational tradition. “We as a brotherhood decided to split the money,” Mel said, saying the group agreed to the split upon paddling out for the last heat. “When you start a final like that, it takes the pressure off ... and that’s
when the waves started to come too,” he said. Surfers are judged on a number of factors, but those who make the largest drop down the steepest wave usually end up on the winner’s podium. Mel, 42, had a number of hairraising drops and long rides. But it was a spectacular wipeout that was most memorable. On one giant wave, he stood up as the crest pitched over him, completely engulfing him in the “tube.” He never made it out, getting slammed by a two- to three-story wall of white water.

The UNM swimming and diving team split two matches during the weekend. The Lobos lost to Wyoming 130-69 on Friday but recovered by defeating Northern Colorado 166-129 on Saturday in the Air Force Diving Invitational. Junior Monica Dudley was the lone Lobo to claim victory against Wyoming by winning the 500-yard free with a time of 5:10.76. Against the Bears, the Lobos finished first in 10 of the 16 events. Divers junior Megan Harper and sophomore Michole Timm finished second and third, respectively, in the 3-meter springboard. Harper had a final score of 300.00 and Timm had a mark of 296.55.
The UNM men’s and women’s track teams combined for 14 medals at the New Mexico Invitational on Friday and Saturday. Junior Adam Bitchell claimed third in the men’s mile run with a time of 4 minutes, 5.17 seconds. Senior Imogen Ainsworth and junior Kirsten Follet finished 1-2 in the women’s mile, coming in at 4:55.08 and 4:59.32, respectively.

The contest on Sunday, Jan. 20, was the first since 2010 at the bonecrushing break that has claimed the lives of two expert big wave surfers. Wave forecasters that week saw an excellent mixture of swell, wind, tide and sunny skies, though the waves on the morning of the contest were not quite as big as expected. Because there were long intervals between the swells, there were a lot of 20- to 30-minute lulls between waves. “But when the waves came, they were pretty exciting,” said Jeff Clark, who is credited with being the first to surf Mavericks and is a key part of the event’s organization. Surfing the waves at Mavericks is a feat that takes athletic skill, experience and nerve. The swells travel through deep water for five days before hitting a small, finger-like section of shallow reef that juts out into the sea.
When the swell meets the reef, the wave jumps upward and crashes back down with a fury, eventually washing through a section of craggy rocks. The takeoff is often so steep that the surfers’ big-wave “gun” surfboards leave the wave face, forcing the surfers to land near the bottom and make a quick turn before being pummeled by the wave’s lip. The spot — named after Clark’s dog — has earned a nasty reputation. Mark Foo, a legendary bigwave surfer from Hawaii, died while surfing Mavericks in 1994. In 2011, another seasoned waterman, Sion Milosky, died there just weeks after another surfer nearly drowned. Eleven-time world champion surfer Kelly Slater was scheduled to surf in this year’s contest but pulled out at the last minute after a reported conflict with another pro tour
association. Shane Dorian, who is considered the world’s best big wave surfer, pulled out at the last minute due to a shoulder injury. This year the contest was different than previous years: Spectators were forbidden access to the beach or bluffs. After a large set of waves crashed into the crowd in 2010, injuring dozens, local officials barred crowds from congregating there. Also, people congregating on the bluffs and along tide pools during previous contests caused environmental damage. A festival was set up in the parking lot of a hotel near the beach, where spectators could watch a live broadcast. If there was disappointment, there was no evidence of it in the large crowd that gathered to watch, oohing with each great ride.

That blew my cosmos! Capricorn—Take the time to review the past couple of weeks. Regardless of what conclusions to which you come, the process itself will be vital to your advancement. You’re coming on a period of spiritual growth, though you’ll feel yourself mentally resisting such a slippery subject. Try not to force this growth to meet logical requirements. If you free up your thinking, you can expect the seeds of success to be planted come the new moon. Aquarius—The full moon on Saturday left you feeling almost out of touch with yourself. Given that it was in Leo, your opposite sign, you found yourself strongly reacting to emotional attachments. Over the next couple of weeks, you can expect to build on what you know about yourself. It’s OK to take personal time, to reflect and healthily indulge in your emotions. If you learn to do this regularly, you won’t find your heart clashing too mightily with your mind. Pisces—The inner planets and the sun starting moving into Aquarius last week, and by Saturday all but Mars will be on your side. Whereas the last month of Capricorn had you feeling levelheaded and self-assured, Aquarius will throw you off and threaten to unravel everything you’ve been working on that past couple weeks. Don’t fret. Challenge is the potential for growth, so enter February with all the hope and positivity you can muster. Aries—Lately, you’ve been restless, and it has a lot to do with inner turmoil and what you perceive to be the state of today’s society. Your frustration came to a head during Saturday’s full moon, and it’s nearly time to take action. Narrow these problems down to what you know and what you can fix. Something I heard on NPR you might find helpful: you can’t fix a problem by criticizing it. You cre-
ate something new that makes the problem obsolete. Taurus—Forget about your problems. No, this is not a joke. You have become overly involved in your own life, and it’s time you divert your attention to what goes on around you. This is the root of an array of problems you face, from finances to friendship woes. This is not to say you should stop attending to what’s on your plate. Simply stop micromanaging your own life. Do your best with what you have and move on to bigger and better things. Gemini—The next few weeks will be a cruise down easy street, but not without some bumps along the way. Anything that crosses your path will prove to be a pleasant challenge, and you stand to grow immensely from even seemingly innocuous encounters. Don’t take anything for granted; make the most of opportunities and dream big. Take the next couple weeks to live according to your whims. Be playful and boundless. Cancer—You will not like this horoscope. Your emotional reaction will be a testament to what it tells you. With all the Aquarius influence for the next few weeks, you’ll feel as if the world is giving you the cold shoulder. People do care. But you are one person in a sea of many. Take comfort in group situations, and try to come out of your comfort zone. Keep your emotions in check, as they color every experience for better or worse. Don’t be afraid of the future. Leo—You want it all, and you’re running short on resources. It’s time to narrow your life down to what is absolutely necessary. To make your life better, you’ve gotten into the habit of adding to your responsibilities, making more purchases, etc. You need to take away to make room for what’s to come, and it is truly an excit-
New Mexico Daily Lobo
Weekly Horoscopes by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu ing time ahead of you. Don’t deprive yourself of what you actually need. However, this is not the time for regularly indulging as you typically do. Virgo—You are inclined to be realistic and rely on logic, but both of these things will be more of a crutch in the coming weeks. The realm of “reality,” safe and familiar, is your comfort zone, and it’s time for you to step out of it. Try approaching new situations and people with an open mind. You may find yourself making unexpected friends and discover you like things you never would have known about. Libra—The cosmos is basically setting you up for an excellent month, especially where networking is concerned. Your charm and poise will take you a long way, and the only struggle you’ll have is deciding what you’ll have to skip for lack of time. You can use this energy for any purpose you wish, but with the humanitarian Aquarian influence, you’ll find more satisfaction with activities that benefit other people. Scorpio—Take some time to divorce yourself from negative emotions. Your wellbeing in general counts on ridding yourself of these psychic vampires. The next couple of weeks, it will be more than your well-being that suffers. All that you’ve been working so hard for will take a serious beating if you don’t tone down your bitterness. Indulge in that which gives you joy. Warm your heart and soul. Sagittarius—Your anxiety level is finally settling down. The next few weeks, use your calm head to your advantage. What had you so frightened? The problem hasn’t necessarily gone away, but the planets are moving into emotionally-detached Aquarius, quelling some of that fire. It’s a good time for self-improvement, especially cutting back on bad habits or ridding yourself of addictions.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL
2012 MWC champ Aztecs spook Lobos, win 63-39 by Christian Naranjo sports@dailylobo.com @cnaranjo7
To put it lightly, the UNM women’s basketball team struggled against San Diego State on Saturday at the Pit. The Lobos shot 34.7 percent (17 of 49) from the field, 22 percent (4 of 18) from the charity stripe and committed 19 turnovers in a 63-39 loss in front of an announced crowd of 7,437. Head coach Yvonne Sanchez said the Lobos’ (10-8, 2-3 MWC) inexperience hurt them against the senior-laden Aztecs (14-5, 5-1 MWC). “We’ve got some kids that are afraid to fail,” Sanchez said. “We have to let them know that if they make a mistake, it’s OK. But we have a lot of young kids playing minutes. When they make mistakes, they take themselves out of the game.” With 1:26 remaining in the first half, New Mexico trailed 2816 but SDSU put the game out of reach with a 7-0 run to extend the lead to 35-16. “That was the time we could have made a run. Instead, they made the run. That meant we headed to the locker room at halftime with a really big hole,” Sanchez said. “We just couldn’t recover.” Junior guard Sara Halasz, who came off the bench, had a team-high nine points and five rebounds. Junior forward Deeva Vaughn provided eight points and three rebounds in 19 minutes. San Diego State’s senior guards Courtney Clements and Chelsea Hopkins combined for 32 points, 14 rebounds, nine assists and five steals. As a team, the Aztecs shot 49 percent (25 of 51) from the field and hit 75 percent (9-12) of their free throws.
Garrett Goeckner/ Daily Lobo Junior guard Sarah Halasz forces a SDSU player to the baseline in UNM’s Saturday night matchup against the Aztecs. The 63-39 loss brings their total to three in five games.
Both the Lobos and the Aztecs pulled down 32 rebounds. Vaughn said the Aztecs’ aura rattled the Lobos’ mental state. “Them being the Mountain
West Champions, I think that startled our team a little bit. We just needed to come out stronger and pick up the momentum,” she said.
Sanchez said she doesn’t know how to cure the Lobos’ shooting woes. “Making the team run sprints isn’t going to work. They hit (the
shots) during practice and drills we run,” she said. “Our mindset has to change so that we are not afraid to fail.”
MEN’S BASKETBALL
Poor shooting clinches 55-34 loss to SDSU by J.R. Oppenheim

The UNM men’s basketball team didn’t exactly shoot lights out at San Diego State on Saturday. In fact, the Lobos scored a season-low 34 points in a 55-34 MWC loss to the Aztecs at Viejas Arena in San Diego. The Lobos’ 34-point total was their lowest since Jan. 31, 1976, when they scored 32 against Utah. At 25 percent from the field (11 of 44), the Lobos posted perhaps their worst shooting percentage on record. In the second half, UNM made just four field goals out of 22 shots. SDSU, meanwhile, connected on 23 of its 57 shots for the game. Junior guard Kendall Williams hit five of his nine attempts, leading UNM’s scorers with 14 points. No other UNM player scored double figures. Junior guard Tony Snell added seven points. Sophomore guard Hugh Greenwood, scoring five points, was the only other Lobo with more than two points.
League-leading UNM (17-3, 4-1 MWC) had a two-game edge over SDSU and Colorado State in the league standings. By snapping the Lobos’ four-game win streak, SDSU (16-4, 4-2 MWC) won its last two outings after back-to-back losses a week ago. UNM head coach Steve Alford said the loss was not the result of his team’s resting on its laurels. “There is no letup in us,” he said. “Our guys practice extremely hard and practice very, very well. Everybody picked (SDSU) to win it. We know what kind of team we were playing today, and I thought they played very well.” Saturday wasn’t a good day for ranked teams. No. 3 Syracuse, No. 5 Louisville, No. 11 Kansas State, No. 12 Minnesota and No. 19 Virginia Commonwealth lost to unranked opponents. In all, there were 15 games where a ranked team lost to a lower-ranked or unranked squad last week. UNM’s post presence was kept in check. San Diego State had four times as many points in the paint as New Mexico. The 32-8 difference is the widest mar-
gin the Lobos gave this season. UNM’s post players, sophomore center Alex Kirk and junior forward Cameron Bairstow, were a combined 1-of-12 on field goals. Earlier in the week, Alford said Kirk saw limited time in practice because he was dealing with flulike symptoms. Kirk’s contribution in Wednesday’s home win against Colorado State was also low; he finished that game with three points. SDSU also won the rebounding battle with 41 boards. UNM pulled down 26 and has been outrebounded by at least 29 over its last two games. The Aztecs also converted 16 Lobo turnovers into 15 points, although UNM had 13 points off turnovers. Sophomore forward J.J. O’Brien tallied 12 points and 10 rebounds to lead SDSU. Junior guard Jamaal Franklin added 10 points. “I think most of the teams with two losses were happy when they saw that score,” SDSU head coach Steve Fisher said at his postgame press conference. “Now the potential for a league race is here.”
