Senate OKs space law by John Tyczkowski news@dailylobo.com
New Mexicans are one step closer to having the world’s first working commercial spaceport in their state. Senate Bill 240, the Space Flight Informed Consent Act, passed unanimously in the Senate Wednesday morning. It heads to the House next, hearing date to be determined. The New Mexico spaceport is located in the Jornada del Muerto desert basin just west of White Sands Missile Range and has been rented out to Virgin Galactic for use as a commercial launching area. The starting price for a space flight around the Earth is $200,000 per person. The bill, sponsored by Sen. Mary Kay Papen (D-Las Cruces), clarifies liability in tort claims issues brought

Voters may get to pick regents ‘Our regent positions are treated as political plums’ by Barry Massey
The Associated Press SANTA FE — Voters could elect some members of the governing boards of New Mexico’s largest universities under a legislative proposal that supporters say will lessen the influence of politics over higher education. Two constitutional amendments introduced in the House on Wednesday would overhaul the selection of boards of regents for public colleges and universities. The governor currently appoints regents and they serve staggered terms. “The fact of the matter is in many cases our regent positions are treated as political plums,” said Rep. Jeff Steinborn, a Las Cruces Democrat who’s sponsoring the measures with other lawmakers. University of New Mexico Regent Jamie Koch opposes revamping the current regent system. “What they’re talking about doing here really keeps the governor from having the opportunity to make the changes in higher education that the governor might want to do,” said Koch, a Santa Fe businessman named to the board by former Democratic Gov. Bill Richardson. “The governor

loses control over higher education and I don’t think that’s right.” Koch’s term expires at the end of 2014. One legislative proposal would require lawmakers to establish minimum qualifications for the regents of four-year universities and colleges, as well as the New Mexico Military Institute, the School for the Deaf and the New Mexico School for the Blind & Visually Impaired. It also would significantly change the boards of regents at the two largest universities — the University of New Mexico and New Mexico State University. A second proposal would establish an independent nominating commission to recommend people to the governor for appointment as regents. The commission would be similar to bipartisan panels that screen applicants for judgeships and make recommendations to the governor for possible appointment. For NMSU and UNM, voters would elect three regents and the governor would appoint two. There also would be one faculty member on the board — named by the governor from candidates recommended by the faculty — and one student regent, who would be selected by fellow regents from recommendations of the student body. Candidates for the elective regent

Video shows life of farmed animals by John Tyczkowski news@dailylobo.com
Students may rethink going to their favorite restaurant for a green chile cheeseburger after Wednesday’s demonstration. The Farm Animal Rights Movement’s “10 Billion Lives” tour truck showed up in front of the SUB on Wednesday. FARM paid students $1 to watch a graphic four-minute video on food-industry practices that involve abusing chickens, turkeys, cattle and pigs in factory farms. The video’s title, “10 Billion Lives,” refers to the number of animals slaughtered each year for food. FARM is a nonprofit organization and all the funding for its campaigns comes from donations. “There’s a lot of cruelty involved with your food,” said Andy Tabar, the tour operator in charge of the North American leg of the tour. “We show fully legal industry practices in the animal industry, from raising to slaughter.” Students watched the video at stations in the side of the truck Wednesday. Some students were unaware of the practices depicted in the video. “I thought it was very informative, we really don’t know where our food comes from or what happens,” said Joe Garcia, a graduate student studying educational leadership. “Awareness is important.” “I knew about bad practices we had, but I never knew the full extent,” said Omar Torres, a mechanical engineering major. “I feel like (the video) is slapping you in the face. But if

The nonprofit organization Farm Animal Rights Movement is on their 10 Billion Lives Tour across the United States. you don’t see it or talk about it, you don’t get it.” But not all students were taken by surprise regarding the video’s content. “I had known about this, I took a culinary class in high school, and they showed us a video like this then,” said Tania Delgadillo, a biology major. “I’m stopping eating meat now.” Tabar said the focus of the tour is to expose industry practices and convince people to stop eating meat. “We’re not focusing on legislation or reforming laws,” Tabar said. “We’re trying to bring everyone into the vegan lifestyle and end the demand for animal products.” Though the video focuses exclu-
sively on land animals, Tabar emphasized that marine animals should not be forgotten. “The level of abuses is the same for fish, and it’s sometimes worse,” Tabar said. Tabar said a presentation at Texas Tech’s College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources resulted in some students thinking twice about their majors. “We got mixed reactions,” said Tabar. “Some animal science students dismissed us, but some said, ‘I’m changing my major after viewing this.’” The 10 Billion Lives video and more information about FARM’s truck tour can be found at 10billiontour.org.

How
to maintain a skateboard
You’ve probably noticed skaters on campus zooming through crowds to get to class. Maybe you’ve thought to yourself “Man, that guy/girl looks so cool.� Maybe you’ve thought about taking the plunge and buying yourself a sweet ride. If so, here are some tips to keep your board in tip-top shape from UNM student skateboard experts Eugene “Colton� Grossheim and Ray Vigil. For additional information, Vigil suggested looking online at SilverFishLongBoarding.com, a skateboarding community forum.
sure all your hardware is nice and snug. Grossheim said the board Under My Wheels Figure out which wheels will work best for you and your Tighten Up Make will rattle if the hardware is loose, and you run the risk of losing imporboard. Longboards generally have larger wheels than tratant parts while you’re riding. On the flipside, if the hardware is too tight, the bars that hold the wheels, called trucks, can rub against the wood or cause stress fractures, which would be no bueno. Basically, you shouldn’t need to use excessive force to tighten hardware, but shouldn’t be able to loosen anything with your fingers. This should keep everything on the board perfectly in place. Vigil said you should be able to make any adjustments with a skate tool, which you can find for about $10.
Space Truckin’
You can tighten or loosen your trucks to adjust how much weight you need to use to turn you board. Determining what works best for you is a process of trial and error. Make sure both trucks are tightened/loosened the same amount, otherwise turning will be very difficult. If your trucks start to get squeaky, you can simply take truck hangers off the board, rub the suspension discs for the trucks, call bushings, with bar soap and reattach them.

ditional skateboards, which makes it easier to ride over cracked and uneven pavement and decrease your chance of falling. Grossheim said increasing your speed will also help you get over cracks easier. Know what your wheels can handle; there’s nothing worse than eating concrete amid a large crowd of bustling students.
Only the Good Die Young
At some point, every skateboarder will take a dive. It’s almost a rite of passage and there’s always inherent risk when you ride. But, if you do fall off your board, never land on your hands or with your arms straight and locked. Instead, Grossheim suggested trying to roll, or absorb the fall on large parts of your body, such as your shoulder (but avoid the collar bone) or hip. ~Megan Underwood

Lost Kentucky dog found in NM by Jeri Clausing
Mandi Smith’s 5-month-old puppy disappeared from the family’s Fort Campbell, Ky., yard 18 months ago. So when Smith got a call saying Pooka had turned up in northern New Mexico, she says she was more than a little surprised. “At first I thought someone was playing a trick on me,” the 26year-old Smith said Wednesday, adding that she played the voicemail from the Espanola Valley Humane Society more than once. “I thought I’d never see her again.”
But it was no joke. The now 2-year-old Chihuahua-dachshund mix, also known as a “chiweenie,” was found wandering the streets in Espanola on Jan. 12. She was traced back to her military family by a microchip that Smith says had been installed just days before she went missing. Smith and the dog were reunited Wednesday at Albuquerque’s airport. Surrounded by cameras and reporters, it was unclear if Pooka recognized Smith. But she clearly looked content to be snuggled in her arms. Pooka has been staying with a foster mom, Melanie Lopez, who

positions would run in nonpartisan elections, with one elected from each of the state’s congressional districts. Currently, there are seven UNM regents and five for NMSU. Lawmakers propose seven-member boards for both universities and limit terms to four years rather than six. There would be no elective regents other than for UNM and NMSU, and the governor would continue to appoint regents at other schools. None of the proposed regent changes would apply to two-year community colleges. If the Legislature approves the proposals and voters adopt the constitutional changes in the 2014 general election, it would be left to the Legislature to determine some details, such as the specific qualifications for regents. Voters adopted a constitutional amendment last year to require lawmakers to establish qualifications for Public Regulation Commission members. Supporters said their proposals should improve the governance of higher education. “As we have now, I think the system encourages people who may not have experience in higher education and therefore they are more likely to not understand the issues and to just go along with what a president might say. That doesn’t serve the universities in a good manner,” said Sen. William Soules, a Las Cruces Democrat. He and Steinborn said the proposed regent overhaul wasn’t precipitated by a specific incident but they acknowledged there was an uproar in Las Cruces over the abrupt resignation last year of NMSU President Barbara Couture, who received a sixfigure payout.
brought the dog to the airport for the reunion. Also on hand was Claudia Inoue, a Santa Fe animal lover who donated Southwest Airlines frequent flier awards to Lopez. Southwest Airlines waived the $75 fee for Smith to carry the dog home on the plane. Smith says she had Pooka for just four months when she disappeared after the family let her out to do her business. “I don’t know if she got out through a hole in the fence or what,” Smith said. Smith planned to head straight back to Kentucky, where she said

against “space flight entities,” which makes it easier to conduct business with such companies operating within the state. The bill provides new definitions for space flight-related language and terms, which had not previously existed in New Mexico law. These new definitions are state-specific, and differ from previous definitions found in federal law. The law would also create a $1 million cap on liability for the suppliers and manufacturers of parts used in the spacecraft launched from the facility, limiting any possible lawsuits. This latest success in the Legislature follows the completion of the most critical components of the spaceport late last year. All operational infrastructure needed to launch and recover a spacecraft is in place. The next part of the project, construction of the public areas including the visitors center and restaurant, is underway. The House is the last major legal hurdle for Spaceport America. If the bill passes the House, it will be passed on to Gov. Susana Martinez. If she signs the bill, it will become law. In House news, the Legislative Finance Committee released a fiscal impact report for House Bill 114, otherwise known as Prohibit Enforcement of Federal Gun Laws, sponsored by Rep. Nora Espinoza (R-Roswell). House Bill 114 would criminalize, as a third degree felony, the enforcement of federal firearms laws within New Mexico state borders. It would also enable the New Mexico attorney general to defend New Mexicans refusing to follow federal firearms laws because of the new state law. The report said that the passage of the bill would increase significantly

the number of criminal cases filed in all jurisdictions within the state, and would add investigative tasks to state and local law enforcement. As a consequence, costs associated with law enforcement and the court system would rise, as would hours worked by both employees of the court system and law enforcement personnel. The attorney general’s office and the New Mexico District Attorney’s Association challenged most parts of HB 114 based on the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which says that federal laws automatically override state laws. The offices also said the bill is contradicted by the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which has been used to regulate the manufacture and transfer of firearms between states and also as an additional legal basis to overrule individual state laws. Both offices note a number of smaller but still significant problems with the bill. These include the fact that HB 114 would only govern federal legislation and would do nothing to counteract state laws that could end up being more restrictive than federal laws. Also, there is the fact that if passed, holders of federal firearms licenses would be forced to either follow federal regulations and violate state laws, or vice versa. The final significant issue noted with the bill is that, if passed simultaneously with opposing HB 77, sponsored by Rep. Miguel Garcia (D-Albuquerque), HB 77 would effectively cancel HB 114. HB 77 aims to make state and federal firearm laws the same. Thus, if HB 77 and HB 114 both pass, HB 114 would be meaningless, because there would be no difference between state and federal firearm laws to enforce.

Nonviolent tactics can still shape our world by Will Thomson
Daily Lobo columnist opinion@dailylobo.com There is a multitude of ways in which people can create change. Many of these ways involve direct action, or putting ideas into motion and effecting change through action. Direct action is greatly effective when it is nonviolent and uses peaceful means to create change. Three important tactics of nonviolent direct action are boycotts, divestments and sanctions. These tactics have been used throughout history to make social change happen, and there are a number of groups today that are employing these tactics to fight for their causes. These tactics have been utilized in many fights for social justice. In the 1960s, Cesar Chavez and the National Farm Workers Association used boycotts to improve working conditions for agricultural laborers. They urged boycotts of nonunion grapes to put pressure on the companies that could change working conditions, and eventually won better contracts. In the 1980s, there was a push to use divestment to break down apartheid in South Africa. Many nations, universities and other large institutions took money out of the country to put economic pressure on South Africa. This divestment had a hand in changing the situation in South Africa. During this time, the United Nations also levied sanctions against the apartheid state. When used in the context of social justice, these tactics have been very useful for creating change. There are a number of movements that are using these tactics today, some of them with chapters at UNM. Two notable groups are the environmental organization 350.org and the Palestine solidarity organization Students for Justice in Palestine. The first group, 350.org, which concerns itself with slowing and limiting the impacts of climate change, has the goal of lowering the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million. This is the level many scientists say is acceptable for climate preservation. According to CO2now.org, the level in December was 394.39 ppm. One of the ways the group is working toward this goal is through a divestment campaign. The group has worked with students across the country to try to get universities to divest from fossil fuel companies. Unity College in Maine and Hampshire College in Massachusetts have already taken divestment action. Now, there are the beginnings of a 350.org campaign at UNM. Students for Justice in Palestine, along with many other Palestine solidarity groups, has called for boycotts, divestments and sanctions against Israel for its treatment of Palestinians and its occupation of Palestinian land. Chapters of this organization around the country have called for boycotts of Israeli products and pushed their universities to divest from Israeli companies and companies that benefit from the occupation of Palestine. The UNM Students for Justice in Palestine chapter is having an event Thursday at 6 p.m. in SUB Ballrooms A and B with one of the founders of this movement, Omar Barghouti, so you can go hear for yourself about the use of these tactics. These methods of nonviolent direct action have at times come under criticism. But historically, when these tactics have been used for social justice, they have created positive change in the world. In addition, compared to some of the alternatives, such as violent aggression, these tactics seem to be a very reasonable and effective option.

Violence twists those who venerate it by Peter Kindilien
Daily Lobo columnist opinion@dailylobo.com Through the glamorous lens of the entertainment industry, reality is filtered into themes that are easily digested by a not-toodisconcerted general public. Our legacy of genocide, slavery, racial injustice and the subculture of poverty it spawned is routinely and conveniently swept under the carpet, in favor of cultivating juvenile forms of hero worship and glorifying violence as the only rational, effective and efficient approach to conflict resolution. The silly premise that the social injustices tearing at the fabric of modern society can be rectified through the gratuitous use of firepower, spinning back kicks and unlimited ammo would be humorous were it not so dangerous and self-defeating. Hollywood fabricates a tragically warped vision of the world outside our personal experience. In Westerns, the good guy is white, handsome, clean-shaven, well-groomed and morally pure. It is implied that the adversary — unshaven, sweaty and dirty — harbors immoral intentions and an unsavory predilection toward evil. People of color, more often than not, are given roles perpetuating cultural stereotypes, building on an unnatural but ongoing Caucasian phobia of darker skin. Advertisers, trained in the art of creating need and selling gratification, now take into account that a growing percentage of the domestic market is ethnically diverse. It took a long time for them to come to this realization, but their pragmatism is slowly superseding prejudice, in the interest of revenue. War flicks glorify nationalism and
sacrifice by the allies, while violations of international law are only addressed when perpetrated by the enemy. Accurately penetrating this elaborate web of deception requires a resolute and inquisitive persistence. History, written honestly, diverges extensively from the myths perpetuated by cinematic dramatization and from the romantic drivel spoon-fed by our whitewashed assembly-line public education. The path to any kind of “true enlightenment” is systemically blocked by design, in favor of producing a docile workforce that can be manipulated by fear and the empty promises of lifelong security and comfort.
Women continue to be routinely consigned to the traditional demeaning roles of vacant eye candy. In Iraq, news of torture and other unethical treatment of POWs exposed the U.S. to global accusations of hypocrisy and rampant religious bigotry in our military ranks. There is an investigation and hearing into the British Army’s perverse abuse of virtually every Iraqi they detained. But I’ll venture that future public school students in the United Kingdom and the U.S. will be spared these embarrassing and compromising details, because the winner pens the tale of history. Nor are they likely to find reference to the endemic sexual abuse of female military members
by their male comrades-in-arms, or to the underlying causes of the escalating rate of suicide among our combat veterans. Inevitably, we learn that war is not glorious, that we are really all the same and many of the things we were taught were wrong. We can’t shoot, detonate, kick or punch our way out of corruption, fiscal mismanagement, global warming or any of the other forms of white-collar crime that plague us. The majority of TV and movie producers, writers and directors apparently are not up to the challenge of creating characters who exhibit the capacity for introspection and personal growth. Fortunately for them, it has proven more convenient and profitable to increasingly appeal to our basest and most incorrectly informed instincts by serving up a spectacular, if mind-numbing, potpourri of inane slaughter and vapid dialogue. Women continue to be routinely consigned to the traditional, demeaning roles of vacant eye candy, destined to be nothing more than the spoils of victory for the heroes. It is a fact that words and images do not kill, and that nobody can accurately assess the influence that movies, shows, video games and their compadre — the evening news — have on society in general or in particular. But if the color blue symbolizes tranquility, then our culture emits dark red as we continue to reject wisdom and the pursuit of social harmony, in favor of the glorification and immortalization of male hormonal rage and a pathological obsession with swift and rectifying vengeance. Consider the prospects for our country 100 years from now if we continue to allow ourselves to be exploited by the same old, tired, worthless propaganda.

Jeri Clausing / AP Photo Mandi Smith, of Fort Campbell, Ky., is reunited with her dog, Pooka, Wednesday, at the Albuquerque International Sunport Airport. The Chihuahua-dachshund mix, also known as a chiweenie, disappeared from her yard 18 months ago and was found wandering the streets 1,200 miles away in Espanola, N.M., in January. The dog was traced to Smith by her microchip, but how she got to New Mexico is a mystery.

the now full-grown dog would be welcomed into a much larger household. With Pooka missing, Smith got two new dogs, a German Shepherd and a German Shepherd mix, because “I was depressed.” And Smith recently gave birth to a fourth child. Nina Stively, community outreach manager at the Espanola Valley Humane Society, said
Pooka had recently given birth herself and was still nursing when she was found. Attempts to find her puppies were unsuccessful. The rest of the dog’s story and how she traveled more than 1,220 miles to New Mexico, however, will likely forever remain a mystery. “I have no idea,” she said. “And she’s not talking.”

Twins team up to sell comics, games Allred twins built their own business, Twin Suns by Justin Brough
culture@dailylobo.com A heated battle between a horde of green, plastic fanged beasts and figurine space marines found a home Saturday afternoon, wedged inside a room of comic books and card games. Twin Suns Comic Books & Game Center is a comic book and game store hidden among a crowd of eateries and a grocery store on the West Side of Albuquerque. Drew and Josh Allred, 29-year-old twin brothers, own and manage Twin Suns. The store’s name is both a reference to the twin suns of the Star Wars fictional planet Tatooine and a pun, Josh Allred said.
“We were leaning toward Wondertwins Comics, because that would have been really cheesy,” Drew Allred said. “But one night when we were drinking, Josh came up with Twin Suns, and the next day we thought ‘Hey, that’s not bad!’” Twin Suns sells new and used comic books, as well as board games and miniature figurines. The store also hosts open gaming sessions and tournaments every day of the week for games such as HeroClix and Warhammer. But the store’s chief offering is the trading card game Magic: The Gathering. Twin Suns provides Magic products and hosts frequent tournaments. Josh Allred said he wished their store’s exterior bore more resemblance to a Star Wars spaceport. “If I could, I would make it look like the Mos Eisley spaceport on the outside, but they won’t let me do

Erotic Fixation
Two men dragged a screaming woman off the dance floor at Evolution Nightclub Saturday night, covered her mouth with a rag and bound her in the fetal position with green plastic wrap. A brief kiss later, they left her whimpering in the corner as a security guard with an earpiece and studded boots guarded her from the crowd. To an unsuspecting bystander, it appeared the woman was assaulted. In reality, she knew it was going to happen; it was a planned fetish performance-art piece. Such performance pieces are common at Sanctuary Above the Crypt, a monthly event typically held at Evolution Nightclub. Sanctuary Above the Crypt owner and promoter Daniel Fukken Denial (a stage name) said goths aren’t the only ones who come to his events. “My crowd is still even mixed,” Denial said. “There’s geeks, nerds, hippies, goths, punks, drag queens. You name it, I’ve seen them all there.” The performances are often led by Jack D. Nimble, the alter ego character of Julian Wolf, who is an educator on topics such as bondage, domination and sadomasochism. “It’s a quote that’s not original to me, but ‘Fear is an underestimated aphrodisiac,’” Wolf said. “And it’s true. It stimulates all the same cortexes in the brain as other sorts of stimulation.” Wolf, a former sexual-health
lecturer at CNM, travels the country giving demonstrations on flogging, wax play and role playing. She said sadomasochism is often confused with abuse, but in fact, the nonegalitarian relationships are based on consent. “If you are being coerced, it’s abuse,” Wolf said. “If you do not want to do it, it’s abuse. If at any point you said, ‘no,’ and it was ignored, it’s abuse. If you’re engaging with someone under the age of 18, it’s abuse. It’s kind of a long and hazy list.” Wolf, who is polyamorous and a member of the kink movement, said everybody has their own threshold of comfort, which is why she talks to her sexual partners before engaging in any activity. As a polyamorist, Wolf has romantic and sexual relationships with more than one person. They discuss safe words — words that mean there’s something wrong with the activity — as well as safe sex practices. “There’s a dark side to it, but there’s a dark side to anything that involves humans,” Wolf said. “If my friend Melanie wants to play, for example … and we have never talked about sex-
ual relationships before, we negotiate it. I’m like ‘What if it comes up?’ And she’s like ‘As long as it’s in the confines of a scene, then absolutely.’” Wolf has multiple sexual partners of both genders. She sees some every day and others twice per year, and her partners typically have multiple sexual partners as well. She said she rarely gets jealous when her partners engage with others, but when she does, it’s because she hasn’t seen them in a while, not because they are enjoying themselves with others. “‘Compersion’ is the opposite of jealousy: when you’re really happy that somebody else is happy,” she said. “I will get a little ‘woo’ (jealous) if somebody else gets to take my boyfriend out for dinner and I didn’t, but as long as I get those quality moments, then it’s fine. I’m not hardwired to be upset.” Wolf grew up in a conservative family, attended church and led her church’s drama troupe. She said she began to realize she was queer in high school, but didn’t officially come out until later. “I have been a freak, a weird
person, one of those crazy people, my entire life,” Wolf said. “Do I get bummed out some days, on occasion? Less and less.” Wolf said she makes enough money to pay the bills through teaching and educating. Now she does freelance consulting, but she said when she had a regular job, she didn’t actively hide her lifestyle from people at work, though she dressed conservatively and didn’t bring it up. Wolf was once fired after she was accused of discussing fellatio in the workplace, which she said she never
did. She sued the company and the case was settled outside of court in her favor. Wolf studied theater at UNM, which translated into her career. She said she loves the theater aspect of her job, especially when she can recite classic quotes from Dante at the Launchpad as part of a show. “For me, the stage and film is where I get to be the bad guy; it’s where I get to be Jack, but I also can be very satisfied from a successful vocal performance,” Wolf said. “I’ve been performing my entire life.”

Energy drink abuse on the rise by Garance Burke
The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — The young man stumbled into the emergency room late one night after a house party, saying his heart wouldn’t stop pounding and he could barely breathe after downing liquor mixed with energy drinks. Emergency physician Steve Sun soon found the patient was so dehydrated he was going into kidney failure — one of many troubling cases Sun says he has treated in recent years tied to energy drink consumption. Sun’s changing caseload appears in line with a new government survey that suggests the number of people seeking emergency treatment after consuming energy drinks has doubled nationwide during the past four years, the same period in which the supercharged drink industry has surged in popularity in convenience stores, bars and on college campuses. “Five years ago, perhaps I would see one or two cases every three months or so. Now we’re consistently seeing about two cases per month,” said Sun, assistant medical director of the emergency department at St. Mary’s Medical Center, on the edge of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. From 2007 to 2011, the government estimates the number of emergency room visits involving the neon-labeled beverages shot up from about 10,000 to more than 20,000. Most of the cases involved teens or young adults, according to the survey of the nation’s hospitals released late last week by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. More than half of the patients considered in the survey told doctors they had consumed only energy drinks. In 2011, about 42 percent of the cases involved energy drinks in combination with alcohol or drugs, such as the stimulants Adderall or Ritalin. The beverage industry says energy drinks are safe and there is no proof linking the products to adverse reactions. The report doesn’t specify which symptoms brought people
to the emergency room, but it calls energy drink consumption a “rising public health problem” that can cause insomnia, nervousness, headache, fast heartbeat and seizures that are severe enough to require emergency care. Several emergency physicians said they had seen a clear uptick in the number of patients suffering from irregular heartbeats, anxiety and heart attacks who said they had recently downed an energy drink. “A lot of people don’t realize the strength of these things. I had someone come in recently who had drunk three energy drinks in an hour, which is the equivalent of 15 cups of coffee,” said Howard Mell, an emergency physician in the suburbs of Cleveland, who serves as a spokesman for the American College of Emergency Physicians. “Essentially he gave himself a stress test and thankfully he passed. But if he had a weak heart or suffered from coronary disease and didn’t know it, this could have precipitated very bad things.” The findings came as concerns over energy drinks have intensified following reports last fall of 18 deaths possibly tied to the drinks and so-called energy shots — including a 14-year-old Maryland girl whose family filed a lawsuit after she drank two large cans of Monster Energy drinks and died. Monster says its products were not responsible for the death. Two senators are calling for the Food and Drug Administration to investigate safety concerns about energy drinks and their ingredients. Late last year, the FDA asked the U.S. Health and Human Services to update the figures its substance abuse research arm compiles about emergency room visits tied to energy drinks. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s survey was based on responses it receives from about 230 hospitals each year, a representative sample of about 5 percent of emergency departments nationwide. The agency then uses those responses to estimate the number of energy drink-related emergency department visits nationwide. The more than 20,000 cases estimated for 2011 represent a small portion of the annual 136 million
emergency room visits tracked by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The FDA said it was considering the findings and pressing for more details as it undertakes a broad review of the safety of energy drinks and related ingredients this spring. “We will examine this additional information … as a part of our ongoing investigation into potential safety issues surrounding the use of energy-drink products,” FDA spokeswoman Shelly Burgess said in a statement. Beverage manufacturers fired back at the survey, saying the statistics were misleading and taken out of context. “This report does not share information about the overall health of those who may have consumed energy drinks, or what symptoms brought them to the ER in the first place,” the American Beverage Association said in a statement. “There is no basis by which to understand the overall caffeine intake of any of these individuals — from all sources.” Energy drinks remain a small part of the carbonated soft drinks market, representing only 3.3 percent of sales volume, according to the industry tracker Beverage Digest. Even as soda consumption has flagged in recent years, energy drinks sales are growing rapidly. In 2011, sales volume for energy drinks rose by almost 17 percent, with the top three companies — Monster, Red Bull and Rockstar — each logging double-digit gains, Beverage Digest found. The drinks are often marketed at sporting events that are popular among younger people such as surfing and skateboarding. From 2007 to 2011, the most recent year for which data was available, people from 18 to 25 were the most common age group seeking emergency treatment for energy drink-related reactions, the report found. “We were really concerned to find that in four years the number of emergency department visits almost doubled, and these drinks are largely marketed to younger people,” said Al Woodward, a senior statistical analyst with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration who worked on the report.

El Ten Eleven, Slow Magic, The Rip Torn
Floozy
Launchpad Saturday, Feb. 2 at 9:30 p.m. 21+ $8
El Ten Eleven is a two-man instrumental band with the musical approach of a six- or seven-man band. Layers of guitars, bass, keyboards and drums crinkle throughout El Ten Eleven’s music.
Low Spirits Tuesday, Feb. 26 at 9 p.m. 21+ $5
Floozy is a local trio of women who can play everything from brooding jazz to upbeat folk tunes. Between playing covers of Dolly Parton and the Beastie Boys, Floozy will be dropping its debut album at this album release performance.
Very few bands include a washboard as a noted instrument, but Southern country group The Ben Miller Band takes this credential in stride. This band performs the very definition of Southern twang.
For Your Consideration: “Spoons” is a bluegrass folktale that spirals together a story of the gallows with a rather fierce spoons solo.
Silverstein, Like Moths to Flames, Secrets, GlassCloud, Issues
KND: Kids Next Door, Gaddo Spekktakk, Mallie, Quwali, D-Sik
Sunshine Theater Friday, Feb. 8 at 7 p.m. 13+ $15
Oh, poor bands from the early to mid-2000s. As with most millenials, Silverstein’s awkward growing-pain years of guy-liner and tight jeans have done the band no justice. However, its most recent material provides a worthwhile dose of pop-punk. For Your Consideration: Lackluster screams aside, “Massachusetts” packs a punch with driven drums and a catchy chorus.
The Ben Miller Band
Outpost Performance Space Saturday, Feb. 16 at 7 p.m. All ages $12
For Your Consideration: El Ten Eleven’s “My Only Swerving” features contemplative guitar lines akin to Modest Mouse and Ratatat-esque drum beats.
For Your Consideration: Harmonica, washboard and banjo unite in “Follow You Down,” an earnest deep-South tune.
Coheed and Cambria, Between the Buried and Me, Russian Circles
Sunshine Theater Wednesday, Feb. 27 at 8 p.m. 13+ $25
Launchpad Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m. 13+ $5 No, this event doesn’t include a return from the late, great cartoon show “Kids Next Door.” KND is a local hip-hop duo that has caught the attention of quite a few hip-hop blogs. Members Benz Shelton and Nick Nuvo tend to spit 100 words a minute, and their beats are definitely catchy. For Your Consideration: “Say You Like Me” features an upbeat piano track, while Shelton and Nuvo trade-off lines while name-dropping Albuquerque.

Coheed and Cambria, Between the Buried and Me and Russian Circles round out three very different facets of metal. Like a well-concocted suicide soda, i.e., one composed of every flavor in the fountain, Coheed and Cambria’s ‘80s-influenced metal meshes well with Between the Buried and Me’s bruising chords and the noodling guitars of Russian Circles. For Your Consideration: Coheed and Cambria’s “The Suffering” is an ode to pop-metal, with lead singer Claudio Sanchez reaching a high vocal squeak that would make Rush’s Geddy Lee look the other way.

token, you own your job.

The tournament, held once every three months, pitted Twin Suns’ Magic players against regulars from other gaming shops in the Albuquerque area.
“It promoted playing at your store’s weekly events, and every quarter, you’d be invited to a free tournament,” Josh Allred said. “Everybody’s always excited to play for some free cards, and in the bigger scope of things, it can bring a better community to all the players and the stores.” But the store’s partner in the Gladiator Tournament, Ares Wargames, had to close its doors last
