Santa Fe students build solar car by Robert Nott

The Santa Fe New Mexican SANTA FE — The Santa Fe High Bomber is ready to take on all comers — even though it spent much of its initial test drive in an unexpected pit stop the morning of Feb. 6. Students in the school’s automotive, automotive-collision and welding classes teamed up to build the 8-foot-long, 200-pound solar-electric midget car — made out of fiberglass and other materials — over the past 18 months. Senior Joaquin Piñeda sat in the driver’s seat as he prepared to test the car’s speed, stability and safety. “This is all about the kids learning through trial by error,” said welding instructor Al Trujillo, the forever-cheerful educational ringleader of the ensemble. He got a $60,000 Carl Perkins grant to fund the project. Perkins grants generally focus on vocational and technical programs. Trujillo divided the participating students into four work groups: the electric/solar team, the fabrication team, the engineering team and the body-andpaint team. A lot of school staffers suggested the students use the school’s colors, blue and gold, but the students chose the classic World

Actually, there’s an electric switch on the dashboard. Piñeda was chosen as the driver because of his weight: 164 pounds. The vehicle requires someone light, but not too light — “not Porky Pig,” one bystander

said — to man the controls. About 20 of the students who worked on the car, as well as another dozen students from a nearby Advanced Placement science class, stood by as Piñeda awaited Trujillo’s signal to start. Trujillo said this was the car’s first official test run. It was slated to travel about 50 yards down the pavement outside one of the shops on Santa Fe High’s south campus. Trujillo and some of

the kids said it would be able to reach speeds in the 40 to 50 mph range. They planned to time it. At about 11:30 a.m., Trujillo yelled “Go!” The car began moving. Slowly. It made the 50 yards, barely inching to the finish line at the rate of about 5 mph. “What happened?” one of the students yelled as the car spurted along.

Although UNM is a nationally recognized arboretum, therefore supposed to be filled with rare tree species, the University has at times had to cut down historic trees. UNM President Robert Frank said the University cut down one such historic tree near the University House in September. The tree was a goldenrain, about 100 years old, and Frank said it was cut down because beetles had infested the tree. He said the beetles posed a large problem to the University House, where he resides. “The beetles were big and they were in our house,” he said. “All we wanted is to get all the beetles out of our house. The beetles were bad, but losing the tree was sad.” But Frank said cutting it down was not entirely his decision. “The infestation was at a level that it couldn’t be treated,” he said. “We would not have undertaken this without any guidance. We did not cut down the tree on our own.” Gary Smith, the Physical Plant Department’s associate director for environmental services, maintenance and operations, said the infestation was severe and could have caused the tree to fall down and injure people or property. He said the removal cost the department $1,323. Smith said PPD is the only entity authorized by the University to remove trees on campus. He said that although it was unfortunate to have cut down a historic tree, the department did it to uphold campus safety. “It’s part of doing business at a public educational institution,” he said. “You don’t base decisions of this type on emotional attachments. One has to have the safety and well-being of the campus community foremost in mind.” Smith said that because trees in an urban setting such as UNM normally only live for 40 years, the goldenrain had a very long life by comparison. Frank said no tree has been cut down on campus since the goldenrain. Smith said there are 13,000 trees on campus, including the approximately 1,000 trees PPD planted during the last decade.

Panel OKs health care exchange by Barry Massey

The Associated Press SANTA FE — Democratic lawmakers pushed ahead Tuesday with a proposal to establish a staterun health insurance exchange, despite objections from the insurance industry and Republican Gov. Susana Martinez. The House Health, Government and Indian Affairs Committee approved the measure on a party-line vote, with Democrats in favor and Republicans opposed. The exchange is envisioned as an online shopping center for people and small businesses to buy health coverage from private insurance companies. Those plans must have a package of health benefits tailored to New Mexico, and the exchange is to make it easier to compare plans by price, benefits and quality. Under federal law, the exchange must be ready for enrollment in October and be fully operating by next January. Rep. Mimi Stewart (D-Albuquerque) said the proposal was the product of several weeks of negotiations with the Martinez administration over how to implement an exchange operated by the New Mexico Health Insurance Alliance, a nonprofit public corporation established in 1994 to provide access to insurance for small businesses and some individuals. Stewart and other Democrats contend the Legislature must

approve changes in state law for the exchange to have the power to operate and meet federal requirements for serving uninsured New Mexicans. The Martinez administration initially had maintained it could set up an exchange without legislation by using the alliance, but it has been negotiating with lawmakers to avoid a possible court fight over the issue. However, differences remain between Democrats and the governor — particularly over the powers of the exchange’s proposed governing board. “We would like to move to a more market-driven model,” Matt Kennicott of the Human Services Department told the committee. Insurance company representatives echoed that objection, as did several GOP committee members. The legislation would allow the exchange’s governing board to decide whether a health plan, if it met federal and state standards, would be offered through the exchange. Kennicott and insurance industry officials said any qualified health plan should be available through the exchange’s marketplace. The state insurance regulator will determine whether health plans provide necessary benefits and meet other requirements. Kennicott said the administration hoped to continue negotiations with lawmakers. The legislation will revamp the governing board of the alliance,

which Stewart said was currently too heavily tilted in favor of the insurance industry. There would be a 13-member governing board under the proposal approved by the committee. Nine of those would represent small employers and their employees. There would be one consumer representative and one board member representing the insurance industry. The cabinet secretary of the Human Services Department would serve on the board along with the state’s insurance superintendent, who could vote only to break ties. The governor would appoint seven of the board members, including the department secretary, and legislators would name five members. “The governor gave a bunch. We gave a bunch, and came up with a compromise,” said Stewart. The legislation faces a long journey in the Democratic-controlled Legislature. It must clear another House committee before reaching the 70-member House for a vote. It also would need to pass the Senate. Nearly 200,000 New Mexicans may be able to buy health insurance through the exchange between 2014 and 2020. Some uninsured won’t need to use the exchange because they will become eligible for health care through Medicaid, which New Mexico is expanding under terms of the federal health care law that provides for insurance exchanges.

“At least it’s moving!” one of the female bystanders said. Another male student tried to explain it all: “We actually tried it out about an hour ago, and it was working kind of good. And then it kind of broke down.” It was pit-stop time, and the students gathered around the Santa Fe High Bomber and began dismantling her. Trujillo urged them on: “It’s OK. You find out things that go wrong before a race. You don’t want it happening during a race.” Someone said maybe it was a matter of sprockets rubbing up against a shaft. But it turns out a spindle broke off from the hub, cracking one of the nuts along the way. “What was its time?” someone asked Trujillo of the car’s speed. “Funny guy,” he replied, laughing again. Meanwhile, class adviser Dan Baker — who runs the greenfriendly envirokarma.org website and consults on vehicle conversions to all-electric cars — showed the students his larger 2,000-pound electric car, which cost about $11,000 in parts and 150 hours of labor. It can make 20,000 miles with the help of a battery and last up to 100,000 miles if those batteries get replaced or recharged, he said. “The best thing about it? It’s zero maintenance,” he told the students. The students will next build a car that size, Trujillo said. They’re

looking for someone to donate a light but sturdy car frame for their project. Baker said once the car is completed, Trujillo’s class can rent it or sell it to raise funds for the vocational/technical programs on campus. He pointed out that this sort of project is part of vocational/ technical class concept — mixing chemistry with math with engineering with automotive work. “What better way to keep kids in schools than with cars?” he asked. Trujillo said he’d rather give the car to new Superintendent Joel Boyd. “He’s young and new and talks about exciting new ideas,” he said. “So what better young, new, exciting thing to try than to have him drive an electric car built by the city’s flagship high school?” But he and his class haven’t given up on the miniature Santa Fe High Bomber. “It’s the fastest and best car in the state,” Trujillo said. He hopes other schools that have solar-electric cars will challenge the Bomber to a race. And that the Bomber actually moves fast, should such a race occur, of course.

Please keep feelings about privates private Editor’s note: This is in response to the column “Never let your love go unheard,” published in Wednesday’s Daily Lobo. In his column, Don Schrader reminisces about his lover who died in 1989. Mr. Schrader, I am very sorry for the pain you have experienced, and I applaud your telling people to be mindful of showing love to the people in their life. I was taken aback, however, near the end of your essay when you described your visits to the cemetery. Was it really necessary to say you kiss the grass “above his cock?” Whether a relationship is gay or straight, it’s best to keep your sexual feelings about each other private. You obviously had a deep, loving relationship with your friend, but you kind of just walked into the homophobic stereotype that gay relationships are “all about sex.” Jennifer Smith UNM student

Serve and protect, not slay and punish by Alexandra Swanberg Opinion editor opinion@dailylobo.com

The Albuquerque Police Department’s reputation is quickly biting the dust. Following an increase in APD officers wrongly shooting citizens, the Department of Justice began investigating APD. In Tuesday’s Daily Lobo, we published an article about a forum in which citizens spoke of their experience with APD (see “Feds host forums on APD”). These accounts of families losing loved ones at the hands of police essentially paint a picture of slaughter-happy officers prowling the streets for their next victims. To some extent, I agree that police have become more like punishers than protectors. I have talked to several people who say they are nervous when police are around when they haven’t done anything that would warrant police interrogation. It’s troubling that people involved in heavy drug use would often rather let a person die of an overdose than take them to the hospital, for fear of criminal prosecution. There

are many problems the police can help with, but I don’t think drug use is a threat to anyone but the person using drugs. Drug-related crimes, such as theft and battery, are one thing, but punishing someone for drug possession or use can only make things worse. There is a powerful documentary about the war on drugs called “The House I Live In.” I recommend the film to anybody who doubts the efficacy of police involvement in drug abuse. The producers interviewed everyone involved in the war on drugs, including judges, drug offenders and their families, police officers and border patrol. Although it was emotionally touching, the film made solid points. All the war has done is make people into criminals. It has not solved the underlying issue, and everyone interviewed supported this fact. Just as criminalizing people with substance-abuse issues does not solve a drug problem, demonizing police officers does not address the real issue. The Daily Lobo article reports that the DOJ is focused on “the use of unreasonable force by police.” The district attorney may prosecute individual officers, but

the DOJ is more interested in what has led to the trend of unjustified shootings. I applaud this effort, as I would hate for police as a whole to be deemed criminals in the eyes of citizens. I have had more positive run-ins with the law than negative ones. I found myself walking alone in the valley one night, and just as a truck started to slow down next to me, a police officer pulled up. Not only did he scare off the truck, but he gave me a ride. I was pulled over on my scooter a couple of years ago for a broken taillight. The officer did not ticket me. He was concerned for my safety alone. “Do you want me to follow you to your house? I would just hate for a drunk driver to hit you because they can’t see you.” I hope the DOJ investigation will result in an evolution in the mindset of everyone who carries a weapon, especially the people who are paid to protect the general population. They need to view us as valuable parts of society, not just problems, targets, money to be made or ways to fill a quota.

FROM THE WEB Readers responded online to the letter “Nearby probation office contributes to campus crime,” published in Friday’s Daily Lobo. In her letter, Susan Michie recalls recent oncampus sexual assaults to support her argument that the probation office on Monte Vista Boulevard is the culprit of relatively high incidents of crime in the UNM area. by “CodyA” “I like that there are actually police officers there constantly, though. I think that in itself could deter crime. We do have a ton of mentally ill, drug-addicted and alcoholic homeless people around the Nob Hill area because of, in my opinion, its proximity to all the hospitals, especially UNMH. People get released from the hospital after an OD, mental breakdown or drunken fight, and just kind of stay in the area, having little means of transportation. Plus there’s just all these nice, young college students always giving them money when they’re begging — why the hell leave?”

by “Observer” “Since I have observed and reported a parole-office client walking a residential Nob Hill alley and looking into the backyards as he made his way to the parole office, I have reason to believe a parole office does not belong in a residential neighborhood.” by “Reader” “Michie’s letter makes sense to me. Is there a way for the campus police to determine whether an offender is a probationer, or would that be violating his or her privacy?” by “Spencer Nelson” “Right now, the parole office, UNM police and APD could start keeping some records of whether or not people arrested in the area have some connection with the parole office. Of course, few small crimes are resolved immediately, but some are.”

by “concerned citizen too” “Sounds like another ‘not-in-my-neighborhood’ complaint. Until you have facts that substantiate your claims that these people on probation are the actual perpetrators of campus crime, I don’t see the logic in your request to move the office. Say the probation office does move out of this office building. Who or what will take its place, or will this empty office building attract homeless people or drugs to the area? Be careful what you wish for.” by “walkthisway” in response to user “concerned citizen too” “I would be hard pressed to think of a replacement that would be worse than a probation office. The current location does nothing to deter homeless people, and basically invites more drug offenders into the area every day. As for facts about perpetrators in the campus area, the city does not publish stats on where repeat offenders are committing crimes, but the campus area has one of the highest crime rates in the city. Could there be a connection?”

Australian crocodile that measured more than 17 feet and weighed nearly a ton. The crocodile was named Lolong, after a government environmental officer who died from a heart attack after traveling to Bunawan to help capture the beast. The crocodile, estimated to be more than 50 years old, was blamed for a few brutal deaths of villagers before Bunawan folk came to love it. The giant reptile has come to symbolize the rich bio-diversity of Agusan marsh, where it was captured. The vast complex of swamp forests, shallow lakes, lily-covered ponds and wetlands is home to wild ducks, herons, egrets and threatened species like the Philippine Hawk Eagle. Wildlife experts were to perform an autopsy as early as Monday to determine the cause of its death, Elorde said. Bunawan villagers planned to perform a tribal ritual, which involves butchering chicken and pigs as funeral offerings to thank forest spirits for the fame and other blessings the crocodile has brought, Elordie said. A group of Christians would separately offer prayers before the autopsy. The rites would be held at the ecotourism park, where the reptile had

emerged as a star attraction, drawing foreign tourists, scientists and wildlife reporting outfits like the National Geographic to Bunawan, a far-flung town of 37,000 people about 515 miles outheast of Manila. The crocodileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capture in September 2011 sparked celebrations in Bunawan, but it also raised concerns that more giant crocodiles might lurk in a marshland and creek where villagers fish. The crocodile was captured with steel cable traps during a hunt prompted by the death of a child in 2009 and the later disappearance of a fisherman. Water buffalos have also been attacked by crocodiles in the area. About 100 people led by Elorde pulled the crocodile from a creek using a rope and then hoisted it by crane onto a truck. Philippine officials had planned to construct a road to the park to accommodate the growing number of tourists, Elorde said, adding that he planned to have the crocodile preserved and placed in a museum so Bunawan villagers and tourists could still marvel at it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like them to see the crocodile that broke a world record and put our town on the map,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The Associated Press JOHANNESBURG — Oscar Pistorius’ track career was put on hold indefinitely Sunday because of his murder charge, reinforcing the possibility that the double-amputee Olympian and disabled sports icon might never run again competitively on his famous carbon fiber blades. Pistorius’ agent was forced to cancel all future races, he said, so Pistorius could concentrate on defending himself against allegations he murdered his model girlfriend by shooting her several times in his upscale house on Valentine’s Day morning. Reeva Steenkamp died from gunshot wounds suffered inside Pistorius’ home in the predawn hours of Thursday. Pistorius was arrested and charged with her murder the same day. His family denies he murdered her. “I have decided that following these tragic events that we have no option but to cancel all future races that Oscar Pistorius had been contracted to compete in,” agent Peet van Zyl said in a written statement

late Sunday night. A few hours earlier, Van Zyl had visited his athlete at a police station in the South African capital, Pretoria, where he is being held in custody in a red-bricked, one-story building with green metal fencing. Pistorius has been there since Friday following the shocking developments at his villa in a gated community in Pretoria’s eastern suburbs where Steenkamp was shot dead. Her death and Pistorius’ arrest stunned South Africans, who revered Pistorius for his humble nature and success at overcoming adversity to become an international star, despite having his lower legs amputated as a baby. Pistorius still had “overwhelming support” from his fans, Van Zyl said as he left Brooklyn police station, but the agent steered away from a question from a reporter on what Pistorius’ emotional state was now like following the death of his girlfriend and a possible realization that his entire career was in ruins. Pistorius’ sponsors — including big-name brands Nike and eyewear manufacturer Oakley — were also sticking by him, Van Zyl said.

But that could depend on the outcome of a possibly lengthy murder trial. “Regarding sponsors and partners, I can confirm that at this point in time, all parties are supportive and their contractual commitments are maintained,” Van Zyl’s In Site Athlete Management company said. “They have said they are happy to let the legal process takes its course before making any change in their position.” The Beaverton, Ore-based Nike Inc. and Foothill Ranch, Calif.based Oakley Inc. did not immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press seeking comment. Pistorius was quickly arrested and charged with murder Thursday, with prosecutors saying at his first court appearance a day later that they would pursue a more serious premeditated murder charge, which carries a life sentence. Pistorius broke down and wept in the court, with his face in his hands. His family later denied he murdered Steenkamp and said the state’s own evidence “strongly refutes” any possibility of a murder.

Anja Niedringhaus / AP photo In this Aug. 5, 2012 file photo, South Africa’s Oscar Pistorius starts in the men’s 400-meter semifinal during the athletics in the Olympic Stadium at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Paralympic superstar Pistorius was charged Thursday with the murder of his girlfriend who was shot inside his home in South Africa. Family members and his lawyers also visited Pistorius on Sunday, but declined comment both when they arrived and when they left the city center police station. The family of Steenkamp, a model, law graduate and budding reality TV star, told The Associated

Press that her body had been released by police after an autopsy and was back in their hometown of Port Elizabeth on South Africa’s southern coast. “Reeva is back home,” the late model’s brother, Adam Steenkamp, told the AP by phone.

There’s no place like home UNM wins 5 of 6 games at the Lobo Classic

by Christian Naranjo sports@dailylobo.com @cnaranjo7

Congratulate

The only thing that could stop Lauren Soles’ pitching dominance on Sunday afternoon was a scheduled flight time. The left-handed freshman pitcher garnered her second collegiate win with a five-inning, no-hitter performance against Central Michigan University during the UNM Lobo Classic on Sunday. The final game of the invite was shortened to five innings because the Chippewas had planned to finish the tournament by 3:15 p.m. to make their flight home on time. Soles helped UNM (5-8) thump CMU by a score of 4-0. The left-hander faced 16 batters and delivered six strikeouts in five innings of work. On Saturday, Soles earned her first collegiate win with a 3-1 triumph against Bradley. “To have my first collegiate win and my first no-hitter in the same weekend was surprising to me,” she said. “What worked for me

was knowing that my team was behind me.” Head coach Erica Beach said Soles’ outing provided a lift to the team that will continue. “Lauren stepped up. She’s a high-level pitcher with a great off-speed pitch,” Beach said. “There was only one batter she did not throw a first-pitch strike to. She’s continuing to grow every weekend.” Before Soles threw her no-hitter, the Lobos beat Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne 1-0 in extra innings on Sunday. The first seven innings provided zero runs from both squads. The tiebreaker rule came into play starting in the eighth inning, which meant that each team’s last out would start on second base at the beginning of the inning. The Lobos entered the bottom half of the eighth with senior outfielder Sheryl Guillermo on second. Junior infielder Jordan Sjostrand put Guillermo to third base following a sacrifice bunt. The Mastodons elected to walk Mariah Rimmer on the next at bat. Senior infielder Kaity Ingram

then drove a ball to deep right field to deliver Guillermo home for the walk-off win. Ingram said the game-winning hit was a gratifying moment in her career. “It’s exciting. Being a senior leader on the team, I just wanted to come up big for everyone,” she said. “The pitch surprised me but I just turned on it and got a good hit.” Freshman pitcher Lisa Rodrigues contributed eight innings with seven hits, four strikeouts and zero runs allowed. Beach said she hopes the weekend propels the team for the games to come. “This weekend was fantastic. It was a great time to be at home, collect wins and settle in,” Beach said. “I feel confident in saying that this will give us momentum heading into our future games.” On Friday, UNM defeated Hampton University 11-3. Later that night, New Mexico defeated CMU 4-1. The Lobos were handed their only defeat of the invite on Saturday when they lost to Hampton 7-2. New Mexico came back with a 3-1 victory against Bradley later that day.

percent, its lowest mark in 51 years. Even when the Lobos haven’t shot well, they’ve still found ways to win. During the 1961-62 season, UNM shot 37.4 percent and finished the year 6-20. Saturday’s win is the team’s eighth this year when shooting under 40 percent. “It was a gutty performance,” UNM head coach Steve Alford said. “We’re tired. We’re beat up. I knew it was going to be a very, very difficult game for us. The defensive performance: That was their lowest output of the year and this is a very good offensive team — probably the best statistical offensive team in the league.” For the first 13 minutes, junior guards Tony Snell and Kendall Williams accounted for nearly all of UNM’s offense, scoring 18 of the first 19 points. They finished with 12 points and 10 points, respectively. Bairstow sparked the offense in the first half’s later minutes by scoring nine points. UNM held a 29-23 halftime lead and remained at least a point ahead of the Broncos throughout the

second half. Boise State trailed 49-46 with five minutes remaining before its shooting dried up. UNM held the Broncos scoreless over four and a half minutes while building a 55-46 lead.

“This game was tough because Colorado State was tied with us and we are a game ahead of them.” ~Jamal Fenton senior guard Boise State’s final four points came in the last 46 seconds, all from Derrick Marks. With 19 points, he was the Broncos’ only double-digit scorer. Free-throw shooting worked to

UNM’s advantage. The Lobos, who made 19 of 25 free throws, took 15 more attempts than the Broncos. Boise State was 5 of 10 from the line. “They do a good job of that,” Boise State head coach Leon Rice said, referring to the Lobos. “They execute their offense. They put foul pressure on you. They’re disciplined. They’re just a rock-solid team is what I would say about that.” Sophomore center Alex Kirk had just six points but pulled down a team-high 12 rebounds. The Lobos will get some muchneeded time off this week. They do not have a Wednesday game, but will return to the court Saturday for a road game at Colorado State. Alford said the players will return to practice Tuesday after a couple of days off to recuperate. “It’s just been a long stretch between our bye weeks, and we’re just glad it comes at this point, because we have got to get healthy,” he said. “Our bigs are tired. So it comes at a really good time.”

inning with the last one coming off a sacrifice fly by senior shortstop Alex Allbritton. The Cowboys (2-1) scored their only run of the game in the fourth inning when senior catcher Victor Romero grounded out to first to bring home sophomore right fielder Zach Fish and cut the Lobos’ lead to 6-1. In the bottom of the sixth, Garver, who went 4-4 with three RBIs and was a home run shy of the cycle, hit a triple to left center field off OSU relief pitcher Vince Wheeland to score two more runs for a commanding 8-1 lead. Birmingham compared Garver to Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Johnny Bench. “That’s who Mitch Garver is and they don’t make many of him,” Birmingham said. “He’ll be on TV someday; that’s how good he is.” The Lobos added one more run in the bottom of the eighth

thanks to an RBI single by senior designated hitter Luke Campbell for a final score of 9-1.

“The last two nights were tough to watch because I thought we should’ve won both of those games” ~Sam Wolff senior pitcher The Cowboys intentionally walked Lobo junior third baseman DJ Peterson three times this weekend, and every time, Garver, who bats behind Peterson in the lineup, came up with a base hit. Garver said it’s his responsibility

to make teams pay for pitching around Peterson. “That’s why I’m there. I’m there to protect DJ, so if he gets on, all I have to do is get the ball in play,” Garver said. Birmingham said if the Lobos had played on their new turf field instead of the grass field of Isotopes Park, the outcome of the series would have been much different. “I truly believe that if we had played them at our facility, we would sweep them or have a shot at it,” he said. “Defense was obviously the difference in the first two ball games, and we played good defense today.” UNM lost the first game of the series 4-2 to OSU on Friday. On Saturday, the Lobos had a 14-8 eighth-inning lead but ended up losing 15-14 in 13 innings. In the first two games of the series UNM committed seven errors, while on Sunday the team committed just one.

Weekly Horoscopes by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Year Zero

Anything your heart desires, will come to you Capricorn—Your sign’s ruler, Saturn, goes into retrograde motion today, a period that won’t end until July. As frustrating as it may be, you’ll want to put new projects and ideas on the back burner for now, as progress will not be forthcoming. You can be productive by going over your progress thus far with a fine-tooth comb, figuring out where you went wrong and how you can do better once Saturn goes direct. Aquarius—You might find that lending structure to your life is exactly what you need right now, but this is likely to be an exercise in futility. With Pisces becoming increasingly influential in the cosmos over the next few weeks, everything is in flux and nothing is certain. You may think you know what you want, only to change your mind moments later. At this time, your professional life is under review, so if you’re looking for a focus to keep yourself steady, there you have it. Pisces—All the inner planets except Venus are in your sign this week, which means you’ve got a lot of power to work with. With the full moon coming up at the end of this week, the energy is going to be intense, lending itself especially to creative endeavors. Let yourself experience your emotions fully, but when you feel them getting out of control, you’ll want to pull back and release them in your own company. Aries—You might want to check your pockets, as you’ll likely find a gaping hole in one of them. Your finances are out of control, and this is the time for you to get a handle on the situation. Saturn is entering a period of retrograde motion, which lasts until July. During this time, your greatest strides will be made when you apply yourself with all you’ve got and approach matters with some sensibility. Try taking a break from society this week; you’re more critical

than usual. Taurus—Your will is slipping all over the place, slaloming back and forth like an Olympic skier. Do yourself a favor and go with it. Find a way to meet goals and be successful using this fluid motion. Avoid using unnecessary force, especially when it comes to controlling your future. Learn to let it be and have patience. The next several months are all about taking your time so you get it right, for good. Gemini—Work is going to be a major source of frustration from now until July, as Saturn enters a period of retrograde motion. At times, it will feel like no matter what you do, things just won’t go right. This may be a sign that you should consider making career changes, either by changing paths or the way in which you do your job. In the end, you will see this needed to happen. The stars are simply urging you in a new direction. Cancer—By the end of the week, your feelings toward the people in your life will be more heightened than ever before. Your tendency this week is toward extreme emotion, and it will be easy to distinguish between the people you truly love and those you should sever ties with. Don’t ignore these urges, as it’s time for you to rethink the people you keep around. If they are toxic, they aren’t truly valuable. Surround yourself with positive people. Leo—It’s a good week to revamp health and beauty routines. If you’re feeling like you’re in a rut, start by beautifying your home. This will leave you inspired and hungry for more. These improvements will not only leave you with added spring in your step, but will provide much-needed distraction for domestic and family troubles. These will be a source of aggravation in months to come. Breathe often and have patience. This too shall pass.

Virgo—It may feel as if your brain is lagging, though your physical energy is all over the place. You’re ready for action, a feeling which will only intensify closer to the full moon at the end of this week. However, it is not the time to make major headway on any projects or recent initiatives. More importantly, avoid starting anything major until July, unless you’ve been working out the details in advance of this week. Libra—Take some time to root around the house this week. Building security will be one of your top priorities over the next several months. Now is the time to develop a clear vision of what you want for the future. Dare to dream, as the potential is there for you to make these fantasies reality. The trick is to remain hopeful, even when your plans can’t be executed in the way you want them to be or as quickly. Scorpio—The pressure is letting up a bit, like a massive flood settling back into the river or lake. In the aftermath, you’ll spend much time rethinking what the heck just happened, and rightfully so. Your life over the past year has not been exactly what you expected, and it’s time to take the reins and drive where you truly want to go. From now until July, while Saturn is in retrograde motion, develop a clear sense of where your destiny lies. Sagittarius—The week may take on a heavy tone for you, but it should be easy enough for you to lighten the mood. Saturn is entering a period of retrograde motion, which will last until July. You should brace yourself for change, especially where financial responsibility is concerned. A wakeup call is coming your way, so avoid any unnecessary purchases. If you’re looking to take your mind off serious matters, you’ll find relief in any social gathering.

Lobos trample Cowboys 9-1 for ﬁrst season win Victory at Isotopes Park follows two losses to Oklahoma State

by Thomas Romero-Salas sports@dailylobo.com @ThomasRomeroS

After dropping its first two games of the season, the No. 21-ranked UNM baseball team bounced back with a 9-1 drubbing of Oklahoma State on Sunday at Isotopes Park. Senior starting pitcher Sam Wolff (1-0) threw 5 2/3 innings, allowed one run on three hits with five strikeouts and two walks. Wolff said the off-season work with pitching coach Dan Spencer has paid off. “The last two nights were tough to watch because I thought we should’ve won both of those games,” he said. “My mentality today was to get after it early.” Head coach Ray Birmingham called Wolff ’s outing the best of his Lobo career. “It was huge for us,” Birmingham said. “Dan Spencer has done a great job of cleaning up a kid who had been to three different places. This is his fourth pitching coach, and finally Dan Spencer cleaned him up.” UNM (1-2) struck first when senior catcher Mitch Garver hit an RBI single to plate sophomore outfielder Ryan Padilla, giving the Lobos a 1-0 in the bottom of the first. The Lobos would go on to score four more runs in the

Lobos shoot poorly but thrash Broncos

UNM wins 60-50, advances to 9-2 on the season By J.R. Oppenheim

Sophomore center Alex Kirk fights for a rebound against Boise State on Saturday at The Pit. Kirk grabbed a team-high 12 rebounds in the Lobos’ 60-50 victory over the Broncos. Juan Labreche Daily Lobo

In a battle between a potent offense and a stout defense, New Mexico’s defense won the day. The No. 19 Lobo men held Boise State, one of the best statistical teams in the Mountain West Conference, to a seasonlow point total in their 60-50 victory at The Pit Saturday night. The Broncos have not scored that low since Dec. 5 when they lost at Utah 76-55. UNM (22-4, 9-2 MWC) maintains a half-game lead in the league standings over Colorado State, which improved to 21-4, 8-2 after beating Air Force 89-86. Every other team has at least five losses in league play. “This game was tough because Colorado State was tied with us and we are a game ahead of them,” said senior guard Jamal Fenton, who, along with junior forward Chad Adams, matched a school-record mark of 102 career victories Saturday. Boise State averaged 74.9 points per game heading into the contest, shooting 46 percent from the field and 40 percent from the 3-point line. UNM forced the Broncos offense to 37 percent from the field and just 25 percent

from beyond the arc. Cameron Bairstow had the most difficult assignment. UNM’s junior forward guarded Boise State guard Jeff Elorriaga, the league’s top 3-point shooter. Bairstow kept pace with Elorriaga throughout the night, limiting the sharpshooter to one trey on nine attempts. Bairstow did the job on the offensive end as well, scoring a team-high 16 points. He made five of his eight shots from the field and added another six points from the foul line. “It was very different from what I am used to,” Bairstow said, referring to his assignment on Elorriaga. “I was fine if I was in front of him, but at the end they started setting up plays where he would get some shots off. I thought I was doing a decent job at it.” The Lobos managed another victory overcoming a low-shooting effort. UNM was 34.7 percent from the field (17 of 49), making just six second-half shots in 22 attempts. Fenton accounted for three of those six second-half field goals, all three pointers. He finished with 11 points, playing 23 minutes off the bench. Through the season’s 26 games, UNM has shot 41.4
