Activists protest proposed Syria strike

by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com @ArdeeTheJourno

Gabe Ortiz / Daily Lobo Lissie Perkal chants along with the crowd at a political protest Saturday. About 100 people attended the protest which sought to bring attention to a potential U.S. military strike in Syria.

Honks echoed in Nob Hill Saturday morning in response to local activists’ “Honk for Peace” signs as they protested the United States’ proposed intervention in the two-yearold civil war in Syria.

Sayrah Namaste, a member of (un)Occupy Albuquerque who helped organize the protest, said the protest aims to prevent a U.S. military strike in Syria. She said U.S. military action in the Middle Eastern country is against international law.

“I was very upset that the U.S. might illegally attack Syria,” she said.

“As American people, we need to say that we are opposed. We should not be involved in illegal military actions in Syria. This would be the ninth Arab country that the United States has attacked in 15 years. This is wrong.”

Talks about military intervention in Syria started among the permanent members of the United Nation Security Council last week after the U.N. started an investigation into Syrian President Bashar Assad’s possible use of chemical weapons against rebel forces. The five permanent members of the Security Council are China, France, Russia, the United

2013 MAYORAL RACE

3 candidates on gay marriage: for, against, and silent

by Ardee Napolitano news@dailylobo.com @ArdeeTheJourno

As the county clerk starts to mail absentee ballots today, Albuquerque mayoral candidates reacted to the recent legalization of same-sex marriage in Bernalillo County.

In a “marriage equality celebration” party he held at Sidewinders on Saturday night, Democratic mayoral candidate Pete Dinelli said he is thrilled that courts have ruled in favor of same-sex marriage, making it legal in Albuquerque. Dinelli said he is glad to see other New Mexico counties follow Bernalillo’s footsteps.

“As far as what has been happening with Albuquerque, I’m extremely proud of our community,” he said. “I’m delighted to see that it appears that the dominoes are starting to fall. The clerks in the state of New Mexico are acknowledging that our laws are, in fact, not gender-specific.”

The Bernalillo County Second Judicial District Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage on Aug. 26, making Bernalillo the third county in the state to allow same-sex marriage. Two weeks ago, Doña Ana County approved same-sex marriage, followed by Santa Fe County. On Aug. 27, San Miguel, Valencia and Taos Counties started handing out same-sex marriage licenses.

Bernalillo, Santa Fe and Taos Counties legalized same-sex marriage by court order, whereas Doña Ana, San Miguel and Valencia Counties legalized same-sex marriage by unilateral county clerk decisions.

Dinelli said he is optimistic that soon, same-sex marriage will be legal statewide.

“I really believe that New Mexico can go ahead and become the next state that will

Daily Lobo volume 118

issue 12

issue marriage licenses,” he said. “What’s been happening is just fantastic. We are now realizing the true meaning of civil rights.”

And he would strive to ensure that the ruling will last in the city, he said.

“I’ve always supported … marriage equality,” he said. “Two individuals who love each other and want to enter into a marriage should be allowed to do so. I’ve been married to my wife Betty for 29 years, and I recommend marriage to anybody.”

But Dinelli’s fellow mayoral challenger Republican Paul Heh said the ruling will not stick around. Heh said that to make the ruling concrete, the U.S. Congress should get involved.

“The other side’s going to appeal it, and it’s going to be appealed, appealed, appealed,” Heh said. “The Supreme Court should not be making our laws. Congress should be making our laws, but it doesn’t stand up and do anything.”

On Thursday, seven Republican state legislators filed a lawsuit against Doña Ana County Clerk Lynn Ellins for issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples without court authorization. On the same day, county clerks in the state voted to let the New Mexico Supreme Court determine the legality of same-sex marriage in the state.

Heh said marriage is a religious concept, and that the government should not interfere with people’s religious beliefs.

“It’s just a big mess, but there’s an easy fix in my estimation,” he said. “Marriage is steeped in tradition and is steeped in religion. And I don’t think there’s any court in the land that has any business sticking their noses into a religion and telling religions how they need to act.”

Instead, he said the government should allow civil unions, which would provide

“same rights and same opportunities that married couples have” to same-sex couples.

That way, the religious element of marriage would not be considered, he said, and civil unions would give same-sex couples the same legal benefits, such as health care, insurance and Social Security.

“All you’re doing is changing the name,” Heh said.

Heh said he has already spoken to gay communities in Albuquerque about civil unions. He said they have deemed civil unions “acceptable as long as they have the

same rights and opportunities that everybody else has.”

Although he said he is pessimistic about the ruling, Heh said he will not work to appeal it. But he said that he will work with the state government to allow civil unions statewide.

“Everybody should get the same opportunity,” he said. “Period.”

Dinelli said he congratulates Albuquerque for being a “very diverse and very tolerant city.” He said he will continue to support

Student wins special beauty pageant crown after tied score

When Briana Leigh Morfin was 5 years old, she remembers having her eye drawn to a sparkling crown worn by a homecoming queen at a parade. For a brief moment, the homecoming queen made eye contact with Morfin and waved, leaving Morfin with a feeling of special recognition.

Now as a national beauty pageant titleholder, Morfin said she hopes to channel the attention drawn by her crown into positive efforts, and to inspire young girls the way that homecoming queen inspired her.

“I want to give that attention and feeling back to other little girls. So every chance I get, I love to let little girls wear the crown,” Morfin said. “It makes their day. And who knows? Maybe I’ll be remembered by another little girl.”

Morfin, a 22-year-old broadcast journalism major at UNM, won the Pageant National Ms. 2013 title at a competition held in Orange, Calif., Aug. 13-18. It was the first national event for the new pageant circuit.

The win came as a shock to Morfin, she said, especially considering the circumstances.

The Pageant featured four age divisions: “Jr. teen” for ages 13 to 15; “Teen” for ages 16 to 19; “Miss” for ages 20 to 26;

volume 118

and “Ms.” for ages 27 to 35. But Morfin said there were no women in the oldest age category and the contestants assumed there would be no Ms. winner.

The Miss title came down to Morfin and Heidi Schmidt, who represented California; Schmidt won.

After Schmidt took her celebratory walk across the stage, Morfin said emcee Lana Henry announced that there was still one crown to be awarded. That crown, for the Ms. winner, went to Morfin.

A judge later told Morfin that she and Schmidt had a tie score in the Miss division and since Morfin impressed pageant officials, they awarded her the Ms. title that otherwise would have been vacant.

“There were girls that we could have given that title to, but we chose to give it to Briana because we thought she exemplified all the qualities of a leader as well as wearing that title for our pageant system,” pageant director Camille Winters said.

Morfin called it a “total shocker moment.”

“It was like Christmas,” she said. “It’s like when your parents give you all your presents and you open them all up and you’re happy with what you got, but then they’re like ‘Wait, wait, wait. We have one more present for you.’”

Unlike more established circuits, The Pageant did not have contestants from all 50 states since it is in its first year. According to its website, The Pageant includes competitions in interviews, swimsuit/fitness wear, evening gowns and on-stage introductions/oral expression.

Morfin said pageant officials contacted her to see if she’d be interested in the competition. Having participated in pageants since she was 13, finishing as a 2009 Miss USA teen runner-up and a 2011-12 Miss Teen Earth New Mexico winner, Morfin said she had thought it was time to end her pageant career and pursue other interests.

But she decided to give it a go, submitting an application and essay to the organization before earning the bid to compete. She will serve alongside Schmidt, National Teen Alyssa Magalong and National Jr. Teen Olivia Jensen.

“Even how this one fit in is kind of funny,” she said. “I still have a year now for my reign. We’ll see how it goes. I’m sure I’ll have a blast. It’s always nice to do community service and all the experiences within it. It just sort of fell in my lap.”

Kingdom and the United States.

On Thursday, the British Parliament rejected Prime Minister David Cameron’s proposal for military intervention in Syria. That day, Russia and China officially stated their support for Assad.

But on Saturday, Obama announced that although he is willing and ready to start a military strike against Syria, he will seek Congress’ decision on the matter first. He said he plans to seek a Congressional vote on the planned intervention after Labor Day. According to French news agency Agence France-Presse, French President François Hollande said Saturday that he “has felt the same resolution beside Obama” and that he has decided that France will serve as the U.S.’s principal ally in the proposed operation.

Eight Albuquerque organizations helped organize the protest, Namaste said. She said the organizations started planning the event Thursday after word got out of possible U.S. intervention.

About 100 people attended the event.

Namaste said by approving military intervention, Obama is misrepresenting the country’s national interests. She said going to war is a waste of taxpayer dollars and is illegal according to international law.

“We’re demanding that Syria follow international law with their chemical weapons,” she said. “But

in the meantime, this attack would not be following international law, so this is hypocrisy. They should not illegally bomb a country.”

Joel Gallegos, a member of the Act Now, Stop War, End Racism Coalition (ANSWER) who helped organize the event, said his organization attended to urge the U.S. government to prioritize its problems in its territory.

“The United States government likes to claim that they don’t have money for housing, for food programs, for health care,” he said. “But they have money for war? … They would rather go and kill people in other countries than to provide for their own people here.”

Danya Mustafa, a member of the UNM organization Students for Justice in Palestine, said she attended the event because it affects her personally.

“As a person who is Arab, I feel like there is so much division in the Arab community because of the issue,” she said. “It affects me in the sense of community relationships.

I’m originally from Palestine, and what happens in Syria destabilizes the region. I’m worried for my friends and family.”

Mustafa said her organization urges the U.S. not to go to war in Syria. But she said that instead of siding with any country in the international conflict, she said her organization calls for peace and humanitarian aid in the region.

And she believes diplomatic talks can solve this “complicated” situation, she said.

“This issue has a lot of effect on how I see the world,” she said. “We’re here to take a stance that we do not want the U.S. to intervene in Syria because it will only create more problems, and there is no end goal.”

Namaste said she also demands a ceasefire and more humanitarian aid in Syria. Still, she said she is uncertain about how the Congress vote will turn out.

“I hope our Congress is smarter than Obama,” she said.

Various organizations have been calling the offices of New Mexico Sen. Martin Heinrich and New Mexico Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham and the White House “to put pressure on Congress” against the military intervention, Namaste said.

But Gallegos said that although he “would be disappointed, but would not be surprised” if the U.S. followed through on its attack, he still urges the Albuquerque community to express its opposition to war.

“Albuquerque may be a small city,” he said. “But our voice is loud, and we can make it echo throughout the nation.”

Congress is set to vote on whether or not to intervene in the Syrian conflict Sept. 9, when members return from recess.

the ruling and the gay community in the city through events such as the annual Gay Pride Parade.

Incumbent Republican mayor Richard Berry did not respond to the Daily Lobo’s requests for comment from him about the same-sex marriage ruling.

Heh said he does not expect Berry to comment about the ruling.

“Mayor Berry is not going to comment on any hard questions,” Heh said. “He’s afraid that if he comes out one way, he’s gonna lose votes. And if he comes out the other way, he’s still gonna lose votes.”

And Heh said Dinelli is being too positive about same-sex marriage in the city.

“Knock yourself up, Pete,” Heh said, addressing Dinelli. “You know it’s not gonna stand up. I know it’s not gonna stand up.”

Letter

Recording ethnicity can help lessen hate crimes Editor, Thanks for reporting the hate letter on the car and the earlier writing of “SandN*gger” on the same victim’s door at the SRCs on campus in last Wednesday’s Daily Lobo, but I noticed you did not include the race/ethnicity/religion of the victim.

This is a serious omission. This is why so many crimes go unproven as hate crimes, and therefore are not subject to New Mexico’s hate crime enhancement in sentencing.

Consider “Sand N*gger.” It is a demeaning slur against a person of Middle Eastern/Arab/North African descent.

Proving demographic information about the victim helps police find the culprit, such as if he or she has been known to say bad things about a specific racial, ethnic or religious group.

It is in recognition of how it can incite violence that countries like the U.K. have made hate speech against the law.

Thus in 2000, when members of the UNM chapter of the Sigma Chi fraternity drew a swastika on a car parked illegally in their house’s lot, it helped the case leading to the fraternity’s temporary suspension when it was learned that the car belonged to an African American woman.

But law enforcement historically has been unconscionably lax about recording such information. Even in progressive Berkeley, Calif., at least in the early 1990s, police were leaving the “ethnicity of victim” field on their reports blank.

Such omissions at the local level hamper the FBI, which collects statistics on hate crime. The feds need significant numbers of the same ethnicity, race or religion to spot patterns and plot trends.

Even at the federal level, it was only very recently that Sikhs began being counted officially as their own category of victims of hate crime.

Hopefully such statistics can lead to shrewder preventive measures at hate groups. The first step is nipping hate in the butt by making sure institutional policy prohibits hate speech in the first place.

It is in recognition of how it can incite violence that countries like the U.K. have made hate speech against the law. For us Americans, why should it not at least be part of, say, campus restrictions on bullying and harassment?

If this is not done, as when police prematurely say “the case is closed,” it only emboldens such verbally violent bigots toward physical violence.

Column

Dr. Peg’s Prescription Pesky ‘bumps’ easily taken care of in no time at all Dear Dr. Peg, I went to the SHAC a few days ago about small bumps I noticed on my penis and pubic area. The person I saw said they were molluscum contagiosum and she used a liquid nitrogen spray to freeze them off.

I had 5 bumps and now they have all increased in size, popped, and are starting to scab up, like she said they would. I was kind of nervous and I forgot to ask her some questions. What should I expect from here on out? Is this going to damage my penis?

The bumps are pretty sore.

Dear Molluscum Man, Nervousness when your penis is being frozen is a normal reaction. So is the popping and scabbing, but lasting damage is extremely unlikely.

Molluscum contagiosum is a skin infection caused by a virus of the same name.

Humans are its only host. It is passed by skin to skin contact, or by skin to object (e.g. towel) to skin. Little kids get it from playing together and sharing toys.

In adults, if it’s in the genital area, it’s assumed to be sexually transmitted. We see it quite often at SHAC. Molluscum contagiosum causes small round firm bumps with waxy centers. They usually don’t itch or hurt. It can take weeks from the time of contact for the bumps to appear. Some people only get one bump, and they often pass it off as a stubborn zit.

If you leave them alone, they will go away eventually, but this can take several more weeks. In the meantime, you are contagious. If you get treated, the duration of

the infection is shortened, and your period of contagiousness is also shortened.

Treatment involves removing the waxy centers. This can be done with a tool called a sharp curette, with which we scoop out the center in one swift move. Yes, it hurts a bit, but only for a second. Some practitioners use a needle. There are several other methods, including various toxic solutions and lasers, or they can be treated with liquid nitrogen, like your provider used.

Nitrogen at room temperature is a gas. It is part of the air we breathe. When cooled and pressurized, it is a very cold liquid.

We use liquid nitrogen to treat various different skin conditions, including molluscum, warts and small skin cancers. This kind of treatment is also called cryosurgery or cryotherapy. As with any kind of intervention, there are possible complications, but lasting damage to the penis is highly improbable.

The first complication, if you will, is pain. It hurts to have tissue frozen, and the area usually stays tender for several days.

Bleeding is common, usually under the skin as a “blood blister.” Infection is possible but infrequent. If the site becomes opened or raw, cover with antibiotic ointment and a Band-Aid if you can. Long term complications might include scarring, pigment changes, recurrence of the initial lesion and, rarely, nerve damage. All of these are very rare, I assure you.

As I said above, the bumps will go away eventually even without treatment, but since it is contagious as long as the bumps are present, I recommend getting them

treated. The way your lesions blistered up and fell off is exactly the reaction we’re looking for. Once the underlying sore heals up, everything should be back to normal.

You might develop more bumps, since this is a very slow moving infection. If you do, come on back to the SHAC and we can treat you again.

By the way, if it happens again that you have questions for your provider after leaving SHAC, or if you want to contact your provider at any time for any reason, you can do so online using our secure patient messaging system.

Go to shac.unm.edu and click on “online student health.” This will take you to a login page where you use your usual UNM Net ID and password. Sometimes your provider will use this same system to contact you.

If that happens, you will receive a regular email from SHACGW (Student Health and Counseling GroupWise) alerting you that you have a message. Many of our patients have found this system quite useful.

Of course, if you are more old fashioned, there is always the phone. Ours is 277-3136.

Dr. Peggy Spencer is a physician at Student Health and Counseling. She is also coauthor of the book “50 Ways to Leave Your 40s.” Email your questions directly to her at pspencer@unm.edu. All questions will be considered, and all questioners will remain anonymous.

Who thinks what about Syria?

The Associated Press

The United States is considering launching a punitive strike against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad, blamed by the U.S. and the Syrian opposition for an Aug. 21 alleged chemical weapons attack in a rebel-held suburb of the Syrian capital of Damascus.

The U.S. said the attack killed 1,429 people, including at least 426 children. Those numbers are significantly higher than the death toll of 355 provided by the aid group Doctors Without Borders.

President Barack Obama said he has decided that the United States should take military action against Syria but is seeking congressional authorization for the use of force in a vote expected after Congress returns to work Sept. 9.

Here’s a look at key Syria developments around the world Monday amid heightened tensions over potential military action: SYRIA: Assad said military strikes against his country would risk triggering a regional war. He said the Middle East is a “powder keg” and no one can say what will transpire if the West takes military action against Syria. He warned “the whole world will lose control of the

situation. Chaos and extremism will spread. The risk of a regional war exists.”

UNITED STATES: Sen. John McCain told reporters at the White House that Obama must make a strong case for attacking Bashar Assad’s Syria if he wants to win congressional backing for the operation. He also said Obama’s intervention now will be more difficult because Assad “is moving his forces around.” Both McCain and Sen. Lindsay Graham, who spoke after meeting Obama, questioned the wisdom of the administration publicly signaling in advance its intention to strike.

FRANCE: A French intelligence report estimated that the Syrian regime launched the alleged Aug. 21 attack involving a “massive use of chemical agents” and could carry out similar strikes in the future. The government, on its Web site, published a 9-page intelligence synopsis about Syria’s chemical weapons program that found that at least 281 deaths could be attributed to the attack in rebel-held areas outside Damascus.

RUSSIA: The Russian news agency Interfax said President Vladimir Putin hopes to send a delegation of

lawmakers to the U.S. to discuss the situation in Syria with members of Congress. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said evidence the U.S. showed Moscow blaming the Syrian regime for the alleged chemical weapons attack was “absolutely unconvincing.” He said “there was nothing specific” in the evidence.

TURKEY: Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s chief adviser brushed aside fears that a U.S. strike against Syria could provoke Damascus to attack Turkey. Yalcin Akdogan told the Turkish daily newspaper Aksam that an attack on Turkey “would be madness and suicide” because Turkey is a member of NATO. The alliance is committed to defending member states.

CHINA: Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said his country urged the U.S. not to take unilateral action against Syria. He said Washington briefed Beijing about the matter and that China is concerned about chemical weapons use but that the country opposes the U.S. acting alone. Hong didn’t address the possibility of the U.S. acting together with France’s government, which supports a strike.

Beijing would almost certainly be opposed to any strike.

Study: NM rife with wage theft

A new study reports that employers steal wages from Mexican immigrants in New Mexico.

According to the Mexican Immigrants and Wage Theft in New Mexico study, close to 30 percent of immigrants in the state report being the victims of wage theft.

The study showed employers stole wages from both documented and undocumented workers.

Jessica Garrick, a graduate student in sociology who co-write the study, said Somos Un Pueblo Unido, a local Santa Fe organization, approached Andrew Schrank, a UNM professor of sociology and political science, about conducting a study to demonstrate the problem of wage theft in New Mexico.

Immigrants across the state suffer different forms of wage theft at the hands of their employers, Garrick said.

“Sometimes this was just outright non-payment, like they just don’t get a paycheck,” she said. “And then other times their employers are doing things like shaving hours off the paycheck, not paying overtime, not paying minimum wage, all of those things are wage theft.”

Garrick said she collected the data for the study by taking a survey of immigrants at the Mexican consulate in Albuquerque.

“We carried out the survey in the Mexican consulate system, in order to kind of capture what you think as a generalized sample of immigrants in the state,” she said. “I would just go into the consulate, and then I had a survey where I asked them sort of demographic questions.”

conducting the surveys in July 2012, and did not finish analyzing the data until the spring.

The study proves the reality of wage theft in New Mexico, Garrick said. She said theft presents a big problem not only for the victims, but for the state’s economy in general.

“So these victims, they’re not being paid their full wages, these wages then don’t go back into the economy,” she said. “And the other harmful thing that it does is when you have employers who treat their workers this way they’re sort of undercutting the businesses that don’t do this.”

Garrick said the study also shows employers who commit wage theft also tend to mistreat their workers in other aspects.

“... an employer who commits wage theft is also probably committing verbal and physical abuse.” ~Jessica Garrick

graduate student, sociology “One of the findings was that immigrants in the workplace who are experiencing wage theft are also experiencing other harmful things in the workplace,” she said. “So an employer who commits wage theft is also probably committing verbal and physical abuse.”

Garrick also said the immigration status of the workers does not justify the employers’ treatment of immigrant workers.

“Even though these workers are immigrants and some of them are

undocumented, labor laws protect everyone in the workplace the same,” she said. “So it doesn’t really matter if they’re immigrants. The law protects you, or should protect you, in the same way.”

Adriana Ortiz, a UNM student and member of the UNM Dream Team, said the results of the study do not surprise her.

“Growing up in an immigrant house, you don’t consider it wage theft because it’s normal. But now after reading the study I think ‘Wow, my parents really have been victims of wage theft.’” she said. “This really isn’t how it should be.”

Ortiz studies at UNM under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals presidential memorandum.

She gave the Daily Lobo permission to publish her immigration status.

According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services website, undocumented immigrants who fulfill the requirements of DACA can qualify for deferred action for two years, which means that they are protected from deportation for that period of time. They are also “eligible for work authorization” for two years.

However, these privileges are subject to revocation at any time.

Ortiz said she thinks immigrants can be taken advantage of because they “are willing to do the job for a lower pay.”

She said she hopes immigrant workers will become more aware of the rules of the workplace, including the expectations for workers and their employers.

“I definitely hope immigrants will become educated on their rights,” she said. “There needs to be more education and there needs to be more informative sessions because these immigrants don’t know what their rights necessarily are.”

Club orbits around hit British TV show

by Roxanne Youngblood culture@dailylobo.com @roxxykittyx

Don your bowties and British accents, Whovians, the TARDIS has landed at UNM. Ben Ginsburg said he started and is now the president of UNM Whovians, a the Doctor Who fan club. He founded the club to create a space for fans of the show to meet and socialize.

“One day, I wore a TARDIS hat and there were a ton people who came up and started talking to me,” Ginsburg said.

Ginsburg said he began recruiting for the club during the spring semester. He put up posters around campus to find other Dr. Who lovers.

Doctor Who is a science fiction program which has aired on and off for 50 years on the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) Channel One. The Doctor is a Time Lord, or a time traveling alien, who travels in the TARDIS, a machine that can travel both through time and space. Whovians are fans of the Doctor Who series.

In addition to hanging posters,

Ginsburg said he stopped people wearing Doctor Who stuff on the street and gave them cards about the club.

The club will be an informal group, focused on watching Doctor Who and meeting people who enjoy the series, Ginsburg said.

“It’s going to be an unorthodox group that will hopefully get people socializing,” he said.

Club member Brandan Chapman, a sophomore studying creative writing, said he joined the club during the spring semester. He wanted to meet other Whovians, since Doctor Who is his favorite thing.

Chapman said he grew up in Roswell, and is interested in the concept of aliens. He prefers the way Doctor Who presents aliens as compared to the way they are presented in his hometown.

“Mostly Roswell is like the cliché, little green men, while Doctor Who makes it more realistic,” Chapman said.

Though he is just a member, Chapman said he may be interested in working more with the club, possibly in an officer position.

FOR YOUR EARS a monthly music preview

by Antonio Sanchez

U.S. Royalty, Seahorn Low Spirits Monday, Sept. 16 at 9 p.m.

Ticket price at door 21+ U.S. Royalty plays it safe as most of their songs draw upon classic rock for an influence. Playing things safe isn’t always bad, however, as this D.C. quartet manages to garner a certain level of fun with their well-timed “whoa-oh’s” and guitar leads.

For Your Consideration: “Equestrian” is a catchy tune with a loud chorus and group “oh-oh-oh’s” — there’s a reason it received a healthy bit of play time on American Eagle commercials last year.

Dr. Who

Immortal Technique, Brother Ali Sunshine Theater Tuesday, Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. $20 All ages Felipe Andres Coronel, the man behind Immortal Technique, is a selfmade hip-hop artist if there ever was one. Paying for his first recorded album with the money he won during prominent rap battles, this Harlemraised artist quickly made a name for himself as a politically active rapper.

For Your Consideration: “Harlem Streets” provides a lyrical look into inner-city violence, with Coronel focusing less on a catchy beat and more on packing an activist’s poetic punch.

Wavves Sunshine Theater Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 8 p.m. $18 All ages Wavves slaps together a messy slop of traditional surf-punk with twinkling lo-fi punk. While not the cleanest of ditties, these San Diego natives know how to churn out a catchy tune.

For Your Consideration: Sure, “Sail to the Sun” is drowned in distortion and unintelligible lyrics, but it still packs three minutes of fun.

The Skatalites, The Blue Hornets Launchpad Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 9 p.m. $15 21+ The Skatalites reign from the Jamaican dancehalls of the early 1960s and promote a relaxing vibe with their laid back ska tunes. Having performed internationally for the past 50 years, this aging group still stands strong amongst contemporary ska artists.

For Your Consideration: “I Should Have Known Better” is an instrumental rudeboy interpretation of the original song from The Beatles, featuring a heavy amount of saxophone and trumpet solos.

The Octopus Project, Paper Lions, The F***ing Adventures Launchpad Thursday, Sept. 26 at 8 p.m. $10 All ages Joining the long list of artists with offbeat genre titles, The Octopus Project is an indietronica band that hails from Austin, Texas. Handclaps and electronic beats are aplenty as lead singers Toto Miranda and Josh Lambert trade verses.

For Your Consideration: “Sharp Teeth” begins with a short lyrical tirade against 21st century hipsters before leading to a slow burning jam track.

Synthesizers meet strummed guitars meet cymbals meet keyboards in one long crescendo.

from page 8

Ginsburg said reactions to the club have been primarily positive, but there were some negative reactions.

“Friday Night Live got reactions from ‘You damn nerds’ to ‘Oh my God, I love everything about you,’” Ginsburg said.

These reactions haven’t affected the recruitment or the club, he said.

“People like different things, people don’t like different things.

The point of the group is to get people together who like similar things,” he said.

Neurotic November, Words Like Daggers Blackwater Music Wednesday, Sept. 11 at 7 p.m. $7 All ages There was a schoolyard bully mentality among plenty of mid-2000s tough-guy hardcore bands — where breakdowns in tempo were considered “brutal” and guttural vocals were the industry standard, the equivalent of puffing out one’s chest. Neurotic November is undoubtedly a brainchild of this MySpace era, with songs and a stage presence that demand only a yawn.

For Your Consideration: “I’m From the Sunshine State, I Gotta Shine” starts clumsily and never quite catches its footing, as lead vocalist “Dirty” coughs out a lyrical fur ball over a wall of chugging guitars.

Like a bolt out of the blue

Capricorn—To prepare for the new moon in earthy, detail-oriented Virgo that occurs this Thursday, you will want to focus on improving your financial situation. The best approach will be for you to analyze your current income and expenses. While you could increase your income by taking on more work, you may be better off pruning some indulgences. Determine which indulges are not working toward you best interests, and create a plan to eliminate them.

Aquarius—The phrase “the devil is in the details” is particularly relevant for you in the next few weeks, especially after the new moon in Virgo this Thursday. Look for metaphorical blind spots in your life — what is begging for attention? What areas of your life do you find yourself resisting? Which responsibilities are you neglecting? Be direct and honest with yourself, and take care of business.

Pisces—You are in an excellent position to make positive changes to your lifestyle, particularly where physical fitness and diet are concerned.

Think back to the times in which you have been overindulgent, and try to identify what it was about the circumstances that led you to make those regrettable decisions. Don’t be too hard on yourself; treat these changes and criticisms as you would with a good friend.

Know it’s in your best interests.

Aries—Pay attention to subtle tensions in your daily life, especially when it comes to interacting with people. If you fine the fault lies with others, you might want to take a second look and see where you might be rubbing people the wrong way. This is a good time to refine your social skills without suppressing your personality. You may also find you’ve been investing time with people or endeavors that aren’t worth it. Don’t be afraid to methodically let go of them.

Weekly Horoscopes

by Alexandra Swanberg aswanny@unm.edu

Taurus—Spend some time examining your home this week, and see if there aren’t ways in which you can improve the ambiance and organization of it. Get a feel for the energy of dayto-day activities, and identify areas in which you feel frenzied. Figure out how you can get your home and belongings to best suit your needs. By Thursday, be prepared to put these observations into action by revamping your environment as you see fit.

Gemini—We on the lookout for moments and situations in which you find yourself trying to pull the wool over your own eyes. It may be that lately you’re more unwilling to see your own problems and deal with them. Now is the time to do so, as this frees you up for growth starting with the new moon in Virgo on Thursday. Create a strong mental image of the person you would like to be, and determine how you can bridge the gap between your present and imagined selves.

Cancer—Your sensitive, intuitive nature will come in handy over the next couple of weeks. In conjunction with analytical, improvement-seeking Virgo influences, these tendencies will easily lead you to the self-understanding you’ve needed. A grand epiphany will arise, as long as you really focus your energy on self-awareness and improving your lifestyle. It will take hard work, but given the potential outcome, it is well worth it.

Leo—Work on developing a sense of emotional independence and self-reliance in the next couple of weeks. This is an essential skill to have, if you plan to ever be happy without external stimuli (including people). If you find yourself chronically needing reassurance, go within to discover what it is about yourself you find so objectionable. Learn to love yourself, and change the things that can be improved.

Virgo—For a while this summer, your life seemed much like what people experience on a cruise: indulgent, frivolous, carefree. But beneath the surface, you don’t quite forget about all of your responsibilities. Cosmically speaking, you are back home, and it is time to put those recharged batteries to use. Your relationships will benefit from the selfconfidence that naturally arises from turning over a new leaf. How can you make this work for you?

Libra—With Venus at home in your sign, your romantic, platonic, familial, and work relationships are going swimmingly for the most part. With these basic needs of yours taken care of, you might want to focus on your material foundations, the things in your life that keep you feeling stable and taken care of (e.g. money, home, furniture, etc.). Think about how you might boost your material circumstances.

Scorpio—You know what’s troubling you, and you know you’ve been avoiding it. This hasn’t exactly been a bad thing, as you have still managed to keep an objective distance from your emotional self. This means it’s easier for you to talk yourself out of a bad habit. This might entail thinking of all the negative consequences it has brought upon you, or replacing it with a more desirable habit. Figure out your game plan this week, but wait until Thursday to take action.

Sagittarius—You will do well in educational endeavors this week. Given that you are generally adept at conjuring up grand schemes and theories, you might find that this is the time to conceptualize an exciting new project that involves disciplined mental exertion. However, you won’t want to start it until after the new moon in Thursday.

The days leading up to this will be inspiring, but won’t give you the clear and concrete foundation you need.

Local punk band calling it quits after 5 years

by William Aranda

culture@dailylobo.com After five years of performing and three CD releases, Albuquerque-based group Music Is The Enemy will break up this month.

The band members said the group has run its course, and they want to move on to other projects.

“It’s better that we do this than to keep on trying to drag this out into nonsense,” said singer Miles Bodmer.

Music Is The Enemy, a post hardcore punk quintet, formed in 2008 when Bodmer, tired of auditioning for bands, put together a project and started writing his own songs.

Not long after, he teamed up with guitarist Alex Hetlinger and drummer Michael Wieclaw. Wieclaw said he met Bodmer after placing an ad online looking for a band.

“The way that me and Miles met, I moved here and I put an ad on Craigslist and I put all this (stuff ) like, ‘Oh I can play like this,’” said Wieclaw. “‘Oh and by the way, my favorite bands are Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears and Matthew Good,’ and he hit me back and said, ‘I love Matthew Good, here’s what I’m doing.’”

MITE’s current lineup of Bodmer, Wieclaw, bassist Timothy Plath and guitarists Karie Morgan and Karl Deuble has been playing together for about a year.

MITE played to a crowd of more than 50 people at the Wagon Wheel for their final all-ages show on Friday night.

The Wagon Wheel, a house near UNM that doubles as a local performance space, belongs to Alexster Crowley DenBaars, lead singer and ukulele player for local folk punk group Arroyo Deathmatch, who opened for MITE on Friday night.

Their set was adorned with two banners that had lyrics from MITE’s song “End Transmission”

Clockwise from top

written on them and lights illuminating on the band members.

As soon as MITE took the stage, no one was standing still in the small space, as audience members were stage diving off a riser and moshing.

Inflatable whales and playroom balls were also flying around the room during the set, which ended with Wieclaw trashing his drums and Plath slamming his bass on the floor.

While audience members thought MITE played a very killer set, the members feel mixed.

“I feel like tonight was what it should have been; it was a wreck,

it was a mess,” Morgan said. “No one could hear a thing, but it doesn’t matter because it’s all about the energy and it’s all about the people.”

After the split, Bodmer plans to go to grad school at the University of Oregon and become a geophysicist, Wieclaw will focus on his clothing line “Metal the Brand,” Morgan and Deuble will continue playing music with bands, “Beard” and “Distances.” Plath said he will pursue a career in network/system administration and is thinking about creating another music project.

1. Miles Bodmer, singer for Music Is The Enemy, performs with his band at the Wagon Wheel on Friday. This show was the last all-ages show for the group, which disbands this month.

2. Karie Morgan, one of two guitarists for Music Is The Enemy, performs with her band Friday night at the Wagon Wheel. Audience members were moshing, stage diving and would occasionally play band members’ instruments.

3. Music Is The Enemy’s set after Wieclaw knocked over his drums and Plath threw his bass. This is very common at the end of their shows.

4. From left, Miles Bodmer, Michael Wieclaw, Timothy Plath and Karl Deuble perform as Music Is The Enemy on Friday night at the Wagon Wheel. Included in their set were two banners with lyrics from their song “End Transmission,” which was their final song for the night.

5. Members of Music Is The Enemy embrace one another at the end of their set at the Wagon Wheel. Their last show will be at Burt’s Tiki Lounge on Saturday.
