“I think we’re all very diverse in our affiliations with UNM and ASUNM groups and agencies. I think that’s what makes us really great.

We’re not the same person.

We’re all different people.

We’re all motivated to pursue what we think is important.”

Who?

A complaint filed by UNM Hospital employees last week regarding a rule that made flu shots mandatory for them has now reached the streets.

UNMH union employees gathered outside the hospital along Lomas Boulevard on Tuesday to rally against what protesters called “anti-working family” policies.

These include the recent mandatory flu vaccination rule

Team You for ASUNM Candidates: Colt Balok (incumbent), Andrea Butler, Lester Garcia, Samuel Greenblatt, Shayla King,Kaitlyn Loafman, Ayham Maadi, Derick Moreno, Lyndsay Stapleton, Katelynn Thornton Summary: Team You aims to tackle large academic problems for UNM, such as graduation rates, retention rates and the Lottery scholarship. They also want to help fix smaller problems across UNM, such as teacher evaluation, WiFi access and parking. Colt Balok is the only incumbent in the slate seeking office.

“I believe it is good to have a mix of newcomers and incumbents in the senate.

New issues arise, so it’s good to have people in there who know what they’re doing and can guide newcomers along, but also people with fresh ideas that haven’t been seen before.”

– Kaitlyn Loafman

and the lack of wage increases at the hospital, said Mario Valencia, a scrub tech and nurse at UNMH. He said employees have not seen a wage increase in three years, which is especially harsh since the minimum wage in the city went up at the beginning of this year.

“Everything goes up — gas prices, groceries,” he said. “Businesses have to raise their prices to compensate for the additional wage, and once again what we’re getting is devalued.

We work hard, we take care of our patients, we’re passionate about our jobs, but we’re not treated as such. I just feel like we’re not appreciated in

Jaclyn Page Summary: Page is involved in various organizations across campus and has had connections with UNM since she was little. She said she is running for senate to “give back” to the University. Page’s goals for the senate include reforming the Lottery Scholarship, bringing in state legislators for forums and increasing outreach to students.

“I’d like to come and be able to tell people what we’re doing at ASUNM and have them ask questions so it can be a back-and-forth honest conversation.”

Jazmin Irazoqui

Summary: Irazoqui, a senior majoring in business administration, has participated in various organizations across campus, including the National Society for Collegiate Scholars, Beta Alpha Phi and El Centro de la Raza. If she is elected, Irazoqui aims to raise the standards for the senate, increase student involvement and fill the gap among student organizations, staff and ASUNM.

“You don’t just have to be a leader, but you also have to represent the student body that you are going to be representing. I feel I definitely fit the criteria. Not only am I a minority … but I feel I would offer a sense of diversity.”

After flu shot clinics opened in September, hospital employees were sent a memo informing them that flu vaccinations would be mandatory this year.

As a response, UNMH employees and members of District 1199 NM, a local union for health care employees, filed a complaint to the UNM Labor Board on Thursday. The union is not against the shot, but believes the terms should have been coordinated with the union because it is a change in contract.

WORLD BRIEFS Canada Toronto Blue Jays infielder Mark DeRosa announced his retirement from Major League Baseball Tuesday. DeRosa had signed a one-year deal worth $750,000 with the American League club and batted with seven home runs, 12 doubles and 36 runs for Toronto. Throughout his career, the American athlete had a batting average of .268. DeRosa is currently being considered for a game coverage position as an on-air analyst with the Chicago Cubs.

Germany A German website that tracks artwork potentially stowed away by Nazis crashed Tuesday due to an overflow of Internet traffic. The site, www.lostart.de, features 25 works of art posted by authorities online. Police recently discovered about 1,400 pieces in the Munich apartment of Cornelius Gurlitt, an 80-year-old man whose father worked with the Nazis. Works of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso were part of the revealed stash, according to the Associate Press.

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Tuesday that Israel would delay plans to construct 24,000 settler homes in its West Bank and East Jerusalem, regions plagued by conflicts with Palestine. The initiative, which is part of three-month-old peace talks the United States had been leading with Israel, was halted after Palestinians expressed anger with the plan. According to Reuters, Israel claims to have historical and biblical roots in the two territories, which houses almost five times as many Palestinians as Israelis.

Japan Fukushima nuclear power plant operators will start removing 400 tons of irradiated fuel as part of cleanup processes set to begin this week. This involves the removal of 1,500 brittle fuel assemblies at the plant’s devastated Reactor No. 4. The process is estimated by authorities to take at least one year and to cost billions of dollars, according to Reuters. Reuters reports that through the process, the plant could potentially release radioactive gases into the atmosphere if safety standards are compromised.

Center shares UNMH burden Rio Rancho hospital is in stage of rapid growth

by Stephanie Hoover news@dailylobo.com @StephCHoover

The state of the new Sandoval Regional Medical Center dominated discussions at the UNM Hospital Board of Directors’ meeting Friday.

The prognosis: healthy and flourishing.

SRMC, which is owned by UNM, opened in July 2012 and is located in northern Rio Rancho. It is generating revenue and accepting transfers from UNMH, according to Steve McKernan, the Chief Executive Officer of the Health Sciences System.

During the previous week, McKernan said, there were days in which as few as 20 patients were served. But by that Friday, they were already up to 53 patients by midafternoon. He said SRMC’s goal is to serve around 55 patients a day.

“In community hospitals you see much greater swings in patient

volume,” McKernan said. “We’re working very hard to move services out of UNMH over to SRMC so that we can level out some of those swings.”

As for the patients in the operating room, SRMC is looking to increase its patient load by 3 patients per day during the business week, amounting to around 360 patients a month. McKernan said the facility saw 278 patients in October.

He added that the center’s pulmonary, oncology and infectious disease units are well staffed. However, they have had problems with high turnover rates of nurses and some technical professional specialists, said Paul Roth, chancellor for Health Sciences.

Gastroenterology, which involves the digestive system, is one area where the medical center is lacking in coverage. However, recent contracts with private physicians will change this, he said.

SRMC and a group of private GI physicians signed contracts last week, allowing for gastroenterology to be covered completely at SRMC, which prevents doctors from being pulled away from UNMH. Roth said the services will likely start being

offered within the month.

“We’ll be able to provide all of the GI services shortly,” he said.

“I don’t know what the timeline will be as for when we’ll actually get boots on the ground there, but that’s a huge advance for SRMC.” The changes being implemented at SRMC, coupled with a medical center that is able to take on some of the non-urgent scheduled surgeries from UNMH, will allow the state to bring in more revenue, Roth said.

He said this is possible because having a referral center such as SRMC means UNMH can take more patients. which was previously impossible due to lack of facilities.

This will generate more revenue because the hospital will not have to turn patients away, he said.

“By taking some of those scheduled types of cases from UNM Hospital, it would permit UNM Hospital to receive transfers from other hospitals that, up to this point, it had to reject because it had no capacity to accept them,” Roth said. “So the strategies that we’ve begun are already bearing fruit, and we have not yet seen the impact of those kinds of changes. So, I think we’re all very optimistic.”

Regents regard various topics Scholarships, study abroad, teacher training on agenda

by Chloe Henson

assistant-news@dailylobo.com @ChloeHenson5 UNM administrators continued to discuss the distribution of financial aid among University students in a Board of Regents meeting Monday morning.

Terry Babbitt, vice president of enrollment management, offered an update on the issue in front of the regents.

“Typically, institutional aid has a few goals that we try to achieve,” he said. “We contribute to student persistence and completion, support enrollment goals and improve academic profile by attracting top students.”

According to a document from the meeting, about $78 million from University funding went to scholarships in school year 2012.

About $44 million went to grants, and $133 million went to loans for students that year.

According to another document from the meeting, 31 percent of institutional grants based on need were given to white students, 64 percent were given to Hispanic, American Indian and African American students and students of two or more races. More than $2 million is allotted to the UNM Bridge to Success scholarship, according to the document.

Talks about the racial demographics of financial aid recipients on campus started after UNM abruptly changed its Bridge Scholarship requirements this semester without notifying the campus community. Changes entailed an increased grade point average requirement for the Bridge of 3.0 and the creation of the Success Grant, which requires students to have a GPA of at least 2.5 and to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid.

Babbitt said 20 to 25 percent of “underrepresented” students receive merit scholarships that do not specifically require a specific ethnicity, such as the National Hispanic Scholars award.

Global Education Office The Global Education Office also offered an update on its program at the meeting.

Mary Anne Saunders, special assistant to the president for global initiatives, updated the regents on some of the responsibilities concerning incoming international students.

“The graduation rate for students who have returned from study abroad experiences is higher than for those who don’t have the experience.” ~Mary Anne Saunders president’s assistant for global activities “Just last year we assumed the responsibility for recruiting and admitting international students,” she said. “We are also responsible for taking care of the international students once they are here.”

Saunders said the state of New Mexico would benefit economically from bringing in international students.

According to a document distributed at the Board of Regents meeting, New Mexico had 3,272 international students from 20112012, and ranked 39 out of 50 states in terms of international student attendance. International

students brought $72.3 million to New Mexico, according to the document.

Saunders also talked about some of the benefits of sending students to study internationally. She said the benefits include higher retention rates and grade point averages for students who go abroad.

“The graduation rate for students who have returned from study abroad experiences is higher than for those who don’t have the experience,” she said.

Despite not having a lot of time to work on their new responsibility, Saunders said UNM has already seen increases in international students.

“We had less than a year, but even in less than a year we’ve seen a growth of 21 percent in our international students,” she said. “This includes undergraduate and graduate students.”

According to the document, next year’s goals for GEO include increasing “international enrollments and study abroad participation,” get funding for more international study scholarship funding and improving marketing and websites.

Center for Teaching Excellence Director Aeron Haynie also went before the Board of Regents to discuss the center’s new initiatives for improving student success.

The first initiative is a UNM Teaching Fellows (Pilot) Program, Haynie said. She said it will focus on UNM faculty from each college.

Haynie said the faculty would meet to develop their teaching methods and to evaluate student learning.

The second initiative involves improving and expanding the training of graduate teaching assistants, Haynie said. She said the program would include introducing TAs to “best practices in higher education teaching” before they educate students in the classroom.

Correction In Tuesday’s article “Immigration film draws protest,” UNM Dean of Students Tomas Aguirre was misquoted. The article should have stated, “Aguirre said that although the group’s usage of ‘illegal immigrant’ is not hate speech, he thinks both sides have acted in a civil manner.”

The error was made in reporting.

Letter

Anti-abortion rhetoric is counterproductive Editor,

I want empathy; at least some. In recent weeks, I’ve found myself getting more and more disappointed by the lack of empathy expressed by my fellow Albuquerque citizens with regard to the upcoming abortion ban vote. Although I can’t see myself ever getting an abortion past twenty weeks, or even before that point, I can still imagine how difficult a position some women find themselves where they may have to choose to undergo such a surgery.

And yes, abortions are major procedures, both in terms of expense and in that they carry risks. Less than one percent of women who have abortions get them past twenty weeks anyway, and it’s usually terrible complications that bring them to that decision.

Some proponents of the abortion ban make it sound as though there are tons of loose women killing babies as a means of regular birth control, even at the last minute — at or around nine months — as if that sounded likely for a mother to do at all. This is not the reality of abortion.

The stigma that’s placed on women who might not be able to carry through a pregnancy for personal reasons — physical, emotional and/or financial — is horrible.

I would like this rhetoric to stop.

A lot of men, and even some women, have a hard time imagining how awful it would feel to be forced to carry through an unwanted pregnancy. By restricting a woman’s access to a major surgical operation such as an abortion, Albuquerque’s voters will be limiting our medical rights and overall oppressing the entire female sex. I can’t help thinking of horror story scenarios here and the thought makes me sick.

Not that bearing children is always a horrible experience, but it does take a physical toll, and when a woman is not ready to have a child the pregnancy can take an immense mental toll on her as well. That’s also not accounting for the fact that some fetuses have complications that result in death in the womb or painful, brief lives that end almost immediately after being born.

Even in some desired pregnancies these complications arise, and the woman’s pregnancy, despite being something she had longed for, becomes a traumatic nightmare for her. These are specifically the cases that require “late-term” abortions.

So, Albuquerque voters, please ignore the rhetoric depicting women as baby-killing sluts.

Because we’re not that. Women are not sluts or breeders. We’re humans with emotions and sentience and the capacity for pain, and we’re deserving of rights.

Abortions only cause serious harm if they’re performed through underground channels as a result of restrictions that limit our access to decent treatments and resources. When you see those graphic — and possibly fake — images around town, remember that if this ban passes, that’s when the real horrors will occur to living, pain-capable women.

If you respect yourself as a woman, or you are a man who respects women, please have some empathy and vote against this ban.

Bible filled with wisdom, but beware the poison Editor,

The Bible contains both poison crap and precious wisdom. Tragically, many people swallow both the poison crap and the precious wisdom and proclaim it all as the Word of God. Deuteronomy 7:2 says, “And when the Lord your God gives them over to you, and you defeat them, then you must utterly destroy them; you shall make no covenant with them and show no mercy to them.”

Joshua 10:40 says, “So Joshua smote the whole land … He left none remaining but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord

War on Xmas starts early this year

by Jason Stafford Guest columnist

The following is a letter home from the annual war on Christmas.

Dear folks, It’s been a while since I’ve written and I truly am sorry for that. Hope you weren’t too worried. As you probably read in the papers, my division has been busy. I hope you saw that my platoon played no small part in the decisive victory. Needless to say, us boys in the First Armored Atheist Division couldn’t be more proud. It was a tough fight for that candy cane factory; the Christians just didn’t want to give it up, but in the end we outfought them.

We cheered when the engineers blew it up.

We hadn’t cheered so loud since the phrase “Happy Holidays” was invented.

We cleaned out a Wal-Mart while we were there, too. Burned out the plastic decorations and every bit of tinsel they had. They’ve probably already re-supplied and are selling garish red-and-green tchotchkes again. You know how it goes — we hit them, they hit us, and then we do it all again. But we won’t let up. Heck no.

It’s strange that it’s just November. This season just seems to drag on anymore. Every year the war starts earlier and goes on longer. Remember when Christmas season began midNovember and was over on January 1? It seems so long ago.

The first few years they started their Christmas operations in September, it was

touch-and-go. The year we mounted a counteroffensive just after Labor Day sure took them by surprise, though. We shut down the manufacture of stockings along a 400-mile front and had them on their heels. But I’m rambling now.

I hope to be home by the end of January. The company intel officer says he thinks Christmas operations, including post-holiday sales, will run through mid-January. I’m sure we’ll be fighting till the end of it. Of course, the usual discharge processing will take another week or so, but I hope to be home for the playoffs. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.

On a more somber note, I don’t know if the news made it back yet, but Josh Ericson was killed in action last week. I don’t know if his folks know yet, and I’m sure his girl Rose is going to take it hard.

We were flanking enemy infantry entrenched in a Christmas tree grove. We’d just moved around their side when we got hit by fire from an elven anti-tank unit. We had to fight a running battle all the way back to our lines. Josh got hit when they first opened up but we got him back to the docs. There wasn’t much they could do. Those frag ornaments really do a number on a guy. Josh always was good people and it was tough to lose him. Everyone in the Third Platoon loved him.

It really makes a guy think to see a fella like Josh go out like that. It makes me wonder about the real cost of this war and if it’s all worth it. So many fine young men lost, but are we nearer to

winning the war on Christmas?

But then from somewhere deep in your mind comes the echoing melody of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer and your heart knows one thing: I must fight till the fight is over to end this holiday. I must keep pushing on until the last vestiges of Christmas are gone. We owe it to ourselves, and even more to our kids and their kids, too.

I’m going to end this now. We’re moving off the front tomorrow and into reserves. We’re going to be backing up the Second Agnostic Brigade in their offensive against a strategic garland reserve. Hopefully those boys in the Second make easy work of it and we sit in reserve for a while.

I wouldn’t mind putting my feet up and taking some time off. A hot shower and a hot breakfast sound nice. Eggs over easy, please. To think they waste eggs making that awful eggnog.

Give my regards to everyone and tell them I’ll be seeing them soon. I plan to do just as Grandpa said and keep my head down and my ass lower, haha! Kidding aside, I’ll be as safe as I can be and do my best to make you proud.

Everyone is making tough sacrifices, but I don’t want to make that big a sacrifice.

Just kidding.

We’re in this war to win it and, as you know, every atheist is absolutely committed to eradicating Christmas from the earth. It isn’t hyperbole when they say it’s a war on Christmas.

People may have thought it was exaggeration by conservative talking heads to shill their books, but not in the least!

Letter God of Israel commanded.”

Also, Samson was a suicide bomber. He prayed to God to strengthen him to do revenge and to murder his enemies as he killed himself. The building Samson destroyed was full of men and women, and 3,000 more people were on the roof (Judges 16: 25-30).

Samson killed more people that day than were killed on Sept. 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Have you heard any preacher, rabbi or priest damn Samson’s vengeful mass murder of thousands of people?

For more torture and mass murder in the name of God, read the books of Deuteronomy and Numbers in the Bible. Hitler was not the first to commit genocide. Columbus and other European invaders of the Americas were not the first to massacre indigenous people in

the name of God. The Bible states that the Lord God commanded the total genocide of every man, woman and child living in Palestine more than 3,000 years before Hitler. Today this is the U.S. Empire’s nuclear bomb policy toward targeted “enemy” nations.

No wonder many Bible-believers who swallow the Bible’s poison crap as the Word of God can build and finance nuclear weapons and wage war with no conscience, no guilt and no shame.

Those Bible verses stating that God commanded mass murder are spiritual poison.

Those verses depict a vicious cosmic terrorist whom I refuse to worship and whom I would never want to spend eternity with.

Many tribes and nations throughout history believed they were God’s favorites; history

believed they were God’s favorites, God’s chosen people. They stupidly used God’s name to justify slaughtering their enemies.

The Bible’s precious wisdom, on the other hand, teaches us to love, forgive and do good to our enemies, to conquer evil with good, to treat all people as we want others to treat us, to apologize and make amends when we wrong others, to live simply and to reject addiction to money and status.

Read the Bible with extreme caution always. Spit out its poison crap. Take to heart its wisdom and aim to live by it. Use compassion for all as the main test to separate its poison crap from its precious wisdom.

She said she wants the community to understand that many nurses with seniority are leaving the hospital due to a lack of wage increases.

“UNMH is hemorrhaging experienced nurses because they’re not being compensated a fair market wage for their experience,” MacIver said.

“And that can lead to unfavorable patient outcomes because all the studies show that experience on the floor makes a difference.”

She said that figures she gathered for their 2012 employee evaluations indicated that the hospital lost over 250 nurses in 2011. The cost to replace them was $20 million, she said, while the hospital estimated that it would have cost $10.5 million to give them raises had they stayed.

Bill Browne, administrative director for the union, said UNMH is a great hospital, but having an all-beginner staff is not good for patients or employees.

“This is the premiere hospital. Being the Trauma One center, it’s the teaching hospital,” Browne said. “We can’t have all beginner nurses teaching new beginner nurses. We can’t have all new doctors and nurses together when complicated cases arise.

We’re concerned that this could compromise patient care.”

Browne said the union is concerned with negotiating the terms of the mandatory flu shot.

“They have to bargain those effects with the union — I mean, that’s just the way it is,” he said. “We are the voice of the employees, and any change in terms of employment has to go through us.”

Browne and other people involved in the complaint met with a lawyer representing the Labor Board Tuesday morning to renegotiate the

Exp. 11/19/13. Limit 1 per person

new flu shot rule. They also voiced other concerns they had about the hospital, including wage increases.

But UNMH continued to defend its decision.

David Pitcher, chief medical officer of UNMH, stands by its decision to require employees to get flu shots. He said that in response to the complaint, the hospital plans to file a counter-claim to the UNM Labor Board by Nov. 18.

“In brief, the hospital believes that it has acted within its rights and has done nothing wrong,” he said. “First and foremost, I think that the decision of making flu shots mandatory was really a medical decision to make sure we’re doing what’s right with the patients and families we serve.”

Pitcher said the rule ensures the medical safety of patients and their families in the hospital. It is nothing unusual for the facility, he said.

“This is not something that is out of the ordinary. We have required for years mandatory shots for other illnesses … such as hepatitis and tuberculosis. Requiring a flu shot is in line with what we had done for many years. Those things were not necessarily negotiated by the union or by the employees.”

As it stands, employees are required by the new rule to have their flu shots by Dec. 1. At the moment, the UNM Labor Board is in negotiations with the party that filed the complaint.

Pitcher said UNMH does not plan to withdraw the change unless the Labor Board decides to require them to do so.

Still, he said he respects the points of view of the complainers.

“I understand that there have been labor management issues that have been raised by the union,” he said.

“I fully respect their rights to pursue these issues.”

COLUMBIA, Mo. — A Missouri man freed Tuesday after his murder conviction was overturned thanked what he described as “an army” of supporters who backed his claims of innocence through nearly a decade behind bars for the death of a newspaper sports editor.

Ryan Ferguson was released after the Missouri attorney general decided Tuesday not to retry him for the 2001 slaying of Columbia Daily Tribune sports editor Kent Heitholt. His release came one week after a state appeals court panel overturned Ferguson’s conviction, saying the prosecutor’s office withheld evidence from Ferguson’s attorneys and he didn’t get a fair trial.

Ferguson’s case gained national attention because his high school classmate, Chuck Erickson, claimed to have recalled through dreams years after the fact that he and Ferguson had killed Heitholt during a late-night robbery after a Halloween of partying. Erickson has since recanted his testimony but is still in prison.

Ferguson, 29, rode to freedom from the Boone County jail in the back seat of his father’s car — a black sedan emblazoned with a large photo of Ferguson and the words “Wrongfully Convicted.

Time for Justice. FREE RYAN.” He then traveled to a news conference that resembled an election night watch party, with dozens of jubilant supporters awaiting his arrival on stage at a hotel ballroom.

Ferguson, wearing blue jeans and a gray sweater over a white-collared shirt, walked into the room with a big smile and raised his arms

Senate respects love in paradise

New Mexico Daily Lobo

by Oskar Garcia

The Associated Press HONOLULU — The Hawaii state Senate passed a bill Tuesday legalizing gay marriage, putting Hawaii a signature away from becoming a same-sex wedding destination.

Gov. Neil Abercrombie, who called lawmakers to a special session for the bill and has vocally supported gay marriage, said in a statement he will sign the measure. It will allow thousands of gay couples living in Hawaii and even more tourists to marry in the state starting Dec. 2.

“I look forward to signing this significant piece of legislation, which provides marriage equity and fully recognizes and protects religious freedoms,” Abercrombie said.

President Barack Obama praised the bill’s passage, saying the affirmation of freedom and equality makes the country stronger.

“I’ve always been proud to have been born in Hawaii, and today’s vote makes me even prouder,” Obama said.

Senators passed the bill 19-4 with two lawmakers excused. Cheers erupted inside and outside the gallery when the vote was taken, with a smattering of boos. Senate President Donna Mercado Kim, who voted against the bill, banged her gavel and told members of the public to quiet down.

More than half the chamber’s lawmakers spoke in support of the bill, with many urging the public to come together to heal divisions within the community.

“This is nothing more than the expansion of aloha in Hawaii,” said Sen. J. Kalani English, a Democrat from Maui.

Sen. Sam Slom, the chamber’s only Republican, said the government should stay out of legislating marriage.

“People have differences, and you can’t legislate morality. You can try,

Same-sex marriage supporters rally outside the Hawaii Capitol in Honolulu ahead of a Senate vote on whether to legalize same-sex marriage Tuesday. but you can’t do it,” Slom said before voting against the bill.

Rep. Bob McDermott, a House lawmaker who filed a lawsuit to try to derail the special session, promised a new challenge once Abercrombie signs the bill. A judge said he would take the case only after the law fully passes.

An estimate from a University of Hawaii researcher says gay marriage will boost tourism by $217 million over the next three years as Hawaii becomes an outlet for couples in other states bringing ceremonies, receptions and honeymoons to the islands.

The study’s author has said

Hawaii would benefit from pentup demand for gay weddings, with couples spending $166 million over those three years on ceremonies and honeymoons.

The Senate had to take up the bill a second time because of changes made in the House, where the bill was amended and eventually passed.

The House amendments delayed the dates ceremonies could begin, slightly expanded an exemption for clergy and religious organizations, and removed regulations determining how children of samesex couples could qualify for Native Hawaiian benefits.

Sen. Clayton Hee, who steered

the bill’s passage in the chamber, said the measure was good even though he believes the religious protections granted are too broad. He said the final bill was a good compromise.

“It is landmark legislation, the weight of which is on the freedom to marry,” Hee said. “The give was broader religious decision-making.”

The measure is the culmination of more than two decades of debate in the state, where two women in 1990 famously applied for a marriage license, touching off a court battle and eventual national discussion on gay marriage.

The case led to the U.S. Congress passing the Defense of Marriage Act in

1996, part of which was struck down earlier this year by the U.S. Supreme Court. The decision that legally married same-sex couples could qualify for federal benefits led Abercrombie to call the special session in Hawaii.

The Senate vote puts Hawaii alongside Illinois, where a bill legalizing gay marriage is also awaiting the governor’s signature. Another 14 states and the District of Columbia already allow same-sex marriage.

Officials in Abercrombie’s office said details of a signing ceremony for Hawaii’s measure are still being finalized.

C-USA honors No. 1 Lobos

by J.R. Oppenheim

assistantsports@dailylobo. com @JROppenheim New Mexico men’s head soccer coach Jeremy Fishbein feels confident that the Lobos will earn a bid to the NCAA College Cup, he said.

A résumé boasting an 114-2 overall record and a firstplace finish in the Conference USA regular season will benefit the cause. What seed the Lobos receive, however, depends on how they finish at this week’s Conference USA Soccer Championship tournament in Charlotte, N.C. Claiming the C-USA regular-season championship in its debut season, UNM secured a No. 1 seed in the tournament and, more importantly, a firstround bye in the seven-team tournament. The Lobos will play Friday afternoon against either No. 4 South Carolina or No. 5 Tulsa.

UNM battled both Tulsa and South Carolina on the road, and both games ended with 1-0 outcomes. The Lobos topped the Golden Hurricanes on Oct. 9, but UNM’s only loss in the conference was to the Gamecocks 15 days later.

The tournament field includes Old Dominion, Kentucky, Alabama-Birmingham and the host, Charlotte.

“It was quite an honor in our inaugural season to win Conference USA, which is a great conference,” Fishbein said. “I think we had four teams in the top 25 RPI. It was a heck of a road, but I’m proud of the guys.”

According to Tuesday’s RPI rating on the NCAA website, Old Dominion is 16th in RPI, Charlotte is 23rd and UAB is 30th.

The Lobos enter the tournament playing some of their

best soccer this season, Fishbein said. UNM won the last three games since the South Carolina loss, and two of those opponents vied with UNM for the conference lead.

The team posted nine goals in its last three outings, its highest offensive output since the season opener against Villanova, and shut out its final two foes. In fact, UNM did not allow a single shot on goal in its Sunday finale against Kentucky.

This season UNM has surrendered 15 goals over 17 games, the second-lowest total in C-USA. Only Charlotte has fewer, with 14. Lobos rank second in shutouts, blanking teams on eight occasions. The 49ers also lead that category with nine occasions.

“We’ve just had a mantra of controlling what we have control over, discipline, attention to details,” Fishbein said. “Our guys have embraced that, and I think they’ve continued to gain confidence as this season has progressed. We take a lot of pride that we’re going to be the best-prepared team.”

C-USA releases all-conference awards The Lobos cleaned up in the all-conference awards, receiving 13 recognitions from C-USA on Tuesday morning.

UNM received more honors than any other conference team as Charlotte and Tulsa grabbed seven apiece and regular-season runner-up Old Dominion had six.

Senior defender Kyle Venter earned conference MVP, the defensive player of the year honor, and landed on the All-Conference USA First Team. Venter h Junior forward James Rogers, senior midfielder Michael Kafari and senior goalkeeper Michael

Nike N7 is also collaborating with Nevada, Florida State and Oregon State.

The purpose of the jerseys is to show that Native Americans can lead active lifestyles and to set a good example for future generations.

Oregon State was the first school to wear turquoise jerseys in 2010, becoming the first university to acknowledge Native American Heritage Month in that manner.

Dillon Farrell’s room filled up with the sound of children singing gospel music.

No, this isn’t typically how Farrell wakes up in the morning.

Farrell wasn’t even in his own bed.

New Mexico football’s starting center was in Grand Goâve, Haiti on a missionary trip for a week to help the Servants of All Ministry orphanage last May. According to the Servants of All Ministry website, it is an orphanage that provides for children’s physical, educational and spiritual needs.

“There are kids that love you no matter what you’ve been through,” Farrell said. “They just open up their love through you. They don’t have anything, and they’re thankful for what they have and they’re willing to share what they have with you.”

Farrell said he traveled there because his former high school coach, Glenn Barras, is the director and president of Servants of All Ministry.

Farrell mentioned to Barras that he would like to go to Haiti, and Barras then set up the trip.

This marked the fourth missionary trip that Farrell has been on. He made three other trips to Mexico from 200508 during his time at Christian Life Academy in Baton Rouge, La. “I think when people hear you go

UConn on top despite tough foes, injuries

by Doug Feinberg The Associated Press

STORRS, Conn. — Geno Auriemma is challenging his topranked UConn Huskies with a tough early season schedule.

So far it’s paid off.

Bria Hartley had 20 points, eight rebounds and six assists to help No. 1 Connecticut beat No. 3 Stanford 76-57 on Monday night.

It won’t get much easier for the Huskies as they have to travel to No. 8 Maryland on Friday before visiting 13th-ranked Penn State on Sunday. It’s the first time that UConn has played three Top-25 teams in a calendar week in the regular season since the Huskies opened 1998-99 playing Duke, Arkansas and UCLA in a fiveday stretch.

“It seems like these three games are not exactly teams that are going to let you do what you want to do,” Auriemma said. “It’s difficult. Maybe it’s supposed to be difficult. Last year was very easy at the beginning — we went down, won by a bunch, and everything was going smoothly. This one’s not going to go smoothly.”

It’s already taken its toll with an injury to All-American forward Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis.

She went down trying for a rebound early in the second half, landed awkwardly on her right elbow and was screaming in

pain for a few minutes before being helped to the locker room.

Auriemma isn’t sure how badly his star was hurt and hopes she’ll be available for the road trip.

“They are just going to keep evaluating her (Tuesday) and see how she responds,” Auriemma said. “They really don’t know anything right now. She landed with her palm on the floor, then when her arm bent her elbow hit the floor. There are two separate things she’s trying to figure out.”

The injury didn’t slow down the Huskies, who were in the middle of a 22-6 run that spanned the halves.

Morgan Tuck, her replacement, scored eight straight points, including two 3-pointers, to make it 53-32 with 13:19 left.

Stanford couldn’t get closer than 15 points the rest of the way.

Here are five takeaways from the early season showdown: DEPTH: Auriemma got huge contributions from his bench with the play of Kiah Stokes, Tuck and freshman Saniya Chong.

The three were instrumental in helping the Huskies come away with the victory after preseason All-American Breanna Stewart was only able to play four minutes in first half because of foul trouble and Mosqueda-Lewis got hurt.

Stokes had 10 points, 13 rebounds and six blocks.
