Renewable energy focus for summit

By Moriah Carty

A former faculty member, who also served as commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, will visit the University Wednesday for the Southwest Clean Energy Transmission Summit.

Suedeen Kelly taught at UNM’s School of Law for about 12 years before she was appointed by President George W. Bush to the commissioner of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Kelly said it is an honor to come back to UNM to discuss renewable energy. Her speech will focus on the challenges of building clean energy transmission as a broad issue, but

also specific to New Mexico.

“I hope to explain how the development of transmission for clean energy resources is different from the development of transmission for traditional resources, and that the challenges presented by the development of transmission for clean energy are things that need to be tackled by our state and federal policy makers,” she said.

Bill White, senior advisor to Americans for Clean Energy Grid and president of Norton White Energy, said the summit will focus on similar topics to Kelly’s discussion.

“The motivation for doing this is to address the problem of environmen-

Group advocating for Tent City residents

By Matthew Reisen

One local organization aims to help the residents of “Camp Resurrection” find a place to call their own in the city of Albuquerque. Dinah Vargas, a member of ABQJustice, said the group is “a grassroots direct action and advocacy organization mobilizing for social and political justice in Albuquerque and the State of New Mexico regarding accountability, state corruption, police brutality and poverty.”

ABQJustice recently got involved with the homeless community around Albuquerque, she said. The Tent City story is now, along with the campaign against police brutality, the primary focus of the group.

The Daily Lobo talked to Vargas about the homelessness problem.

What inspired your outreach endeavors with Tent City and Camp Resurrection?

“The extent to which residents of Tent City No. 1 are prepared to provide a sense of community, safety and identity to and for each other inspired our group’s direct action to put pressure on the city authorities. The people of Tent City No. 1 resisted the widespread notions that people without shelter should hide and be allowed to sleep only in the dingy corners and cracks of Albuquerque as if they do not exist. Instead of bowing down to this perception, the Tent City No. 1 residents embodied the saying

Dance event aids children LoboTHON raises money for Children’s Hospital

By Kevin Haaf LoboTHON’s wholesome fun drew hundreds of supporters, but fell short of its $62,000 fundraising goal for UNM Children’s Miracle Network Hospital.

Nearly 1,000 people came to Saturday’s dance marathon event, which raised $44,268 for children who are working hard to keep going.

After a year of planning, some of the organizers will now move on to different projects, while others plan to dedicate their fundraising talents to next year’s dance marathon.

Jessica Marrello, a freshman exercise science major, said this was her first year volunteering at LoboTHON. “I’ve been to quite a few events this school year and this is the most diverse crowd that I’ve seen

at any of them.”

Another volunteer, Marisa Poveda, a freshman chemistry major, also commented on the diversity.

She said there were people from fraternities, sororities, alumni, faculty and other groups. They came to show their support, build community, and raise funds all while having a great time, she said.

National security among topics slated for symposium

By Sayyed Shah UNM’s National Security Studies Program will kick off its annual three-day national security symposium tomorrow.

This year’s symposium, titled “Security Trends in the next Decade: Challenges, Issues and Opportunities,” will start with lectures at the law and business schools.

Topics for the three-day event will include national security, Guantanamo Bay detainees, the Ukrainian crisis and other military, cyber, legal and political global issues, according to a UNM press release.

“This University-wide event will focus on national security, broadly defined—ranging from human rights and privacy to cybersecurity.

The speakers will include nationally and UNM recognized scholars and legal experts,” said Emile Nakhleh, a research professor at UNM and a senior adviser to the National Security Studies Program.

Gregory Treverton, chairman of the U.S. National Intelligence Council will discuss global security trends for the next two decades in a keynote speech at the symposium, according the UNM press release.

tal problems, particularly the global climate change that we are faced with,” he said.

The summit is part of a larger project called the Energy Future Coalition which is part of United Nations Foundation. The first summit was in Portland, Oregon in 2010. On average, there are 100 to 200 people at each summit.

“The problem that we have, particularly with wind and solar, is that we don’t have the infrastructure to get them from the best resources to the places where people work and live,” White said.

Wind and solar powers can’t be transmitted by train or pipelines, the only way to move the power is through electrical power lines, White said. The event will attempt to address these issues among others.

New Mexico’s unusual combination of solar energy and wind energy will be a hot topic.

New Mexico has the best solar energy in the whole country, he said. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, as of 2011, the state of New Mexico was ranked third in the United States.

“New Mexico has enough resources to power the state hundreds of times over. New Mexico is a great example of a state that has enormous high quality resources that are

barely developed because the infrastructure is not in place to develop them,” White said.

By coming to New Mexico, the summit will attempt to spotlight projects that are already taking place and bring awareness to the potential in the state, he said. Working with students is also a primary focus.

Adrian Oglesby, director of the Utton Transboundary Resource Center, said part of the intent of having the event on campus is to involve students, as well as discussing how to help New Mexico benefit economically from renewable energy.

The center will also be hosting the clean energy summit, he said. The Utton Transboundary Resource is located on campus and is often associated with advising the legislature.

“I really hope (the event) gets people thinking about how we do have an abundance of the energy resources in New Mexico,” he said.

“It’s a state that’s suffering on the job side, suffering on the economy side — this presents a wonderful opportunity for us to create jobs and create money.”

Oglesby said he wonders if the state can set the stage for the rest of the U.S. as far as renewable energies go.

In terms of speakers on the panel, there are some great minds that will be talking, he said.

According to the press release, the event will feature keynote addresses from U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., as well as Kelly. "(All of the speakers) are all exceedingly well qualified,” Kelly said.

The issue of transmission will be key in discussing renewable energies. Each of the panels hone in on the topic with titles such as “Does transmission have a role in achieving environmental goals?” and “Are transmission expansion and upgrades compatible with both small and large scale energy?” and others.

“It’s pretty exciting,” Oglesby said. “I think it’s going to be a good event.”

cybersecurity threats to U.S. businesses, for example, Sony; and human-centric security,” Nakhleh said.

The symposium will provide UNM students with a great opportunity to ponder these national issues and meet high-level speakers from the U.S. government and from the private sector, he said.

“I strongly encourage UNM faculty and students, regardless of majors or areas of expertise, to attend as many panels as possible because this symposium cuts across most ma-

jors, schools and departments,” he said.

The symposium will address some of the cutting edge issues that are of concern to the citizens collectively and individually with national and global concerns and values, Nakhleh said.

Permanent housing remains the ideal but a sanctioned tent city would prevent all the unsheltered people who are not yet eligible for such housing to fall through the gaps as they currently do. Our concept of a structured tent city provides housing realities.”

What are some possible solutions to overcome these obstacles?

“The acknowledgement of the full complexity of homelessness is a good place to start.

We have people living out on the streets for a variety of reasons but they are all still part of our city and should be treated as human beings. We should acknowledge that these very real people have ordinary human needs, and then simple compassion. Not just from the authorities but from the Albuquerque community in general.”

What are your hopes for the future of those residents at Camp Resurrection and the general homeless population?

“What I hope for the residents of Camp Resurrection and every other person in the city is to matter in the eyes and actions of our local government. That when words like ‘solutions’ and ‘innovation’ are being uttered by the mayor they mean empowerment and justice for

people and communities and not a curb filled with giant rocks aimed at ridding the city of one of its realities, the homeless.”

What would help you and the city best reach that final outcome?

“A simple phone call back from the Mayor’s Office would be great for starters.

Deputy Chief Administrative Officer Gilbert Montano of CABQ could also make good on his documented promise to call us to schedule a sit down. ABQJustice does not pretend to have all the answers, because we simply don’t have them, together we all do. Yet members of ABQJustice have now worked intimately and intensively with that portion of the unsheltered population that is normally ignored.

“We have also presented the city with a viable and detailed proposal that could be implemented immediately if the city and the mayor wanted to. While this proposal might not be perfect — and it seems not to the city’s liking — we are still waiting to see a substantive proposal from the city’s side.”

‘resist to exist,’ and Tent City has increasingly become iconic of both the possibility and the feasibility of a stable and structured homeless community.”

What do you believe are Albuquerque’s biggest obstacles in stemming the issue of homelessness?

“The primary obstacle is CABQ’s and Mayor (Richard) Berry’s seeming inability to have an honest conversation about homelessness in general, or truthfully address the ‘problem’ with real innovations and solutions that actually change the conditions of homelessness. What is currently happening, the best that we can gather from the outside looking in is that CABQ and Mayor Berry continue to fund service provision models that do not take into account that the homeless demographic no longer consists of men only and now rather includes an increasing number of single women, couples, families and pet owners.

“This is by no means a new trend and yet the local policies have not caught up with the reality on the streets. The city wasted so much money with its voucher program that was little more than an ineffectual Band-Aid.

Several student groups worked together to make LoboTHON happen, including regent scholars, the UNM rugby team and participants of the national competition Up to Us. Dasante Browne, a sophomore biochemistry major and a member of the rugby team, said the team raised money to donate specifically to LoboTHON. Another rugby player, sophomore engineering major Erick Laight, said he enjoyed visiting the UNM Children’s Hospital after last year’s LoboTHON. “We like to help. It’s about giving as a team, bringing people together and being a good person,” Laight said.

Tori Pryor, the operations director for LoboTHON, said she orchestrated a steady flow of volunteers with questions, concerns and action items.

“Spending time with the kids makes it all worth it,” Pryor said.

Brittany Devereaux, a sophomore communications major, said she heard about the event from her friends, who helped put it on.

Even though LoboTHON held special meaning, Devereaux said she is involved with other fundraising endeavors.

“It’s a healthy way to spend a Saturday and it’s great to see people coming together to enjoy themselves for a cause. They form communities and bonds,” Devereaux said.

Pryor said she was going to focus her attention on International Business Student Global next semester.

Marrello and Pavedo said that they were going to focus on finishing up their school year and begin work on LoboTHON in the fall.

Marrello said the idea was amazing because it combined her passion for dancing and philanthropy. Pavedo said that attaining the goal of helping children is, to her, inspiring and miraculous.

Light pollution found to be wasteful and harmful

By Amy Adams

Light pollution refers to excessive and unproductive artificial light that intrudes on the night landscape. Sometimes light pollution results from too many light sources crowding an area, which produce more light than needed.

More often, light pollution results from lighting structures that direct light poorly, usually to the extent that less than half of the light emitted is used for the intended purpose of illuminating a particular object or patch of ground. Remaining light is wasted, usually radiating into space, illuminating unintended areas, or casting glare that interferes with night vision and surveillance.

Wasted light means wasted energy, which means a U.S. artificial lighting carbon footprint equivalent to 9.5 million cars and energy cost of $7 billion that could be avoided along with other unsustainable consequences if only efficient lighting strategies were in place.

There are profound astronomical and social consequences of light pollution. For example, light pollution causes the astronomical phenomenon known as “sky glow,” where the sky is washed out and stars rendered invisible from light that is radiating into the atmosphere. Less than 1 percent of humans live in areas where true darkness occurs at night.

People who live in inner city areas often have lower socioeconomic status and encounter more crime on average than people living elsewhere in a city, and it is also in these areas that sky glow is at its most severe. Children confined to inner city areas often grow up without ever seeing stars, let alone other components of the natural world, which is a problem known as “nature deficit disorder.” Therefore sky glow can be an indicator of overarching equity issues and can contribute to unsustainable life styles.

Light trespass can also interfere with biological processes in humans and ecosystems.

For example, artificial illumination can inter-

Year Zero

fere with food collection and reproduction in nocturnal organisms such as bats, owls, moths, spiders, crickets, fireflies and frogs. Artificial light has also been known to stunt growth and development in the young of these creatures.

Artificial lights can attract and become death traps for creatures that depend on the light of the moon for navigation, including moths and baby sea turtles. In addition, the intensity and type of light can disrupt circadian rhythms in both diurnal and nocturnal creatures. Bird calls and migration patterns are affected by disrupted circadian rhythms, and increased mortality usually results.

Humans’ melatonin production is affected by disrupted circadian rhythms, which can lead to increased risk for cancers and cardiovascular diseases. Even plants’ photosynthetic machinery can be impaired through disrupted circadian rhythms, causing physiological stress and deformities.

Light pollution is clearly detrimental to the economic, environmental and equity pillars of

sustainability, though it receives less attention relative to other forms of pollution. Therefore, it is important to increase awareness of light pollution for the purpose of valuing and promoting healthy and sustainable lifestyles and reductions in nature deficit disorder.

Individuals, businesses and communities should be able to reduce light pollution by making educated decisions about how to illuminate areas. Examples include considering optimal fixture designs, locations, and numbers and judging if it is truly necessary to keep certain fixtures, such as porch lights or building signs, burning from dusk until dawn.

Reductions in crime, biological harm and energy costs can follow from utilizing the most efficient structures that accommodate night vision and circadian rhythms and direct light appropriately instead of indiscriminately emitting intense and unshielded light.

After months of preparation and an intense competition, three UNM students and one UNM professor earned four of the five top positions on the 2015 Grand Slam team.

After pouring their hearts and souls out for the audience, the new team members were selected: Matthew Brown, Mercedez Holtry, Damien Flores, Kalid Binsunni and Aaron Cuffee.

Holtry, a junior journalism major, placed second place at the 2015 Grand Slam. After listening to a showcase presented by some of Albuquerque’s renowned slam poets, Holtry said she realized she wanted to perform and began competing in poetry slams.

“The cool thing about slam is that it’s not necessarily about competition as much as it is about creating a space where people are encouraged to speak their voice and their stories and to embrace what they’ve gone through using the art of spoken word,” she said.

Holtry has won several slam events including the Albuquerque City Championship and the Albuquerque Women of the World City Championship, she said.

“Slam gives an open and safe environment for people to come out and say this is who I am and what I do,” she said.

“The scores are whatever at the end of the day.”

Binsunni, who placed fourth in the 2015 grand slam and is a junior social work major, said he writes about social justice, racism, foster care and his own personal issues. For many, including Binsunni, there are benefits in writing poetry, he said “It helps me keep my sanity in this crazy world,” Binsunni said. “I feel that it can help people if they allow it to.”

Brown, the winner of the 2015 Grand Slam and a sophomore psychology and political science major, said poetry had a similar effect on him.

“You get to tackle a lot of problems.

It seems hard to write about something difficult and then read it to a bunch of people, but somehow it’s a lot easier because you get to speak and everyone just listens. It’s very healing,” he said.

The performance aspect of the poems requires extensive practice and memorization. Each poem must be delivered in three minutes or less, according to the rules of the competition.

“I practice my poems hundreds of times over, even though I have them all memorized,” Brown said.

Flores, a Chicano studies professor who took third place, agreed that memorizing pieces for slam poetry takes a lot of time.

“You get to lose four months of your life,” said Flores. “Our rehearsal schedule is very serious. This is professionallevel performance poetry.”

For the competition, five judges are randomly selected from the audience to assign scores between zero to 10 for each poem. The final five poets with the highest scores go on to compete at the National Poetry Slam in Oakland, California in August.

The competition started with 11 poets. After the first round, the three with the lowest scores were eliminated, and after the second round two more were eliminated. The third round determined the places of the five winners and the alternate.

Fashion Week show boosts NM designers Fashion as Art exhibit showcases local talent and creativity

By Khadijah Jacobs The second annual New Mexico Fashion Week Runway Show, held Saturday at the Albuquerque Convention Center, sought to recognize and promote local designers, businesses, manufacturers and other aspects of the fashion industry.

Melissa Beasley, founder and executive director of Albuquerque Apparel Center, said she recognizes that there are a lot of creative people throughout New Mexico and wants to play a role in promoting those people in the fashion industry.

“The biggest event in the fashion industry is fashion week … this is a premier event that brings notoriety and publicity for our designers as well as networking opportunities,” Beasley said.

New Mexico Fashion Week strives toward embracing diversity and presenting the wide variety of styles that can be found in the local fashion industry, she said.

“People who have never been here before think we’re only southwest, cowboys and Indians kinds of designs and we’re so much more than that,” Beasley said.

The 12 designers featured in the show range from students to celebrity designers, according to the Fashion Week program guide.

The Fashion Week event added something new to the show this year: a Fashion as Art exhibit and competition. Patty Boldridge, coproducer of Fashion as Art, said the exhibit was an opportunity for

artists to step out of their comfort zones and create unique pieces that combine fashion design and sculpting techniques.

Boldridge said she worked with Meredith Lockhart, a fashion designer and the other co-producer, to create a dress made out of covers from “Cowboys & Indians” magazine for the exhibit.

However, she said the dress was not included in the competition because Boldridge and Lockhart wanted the competition to be solely for the artists.

According to the New Mexico Fashion Week website, the participating artists had to make extraordinary dresses from mostly nontraditional materials such as metal, plastic and rubber.

Many of the sculptures were inspired by New Mexican culture.

One design was made from New Mexican license plates while others were created with local magazine covers.

The winner in the Fashion as Art student division was from Santa Fe Prep and the adult division winner was a businesswoman from Taos.

Gabrielle Torres, Miss Albuquerque 2014 and a sophomore criminology and communications major, hosted the three-hour event and said fashion week is about supporting local talent.

Torres also walked the runway as a model for A. Tsagas Designs and Montecristi Custom Hat Works. She said she enjoyed modeling during the show because she was excited to promote the design-
