ArtStreet paints a bright future

By Matthew Reisen The final part of a series about homelessness in Albuquerque.

Looking at Jimmy Lujan, it is hard to imagine the trials he has faced.

Lujan, a member on the board of directors for Health Care for The Homeless, sits smiling next to his wife Shawna and 5-month-old daughter Akiya.

Life for Lujan was not always so hopeful, he said. Until three years ago he was one of the many people experiencing homelessness on the streets of Albuquerque.

Lujan, 55, was raised in northern New Mexico and worked as a licensed funeral director and embalmer for 27 years, he said.

That changed in 2006, he said, when his wife of 13 years was murdered.

“I just gave up, lost everything. I could not even work. I ended up on the streets,” he said. “Anybody can become homeless; it never even dawned on me that I would end up on the streets. Just never did, but things happen. It can change a life.”

C&J prof. studies media techniques

By David Lynch

There are many theories about which methods are most effective at delivering news information to the public, but one UNM professor is certain that he knows which technique is the best.

Journalism professor Richard Schaefer and senior journalism major Natalia Jacquez have finished collecting data for a study that will analyze which visualization techniques in news are most effective in conveying information to audiences.

Schaefer said the primary question driving the study was ‘which of three visualization techniques are

most effective in helping audiences develop cognitive, or informational, understanding of the issue at hand?’

“Journalists today tend to utilize the montage technique,” Schaefer said. “It is getting easier and more widespread because of modern programs.”

Schaefer explained that the montage technique is used to convey abstract arguments and concepts to viewers, while visualization is meant to induce empathy in the audience. The continuity technique is utilized by many journalists to create structured narrative by putting an individual face on the issue.

Climate scientist: reform is about framing the issue

By Lena Guidi

When David Gutzler applied to the doctoral program in meteorology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he did not know what to expect.

He said he had recently graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in engineering physics and had never taken a climate or meteorology class.

“I had no idea what I was getting into, but I figured that I would find something fun to do,” he said.

“Looking back, I am astounded that any respectable meteorology department admitted me for graduate study.”

Now, Gutzler is a professor at UNM’s Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences. His research focuses on climate predictability in the Southwest, with an emphasis on water systems. He said New Mexico faces unique challenges posed by anthropogenic climate change

Strangers’ lives made stranger YouTubers put UNM students on the spot

By Moriah Carty Feeding students corndogs, smashing pies on people’s faces and holding hands with strangers are all part of one duo’s attempt to make UNM a little more social.

AntiSocial, a new YouTube channel created by students Levi Martinez and Christian Puckett, captures unsuspecting students during awkward interactions.

They have posted nine videos over the course of three months, each averaging 2,000 views.

Martinez, a junior liberal arts

major, said the idea came from watching online videos of people having fun joking with others.

They don’t like using the word “prank” because it is too childish, and that is not their intent, he said.

Ultimately, Martinez said he wants to make campus life more exciting.

“I think people are not used to interacting with random strangers,” Martinez said. “It’s fun to spice things up and throw a curveball.”

Martinez said his favorite gimmick is seeing how long they can hold other students’ hands. They proceed by asking for directions, shake hands

and hold the individual’s hand for as long as they can while walking to the destination.

Martinez wasn’t always so outgoing, he said. When he was younger, he often hid behind his parents and didn’t want to be around other people. That changed in September, when he and Puckett decided to break their own comfort zones.

“We want to challenge people to meet strangers and break social norms,” he said. “I now like

interacting with random strangers and having fun with them. I want to build that culture and challenge other people to do the same.”

Puckett, a sophomore liberal arts major, said he looks for people who he thinks will give decent reactions.

Ideally, they want to lighten other students’ moods and make them have a better day, he said.

“At the same time, our audience is YouTube,” Puckett said. “Trying to create two separate communities, one at UNM — to try and do cool stuff here — but then also try to build a community of YouTube fans, is fun.”

They want to challenge people through their videos as well, he said.

“In America we are raised to stay in our space, in our little homes with our walls, and so it’s cool to break that norm and do something different. People like their comfort zones,” Puckett said. “It is fun to do the unexpected.”

Stephen Haynes, a close friend of Martinez,

He said he hopes that when he and Jacquez analyze their findings, they will conclude that visualization is the most effective, contrary to various studies that state continuity is the most effective.

“I’ve come to care more about visualization — that’s what I teach more of and it’s what I believe in,” Schaefer said.

“I’m hoping that (our data) will combat the prevailing theory that the method of putting a face on the story produces empathy.”

However, Schaefer said the study goes much deeper than simply finding out which techniques help audiences get more from watching news. The different amounts of information that the public gets from news correlates to a bigger argument about elite representative democracy versus a democracy in which everyone is informed and everyone participates, he said.

“We’re trying to deal with a very old debate,” Schaefer said. “We have a need to inform all citizens in a democracy, especially at a time when public opinion is constantly being measured.”

Schaefer said it is very important that the public be informed, and the techniques

said the videos have definitely inspired him to leave his comfort zone.

“Everybody tends to want to walk down the road and be undisturbed, and make it from point A to point B. They miss out on a lot of fun interactions,” Haynes said. “(Martinez and Puckett) tend to break down that wall.”

There is a lot to be said about the reactions received from the students, Haynes said. People aren’t very social; they are focused on themselves.

“If they do it, I can totally do it,” he said.

Haynes worked with Martinez and Puckett in this week’s video as a cameraman. They organized a flash mob consisting of various UNM students as well as some of their friends.

The group sat outside the SUB entrance and waited until someone walked out. On Martinez’s cue, the group stood up, clapped for a few seconds and promptly sat down.

Syam Dokuparthi, a first-year computer science graduate student, said he was not

startled as he had seen similar pranks online.

“I was not nervous because it is our college and our students,” Dokuparthi said. “It is good (to see the interaction between students). If one doesn’t know what is happening then they will be shocked.”

Dokuparthi said he felt that the interaction should not be shocking because students should want to interact with others.

Cinthia Ramirez, a freshman nursing major, said her initial reaction was to be confused.

“I thought, ‘what the f**k’?,” Ramirez said. “I was like, ‘is this for me?’”

journalists use to tell their stories are significant in that regard.

“Media visualization involves translating a set of images into a new image which can reveal patterns,” according to a 2011 study

by Lev Manovich, a media theory professor in New York.

The study states that these images then help the audience deduce cognitive information from news, something which Schaefer said is more important than ever in our day and age.

“Cognition is not ‘are you empathetic?’ or ‘are you going to take action?’”

Schaefer said. “It’s ‘do you understand the information?’”

Starting in mid-October, Schaefer began collecting data from a variety of age groups.

He visited classes at UNM and presented his study, asking students to participate in his survey. He finished collecting his data from students on Wednesday, although he said he would like to get a few more middleaged groups in the study.

“It was easy to get students to participate in the survey,” Schaefer said. “Adults are actually worse.”

Schaefer said he would present three stories to his audience, each with a different method of visualizing data. The audience would then choose whether to take part in a survey, from which Schaefer and Jacquez will be able to see which types of stories yielded certain reactions.

According to a handout Schaefer gives to all participants in his study, the findings from his research “will provide information on how journalists can best communicate information through the use of different video news techniques.”

Schaefer said he believes the visualization technique to be the most effective, and that journalism education should focus on that method in producing news.

“Visualization is very important, but we routinely teach the continuity technique,” Schaefer said. “We live in an age where the information — the baseline information — is king. So I’d rather it be taught the other way around.”

He spent three years living on the streets, facing the dangers of a life without adequate shelter, he said. “(I was) living on the streets, behind dumpsters, or even sometimes parks — wherever I could find any kind of safety,” he said. “It is dangerous to live out there. People get jumped or people get murdered; people get hurt, just because you are homeless.”

Beyond the threat of violence, Lujan also dealt with drug and alcohol abuse, he said.

He is now six years sober and has been housed for three, he said.

His recovery began in 2006, when a friend introduced him to ArtStreet at Albuquerque Health Care for the Homeless, he said.

ArtStreet is a program through which people like Lujan can produce art free of charge and even sell it, he said. The program holds shows all year throughout

Albuquerque and Santa Fe. The artists, mostly homeless, take home 100 percent of any profits made from their work, he said. An artist his whole life, Lujan renewed his passion through the program and even made some money for himself, he said.

“It is therapeutic, there is no doubt about it. I can paint for hours and hours and I feel good when I am painting. Visions that I see in my head, I can actually put on a canvas,” he said. “There were times I would sell a painting, make a hundred bucks.

I could rent a room for a couple of nights and have some dinner and have a shower to myself, or go out and buy clothes.”

Once he got involved with ArtStreet, Lujan began accepting AHCH medical assistance and jumpstarted his road to recovery, he said.

He got an evaluation and received the medications and therapy he needed to get back on his feet, he said.

Anita Cordova, director of development, planning and evaluation at AHCH, said Lujan was recognized for his commitment and offered him a position on the board of directors.

AHCH tries to recruit board members who have used their services and overcome homelessness, she said, to better inform their work.

The board of directors determines programming, what works and what does not, deciding where funding should go, she said.

“We need consumers to help us inform that, but you can’t just throw someone into the board. It can be intimidating, and we have a lot to learn too, so the exchange of growing together is really important,” Cordova said. “As we learn, hopefully they learn and we learn from them. It’s a partnership that Jimmy has thrived through, and now gives back in such a way that helps the organization excel,

not just succeed.”

Lujan thanked AHCH for his recovery and the opportunity he now has to give back to those in need, he said.

“AHCH was, to me, the foundation of God’s grace — to get on my feet.

Because without the therapy, doctors, ArtStreet, I would not be on my feet now. It is just grown and grown,” Lujan said. “You cannot get any other resources until you have got the bare basics. These people will help you with the basics, so progression can start from there in enriching lives.”

After serving on the board of directors for two years, Lujan is an example that there is hope even in the darkest of times, he said.

Surrounded by his family, Lujan wants those who suffer to know they are not alone and all is not lost, he said.

“Do not be afraid to get help; do not be afraid to ask for resourc-

es. Resources are the most valuable thing a person on the streets can have. That can help you with your mental health, your physical health.

That can help you get into housing, which is half the battle,” Lujan said.

“We want the public to be aware that people can get better. A lot of people want to get better, they want to get housed, want to work.”

Aside from AHCH, Lujan volunteers at Project Share, and he can often be found playing guitar for the people at Community of Hope, a Methodist ministry for the poor, on Sundays, he said.

because it has struggled with water throughout its history.

“Here in New Mexico we can see abundant evidence of past settlements that thrived for a while and then either collapsed or moved,” Gutzler said.

The climate variability and water shortages certainly played roles in the social stress that prevented settlers from staying in New Mexico, he said. This trend has implications for how New Mexicans might adapt to future climate changes.

“People today struggle with the same problems that people have always faced in this arid and variable climate,” he said, “but there are lots more of us now than lived here in times past, and our resource consumption per person is bigger.”

The short-term effects of climate change are evident in the historic drought New Mexico has experienced for the past four years, he said.

“Long-term droughts are likely to get much worse as temperatures increase — and a warming trend in temperature is the most confident forecast we can make over the next century, as the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere goes up and up,” Gutzler said. “If the past is any indication, the drought will eventually let up and precipitation will increase.”

However, current models do not always predict the ends of droughts accurately; sometimes they last for years longer than expected.

Gutzler said that there are concrete paths to mitigating the harsh effects of climate change, such as implementing renewable energy on a large scale or sequestering carbon dioxide from fossil fuels. He said that the roadblocks to these solutions are mostly political.

“Fossil fuels are abundant and cheap, and the fossil fuel industry has tremendous political clout, both in the USA and in other countries,”

he said. “If the global community could get past the stonewalling and finger-pointing, and treat climate change mitigation as an engineering problem rather than a political issue, then we’d just get it done.”

On Nov. 28 the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its Fifth Assessment Report, which detailed the current research on the risks and possible adaptations to anthropogenic climate change. Gutzler was retained by the IPCC to write the section on changes to the global water cycle.

“In many regions, changing precipitation or melting snow and ice are altering hydrological systems, affecting water resources in terms of quantity and quality,” the IPCC’s Policymaker Summary stated.

Gutzler’s current hydrological research involves studying historical data on the Pecos and Gila Rivers, as well as smaller streams, to analyze how they have been affected by rain-

fall, snowpacks and temperature fluctuations.

He uses these data to make predictions about future streamflows.

Gutzler said he hopes that breakthroughs in climate change prediction models make people understand the importance of conserving limited resources, especially in places like New Mexico, where there were water shortages.

“Studying climate change ought to motivate us to preserve resources, be responsible environmental stewards and increase our resiliency to climate variability and change,” he said. “Are we smart enough to do all that, or will we choose to just deplete rivers, aquifers, forests and other resources and then move on?”

Social media may be killing our social lives

By Jason Darensburg

I see hundreds of people on my way to class every week, and I try to smile, tip my hat or at least nod to anyone who walks by. Only rarely do I get any sort of response. More often than not, folks simply ignore me. Most people walk right on by, too busy sulking to acknowledge another human being crossing their path.

I’m not going to stop doing it, though. As disappointed as I am with humanity, I still enjoy human interaction — and besides, I’m just trying to be polite. I mean, is it really that difficult to connect with another human being — even for a split-second?

I can accept that kids are under a lot more stress than when I was growing up, and people are extremely busy nowadays. Others are not so kind, however.

Renowned British neuroscientist Baroness Susan Greenfield is an outspoken member

of the House of Lords who is currently causing quite a stir in academic circles with her controversial new book, “Mind Change.”

Greenfield’s research adds fuel to the debate over the influence technology is having on society. She warns that digitalization is altering our perception — and that the impact on young people should concern parents and educators.

Greenfield, who is also a professor at Oxford University, believes that modern technology is re-wiring the human brain, particularly in children who have grown up surrounded by it. “The mid-21st century mind might almost be infantilized, characterized by short attention spans, sensationalism, inability to empathize and a shaky sense of identity,” she said at a recent talk.

The brain is exquisitely designed to adapt to its environment. Because of the rapidly-changing social climate that advanced technology has created, our brains may also be changing in unprecedented ways.

So, what effect does our addiction to flat

screens have on the way we relate to others?

“Mind Change” focuses on three main points: 1) Social media is affecting our sense of identity, our self-esteem and our ability to empathize. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter all provide endless distractions, but little substance.

Greenfield argues that kids today are developing in a world where relationships are increasingly formed online, which means they are less able to recognize important social cues like body language and non-verbal communication.

2) Video games shorten attention spans and increase recklessness and aggression.

Greenfield warned that instead of using their imaginations, children are more likely to sit in front of computer screens now, staring at a menu of choices someone else has designed. Frequent exposure to violent video games desensitizes young people to the suffering of others, despite what industry-sponsored experts say.

3) Many people confuse information with knowledge. We are bombarded with virtually

limitless information 24/7, but if there is no context, one fact is the same as any other fact.

Search engines make us intellectually lazy, according to Greenfield.

There is hope, however. A recent study found that when smartphones and other devices were taken away from pre-teens for a few days, their interpersonal skills greatly improved. The message is simple: people need to be aware that there are other things they could be doing with their time outside of cyberspace.

“I don’t want to join the Amish, I’m not anti-technology, but we need to be in control,” Greenfield said. “This is something we should be thinking about.”

Try to keep that in mind over the winter break.

Many immigrants flee here from war, persecution and severe poverty caused largely by the U.S. Many immigrants would prefer to stay in their native lands if living conditions there greatly improved.

We USA-ans (to designate people in the U.S., because all people living in North, Central and South America are Americans) need to change, to live simply and fairly in the world family of 7 billion people. We must stop glamorizing U.S. greed, cars and big houses in U.S. movies and magazines, which

seduce people abroad to come here and get addicted to the stupid crap most USA-ans are addicted to.

I lived well all of 2013 on $4,882 for my total expenses: rent, food, etc. I enjoy living simply on less than half the U.S. poverty level for me as a single person. I have no right to more than I need while others in this world have less than they need.

I oppose treating immigrants as criminals just because they do not have legal papers.

The United States invaded Mexico in 1848

and murdered many people. The United States stole from Mexico most of what is now the U.S. Southwest. I oppose the wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

I support full human rights for all immigrants. All immigrants are my sisters and brothers.

New Mexico Daily Lobo

Thursday, December 4, 2014 / Page 5

New players and old make Lobo fans howl Kyle Tomasi New Mexico fans saw a young team mature right before their eyes on Wednesday night.

UNM (4-3) defeated the NMSU Aggies 6247 in the Lobos’ first game at the newly named WisePies arena, filled with 15,335 cheering Lobo (and a handful of Aggie) fans.

Junior College transfer and junior walk-on Tim Jacobs played his best game of his young Lobo career. He notched nine points on 4-7 shooting and had four assists. He made multiple plays down the stretch that don’t show up in the stat sheet, as well.

“That’s why we recruited him. Everybody can say what they want, that he’s a walk on — he’s not a walk on, he was recruited to play here,” head coach Craig Neal said. “He’s what New Mexico’s about.”

Freshman forward Joe Furstinger saw minimal minutes, but made the best of his short time on the court. He started the game with a monstrous dunk that got the Lobo faithful’s juices flowing. He added a 3-pointer minutes after and finished with five points.

“Joe’s going to be a good player,” Neal said.

“Joe’s a lot farther along than we thought. Joe is a gamer; Joe is tough; Joe wants to be successful. Joe wants to be a player — Joe wants to be a Lobo.”

Senior guard Deshawn Delaney had his best game in a Lobo uniform as far as points go. He was aggressive from the start, scoring 10 of the Lobos’ first 21 points and finished with a careerhigh 22 points and seven rebounds.

Fellow senior guard Hugh Greenwood seemed to have climbed out of his shooting slump from last week. He went 0-11 in Sunday’s loss to USC, but bounced back and scored eight points, added three assists, five rebounds and four steals.

“We need Hugh,” Jacobs said. “He’s our senior leader and in practice he shoots the lights out, so when we get to the game we expect nothing less than that.”

Neal said he was pleased with his team’s performance, but they are still not where they need to be overall.

Lobo junior guard Tim Jacobs, 25, attempts to pass Aggie guard Travon Landry, 0, during the game against New Mexico State University at WisePies Arena on Wednesday night. The Lobos defeated the Aggies 62-47.

“Those rivalry games are tough. I just knew my guys would come out and play,” he said.

“Let’s don’t get it out of hand: we’ve got a long way to go, and my job is to be a teacher, my job is to help my young team, and were going to continue to work.”

The Lobos had a season-high 17 bench points, which was kick-started by Jacobs and Furstinger.

Aggie standout guard Daniel Mullings came into Wednesday’s contest averaging 13.9 points per game and the Lobos held him to 10 points, eight of which came in the first half.

Neal attributes much of Mullings’ struggle to the fact that UNM utilized a 2-3 zone against the Aggies (3-5) almost the entire game.

“We just took his dribble-drive away by playing zone,” he said. “When you do that, it’s

hard to drive it.”

The Lobos’ next game will be on the road against Valparaiso on Saturday at 6:00 p.m.

Art center hosts nude figure-drawing class

By Mateo Rocha

A watchful eye and steady hand brings the human figure to life through intuitive lines, values and colors produced on the artist’s medium.

As a part of its adult art courses, the Harwood Art Center hosts weekly open-drawing sessions with a live nude model to promote artistic learning through in-person observation of the human body.

Julia Mandeville, chief programs officer for the center, said she hopes the open-draw sessions will help artists and models feel more accepting of the human body.

The sessions are a great way for practicing professional artists to refresh their live drawing skills as well as expand their artistic rosters, she said.

“Anybody who is trying to build that fundamental skill portfolio for art really needs to be attuned to (the human form), and anything that makes us more comfortable with ourselves and with other people is beautiful,” Mandeville said. “When we create environments in which it can be respected, we are really doing a great service.”

Using models is a fundamental skill for artists to practice, she said.

“It is probably the most profound exercise that one can do to create a strong relationship between the eye and hand,” Mandeville said.

Dorothy King, moderator for the open draw sessions, said it

is important to understand the proportions of human anatomy through the practice of drawing in live sessions.

“Proportion is the fundamental core of drawing the figure,” King said. “It is important to observe the real object in order to understand the three-dimensional perspective and the effects of lighting.”

The open-draw sessions allow participants to express their own interpretations of the human form through their desired mediums, she said.

Understanding the human figure can form the basis for many fields of application such as portraiture, illustration, sculpture and even medical illustration, she said. Katie Neeley, one of the many live-figure models for the open-draw sessions, said every person attending has their own unique purpose for coming.

“Some of the artists may be very serious and are studying anatomy,” Neeley said. “Some may be UNM or CNM students who take figure drawing at their schools but need more practice.”

Ja xo n S o rby, a ju nior psychology major, said the opendraw sessions are accessible and cheap, allowing for him to fulfill his independent artistic endeavor of producing comics.

“The human body is one of the most difficult things that an artist can draw because there are all these subtleties,” he said.

“I can integrate this with my characters and cartoons since I

have that structure to fall back on, an understanding on how flesh and bones work.”

Nudity in itself is a purposeful bareness, and in the case of the open -draw it is an artistic purpose, he said.

“They call it artistic nudity, not an artistic nakedness. Naked is bareness, a vulnerability,” Sorby said.

People will always hold contrasting opinions about bareness because it is a topic integrated with each respective culture in a society, he said.

Movie Review

Space film grounded by too much ambition

By Graham Gentz

I think I’m mostly sad that I didn’t like “Interstellar.”

It seemed like everything was in place for it to be an intriguing, Chris Nolan-directed epic about space that pushed more science than science fiction. Also, it seemed to push the reality of humanity truly beginning its first steps into colonizing beyond Earth. In terms of subject matter, there is almost nothing that fascinates and excites me more.

“Interstellar” is about a team of space explorers, led by a farmer (Mathew McConaughey), who search for a habitable planet because the Earth is dying.

What I didn’t expect was how completely goofy it was going to be.

The past 15 years have seen Nolan go from a director of small, neo-noir films like “The Following,” “Memento” and “Insomnia,” to winning the hearts and minds of nerds, as well as the world at large, with the Batman “Dark Knight Trilogy.” Now that he’s “The Christopher Nolan” and not “Just Some Guy,” there appears to be more and more room for him to self-indulge. And, much like the page count of the Harry Potter books, you can see the lengths of Nolan’s films increase over time.

Which brings us back to “Interstellar,” Nolan’s silliest and most self-indulgent movie to date.

Clearly, a lot of time and research went into making spatial anatomies accurate, but ultimately the film feels hollow, like a giant sack stretched too large and too far.

Yes, it’s beautiful to look at, but there’s really nothing inside.

Considering the obsessive detail taken with the visual spectacle, it is a bit shocking how flimsy the guts of the movie — the characters, the plot, the storytelling itself — truly are.

Maybe that’s the answer in and of itself. But I do feel sad when I walk out of a movie theatre after watching a film about space exploration that boils down to a 169-minute fireworks show.

“Interstellar” feels like too many movies shoved into one, all of which distract from one another. Apart from the utterly extraneous Ken Burns documentary clips, the opening act of the film is quite enjoyable. There is some character-focused worldbuilding, which is thin on exposition.

But the movie quickly dissolves into a predictable plot of convenience, full of clunky explanation, psychotic pacing, disruptive editing, terrible dialogue, flat characters and often atrocious acting.

“‘Interstellar’ feels like too many movies shoved into one.”

awful to save, but Hathaway spends her time either being snippy and passive-aggressive or just making terrible decisions. The low point of her character, however, comes in the form of an awful, ridiculous monologue about how the power of love is an extraplanar force from the fifth dimension.

The strangest casting choice is revealed when Matt Damon arrives. The obtuse foreshadowing award goes to the other characters for referring to him simply as “the best of us” over and over, like a slogan from the back of a pamphlet.

Plus, his name is “Dr. Mann,” which lacks so much subtlety that

even Charles Dickens must be rolling his eyes in his grave.

Mostly, it just doesn’t end. I feel like there is a solid two-hour movie somewhere in the floating threehour mass. And it doesn’t make a lot of sense. I’m not talking about the high-minded astrophysical philosophy or the film’s pondering on general relativity. Characters are simple, despite the movie’s selfproclaimed complexity. “I miss my daughter” is the only emotional beat for the entirety of the movie’s massive bulk. Despite its huge aspirations, “Interstellar” ends up being forgettable and bland.

I’ll give “Interstellar” that it’s an

ambitious film. I’d rather more films try to do too much rather than too little. But in the film entertainment business, productions go where the money is, and there will be 100 “Transformers” films or move adaptations of the latest teenybopper book craze for every one “Interstellar.” And I can’t help but feel that this was largely a missed opportunity to make something both stellar and cerebral.

Graham Gentz Daily Lobo Often, I would get flashbacks to the abysmal Alien prequel “Prometheus,” which suffered from similar problems: a mediocre B-movie sci-fi plot with stunning visuals thanks to an outrageous budget.

There are some really distracting casting choices, too.

John Lithgow’s character Donald shows up to be grumpy and not make jokes. Topher Grace as Getty graces the screen with the most pointless role in the entire film.

Anne Hathaway surprised the world with a killer performance as Catwoman in “The Dark Knight Rises,” but as Brand in “Interstellar,” she seems terribly out of place. Perhaps it’s just that the writing of her character is too

Yule celebrations light up the longest night

By Skylar Griego

Shortest day, longest night: the Winter Solstice is approaching.

Among the commonly-known holidays this time of year, there is another lesser-known sacred day celebrated by those who practice witchcraft, generally referred to as Pagans. Yule, or Winter Solstice, is celebrated on Dec. 21 this year.

Erin Watson, president of the UNM Pagan Student Group, said she celebrates Yule by spending time with her fiancé, friends and family, as well as with her coven of witches.

“I think the big thing to

remember is that regardless of the Solstice myth — and every culture has one — is the overarching theme of birth and rebirth, that it is a time of renewal and celebration,” Watson said.

Watson said she and her fiancé exchange gifts and decorate the house for their celebrations separate from the rituals they observe with the coven.

“We have an ersatz bonfire and give honor and thanks to the gods that we work with,” she said. “There are so many types of Paganism and celebrations of Yule, there isn’t a standard way of celebrating (Yule like) the standard way of celebrating Christmas, like with Christmas Mass.”

According to “How to Become a Witch” by Amber K and Azrael Arynn K, a book that presents key Pagan beliefs, the holiday marks the end of the six-week period beginning at Samhain, Oct. 31, that moves into the darkest time of the year and ends on the Winter Solstice — what some Pagans call “the dark time.”

The most commonly believed story about the origins of Yule is that of the Oak King and the Holly King. Each king rules half of the year, from one solstice to the next.

One takes the crown from the other in an eternal battle that always takes place on Yule and Litha, the Summer Solstice, according to

“How to Become a Witch.”

Harmony Montoya, a member of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans, said that while her family is aware of many of the stories behind the holiday, it is more about celebrating the Goddess, the Supreme Being in Pagan belief, giving birth to the Sun God. “Yule has always been viewed as a promise, because back in the day the winter was so cold and harsh.

Yule is a promise of warmer days to come,” Montoya said. “It’s about giving and sharing what you have between friends and neighbors and loved ones.”

Montoya said in addition to

giving gifts, her family celebrates Yule by putting up a tree, decorating logs and burning those logs in a fire to carry their wishes for the season to come.

For Watson, she said she appreciates the camaraderie and fellowship associated with celebrating this holiday.

“Winter is a difficult and dark time of the year,” Watson said. “The chance to gather with friends and family is always welcome.”

New Mexico struggles despite federal funds

By Jeri Clausing LOS ALAMOS, N.M. (AP) — Tucked in the mountains of one of the poorest states is one of the nation’s wealthiest counties: Los Alamos, which, except for its landscapes, looks decidedly unlike the rest of New Mexico.

On a recent day in the county, which is dependent on the federal dollars that run Los Alamos National Laboratory, nannies, young mothers and children enjoyed the shade at Ashley Pond Park near a new county building and a renovated community center. A mega-grocery store bore “help wanted” signs. And Melanie Bennett of Bennett’s Fine Jewelry and Gifts lamented that it’s

hard to find good help because “the lab sucks everybody.”

Just to the north is Rio Arriba County, home to drug- and crimeplagued Espanola, whose main drag is a mix of fast-food restaurants, boarded-up businesses, a casinohotel and a Wal-Mart.

“There’s more workers than there are jobs,” said Dennis Salazar, who owns a liquor store. Average per-capita income in Rio Arriba: $20,000, well below half Los Alamos County’s average of $50,740.

The contrast highlights an unusual wealth gap in New Mexico.

Unlike other states, the richest residents of New Mexico work mainly in the public sector, while almost everyone else is employed in the private sector.

That dynamic is both a blessing and a curse. Federal dollars, along with the energy industry in southeastern New Mexico, have fueled the state’s economy for decades. Besides Los Alamos, the state is home to Sandia National Laboratories, three Air Force bases, the Army’s White Sands Missile Range and several national forests and parks. In all, according to a study by the Pew Charitable Trust’s Fiscal Federalism Initiative, about 35 percent of New Mexico’s economy comes from the federal government — the highest such figure for any state.

Unless New Mexico can attract new industries, workers will have to settle for whatever lowerpaying government jobs are

available or for low-wage work in the service industry, according to political leaders and experts on the state’s economy.

New Mexico ranked last among states for job growth from January 2011 through 2013. It is second, behind Mississippi, in the percentage of its residents living in poverty — a percentage that increased from 20.8 percent in 2012 to 21.9 percent in 2013, Census figures show. It also consistently ranks at or near the bottom of national rankings for education and child welfare.

“What this state really needs to advance economically is workforce training and education that is at least as good as what the surrounding states have,” New Mexico State

University economist Jeff Peach said.

Mike Lippiatt, a Los Alamos native, said that while Los Alamos and places like Rio Arriba County are worlds apart, residents really don’t think much about the disparities. Nor do they tend to consider that — thanks to federal largess — they live in one of the country’s most affluent communities.

While many residents “live very humbly,” Lippiatt said, “I think the people who have all this money are retired from the lab, they invested well, they did things right. ... They have literally millions of dollars in the bank.”
