By Birgit Illoran moranb@mscd.edu About one in three people may be *alking wounded.

As trey age, these walking wounded may develop depression, anorexia, bulinti4 self-mutilation, drug addiction or alcoholism.

They may also develop a propensity for vio lence and repeat tre damage with their partnen and with, or to, tbeir ovvn children.

Research suggests that neurobiological brain changes occur in drildren who witness or are party to rePeutive emotional or physical abuse. And those changes can be the root causeof rnany disorders like depres sioq addictive behaviors and the continuation of abuse in adult life, accordlng to AI lan N. Schore, a psychology professor at the University of Califomia at Los Angeles. The tlaryaxd School of Medicine has conducted similar research.

Schore identiffed the disorder as Early Relational Trauma- His research confimrs changes in the brains of infanb and young children erposedJo repetitive neglect and/or verbal, physical or sexual abuse.

Her ex-husband was a respected and succesSrl businessman, a member of their church, and a community leader. No one would believe he was capable of such abuse.

"It was the best decision I ever made."

Now, she's a single mother.

"This is so much better than how we lived before," she said.

By Boyd Fletcher .fletchar@mscd.edu The cost of commuting to campus for studenb may be increasing in more wa)4 than one. l1{sgtingqaxebeing held this month to allow for public opinion on the proposed parking fees at Regional Transportation District park-n+ides for out-ofdistrict cornmuters, The proposed plan is to allow for two free parking days for all commuters, with indistrict commuten having to register their vehicles with RTD to maintain parking for free. Commuters from out-ofdistrict axeas will be required to pay $4 per day, or $40 per month, to park RTD's distict covers Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Bmomffeld, Denver, Douglas and Jefierson cormties.

RfD spokesman, Scot Reed, said that the parking fee is being considered because of budget shordalls in the past year and that those who live out of the district and are us ing RTD are getting the same beneffB as those who live in the distsict without paying taxes toward dre public transportaiion sys. tem.

Residenb and non-residents who leave their cars in the park-n-ride lob longer than 48 hours will be charged $6 per day.

RTD has also proposed that l0 to 20 percent of the parking spots be reserved fiom 5 a-m. to l0 a"rn. every day.

The public is encouraged to come to the meetings this month to give their suggestions.

RTD and T-REX estimate the I-25 light rail orpansion to be completed and opened

by December 2006 or possibly a few weeks earlier. The conskuction is almost complete, but tre 34 new bnins must log 1,500 hours of safety testing each before they can carry passengers.

'The bains are a critical and kev conr ponent to our possibly opening a bit'early," Reed said.

Along with the possibility of paying for parking at park-n*ide stations, this spring shrdenb at Auraria will again vote on whether or not to take part in dre RTD bus pass program as well as a possible increasein the ra.te.

Currendy shrdents at UCD, CCD and Mebo pay a roughly $24 per semester fee for complete bus and light rail service.

"Opportmities for Auraria strdents to ride RTD are arnong tre best ln the distict ' Reed said. -IhaI, coupled with the new corridor due to open" there will be an exponential growth in shrdent riders."

Jordan said he hopes to have all 60 posi tions fflled by the end of Fall 2006, Metro sDokeswoman Cathy Lucas said. ' Lucas said that'as pan ofJordan's plan.

Metro will begin purchasing $3 million in equipment and technology for arademic programs. The college will also purchase $500,000 in equipment for administrative deparfrnents and spend another $500,000 to renovate and remodel academic de Dartnents. The ffrst floor of Central Clasr ioorn will also be remodeled at a cost of $500.000.

Althoueh Referendum D failed at the polls, it wo"n't a.ffectMetro. The referendum wor:ld have allowed the state to borrow $2.1 billion to fund school and road construction and to help fund police and firefighters'pensions.

Despite the funds that will come from Referendum C, Meho faces a problem of overcrowding, which could franslate to sig

"We are overcrowded, but I think Steve Jordan is on target when he hlks about moving things off campus," Benson said.

Part ofJordan's plan to deal with overcrowding is to expand Meho to various community college campuses throughout the state.

Jordan has been rneeting wi*r Nancy McCallin, president of Colorado's community college system,to work out a plan.

The plan will easeovercrowding at Metro by allowing students at state community colleges to get a four-year degree from Metro without leaving the original campus.

"It's a way to reach out to a student at Noflheastem Community College in SterIing, who could complete a four-year degree without leaving their community to finish the ffnal two years at Metro," Lucas said.

Once the plarr is complete it will need to be approved by the CCFIE to get College Opportunity Fund authorkation, Lucas said.

Mother's obsence brings losthope

lflhis week marks one month that I am a morherless child.

I I Regardlessof physical age, to our pa.r ents we axe etemal children. I know this as I Iook at my daughters. My children exude this youthirl fascination, much younger than their yea$, even though they are nowhere near the physiea! re+.!mscf .adulthood.

And I? I am a child with no mother. I have foud this fascinafion recently with the implications of motherhood, or lack thereof-{re presence tha! technically speaking, wr all should know, but many of us don't. This presencethat seemsto leave a gaping wonder of a hole that cannot be filled bv any other oresence.

Even though .t oth"., .rrd dunghters argue and fighg it is tbis inimitable bond between the two that began way before our consciousness had any inlling that we would be and formed suchan impact on someoneelse'smental being.

It is as if there is a physical and mental change that is fully and wholly irreversible the minute the thought of that physical child comes to be.

This change is so powerfrrl that it is irnpressed on a being that is readily incapable of the duty it brings with it to be the child of a mother.

There is something so arnazing about a mother. Ye! as I type these words, with the rgaliz4ti6l that I myself am a mother, I do not speak of myseH. I speak of my motler, our rnc..hers.I can only hope tha*nsomcdal I ',,"{l be thought of in such a boundless form.

There is a reason that "mothef is such a powerfrll and all+ncompassing word. Motherearth, mother ship, the mother of all viruses, etc.

But I? I am a motherless child, and even the memory of that power cannot fill the vast emptinessifeel for mv future. Not that I don't feei hope, I only feel that something intimately importart, Iike an appendage, has been lost to me rorever.

It is only your mother who listens to every ridiculous thing you have to say, and understands completely why you have said it, ard lays down no judgmenL

Our campus is somewhat diverse; all of the obvious cornrnenta.ry applies, different races, genoers, erc.

It is perhaps unfortunate that philosophen happilv engage in self torment 0o ask such 'simple' quesdonsand expect the most cornplex arswer to be the right one.

But hey',how often are a-llthings considered equally?

Is it so rlifFcult to be sornething apart from the rest of the crowd?

And if so, is that something you really want to incur? The consequences can be stifling.

There are necessarychangesto be made ln

the 'group' to remain valid- It seems you may change everything to make them more comfortable.

It's all about this comfort. ICs about being nice to someone, so his or her feelings aren't hurl Maybe because this person is your boss, your boyfriend or the hmch lady in the cafeteria.

Are you that nice to the homeless guy?

No? Is it becausehe is no one to vou?

We all want to belong to somithing on a fundamentallevel. as such being an inextricable part of what it means to be human.

We could talk about all of this as simply paxt of a desire to stereotlpe or some other way to explain aw-ay the question, using social science theorems, models and studies.

This is not the case; they can only deffne its behavion or where it originated. It is not the covenant of a scientist to discover what it means 0obe an individual. They can observe a relationship between cause and effect within the socio<ultural construct that we call American life, but would that be suf ffcient? I think nol We are looking not for a definirive,but lor a descriptivei-reansto understand the nature of this ouestion and rvhat it mearu ro ask it of ourselves.

Bushand Co.maybenefitfromflu Lies, lies and more lies. The Bush adminisFation has told so m:uly I can hardly keep track. This time, the lie is the irnpending doom of the world population that can be found in the form of the Avian Flu. Whenever Bush proposes a plan or asks congress for monen I always drinlq rvho will get rich off of this scam? Bush asked congress for over $7 billion to prepare for the potential pandemic and more than $2 billion will go toward vaccines.The obvious answer to the "who is geting rich" question is clear: Donald Rumsfeld.

Defense Secretary Donald Rmrsfeld is the former chairman of Gilead.

According Gilead's Website, in Sep tember 1996, Gilead and F. Hoftnann-la Roche entered into a collaborafive agree. ment to develop and market remedies that teat and prevent viral influenza- Under the agreemen! Roche received exclusive worldwide commercial righs to Gilead's influerza lnhlbitors, including Tamiflu" a worthless dmg that does not keat the Avian FIu and only reduces the number of days one is sick.

As part of the 4greemen! Roche and Gilead joindy conducted the clinical development of ostelamivir phosphate, the active ingredient in Tamiflu, Gilead receives paymenb from Roche for the successfrrlcomoletion of program milestones and royalties on product sales.

Rumsfeld is a major shareholder of Gilead and is not the only Bush crony who will grossly profft from the Iatest "Chicken Litde scam." Former Reagan-BushSecretary of State George P. Schulz is on the Gilead board of directors.

Bush has asked congress for close to a tsillion dolla:s during his term as president to push his radical agendas. He has also used sophisticared propaganda carnpaigns to instill fear as a psychological tool to rdly support and social acceptance of legislative policies. He has proposed the use of the National Guard and military to quarantine communities and entire states f the Avian Flu mutales into a form that will a.ffecth* mans. Could this be the beginning of martial law? Are Americans being manipulated and targeted for globalistic agendas?

My Met Radio show co-hos! Geofl calls me a radical conspiracy theorisl I consider myself an informed citizen. I have my theo ries and I think that since the whiterollar bioterrorists did not kill enough of us with their laboratory-created viruses such as AIDS, SARS, and West Nile, a new supergerm will do the trick. After all, this imaginary virus will serve two agendas: making some rich white guJs even more rich, and reducing the population.

Dr. Leonard HorowiE is an interna-

J,{]\{IE DTCKBRSON jdicker1@msalalu tionally known authority on public health, behavioral science, emerging diseasesand bioterrorism. He wrote in his dresis tided "The Avian Flu Fright is Potitically Timed," that in order to create a hwnan vaccine spe cific to the H5Nl mutant virus, you must ffrst stad with the human vimq which does not yet exist, except perhaps in a militarybiomedical pharmaceutical laboratory.

According to news reports, to produce the human pathogen the Avian Flu virus must be cultured for a lengthy period of time in human cell cultures. Then the manmade virus is iniected into monkevs and probably unsuqpectinghumans to sel if the experimenhl subjecb get sick.

HorowiE also stated in his thesisthat 'viral mutations over time is a function of the agends newness. New man-made viruses, laboratory creations like the ones currently being prepared for vaccine kials are lessstable, not having evolved over the millennia.

Thus, the entire vaccine efiort is largeln if not entirelv. a sham with ulterior motives."

So my theory is, either the flu vims is currendy being manufachred in labs paid for by wealthy tud661ahs5 who stand to profft heavily by "accidentally" releasing the virus or it has already been prepared and pharmaceutical company shareholders can take advantage of the panic that the news media and the president has worked so hard to insfill, and profit from the sales of a vaccine that inmunizes for a virus that does not exisl Or even worse, as people line up 0obe vaccinated, what they really get shot up with are lethal doses of br:llshic This idea is not that radical. There is reasonable evidence to support the contention that the World Health Organization, a UN sponsored organization, helped spread the AIDS virus in Africa by way of contaminated hepatitis B and polio vaccinations.

I'm not falling for the administration's latest Chicken Litde scenario. I will not run out and get a shot of a wortlrless vaccine. I will not contribute firther to the riches of fraudulent drug makers and White House officials.And I will not allow the govemment to irstill fear and panic over some imaginary virus that could potentially kill me.

I want you to look around you right now.

Find everything within ann's reach that has an electical circtrit and hold it in vour hands. or if it's a computer look al the 6ox in front of you. Take a good look at these objecb of youn. Wait a second...now they're obsolete.

It doesn't matter if you just took it out of the box, what you possesshasjust been outdaled, outnoded, upgraded, and reinvented to make what you have fodder for eBay. This column has a poin! I swear.

I have come to the conclusion that my iPod has become too old and too small for what I need. It's a dinosaur in the world of technology and it is lessthan a year old. I re ceived the 40 GB iPod for my birthday last year and it was just before the new colorized iPods hit the market. My parenb, who bought me the device, also bought me the Best Buy service plan, which I can use !o exchange my iPod for the bigger and better one. Now that the nerv 60 GB iPods with video capability have been introduced, I have the urge to utilize the service plan to get the newest and the best of this technology.

But I hesitate.

Why, you ask? Because I know that as soon as I get home with my shiny new device I will receive word that Apple will be coming out with a bigger and better iPod and, again, I wifl be without the best arormd.

However, it doesn't end with the iPod. Computers have. been made frm of by the likes of Dave Barry, Andy Rooney, and comedians the world over as being one of the worst inveshnenb because nothing will ever become good enougb- To illuskaie, one of my best fiiends built his computer himself with "top of the line" products just so he could Ey !o have the biggest and the best for longer. His thinking was, he would make this machine so good that it would not become outdated for a long time. A year and a half has passed and just about every piece of hardware, software, firmware. shareware. and underwear he has on his computer is now available in the

Apple will becomingourwith a biggerand beneriPod and, again,I will beq,ithoutthe bestaround. economy-priced Dells. His efforts proved to be fruidess. He wanted to upgrade again recently, but that would mean buying a new motherboard. For those of you who dont know, buying a new motherboard to upgrade a computer is like tying to upgrade .your house by pouring a new foundation.

Nothing can be saved. Nothing is sacred.

So, what is the solution to this technology race?It's simple: contentnenL We must try to become content with what we have and not ty to ffnd the Next Big Thing in our lives. Until recendy, I was wing an older laptop that I received as a high school graduation gift. That was six years ago. The technology wasn't the best or compatible with everything, but it was fimctional. I knew what I wanted to do with it and I did no rnore. It wa.snt until recently, when it terminalV crashe4 that I invested in a new laptop and I swted again I seethe ads for the new computers and the new iPods and the new whatever and I just slop and think: do I re ally need that?

First datesleaeeone with more questionsthan a,lswers Mthing will saveyou fiom being ridicuIously nervous on a ffrst date.

What is this war we all have between our hearts and our heads? My heart beats like crazy in antcipation of the ffrst date.

My head tells me to quickly call and cancel. Reschedule with the trusty TiVo. I ask myself once again why I am pur ting myself in the hostage sihtation of a first date. It's worse then being sh.rckin taffic.

The constant pressure of eye contact, wondering if I am talking too fasl or not talking enough? And why do I alwa1reflail my a.rms around as I try to explain something?

I drink back to all the unintentional and ridiculously embarrassingthings I have done and swear to do none of them tonighc Maybe I should get the vodka out of the cupboard and do a few shots before he ges here. It is a fact that almost all people have a preffrst date ritual. Vodka with a Listerine chaser is mine.

First dates. Why do we even go on them if we spend the whole time tying to stop our hands from shaking under the table? And what is more importanl to be interested or to be interestins?

This equation seemsalmost impossible to work out. If you are spending your time trying to be interesting how do you have time to pay attention to what he is saying and be interested?

I think back to when I met bachelor No. 2 of the month, the one who should be showing up at my fiont door at any minute.

It was at a bar near my aparhnenl [Yes, I know, you can't meet genuine guys at the bar.) I can't even remember if I thought he was interesting, or if I liked hirn because he was interested in me. What had we even talked about?

When my phone rang the next aftemoon I panicked. I didn't answer. I listened to his voicemail ffve times tmtil ffnally deciding to

call back. I realized that trying to psychoanalyze his voice was getting me nowhere EISI.

And now I am in this situation. The hole I am trying to dig myself out of before I even stop to think about how much preparation it has taken to get into it in the ff.st place. Why am I freaking out? I need to calm down.

There is a knock on my door. I open it and hear the words "You look nice." What does that mean...oh,God, why am I here?l OK. quit anallzing and breathe.

By the end of the nigh! I realize that the rumor is bue: guys get nervous, too.

We were in the same boal and we managed to paddle to the shore together. We even agreed that we should take this boat out for a spin again soon.

Infatuation and chemistry are a far way from love. But they are a good beginning.

When my phone rang the next day, I achrally answered iL

Tlu Washingtm Post reported an incident in *{rich a yolng man being detained at such a facitty was chained naked overnight to a concrete floor. He froze to death.

Perhaps the most fascinating part of the story which I tried to point out to the suburbanite, is that the prisons, the processing of detaineesand the tactics used !o get confessions from them is all illegal in the United States drough Federal and military law as well as binding human righb agreemenb intemationally. Therefore, Bush and his boys just picked out some friends in at least eight other counfies like Afghanistan, Thailand and Eastem European nations to host their prisons.

AlJazeera reported that one of the pris ons in east Europe was based in a former Soviet prison. Why build your own gulag when you canjust remodel?

The C.I.A. now has the ability to walu into a country, grab anyone who might be a "terrorist" (i.e. if ftey have dark skin, practice Islarn, speak a different language or criticize the West) ship them to the former U.S.S.R and do to them whatever they please.

Inmates have no basic righs. They have no prombe of being cormected in any way to the outside world. While in custody, they may be stawed, beaten, raped, electrocuted, or attacked by dogq according to Amnesty Intemational reports.

Through it a[ no one would hear an inmate's scream.

In fact if thev never rehrned- no one would know wheie to begin looking.

The expectation is unoriginal mediocrity. If it is to be at a certain income level, than join the Republican Party and be self righteously hypocritical in saying " I have been blessed with this wealth for my piety to God and the church and not because of my own self-interes!" or if you are appalled by their greed, preach the horror of the collective through fhe noncxistent spirit of the

prison opened saying that turmates were placed in usanitary conditions, were being beaten and denied every basic legal right for prisoners of war? We said they were terror suspects,and we weren't obligated to make them comfortable.

By Adam Goldstein o goldstea@mscd.edu Time is the ultimate sanitizer. Age can tame the risqu6, rendering the most scandalouspiece of art a piece of family entertainment In 1875, when Georges BizeCsopera "Carmen" ffrst premiered at the Operd Comique in Paris, the sexual undertones and steamy themes inspned an indignant uproax arnong critics and music lovers. The venue was known for family entertahment, and for many, the tale of the Spanish temptress and her hapless lover crossed the line between tastefirl drama and lewd exhibition. The very sefiing of Seville suggestedits own bawdy connptations. The city was well known in the l9e cenhrry for ib cigarâ&#x201A;Źtte factories, where the female workers toiled topless.

The current production of "Carmen" at the newly opened Ellie Caulkins Opera House shows how much a cenhrry can change popular mores. Now a beloved staple of the operatic genre, 'Carmen' has changed frorn a tabooed tale to a piece of haute culture.

Despite this transformation, directorJames Robinson has assembled a surprisingly effective recreation of the sultry mood of Bizet's original vision. The production includes performances by Denyce Graves and Bedr Clalton as Carrnen. Graves, an internationally accomplished op era star, opened the production on Nov. 3 and will perform on closing night, Nov. 13.

In recreating the steamy ambience of Seville and its savagecountyside, set designer Allen Moyer relies on setsthat steadily digressin their ': complexity. In the ffrst acl when DonJos6, the doorned Spanish dragoon, ffrst falls for Carmen, the gypsy temptress,the structuresof Seville are lavishly portrayed in brighdy painted wooden backdrops. As their love sours and DonJos6's passion bransformsinlo consuming jealousy, the stagebecomes star\ with a dim lighting scheme by designer Mimi Jordan Sherin that eerily highlighb the few scattered set pieces.

By dre time DonJos6's rage and jealousy reaches is fevered pitch and Carrren meets her tragic md, the stage is empty of excess,with only ghoulish and gaping recessesin the background that seemto qpeak of tragedy and loss.

This masterfirl use of set design servesas a rich backdrop for the skill of the performers and their moving musical t-anslation of Bizet's score.

Graves faithfirlly ftlls the musical role of the archetypal temphess.

One of the most impressive elemenb of the score is Bizet's use of different types of music for characterization. Graves' performance of the Habemq perhaps the most celebrated piece from nCarmen" and from opera as an art form, not only establishestre character, but ihe performer. The slippery and unpredictable melody lines are chromatically uncomfortable for Western ea$, and suggestseduction in their

very struchlfe.

Graves slides tbrough these parts with a degree of expertise and improvisation that reveal an intimate knowledge of the character.

Similarly, soprano P-amela Armshong's perforrnance as Mic?iela- the innocent councy grl who seeksto redeem the ill-fated DonJos6, bespeaksa hue understanding of her character.

In her duet with Don Jos6 and in her solo, as she hies to ffnd inner shength and courage alone in the mountains, Armstong's emphasisporbays a character diamebically opposed to her grpsy counterpart Where Carmen's melodies are at odds with the Westem musical conventions. Mciie la's songsfit snugly into diatonic conventiora, lending the words a degree of familiadty and sympathy. The sheer beauty and grace of her solos do the score's integlty complete justice.

As Don Jos6, Ausbalian tenor .

Gavin portrays an almost disturbing of rage and jealousy. The mental descent of his character drives the drana in many - ways: musicalln dramatically and thonaticdly.

Carrnen may lend the opera ib tide, but DonJos6 gives it its conflict and ib clashes.Gavin does a ffne job in g"ing hb character's rnoral struggle credence and behevability.

Overall, Robinson has paid Bizet a ffne tsibute with his carefrrl and nuanced production. Over 100 years after ib scandalousdebu!

"Carmen" strll packs a punch.

The most effecting elemenb a.re not in ib sexual risls. They are not in Carmen's bared legs or seductive lines. The sheer beauty of the opera Eanscendssuch pety considerations.It speaksto a much deeper, primal side of our experience as human beings: namely, our helplessnessin the hce of our passions.

It's somewhat ironic that the Denver band, The Vanity, doesn't fit the description aJ all.

"We are huge fans of pop music and the '80s sound," said bassistKamtin Mohager.

"So, we like to take a lot of our influences and mesh them together," singer Brandon Paluska finished. He said the band wanted to take the dark sound of Inteqpol but add a pop and dance flair. Its an uncommon sound, but it works well.

inlo Metro surges postseoson RMAC

By Jennifer Hankrns jhankin4@mscd.edu The odds are usually apinst a team away from home, but not for Metro women's volleyball. The women kept their scoring high and their opponenb' points low dudng last week's game against Colorado Christian and took advantageof a home game against Chadron State.

In dre Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference match against Colorado Christian on Nov. 2, MeFo held shong with scores of 3G19. 3G18, and 3G24. Stefanie Allison and Sheena Bohannon individually tallied doubledigit kills.

Allison had 14 kills, while Bohannon had 12 and a .4{D hitring percentage. Another key player Wednesday evening was SheenaMd-aughlirL who came ahead with a match-high 19 digs wbile Renee Hazlewood had three blocl<sat the Cougar Event Center in Lakewood.

The 'Runners hit .366 in the opening game with 20 kills and just ffve errors. Mebo had 13 total blocks.

Back home, at the Auraria Event Center on Nov. 4, Mebo held the scoreseven lower than two nighb prior against Colorado Christian. Facing Chadron State, the 'Runnen made the game look easy. Metro held the Eagles to scores of 3G17, 3G15 and 3G 19 on Friday evening in an RMAC women's volleyball rnatch, their final regular+eason home game.

Allison had a matchJrigh of 2l kills and posted a .500 attack percentage. Bohannon and Julie Green added eight kills for the 'Runners while Mclaughlin, once again, pulled through with 14 .llg".

"It is one thing to have 2l kills, and another thing to do it while hifiing .500," said head coach Debbie Hendricks. "We didn't make a lot of errors and we kept things dean."

In game one, Metro hit .318. The 'Runners jumped ahead early with a 7-l lead before their opponents took a timeout. Be. fore the Eagles could take another timeoul Meho sbetched it to a 199 lead and ffnished strong,winning the game 3G17.

In game two, Metro hit .417.I-eading just 76 in the beginning of the second game, the women ffnally picked things up to a better speed to score four straight points to force a timeout on Chadron State. The F,agles cut the lead to l+12 iust before the 'Runners jumped back ahiad to 1912, scoring the next ffve st"aight points. Meho led 2315 then scored seven straight points to close out the game 3GI5. Allison scored l0 of her 2l kills in game two.

"We met as a tearn this week and talked about what we wanted to accomplish for the rest of the vear." said Hendricks. "How we played tonight reflected that talk."
