Ongoing construction has made parts of Lead and Coal Avenues inaccessible since November 2010, forcing some businesses in the affected area to close their doors and leaving others struggling to stay afloat.
Nan Morningstar, owner of Free Radicals located on the corner of Yale Boulevard and Lead Avenue, said her business has dropped significantly since construction began, while a clothing store across the street, Steppn-2-Style, was forced to close permanently.
“We talk to some of the neighbors and you’ll note that half of the businesses are gone,” she said. “It sucks.”
The construction is part of the $26 mil-lion Lead and Coal Improvement Project, which aims to update storm drain infra-structure, landscaping and lighting along Lead and Coal Avenues and reduce both avenues from three lanes to two lanes each.
The work is projected to be finished this spring, but local business own-ers said customers still can’t drive up to many of the businesses located on Lead Avenue, bringing in-store traffic nearly to a halt.
Ramzi Hijazi, owner and manager of Tri-H Convenience Store and gas station across Yale Boulevard, said the construc-tion has been hurting his business since it began. While Tri-H is still accessible by car, surrounding road closures make the convenience store difficult to get to.
He said business has dropped be-tween 50 and 60 percent, and he has been forced to fire employees.
“I’ve recently had to work in the store myself in order to compensate because I can’t bring in any new employees,” he said.
Luis Rodriguez, an employee at Casa De Piñatas, located on Lead Avenue near Yale Boulevard, said he’s never seen such a decline in business since the store opened 16 years ago.
“Business is down 60 to 70 percent from last year,” he said. “It’s been real-ly frustrating dealing with the construc-tion; we’ve already been broken into and robbed because the city took down all the lights in front of the store.”
An anti-donation clause in the New Mexico state constitution prevents the city from compensating businesses af-fected by the construction.
“Neither the state nor any coun-ty, school district or municipality … shall directly or indirectly lend or
Construction project harms local business
Francisco Rodriguez, the owner of Casa De Piñatas, says that business has plummeted since the construction on Lead and Coal avenues began in November 2010.

UNM Athletics, Popejoy Hall and Student Health and Counseling are among nine on-campus organi-zations that lost their guaranteed funding from student fees for the fiscal year 2013.
UNM President David Schmidly on Thursday approved Student Fee Review Board’s recommendation to eliminate the “protected status” of nine groups that currently receive guaran-teed funding from student fees.
SFRB Chair and GPSA President Katie Richardson said the measure will give students more control over how funding is given to organiza-tions across campus.
“I think that students and the administration feel that student or-ganizations need some consistency from year to year to plan their bud-gets, but now students can make recommendations in whatever form about the funding to determine the way in which students can best be served,” said Richardson. “All or-ganizations that apply for fees are treated the same way and the SFRB has completely flexibility as recom-mendations about the amount that each organization receives.”
None of the nine organizations that lost protected funding were available for comment Thursday.
Organizations requesting funding
for FY13 face strong competition for limited funding. Budget requests this year amount to nearly $17 million, but last year only about $11 million was handed out in student fee allocations.
UNM Information Technologies is requesting $3 million in student fees, a nearly 1,200 percent increase from the $231,000 it received last year. Athletics is requesting $3.5 million, about 85 percent more than the $1.9 million it received last year.
Right now, the SFRB baseline student fees, the minimum amount students will be charged in fees for FY13 is set at $460 per student, compared to last year’s $486.78. Richardson said she hopes to keep student fees low this year.
Organizations in need of funding present their case before the SFRB on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The individual members of the board will deliberate following the hearings this weekend and each of their recommendations will be av-eraged during meetings Feb. 6 and 13. The averages will then be given to the President’s Strategic Budget Leadership Team by Feb. 15. The team votes on the final allocations by March 1.
Schmidly also approved a one-year change in the composition of the

UNM groups are preparing for their day at the Roundhouse to rally in favor of students and the broader University community.
Before students, parents and alumni head to Santa Fe for UNM Day at the Legislature on Jan 31, GPSA has been surveying stu-dents and holding workshops to get a better idea of where students stand on issues such as the tuition tax credit and research grants.
Travis McIntyre, GPSA Lobby Committee co-chair, said he hopes UNM Day will show legislators the importance of supporting the University this legislative session.
“We especially like students to speak with legislators from their district so that the legislators put a face to UNM and understand that UNM serves the entire state,” McIntyre said.
ASUNM, the UNM Parent Association and UNM Alumni Association are among the other groups that will represent the University at the event.
McIntyre said GPSA is watching the progress of the State Graduate Employment Tax Credit, a bill that aims to create job opportunities in New Mexico for graduate and professional students.
Sen. Tim Keller (D, Bernalillo) is sponsoring the bill, which would provide a $5,000 tax credit to
employers who hire New Mexico college graduates in science, technology, engineering, health and math-related fields.
The GPSA is also working to pass a senate appropriation of $100,000 to fund graduate and professional research, McIntyre said. He said that if the bill pass-es, GPSA students can apply for a grant of up to $5,000 to support their research projects.
ASUNM will provide students free round-trip Rail Runner tickets, a free lunch at Tomasita’s Restaurant in Santa Fe and a letter from Interim Dean of Students Kim Kloeppel excusing students from class to all undergraduate students who RSVP to attend UNM Day, said Florencio Olguin, ASUNM executive director of Governmental Affairs.
“Overall, the more students that attend UNM Day, the better our chance of being successful in our lobbying efforts,” he said. ”Legislators would rather hear from the students than adminis-trators who represent us.”
ASUNM’s 2012 legislative priorities include continuing the Lottery Scholarship, eliminating the tuition tax credit, creating a new commuter shuttle and improving lighting on campus, Olguin said.
“We have postcards in the ASUNM office that students can fill out talking about how the Lottery
(Scholarship) has helped them in their undergraduate academic career at UNM,” he said. “This will positively impact UNM students by showing our legislators that we, as students, are appreciative of the Lottery and that it helps foster success.”
The Parent Association will also bus groups of interested par-ents to Santa Fe for UNM Day, Parent Association President Ma-ria Probasco said.
“We must all take responsibil-ity and become involved in edu-cation in order for our students to succeed,” she said. “The general public must be prepared to hold their elected representatives ac-countable and ask themselves how many more generations of New Mexico students are they willing to see fail and fall through the cracks when they cast their vote.”
The Parent Association also plans to focus on encouraging legislators to eliminate the tu-ition tax credit, continue the New Mexico Legislative Lottery Schol-arship and distribute funds fair-ly among four-year and two-year institutions of higher education, Probasco said.
“If we are successful in this ef-fort, students, parents and edu-cation will benefit for years to come,” Probasco said.
Support UNM, get free lunch
UNM Day at the New Mexico State Legislative Session The Issues:
The Tuition Tax Credit — The tax credit is a percentage of each student’s tuition that UNM must pay to the legislature. This means UNM doesn’t receive the full amount of tuition each student pays and must raise tuition to compensate. The tuition tax for the 2010-11 school year was 5 percent, which means 5 percent of each student’s tuition went to the legislature where it is not required to be spent on higher education. UNM groups hope to convince state legislators to eliminate the tuition credit during this year’s UNM day at the legislature.
Legislative Lottery Scholarship— Members of the Legislative Finance Committee have questioned the viability of the Legislative Lottery Scholarship funds, which they predict will be in the red by 2014. UNM groups hope to convince state legislators to prioritize maintaining the scholarship fund in upcoming years.
SB 16, State Graduate Employment Tax Credit— This bill proposes a $5,000 tax credit to employers who hire New Mexico college graduates in science, technology, engineering, health and math-related fields.
Translator defends CaptainBy Alison Mutler and Nicole
Winfield The Associated Press
ROME — A young Moldovan woman, who says she was called to the bridge of the stricken Costa Concordia to help evacuate Russian passengers, defended the embattled captain on Thursday, saying he worked tirelessly and “saved over 3,000 lives.”
Domnica Cemortan, who says she was translating Capt. Francesco Schettino’s orders during the frenzied evacuation, has emerged as a potential new witness in the investigation into
the officer’s actions the night the ship ran aground.
Schettino is under house arrest, fac-ing possible charges of manslaughter, abandoning ship and causing a ship-wreck after he made an unauthorized detour from the programmed route that caused the vessel to slam into a reef and capsize off the Tuscan island of Giglio. At least 11 people were killed and 21 are missing.
Meanwhile, a new audiotape of the doomed vessel’s first communications with maritime authorities showed the ship’s officers continued to report only an electrical problem for more than 30
minutes after hitting the reef.Attention has focused on Cemortan
amid reports by crew and passengers that Schettino was seen eating dinner with a Russian-speaking woman at the time of the impact. The 25-year-old Cemortan speaks Russian and had worked as a hostess for the Italian cruise operator, although her contract had expired and she was vacationing with friends when she boarded the luxury liner hours before the Jan. 13 disaster.

As a new semester kicks off, we have plenty to look forward to in addition to a new schedule of classes. This semester will mark an important transition period for the University.
This week begins the legislative session in Santa Fe, where a new funding formula for New Mexico’s universities will be tested — a budget-ary mechanism that rewards higher graduation rates, improvements in student success and ac-ademic achievement in minority populations.
This spring, the University community will begin to benefit from the provost’s academic strategic planning initiative, which will help all of us to identify our strengths, and the paths by which we can continue to enhance the higher education of New Mexico.
As the semester concludes, we will have an opportunity to celebrate and appreciate the new heights and frontiers that UNM has reached in the last five years, thanks to President David Schmidly’s leadership. And beginning June 1st, we will welcome our 21st President, Robert Frank, back home with high hopes and helping hands. Aside from an unsavory cartoon, campus and Albuquerque media outlets have worked hard to introduce Dr. Frank to our community.
We will all spend substantial time this spring learning more about our incoming leader. To start, I’d like to briefly touch on how Dr. Frank became the president-elect of our state’s flagship research institution.
The search for UNM’s 21st president has been hailed as both the most inclusive and transparent search many have seen at the University, and rightly so. Prior to the start of the actual search, the Regents’ Academ-ic/Student Affairs and Research Committee
held public forums and met with constitu-ency groups to compile opinions and input from around the University on what qualifi-cations the next president should possess.
As a result of these meetings, we were able to provide a detailed, exhaustive “job description” to guide the search committee in their work. Regent President Jack Fortner assembled a qualified search committee of 29 members representing students, staff, faculty, deans and community members from all around the state. This group solicited nominations from within and outside our campus, and considered a large pool of incredibly qualified leaders in education from around the country.
In order to effectively outreach to a pool of qualified candidates, the University partnered with a search consultant, Alberto Pimentel. While criticisms of consultants include their high cost to the University, it should be noted that Pimentel negotiated with UNM to recruit and provide access to candidates at a reduced rate.
After an exhaustive round of preliminary interviews, the search committee forwarded their recommendations to the Board of Regents, which proceeded to select five finalists to come to campus for public interviews. It should be remembered that every member of the diverse search committee ranked Robert Frank in their list of top candidates.
On Jan. 4th, 2012, the regents unanimously voted to hire Dr. Frank as our next president. There are many reasons to be excited about Dr. Frank’s arrival in Albuquerque on June 1. Just as you and I carry a vested interest in our next president and the changes he will make to our school, Dr. Frank will be directly responsible for the quality of his own degrees — he has three from UNM.
As a student who lives on campus, I am excited that our next president will be among the 3500 residents living on campus, with a doorstep only feet from Zimmerman Library, the Duck Pond, and our Student Union Building. In addition to these posi-tive image-builders, Dr. Frank has an hon-est record of making the organizations he’s led successful.
At the University of Florida (one of the nation’s premier public universities), he was recognized with awards and an endowed chair in his name for his leadership as the dean of the College of Public Health and Health Professions. Currently, he has brought great success to Kent State University as provost by increasing student retention and academic success by large margins. These are areas UNM needs significant help in, and I look forward to utilizing Dr. Frank’s experience to help our own students succeed.
As with every transition, our potential for success with Robert Frank is limitless. He will be on campus periodically this semester and has committed to engaging the campus in a 100-day listening and learning period before making changes on campus.
Let’s all be team players and help educate him on what makes our university wonderful and how he can take us to the next level. Early criticism and paranoia will not do much to advance our state or UNM; let’s welcome our next leader with a hopeful attitude for a stronger University.
Jacob P. Wellman is the student regent at UNM. He writes a monthly column for the Daily Lobo about the ins and outs of what the regents do at UNM. Any questions you might have for him about the regents or the Univer-sity should be sent to [email protected].

Stay positive as UNM transitions
Hello Lobos,
By this point you have fought to the end of the first week of the spring semester. It seemed long, didn’t it? Then I suppose I have no need to remind you that it was only a four-day week, and that next week will be longer.
But enough with the bad news. I wanted to take a moment for shameless self-pro-motion in the form of calling attention to the Daily Lobo Boot Kamp. It takes place this weekend, and it’s a perfect chance for those interested in journalism to learn from professionals in the field at no cost.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with classes. But you can’t beat learning directly from professionals. I mean, these people are given money for their journalism abilities. So if you’d like to be given money someday for your journal-ism abilities, you should probably come to boot camp.
The boot camp is also an opportunity to meet editors from the news, sports and culture sections of the Daily Lobo, and they are looking to hire reporters.
If you want to write for us, or are even just curious, then this is your chance to talk directly to the people capable of hiring you. That said, get yourself to journalismboot-kamp.wordpress.com for more information and to sign up.
Like I said, no payment necessary — we just need to know how many people are coming. Or if you want to rebel, you can just show up at the honors building on Saturday at 9 a.m. and go from there. We won’t like you as much, but you’ll still be welcome.
Self-promotion out of the way, I’d like to drag your attention elsewhere. If your eyes and ears were functioning Wednesday, you know that many Internet giants, Google and Wikipedia included, made changes to their websites in protest of SOPA/PIPA.
If for some reason you’re out of the loop, these jumbles of letters represent bills in Congress that could limit Internet freedom. Naturally, the Internet doesn’t enjoy being limited, so it limited itself for a day in protest via blackouts of popular sites. Trust me, it makes sense if you think about it long enough, or if you don’t think about it at all.
Regardless, early reports suggest that the protest might have changed some minds, as many senators and representa-tives switched sides on the debate. Accord-ing to ProPublica, on Jan. 18 there were 80 supporters for the bill and 31 opponents. As of Jan. 19 there were only 65 supporters of the bills and 101 opponents.
As many of you know, I have been struggling to bring attention to this issue for a while, and I am glad for the success of the blackout, but the efforts shouldn’t end here.
Our culture seems to be obsessed with the idea of making one grand movement and expecting that it will change everything. Think of all the shitty rom-coms in which the protagonist admits his undying love for the female lead in some grandiose, contrived gesture and wins her over, as seen in “Love, Actually” and movies like it.
This storyline is paralleled in actions films, where there is always a battle for the fate of Earth, again as seen in
EDITORIAL
“Independence Day” or any and all action movies, for the most part.
And that whole epic climax deal is fine, and even necessary, for storytelling; but we are not in a movie.
Life failed English, and doesn’t understand the concept of a climax. If we treat every victory as the only goal, if every grand gesture is the end, then we will lose. Change is gradual, not immediate.
There are still plenty of members of Congress who don’t get the Internet. Hell, maybe they do, but the money from
Hollywood is more powerful. Who knows? I don’t. I do know there’s more work to be done in favor of Internet freedom and it can start right here in New Mexico. Tom Udall, Jeff Bingaman, and Ben R. Luján are all supporters of the bills. If you care about a free Internet, then let them know instead of complaining online or laughing about how SOPA/PIPA sounds like sopaipilla.
Do it now.

ALBUQUERQUE. — Authori-ties say a student at an Albuquer-que charter school has been fa-tally stabbed, allegedly by another teenager.
Albuquerque police say a 17-year-old boy is in custody in connection with Thursday’s incident outside César Chavez Community School.
KRQE-TV reports that tension between the two students was building all day and the two fought outside the school about 3 p.m.
The names of the victim and suspect haven’t been released by police.
Authorities say the suspect is facing a homicide charge.
WASHINGTON— A House com-mittee looking into the flawed gun-smuggling investigation called Operation Fast and Furious has subpoenaed a federal prosecutor in Arizona for questioning.
Republican Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Com-mittee, said Thursday that Patrick Cunningham repeatedly refused to testify voluntarily about his role in the operation that relied on a con-troversial law enforcement tactic designed to identify and prosecute major weapons traffickers.
According to Issa, the commit-tee has information that Cunning-ham played a role in approving the tactic, which resulted in federal agents losing track of weapons that later ended up at crime scenes in
Mexico and the U.S.Cunningham, who is resigning
effective Jan. 27 to take a job in the private sector, has been chief of the criminal division in the U.S. Attor-ney’s Office in Phoenix for the past two years.
Justice Department spokes-woman Tracy Schmaler declined to comment about the subpoena.
SANTA FE — New Mexico State Police are joining efforts to ramp up drunken driving patrols along U.S. 550 in San Juan County.
State Police Major Darren Soland announced Thursday that the department has secured additional funding and reached agreement with the Navajo Nation, San Juan Sheriff’s Department and DPS Special Investigations Division to increase patrols from Bloomfield to Cuba.
The operational plans are being drawn up and should be in place by Jan. 27.
Local law enforcement agencies have already increased their pres-ence on the rural four-lane stretch of road after six drunken driving-related deaths in six weeks.
ALBUQUERQUE — A Bernalillo County grand jury has indicted a woman on charges that she stabbed her 8-year-old son with a screw-driver in his head, neck and chest.
Thirty-one-year-old Liesha Hen-derson was charged in Wednes-day’s indictment with child abuse, kidnapping, aggravated battery and aggravated assault.
Albuquerque police say Hen-derson was under the influence of methamphetamines when she stabbed her son on Dec. 30.
The boy’s injuries weren’t life-threatening.
It is not known whether Henderson has a lawyer.
She is being held in jail on a $100,000 bond.
FARMINGTON — The executive director of the Farmington Convention and Visitors Bureau has resigned amid an investigation into embezzlement allegations.
The Farmington Daily Times reports that Debbie Dusenbery resigned Tuesday and delivered a check for more than $100,000 to police.
Police began investigating Dusenbery on Friday after several employees reported the possible crimes.
Dusenbery’s attorney Victor Titus says his client is going to do what’s right and that a full audit will need to be conducted to determine the full scope of the situation.
Police have seized Dusenbery’s computers and financial documents.
Farmington Police Sgt. Robert Perez, who leads the investigation, declined to release specific information about the investigation.
Investigators also were reluctant to give a specific dollar amount they believe was embezzled. - AP
board, from four undergraduate students and three graduates to five undergraduates and two graduates. The board now requires six out of seven votes for a fee change. Previously, a simple majority was required.
Richardson said the changes to the composition of the board and the supermajority rule are on a trial basis.
“Public comment changes went out last semester and the public returned with 25 comments
about the policy, some of which raised concerns,” she said. “Upon reviewing these comments … we requested the change … on a one-year trial basis.”
Dylan Hoffman, who became the fifth undergraduate on the board on Thursday, said he be-lieves the new changes will prove to be beneficial.
“I think that is what this year is about,” he said. “We are on a tri-al year with this setup and time will tell how the process works. I
think it’s more representative of the undergraduate population, but we will have to work through the hearings and the deliberation to be sure.”
Graduate student fees account for about 22 percent of UNM’s to-tal student fees, and will make up roughly 28.5 percent of the board, down from the current 43 percent. The board’s chair position switch-es between an ASUNM or GPSA representative each year.

Mark Motsko, spokesman for the city’s Department of Munici-pal Development, said the city has made an effort to work with the affected businesses by send-ing notices in advance concern-ing road closures.
“We’ve been doing outreach even before the construction
started to let the business owners know that during construction we would work with them,” he said. “It hasn’t been for a lack of effort that we’ve maintained access to all the businesses in the corridor.”
Motsko said the city initiated the project in response to com-plaints concerning the high vol-ume of traffic on Lead and Coal Avenues from those living in the surrounding neighborhoods. He said that before construction be-
gan, both Lead and Coal Avenues had three lanes, which carried up to 27,000 vehicles per day through highly populated residential areas.
He said the city sought input from a task force of neighborhood representatives before construc-tion began.
“What we’re doing is following up with the neighbors’ requests to make it feel like a neighborhood-friendly atmosphere,” Motsko said.

by Philip ElliottThe Associated Press
MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C.— Rick Santorum on Thursday pleaded with conservatives not to give up on his presidential hopes, urging them to resist calls to rally behind Newt Gingrich.
“If we are going to be successful in this race, we have to nominate someone who is going to make Barack Obama the issue in this race, not be the issue himself in the race,” Santorum said ahead of the final debate before South Carolina’s primary Saturday. “We can’t have a candidate that, every day when you open the newspaper, it’s an ‘Oh, my — oh, what did he say today?’ moment. We need someone who is stable.”
As proof that Santorum still has juice, the former Pennsylvania sen-ator pointed to a new endorsement from James Dobson, who founded the conservative Focus on the Fami-ly organization, and updated results from the Iowa caucuses that show Santorum actually edged Mitt Rom-ney in the first state to weigh in on the GOP nomination battle.
“There have been two contests,” Santorum said. “We won one.”
Santorum bested Romney by 34 votes in the final tally of Iowa’s caucuses, Republican officials said Thursday. But no winner was de-clared because some votes remain uncertified two weeks after the event’s closest contest ever. The state GOP initially declared Romney the victor — by just eight votes.
“This is a solid win. It’s a much stronger win than the win Gov. Romney claimed to have,” Santo-rum declared.
Romney, who won New Hampshire’s primary, called the Iowa results a “virtual tie.” Santorum called it a sign that any calls for him to leave were premature.
“We feel very, very good about what this win will mean,” Santorum said of Iowa’s fresh results. “It says
that we can win elections. We can organize. We can put together an effort to pull the resources together to be able to be successful in being the person who can defeat Mitt Romney. Guess what? We defeated Mitt Romney in Iowa.”
Santorum is knitting together a grass-roots organization of socially conservative Republicans, including pastors, similar the one that helped him finish at the top in Iowa.
“Everywhere I go it feels just like Iowa,” said Chuck Laudner, who was a senior Iowa adviser to Santo-rum and now is leading the effort to woo clergy in South Carolina.
Santorum’s advisers, however, worry that Romney has an advantage among voters who have already cast absentee ballots. With Romney run-ning strong in the polls and fundrais-ing, conservatives who oppose his nomination are trying to build a co-alition around one of their own. San-torum said that choice should be him — and not Gingrich, who picked up
the endorsement of one-time con-tender Rick Perry earlier in the day.
Looking to motivate the Christian conservatives, Santorum urged voters to consider his rivals’ priorities on social issues.
“Congressman Gingrich routinely puts these issues at the back of the bus and sees them as controversial issues that need to be avoided,” he said.
Santorum also urged conservatives to imagine what a head-to-head contest with Obama will hold. He said both Gingrich and Romney had shared Obama’s views on the Wall Street bailout and health care mandates in the past, muting potential criticism of the incumbent president.
“How can you differentiate our-selves on the major issues of the day if we nominate Tweedledum and Tweedledee,” Santorum asked conservatives later in Charleston, “instead of someone who stood up and said, ‘No’?”

London secures the Thamesby Paisley DoddsThe Associated Press
LONDON — The river Thames buzzed with activity Thursday — helicopters hovering ahead, speed

boats ready to catch potential ter-rorists and military units testing their skills as part of a drill for the 2012 London Olympics.
The Thames is Britain’s best-known river, immortalized in the novels of Charles Dickens, and a waterway once so putrid that it shut Parliament because of its stench. It’s now getting the Olympics treatment because of its potential to give would-be terrorists a foothold.
“There’s no specific threat, but we would be failing in our duty if we didn’t consider it,” nation-al Olympics security coordinator Chris Allison said. He said forc-es were testing methods used to make vessels stop and practicing boarding-at-sea procedures.
A navy helicopter swooped overhead as crafts maneuvered on the Thames, known for its strong currents and tides, as London’s Marine Policing Unit and Roy-al Marines worked to make sure the police and military know how to work together on the river that snakes some 210 miles (338 ki-lometers) across England. Jour-nalists watched as a helicopter
hovered over the river and secu-rity forces, with weapons drawn, boarded a ferry.
Policing the vast territory for the games in July and August won’t be easy. The security detail around the Olympics has grown to involve the military and hundreds of secu-rity guards.
The tests this week have in-volved about 44 police officers and 94 military personnel in the run-up to the Games, which start July 27th and end Aug. 12th.
Some recent terror attacks like the Mumbai shooting spree in 2008 were launched from virtually unpatrolled waterways. Terrorists in the Indian metropolis arrived on small high-speed boats prior to their deadly attack that killed 166 people.
British authorities want to make sure the same type of attack doesn’t happen in London. Security officials have expressed concerns over would-be attackers using the river as a means of access into the games, but they are also concerned that attacks could be launched against London’s financial center,
Friday, January 20, 2012 / Page 7newsNew Mexico Daily lobo
Olympics from page 6which sits close to its banks.
Security officials say they also worry about scares away from the Olympic Village that could divert resources away from a real attack.
Security has long been a high priority for the Olympics. A terror attack at the 1972 Olympics in Munich killed 11 Israeli ath-letes and coaches.
And London was the first Western European capital to be struck by suicide bombers in 2005 — the day after the city won its bid to host the games. Some 52 commuters were killed during the rush-hour attack in July 2005.
About 12,000 police officers will also be on duty on the busiest days of the games — together up to 13,500 troops deployed on
land, at sea and in the skies. A huge pres-ence of private security guards will also safeguard Olympic venues.
The Thames is a less-than-enticing van-tage point for the Olympics — even for would-be attackers.
Although it has been cleaned up since the “Great Stink” of 1858 that forced the House of Commons to stay at home, its muddy
reputation precedes itself. Comedian David Walliams battled diarrhea after doing a charity swim along the River Thames last year.
The journey is almost seven times the distance of the English Channel and is associated with the Victorian-era novels of Dickens, such as “Bleak House.”
with a blonde woman. He did not look drunk. They were just eating,” a Filipi-no cocktail waitress, Gladly Baldera-ma, said of Schettino.
Another Filipino crew member, Roger Barsita, said he served Schettino and a woman dinner.
“I have no idea who she is,” he told The Associated Press in Manila. “Some of the waiters said she’s Russian.”
In interviews with Moldovan me-dia, Cemortan said she was dining with “colleagues, so to speak” in the ship’s restaurant when the ship struck the reef. She said she was summoned to the bridge to translate instructions for passengers, particularly Russians, since she speaks several languages. Moldova is a former Soviet republic.
“All our colleagues made an-nouncements in different languages because there was a problem with the electricity. It was very dark on the ship,” she told the Moldovan daily Adevarul. “I stayed on the bridge in case the cap-tain needed me to make an announce-ment. There were about 20 more offi-cers, cruise directors and the captain.”
She defended Schettino and crew members against criticism of a chaot-ic evacuation, saying they saved thou-sands of lives.
“He did a great thing, he saved over 3,000 lives,” she told Moldova’s Jurnal TV.
Prosecutor Francesco Verusio declined to comment on Italian media reports that Cemortan was being sought as a witness, citing the ongoing investigation.
Divers, meanwhile, were focusing on an evacuation route on the ship’s fourth level, now about 60 feet (18 meters) below the surface, where five bodies were found earlier this week, Navy spokesman Alessandro Busonero told Sky TG 24. Crews set off small explosions to blow holes into hard-to-reach areas for easier access by divers.
Seven of the dead were iden-tified Thursday by authorities — four French passengers, one Spanish and one Italian passenger and one Peruvian crew member. Italian passenger Giovanni Masia, who would have turned 86 next week, was buried in Sardinia.
Italian authorities have iden-tified 32 people who have either died or are missing: two Ameri-cans, 12 Germans, seven Italians, six French, two Peruvians and one person each from Hungary, India and Spain.
Meanwhile, a new audiotape of the Concordia’s first contact with maritime authorities appeared to support allegations that the cap-tain and other senior officers were slow to recognize the seriousness of the accident.
In the tape, which begins at 10:12 p.m., the port authority asks if everything is OK. A Concordia officer replies that the ship had experienced a blackout, even though it had hit the reef more than half an hour earlier.
Italian media reported the officer on the call was Schettino, but that could
not be independently confirmed.The port official tells the officer that
a relative of a crew member had re-ported to police on the mainland that “during the dinner everything fell on his head” — a reference to flying plates and glasses in the ship’s restaurant af-ter the impact.
“No, negative, we have a blackout and we are verifying the conditions on board,” the response came. The port official then asked if passengers had suited up in life vests.
“I repeat, we are verifying the conditions of the blackout,” the offi-cer said.
Passengers and crew members have faulted Schettino and other se-nior officers for failing to act quick-ly, delaying evacuation until the ship was listing too severely to lower many of the lifeboats.
“They asked us to make an-nouncements to say that it was elec-trical problems and that our tech-nicians were working on it and not to panic,” a French steward, Thiba-ult Francois, told France-2 television. “I told myself, ‘This doesn’t sound good.’”
He said he eventually started es-corting passengers to lifeboats on or-ders from his boss, not the captain. “No, there were no orders from the management,” he said.
An Indian waiter agreed.“The emergency alarm was sound-
ed very late,” only after the ship “start-ed tilting and water started seeping in,” said Mukesh Kumar, who arrived
home in New Delhi on Thursday.Cemortan, however, defended the
captain and crew.“How dare they accuse us that we
were incompetent when we saved 3,000 lives,” she wrote on her Facebook page. “Incompetent are the ones who have a poisonous tongue.”
Cemortan described heroic efforts by crew members to help passengers in a dark and listing ship.
“We were looking for them, search-ing for them,” she told Jurnal. “We heard them all crying, shouting in all languages.”
“I couldn’t see a thing, I could just hear how the ship was creaking and how heavy things were coming from
above down to where the ship was leaning,” she wrote on Facebook.
She said Schettino stayed on deck at least until 11:50 p.m., when he or-dered her into a lifeboat.
Late Thursday, Miami-based Carnival Corp., which owns Italian operator Costa Crociere SpA, announced it was conducting a comprehensive audit of all 10 of its cruise lines to review safety and emergency response procedures in the wake of the Costa disaster.
In addition, the Miami-based com-pany, the world’s largest cruise line, said it was conducting an outside re-view of the Concordia grounding itself.

For many college athletes, competing professionally is just a dream.
But not for men’s soccer mid-fielders Lance Rozeboom and Mi-chael Green, seniors who were both drafted in the supplemental rounds of the Major League Soccer (MLS) draft last Tuesday.
“It’s a good feeling. It took about four or five minutes before it actually sunk in. I guess I was in shock that it all happened,” Green said.
Neither player was chosen in the first 38 picks of the first and second rounds of the MLS draft, but were held over to the supplemental draft.
Green was selected number four to the Toronto Football Club, and Rozeboom, the 26th pick, is going to DC United.
Unlike the actual draft, the players picked in the supplemental draft are given a chance to practice with the team during preseason and hopefully be signed by the team.
Green said now that he has

been picked, it’s up to him to work hard and make the roster for the upcoming season.
“Now, hopefully, I’ll make the team and put good name out there for New Mexico,” he said.
Green and Rozeboom were the only seniors on the team this year and led the Lobos to their first undefeated season in history, going 18-0-4.
UNM was ranked as high as No. 1 this season but was given the No. 10 seed in the NCAA tournament, where it lost in penalty kicks in the round of 16 to University of South Florida.
Rozeboom started 78 games in his Lobo career, the fifth highest total in UNM history. Green started in 67.
Green said he was happy to see that both players from UNM were eventually picked in the draft.
“It’s a good thing to see a fellow teammate drafted, especially Lance,” Green said. “I’ve known him for a long time. We grew up playing against one another, so it’s cool to see us move up in the ranks of soccer.”
Head coach Jeremy Fishbein said he felt Green and Rozeboom should have been drafted much higher than
where they landed, and felt they both have the skill to make their respective team’s rosters.
“I think that Mike and Lance were overlooked in the earlier rounds of the draft,” Fishbein said. “In my mind, they’re both MLS-caliber players and at this point, it doesn’t matter what number you are or what round you’re drafted in. It’s time to go out and prove yourself. I have complete confidence in their abilities to do so.”
The midfielders are the first UNM players drafted into the MLS since the 2009 season, when Justin Davis and Euan Holden were selected, though neither play in the MLS.
For Fishbein, it is nothing new to see Lobos make it to the top level of soccer in the United States. Since he took over at UNM in 2002, 11 players have gone professional, and seven are still on ac-tive professional team rosters.
He said he was excited to see more players he coached make it to the next level.
“We’re all excited for the guys to have this opportunity, and look for-ward to following them as they con-tinue their careers,” Fishbein said.

Getting the ball to the green and getting an “A” are one and the same for UNM men’s golf player John Catlin, a junior. He said it’s his rigorously busy schedule out-side class that keeps him at peak academic performance.
“I think that it’s helped me though. It keeps me more fo-cused,” Catlin said.
He is ranked fourth in the MWC and 32nd in the nation. He leads a Lobo squad looking to improve on a fifth place finish last season.
“John has had a great start to the season,” head men’s golf coach Glen Millican said. “The tournaments usually have fields of about 70 golfers. The fact that he has already had multiple top
Busy senior makes the grademen’s golf
10 finishes is a great sign.”Catlin, a business major, holds
a 3.7 cumulative GPA. Catlin said it’s difficult at times to balance school and athletics.
“I spend a lot of time on our trips doing schoolwork,” he said.
With an average of 71.3 strokes per round, Catlin is a force to be reckoned with on the green.
Catlin said he has no problem getting the ball to the green, but once it’s there, he needs to work on his short game.
“I’ve always been able to strike the ball well,” he said. “I need to work on my short game. Chipping can always be improved.”
Catlin was recently selected to participate in the Patriot All-America invitational. He was the only Lobo selected to participate in the event.
Millican said even with four seniors on the team, Catlin is a crucial part of the Lobo golf team, not just because of his ac-complishments on the course but for his accomplishments off the course, as well.
“We don’t have captains on the team,” Millican said. “Every year we count on the older guys to set the example. John does a great job in this regard.”
Catlin and the rest of the men’s team will play the remainder of their season on the road. Between now and the end of the golf sea-son, the Lobo men’s golf team will travel to tournaments in states such as Hawaii, California and South Carolina.
“It’s not every day you get a free week in Hawaii,” he said.

No. 1 picks face off at NFC game
Bill Kostroun / Associated PressNew York Giants quarterback Eli Manning throws a pass during an NFL football practice Thursday, in East Rutherford, N.J.
see Manning page 10
by Janie McCauleyThe Associated Press
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The Giants’ Eli Manning has been forced to escape the shadow of superstar big brother, Peyton. But San Francisco’s Alex Smith? He only has a pair of Hall of Famers in Joe Montana and Steve Young hanging over him in 49ers lore.
Two No. 1-pick quarterbacks a draft apart, Manning and Smith meet Sunday in the NFC champion-ship game with a shot at the Super Bowl after each has faced immense scrutiny over the years while play-ing on opposite coasts.
Manning made his mark by win-ning the 2008 Super Bowl. Smith took a significant step toward fi-nally silencing the skeptics — for the time being, anyway — by lead-ing last week’s thrilling, last-second 36-32 victory over Drew Brees and the favored Saints in a spectacular playoff debut.
Early on, there were the questions about whether Manning would ever become an elite NFL quarterback like the other big-time QBs in the family, including his father Archie.

men’s basketball
by Cesar [email protected]
The men’s basketball team will head to Las Vegas this weekend to face its biggest challenge yet.
Coming off a 75-70 loss to No. 16 San Diego State at The Pit, the Lobos go to Las Vegas to face No. 20 UNLV.
“The Thomas & Mack Center is a tough environment and (UNLV) is outstanding,” head coach Steve Alford said. “They are a really good, deep basketball team.”
The Lobos (15-3, 1-1 MWC) are playing a Rebels team which opened conference play at San Diego State and came two points short of the win, but have key wins against then-No 1. North Carolina, No. 19 Illinois and California.
“It’s going to be a big test for our seniors,” Alford said. “This is go-ing to be the best basketball team we’ve played.”
The Runnin’ Rebels (17-3, 1-1 MWC) lost their top scorer from last year in Tre’Von Willis to grad-uation, but return four starters and have added two transfers. Senior guard Oscar Bellfield and juniors Anthony Marshall and Quintrell Thomas have helped the Rebels rank as high as 12th in na-tional polls.
Senior guard Chace Stanback leads the team in scoring, averag-ing 14.7 points per game, and was the go-to guy in the 10-point upset over North Carolina.
Sophomore forward Mike Moser is averaging a double-double this season with 14.0 points per game and 11.4 rebounds this season, after transferring from UCLA. Marquette transfer Reggie
Rebels game will be‘big test’ for seniors
The speculation calmed down for a time once he won a title. But criticism returned last season when Manning threw 25 intercep-tions. That’s when he boldly let it be known he should be in the same conversation as Patriots star Tom Brady and the rest of the NFL’s best lineup.
“I consider myself in that class,” Manning said in August.
Smith, drafted No. 1 from Utah in 2005 — one year after Manning was the top pick out of Ole Miss

— won’t begin to compare his sit-uation out west to what Manning has endured.
“His (situation) is a little differ-ent. To be Peyton’s little brother, No. 1 pick, (when) you go to New York with the Giants, obviously that’s a lot of pressure,” Smith said. “I don’t think anyone has been in the situa-tion he has. Those are pretty unique circumstances. Your older brother is arguably the greatest quarter-back ever and a lot of expectation’s on you and then you go to the big
city like New York. I didn’t have to face those things.”
Smith got booed by his home fans at some point in nearly every game at Candlestick Park in recent seasons, before leading a remark-able turnaround this year under first-year NFL coach Jim Harbaugh. He’s been benched and belittled by more than one of his coaches along the way.
“I was saying this a few years ago and got laughed at, but Alex was a guy that had about 60 percent of his
ability, his potential, brought out in him because of all kinds of circum-stances,” said Trent Dilfer, ESPN analyst and Smith’s former team-mate. “What he was really relying upon to survive in the NFL was his mental and emotional strength, toughness, giftedness, whatever you want to call it. He is so men-tally strong, so resilient, refuses to let the demons affect him negative-ly … I knew once somebody came here and was able to develop him and train him like he started to get
trained with Norv (Turner) in 2006, that you would start to see some of the physical stuff come out. I’m just so happy for him because he found a guy in Jim Harbaugh who coached him the way he needed to be coached.”
Sunday’s game will mark the second time two former No. 1 pick QBs will square off in the confer-ence championship. Vinny Tes-taverde and John Elway met in the 1998 AFC championship game.
Smith just became eligible to play last month.
The Lobos this season are 8-1 away from The Pit, including 4-0 in non-neutral site games. Senior guard Phillip McDonald said his team has confidence to go and get a win in a hostile environment.
“I’m just going to remind my teammates that we’re a good ball club on the road,” McDonald said. “We’re just going to have to step it up at UNLV. We really need that game.”
Despite UNM’s success on the road under Alford, the Lobos have struggled in Las Vegas.
UNM is 5-16 all-time at the Thomas & Mack Center, including 1-3 under Alford.
The Lobos lost a 63-62 thrill-er last season in Las Vegas after sophomore guard Kendall Wil-liams missed one of his two free throws with 1.1 seconds left, which would’ve sent the game into overtime.
This time around, there might be a lot more scoring.
The Rebels like to run the court and have the ninth best offense in the country, averaging 81.6 points per game.
Because the conference sched-ule has been condensed from 16 games to 14, after the departure of Brigham Young and Utah, Alford said his team needs a victory to keep it alive in the Mountain West, but playing two ranked teams back-to-back is not an easy task.
“This was a difficult week,” Alford said. “It didn’t start out well for us. We’ve got to pick things up and we’ve got to try and make some adjustments and play better on Saturday.”
