Ever since the Pittsburgh Steelers won last year's Super Bowl, I have been patiently waiting for the next NFL season to start. There is only so much World Cup, tennis and golf coverage a sports fan can take.
Editor, At some point, one has to hold President Bush - the perennial thief, pathological killer and addicted liar - unredeemable. That point has long been reached. In fact, it was already reached before the first term of his illegitimate presidency, when he was known to have put 152 defenseless people in the Texas prison system to death, many of them known to be innocent.
by Jen Shark Daily Lobo With school in full swing, I find myself with barely any free time - especially to eat. Sometimes, the easiest choice is to grab a nice, big, juicy burger from Sonic or perhaps across the street at McDonald's. Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser, might change someone's ...
Name: Ravi Jain Age: 56 What do you do at UNM? "I am a professor of physics. I teach optics and lasers. I teach a class on advanced optical communications." Do you do research? "Yes, I do, on the same fields - lasers and fiber optics, fiber lasers and optoelectronic devices used for telecommunications ...
UNM and New Mexico State University regents unanimously approved a program Saturday that will allow students to work toward a pharmacy degree at NMSU. John Pieper, associate vice president of UNM's pharmacy college, said the collaboration will boost the numbers of pharmacists in southern New Mexico. "We have in rural New Mexico, particularly in southern New Mexico, a definite shortage of pharmacists," he said. Albuquerque has about 120 pharmacists per 100,000 people, he said. Southern New Mexico has about 40, he said. "One of the ways of attempting to combat this is to work with other universities that have a home base in a different part of the state," he said. "NMSU seemed like an obvious choice."
by Shandea Williams Daily Lobo When trying to decide on a restaurant for my first review, I felt it had to be one that is newer, smaller and close to campus. There are only a few places within walking distance of campus that offer tasty vegetarian and vegan meals for decent prices. Even meat lovers ...

by Marcella Ortega Daily Lobo Summerhouse Tea and Trading Company owner Charlotte Webster is fascinated with the study of tea. "It was very captivating to me," she said. Webster opened her tea house three years ago. She carries 90 different teas from 10 different countries such as France, Australia, ...
Call me crazy, but I just don't believe the official story of Sept. 11, 2001. I believe Flight 93 was shot down, resulting in the wreckage coming down in three locations up to eight miles apart. And why did the U.S. Air Force stand down in New York? Was it al-Qaida? Was it the confusion stemming from multiple war games and military exercises?
Greg Ortiz, former governor of Acoma Pueblo, said he is not happy with the American-Indian health care system in Albuquerque. "My family's been here (in Albuquerque) for decades, and they have to drive to Acoma sick," he said. Ortiz spoke Monday at a meeting of the Native Health Council of New Mexico that addressed the Albuquerque Indian Health Services' Contract Health Services Program. Some audience members said they were frustrated with the system. Vietnam veteran Albert Cata was one of them. "It's a crazy game we've got to play," he said. The meeting was the second in a series of gatherings put together by the council. The council was formed to address the health care needs of Albuquerque's American-Indian population, which is estimated at more than 45,000, said Roxane Spruce Bly, who helped organize the event. American Indians living in the city must navigate the contract health process in order to access many needed medical services, she said.
On Sept. 11, 2001, within 148 minutes, 2,973 people died. Today, 1,825 days later, about 2,660 Americans in Iraq, 330 Americans in Afghanistan and about 41,650 Iraqis have died. I know to each family and friend these are more than just numbers. To television networks, they're ratings. To everyone else, it just makes us cross our fingers or pray a little more for one reason or anoth
The UNM men's soccer team defense has proven to be one thing this season - stingy. The Lobos bounced back from a tough 2-0 loss to No. 10 UCLA on Friday night by shutting out Cal State-Northridge, 1-0, on Sunday.
In his first full season as a starter, he set the UNM record for shutouts in a single season for the men's soccer team. However, goalkeeper Mike Graczyk is much more likely to give recognition to everyone else around him.
Editor, In his column in Friday's Daily Lobo, Mario Hernandez argued that all good Christians should support raising taxes to spend far more money on foreign aid, child health care and preschool. As a committed Christian who happens to support these three items as budget priorities, I am still disturbed by Hernandez's stance and tone.
Junior Travis Brown is the Lobos' top returning receiver and is taking on the leader role with his three years of experience. As a junior, he's taking on the role for most seniors because of how young the receiving corps is.
Editor, I share James Post's disdain expressed in Thursday's issue of the Daily Lobo for the negative ads that we see during elections, but I have to point out that Madrid is doing the same thing as Wilson. In one of her ads she states, "We have been in Iraq for 3 1/2 years and still no strategy.
