Editor, Booze, junk food, cocaine, meth, sugar, heroine, sodas, cigarettes are all awful addictions, but no addiction is more harmful than craving much more money, more stuff than we need. I enjoy having enough -- healthy food, one sunny room to live in, a garden for food and flowers. I lived well all of 2016 on $4,946.00 for my total expenses -- rent, food, etc. -- less than half the U.S. poverty level for me as a single person.
Domestic violence, assault against a household member On the morning of March 1, an officer was sent to 933 Bradbury Dr. SE in reference to a potential domestic dispute, according to a police report. Upon arrival, a female told the officer she walked to her car near her workplace to pick up lunch for herself and a few co-workers when she noticed her ex-boyfriend’s car in the parking lot. She said she felt fearful, as he was physically abusive with her in the past.

Nina Elder, an artist who specializes in drawing and painting pieces about land use, will be giving a talk this Thursday on “Processing Place” at the Tamarind Institute. Elder will discuss her travels, artwork and how she relates to place. The event will display some of her artwork, as well. “The work that I'm printing at the Tamarind is looking at the historic moments when individual surveyors would go out into the land with a pickaxe and a shovel,” Elder said. ”They'd be isolated and would strike a vein of gold or copper and there would often be this single stone that would prove that element (was there)."
Editor, The Republicans' 30-year lock on the Supreme Court has made them extremely reactionary and unwilling to legislate. “Ethnic cleansing” has been defined as the attempt to get rid of (through deportation, displacement or even mass killing) members of an unwanted ethnic group in order to establish an ethnically homogenous geographic area.
Changes to the Sandoval Regional Medical Center Cost-saving changes to the Rio Rancho-based UNM Sandoval Regional Medical Center will be implemented over the coming weeks, said UNM officials at Tuesday’s Board of Regents Health Sciences Committee meeting. UNM Hospital CEO Steve McKernan and Mike Richards, executive physician-in-chief for UNM Health Systems, announced the changes to the committee.

March Madness is finally here, and with it comes the much-awaited Mountain West Tournament for the UNM men’s basketball team. After a 64-59 victory over San Diego State on Saturday, the Lobos (17-13, 10-8 MW) were able to finish the regular season in the top five of the conference, which earned them a bye that sent them straight into next Thursday’s quarterfinals to face the Fresno State Bulldogs. The tournament is a big deal because it will most likely decide who gets to go to this year’s NCAA Tournament. “I think (the Lobos) understand that and are hungry for that. We’ll find out,” said UNM head coach Craig Neal. “You can’t win the championship unless you win the first one.”
Students in the School of Engineering are set to play an integral role in an Air Force project that seeks to create next-generation material and technology to improve space satellites. Cosmiac, a research center at the School of Engineering, received a $7 million 5-year contract with the Air Force to research, design and test semiconductor materials for electronics that can survive the harsh conditions of space. “This is a major project — one of the largest research contracts that the School of Engineering has ever received — and it is another great example of the strength of UNM as a top-tier research institution,” said Engineering School Dean Joseph Cecchi.
A buzzer-beater jumper ended the Lobos’ hopes of advancing further in the Mountain West Tournament.

New Mexico baseball saw a slowdown in offensive production, but still had plenty to get by in-state rival New Mexico State Tuesday night. The Lobos (8-3) averaged nearly 20 runs per game in their most recent three-game series sweep against Air Force. And though the team didn’t reach that lofty benchmark, the bats were anything but silent as UNM notched an 8-2 neutral site win in El Paso, Texas. UNM sophomore lefty Austin Isenhart (1-0) only saw two innings of work but put himself in line for the win—his first of the season.
After stringing together five wins in a row, the Lobos were eager to continue their fine run of form. The Lobos traveled to Stockton, California last weekend to participate in the 3rd annual Mountain Pacific Invitational, a tournament they had won the previous year. This time, though, it wasn’t meant to be. The Lobos played Fresno State University for their first round match, which consistent solely of singles play, and the Lobos lost all but one.
The UNM men’s soccer team got back on the pitch on Saturday to kick off its 2017 spring season. Unfortunately for the Lobos, the result was not what they were looking for, as they ended up falling 2-1 in overtime to the Southern Methodist Mustangs in Dallas, Texas. The Mustangs were the first team on the board, finding the back of the net halfway through the first period. New Mexico was unable to get a goal of their own by halftime, at which point Southern Methodist enjoyed a 1-0 lead.

Lobo baseball will pack its bags and go on the road once again for their next matchup, this time facing New Mexico State in El Paso at the home of the Chihuahuas, the minor league Triple-A affiliate for the San Diego Padres. The game marks the 243rd meeting between the two teams, with the Lobos leading the all-time series 158-84. Last season, the Lobos won three of its four games against NMSU, with the lone loss coming in El Paso on the same field they’ll be playing at Tuesday.
The UNM women’s basketball team has its sights fully set on the Mountain West Tournament, as the Lobos enter Tuesday’s match in Las Vegas, Nevada as the fifth seed. New Mexico (15-14, 10-8 MW) will play fourth-seeded Boise State — a team that they split games with this season. The Lobos won the first matchup with the Broncos at WisePies Arena on Jan. 18, 75-68. But that was when the Lobo lineup still boasted sophomore Jaisa Nunn – who in February tore her ACL and is out for the season.
Western Massachusetts band Within the Ruins has come a long way from their massive, rhythmic metal albums of the early 2000s. With each new record they’ve released, the group has made strides in the genre, transforming a brutal deathcore atmosphere into melodic and highly technical progressive metal. Their most recent release, “Halfway Human,” sees the band exploring unfamiliar territory with old techniques to forge an album that, while true to style, incorporates the risks and experiments they’ve taken throughout their musical career.
Ever since the release of “+” in 2011, Ed Sheeran has emerged as a profoundly influential solo artist.

Last week, Sheeran released “÷," the highly anticipated follow-up to 2014’s “X.” He took his creative process in a new direction this time around.
