UNMH receives new life-saving medical device

The University of New Mexico Hospital is the first hospital in the state to use a new machine that increases the survival rate of patients suffering from life-threatening lung and/or heart problems. Last fall UNMH received a portable Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation machine. An ECMO machine works by pulling blood out of a patient and running it through a device that oxygenates the blood and removes carbon dioxide. The machine then returns the blood to the patient’s body in a manner that bypasses the heart and lungs.

The UNM Symphonic Band, Percussion Ensemble and Saxophone Choir held a concert Wednesday evening. “There's always a few (issues while playing), but for the most part, it came together really well,” said Samantha Rice, a clarinet player in the Symphonic Band. The concert started with the Percussion Ensemble taking the stage, all holding various sizes of triangles, as the piece they played, “Escape: Sextet for Triangles” by Drew Worden, only required triangles.

Football: Davie suspended, Cosgrove will serve as acting head coach

The University of New Mexico Board of Regents voted against hearing head football coach Bob Davie's appeal — and it was announced Thursday that his suspension would soon begin. Interim President Chaouki Abdallah announced that Davie’s suspension would officially start Saturday, Feb. 17 and continue through March 18, without pay. News of the suspension might have been a surprise to some — perhaps even Davie. The head coach seemed to think his suspension would not interfere with spring practice, which began last Friday.

Men's Basketball: Lobos overcome slow start to pull away from Utah State

The University of New Mexico men's basketball team fell behind early, but got a big lift to close out the first half and eventually defeat Utah State going away on Wednesday night. New Mexico (13-14, 8-6 MW) dispatched of the Utah State Aggies by a score of 78-63, which gave the Lobos the inside track, placing them in a four-way tie for fourth place, in the Mountain West conference standings. Antino Jackson opened the scoring with a 3-pointer en route to the Lobos scoring the first five points of the game. But the Aggies responded with an 8-0 spurt and the game of runs was on.

Baseball: Pitching carries Lobos to victory over Cal Poly

It took an extra inning to do it, but a two-run single from junior outfielder Jeff Deimling, as well as a solid outing from sophomore reliever Nathaniel Garley, willed the University of New Mexico baseball team to its first win of the season over Cal Poly, 3-1, on Saturday in Surprise, Arizona. Senior outfielder Danny Collier led the 10th inning with a single, before a sac-bunt led to the Lobos’ first out. But junior outfielder Jared Mang laid down a bunt, which Cal Poly threw away, to put runners in scoring position. From there, Deimling connected on a pitch for a two-run single, ultimately giving his team the win. Deimling also scored the Lobos’ (1-1) lone run before winning the game, when he scored a runner on a fielder’s choice in the sixth inning.

Movie Review: Excellent performances and costume design, yet repetitive storyline in “Phantom Thread”

Paul Thomas Anderson’s got a knack for writing some of the most original dramas on either side of the century. Anderson’s films always feel eerily intimate and personal with a certain manic lace running beneath the covers. From Philip Seymour Hoffman’s charismatic cultist in “The Master” to Adam Sandler’s shockingly good performance in “Punch-drunk Love,” Anderson is a master at crafting and directing character-driven films.

Movie Review: “The Greatest Showman” sanitizes history, lacks storytelling skills

The world-famous P.T. Barnum was many things, but being a respectable, handsome, well-mannered man — basically Hugh Jackman — wasn’t one of them. An ardent exploiter of people and animals, Barnum’s history of cruelty was well documented throughout the 19th century. “The Greatest Showman” is a simple-minded, sanitized take on the life of a bad man and a bad industry that has only middling results at its best.

Movie Review: “I, Tonya” toys with truth and humor, but falls short with stylistic choice

People in this generation have been desensitized by the luxury of waking up to shiny new fiascos across all forms of media all day, every day. Scandals had a lot more staying power just a couple of decades ago with OJ Simpson’s prosecution in the summer of ’94 being crowned the trial of the century. That same year not even a few months before OJ, Tonya Harding was one of the the most hated people in the world.

Baseball: Lobos fall to No. 2 Oregon State in season opener

A strong fourth inning propelled No. 2 Oregon State to a 5-2 win over the University of New Mexico baseball team on Friday afternoon in Surprise, Arizona. The game was the Lobos’ season opener. But a combination of strong pitching and the Beavers’ high octane proved too much for the Lobos (0-1), as they were held to just four hits and were struck out seven times. The Beavers (1-0), on the other hand, recorded 10 hits, including two home runs and three doubles. Senior outfielder Danny Collier led off for the Lobos at the top of the first inning, though he swung at the first pitch and hit a flyout. Shortly after, junior shortstop Hayden Schilling was hit on the shoulder by a slider. But Oregon State senior pitcher Luke Heimlich found his groove after that mishap, and struck out junior outfielder Jared Mang while the catcher threw out Schilling trying to steal second.

HSC Orchestra helps UNM community stay connected to music

Composed of healthcare professionals, students and community members, the Health Science Center Orchestra encourages those interested in renewing old skills on the violin, flute or other instrument they learned in high school to attend a rehearsal. Trombonist and biology Ph.D. student Tim Ohlert said, “This is my second semester in the orchestra, and my favorite part is the community mentality that we are all professionals and experts in diverse fields, but we make time to come together and play music.” The group is welcoming of new members as at least two new musicians attended this past Sunday’s rehearsal.

Path of reported incidents concerning gunman on campus

Gunman arrested after incidents at Duck Pond and near campus

University of New Mexico students, staff and faculty received an alarming alert Thursday morning about a man on campus who pulled a gun on several people. According to the LoboAlert — sent out at 10:38 a.m. — a dark-skinned male wearing a green pancho started heading south towards Central Avenue after brandishing a gun in front of multiple people. Lt.

Review: "Black Panther" album proves boisterous and flashy

One week before one of the most talked about superhero movies opens in theaters, Top Dawg Entertainment released what will prove to be a game-changing movie album. Disney, of all companies, approached Top Dawg Entertainment — home of hip-hop and R&B titans such as ScHoolboy Q, Ab-Soul, SZA and of course King Kendrick — and requested that Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith and Kendrick Lamar curate and produce the album for the "Black Panther" movie. This proved to be a unique opportunity for a record label that has given the world nothing but quality music. With the release of the "Black Panther" album this trend continues.

Women’s Basketball: Lobos cruise to easy victory at Utah State

No Alex Lapeyrolerie, no problem. The senior guard and 3-point sharpshooter missed her first game after tearing her ACL in her left leg, as first reported by the Albuquerque Journal’s Ken Sickenger, though the loss of her didn’t matter much when they played Utah State on the road on Wednesday evening. The Lobos did, however, take home a 74-50 victory, driving in cruise control the majority of the game behind a stellar defensive effort and a steady stream of scoring.
