LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Air Force wasn't expected to be the toughest opponent for the UNM women's basketball team, but if the defense can repeat its performance, the Lobos can hang with anyone. No. 4 seed UNM held No. 9 Air Force to 23 points on 23 percent shooting in the first half, and coasted to an 84-41 victory in Tuesday's opening round of the Mountain West Conference Tournament.
Dear Dr. Peg, My roommate thought she got a spider bite when she went home last weekend. It got big and sore, so she went to Student Health and they told her it was an MRSA infection. She said they cut it open and gave her antibiotics. Is this contagious? Do I need to be on antibiotics too? Dear MRSA-mate, I remember your roommate, or someone like her.
Kids growing up in the Internet age might be exposed to cyber stalking when they surf the Web, Mayor Martin Chavez said. "It's particularly problematic because oftentimes, to parents and grandparents, this type of crime is very frightening, because older generations simply don't understand technology as well as their children and grandchildren," Chavez said.
It was a see-saw game for the UNM baseball team against in-state rival New Mexico State on Tuesday at Isotopes Park. Despite out-hitting the Aggies 14-9, the Lobos ended up on the losing side of a ninth-inning rally for a 5-4 loss. UNM is now 13-3 on the season, while NMSU has improved to 11-1.
Local advocacy group Food Not Bombs could face thousands of dollars in fines and removal by police if members don't get a food-service permit, health officials said. The group, which hands out free food near the Bookstore, was cited Friday after ignoring a warning issued in February to cease operations or apply for a permit.
He's not quite looking for Martians, but the Daily Lobo was intrigued enough to ask Horton Newsom, research professor at UNM's Institute of Meteoritics, about his research dealing with the red planet. Newsom is on the team of scientists that will launch the next Mars rover in 2012.
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - As the most experienced ball handler and a leader on the UNM women's basketball team, the pressure was on Amy Beggin to set the tone in the Mountain West Conference Tournament. In Tuesday's opening round, she obliged, pumping in 18 first-half points in an 84-41 victory over No.
Editor, The recent revelation printed in Saturday's Albuquerque Journal that UNM Vice President of Athletics Paul Krebs asked Rocky Long to resign raises serious questions that deserve answers. It is beyond comprehension how Krebs could commit the University to a new contract just three months prior to asking for Long's resignation.
Gov. Bill Richardson visited UNM on Tuesday and said he would support the addition of a regent faculty member, but he doesn't plan to withdraw his reappointment of Regents President Jamie Koch. Faculty members representing the Faculty Senate, Faculty Governance Committee and various campus departments met with Richardson and opened a dialogue on issues including the reappointment of Koch and an external audit of the University's finances.
Editor, I'd like to thank Dixon Duval for his comic piece in Monday's Daily Lobo. I couldn't help but laugh at his characterization of President Barack Obama as some sort of economic villain bent on destroying prosperity and turning America into a socialist dystopia.
When Steve Alford was named UNM men's basketball head coach in March 2007, he talked about building a program that would put the Lobos in the national spotlight. Two years into his career, Alford is on his way. On Monday, he was recognized by the Mountain West Conference as the league's 2008-09 Coach of the Year.
Steve Alford gets more than satisfaction out of a 20-win season, first place in the Mountain West Conference and Coach of the Year honors. The men's basketball head coach also gets $45,000 in incentive pay. Alford is eligible for incentive pay throughout the year, according to his employment contract.
Editor, Dixon Duval's guest column in Monday's Daily Lobo contains a couple of misleading statements. First is his intimation that we can now shift the blame for our wallowing economy from President Bush to President Obama. While he slips in a statement that the "disappearance of wealth cannot be blamed only on the previous administration," suggesting shared blame, the remainder of his statements lay the fault solely on Obama.
Is it possible that an Alan Moore comic has finally been turned into a movie Moore will be happy with? That's probably a bit of a stretch, but "Watchmen" is certainly a movie that any fan of the graphic novel should be fairly happy with. It sticks to the comic faithfully, though some changes to the ending were made, probably to make the story more cinematic.
Elliot Laurence, aka Ambassador Junior Lion, said his dream is to spread understanding through reggae music. Along the way, he happened to pick up the title for Reggae Artist of the Year at the St. Martin Music Awards in 2006 and 2007. Laurence will perform outside the SUB at noon on Wednesday and at 5 p.
Daily Lobo: Why paramedic? Robbie Pulliam: I just like helping out people. I'm not doing it for the money, because the pay for it, like the average, is $23,000. So, yeah, I just like helping out people. I'll probably go into firefighting, something like that.
Editor, Where to begin? Let's just say that the sum total of your ignorance, Dixon Duval, is almost impressive. "This is happening on Obama's watch." Exactly how long does Duval think that the failed policies of what he is supporting take to play out and then correct? "To deprive or prevent executives of their.
