your grandma’s spice rack Missing Not Smokeshops offer plethora of synthetic, pot-like products student found in Parish Library Staff report
news@dailylobo.com Former UNM student Colin Bentley, last seen by his mother Nov. 29, was spotted in Parish Library on Tuesday. A witness said Bentley was sleeping in the library. He was able to get into the building, which remains open 24 hours, using his Lobo ID card. A Parish staff member found Bentley at about 4 p.m., a witness said, and a UNMPD report was filed. Barbara Davis, Bentley’s mother, said she is relieved that her son is safe and credited the Tuesday Daily Lobo story in finding her son. She said she hopes he will still have a warm place to sleep, possibly still in the library. Zach Gould / Daily Lobo Synthetic marijuana is sold under the popular brand name K2 Spice. University Smoke Shop has more than 40 different K2 Spice varieties, including Route 69 and Serenity Now, which are sold for between $8-$15 a gram.

Considered a legal alternative to cannabis, synthetic marijuana is creating controversy surrounding its safety. Fifteen states banned smoke shops from selling K2 Spice, the most popular synthetic marijuana
brand, because of reports that users experienced intense nausea, increased heart rate and seizures. Albuquerque user Gabriella Pedregon, 19, said the experience was intense, but nothing she couldn’t handle. She said she first smoked Spice with a friend who was on probation. “It really put you out of it for a
while, like crazy,” she said. “Like really good weed, you are really, really up there. Then you come down. It also tastes horrible, like wood.” Legal steps to ban K2 Spice in New Mexico have only reached the county level. The City of Farmington and Luna County banned the product from being sold. So far, no bills have been introduced into the
New Mexico Legislature that permit a state-wide ban. Tara Mistra, of UNM Health Sciences Center, said introducing chemicals into the body in order to achieve a high is never a good idea. She said students looking for stress relief should find chemical-free

Students: No tuition credit, marriage bill the Legislature passed an additional 5 percent credit, tuition rose by 8.5 percent. “We are hoping legislators will do what’s right and not put the burden of funding other programs on college students,” he said. UNM will also ask the Legislature to implement across-the-board budget cuts at higher education institutions and allow departments to determine the areas they will cut funding from their budgets. Redefining marriage One representative is giving voters another chance to redefine marriage as between a man and a woman in the state’s constitution. Rep. Nora Espinoza (R-Roswell) introduced House Joint Resolution 7, or the Definition of Marriage Act, into the Consumer and Public Affairs Committee on Monday. “How a person chooses to live is not the issue,” Espinoza said. “We don’t want the definition of marriage to change.” The five-member committee, composed of three Democrats and two Republicans, will determine if the bill will be voted on by the full House of

The University is gearing up for UNM Day at the Legislature on Jan. 31, when University representatives will lobby lawmakers not to raise tuition as a means to alleviate budget shortfalls. Today, at 9 a.m., the House Education Committee will hear higher education recommendations for fiscal year 2012, and the meeting will be webcast on the New Mexico legislative website. ASUNM Chief of Staff Michael Thorning said his group’s No. 1 priority is to ensure no tuition credit is passed during the 60-day session. “The tuition credit acts more like a tax on students,” Thorning said. “It is a way for the Legislature to reduce the University’s overall allocation and divert funds to other programs.” UNM students saw an 8.5 percent tuition hike last year. Thorning said the University only recommended a 3.5 percent increase, but because

Representatives. If passed by the House and Senate, a proposition would be placed on the ballot that would give voters the option to lock marriage into a legal definition between one man and one woman. Espinoza has introduced the bill each year since 2007. Rep. Dennis Kintigh (R-Roswell), a member on the committee, said he will support the measure to ensure children will have the opportunity to be raised in a household with a mother and a father. “If you just have one gender in the residence, the child is missing out on the interaction between both genders,� Kintigh said. “It’s like they are missing a portion of the pie.�
Wednesday, January 26, 2011 / Page 3
LGBTQ Resource Center representative Jeffrey Waldo said Kintigh’s statements are false. “There is no factual evidence that a child raised in a household with a mother and father is better off than a child who is raised by a single gender,� he said. Passing this legislation would deny basic human rights to certain communities, an Equality New Mexico news release said. “Everyone who is married, and everyone who dreams of one day becoming so, knows that marriage is a public way of declaring your undying support and love for one another, in good times and bad,� Equality New Mexico President
Todd McElroy said. With the legislation, Espinoza wants to ensure New Mexicans get to determine the social issue, not legislators. “It’s not a partisan issue,� she said. “Hispanics and Catholics are very, very strong about family values and would support this issue at the polls.� Waldo said New Mexico voters would not support the DOMA if it were placed on the ballot. He said New Mexicans are more openminded than that. “Family includes LGBTQ families,� he said. “The rights of marriage should be extended to those families, as well.�

means of relaxation. “I would encourage students to turn to doing some meditation or just reading a book,� she said. “I would certainly advise against using Spice, and maybe trying some more holistic ways to feel better. I think that these are better alternatives and less expensive than Spice.� Tolpiyine Simbola, 22, said the substitute doesn’t look like marijuana. “It doesn’t smell like it, but it gets you high,� he said. “It gave me a longer high than marijuana did.� In local smoke shops, K2 Spice is sold as herbal or botanical incense, because of Drug Enforcement Administration regulations. It comes in bright, tea-bag-sized packages and is sold under colorful names like King Kong, Route 69, Texas Tea, Mystic Monkey Potpourri and iBlown. Each brand says it won’t show up on a drug test, and University Smoke Shop representative Alex Demooy said that’s one reason the product is in demand “Most people who want it are on probation,� he said. “They don’t want to test positive.� Prices range from $8-$15 a gram.

the synthetic cannabinoids that mimic THC’s side effects. The active ingredient in Spice that makes users feel high is Cannabicyclohexanol, according to a 2009 study from the University of Freiburg in Germany. Simbola said he didn’t experience any side effects after smoking Spice, but said he has a high tolerance to marijuana. “Honestly, it tastes like you smoked a plant,� he said. “It’s easily available, and it’s cheaper. You honestly just need a little bit to get high.�
Manufacturers change the composition of their products because legally the product cannot be chemically similar to THC. Pfizer created synthetic cannabinoid JWH 018, according to WebMD.com. The synthetic cannabinoids bind to the body’s cannabinoid receptors tighter than THC because, while THC only partially binds to regulators of body function, most of the synthetic cannabinoids activate the receptor fully, according to the website.

LETTERS Aggressive tactics used to increase enrollment numbers Editor, Vice President for Enrollment Management Carmen Alvarez Brown is a cancer to the University. Last week she sent an e-mail to seniors welcoming us to the University and thanking us for the confidence we placed in UNM. This e-mail also informed seniors that LOBO Trax “is an outstanding resource available to you to determine if courses that interest you work in your degree program.” Unfortunately, this is standard performance for Brown. Last spring I was a telecounselor. My job was to call new admits and answer their UNM questions. Carmen yelled at us because enrollment rates were down. She remedied the situation by having us call students who received their rejection letter, the parents of deceased children, students who we had already called more than six times and students who were no longer on track to graduate high school. This made people mad. I know; they told me. When a bad economy forced people to go back to school, she said it was because of our aggressive call campaigns. How will she spin this fiasco? Maybe, “I’m pleased with the increase in graduation rates. I chalk it up to our aggressive e-mail campaign that made seniors feel welcome.” Casey Echternacht UNM student
‘Lakewood’ really funny, deserves credit and space Editor, I am writing to you in response to a letter written by Philip Lafreniere, concerning the publication of the comic strip, “Lakewood.” I found his letter unsettling, and many other students did, as well. “The comic strip that you publish called ‘Lakewood’ lacks any level of humor and as such to me is a waste of space.” I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion, but he fails to justify his arguments. I doubt the Daily Lobo just caters to Lafreniere’s tastes, and for someone to go this far and say someone’s artistic and comedic work is a waste of space is unprofessional. Beyond that point, I believe that the Daily Lobo publishing Nathan Rackley’s comic strip was a good choice. Publishing a comic strip written by a UNM student promotes exactly what universities should be promoting: having students strive for their dreams. As such, I find the Daily Lobo a fantastic print publication. It is up to the Daily Lobo staff to decide what goes into the paper. I felt I had to write a response to such a poorly written argument.

Hey, holiday hogs: Graze greener
by Peggy Spencer, MD Daily Lobo Columnist
Did you make a resolution to eat healthier this year? I did. I usually do, after the season of stuffing that just passed. I sure love roast turkey and pie a la mega-mode, but oof! Talk about too much of a good thing! I feel like I need a month just to digest. If you too want to mend your wicked food ways, here are some general tips to guide you. The healthiest diet is plant based. That means heavy on the fruits and vegetables. Eating plants has been shown to result in less cancer, less heart disease and more years of living. Release your inner bovine. Graze. Munch. Eat fresh vegetables, raw or cooked, and fresh fruit as much as possible. Try to include all colors of the spectrum. That way you’ll get a good variety. Aim for seven to nine servings a day and you’ll be on track for maximum health. Next up: whole grains, pasta and legumes. Whole means not processed. Grains are made from the seeds of various grasses. Each seed is composed of the bran, which is the outer shell and contains most of the fiber, the germ, which is the fertile and nutrient-dense center that forms a new grass sprout, and the kernel, which is the biggest but least nutritious part. Whole grains have all their parts. Processed grains have had the bran and the germ re-
moved, leaving only the kernel. Examples of whole grains are brown rice, wild rice, buckwheat groats, barley, quinoa and steel-cut oats. This stuff is great for the digestion, helps prevent heart disease, and keeps you oh-so regular. Pasta is best in moderation, made from whole wheat, and cooked “al dente”, which is loose Italian for firm, not mushy. Pasta cooked al dente has a lower glycemic index. This means the carbs in it break down slowly and won’t make your blood sugar spike up as far and fast as, say, cookies, which have a high glycemic index. Too many sugar spikes are like the boy who cried wolf: eventually your body might stop listening and lose its ability to handle sugar well. Result? Diabetes and obesity just for starters. Low glycemic is the way to go. Toss your firm pasta with some steamed vegetables, drizzle on olive oil, and top with high-quality natural grated cheese. Buon appetito!
“If you too want to mend your wicked food ways, here are some general tips to guide you.” Legumes are a class of vegetables that includes beans, peas and lentils. These are some of the most versatile and nutritious foods around. They are typically low in fat, contain no cholesterol, and are high in folate, potassium, iron and magnesium. They also contain beneficial fats and soluble and insoluble fiber. A good source of protein, legumes can be
a healthy substitute for meat, which is higher in fat and cholesterol. Beans are your friend. Believe it. After legumes on the list are healthy fats like nuts and olive oil, as well as fish. Fish contains the famous omega-3 fatty acids, superhero fighters of many health problems from cancer to arthritis. If you can’t stomach fish twice a week, take a fish oil supplement instead. Last and least is animal protein. That means go easy on the burgers, bud. They’re just not good for you. Too much fat, too many antibiotics and hormones, not enough nutrition. Same goes for most dairy products, which are best taken as low-fat, organic milks and cheeses. Filling in the cracks are vitamins and supplements, and topping off the whole thing is my personal favorite, dark chocolate. Mind, the chocolate is at the tip-top of the pyramid, recommended at only about one ounce a day, but I consider myself lucky it’s on there at all. As for the vitamins and supplements, I recommend you start with a daily multivitamin and consult your health provider for more advice. Water is not technically a food, but it is a crucial part of your diet, especially here in the high desert. Carry a water bottle with you, and drink from it all day long. For a more detailed look at a good healthy food pyramid, see www.drweil.com. And remember, small, slow changes stick best in the long run. Good luck!

No more space for Myspace by Chris Quintana
culture@dailylobo.com The recent redux of the website Myspace raises the question: Whose space is it, anyway? Like most of the population, I almost forgot about Myspace, or as it goes by these days My ______. The former titan of social media only entered my consciousness because I was doing research on a local artist who miraculously still had a page. Curious, I went to the homepage, and realized the space these days is a landfill of failed attempts to revitalize the social media relic. Ads for Megan Fox in lingerie, a Chinese elephant man and features on Natalie Portman’s laugh littered the page. There were claims to top bands with Rise Against as the top rock band, or the top single from Kedollar sign-ha. Guns ‘N’ Roses was another popular band, non-ironically from what I can tell. Yet another was a contest for a barbecue grill (really). A little more probing revealed even greater depths of trashiness. I logged into my profile, after struggling to remember the damn password for a good 15 minutes, and was greeted by an improved newsfeed. The top of the list? An article all about Oprah Winfrey and farther down one all about Taylor Lautner. Granted, Myspace users, or losers as they call themselves these days, can customize their feed to focus on whichever celebrity or band they would like, and I suppose the most popular celebrities automatically fill the feed with no input. However, this
system sucks. The suckitude of Myspace might be attributed to its redesign last June. Or it could be because the company just laid off 47 percent of the workforce. Or it could be because no one on the planet uses Myspace anymore. Pardon, that’s not quite true. Last year, according to comsCore Inc., Myspace reported about 55 million users, a 9 million decrease from the previous year. Whether that takes into account dead profiles, and ones that are still around but no longer used like mine, is questionable. I do know when I logged in, my friend count was 23, down about 50 since the last time I checked. I also know when I checked the statuses from my friends, about 20 percent said they had left Myspace for Facebook, and the rest were from two years ago. Out of all of them, one or two were updates (by which I mean only a month or two old). Out of curiosity, I then checked to see if Myspace had a Facebook. It does, and it has about 437,562 fans. However, most of the comments on the wall are all about how much the new Myspace sucks. This outrage over the redesign is by no means isolated. A group in England has even gone so far as to try to create a group to buy Myspace from its owner, News Corp Digital Media. The group collected about £13915 thus far ($22,183 in real money). Obviously, the group has a long way to go, but its effort is a poignant statement about the fallen nature of the site: Some people still care.
I did more searching after figuring this out. Myspace is still a hot spot for fledgling bands just getting their music out there, and I suppose some people still use it for social networking, though I don’t really know anyone who does. By and large, though, it’s become just another place to track bands and celebrities, services already offered on every corner of the Internet. The website seems to be adopting the idea that original content isn’t necessary so long as it has the name “Myspace� to go along with it. Some popular comments from the site BuyMyspace.org include, “We are asking people to not accept that they cannot control what they use online, return to MySpace, but on your terms, ‘OurSpace’ ‘YourSpace,’ your rules.� Basically, they want complete control over their profile, a service already offered by Facebook. Don’t get me wrong. I have fond memories of using the site back in high school. It was a good introduction to the Internet world, but then I remembered the shitty parts of Myspace. Flash animations on every page, and even worse, friend rankings that could devalue a person’s selfworth with a simple rearrangement. There’s a reason Myspace went the way of the dinosaurs, though the ancient reptiles lasted longer. And while I don’t know the exact reason why it failed, besides Facebook kicking its ass, I do know more semi-nude pictures of Katy Perry or the Kardashian sisters is probably not going to save it. Put in some semi-nude pictures of Penelope Cruz, and we’ll talk.

Pianist could have had epilepsy Associated Press
DAILY LOBO new mexico
SNOW REPORT
LONDON — Artistic genius may sometimes teeter on the brink of madness, but in the case of 19thcentury romantic composer Frederic Chopin, some doctors have a more straightforward explanation: epilepsy. During his lifetime, Chopin’s tendency to drift off while at the piano was interpreted by his partner George Sand as “the manifestation of a genius full of sentiment and expression.” But in a new analysis published this week, Spanish doctors say Chopin’s hallucinations may have been due to a temporal lobe epilepsy rather than the result of any sweeping artistic tendencies. Manuel Vazquez Caruncho and Francisco Branas Fernandez of the Complexo Hospitalario Xeral-Calde in Spain analyzed descriptions of Chopin’s hallucinations from those close to him. They propose the French-Polish composer suf-
fered from a type of epilepsy that produces conscious hallucinations that last from seconds to minutes. The research was published in the journal Medical Humanities, a specialist publication of the British Medical Journal. Caruncho and Fernandez cite an extract from Sand’s memoir, where she recalls returning to the home she shared with Chopin, along with her son, after a long journey delayed by flooding. The composer had been playing one of his preludes and told Sand he was lulled to sleep while at the piano and saw himself drowned at the bottom of a lake. Hallucinations are typically seen in patients with severe psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Other romantic composers such as Robert Schumann, who was committed to an asylum, experienced auditory and visual hallucinations which some believed were the product of his musical genius.
Caruncho and Fernandez say Chopin’s hallucinations occurred mostly in the evening or coincided with fever, unlike those linked to psychotic disorders. While Chopin was plagued by health ailments, including tuberculosis, severe headaches and insomnia, there is no record he was diagnosed with any neurological problems. Caruncho and Fernandez suggest that because Chopin was able to recall his complex hallucinations in detail, they could have been caused by a temporal lobe epilepsy. They acknowledge that without brain imaging or other tests, proving it will be nearly impossible. “We doubt that another diagnosis ... will help us understand the artistic world of Frederic Chopin,” Caruncho and Fernandez wrote. “But we do believe knowing he had (epilepsy) could help to separate romanticized legend from reality.”
