University Planning Officer Mary Kenney said the Facility Access Com- mittee will install automatic doors in academic buildings around campus within the next month. She said the project cost $75,000 and was funded by the University’s Budget Office. Kenney said the FAC voted in November 2011 to address as many doors that need automatic door openers as was financially pos- sible. She said that so far, about 25 buildings, such as the Anthropology Building and Mesa Vista Hall, have been identified to be replaced with au- tomatic doors and appropriate signage. Kenney said that until 2008, UNM received general obligations bonds amounting be- tween $350,000 and $600,000 from the state’s Higher Edu- cation Department every other year. But she said that in 2009, funding stopped and the FAC budget was limited to only $75,000. Kenney said the project is proof that UNM is concerned with accom- modating students with disabilities. “UNM is constantly engaged in a proactive evaluation of our facilities, our financial resources and our im- plementation process to ensure full accessibility on all UNM campuses,” she said. But UNM student Mary Connors, who uses a wheelchair, said the University’s efforts to improve campus accessibility are still not sufficient. Connors said that although the buildings are accessible enough, students with disabilities often find problems with ramps. “ere’s a ramp across from the SUB by the Education Building, and it has this really ridiculously high wall,” she said. “It clearly says no bikes and no skateboards, but (peo- ple) just don’t care. You can’t see anybody around the corner, and one time I’ve almost gotten hit.” Connors said the ramp does not adhere to building codes because some ramps are steeper than what is allowed by the Americans with Dis- abilities Act, a law that prohibits dis- crimination against people who have disabilities. She said that because the ramps are hard to climb, it’s difficult for her to get to various parts of cam- pus and arrive at her classes on time. According to the 2010 Americans with Disabilities Act Standards for Accessible Design, ramps built after 2010 should have a maximum steep- ness ratio of 1:12, which means that every 12 inches of a ramp can have a maximum rise of 1 inch. In March 2012, the act mandated that ramps built prior to 2010 should have a maximum steepness ratio of 1:8. “e ramp is too steep by code standards,” Connors said. “I need help to go up it, and I’m a pretty strong person. If you have (cerebral palsy) or (multiple sclerosis), that particular ramp is not really condu- cive. We pay to be here. If we can’t get to class, then what’s the point?” Connors said she has concerns about the S-shaped ramp near the Cornell Mall, which attracts a num- ber of cyclists and skateboarders, es- pecially during afternoons. She said she blames the University and secu- rity officers for not monitoring the ramps keenly. “ey don’t enforce the ‘no bikes, no skateboards’ rule. ere are some times when I think a bicycle is go- ing to come down that ramp and flip over me,” she said. “It seems like they don’t really care. I think they still think of us as outsiders, and we don’t need help and accom- modations, but we do.” Kenney, who did not confirm whether the ramp is up to ADA stan- dards, said that the FAC has received multiple complaints about the ramp and plans to address students’ issues with the S-ramp as soon as possible, although it will take longer to repair the ramp permanently. She said the ramp doesn’t work efficiently for anyone who uses it and that a per- manent solution would require sig- nificant redesign, which would be complex, long-term and expensive. Kenney said that within the next 10 years, the FAC plans to improve the pathway from Roma Way to the Cornell Mall by removing the Educa- tion Classrooms building. She said removing the building is the only way to alter the sloped terrain of the area that makes the ramps so steep. Kenney said the FAC will ad- dress other accessibility issues, such as clearer signage and the lack of handicapped bathrooms and eleva- tor panels, in the future. But she said budget constraints greatly affect the FAC plans for remodeling and that the committee can only resolve prob- lems that have available funding. “ere is a significant need for adequate funding to address acces- sibility issues throughout campus,” she said. “But the budget office is generously funding another $75,000 for this year, and strongly recom- mended that the FAC prepare a cap- ital outlay request for the next GO Bond cycle in 2014.” Connors said she hopes the Uni- versity will listen to students with disabilities and fix the ramps as soon as possible.

Larry Rainosek said that for the past 30 years, the restaurant has maintained policies about study groups during peak business hours, which are between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.

Although the University will improve accessibility for disabled students, some feel that the University’s response to necessary campus improvements has not happened quickly enough.

University Planning O� cer Mary Kenney said the Facility Access Com-mittee will install automatic doors in academic buildings around campus within the next month. She said the project cost $75,000 and was funded by the University’s Budget O� ce.

Kenney said the FAC voted in November 2011 to address as many doors that need automatic door openers as was � nancially pos-sible.

“UNM is constantly engaged in a proactive evaluation of our facilities, our � nancial resources and our im-plementation process to ensure full accessibility on all UNM campuses,” she said.

But UNM student Mary Connors, who uses a wheelchair, said the University’s e� orts to improve campus accessibility are still not su� cient. Connors said that although the buildings are accessible enough, students with disabilities often � nd problems with ramps.

Larry Rainosek and his wife Dorothy Rainosek opened Frontier in 1971 and have lightly enforced the no-study-groups rule ever since.

Show Me Howto fi x cooking mistakes

Mistake 1Although I dropped out of culinary school only a year after I enrolled, I’ve spent countless hours glued to the Food Network channel and perfecting

my culinary expertise. I’ve cooked for at least 15 years, and in that time I’ve learned a lot. Here I’ll share with you some mistakes to avoid.

~ Svetlana Ozden

Cooking with cold oilIf you’re cooking with oil, be sure to heat the oil before you begin cooking. Adding food to cold- or room-

temperature oil will allow your ingredients to absorb the oil before anything begins to cook. To avoid a greasy mess, preheat the oil until it creates ripples in the pan as it moves from one side to the other.

Mistake 2 Closing the oven when the broiler is onBroilers run at high temperatures, at least 500 degrees, which means that whatever you broil

can burn quickly. Keeping the oven door open will allow you to closely monitor the broiling process, which makes it less likely that your food will burn or that you’ll forget your food under the broiler.

Adding oil to pasta waterMistake 3Unless you plan on eating plain pasta, don’t add oil to your pasta water. Oil will coat the

pasta, which will make it di� cult for pasta sauce to stick to the pasta. If you don’t want your pasta to stick together, rinse it with cold water once it’s cooked to stop the cooking process, which will keep the pasta from becoming sticky. You can add the cooked and chilled pasta to heated pasta sauce to warm the pasta.

Using high heatMistake 4Unless you’re boiling water, don’t use the highest heat setting on your stove. Most cooking

styles, such as searing and sauteing, can be done with the medium or medium-high setting on a stove. Cooking with high heat will most likely burn the outside of your food and leave the inside raw. A medium or medium-high heat will allow time for the center of the food to cook before the outside burns.

Mistake 5 Cross-contaminationYou should never use the same cookware for raw and cooked foods. Cross-contamination,

such as transferring salmonella, can occur if you aren’t careful. Designate cookware, such as knives and cutting boards, for di� erent types of food, such as produce and poultry, so you’re sure you don’t transfer bacteria from one food to the other.

Debate from page 1credits and so forth, so we keep getting the revenue we need. And you’d think, well, then why lower the rates? And the reason is because small business pays that individual rate; 54 percent of America’s workers work in businesses that are taxed not at the corporate tax rate, but at the individual tax rate. And if we lower that rate, they will be able to hire more people. For me, this is about jobs. This is about getting jobs for the American people.”

SpendingObama: “I think we’ve got to

invest in education and training. I think it’s important for us to de-velop new sources of energy here in America, that we change our tax code to make sure that we’re help-ing small businesses and compa-nies that are investing here in the United States, that we take some of the money that we’re saving as we wind down two wars to re-build America and that we reduce our deficit in a balanced way that allows us to make these critical investments.”

Romney: “First of all, I will eliminate all programs by this test, if they don’t pass it: Is the pro-gram so critical it’s worth borrow-ing money from China to pay for it? And if not, I’ll get rid of it. … No. 2, I’ll take programs that are currently good programs but I think could be run more efficiently at the state lev-el and send them to the state. No. 3, I’ll make government more effi-cient and to cut back the number of employees, combine some agen-cies and departments.”

JobsObama: “We’ve got some data

on which approach is more likely to create jobs and opportunity for Americans, and I believe that the economy works best when middle-class families are getting tax breaks so that they’ve got some money in

their pockets. And those of us who have done extraordinarily well be-cause of this magnificent country that we live in, that we can afford to do a little bit more to make sure we’re not blowing up the deficit.”

Romney: “My priority is jobs. And so what I do is I bring down the tax rates, lower deductions and ex-emptions — the same idea behind Bowles-Simpson, by the way. Get the rates down, lower deductions and exemptions, to create more jobs. Because there’s nothing bet-ter for getting us to a balanced bud-get than having more people work-ing, earning more money, paying more taxes. That’s by far the most effective and efficient way to get this budget balanced.”

MedicareObama: “I don’t think vouch-

ers are the right way to go. And this is not my own — only my opinion. AARP thinks that the savings that we obtained from Medicare bolster the system, lengthen the Medicare trust fund by eight years. Benefits were not affected at all. And ironi-cally, if you repeal ‘Obamacare’ — and I have become fond of this term, Obamacare — if you repeal it, what happens is those seniors right away are going to be paying $600 more in prescription care. They’re now going to have to be paying co-pays for basic checkups that can keep them healthier.”

Romney: “What I support is no change for current retirees and near-retirees to Medicare. And the president supports taking $716 bil-lion out of that program. ... For peo-ple coming along that are young, what I do to make sure that we can keep Medicare in place for them is to allow them either to choose the current Medicare program or a pri-vate plan. Their choice.”

Can anybody tell me what it means to be an American anymore? I’ve always wondered what people meant by phrases such as “I’m proud to be an American,” or “God bless America,” be-cause not all of those people are talking about people who live in America. I understand that it means something different to everybody, based on the numerous people I’ve asked during the past couple of years, but there seems to be a more general ideology upon which the defini-tion of American is based.

I imagine many people look wistfully upon a time when America was on top of the world, and some of those people may desperately try to convince themselves that America is still this way. America will not be a hegemon for long, and it has nothing to do with any other country’s agenda “against us.”

I want to generate new ideas, because the system needs to change along with the times. For one thing, America need not be so concerned with maintaining its “superior” position in the world. Why does anybody need to be superior? Why do we have to meddle so much?

I am not proud to be American based on the way we as a nation conduct ourselves in the world. We are pushy and think we know best, but we don’t. Every culture has its own way of doing things, and we need to be tolerant. The new sys-tem is one that accommodates individual differ-ences, not just in the world, but within our own nation. Another person’s lifestyle has nothing to do with you, and until it directly affects your well-being, why should there be laws enacted to control that lifestyle? Let people do their own thing, and when they make stupid decisions, don’t make a far-reaching law that assumes the stupidity of the population.

Our focus should not be on controlling the lives of others. Why isn’t education at the top of our list? Education is a crucial process in every-one’s life, even if it’s not carried out in the way we think of it. The system overworks and un-derpays teachers, so is it any wonder our coun-try is failing to consistently produce outstanding individuals?

I sat in the back of a large lecture hall one day. At the beginning of class, a group of ath-letes asked each other, “How long are you going to stay today?” “I don’t know, probably 20 min-utes.” “Man, I think I’m just going to bail right now.” Girls swirling their $8 lattes chit-chatted several minutes past the professor’s first words, and didn’t stop until I told them to. Why don’t we take our education seriously? Probably because we realize it is only a piece of paper that means we were able to finish something, so we only need to do the bare minimum to succeed.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, so wrong. I try not to judge, because who am I to do so? But use your damn brain. Knowledge isn’t as important as the way we use it, which is to make informed deci-sions that account for the vast diversity in the world. People in this country are aware of their needs, their schedule and their priorities, and screw everyone else’s unless helping someone else does them a favor as well.

Granted, this isn’t everyone, and if I were to talk to people individually, I hope they wouldn’t say they believe education is worthless. It is this general attitude that is evident in the way our country is run. The individuals that make up this system are far ahead of the system itself, yet nothing has changed.

I don’t know what needs to happen, so why don’t you tell me what you think should be done? We cannot sit passively and wait for poli-ticians to do the right thing. The power is in the hands of the people, and we cannot complain until we use this power. Politicians have to pow-er to enact change; we just need to inform them what we want done, and if they see enough sup-port behind an idea, they will listen, because a politician’s success depends on the support of the people.

Jason StaffordDaily Lobo guest columnist

Recently, the Daily Lobo has been run-ning reader-submitted pieces in an effort to present both sides of the story, and I have been following them. You recently deigned to print a letter from the libertarian point of view (see “Using factual labels essential to debate,” published Monday) due to the lack of submissions from a Republican point of view. The seemingly reluctant printing of the libertarian letter is another topic com-pletely, though it is an indicator of why the two-party system in the U.S. has become as intractable as it has.

But my point is not that. The point is the lack of letters received by the Daily Lobo from Republicans. Is anyone surprised by this? That this party that has spent four years slinging the most base, and sometimes lu-dicrous, accusations at the president can’t step up to the plate and write something that supports the GOP shouldn’t surprise anyone. When it’s time to leave rhetoric and fear-based politics behind and com-municate, the Right is once again mute.

And who would write this letter if someone on the Right did step up? The

most fervent believers in the GOP are too dumbed down by the party line to present any form of literate approach to the conversation. They offer only vitriol and straw man arguments along with loud tu quoque — Latin for “you too” or “you also” — misdirection when faced with any difficulties. For four years, this angry, delusional side of the party has been pandered to, and its members are left with a base dumb enough to believe the GOP disconnect whole, but unable to communicate.

Another large and moderate portion of the GOP are probably ashamed to speak up for a party that has spent four years in preparation to make President Obama a one-term president, and the very best they can offer up is presidential candidate Mitt Romney. How awful that must feel to want to support your party and realize that you’ve been disenfranchised in favor of the fundamentally nutty element, and to top it off, the current candidate of your party is Mitt Romney. Once the “But at least he isn’t Obama” wears off and reality has to be looked at, I doubt many of the rational Re-publicans left can muster up any reason to like this guy, let alone vote for him.

If bumpers and front yards are any indica-tor, not many people are willing to publicly support Romney. They may reluctantly vote for him, but they won’t be pleased with it, and they aren’t going to write the Daily Lobo to try to explain that this guy is fit to lead the country in any way, shape or form.

There is another group that could have written in to represent the GOP, except they aren’t Republicans anymore. I would be one of those. I’m not claiming my let-ter would be a missive to change the shape and face of politics or even change one opinion, but it would have been written with sincerity and positivity. It wouldn’t

have been filled with odd accusations of Kenyan-Muslim-Commu-Facism; it would have been an attempt to explain why being fiscally conservative and socially liberal is not a bad thing, and that’s why I support some GOP candidate who isn’t some fun-damental dolt.

But I left the party when it became in-tractable to the detriment of the entirety of this nation’s citizens. I left the party when its members sold it over to fundamen-talist religion and Tea Party extremism. I left when there was no place for voices to speak logically above the din of idiocy tak-ing over the GOP.

Wrapped in the American flag and screeching about the Founding Fathers lies the GOP. Clutching their pearls and catch-ing the vapors and playing victim at every opportunity while they preach all-Ameri-can values and toughness. This party, once the stomping grounds of guys like John Wayne, is now the party of the victims who cry for their fainting couch over every per-ceived slight, as Americans different than them — but equally citizens — begin to ex-ercise the rights that are theirs as well.

Maybe in another four years, the GOP will have done something — anything — posi-tive to motivate a Republican to stand up and write a letter in support. A credible letter that points to moving forward. A letter free from divisive screeching and victimization. A let-ter with a plan and a point and not just empty rhetoric. Until then, none of us who read the Daily Lobo are any less empty for having not read a letter written to support this current Republican Party.

should monitor its budgets closely to improve the campus’ accessibil-ity options.

“I want to see precisely where (the money) is going,” she said. “I would just tell them to make sure it’s notice-able that what they’re doing is help-ful to the disabled community.”

UNM Honors College professor Leslie Donovan, who uses a wheel-chair, said students have needed au-tomatic doors in the past and that she’s glad that the problem is finally being addressed.

“I come over to Marron Hall quite a bit,” Donovan said. “The dif-ficulty that I have is that there are no buttons for automatic doors and no elevators to go upstairs. (Installing automatic doors) is wonderful.”

Kenney said that although only some buildings will be updated within the next month, other build-ings, such as Marron Hall, will be as-sessed and updated when funding is available.

Donovan said that UNM’s acces-sibility can still improve through the addition of Braille signage and reno-vations of elevators. But she said she does not blame the FAC for the lack of these features.

“They make a lot of effort,” she said. “But lack of funding makes many areas less accessible for people with mobility issues and visual disabilities.”

The UNM Quidditch team’s biggest obstacle isn’t funding, membership or rechartering — it’s gravity.

Luckily for the team, “Muggle Quidditch” was invented seven years ago, with a comprehensive rulebook that explains how to play the sport on the ground.

Quidditch is soaring in popularity at colleges throughout the country, and student Nichole Bosas plans on expanding this once-� ctional sport to UNM.

Bosas is co-captain of the newly born UNM Quidditch team, alongside co-cap-tain Seth Kazmar. Bosas � rst dabbled with the broom-dominated sport in 2010, after a friend recommended play-ing for the Illinois State University team. Bosas had never seen or read any Har-ry Potter material before attending her � rst Quidditch practice — rather, her background in soccer and ice hockey kicked in when playing the aggressive sport. She still hasn’t read the books or seen the movies.

Quidditch is based on a � ctional sport of the same name from J.K. Rowling’s best-selling Harry Potter books and movie series, which are about a young wizard named Harry who attends a school of magic called Hogwarts. “Muggle” — or nonmagical — Quidditch features many of the same rules as the � ctional game, except the snitch is a person and other rules make the game gravity-friendly.

UNM’s Quidditch team began in early September, allow-ing players old and new to join the group. Although the team has only held two practices, eager UNM students have warmly met the developing team. At one point during their � rst practice, a student who claimed to be a basketball player admitted he would love to join the team if he wasn’t already on the basketball team. Bosas said the sport’s reception has improved since she played with teams at Illinois State and Kentucky State.

“When we would walk to practice on campus, people would give us the worst looks ever and give us smart comments, like ‘Oh, where are your wands at?’ Yeah, that gets old after a time,” Bosas said. “Once they really � nd out it’s a competitive sport, and � nd out the rules and how they play it, then I think they develop an interest in it, rather than ste-reotyping it or making all these false statements about it.”

Bosas said that as complicated and as silly as the sport can be, its demanding nature is no laughing matter. She has played against teams from across the country and has seen players go down with serious injuries, from deep scratch-es to broken bones. Bosas once took a blow from a broom, leaving her with a swollen black eye.

“I’m just saying, lacrosse players have protection and we de� nitely don’t. It’s just us and our brooms,” she said.

Student Shirley Johnson, who plays as keeper, said she likes to take it easy near the hoops she defends, but she is at the forefront of pro-moting the sport throughout New Mexico. Johnson’s foray into the sport be-gan seven years ago when she was approached to help organize a Harry Potter birthday party for her friend’s daughter.

“It had Quidditch, it had potions class, it had a basilisk piñata, it had a Sorting Hat and a quill fang, a class picture, everybody got a wand, I made butterbeer — I made everything,” Johnson said. “It was a day at Hogwarts, and the invitations were on parchment, and they said ‘Congratulations, you’ve been selected to attend a day at Hogwarts.’ I put together this party to end all parties.”

Brooms Up

After the party was over, Johnson said she packed up her Quidditch gear and never expected to use it again. But two years ago, she received an email linking to the International Quidditch Association’s website. She

started posting � iers to start a Quidditch team after no-ticing there were no registered teams from New Mexico, but with no luck. � at is, until she met Bosas and Kazmar two years later.

Kazmar said he had never played Quidditch before, but his love for Harry Potter drove him to start an o� -cial UNM team. Kazmar said that with Bosas’s experience with the game and Johnson’s ability to create equipment, he hopes the three can build a solid team.

UNM’s team is hoping to attend this year’s West by Southwest Interregional Showcase, a Quidditch tourna-ment held at Balloon Fiesta Park this November.

Although Kazmar said he was unsure how the team will do at this year’s tournament, he was glad he could help grow an athletic movement for kids not generally involved with sports.

“We want this to be a growing sport in New Mexico, especially because a lot of kids across the nation do get involved with this,” Kazmar said. “We’re big advocates for kids getting active in sports, getting out there and playing, so the kids who may not feel comfortable going out there for football and who love Harry Potter or want to play a fun game, we can at least get those kids involved.”

Quidditch is played on an oval fi eld called a “pitch” and fea-tures three towering hoops at each end of the fi eld. Each team is assigned a set of hoops to defend, and each team tries to at-tack the opposing team’s hoops. All players must hold a broom between their legs at all times. Each team has three chasers, two beaters, a keeper and a seeker.

The chasers are in charge of throwing the quaffl e — a partially defl ated volley-ball — through the opposing team’s hoops for 10 points.

The beaters set out to hit the other team’s players with bludgers — partially defl at-ed dodge balls — to “knock them off their brooms,” at which point the player must run to their home hoops be-fore returning to the fi eld.

The team’s keeper is in charge of protecting their team’s hoops, while the seeker is in charge of catch-ing the snitch — a cross country runner draped in a bright yellow uniform, with a ball in a sock wrapped around their belt. The fi rst team’s seeker to grab the sock scores the team 50 points and ends the match.

While the chasers and the beaters battle it out on the pitch, the snitch is allowed to leave the fi eld through-out the fi rst 15 minutes and hide in nearby trash cans and bushes. The snitch will often tease the seekers, squirting nearby players with squirt guns or doing fl ips on the fi eld.

Those interested in joining UNM’s Quidditch team can send the

group a message at its Facebook page, or follow the QR code.

Almost 1,000 Quidditch teams duel each other around the globe — including teams from Iran, Ar-gentina, Russia, Australia, China and the United States.

Almost every team listed with the International Quidditch Asso-ciation is affiliated with a college, and the list includes Harvard Uni-versity, National Taiwan University and the Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design.

Muggle Quidditch is a sport based on a fictional sport of the same name in J.K. Rowling’s best-selling Harry Potter series.

UNM’s team is just one in a college craze for the sport,

which began seven years ago in Middlebury, Vt.

Alex Benepe and Xander Manshel, at the time students at Middlebury College, said they were sick of traditional sports that didn’t allow for any creativity, according to ESPN. So they wrote up a 39-page rulebook and started a team, and other colleges soon followed suit.

The introduction to the rulebook reads “Quidditch is something that makes people undeniably happy. The childlike freedom that comes with playing and watching it is something unprecedented.”

In 2007, the Middlebury team hosted the first Intercollegiate Quidditch Association World Cup, which included teams that paid out

of pocket to fly from Washington State and Louisiana.

Benepe skipped class and didn’t hand in schoolwork in or-der to host the event. Many of the teams struggled to make it to the event, but after they were ranked among the “best in the world,” the teams said it will probably be easi-er to receive funding.

Searching for “Quidditch” on Facebook brings up more results than one can count, including a group called “You play Quidditch? Excuse me while I take my clothes off!” The Quidditch team names are just as creative, including the Zagreb Graphorns, the Wanganui Whomping Willows, the Briarcliff Nearly Headless Nicolas Cages and the NY Badassilisks.

Colleges catch Quidditch fever

Rail jam jump-starts winter

Bacon shortage ‘baloney’by Jim Suhr

The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS — Bacon lovers can relax. They’ll find all they want on supermarket shelves in the coming months, though their pocketbooks may take a hit.

The economics of the current drought are likely to nose up prices for bacon and other pork products next year, by as much as 10 percent. But U.S. agricultural economists are dismissing reports of a global bacon shortage that lent sizzle to headlines and Twitter feeds last week. Simply put, the talk of scarcity is hogwash.

“Use of the word ‘shortage’ caused visions of (1970s-style) gas-oline lines in a lot of people’s heads, and that’s not the case,” said Steve Meyer, president of Iowa-based Par-agon Economics and a consultant to the National Pork Producers Coun-cil and National Pork Board.

“If the definition of shortage is that you can’t find it on the shelves, then no, the concern is not valid. If the concern is higher cost for it, then yes.”

Fears about a scarcity of bacon swept across social and mainstream

media in recent weeks after Britain’s National Pig Association said a ba-con shortage was “unavoidable,” citing a sharp decline in the conti-nent’s pig herd and drought-inflat-ed feed costs. The report caused much consternation over a product that used to be merely a breakfast staple, but nowadays flavors every-thing from brownies to vodka.

The alarm was quickly dismissed by the American Farm Bureau Fed-eration as “baloney.”

“Pork supplies will decrease slightly as we go into 2013,” Farm Bureau economist John Anderson said. “But the idea that there’ll be widespread shortages, that we’ll run out of pork, that’s really overblown.”

On Monday, a spokesman for the British pork trade group main-tained its position that “there will be a significant tightening in the global pigmeat supply” in the second half of next year, because “the vast ma-jority of pig producers around the world are losing money on every pig they sell.”

“Given the huge amount of in-terest in the United States created by our earlier press release maybe more producers will now hang on

in production, in the hope of recov-ering their losses next year and in 2014,” Digby Scott told The Associ-ated Press in an email. “We agree with the view of some economists in the (United) States that supplies will tighten and prices will rise BUT maybe you won’t see ‘standing-in-line’ shortages in supermarkets. Time will tell.”

The stubborn drought in the U.S., the world’s biggest supplier of feed grains, undeniably will affect pig production. The Corn Belt’s lack of moisture twice has prompted the U.S. Agriculture Department to slash its forecast for this year’s corn output. The government now ex-pects U.S. production of the grain to amount to 10.8 billion bushels, the least since 2006.

Those lowered expectations sent prices of corn — also used in etha-nol, further squeezing supply — to record highs through much of the summer. Feed generally makes up about 60 percent of the expense of raising a pig. Rather than absorb the higher costs, swine and beef produc-ers often have culled their animals by sending them to slaughter.

Tony Gambino has a fever: a fever for snowboarding.

“If you’re a snowboarder, you kind of understand the passion that we have for the sport. It’s something that you live by,” he said. “There’s such a drive in you that you know when the season comes around, and you realize you’re about to start snowboarding, you get so excited, and it’s unexplainable to people who don’t experience it.”

Gambino is a previous win-ner of the Brain Freeze Rail Jam, an invitational skiing and snow-boarding competition scheduled for Friday evening. The fourth annual jam will be put on by NMX Sports at Sport Systems and is free to spectators.

“It’s the first rail jam of the season, and people are already just throwing down like crazy, and you know we’re pushing each other to try new tricks, and it’s just an all-around good time,” he said. “This event is a great spec-tator event. If you haven’t seen the stuff that some of these guys and myself are capable of, it’s su-per impressive.”

Sport Systems owner Duane Kinsley said the event usually

attracts more than 1,000 people. Free shuttle rides from surrounding parking lots will be provided because of a lack of parking.

The event is part of the Ava-lanche Snow Show, and Kinsley said many of the regional ski re-sorts will sell discounted student tickets with a student ID and proof of enrollment. He said it gets New Mexico residents acquainted with the winter sports scene.

“People just driving up Mont-gomery are like ‘What is going on?’ It’s a huge, huge event,” he said.

Eddie Vargas has been the di-rector of NMX Sports for three years and began volunteering there in 2005. Vargas said it’s im-portant to encourage people to get exercise and to encourage youth to get involved in sports programs. He said Brain Freeze originally coincided with the an-nual ski swap held at New Mex-ico Expo. When NMX Sports got its start, the organization began to hold the show along with the swap and partnered with New Mexico’s ski areas.

Vargas said organizers look for a distinct style of athlete to participate in the invitational competition.

“We look for somebody that

has a technical style, can go big, is consistent and isn’t going to be afraid to go all out on the first contest of the season,” he said. “That’s another big thing, too: Be-ing that it’s the first contest of the season and it’s not necessarily on a mountain, a lot of people shy away from it because they don’t want to get hurt and ruin their whole snowboard/ski season.”

Vargas said the New Mexico snowboarding community is a small group of people who have to take advantage of the state’s short winters, but have a lot of great mountains at their disposal.

“It’s a laid-back crowd — a real organic community, I guess you could say — people transcend all generations, age groups, social realms, I guess, to come togeth-er,” he said. “You kind of forget it all when you’re up on the moun-tain; that’s the great equalizer.”
