The once-defeated Firearms Transfer Act has returned to ac-tive debate in the Legislature after it was revised to focus exclusively on gun shows.
The first version of House Bill 77, which aimed to increase re-strictions on firearms purchased in New Mexico, stalled in the House two weeks ago after its provisions were deemed over-broad and excessively restrictive by a fiscal impact report.
The amended HB 77, spon-sored by Rep. Miguel Garcia (D-Albuquerque), passed through the House Judiciary Committee on Friday night, 13-3. It is slated to be debated by the full House on Wednesday.
In addition to narrowing the legal focus to gun shows, the re-vision scraps the proposed New Mexico-specific legal definitions for who may or may not possess a firearm and instead relies on the federal legal standard, the Brady Act.
The first draft of HB 77 contained two provisions: denying people a firearm if they are under 18 years of age or if they
are prohibited from purchasing or possessing a firearm under federal law.
The revision adds several pro-visions regarding gun sales at gun shows that are present in federal but not state law.
In the revision, non-federally licensed firearms dealers may not transfer firearms to non-federal-ly licensed buyers or buyers who don’t have a New Mexico con-cealed handgun carry permit, un-less the transfer is overseen by a federally licensed dealer. The li-censed dealer is then responsi-ble for stopping the transfer if the subsequent background check re-veals the buyer is prohibited from firearm possession.
It also provides background-check exemptions for buyers purchasing “antique or relic firearms.”
The revision also makes it a misdemeanor to transfer a fire-arm to an unlicensed buyer or to a person known to be prohibited from possessing a firearm, and makes it a petty misdemeanor for an organizer of a gun show to fail to arrange for one or more fed-erally licensed firearms dealers to be on the premises during the show.
Finally, it establishes the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Back-ground Check System as the sys-tem used to verify prospective
purchasers’ eligibility and elimi-nates the creation of a New Mex-ico criminal background check system proposed in the original bill.
In Senate news, UNM Medical School faculty could see their pay rise and the UNM Health Scienc-es Center could get the resources to support additional nursing stu-dents if the two bills proposing such measures pass.
On Friday, Senate Bill 53, “Re-tain UNM Medical School Fac-ulty,” and Senate Bill 57, “UNM Health Center Nursing Enroll-ment”, both sponsored by Sen. Sue Wilson Beffort (R-Sandia Park), passed unanimously through the Senate Education Commit-tee. Both bills are scheduled to be heard next in the Senate Finance Committee, hearing date to be determined.
SB 53 would appropriate $1.3 million to raise UNM Medical School faculty salaries to meet the national average. According to the fiscal impact report, re-cently hired faculty members are paid more than long-time fac-ulty. A cited report released last year by the Association of Ameri-can Medical Colleges showed that UNM Medical School faculty sala-ries are “well below” the national average. The appropriation would allow faculty salaries to rise to

� e Department of Justice heard residents’ complaints about the Albuquerque Police Depart-ment’s use of force during an open forum Monday night as part of the DOJ’s investigation into APD.
Luis Saucedo, acting deputy chief of the Special Litigation Unit of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, said the division is conducting the investigation with the U.S. At-torney’s O� ce. He said the DOJ launched the investigation follow-ing a number of shootings by APD o� cers during the past two years. He said it is the District Attorney’s duty to prosecute o� cers who have committed o� enses. � e in-vestigation will explore the use of unreasonable force by police. � e forum was the � rst of many in the DOJ’s investigation, he said.
“You can prosecute individ-ual o� cers, but the underlying problems are more ingrained,” he said. “We have to diagnose what might be causing or contributing to that.”
Saucedo said the Civil Rights Division is authorized to investigate police departments nationwide, and APD agreed to
participate in the investigation. Saucedo said the division will
examine APD o� cers’ training and the number of supervisors who monitor o� cers’ use of physi-cal force in the � eld.
“We’re not just going to sit back in D.C. and review policies,” he said.
� e investigation began in No-vember and should take about a
year to complete. Saucedo said the division will only comment on APD’s operations after it � nishes the investigation.
About 100 people attended the forum to voice their complaints about APD.
Albuquerque resident Kathy Fuentes said that � ve years ago, police shot her son seven times in her home. She said that although private investigators did not see any proof that her son, who was 39
at the time, owned guns, APD of-� cers insisted that he threatened police with a � rearm and that’s why o� cers shot him.
“We had three sons, and the � rst two had passed away. And APD took away the only son we had who was doing a wonderful job taking care of his kids,” she said.
Fuentes said she and her fam-ily tried to sue APD, and that they hired a private investigator, but she said their e� orts have left the family bankrupt.
“My grandson was six months of age, and my granddaughter was 11 years of age,” she said. “It has really a� ected her in all her abili-ties … and she’s taking it really hard. She really loved her dad. She said there will never be a dad that will take his place.”
Silvio Dell’Angela, who was president of the Eisenhower Area Neighborhood Association in the Northeast Heights for 10 years, said he witnessed APD’s abuse of force during his term. He said about 25 APD o� cers respond-ed to a call about his neighbor’s house and were able to force the neighbor out of his house.
“So he � nally came out of the house, essentially surrendering, and they shot him on the drive-way, and he was still alive, and they shot him four more times and killed,” he said. “And they dragged
his whole body.”Paul Heh, a former APD o� cer
for 25 years, said the investigation shouldn’t focus on just the police’s abusive use of force.
“� e bigger problem is the cul-ture of corruption that starts with the top. � e DOJ’s got to open ev-ery door,” he said.
Heh said that as a former o� -cer, he has always spoken up about the department’s o� enses. But he said it is unlikely other o� cers will speak out against APD.
“Everybody’s afraid to open their mouth, because if you open your mouth in APD, you get target-ed,” he said. “If you get targeted, they send their hit squad, Internal A� airs, to get something on you.”
Saucedo said the open forums
are an important part of his team’s investigation. He urged people who have grievances against APD to contact the DOJ directly.

Forty-two years after plans were set in motion, a Chicana and Chica-no Studies major exists at UNM.
Chicana Studies student Olivia Romo said this is an important step for her and the University.
“Being from Taos and being from a very rural community was di� cult to make it. When I got here, this pro-gram really embraced me and kind of helped me � gure out my profes-sion and my goals for the future. � is degree is going to help pro-vide me with a career,” Romo said.A unanimous vote at Monday’s Board of Regents meeting was the � nal step in creating the major. Cheers could be heard from outside the SUB ballroom after the proposal was approved.
“� is is a historic moment and I feel very empowered to be one of the � rst to graduate from UNM with a major in Chicana Studies,” Romo said.
� e regents also approved cer-ti� cates in transnational Chicano studies and in New Mexico cultur-al landscapes. � e certi� cates each
require 15 credit hours of relevant courses in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Regents also discussed dwindling Lottery Scholarship funds, which are projected to run out this July. ASUNM President Caroline Muraida urged regents away from what she called the “butcher’s cleaver” approach of broad funding cuts, and stressed what she called a “scalpel” approach. Muraida said o� cials should re-eval-uate the terms of the Lottery Scholar-ship by taking student income levels into consideration.
� e scholarship awards full tu-ition for all students from New Mex-ico and the award is based on the student’s ability to maintain a cumu-lative GPA of 2.5 and take 12 credit hours per semester, among other restrictions.
“� e percentage of award will be based on your ability to pay. If you are high income you will receive less than low-income students,” Muraida said. “We’re pushing for both a merit and needs-based approach.”
Members of the board said that it may take about a year to work out all of the issues with the Lottery Scholarship.
Regents also discussed UNM 2020, a four-part initiative to

modernize UNM for the 21st century. According to the meeting agenda, the four parts of UNM 2020 include setting objectives for the University to meet by 2020; creating meaningful, measurable goals for those objectives; making sure resources are available to accomplish those objectives; and ensuring additional growth is possible beyond these set goals.
At the meeting, regents set up seven goals for UNM 2020, includ-ing jumpstarting local economic development, increasing research at the University, using UNM to en-hance public health in New Mexico and working to prepare graduates for “lifelong success.” Regents said
they will reconsider these goals again in March when voting on a � -nal draft of the proposal.
� e regents also approved an expansion of the lease of the building that houses the Con� gu-rable Space Microsystems Inno-vations and Application Center (COSMIAC), an aerospace and defense-research center working with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
� e expansion to the lease of building would add more than2700 square feet to the build-ing’s current 7800 square feet. � e cost for the lease, including this expansion, would be $117,543 for FY 2014, and would come out of
the appropriations to UNM Insti-tutional and General funding.
� e board also approved the � rst of three phases for the McK-innon Family Tennis Center at the south campus Athletics Complex. � e � rst phase will include con-struction of six of these courts. � e project will ultimately consist of a clubhouse, 12 playing courts and associated infrastructure. All three phases of the project will cost $1.2 million and are funded by private donations. As of now, the complex has seven outdoor courts, fewer than the required number needed to host Mountain West Conference tennis championships.
within the top 25th percentile of salaries on the AAMC scale.
SB 57 seeks to increase the number students who graduate from the UNM family nurse prac-titioner program by appropriating $2.8 million to expand that nurs-ing program. The fiscal impact report for the bill states the pro-gram regularly turns down quali-fied applicants due to a lack of re-sources to support more students. The additional funding would al-low the program to support 24 students for academic year 2013-2014, and 48 total students for ac-ademic year 2014-2015, up from the 10 students for academic year 2012-2013.

NEW YORK — Add those cute little hedgehogs to the list of pets that can make you sick.
In the last year, 20 people were infected by a rare but dangerous form of salmonella bacteria, and one person died in January. The ill-nesses were linked to contact with hedgehogs kept as pets, according to a report released Jan. 31 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Health officials say such cases seem to be increasing.
The CDC recommends thor-oughly washing your hands after
handling hedgehogs and clean-ing pet cages and other equipment outside.
Other pets that carry the sal-monella bug are frogs, toads, tur-tles, snakes, lizards, chicks and ducklings.
Seven of the hedgehog illnesses were in Washington state, includ-ing the death — an elderly man from Spokane County who died in January. The other cases were in Al-abama, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Oregon.
In years past, only one or two ill-nesses from this salmonella strain have been reported annually, but the numbers rose to 14 in 2011, 18 last year, and two so far this year.
Children younger than five and the elderly are considered at high-est risk for severe illness, CDC offi-cials said.
Hedgehogs are small, insect-eating mammals with a coat of stiff quills. In nature, they some-times live under hedges and de-fend themselves by rolling up into a spiky ball.
The critters linked to recent ill-nesses were purchased from vari-ous breeders, many of them li-censed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, CDC officials said. Hedgehogs are native to Western Europe, New Zealand and some other parts of the world, but are bred in the United States.

An increasing number of shooting ram-pages are being committed by individu-als under the influence of or withdrawing from prescription drugs that are known to cause mania, psychosis and even homicide in some patients.
Colorado authorities confirmed James Holmes had received psychiatric care at the University of Colorado for undisclosed issues before donning combat gear and al-legedly opening fire inside a packed movie theater on July 20 in Aurora, Colo. It seems likely he was given some kind of prescrip-tion medication as part of his treatment. Who knows what cocktail of drugs Holm-es was on when he committed his horrible crime? It will be interesting to see if any of this comes out in court. We’ll probably never find out.
Sandy Hook Elementary School shooter Adam Lanza was on some kind of medica-tion during his short life, his family mem-bers said. They admitted Lanza was being treated for symptoms related to autism. It’s logical to assume he was taking something for anxiety or depression as well. Unfortu-nately, we’ll never know what other symp-toms he was being treated for when he gunned down 26 people and his mother.
Prescriptions for antidepressants and other psychotropic drugs have risen sharp-ly over the past 20 years, especially among young people. But many so-called antide-pressants and anti-anxiety remedies can have serious side effects. Antidepressants are not a miracle cure. They’re certainly not going to help everybody. The New Eng-land Journal of Medicine reported 25 to 50 percent of college students who seek coun-seling for depression are already taking antidepressants.
Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors increase levels of serotonin circulating in the brain. SSRIs, such as Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft, have the potential for serious side effects, including suicidal thoughts and restlessness.
I speak from my personal experiences and those of my family and friends when I say these drugs don’t necessarily work for everyone. Sometimes they can make the
problem worse. On the other hand, a lot of folks I know swear by them and claim that antidepressants have positively trans-formed their lives. I have no argument with these people whatsoever. I’m all for the proper use of drugs. Heck, my daddy was a pharmacist. I certainly don’t believe you are “taking the easy way out” or “numbing yourself” if medication works for you.
People react skeptically when I tell them about my insomnia; if only I did yoga, ate better or took a healthier approach to life, I wouldn’t need to contaminate my body with toxic drugs, they say.
My intent is not to make sweeping gen-eralizations that antidepressants are bad. I encourage everybody to get all the help they need.
My gripe is with the medical profes-sionals who are too lazy or negligent to do their own research into the potentially hazardous side effects of these drugs, and their willingness to prescribe them to vir-tually anyone who shows up in their office with the mildest case of depression. A lot of doctors are nothing more than glorified drug reps.
Eric Harris was reportedly taking the antidepressant Luvox at the time he and Dylan Klebold opened fire at Columbine High School. They killed 12 students and a teacher and wounded 24 others before kill-ing themselves.
It’s been 14 years since that shooting rampage in Columbine, Colo. Since then, millions more young people have been legally prescribed all kinds of potentially harmful drugs. I think we are just now be-ginning to see some of the consequences. I’ve heard stories of children as young as 4 years old being prescribed hard drugs such as Ritalin and Adderall.
Am I the only concerned citizen who
wants to know how many and what kind of legal drugs the shooters were on when they killed all those people? The mainstream media’s silence on this matter is deafening. Why is it such a taboo subject? The men-tal state of the killers is at the center of the gun control debate. Prescription drugs are highly relevant to this discussion.
Luvox, Paxil, Zoloft, etc., are all SSRIs. FDA warnings for these medications in-clude anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, in-somnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, mania and psychosis. A survey conduct-ed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed antidepressants are the third most prescribed drugs in Ameri-ca. Antidepressants are also the most com-monly prescribed drugs among college students.
Anti-anxiety pills, such as Valium and Nembutal, were used effectively for many years, but until the arrival of new drugs such as Prozac, they weren’t nearly as pop-ular, due to their side effects.
Considering the sorry state of mental health services in America today, it’s a mir-acle we don’t have more mass shootings. Mental health is clearly a serious issue for millions of Americans. In an era of dwin-dling resources, the problem has been put on the back burner for way too long.
Lack of access to mental health care is a legitimate concern in the U.S., but so is the quality of the care given to patients who are actually able to afford and receive help for mental conditions, like Holmes and Lanza, for instance.
The suicide rate among military per-sonnel has reached epidemic proportions. Incredibly, suicides outstripped the num-ber of combat deaths in Afghanistan for the first time in 2012. Antidepressants and an-tipsychotics are all widely used in the mil-itary, and not just to treat post-traumatic stress disorder.
The huge increase in military suicides and the overall suicide and homicide rate in the general population can arguably be attributed to the advent of direct-to-con-sumer drug advertising, which began in the mid-1980s. Drugs such as Prozac and Zoloft weren’t even available until the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. In the last two decades, the U.S. has seen a proliferation of pre-scription drug use and abuse. This situa-tion is directly related to the irresponsible
advertising and political lobbying efforts of the pharmaceutical conglomerates, collec-tively known as Big Pharma.
Big Pharma includes some of the larg-est corporations in America: Pfizer, Roche, Merck and Eli Lilly. It’s one of the biggest lobbying groups in D.C. Many politicians and prominent military psychiatrists are consultants to Big Pharma, shamelessly endorsing the drugs pharmaceutical com-panies pay them to promote.
Big Pharma spends billions of dollars every year on direct-to-consumer market-ing, and they’ve turned their products into household names: Viagra, Xanax, Lunesta, Ambien, Lipitor, etc. Big Pharma actual-ly spends more on advertising campaigns and marketing than they do on research and development of new products — near-ly twice as much, according to a study by Marc-André Gagnon and Joel Lexchin pub-lished in 2008.
The U.S. and New Zealand are the only nations that allow direct-to-consumer ad-vertising by pharmaceutical companies. Big Pharma spent about $60 billion on marketing in 2011. Of that, $14 billion was spent on marketing to doctors who write the prescriptions, and $4 billion was spent on direct-to-consumer advertising. Amer-icans are so used to taking psychoactive drugs for minor problems that we don’t even think about it anymore. Perhaps we should.
Our love affair with prescription med-ications is shifting the focus of the U.S. health care system away from treating and curing into numbing and drugging. It’s re-ally time for us to “Just Say No” to drugs.
Editor,
From Rio Grande del Norte to Otero Mesa, we all have our favorite places that make New Mexico what it is. With so many special places to enjoy outdoors, I am not surprised that, according to a recent Colorado College poll, two-thirds of us in New Mexico consider ourselves conservationists, and more than 90 percent of us are concerned about the water in our state’s rivers.
Unfortunately, many of our parks, forests and open spaces in New Mexico are at risk from overdevelop-ment and pollution from increased mining and drill-ing. President Obama has the opportunity to slow this trend and preserve one of our most special places in the state by designating Rio Grande del Norte a nation-al monument, which will permanently protect the area from development.
Rio Grande del Norte is a spectacular example of all the things we love about New Mexico: incredible diversity and abundance of wildlife, majestic mountains and the meandering Rio Grande. It is one of the reasons a majority of New Mexicans agree that our public lands enhance our quality of life. It is up to our generation to permanently protect the parks, forests and special places we love, thereby giving our children the opportunity to enjoy them as much as we do.

Anton Chekhov is one of the big, bad playwrights — the ones with the proper names that swing around some weight. He’s part of a stagger-ing pantheon of old, white names that make people tut knowingly and nod whenever they’re mentioned.
What doesn’t help his writing much is that translation from Russian into English tends to leave it stark and unnatural.
Chekhov is supposed to be a dis-sector of life, a writer who sought to portray human and universal truth. Yet there is something about the stilt-ed language of his translation that rings false, with curious word choice often slapping you in the face like an unexpected fish. It causes all the characters’ individual voices to bleed together, making them all sound like the same mincing, overblown wind-bag. The natural rhythm of speech is lost somewhere in translation.
In The Vortex Theatre’s produc-tion of Chekhov’s “The Seagull,” it seems it’s the actors’ burden to make themselves sound alive. Charles Fish-er accomplishes this swimmingly: Not a single line gets away from him. Jennifer Loli, although her part is rel-atively small, has a natural ease that makes her believable and enjoyable to watch.
But the cast is large and the over-whelming majority of the charac-ters are indistinct. The play is nebu-lous, and the many relationships and crossed social wires are vague and dif-ficult to identify. This distracts heavily from the drama and intrigue of the play. Even the exposition-heavy final act — during which the play jumps two years ahead and attempts to ex-plain everything that’s happened — and the strangely redundant final line of the play make the overall writing seem clumsy and puzzled.
Essentially, “The Seagull” comes down to four characters: two couples. Konstantin, played by Paul Hunton, is a young, angsty writer and lover of the ingenue actress Nina, played by Amanda Machon. Konstantin’s mother Arkadina, an aged actress who cares little for her son, is played by Yolonda Maria Knight. Arkadina’s lover Trigorin, an older writer with an esteemed reputation, is played by Mark Hisler. Nina leaves Konstantin for the much more enticing and con-siderably older Trigorin, who beds her and impregnates her with a child who dies rather quickly. Nina returns suddenly to Konstantin and tells him of her broken life, after which he kills himself.
Chekhov called it a comedy.Setting seems rather important to
‘Seagull’ feels stilted, confined
the piece, but the minimalist staging added more to the haziness of the on-going action.
“The Seagull” is performed in the theater-in-the-round manner, in which the audience surrounds the stage on four sides. This is supposed to create an intimate atmosphere, but somehow it serves to alienate the au-dience from the actors. There is almost no set or backdrop to imply location. The costumes are simple: suits and ties and dresses. The actors are often hard to hear. You could make connec-tions between the claustrophobia felt by the characters and the enclosed setup of the audience, but the inti-macy is somehow lost. It makes you wonder if the drama would have been more powerful if you’d had a different seat.
Of the four principle characters, the women prove to be more compel-ling and interesting, even if I wanted to find some way to identify with the writer characters. Normally, there can be much insight in writing that directly discusses writing, but here there was not much humanity. The men lack charisma and their deliveries fall flat. Machon’s portrayal of Nina’s crushing fall is heartfelt and emotional, but the overall conflict and drama is difficult to care about or be invested in.
With plot and character prepara-tion and the proper seat, there’s no reason why the play shouldn’t pull at your heartstrings. There are even bits to laugh at as well. Chekhov provides much — as long as you have the pal-ate and appetite to digest it.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Want to name Pluto’s two tiniest moons? �en you’ll need to dig deep into mythology.
Astronomers announced a contest Monday to name the two itty-bitty moons of Pluto discovered over the past two years.
Pluto is the Roman equivalent of the Greek’s Hades, lord of the un-derworld, and its three bigger moons have related mythological names: Charon, the ferryman of Hades; Nix for the night goddess; and the multi-headed monster Hydra.
�e two unnamed moons — no more than 15 to 20 miles across — need similarly shady references. Right now, they go by the bland titles of P4 and P5.
Online voting will last two weeks,
ending Feb. 25. Twelve choices are available at PlutoRocks.com.
Among the choices are Hercules, the hero who slew Hydra; Obol, the coin put in the mouths of the dead as payment to Charon; Cerberus, the three-headed dog guarding the gates of the underworld; Orpheus, the mu-sician and poet who used his talents to get his wife, Eurydice, out of the un-derworld only to lose her by looking back; Eurydice; and Styx, the river to the underworld.
As of Monday afternoon, Styx and Cerberus were leading. �e vote tally is updated hourly.
“�e Greeks were great storytell-ers, and they have given us a colorful cast of characters to work with,” said Mark Showalter, senior research sci-entist at SETI Institute’s Carl Sagan Center in Mountain View, Calif.
He and other astronomers who discovered the two minimoons using
the Hubble Space Telescope will make the winning selections.
Write-in name suggestions are welcome, but they need to come from Greek or Roman mythology and deal with the underworld.
�e name for the planetoid, or dwarf planet near the outer fringes of the solar system, came from a little English girl. Pluto’s discoverer, Clyde Tombaugh, liked that the �rst two let-ters were the same as the initials of late American astronomer Percival Lowell. Tombaugh discovered Pluto in 1930 using the Lowell Observatory in Flagsta�, Ariz.
NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is en route to Pluto, set to arrive in 2015 on the �rst robotic �yby ever of the planetoid.
�e winning moon names will need �nal approval by the Interna-tional Astronomical Union.
