LA blasted in first round of...

ALBUQUERQUE — If the first round of the Joe Armijo Classic is any indication of how the rest of the tournament will go for Los Alamos’ boys basketball team, it’s going to be a rough trip.
The Hilltoppers were roughed up by the Albuquerque High Bulldogs Thursday afternoon in the opening round of the tournament, hosted by Albuquerque Academy.
Los Alamos managed just single-digit offensive outputs in three of the four quarters and couldn’t do much to stop the transition game of the Bulldogs, who dominated the contest and won going away, 71-37.
Los Alamos turned over the ball 12 times in the middle quarters and almost all of those turnovers were cashed in on the other end by Albuquerque.
Gabe Bump, a sophomore guard for the Bulldogs, cherry-picked his way to 10 steals in Thursday’s game. Bump read Los Alamos’ passing like an open book, stepping directly in front of passing lanes in the backcourt.
He finished with a game-high 21 points.
Bump set the tone early on, scoring 8 points in the first quarter and assisting Albuquerque big man Jared Blea on another fast break chance.
The only quarter Los Alamos could get much going on offense was the first. Hilltopper wing Skyler Veenis had 10 of his team-high 14 points in the first quarter, hitting on 4 of 5 chances from the floor.

UNM program benefits students,...

When the time came for Albuquerque’s Bosque School to write a three- to five-year strategic plan, it was only natural that the progressive private school would choose to work with students from another innovative environment — the Small Business Institute of the University of New Mexico’s Anderson School of Management.
“We’re an institution that focuses on thinking outside the norm,” said William Handmaker, head of school at Bosque, where students in grades sixth to 12 prepare for higher education. “Instead of going the regular route, here was the chance to work with UNM.”
The “regular route” for most small businesses is to hire a management consultant at a cost of thousands of dollars. The SBI assigned three students to work with Bosque School for $500.
Critical feedback
Handmaker heard about the program from a member of the school’s board of directors who had experience with SBI while studying at the University of New Mexico. After hearing a pitch from an SBI representative, the board signed a letter of engagement — which ensures confidentiality, among other things — and started working with two grad students and one undergrad, Tyler Briggs, in September.

Torturing the tip of one's...

I thought a thought. But the thought I thought wasn’t the thought I thought I thought. If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought, I wouldn’t have thought so much.
Or so I thought.
Tongue twisters. We learn them as children and love (or hate) them as adults.
Nov. 9 was International Tongue Twister Day. With all the strife in this world, we hardly need a day set aside to twist tongues, but it’s nice to know that other nations are as inept at speaking their own languages as we are with English.
Most foreign tongue twisters don’t translate well, but some German Zungenbrechers (meaning ‘tongue breaker’) are as difficult to say in English as they are in German. “Fischers Fritz fischt frische Fische, frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritz” translates as “Fisher’s Fritz fishes fresh fish, fresh fish are fished by fisher’s Fritz.”
Actually, I never learned German (although some of my friends in graduate school taught me some good curse phrases), I can see (or hear) the attraction. Consider the verbal vortex “The fat roofer roofed the thick roof. Then the fat roofer carried the fat lady through the thick mud.”
Yeah, not really that much fun to say. But in German, it’s der dicke delightful!
