The term “natural product” might sound more likely to be associated with a new organic diet or retail fad, but to scien-tists it is a term corresponding to clinically prescribed drugs used for decades. Representing many past and present medicines used to fight infections, some natural products are nature-made anti-biotics. The trick is finding them.
In the Department of Chemis-try and Chemical Biology, the lab of Assistant Professor Dr. Charles Melancon has engineered a po-tential new screening process for the characterization of these an-ti-bacterial drugs.

Melancon and his lab work with a mutated version of E. coli that produces a protein that glows green, he said.
“To this E. coli we added a mutated ribosome that, under normal circum-stances, specifically makes a protein that shuts off the green fluorescence,” he said. “However, if the E. coli is treated with an antibiotic that blocks ribosome function, it will be unable to make the protein that turns off the cell’s fluorescence and the E. coli will glow.”
� e system developed by Melancon and his students has several advantages over typical screening processes, Huang said.
“Our system can not only sense the molecule but also study its inhibition mechanisms,” Huang said. “Besides, our system is a whole cell sensor, which pro-vides an authentic environment for the
drug to bind and react.”Huang said he has been working on
this project for two and a half years, at first with little success.
“It was hard for me at the beginning and we almost thought it would not work out and [were] ready to give up [on] the project at a time. It was lucky for us to overcome the bottleneck and eventually make the system work,” said Huang. “It is fun for me to build different synthet-ic gene circuits and put them together to make the cell behave as we want.”
Melancon expressed a similar enthu-siasm for hijacking and programming normal cell function.
“I have always been interested in making sensors for things,” Melancon said. “We do it all using engineered cells. I find it really gratifying to be able to pro-
gram cells to do useful things.”Melancon and his lab, in addition to
the development of this system, have a hand in nearly every aspect of natural product investigation from developing software to screen large databases for new drugs to sequencing samples taken from microbes living deep in the caves of southern New Mexico, he said.
“Projects going on in our lab are promising, not only due to the academic significance in natural product pathway studies, also because we are studying is-sues related to practical pharmaceutical production,” Zhu said.

actually took all of those units and moved them down into our one time bene� ciaries,” she said.
She said SFRB has two budgets.“There is the recurring budget and
the roll over money from last year that is considered one time,” she said.
The SFRB decided to consider all of the pilot programs and fund them through a one time process, she said. The board has also recommended a de-crease in funding of those units that have reserved funds.
The Global Education Office and Stu-dent Health and Counseling would have received funding but SFRB just recent-ly recommended a slight decrease to its funding, she said.
“It was brought to our attention by the Budget Leadership Team that some units have reserve funds that could potential-ly be packed into,” she said. “The Budget Leadership Team had suggested that we look into our reserve until we get out of this sticky situation.”
The units that were brought to their attention that had reserved funds were SHAC and GEO, she said. The board has recommended a reduction of $19,200 in the funding of GEO for fiscal year 2016. Initially the board recommended an in-crease of $24,389 in the funding of GEO.
“SFRB currently recommends fund-ing GEO at $49,864 a reduction of $19,200 with excess funds up to $58,500 to be funded out of GEO’s reserves,” according the report.
SRFB would want to fund all of these units because they are such worthy pro-grams or units, Williams said.
“In looking at the percentage increase and then after having talked to the bud-get leadership team, we had to get it down and we had to start making those really difficult decisions,” she said.

SANTA FE (AP) — New Mexi-co is undoubtedly dealing with a dire situation caused by the persis-tent drought, and there’s no telling when conditions will improve, re-searchers from universities around the state said Tuesday.
The task force of experts from New Mexico State University, the University of New Mexico and New Mexico Tech delivered their preliminary findings on the vul-nerability of the state’s water sup-plies during an interim legislative meeting.
UNM professor and climate expert David Gutzler said the cur-
rent drought hasn’t been as bad as the record-setting dry condi-tions of the 1950s. However, he said recovering from the present drought could end up being more difficult due to warmer tempera-tures and back-to-back years of dismal snowpack.
“Snowpack has declined as that temperature curve goes up. That’s not a worry, that’s reality,” he said. “There is expectation that with the same amount of precipitation fall-ing out of the sky, we’ll have less water flowing down the rivers be-cause of evaporation.”
The result so far has been dry-ing rivers, shrinking reservoirs and stressed cities and farmers.
Funded by the Legislature earlier this year, the task force is looking at supply and demand trends, particularly along the Rio Grande in southern New Mexico, as well as the implications the drought could have for agriculture and other industries in New Mexico.
Lawmakers said Tuesday they want to know more about what effects the drought could have on New Mexico’s economy and its ability to maintain its farms and ranches and attract new business.
According to the researchers, the drought of the 1950s came at a time when the state’s economy shifted from agriculture as a driv-
ing force to service sector jobs.Now there are more small farms
in southern New Mexico and pro-duction has shifted toward per-manent crops such as pecans that require a long-term water supply. Those kinds of crops make it more difficult for farmers to stop water-ing in times of severe shortages, the researchers said.
Around 80 percent of the state’s water goes to agricultural use, but Sen. Joe Cervantes, D-Las Cru-ces, cautioned his fellow lawmak-ers against targeting farmers as they search for solutions to stretch supplies.
“Our efficiencies have become enormous,” he said. “We’re making
more food than ever on less and less resources.”
The researchers said drought is an endemic feature of New Mexi-co’s arid climate and that all past droughts came to an end at some point. But they can’t forecast when the current dry conditions will ease up.
“It could get worse based on a perusal of the historic record, but there is some limited hope that maybe there’s a beginning of drought demise on the near-term horizon,” Gutzler said. “We will be watching that very closely.”

Task force says water supplies are at risk

PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (AP) — Four of the remaining nine USS Arizona survivors of the Pearl Har-bor attack are vowing this year’s anniversary won’t be their last reunion.
The men in their 90s gathered for a news conference Tuesday in a building overlooking a memo-rial for the Arizona, a battleship that sank in the Dec. 7, 1941 at-tack. Even though it’s the last offi-cial survivor gathering of the USS Arizona Reunion Association, the men said they still plan to get to-
gether, even if not in Hawaii.“The good Lord saved just a
few of us,” said Donald Stratton, 92, of Colorado Springs, Colora-do. He was one of few survivors of a gun director in the forward part of the ship. More than 65 percent of his body was burned. Stratton was hospitalized for more than year and then was medically dis-charged from the Navy. He then reenlisted a year later.
Sunday marks the 73rd anni-versary of the Japanese attack that killed roughly 2,400 sailors, Ma-rines and soldiers. During a pri-vate ceremony Sunday, the four
men will toast their shipmates, drinking from replicas of cham-pagne glasses from the Arizona. They will share a bottle of spar-kling wine that was a gift to the survivors association from Presi-dent Gerald Ford’s visit to Spain in 1975.
The men arrived at the Pearl Harbor visitor center on Tuesday to military salutes, music from the U.S. Navy Pacific Fleet Band and photos from tourists. At the news conference, they reminisced about memories of the attack.
“I learned something about faith,” said John Anderson, 97,
of Roswell, New Mexico, re-calling that he had just gone to church services and was head-ing to breakfast when someone said they saw the planes coming. He became teary-eyed as he dis-cussed his twin brother dying in the attack.
“It’s always like yesterday when we’re out here,” said Louis Conter, 93, of Grass Valley, California.
The survivors on Tuesday also watched a live-feed of a dive through the sunken battleship. Ashes of 38 survivors are interred there.
National Park Service Histo-
rian Daniel Martinez, moderat-ing Tuesday’s discussion, seemed overcome with emotion when he announced that Arizona survivor Lauren Bruner last year signed pa-perwork for his intentions to be interred there. Conter plans to do the same, he said. Stratton joked that after nearly burning to death in the attack, he doesn’t like the idea of cremation.
“You don’t want them to go,” Martinez said after the news conference.

Got a problem with the WisePies Are-na name for UNM’s basketball venue? Get used to it. If this deal runs through the length of the agreement, the fedora-clad logo will be on the building for the next 10 years.
Don’t forget the key fact in all this: UNM will receive $5 million over the life of the contract. This is a good deal for the men’s and women’s programs, the Athlet-ics Department and the University as a whole.
Aside from the whole use of “aka” in the name, that is. It should be: WisePies Arena at the Pit rather than WisePies Arena aka The Pit. That being said, let’s move on.
The Pit name has always been a collo-quial one. The official name for the build-ing has been University Arena for quite some time. What UNM did was change the name from University Arena to WisePies Arena. The Pit has not and will not go away. The new name (aka aside) still recognizes The Pit in its title, and fans will continue to call it The Pit regardless which corporate sponsor UNM partnered with.
UNM’s pursuit for a partner to brand University Arena has been in the works for quite a while, so Monday’s announce-ment does not come as a surprise. The Athletics Department needs to pay back the loan it took for the extensive renova-tions made to the building and add funds for its general operations.
The department receives constant crit-icism for the money it spends, from the upgrades to a football facility for a strug-gling team to giving a pay raise to a coach with only one year’s head coaching ex-perience. Rightly or wrongly, that’s how many people on campus and elsewhere peg on Athletics: it spends too much money that could be better used for other campus needs.
If that’s the case — if the Athletics De-partment does nothing but hemorrhage money — then how can it be faulted for accepting a financial gift worth so much to help its budgetary situation? It is not cheap to run an NCAA Division I athletics program, so are we to turn down the sixth-largest donation in University history?
The one concern Lobo fans should have in this deal is the fact that WisePies is a brand new restaurant, having only been in business since January. There are no guarantees a business will succeed over time, but there is also no guarantee a business will fail, either. There will be a certain segment of the Lobo fan base that will frequent WisePies now just because they made this deal with the school. Sup-porting the supporter, in essence.
Even if, hypothetically, something happens and this deal falls apart be-fore it ends, it still shouldn’t be an issue.
The Pit’s new name changes nothing
The way this deal is structured, WisePies will make annual donations starting with $100,000 on Monday. Another $100,000 will be made next Dec. 31 with $600,000 annually through the remainder of the deal until 2023. If the deal is terminated after the first two years, that’s still $200,000 that UNM will receive.
Any way you cut it, this partnership
between UNM and WisePies Pizza and Salad just makes sense. UNM needs the money for its Athletics Department, and it found a locally owned company to assist them financially. Sure, a certain segment of Lobo fans will be upset with the name change, but it will still be known as The Pit. The publicly accepted name to the state’s most iconic sports arena remains. It just
has an additional name attached to it.But one thing, UNM: please reconsider
the “aka” in the name. WisePies Arena at The Pit sounds so much better.

A Charlie Brown Christmas miracleBy Tom Purcell
It’s amazing that the show almost was not broadcast.
I speak of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” — a show that, for reasons I don’t under-stand, holds more power over me with ev-ery passing year.
The show has a very simple premise: Too much commercialization can take the meaning out of Christmas.
As it goes, Charlie Brown is depressed because everyone around him fails to see the true meaning of Christmas.
Lucy complains, for instance, that she doesn’t want stupid toys or a bicycle or clothes for Christmas. She wants real estate!
To resolve his depression, Charlie Brown throws himself into his work as the director of the Christmas play. But that soon falls apart, too.
Distraught, he follows a light in the east and finds his way to a Christmas tree lot. The only tree he can find is a small sick-ly one. When he brings it back, the others mock him.
But then Linus comes to the rescue. At once innocent and wise beyond his years, Linus tells Charlie Brown he knows what the real meaning of Christmas is. He tells the sto-ry of Christ’s birth by quoting the Gospel of Luke in the King James version of the Bible.
“And, suddenly, there was with the an-
gel a multitude of the heavenly host prais-ing God, and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, and goodwill toward men,’” says Linus. “And that’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.”
Suddenly, the other characters are transformed. They become compassion-ate and concerned. They decorate the sickly tree and transform it into a thing of beauty. They wish Charlie Brown a Merry Christmas and sing him a Christmas carol.
The things I like most about the show — the simple, almost primitive animation style, the use of real children’s voices, the lack of a laugh track and the smooth-jazz soundtrack — were the very things net-work executives despised.
According to USA Today, when CBS ex-ecutives previewed the show, they hated that it was so unlike anything else on the tube. They said it moved too slow. They thought viewers would hate the swing-ing score by jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi. And they certainly disliked like the idea of Linus reading from the Bible.
“Peanuts” creator Charles Schulz re-fused to make a single change to his show — and since it had been made under such a tight deadline, there was no time for net-work brass to replace it with something else. They had no choice but to air it.
And boy, was it a hit. When the show was first broadcast on Dec. 9, 1965, nearly
half of the television sets in America were tuned in to watch. The show has contin-ued to receive good ratings ever since.
And now we need to embrace the simple message of the show more than ever before.
Every year, the Christmas advertise-ments begin earlier. The stores open earli-er and stay open longer. The stock market rises or falls based on how much holiday stuff consumers buy.
The older I get, the less interested I am in stuff and the more interested I am in the health and well-being of my loved ones. Rather than spend money on things none of us really need, why not give it to charity or a needy family instead?
I know it is somewhat ironic that a tele-vision show, whose advertising has sold a lot of consumer goods, would be noted for its anti-commercial message, but it is, be-cause Charles Schulz was a genius.
Which is why I have big plans when “A Charlie Brown Christmas” airs every year.
I flip off the lights as I watch it —j ust as millions of kids have done every year since 1965.

Adversity has badgered a young New Mexico team early this season, something that head coach Craig Neal predicted before the team’s first exhibition game.
Now the Lobos will host in-state rival New Mexico State University on Wednesday night in the newly renamed WisePies Arena, aka The Pit. This will be the first game played under a new name since 1966 when University Arena (The Pit) opened.
UNM (3-3) is hoping to bounce back after a poor second half shoot-ing performance where they shot 20 percent (5-25) in a 66-54 loss to USC on Sunday.
Senior guard Hugh Greenwood looks to rebound after a zero-point, two-assist and two-turnover outing against the Trojans. Head coach Craig Neal said Greenwood might be trying to do too much with the absence of sophomore guard Cullen Neal.
“I think he’s just got to relax and let the game come to him,” Craig Neal said. “Even though I do think he can score the ball, I think he has to con-tinue to do the things that have made him the player that he is.”
The coach said even with all the injuries and struggles the Lobos have faced early this season, he has to lead
his young team through their early growing pains.
“We have to continue to teach, continue to get better,” he said. “The biggest thing is I just want my guys to play hard and get better every day and try to develop into the team that they can become.”
The Lobos will be without their leading scorer, Cullen Neal for the fourth straight game while he recov-
ers from an ankle injury.Jordan Goodman will also be in-
active due to the 10-day concussion protocol that requires players with concussion-like symptoms to rest for those allotted days. He will be reas-sessed later this week to determine his return date.
Arthur Edwards will miss his sec-ond straight game as he is recovering from a finger injury sustained on Nov.
23 in Puerto Rico.Neal hinted that either Cullen
Neal or Edwards could be redshirted in the near future. He would not say definitively whether or not this would happen.
The Lobos’ starting five will be the same as Sunday’s game, which con-sisted of Greenwood, Xavier Adams,

After a quick break from top-tiered opponents, New Mexico will jump right back into the � re tonight against No. 4 Texas.
Head coach Yvonne Sanchez said she is getting her team ready for conference play by schedul-ing one of the toughest schedules in the nation. � e Longhorns will be the fourth nationally ranked team New Mexico (1-5) has faced in the opening seven games of the season.
“We’ve got an opportunity to get some wins and do some things in the non-conference before the conference,” Sanchez said. “Our losses haven’t hurt us. We just need to start getting some wins.”
Sanchez said her squad is well equipped to play against top oppo-nents. She said the team embraces the challenges and are not over-whelmed by playing BCS schools.
“You wanted to one day go play for one of those teams when you were younger,” freshman guard Cherise Benyon said. “Now you play against them and see you can actually compete against them. It’s pretty exciting.”
Benyon jumped into thick of UNM’s starting roster right out of high school. � e Lobo guard is av-eraging six boards and eight points per contest in her � rst six games.
“I came in with that mindset that I wanted to start,” Benyon said. “As a freshman it’s kind of intimi-dating, and it’s a lot of pressure.”
Benyon has responded well to pressure in her early tenure as a Lobo but said she needs to keep learning and improving to get her team on the winning side of things.
Having a healthy starting guard in Bryce Owens and get-ting sixth man Alexa Chavez back will bolster the roster against a tough Texas team (5-0). Chavez has missed three games due to a kidney infection, and Ow-ens missed the final game of the Thanksgiving tournament against UC Riverside.
Getting Chavez back should provide much needed relief defen-sively since junior forward Khadi-jah Shumpert has fouled out in the three games Chavez has been ab-sent. UNM’s defense will be crucial against a Texas team that is averag-ing 84 points a game compared to the Lobos’ 58.8.
“We have to play better defense in order to stop them,” Benyon said. “I was not a defensive player, and now I am more of a defensive player ... Defense will help us win the games.”
Although Texas doesn’t have a scorer who is averaging more than 16 points a game, the Longhorns are a sound unit that averages 18
assists and only turns the ball over 13.3 times a game.
Sanchez said she is con� dent that her defense will step up against such
a dominant o� ensive unit in Texas.“� ey (the Lobos) bounce back
very easy,” Sanchez said. “I think every game we’ve improved.”

� e Aggies (3-4) are led by senior guard Daniel Mullings, who is com-ing o� of a Western Athletic Confer-
ence Player of the Year in 2014 and was picked to be preseason WAC Player of the Year again this year.
“I think one of the reasons why he (Mullings) is so good and what makes
him so good is he is always aggres-sive,” Neal said. “He’s always on the attack. I think what makes him so po-tent is his aggressiveness and his at-tack mode.”
Lobo fans might remember a sea-son ago when the Aggies jumped out to a quick 23-5 lead that the Lobos could not overcome. � e Aggies went on to win the game 67-61.
