Revelers welcome 2014 with fireworks, dancing

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — With fireworks, dancing and late-night revelry millions around the globe welcomed 2014 on Tuesday, gathering for huge displays of jubilation and unity as the new year was arriving across the world’s 24 main time zones.

In Australia, fireworks sprayed from the sails of

the Sydney Opera House and the city’s harbor bridge at midnight. Revelers in Dubai awaited what was supposed to be the world’s largest fireworks show.

In Ukraine, anti-government protesters hoped to set their own record for the most people to sing a national anthem at the same time.

Revelers heading to New York City’s Times Square could expect the annual ball drop but no mayor this year. The new year was to be rung in by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor instead.

Friday hearing set NMSP arrest Gomez for homicide on horse slaughter ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A Friday court hearing is set on the latest effort to block a Roswell company from resuming domestic horse slaughter.

State District Judge Matthew Wilson in Santa Fe has issued a temporary restraining order preventing Valley Meat Co. from opening before he can hold the initial hearing on New Mexico Attorney General Gary King’s lawsuit against the plant.

It is the latest in a series of stops and starts for Valley and a Missouri compa-

ny, which have been preparing to open in the coming weeks after a federal judge threw out a lawsuit by animal protection groups and a federal appellate court lifted a stay on operations pending the group’s appeal.

Following the federal court rulings, King stepped in this month with a lawsuit saying Valley Meat’s operations would violate state laws related to food safety, water quality and unfair business practices.

The New Mexico State Police arrested Adalberto (Albert) Gomez, 24, in Las Cruces around 7 p.m.

Monday. Gomez was wanted on charges of murder for the slaying of Juan (Pun) Gonzales that occurred around 9:45 p.m. on Sunday, May 19, when of ficers from the Roswell Police Department responded to Pecan Place in reference to a shotsfired call. Upon arrival, officers discovered Gonzales, 26, dead on his living room floor as the result of gunshot wounds.

for the defense, following in the July 15, 2012, shooting death of Ruben (Hammer) Archuleta Sr., 48, and Ruben Archuleta Jr., 19. Gregory Hobbs was convicted of involuntary manslaughter after he shot the two men in defense of his friend Pun. Since that time, the situation between Gonzales and Archuleta family members was described as tense.

According to the criminal complaint filed in Magistrate Court, Monday, the suspect arrived at Gonzales’ home and started shooting through the front door. Initial reports from family members were confused with several different

descriptions of both the suspect and the vehicle. A family member told officials that she ran from her house into the other house to get the babies out of the bathroom.

Later, the court document reports, lead investigator Detective Kim Northcutt observed two bullet holes, just above the bath tub, in the bathroom, one bullet strike, which split the bath tub, on the north side and another bullet strike on the bath tub on the south side. Bullet holes were also located on the ar ms of the couch where Pun had been sitting and bullet holes on the south wall of the living

Health care law at a crossroads

WASHINGTON (AP) — All things good, bad and unpredictable converge with the new year for President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul as the law’s major benefits take ef fect, along with an unpopular insurance mandate and a risk of more nerve-wracking disruptions to coverage.

The changes bring big improvements for some, including Howard Kraft of Lincolnton, N.C. A painful spinal problem left him unable to work as a hotel bellman. But he’s got coverage because federal law now forbids insurers from turning away people with health problems.

TODAY’S OBITUARIES PAGE A6 • JOSEFINA RODARTE DEVORA • CRISTOBAL “CHOCOLATE” • CHARLDEAN TALNACK GUTIERREZ • CATHARINE WRIGHT BARNHILL • JUDY HARRIS • ALLENE MANN GOLDMAN • DELL VICK

“I am not one of these people getting a policy because I’m being made to,” Kraft said. “I need one to stay alive.”

What’s good for millions like Kraft is secured through what others see as an imposition: requiring virtually every American to get covered, either through an employer, a government program, or by buying a plan directly.

But the health care headlines early this year could come from continued unpredictable consequences of the insurance program’s messy rollout.

largely fixed — with 2.1 million enrolled through federal and state websites.

But on the back end, insurers say they are still receiving thousands of erroneous sign-ups from the government.

That means early in the year insured patients could go for a medication refill — or tur n up in the emergency room — only to be told there is no record of their coverage.

One of the main worries is over certain error-tainted enrollment records that insurers call “orphans” and “ghosts.”

Mexican sales tax hike seen as boon on US border perennial draws for Mexicans seeking products that are more expensive or hard to find south of the border.

Mexican shoppers spend more than $4.5 billion a year in Texas border cities, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

Fed economists estimated in March that Mexican border crossers account for 58 percent of retail sales in Laredo and 42 percent in McAllen.

Published research is more dated for other border states, but the impact is undeniable. University of Arizona researchers concluded that Mexican shoppers accounted for 48.6 percent of taxable sales in Santa Cruz County, Ariz., which includes Nogales, from July 2007 through June 2008.

Roswell Daily Record

CHULA VISTA, Calif. (AP) — Mexican license plates are common in parking lots of shopping malls in U.S. border cities. They will be even more familiar after Mexico raises its federal sales tax in border regions to match the rest of the country, say merchants and shoppers.

The increase to 16 percent from 11 percent, which takes effect Wednesday, has sparked large protests on the Mexican side of the border. Facebook pages with secessionist tones have generated about 200,000 “likes.”

Thousands have signed petitions to challenge the tax hike in court.

The Mexican government says the two-tiered tax structure, which was introduced decades ago to make

border cities competitive, is no longer justified. Others say the increase may backfire by driving more shoppers north of the border, harming the economy and raising less tax revenue than anticipated.

“We don’t compete against the rest of Mexico, we compete against the American economy,” said Juan Manuel Hernandez, president of the T ijuana Business Coordinating Council, an umbrella group of business chambers.

U.S. border regions like California’s Imperial Valley — which has three WalMart Supercenters and only 175,000 residents — have long depended on Mexican shoppers who buy everything from gasoline to groceries. Brand-name clothing and electronics are

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — The family that helped raise a 9-year -old Albuquerque boy who died after being kicked repeatedly by his biological mother says the child’s death could have been prevented.

Police found Omaree Varela unresponsive in his family’s home Friday. His mother, Synthia VarelaCasaus, 38, was arrested after telling police she got angry and kicked him.

She’s facing a charge of child abuse resulting in death. It wasn’t clear if she had a lawyer.

Varela-Casaus’ son and daughter lived with Essie Sotelo’s family on and off for several years until the state Children, Youth and

Families Department ordered them to return the children to their mother in 2011.

“I blame CYFD for what happened because they put him in that house,” Sotelo told the Albuquerque Journal. “I told them that girl (VarelaCasaus) was not ready to take care of those kids. He was doing so good when he was with us. He liked school, he loved sports, he was happy.”

Department Secretary Yolanda Deines said in a statement that her thoughts and prayers were with “this innocent 9-year-old child who was failed by the person who should have loved him

most.

“These types of cases are always so troubling and send ripple throughout our community,” she said. “And they should, for we always strive to protect the innocent.”

Sotelo and police have said that the child-welfare agency was well-aware of Varela-Casaus.

According to documents shared with the Journal

by Sotelo and her daughter, Shana Smith, the agency’s Protective Services Division recommended in 2009 that Omaree and his sister, Neviah, remain in Sotelo’s care until interviews and assessments of Varela-Casaus’ caretaking ability could be

completed.

Sotelo and Smith said Varela-Cacaus had given them permission to take the children with them when they moved to Arizona. They said they were later contacted by the agency and ordered to bring the children back to Albuquerque.

That was the last time Sotelo and Smith saw the children.

Children, Youth and Families Department spokesman Henry Varela, no relation to VarelaCasaus, said he couldn’t comment specifically about the case, but that the courts — not the agency — dictate where a child is placed.

FARMINGTON (AP) — A company owned by the Navajo Nation finished its purchase of a northwestern New Mexico coal mine the same day an Arizona utility took ownership of a California utility’s stake in a power plant that gets its fuel from the mine.

BHP Billiton completed the $85 million sale of the Navajo Mine near Farmington to the Navajo Transitional Energy Co. LLC on Monday. The mine produces 8.5 million tons of coal annually.

BHP will continue to operate the mine until 2016.

Tribal officials have said the acquisition is a major step in taking control of the reservation’s coal resources.

“It puts Navajo Nation in control of its own destiny,” LoRenzo Bates, chairman of the T ribal Council’s Budget and Finance Committee, said in October.

In a related transaction, Arizona Public Service Co. on Monday completed its purchase of Southern Cal-

ifornia Edison’s ownership of Units 4 and 5 at the Four Corners Power Plant near Far mington for approximately $182 million.

As another part of a previously announced plan to bring the plant into compliance with federal clean air standards, APS permanently closed Units 1, 2 and 3 on Monday. It also will install additional emission controls on the two remaining units.

“This is a milestone occasion,” said Don

Brandt, APS chair man, president and CEO. “We have completed a transaction that will benefit the environment, allow us to continue to support the economy of the Navajo Nation and surrounding community, and help electric users in the Southwest with an important, low-cost generating resource.”

SANDIA LAB GETS GRANT FOR WORK ON WEAPON VACCINE

Sandia Lab gets grant for work on weapon vaccine

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Sandia National Laboratories has snagged a federal grant to develop a new microscopic delivery system for a vaccine against chemical and biological weapons.

According to the Albuquerque Journal, the four-

year $10.8 million grant awarded by the Department of Defense builds on Sandia’s creation of a particle known as the protocell.

That technology is already being used to fight diseases. The new effort is aimed at delivering antibiotics to tissue targeted by two types of bacteria that have been used in weapons.

Sandia researcher Eric

Carnes says protocells are particularly promising as an antibiotic delivery system because they are engineered to specifically target infected tissue.

The project will begin with laboratory tests at the University of New Mexico. Additional tests at Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute will follow.

The plant provides electricity to about 300,000 households in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

CORRECTION

The “Veterans cemetery dedicated in Roswell” story that ran in Tuesday’s edition said “Southeast New Mexico Legion Riders,” surrounded the stage during the dedication ceremony. These were actually members of American Legion Post 28.

The Patriot Guard Riders also attended the event and provided flags for the ceremony. The Record regrets the error.

When of ficials arrived at the scene, they found a man bleeding from wounds to his head and face inside the residence. He reported that three unknown men, described as Hispanic males, approached him as he sat outside his residence. One of the assailants struck him on the back of the head and he fell to the ground. Then, he was stuck multiple times. When he broke free, one of the men pulled a knife and cut his throat.

The three fled, taking some cash and DVDs valued at $70.

Burglary

• Police were called to the 2600 block of Palomar Place, Monday, where a man found an unknown male subject rifling through his glovebox when he left for work. The two men fought.

Insurers say those customers never left the government’s “orphanage” to “go and live” with the carrier they selected.

“Ghosts” are new customers that the insurer does have a record of, but mysteriously the information does not appear in the government’s computers.

The Obama administration says the rate of such errors has been dramatically reduced, and insurers agree.

S&P 500 INDEX HAS ITS BEST YEAR SINCE 1997 NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market closed out a record year with more alltime highs on Tuesday, giving U.S. indexes their biggest annual gains in almost two decades.

move across a massive man-made palm-shaped island alongside a countdown in fireworks. Organizers say they will also create a burst of light out of fireworks to imitate a sunrise and dazzle spectators with a United Arab Emirates flag that could also break records for being the largest ever made of fireworks.

The 6-minute extravaganza will include 500,000 fireworks from 400 firing locations, all synchronized by 100 computers from stations across the city, said Barrett Wissman, co-chairman of IMG Artists that is managing the event.

Guinness World Record officials will be on hand to measure the scale of the event.

Wissman said the display will cover 30 miles (48 kilometers) of seafront. “It is really mind-blowing, the size of this,” he said.

In Sydney, organizers had expected to set off 7 metric tons (7.7 U.S. tons) of pyrotechnics in 12 seconds. The estimate appeared accurate.

“It filled up the whole sky,” said Mona Rucek, a 28-year-old tourist from Munich, Germany.

In Tokyo, five priests at the Zojoji temple used ropes to swing a wooden pole against a large bell, sounding the first of 108 gongs to mark the new year. Simultaneously, “2014” lit up in white lights on the moder n Tokyo Tower in the background.

Both Japanese and tourists jammed the temple grounds for the traditional ceremony. Suburban resident Juji Muto said he was curious to

hear how the bell sounded. At his age, the 75year -old retiree said he wishes as every year for good health in the new year.

China planned light shows at part of the Great Wall near Beijing and at the Bund waterfront in Shanghai. The city of Wuhan in central Hubei province called off its fireworks show and banned fireworks downtown to avoid worsening its smog.

Pope Francis used his year-end prayer service of thanksgiving to urge people to ask themselves: Did they spend 2013 to further their own interests or to help others?

In his homily, the pontiff asked people to reflect if they used 2013 to make the places where they live more livable and welcoming. Citing Rome as an example, Francis said the city is full of tourists, but also refugees.

Britain planned to welcome 2014 with a mixture of futuristic fireworks, torch-lit tradition and worries about immigration.

The United Kingdom is only one day away from lifting restrictions on workers from Romania and Bulgaria, a prospect which has many on the country’s right worried.

Britain’s top-selling The Sun newspaper carried a startling feature quoting Romanian bus passengers en route to London as vowing to beg and steal their way across the country.

The right-leaning Daily Mail reported that planes and buses from Romania to the U.K. were “sold out” — a claim ridiculed by journalists who easily found cheap flights

online.

For people already in London, the New Year will give them the opportunity to literally taste the fireworks.

The city’s mayor — in conjunction with telecommunications company Vodafone — said this year’s explosive display would come packed with peach-flavored snow, edible banana confetti and orange-scented bubbles, allowing people to feast with more than just their eyes. The multisensory display will also include scratch-and-sniff programs, LED wristbands and fruit-flavored sweets.

At Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, hundreds of thousands of people were starting to assemble for what organizers say is one of the world’s biggest outdoors New Year’s party, a traditional German gathering featuring jelly doughnuts and sparkling wine.

More than 260 people had been injured by firecracker blasts and celebratory gunfire in the Philippines ahead of New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Department of Health spokesman Dr. Eric Tayag said he expected the number of injuries to rise sharply as Filipinos commemorate the end of a year marked by tragic disasters, including a Nov. 8 typhoon that left more than 6,100 dead and nearly 1,800 missing.

“Many here are welcoming the new year after losing their mothers, fathers, siblings and children so you can imagine how it feels,” said village chief Maria Rosario Bactol of Anibong community in Tacloban, the city worst hit by Typhoon Haiyan.

We are not really getting what we pay for A4 Wednesday, January 1, 2014

In real life when you find yourself paying more and getting less, you usually search for another product or service. With the federal government, it isn’t possible to take your business elsewhere unless you are prepared to give up your citizenship, as some have done. Such a drastic step is rejected by most of us because we still believe in the ideal that once was America, though not in the direction in which the country is currently headed.

At the end of the year comes a letter from the person who prepares my taxes. He wants me to know about changes in the tax law associated with Obamacare. It is written in a way that only people with a gift for foreign languages can understand. Here are some excerpts.

“(i) Subject to a Medicare payroll tax increase of .9 percent on earned income (e.g., wages and net self-employment income) above these amounts. Employers will pay 1.45 percent and employees will pay 1.45 percent on the first $200,000 and 2.35 percent (1.45 percent + .9 percent) on the amount over $200,000 (withheld by the employer). Some of this may be returned if the employee files jointly because the threshold on a joint return is $250,000. Selfemployed will pay 2.9 percent on the first $200,000 of net income

and 3.8 percent on the amount over $200,000 (or $250,000 if filing jointly).”

Their wages exceed the $250,000 threshold by $80,000 and their MAGI exceeds $250,000 threshold by $140,000. They are subject to the Medicare payroll tax increase in the amount of $720 (.9 percent x $80,000). They are also subject to the Medicare surtax in the amount of $2,280 (3.8 percent x $60,000); note $60,000 is the lower of ‘excess’ MAGI ($140,000) and net investment income

There’s a second page of this, but why torture readers any further? Is this the kind of stuff a free people should put up with? What kind of twisted mind comes up with language and policies that college-educated and otherwise successful people can’t understand? Even some people at the IRS have been notoriously unhelpful in answering questions about this foreign language known as the U.S. tax code, but if taxpayers get something wrong, they must still pay for their mistakes with a penalty and interest.

There are many hidden and notso-hidden taxes in Obamacare and elsewhere. Here’s one part of my tax attorney’s letter I do understand: “The top tax bracket is now 39.6 percent (up from 35 percent) [and] the capital gains rate and dividend rate may be increased to 20 percent (from 15 percent) plus the additional 3.8

percent Medicare surtax discussed above.”

At least the guy has an ironic sense of humor. He concludes in bold letters: “Just another simplification of the Internal Revenue Code.”

Here’s my own attempt at dark humor. In our just concluded Christmas season, we recalled a different kind of Magi: wise men who came to worship and bring gifts to the Christ child. Now MAGI stands for Modified Adjusted Gross Income. How appropriate with a president who was called a messiah figure by some and to whom we are being forced to bring “gifts” in increasing amounts to be misspent on bloated and dysfunctional government.

There’s only one way to fix this and it comes in the next two elections.

Vitamins, antibacterial soap waste of time, money?

Do you pop a multivitamin every morning?

Do you wash your hands with antibacterial soap every time you see a speck of grime (or hear someone in the next cubicle sneeze)?

You may be wasting your time and money — and even doing yourself harm — according to a couple of reports this week.

Three studies cited in an editorial in the Annals of Internal Medicine claim multivitamins do nothing to prevent cancer, prevent or help heart disease, protect people’s brainpower as they age or extend their life spans.

In fact, one of the studies found that taking beta-carotene and vitamin E might actually increase the risk of lung cancer in some cases.

The editorial’s bluntness was reflected in its title: “Enough is Enough: Stop Wasting Money on Vitamin and Mineral Supplements.”

Being that vitamin supplementation is a close to $30 billion a year business in the U.S., the industry of course fired back, calling the researchers “closed-minded.” Other, ongoing studies of multivitamin use don’t use the words “waste” or “cure-all,” having found some potential (and small) benefits.

We doubt this medical journal editorial will convince multivitamin users to leave them on the shelves (the headline alone comes across as a bit condescending).

We’re not scientists, either, so we won’t offer an opinion on the specifics of the studies. We’ll just point out that the mind is a powerful thing, and if people think they’re getting benefits from something, those benefits are very real and concrete to them.

Still, it’s hard to argue with the game plan the researchers offered for staying healthy — eat right and exercise.

On the same day the vitamin research was released, the Food and Drug Administration released a report saying that 40 years of research by its scientists has found no evidence that anti-bacterial soaps (not alcoholbased sanitizers) stop the spread of germs.

In fact, their research indicates the chemicals in those soaps — commonly triclosan — can interfere with hormone levels in lab animals and actually can promote the growth of drug-resistant bacteria.

The FDA has proposed a rule that would require antibacterial soap makers to prove by 2016 that their products are safe and more effective than plain old soap and water. Otherwise, those products would have to be reformulated, relabeled or discontinued.

Manufacturers in what has become a $1 billion a year industry claim the FDA has “a wealth of data” showing the benefits of their products. It must not be all that compelling, given the agency’s action this week.

We don’t have a problem with the burden of proof being on the soap makers. They have every right to market products, and if people want to buy something more than plain old soap for hand washing, it’s their business (and money).

They just need to know for sure what they’re getting.

Guest Editorial The New Bern Sun Journal DEAR DOCTOR K: I had some blood work done recently and was surprised to learn that I am deficient in vitamin D. How is this possible? What can I do about it?

DEAR READER: Vitamin D is an unusual vitamin. We get most vitamins from the foods we eat; our body can’t make them. Unfortunately, vitamin D isn’t found naturally in many foods. Fatty fish and milk (which is fortified with vitamin D) are the main food sources. (I’ve put a table listing other dietary sources of vitamin D on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Fortunately, your body can make its own vitamin D. In order to do so, your body needs sunshine — more specifically, ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. But most of us spend the vast majority of our

As the first (and maybe still the only) individual with a press pass to have boldly predicted that after his upset win in the 2000 New Hampshire Republican presidential primary, “President” John McCain would not seek a second White House term, you might think I would’ve been embarrassed into retiring my smoggy crystal ball. But as “Show Boat” taught us: “Fish got to swim, birds got to fly.”

time indoors. Even when we’re outside, we often use sunscreen because it protects us against skin cancer. But less exposure to the sun means that our bodies may be making less vitamin D than we need.

What are the health benefits of vitamin D, and the health problems caused by low blood levels of vitamin D? I wish I could give you just a simple answer. Here’s the

Washington officeholders will tell us, “If we can put a man on the moon,” then we can a) reverse global war ming b) overcome economic inequality and c) eliminate those pesky crow’s feet around the eyes.

I resolve not to take seriously any candidate running for public office next year who regularly misuses the following nouns as verbs: “dialogue,” “mentor,” “impact,” “staff,” “parent” or “friend.”

While we’re on the subject, other objectionable words and phrases include: “proactive,” “incentivize,” “functionality,” “prioritize,” “it is what it is,” “that said” or “double down.”

simple part: Adequate blood levels of vitamin D protect us against osteoporosis, a disease that increases the risk of bone fractures. Taking vitamin D supplements if your blood level of vitamin D is low can help prevent osteoporosis. Most doctors agree on that.

Here’s where it gets complicated: Many studies have found that people with low blood levels of vitamin D also are at greater risk for getting high blood pressure, heart disease, various autoimmune diseases (including multiple sclerosis and Type 1 diabetes), depression and colon cancer. So you might think that taking vitamin D supplements would protect you against these diseases, like it protects against osteoporosis. But it isn’t that

I predict that just as the construction “marriage equality “ effectively resolved the debate over same-sex marriage in favor of its proponents, there will be one memorable signature line from the debate over women in combat.

Its speaker retired Air Force Col. Martha McSally in 1991 became the first American woman to fly combat missions. Her cryptic formulation rejecting men-only rules in combat: “So Justin Bieber can do it, but Venus Williams can’t?”

I resolve not to read any publication that includes any of the following articles: “Why

To prove that taking vitamin D supplements protects against these diseases requires a very large study called a randomized clinical trial. Fortunately, such a study is under way (with leadership here at Harvard Medical School). But it will be years before the results are known.

For now, here’s what most experts agree on. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of vitamin D is 600 international units (IU) for adults up to age 70, and 800 IU from age 71 on. If you’re not getting enough vitamin D from foods and modest sun exposure, consider a daily supplement to get 600 to 800 IU per day. Choose a supplement that contains the form of vitamin D called D3. Do not take more than

Not Paying Your Federal Taxes Is Patriotic”; “The Gentle Side of Chris Brown”; “The Absolutely Best Nachos in the Upper Great Lakes”; A soulful personal testimonial from his “surviving” uncle — “My Wonderfully Thoughtful Nephew, Kim Jong-un.”

I resolve to urge both parties to adopt the “Sears Rule,” named for its creator, John P. Sears, who was Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign manager in 1976 and 1980.

4,000 IU per day, as that can cause side effects.

I think this is reasonable advice. However, when the results of further studies are analyzed, we may come to a different conclusion. We may discover that we need more vitamin D than these recommendations. Or it could turn out that we need to take vitamin D supplements only when our blood levels of vitamin D are low, and with the only expected health benefit being healthy bones. That’s why we do research.

Year end evaluation; New Year’s resolutions Roswell Daily Record

Happy New Year, Roswell! I say that realizing this past year saw one of my top four local veterans issues/problems find a much welcome resolution. That said, I’m hoping that one or more of the other three issues/problems will be scratched off our list of 2014 New Year’s resolutions.

For more than 10 years, a small group of Souther n New Mexico veterans have been working on this core of four prime veterans’ issues in our area. The first issue was establishing a local VA health care in the Roswell/Chaves County area, specifically providing local urgent care and emergency room care on a locally contracted, fee-based model. The second issue is support for the veterans medical transportation services. Third is having the Department of Defense and Congress pay the earned pension of combat disabled veterans (being withheld by an Act of Congress — both political parties guilty of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act).

The fourth issue being the establishing of a local, southeastern New Mexico Veterans Cemetery, which is scheduled for completion in the next few months. “Happy

New Year” on completing this resolution!

The current, and longest continual campaign for resolving these four local veterans issues started back in 2003, in a New Mexico Military Institute parking lot following a “meeting” with then Secretary of New Mexico Veterans Services John Garcia. Our topic of conversation was to find resolutions for local veterans issues Garcia and his bosses were obviously not able to accomplish. Within a few months, a few veterans and Congressman Steve Pearce joined the war for local veterans core issues.

Pearce has stayed actively involved personally and through local staffer John Lovell (who has since moved on). This is the only Republican in the New Mexico, Washington, D.C., Senate/House delegation, the only Republican who represents a district along the U.S./Mexico border and the only New Mexico federal politician who has accomplished local veterans resolutions (not just hold “meetings” and passed “bills” that seemed important, but accomplish nothing). When the resolution of establishing a local veteran cemetery became bogged down

Dallas officer fired for shooting unarmed suspect

DALLAS (AP) — A veteran Dallas police officer was fired Monday for shooting an unarmed man, becoming the second officer dismissed since October in shootings superiors have deemed unjustified.

Police Chief David Brown fired Senior Cpl. Amy Wilburn, who came under scrutiny for wounding a 19-year-old carjacking suspect Dec. 9. A witness told investigators the suspect had his hands raised at the time.

Wilburn’s attorney, Robert Rogers, told The Dallas Morning News that the 48-year-old corporal has more than 200 commendations in her 12-year career. He said Wilburn feared for her life when she shot Kelvion Walker.

Wilburn had responded to an apartment complex where a car was seen that police say was taken in car jacking. As officers approached, the driver jumped from the vehicle and fled.

With the car still moving, Wilburn approached to stop it.

Rogers said she did not expect a passenger to be inside and was surprised to see Walker.

Wilburn saw Walker’s left hand, but he didn’t comply when ordered to show his right, Rogers said, explaining that she shot Walker because she believed he was reaching for a weapon.

But officials said in a statement posted on the Dallas police Facebook page that Wilburn “rushed the vehicle and did not maintain distance without taking the time a reasonable officer would approaching a vehicle with armed suspects.”

The department faulted her for reholstering her weapon and rushing to the passenger side of the car, which is contrary to protocol, the statement said.

“A reasonable officer in fear for their safety would not have approached the vehicle in this manner,” the statement said.

Walker, who has not been charged in the carjacking, has since been released from the hospital, the Morning News reported. He has filed a lawsuit against Wilburn.

In a separate incident in October, Dallas officer Cardan Spencer shot a mentally ill man who was standing with his arms at his side while holding a knife. A resident’s surveillance camera captured the shooting, and the video contradicted initial police claims that the man approached Spencer and his partner in a threatening manner.

Spencer was fired and his partner was reprimanded.

the presidential nominees of both major parties would each be given a half hour of free TV time, which could only be used by the candidate.

Finally, let us resolve to seek and provide leadership that embodies the wisdom and humanity of the monk Thomas Merton, who wrote: “It is easy to tell the poor to accept their poverty as God’s will when you yourself have war m clothes and plenty of food and medical care and a roof over your head and no worry about the rent. But if you want them to believe you — try to share some of their poverty and see if you can accept it as God’s will yourself.” Happy 2014.

with disputes between the mayor and the land donor’s representatives, a brief afternoon meeting between Congressman Pearce and the two local parties (behind closed doors) yielded a change in direction toward a more positive, consolatory path. During the process, local community organizing mastermind Jane Batson responded to my request (last February at a non-productive VA “conference”) for her help and expertise in taking the project forward. In a very productive couple of months, a cemetery board was formed, articles of incorporation were drawn, officers were elected, a nonprofit receiver was established for donations, a time line of initial planning and construction was established and initial construction was begun. Thanks to Jane’s unique planning and

Wednesday, January 1, 2014

organizing abilities, a groundbreaking was celebrated this past Monday. A tremendous vote of thanks goes to the McBride and Willis families for making the land available, and thus, the cemetery feasible. During the groundbreaking ceremony, Mr. Ray Willis pledged his financial support to the project (over and above his generous contribution of land). Mr. Willis’ sincerity and eagerness was visibly noticeable.

Our cemetery is on its way!

Veteran core resolution to finally establish a local veterans urgent care service, and emergency room service will once again rely on Jane Batson’s tremendous abilities. Jane was responsible a few years ago for establishing a local veterans clinic within the La Casa de Buena Salud Clinic system. La Casa was forced to discontinue its veteran service due to extremely slow and capitated payments by the VA for services rendered locally. A few months after Roswell pulled the plug on the VA, I joined the board for La Casa and saw firsthand the situation in which the VA put our local clinic. Jane has committed, with the support of the local veteran coalition, to reestablishing a

local veterans medical service, with VA payment activity being closely monitored.

Finally, with (all) retired veterans experiencing an attack on their pension, it is hoped (all) retired veterans will see the benefit in assisting 100 percent combat disabled veterans with their battle to obtain promised retirement pensions currently being denied. Congressman Pearce’s help on this issue is acutely needed in rectifying this atrocity!

The last attempt by Congress to rectify the situation was reported to be a success; however, it turned out to be only a balloon filled with hot air. With Pearce focusing on this issue, a different outcome may be (and desperately needs to be) accomplished. Veterans of our current war are receiving the recognition and support they deserve. We veterans of other wars would appreciate the same attention to critical issues.

It is hoped an even bigger “Happy New Year” can be realized in 2014. God bless.

Book sheds light on cattle mutilations, Dulce Base

BY LINDSEY BRIGHT RIO GRANDE SUN

ESPAÑOLA — The signs on the road war ning of livestock are common on the highways of New Mexico — a yellow triangle with a black cattle shape in the middle.

In Northern New Mexico there is often a tiny addition hinting to the area’s mysterious past — a black sticker shaped like a flying saucer, pasted above the cattle, as if waiting to beam them up. For tourists and the younger generation, this graffiti is the only knowledge of the bizarre past and lore of Dulce Base, the suspicion of aliens and mysterious orbs of light bouncing through a desert landscape at night. The cattle mutilations remain largely unknown.

Gabe Valdez wasn’t merely interested in learning about the mysterious happenings around Dulce — he devoted much of his adult life to it. Valdez was a state police officer and had seen many of the mysteries and cattle mutilations firsthand. Gabe Valdez died several years ago with a garage full of boxes of pictures and documents, never having published his work. His son took it upon himself to see that his father’s work was fulfilled. This year, Greg Valdez published “Dulce Base: The Truth and Evidence from the Case Files of Gabe Valdez.”

these files,” Valdez said of his father’s legacy. “I started getting calls from different investigators and reporters.”

Valdez said his father had been pretty good about sharing the information gleaned from his investigations. When Gabe Valdez died, all the information was kept by his son. Investigators would call or email Greg Valdez, and he would spend a whole night writing a response.

“I would end up writing a three-to-four page letter response to just one email,” he said.

Instead of writing so many in-depth individual responses, Valdez decided he would write a book and give the information to the world.

Valdez said many of the phenomena seen in Norther n New Mexico have been falsely attributed to alien activity. This is something his father never supported or believed in, he said.

“People want to come and find aliens, but there is no proof of aliens and my father never believed there was alien activity.

He pointed toward the government,” Valdez said.

He said his father believed the government was responsible for the cattle mutilations as well as the bouncing orbs of light and mysterious lights in the sky. It was the gover nment who pointed to aliens to discredit the people who had lear ned too much, he said.

“In Dulce, you can see an unidentified flying object on any given night, like on Mundo Ridge. The key is that people eliminate the first logical step — that what they are seeing is human caused.

Instead they think, ‘This is weird. It has to be alien,’” Valdez said.

What people are actually seeing is an invisible military aircraft, Valdez said. Why people think they’re aliens is part of a problem in logic and part government propaganda.

“Paul Bennewitz is the key to the whole Dulce story,” he said.

According to Valdez, Bennewitz approached his father at a conference where Gabe Valdez had been a speaker. “‘Hey, I heard your presentation and I’ve been seeing the same weird lights that you were talking about, but over Kirtland Air Force Base,’” Bennewitz told Gabe Valdez.

“When Paul goes with my dad to Dulce, he sees the same lights.”

At this point, government officials started taking Bennewitz on wild goose chases, Valdez said.

The government officials took Bennewitz up to the top of Archuleta Mesa and took him on dif ferent flights around the Dulce area, during which time they told Bennewitz about all the confidential alien projects the government had been working on.

“The alien stories were major in the ’80s,” Valdez said. "The Air Force saw it

Shop the classifieds

as a way to start a rumor and started giving Bennewitz a lot of stuff to discredit him."

There are no tunnels under Archuleta Mesa, Valdez said. There are no reptilian green or gray alien tunnels, neither are there military tunnels, he said.

When the rumor of tunnels first started in the late ’70s, underground machines were digging tunnels for the water diversion tunnel off the Navajo River, Valdez said.

“This really helped fuel the flame.”

A forest fire hit Archuleta Mesa in 1996 and severely burned the mesa.

Many people took this for work of the government, covering up their underground military base, the Dulce Base. Valdez was a hot shot firefighter at the time and he worked the fire.

“I was there that morning. The mesa was hammered with lightening.

Dry lightening started that fire,” he said.

Valdez said for most of the mystery surrounding the Dulce area and greater Norther n New Mexico, simple events have been sensationalized, whether by government misinformation or a desire to have the unknown manifest itself in front of you.

“See, that’s how a lot of stories are. They are dramatized, when there are logical, simple explanations,” Valdez said.

Police, troops heavy in bomb-hit Russian city VOLGOGRAD, Russia (AP) — Eerily empty buses lumbered through the streets, police weighed down with body ar mor warily watched pedestrians near a fast-food restaurant, and members of Cossack units stood guard at bus stops. Volgograd was an ominous and jittery city Tuesday after two suicide bombings in two days killed 34 people.

Volgograd authorities canceled mass events for New Year’s Eve, one of Russia’s most popular holidays, and asked residents not to set off fireworks. All movie theaters were closed until Thursday.

“People are afraid it will happen again. They’re trying not to go outside if they don’t have to,” said 20-year-old Yulia Kuzmi-

na, a student. “We get a feeling that a war has started.”

That is a worry that extends far beyond Volgograd.

Although there has been no claim of responsibility for the bombing of the city’s main railway station and a trolley bus, suspicion has fallen on Islamist insurgents, whose leader ordered his adherents over the summer to do all they could to derail the Winter Olympics, which start Feb. 7 in the Russian resort city of Sochi.

Olympic organizers have introduced some of the most extensive identity checks and other security measures ever seen at an inter national sporting event. But even if security at the Games is tight, many analysts suggest

that the Volgograd bombings show how public transit in Sochi and sites away from the sports venues are vulnerable.

Police reinforcements and Interior Ministry troops have been sent into Volgograd, regional police of ficial Andrei Pilipchuk was quoted as telling the Interfax news agency. He said more than 5,200 security forces are deployed in the city of 1 million, but did not say how much of an increase that was from normal levels.

In loving memory, Mom Charldean was born Feb. 22, 1922, in Pauls Valley, Okla., to Charles E. and Jessica Evergreen Harper.

She was their seventh daughter. She married Robert B. Smith and shortly afterwards became a young widow when he gave his life to this country at the Nor mandy Invasion.

After the war, she married John Talnack, of Bethlehem, Pa., another soldier.

She was the wife of an aerospace engineer during the age of rocket and missile development. She lived through the Depression, WWII, Cuban Missile Crisis, and civil unrest of the 1960’s. She was a wife and life partner to John Talnack for some 60 years, raising a family, educating herself and caring for her husband until his death in 2001. She came to Roswell in 1962 and spent the last five years as a resident at Villa del Rey Retirement Home. She passed away Nov. 19, 2013, in California, while living with her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Moffett. She lived 91 years.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) #### The New Moon christens the New Year. This specific New Moon carries responsibilities and a serious tone with it. This event is merely a passage. Make time for what you enjoy, whether you watch a football game or visit with friends. Tonight: Get some much-needed rest.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) #### You might not appreciate the insight you gain, yet you still know how to look at the big picture. Do not make more of a situation than is necessary. Catch up on your friends’ and family’s news. Tonight: Don’t back away from an important question.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) #### Make it your pleasure to share your resolutions with a loved one. You might find that a child or a new heartthrob could aggravate you and be a source of irritation. A change of plans could take some pressure off you. Tonight: Be with your favorite person.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) #### The New Moon affects you more than it affects any other sign. Partners, friends and loved ones could feel a bit out of sync. They could be acting out or making strange requests. You understand moodiness. Let this roll off your back like water. Tonight: You are the party.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ### You could be playing it unusually low-key, perhaps because your mind is on taking care of another person. Someone actually might try to engage you in a fight, just to see some of your spark come out. Deal with this person directly. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ##### You might want to revise your New Year’s resolutions after some thought. Do it today, while the symbolism of the New Year still exists. Some of you could be overserious and decide not to follow through on a resolution. Tonight: Let the party begin.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ### You will sense that a partner or loved one is off or depressed. You might choose to express your sensitive side when interacting with this person. Hold off on making any judgments.

News from a distance could be irritating at best. Tonight: Take some personal time for yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) #### The New Moon could give power to an important resolution or decision on your part. This notion might stem from an extended period of deep thought and evaluation. Let go of seriousness for now, and head over to a get-together of loved ones.

Tonight: Let the party begin.

Sun Bowl: UCLA hammers Virginia Tech Wednesday, January 1, 2014 Phone: 575-622-7710, ext. 304

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — Brett Hundley threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more scores to help No. 17 UCLA rout Virginia Tech 42-12 on Tuesday in the Sun Bowl.

The Bruins (10-3) outscored the Hokies (8-5) 28-5 in the second half.

Hundley had an 86-yard touchdown run and finished with 161 yards on 10 carries, and completed 16 of 29 passes for 226 yards. He was selected the coMVP along with linebacker Jor dan Zumwalt, who had 10 tackles and an interception.

After Virginia Tech cut it to 14-10 on Michael Branthover’s 22-yard field goal with 3:53 left in the third quarter, UCLA answered with a 12-play, 85-yard drive, capped by Paul Perkins’s 5-yard run early in the fourth.

Hokies backup quarterback Mark Leal then threw a pass under heavy pressure that linebacker Myles Jack intercepted

and returned 29 yards for a touchdown that made it 28-10.

Virginia Tech, which lost starting quarterback Logan Thomas to an injury in the second quarter, got its final points when UCLA punter Sean Covington stepped on the end line for a safety with 9:38 left.

UCLA pushed it to 35-12 on Hundley’s 8-yar d touchdown pass to Thomas Duarte with 7:31 to play. The Bruins stayed aggressive late, and Hundley fired a 59-yard scoring strike down the right sideline to Shaquelle Evans for another score with 5:49 remaining.

UCLA led 14-7 after the first half.

Boston Marathon bombing top story of 2013 STORY

OF THE

YEAR

NEW YORK (AP) — The Boston Marathon bombing was selected the Sports Story of the Year in an annual vote conducted by The Associated Press.

Two pressure cooker bombs exploded near the finish line of the April 15 race in an area packed with fans cheering the passing runners. Three people were killed and more than 260 injured, including at least 16 who lost limbs.

Authorities say brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, ethnic Chechens from Russia who emigrated to the United States as children, planned and carried out the bombings in retaliation for U.S. involvement in Muslim countries.

The Boston Marathon bombing is the AP Sports Story of the Year. Authorities say brothers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, pictured at left, set off two pressure cooker bombs near the finish line of the annual race. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured in the April 15 bombing.

The marathon attack received 761 points and 67 first-place votes. It was also second in AP’s national/international story of the year poll.

The No. 2 sports story, Lance Armstrong’s admission of doping, had five first-place votes

and 517 points.

The top five stories were grim: terrorism, performance-enhancing drug use, legal settlements, murder charges. The first onfield action came in at No. 6 — the Boston Red Sox’s worst-tofirst World Series title, though

even that was tinged by the city’s heartache less than seven months earlier.

SHREVEPOR T, La. (AP) — B.J. Denker threw for 275 yards and two touchdowns, Ka’Deem Carey rushed for 169 yards and two touchdowns and Arizona had an easy time Tuesday in beating Boston College 42-19 in the Advocare V100 Bowl.

Arizona (8-5) never trailed, leading 21-6 by halftime and 42-6 early in the fourth quarter. Carey had his 16th straight game with at least 100 yards rushing while Denker added a 14-yard touchdown run.

The game was billed as a matchup between two of the nation’s top running backs — Arizona’s Carey and Boston College’s Andre Williams. But the duel between AP All-America See RUSH, Page B2

The for mer Florida Gator said Tuesday he trains five days a week for a r etur n to the league.

“I feel like I’m the best that I’ve ever been as a quarterback right now. I hope I get the opportunity to show that,” he said. “But I’m also looking forwar d to being part of ‘SEC Nation’ and part of ESPN.” The 26-year-old Heisman T r ophy winner

spectators lining the streets at a storied big-city marathon were once a wholesome scene of civic pride and friendly support. April’s attack came as a haunting reminder that the crowds at a high-profile event are also a vulnerable target. Bag searches and metal detectors were a common sight at games the rest of the year. As victims persevere on prosthetic limbs, the 118th edition of the world’s oldest marathon is set for the spring, with security undoubtedly heightened but runners determined to take part.

2. LANCE ARMSTRONG: The disgraced cyclist was also the No. 2 sports story last year. In 2012, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency stripped him of his record seven Tour de France titles, releasing mounds of evidence that he used PEDs to win them. In January,

Williams, who won the Doak Walker Award over Carey, was held to 75 yards rushing and a touchdown. Boston College (7-6) didn’t score a until touchdown Williams’ 4-yard run early in the fourth quarter.

Arizona’s Nate Phillips caught nine passes for 193 yards while redshirt freshman Trey Griffey — the son of former baseball star Ken Griffey Jr. — caught two touchdown passes. Arizona’s six touchdowns tied an Advocare V100 Bowl record.

The Eagles’ secondary struggled to contain Arizona’s receivers, who repeatedly found space in the defense. Boston College’s Alex Amidon caught 10 passes for 129 yards and Nate Freese made field goals from 32 and 41 yards to cap a 20 for 20 season.

after years of defiant denials, Armstrong finally admitted it, telling Oprah Winfrey: “It’s this myth, this perfect story, and it wasn’t true.”

3. NFL CONCUSSION SETTLEMENT: The NFL’s settlement of lawsuits brought by thousands of for mer players will cost the league $765 million but won’t end the turmoil over head injuries in football — or the litigation. The retirees, who had accused the NFL of concealing the long-term dangers of concussions, will be eligible for compensation for certain neurological ailments. The league did not admit to any wrongdoing after mediation resulted in a settlement in August.

Both teams took to the air early. Denker completed 8 of 12 passes for 145 yards in the first half, including a 26-yard touchdown pass to Griffey late in the second quarter that gave the Wildcats their 21-6 halftime lead. Griffey’s two touchdowns were the first of his career.

Boston College looked much less comfortable throwing. Chase Rettig tossed two first-half interceptions, including one that was returned by Arizona’s William Parks for a 69-yard touchdown.

Denker was named the game’s Most Valuable Player on offense while Parks won defensive honors.

Carey had 116 of his 169 yards rushing in the second half. The Wildcats pushed ahead 28-6 early in the third quarter after a long drive ended with Carey’s second touchdown — a 5-yard run up the middle.

with an arbitrator yet to rule. In July, Ryan Braun, the 2011 NL MVP who had previously denied using banned substances, accepted a 65-game suspension.

5. HERNANDEZ ARREST: On Jan. 20, New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez had nine catches for 83 yards in an AFC championship game loss to Baltimore. Just more than five months later, he was charged with murder. Prosecutors accuse him of shooting a friend to death on a secluded gravel road for talking to the wrong people at a nightclub. Hernandez awaits trial amid revelations of a history of violence by the player.

Tebow

That is, of course, if Tebow doesn’t get a call from the NFL that has him tied up that weekend.

“I’m not sure what’s ahead of me,” Tebow said. “I’m very excited to have this opportunity at ESPN, but who knows what the next few months will hold.”

Tebow has bounced around the NFL since leaving Florida as part of two national champions.

He was a first-round selection by Denver and then head coach Josh McDaniels in 2010. He took over as starting quarterback mid-season in 2011 became one of the NFL’s biggest stories as he went 71 in his first eight starts in 2011 then threw an 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime to give the Broncos a 29-23 playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.

down the lineup throughout the playoffs, the Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals in six games for their third World Series title in a decade.

7. RAVENS SUPER: The power came back on, and Baltimore held on. Ravens coach John Harbaugh beat younger brother Jim’s San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in the Super Bowl in an unprecedented sibling showdown. But the game will be remembered most for the 34-minute outage at the Superdome in New Orleans. Baltimore star linebacker Ray Lewis rode into retirement with a ring.

8. AWESOME AUBURN: The Tigers’ turnaround from a 3-9 record to the national title game was stunning enough. Even more shocking was how they did it. A deflected 73-yard touchdown pass with 25 seconds left gave Auburn a 43-38 win over Georgia on Nov. 16. The play that ended their next game will go down as one of the most memorable in college football history: Chris Davis’ retur n of a missed field goal

his passing ability, and Denver traded him that offseason to the New York Jets after acquiring Peyton Manning.

He languished on the bench while coach Rex R yan ignor ed fans’ calls for Tebow to replace a struggling Mark Sanchez. Tebow threw just eight passes, ran only 32 times and was cut last April 29.

For six weeks no team wanted him until the Patriots signed him to a low-risk, two-year contract with no guaranteed money.

“I don’t have any regrets” about the NFL, Tebow said. “I’ve just tried to focus on being a better quarterback, being a better athlete and being ready whenever a team gave me a call.”

T ebow said he’s spoken with several friends who are analysts, including his for mer coach at Florida in Urban Meyer, who worked for ESPN between his time with the Gators and his current position as Ohio State head coach.

Worse for Virginia Tech, which entered the game ranked No. 4 in the nation in total defense, was that the Bruins rushed for 202 yar ds in the first half.

That already was the most rushing yards the Hokies had given up in a game this season. UCLA fin-

attempt more than 100 yards to beat No. 1 Alabama 34-28.

9. TE’O HOAX: Heisman Trophy runner-up Manti Te’o struggled in Notre Dame’s lopsided loss to Alabama in the national title game Jan. 7. Nine days later, his name became forever linked to a most bizarre sports story.

That tragic tale about his girlfriend’s death told over and over as the linebacker starred for an undefeated team? She didn’t exist. Te’o insisted he was duped into believing the woman he never met in person was real.

10. HEAT TITLE: One more free throw or one more defensive rebound, and the San Antonio Spurs prevent Miami from repeating as champion. Instead, Ray Allen made one of the biggest shots in NBA Finals history, knocking down a second-chance 3-pointer with 5 seconds left to send Game 6 to overtime. The Heat won in the extra period and again in Game 7 to give LeBron James another title.

Justin Connolly, ESPN senior vice president for college networks pr ogramming, said T ebow was important enough to ESPN that the network accepted he might not be finished with the NFL. “In terms of specific situations, I don’t want to get ahead of ourselves and comment on any particular eventuality or scenario that you could put together,” Connolly said. “But that’s a key piece of this relationship and we’re going to honor that and respect it.”

Connolly was asked on Tuesday's conference call if Tebow's faith — he's a noted speaker who's gained followers and critics for sharing his religious beliefs — might enter into his analysis. Connolly stressed Tebow was hired for his inside knowledge of football and the SEC. "That's what the audience expects from him," Connolly said.

ished with 250 yards.

The Bruins struck first on Hundley’s 7-yard TD run in the first quarter.

That capped a six-play, 74-yard drive that opened the game.

After an exchange of punts, Virginia T ech answered with J.C. Cole-

Changing Ideas of Space and Time

Earthshaking Technology photo courtesy NPS

The printing press

For more than 5,000 years, people relied on big animals for transport. In the 1850s, the train transformed transportation. It conquered the problem of distance. This steam locomotive is at a national historic site, Steamtown, Pa.

art by Jost Amman

All of a sudden, in what seems like the blink of an eye, the world can change forever. A few inventions have had such a powerful effect that they changed the way people think and act.

The printing press, steam power, the telegraph and the computer were giant forces for change. Thousands of other inventions sped along behind them, changing the world in smaller ways.

These super-powerful inventions allowed knowledge to fly from person to person in ways never seen before.

They closed distances between people.

The Mini Page talked with an expert on the history of technology to learn more about these revolutionary inventions.

After suffering a concussion, breaking his foot and injuring his knee, Russ Smith wanted to leave the University of Louisville his freshman year and go back home to Brooklyn.

Instead, he decided to tough it out. Good thing. After that rocky beginning, Smith has rocketed to college basketball stardom.

He helped Louisville win the national title last year, averaging 22.3 points in the NCAA tournament, and made third-team All-America. The senior guard is expected to lead the Cardinals again this season. .ICKNAMED h2USSDICULOUSv FOR HIS UNCONVENTIONAL MOVES 3MITH ALSO HAS an outgoing personality and sense of humor.

On a more serious note, Smith lists English as his favorite academic SUBJECT AND SAYS THAT h7ORK HARDER EVERY DAYv IS THE BEST ADVICE HE HAS received. Staying at Louisville and working harder has paid off.

Changes in Thought The scientific revolution

Steam travel

In 1800, it might have taken five or six days to travel from New York City to Washington, D.C., by horseback or stagecoach. By the 1830s, steam-powered trains allowed people to make the journey in less than a day at an affordable price.

Steamboats allowed people to travel up and down a river and cross the ocean more quickly.

In 1814 steamboats could travel about 8 Steamboats and steam locomotives miles per hour downstream and about 3 miles per hour upstream, about as fast as gave people the ability to move themselves and goods into remote a person can walk.

Bringing the World Together Fast communication

photo courtesy LOC

A telegraph operator prints a telegram in about 1908.

The Mini Page thanks William G. Thomas III, chair, University of Nebraska-Lincoln department of history, and author of the adult-level book “The Iron Way,� for help with this issue.

Next week, The Mini Page takes a look at the new year with a 2014 calendar.

When the first complete telegraph line was laid in 1844, instant communication was possible for the first time in history. News could spread across the country in moments.

By 1850, cities and small towns in the United States were connected by TELEGRAPH LINES "Y A TELEGRAPH cable was successfully run on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. People could now instantly communicate with people in other countries as well.

Computer programmers for ENIAC had to physically reprogram it by inserting cables into plug boards.

ENIAC could not store programs.

ENIAC was designed

by John Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert at the University of Pennsylvania. ENIAC weighed 30 tons and filled a room the size of a school gym.

Changing time and space

Computers change the world

Together, steam engines and the telegraph changed the way people thought about time and space. The world seemed to shrink. People in the 1800s understood that new technology was changing the world.

It was an exciting time. )N THE FIRST TRANSCONTINENTAL railroad was completed, connecting the United States from coast to coast.

People could transport goods across the country, and they could travel easily. They were no longer stuck in one region for their whole lives. People could reach the frontier without months of dangerous travel.

Homesteaders rushed to settle the land in the West.

These changes were not all good.

The railroad also meant that men could be rushed to battlefields during the Civil War, and it sped up the removal of Native Americans from their homelands.

With the invention of computers, everything changed again. The Internet connects people on one side of the planet to those on the other.

The first general-purpose electronic digital computer, the ENIAC, or Electronic Numerical Integrator and #ALCULATOR WAS BUILT IN &OR the first time, computers could be programmed to solve many different PROBLEMS "Y THE )NTERNET WAS up and running.

We are still at the beginning of the computer revolution. Computerdriven robots are performing surgeries. Computers can respond to eye blinks, turning on the TV or turning up the heat for people who are paralyzed. Computers are running the Mars Curiosity rover.

Can you imagine what the world might be like when you are grown up?

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR READERS: Welcome to 2014! It seems like the world spins faster every year. With each new year comes our chance for a new beginning. It’s an opportunity to discard destructive old habits and create healthy new ones. With that in mind, I will share my often-requested list of New Year’s resolutions that were adapted by my mother, Pauline Phillips, from the original credo of AlAnon:

JUST FOR TODAY: I will live through this day only. I will not brood about yesterday or obsess about tomorrow. I will not set

far-reaching goals or try to overcome all of my problems at once. I know that I can do something for 24 hours that would overwhelm me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will be happy. I will not dwell on thoughts that depress me. If my mind fills with clouds, I will chase them away and fill it with sunshine.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will accept what is. I will face reality. I will correct those things that I can correct and accept those I cannot.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will improve my mind. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. I will not be a mental loafer.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will make a conscious effort to be agreeable. I will be kind and courteous to those who cross my path, and I’ll not speak ill of others. I will improve my appearance, speak softly, and not interrupt when someone else is talking.

COMICS

JUST FOR TODAY: I will refrain from improving anybody but myself.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will do something positive to improve my health. If I’m a smoker, I’ll quit. If I am overweight, I will eat healthfully — if only for today. And not only that, I will get off the couch and take a brisk walk, even if it’s only around the block.

JUST FOR TODAY: I will gather the courage to do what is right and take the responsibility for my own actions.

And now, Dear Readers, I would like to share an item that was sent to me by I.J. Bhatia, a reader from New Delhi, India: DEAR ABBY: This year, no resolutions, only some guidelines. The Holy Vedas say: “Man has subjected himself to thousands of self-inflicted bondages. Wisdom comes to a man who lives according to the true eternal laws of nature.”

The prayer of St. Francis (of which

The Wizard of Id

there are several versions) contains a powerful message: “Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; “Where there is hatred, let me sow love; “Where there is injury, pardon; “Where there is doubt, faith; “Where there is despair, hope; “Where there is darkness, light; “And where there is sadness, joy.

“Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; “To be understood, as to understand; “To be loved, as to love; “For it is in giving that we receive, “It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, “And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”

And so, Dear Readers, may this new year bring with it good health, peace and joy to all of you.

LOVE, ABBY

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Dear Readers: ARTICHOKES are delicious vegetables, and one of my favorites!

They are low-calorie, fat-free, cholesterol-free and a good source of fiber.

However, some people are a little intimidated about how to buy, cook and eat one.

Pick them up and choose the heaviest ones. Look for a nice, green, healthy color, with compact leaves.

You can boil, steam, bake or grill artichokes and serve them with your favorite dipping sauce or, of course, in melted butter or mayonnaise, both of which are tasty but do add some fat and calories. I like to use fat-free ranch or blue-cheese salad dressing.

To eat the cooked artichoke, start by pulling off the outermost leaves, and dip the base (the fat part at the end) into dipping sauce. Now the fun part: Pull the petal through your teeth, getting the tasty part off. When you have pulled all the petals off, you are to the “prize” — the heart.

Remove the fuzzy choke from around the heart by scooping it with a spoon, then cut up the heart and enjoy the reward of your hard work!

Dear Heloise: How do you store rice, and for how long?

J.P. in California

Well, you’ve probably heard somewhere that white rice is one of those foods that can be kept forever, but that is not really true. Because of the lack of moisture in white rice, it can last a long time. If stored in a sealed container and kept in a dark, dry, cool place, white rice can last for three years or more.

However, brown rice is different, and will not last nearly as long as white rice. Typically, brown rice is good for about six months or so. You can store it in the refrigerator, though, and it will last longer.

Dear Heloise: Instead of buying a special roasting vertical pan for whole chickens, I simply use my fluted cake pan. I spray the pan with cooking oil, then sit the chicken upright in the pan, with the centerpiece of the pan resting inside the chicken and holding it.

The juices collect in the ring of the pan, and the chicken roasts beautifully.

Nicole L. in Indiana

Dear Heloise: I had baked a cake to take to work. As I was getting ready to leave the house, I realized I didn’t have a carrier to put the cake in. I grabbed one of my large glass bowls with a lid. I turned the lid upside down, placed the cake on it and then covered it with the upside-down glass bowl. It made a perfect carrier!

Katharine W., via email Dear Heloise: I reuse empty frosting containers to store cupcake wrappers. I label the outside of the container with the theme of the cupcake wrappers inside (for example, Christmas, Halloween, birthday, etc.).
