Rally held for more checks on gun buyers

SANTA FE (AP) — A 12year -old duck hunter joined Santa Fe’s police chief and about 100 gun safety advocates on Wednesday at a rally outside the Capitol in support of a proposal to require criminal background checks of more people who buy firearms at gun shows.

Backers of the measure want Republican Gov. Susana Martinez to add the gun proposal to the agenda of the Legislature’s 30-day session. They submitted

about 4,000 petition signatures to the gover nor’s office.

Enrique Knell, a spokesman for the governor, said no decision has been made on the measure, although Martinez backed similar legislation last year.

Lawmakers are restricted to considering the budget, taxes and other bills allowed by the governor.

The legislation would require background checks for firear ms purchased from private sellers at gun

shows. Federal law already provides for those checks for sales by licensed dealers in their stores and at gun shows.

Supporters said the measure could help reduce gun violence.

“I want to be safe. My friends want to be safe,” said Ulysses Yarbrough, a sixth-grader from Santa Fe who described himself as a “safe and responsible gun owner” who hunts ducks with his father.

Santa Fe Police Chief

Ray Rael said the proposal wasn’t a gun contr ol measure.

“I think this is more of a people control bill. It’s an effort to try to keep people who shouldn’t have guns away from guns and keep the guns out of their hands. I think it’s common sense,” Rael said.

Similar legislation passed the House last year but stalled in the Senate.

Opponents contend the proposed background checks won’t stop shoot-

He pointed out that legally purchased firearms were used in mass killings in 2012 at a Connecticut school and a movie theater shooting in Colorado.

It’s legal in New Mexico to openly carry loaded firear ms in most public places, including the Capitol. However, Rep. Brian Egolf, a Santa Fe Democrat, said an effort will be made to change legislative rules to stop guns from being in the Capitol.

Roswell Leadership Alumni Association will hold its 31st Candidate Forum for the residents of Roswell Monday, Feb. 3, at the First Baptist Church, 500 N. Pennsylvania Ave. The participants include City Council candidates for Ward 1: Dusty Huckabee and Natasha Mackey; Ward 2: Jerry Heck, Caleb Grant and James Andrew MacCornack; Ward 3: Art Sandoval and Joe Green; Ward 4: Jason Perry; and Ward 5: Barry Foster and Tabitha Denny. The two mayoral candidates, incumbent Del Jurney and former State Rep. Dennis Kintigh, will also face off.

The event starts at 6:30 p.m. However, each candidate will set a table with campaign literature at 6 p.m. The Candidate Forum is sponsored by the Roswell Daily Record and the First Baptist Church. It will be

broadcast on Channel 75.

Judy Stubbs, former city councilor and past president of Leadership Roswell, explained that the Candidate Forum is not a debate.

A panel prepares questions appropriate to the position, and each candidate is given a chance to respond.

The date is set to provide candidates the opportunity to meet with voters before early voting, which begins on Feb. 12.

“Our goal is to present candidates in a positive light. Rick Kraft will act as moderator, as he has done since its inception,” said Stubbs.

Kraft is not only a graduate of Leadership Roswell, he is also the volunteer executive director for the LR Alumni Association.

The wards will be paired off. The wards will also be ordered randomly rather than numerically. Mayoral candidates will speak last.

Group threatens to Panel reviews Navajo gambling compact sue over river flows

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A Western environmental group is threatening to sue Colorado, saying its management and allocation of water in the San Luis Valley is putting New Mexico’s stretch of the Rio Grande at risk.

WildEarth Guardians delivered its notice of intent to sue this week. The Santa Fe-based group points to a two-month review of the river’s flows at the state line, arguing that flood irrigation soaks up most of the water that makes its way into the Rio Grande from snowpack in Colorado’s San Juan Mountains before it crosses

into New Mexico.

What’s left is a small amount for downstream users and endangered species such as the Rio Grande silvery minnow and the Southwestern willow flycatcher, the group said. With limited flows, the environmentalists argue the species’ habitat is being compromised and the federal Endangered Species Act is being violated.

Carolyn Tyler, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Attorney General’s Office, said Wednesday that the office just received the notice and had yet to review it.

SANTA FE (AP) — A proposed gambling compact with the Navajo Nation ran into opposition Wednesday from other tribes and pueblos in New Mexico because it would allow the Navajos to open additional casinos.

In testimony to a legislative committee, leaders from Laguna and Acoma pueblos and the Jicarilla Apache Nation said that more casinos would dilute their share of a saturated gambling market, possibly forcing them to cut tribal services and reduce the workers in their casinos.

“We rely on gaming revenues to operate tribal government,” Acoma Gov.

Fred Vallo said.

Navajo President Ben Shelly defended the compact negotiated with Gov. Susana Martinez’s administration. The proposal would allow the tribe to open three additional casinos over 15 years.

“We need economic development and employment,” Shelly said.

Navajo Nation Council Delegate LoRenzo Bates told lawmakers that the tribe had no definite plans for opening future casinos in New Mexico.

The Committee on Compacts will hold a meeting at a later date to consider whether to recommend its approval by the House and

Snowstorm grounds flights, shutters schools NEW YORK (AP) — Northeasterners scraped and shoveled Wednesday after a snowstorm grounded flights, shuttered schools and buried roads with a surprising amount of snow, leaving biting cold in its wake. The atmosphere was particularly frosty in New York, where the new mayor acknowledged flaws in the cleanup and some residents complained that schools remained open while children elsewhere in the

region stayed home.

The stor m stretched from Kentucky to New England but hit hardest along the heavily populated Interstate 95 corridor between Philadelphia and Boston. As much as 14 inches of snow fell in Philadelphia, with New York City seeing almost as much, and parts of Massachusetts were socked with as many as 18 inches. Temperatures were in the single digits or the teens in many places

Wednesday.

The storm was blamed for at least one death — a driver was ejected from a car that fishtailed into the path of a tractor -trailer on a snow-covered Maryland road — and might have claimed more lives.

Authorities were investigating three suspected weather-related deaths in Pennsylvania’s Delaware County, outside Philadelphia; a preliminary investigation showed weather conditions played a role in

a two-vehicle crash that killed two people in Prince George’s County, Md.; and police said the storm may have factored in a deadly tractor -trailer wreck in Frederick County, Va. Schools were closed in Boston, Philadelphia and many other places on the Eastern Seaboard. Federal workers in Washington got a two-hour delay in their work days Wednesday after a day off Tuesday because of the snow.

The proposed agreement needs approval from the Legislature and the U.S. Interior Department before it can take effect.

The Navajos operate two Las Vegas-style casinos in New Mexico under terms of a compact expiring in 2015. The tribe has a third casino with low-stakes gambling not subject to state regulation Sen. Clemente Sanchez, a Grants Democrat and committee member, said in an interview that he wanted tribal and state officials to go back to the negotiating table to limit the Navajos to their current casinos.

See FORUM, Page A3

New Mexico received about $71 million from tribal casinos last year.

The Navajos and the Martinez administration negotiated a proposed compact last year, but the House and Senate didn’t vote on it.

Martinez general counsel Jessica Hernandez said negotiators revamped the proposal to address concerns raised by the Interior Department and lawmakers.

Last year’s proposed compact would have allowed the Navajos to operate five Las Vegasstyle casinos — three in addition to its current two.

DA ‘surprised’ by decision in state officer shooting

SANTA FE (AP) — A district attorney investigating a state police officer who shot and killed a Santa Fe woman says she’s surprised a grand jury ruled that the shooting was justified.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, First Judicial District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco said she presented a full day of testimony from multiple sources, and within 50 minutes, the grand jury had made its decision, the Santa Fe New Mexican reports.

The decision comes as the New Mexico State Police Department is under scrutiny for how it investigates its own officers in shootings, and for three recent high-profile shootings by officers.

A Santa Fe County grand jury last week found that state police officer Oliver Wilson was justified when he shot and killed Jeanette Anaya, 39, after a high-speed chase in November.

The lawyer for Anaya’s family, Tom Clark, has repeatedly asked for an independent investigation. Wilson fired his weapon 16 times, striking Anaya twice.

Video of the incident shows that at one point, Wilson was chasing after Anaya’s vehicle on foot and firing toward it as she tried to drive away.

The state police’s Investigations Bureau is responsible for investigating when one of its officers is involved in a shooting in all but Bernalillo County, said Lt. Emmanuel Gutierrez. In Bernalillo County, a “shot

team” made up of officers from various agencies investigates an officer shooting, Gutierrez said.

“We have a robust Investigations Bureau that (is) trained in doing these kinds of shootings,” he said. “We have the equipment, we have the crime scene team, and we’re able to investigate these (cases) fully and submit this to the District Attorney’s Office.”

Pacheco said she has brought up her concerns about the New Mexico State Police investigating its own officers.

“I also told them that in the case of the Oliver Wilson shooting, I said, ‘This case is going to be very closely scrutinized, so you better make sure you do everything above and beyond,’” she said Pacheco said she did not see anything improper about the state police’s investigation into Wilson.

Thomas J. Aveni, a former police trainer and current director of the Police Policy Studies Council, a New Hampshire-based group that studies law enforcement’s use of force, said that in some states, the Attorney General’s Office has teams to handle officer-involved shootings. In New Mexico, he said, either the Attorney General’s Office could do a parallel investigation, or the Santa Fe Police Department could have been called in.

“I would’ve thought there would be an indictment,” Aveni said. “But it’s hard to get an indictment on a police officer.”

LEGISLATIVE SESSION GETS UNDER WAY SANTA FE — This week, the second session of the 51st New Mexico Legislature gets started. Nearly 300 measures were pre-filed for the “short” session.

T h i s y e a r, t h e r e ’ s a projected $293 million surplus in funds, which will make the budget process — the main assignment for all 30day sessions — a bit easier on lawmakers.

For small communities in New Mexico, Gov. Susana Martinez has proposed spending an

additional $112 million on local water development projects and is advocating for greater financial incentives to get more health-care professionals working in small towns and rural clinics around the state.

Other issues, from the legalization of marijuana to the outlawing of same-sex marriages, are also on the table in the form of proposed constitutional amendments. If passed legislatively, that would then go before New Mexico voters in

Change in weather could bring moisture

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — It has been a month since New Mexico’s largest city has had any rain or snow, and more than one-third of the state continues to be entangled in severe to extreme drought.

Temperatures have been unseasonably warm and dry, but forecasters with the National Weather Service say that’s about to change.

A mass of cold air is expected to reach the northeast part of the state Wednesday night. It’s expected to press west and south through Thursday and bring with it some moisture.

Forecasters say the upslope precipitation isn’t looking significant, but anything will help.

As for snowpack in New Mexico’s mountain ranges, every basin — except for the high Sangre de Cristos and the headwaters of the Pecos River — are worse off than last year.

Charter school classes canceled amid ‘threat’

campus and no students have been injured nor specifically threatened.

Officials say a student sent a text to a fellow student early Wednesday warning the student not to go to school “something was going to happen.”

Gutierrez says investigators are looking into the validity of the threat.

He says no arrests were made.

School is scheduled to resume Thursday.

WNMU facing layoffs, cuts amid budget crunch

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Western New Mexico University is facing layoffs, higher tuition and consolidation of classes amid a budget crunch.

The Albuquerque Journal reports that the Silver City-based university plans to slash spending by 4 percent and eliminate less popular courses.

WNMU President Joseph Shepard says the changes are needed because a projected 5 percent increase in student enrollment did not materialize. He says the university by the end of this month will cut spending for the remainder of this budget year by more than $1.3 million.

Of ficials say cuts will probably be a combination of layoffs and letting some vacancies remain unfilled.

STATE BRIEFS

Thursday, January 23, 2014

A for mer deputy to Gov. Susana Martinez has joined the race for New Mexico attorney general.

Susan Riedel, who was Martinez’s chief deputy district attor ney in Las Cruces, said Wednesday she will seek the GOP nomination. Riedel was a prosecutor for 25 years in Albuquerque and Las Cruces before Martinez appointed her to a state district judgeship. But she lost an election last year to retain the seat.

Earlier this month, Albuquerque attorney Jim Baiamonte became the first Republican candidate in the race to replace Democrat Gary King, who is running for governor.

Ninth Judicial District Attorney Matt Chandler, who lost to King in 2014, says he isn’t planning a run this cycle as he is focused on several high profile cases and opening a private civil practice.

Bernalillo County officials criticize critical report

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Bernalillo County officials are critical of a report that’s critical of the county.

The report prepared by a consultant hired and since terminated by the county finds many faults with the county’s criminal justice system.

Those include jail crowding that the report blames on large numbers of nonviolent offenders jailed after being arrested for minor crimes.

She invites everyone to come and observe, but they will not have time for questions from the audience.

LRAA is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization made up of the graduates of Leadership Roswell. In the past 16 years, the Candidate Forum has presented 326 candidates for 160 different positions. Forums cover city, county, state and federal candidates in both primary and general elections.

others operate in Hungary, Thailand, Botswana and El Salvador. Along with training, the institutions also foster relationships among international law enforcement agencies.

ILEA-Roswell changed direction last year and began providing graduatelevel courses that specialized in international crime, management courses in criminal justice, legal and regulatory workshop facilitation and criminal policy program development.

The academy’s academic dean, Lili Johnson, has worked with the delegates for the past 12 days.

“We have discovered we have more similarities than differences,” Johnson said.

“We’re all dedicated to one proposition, and that is the cause of justice. We’re making the network of justice between our four countries stronger.”

Speakers for the countries offered appreciation and background about their delegates.

“We are known as the country of eternal spring,”

said Edwin Leonel Mendez Ordonez, of Guatemala.

“We thank the City of Roswell, the State of New Mexico and America for having honored us to be able to belong to the great family of ILEA and to be a part of the class of delegate 4,000.”

Ordonez said the knowledge received would be used to combat national and transnational crimes.

Aldo Edmundo Macre Quijada, the senior ranking commissioner of the police of Panama, said the City of Roswell seemed very nice, with wide streets.

“Since we’ve gotten here, we haven’t been able to get out of Walmart, Walgreens and Marshalls,” Quijada joked. “We appreciate the hospitality we’ve been given.”

The academy expects to graduate 10 sessions per year, with 35 students attending each. Attendance is coveted at the Roswell program. Those who do graduate can now stay in touch with new systems and share information.

SANTA FE (AP) — Raphael, an emaciated stray dog whose progress has been monitored by thousands of Santa Fe Animal Shelter Facebook fans, has lymphoma, shelter officials said Wednesday.

The cancer diagnosis comes after the dog had been making steady progress, going from 45 pounds when he was found in October to more than 80 pounds last month when he was released to a foster home.

Based on Raphael’s

daily improvements, shelter officials had been optimistic. Last week, however, a swelling appeared near his shoulder and tissue samples revealed the lymphoma. Weight loss can be a symptom of the illness.

Shelter spokesman Ben Swan said the dog is happy, but has lost 5 pounds in the past week.

Swan says Raphael will remain in hospice care at his current foster home.

Envy, bad data confuse poverty issue A4 Thursday, January 23, 2014

HAROLD MORGAN NEW MEXICO PROGRESS The forbidden dinner table topics are sex, politics and money, as I remember. Money—having it and not having it—has been getting pundit pontification recently in reaction to the 50-year anniversary of Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty.

I have little experience with really serious money. My upbringing and my adult life have been fairly middle class. I have attended a few events where, as I said after one, “You can smell the money.” But I have never thought much about the money, one way or the other, good or bad. Ideas have always been more important.

The most recent financial association came when State Treasurer candidate Tim Eichenberg put me in the same sentence with the Koch brothers of Wichita, Kansas.

The brothers, most of you may

know, are very big money supporters of conservative causes.

Eichenberg was defending his “progressive” (i.e., left wing) bona fides against my argument that the progressive policy agenda of John Wertheim, also a State T reasurer candidate, did not apply to being treasurer. The Koch aura was something! I don’t know if my ego can stand it.

In New Mexico we have plenty of poverty and not all that much massive wealth. Sure, we have the occasional financier or movie star tucked in the piñons. But not the concentration found around New

York.

Home prices offer one wealth measure. In metro Albuquerque, 30 homes sold for $1 million or more last year, up from 21 in 2012. For another measure, Phoenix Marketing International (www.phoenixmi.com) places New Mexico 27th among states for 2013 with 4.65 percent of households having more than $1 million in investable assets. Oddly (to me) this percentage has increased for five years.

Some poverty reflects choice.

Living in the middle of nowhere without electricity or running water predisposes one to poverty, however many centuries one’s family has lived in that particular nowhere.

Some of the rest of poverty reflects definition. Washington Post columnist Robert Samuelson asks unwanted questions. He wrote recently that “the share of Americans below the of ficial

poverty line has barely budged” in 30 years. “The trouble is that the official poverty rate is a lousy indicator of people’s well being.”

Taking consumption into account, 5 percent is a better estimate of people in poverty, he says, not the received wisdom of 15 percent.

Michael Cox, then of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, said pretty much the same thing in 1999.

As with the “war” on drugs, “war” on poverty is the wrong metaphor because as a society we are not going to respond with the total devotion of resources theoretically required by a war.

On Jan. 10 on the PBS show “Washington Week,” Gwen Ifill introduced the poverty discussion with, “Let’s take a longer view on income inequality.” In so doing she conflates the policy issue of a few people making mega money with the policy issue of a lot of people making little money. It’s a

leap, I know, but it conjures images of the French Revolution.

Thomas Paine regarded slaughtering the Bastille defenders as a detail.

President Obama does the same thing. Income inequality is reportedly a planned theme of the State of Union address.

Envy ties the topics. In Democracy in America, Alexis de Tocqueville observed, “It cannot be denied that democratic institutions strongly tend to promote the feeling of envy in the human heart. … Democratic institutions awaken and foster a passion for equality they can never entirely satisfy.”

Poverty is a huge, difficult problem that can only be addressed through mothers being married, education (finishing high school) and the like. But playing to the envy factor is more than a disservice. It might be dangerous.

Majority can’t take property rights in zeal to stop fracking

America’s new oil boom promises peace and prosperity. More energy means more jobs, higher incomes and better-funded governments. Only a breach of civil liberties — only a plan for mob rule — threatens the potential.

President Barack Obama flaunted the oil boom during his weekend address last Saturday as an example of this country’s promise under his reign.

“For the first time in nearly two decades, we produce more oil here at home than we buy from the rest of the world,” Obama said Jan. 18.

Oil production has increased more than 21 percent during Obama’s presidency.

Meanwhile, the amount of federal land leased for production has decreased by 17 percent — largely because of Obama’s policies.

The oil boom Obama applauds comes mostly from fracking on private land. Take private leases from the equation and we’re right back to creepy alliances and wars that come with foreign oil dependence.

We need oil independence if we are to afford pursuits of wind, solar and other sustainable energy. Energy is essential to creation of wealth, which is crucial to human life. Even the old, the ill, the unemployed and the idle-poor cannot survive without oilintensive economic activity that funds government.

The North Dakota energy boom consists of one federal lease. Nearly all the windfall comes from production on private lands.

Unemployment has remained below 4 percent for years.

If the American oil boom continues, this country will produce more oil than Saudi Arabia within the next six years.

The only threat is a growing Not-In-MyBack-Yard zeal that challenges a fundamental civil liberty.

The Constitution protects freedom so our country can innovate, produce, trade, prosper and progress. Protection of speech means a majority cannot take from an individual the right to communicate, even in ways that offend or frighten others. A majority cannot take guns from blacks, Latinos, or rednecks. Majorities cannot take basic rights from private parties without proving extraordinary cause on a case-by-case basis.

The Constitution’s protection of property rights is no less sacred than protection of religion or speech. It prevents governments and majorities from depriving individuals of private property without due process and reasonable compensation. Successful deprivation involves due process and money.

Those who want to peacefully control another’s property have the opportunity to buy it. Communities control sprawl by negotiating acquisition of private tracts and setting them aside. Those communities with the financial means can use the same maneuver to stop fracking on oil-rich properties.

But a group called Colorado Community Rights Network would prefer mob rule. The organization is busy this week organizing a petition that would ask Colorado voters to amend the Colorado Constitution in November. They hope the amendment would somehow, in conflict with federal property protections, establish opportunity for communities to ban fracking on private land by force. At least four Colorado communities have already tried, in direct defiance of the law.

Of course communities will choose to control private property if given a legal option.

Collective reallocation of control benefits recipients who endure little or no personal expense. Besides, most communities would rather enjoy energy that’s produced at the burden of someone else in some distant place.

Americans have a constitutional right to make use of private property. It’s a good thing, as that civil liberty has protected new oil production this country desperately needs. Refuse to sign a petition that seeks to quash fundamental liberty at a devastating cost to progress, jobs, national sovereignty and economic welfare. Say no to mob rule.

Is this any way to treat the job creators?

The Labor Department’s December Jobs Report was disastrous—with the 74,000 jobs gain falling far short of the 205,000 jobs forecast. The New York T imes declared: “Just when it seemed as if the economy was finally accelerating, the latest employment figures once again confounded expectation of better days ahead.”

With even the friendlies firing shots, the White House tried to get out in front of the story by holding a Tuesday, Jan. 14, meeting with the Cabinet, where President Obama aimed to pick up “the pace of his jobs message.” According to the Associated Press (AP), White House senior advisor Dan Pfeiffer sent out an email Tuesday

DEAR DOCTOR K: How and why does a scar for m after injury or surgery? Why do some scars last, while others fade over time?

DEAR READER: It’s actually amazing how few scars most people have despite a lifetime of injuries to the skin.

Skin heals in a remarkably complicated process. When you cut yourself (or a surgeon makes an incision), three processes take place in roughly the following order, although they often overlap: — Inflammation. When you cut the skin (or any other tissue), the tiny blood vessels inside the skin start bleeding.

Within seconds of a cut or an incision, cells near the cut send out chemical signals that

morning to the White House list of supporters claiming: “The president will use every tool he can to create jobs and opportunities for the middle class.” The AP article highlights Obama’s “determination to use the power of executive orders and administrative actions.”

I oppose this administration’s fondness for skirting Congress, but here’s a case where an

tell blood vessels to narrow.

This limits bleeding until blood cells (called platelets) can form tiny clots that plug up the ends of the tiny vessels and thereby stop the bleeding.

Additional chemical signals recruit white blood cells and other substances to the injured area. These white blood cells release a flood of chemical factors to relax blood

“executive order or administrative action” could really help.

If President Obama truly wanted to “create jobs and opportunities for the middle class,” he could tell the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) to work with—instead of against—people and companies who are ready to risk their capital in the development of our natural resources and create jobs.

While I am sure my readers could cite many similar stories, this one involves mining and mules. I have addressed this specific case three times before—first, July 2010, when the USFS approved the “Plan of Operation” for the Finley Basin Exploration Project in Montana.

In the ’70s Union Carbide

drilled several exploration holes on the site, “which is rated as having moderate to high mineral potential for the majority of the area.” It is believed that there is a minimum of $250 million in tungsten—which we currently import from China— and that the site also has potential copper, silver, molybdenum, and gold.

When I originally addressed this project, an Australian company wanted to develop the Finley claims. But the USFS was so dif ficult to work with, after spending more that $500,000 over two years, the company finally packed up and went home.

vessels that were not cut and thereby increase blood flow to the injured area. This causes the pain, redness, heat and swelling typical of inflamed tissue. The white blood cells are part of the immune system.

They fight infection and clean up damaged tissue.

— Proliferation. In this stage, cells start to form new blood vessels to replace the ones that were severed by the cut. Skin cells burrow under dead tissue to begin forming a healthy layer of skin. Fibroblasts, specialized cells that are critical to wound healing, produce substances that pull the ends of the wound closer together. The fibroblasts also for m a small scar over the injured area, which protects

the new skin and blood vessels growing underneath it.

— Maturation. The wound gets stronger.

If the two sides of a wound are too far apart, it will take a long time to repair the cut, and it is more likely to leave a scar. That’s why surgeons use sutures (stitches), staples or tape to bring the edges together when they’ve made a wound.

So why are some scars bigger than others? If a wound is “clean” — even, straight, and not contaminated by dirt and bacteria — it will generally heal well. Wounds caused by a surgeon’s knife fall into that category.

How much water does a sprinkler head use?

Roswell Daily Record

Q. Where can I find a formula to convert gallons per minute into inches of water; as in gallons per minute from a lawn sprinkler head covering 100 sq. ft.?

Bob D. Via NMSU University Wide Extension A. A local irrigation supply company may be a good place to find a specific formula for this conversion. Some municipalities may also have information for their utility customers to help them conserve water.

You can calculate the information you need by starting with the fact that a cubic inch of water is 0.00432900433 gallon. A square foot is 12 inches times 12 inches,

The June 10, 2010, “Decision Memo” states that in order to explore the previously drilled sites, miners will have to “use a team of mules” and that “hand tools will be used to level the drilling pad and clear rocks, debris and any small shrubs.” Additionally, “all disturbances would be reclaimed using hand tools.”

While explaining the “rationale” for the decision, the memo states that the company has the “legal right to conduct exploration activities” and that “The role of the Forest Service is to ensure that mining activities minimize adverse environmental effects. Congress has not given the Forest Service authority to unreasonably circumscribe or prohibit reasonably necessary activities under the 1872 General Mining Law that are otherwise lawful.”

After the Australians left, the 276 claims were sold. Together, the new partners in Finley Mining Inc. have more than 80 years experience in mining.

Because the whole mule idea was unfeasible for the size and weight of the required equipment, they submitted a revised Plan of Operations that allowed for use of the existing road. The experienced partners have, in the past two-and-a-half years, submitted five different plans of operation. Each time, the USFS comes back with some new ridiculous questions, such as: “In what order do you plan to drill the holes?”

The frequent excuse revolves around the various regulations—complying with the National Environmental Policy Act, Federal Land Management and Policy Act, and other Environmental Protection Agency rules and regulations. The USFS Specialists claim they are underfunded and understaffed and are unable to do the processes required before granting a permit.

Meanwhile, to hold the claims, these potential job creators, have to pay $40,000 a year to the Bureau of Land Management. They have spent more than $200,000 and jumped through hoops,

Wounds caused by accidents don’t. Such wounds are more likely to be jagged, to contain dirt and bacteria, and to be infected. These wounds are more likely to have been reinjured or reopened after the initial accident. All of these factors tend to increase the chance of a permanent scar.

Finally, some people are born with a tendency to form prominent scars called “keloids.” These scars do tend to get

or 144 square inches. So a square foot of water one inch deep is 144 cubic inches. If you multiply this by 0.00433 gallons per cubic inch the result is 0.624 gallons. You can then multiply this by the area you are irrigating. Since you said 100 square feet it will take 62.4 gallons to cover 100 square feet with one inch of water. With this information you calculate the time vari-

yet they are no further along.

Since the USFS doesn’t have the staff or the budget to comply with the law, despite the hundreds of thousands of dollars they’ve already taken in on this one project, Finley Mining Inc. has offered to hire approved contractors who can do the needed surveys.

This one project would employ 10 people in the initial exploration phase.

Assuming the resource proves up, as the original drilling on these sites indicated, more drilling will take place and, in addition to the drill site workers, biologists, engineers, economists, and geologists will be needed for analysis. If all goes as expected, Finley Mining Inc. projects a minimum of 300 people would be hired for the construction and mining phases.

If the USFS encouraged expansion, rather than enforcing regulations, and managed the forest for the multiple use their mission mandates, the 300 construction workers could now be receiving a paycheck and paying taxes.

If President Obama is serious about using “every tool he can to create jobs and opportunities for the middle class,” instead of appointing a new commission or doing a study, he’d issue an administrative action telling the USFS to comply with the law, to process permits within the 30 days required, and sign of f on the Plan of Operations when it meets the existing requirements.

ous sprinkler heads must operate to supply the required water based on the gallons per minute supplied by the sprinkler heads.

When you are irrigating plants there are other factors that you should consider. Spray or sprinkler irrigation allows for considerable loss of water by evaporation.

The smaller the droplets, the greater the evaporation and the more impact wind will have on

the placement of the irrigation water. This is the reason that drip irrigation is more efficient than sprinkler irrigation in situations where it is appropriate.

Another important fact is that the deposition of water in the zone of irrigation is non-unifor m, so proper design of the irrigation system and placement of sprinklers is important and testing to measure uniformity is important.

Temperature and relative humidity also affect evaporative water loss. The amount of water needed to irrigate plants depends on the type of plants being irrigated, the characteristics of the plants root systems and the type of soil in which the plants are

growing. Season also af fects plants’ water needs. Dormant plants need water, but much less water than plants that are actively growing.

Script in the works for possible new Cosby sitcom NEW YORK (AP) — NBC is confirming that Bill Cosby is developing a possible new sitcom he would star in.

The deal brings the 76-year -old entertainer together with a writing staff to create a script for a comedy that casts Cosby as the patriarch of a multigenerational family.

An NBC spokesman said Wednesday that, as yet, there is no series order, nor even a deal to produce a pilot episode.

Cosby’s gr eatest TV triumph began at NBC three decades ago, when “The Cosby Show” launched in September 1984. It ran for eight seasons.

Less successful was “Cosby,” another sitcom that aired on CBS for four seasons starting in 1996.

His latest TV ventur e is “Bill Cosby: Far From Finished,” a standup comedy special that premiered on Comedy Central in November.

Cosby’s new pr oject was first reported by Deadline Hollywood.

Peace talks stuck over Assad’s future MONTREUX, Switzerland (AP) — Peace talks to carve a path out of Syria’s civil war got off to a rocky start Wednesday as a bitter clash over President Bashar Assad’s future threatened to collapse the negotiations even before they had begun.

The dispute over Assad cast a pall over an international conference that aims to map out a transitional government and ultimately a democratic election for the country mired in fighting that has killed more than 130,000 people and displaced millions.

While diplomats sparred against a pristine Alpine backdrop, Syrian forces and opposition fighters clashed across a wide area from Aleppo and Idlib in the north to Daraa in the south, activists and state media said.

The two sides seemed impossibly far apart just hours into the talks in the Swiss city of Montreux. Complicating matters, both Assad’s dele-

gates and the Westernbacked opposition Syrian Coalition National claimed to speak for the Syrian people.

“We did not expect instant breakthroughs. ...

No one underestimated the difficulties,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Kimoon told reporters at the end of the day. “The Syrian people are looking desperately for relief from the nightmare in which they are trapped.”

A U.N. mediator will meet separately with both Syrian sides on Thursday to see if they can even sit together in face-to-face talks due to begin Friday.

The mediator, Lakhdar Brahimi, said both sides had shown some willingness to bend on humanitarian access and local cease-fires, and he hoped to build on that common ground.

The U.S. and the Syrian opposition opened the conference by saying that Assad lost his legitimacy when he crushed the once-peaceful protest movement against his regime.

Israel says it foiled al-Qaida plot on US Embassy JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel on Wednesday said it had foiled an “advanced” al-Qaida plan to carry out a suicide bombing on the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv and bomb other targets, in what analysts said was the first time the global terror network’s leadership has been directly involved in plotting an attack inside Israel.

The Shin Bet intelligence agency said it had arrested three Palestinians who allegedly plotted bombings, shootings, kidnappings and other attacks. It said the Palestinian men, two from Jerusalem and one from the West Bank, were recruited by an operative based in the Gaza Strip who worked for al-Qaida leader Ayman alZawahri.

The State Department said the U.S. was not yet able to corroborate the Israeli claims.

While a number of groups inspired by al-Qaida have carried out attacks against Israel before, this appeared to mark the first time an attack was directly planned by al-Qaida leaders.

The Shin Bet said the Palestinians planned on attacking a Jerusalem conference center with firearms and then kill rescue workers with a truck bomb. Al-Qaida also planned to send foreign militants to attack the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv on the same day using explosives supplied by the Palestinians, it said.

It said five men whose identity and nationality were not disclosed were to

fly into Israel with fake Russian passports to attack the American embassy. It was not clear where the men are located.

The Palestinian operatives had planned on several other attacks, it said. One included shooting out the tires of a bus and then gunning down passengers and ambulance workers.

The agency said the plot was in “advanced planning stages” but gave no further information on how close the men got to carrying it out. It said the Palestinians from Jerusalem had used their Israeli resident cards to scope out and gather intelligence on targets. They were arrested in the past few weeks, it said.

Court rules pot search violated property rights

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A police search that found 14 marijuana plants on a man’s property in a remote area of northern New Mexico violated his privacy rights because authorities didn’t have a warrant to conduct an aerial flyover that prompted the ground search, a court ruled.

The state Court of Appeals ruling cites prior New Mexico court decisions and says privacy protections apply to targeted, warrantless police aerial surveillance, the Albuquerque Journal reported Tuesday.

The home of Nor man Davis in the Carson area of Taos County was checked during a 2006 joint operation of New Mexico State Police, National Guard and state Game and Fish.

Authorities were looking for pot-growing operations.

A search was conducted with Davis’ reluctant consent after a spotter in a

helicopter saw vegetation in Davis’ greenhouse and plants outside.

Davis, 78, was charged with possession of 8 ounces or more of marijuana, a fourth-degree felony, and possession of drug parapher nalia.

Davis entered a conditional plea whereby his record was cleared after he had no law violations for a year.

The New Mexico Supreme Court and the state Court of Appeals upheld a judge’s ruling that officers didn’t coerce Davis into signing his consent for the search, but the case returned to the Court of Appeals to consider other legal issues.

A Jan. 14 ruling by a three-judge panel said the flyover didn’t violate Davis’ protections under the federal Fourth Amendment because it was conducted in navigable air space and didn’t interfere with Davis’ normal use of his property.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — For a full two sets and nine games, Roger Federer was the picture of poise, picking up half-volleys with vintage panache and placing winners past Andy Murray.

Then, in the bounce of a ball — or two bounces of the ball, depending on opinion — the 17-time major winner was transformed back into the vulnerable, 2013-edition Federer.

After breaking Murray to get a chance to serve for the match on Wednesday and a spot in the Australian Open semifinals for an 11th consecutive year, Federer dropped serve.

He recovered and jumped to a 5-2 lead in the tiebreaker, but then Murray rallied and won six of the last seven points to prolong the quarterfinal.

After wasting a handful of break-point chances in Murray’s next service game, which lasted almost 19 minutes, Federer finally wore down the Wimbledon champion 6-3, 6-4, 6-7 (6), 6-3 to set up a semifinal showdown with top-ranked Rafael Nadal.

“For me it was just a matter of staying calm and forgetting about it a little bit because, you know, the match was great until that point,” Federer said.

Murray made his resurgence after disputing a point in the ninth game of the third set, when he thought the ball had bounced twice before Federer

Yanks, Tanaka agree to $155M, 7-year deal See FEDERER, Page B4

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Yankees and prized Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka agreed Wednesday to a $155 million, seven-year contract.

In addition to the deal with the 25-yearold right-hander, the Yankees must pay a $20 million fee to his Japanese team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles.

After missing the playoffs for just the second time in 19 years, the Yankees went on a free-agent spending spree this offseason, also adding catcher Brian McCann and outfielders Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran. The four big deals totaled $438 million.

“We’re going to do what we’ve got to do to win,” Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. “Anybody that questioned our commitment to winning is going to have to question themselves.”

Ex-Cowboy convicted of intoxication manslaughter

DALLAS (AP) — Former Dallas Cowboys player Josh Brent was convicted of intoxication manslaughter Wednesday for a fiery wreck that killed his teammate and close friend, Jerry Brown.

He faces up to 20 years in prison for a December 2012 wreck after a night of partying with fellow Cowboys players. He could also get probation.

Jurors took about nine hours over two days to convict Brent, who was led from the courtroom in handcuffs as family members sitting in the front row of the gallery sobbed.

Among those sitting with Brent’s family was Stacey Jackson, Brown’s mother. Jackson did not respond to questions as she left the courtroom Wednesday with Brent’s family, but she has said in interviews that she’s forgiven Brent and could testify in support of a lighter sentence for him when that phase of the trial begins Thursday.

Attorneys from both sides remain under a gag order that prevented them from commenting after the proceedings.

Prosecutors say Brent, a defensive tackle, was drunk when he crashed his Mercedes on a suburban Dallas highway in December 2012, killing Brown, a linebacker on the Cowboys practice squad who had also been Brent’s teammate at the University of Illinois. Officers who arrived on scene saw Brent trying to pull Brown’s body from the wreckage.

Police say Brent’s blood alcohol level was tested shortly after the crash at 0.18 percent, more than twice the legal limit for drivers in Texas. Prosecutors last week argued that the burly, 320-pound defensive tackle had as many as 17 drinks that night of the See BRENT, Page B4

The New York Yankees and Masahiro Tanaka agreed to a $155 million, seven-year contract, Wednesday.

Big league teams had until Friday to reach an agreement with Tanaka, who was 24-0 with a 1.27 ERA last year as the Golden Eagles won the Japan Series title.

His agreement calls for $22 million in each of the first six seasons and $23 million in 2020, and it allows the pitcher to terminate the deal after the 2017 season and become a free agent. He also gets a full no-trade provision.

Tanaka receives a $35,000 moving allowance, an annual $100,000 housing allowance to be used in New York or near the team’s spring training facility in Tampa, Fla., and an interpreter of the pitcher’s choice at an $85,000 yearly salary. In addition to his own flight to the U.S., Tanaka annually will be provided four first-class round trip tickets between New York and Japan.

Tanaka’s deal is the highest for an international free agent and the fifth-largest for a pitcher, trailing only the seven-years

High-octane Broncos can grind it out, too ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — After hurrying Denver’s quick-strike, high-octane offense through a recordshattering regular season, Peyton Manning has turned the Broncos into a slowgrinding, clock-eating machine in the playoffs.

Denver’s three most timeconsuming drives of the season have all come in the last two weeks, helping to render opposing passers short-tempered sideline spectators.

In dispatching the San Diego Chargers and the New England Patriots, Manning dinked and dunked his way downfield.

“To keep Tom Brady on the sideline is a good thing,” Manning said after directing two epic drives in Denver’s 26-16 win in the AFC Championship.

Denver’s downshift, some of it by design, some due to circumstance, has thrown a new wrinkle into an already formidable test that Seattle’s stingy defense will have to prepare for in the Super Bowl.

After averaging seven plays, 65 yards and just over 3 minutes, 10 seconds on their 71 touchdown drives during the season, the Bron-

cos have doubled the time to 6:23 in the postseason and the touchdown drives have averaged 12 plays and 79.4 yards.

With a wealth of receivers in Demaryius Thomas, Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Julius Thomas and a rejuvenated running back in Knowshon Moreno, the Broncos are the first team in NFL history to sport five players who each caught 60 or more passes. Each member of this quintet also reached the end zone 10 or more times, something that’s never been done before.

Offensive coordinator Adam Gase capitalized on all that firepower, Denver’s altitude and Manning’s deciphering of defenses at the line of scrimmage to ramp up the Broncos to breakneck speed with a no-huddle offense that created mismatches in 2013 after taking over from the more conservative Mike McCoy following last year’s playoff upset.

The Broncos scored an NFL-record 606 points. Their 37.9-point average was the highest of the Super Bowl era and second only to the See BRONCOS, Page B4

Woods starts a new year with same old goals

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tiger Woods was posing for pictures with a trophy Wednesday at Torrey Pines, and the tournament had not even started.

He has made winning look routine, particularly on this public course along Pacific Bluffs where he already has won eight times as a pro, including a U.S. Open.

The trophy Woods received on the eve of his title defense at the Farmers Insurance Open was for being voted PGA Tour player of the year for the 11th time.

Woods doesn’t take winning for granted, even if others don’t appreciate how difficult it is.

That includes his daughter.

Woods told a story of 6-year -old Sam being curious about the Torrey pine on the trophy, which reminded his daughter of the Bonsai tree she had seen in “Karate Kid.” “She thought that’s what it was,” Woods said. “I said, ‘No, they’re a little bit bigger than that.’ I had to go online and show her the pictures and everything. I had all these trophies lined up and she said, ‘You need to get one of those.”’

Woods tried to explain that it wasn’t that simple, that he had to play better golf than

155 other guys to earn it.

“She said, ‘OK, go do it,’” he said.

And so he did. Woods had an eight-shot lead on the back nine before the final round in a fog-delayed tournament that was so backed up that it took forever to finish and Woods lost patience.

He won by four shots, and then surprised tournament officials when he wanted to take the trophy home on the plane instead of the tradition of shipping. He did not want to walk in the door as the winner at Torrey Pines without that trophy.

“They put it literally in the middle of the living room,” Woods said. “Everybody was dancing around the trophy.”

The music cranks back up on Thursday — another dance, his 19th year as a pro.

The tune hasn’t changed.

Woods conceded there are things he can’t do at 38 that he could when he was 24, such as produce the same speed when he rotates through the ball. But he’s also stronger and a lot smarter in dissecting a golf course.

“You’re still able to be successful, but

Tiger Woods talks to the media during a news conference at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines Golf Course, Wednesday.

SCOREBOARD

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Richard Sherman wondered if he came to the NFL 20 years too late.

The Seattle Seahawks’ All-Pro cornerback wondered if his swagger might have fit better a few decades earlier when that confidence and an unfiltered tongue was perhaps more accepted.

“I studied the old school game more than I studied the new school game, and I play it that way. It rubs a lot of people the wrong way,” Sherman said Wednesday. “Giving a true speech after a game, a true passionate speech is old school football. Playing press corner and sitting up there every play is old school football. I guess maybe I just haven’t adjusted to the times.”

Sherman spoke at length for the first time since Sunday’s NFC championship game win over San Francisco where his postgame comments to Fox reporter Erin Andrews became the talking point. It was a loud, emotional moment that happened just a few minutes after the Seahawks earned the second Super AP Photo Bowl berth in franchise history.

Seattle’s Richard Sherman speaks during a news conference Wednesday in Renton, Wash. The Seahawks play the Denver Broncos in the NFL football Super Bowl on Feb. 2.

Bucks snap 9-game skid, beat Pistons 104-101

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Caron Butler scored eight of his 30 points in the fourth quarter and the Bucks rallied from a 13-point deficit in the third quarter to beat the Detroit Pistons 104-101 Wednesday night to snap a nine-game losing streak.

Brandon Knight added 16 points against the team that traded him in the offseason, while backup center Miroslav Raduljica added eight points and eight rebounds off the bench.

The Bucks trailed 76-63 in the third quarter, largely due to Brandon Jennings, who finished with 30 points.

But Butler provided a boost with his jumper in the fourth before the Bucks held on late.

Josh Smith missed two foul shots with about 5 seconds left, and Rodney Stuckey missed a desperation 3 at the buzzer to tie.

Howard and Harden lead Rockets over Kings 119-98

HOUSTON (AP) — Dwight Howard and James Harden combined for 50 points in just three quarters to help the Houston Rockets cruise to their third straight win, a 119-98 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.

Howard had 26 points and 13 rebounds and Harden added 24 points with nine assists before the pair went to the bench for the fourth quarter.

through the first quarter and didn’t trail again. The Kings struggled after losing top scorers Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins to injuries before halftime.

Gay, who tied a career high with 41 points on Tuesday night, injured his left Achilles tendon in the first quarter and Cousins sprained his left ankle in the second.

Derrick Williams scored 22 points with 11 rebounds and Isaiah Thomas added 20 points for the Kings.

Browns search focused on Pettine

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Browns’ coaching search — or is it a scramble? — could be nearing a conclusion.

Buffalo defensive coordinator Mike Pettine is the front-runner to become the team’s seventh full-time coach and will reportedly have a third interview with the team on Thursday.

Team officials interviewed Pettine on Tuesday night in Mobile, Ala., site of the Senior Bowl, and although the sides did not reach a deal during their four-hour meeting, enough progress was made to move forward.

And as the focus narrowed on the 47year-old Pettine, a “mystery” candidate emerged.

The team reportedly interviewed former Tampa Bay coach Greg Schiano on Wednesday in Florida, but a person familiar with Cleveland’s coaching search told the Associated Press that Schiano will not be hired by the Browns. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the team is not commenting on the search, said there is “zero chance” of Schiano taking over in Cleveland.

Earlier, Pettine, who spent one season with the Bills after four on Rex Ryan’s staff with the New York Jets, told Cleveland.com that he “should have some feedback on my interview by the end of the day.”

A person familiar with the Browns’ plans told the AP on Tuesday night that the team intended to interview an unknown candidate on Wednesday. The club, too, was expected to meet with Atlanta offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter at some point.

Pettine is the first candidate known to have a follow-up interview with Browns owner Jimmy Haslam, CEO Joe Banner, general manager Michael Lombardi and team president Alec Scheiner. Cleveland has met with at least nine known candidates.

The team initially interviewed Pettine on Jan. 16, and following the interview, Pettine’s teenage daughter, Megan, tweeted that her dad was going to meet again with the team while taking a not-so-subtle shot at the Browns.

“It’s the browns,” she posted on a Twitter account since deleted. “But hey, still pretty cool!”

The Browns, who fired Rob Chudzinski on Dec. 29 following one season, are also expected to conduct a second interview with Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn.

He was the first candidate to meet with the team and the director of the NFL’s top-rated defense could sit down with Cleveland’s front office before Sunday.

Because the Seahawks are in the Super Bowl, league rules require the Browns to speak with any assistants in that game by Jan. 26.

However, the Browns are not permitted to finalize a deal with any assistant coach participating in the Super Bowl until after the game, so Cleveland may have to wait until Feb. 3 if they want to hire Quinn.

It’s possible, though, the team could decide Pettine is their choice and can name him their coach at any time.

Last week, Haslam, aware of the public appearance the Browns had no clear plan to

find Chudzinski’s replacement, sent a letter to fans last week explaining the team’s “methodical” approach to finding its next coach.

Despite Haslam’s reasoning, it appears the Browns have had to adjust on the fly.

The search is in its fourth week. Six other teams entered the offseason with coaching vacancies and all have been filled.

Early favorites in Cleveland’s quest to replace Chudzinski dropped quickly. New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Ohio born with a connection to Lombardi, removed himself from consideration. Denver offensive coordinator Adam Gase — another perceived favorite — did the same, calling Haslam on Tuesday to say he was happy with the Broncos.

Top college coaches such as Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops, Gus Malzahn and James Franklin emerged as possibilities and disappeared as rapidly as they arrived.

Stoops is still with the Sooners, Malzahn stayed at Auburn and Franklin took the Penn State job.

Bill O’Brien, who was on Cleveland’s wish list last year, signed with Houston.

There have even been rumors that former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was on Cleveland’s radar.

Since the start, Haslam has promised to “take as long as necessary” to find the right coach — his second in less than two years as owner — to lead the Browns.

It appears he’s finally closing in on one.

Sanders takes Luck, Newton early in Pro Bowl draft

KAPOLEI, Hawaii (AP) — NFL great Deion Sanders took quarterback Andrew Luck and Cam Newton with his first skill position picks in the Pro Bowl draft Wednesday, moving for passers early before focusing on defense in building a team for one win.

Jerry Rice took New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham then Philadelphia running back LeSean McCoy with his first two picks, giving active player captain Drew Brees his top target early to go along with two Saints offensive linemen picked Tuesday.

“I wouldn’t rather be with anybody else, obviously,” Graham told reporters after being picked. All five Saints in the Pro Bowl ended up on Rice’s team.

The picks kicked off the process of divvying up 60 players for the Sunday all-star game.

The game is being played in an “unconferenced” format for the first time, straying from its usual AFC vs. NFC teams. Sanders and Rice picked captains and their first 11 players each on Tuesday.

The draft is a new format by the NFL to liven up the all-star game, which has been criticized by fans and even Commissioner Roger Goodell for the quality of play.

The draft embraces the popular hobby of fantasy football and put many players in the interesting situation of having to watch two of the NFL’s biggest personalities pass them up.

“It looks like I’m waiting,” Chicago wide receiver Brandon Marshall said after watching four receivers come off the board — including his teammate Alshon Jeffery. “This is sad — real sad.”

Sanders retorted: “Somebody get him some aspirin.”

Eric Weddle, a San Diego safety who was the third safety picked, said he didn’t mind having to wait in a lounge area with the other players while Sanders and Rice took 2 minutes each to make picks, with breaks for commercials in the live telecast.

“It doesn’t really matter — just chilling 17 hours in here right now,” Weddle said.

“When it comes to Sunday, I’ll be on the field in the fourth quarter and ready to wreck shop.”

Defensive end Mario Williams became the first player to be assigned when he was the last player at his position off the board at his position.

See SHERMAN, Page B3

“Just be careful where you throw the ball,” Williams said afterward toward Brees.

Williams said things played out largely how he anticipated, with teammates picking one another and Sanders playing mind games.

Sanders picked wideouts Dez Bryant and A.J. Green, while Rice chose Josh Gordon along with Jeffery.

Luck playing for Team Sanders puts him on the same team led by his head coach in Indianapolis, Chuck Pagano. Luck said that will help him as players get accustomed to Pagano’s style.

Beyond McCoy going second to Rice on Wednesday and Kansas City’s Jamaal Charles being a captain for Sanders, neither manager took a running back early, preferring to pick defenders and receivers. Rice later took DeMarco Murray and Matt Forte, while Sanders took Eddie Lacy and was assigned Washington’s Alfred Morris.

Roswell Daily Record

Sherman Continued from Page B2

Sherman was at the center of the decisive play, deflecting a pass intended for Michael Crabtree in the end zone and watching teammate Malcolm Smith run over to intercept it to clinch the victory. Sherman’s ensuing remarks were directed mostly at Crabtree but his intense, shouting delivery is what took people aback.

Sherman said the reaction that followed over the next two days left him a little stunned as well.

“I was surprised by it.

Because we’re talking about football here and a

lot of people took it a little bit further than football.”

Sher man said. “I guess some people showed how far we have really come in this day and age and it was kind of profound what happened and people’s opinions of that nature, because I was on a football field showing passion.

Maybe it was misdirected, maybe things may have been immature, maybe things could have been worded better but this is on a football field. I didn’t commit any crimes, I was not doing anything illegal. I was showing passion after a football game.”

Sherman apologized for taking away the spotlight from the performances by some of his teammates.

Marshawn L ynch’s 109 yards rushing and 40-yard touchdown, Jer maine Kearse’s 35-yard touchdown catch on fourth-down and Bobby Wagner’s 15 tackles all became secondary to Sherman’s words.

What seemed to bother Sherman the most in the fallout was hearing the word “thug” attached to his name.

“The only reason it bothers me is it seems like it’s an accepted way of calling someone the N-word nowadays. It’s like everybody else said the N-word and they said thug and they’re like, ‘that’s fine,”’ Sherman said. “That’s where it kind of takes me aback. It’s kind of disappointing because they know. What is the def-

Thursday, January 23, 2014

inition of a thug, really?”

Sherman then referenced seeing highlights of the Vancouver Canucks and Calgary Flames playing on Saturday when a fight broke out two seconds into the game.

“They didn’t even play hockey. They just threw their sticks aside and started fighting,” he said. “I saw that and said, ‘Oh, man, I’m the thug? What’s going on here. Geez.’ I’m really disappointed in being called a thug.”

While there’s been criticism for his rant, he’s also received support. Perhaps most surprising was a tweet from baseball Hall of Famer Hank Aaron. Not a huge user of social media — Aaron had sent seven

tweets before Tuesday — his message to Sherman read, “hang in there & keep playing as well as you did Sunday. Excellent job - you have my support.”

Sherman was peppered with questions for more than 20 minutes Wednesday. Teammate Russell Wilson was also asked about the fallout. He said it hasn’t been a distraction as the Seahawks begin preparing for Denver.

Sherman also didn’t like hearing that some have labeled the team villainous.

“Anytime you label Russell Wilson a villain it has to be a joke,” he said.

Sherman said he has not reached out to Crabtree.

Sher man attempted to shake Crabtree’s hand fol-

B3

lowing the interception only to get shoved in the face.

Even after his on-field interview, Sherman continued to deride Crabtree in his postgame media session, calling the receiver “mediocre” and later saying their problems dated to an incident during an offseason event in Arizona.

Sherman said he doesn’t regret the choke sign he directed at San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, a gesture that drew a 15-yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.

“No man, it’s Reggie Miller,” Sherman said. “It’s Reggie Miller. It’s rivalries, right?”

Michigan tops Iowa, sets up showdown vs. MSU

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Nik Stauskas started the quick flurry with a 3-pointer from the left corner, and that was followed by another familiar sight — a driving dunk by Glenn Robinson III. Then Spike Albrecht stepped in front of an inbound pass for a steal and a quick basket — the latest unexpected contribution from the sophomore who has become such a crowd favorite in Ann Arbor.

“I’ve seen that in film. They get some long outlet passes for some transitions,” Albrecht said. “I just kind of sat there and jumped in.”

Stauskas scored 26 points, and No. 21 Michigan held off No. 10 Iowa 75-67 on Wednesday night to remain unbeaten in the Big Ten. Robinson added 14 points for the Wolverines, and Albrecht shined in his first career start, finishing with seven points, seven assists, four steals and no turnovers.

The Wolverines (14-4, 6-0) have won eight straight to set up a showdown in East Lansing on Saturday night with rival Michigan State, the Big Ten’s only other unbeaten team in conference play.

Aaron White scored 14 of Iowa’s points in a row down the stretch, but it wasn’t enough to rally the Hawkeyes (15-4, 4-2) from an 11-point deficit.

“I’m really disappointed in myself, because this is the second game in a row that I haven’t shown up until late in the game,” White said. “I’m supposed to be one of the top players in this league, but I’m not making an impact until it is too late. I can’t allow myself to keep doing that.”

White and Melsahn Basabe scored 17 points each for Iowa. Jordan Morgan had 12 for Michigan.

Third-ranked Michigan State (18-1, 7-0) will bring an 11-game winning streak into Saturday’s game. It will be the first time Michigan and Michigan State have ever met with both teams at 6-0 or better in Big Ten play, according to STATS. The Spartans will be the third straight top-10 opponent for Michigan, which beat then-No. 3 Wisconsin on Saturday. The win over Iowa gave the Wolverines back-to-back victories over top-10 teams — without any games in between — for the first time since the Fab Five beat No. 5 North Carolina and No. 2 Kansas in succession in December of 1992, according to STATS. Michigan split two games with Michigan State last season, losing 75-52 in East Lansing.

“Last year I think we kind of went out there just thinking it was just another game,” Albrecht said. “It’s a big-time

rivalry, so you have to be ready to go.”

The Wolverines are without star big man Mitch McGary, who is out indefinitely with a back injury, but they matched the tall Hawkeyes at 10 offensive rebounds. Iowa committed 14 turnovers and couldn’t shoot well enough to make up for it. The Hawkeyes equaled their lowest-scoring game of the season.

“You can’t turn it over 14 times here,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. “I mean, unless you’re drilling 3s.”

Iowa went only 2 of 10 from beyond the arc.

Stauskas made his first four shots, and Michigan led 38-34 at halftime. It was 54-43 after the sequence that ended with Albrecht’s steal and quick shot from the baseline.

Albrecht briefly became a household name because of his big first half in last season’s national title game against Louisville. He started Wednesday in place of freshman Derrick Walton, who had been bothered by the flu and was limited to three minutes.

Albrecht played 35 minutes, easily surpassing his previous high of 28 from that loss to Louisville.

you do it a different way,” Woods said. “You evolve as you age, and I think I’ve done that so far.”

The talk about Woods hasn’t changed, either.

Even though the Masters is just under three months away, any mention of Woods starts with the majors.

The playoff win at Torrey Pines in the 2008 U.S. Open was the last major he won. He has been stuck on 14 for the past five years, squandering good chances at the U.S. Open in 2012 and the British Open last year.

This would seem to shape up as an important year because three of the majors are on courses where he has won — Augusta National,

Royal Liverpool and Valhalla. The U.S. Open is at Pinehurst No. 2, where Woods has finished third and second.

“I view it as every year is a big year,” Woods said. “Every year that I get a chance to compete and play in tournaments and major championships for as long as I decide to do it ... every year counts. Looking back from the beginning of my career to now, I know that I don’t have 20 years in my prime. I don’t see being 58 and being in my prime. Most guys don’t dunk from the foul line at age 58, so it’s a little different. But the outlook is still the same.

“I still prepare the same,” he said. “I still work my tail off to be ready to compete at this level and beat everyone that I’m playing against.”

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Kevin Durant had 36 points to offset Tony Parker’s season-high 37, and the Oklahoma City Thunder survived a testy 111-105 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night, their third win this season over the defending Western Conference champions.

Reggie Jackson had 27 points and Serge Ibaka added 14 points for Oklahoma City (33-10), which reclaimed the West’s best record.

Tim Duncan and Boris Diaw scored 14 points each, Marco Belinelli had 13 points and Manu Ginobili added 10 points. Duncan added 13 rebounds, but San Antonio (3210) struggled to overcome the loss of their top defensive stopper, Kawhi Leonard.

Durant finished 12 for 22, but struggled to get his shot off against the snug defense of the 6-foot-7 Leonard, who has a 7-4 wingspan. Leonard left the game late in the first half after sustaining a non-displaced fracture in his right hand. His status is unknown, but a similar injury is expected to sideline Danny Green for a month.

Durant scored 24 points after Leonard left the game with 3 minutes left in the first half.

The Spurs used a physical defense against Durant with Leonard out, especially when Ginobili drew the assignment.

The physical play angered Durant, who twice lowered his shoulder and dropped Ginobili. Both plays resulted in noncalls, which incensed Gregg Popovich. The Spurs coach screamed at officials while Durant appeared to yell at Popovich. Popovich was assessed a technical foul, which Durant angrily sank with 1:12 to give Oklahoma City a 5551 lead with 1:19 left in the first half.

A fight nearly broke out between Derek Fisher and Patty Mills at midcourt in the final minute when the two became entangled on the floor battling for a loose ball. The two had to be separated by teammates after rising from the pile.

Minnesota downs Wisconsin, 81-68 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — DeAndre Mathieu and Mo Walker each scored 18 points, an outsideinside combination that pushed Minnesota to an 81-68 victory Wednesd a y nigh t over N o. 9 Wisconsin, the Badgers’ third straight loss.

Malik Smith added 14 points, including the exclamatory, shot-clock beating 3-pointer with 39 seconds left. Austin Hollins had 11 points and four steals for the Golden Gophers (15-5, 4 - 3 Big T en ). Walk er grabbed nine rebounds, and Mathieu went 8 for 13 from the floor.

Sam Dekker led the B a dger s (1 6 - 3 , 3- 3 ) with 20 points and six rebounds. Nigel Hayes added 12 points, and F r an k K am in sk y an d Josh Gasser had nine

points apiece.

The fastest player on the court, Mathieu can make up for his 5-foot9 f ram e wi th a d eft ly effective, floating, midr an ge ju m p sh ot . He flipped in two of them on back-to-back possession s, t h e s econ d on e w it h on e h an d , sandwiched around a steal by the Gophers to push their lead to 6149.

Federer thought it was good, and left the call to the umpire.

“I’m proud of the way I fought,” said Murray, who had back surgery in September. “I’ve come a long way in four months.”

Nadal lost the first set and faced set points in the third, getting a reprieve when first-time quarterfinalist Grigor Dimitrov pushed a forehand just wide in a tiebreaker. Despite a painful blister on the palm of his left hand that hampered his serve, Nadal advanced 3-6, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (7), 6-2

against the 22-year-old Bulgarian.

“You lose a little bit the coordination. Yeah, that’s a big deal,” Nadal said of his grip. “I served slower. I served bad (but) I was able to win a match against a very difficult opponent, so that has much more value than when everything is great.

“And because of these victories, sometimes happens that next day you are able to play much better — and these victories are more important than the days that you are playing great.”

And that’s how the greatest of modern-day champions reconcile it. On a day when two-time defending Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka lost 6-1, 5-7, 6-0 to No. 5 Agnieszka Rad-

Tanaka replaces the retired Andy Pettitte in the rotation, joining Sabathia, Hiroki Kuroda and Ivan Nova. David Phelps, Adam Warren, Michael Pineda and Vidal Nuno are in the mix for the No. 5 slot.

“We had to make sure we had enough pitching to go together with our new lineup,” Steinbrenner said.

Tanaka was 99-35 with a 2.30 ERA in seven seasons with the Golden Eagles, striking out 1,238 in 1,315 innings. Yankees officials met with him Jan. 8 in Beverly Hills, Calif. The group included team

Brent’s attorneys argued the blood tests used by police were faulty and that Brent could not have drank nearly that much. Attorney George Milner said his client was “guilty of being stupid behind the wheel of a car,” not drinking beforehand.

Brent retired from the NFL last year, but his ties to the Cowboys were prominent at trial. Two current players, Barry Church and Danny McCray, testified about hanging out with Brent and Brown, first playing video games, then having dinner and going to Privae, a Dallas nightclub.

wanska and following other stars out of the tournament, Nadal and Federer won back-to-back matches on center court to set up their 33rd showdown.

Stan Wawrinka ended Novak Djokovic’s bid for a fourth straight Australian Open title with an upset win in the quarterfinals and will face 2010 Wimbledon finalist Tomas Berdych in the semifinals on Thursday. Neither has won a Grand Slam title, but one is guaranteed to get a chance in Australia.

That match will be preceded by the women’s semifinals. Li Na, the 2011 French Open champion and a two-time Australian Open finalist, is the only major winner left in the draw. She’ll take on 19year -old Canadian Eugenie

President Randy Levine, manager Joe Girardi, general manager Brian Cashman, assistant GMs Jean Afterman and Billy Eppler, pitching coach Larry Rothschild, special assistant Trey Hillman and translator George Rose.

“He didn’t do a lot of talking or anything, but you can tell he’s on top of what he wants and what he wants to do,” Rothschild said Wednesday at the team’s minor league complex. “He’s got an assortment of quality pitches. He’s fastball, slider, split. Throws a cutter, too. It shows arm strength, but he’s showed tenacity on the mound. When he got in tougher situations, you could see he dialed it up.’

New York had great success in the Japanese market when it signed outfielder Hideki Matsui, a star from 2003-09 who was the World Series MVP in his final season in pinstripes. But the Yankees had failures with Hideki Irabu and Kei Igawa, pitchers who never lived up to

trial to show support for Brent, and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said this week that he was closely watching for a verdict.

“Certainly it’s tragic.

We’ve all, to some degree, have been a part of this,” Jones said on Tuesday, according to the Cowboys’ website. “We support Josh.

This has been just a terrible experience for the families who lost a loved one and for Josh who loved Jerry as well.”

Jurors saw video of Brent appearing to hold bottles of Champagne in each hand and credit-card receipts that showed Brent had purchased three bottles. They also saw police dash cam footage of Brent losing his balance during field sobriety tests and occasionally stumbling over his words while talking to officers.

lar-season matchups against Denver, watched helplessly as Manning converted 9 of 13 third downs in their divisional playoff game.

Manning had a tone-setting, 14play, 86-yard touchdown drive that took 7:01 to start the scoring, then staved off San Diego’s furious fourthquarter rally by converting two key third down passes to Julius Thomas to chew up the final four minutes.

“If we got it one more time, I believe deep down that we would’ve tied that thing up,” Rivers said after San Diego’s 24-17 loss. “Those are all a bunch of what ifs.”

Against New England, Manning directed drives that lasted 7:01 and 7:08, covering 93 and 80 yards in 15 and 13 plays, respectively.

It was quite a change for the Broncos, who kicked off the NFL season against Baltimore with a 24-yard touchdown that took all of 5 seconds, one of Manning’s record-tying seven that night.

and returned to the No. 1 ranking.

Meanwhile, Federer had his worst year in 11, failing to make any of the Grand Slam finals and dropping to No. 6 in the rankings as he struggled with injuries and came to terms with a new, bigger racket.

After recruiting six-time major winner Stefan Edberg as a coach, and adjusting to the new racket, he’s finally feeling capable of winning a major again.

He believes the win over Murray demonstrated that.

“I definitely think that’s what I used to do so well, the transition game from defense to offense,” Federer said. “I definitely sensed that today. I am back.”

spending this and spending that and doing whatever it takes to win,” Hank Steinbrenner said, referring to late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.

“He didn’t have revenue sharing, at least for most of his time,” Hank Steinbrenner added. “That’s what these people in the sports media don’t seem to get. If it wasn’t for revenue sharing, we’d have a payroll of $300 million a year if we wanted to. So we’re doing this despite having to pay all that revenue sharing.”

Tanaka was the first player available under the new agreement between Major League Baseball and Nippon Professional Baseball, which caps posting fees at $20 million and allows multiple big league teams to negotiate. Under the previous system, in place from December 1998 through last offseason, there was no limit on the bid for negotiating rights and only the team with the top bid could try to sign the player.

York Giants.

While the Broncos have scored on 10 of their 14 drives this postseason, not counting the two possessions that ended in victory formation, half of those have been field goals by Matt Prater after promising drives stalled at their opponents’ 27, 9, 17, 2 and 35.

In the regular season, they had 71 touchdown drives and 25 field goals.

That accounts for a lot of their dip to a 25-point scoring average in the playoffs.

Yet, they’re in greater control and their defense is better than it’s been all season, yielding just 17 and 16 points after allowing 24.93 points per game in the regular season.

Credit Manning for keeping the Broncos on the field for an average of 35 minutes, 35 seconds to his opponents’ 24:25.

Bouchard. Radwanska will face No. 20 Dominika Cibulkova, who convincingly beat No. 11 Simona Halep.

Nadal and Federer aren’t back in action until Friday. It gives Nadal time for his blisters to heal, and Federer time to recover from his tight win over Murray, who came into the Australian Open after spending most of the last three months recovering from a minor back operation.

Nadal, who missed the 2013 Australian Open because of injury and had to watch as Murray beat Federer in the semifinals, came back strong last year.

After missing seven months because of injury and illness, he won 10 titles — including majors at the French and U.S. Opens —

their potential.

Combined with deals to re-sign Kuroda and Brendan R yan, and to add Kelly Johnson, Brian Roberts and Matt Thornton, the Yankees’ offseason spending on free agents totals $471 million.

Tanaka’s deal pushes the Yankees’ payroll for purposes of the luxury tax over $203 million for 20 players with agreements. Barring trades, there is little chance New York will get under the $189 million tax threshold.

Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner had been saying for two years that getting below the tax threshold in 2014 was a goal but wouldn’t get in the way of fielding a contending team.

Along with losing tens of millions of dollars in revenue sharing annually, the Yankees have paid $252.7 million in luxury tax over the last 11 years.

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I am 36. My husband is 60. We have been together for 10 years. During the first four years we got along great, but he now says he wants to have affairs.

He texts women and tries to hide it from me. I found out he was texting his first ex-wife. It made me uncomfortable, so I asked him to stop. He didn’t. When I realized he hadn’t, I told him I would leave if it happens again. This kind of behavior has been going on for more than half our marriage.

I am at the point where I don’t want to cuddle or be affectionate with

him at all. He commented the other day that he should be allowed to have an affair because I mentioned that I find Hemingway interesting. (He was known for affairs.)

I’m at a loss. I care for my husband and don’t want to hurt him.

But I’m also scared that I can’t afford to be on my own. A little advice?

UNSURE IN WASHINGTON

DEAR UNSURE: Hemingway was also known for his drinking and big-game hunting.

Is your husband considering doing those things, too?

If ever I heard of a couple who could benefit from marriage counseling, it’s you two. As it stands, your marriage is broken. Counseling may help. If it doesn’t and you don’t have a job, find one and figure out a way to cut your expenses so you CAN afford to be on your own, because it looks like you will be. ##### DEAR ABBY: I am an esthetician who works as a waxing specialist. A customer of

COMICS

mine came in a short while ago and admitted to driving to my salon while drunk. She mentioned she had almost crashed her car getting here, and I could smell the liquor on her breath.

She is one of my regular customers, but I am very against drunk driving. How would I professionally handle this? I wanted to report it, but I didn’t know what car she was driving or where she was headed. How should this be handled in the future?

CONFLICTED IN SAN FRANCISCO

DEAR CONFLICTED: Because you know the woman well, you might say, “You nearly crashed your car getting here. I care about you too much to let you drive home like this. I’m calling you a taxi.

Pick up your car tomorrow.”

When she’s sober again and comes in for her next appointment, tell her how worried you were about her. There are two ways to lose a customer. One is by offending her. The other is by letting her kill herself behind the wheel because she’s so

drunk she can’t see straight. So let your conscience guide you. #####

Family Circus

DEAR ABBY: I have a condition that causes constant migraines. A new neighbor heard about my illness and is determined to become my second mother.

She continually tries to visit, call and text even though my husband and I have asked her not to.

I dislike hurting people. How can I get her to stop her stalker-ish behavior without making this old lady my enemy?

MY OTHER HEADACHE’S A NEIGHBOR

DEAR OTHER HEADACHE: Stop asking and TELL this wellmeaning woman that she’s making your condition worse by continuing to call, text and visit. And while you’re at it, tell her that when you’re ready for company, you will contact her — but only when you’re feeling well enough to chat. If she persists after that, don’t answer her calls and refuse her visits.

FROM HELOISE

KING FEATURES SYNDICATE Dear Readers:

When friends or family come to stay for a while, whether it’s for one night or several, are there certain things it would be NICE IF THEY DID? With the holidays over, the girls (yes, I call them my “girls,” and it’s OK with each of them) in Heloise Central were discussing overnight guests who are family or friends, etc. So, here are some of our favorite hints:

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

* Laura said: “If it is a close family member, like my mother-inlaw, visiting, I ask if she would prepare a favorite meal of my husband’s from childhood one night.

My mother-in-law loves having something to do, and it brings back memories for both her and my husband, while giving me a muchneeded night off!”

Dilbert

For Better or For Worse

* Shawna said: “After cooking meals, I love it when my guests offer to wash the dishes or load the dishwasher for me.”

* Kate said: “I always take my host/ hostess out for a lunch/dinner (their choice), paid for by me when visiting, so it would be nice to be offered the same.”

* T.A. said: “I’ve had people stay over for more than a couple of nights and then offer to go grocery shopping for me and pay for all the groceries! It was a really nice surprise!”

Garfield

* Heloise here: When my brother stayed a week or so, he always went into the office and kitchen and emptied the trash cans, plus took out the garbage, and loved feeding the dog, who loved having him feed her!

Ask your host if there is some way to help, and sometimes just a night off from entertaining is appreciated.

Many times, a host might not suggest something, but you should offer to walk the dog, make a grocery run, fill the car with gas or watch the kids for a while.

Hagar the Horrible

Readers, send your hints that make visits even better! Email: Heloise(at)Heloise.com, or write to: Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279. #####

Heloise

Dear Heloise:

A favorite pair of jeans has an annoying zipper that will not stay up. I would use a safety pin, but I couldn’t find one. What I did was use a rubber band. I put the rubber band through the hole in the zipper and pulled the other side of it through the hole and tightened the knot. Then I looped the rest of the rubber band around the button till the zipper stayed up. Surprisingly, the rubber band is easier to use than the safety pin.

Snuffy Smith

Dear Heloise:

Zits

Helena M. in Georgia

I went to a new hair dresser, and when she was styling my hair with a blow-dryer, she would run the backside of the dryer, or the part where the filter is, down the hair section that she had just gotten through styling. This was a new concept to me. She said it is a quick way to set the style instead of using the cool-shot method, because the filter sucks in the hot air.
