Low early voting numbers precede today’s school elections

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer A total of 633 Chaves County residents cast early voting ballots by Friday’s deadline for school board races and to decide a $16 million bond requested by the Roswell Independent School District, a little more than half of the early voting that occurred in 2013’s Chaves County school elections.

Early voting was heavy throughout the RISD, and virtually non-existent elsewhere.

A total of 621 voters cast ballots early in RISD, while 12 voters cast ballots early in the Dexter school district, said Cindy Fuller, bureau of elections chief for

the Chaves County Clerk’s Office. There were no early voters in Hagerman or Lake Arthur.

Some early voters for RISD and Dexter Consolidated Schools also voted in board elections for the College Community Board of Eastern New Mexico University-Roswell.

This year’s early voting numbers are considerably down from Chaves County school elections in 2013, when 1,198 early ballots were cast.

RISD superintendent Tom Burris said Monday he is not so disappointed in this year’s early voting totals.

“I’m really not and here’s why,” Burris said. “Several of my schools are voting

locations, so I’m sure a lot of teachers are going to vote at schools.”

Burris noted the Chaves County Clerk’s Office has instituted eight voting convenience centers in Roswell for today’s school elections.

Instead of election day voters needing to go to a specific polling site for their particular school district, as they have had to in the past, RISD voters may vote at any of the eight VCCs from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today. Voters are not required to present identification at the polls.

Six of the eight VCCs are schools within RISD. “You can vote wherever is closest to you,” Burris said.

“At this point in time, knowing that you have voting

convenience centers, I think a lot of folks are just going to wait until it comes to the school. Because of that, I’m not concerned about the low numbers.”

The voting convenience centers are at Del Norte Elementary School, 2704 N. Garden Ave., Washington Avenue Elementary School, 408 N. Washington Ave., West Country Club Church, 700 W. Country Club Road, El Capitan Elementary School, 2087 W. Bland St., University High School, 25 W. Martin St., East Grand Plains Elementary School, 377 E. Grand Plains Road, Nancy Lopez Elementary School, 1208 E. Bland St., and at the Chaves County Clerk’s Office Area D, 1 St.

Overview

A total of 15 candidates are running for positions on the RISD, Dexter, Lake Arthur and Hagerman school boards, while five candidates are running for three positions on the College Community Board of ENMU-R. All school board members serve without compensation in New Mexico.

While school elections are non-partisan in the state, meaning candidates do not declare a political party, some of the races have partisan overtones.

RISD school board president Pauline J. Ponce, a former Democrat state representative, is being challenged for her District 4 position by Ruben J. Sanchez, who is being backed by local Republicans.

Carey D. Smith Jr. is challenging RISD school board secretary James W. Waldrip for the District 2 position on the five-member school board. Waldrip has served on the school board since 2003.

The winners will be elected to four-year terms, beginning March 1.

ENMMC to pay part of hefty settlement

Hangin’ up

Stephen Ackerman and Gretchen Phillips from the Creative Learning Center hang student artwork in the Isaac’s Gallery located at 309 N. Virginia Ave. on Monday. The work is part of the Arts Connect “Hands, Heart and Mind” show that opens today and runs through Feb. 28. The show is open to the public and features work from RISD students in grades K-12. There will be a reception for the students on Thursday, Feb. 5, at 5 p.m.

A Roswell hospital will have to pay its share of a $75 million settlement according to the Justice Department.

Community Health Systems Professional Services Corporation, along with three affiliated New Mexico hospitals — including Eastern New Mexico Medical Center in Roswell — have agreed to pay the United States $75 million to settle allegations that they violated the False Claims Act by making illegal donations to county governments which were used to fund the state share of Medicaid payments to the hospitals, according to a news release from the U.S. Justice Department on Monday.

“We are pleased that we have resolved an inves-

tigation and lawsuit by the U.S. Department of Justice related to federal funding of the New Mexico Medicaid program,” according to an email statement from Brooke Linthicum, marketing director for Eastern New Mexico Medical Center issued on Monday.

CHSPSC is based in Franklin, Tennessee, and manages more than 200 affiliated hospitals in 29 states.

“The settlement agreement concludes the government’s review into whether the hospital and others caused the State of New Mexico to submit claims for matching federal Medicaid funding in violation of the Federal False Claims Act,” Linthicum stated.

State Briefs Balloon pilots present flags to Albuquerque mayor

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — Flags that accompanied the Two Eagles balloon team across the Pacific Ocean on a record-smashing journey have been presented to the city of Albuquerque to commemorate the historic flight.

Pilots Troy Bradley of Albuquerque and Leonid Tiukhtyaev of Russia unveiled the flags during a final debriefing at mission control Monday.

They said they were able

to detach the New Mexico and U.S. flags from the balloon after landing in the ocean early Saturday off the coast of Baja California.

The pilots traveled farther and longer in a gas balloon than anyone in history. Still, international aviation officials need to ratify the distance and duration of the flight, a process that can take months.

Bradley and Tiukhtyaev planned to travel to New Mexico’s statehouse on Tuesday, where they will be honored by lawmakers and Gov. Susana Martinez.

Continued from Page A1

Peggy Brewer, Mackenzie Hunt and Eloy Ortega Jr., are not up for re-election in 2015.

In addition to the two school board races, RISD voters will also cast ballots today on a proposed $16 million bond.

Voters will decide whether the school district may issue up to $16 million of general obligation bonds for the purpose of erecting, remodeling, making additions to and furnishing school buildings, purchasing or improving school grounds, purchasing computer software and hardware for student use in schools, providing matching funds for capital outlay projects or any combination thereof.

Burris said, if approved, all of the $16 million would be utilized to either renovate or replace Del Norte and Nancy Lopez elementary schools, Mesa Middle School and Parkview Early Childhood Center.

Burris said he has lobbied hard for the bond’s passage.

“I have been to our civic groups all over the city,” Burris said. “I’ve spoken to a lot of folks. It’s really good for the economy of Roswell.

It’s really good for the kids of Roswell.”

Burris noted the bond’s passage would not result in a property tax increase, but would continue a 5.635 mill levy already imposed

by RISD, which would elapse after four years if not renewed by local voters in the future.

The annual property tax

increase on a $100,000 home as a result of the bond would be $187.83, said the Chaves County Assessor’s Office.

RISD’s total current levy is 7.879 mills.

The total millage levied on residential property in Roswell is 30.582 mills, meaning the owner of a $100,000 residential property pays an annual property tax bill of $1,019.40.

Burris also noted the bond, if approved, would come with a state match of 72 percent of the construction costs, while local property taxpayers would fund 28 percent of the project costs through a general obligation bond. The bond is strictly for capital projects, and not for salaries, Burris said.

“Economically speaking, this is kind of a slam-dunk situation,” Burris said. “The state match is a huge economic benefit. That’s a great deal.”

If Del Norte and Nancy Lopez elementary schools, Mesa Middle School and the Parkview Early Literacy Center are renovated or replaced, Burris said just four more of the district’s 20 school buildings would need renovation or replacement.

The school district has renovated or rebuilt 12 of its 20 schools in the past decade. Berrendo, El Capitan, Military Heights and Valley View elementary schools were the most recent recipients of renovations or replacement.

The renovations began in

ernment in ensuring that Medicaid funds are spent on the needs of beneficiaries,” said Joyce R. Branda, acting assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Civil Division.

“When private hospitals violate the rules against hospital donations funding the state share, that important protection of the Medicaid program is destroyed,” Branda said in the DOJ news release.

New Mexico’s Sole Community Provider program, which was discontinued in 2014, provided supplemental Medicaid funds to hospitals in mostly rural communities.

According to the Department of Justice news release, the federal government reimbursed the state of New Mexico for approximately 75 percent of its health care expenditures under the SCP program.

Under federal law, New Mexico’s 25 percent “matching” share of SCP program payments had to consist of state or county funds, and not impermis-

sible “donations” from private hospitals.

This restriction on the use of private hospital funds to satisfy state Medicaid obligations was enacted by Congress to curb possible abuses and ensure that states have sufficient incentive to curb rising Medicaid costs, according to the Department of Justice.

The United States alleged that from Aug. 1, 2000, through Dec. 31, 2010, CHS knowingly caused the state of New Mexico to present false claims to the United States for payments made to CHS under the SCP program by making improper donations to Chaves, Luna, and San Miguel counties, which were then used by the counties, and subsequently the state, to obtain federal matching payments.

“This case has always been about a funding dispute between the State of New Mexico and CMS, regarding the manner in which the state funded a CMS-approved supplemental Medicaid program

for sole community hospitals that was designed to ensure access to care for Medicaid and indigent patients at the State’s rural hospitals,” Linthicum said.

“We had no knowledge of how the counties or the state reported donations which were entirely lawful and a matter of public record, or what the state reported to CMS,” Linthicum added. “We do not believe we should have been subject to suit for discretionary government funding decisions especially since we advised the state and federal government in writing no later than late Summer 2008 of the donations being made.”

The hospital donations originated with the state’s Medicaid representatives and similar donations were made by nearly every other private sole community hospital in New Mexico,” Linthicum said.

“In fact, CMS found that nine of the 13 SCP hospitals made public donations to their counties and received Medicaid sole

community provider funding during Federal Fiscal Year 2009,” she said.

The settlement announced on Monday stems from a whistleblower complaint filed by a former CHSPSC revenue manager, Robert Baker, pursuant to the qui tam (whistleblower) provisions of the False Claims Act, which permit persons to bring a lawsuit on behalf of the government and to share in the proceeds of the suit, according to the Department of Justice.

The act also permits the government to intervene in and take over the lawsuit, as it did in this case as to some of Baker’s allegations.

The United States did not intervene in Baker’s allegations as to SCP payments made to two other affiliated New Mexico hospitals, Carlsbad Medical Center and Lea Regional Medical Center.

The settlement also resolves these other allegations, according to the Department of Justice.

“The government never would have found out

2004 with the remodeling of University High School.

“After this set right here, there’s four more schools that need renovation,” Burris said. “With these four, there are four more after that, and that’s it. And schools are built to serve 50 to 75 years. When these are done, we’re good.”

In the past 10 years, more than $125 million worth of construction has taken place within the Roswell school district. Of that amount, $39.5 million came from local general obligation bonds, while $85.5 million came from state oil and gas royalty proceeds.

RISD’s four schools that have not been renovated in recent years are Washington Avenue Elementary School, Mountain View Middle School and Goddard and Roswell high schools.

“I know talking to civic groups around the city, we have done $125 million of construction in the last 10 years, $39 million of that has come from local taxation,” Burris said. “The rest has come from oil and gas severance taxes from around the state. It’s good for our community.”

Every RISD bond election has passed in the past decade, although a bond election for ENMU-R failed a year ago.

The College Community Board has total authority over taxing and bonding and other fiscal issues relating to the Roswell campus. It also serves as an advisory board to the ENMU Board of Regents, which has the authority over curriculum and administrative issues.

tems, Inc. and CHS/Community Health Systems, Inc. were dismissed from the case, according to Linthicum. The remaining defendants (Eastern New Mexico Medical Center, Mimbres Memorial Hospital and Nursing Home, Alta Vista Regional Medical Center, and Community Health Systems Professional Services Corporation) entered into a settlement agreement and collectively will pay $75 million to resolve the matter.

“Under the terms of the settlement, there is no finding or admission of improper conduct by the hospital or any other entity,” Linthicum said. “We settled the allegations in order to end a case that has been pending since 2005 and to avoid the continued expense and uncertainty of ongoing litigation.”

“Congress expressly intended that states and counties use their own money when seeking federal matching funds in order to encourage them to join the federal gov-

about this alleged quidpro-quo practice without Robert Baker’s help,” said Peter W Chatfield, an attorney with the law firm Phillips & Cohen LLP, which brought the whistleblower lawsuit on behalf of Baker.

“For every dollar a CHS hospital donated to the county, it received an amount equivalent to the ‘donation’ plus $3 back in supplemental Medicaid payments – making it a very lucrative investment for CHS and its hospitals,” Chatfield said.

Baker will receive $18,671,561 as his share of the government’s recovery.

“As a provider of quality healthcare services for local residents, we are glad to put this case behind us,” Linthicum said, “and to move forward continuing to provide quality care to our community.”

Opinion

Roswell Daily Record

Population drops in 2014, departures way up We got smaller last year.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the statement introduced a celebration of statewide weight loss? Not exactly, though our total weight may have been less on July 1, 2014, than a year earlier. Any weight loss would be because there were fewer people in the state, 1,540 to be exact.

Specifically, the Census Bureau estimates that New Mexico lost 1,540 people (or 0.06 percent) during the 2013-14 year. The estimates were released December 23.

Six states presented similar attractiveness to the population. On a percentage basis, four outperformed us: West Virginia (-0.18 percent); Illinois (-0.08 percent); Connecticut and Alaska (both -0.07 percent).

This single population performance number reflects four elements: births, deaths, people moving internationally and people moving from state to state.

Harold Morgan New Mexico Progress Statistically births and deaths are simple. Each event generates a piece of paper, a certificate.

These are filed with the state and counted, accurately one presumes. About 16,500 New Mexicans die each year, a figure that grows a few hundred each year, based on the past four years. The number of births, around 27,000 annually, declines about 500 each year.

Necessarily, the number of people moving must be estimated.

Techniques are well established.

An estimated number really occupies a range.

Anecdotes prove nothing. Even

so, here are mine. In recent weeks two Albuquerque-based managers were promoted to new positions. One, who has some college, is now running a secondary brand cellphone store in Las Vegas, Nev. The other has a top-school science Ph.D. More responsibility and money were the lure back to California from a position here with world-wide responsibility.

The third migrant is my daughter. Her path has been college in Colorado, two unhappy years in Los Angeles, three underpaid years in Albuquerque, three good years in Lincoln, Neb., (where she went for love) and now a staff position with a small New Hampshire firm with nationwide business.

From 2011 to 2014, other states drew 32,257 more people from the state than moved here from other states. That’s a few more than live in Grant County.

Because these departures spread

across the state, we don’t notice the impact, maybe an occasional empty house here and there.

For perspective, consider Grant County—Silver City and environs, population about 30,000—as having emptied during the past three years.

The trend is what counts. In 2012, about 7,500 people left for another state. Two years later in 2014, the departures were up 87 percent to 14,154. From 2011 to 2014, about 6,700 people came here from another country.

In 2014 the four elements— rapidly increasing movement to other states, some moves from other countries, more deaths and fewer births—together produced the 1,540 person population loss.

Return to the thrilling days of yesteryear, as the introduction to the Lone Ranger’s introduction implored us. Before the great recession, that is. In 2006, the movement numbers were 8,800 in from other states and 5,400

from other countries. Throw in 15,400 more births than deaths and the state population grew nearly 29,000 that year.

Things have changed.

We can only guess about those people departing to other states.

Some retirees, for sure. A few wanderers. Nearly all, however, seem likely to be chasing opportunity as are the people mentioned above. Another group of opportunists, as it were, will be young families, people seeking jobs and a chance for their children.

A third of people born in New Mexico leave, according to a recent New York Times report.

They go to Texas, California, Arizona and Colorado, where the nation’s fifth-highest median household income beckons. Show me the money. People move here from Texas, California and the Midwest. Show me the sunsets.

Editorial Politicians shouldn’t pick their voters Is trying to prevent gerrymandering unconstitutional? That’s the unpersuasive argument being made by Arizona legislators in a case the Supreme Court will hear next month.

In 2000, Arizona voters approved Proposition 106, a ballot measure that took redistricting out of the hands of state legislators and created the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, a five-member body tasked with drawing new district lines free from political interference.

Whether that commission will survive is now an open question. Arizona lawmakers allege that having an independent commission violates Article I, Section IV, of the Constitution, which leaves to state legislatures the task of determining the “times, places and manner of holding elections for senators and representatives.”

The fate of this case has serious implications for California, which created its own redistricting panel through a 2008 ballot initiative. That’s why former Governors George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson and Arnold Schwarzenegger are among those who’ve signed on to a brief supporting the independent commission.

Their argument: That both the text of the Constitution and subsequent federal law allow a state’s voters to exercise legislative power through direct democracy. We hope that argument prevails in court.

While California is sometimes too enthusiastic for novel political reforms, stripping the redistricting power from the Legislature was the right thing to do. Any electoral system where the rules are set by incumbents will inevitably succumb to corruption and self-dealing. The redistricting process needs to focus on the best interests of the voters, not the best interests of the two major political parties.

One of the hallmarks of the current era in American politics is a sense of widespread distrust towards our major institutions. That should come as no surprise when even tasks as simple as mapping out the borders of legislative districts are fraught with partisan intrigue. That is one of the reasons why it’s so essential to keep these independent commissions alive: They perform the vital civic function of restoring some measure of trust in government.

Here’s hoping the Supreme Court sees it the same way.

The age of sustainable development is NOW When you consider where technology is going to take the human race you cannot avoid the impact of how to do that without “sustainable development.”

To understand what was meant by the phrase “The Age of Sustainable Development,” I took a 14 week online class from Columbia University, in New York City, by that same name. The class was taught by world renowned professor Jeffery David Sachs, an adviser to the UN and world governments on the topics of economic development, environmental sustainability, poverty alleviation, debt cancellation, and globalization (ref: Bio). I joined the class on week 14 and binged my way through it in 5 long days. It was actually one of the better classes I have taken through

Martin Kral Guest Columnist the MOOC Online Global Program which I highly recommend to anyone who wants to get a good education on many different topics from around the world. Most classes are video lectures and usually in English with written course material too.

The Age of Sustainable Development class syllabus was quite diverse in the topics that it addresses in just a 14 week period. For me the common thread through all the topics of discussion was the

species called humans. That is, the ‘abundance’ of people was the primary reason why we had to look at existing and future development as sustainable or not.

It seemed to me that the professor focused on sustainable development goals that needed to be agreed upon by the world to balance sustained socio-economic growth with the sustainable use of natural resources and the conservation of ecosystem services. For those of you who might be familiar with Agenda 21, this class pretty much followed that ideology. I will leave it up to you to research Agenda 21 to find out what the world has planned for you. Without being too critical about Agenda 21, let me leave you with this one thought: What is a zebra? — A horse

designed by a committee based on a consensus.

There was one chapter (week) that sparked my interest more than the other weeks and that was the discussion about planetary boundaries.

The earth is a finite object floating around the sun 365+ days a year. The sun had a beginning ~4.5 billion years ago and it will have an ending ~5 billion years from now.

How scientists know this I cannot answer and take it on faith. However, if we look at the tiny little speck of time that we do know about, we can understand that there are some planetary boundaries that we should be aware of.

For example, do we have limits on how much energy there is, how much food we can produce or how many people the

There are many people, like myself, who desperately need help coping with life’s problems.

I’m told Turquoise is funded by an entity in Arizona. Thus they have no concern for nor interest in the people of New Mexico.

If they pull the funding for Turquoise, where will the people of Roswell go for treatment?

DEAR DOCTOR K: What is MRSA? What makes it so dangerous?

DEAR READER: We have a brain, and bacteria don’t. So you’d think bacteria wouldn’t be able to outsmart us. But they sure can figure out ways to become resistant to the antibiotics we use to kill them.

In the early days of antibiotics, 70 years ago, one of the most common and dangerous types of bacteria — Staphylococcus aureus — could be killed by penicillin. However, these bacteria soon developed resistance to penicillin. So we invented another antibiotic, methicillin, which killed them.

So far, so good.

Then, these bacteria developed resistance to methicillin. These bacteria are called MRSA: methicillin-resistant

Ask Dr. K United Media Syndicate Staphylococcus aureus. MRSA is dangerous because it cannot be treated with many standard antibiotics.

MRSA behaves much like other staph bacteria. It most often lives in the nose or on the skin without causing disease. But all staph bacteria have the potential to cause trouble. They can cause boils or other mild skin infections, as well as life-threatening lung and blood infections.

Some strains of MRSA have evolved other threatening features. For example, white blood cells from the body’s immune system normally work together with an antibiotic to destroy bacteria. A hardy strain of MRSA destroys white blood cells. Other MRSA strains have developed ways to spread more easily from one person to the next.

In the community, spread of MRSA is more likely between people who: • Don’t maintain good personal hygiene; • Don’t wash their hands frequently; • Share contaminated items, such as towels or razors.

But even the cleanest person can spread MRSA. You might shake the hand of a person carrying MRSA, or you

could touch an object shortly after a person with MRSA had touched it.

The best way to prevent MRSA and other infections is to wash your hands frequently with soap and water. If you can’t get to a sink, use an alcohol-based hand cleanser.

Here are some more tips to help avoid picking up and spreading MRSA and other germs: • Keep cuts or scrapes clean. Cover them with bandages and change the bandages daily. If you develop increasing redness, swelling or pain around a cut, call your doctor.

• Don’t share personal items such as razors, towels and sheets.

• Wash workout clothes

Analysis: Obama challenges GOP again, this time with budget WASHINGTON (AP) — With higher taxes on the wealthy and billions in new spending, President Barack Obama’s no-balance budget lays down an audacious challenge to Republicans who swept to full control of Congress last fall and now claim a mandate to eliminate deficits over the next decade.

Make that the second audacious challenge in the past three weeks — coming after a State of the Union address in which Obama threatened to veto Republican legislative priorities and demanded lawmakers enact his own.

Then, as now, his objective was in part to help Democrats in Congress recover from their election drubbing, and in part to

position them and his party as the champion of the middle class in advance of the 2016 campaign. To do that, he tars Republicans as apostles of a “mindless austerity” that has set back the economic recovery and was woven into a recent history that includes a partial government shutdown and flirtation with default.

Policies adopted after Republicans took control of the House in 2011 “hurt, rather than helped, the economy,” his budget says, although it fails to mention that Obama once negotiated seriously if unsuccessfully with Speaker John Boehner over billions of dollars in savings to Social Security and Medicare.

Obama proposes new agency to make Americans’ food safer WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama wants to create a new government agency dedicated to keeping the nation’s food safe.

The proposal in the president’s budget released Monday comes after outbreaks of illnesses linked to chicken, eggs, peanuts and cantaloupe in recent years.

More than a dozen federal agencies oversee food safety, and consumer advocates have long called for bringing all those functions together in a single home.

Currently, the Department of Agriculture oversees the safety and inspections of meat and processed eggs and the Food and Drug Administration oversees safety of most other foods. The split oversight is often complicated — the FDA would be responsible for the safety of a frozen cheese pizza, for example, but USDA takes over part of the duties if the pizza has meat on it.

USDA inspects meat daily as it is processed, while the FDA generally conducts inspections every few years. The two agencies share inspection duties at the border.

The budget proposes consolidating the Agriculture Department’s Food Safety and Inspection Service and all of FDA’s food safety oversight into one

new agency within the Department of Health and Human Services. The new agency also would coordinate with state and local health departments, a job that is now mostly handled by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The budget says the current system’s “fractured oversight and disparate regulatory approaches” cause confusion. Consolidation “is an essential step to reforming the federal food safety system overall,” Obama’s budget says.

The administration said the agency would be based at HHS because food safety and foodborne outbreaks are public health concerns, which are consistent with the larger mission of the department.

The changes are likely to meet opposition on Capitol Hill. Many in the food industry have long opposed a shift, fearing increased oversight, and those companies have powerful allies in the new Republican Congress.

In 2010, Congress passed a sweeping food safety law that gave the government new powers to inspect processing plants, order recalls and impose stricter standards for imported foods.

Death toll from GM ignition switches rises to at least 51 DETROIT (AP) — The families of 51 people who died in crashes caused by faulty ignition switches in small General Motors cars will get payments from a company fund, but others will have to wait months for decisions on thousands of new claims.

Compensation expert Kenneth Feinberg has also deemed 77 people injured in crashes as eligible for payments from the fund, which received at least 4,180 claims by a Saturday deadline, including more than 1,100 in the past week.

But attorneys, lawmakers and at least one family member say some were forced to settle with Feinberg rather than run the risk that they would not be able to sue GM because of its 2009 bankruptcy agreement.

Camille Biros, deputy administrator of the fund who has worked with Feinberg to compensate victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the BP oil spill, said the last-minute flurry of activity is common in compensation cases. She says the number of claims could rise, because those filed by mail had to be postmarked by Jan. 31.

More death and injury claims are likely to be granted, Biros said, but it could take until late spring to sort through all of the paperwork.

GM was aware of faulty ignition switches on Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars for more than a decade, but it did not recall them until 2014. On 2.6 million GM vehicles worldwide, the switches can slip out of the “on” position, causing the cars to stall, knocking out power steering and turning off the air bags.

Plaintiff’s attorneys and some lawmakers have said the fund deadline should have been extended because victims do not know yet whether they can sue General Motors Co., the new company that emerged from bankruptcy protection in July 2009.

The bankruptcy agreement sends claims from pre-bankruptcy crashes to “Old GM,” which has few assets. Some lawyers are seeking to overturn that, claiming that GM deceived the bankruptcy court by hiding the switch defect.

GM has asked the court to enforce the bankruptcy order, and a hearing is scheduled for later this week.

AP Photo

This Friday, May 16, 2014, file photo, shows the General Motors logo at the company’s world headquarters in Detroit. More than 1,100 claims were filed in the week before the Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015, deadline to seek payments from the General Motors ignition switch compensation fund, with 51 death and 77 injury claims being granted.

Ken Rimer, whose 18-year-old stepdaughter, Natasha Weigel, was killed with two other women in a 2006 Cobalt crash in Wisconsin, felt the legal system was stacked against his family, almost forcing them into a “take-it-or-leave-it” situation with Feinberg.

The family, he said, was not sure if the bankruptcy ruling would prevent a lawsuit against the new General Motors. Also, the case could have been caught up in the federal court system, avoiding a hometown jury.

Then it would be returned to Wisconsin to set damages, and he says that state has a cap on the amount that can be awarded in a child’s death.

“You either take it or you’re done,” he said. “That was our best opportunity with the cards that we had been dealt.”

Once he got to Feinberg, though, he felt the family was treated fairly. The family has not disclosed how much money it received.

Bob Hilliard, a Texas attorney who represented Weigel’s family and has more than 1,100 other clients suing GM, said there was no way he could advise those with post-bankruptcy crashes to reject Feinberg’s offers.

Obituaries

Stuart Kinley Davis

Stuart Kinley Davis was born July 13, 1943 in Harper, Kansas, to Wendell K. Davis and Fern Grace (Davidson) and died Jan. 29, 2015 peacefully, at home in Roswell, surrounded by love and light after a long, brave battle with lung disease.

He learned early a strong work ethic and carried that with him throughout his many enterprises: as a soldier in the Navy who served three tours of duty in Vietnam, as a mechanic, businessman, farmer, inventor, and horseman.

He was hard and complicated and often a curmudgeon, but did his best to be a good son, brother, father, husband and friend. As it

turned out, he had a soft, sweet underbelly that he showed more and more as his end here grew near. His love was a fierce love.

He is survived by his wife, Valli West-Davis, his daughter Tracy Sauceda and son-in-law Martin Sauceda, his son Brad Davis, his grandchildren Kyle and Keirsten Sauceda, Daylin, Kylie, Cole and Mackenzie Davis, his brother Jerry Davis and sister-in-law Martina Davis.

Stuart’s ashes will be buried at the Santa Fe National Cemetery at a later date.

Friends wishing to make a memorial contribution may make them to Roswell Humane Society, 703 E. McGaffey, Roswell, NM, 88203.

Roberta Crosby Burkstaller

Services are pending at Ballard Funeral Home and Crematory for Roberta Crosby Burkstaller, 93, who passed away Sunday, Feb. 1, 2015 at his home.

A further announcement will be made once arrangements have been finalized.

know the consequence of your turning down an award,” he said.

Although Biros said the settlements were comparable to what people would get in a lawsuit, Hilliard disagreed, saying a jury verdict would be substantially higher.

She said that families often want closure rather than worrying about the uncertainty of a lawsuit.

She said the deadline was previously extended by a month, and more than 1,600 claims were filed in January, the most of any month.

As of Sunday, the fund had received 455 death claims and 3,447 for injuries. Of the total, Feinberg has decided that about 12 percent, or 482, aren’t eligible for payment. Another 965 have deficient information, while 1,502 were turned in without documentation. Another 1,103 claims are under review, according to a posting on the fund’s website.

People will be given several chances to provide information to back up their claims, Biros said. Most of the denied claims were not models covered by the fund, or the air bags inflated in the crashes. If the air bags deployed, that means the cars had power and

the ignition switches were working and not at fault, Feinberg has said.

About 40 claims have been paid thus far, but Biros and GM would not say how much money had been awarded.

Around half the death and injury claims granted so far involve people 25 years old or younger, Biros said. The Cobalt and other small cars with the bad switches were sold largely to younger people because they were inexpensive and marketed by GM as being safe. But experts say younger, inexperienced drivers would be less able to handle a car that had stalled and lost its power steering.

Initially, GM had said at least 13 people had died in crashes caused by the switches, but the company has always said the toll would rise. Legislators have estimated that at least 100 people were killed.

Last year GM set aside $400 million to make payments, but conceded that could grow to $600 million.

Compensation for deaths starts at $1 million. GM has placed no cap on the amount of money he can spend, Feinberg has said.

Opium farmers expand plots to supply US heroin boom

SIERRA MADRE DEL SUR, Mexico (AP) — Red and purple blossoms with fat, opium-filled bulbs blanket the remote creek sides and gorges of the Filo Mayor mountains in the southern state of Guerrero.

The multibillion-dollar Mexican opium trade starts here, with poppy farmers so poor they live in woodplank, tin-roofed shacks with no indoor plumbing.

Mexican farmers from three villages interviewed

by The Associated Press are feeding a growing addiction in the U.S., where heroin use has spread from back alleys to the cul-de-sacs of suburbia.

The heroin trade is a losing prospect for everyone except the Mexican cartels, who have found a new way to make money in the face of falling cocaine consumption and marijuana legalization in the United States.

Once smaller-scale producers of low-grade black tar, Mexican drug traffickers are now refining opium paste into high-grade white heroin and flooding the world’s largest market for illegal drugs, using the distribution routes they built for marijuana and cocaine.

It is a business that even the farmers don’t like. In a rare interview with reporters, the villagers told The Associated Press that it’s too difficult to ship farm products on roads so rough and close to the sky that cars are in constant danger of tumbling off the single-lane dirt roads that zig-zag up to the fields. They say the small plastic-wrapped bricks of gummy opium paste are the only thing that will guarantee them a cash income.

“Almost everyone thinks the people in these mountains are bad people, and that’s not true,” said Humberto Nava Reyna, the head of the Supreme Council of the Towns of the Filo Mayor, a group that promotes development projects in the mountains. “They can’t stop planting poppies as long as there is demand, and the government doesn’t provide any help.”

Villagers granted the AP access to their farms and agreed to interviews only if they were not identified, fearing it could draw attention from government drug eradicators or vengeful traffickers.

Residents say there are no local users. They hate the taste of the bitter paste, which they sometimes rub into their gums to sooth an aching tooth.

It all goes for export, a lucrative business mostly run by the Sinaloa Cartel.

According to the DEA’s 2014 National Drug Threat Assessment, Mexico produces nearly half of the heroin found in the United States, up from 39 percent in 2008. While Afganistan is by far the world’s largest producer, it largely sends to markets in Europe and Asia.

Mexican government seizures of opium and eradication of poppy plantations have skyrocketed in recent years. The trends are consistent: Opium paste seizures in Mexico were up 500 percent between 2013 and 2014; poppy field eradications were up 47 percent; and seizures of the processed drug increased 42 percent. Along the U.S. border they are three times what they were in 2009.

Mexican heroin has become cheaper and more powerful at a time when Americans hooked on pharmaceutical opiates are looking for an affordable alternative. Combined with dangerous additives like fentanyl, a synthetic opiate also produced in Mexico, it is blamed for a wave of new addictions and overdoses in the U.S. Heroin deaths doubled from 2011 to 2013, while deaths from cocaine and prescription opiates remained steady, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

It used to be that Mexican cartels shipped brown heroin from Colombia along with their home-grown black tar. But all producers are making the high-grade white now, and Mexican criminal gangs have learned that they can increase their profits exponentially if they manage the whole production chain, as with methamphetamines, which they also control from precursor to user.

The Sinaloa cartel farms out most production of opium paste to smaller traffickers, according to growers, law enforcement and drug-trafficking experts interviewed by the AP. That kind of decentralized system is a recipe for setting Guerrero’s small, feuding drug gangs, the Rojos, Pelones, Guerreros Unidos and others, against each other.

Since 2012, Guerrero has been Mexico’s most violent state. But only recently has it gotten world attention, when 43 college students disappeared last September.

Etan Patz’s mom says in murder trial that boy was trusting

NEW YORK (AP) — Sixyear-old Etan Patz was supposed to be right outside riding his Big Wheel, but his mom, Julie, didn’t see him on the street. She raced down the block, frantic, panic rising. Then he rounded the corner, and relief flooded over her. She scolded him for giving her a fright.

It was the next day, May 25, 1979, that Etan would vanish.

He was on his way to school, a dollar in hand, headed first to the corner store before the bus stop. It was the first time the sandy-haired boy was allowed to walk the short trip alone.

Julie Patz testified Monday at the murder trial of former store clerk Pedro Hernandez, accused of killing her son. She said she walked Etan down the stairs of their Manhattan loft that day and told him not to dally after school.

“That was the last time I saw him. I watched him walk one block away,” 72-year-old Patz said. “I turned around and went back upstairs, and that was the last time.”

Etan’s best friend at the time, Chelsea Altman, testified that she had saved him

a seat on the bus, but he didn’t get on.

Etan’s disappearance captivated the nation, and it ushered in a new era of child protectiveness and a series of reforms that changed how law enforcement handles missing children. His body has never been found.

Hernandez was a teenage shop worker in 1979 when police jotted down his name among those of many people they met during their feverish search.

But it wasn’t until 2012 that Hernandez, 54, of Maple Shade, New Jersey, emerged as a suspect. The apparent breakthrough in the case was based on a tip and a videotaped confession that prosecutors say was foreshadowed by remarks he made to friends and relatives in the 1980s.

On Monday, Julie Patz recounted her time living in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood when her children were little. It was a very different place from the swank stretch of boutiques and eateries constantly crammed with tourists. It was gritty. Industrial. Some buildings had no power, others had no plumbing.

But the artists and other

creative types banded together to form a collective, she said.

The corner store was a safe zone for neighborhood children, a place parents told their kids to go in case of emergency. The owner, a relative of the suspect, was well known. And Etan was trusting, his mother said.

“Totally nonjudgmental about people,” she said.

“Everyone that he met once was his friend and was a nice person.”

But while Etan craved independence and was eager to become a grownup, Patz said, “at the same time, he was very fearful of being lost or left alone by himself.”

Patz, practiced at telling her story to lawmakers, talk-show hosts and other families of missing children, was conversational and composed, but she cried when talking about how she felt in the hours after she learned Etan hadn’t been at school.

“I don’t remember a thing about that night and the next day, quite honestly,” she said. She recalls only having “very rubbery legs,” an upset stomach and difficulty walking, thinking and talking.

His defense hinges on convincing jurors that the confession is false, along with suggesting that the real killer may be a convicted Pennsylvania child molester who was a prime suspect for years.

Etan became one of the first missing children featured on milk cartons. His parents helped advocate for legislation that created a nationwide law enforcement framework to address such cases, and the anniversary of his disappearance became National Missing Children’s Day. The trial is expected to last up to three months.

Manziel enters Tom Brady, in ‘midst of my unknown treatment career’ at 37, set on more titles PHOENIX (AP) — Tom Brady knows what’s next: more Super Bowl wins.

At least he hopes so.

The most successful quarterback of his era was still riding the high of his fourth NFL championship on the morning after New England’s 28-24 victory over Seattle. Brady had every right to look back at his four touchdown passes against the NFL’s topranked defense and beam.

Instead, he was looking ahead.

“I am still kind of in the midst of my career,” Brady said Monday before being presented with a car and his third Super Bowl MVP trophy, tying him with his boyhood idol, Joe Montana.

“I just love the game. I love playing. I love representing our team.”

That team — or previous versions of the Patriots he has quarterbacked — won three Super Bowls in four years, then lost in its next two trips to the big game. Brady knows how close the Patriots came to a third straight flop against the NFC champion, needing an interception with 20 seconds to go to clinch the crown.

“We’ve been on the other end of this two times in the last seven years, being ahead late in the game with the chance to win it, and not closing it out,” Brady said of losses in 2008 and 2012 to the New York Giants. “I’m glad we had the opportunity to do it. Coach talked all week about how it was going to take all 60 minutes and it certainly did.

“It never broke our will.

We were down 10 in the fourth quarter and (Seattle) being on the 1-yard line

The Patriots beat the Seattle Seahawks 28-24. Brady was named the game’s most valuable player. with 20 seconds left, but the guys never gave up.

And you fight until the end and great things happen.”

Brady knows all about great things, obviously. A two-time league MVP, he threw for four touchdowns against the NFL’s stingiest defense, and led a comeback from a 10-point deficit through three quarters.

He connected on all eight of his throws on the decisive drive that ended with a 3-yard TD pass to Julian Edelman.

Brady is 37 and has said he hopes to play well into his 40s, and he works hard to stay in top physical shape. So he doesn’t see his winning toss to Edelman as his final Super Bowl moment.

But he certainly recognizes how difficult the journey is.

“Yeah, absolutely,” he said. “I was a young kid when we won those first three. I know in ‘04 after

we beat the Eagles, I was like, ‘I’m just ready for this to be over, get the offseason started,’ just because we had experienced it.

Obviously, with some perspective of that game, it’s a hard thing to get here and then it’s a hard thing to win the game.

“Playing against the other best team, obviously, one play here, one play there, all things change, and we’ve been on the other end of that, too. So I’m just proud that we really got a chance to finish it out.”

His coach, Bill Belichick, recognizes the value of a likely first-ballot Hall of Fame quarterback running his offense. When the Patriots were being dominated by the Seahawks in the third quarter Sunday, Belichick understood that if they could keep it close, they had the closer.

“He’s a great player,” Belichick said. “It’s been a great privilege to coach

Seahawks’ decision to pass latest call to create controversy after game

AP Photo

New England Patriots strong safety Malcolm Butler (21) intercepts a pass intended for Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette (83) during the second half of NFL Super Bowl XLIX football game Sunday in Glendale, Ariz.

The Seattle Seahawks had both the Lombardi Trophy and greatness in their grasp with 36 inches and 26 seconds to go.

They watched their coronation as a modern day dynasty slip away with the decision not to put the ball in Marshawn Lynch’s hands.

In what some are viewing as one of the great miscalculations in sports history, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, backed by head

coach Pete Carroll, called for a pass play, leaving Lynch — and ultimately the rest of the Seahawks — stunningly empty-handed.

When Malcolm Butler stepped in front of Ricardo Lockette and picked off Russell Wilson’s pass, the undrafted and previously unheralded rookie sealed New England’s 28-24 Super Bowl win.

It also added Bevell and Carroll to the long list of sportsmen whose decisions backfired so spectacularly

so as to haunt and taunt the also-rans and their crestfallen fans.

Some choices that stand out for their deleterious results:

Tom for the last 15 years, 14 years as starting quarterback. We have a great relationship. We meet on a regular basis weekly several times.

“I can’t think of a more deserving player than Tom to be the recipient of the accolades that he has this week, and particularly last night and today here. He’s our leader. He competes as well as any player I’ve ever coached. He’s well-prepared. He has great poise and great presence. He may not always be perfect, as it is for any of us. We all have our moments, but Tom, like many other players on our team, is the guy that fights to the end and competes until the end.

“There’s no player I respect more for that than Tom. That’s been a great pillar of strength for our football team for the past decade and a half.”

And, according to Brady, for a while into the future.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Johnny Manziel has sought help to change his off-field lifestyle.

Following a rough rookie season in the NFL, Manziel has entered a treatment program for unspecified reasons, an adviser for the Browns quarterback said in a statement released by the team on Monday.

“Johnny knows there are areas he needs to improve on to help him be a better family member, friend and teammate, so he decided to take this step in his life during the offseason,” Manziel adviser Brad Beckworth said. Beckworth said the former Heisman Trophy winner entered the unnamed facility last week. He said Manziel’s family is asking for privacy until he rejoins the team.

Beckworth’s statement did not indicate reasons for Manziel needing treatment.

However, the 22-year-old QB’s penchant for partying followed him from college into the pros and Manziel’s nightlife has been well-chronicled by both social and mainstream media.

The location of the facility where Manziel is staying is not immediately known.

Browns general manager Ray Farmer said in a statement that the team fully supports Manziel and respects his initiative in entering treatment. The team will respect Manziel’s privacy during treatment, he said.

“Our players’ health and well-being will always be of the utmost importance to the Cleveland Browns,” Farmer said. “We continually strive to create a supportive environment and provide the appropriate resources, with our foremost focus being on the individual and not just the football player.”

Citing privacy laws, a

Browns spokesman declined to provide any further information about Manziel’s situation.

Browns wide receiver Andrew Hawkins offered his support to Manziel on Twitter.

“Much love and support to my brother Johnny,” Hawkins wrote. “Proud of him, big step. Football is secondary. God Bless!”

Manziel, who won the Heisman as a freshman at Texas A&M where his playmaking skills earned him his “Johnny Football” nickname, has faced questions for several years about his active nightlife. After he was drafted in May by the Browns in the first round, Manziel was repeatedly photographed drinking alcohol during weekend trips to Las Vegas. A photograph of Manziel floating on an inflatable swan raft swigging a bottle of champagne went viral.

The Browns became increasingly concerned about Manziel when a photo surfaced of Manziel holding a rolled bill in a bathroom.

Manziel often dismissed criticism about his behavior, insisting he wasn’t going to let others dictate to him how to live his life. However, following the season, Manziel seemed embarrassed by some of his choices and vowed to change his ways.

“It’s about actions,” he somberly told reporters on Dec. 29. “It’s about being accountable and doing what I’m going to say. ... I’m either going to learn or I’m going to be finding something else to do.”

Manziel spent the majority of last season as starter Brian Hoyer’s backup before coach Mike Pettine switched their roles with the team still See MANZIEL, Page B3

Falcons hire Seahawks’ Dan Quinn as new coach ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons’ long wait for new leadership on the field finally ended Monday when Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn was named the team’s coach.

The Falcons said Quinn will be introduced at a news conference on Tuesday. Quinn replaces Mike Smith, who was fired following a 6-10 finish in 2014.

The team did not release details of the deal, but a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press earlier Monday that Quinn agreed to a fiveyear contract.

Falcons owner Arthur Blank said he was impressed by Quinn’s “definitive plan for our football team and what it will take to win on a consistent basis.”

“He also has a proven ability to develop players by maximizing their individual strengths,” Blank said.

The Falcons exercised patience while waiting for Quinn, who could not be offered a job until after Seattle’s 28-24 Super Bowl

loss Sunday night to the New England Patriots.

“This felt like the right fit from the beginning, and I want to thank Mr. Blank for his resolve as this was an extended and complicated process,” Quinn said in a statement released by the team. “My goal is to build upon the foundation that has been laid here and to play a physical brand of football as we build a championship caliber team.”

Quinn, 44, helped Seattle reach back-to-back Super Bowls. Seattle beat Denver in last year’s championship.

His strong record in his two years with Seattle won over the Falcons, who have struggled on defense while finishing a combined 10-22 the past two seasons. The Falcons allowed the most total yards and yards passing in the league this season.

The Seahawks led the NFL in scoring defense, total defense and takeaways while winning the Super Bowl last season.

Quinn’s defense shined in the Super Bowl win over

Peyton Manning and the Broncos. He previously was defensive line coach for the Seahawks, 49ers, Dolphins and Jets.

Seattle ranked sixth in total defense this season.

Quinn followed Detroit defensive coordinator Teryl Austin as the second candidate to have a follow-up interview with the Falcons.

Quinn’s second interview came in the bye week following the AFC championship game. Blank on Monday thanked Seattle coach Pete Carroll for granting Quinn permission for the follow-up meeting with the Falcons.

“I would like to personally thank Seahawks coach Pete Carroll for his patience and support during our head coach search,” Blank said. “I’m sure the Seahawks will be sorry to see Dan leave, but no one has been more supportive of this opportunity for Dan than Pete.”

Carroll recently described Quinn as “a great communicator” and “a fantastic See QUINN, Page B2

Edelman cleared to play after concussion test in Super Bowl PHOENIX (AP) — Julian Edelman passed a concussion test after a big hit in the Super Bowl appeared to leave him groggy, allowing him to continue and catch the winning touchdown a few minutes later, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Monday.

The Patriots top wide receiver was leveled by Seahawks safety Kam Chancellor after a 21-yard completion with just under 11 minutes left in New England’s 28-24 win over Seattle on Sunday night.

After that series, Edelman was checked on the New England sideline by medical staff and an inde-

pendent neurologist and cleared to return, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick said Monday he doesn’t handle medical issues.

“I’m a coach and I had a deal with our trainers and

doctors,” he told reporters during a news conference the morning after winning the NFL title. “They’re the medical experts and they don’t call plays, and I’m the coach and I don’t get involved in the medical part. When they clear players to play, then if we want to play them we play them.

The plays we call, I don’t

have to get approval from them. It’s a good setup.”

Under the NFL’s concussion protocol, team doctors are ultimately responsible for diagnosing concussions and deciding whether to allow players to return to games, though independent neurologists help on sidelines and unaffiliated athletic trainers review replays

to help recognize potential injuries.

Before a player can return to a game, teams are required to complete a twopage sideline assessment, looking for obvious signs of a concussion and testing other things like orientation, concentration and See EDELMAN Page B3

teacher. He’s got a real toughness about him --innovative.”

Carroll said Quinn has “tremendous relationships wherever he’s been around the league. He’s been a guy that wherever he goes people rave about. We feel the same way.”

While the Falcons waited to complete their interview process with Quinn, other candidates, including Rex Ryan, were hired by other teams. Ryan, the former Jets coach, had one interview with Atlanta before accepting a job as Buffalo’s coach.

Arizona defensive coordinator Todd Bowles called off a second interview with Atlanta to become the Jets’ coach.

The Falcons also interviewed New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Broncos offensive coordinator Adam Gase, former Bills coach Doug Marrone and Atlanta special teams coach Keith Armstrong.

Quinn was the University of Florida’s defensive coordinator in 2011-12 before taking over the Seahawks’ defense.

Quinn, a native of Morristown, New Jersey, was a defensive lineman at and two-time co-captain at Division III Salisbury State in Maryland. He was inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame in 2005.

Smith had a 66-46 regular-season record in seven seasons, including two NFC South titles. He had winning seasons in each of his first five years with the team — bringing instant relevance to a franchise which previously had never enjoyed back-toback winning seasons.

The Falcons won only one of five playoff games under Smith.

Pooped Pedro:

Just five outs from guiding Boston to the World Series, manager Grady Little left an exhausted Pedro Martinez in Game 7 of the 2003 AL Championship Series. Martinez had just given up three consecutive hits and was clearly done. After Little returned to the dugout without his ace, Jorge Posada hit the game-tying double and the Red Sox went on to lose. The curse lived on for another year.

Best Benched:

While Al Michaels was shouting, “Do you believe in miracles? Yes!” Soviet hockey fans on Feb. 22, 1980, were asking, “Why isn’t Vladislav Tretiak between the pipes? No!” Soviet coach Victor Tikhonov benched the world’s best goaltender with the score tied at 2 after the first period. The American team made up of mostly college kids capitalized against backup Vladimir Myshkin to beat the mighty Soviets 4-3 in the “Miracle on Ice.”

Vexed Van de Velde:

Needing just a double bogey to win the 1999 British Open, Frenchman Jean Van de Velde decided not to play things conservatively and triple bogeyed the 18th hole, forcing a three-way playoff with Paul Lawrie and Justin Leonard that he lost. The lasting image from golf’s biggest implosion was Van de Velde slipping off his socks and shoes and stepping into the knee-deep water to reclaim his third shot.

Selden leads No. 9 Kansas past No. 15 Iowa State

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Wayne Selden Jr. scored 19 points in a hot-shooting second half to spark No. 9 Kansas past No. 15 Iowa State 89-76 on Monday night.

Selden, after missing all three of his shots and scoring only one point in the first half, drilled four of his first five 3-pointers after intermission, often finding himself virtually unguarded on the right wing, as the Jayhawks (19-3, 8-1 Big 12) padded their lead in the Big 12 race to 1½ games.

Georges Niang had 24 points for Iowa State (165, 6-3), which dropped out of a second-place tie with West Virginia.

Leading 35-28 after a seesaw first half, the Jayhawks reeled off a 14-6 run the first 4 minutes, 45 seconds after intermission, with Selden scoring eight points, including two uncontested 3-pointers.

Iowa State called time out and tried to regroup after Selden’s second 3-pointer put Kansas on top 49-34 but never got the lead under nine points.

Perry Ellis’s three-point play gave the Jayhawks breathing room at 77-63 with less than 3 minutes

left. Ellis had 17 points and Kelly Oubre Jr. had 16 for the Jayhawks, who have beaten Iowa State at home 10 straight times.

Bryce Dejean-Jones had 14 points for Iowa State and Monte Morris had 12.

Niang’s steal and Jameel McKay’s dunk sliced the lead briefly to single-digits at 54-45 but Kansas scored the next seven points, four on Oubre’s baskets and three on a shot by Selden, who was 5 for 7 from behind the arc.

Oubre connected on two straight 3-pointers to make it 31-24 in the final seconds of the half, then Frank Mason stole an Iowa State pass and Ellis converted it into a layup on the other end, sending the Jayhawks into halftime with a 35-28 lead over the team that handed them an 86-81 home loss on Jan. 17.

In a back-and-forth first half, Iowa State’s defense forced Kansas to take several bad shots as the Cyclones surged to an early 7-point lead.

Dustin Hogue scored five straight points and boosted Iowa State to make it 18-11 lead, then Greene and Ellis drilled back-to-back 3-pointers before Niang’s

ATLANTA (AP) — The Braves are trying to be optimistic after a flurry of offseason moves signaled the franchise going into rebuilding mode.

Three pitchers were at Turner Field on Monday for voluntary workouts leading up to spring training, all looking to put a positive spin on the dealing of sluggers Justin Upton, Jason Heyward and Evan Gattis.

“We have a group of guys who kind of have a chip on their shoulder,” said left-handed pitcher Alex Wood, expected to be one of the few holdovers on this year’s roster. “Guys that want to come out and show what they can still do and show what they’re going to do for us younger guys down the road. It’s exciting to go in with a chip on your shoulder. I think it’s going to bring a lot of guys on this team together.”

Wood was joined by new-

comers Shelby Miller and Michael Kohn on a cold, blustery day that hardly seemed indicative of spring training being just a few weeks away. The first workout for Atlanta’s pitchers and catchers is scheduled for Feb. 21 at the Disney World complex near Orlando, Florida; the full squad gets started on Feb. 26.

Miller was acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals in the deal for Heyward, one of the few major leagueready players acquired in Atlanta’s plethora of trades.

Upton and Gattis were both dealt for prospects, part of the team’s goal to rebuild a once-mighty farm system that has fallen on hard times.

While those moves could pay huge dividends a few years down the road, they’ve stripped away the perception of the Braves as a perennial contender, a team that has been to the playoffs 17 times in the last

Braves embrace underdog role as they enter rebuilding mode in 2015 24 years.

Atlanta, which captured the NL East with 96 wins just two seasons ago, is now cast in the role of underdog.

Wood said the team plans to embrace it.

“That’s the great thing about baseball. You don’t have to have nine superstars,” Wood said. “We’re going to play a different brand of baseball. We’ll probably play a closer brand of real baseball. I guess I’m kind of old school — I guess it’s the coaches I had growing up — but I think we’re going to be a team that really does the small things right. Partially, because we’re going to have to. But partially, because I think that’s the way this team has been put together.”

Miller and Kohn are hardly the only new faces heading into spring. There’s a chance that as few as eight players who started

last season with the team will be there for opening day this year.

In the clubhouse at Turner Field, only a handful of lockers contained gear from last season, the most striking sign that this will be a vastly different roster in 2015.

That’s not necessarily a bad thing, considering the Braves slumped to a 79-83 record, finished a whopping 17 games behind the Washington Nationals and had one of the lowest-scoring offenses in baseball — even with Upton, Heyward and Gattis. Also, Wood and others have indicated there was a bit of discord in the clubhouse, players splitting off into cliques and unable to muster any sense of camaraderie to help pull out of a late-season slide.

recall. The protocol is then compared with baseline tests taken in the preseason.

Edelman missed the last two regular-season games with a concussion and led the team with 92 receptions. He played in all three postseason games and led the Patriots with 109 yards on nine catches in the Super Bowl.

After the game, Edelman said, “we’re not allowed to talk about injuries.”

Brady, who won his third Super Bowl MVP award, said Edelman ran a great route on the play but Chancellor was able to get a “good shot on him.”

“Yeah, he took a big hit on what I thought, obviously, (was) one of the big plays of the game,” Brady said. “He got up and kept running. Obviously, they ruled him down, but it was a huge hit.”

Edelman stayed in the game and four snaps later, caught a 21-yard pass to the 4. Two plays later, Brady threw one of his four touchdowns to Danny Amendola to cut Seattle’s lead to 24-21.

With Edelman on the sideline after that touchdown, the Seahawks went 3-and-out. Edelman made a fair catch on the punt and was back on the field for the start of the Patriots winning drive with just under seven minutes remaining.

On the third play of the 10-play series he caught a 9-yard completion. And on the 10th play, from the 3-yard line, he spun around backup cornerback Tharold Simon on the left side and caught a 3-yard scoring pass for the 28-24 lead with 2:02 left.

“Coach called a return route,” Edelman said.

“They hit hard so we had to take advantage of our ... strengths (which) are our quickness and we were able to do that.”

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Malcolm Brogdon scored 17 points and No. 3 Virginia’s defense locked down in the second half to beat No. 12 North Carolina 75-64 on Monday night.

Justin Anderson added 16 for the Cavaliers (20-1, 8-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who responded to their first loss of the season by blowing open a tight game at halftime for an impressive road win.

Coming off Saturday’s loss to Duke in one of the program’s biggest home games in years, Virginia erased a 33-32 halftime deficit by shooting 50 percent while holding the Tar Heels (17-6, 7-3) completely in check to build an 18-point lead and improve to 8-0 in true road games this year.

After shooting 52 percent in the first half, UNC went just 11-for-29 (38 percent) after halftime while preseason ACC player of the year Marcus Paige struggled for open looks against Brogdon’s constant defensive harassment.

Paige finished with 15 on 5-for-10 shooting, though

a good chunk of that production came after Virginia had built its big lead and UNC was in desperation-comeback mode late.

Brice Johnson added 14 points for UNC, but fellow starter J.P. Tokoto managed just one point on 0-for-3 shooting.

Worse for the Tar Heels, they were unable to speed up the confident Cavaliers and turn it into an opencourt game. UNC managed just two fast-break points, the lone basket not coming until the 1:53 mark of the game.

If there were any questions about how Virginia would respond after the Duke loss, this was a convincing answer that the Cavaliers aren’t easily shaken as they go for a second straight ACC title.

After blowing an 11-point second-half lead amid a barrage of late 3s from the Blue Devils, Virginia took control with a 9-0 burst midway through the second half. And while the Tar Heels struggled to find a response, Virginia kept pushing forward to stretch the lead.

Pelicans snap Hawks’ 19-game winning streak, 115-100 NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The Atlanta Hawks’ franchise-record 19-game winning streak was snapped Monday night in a 115-100 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.

Anthony Davis had 29 points and 13 rebounds to help New Orleans win for the sixth time in seven games, a stint which includes victories over several contending squads including Dallas and the Los Angeles Clippers.

Jeff Teague scored 21 for Atlanta, but the Hawks fell behind by double digits in the first quarter trailed the rest of the way, staying

within single digits for only a few brief stints.

Eric Gordon scored 20 points for New Orleans, while Tyreke Evans scored 15 points and tied a season high with 12 assists for the fourth time in five games.

Paul Millsap had 15 points and Kyle Korver 12 for the Hawks, who made only seven of 22 3-point attempts.

next few days there were photos of him on Instagram in a Houston nightclub and in Aspen, Colorado.

The Browns have made it clear to Manziel that they expect more from him if he wants to be their leader.

“Johnny has to show on and off the field he can be a professional,” owner Jimmy Haslam said on Jan. 22.

“He knows that. Everybody in the organization has told him that. He knows what we expect of him on and off the field and it’s up to him to prove he can do that.”

Manziel’s uncertain future could influence the Browns’ plans at quarterback. Hoyer is scheduled to become a free agent, but the Cleveland native may be willing to re-sign with Cleveland, especially if Manziel is not in the picture. The Browns also have two first-round picks (Nos. 12 and 19) in this year’s draft and may be willing to use them to land a quarterback.

because you don’t know how you’ll mesh together and come together as a unit,” Wood said. “I think we’ve got a bunch of fighters and it’s going to be exciting to get around these guys and see what they’re all about.”

Kohn, who will battle for a left-handed spot in the bullpen, acknowledges that the Braves are a team in flux.

He and Wood still think they can be a contender.

Both pointed to the Kansas City Royals, who surprisingly made the playoffs last season and got all the way to Game 7 of the World Series.

“It may be a rebuilding year, but teams can surprise you,” Kohn said.

“When there are really not a lot of expectations for you, so you can go out and play relaxed and win and surprise some people. I think that’s what this team is built around.”

Boyle’s 3rd period-goal lifts Rangers over Panthers 6-3

NEW YORK (AP) — Sloppy at the start, strong at the finish. That has been the New York Rangers’ winning formula the past two games, yet they know they need to change the plan — and soon.

After a two-game post All-Star break skid, in which the Rangers scored a total of one goal, New York has regained its offensive mojo. The Rangers followed up Saturday’s win over Carolina with a 6-3 victory over the Florida Panthers on Monday night.

In both games, the third period was their best. But if they start slowly when powerhouse Boston comes to town on Wednesday, the game could be out of reach by the time the final 20

in the playoff hunt.

Manziel made his first start on Dec. 14 against Cincinnati, but failed miserably.

He appeared unprepared and overmatched as the Bengals defense harassed him into two interceptions and the Browns were throttled 30-0. Manziel completed 10 of 18 passes for 80 yards, was sacked twice and looked nothing like a player capable of ending Cleveland’s long search to find a franchise quarterback.

The next week at Carolina, Manziel injured his hamstring on a running play before halftime and was replaced by Hoyer.

Manziel was then fined by the Browns for missing a medical treatment before the season finale at Baltimore.

Manziel promised he would change following the season, apologizing to Cleveland’s fans and his teammates for being a distraction.

But hours after apologizing, he was photographed in Miami Beach and over the

minutes roll around.

“We are getting to that point in the season where we’ve got to be desperate for points,” said Rick Nash, who scored two goals to reach 31 for the season and move back into a tie for the NHL lead. “Playing in the third, we didn’t have as many turnovers as we did in the first two periods.”

It is no coincidence that the Rangers’ offense has rebounded the past two g a m e s wh e n N a s h h a s scored three goals. But they have spread it around, too. Mats Zuccarello scored his first goal in 11 games during New York’s decisive three-goal third period.

“I can feel pressure from everyone around to score some goals, so obviously I’d

like to score some more,” he said.

Dan Boyle scored a deflected goal 8:10 into the third to make it 4-3, and Nash and Zuccarello added insurance tallies.

Boyle flipped the puck from the left point, and it hit the stick of veteran Florida defenseman Willie Mitchell and bounded past surprised goalie Roberto Luongo. Zuccarello made it 5-3 with 4:02 left.

Carl Hagelin was stopped

by Luongo on a penalty shot with 3:19 remaining to keep it a two-goal game, but Nash scored into an empty net at 18:07.

The Panthers held a 1-0 lead in the first and dug out of a 3-1 hole in the second.

outshot Atlanta, 50 percent (43 of 86) to 44.9 percent (40 of 89).

Atlanta briefly got as close as seven in the third quarter when DeMarre Carroll, returning from a strained left Achilles that sidelined him two games, hit back-to-back 3s to make it 60-53.

But New Orleans kept scoring, and soon after went back up by 12 when Evans banked in a 3 late in the shot clock.

Gordon’s minutes were limited by foul trouble, but his backup, Jimmer Fredette, responded to additional minutes with 10

points, including a 3 that put the Pelicans up by 17 in the fourth quarter. Soon after, Asik’s putback dunk gave New Orleans its largest lead at 101-82 and sent the crowd into a frenzy, sensing there was no way Atlanta could recover during the last 6:03.

The Hawks had looked a bit shaky in their previous victory over struggling Philadelphia, blowing a 21-point lead before hanging on to win 91-85.

Atlanta again looked sluggish in the first half in New Orleans, shooting 37.8 percent (17 of 45), including 2 of 14 from 3-point

range.

With Davis and Gordon both shooting well, the Pelicans built a 13-point lead in the opening half. Davis compounded Atlanta’s problems by his rebounding on the offense end, highlighted by his put-back jam. He corralled Quincy Pondexter’s missed 3 with his right hand and slammed it down in one round-house motion, inciting a thunderous roar from the crowd.

Davis wound up with 19 points in the first half, capped by his free throw that made it 55-42 at halftime.

Low prices raise alarm in Analysis: President Obama challenges Republicans again, this time with budget North Dakota oil patch WASHINGTON (AP) — With higher taxes on the wealthy and billions in new spending, President Barack Obama’s no-balance budget lays down an audacious challenge to Republicans who swept to full control of Congress last fall and now claim a mandate to eliminate deficits over the next decade.

Make that the second audacious challenge in the past three weeks — coming after a State of the Union address in which Obama threatened to veto Republican legislative priorities and demanded lawmakers enact his own.

Then, as now, his objective was in part to help Democrats in Congress recover from their election drubbing, and in part to position them and his party as the champion of the middle class in advance of the 2016 campaign. To do that, he tars Republicans as apostles of a “mindless austerity” that has set back the economic recovery and was woven into a recent history that includes a partial government shutdown and flirtation with default.

Policies adopted after Republicans took control of the House in 2011 “hurt, rather than helped, the economy,” his budget says, although it fails to mention that Obama once negotiated seriously if unsuccessfully with Speaker John Boehner over billions of dollars in savings to Social Security and Medicare.

The word “austerity” appears seven times in a 17-page introduction, none of them favorable and usually attributed to Republicans and described as mindless or needless.

Now, Obama and budget say, those days are over.

To make the point, he called for about $1.5 trillion in tax hikes, mostly on wealthy corporations and individuals as well as smokers. Enacting new immigration policies like the ones approved in the Democratic-controlled Sen-

President Barack Obama delivers remarks at the Department of Homeland Security on his FY2016 budget proposal, on Monday in Washington. Obama warned congressional Republicans Monday that he won’t accept a spending plan that boosts national security at the expense of domestic programs for the middle class. ate last year is estimated to raise another $500 million in higher tax revenue over a decade, as immigrants freed from the threat of deportation enter the workforce.

Spending is roughly flat: $50.3 trillion over a decade in the president’s budget, compared with $50.4 the Office of Management and Budget calculates would otherwise be spent. Within those totals, though, Obama proposes hundreds of billions in cuts to Medicare providers on one side of the ledger, and nearly $500 billion in new highway and bridge construction, free community college for two years and other, smaller programs such as a National Park Service Centennial Initiative.

Further irritants to Republicans are embedded in the administration’s taxand-spending plan, including steps to fight climate change that they have ridiculed and the continued existence of the health care plan the GOP has vowed to uproot.

By Obama’s reckoning, this all adds up to persistent deficits, estimated at $687 billion in 2025 despite what the administration predicts will be relatively strong economic growth and low unemployment.

Obama is at pains to say that’s not so bad after much higher deficits in recent years. “The key test of fiscal sustainability is whether debt is stable or declining as a share of the economy,” he says in his budget message. “The budget meets that test.”

That may be fine for Obama and Democrats in Congress, but Republicans are betting their political election gains on a different test entirely.

“Our budget will balance, and it will help promote job creation and higher wages, not more government bureaucracy,” House Speaker John Boehner said in a statement that also said the president wants to “impose new taxes and more spending without a responsible plan to honestly

Republicans have passed a 10-year balanced budget through the House each year since they took power in 2011. The Senate, now under GOP control, intends to do the same thing, according Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., chairman of the budget panel. In a statement, he and Rep. Tom Price of Georgia, head of the House Budget Committee, said Obama is advocating more spending, more taxes and more debt. “...That approach will yield less opportunity for the middle class and a crushing burden of debt that threatens both our future prosperity and our national security.”

If they succeed in agreeing on a balance budget plan, House and Senate Republicans will be obliged to pass separate legislation to make it happen, deep spending cuts included.

camps,” where newly arriving workers and their families live in trailers, RVs and just about any other structure that can stand up to North Dakota’s whipping winds.

The pace of growth over the past decade has been “hyperventilating,” slackening only slightly as oil prices have fallen, Sanford said. “You can’t catch a breath.”

With oil prices hovering near $100 a barrel for most of the past four years, ambitious plans were laid out to transform the city from a chaotic, sprawling crash pad for transient workers into a larger, more livable community. Sanford and other local leaders drafted a long wish list — more housing, more schools, better roads, a new water treatment plant and expanded law enforcement.

Developers eager to cash in started construction of thousands of apartments and single-family homes. A new high school and civic center began to take shape.

A new bypass was built to the south of town to ease traffic jams.

Then oil prices began to drop, falling to roughly $50 a barrel now.

Daniel Kuo, vice president of a Chinese-backed real estate company that’s building a 2,000-unit housing complex on the outskirts of Watford, keeps a close eye on oil prices.

He’s met with McKenzie County economic-development agents to soothe any worries that the company might pull back.

“You’re in too deep to let a price blip derail you,” Kuo concluded at the end of one meeting. He shared the optimism expressed by Sanford and many others in Watford that oil prices will stabilize and the boom will resume.

Leaders in the North Dakota Legislature have pledged to keep public-works improvements as a priority. Whether that’s sustainable depends on how long oil prices stay down.

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) — High crude prices catapulted North Dakota into the top tier of the global oil market and doubled or tripled the size of oncesleepy towns that suddenly had to accommodate a small army of petroleum workers.

But now that those prices have tumbled, the shifting oil market threatens to put the industry and local governments on a collision course. Farming and ranching communities that committed to building homes, roads and schools for the swelling population are worried about how they will pay for those improvements as oil-related tax revenue evaporates.

“Everyone is asking the same question: ‘Holy cats, where do we go from here?’” said Dean Bangsund, an economist at North Dakota State University who has tried to help oil-rich McKenzie County gauge its needs, with an eye toward balancing growth against revenues.

But none of his economic models were pessimistic enough to match how low oil prices dropped.

For now, the oil extraction goes on. Despite the price plummet, drilling remains profitable in the heart of the state’s Bakken oil patch, due to the sheer volume of crude flowing from so-called hot-spots.

And so the building continues in Watford City, a century-old town that once marked the end of the line for the Great Northern Railroad. Roughly 60 rigs are drilling in surrounding McKenzie County — 40 percent of the rigs statewide. New neighborhoods and retail centers creep ever deeper into former wheat fields.

“We’re making a new, 15,000-person city in the middle of a pasture,” said Brent Sanford, mayor of Watford, the county seat.

“The question is if we get money put into the pot to do it.”

The county, which a decade ago had a population of about 5,000, has become a magnet for “man

DEAR ABBY UNIVERSAL PRESS SYNDICATE

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 42-year -old divorced woman with no children. My exhusband has a son whose life I was a part of for 18 years. When people ask if I have kids, my reply is, “Yes, I have a stepson.”

Why do people think it’s OK to say things like, “That’s not the same as having your own,” or, “That doesn’t count”? Then they usually go on to ask why I don’t have children of my own.

My response is a big fat lie. I say, “It just never happened.” The truth is my ex didn’t want any

more children. What can I say to these people to let them know that they need to stop and think about what they say and ask, because their word choice in this circumstance is hurtful to the point of tears?

STEPMOM IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR STEPMOM: A person who would downplay your role as a parent is rude, thoughtless and not worth your time. As to asking why someone is childless, I have addressed this subject in my column before.

While many folks start conversations by asking whether someone has children, it can be a dangerous question.

I learned my lesson and stopped asking after having received an answer from one man that his son was doing life in prison as an accomplice to murder. Another man told me he had two children, a daughter and an estranged son who was also serving a long sentence — for selling

COMICS

narcotics. Neither person was happy to have been asked. After that, I stopped asking.

I see no reason why you shouldn’t simply tell the truth about why you are child-free. Not having (or wanting) children is nothing to be ashamed of — it’s a personal choice that an increasing number of couples have opted for without regret.

#####

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together for 18 months. Last night we were talking about doing more in the bedroom, and he told me that he is bisexual.

I have nothing against the LGBT community, but finding this out after so long shocked me.

I’m worried now, and I can’t seem to wrap my head around the fact that he has sex with guys. I just can’t quite look at or think of him the same way.

I really do love him and can still see a future with him. I just

don’t know how to handle this BIG news. Please, Abby, you’re my only hope.

LIZ IN TEXAS DEAR LIZ: I would be curious about why your boyfriend waited so long to tell you. Because someone is bisexual does not mean the person is unfaithful and sleeping with both sexes at the same time.

It simply means the person is attracted to members of both sexes. You need to have further discussion with your boyfriend regarding his attitude about his COMMITMENT TO YOU before deciding what to do about his “big” news.

Robin, thank you for writing. You and many readers suggested the same hint, to take them back to the stores. However, you should call first, because there may be a health-code issue about using these for another customer. However, if the stores recycle them, it’s a win-win all around!

Dear Heloise: I read your hints in The PatriotNews in Harrisburg, Pa. I just wanted to pass on two hints that have helped our household.

We bought standing coat hangers (Heloise here: Not a wire coat hanger that stands by itself, but a “coat hanger,” usually wood or metal, that stands upright and is used to hang coats on. A fun play on words that sometimes does get confusing!) and put them in the bedrooms. They are great for hanging sweats, pajamas, robes, etc., rather than piling them on the bed or floor.

Also, I have two hampers, one for whites/off-whites and one for colors. This makes doing laundry a snap versus separating on laundry day.

Melissa B., Harrisburg, Pa.

Hey, Melissa, I, too, have a “coat hanger,” but it’s in my closet. I use it to hang my sweaters. I first fold the sweater in half lengthwise, then drape it over a clothes hanger like it’s a shawl. The arm area goes around the hook part, and the rest is hung over the hanger.

No creases from being folded and put in a drawer or on a shelf.

Heloise

P.S.: A Texas “howdy” to my friends in Harrisburg! I met such friendly and nice people when I was there at the home show talking about my Five-Point Plan for Clutter Control. It’s been a few years, but oh my, some of the tasty treats to eat in that city? Perfect comfort food in the winter.

Dear Heloise: Our newspaper is delivered in a clear plastic sleeve. I store my neck scarves by folding them in half and rolling them to fit the bag. I can find the scarf I am looking for, and when they are removed from the bag, they are not wrinkled. Sunday papers are much larger, so those bags work great for larger knit scarves.

Joyce A., Nipomo, Calif.

Dear Heloise: I still love to use bar soap. I keep it from dissolving in the soap dish by using a flat-sided nailbrush with the brush bristle side up. I set the soap on top, and it stays dry. The added benefit is that there is always a little soap on the bristles when I clean my nails.

Charles Manson marriage license to expire without a wedding

FRESNO, Calif. (AP) — The marriage license of mass murderer Charles Manson and a 26-year-old devotee who believes in his innocence is set to expire without a wedding taking place, prison officials said Monday.

California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokesman Jeffrey Callison said weekend visiting for inmates passed without Manson getting married.

Afton Elaine Burton and the 80-year-old Manson obtained a 90-day marriage license late last year.

It expires Thursday, making this past weekend the couple’s final opportunity to hold a wedding inside a visiting room at California State Prison, Corcoran. If

the wedding is to happen, the couple must register for a new Kings County marriage license.

Burton, who goes by the name “Star” and says she loves Manson, left her home halfway across the country and has spent the last nine years living near the Central California prison. Manson was convicted of killing seven people, including pregnant actress Sharon Tate, the wife of director Roman Polanski.

Burton, who maintains websites espousing Manson’s innocence, has not responded to recent requests seeking comment on the relationship. Shortly after obtaining the license, she told The Associated Press the nuptials were imminent: “Y’all can know

that it’s true,” she said in November. “It’s going to happen.”

James McGrath, a New York City photo agency editor, said that he maintains contact with Burton and that she intends to obtain another 90-day license and go ahead with the marriage.

Manson became notorious in 1969 as the leader of a “family” of young killers. Manson follower Susan Atkins died of cancer behind bars, but Leslie Van Houten and Patricia Krenwinkel remain imprisoned. So do Charles “Tex” Watson, Bruce Davis and Robert Beausoleil, who is expected to have a parole hearing Feb. 19. Manson is eligible for parole next in 2027.

Texas establishes ‘Chris Kyle Day’

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Two years after Chris Kyle’s death, and days before the man accused of killing him goes to trial, the retired Navy SEAL depicted in the blockbuster movie “American Sniper” received a state day Monday in his honor.

Gov. Greg Abbott signed a proclamation declaring Feb. 2 “Chris Kyle Day” in Texas, where Kyle was raised and lived after serving in Iraq. Flags statewide were to fly Monday at halfstaff.

“As governor, I am proclaiming this to be Chris Kyle Day, but in doing so, as Chris would have it, we are also recognizing every man and woman who has ever worn the uniform of the United States Military,” Abbott said, flanked by a

dozen bipartisan lawmakers.

Abbott called Kyle — reputed to be the deadliest sniper in American history — “the face of a legion of warriors who have led the mightiest military in the history of the world.”

Four years after he retired from service, he and neighbor Chad Littlefield were shot and killed at a North Texas gun range.

Accused in their deaths is former Marine Eddie Ray Routh, whom the two men were trying to help. Routh has been described by family as a troubled veteran who was hospitalized for mental illnesses, including post-traumatic stress disorder.

An Abbott spokeswoman said the success of the

movie based on Kyle’s autobiography and the upcoming trial were not driving forces behind Monday’s announcement. An effort is underway to make Chris Kyle Day an annual event.

Jury selection begins Thursday in Stephenville, about 150 miles north of Austin, in the trial of Routh, 27, who is charged with one count of capital murder and two counts of murder.

Some 800 people have been summoned for jury duty, said court spokeswoman Wanda Pringle, compared with the typical jury pool of 175 in Erath County. Once seated, the jury will be under orders not to discuss the case.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former hip-hop music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight was charged Monday with murder and attempted murder after he struck two men with his pickup truck last week.

Prosecutors allege that Knight intended to run down a friend and another man after an argument on a movie set. One of the men was killed.

Attorney James Blatt says Knight accidentally ran over the men on Thursday as he tried to escape a vicious attack. He turned himself in to police on Friday.

Knight’s initial bail of $2 million was revoked Monday after a court commissioner agreed with authorities that he was a potential flight risk and could intimidate witnesses.

He is scheduled to appear in court in Compton on Tuesday.

The bail ruling came

after detectives told a judge the 49-year-old founder of Death Row Records could face a lengthy prison sentence because of a violent criminal past and had the potential to intimidate witnesses, Los Angeles County sheriff’s spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said.

Knight was at the center of one of the most notorious rap conflicts of the 1990s, pitting Tupac Shakur against Biggie Smalls in an East Coast-West Coast rivalry.

Knight was sent to prison for nearly five years for badly beating a rival with Shakur at a Las Vegas hotel, just hours before Shakur was fatally shot while riding in Knight’s car just east of the Strip.

In the current case, Knight struck two men with his pickup truck on in a parking lot. The collision killed his friend, Terry Carter, 55, and injured Cle

“Bone” Sloan, 51, an actor and film consultant.

Authorities have said Knight argued with Sloan earlier at a location for the film “Straight Outta Compton” about the rise of the rap group N.W.A. and then was told by sheriff’s deputies providing security to leave.

The argument resumed in the parking lot where Knight and Sloan exchanged punches through a window of the pickup truck before the two men were run down, authorities said.

Blatt has said Knight was attacked by four people, including Sloan, and that Knight hit the gas and fled in fear.

The incident came less than six months after Knight was shot six times at a West Hollywood nightclub in August — the second shooting he has survived.

No arrests have been made

Justices once open to cameras in court now reconsider

Two Supreme Court justices who once seemed open to the idea of cameras in the courtroom said Monday they have reconsidered those views, dashing even faint hopes that April’s historic arguments over gay marriage might be televised.

In separate appearances, Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor said allowing cameras might lead to grandstanding that could fundamentally change the nature of the high court.

Sotomayor told an audience in West Palm Beach, Florida, that cameras could change the behavior of both the justices and lawyers appearing at the court, who might succumb to “this temptation to use it as a stage rather than a courtroom.”

“I am moving more closely to saying I think it might be a bad idea,” she said.

During her confirmation hearings in 2009, Sotomayor told lawmakers she had a positive experience with cameras and would try to soften other justices’ opposition to cameras.

Speaking at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics, Kagan told an audience that she is “conflicted” over the issue and noted strong arguments on both sides.

Kagan said that when she used to argue cases before the court as Solicitor General, she wanted the public to see how well prepared the justices were for each case “and really look as though they are trying to get it right.”

At 6-foot-4 and weighing 325 pounds, Knight is an imposing figure who is credited, in part, with helping create Death Row Records when he strong-armed

another label to release Dr. Dre from his contract, said Chuck Creekmur, CEO of allhiphop.com.

Knight and Dre later had a falling out, and Dre left the record company that

eventually declared bankruptcy and was auctioned off.

In November, Knight pleaded not guilty to a robbery charge filed.
