House, Senate leaders spar over bill process

By Jeff Tucker Record Staff Writer

With less than three weeks to go in the state legislative session, a leader of House Republicans on Monday called on the leader of the Democrat-controlled Senate to act on House-approved bills before time runs out later this month in the 60-day legislation session.

The Senate majority leader responded Monday afternoon, saying Senate bills are heard in the Senate prior to House bills and that the New Mexico House of Representatives has only considered one Senate-approved bill so far.

House Majority Floor Leader Nate Gentry, R-Albuquerque, sent a letter Monday to Senate Majori-

ty Floor Leader Michael Sanchez, D-Belen, asking Sanchez to at least assign House-passed bills to Senate committees.

“With less than three weeks to go, we are now in the final stretch of the 2015 legislative session,” Gentry wrote Sanchez in the letter released to media. “Time is short and there is still much to do.”

Gentry said the Senate has allowed House-passed bills to languish for up to three weeks in the Democrat-controlled Senate before they are assigned to Senate committees, thus reducing the chances of House-passed bills to make it through the Senate’s committee process and onto the Senate floor for consideration.

Gentry said House Republicans have not likewise stonewalled Senate-passed legislation.

“The House, as a matter of practice, has referred all Senate bills to committees within just a few days of receiving messages on those bills,” Gentry wrote. “Furthermore, we have already begun hearing Senate bills in committee.”

Gentry said several Housepassed bills have been quickly referred to Senate committees, whereas others “have been held up for an extraordinarily long time.”

Gentry said one of the bills awaiting Senate consideration is House Bill 41, a bill that would stop the social promotion of kindergarten- through eighth-grade students who cannot read at a proficient level or are not academically proficient. The bill was passed by the House on Feb. 11

by a 38-30 vote.

Gentry said other House-approved bills languish in the Senate, such as House Bill 32, a bill that would restrict driver licenses for illegal immigrants that passed the House Feb. 12 by a 39-29 vote; House Bill 214, a bill to increase public corruption penalties that passed the House Feb. 9 by a 64-0 vote; and House Bill 125, a bill that would provide criminal penalties for the electronic communication of intimate images of children that passed the House Feb. 4 by a 60-0 vote.

Gentry said those four bills were finally referred to committees on Saturday, while other House-approved bills have been held up for almost two weeks.

“We are hopeful that these bills, along with future House legisla-

tion, will be referred in a more timely manner,” Gentry wrote.

Gentry said House Republicans and Senate Democrats may not agree on everything, but should work together.

“But one thing we can surely agree on is that the people of New Mexico sent us to Santa Fe to make tough decisions, to work diligently to find solutions to the challenges facing New Mexico,” Gentry wrote. “We hope that the House-passed bills would be given the courtesy of a prompt referral and committee hearing.”

In a hand-delivered response to Gentry obtained by the Daily Record Monday, Sanchez disagreed with Gentry’s assertion the Senate was delaying considSee PROCESS, Page A2

Before building that fence in your front yard, make sure it’s not more than 3 feet high.

The city’s Planning and Zoning committee is studying an ordinance that would limit front-yard fences to 3 feet, and the planners also want homeowners to make their fences look presentable. Existing fences more than 3 feet high would be exempt from the potential requirement.

Safety of children playing on a street and avoiding accidents were the primary issues for the 3-foot restriction, as discussed Monday morning at the Planning and Zoning committee monthly meeting.

“The 3-foot makes the

most sense for 99.8 percent of our population,” said City Manager Steve Polasek. “If there’s that 0.2 percent that has an issue I’m sure there are other special opportunities to avert that situation. Whatever it might be, other than the fence. But the reality is getting in and out of driveways, children running and playing in the street, running in driveways and so forth. That 6 foot fence is just a danger zone for cars passing by there. … With cars parked on the street, 6-foot fences in the front yard, cars coming in and out of driveways, cars going up and down the street, we can’t control all of these things but a 3-foot fence at a minimum at least we could control and that See FENCES, Page A3

Nurse who survived Ebola Police department warns of sues Dallas hospital system possible door to door scam

By Jamie Stengle Associated Press

DALLAS — The Dallas hospital that treated the first patient to be diagnosed in the U.S. with Ebola lied to Congress when it said its staff was trained to handle the deadly virus, a nurse who contracted the disease contends in a lawsuit filed Monday.

Nina Pham, who was an intensive care unit nurse at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, says after being told last fall that she would be treating a patient suspected of having Ebola, “the sum total” of information she was given to protect herself was “what her manager ‘Googled’ and printed out from the Internet.”

She says in her lawsuit that the day after getting that information, the patient, Thomas Eric Duncan, tested positive for the disease. Duncan, who contracted Ebola in his native Liberia but started showing symptoms during a trip to the U.S., died at the hospital. Pham, 26, and another nurse who treated Duncan, Amber Vinson, contracted the disease but recovered.

In a statement released through her lawyers, Pham said she felt she had no choice but to sue the hospital’s parent company, Texas Health Resources. “I was hoping that THR would be more open and honest about everything that

Wendell Watson, a company spokesman, said Texas Health Resources is optimistic that the matter can be resolved. He would not address allegations in the lawsuit about statements a hospital official made to Congress.

The lawsuit describes a chaotic situation at the hospital, where nurses scrambled to decide what kind of personal protective equipment to wear “withToday’s Forecast

Clear drop cloths were taped to the ceiling and walls of the hallway to create a makeshift containment facility, nurses had to dispose of hazardous waste — a job they weren’t trained for — and hazardous material placed in the room next to Duncan’s was See EBOLA, Page A3

The city’s Alarms Administration on Monday has received multiple calls from residents reporting receiving visits from these people. They will often say they represent the company from which the homeowner’s alarm was purchased and then claim the alarm system is outdated and needs to be replaced. They will often ask to come in to do the replacement or check on the system.

Similar scams in the past have resulted in the scammers stealing things from the home while inside.

Judge: Governor’s schedule is not public information

SANTA FE (AP) — Some details of Gov. Susana Martinez’s schedule are not public information and do not have to be released by her office, a judge has ruled.

The finding by state District Judge Sarah Singleton came last week in an ongoing lawsuit filed by The Santa Fe Reporter, a weekly newspaper that sought access to calendars that included entries not listed as public events.

Attorneys for the Reporter argued that the public has a right to know how the governor spends her time during normal work hours.

But Martinez’s attorneys said her personal and political calendars aren’t public records because the documents are maintained by Martinez, not a government agency.

The ruling came as a disappointment to open-government advocates.

“The public deserves to know with whom our chief executive officer is meeting,” Susan Boe, executive director of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, told The Santa Fe New Mexican. “Does our governor get invited to dinner with (New Jersey Gov.) Chris Christie because she is Susana Martinez or Gov.

• Charline Spidahl • Louis Archuleta • Michael Drew

Susana Martinez?”

Martinez, the nation’s only Latina governor and a rising star in the Republican Party, has been in demand for political events in New Mexico and elsewhere. Her re-election effort last year saw her make several out-of-state fundraising trips. None were reflected on the calendar published biweekly on her website.

Among the issues remaining in the lawsuit is whether the governor’s office has adequate procedures for searching for public records when requested to do so.

They could also be “casing” the house with intentions of returning another time to burglarize it. In some cases, fraudulent company representatives have actually removed the alarm system and installed a system of another alarm company without the homeowner’s permission.

SANTA FE (AP) — A panel of House lawmakers has tabled a measure that would prohibit the slaughter of horses and the transportation of horse meat in New Mexico if it’s intended for human consumption.

The House Agriculture, Water and Wildlife Committee took up the measure Monday along with a proposal that called for adding horses to the state’s animal cruelty law.

That was also tabled.

The sponsor, Democratic Rep. Gail Chasey of Albuquerque, told the committee there are ways other than slaughter to address horse overpopulation. She pointed to limiting breeding and expanding shelters.

Opponents argued it’s cruel to leave starving horses on the landscape and banning slaughter would lead to enforcement challenges for state livestock officials.

Congress effectively put the brakes on horse slaughter in December by not including money for federal inspectors in a $1.1 trillion spending bill.

allowed to pile up, the lawsuit alleges.

On the first day Pham treated Duncan, when Ebola was suspected but not yet diagnosed, she wore a regular isolation gown, double gloves, a surgical mask with a plastic shield and double booties. She says her hair and neck were exposed and that she wasn’t given a change of clothes to wear home, so she went home in the scrubs she wore while treating Duncan.

After his diagnosis, nurses put on hazmat suits with double gloves and added “chemo gloves” and taped them to the suit.

They also added a personal respirator they covered

Thursday by a 59-0 vote.

State Sen. Cliff Pirtle, R-Roswell, has introduced several bills, almost all of which awaited action in the Senate until Monday.

A bill sponsored by Pirtle, Senate Bill 220, would encourage more physicians to practice in New Mexico by speeding up the insurance application process for doctors so they can receive credentials and be paid in a more timely manner. It passed the Senate Monday with a 39-0 vote.

“Getting doctors to move to rural New Mexico is tough enough,” Pirtle said Monday. “It is nearly impossible once they learn New Mexico allows the insurance companies up to 210 days to credential them. Currently, they cannot be reimbursed from HMOs and insurance companies for their medical services during that time. My bill requires insurance companies to credential a physician or deny them within 45 days of the application.

Speeding up the process will allow providers to be paid in a more timely manner.”

A bill introduced by Pirtle, Senate Bill 521, which would allow New Mexico homeschoolers to be eligible for the Legislative Tuition

Lottery Scholarship like public and private school seniors, was passed by the Senate Education Committee Monday and moves on to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“I want to treat the homeschool students equally when compared to private and public school educated students,” Pirtle said.

“There is no point to having the homeschoolers pay for this additional test when they are already accepted into New Mexico universities and colleges based on their coursework and without the test. It is an unnecessary burden and cost placed on the homeschooler.”

Pirtle’s top legislative priority, a bill to place New Mexico permanently on Mountain Daylight Time, was passed by the Senate Public Affairs Committee Thursday by a 5-1 vote and awaits a hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Pirtle also introduced in the Senate that same bill Ezzell introduced in the House, that would allow the Water Quality Control Commission to set the time and place of hearings. Pirtle’s bill passed the Senate Feb. 23 by a 36-5 vote and is before the House Agricul-

ture, Water & Wildlife Committee, chaired by Ezzell.

Whether the first Republican-controlled New Mexico House of Representatives in 60 years would be able to reach compromises with the Democrat-controlled Senate, and subsequently send bills to the Republican governor’s desk, has been the backdrop of this year’s legislative session, officially known as the 52nd Legislature, first regular session.

Some Democrats have said Democrats should not compromise on partisan issues with Republicans, and instead wait two years in hopes Democrats regain control of the House.

Some Republicans say compromises are necessary now, since the GOP controls the House and occupies the governor’s position for the first time in state history.

Republicans won a 37-33 majority in the House in November, taking a majority for the first time since 1952. The Senate, whose members weren’t up for re-election in 2014, remains controlled by Democrats, who have a 25-17 advantage in that chamber.

with a gown. These decisions, the lawsuit said, were made without any guidance or training by supervisors.

Pham says that after Duncan died, she was told that what she had worn was safe and that she had no risk of contracting Ebola. Confident in what hospital officials told her, she spent time with friends and family.

Pham also accuses Dr. Daniel Varga, the chief clinical officer and a senior executive vice president for Texas Health Resources, of making “numerous patently false statements” in testimony he gave to a congressional subcommittee. She says he falsely claimed that the hospital was trained to manage Ebola and that he misrepresented the type of protective equipment that

nurses wore while caring for Duncan.

Varga testified that as the Ebola epidemic worsened over the summer, the hospital system began educating doctors, nurses and other staff on symptoms and risk factors. He said that included directing all hospitals to have a plan on how to care for patients with Ebola-like symptoms.

A hospital statement from Oct. 1, 2014, the day after Duncan tested positive, stated it had “a robust infection control system and our staff is trained and prepared to take care of patients with a variety of infectious diseases,” including Ebola.

Pham’s allegations echo those of other nurses.

Nurse Briana Aguirre told NBC’s “Today” show in the fall that when their infec-

tious disease department was asked about protocol, the response was that they didn’t know and would get back to them. National Nurses United, the nation’s largest nurse’s union, said in the fall that staff treated Duncan for days without the correct protective gear, that hazardous waste piled up and that protocols constantly changed.

In her lawsuit, Pham says she is worried about her long-term health and that she doubts she’ll ever return to being a critical care nurse again because of the stress and anxiety of the trauma she experienced and the “fear and stigma” that follow her.

Vinson’s attorney, Steve Malouf, said he had no comment on whether or not Vinson also planned to sue the hospital system.

National, world briefs Obama-Netanyahu relations not a happily-ever-after

WASHINGTON (AP) — This was never happily-ever-after waiting to happen.

When President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took office early in 2009, there were plenty of reasons to expect their relationship would be difficult.

The cerebral president and the brash prime minister have stark differences in personality, politics and world view.

Still, few could have predicted the downward spiral of backbiting, lecturing and outright name-calling that has occurred.

Start with the differences between Obama and Netanyahu, add in disagreements over Iran’s nuclear program, a Republican-led Congress trying to assert itself and the coming Israeli elections, and it becomes “the perfect storm of potential broken crockery in the U.S.-Israeli relationship,” says the Wilson Center’s Aaron Miller, who was a Mideast adviser and negotiator for Republican and Democratic administrations.

Iraq TV: Military recapture of Hussein’s hometown begins

BAGHDAD (AP) — Backed by allied

Shiite and Sunni fighters, Iraqi security forces on Monday began a largescale military operation to recapture Saddam Hussein’s hometown from the Islamic State extremist group, state TV said, a major step in a campaign to reclaim a large swath of territory in northern Iraq controlled by the militants.

The city of Tikrit, 80 miles north of Baghdad, fell into the hands of the Islamic State group last summer along with the country’s second-largest city of Mosul and other areas in the country’s Sunni heartland after the collapse of national security forces. Tikrit is one of the largest cities held by the Islamic State group and sits on the road to Mosul.

DOJ to announce decisions in Ferguson investigations

WASHINGTON (AP) — Six months after 18-year-old Michael Brown died in the street in Ferguson, Missouri, the Justice Department is close to announcing its findings in the racially charged police shooting that launched “hands up, don’t shoot” protests across the nation.

The federal government has undertaken two separate investigations. One looks at whether criminal charges should be filed against

the officer involved in the shooting, Darren Wilson. The other is a broader examination of the city’s police department, including a search for discriminatory practices by officers.

Tourism in Malaysia on the rise despite aura of tragedy

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Two airplane catastrophes put Malaysia on the map in a bad way in 2014.

But they didn’t hurt the country’s tourism, and the higher visibility may even have helped: visitor numbers had their strongest growth in years.

For the past decade, Malaysia has run an elaborate campaign to market itself abroad as an ideal Asian destination, touting a multiethnic culture, lush rainforests and pristine beaches.

When Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 went missing with 239 people on board en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, it put the global spotlight on Malaysia and seemingly dealt a blow to its tourism strategy.

A double whammy came four months later when a Malaysia Airlines jet was shot down over rebel-held eastern Ukraine, killing all 298 people on board.

Tourism, however, grew at its fastest pace since 2008.

Senate approves hemp farming bill for research

By Vik Jolly Associated Press

SANTA FE — The New Mexico Senate has given a thumbs-up to allowing farmers in the state to grow industrial hemp for research only.

The Senate voted 33-8 Monday to approve Albuquerque Democrat Sen. Cisco McSorley’s legislation.

The federal government currently allows growing hemp for research. A bill pending in Congress, if passed, would approve cultivation for commercial production as well.

The state will be poised to capitalize on hemp as a cash crop once federal restrictions are lifted, McSorley said.

Farming groups have supported the legislation because of ongoing drought in the state and hemp’s potential as a cash crop.

McSorley’s proposal would allow the New Mexico Department of Agriculture to set up regulations and fees for the processing of hemp for research and development, not for sale.

In voting against the bill, one senator said she was worried about the similarities in the appearance of hemp and marijuana. Hemp has a negligible content of THC, the psychoactive

takes away a big chunk of the safety issue.”

While there was not a vote taken to approve the fencing measure, commission chairman Jason Perry and city staff members agreed to take a close look at some of the danger spots in Roswell before an ordinance is drafted.

A section of North Union Avenue is one of those danger areas, Perry said.

“On somewhere like Union you can have no fence in your front yard and you’re still dangerous backing out of your driveway.

You’re insane driving out of your driveway on Union,” Perry said. “We have a lot of folks on Union in that area I go visiting and it becomes a very difficult thing. But on the majority, if someone has 10 feet before they reach street, even for backing out, they’re past that area to have clear visibility even if they had a 30 foot fence up. Unless they’re in a school bus or a limousine they’re still gonna be past that point.”

A driver’s visibility can be obstructed by the type of fence and angle of view, said city engineer Louis Najar, who added he and another staffer have looked at several yard fences in Roswell.

“A chain-link fence, a rot-iron fence, you can’t always see through them.

It depends on the angle,” Najar said. “We’re driving around town looking at it but it’s hard. We’re trying to put something down

compound that gives marijuana users a high. Many products made from hemp, such as oils and clothing, are legal.

If next approved by the House, New Mexico will join at least 19 other states already producing hemp for research, supporters said. “If we don’t do this now, we’ll miss out on it,” said McSorley of potentially growing hemp for commercial sale.

Jerry Fuentes, a member of the Rocky Mountain Farmers Association and a vegetable farmer in Truchas, New Mexico, applauded the passage of the bill.

Cotton farmers in the southern part of the state are eager to farm hemp, he said.

“It’s always been known as a high-value cash crop,” Fuentes said, adding that hemp has multiple uses.

Currently, he said, the U.S. is importing half a billion dollars worth of raw hemp to be put into commercial products used in the country. “Hemp has been villainized as being akin to marijuana, yet it has no psychotropic properties. It can’t get you high; it will not get you a buzz.

You’ll get a headache.

That’s about it,” Fuentes said. (for the safety of people). A 3-foot fence would work.

Yes, if you have kids you’re not gonna be happy with it.

But we’re just looking at it for (overall) the of the general public.”

In addition to the height of new fences, the city also could restrict the types of materials used to build a fence. Used tires and wooden pallets were mentioned as particular eyesores for fences.

“What’s allowable? Right now anything and everything, to my understanding,” Polasek said. “If you got tires and you stack them 6 foot high you got a tire fence. ... And I would suggest that there be no fee for it, rather just the opportunity, because we want to encourage people to repair and fix and replace fences.

So we don’t want to penalize them by charging them, but by the same token we want to make sure the fence going up meets code.”

Help wanted at city hall

The city is accepting applications from residents who are interested in serving as nonpaid members of boards, committees and commissions.

There are currently 20 advisory panels that meet monthly and make recommendations to the City Council and work with city staff members.

Four open seats exist among the five-person panels. Two of those vacancies are on the Roswell Public Library Board and one each on the Extraterritorial Zoning Board and the Occupancy Tax Board.

Those interested can search online at roswell-nm.gov or obtain an application from the city clerk at 425 N. Richardson Ave. For more information call 575-637-6202.

Opinion

Roswell Daily Record

With ‘War on Poverty,’ Grisham offers truth A legislative tradition is a speech by each member of our congressional delegation to a joint gathering of the two houses.

The exercise is useful. It puts the people self-selected to live on airplanes flying between New Mexico and Washington, D.C., in front of a bipartisan political audience.

A chance exists of something useful or revealing.

From Albuquerque Rep. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, on Feb. 17 came the charge, “It’s time you declare a war on poverty in New Mexico.” The comment was in an Albuquerque Journal story.

The sentiments are noble.

Questions arise, however. (I can hear the liberal knives sharpening. Gasp! Question a principle of pious liberalism?) It’s not that Lujan Grisham is wrong. It would be nice to eliminate poverty. The trouble is that such words are easy to say and tough,

Harold Morgan New Mexico Progress if not impossible, to execute. This would be a state level war, I suppose.

To talk of solving a social problem such as poverty, Washington Post economics columnist Robert Samuelson once observed, is itself a problem. “‘Solution’ implies a perfect resolution, but many social problems do not admit to that.” Poverty is one of the “conditions with which we have to struggle, for better or worse.”

For that struggle, the question of definition offers a starting place. What is poverty?

“A moving target” seems to be one answer. “It depends,” is another. As usual, Wikipedia provides insight. (To be sure about things, I go to sources. But Wikipedia is a start.)

The federal definition considers money income without the in-kind elements of food stamps, subsidized healthcare or housing. Wikipedia says, “The most common measure recognizes poverty as a lack of those goods and services commonly taken for granted by members of mainstream society.”

The measure brings consumption — stuff — into the game. Over time, families have remained poor while having more stuff.

The cost of living, which varies widely around the country, is not in the poverty equation.

As an example, the Quay County Sun recently cited a smartasset. com study saying Tucumcari had

the cheapest housing in the state and, nationally, only 21 communities had lower cost homes.

Price parity is a concept relating prices in different places to an average, say the national average for goods and services.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis has price parity comparisons for states and metro areas using 200 different goods and services. In New Mexico this basket of stuff costs 5.2 percent less than the national average.

Among metro areas, it’s best to be poor in Las Cruces, where the 200 items cost 92 percent of the national average. In Santa Fe, the cost is 97.8 percent; Albuquerque, 95.4 percent; and Farmington, 93.3 percent.

A remaining question is whether a “war on poverty” would work. If President Lyndon Johnson’s war is the example, the answer is no. In reviewing two Johnson books, Arthur Herman,

a Hudson Institute senior fellow, starts with Johnson’s massive government expansion. Then Herman moves to “an explosion of out-of-wedlock births” and growth of welfare dependency with one-third of us now getting means-tested benefits Besides, a call for a “war on poverty” uses the wrong metaphor. As governor, Gary Johnson said this (as I remember).

He was correct, something I didn’t understand at the time.

Enlightenment came from a briefing from a Drug Enforcement Agency agent. A war, by definition, gets all the money, not just some from the budget allocation of government spending.

And that isn’t going happen.

What to do? Politicians avoiding meaningless platitudes would be a start. Then continue the work on education, invent an economy and protect the most vulnerable.

Editorial

Net neutrality neuters innovation Today the Federal Communications Commission is scheduled to vote on whether to regulate the Internet under Title II, or “common carrier,” regulations as a public utility, and all indications are that the Commission will do so.

In December 2010, the FCC adopted a “network neutrality” rule, which prevents Internet service providers from blocking Internet content or “discriminating” against network traffic, such as by slowing down broadband speeds or charging a premium for higher speeds for certain content.

But in January 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia struck down the order, ruling that the FCC did not have the authority to so regulate such “information services.” The FCC is now attempting to get around that ruling by reclassifying broadband services as “telecommunications services,” over which it has broader authority.

The FCC vote will certainly not put an end to the net neutrality issue. If approved, the rule is sure to spark more legal challenges for violating broadband providers’ First Amendment rights by compelling them to transmit content that they may not agree with, and violating their Fifth Amendment rights through physical and regulatory takings that reduce the value of their private property.

The ISPs have the right to operate their equipment as they see fit, and consumers have the right to utilize their services or not based on those policies.

Blocking content consumers want to see would quickly prove to be a losing strategy. Sites like Netflix, Google (including YouTube), Facebook and Amazon, that consume a disproportionate amount of bandwidth, naturally do not want to have to pay more for their customers’ higher usage, but charging more for those who use more resources hardly seems unreasonable, especially given that people already pay higher prices for larger data plans and faster Internet speeds than for smaller or slower plans.

Moreover, the higher profits generated from such sites will encourage ISPs to invest more in meeting the demands of higher-bandwidth sites and applications.

Government mandates on content, price structure or business model are doomed to have a chilling effect on competition and innovation in a fast-growing and ever-evolving industry. Despite the warm and fuzzy-sounding name of “net neutrality,” more regulations will only lead to a less fair and less free Internet.

An ‘Isotope’ is not just a baseball player Nuclear medicine is a branch of medical imaging that uses small amounts of radioactive isotopes to diagnose and determine the severity of or treat a variety of diseases, including many types of cancers, heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurological disorders and other abnormalities within the body.

Most of my readers are the older folks in town and many of us have visited the radiology department at our local hospitals at one time or another. Radiologists use a variety of imaging techniques such as X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose or treat medical conditions.

Have you ever wondered exactly how these diagnostic

Martin Kral Guest Columnist imaging or treatment devices worked or what was in that cocktail they made you drink or injected into your IV? In last week’s article I tried my best to introduce and define the elements that are used in a nuclear reactor to create ‘heat’ for generating electricity. In the process known as fission, the atoms are split and create (transmute) other elements or isotopes.

Some of these isotopes are extremely valuable to medical diagnostics and radiation therapy. What are these isotopes, where do they actual-

ly come from, how are they used in medical procedures and what happens to the radioactive materials after the procedures? Hmmm!

More than 10,000 hospitals worldwide use radioisotopes in medicine, and about 90 percent of the procedures are for diagnosis.

The most common radioisotope used in diagnosis is technetium-99m (Tc-99m), an element not easily found in nature, but obtained from the fission of highly enriched uranium (HEU) in a nuclear reactor that creates molybdenum-99 with a half-life of 66 hours.

The Mo-99 decays to Tc-99m which is the base substance in the safe cocktail used as a tracer for a CT scan. The take away here is that we need nuclear reactors for our medical specialty products and procedures,

which my wife and I have had our share of already.

How safe is it? The Tc-99m radiation dose a person receives is very small and only last 6 hours. Since the detectors to scan your body are quite sensitive, only a tiny amount is needed.

Your body naturally rids itself of the Tc-99m within a few days after receiving it.

The minimal level from the procedure means your body sees only a small fraction of radiation that you normally receive from other natural background radiation from the ground we walk on and the sky we walk under. Radiation is all around us all the time.

This is where an advanced Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR) can play a huge role in the future proSee KRAL, Page A5

RISD Superintendent order to earn a diploma of excellence, students must demonstrate proficiency on the statewide assessment in math, language arts and science. While students have other opportunities to achieve the standards, by missing the PARCC exam they lose the primary opportunity. In fact, students MUST exhaust the SBA and PARCC assessments opportunities before they are eligible to pursue the alternate demonstrations of compe-

tency to meet graduation requirements. Federal and state law requires that 95 percent of our students at each school participate in the assessment. Failure for any school to reach the 95 percent threshold causes the school’s grade to be dropped one letter grade, and jeopardizes the federal funds to our schools.

RISD’s reputation for high expectations and high student achievement impacts our community in many positive ways, and parent/student refusals to take the test could jeopardize that reputation which helps attract families and businesses to Roswell. If you wish to see why I say we are “The Best Large District in the State,” you should view our data and compare to other districts, which can be found on the

PED website (webapp2.ped. state.nm.us/SchoolData/ SchoolGrading.aspx).

In life, we must learn to adapt to differing requirements and many times we are tested to assess understanding. Young adults in college or in technical fields are under a constant barrage of tests. The test taking skills that our students learn now, will be valuable in their futures. The PARCC assessment will be online and the students of the future will be testing in this manner. In addition to the subject matter, we are teaching our kids valuable test taking skills.

Lastly I do want you to consider that our Roswell students generally do very well on standardized tests.

WWII’s largest airborne operation topic of Saturday program Operation Varsity was World War II’s largest airborne operation to be conducted on a single day and in one location. Operation Varsity will be the subject of a free program held at the Roswell Public Library, 301 N. Pennsylvania Ave., on Saturday, March 7, at 2 p.m. Col. Ozzie Gorbitz, USAFR (Ret.) and Dan Judy will show artifacts and uniforms as they talk about the units involved and the historical significance of the Allied airborne crossing of the River Rhine on March 24, 1945.

Involving more than 16,000 paratroopers and several thousand aircraft, the purpose of the operation was to gain a foothold across the River Rhine, so that Allied forces could cross into Germany and bring the Second World War to a successful conclusion. The Rhine crossing, though by no means the final battle, sealed the fate of Nazi Germany. Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe, described Operation Varsity as “the most successful airborne operation carried out to date.” Everyone is invited to attend this informative program which will end with a question and answer session. Refreshments will be provided by the Friends of the Library.

people should go to the sites instead of Roswell. But I knew exactly what this cartoon was implying.

In Keith Bell’s interview on TV he says that the street names he chose weren’t the only streets suggested to be renamed at the City Council meeting and that his cartoon was merely an attack on changing the street names in general, but if that’s correct then why was Larry Bird, former NBA star, mentioned?

Larry Bird played for the team called the Celtics, which were particularly known for being “the white fans team” or “the most divisive team in America” when it came to African-American players.

When you think of Larry Bird, you think of the rivalry between Larry and Magic Johnson (an African-American basketball player who played for the Los Angeles Lakers). What came to my mind after reading this comic was that Keith Bell was telling African-Americans to go to Georgia (Martin Luther King Jr., birth home and National Historic Site), and Hispanic people to go to California (Cesar Chavez home and National Monument).

Bringing Larry Bird into the picture made me certain that this comic was, in fact, racist. Being Hispanic and now learning about equal rights and racism, I find his cartoon insulting and feel that it is rebuilding segrega-

Job and workplace stress is one of the biggest sources of stress in today’s world. One study revealed that jobs where employees are putting their lives on the line, as well as regularly having other people’s lives in their hands, are among the most stressful jobs.

Dear editor, I am writing this letter with sadness in my heart but with great joy concerning the life of Russ DcKay. I was privileged to have been one of his physicians over many years and it was truly an honor and privilege to participate in his health care.

Russ had health issues, but he never discussed those issues but rather always put a good face on all of his problems toward the very end. I often remind young athletes that most great athletes have been under six feet tall. Certainly, Mr. DeKay was a man of small stature but great achievements in his personal and social life in all of his human endeavors.

Russ loved his community. He loved his family and he loved Jesus Christ.

Russ not only talked the talk, but walked the walk.

On any day that I saw Russ as a patient, I went home with a smile on my face and optimism in my heart. He downplayed his achievements and was a consensus builder and a person who kept his eye on the ball.

Over the years, I was privileged to have many conversations with Russ and I always felt after seeing Russ that the human situation was better than many of us think. As my feeble command of the

English language fails me, I am reminded of a great poet’s words from “Crossing the Bar,” and one clear call for me, may there be no tears when I put out to sea.

I would say to Russ’ friends and family that we should remember Russ not so much in the sense of his physical body but rather his Paul Bunyan achievements in life.

On a humorous note, I would say that I can see Russ running around in heaven at committee meetings and organizing things to a “T.” In closing, in the simplest of terms, Russ DeKay was a great human being and a Christian. Rest in peace.

Dear editor, I want to say thank you to the Roswell Police Department for the donation of two cars to New Mexico Mounted Patrol.

Mounted Patrol is an unfunded, all-volunteer law enforcement agency created in 1941 by the Legislature.

We have the authority to work with any law enforcement agency in the state. All of our troopers are commissioned and certified by New Mexico Mounted Patrol after completing an academy, and we purchase all of our own equipment and uniforms.

The donation of the two cars allows us to continue serving our community and assisting local law enforcement agencies.

Anyone interested in joining Mounted Patrol or supporting us financially, can contact me at 317-8099 or our deputy chief for the

decisions about testing and I am choosing for my fourth grade daughter to participate in the testing.

Her teachers have prepared her very well and I want to honor their hard work. My second grade daughter will participate in Discovery testing. I look forward to working with my daughters’ teachers when the results of these tests are available so that we can support each other in targeting instruction.

While we agree that students do have a right to express their opinions, we still have a responsibility to keep our students safe and to inform both students and their parents of the consequences.

Students are expected to be in class, if a student is not in class or excused by their parent, their absence

will be considered unexcused and they will be subject to truancy consequences.

I expect all of our students to respect the rights of their fellow students to participate in testing without disruption. Under no circumstances will disruption or disorderly conduct be tolerated and such behavior will be addressed through disciplinary consequences as indicated in the student Code of Conduct. On a personal note, RISD has earned its reputation as a statewide educational leader.

The data resulting from assessments are used to improve achievement and guide our professional development, and to let our families know what we can do to best help their students achieve academic

Dear editor, The U.S. Advisory Panel on Dietary Guidelines has finally mustered the courage to recommend that Americans eat less meat and dairy products. And not just to lower our risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and obesity, but also because it slows the rate of climate changes, with its own devastating consequences.

The 572-page report released on Thursday notes that half of all Americans have preventable diet-related chronic diseases and that two-thirds of adults and one-third of children are overweight. It concludes that a dietary pattern higher in plant-based foods and lower in animal-based foods is more health promoting and associated with lesser environmental impact than the current U.S. diet.

The 1977 recommendation that Americans eat less meat by the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs was quashed by the meat industry, and subsequent dietary guidelines panels have been very cautious. The 2010 dietary guidelines panel merely shoved meat and dairy off the official MyPlate icon, representing the U.S. Dietary Guidelines.

Though the experts have success.

When I first joined the RISD team, I asked our educators what Roswell did best: the overwhelming answer was that we use testing data to help our students. I am proud of our achievement and our standing in the state.

I am proud of our teachers and staff and especially proud of our students. When it comes to their future, whether that be college or joining the workforce, my hope is that they are prepared to succeed as the best in the state and nation.

Dear editor, Readers of this space may recall that I have been sharply critical of the Roswell Police Department in recent months on several grounds.

So it is with a great deal of pleasure that I extend my sincerest compliments to the officers’ benevolent association for sponsoring, and the chief of police and his commanders and the police committee of the city council for supporting, the first of what I hope will be a series of “Coffee with a Cop” meetings between RPD officers and citizens, held Monday, Feb. 23. Kudos also to the management of the restaurant la Taqueria Jalisco, which provided the meeting space, and for serving coffee as good as you will find anywhere.

The only unfortunate aspect of this gathering was that so few civilians attended (though the weather was nasty), and were greatly outnumbered by the officers present, few of whom could participate in the exchanges. I urge everyone with an opinion about RPD, or who wants to learn more about it, to attend future meetings, which we are told will take place about once a month at various locations around town.

The discussions were interesting and informative,

and the senior officers were not shy about answering criticisms and questions. I did not find all their answers entirely persuasive, but the key thing was that they were willing to answer. The wall of separation between police and community is really nothing but a car door. Anything that gets officers our of their automotive isolation and into human contact with their fellow citizens is to be welcomed.

If there was one pervasive problem affecting RPD that was not fully enough addressed, in my opinion, it is the relative prevalence of harassment, rude or bullying behavior among at least some of the police ranks.

The closest to a response this elicited was the observation, probably true, that conduct of this sort was limited to young officers. Instead of addressing what is a supervisory shortcoming, in other words, RPD is content to wait until the rookies grow up.

That will not survey or correct the problem (there is always another crop of rookies coming in), and if the chief implements “stop and frisk,” as he has said he intends to, this issue will only become more pressing.

But maybe that is just a quibble. RPD and its senior officers have taken an important step in improving their relations with the citizens they serve, and I hope they will follow through with more like it. My hat is off to all involved.

The take away here is that many medical isotopes can be produced and extracted in a single LFTR, while it is also producing extreme heat for electricity generation or water desalination.

What the world needs now is a little love, as well as a few multipurpose LFTRs, which is one of the reactor designs for molten salt heat transfer technology, the energy future and the topic of my next article.

duction of many medical isotopes. Beside the production of Mo-99 which decays to Tc-99m for diagnosis, the LFTR can also produce an isotope chain to Bismuth-213 which is currently unobtainable naturally, but has the potential to be used in new types of advanced cancer treatments, such as Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) for brain cancer and other very critical cancers.

A LFTR can also produce Strontium-89, Xenon-133, Iodine-131, and Yttrium-90 to name a few of the more than 160 radioisotopes of 80 chemical elements used in diagnosis and therapy.

Shirley Faye Gann

Shirley Faye Gann, 79, died peacefully in her sleep at home and woke up in heaven on Thursday morning, Feb. 26, 2015.

Born Jan. 12, 1936, in Jonesboro, Arkansas, she lived most of her life in Northern California before retiring with her husband in Roswell. She was a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She had a wonderful gift of hospitality and was an amazing cook.

She loved fishing and sang “live” on the radio when she was a teenager.

She is survived by her husband John Gann, her brother Jerry Taylor, her children Randall (Patric ia ) L a mb e r s o n , Da v id (Nancy) Lamberson, Julie (Raymond Jr.) Vaz, Susan Lamberson and stepdaughter Dana (Bill) Billings. She was also blessed with seven grandchildren, Emily, Elizabeth, Cameron Lamberson, Raymond, Faith, Sarah Vaz and Ian Billings.

“God looked around His Garden and saw an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put His

arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be a beautiful sight.

He always creates the very best. He saw the roads were getting tough and the hills were hard to climb, so He closed your weary eyelids and whispered “peace be thine.” It broke our hearts to lose you but you did not go alone. A part of us went with you the day God called you home.”

-Author Unknown A private memorial service will be held in Morro Bay, California.

Dot-com deja vu: Nasdaq tops NASA spacecraft 5,000, approaching record high making first visit to

NEW YORK (AP) — The last time the Nasdaq was this high, Bill Clinton was president, your Internet connection was probably still dial-up and the iPod, iPhone and iPad didn’t exist.

Fifteen years later the Nasdaq has again closed above 5,000 and is close to topping its record from the dot-com boom. The index has clawed back, riding a six-year bull market, and is now 40 points from its all-time closing high of 5,048.62 reached March 10, 2000.

But this isn’t the Nasdaq of Pets.com and Webvan, when companies were valued on “cash burn rates” and “eyeballs.”

“Certainly, the Nasdaq at 5,000 conjures up images of a tech bubble,” said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at BMO Private Bank. “But we’ve had time for business profits to grow into those crazy expectations 15 years ago.”

As the tech-mania took hold, investors pushed up the prices of all kinds of internet-related stocks.

Some were never profitable and disappeared. Others, like Priceline.com and Amazon, have survived and prospered.

On Monday, the index climbed 44.57 points, or 0.9 percent, to 5,008.10.

The index is up 5.7 percent this year, the best performance among major U.S. stock indexes. One caveat: taking the effect of inflation into account, the index would have to rise much further to match its highs from the dot-com era.

The Nasdaq, while still focused on technology companies, is a little more diversified than it was back then. And while the index, which tracks 2,500-plus stocks, has been steadily climbing since 2011, its ascent isn’t the crazed surge that preceded its last record close.

Here’s a look at the Nasdaq then and now.

The drivers:

— Now The Nasdaq’s current rise has been driven by technology and health care. In a slow-growth world, investors favor industries where earnings will be better than average. This pair qualifies. Tech stocks are poised to benefit as companies increase their spending on equipment and software to cut costs and improve productivity. Health care stocks have been climbing as investors bet that biotechnology companies will discover the next blockbuster drug.

Together, tech and health account for almost two thirds of the Nasdaq’s market value.

“Stocks follow earnings, and both tech and health care have been standouts,” said Jim McDonald, chief investment officer at Northern Trust.

One stock in particular holds sway over the Nasdaq: Apple. Its market value has surged to over $750 billion from $22.5 billion in March 2000. The company accounts for 10 percent of the Nasdaq’s market value.

Powered by tech and health care, the Nasdaq has climbed 15 percent over the past year, a more tempered rise than the 109 percent surge in the year before its last peak in 2000.

— Then The Nasdaq had a much heavier tech-focus in 2000.

At its peak, tech stocks made up 65 percent of the index compared with 43 percent today. Telecommunication companies were also a big component, accounting for 12 percent of the index’s market value versus 0.8 percent now.

The biggest stock in the index was Microsoft with a market valuation of $525 billion. Apple had yet to release the iPod, iPhone or the iPad.

How expensive are stocks?

— Now The price-earnings ratio of the Nasdaq, a measure of how much investors are willing to pay for every dollar of earnings the companies in the index generate, is 20.

— Then When the Nasdaq was at its highest, its price-earnings ratio reached 194.

Valuations placed on tech stocks were “off the charts,” says Russ Koesterich, chief investment strategist at asset manager BlackRock.

Broader stock market:

— Now Like the Nasdaq, both the broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index and the Dow Jones industrial average are trading at record highs, underpinned by record company earnings and optimism that the economy will continue to strengthen gradually.

—Then The S&P 500 was also surging in 2000, rising with the internet bubble. The S&P 500 peaked at its then-record close of 1,527.35, on March 24, 2000. The Dow closed at a record of 11,722.98 on Jan. 14, 2000.

Nasdaq heavyweights:

— Now Apple is the titan and Microsoft is a distant second with a market value of $361 billion. Google, Amazon and Facebook round out the top five. The top 20, however, also includes Starbucks, pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts and retailer Costco.

—Then When the Nasdaq reached its record in 2000, Microsoft was the biggest company in the index.

Cisco, Intel, Oracle and Sun Microsystems completed the top five. The biggest 20 companies in the index were in technology or telecommunications.

The economy: — Now

The U.S. economy is slowly recovering from the financial crisis and Great Recession. Even with a slowdown in growth to 2.2 percent in the final quarter of last year, many economists forecast an expansion above 3 percent in 2015. Hiring is picking up and the unemployment rate, now at 5.7 percent, is falling. Economists expect steady, if not spectacular growth.

—Then Optimism over the economy was high. The Federal government had recorded its largest budget surplus in nearly 50 years in 1998.

At the end of 1999 the U.S. economy grew at a rate of 7.1 percent, and the unemployment rate stood at 4 percent. The first chapter of the Economic Report of the President, published in February of 2000, was entitled “Sustaining a Record-Breaking Expansion.”

Corporate earnings:

— Now Company earnings have been rising steadily since the Great Recession and are at record levels. Earnings per share for the average S&P 500 company are forecast to increase by 1.5 percent this year, according to S&P Capital IQ. —Then Company earnings surged in 2000. The average S&P 500 company increased its earnings per share by almost 12 percent. The hangover came a year later though, when earnings slumped by 19 percent.

Also hot:

—Now Beyonce is one of the world’s biggest artists.

“Fifty Shades of Grey,” is a box office hit and “Birdman” took the Oscar for best picture.

dwarf planet Ceres

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — A NASA spacecraft is about to reach the end of a nearly eight-year journey and make the first rendezvous with a dwarf planet.

The Dawn craft will slip into orbit Friday around Ceres, a dwarf planet the size of Texas. Unlike robotic landings or other orbit captures, the arrival won’t be a nail-biter. Still, Dawn had to travel some 3 billion miles to reach the largest object in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

“It’s been a roller coaster ride. It’s been extremely thrilling,” project manager Robert Mase of the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory said Monday.

Ceres is the first of two dwarf planets to receive visitors this year. NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is barreling toward Pluto where it will arrive in July.

Launched in 2007, Dawn made the first stop of its journey at the asteroid Vesta. It beamed back more than 30,000 images of the rocky world inside the asteroid belt before heading to its final destination.

As Dawn approached Ceres, it snapped pictures of the dwarf planet, revealing two mysterious bright spots inside a crater. Scientists will have to wait until the craft spirals closer to the surface in the coming months to get sharper images. It will get as close as 235 miles above Ceres’ surface, or roughly the distance of the International Space Station above Earth.

Last year, European researchers not connected with the mission detected water plumes spewing from two regions on Ceres.

The source of the plumes remains unclear.

Deputy project scientist Carol Raymond said the shiny spots — possibly

exposed ice or salt — were a surprise and could be related to the plumes.

Dawn carries an instrument that should be able to detect the plumes if the surface is still active, Raymond said.

The $473 million Dawn mission is the first to target two different celestial objects to better understand how the solar system evolved. It’s powered by ion propulsion engines, which provide gentle yet constant acceleration.

Vesta and Ceres reside in a zone between Mars and Jupiter that’s littered with space rocks that never grew to be fullfledged planets.

Dawn entered orbit around Vesta in 2011 and spent a year photographing the lumpy surface and taking measurements of the second massive object in the asteroid belt from different altitudes.

Unlike rocky Vesta, Ceres is thought to possess a large amount of ice and some scientists think there may have been an ocean lurking below the surface.

The duo are “literally fossils that we can investigate to really understand the processes that were going on” during the formation of the solar system, Raymond said.

At the time, he supported a bipartisan approach to overhauling immigration, with people waiting to get citizenship having priority and others having a legal pathway to live here legally.

Walker also said Sunday that President Barack Obama or “anybody else who is willing to put their name on the ballot certainly has to have the love for country to do that.”

Walker drew criticism last month after former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani questioned Obama’s patriotism during a speech at a Walker fundraiser. When asked about the former mayor’s comments, Walker sidestepped the question by saying he hadn’t asked Obama about his love of country.

Scott Walker: ‘I don’t believe in amnesty’

WASHINGTON (AP) — Gov. Scott Walker once envisioned a world where the 11 million immigrants living in the country illegally could embark on a path to citizenship.

But now the Wisconsin Republican calls that position “amnesty” and says his view has changed.

“I don’t believe in amnesty,” Walker told “Fox News Sunday.” ‘‘My view has changed. I’m flat out saying it. Candidates can say that.”

Walker, who emerged this past week in the top tier of potential candidates for the Republican presidential nomination for 2016, says the U.S. needs to secure the border and ultimately put in place “a legal immigration system that works.”

That means, in part, putting the onus on employers and getting them the tools to do that, like E-Verify, an existing federal program that allows businesses to check the immigration status of new hires, Walker said.

Walker told the Wausau, Wisconsin, Daily Herald newspaper in 2013 that “it makes sense” when

Peterson 1 of many players left in limbo

BOSTON (AP) — There is a defensive end heading for free agency who had 15 sacks in his last full season. The kind of player a team can build a pass rush around, if he were spending more time on the football field and less in the courts fighting domestic abuse charges.

Greg Hardy’s current team, the Carolina Panthers, isn’t expected to make him an offer.

And then there’s the recent NFL MVP, a running back who once topped 2,000 yards, whose team says it wants him back, but he’s not so sure. If the Minnesota Vikings wouldn’t support him after he was charged with beating his son, Adrian Peterson can probably find a team that will.

As NFL teams turn to free agency on March 10, there is more to consider this year than 40-yard dash times and vertical jumps. A few players who might otherwise attract a bidding war now have to convince teams they are talented enough to justify the baggage they bring along.

And that’s making what was already an imperfect science even more difficult.

“It all makes it rough on the football people,” said Bill Polian, a 2015 Pro Football Hall of Famer who built the Bills, Panthers and Colts into Super Bowl teams. “(Hardy) would be a marquee free agent if not for these other issues.”

Peterson is still under contract with the Vikings.

But he has said he is uneasy about returning to the team that distanced

He missed 15 games — seven with pay while on the exempt list and the last six while suspended under the enhanced personal conduct policy Commissioner Roger Goodell announced after his initial two-game punishment for Ray Rice angered almost everyone.

But U.S. District Judge David Doty ruled last week that Goodell could not suspend Peterson under a policy that was created after the original crime (Peterson pleaded no contest to a reduced assault misdemeanor). The case goes back to NFL-appointed arbitrator Harold Henderson, who is likely to tell Goodell to review the case

under the old policy that in most cases maxed out at a two-game suspension.

“Like Tinker to Evers to Chance, this is going to go from Doty to Henderson to Goodell,” said Daniel Wallach, a sports litigator in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

In the meantime, the NFL has appealed and it is likely to ask for a stay of Doty’s ruling until then, said Wallach, of the firm of Becker and Poliakoff.

“That will go a long way toward clarifying Adrian Peterson’s status,” he said. “If Peterson loses the stay issue, NFL free agency advances without him. And what does that do to his market value? It’s going to diminish it tremendously.”

Peterson isn’t the only one.

Harrington wins the Honda Classic PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Whether he was piling up majors or playing so poorly that he lost his PGA Tour card, Padraig Harrington never wavered from one goal in golf. Just get him anywhere near the lead with nine holes to play, and he would happily take his chances.

His caddie, Ronan Flood, reminded him of that Monday morning in the Honda Classic when Harrington was four shots behind at the turn.

“He said, ‘Look, would you have taken this on Thursday?’ And I said, ‘Yes, that’s what you want,’” Harrington said. “You want to be in contention with nine holes to go, because anything can happen coming down the stretch. And it did.”

Not even Harrington could have written the script to his playoff victory at rain-soaked PGA National.

He ran off four straight birdies on the back nine to take the lead. He gave it back with a 5-iron into the water for double bogey on the par-3 17th. He made a 15-foot birdie putt to force a playoff. And given a shot at redemption, he hit 5-iron to 3 feet on the 17th to win on the second playoff hole when 21-year-old rookie Daniel Berger hit into the water and made double bogey.

Ten years after winning the Honda Classic for his first PGA Tour victory, Harrington won it again. It was his first PGA Tour victory since he won the 2008 PGA Championship at Oakland Hills for back-to-back majors.

Harrington lost his card last year and needed a sponsor’s exemption to get in the Honda Classic. Now he’s eligible for the Masters, The Players Cham-

Countdown on as baseball readies for pace of play rules GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — During his playing career, Mike Hargrove’s unique routine at the plate went something like this: step into the batter’s box, adjust gloves, brush lip, tap cleats with bat to remove dirt, check helmet, tug at jersey sleeve, hitch up pants, check right thumb protector. Repeat.

Every pitch.

It earned him a classic nickname, “The Human Rain Delay.”

These days, Hargrove’s ritual — he claims it only lasted 19 seconds — would not only be frowned upon, but possibly get him fined under Major League Baseball’s new pace of play initiatives designed to speed up a game many purists believe doesn’t need more tinkering.

“Grover would be playing for free,” joked Indians skipper Terry Francona.

On Tuesday, the new pace of play rules will be introduced on the field in five exhibition games in Arizona and Florida.

To this point, players have adopted a let’s-seewhat-happens stance about hitters being required to keep one foot in the batter’s box, pitchers needing to complete their warmup tosses within a certain time period, managers staying in the dugout for instant replay challenges and generally everyone keeping the game moving along.

For the first time, baseball, the summer game romanticized by generations for its timelessness, will be on the clock. And those newly installed clocks will be in full view for fans.

Once there are three outs, inning breaks will

be counted down from 2 minutes, 25 seconds for locally televised games and 2:45 for nationally televised games. Pitchers must throw their last warmup pitches before 30 seconds remaining and the batter must be in the box from 20 to 5 seconds left.

MLB, with the blessing of the players’ union, is hoping to shorten the length of games — the average was just over 3 hours in 2014 — and eliminate delays to make it more appealing to TV audiences and those in the stands. During spring games and through regular-season games in April, players will not face any discipline should they not adhere to the clock or an umpire’s suggestion to stay in the box.

That changes on May 1, when players can be fined.

But on the eve of baseball’s spring timing experiment, everyone wondered what might be ahead.

“I hope it’s not a distraction,” Kansas City center fielder Lorenzo Cain said as the Royals dodged the rain Monday in Surprise, Arizona. “I definitely don’t want to get fined, I need all my money. I definitely don’t want to get fined. I’m going to do the best I can. If it’s the rule, we have to try to abide by the rules and just go from there.”

Boston slugger David Ortiz has been one of the most outspoken critics of the changes. Big Papi argues that any interruption of his at-bat routine makes it easier for pitchers to get him out. Ortiz, though, has softened his stance and is adjusting.

NASCAR falls flat in follow-up to Daytona 500 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — NASCAR did not have its finest weekend at Atlanta Motor Speedway, where the follow-up to the Daytona 500 began with the theft of a race car and a parked SUV rolling into Denny Hamlin’s motorhome.

Qualifying was a debacle for the second week in a row, rain delayed the start of Sunday’s race and Jeff Gordon once again managed to crash into a concrete wall that lacked an energy-absorbing barrier.

By the time Jimmie Johnson took the checkered flag to close a cold and wet weekend, everyone was ready to get out of Atlanta.

It was a momentum-killing weekend for NASCAR, which had staged a strong season-opener one week earlier only to fall flat at one of the more historic tracks on the circuit.

Things went awry early when a trailer carrying the Team XTREME race car for Travis Kvapil was stolen from a motel parking lot early Friday morning.

While the team scrambled to figure out what it would do — with no car, Kvapil was forced to withdrawal from the race — Hamlin received a jolt when his motorhome was struck by a rolling SUV that had mistakenly been left in gear.

After those two off-track distractions were dealt with, attention turned toward the debut of the 2015 rules package. Only that was marred by the second embarrassing qualifying session in as many weeks.

Four series champions were among the 13 drivers who didn’t even get to make a qualifying attempt because their cars didn’t

Jeff Gordon (24) hits the wall during the NASCAR Sprint Cup series auto race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, Sunday, in Hampton, Ga. p a s s in s p e c t i o n b e fo r e the session began Friday afternoon.

Among those stuck in the inspection bay were Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart.

Gordon, who needed two attempts to get his car through inspection, took the series to task after he failed to make a qualifying attempt in the debut race for new sponsor 3M. “When you have this many teams having issues going through, there’s something wrong with this system or something wrong with the amount of time they’re allotted to get through,” he said. “There’s no way with this many good cars and talented people that they can’t figure out how to get these cars through inspection.

“I’m embarrassed for our series.”

It remains to be seen if the problem was that NASCAR, which a year ago dramatically reduced its team of officials as it streamlined its processes and began to use more technology and less human capital, didn’t have enough inspectors on site and didn’t allot

enough time to clear 47 cars.

Sprint Cup director Richard Buck indicated the issue was with the way teams set up the cars in their first race with a new rules package.

“They’re pushing the limits,” Buck said. “That’s their job to get every bit they can get through (inspection). It’s our job that everyone gets a fair opportunity to get through there.”

Whatever the reasoning is for all those cars failing to make it on the track, it has to be fixed before this weekend’s race at Las Vegas. NASCAR can’t afford a third straight week of a champion being publicly “embarrassed” of the series.

But that didn’t even end up being Gordon’s biggest concern.

A week after Kyle Busch broke his right leg and left foot when he crashed into a concrete wall at Daytona, Gordon also managed to hit a wall that lacked a SAFER barrier.

Busch’s accident has spurred NASCAR and most of the racetracks to re-evaluate their safeSee NASCAR, Page B3

McDonald has a limited market because he fits better in a 3-4 defensive alignment that fewer teams use.

But he was never charged, Polian said, and he “apparently has no issues with the league.”

“I say apparently, because we aren’t sure,” Polian added. “Clearly he has PR issues, and some owners are going to say ‘I think we can live with it,’ and others will say ‘No, we can’t,’” Polian said.

“There’s a saying among general managers when they get ready for free agency: ‘It only takes one.’ Only one team has to have that interest in a player.”

As he prepared to take batting practice last week in Fort Myers, Florida, Ortiz yelled to himself, “Stay in the box!” before stepping up to the plate.

Hargrove, now a special adviser to the Indians, said some hitters step out gain their composure and get an edge on a pitcher. Others are simply posturing.

“A lot of the guys, they look like a peacock,” Hargrove said. “‘Here I am, watch me.’ If a guy has a purpose that’s part of the game, you shouldn’t legislate that out of the game.”

“We start with the premise that you have no idea what his availability will be. You can make some guesses but don’t know for sure,” Polian said. “You would want protection for all those scenarios ... all of that makes the negotiation very difficult.”

Polian said teams consider conduct every year, both in the draft and free agency and even when re-signing their own players. This year, Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston is a potential No. 1 overall pick, but has off-field issues — including rape accusations — that could make Oregon’s Marcus Mariota more appealing.

Or, it could make him undraftable.

“For some of the veterans it may be a test because if you’re used to doing something for years and years and years, your first thought after an umpire calls a borderline pitch is to go out and regroup,” he said. “It will be interesting to see how that’s handled.”

During his tour of training camps over the past week, Tony Clark, head of the players’ union, has heard feedback from players concerned their careers could be impacted by the changes. A former All-Star first baseman, Clark said his biggest concern is making sure the game’s integrity is not compromised.

“These guidelines that we’ve put in place are not put in place to create havoc,” Clark said. “They’re not put in place to reinvent the wheel. They’re put in place in such a way to see if the game can continue to move and if there are things around the edges where adjustments can be made that don’t affect the way that you’re going to perform.

“As much as we hope that it doesn’t adversely affect the play, we don’t know what’s going to happen until the lights come on and guys get into it.”

The thought of a timing instrument anywhere near a baseball game is almost sacrilegious to some fans.

To tag or not to tag Canadiens swing 3 deals on busy NHL trading deadline day an NFL quandary General manager Marc Bergevin added to the Montreal Canadiens without altering his Eastern Conference-leading lineup.

In Detroit, GM Ken Holland thought it was important to provide his young Red Wings a nudge by adding two experienced veterans. As for the Toronto Maple Leafs, their long-expected purge of high-priced talent failed to materialize before the NHL’s annual trading deadline struck on Monday.

“We did as much as we could. We just hoped for more,” Maple Leafs general manager David Nonis said after being limited to making just two moves, none of which included forwards Joffrey Lupul and Tyler Bozak, or defenseman Dion Phaneuf. “Today, there weren’t deals that were there for any of our players that made sense for us.”

That didn’t prevent others from staying busy on a day that featured 24 trades involving 43 players.

The Canadiens plugged several needs by acquiring defenseman Jeff Petry from Edmonton, and making two separate deals with Buffalo to land forwards Torrey Mitchell and Brian Flynn.

In exchange, they gave up a combined four draft picks and minor-league prospect Jack Nevins.

“We’re getting rewarded for our good play right now,” Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty said. “I think (Bergevin) saw a couple of areas he can improve on but not change things too much.”

The New York Islanders kept pace by making four trades. Aside from adding center Tyler Kennedy from San Jose, the Isles upgraded their backup goalie spot behind Jaroslav Halak by acquiring Sabres starter Michal Neuvirth.

Holland took an aggressive approach in adding to the Red Wings. A day after

acquiring veteran forward Erik Cole from Dallas, Holland gave up a conditional draft choice to New Jersey for veteran defenseman Marek Zidlicky.

“The growth of our team and the growth of our younger players, I guess, sent a message to me that we’ve got a good team,” Holland said. “We’re right in the thick of things.”

The Anaheim Ducks were among several contenders

to stock up in the West.

The Pacific Division leaders made four trades.

The most significant involved Columbus, in which the Ducks acquired high-scoring defenseman James Wisniewski and a 2015 third-round pick in exchange for forwards Rene Bourque, Williams Karlsson and a 2015 second-round pick.

Tigers SS Iglesias back on field in win

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — Detroit shortstop Jose Iglesias played in his first game in more than a year, and the Tigers beat Florida Southern 12-2 Monday at spring training.

As planned, Iglesias played one inning. He caught a popup in the top of the first and grounded out in the bottom half.

Iglesias felt discomfort after playing one exhibition game in February 2014. He was out of action for the rest of the season because of stress fractures in both legs.

The 25-year-old Iglesias hit a combined .303 for Boston and the Tigers in 2013.

“Eventually I’m going to get my rhythm back when I get some more games in, but otherwise it’s a great

feeling to be back out there.

Just to be in the uniform is amazing,” Iglesias told Tigers’ reporters.

Detroit used seven pitchers, none of them expected to make the opening day roster.

Tim Melville, who went 2-11 in Double-A for Kansas City last year, started and pitched two scoreless innings.

Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said the game was a good way to start off spring training competition.

The Moccasins’ campus is only a few miles from the Tigertown complex. Florida Southern has won only once during the 29-year tradition.

“It’s a good thing for Lakeland,” Ausmus said.

“It’s not a bad idea to get a look at some of our young

players in this type of setting. It serves a good purpose.”

Andrew Romine, who is getting a look at second base and first for the Tigers, had a hit and drove in two runs.

Trainer’s room

Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera took batting practice but won’t play much this spring after having ankle surgery last October.

Ausmus said he is confident Cabrera will be ready for opening day. ... Victor Martinez did some running early before the game. He is recovering from a knee tear.

Up next

The Tigers will play their first official Grapefruit

League game on Tuesday when they host Baltimore.

Kyle Lobstein will start for Detroit, followed by Joe Nathan, Tom Gorzelanny, Alex Wilson, Alberto Cabrera, Luke Putkonen, Josh Zeid and Rafael Dolis. Baltimore will start Ubaldo Jimenez. ... Anthony Gose will start in center field in his Detroit debut. He was acquired from Toronto in the offseason.

All signed up

The Tigers reached deals with six players, and have everyone on their 40-man roster under contract. The Tigers agreed to deals with P Kyle Lobstein, C Bryan Holladay, INFs Herman Perez and Andrew Romine, and OFs Tyler Collins and Anthony Gose.

how it was for Berger. He had a 15-foot birdie putt to win on the 18th in a playoff and narrowly missed. Then, he watched Harrington hit 5-iron to within 3 feet on the 17th on the next playoff hole.

“He’s a great player, and that shot on 17 was kind of a dagger in the heart,” Berger said.

Paul Casey, who lost in a playoff at Riviera last week, was tied for the lead until a bogey on the 14th hole. He never caught up, missing a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th that would have got him into another playoff.

He closed with a 68.

Casey tied for third with Russell Knox (68) and moved to No. 45, getting him into the World Golf Championship at Doral.

ty standards, and Atlanta took steps to protect a large stretch that lacked soft walls.

If anyone is going to find an unprotected spot, though, it’s Gordon — he hit a concrete section at Las Vegas several years ago that forced the track to install a SAFER barrier there before NASCAR returned.

Gordon was visibly angry about his hit Sunday, as were many fans, who are as frustrated as the drivers are over a seemingly slow pace to get the barriers in enough spots at every track.

NASCAR and its racetracks deserve credit for a sense of urgency toward addressing the issue, but it’s unsettling to see drivers continuing to find concrete walls.

NFL games have begun for 2015.

Don’t bother checking out your Sunday Ticket, though. This is not football the teams are playing, it’s tag.

Monday was the deadline for franchises to decide whether to hold onto key players who are pending free agents by giving them the franchise or transition tag. The alternative: letting them hit the open market on March 10.

A lot more goes into tagging than simply wanting to hold on to a standout or a budding star. There’s nearly as much game-planning for it as there is for an opponent during the season.

Teams ask themselves: —What position does he play and how much is the tag for that position?

—Should we use the exclusive franchise tag, when no other team can approach the player? Or go with the non-exclusive, allowing other teams to pursue the player, but with the original team able to match any offer, or decline and gain two first-round draft picks?

—Should we go with the lower transition tag, in which other teams can set the market for a player and if the contract is not matched, there is no compensation when the player walks?

—What is our salary cap situation? Does it make sense to commit so much money to one player? Is he that much of a difference maker?

This year, the Lions decided not to tag Ndamukong Suh, an All-Pro defensive tackle and, when on his game, a wrecking ball on the field. Among the reasons could be his penchant for unacceptable on-field behavior — there’s always the chance Suh could go off during a game and wind up with a suspension for his actions.

More likely, Detroit looked at the salary cap implications of tagging Suh for nearly a $27 million cap hit because of his previous contract restructuring.

The Lions felt adding to the huge price tags on receiver Calvin Johnson and quarterback Matthew Stafford would preclude the team from improvements in several other areas.

No team wants to commit more than 30 percent of its cap spending to three players — unless those players have won championships for the franchise. Most teams prefer to stay under 25 percent for its top three players. Stafford has a salary cap hit of $17.7 million in 2015, and Johnson is at

$20.5 million.

Detroit still might sign Suh to a long-term deal, and it could avoid the hefty one-year cap hit with some creativity over a span of a few seasons. That room for creativity doesn’t exist with franchise-tagged players.

Kansas City bit hard and put the non-exclusive tag on linebacker Justin Houston. Except Houston might want to be considered a defensive end: the tag at that position is nearly $1.7 million higher.

While the Chiefs negotiate with Houston’s agents, they also must find ways to trim salaries. That shouldn’t be too difficult; much harder will be dealing with a potentially long holdout by Houston if the sides can’t agree on which position the league’s leading sackmaster plays. And how much he is worth.

The Giants had an easier decision in franchising defensive end Jason PierrePaul. When healthy and motivated, he’s a force, as his 12 1/2 sacks and 21 quarterback hits for a weak defense showed in 2014.

He also had 16½ sacks in 2011, and is only 26.

With Steve Spagnuolo returning as defensive coordinator, New York will build again around the pass rush. Pierre-Paul is the foundation.

Denver also had little choice with tagging receiver Demaryius Thomas at $12.823 million. With Peyton Manning likely to return this season, the Broncos had no option but to keep his top target — particularly with tight end Julius Thomas and wideout Wes Welker unsigned.

It’s also more probable the Broncos can get a longterm deal done with Thomas — the deadline is July 15 — and they have some flexibility under the salary cap, with around $150 million available thanks to unspent carryover money from 2014.

Dallas, as expected, tagged its All-Pro receiver, Dez Bryant. The Cowboys are in a tight spot because they have little maneuverability for 2015 if they can’t get a long-term agreement with Bryant. Failing to do so could mean losing AP Offensive Player of the Year DeMarco Murray, the league’s top running back — just when the Cowboys have become a championship threat again.

Harrington defeated Daniel Berger in a two hole playoff. behind when he pulled his tee shot at No. 11, so far left it was on a muddied patch of grass that had been trampled by the gallery. He hit 4-iron at the right flag, over the water, to 15 feet for a birdie and a three-shot swing when Poulter hit into the water for double bogey.

That was the start of four straight birdies. That one shot might explain one of the more complex minds in golf. In the lead with a good

lie, he sees trouble. From behind and in trouble, he only sees opportunity.

“I’m not going to win the tournament unless I take it on,” he said.

With a one-shot lead on the 17th hole in regulation, he tried not to make a mistake and hit in the water.

In a playoff on the 17th, he fired at the flag.

“Believe it or not,” he said with a smile, “when I get in contention I can still hit the shots.”

Still Forbes’ No. 1, Gates even wealthier this year

In this image released by Warner Bros. Pictures, Will Smith, center, and Margot Robbie, right, appear in a scene from the film, “Focus.”

‘Focus’ tops theater draw, yet Smith’s appeal unclear

By Jake Coyle Associated Press NEW YORK — Will Smith’s con-man caper “Focus” dethroned “Fifty Shades of Grey” at the box office, but the film’s modest $19.1 million opening still left questions about the drawing power of the once unstoppable star.

According to studio estimates Sunday, Warner Bros.’ “Focus” easily topped all competitors on a weekend with little competition at North American multiplexes. In second place was the Colin Firth spy thriller “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” which made $11.8 million in its third week of release.

After two weeks atop the box office, “Fifty Shades of Grey” continued its steep slide, landing in fourth with an estimated $10.9 million for Universal Pictures.

The weekend’s only other new wide release, Relativity’s horror film “The Lazarus Effect,” opened in fifth place at $10.6 million.

But the weekend was largely seen, fairly or not, as a referendum on Smith’s star power. “Focus,” written and directed by the “Crazy, Stupid, Love” duo

Roswell Daily Record

Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, is Smith’s first film since 2013’s “After Earth,” the sci-fi flop in which he co-starred with his son, Jaden.

Smith has been frank about the sting of that film’s box-office performance. “I can’t allow the box-office success, or lack thereof, to determine my self-image,” he said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

But “Focus,” made for about $50 million and was never intended to be a summer-sized blockbuster. It had been predicted to make around $21 million.

“This is a mid-budgeted film with a result that matches,” said Jeff Goldstein, head of distribution for Warner Bros., who added that winter storms accounted for a drop of $1-2 million.

“There’s no question we got hammered because of inclement weather in the South and the Midwest.”

The R-rated “Focus,” overwhelmingly appealed to adults, with 88 percent of its audience older than 25 — not a good sign for Smith’s appeal to a new generation of moviegoers who weren’t around for his triumphs in “Independence

Day.” Nevertheless, there aren’t many stars who could do better with a drama in late February. And “Focus” should play well internationally, where Smith’s popularity remains strong.

“This still goes on his balance sheet as a number one debut,” said Paul Degarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office data firm Rentrak. “He can still draw an audience, particularly with a film that’s R-rated and not aimed at the young crowd.”

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak: 1. “Focus,” $19.1 million.

2. “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” $11.8 million.

3. “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” $11.2 million.

4. “Fifty Shades of Grey,” $10.9 million.

5. “The Lazarus Effect,” $10.6 million.

6. “McFarland, USA,” $7.8 million.

7. “American Sniper,” $7.7 million.

NEW YORK (AP) — The world’s richest person got even richer this year.

And a basketball superstar-turned-owner made the list for the first time.

Forbes said Monday that Bill Gates’s net worth rose to $79.2 billion in 2015 from $76 billion last year.

That put him at the top of the magazine’s list of the world’s billionaires for the second consecutive year.

The co-founder of Microsoft Corp. has topped the list for 16 of the last 21 years.

In second place is Mexican telecommunications mogul Carlos Slim Helu, with a net worth of $77.1 billion. He had topped the list in 2013.

Next is investor Warren Buffett, who moved up one slot this year with a net worth of $72.7 billion. In fourth place was Amancio Ortega, the Spanish co-founder of clothing

retail chain Zara, with a net worth of $64.5 billion.

Rounding out the top five was Larry Ellison, founder of technology company Oracle Corp., with $54.3 billion.

Forbes said there were 1,826 billionaires on its list this year, up from 1,645 in 2014. Added together, they were worth a combined $7.05 trillion, up from $6.4 trillion last year.

Most of those on the list were men. But there were 197 women, up from 172 a year ago. The highest-ranking woman was Christy Walton, the widow of John Walton, a son of the founder of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. She has a net worth of $41.7 billion, according to Forbes.

The world’s youngest billionaire was 24-year-old Evan Spiegel, the CEO and co-founder of mobile messaging company Snapchat,

with a net worth of $1.5 billion. Snapchat’s other co-founder, 25-year-old Bobby Murphy, had the same net worth as Spiegel.

Other tech billionaire newcomers were two co-founders of taxi-ordering app Uber and one of its executives. Three co-founders of Airbnb, the vacation-home rental website, also made the list.

Basketball legend Michael Jordan joined the list for the first time this year, thanks to his ownership in basketball team Charlotte Hornets and payouts form his Nike brand.

Jordan had a net worth of $1 billion, the magazine said.

This is the 29th year that Forbes has released its billionaires list. The magazine said it calculated each person’s wealth based on stock prices and exchange rates on Feb. 13, 2015.

European neighbors mulling a third bailout for Greece

By Alan Clendenning Associated Press MADRID — Eurozone nations are negotiating a third bailout worth as much as 50 billion euros ($56 billion) for Greece, Spain’s economy minister said Monday.

But in a sign of the state of uncertainty surrounding the efforts to stabilize Greece’s finances, the eurozone’s top financial official denied the claim.

Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said at a conference in the northeastern city of Pamplona that a new bailout would provide between 30 billion euros and 50 billion euros. Its “central scenario for Greece is a deal on the basis of the current bailout, and new conditions to be set with flexibility.”

“Greece will not leave the eurozone,” the minister said, according to comments distributed to media

outlets by his ministry.

“That would not be good for Greece and for the eurozone.”

Soon after those comments, the spokeswoman for the leader of the Eurogroup, the gathering of eurozone finance ministers of which de Guindos is a member, said she was unaware of talks for a third bailout.

The bailout that de Guindos outlined “is not something that is being discussed,” said Simone Boitelle, the spokeswoman for Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who is both finance minister for the Netherlands and chairman of the Eurogroup.

A Greek finance ministry official, speaking only on condition of anonymity, likewise denied there were any talks. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has ruled out a third bailout.

Greece received a fourmonth extension on its res-

cue loans agreement but will need to make reforms in order to get more money.

It faces a cash crunch as early as this month.

De Guindos made his comments a day after Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy responded angrily to his Greek counterpart’s claim that Spain and Portugal have formed “an axis of forces” trying to overthrow Greece’s newly elected far left government.

Rajoy on Sunday said neither Spain nor Portugal were “responsible for the frustration” generated by Greece’s new government, led by the Syriza party.

Syriza was elected in January with the promise to scrap budget austerity in Greece and overhaul the country’s bailout deal.

It has received some domestic criticism after the deal for an extension of the bailout ensured some austerity would continue.

Dear Abby

Universal Press Syndicate DEAR ABBY: I teach at a fairly small school. My grade-level teaching team consists of five teachers who work closely together.

During the last school year, one of my team members got engaged. This year, we've had a change of staff and now have a new member on our team. My colleague has not, and does not, plan to invite this new member to her wedding, although the rest of us are invited. The savethe-dates and shower invitations have all been hand-delivered at school, making it awkward for the person who has not

been invited.

I feel it wasn't appropriate to include all but one of the team simply because she is new to the group. Am I correct in feeling that my colleague did not handle this appropriately?

FRUSTRATED IN THE FIRST GRADE DEAR FRUSTRATED: A wedding is not a children's birthday party to which all the children must be invited if the invitations are handed out at school. While it would have been more diplomatic if the bride had mailed or emailed the invitations to her teammates, she was in no way obligated to invite someone with whom she hadn't worked.

HHHHH DEAR ABBY: How do you handle providing truthful advice to someone with sensitive feelings? My sister "Ella" is actively dating and doesn't seem to handle the rejection well. This leads her to ask a number of questions she

Comics wants me to be truthful about, yet when I answer honestly, she gets mad and sometimes starts to cry.

Now when Ella asks my opinion, I either tell her halftruths or avoid the situation altogether. I'm not mean when I say what I think, but I think she only wants to hear what she wants. How do I answer her questions without hurting her feelings yet be truthful?

TONGUE-TIED IN OHIO DEAR TONGUE-TIED: You don't. Instead, you suggest that Ella seek information from someone "more qualified" — a psychologist. Because she has had one failed relationship after another, it would benefit her to talk to a therapist so she won't keep repeating the same mistakes she's making. Your sister may be attracted to the wrong kind of men, or so needy she chases men away. She may be more receptive to hearing what she needs to from a therapist than from you.

DEAR ABBY: I have a man living with me as a boarder, paying weekly rent. He's a friend as well, but not a close one.

I'm at a loss as to how to tell him he can't use my bath towels, washcloth, bar soap, toothpaste or hairbrush. I'm tempted to tape a list on the bathroom mirror saying, "Please do not use the following," then list the items I feel are too personal to share. I can't imagine how someone would think it's OK to use someone else's personal things.

GROSSED-OUT GUY IN THE SOUTH DEAR GROSSED OUT: The thing about silence is that it implies consent. Obviously, your boarder knows or cares nothing about boundaries. If you don't have the courage to tell him face-to-face that certain things are off-limits and what they are, then by all means tape a large sign to the bathroom mirror.

King Features Syndicate Dear Heloise: I was reading your column, which I read every day, about EMERGENCY INFORMATION. I live in Arkansas, and it is a state that uses the Smart911 program in some counties. I set up my account and update my medical information if it changes. The medical technicians have all my information in their computers and do not have to spend time trying to find it in my home. Since I live alone, this is a great comfort.

Sandy D. in Arkansas Sandy, thanks for giving me the opportunity to let my readers know about this FREE service. It is available only in a few areas of the country, but is expanding quickly.

Listen up, folks! What happens if your household uses only cellphones (and has no landline), and you have to call 911 right now? You will be shocked to learn that your physical address and cellphone number DO NOT show up on the screen at the 911 center. Nor does a text message! (No, the average 911 center CANNOT triangulate your position like on TV shows!)

The service is really beneficial for people who DO NOT have a landline phone. More than 30 percent of households in the United States have "86'd" (canceled, in restaurant lingo) their landline phones.

What happens if you call 911 from you cellphone but are traveling out of state? Guess what? Your call gets routed to a 911 service center -- hopefully nearby, but maybe not. You have to TELL them where you are, and give them your phone number.

Smart911 allows you to register your main phone number, along with a "safety profile" that you fill out. The profile can contain as much or as little information as you want to provide: a physical address, your home or street address and apartment number, number of occupants, pets, cars, medical conditions, safety concerns and information that will help the responders.

Visit Smart911.com, or call your city's law-enforcement department to check if where you live is equipped with this service.

Budget standoff leaves Rubio close to decision college hopefuls in limbo about presidential run

SLOP

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — University of California admissions officers are sifting through a record number of applications, but they have no idea how many new students they can enroll.

The uncertainty stems from the very public clash between university President Janet Napolitano and Gov. Jerry Brown over the state’s role in underwriting the cost of a UC education for qualified Californians.

Arguing that Sacramento has failed to fulfill its fiscal obligations, Napolitano plans to raise tuition 5 percent this fall and expand undergraduate enrollment by 3,000 — one-third of the slots for Californians and two-thirds for students from abroad and out-ofstate. The governor, for his part, is threatening to withhold about $120 million in state funds unless the university keeps both its tuition rates and non-resident enrollment flat.

Their competing visions — along with additional plans by top lawmakers — have thrown off the tenuous mechanics of the admissions cycle. Campus officials still are waiting to find out what their overall enrollments are expected to

be, a figure they use to calculate how many new students they can accept and then what proportion will be state residents subsidized by taxpayers, system spokeswoman Dianne Klein said.

“Campuses are in a really tough position. We don’t have a state budget, so we don’t know what the state will provide to the university, and at the same time we have a responsibility to reply to applicants,” Klein said. “How is that going to translate? Is it going to be admitting fewer students?

Is it going to be putting more students on the wait list ... ? It will not be admitting more students than we reasonably know we have funding for.”

The rapidly growing nonresident enrollment is a flashpoint in budget negotiations. Between 2008 and this year, in response to recession-induced budget cuts and what the university says has been insufficient funding to support more in-state students, the share of nonresident undergraduates more than doubled system-wide while in-state enrollment grew by about 1 percent.

“That is a disparity that every California taxpayer

is concerned about, that triple-digit difference,” Assemblywoman Catharine Baker, a newly elected Republican from Dublin, California, and mother of twins, told the university’s chief financial officer during a recent hearing.

At Berkeley and Los Angeles, students from other states and countries make up about one in five undergraduates. They account for one in seven at UC San Diego and nearly one in 10 at the Davis, Irvine and Santa Barbara campuses.

Officials insist they would happily serve more students from California if the state gave them more money, and they point out that UCLA and UC Berkeley have far fewer non-resident students than public colleges such as University of Michigan and University of Virginia. They also say the $640 million in nonresident tuition campuses have generated this year has allowed them to offer more classes and maintain programs benefiting all students. Nonresidents pay $22,878 on top of the $12,192 in tuition and fees for residents.

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Marco Rubio isn’t quite ready to say he’s running for president, yet admits it sure does look like he will seek the White House in 2016.

“I think that’s reflected in both our travel and some of the staffing decisions that we’ve made,” the Florida senator told The Associated Press. “We — if in fact I make that final decision on a run — want those elements to be in place.”

The message that his decision is still pending is one Rubio delivered again this past week on stage, both at the Conservative Public Action Conference outside Washington and at the conservative Club For Growth in Palm Beach. But allies of the first-term senator and former speaker of the Florida House who have spoken with him about his plans fully expect that he will run for president, rather than a second Senate term.

“I assume he’s running,” said Wayne Berman, a veteran Republican fundraiser who was chairman of Sen. John McCain’s presidential fundraising in 2008. “He will help the party turn the page, politically, to the next

generation.”

Nearly a dozen people close to Rubio, including GOP officials, fundraisers and his advisers, say Rubio has told them he is in the final stages of planning the launch of his presidential run and will formally join the crowded field of Republican hopefuls as early as April. All spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss their private conversations with Rubio.

Berman said he is working to line up — and keep — donors to finance that national campaign. Among the donors who have signed on: Dallas investor George Seay and Goldman Sachs’ Joe Wall.

Rubio’s goal is to raise $50 million before next year’s Iowa caucuses, according to four donors who have spoken to Rubio about the likely campaign’s budget.

“Marco’s best asset is Marco,” said former congressional aide Scott Weaver, who organized a recent dinner for potential donors and is serving as a co-chairman of Rubio’s advisory committee. “If you can get Marco in front of people, he sells himself. It’s been an easier sales pro-

cess than we thought at this point.”

Rubio’s team is also aggressively courting Spencer Zwick, Mitt Romney’s top fundraiser in the 2012 presidential race. Zwick is sought after by several prospective Republican candidates and has also spoken favorably about Rubio’s chief rival, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush.

That competition is vicious. One high-profile Rubio finance lieutenant, former Rep. Bill Paxon, had helped raise tens of thousands for Rubio. But on Monday, Paxon announced he was switching his allegiances to Bush.

“Gov. Bush has the principles, temperament and judgment, along with the proven executive track record, to successfully run for and then serve as our country’s next president,” Paxon said in a statement.

Bush was a mentor to Rubio during their time in Florida. The two are likely to compete for many of the same donors, both in Florida and nationwide, and Rubio acknowledges it would be “a bit unusual” to run against Bush.
