US cardinals investigate Vatican dysfunction

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Cardinals said Monday they want to talk to Vatican managers about allegations of corruption and cronyism within the top levels of the Catholic Church before they elect the next pope, evidence that a scandal over leaked papal documents is casting a shadow over the conclave and setting up one of the most unpredictable papal elections in recent times.

The Vatican said 107 of the 115 voting-age cardinals attended the first day of preconclave meetings, at which cardinals organize the election, discuss the problems of the church and get to know one another before voting.

The red-capped “princes” of the church took an oath of

secrecy and decided to pen a letter of “greeting and gratitude” to Benedict XVI, whose resignation has thrown the church into turmoil amid a torrent of scandals inside and out of the Vatican.

“I would imagine that as we move along there will be questioning of cardinals involved in the governing of the Curia to see what they think has to be changed, and in that context anything can come up,” said U.S. Cardinal Francis George.

The Holy See’s administrative shortcomings were thrust into stark relief last year with the publication of documents stolen from Benedict’s desk that exposed the petty infighting, turf battles and allegations of corruption,

nepotism and cronyism in the highest echelons of the Catholic Church.

The pope’s butler was convicted of stealing the papers and leaking them to a journalist; he eventually received a papal pardon.

The emeritus pope, meanwhile, remained holed up at the papal residence at Castel Gandolfo, his temporary retirement home while the discussions on picking his successor kick into gear in Rome.

No date has been set yet for the conclave and one may not be decided on officially for a few more days; the dean of the College of Cardinals has said a date won’t be See VATICAN, Page A3

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans controlling the House moved Monday to ease a crunch in Pentagon readiness while limiting the pain felt by such agencies as the FBI and the Border Patrol from the across-theboard spending cuts that are just starting to take effect.

The effort is part of a huge spending measure that would fund day-to-day federal operations through September — and head off a potential government shutdown later this month.

The measure would leave in place automatic cuts of 5 percent to domestic agencies and 7.8 percent to the Pentagon ordered by President

President Barack Obama welcomes his new Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, right, at the start of a cabinet meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House, Monday.

The state Senate Public Affairs Committee is scheduled at 2 p.m. today to hear a bill sponsored by Sen. Stuart Ingle, R-Portales, that would require more identity verification for driver’s license applicants.

SB 521 would require, as of July 1, a Social Security number from eligible applicants for certain driver’s licenses, allow licenses to be accepted by federal agencies and limit the duration of licenses for foreign nationals.

Under the bill, two separate and distinctly designed driver’s licenses would be created, one meeting the requirements to be accepted by federal agencies and one not intended for use by federal agencies.

House OKs liquor ban for some DWI offenders SANTA FE (AP) — Many convicted drunken drivers in New Mexico will be prohibited from buying alcohol under legislation approved by the House on Monday although supporters acknowledge there are loopholes that will allow offenders to continue getting liquor.

If the measure becomes law, New Mexico would join at least Alaska in restricting alcohol sales to some convicted drunken drivers, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

New Mexico has long had some of the nation’s worst problems of drunken driving and alcohol-related traffic deaths, and nearly every legislative session there are new proposals to toughen penalties for driving while intoxicated.

The proposal by Democratic Rep. Brian Egolf, of Santa Fe, will prohibit drunken drivers with ignition interlocks from buying alcohol.

Four dozen Syrian soldiers seeking refuge are killed in Iraq ambush See FUNDING, Page A3

BAGHDAD (AP) — Dozens of Syrian soldiers who had crossed into Iraq for refuge were ambushed Monday with bombs, gunfire and rocketpropelled grenades in an attack that killed 48 of them and heightened concerns that the country could be drawn into Syria’s civil war.

The fact that the soldiers were on Iraqi soil at all raises questions about Baghdad’s apparent willingness to quietly aid the embattled regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The well-coordinated attack, which Iraqi officials blamed on al-Qaida’s Iraq arm, also suggests possible coordination between the militant group and its ideological allies in Syria who rank among the rebels’ most potent fighters.

Iraqi officials said the Syrians had sought refuge through the Rabiya border

crossing in northern Iraq during recent clashes with rebels and were being escorted back home through a different crossing farther south when the ambush occurred.

Their convoy was struck near Akashat, not far from the Syrian border.

Ali al-Moussawi, a spokesman for Iraq’s prime minister, provided the death toll and said nine Iraqi soldiers were also killed. The Syrians had been disarmed and included some who were wounded, he told The Associated Press.

He said the soldiers had been allowed into Iraq only on humanitarian grounds and insisted that Baghdad was not picking sides in the Syrian conflict.

“We do not want more soldiers to cross our borders and we do not want to be part of the problem,” alMoussawi said. “We do not

support any group against the other in Syria.”

The Iraqi Defense Ministry said 10 additional Syrians were wounded in the assault.

In a statement, it warned all parties in the Syrian war against bringing the fight into Iraq, saying its response will be “firm and tough.”

Iraqi officials who provided details of the attack described a carefully orchestrated assault on the Syrians’ convoy, with a senior military intelligence official saying the attackers appeared to have been tipped off ahead of time.

He and another Iraqi official, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to release the information, said it was unlikely that Syrian rebels had managed to cross into Iraq to carry out the attack.

The Syrian conflict started two years ago as a popular

Verhalen said he spoke with his kids Sunday around noon and they said it appeared to be a good day to fly.

But there were strong gusty winds across norther n New Mexico Sunday afternoon and “we had all kinds of warnings posted on the front desk, plus we questioned the pilot as to whether he really wanted to go in that weather,” Wright said.

No other flights came in or left Sunday afternoon, he said.

Verhalen III was an aerospace engineer and his sister worked in human resources for a large company in the Dallas area, their father said. He declined to name the companies for which they worked. No plans for their return or funeral services have been made so far, he added.

The plane was registered to Verhalen Flyers in Scottsville, which is about 150 miles east of Dallas.

The cause of the crash is under investigation.

Stolen family heirlooms found and returned

A woman was reunited with family heirlooms, Friday, after she contacted the Roswell Police Department and was able to positively describe her missing items.

The heirloom items consisted primarily of documents and books dating back to the 1800s. One hymnal, published in Pennsylvania but printed in German, was released in 1841.

Wendy Lunsford showed a New Testament and Psalter published in German. The family had newspapers from the Yukon gold rush days. Her grandfather Pahl on her mother’s side of the family kept a notebook with maps and clips.

“He didn’t get rich there. He made just enough money to pay his transportation back to the States.”

For Lunsford, though, the memorabilia has sentimental value and a wealth of family history. She said she had what she thought to be his discharge papers from the German Army in 1887. Her grandfather was born in 1867, four years before the formal unification of Germany on Jan. 18, 1871. There is a German passport.

Lunsford said that her father’s family (Layer) had been in the United States for several generations.

Her mother’s family, the Pahls, were later transplants, with her grandfa-

ther meeting her grandmother in 1891 and married in 1893. Her grandfather Pahl was a baker who is reputed to have created the recipe for all butter bread. He trained in Germany as a baker, and owned a bakery in Dubuque, Iowa; his wife trained as cook.

The heirlooms were stolen from a storage facility that was burglarized twice in January. The items were recovered on Jan. 18 when the Chaves County

Metro Narcotics Task Force, the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firear ms and Explosives raided two separate residences in the 1200 block of West 11th Street and on Del Norte Drive.

Five were arrested after officials located methamphetamines, firearms and the historial documentation. Police had been looking for the document’s owners since then.

Although Lunsford is

pleased to have had some of the items returned, she believes some are still missing, including personal letters between David Layer and his wife during World War II. She is asking people to contact the RPD at 575624-6770 if they find any old documents or letters with either the Pahl or the Layer family name on them. j.palmer@rdrnews.com

Study shows declining life span for some US women Roswell Daily Record

NEW YORK (AP) — A new study offers more compelling evidence that life expectancy for some U.S. women is actually falling, a disturbing trend that experts can’t explain.

The latest research found that women age 75 and younger are dying at higher rates than previous years in nearly half of the nation’s counties — many of them rural and in the South and West. Curiously, for men, life expectancy has held steady or improved in nearly all counties.

The study is the latest to spot this pattern, especially among disadvantaged white women. Some leading theories blame higher smoking rates, obesity and less education, but several experts said they simply don’t know why.

Women have long outlived men, and the latest numbers show the average life span for a baby girl born today is 81, and for a baby boy, it’s 76. But the gap has been narrowing and data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has shown women’s longevity is not growing at the same pace as men’s.

The phenomenon of some women losing ground appears to have begun in the late 1980s, though studies have begun to spotlight it only in the last few years.

Trying to figure out why is “the

finalized until all the cardinals have arrived.

Eight voting-age cardinals are still en route to Rome; some had previously scheduled speaking engagements, others were due in over the coming days, the Vatican said.

Their absence, however, didn’t otherwise delay the conclave’s preparations.

Speculation has mounted that the conclave might begin around March 11, with the aim of having a new pope installed by March 17, the Sunday before Palm Sunday and the start of Holy Week.

With 115 electors, 77 votes are needed to reach the two-thirds majority to be elected pope.

Those who were in Rome prayed together Monday, chatted over coffee and took an oath to maintain “rigorous secrecy with regard to all matters in any way related to the election of the Roman Pontiff.”

The core agenda item is to set the date for the conclave and put in place the procedures to prepare for it, including closing the Sistine Chapel to visitors and getting the Vatican hotel cleared out and swept for bugs or other electronic monitoring devices, lest anyone try to listen in on the cardinals’ secret conversations.

Yet the first day of discussion was rocked by new revelations of scandal after Scottish Cardinal Keith O’Brien admitted that his “sexual conduct has fallen below the standards expected of me as a priest, archbishop and cardinal.”

O’Brien last week resigned as archbishop of St. Andrews and Edinburgh and said he wouldn’t participate in the conclave after four men came forward with allegations that he had acted inappropriately with them — the first time a cardinal has stayed away from a conclave because of personal scandal.

At a briefing discussing the priorities for the future pontificate, George said the next pope will have to follow canon law and keep

The committee also is expected to hear a similar bill, sponsored by Sen. Pete Campos, D-Las Vegas.

Rep. Paul Pacheco, RAlbuquerque, has intro-

hot topic right now, trying to understand what’s going on,” said Jennifer Karas Montez, a Harvard School of Public Health sociologist who has been focused on the life expectancy decline but had no role in the new study.

Researchers also don’t know exactly how many women are affected. Montez says a good estimate is roughly 12 percent.

The study, released Monday by the journal Health Affairs, found declining life expectancy for women in about 43 percent of the nation’s counties.

The researchers, David Kindig and Erika Cheng of the University of Wisconsin, looked at federal death data and other information for nearly all 3,141 U.S. counties over 10 years. They calculated mortality rates for women age 75 and younger, sometimes called “premature death rates,” because many of those deaths are considered preventable.

Many counties have such small populations that even slight changes in the number of deaths produce dramatic swings in the death rate from year to year. To try to stabilize the numbers, the researchers computed some fiveyear averages. They also used statistical tricks to account for factors like income and education.

They found that nationwide, the

priests who molested children out of parishes.

“He obviously has to accept the universal code of the church which is zero tolerance for anyone who has ever abused a minor child and therefore may not remain in public ministry in the church,” George said.

Separately, the Vatican is still reeling from the fallout of the scandal over leaked papal documents, and the investigation by three cardinals into who was behind it.

American cardinals seem particularly keen to get to the bottom of the Vatican dysfunction, and they have had access to a very knowledgeable tutor, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, the Vatican’s ambassador to Washington.

Vigano’s letters to the pope were the most explosive leaks of documents last year; in them, Vigano pleaded with Benedict not to be transferred after exposing alleged corruption in the awarding of Vatican contracts that cost the Holy See millions of euros (dollars).

Vigano was named the Vatican’s ambassador to Washington, and as such has been able to give U.S. cardinals a clear-eyed view of the true state of the Vatican, said Corriere della Sera commentator Massimo Franco.

In his new book “The Crisis of the Vatican Empire,” Franco paints a portrait of a Vatican completely falling apart, with financial scandals at its bank, backstabbing among its ruling class and the sex abuse scandal discrediting the church on the global stage.

“If we think of the pope, in a way the pope decided to sacrifice himself because he couldn’t change anything,” Franco said.

Coupled with the upheaval of Benedict’s resignation, the scandals have contributed to create one of the most unclear papal elections in recent times.

“It will be a very open conclave with a very unpredictable outcome,” Franco said. duced a bill similar to Ingle’s in the state House of Representatives. Earlier in the legislative session, a House committee tabled a bill sponsored by Pacheco that would have repealed the provision in New Mexico law that allows undocumented immigrants to receive driver’s licenses.

The Public Affairs Committee meeting will be available for online viewing live on the Legislature’s website, nmlegis.gov/lcs/.

rate of women dying younger than would be expected fell from 324 to 318 per 100,000. But in 1,344 counties, the average premature death rate rose, from 317 to about 333 per 100,000. Deaths rates rose for men in only about 100 counties.

“We were surprised” by how much worse women did in those counties, and by the geographic variations, Kindig said.

The study wasn’t the first to reach those conclusions. Two years ago, a study led by the University of Washington’s Dr. Christopher Murray also looked at county-level death rates. It too found that women were dying sooner, especially in the South.

Some other studies that focused on national data have highlighted steep declines in life expectancy for white women who never earned a high school diploma. Meanwhile, life expectancy seems to be growing for more educated and affluent women. Some experts also have suggested smokers or obese women are dragging down life expectancy.

The Murray and Kindig studies both spotlight regional differences.

Some of the highest smoking rates are in Southern states, and the proportion of women who failed to finish high school is also highest in the South.

“I think the most likely explanation for why mortality is getting worse is those factors are just stronger in those counties,” Murray said, adding that abuse of Oxycontin and other drugs also may add to the problem.

Some also think the statistics could reflect a migration of healthier women out of rural areas, leaving behind others who are too poor and unhealthy to relocate.

That would change the rate, and make life expectancy in a county

to have an ignition interlock, which are intended to prevent vehicles from operating if they detect alcohol on the driver’s breath. Drivers must blow into the devices before they start vehicles, and randomly after that.

Offenders without a car aren’t required to have one of the devices, and it’s estimated that only about half of the state’s convicted drunken drivers have interlocks.

People with interlock receive special driver’s licenses from the state and the legislation will require the license to indicate that the person can’t buy alcohol.

“We’re trying to come at this terrible problem of drunk driving from a different angle instead of just more penalties,” Egolf told his colleagues. “We’re trying to prevent or pre-empt the behavior that would lead to the charge of drunk driving.”

Egolf said he developed the legislation after seeing a man buy a soda and two miniature bottles of liquor at a convenience store, mix them and drive off in a vehicle equipped with an interlock.

Egolf and other supporters said the measure won’t stop all drunken drivers from buying alcohol.

Funding

Continued from Page A1

Barack Obama Friday night after months of battling with Republicans over the budget. But the House Republicans’ legislation would award the Defense and Veterans Affairs departments their detailed 2013 budgets, giving those agencies more flexibility on where money is spent, while other agencies would be frozen at 2012 levels — and then bear the across-the-board cuts.

The impact of the new cuts was proving slow to reach the broader public as Obama convened the first Cabinet meeting of his second term to discuss next steps.

The Pentagon did say it would furlough thousands of military school teachers around the world and close commissaries an extra day each week. And Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said the spending cuts were causing delays in customs lines at airports including Los Angeles International and O’Hare International in Chicago.

Obama said he was continuing to seek out Republican partners to reach a deal to ease or head off the cuts, but there was no sign that a breakthrough was in the works to reverse them.

The new GOP funding measure is set to advance through the House on Thursday. It’s aimed at preventing a government shutdown when a six-month spending bill passed last September runs out March 27.

The latest measure would provide a $10 billion increase for military operations and maintenance efforts and a boost for veterans’ health programs, but would put most the rest of the government on budget autopilot. Military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq would be cut to $87 billion — down from $115 billion last year — reflecting ongoing troop withdrawals from Afghanistan.

“It is clear that this nation is facing some very hard choices, and it’s up to Congress to pave the way for our financial future,” said bill sponsor Harold Rogers, R-Ky., chairman of

look worse, explained Bob Anderson of the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics “We shouldn’t jump to the conclusion that more people are getting sicker in these geographic areas than previously,” he said.

But that is open to debate.

Migration didn’t seem to affect male death rates. Murray disagrees with the theory, saying he has tracked a great deal of movement from urban areas to lesspopulated counties.

cers and convenience stores — aren’t required by law to check the age of all people buying alcohol. Egolf said there was opposition from retailers to establishing a mandatory ID check requirement.

“Anybody can go have a drink in a restaurant that has their ID because they don’t ask for that when you go out to dinner,” said Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton, D-Albuquerque. “I see loopholes in what you’re trying to do although your intent is a good one.”

House Democratic Whip Antonio “Moe” Maestas of Albuquerque said the legislation attempts to outlaw alcoholism.

“The government cannot solve alcoholism through a deterrent or through the criminal justice system,” Maestas said. “The cops and judges, no matter how wise they are, cannot stop alcoholism. It’s going to take counselors and doctors and family members and communities.”

But Egolf said the proposal may help save lives if it prevents some drivers from drinking.

“This is not a 100 percent universally perfect measure, but it’s meant as a deterrent,” Egolf said.

The bill passed the House on a 59-5 vote and goes to the Senate for consideration. Time is running out for the measure. The Legislature will adjourn in less than two weeks. the House Appropriations Committee. “But right now, we must act quickly and try to make the most of a difficult situation. This bill will fund essential federal programs and services, help maintain our national security, and take a potential shutdown off the table.

Senate Democrats want to add more detailed budgets for domestic Cabinet agencies but it’ll take GOP help to do so.

The House measure denies money sought by Obama and his Democratic allies to implement the signature 2010 laws overhauling the health care system and financial regulation.

After accounting for the across-the-board cuts, domestic agencies would face reductions exceeding 5 percent when compared with last year. But Republicans would carve out a host of exemptions seeking to protect certain functions, including federal prisons and fire-fighting efforts in the West, and to provide new funding for embassy security and modernizing the U.S. nuclear arsenal. The FBI and the Border Patrol would be able to maintain current staffing levels and would not have to furlough employees.

The legislation would provide about $2 billion more than the current level to increase security at U.S. embassies and diplomatic missions worldwide. Last September, a terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

A project to repair the Capitol Dome in Washington could stay on track, and NASA’s space flight budget would be protected from the harshest effects of the automatic cuts, known in Washington as a sequester. An initiative to upgrade the Coast Guard fleet would be funded as well.

The across-the-board cuts would carve $85 billion in spending from the government’s $3.6 trillion budget for this year, concentrating the cuts in the approximately $1 trillion allocated to the day-to-day agency operating budgets set by Congress each year. Those so-called discretionary accounts received big boosts in the first two years of Obama’s presidency when Democrats controlled Congress but have borne the brunt of the cuts approved as Obama and Republicans have grappled over the budget.

OPINION

Tweety Bird and the New Mexico Legislature In December, Keith Gardner, the governor’s chief of staff, told a legislative forum, “It’s important to put differences aside and collaborate.” He went on to talk about how important it was to “compromise and work together” and to “come together and do what’s best for New Mexico.”

After Republicans bankrolled an election like a coyote hunt that failed to alter the political makeup of the Legislature, Gardner sounded like a cornered Tweety Bird saying, “Nice puddy tat.”

In January the governor sprinkled her state of the state speech with “compromise” and “bipartisan” and extended her hand instead of her foot to Sylvester the Cat. So for this and other reasons (the sequester kicked in as I was writing this), this has been a session of compromise.

More or less.

Right off the bat, the governor

took a couple of major steps. First she committed to Medicaid expansion and decided against pushing right-to-work. That was a respectable olive branch.

We’ve seen good faith negotiating on such high-profile issues as spaceport liability and film tax credits, and in committee the members have held respectful discussions. There is a conscious effort, sometimes voiced, to not look like Congress.

Look at some of the big compromises, and you have to wonder why they didn’t do this before.

The spaceport compromise bills

extend protection against passenger lawsuits to manufacturers and suppliers. It’s not enough to have just Virgin Galactic — we need vendors as well, and they won’t come without the protections that 12 competing states offer.

This bill took several tries because we had a political rookie taking shots at the spaceport before she became governor. And because the northern half of the state was in the dark about how important the spaceport is to the southern half. And because some legislators just didn’t see the urgency in protecting the state’s investment.

Rep. Debbie Rodella, D-Española and chair of the Business and Industry Committee, sounded a mite defensive when the compromise bill passed the House: “I did nothing to hold this bill up.”

So now the touted meeting of the minds is heading toward the finish line, but it has a defective

Roswell Daily Record

O-ring: a sunset clause that undoes the whole thing in 2021.

As Rep. Don Bratton, R-Hobbs, said, that doesn’t exactly encourage investment in New Mexico.

Film incentives, another battleground, saw a truce this year.

Democrats backed off a move to lift the cap on film incentives and settled instead on the “Breaking Bad” bill to give TV shows another 5 percent on the 25 percent rebate for qualified in-state expenses and allows unused film tax credit funds to roll over to the next year.

The same rookie governor made headlines far and wide with her crusade against industry credits.

She got her cap in 2011, and the film people went to friendlier climes, especially Louisiana. Last year the state handed out $9 million, far less than the $50 million allowed.

As one political veteran told me,

“Words hurt.”

This year, I’ve noticed Republicans going out of their way to say nice things about the film industry. The “Breaking Bad” bill, to encourage TV shows, passed unanimously in the House.

I think the most ambitious compromise was the collective effort on pension reform. The wrangling that went on over myriad technical details of public employee pensions is mind numbing, even to number geeks, but after a heroic outreach and dozens of meetings, an array of unions, retiree associations, state agencies, lawmakers and the governor have agreed on a plan to keep the pension funds afloat into the future.

None of the compromises is perfect, but they can work. The fencemending mood isn’t universal; on many bills, legislators still vote along party lines. But Tweety and Sylvester sometimes talk. © New Mexico News Services 2013

Awaiting answer on drones

A major benefit of the U.S Constitution is that it limits the federal government to 17 “enumerated powers,” as Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall called them. The powers are listed in Article I, Section 8; and “enumerated,” obviously, means not infinite.

Unfortunately, presidents over the years have stretched the meaning of “enumerated.” Since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, both President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama have expanded presidential war powers.

This is manifested in the U.S. Senate confirmation struggle over John O. Brennan, the president’s nominee to become the director of the Central Intelligence Agency. Brennan has continued Obama’s policy of stonewalling on whether the gover nment could employ missile-firing unmanned aircraft to kill, without trial, U.S. citizens on American soil.

In drone attacks, directed, so far, at suspected terrorists in foreign countries, the president, advised by his aides, effectively is judge, jury and executioner. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, brought up a key question. She asked Brennan whether any president could, by his authority alone, attack Americans here at home. Brennan replied that President Obama “has not carried out” such attacks and “has no intention of doing so.”

In a Feb. 20 letter to Brennan, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., wrote, “The question that I and many others have asked is not whether the administration has or intends to carry out drone strikes inside the United States, but whether it believes it has the authority to do so. This is an important distinction that should not be ignored.” After all, intentions can change,

by Obama or a successor.

“That amount of authority should not be invested in the president alone,” Benjamin H. Friedman told us; he’s a research fellow in defense and homeland security studies at the libertarian Cato Institute. He said that the American Revolution was fought to end the arbitrary executive authority of King George III. NBC News last month revealed a confidential Justice Department memo contending that targeted killings, including those of American citizens, can be undertaken even if the government does not “have clear evidence that a specific attack on U.S. persons and interests will take place in the immediate future,” in the memo’s words.

Friedman said, “It’s endless authority that’s being claimed, which ought to be disturbing to people.”

On American soil, it seems obvious to us that the president and Brennan should confirm that such killings are illegal. Otherwise, the government eventually could arbitrarily kill even suspected common criminals. If Brennan does not answer that question adequately, his nomination should be rejected by the Senate.

DEAR DOCTOR K: I’ve been diagnosed with a peptic ulcer.

What does that mean? And what’s the treatment?

DEAR READER: A peptic ulcer is a sore or hole that forms in the lining of the stomach or upper part of the small intestine (called the duodenum). If your ulcer is small, you may have few symptoms. But if the ulcer is deep, it can cause bleeding or serious pain.

What causes the ulcer? For many decades, doctors thought they knew the answer: It was acid. Stress and psychological problems led a person to make too much stomach acid.

It was a reasonable theory.

Your stomach does make acid to help you digest food. The acid also could digest your stomach if

The mucus protects the lining of the stomach and duodenum from damage by acid and digestive enzymes.

The “acid theory” held that peptic ulcers were caused either by too much stomach acid, or by a failure in the production of

In the most recent Wall Street Journal-NBC News national poll, one original question captured that fact: “Based on what you have seen, heard or read recently, do you feel that (fill in the blank) is emphasizing unifying the country in a bipartisan way or emphasizing a partisan approach in a way that does not unify the country?”

A plurality of Americans, 48 percent, believes that President Barack Obama is “emphasizing unifying the country in a bipartisan way,” while 43 percent see the president “emphasizing a partisan approach.”

protective mucus, or both.

Almost everyone was convinced the acid theory was correct, even though there was little evidence for it.

Beginning in the early 1980s, two young Australian doctors — Barry Marshall and Robin Warren — pursued a very different theory. They found an unusual kind of bacteria, Helicobacter pylori, inside many peptic ulcers. They argued that these bacteria cause inflammation, weakening the stomach lining and the protective mucus. When stomach acid got into the ulcer, it made the ulcer worse. (I’ve put an illustration of this on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) To help prove the point, Marshall swallowed the bacteria — and shortly thereafter developed pep-

Not spectacular marks, but impressive when compared to the failing grades these same voters on the same question give to the Republican Party.

Consider these two numbers: More than one out of three (34 percent) of those polled self-identified as Republicans, but barely one out of five of the total (22 percent) feel that Republicans are acting in a bipartisan fashion to unify the country. That’s right, not even two-thirds of Republicans give their own party positive grades. By an almost 3-1 margin instead, some 64 percent of respondents see the GOP as following a partisan course

For a decade their ideas were ridiculed. But slowly the evidence became undeniable. The bacteria were even identified as a cause of stomach cancer. In 2005, Marshall and Warren were honored with the Nobel Prize — and very few of their colleagues who had ridiculed them apologized.

Another common cause of stomach lining irritation and ulcers is nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn). NSAIDs block the formation of certain chemicals that normally help protect against ulcers.

“that does not unify the country.”

Republicans also trailed Democrats on a whole series of questions about which party could better help the middle class or handle Medicare to which could better deal with the economy, immigration and taxes. (Out of 12 issues asked, Republicans were given the edge on just three — reducing the federal deficit, controlling government spending and ensuring a strong national defense.)

Dogs are frequently referred to as “man’s best friend.” The complex world of dogs and their ever evolving relationships with the humans who love them has turned that love into a $53 billion industry in the United States. According to the American Pet Products Association, 39 percent of U.S. households own at least one dog. Debra Thomas,

John Homans’ infor mative book “What’s A Dog For? The Surprising History, Science, Philosophy, and Politics of Man’s Best Friend” explores the dog’s complex and prominent place in our world. Evolving from wild animals to working animals to nearly human members of our social fabric, dogs are now the subject of serious scientific studies concerning pet ownership, evolutionary theory and even cognitive science. From new insights into what makes dogs so appealing to humans, to the health benefits associated with owning a dog, Homans investigates why the human-canine relationship has evolved so rapidly. Our pets have much to teach us about love, death and morality; and ultimately, in their closeness and difference, about what it means to be human.

The truth about the Prairie Chicken controversy

Dear Editor: On Feb. 12 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) conducted a public input meeting on the proposed listing of the Lesser Prairie Chicken under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Preceding that meeting, a rally was held at the airport for local citizens to voice their concern over the proposed listing. During the public input meeting, many people holding public office, people from various state agencies and private citizens spoke out primarily on the economic impact the listing of the Prairie Chicken would have on the economy of eastern New Mexico. And, rightfully so! What was not brought to light was the actions by USFWS that brought the issue of the Prairie Chicken to a head.

This issue involves two massive settlement agreements that restructure the USFWS’s entire program for listing species under the Endangered Species Act. The service negotiated these settlements in secret with two litigious organizations, the Center for Biological Diversity and Wild Earth Guardians.

The settlements involves around 850 species in all, including the Lesser Prairie Chicken in parts of New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. The problem is that the settlements have allowed the litigation priorities of these two groups to dictate listing priorities for species of interest to many. More importantly, the settlements illegally, in my opinion, constrain the service’s ability to prioritize its limited resources for listing species so that the species with the greatest conservation needs receive the service’s attention.

Conservation suffers as a consequence. Here’s why. Once the service decides that a proposal to list a species as threatened or endangered is warranted, the service has two choices.

It can propose to list the species or it can decide that proposing to list the species is “warranted but precluded” by higher priorities. This is the way the Lesser Prairie Chicken has been dealt with for the last 15 years. During this time, much has been done by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish and the BLM to substantially improve the habitat of the Prairie Chicken. The local Southern New Mexico Chapter of Safari Club International, working with these two agencies, has invested $40,000 of its own money to buy and build water catchment facilities for the Prairie Chicken, deer, antelope and other wildlife in the habitat area.

“Warranted but precluded” species are called “candidate” species. The service can, and often does, encourage states and other stake holders to take action to conserve candidate species so that a later listing is not needed. This is exactly what the NMDGF, BLM and the Southern New Mexico Chapter of SCI have been doing.

In its settlements with CBD and WEG, the service gave away, for 260 species, its statutory authority to grant candidate status. By certain deadlines, the service will either find that the listing is not warranted, an unlikely finding, or propose a rule to list the species. The settlement is likely to lead to a proposal to list and, one year later, a listing for each of these species.

A listing will mean the end of state and local management of the species. In fact, because of the settlements, the service recently proposed to list the Lesser Prairie Chicken as threat-

ened under the ESA. The Lesser Prairie Chicken has been a candidate species since 1998 and has been the beneficiary of extensive state and private conservation efforts. In the end, species subject to the settlements, in particular certain species hand-picked by the CBD and WEG, receive priority over all other species, regardless of which species truly are the highest priorities and which species would benefit from continued candidate status and conservation by states and other stakeholders.

By giving in to the threat of litigation, rather than relying on sound science to determine the candidacy of a species, USFWS broke its own rules that they established in 1983 that stated no decisions on the candidacy of a species would be determined by the threat of litigation, but would only be based on sound scientific determination. The USFWS is clearly now in league with extremist environmental groups to the detriment of hundreds of species, and the detriment of state and local economies.

Republicans are in denial

Dear Editor, Mister Terry Koenig of Lake Arthur must be a Republican.

His letter (RDR Feb. 7) has all the ear marks of the Republican Brand.

He said I “extolled the virtues” of the “New American.” I did not praise any person, party or ideology. I stated very clearly that, in my opinion, the New American was not good or bad, right or wrong, moral or immoral. I said it is simply a fact, and I stand by that assertion.

He further stated that I used “racially charged” statements.

I stated that granting voting rights to blacks weakened white men’s strangle hold on voting power. This is not racial; that is fact. I also stated that granting voting rights to women had the same effect. Is this racial?

I said that in the last election Latinos voted over 70 percent for Obama, blacks over 90 percent. This is not racial. This is fact.

I said single women and young people under 30 voted overwhelmingly for Obama. Is this a “racially charged statement”?

He said he would skip over my account of America’s voting history. That was my entire letter.

He did, indeed, skip over it and used almost his entire letter managing President Obama’s agenda without, in true Republican fashion, offering any alternative to what Obama is trying to do.

Mr. Koenig referred to Obama as “mister” instead of “president.”

The Republicans just can’t, or won’t, accept the reality that Obama won and is the president.

Mr. Koenig correctly stated that President Obama’s strategies have worked so far. Mr. Koenig, that is because about 60 percent of the American people agree with him.

Rogers, founder of The Miracles, dies Peak bloom dates SOUTHFIELD, Mich.

(AP) — Bobby Rogers, a founding member of Motown group The Miracles and a songwriting collaborator with Smokey Robinson, died Sunday at his suburban Detroit home. He was 73.

Motown Museum board member Allen Rawls said Rogers died about 6 a.m. in Southfield. Rogers had been ill for several years.

Rogers for med the gr oup in 1956 with cousin Claudette Rogers, Pete Moore, Ronnie White and Robinson. Their hits included “Shop Around,” “You’ve Really Got a Hold on Me,” “The T racks of My Tears,” “Going to a Go-Go,” “I Second That Emotion” and “The Tears of a Clown.”

“Another soldier in my life has fallen. Bobby Rogers was my brother and a really good friend,” Robinson said Sunday in a statement. “He and I were born on the exact same day in the same hospital in Detroit. I am really going to miss him.

I loved him very much.”

His voice can be heard on Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” with Rogers saying, “It’s just

Rogers and The Miracles were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. He was too ill to attend the ceremony.

He shared songwriting credits with Robinson on The Temptations’ “ T h e Wa y Yo u D o t h e

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington’s famous cherry tree blooms are expected to be at their best between March 26 and March 30.

National Park Service cherry tree expert James Perry made the prediction Monday. This year marks the 101st anniversary of the gift of trees from Japan.

The average peak bloom date is April 4, but last year’s peak came March 20 because of warm weather. Perry said the trees were blooming a little bit earlier than 50 or 75 years ago.

“Ultimately, it’s up to Mother Nature,” when the trees bloom and how long the pink and white flowers last, he said.

Perry said the “peak bloom date,” the day when 70 percent of the blossoms of the Yoshino Cherry trees are open, is expected to be at the end of March. That puts the trees in bloom just before Easter. At this point, cold weather could delay the blooms’ opening.

Once the trees flower, weather will also determine how long the fragile blossoms last, Perry said.

“It really depends on the wind and the rain,” Perry said, adding that the blossoms have lasted for as short as five days and as long as 18 days.

The cherry blossoms draw about 1 million visitors to the nation’s capital each spring. This year’s National Cherry Blossom Festival, which includes events and performances, will run from March 20 to April 14.

‘Giant Slayer’ scares up ho-hum $28 million debut

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It wasn’t exactly a mighty victory, but “Jack the Giant Slayer” won the weekend at the box office.

The War ner Bros. 3-D action extravaganza, based on the Jack and the Beanstalk legend, made just $28 million to debut at No. 1, according to Sunday studio estimates. It had a reported budget of just under $200 million.

But the studio also hit a milestone on the global front with Peter Jackson’s fantasy epic “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” crossing the $1 billion mark worldwide. The first of three films based on the classic J.R.R. Tolkien novel has made $301.1 domestically and $700 million internationally.

“Jack the Giant Slayer” comes from Bryan Singer, director of “The Usual Suspects” and the first two “XMen” movies. It stars Nicholas Hoult, Ewan McGregor, Ian McShane and Stanley Tucci.

Domestically, this is the sixth weekend in a row that movie ticket sales are down, said Paul Dergarabedian, box-office analyst for Hollywood.com. He pointed out that many of the action pictures aimed at men this year — including “Snitch,” “The Last Stand,” “Bullet to the Head” and “Parker” — have been disappointments at the box office.

“Other films have done OK but we need to do better than OK to keep up with last year’s pace,” he said. “Where is the audience? I don’t want to overstate this, but where are the guys?”

Among the few bright spots, the Jason BatemanMelissa McCarthy comedy “Identity Thief” has become the first film to cross the

$100 million mark this year. Now in its fourth week in theaters, the Universal movie has made $107.4 million.

“This is a tough marketplace right now. Everything is underperforming,” Dergarabedian said. “There hasn’t been a huge breakout hit yet. For every ‘Identity Thief’ there have probably been 10 other films that have underperformed.”

Meanwhile, winners at last weekend’s Academy Awards, including “Argo,” “Silver Linings Playbook” and “Life of Pi,” are still sticking around in the top 20 after several months in theaters, further underscoring the weakness of recent new releases.

The top 20 movies at U.S. and Canadian theaters Friday through Sunday, followed by distribution studio, gross, number of theater locations, average receipts per location, total gross and number of weeks in release, as compiled Monday by Hollywood.com are: 1. “Jack the Giant Slayer,” War ner Bros., $27,202,226, 3525 locations, $7,717 average, $27,202,226, one week.

Panthers Thompson gets first PGA Tour victory ousted by Vaughn

VAUGHN — The Lake Arthur boys basketball team was ousted from the District 3-B tournament on Monday, falling to Vaughn 4944.

Lake Arthur jumped ahead 149 after one and led 34-32 going to the fourth, but Vaughn won the final quarter 17-10 to get the win.

“It was pretty much a learning experience for (the kids) and myself,” Panther coach Jordon Cooney said, reflecting on his first year as the team’s coach.

“Overall, it may not be success in wins and losses, but it is success when it comes to learning the game of basketball and how it should be played.”

Luis Velo paced the Panthers (2-16) with 21 points. Dominic Pisana chipped in 12.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — True to his college degree, Michael Thompson looked like an accounting student in a classroom full of star athletes.

The Honda Classic was the first 72-hole event on the PGA Tour that featured Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, who both made news for the wrong reasons. McIlroy walked off the golf course after eight holes of the second round under suspect circumstances that even Jack Nicklaus couldn’t defend.

Woods hit a tee shot so far right that he couldn’t find it, one of two double bogeys in his closing round of 74 that put him in the middle of the pack.

And even though Thompson never lost the lead Sunday at PGA National, the fans paid more attention to the bigger names playing in front of him, whether it was Lee Westwood and Geoff Ogilvy in the group ahead, or Rickie Fowler, who was hard to miss, dressed in Popsicle orange.

But there was no mistaking the golf Thompson played when he closed with a 1-under 69 for a twoshot victory, his first PGA Tour title.

“Everybody wants to see the marquee players, the guys who are exciting or wear the bright clothes and all that,” Thompson said. “I’m not a flashy player. I’m not dramatic or anything like

Lobos celebrating MWC championship See FIRST, Page B3

New Mexico’s Alex Kirk, a Los Alamos alumnus, dunks during the Lobos’ win over Wyoming on Saturday. Kirk and the Lobos secured the regular-season Mountain West Conference title with the victory over the Cowboys.

ALBUQUERQUE — The Wyoming Cowboys went down first — and then the championship nets.

Lobo Coach Steve Alford’s “Drive For Five” had the joyous ending he sought as New Mexico pounded down Wyoming 53-42 Saturday afternoon to clinch his program’s fifth Mountain West title.

And it all happened on Senior Day in front of a jam-packed Pit. “There can be ugly play, but the win is always beautiful,” said Alford.

For sure, the slow-down game Wyoming brought into The Pit wasn’t pretty. There might have been more energy in front of the Cowboys’ bench from coach Larry Shyatt than there was in the Wyoming offense.

“I felt I was watching the movie ‘Hoosiers’ with no shot clock,” said

Alford of Wyoming’s slow-down tempo and the movie based on an Indiana high school championship run in 1954.

“They make you play that way. It’s what they decided to do and we needed to be able to handle that and I thought the guys handled it well.”

The Lobos handled it well enough to form a perfect ending for New Mexico and The Pit. The championship Tshirts and caps were passed around, Alford said goodbye to the two winningest Lobos ever — Jamal Fenton and Chad Adams — and the ladders were placed under the rims for the parade up to the cutting.

There were more Lobo fans that stayed around for the post-game celebration than most teams have at their games.

The Lobos’ win put them in position to clinch an outright title with a win at Nevada or at Air Force. The Lobos

no longer need a road win to wear the MW crown alone as Boise State beat Colorado State, 78-65, in Boise Saturday night to elminate the Rams.

“The last thing we are going to do, because we won a championship in Season 2 (MW regular season), is to let up,” said Alford.

The pace of Saturday’s game probably was to Wyoming’s liking. The Cowboys would milk the clock and try to score in the waning seconds of the shot clock. Sometimes the strategy worked.

Often the Cowboys would tur n down a decent shot in order to burn more time of f the clock and they would end up forcing a “hero” shot over a nasty UNM defense.

They worried too much about the clock and not enough about the scoreboard. It was a fatal mistake.

Original Cinderella now the NCAA’s reigning No. 1 team

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The to-do list for the Gonzaga basketball team got shorter Monday: For the first time, the Zags were ranked No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 poll.

Sweet, but it may get bumpier from there.

Next: Avoiding the potholes that have stopped every other No. 1 this season, then finding a way to the Final Four.

“We don’t believe there is any jinx,” assistant coach Tommy Lloyd said, subbing for coach Mark Few, who was said to be fly fishing and unavailable for comment. “Obviously, it’s a dream for us, the ultimate accomplishment.”

The fact that Few would skip perhaps the biggest day in program history to go fishing says much about the priorities of the coach who helped build and has sustained Gonzaga’s success.

Few has repeatedly said he enjoys the balance between work and family time that Gonzaga provides, a major reason he has not left for a bigger program.

Students celebrated the No. 1 ranking on the downtown campus Monday, and the food services department wheeled out a 20-foot cake that said “Congratulations Zags.”

Staying No. 1 has been tough this season, with Gonzaga the fifth school to hold the spot after replacing Indiana this week. The others were Duke, Louisville and Michigan.

Gonzaga, a small Jesuit school in Spokane, is where crooner Bing Crosby went and where John Stockton threaded pinpoint passes. It has the best record in Division I at 29-2 following weekend wins against BYU and Portland. The Hoosiers, beaten by Minnesota last week, dropped to No. 2.

“We’re not necessarily in pursuit of a ranking,” Lloyd said. “We’re trying to get to the NCAA tour nament. When that’s over, as coaches we can look back and realize what an accomplishment it is and how difficult it is.”

The Zags are the 57th school to be ranked No. 1 since the AP poll began in January 1949. The school is considered a mid-major and reached No. 2 for the first time last week.

Now it will play for the first time at No. 1 on Saturday night in the West Coast Conference semifinals.

The school received 51 first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel, 44 more

Michael Jordan wants paternity lawsuit dismissed

ATLANTA (AP) — Basketball hall of famer Michael Jordan asked a Georgia court on Monday to dismiss a paternity suit against him, calling it a “shameless, bad faith attempt to abuse the legal system.”

Jordan’s lawyer John Mayoue said in a document filed in Fulton County Superior Court that the six-time NBA champion is not the father of Pamela Y. Smith’s 16-year-old son. The paternity of the teen was “conclusively established” in divorce filings between Smith and her ex-husband, Jordan’s attorney wrote.

Jordan, 50, is the majority owner of the NBA’s Charlotte Bobcats. His spokeswoman Estee Portnoy released a statement to The Associated Press.

“Public records show that the paternity of the child was established in a prior case in this same court many years ago and that Michael Jordan is not the father. He also filed a counterclaim seeking sanctions for the false claims made against him. It is unfortunate that well-known figures are the target of these kind of claims. Michael Jordan will vigorously defend himself and his reputation.”

In response to Smith’s lawsuit, Jordan’s lawyer attached a 2003 divorce court filing between Smith and her then-husband Glenville G. Reynolds. The document said the marriage produced one child and listed the boy’s birth date and name. At the end of the document, there is a statement signed by Smith saying everything is “true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.”

The filing said Smith will have legal and physical custody of the child and Reynolds can have visitation. Reynolds was expected to pay child support for the child.

A telephone listed for Reynolds was disconnected. Smith’s publicist did not immediately have a comment on Jordan’s court filing.

Smith’s lawsuit requests Jordan take a paternity test, pay child support and share medical, dental and hospital costs not covered by insurance. She also requested the boy’s last name be changed to Jordan, and asked a judge to order the Georgia Department of Vital Records to issue him a new birth certificate.

Not much evidence is needed for a judge to compel someone in Georgia to submit to a

paternity test, said Randy Kessler, an Atlanta attorney who specializes in family law and is not involved in this case. However, in a case with an established father, it is more difficult because his rights would be affected, Kessler said.

The lawsuit requests that any hearing or trial be conducted in closed court to protect the teen’s privacy.

However, Smith’s publicist acknowledged the teen posted a video to YouTube on Dec. 25, saying Jordan is his father and that he wants him to play a larger role in his life.

“Pamela had no choice but to support her son and his desire to forge a relationship with his father,” Smith’s publicist, April Love, said in a statement Friday. “That’s why she is now speaking out and prompting Michael to do the right thing.”

Love said Smith, 48, and Jordan met in Chicago in the late 1980s.

According to court documents, Smith does not have an attorney. A court date is scheduled for March 12.

Cowboys putting franchise tag on Spencer again

IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Cowboys are putting the franchise tag on Anthony Spencer for the second straight year, this time after he significantly boosted his bargaining power with his best season in Dallas.

The team announced the move Monday and Spencer’s agent, Jordan Woy, wrote in a tweet that negotiations on a long-term contract would continue for the Cowboys’ 2012 sacks leader; Spencer had a careerhigh 11.

The Cowboys released safety Gerald Sensabaugh to clear $1.4 million under the salary cap and have dumped more than $20 million in cap money in the past week by reworking contracts with several veterans.

Dallas, which was penalized $5 million off its cap in both 2012 and 2013, could clear more space by releasing other players or reworking more deals, including that of quarterback Tony Romo.

The franchise tag for Spencer comes with the Cowboys switching from the 3-4 defense to the 4-3, which likely will mean a move to defensive end for Spencer after six years at outside linebacker.

The labor deal reached in 2011 specifies that players must be tagged under their primary position the previous season. Spencer is getting the non-exclusive tag, which puts his 2013 salary designation at $9.6 million if he doesn’t sign a long-term contract. He made $8.8 million with a one-year tender last season.

With the non-exclusive tag, teams have the right to match any offer sheet, or get two first-round draft picks in return for allowing a player to leave.

Spencer’s previous career high in sacks was six, reached twice. He appeared in all 16 games for three straight seasons from 2009-2011 before missing two games early last season with a strained pectoral muscle.

He also had a career-high 55 tackles.

Sensabaugh signed as a free agent in 2009 and was a solid if not spectacular presence in the secondary. He missed two games in four years and led the team with a career-high five interceptions in 2010. He didn’t pick off a pass last season and had 40 tackles, his lowest total in five years.

Dallas also released cornerback Vince Agnew and linebacker Brashton Satele.

Celebrate “We didn’t feel like they could make enough jump shots to beat us,” said Alford.

The Cowboys shot a miserable 28.1 percent from the field. UNM didn’t shoot lights out, gunning at a 35.7-percent clip. “To hold them the way we did in points and shooting percentage, that’s outstanding defense,” said Alford.

“It’s something that we’ve done,” he said referring to winning despite not shooting well.

“Our guys have been there and our guys have understood it.”

A lot of the game stats were

that. I just kind of plod along, make my pars, eliminate the big mistakes and make a few birdies here and there. If I keep doing that and I stick to that game plan, I’m going to have a great career.”

He gladly settled for a great Sunday on another windswept day in south Florida, in conditions so demanding no one shot better than 68 in the final round and only five players managed to break par.

Thompson seized control when he rolled in a 50-foot eagle putt on the third hole, and he thrived on a sense of calm in a wild front nine that also included three bogeys, two birdies and only three pars. He relied on his superb short game to make three par saves in a dangerous five-hole stretch to start the back nine, and he stayed true to the motto of the Alabama golf team: “Finish strong.”

even — except for fouls, free throws and points in the paint.

The Cowboys got whistled 22 times to 12 for the Lobos. UNM went 21 of 27 from the line and Wyoming was 3 of 7 — a discrepancy that didn’t appear to please Shyatt. “I don’t think that my wife would want to know if I got fined,” said Shyatt avoiding commentary on the officiating.

“We just played a little harder than them tonight,” said Fenton.

The paint points were dominated by Lobos. Alex Kirk had 15 points and Cameron Bairstow had 13. The Twin Towers muscled down nine boards apiece.

Kendall Williams dished out six assists and Tony Snell had nine points.

Leading by one shot over Ogilvy, with the flag some 240 yards away on the other side of a lake, Thompson drilled a 5-wood into the left bunker to set up a simple shot that settled about 4 feet for a birdie he didn’t even need.

“This week was magical,” Thompson said. “Just had a groove and kept feeling it.”

He finished at 9-under 271 and his outlook was as bright as the afternoon sunshine. Thompson moved to No. 45 in the world ranking to secure a spot in his first World Golf Championship this week at Doral. Already in the Masters and U.S. Open because of his runner -up finish in the U.S. Open last year, he also gets into the PGA Championship, and two more WGC events the rest of the year.

And he gets to start the season in Hawaii at the Tournament of Champions.

Sunday was a day when others had reason to claim the consolation prize.

By one shot, Ogilvy missed ending last year in the top 50 in the world

“We just don’t have one main player the nation can focus on,” said Adams. “It’s a collective group of people who work together every day. I think that’s the good thing about our team.

“But we’re a defensive team.

We don’t mind scoring in the 50s and still coming out with a victory.”

Alford said Bairstow and Kirk “have been tremendous for us down the stretch. They give us a presence (inside).”

The Lobos were up 25-19 at the half. A key stretch in the second half came at the 5:19 mark when Snell hit a trey off a Williams drive and feed and UNM was up 44-34.

Wyoming’s Derrious Gilmore

ranking, which would have assured him a spot in the Masters. He missed four straight cuts on the West Coast and his ranking plunged to No. 79. He missed the Match Play Championship last week.

He figured he had no chance of making the field at Doral. And the Masters was looking more and more like a long shot.

But he opened with 13 straight pars and finished with flair. From behind the 16th green, his chip hung on the left edge of the cup and dropped for an unexpected birdie, and then his 65-foot eagle putt came up just short and gave him a 69 to finish alone in second place.

That moved the Australian to No. 47 in the world and got him into Doral, which he won five years ago. It was a start toward getting back to Augusta National.

“I kind of penciled in a week off,” Ogilvy said. “So it’s nice, and it gets me back in the mix for the Masters.”

Zags

came down and forced a bad shot inside over pressure. UNM came down and Williams hit a jumper to push the Lobos up 46-34 with 4:21 to play.

The Cowboys had only one player in double figures: Riley Grabau with 14. Gilmore was 2 of 13 from the field with four turnovers. Larry Nance Jr. had 10 boards.

The Lobos finish the MW season with road games at Nevada and at Air Force and then move into the Mountain West Tournament in Las Vegas as the No. 1 seed.

The Lobos might have their fifth ring, but they are still fattening up an impressive resume to place in front of the NCAA

than Indiana. Duke, winners over Miami after a loss to Virginia, remained third with five first-place votes.

Kansas and Georgetown both jumped two spots to fourth and fifth. The Hoyas received the other two firstplace votes. Miami, Michigan, Louisville, Kansas State and Michigan State rounded out the top 10.

New Mexico is just two spots outside the top 10, moving up two spots to 12th this week.

Virginia Commonwealth and UCLA, both ranked earlier in the season, returned to the poll at 21st and 23rd, respectively.

Gonzaga’s rise to the top comes 14 years after the school burst onto the national scene with a surprise run to the final eight of the NCAA tournament.

Since then, Few has guided the Zags to 12 conference titles, 13 trips to the tournament and four trips to

Selection Committee.

“We are going to make the committee look hard and long at New Mexico, that’s for sure,” said Alford.

The Lobos will be getting some stern looks in Vegas, too. There are a number of Mountain West teams with solid NCAA resumes, but if you are a Mountain West team not named Lobos, you don’t want to be sitting on the NCAA bubble hoping for an atlarge bid. You need the automatic bid that awaits in the Thomas & Mack Center.

UNM’s Fenton said the Lobos are looking to get “more bling for the ring.” That extra bling will not come easy in Vegas. rstevens50@comcast.net

the round of 16.

Along the way, Gonzaga has produced a slew of NBA players, including Dan Dickau, Adam Morrison, Ronny Turiaf, Austin Daye, Robert Sacre and Jeremy Pargo. The team features players from Canada, France, Germany and Poland along with Stockton’s son, David.

Kelly Olynyk, the 7-foot Canadian center, leads the team in scoring at nearly 18 points a game and averages seven rebounds. He calls the No. 1 ranking a “great milestone.”

“We have a special team this year,” he said. “It shows that college basketball in the rest of the country has a lot of respect for us.”

Olynyk never dreamed that he would be playing for the No. 1 team in the nation when he chose Gonzaga over other offers.

“It never even crossed my mind,” he said.

Spokane is a city of 200,000 near the Idaho and Canadian borders. The Lilac City is a blue-collar

town, far from the hightech wealth of the Seattle area. But basketball is one place where the state’s second-largest city outshines Seattle. Gonzaga, in fact, is the first team from the state of Washington to be ranked No. 1.

At the time of Gonzaga’s run to the final eight, the school had fewer than 5,000 students and was struggling with enrollment and budget issues.

Today, enrollment is at 7,800 and new buildings are popping up on campus all the time. The 6,000-seat McCarthey Athletic Center, which opened in 2004, has been sold out for all but one game. The Zags have rewarded their fans with a 120-8 home record there.

“Our success with basketball is a significant component of the convergence of forces that allowed us to grow,” said school president Dr. Thayne McCulloh.

Now, the Zags, newly anointed No. 1, head to the league tournament in Las Vegas.

Vyjack looking to give owner another big score

Life is good for the owner of the latest 3-year-old to race onto the Kentucky Derby scene.

David Wilkenfeld bought Vyjack for $100,000 last year, became a firsttime dad five months ago, purchased a Manhattan penthouse with an asking price of $16.5 million, and now has a chance to win America’s greatest horse race on May 4.

“It’s an amazing feeling, an amazing ride,” Wilkenfeld said Monday, two days after Vyjack improved to 4-for-4 by rallying to win the Gotham Stakes at Aqueduct.

“I’m enjoying every minute of this because nothing is taken for granted in this sport. Any day, anything can happen so I’m trying to be humble and enjoy it with family and friends.”

So far, so good.

Vyjack, named for Wilkenfeld’s parents Vivenne and Jack, moved into the No. 6 spot in the AP’s latest Run to the Roses list of Top 10 Derby contenders.

Shanghai Bobby remained No. 1 as he continues to train for the Florida Derby on March 30 in his final prep before heading to Churchill Downs.

Other than Vyjack moving in and Overanalyze moving out after a fifth-

place finish in the Gotham, there were no other significant changes in the Top 10.

Vyjack, a gelding, is just the second horse Wilkenfeld purchased on his own, the other was a $5,000 claimer in 2001. His love of racing comes from handicapping, where the New Yorker has already scored the ultimate victory.

In 2008, he was the single winner of a $3.3 million Pick Six bet at Santa Anita, correcting picking the winners in six consecutive races.

In 2003, he warmed up for that hit by teaming with friends to share a $1.3 million Pick Six ticket at Churchill Downs. Of course, the name he picked for his stable is ...

Pick Six. “The difference between having success in handicapping and with owning a horse is you get to share it more with friends and family,” he said, noting he had about 30 people at the Big A for the Gotham. “I look at this as more pleasurable.”

Wilkenfeld, a New Yorker, has done all right in business, too. He’s the president of PromGirl.com, the largest online seller of special occasion dresses. It has 150,000 dresses in

stock from more than 100 vendors and had sales of about $80 million last year.

Even though prom dress season runs this month and next, it’s easy to see how Wilkenfield could get sidetracked by Derby season.

“Each time he wins, it’s a little more exciting than before,” he said.

“Let’s hope he can keep it going.”

The Top 10 could undergo major changes after this weekend’s preps, the Tampa Bay Derby and the San Felipe at Santa Anita.

The 1 1-16-mile San Felipe matches two of the AP’s top seven Derby contenders — No. 3 Goldencents and No. 7 Flashback. Goldencents is trained by Doug O’Neill, who won the Derby and Preakness last year with I’ll Have Another. Unbeaten Flashback is trained by three-time Derby winner Bob Baffert.

Both colts had final workouts over the weekend — Flashback a speedy five-furlong work in 59 seconds, and Goldencents a six-furlong breeze in 1:11.60.

Verrazano, at No. 4 this week, is the likely favorite in the 1 1⁄16-mile See ROSES, Page B6

solitude and loneliness?

SOLITARY WOMAN IN OTTAWA, CANADA

DEAR ABBY

DEAR SOLITARY WOMAN: The difference between solitude and loneliness depends on how an individual handles being alone. Some people find silence threatening, while others need it to recharge their batteries.

For your son to be at ease when he’s alone, ration his television time. Read to him so he’ll learn to appreciate the entertainment books provide. Give him items to play with that foster creativity, such as clay, paints and paper, a cardboard box he can pretend is a playhouse or a spaceship. (You may find he prefers it to whatever toy the carton contained.) If he’s encouraged to use it, his imagination will flourish. #####

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are expecting our first child (a boy) later this year. How do I teach my son to enjoy solitude and his own company? Too many people today turn on the radio or TV because they can’t appreciate the quiet.

I want my little one to have loving friends, but also periods of quiet, reflective fun time by himself. My husband and I grew up with siblings, but he hates solitude while I find lots of activities to do by myself. I am never lonely. What’s the difference between

siast. He owns many weapons; I don’t know the exact number. He has been accumulating ammunition at an accelerated rate because he’s afraid that large clips will soon be banned. He drinks to excess and becomes belligerent and angry when drunk.

Last summer, during one of his moments of inebriation, he shot a gun into the air as a “surprise” to the eight family members who were sitting within two to 10 feet of him. He takes pride in the fact that his guns are kept loaded, as “what good is an unloaded gun?” On two separate occasions, I know for a fact that a loaded gun was found unsecured in his home.

When my husband and I travel with our children, ages 7, 5 and 4, to visit his family, we stay in Earl’s home. I feel the combination of alcohol and loaded, unsecure guns is not safe for my children. I have suggested to my husband that we stay in a hotel during our visits from now on.

Today’s Crossword Puzzle

Dear Readers: As spring break and summer are coming up, staying at a HOTEL OR MOTEL probably is on the agenda. Here are some very important fire-safety hints specifically for travelers, thanks to the Insurance Infor mation Institute (III).

Please read them — it could save your life.

Once settled, check where the closest exits are. The III suggests counting the number of doors from your room to the exit and memorizing that number. Always put your keys and glasses on the nightstand so you know where they are.

Don’t worry about trying to get luggage or other items if you have to leave quickly.

Smoke always rises, so if a fire breaks out, crawl on the floor. Always check the door (put your hand on it to feel for heat) before opening it to be sure there isn’t fire on the other side.

Once in the hall, go to the exit right away, and don’t use an elevator!

Walk — DON’T run — and hold on to the rail if you are using stairs. Get outside as soon as possible.

Memorizing these hints may just save your life. Thanks again to the III for the helpful information.

Defense for Exxon Mobil begins in gas additive case Roswell Daily Record

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A former Exxon Mobile engineer testified Monday that environmental hazards surrounding the gasoline additive MTBE were widely discussed in water quality and oil industry circles in the mid-1980s, contradicting the state of New Hampshire’s allegations that the oil giant hid its concerns about the product.

Barbara Mickelson was the first witness as lawyers for Exxon Mobile Corp. began presenting their defense against the state’s claim that it is owed hundreds of millions of dollars to clean up groundwater contamination caused by MTBE. Jurors had last week off after spending six weeks hearing the state’s case, and the defense is expected to take just as long presenting its side.

New Hampshire filed its product liability lawsuit a decade ago against 26 oil companies and distributers, claiming that MTBE — methyl tertiary butyl ether — is a defective product because of its propensity to travel farther and faster and contaminate larger quantities of water than gasoline without additives. The state is seeking more than $700 million to test and monitor 250,000 private wells and clean up an estimated 5,600 contaminated sites, and so far has collected more than $120 million in settlement money.

Lawyers for Exxon Mobile, the only defendant that has not settled with the

state, argue that MTBE did exactly what it was supposed to do — replace lead in gasoline and cut smog in compliance with the 1990 Clean Air Act. They opened their case by attempting to cast doubt on state witnesses who claimed to be surprised by memos Mickelson wrote describing environmental concerns about MTBE. Former Department of Environmental Services Commissioner Robert Varney testified earlier that he was shocked Exxon Mobile did not share Mickelson’s findings with the state, but Mickelson said the information was widely available at the time.

Stocks edge lower after Chinese market slides Stock trader Thomas Lyden works at the New York Stock Exchange, Monday in New York.

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks edged lower on Wall Street Monday after the Chinese government announced new steps to cool the booming housing market in the world’s second-largest economy.

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 16 points to 14,073 as of 1:42 p.m. The Standard & Poor’s 500 fell less than a point to 1,518. The Nasdaq composite was off a fraction at 3,169.

Chinese markets were dragged down by housing stocks, which fell sharply after the country’s Cabinet ordered new measures to rein in home prices. China will raise minimum down payments in areas where prices are deemed to be rising too fast and crack down on efforts to evade limits on how many properties each buyer can acquire.

U.S. stocks are still close to record levels. The Dow came within 15 points of its record close of 14,164 on Thursday before sliding back and ending the day lower.

The stock market has rallied this year on optimism that the U.S. housing market is recovering and signs that companies are hiring more. Strong corporate earnings and continuing economic stimulus from the Federal Reserve have also boosted stock prices.

Despite having already logged strong gains this year, stocks may still be able to maintain their momentum as investors move money out of bonds, Rob Lutts, chief investment officer at Cabot Money Management, said.

“It’s all about where the money is going,” Lutts said. “If the money that is sitting on the sideline, or in bonds, is moving into equities that alone is enough to create that shift.”

Judge: JC Penney could wind up with empty shelves

NEW YORK (AP) — J.C. Penney, which is struggling with big losses and steep sales declines, could face another challenge: empty shelves.

New York State Supreme Court Judge Jeffrey Oing told Penney’s attorneys on Monday that the chain took a risk by ordering towels, cookware and other products from the company that home diva Martha Stewart founded. In fact, Oing said he could force Penney to stop the products from heading to the shelves even as they come off the docks.

“That’s the risk your client took,” Oing said. “Ultimately, you guys played it out.”

The judge’s statements came during the start of the third week in a trial that pits J.C. Penney Co. against rival Macy’s Inc. over their relationship with Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia Inc. At issue is whether Macy’s has the exclusive right to sell some of Martha Stewart branded products such as cookware, bedding and bath.

Macy’s has argued that Penney breached its long-standing contract when it signed a deal in December 2011 to open Martha Stewart mini shops in most of its stores this spring. Macy’s, which has been the exclusive carrier of some Martha Stewart products including towels and pots since 2007, is trying to block Penney from selling those products. It also wants to stop Martha Stewart from providing any designs to Penney — whether or not it carries the Martha Stewart label.

Last July, Macy’s won a preliminary injunction against Martha Stewart Living that would prevent it from selling housewares and other exclusive products at Penney. In August, the judge granted permission for Penney to open Martha Stewart shops as long as the items under the exclusive contract with Macy’s are not sold in them.

But Penney took a more liberal interpretation of the preliminary ruling. Penney said it plans to sell products that are part of Macy’s exclusive agreement in May. The goods will be branded under JCP Everyday, a new brand reserved for the home diva’s merchandise.

Penney also plans to sell products like curtains and stationery that are not a part of the exclusive Macy’s contract under the label “Martha.”

Mickelson, who worked for Exxon from 1984 to 1987, described national conferences she attended along with other oil industry representatives, academic researchers, and state and federal regulators at which papers were presented about the environmental risks posed by MTBE. Though Exxon wasn’t using MTBE at the time, other oil companies were, and they gave presentations about problems they had with gasoline leaks, she said. She also testified that she had discussed MTBE with Maryland officials and the federal Environmental Protection Agency. That was part of a joint investigation with Gulf Oil after gasoline containing MTBE leaked from a Gulf tank and mingled with nonMTBE gasoline from an Exxon tank at gas stations located next to each other.

Feb. 27, according to Lipper. That’s the eighth straight week investors have put more money into stocks, the longest streak of inflows in almost two years.

The Dow has risen 7.3 percent so far this year and the S&P 500 is 6.3 percent higher, while the yield on the 10-year Treasury note remains below 2 percent.

The yield, which moves inversely to its price, rose 3 basis points to 1.87 percent Monday.

For now, stocks are likely to grind higher as investors who missed the rally at the start of the year buy stocks on any drops in the market, Scott Wren, a senior equity strategist at Wells Fargo Advisors, said.

“I’d love to see a pullback, because pullbacks are opportunities,” Wren said.

Janet Yellen, vice chair of the Federal Reserve, said Monday she does not see risks at the moment from the U.S. central bank’s low-interest rate policies.

The Fed is buying $85 billion each month in T reasury and mortgagebacked securities to keep long-term interest rates very low.

Investors’ enthusiasm is being held in check by the automatic government budget cuts that took effect Friday after President Barack Obama and Congress failed to reach a budget deal. Economists expect the cuts to hurt U.S. economic growth. Both Republicans and Democrats pledged to retroactively undo the cuts, but they have given no indication of how that process would take shape.

European markets were mixed. Crude oil fell $1.30 to $89.38 a barrel, the first time crude has traded under $90 a barrel this year. Energy stocks fell 1 percent, making energy the worst-performing industry in the S&P 500.

Edwards ends drought in Phoenix 15. Desert Academy

AVONDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Carl Edwar ds climbed from his car, stood on the door and landed a backflip near the finish line. He then hopped up on the wall in front of the grandstand, grabbed the checkered flag and waded into the crowd, trading highfives with fans.

After a miserable week at Daytona, Edwards had plenty to celebrate.

That it came at Phoenix Inter national Raceway only seemed fitting.

Coming through on his promise to dominate after his Daytona disaster, Edwards pulled away on a late restart and snapped a 70-race winless streak on Sunday, the second long dr ought he’s ended at Phoenix.

“This win feels as good or better as any win I’ve ever had,” Edwards said.

Edwar ds had a r ough 2012 season, missing the Chase for the championship. His downward spiral continued at Daytona, wher e he wr ecked five cars. On his way out of Florida, Edwards said he was ready to dominate and win at Phoenix.

He did just that, leading the final 78 laps on the 312-lap race around PIR’s odd-shaped oval in the first non-restrictor -plate race with NASCAR’s new Gen-6 car.

Edwar ds got a good push fr om defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski on the restart with two laps left and pulled away from there, winning for the first time

since Las Vegas in 2011.

After parking his car at the finish line, Edwards landed his first backflip in nearly two years and celebrated with the fans — just like he did at PIR after ending another 70-race winless streak in 2010.

“I’m sure it’s a relief for someone like Carl,” said Denny Hamlin, who finished third and had a long winless str eak end at Phoenix last year. “He’s now r elevant again, he really is and it’s a good sign for their race team for things to come.”

The big duel came behind Edwards.

Despite struggling with his car most of the day, Hamlin made a bold move on the last lap with a pass on the apr on below the dogleg. He popped up alongside Daytona 500 winner Jimmie Johnson and the two drag-raced to the finish, where Johnson edged him by a few inches.

Keselowski, who was outside Johnson during Hamlin’s move, finished fourth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. ended up fifth.

“As far down as I was, I was committed, there was nothing that I was going to do wher e I would back out,” Hamlin said. “I just hoped I would have just slid in fr ont of the 48, then you risk getting punted and spun, and your whole day you’ve worked everything for is taken away in a cor ner. I held my line and thought I really did the right thing and gave those guys room to pass me back — and one

of them did.”

The last Phoenix race, in set up November, Keselowski for his first Sprint Cup title after Johnson blew a tir e. It also featur ed quite a sideshow.

A running feud between Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon boiled over late in the race, setting off a brawl in the pits and Bowyer on a WWE-style dash to Gordon’s hauler.

The drivers tried to downplay the confrontation after arriving in the desert this week, but it’s been hard to avoid, with video of the scrap-anddash being shown all over in promos for the race and replays.

R yan Newman had the only dash this time around, running across the track and away from his car after it blew a right-front tire for the second time in 140 laps.

Inside his car, Mark Martin failed in his bid to become the oldest Sprint Cup winner.

The 54-year-old became the second-oldest driver to start on the pole in a Sprint Cup car, a few months short of Harry Gant’s mark. Martin led the first 49 laps and 26 more later on, but couldn’t sustain it in his bid to become the oldest Sprint Cup winner, finishing 21st.

“Obviously, it’s a disappointing result for a great ef fort on the weekend,” Martin said. “The car was pr etty fast, but we had multiple problems today.”
