Egyptian judges For at-risk Indian kids, there’s incarceration — and nothing else clear Mubarak With murder charges dropped, ex-president could soon be free

By David D. Kirkpatrick and Merna Thomas The New York Times

CAIRO — An Egyptian court dropped all remaining criminal charges against former President Hosni Mubarak on Saturday in a sweeping repudiation of the Arab Spring uprising that forced him from power.

The court dismissed murder charges against Mubarak in the killing of protesters demanding an end to his 30-year rule — charges that once inspired crowds to hang the president’s effigy from the lampposts of Tahrir Square in Cairo and captivated the region. His reviled security chief and a half-dozen top police officials were acquitted.

The court also acquitted Mubarak, his two sons and a wealthy business associate of corruption charges; the three others had come to personify the rampant self-dealing of Mubarak’s era as much as the president himself.

If normal legal procedures are followed, Mubarak could soon go free for the first time since his top generals removed him from power amid a popular revolt in 2011, although it was not clear whether those rules would be adhered to.

About 1,000 demonstrators gathered around Tahrir Square at night to protest the decision, but heavily armed security forces had closed off the symbolic roundabout and

by 9 p.m. the police were firing tear gas and birdshot to drive away the crowds.

More than five months after the inauguration of a military-backed strongman, President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the authorities appeared to calculate that the Egyptian public was so weary of unrest that it had lost a desire for retribution against Mubarak, or at least that they now had a firm enough grip to suppress any backlash.

“Today’s verdict indicates a very deliberate decision by the regime to continue on the path of rewriting the history that led to Mubarak’s ouster and closing the file on the Jan. 25 revolution,” said Hossam Bahgat, a journalist and human rights advocate who had cheered on that revolt and is now studying in New York.

The council of generals who took power from Mubarak had feared a public backlash too much to ever allow the former president’s release, but el-Sissi’s government felt no such compunction, Bahgat said. “They are not afraid,” he said.

“They are perfectly capable of letting him walk free, and they feel no pressure to hold him accountable.”

Mubarak, 86, who has been held at a military hospital because of frail health, appeared in court on a stretcher in sunglasses, a blue necktie and sweater. He remained stonefaced as the chief judge, Mahmoud Kamel al-Rashidi, read the verdict.

Only at the end did he allow himself a smile as his two sons, Alaa and Gamal, hugged and kissed him.

A short time later, Mubarak was photographed waving to admirers

Juvenile detention facilities for Native Americans offer few educational and rehabilitation options

By Sari Horwitz The Washington Post

PINE RIDGE INDIAN RESERVATION, S.D. — She sits alone in a cinder-block cell, an Oglala Lakota teenager with a long braid and tattoos.

For five months she has been locked up on this remote prairie reservation for drinking and disorderly conduct.

When she behaves, she can watch television. Mostly, though, she passes

the time with two books — a Bible and The Hunger Games — and her journal, in which she records the monotony of her long days. The journal, with an eagle on the cover, also holds the names of nearly a dozen friends and relatives who have died — some from drugs, violence or suicide.

“It’s so boring in here,” the 17-yearold says before coming to a realization that would have startled her just a short while ago: “I miss school

more than anything.”

For the teenager, whose name is not used because she is a juvenile, and nine other Native Americans at a facility for minors here, there is no schooling, no vocational opportunity and no counseling. There is simply detention.

Their situation is emblematic of a juvenile justice system that is fundamentally broken when it comes to Native American youths. Around the country, juveniles on reservations are left to languish in cash-strapped facilities that cannot afford to provide the

A GIFT OF HOME With help from a local nurse and others, terminally ill man returns to his family in Guatemala

By Anne Constable The New Mexican

L

uis Alberto Juarez came to Santa Fe about five years ago on a work visa. Like many immigrants from Latin America, he wanted to earn money to support his family back in Antigua, Guatemala, where there are few jobs.

Then he became terminally ill.

His doctors urged him to go home and spend his final days with his wife and family, including a 5-yearold son he had never seen. But Juarez could not afford the airfare and was too frail to travel alone. He told his caregivers he would rather keep working to help his loved ones.

Earlier this month, Juarez finally made it home, thanks to a group of his caregivers and strangers who came together to help. They enlisted the assistance of a local foundation to provide the resources he needed, and a nurse volunteered to travel with him, an experience she says was a life-changing blessing.

Doctors here only expect him to live for a month or so, but some in his family are hoping for a miracle.

For Juarez, 33, the journey was bittersweet, taking him from the United States, which he loved, to the tearful embrace of a family he did not want to burden with his illness but also longed to see again.

And for nurse Paulina Chavez Scanland, the experience was lifechanging. “I was honored,” she said.

“I was humbled.”

The first place Juarez went when he came to the U.S. was New York, but he quickly realized that was not the place for him. Then someone told him about Santa Fe, and he moved here, alone. He made friends, found work doing labor such as landscaping and roofing. He saved money, got his own place to live, and began to send money back to his wife and children.

After three years, Juarez was diagnosed with colon cancer. He was in and out of the hospital for surgery and chemotherapy. Even as his condition and his survival prospects deteriorated, he continued trying to work.

Juarez’s family applied to come to Santa Fe to help him out, but they were denied visas. Finally, one

.S. Department of Energy officials say they have conducted numerous safety assessments of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad since a nuclear waste drum burst there Feb. 14. But none of those assessments has been made public, even as the plant’s operators send growing numbers of workers back into the nation’s only underground nuclear waste repository.

Officials with the Energy Department and Nuclear Waste Partnership, the private consortium that operates the repository, say they are taking abundant precautions to ensure their workers and the public are safe.

But emails and documents obtained

that were in the same chamber as the drum that ruptured. More recent WIPP safety assessments have not been released, even to the union representing more than 300 WIPP workers.

“We don’t know how safe WIPP is, even in the short run of the current underground activities,” Don Hancock, an analyst with the Southwest Research and Information Center, which closely monitors WIPP, said after reviewing the documents.

The Feb. 14 accident happened when a chemical reaction inside the drum caused it to rupture. Radiation leaked into the air, and temperatures in the underground chamber peaked at nearly 1,600 degrees. More than 20 workers were exposed to what the Energy Department has described as

While federal officials have yet to isolate what sparked the reaction, The New Mexican reported this month that workers at Los Alamos National Laboratory, where the drum originated, improperly used acid neutralizers and organic kitty litter that created a volatile combination when mixed with highly acidic nitrate salts in the waste.

One internal lab report described the mix as similar to plastic explosives.

Lab officials say that exact combination of ingredients was isolated to one drum. And after “exhaustive scientific testing,” officials say they have dismissed the hypothesis that the explosive nature of the ingredients caused the reaction.

But even the organic kitty litter — which the lab began using regularly in

NATION&WORLD In brief

Cinema companies refocus to attract younger audiences and boost falling ticket revenue

Taliban steps up attacks in Kabul KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban insurgents have intensified their attacks on this besieged capital with a flurry of brazen bombings and afternoon raids targeting foreigners and Afghans, bringing the war into this city in a way not seen in any other year since the radical Islamists were ousted from power.

The latest assault occurred Saturday, when three militants clutching guns and grenades, including one who wore an explosives-packed vest, stormed a compound inhabited by foreigners in the middle-class Karte-e-Saay enclave. In a frenzy of explosions and gunfire, two foreigners were killed and seven were taken prisoner, said Deputy Interior Minister Mohammad Ayub Salangi. All of the attackers died in clashes with Afghan security forces, and the hostages were eventually freed.

The dramatic increase in violence in Kabul, arguably the most heavily defended city in the nation, indicates the resilience of the Taliban, despite pronouncements by Afghan, U.S. and NATO officials that the insurgency has been weakened.

As the annual fighting season nears an end in rugged, increasingly snow-covered mountain areas, the capital has become the new focal point of the conflict.

Rajoy won’t talk on Spain divide MADRID — Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said he won’t engage in negotiations with Catalonia’s regional president Artur Mas that would put the country’s integrity at risk.

“I have never negotiated, and neither will I, about Spaniards’ equality, neither on their right to decide what their country should be,” Rajoy said Saturday at a People’s Party conference in Barcelona, his first visit to Catalonia in six months.

The prime minister is trying to repel a surge in support for independence in Spain’s largest regional economy as Mas rides a wave of popularity after delivering Catalans an illegal Nov. 9 ballot on independence in defiance of the government and the Constitutional Court. The extent of Rajoy’s agenda has disappointed some Spanish unionist supporters.

“It would be good if he really took a ride across Catalonia and talked to people, especially those people who have stopped feeling Spanish,” said Jose Ramon Bosch, chairman of Societat Civil Catalana, a civil society group campaigning to stay with Spain. “He is the prime minister of all Spaniards, including those who voted on Nov. 9.”

Mass-produced flying car almost ready for takeoff Vehicle is capable of reaching 70 mph on road, 100 mph in air

By Josh Dean Bloomberg News

he first time Carl Dietrich brought his flying-car concept to the Experimental Aircraft Association’s annual AirVenture gathering in Oshkosh, Wis., he had only a video to show the aviation geeks who wandered by his modest stall. The following year, he brought the mock-up of a wing. Six years later, in July 2013, he was finally ready to fly the prototype.

As the announcer who introduced the Terrafugia Transition put it: “Ladies and gentlemen, this is one of the most incredible things we’ve seen, ever, here at Oshkosh. Twenty-five minutes ago, this was a street-legal automobile. Now, it’s in the air.”

Pilot Phil Mateer buzzed the crowd while the announcer patched into his cockpit microphone to ask him how it felt up there. “I’m in a car looking down on traffic,” Mateer replied. “And it flies real nice.”

The promise of a mass-produced flying car has taunted aviation enthusiasts for generations.

But Dietrich is today closer than anyone since pilot Moulton Taylor’s ill-fated attempt to make the Federal Aviation Administration-approved Aerocar in the 1950s.

“What Carl and his team are doing is a re-creation of that same dream, with another lifetime’s worth of technology, computing, crashworthiness and aerodynamic modeling,” says Jake Schultz, a technical analyst at Boeing and author of A Drive in the Clouds: The Story of the Aerocar.

More than a hundred people have paid deposits of $10,000 each for the Transition, which will be capable of 70 miles per hour on the road and 100 mph in the sky when it finally comes to market sometime within the next three years.

Dietrich is refining details on the third-generation prototype of his $279,000 vehicle before attempting certification by both the FAA, which regulates planes, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which oversees cars.

A year after that triumphant flight in Oshkosh, Dietrich, 37, sits in his sparsely decorated office at Terrafugia’s modest headquarters behind

a Best Western in Woburn, Mass. He says he first proposed a flying car as a doctoral candidate in aeronautical engineering at the nearby Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he partnered with a pair of Sloan School of Management students and two other engineers (including the woman who’s now his wife) to win second place in the 2006 MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition.

That same year, Dietrich also won a $30,000 Lemelson-MIT National Collegiate Student Prize, part of which he put toward that initial trip to Oshkosh, where he met his first angel investors and even signed up prospective buyers.

“We had seven people write us checks for a product that didn’t even exist yet,” Dietrich recalls. “That’s a pretty powerful indicator that people really want this.”

“Personal aviation is basically a fun, expensive hobby,” Dietrich says. “My goal is to actually make it useful.”

Critics say flying cars are unlikely to be both great airplanes and great automobiles. But that misses the point, says Dietrich, who explains the Transition is intended to expand the definition of an airplane, solving a number of persistent problems in the process.

First and foremost is that small planes are virtually useless in inclement weather. If a storm rolls in while you’re flying the Transition, on the other hand, you can simply land at many of the 5,000-plus airports in the United States alone, push a button to fold up the wings and hit the road until conditions improve. At home, you can park it on the street or in the typical suburban garage. And it runs on regular unleaded gas, which is cheaper and cleaner than aviation fuel and available at your local service station.

“You’re getting comparable gas mileage to your road car, but you’re going 100 miles per hour over all the traffic,” Dietrich says.

Dietrich rocks back in his chair. “It can be frustrating,” he says of the endless refinements and the pending approvals process, “but I wouldn’t be doing this if I didn’t think we had the potential to inspire a trillion-dollar industry.”

The way he sees it, flying cars are inevitable, and once the first one proves its way in the world, others will follow. Already, he’s at work on a semiautonomous, vertical-takeoff model.

“I wouldn’t waste my time if I didn’t think we could change the world,” he says.

LOS ANGELES — Having tried 3-D films, earsplitting sound systems and even alcohol sales in pursuit of younger moviegoers, some theater chains are now installing undulating seats, scent machines and 270-degree screens.

For an $8 premium, a Regal theater can even spray patrons with water and pump scents (burning rubber, gun powder) into the auditorium. Can’t cope with two hours away from your smartphone? One theater company has found success with instant on-screen messaging — the texted comments pop up next to the action.

“When I step back and think about what will get people off a couch, in a car, down the road and into a theater, the answer is not postage stamp-sized screens and old seats,” said Gerardo I. Lopez, the chief executive of AMC Entertainment, the No. 2 chain in the United States. “Why would they bother? What the hell, stay in the house.”

If Lopez sounds frustrated, he is. Ticket revenue in North America has fallen 4 percent this year compared to the same period in 2013, according to box office analysts, and attendance is equally down. The busy Thanksgiving and Christmas moviegoing periods are not expected to make up the ground.

The decline has hammered the biggest theater companies, with profit at both AMC and Regal Entertainment, the No. 1 chain, plunging more than 50 percent through the first nine months of this year, compared to the same period a year earlier.

But what really has the exhibition industry unnerved are two statistics released in the spring by the Motion Picture Association of America. Last year, despite a glut of extravagant action movies, the number of frequent moviegoers ages 18 to 24 dropped 17 percent, compared to a year earlier; the 12-to-17 age bracket dropped 13 percent.

The undiscerning young ticket buyers Hollywood has long counted on to turn out weekend after weekend are suddenly discerning. Or they are at least busying themselves with video games, living room wide-screen televisions and devices that can pull up thousands of movies with a couple of clicks. For many teenagers, the idea of focusing on a single screen for an extended stretch is anathema.

“The traditional moviegoing experience is at odds with the rest of their lives,” said Ben Carlson, president of Fizziology, a consultancy that focuses on entertainment and social media.

To combat the problem, theater chains seem increasingly open to trying just about anything. Regal, for instance, in June began offering something called 4DX in downtown Los Angeles. More than 100 seats buck and dip in close synchronization with the action on the screen. Compressed air blasts from headrests to simulate flying bullets. Fans provide a gentle wind effect.

For many cinephiles, this is sacrilege. Even some Hollywood executives joke about bringing motionsickness bags and raincoats.

But the target audience — men 18 to 24 — seems to enjoy it, with screenings often selling out, according to studio distribution managers. “It’s way cooler than it sounds,” said David Ramirez, 25, as he left a crowded 4DX screening of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 last weekend.

Newfangled multiplex ideas come and go all the time. Peter Jackson in 2012 promised to revolutionize moviegoing by exhibiting his Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in a faster, hyper-realistic 48 frames per second. Ticket buyers thought otherwise. The 3-D boom of recent years has also waned.

Going back further, Smell-o-Vision and AromaRama — 1960s-era attempts by exhibitors to compete with the surging popularity of television — both quickly fizzled.

But the current move toward interactivity and immersion is unlikely to go away entirely, analysts say, in part because of a generational shift.

Ferguson lesson: Police can better calm situations

By Gene Johnson and Eric Tucker

Officer who shot unarmed teen submits resignation

The Associated Press

SEATTLE — The grand jury that declined to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson was focused on whether he might have acted in selfdefense when he shot and killed unarmed, 18-year-old Michael Brown.

But the case raises another question: Could Wilson have avoided getting into a spot where he had to make that splitsecond, life-or-death decision?

Departments around the country have in recent years stepped up their training in “de-escalation” — the art of defusing a tense situation with a word or a gesture instead of being confrontational or reaching for a weapon.

Proponents, including the Justice Department, say the approach can improve trust and understanding between police and residents, curtail the unnecessary use of force and improve the safety of officers and civil-

The white police officer cleared last week by a grand jury in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager has resigned from the Police Department in Ferguson, Mo., his attorney said Saturday night.

The officer, Darren Wilson, who began his police career in a nearby suburb in 2009, submitted a resignation letter, which cites concerns

ians alike.

“We haven’t taught officers to just walk away,” said Cambridge, Mass., Police Commissioner Robert Haas.

Haas and other law enforcement officials said they didn’t want to second-guess Wilson’s actions because they weren’t in his shoes at the time of the Aug. 9 shooting.

But, many said, the case should accelerate a national discussion about police culture and the potential for broader training in de-escalation, which is considered especially important in dealing with people in mental

Scores of Russian gays seek asylum in U.S.

By David Crary The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Had he stayed in Russia, Andrew Mironov would be settling in to a stable job with an oil company, likely with a newly awarded doctoral degree in electrical engineering.

Instead, he faces an uncertain future in New York City as one of scores of Russian gays seeking asylum in the United States because of hostility and harassment in their homeland.

“In Russia, I would have gotten my Ph.D. this fall, had a job and health insurance,” said Mironov, 25. “Now, here, I’m nobody.”

Yet the sacrifices have been worth it, Mironov says, given the fears that lingered after he was severely beaten by several assailants in the lobby of a gay bar in his home city of Samara.

“Which is more important, happiness or success?” he asked over coffee in midtown Manhattan. “I would say happiness. I feel no fear here.”

There are no firm statistics on the number of gay Russian asylum seekers; U.S. government agencies that handle applications do not report such details. However, the Department of Home-

land Security’s latest figures show that overall applications for asylum by Russians totaled 969 in the 2014 fiscal year, up 34 percent from 2012.

The increase is due in part to the worsening anti-gay climate in Russia, according to Immigration Equality, a New York-based organization which provides legal services for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender immigrants.

The organization says the number of inquiries it received from gay Russians seeking U.S. asylum has risen from 68 in 2012 to 127 in 2013 and 161 through Oct. 30 of this year.

During that period, gay-rights gatherings in Russia were frequently targeted by assailants, and the parliament passed a law targeting “gay propaganda” that was widely viewed as a means of deterring gay activism. Mironov said of that law, “It helped homophobic people feel the government is on their side.”

To get an application approved, an asylum seeker must present a convincing case that he or she has a “well-founded fear of persecution” in their home country. Russia’s anti-gay policies and its record of violence are factors that could strengthen a case.

about the safety of other police officers and residents here, as among his reasons, according to Neil J. Bruntrager, the attorney. In the letter, which was published in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, he also said he hoped that his resignation would “allow the community to heal.”

health or drug-related crises.

In Missouri this month, a federal law enforcement team held training with St. Louis-area police, including top commanders from Ferguson, on how unintentional bias affects police work. That approach goes handin-hand with de-escalation.

“In every police encounter, the officer and the civilian bring with them and see the world through their experiences. The more these views diverge, the more they immediately see the other as a threat,” said Jenny Durkan, the former U.S. attorney in Seattle who led the effort

Like Wilson, the officer wasn’t charged criminally because of the high bar for such prosecutions against police, but the case helped spur the federal civil rights investigation of the department. A consent decree overhauled the department’s training, putting a premium on de-escalation and bias-free policing.

In practice, de-escalation can take many forms, said Seattle police spokesman Sean Whitcomb. Sometimes it means that multiple officers respond rather than one, because the larger presence can make excitable subjects realize they’re outnumbered.

to curb excessive uses of force by city police.

In a July report on the Newark, N.J., department, the Justice Department faulted a “pattern and practice of taking immedi-

ate offensive action” rather than acting within the bounds of the Constitution and displaying the “thick skin and patience” needed for the job.

In Seattle the Justice Department blasted police for too quickly using flashlights, batons or stun guns as weapons when force could have been avoided.

In Seattle in 2010, an officer killed a Native American woodcarver who had crossed the street while holding a small knife and a block of wood. The officer got out of his car, and when the carver — who turned out to be hard of hearing — didn’t immediately drop the tool as ordered, he was shot.

Home: Nurse says trip ‘life-changing’ Continued from Page A-1 of his brothers was able to get here to assist him.

Eventually, his caregivers at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center broached the idea of him going home to be with his family at the end of his life.

They talked to him about his wishes and his goals for the time remaining.

“It took a lot of searching for him to make the decision. It wasn’t easy,” said Dr. Douglas Egli, his physician.

“He liked living here. He was making money for his family. Even when he was getting really sick, he was trying to work. The money was all going home.”

Egli felt Juarez could make it home, but he couldn’t travel alone and couldn’t afford the airfare.

That’s where Maureen “Mo” Gensheer, then the clinical manager of the hospital’s in-patient oncology unit, stepped in. She approached the St. Vincent Hospital Foundation, which, in addition to helping raise funds for technology, education, buildings and programs like the one that helps hospital staff buy housing through Homewise, also aids patients who can’t afford medications and other care.

“When patients come with specific needs, we see if we can’t possibly make that happen. This was pretty easy,” said Robert Glick, president and CEO of the foundation.

Glick didn’t know anything about Juarez except that he had been “diagnosed with end-stage cancer and needed to get back to die surrounded by family. Frankly, that was all I needed.

This is a good use for funds and has made a profound difference in someone’s life. And it’s not a lot money.”

The foundation agreed to buy a one-way ticket for Juarez from Albuquerque to Guatemala City and a round-trip ticket for the nurse who would accompany him. She would help him manage his colostomy bag and catheter. The foundation also agreed to pay for his medications for about one

month, and Gensheer gave him a backpack to carry them.

Finding the willing nurse who was fluent in Spanish and had a passport didn’t take long, either. Scanland, 51, who had learned Spanish from her parents growing up in Estancia, heard about the need and volunteered to go.

“I would have gone in a heartbeat,” Gensheer said. “But [Scanland’s] Spanish is like a song.”

After Juarez was stabilized and discharged, Scanland went to visit him twice at his home. “He was [still] very torn about going back home. He didn’t want to burden his family,” she said.

He also realized that when he had left Guatemala, he was a healthy young man, and now he was “thin and frail,” she said. He feared his condition might shock his family.

“I explained to him that this was a gift [the airline tickets] and he had a decision to make,” Scanland said. “I said, this was ‘totally up to you.’ At the end of the visit, he said, ‘I want to go home.’ ” There was one other hurdle. Juarez’s visa and passport had expired during his medical treatment, Gensheer said, although he had a valid driver’s license.

She helped arrange for travel documents from the Guatemalan consulate in Phoenix.

She, too, realized that he had mixed feelings about going home. “It was a very tough decision for him, knowing he was going to die. He knew the care he would get here. He wasn’t so sure about the care he would get there. It came down to what was in his heart,” she said.

For his caregivers, his departure was also upsetting. “It was really tough to say goodbye. Luis is just a good soul, one of those patients we’re never going to forget,” Egli said. “I’m just hoping that whatever time he has, he enjoys the fullest with his little boys.”

On Nov. 2, the day before they were scheduled to leave, Scanland went to visit Juarez at his house. He was packed.

He had three large suitcases and lots of carry-on luggage filled with clothes, shoes and toys for the children he had bought that morning at Wal-Mart.

Scanland told her boyfriend, Tom Nordstrand, that she was worried about whether she could look after Juarez alone because he was so weak.

On the spot, Nordstrand decided to buy his own ticket and come with her.

At the airport, Scanland said, Transportation Security Administration employees searched Juarez carefully because he didn’t have regular documents. She said she had to make sure they weren’t patting him too closely.

Before the plane took off for Houston, she said, “He cried and he cried, and I cried.”

On the plane, Juarez took pictures out the window and told her his story in what she described as “eloquent” Spanish. Taking a book she had brought along, he turned to a blank page and told her that when he first landed in Albuquerque, his life was as blank as the page. Then he flipped it over to a page full of words and told her, “I leave this beautiful state and my life is filled like this page with words.”

He said he would miss Frito pies and green chile from Northern New Mexico.

The long trip was hard, because of chronic lower back pain. But there was

a smile on his face when they arrived in Guatemala City, where a dozen members of his family were waiting on the other side of customs, including his wife, Patricia Lopez de Juarez, his grandmother, parents, in-laws and sons: David, 13, John, 10, and Luis, 5. “The reunion was absolutely amazing,” Scanland said. “I was taken away with the fact that when his father saw him, he cried.”

The family drove Juarez to their home in Antigua, about 45 minutes away. Scanland was scheduled to spend the night in a hotel and fly back to New Mexico the next day, but she said she “didn’t feel right not seeing him through a little more.”

The following day, she drove out to Antigua and visited the family in their little cement house with a courtyard where the family keeps about 10 caged ducks. When she saw the room he would sleep in, she worried whether he would be comfortable enough and went out and bought him a bed, new sheets and a down comforter, as well as toys and clothes for the kids.

She and Nordstrand came back the

Nothing: Many juveniles sent to distant facilities Continued from Page A-1 kind of rehabilitative services afforded to most young offenders in the United States. Because some reservations have no juvenile detention centers, offenders often are shipped to facilities far from their homes, compounding the isolation of incarceration.

A jurisdictional legal maze in Indian Country further complicates matters.

Indian reservations are sovereign nations. So when juveniles commit minor crimes, their cases are usually handled by the tribes. But when they commit a serious felony, their cases are generally handled by federal prosecutors, and they can be sent to either federal prison or a federal facility.

In the federal system, there is no juvenile division, and no court judges, rehabilitation facilities or probation system for juveniles. From 1999 through 2008, as many as 60 percent of juveniles in federal custody were American Indians, according to a commission that last year recommended that tribes be given full jurisdiction over Indian children and be released from “dysfunctional federal and state controls.”

Advocates say Native American youths have essentially been forgotten.

“There is no systemic program to educate kids or provide services for them in detention centers,” said Troy Eid, the chairman of the Indian Law and Order Commission and a former U.S. attorney for Colorado. “They don’t have computer instruction. They don’t have classrooms. They have nothing, and their services are lacking because Congress hasn’t appropriated the funding. They just sit in a cell all day.”

Pine Ridge’s attorney general, Tatewin Means, the daughter of the late American Indian Movement leader Russell Means, works out of a run-down building with a broken toilet and no heat or air conditioning.

Means said there is no funding for behavioral health services for children who have been sexually or physically abused. And when, as teenagers, some get caught up in the juvenile justice system, the tribe has few resources to help them. “For the last two years, we have applied for federal grants for public safety and child protection and were absolutely shut out,” she said.

‘No place to be’ The Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota is larger than the state of Delaware, covering more than 2.7 million acres of starkly beautiful, windswept Plains grasses and Badlands buttes.

But the tribal communities here are racked by 87 percent unemployment and crippling poverty. Located within Pine Ridge, Shannon County has one of the highest numbers of people living below the poverty line in the nation.

Families live in rotting and overcrowded public housing.

In an environment plagued by

sexual assault, domestic violence and substance abuse, it is a struggle to protect children, law enforcement officials say. Many young people turn to drugs or otherwise run afoul of the law.

Heather Thompson, a former assistant U.S. attorney in South Dakota who prosecuted many cases from Pine Ridge, put it bluntly: “There is no place for our kids to get help.”

The one Boys and Girls Clubs is often closed because of a lack of funding. The nearest population center, Rapid City, with a population of about 70,000, is more than 100 miles away.

Although Pine Ridge is technically a “dry” reservation, just over the line in Nebraska is the tiny town of Whiteclay, which is lined with stores that sell alcohol to Pine Ridge residents; day and night, they can be found leaning against buildings or lying on the ground intoxicated.

Tony Ghost-Red Feather, 18, said he grew up surrounded by alcoholism and violence. He said that he was bullied at school and that some of his friends and relatives ended up in the juvenile detention center. He considered suicide on two occasions.

The only things stopping him were his younger siblings, whom he was mostly responsible for raising.

“I had a knife in my hand,” he said, recalling one episode. “I was sitting in the dark outside and crying. I was going to either slit my wrists or go at my throat or my stomach.”

A 17-year-old on the reservation said she, like Ghost-Red Feather, grew up in the shadow of alcoholics and domestic violence. She started cutting herself when she was 15.

Sometimes she uses a cigarette lighter to burn her arms.

“I do it to feel the pain,” she said.

“Burning takes everything off my mind.”

On four different occasions, she was sent to the juvenile detention center for offenses including disorderly conduct and running away, a criminal violation. It was, she said, “no place to be.”

“You’re mainly just looking at cement walls,” she said. “There were no teachers or counselors. They woke us up to take showers and clean up.

Then, we were just sitting there.”

Removing offenders Detention facilities explicitly for Native American youths are operated by an amalgam of entities.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs runs three of the 23 juvenile detention centers in Indian Country. Fourteen of the facilities are run by tribes but are overseen and funded in part by the BIA. The remaining six are funded and run by tribes.

Several of the facilities operated by the BIA, an agency within the Interior Department, have been beset by problems. A facility in Lower Brule, S.D., has been closed for a year because of

structural problems. On Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota, a center constructed using more than $7 million in Justice Department and tribal funds has been empty for more than four years because it was not built to code. The new building will continue to be run by the BIA when it opens.

Dozens of facilities that had been built are vacant or seriously underutilized because operating funds haven’t been provided, according to a panel of Indian-country experts that presented a report last week to Attorney General Eric Holder.

Juveniles arrested on those reservations have to be sent to other reservations, sometimes hundreds of miles away.

Much of the criticism of the juvenile justice system for Native Americans is centered on the removal of young offenders from their communities, a practice that critics say makes it even more difficult to rehabilitate them.

The BIA acknowledges the situation presents challenges for families but said there are not always alternatives.

“If we had the ability to have a fully staffed juvenile detention facility at every reservation, that would be absolutely the best way to do it,” said Darren Cruzan, the director of the BIA’s Office of Justice Services. “But we know that is unrealistic based on the ability to build safe juvenile detention facilities and staff them appropriately.”

A member of the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, Cruzan said the BIA is taking steps to try to improve services for juveniles in Indian Country. But he stressed the difficulty of developing education programs, saying that “a lot of the juveniles that we’re getting are kids who aren’t in school or have dropped out of school.”

Tribal members who testified last year before the Indian Law and Order Commission, a congressionally mandated panel, said that detention facilities on reservations lacked adequate education programs because there was no funding. The BIA, however, disputes that criticism.

“I hear the same concerns, that it’s not in there and it’s not happening,” Cruzan said when asked about criticism that there are no education programs in some facilities. “But when I hear those things I get with our chief of corrections. The conversation is, ‘Hey, just assure me that we have education in these facilities.’ And the answer is always, ‘Yes, we do.’ ” The Kiyuksa O’Tipi Reintegration Center, Pine Ridge’s juvenile detention center, is funded and overseen by the BIA but operated by the tribe. A BIA document indicates that there is an education program. Inside, there is a classroom with desks and computers.

However, there are no teachers, no counselors and no academic programs.

“Funding ran out two years ago,” one official at the detention center said.

Striving to rehabilitate About an hour and a half drive across the northern Great Plains is a juvenile detention facility for Native Americans that looks and feels altogether different.

Unlike in Pine Ridge and other reservations, there is no barbed wire surrounding the center. Inside, students learn to carve in a woodshop, work out in a gymnasium and participate in “smudging,” a ceremony of burning sage and cedar to cleanse a person and keep away negative spirits and energy.

The Wanbli Wiconi Tipi Youth Wellness and Renewal Center, on the Rosebud Reservation, houses about

next day with a cake for Patricia’s birthday. (Juarez had bought his wife roses.)

As she was getting ready to leave after the celebration, Patricia’s mother asked Scanland if her son-in-law was going to die. “They thought a miracle would save him,” Scanland said.

Scanland urged her to talk to Juarez himself. But the mother-in-law replied, “Based on your answers, we don’t have to.”

“Her mother told Patty he was in a grave situation,” Scanland said.

Before leaving, Scanland said she talked privately with Juarez, urging him to put his feet up and take lots of naps. She told his family not to hold back on the pain medications.

For Scanland, who had worked in the corporate world before becoming a caregiver, the trip was a blessing.

“Many nurses never have the opportunity to take a dying patient back to his own country. To be part of that has been life-changing,” she said.

250 teenagers each year and is run by Miskoo Petite, who grew up in the community.

“We are trying to integrate traditional Lakota cultural information, and rehabilitate our youth by bridging the gaps they might have with their identities and who they are,” he said.

Unlike other juvenile centers, where a majority of the building is used for detention, 70 percent of the space is used for programs.

“I have had juveniles tell me directly that they would rather be in the juvenile detention center in Rosebud than at home,” said former Rosebud Attorney General Mato Standing High.

Like Pine Ridge, Rosebud — home to an estimated 25,000 people living on about 900,000 acres of tribal land — is overwhelmed by dire poverty. Over a two-year period, 47 teenagers committed suicide on the reservation, Petite said. At least two children a day are victims of a crime or exposed to abuse and neglect, school violence or domestic violence, according to Standing High.

For all its problems, however, the juvenile detention center is striving to rehabilitate young offenders. Outside sits a traditional sweat lodge, a domeshaped hut, for them to experience the ceremony of purification and prayer.

The juveniles attend classes and are taken on field trips to places like the Wounded Knee memorial on Pine Ridge, where they learn more about their history and the day in December 1890 when the U.S. Cavalry massacred an estimated 300 men, women and children of the Great Sioux Nation.

(Many on the reservation prefer to refer to themselves as Lakota rather than Sioux, a term meaning “little snake” that they say was given to them by their enemies.)

“It’s jail, but they give you a chance to do things here — go to the gym, play ball, learn Lakota [the language] and go to school every day,” said one teenager who said he had been housed in three other juvenile detention centers.

Law enforcement officials credit Petite with running a facility that is considered among the most progressive in Indian country. At the same time, U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson of South Dakota is working closely with the tribes to keep Rosebud juveniles out of the federal system whenever possible and allow them to be sentenced in tribal court.

“This is a really poor, very remote reservation,” said Eid, the chairman of the Indian Law and Order Commission. “But when the tribes have some control over their systems, they don’t warehouse kids. They make sure there’s education, including for the ones who misbehave.”

Petite, however, depends on grants from the BIA and the Justice Department to operate his programs. And as with many health, education and law enforcement programs throughout Indian Country, tribes have to compete against one another for funding.

Every couple of years they have to reapply to keep programs running — or they end. Petite will soon lose his clinical psychologist because the federal grant funding her has ended.

Rashidi, who led a panel of three judges, did not elaborate from the bench on their reasoning, pointing instead to a 280-page summary of their 1,340-page explanation of the case.

He insisted that the ruling had “nothing to do with politics.” He acknowledged the “feebleness” and corruption of Mubarak’s later years in power, and he lauded the rallying cry of the 2011 revolution — bread, freedom and social justice.

But at other times he sounded sympathetic to the former president. “To rule for or against him after he has become old will be left to history and the Judge of Judges,” he said.

“When you get temperatures that high, it would have just melted them,” he said.

The relationship between Energy Department leaders at WIPP and the union has been strong in recent years, but Fuentes said the union frequently butts heads with Nuclear Waste Partnership over safety issues.

Beyond the threat of a dramatic event in the underground, Hancock said environmental hazards from the radiation leak and others inherent with WIPP’s mission pose a danger to workers because they aren’t adequately monitored.

He questions the reliability of radiation measurements outside the mine, which have been characterized by the Energy Department as below levels that would negatively affect humans.

Readings from New Mexico State University’s Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center tend to reflect higher levels of radiation than those collected by the Energy Department.

The New Mexico Environment Department, which Hancock said collected the most reliable radiation data for a decade preceding the leak, was not monitoring the WIPP exterior at the time of the February release.

“That’s a colossal failure,” Hancock said.

Jim Winchester, a spokesman for the Environment Department, which holds permitting authority over WIPP, said the radiation readings at WIPP were not being monitored in February because of a staffing vacancy. However, Energy Department and Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center radiation measurements at the time of the leak are on file with the Environment Department.

After the Feb. 14 leak, the Carlsbad Environmental Monitoring and Research Center reported finding concentrations of americium and plutonium unprecedented in WIPP emissions since the repository opened in 1999. The readings came from a monitoring station more than a half-mile from WIPP. But the research center’s report categorized its findings as “very low compared to the [Environmental Protection Agency] actionable limit.”

“Any amount of radiation is of concern,” Hancock said.

He also is concerned that workers inside the mine could be exposed to potentially cancer-causing volatile organic compounds that aren’t being monitored by WIPP. Environ-

ment Department spokeswoman Jill Turner confirmed that monitoring of volatile organic compounds, a condition of WIPP’s permit from the state, has not been taking place since Feb. 14 because of the limited access to contaminated underground areas.

“WIPP is expected to com-

ply with the [volatile organic compound] monitoring requirements of the permit once it is safe for their workers to resume normal operations,” Turner said.

But Hancock pointed out that workers already are entering the unmonitored areas of the underground and have been for months, exposing themselves to unknown levels of volatile organic compounds, such as carbon tetrachloride, which the EPA has designated a “probable human carcinogen” that negatively affects the liver, kidneys and central nervous system.

“They have no intention of starting to do the volatile organic compound monitoring in the underground at least until January of 2016,” Hancock said. “They fully intend to keep sending workers into the underground with no intention of following this requirement. It’s in violation of the permit, and the Environment Department should say so.”

Hancock wants WIPP leaders to start medically monitoring workers on a regular basis

to determine if they’re being exposed to conditions that are dangerous to their health. And while he says he’s frustrated with the Environment Department’s decisions in the recent past, Hancock said he’s more concerned about the steps it will take next, including potential fines and imposing strict monitoring conditions on the WIPP permit before allowing it to reopen.

The union at WIPP also favors medically testing workers for contamination more frequently than the annual tests currently conducted. But the union so far hasn’t gotten a commitment from Nuclear Waste Partnership to conduct that testing, Fuentes said.

“I’d hope at some point we’d do some testing that revolves around the specific waste that we now know is in those drums,” he said, “because some of my members still don’t feel comfortable going into the underground.”

White House accused of attempting to micromanage, centralize decision-making

By Julie Pace and Robert Burns The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — On a trip to Afghanistan during President Barack Obama’s first term, Defense Secretary Robert Gates was stunned to find a telephone line at the military’s special operations headquarters that linked directly back to a top White House national security official.

“I had them tear it out while I was standing there,” Gates said earlier this month as he recounted his discovery. “I told the commanders, ‘If you get a call from the White House, you

of the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. The president has authorized airstrikes in both countries and sent about 3,000 U.S. troops to train and assist Iraqi security forces.

He has resisted sending American troops into ground combat and has insisted the military campaign is not designed to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad, whose 3½ year assault on civilians helped create the chaos that allowed the Islamic State to thrive.

The foreign policy landscape looks far different from what Obama envisioned when he ran for the White House and pledged to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Obama has been seen in the Pentagon as being overly

suspicious of the military and its inclination to use force to address problems. To some in the Pentagon, the president’s approach to the military seems particularly cool and detached when compared with that of his predecessor, Republican George W. Bush, who was more eager to embrace the military and accept its judgments.

Stephen Biddle, an occasional adviser to U.S. combat commanders, said the White House has fallen victim to “group think” and is distrustful of advice or perspectives that challenge its own.

“That’s a bad policy development design,” said Biddle, a political science professor at George Washington University’s Elliott School of Interna-

tional Affairs.

At the Pentagon, senior officials say there is growing frustration with a lack of policy direction and clarity from the White House that has hampered the military’s ability to quickly respond to fast-moving events around the world. Policy recommendations from the Pentagon are often discussed exhaustively in White House meetings that can bog down, delaying decisions and sometimes resulting in conclusions that remain vague.

Over the past year, officials said the Pentagon leadership was particularly baffled by the White House’s slow deliberations on Russia’s moves against Ukraine and the rise of Islamic State militants.

Drivers As retailer tactics evolve, holiday shoppers adapt sales down on stuck at Store Black Friday, up on Mexico Thanksgiving Day college

By Sarah Halzack

The Washington Post

Activists seize buses to go to protest sites

By Jacobo G. Garcia and Mark Stevenson

Until recently, Black Friday was the shot from the starting gun in retailers’ sprint for holiday shopping supremacy. But many of the deals that shoppers saw Friday morning were hardly the one-time flash sales that once ruled the day.

The “30 percent off full-price styles” offer that J. Crew was touting? It’s been available since Wednesday. The $28.88 price tag on the Frozen doll at WalMart? The retailer made that price cut on Nov. 1. Wishing you had ponied up for the Keurig K45 coffee maker at Macy’s?

Not to worry — the $99 sale price will last until Monday.

Black Friday promotions gradually inched into Thanksgiving Day, but this year the spirit of holiday discounting has metastasized into a weekslong cascade of promotions

and offers that retailers believe is their best chance to get shoppers to spend.

“It won’t have the impact that it’s had in the past simply because it’s been spread out,” said Ted Vaughan, partner in the retail and consumer products practice at consulting firm BDO. “The single day isn’t as significant.”

According to ShopperTrak, a consumer analytics firm based in Chicago, shoppers spent $9.1 billion at stores on Black Friday, which suggests that sales fell about 6 percent from last year.

But, according to the same data, store sales on Thanksgiving increased by about 27 percent.

There are plenty of reasons that retailers are stretching out their Black Friday sales.

For one, Thanksgiving fell late this year, and analysts say that retailers are trying to cope by elongating what otherwise might have been a short season for Christmas shopping.

Retailers are also hungry to get shoppers into stores after what has largely been a tepid year for the industry. Discount prices, it seems, are practically

the only way to get consumers off the sidelines. And retailers seem intent on satisfying customers who want a bargain.

Wal-Mart this year is touting five days of Black Friday deals, which began Thursday and will continue through Monday.

But the nation’s largest retailer actually tried to get holiday shoppers in the spirit much earlier: A week ago, Wal-Mart began price-matching its competitors’ planned Black Friday deals on items such as the PlayStation 4 gaming console and Keurig K40 coffee maker.

The Associated Press

TIXTLA, Mexico — The men are holed up with their buses on the college’s soccer field, sleeping in the compartments that once held passenger luggage and hanging the clothes they’ve hand-washed from the windshields.

While attention has focused on the kidnapping and disappearance of 43 students from the Raul Isidro Burgos teachers college in Tixtla, few have paid much attention to the three dozen or more bus drivers who say they are being forced by activists from the school to live as captives and act as chauffeurs for the very people who commandeered their vehicles.

The drivers, some of whom have been at the southern Mexico school more than a month, say they cannot abandon the buses because their companies hold them financially responsible for the vehicles, some of which are worth well over a hundred thousand dollars.

And with authorities unwilling to inflame tensions over the disappearance and presumed massacre of students from the school, no one is coming to their rescue.

“They say we aren’t kidnapped because we can get out and walk around, or swim in the [campus] pool,” said one driver who, like the others holed up at the school, refused to give his name for fear of angering the students. “But a prison inmate can also go out to the exercise yard or the gym, and that doesn’t mean they’re free.”

The students, who have a long history of sometimes violent activism, have justified the mass bus seizure as “an expropriation” and say they need the vehicles to ferry them to and from the many protests that have erupted in Guerrero state since the Sept. 26 disappearance and likely killing of their colleagues. Omar Garcia, a second-year student at the school, acknowledged it has put the drivers in a bad spot, unable to leave or earn a living to feed their families. But he told The Associated Press the students had no other choice, since they don’t know how to maintain the buses or drive such large vehicles.

Drivers have begged their employers to send replacements so they can go home and see their families. So far most companies have refused, though Garcia said an agreement was in the works between the students and the bus owners that would allow drivers to rotate out every 10 days.

Several bus companies with vehicles at the school declined to comment, except to acknowledge that they hold the drivers responsible for the vehicles as a matter of policy. The companies say hijackings have become such a frequent problem that some lines have cut back on runs through southern Guerrero state.

The plight of the drivers at the teachers college is just one example of the government’s inability to keep the peace in Guerrero state since the students disappeared, allegedly on orders from a local mayor whose corrupt police handed them over to drug traffickers.

Masked students also control toll booths to collect “donations” from motorists passing on the federal highway and hijack passenger buses for their own use. Protesters from a local teachers’ union have burned vehicles, public buildings and the offices of political parties, all while federal and state police stood nearby.

The disappearance of the students has ignited public outrage, with near-daily protests against a government blamed both directly and indirectly for their fate. Such tension has complicated any attempt to help the bus drivers.

Waste cleanup important for nation T

Kidnappings and killings overshadow Mexico reform

he Santa Fe New Mexican’s recent investigative article regarding Los Alamos National Laboratory’s handling of the incident at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is appreciated (“Missteps and secrets,” Nov. 16). The article, although very informative, made some allegations and raised suspicions that may be unfounded.

As mayor of the city of Española and chairwoman of the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities, I have received updates from the U.S. Department of Energy, the New Mexico Environment Department, officials from WIPP and from LANL regarding the investigation and the theories about what went wrong. Contrary to newspaper headlines that LANL has been hiding information, my experience has been that LANL has been forthcoming and transparent with the state of New Mexico and regional officials.

To date, LANL officials have completed an internal investigation that discovered sig-

nificant flaws in their processes; they have revealed these results. They have also shared information on technical experiments completed in trying to determine what went wrong.

Ultimately, we of the Regional Coalition have Alice been briefed on the wideLucero ranging series of experiments and theories that LANL is exploring and have seen no desire on the lab’s part to hide or manipulate the results. Northern New Mexico has a laboratory that is committed to scientific integrity, and we should support LANL’s efforts to seek the root cause of this incident.

The explosion at WIPP and its aftermath are extremely distressing, particularly because LANL was close to completing shipments of decades-old radioactive waste.

The nation, the state of New Mexico and the other national laboratories must learn from this experience and take actions to ensure that this never happens again. The WIPP facility must be restored to operation as soon as possible. Again, in contradiction to the article, we have received estimates from DOE that the timeline for the safe reopening of WIPP is the spring of 2016. (Editor’s note: Department of Energy officials have said a preliminary opening is possible in 2016, but a full reopening is expected to take two or three more years.) It is important not only to LANL but also to the nation’s ability to clean up decades-old transuranic waste from around the country while ensuring national security now and in the future.

Alice A. Lucero is mayor of Española and chairwoman of the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Don’t open Zia rail station

C

ity Councilor Ron Trujillo (“Rail Runner schedules test stops at Zia Road,” Nov. 17) states, “I’m hearing from a lot of constituents throughout the city that they want it open.” Well, those of us who use that road frequently do not want the Zia Rail Runner station to open. The intersection, during peak times, is already a disaster.

The station should never have been built, and it might just have to rot, as Councilor Trujillo suggests. A $55,000 study determined that traffic at Zia Road and St. Francis would continue to operate at acceptable levels even with the train station in operation? Did they survey drivers who pass through that intersection daily? And how do they define “acceptable levels”? Probably not the way the majority of citizens would define it.

Don’t open Zia station. Don’t compound the million-dollar folly by trying to fit a traffic jam into an inaccessible space.

Bechtel missteps There is no doubt that volatile nuclear wastes (“Missteps and secrets,” Nov. 16) are incredibly dangerous. Federal investigations have revealed that private contractors at Los Alamos National Laboratory, under parent company Bechtel, have completely mishandled nuclear waste drums and misrepresented facts regarding their culpability in causing the 2014 explosion at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant — all due to a headlong pursuit of profits over safety and a renewal of its lucrative $2.2 billion yearly contract.

This incident clearly proves how false is the boast by private business that it is more competent than government agencies.

Add Bechtel’s record to the long list of other bungled operations and enormous cost overruns by private interests (Iraq, anyone?).

Isn’t it time for this privatization myth to be given the death sentence it deserves, and place our public’s safety back into the hands of more conscientious (nonprofit) agencies under federal control?

Let’s stop shortsighted, profiteering corporations from endangering people’s lives.

Facility fees I applaud Orit Tamir’s column, (“Facilty fee: A double whammy for patients,” My View, Nov. 23) about Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center’s “facility fee.” Many of us have had identical inflations in our doctor’s bills masquerading as the hospital’s expenses. With Christus buying up so many smaller independent medical offices in Santa Fe and then charging this additional fee — often almost tripling the cost of previous visits

to our doctors — they must be making a huge profit.

My only addition to Ppofessor Tamir’s detailed analysis is to wonder why Medicare pays this “facility fee,” since the previous charges by my doctors obviously also included their office maintenance fees. Medicare should be queried on this extreme case of adding to our medical costs.

Drug’s side effects An article in The New Mexican (“Scientists find new alternative to statins,” Nov. 18) states that “the study found absolutely no side effects from ezetimibe.”

Their study did not include everyone who has taken Zetia (ezetimibe). I have spent the

Editorial page editor: Inez Russell Gomez, 986-3053, igomez@sfnewmexican.com

past two years recovering from severe, painful, debilitating muscle weakness caused, I believe, by taking Zetia. By the time I realized my weakness might be caused by medication, I was barely able to hold a cup of tea with both hands and had to hold onto the door jamb to climb one step up into my house.

Within two weeks after stopping the drug, I could discern a small improvement in muscle tone. That improvement has continued, but it has been a long, hard climb. I was able to stop using a cane after the first year of being Zetia-free. I would like to caution the scientists to please do further research before declaring a drug free of side effects. Muscle weakness may not seem very important compared to the risks of high cholesterol, but not being able to function normally without pain and safety should not be dismissed as an unimportant side effect.

andering the streets of Mexico City during the 2012 presidential elections, I couldn’t find anyone who had the slightest enthusiasm for the three candidates.

While it was assumed that Enrique Peña Nieto, the Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) candidate, would win, he was considered a “pretty boy,” more given to show and media than substance and accomplishments. He has been a great surprise, however, and has initiated three long-overdue reforms that could be crucial for Mexico as well as states such as New Mexico for which Mexico is a major business partner. (One-third of all New Mexico exports now go to Mexico, a number that is bound to increase as the border crossing at Santa Teresa continues its rapid growth.)

First, Peña Nieto broke the Carlos Slim telecommunications monopoly, which should mean both better and cheaper phone service for Mexicans as well as business opportunities for Morgan Smith U.S. telecom companies.

Second, he has taken on the education union and its corrupt leader, Elba Esther Godilla.

This is the union that’s responsible for Mexican students ranking last of all 34 Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries in the three categories of math, science and reading. It is the union that has controlled teacher training and credentials, with the result that someone can simply buy a teacher’s license without having any training or any intention of actually going to a school to teach.

Third, he is opening up Pemex, Mexico’s national oil company, to foreign investment. Because of its lack of technology and skills, Pemex’s production declined by about 25 percent between 2004 and 2012, costing the country tens of billions in lost revenues. With outside investment, production would increase and there would be revenues available for social services in cities like Juárez, where virtually all the human services are provided by volunteers, some of whom, such as Carlos and Hector Garcia as well as Lydia Pendley and her St. Bede’s Episcopal Church house-building teams, are from Santa Fe. In addition, this could be a significant business opportunity for an oil and gas state like New Mexico.

Peña Nieto is now facing an enormous challenge to his reforms and his credibility. It is called Ayotzinapa.

This is the teacher training college near the town of Iguala, south of Cuernavaca, where a group of local student protesters were fired on by police on Sept.

26. Six people were killed; one of them, a student, was found the next morning with his eyes gouged out and the skin sliced off his face, a cartel trademark.

The police took 43 other students into custody and allegedly turned them over to a gang called Guerrero Unidos. On Oct. 4, 28 burned corpses were found in several nearby pits, but initial forensic studies indicate that they were not the students. So who are these 28 and where are the 43 students?

If these Ayotzinapa killings and kidnappings and the earlier incident are local aberrations, that is terrible enough. A Santa Fe friend who runs an orphanage in Palomas, across the border from Columbus, N.M. suggests a much deeper issue, writing, “It is interesting that the violence has been curbed [in Palomas], but we should not think that the cartel has gone away.

A couple of our people were face to face with the current head of the cartel in Palomas recently, and it is definitely the head of Palomas to which all others bow.”

Although he was writing about Palomas specifically, this concept of “narco-governments” clearly applies in an even more frightening way to Ayotzinapa. And it is definitely true in states like Tamaulipas, where there could be substantial new oil and gas exploration. How widespread is this concept of “everyone is bowing to the head of the cartel” and of local governments either being “bought” with drug money or simply terrorized into submission?

Is the relative calm I’ve recently seen in Juárez, Palomas and other border towns simply an illusion?

How can a country grow and prosper if the people most likely to cause you harm are those who should be protecting you — the police and the military? If Peña Nieto cannot get to the bottom of the disappearance of the 43 students, if he cannot provide the most fundamental of government services — which is to keep your citizens safe — then the early hopes for his reforms will be for naught. This would be a tragedy for Mexico and for those of us who care about its people.

How can a country grow and prosper if the people most likely to cause you harm are those who should be protecting you — the police and the military?

Santa Fe resident Morgan Smith travels to Juárez, Palomas and other border towns at least monthly to document and work with a variety of humanitarian programs.

Second-term changes show promise

I

n any second term, the executive makes changes in the team that is running the government. Gov. Susana Martinez is no exception, and already has announced new appointments to her Cabinet and other top positions.

Some appear fairly routine; people grow tired of the weight of a Cabinet appointment and move on to other jobs. Others seem to offer promise — if not a new direction in policy, then at least a more competent administrator at the top. All Cabinet appointees, both new and old, will face confirmation when the Legislature begins its 60-day session in January. That’s because of a 2008 change to the state constitution requiring Senate approval at the start of each governor’s term.

Brent Earnest as Human Services Department secretary, replacing inept Sidonie Squier, particularly is a choice that could help improve that troubled department. From delays in signing people up for services they need and are qualified for, to smashing behavioral health services for patients, Human Services is in disarray. Earnest has competence, respect from all sides and a good track record in his favor.

That he comes from within the department is somewhat concerning, considering what a mess it is (Earnest currently is deputy secretary). However, his background in analysis at the Legislative Finance Committee, as a senior program associate at the Brookings Institution and even as a legislative aide to former Sen. Jeff Bingaman, a Democrat, shows a nimble mind and strong work ethic.

Other new appointees are Tom Blaine as state engineer, Jay Mitchell at Homeland Security and Emergency Management, Jack R. Fox at Veterans’ Services and Kelly Zunie at Indian Affairs. The state engineer, of course, is of particular importance because that position helps manage the state’s water resources. Blaine, with 28 years of engineering experience, brings both private and public experience to the job.

In his own firm, he focused on surface and groundwater hydrology and water distribution systems. All of his experience will be needed in the difficult job of state engineer.

More changes could be on the way, and we welcome new ideas and energy to improving how New Mexico operates.

Department of Public Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera never received a confirmation vote; it would be encouraging if Martinez took the hint and found a new leader for the department. Republican Rep. Dennis Roch, a school superintendent from Logan, is a logical choice. He is from New Mexico — but also has a master’s degree from George Mason University in Virginia — has real-life educational experience (unlike Skandera, who is a GOP policy expert) and is a conservative. Imagine, a secretary in public education with classroom and administrative experience. Such a switch would be an immediate morale booster for the state’s teachers, administrators and parents.

As Martinez considers her second term, she should think about what real accomplishments she can leave behind. Choosing smart, capable Cabinet secretaries is an important place to cement her legacy.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Nov. 30, 1914: Montevideo, Uruguay — The recent reports that the German fleet is now in the south Atlantic appear to have been confirmed here today. It is also rumored that a powerful British fleet is nearby. Interruption of British shipping and the outfitting of German merchant ships and supplies were reported here as confirmatory of report of the approach of the German fleet.

San Francisco — Three Japanese and one British warship and two Japanese colliers were sighted off Magdalena Bay, lower California, last Monday by the American freighter Aztec, now in port here from Iquique, Chile. The Japanese battleship Hizen and the cruiser Asama, which coaled and left Honolulu as the German gunboat Geler arrived, informed the Japanese colony on the island that they were bound for the South American west coast.

Nov. 30, 1964: The State Revenue Bureau has collected more than $19,000 in voluntary payments since announcing two weeks ago a crackdown on state income tax evaders. Charles Brunacini, revenue commissioner, said today that 286 income tax returns on 1963 income have been filed since the announcement of the drive to bring evaders into the fold.

Nov. 30, 1989: Española — Only “minimal” results led the Española school district to drop its contract with an Albuquerque agency that uses a dog to sniff out drugs in schools, school Superintendent Gilbert Duran said. But Jim Britt of the Britt Detection Agency said drug finds in the Española schools were more than minimal and in fact were the top end of the spectrum. Britt said he hadn’t been notified the Española district had no plans to renew this year’s contract as it had for the past two years. Duran said a number of issues had prompted the district to drop the contract, including little success in preventing drugs on the junior high and high school campuses. He also said the cost of Britt’s services had “skyrocketed.”

COMMENTARY: REIHAN SALAM

End birthright citizenship NEW YORK hether you agree or disagree with President Barack Obama’s use of his executive authority to temporarily shield 3.8 million unauthorized immigrants from the threat of deportation (on top of the 1.5 million he shielded in 2012), this much is true: The Obama administration has permanently altered the immigration debate. The president and his lawyers are right to insist that his executive action has not granted these immigrants “legal status.”

Rather, it allows unauthorized immigrants to apply for a threeyear reprieve from removal, which comes with a work permit. Though many conservatives, myself included, have questioned the wisdom of this unilateral action, the executive branch is very powerful in our constitutional scheme, and I don’t doubt that his actions will be vindicated by the courts. So no, I don’t intend to quibble over whether the president had the right to take this step. But I do want to discuss what happens next.

One can imagine a scenario in which the president announced this three-year reprieve while also telling unauthorized immigrants to pack their bags: OK, guys, I’m giving you three years to get your affairs in order, but after that you’re out of here. Instead, he emphasized the virtues of immigrants, lawful and otherwise. “These people — our neighbors, our classmates, our friends — they did not come here in search of a free ride or an easy life,” Obama said.

“They came to work and study and serve in our military, and above all, contribute to America’s success.”

Is that really true? It’s not obvious to me that impoverished people who choose to cross the border illegally, or to overstay their visas, are thinking first and foremost about contributing to America’s success. My guess is that most of them are keen to take advantage of the place premium, i.e., the fact that wages for the same work are much higher in a rich, productive country like the United States than in a poor, less productive one, like Nepal or Peru. I’d also guess that while these women and men are generally grateful for the opportunity to live and work in the United States, they care more about their own families, in the U.S. and abroad, than about some abstract American national community. (This is why remittances from immigrants toiling in rich countries to the relatives they’ve left behind in poor countries vastly outweigh the overseas development assistance handed out by stingy Western governments.)

I don’t mean to suggest that immigrants are bad people. I just think that they’re ordinary,

W

run-of-the-mill people — a mix of sinners and saints, like the rest of us, who care more about their kith and kin than perfect strangers.

Regardless, the president’s rhetoric leaves the strong impression that he sees this reprieve as a stopgap measure that will pave the way for a permanent welcome to most of today’s unauthorized immigrant population. As Ramesh Ponnuru observes in the National Review, Obama didn’t give us any principled reason why unauthorized immigrants who’ve been here for a while should stay while those who haven’t should go. But again, let’s leave that aside. The president’s intentions are clear: He wants to grant certain classes of unauthorized immigrants legal status and he doesn’t have the power to do so unilaterally, so he’s doing the next-best thing. Fair enough.

There was something else the president left out of his announcement, though. As we bring large numbers of unauthorized immigrants in from the shadows, so to speak, we must confront a few important facts. Unauthorized immigrants are, with very few exceptions, heartbreakingly poor. They tend to have extremely low levels of educational attainment, and workers with limited skills have been taking a beating in the U.S. labor market for decades. All the available evidence suggests that giving unauthorized immigrants the legal right to work in the U.S. will increase their wages, but not by much.

And the children of less-skilled immigrants tend to have poor educational and labor market outcomes — indeed, there is some evidence that is true for the grandchildren of lessskilled immigrants, too.

Does this mean that I oppose bringing unauthorized immigrants in from the shadows?

No, it does not. What it means is that I take that task very seriously, because I understand

that granting unauthorized immigrants legal status — or, for now, temporary quasi-legal status — entails a generational challenge. Given the scale of this challenge, and the fact that today’s unauthorized lessskilled immigrants are vulnerable to economic competition from future less-skilled immigrants, we also ought to declare that enough is enough: This will be the last less-skilled wave that we will absorb for the indefinite future, and that this will also be the last amnesty.

To demonstrate our seriousness on this front, we should take a step that countries like Australia, Britain, France, Ireland and New Zealand have already taken: We should end automatic birthright citizenship. If it is wrong to tear families apart by deporting the parents of U.S. citizens — and it really is wrong, in case you were wondering — we ought to establish that only the children of those who are living in the United States as citizens or lawful permanent residents will be granted citizenship at birth.

Instead of inviting future waves of unauthorized immigrants by, among other things, allowing birthright citizenship to stand, we should ensure that the less-skilled immigrants who already live among us don’t become part of a permanent American underclass.

The only way to achieve this goal will be to commit vast resources to upgrading their skills and those of their children, and yes, that will almost certainly mean higher taxes.

There was a throwaway line in President Obama’s Thursday night address that caught my eye. “Over the past few years, I have seen the determination of immigrant fathers who worked two or three jobs without taking a dime from the government, and at risk any moment of losing it all, just to build a better life for their kids.” This is a moving sentiment, but also a confus-

ing one. Having been raised by a single mother who faced more than her fair share of struggles, surely the president doesn’t put those who don’t take a dime from the government on a pedestal over those who do. The reason the immigrant fathers in question aren’t “taking a dime from the government” is that, with the exception of public education for their children and a few other benefits, they’re generally ineligible for the wage subsidies and work supports that we as a country provide to poor people to better their lives and to give their children a fighting chance to succeed.

For a rich country, the United States has an unusually high level of food insecurity — a polite term for hunger — in part because hunger is so common among unauthorized immigrant families, who can’t collect SNAP benefits. When we bring unauthorized immigrants in from the shadows, guess what: Those immigrant fathers who haven’t been taking a dime from the government will have every right to ask why their children, including their American-born children, should be denied full bellies at taxpayer expense.

President Obama never discussed the taxes that you and I will have to pay to guarantee that today’s unauthorized immigrants will become full participants in our society, or the challenges they will face as the pace of automation accelerates and people with limited skills struggle to find their economic footing. He celebrated our immigrant heritage without addressing how the immigration slowdown of the 20th century helped earlier generations of immigrants climb the economic ladder. He told us a feel-good story that left out the hard work to come.

And in that regard, he failed us all, immigrant and native alike.

Public power utility means a greener Santa Fe A

s U.S. Sen. Jeff Bingaman’s field representative for almost 10 years and now, as a board member at Santa Fe Community College, I am proud to be part of community solutions that are at the forefront of a green economy.

I have had the privilege of being engaged in many efforts that have resulted in meaningful policy changes for New Mexico. For instance, I was deeply involved in the critical efforts to permanently preserve the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument because we know that we thrive when we take care of our land, as we have

MY VIEW: MARTHA J. COOKE

done for generations. The values that guided my work supporting constituents with Sen. Bingaman continue to guide my work today with the Santa Fe Community College.

I support the efforts of Mayor Javier Gonzales and Santa Fe’s city councilors who are taking the vital first step to establish a Santa Fe public power utility. Why? This is the very authority that will help Santa Fe usher in good jobs in a clean energy economy.

In 2008, Santa Fe Community College convened the Forum on Workforce Training for the Green Economy, bringing together industry leaders from

renewable energy, smart grid, green building and environmental technologies. These experts informed SFCC’s development of the Sustainable Technologies Center, through which SFCC has introduced cutting-edge curriculum to prepare and certify students for careers in a wide range of green industries. Today, SFCC is thriving because it had the audacity and foresight to plan.

Luckily, we have the resources we need to create an abundant renewable energy economy. New Mexico has the second-greatest solar potential in the United States, receiving more than 310 days of sunshine annually. In 2013,

THE DRAWING BOARD THE WEEK IN CARTOONS

solar jobs grew at a rate 10 times faster than the overall economy. Every dollar invested in solar and other renewable energy sources generates four to 10 times as many jobs as a dollar invested in oil, gas, and other dirty fuels that threaten our water, skies, and land. Better still, these are local jobs that cannot be outsourced. Finally, solar and wind energy are now less costly than coal and nuclear alternatives. Nuclear costs approximately 7.9 cents per kilowatthour; coal costs 6.9 cents per kWh, while solar now costs 6.7 cents a kWh and wind only 3.7 cents per kWh. I encourage you to voice your sup-

port with your city councilor. A Santa Fe public power utility means a notfor-profit, locally owned utility that has more control, so all the benefits — including affordable energy costs, better service and a focus on aggressive solar installation to displace coal — stay in the community. It also means that a Santa Fe public power utility will be more responsive to local community values, which overwhelmingly prefer solar, promotes conservation (as does our water utility) and invests in solar for the benefit of our residents.

Public lands belong to all Americans

Papen bill would boost mental health services

P

ublic lands in the West are an American birthright managed for the benefit of all citizens. Lands such as the Santa Fe National Forest or the Valles Caldera National Preserve are valued for their scenic wonder, hunting, fishing, recreation opportunities and drinking water supplies.

The idea of federal, public lands is a uniquely American tradition that serves our communities well. Despite their overwhelming popularity, there are extreme, right-wing political factions that would exploit these lands for the gain of a few individuals or worse — privatize federal public lands by transferring them to the states.

Some state lawmakers — including here in New Mexico — are promoting just such nonsense.

But the idea is easily dismissed once the legal and economic realities are considered. For example, Arizona’s Republican Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed such legislation because it was “not reconcilable” with the U.S. Constitution nor economically defensible.

When New Mexico joined the United States, it explicitly disclaimed any ownership interest to federal lands within its boundaries. In fact, the Property Clause of Article IV of the Constitution clearly asserts that Congress has the power “to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States.” The Supreme Court has consistently recognized the expansiveness of this power.

Now comes presumed State Land Commissioner Aubrey Dunn promoting the same tired refrain that federal lands are mismanaged. Here in New Mexico, Dunn aligns himself with public lands ranchers and rural counties who sought to prevent the Forest Service from fencing off streams and rivers to protect the New Mexico meadow jumping mouse, a species listed under the Endangered Species Act. Polling suggests this is an unpopular view. A 2014 Colorado College Conservation in the West poll holds warning signs for pro-privatization lawmakers, including that 78 percent of New Mexicans are less likely to vote for a candidate who supports selling public lands such as our national forests. Over two-thirds of New Mexicans say they are more likely to vote for a congressional candidate who supports

A

politician who has no compassion is nothing but an evil apparition.

I am grateful to Sen. Mary Kay Papen (“Bill helps accused in Medicaid fraud case,” Oct. 23) for presenting the credible allegations of fraud legislation to the committee for the Department of Human Services at the state Capitol recently. I have been involved as a family and peer advocate since 2005 for local and state affiliates of the National Alliance for Mental Illness and as part of the statutory committees for Health and Human Services.

Beginning in June 2013, I have witnessed the administration of Gov. Susana Martinez extort core service providers in New Mexico with the support of Optum Health. The alarming reality of the disregard for due process by Human Services threatens effective treatment across the state. Those of us who are advocates become involved because we want to help people who are affected by mental illness gain access to services. Mental illnesses can involve family and friends, and treating mental illnesses often requires every social service that a community can provide, including EMTs, law enforcement, hospitals, income support, housing and unfortunately, detention centers and even prisons.

Recovery is achieved with lifelong support from the community and cannot occur in isolation. Advocates know that when our society does not provide adequate services for children, youth and adults who have mental illness, they decompensate, attempt suicide or self medicate.

Our system of support in New Mexico has been irreversibly damaged by the repressive action of Gov. Martinez and former Human Services Secretary Sidonie Squier. I encourage support for approval of this bill that protects New Mexico citizens from Martinez administration policies that lack compassion and insight.

protection of public lands.

While industry might be enriched under these schemes to privatize public lands, it’s whole comBryan Bird munities and regions that benefit from the natural values protected by public lands. Research shows that counties with protected federal public lands economically outperform those without.

For example, Western nonmetropolitan counties with more than 30 percent of the land base in federal protected status such as national parks, monuments and wilderness, increased jobs by 345 percent over the last 40 years. Per capita income in 2010 in Western non-metropolitan counties with 100,000 acres of protected public lands was on average $4,360 higher than in similar counties with no protected public lands.

Outdoor recreation in New Mexico generates $6.1 billion in consumer spending; 68,000 direct New Mexico jobs; $1.7 billion in wages and salaries and $458 billion in state and local tax revenue. The state of New Mexico in 2013 received $34,692,967 from federal payments to local governments to offset any loss in property taxes due to federal lands within their boundaries.

Dunn (“Managing lands is best done locally,” Looking in, Nov. 11) claims that local people are excluded from public land management, but every American has a privilege to participate.

If the federal lands had been so well-managed by the logging, cattle and mining industries, why are so many plants and animals, such as the Rio Grande cutthroat trout, on the brink of extinction and more than half of New Mexico’s waters contaminated?

Dunn says protecting public lands is some odd religion. No it’s not: It’s common sense. People like Sens. Martin Heinrich and Tom Udall understand, and it’s why New Mexicans are fortunate to have them representing us. We are blessed with an abundance of federal lands managed and paid for by U.S. taxpayers.

Help Adelante, help homeless children and families Y

ou might be upset by reading that in our country one in 30 children is now homeless (“Report finds child homelessness on rise in U.S.,” Nov. 14). Here is another number to ponder: In Santa Fe, one in 10 public school students qualifies as homeless.

I hope this statistic — one in 10! — enrages you and moves you to action.

It is true that our country has begun to address chronic individual homelessness. But, child, youth and family homelessness is often ignored. The families make themselves invisible, due to fear of authorities taking away the children. Many believe that child homelessness is permanent or like a large stone mountain looming over us that we are helpless to budge. It’s time we cast off the acceptance of child homelessness and advocate for affordable long-term housing and adequate

nutrition for children and families as a human right.

Adelante’s students grow up before their time: as the caregiver of siblings or parents; working at a young age to support the family; trying to adjust and belong to their new school or the living room that they’re borrowing to sleep in; dealing with serious medical and mental health concerns; fleeing domestic and sexual violence or addiction in their household; carrying their belongings in a backpack or laundry bag. Our students know the courage and resilience it takes to live without a stable home and a hungry belly.

Adelante Program is the expert on child and family homelessness in Santa Fe. Our talented staff is paid only by grants and your donations.

And we know we are having a strong impact.

Adelante’s bilingual, innovative

approach and multilayered, empowering services give you a huge bang for your buck: u 91 percent of our tutored students increased their reading by a minimum of one level; u Adelante students graduate because they have case manager/ liaisons assisting them at school with survival needs and academic pursuits. u For two years, our attorney has assisted more than 150 immigrant teens in accessing Deferred Action, which allows them to live and work legally in the U.S. u This year, we are focusing more in-depth on families with infants and toddlers, listening to their needs and gaps in services that we can help fill. u Our evening program for Adelante families attracts about 60 people weekly, with dinner, groceries, donations of children’s books and clothing,

parent educational classes and student art classes. u Mujeres de Adelante women’s cooperative has trained jobless moms to sew beautiful recycled grocery bags that are sold throughout the community. u Our food pantry annually distributes more than 100,000 pounds of food.

Despite winning a Piñon Award this fall from the Santa Fe Community Foundation, despite appreciation from our families, we are constantly scrambling for funds: to pay salaries; buy school supplies and clothing; to prevent evictions and utility disconnects; provide gas cards; pay for tutors and special items for school.

If you are outraged that one in 10 Santa Fe Public Schools students lives without a permanent home and sufficient food, if you care that 10 percent

of the schoolchildren in your town may be sleeping without heat or beds — then donate to Adelante.

Recently, I received a call from a former Adelante mom who wanted to donate to our families. She said, “You were my last stop before giving up and taking a bottle of pills. You have no idea what you did for us — emotionally and financially — when we needed you most. Now, I still don’t have much, but I want to give something back.”

Join Adelante in showing every child that Santa Fe cares. Don’t settle for one in 10. Help us move that mountain of complacency and refuse to accept the inevitability of child homelessness.

GIFT GUIDE A Game Plan for Buying the Perfect Holiday Gift

(NewsUSA) - Okay, here’s a quick question for all you holiday shoppers out there: Which do you dread more -and be honest -- a letter from the IRS or having to choose the “perfect” gift for everyone on your list?

Don’t be embarrassed if you picked the latter. These days, given all the pressure to out-Santa Santa, Consumer Reports is right when it says the holidays “can bring out the Grinch” in even the best of us.

To save you from that fate, here are some do’s and don’ts to help get you through the season: • Don’t think risking life and limb at door-busters is the only way to get the best deals. Assuming -- and it’s a big assumption -- that you actually do manage to be among the lucky ones to snag a $169 39-inch HDTV, why bother waiting hours outside in the freezing cold for a store to open? After too many incidents of people being trampled by Crowds Gone Crazed, DealNews reports that more and more retailers are making those same deals available online.

• Do try an online gift registry. Probably the best of them all, MyRegistry.com, not only lets members compile their own wish lists of items spotted on virtually any store’s website, but -- and here’s the neatest part for both gifters and giftees -- they can share their lists with anyone via e-cards, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.

“I hear so many stories of people telling me, ‘You won’t believe the [ridiculous] present my husband got me for Christmas last year,’” says Nancy Lee, president of the company, which has logged more than 120 million gift requests since its 2005 launch. “This just totally eliminates that.”

If you’re not into social media, the site also shows which gift requests are trending in real time. And there’s even a new option that lets you give cash gifts -- either as a donation to a charity in that person’s name (good for those who truly do have everything) or to help fund a winter vacation, say, that giftees have let it be known they crave.

• Don’t be so sure your gift cards get used. According to the National Retail Federation, an estimated $2 billion in such cards went unredeemed last year. As to whether they’re a cop-out or not, you decide.

Finally, stallers take note: Grabbing whatever’s left on the shelves won’t win you brownie points. “Remember that workout DVD?” one writer at AskMen.com warned.

“So does she.”

onnor White, 18, said there is no doubt about it — as the founder and still the driving force behind the Mesa Prieta Petroglyph Project, Katherine Wells set him on his career path as an aspiring anthropologist.

“She mentored me at first, and since then I have really grown and really appreciate the projects that she created,” said White, who grew up in Nambé Pueblo and is now an anthropology student at the University of Oklahoma. He participated in Wells’ summer internship program when he was 11, and was fascinated by the rocks.

White, like dozens of other middle and high school students in Northern New Mexico who were guided by Wells, helped to map and record the thousands of petroglyphs that mark the rocks and boulders of the Mesa Prieta in the upper Rio Grande Valley north of Española. (The area is also marked on some maps as Black Mesa, but Wells’ group uses the older name to avoid confusion with the mesa at San Ildefonso Pueblo.)

Wells, 78, is one of The New Mexican’s 10 Who Made a Difference for 2014. She said some of the thousands of petroglyphs on her hillside property and the surrounding mesa were likely created by the ancestors of White and other students,

which is why her group’s programs focus on Native and Hispanic youths.

She said up to 10 percent of the rock drawings “reflect Spanish history and culture.

The history of the Spanish is better reflected in the petroglyphs here than anywhere.”

For example, Wells said, 25 types of named European crosses “including the St. Andrews cross the St. Christopher cross and every kind of cross you can imagine” have been found among the petroglyphs. In addition, her volunteers have discovered a dozen images of heraldic lions

like that on the flag of the king of Spain, which she said may well have been drawn not by Spanish settlers or soldiers but

by Natives “who would have been mightily impressed by such things.”

Even several etchings that may well be menorahs have been discovered near the mesa, reflecting the presence of Jewish settlers.

“When I came to New Mexico [in 1992], only a handful of people knew that Mesa Prieta was an important site and no one had any idea that it might be the largest petroglyph site in New Mexico,” Wells said.

Students in Wells’ program must complete classwork before participating in a field study day on the mesa.

“For most of the kids, it is a real revelation,” Wells said.

“We’ve discovered that for many, it’s their first encounter with the natural world and that they have never been on a hike.

They love it. They love drawing the petroglyphs and exhibiting the vocabulary and knowledge they learned in the classroom. … One girl said, ‘This is the best day of my life.’ ” Volunteers from the petro-

New light on Manhattan Project’s ‘gatekeeper’ 1965 interview offers insights into secret mission

By Roger Snodgrass For the New Mexican

Long before it was a television miniseries, the Manhattan Project was a real-life drama with a high-profile cast of characters responding to a national emergency that would culminate with the Atomic Age. While most of the action took place in Los Alamos, beginning in 1943, the sleepy state capital of Santa Fe also served as a strategic location in the story’s plot. Santa Fe was a

gateway to the hush-hush project up on “the Hill,” where the first atomic bombs were about to be made from scratch.

In March of that year, Dorothy McKibbin, who would become famous as the gatekeeper of that entry point, had a lifechanging encounter with J. Robert Oppenheimer, the charismatic scientist selected to manage Project Y, as the new weapons mission at Los Alamos was first known.

A one-hour interview with McKibbin from 1965 was released this month by the Atomic Heritage Foundation, shedding a bit more light on the mission going on in

For people who moved into the Eldorado subdivision when it was started south of Santa Fe in 1973, and for two decades after, a semi-rural lifestyle was required.

The only businesses in or near the development were the Country Store across U.S. 285, which offered pizza, and a car repair shop on Avenida de Compadres.

Those who commuted the eight or 10 miles to and from their jobs in the city of Santa Fe had to plan ahead, making sure they picked up groceries, put gas in their cars and got other necessities before returning home.

Eldorado might have remained a sleepy bedroom community but for the initiative of a few entrepreneurs who created what has become the subdivision’s “downtown” area at the intersection of Avenida Vista Grande and U.S. 285. Today, residents have an array of goods and services in their community and a thriving social scene. Increasingly, they are relying on local merchants for most of their needs.

Eldorado’s dramatic change began in the early 1990s, when Alexander Constantaras and his family built the Agora, a modest commercial center on the north side of Avenida Vista Grande, which included a grocery store, a bank and a variety of other essential services, such as shipping service, a couple of restaurants and a coffee shop.

Many old-timers weren’t happy about the development at first.

Woman dies in head-on crash with suspected drunken driver A 37-year-old Santa Cruz woman died on her way to work after a suspected drunken driver crashed head-on into her vehicle on N.M. 30 in San Ildefonso Pueblo early Saturday morning, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office said.

The suspect, a 36-year-old Los Alamos man who had a 40-year-old female passenger, was traveling north in a Chevrolet Impala when he lost control of his car, sheriff’s officials said.

The man’s Impala swerved into the southbound lane and crashed into the woman’s silver Chevrolet Cavalier at about 4:45 a.m. Saturday, said Lt. Joe McLaughlin, a spokesman for the sheriff’s office.

McLaughlin said the Santa Cruz woman was on her way to work at the Los Alamos Smith’s grocery store.

The driver and the passenger in the Impala were airlifted to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, where they were treated for injuries that were not life-threatening. The Santa Cruz woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

McLaughlin said a blood sample was drawn from the male driver to determine his blood alcohol level.

Test results are pending.

The name of the suspected drunken driver was not released because charges haven’t been filed against him, McLaughlin said. The Santa Cruz woman’s name also was withheld because members of her extended family, who live out of state, had not been notified of her death.

Researchers developing breath test for marijuana SEATTLE — Researchers at Washington State University are working on a breath test to determine if a driver is under the influence of marijuana.

The News Tribune reports that law enforcement officers have a test for alcohol, but they don’t have a tool to test for marijuana impairment.

But WSU chemistry professor Herbert Hill says existing technologies like those used by airport security agents to detect drugs and explosives can be altered to test breath for THC. Hill says his team hopes to start testing on humans early next year.

SALVATORE DIPALMA March 23, 1923 ~ November 21, 2014 Salvatore DiPalma passed away peacefully at home on Friday, November 21, 2014. Shortly before his passing, he realized his wish to be surrounded by his loved ones.

Sal was born in New York City, and graduated from St. Ann’s Academy in 1941.

During part of WWII he served in the US Coast Guard (1943 - 1946), and after being honorably discharged he went on to receive a BSS degree from Fairfield University in 1953, and earned his MBA from Syracuse University in 1954.

After working several years for RCA, Sal joined the department of The Interior in 1959. He was a member of the delegation to the GATT Trade Negotiations in Geneva Switzerland in 1961. In 1964, Sal transferred to the Department of State in Washington, DC as an Economic Officer. He enjoyed serving two tours of duty in Copenhagen, Denmark, and one tour in the Ivory Coast, West Africa. In 1975 he retired, moved back to the US and eventually settled in Santa Fe. Sal was preceded in death by his parents, Antonio and Elsie DiPalma, his sister Mary Lippolis, as well as his first wife of 41 years Anne DiPalma.

Traveling through Europe was Sal’s favorite pastime. His most treasured moments were hiking along the Camino de Santiago in Northern Spain and the Hadrian’s Wall in the United Kingdom. His last trip was at age 88. Sal is now able to travel the globe, without the inconvenience of airport security, and baggage fees.

In brief Carlsbad man accused in killing CARLSBAD — A Carlsbad man who authorities say admitted to killing his father, dismembering his body with a chain saw and then burying him in the backyard will return to the city to face a murder charge, police said.

Carlsbad police said they have requested that Steven Allumbaugh be transported back now that he has been sentenced in Las Cruces on a separate charge related to his father’s death, the Carlsbad Current-Argus reported. Police believe they have built a strong enough case for a second-degree murder charge, authorities said.

A federal judge sentenced Allumbaugh on Nov. 20 to time served and three years’ probation for theft of government property. Allumbaugh is accused of drawing nearly $20,000 in his 88-year-old father’s Social Security benefits for almost a year. Police believe that Allumbaugh concealed his father’s death for a year to keep collecting benefits.

Carlsbad authorities said they will also charge Allumbaugh with evidence tampering and abuse of a resident.

The remains of Thomas Luther Allumbaugh remains were found in 11 trash bags in different parts of the backyard in December 2012 after his grandson in Virginia reported him missing.

According to a criminal complaint, Allumbaugh said the elder Allumbaugh died after the two got into a physical altercation. He said he hit his father and caused him to fall against a metal chair in a shower. Allumbaugh told police he chopped up the body on a bedroom floor in January 2012, the complaint said.

was allegedly threatening people with a gun.

Deputies say they heard several gunshots from where the alleged shooter was last seen.

A state police officer helping to investigate says he fired shots at someone after believing there was a threat.

Authorities have not released the identity of the deceased or confirmed whether the person was killed by the officer’s gunfire.

Grand Canyon mining ban appealed Area outside park rich in uranium The Associated Press

PHOENIX — Two mining industry groups have appealed a federal judge’s ruling upholding an Obama administration ban on new hard-rock mining claims on more than 1 million acres near the Grand Canyon.

The appeal filed this week by the National Mining Institute

and the Nuclear Energy Institute asks the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to overrule U.S. District Court Judge David Campbell’s decision dismissing their challenge to the 2012 ban.

Campbell ruled in favor of the federal government and conservationists in October, finding that former Interior Secretary Ken Salazar did not abuse his discretion or violate any laws in prohibiting new hard-rock mining claims.

Conservationists had argued

that the ban would protect water flowing through the canyon from potential contamination.

Campbell said he could find no legal principle that prevents the Interior Department from withdrawing the lands without approval of Congress, even if he was erring on the side of caution in “protecting a national treasure.”

The area is rich in high-grade uranium reserves and lies outside Grand Canyon National Park.

Mining industry groups and a Chino Valley resident sued, saying the ban was irresponsible public policy and violated federal laws.

An American Indian tribe and five conservation groups plan to join the Obama administration in opposing the appeal.

“We’ll work to defeat industry’s appeal because it puts important and necessary protections at risk,” Kevin Dahl of the National Parks Conservation Association said.

Shuttle: City’s pilot program ends Dec. 20 Continued from Page C-1 Nancy Ayala, who was waiting at the stop on St. Michael’s Drive recently, said many international students use the service because they don’t have vehicles. Ayala said without the shuttle, it’s unlikely that she and her friends could visit downtown bars and restaurants.

Arturo Palma said he and his friends planned to catch a $5 cab back to the university because they expected to stay out later than 11 p.m., when the service ends. Santa Fe County offers subsidized cab rates on Friday and Saturday nights in an effort to reduce drunkendriving incidents.

Palma said he appreciates the shuttle, and he hopes the city will keep the service running during the spring semester.

But he would like to see the city extend the shuttle’s hours because no one wants to return home by 11 p.m., he said.

A reporter and photographer arrived at the shuttle’s pickup point a little past 8 p.m. Nov. 21, a Friday, but no other passengers showed up for 45 minutes.

Friday and Saturday nights are the most popular for the shuttle. According to data from the city, Thursday is the slowest night. Records also show that most riders opt to catch the bus downtown at 8 or 8:30 p.m. The most popular return time from downtown is the last ride at 10:45 p.m.

The ride from the university to the downtown stop takes about 15 minutes, and the bus has space for about a halfdozen riders.

John Rodriguez, the university’s director of campus and residential life, said he and his staff have promoted the shuttle service by creating a calendar featuring live music and events at downtown venues. He hopes that by promoting off-campus events, he can get students to venture into the city.

“We don’t want [the campus] to be come some kind of protective bubble,” he said. “It gives them some free reign and liberty to go downtown.”

Rodriguez said he believes ridership will increase over time.

The city first experimented with the free shuttle program during a three-night festival called Night Wave in early August. Organized by local promoter Vince Kadlubek, the festival featured live music and other entertainment at downtown bars. While the festival was successful, only 20 riders took advantage of the shuttles, which ran until 2 a.m. each night. Even so, Kadlubek said, he considered that a success.

“I think with long-term scheduling, a tweaked routing plan and an orchestrated media push, the late-night shuttle could become a very popular service on the weekends,” he said at the time.

Jon Bulthuis, the city’s transit director, said the pilot project

generated encouraging numbers in its earlier months but failed to retain its initial traffic.

Santa Fe Trails on Dec. 10 will deliver a final report to the City Council, along with a staff recommendation on the service.

He said he was still working on the report, but it appears that the “city resources might be better used elsewhere.”

City Councilor Joseph Maestas, who represents District 2, which includes the school’s campus, said he was hesitant about the pilot program because he didn’t believe the shuttles would

run late enough into the night.

And given that the city’s transit system has limited resources, he said it might be better to scrap the program. Maestas said early data clearly showed that Thursday services proved to be unnecessary.

“We should look at more viable models,” Maestas said. “Our public transit system is under extreme pressure.”

Light: McKibben, who died in 1985, was more than a receptionist Continued from Page C-1 New Mexico while America was fighting World War II. The interview was part of a series conducted by Stéphane Groueff, a Paris-Match journalist and author, in preparation for one of the first comprehensive histories on the subject: The Manhattan Project: The Untold Story of the Making of the Atomic Bomb.

McKibbin was at the La Fonda looking for a secretarial job, but she was not impressed with a vague idea about “a thing known as Project Y” until Oppenheimer made a brief appearance.

“He had on a trench coat and a pork-pie hat,” McKibbin recalled in the interview. “He walked sort of on the balls of his feet. I think that he had a pipe in his mouth.”

Oppenheimer stopped, she said, and they were introduced.

“I did not get the name,” McKibbin said. “I wouldn’t have known anything about it if I had.

But as Oppenheimer moved away, McKibbin turned to one of Oppenheimer’s associates and said, “I’ll take the job.”

“He impressed you so much?” the interviewer asked her when she told the story.

“I thought that anything with which a man of that magnetism was connected was what I would enjoy,” McKibbin said.

or “front man,” according to the many people she assisted.

Her job had to do with taking care of virtually anything that was thrown at her, and in that bustle everything was further complicated by a code of secrecy.

She was a greeter in the most comprehensive sense, a den mother, a one-of-a-kind information bureau, a confidante and a problem-solver.

Because of her personal rela-

The address of the office, PO Box 1633, Santa Fe, N.M., became the official birthplace of dozens of babies in the next couple of years. That was the Los Alamos residents’ address of record.

McKibbin, who died in 1985, was more than a receptionist, more than a housing manager

McKibbin figures prominently in many of the books and articles that have been written about Los Alamos personalities and society. Most notably, she has a significant part in Jennet Conant’s book, 109 East Palace: Robert Oppenheimer and the Secret City of Los Alamos.

“She still is the gatekeeper,” Bradbury Reid said. When people want to know about the early days, she said, “This is the book that people read.”

Oppenheimer, who went by the name “Mr. Bradley,” rented five offices just off the Santa Fe Plaza at 109 East Palace Ave., and McKibbin began working in the housing manager’s office with a small staff.

Sunday, November 30, 2014 THE NEW MEXICAN

Hub: More than 1,000 people attend hardware store’s opening Continued from Page C-1 “Some people were disgruntled by the building,” Constantaras said in a recent interview from his Corrales home. “You can’t please everybody. But later, they thanked me. It went from lukewarm to enthusiasm.”

The subdivision became a stable community in phases: the residents who moved into the first model homes, those who embraced solar, the creation of the homeowners association and the growth of the school and the fire department.

The years between 1990 and 2005 brought rapid population growth, not just within the corporate boundary of Eldorado, but also in the multitude of subdivisions that now cover the landscape from the intersection of Interstate 25/U.S. 285 all the way to Lamy, an area greater than 50 square miles.

The next surge in the business community came in the mid-2000s, when a local investor built the sizable La Tienda complex across the road from the Agora. It included two minimalls, an anchor restaurant, a gym, a dentist’s office, a beer pub and a cluster of professional offices.

Many La Tienda businesses succeeded, but the developer ended up filing for bankruptcy.

The property was purchased by Steve Ewers, the owner of Santa Fe Computer Works, and his wife, Destiny Allison, a sculptor, author and entrepreneur.

It was 2008, and the economy was spiraling into recession, but Allison, the marketing expert in the family, had a new plan for the complex.

“Pre-2008, we were still living in an impulse economy,” Allison said. “Small businesses were up against big-box stores who were competing against each other, claiming ‘we’re cheaper than you!’ ” Loyalty and social entrepreneurship — the keys to profitable small businesses — became the couple’s vision for La Tienda, Allison said. She focused on supporting her existing businesses, recruiting like-minded new ones and trying to encourage Eldorado residents to shop locally.

The couple have opened La Tienda to a variety of nonprofit activities, including art gallery space, community meetings in the performance space and musical concerts, often without charge. Merchants in the complex are expected to give back to the community in the form of providing classes, discounts and other offerings to keep their customers coming back.

Customer loyalty is reinforced by a strong social media presence, alerting customers to upcoming events and on occasion alerting the community to important issues of the day.

The latest turning point in the Eldorado business scene occurred this year when Chris

Sandia labs to help develop state museum programs ALBUQUERQUE — Sandia National Laboratories is teaming up with the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science.

The two have signed a memorandum of understanding in which the lab will help identify

and develop programs and exhibits that focus on space exploration, renewable energy, water and nanotechnology.

Lab director Paul Hommert says Sandia and the museum have a common interest in exposing young people to sci-

ence, technology, engineering and math. He says the agreement signed last week serves as a vehicle to strengthen the relationship that the lab already has with the museum.

and Linda Miller, longtime residents and owners of the Country Store, decided to retire and hand over the business to his sister Kathy and their father, Joe Miller.

For decades, the Country Store had been the primary source of sand and gravel, a necessity in dirt-road country, and also carried a stock of gardening, plumbing and other types of tools and building materials.

Ewers jumped at the opportunity to buy the Country Store’s remaining hardware inventories, and after reconfiguration of several spaces at La Tienda, they were able to open a new True Value hardware store, which is a co-op company, in harmony with the owners’ emphasis on local benefits.

More than 1,000 people attended the grand opening in October, and they rejoiced that they would no longer have to go into Santa Fe for their hardware needs.

Meanwhile, eastward across the highway, Joe Miller has started his newest, countyapproved project, the next stage of the Cimarron Village subdivision. Already, he has built an 88-unit complex of self-storage units behind the old Country Store, which is being renovated for a possible steakhouse. An interior road, Colina Drive, is partially complete.

Miller has developed many properties in the area, including a gas station and minimart at the intersection of Avenida Vista Grande, professional offices and a veterinary clinic south of the main Eldorado entrance. The county also has approved his plans to build retail, live-work complexes and senior housing on the east side of U.S. 285.

Throughout Eldorado’s short history, its population has continued to grow, according to the developers and real estate agents. Allison estimates that the region from Eldorado to Lamy contains about 19,000 residents, and that if the area were a town, it would be New Mexico’s 12th largest.

Trudy Conkling says about 45 to 50 homes are bought and sold each year in Eldorado, and that the demographics are tilting toward younger families, perhaps due to the addition of two grades, seven and eight, to the El Dorado Community School.

Moreover, an estimated 30 percent of Eldorado-area residents are self-employed, which means a semi-captive market, and another estimated 30 percent are retired and tend to be relatively well-off.

The Agora also has benefited from the population growth.

The John Brooks grocery has expanded, and the First National Bank remains a significant anchor for the center.

The popular Las Chivas coffee shop is celebrating 20 years in business, and stores such as Country Pet and Quik-Send are always busy.

Recently, Santa Fe County counted about 10,000 vehicles entering the shopping center every week, an average of 1,429 a day.

What’s next for Eldorado?

All three of the developers seem to agree that the community is in need of health care services. Residents would benefit from a new pharmacy, following the closing earlier this year of the MediCap Pharmacy in the Agora, they said, and they have been speaking with providers about the possibility of establishing an urgent care center.

Destiny Allison, her husband, Steve Ewers, and other investors purchased La Tienda in Eldorado in 2009. Their goal was to create a groovy, post-recession economic model, including co-ops, required ‘give-backs’ and individually owned condo office space. Allison says La Tienda has 90 percent occupancy.

THE NEW MEXICAN Sunday, November 30, 2014

From the files of a longtime counselor

F

rom the I’m Sorry to Have to Tell You Department: Parents who say they want to raise kids who “think for themselves” are not being exactly truthful. It’s a nice and very democratic thing to say, for sure, but let’s face it, folks, you want your kids to think like you do. For example: If you’re a liberal, you want your kids to be liberals when they grow up. Right?

Right! The same is true of conJohn servatives, Rosemond libertarians, people of Living With faith, people Children of no faith and people with COEXIST bumper stickers on their cars. Furthermore, that’s the way it should be.

When you conceive a child, you pass along your genes. As you raise the child, you pass along your worldview. If you are not trying to pass along your worldview, then you must think your worldview isn’t worth passing along, and I’ve yet to meet such a person.

From the Can’t We All Just Get Along? Department: When I was a child, my parents repeatedly told me not to get into conversations about religion or politics. Those subjects were divisive, they said, and it is especially the case in America that people need to find common ground. My parents would not be pleased to know that their admonition fell on deaf ears. I would rather talk about matters of religion and politics than anything else (having a good deal to do with the fact that I am one of a small number of males who care nothing about sports).

But I will propose that my parents, if they were still with us, would add a third item to their “don’t discuss” list: parenting.

Where once there was general agreement on how to raise kids, today there is little; therefore, the subject is likely to provoke conflict. Furthermore, given that such agreement is essential to perpetuating, strengthening and constantly renewing culture, a lack of consensus concerning how American parents should be raising American children is the most divisive and dangerous of all disagreements. Comparatively speaking, disagreements over such things as climate change and health care are small potatoes.

From the Here’s a Prime Example of What I’m Talking About Department: One of the questions I am most asked is “How can my spouse and I get on the same page?” The answer is simple. The reason husband and wife are not on the same page is because the two people in question are no longer husband and wife; they are mother and father to a child or children. When they began having children, they began acting as if they had taken a vow saying they would be husband and wife “until children do us part.” When two married people with children function primarily as mother and father, they will view their kids through two very different sets of eyes — male and female. When they raise kids as husband and wife, they are far more likely to see their kids and their parenting responsibilities with one set of eyes. And nothing puts a more solid foundation of well-being under a child’s feet than that set of circumstances.

From the It’s Really Quite Simple Department: The reason a child does not do what he is told is he is not being told.

Instead, his parents are pleading, bargaining, bribing, explaining, reasoning, cajoling, encouraging, promising, threatening and screaming. You want your kids to obey? Tell.

El mitote Every year around Thanksgiving, entertainment/news site BuzzFeed asks its British and Australian staffers to try and name America’s 50 states on a map. It goes about as well as you would expect. However, many of the staffers correctly identified New Mexico this time, likely thanks to the influence of the hit TV show Breaking Bad. In fact, one staffer called New Mexico “Breaking Badlands,” while others simply titled the state “Meth.”

Other staffers guessed less accurately, often confusing New Mexico for Arizona or Colorado. The worst offender mistook our Southwestern state for the northeastern Delaware. uuu

The New York Times recently featured Santa Fe in its recurring travel feature 36 hours, in which a writer lays out an itinerary for a weekend visit to a new locale. Writer Zora O’Neill praised the city’s active arts scene during the summer, but offered a compelling argument to visit Santa Fe during the frosty winter months.

“This is when residents effectively reclaim the center, the walkable area from the old plaza to the newer Railyard district,” she wrote. “The only glitz and glitter is the snow sparkling under a sunny blue sky and paperbag lanterns glowing in the black night.”

She mentions iconic institutions such as Santa Fe Bite, the the Jean Cocteau Cinema and the Japanese spa Ten Thousand Waves. Check out the full piece at http://goo.gl/ mwjqg1.

ST. JOHN’S, Antigua — The prime minister of Antigua & Barbuda has appointed actor Robert De Niro as special economic envoy of the twin-island nation in the eastern Caribbean.

The administration of Gaston Browne said in a statement Saturday that the appointment comes after De Niro signed a memorandum of agreement on Friday for a $250 million hotel investment in Barbuda.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Provocative Danish director Lars von Trier says he fears he won’t make any more movies since sobering up, because his award-winning films were made while intoxicated.

In his first interview in three years, von Trier told Saturday’s edition of Danish daily Politiken that he no longer drinks a bottle of vodka a day or takes “narcotics” that had helped him enter “a parallel world.”

Because of sobering up, von Trier says: “I don’t know whether I can make more films.

And that haunts me.”

who as much as it is about figuring out who goes where.

The Lobos (3-2) are coming off a shaky performance in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off, losing two of three games and saying adios to three starters between its first game in the pre-holiday tournament and Sunday’s home game against Southern California.

UNM and the Trojans (3-3) will tip off at 2 p.m. in The Pit. Out for up to five weeks with a

badly sprained right ankle is starting point guard and leading scorer Cullen Neal. The sophomore went down late in a loss to Boston College and has been in a walking boot ever since.

The injury will not require surgery, but it will keep him on the bench for at least three weeks.

Also lost during the tournament was Neal’s replacement in the start-

Lobos wrap season with victory over Wyoming

Hilltoppers starting strong Los Alamos defeats Elkettes, improves to 2-0 under new coach

By James Barron The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE — The waning seconds of the 2014 season perhaps provided a glimpse into the future for The University of New Mexico football team.

Needing its much-maligned UNM 36 defense to secure a season-ending win against Wyoming on SaturWyoming 30 day afternoon, the Lobos got the fourth-down stop that seemed to escape the team for most of the season to secure a 36-30 win at University Stadium. The win gives UNM a 4-8 mark for the season, but secured the first two-win season in Mountain West Conference play since 2008.

The Lobos took a 36-30 lead on Carlos Wiggins’ 97-yard kickoff return with 1:53 left in the third quarter and the subsequent 2-point conversion, and held on even as the offense failed to produce any more points despite reaching Wyoming territory on four straight drives. Yet, it looked like the same ol’ story would emerge as the Cowboys drove 60 yards in seven plays on their final drive to get to the New Mexico 5-yard line

No. 2 Alabama surges past No. 15 Auburn

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Amari Cooper tied his own school record with 224 yards receiving and caught three touchdown passes in No. 2 Alabama’s 55-44 comeback victory over No. 15 Auburn on Saturday night in the highest-scoring Iron Bowl.

Quarterback Blake Sims and the Crimson Tide (11-1, 7-1 Southeastern INSIDE Conference) turned to the Heisman u Top 25 Trophy contender for touchdown strikes roundup. of 39 and 75 yards in the third quarter.

PAGE D-4 Alabama had already clinched a spot in the SEC title game against No. 17 Missouri, and the top team in the College Football Playoff rankings scored 28 consecutive points heading into the final seconds.

Auburn (8-4, 4-4) surged ahead 36-27 before losing its third straight SEC game in a season that once also carried playoff hopes.

Sims passed for 312 yards and four touchdowns but was threw three interceptions. Auburn’s Nick Marshall had 456 yards passing, 206 to Sammie Coates.

LOS ALAMOS estor Trujillo brought a little bit of The Valley to The Hill.

The returns so far are encouraging for anyone in the green and gold of Los Alamos.

In a place where opponents used to measure the Lady Hilltoppers’ basketball success on their size in the paint, Trujillo is utilizing his guards as if he were coaching at Española Valley. Los Alamos’ firstyear head coach is pressing and dictating the tempo, and the Lady Hilltoppers are off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2007 after a 59-39 win over Pojoaque Valley in Griffith Gymnasium on Saturday night.

Of course, it helps that Trujillo brought along daughter Ashlynn Trujillo with him from Española, where she played the previous three seasons, to build a strong guard tandem with Amber Logan.

The pair combined for 39 points, 10 steals and nine rebounds to ignite an energetic defensive effort that forced 31 Pojoaque turnovers.

And it’s a style that best fits this unit, which does not have the size that past Lady Hilltoppers squads possessed. It also suits coach Trujillo just fine.

“Most basketball teams, when you have to run a half-court set, it’s not the most beautiful basketball in the world,” he said. “And you got kids that are just not suited for that game. Our game is in-yourface physicality and up-and-down basketball.”

NFL: DENVER AT KANSAS CITY, 6:20 P.M. ON NBC

A lot on line as Broncos visit Chiefs Both teams’ division hopes pinned to rivalry matchup

By Dave Skretta The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The last 10 days could not have gone much worse for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Beginning with a humiliating loss to Oakland, a team that had lost 16 consecutive games, and ending with the sobering news that popular and talented safety Eric Berry could have lymphoma, it has been a period marked by frustration, anxiety and uncertainty.

“It’s been a tough week for us. It’s a lot going on,” running back Jamaal Charles said, “but at the same time, we have to start getting focused. We have a big game this week.”

The Chiefs (7-4) welcome the AFC Westleading Denver Broncos (8-3) to Arrowhead Stadium.

The game Sunday night between two bitter rivals has a little more riding on it this time around. After Kansas City lost a competitive game in Denver in Week 2, the beleaguered team needs a victory over Peyton Manning and Co. if it wants any shot at winning the division.

“We’re playing at home, a great environment to be playing a division team — we know we got to win this game,” Charles said.

“This game is a go-out-there-and-get-it win.

We know we have a tough challenge with a

Hall of Famer and a great defense coming to town. I think we’re up for that challenge this week. We control our own destiny right now.”

So do the Broncos. Not only would a victory give them a stranglehold on the West, it would allow them to keep within striking distance of New England for the AFC’s best record.

“They have the same goals that we have.

It’s really about who wants it more,” Broncos defensive tackle Terrance Knighton said.

“We’ll have our hands full.”

It’s not as if the Broncos haven’t had to

overcome their own adversity lately.

After losing Montee Ball to a groin injury and Ronnie Hillman to a foot issue, they have leaned on second-year, third-string running back C.J. Anderson to balance the offense.

Tight end Julius Thomas remained limited in practice this week after hurting his ankle Nov. 16 against St. Louis. Linebacker Brandon Marshall returned to practice Friday after being sidelined with a concussion. And then there’s placekicker, where they signed veteran Connor Barth this week to replace firstyear pro Brandon McManus.

“This team has good flexibility,” Manning said, “and I think that is important when you have a 16-game season for a player to be able to move to a different spot; to be able to run different types of plays and different types of formations and win games different types of ways. I think that is important for any team and I feel this team can do that.”

Still, can they do it in a hostile environment? The Broncos are unbeaten in six games at home, but they’re just 2-3 on the road, including a stunning loss to St. Louis a couple of weeks ago.

“That crowd can cause communication problems for teams,” Manning said, “and so that is what you have to home in on all week, whether it’s practicing with the crowd noise and really being on top of the game plan. You need to protect the ball, certainly, like in any game, but especially on the road and try to be good in the red zone, try to really fight crazy there.”

NBA ROUNDUP

Gortat leads Wizards over struggling Pelicans The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Marcin Gortat had a season high 24 points and 13 rebounds, Bradley Beal scored 12 points and the Wizards beat the New Orleans Pelicans 83-80 on Wizards 83 Saturday night.

The Wizards Pelicans 80 trailed only once — when Anthony Davis, who led New Orleans with 30 points, dunked to give the Pelicans a 78-77 lead with 3:48 left.

Paul Pierce hit a layup and a 3-pointer, and Washington led 81-77 with 2:13 to play.

Tyreke Evans missed a 3-point attempt that would have tied the score with 1.7 seconds to play.

Gortat was 5 for 7 from the field in the third quarter as the Wizards, who never trailed, built a 65-57 lead after three quarters.

New Orleans has lost a season-high three straight. Davis had 13 rebounds, but the NBA blocked shot leader had none for the first time in 15 games.

The Pelicans had a season-low 12 assists and lost on consecutive nights.

In their first three back-to-backs this season they had lost the first and won the second game.

MAVERICKS 110, 76ERS 103 In Philadelphia, Tyson Chandler had 20 points and 13 rebounds to help Dallas beat the 76ers, sending the latter to a franchise-record 16th straight loss to

start the season.

Michael Carter-Williams had a triple-double with 18 points, 16 assists and 10 rebounds for the 76ers, who eclipsed the 1972-73 club that began 0-15 on the way to setting an 82-game NBA record for fewest victories at 9-73. Philadelphia became the fifth team in league history to open with at least 16 straight losses, joining the 1994-95 Clippers (0-16), 1998-99 Clippers (0-17), 1988-89 Heat (0-17) and the 2009-10 Nets (0-18).

HAWKS 105, HORNETS 75 In Atlanta, Paul Millsap scored 18 points, Mike Scott added 14 and the Hawks handed Charlotte its ninth straight loss.

Dennis Schroder and Kyle Korver

each finished with 12 points for Atlanta (9-6), which has won two straight and four of five.

CAVALIERS 109, PACERS 97 In Cleveland, Kevin Love scored a season-high 28 points, Kyrie Irving added 24 and the Cavaliers defeated the Indiana Pacers.

LeBron James added 19 points as Cleveland won its third straight game after losing four in a row and moved its record to 8-7. The Cavaliers have won the three games by an average of 23.3 points.

Virginia defeats Rutgers at Barclays The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Justin Anderson and Anthony Gill each had 13 points Saturday to lead Virginia to Virginia 45 a 45-26 win over Rutgers Rutgers 26 in the championship game of the Barclays Center Classic.

Virginia (6-0) held Rutgers to just 25 percent shooting.

Anderson, who was the MVP of the tournament, had a twohanded dunk with 3:02 left that essentially sealed the win. Gill added his own emphatic twohanded dunk with 1:36 remaining that pushed the Cavaliers lead to 42-26.

Kadeem Jack’s eight points led Rutgers (3-3).

NO. 9 WICHITA STATE 75, TULSA 55 In Wichita, Kan., Fred VanVleet scored 21 points and Ron Baker had 19 to lead No. 9 Wichita State past Tulsa.

VanVleet and Baker combined for 23 first-half points as the Shockers (4-0) built an 18-point lead. Darius Carter scored 14 points for Wichita State.

James Woodard scored 16 of his 19 points in the second half for Tulsa (3-3). D’Andre Wright had 13 points for the Golden Hurricane.

OLD DOMINION 73, NO. 14 VCU 67 In Norfolk, Va., Aaron Bacote scored a career-high 31 points to lift Old Dominion to a win over No. 14 Virginia Commonwealth.

Bacote, who came into the game averaging just four points and shooting 16 percent, had scored just 20 points on the season.

He made his first eight shots, including four 3-pointers, and was 11 for 13 from the free throw line to top his previous career high of 28 done twice last season.

The Rams (4-2) were led by Treveon Graham’s 34 points and never led after the opening few minutes.

The Wolverines (5-1) were without starting point guard Derrick Walton, who was on the sideline with what appeared to be a boot on his left foot. Spike Albrecht was certainly a capable replacement for Walton, finishing with 10 points, seven assists, three steals and no turnovers.

Ricky Doyle added 15 points for Michigan, and Zak Irvin scored 14.

Nicholls State (0-4) was led

by Ja’Dante’ Frye, who scored 15 points. T.J. Carpenter added 12.

Start: Turnovers hurt Elkettes

Northern New Mexico

SCOREBOARD

Continued from Page D-1 That was made clear early on, as the Elkettes (1-2) had seven turnovers in their first nine possessions that led to an 11-0 spurt for Los Alamos produced primarily by transition baskets. The point was made crystal clear in the second half, as the Lady Hilltoppers’ pressure allowed just two Pojoaque baskets — one each in the third and fourth quarters — while the turnovers continued to pile up.

It became a frenzy of steals for Los Alamos, which had 23 overall. Trujillo had six, while Mikaela Jones had five and Logan added four. Three of Jones’ steals came during a 25-second stretch to open the fourth, which ignited a 10-1 spurt that turned a 43-31 lead at the start of the quarter into a 53-32 margin.

Ashlynn Trujillo said the Lady Hilltoppers have jelled very quickly with the new system, which they started to pick up in June after her dad was hired to place Ann Stewart.

“We’re all just fitting into the program,” Ashlynn Trujillo said. “Knowing what our roles are, we’re fitting in pretty good, but we still got some work to do.”

Which is what Pojoaque is going through with its first-year head coach Chris Williams. With two key seniors sitting out in Natalie Martinez and Veronica Dominguez, Pojoaque had to rely on lesser experienced guards to handle Los Alamos’ pressure, and it showed at the start.

“It was us, and we couldn’t handle their pressure,” Williams said. “We got nervous, and that’s OK. I’m going to throw my girls into the fire right away because even when my ball handlers get back, everybody needs to handle the pressure.”

When Aaliya Casados scored on a backdoor layup at 4:15 of the first quarter to get the Elkettes on the board, they seemed to regain their composure and chipped away at the margin. Casados started an 8-2 run to get the margin to 13-8. In the second quarter, it was with an Ashley Serna bank 3-pointer at 1:02 that Pojoaque crept to within 27-22.

Justice Ainsworth hit a floater in the lane at 7:01 of the third quarter to make it 29-24, but that was the last bucket Pojoaque made until Shania Thrones scored on a layup at 3:32 of the fourth. In between, the Elkettes went 8-for-11 to the line, which Williams said showed his team could executed its game plan when the ball wasn’t going in the other direction.

“I thought we got what we wanted offensively,” Williams said. “When we got set up and we executed, we got the shot we wanted. It was our inability to get to that point that hurt us.”

Then again, Los Alamos did its part to prevent the Elkettes from getting to that point, using a style that its District 2AAAAA foes to the

Lobos: Both teams are struggling with roster depth Continued from Page D-1 ing lineup, guard Arthur Edwards. In the waning moments of a loss to Texas A&M, he suffered a dislocated ring finger on his right hand when the bone actually broke through the skin and required stitches. He has been in and out of a finger splint since.

If that weren’t enough, emerging scoring threat Jordan Goodman went down with a concussion in practice earlier this week and will definitely sit out Sunday’s game against the Trojans. The 6-foot-9 power forward had a breakout performance in Puerto Rico, scoring a career-high 19 points in one game.

“Without Jordan being able to play, it kind of handcuffs you,” said UNM head coach Craig Neal. “The way you look at it is you’re basically missing three starters.”

Sunday’s starting five will feature mainstays Hugh Greenwood at the point and Deshawn Delaney at off guard. Freshman Xavier Adams will get his first start, big man Obij Aget will probably get the nod at center and Devon Williams will start at forward.

Minus Neal, Goodman and Edwards, UNM’s depth goes from seven reserves to four — and one of them is walk-on Tim Jacobs, a player Craig Neal said will likely see plenty of action Sunday as he’s the third-string point guard.

While a win over the Trojans would certainly be nice, a good showing from the mishmash lineup would be even better.

“When you’re a bench guy, your role and leash are a lot shorter,” Neal said.

“The only reason I say this is I did it for three years. I did it for two and a

half, really. If you come in right away, you don’t have five or six minutes to get warmed up. It’s a little bit different than it is for the guys in front of you or those that are starting.”

While UNM may be struggling to make ends meet, that’s even more the case for USC. Of the 14 players on the Trojans’ roster, 11 are freshmen or sophomores. The entire projected starting lineup is made up of younger players, including former UNLV standout Katin Reinhardt at shooting guard.

Neal said the key for the Lobos isn’t so much answering USC’s challenge.

It’s limiting turnovers, managing shot selection and staying attentive on defense — three trademarks of a team brimming with inexperienced players.

“Some of them have never been put in situations where they’re guarding a certain way or expected to do certain

things defensively,” Neal said. “That’s your biggest issues.”

NOTES Neal said his son’s recovery from the aforementioned ankle sprain has at least a little to do with Cullen Neal’s ability to block out the pain. …

The Lobos are 25-23 against teams from the Pac-12 since moving into the Mountain West Conference in 1999. … The first of two meetings with New Mexico State will be Wednesday in The Pit. The rematch will be Dec. 20 in Las Cruces. … Greenwood is averaging 13.2 points and 4.8 rebounds, but Neal wants him to be more selective with his decisions when shooting the ball. He said his senior guard has been pressing and taking shots that he probably shouldn’t. … USC’s losses have been to Portland State, Akron and Penn State. It has beaten Cal State Fullerton, its only common opponent with UNM.

Wrap: UNM had five big plays that resulted in scores Continued from Page D-1 with less than a minute in the game.

The big play was a 44-yard pass from Cowboys quarterback Colby Kirkegaard to Tanner Gentry that put the ball on the 5 and seemed to take the life out of the stadium — but only for a moment.

Luck turned in UNM’s favor as a false-start penalty pushed Wyoming to the 10. Then Kirkegaard missed on two straight passes before Brian Hill ran for six yards to set up fourthand-goal at the 4. When Kirkegaard missed Tanner Gentry in the end zone, a collective sigh was breathed and the Lobos had their first home win of the season — on “Senior Day,” no less.

And all this from a unit that came into the game allowing 36.5 points and more than 500 yards per game to opposing offenses.

“If we go down, we’re going down

swinging,” UNM head coach Bob Davie said. “We’ve changed so much of what we are again. Just because of some things with matchup situations.

At the core, we are a blitz-and-comeafter-them defense. … Hopefully, next year we’ll have some more pieces. But at the end, we were coming after them every down.”

Still, it seemed that some statistics screamed against such a finish. Wyoming held a huge advantage in time of possession (40:50 to 18:59) and ran more than twice as many plays (9439), all of which seems to fly in the face of a Lobos offense that relies on controlling possession. The difference came in big plays.

UNM had five of them go for scores — a 19-yard interception return by Cranston Jones, a 75-yard touchdown pass from Lamar Jordan to Tyler Duncan, a 69-yard rushing score from Jhurell Pressley (who had 101 rushing

yards on the day to finish the season with 1,083 yards) and Wiggins’ return.

Wiggins’ return was his fourth as a Lobo, which set a school record for most returns in a career.

“To get this return [was] probably one of the biggest plays I’ve made of course this season and in my lifetime,” Wiggins said. “So it’s a great feeling. The special teams guys that were blocking for me — if it wasn’t for them, we wouldn’t have made that return.”

Pressley’s run came early in the second quarter to give the Lobos a 21-10 lead, but as has been the case this season, the defense couldn’t make it stand up against the Cowboys. Wyoming scored on the ensuing drive as Shaun Wick capped a 75-yard drive with a 3-yard TD run for 21-17. Stuart Williams’ 32-yard field goal with 0:31 left in the first half cut the margin to 21-20.

Then Brian Hill, who finished with

163 rushing yards, gave the Cowboys a 27-21 lead with a 23-yard TD run to open the second half. But the UNM defense allowed only a Williams field goal with 2:08 left in the third that gave Wyoming a 28-27 lead it held for all of 15 seconds — when Wiggins wrested it away on the kickoff.

“I mean, all year we talk about don’t flinch,” said cornerback David Gurthie, one of 14 seniors playing their final game in the cherry and silver. “No matter what happens, you got three more plays. As long as you get them down and they don’t score a touchdown, you have at least three more plays to go out there and stop them.

And that’s something that we did.”

It might be the start of something more for the defense. There’s only nine months before everybody finds out.

How will committee view hurt Buckeye?

A Super Bowl preview?

Packers vs. Patriots game will test strong offenses, coaches

By Jim Litke The Associated Press

New England at Green Bay features the two best teams with the most potent offenses in the NFL at the moment.

It’s being billed in some quarters as a Super Bowl preview and, if so, watch how Pats coach Bill Belichick and Packers counterpart Mike McCarthy react to each other’s moves. If nothing else, this meeting figures to be an important test of their wills.

Belichick is the NFL’s version of a mad scientist, a strategist who’s willing to overhaul his game plan every week, in part because he has quarterback Tom Brady to anchor the offense and enough mix-and-match defenders to play a variety of schemes.

McCarthy, too, has proved plenty adaptable during his nine seasons in charge at Green Bay. But his coaching philosophy was

Gottfried and quarterback guru Paul Hackett. Stints as an NFL assistant in Kansas City, Green Bay, New Orleans and San Francisco followed before McCarthy returned to Green Bay in 2006.

Given the chance to draw up his own game plans, McCarthy went back to his Baker roots.

Bill Mike Preparing for a BelichickBelichick McCarthy coached team is tricky, as New England’s seven straight wins formed early in his career, and attest.

NFL matchups Patriots (9-2) at Packers (8-3) Time: 2:25 p.m.

When New England coach Bill Belichick was asked about similarities between Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers, he said deadpan, “They both wear No. 12.”

Asked if he could expand on the comparison, Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said, “They’re both from California.”

It is good to know that if these Super Bowl-winning coaches ever fall on hard times, they can always form a standup act together.

Much of the focus on this game will be on each team’s quarterback, but on a cold afternoon at Lambeau Field, the hottest team in the NFL will enter the hostile territory of the game’s best home team, and it may be something to behold.

Helping matters considerably for the Patriots is a return to the two-tight-end system that Belichick was perfecting in 2011 but had to put in storage when Aaron Hernandez ran into injury problems, then was released after his arrest on a murder charge.

In Hernandez’s place as the counterbalance to Rob Gronkowski is Tim Wright, a tight end acquired in the trade that sent Logan Mankins, a six-time Pro Bowl guard, to Tampa Bay. Wright and Gronkowski have combined for 81 catches, 1,032 yards and 15 touchdowns, and their size and versatility give Brady options in any climate.

Line: Packers by 3.

Pick: Patriots.

Broncos (8-3) at Chiefs (7-4) Time: 6:30 p.m.

Kansas City’s defeating Seattle and losing to Oakland in backto-back games was confusing, at best. The shocking loss knocked the Chiefs out of first place in the AFC West, then they received awful news: Eric Berry, a Pro Bowl safety, will miss the rest of the season with what the team believes is lymphoma. It was a lot to absorb, but with a prime-time matchup at home against first-place Denver, all hope is not lost. Always a hostile environment for visiting teams, Arrowhead Stadium is expected to cool down into the 20s on Sunday night, and that could spell trouble for the pass-happy Broncos. Even without Berry, the Chiefs have one of the better pass defenses in the NFL. Although Peyton Manning looks for holes in the coverage, he will have to do so on the run from Justin Houston, one of the best pass-rush specialists.

Line: Broncos by 2½.

Pick: Chiefs.

Browns (7-4) at Bills (6-5) Time: 11 a.m.

A huge snowstorm forced Buffalo to play the Jets in a Week 12 home game at Ford Field in Detroit. The stadium rolled out the red carpet, painting Bills logos on the turf and setting up a temporary locker room for them. Now they return to Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, N.Y., where the snow has been cleared. But the Bills might not be all that happy to leave Detroit’s cozy dome if the weather is bad. Their game plan will not change: Run the ball, play solid defense and rely on Kyle Orton to minimize mistakes while scoring enough to win.

Time: 11 a.m.

The last time Carolina won a game was Week 5, but a win at Minnesota, along with losses by Atlanta and New Orleans, would give the Panthers the NFC South lead.

“As crazy as it seems, we still have an opportunity,” coach Ron Rivera said of his team’s chances of winning the division.

Time: 11 a.m.

Baltimore does two things exceptionally well: run the ball and prevent other teams from running the ball. That old-school style of play has served the Ravens well, even if the strong arm of quarterback Joe Flacco seems somewhat wasted. The key has been the emergence of Justin Forsett, a seventh-year running back and a seventhround draft pick in 2008, who had never carried the ball more than 118 times in a season before this one. Forsett has averaged 5.8 yards a carry and has scored seven touchdowns.

The Baltimore defense has done its part, going 21 consecutive games without allowing an opposing running back to rush for 100 yards.

Saints (4-7) at Steelers (7-4) Time: 11 a.m.

Ben Roethlisberger’s passer rating at home this season is 130.5, so high that he could light up the New Orleans defense in a blowout win and still see his rating decline. Having had a chance to regroup after an upset loss to the New York Jets and a narrow win against Tennessee, Pittsburgh will look to continue its offensive dominance at home against a team that seems to have no interest in playing defense.

Line: Steelers by 5.

Pick: Steelers.

Redskins (3-8) at Colts (7-4) Time: 11 a.m.

It is entirely possible that Robert Griffin III has lost the ability to play quarterback, but determining that based on his performance in the last few games seems premature. He has received little protection from his offensive line, and has been sacked 16 times in his last three games. He is no longer as mobile as he once was, so the lack of time for plays to develop has rendered him somewhat useless. Colt McCoy had some luck in a limited stretch this season, but if Washington continues to let opposing defenses run freely in the backfield, it will not matter who plays quarterback.

Line: Colts by 10.

Pick: Colts.

Cardinals (9-2) at Falcons (4-7) Time: 2:05 p.m.

Arizona may have a Super Bowl-quality defense, but its offense in the wake of Carson Palmer’s season-ending injury is poor. The Cardinals have scored 3 points in their last seven quarters, and even a defense as bad as Atlanta’s will probably shut down Drew Stanton and company. No longer invincible at home the way they were as recently as two seasons ago, the Falcons are tied for the NFC South lead despite a poor record and could stay there with a win over the Cardinals, who are in

Panthers (3-7-1) at Vikings (4-7)

Titans (2-9) at Texans (5-6) Time: 11 a.m.

The last time Tennessee quarterback Zach Mettenberger faced Houston, he was making his debut as a starter and was so excited he posted a photo of himself on social media to commemorate the day. J.J. Watt, Houston’s one-man wrecking crew, sacked Mettenberger twice and imitated taking photos of himself in celebration.

Mettenberger has yet to win a game, but has averaged more than 270 yards passing as a starter and may turn into a longterm solution for the Titans even if players like Watt occasionally have to remind him he has a long way to go.

Line: Texans by 7.

Pick: Texans.

Bengals (7-3-1) at Buccaneers (2-9) Time: 11 a.m.

Tampa Bay has few positives to point to, but it seems to have found a touchdown machine in Mike Evans. After spending his college career being on the receiving end of many of Johnny Manziel’s highlight-reel touchdowns at Texas A&M, Evans has proved that his game translates to the NFL with 49 catches and eight touchdowns.

Another loss would make the Buccaneers 0-6 at home.

Line: Bengals by 3½.

Pick: Bengals.

Giants (3-8) at Jaguars (1-10) Time: 11 a.m.

Lost in the hoopla surrounding Odell Beckham Jr.’s circus catch last Sunday was that Dallas won the game. The Giants have collapsed to the point that they are favored to win by less than a touchdown against lowly Jacksonville. If the Jaguars’ defense, which is third in the NFL with 33 sacks, can put enough pressure on Eli Manning, the Giants could be in for an embarrassing loss.

Oakland seemed to catch lightning in a bottle in Week 12, when rookie running back Latavius Murray had four carries for 112 yards in the team’s first win in more than a calendar year. But Murray suffered a concussion during the game, hurting the Raiders’ chance to build a winning streak. The last time they won consecutive games was in October 2012.

NO. 14 WISCONSIN 34, NO. 22 MINNESOTA 24 In Madison, Wis., Melvin Gordon ran for 151 yards and accounted for two scores, and the Badgers overcame a two-touchdown deficit to beat Minnesota and earn a spot in the Big Ten championship game.

NO. 16 GEORGIA TECH 30, NO. 8 GEORGIA 24 (OT) In Athens, Ga., Harrison Butker kicked a career-long 53-yard field goal on the final play of regulation, and D.J. White picked off a pass in overtime to preserve the Yellow Jackets’ win over the Bulldogs.

NO. 23 CLEMSON 35, SOUTH CAROLINA 17 In Clemson, S.C., Artavis Scott had two long touchdown catches, Wayne Gallman ran for 191 yards and Clemson ended a five-game losing streak to its in-state rival.

NO. 24 LOUISVILLE 44, KENTUCKY 40 In Louisville, Ky., Brandon Radcliff ran 4 yards for a touchdown with 2:47 remaining and safety Gerod Holliman had an NCAA record-tying 14th interception with 35 seconds left, helping Louisville beat Kentucky.

The College Football Playoff selection committee says it takes injuries into account when judging which teams are worthy of a spot in the final four.

Now chairman Jeff Long and his 11 committee cohorts have a big one to consider.

J.T. Barrett, Ohio State’s fabulous redshirt freshman quarterback, broke his right ankle in the second half of the Buckeyes’ 42-28 victory against Michigan.

Ohio State took a while to shed its bitter and beleaguered rivals to the north. It was 21-all midway through the third quarter, but Ohio State scored three straight touchdowns to put the game away, the final two after Barrett was carted off with an aircast on his leg.

The injury cast a shadow on a thrilling rivalry Saturday brimming with playoff implications.

Ohio State is currently in a contest between TCU and Baylor trying to secure the fourth playoff spot. Mississippi State was in that mix, too, but a 31-17 loss at Mississippi dealt the Bulldogs’ playoff hopes a death blow.

Alabama, Oregon and Florida State appear to be in control of the first three spots.

Ohio State’s performance against Michigan was OK. The bigger question is: What now?

The Buckeyes will play in the Big Ten championship game next week against either Wisconsin or Minnesota. It’s their last chance to impress the committee. Their resume has one excellent victory (at Michigan State) and another very good one (at Minnesota).

If the Buckeyes add another one without Barrett, how will the committee view them? Sure, the panel factors in injuries, but in a subjective process where just about everything is taken into account, how — and how much — is impossible to quantify.

Ohio State cannot be as good with Barrett’s replacement, Cardale Jones. Does that leave the committee less likely to advance the Buckeyes?

Or, if Ohio State can beat a very good team without Barrett, does that prove the Buckeyes are even more worthy?

Another quarterback went down later Saturday. Baylor star Bryce Petty missed a chunk of the Bears’ 48-46 victory against Texas Tech with a concussion.

With a week to go before the final rankings are released and the playoff field is set, the committee’s decision just got tougher.

Iron: Highest-scoring Iron Bowl Continued from Page D-1 Mississippi State, 31-17.

The playoff positioning came into question after a slow start, but the Tide offense succeeded where the defense failed.

The rivalry that produced last season’s most memorable play — Auburn’s 109-yard return of a missed field goal on the final play — this time turned into a shootout. It

showcased Sims-to-Cooper and Marshall-to-Coates with plenty of runs as well.

Auburn gained 630 yards against the SEC’s top defense.

Lane Kiffin’s Alabama offense racked up 539 yards.

The previous high score in the Iron Bowl came in 1969, a 49-26 Auburn victory. This one trounced that total.

Cooper, who had 13 catches, gained 141 yards in the third quarter alone. Coates scored

on touchdowns of 34 and 68 yards on five catches for Auburn. Teammate D’haquille Williams, who had missed the past two games with a knee injury, gained 121 yards on seven catches.

Alabama’s T.J. Yeldon ran for 127 yards and a pair of scores. The SEC’s top rushing defense made it hard going for the No. 1 rusher, holding Auburn’s Cameron ArtisPayne to 77 yards on 25 runs.

Secrets to saving on energy costs The New Mexican

A

ccording to the New Mexico Gas Go. Home Energy Analyzer, I live in one of the least efficient townhomes in my Santa Fe neighborhood and could save $1,150 a year in energy costs with a few upgrades.

The analyzer, launched this month on the New Mexico Gas Co. website, is a nifty program that helps customers estimate the efficiency of their dwellings and how to save money. It also provides information about rebates available for upgrading to more energy-efficient appliances, insulation and heating or cooling systems.

While the solutions offered are a bit generic and limited, it is still helpful for a quick look at ways to reduce heating costs during the winter. Replacing old energy guzzling appliances, water heaters and heating systems cost a bit, but have the most return on an investment, according to energyefficiency advocates. Increasing insulation in crawl spaces and attics is another way to reduce heating and cooling bills.

While the suggestions for my half of a

the thermostat are all simple things a renter can do to reduce gas and electricity bills.

Low-income households can qualify for help weatherizing their homes.

Homewise, the nonprofit home advocacy group, also works to make available lowinterest loans for energy-efficient appliances, heating and cooling systems, windows or to install solar photovoltaics. The energy savings offsets the cost of the loan.

But for renters, the big stuff that saves the most in utility bills requires buy-in from landlords.

Both Public Service Company of New Mexico and New Mexico Gas Co. offer rebate options property owners, businesses and renters can tap into.

Some of the rebates offered by New Mexico Gas include up to $500 to install higher-value insulation. Up to $375 is offered to install more energy-efficient furnaces and tankless water heaters.

PNM offers a $50 rebate on old refrigerators and a rebate on some cooling systems.

PERMACULTURE IN PRACTICE NATE DOWNEY

Focus on water for a secure future ‘‘A

nyone who can solve the problems of water will be worthy of two Nobel Prizes,” President John F. Kennedy opined more than half a century ago, “one for peace and one for science.” Given that problems create economic opportunity, JKF might have suggested a prize trifecta — for peace, science and economics. Unfortunately, the Nobel in Economics Sciences had not yet been established.

The problem with the water-harvesting industry is that the price of a cistern is often compared to the price of tap water from community water systems.

Community systems are often used to explain the economic term natural monopoly. Natural monopolies sell products and services without competition because competition would increase production costs. It’s cheaper to share one system of underground pipes than it would be to pay for multiple pipeide al Estate Gu Santa Fe Re matrices under every street or to drill and maintain multiple individual wells under every property in a development. Although natural monopolies are usually highly subsidized, their monopolistic tendencies make economic sense when water sources are 100 percent reliable.

A Fortunately, opportunity A D -C O N T E Me PcoOmRm R T is grounded in another Th economic term, diversity.

Diversity is an important part of building a healthy investment portfolio. Eggs, MORE HOME like investments, are often This column runs best put in a variety of regularly in Home, baskets, but rarely do we Santa Fe Real consider the importance of Estate Guide. Look diversity when it comes to for Home inside water — a resource more The New Mexican basic than eggs or money. every first Sunday For this reason, wherever of the month and water systems are less than at www.santafe 100 percent reliable, oppornewmexican. com/life/home. tunity for water-resilient real estate development exists. These days, many conventional water supplies — from municipal systems to private wells — are not meeting demand, and this trend is only increasing. As resources become less dependable, ratepayers face water-use restrictions and mounting fees, while well owners face the costs of drilling ever deeper for water that may not be there.

Rain harvesting, on-site wastewater recycling and passive water harvesting all represent ways to diversify when it comes to water-needy properties. Here’s how water-wise investments in your land can pay off later: u Wherever water resources are perceived as limited, any real property with a working water-harvesting system is likely to increase in value by potentially providing vital resources when other supplies are either restricted or unavailable. u Cost savings can also be realized whenever community lines are distant and well drilling is difficult. u Regionally, land prices tend to increase due to the higher quality of life generated by tree-lined streets, healthy gardens and parks, and thriving community watersheds. u Rain capture has the potential to significantly reduce sediment levels in stormwater. This reduces reservoir dredging, water treatment and other costs associated with community water systems. u Less sediment also means less soil erosion. This elevates agricultural productivity, improves wildlife habitat and reduces upkeep expenditures for infrastructure.

Even though some water-systems managers would be content to wait for silver-bullet solutions to come from Nobel laureates, water-challenged property owners from California to Texas would be wise to take responsibility for their water portfolios and make them stronger and more diverse with water harvesting.

Need a fresh look? Clean out and rearrange items on display

By Melissa Rayworth The Associated Press

D

esigners often surprise their clients by sharing a secret: You can dramatically change the look of a room simply by changing or rearranging the items on your bookshelves and tabletops.

Just as fashion accessories can have a big impact on an outfit, the items you display on shelves and tables can have a powerful effect on the style of any room.

Yet we often pay little attention to these spaces. Shelves get cluttered with stuff we’ve gotten as gifts or things we’re not sure where to store.

Think about “how the items you’re displaying will continue the story you’re trying to tell in your space,” advises designer Brian Patrick Flynn, founder of the Flynnside Out design blog.

A little editing of your collection can help banish clutter, and putting different items in the spotlight can reveal fresh combinations of things you already own.

Begin by exploring photos of bookshelves and tables on Pinterest, or other websites or magazines, suggests interior designer Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design in Los Angeles. You may find you’re more drawn to sparse, streamlined surfaces than you’d expected. Or you may love the look of surfaces decorated with items in one color scheme.

Once you’ve got some ideas bubbling, it’s time to dive in.

Clear, then classify First, empty all the shelves and tables from one or several rooms of

Clutter: Paring down items necessary

Pottery Barn is debuting a faux fur place mat for the holidays.

Is it cozy or cave man?

Continued from Page E-1

POTTERY BARN

Faux fur: Cozy and guilt-free

By Jura Koncius The Washington Post

What’s that furry thing beneath the dinner plate in the Pottery Barn holiday catalogue?

It’s a faux-fur place mat, the latest home product to be made of that soft, luxurious fabric that makes you want to pet it.

Throws made of faux fur have been popular for years and are now a staple for the winter months, along with fake fur coats. “As the world gets crazier and crazier, our homes more than ever are places that we want to feel coddled,” says Newell Turner, editor in chief of House Beautiful, who has faux wolf and fox throws at his place in the Catskills. “They feel fantastic. Since they are faux, I don’t feel guilty.”

At Restoration Hardware, faux fur is a seasonal star, and the retailer’s 2014 holiday book notes that it’s been refining faux fur for 30 years, calling it “ultrasoft, cozy and with all the weight and nuanced shading of the real thing.”

Every year there seems to be more and more faux mink, chinchilla and fox to fling about: pillows, ottomans, wine bags and bean bags. It’s sold at Frontgate and Wal-Mart and you’ll find faux-fur snow leopard throws at West Elm, Nate Berkus white faux-fur stools for Target and blankets of fuzzy faux giraffe at Pier 1 Imports.

“Our customers can’t get enough. It just keeps growing every year,” says Jenn Kline,

Pottery Barn’s head designer, whose office is piled with samples of “fabulous faux-fur throws.”

The store has faux fur dog beds, duffel bags, hot water bottle covers, tree skirts and Christmas stockings. “Fur in America used to be a very unattainable thing. Fur was a luxury item you would have to invest a lot of money in,” Kline says.

“Now everyone can have fur.”

Although some animal activists are against faux fur because they say it draws attention to real fur and makes it more fashionable, it’s probably a relatively guilt-free and affordable choice.

At Restoration Hardware, you can even buy your dog his own mini fur throw of faux wolf or mink. Or you can dress him in a faux fur doggie vest, a dog dressed in wolf’s clothing.

New York designer Alexa Hampton writes in an email, “I think faux fur is so popular because it satisfies an almost innate desire for a deep, comforting texture that is simply not provided by anything but fur. Naturally, or unnaturally as the pun demands, faux fur is the caring alternative.”

But back to those place mats, which frankly freaked out a colleague who brought them to my attention. Kline says having a bit of fur on the table “helps create a winter wonderland environment.”

But some style watchers think faux fur has its place, and it’s not at the table. “That’s a little too cave man for me,” Turner says.

your home. Place all the items on the floor or perhaps on an empty dining table. Begin grouping them however you wish: by color, texture, type of object or any other classification.

Look for patterns. You might find, for example, that you have several items relating to animals, or more pieces of brass or stone than you realized, says designer Molly Luetkemeyer of M. Design Interiors in Los Angeles.

Eliminate things that aren’t your taste anymore or don’t fit the room. We tend to add to our shelves and tables over time, Burnham says, so paring down from time to time is necessary.

Luetkemeyer agrees: “You can’t use what you have if you can’t see what you have,” she says. “So you kind of have to be merciless.”

If it’s hard to eliminate anything, invite a friend to help.

And if getting rid of things permanently is tough, simply box up items that aren’t working and put them away for a few months. Or loan them to a friend.

Look inside Before putting anything back on the shelves, consider painting a bookshelf’s interior, or covering the wall behind an open bookshelf with wallpaper or another wall covering.

“The back panels of builtins and bookshelves act just like backdrops to a TV set or a stage,” says Flynn. “I usually paint the back panels the same colors as a room’s walls, or I use wallpaper or grasscloth to introduce texture and cre-

ate visual tension between the graphic shapes of books, picture frames and objects.”

Once you’ve prepared that canvas, it’s time to begin putting stuff back.

Mix and match Besides clustering some items by color, subject matter or material, also think about shape and height. And don’t be

afraid to mix art objects with books, or decorative boxes with vases of flowers.

“For every stack of books I add to a shelf,” Flynn says, “I like to have at least two interesting objects to offset the linearity.”

All three designers suggest varying the orientation of your books’ spines. “I like to stack some vertically and anchor them with book ends or objects,” Flynn says, “and then I stack some horizontally and use them as risers to showcase frames or trinkets, kind of like makeshift pedestals.”

Burnham suggests gathering smaller items in decorative trays or bowls.

“One of the most interesting ways to define space on a coffee table or sideboard is using trays,” she says. To bring style to a coffee table, stack several books on a large decorative tray, then “have a smaller tray where you put your TV remotes. You’re making the mundane stuff orderly, you’re giving it some form, and you’re actually corralling it and making sense of it.”

Take time to experiment with each shelf or table. Again, consider the story the room is telling.

“If you’re someone who’s a world traveler, keep things totally random and collected, or arranged artfully like a curated gallery collection,” Flynn says. “If you’re all about a color scheme, layer objects so that the colors continue to finish the room’s palette. But make sure you slightly throw the colors off, so it’s not super matchy.”

Large furniture can 2 overwhelm living room

SFCC HEALTH CARE CAREER INFO SESSION. Looking for a job in

By Tim McKeough The New York Times

Question: What’s the best way to accessorize a sofa and coffee table in a small living room?

Answer: The living room is the heart of most homes, so it’s a crucial space to stage when you’re preparing to sell. The first thing you need to consider is the scale of your sofa and coffee table, said Mark Neuwirth, a senior associate real estate broker at Coldwell Banker Bellmarc in Manhattan.

“It’s very important for the coffee table and couch to be appropriately sized for the space,” he said.

If you have a modest-size room, he said, big furniture can make it look even smaller. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen living rooms overwhelmed with big pieces,” he said. That can create a negative impression at showings, and in your listing photos as well, which could result in potential buyers ruling out your home without ever seeing it in person.

Assuming the furniture is the right size for the room, you can turn your attention to accessories. Debbie Oulvey, owner of the home-staging company Amazing Space NYC, suggested starting with a few accent pillows on the sofa.

In a large home, “patterned pillows are one of my favorite things to do,” Oulvey said. “But if you have a small space, you need to keep everything very neutral.” Otherwise it may look busy or cluttered, and that also makes a room look smaller. She recommended choosing pillows in a solid color or a tone-ontone pattern.

For a sleek, modern sofa, she said, “you could do two oblong pillows.” If you have a traditional sofa with a high back, try putting square pillows in the corners. “But not too big: 18 to 20 inches max,” she said.

Adding a throw made from a soft or textured material like cashmere or faux fur will lend a sense of warmth, Oulvey said, but make sure it coordinates with the pillows. “As long as everything is in the same color family, you should be fine,” she said. “It won’t look too choppy.”

If you have a small coffee table, she recommended leaving it more or less bare. You could put a single plant or flower arrangement on it, but “don’t use a big vase with a gigantic floral arrangement,” she said, because that will block sightlines. “Maybe do an orchid, because you can see through it.”

Hi, my name is: Peanut...If wine gets better with age, then you can bet that Peanut is one fiiiiiinnnnneeee guy. I’m older than you’d expect with this spunky little personality but that don’t hinder me much. Soft food is my favorite... seeing as how I have had to lose a couple teeth I just can’t eat those crunchies like I used to. Laps and hugs are two of my other favorite things next to sleeping in warm beds and cuddling with my human.

THE NEW MEXICAN Sunday, November 30, 2014

TIME OUT

Mythunderstood

Y

Horoscope HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Nov. 30, 2014: This year you often enjoy your private time even more. You have an unusually spontaneous yet fun personality. Many of you will consider going back to school, traveling or taking a workshop in order to learn more. Through this experience, you could meet someone who opens new doors. If you are single, romance will be intense but not necessarily enduring.

Realize that a lot of the excitement comes from the instability of change. If you are attached, you often might plan a special adventure together. Aries knows how to draw out your playful personality.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You might feel rather out of it despite everything you try to do. Instead of fighting this feeling, you could decide to give in to it and just relax. Make it OK to get in a nap. By late afternoon, you’ll be the empowered Aries everyone loves. Tonight: Say little; listen a lot.

This Week: Take charge and work with others Monday and Sunday.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Zero in on your priorities, which could be as simple as meeting friends for a late brunch. It is time to take a break from catering to family and friends in order to do more of what you want. Refuse to let others get used to taking advantage of you. Tonight: Not to be found!

This Week: Maintain a low profile.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You’ll want to stay on top of a personal matter regardless of how uncomfortable it might be.

Others might ask a lot of questions as to why you are making the present choices. Make plans with friends. Tonight: Continue whatever you are doing.

This Week: You might be delighted by some good luck.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Make your round of Sunday calls to those you rarely get to see. You will enjoy hearing about their holiday. You might want to arrange a visit with one of these special people in your life. Tonight: Squeeze every fun moment out of this weekend.

This Week: You could be put in a position where you need to take the lead.

Last week’s answers

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH You’ll want to try a different approach. You could hear some news that causes you some stress, but not for long. You have the capability of intervening, should you so choose. This decision needs to be yours and yours alone. Tonight: Don’t take a child’s words to heart.

This Week: Defer to a creative person.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others love commanding the moment, and you are kind enough to allow that to happen.

A child or loved one might tap into your playfulness. A serious conversation will bring you back to reality. Tonight: Make the first move.

This Week: A partner could be acting very strangely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You might want to become involved in some kind of physical activity. Get into some yard work or decide to join friends for a fun outing. A change of pace will revive you as well as those around you. Use caution with spending. Tonight: Out and about.

This Week: You know what makes people tick.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your imagination is likely to delight a loved one. Together, you might decide to take off on a flight of fantasy or have fun making a holiday shopping list.

The kind of laughter you create could be very healing. Tonight:

Admit that you are tired, and make it an early night.

This Week: Don’t be surprised if you need to take a break by midweek.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You might want to call this a lazy day and sleep in. You could have difficulty doing this, however, as a friend might decide to drop by unexpectedly. You also might not really want to be alone. A loved one will delight you with his or her ideas. Tonight: Act as if there is no tomorrow.

This week: Put up the mistletoe quickly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Return calls and touch base with someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. As a result, you could decide to make plans to go out for a movie and an early dinner. A child or someone who is childlike might amuse you with his or her imagination.

Tonight: Call it early.

This Week: Consider a home-based business.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Expenses will add up quickly, so keep a close eye on your spending. You’ll want to enjoy the holiday and also be able to go out. Make a call later in the day to a relative or neighbor whom you always love talking to. Tonight: Meet several friends out for dinner.

This Week: Express your thoughts.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You will feel in the spirit of the moment, but if you look around, many of your friends and family members might have disappeared. The fatigue of Thanksgiving celebrations could be getting the best of them. Use the afternoon for some holiday shopping. Tonight: Your treat.

This Week: Stay within your budget.

New York Times Sunday Crossword

ou know those Five Myths About ... feature stories that have been proliferating in the media for years?

The Washington Post was among the pioneers of the genre and remains one of its most illustrious practitioners.

Are you sick of them yet? No? Good! Here’s one more.

Five Myths About Five Myths About Stories Myth 1: If these stories are so ubiquitous, they must be good.

You would think so, wouldn’t you?

But you would be falling for a fallacy that applies to most things involving the intersection of public tastes and quality. Consider that over the past several years, three of the best-selling nonfiction books were enthusiastic travelogues by people who claimed to have Gene briefly died and visited heaven. (Spoiler Weingarten alert: There are rainbow-colored horses The Washington and giant butterflies upon which you Post can ride!) The fact is, people like to read about things that make them feel good.

One such thing is learning that you are smarter than other people, who are deluded enough to believe myths that you now know are false.

Myth 2: All interesting subjects have exactly five myths associated with them, never more or less.

This also seems logical. However, after exhaustive research we have discovered that on June 5, 2014, a man named James Holland wrote a piece for CNN revealing six myths about the Normandy invasion. We have it on good authority that Mr. Holland was immediately taken out back and shot by secret operatives of the Five Myths About media cartel.

Myth 3: Five Myths stories are always written by Jewish people.

You are probably thinking, wait a minute — no one ever assumed these stories are always written by Jewish people, so how could this be an exploded myth? And you would be right. But that headline is actually a way to get into the real subject of this item, which is myth inflation. Because of the need to come up with no fewer than five myths, many of these stories seem to stretch for that last one or two, usually by inventing a “myth” that is not exactly universally believed. For example, in July USA Today produced a story on five myths about flight attendants. It included the myth that you should tip flight attendants for good service. I’ll warrant that no one has ever held this assumption, at least not since the Mad Men era, when flight attendants were all named Candi, wore revealing uniforms, were expected to cheerfully answer to “babe” and, if you asked, would probably have to sit in your lap.

Myth 4: It is not possible to find another such weak, stretchy example of a supposed myth.

Au contraire! A recent five myths story in the Poughkeepsie Journal about spring cleaning revealed that, contrary to widespread belief, it is unwise to use old newspapers to clean glass and countertops, instead of paper towels or rags.

Using newspapers is a bad idea, the article solemnly disclosed, because it turns out newspapers contain a great deal of smeary black ink!

Myth 5: Five Myths About stories are in decline.

No such luck. They are proliferating at a faster rate than ever, at least in part because of the “Bond, James Bond” Phenomenon. The “B, JB” P establishes how familiarity alone can explain the public’s insatiable appetite for comforting if inane things. The meaningless “B, JB” line arrives predictably in every Bond film, helping to fuse them all together in your mind. For viewers of a certain age, this creates an illusion of timelessness, momentarily allowing him or her to forget that this movie series has spanned three generations, meaning that they are inexorably aging even as James does not. Thus are their minds relieved, momentarily, of the existential fear of approaching senescence and the inevitability of death — which, despite assurances to the contrary, they strongly suspect holds no hope of an eternal life with butterflies and rainbows. In short, Five Myths About stories, and their subtly comforting ilk, ain’t going nowhere.
