SPANISH COLONIAL ARTS SOCIETY
Winter Market moves to Duke City Change in venue doesn’t concern city tourism official, but some artists criticize decision
By Julie Ann Grimm
The New Mexican
Santa Fe won’t host the Spanish Colonial Arts Society’s Winter Spanish Market later this year because organizers opted to move the event to an Albuquerque hotel. The society’s annual summer Spanish Market is one of Santa Fe’s major tourism events, drawing some 40,000 visitors
to the Plaza, and this year’s 62nd annual market, showcasing the traditional art, is planned for July 27-28. The Winter Market, however, is only 25 years old. It has less attendance and far fewer participating artists. The indoor market in recent years has been held at the Santa Fe Community Convention Center in early December. But the 2013 Winter Spanish Market
is scheduled at the Hotel Albuquerque for Nov. 29-30, at the start of the postThanksgiving holiday shopping season. While Santa Fe depends on tourist shoppers and ski visitors in the late fall and winter, the marketing director for the Santa Fe Convention and Visitors Bureau said she doesn’t believe the change of

here won’t be a shortage of ways to celebrate Independence Day throughout Northern New Mexico on Thursday — with plenty of events offering food, fireworks and baseball. And with just a 30 percent to 40 percent chance of isolated thunderstorms throughout the day, weather doesn’t stand a large chance of putting a damper on festivities planned in and around the City Different. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Fe is hosting its annual fireworks show at the Municipal Recreation Complex — a move from Ivan Head Stadium at Santa
Fe High, where the show usually is held, because of an artificial turf installation project. Parking for the show will be in the lot north of the complex’s soccer field for a $5 donation. The show will start at 5 p.m., with local bands scheduled to play until dusk, when the fireworks will launch from the rugby field. Organizers are discouraging tailgating and ask people not to bring outside food or drink, since a concession stand will be operating inside the park. The annual Pancakes on the Plaza event will be held earlier in the day Thursday. Food service, children’s activities, a silent auction, an arts and crafts show and

U.S. has edge in game of cyberspying By Raphael Satter
The Associated Press
LONDON — The saga of Edward Snowden and the NSA makes one thing clear: The United States’ central role in developing the Internet and hosting its most powerful players has made it the global leader in the surveillance game. Other countries, from dictatorships to democracies, are also avid snoopers, tapping into the highcapacity fiber-optic cables to intercept Internet traffic, scooping their citizens’ data off domestic servers, and even launching cyberattacks to win access to foreign networks. But experts in the field say that Silicon Valley has made America a surveillance superpower, allowing its spies access to massive mountains of data being collected by the world’s leading communications,

A national business publication has ranked Gov. Susana Martinez next to last among governors in terms of job Susana creation. Martinez The Business Journals — the online media division of American City Business Journals, which consists of 40 weekly print papers around the country specializing in business news — published what it calls an On Numbers report last week. The New Mexican reported in early January that New Mexico was last in the nation in terms of job growth between January 2010 and September 2012. Martinez’s office responded Tuesday that the slow job growth is linked to New Mexico’s economy being “far too dependent on federal spending.” Report author G. Scott Thomas cautioned, “Experts can (and do) argue about the the ability of any governor to manipulate a state’s economy. Many are downright skeptical. …
