U.S. ends 3 decades of silence with Iran

Obama, Rouhani agree to negotiate a deal on Iranian nuke program By Scott Wilson and Colum Lynch The Washington Post

WASHINGTON — Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was on his way to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York about 2:30 p.m. Friday when the phone rang in his car. President Barack Obama was on the line from the Oval Office, and the two men spoke for 15 minutes, ending a decades-long Hassan Rouhani diplomatic freeze. No U.S. leader had spoken with an Iranian president since the Islamic revolution ousted the U.S.-backed shah in 1979. At a news briefing at the White House, Obama told reporters that the two agreed to direct their negotiating teams to seek a deal over Iran’s uranium enrichment program, which the United States, Israel and other nations believe is cover to develop nuclear weapons. Iranian officials have denied that intent. “The very fact that this was the first communication between an

or generations, the Frito pie has been a culinary staple for New Mexicans and tourists visiting the Santa Fe Plaza. But television viewers who tune into food critic Anthony Bourdain’s Sunday evening show on CNN will hear him disparage the “World Famous” Frito pies sold at the Five & Dime General Store’s snack bar. He says they feel disgusting, are indig-

enous to Texas and hazardous to one’s health. Even worse, he charges during this weekend’s episode of Parts Unknown that the snack bar makes its version of the dish with canned Hormel Chili and a “day-glow orange cheese-like substance.”

The store’s owners, employees and patrons say Bourdain got it wrong. “How can this man ever say that? That’s ridiculous. No way!” said Connie Lanyon-Roberts, who grew up in Santa Fe but has lived in Queensland, Australia, for the past nine years. She drops by the Plaza for a Frito pie when she’s in town visiting.

A behavioral health advocacy group claims there may be hundreds of clients who are no longer receiving services as a result of the state’s decision last summer to suspend Medicaid funding to 15 providers. The Coalition of New Mexicans Fighting to Save Behavioral Health sent out a news release Friday saying its informal survey of five of the original 15 providers indicates many clients are going without services

since the state turned the job over to five Arizona-based companies. Those Arizona firms have rehired only about 60 percent of the furloughed or laid-off employees from the New Mexico companies, rather than the 85 percent promised, the group claims. The survey is based on interviews with former employees of the New Mexico providers who are in contact with the Arizona firms, the news release notes. Matt Kennicott, a spokesman for the Human Services Department, said Friday that the group’s claims are inaccurate. “I don’t know of any consumers going without services,” he said. “If there are, we need to know about it right away so we can make sure they

LOS ANGELES—The world’s leading climate scientists have for the first time established a limit on the amount of greenhouse gases that can be released before the Earth reaches a tipping point and predicted that it will be surpassed within decades unless swift action is taken to curb the current pace of emissions. The warning was issued Friday by a panel of U.N.-appointed climate change experts meeting in Stockholm. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimated that once a total of 1 trillion tons of carbon dioxide are emitted into atmosphere, the planet will exceed 3.6 degrees of warming, the internationally agreedupon threshold to the worst effects of climate change. “We’ve burned through half that amount” since preindustrial times, Michael Oppenheimer, a professor
