GWER, Iraq — With U.S. strikes beginning to show clear effects on the battlefield, Kurdish forces counterattacked Sunni militants in northern Iraq on Sunday, regain-

ing control of two strategic towns with aid from the air.

The U.S. airstrikes, carried out by drones and fighter jets, were intended to support the Kurdish forces fighting to defend Irbil, the capital of the Iraqi Kurdistan region, according to a statement by the U.S. Central Command.

They destroyed three military vehicles being used by the militant group, the Islamic State, and damaged others, the statement said, adding that the warplanes also destroyed a mortar position.

The latest politician to rebuild a torched bridge is Aubrey Dunn, the Republican nominee for New Milan Mexico land comSimonich missioner. Dunn’s Ringside Seat high-profile supporters this year include a former foe, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez.

Dunn called Martinez “disingenuous” in her political maneuvers. He was so upset with the governor that he even asked her to return $5,250 in campaign donations that he had sent her. She kept the money, even as Dunn complained that he was fighting two political parties, including his own.

couple of girls at Acequia Madre Elementary School wanted to help raise awareness about climate change. They began small, with an effort to remove a vending machine from their school to cut down on plastic bottle waste.

Now, as Marina Weber and Joanna Whysner prepare to enter sixth grade at Desert Academy, their Global Warming Express movement is gaining steam and attracting a larger audience, with a youth club, an upcoming children’s book, a two-week kids’ summer camp that began last week, a presentation last month in Denver before Environmental Protection Agency officials and plans for an after-school program.

The girls have enlisted the

help of supportive adults. Former Acequia Madre Principal Bill Beacham ordered the vendor to remove its machine full of plastic bottles; educator Janette Fischer is overseeing the summer camp; and Weber’s mom, Genie Stevens, is helping spearhead the organization. Stevens said she is working with others to raise funds to offer Global Warming Express as an after-school program in both public and private schools this coming school year.

Global Warming Express also has a “grown-up board of advisers” that includes some well-known folks, such as William deBuys, a conservationist and writer; City Councilor Peter Ives; Jill Cooper Udall, an arts advocate, wife of Sen. Tom Udall and former officer of cultural affairs for the state of New Mexico; and Alan Webber, a progressive candidate for governor in

the 2014 Democratic primary.

Fischer, who used to teach at the May Center for the Learning and ran a program called The Mad Scientists Clubhouse — “We blew a lot of things up,” she said — lauded the summer camp’s hands-on approach to teach kids ages 7 to 12 about physical science, biology, geography, sustainability awareness, public speaking and advocacy.

Last Thursday morning, the 10 participants were building models of Earth out of salt, flour and water under Fischer’s watchful eye.

“There’s not much hands-on stuff in school,” said camper Justice Thompson, who attends Aspen Community Magnet School. “They get mad at us for leaving pencil shavings on the floor.”

NATION&WORLD TEEN CHOICE AWARDS

In brief

‘Fault’ stars surf to top

Fighting rages in rebel-held city in eastern Ukraine

By Derrik J. Lang The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort of The Fault in Our Stars are riding a victorious wave at the Teen Choice Awards.

The pair picked up several prizes at Sunday’s fan-favorite extravaganza, including choice drama movie actor and breakout movie star for Elgort and choice drama and action movie actress for Divergent star Woodley.

The pair was also awarded the surfboardshaped trophy for choice lipShailene lock for their Woodley Fault in Our Stars smooch.

“I don’t surf or anything, so I guess I’m gonna put this on my wall,” said Elgort of the unique prize.

Demi Lovato kicked off the Teen Choice Awards with a performance and a win. After belting out her tune “Really Don’t Care,” the singer-actress rode off with award for choice summer song. “I want you guys to know that instead of just getting up here and saying a speech, every single one of you deserves to have a happy and incredible life, so be the best you can be in everything because your dreams can come true if you work hard for them,” Lovato told the roaring crowd of teenagers.

Other winners on hand to claim their trophies included Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale as choice drama TV show actress, The Hunger Games co-star Josh Hutcherson as choice sci-fi/fantasy movie actor and Bethany Mota and Tyler Oakley as choice female and male Web stars.

“You’re all amazing,” said Mota, echoing winners’ motivational acceptance speeches. “You all have the potential to be what you wanna be.”

Teen Choice co-hosts Tyler Posey of Teen Wolf and Sarah Hyland of Modern Family said 165 million votes were cast for the 16th annual awards, which honor movies, television, music, comedy, sports, fashion and Web stars in such silly categories as choice hottie, smile and villain.

A recent water main break flooded the Teen Choice Awards’ original venue at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion and the show was hastily moved across town to the Shrine Auditorium adjacent to the USC campus.

Schools define consent Universities try to set standard for when ‘yes means yes’

By Julie Watson The Associated Press

SAN DIEGO ollege students have heard a similar refrain for years in campaigns to stop sexual assault: No means no.

Now, as universities around the country that are facing pressure over the handling of rape allegations adopt policies to define consensual sex, California is poised to take it a step further. Lawmakers are considering what would be the first-in-the-nation measure requiring all colleges that receive public funds to set a standard for when “yes means yes.”

Defining consensual sex is a growing trend by universities in an effort to do more to protect victims. From the University of California system to Yale, schools have been adopting standards to distinguish when consent was given for a sexual activity and when it was not.

Legislation passed by California’s state Senate in May and coming before the Assembly this month would require all schools that receive public funds for student financial assistance to set a so-called “affirmative consent standard” that could be used in investigating and adjudicating sexual assault allegations. That would be defined as “an affirmative, unambiguous and conscious decision” by each party to engage in sexual activity.

Silence or lack of resistance does not constitute consent. The legislation says it’s also not consent if the person is drunk, drugged, unconscious or asleep. Lawmakers say consent can be nonverbal, and universities with similar policies have outlined examples as maybe a nod of the head or moving in closer to the person.

Several state legislatures, including Maryland, Texas and Connecticut, introduced bills in the past year to push colleges to do more after a White House task force reported that 1 in 5 female college students is a victim of sexual assault. The U.S. Education Department also took the unprecedented step of releasing the names of schools facing federal investigation for the way they handle sexual abuse allegations.

But no state legislation has gone as far as California’s bill in requiring a consent standard.

Critics say the state is overstepping its bounds.

Turkey’s premier is proclaimed winner of presidential election ANKARA, Turkey — Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan won Turkey’s first direct presidential election Sunday, striking a conciliatory tone toward critics who fear he is bent on a power grab as he embarks on another five years at the country’s helm.

“Today the national will win once again, today democracy won once again,” he told thousands of flag-waving, cheering supporters. “Those who didn’t vote for me won as much as those who did, those who don’t like me won as much as those who do.”

The three-term prime minister’s message of unity was in stark contrast to his mostly bitter, divisive election campaign, when he poured scorn on his opponents, cast doubt on their Turkish identity and even accused his main challenger of being part of a shadowy coup conspiracy he said was run by a former associate living in the United States.

“I want to build a new future, as of today, with an understanding of a societal reconciliation, by regarding our differences as richness, and by pointing out not our differences but our common values,” he said.

Erdogan, 60, has dominated Turkish politics for more than a decade. Revered by many as a man of the people who ushered in a period of economic prosperity, he is reviled by others as an increasingly autocratic leader trying to impose his religious and conservative views on a country with strong secular traditions.

Keystone carbon pollution more than feds figured WASHINGTON — A new study concludes that the much-debated Keystone XL pipeline could produce four times more global warming pollution than the State Department calculated this year.

The proposed pipeline would carry oil from tar sands in western Canada to Texas.

The researchers estimate it would increase world carbon by as much as 121 million tons a year, compared with the department’s estimate of 30 million tons.

Study lead author Peter Erickson says the government calculations didn’t take into account that the added oil from the pipeline would drop prices. That would spur consumption, which in turn would mean more pollution. The study was published Sunday by the journal Nature Climate Change.

bill passed the state Senate 27-4 wrote that it raises questions as to whether it is “reasonable” or “enforceable.” The legislation is based on the White House task force’s recommendations.

“It seems extremely difficult and extraordinarily intrusive to micromanage sex so closely as to tell young people what steps they must take in the privacy of their own dorm rooms,” the newspaper said.

Some fear navigating the murky waters of consent spells trouble for universities.

“Frequently these cases involve two individuals, both of whom maybe were under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and it can be very tricky to ascertain whether consent was obtained,” said Ada Meloy, general counsel of the American Council on Education, which represents college presidents.

She said schools need to guarantee a safe environment for students, while law enforcement is best suited for handling more serious sexual assault cases.

John F. Banzhaf III, a George Washington University’s Law School professor, believes having university disciplinary panels interpret vague cues and body language will open the door for more lawsuits.

The legal definition of rape in most states means the perpetrator used force or the threat of force against the victim, but the California legislation could set the stage in which both parties could accuse each other of sexual assault, he said.

“This bill would very, very radically change the definition of rape,” he said.

University of California at Berkeley student Meghan Warner, 20, said that’s a good thing. She said she was sexually assaulted during her freshman year by two men at a fraternity but didn’t report it because she believed “that unless it was a stranger at night with a weapon who attacked you when you were walking home, that it wasn’t rape. It’s just a crappy thing that happened.” She now runs campus workshops to teach students what constitutes consent.

“Most students don’t know what consent is,” she said. “I’ve asked at the workshops how many people think if a girl is blacked out drunk that it’s OK to have sex with her. The amount of people who raised their hands was just startling.”

Defining consent may be easy to do on paper, said Laura Nguyen, a 21-year-old San Diego State University senior, but “we’re talking about college students out at night and the reality is there’s not just ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ There is a lot of in-between. I really think it depends on the situation.”

DONETSK, Ukraine — Fighting raged in the city of Donetsk on Sunday, as government forces continued to close in on the rebel stronghold and pro-Russian insurgents backed away from an unconditional ceasefire offer that they announced just the day before.

With a string of military successes and broad support for its campaign from the West and most of its domestic base, Kiev has taken a hard line against the rebel forces and promised it will only relent when the separatists surrender. Donetsk remained a ghost town on Sunday, with few civilians daring to venture outside as explosions rang out every few minutes and burnt-out buses and buildings smoldered from the night before.

In a statement Saturday, newly elected rebel leader Aleksandr Zakharchenko appeared to call for a ceasefire without stating any preconditions. But on Sunday, rebel spokeswoman Elena Nikitina repeated the rebels’ earlier stance, telling the Associated Press that talks on the conflict could only begin if the Ukrainian army withdrew from the region — something Kiev is unlikely to do. She also denounced the government as “incapable of negotiating.”

Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council spokesman Andriy Lysenko said that the only way for the rebels in Donetsk to save their lives would be to “lay down their arms and give up.” He said the Ukrainian side hadn’t seen the rebels show any real willingness to cooperate.

Israel, Hamas accept cease-fire proposal Second truce in a week will allow for more negotiations

By Mohammed Daraghmeh The Associated Press

CAIRO — Israel and the Hamas militant group accepted an Egyptian cease-fire proposal Sunday, clearing the way for the resumption of talks on a longterm truce to end a month of heavy fighting in the Gaza Strip

that has taken nearly 2,000 lives.

The announcement marked the second time in less than a week that the bitter enemies had agreed to Egyptian mediation. A similar three-day truce last week collapsed in renewed violence over the weekend.

The truce took effect at midnight, preceded by heavy rocket fire toward Israel. In Cairo, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said the cease-fire would allow humanitarian aid into battered Gaza neighborhoods and the reopening of indirect talks on

a more lasting and comprehensive deal. Hamas is seeking an end to the Israeli-Egyptian blockade against Gaza, while Israel wants Hamas to dismantle its formidable arsenal of rockets and other weapons. Palestinian negotiators accepted the proposal early Sunday after meeting with Egyptian officials throughout the weekend. Israeli officials concurred later. Both delegations are back in Cairo.

Qais Abdelkarim, a member of the Palestinian delegation, said indirect talks with the Israelis

would begin Monday “with the hope of reaching a lasting ceasefire.” The goal, he added, was to end the blockade, which he called “the reason for the war.”

The recent fighting has been the heaviest between Israel and Hamas since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007. More than 1,900 Palestinians have been killed, including hundreds of civilians.

On the Israeli side, 67 people have been killed, including three civilians. Nearly 10,000 people have been wounded and thousands of homes destroyed.

Iraqi prime minister plans to file complaint against new president Massoum accused of committing a ‘clear violation’ of the constitution

By Sameer N. Yacoub and Vivian Salama The Associated Press

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s embattled Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, in a surprise speech late Sunday, resisted calls for his resignation and accused the country’s new president of violating the constitution, plunging the government into a political crisis at a time it is battling advances by Islamic State militants.

Al-Maliki is seeking a thirdterm as prime minister, but the latest crisis has prompted even his closest allies to call for his resignation. A parliament session scheduled for Monday to discuss the election and who might lead the next Iraqi government was postponed until Aug. 19.

On Sunday night, in a nationally televised speech, al-Maliki declared he will file a legal complaint against the new president, Fouad Massoum, for committing “a clear constitutional violation.”

Al-Maliki, whose Shiitedominated bloc won the most seats in April elections, accused Massoum of neglecting to name a prime minister from the country’s largest parliamentary faction by Sunday’s deadline. He said the president has violated the constitution “for the sake of political goals.”

Al-Maliki, speaking on Iraqi TV for the first time since U.S. forces launched airstrikes and humanitarian airdrops in Iraq last week, said the security situation will only worsen as a result of Massoum’s actions.

“This attitude represents a coup on the constitution and the political process in a country that is governed by a democratic and federal system,” al-Maliki said. “The deliberate violation of the constitution by the president will have grave consequences on the unity, the sovereignty, and the independence of Iraq and the entry of the political process into a dark tunnel.

The political infighting could hamper efforts to stem advances by Sunni militants

who have seized a large swath of northern and western Iraq in recent weeks.

President Barack Obama warned Americans on Saturday that the new campaign to bring security in Iraq requires military and political changes and “is going to be a long-term project.” Obama said Iraqi security forces need to revamp to effectively mount an offensive, which requires a government in Baghdad that the Iraqi military and people have confidence in.

Obama said Iraq needs a prime minister — an indication that suggests he’s written off the legitimacy of the incumbent, al-Maliki.

Critics say the Shiite leader contributed to the crisis by monopolizing power and pursuing a sectarian agenda that alienated the country’s Sunni and Kurdish minorities.

After al-Maliki’s speech, Brett

McGurk, a deputy assistant secretary of state for Iraq and Iran, expressed support for Massoum.

“Fully support President of Iraq Fuad Masum as guarantor of the Constitution and a PM nominee who can build a national consensus,” McGurk tweeted.

The U.S. airstrikes have reinvigorated Kurdish forces battling the Islamic State militants in northern and western Iraq. Kurdish forces retook two towns from the Sunni militants on Sunday, achieving one of their first victories after weeks of retreating, a senior Kurdish military official said.

Kurdish peshmerga fighters were able to push the militants of the Islamic State group out of the villages of Makhmour and al-Gweir, some 28 miles from the Kurdish capital of Irbil, Brig.

Iraq: Fighters open path for Yazidis to escape siege Continued from Page A-1 armed trucks lay twisted and scorched in Gwer, one of the recaptured towns, a few hours after the strikes, and body parts from at least three militants were scattered nearby. Kurdish militiamen, known as peshmerga, confirmed seeing the airstrikes, and celebrated Sunday afternoon near the stillsmoldering wrecks.

The U.S. air support encouraged the Kurdish militiamen to reverse the momentum of the recent fighting and retake Gwer and the other town, Mahmour, both within a halfhour’s drive of Irbil, according to Gen. Helgurd Hikmet, head of the peshmerga’s media office. Hikmet said some peshmerga fighters had pushed on beyond the two towns, which lie on the frontier between the Arab and Kurdish areas of Iraq.

The developments came as political tensions mounted in Baghdad.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki went on state television early Monday and redoubled his demands for a new term.

U.S. air power in the north also appeared to alter the situation at Mount Sinjar, where members of the Yazidi ethnic and religious minority have been driven into rough country by an Islamic State dragnet. Four U.S. airstrikes on the extremists surrounding the mountain Saturday, along with airdrops of food, water and supplies, helped Yazidi and Kurdish fighters beat back militants and open a path for thousands of Yazidis to escape the siege. The escapees made their way Sunday through Syrian territory to Fishkhabour, an Iraqi border town under Kurdish control.

Tens of thousands more Yazidis remain trapped on the mountain,

and U.S. officials cautioned that the limited airstrikes alone could not open a corridor to safety for them.

Neither, they said, would the U.S. airstrikes be the decisive factor in the fight to stop the Islamic State.

“This is a focused effort, not a wider air campaign,” said Col. Ed Thomas, spokesman for the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin E. Dempsey. “It’s important to understand that our military objectives are limited in purpose.”

President Barack Obama and other U.S. officials have said that more ambitious U.S. support would be predicated on the Iraqi political leadership breaking a long political deadlock and appointing a new prime minister, one who would head a more inclusive government than the Shiite-dominated administration of al-Maliki, and could reach a political settlement with Iraq’s disaffected Sunni population.

But the political crisis deepened at midnight Sunday as a deadline expired for President Fouad Massoum to choose a nominee for prime minister. Al-Maliki angrily accused Massoum of violating the constitution by not choosing him. “I will complain to the federal court,” al-Maliki said.

One senior Iraqi official said alMaliki had also positioned more tanks and extra units of specialforces soldiers loyal to him in the fortified Green Zone of government buildings in Baghdad overnight.

The official said al-Maliki had “gone out of his mind, and lives on a different planet — he doesn’t appreciate the mess he has created.”

A Kurdish news agency reported that presidential guards were “on high alert to protect the presidential palace,” and the capital swirled with

rumors about what might happen next.

In Washington late Sunday, a senior administration official said that the United States had not confirmed reports of abrupt military movements in Baghdad, including rumors that tanks had surrounded the presidential palace, but that it would monitor the situation closely.

Although the U.S. airstrikes have been narrow in scope, their effects were on clear display Sunday.

“For sure, the airstrikes have buoyed the spirits of the fighters and the civilians, and they’re all very happy,” said Dick Naab, a retired American colonel who acts as an informal adviser to the peshmerga.

Peshmerga forces retook Gwer around midday, pushing through the town center and methodically searching for snipers, stragglers and booby traps that the Islamic State might have left behind. The main threat turned out to be north of the town. In three spots a mile apart, Islamic State fighters had concealed trucks of a type used by the Iraqi army, mounted with machine guns.

According to peshmerga accounts, when those trucks emerged around 3 p.m. from hiding places in farmhouses and barns near the highway in an apparent attempt to attack the Kurds from the rear, American jet fighter-bombers streaked in and blew up the trucks with cannon fire and bombs.

“With the support of the Air Force of the United States, we are winning now,” said Taha Ahmed, a Kurdish volunteer fighter and an activist with the Kurdish Democratic Party.

Both Gwer and Mahmour are about 20 miles from Irbil, and advances by the militants last week briefly panicked residents in Irbil,

which had been regarded as a safe haven. The U.S. airstrikes seemed to have quickly restored confidence, with international flights into Irbil resuming after a pause, and business returning to normal.

Still, a State Department spokeswoman, Marie Harf, said Sunday that some staff members from the consulate in Irbil had been relocated to Basra, in southern Iraq, and Amman, Jordan, because of the security situation.

Cheering truckloads of peshmerga fighters cruised the highway between Irbil and the battle front Sunday, and when word spread in Gwer about the airstrikes here, fighters and civilians gathered, many of them taking celebratory photographs in front of the smoldering trucks.

“Your country has saved the Kurds twice,” said Yassin Mustafa Ahmed, a farmer from Gwer who had fled the militant takeover, referring to the no-fly zone imposed in 1991 and the U.S. invasion in 2003.

Ahmed said he had two sons and two grandsons who were with the peshmerga in Gwer, and two other grandsons and a cousin fighting near the Mosul Dam, which fell to the Islamic State last week. “Now you have to save us again,” he said.

U.S. military officials were uncomfortable with that view, and they cautioned Sunday that there were no plans to expand the air campaign.

At Mount Sinjar, Pentagon officials said, breaking the siege would require a longer ground campaign by the Yazidis, Kurds and others fighting the Islamic State, and the airstrikes were only a start. Establishing a corridor to get the Yazidi civilians to safety could take days or weeks, they said.

She said the Global Warming Express camp “will provide them with more skills to understand their world. Instead of looking at the world’s problems, they can look at multiple solutions.”

“Science is fun,” she added.

“There is no reason anyone should dislike science. If it’s not fun, people are doing it wrong.”

Global Warming Express also is the title of Weber and Whysner’s book, which is almost complete.

Weber did the writing, Whysner the illustrations. The book tells the tale of a group of endangered animals attempting to gather support from humans to stop global warming.

The characters include The Fluff, an emperor penguin from Antarctica whose mother died eating a piece of plastic that washed up on shore; Flora, a polar bear who was separated from her parents when the ice broke up while they were hunting seals; and Creamy, a harp seal who moved to the San Diego Zoo after her parents died on their migration because the icebergs started melting early. The animals get on a bus and head to Washington, D.C., to spread their message.

High: Some argue THC levels are ‘meaningless’ Continued from Page A-1 driver was impaired by some type of substance.”

Another synopsis of the incident noted that Atencio, who was 21 at the time, was unsteady on his feet, shaking and appeared to have forgotten what he was instructed to do as part of a field sobriety test.

“He had a blank stare to his face as if in a state of confusion,” according to the report, and “kept leaning on a fire truck.”

The report also noted that Atencio “admitted to smoking marijuana prior to driving,” and deputies found a small amount of marijuana and a pipe in his possession.

The grand jury indictment charges Atencio with homicide by vehicle while driving under the influence of intoxicating liquor and/or drugs, or “in the alternative” homicide by vehicle while driving recklessly.

Proving someone was impaired by marijuana isn’t as cut and dried

as proving someone was legally drunk — a possible reason for including the alternative charge.

First Judicial District Attorney Angela “Spence” Pacheco didn’t return calls seeking comment on the case and the prosecution strategy.

New Mexico statutes prohibit motorists from driving “under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs,” and define specific blood alcohol levels that automatically result in a determination of impairment from alcohol, but the law isn’t as clear when it comes to what defining when someone is too stoned to drive.

In Colorado, where recreational marijuana use was recently legalized, the state Department of Transportation has set the legal threshold for impairment at 5 nanograms of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the major psychoactive constituent of marijuana) per milliliter of whole blood.

Atencio’s THC level was 7 nano-

grams, according to toxicology report provided by the Rio Arriba County Sheriff’s Office.

But drug reform advocates argue it’s nearly impossible to determine marijuana-related impairment based on THC levels because cannabis does not affect all people equally, and because THC levels in the blood do not correspond with impairment levels in the same way blood-alcohol levels do.

“There is no consensus among experts as what the levels should be,” said Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML). “In theory, you could have a number. But the number would be rather meaningless.”

Armentano said two people — one with great experience with and tolerance for marijuana and one who is less experienced — could exhibit much different levels of impairment with the exact same THC levels.

Armentano said using THC

blood levels as a measure of impairment also is imperfect because THC, which is fat-soluble, stays in the blood much longer than alcohol or other water-soluble substances, such as cocaine or prescription medications. Additionally, unlike with alcohol, peak levels of THC in the blood do not correspond with peak levels of impairment, he said.

James Ross declined to comment for this story.

A phone number listed for Atencio — who spent five days in the Rio Arriba County jail immediately after the incident but has been out on bond since then — was no longer valid.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Benjamin Schrope, who signed the indictment documents charging Atencio, declined to comment on the case.

Ringside: Dunn told off governor in ’12 Continued from Page A-1 candidate in state Senate District 39, which covers parts of six counties and is built for a Democrat to win it. One of Martinez’s political committees jumped into the campaign, buying advertisements promoting the incumbent senator, Democrat Phil Griego.

Griego was competing in a three-way primary when he found himself the beneficiary of supportive ads from Martinez’s camp.

Martinez thought that another Democrat less friendly to her than Griego could win the primary. To lessen that possibility, her political machines rallied behind Griego. He took the primary easily.

A couple of weeks later, Martinez wrote a letter soliciting money for her Susana Political Action Committee so, she said, she could better support Republican candidates. Dunn was on the governor’s mailing list, and her letter rankled him.

So he did something rare for a man with political ambitions: He told off the titular leader of his party by writing an angry response to Martinez.

“Your letter is disingenuous at best after your PAC, Reform New Mexico Now, funded

by Big Oil out of Artesia, placed positive ads for my Democrat opponent, Phil Griego,” Dunn wrote. “… It appears that the governor’s office and her Big Oil friends are more concerned about the open pit rules and helping a ‘pay-to-play’ senator who chairs the Senate [Corporations] Committee. This [is] contrary to your campaign promise that you care about the citizens of New Mexico.”

Griego defeated Dunn in the general election, sending Dunn back to his ranch.

But with the sting of losing fresh in his mind, Dunn decided that his split with Martinez did not have to be permanent. He decided to run for land commissioner, a statewide office, and asked Martinez for her backing.

She agreed.

Now they are on the same slate as Martinez seeks re-election and Dunn tries to unseat incumbent Democrat Ray Powell in the race for land commissioner.

Dunn says his public fight with the governor two years ago is unimportant history, not a story. When a politician says something is not a story, it’s usually a pretty good one. The subplot of Dunn’s campaign cannot be ignored.

Most rate Martinez as the solid favorite in the governor’s race against Democrat Gary King. Dunn hopes she has coattails for him.

By turning from a critic of the governor to a friend, he might win a bigger office in November than the one he lost two years ago.

Dunn, 58, a rancher who lives in Lincoln County, brings a thick résumé to this election. He formerly was president and CEO of First Federal Bank. He also holds a real estate license and is vice chairman of the Chaves Soil & Water Conservation District.

Just as important, Dunn grew up studying politics at close range. His late father, also named Aubrey, was a 15-year Democratic state senator and an unsuccessful candidate for governor in 1982. Powell’s father lost a race for governor four years after that.

Though the younger Dunn and Powell have decent name recognition, Dunn says the similarities end there.

Dunn says his background is in business whereas Powell is “a career politician.” Truth be told, Dunn also wanted a career in politics.

He ran for Congress in New Mexico’s southern district when the seat was open in 2008, losing in the Republican primary.

Powell, 64, has been land commissioner for 14 years, longer than anyone in state history.

A veterinarian, Powell said it’s true that he has never run a business. He worked in the practices of other veterinarians and with international chimpanzee expert Jane Goodall.

But, Powell said, his tenure at the land office is experience that Dunn cannot match.

“State lands managed by my office have generated $2.3 billion in the last three years and $817 million this year. That comes out to $850 saved per tax filer to help pay for schools and universities,” Powell said.

Dunn sees Powell’s long record as a weakness. He calls Powell an extremist on environmental issues and a political deal-maker.

“As land commissioner, he selected out-ofstate land developers, Forest City Covington, to develop Albuquerque’s Mesa del Sol. So far, they’ve given him $30,000 in campaign contributions,” Dunn wrote on his website.

Former land commissioner Patrick Lyons, R-Clovis, previously used similar language to criticize Powell for making “sweetheart deals.”

Powell calls the insinuations “nonsense,” saying he did not chose any developer in return for campaign contributions.

“There was no quid pro quo. We went through an open bid process, and I selected one of the best companies in the United States” to develop Mesa del Sol, Powell said.

State records show that, in 2006, Forest City Covington donated $10,000 each to the campaigns of Powell and Jim Baca, an Albuquerque Democrat, who also was running for land commissioner. Baca defeated Powell in the primary that year, then lost to Lyons in the general election.

Dunn hopes to hand Powell another defeat in the fall. Unlike the election of two years ago, Dunn is aligned with the governor, not sniping at her while trying to knock out an incumbent.

His connection to Martinez gives him a chance to complete a comeback, one from odd man out to political insider.

HONOLULU — After nearly four decades in elected office in Hawaii, Gov. Neil Abercrombie was dealt a stunning defeat in his bid for re-election over the weekend, becoming the first incumbent governor in the state’s history to lose in his party’s primary.

Abercrombie, a Democrat, was defeated Saturday by David Ige, who began the campaign as a little-known state senator but capitalized on the governor’s sinking popularity to win the nomination.

The race will almost certainly mark the end of Abercrombie’s long political career.

At age 76, he collected only about 31 percent of the vote, compared with 66 percent for Ige. “Every waking breath that I’ve taken, every thought that I’ve had before I slept,

was for Hawaii,” Abercrombie said of his nearly 40 years in public office. “Whatever faults I had, one of them has never been a failure to give all that I can every day.”

“Hawaii is everything to me,” he added, pledging to support Ige in the general election.

Ige hardly seemed able to believe how easily he ultimately earned the nomination, after overcoming enormous disadvantages in fundraising and name recognition. Through July 25, Abercrombie had spent nearly $5 million trying to secure re-election; Ige spent less than $500,000, according to the Hawaii campaign spending commission.

But the money did not matter. As the election became a referendum on an unpopular governor, voters who knew little about Ige were willing to support him.

“When we started this 13 months ago, I had people tell me I was crazy,” he said.

“No one thought we would be anywhere close to where we are today.”

Another high-profile Democratic incumbent, Sen. Brian Schatz, was locked in a tight race with U.S. Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, which remained too close to call.

Schatz held a lead of about 1,800 votes, with some mail-in ballots still left to count.

Voters in two precincts on the Big Island of Hawaii had also not yet cast ballots because polling sites were closed after damage from the tropical storm that hit Friday. A recount was possible. (In heavily Democratic Hawaii, the party is almost sure to retain the seat, regardless of who wins the primary.)

The specter of Daniel K. Inouye, the late senator and war hero from Hawaii, hung over both races. In the last days of his life in 2012, he asked Abercrombie to appoint Hanabusa to succeed him. But Abercrombie ignored his request, and instead appointed Schatz to the Senate.

tion,” Sachs said, adding that establishing a basic network of community health workers across the developing world was an urgent priority.

Health officials emphasized that Nigeria still had only a few confirmed Ebola cases — 10 as of Sunday, with two deaths — and that its government had mobilized substantial forces to try to stop the spread of the disease.

David Daigle, a spokesman for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s effort in Nigeria, said the ministers of health and information were on hand Friday for the opening of an emergency operation center in Lagos, a sign that the government was treating the situation seriously.

“The Nigerians understand the magnitude of the problem here,” said Dr. Frank Mahoney, an epidemiologist who has been leading the CDC’s Ebola response in Lagos.

Still, he said, international health officials are undertaking a substantial effort in Nigeria, motivated by what might happen if the disease, which had been confined to remote forests and villages in decades past, starts to spread in one of Africa’s most densely populated countries.

“We are very worried about

this,” Mahoney said, pointing out that Nigeria’s health care system could easily become overwhelmed. “Lagos is such a huge city with such a mobile population.”

Lagos, a city of nearly 20 million, the most populous in Nigeria, is also home to a large contingent of religious healers, such as Temitope Balogun Joshua, a popular Christian minister and televangelist known as T.B. Joshua. Health experts are concerned sick people will flock to Lagos to seek his advice.

Mahoney said health experts were reaching out to such leaders, and Jonathan called on churches and religious leaders to halt large gatherings that could encourage the spread of the disease.

Almost all of the suspected Ebola cases involve people who had direct contact with Sawyer — either in the airport where he was helped into a car or in the hospital where he was treated.

EL NUEVO MEXICANO Mensajes ambiguos del mercadeo CHICAGO omo la misma belleza, la degradación de la mujer depende de quién la considera. Lo que para una persona es claramente degradante constituye, para otra, una versión actualizada del himno feminista de Helen Reddy, “Soy mujer”.

Consideremos la foto de Olivia Wilde amamantando a su hijo Otis, en la revista Glamour. La fotografiaron, como comentó entusiasmadamente E! Online, “en un vestido de Roberto Cavalli, tacones altos de Prada, un pañuelo de Prada, aros de Yossi Harare y un anillo de Lanvin.”

Una hermosa foto de madre e hijo, sin duda. Pero su ubicuidad en Internet es otro ejemplo de la manera en que la sociedad aprueba la objetivización de la mujer (en este caso, Wilde es un bonito maniquí para colgar ropa, o embajadora de una marca, si prefieren); colocándola en prolijos compartimentos estancos Esther (símbolo sexual, artista, madre Cepeda que trabaja); y haciendo la vista Comentario gorda a todas las miradas lascivas posibilitadas por Internet, que esta imagen maternal icónica ha suscitado.

Otros toman la foto como una celebración de la nueva apertura y aceptación del amamantamiento.

Está bien, examinemos ese asunto un momento.

Amamantar es quizás lo más importante que una madre pueda hacer para la nutrición y el desarrollo de un niño. Pero no es bello. ¿Maravilloso? Sí, por supuesto, puedo dar fe. Pero también es difícil, exigente físicamente y … bueno, en lugar de entrar en detalles gráficos, sólo les aseguraré que no es glamoroso.

Generalmente no estamos físicamente perfectas, después de dar a luz y no nos vestimos con ropas de diseñadores que valen miles de dólares ni usamos un maquillaje profesional de primera cuando alimentamos a nuestro bebé.

Además, permítanme decirlo claramente: el 99 por ciento de las madres que amamantan a sus hijos prefiere hacerlo discretamente y en general, así lo hace.

Así pues, que los defensores de la lactancia materna se alegren cuanto quieran. Sólo agradezco no tener un niño de pecho y tener que ver otra imagen más de una celebridad acaudalada y perfecta, que luce espectacular, mientras yo tengo que lidiar con brasiers de lactancia, sacaleches y la dentición del niño.

La fina línea divisoria entre celebración y explotación fue también cruzada por Nine West, que está concentrándose en las mujeres de 25 a 49 años, rindiendo homenaje a la sexualidad moderna y a las tácticas de conquista de las mujeres, así como también glamorizando el alcohol.

Específicamente, los avisos de los zapatos muestran imágenes que dan consejos sobre qué usar en diversas situaciones comunes.

Según el New York Times, “Un aviso, por ejemplo, lleva el titular ‘Caza del primer marido’ y muestra a una mujer con zapatos de piel de leopardo, que lleva unas flechas en su mano y tiene detrás un blanco de tiro al arco. En otro con el titular “Drunch”, combinación de “drunk” (ebrio) y “lunch” (almuerzo), se ven las piernas de una mujer con zapatos de tacones altos de cuero y una copa de champaña balanceándose sobre su rodilla. Y en otro, bajo el título “En anticipación a una caminata vergonzosa”(1), muestra a una mujer llevando un bolso Nine West del que sobresalen un par de hojotas de la misma marca.”

Mucha gente reaccionó en forma positiva, considerando que la campaña de publicidad es divertida y persuasiva. Pero las críticas han sido diversas, desde indignación por el hecho de que una marca conocida reduzca la elección de calzado de las mujeres a una preparación para la estereotípica actividad de cazar un marido, al descuido de que algunas damas podrían ponerse zapatos sexy para cazar esposas.

Tonta de mí, pensé que habría una considerable protesta por la celebración de la “caminata de la vergüenza” —término popularizado en las universidades—cuando el Congreso está considerando una propuesta de ley contra el ataque sexual en las universidades, para encarar la ola de violencia contra las mujeres en los campus universitarios.

Pero, no. Mientras muchos comentarios en sitios Web y en medios sociales parecen ser del tipo: “¿Por qué suponer que una mujer necesita de un hombre?”, a pocos parece haberles molestado la descripción de la mujer como víctima del alcohol o de noches que inducen humillación la mañana siguiente.

Un comentarista en un mensaje de Tweet a Nine West, dijo “@NineWest shoes, desde una perspectiva diferente: ‘En anticipación a una caminata vergonzosa’. ¡Las relaciones de una sola noche para las mujeres NO son vergonzosas!”

Pero, supuestamente, si una tuvo un encuentro de una sola noche potenciador y satisfactorio, no se clasificaría la mañana siguiente como “una caminata vergonzosa”, ¿no es cierto?

Vivimos en una época en que no existe una definición o ideología del feminismo sobre la que haya consenso, por lo tanto, los puntos no se conectan y pocos se sorprenden cuando una masa crítica de individuos no se inmuta ante el tratamiento degradante de la mujer por una marca.

Pero, en cuanto a los mensajes de mercadeo, estos dos golpes publicitarios quizás vendan revistas y zapatos —o no. Y eso depende de nosotros.

SFCC aumenta colegiaturas y recorta salarios por déficit Por Robert Nott The New Mexican

a semana pasada el Santa Fe Community College (SFCC) anunció algunos recortes significativos para abordar el déficit inesperado de $5 millones en el presupuesto.

El plan, aprobado por el Consejo del Colegio en una reunión por la tarde, incluye el aumento en la colegiatura, recortes en los salarios, reducción de personal y posibles recortes de programas. El Presidente Interino Randy Grissom dice que comenzó a revisar las finanzas de las últimas tres décadas a inicios del 2014 y encontró que “algo estaba incorrecto. No tenemos efectivo suficiente para poder terminar este año”.

Grissom dice que los problemas comenzaron al empezar el 2013 “bajo la administración previa”, refiriéndose a la presidenta Ana “Cha” Guzmán, que fue despedida en diciembre 2013.

Mientras que él no sospecha de un fraude, comenta, “se hicieron suposiciones erróneas” sobre el futuro ingreso y ganancias anticipadas.

Como resultado, el colegio comenzó a tomar de su reserva de efectivo, reduciéndola a casi cero.

El informe de Grissom al consejo el martes citaba numerosas decisiones que llevaron al déficit, incluyendo gastos excesivos en proyectos de inversión, incrementando un 3 porciento el salario de los profesores de tiempo completo, contratando a 11 profesores nuevos de tiempo completo, convirtiendo a muchos empleados con contratos de 9 o 10 meses a contratos de 12 meses y sobreestimando el ahorro del programa piloto de semanas de cuatro días el verano pasado.

Por ejemplo, Grissom dice, el aumento de salario y las 11 contrataciones suman un total de alrededor de $2.4 millones en nuevos costos en 2014. Y jubilaciones tempranas terminaron con un costo de más de $1 millón, siendo así mucho más de los $600,000 proyectados, comenta.

Con la excepción de estos proyectos de capital, el consejo aprobó todas las acciones.

En general, el ingreso de la escuela es de $32.6

L

millones superado por gastos de $36.2 millones en el año fiscal 2014, menciona. En los cinco años anteriores, el ingreso excedió a los gastos desde $400,000 hasta $2.7 millones.

El colegio tiene un presupuesto anual de operación de alrededor de $35 millones.

El plan de estabilización financiera aprobado por el consejo el martes incluye un aumento en la colegiatura de $5 por crédito para los estudiantes; reducción de salario oscilando desde 2 porciento para empleados ganando $30,000 hasta un 8 porciento para los que ganan más de $100,000; posible eliminación de programas no académicos y un 30 porciento reducción en el presupuesto de materiales.

Los recortes de salario serán efectivos comenzando la semana del 25 de agosto – cuando los estudiantes regresen al plantel para el semestre de otoño – mientras el aumento en la colegiatura no será efectivo hasta enero del 2015. Los estudiantes de Santa Fe actualmente pagan $39.50 por hora de crédito.

Asumiendo que todas las medidas toman efecto y funcionan, el colegio estará en posición de restituir los salarios a sus niveles previos, dijo Grissom al consejo y la audiencia de 50 miembros durante la reunión del martes. De lo contrario, se verán recortes adicionales, comentó.

Grissom dice que el plan minimiza el impacto en los estudiantes, pero afecta al personal.

Jack Slentz, jefe del Departamento de Escultura del colegio, dijo que puesto que su esposa y él trabajan en el colegio de la comunidad y los dos recibirán un recorte del 4 porciento, “Afectará a nuestra familia… Vamos a recibir una reducción de un 8 porciento”. Pero apoya la acción del consejo, confiando en que esto ayudará al colegio a recuperarse para el próximo verano.

Alrededor de 4,759 estudiantes están actualmente inscritos en el colegio para el semestre de otoño, pero empleados esperan que el número crezca a 6,500 para la fecha límite de inscripciones.

a era early en el fall cuando Cuca Grama got up toda energetic de la cama. She put on her quimona and slipped her chopos onto her feet and shuffled hasta la cocina making a lot of noise con sus carpet slippers.

She had had una buena noche con plenty of sleep y ella hizo decide que today era el día cuando she was going to get rid of all the garrero that was cluttering up todos sus closets. She decided to get rid de Larry Torres todas las mugres Growing up by having un Spanglish huge yard sale.

She got una caja de cold cereal from the trastero and put it arriba de la mesa con leche and sugar. She didn’t feel like preparando huevos con papas or haciendo fry bacon o making café.

Grampo and Canutito would just have to hacer get along con Kellogg’s corn flés. She hadn’t even woken up a los hombres who were still dormiendo todos soundly.

Grama Cuca got right down al trabajo, taking a bunch of ollas y bandejas viejas out of her trastero.

She hadn’t used these old pails and saucepans en mucho tiempo.

Next she found un egg beater y una maquinita de moler carne. She certainly no tenía uso for this batidor nor this meat grinder. She was sure de que podía get tan siquiera a dollar por each of them en su yard sale.

Digging around en sus cajoncitos she found de que tenía all kinds of old trapos y estropajos in these drawers. If she could get at least un quarter por cada dishcloth and dishrag entonces she would be muy contenta indeed. She also found a cone-shaped colador para hacer jelly y applesauce that looked como una cachuchita de bruja pero since she hadn’t used este strainer por muchos años she put it también en la ‘for sale’ pile.

She was rattling las cosas around and making so much ruido que grama woke up Canutito who came into la cocina rubbing some lagañas out of los corners of his eyes.

“Buenos días le dé Dios, grama,” the little boy greeted her. “What are you doing?”

“Muy Buenos días, m’hijo,” grama replied. “Estoy getting ready para hacer un yard sale. I have so much junk que I don’t really use and I thought que I should rid of this mugrero. And besides,” she added, “Si hago a little dinero con mi yard sale, entonces I can go out and buy más mugres that I don’t need.”

De repente Grama Cuca had una buena idea. She called a su amiga Jorgina to bring by all of her mugres too and that way ellas could hacer más dinero between both of them. Jorgina was more than glad de venir a vender su yonque too.

She brought by an old bicicleta, y un punching bag que parecía un jukebox, unos weights que nobody ever used y un atajo de toys que sus children didn’t play with any more.

Las dos ladies set up sus cosas que estaban for sale en el front yard de la casa. Grama liked la bicicleta vieja de Jorgina and she offered her un dollar for it. Y luego Jorgina offered grama un dollar for el egg beater. Next grama thought que Canutito could use el punching bag and she paid Jorgina un dollar for it. The next moment Jorgina bought grama’s maquinita de moler carne for a dollar. Después, since que los customers hadn’t arrived yet, Grama Cuca compró los weights from Jorgina por un dollar and Jorgina bought some trapos que she had seen on grama’s pile con el mismo dollar.

Las dos ladies kept finding cosas interesantes to buy in each other’s pilas de junk. They kept pasando el mismo dollar back and forth todo el día so that at the end del sale todo lo que they had made de profit era one dollar between las dos.

“I wonder por qué we didn’t tener customers, today?” Grama Cuca asked Jorgina al fin del día.

“Maybe que los customers estaban busy elsewhere,” Jorgina replied. Pero just then Canutito came over and asked, “Grama, did you hacer advertise que iba a tener un yard sale?” “¡A qué taruga!” grama berated herself porque había olvidado de hacer advertise…

New computer chip to work like the brain

Scientists make cheap, fast self-assembling ‘paper’ robots Inspired by ‘Transformers,’ researchers create movable and makeable machines

By Seth Borenstein The Associated Press

WASHINGTON n what may be the birth of cheap, easyto-make robots, researchers have created complex machines that transform themselves from little more than a sheet of paper and plastic into walking automatons.

Borrowing from the ancient Japanese art of origami, children’s toys and even a touch of the Transformers movies, scientists and engineers at Harvard and MIT created selfassembling, paper robots. They are made out of hobby shop materials that cost about $100.

After the installation of tiny batteries and motors, a paper robot rises on four stumpy legs and starts scooting in a herky-jerky manner. It transforms from flat paper to jitterbugging four-legged robot in just four minutes.

This small lightweight type of robot could explore outer space and other dangerous environments, and get into cramped places for search-and-rescue missions, researchers

I

said. But that’s just the start of what may be a long-envisioned robotic revolution.

This eventually could be as technologychanging as the three-dimensional printer, said experts unconnected with the study and Harvard robotics researcher Sam Felton, who is lead author of the paper published Thursday in the journal Science.

Felton and study co-author Daniela Rus of MIT say they see a time when someone who wants a dog-walking robot would go to a store that has specialized equipment to make the device — “some sort of robo-Kinkos,” Felton said.

And eventually the technology could produce more complex machines.

“In principle it will be possible to say, ‘I want a robot to play chess with me,’ and generate a machine that has the computational abilities to play chess with you,” Rus said.

Today it costs a lot of money to build a robot, but this method is fast, cheap and specialized, Rus said.

“This is a simple, flexible and rapid design process and a step toward the dream of realizing the vision of 24-hour robot manufacturing,” Rus said.

These robots aren’t quite Transformers of movie and cartoon fame. Once they assemble themselves automatically with heat-activated

hinges that allow the folding, there are no more changes, Rus and Felton said.

The robots themselves start out a bit smaller than a normal 8.5-by-11-inch sheet of paper. Off-the-shelf batteries and motors are embedded at a cost of about $80. Altogether, the early machines researchers made, along with the equipment to build them, cost less than $1,000 apiece, Felton said.

The robots, which the researchers did not name, are about 6 inches long, 6 inches wide, and about 2 inches tall. They weigh less than 3 ounces. They move about 2 inches per second. But they can be made bigger or smaller, with some limitations, Felton said.

He said the way heating activates the hinges was inspired by the children’s toy line Shrinky Dinks, which shrivel and fold when put in the oven.

Robotics pioneer Rodney Brooks, an MIT emeritus professor who wasn’t part of the research, said this could be close to other momentous changes in technology, such as the first 3-D printers or even 1947’s ENIAC early computer.

“Lots more people will join in working on these techniques, each making incremental progress and decades from now we’ll wonder why it took so long to get where we’ll then be with it,” Brooks said in an email.

Inspired by the architecture of the brain, scientists have developed a new kind of computer chip that draws no more power than a hearing aid and may eventually excel at calculations that stump today’s supercomputers.

The new processor, named TrueNorth, was developed by researchers at IBM and detailed in an article published Wednesday in the journal Science. The chip attempts to mimic the way brains recognize patterns, relying on densely interconnected webs of transistors similar to the brain’s neural networks.

The new chip’s electronic “neurons” are able to signal others when a type of data — light, for example — passes a certain threshold. Working in parallel, the neurons begin to organize the data into patterns suggesting the light is growing brighter, or changing color or shape.

The processor may thus be able to recognize that a woman in a video is picking up a purse, or reaching into a pocket and pulling out a quarter. Humans are able to recognize these acts without conscious thought, yet today’s computers and robots struggle to interpret them.

The chip contains 5.4 billion transistors, yet draws just 70 milliwatts of power. By contrast, modern Intel processors in today’s personal computers and data centers may have 1.4 billion transistors and consume far more power — 35 to 140 watts.

Today’s conventional microprocessors and graphics processors are capable of performing billions of mathematical operations a second, yet the new chip system clock makes its calculations barely a thousand times a second. Yet because of the vast number of circuits working in parallel, it is still capable of performing 46 billion operations a second per watt of energy consumed, according to IBM researchers.

The TrueNorth has 1 million “neurons,” about as complex as the brain of a bee.

“It is a remarkable achievement in terms of scalability and low power consumption,” said Horst Simon, the deputy director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

He compared the new design to the advent of parallel supercomputers in the 1980s, which he recalled was like moving from a two-lane road to a superhighway.

The new approach to design, referred to variously as neuromorphic or cognitive computing, is still in its infancy, and the IBM chips are not yet commercially available. Yet the design has touched off a vigorous debate over the best approach to speeding up the neural networks increasingly used in computing.

The idea of that neural networks might be useful in processing information occurred to engineers in the 1940s, before the invention of modern computers.

Only recently, as computing has grown drastically in memory capacity and processing speed, have they proved to be powerful computing tools.

In recent years, companies like Google, Microsoft and Apple have turned to pattern recognition driven by neural networks to vastly improve the quality of such services as speech recognition and photo classification.

IBM’s new processor, the TrueNorth.

IBM touts TrueNorth as a new kind of computer chip, inspired by the architecture of the brain, that draws no more power than a hearing aid.

A strong password won’t work if it’s used for every login Using Facebook may strengthen online account security

By Hayley Tsukayama The Washington Post

We can probably all agree that the password system, as it stands today, just isn’t working. With the constant security breaches in the headlines, we’re told regularly to beef up our passwords. But even if we know how to make strong passwords, it’s a pain to keep track of them all between every bank account, retailer and app demanding its own unique log-in.

So how can you escape password hell? Or at least snap out of your apathy before a hacker steals your information? We’ve ranked your options from the most low-maintenance to the most rigorous — for people who want to go the extra mile.

None of the following suggestions are perfect, by any means — just tips for staying sane in a crazy system. But it turns out that there are some surprisingly easy solutions for this very modern problem. And whatever you do, remember: Anything is safer than using the same password over and over again. Even if it’s a really good one.

Easy (aka, lazy) methods There are some fairly easy ways to keep track of, or even streamline, your list of passwords. These methods are fast but not that secure in the scheme of things. Apply large amounts of common sense before proceeding.

Write them down: Alright.

This might sound crazy right off the bat. But one really easy way to keep track of your passwords is to write them down — on paper. Yes, conventional wisdom has said for years that that’s a bad idea, and you’re in huge trouble if you lose your list. But with so many accounts to juggle nowadays, chances are that you’ll be tempted to reuse your passwords if you can’t remember all of them.

So, writing them down isn’t so nutty.

Ideally, yes, you should memorize your most important passwords. But even security expert Bruce Schneier has recommended writing down passwords and treating that list like you would any other valuable document, which is to say with a high degree of security — no sticky notes on your monitor that say “conglomeratebank. com: jdoe/password123.”

There are definitely bad ways to do this. Getting into

an account normally means having to know three things: the location of the account, a username and a password. If you can manage it, don’t put all three of these pieces of information in the same place.

Similarly, don’t do silly things like keeping your bank account password next to a credit or debit card that has your bank’s name on it.

What if you want to write everything on a spreadsheet stored on your computer? The same rules and risks apply. And if you want to put that file in the cloud, the stakes are even higher. A cloud spreadsheet is not the place for your most sensitive accounts. If you must do this, confine your cloud spreadsheet to the accounts you would be reasonably okay with getting hacked. And at a minimum, name the file something other than “Passwords.”

Rely on a major company such as Facebook, Twitter or Google to log-in: Another easy option is to place your faith in a company like Google, Facebook or Twitter and use their networks to log in to other sites whenever possible.

You know those “Log in with Facebook” buttons?

That’s what we’re talking about here. It won’t work for every site, but social network log-in is widespread enough

that it could definitely cut down the amount of passwords you have. If you do opt for this method, though, make sure that the password you use for your social network of choice is rock-solid.

Reset your password — every time: And finally, one simple — admittedly inconvenient — method is to go through the “Forgot your password?” spiel each time you log into some sites. That’s too much of a pain for sites you use frequently, such as your email or your bank. But it’s not a bad fallback strategy for those services you use less often and are most likely to forget anyway — such as the account you made at a retailer’s website to get free shipping that one time.

Advanced To move to the next tier, you’re going to have to commit to spending some money or some time — in most cases both — to dealing with this imperfect system.

Password managers: There are a number of services that will help you manage your passwords, such as 1Password, LastPass or Dashlane, though you’ll have to pay a fee for some features. These services all differ slightly but work on the same basic principle: Each

Section editor: Bruce Krasnow, 986-3034, brucek@sfnewmexican.com Design and headlines: Rachel Valerio, rvalerio@sfnewmexican.com

is an online storage locker of your passwords, all hidden behind a single password that only you know (meaning you can’t recover your master password from anywhere but your brain). Password managers also offer other perks, such as a place to store secure notes, credit card numbers or information for filling in websites.

You just have to install the programs into your Web browsers to record your login information as you surf.

Password managers are convenient, and will even randomly generate strong passwords, such as “eG7nIs0daud3Taw,” for your accounts and then remember those crazy things for you in their vaults.

To access your various passwords as you surf, all you have to do is click on a handy button on your browser and choose which account you need to fill in your information.

Each has its strengths and weaknesses. Dashlane is probably the easiest to use and the prettiest to look at. LastPass is compatible with a wide range of devices. And 1Password, is comprehensive but expensive.

How much do they cost?

1Password has a one-time $50 cost for Mac or Windows, $18 for iOS and $10 for a full version of the app on Android devices. LastPass and Dashlane

are free, but if you want to sync across multiple devices — say your cellphone and your computer — you’ll need to upgrade to the premium versions. LastPass costs $12 a year; Dashlane costs $30 a year. The two main downsides to password managers are that one, yes, you’re still storing everything in one place and depending heavily on that service’s security. And second, you’re helpless if you don’t have access to your locker for some reason — for example, if your employer doesn’t let you download software onto your work computer.

Isolate your information: Not that into paying? Another option is to create an email account that’s linked to just your most sensitive online accounts — financial accounts, namely — and don’t use it for anything else. The fewer ways that criminals can link your various accounts to build a profile of you, the better. Having a separate email account makes it harder for criminals to connect the dots they need to crack security questions, like those that ask for your maiden name or your pets’ name. So maybe they won’t figure out that the Judy Smith whose banking password they just obtained is the same as the Judy Smith who lists her maiden name and pets’ names in her Facebook profile.

Atlantic seabird in peril:

Social media to the rescue Researchers hope webcam watchers will help with study on puffins’ decline

By Patrick Whittle and Robert Bukaty The Associated Press

EASTERN EGG ROCK, Maine anted: puffinologists. No experience necessary.

The Audubon Society wants bird lovers to contribute research to a project scientists hope will help save Atlantic puffins from starvation in Maine.

There are about 1,000 pairs of the seabirds, known for their multicolored beaks and clownish appearance, in Maine. Audubon says the number of puffin fledging chicks has declined in the last two years, possibly because their key food source, herring and hake, are leaving for cooler waters. Puffins are on the state’s threatened species list.

Audubon maintains three Web cameras on Seal Island, a National Wildlife Refuge in outer Penobscot Bay, 22 miles off Rockland and one of the key puffin habitats in Maine. Volunteers are being asked to watch the puffins feed and answer questions about their feeding behavior, said Steve Kress, director of the National Audubon Society’s seabird restoration program.

From 2007 to 2011, Kress said, 77 percent of puffin pairs on Seal Island produced fledglings, or birds that are able to fly. The number declined to 31 percent in 2012 and 10 percent in 2013 and while 2014 “appears to be better,” he said, it’s too early to tell.

“This is a citizen science project, hoping to advance the science as well as entertain the viewers,” Kress said. “There are some questions that can be better answered through lots of people viewing.”

population nests on three islands — Matinicus Rock, Eastern Egg Rock, and Seal Island. Kress and others believe the decline in fledged puffin chicks is tied to rising water temperatures in the Gulf of Maine.

The puffins are left to try to eat butterfish, a species more available as herring and hake — key food species for puffins — seek colder waters, Kress said.

Scientists say surface temperatures of the waters in the Gulf of Maine have increased slightly each year since 1982, but the pace increased after 2004.

With fewer herring and hake, puffins have been giving their young butterfish but those fish are too big for puffin chicks to eat, and many of the birds starve and die. That’s what happened to

Petey, the puffin chick the 2012 camera focused on.

Two of Audubon’s cameras focus on the rocky areas where puffins roost. Another is inside a burrow, providing a close-up view of a fuzzy puffin chick.

Last year’s featured puffin chick, Hope, survived. This year’s chick, Pal, hatched around June 25.

Audubon is asking Web camera watchers to observe Pal and answer a survey about what kind of fish his parents feed him, including how many and when.

The webcams have attracted more than 4 million views since

2012, and more than 1,000 people have completed Audubon surveys.

Explore.org, a Los Angelesbased nonprofit group that runs dozens of wildlife webcams around the world, installed the cameras and is partnering with Audubon. Explore.org founder Charles Annenberg said the project is about “making science fun again.”

Kress said the information gathered by puffin watchers will be included in published papers.

The goal is to document how much food it takes for puffin chicks to fledge, he said.

Puffins, which spend most of their lives at sea, breed in the spring before returning to the ocean in early August. The chicks go to sea after their parents feed them for about 40 days.

In brief Galaxy may offer glimpse of dark matter’s evolution “Lensing” galaxies are so huge that they act like magnifying glasses for the space behind them. Their gravity can bend and distort light from smaller galaxies further beyond.

Now, scientists using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have unexpectedly found the most distant lensing galaxy to date. Its light has taken 9.6 billion years to reach us, and the obect it’s magnifying — a tiny spiral galaxy that we can now see undergoing a surge of star formation — is 10.7 billion light years away.

Kenneth Wong, an author on the team’s science paper, said, “To find a lens as far away as this one is a very special discovery because we can learn about the dark-matter content of galaxies in the distant past. By comparing our analysis of this lens galaxy to the more nearby lenses, we can start to understand how that dark-matter content has evolved over time.”

Study: Blood test could reveal person’s risk of suicide A simple blood test could determine a person’s risk of suicide and provide a future tool of prevention to lower suicide rates.

In a study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, researchers say they have discovered a genetic indicator of a person’s vulnerability to the effects of stress and anxiety and, therefore, the risk of suicidal thoughts or attempts.

The researchers, at Johns Hopkins University, looked at how a group of chemicals known as methyl affect the gene SKA2, which modifies how the brain reacts to stress hormones.

If the gene’s function is impaired by a chemical change, someone who is stressed won’t be able to shut down the effect of the stress hormone. Zachary Kaminsky, who led the study, said that while the biomarker indicates a person’s vulnerability to stress and anxiety, it does not make a person destined to experience suicidal thoughts and could equally show a person’s resilience.

Cave yields remains of species long gone ‘Natural Trap’ is treasure trove of ancient bones

By Mead Gruver The Associated Press

CHEYENNE, Wyo. — North American lions, cheetahs and short-faced bears: Those are just a few fearsome critters from 25,000 years ago paleontologists already might have found in their first excavation of a bizarre northern Wyoming cave in 30 years.

Good fossils also come in small packages: Exquisite rodent bones best examined by microscope, or even snippets of genetic material from long-extinct species, could be in their haul.

“They’re very excited about the potential for what they’ve found. The analysis, yet, is still very preliminary,” Brent Breithaupt, who was among the exclusive group of scientists who recently rappelled down eight stories to excavate the floor of Natural Trap Cave, said Wednesday.

The only way in or out of Natural Trap Cave is a 15-foot-wide hole in the ground that’s almost impossible to see until you’re next to it.

Over tens of thousands of years, several thousand insufficiently wary animals plummeted more than 80 feet into the chilly, dim, cathedrallike cavern.

Their bones lie entombed, layer upon layer, in sediment as much as 30 feet deep. Over the past two weeks, bucket after bucket, by rope and pulley, some 10 to 20 paleontologists,

their assistants and a few spelunking experts have been hauling bones and bone-bearing sediment up into the sunlight. They used screens to sift out tiny remains from the dirt.

The best stuff has been packed in Rubbermaid containers for shipment to universities in the U.S. and even overseas, to the Australian Centre for Ancient DNA at the University of Adelaide, Breithaupt said.

On Friday, paleontologists from Des Moines University and elsewhere who’ve been camping out in the scrublands near the western flank of the Bighorn Mountains since July 27 plan to head home. But the really cool part — positively identifying and dating what they’ve found — is yet to come, back in the laboratories where they can do more detailed work.

“It’s an incredible site. It definitely is one of the most significant sites that BLM manages and it will provide very, very important information,” said Breithaupt, a paleontologist for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.

Scientists hope the cave’s high humidity and temperatures that never top the 40s might even preserve genetic material of extinct animals from the days when massive ice sheets last frosted over much of the North American landscape.

The oldest remains could date back 100,000 years, Breithaupt said.

Soon, the BLM will once again shut and lock a metal grate over the cave entrance to keep out modern-day animals and any more curious folks — at least until scientists can return for more detailed work next summer.

ARCTIC COLLAPSE Siberian crater’s methane release may threaten region’s way of life

By Terrence McCoy The Washington Post

Researchers have long contended that the epicenter of global warming is also farthest from the reach of humanity. It’s in the barren landscapes of the frozen North, where red-cheeked children wear fur, the sun barely rises in the winter and temperatures can plunge dozens of degrees below zero. Such a place is the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia, translated as “the ends of the Earth,” a desolate spit of land where a group called the Nenets live.

By now, you’ve heard of the crater on the Yamal Peninsula. It’s the one that suddenly appeared, yawning nearly 200 feet in diameter, and made several rounds in the global viral media machine. The adjectives most often used to describe it: giant, mysterious, curious. Scientists were subsequently “baffled.” Locals were “mystified.” There were whispers that aliens were responsible. Nearby residents peddled theories of “bright flashes” and “celestial bodies.”

There’s now a substantiated theory about what created the crater. And the news isn’t so good.

It may be methane gas, released by the thawing of frozen ground. According to a recent Nature article, “air near the bottom of the crater contained unusually high concentrations of methane — up to 9.6% — in tests conducted at the site on 16 July, says Andrei Plekhanov, an archaeologist at the Scientific Centre of Arctic Studies in Salekhard, Russia. Plekhanov, who led an expedition to the crater, says that air normally contains just 0.000179% methane.”

The scientist said the methane release may be related to Yamal’s unusually hot summers in 2012 and 2013, which were warmer by an average of 5 degrees Celsius. “As temperatures rose, the researchers suggest, permafrost thawed and collapsed, releasing methane that had been trapped in the icy ground,” the report stated.

Plekhanov explained to Nature that the conclusion is preliminary. He would like to study how much methane is contained in the air trapped inside the crater’s walls. Such a task, however, could be difficult. “Its rims are slowly melting and falling into the crater,” the researcher told the science publication. “You can hear the ground falling, you can hear the water running; it’s rather spooky.”

“Gas pressure increased until it was high enough to push away the overlaying layers in a powerful injection, forming the crater,” explained geochemist HansWolfgang Hubberten of Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute, adding that he’s never seen anything like the crater.

Some scientists contend the thawing of such terrain, rife with centuries of carbon, would release incredible amounts of methane gas and affect global temperatures. “Pound for pound, the comparative impact of [methane gas] on climate change is over 20 times greater than [carbon dioxide] over a 100year period,” reported the Environmental Protection Agency.

Researchers with Stockholm University’s Department of Applied Environmental Science recently witnessed methane releases in the East Siberian Arctic Ocean. They found that “elevated methane levels [were] about ten times higher than in background seawater,” wrote scientist Orjan Gustafsson on his blog last week. He added: “This was somewhat of a surprise. … This is information that is crucial if we are to be able to provide scientific estimations of how these methane releases may develop in the future.”

NASA also found the situation to be precarious.

“The fragile and rapidly changing Arctic region is home to large reservoirs of methane, a potent greenhouse gas,” scientists wrote in 2012. It’s “vulnerable to being released into the atmosphere, where it can add to global warming.”

Now, as two additional craters have also recently been discovered in Siberia, researchers worry the craters may portend changes to local Siberian life. Two have appeared close to a large gas field. “If [a release] happens at the Bovanenkovskoye gas field that is only 30 kilometers away, it could lead to an accident, and the same if it happens in a village,” Russian scientist Plekhanov told Nature.

Soifer, the lawyer for the Texas abortion clinics, said the issue highlighted the plaintiffs’ arguments that Texas does not know whether New Mexico’s abortion providers will provide safe services.

“If the clinic does not satisfy New Mexico law, that simply highlights the problem with the state of Texas suggesting Texas women can exercise their constitutional rights by crossing the state line,” she said.

In the Mississippi case, a law requiring doctors providing abortions to obtain admitting privileges at local hospitals would have shut the state’s sole abortion clinic. Mississippi officials argued that the law would not impose an undue burden because women could drive to nearby clinics in Tennessee, Louisiana or Alabama. The panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected that argument, ruling that Mississippi “may not shift its obligation to respect the established constitutional rights of its citizens to another state.”

Texas has suggested the Mississippi case has little bearing on the Austin lawsuit. The Mississippi law would have effectively extinguished a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion “within Mississippi’s borders,” the federal panel noted.

But Abbott’s lawyers said that Texas had not effectively extinguished those rights and that abortion providers would remain open in major metropolitan areas. “At most,” state lawyers wrote, “some patients may choose to travel out of state for convenience.”

School superintendent under investigation Board says serious personnel issue came up in Albuquerque district chief’s review The Associated Press

The board of New Mexico’s largest school district scheduled a meeting Monday to discuss an investigation into its superintendent, the focus of which remains a mystery.

A serious personnel issue came up during the performance review for Albuquerque

Public Schools Superintendent Winston Brooks, board president Analee Maestas said.

Maestas said in a statement last week that she hired an attorney to investigate the personnel issue and the lawyer has produced a report.

The meeting “will include an executive session to discuss the matter with Mr. Brooks,” Maes-

tas said in the statement. “Until that time, it would be inappropriate for me to comment any further.”

Brooks confirmed that the attorney has interviewed him, but he declined to give details on the investigation. Brooks said he had not heard about the report.

Some board members were upset Maestas hired the attorney without a board vote.

“The procedure is the board gives her the authority. In my opinion she did not have the authority,” board member

David Peercy told the Albuquerque Journal. “It’s just a procedural thing that I think has been a little sloppy.”

The investigation comes after Brooks was suspended for three days and put on an improvement plan last year following his disparaging comment about Education Secretary-designate Hanna Skandera on Twitter. In two tweets, he compared Skandera to livestock.

Brooks apologized and said he “meant no offense.”

Teacher: Event to honor Hansen on Aug. 27 Continued from Page A-1 he decided to write one. When we needed a teacher to sit in the dunking booth for the carnival, Mr. Hansen was the first one to sign up.”

According to an online obituary published by Ewing Funeral Home in Kanawah, Iowa, Hansen was born to Roger and Joann Hansen in Britt, Iowa, on March 16, 1963. He earned a Bachelor of Arts at Iowa’s Wartburg College and a master’s in music education from Arizona State University. He taught elementary school music in the Paradise Valley Unified School District in Arizona for several years before relocating to Santa Fe in 2007.

For the past four summers, Hansen ran the Santa Fe district’s summer music program, teaching novice and experienced students various aspects of music and staging a public concert at the program’s conclusion each year. In the last year, he was active in teacher union events and played a prominent role in several public events in which teachers lobbied the Public Education Department and state lawmak-

ers to urge them to support efforts to return fun and creativity to the classroom.

“I always found joy in each day,” Hansen wrote in a recent My View piece for The New Mexican. “Joy has kept me here all these years. Joy fills my heart and soul when I think of those good old days when we had choices and freedom to deliver instruction that we as professionals were trained to do.”

Hansen taught at several

other Santa Fe schools, served as an elementary school music team leader and was recently named the recipient of the John M. Batcheller Award for Excellence in Teaching and the newly created Lorraine Goldman Golden Baton Award.

Hansen also initiated annual Veterans Day concerts featuring patriotic songs for community war veterans. He had his students present visiting veterans with drawings and words of

thanks for their service. “By the end of every concert, there was not a dry eye in that gym,” Ingram recalled.

El Dorado Community School music teacher Janine Sammeth said Hansen was planning a commemorative celebration for the upcoming 200th anniversary of Francis Scott Key’s “The Star-Spangled Banner” in September. “Up until the minute he died, he was doing activities and creating lessons and doing anything he could to support music education,” she said.

E.J. Martinez Principal Nancy Olivares said the school will offer grief counseling for students and parents from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 13, and the school will honor Hansen with a memorial celebration at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 27. “We want to celebrate what Todd was about. There will be music,” she said.

Hansen is survived by his parents, a sister, a son and daughter, and partner Randy Moreno of Santa Fe, as well as a number of other relatives.

Hospital workers to picket Monday The union representing about 500 nurses and medical technicians at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center is planning a picket outside the facility from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday.

Hospital leaders and union organizers remain at odds over staffing. The union wants a contract to ensure staffing level minimums at the 50th percentile of similar hospitals, while the hospital argues that more staff members won’t necessarily lead to better service for patients.

The union’s contract expired July 31. The hospital is located

on St. Michael’s Drive near Hospital Drive — the intersection where the union plans to picket.

Hospital spokesman Arturo Delgado said Sunday night he is “expecting an orderly event and no disruption of our services.”

Organizers said those wishing to picket can park at St. Bede’s Episcopal Church at West San Mateo Road and South St. Francis Drive or at the Church of Christ at West Cordova Road and Galisteo Street. The union will run a shuttle between both locations and the hospital.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

King will bring back bad ol’ days I f Gary King becomes governor, we risk higher taxes and a return to the days of Gov. Bill Richardson.

When King was a state legislator, he voted for the largest tax increase in state history.

Taxes went up on groceries and gasoline, and middle-class families felt the squeeze. New Mexico families simply cannot afford more tax increases.

For how far New Mexico families drive to work and to school, paying more at the pump is not feasible.

In contrast, Gov. Susana Martinez understands that we cannot increase taxes. Working with both parties, the governor cut taxes and received praise for her reforms. We can balance the budget by implementing cost-saving efficiencies and smart programs, without raising taxes.

Clean caboose

Worth preserving

As a parallel to the Plaza Cleanup Initiative, can’t something be done about the terribly neglected caboose sitting at the intersection of St. Francis Drive and Cerrillos Road?

This is one of the busiest intersections of the city, where loads of visitors and residents cross each day. If our town is to keep up appearances for the tourists as well as for ourselves, a fresh coat of red paint on that thing could really brighten the place up.

La Bajada mesa is an important and irreplaceable part of New Mexico’s heritage and landscape. Thousands of citizens have delivered the same message through testimony, letters and petitions: La Bajada mesa deserves better than to be blasted to rubble to benefit a few land speculators who seek a special zoning change to establish another unneeded gravel strip mine.

The evidence is overwhelming. By any quantitative

or qualitative measure — be it economic, ecological, historical or simply public welfare — the selective rezoning of La Bajada mesa for mining is bad policy and bad precedent. We expect our Santa Fe County commissioners to listen to the will of the people and to protect the best interests of Santa Fe County by denying the rezoning application that would allow mining.

Come witness the proceedings at 10 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 12, at the County Commission Chambers, 102 Grant Ave. Visit www.SaveLaBajada.org or Facebook/Savelabajada for updates.

ometime around 2006, I was sitting in my apartment in Japan listening to old music, and I heard a Bob Dylan song. It’s about missing his old friends, and wishing he could talk to them again. It ends: “I wish, I wish, I wish in vain “That we could sit simply in that room again “Ten thousand dollars at the drop of a hat “I’d give it all gladly if our lives could be like that” As I listened, I started to miss my own high school gang. I was feeling more depressed, when suddenly I realized what an idiot I was. I opened Firefox, fired up Google Talk, and found three of my old friends online. I immediately messaged all of them, and quickly received three rather irreverent responses.

It was at that moment that I almost broke into tears, because I realized that something huge had changed for the better in the human experience. All throughout my youth, I had seen my parents and my friends’ parents drift away from their friends. The sheer difficulty of keeping in regular contact over extreme distances, even with telephones, meant that if you moved to a new town, you could make new friends but it would be hard to keep the old. Then came email, and chat, and Facebook and Instagram and the rest.

And suddenly, through a trick of human ingenuity, you never have to lose touch with your old friends again. We woke up, and the world was better.

This is why I am annoyed when writers accuse Silicon Valley (by which they mean the entire tech industry) of not solving big problems. Presumably, these tech critics want venture capitalists and entrepreneurs to take us into space, solve the global energy crunch or invent new

labor-saving devices. And presumably they aren’t satisfied that SpaceX, Tesla, SolarCity and the Google Self-Driving Car project, among others, are working on all these things as we speak. Presumably they are unhappy with technology’s failure to give them a hoverboard, despite the fact that many cities have outlawed skateboards of the wheeled variety.

What critics of Silicon Valley’s vision fail to realize, though, is that the really big problems aren’t the hard ones or the spectacular ones. The really big problems are things that affect the quality of human life.

Abraham Maslow, the psychologist, theorized that people’s needs come in a “hierarchy.” Once you take care of the basics — food, shelter, security — you start being mainly concerned with social needs, like love, companionship and respect. The theory predicts that in poor countries, people will mainly be concerned with getting things like bigger houses, cars and better food. But in rich countries, where most people have these things, the focus will shift to human relationships and career success. And in fact, happiness research bears this out.

The problems of this higher rung of Maslow’s ladder are exactly the ones that tech companies like Facebook and Match. com have begun to crack. Consider the impact of dating sites on the lives of divorced people. For a young person, dating sites and apps — OKCupid or Tinder — are a marginal improvement over the old singles scene of parties, bars and friends-of-friends. But for divorced middle-aged people, who are often socially isolated and occupied with work, meeting people is a much more daunting task. For these people, dating sites are a godsend. If you don’t believe me, just ask your friends from Korea or China about

their divorced parents. In those countries, online dating is still heavily stigmatized and generally feared — and the outcome is a lifetime of extreme loneliness for legions of older people.

The fact is, most of what people in the developed world want in life has to do with other human beings, not with the physical world around us. Peter Thiel, one of the founders of PayPal, famously griped, “We wanted flying cars, instead we got 140 characters.” But I guarantee you that if I had a flying car, after the first few days I would stop gawking at the scenery and start tweeting.

I believe that the advent of social technology is a huge step toward solving the really big, really tough problems of humanity. The ability to connect with old friends and meet romantic partners late in life isn’t as spectacular as the ability to fly to Mars, but if you think about it, Mars is just a ball of rock and ice. Here on Earth, there are much vaster worlds to explore: the worlds in other people’s minds. Elie Wiesel wrote: “We must not see any person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with its own secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph.”

Those silly Silicon Valley entrepreneur guys, with their hoodies and their nerdy haircuts, are building us the ships to explore those universes, and in the process changing what it means to live a full and complete human life. To me, that’s a big idea.

ord that New Mexico Rail Runner Express operators are looking for ways to make crossings safer on busy Santa Fe streets is welcome. Two bicyclists have died this year after being hit by trains while attempting to cross the tracks.

In the short term, trains will be operating at slower speeds through busy crossings, and flaggers will be stationed to warn drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians that trains are on the way. Over the next 60 days, groups responsible for operating the train and for transportation in New Mexico will review area crossings to decide what, if anything, can be done to improve safety.

One problem is the desire for quiet near train crossings. To accommodate residents and businesses’ requests for noise limits, passing trains don’t sound their horns — which are, perhaps, the best way to announce a train is coming. That’s why the Rio Metro Regional Transit District, which operates the Rail Runner, is using flaggers and slower speeds. It’s a way of keeping faith with residents that the trains won’t become too noisy.

We respect residents’ desire for quiet, but safety is essential, too. We think a compromise on train horns is in order: Use them at busy crossings — roads packed with car traffic as well as well-used pedestrian and bike routes — when they’re necessary. The studies being done should help train operators figure out when danger is most pressing. Perhaps a horn that isn’t quite so loud could be used in busy areas of the city.

Should the ban on horns remain in the city, improved safety measures are a must. Pedestrian and bicycle activity has picked up, making the crossings more of a danger than when the train first began operating.

Groups involved in studying the crossings include the transit district, the Federal Railroad Administration, the state Department of Transportation, the state Public Regulation Commission and the city of Santa Fe. Simple changes, such as changing the pavement texture or marking it with warning signs before crossings on walking trails could be used to alert users that danger is ahead.

Crossing gates and signals along the pedestrian paths also are options. Movable message signs are being used in some cities to warn that trains are coming.

Other states that are working to increase safety at railroad crossings — such as New Jersey and Minnesota — also engage in public awareness campaigns. Those include making safety videos and speaking with children and teens about being careful at railroad crossings. That’s definitely a project that should happen in Santa Fe. Obviously, the best safety measure is for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists to pay attention. Trains are not a force to take lightly. With smart design, though, it’s possible to prevent mistakes caused by inattention. That should be a goal of this effort — making safety the default so that people stop at crossings in plenty of time.

Newsmakers Director axed Gibson for being too old

Mel Gibson

Tom Hardy

SAN DIEGO — Mad Max director George Miller was “heartbroken” over Mel Gibson’s string of scandals in recent years.

But he says that isn’t why he recast the lead part in the post-apocalyptic auto action franchise.

Gibson was simply too old.

The Australian director helped launch Gibson, now 58, to stardom three decades ago in the trilogy featuring stark desert landscapes, intense car chases and a bleach-blonde Tina Turner.

Miller, 69, originally hoped to bring Gibson back as Max Rockatansky for the fourth film. As he developed the story over the last decade, Miller hatched plans for a second trilogy instead of just the one new film.

Concerned that Gibson wouldn’t be able to commit to three more movies, he asked Tom Hardy, 36, to step into the road warrior’s black leather boots.

“I have a great affection for Mel. I was really heartbroken to see him go into [the scandals],” Miller said in a recent interview. “But it’s a new time. I hope Mel gets to act in more movies because I think he’s a wonderful actor. But I think he’s an amazingly good director.”

One thing is pretty much guaranteed, though: Tatum should be sporting more clothing than he did through much of Magic Mike.

For The Washington Post

O

nline daters continue to express outrage about the revelation that OKCupid has been experimenting on users by telling them they matched well with people they had nothing in common with to see if they still got along anyway. Many feel they have been treated like lab rats. OKCupid remains utterly unapologetic.

It would be nice to think that the dating site is the exception to the rule and that companies don’t generally cross the line of decency by experimenting on their users.

But nothing could be further from the truth. Most websites you use will try out some kind of experiment on you at one time or another.

These days it’s pretty rare to go to a big website and not be tracked somehow, even if it’s a charity. If you download a browser plug-in such as Ghostery you can watch websites as they watch you.

Ever since Eric Ries wrote The Lean Startup, tech firms have been wise to the value of carrying out a type of user experimentation called A/B testing. It’s at the core of many business plans in Silicon Valley and in tech clusters around the world.

The basic arc of any new startup was, for a long time, quite simple. Entrepreneur comes up with a brilliant idea; entrepreneur does something like Dragons’ Den to get money from venture capitalists; entrepreneur spends money on shorts-and-sandalswearing software engineers to build product over one or two years; product is launched; entrepreneur prints T-shirts to help promote new product; new product dives faster than Tom Daley into product oblivion.

Historically most new startups fail, and they fail because no one wants their product.

This isn’t really surprising, since technology experts tend to be just that experts in technology, not in people.

But Ries suggested a new methodology for start-ups: entrepreneur comes up with a brilliant idea; entrepreneur prints T-shirts.

But if no one buys the T-shirt, entrepreneur doesn’t bother building the product. This saves huge amounts of money and time that can be devoted to building better products that people actually want.

Ries wasn’t the first to invent this method. Showing different kinds of ads and getting people to respond to them is one of the marketer’s stock tools. The statistics and scientific methods of psychology have been carefully applied to marketing since the 1950s.

The essence of the lean startup method is to create a launch page announcing your new (non-existent) product.

Start ups like Dropbox began with a simple webpage with a video describing the new product. At the bottom was a box inviting you to sign up as a beta tester. But there were

actually two videos. When a potential customer arrived on the site, they were randomly assigned video A or B. Each would promote a slightly different version of the future product.

In the case of Dropbox, the entrepreneurs thought that backing up would be the most useful facility and sharing was an also-nice-to-have. By counting how many people signed up as a beta tester, they could measure what people wanted.

In practice, sharing seemed to get the biggest vote and backing up was almost irrelevant. In fact, they found that the users didn’t really care about almost 90 percent of the functionality the engineers had invented so they simply didn’t waste time building it.

Any company can use this tactic to find out what its potential customers actually want in a week or a month and can then go on to build something that will actually be loved. AirBnB continues to develop using this approach and even has a blog discussing the experiments and process.

The customer as lab rat is such a common start-up tactic that companies like landerApp now offer cut price landing pages with A/B testing built in.

For many, the use of lean start-up methods is a welcome application of scientific principles to the design of new products and services. This is what OKCupid has been doing with its users. I would personally prefer to use a product like OKCupid, which is constantly on the look out for a new way to improve its algorithms and interface design over another company which is sitting back deluding itself that it has the ultimate (but untested) method.

A/B testing is a common aspect of most commercial and even not-for-profit Web sites, and we should be pleased about that. If the alternative is waiting until some entrepreneur magically comes up with the right product based on a guess then perhaps we should all be signing up for experimentation.

Perhaps the real revelation from OKCupid’s testing is that its findings suggest that even bad matches could come together as happily as good matches. This implies that for the one in five relationships that reportedly started online, all that angst-ridden form-filling and hand wringing about profile pictures was not necessary. You may as well enlist a gang of orangutans to throw darts at passers by until they find you a mate.

OKCupid does the service for you, producing less noise, less excrement and gets through significantly fewer bananas in the process.

OKCupid’s honesty about the testing and openness about the results is a sign that it has matured as a company.

Perhaps you should go out and print a job lot of T-shirts that read “It’s OK, I’m a lab rat.”

You never know, they might sell and you could start a business.

AUTO RACING

As probe begins, Stewart steps away from the track

By John Wawrow and Dan Gelston The Associated Press

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. — The collision was as common as any in racing.

Kevin Ward Jr.’s car spun twice like a top, wheels hugging the wall, before it plopped backward on the dimly lit dirt track.

In a sport steeped with bravado, what happened next was another familiar, but treacherous, move: Wearing a black firesuit and black helmet, the 20-year-old Ward unbuckled himself, climbed out of the winged car

into the night and defiantly walked onto the track at Canandaigua Motorsports Park.

He gestured, making his disgust evident with the driver who triggered the wreck with a bump: three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.

Ward, a relative unknown compared to NASCAR’s noted swashbuckler, was nearly hit by another passing car as he pointed with his right arm in Stewart’s direction. As he confronted Stewart in his passing car, disaster struck.

Ward was standing to the right of

Stewart’s familiar No. 14 car, which seemed to fishtail from the rear and hit him. According to video and witness accounts, Ward’s body was sucked underneath the car and hurtled through the air before landing on his back as fans looked on in horror.

Ward was killed. Stewart, considered one of the most proficient drivers in racing, dropped out of Sunday’s NASCAR race at Watkins Glen, hours after Saturday’s crash. And the sport was left reeling from a tragedy that

Tony Stewart, pictured, struck and killed Kevin Ward Jr., 20, a Sprint car driver who had climbed from his car and was on the track trying to confront Stewart during a Saturday race at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in upstate New York.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Debate over Redskins team name intensifies

Soggy victory McIlroy wins PGA with a 3-under 68 in thrilling show on wet turf

By Joseph White The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Mark Moseley has been associated with the Washington Redskins for some four decades as a league MVP kicker, member of a Super Bowl-winning team and general ambassador in his work with the franchise’s alumni association.

He’s seen the debate over the team’s nickname come and go since the 1970s, Dan Snyder usually as a flash-inthe-pan topic that disappears after a day or so.

This time is different. The campaign to ditch “Redskins” by those who consider it a racial slur has reached unprecedented momentum over the last 18 months. “We all thought it would just go away,” Moseley said. “Because it is such a ridiculous subject.”

Moseley concedes that the debate shows no signs of abating, and he’s recently become more active in supporting team owner Dan Snyder’s quest to keep the name. Both sides are digging in, the words are getting nastier, and there’s no real possibility of compromise: Either the name stays or it goes.

Theories abound as to why Snyder is on the defensive like never before.

“Politicians,” said Joe Theismann, Washington’s Super Bowl-winning quarterback in the 1982 season and

Mostly positive reviews for new tablets

By Teresa M. Walker The Associated Press

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Adjusting to new technology just isn’t easy for some people, even in the NFL where everyone is trying to find that winning edge.

Even in a pouring rain, Titans assistant coach Louie Cioffi flipped through soggy black-and-white printouts reviewing the opening series with his defensive backs. A couple times players shielded assistant coaches with towels to study photos of the Green Bay Packers.

So much for the NFL’s new tablets only a few steps away.

Teams wrapped up the first full preseason test of the new Surface tablet from Microsoft for NFL sidelines with mostly good reviews and some glitches to fix. And yes, they were designed with a protective case to survive rugged weather conditions.

Titans coach Ken Whisenhunt said Sunday he heard only positive feedback on the tablets and the photos available, especially upstairs in the coaching booth. He thinks the key

LOUISVILLE, Ky. ory McIlroy stood over a 10-inch putt in gathering darkness to win the PGA Championship as flashes from thousands of camera lit up Valhalla like a rock concert.

Everyone wanted to capture a moment from golf’s latest coronation.

In his biggest test, McIlroy played his best golf Sunday to win his second straight major and establish himself as golf’s next star.

And what a stage.

The final major was pure theater with an AllStar cast — Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler, Henrik Stenson all with a share of the lead on the back nine. The final two hours were filled with eagles and birdies, with tension and chaos.

McIlroy never had to sweat so much to win one

of golf’s biggest events. And that’s what made this major so much sweeter.

“It is the most satisfying,” McIlroy said. “To win it in this fashion and this style, it means a lot. It means that I know that I can do it. I know that I can come from behind. I know that I can mix it up with the best players in the world down the stretch in a major and come out on top.”

The final par — the easiest shot he faced all day — gave McIlroy a 3-under 68 to outlast Mickelson by a stroke and beat the darkness that threatened to spoil this show. He became only the fourth player in the last century to win four majors at 25 or younger. The others were Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones, three of the game’s

greatest players.

Boy Wonder appears on his way to belonging in that group.

“I didn’t think in my wildest dreams I’d have a summer like this,” said McIlroy, only the seventh player to win the last two majors of the year. “I played the best golf of my life. I really gutted it out today.”

But one of the greatest shows on soggy turf came with a most peculiar ending.

Three shots behind as he stood in the 10th fairway, McIlroy got back in the game with a 3-wood from 281 yards into 7 feet for eagle. He took the outright lead when all three of his challengers eventually made bogey, and finally gave himself some breathing room. With a 9-iron from a fairway bunker to 10 feet for birdie on the 17th, he took a two-shot lead going to the par-5 closing hole.

Emmert says NCAA will appeal O’Bannon ruling

By Michael Marot The Associated Press

Mark Emmert said Sunday that the NCAA will appeal a ruling that opens the door for college athletes to receive some of the money they help generate in major sports.

In the NCAA president’s first public comments since Friday’s ruling, Emmert told ABC’s This Week With George Stephanopoulos that college sports’ largest governing body found a lot in the decision that was “admirable” and some parts they disagreed with so strongly that they could not let it go unchallenged in court.

“Yes, at least in part we will,” Emmert said when asked whether the NCAA planned an appeal. “No one on our legal team or the college conferences’ legal teams Mark think this is a violaEmmert tion of antitrust laws and we need to get that settled in the courts.”

The NCAA’s decision to challenge the ruling is hardly a surprise.

Donald Remy, the organization’s chief legal officer, had repeatedly

said that if the NCAA lost, it would appeal the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court if needed. Many legal experts think this case could be heading that direction, though it’s unclear whether the nation’s highest court would take it.

“We remain confident that the NCAA has not violated the antitrust laws and intend to appeal,” Remy said in a statement released following the television show. “We will also be seeking clarity from the district court on some details of its ruling.”“ Joseph Farelli, an attorney with the New York-based law firm of Pitta & Giblin who specializes in labor law,

said the NCAA didn’t have a choice after U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken on Friday shot down the NCAA’s argument that its model of amateurism was the only way to run college sports. Wilken wrote that football players in FBS schools and Division I men’s basketball players must be allowed to receive at least $5,000 a year for rights to their names, images and likenesses, money that would be put in a trust fund and given to them when they leave school.

“I would expect them to appeal it

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP

Lefty ready to get back to work after loss

By Paul Newberry The Associated Press

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Phil Mickelson hardly sounded like a guy who nearly won his sixth major championship.

He was a bit put off by the way it finished.

More important, he wasn’t about to let a strong showing at the PGA Championship brighten the way he felt about this year.

There’s a lot of work ahead.

“I’ve got some regrouping to do these next three or four months,” Mickelson said Sunday night, standing in the darkness of Valhalla after losing to Rory McIlroy by a single shot.

“I have some glaring areas in my game that I have to work on.”

He was part of a riveting four-man duel in the raindelayed final round, but a costly bogey at the 16th denied Mickelson a chance to break his longest winless stretch since 2003. Lefty closed with a 5-under 66 for a 15-under 269 total, not quite good to deny to deny McIlroy his second straight major title.

For Mickelson, it was an encouraging performance after a largely disappointing season.

He hasn’t won since the 2013 British Open, and he wasn’t a factor in the first three majors this year.

Now, it’s time for the 44-year-old to get to work.

“I feel like if I’m able to continue to be strong and healthy and sharp in these areas of my game, I should have four or five good years,” Mickelson said. “These next three or four months will be critical for me

making sure that I address the issues and that I’m ready to go in 2015.”

What are his most pressing concerns?

Mickelson had a lengthy list.

“Short irons were terrible this year as a whole. It’s usually a strength, and I’ve got to get that back,” he said. Then Mickelson mentioned his driving, especially missing the fairway at the 16th and 17th holes. “Those two tee shots hurt. Those are things I’ve got to address. I’ve got to. I don’t mind being wild, but when you’ve got to get in the fairway, you’ve got to be able to do it.”

The finish was downright bizarre. A nearly two-hour suspension set up a race to the finish, and the last two groups — Mickelson and Fowler, followed by McIlroy and Bernd Wiesberger — arrived at the 18th tee one after the other, barely able to see the green 538 yards away.

After Mickelson and Fowler

hit their shots, the PGA of America told the final group to hit as well, essentially turning the final hole of a major championship into a foursome.

Mickelson’s caddie, Jim Mackay, was heard grumbling to the officials as they asked the next-to-last pairing to step aside so the last one could hit.

Then, after Mickelson and Fowler struck their second shots, McIlroy and Wiesberger hit as well. With all four at least near the green, Mickelson and Fowler played out.

Lefty nearly chipped in for eagle off the front of the green, which could have forced a playoff. But a birdie left him lacking by a shot when McIlroy blasted out of a bunker, two-putted for par and signed for 268.

Mickelson got in a bit of a shot at the PGA of America, mentioning that the organization only runs one tournament a year. But he acknowledged that the strange ending didn’t really affect the outcome.

“That’s not what we normally do,” he said. “But it’s not a big deal either way. At least that way, we had a chance to finish.”

For Mickelson, any chance of adding to his three Masters titles, last year’s British Open and the 2005 PGA Championship essentially ended at the 16th hole, where he drove into the rough, left his second shot short of a bunker and nearly chipped in, the ball catching the right lip of the cup before skidding 10 feet past. He missed the putt to save par, dropping out of the lead he shared with McIlroy.

When McIlroy rolled in a birdie at the 17th, the lead grew to two strokes heading to the final hole.

“It was a fun day for me to get in the mix and a fun day for me to make some birdies and move up early so that I had a good chance on the back nine,” Mickelson said. “Had I been able to finish those last five, six holes strong, I could have totally flipped the way I look at this year.”

Maybe his ninth runner-up finish in a major will turn out to be blessing.

“Regardless of how I played this week, I know that I’ve got to address some things,” Mickelson said. “These next four to five years, I really want to make them special.”

Mickelson extended his American record by qualifying for his 10th consecutive Ryder Cup team. The PGA was the final qualifying event for nine Americans to make the team that will face Europe late next month in Scotland. Mickelson jumped from 10th to fifth.

Victory: McIlroy combined 48-under par Continued from Page B-1 Because of a two-hour rain delay earlier, darkness was falling quickly and it wasn’t certain McIlroy would be able to finish.

McIlroy was allowed to hit his tee shot before Mickelson and Fowler had reached their drives. Both were only two shots behind, still in the game. McIlroy came within a yard of hitting in a hazard right of the fairway.

Then, the PGA of America allowed McIlroy to hit his second shot. Mickelson and Fowler had to stand to the side of the green.

“We were cool with hitting the tee shot,” Fowler said. “We weren’t expecting the approach shots.”

Fowler had a 50-foot eagle attempt to tie for the lead. He was well off the mark, and missed the short birdie putt attempt that cost him his third straight runner-up finish in a major. Mickelson was short of the green, and his chip came within inches of dropping for an eagle that would have tied him for the lead.

Mickelson appeared upset that they had to wait to finish the hole — not standard procedure in a PGA Tour event — and he made two references in a TV interview

that this is the only championship the PGA of America runs all year.

“It didn’t affect the outcome of the championship at all, I don’t think,” Mickelson said. “It’s not what we normally do. It’s not a big deal either way.”

Mickelson closed with a 66 and was runner-up for the ninth time in a major.

Fowler became the first player in history to finish in the top five at all four majors without winning one. He closed with a 68 and tied for third with Stenson, who fell out of a share of the lead by missing a 3-foot par putt on the 14th hole. Stenson shot a 66.

McIlroy hit his second shot into a bunker, and he had to two-putt from 35 feet for the win. He lagged the first one to tapin range, and the major was his. McIlroy repeatedly pumped his fist before letting out a scream above the gallery that had been treated to a Sunday it won’t soon forget.

McIlroy won his first two majors by eight shots at the 2011 U.S. Open and 2012 PGA Championship. Only a month ago, McIlroy took a six-shot lead into the final round of the British Open and completed a wire-to-wire win with only a brief scare.

This was different.

“I think I showed a lot of guts out there to get the job done,” he said.

It might not have been possible without a 3-wood on the par-5 10th hole. McIlroy watched Fowler make a 30-foot birdie putt ahead of him for the outright lead and knew it was time to get going. He hit his 3-wood lower than he wanted, and further to the left than he wanted, but it turned out perfect.

Once he joined the leaders with a birdie on the 13th, none of the contenders made another birdie the rest of the way until it was too late.

All that was left after an exhausting day of raw emotions was for McIlroy to summon enough energy to hoist the 27-pound Wanamaker Trophy. He crouched before the presentation, trying to collect his thoughts at the last moment.

Not since Woods in 2008 has anyone won three straight tournaments, and they were big ones — the British Open, a World Golf Championship and the PGA Championship. He played them in a combined 48-under par.

“He’s better than everyone else right now,” Mickelson said.

Stewart: Criminal charges not ruled out Continued from Page B-1 could have ripple effects from the biggest stock car series down to weeknight dirt track racing.

“There aren’t words to describe the sadness I feel about the accident that took the life of Kevin Ward Jr.,” Stewart said in a statement.

Authorities questioned the 43-year-old Stewart once on Saturday night and went to Watkins Glen to talk to him again Sunday. They described him as “visibly shaken” after the crash and said he was cooperative.

On Sunday, Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said that investigators also don’t have any evidence at this point in the investigation to support criminal intent. But he also said that criminal charges have not been ruled out.

The crash raised several questions: Will Ward’s death cause drivers to think twice about on-track confrontations?

Did Stewart try and send his own message by buzzing Ward, the young driver, only to have his risky move turn fatal? Or did Ward simply take his life into his own hands by stepping into traffic in a black fire suit on a dark track?

The only one who may have

that answer is Stewart.

David S. Weinsten, a former state and federal prosecutor in Miami who is now in private practice, said it would be difficult to prove criminal intent.

“I think even with the video, it’s going to be tough to prove that this was more than just an accident and that it was even culpable negligence, which he should’ve known or should’ve believed that by getting close to this guy, that it was going to cause the accident,” he said.

The sheriff renewed a plea for spectators to turn over photos and videos of the crash.

Investigators were reconstructing the accident and looking into everything from the dim lighting on a portion of the track to how muddy it was, as well as if Ward’s dark firesuit played a role in his death, given the conditions.

Driver Cory Sparks, a friend of Ward’s, was a few cars back when Ward was killed.

“The timing was unsafe,” he said of Ward’s decision to get out of his car to confront Stewart. “When your adrenaline is going, and you’re taken out of a race, your emotions flare.”

It’s often just a part of racing.

Drivers from mild-mannered Jeff Gordon to ladylike Danica Patrick have erupted in anger

on the track at another driver.

The confrontations are part of the sport’s allure: Fans love it and cheer wildly from the stands. Stewart, who has a reputation for being a hothead nicknamed “Smoke,” once wound up like a pitcher and tossed his helmet like a fastball at Matt Kenseth’s windshield.

“I’ve seen it many times in NASCAR, where a driver will confront the other one, and a lot of times they’ll try to speed past them. And that’s what it appeared to me as if what Tony Stewart did, he tried to speed past Ward,” witness Michael Messerly said. “And the next thing I could see, I didn’t see Ward any more. It just seemed like he was suddenly gone.”

The crash also raised questions about whether Stewart will continue with his hobby of racing on small tracks on the side of the big-money NASCAR races. He has long defended his participation in racing on tracks like the one where the crash happened, even as accidents and injury have put his day job in NASCAR at risk.

Saturday’s crash came almost exactly a year after Stewart suffered a compound fracture to his right leg in a sprint car race in Iowa. The injury cost

him the second half of the NASCAR season and sidelined him during NASCAR’s important Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship. Stewart only returned to sprint track racing last month.

The crash site is the same track where Stewart was involved in a July 2013 accident that seriously injured a 19-year-old driver. He later took responsibility for his car making contact with another and triggering the 15-car accident that left Alysha Ruggles with a compression fracture in her back.

“Everybody has hobbies,” he said last month, adding that “there are a lot of other things I could be doing that are a lot more dangerous and a lot bigger waste of time with my time off do than doing that.”

Greg Zipadelli, competition director for Stewart-Haas Racing, said Stewart felt strongly he should not race after the wreck. Regan Smith replaced him in his car.

“We’re racing with heavy hearts,” Smith said.

Tsonga beats Federer in Toronto final The Associated Press

TORONTO — Jo-Wilfried Tsonga won the Rogers Cup on Sunday, beating second-seeded Roger Federer 7-5, 7-6 (3) for his fourth straight victory over a higher-seeded opponent.

The 13th-seeded Frenchman won his first ATP Tour title of the season and 11th overall. He beat top-ranked Novak Djokovic on Thursday, eighth-seeded Andy Murray on Friday and seventh-seeded Grigor Dimitrov on Saturday.

“I think for me it’s going to be a new motivation because just last year I always lost against those guys and it was really frustrating for me,” he said. “Then today a win against [Federer], it’s good for me, it’s good for my ambition and it’s good for my career.”

Tsonga improved to 5-11 against Federer.

“I’m working hard, my motivation came back,” said Tsonga, who has battled knee problems over the last two years. “I want to win, I want to play my best tennis on the court. And it happened today.”

Federer dropped to 2-5 in finals this season, with his victories coming in Dubai and Halle. The Swiss star made several uncharacteristic errors and had a hard time with Tsonga’s powerful serve and ground strokes.

“I fought, I mixed it up and I was hoping to sort of sneak in a set and then maybe he would get a bit nervous or maybe would play a bad game,” Federer said. “But I just couldn’t create enough opportunities. So I think he deserved to win at the end of the day. It was pretty simple, in my opinion.”

The first set was a rather choppy affair.

Both players made some unforced errors over the first few games, but each held serve. Tsonga struggled with his first serve midway through the set, though his spin-heavy second serve was effective.

The quality of the match picked up late in the set.

With Tsonga serving at 5-5, Federer showed his skills at the net with a deft drop shot that a Tsonga could not retrieve.

The Frenchman held to put the pressure back on Federeer.

Federer struggled in the final game, spraying two shots long to fall behind 30-15. He pulled even with a winner, but was wide with a groundstroke that was unsuccessfully challenged, setting up the first break point opportunity of the set.

Federer launched a ball well long to give Tsonga the opening set in 44 minutes.

Jays beat Tigers in 19-inning marathon The Associated Press

TORONTO — Jose Bautista’s single in the 19th inning drove home the winning run as the Toronto Blue Jays 6 Blue Jays rallied from Tigers 5 a five-run deficit to win the longest game in franchise history, beating the Detroit Tigers 6-5 on Sunday.

Munenori Kawasaki singled off starter Rick Porcello (13-7) to begin the 19th and advanced to third when second baseman Ian Kinsler couldn’t field an errant throw from Porcello on Jose Reyes’ sacrifice bunt.

Melky Cabrera was intentionally walked to load the bases for Bautista, who ended it with a single to right over the drawn-in outfield, sending his teammates streaming out of the dugout in celebration.

At 6 hours, 37 minutes, it was the longest game by time in Blue Jays history, easily surpassing a 5:57 game against the Yankees on April 19, 2001.

RED SOX 3, ANGELS 1 In Anaheim, Calif., Yoenis Cespedes hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning, Rubby De La Rosa pitched five-hit ball into the eighth and the Red Sox bounced back from a 19-inning loss with a victory over the Angels.

The teams returned just 12 hours after the longest game in the majors this season, a 6½-hour epic won 5-4 by the Angels on Albert Pujols’ homer well after midnight.

MARINERS 4, WHITE SOX 2 In Seattle, Austin Jackson, acquired in a trade with the Detroit Tigers before the deadline, matched a career-high with four RBIs to lead the Mariners to a victory over Chicago.

Logan Morrison began a twoout rally for the Mariners in the second inning off Chicago’s John Danks (9-8) with a hard line drive single off the wall in right field. Infield singles by Chris Taylor and Jesus Sucre loaded the bases for Jackson.

INDIANS 4, YANKEES 1 In New York, Carlos Carrasco rejoined the Cleveland rotation in fine fashion by pitching five dominant innings and the Indians nearly tossed another shutout at Yankee Stadium, beating New York.

Jacoby Ellsbury homered with two outs in the ninth off Indians closer Cody Allen, ending New York’s season-worst scoreless streak at 19 innings.

TWINS 6, ATHLETICS 1 In Oakland, Calif., Kurt Suzuki hit a tiebreaking double, and Josh Willingham added two-run homer in the eighth inning, and the Twins snapped a 12-game losing streak to Oakland by beating the Athletics.

Brian Dozier connected for his 20th homer in the first before Suzuki and Willingham each had a big hit against Luke Gregerson (2-2) in the eighth.

RANGERS 6, ASTROS 2 In Houston, Nick Martinez got his first win since May 24, and Adrian Beltre and Shin-Soo Choo both homered to lead the Rangers to a victory over the Astros, snapping a seven-game skid against their in-state rivals.

Martinez (2-8), who was pitching on five extra days’ rest, allowed five hits and two runs over five innings to end a sevengame losing streak.

INTERLEAGUE CUBS 3, RAYS 2 (12 INNINGS) In Chicago, Anthony Rizzo hit a game-ending RBI single in the 12th inning, and the Cubs beat the Rays to avoid a three-game sweep.

The last-place Cubs struck out 17 times, running their total to 44 for the weekend series, but Rizzo and touted rookie Javier Baez had two hits apiece to key a 13-hit attack. .

CARDINALS 8, ORIOLES 3 In Baltimore, rookie Kolten Wong had four hits and scored twice, Peter Bourjos homered and St. Louis beat the Orioles to avoid a three-game sweep.

ROYALS 7, GIANTS 4 In Kansas City, Mo., Alex Gordon and Salvador Perez each homered and Danny Duffy pitched into the seventh inning as the Royals beat the Giants to extend their winning streak to seven games.

Kershaw wins 14th, Dodgers beat Brewers The Associated Press

MILWAUKEE — Clayton Kershaw won his 14th game to tie for the National League lead, and the Los Angeles Dodgers Dodgers 5 beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-1 on SunBrewers 1 day to avoid a threegame sweep in a matchup of divisional leaders.

Kershaw (14-2) allowed a run and six hits with two walks and six strikeouts in eight innings. He allowed leadoff hitters to reach base in four of the first five innings of an outing that might qualify as a subpar effort for the twotime Cy Young Award winner.

Nevertheless, the left-handed ace lowered his league-leading ERA to 1.78.

Adrian Gonzalez drove in two runs, and scored the go-ahead run in the fifth off Jimmy Nelson (2-3).

PHILLIES 7, METS 6 In Philadelphia, Ryan Howard had a game-ending single with two outs in the ninth inning after pinch-hitter Marlon Byrd had a tying hit and the Phillies pulled out a victory over the Mets.

Chase Utley singled, tripled, homered

’Topes loss puts team closer to elimination The end is almost here for the Albuquerque Isotopes.

After taking the opener of a fivegame road series at division-leading Las Vegas, the ‘Topes have dropped three straight to fall to a seasonworst 13½ games off the 51s’ lead in the Pacific Coast League’s Pacific Southern Division.

Albuquerque (55-67) has lost eight of its last 10, and its magic number for elimination from the playoff race is down to eight, meaning any combination of Las Vegas (69-54) wins and Isotopes losses means the end of all hope.

Albuquerque dropped a 7-5 deci-

and drove in three runs for the Phillies, who snapped a five-game skid against the Mets.

REDS 7, MARLINS 2

In Cincinnati, Devin Mesoraco hit his third grand slam of the season and

sion to the 51s on Sunday night at Cashman Field in Las Vegas, Nev. The Isotopes led 2-0 in the first inning, but the 51s scored six times in the fifth inning to take control.

They used three doubles, three singles and a home run from Taylor Teagarden to storm into the lead.

The Isotopes and 51s will play the finale of their five-game series at 8:05 p.m. Monday. Pitcher Zach Lee (6-10, 5.26 ERA) is scheduled to take the hill for Albuquerque, while Las Vegas will go with righty Rafael Montero (6-3, 3.28 ERA).

The New Mexican

drove in six runs, and the Reds salvaged the finale of a three-game series against the Marlins.

ROCKIES 5, DIAMONDBACKS 3 (10 INNINGS) In Phoenix, Corey Dickerson hit a tiebreaking homer with two outs in the

top of the 10th inning, and the Rockies avoided a seventh straight loss to the Diamondbacks.

Dickerson, hitless in four previous atbats, sent an 0-1 pitch from Oliver Perez (2-2) into the pool deck in right field for his 14th home run of the season.

PADRES 8, PIRATES 2 In Pittsburgh, Tyson Ross recovered from a two-run first to pitch six strong innings, and Seth Smith hit a basesloaded triple, leading the Padres to a victory over the Pirates.

Ross (11-10) allowed Gregory Polanco’s two-run shot in the first then shut down the Pirates. He yielded six hits and walked two.

BRAVES 3, NATIONALS 1 In Atlanta, Alex Wood set a career high with 12 strikeouts in 7⅓ innings, and the Braves beat Washington to continue their recent success against the Nationals.

By winning two of three in the weekend series, Atlanta cut Washington’s lead to 3½ games in the NL East.

The Braves are 9-4 against the Nationals this season and 22-10 in the series the last two years.

Self: Wiggins wants to be traded to Minnesota

By Dave Skretta The Associated Press

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Andrew Wiggins told Kansas coach Bill Self that he wants to be traded from Cleveland to Minnesota because the No. 1 overall pick believes it will be better for his long-term future.

Wiggins joined his former coach as a guest instructor at Self’s basketball camp in suburban Kansas City on Sunday. And while Wiggins declined to speak to the few reporters at Shawnee Mission West High School, Self said the rookie wants to carve out his own legacy in the NBA. “When all this trade stuff started, I talked to Andrew and Andrew told me, ‘I hope I get traded,’ ” Self said. “And I’m like, ‘No you don’t.’ And he said,

‘Coach, I do. It’s better for me, knowing my personality and what I need to do, to go somewhere where I’m forced to be something as opposed to going in there where they’re going to be patient with me and I’m going to be a piece.’ ” Earlier this week, The Associated Press and several other outlets reported a deal has been reached to send Wiggins, Anthony Bennett and a firstround pick to Minnesota for All-Star forward Kevin Love, who will join LeBron James and Kyrie Irving to form a new “Big 3” in Cleveland.

The deal cannot be consummated until Aug. 23, when Wiggins is eligible to be traded.

Self said that he initially thought everything worked out perfectly for Wiggins, who would

have a chance to win immediately in Cleveland. But he also saw Wiggins’ point: The low-key, soft-spoken swingman could fare better if he’s carrying the weight of a franchise.

That would never have happened if Wiggins was playing in James’s lengthy shadow.

“Even though in a weird way everybody would love the opportunity to play with LeBron because you’re guaranteed winning,” Self said, “for the longevity of his career, he needs to develop that mindset to be the guy, for him to be great, and I think being Minnesota will help him do that.”

Wiggins, who set numerous freshman records during his lone season with the Jayhawks, also appears to be a good fit for the Timberwolves. While his defense is already NBA-caliber, Wiggins

will be able to develop his offense alongside point guard Ricky Rubio in an up-tempo system.

Speaking of that offense, Wiggins took part in a modified game of horse on Saturday against former Kansas stars Jeff Graves, Jeff Hawkins and several young campers. After clanking a series of 3-pointers off the iron, Wiggins was the first contestant to be eliminated.

He took the ouster with a smile and a shrug, just as he has all of the trade talk.

“I think he’s handled everything great. He’s excited,” Self said. “I think the whole thing that’s been blown out of proportion a bit is that he’s been in limbo. He’s known since the summer that he’d be traded. It’s OK. In some ways he’s looking forward to going to Minnesota.”

NFL

Vikings tap veteran special teams coach to fill in

By Dave Campbell The Associated Press

MANKATO, Minn. — The Minnesota Vikings have hired Joe Marciano to fill in for special teams coordinator Mike Priefer, who must serve a threegame suspension for an anti-gay comment that prompted a complaint from a former player.

Coach Mike Zimmer announced Sunday that Marciano would work with the special teams until Priefer returns, likely Sept. 22.

“Our plan right now is for three weeks. Once Mike gets back then he’ll come back,” Zimmer said. “Joe was kind of retired. He’s got family things he has to take care of. He was

gracious enough to come up here and help us out and I appreciate that a lot.”

Marciano has coached NFL special teams for 28 years, including Joe Marciano 12 with the Houston Texans until they fired him with head coach Gary Kubiak near the end of last season.

Marciano has also coached in the league with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints. He joined the team for practice Sunday.

“We felt like, in our thinking, that it’d be good to get someone in here,

go through these next three weeks of camp, get a feel of exactly how we’re doing things where we can continue to speak the same language but have some veteran expeMike Priefer rience for these first couple ball games,” Zimmer said. “Especially with me being a new head coach, and I think the experience factor has been good.”

Priefer said he was told of the plan about a week prior to training camp.

He endorsed the decision despite his faith in assistant special teams coach Ryan Ficken.

“Ryan can handle it. There’s no doubt in my mind he can. I can understand why we would bring in a veteran coach, and the fact that Joe was available was a benefit and a plus for us,” Priefer said.

The Vikings ordered sensitivity training for Priefer after outside investigators corroborated ex-punter Chris Kluwe’s claim that Priefer tried to agitate him with homophobic language while Kluwe was advocating for same-sex marriage rights in Minnesota. In revealing last month their punishment of Priefer, the Vikings said his suspension could be reduced to two games at their discretion following his completion of the training.

Tablets: Some coaches still use printouts as backup Continued from Page B-1 now is just getting accustomed to using the tablet.

“One of the concerns that you had was the rain and how that would affect that, but it didn’t affect it last night,” Whisenhunt said. “And the players seemed to like it, too. I mean the ability to zoom in and out to see those looks is a pretty neat thing.

I think as the preseason progresses we’ll get more involved with those because it is a tremendous tool.”

The tablets also come with one very big difference from the black-and-white photos.

“It’s color,” Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III said, laughing. “We went from black-andwhite to color.”

The tablets had their biggest weather test in Nashville where a couple inches of rain fell Saturday night during the Titans’ 20-16 win over the Packers.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy also gave the tablets a rave review.

“It’s really convenient as far as having every series on the iPad as opposed to having a book for each series,” McCarthy said. “Very convenient and nice to not have to leave the sideline and go to the bench is something I haven’t had in a long time.”

Washington defensive backs coach Raheem Morris loves having the entire game right at his fingertips only a swipe away. That keeps him from scrambling for another batch of papers to find a pre- or post-snap look of what an opponent did earlier.

“It just helps coaches be more efficient, and anytime you help a coach be more efficient and save time, that’s ultimately what we’re all looking for,”

Green Bay Packers wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett on Saturday uses a computer pad in a rainstorm during a preseason game against the Tennessee Titans in Nashville, Tenn.

Morris said.

Coaches did run into some issues.

In Washington’s 23-6 win over New England, one tablet was missing a play from the first series

of the game that was on other tablets. That was corrected quickly.

Coaches also had to figure out which direction to swipe for the next picture. Usually, that involves dragging the finger left. This tablet requires a swipe right. Washington coach Jay Gruden called that a little weird, taking time to become accustomed to the difference. Still, count him among the converts to quickly check coverages or blitzes.

“Those tablets do come in handy and I think it’ll take some getting used to by the coaches, but I think they were good,” Gruden said.

Falcons coach Mike Smith called the tablets a “work in progress.” His coaches had better luck with them upstairs than on the sideline of their 16-10 win over Miami, and they also used the tablets at halftime. The tablets include no video, so their use currently has its limits.

“On the sideline it wasn’t as clear and as smooth as he would’ve liked it to be,” Smith said. “I think that can contributed to a number of things. It could be some tweaks we have to do in terms of software, but there’s also the possibility of the user not being familiar with all of the ways that you can move around on that tablet.”

Some coaches are sticking with the black-andwhite printouts the NFL will use all season as a backup like Arizona coach Bruce Arians. He joked he will “let Tom handle the high-tech stuff,” 75-year-old assistant head coach Tom Moore.

As for the players, the tablets are just another tool.

“They’re all tech-savvy,” Morris said. “They’ve got iPads, they walk around with these iPhones and all this stuff.”

Redskins: Owner says name will ‘never change’ Continued from Page B-1 another supporter of the name. “It’s an election year.”

Possible Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has called it “insensitive.” Fifty Democratic senators equated the name to “racism and bigotry.” Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who is mulling a run for president, said it is “probably time” for the name to change. President Barack Obama said he would “think about changing” the name if he owned the team.

But the politicians were late-comers. A confluence of events — and several missteps by Snyder and his organization — has made the issue a topic du jour.

It started with a February 2013 symposium on mascot history at the Smithsonian that left a 20-year-old Redskins fan so embarrassed that he took off his team gear and said: “I really don’t feel right wearing this stuff now.”

That was soon followed by the latest hearing in a long-running case brought by a group of Native Americans intent on stripping the team of

its trademark protection — the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office eventually ruled against the Redskins, but the case will likely be tied up in the courts for years. Then, last spring, the opposition got an unexpected boost from Snyder himself. The owner has always vowed never to change the name, but he came across as especially strident when he told USA Today: “We’ll never change the name. It’s that simple. NEVER — you can use caps.”

Soon, the Oneida Indian Nation in New York had joined the fray as a major player, buying television and radio ads in major markets — including one that ran during the NBA finals. Now, every time the team does anything to promote the name, Oneida counters with a news release within minutes. The anti-“Redskins” coalition never had an ally like it.

“They really put a lot of effort and personal time — and the important thing, money — into what we were doing,” said Suzan Shown Harjo, a longtime lead figure in the trademark case. “We’ve never had money before. We’ve always done this on a

wing and a prayer.”

When Snyder started an Original Americans Foundation to give financial support to Native American tribes, Harjo called it “somewhere between a PR assault and bribery.”

When a major sector of the United Church of Christ was preparing a vote to boycott the Redskins, the team tried to make its case by having three self-identified members of the Blackfeet Nation call church leader Rev. John Deckenback on the phone, but Deckenback said the three didn’t really push the team’s cause and called the interaction a “somewhat weird experience.”

A blogger hired by the Redskins to defend the team’s name quit after two weeks. The team tried to make it a big deal when a self-proclaimed Native American in favor of the name arrived two weeks ago at training camp, giving him a VIP pass and making him available to the media, but the man was a D.C.-area native who couldn’t spell the name of the tribe he said he was representing.

When the team unveiled a “Redskins Facts” website aimed at boosting

support for the name, The Washington Post examined the “facts” as presented and awarded the team a score of Three Pinocchios for leaving a “false impression.”

On his Redskins-owned radio station, ESPN 980, Snyder last week derided the “fun, chit-chat, cocktail talk about the name” and said detractors should be focusing more on the plight of Native Americans. His opponents point out that Snyder paid no heed to Native issues during his first 14 years as an owner and made it a focus only after the name debate swelled late last year.

“Dan Snyder’s comments are proof that he is living in a bigoted billionaire bubble,” was the Oneida Nation’s predictably swift response. “For him to claim that a racial slur is ‘fun’ is grotesque.”

Opponents see the rising opposition as part of a constant drip, drip, drip of anti-Redskins sentiment they hope will prevail.

“We’re in this until the name changes,” Oneida representative Ray Halbritter said.

NCAA: Does well in appellate system Continued from Page B-1 because now you’re going to have a permanent injunction that says the NCAA can’t regulate what colleges do with their student-athletes,” Farelli told The Associated Press. “If they don’t appeal, now you have a federal court precedent.”

If the NCAA allowed that decision to stand, Farelli said, it could lead to even more litigation against the NCAA on hot-button topics such as Title IX and whether there should be any cap on how much money athletes should receive.

Emmert acknowledged Sunday that Wilken’s decision could lead to a fundamental shift in college sports.

Historically, the NCAA fares better in the appellate system. According to a study released last month by Illinois professor Michael LeRoy, student-athletes suing the NCAA won 49 percent of the initial cases but the NCAA won 71 percent of the appeals in both the second and third rounds.

This time could be different because of the venue.

“The problem for the NCAA is that the appeal will be in the Ninth Circuit, and the Ninth Circuit is generally a labor-friendly circuit. Looking from the outside, it would likely favor O’Bannon,” said Michael McCann, director of the sports and entertainment law center at the University of New Hampshire School of Law. “It depends on which judges get the case and we won’t know that.”

Emmert did applaud parts of the decision that allow the NCAA to enforce other rules and the imposition of the cap.

But by the time the payments are supposed to begin in 2016, the NCAA could be operating under new rules.

The board of directors voted Thursday to give the five richest conferences more authority to unilaterally change some of the rules, a move that paves the way for giving players enough money to defray all or most of their college expenses including those that go beyond current limit of tuition, room and board, books and fees.

“There’s little debate about the need to do that,” Emmert said, “and I think this move will finally allow us to get there.”

Female pitching star leads team to LLWS BRISTOL, Conn. — Female pitcher Mo’Ne Davis led her team into the Little League World Series, throwing a three-hitter Sunday to lead Taney Youth Baseball Association Little League of Philadelphia to an 8-0 victory over a squad from Delaware.

Mo’Ne struck out six in the sixinning game in the Mid-Atlantic Regional championship game.

The 13-year-old will become only the 17th girl to play in the Little League World Series in 68 years. It starts Thursday in Williamsport, Penn.

It was her second win over Delaware-Newark National Little League in the regional. She struck out 10 in the previous victory.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dad disapproves of biracial dating Dear Annie: I am the mother of a biracial child. My son’s father, “Derek,” and I are not currently together, as he resides some distance away, but we visit often so Derek and our son can have a relationship. Ultimately, we would like to be together.

The problem is my father. He is not, and never has been, a fan of interracial dating. Over the past five years, he has come to accept his grandson, but on more than one occasion, he has expressed his “disgust” and “disapproval” of the relationship I have with Derek, even using the “N” word. I have zero tolerance for this. My father doesn’t have to like Derek, and I’ve never tried to force a relationship between them. But he needs to respect that I’m an adult, and regardless of whether Derek and I are together, I am going to encourage him to have a healthy relationship with our son.

How do I get my father to understand this and, in the meantime, allow him to have a relationship with his grandchild when he harbors such ignorance and animosity? — Stuck Dear Stuck: Hopefully, your father’s attitude will become more enlightened the more attached he becomes to his grandson.

Nonetheless, the way to deal with Dad is to set boundaries. Do not permit him to denigrate Derek in front of your child or you. If he does so, leave the premises immediately, not in anger, but out of necessity, saying, “Sorry, Dad, but I will not tolerate such remarks.” Be consistent and firm. You can train Dad how to behave whether he agrees or not.

Dear Annie: I have three grandchildren, two of whom seem to love me and want to spend time with me. But my son’s daughter recently graduated middle school, and I wasn’t invited. She said she thought I might embarrass her.

The reason for this is because I say things like, “Please be care-

ful if you are going somewhere I feel may not be safe.” She thinks I’m being racist, because some of those areas are inner-city neighborhoods. I mean no disrespect by this, but still would not go to an undesirable part of town at night regardless of who lives there.

I also told my grandkids that I would give them $5,000 if they graduated high school with all Bs or better. Unfortunately, the two older kids didn’t make it, but the youngest one is very bright and on track. But I now plan on revoking that offer because I’m not sure I want to spend so much money on a child who doesn’t welcome me at her graduation. Am I justified or not? — California Grandma Dear Grandma: It’s your money. You can do whatever you like with it. And she should have invited you to her graduation. But while we know you are concerned and caring, you also sound rather controlling. Is the gift for grades or behavior? Will you change it every time she does something you don’t like? And you mean well, but protecting her from unsafe areas is her parents’ job. Your warnings are likely what she hears from her folks all the time, so you are coming across as a scold. She’s 13 and in full teenage mode. You’ll get better results if you back off.

Dear Annie: “Old Friend” didn’t indicate whether she missed the funeral out of choice or due to lack of information. She said she had not been in touch with the deceased in months.

This past year, I missed the funeral of a dear friend’s mother.

We always sat together at family dinners, and my lack of presence was noted. But the reason I didn’t attend is that when calls were made regarding the funeral, I was inadvertently left off the list. It was an oversight. I would have been there had I known. The family felt sad that I missed it, but they were not critical. — S.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You might want to see beyond the obvious, but you could have an issue getting past an immediate problem. Tonight: Pace yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be weighing the pros and cons of several situations. You might not know what would be the best way to handle a personal matter. Tonight: Very playful.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Weigh the pros and cons of spending more time at home. Keep in mind that your imagination is likely to take off in that setting.

Tonight: Consider a home office.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You might want to reach out to someone who keeps popping into your mind. Circumstances could have pushed the two of you apart. Tonight: Surround yourself with music.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Know the costs of continuing as you have been.

The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words and words using an apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error. © 2014 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.
