Engineers to present request concerning decaying Defouri span to historic review board By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

City of Santa Fe engineers will seek an exception under historic preservation rules to demolish and replace a decades-old, deteriorating bridge in the downtown historic district. The request will be presented to the Historic Districts Review Board, which voted 3-2 Dec. 10 to designate the Defouri Street Bridge as a “contributing structure,” despite recommendations from city staff that it doesn’t qualify. The designation applies to a structure 50 years or older in a historic district that helps “establish and maintain” the district’s character. Because of the designation, the city, as the project applicant, must ask for an exception to demolish the bridge and avoid a requirement to replace it with material of a like kind. “What is there would not meet today’s standards,” project engineer Desirae Lujan said Friday. The bridge over the Santa Fe River, just north of the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, was originally built in the late 1930s and then reconstructed in 1959. The narrow span is the lowest-rated structure in the city and has been identified for replacement in state Department of Transportation bridge inspection reports since 1990. “The bridge is in such bad shape, it’s so far deteriorated, that we can’t rehab it or do any kind of cosmetic work to it to give it a longer life,” Lujan said. “It has to be replaced. With a rating as low as it has, it’s becoming unsafe.”

Weak security makes U.S. cardholders easy targets

Skip and Lois Tucker load their pickup with crates of bread donated from Lowe’s Super Save on Thursday.

n a chilly Thursday morning, Skip Tucker and his wife, Lois, drove their Ford pickup to the Lowe’s Super Save on St. Michael’s Drive to collect about 400 loaves of bread the store had donated to one of the city’s oldest programs aimed at easing hunger. “Sometimes we even fill up the back seat of the truck,” said Skip Tucker, who retired from the manufacturing industry. For the past year, he and Lois, a retired teacher, have been volunteering with Bienvenidos Outreach, a 25-yearold nonprofit that helps feed the homeless and needy in Santa Fe. The Tuckers collect donated food from local businesses year-round for the

NEW YORK — The U.S. is the juiciest target for hackers hunting credit card information. And experts say incidents like the recent data theft at Target stores will get worse before they get better. That’s in part because U.S. credit and debit cards rely on an easy-to-copy magnetic strip on the back of the card, which stores account information using the same technology as cassette tapes. “We are using 20th century cards against 21st century hackers,” says Mallory Duncan, general counsel at the National Retail Federation. “The thieves have moved on but the cards have not.” In most countries outside the U.S., people carry cards that use digital chips to hold account information. The chip generates a unique code every time it’s used. That makes the cards more difficult for criminals to replicate. So difficult that they generally don’t bother.

who experience food insecurity, which means they don’t know where their next meal will come from. About 15 percent of New Mexicans fall into that category, and about a third of those are children, the website says. Bienvenidos distributes food four days a week, Monday through Thursday. Executive Director Susan Tarver said the nonprofit averages about 125 boxes a day, filled with bread, fruits, milk, eggs and canned goods. The group also distributes bagged lunches to homeless people. And around the Christmas season, families are invited to apply for gifts for their children. Tarver said the organization got its start 25 years ago, distributing bag lunches for the

Museum’s annual open house entertains young, young at heart By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

Bob Fries is not a child, but he played with a marionette version of Santa Claus on Sunday as a kid might. Fries flicked the tiny Saint Nick’s legs and said, “I just love his shoes.” Fries even sang “God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman” with the marionette’s puppeteer. Fries was among hundreds of adults and children who flocked to the New Mexico Museum of Art for its annual holiday open house and presentation of famed artist Gustave Baumann’s marionettes.

organization, which also collects toys for lowincome children during the holiday season. Not long after the Tuckers moved to Santa Fe from Connecticut, a neighbor asked Skip Tucker if the couple would like to help Bienvenidos. “He took one look at the truck and said, ‘You know, I could use some folks like you to haul some food,’ ” Skip Tucker recalled. As the couple loaded their pickup with crates of bread at Lowe’s, a Santa Fe Tortilla Co. truck arrived to deliver its order to the store. The driver had extra tortillas for the Tuckers. By the time the couple arrived at the Bienvenidos office, 1511 Fifth St., to drop off the goods, dozens of people had already lined up outside, waiting for boxes of food. According to Bienvenidos’ website, New Mexico ranks fourth in the nation for people

In brief Apple reaches deal to bring iPhone to China Mobile BEIJING — Apple says it has reached a deal to bring the iPhone to China Mobile, the world’s biggest phone carrier. The deal ends a lengthy courtship and could boost sales of the iPhone in China. The iPhone, once hugely popular in China, has been eclipsed by the rise of lower-priced rival smartphones from Samsung and Chinese companies. The iPhone 5S and 5C will go on sale in Apple stores and China Mobile stores beginning Jan. 17. China Mobile customers can register for phones starting Wednesday.

Tycoon Khodorkovsky vows to work for political prisoners BERLIN — Former Russian oil tycoon Mikhail Khodorkovsky is vowing to do all he can to ensure the release of political prisoners in Russia after his pardon and release. Khodorkovsky spoke at a packed and tumultuous news conference in Berlin on Sunday, two days after he was released and immediately flew to Germany. The 50-year-old said he shouldn’t be viewed as a symbol that there are no political prisoners in Russia and said he would do “all I can do” to ensure the release of others.

CAIRO — In a rare public apology, the military leader of al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen has said that one of his fighters disobeyed orders and attacked a hospital attached to the Defense Ministry during a December assault that killed 52 people. Qassim al-Rimi, commander of al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, said in a video posted on militant websites that the attackers were warned in advance not to enter the hospital within the complex, nor a place for prayer there. But he said one fighter did. “Now we acknowledge our mistake and guilt,” alRimi said in a video released late Saturday by al-Qaida’s media arm al-Mallahem. “We offer our apology and condolences to the victims’ families. We accept full responsibility for what happened in the hospital and will pay blood money for the victims’ families.”

Nearly half of immigration judges are eligible to retire MIAMI — The nation’s already backlogged immigration courts might soon be thrown into more havoc as roughly half of their 220 judges will be eligible for retirement next year. The Executive Office for Immigration Review oversees the nation’s 59 immigration courts. The office says the court already has 32 vacancies, contributing to the current backlog of nearly 350,000 cases. Judges are overwhelmed, and immigrants with legitimate asylum claims can spend years in legal limbo. Meanwhile, immigrants without legitimate legal claims remain in the country, and Americans foot the bill for extended detention stays. The Associated Press

CAIRO — An Egyptian court has convicted three of the country’s most prominent secular activists from its 2011 uprising for holding a rally without authorization and attacking police officers, sentencing them to three years in prison. Judge Amir Assem also fined them $7,000 in his verdict Sunday. Activists Ahmed Maher, Ahmed Douma and Mohammed Adel are founding members of April 6, Egypt’s leading youth movement, which was one of the rallying forces behind the 2011 protests against Hosni Mubarak. They are the first to be convicted under a new law that restricts protests, a law implemented by the country’s military-backed interim government and widely criticized by human rights groups and politicians.

Rebel forces hold key oil capital in South Sudan By Rodney Muhumuza The Associated Press

KAMPALA, Uganda — South Sudan’s central government lost control of the capital of a key oil-producing state Sunday, the military said, as renegade forces loyal to a former deputy president seized more territory in fighting that has raised fears of full-blown civil war in the world’s newest country. Bentiu, the capital of oil-rich Unity state, is now controlled by a military commander loyal to former Vice President Riek Machar, said Col. Philip Aguer, the South Sudanese military spokesman. “Bentiu is in the hands of a commander who has declared support for Machar,” he said. “Bentiu is not in our hands.” The armed rebels were said to be in control days earlier of some of South Sudan’s oil fields, which have historically been a target for rebel movements, endangering the country’s economic lifeblood. South Sudan gets nearly 99 percent of its government budget from oil revenues, and the country reportedly earned $1.3 billion in oil sales in just five months this year, according to the London-based watchdog group Global Witness.

Although the country’s capital, Juba, is mostly peaceful a week after a dispute among members of the presidential guard triggered violent clashes between military factions, fighting continues as the central government tries to assert authority in the states of Unity and Jonglei. Bor, the capital of Jonglei, is said to be the scene of some of the fiercest clashes between government troops and rebels. Michael Makuei Lueth, South Sudan’s information minister, said Machar was believed to be hiding somewhere in Unity state. “He is a rebel, he’s a renegade and we are looking for him. He’s moving in the bushes of South Sudan,” Lueth said of Machar. The U.N. Mission in South Sudan said in a statement Sunday that all non-critical staff members in Juba are being evacuated to Uganda. The mission said the move was “a precautionary measure to reduce pressures on its limited resources” as it continues to provide assistance and shelter to more than 20,000 civilians gathered inside its compounds in Juba, the mission said in a statement.

deployed to reinforce the U.S. Embassy in Juba. Obama is on his annual vacation in Hawaii, but he said in the letter to congressional leaders that he’s monitoring the situation. “I may take further action to support the security of U.S. citizens, personnel, and property, including our Embassy, in South Sudan,” Obama wrote. On Saturday, gunfire hit three U.S. military aircraft trying to evacuate American citizens in Bor, wounding four U.S. service members in the same region as gunfire that downed a U.N. helicopter Friday. The wounded

Sudan, said the evacuation doesn’t mean the U.N. is “abandoning” South Sudan. “We are here to stay and will carry on in our collective resolve to work with and for the people of South Sudan,” she said. “To anyone who wants to threaten us, attack us or put obstacles in our way, our message remains loud and clear: We will not be intimidated.” Hundreds have been killed in the fighting, and world leaders are concerned about civil war in a country with a history of ethnic violence and divided military loyalties. The U.S. and other countries have been evacuating their citizens from South Sudan. The U.S. has evacuated about 680 Americans and other foreign nationals so far, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement. President Barack Obama told U.S. Congress he may take further military action to protect Americans in South Sudan. In a letter to Congress, Obama said that about 46 U.S. troops were deployed Saturday to help evacuate Americans. That’s in addition to another 45 troops

troops are in stable condition, the White House said. It remains unclear how many Americans are still stranded in Bor and other rural towns.

Earlier this week, the top military general in Bor defected with his troops, starting a rebellion that appears to be spreading to other parts of the country.

Dems seek more female governors Of five women who sit in highest state office, four — including N.M.’s Susana Martinez — belong to GOP By Steve Peoples The Associated Press

A customer signs for a credit card transaction at a Target store in Tallahassee, Fla., in January 2008. Experts say incidents like the recent data theft at Target stores will get worse before they get better, in part because U.S. credit and debit cards rely on an easy-to-copy magnetic strip on the back of the card.

Targets: Additional security is expensive Continued from Page A-1 “The U.S. is the top victim location for card counterfeit attacks like this,” says Jason Oxman, chief executive of the Electronic Transactions Association. The breach that exposed the credit card and debit card information of as many as 40 million Target customers who swiped their cards between Nov. 27 and Dec. 15 is still under investigation. It’s unclear how the breach occurred and what data, exactly, criminals have. Although security experts say no security system is failsafe, there are several measures stores, banks and credit card companies can take to protect against these attacks. Companies haven’t further enhanced security because it can be expensive. And while global credit and debit card fraud hit a record $11.27 billion last year, those costs accounted for just 5.2 cents of every $100 in transactions, according to the Nilson Report, which tracks global payments. Another problem: retailers, banks and credit card companies each want someone else to foot most of the bill. Card companies want stores to pay to better protect their internal systems. Stores want card companies to issue more sophisticated cards. Banks want to preserve the profits they get from older processing systems. Card payment systems work much the way they have for decades. The magnetic strip on the back of a credit or debit card contains the cardholder’s name, account number, the card’s expiration date and a security code different from the three- or four-digit security code printed on the back of most cards. When the card is swiped at a store, an electronic conversation is begun between two banks. The store’s bank, which pays the store right away for the item the customer bought, needs to make sure the customer’s bank approves the transaction and will pay the store’s bank. On average, the conversation takes 1.4 seconds. During that time, the customer’s information flows through the network and is recorded, sometimes only briefly, on computers within the system controlled by payment processing companies. Retailers can store card numbers and expiration dates, but they are prohibited from storing more sensitive data such as the security code printed on the backs of cards or other personal identification numbers. Hackers have been known to snag account information as it passes through the network or pilfer it from databases where it’s stored. Target says there is no indication that security codes on the back of customer credit cards were stolen. That would make it hard to use stolen account information to buy from most Internet retail sites. But the security code on the back of a card is not needed for in-person purchases. And because the magnetic strips on cards in the U.S. are so easy to make, thieves can simply reproduce them and issue fraudulent cards that look and feel like the real thing. “That’s where the real value to the fraudsters is,” says

Chris Bucolo, senior manager of security consulting at ControlScan, which helps merchants comply with card processing security standards. Once thieves capture the card information, they check the type of account, balances and credit limits, and sell replicas on the Internet. A simple card with a low balance and limited customer information can go for $3. A no-limit “black” card can go for $1,000, according to Al Pascual, a senior analyst at Javelin Strategy and Research, a security risk and fraud consulting firm. To be sure, thieves can nab and sell card data from networks’ processing cards with digital chips, too, but they wouldn’t be able to create fraudulent cards. Credit card companies in the U.S. have a plan to replace magnetic strips with digital chips by the fall of 2015. But retailers worry the card companies won’t go far enough. They want cards to have a chip, but they also want each transaction to require a personal identification number, or PIN, instead of a signature. “Everyone knows that the signature is a useless authentication device,” Duncan says. Duncan, who represents retailers, says stores have to pay more — and banks make more — on transactions that require signatures because there are only a few of the older networks that process them, and therefore less price competition. There are several companies that process PIN transactions for debit cards, and they tend to charge lower fees to stores. “Compared to the tens of millions of transactions that are taking place every day, even the fraud that they have to pay for is small compared to the profit they are making from using less secure cards,” Duncan says. Even so, there are a few things retailers can do, too, to better protect customer data. The most vulnerable point in the transaction network, security experts say, is usually the merchant. “Financial institutions are more used to having high levels of protection,” says Pascual. “Retailers are still getting up to speed.” The simple, square, cardswiping machines that consumers are used to seeing at most checkout counters are hard to infiltrate because they are completely separate from the Internet. But as retailers switch to faster, Internetbased payment systems they may expose customer data to hackers. Retailers need to build robust firewalls around those systems to guard against attack, security experts say. They could also take further steps to protect customer data by using encryption, technology which scrambles the data so it looks like gibberish to anyone who accesses it unlawfully. These technologies can be expensive to install and maintain, however. Thankfully, individual customers are not on the hook for fraudulent charges that result from security breaches. But these kinds of attacks do raise costs —and, likely, fees for all customers. “Part of the cost in the system is for fraud protection,” Oxman says. “It costs money, and someone’s going to pay for it eventually.”

NEW YORK — The Democratic Party claims to be the natural home for women. The numbers tell another story when it comes to the nation’s governors. Republicans, four women: Jan Brewer in Arizona, Susana Martinez in New Mexico, Mary Fallin in Oklahoma and Nikki Haley in South Carolina. Democrats: Maggie Hassan in New Hampshire. For the GOP, often accused of waging a “war on women,” this advantage offers a powerful tool in the competition for female voters. “We have to show the fact there is no war on women,” said Nikki Haley, who’s in her first term. “The more Republican women out there, the better our case is.” Democratic leaders, backed by national women’s groups, are trying to turn it around in gubernatorial elections next fall that feature no less than six high-profile female candidates. Their goal is to give Hassan, who faces re-election in 2014, some company. “My mother always used to say if you want something done, ask a busy woman,” says Rhode Island’s treasurer, Gina Raimondo, a 42-year-old mother of two young children who began her campaign last week. “People in Rhode Island want someone who’s going to do something.” Raimondo is a leading contender in the crowded Democratic primary to succeed Lincoln Chafee, the Democratic incumbent who’s not running for a second term. In Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Texas, there also are strong female candidates. Gender is not a central issue in theses contests, but the Democratic women are using their backgrounds to help distinguish themselves. Several candidates interviewed by The Associated Press said that the real-world stresses of raising families help them connect with voters, while shaping their priorities on issues such as health care, education and jobs. In some cases, they’re up against male incumbents who elevated women’s issues by backing conservative social priorities on abortion, contraception and “equal pay” legislation. In Pennsylvania, Democratic U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz charges that Republican Gov. Tom Corbett has “almost been dismissive of women,” particularly on issues such as “access to family planning and reproductive rights.” Corbett has drawn criticism for cutting education, and like other Republican

governors, supported legislation requiring women to get ultrasounds before having abortions. That idea never became law, but Corbett did say that women should close their eyes if they felt the procedure was too obtrusive. “It is important for us in Pennsylvania to see a new and different kind of leadership that will move the state forward. It may well take a woman to do that,” Schwartz told a recent gathering of Pennsylvania politicians in New York City. She’s considered the early front-runner in the primary. In state and national elections, women are a powerful voting bloc. In presidential races, a Republican candidate has not won a majority of women since 1984. In the 2010 congressional elections, however, exit polls found that women voted for Republicans and Democrats almost evenly, helping to propel the GOP to the U.S. House majority. Since then, Republicans have suffered from several self-inflicted wounds. For example, in 2012, Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin of Missouri suggested that women’s bodies could prevent impregnation in cases of “legitimate rape.” A report from the Republican National Committee this year detailed the scope of the problem. “Women are not a ‘coalition.’ They represent more than half the voting population in the country, and our inability to win their votes is losing us elections,” it said. Republicans such as South Carolina’s Haley are in a unique position to balance damage done from party leaders elsewhere. “Women can’t help it when men say ignorant things,” she said. “What we can do is try to make sure we continue to refo-

cus people on what’s important and back on the issues.” Haley, Martinez and Fallin are running for re-election in 2014. Brewer hasn’t decided whether she will challenge term limits set in the Arizona Constitution. Democrats lost two female governors in recent years when President Barack Obama appointed Arizona’s Janet Napolitano and Kansas’ Kathleen Sebelius to his Cabinet. None of the Democrats’ 2014 female candidates are considered sure bets. In Republican-friendly Texas, Democratic strategists are skeptical about the chances of state Sen. Wendy Davis, who developed a national following after her filibuster of a Republican-backed abortion bill. Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley is trying to become the state’s first female governor elected in a general election. Raimondo and Schwartz are trying to become their states’ first female chief executive, as is Wisconsin businesswoman Mary Burke. Burke is the likely challenger for Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who has pursued social conservative priorities on women’s issues as he weighs a 2016 presidential bid. “There are a lot of areas where women in the state aren’t getting a fair shake,” Burke said. Burke cited Walker’s repeal of legislation designed to deter employers from wage discrimination based on age and gender. Walker also signed into law legislation that singled out abortion clinics in requiring their doctors to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals, which would reduce the number of abortion providers.

Bridge: Board to consider request Jan. 14 Continued from Page A-1 Plans call for replacing the 30-foot-wide bridge, which is in a designated flood hazard area, with a 41-foot-wide precast bridge deck “with a deep foundation system consisting of either driven steel pipes or cast in place concrete drilled shafts.” Some neighbors have expressed concerns about the width of the proposed replacement bridge. During a board meeting in September, those

residents said the city failed to take their input into consideration. “The width seems to have magically been determined without any input from the neighbors,” Ellen Bradbury, who lives on Alto Street, said at the time. The historic review board will consider the city’s request Jan. 14. In a memo to the board, the city said it would be a “hardship to the traveling public” to

allow the bridge to remain in its current condition. “The proposed design maintains the character of the existing [bridge] by utilizing the existing bridge abutments, therefore maintaining the river channel and aesthetic character that currently exists,” the memo states. “The design façade is proposed to remain similar [in] depth with response to the high beam. These efforts represent the design team’s endeavors to not damage the

character of the district.” Isaac “Ike” Pino, director of the city’s Community Services Department, said the existing deck, rails and other parts of the bridge could “probably” last several more years. But, he said, the substructure, including precast concrete channel beams, is “substantially deteriorated.” Contact Daniel J. Chacón at 986-3089 or dchacon@ sfnewmexican.com.

Johnson The Associated Press

health insurance exchanges offer policies ranked as bronze, silver, gold and platinum. The bronze options have the lowest monthly premiums but high deductibles — the amount the policyholder must pay before the insurer picks up any of the cost of medical care. On average, a bronze plan’s deductible is more than $4,300, according to an analysis of marketplace plans in 19 states by Avalere Health. A consumer who upgrades to a silver plan could reduce the deductible to about $2,500. A top-of-the-line platinum plan has the lowest average deductible: $167. Comprehensive data on premiums isn’t available, but in one example, a 30-year-old in

Chicago would pay an average of $222 per month for a bronze plan, $279 for a silver or $338 for a platinum. The complexities of insurance are eye-glazing even for those who have it. Only 14 percent of American adults with insurance understand deductibles, according to one recent study. The danger of a wrong snap judgment is great for those under financial pressure — especially those with modest incomes who make too much to qualify for the government subsidies available under the new health care system. Subsidies aren’t available for individuals making more than $45,960. Most of the uninsured make

less than that, but many still pick the cheapest plans. “Price rules,” said John Foley, a Legal Aid counselor in Palm Beach, Fla., who has been helping people enroll. Some applicants see the catch. “The real big surprise was how much out-of-pocket would be required for our family,” said David Winebrenner, 46, a

financial adviser in Lebanon, Ky., whose deductible topped $12,000 for a family of six for a silver plan he was considering. The monthly premium: $1,400.

a first nieve had already fallen en la tierra. Todos los fields estaban covered con una blanket of snow, y Canutito could hardly wait to go pa’afuera to slide around in it. He put on a double pair de medias over his feet and on top of them, he fastened sus sobrezapatos. Once que sus overshoes were abrochãos, he stumbled over to la cocina Larry Torres where grampo Growing up was trying de Spanglish hacer unos sit ups, pero su big ole panza kept getting en el way. “Wow, grampo,” remarcó el muchachito, “You must have gotten up con mucha energía esta mañana.” “Sí, m’hijo,” Grampo Caralampio huffed. “Mi resolución del New Year es de hace más exercise todos los días. Y anoshe que I slept murre bien, I got up todo ‘invinegarated.’ ” “Uh, grampo,” stammered Canutito, I think que la palabra is not pronunciada así. I believe que it is pronounced ‘invigorated’ y no ‘invinegarated’.” “¿Qué es la diferencia?” grampo asked. “La first word hace mean que you have ‘mucho vigor’ y la second palabra hace mean que ‘you were pickled en vinagre.’ ” “Oh, no hace any difference, m’hijo,” grampo countered. “El punto es que I feel más nice que qué esta mañana. Maybe que I’ll take up jogging like I used to do.” “¿Cuándo iba jogging?” Canutito wondered en silencio, “¿En los 1960s?” “In any case, m’hijo,” grampo continuó, “Maybe que I’ll go pa’afuera contigo and slide around en la nieve pa’hacer raise mi blood pressure un poquito. They say que ése es muy buen ejercicio para el corazón.” Los dos went out pa’l garage donde la sled estaba hanging de los rafters. Canutito unhooked su chalupa from where it was hanging and put it down en la nieve. Estaba un poco dusty and it had some telarañas on it pero el muchachito didn’t mind las cobwebs porque he could already see himself resbalándose down the hill como a 40 miles an hour. He pulled his chapula up pa’l mero top of the hill and se preparó to resbalarse. Grampo huffed and puffed to the top de la loma con él. Canutito looked at him todo cansão. “Grampo,” he suggested, “maybe que you should give up fumando your cigarritos como parte de your New Year’s resolution.” “Giving up mis cigarritos no en una resolución,” grampo snapped back. “Eso es un sacrificio, una penitencia, un tormento, un purgatorio. It would be easier para mí de hacer give up a tu grama que de chupar mis cigarritos.” “No era más que una sugestión, grampo,” Canutito remarked. Canutito sat down at the front de la chalupa y grampo hizo decide to join him y se sentó at the back de la chalupa. “¿Estamos listos to go?” Canutito called over his shoulder. “Jesús y Cruz,” grampo replied, and down the loma they went bien recio. “Wee!” Canutito called back to grampo. “This is mucho fón.” “Sí es un fonaso bárbaro,” grampo agreed cuando they got to the bottom de la loma. “Todo este exercise me dió un big appetite. Vamos a ver lo qué tu grama nos hizo cook for breakfast. I hope que she still has some to those shisharrones que she had anoshe. Maybe que she has some biscochitos to hacer dunk en el café and queso de marrano to spread en el toast.” “Grampo,” Canutito said, “If you eat todas esas cosas, you will have to exercise todos los días until en fin del mundo AND give up your cigarritos también.” “Sí,” grampo agreed, “pero it will be worth it …”

NEW YORK — I was happy watching television shows and movies on my computer — until I realized what I was missing. Streaming video devices such as Roku, Apple TV and Google’s Chromecast project video from Netflix, YouTube and other services onto the big-screen TV. Suddenly, the computer seems inadequate. Internet television will never be the same. Internet-connected TVs, TiVo digital video recorders and various game consoles also come with apps for video services. But frequent users of these services will likely want a device that focuses on doing that one thing well. People must still subscribe individually to Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, Major League Baseball and other services, though that can often be done right from the TV screen. Some services require a subscription with certain cable or satellite TV providers. With HBO Go, for instance, Comcast and DirecTV subscribers can use Apple TVs but not Rokus, while it’s the other way around with Charter.

Roku 3 ($100) Roku started as a project within Netflix, which was looking for a cheap way for subscribers to get Internet movies and TV shows onto regular TVs. Roku was spun out into a separate company, and the device now works all major video services except Apple’s iTunes. It also plays games such as Angry Birds, offers language lessons, supports music services such as Pandora and Spotify, and lets you browse photos on Smugmug, Flickr and other services. All told, there are more than 1,000 apps available from Roku’s store, many of them free. Apps often replicate the experience on the services’ websites. With Hulu, for instance, you can browse video by genre or play items in your queue. With Netflix, you get profiles for up to five individuals, with separate recommendations and watch lists. With each service designing its own app, it feels as though I have 1,000 devices in one.

Each app has its own on-screen keyboard when searching for video. The remote’s up button gets me options such as closed captioning on Hulu, but it exits the video on Amazon and Netflix. Roku’s remote control has an unconventional headphone jack. Plug a pair in, and sound on the TV will automatically turn off. That’s great if others in your household are trying to read or sleep. Like Apple TV and Chromecast, the Roku 3 requires a high-definition TV with an HDMI port. Roku has cheaper models that work on older TVs, but they have slower processors and require Wi-Fi. The Roku 3 and Apple TV let you plug in an Internet cable if your wireless connection is fussy.

Apple TV ($99) Think of Apple TV as a Roku with fewer apps — only 27, plus Apple’s own services. Apple is constantly adding new ones, and those get installed automatically. Apple wants to keep the device clean and focused on the services people use most. It offers Netflix, Hulu, PBS, HBO, ESPN, YouTube and more — though Amazon’s service is missing. However, Apple TV is alone in supporting Apple’s services. You can buy or rent iTunes content right from the device, or you can play music and video stored on iCloud or your computer, iPhone or iPad. Instead of Pandora or Spotify, you get Apple’s streaming music service, iTunes Radio. Where Apple TV excels is in consistency. The keyboard is the same whether you’re on HBO Go, Hulu Plus or Netflix, and the menu layout is similar from app to app. You can subscribe to many of the services right from the device and have that billed to your iTunes account. No need to search for your credit card each time, as Roku requires. Apple TV works fine as a stand-alone device, but much of its power comes from working with other Apple products. Place an iPhone or an iPad with iOS 7 near the Apple TV to bypass the initial setup and transfer account information wirelessly. With AirPlay, your iPhone, iPad or Mac can launch content not available through

the included apps. That’s the way I watched Margin Call on Amazon. Charter subscribers can watch HBO that way, too. Unfortunately, DVDs are blocked because of rights issues. You’ll have to figure out a way to hook up your computer to the TV directly, or buy a DVD player. On Windows computers, AirPlay is limited to iTunes content and photos. In many cases, you can keep using your phone or tablet while the video plays on the TV. With the latest Mac system, Mavericks, you also can turn the Apple TV into an extension of your desktop, though your Mac and Internet connection both need to be strong.

Chromecast ($35) Google’s device is a third the price of the others, but it’s also quite dumb by design. It is the size of a USB flash drive and plugs into an HDMI port. Turn on the TV — and nothing happens. It’s more of a conduit between the TV and your mobile device. Start by downloading Google’s Chromecast app on your Apple or Android device. Then download one or more of the 17 apps supported. The list is short, but growing. As with Apple TV, Amazon’s service isn’t supported. Neither is Apple’s iTunes. But it’s alone among the three devices to support music and video through Google Play. The Chromecast is the best option when individuals in a household have separate accounts for Hulu and other services. Each person controls the device from his or her phone; with Apple TV and Roku, it’s annoying to sign in and out each time. Once you have content running on your phone or tablet, you tap a button to fling it to the TV. You can then use your device for other things. You can fast forward, rewind or pause video from the phone, but you’re stuck with that video once the phone loses its connection with the Chromecast, which happened often. The Wi-Fi connection needs to be strong, and Chromecast offers no wired alternative, as the others do. From a personal computer, you can mirror a Chrome browser tab on the big screen. Again, the connection often cuts out. With all three devices, I have occasional problems with audio and video not syncing properly, making it seem as though I’m watching a badly dubbed foreign film. It happened most often on the Chromecast and the least on Apple TV. But I sometimes had hiccups when using AirPlay. Playing content through a native app is the smoothest option, and Roku has the most choices for that. For me, Apple TV is the best choice if you use iTunes and have other Apple gadgets.

Holidays key test for Nintendo as Wii U struggles By Yuriko Nagano The Associated Press

TOKYO — This holiday season, Nintendo faces a critical test with its Wii U video game console that is pitted against Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One as it seeks to revive flagging sales. Analysts say there’s a chance for the Kyotobased company to stage a turnaround as new game releases such as Super Mario 3D World and Wii Fit U could lift Wii U sales. Should lackluster sales persist, the company that shot to prominence in the 1980s with Family Computer consoles and Game Boy portables, might be forced to reconsider the core of its business strategy. Nintendo’s business, long associated with the hit Super Mario, Donkey Kong and Pokemon games, has been shaken in recent years as more people play games on their smartphones

and tablets. So far Nintendo has been steadfast in its refusal to adapt games for those devices. The company reported an $81 million loss for the three months ending Sept. 30. Quarterly Wii U sales nearly doubled to 300,000 units from 160,000 in the previous three months, but cumulative sales remained far short of the company’s goal of 9 million units for the financial year ending March 2014. Eiji Sato, analyst at Toyo Securities, said Nintendo needs “killer content” for the Wii U to turn around its business after a weak lineup of game titles added to its woes. That has caught the company in a vicious cycle because developers are reluctant to create games for a poor-selling console. Most game creators are also pouring resources into mobile games, which are easier and faster to develop compared with those for home game consoles that take more time, energy and expense due to the need for

higher quality graphics, said Sato. Nintendo’s management principle has been to increase the population of gamers in the general public. When its strategy works, Nintendo wins big, as it did with the motionsensing Wii in 2007, Sato said. The Wii U, the successor to the original Wii, reached cumulative global sales of 3.9 million units at the end of September since its launch over a year ago. In contrast, sales of Sony’s PS4 reached more than 2.1 million after going on sale Nov. 15. More than 1 million Xbox One machines were purchased on the first day of sales in 13 countries on Nov. 22. The arrival of the PS4 and XBox One leaves Nintendo in a “bad place in the console world,” said Steve Boxer, a game reviewer for The Guardian and an avid gamer. “If I was Nintendo, I would be thinking very hard about some means of damage limitation.”

NEW YORK — The latest fitness gadgets record much more than how many steps you take on any given day. From sleep patterns to mood, calorie intake and progress toward exercise goals, few aspects of life are left un-tracked for those searching for a more quantified self. These gadgets can be good for aspiring health nuts and couch potatoes needing inspiration to get active. But before you get one as a gift, consider this: Wristbands can be a commitment, style-wise and beyond. Some are meant to be worn around the clock and include options to manually enter every meal you had. Those who remember Tamagotchis know that constantly tending to your hungry gadget day after day can get tedious. Then there’s the message. Are you telling your sedentary cousin that he needs to get in shape? Before buying one of these, try to feel out what the gift recipient thinks of them and whether he or she will find it useful.

Fitbit Force ($130) This comprehensive fitness tracker does a little bit of everything. It’ll log how many steps you take, floors you climb, calories you burn and miles you move. Sync it with your computer or a smartphone app to set goals and see how you spend your waking — and sleeping — hours. Pros: It’s a sleek wristband with a display that functions as a watch and shows the day’s activity progress. It’s comfortable to wear sleeping or typing. It works as a silent alarm and will wake you up with a vibration if you wear it to bed. The app will help you create a food plan if you want to lose — or gain — weight. Cons: The clasp can be difficult to fasten; mine fell off once when I was taking off my coat because I didn’t know it wasn’t closed all the way. It doesn’t track your heart rate or skin temperature, both of which are crucial for some fitness gurus but aren’t included in any of these four gadgets. The app itself is not as visual as the Jawbone’s.

Fitbug Orb ($50) The Fitbug is the most versatile when it comes to wearability — crucial for any device meant to be worn constantly. The device itself is a round orb with a diameter of roughly an inch. You can insert it into a wristband, hang it on your belt or clip it into a bra. Pros: You can wear it on your wrist, but you can use an included “underwear clip” instead. Unlike the others, there’s no need to recharge the battery. Its replaceable battery should last six months or so. It’s far cheaper than any of its competitors and will track your sleep, unlike the Nike FuelBand. Cons: It’s big for a device that lacks a display. Because it looks like a watch, you want it to at least tell time. Instead, there’s a button to send data to your phone or computer, and a single light. It’s “splashproof,” rather than water resistant, so it’s probably not good to wear in the shower. Compatibility with mobile devices is limited to iPhones, iPads and certain Samsung Android devices.

Jawbone Up ($130) The Jawbone motivates without being unrealistic. If it’s near midnight and you are 5,000 steps from your goal, it’ll stay quiet. But if you’re just 50 steps away, you might get a notification to push you over. With a smartphone app, users can add “teammates” and track fitness, sleep goals and calories. You can add your mood manually. A “smart” alarm will wake you up by vibrating on your wrist up to 30 minutes before your designated wake-up time. This can make it easier to get up as it’ll vibrate when you are in a state of light sleep, rather than deep slumber. Pros: Easy to take on and off. It’s the smallest and least obtrusive of the four. It can almost pass for a bracelet. The battery lasted more than a week on a single charge when I tried it, and the app is fun and intuitive to use. Your “teammates” can leave comments and smileys on your activity. Cons: There’s no display, so you need to sync it with a smartphone to see your activities. It doesn’t work with computers. As with other fitness trackers, food logging and calorie counting can get tedious.

Nike FuelBand SE ($149) With its powerful brand name behind it, Nike broadened the appeal of fitness bracelets with the first FuelBand and improved on it with the SE. Unlike the other trackers, this gadget is meant only for your daily activity — no sleep patterns or cute mood icons here. Pros: Motivation, pure and simple. The wristband tracks your progress as it changes from red (lazy pants) to yellow (getting there) to green (whew). It flashes when you meet your daily goal and awards you badges for exceeding it. For example, you get a rainbow badge for tripling your daily goal. The display shows the time, steps taken, calories and the number of NikeFuel points earned. Its simplicity is part of the appeal for those looking for an easy-to-use fitness tracker. Cons: It’s the priciest of the bunch, yet it doesn’t track sleep patterns. Nike won’t reveal how it calculates NikeFuel points. In my tests, this one seems to have the shortest battery life of the four, lasting about a week.

FAMILY ‘Elf’ chagrins experts, delights kids Even last bookseller holdouts giving in to growing family tradition

Michael the Shelf Elf peeks out from a stocking at the Engers’ home in Downers Grove, Ill.

By Vikki Ortiz Healy Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO or Kelly James-Enger, breaking up battles between her two children is a year-round job. But lately, the Downers Grove, Ill., mother has enjoyed a little help from a wide-eyed elf named Michael. “I say, ‘You two need to stop fighting, or Michael’s going to go to the North Pole and tell Santa,’ ” said James-Enger, one of many parents who have adopted the tradition of The Elf on the Shelf, a popular children’s book that promotes the idea that Santa sends elves to watch kids and report good — or bad — behavior. An estimated 6 million copies of the book and its accompanying red elf toy have sold since it was released in 2005. Parents ask their children to name the elf, then help the doll “magically” appear in a new spot each morning, and often share elaborate hiding spot ideas on Facebook and Pinterest. A parody, The Elf off the Shelf, and “inappropriate elf” images on Google and YouTube also have fueled its popularity. “Almost all my girlfriends have one,” said James-Enger, who estimates that her children, Ryan, 8, and Haley, 3, argue 10 percent less in December thanks to Michael’s monitoring. But some parenting experts and booksellers question the December discipline tactic and its popularity. “I don’t think that’s a very good strategy,” said Margret Nickels, clinical psychologist and director of the Erikson Institute Center for Children and Families in Chicago. “It’s the parents who want to be in charge as the authority in the house. Not the elf or Santa Claus.” At Anderson’s Bookshops in Naperville, Ill., and Downers Grove, managers refused to sell the book for several years but relented after customers’ repeated requests. The store now carries The Elf on the Shelf, which retails for $29.95, but employees won’t recommend it, said

Becky Anderson, co-owner of the independent bookshops. “From our standpoint, we think it’s a little creepy,” Anderson said. “We think there are other ways to create a family tradition.” The Elf on the Shelf story went to print after Carol Aebersold, a retired music teacher from Atlanta, lamented that she felt useless after her children grew up and moved out. Then one day, one of her adult twin daughters, Chanda Bell, saw a familiar elf doll perched on Aebersold’s kitchen shelf. She suggested that her mother share the Christmas tradition their family had enjoyed for years, said Aebersold, who cowrote the book with Bell and is promoting the second book under the trademark.

According to the tale, the elf observes children’s behavior all day and returns to Santa while they sleep. To maintain the magic, children must never touch the elf. Parents help the elves find new spots to surprise the children each morning. Today, Aebersold, 65, said she is amazed at the merchandise her story has inspired, including coloring books and clothing. The kits are sold in stores nationwide, and the 50-employee company behind them contracts with several major retailers. “It blows my mind, but I feel so good knowing that I am actually leaving a legacy for my grandchildren,” she said. “And I am in awe of the creativity of some of these moms and dads who have come up with the things for the elf to do.”

Proper discipline: It hurts a child’s feelings so good Question: My 6-year-old daughter has recently learned to say, “You’re hurting my feelings.” This is part of her school’s anti-bullying program. The problem is, she’s now saying it to me when I discipline her. What should I say to her? In exasperation, I’ve said, “You hurt my feelings when you disobey me.” That seems to have some, admittedly small, effect. I hope you have a better idea. Answer: The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again! Over the past few years, a good number of parents have told me that their kids, when disciplined, complain of hurt feelings. The mystery as to the origin of this epidemic is solved! John A very wise man once said words to Rosemond this effect, “Proper discipline never feels Living With good at the time, but results in all manner Children of good in the long run.” In other words, discipline is not corrective if it does not feel “bad” to the person receiving it. It should “hurt” — not harm or abuse, just not feel good. That emotional memory is what deters future missteps of the same sort. So, don’t concern yourself with your daughter’s complaint. A proper response to her complaint is, “That means you heard me. Good.” And then, walk away. Question: Over the past year, the relationship between our 14-year-old son and his sisters has deteriorated markedly and is causing major problems in our family. He won’t speak to them and says he hates them. He’s also become very disrespectful toward me, his mom. He makes decent grades in school and has several friends. He plays video games and sports but appears not to care about his appearance or hygiene. Answer: This is the sort of problem that stretches my ability to be helpful through this format. It might be a good idea for you to make an appointment with a professional. I have one thought for your consideration, however. My antennae went up when you said your son plays video games. In my experience, the behaviors you’re describing are fairly typical of teen boys who are overinvolved with video games. Just as some adults who gamble become addicted, some teen boys who play video games become addicted. Remove the video game console from his room and get it out of the house. And again, please contact a trusted professional for ongoing guidance.

A Santa Claus marionette descends into a scene during Sunday’s show at the museum. PHOTOS BY KATHARINE EGLI/FOR THE NEW MEXICAN

Young: Museum expected record turnout Continued from Page A-1 entertain his family in their Santa Fe home, the Baumann marionettes now thrill Santa Feans young and old each year. Baumann died in 1971, but his daughter Ann gave the collection of 75 or so puppets to the museum, said the curator of education, Ellen Zieselman. The puppets in Sunday’s presentation were not Baumann originals, but replicas made in the 1990s. The originals, Zieselman said, are too fragile for regular appearances. In addition to the dancing marionettes, arts and crafts tables, a scavenger hunt and Santa Claus photo ops delighted children and the young at heart during Sunday’s open house. By 3 p.m., more than 900 people had visited the museum, and Zieselman expected that number to exceed 1,000 before the day’s end, a record. Many of the marionettes’ biggest fans, she said, were adults like Fries, who was visiting from out of town. One of the biggest attractions at Sunday’s event was the Santa Claus photo op. In somewhat of a role reversal, the marionette Santa sat in visitors’ laps. Jonathan Westen, who was visiting with his family from the San Francisco Bay Area, managed to snap a photo of his children, Sophie Westen, 9, and Owen Westen, 4, as they posed with the miniature Santa Claus and Arianna Gianelli, 7. Adults Oceanna Holton, Christina Arnal and Arnal’s daughter Sofia Dennis also posed for pictures with the tiny Santa.

The Santa Fe Police Department is investigating the following reports: u A woman who lives in the 4500 block of San Ignacio Road reported Friday that her roommate had used her personal information to open Comcast Internet, television and security system accounts. u A man reported that someone mugged him and stole his iPhone and wallet at about 2 a.m. Saturday near Agua Fría Street and Closson Street. u Someone tried to remove the catalytic converter from a vehicle in the 1200 block of Maclovia Street between Nov. 20 and Tuesday, the vehicle’s owner reported. u Someone broke into La Casa Sena, 125 E. Palace Ave., at 2 a.m. Tuesday and stole seven bottles of wine. u City officers arrested Jeremy Valencia, 32, 6332 Entrada de Milagro, at 1:21 a.m. Sunday on charges of assault and battery against a household member, false imprisonment, interference with communications and criminal damage to property of a household member. The Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the following reports: u A woman reported that someone entered her shed on Pueblo de Cielo and stole 24 satellite receivers and a 16-foot ladder between 4 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. Saturday. u Deputies responding to a disorderly conduct complaint arrested Thomas Montoya, 34, Saturday in the 3300 block

of Caminito Quintana on charges of battery against a peace officer after he allegedly flicked a deputy’s nose.

DWI arrests u Anthony Deaton, 23, of Santa Fe was arrested on charges of aggravated drunken driving, possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia and fake plates after county deputies stopped him for swerving between lanes on Old Las Vegas Highway on Friday. u Armando Varela, 36, of Glorieta was arrested on charges of drunken driving, no insurance and possession of drug paraphernalia after county deputies stopped him for running a stop sign on N.M. 14 on Sunday. u Police arrested Nicholas Anderson, 25, of Santa Fe at 1:38 a.m. Sunday on charges of drunken driving, possession of marijuana, no proof of insurance and possession of an open container after a traffic stop near South Pacheco Street and St. Francis Drive.

Speed SUVs u The Santa Fe Police Department listed the following locations for its mobile speedenforcement vehicles: SUV No. 1 on Siringo Road between Botulph Road and St. Francis Drive; SUV No. 2 on Siringo Road at Calle de Suenos; SUV No. 3 on West San Mateo Road between Galisteo Street and St. Francis Drive.

“It just looked fun, and we’re in the spirit,” Holton said. Organizers also hid photos of one of the marionettes, a freckled little duende — think a fairy or goblin — aptly named Freckles, around the museum. As they searched for Freckles, visitors got to explore the museum and see its art collection. Sunday’s main attraction, though, was the marionette show. This year’s production was titled Party for Papa Gus. Before the start of the show, Zieselman encouraged children to ask questions about the marionettes. Young audience members quickly questioned why Miguelito the donkey and Warts the duende could fly. One child pointed out that Warts was in

One child remarked that Miguelito, who was prone to distractions and bad puns — his favorite food is burro-ito — seemed “a little cuckoo.” The open house also gave parents and children the chance to create paper bag puppets. The museum provided the bags, pipe cleaners, glue, buttons, glitter, googly eyes and all manner of decorative bits to make the puppets. Ollie Lucero, 3, affixed several pompoms to the top and bottom of his brown paper bag. Meanwhile, his father, Jonathon Lucero, suggested that Ollie’s puppet, dubbed “Baba-booboo,”

IN LOVING MEMORY LIBORIO T. VALENCIA APRIL 14, 1922 DECEMBER 23, 1995 Daddy, I miss you so much. Christmas, the entire month of December is so hard for me. It is a tough time for those who have lost loved ones; especially during this wonderful time of year. But it is not the birth date nor the death date that matter, but the "dash" between them that God cares about. You are with Christ forever now. Love you daddy! Your daughter, Joy

COMMENTARY: EVAN SOLTAS

Job hunting: What matters most? I f there is a way out of America’s crisis of longterm unemployment, it’s possible nobody has a better chance of finding it than a new team of five researchers based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Their project, the Institute for Career Transitions, will take a data-driven approach to figuring out the best way to help the long-term unemployed land jobs. The research is the first of its kind; with 4.1 million Americans who have been unable to find work for more than six months, it couldn’t be more important. “I think what’s happening here is unique,” said Ofer Sharone, the MIT sociologist who co-founded the research center. “We want to help, and we want to figure out the best way to help.” Sharone’s team has designed what a scientist would call a randomized controlled trial to test whether support in the job search can help the long-term unemployed find work, and if so, what kind of support has the greatest impact. About 130 job seekers will be randomly selected and matched with 63 different career coaches. They will receive either one-on-one or group support over the next three months. The effort is at the same time a sort of miniature think tank. It’s staffed with researchers who hope the small-scale pilot program will yield ideas for further study and for scalable job-placement programs that could make a big dent in long-term unemployment. “This group, the long-term unemployed, faces real discrimination in the labor market,” Sharone said. “The question is whether job-search strategies can make a meaningful difference against that discrimination. That’s never been tested before.” A key member of Sharone’s team is Rand Ghayad, a labor economist whose studies of long-term unemployment have shown that employers toss out the résumés of the long-term unemployed, no matter their job qualifications. After more than six months

A public job? Public business

T without a job, Ghayad found, an applicant has less than a 5 percent chance of getting an interview. If Ghayad is right, then the U.S. can’t count on an economic recovery to reemploy those who have gone without work for more than half a year. “Skills aren’t the obstacle for most of the long-term unemployed. Screening by employers is,” Ghayad said in an interview. “Networking, helping the long-term unemployed overcome screening, and teaching them how to be more attractive in job interviews are what we hope will make a difference, and it’s the focus of this research.” Ghayad and Sharone form a curious duo. Both have concentrated on fieldwork and not theory, yet their methods differ strikingly: Ghayad leans toward the quantitative, whereas Sharone is known for qualitative research based on interviews. What brought them together on this project, both said, was a shared concern that the long-term unemployed were trapped and could not escape without help. That help doesn’t exist. Federal and state programs focus on job skills, not the hiring process — and advice from career coaches was both too expensive and badly tailored to positions.

That’s tragic, the researchers think, because help in the job search may be what the long-term unemployed need most. White-collar employers rely on intangibles — do they like you? — to pick from applicants. In that environment, discouragement and disconnection put the longterm unemployed at a disadvantage. “I call it the ‘chemistry game,’ ” Sharone said. “Job search is based on rapport and networking. Hiring decisions are based on interpersonal and cultural fit. This game makes the unemployed vulnerable.” There’s a limitation on this research: This help is expensive. The coaches in the study are all volunteering their time, and doing this at scale would cost billions. But so do welfare and unemployment benefits. What the researchers hope will come from this is a proof of concept or a more costeffective way to help. Ghayad said he is focusing on data analysis while Sharone handles much of the fieldwork, especially as it relates to physical and psychological well-being. The project started randomly matching unemployed job seekers with coaches this month. About 50 pairs have been made so far, and they aim to reach full scale by the end of the year.

It’s not clear why employers have shunned the long-term unemployed. Many of the participants in the study are highly skilled and have previously held white-collar jobs. They seem easily employable. Yet for most, middle age and a long spell of unemployment seem to scare employers off. “A big part of our research,” Ghayad said, “will be identifying which variables matter most to finding work.” The second part, Sharone added, was using data to teach career coaches how to help. “Often the advice from career coaches is something like, ‘you can take control of your job search,’ ” Sharone said. “This is meant to inspire, but it backfires badly for the long-term unemployed because it implicitly blames them for their unemployment.” It has been a terrible few years for the long-term unemployed. The conclusions of research from labor economists such a Ghayad and Sharone haven’t exactly been encouraging, either. “Now,” Ghayad said, “I hope we’ll be able to have the first bit of good news for them.” Evan Soltas is a contributor to The Ticker, Bloomberg’s blog about economics, politics and world news.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Consumers lose; market wins again

urrent plans call for discontinuing Amtrak passenger service from Albuquerque north through New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas. But, of course, there are no plans of disrupting important freight service from Albuquerque eastward to Texas. Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, no longer has bus service and must fight to maintain even our infrequent air service. But governments and corporations are willing to let important, historic, scenic, passenger rail service expire in Northern New Mexico. These are the same government and corporate forces that used our tax dollars in the past past to encourage, underwrite and take land to build the very railroads that are now threatened. Stop killing passenger train service. Robert G. Wilson

Santa Fe

Saving Wookie I live on the Canyon Road side of the Santa Fe River, and recently my Corgi,

Wookie, decided to explore the riverbed instead of jumping, as usual, into my car. I called him — he’s usually an obedient dog — but the lurking rebel in him ignored me. I heard a vehicle turn into my driveway and turned to see a Santa Fe Police Department car. Startled, I watched a young policewoman and policeman step out, and she said, “We were on the Alameda and saw you calling your dog, and we were concerned that he might climb up to the road, so we came to help.” I was surprised. The authority in the young policeman’s voice brought Wookie scampering back and into the car. Bless him! It was a spontaneous and very kind action by those two police officers. I felt true gratitude that our Santa Fe Police Department has such members: observant, thoughtful and kind. My warmest thanks to them.

Not my vision Hurray for Mike Thompson, U.S. representative from California. Hurray for any legislators who have the guts to stand up to the National Rifle Association. I was listening to Wayne LaPierre spouting off after Newtown’s massacre last year: “Only a good man with a gun can stop a bad man with a gun!” “We should install an armed police officer in every school!” Why stop there? How about in every mall and movie theater and post office and fast-food restaurant? Do we need or want armed guards protecting us everywhere we shop, eat or study? I’ve been to countries where soldiers with machine guns patrol homes, restaurants and stores — it’s a grim sight. I always murmur to myself, “Thank God America isn’t like that.” But it seems the NRA prefers that vision of our country to an America with reasonable gun control laws.

he New Mexico Municipal League wants to shield applicants for top government jobs from having their names and applications made public — and hopes to someday make that protection a part of state law. Rightly, the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government calls this idea bad public policy. The municipal league isn’t making the job candidates issue a priority item, meaning it likely won’t be considered until a longer legislative session come 2015. Even so, Gov. Susana Martinez should let city officials know that their idea of secrecy in recruiting is a bad one. To avoid wasting time, this issue should be a nonstarter. It is a shame that disclosing the names of applicants rules out some candidates who don’t want their current bosses to know they are looking for other work. But that’s a necessary sacrifice for the greater good of the public knowing who is in the running to get these coveted positions. After all, a job such as city manager — whether in Santa Fe or Grants — brings in a fat paycheck along with excellent retirement and health benefits. Without knowing the candidates, it’s impossible to discover whether politicians are simply rewarding their buddies or whether qualified applicants were in the pool. What’s more, a city manager or other top official has to deal with the public and the news on a daily basis. It is wise for mayors and city councils to hire bureaucrats who lean toward openness rather than hiring people who want to keep the public’s business private. Start like you want to continue, in other words. In asking for a change in the state’s Inspection of Public Records Act, the municipal league just wants what New Mexico universities now have. Currently, the names of applicants for the position of university president do not have to be disclosed — only the names of at least five finalists need to be announced at least 21 days before a final hiring decision. To the municipal league officials, local governments should have that same exception. We disagree and hope this idea never even makes it to a committee meeting. In fact, the Legislature should consider opening up the application process for university jobs as well. Again, without openness, the public won’t know about the great candidate who got blacklisted for no good reason. An open process serves institutions, the public and the candidates. The state Legislature should look for ways to open up government, not ways to close off access. And what is important at the state level is even more essential at the local level, where government is closest to the people.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Dec. 23, 1913: Santa Fe’s temperature of 8 above zero yesterday was really mild compared to other cities of New Mexico. The Duke City was given a touch of the real Arctic clime when the official thermometer hit a new low record to the tune of “ten below.” Over in the Meadow City (Las Vegas), Jack Frost was even more severe for the silvery bulb dropped to 12 below zero. Dec. 23, 1963: Ranchitos — A 3-year-old boy who came to spend Christmas holidays with his father was stabbed five times in the back Sunday with a butcher knife. His father was stabbed once. The boy was reported in good condition today at Española Hospital. Four of the wounds were superficial and the fifth required surgery. Authorities, who are continuing the investigation into the incident, said they have been unable to find evidence anyone else was present at the time. The boy’s father suffered a single stab wound described as two inches above the heart. He has refused to make a statement about the stabbings. Dec. 23, 1988: Española will be ablaze with 40,000 farolitos and 250 luminarias Christmas Eve as the result of a program to instill community pride in the city’s youth. Between 200 and 300 youth, including Boy and Explorer Scouts, are participating in the effort to place the traditional Christmas lights throughout the city. The lights also will honor Vietnam veterans.

‘Hobbit’ sequel takes No. 1, beats ‘Anchorman 2’ By Jake Coyle The Associated Press

BOX OFFICE

NEW YORK — On a busy pre-Christmas weekend at the box office, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug held off a very different sequel, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Peter Jackson’s Hobbit sequel took in $31.5 million in its second weekend of release for Warner Bros., according to studio estimates Sunday. Although the film isn’t matching the pace of the first Hobbit movie, An Unexpected Journey, The Desolation of Smaug is doing well abroad. It’s now made more than $400 million worldwide, including $96 million internationally over the weekend. The Hobbit topped Will Ferrell’s Anchorman sequel, which nevertheless opened strongly in second place. The Paramount Pictures comedy made $26.8 million over the threeday weekend and $40 million since opening Tuesday night. The much-marketed Anchorman 2 actually outperformed The Hobbit on Friday, but failed to best it over Saturday and Sunday. But the $50 million comedy, which Paramount initially turned down, also suggested it will be more popular abroad than most comedies. It made $13.4 million in six international markets. The 2004 original opened with $28.4 million, but only grossed $5.3 million internationally. “Anchorman will have a much larger footprint internationally than the last Anchorman did,” said Don Harris, head of domestic distribution for Paramount. “Will Ferrell has done a really good job of turning this character into something that travels around the world.” David O. Russell’s fictionalization of the 1970s Abscam investigation American Hustle earned a robust $19.1 million in its first week of nationwide expansion. The Sony Pictures film, starring Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence, got a boost from its coleading seven Golden Globes nominations. “It’s such a crowd-pleaser as well as a critical hit,” said Sony’s distribution head Rory Bruer. “We have so much more to look forward to, including Christmas Day.” The pre-Christmas weekend is a sought-after release date, one that usually offers films

1. Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, $31.5 million ($96 million international). 2. Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, $26.8 million ($13.4 million international). 3. Frozen, $19.2 million ($35.1 million international). 4. American Hustle, $19.1 million. 5. Saving Mr. Banks, $9.3 million ($5.5 million international). 6. Hunger Games: Catching Fire, $8.8 million ($11 million international). 7. Tyler Perry’s A Madea Christmas, $8.5 million. 8. Walking With Dinosaurs, $7.3 million ($13.8 million international). 9. Dhoom 3, $3.3 million ($2.1 million international). 10. Thor: The Dark World, $1.3 million.

especially good legs at the box office as moviegoers flood theaters over the coming weeks. The weekend box office was up nearly 30 percent over the same weekend last year. But this year’s holiday frame will be particularly competitive. The crowded field of movie openings Wednesday includes Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, Ben Stiller’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, the Robert De Niro and Sylvester Stallone comedy Grudge Match, the Justin Bieber documentary Justin Bieber’s Believe and Keanu Reeves’ 47 Ronin. “It is going to be one heck of a crowded Christmas Day at the movie theater,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office tracker Rentrak. “This is setting up to be perhaps one of the biggest Christmas Days ever.” One obvious casualty from the many options at the multiplexes was 20th Century Fox’s Walking With Dinosaurs, a 3-D attraction that hoped to draw moviegoers with digital dinosaurs. Made for $85 million, it fell flat with just $7.3 million over the weekend.

Ex-big league catcher tapped to manage Isotopes Berryhill promoted from rookie league to succeed Bundy The New Mexican

The Albuquerque Isotopes got an early holiday gift when they learned that former big league

catcher Damon Berryhill had been named the team’s new manager. The announcement came Sunday as the parent Los Angeles Dodgers promoted Berryhill from their rookie league franchise in Ogden, Utah. Berryhill spent five years as the manager of the Pioneer League club, leading the Raptors to the playoffs four times.

He began his coaching career in 2002 in the Angels organization. He also had stints with the Diamondbacks and Rangers before joining the Dodgers’ organization in 2009. He succeeds Lorenzo Bundy as the skipper of the Isotopes. Bundy was recently promoted to the Dodgers’ field staff in Los Angeles,

taking over as the third base coach in Los Angeles. The Dodgers also announced that pitching coach Glenn Dishman and hitting coach Franklin Stubbs will return to the Isotopes’ staff next season. Next season will be Dishman’s fifth with Albuquerque while Stubbs will be in his second.

Berryhill, 50, was a 1984 draft pick of the Chicago Cubs and later spent 10 years in the big leagues, five of them with the Cubs. He also played for the Braves, Red Sox, Reds and Giants, retiring after his only season with San Francisco in 1987. He was part of the Braves

Panthers pull ahead of Saints Struggling QB Newton helps Carolina clinch 1st playoff berth since ’08 By Steve Reed The Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There is a message stitched inside the collar of every Carolina Panthers jersey. Two powerful words. Keep Pounding. Panthers 17 They were Saints 13 spoken by late linebacker Sam Mills during his fight with intestinal cancer, and served as a reminder to teammates and friends to never give up, no matter how dire the situation. Cam Newton and the Panthers took them to heart on Sunday. Newton, who had struggled all afternoon, threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Domenik Hixon with 23 seconds left to lift the Panthers to a 17-13 win over the New Orleans Saints and clinch the team’s first playoff berth since 2008 before more than 70,000 rain-drenched fans.

Romo saves Dallas with late ‘Houdini’ touchdown By Joseph White The Assciated Press

ANDOVER, Md. — On fourth down, feeling the season was on the line, Tony Romo dropped back, scrambled forward and found the correct color uniform. DeMarco Murray made the catch, his momentum taking him into the end zone for the winning score.

Please see PANTHERS, Page B-5

For much of the second half, Romo and the Cowboys had flirted with their usual December swoon. A recently signed fullback lost a fumble. The quarterback threw a bad interception. An eight-point lead became a nine-point deficit. Murray lost 9 yards on a third-and-goal at the 1. But there was one chance left to pull off a win. Romo-to-Murray converted the fourth-and-goal at the 10 with 1:08 remaining Sunday, giving the Cowboys a 24-23 victory over the Washington Redskins. “We just had to make a play,” Dallas

receiver Dez Bryant said. “Tony did a Houdini.” It’s a magic moment that matters only if the Cowboys can win one more. The victory ended a twogame skid — as well as a four-game December losing streak — and sets up a winner-take-all, regular-season finale for the NFC East title next week, when the Cowboys (8-7) host the Philadelphia Eagles. “Today we felt like we were playing for everything,” Romo said. “Next week will be the same thing.” The Cowboys, who beat

Philadelphia 17-3 on Oct. 20, set themselves up to quash two years of 8-8, collapse-around-Christmas misery. “I know in some ways we’ve gotten hit with just the fact of losing the last couple of years in the final game,” Romo said. “I think we’re the only team that keeps getting themselves in position to win the NFC East every year — that’s a credit. It’s also a negative in the fact that we didn’t do it the last couple of years.”

After 75 years, Hollywood Park hosts final races

Candlestick’s farewell draws mixed emotions

City to turn track that hosted thoroughbred stars into new housing, retail development

49ers to take on Atlanta as they bid farewell to stadium

By Beth Harris The Associated Press

INGLEWOOD, Calif. — Fans waited in a long line to get into Betfair Hollywood Park for the last time. The track closed for good Sunday, ending 75 years of racing that featured such thoroughbred stars as Seabiscuit, Triple Crown winners Citation, Seattle Slew and Affirmed, and superstar mare Zenyatta. The first Breeders’ Cup in 1984 was run here. The track will be turned into a residential and retail development starting next year. For its last day, though, the track came alive again, with jammed parking lots, lines at the betting windows, and fans and employees swapping stories about the Track of the Lakes and Flowers. Dick Van Patten, the 85-year-old actor who starred in TV’s Eight is Enough, was a longtime patron of the track. He walked away a winner when his horse Tanquerray won the $50,000 third race.

Amid the sadness was some bitterness as well. Jack Van Berg, the 77-year-old Hall of Fame trainer, blamed the cities of Inglewood and Los Angeles and the state of California for the track’s closure. “I just think it’s a pathetic thing,” he

said near the paddock. “It’s ridiculous to let something like this that so many people love and thrive on close. They did everything they could to kill racing.” Van Berg, who has raced in California

SAN FRANCISCO — On Monday, Dwight Clark will make a point to walk to the spot of his famous game-winning touchdown known only as “The Catch” for probably the final time. He will spend a moment reflecting on that special patch of grass in the far right corner of the north end zone at Candlestick Park, a thrilling memory he is reminded of daily even now, nearly 32 years later. “This will be the last time I’ll be able to stand on that spot as far as I know,” Clark said. Joe Montana isn’t expected to make it Monday, when

The Stick says its last public goodbye after a run of Super Bowl success; baseball greats like Willie Mays and home run king Barry Bonds; the 1989 earthquake that interrupted the Bay Bridge World Series; and even The Beatles’ farewell concert. “It’s going to be weird,” Terrell Owens said before a game last month. “I’m glad I got an opportunity to be here.” The current 49ers (10-4) are determined to leave their mark on Candlestick’s legacy by beating Atlanta (4-10) in the dilapidated stadium’s last hurrah Monday night in a rematch of the NFC championship game won by San Francisco. “We feel that it’s something special,” safety Donte Whitner said.

Manning’s big day leads Broncos over Texans passed the 50 TD passes Tom Brady threw in 2007 and led the Broncos (123) to a 37-13 win over the Texans (2-13) that extended Houston’s franchiserecord skid to 13 games. By Kristie Rieken Manning did it on a 25-yard pass to The Associated Press Julius Thomas with 4:28 remaining. Just HOUSTON — Peyton Manning had 2½ minutes earlier, he tied the mark to prepare for a 2-point conversion and with a 20-yard pass to Eric Decker. couldn’t celebrate when he set the NFL Manning figures Brady will overtake record for touchdown passes in a seahim again one day, especially if the NFL son in 2004. moves to an 18-game regular season. On Sunday, when Denver’s quarter“I think it’s a unique thing and a neat back regained the record against the thing to be a part of NFL history, even Houston Texans, he was able to soak in though it may be temporary,” he said. the historic moment. “So I’m going to enjoy it as long as it “It was very special,” he said. “Very lasts, and hopefully the Hall of Fame rarely during an NFL game do you get will send the ball back once somebody throws for more.” to have a moment like that.” He entered the game with 47, and his Manning regained his record with first touchdown came on a 36-yard pass 51 when he threw for 400 yards and to Demaryius Thomas in the second four touchdowns, including three in quarter.

Denver QB throws 51st touchdown to set record

The Broncos already had a spot in the playoffs, but their victory, combined with Kansas City’s loss to Indianapolis, gave them the division crown. “This only means something because it helped our team win games, and we won the division today in a competitive AFC West,” Manning said. “That’s a good thing.” Manning had previously established the record by throwing 49 touchdown passes in 2004. He has a career-high 5,211 yards passing this season, which is third in NFL history and 265 yards shy of the 5,476 yards Drew Brees gained in 2011. “The guy is a great quarterback, obviously,” Houston interim coach Wade Phillips said. “The last one, I was surprised that they threw it deep late in the game, but that’s part of football.” Matt Schaub started for the first time since Oct. 13 in place of an injured Case Keenum. He finished with 176 yards

and one touchdown with two interceptions for the Texans. The Broncos couldn’t do anything offensively in the third quarter, gaining just 38 yards, and had to punt on each of their four possessions. Their defense helped them out after that, with Mike Adams intercepting Schaub at the Houston 28. Manning wasted no time making Houston pay, and found Decker two plays later for the touchdown that extended the lead to 23-13. “I thought the turning point was the Mike Adams interception,” Denver coach John Fox said. It was all Broncos after that, with Manning grabbing the record with two more touchdown passes. Manning made the record-setting throw to Julius Thomas and walked toward the end zone, where his teammates patted him on the head. He then took off his helmet and walking to the

sideline and pumped his fist once. His teammates came out to greet him and he gave dozens of high-fives as he grinned and walked to the bench. Decker picked up the ball after Thomas dropped it after the touchdown and tucked it in the side of his jersey, where it remained as he walked off the field. Manning laughed when asked about Thomas not holding onto the ball after the score. “It wouldn’t have surprised me if Julius would have went and handed it to some babe up in the stands, trying to get her phone number in exchange for the ball,” he joked. “That would be right up Julius’ alley.” Thomas didn’t realize his reception set the record when he caught it. “I came back to the sidelines and I’m sitting down on the bench and somebody said: ‘That was the one,’ ” he said. “Maybe I shouldn’t have dropped it so carelessly, I should have kept it.”

Pacers run past Celtics

ON THE AIR

INDIANAPOLIS — Lance Stephenson wiggled his hips after a nasty crossover move. Paul George gestured to Pacers 106 the crowd Celtics 79 with his shooting eye, and Danny Granger showed everyone he still has the touch. This is starting to get fun for the Eastern Conference’s winningest team. Stephenson finished with his third triple-double this season, George scored 24 points and Granger made four 3-pointers as the Pacers overwhelmed Boston 106-79 on Sunday to ruin coach Brad Stevens’ return to his hometown. “We’re starting the game off with high energy and we’re ending the game with high energy and in between we’re maintaining that energy,” George said. “It wears teams down, and I think that’s been the case these past couple games.” Indiana (22-5) is taking full advantage of it, too. Since losing at home for the first time Monday and then losing at Miami on Wednesday, their first back-to-back losses of the season, the Pacers have been almost untouchable. They led for the final 38 minutes against Boston (12-17) and the final 41 against Houston on Friday. They have the best record in the East and are making things look easy. Stephenson finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists and remains the NBA’s only player with multiple tripledoubles this season. George, who is lobbying for Stephenson to make the All-Star team, has made 16 of 29 shots over the past two games. Roy Hibbert had 15 points and 12 rebounds, and Granger, who missed all but five games last season with a left knee injury and the first 25 this season with a strained left calf, was 4 of 5 on 3s. He scored 12 against Boston and has 17 points this season

after scoring 27 all of last season. Perhaps that’s why Stevens, a lifelong Indiana fan, called this the best Pacers team he’s seen in his lifetime. “Adding Granger is scary,” Stevens said. “I think the more comfortable he gets, the better they’ll be. I think they’re already if not the leader for the hunt, they’re in the hunt.” The résumé proves it. Indiana has won two straight, beating the Rockets, a Western Conference contender, and the Celtics, who entered Sunday tied for the Atlantic Division lead, by a combined 60 points. The 33 and 27-point victory margins are the two most lopsided wins Indiana has had all season, though the Pacers beat Milwaukee by 27 last month, and it’s only the second time they’ve topped 100 points in consecutive games this season. The Pacers also will have a chance to pad their lead over the next couple of weeks. Sunday’s game marked the start of

a 12-game stretch in which the Pacers will face 11 teams that currently have losing records. “We are a tough basketball team, we know that we can play, we know that we can improve,” George said. “We are having fun out there because we are getting to know each other better.” RAPTORS 104, THUNDER 98 In Oklahoma City, Kyle Lowry scored 22 points, making a pair of clinching free throws with 9.8 seconds left, and Toronto handed the Thunder their first home loss. The Raptors outscored Oklahoma City 6-0 in the final 1:25, all from the free throw line, and ended the Thunder’s nine-game winning streak. Oklahoma City had been 13-0 at home, the NBA’s longest unbeaten stretch to open a season since the Cleveland Cavaliers won their first 23 home games during the 2007-08 season. Amir Johnson had 17 points and 13 assists for Toronto, which won its fourth straight road game, its longest such streak since March-April 2002. Okla-

homa City lost for the first time since Dec. 4 in Portland, Ore. Russell Westbrook scored 27 points and Kevin Durant added 24 for Oklahoma City, which missed its final four shots. CLIPPERS 120, TIMBERWOLVES 116 (OT) In Los Angeles, Jared Dudley made a go-ahead 3-pointer with 38 seconds remaining in overtime, and Chris Paul made five free throws in the final 19 seconds, leading the Clippers to a gritty victory over Minnesota. Blake Griffin had 32 points and 10 rebounds and was an uncharacteristic 10 for 11 from the free throw line before fouling out with 4:08 left in OT. The defending Pacific Division champions extended their winning streak to a season-best five games while beating the Timberwolves for the eighth straight time, Kevin Love had a season-high 45 points and tied a season best with 19 rebounds for the Timberwolves, back at Staples Center after their 104-91 loss to the Lakers on Friday night.

“Oh, I think back on it all the time. I know what the play was, it was all diagramed,” former 49ers owner Eddie DeBartolo Jr. said. “In the far end zone, was Dwight Clark’s catch, which will probably go down in history. “I don’t think there’s any question, as far as the San Francisco 49ers go and our Super Bowl runs and our history of success in the ’80s and the ’90s, it started with ‘The Catch.’ ” The 49ers shared Candlestick with the Giants until the baseball club moved into its downtown waterfront ballpark in 2000. Oakland Athletics manager Bob Melvin attended games at Candlestick as a boy growing up in the Bay Area — he was in the stands for Mays’ 3,000th hit — and enjoyed being a fan more than he did years later as a major leaguer with the Giants. “Mike Schmidt was hitting and I was catching, and he hit a popup over home plate that I really thought at first was going

to end up near our dugout, then I thought it would end up over in the other dugout and it ended up right where I started, and I ended up catching it,” Melvin said. “You’d follow the hot dog wrappers to try to figure out which way the wind was going.” 49ers punter Andy Lee won’t miss the wind, or much else about Candlestick after a decade kicking there. “Bittersweet is probably the best way to put it because there are a lot of great memories that took place there,” Montana said. “But everyone will admit that it’s not the ultimate in a field you would want to be known for.” For all the problems at rundown Candlestick, those who consider it hallowed ground don’t want to hear about the negatives, but the nostalgia. “It was our dump, so we could talk bad about it,” Clark said, “but we didn’t want anybody else to talk bad about it.”

Isotopes: Berryhill hit 47 home runs Continued from Page B-1 roster that reached the 1992 World Series, hitting a 3-run home run in Game 1 against Toronto. He was Chicago’s first pick in the January 1984 amateur draft, the fourth overall. The June draft later that year included first-round selections such as Mark McGwire and Kevin Andersh, and secondround picks Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Al Leiter. McGwire is currently an assistant coach on the Dodgers’ big league staff; Maddux and Glavine are future Hall of Famers; Leiter won 162 games in a 19-year career; and Andersh was a standout on The University of New Mexico baseball team and is currently the head coach at Albuquerque Volcano Vista High School.

A switch hitter, Berryhill hit 47 home runs with a .240 batting average and 257 runs batted in. He had a career-high 10 homers with the Braves in 1992 and batted a career-best .263 in his only season with the Red Sox in 1994. He retired at the age of 33. The Isotopes finished second in the American Southern Division of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League last season. As part of an aggressive league-wide realignment, they will shift to the Pacific Southern Division in 2014. Other teams in the division are Salt Lake City (Utah), Las Vegas (Nev.) and the league’s newest addition, El Paso. Albuquerque’s season opener against Tacoma (Wash.) will be April 3. The home opener will be April 11, also against the Rainiers.

Bengals beat Vikings, clinch AFC North title The Associated Press

CINCINNATI — Three seasons in the NFL, three times in the playoffs. Andy Dalton Bengals 42 has done Vikings 14 something special during his just-getting-started career. Now, he gets another chance to win one when it matters most. Dalton threw four touchdown passes, and linebacker Vincent Rey returned an interception 25 yards for a score, and the Bengals had another big day at home, beating the Minnesota Vikings 42-14 on Sunday. A few minutes after their game ended, the Bengals (10-5) clinched a playoff berth when Miami lost at Buffalo 19-0. They later clinched the AFC North title when Baltimore lost at home to New England 41-7. It’s Cincinnati’s first division title since 2009 and the Bengals’ eighth overall in their 46 seasons. And it makes it 3 for 3 for Dalton, who will be in the spotlight more than anyone else at playoff time. It’s the first time in their history that the Bengals have reached the playoffs in three straight seasons. CARDINALS 17, SEAHAWKS 10 In Seattle, Carson Palmer overcame four interceptions to throw a 31-yard touchdown to Michael Floyd with 2:13 left. The Cardinals kept their postseason hopes going while snapping the Seahawks 14-game home win streak. Arizona (10-5) had to win after Carolina beat New Orleans. And the Cardinals did thanks to a stingy defense that flustered Russell Wilson into one of his worst days as a pro, delaying any celebration of an NFC West championship. The Seahawks can still clinch the NFC West with a win over St. Louis next Sunday. PATRIOTS 41, RAVENS 7 In Baltimore, Logan Ryan had two interceptions, LeGarrette Blount scored twice, and the Patriots ended the Ravens’ fourgame winning streak. The previous time these two teams met, the AFC title hung in the balance and Baltimore used a strong second half to pull out a 28-13 victory. In this one, New England took a 17-0 lead early in the second quarter and never let up behind a defense that forced four turnovers and had four sacks. It was Baltimore’s most lopsided loss since a 37-0 defeat at Pittsburgh in 1997. Things went so bad for the Ravens that Justin Tucker’s run of 33 straight field goals ended when he went wide left on a 37-yarder.

STEELERS 38, PACKERS 31 In Green Bay, Wis., Le’Veon Bell ran for a 1-yard touchdown with 1:28 left, then Pittsburgh withstood the Packers’ last throw into the end zone and dealt Green Bay’s playoff hopes a blow. It’s a long shot, but the Steelers (7-8) are still mathematically in the hunt for an AFC wild-card spot. They need a lot of help.

Miracle: 7th loss for Redskins Continued from Page B-1 The Cowboys melted down big-time last week against the Green Bay Packers, blowing a 23-point lead with Romo throwing two interceptions in the waning minutes. On Sunday, the Cowboys fell flat in the third quarter instead of the fourth, leaving just enough time for a comeback. “Coming back and playing well and working hard can help your character. Now, I don’t recommend the way we came back today as a way to get there,” Dallas owner Jerry Jones said with a smile. “I would’ve liked for it to be a little easier and confident.” The Redskins (3-12) aren’t building much of anything. They lost their seventh straight, the second in a row by one point, both with Kirk

Cousins starting in place of shut-down franchise player Robert Griffin III. Pierre Garcon (11 catches, 144 yards) provided the home team highlight by breaking Art Monk’s single-season franchise reception record, while veteran linebacker London Fletcher played in what is expected to be his final home game before retiring. Embattled coach Mike Shanahan clinched his worst record in his 20 seasons as a head coach. Romo completed 17 of 27 passes for 226 yards with two touchdowns and played much of the game with back pain. He was limping noticeably after a couple of plays in the fourth quarter. “I took a hit that kind of triggered it a little bit. … I felt it after that play, the rest of the game,” Romo said. “You

just play through it, just like anything in football.” The Cowboys led 14-6 at halftime before committing turnovers on back-to-back drives — a fumble by Tyler Clutts and an interception by DeAngelo Hall. The Redskins scored on three straight possessions and took a 23-14 lead on the first play of the fourth quarter. But Romo converted a fourth-and-6 at the Washington 40-yard line to set up a field goal that cut the lead to six with 6:09 to play. The Cowboys started the go-ahead drive at their 13 with 3:39 remaining. A 51-yard pass to Terrance Williams set up the winning score, with the Cowboys surviving the 9-yard loss by Murray when knocking on the door at the 1.

Panthers: QB called ‘resilient’ Continued from Page B-1 the playoffs with a win next Sunday at Atlanta. Linebacker Thomas Davis addressed Mills’ message before the game, and Newton said it was never more applicable than Sunday. “That’s about the best words you can put for the type of game we had,” Newton said. “You know we just kept fighting, kept pounding, kept getting after it. We really knew we were one drive away. We were one play away.” Newton had been limited to 116 yards passing in the game’s 59 minutes. But the defense, which had been dominant all day, gave him one last chance to win the game by forcing

Drew Brees to go three-andout. Newton took over at the Carolina 35 trailing 13-10 with 55 seconds left in the game, no timeouts, a sore ankle and his best receiver Steve Smith on the sideline with a knee injury. He dug in and completed a 37-yard pass to Ted Ginn Jr. on a dig route to quickly get the Panthers in field goal range. Then he connected with Greg Olsen for a 14-yard completion. After Newton spiked the ball to stop the clock, Hixon made a diving catch in the left side of the end zone cradling the ball in his chest after beating cornerback Corey White. The catch set off a huge celebration that left the stadium shaking.

“I was 99 percent sure it was a catch,” Hixon said with a grin. The seldom-used Hixon came into the game with just three catches for 21 yards on the season. “Cam was very resilient,” coach Ron Rivera said. “He struggled all day and he knows that. But he came through when we needed him.” Newton said there isn’t much time to celebrate with the focus on beating the Falcons next week to secure the division title and a first-round bye. Carolina’s defense kept the team in the game while the offense struggled, intercepting Brees twice and sacking him six times to avenge a 31-13 loss two weeks ago.

Dear Annie: For the past several years, my husband has taken out a new credit card each January and maxed it out over the next 12 months. This has resulted in major debt, which I fear will devastate our family and possibly affect our children and grandchildren. My husband is a good and caring person who often picks up the restaurant tabs for our friends and family and buys them gifts they could buy for themselves. As a result, he is extremely popular. If I try to limit these unnecessary expenses, everyone thinks I’m a spoilsport. We are approaching the time where he will apply for another new credit card. Should I prohibit this until we reach some agreement on budget cuts? Should I let him go ahead and get the new card and then try to negotiate budget cuts? Or do I keep on trucking as usual and hope for the best? — Concerned Spouse Dear Spouse: If you are going into debt, please don’t shove this under the carpet until you are living on the street. Your husband seems to be a compulsive buyer, and it can be similar to other addictions that require effort to overcome. Is he willing to recognize and address the problem? (Therapy can help.) Would he be willing to let you handle the family finances while he is put on a cash allowance? You also can contact Debtors Anonymous (debtorsanonymous.org) and the International OCD Foundation (ocfoundation.org) for information and referrals. Dear Annie: Fifteen years ago, our daughter married a truly nice guy, and they made it clear right away that they didn’t want “drop-in” visitors. I understood this, as they both work full time. Three years ago, they bought a large home close to us, but in all the years they’ve been married, we can count on one hand the number of

Through the rude wind’s wild lament. 8. Four calling birds. 9. Ring a ling, hear them sing. SCORING: 18 points — congratulations, doctor; 15 to 17 points — honors graduate; 10 to 14 points — you’re plenty smart, but no grind; 4 to 9 points — you really should hit the books harder; 1 point to 3 points — enroll in remedial courses immediately; 0 points — who reads the questions to you?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Friends surround you. Hopefully you are not in the position of doing last-minute shopping, but rather off enjoying a holiday event. Tonight: Music, lights and mistletoe set the scene. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Tension builds as expenses seem to multiply. You must meet certain responsibilities, no matter what. Tonight: Visit with someone you won’t see for a while. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH If you kick back and detach, a last-minute problem will solve itself. You also will understand more of the mechanics of the issue. Tonight: Let the fun continue. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Your role might be more pivotal than you realize. You could have a lot of errands to take care of, while someone makes an important request. Tonight: Quality time with a loved one. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHH You might have special plans. Unfortunately, others don’t seem to realize that fact, or you have not shared it with them. Tonight: The only answer is “yes.” Jacqueline Bigar

Hocus Focus

times we’ve been invited over for anything, including the kids’ birthdays, cookouts, etc. Yet I know my daughter’s in-laws are often invited. Our grandchildren ask why we never come to their house, and I simply say it’s because we’re never invited. What should I say? — Confused in Indiana Dear Indiana: Please stop manipulating the children to get to the parents, which is exactly what you are doing when you tell them you’re “never invited.” Instead, talk to your daughter. Ask whether there is a problem and what you can do about it. She may have reasons for keeping you at a distance, so please make her understand that you cannot fix things if you don’t know what the issues are. If she still doesn’t invite you to her place, ask whether the children can visit at your house. As long as you can see your family, it really doesn’t matter where. Dear Annie: “Too Late To Try Again” said she was cut off by a relative with no explanation. This happened in my family. Tell her it might help if she can laugh about the situation. I am from an Italian family and married into another Italian family. My new mother-in-law was angry with her cousin “Angela.” They had been close for a long time, but then they didn’t speak for years. When Angela died, my mother-inlaw cried buckets but refused to go to the funeral. She said, “We didn’t talk when she was alive, and I’m not going to talk to her now that she’s dead.” So I asked my mother-inlaw what the argument was about, because it was obviously so terrible that good friends stopped speaking. She replied, with tears in her eyes, “I don’t remember!” But true to her word, she did not go to the funeral. — New York
