Incumbent state Land Commissioner Ray Powell asked the state Supreme Court on Monday to temporarily halt an automatic recount of votes in the contested land commissioner race, alleging the state Canvassing Board has violated

state law and the election code. The last unofficial election results showed Powell, a Democrat, losing by a 704-vote margin to Republican challenger Aubrey Dunn out of 499,666 votes cast, or about 0.14 percent of the votes. State law calls for an automatic recount when the margin between two statewide candidates

By Will Webber The New Mexican

ALBUQUERQUE ust what can $5 million buy you these days? It gets your company’s name and logo affixed to what is perhaps the most famous building in the state, that’s what. On Monday, The University of New Mexico announced it has sold the naming rights to University Arena — the renowned basketball facility affectionately known as The Pit — for $5 million over the next 10 years to WisePies Pizza, a local restaurant chain whose owners are Lobos boosters Steve Chavez and Michael Baird. The deal is back-ended with $4.8 million to be paid to the school over the final eight years of the contract. WisePies paid $100,000 on Monday and will pay another $100,000 on Dec. 31, 2015. From that point forward, it will pay $600,000 annually each Dec. 31 through 2023. In exchange, UNM has placed signage on the basketball

court near the Lobos’ bench and on the opposite side of the floor. The company’s name and logo — which includes a gangster-style fedora — will appear outside the building and will be displayed prominently throughout each home game on the electronic ribbon boards that surround the luxury suites and along the floor. Most significantly, the deal has changed The Pit’s formal name from University Arena to WisePies Arena. The change took effect immediately. Athletic director Paul Krebs said it was a necessary measure to pay down debt incurred from the facility’s extensive $60 million renovation four years ago. He said it was critical for the athletic department’s long-term financial success. “When we first discussed and started talking about renovation of The Pit, from the very beginning, we made it known that a naming gift was going to be central to the long-term funding of the facility,” Krebs said. Social media exploded with

fan reaction after Monday’s announcement, most of it negative. Athletic department spokesman Brad Hutchins said the criticism was expected but that the revenue from the naming rights is crucial. “We certainly understand not everybody will like that, but we have a local company, a local New Mexican, that helped us with this gift, and we are proud to call it WisePies Arena — aka The Pit,” he said. Krebs said the school had solicited both private donors and national corporations for The Pit’s naming rights, but none stepped forward. After the renovations, that drive became a focal point for the school and the athletic department. The renovation replaced the old mezzanine with luxury suites, added new locker rooms for the men’s and women’s teams, installed giant video boards at both ends of the arena and more than tripled the available space in the concourse.

Obama promotes body cams for officers President denounces ‘militarized culture’ amid debate on use of force

Lawmakers to revisit No Child Left Behind Act

WASHINGTON — The No Child Left Behind education law could be making a political comeback. Sen. Lamar Alexander, the Tennessee Republican who is the incoming chairman of the Senate committee overseeing education, says his top education priority is fixing the landmark Bush-era law. His goal? Get a bill signed by President Barack Obama early next year. Doing so will require bipartisanship that’s been elusive since the law, primarily designed to help minority and poor children, came up for renewal in 2007. The law requires schools to show annual growth in student achievement or face consequences, with all students expected to be proficient in reading and math this year. It has been credited with shining a light on how schools handle minority, low-income, English learners and special needs students, but led to complaints that teachers were teaching to standardized tests and that mandates were unrealistic and penalties ineffective. Obama since 2012 has allowed states to get a waiver from some of the more stringent requirements of the law, but they had to agree to requirements such as adopting college and career ready standards — like Common Core — and implementing teacher evaluation systems with teeth. More than 40 states have a waiver. The waivers left alone a federal requirement of annual standardized testing in grades three to eight and testing once in high school. The testing provisions are likely to be part of the debate.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama said Monday he wants to ensure the U.S. isn’t building a “militarized culture” within police departments, while maintaining federal programs that provide the type of military-style equipment that were used to dispel racially charged protests in Ferguson, Mo. Instead, the president is asking Congress for funding to buy 50,000 body cameras to record events like the shooting death of an unarmed 18-year-old Michael Brown and look for ways to build trust and confidence between police and minority communities nationwide. He announced the creation of a task force to study success stories and recommend ways the government can support accountability, transparency and trust in police. With protests ongoing in Ferguson and across the country, Obama spoke to reporters at the end of a White House meeting with police, civil rights activists and local leaders and acknowledged the participants told him that there have been task forces in the past and “nothing happens.” “Part of the reason this time

NATION&WORLD Stocks slip after retail sales weaken The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Mounting signs of weakness in the global economy and a poor start to the holiday shopping season knocked the stock market lower on Monday. Earlier sales, a shift to online shopping and stagnant wages meant fewer Americans showed up to stores over the Thanksgiving weekend, the National Retail Federation said Sunday. The trade group estimated that total spending for the four days totaled $50.9 billion, down 11 percent from last year. Major retailers slumped in response. Macy’s lost $1.72, or 3 percent, to $63.19 and Target fell $1.25, or 2 percent, to $72.75. Best Buy lost $2.15, or 6 percent, to $37.26. New reports of slowing manufacturing in China as well as in the three largest economies that use the European currency — Germany, France and Italy — also gave investors little reason to cheer. Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital, said more reports of slow economic growth around the world and falling oil prices could drive the market down in the coming weeks. “Maybe the weakness in the global economy will take some of the starch out of our economy,” he said. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose to 2.23 percent late Friday. High demand for U.S. government bonds has kept yields low.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. ASA’s quest to send astronauts out into the solar system begins this week with a twolaps-around-Earth test flight. The new Orion spacecraft is not going to Mars just yet; Thursday’s debut will be unmanned and last just 4½ hours. But it will be the farthest a builtfor-humans capsule has flown since the Apollo moon missions, shooting 3,600 miles out into space in order to gain enough momentum to re-enter the atmosphere at a scorching 20,000 mph. The dry run, if all goes well, will end with a Pacific splashdown off Mexico’s Baja coast. Navy ships will recover the capsule for future use. This initial Orion is rigged with 1,200 sensors to gauge its durability for the day when astronauts do climb aboard during the decade ahead. Advertised destinations include an asteroid to be corralled in lunar orbit for human exploration in the 2020s, followed by Mars in the 2030s. “We’re approaching this as pioneers,” said William Hill of NASA’s exploration systems development office. “We’re going out to stay eventually. … It’s many, many decades away, but that’s our intent.” Lockheed Martin Corp. built the capsule and is staging the $370 million test flight for NASA. Orion is NASA’s first new spacecraft for humans in more than a generation, succeeding the now-retired space shuttles. Unlike the capsules under development by two U.S. companies for space station crew transport, Orion is meant for the long haul, both in time and space; it would be supplemented with habitats for potential Mars trips. “We need a spacecraft that’s going to be sturdy enough and robust enough” to carry astronauts well beyond low-Earth orbit for weeks and months at a time, said Lockheed Martin’s Bryan Austin, a former NASA shuttle flight director who will oversee Orion’s maiden voyage. For this orbital tryout, a Delta IV rocket will hoist Orion from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. Liftoff is scheduled for 5:05 a.m. MST, just after sunrise. The rocket, with Orion and its launch escape tower at the

WASHINGTON — An aide to a Republican congressman resigned Monday after her Facebook post criticizing President Barack Obama’s daughters touched off a backlash. Elizabeth Lauten, communications director to Rep. Stephen Fincher of Tennessee, said 16-year-old Malia Obama and her sister, 13-year-old Sasha, should have shown more “class” at a turkey-pardoning ceremony last week at the White House. Addressing her comments directly to the Obama girls, Lauten wrote that they should “respect the part you play,” and added: “Then again your mother and father don’t respect their positions very much, or the nation for that matter, so I’m guessing you’re coming up a little short in the ‘good role model’ department.”

Future Orion launches will use the mega rocket still under development by NASA, known as SLS or Space Launch System.The first Orion-SLS launch is targeted for 2018, unmanned, followed by the first piloted mission in 2021. No one at NASA is pleased with such a poky pace. At best, it will be seven years before astronauts fly Orion — anywhere. By comparison, it took eight years from the time President John Kennedy announced his intentions of landing a man on the moon — before John Glenn had even rocketed into orbit — to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s lunar boot prints in 1969. Given the present budget situation, “it is what it is,” said Kennedy Space Center’s director Robert Cabana, a former astronaut.

WASHINGTON — Conservatives circulated draft legislation Monday aimed at blocking President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration from taking effect, as Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson prepared to offer GOP critics a fullthroated defense of the new policies. Obama’s move to shield some 4 million immigrants here illegally from deportation amounts to “simple common sense,” Johnson was to tell the Republican-led House Homeland Security Committee Tuesday in the administration’s first testimony on the issue since Obama announced the changes two weeks ago. Republicans have vowed to stop Obama’s moves from taking effect, but how they will do so remained unclear. GOP leadership in the House planned to discuss options in a closed-door meeting with the rankand-file on Tuesday morning. New Mexican wire services

At colleges and high schools, outside police stations, courthouses, city halls and federal buildings, a series of nationwide protests on Monday maintained the momentum of those seeking justice for the unarmed black teenager who was killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo. At gatherings from New England to California, most of them peaceful, people walked out of their jobs and classrooms with their hands raised, the gesture that has become a symbol for the death of Michael Brown. The protests came a week after St. Louis County prosecutors announced that a grand jury had declined to indict Darren Wilson, the officer who shot Brown.

NATION & WORLD SUPREME COURT

Justices weigh Facebook threats vs. free speech By Sam Hananel The Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court struggled Monday over where to draw the line between free speech and illegal threats in the digital age. The justices considered the case of a Pennsylvania man convicted of making violent threats after he posted Facebook rants about killing his estranged wife, harming law enforcement officials and shooting up a school. Lawyers for Anthony Elonis say he didn’t mean to threaten anyone. They contend his posts in the form of rap lyrics under the pseudonym “Tone Dougie” were simply a way for him to vent his frustration. The government argues the real test is whether his words would make a reasonable person feel threatened. Several justices seemed concerned that the government’s position is too broad and risks sweeping in language protected by the First Amendment. But there seemed to be little agreement over what standard to use. “How does one prove what’s in somebody else’s mind,” said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was on the bench five days after she had

a stent implanted to clear a blocked artery. Justice Antonin Scalia questioned whether Elonis’ comments about causing physical harm in the context of a marital dispute deserve First Amendment protection. He said the government’s standard “doesn’t eliminate a whole lot of speech at all.” Chief Justice John Roberts wondered about rap stars like Eminem, who has used graphic language about killing his ex-wife that may be misinterpreted as a threat. “How do you start out if you want to be a rap artist?” Roberts asked. Elwood argued that Elonis had a disclaimer on his Facebook page that his comments were only for entertainment purposes. But Justice Samuel Alito seemed skeptical. “This sounds like a roadmap for threatening a spouse and getting away with it,” Alito said. The case has drawn widespread attention from freespeech advocates who say comments on Facebook and other social media can be hasty, impulsive and easily misinterpreted. They point out that a message on Facebook intended for a small group could be taken out of context when viewed by a wider audience.

Climate talks begin in Lima Gap between rich, emerging nations becomes challenge By Karl Ritter and Frank Bajack The Associated Press

LIMA, Peru — With this year on track to become the warmest on record, more than 190 nations began talks Monday on new limits for the greenhouse gases that are already changing global climate patterns and making life more difficult around the world. New targets for fossil fuel use were announced ahead of the climate conference by the U.S., the European Union and China, the first Asian nation to make such a pledge. This has injected optimism into negotiations that are supposed to climax in Paris next year with the adoption of a longawaited climate pact. But India, Russia, Japan and Australia have yet to commit to new limits; and scientists say much sharper emissions cuts are needed in coming decades to keep global warming within 3.6 F of pre-industrial times, the overall goal of the U.N. talks. Global temperatures have already risen about 1.3 F, and more heat-trapping gases are emitted every year. Every degree of warming can cause longlasting impacts, from melting ice caps and rising sea levels to the loss of species. “Human influence on the climate system is clear,” Rajendra Pachauri, who leads the U.N.’s panel of climate-change experts, told delegates at the opening session in Lima. To have a decent chance of reversing the warming trend before the planet hits the 2-degree mark, the world needs to slash emissions by 40 percent to 70 percent by 2050 and to near-zero by the end of the century, according to the panel’s assessments. Scientists are practically united in warning that there’s no way to meet this goal by continuing business as usual. It would require a sustained, permanent, worldwide shift from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources to power homes, cars and industries. And even then, the transition might not happen fast enough without a large-scale deployment of new technolo-

gies to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. “We call on the world to ensure the opportunity does not slip away,” said Nauru’s Marlene Moses, representing a group of Pacific island nations threatened by rising seas. The biggest challenge for the U.N.sponsored talks is dividing responsibilities between rich Western countries and emerging economies such as China and India. The poorest and most vulnerable nations also need help to develop their economies without aggravating global warming, and to adapt to climate changes that are already causing more violent weather, prolonged droughts and intense flooding. Among them is host country Peru, whose glaciers are melting ever-faster, threatening water supplies on the coastal desert where 70 percent of its citizens live and threatening the nation’s hydropower and food security. The negotiators in Lima are focusing on a draft agreement that can be refined before the Paris meeting a year from now. A key issue is what data each government should provide so that formal emissions targets can be compared. Developing countries also want rich nations to make good on promises of

financing to reduce emissions and mitigate climate change impacts, which range from the spread of diseases to coastal flooding to major disruptions to agriculture. There’s no common agreement on how that money should be used; for example, The Associated Press found that Japan has spent $1 billion of its climate financing on new power plants in Indonesia that burn coal — the top source of man-made emissions. The U.N.’s weather agency is expected to present temperature data showing 2014 could be the hottest year on record. Latin America and the Caribbean cause less than 10 percent of global emissions, and yet its people are already shouldering and oversized burden. The regional economic damage from all this will reach $100 billion a year by midcentury, according to research done for the Inter-American Development bank. “The people with the least intensive climate lifestyles are suffering the most,” said geographer Jeffrey Bury of The University of California at Santa Cruz, who studies the social and economic impacts of glacier loss. “I think we can use the Andes high mountain environment,” he said, “to understand what the future holds for the rest of us.”

Cyber Monday shoppers provides U.S. retailers a holiday sales boost NEW YORK — Cyber Monday is turning into Cyber Month. Retailers rolled out discounts and free shipping deals on Cyber Monday, with millions of Americans expected to log on and shop on their work computers, laptops and tablets after the busy holiday shopping weekend. But with retailers extending their online deals into “Cyber Week” and even “Cyber Month,” early reports indicated shopping was less robust online on Monday compared with prior years. It is still expected to be the biggest online shopping day again, as it has been each year since 2010. That is good news for retailers after a Thanksgiving weekend that saw fewer shoppers and lower spending than last year, according to some estimates. Forrester analyst Sucharita Mulpuru said retailers could be playing it safe on deal offers since shoppers have been con-

ditioned to head online to look for sales on Monday. The name “Cyber Monday” was coined in 2005 by the National Retail Federation’s online arm, Shop.org, to encourage people to shop online. After retailers revved up deals, it became the busiest online shopping day in 2010. The name was also a nod to online shopping being done at work, where faster connections made it easier to browse, less of a factor now. Research firm comScore said late Sunday that e-commerce spending for the first 28 days of the November and December shopping season totaled $22.7 billion, up 15 percent from last year.

UNITED NATIONS — The Ebola epidemic and the war in Syria have cast a spotlight on the inadequacies of the United Nations as it tries to operate in a globalized world with a power structure that hasn’t changed since 1945. To many who know the U.N. well, the organization has grown bloated with age, is underfunded and shows few signs of righting itself. That was evident when an internal report by the U.N. health agency revealed that cronyism and incompetence in its leadership may have contributed to the spread of Ebola. Since the U.N. was born after World War II, it has grown from 51 members to 193. As it approaches its 70th anniversary next year, it is hobbled by bureaucracy, politics and an inability among its five most powerful members to agree on many things — including how to bring peace to Syria.

“If you can imagine any big multinational corporation keeping its structures the same as in 1945, it would have been destroyed by now in the marketplace,” said Patricia Lewis, a nuclear physicist who led the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research. The paralysis shows in the debate over what the U.N. itself should be. Most nations agree that the 15-member Security Council — the U.N.’s most powerful body — must adapt to address threats to international security. Yet all reform proposals are repeatedly rejected. “Those who wield the power don’t want to lose the power and they don’t want to share it,” said Lewis, who is now at the Chatham House think tank in London. The five permanent members of the council who can cast vetoes — the U.S., Russia, China, Britain and France — ultimately call the shots. One result is that Russia, a close ally of Syria, has blocked all Western resolutions that

would pressure President Bashar Assad to end the conflict there. Certainly the U.N. has had some success in its primary mission to stop “the scourge of war.” A record 130,000 U.N. peacekeepers are deployed in 16 hotspots, and it has responded to an unprecedented four simultaneous, top-level humanitarian crises: Iraq, Syria, Central African Republic and South Sudan. U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric argues that the U.N. has adapted since its founding. But inefficiency, inaction and sometimes paralysis extend through a sprawling system that includes 15 autonomous agencies such as the World Health Organization; 11 other funds such as UNICEF; and numerous other bodies. The members often fall short in funding the U.N. and owed about $3.5 billion in early November for regular operations and peacekeeping. Countries slashed the budget of WHO, the agency address-

ing the Ebola crisis, by nearly $600 million in 2011, and the U.S., its biggest contributor, has dropped its donation by at least 25 percent since then. The WHO’s botched initial response to Ebola was blamed on a shortage of funds, overstretched staff and a dysfunctional organizational structure. Meanwhile, U.N. peacekeeping forces have been criticized for failing to protect civilians against attacks. Peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous recently said his department is under the most severe strain since the U.N. was founded. The question now is whether the U.N. can change. Stewart Patrick of the Council on Foreign Relations said that institutional reform is extraordinarily difficult in the absence of a major crisis. “It may take something along the lines of an existential crisis or something as horrific as nuclear use or dramatic deterioration in the world’s climate, with potentially catastrophic cascading effects,” he said.

Recount: Powell seeking ‘uniform use of the statute’ Continued from Page A-1 ell alleges there have been several irregularities, including the vote recount order approved by the state Canvassing Board on Nov. 25. Powell’s petition contends the vote recount process described in the order doesn’t follow state law and won’t properly check the accuracy of vote tabulating machines. “We want to ensure the statutes are followed,” Powell said in a telephone interview Monday. “We’re asking for a uniform use of the statute so all of the counties are counted fairly.” A central part of the dispute is over whether state law clearly outlines the recount procedure or whether it should be up to the secretary of state to dictate the process. Rod Adair, spokesman for Secretary of State Dianna Duran, said the recount procedure laid out in the order will actually ensure greater accuracy than what Powell wants. “The secretary of state is saying there cannot be any error at all. If even one vote is in error from a voting machine, there will be a new machine,” Adair said. In part, the Canvassing Board’s recount order calls for 100 ballots from each tabulator, or voting machine, in each county to be used to test the machines’ accuracy. Powell contends state law requires that 2 percent of all the ballots cast in each county be used in testing each tabulator’s accuracy. “There is not any basis in statute or regulation for the 100 number,” according to Powell’s petition. In counties with small voting populations, 100 ballots for each machine would be well over the 2 percent requirement. But in counties with larger populations, such as Santa Fe and Bernalillo counties, the 100 ballots would be well below the 2 percent requirement. Adair argues that the portion of the law that Powell believes applies to the recount would actually allow much greater error rates in the tabulating machines. Two Canvassing Board members, Gov. Susana Martinez and Secretary of State Duran, signed the recount order. State Supreme Court Chief Justice Richard Bosson said in a letter that he could not sign the recount order “after reviewing New Mexico constitutional, statutory and administrative code provisions.” In his petition to the state Supreme Court, Powell also alleges: u Four of six precincts selected for a ballot audit had errors, which would be a 66 percent error rate. u The Canvassing Board did not declare the election results at its Nov. 25 meeting as required be the state constitution and the election code. Adair said the board cannot finalize the results until the recount is completed. u The Secretary of State’s Office did not resolve issues with voters who registered to vote through the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division, but were forced to cast provisional ballots that Powell says have not been counted. Powell said the recount order doesn’t address how the contested provisional ballots will be handled. u Powell himself alerted the Secretary of State’s Office about possible ballot box mishandling in Curry County and says that the state “has failed to respond in any way.” The recount in the land commissioner race is scheduled to begin Monday.

Pit: WisePies will pay installments over 10 years Continued from Page A-1 Since it opened in 1966, The Pit has been considered one of the country’s loudest and most intimidating places to play. It has paralleled the legacies of Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium and Kansas’ Allen Fieldhouse as college venues with overwhelming atmospheres. The Pit famously played host to the 1983 Final Four, a national tournament finale made famous by North Carolina State’s memorable run to an unlikely championship. As Krebs mentioned several times during Monday’s news conference, his department searched high and low for a donor willing to ante up. It was not an easy process. “From my perspective, it needed to get done as soon as possible,” he said. “In an ideal world, we would have been able to reach a deal as the building, as the renovated Pit, was being opened.” WisePies also gets a 20-seat luxury suite in The Pit, graphics and logo placement on the arena’s video boards, plus its name on all single-game tickets and in-game

“

… we have a local company, a local New Mexican, that helped us with this gift, and we are proud to call it WisePies Arena — aka The Pit.”

Brad Hutchins, UNM athletic department spokesman apparel for UNM staff assigned to each home game beginning next season. UNM President Robert G. Frank hailed the agreement as a success for the school and the athletic department. It is the largest donation ever to the department and the sixth-largest in UNM’s history. He said the fact that it happened during what amounts to a slow economic recovery is a positive thing. “If you go and look nationally now, you’ll see that not many naming deals are actually happening,” Frank said. “These are complicated deals to put together, so we’re thrilled it happened.” Krebs said the money will help free up funding that otherwise

would have been earmarked for The Pit’s debt service. That money will be funneled instead into scholarships and other needs for the school’s 450 student athletes. Moving forward, fans must adjust to the new visuals with which they will be bombarded. It continues a trend in recent years in which college sports has been becoming increasingly commercialized. What used to be a bare floor with nothing but boundary lines and the school’s logo and name painted on it is now looking like a billboard. On the opposite side of each WisePies logo is the Verizon wordmark, and together the graphics bookend the lettering for Bob

King Court. On the sidelines near each end of the floor is UNM’s Twitter handle, and the lane in front of each basket bears the Mountain West Conference logo. In the center of it all is the giant UNM sports insignia. “It’s a neat thing, I guess,” said Craig Neal, men’s basketball coach. “It’s raising us some money and, really, this place will always be The Pit.” WisePies is a relatively new business. The company opened its first restaurant on Jan. 18. It operates at three locations in the Albuquerque area and has plans to open an additional 20 restaurants around the city and Southwest in 2015. When plans for the business were announced in 2013, Baird told Albuquerque Business First that Santa Fe was among cities where he hoped to eventually see outlets. Should the company fail to meet any of the payments by the agreed dates, the contract will be voided and all signage will be removed. Contact Will Webber at 986-3060 or wwebber@sfnewmexican.com.

Officers: $263M spending package proposed Continued from Page A-1 will be different is because the president of the United States is deeply invested in making sure that this time is different,” Obama said. He said he was upset to hear the young people in the meeting describe their experiences with police. “It violates my belief in what America can be to hear young people feeling marginalized and distrustful even after they’ve done everything right.” At least for now, Obama is staying away from Ferguson in the wake of the uproar over a grand jury’s decision last week not to charge Darren Wilson, the police officer who fatally shot Brown. The U.S. Justice Department is investigating possible civil rights violations that could result in federal charges, but investigators would need to satisfy a rigorous standard of proof. The Justice Department also has launched a broad investigation into the Ferguson Police Department. Obama is proposing a three-year, $263 million spending package to increase use of body-worn cameras, expand training for law enforcement and add more resources for police department reform. The package includes $75 million to help pay for 50,000 of the small, lapel-mounted cameras to record police on the job, with state and local governments paying half the cost. Estimates vary about the precise number of full-time, sworn law enforcement officers in communities across the U.S., though some federal government reports in recent years have placed the figure at roughly 700,000. Brown’s family wants to see every police officer working the streets wearing a body camera. The Rev. Al Sharpton told reporters afterward he would convey to Brown’s parents what had occurred in the meeting and expressed confidence it would bring change because Obama put his “full weight behind it.” “What happens after the meet-

ing will determine whether we just had a feel-good session or whether we’re moving toward change,” Sharpton said. Cameras potentially could help resolve the type of disputes between police and witnesses that arose in the Ferguson shooting. Some witnesses have said Brown had his hands up when Wilson shot him. The officer who shot him said he feared for his life when Brown hit him and reached for his gun. But there are issues to be worked out — including privacy concerns for police, suspects, victims and bystanders; legal questions over who has access to the recordings; and training to make sure officers are using the cameras and don’t have them turned off at a critical time. The White House said those are the types of concerns that could be addressed by Obama’s newly created Task Force on 21st Century Policing, which will include law enforcement and community leaders. The task force is being co-chaired by Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles H. Ramsey and Laurie Robinson, a professor at George Mason University and

former assistant attorney general at the Justice Department. After the Brown shooting and resulting protests in August, critics questioned why police in full body armor with armored trucks responded to dispel demonstrators. Obama seemed to sympathize when ordering a review of the programs that provide the equipment. “There is a big difference between our military and our local law enforcement and we don’t want those lines blurred,” Obama said in August. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the president concluded he does not want to try to repeal the programs that are authorized by Congress because they have proven to be useful in many cases, citing the response to the Boston Marathon bombing. “But it is not clear that there is a consistency with regard to the way that these programs are implemented, structured and audited, and that’s something that needs to be addressed,” Earnest said. The White House review shows the wide scope of the programs — $18 billion in the past five years from five federal agen-

cies, including the departments of Defense, Justice, Homeland Security and Treasury, plus the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The report says most of the equipment the programs provide are routine — like office furniture, computers and basic firearms — but about 460,000 pieces of equipment primarily used for military purposes have been provided to local police, including 92,442 small arms, 44,275 night-vision devices, 5,235 Humvees, 617 mine-resistant vehicles and 616 aircraft. Obama said he will issue an executive order that will require federal agencies that run the programs to consult with law enforcement and civil rights and civil liberties organizations and recommend changes within four months to make sure the programs are accountable and transparent. “We’re going to make sure that we’re not building a militarized culture inside our local law enforcement,” Obama said. He said the goal instead is to ensure that “crime goes down while community trust in the police goes up.” Demands for police to wear the cameras have increased across the country since Brown’s death. Some officers in the St. Louis suburb have since started wearing the cameras, and the New York Police department became the largest department in the U.S. to adopt the technology when it launched a pilot program in early September. A report from the Justice Department, which had been in the works before the Ferguson shooting, said there’s evidence both police and civilians behave better when they know there are cameras around. In a recent Cambridge University study, the police department in Rialto, Calif. — a city of about 100,000 — saw an 89 percent decline in the number of complaints against officers in a yearlong trial using the cameras. The number of times the police used force against suspects also declined.

Revisit: Other attempts to update law demonstrated challenges Continued from Page A-1 Alexander, a pragmatic lawmaker, is no stranger to education policy. He served as education secretary under George H.W. Bush, as president of the University of Tennessee and as Tennessee governor. He says that “excessive regulation of local schools by Washington is getting in the way of better schools.” He and House Education and Workforce Chairman John Kline, R-Minn., say the federal government needs to get out of the business of deciding what to do about low-performing schools, education standards and teacher evaluations. But, Alexander has also acknowledged the political reality — even if Congress passes a bill, Obama would need to sign it to become law. “We’ll work with Secretary Duncan and the president in hopes we can persuade them that what we want to do is also what they want to do,” Alexander said, referring to Education Secretary Arne Duncan.

Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., discusses his ideas on education last month during an interview as he rides the subway from the U.S. Capitol to his office on Capitol Hill in Washington. Alexander, incoming chairman of the Senate committee overseeing education, says his top priority is fixing the No Child Left Behind law. MANUEL BALCE CENETA/THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Recent history shows just how difficult that can be. In 2013, a bill to update No Child Left Behind backed by Kline passed the full House with no Democratic support. The Senate Education Committee, led by Democrats, passed

a bill the same year with no Republicans on board. It would have put more control in the hands of states but would have given the federal education secretary more leverage than Kline’s plan. Alexander also put forward

his own bill last year. Like Kline’s bill, it wouldn’t have rolled back the annual testing requirement under No Child Left Behind. Both lawmakers have said they are open to making adjustments to their proposals, and Alexander has said he believes there are questions to be asked about whether all the federally mandated annual tests are appropriate and whether states should decide how to assess their students. Obama and Duncan have shown steadfast support for annual standardized testing as a way to chart student growth and track how historically underserved groups are faring. A push by teachers’ unions to push back standardized tests and new Common Core standards and assessments rolling out in much of the country have stoked the debate, said Anne Hyslop, a senior policy analyst with Bellwether Education Partners. “I think there is agreement that parents need information

about their students, but where is that information coming from, and who’s requiring it, is where there’s a lot of debate,” Hyslop said. Alexander takes over the chairmanship as two longtime Democratic education stalwarts, California Rep. George Miller and Iowa Sen. Tom Harkin, retire. Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a former preschool teacher, is expected to be the Senate committee’s senior Democrat. She has an incentive to get a law passed because her home state lost its waiver. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., former superintendent of schools in Denver who sits on the committee, said he hopes Alexander is right that the law can soon be updated. “It’s challenging because a lot of the decisions are made at the local level, and No Child Left Behind built in some ways a huge federal incursion into what has been a state and local set of issues,” Bennet said. “Figuring out how to get that

calibrated correctly is going to be the tough work of the committee, and that’s what we got to do.” Kline said he anticipates Obama will be faced with a choice. “He can either join with us and replace the law, or he can fight, and I would love to hear his explanation for why he thinks it’s better to be in the waiver business, which has schools, districts and states across the country confused and not knowing what the next step is,” Kline said. Roberto Rodriguez, an education official at the White House, said the waivers have long been considered a stopgap, and the administration is happy to work to update the law. “We have a dance partner with Congress,” Rodriguez said at a recent forum. Meanwhile, the Education Department has told states they can apply for an extension to their waiver lasting to 2018 or beyond — well past when Obama leaves office.

Tourism bureau’s ad agency quits Contract with city was more work than what was being paid, creative director says By Daniel J. Chacón The New Mexican

After more than four years as the advertising agency for the Santa Fe convention and visitors bureau, Texas-based TKO Advertising Inc. has thrown in the towel. The agency, which has been responsible for promoting Santa Fe as a leisure and business travel destination and developing advertising campaigns, among other duties, notified the city in October that it was termi-

nating its contract early. The contract required more work than what the city was paying for, Raul Garza, TKO’s president and creative director, said Monday. “Based on the way we managed the account, the compensation was not really sufficient for the work required to fulfill it,” he said. The city’s most recent contract with TKO is performance-based. The one-year, $875,000 deal included an option to renew for three more years. “Compensation shall be paid only for services actually performed and accepted by the city,” states the contract, which was signed in June. The city’s previous contract with TKO

also was for $875,000. But it called for TKO to be paid 15 percent “of the contract value as a retainer to cover all account management, strategic planning … and other agency related services.” “All outside charges will be passed through and billed as net,” the previous contract states. “The monthly retainer will not exceed $8,750 per month and will be billed separately from all project work.” Garza said the agency terminated its contract “for business reasons.” “Agencies have a blended rate, so we divided the gross amount by that blended rate and that told us how many hours we should be allocating to this project for the whole course

Los Alamos man involved in fatal crash identified Driver suspected of drunken driving in collision with a Santa Cruz woman’s car, authorities say By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

A Los Alamos man involved in a fatal vehicle crash in San Ildefonso Pueblo on Saturday has been identified as Robbin Wood, 36, Santa Fe County authorities suspect he was driving drunk when he crashed head-on into a car driven by Elizabeth Quintana, 37, of Santa Cruz. Wood, who has not been charged in the incident while the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office awaits results of a blood-alcohol test, was released from Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center on Sunday. Wood was treated at the hospital for non-life threatening injuries after the crash and later taken into custody by the Los Alamos police for a probation violation in an unrelated case, Los Alamos police Cmdr. Preston Ballew said. If Wood is charged with drunken driving, it would the latest in a series of crashes in which authorities say alcohol was a factor. So far in 2014, Santa Fe County has seen a 28 percent increase from 2013 to 2014 of DWI-related crashes, according to Santa Fe County statistics. As of October 2014, there have been 114 DWI-related vehicle crashes, while there were 89 in 2013 in Santa Fe County. As of November 2014, the state Department of Transportation recorded a total of five alcoholinvolved crash deaths in Santa Fe County for this year. Tom Starke, a member of Santa Fe County DWI Planning Council, said the increase is “very alarming.” Starke, however, said there isn’t one link that could explain the recent rise in DWI-related vehicle crashes. In a recent fatal crash that authorities say is alcohol-related, Jimmy Griego, 59, of Santa Fe, faces six counts, including homicide by vehicle, in connection with the death of Celeste Maestas, 40, of Española. The sheriff’s office accused Griego of causing the Nov. 14 accident on U.S. 84/285 near Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino. Investigators said Griego caused Maestas to veer out of her northbound lane to avoid Griego. Maestas’ Chevy Impala went onto the shoulder of the highway, officials said, before she overcorrected and crossed into the southbound lanes, collided with another vehicle and then slammed head-on into a concrete barrier.

Living for the community Galisteo native Anna Cardenas takes pride in her hometown By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

alisteo rests far off the beaten path, in the rolling New Mexico lands commonly called the llano. The small community has survived the past two centuries thanks to dedicated citizens such as Anna Cardenas. Cardenas said she can trace her familial line back five generations in Galisteo, which might explain why she gives up so much of her time for the community. Her 10 Who Made a Difference nominator wrote that Cardenas lives for the community. “Anna is determined that the shrinking local Hispano community will continue to have a voice in Galisteo, and that the intertwined family histories will be collected and not forgot-

ten,” the nominator wrote. Cardenas lived most of her adult life in Galisteo, a community of about 250 people, along with her husband since the mid 1970s. Cardenas can be considered a full-time volunteer, as she splits her time between two nonprofits commited to the community. She serves as the treasurer for a group called La Sala, an organization dedicated to restoring and recreating the town’s dance hall that had fallen into disrepair during the last 30 years. Barbara King, the president of La Sala, said Cardenas constantly volunteers in the community, and often serves as the face of the historic village. She lauded Cardenas’ efforts to keep the town’s decades-old culture intact.

Former monk to speak about compassion Talk will focus on expanding kindness to all walks of life By Anne Constable The New Mexican

All major faith traditions recognize that part of the foundation of personal well-being is kindness and compassion. And there is growing evidence that people who exhibit greater degrees of compassion tend to flourish in their lives and social relationships. “They find greater fulfillment,” said Lobsang Tenzin Negi, a former monk and now a professor at Emory University. “But how do we go about it?” Negi will answer such questions in a talk on the power of compassion Saturday at

Seret & Sons Gallery. He is the founder and spiritual director of Drepung Loseling Monastery Inc. in Atlanta and a senior lecturer in Emory University’s Department of Religion. He also serves as director of the Emory-Tibet partnerLobsang ship, founded in 1998 to Tenzin Negi bring together the Western scholastic tradition and the Tibetan Buddhist science of mind and healing. Negi developed a model for a compassion meditation program, called Cognitive-Based Compassion Training, that is being used in some research studies, including one funded by the National Institute of Health. It is a way of training the mind until compassion

becomes a spontaneous response. Negi created the program to address the increasing mental distress he saw among students at Emory University, where there were several suicides during the 2003-04 academic year. A colleague interested in studying meditation for health benefits and a student involved in promoting mental health supported the idea of designing a study. Negi drew from the Tibetan Buddlist lojong tradition — described as a set of meditative practices that are designed to bring about “thought transformation” — to create a methodology that could be used by religious and nonreligious people. The study showed that students who practiced meditation (the high practice group) not

Española police: Officer shot unarmed man in leg 37-year-old wounded by bullet after refusing to show hands to cop By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

Española police say an officer shot and wounded an unarmed 37-year-old man in the leg after he refused to obey orders to take his hands out of his pockets on Sunday morning. Detective Solomon Romero, a spokesman for the Española police, said officers at about 10:30 a.m. Sunday responded to a report that Robert Apodoca of Albuquerque had threatened to kill his girlfriend’s Robert family. Apodoca Police who arrived at a residence on Española’s north side found Apodaca, who refused to take out his hands from his pockets after officers several times ordered him to do so, Romero said. An officer fired at Apodaca, and the bullet passed through his left thigh, Romero said. Romero said Apodaca tried to flee after being shot and a second officer used a Taser to help subdue Apodaca, who continued to refuse to show his hands. Apodaca was taken to Presbyterian Española Hospital, where he was treated before being transferred and booked into the Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque on Monday morning. Romero said Apodaca was transported to that jail because Apodaca was wanted on a warrant for failure to report to his probation officer in Albuquerque, Romero said. Romero said the unnamed officer who shot Apodaca has been placed on a paid three-day administrative leave and will not be identified until after the leave is finished. State police were asked to investigate the shooting. Romero said the officer has been with Española police for 16 years and had not previously shot anyone.

New Mexico Lottery said the quick-pick ticket that Maria Marrufo purchased at Smith’s, 2308 Cerrillos Road, matched the winning numbers in Wednesday’s Roadrunner Cash drawing, beating odds of one in 435,897. Marrufo, who plans to use some of her winnings to buy a new car, told lottery officials that after the drawing was held she had given her ticket to her son so she could go to bed early. He checked the ticket’s numbers with the drawing results announced on the lottery’s telephone hotline, a news release said. When he stopped her at the door to her bedroom, Marrufo told lottery officials, she knew the ticket was a big winner. For selling the jackpot-winning ticket, Smith’s is eligible for a $1,000 lottery bonus, the announcement said. The New Mexican

e-Voices Our Web readers speak out: PNM push to buy San Juan coal mine worries activists, Dec. 1

“

Climate change is an emergency, not an abstraction for some people to believe in if it suits their business interests. PNM has consistently obsessed on coal burning and has fought efforts in New Mexico to promote solar, wind and other sustainable sources. The San Juan Mine and the San Juan power plant should both be closed permanently in the next few years. Our air, the health of the Navajo, our children’s future require it. PNM is abusing the public trust and destroying our future. These men need to wake up and serve their public, not manipulate us with code words and fancy regulatory dances.” T.R.

PNM should not be allowed to continue burning “ coal in a state with the second highest solar potential in the country. A methane ‘hot spot’ for a decade is something that should not ignored. We need to be vocal about our opposition to PNM buying a coal mine and continuing to burn coal when there are renewable options.” P.T. One reason PNM might be fighting solar is it is “ 30 times less efficient than coal or natural gas for electric generation. People could not afford to pay what it would cost for renewable energy. Printing money and throwing it at government subsidies for renewables, and passing laws creating unfunded mandates, makes us feel good but will ultimately fail.” J.W. Developers spur Eldorado’s evolution from bedroom community to economic center, Nov. 29 One thing that area really needs is an arts and “ crafts supply store. I don’t have the capital to open one myself, but there are so many artists out there.” K.M. Santa Fe school district grapples with sub shortage, Nov. 27 I subbed for five years in Santa Fe Public Schools “ while my kids were in elementary school. Five years ago they had this same article in the paper and all the schools had banners asking for subs. I wanted to help. Some days, the job was so hard, I would need a week or two break before I would go in again. With the pay at minimum wage and many disrespectful students, it is a tough job. Add to that the unwritten expectation of the district that a sub has to sub a minimum of four days a month or risk being frowned upon, I had enough and finally quit. The district needs to find solutions for the shortage in teachers before demanding so much from subs.” L.G.

“

I became a substitute teacher when my son was small and I needed to be home when he got out of school. The pay was horrible, the students were a nightmare. I had my tires slashed, tacks in my chair, and I would be locked out of the classroom. On the other side of the coin, I had a student proposition me. I had parents accost me because I dared discipline their little saint. Those were the ‘good old days.’ I don’t know how teachers can tolerate the students today.” L.S.

Even the worst education in some other states far “ exceeds public education in New Mexico. There is a culture of disrespect for education in New Mexico.” L.D. PRC member accused of close ties to Uber, Nov. 26 Inﬁghting and backbiting seems to be the norm at “ the PRC. It would be nice if just once the PRC would act in the name of progress and put their personal sniping aside.” K.K. Regulation is from the rider. Low ratings lead to “ loss of drivers’ access to the Uber app. So much more scrutinized than any taxi driver. Ratings of 4.5 can lose access to drive. High performance is expected and watched with each rider.” L.K. If there is nothing wrong with the way Uber con“ ducts business, why then does it not follow the same standards of regulation that every other company in New Mexico does? The answer is the money, which is landing in the pockets of the above-mentioned ‘public servants.’ If they can proﬁt from backing Uber, they will forget the regulations of the state of New Mexico and the well-being of their constituents.” M.M. AG’s Office asks state high court to remove Raphaelson, Nov. 25 What did this judge do to attract so much money “ in glossy advertising mailings against her retention in the last election? After being barraged with mailings, I knew that she must be good to cause someone with unlimited money to campaign so hard against her. I want to know why and who.” C.P. Do we really want a judge who is ignorant of the “ law on the bench? I don’t think so. …” R.D.

Young Mexicans, on the border fence

day seldom goes by without some official declaring that the southern border should be secured. Border security has become the ever-present theme to the extent that we fail to realize just what are we talking about, with no regard to its usefulness. Safe from what is the question everyone should be asking. With that in mind, a questionnaire was sent to some of the young people in Tijuana asking for their thoughts and views about the border fence. The group was made up of people in their early 20s, people who hadn’t been born when the ugly Berlin Wall was brought down. Their opinions are very important to them. First: How does the border fence affect your life? The answers that were emailed in were very surprising. A) “The fence restricts my movements and it limits the number of friends I can make.” B) “The fence affects everyone living in Tijuana;

who enjoys looking at an ugly thing every day?” C) A third respondent was more direct: “My liberty is restricted by the fence, my visa is expired, getting it renewed is not an easy thing, and the arrogance of the border Herbie guards is enough for me. Lopez I will travel to some other country.” Second: Would you like to visit the U.S.? The answers to this question were very revealing. A) Half of the respondents would like to visit the U.S. but getting a visa is extremely difficult. B) The other half of the respondents would like to travel to Canada or Europe. Their reasons were based on stories they had heard from friends about their experiences while visiting those countries. Third: How does the border fence affect

Mexico’s image within the community of nations? This was the most important question judging from the responses. A) “The border fence creates an atmosphere that shows a lack of respect for the Mexican culture. This can be very damaging to a great culture.” B) “The world is asked to believe that Mexico is totally dependent on the U.S.” C) “The border fence creates a feeling of discrimination.” D) “The border fence reduces Mexico’s standings in world affairs such as sports, cultural and artistic matters and architecture.” Finally, Mexico is one of the U.S.’s largest trading partners and is the only country to repay a loan to the U.S. in cash. Still wish to secure the border? Herbie Lopez lives in San Marcos, Calif. He grew up in Ranchos de Taos, attended Menaul School in Albuquerque and moved to San Diego, close to the border.

E-cigarette taxes: Bad for New Mexico

awmakers in Santa Fe recently considered a proposal to institute a tax on vapor products (commonly referred to as electronic cigarettes or e-cigarettes) at the exorbitant rate of 4 cents per milligram nicotine — a level that would make many products more expensive than the real thing: toxic, deadly cigarettes. While this is being posited Gilbert as a “public Ross health” measure, it is in fact a money grab, the effect of which would be antithetical to both public health and New Mexico’s budgetary needs. Consider the science and the math: When a moderate or heavy smoker seeks to escape from this deadly addiction, most would select a nicotine liquid content of 2.4 percent to 3.6 percent — at 4 cents per mg, that would come out to between $28 and $43. The tax on “the real thing” in New Mexico — $1.66 per pack. At that price, how many smokers will decide to continue to smoke? So-called “sin taxes” are appropriate only to the extent that they have a salutary effect on public health while also contributing to public coffers. A necessity is that the tax rate must be commensurate with the adverse health impact of the “sin” being taxed: The more dangerous the product, the higher the rate. It is now well established that, for tobacco and nicotine products, there is a continuum of risk: The most toxic, addictive such product is the cigarette, which takes an annual toll of almost a halfmillion Americans. E-cigarettes are reliably estimated to have a fraction of that risk, based upon the constituents of these devices as well as toxicological analysis of the vapor produced. There is

Sensible e-cigarette regulatory measures, such as enforceable age limits on sales and child-resistant packaging, are surely in order. Preventing smokers from reducing their risk of preventable disease and early death is not. no justification for taxing them at a rate anything like cigarettes; in fact, only one other state taxes e-cigarettes in the same fashion as they do traditional tobacco products (Minnesota). On the contrary, erecting such an obstacle to smokers trying to quit would be antithetical to public health. While the FDA-approved methods work perhaps one out of 10 attempts, there are anecdotal data indicating a much greater success rate for “vaping,” as using an e-cigarette is called. Indeed, while millions of smokers have switched to vaping, the recent sales figures for cigarettes indicate historic declines — not coincidental, I believe. It is

especially important to note that even among young people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s own statistics, cigarette smoking is declining much faster than it is among adults, even as e-cigarette experimentation is rising. Passage of this measure would be harmful to both the public health and to New Mexico small businesses. Indeed, it represents a lose-lose for New Mexico, as seekers of e-cigarettes will simply purchase them online or out of state to avoid this onerous tax. Some ex-smokers, however, will undoubtedly be forced back to smoking due to the expense, and others who have

contemplated vaping instead of smoking will be deterred. I suspect that the Tobacco Settlement Revenue Committee’s decision to consider an exorbitant tax on e-cig/vapor products is not based on public health at all. Instead, it appears that they are acting out of desperation to keep smokers smoking to avoid depleting the state’s tobacco Master Settlement Agreement funds and excise tax collections. Sensible e-cigarette regulatory measures, such as enforceable age limits on sales and child-resistant packaging, are surely in order. Preventing smokers from reducing their risk of preventable disease and early death is not. This tax would only serve to protect cigarette markets at the expense of reduced-harm products such as e-cigarettes. As Chief Justice John Marshall said, “The power to tax is the power to destroy.” This reckless proposal should be permanently tabled. Dr. Gilbert Ross is medical director and acting president of The American Council on Science and Health in New York.

Negotiate for water tank paint solution

erhaps the Santa Fe City Council could negotiate with a local vendor to donate the paint to repaint the water tank in the south-side neighborhood of Tierra Contenta in exchange for something — maybe free advertising (“New paint? Don’t bother,” Our View, Nov. 19). There have been many disagreements of this nature in the past that have shown us that, if our north- or eastside neighborhoods wanted something like this to happen, it happens. So why not for the south side? After all, the City Council voted to spend up to $100,000 to bring a bachelor to Santa Fe. If that proposal had been to bring a gorgeous bachelor for each single Santa Fe woman, maybe that would have been more palatable! JoAnne Vigil Coppler

T the negative ads, the disgusting amount of money spent on the campaigns and very low voter turn-out. Then those articles appeared that were written by obviously intelligent, thoughtful young ladies. My hope for the future came back. Maybe there are many more teenagers out there having conversations and insightful opinions about changing the status quo. I haven’t felt this much hope about change for the better since 2008. Thanks!

Regressive GOP The regressive, mean-spirited Republican Party (redundant) is crowing about its election victory and mandate. Republicans got the victory, but no mandate. The victory was made possible by Citizens United dark money, enabling the GOP to proffer incredible lies, as in the land commissioner race where incumbent Ray Powell did not have enough money to combat the lies of opponent Aubrey Dunn until too late. There was also voter sup-

pression across the nation, taking two forms — ridiculously unnecessary voter ID laws, and illegal purging of registered voters from voter rolls, as in Florida, where Rick Scott won by approximately 60,000 votes while there were approximately 700,000 legal voters removed from the rolls. Finally, there were Democratic voters who stayed home, an outcrop of the first two reasons. The Republicans stole the election. They did not win it, at least not fairly. Richard Shapiro

COMMENTARY: NED BLACKHAWK

Sand Creek: Coming to grips with legacy NEW HAVEN any people think of the Civil War and America’s Indian wars as distinct subjects, one following the other. But those who study the Sand Creek Massacre know different. On Nov. 29, 1864, as Union armies fought through Virginia and Georgia, Col. John Chivington led some 700 cavalry troops in an unprovoked attack on peaceful Cheyenne and Arapaho villagers at Sand Creek in Colorado. They murdered nearly 200 women, children and older men, including the band’s leader, Black Kettle, whose commitments to peace were well known. Sand Creek was one of many assaults on American Indians during the war, from Patrick Edward Connor’s massacre of Shoshone villagers along the IdahoUtah border at Bear River on Jan. 29, 1863, to the forced removal and incarceration of thousands of Navajo people in 1864 known as the Long Walk. In terms of sheer horror, few events matched Sand Creek. Pregnant women were murdered and scalped, genitalia were paraded as trophies, and scores of wanton acts of violence characterize the accounts of the few Army officers who dared to report them. Among them was Capt. Silas Soule, who had been with Black Kettle and Cheyenne leaders at the September peace negotiations with Gov. John Evans of Colorado, the region’s superintendent of Indians affairs (as well as a founder of both the University of Denver and Northwestern University). Soule publicly exposed Chivington’s actions and, in retribution, was later murdered in Denver. After news of the massacre spread, Evans and Chivington were forced to resign from their appointments. But neither faced criminal charges, and the government refused to compensate the victims or their families in any way. Indeed, Sand Creek was just one part of a campaign to take the Cheyenne’s once vast land holdings across the region. A territory that had hardly any white com-

A-11

munities in 1850 had, by 1870, lost many Indians, who were pushed violently off the Great Plains by white settlers and the federal government. These and other campaigns amounted to what is today called ethnic cleansing: an attempted eradication and dispossession of an entire indigenous population. Many scholars suggest that such violence conforms to other 20th-century categories of analysis, like settler colonial genocide and crimes against humanity. Sand Creek, Bear River and the Long Walk remain important parts of the Civil War and of American history. But in our popular narrative, the Civil War obscures such campaigns against American Indians. In fact, the war made such violence possible: The paltry Union Army of 1858, before its wartime expansion, could not have attacked, let alone removed, the fortified Navajo communities in the Four Corners, while Southern secession gave a powerful impetus to expand American territory westward. Territorial leaders like Evans were given more resources and power to negotiate with, and fight against, powerful Western tribes like the Shoshone, Cheyenne, Lakota and Comanche. The violence of this time was fueled partly by the lust for power by civilian and military leaders desperate to obtain glory and wartime recognition. Expansion continued after the war, powered by a revived American economy but also by a new spirit of national purpose, a sense that America, having suffered in the war, now had the right to conquer more peoples and territories. The United States has yet to fully recognize the violent destruction wrought against indigenous peoples by the Civil War and the Union Army. Connor and Evans have cities, monuments and plaques in their honor, as well as a state capital, two universities and even Colorado’s Mount Evans, home to the highest paved road in North America. Saturday’s 150th anniversary was to be commemorated many ways: The National Park Service’s Sand Creek Mas-

sacre Historic Site, the descendant Cheyenne and Arapaho communities, other Native American community members and their non-Native supporters gathered to commemorate the massacre. The University of Denver and Northwestern are also reckoning with this legacy, creating committees that have recognized Evans’ culpability. Like many academic institutions, both are deliberating how to expand Native American studies and student service programs. Yet the near-absence of Native American faculty members, administrators and courses reflects their continued failure to take more than partial steps. While the government has made efforts to recognize individual atrocities, it has a long way to go toward recognizing how deeply the decades-long campaign of eradication ran, let alone recognizing how, in the face of such violence, Native American nations and their cultures have survived. Few Americans know of the violence of this time, let alone the subsequent violation of Indian treaties, of reservation boundaries and of Indian families by government actions, including the half-century of forced removal of Indian children to boarding schools. One symbolic but necessary first step would be a National Day of Indigenous Remembrance and Survival, perhaps on Nov. 29, the anniversary of Sand Creek. Another would be commemorative memorials, not only in Denver and Evanston but in Washington, too. We commemorate “discovery” and “expansion” with Columbus Day and the Gateway arch, but nowhere is there national recognition of the people who suffered from those “achievements” — and have survived amid continuing cycles of colonialism. Ned Blackhawk, a professor of history at Yale University and the coordinator of the Yale Group for the Study of Native America, wrote this column for The New York Times.

he 2014 general election is almost a month behind us, yet New Mexico still doesn’t know the name of the next commissioner of the State Land Office. It is likely that Republican Aubrey Dunn is the winner of the race, ousting incumbent Democratic Land Commissioner Ray Powell. Until the state-mandated recount — the race is only about 700 votes apart — that’s not a sure thing, though. Powell could make up the difference should an error be found. The recount, starting Dec. 8, is automatic by state law. The race for land commissioner in 2014 should serve as warning to all candidates, and not just because it’s so close. Dunn got out ahead early by using Internet advertising to make his case. It was hard to log on from New Mexico without seeing his face. Meanwhile, Powell was campaigning the old-fashioned way that had served him well in the past, shaking hands and meeting voters in person. The Democrat, despite the power of incumbency, didn’t have the money to compete. By the time Powell realized that this race was different, catching up was almost impossible, especially with few dollars to spend. That was especially true in a year when the top-of-the-ticket Democratic candidate for governor was garnering little excitement. Not being able to vote a straight party ticket with one filling-inthe-oval also affected down-ticket races. Some 13,000 fewer voters marked their ballots for land commissioner compared to the governor’s race. Making a last-minute push became even tougher because of a little-known side feud between Powell and a powerful special interest group — the Conservation Voters of New Mexico. Normally, that environmentally conscious group would have endorsed a Democrat, especially one running against a much more conservative Republican — one who supports moving federal public lands to state and local control, a move progressives believe is cover for eventually selling the lands to private owners. When Conservation Voters’ endorsements came out, however, the group decided not to endorse in the land commissioner race. That decision had repercussions. Average voters likely didn’t pay much attention, but donors who might have been able to give Powell enough money in the last days of the campaign weren’t as active (one political observer told us that out-of-state dollars dried up for Powell because of the non-endorsement). Lack of money meant Powell was late responding not just to Dunn’s Internet and newspaper advertisements but also to a brutal television commercial portraying Powell as a meanie who ruined the beloved Dixon Apple Orchard. (On hunting blogs, too, there were discussions about Powell’s decision to ban coyote hunting contests on state lands; just another piece of the drum in opposition to the incumbent.) Now, in December, we still don’t officially know who won the race. We do know that Dunn ran a better campaign, using personal appearances, social media and television to his advantage. Powell didn’t take anything for granted. He worked long and hard for re-election; it’s just that his campaign style worked in the 20th century, not the 21st. He lacked enough money to respond and wasn’t creative enough to use Twitter or Facebook to garner free news coverage. Those weaknesses left an opening for Dunn to push through, which he did. On Dec. 16, the State Canvassing Board will certify election results, including the recount. That the race was so close is just one more reminder that, yes, every vote does count.

LOS ANGELES — Creed frontman Scott Stapp’s wife is seeking a divorce from her estranged husband. Jaclyn Stapp filed for divorce from the 41-year-old singer and asked a judge in Palm Beach County, Fla., last month to have her husband admitted to a substance abuse facility. She says he left their home in early October. Creed last toured together in 2012. The band was one of the most successful rock acts of the 1990s.

7 p.m. on ABC Toy Story That Time Forgot The characters from the animated, hugely popular Disney-Pixar movies return in another made-for-television special. The new tale finds the toys venturing out of familiar territory — their owner Bonnie’s room — and into danger when they encounter a threatening set of action figures. The triceratops named Trixie (voice of Kristen Schaal) is the only hope of setting things right. Tom Hanks, Tim Allen and Don Rickles also return to the voice cast. 8 p.m. on CBS NCIS: New Orleans Mark Harmon, also an executive producer of this spinoff, makes a crossover appearance in his NCIS role as Gibbs in “Breaking Brig.” The character helps Pride (Scott Bakula) seek four prisoners who went on the lam after a transport-bus accident — with one of the fugitives a particular threat to national security. 8 p.m. on CW Supernatural Guest star Kim Rhodes reprises the role of Sheriff Jody Mills in the new episode “Hibbing 911,” which takes her to a retreat

where she’s paired with another female sheriff (guest star Briana Buckmaster) who’s a bit too ambitious for Jody’s taste. Another concern arises when a badly mutilated corpse is found, with local authorities suspecting an animal was the cause. Not buying that, Jody summons Sam and Dean (Jared Padalecki, Jensen Ackles) to investigate. 8:30 p.m. on NBC About a Boy Fiona’s (Minnie Driver) first date with Mr. Chris (guest star Chris Diamantopoulos) turns complicated in the new episode “About a Duck.” She wants Dakota (guest star Leslie Bibb) to go along — and given his interest in Dakota, Will (David Walton, pictured) then becomes a fourth wheel on the date. While that foursome is out on the town, Marcus (Benjamin Stockham) is in the company of Andy and Laurie (Al Madrigal, Annie Mumolo).

PHILADELPHIA ill Cosby stepped down as a trustee of his beloved Temple University following renewed accusations that he had drugged and sexually assaulted a string of women over many years. The 77-year-old entertainer has been a high-profile booster for his alma mater in Philadelphia and a board member since 1982. “I have always wanted to do what would be in the best interests of the university and its students. As a result, I have tendered my resignation,” Cosby said in a statement released by the university. Board chairman Patrick O’Connor told The Associated Press that the comedian does not want to be a distraction. “The Board of Trustees accepts Dr. Cosby’s resignation … and thanks him for his service,” the university said in its release. O’Connor had defended Cosby in a 2005 civil suit filed by a former Temple basketball

Comedian Bill Cosby attends Temple University’s commencement ceremonies May 12, 2011, in Philadelphia. Temple University has announced that Cosby has resigned as a trustee amid more than a dozen sexual-assault allegations.

employee who accused Cosby of drugging and molesting her at his suburban Philadelphia mansion a year earlier. Cosby later settled the lawsuit for undisclosed terms. More than a dozen other women have come forward since the lawsuit was filed to make similar claims. Cosby has strongly denied wrongdoing and has never been criminally charged. A suburban Philadelphia prosecutor declined to file charges in the 2005 case, and most of the other women came forward too late. “He didn’t comment on the allegations [Monday],” O’Connor said. Cosby, who was born and raised in Philadelphia, has been one of Temple’s most famous alumni. Several other colleges have severed ties with Cosby in recent weeks. The Berklee College of Music will no longer award a scholarship in Cosby’s name, and the University of MassachusettsAmherst had him step down as honorary co-chairman of its fundraising campaign.

Judge: ‘In Cold Blood’ files can be published By Roxana Hegeman The Associated Press

WICHITA, Kan. — The son of a Kansas law enforcement officer who helped investigate the 1959 killings that inspired the book In Cold Blood can publish his father’s field notes that he contended Monday substantially contradict the account found in Truman Capote’s literary masterpiece. In a ruling made public Monday, Shawnee County District Court Judge Larry Hendricks said he made an error when he initially blocked publication of the criminal investigation files in 2012. His decision means that Ronald Nye of Oklahoma City can use his father’s files for a book he plans about the slayings of prominent farmer and community leader Herbert Clutter, his wife and two children in Holcomb. The Kansas attorney general’s office had sued Nye to keep him from publishing the files. Nye had planned to auction the records, but later decided to write a book with author Gary McAvoy. Nye and McAvoy can now work with agents and find a publisher for their book. Nye’s father, Kansas Bureau of Investigation agent Harold Nye, kept the case files at his home. Hendricks ruled Nye’s First Amendment right to publish the material outweigh the government’s interest in maintaining the confidentiality of its investigative records. Nye and McAvoy would not reveal exactly what is in the files, but Nye said his father’s notebooks had “vast discrepancies” from what Capote wrote. “Our belief is that there is no other reason [Kansas] would want the materials we have suppressed were it not for the information we found in them,” McAvoy said. “That information connects to other

research I’ve done and supports a pretty compelling new theory — one that I am reluctant to even discuss at this point.” The state’s lawsuit also asked the court to decide legal ownership of the case files. The judge has made no ruling on that issue. Clutter; his wife, Bonnie Mae Fox; and their children, 15-year-old Kenyon and 16-year-old Nancy, were killed at their rural farmhouse. The hunt for their killers mesmerized the nation, drawing journalists from across the U.S. to the small, western Kansas town. Parolees Dick Hickock and Perry Smith were executed for the killings in 1965. Capote’s book about the crime inspired a movie of the same name. The judge wrote that Kansas had not shown a legal justification for suppressing the material or for interfering with the public’s right to know what is in them. He also rejected the state’s argument that the Clutter family’s privacy concerns justified blocking their release. “The court is sensitive to the plaintiff’s concern about publicity and its effect on the Clutters,” Hendricks wrote. “However, publicity continues to follow this case even fifty-five years after its occurrence.” O. Yale Lewis, Jr., an attorney for Nye and McAvoy, said his clients hope to have their book published in time for the 50th anniversary in September of the publication of Capote’s book. Ronald Nye said his late father took detailed notes about the case. Nye recalled that his father was so disappointed in Capote’s book that he read only about 115 pages before throwing it across the room. He said his dad walked out of the movie’s premiere after just 15 minutes.

ST.

According to the Post-Dispatch, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told his staff by email Monday night that Kevin Demoff, the executive vice president of football operations for the Rams, called “to apologize to our department” for the players’ action before kickoff

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — John Elway had Terrell Davis to give Denver a different dimension in the late 1990s. Now, Peyton Manning has C.J. Anderson. The undrafted second-year back from Cal has gouged opponents for an average of 164.5 yards from scrimmage since leapfrogging injured running backs Ronnie Hillman and Montee Ball a month ago. And he’s provided a toughness and balance that Manning appreciates. “I like it. We kept the defense on their heels,” Manning said after Anderson ran for a career-best 168 yards in Denver’s 29-16 pounding of the Chiefs. That bested the 167-yard performance he had a week earlier against Miami.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A neuropathologist will look for signs of traumatic brain injury in an Ohio State athlete who was found dead in a trash bin of an apparent selfinflicted gunshot wound and had a reported history of concussions, a coroner said Monday. The examination, not normally part of Kosta the autopsy process, Karageorge is being done on Kosta Karageorge because of that history, said Dr. Anahi Ortiz, the Franklin County coroner. The pathologist “may or may not be able to determine any sort of abnormality or defect from traumatic brain injury,” Ortiz said. Preliminary results from a Monday morning autopsy confirmed that Karageorge died of a gunshot wound, Ortiz said, but she hasn’t yet definitively ruled it a suicide. However, Columbus police said Sunday that Karageorge died of an apparent selfinflicted gunshot wound. A handgun was found in the trash bin with him, police spokesman Sgt. Rich Weiner said. His mother, Susan Karageorge, told police her son had had several concussions and a few spells of being extremely confused. Players knew of Karageorge’s history of concussions, teammate Michael Bennett, a defensive tackle, said Monday. “We knew he had a lot of concussions and we were worried about that. But we didn’t see any side effects of it,” Bennett said. Karageorge, 22, was a Buckeyes wrestler for three years, and the senior defensive tackle joined the football team as a walk-on this season. Although earlier reports said Karageorge played in one game, Ohio State spokesman Jerry Emig corrected that Monday, saying Karageorge had not played in any games. A woman and her son looking for items in a trash bin Sunday found the body of Karageorge, who disappeared four days earlier after sending his parents a text message. The message said, “I am sorry if I am an embarrassment but these concussions have my head all … up.” Police reports released Monday indicated a man looking for food in the trash bin earlier in the day may have found Karageorge’s body, but he didn’t report it and instead told other people who called police. After Karageorge went missing, the football team’s physician, Dr. Jim Borchers, said he could not comment on the medical care of student athletes. But, he said, “We are confident in our medical procedures and policies to return athletes to participation following injury or illness.” Ohio State football coach Urban

“He has been special,” said Manning. When Anderson hasn’t had his head buried in his playbook lately, he’s been immersed in his cellphone. He had 165 texts to go through Monday morning, including this nugget from his mother: “Just keep grinding. Stay humble.” Anderson promised her once more that he’ll never let this sudden success go to his head. “I’m just playing the same ball I’ve been playing since I was 8,” he said. “Just trying to have 18 [Manning] and the coaching staff trust me a lot more and just trying to do a lot more to help my team win.” He did plenty against the Chiefs, gaining 90 yards after contact and helping the Broncos control the clock for nearly 39 minutes, running 79 plays to Kan-

ALBUQUERQUE f Monday’s biggest bombshell was The University of New Mexico’s decision to rename The Pit after a pizza joint no one’s ever heard of, a close second came at the end of that afternoon’s press conference to discuss the Lobos’ Wednesday meeting with New Mexico State. At the conclusion of his 20-minute gab session with reporters, UNM head coach Craig Neal suggested that one (or both) of his two injured guards could wind up sitting out the entire season as a redshirt. Boom. It means the outlook for what appears to be a tough, gloomy season might have gotten a whole lot worse. The Lobos (3-3) have lost three of their last four games and are in desperate need of someone to step up and produce points. One of the possible redshirts was, by all accounts, that guy. Missing in action since New Mexico visited the Puerto Rico TipOff a week and a half ago have been sophomore point guard Cullen Neal and junior shooting guard Arthur Edwards. Neal was the team’s leading scorer and its primary threat at both driving the ball and dropping in the 3-pointer.

New Mexico guard Cullen Neal shoots and scores two of his game-high 26 points against Idaho State, in the second half of a Nov. 14 game in Albuquerque. New Mexico won 79-55.

JUSTIN FUENTE, MEMPHIS Memphis football has been a wreck for a long time, and it was at a particularly low point when Fuente left took over in 2012, having won five games in three years under two coaches. The 38-year-old former TCU offensive coordinator has quickly made the Tigers (9-3) American Athletic Conference champions, preach-

ing accountability and responsibility. Memphis will be fortunate to hang on to him for another season, though his age and having had just one winning year could keep some suitors away. MARK HUDSPETH, LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE The Mississippi native seems destined to one day end up in the Southeastern Conference. He is 35-16 in the four seasons with the Ragin’ Cajuns and did seven years at Divi-

NHL

Fall of Stars among early season surprises The Associated Press

Tyler Seguin thought the Dallas Stars could’ve been a contender. They still might be, but it’ll take some work. More than a quarter of the way through the regular season, the Stars are 11th in the competitive Western Conference and five points back of a playoff spot. Along with the successes of the Nashville Predators, Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames and Montreal Canadiens, the Stars’ struggles have been among the biggest surprises in the NHL so far. “We’ve lost games we probably should’ve won,” general manager Jim Nill said recently. “But it’s that old analogy: When you dig a hole, it takes more dirt to fill it in. We’re finding more dirt right now.” Seguin said before training camp that Dallas was ready to contend with the Los Angeles Kings, Chicago Blackhawks and St. Louis Blues, the top teams in the West. A trip to the playoffs last season, even though it ended in the first round at the hands of the Anaheim Ducks, infused plenty of belief in the Stars, and offseason additions of Jason Spezza and Ales Hemsky added to that. “[Being a contender is] something earned more than just given, and I think we did that last year,” Seguin said in

September. “But that’s one year. We want to be a consistent team.” Consistent, the Stars have not been. Coming into Tuesday night’s game at the Toronto Maple Leafs, Dallas is 3-4-1 in its past eight games. Starting goaltender Kari Lehtonen (.905 save percentage) hasn’t played well, and backup Anders Lindback — whose struggles in replacing Ben Bishop for the Tampa Bay Lightning last spring all but handed a first-round victory to the Canadiens — has been worse with a goals-against average of 4.63 and save percentage of .861. A young, unproven defense hasn’t helped, so Nill changed up his blue-line by trading veteran Sergei Gonchar to Montreal for forward Travis Moen and Brenden Dillon to San Jose for Jason Demers. Kevin Connauton was claimed off waivers by the Columbus Blue Jackets, and call-up John Klingberg (three goals and five assists in 10 games) has been better than advertised. Up front, the Stars are without winger Valeri Nichushkin until March after he had hip surgery. And Hemsky still hasn’t panned out with just a goal and five assists in 23 games. “We’ve had a lot of guys on

our team [who] just haven’t clicked,” Nill said. The opposite is true for the Predators, whose 34 points through 23 games were tied for tops in the league pending the Lightning’s game Monday night at the New York Rangers. Nashville has gotten superb goaltending from Pekka Rinne, who leads all starters with a 1.82 GAA and .933 save percentage. “There’s no question that psychologically you probably play a little bit different with Pekka in net than we did last year for 51 games that he wasn’t there,” GM David Poile said. Rinne missed much of last season with a hip injury and an infection. He returned for the end of 2013-14 and starred for Finland at the world championships. The Predators are back in contention under new coach Peter Laviolette thanks in large part to some new additions. Twenty-year-old Filip Forsberg is Nashville’s leading scorer, and his linemates — free-agent signee Mike Ribeiro and trade acquisition James Neal — have produced plenty, as well. “We believe that we have a good team here and we can compete against any team,” Ribeiro said. Goaltending has been crucial to the early success of three Canadian teams: Ryan Miller’s

Canucks, Jonas Hiller’s Flames and Carey Price’s Canadiens. Miller (2.42, .911) has stabilized the position in Vancouver after a few years of drama surrounding Cory Schneider and Roberto Luongo. After shutting out Columbus last week, Miller said he’s “still building the right kind of game to play with this team.” So is Hiller, signed to be the Flames’ starter after getting pushed out by younger depth in Anaheim. He and Karri Ramo have been excellent in Calgary, and defensive scoring has gotten GM Brad Treliving’s team into a playoff spot in the early going. “Early on it was our goaltender making a bunch of saves and our defense scoring,” Treliving said. Montreal GM Marc Bergevin has already been making moves, specifically to add depth on defense and free up cap space in 2015-16. Second in the Atlantic Division to the Lightning going into Monday’s action, the Canadiens have relied on Price (2.34, .922) in a major way. “Obviously goaltending’s been very good,” Bergevin said. “Overall I think our compete level’s been there most of the year, and when you compete and you have good goaltending, you’ll win your share of games.”

Lobos: Decision to come by mid-January Continued from Page B-1 Boston College on Nov. 20, an injury that hasn’t required surgery but will keep him in street clothes for three to five weeks. Edwards was lost later in the tournament with a dislocated finger on his shooting hand, an injury where the bone broke through the skin and required stitching. He has been fitted with a splint and could return sooner than Neal. On Monday, the question was presented to Craig Neal about the likelihood of redshirting one (or both) players. “I would say one of the two,” he said. “I think we could go the whole year without one of them. Maybe the whole year without both of them. Right now I’d say the possibility is one out of the two.” The UNM coaching staff has until midJanuary to make a decision on whether or not to apply for redshirt status for any player. They faced a similar situation when former player Alex Kirk had offseason back surgery prior to his sophomore season in 2012-13. The team waited until January to officially announce he’d sit out the entire season. While Cullen Neal’s injury appears to be more serious than Edwards’, there’s no telling which direction the coaching staff will go when it comes to holding someone out all year. “I’d rather not say because then it puts them in a bad spot,” Craig Neal said when

prodded about which of the two is the likeliest candidate. “Dealing on Arthur’s hand, he started off on a long splint and now he’s got a short splint on that he’s able to use his other knuckles, so if he can come back and he’s healed, then he’ll be back sooner. “With Cullen’s deal it’s the worst possible thing,” he continued. “He’d have been better off having a fracture. His whole thing, when you talk to him about somebody who went through a year where he wasn’t healthy til February — last year — and then he’s going to miss, how many games? If you go where he’s missing 10-12 games then, you know, he’s got to do what Cullen wants to do, not what the coach wants him to do, and then dad’s got to step in.” In any case, things don’t look good for a team struggling to find any kind scoring from an offense that lacks a dynamic points machine minus Neal’s hot hand. It’s compounded by the fact that power forward Jordan Goodman will miss Wednesday’s game against New Mexico State while nursing concussion symptoms. NCAA protocol requires a player to sit out for 10 days after suffering a concussion, then pass an examination before returning to action. Goodman was injured in practice early next week and may also miss the Lobos’ game this Saturday at Valparaiso. “He may not be back until after finals,” Neal said. “Right now, he can’t play.”

If it were up to all three ailing players, they’d be back on the floor right now. Cullen Neal in particular. “But I’m not going to put him out there unless he’s OK,” Craig Neal said. “I know he would go out there right now and play if I’d let him play. But you’re talking about a kid who relies on his feet a lot, so it’s not easy. It’ll be one of those things that’ll be day by day.” NOTES Calling all shooters! The Lobos hit just 3 of 24 attempts from 3-point range in an ugly loss to Southern California in The Pit (er, WisePies Arena) over the weekend. With Cullen Neal on the shelf and Hugh Greenwood laying bricks during an 0-for-11 outing against the Trojans, head coach Craig Neal said the only player he trusts to jack the long ball right now is Deshawn Delaney — a player not typically known for his long-range ability. Another option is freshman Sam Logwood, a player who made a living in high school driving to the basket rather than launching from distance. Neal isn’t buying any player’s excuse about losing confidence because, according to the coach, the only thing that can take that away is the gray matter between a player’s ears. “If you’re confident enough, I think you can make shots,” he said. “No one can take that from you, but it’s up to you to find it.”

Ohio: Injures may raise risk for depression Continued from Page B-1 Meyer said Monday he’d been instructed not to talk about medical issues surrounding Karageorge. “I can say this: This is the best group of medical people I’ve ever been around, the way they handle their business and the attention to detail,” Meyer said. Wrestling coach Tom Ryan told The Columbus Dispatch that Karageorge did not have

documented concussions as a wrestler. Brain injuries seem to increase people’s risk for depression, though most studies on that have been with people who had severe head injuries, said Dr. Tom McAllister, chairman of psychiatry at Indiana University, who has studied concussions in college athletes. If the person had depression or an anxiety disorder in the past, “it often is the case that

the concussion seems to exacerbate it,” he said. “These injuries don’t occur in a vacuum. People bring their own past history … into the injury.” Police found Karageorge’s body within a couple hundred yards of his home and about a half-block from High Street, the main artery of the campus. Karageorge had last been seen at his Columbus apartment, when roommates said he left for a walk. Several teammates on Mon-

day recalled Karageorge as a hard worker at every practice, often staying for extra work, knowing he had little chance of ever playing. “Every day he came out with the same attitude, no matter what the circumstance was,” said offensive lineman Pat Elfein, adding: “The kid was just a grinder, you know?” AP chief medical writer Marilynn Marchione reported from Milwaukee.

Coaches: Rams are 22-16 under McElwain Continued from Page B-1 sion II North Alabama, where he made the playoff five times. He also spent a couple seasons as an assistant at Mississippi State, so if Dan Mullen leaves the Bulldogs expect Hudspeth’s name to be mentioned immediately. JIM MCELWAIN, COLORADO STATE In eight seasons before McElwain got to Fort Collins, CSU had managed two winning seasons and never more than seven victories in any year. In three seasons under McElwain, who spent four years as offensive coordinator under Nick Saban at Alabama, the Rams are 22-16. The win totals have risen from four to eight to 10. At 52,

he has a wealth of experience. His name has already come up in connection to openings at Florida and Nebraska. The Missoula, Mont., native also has a $7.5 million buyout, which could scare some schools away. TIM DERUYTER, FRESNO STATE Fresno State (6-6) dropped off after the departure of star quarterback Derek Carr, but in many ways it might have been DeRuyter’s best job salvaging a season that seemed lost when the Bulldogs were 3-6. Fresno State won its last three games to earn a spot in the Mountain West title game where the Bulldogs will try to make it three conference titles in three seasons under the cool 51-year-old former Air Force linebacker.

MATT WELLS, UTAH STATE Well, 41, went from offensive coordinator to head coach at Utah State after Gary Andersen left for Wisconsin. He has kept the Aggies rolling (18-9), despite roster turnover and quarterback injuries. The only knock on the former Utah State quarterback is that he stepped into a good situation at a program that had already been built. But keeping a good thing going takes talent, too. Extra points: Matt Campbell, Toledo, and Matt Rhule, Temple, are two more upand-coming 30-somethings. Doc Holliday, Marshall, has plenty of experience and worked under Urban Meyer at Florida.

Las Vegas Robertson wins 58-41 over Ruidoso in opener New coach, new players, new approach. That was the story of Las Vegas Robertson’s seasonopening 58-41 win over visiting Ruidoso on Monday night at Michael Marr Gymnasium. Kendall Garcia led the way with 14 points while Kimberly Armijo had nine points and seven rebounds, helping the Lady Cardinals (1-0) pull away in the second half after leading 23-20 at the midway point. Robertson is in its first season under new head coach Leroy Barela. “It took us a while to get past those first-game jitters,” he said. “This is the fourth coach and fourth system these girls have had in four years, but we’ve got a lot of new players and it’s kind of a fresh start.” Freshman Angelia Montoya, a 6-foot-2 post, had eight points and eight rebounds in just eight minutes of playing time. As for Garcia, it was her first game in Las Vegas after transferring in the offseason from Piedra Vista in Farmington. Up next for the Lady Cardinals is a game against Wingate on Thursday in the opening round of Santa Fe Indian School’s tournament. The New Mexican

NBA ROUNDUP

Dolphins rally, beat Jets on late FG Leonard leads Spurs over 76ers By Barry Wilner

The Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — It’s all in the mindset. “Scratch, claw, bite, kick, whatever Dolphins 16 you have Jets 13 to do make a play and win,” Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake explained after Monday night’s dull but effective slugfest with the New York Jets ended in a 16-13 Miami victory. “It’s December,” added rookie receiver Jarvis Landry. “The only thing that matters is winning, no matter how you get it done.” The Dolphins found the right formula to stay in the AFC playoff race: Simply let the Jets run the ball all night, and wait for New York to make mistakes — something the Jets have done quite well all season. Caleb Sturgis’ third field goal, from 26 yards with 1:57 remaining, gave Miami (7-5) the comeback victory over its archrival. New York (2-10) rushed for 277 yards on 49 carries, but made enough key errors in the second half to lose. “Can’t believe we’re 2-10,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said, shaking his head and pausing. “It’s a joke.” The Dolphins remained a factor in the wild-card race thanks to special teams; Landry’s eight receptions; Lamar Miller’s 4-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter; and plenty of defense when the Jets needed to pass. New York’s Geno Smith threw only 13 times, fewest in the NFL this season, and gained 49 yards. The usually reliable Nick Folk missed two field goals. All of that offset a season high on the ground as Chris Johnson had his best performance for the Jets with 105 yards. “We had to draw a line in the dirt. No more,” Wake said of his team’s stinginess after halftime. “We came out in the second half scheme-wise the same, but guys played the way they’re sup-

posed to play.” Sturgis also made field goals of 43 and 44 yards. After trailing most of the way, Miami tied it on Miller’s run with 10:24 remaining. That brought the loudest cheers of the night; thousands of Dolphins fans at MetLife Stadium braved the wet, windy conditions. Jets problems with penalties on special teams hurt them all night, and a holding call against Saalim Hakim set up the Dolphins at New York’s 39 on the tying drive. On the winning possession, backup tight end Dion Sims had catches of 18 and 17 yards. The Jets kept pounding the ball effectively. They even got into field goal position after Miami made it 13-13. But Koa Misi’s sack pushed New York back to the Miami 27 and Folk missed wide left for the second time. Folk had made 18 of 20 entering the game. That’s the way the Jets’ season has gone, of course. “I feel sick,” Ryan said. “We

can’t buy a win.” Early on, Greg Salas, with his fourth team in four pro seasons, scored his first career touchdown. But the receiver didn’t get it through the air, instead scoring on a well-conceived reverse on which the Dolphins had no one close to him until he reached the 2. He dived into the end zone to cap an 85-yard drive, but that ended his night; Salas hurt a hamstring. Sturgis missed a 43-yard field goal on the next possession for Miami, further boosting New York’s confidence. The Jets took the ball into Dolphins territory for the third successive series, and got more points on Folk’s 40-yard field goal. As New York kept grinding away on the ground — it had 210 yards rushing in the opening half — it also ate up the clock. But Folk missed from 48 yards and Miami took advantage on Sturgis’ 43-yard field goal to end the half. Sturgis added his 44-yarder to start the second half, and Folk followed with a 45-yarder that

bounced off the crossbar and through, making it 13-6. Then came two huge plays that led to, well, nothing. Dion Jordan partially blocked Ryan Quigley’s punt, resulting in a 6-yard kick to the New York 41. It was the second straight week an opponent got a piece of a Quigley punt. On the next play, though, Miller bobbled Ryan Tannehill’s short pass and the ball squirted into cornerback Darrin Walls’ hands. Walls slipped, got up and returned the interception 25 yards to the Dolphins 30. But Wake got a sack — he leads Miami with 9 1-2 — and that forced a punt. NOTES u Tannehill was 25 of 35 for 235 yards. Smith threw for 65 yards on his seven completions, but also was sacked twice for minus-16 yards. u New York’s previous rushing high this season was 218 vs. New England. u Dolphins WR Brian Hartline left with a knee injury.

Anderson: Churning style pays dividends Continued from Page B-1 sas City’s 38. That, in turn, kept Denver’s defense fresh enough to pile up six sacks and another half-dozen QB knockdowns. Anderson’s churning style was still paying dividends a day later. “Man, I turned on the film and we only got like 21 minutes of watching,” cornerback Chris Harris Jr. said. “Usually it’s like 40. So, I mean that’s a huge difference. And it’s something we need every week. Time of possession is huge. We don’t want to put all of the onus on Peyton. It’s a team game this year, a total team this year. So, we want to everybody to make his job a lot easier.” Last year, Manning set NFL records by throwing for 5,477 yards and 55 touchdowns. But that one-dimensional offense was exposed in the Super Bowl, and the Broncos vowed to become a well-rounded team this season. Enter Anderson, the 5-foot-8, 224-pound wrecking ball whose smarts help him hit the holes fast and whose low center of gravity keeps him mowing over linebackers and defensive backs once he eludes the linemen. “It’s just running hard and letting people feel my story,” Anderson said. That story is one of growing up in the Country Club Crest neighborhood in Vallejo, Calif. It’s one of dodging danger on the streets. It’s a story of being smart but

also the wise guy in high school and having to go to Laney College for two years, where he learned to hit the books with the same passion that he hit the holes. He transferred to Cal, where he would rise from seventh string to second string but make just two starts in two years before being bypassed in the 2013 NFL draft. He signed with the Broncos, he said, because “for one, I knew I had the football IQ to play with 18. Two, I felt the running back position wasn’t solidified.” Anderson gave half of his $12,500 signing

bonus to his mom, Neva Craig, who works as an elementary school lunch lady. He rushed for 69 yards in his first preseason game but a knee injury set him back and he ended up rushing just seven times for 38 yards his rookie season. This year, he hit the halfway point with just 82 yards rushing and one catch. Over the last month, he scored three times and gained 658 yards from scrimmage while averaging 5.6 yards a carry and 11.3 yards per catch. Anderson and his two brothers were raised by a single mother who taught her boys to be humble and never forget their roots. “My mom says it best: We were never fed with a silver spoon,” Anderson said. “There were nights where dinner was peanut butter and jelly. I mean, there was so many things that we’ve been through. Every time I’m on the field when I break a tackle or lay the boom, I’m just letting them know this is what I’ve been through at home and what I did to get here.”

PHILADELPHIA — The Spurs didn’t have Tim Duncan or Tony Parker, and it gave Kawhi Leonard a chance to shine. Leonard scored a game-high 26 points Spurs 109 and had 76ers 103 a crucial three-point play in the final minute to help the San Antonio Spurs defeat the winless 76ers 109103, extending Philadelphia’s franchise-worst losing streak to start the season to 0-17. “I try to assert myself every night but tonight there were a lot of shots to shoot,” Leonard said. The Spurs (13-4) played without stars Duncan (rest) and Parker (shoulder). Even without the duo’s more than 31 points, San Antonio had little trouble dispatching Philadelphia. Aron Baynes scored 15 points and Manu Ginobili and Cory Joseph each added 14 for San Antonio, which won its eighth straight. Leonard also had 10 rebounds while tying a career-high in points. Leonard scored 20-plus points for the fourth time this season after doing it three times all of last season. “We’re trying to loosen up a bit and give him more of a green light,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. Michael Carter-Williams had 24 points and 11 rebounds and Alexey Shved chipped in 19 points for Philadelphia. The 76ers also were shorthanded, as leading scorer Tony Wroten (knee) missed his second straight game and rookie first-round pick Nerlens Noel (hip) sat after getting injured in Sunday’s practice. Philadelphia coach Brett Brown was surprised Noel, who is day-to-day, pulled himself out after warming up.

string. A night earlier, Wade returned after missing seven games and scored 27 points in a victory at New York. He played 32 minutes in that game, and 27 on Monday. The Heat came into the game leading the NBA in 3-point shooting at 38.6 percent, but they made only 9.1 percent this time. They opened the game going 0 for 8 from 3-point range. Bosh finally ended the game-opening drought by making a 3 with about six minutes left in the first half. The only other successful 3-pointer for Miami was by Norris Cole with 10.9 seconds left in the first half.

NUGGETS 103, JAZZ 101 In Salt Lake City, Ty Lawson had 15 points and made a double-pump jumper to beat the shot clock with 29.6 seconds left that boosted Denver over Utah in a charged atmosphere. The game heated up after Arron Afflalo was ejected and the Jazz stormed back from a 22-point deficit to tie the game in the final minutes. Lawson, who also had 12 assists, made the game-winner from the left wing between two Jazz defenders.

Rams: Police association reacted angrily Continued from Page B-1 Sunday. The email from Belmar said Demoff “clearly regretted that any members of the Ram’s organization would act in a way that minimized the outstanding work that police officers carry out each and every day.” But later Monday in an interview with the newspaper, Demoff denied apologizing, though he said he expressed regret in “any offense their officers may have taken.” “We do believe it is possible to both support our players’ First Amendment rights and support the efforts of local law enforcement as our community begins the process of healing,” he said. In an email sent to The Associated Press, St. Louis County

police Sgt. Shawn McGuire said Belmar interpreted Demoff’s comments as an apology. Jared Cook, Kenny Britt, Chris Givens, Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin made the “Hands up. Don’t Shoot!” gesture protesters in Ferguson — a suburb of St. Louis — have been using since a grand jury did not indict police officer Darren Wilson over the Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown, who was black. Some witnesses said Brown had his hands up before being shot by officer Wilson. Wilson, who is white, told the grand jury that he shot Brown in self-defense. Rams coach Jeff Fisher said Monday that neither the team nor the NFL would discipline the players. He said it was their “choice to exercise their free speech,” but he would not com-

ment further on their actions. “It’s my personal opinion, I firmly believe, that it’s important that I keep sports and politics separate,” Fisher said. “I’m a head coach. I’m not a politician, an activist or an expert on societal issues, so I’m going to answer questions about the game.” Fisher did say he plans to talk with the players, who are all black, but those conversations will remain confidential. The players’ made their show of support before running onto the field during pregame introductions. The St. Louis Police Officer’s Association issued a statement demanding the players be disciplined and the NFL to issue an apology. The NFL responded with a

one-sentence statement Monday from spokesman Brian McCarthy: “We respect and understand the concerns of all individuals who have expressed views on this tragic situation.” After the Rams’ 52-0 rout of Oakland, the players said they meant no disrespect by their show of support. “We just understand that it’s a big tragedy and we hope something positive comes out of it,” Bailey said, following his five catch 100-yard performance. Added Cook: “We help build up the people around this community daily with our visiting schools and talking to kids, so coming out and showing that we’re unified with the rest of them, it was key to us.” Ben Walker in New York contributed to this report.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Spouse doesn’t get a say in loan Dear Annie: Five years ago, my husband’s best friend, “Cary,” was in financial trouble and asked my husband for a loan, which he sent. I only found out about it when the bank sent a receipt to our house. It was for $25,000. I nearly fell over. I questioned my husband, and he said our loan kept Cary out of bankruptcy, so I dropped the subject. Last year, Cary told my husband he still wasn’t able to pay back any of the money, and my generous husband said he’d forgive the loan altogether. I found out about this when we planned a trip to Cary’s area. I told my husband I didn’t want to visit Cary because he’d made no attempt to pay back any of the loan, and that’s when my husband dropped the bombshell. I am angry that my husband didn’t discuss either of these decisions with me. He has worked hard for his money, and we’ve had many ups and downs financially. We don’t take extravagant vacations, my car is eight years old, and we are paying three college tuitions. My sister is struggling, too, and I would love to help her, but wouldn’t even consider it without talking it over with my husband.I don’t understand how anyone could borrow money with no intention of paying it back. How can Cary sleep at night? Should I call Cary and express my disappointment that he’s taken advantage of his best friend? — Loser Friends Dear Friends: Your problem isn’t Cary. It’s a husband who thinks he should be making major financial choices without consulting his life partner. He didn’t want to get into a disagreement with you, so he made a unilateral decision. It’s also possible he believes that if the money comes from his salary, it’s his to do with as he chooses. For minor purchases, that’s fine, but $25,000 could put a dent in his family’s living situation and affects all of you. You need to discuss this with him, calmly, and explain why his actions were both hurtful and disrespectful. If he cannot understand your position, ask him to come with you to see a counselor who can

mediate. We wouldn’t want this to happen again. Dear Annie: I have a plea for anyone who has a pool, pond or other body of water around their home. This past Monday, my beautiful, active, mobile 11-monthold grandson got out of the house and fell into the koi pond. Instead of planning his first birthday, we are planning his funeral. Please, if you have any type of standing water, put a fence around it. No parent, grandparent or sibling should go through what we are dealing with right now, especially for something so preventable. — A Grieving Grandmother in Redondo Beach, Calif. Dear Grieving: This is so heartbreaking. Please know that your words of warning will save a life. Little children can drown in very little water, and they do not have the understanding or the physical dexterity to avoid a tragedy. And no matter how closely you watch your child, accidents happen. Readers, whether the children are yours or someone else’s, fence off these areas or keep them behind lock and key so they are safe for everyone. Our deepest condolences to your family. Dear Annie: I read of so many happy reunions with birth parents, but I certainly did not have one. I found my birth mother when I was 35. I discovered a half-brother who didn’t know about me and resented me a great deal. We have no contact. My birth mother lied to me with three different stories about why I was adopted. She stayed with me for a week, demanded all of my time and expected to hug me constantly. I did not care for her “concern” after 35 years. She visited twice more and nothing improved. I eventually cut off all correspondence with her. — Iowa Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

So if you turned 70½ in 2014, you have about four more months to take the distribution and avoid a hefty tax penalty. However, in subsequent years, the deadline to take your distribution is Dec. 31.

If you’re over 70½, you can no longer make regular contributions to a traditional IRA, even if you’re still working. However, at any age, you may still contribute to a Roth IRA and make rollover contributions to a Roth or traditional IRA.

Santa Fe startup helps make taking sports videos easy with SportXast app

Capturing the moment By Chris Quintana

Brett Kokinadis, chief operating officer of SportXast, shows off the SportXast app at the startup’s Santa Fe Business Incubator offices last month. How the app, below, works: As the smartphone records a stream of video footage, the user hits the highlight button for a noteworthy moment, and the camera saves the last eight seconds of footage.

The New Mexican

group of Santa Fe developers hopes to strike it big with an app that makes filming sporting events easy for amateur videographers or anyone with a smartphone. Molly Cernicek, company CEO, said users record video using the SportXast app on a smartphone and then can capture notable plays with the press of a button. Cernicek said the app eliminates the need for parsing through rolls of footage and saves hours spent editing clips. “We’re focusing on how we could make amateur athletics more accessible to create media,” Cernicek said. She and her crew solidified the idea for SportXast, the app, in a weekend-long pitch workshop in Santa Fe in early 2013, Cernicek said. The app company won the best-inshow award. It was also there that it found its first angel investor. And it’s where Cernicek and business partner Mark Ortega met Brett Kokinadis, another member of the team. The app is fairly intuitive to use. The home tab leads to a scrolling lists of sport events, which are marked with the type of sport, teams playing and the location. There’s also a date label that lets users search for older content. Browsing on the app reveals a wide range of sports clips — from Santa Fe soccer or a middle-school basketball matches to ice hockey and polo lacrosse on horseback. The app aims to make capturing sports footage easier, a tricky task given the fast pace and unexpected nature of athletic events. A user selects the “new” tab, and they can enter metadata such as the type of the sporting events and where it’s being played. From there, users simply record the game. As the smartphone records a stream of video footage, the user hits the highlight button for a noteworthy

IRS tips for charitable contributions The Internal Revenue Service is reminding individuals and businesses making year-end gifts to charities that several important tax law provisions have taken effect in recent years. Some of the changes taxpayers should keep in mind include: u Household items include furniture, furnishings, electronics, appliances and linens. Clothing and items donated to charities generally must be in good used condition or better to be tax-deductible. A clothing or household item for which a taxpayer claims a deduction of more than $500 does not have to meet this standard if the taxpayer includes a qualified appraisal of the item with the return. u Donors must get a written acknowledgement from the charity for all gifts worth $250 or more. It must include, among other things, a

estaurants might already be seeing a boost in business due to lower gas prices. The National Restaurant Association’s Restaurant Performance Index posted a solid gain in October, up 1.8 percent from September. The index us used by the industry to signify expansion, and any measure over 100 is positive. It now stands at 102.8 — the 20th consecutive month above 100. “The positive Bruce same-store sales Krasnow and customer traffic results suggest Business Matters that restaurants are the beneficiaries of falling gas prices, which were down 88 cents since the end of June,” said Hudson Riehle, senior vice president of the Research and Knowledge Group for the association. “Elevated food costs continue to top the list of challenges reported by restaurant operators, but overall they remain generally optimistic that business conditions will improve in the months ahead.” Another measure by the restaurant industry that looks at same-store sales, traffic, labor and capital expenditures, stood at 103.1 in October — up 2.1 percent from September. “A solid majority of restaurant operators reported higher samestore sales in October, with results an improvement over September’s performance. Seventy-one percent of restaurant operators reported a same-store sales gain between October 2013 and October 2014, up from 63 percent who reported higher sales in August. Meanwhile, only 11 percent of operators reported a same-store sales decline in October, down from 23 percent in September,” according to the industry. The association also said that along with stronger sales and traffic results, restaurant operators reported an increase in capital spending activity. “Fifty-seven percent of operators said they made a capital expenditure for equipment, expansion or remodeling during the last three months, up from 49 percent who reported similarly last month.”

description of the items contributed. u A taxpayer must have a bank record or a written statement from the charity in order to deduct any donation of money, regardless of amount. The record must show the name of the charity and the date and amount of the contribution. Bank records include canceled checks, and bank, credit union and credit card statements. Bank or credit union statements should show the name of the charity, the date and the amount paid. Credit card statements should show the name of the charity, the date and the transaction posting date. Donations of money include those made in cash or by check, electronic funds transfer, credit card and payroll deduction. For payroll deductions, the taxpayer should retain a pay stub, a Form W-2 wage statement or other document furnished by the employer showing the total amount withheld for charity, along with the pledge card showing the name of the charity.

After a recent column about holiday scams, one Santa Fe woman called to say she had been approached after the death of her husband by a telephone scammer. In her case, the caller expressed condolences about his loss, saying he had taken out a small life insurance policy of $40,000 but has missed the last two monthly premium payments. The company was allowing her to pay those now and then would honor the insurance payout. The caller did not believe the pitch and called The New Mexican to warn others about the deceit.

BUSINESS MATTERS

Guest Commentary from President and CEO of the Hobbs Chamber of Commerce, Grant Taylor In light of Republicans capturing control of the state House after 60 years in the minority, Albuquerque Business First’s Dan Mayﬁeld highlighted what policies could have a greater chance of passage in the upcoming legislative session, and high on the list is right-to-work. As of January 1, 2014, 24 states are right-to-work states, wherein labor unions are barred from including union-security clauses in collective bargaining agreements with employers. In the remaining collectivebargaining states, including New Mexico, unions may require all workers covered by the agreement to pay dues or fees to cover the cost of bargaining activities. In other words, workers may be required to join a union as a condition

of their continued employment. Union leaders have long argued that since a union represents all workers, and since all workers of a bargaining unit beneﬁt from collective bargaining, each worker must pay his or her fair share of dues or else unfairly receive a free ride. Like unions, chambers of commerce are member associations. The Internal Revenue Service has described chambers as “direct[ing] their efforts at promoting the common economic interests of all the commercial enterprises in a given … community.” ALL the commercial enterprises in a given community, it said, even the nonmembers – the “free riders,” in union parlance. And the IRS

requires a chamber, as an exempt organization under Section 501(c)(6) of the Internal Revenue Code, to have a “meaningful level” of membership support.

their value and, bottom line, actively selling memberships. Chambers have to prove their worth. How is it fair that unions don’t have to do the same?

But unlike unions, chambers have never guaranteed their income by codifying dues payments from those they represent. In fact, in 1913, when the U.S. Chamber of Commerce sought tax exemption through the forerunner of IRC 501(c)(6), it argued in congressional hearings that when chambers of commerce “succeed in their purposes, they increase the incomes, not of themselves, but of the individuals in their communities, irrespective of membership in the organizations.” But to keep the doors open, chambers must earn that meaningful level of membership support by demonstrating

Today in Hobbs, one in about ﬁve Hobbs-area businesses is a Hobbs Chamber member. While a sampling of businesses reﬂecting the wider business community is passable, it doesn’t take a statistician to know a chamber best represents “all the commercial enterprises” when 100 percent of those businesses are on the membership rolls. Thus, we have articulated the goal to be a “100% Chamber Community” – that the Hobbs Chamber will continuously strive to earn 100 percent of the Hobbs area’s licensed businesses as its members.

RIBBON CUTTINGS

So for now, New Mexico is a “right-to-dues” state for unions, by statute and by contract. I’m envious, because the Hobbs Chamber must live the mantra “evolve or dissolve” every day, because it is no more immune to negative market forces than our member businesses. We chambers are scrapping to remain valuable, viable and sustainable, and it’s a tough environment. Can a city’s commercial body afford to see a community institution like the chamber of commerce dissolve? What to do? For starters, I challenge every New Mexico business owner, executive and manager: Corporate citizenship begins with a membership in the community chamber of commerce. Support the organization that supports you by being a member of the chamber of commerce

of each community in which your business operates. If you’re not sold on moral obligation alone, then let me tell you, ﬁrst among your member beneﬁts is that chamber membership dues, sponsorships and fees paid are tax-deductible business expenses. Some businesses can deduct as much 60 cents of every dollar. So, here’s a challenge to every community chamber of commerce to do the same: let’s compete for bragging rights to see who can come closest to being a “100% Chamber Community” by June 30, 2015. Who’s in?

tiating position: If the vendor corners the local market, he might have the advantage, but if he’s hungry for market share or needs to move inventory, he might offer a great deal. Sometimes the business has more leverage, as when it’s the vendor’s principal customer. Knowing the terms, prices and conditions available from all potential vendors gives a business the facts it needs to press for the best possible arrangement. At the table: Bigger businesses can assign vendor and supplier negotiations to a purchasing manager or team of account managers. The owner of a small business might find herself doing the haggling. Whatever the case, the business negotiator should have a strategy and the confidence to stick to it. A positive way to start the give and take is for each party to express what it likes about the proposal without revealing its fallback position. A business should counter any initial offer with a proposal

that eliminates nonessential features or otherwise improves terms or conditions. The ideal outcome is one that doesn’t force the supplier to reduce product quality, technical support or customer service to protect its own interests. Relationships matter: Vendors are happy to do business with companies that compromise and respect their needs, and they’re likely to reward that treatment at contract renewal time. Goodwill goes a long way in business-to-business dealings, and entrepreneurs who approach vendor negotiations with a long-term perspective can often secure preferential treatment and the kinds of benefits that come with it.

Gas: Holiday outlook good Finances: Revisit budget Continued from Page C-1 uuu

One New Mexico economist is predicting a better holiday season thanks in part to improved employment numbers and lower gas prices. “I expect a solid holiday sales season this year,” Bruce Huhmann, an associate professor of marketing at New Mexico State University’s College of Business, said in a report released by NMSU. Huhmann’s forecast this year for New Mexico is a 2.7 percent increase over 2013 holiday sales. Nationally, he predicts a 3.9 percent increase for fourthquarter retail sales, following increases of 3.5 percent in 2013, 3 percent in 2012 and 4 percent in 2011. Since 2005, Black Friday has been the biggest shopping day of the year. During the long weekend after Thanksgiving Day, retailers typically ring up 9 percent to 10 percent of annual retail sales, Huhmann said. “Holiday sales are important to retailers, as they produce one-third of annual retail industry profits,” Huhmann said. “More than one-fourth of all retail sales occur from October through December. For some retailers, sales during these three months are 40 per-

cent or more of annual sales.” As far as New Mexico goes, Huhmann said the state’s unemployment rate of 6.6 percent is higher than the national rate, but lower gas prices should have a positive impact on spending. Huhmann said a good rule of thumb is that every 1-cent decline in gas prices leads to a $2-per-person increase in total consumer spending and a $4-per-person increase in disposable income for the holiday season. “On average, gasoline prices are 7 percent lower than last year,” he said, “which should boost holiday retail purchases, especially by middle- and lowerincome consumers.” uuu

Santa Fe’s Capital City Cab is battling against the Uber upstart with a new new taxi hailing app for the Android phone. “With this app, one can request a Capital City Cab without ever having to call our dispatch office or wait on hold. It’s available for free,” said Matthew Knowles, president of Capital City Cab, in an email. He said the app is available at the Google Play Store, and the iPhone version should be available in a few weeks. Contact Bruce Krasnow at brucek@ sfnewmexican.com.

Continued from Page C-1 weeks after holiday spending. If you are a W-2 employee, and that is your only source of income, your employer withholds taxes from your paycheck, and you don’t have to worry about this. However, if you are self-employed or have income from freelance work or sources other than a salaried or hourly job, you may need to pay estimated taxes every quarter. Interest income, dividends, stock sales and alimony also fall under the category of income not subject to withholding. The quarterly estimated taxes for Sept. 1 through Dec. 31, 2014, are due on Jan. 15. As you can see, this and many of the yearend checklist items are really geared toward making 2015 go a bit more smoothly. That’s really the “secret” to financial planning. We can’t anticipate every change that will come down the pike, but by being prepared and having a plan, we can often minimize the times of being in crisis mode.

Moment: 3,500 currently using free app Continued from Page C-1 moment, such as a tricky goal, and the camera saves the last eight seconds of footage. The camera then keeps rolling, and the app adds the highlight clip to the event. Users can also opt to record footage without creating an event, which is good for capturing practice sessions or compiling a highlight reel. An iPhone 5c may have enough battery life to last a whole soccer game if the parent films the whole time, but the phone will last longer if the app is used only periodically. The app allows users to skip the requirements of uploading video footage to an editing platform and the time associated with editing footage. And while Cernicek’s team markets the app toward the sporting crowd, it has potential for capturing other time-sensitive events. One user uploaded footage from the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. And it’s easy to imagine shutterbug parents using the app to capture children’s milestones such as a first step or word. The company, like many startups, is located at the Santa Fe Business Incubator, where Cernicek, Kokinadis and Ortega share a tight space. There are more laptops, cellphones and tablets in the room than at a typical Starbucks. It’s a tight fit, but much of the work happens remotely via cloud computing. An average day usually presents a never-ending set of challenges. Ortega, the lead developer, may spend the day creating new features or fixing bugs caused by upgrades. Kokinadis works the marketing end, and he’s responsible for projects such as a slick website or a glossy slide-show presentation to pitch to investors. Cernicek, a former soccer player and coach, leads the organization. She said she had the original idea after work-

ing as a consultant at Los Alamos National Laboratory. She worked on a project retrofitting lab technology for commercial

use, and she discovered an algorithm capable of monitoring, tweaking and analyzing live footage. She and Ortega created their own algorithm, which serves as the basis for the SportXast app. SportXast is available for free from the Apple app store and the Google Play store. And that presents an interesting dilemma for the SportXast crew. Kokinadis said initially, the goal was to create the app and hope that it brought in enough users that it could be sold to a larger company. The other option, he said, was to sell ad space on the app. About 3,500 people currently use the app. But Cernicek said they ultimately abandoned those plans, given the challenge of making an app go viral. Instead, they’re focusing on creating revenue as fast as possible, and they have identified two paths so far. The first requires hiring casters to stream events. The

company would then attempt to sell that footage to a media company, such as a newspaper or TV station, which presents a bit of challenge. The other plan calls for parents using the app to capture footage of their child athletes. The group would then sell the highlights to sports clubs, universities and other organizations looking to recruit young athletes. This plan might be easier, but it again requires plenty of people to download the app. The challenge, Cernicek said, is competing with other smartphone apps such as Facebook or Instagram. But the group is confident they can edge their way into the market. “The biggest competition we have right now is competing for time on a mobile device with the user,” Kokinadis said.
