Indigent health care poised to become hot topic during session Legislative changes likely needed to create replacement for Sole Community Provider program

By Phaedra Haywood The New Mexican

For decades, local hospitals in New Mexico relied heavily on federal funds to cover the cost of providing care to the indigent through a program known as Sole Community Provider.

That program has been eliminated, and what will replace it — and how it will be funded — is an issue that could result in a battle between New Mexico counties and the state Health and Human Services Division in the upcoming legislative session, which begins Jan. 21.

Hospitals around the state, including Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, are closely following the tug of war, which is expected to flare up because legislative changes likely will be needed to arrive at a solution.

New Year’s celebrations in Northern New Mexico go to extremes, might require a little resolve

The New Mexican

ew Year’s celebrations and hangovers are almost synonymous with one another, but there are plenty of activities in Santa Fe to ring in the new year without a ringing headache. For the adventurous, or those with calloused feet, The Light Institute in Galisteo will host a fire-walk, an event where people walk atop hot coals. Gwendolina Feisst, a minister at the Sanctuary of Light Church, is the event’s organizer, and she said most people can walk across the 30-footlong bed of hot coals. “Just allow it to happen,” she said. “The thing is that our bodies know how to do it. It’s our concepts that are in the way.” The event is slated to start at 8 p.m. New Year’s Eve, and Feisst said the fire-walking will begin at midnight. Before that can happen though, Feisst needs to burn nearly a cord of cedar wood, a two-hour process, to prepare the coal bed. Cedar, she said, burns well and makes for nice coals. Participants don’t have to cross the whole 30-foot bed, Feisst said, explaining that some people opt for a step or two, and others are content

just watching the fire-walkers. Feisst, who has taught fire-walking for more than a decade, said she hasn’t seen fire-walkers get serious injuries, but a few people may get small blisters. “We call them kisses from the fire,” she said. The fire-walk costs $100 per person, but group discounts are available. Feisst said those who are interested in the walk should call her at 466-1458 as soon as possible. Snacks and warm drinks will be served, and

Feisst said participants should bring shoes they can slip on and off easily. She also suggested dressing in layers. For the masochists who prefer colder temperatures, there’s the polar bear plunge, an event in which people strip to swimwear and jump into nearly frozen lakes. In New Mexico, Eagle Nest Lake State Park, near Taos, and Storrie Lake State Park, near Las Vegas, usually host polar bear plunges. Due to low water levels at Eagle Nest Lake, however, this year’s plunge has been relocated to Lake

Maloya in Sugarite Canyon State Park, near Raton, according to a news release. That plunge is scheduled for 1 p.m. New Year’s Day and costs $15. The entry fee, the news release said, benefits the Raton Veteran Memorial. A registration form and waiver form are also required, and they can be found at ratonrecreation.com/ events.html. Normal state park fees also apply. The Storrie Lake polar bear plunge starts at noon and is free.

HONOLULU — A December surge propelled health care sign-ups through the government’s rehabilitated website past the 1 million mark, the Obama administration said Sunday, reflecting new vigor for the problem-plagued federal insurance market. Combined with figures for state-run markets due in January, that should put total enrollment in the new private insurance plans under President Barack Obama’s health law at about 2 million people through the end of the year, independent experts said. That would be about two-thirds of the administration’s original goal of signing up 3.3 million by Tuesday, a significant improvement given the technical problems that crippled the federal market during much of the fall. The overall goal remains to enroll 7 million people by March 31.

$0.60 for cake: Al-Qaida records every expense By Rukmini Callimachi

The Associated Press

TIMBUKTU, Mali — The convoy of cars bearing the black al-Qaida flag came at high speed, and the manager of the modest grocery store thought he was about to get robbed. Mohamed Djitteye rushed to lock his till and cowered behind the counter. He was dumbfounded when instead, the al-Qaida commander gently opened the grocery’s glass door and asked for a pot of mustard. Then he asked for a receipt. Confused and scared, Djitteye didn’t understand. So the jihadist repeated his request. Could he please have a receipt for the $1.60 purchase? This transaction in northern Mali shows what might seem an unusual preoccupation for a terror group: AlQaida is obsessed with documenting the most minute expenses. In more than 100 receipts left in a building occupied by al-Qaida in the

The often tiny amounts are carefully written out in pencil and colored pen on scraps of paper and Post-it notes: The equivalent of $1.80 for a bar of soap; $8 for a packet of macaroni; $14 for a tube of super glue. The accounting system on display in the documents found by The Associated Press is a mirror image of what researchers have discovered in other parts of the world where al-Qaida operates, including Afghanistan, Somalia and Iraq. The terror group’s documents around the world also include corporate workshop schedules, salary spreadsheets, philanthropy budgets, job applications, public relations advice and letters from the equivalent of a human resources division.

In brief

Suspect in Colorado triple slaying arrested in Oklahoma

WASHINGTON — A global retirement crisis is bearing down on workers of all ages. Spawned years before the Great Recession and the financial meltdown in 2008, the crisis was significantly worsened by those twin traumas. It will play out for decades, and its consequences will be far-reaching. Many people will be forced to work well past the traditional retirement age of 65 — to 70 or even longer. Living standards will fall, and poverty rates will rise for the elderly in wealthy countries that built safety nets for seniors after World War II. In developing countries, people’s rising expectations will be frustrated if governments can’t afford retirement systems to replace the tradition of children caring for aging parents. The problems are emerging as the generation born after World War II moves into retirement.

PHOENIX — A man suspected in a weeklong bank robbery spree that spanned from Georgia to Arizona and included the shooting death of a Mississippi police officer was arrested in 2010 after making online threats against the president, a Secret Service spokesman said Sunday. Mario Edward Garnett was living in Oklahoma City at the time of the arrest, Secret Service spokesman Max Millien said. He would not say how the case was resolved. Authorities have connected Garnett to a Dec. 23 bank robbery attempt in Atlanta, a bank robbery later that same day in Tupelo, Miss., and the shooting death of one officer and the wounding of another just after the Tupelo robbery. A Phoenix detective shot and killed Garnett just after he robbed a bank Saturday morning. Phoenix police spokesman James Holmes said at a Sunday afternoon news conference that the 40-yearold Garnett was from the Midwest, had served for four years in the U.S. Army and appeared to have no friends or relatives in Arizona.

China bans officials from smoking in public places BEIJING — China is asking its officials to take the lead to adhering to a ban on smoking in public places. The official Xinhua News Agency says officials are not allowed to smoke in schools, hospitals, sports venues or on public transport, or to smoke or offer cigarettes when performing official duties. Xinhua said Sunday the new rules were contained in a circular from the Communist Party’s central committee and the State Council, or China’s Cabinet. China has more than 300 million smokers.

seeking care in the Philippines, says J.J. Reyes, who is planning a retirement community near Manila. Facilities in Thailand also are preparing to attract more Alzheimer’s sufferers. In Chiang Mai, a pleasant city ringed by mountains, Baan Kamlangchay will be followed by a $10 million, holidaylike home scheduled to open before mid-2014. Also on the way is a small Alzheimer’s unit within a retirement community set on the grounds of a former four-star resort. The U.K.-based Alzheimer’s Disease International says there are more than 44 million Alzheimer’s patients globally, and the figure is projected to triple to 135 million by 2050. A number of European countries have generous national health insurance, but these generally do not cover treatment abroad. Kuratli says the Swiss government would cover two-thirds of the bill for his wife’s care if she stays in Switzerland, but since high-end private clinics there can cost $15,000 or more per month, he could still end up paying more there than he would in Thailand. Baan Kamlangchay was established by Martin Woodtli, a Swiss who spent four years in Thailand with the aid group Doctors Without Borders before returning home to care for his Alzheimer’s-diagnosed mother.

In Baan Kamlangchay, patients live in individual houses within a Thai community, are taken to local markets, temples and restaurants, and receive personal, aroundthe-clock care.

BEIRUT — Saudi Arabia has pledged $3 billion to Lebanon to help strengthen the country’s armed forces and purchase weapons from France, Lebanon’s president said Sunday, calling it the biggest grant ever for the nation’s military. President Michel Suleiman, who made the surprise announcement in a televised national address, did not provide any further details. The Lebanese army has struggled to contain a rising tide of violence linked to the civil war in neighboring Syria, a conflict that has inflamed sectarian tensions in Lebanon and threatened the country’s stability. “The Saudi king decided to give a generous, wellappreciated grant to Lebanon amounting to $3 billion for the Lebanese army, which will allow it to buy new and modern weapons,” Suleiman said. “The king pointed out that the weapons will be bought from France quickly, considering the historical relations that tie it to Lebanon and the military cooperation between the two countries.” Suleiman said he hoped Paris would quickly meet the initiative, and help the Lebanese army with arms, training and maintenance. French President François Hollande, who was in Riyadh Sunday for talks with Saudi King Abdullah, said that France would help if requested to do so.

Markin later told Interfax that the attacker could have been a man, but added that the investigation was still ongoing. He said that another hand grenade, which didn’t explode, was also found on the explosion site. Markin argued that security controls prevented a far greater number of casualties at the station, which was packed with people at a time when several trains were delayed. About 40 were hospitalized, many in grave condition. Earlier, Lifenews.ru, a Russian news portal that reportedly has close links to security agencies, even posted what it claimed was an image of the severed head of the female’s attacker. It even said the attacker appeared to have been a woman whose two successive rebel husbands had been killed by Russian security forces in the Caucasus.

The violence was triggered by fighting Dec. 15 between soldiers loyal to President Salva Kiir and those aligned with his deputy, Riek Machar. The next day, Kiir accused Machar of plotting a coup, sparking bloodshed that quickly spread to five of South Sudan’s 10 states, killing hundreds and forcing tens of thousands to flee to U.N. bases in several towns.

Trapped for hours, the group prayed silently for survival. “We were trying to keep the kids quiet,” Bradley Campbell, a missionary from Omaha, Neb., said as he recalled their ordeal Sunday, seated inside a U.N. peacekeeping base not far from their home. “We didn’t want anyone to find us.” Along with thousands of South Sudanese, Campbell and his group are among scores of Americans who have found themselves in peril in the world’s newest nation as violent clashes rage between rival factions of the army. The U.S. government has evacuated more than 400 U.S. officials and private citizens since fighting broke out two weeks ago, a State Department official said. But Campbell and his family and friends, along with the orphans they are caring for, remain in Malakal, inside the base where they found refuge on Christmas night. There was no U.S. evacuation flight Sunday, even though the United Nations considered the situation calm enough to send several planes into Malakal carrying peacekeeping personnel and supplies. “We are looking to do anything we can to get people out of Malakal in a way that’s safe and secure,” the State Department official said. “Our priority is always American citizens.” American officials have refused to say how many more U.S. citizens in South Sudan are awaiting evacuation. At the base in Malakal, U.N. officials said those waiting for a U.S.

flight number about 60, including the Campbells’ group as well as other Americans, Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders. Campbell, 44, is a former visual artist whose submission was among seven finalists for the World Trade Center memorial to honor those killed on Sept. 11, 2001; the competition attracted more than 5,000 entries from 63 nations. In 2005, he gave up his career in New York to become a pastor and eventually traveled to work in sub-Saharan Africa. He and his wife, Kim, along with some of their five children, arrived in South Sudan in March 2012 to work with refugee children for Keeping Hope Alive, a Christian ministry based in Charlotte, N.C.

Female suicide bombers, many of whom were widows or sisters of rebels, have mounted numerous attacks in Russia. They often have been referred to as “black widows.” In October, a female suicide bomber blew herself up on a city bus in Volgograd, killing six people and injuring about 30. Officials said that attacker came from the province of Dagestan, which has become the center of the Islamist insurgency that has spread across the region after two separatist wars in Chechnya. As in Sunday’s blast, her bomb was rigged with shrapnel that caused severe injuries. Chechnya has become more stable under the grip of its Moscow-backed strongman, who incorporated many of the former rebels into his feared security force. But in Dagestan, the province between Chechnya and the Caspian Sea, Islamic insurgents who declared an intention to carve out an Islamic state in the region mount near daily attacks on police and other officials.

Al-Qaida: Group behaves like corporation Continued from Page A-1 Taken together, the evidence suggests that far from being a fly-by-night, fragmented terror organization, al-Qaida is attempting to behave like a multinational corporation, with what amounts to a company-wide financial policy across its different chapters. “They have to have bookkeeping techniques because of the nature of the business they are in,” said Brookings Institution fellow William McCants, a former adviser to the U.S. State Department’s Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism. “They have so few ways to keep control of their operatives, to rein them in and make them do what they are supposed to do. They have to run it like a business.” The picture that emerges from what is one of the largest stashes of al-Qaida documents to be made public shows a rigid bureaucracy, replete with a chief executive, a board of directors and departments such as human resources and public relations. Experts say that each branch of the terror group replicates the same corporate structure, and that this strict blueprint has helped al-Qaida not just to endure but also to spread.

Al-Qaida’s grocery list Among the most revealing documents are the receipts, which offer a granular view of how al-Qaida’s fighters lived every day as well as its larger priorities. “For the smallest thing, they wanted a receipt,” said 31-year-old Djitteye, who runs the Idy Market on the sand-carpeted main boulevard in Timbuktu. “Even for a tin of Nescafé.” An inordinate number of receipts are for groceries, suggesting a diet of macaroni with meat and tomato sauce, as well as large quantities of powdered milk. There are 27 invoices for meat, 13 for tomatoes, 11 for milk, 11 for pasta, seven for onions, and many others for tea, sugar and honey. They record the $0.60 cake one of their fighters ate, and the $1.80 bar of soap another used to wash his hands. They list a broom for $3 and bleach for $3.30. These relatively petty amounts are logged with the same care as the $5,400 advance they gave to one commander, or the $330 they spent to buy 3,300 rounds of ammunition. Keeping close track of expenses is part of al-Qaida’s DNA, say multiple experts, including FBI agents who were assigned to track the terror group in the years just after its founding. This habit, they say, can be traced back more than three decades to when a young Osama bin Laden entered King Abdul Aziz University in Saudi Arabia in 1976 to study economics, and went on to run part of his millionaire father’s construction company. After he was exiled to Sudan in 1992, bin Laden founded what became the country’s largest conglomerate. His companies and their numerous subsidiaries invested in everything from importing trucks to exporting sesame, white corn and watermelons. From the get-go, bin Laden was obsessed with enforcing corporate management techniques on his more than 500 employees, according to al-Qaida expert Lawrence Wright, author of a well-known history of the terror group. Workers had to submit forms in triplicate for even the smallest purchases — the same requirement bin Laden later imposed on the first al-Qaida recruits, he said.

In Afghanistan, detailed accounting records found in an abandoned al-Qaida camp in 2001 included salary lists, stringent documentation on each fighter, job application forms asking for level of education and language skills, as well as notebook after notebook of expenses. In Iraq, U.S. forces recovered entire Excel spreadsheets, detailing salaries for alQaida fighters. “People think that this is done on the back of an envelope. It isn’t,” says Dan Coleman, a former FBI special agent who was in charge of the bin Laden case file from 1996 to 2004. One of the first raids on an al-Qaida safe house was led by Coleman in 1997. Among the dozens of invoices he found inside the operative’s home in Kenya were stacks of gas station receipts, going back eight years.

Terrorist expense reports This detailed accounting system allows al-Qaida to keep track of the significant sums of money involved in feeding, training and recruiting thousands of fighters. It’s also an attempt to keep track of the fighters themselves, who often operate remotely. The majority of the invoices found on a cement floor in a building in Timbuktu are scribbled by hand, on post-it notes, on lined math paper or on the backs of envelopes, as if operatives in the field were using whatever writing surface they could find. Others are typed, sometimes repeating the same items, in what may serve as formal expense reports for their higher-ups. Al-Qaida clearly required such expense reports — in a letter from the stash, middle managers chide a terrorist for not handing his in on time. In informal open-air markets such as those of Timbuktu, vendors didn’t have receipts to hand out. So, traders say, members of al-Qaida came in pairs, one to negotiate the sale, and the other to record prices on a notepad. This practice is reflected in the fact that almost all the receipts are written in Arabic, a language few residents of Timbuktu know how to write. The fighters would ask for a price, and then write it down in their Bloc Note, a notebook brand sold locally, said pharmacist Ibrahim Djitteye. “It surprised me at first,” he said. “But I came to the conclusion that they are here for a very specific mission.... And when you are on assignment, you need to give a report. They have their own higher-ups, who are expecting them to account for what they spent.” The corporate nature of the organization is also on display in the types of activities they funded. For example, two receipts, for $4,000 and $6,800, are listed as funds for “workshops,” another concept borrowed from business. A flier found in another building occupied by their fighters confirms that al-Qaida held the equivalent of corporate training retreats. It lists detailed schedules: Early morning exercise from 5 to 6:30 a.m.; lessons on how to use a GPS from 10 to 10:30 a.m.; arms training from 10:30 a.m. to noon; and various afternoon classes on preaching to other Muslims, nationalism and democracy.

The nuts and bolts of governing A relatively small ratio of the receipts are expense reports for fighters and weapons. One unit presented a politely worded

request for funds, entitled: “The list of names of mujahideen who are asking for clothes and boots to protect themselves from the cold.” Far more deal with the mundane aspects of running a state, such as keeping the lights on. Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb invaded Timbuktu in April 2012, and took over its state-run utilities, paying to have fuel trucked in from neighboring Algeria. One invoice shows they paid $3,720 for 20 barrels of diesel for the city’s power station. There’s also an advance for the prison and a detailed budget for the Islamic Tribunal, where judges were paid $2 per day to hear cases. Along with the nuts and bolts of governing, it’s clear that the fighters were actively trying to woo the population. They set aside money for charity: $4 for medicine “for a Shiite with a sick child,” and $100 in financial aid for a man’s wedding. And they reimbursed residents for damages, such as $50 for structural repairs, with a note that the house in question “was hit by mujahideen cars.” And it’s obvious that the fighters spent a good part of their time proselytizing, with expense reports for trips to distant villages to impart their ultra-strict vision of Islam. One receipt bluntly lists $200 for a “trip for spreading propaganda.” While not overtly explained, the sizable receipts for car repairs suggest regular missions into the desert. The many receipts for oil changes, car batteries, filters and parts indicate the tough terrain battered the fighters’ Toyota Land Cruisers. Finally, the names on the receipts reveal the majority of fighters on the group’s payroll were foreign-born. There’s a $1,000 advance to a man identified as “Talhat the Libyan.” Another is issued to “Tarek the Algerian.” The names furthermore confirm that the top leaders of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb were based in Timbuktu. Among them is Abou Zeid, probably the most feared of al-Qaida’s local commanders who orchestrated the kidnappings of dozens of Westerners until his death this spring. “In the name of Allah, the most merciful,” begins a request for funds dated Dec. 29, 2012, and addressed to Abou Zeid. “We are writing to inform you that we need rockets for our camp — a total of 4 is needed. May God protect you.” The extent of the documentation found here, as well as in the other theaters where al-Qaida operates, does not mean the terror group runs as a well-oiled machine, cautions Jason Burke, author of the book Al-Qaida. “Bureaucracy, as we know, gives senior managers the illusion they are in control of distant subordinates,” Burke said. “But that influence is much, much less than they would like.” Al-Qaida’s accounting practices left a strong impression on at least one person in Timbuktu: Djitteye, the convenience store manager. The al-Qaida commander who came in for mustard was Nabil Alqama, the head of al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb’s “Southern Command.” He became a regular. One day, he asked the store employee to get a receipt book printed so he could provide more official-looking invoices. Djitteye obliged. The green receipt book with neat boxes now sits under his cash register. These days, whenever customers come in, he always asks if they would like a receipt. No one ever does.

Sign-ups: 14 states’ Dec. results still out Continued from Page A-1 “It looks like current enrollment is around 2 million despite all the issues,” said Dan Mendelson, CEO of Avalere Health, a market analysis firm. “It was a very impressive showing for December.” The administration said that of the more than 1.1 million people now enrolled in the federal insurance exchange, nearly 1 million signed up in December. The majority came days before a pre-Christmas deadline for coverage to start in January. Compare that with a paltry 27,000 in October, the federal website’s first, errorprone month. “We experienced a welcome surge in enrollment as millions of Americans seek access to affordable health care coverage,” Marilyn Tavenner, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, said in a blog post announcing the figures. The numbers don’t represent a full accounting for the country. The federal website serves 36 states. Yet to be reported are December results from the 14 states running their

own sites. Overall, states have been signing up more people than the federal government. But most of that has come from high performers such as California, New York, Washington, Kentucky and Connecticut. Some states are still struggling. Still, the end-of-year spike suggests that the federal insurance marketplace is starting to pull its weight. The windfall comes at a critical moment for Obama’s sweeping health care law, which becomes “real” for many Americans on Wednesday as coverage through the insurance exchanges and key patient protections kick in. The administration’s concern now shifts to keeping the momentum going for signups, and heading off problems that could arise when people who’ve already enrolled try to use their new insurance. “They’ve got the front end of the system working really well,” said insurance industry consultant Robert Laszewski. “Now we can move on to the next question: Do people really want to buy this?” He also estimated 2 million will probably be enrolled this year.

The fledgling insurance exchanges are online markets for subsidized private coverage. Obama needs millions of mostly younger, healthy Americans to sign up to keep costs low for everyone. Open enrollment runs until the end of March. For consumers who successfully selected one of the new insurance plans by Dec. 24, coverage should start on New Year’s Day. That’s provided they pay their first month’s premium by the due date, extended until Jan. 10 in most cases. But insurers have complained that another set of technical problems, largely hidden from consumers, has

resulted in the government passing along inaccurate data on enrollees. With a flood of sign-ups that must be processed in just days, it remains unclear whether last-minute enrollees will encounter a seamless experience if they try to use their new benefits come Wednesday. The White House says the error rate has been significantly reduced, but the political fallout from website woes could pale in comparison with the heat that Obama might take if Americans who signed up and paid their premiums arrive at the pharmacy or the emergency room and find there’s no record of their coverage.

Care: State proposal met with opposition Continued from Page A-1 On Friday, New Mexico Hospital Association President Jeff Dye said the issue is at the top of the association’s legislative agenda. “We are trying to get to a solution that everyone can accept and not make it a fight going into the legislative session,” Dye said, adding that 29 of the association’s hospitals in 26 counties around the state will be affected by the change. Since 1993, New Mexico counties have ponied up Sole Community Provider dollars that were leveraged to collect federal matching dollars at a rate of about 3-to-1, meaning every dollar the county contributed to the program resulted in $3 from the federal government. Money collected via the Sole Community Provider program was given to local hospitals to cover the cost of providing care to indigent patients and to bridge the gap between what Medicaid pays hospitals for care, and what the hospitals said it cost them to provide those services. The program was aimed at supporting rural hospitals — those at least 35 miles from a similar facility— and those that provided health care for a great number of indigent patients. Over the years, county governments and hospital administrators have met annually to figure out ways to collect as much from the program as possible. In some cases, hospitals slated to receive Sole Community Provider funds agreed to take on other health services funded by the county in exchange for larger contributions that would be leveraged for the federal money. In 2009, Santa Fe County contributed about $9 million to the local hospital, resulting in a return of about $30 million to Christus St. Vincent. Around that same time, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS, the federal agency that oversees the Sole Community Provider program) reviewed the formula the New Mexico Human Services Department was using to collect the money and found problems, particularly with the quid-pro-quo deals between county governments and hospitals. In 2012, the state Human Services Department was forced to return $7.9 million to the federal agency. CMS had sought a return of $53 million, but the two entities struck a settlement agreement. After that, county funding for the Sole Community Provider program took a dive — Santa Fe County’s contributions dropped to $2 million per year after officials learned that CMS frowned on side deals to increase matching amounts — and began to be more closely tied to actual indigent claims, which County Manger Katherine Miller said are around $6 million a year. In 2012, the state collected about $246 million to support area hospitals through the program, but 2012 also brought disturbing news. Once the state’s formula for calculating eligible matches and expenditures was revised to comply with CMS rules, New Mexico really was only eligible for $69 million in federal funding through the program, about 70 percent less than hospitals had been receiving. To remedy that gap — and as part of its rewrite and renaming of the state Medicaid program, now called Centennial Care — the state Human Services Department negotiated an arrangement with CMS that would eliminate the Sole Community Provider program and replace it with a new one. The proposed new program would have two parts: the Safety Net Care Pool and the Hospital Rate Increase. Under the new guidelines, eligible hospitals — those with less than 200 beds — would receive money allocated from the Safety Net Care Pool, the $69 million in federal matching money New Mexico still qualifies for to offset the cost of indigent care and to make “hospital quality improvements.” Larger hospitals — such as Christus St. Vincent — would see their bottom line supplemented via the Hospital Rate Increase, which would increase the base rate for Medicaid covered services by about $200 million statewide. Counties that had contributed money to collect Sole Community Provider funds under the old program would still be asked to fund these indigent

care costs and rate increases. But under the proposed new scenario, the amounts contributed by individual counties would no longer be directly tied to the amount each county contributed, and county commissioners would no longer be able to make annual decisions about funding. Instead, the state Human Services Department has proposed that the state agency intercept a one-eighth-cent gross receipts tax that counties are authorized to enact to pay for indigent care services (and most already do). Department Deputy Secretary Brent Earnest said the new scenario would result in lesser overall contributions by counties in the long run — because some have historically donated more than the eighth-cent tax generates. And, he said, the new program could provide more transparency because payments would be made based on actual medical claims. But the proposal has not been embraced by county governments for a number of reasons, including the loss of county autonomy, loss of funds for other non-hospital indigent care programs (such as drug and alcohol treatment, ambulance service and indigent burial) and the inequitable distribution of funds. Santa Fe County Health and Human Services director Rachel O’Connor said giving all county money earmarked for indigent care to a hospital is a move in the wrong direction when trends indicate a push toward more primary-care providers and preventative care. The New Mexico Association of Counties passed a resolution opposing the state proposal to redirect the tax money in October. Santa Fe County passed a resolution in opposition Dec. 3. New Mexico Association of Counties President Steven Kopelman said other counties have also come out in opposition to the proposal. The proposal also got a chilly reception from some lawmakers at a Dec. 20 meeting of the Legislative Health and Human Services Committee. Rep. Miguel Garcia, a Bernalillo Democrat, said he would not support any proposal that sought to redirect the tax, and suggested state officials look at reversing personal income and capital gains tax cuts or tapping other programs he characterized as “welfare for the rich” to create a revenue stream for the hospital care. Sen. Nancy Rodriguez, a Santa Fe Democrat, said the proposal was like a “slap in the face” to the county governments that had asked voters to approve the indigent care tax in the first place, telling them it would be used to provide care to residents in that county. Rodriguez suggested the state work with the county governments to come up with another “more reasonable” proposal that allows the counties more say over their contributions, or proposes taking a lesser share of the tax. Miller, county manager in Santa Fe, said counties would be more supportive of a measure that only took half of the revenue generated from the one-eighthcent tax. “And it’s not just about the money,” Miller said. “We need them to change the Indigent Care Act. If they take our funding source, we can’t still be responsible for indigent care claims.” Miller said the counties also want time to see how the Medicaid expansion will effect indigent care claims before committing to an ongoing funding formula. According to Dye, payments associated with these programs are in place through July, but it’s not clear what will happen if an agreement is not reached during the legislative session. “We are going to continue to work with [the counties] and hopefully they will see the value in supporting their community hospitals,” Earnest said Friday. “Unfortunately for everyone, it can’t be the way it was before. But we’ve come forward with the best solution we could find, the best solution there is.” Hopefully county governments will “step up,” Earnest said. “If not, I’m concerned some hospitals will have to reduce services and some have said they would even be in such dire straights that they might have to close.” Contact Phaedra Haywood at 986-3068 or phaywood@ sfnewmexican.com.

summer, said she thinks that it will hurt small businesses in her district. “It’s bad here. Businesses in my district aren’t just hurting, they’re closing,” she said. “I’m very concerned about what will happen in January.” In Rhode Island, workers pay 1.2 percent of the first $61,400 in earnings into the state’s Temporary Disability Insurance to cover off-the-job injury and illness. The new law opens that fund to workers who need to care for a new child or sick family member, and gives them up to four weeks of job-protected leave paid at about 60 percent of their salary, up to a cap of about $750 a week. The California and New Jersey paid family leave programs work much the same way, although the leaves, which are up to six weeks long in both states, are not jobprotected. A majority of nearly 300 California businesses surveyed by a D.C. nonpartisan research center reported in 2011 a positive or neutral effect of paid leave on profits, turnover and productiv-

ity. Ninety-nine percent said it boosted employee morale. And 91 percent found no abuse of the system, which has been a major sticking point for many opponents in the business community. Those that did said it was “rare.” The California paid-leave law passed in one session in 2002, despite fierce lobbying against it by nearly 1,000 businesses. The push for it included not just working mothers but a vocal group of fathers and “sandwich generation” workers, responsible for caring for aging parents. In New Jersey, a coalition of business owners including Herb Greenberg, chief executive of a recruiting company, joined the fight for paid family leave, saying that retaining “top talent” by providing flexibility to handle work and family demands was a “no-brainer.” It is support from businesses that has given the growing grassroots movement steam, advocates say. A recent poll for the Small Business Majority found that two-thirds have formal or informal leave programs and

a plurality support employeefunded paid family leave. Gillibrand said family-friendly policies “not only make for a healthier work environment and more productive employees, but more loyal employees, because they have the flexibility they need to take care of their families.” But the federal Family Act faces steep hurdles in Congress. The FMLA took nearly a decade of often bitter debate before it passed and was signed into law in 1993. Smaller attempts to pass paid leave for federal workers have failed repeatedly in recent years. And opponents in the business community warn against saddling businesses with another government mandate. A March survey by the Labor Department found that voluntary paid leave policies cover about 12 percent of the U.S. workforce. The survey also found that about half of all new mothers take no leave and return immediately to work. And the main reason people don’t use the leave when they need it is because they can’t afford to.

EL NUEVO MEXICANO Maestra, músico y curandera De John Knoll

Para The New Mexican

uando tenía 5 años, Gwen Spatzier se sentó en las escaleras de entrada de su casa en Newark, N.J., con su amiga, Rochelle Gilyard. Ambas amaban la música, y Spatzier, músico en Santa Fe y maestra, tienen memorias entrañables de esos días. “La época en Newark dejó una impresión imborrable en mí. Recuerdo estar bailando twist y otros bailes de la época en la calle. La música estaba en todos lados; había muchísima energía y alegría.” La música era una parte integral de su vida. Formaba parte de su primer grupo cuando tenía sólo 6 y desde entonces, dice ha formado parte de “un millón de bandas,” cubriendo variedad de géneros, incluyendo ranchera, rock n’ roll y blues. En su grupo actual, Girls Night Out, la acompaña Cynthia Becker. Pero son más que sólo un grupo de dos mujeres. El sábado, Girls Night Out se presentaron en el Motown Holiday Show en El Farol. El espectáculo incluyó 10 músicos locales. “Me gusta mostrar al talento local porque crea sentido de comunidad,” comenta. “Es cómo ser un chef que sirve un festín musical.” Después de graduarse de la universidad New Mexico Highlands en 1995 de su maestría en Relaciones Públicas, su meta de servicio fue cumplida con un poco de desilusión después de servir como Director de Desarrollo Económico en la ciudad de Las Vegas, N.M. “Ser servidora pública pensé que podía contribuir a la comunidad,” dice. “Pero me di cuenta que había una herencia de ambición en la política. La política corrompe a la gente que de inicio tenía buenas intenciones. Pero resulta difícil para los políticos mantener su integridad porque hay mucho dinero y poder envueltos en el proceso político.” En 1995, Spatzier dejó Las Vegas para mudarse a Santa Fe, donde encontró su verdadera vocación, educación. Después de obtener su certificación de maestra en el Colegio Comunitario de Santa Fe, enseñó en las escuelas primarias Agua Fría y Atalaya por 10 años. Su cambio del entorno político al educativo, dice, trajo alegría a su vida porque era más gratificante enfocarse en una persona a la vez, en vez de tratar de hacer cambios amplios cambios políticos. Aunque disfruta enseñar, también le es frustrante. Como a muchos maestros, le causa impotencia el enfoque actual en información y exámenes estandarizados de un sistema que sigue igual desde

hace 200 años. “El mundo ha cambiado,” comenta. “En lugar de enfocarse en los números, la enseñanza debería ser en el descubrimiento y el juego. Mis alumnos de tercer grado son extremadamente motivados y curiosos a cerca del mundo. Es difícil ver lo institucionalizado de la educación basado en estadísticas, que es guiado por el financiamiento.” En 2005, se comenzó a cuestionar cosas de la vida, preguntándose si estaba en el camino correcto. Fue a una consejera chamánica, Kay Cordell Whitaker, quien es una chamán en la tradición peruana llamada Katasee y su búsqueda se transformó. “Desde la infancia, tuve experiencias con el mundo espiritual que no podía explicar y eso me asustaba,” dice. “También, la sociedad tiende a pensar de las visiones que ‘son sólo tu imaginación.’ “ Sus sesiones chamánicas con Whitaker la dejaron con el deseo de aprender más, así en el 2005 comenzó a estudiar chamanismo con el deseo de ser una curandera. Siendo músico, se dio cuenta que las metáforas del chamanismo peruano validaban su vida. “Me doy cuenta que los niños han sido programados para usar máscaras. Esta programación hace que los niños olviden su propia canción.” Conforme crecen cominenzan a comunicarse de máscara a

Home sales in Santa Fe rise 23 percent By Bruce Krasnow The New Mexican

he Santa Fe Association of Realtors will announce the details at its media breakfast Jan. 16, but the news is now official: 2012 was the best year for residential home sales since 2007. Alan Ball, an agent with Keller Williams Santa Fe who keeps monthly sales data, reports residential sales hit 1,641 last year — up 23 percent from 2011. But as we’ve reported here all year, that does not mean all is well with the sellers. Due to distressed short sales and foreclosures, the average sales prices dropped 6 percent in 2012 to $421,577. But the year ended with a bang as December saw 150 sales — and the fourth quarter itself saw three strong months in a row, and that despite the fiscal uncertainties coming from Washington, D.C. uuu

His business is hopping

Knowledge about beer-making given and received at Santa Fe Homebrew Supply

By Chris Quintana The New Mexican

ami Nordby doesn’t sell beer — he just sells all the materials a person needs to make it at Santa Fe Homebrew Supply. Nordby stocks wine-making, beercrafting and cheese-curdling materials, though the majority of his business comes from brewers. To that end, he stocks supplies for extract brewing, which he said can be easier but costs more on the ingredients end, and for all-grain-brewing, a more time-intensive process. He said that in the past, beermakers made up 85 percent of his total sales, though he said the recent crop of fruit in the state has sent more winemakers his way. And while he doesn’t have a product he’d call his best-seller, he said he does sell a lot of brewing starter kits and recipe packs that include every ingredient needed for a single batch. To that end, he can also help brewers come up with new recipes or order speciality items. “There are so many directions people can go,” Nordby said at his shop on Thursday. “Imagination is the only limit.” Nordby’s shop is split roughly into two sections: equipment in the storefront and ingredients in the back. In the front, giant glass containers rest on shelves alongside powdered chemicals. Smaller items such as spigots, beer caps and yeast line the smaller shelves. It’s the back of the shop that feels

more like a brewery. Three-foot-tall plastic containers house both local and international grain for all-grain brewing, and a couple of freezers hold several varieties of green and earthy-smelling hops, another common ingredient in beer making. Nordby can tell which grain will create a chocolate porter or which hops will make a beer more bitter with an ease that comes from years of familiarity with his craft. But it wasn’t always that way for him. The shop was a gamble, Nordby said, especially given that he didn’t have a lot of brewing experience when he began the venture. Nordby said that he had a passion for the craft, but he did it on a small level

— he used to brew in his apartment. But about five years ago, he said, he noticed Santa Fe didn’t have a local brew supply store, so he and a couple of friends financed the store. “We just didn’t know any better,” he said. Part of his success came from an advertising campaign that consumed about 25 percent of his initial budget. From there, people started talking about the shop, which he said kept him in business. His wife also had another child during that five-year period, so he hired some part-time help to keep the doors open during times when he was away. But because the store earnings went to employees, Nordby said, his

inventory declined. He is back at work full time now, and Nordby said he’s working on replenishing his once-expansive stock. In the five years since he started, Nordby said that he’s learned a lot from customers who were experienced brewers, and now he can offer that accumulated knowledge to newbies. John Rowley said he is one of the customers who has benefited from Nordby’s knowledge. “He was a great resource for sure,” Rowley said. “He knows a lot, and he wants to help.” Rowely also is president of the Sangre de Cristo Craft Brewers, a group that Rowley said frequents Homebrew. And though it’s located on the south side of town, Santa Fe Homebrew Supply is still the closet supply store for small brewers in Santa Fe, Rowley said. Before Nordby set up shop in 2007, Santa Fe brewers drove to Albuquerque or farther for supplies. Rowley said that while stores in Albuquerque might have more esoteric supplies, he prefers to avoid the trip and support local business. Rowley also said he recommends Nordby’s store to new brewers. “We got a great thing going here; it’s a really supportive shop,” Rowley said. “I wouldn’t go to Albuquerque unless you absolutely have to. It’s almost too much, and it can be intimidating for a new brewer.” Contact Chris Quintana at cquintana@sfnewmexican.com.

The restoration project at La Fonda is well under way, and one of the challenges for Jennifer Kimball and her managers is to phase the project so it doesn’t impact visitors. To accomplish that, contractors try to start work at 9 a.m. on the first 100 rooms now under construction. As those rooms come back on line in April or May, the renovation moves to the next 80 rooms with the goal of having all the rooms completely modernized and ungraded by Indian Market weekend. Kimball is also proud that all of the 220 workers will remain employed during the nine-month project and that vacancy rates have not been impacted. Because of the lower supply of rooms, occupancy is close to 100 percent — of course, the $89 a night special La Fonda is offering during the remodeling doesn’t hurt with bargainconscious travelers. Majority ownership in La Fonda still rests with the four daughters of the late Sam and Ethel Ballen — Lois, Penina, Lenore and Marta Ballen. uuu

The National Association of the Remodeling industry’s fourth-quarter Remodeling Business Pulse data of current and future remodeling business conditions has experienced significant growth across all indicators, with forecasting in the next three months hitting its all-time highest level. The significantly positive results have a lot to do with homeowner security, remodelers say. “Remodelers are indicating major growth in the future, with many saying that clients are feeling more stable in their financial future and their employment situations; therefore, they are spending more freely on remodeling needs,” says Tom O’Grady, association chairman and a builder in Drexel Hill, Pa. Growth indicators in the last quarter of 2012 are as follows: u Current business conditions up 2.1 percent since last quarter u Number of inquiries up 3.9 percent since last quarter u Requests for bids up 3.7 percent since last quarter u Conversion of bids to jobs up 3.5 percent since last quarter u Value of jobs sold is up 4.3 percent since last quarter Still, according to the data, expectations for 2013 are even brighter. Two-thirds of remodelers forecasted the next three months positively, and the rating jumped 13.1 percent from last quarter. Drivers of this positive outlook continue to be postponement of projects (81 percent reporting) and the improvement of home prices (51 percent reporting). “Now that the election is over, consumer confidence is starting to grow and so has remodelers’ confidence,” O’Grady says. “NARI members are looking forward to having a well-deserved, productive year

Sparzier dice que su filosofía es que el cambio es lo único constante en su vida y todos estamos en la búsqueda de encontrar nuestro propósito en la Tierra. “Encuentro más felicidad en mi vida actual,” dice. “Dejé de enseñar en las primarias para enseñar ahora ESL (inglés como segundo idioma) y habilidades básicas en educación en el

Su sueño ahora la enfrenta con uno de sus mayores miedos, el ser solista. Con la ayuda de Tanya Taylor, está trabajando en su espectáculo como solista llamado Un Salto de Fe, que incluye canciones e historias. “Mi llamado es traer belleza y alegría al mundo,” comenta, “por eso enseño, toco música y hago sanación chamánica.”

l día después de la Feast of The Three Kings, Grama Cuca estaba putting away las littles statues of Los Tres Reyes that she had on display en su living room. Grampo Caralampio and Canutito estaban watcheándola trabajar as they sat en el sofás next to the fireplace warming themselves cerca de la lumbrita. “I could never understand por qué anyone would put up estatuas de los Tres Reyes Malos,” grampo stated. “Why are they called Larry Torres ‘Los Tres Growing up Reyes Malos’, Spanglish grampo?” Canutito asked him. “Yo creyo que it was probably porque they were como los original Three Stooges,” grampo dijo thoughtfully. “Yo creyo que they were el Moe, Larry y Curly de su own tiempo. And they were probablemente called ‘Malos’ porque they were bien mean como el King Herod.” “No they weren’t!” Grama Cuca screeched from cerca del pino where she was taking down las decoraciones. “They weren’t called ‘Los Tres Reyes Malos.’ They were called ‘Los Tres Reyes Magos!’ ‘Magos’ were ‘wise men’ en los tiempos de la Biblia. Y no se llamaban ‘Moe, Larry y Curly,’ ” grama continuó. “Their names eran ‘Caspar, Melcor y Baltazar.’ ” “Those are nombres muy interesantes para los ‘Three Wise Guys,’ ” grampo said. “Men! Wise Men!” grama yelled at grampo. “No eran Wise Guys! ‘Wise Guys’ son personas como tú who always hacen distort la verdad.” “Gee, grama,” Canutito said slowly, “Por qué se llamaban Los Three Wise Men nombres como Caspar, Melcor y Baltazar?” “It is probablemente porque en los olden days, la gente didn’t know sus nombres. Pero at the start del año they would see a sus vecinos escribiendo las initials C+M+B above their puertas at the start of el Año Nuevo. “I thought que las iniciales C+M+B meant ‘Carlos plus María, equals Besos,’ ” grampo said. “And you were probably not el único who thought eso,” said Grama Cuca, “porque la gente can be so necia sometimes. In fact the initials C+M+B hacen stand for the words ‘Christe, Mansionem Benedicat’,” she said. “That is Latin por ‘Christ, Bless this House,’ ” concluyó. “Oh, I get it!” Canutito squealed. “People thought que the initials were the first letters de los nombres de los Reyes.” “Entonces, if you are so smartota,” grampo said to grama, “Tell me, ¿por qué es que los Tres Reyes Magos all look so different? I thought que suponían ser brothers de la misma familia.” “Wrong!” said grama. “Es porque son de different partes del mundo,” Grama Cuca replied. “El que usa una crown representa al continente de Europe. El que es negro, representa al continente de África. El que tiene un turban en la cabeza hace represent a Asia.” “Pero grama,” Canutito said to her. “Hay seven continents en el mundo.” “Sí,” Grama Cuca agreed, “pero cuando el First Christmas took place, people only knew about de tres de ellos. Todavía no habían hecho discover a los otros.” “Yes,” said grampo. “If they had discovered a los otros continentes, entonces los four others would have had Latin nombres como ‘United Statesus, Argentinus, Australicus y Anctarticus.” “Wow, grampo,” Canutito exclaimed. “I didn’t know que you knew Latín también. You are all smartote just like grama.” “Smart ass es more like it,” Grama Cuca mumbled solita …

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. f you are on the road and want to watch live TV and recorded shows on your phone or tablet, there aren’t many easy options. Although services such as Hulu let you watch television shows over the Internet, new episodes aren’t typically available until the day after they air. Your cable or satellite TV provider may offer apps for watching, but the channels offered vary from provider to provider, and trying to figure out what’s available when or where can be frustrating. Instead, you can buy a gadget that gives you more flexibility and certainty. You can also subscribe to an online service called Aereo if you mostly watch over-the-air television and live in one of the markets it serves. Here are a few options for TV on the go: Slingbox (starts at $180; apps for Apple, Android and Windows phones and tablets are $15 each, free on personal computers): Video cassette recorders and digital video recorders give us the gift of time shifting. Rather than watching a show when it airs, you can view it at a later time of your choosing. The Slingbox introduces us to place shifting. You watch a given show at a place of your choosing. With the Slingbox, you can even combine the two: Watch a recorded show from a computer, phone or tablet anywhere in the world through an app called SlingPlayer. I did just that while stuck in traffic in Birmingham, Ala., earlier this year. I was in the back seat and squeezed in an episode of a Showtime series by Oliver Stone. I watched a PBS documentary in my Montgomery hotel room and another while waiting for friends at a bar in New York. Thank you, unlimited cellular data plan. Each Slingbox is attached to an account, so you can’t access a stranger’s Slingbox in London to watch BBC, for instance. But you can watch shows on your box while in London. As long as it’s a show you can watch at home on the TV, live or recorded, you can usually watch it remotely through Slingbox. Some highdefinition programs are blocked by the content provider, but a lower-quality version is often available with the right cables. The SlingPlayer apps have on-screen remotes to change channels or navigate a DVR’s menu. Unfortunately, the remotes are particularly cumbersome on phones and take getting used to. Another drawback: Because the Slingbox mirrors the TV feed, someone at home can’t watch a different show from what you’re watching on the road. That person would need to find another TV, connect a separate set-top box or watch with you. You can really spook someone changing channels from afar. The Slingbox is the most versatile of the three offerings I reviewed. It’s also the only one to allow playback

in slow motion. But it’s clunky at times. After hitting the on-screen remote, there’s a noticeable lag before the channel actually changes. It’s OK if you’re watching a show straight through, but if you do a lot of rewinding and forwarding, you spend too much time waiting for the Slingbox to respond. The Slingbox 350 sells for $180. The $300 Slingbox 500 lets you bypass a wired Internet connection and use Wi-Fi instead. It also has HDMI connectors and the ability to project videos and photos from your phone to the big screen.

NEW YORK — Mix blatant bigotry with poor spelling. Add a dash of ALL CAPS. Top it off with a violent threat. And there you have it: A recipe for the worst of online comments, scourge of the Internet. Blame anonymity, blame politicians, blame human nature. But a growing number of websites are reining in the Wild West of online commentary. Companies including Google and the Huffington Post are trying everything from deploying moderators to forcing people to use their real names in order to restore civil discourse. Some sites, such as Popular Science, are banning comments altogether. The efforts put sites in a delicate position. User comments add a lively, fresh feel to videos, stories and music. And, of course, the longer visitors stay to read the posts, and the more they come back, the more a site can charge for advertising. What websites don’t want is the kind of off-putting nastiness that spewed forth under a recent CNN.com article about the Affordable Care Act. “If it were up to me, you progressive libs destroying this country would be hanging from the gallows for treason. People are awakening though. If I were you, I’d be very afraid,” wrote someone using the name “JBlaze.” YouTube, which is owned by Google, has long been home to some of the Internet’s most juvenile and grammatically incorrect comments. The site caused a stir last month when it began requiring people to log into Google Plus to write a comment. Besides herding users to Google’s unified network, the company says the move is designed to raise the level of discourse in the conversations that play out under YouTube videos. One such video, a Cheerios commercial featuring an interracial family, met with such a barrage of racist responses on YouTube in May that General Mills shut down comments on it altogether. “Starting this week, when you’re watching a video on YouTube, you’ll see comments sorted by people you care about first,” wrote YouTube product manager Nundu Janakiram and principal engineer Yonatan Zunger in a blog post announcing the changes. “If you post videos on your channel, you also have more tools to moderate welcome and unwelcome conversations. This way, YouTube comments will become conversations that matter to you.” Anonymity has always been a major appeal of online life. Two decades ago, The New Yorker magazine ran a cartoon with a dog sitting in front of a computer, one paw on the keyboard. The caption read: “On the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog.” At its best, anonymity allows people to speak freely without repercussions. It allows whistle blowers and protesters to espouse unpopular opinions. At its worst, it allows people to spout off without repercussions. It gives trolls and bullies license to pick arguments, threaten and abuse. But anonymity has been eroding in recent years. On the Internet, many people may know not only your name, but also your latest musings, the songs you’ve listened to, your job history, who your friends are and even the brand of soap you prefer. “It’s not so much that our offline lives are going online, it’s that our offline and online lives are more integrated,” says Mark Lashley, a professor of communications at La Salle University in Philadelphia. Facebook, which requires people to use their real names, played a big part in the seismic shift. “The way the Web was developed, it was unique in that the avatar and the handle were always these things people used to go by. It did develop into a Wild West situation,” he says, adding that it’s no surprise that Google and other companies are going this route. “As more people go online and we put more of our lives online, we should be held accountable for things we say.” Nearly three-quarters of teens and young adults think people are more likely to use discriminatory language online or in text messages than in face-to-face conversations, according to a recent poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and MTV. The poll didn’t distinguish between anonymous comments and those with real identities attached. Huffington Post is also clamping down on vicious comments. In addition to employing 40 human moderators who sift through readers’ posts for racism, homophobia, hate speech and the like, the AOL-owned news site is also chipping away at anonymous commenting. Previously, anyone could respond to an article posted on the site by creating an account, without tying it to an email address. This fall, HuffPo began requiring people to verify their identity by connecting their accounts to an email address.

Home-school mom needs teacher break

FAMILY Playing field shifts in ‘game of school’ Movement puts less emphasis on homework, more focus on mastery

help them master a subject. There are no zeros. Moreover, students can redo assignments multiple times and even retake tests. New approaches to traditional grading have picked up steam in the last 15 years, an era of accountability on teachers and schools that has more recently focused on individual student growth in learning. Schools also have a new set of standards to measure that growth by. In the last few years, nearly all states also have adopted the Common Core, an outline of what a child should know and be able to do in each grade. Such a shift has introduced discrepancies like the one at Lincoln Elementary, with results of standardized testing seeming to be at odds with how student performance is reflected in report cards. That has led educators to question what the grades they gave were really saying about what a student knew. And there are other troubling discrepancies, such as straight-A students in high school not performing as well on the ACT, or being forced to take remedial courses in college. Nationally, only 26 percent of high school seniors met college benchmarks in four subjects this year, according to ACT data. “High school is free; if you fail in college, you have to pay,” says Ken O’Connor, a former teacher turned author and consultant known as The Grade Doctor. “We don’t do kids any favors when we inflate their grades because at some point, they are going to fall on their face.” At the heart of standards-based grading is the thought that students should be awarded grades for demonstrating they have mastered a subject — not for the work they completed along the way.

By Jessica Bock

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

ST. LOUIS — The proud parents who attended Lincoln Elementary’s honor roll assemblies years ago assumed the school was a shining example of academic achievement. Kids by the dozens lined up to be celebrated for earning grades that put them on the honor roll. Then the school in St. Charles got state test results. Most of the students failed, casting doubt on the school’s success and challenging the validity of many of its students’ glowing report cards. Administrators knew they had a problem. What they did next upended everything parents, teachers and students thought they knew about grading. St. Charles joined a national movement that — sometimes amid a formidable backlash — is rebuilding how a child’s performance in a class or course is calculated. It’s a switch that seeks to move away from rewarding students merely for completing work, and instead bases grades on mastery of a subject. Swept away are points for finished homework assignments, or good behavior and class participation. Instead, grades are more heavily based on exam results and the quality of work. “There are kids that are good at playing the game of school,” said Julie Williams, principal of Lincoln Elementary, which began to overhaul grading along with other St. Charles elementary schools in 2008.

“If you don’t ever do well on tests, but you raise your hand every time, those kids can score well in the traditional system. But when they are tested on a state tests, it exposes the weaknesses.” St. Louis-area school districts such as Rockwood, Parkway and Pattonville also have tried new ways of looking at grades. Each district varies in its use and how widespread the concept is, but the ideas have all evolved from what’s called standards-based grading. And some of those details have sparked opposition. Critics say the approach may sound good as a concept. Who doesn’t think grades should be based on what kids are actually learning? But what that means in the classroom or at home is another matter, they say. Take, for example, the de-emphasis of homework in a student’s final grade for a subject. Under standards-based grading, students face no penalty — pointwise — for failing to turn in homework. Instead, homework is viewed as simply a tool to

Question: I home-school my two children, ages 7 and 9. The school day lasts from 8:30 in the morning until 2 o’clock in the afternoon, after which they usually do homework for an hour or two. During homework time, they are constantly coming to me, asking me to go over material we’ve already covered during school. This is preventing me from getting my own work done. I find myself being frequently interrupted and have to admit I’ve lost it on a couple of occasions. What should I do? Answer: You should tell your children that after 2 o’clock in the afternoon you are no longer their teacher — you’re their mother and you don’t intend to re-teach material you taught during school. John Look at it this way: If they were attendRosemond ing “regular” school they wouldn’t have Living With access to their teacher after school Children hours. Likewise, in your home-schooling situation, they shouldn’t be able to have “teacher” on demand after school hours. As things stands, they don’t have to give you their full attention during the school day. Furthermore, you’ve given them permission to come to you any time they experience the slightest amount of frustration concerning homework. That circumvents the development of perseverance, which, as you will recall, is one of Homework’s Seven Hidden Values. This is a mother-child boundaries issue, as are most contemporary parenting issues. Instead of you being in control of whether, at any given time, you are in the role of mother or teacher, you’re allowing your children to make that determination. In any relationship, clearly defined boundaries are essential to mutual respect. The solution to this problem is for you to establish clear definitions of what your children can and cannot expect from Mom after school. Begin by limiting the number of school-related questions you will answer after 2 o’clock to two per child. Tell them that after they’ve finished as much of their homework as they can, each of them can bring you two questions, but that you’ll spend no more than a total of 10 minutes per child answering them. After the 10 minutes, they’re on their own. I guarantee that if you enforce this dispassionately, your kids will (a) begin to pay better attention during school hours and (b) eventually all but stop asking after-school questions. And you’ll be able to get your Mom-work done. Independence in a parent-child relationship is always a mutual thing.

Connect the dots to draw a snowy owl in flight.

27 29

The snowy owl is one of the largest owls, with a height of about 27 inches (69 cm) and a wingspan of up to 60 inches (152 cm). Wingspan is the measurement from wing tip to wing tip, when the wings are fully stretched.

Many animals can blend into their environment. This is called camouflage. There are few trees on the tundra, so the snowy owl’s white plumage blends with the snowy world of the northern arctic. In the spring, when the snowy owl makes a nest, the snow has started to melt and the brown earth shows through patches of white snow. The female snowy owl’s soft white feathers are streaked with brown so she cannot be seen as she nests on the ground.

The snowy owls need to eat a huge amount each day – enough to equal their own body weight. They don’t chew their food – they just swallow their prey whole, including fur, claws, teeth and bones. Then they spit out a pellet of all the parts they can’t digest. What silly things can you find on this owlʼs dinner plate? Standards Link: Life Science: Animals need food for survival and have physical structures to help them survive.

Baby owls are called owlets. Can you help the mother owl find her way home to her owlets? All owls have excellent sight so that they can spot creatures like mice that run fast along the ground. Owls’ eyes are not the same as human eyes. We move our eyes in their sockets to see from side to side. The owl must turn his head to see in different directions. Owls also have a third eyelid, which protects the eye. It is a milky white eyelid that comes up from the bottom of the eye. Its purpose is to clean and refresh the owl’s eyes. This third eyelid is called a nictitating membrane. Standards Link: Life Science: Adaptations in physical structures improve an animalʼs chance for survival.

New Mexico launches ‘designated caregiver’ campaign New Mexico health officials say the risks of unexpected infant deaths can be higher during the New Year’s holiday, so the Department of Health is urging parents to pick a “designated caregiver” for their babies. The department is pointing

to a national study that found designating a caregiver may be just as important as picking a designated driver. Researchers at the University of California found alcohol was a risk factor for sudden infant deaths, and that excessive drink-

ing significantly impairs parental decision-making. Health officials say there were 86 sudden infant deaths in New Mexico from 2009 to 2012 — an average of one every 13 days. The Associated Press

Jobless left out in cold for New Year

ongressional Republicans returned home for the holidays with empty stockings for constituents suffering through long-term unemployment, after the GOP repeatedly blocked renewal of the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation fund. Now a new survey shows their stinginess could create a significant backlash at the polls next year — including from some Republican voters. Public Policy Polling took a look at four Republicanoccupied swing districts in the House, as well as that of House Speaker John Boehner. Bipartisan majorities of voters in each district supported extending long-term unemployment benefits: In Rep. Gary Miller’s California district, 68 percent of voters want the benefits continued and 28 percent support ending them. Republicans support an extension, 54 percent to 41 percent. In Rep. Mike Coffman’s Colorado district, 63 percent of voters want the benefits extended, with a narrow plurality of Republicans (48 percent) in favor. Rep. Dan Benishek will face voters in Michigan who heavily support (66 percent) an extension, including 60 percent of Republicans. In Rep. Rodney Davis’ district in Illinois, 66 percent favor of extending benefits, with 53 percent of Republicans in favor. Even Boehner’s home district exhibits similar views:

OUR VIEW

Cheap clothing has high cost

T Sixty-three percent of voters want the fund extended and 34 percent do not, including a majority (52 percent) of Republican voters. A common rejoinder to such polling data is that voters might not prioritize the issue when casting a ballot next fall — but PPP also asked if a failure to extend longterm unemployment benefits would make voters less likely to re-elect the incumbent. In each district, the answer was yes. The liberal group Americans United for Change commissioned the poll, which is

part of a wider strategy by Democrats and progressives to push Republicans into renewing the benefits as soon as Congress returns next year. Poll results such as these, along with increasingly brutal local media coverage, must be worrisome to Republican strategists. They reinforce several major negative perceptions about congressional Republicans: that they are pervasively obstructionist, that they have little concern for struggling Americans and that they have allowed ideology to hamper the economic recovery.

(A failure to renew the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program would cost 240,000 jobs, according to a White House report.) That’s the message progressives will be hammering home over the holiday break, especially when benefits for the long-term unemployed stop three days after Christmas. This commentary, a special to The Washington Post, was excerpted from washingtonpost.com/blogs/ plum-line.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Amtrak loss would be a step backward

his New Mexico portion of the Amtrak line offers a historic view of what remains of the Wild West. Along the route, national park volunteers present historic narrative descriptions of our area, pointing out important happenings and locations. Many communities benefit from this important stretch. Travel via train reminds me of my husband and I driving across America, avoiding freeways as much as possible. Travel by train offers even more of America — its beauty, wildlife and the evidence of the historic Santa Fe Trail — all in comfort. Delays on a train don’t compare to the frequent misery of airport travel. On trains, passengers are comfortable, fed and courteously served. Santa Fe, the state capital, no longer has a Greyhound bus to board, and air travel is sparse. Contact your congressman and Gov. Susana Martinez to wake them up to the threat of losing our train service. Call anyone who could possibly prevent this backward step from happening. Conchita Lopez

Disrupting the balance Thank you so much for your great article on the shooting derby (“Idaho wolfshooting derby draws protest,” Dec. 22). I was relieved to read that there is a great deal of public outrage. Not only is the idea cruel and inhumane, it is a crime against nature. The wolf is a keystone species, crucial to the natural balance. As a concerned citizen and priest, I firmly believe we have the responsibility to care for our natural world, including these magnificent endangered species. Carol Calvert

Establishing standards Expanding clean energy resources is one of the best ways to combat climate change. That’s why Sen. Tom Udall and Rep. Ben Ray Luján deserve praise for leading on legislation to establish the first national renewable electricity standard.

Renewable electricity standards ensure that utilities provide a substantial percentage of their electricity from solar, wind and other renewable sources. These standards are already working in 29 states, including here in the great state of New Mexico. Studies show that a national standard would create hundreds of thousands of jobs, save consumers billions of dollars on their utility bills and generate billions of dollars in new revenue for local communities — all while reducing harmful carbon pollution. Sen. Udall and Rep. Luján clearly understand the benefits of a clean energy economy. Congress should follow New Mexico’s lead and establish a national renewable electricity standard. Demis Foster

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Dec. 30, 1913: Trinidad, Colo. — Following the discovery of a case of smallpox in the striker’s tent colony at Ludlow yesterday, General John Chase has issued orders that every resident of the camp be vaccinated at once. The task was begun this morning by physicians of the miners’ union, under direction of Major W.R. Jolly of the hospital corps. There has been no spread of the disease in the military camp at Aguilar, where three cases developed. Dec. 30, 1963: Washington — One out of four wives in New Mexico is employed in addition to being a housewife, accord-

ing to the Population Reference bureau. The bureau said there are approximately 221,950 family units in the state, and the average annual income per family as of mid-1963 was $5,371. Nationally, a family averages $5,660 annually. The bureau estimated New Mexico’s population at 1,018,000. Dec. 30, 1988: About 15 shoppers and employees at The Food Emporium were treated at St. Vincent Hospital on Thursday night after a bottle of phenol, a toxic liquid, fell from a shelf and spilled in the store pharmacy. The evacuated victims were treated for burns and exposure to

toxic fumes. Members of the city Hazardous Materials Response Team used catbox litter to absorb the spilled chemical and placed the used litter in a steel and plastic drum while the response team waited for advice on its disposal. Nearly half an hour later, firefighters in breathing gear ordered everyone out of the store and off the parking lot of the store. Two employees who asked not to be identified said they overheard a firefighter tell two managers, “I can’t believe you didn’t evacuate the store.” The employees said they had been ordered not to talk to the press. A store manager declined to speak with The New Mexican or give his name.

he United States government is wasting its purchasing clout by spending more than $1.5 billion a year on clothing overseas without trying to improve factory conditions. A recent New York Times report details how the government, while urging private businesses to use their buying power to push for better conditions at overseas factories, is failing to follow its own suggestions. The government buys everything from shirts worn by airport security workers to forest ranger button-downs to camouflage pants sold to troops from overseas manufacturers. Turns out, the U.S. government is one of the larger purchasers of clothing in the world, which means that the threat of holding back dollars could improve working conditions. The United States must do more than shop for the cheapest garment. The Times articles reveal a pattern of U.S. suppliers purchasing from companies in countries where harsh working conditions are commonplace. The companies, whether in Bangladesh, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico, Pakistan or Vietnam, often do the following: padlock fire exits, falsify wage records and place workers in buildings at risk of collapse. The hypocrisy of the government calling for purchasers to use their dollars to change conditions on the ground, but failing to do so itself, is troubling. Just as troubling are the millions of dollars being spent elsewhere that could be spent at home, in factories where workers are paid a decent wage and aren’t laboring in sweat shops. Because of the pressure to save costs, especially on military uniforms, clothing made in the United States and purchased by the government often is made by prison labor. It seems clear that a more strategic Congress would use any requirement to buy uniforms in the United States as a means of shoring up what remains of domestic clothing manufacturing industry. Instead the U.S. does little more than shop for the cheapest price. As with any government policy, it’s complicated. President Barack Obama and his administration have pushed for trade agreements that spark development in Third World countries by creating low-skill jobs, including those in the garment industry. Companies move from country to country, seeking the lowest wages and the cheapest manufacturing costs. Consumers — including the government — benefit from cheaper prices. But we have to ask, at what cost to the human beings trapped in sweatshops and to our own domestic economy? Making the situation even less transparent is the complex supply chain — government agencies don’t buy from a factory. Instead, contractors purchase the clothes, muddying the waters so that it can be difficult to determine whether clothes are made under inhumane conditions. The U.S. government, trying to save money, ends up rewarding the very companies whose business practices it wants to change. Conditions described in the articles should give all of us pause — beatings, the docking of wages, buildings with rain pouring through the roof, seamstresses with hands punctured by needles because of a need for speed and torture of labor advocates trying to improve conditions. Low cost comes at too high a price. The United States must stop going for the cheapest deal and work to buy clothes made at home whenever possible, and not just by prisoners. When that isn’t possible — and in a global marketplace it often won’t be — we must do a better job of making sure that whatever purchases the government makes with taxpayer dollars are not made by people who suffer every day they go to work. Citizens must demand better policy, and that includes government workers who have to wear the uniforms or clothing. Unions that represent federal workers also must lobby for changes in current policy. It took the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory blaze of 1911 to awaken the United States to sweatshop conditions in New York City; 146 workers, most of whom were young women, died in the fire. Similar fires have occurred in China and Bangladesh in recent years. We have yet to see drastic improvements. The United States government could, through its spending, improve the lives of workers around the world.

WARSAW, Poland — Wojciech Kilar, a Polish pianist and composer of classical music and scores for many films, including Roman Polanski’s Oscar-winning The Pianist and Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, died Sunday. He was 81. The composer died in his hometown of Katowice, southern Poland, following a long illness, according to Jerzy Kornowicz, head of the Association of Polish Composers. “The power and the message of his music, as well as the noble character of Wojciech Kilar as a person, will stay in my memory forever,” Kornowicz said. Polish film director Kazimierz Kutz said working with the composer “was pure pleasure. He would come, see my movie and a month later he would bring extremely good music that was always beyond my expectations.” Polish Conductor Antoni Wit praised Kilar’s generosity, saying he “liked to share whatever he had with others.” A modest man who often avoided public attention, Kilar’s main love was composing symphonies and concertos, and he always put that above movies, even though he wrote the scores of dozens of films. He drew inspiration from Polish folk music and religious prayers and hymns, which he had learned in Latin as an altar boy. But it was film music, especially for Coppola’s 1992 erotic horror movie, that brought this prolific vanguard composer to the world’s attention and commissions from other celebrity directors, including Jane Campion and her Portrait of a Lady. Kilar once said the three criteria that made him write film music were, in this order: the name of the director, the salary and the script. In a 2007 interview with PLUS, a journal about Polish-American affairs, he recalled asking Coppola in Los Angeles what kind of music he was expecting, and the director replied: “I did my part. You are the composer. Do what you want.” Kilar’s dedication to composing primarily for the concert halls even led him to lose a commission to write the score for Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. “In a movie, music is just one of the many elements,” Kilar once said. “Serious music, which I compose, is signed with my name only, and I get real pleasure from that.” Kilar wrote music for more than 130 movies in Poland and abroad, but Dracula won him the Best Score Composer award from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers in 1992. His dense, broad and heart-swelling music is very evocative and seems destined to illustrate movies. Richly instrumented, it uses repetition of a simple melody, making it sound like romantic classical music. His trademark sounds involve basses and cellos. Classical music exercises bored Kilar when he was learning to play the piano as a child. Only when he got to know contemporary music by Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel and Karol Szymanowski did he find his passion in life. In the 1950s, he tried composition in a neoclassicist style, in vogue at that time. After studying in Paris, he became one of Poland’s three leading vanguard composers in the 1960s. The other two were also giants: Krzysztof Penderecki and Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki, who died in 2010. They experimented with sound quality, serialism and the 12-tone techniques. Kilar’s best known works from the time are the jazzy “Riff62”; “Diphtongos,” a composition for a choir with orchestra; and a minimalist “Upstairs-Downstairs” for two children’s choirs and an orchestra. A turning point came in 1974 with “Krzesany,” a symphonic poem for an orchestra, inspired by highlander music of the Tatra mountains region of southern Poland. From then on, Kilar drew inspiration for his classical music from Polish tradition and Catholic church music.

Longhorns, Ducks out to make best of Alamo Bowl By Paul J. Weber

The Associated Press

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Mack Brown didn’t want to go out like this, and No. 10 Oregon didn’t want its season to end here. That makes the Alamo Bowl on Monday night a finale for two programs making the best of disappointment: Texas (8-4) wanting a fond farewell for Brown Mack after the tension Brown surrounding his resignation, and the Ducks (10-2) denied a BCS bowl for the first time in five years. “The expectation for both of these programs is to be playing in the last game at the end of the year, and neither one of us are doing that,” Brown said Sunday. Speaking publicly for just the second time since announcing this month that he would leave Texas after 16 seasons, Brown sidestepped questions about the circumstances surrounding his exit and whether he will coach again. He said the only thing he would’ve done differently this season was win all the games and enjoy the “happy moms and dads and happy media and happy fans” that come with it. “We’ve done that, and it’s a lot more fun,” Brown said. The Ducks’ chances of playing for a national title after four consecutive BCS bowl appearances were dashed in November after losing to Stanford. Two weeks later, Oregon was pummeled by Arizona. First-year Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said the disappointment of the

BRISBANE INTERNATIONAL

It’s back to business for Sharapova, S. Williams By John Pye

The Associated Press

BRISBANE, Australia — After pulling out of the Brisbane International with injuries in recent seasons, Maria Sharapova is aiming to use the season-opening tournament this time as a springboard for her comeback and to see how her new support crew works in competition. Sharapova has only played one match since an early Maria Sharapova exit at Wimbledon due to a right shoulder injury and has spent months working with her new coach Sven Groeneveld. She arrived in Australia to prepare for the first major of the season with boySerena friend and fellow Williams professional Grigor Dimitrov, who returns after losing the final here to Andy Murray last season. Serena Williams won the last Brisbane title and is back to defend it, hoping she hasn’t lost any of the momentum from a stunning 2013 season when she won 11 titles, including the French and U.S. Opens, had 78 wins from 82 matches — including a 34-match winning streak — and collected more than $12 million in prize money.

he Eagles and Packers went on the road Sunday and headed home with playoff berths. Philadelphia completed a terrific turnaround under new coach Chip Kelly by beating Dallas to win the NFC East.

Foles threw two touchdown passes, NFL rushing champion LeSean McCoy had 131 yards and a receiving score, and the Eagles beat the Cowboys 24-22 in a win-or-go-home game for the NFC East title Sunday night.

Thunder rout tired Rockets SCOREBOARD Local results and schedules

By Murray Evans

The Associated Press

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant had 33 points, 13 rebounds and five assists, and the Thunder won their second straight Thunder 117 game without Russell Rockets 86 Westbrook, beating Houston 117-86 on Sunday night. Jeremy Lamb added a career-high 22 points and five assists for Oklahoma City, which has the NBA’s best record at 25-5. The Thunder have won 12 of their last 13 and 20 of their last 22 games. Reggie Jackson, starting in Westbrook’s place, had 16 points and eight assists. Aaron Brooks had 17 points, and Chandler Parsons scored 15 for Houston, which was playing its fourth game in five days. The Rockets, who had a three-game winning streak snapped, missed their first 12 shots and shot 36.5 percent from the field (31 of 85). Oklahoma City shot 57 percent (47 of 82) in dealing the Rockets their worst loss of the season. Oklahoma City moved to 3-2 on the season without Westbrook. The All-Star point guard underwent arthroscopic knee surgery on Friday, his third surgery since last April, when he tore his meniscus after Houston guard Patrick Beverley banged knees with him as Westbrook tried to call a timeout in Game 2 of a first-round playoff series. The Thunder have said Westbrook’s latest surgery will sideline him until after the All-Star break. Oklahoma City won 89-85 at Charlotte on Friday night in their first game since that surgery, as Durant had 34 points and 12 rebounds. Oklahoma City jumped to a 13-0 lead as the Rockets — making their first trip to Oklahoma City since falling to the Thunder in six games in their playoff series — failed to score until Dwight Howard hit a 3-foot jump hook with 5:27 left in the first quarter. The Thunder extended their lead to 22-5 on a driving layup by Thabo Sefolosha and were up 26-14 at the end of the quarter. The Thunder’s lead stayed in double digits most of the second quarter, and Oklahoma City led 56-44 at halftime. Parsons opened the second half with a corner 3-pointer to pull the Rockets within nine points, but Durant hit two 3-pointers, and Jackson had another during a 15-0 run to give Oklahoma City its biggest lead to that point at 71-47. Houston came no closer than 17 points the rest of the way, and Oklahoma City’s lead eventually reached as many as 32 points, with Lamb putting on a shooting show, finishing 8 of 10 from the field, including 3 of 4 from 3-point range. Houston had all five starters reach double figures in scoring in two of its previous three games, but only Parsons did so against Oklahoma City. Howard struggled against the defense of Oklahoma City’s Kendrick Perkins and had nine points and nine rebounds. Houston also struggled at the free throw line, hitting just 17 of 31 attempts (54.8 percent). Sefolosha scored 13 points, one off his season high, for Oklahoma City. Omri Casspi added 15 points for the Rockets. WARRIORS 108, CAVALIERS 104 In Cleveland, Stephen Curry scored 29 points and made a clutch jumper with 13.5 seconds left as the Warriors opened a long road trip with their fifth straight victory against Cleveland. Curry overcame a poor shooting performance after halftime and nearly recorded a triple-double by adding 11 assists and nine rebounds. He was just 2 of 12 from the floor in the second half and OT.

The Cavs lost by three in Boston on Saturday and two in double-overtime against Atlanta on Thursday. SPURS 112, KINGS 104 In San Antonio, Texas, Manu Ginobili scored 28 points, Tony Parker added 22, and Tim Duncan had 17 points and 13 rebounds to lead the Spurs over Sacramento. Boris Diaw had 14 points, and Tiago Splitter added 11 for San Antonio (24-7). DeMarcus Cousins had 29 points and 14 rebounds, Isaiah Thomas added 27 points, and Rudy Gay had 24 for Sacramento (9-20). Struggling mightily on defense for much of the second half, the Spurs turned to their Big Three to close out the upstart Kings. Ginobili, Duncan and Parker scored San Antonio’s final 21 points in a 23-8 run to close the game. MAGIC 109, HAWKS 102 In Orlando, Fla., Arron Afflalo scored 21 points, and Orlando beat Atlanta to give the Magic back-to-back victories for just the third time this season. Jeff Teague scored 22 points for the Hawks in their second game without twotime All-Star Al Horford, who is out indefinitely with a torn right pectoral muscle. The Hawks also were coming off three straight, grinding overtime games, the latest of which was Saturday night at home against Charlotte.

The Hawks made the game’s first bucket, a 3-pointer, but then trailed until a spurt in the fourth quarter gave them a threepoint lead. But a 9-0 run midway through the final quarter put Orlando in control for good. 76ERS 111, LAKERS 104 In Los Angeles, Thaddeus Young scored seven of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, Evan Turner added 22 points, and the 76ers hung on for their first road win since Nov. 1, beating the depleted the Lakers on Sunday night. Spencer Hawes had 19 points and eight rebounds, while Young and Michael Carter-Williams contributed big points down the stretch as the last-place Sixers held on for just their second win in 11 games overall. “You keep hammering the rock, and one day it’s going to split,” Philadelphia coach Brett Brown said. “Tonight it split.” The Lakers are a shadow of their traditional selves these days, with Pau Gasol joining Kobe Bryant and Steve Nash on the sidelines for this meeting. That didn’t dampen the Sixers’ enthusiasm after doubling their road win total in the second game of a back-to-back set. Philadelphia had lost 19 of 23 since its unlikely 4-2 start to the season. “Wins from time to time help validate the work that everybody is putting in,” Brown said. “If there’s such a thing as deserving something, I think they deserved it.” Philadelphia went up 104-99 with 1:44 to play on a layup by Young, who added a three-point play on the next possession.

Brisbane: Williams, Sharapova could meet Continued from Page B-1 father, Richard, so she could be close to home for the relaunch of one of her companies and to hire a CEO for it. “I was interviewing so many people. Corporate Serena was taking over,” she told a news conference Sunday. “I’m happy to be here right now.” Corporate Serena conducted at least 10 interviews, and she still has at least one more to do. She expects it to be a tough interview, like they all are. “I definitely am not easy. … I’m a tough interviewer. For me, it’s all about business and removing a lot of emotion,” she said. “I just want to get to the point.” And that brings her back to tennis, where she can turn the corporate email account off for a while and concentrate on what she does best. “I took a couple weeks off, but I was already itching to get back on the court,” she said. “I didn’t want to lose any rhythm or anything. Didn’t want to lose momentum.”

Office hours 2:30 to 10 p.m.

No. 3-seeded Sharapova is in Williams’ half of the draw, meaning they could meet in the semifinals. The Brisbane tournament will be Sharapova’s only warmup for the Australian Open, which starts Jan. 13, so she needs to find her rhythm quickly. She said she’d been practicing hard, but also concentrating on relaxing when she’s off the court. Traveling with Dimitrov has helped, she said, despite or because of their major common interest. “Of course, we share a lot of the same things just because we have an elephant in the room that’s called tennis,” Sharapova said Sunday. “But there are so many other things to life that are besides tennis, and there are a lot more things to discuss than forehands and backhands and strings and rackets, which we share similar ideas and things of.” Sharapova split with coach Thomas Hogstedt after her Wimbledon loss, and said she wasn’t in the right frame of

mind to work with Jimmy Connors long term — that partnership lasted one match. “You have to realize that the decisions you make, you have to make them selfishly in this business to be better, to know what’s right for you,” she said. “From the first time we met, I really liked what [Groeneveld] had to say. He’s a team player. He works with everyone on my team, something I was missing for a little bit of time.” In first-round results at Brisbane: Wimbledon finalist Sabine Lisicki had a 6-3, 6-4 win over Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia; Andrea Petkovic of Germany beat American Bethanie Mattek-Sands 6-4, 7-5; Japanese veteran Kimiko DateKrumm won 6-3, 7-5 over Australia’s Olivia Rogowska; and Swiss player Stefanie Vogele beat American Madison Keys 6-4, 6-3. Former No. 1-ranked Caroline Wozniacki withdrew after hurting her right shoulder in practice but said she expected to be fit for the Sydney International next week.

While Serena Williams gets a first-round bye in Brisbane, her older sister Venus Williams will be in action from the first round at the WTA event in Auckland on Monday when she plays 134-ranked Andrea Hlavackova of the Czech Republic. In Hopman Cup Group B action at Perth, Petra Kvitova and Radek Stepanek combined to give the Czech Republic a 3-0 win over Spain. Kvitova only lost one game en route to a comprehensive singles win over Anabel Medina Garrigues before Stepanek beat Daniel Munoz-De La Nava 6-2, 6-2. The Czech pair won the mixed doubles 6-3, 6-4. In evening play in Group A, Grzegorz Panfil upset No. 11-ranked Milos Raonic 7-6, 6-3 to give Poland an unlikely 2-0 victory over Canada. Agnieszka Radwanska gave the Poles a hard-fought 1-0 lead with a 6-3, 6-7, 6-2 win over Eugenie Bouchard.

Stanford loss created some “stragglers.” He said he could’ve done a better job to manage that. “There was absolutely some disappointment, kind of punched-in-the-gut type of feeling for a few guys that just needed to grow up and realize that there was a lot of ball left to be played,” Helfrich said. “And as it played out, we could have played ourselves into a better situation — quote, unquote — but we didn’t earn that.” Here some things to know about the Alamo Bowl: It’s Mariota’s warm-up for 2014: Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota’s announcement this month that he’ll return for his junior season all but assures he’ll shatter every school passing record before he finally does leave. He’s got a chance to start the 2014 Heisman Trophy buzz now, if he can put up another showcase game against Texas to cap a season in which he put up nearly 4,000 yards of total offense. Case (and the McCoy era) closed: Colt McCoy left Texas in 2009 with a then-NCAA record for quarterback victories (45) and a BCS title game appearance.

Case’s prospects of even playing his final year were uncertain after being named the backup. But with starter David Ash injured most of the season, Case has the chance to end the McCoy era at Texas with 55 starting quarterback victories in the family. A final duck call for Aliotti: Like Mack Brown, longtime Oregon defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti also is stepping down after the Alamo Bowl. He’s leaving after 38 years in coaching and revealed this week he wanted to retire last season but didn’t to ease the transition after Chip Kelly left for the NFL. Run away: Underdog Texas will likely need a big game from RB Malcom Brown and its depleted backfield, especially after WR Daje Johnson was ruled academically ineligible and left the Longhorns without another playmaker. Oregon’s run defense took some flak after giving up 578 yards on the ground in its two losses to Arizona and Stanford, but Aliotti said those numbers are misleading. “They ran the ball 66 times,” Aliotti said about Stanford. “They didn’t have to throw it. Tough to answer it this way, but we didn’t play very well on offense.”

Fight to land MLB’s A’s is tale of 3 cities The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO — The Oakland A’s years-long quest for a new home is really a tale of three cities. Oakland is desperately trying to keep the team from moving out of a city already struggling with crime, financial woes and blow after blow to its public image. Oakland Mayor Jean Quan has made retention of the A’s a focal point of her reelection campaign. To the south in the heart of booming Silicon Valley, San Jose is seeking to bolster its profile and treasury with an aggressive campaign to win the A’s, including a legal challenge to Major League Baseball’s sacrosanct antitrust exemption that the mayor vows to take to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary. Standing in the way are San Francisco’s Giants, who claim the lucrative Silicon Valley commercial market as their exclusive territory. And so far, the Giants are winning. On Nov. 25, the A’s announced the signing of a two-year lease to play in O.co Coliseum through the 2015 season. And court documents recently filed revealed that MLB Commissioner Bud Selig informed the A’s this summer that the league had rejected the

team’s proposed move to San Jose. In court on Dec. 13, U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Whyte in San Jose asked MLB lawyer John Keker if the letter was an “unequivocal” denial. “What the A’s asked the commissioner to approve was unequivocally denied,” Keker replied. Selig’s letter itself wasn’t included in the court filing and no reason was disclosed for the rejection — though San Jose strongly suspects the league is acquiescing to the Giants commercial interests. The commissioner’s letter does not preclude the A’s ownership from resubmitting a new application for a move to San Jose. And the A’s still want to move from the Coliseum because of its state of disrepair and the fact that it shares the stadium — and revenues — with the Oakland Raiders of the NFL. In September, A’s players reported foul smells from the bathroom end of their dugout. That came after a June incident in which a clogged pipe caused a sewage backup and flooding on the bottom floor of the ballpark that sent the Seattle Mariners and A’s scrambling around in towels and heading for higher ground in the Raiders’ locker room.

Gonzalez ends career with another Falcons loss By George Henry

The Associated Press

ATLANTA — Tony Gonzalez is ready for the next chapter of his life. The Atlanta Falcons, after wrapping up an ugly 4-12 season, won’t be the same without their superstar tight end. Gonzalez reaffirmed Sunday that he doesn’t plan to play another NFL game after the Falcons lost 21-20 to the Carolina Panthers. “It’s time for me to go into the next stage of life just like everybody else,” he said. “Nobody’s immune to this, and the way I’ve been able to go out on my

own terms, it’s a blessing. And like I said, I have no regrets.” If his remarkable career is indeed finished, Gonzalez will look back on his last game as something special. Tony Gonzalez Over 40 family members and friends stood on the right side of the field as he jogged through the tunnel of noise, smoke and adulation during pregame introductions. His wife and three kids greeted him

with hugs at halftime after Falcons owner Arthur Blank presented him with a commemorative helmet and the Georgia Dome flashed video highlights of his 12 years with Kansas City and five with Atlanta. “It was just snapping in and out and trying to control those emotions because they were running through me today — everything,” Gonzalez said. “I felt like crying at times, and then the game comes up and you’re all intense, trying to go out there and do what I’ve been doing for the last 17 years.” Gonzalez ended the game with 56 yards receiving on four catches, leav-

ing him as the league’s No. 2 career leading receiver, a 13-time Pro Bowl pick and a six-time All-Pro first-team selection, who ranks fifth in yards receiving and sixth in touchdown catches. “This is like graduating to me,” he said. “I’m going to miss it. I’m going to miss my classmates — my teammates. I’m going to miss my coaches — my teachers. I’m going to miss them.” Sunday’s loss followed the form of so many other setbacks for the Falcons this year. They took the lead, blew the lead and came up a few plays short. Again. But Gonzalez stayed true to form

by putting a positive spin on the outcome, which was doomed after center Joe Hawley blew an assignment in the closing seconds by snapping the ball past quarterback Matt Ryan for a 16-yard loss. “It’s offense, defense and special teams, and then the ball’s got to go your way,” Gonzalez said. “We didn’t have that this year. It seemed like the horseshoe fell out of our butts. Even in this game today. We were driving, and everybody felt confident and we were going to get the job done [almost] like last week in San Francisco and then all of a sudden, it’s a fluke-type play.”

Colts’ Vinatieri joins NFL’s 2,000-point club By Michael Marot

The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS — Adam Vinatieri is the seventh NFL player to score 2,000 career points. The Colts kicker did it by making a 26-yard field goal as time ran out in the first half of Sunday’s game against Jacksonville. Vinatieri started the day needing six points to achieve the feat and now has 2,002 career points in 18 seasons — all with either New England or Indianapolis. He has

tied George Blanda for sixth on the career scoring list with 2,002 points. Vinatieri has been widely regarded as the best clutch kicker in league history. He won three Super Bowls with the Patriots, two as a direct result of his consistent right foot, and a fourth with the Colts. He’s the only kicker in NFL history to win four Super Bowl titles. And he’s the only kicker in league history to play in five Super Bowls and be part of six conference championships. His 16 100-point seasons are tied with Jason Elam for the

Playoff: Denver secures No. 1 seed Continued from Page B-1 in the league,” said Packers receiver Jordy Nelson, who caught 10 passes for 161 yards. “To be gone for that many weeks and to play as well as he did — it was great to have him back.” San Diego also finished off a rally to get into the postseason, beating short-handed Kansas City 27-24 in overtime for its fourth consecutive victory. After Miami and Baltimore lost earlier in the day, the Chargers rode Nick Novak’s 36-yard field goal with 5:30 left in OT to the sixth seed. “We didn’t play our best game, but teams that are playoff teams find a way to win when you don’t play your best and that’s what we did today,” Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said. Kansas City kicker Ryan Succop was wide right on a 41-yard field goal to win it with 4 seconds left in regulation. Pittsburgh would have gotten the playoff spot over San Diego had Succop connected. The Colts, winners of the AFC South, beat Jacksonville 30-10 on Sunday and will face a familiar opponent in the playoffs. They won 23-7 in Kansas City last weekend. The defending NFL champion Ravens will stay home. The Bengals beat Baltimore 34-17, ensuring the Ravens (8-8) were eliminated once Pittsburgh (8-8) defeated Cleveland 20-7. “Not going to the playoffs hurts,” running back Ray Rice said. “I’m not used to

having this kind of time on my hands.” Miami (8-8) lost to the New York Jets 20-7, putting the Steelers — who began the season 0-4 — in position to advance if San Diego slipped up at home against a team that rested 20 of 22 starters. The Chargers nearly did, but survived. AFC West champion Denver (13-3), the highest-scoring team in NFL history, earned the No. 1 seed in the conference by romping at Oakland 34-14. New England (12-4), the AFC East winner, will be the second seed and also have a bye next weekend. The Patriots beat Buffalo 34-20. Carolina (12-4) won the NFC South and a first-round playoff bye with a 21-20 victory at Atlanta. The Saints got the final NFC wild card with a 42-17 rout of Tampa Bay. “Now, we can cross that goal off,” Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly said. “Now, we can concentrate, get guys healthy and get ready to go.” Already in the NFC playoffs were San Francisco, which won 23-20 at Arizona on Sunday, and Seattle (13-3), which secured the NFC West title and the conference’s top seed with a 27-9 win over St. Louis. Baltimore made the playoffs in each of coach John Harbaugh and quarterback Joe Flacco’s first five seasons. The Ravens took the AFC North title last season on the way to beating the 49ers in the Super Bowl.

Dallas: Eagles to host Saints Saturday Continued from Page B-1 ing in two days after Romo had back surgery, lost to a division rival with a playoff berth on the line for the third straight year. The Eagles (10-6) will host New Orleans a wild-card game Saturday night. Dallas trailed 24-16 when Orton threw a 32-yard touchdown pass to Dez Bryant. Orton went back to Bryant for the 2-point conversion, but Cary Williams dove to punch the ball away. The Cowboys got another chance with a stop from their beleaguered defense, but Orton’s pass was intercepted by Brandon Boykin on the first play to seal the win. “We kept fighting. We believed in each other,” said Foles, who was 17 of 26 for 263 yards after throwing for only 80 in a 17-3 loss to Dallas at home. “When the offense was struggling, the defense picked us up.” McCoy finished with 1,607 yards to become the first Philadelphia running back to win the rushing title since Hall of Famer Steve Van Buren in 1949. “For all the accolades and the stats, if we didn’t win today, none of that means nothing,” McCoy said. Romo was the quarterback for losses the past two seasons to the New York Giants and Washington — and against the Eagles in the same scenario in 2008.

Orton was the first Dallas starter not named Romo in an elimination game since a playoff loss to Carolina with Quincy Carter under center during the 2003 season. The Cowboys weren’t shy about throwing without Romo. Trailing by one, Dallas tried to pass on fourth-and-1 from the Philadelphia 40 early in the fourth quarter, and Connor Barwin knocked down Orton’s throw to Murray, who was open in the flat. That decision came after Cowboys coach Jason Garrett called a timeout moments before the Eagles would have been called for a false start on fourth down from the Dallas 1. The defense bailed him out by stuffing Foles on a sneak. After the Cowboys’ failed fourth-down try, Foles led a steady march to Bryce Brown’s 6-yard run for an eight-point lead with 6:09 remaining. The Eagles won the division for the first time since 2010 a year after going 4-12, which led to Andy Reid’s departure and the hiring of Kelly and his fast-paced offense from Oregon.

most in league history. Vinatieri and Morten Andersen also are the only NFL players to top 800 points with two teams. Vinatieri opened the day by making two extra points in the first 7½ minutes, then booted a 23-yard field goal to make it 17-0. When he made a second short field goal, he celebrated with a series of fist bumps in what could be his final regular-season home game in Indy. The 41-year-old kicker will be a free agent after the season, though he said this week he hoped to be

back with Indy next season. Vinatieri started this season as the oldest player in the league, a title he held until Jon Kitna was signed by Dallas this week, but has shown no sign of slowing down. He already has a career high (33) field goals this season, and his field goal percentage (86.8 percent) is the fifth highest of his career. Vinatieri will have another chance to win at a fifth Super Bowl title. Indy has clinched the AFC South title.

Rodgers lifts Green Bay past Bears The Associated Press

CHICAGO — Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb came back just in time to lift the Green Bay Packers to the NFC North championship. Rodgers fired a 48-yard touchdown pass to Cobb in the final minute, and the Packers beat the Chicago Bears 33-28 to capture Packers 33 the division title. Bears 28 Back after missing seven games with a broken left collarbone, Rodgers found a wide-open Cobb on fourth-and-8 to wipe out a one-point deficit with 38 seconds left. Green Bay will host San Francisco next weekend in the wild-card round. The Bears had one final drive, but Jay Cutler’s deep pass to Alshon Jeffery was intercepted by Sam Shields on the final play. That gave the Packers (8-7-1) their third straight division title and fifth postseason appearance in a row. It also kept the Bears (8-8) out of the playoffs for the sixth time in seven years. Things weren’t looking great for the Packers after Chicago’s Brandon Marshall spun away from Tramon Williams in the end zone on the first play of the fourth quarter to make it 28-20. But the Packers answered with a touchdown drive. Eddie Lacy ran in from the 6 after a 22-yard pass from Rodgers to Andrew Quarless went through safety Chris Conte’s hands, making it a one-point game. Then, on the winning drive, Green Bay converted twice on fourth-and-1 before Rodgers eluded pressure unleashed that winning pass to Cobb. It was a strong finish after a shaky start for the superstar quarterback, and it gave him some payback against the team that nearly ended his season. Rodgers was intercepted on the Packers’ first two possessions, with Conte picking him off in the end zone on the first one. He also threw for 318 yards and two touchdowns in his first appearance since Nov. 4. He got knocked out of that game on an early sack by Shea McClellin at Lambeau Field, sending the Packers into a 2-5-1 slide. Jordy Nelson had 161 yards receiving, and Cobb, in his first appearance since Oct. 13, won it with his catch. James Starks ran for 88 yards. Eddie Lacy, hobbled by a knee injury, finished with just 66. For the Bears, their first season under Marc Trestman ended the same way five of the previous six did under Lovie Smith — on the outside looking in at the playoffs. They had a chance to wrap up the division last week, only to get pounded 54-11 at Philadelphia. And with another opportunity, they came up short against their longtime rivals. This one is sure to spark memories of Green Bay’s victory in the 2010 NFC title game at Soldier Field on the way to the Super Bowl championship — and fuel more questions about Cutler’s ability to win big games. With a playoff spot on the line and his contract set to expire, Cutler threw for 226 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He is now 1-9 against Green Bay, including that conference final and a loss with Denver in 2007. Matt Forte ran for 110 yards and two scores. He also had 47 yards receiving with a touchdown catch. Alshon Jeffery had 80 yards receiving, and Brandon Marshall had 74. Two unusual plays late in the first half turned a 7-3 deficit into a 13-7 advantage for the Packers. BENGALS 34, RAVENS 17 In Cincinnati, Andy Dalton threw for two touchdowns, ran for another and set a pair of Bengals passing records, leading Cincinnati to a victory that eliminated the Ravens. It was an erratic performance by the third-year quarterback, who also threw four interceptions for AFC North winner Cincinnati (11-5). The Ravens (8-8) lost their last two games, denying them a chance to make the playoffs for a sixth straight season. They couldn’t avoid the Super Bowl slump that’s so common. The Ravens became the 15th Super Bowl champ that failed to reach the playoffs the following season, and the sixth in the last 12 years. BRONCOS 34, RAIDERS 14 In Oakland, Calif., Peyton Manning set the NFL single-season record for yards passing and threw four first-half touch-

down passes to help Denver clinch the top seed in the AFC playoffs with a win over the Raiders. Manning needed just one half to add the yards record to the touchdown mark he set last week and assure that the Broncos (13-3) won’t have to leave home again until the Super Bowl, if they make it that far. He threw touchdown passes to Eric Decker and Knowshon Moreno in the first quarter and added two to Demaryius Thomas in the second quarter. He broke Drew Brees’ record of 5,476 yards set in 2011 with a 5-yard pass to Thomas with 13 seconds left in the half to make it 31-0.

PATRIOTS 34, BILLS 20 In Foxborough, Mass., LeGarrette Blount rushed for a career-high 189 yards and two touchdowns and had two long kickoff returns as New England beat the Bills and clinched a first-round AFC bye. Tom Brady was content to hand the ball off during a steady downpour against a team leading the NFL in sacks and second in interceptions. And Blount responded, leading the charge into the playoffs. Stephen Gostkowski helped make sure the Patriots (12-4) wouldn’t have a game next weekend with four field goals.

SAINTS 42, BUCCANEERS 17 In New Orleans, Drew Brees passed for four touchdowns and ran for another score, and the Saints clinched a wild-card spot with a victory over Tampa Bay. Three of Brees’ scoring strikes were longer than 40 yards — 76 to Kenny Stills, 44 to Lance Moore and 41 to Robert Meachem. Brees passed for 381 yards, eclipsing 5,000 yards in a season for an unprecedented fourth time. He finished the season with 5,162 yards to go with 39 touchdowns. Brees’ other TD was a 10-yard pass to tight end Jimmy Graham, and the Saints (11-5) finished 8-0 in the Superdome.

49ERS 23, CARDINALS 20 In Glendale, Ariz., Phil Dawson made a 40-yard field goal as time expired to lift San Francisco to a win over the Cardinals that clinched the NFC’s No. 5 playoff seed. San Francisco will visit Green Bay in the wild-card round next weekend.

CHARGERS 27, CHIEFS 24 (OT) In San Diego, Nick Novak kicked a 36-yard field goal with 5:30 left in overtime, ending the Chargers’ three-year playoff drought with a victory over Kansas City. The Chargers (9-7) needed help for weeks, and everything fell into place on Sunday, with the last piece being their win over a Chiefs team that already had clinched the AFC’s No. 5 seed and rested 20 of 22 starters. The Chargers, who trailed by 10 points in the fourth quarter, held the Chiefs on downs to win it after they reached the San Diego 41. SEAHAWKS 27, RAMS 9 In Seattle, Malcolm Smith returned an interception 37 yards for a touchdown, Marshawn Lynch added a 2-yard scoring run, and the Seahawks clinched the NFC West title and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win over St. Louis. Seattle (13-3) matched the franchise record for wins in a season and finally wrapped up the No. 1 seed after losses to San Francisco and Arizona, which snapped a 14-game home winning streak. JETS 20, DOLPHINS 7 In Miami Gardens, Fla., the Dolphins were eliminated from the scramble for the AFC’s final wild-card berth by the Jets, who thrived in the role of spoilers against their archrivals. Then owner Woody Johnson said coach Rex Ryan would return despite the Jets (8-8) sitting out the postseason themselves for the third year in a row. STEELERS 20, BROWNS 7 In Pittsburgh, Le’Veon Bell ran for 90 yards and a touchdown as the Steelers drubbed Cleveland, though Pittsburgh’s bid to become the second team in NFL history to go winless in September and make the playoffs ended when San Diego edged Kansas City. Ben Roethlisberger passed for 179 yards and a touchdown against two interceptions as the Steelers (8-8) won their third straight to avoid the franchise’s first losing season since 2003. The victory also continued a furious second-half rally by the Steelers, who went 6-2 over the season’s final eight weeks to fuel an improbable run at the AFC’s final postseason spot.

COLTS 30, JAGUARS 10 In Indianapolis, Andrew Luck threw for 282 yards and one touchdown, Robert Mathis reclaimed the NFL sacks lead, and Adam Vinatieri joined the 2,000-point club. The AFC South champs have won three straight, matching their longest streak of the season. Indy (11-5) finished with a 6-0 mark against division foes and has outscored its last three opponents 78-20. TITANS 16, TEXANS 10 In Nashville, Tenn., Chris Johnson ran for 127 yards and a touchdown in what might be his last game with the Titans, a win that may help coach Mike Munchak’s argument to stay on the job in 2014. With their 14th straight loss, the Texans (2-14) clinched the No. 1 selection in next May’s draft for the next head coach owner Bob McNair hires. The Titans (7-9) scored 16 straight points in snapping a five-game home skid that was their longest since leaving Houston for Tennessee in 1997. They also won a second straight game for the first time since September, when they started 3-1. GIANTS 20, REDSKINS 6 In East Rutherford, N.J., New York’s Jerrel Jernigan caught a 24-yard touchdown pass and ran 49 yards for another score in what might be Mike Shanahan’s final game as Redskins coach. Shanahan has not only seen the Redskins (3-13) finish the season with an eight-game losing streak just a year after winning the NFC East, but his future is uncertain because of his shaky relationship with oft-injured franchise quarterback Robert Griffin III. The Giants (7-9) also aren’t going to the playoffs, but they closed the season with a 7-3 record after losing their first six games. It’s a finish that probably will have two-time Super Bowl winning coach Tom Coughlin back next season, unless the 67-year-old decides he has had enough. VIKINGS 14, LIONS 13 In Minneapolis, Rookie Cordarrelle Patterson scored two more touchdowns, including the go-ahead catch in the end zone in the fourth quarter, and the Vikings won their final game at the Metrodome after 32 seasons. With the Vikings (5-10-1) and the Lions (7-9) out of the playoffs, both coaches also faced the possibility of their last full day with their teams. Jim Schwartz fell to 29-52 in five years with the Lions. Leslie Frazier raised his record with the Vikings in three-plus years to 21-33-1. Each of them has reached the playoffs once.

ALPINE SKIING WORLD CUP

Svindal masters fresh snow in downhill win Conditions prove difficult for United States’ Bode Miller, who finished race in 35th place By Andrew Dampf

The Associated Press

BORMIO, Italy — Aksel Lund Svindal is skiing as if he’s on cruise control. Hard or soft, sunny or dark, the Norwegian just keeps on winning. For Bode Miller and the rest of the U.S. Ski Team, however, this World Cup season has been a different story in downhill. While Miller’s form has improved in recent weeks, he took a step backward Sunday when he finished 35th in a race won with a perfect run from Svindal. “This wasn’t good for my confidence,” Miller said. “But my skiing was fine.” Miller was an early starter and attributed his troubles to snowfall during the first half of his run. “I couldn’t see anything,” the two-time overall winner said. “Not seeing makes the bumps much worse. But I’ve been skiing well. I skied well in the training runs, so we just got to stay focused.” Svindal mastered the fresh snow conditions on the Stelvio course for his fourth victory of the Olympic season, with just 40 days to go to the Sochi Games. The Norwegian clocked 1 minute, 54.08 seconds to finish 0.39 seconds ahead of Hannes Reichelt of Austria. Erik Guay of Canada placed third, 0.51 back, for a strong follow-up to his downhill victory in Val Gardena a week ago. Svindal trailed Guay at every checkpoint but then gained 0.65 seconds over the last few gates, where Guay made a slight but costly error, lifting up his left ski to regain his balance after cutting off a turn too sharply. The Stelvio is known for its knee-jarring

bumps, making fatigue a big factor. “You win Bormio in the last part, because everyone is tired. It’s a mix of you’re tired and it’s a bit scary,” Svindal said. “The last 30 seconds is where you win or lose the race. I had a good plan and was pretty determined to make it happen on the last part.” Svindal has finished in the top five in his last six World Cup downhill races and in 12 of his last 14 dating back to March 2012. How does he stay so consistent? “Preparation is big. And material is a big deal,” Svindal said of his equipment. “I think I have really good material.” Miller also is accustomed to having top material but after sitting out last season to let his surgically repaired left knee heal, the 36-year-old racer is trailing in the equipment race. And Miller fell further behind when a pair of his skis — for giant slalom — were stolen from under his personal motor home overnight. “Unfortunately, now looking at this, it was an omen for how the day was going to go,” said Miller’s wife, Morgan. Still, Bode Miller’s goal is to peak for the Olympics. And while he’s yet to place better than fifth in a speed event this season, he was second in a giant slalom in Beaver Creek, Colo., earlier this month. “He’s figuring it out for Sochi, and that’s all that matters,” Morgan Miller said, adding that the couple plan to head home to California for a break before returning to Europe for races in Adelboden, Switzerland, Jan. 11-12. “It’s going to be nice to get a little break and see our family and recharge,” Morgan Miller said. With Bode Miller struggling, the top American finisher was Travis Ganong of Squaw Valley, Calif., who was 10th for his best result of the season. Bormio also will host the next men’s race on Jan. 6, a Monday night slalom that was moved from Zagreb due to a lack of snow in Croatia. A New Year’s Day race in Munich was canceled due to lack of snow.

Austria’s Schild makes history with 35th World Cup slalom title By Eric Willemsen The Associated Press

LIENZ, Austria — Overcoming several injury-plagued seasons, Marlies Schild of Austria finally set the best mark for most World Cup slalom victories Sunday by winning her 35th race to overtake Switzerland’s Vreni Schneider on top of the all-time list. The 32-year-old Schild is a four-time World Cup slalom champion, but she missed a host of races after breaking a leg in 2008 and then tearing ligaments last year. That meant she was stuck on 33 slalom wins for close to two years until winning in Courchevel, France, this month. “My 34th win was a weight off my shoulders,” Schild said. “Suddenly everything got easier in training though racing is still something different.” Schild got her record-setting win in impressive style. Lying 0.69 seconds behind in sixth after the opening leg, she used a blistering second run to finish in 1 minute, 55.63 seconds and beat American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin, who led the competition after the first run. Shiffrin finished 0.41 behind. Olympic slalom champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany was third, 0.63 behind Schild. “It was tough for me,” said Schild, who celebrated her

KEARNS, Utah — Shani Davis calls the 1,000 meters “one of my babies.” He’ll be heading to Sochi looking to win a third straight gold medal. The two-time defending Olympic champion captured another title in his signature event, edging Brian Hansen by a hundredth of a second at the U.S. speedskating trials Sunday. At age 31 and likely preparing for his final Winter Games, Davis is already assured of being remembered as one of the greats of the sport. He’s not ready to slow down just yet. “I’m the older brother to all these young guys,” he said. “I’m just trying to keep them at bay. They’re nipping at me.” Davis has locked up at least two events in Sochi, also claiming a spot in the 500, and is favored in the still-to-come 1,500, the other of his “babies” and the race that produced silver medals in Turin and Vancouver. In addition, there’s a chance he’ll take part in the team pursuit, a race he passed on at previous Olympics because he didn’t want to affect preparations for his individual events. After gliding along patiently on the backstretch, hands clasped behind his back during a two-minute television commercial break that delayed the start of the next-to-last pairing, Davis powered around the final turn for a time of 1 minute, 7.52 seconds. Hansen came up just short in the final group, crossing the

stripe in 1:07.53. “I’m happy I came across the line first,” Davis said. “Did you see how close that was?” Davis relishes the competition from a teammate. “It’s only going to make us

stronger,” he said. “They’re pushing me. I’m pushing them. We’re all striving to be the best we can be, and you saw it today.” On the women’s side, Heather Richardson beat Brittany Bowe in the 1,000 — a repeat of their 1-2 finish in the 500 on Saturday. The other two projected spots on the Olympic team went to Sugar Todd and Kelly Gunther, the latter completing her comeback from a gruesome ankle injury shortly after she just missed making the Vancouver Olympics. “I can’t believe it,” Gunther said, “with everything I’ve been through and fighting back.” Bowe is the world-record holder in the 1,000, setting the mark of 1:12.58 at the oval in suburban Salt Lake City just last month. She didn’t come close to that time at the trials, settling for the second spot in 1:13.93 and conceding she was worn down a bit after the grueling World Cup schedule.

fourth career win in a Lienz slalom. “I had not a good feeling in the first run. In the second, my skiing felt really well, and I just tried to point my skis down.” The victory was Schild’s 54th career podium in slalom. She is now tied with fellow Austrian Annemarie Moser-Proell (downhill) for the second most podiums in one discipline. Only another Austrian skier, Renate Goetschl, has more, with 59 topthree finishes in downhill. Shiffrin has never made a secret of her admiration for Schild, making her defeat by the Austrian bearable. “I always want to win but she skied better and was faster,” Shiffrin said. “I am OK with taking

second place. If she skies better, I am all for it. She is still one of my idols, and she keeps inspiring me. As long as I am on the podium with her, I am happy.” Shiffrin lost out on the chance to become the youngest winner of five slaloms in one calendar year. At 18 years and 291 days old, the American would have been 67 days younger than Janica Kostelic when the Croatian standout won five slaloms in 2000. However, the missed record didn’t bother Shiffrin too much. “I am happy with a podium,” Shiffrin said, adding “it’s a bit disappointing” to lose her firstrun lead after failing to find her rhythm in the second.

Mom wants to limit contact with kids Dear Annie: I have two grown daughters. I don’t know what I expected as we all grew older, but it certainly wasn’t what I got. Here’s the problem with my older daughter, “Bethany.” The three of us had lunch together, and afterward, Bethany said she was bored and had taken on part-time work as a phone sex worker. I was stunned and thought she was making it up. She is notorious for lying. But she swore she was telling the truth. Annie, she and her husband both have good jobs, and she certainly doesn’t need the money. It made me furious, but we have not mentioned it since. Now, my younger daughter is treating me terribly. After high school, I discovered that “Miranda” was a bully to her classmates. She made fun of them and tormented them for years. I had many conversations with both of my daughters about being kind to people, but obviously it never meant a thing to Miranda. I now believe she is transferring that attitude to me. She never misses an opportunity to correct me in front of my grandchildren. She once hurt my feelings so badly, I broke down in tears. After Thanksgiving, she invited me to go shopping. I was at the designated place, but she wasn’t there. When I phoned, she said she was tied up at the checkout line in another store — one where she knows I love to shop. I said I couldn’t wait and was going home. She didn’t object. I invited her for Christmas dinner, and she refused to let me know whether she could make it until the day before. Annie, I have had many surgeries and illnesses over the years, but in spite of that, I have lived a pretty good life. My husband and I have been generous with our children. If you see a problem with my attitude, tell me. I am willing to change. Right now, however, I am considering cut-

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to pitch in and help a loved one with what he or she deems an overwhelming project. Tonight: Where the gang is. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH You need structure in your life. The unexpected might be shaking you up more than you realize. Tonight: Process your feelings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Friendships will always star in your life. Someone from a distance could be unusually hostile. You might need some thinking time to digest everything that is happening. Tonight: Out late. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Relate directly to a family member or loved one who can be difficult. Clearly, your goals are different. You have other situations that require your time and attention. Tonight: There will be a resolution. Jacqueline Bigar

Chess quiz

The Cryptoquip is a substitution cipher in which one letter stands for another. If you think that X equals O, it will equal O throughout the puzzle. Single letters, short words and words using an apostrophe give you clues to locating vowels. Solution is by trial and error. © 2013 by King Features Syndicate, Inc.

WHITE FORCES MATE Hint: Make way for the knight. Solution: 1. Qxg5ch! fxg5 2. Nh5 mate! [Van den Enden-Praszak ’74].

Today is Monday, Dec. 30, the 364th day of 2013. There is one day left in the year. Today’s highlight in history: On Dec. 30, 1813, British troops burned Buffalo, N.Y., during the War of 1812. On this date: In 1853, the United States and Mexico signed a treaty under which the U.S. agreed to buy some 45,000 square miles of land from Mexico for $10 million in a deal known as the Gadsden Purchase.

Hocus Focus

ting my losses by limiting my contact with both of them. I am too old to put up with this nonsense. — North Carolina Dear N.C.: We think your daughters enjoy yanking your chain in whatever direction it will go. We know this can be aggravating, but it does seem that they are close to you, having lunch together and offering to go shopping. If you enjoy that aspect of the relationship, we’d urge you to take the rest with a grain of salt, knowing that this is how they are. But if it is too stressful for you to be in their company, it makes perfect sense to limit contact to what you can tolerate. Dear Annie: I consider myself a generous person. I never forget the birthdays of my children, grandchildren or friends. I bring casserole dishes to those who are sick or have lost a loved one. Is it asking too much to get a simple thank you? I wouldn’t care whether it was by text message or email. Have we become so entitled that we can’t take a few minutes out of our busy lives to show gratitude? I’d like to tell my family and friends that if they don’t get a check, gift or card from me in the future, it’s because they don’t seem appreciative. — Less Generous Dear Less: Don’t tell us and hope they will see it. Tell them directly. Explain that without an acknowledgement of your gifts, you aren’t sure they are welcome or even that mailed items were received. If there is no word of thanks, you will assume in the future that they prefer not to get your cards, checks and casseroles. Dear Annie: I just wanted to add my suggestion for “No Hallmark.” My 93-year-old mother recycles greeting cards into beautiful bookmarks. Many go to our local library. She loves to do this, and it keeps her busy. — Santa Cruz, Calif.

Sheinwold’s bridge

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Use care with your finances. What you believe to be a sound decision might not be. Schedule a doctor’s appointment, if need be. Tonight: Use your good sense.
