The number of crashes involving alcohol in Santa Fe County dropped sharply in 2013, evidence that New Mexico’s drunken-driving laws, emphasis on enforcement by police

agencies and education are making the state safer, experts say.

The number of fatalities in alcohol-involved crashes also declined, although the numbers were low in both 2012 and 2013.

2014 LEGISLATURE

Health issues could cost House Democrats Absent representatives could give GOP boost

By Steve Terrell The New Mexican

It’s possible that House Democrats could be short two members this session because of health problems.

If that happens, it could result in a de facto majority in the House for Republicans because there are some conservative House Democrats who frequently vote with the GOP on major issues.

House Majority Leader Rick Miera, D-Albuquerque, told The New Mexican on Sunday that he is waiting to hear back from Reps. Phillip Archuleta of Las Cruces and Ernest Chavez of Albuquerque concerning whether they will be able to serve during the 30-day session, which begins Tuesday.

Efforts to reach Archuleta and Chavez for comment on Saturday and Sunday were unsuccessful.

Currently, Democrats have a 37-33 edge over Republicans in the House. If Archuleta and Chavez are on the sidelines, that lead would shrink to 35-33. That is uncomfortable for Democrats considering that Rep. Sandra Jeff, D-Crownpoint, and From left, Piñon Elementary School students Hannah Macias and Jaxen Bujold read essays they wrote about Martin Luther King Jr. during an assembly Friday at the school. ‘Everybody would still be separated without him,’ said Macias, who will be honored at the Roundhouse on Monday for her award-winning essay.

Advocates seek funds to curb Native youth suicide

By Laura Paskus

New Mexico In Depth

In the fall of 2009, four young people in the southeastern part of the state died by suicide. Three were Mescalero Apaches.

Just a few months later, in the spring of 2010, five Navajo teens also died by suicide in Thoreau, a town of fewer than 2,000 in Western New Mexico.

The series of Native American teen suicides those two years made it clear: New Mexico was experiencing a crisis.

Yet despite a growing awareness of the problem and repeated requests for help, the New Mexico Legislature has failed to dedicate sustainable funding to suicide prevention and intervention programs for Native American youth.

Lawmakers and the governor will again be asked to fund programs focused on suicide prevention for Native American youth when the Legislature convenes Tuesday for a 30-day session.

U.N.: Iran invited to attend Syrian peace talks

NEW YORK — Iran has been invited to attend a meeting of foreign ministers in the Swiss city of Montreux on Wednesday ahead of internationally brokered peace talks between Syria’s warring factions, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon said Sunday.

Ban said he had issued the invitation to Iran after “speaking at length in recent days” with Iranian Foreign Minister Javid Zarif, who had “pledged that Iran would play a positive and constructive role in Montreux.”

Ban spoke to reporters at an impromptu briefing Sunday late Sunday afternoon. He said Iran is among 10 additional countries invited to attend the Montreux meeting that precedes the peace talks scheduled to begin Friday between Syrian President Bashar Assad’s delegation and Syrian opposition groups at the U.N. European headquarters in Geneva. Thirty other countries had already been invited to attend the Montreux.

Bomb kills 20, mostly troops, in Northwest Pakistan BANNU, Pakistan — A bomb ripped through a vehicle carrying security forces inside a Pakistani army compound in the country’s volatile northwestern region Sunday, killing 20 people, most of them paramilitary troops, security officials said.

The enormous blast was a heavy blow for the Pakistani military which has been fighting a stubborn insurgency in the country’s northwest. Bombs and shootings have killed thousands of security forces and left thousands more wounded and maimed.

The vehicle was hired by the paramilitary Frontier Corps, said police official Inyat Ali Khan from the Bannu region where the explosion occurred. It was part of a convoy that was about to leave the military base in the town of Bannu and drive west to the North Waziristan tribal area, he said.

28 wounded in explosions at Bangkok protest site BANGKOK — The number of wounded in two explosions that shook an anti-government demonstration site in Bangkok has climbed to 28.

The Erawan Medical Center, which tracks casualties, had initially put the toll at four but said it could rise further.

The violence is the latest to hit the city as Thailand’s increasingly volatile political crisis drags on.

It was not immediately clear what caused the blasts Sunday afternoon near Victory Monument, in the north of the city.

horse that had retired a few years before. The pair have stuck close to each other in one pasture ever since.

“We believe that horses shouldn’t be ridden, quite honestly,” said Peter Gregory.

“They weren’t put on earth to be ridden.

Everything man does to a horse we believe is wrong. Put a bit in their mouth, put shoes on their feet, spurs and things like that.”

The couple said they were inspired to start the farm by their childhood love of horses; Mary had a horse as a girl and Peter used to ride with the milkman on a horse-drawn cart in pre-war England.

Over the years, the farm has expanded in acreage and number of animals — and cost.

The couple estimates they spend more than $250,000 a year to operate the farm and feed all of the horses; some of that comes from donations and another chunk from the Gregorys’ retirement fund. Most of the costs are for feed in the winter — but in the summer the horses graze on grass and hay.

“Right now we’re buying four tons of grain a week,” said Gregory. “It’s a lot of money.”

Veterinary care is often provided pro bono by veterinary school students.

While they do have volunteers and a parttime paid employee to help with daily chores, the Gregorys, as they also age, realize that they must form a plan for the farm’s future.

They do have children, but they have their own careers. A board of directors oversees the farm, but the Gregorys hope that they can find someone such as a veterinarian to deal with the day-to-day challenges.

“We have to find somebody willing to come here and manage it,” said Peter Gregory.

KIEV, Ukraine — Anti-government protests in Ukraine’s capital escalated into fiery street battles with police Sunday as thousands of demonstrators hurled rocks and firebombs to set police vehicles ablaze. Dozens of officers and protesters were injured.

Police responded with stun grenades, tear gas and water cannons, but were outnumbered by the protesters. Many of the riot police held their shields over their heads to protect themselves from the projectiles thrown by demonstrators on the other side of a cordon of buses.

The violence was a sharp escalation of Ukraine’s two-month political crisis, which has brought roundthe-clock protest gatherings, but had been largely peaceful.

Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko tried to persuade demonstrators to stop their unrest, but failed and was sprayed by a fire extinguisher in the process.

Klitschko later traveled to President Viktor Yanukovych’s suburban residence and said the president has agreed to negotiate.

“There are only two ways for events to develop.

The first one is not to negotiate,” Klitschko was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency. “A scenario of force can be unpredictable and I don’t rule out the possibility of a civil war. … And here we are using all possibilities in order to prevent bloodshed.”

BAGHDAD — Iraqi government forces and allied tribal militias launched an all-out offensive Sunday to push alQaida militants from a provincial capital, an assault that killed or wounded some 20 police officers and government-allied tribesmen, officials said.

Since late December, members of Iraq’s al-Qaida branch — known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant — have taken over parts of Ramadi, the capital of the largely Sunni western province of Anbar.

They also control the center of the nearby city of Fallujah, along with other non-al-Qaida groups that also oppose the Shiite-led government.

A military officer and two local officials said fierce clashes raged through Sunday night in parts of Ramadi, but gave no details.

Later, the commander of Anbar operations, army Lt. Gen. Rasheed Fleih, said that Iraqi special forces retook al-Bubali village following fierce clashes with the militants who had held it for about three weeks. AlBubali lies on the road between Ramadi and Fallujah.

Fleih said that gunmen had booby-trapped several houses in the village before their retreat. He declined to give any figures regarding casualties.

The two Anbar officials said 20 police officers and allied tribesmen were either killed or wounded during the assault.

The officials were unable to provide a breakdown of

the casualties.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who heads the al-Qaida group in Iraq, urged Iraqi Sunni Muslims to join the militants in an audio message posted on militant websites Sunday.

“You the Sunni people in Iraq, you can carry the weapons against the Shiites. … This is your chance, so do not miss it. Otherwise you will be finished,” al-Baghdadi said. He also exhorted his militants to continue their fight and also attack Baghdad.

Hours after the offensive was announced, Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki vowed to continue fighting “terrorism,” but left the door open for a political solution.

“Our battle is firstly to beat and eliminate terrorism, though we welcome any solution, any proposal and any political meeting that should realize the

priority of destroying terrorism, al-Qaida, its formations and its allies,” al-Maliki said.

Elsewhere Sunday, gunmen opened fire on a checkpoint run by an anti-al-Qaida, progovernment Sunni tribal militia outside the city of Baqouba, killing the local leader and four assistants, a police officer and medical officials said. The former al-Qaida stronghold

CHOOSE YOUR COLOR

Baqouba is located about 35 miles northeast of the capital, Baghdad.

The Sunni militia, known as the Awakening Council, was formed by U.S. forces during the height of the insurgency.

They are seen as traitors by alQaida’s local branch and other militant groups.

The officials in Anbar province and Baqouba spoke on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to release information.

Violence has escalated in Iraq over the past year, particularly since late last month after authorities dismantled an anti-government Sunni protest camp and arrested a Sunni lawmaker on terrorism charges. To alleviate the tension, the army pulled back from Fallujah and Ramadi, but that allowed alQaida militants to seize control.

Last year, the country saw its highest annual death toll since the worst of the country’s sectarian bloodletting began to subside in 2007, according to United Nations figures.

The U.N. said violence killed 8,868 in 2013. Sunday’s violence brought the death toll so far this month to 364, according to an Associated Press tally.

MLK: 400 students submitted essays Continued from Page A-1 The school’s students are currently operating a clothing drive to help residents of St. Elizabeth Shelter.

The essay writers all said that because of King’s actions, they can befriend students of different colors and races without stress or fear. “Everybody would still be separated without him,” said Hannah Macias, who placed first in the category for sixth- to eighthgraders. “I can’t imagine not having friends who are a different color.”

Macias’ mother, Gladys Macias, said her daughter did all the work on the essay on her own, independent of her mother and father. “I’m very proud of her,” she said. Her daughter, she added, “mentioned to me that she wanted to write an essay because she has a lot of friends with different nationalities, and it doesn’t matter to her the way they look or their race.”

“He had a dream and he really held onto it,” sixth-grader Maya Calhoun said after her assembly reading. “A lot of people have dreams and then don’t hold onto them. He makes me believe I can hold on to my dream.”

Fifth-grader Jaxen Bujold also read his essay during the school’s celebration of King’s life.

On Monday, winning essayists and runners-up will be honored at noon in the Rotunda at the Roundhouse. The event is free and open to the public.

In addition to Macias, winners include Deedee Jansen, Santa Fe School for the Arts and Sciences, grades 3-5; and Ginette Jaramillo of Capital High School, grades 9-12. Justin Cummings of Santa Fe High School, Maria Salas of Capshaw Middle School and Isaías López of Sweeney Elementary School received honorable mentions.

About 400 students entered the contest.

DWI: Legislature likely will discuss drunken driving Continued from Page A-1 “It’s not noise; it’s not random. There is a real trend going on there,” said Tom Starke, an ignition interlock advocate affiliated with Impact DWI. The end-of-the-year Alcohol Abuse Report prepared by the Santa Fe Prevention Alliance shows that the number of alcohol-related crashes decreased from 128 in 2012 to 106 in 2013, a drop of 17 percent.

The number of DWI arrests was down 5 percent, from 820 in 2012 to 781 last year.

And in 2013, six people in the county died in drunkendriving crashes, one less than in 2012.

Starke and others believe that one significant factor is New Mexico’s ignition interlock law. Since 2005, the state has mandated an interlock for all offenders, and it currently leads the nation in the number of interlocks installed per 1o,000 residents (nearly 13,000). The interlock allows people convicted of drunken driving to continue to drive when sober.

“It definitely helps and drives home the message,” said Santa Fe’s police chief, Ray Rael.

Another factor cited by experts is vehicle forfeiture laws. In both the city and county, law enforcement authorities can seize your vehicle if you are arrested for drunken driving and already have a conviction on your record. And since 2009, anyone who is arrested for driving while their license is revoked also can lose their ride. Last year, the city and the county seized 554 vehicles, compared to 504 in 2012.

Many of those will be subject to permanent forfeiture.

Starke said police and sheriff’s deputies have been catching a lot of people driving after a license revocation.

The quality of law enforcement has gotten better, too, he said. According to Starke, people who use the county’s subsidized cab ride program, which allows someone to pay a reduced fare for a ride home

MUI/MIP: MINORS UNDER THE INFLUENCE/MINORS IN POSSESSION OF ALCOHOL SOURCE: SANTA FE UNDERAGE DRINKING PREVENTION ALLIANCE

We are strongly enforcing all these [DWI] laws “ and ultimately we believe it’s having an impact. If

you are going to drink and drive, you are going to expose [yourself] and eventually get stopped.”

Ray Rael, chief of the Santa Fe Police Department from a house party or bar on weekend nights, say “enforcement is more effective, and it’s not safe to drive drunk because you’re going to get caught.”

The officers are “pretty merciless” when it comes to drunken-driving offenses, Rael confirmed. “We are strongly enforcing all these [DWI] laws and ultimately we believe it’s having an impact. If you are going to drink and drive, you are going to expose [yourself] and eventually get stopped.”

Regular seat-belt use also is believed to be reducing the number of injuries and deaths in motor vehicle crashes.

While some drunken drivers neglect to fasten their seat belts when they get behind the wheel, Rael said he thinks that buckling up becomes a habit that people do whether drunk or sober and “may prevent an accident from becoming more serious.”

Currently, Starke said, about

90 percent of drivers comply with the law, and “if we moved to 95 percent, as other states have done, that would really drop fatalities.”

National statistics show that Americans are driving fewer miles per capita, especially those between 16 and 26.

In New Mexico, for example, the number of miles driven per year since the peak in 2007 declined 10 percent, according to the Federal Highway Administration.

Some believe that the decrease was linked to the recession, which hit in 2008, and fear an improving economy might be a setback to success in curbing drinking and driving. But experts are not confident about linking the economy to the number of miles driven, and consequently the decline in DWI arrests, crashes and fatalities.

Nationwide, people are driving less for a variety of reasons, even in New Mexico.

Rael said he believed the decline in alcohol-involved crashes is related more to education about the impact of drunken driving and strengthened enforcement.

“The probability of getting arrested for DWI, the cost of defending yourself and possibly losing your vehicle — all this starts adding up quickly and having a serious impact on your finances,” he said.

Statistics from the Santa Fe DWI Planning Council show the rearrest rate of first-time offenders declined by 55 percent since 2002, the year of the first interlock law; the number of alcohol-involved crashes fell 40 percent between 2002 and 2010, and alcohol-involved injuries declined 47 percent in that same time period.

Lupe Sanchez, director of the county’s DWI program, attributed the improvement in the DWI picture to a combination of factors, including the ignition interlock (“makes

life rough to have that thing”), checkpoints and saturation patrols, vehicle seizures and public awareness.

But whatever the reason, “Anytime crashes go down, we’re grateful,” he said. “One life is huge.”

Ignition-interlock advocates and other DWI reformers are always working to tweak New Mexico’s drinking-and-driving laws, but “I think there’s been a vast improvement over when I first began my law-enforcement career,” Rael said.

Every year, there are efforts to close loopholes and fund efforts to combat drunken driving, and even in the state Legislature’s upcoming 30-day “budget” session, the issue will come up.

A bill filed by Rep. Carl Trujillo, D-Santa Fe, (House Bill 16) would shift more liquor excise tax revenues into DWI prevention programs.

And HB 349, which passed the House last year, might be reintroduced. A combination of three separate bills, it would require a felony DWI conviction be considered a predicate offense that must be used in determining if a person is a habitual offender.

In addition, it would require a person whose license was revoked for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol to complete a minimum of six months driving with an interlock, with no attempts to circumvent or tamper with the device. Furthermore, the driver could not register of BAC measurement of more than .004 and must have at least one test per week.

It would also require an offender who says he has no car or doesn’t drive to obtain a home breath-alcohol measuring device and provide morning and evening breath samples for the duration of house arrest.

And lastly, it would allow the interlock device fund to help pay for home breathalcohol measurement devices along with ignition interlocks for indigent offenders.

suicide: Rate in New Mexico is nearly four times the national rate Continued from Page A-1 The reasons for suicide are often unclear.

The risk factors are complicated and regularly intertwined. Among Native youth, in particular, experts point to everything from a lack of available and accessible behavioral health services to untreated mental illness, poverty and historical trauma.

One of the most significant risk factors: knowing someone who has died by suicide. For Native youth, who often live in small, isolated communities, that’s a real issue. The rate of suicide among Native American youth in New Mexico is nearly four times the national rate of suicide among all 15- to 24-year-olds, according a recent report from the state Department of Health.

Many communities, agencies and families are wrestling with those complexities. They know that effective suicide prevention requires acknowledging the dynamic interplay of multiple risk factors.

Sabrina Strong of the New Mexico Suicide Prevention Coalition likens it to walking along a river and spotting people who are being swept downstream. “You’re going to try to rescue as many people as possible. But someone has to run upstream and see why people keep falling into the water,” Strong says. “In public health work, we’re trying to back up and ask, ‘Where do things go wrong?’ ” She adds that people can’t just look for a simple answer, like bullying or a breakup. “OK, but there were 12 signs along the way,” she says. “It doesn’t just happen.”

Not all Native communities in New Mexico have problems with youth suicide, and suicide and its effects transcend race and age, says Doreen Bird, a community-based research specialist at the University of New Mexico Center for Rural and Community Behavioral Health.

“As human beings, we can all be faced with these issues,” she says. “You can see someone every day and not know what they were going through, not know what they are feeling.”

‘We don’t want just an idea’ The problem isn’t limited to New Mexico. In some places, including the Upper Midwest and Great Plains, the youth suicide rate in Indian Country is five times to seven times the national average.

In March 2010, the U.S. Senate Committee on Indian Affairs convened a hearing on youth suicide in Indian Country. Calling it a “preventable epidemic,” senators listened to behavioral health experts and others discuss problems and potential solutions.

Coloradas Mangas, a Chiricahua Apache from the Mescalero Apache Reservation in South-

ern New Mexico and, at the time, a sophomore at Ruidoso High School, testified. Identifying himself as a “survivor of teen suicide,” he listed friend after friend who had died by suicide in recent years — six friends total, plus his grandmother. Mangas also recalled receiving a distressed friend’s text message. Not knowing what to do, he called law enforcement. When no one responded, he says he walked for three hours, looking for her in the forest. He found her.

“It was a good thing I found her when I did,” Mangas told the Senate committee. “Otherwise, she would have been gone forever.” He knew then he needed help, too — that helping his friends “was bigger than I could handle by myself.”

Mangas found help, he said, but feared other teens might not. “I am more of an exception than the rule because most youth would not go to the mental health clinic,” he told the senators. “The stigma and shame keeps people away.”

He also offered recommendations: boosting mental health services, streamlining Medicaid approval for people who are referred to residential treatment centers, making sure tribes provide their young people with access to activities, and overcoming the stigma and taboo of talking about death and suicide.

“I am also from a new generation of young men and women who believe in breaking the silence and seeking help,” Mangas told the committee, adding: “I believe in change.”

As U.S. senators were seeking to address the problem, changes were happening in New Mexico, too.

After the 2010 deaths in Thoreau, an ad hoc group of community leaders, educators and health workers gathered to discuss ways to address suicide among Native American youth in New Mexico. Their work grew into a proposal for a clearinghouse that would connect people from the state’s diverse Native American communities with culturally appropriate prevention initiatives.

Then, in March 2011, Gov. Susana Martinez signed the Native American Suicide Prevention bill, which officially created the statewide clearinghouse.

Flanked by students, lawmakers and educators at Shiprock High School on the Navajo Nation, Martinez sympathized that young people feel so devastated that taking their own lives “is the only option.”

“What we need to do is make sure they understand that there are other options, that they don’t have to take that ultimate step and that they matter,” Martinez told The Associated Press.

The bill’s sponsor, former state Sen. Lynda Lovejoy, D-Crownpoint, was there, too. At the time, she told the AP: “We want this to be effec-

tive. We don’t want just an idea.”

But the bill included none of the funding requested for the clearinghouse or prevention programs for Native youth. The Legislature had stripped $150,000 for the clearinghouse and $300,000 for prevention programs for Native youth before the legislation reached Martinez’s desk.

Established but unfunded, the clearinghouse was set up through UNM’s Center for Rural and Community Behavioral Health, with technical assistance from the New Mexico Department of Health. According to Health Department spokesman Kenny Vigil, the state initially helped supervise an AmeriCorps volunteer to assist with the project; the state’s youth suicide prevention coordinator also offered guidance and attended work-group meetings.

The next year, 2012, lawmakers and the governor approved $100,000 for UNM’s work on the clearinghouse in fiscal year 2013, which ended June 30.

What didn’t make it into the state budget was $300,000 sought by Rep. James Roger Madalena, D-Jemez Pueblo, for three culturally based Native American youth suicide prevention initiatives. That bill failed.

Funding that focuses on Native American youth suicide prevention is needed, advocates say. Although there is state and federal money for suicide prevention, those resources are spread thin across the entire state and serve all demographics.

Supporters of funding for Native American youth are readying themselves for another attempt to win state dollars. In mid-December, members of the Legislature’s Indian Affairs Committee voted unanimously to try to secure money in the upcoming session. Madalena has prefiled such legislation for the upcoming session.

A Martinez spokesman hasn’t responded to emails asking if the governor will support the legislation.

Building trust Given the diversity of the state’s Native communities and the long miles between many of them, suicide prevention work can be challenging — especially when programs originate from outside the community.

Researchers and public health workers must engage directly with individual tribes and draw on the experts already present within each community, says Robyn Atencio, a mental health counselor at Five Sandoval Indian Pueblos, a nonprofit that administers grants and provides services for the pueblos of Cochiti, Jemez, Sandia, Santa Ana and Zia in Central New Mexico.

“Intervention needs to be unique,” she says, “and tailored to communities.”

Tribal input is important for another reason: Historically, university researchers have visited tribal communities, gleaned stories and information, and then taken ownership of that “data,” Atencio says. In other words, Native American people would talk about their culture, religion, family and cultural histories. Departing from the community, researchers would weave that information into books, academic dissertations or articles. Oftentimes, trust was betrayed; but almost always, that information was co-opted by “experts” whose work never reached — or benefited — Native people.

“We don’t want to do that,” says Sheri Lesansee, Native American behavioral health program manager at UNM’s Center for Rural and Community Behavioral Health, which houses the clearinghouse.

A tribal consultation board, created by the Legislature and made up of leaders within Native American communities, is supposed to advise UNM on the clearinghouse. The group held its first meeting in December.

Bird, the community-based research specialist at the UNM center, has spent time listening to tribes’ concerns, meeting leaders and community members. Building trust is critical, she says.

For Bird and Lesansee, both of whom are Native, recognizing risk factors and problems is crucial to addressing the problem of youth suicide. So is emphasizing resiliency and hope.

In May, the center and its community and agency partners sponsored a summit for tribal leaders, policymakers, community members and young people to share the experiences and best practices for intervening when someone is at risk. Young people created a video in which they tell tribal leaders what they need.

“The youth are ready to talk about it, to be engaging on it,” Lesansee says. “We don’t want to lose their voices in this.”

TAOS — What is now a 45-minute march to the top of Kachina Peak may be a simple, five-minute lift ride as early as next ski season.

Taos Ski Valley has announced it will install a lift to near the top of the 12,450-foot peak this summer. The move is meant to attract more visitors to the resort by making some of its most spectacular terrain more accessible for skiers and snowboarders.

“There is nothing in North America in terms of in-bounds, lift-served terrain that compares to Kachina Peak,” Taos Ski Valley CEO Gordon Briner told The Taos News.

The resort says the lift will be installed this summer and will be operational by the start of the 2014-15 ski season.

The green light for the Kachina lift comes only a few weeks after the sale of the resort to billionaire Louis Bacon was made public.

When announcing the sale in December, the Blake family — who has owned and operated the resort since it was founded by patriarch Ernie Blake in 1955 — said they could not afford to bankroll much-needed improvements to the mountain, including the Kachina lift.

Briner told The Taos News the purchase and installation of the lift are expected to cost $2.7 million. The project is only one on a list of improvements on and off the mountain approved by the Forest Service in 2010.

Briner said the bottom terminal of the lift will be located near the short climb to Huntzinger’s Bowl as accessed from the top of Lift 4. The top terminal will be about 100 vertical feet below Kachina Peak to skiers left of the prayer flags.

Once operating, the tripleseat, fixed-grip lift will carry skiers and boarders 1,100 feet up the mountain in five minutes.

The top elevation of the lift will be among the highest in the country.

The resort argues a lift to Kachina Peak will mean the terrain it serves will be open before the holidays and stay open through the end of the season because the ski patrol will have better access to compact and maintain snow condi-

tions. Briner said there are no plans to add snowmaking to the peak, primarily because its elevation and aspect mean it typically receives the most snow of any part of the resort.

The resort says the lift will increase lift-served advanced and expert terrain by 50 percent, while keeping more than half of the existing “hike-to” terrain intact. Briner notes competing resorts — like Telluride in Colorado and Big Sky in Montana — have seen visitor numbers jump after installing lifts for their highest terrain.

Briner estimates there might be 100 people on the peak or hiking the peak at any given time on a busy day.

By comparison, the new lift will have the capacity to haul 1,400 people to the summit every hour.

Over the past decade, Taos Ski Valley has seen skier numbers steadily slide while the industry nationwide has been trending upward.

The addition of the peak lift will likely become a centerpiece of the resort’s marketing as it hopes to attract visitors.

“The lift will be an important development on Ernie’s goal of building a challenging mountain that can be shared with all,” said Jean Mayer, owner of the Hotel St. Bernard and technical director of the Ernie Blake Ski School, in a statement from the resort.

Three gay Republicans try to make election history

The County Assessor hereby publishes notice to property owners, pursuant to Section 7-38-18 NMSA 1978, as follows:

By Steve Peoples

The Associated Press

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Dan Innis’ husband persuaded him to run for the U.S. House.

It didn’t matter that Innis, a former business school dean, faced an aggressive Democratic incumbent, GOP colleagues who oppose his right to marry, and history — no Republican ever has been openly gay when first elected to Congress.

“He said, ‘You’ve got to do this,’ ” recalls Innis, running in the 1st Congressional District, which covers most of eastern New Hampshire. “He said, ‘You need to take this opportunity and see if you can make a difference.’”

Innis plays down his sexuality as a campaign issue but acknowledges the historic undertones. He is among three openly gay Republicans nationwide expected to run in this year’s midterm elections. None has an easy path to Washington.

Each ultimately must unseat a Democratic incumbent, overcome brushes with hate and confront passionate divisions within the GOP about the way they live their lives. The Republican Party is trying to soften its tone on divisive social issues, but many religious conservatives see homosexuality as immoral.

Innis is married to a man, as is former state Sen. Richard Tisei, R-Mass., who is expected to run again for the northeastern Massachusetts congressional seat he narrowly lost in 2012 to Democratic Rep. John Tierney.

In San Diego, former Republican city councilman Carl DeMaio is challenging firstterm Democratic Rep. Scott Peters.

“You can’t focus on any of the nasty comments or attacks — not just from far right, also from far left,” DeMaio says.

During his unsuccessful 2012 Republican mayoral campaign,

COUNTY ASSESSOR ORDER NO. 13-34 NOTICE OF REQUIREMENTS TO REPORT CERTAIN MATTERS RELATING TO PROPERTY VALUATION AND CLAMING EXEMPTION FROM PROPERTY TAXATION

1. All property subject to valuation for property taxation purposes not valued by the Assessor in 2013 for property taxation purposes must be reported to the Assessor no later than the last day of February 2014, unless it is not subject to valuation for property taxation purposes in 2014. The report must contain the required information and be on a form that is obtained from the Assessor’s office. Section 7-38-8, NMSA 1978.

2. If you have made improvements to real property during 2013 and the improvements cost more than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), the improvements must be reported to the Assessor no later than the last day of February 2014. The information required and the form may be obtained from the Assessor’s office. Section 7-38-8 (C), NMSA 1978.

3. All real property owned by any nongovernmental entity and claimed to be exempt from property taxation under the provisions of Paragraph (1) of Subsection B of Section 7-36-7 NMSA 1978 shall be reported for valuation purposes to the appropriate valuation authority. If a change in eligibility status or ownership of the property has changed, the change shall be reported no later than the last day of February 2014. Section 7-38- 8.1 NMSA 1978.

4. If you own property that has decreased in value during 2013, and that property is subject to valuation for property taxation purposes, you must report the decrease in value to the Assessor no later than the last day of February 2014. The report must contain the required information and must be on a form that is obtained from the Assessor’s office. Section 7 38 13, NMSA 1978.

DeMaio and his male partner of six years were booed as they walked hand in hand in San Diego’s gay pride parade.

“Every once in a while we’ll get some hate that is truly over the top — a truly venomous voice mail message. Every time we need a lift-me-up, we play it and chuckle,” DeMaio says. “It’s just a reminder that what we’re fighting for matters.”

He is fighting his own party, too.

The GOP’s formal platform, as set in its 2012 national convention, declares that “marriage, the union of one man and one woman, must be upheld as the national standard.”

Republican opposition to gay marriage has become less visible recently as the GOP works to improve its image and polling suggests that most Americans support same-sex marriage.

Prominent social conservatives such as former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and Ralph Reed, former leader of the Christian Coalition, declined to be interviewed for this story.

As a senator in 2003, Santorum, a leading candidate in the

2012 presidential primary, compared homosexual acts to child molestation and bestiality.

Last month, U.S. Rep. Randy Forbes, R-Va., drew national attention for pressuring the House Republican campaign arm not to support openly gay candidates. That led House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to pledge public support for gay Republicans.

Boehner traveled to Massachusetts in 2012 to help raise money for Tisei, who notes that more than 70 members of Congress supported his last campaign.

Still, Tisei says the GOP must do more to change the perception that “we’re the party that wants to deny people their rights and interfere with their personal lives.”

In particular, he says Republicans need gay members in their ranks to help shift their mindset on key policies. “It would be a lot harder to take positions that discriminate against people when you have [gay] people in the room you work with on a daily basis that you like and know,” Tisei says.

5. If you believe that your real property is entitled to head-of-family exemption, veteran exemption or disabled veteran exemption from property taxation, you must apply to the Assessor for exempt status no later than thirty (30) days after the mailing of the County Assessor’s notices of valuation in order to be entitled to the exemption from taxation in 2014. Exceptions: If an exemption from taxation was in effect for 2013 and the basis of the exempt status or use is unchanged from that year, application for exemption need not be made for 2014. If you have previously been granted an exemption and now have a change in ownership or status you must notify the Assessor of the change no later than the last day of February 2014 of the change. If required, application for exemption must contain the required information and must be on a form that is obtained from the Assessor’s office. Section 7 38 17, NMSA 1978.

6. Property subject to valuation is presumed to be nonresidential and will be so recorded by the assessor unless you declare the property to be residential no later than the last day of February 2014. If your property has changed in use from residential to nonresidential or from nonresidential to residential use you must declare this status to the Assessor no later than the last day of February 2014. The declaration must contain the required information and must be in a form that may be obtained from the Assessor’s office. Section 7-38-17.1 NMSA 1978.

7. If you are a person who is sixty-five (65) years of age or older or disabled, and whose “modified gross income” was not greater than $32,000 in 2014 and you own and occupy a single-family dwelling you may be eligible for a limitation on the taxable value of your residence. The limitation of value specified in Subsections A, B and C under Section 7-36-21.3 NMSA 1978 shall be applied in the tax year in which the owner claiming entitlement files with the county assessor an application for the limitation. The application must contain the required information and must be on a form that is obtained from the Assessor’s office. Section 7-36-21.3 NMSA 1978.

8. If your land was valued in 2013 in accordance with the special method of valuation for land used primarily for agricultural purposes, and the land is still used primarily for agricultural purposes, you need not reapply for that special method of valuation in 2014. If your land was valued in accordance with the special method of valuation in 2013, but it is no longer used primarily for agricultural purposes, you must report the change to the Assessor no later than the last day of February 2014. If your land was not valued in accordance with that method of valuation in 2013 and it is now used primarily for agricultural purposes, application must be made under oath, in a form and contain the information required by department rules and must be made no later than thirty (30) days after the mailing of the County Assessor’s notices of valuation in order to be entitled to the exemption from taxation in 2014. Section 7-36-20 NMSA 1978.

9. If you own “livestock” that is subject to valuation for property taxation purposes, you must report such livestock to the Assessor. All such livestock present in the county on January 1, 2014 must be reported to the Assessor no later than the last day of February 2014. If the livestock is transported into the county after January 1, 2014, it must be reported to the Assessor no later than the first day of the month following the first month in which the livestock has been present in the county for twenty (20) days. The report must contain the required information and must be on forms obtained from the Assessor’s office. Section 7 36-21 NMSA 1978.

10. If you own a manufactured home [that was not previously assessed] and it was present in the county on January 1, 2014, you must report it to the Assessor no later than the last day February 2014. The report must contain certain required information and must be on a form obtained from the Assessor’s office. Section 7-3626 NMSA 1978.

THIS NOTICE IS ONLY A BRIEF STATEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 7 38-8, 7-38-8.1, 7-38-13, 7-3817, 7-38-17.1, 7-36-21.3, 7-36-20, 7-36-21, and 7-36-26 NMSA 1978, and related Taxation & Revenue Department Regulations.

EL NUEVO MEXICANO Metas del TLCAN aún vagas De Prensa Asociada

CIUDAD DE MEXICO irando alrededor a un México plagado de Starbucks, Wal-Mart y Krispy Kreme, es difícil recordar al país antes del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte, que ha expandido dramáticamente las opciones para el consumidor y el comercio desde que entró en vigor el 1 de Ene. hace 20 años.

Mientras que cambió al país en algunos aspectos fundamentales, el tratado nunca cumplió con las promesas de disminuir la disparidad entre los salarios de México y Estados Unidos, incrementar la oferta de empleos, combatir la pobreza y proteger al medio ambiente. Los sindicatos débiles en México y la competencia contra Asia y Centroamérica mantiene los sueldos bajos; la intensificación de la seguridad en la frontera con E.E.U.U. cerró la “válvula de escape” de inmigración de México y lo estipulado en materia ambiental del acuerdo perdió la batalla contra estatutos que protegen a los inversionistas.

México tomó ventajas del acuerdo con E.E.U.U y Canadá en algunas áreas. Los sectores automotriz, electrónico y agrícola han crecido y los bancos extranjeros han llegado al país, incrementando así el acceso al crédito, pero la mayoría de los mexicanos no ha visto el beneficio en su ingreso. Mientras que la clase media actualmente es mayor, México es el único país en Latinoamérica donde la pobreza también ha crecido en años recientes. De acuerdo a la Comisión Económica de América Latina, la pobreza cayó de un 48.4 por ciento en 1990 a un 27.9 por ciento en 2013 en toda Latinoamérica. En México, donde fue de 54.4 por ciento en 1994, la pobreza cayó hasta un 42.7 por ciento en 2006; pero en 2012, subió a 51.3 por ciento.

o se que Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fue un soñador muy valiente que lucho por igualdad de derechos de los afroamericanos. En ese tiempo existía segregación entre las razas. ”Mantener a las personas separadas se llama segregación” (La Historia del Derecho al Voto Afroamericano, Carol Domblewski, 2010).

Todos los días me despierto en la mañana y voy a la escuela porque cuando sea grande quiero tener un buen trabajo. Un buen trabajo para mi, es un trabajo donde ayudas a personas que no tienen mucha libertad, ayudar a personas que no tienen voz. ¿Sabias que hay personas en los Estados Unidos que no tienen voz? Esas personas que no tienen voz no tienen muchos derechos en los Estados Unidos. A esas personas las llamamos inmigrantes y los inmigrantes son personas que vienen a los Estados Unidos a encontrar una mejor vida, están luchando para poder hacer mejores cosas en este país.

King tenía un buen trabajo, era un trabajo donde ayudó a los afroamericanos a tener una voz. Tener voz significa poder votar y tener los mismos derechos que los blancos.

Esa no fue una lucha fácil en el tiempo que vivía este gran líder, pero nunca se dio por vencido. El conocía las necesidades de su raza, de su gente.

Yo conozco la vida de los inmigrantes porque mis papás son inmigrantes. Ellos me trajeron a este país porque quieren que yo tenga una mejor vida. ¿Qué es una mejor vida? Una mejor vida es tener oportunidad de estudiar y tener donde vivir. También es tener a la familia unida. Así es como comienza mi sueño pero el sueño no es de una sola persona, es de toda la familia. Hay muchas familias viviendo en esta situación en los Estados Unidos actualmente.

Cuando yo escuché a King decir en su discurso “Yo tengo un sueño”, sentí que yo también tenía un sueño y para conseguir ese sueño necesito luchar. Ahora es tiempo para estudiar, prepararme y estar listo para cambiar mi vida. Un país que esta separado es más débil , mientras que un país que esta unido es más fuerte y poderoso. Yo quiero un país más fuerte, más poderoso y más inteligente donde vivir. Ese país es los Estados Unidos de América.

rampo Caralampio y Grama Cuca estaban sitting at the breakfast table esa mañana. Estaban speaking en español. En ese momento.

Canutito came in a comer su breakfast.

“Buenos días, m’hijo,” they both said to him.

“Good Larry Torres morning,” Canutito Growing up replied to Spanglish them both.

Grampo looked at grama and said, “Es verdad what people say, Cuca. Los padres de hoy en día siembran chile verde y salen bell peppers.”

Canutito sat down en su silla rubbing sus ojos. He translated lo que grampo had said: “ ‘Today’s parents plant green chili and up sprout bell peppers.’ What does todo eso mean, grampo?” he asked.

“Eso quiere decir que we speak to you en español pero you tend to hacernos answer en inglés,” said grampo taking un sip de su café. “Los bell peppers look un poco como el chile verde pero they don’t have el mismo kind of flavor.

They are not picantes como el green chili.” He took otro drink de su café y continuó: “Likewise, you look un poco como nosotros y cuando tú haces speak in English we understand you pero — what can I say? — Spanish es el language of God.” “Do you really think que el español es el idioma de Dios, grampo?”

Canutito asked him.

“Pus, chur, m’hijo,” grampo replied. “In fact, el proverbio en español says that to speak of amor, use French. Para hablar con Dios, usa español. And para hablar con los caballos, use German.”

“That is not muy nice of a cosa to say about los alemanes, grampo,” Canutito said.

“I didn’t make up el proverbio,” grampo retorted. “In any case,” grampo continued, “you should try to practicar hablando el español más. Why, I remember los good ole days cuando we didn’t even hablar en inglés en la escuela.”

“Really, grampo?” Canutito asked him. “Were your clases really done in Spanish? I mean, were todas las clases como math y science en español?”

“Oh sí,” grampo confirmed.

“I remember una vez cuando la teacher said to me, ‘Caralampio, name a un insecto.’ Well, el único insect que I knew era un grasshopper so I answered ‘un chapulín.’

Ella estaba toda impressed y pensó que yo era muy smart. Then she said again, ‘Now name otro insecto.’ I replied, ‘Otro chapulín.’

That’s when la teacher hizo realize que yo no era tan smartote as she had first thought.”

“How long were kids allowed de hablar en español en la escuela, grampo?” Canutito asked.

“I believe que it was como hasta los early 1960s. It wasn’t until hasta que asasinaron al Presidente Kennedy que we realized que we were all americanos just like todas las otras personas en los United States. Pero entonces también all started to change. Nobody took the speaking of Spanish en serio any more. Los hippies, los Chicanos y la guerra de Vietnam changed the language que we used to speak aquí en la parte norte de New Mexico. Now éramos parte del rest of the world.

“Did anyone try to speak Spanish correctly after that? Canutito asked.

“A few ladies formaron un club called ‘Las Damas de Santa Fe’ y they would meet para practicar el español, pero not much else was done además de eso,” Grama Cuca said. “Pero esa es la nature del language,” she continued. “Language changes con el tiempo, y nada remains lo mismo.”

“Entonces maybe I should hacerle el trai de speak more in Spanish,” Canutito said. “I don’t want to turn into un bell pepper. Yo quiero ser más como un chile verde. Yo quiero tener flavor and be picante.”

Google hopes that its smart contact lens will help diabetics monitor blood sugar levels. COURTESY OF GOOGLE

Google eyes aiding diabetics Smart lens may bring end to painful testing of blood-sugar levels

By Hayley Tsukayama The Washington Post

Wearable devices are already bringing technology much closer to you than you ever might have expected, but Google’s just kicked it up to a whole new level.

The company has announced a project to make a smart contact lens. But this gadget isn’t going to be used to deliver your email straight into your skull — at least not yet. This project is working to tackle one of the biggest health problems facing the country today: diabetes.

Given the wariness around wearable devices and their capabilities for data collection, the idea that the company would get that much closer raises the question: How will Google handle this data? Or, for that matter, how can any commercial company stepping into a new world of collecting sensitive medical data deal with the security concerns?

It’s a question that Google’s clearly thought a lot about, said Joseph Lorenzo Hall, chief technologist at the Center for Democracy and Technology, who was briefed on the lens before the

company’s Thursday announcement. Hall said that Google assured him that the data would not be added to the company’s banks of personal information gathered from other servers.

“The data will never hit Google’s servers,” he said. “That’s a forward-thinking affirmative claim that they’re making. That is important.”

The soft contact lens that Google’s is introducing — it’s still a prototype — houses a sensor between two layers of lenses that measures the glucose levels in tears. A pinhole in the lens lets tear fluid seep over the glucose monitor to get regular readings.

Right now, the company said, it can get a level reading every second. The lens also features a tiny antenna, capacitor and controller, so that the information gathered from the lens can move from your eye to a device such as a handheld monitor, where that data can be read and analyzed.

It will draw its power from that device and communicate with it using a wireless technology known as RFID. Given the sensitive nature of the data, Hall said, Google has also said that it will make sure any data transferred from the lens will be insulated against anyone who might want to change its readings — something that could have potentially fatal con-

sequences if patients inject the wrong amount of insulin. Google also has worked to build in safeguards against other kinds of problems, such as a piece that’s a little like a circuit-breaker to prevent the lens from overheating.

The National Diabetes Education Program estimates 382 million people and 25.8 million Americans have diabetes. That means that every day — multiple times a day — more than 8 percent of people in this country have to take time out of their day to prick themselves to test their blood levels. And because the process is so uncomfortable and difficult, it’s becomes hard for a lot of people to properly manage the disease.

Or, as Google project cofounders Brian Otis and Babak Parviz said in the post: “Although some people wear glucose monitors with a glucose sensor embedded under their skin, all people with diabetes must still prick their finger and test drops of blood throughout the day. It’s disruptive, and it’s painful. And as a result, many people with diabetes check their blood glucose less often than they should.”

Physicians and medical researchers have thought about ways to measure glucose through the fluid in the eye for years, but have had trouble figuring out how best to capture and analyze those tears reliably.

Some companies, such as EyeSense, have developed their own products to embed sensors in the eye to measure these levels, while other companies such as Freedom Meditech have explored measuring glucose levels through the eye by using light.

But Google, tapping Parviz’s deep knowledge of biotech, has come up with this solution. Parviz — who once led the Google Glass team — and Otis were colleagues at the University of Washington before moving over to Google’s department for developing “moonshot” projects, Google[x]. The company is still in the early days of the smart contact lens project, but said that it is in discussions with the Food and Drug Administration to figure out how to bring the product to market in the future.

Hall said the potential to improve a way to monitor diabetes is exciting, but noted Google’s security is not the only system that users have to worry about.

“One thing I do worry about is mobile security itself. It is a miasma and the app that’s developed to use with this is probably going to be made by someone else,” he said. “Whoever is making that app will have to answer those questions. But they haven’t been answered yet because we haven’t gotten that far down the line.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Technology companies and industry groups took President Barack Obama’s speech on U.S. surveillance as a step in the right direction, but chided him for not embracing more dramatic reforms to protect people’s privacy and the economic interests of American companies that generate most of their revenue overseas.

“The president’s speech was empathetic, balanced and thoughtful, but insufficient to meet the real needs of our globally connected world and a free Internet,” said Ed Black, president of the Computer & Communications Industry Association, a group that represents Google, Microsoft, Facebook and other technology companies upset about the NSA’s broad surveillance of online communications.

On Friday, the president called for ending the government’s control of phone data from hundreds of millions of Americans and ordered intelligence agencies to get a court’s permission before accessing such records. He also issued a directive that intelligencegathering can’t be employed to suppress criticism of the United States or provide a competitive advantage to U.S. companies.

Eight of the world’s best-known technology companies underscored their common interest in curbing the NSA by releasing a joint, measured critique of Obama’s proposal.

“Additional steps are needed on other important issues, so we’ll continue to work with the administration and Congress to keep the momentum going and advocate for reforms consistent with the principles we outlined in December,” said the statement from Google, Apple, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and AOL. But nothing he said is likely to diminish the potential losses facing the U.S. tech industry, said Daniel Castro, a senior analyst for the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a Washington, D.C., think tank. The ITIF estimates that the doubts raised by the NSA spying could cost U.S. companies as much as $35 billion over the next three years.

In the aftermath of recent NSA leaks, the companies set aside their competitive differences to come together and urge Obama to curtail the NSA’s online snooping and lift restrictions that prevent companies from publicly disclosing specifics about how frequently they are asked to turn over their users’ personal information in the name of national security.

Solar plants cashing in on Mojave Desert sun Largest able to generate as much electricity as coal or natural-gas-fired power facilities

By Lenny Bernstein

The Washington Post

IVANPAH VALLEY, Calif.

— Tower One glows white, so bright against the pale, blue sky that even at mid-afternoon in the Mojave Desert it would be easy to conclude it is designed to illuminate the valley floor below.

In fact, hundreds of thousands of glittering mirrors, carefully arranged across a broad swath of desert, reflect sunlight upward onto the tower and two others like it, heating them to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit and causing the glow. Water in big pipes atop the towers turns to steam. The steam spins turbines, which generate electricity.

If all goes well, the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System will send that power across the Golden State early this year, becoming the largest solar plant in the world to concentrate the sun’s rays to produce electricity.

Such utility-size solar plants are beginning to appear across the U.S., with 232 under construction, in testing or granted permits, many in the Southwest and California, according to the Edison Electric Institute, which represents utilities.

The scale of the largest plants is difficult to imagine in the eastern part of the country, where a relative lack of available open land and unobstructed sunlight have limited solar facilities to perhaps a tenth the size of the West’s plants. But in the West, ample sun, wide-open spaces, financial incentives, falling costs and state mandates have made big solar plants possible.

“Right now, you’re seeing the gold rush of renewable [energy] projects coming on line,” said Fong Wan, senior vice president for energy procurement at Pacific Gas and Electric, the big Northern California utility that has purchased about two-thirds of the electricity the Ivanpah plant will produce.

But even as the largest plants are helping utilities meet state requirements for renewable energy, the appetite for them may be waning, according to experts. The next phase of solar development — especially in the East — might feature smaller projects located closer to cities. Environmental groups want regulators to look at sites such as landfills and

industrial zones before allowing construction in largely undisturbed environments such as deserts.

“Part of the beauty is that solar is scalable, literally from the back of a cellphone all the way to a million panels in the desert,” said Rhone Resch, president and chief executive officer of the Solar Energy Industries Association.

The very largest plants, like BrightSource Energy’s $2.5 billion Ivanpah system and the Topaz Solar Farm, which will produce current with 9 million photovoltaic panels, can generate as much electricity as a coal or natural-gas-fired power plant.

But there is still a long way

to go. In 2012, coal and natural gas plants produced 37 percent and 30 percent of U.S. electricity, respectively, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, while wind generated 3.5 percent and solar just 0.1 percent.

And the road to big solar energy’s development has been difficult. Lawsuits against the large plants accuse developers and the federal government of spoiling the fragile desert environment and the habitats of wildlife there. On Dec. 13, the California Energy Commission tentatively refused to permit another BrightSource project because of its concerns that super-heated plumes of

air from the towers and mirrors might harm birds. A small number of singed dead birds have turned up at Ivanpah, according to media reports.

Ivanpah is a “concentrating solar” thermal plant. The better-known variety — like the flat solar panels on homes — convert sunlight directly into electricity via photovoltaic cells.

The price of those panels has dropped so low that those plants are much cheaper to build than facilities that use the sun’s heat to turn water to steam.

Thermal plants like Ivanpah have advantages — they are more reliable — but their futures might depend on finding some way to store heat so power is available whenever needed.

“The benefit of a thermal solar plant like Ivanpah is it’s not subject to the wild swings in production that a [photovoltaic] plant is,” said Randy Hickok, senior vice president of NRG Solar, which holds a majority stake in the project.

Another major investor is Google.

Environmental groups, for their part, have sometimes found themselves in the awkward position of choosing between their dual goals of protecting desert species and promoting clean, renewable energy.

The powerful Sierra Club,

for example, chose not to side with other, smaller groups that sued the Interior Department and its Bureau of Land Management to block Ivanpah over the damage they said it would do to the threatened desert tortoise’s habitat on federal land.

The Sierra Club was not happy about Ivanpah’s impact, but it took no position, said Bruce Nilles, director of its Beyond Coal campaign.

At the Ivanpah plant, an initial survey showed that construction would displace only a small number of desert tortoises, but as work began, it became clear that many more were living there.

The company has spent $56 million to build fences and raise tortoises in its “Head Start” pen, where 55 have been born in captivity and will be fitted with devices that allow biologists to follow them when they are returned to the desert. Though two hatchlings were lost to fire ants, Desmond said that the species’ survival rate is much higher under BrightSource’s care than it is in the wild.

Responded Connor: “That’s like arguing it’s OK to pave the desert over because we can move all the animals to a zoo.”

To mitigate its impact, Ivanpah’s owners spent $11.4 million to purchase and manage 7,000 acres of habitat for tortoises.

ell, as they say, better late than never. Two columns ago, I promised to share my “fail-safe, moneyback guaranteed formula for getting kids to eat everything on their plates.” Then, as if I was in my 60s or something, I forgot and wrote a column about kids who argue constantly with their parents. Consider this my mea culpa or, as the young say, “My bad.”

Yes, it is possible to get kids to eat everything on their plates — spinach, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, you name it. Why, in the American Southeast, it is common for toddlers to eat something called livermush.

Compared to livermush, broccoli is like ice cream (to me, anyway). Nonetheless, a kid who scarfs down livermush will refuse broccoli.

John Why do so many of today’s kids have Rosemond picky palates? Some people with capital Living With letters after their names say it’s because Children their taste buds send weird signals to their brains when they eat certain foods. That explanation cannot be verified; therefore, it is a theory, and a bad one at that. And so what if something initially tastes weird? When I was a kid, I thought spinach tasted weird. I ate it anyway and learned eventually to love it.

My parents didn’t give me a choice. That’s the real reason kids have picky palates — parents give choices.

Since the parenting revolution of the 1960s, experts have been encouraging parents to give children choices. And so — as in last week’s column — today’s parents complain about children who argue with them about “everything.” They also complain that their kids won’t eat what’s put on their plates.

“My child won’t eat anything but [some form of junk food].”

Yes, he will eat something besides junk. Here’s the simple, tested, certified, three-step plan: 1. Fix the picky eater what YOU want him to eat for breakfast and lunch. If he does not eat it, wrap it or toss it. Do not allow him to snack between meals, even if he’s eaten nothing all day. You have to stop wanting him to eat. He will live, I assure you. My lawyer said I could tell you that.

2. Prepare the evening meal with no consideration of said picky eater’s food preferences. On his plate, put one level teaspoon of each food, as in one teaspoon of roast beef, one teaspoon of mashed potatoes with a few drops of gravy (“He loves mashed potatoes and gravy!”), and one teaspoon of broccoli.

The rule then becomes: When the child has eaten EVERYTHING on his plate, he may have seconds of ANYTHING, and the second helping of whatever — in this case, mashed potatoes and gravy — can be as large as his eyes are big.

3. It will take a week or so and much complaining and maybe even pitiful wailing in the interim, but he will eventually begin eating the green, weird-tasting thing. At that point, begin slowly increasing the portion size of the green thing, but do not increase the portion of the thing(s) he loves. Keep them at one teaspoon. Within a month, he will be eating a regular-size portion of foods his palate would not accept previously, upon which you can begin increasing the portion size of things he loves, but not past the point where he can eat his favorite things and not be hungry.

The key to success is that the child’s parents do not sit at the table encouraging him to “just try” the food he hates.

DAVID LOUGHRIDGE, 1980-2014

Meow Wolf contributor remembered for giving nature

By Robert Nott The New Mexican

A man described by friends as one of the kindest people in Santa Fe died early Sunday morning in Albuquerque after suffering a bout of cardiac arrest.

David Loughridge, 33, was a long-standing member of the edgy artistic group Meow Wolf.

He was an actor, set designer, photographer and a man who often worked behind the scenes and thus had his contributions remain anonymous, friends said.

“He was a driving force behind

a lot of the projects that we worked on together, and he was always there to pick up the hard tasks and get them down for Meow David Wolf,” said Loughridge Sean Di Ianni.

“Sometimes he would give so much of himself that he wouldn’t have anything left for himself. He was that kind of person.”

“David was so generous that at first people did not take him

Rogers said the budget would continue a four-year trend of cutting discretionary spending, helping limit the deficit while “reducing regulatory burdens, fortifying our national security and enforcing stringent oversight on the executive branch.” An opponent, Rep.

Reed said the extension would help people who are still looking for work in a difficult job market and help the economy by providing the unemployed with $300 a week “to help them pay their rent, pay their mortgage, put fuel in their car, have a cellphone so they can look for work, get to a job interview.” An opponent, Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan., said the bill failed to address the root cause of unemployment, namely the lack of growth and job creation in the U.S. economy.

Weather: The great political divider

T

he time and temperature sign at 49th Street and the Avenue of the Americas in midtown Manhattan hit 57 degrees when I walked by last week. By night, New York City was reeling in 12-degree temperatures.

While cold weather Michael engulfed Smerconish the Eastern The Philadelphia United States, Inquirer with the freeze line extending to Tampa, I was wondering how the frigid weather experienced by 180 million Americans could support the global-warming model for climate change.

When I asked Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at Rutgers University, to explain the connection, she offered a compelling view (which I will share in a moment), but our conversation left me wondering how her profession ever became subject to partisan divide.

I get that Republicans and Democrats disagree on such things as whether to extend emergency unemployment compensation or raise the minimum wage. On such issues, the parties are guided by a basic economic outlook.

Republicans pride themselves on rewarding individual initiative and preserving the ability of small businesses to run themselves without government interference. The Democrats’ aim is to preserve the safety net for the most needy and argue for an honest wage.

But why does partisanship extend to other areas without regard for symmetry and logic?

Why, for example, is it likely that a person who opposes the extension of unemployment benefits and raising of the minimum wage probably champions Second Amendment rights and supports the death penalty? Similarly, I’ll bet most of those who’d extend unemployment and boost the minimum wage are pro-choice and once opposed the surge in Iraq. My suspicion is that

OUR VIEW

Wage fight worth having

N when it comes to confounding matters of public policy, some abstain by picking sides based on our comfort level with possible teammates, causing even matters such as climate change to be viewed as a political Rorschach test.

Earlier this month, Rush Limbaugh made clear he isn’t buying into the “polar vortex.”

Donald Trump went on Fox and referenced “this whole global-warming hoax,” poking fun at the “global-warming scientists” and their frozen ship at the South Pole. He also managed to work in a dig at former Vice President Al Gore. (“He’s the one who’s the big proponent.”)

From the left, Jon Stewart was quick to respond by lampooning a number of Fox personalities and their failure to distinguish between opinion and fact. Stephen Colbert did likewise. Even Al Roker got into the action. After hammering Limbaugh on Twitter, he went on the Today show to address the charge that the polar vortex was “some leftwing media conspiracy.”

When I asked Francis how her area of expertise became such cannon fodder, she was quick to point out that not all Republicans are disbelieving of the perils posed by greenhouse-gas emissions. “I don’t think it’s a clean political slice down the line,” she said.

“But that said, in certain parties there’s more business interest related to fossil-fuel industries and, of course, if we decide we don’t want to use fossil fuels anymore, then they stand to lose a lot of money, so there’s a big financial stake there,” Francis said. “I think there may also be some religious component to it, and some people believe that humans could never do something like this, and perhaps God would not allow us to do something like this, so there are different beliefs out there that come into play that are difficult to change people’s minds when they’re so ingrained.”

I weighed her answer just as Pew Research released a survey that showed 60 percent of Americans believe in evolution, while a third do not. That latter number has remained constant in the last few years.

What’s changed is the gap between Republicans and Democrats. According to Pew, “just five years ago, 54 percent of Republicans and 64 percent of Democrats said humans have evolved over time, a difference of 10 percentage points. Today, 43 percent of Republicans and 67 percent of Democrats say humans have evolved, a 24-point gap.”

No surprise, then, that there’s strong suspicion about climate change when only 43 percent of the GOP believe

in evolution. And if my theory about choosing sides based on teammates is correct, I’ll bet the doubts began with Gore’s championing of the issue.

As for why the extreme weather comports with her model of climate change, Francis reminded me that right now, Alaska is warmer than Atlanta, the former having had a very warm month of December. Meanwhile, California is experiencing one of its driest years ever. Across the pond, the United Kingdom is being pounded by storm after storm, while Scandinavia is having one of its warmest winters.

Francis sees this as all related.

“So the connection to climate change, we think, is that what we’re seeing is the jet stream taking these kind of very wild swings north and south more often now,” Francis said. “And we believe that’s related to the fact that the Arctic is warming so much faster than the rest of the country. …

When we make this difference in temperature between the Arctic and areas farther south smaller, which is what is happening as the Arctic warms so fast, the jet stream responds to this by becoming more wavy, so we think this is at least one factor that’s connected to the increasing frequency of these kinds of extreme weather events, all around the Northern Hemisphere.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

City needs to retain young designers

I

own a five- to seven-person architecture firm in Santa Fe. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the largest segment of workers dropping out of the market between the ages of 35 and 45 are architects. While there are no hard statistics as to why, low wages, expensive housing and large school loans all contribute. Architecture has a long history in our region and is one of the major contributors to what makes the City Different … different.

As a business owner, I am passionate about encouraging young people to join (and stay) with our profession — design and construction is a major contributor to the economy (and culture) of Santa Fe. I support the development of creative business incubators, including live-work space and affordable housing in order to provide opportunities for young design professionals to stay in Santa Fe.

A positive experience Recently, I had a medical emergency, which required three surgeries in six days at Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center. The doctors saved my life. They were incredible in their performance.

I spent nine days in the hospital and had many different staff members assist me along the way.

The vast majority of them were professional, courteous and enjoyable to work with.

Hey, even the food wasn’t bad!

I owe my life to these people and this facility, and I want to thank them all and let our community know that my experience there was very positive.

ews that New Mexico Democrats are pushing a statewide minimum wage of $10 is welcome both on the policy and the political front.

Last year, Republican Gov. Susana Martinez vetoed an increase in the minimum wage to $8.50 (on Good Friday, no less). This year, Democrats are going to try to use a constitutional amendment to raise wages. That means the governor can’t veto the increase, should it pass the Legislature. We agree with the Martinez administration that a Constitutional amendment is not the best way to set wages. We would prefer the governor and Legislature to agree on an amount, set that, include some sort of automatic increase and have both parties vote to improve wages for working people. Martinez did support an increase last year — but only to $7.80, because she felt that kept New Mexico competitive with surrounding states.

That was too low.

With both Santa Fe and Albuquerque setting higherthan-required minimum wages, it’s good for the rest of the state to join in.

Nationally, Congress could put side-by-side comparisons to rest by raising the minimum wage across the country.

Congressional Democrats want a $10.10-an-hour wage, bringing up the lowest-paid workers in increments of 95 cents. With some 3.8 million workers paid at or below the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour (2011 figures), it’s clear that millions of Americans are working for too little to cover the basic necessities of life. Had the minimum wage kept up with inflation, it would be around $10.40 today.

Santa Fe — at $10.51 an hour, increasing to around $10.65 an hour in March — is right where it should be, in other words. Albuquerque voters approved a wage hike by referendum in 2012; that city’s wage went to $8.60 an hour this Jan. 1.

Politically, a divide on the minimum wage will help voters decide how to vote in November. Perhaps rather than a constitutional amendment, the governor and Democrats could work together for an $8.50 hourly wage, since it seems unlikely that Congress will act despite movement in cities and counties across the country.

The past 100 years From The Santa Fe New Mexican: Jan. 20, 1914: Advertisement — “To increase your profits, increase your sales — To increase your sales advertise in the daily newspapers.” Bill Wise Advertisement — IF YOU BUSINESS MEN only realized the business-building power of first-class stationery, you would choose your own Bond Paper and not intrust (sic) its selection to a subordinate — And, if you wanted to make your business stationery 100% efficient — you would specify A COUPON BOND The De Luxe Business Paper because by comparison you would find that COUPON BOND is far beyond the average Bond paper in quality — character — impressiveness, and all that makes stationery really productive. Let us show you samples. NEW MEXICAN PRINTING COMPANY, AGENTS. Jan. 20, 1964: Striking evidence of the effectiveness of fluoridation of the Santa Fe city water supply in providing better teeth for Santa Fe children is contained in a report on pre-fluoridation studies conducted by the Division of Dental Health, New Mexico Department of Public Health. The report compares the results of two dental surveys conducted among children aged 6 and 7 with lifetime residency in Santa Fe. The first survey was held in 1956, just before the city water supply was adjusted to optimum fluoride content. After seven years of fluoridation, there had been a marked increase in the percentage of children in this age group whose teeth, including both baby teeth and permanent teeth, showed no evidence of dental decay.

Jan. 20, 1989: Two Santa Fe legislators Thursday protested a proposal to create a 23,000-acre landfill in southwestern New Mexico, a project one of the lawmakers said would be the biggest garbage dump in the nation and one that would draw trash from other states. The application for the landfill was described as “confidential” in memorials introduced in both legislative chambers.

Seahawks knock out Niners in rival clash

AFC CHAMPIONSHIP BRONCOS 26, PATRIOTS 16

Seattle rallies from an early deficit to earn NFC title, Super Bowl berth

By Bob Condotta The Seattle Times

SEATTLE — It was frustrating. Then dizzying. Then nail-biting.

Ultimately, though, it ended in partying for the Seahawks, who rallied from an early 10-point deficit to beat their rival San Seahawks 23 Francisco 49ers 23-17 49ers 17 and advance to Super Bowl XLVIII, doing so to the delight of a CenturyLink record crowd of 68,454.

Seattle, which outscored the 49ers 20-7 in the second half, put the game away when Richard Sherman batted a pass in the San Francisco end zone into the hands of linebacker Malcolm Smith with 22 seconds left.

That came after the 49ers drove from their own 22 with 3:32 left to the 18, appearing ready to steal the game — and the NFC title — away from the Seahawks.

But it was fittingly a Seattle defense that led the NFL this year that made the game-winning — and season-making — play.

As the game ended, Seahawks players and some fans, gathered at midfield in celebration of what is the franchise’s second Super Bowl berth in 38 years, and the culmination of the rebuilding plan of coach Pete Carroll, who the team hired away from USC following a dismal 2009 campaign.

“This feels even sweeter,” said owner Paul Allen as he accepted the George S. Halas Trophy as the NFC champion for the second time, the other coming following the 2005 season.

With just three players remaining from the roster they inherited, Carroll and general manager John Schneider crafted a team that went 13-3 in the regular season to earn the home field advantage, and then rode that to the Super Bowl.

“This team was ready to finish,” Carroll said of Seattle’s second-half comeback.

ENVER — Peyton Manning stuffed the football into his helmet and handed it to an equipment man for safekeeping.

The connection: Flawless, as usual.

The keepsake: Certainly one he’ll want to hang on to.

The Broncos quarterback had an answer for everyone Sunday — from Tom Brady to the New England defense to anyone who thought he couldn’t win the big one.

Manning is taking the Broncos on a trip to New York for the Super Bowl after another of his impeccably crafted victories — this time, a 26-16 win over the Patriots on Sunday in the AFC title game.

“Being in my 16th season, going to my third Super Bowl, I know how hard it is to get there,” Manning said.

Especially this time.

Only three years ago, he could barely grip a football as he started the long comeback from surgeries that ravaged his neck and nerve endings. And only 53 weeks ago, he suffered a devastating loss to Baltimore in the divisional playoffs that derailed what looked like a Super Bowl trip in his comeback season.

ENVER — He was zippernecked and lax-armed compared with his youth, yet Peyton Manning was never better.

A 37-year-old with metal in his vertebrae won a trip back to the Super Bowl, and as a mere byproduct, he made fools of his doubters. If their point was that he was weak-minded

— that was the implication wasn’t it, when they said Manning didn’t get enough done in big games? — he laid the question to rest with a performance that was all head and weldedtogether backbone.

For sheer quarterbacking command, for timing, recognition, disguise and tough-mindedness, how about 400 passing yards with a 74 percent completion rate and two touchdown drives that ate up more

than seven minutes apiece. They prevented the supposed epic confrontation, Manning and the recordsetting Denver Broncos against the more-decorated Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, from ever materializing. Instead Manning flatly sidelined his rivals with a mechanistic excellence that was life-sucking.

The final score in their AFC championship game was 26-16, and it was deceptive because it didn’t indicate

Putin welcomes all to Sochi, but calls for ‘cleanse’ of gays in Russia

Ivanovic snaps Williams’ extended winning streak

By Lynn Berry

The Associated Press

MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin has offered new assurances to gay athletes and fans attending the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics next month. Yet he defended Russia’s anti-gay law by equating gays with pedophiles and said Russia needs to “cleanse” itself of homosexuality if it wants to increase its birth rate.

Putin’s comments in an interview broadcast Sunday with Russian and foreign television stations showed the wide gulf between the perception of homosexuality in Russia versus the West.

A Russian law passed last year banning “propaganda of nontraditional sexual

“

relations” among minors has caused an international outcry.

Putin refused to answer a question from the BBC on whether he believes that people are born gay or become gay. The Russian law, however, suggests that information about homosexuality can influence a child’s sexual orientation.

The law has contributed to growing animosity toward gays in Russian society, with rights activists reporting a rise in harassment and abuse.

Again, I don’t want to blame anything. I feel like Ana deserves all the credit. I feel she played unbelievable today. I think she went for her shots. It’s not like I gave her the match.”

Title favorite tumbles in 4th round, reveals back injury

By Dennis Passa

The Associated Press

MELBOURNE, Australia — Moments before she started pounding the first of her many winners past Serena Williams at the Australian Open, Ana Ivanovic listened intently to the announcer on Rod Laver Arena outlining the extraordinary accomplishments of the woman soon to be across the net from her.

Williams, a five-time champion at Melbourne Park, won 78 of her 82 matches in

2013, and she was coming into the fourth round on the second-longest winning streak of her career — 25 matches.

It was her 70th match at the Australian Open, a record in the Open Era. And then, of course, there’s the 17 major singles championships.

“When we were starting the match, and they were talking about all her Grand Slam titles, it was quite impressive,” Ivanovic said, recalling the prematch introductions. “But I didn’t think much about the occasion and who I was playing, because it can get overwhelming.”

True to her word, Ivanovic, who had

SPORTS WINTER OLYMPICS

Jones, Williams join U.S. bobsled team

By Tim Reynolds

The Associated Press

Lauryn Williams and Lolo Jones have been selected for the U.S. bobsled team that will compete in next month’s Sochi Olympics.

They are now positioned to join a group of eight other Americans who have competed in both the Summer and Winter Games. Williams is a three-time summer Olympian who helped the U.S. win a gold medal in the 400-meter relay at the London Games. Jones is a two-time veteran of the summer games in the 100-meter hurdles, missing out on gold in Beijing after a late stumble.

Jones, Williams and Aja Evans were the three women chosen out of a six-woman pool for the push athlete spots, that word

coming at a team meeting where half the candidates saw their Olympic dreams realized and the other half saw them come to a quiet end.

“I was definitely very nervous entering the room,” Jones said. “I’m usually used to looking up at a screen after I cross the finish line to see the results. You’re just like anxious, armpits are sweating, don’t know what’s going to happen.”

Jones was one hurdle away from winning gold at the Beijing Olympics, then finished fourth at the London Games.

Looking for a break from the spotlight but not sports, she turned to bobsled in the fall of 2012, winning a World Cup medal in her first race and quickly announcing herself as a legit Sochi contender.

Then she recruited Williams after the 2012 400-meter relay gold medalist and

former world champion sprinter retired from track, talking her into the bobsled game.

And all Williams has done as a rookie is help the U.S. win three medals in her four World Cup races, including a gold on Sunday.

“I joined bobsled just to be a helper and to add positive energy to the team,” Williams said. “If my name wasn’t called, I wasn’t going to be upset. I’ve enjoyed this journey. I’ve enjoyed getting to know everyone. I’ve enjoyed the challenge.”

The U.S. qualified three men’s two-man sleds and two four-man sleds for Sochi.

Reigning Olympic four-man champion Steven Holcomb will drive USA-1 and Nick Cunningham will be at the control of USA-2 in four-man. Cory Butner will drive the other two-man entry.

Sochi: Putin links gays to pedophiles Continued from Page B-1 International worries about how gays will be treated in Sochi have been met with assurances from Russian officials and Olympics organizers that there will be no discrimination, and Putin reiterated that stance.

“There are no fears for people with this nontraditional orientation who plan to come to Sochi as guests or participants,” Putin declared in the TV interview.

He said the law was aimed at banning propaganda of homosexuality and pedophilia, suggesting that gays are more likely to abuse children.

Making another favorite argument against homosexuality, Putin noted with pride that Russia saw more births than deaths last year for the first time in two decades. Population growth is vital for Russia’s development and “anything that gets in the way of that we should clean up,” he said, using a word usually reserved for military operations.

The law on propaganda has been used to justify barring gay pride rallies on the grounds that children might see them. This has raised the question of how athletes and fans would be treated for any gay-rights protests during the Olympics.

When asked about this by the ABC TV

channel, Putin said protests against the law itself would not be considered propaganda.

Putin then hit back, accusing the United States of double standards in its criticism of Russia, pointing to laws that remain on the books in some U.S. states classifying gay sex as a crime. The U.S. Supreme Court, however, ruled in 2003 that such laws were unconstitutional.

Homosexuality was a crime in the entire former Soviet Union, which collapsed in 1991. It was decriminalized in Russia in 1993.

BASEBALL COMMENTARY

MLB players’ criticism of steroids? All noise

By Bernie Miklasz

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

W

hen the Cardinals signed shortstop Jhonny Peralta to a fouryear, free-agent contract worth $53 million, two MLB pitchers went on Twitter to bark.

“It pays to cheat. Thanks, owners, for encouraging PED use,” Arizona pitcher Brad Ziegler tweeted.

And there was this tweet from David Ardsma: “Apparently getting suspended for PED’s means you get a raise. What’s stopping anyone from doing it?”

The pitchers were upset because Peralta agreed to a 50-game suspension for violating MLB’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs. Other MLB players, including Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday, have suggested much harsher penalties for PED cheaters.

Even taking the step of instituting a oneand-done banishment: If you’re caught cheating, then you are gone for good.

Banned from baseball. No second chances.

Find another way to make a living.

At the time, I wrote that this was nothing more than tough-guy posturing. Anyone can go on Twitter or a radio station and pop off; it’s another thing to take action that leads to real change.

I made the point: If players really wanted to penalize the cheaters among them, then they needed to unite and take a stand. Go to their union leadership. Push for much harsher penalties. Do whatever was necessary to prevent Peralta or any other future PED violator from cashing in.

Making a firm stand on principle requires real backbone.

I assumed that enough MLB players agreed with Ziegler and Ardsma, and so we’d see pressure put on the Major League Players Association to come down harder on PED cheats.

What about voiding the guaranteed contracts of players who are caught cheating?

That idea was floated. Makes sense. If you’re caught, then you relinquish all guaranteed money that remains in the agreement.

Get caught, and the team can immediately terminate the contract. No more obligations. No more guarantees. No more paychecks.

This measure would surely catch the players’ attention.

Guys can handle getting docked for a 50-game suspension. But to foolishly take the risk of using a banned supplement and gambling with your contract — a deal that would pay you millions and millions of guaranteed dollars over several years?

That could work as a so-called deterrent.

Given all of this tough talk coming from players, the MLB Players Association must be warming to the suggestion of terminating the guaranteed contracts of drug cheats.

Right?

Umm … no.

In an interview with The Associated Press, here’s what MLBPA Director Tony Clark had to say when asked if the players would agree to terminate contracts as part of the punishment for PED cheats: “I’d venture to guess that even though there are concerns on a number of levels, that we will never end up in a world where player contracts are voided as a result,” Clark told the AP. Well, OK then.

Profiles in courage!

Put in place in 2006 the agreement between the MLB and the Players Association includes 50-game suspensions for a first positive test for PEDs, a 100-game suspension for a second offense, and a lifetime ban for a third.

The MLB Players Association has said it is willing to discuss the idea of imposing tougher sanctions — which is something that interests MLB commissioner Bud Selig.

I don’t know what will come out of that.

I do give credit to the MLBPA for agreeing to the penalties that already are in place.

But if the players really want to match their principles with their tweets, what better way to do it than agreeing to cancel the guaranteed contracts of players who flunk a test or who are hit with a lengthy suspension as specified by the collective bargaining agreement negotiated by the union and the owners? If a player wants to get paid his guaranteed money, he has one simple responsibility: don’t break the PED rules. Stay clean.

That’s all.

So why would the players and their union oppose this minimal requirement?

If they’re so concerned about PED cheats being rewarded, this is one way to work to put an end to it.

Taking money away from cheaters would be a more meaningful way of tackling the problem than, say, trolling on Twitter.

“I would argue that that concern has been there before,” Clark told the AP. “I think it was articulated in a fashion that was perhaps different this time than last.

We have a lot of players that are very passionate about the topic, and when you add in the social media component, players are confident and willing to offer that perspective. I think that’s fantastic.”

Yes, that’s really fantastic to make caustic remarks on Twitter … but decline to back it up with true action.

You know what most MLB players stand for?

Getting paid.

Period.

End of discussion.

(Unless it’s on Twitter.)

Maybe enough players will rise up and challenge the union to change its stance on guaranteed contracts. I hope so. I admire principled people who fight for what they believe in. I would enjoy writing a column praising the players for enacting policies that represent their personal values. Maybe this will still happen with the MLBPA. I wouldn’t bet my non-guaranteed paycheck on it.

Snaps: Ivanovic to face Canada’s Bouchard Continued from Page B-1 never won a set against Williams in four previous meetings, took on the biggest serve in women’s tennis without fear. And she hit pinpoint forehands — 20 of 33 winners were on that side — to all areas of the court. Williams, who later revealed she was carrying a back injury, didn’t even bother trying to chase some of them down.

Just under two hours later, it was game, set and match: 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 and an upset victory to put Ivanovic into the quarterfinals of the Australian Open for the first time since her run to the final in 2008.

“It’s not easy playing such a champion … but she is also just a human,” Ivanovic said.

“I just went out there swinging.”

Williams never got into the swing of things, at least not to way Ivanovic expected. She noticed from the outset that Williams’ serve seemed to lack its usual zip. Williams also made some very uncharacteristic errors on her backhand, a telltale sign of back pain.

“It wasn’t the best,” Williams admitted later, sounding surprised when asked

Sharapova out in another early upset MELBOURNE, Australia — Victoria Azarenka advanced to the quarterfinals and firmed as a favorite to claim a third straight Australian Open title on Monday after Maria Sharapova joined Serena Williams on the fourthround casualty list.

Azarenka had a 6-3, 6-2 win over No. 13-seeded Sloane Stephens in a match that didn’t have any of the drama of their contentious semifinal here last year.

The Associated Press

about the back injury. Her coach had let it slip after the players walked off the court that Williams had been experiencing back pain for days.

“Again, I don’t want to blame anything. I feel like Ana deserves all the credit,” Williams said. “I feel she played unbelievable

today. I think she went for her shots. It’s not like I gave her the match.”

Ivanovic will next play 19-year-old Canadian Eugenie Bouchard, who had a 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-0 win over local hope Casey Dellacqua.

The other quarterfinal in Ivanovic’s half will feature two-time finalist Li Na, who beat No. 22 Ekaterina Makarova 6-2, 6-0, and No. 28 Flavia Pennetta, who defeated No. 9 Angelique Kerber 6-1, 4-6, 7-5.

The men’s draw progressed more according to rankings when three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic and No. 3 David Ferrer advanced to the quarterfinals, along with No. 7 Tomas Berdych and No. 8 Stanislas Wawrinka.

Djokovic continued his bid for a fourth straight Australian title with a 6-3, 6-0, 6-2 win over Fabio Fognini. Ferrer beat Florian Mayer 6-7 (5), 7-5, 6-2, 6-1 and will next play Berdych, the 2010 Wimbledon finalist.

Djokovic will play Wawrinka, who finished off the Sunday night program at Rod Laver with a 6-3, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (5) win over Tommy Robredo.

Magic down Celtics to end 10-game skid The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. — Arron Afflalo had 20 points and 13 rebounds, Tobias Harris added 18 points, and the Magic snapped a seasonMagic 93 high Celtics 91 10-game losing streak with a 93-91 win over Boston on Sunday night.

After several ties in the fourth quarter, Harris hit a pair of free throws with 10.1 seconds remaining to give Orlando the victory.

The win also ends 10-game regular-season losing streak to the Celtics.

Glen Davis added 17 points, and Jameer Nelson 16 for Orlando.

Boston has lost nine straight on the road and 11 of 12 overall.

Jeff Green led the Celtics with 22 points, and Avery Bradley and Kris Humphries added 18 apiece.

Rajon Rondo had six points and four assists in his second game back from a torn ACL. SUNS 117, NUGGETS 103 In Phoenix, Channing Frye scored a season-high 30 points before sitting out the final 9½ minutes to watch the Suns wrap up their romp over Denver.

Frye, who missed all of last season for treatment of an enlarged heart, made 12 of 16 shots, 5 of 7 3-pointers, to fall three points shy of his career high.

Markieff Morris scored 16, and Goran Dragic 15 for the Suns, who never trailed and improved to 3-0 against Denver this season with one game to play.

Anthony Randolph scored a season-best 19 for the Nuggets, who have lost four of five and were without guard Randy Foye because of a stomach virus. Evan Fournier, Ty Lawson and Wilson Chandler added 17 points apiece for Denver.

THUNDER 108, KINGS 93 In Oklahoma City, Kevin Durant scored 30 points to lead the Thunder past Sacramento.

NEW YORK — A record 98 underclassmen, including Johnny Manziel and Jadeveon Clowney, have made themselves eligible for the NFL draft in May. The league released the list of early entrants Sunday and said the number has risen six straight seasons. The deadline for underclassmen to apply was Jan. 15.

Last year, 73 underclassmen entered the draft. The year before, it was 65, and in 2011, it was 56.

Also, four players who recently graduated and still have eligibility left are joining the draft class but aren’t included in the number. Most notable among those is Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater. Southern California defensive back Dion Bailey, Arizona State linebacker Carl Bradford and Alabama linebacker Adrian Hubbard also are juniors who have informed the league they have graduated.

Among the early entrants expected to be selected near the top of the draft are Manziel,

the Texas A&M quarterback, Clowney, the defensive end from South Carolina, and Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins.

The draft is May 8-10 in New York.

For the second straight season, LSU had the most players of any school to leave early. The Tigers had seven early entrants this season, including wide receivers Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr., after 11 LSU players left early last year.

Alabama and Southern California each had five leave

early, along with California. Cal, which went 1-11, has six players listed among the early entrants, but that includes defensive end Chris McCain, who was dismissed from the team in September.

National champion Florida State lost four players early, including All-America defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan and receiver Kelvin Benjamin, who caught the winning touchdown in the BCS championship game against Auburn. Notre Dame, Florida and South Carolina also had four early entrants.

Serge Ibaka added 20 points and Reggie Jackson had 16 for the Thunder, who won their third straight.

Isaiah Thomas scored a career-high 38 points for the Kings, but he slowed in the second half as the Thunder pulled away. DeMarcus Cousins added 16 points and 14 rebounds for Sacramento.

Rudy Gay scored just six points for the Kings and was ejected after picking up two technical fouls in the fourth quarter.

LAKERS 112, RAPTORS 106 In Toronto, Nick Young returned from suspension to score 29 points, Pau Gasol had 22, and Los Angeles beat the Raptors for just its third win in 15 games.

Young scored 14 points in the fourth quarter as the Lakers overcame a 19-point firsthalf deficit. They won back-toback games for the first time since beating Memphis on Dec. 17 and Minnesota on Dec. 20.

Ryan Kelly scored 17 in his first career start, and Kendall Marshall had 10 points and 11 assists. The Lakers are 16-25 at the season’s midpoint.

DeMar DeRozan scored 23 points, Kyle Lowry had 21, and Patrick Patterson 17 for Toronto, which had won six straight at home.

SPURS 110, BUCKS 82 In San Antonio, Texas, Patty Mills had 20 points, Tim Duncan had 11 points and 13 rebounds in limited action, and the Spurs kept Milwaukee winless in the new year.

Marco Belinelli scored 14 points, Jeff Ayres and Nando De Colo had 13 points apiece, and Kawhi Leonard added 11 points in 21 minutes for San Antonio.

Brandon Knight scored 21 points, Giannis Antetokounmpo added 11 points, and John Henson had 10 points and 11 rebounds for Milwaukee, which has lost nine straight.

San Antonio was without starters Tony Parker and Tiago Splitter, former starter Danny Green and 3-point specialist Matt Bonner.

Perplexing Pistons New-look roster may not be enough to save Detroit

By Noah Trister

The Associated Press

A

UBURN HILLS, Mich. — It was a night when the Detroit Pistons had a real chance to make a statement — to their own fans as much as anyone.

There was finally a bit of a buzz at the Palace — but that was mostly because of the presence of Utah rookie Trey Burke, who was a college star at Michigan before being passed over by the Pistons in last year’s draft.

With Burke in the opposing lineup and a decent crowd in attendance, Detroit had an opportunity to earn a little respect.

Instead, the Pistons lost by 21 in one of their most listless performances of the season.

“There’s a lot of things that went wrong,” guard Will Bynum said. “After having a week full of great practices, to come out and play like this, it was disappointing.”

Detroit is actually in position to make the playoffs, because most of the Eastern Conference is mired in mediocrity at the moment — but the Pistons have still been one of the NBA’s most perplexing teams this season. Detroit is 17-23, only two games better than at this point in 2012-13. That’s good enough for a spot among the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference right

now, but after the Pistons added Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings in the offseason, fans were hoping for more.

There was always going to be an adjustment period after so many significant changes — new coach Maurice Cheeks was also added during the offseason. But this season is now about half over, and it’s fair to wonder if this new-look roster will need another makeover before the stretch run.

After their poor performance at home against Utah on Friday night, the Pistons went on the road and beat Washington 10498 for their third win in four games. Smith had 22 points and eight rebounds.

“It was a disappointing and embarrassing loss last night, and we wanted to be able to come in and give as much energy as possible to beat a hot Wizards team,” Smith said after Saturday’s win. “They’ve been winning as of late, they have a pretty good team over there and we just wanted to be able to come in and match that intensity.”

The Pistons actually have a better record on the road (10-10) than they do at home (7-12) — and the sparse crowds that have become the norm at the Palace haven’t improved much this season. Some of Detroit’s most frustrating losses have come at home — the Pistons blew double-digit leads in the fourth quarter against the Los Angeles Lakers, Portland and Charlotte, and they let a nine-point lead slip away in the final period against Washington.

The question all along has been whether

the 6-foot-9 Smith, 6-foot-11 Greg Monroe and 6-foot-11 Andre Drummond can function together. The Pistons are the most prolific offensive rebounding team in the NBA, and they are averaging a league-high 51.6 points in the paint.

When Smith and Jennings are in a good rhythm, Detroit can cause matchup problems for just about anyone. The Pistons are still the only visiting team to win at Indiana this season, and they’re one of three opponents to win at Miami.

But those flashes have been brief, and the new-look lineup still looks awkward at times. Smith is a 28 percent 3-point shooter for his career and is on pace to attempt over 300 this season. His previous career high for 3-point attempts was 201 last season with Atlanta.

Defensively, the Pistons have had problems despite the shot-blocking ability of Drummond and Smith. Ten of Detroit’s last 12 opponents have made at least eight 3-pointers. Utah made nine in 22 attempts.

“We never ran them off the line,” Cheeks said. “They got into a rhythm of making 3s, and we never got into it.”

Because so many other teams in the East are struggling too, the Pistons have had plenty of time to work through their problems. With the trade deadline approaching, another slight shake-up isn’t out of the question. Ultimately, a playoff berth would represent a step in the right direction, even if Detroit isn’t all that impressive in securing it.

Larrazabal captures Abu Dhabi Championship, ends winless drought The Associated Press

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates — Spain’s Pablo Larrazabal shot a final round 67 to end a near three-year winless drought to capture the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship on Sunday.

Larrazabal, 30, won by a stroke with a 14-under par 274 on the National Course in the UAE capital.

Rory McIlroy (68), who had incurred a two-stroke penalty a day earlier, finished with a tie of second place with Phil Micklelson (69) on 13-under.

“It means a lot to win my third victory on Tour and playing against who I played today,” Larrazabal said.

“Of course, I play against myself, but I knew who I also had behind me

in Mickelson. I have just beaten two of the three most talented guys in my era, and in the last era, as well in Phil Mickelson and Rory.

Mickelson was left counting the cost of incurring a shot penalty after a double hit while playing from brush on the 13th hole of the National course.

The British Open champion, who was leading at the time, finished the hole with a triple-bogey seven.

“I was sitting at the presentation ceremony I said to myself: ‘Pablo?

What are you doing here?’ I’ve got Rory McIlroy on my left, and I am shaking the hand of Phil Mickelson on my right. It’s very special for me,” Larrazabal said after collecting the trophy.

“But it’s been a long journey and a lot of work since my last win in Munich,

and only my team and my family know how hard I have worked for this victory with no holidays, and not too many days off this winter, just working hard to arrive here properly and in form to Abu Dhabi. So, yes happy days.”

While Mickelson was returning home for his first PGA event of the New Year, at this coming week’s Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, McIlroy is returning to nearby Dubai to continue working on his game.

It is the second occasion in three years he has let slip victory in Abu Dhabi because of a rules violation.

“It happens, it happens but it never crossed my mind I might double hit it,” Mickelson said.

“I was just trying to dribble it out of the bush because I couldn’t get the

unplayable penalty lie to give me a shot without stroke and distance and I felt it was worth the risk. It not only cost a penalty shot, but it also stopped the ball from going to a spot where I could hit again.

“So after that I got refocused and got aggressive and made some birdies and gave myself a chance. If Pablo had not birdied the last hole to win, I would have gotten into a play-off, and so I give him a lot of credit for finishing the tournament off the right way,” he said.

McIlroy had been penalized for illegally brushing sand off his line on the final day of the 2012 event before losing by a stroke to England’s Robert Rock.

On Saturday, the double Major win-

ner was slapped with a two-shot penalty after being reported by the caddy of another player in not taking “full relief” from a spectator cross walk.

“I can’t describe how frustrating it is and feeling like I should be standing here at 15-under par for the tournament and winning by one,” McIlroy said.

Larrazabal moved into seventh place in the Race to Dubai and to 12th on the European Ryder Cup Team points table.

As well, the current World No. 103 ranked player should move inside the top-64 on the rankings when they are adjusted Monday and that will guarantee the Spaniard a first-ever place in next month’s Accenture Match-Play Championship in Arizona.

Broncos, Seahawks head to Super Bowl

By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press

Moment: Manning throws for 400 yards Continued from Page B-1 But Manning will get his chance for a second Super Bowl ring, after all. He’ll try to become the first starting quarterback to win one with two different teams at the Meadowlands on Feb. 2 against the Seahawks, who beat San Francisco 23-17 in the NFC title game.

“He’s been remarkable,” said Broncos coach John Fox, off to his second Super Bowl as a head coach. “It’s unprecedented what he did.”

After packing away his football, Manning ran to the 30-yard line to shake hands with Brady.

A bit later in the locker room, he celebrated with his father, Archie, and brothers Cooper and Eli, the Giants quarterback.

The Indy-turned-Denver quarterback improved to 5-10 lifetime against Brady, but is now 2-1 in AFC title games.

“I have a lot of respect for him,” Brady said. “Certainly, he’s a great player, and he played great today.”

Though Manning threw for 400 yards, it was more dinkand-dunk than a fireworks show in this, the 15th installment between the NFL’s two best quarterbacks of a generation. Manning set up four field goals by Matt Prater and put his stamp on this one with a pair of long, meticulous and mistakefree touchdown drives in which nothing came cheap.

He geared down the nohuddle, hurry-up offense that helped him set records for touchdown passes and yardage this season and made the Broncos the highest-scoring team in history. The result: 93- and 80-yard touchdown drives that each lasted more than seven minutes; they were the two longest, time-wise, of the season for the Broncos (15-3).

The Broncos held the ball for 35:44. They were 7 for 13 on third-down conversions.

“To keep Tom Brady on the sideline is a good thing,” Manning said. “That’s something you try to do when you’re playing the Patriots.”

Manning capped the second long drive with a 3-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas, who got inside the overmatched Alfonzo Dennard and left his feet to make the catch. It gave Denver a 20-3 lead midway through the third quarter.

From there, it was catch-up time for Brady and the Pats (13-5), and they are not built for that — at least not this year.

“We got in a hole there,” Brady said. “It was just too much to dig our way out.”

A team that averaged more than 200 yards on the ground the last three games didn’t have much quick-strike capability.

Brady, who threw for most of his 277 yards in comeback mode, actually led the Patriots to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. But they were a pair of time-consuming, 80-yard drives. The second cut the deficit to 26-16 with 3:07 left, but the Broncos stopped Shane Vereen on the 2-point conversion and the celebration was on in Denver.

“Losing is never easy,” Patriots defensive lineman Rob Ninkovich said. “But when you have somebody as talented as [Manning], who puts in as much work and effort, and has done it for so long, it’s a little bit easier to swallow.”

The trip to New York, where it figures to be at least a tad cooler than Sunday’s 63-degree reading at kickoff, will come 15 years after John Elway rode off into the sunset with his second straight Super Bowl victory.

The Broncos have had one close call since — when they lost at home to Pittsburgh in the 2005 season’s AFC title game — but what it really took was Elway’s return to the franchise in 2011. He slammed the door on the Tim Tebow experiment and signed Manning to a contract, knowing there were risks involved in bringing to town a 30something quarterback coming off multiple operations to resurrect his career.

Even without Von Miller on the field, Elway put enough pieces in place around Manning to move within a game of the championship. Thomas. Wes Welker (four catches, 38 yards).

Eric Decker (5-73). Tight end Julius Thomas (8-85).

“It’s been a terrific group,” Elway said as he hoisted the AFC championship trophy.

“They worked their tail off all year.”

Manning knows how to make the most of all the options he’s been given.

This game started getting out of hand at about the same time Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib went out with a knee injury. Nobody else could cover Thomas, and Manning, who finds mismatches even under the toughest of circumstances, found this one quickly.

“Talib’s an excellent player,” Manning said, “but Demaryius was going to be a big part of the game plan, either way.”

Thomas finished with seven catches for 134 yards, including receptions of 26 and 27 yards that set up a field goal for a 13-3 lead before the half.

Denver got the ball to start the third quarter, and Manning hit Thomas for 15 and 4 yards as part of the 80-yard, 7:08 touchdown drive that gave Denver the 17-point lead.

It was 23-3 before Brady began the comeback that came up short.

“Peyton Manning is Peyton Manning,” Patriots defensive end Andre Carter said. “He’s a smart player and able to make adjustments when he needs to.”

New England came up a win short of the Super Bowl for the second straight year.

The thought this week was that Bill Belichick’s team was playing with house money, having well exceeded expectations for a team that lost a number of stars — Aaron Hernandez, Wes Welker, Rob Gronkowski — and has been plagued by injuries all year.

But a loss is a loss and facts are facts. Belichick is stuck on three titles and hasn’t won one since the NFL busted him for the Spygate videotaping scandal.

“There were a lot of opportunities in the game that, if we were able to coach better, play better, execute better in any of those areas, it would have given us a chance,” Belichick said.

Manning said Belichick is the best coach he’s ever had to go against. The quarterback insisted this week’s showdown against Brady was more Broncos vs. Patriots than Manning vs. Brady. He lets others decide who’s the greatest at this or that.

But he earned a chance to improve on his already-sterling legacy — one that figures to leave him holding his fifth MVP trophy come Super Bowl week.

A win at MetLife Stadium in two weeks would put him in the same company brother Eli, along with Elway, Roger Staubach and a few others as a twotime Super Bowl winner.

Two weeks for Manning to prepare might feel like a lifetime.

Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning runs the NFL’s No. 1 offense.

Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman is a key cog in the NFL’s No. 1 defense. (Just ask him.)

That intriguing matchup will be one of the main Super Bowl story lines when the AFC champion Broncos (15-3) play the NFC champion Seahawks (15-3) on Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. According to STATS, it’s the first NFL title game since 1991 pitting the team that scored the most points in the regular season against the team that allowed the fewest.

Definitely no upstarts here.

Providing quite a cap to the season, this marks only the second time in the last 20 Super Bowls that the No. 1 seed in each conference reached the NFL championship game. The only other such matchup since 1994 also involved Manning: His Indianapolis Colts lost to the New Orleans Saints in 2010.

Manning does own one Super Bowl title already, having led the Colts past the Chicago Bears in 2007.

Already the only four-time NFL MVP — and expected to earn a fifth such honor when awards are announced the night before the Super Bowl — Manning can become the first starting QB to win titles with two franchises.

“He’s been remarkable,” said Denver’s John Fox, one of six coaches to take two clubs to the league’s title game. “It’s unprecedented what he did.”

In a 26-16 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game Sunday, Manning was pretty much flawless, going 32 of 43 for 400 yards with two touchdowns.

“Peyton played great today,” Brady acknowledged.

And now, inevitably, the two-week buildup until the Super Bowl will be mainly about Manning, just as this entire season has. He is, after all, the player who set NFL records by throwing for 55 touchdowns and 5,477 yards, helping Denver lead the league with 37.9 points and 457.3 yards per game. He is, already, an inescapable pitchman, seen Sunday after Sunday during TV commercials.

Hey, there he was on the screen, selling cars, during the broadcast of the NFC title game. Expect even more face time now.

Manning’s oft-told tale, certain to be repeated a million times in the coming days, includes his comeback from a series of surgical procedures to his neck, attempts to cure problems that led him to sit out the entire 2011 season and led the Colts to send him packing.

Against the Patriots, Manning’s offense scored on six consecutive possessions, accounted for more than 500 yards, had zero turnovers and zero sacks.

Ol’ No. 18’s opposite number in two weeks, Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson, provides a real contrast as he seeks his — and the Seahawks’ — first Super Bowl trophy.

The 6-foot-5 Manning is 37, in his 16th NFL season, a prototypical pocket passer who was a No. 1 overall draft pick after a stellar college career. Wilson is 6 inches shorter, 12 years younger, a skilled scrambler in only his second pro season after slipping to the third round of the draft; he’s a guy who had to transfer colleges to get playing time and thought about pursuing a baseball career instead.

Clearly, Wilson picked the right sport.

“Any time you get to the Super Bowl, it’s a special time,” Wilson said after Seattle beat the San Francisco 49ers 23-17

on Sunday.

Seattle’s defense, led by Sherman, allowed an average of 14.4 points and 273.6 yards this season, both best in football. That unit also led the NFL in takeaways. On Sunday, the Seahawks forced three turnovers in the fourth quarter alone, including a victory-sealing interception by linebacker Malcolm Smith after Sherman stretched his left hand to tip Colin Kaepernick’s pass away from receiver Michael Crabtree in the end zone.

“I’m the best corner in the game,” said Sherman, an All-Pro. “When you try me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that’s the result you’re going to get.”

Seattle’s only other trip to the big game ended with a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2006. Denver will be playing in its seventh Super Bowl and eyeing a third title, to go with those from 1998 and 1999.

Manning can match his younger brother, Eli, with a second Super Bowl crown. Eli, a spectator on Sunday in Denver, won two trophies with the New York Giants, whose stadium hosts this year’s game.

In addition to Wilson, other members of the Seahawks getting the chance to introduce themselves to a wide audience include rugged running back Marshawn Lynch — some fans tossed packs of his favorite candy, Skittles, onto the field after a 40-yard TD run in the third quarter — and coach Pete Carroll, a rah-rah sort who was a title-winning college coach at Southern California.

And maybe some of Manning’s lessheralded defensive teammates — the ones who clamped down on New England’s running game Sunday and limited Brady much of the afternoon — will get their chance to shine, too.

Legacy: Manning holds edge over Brady Continued from Page B-1 weak from nerve damage that he couldn’t make a dart stick in a cork board. He didn’t know whether he would ever play again, much less stand in a storm of confetti holding a trophy. Asked whether he thought he would ever be in this position again, he said, “I can’t say that for sure. I was truly taking things slowly, phase by phase. Nobody could give me a timetable for recovery.”

It’s time to end the laughable argument about where Manning belongs among alltime greats, the charge that he is all statistics and not enough accomplishment, and simply say that he is utterly alone, unique.

Name another aging quarterback with a crooked neck and a half-dead arm who is pugilist enough to set single-season NFL records for touchdowns and yards and reach a third career Super Bowl.

“You have to savor the moment,” he said. “It’s my 16th season and my third Super Bowl, and I know how hard it is to get there. … It’s hard to win, but I’m telling you, it’s hard to get there.”

Suddenly, all the talk about Manning’s deficits in the historical department, the comparisons of his one Super Bowl victory with Brady’s three, seem immaterial.

Guess what? Manning now holds a 2-1

edge over Brady in head-to-head AFC title games, and he has an excellent crack at another Lombardi Trophy.

The pressure on Manning had mounted all week as his accomplishments — or lack thereof — were picked over by experts. “There was a lot of buildup, a lot of drama,” said his elder brother, Cooper. On the night before the game, Cooper texted Peyton to remind him to play the game for what it was, a game. Imagine he was 10 years old again, he advised him. “Have fun,” Cooper said.

“There’s no sense in not.”

It was easier said than done. By kickoff, the steel and glass Sports Authority Field at Mile High was vibrating. Shaped like a giant peaking wave, you feared the stadium might break over the heads of the capacity crowd inside that swayed and roared, virtually every one of the 77,110 in day-glo bright team jerseys.

They stamped their feet, shaking the struts of the stadium, with the rhythm of a locomotive over railroad ties.

Somehow, in all of that, Manning put on an exhibition of executive cool. He used his snap count to coax defenders into “tells,” giveaway twitches. He never overreached, never got greedy, never tried to show up Brady, never overtly

tried to prove himself — or tried to prove any particular point for that matter.

It was a brutally physical game, yet Manning seemed strangely separate from this action, tall and thin-hipped and immaculate-seeming under center, delivering the ball quickly and adroitly stepping out of the way.

His receivers would cut a swath across the field, and Manning would throw a timed rope, then stalk forward, get the offense arranged without huddling and deliver another clothesline pass.

He opened the second half with another touchdown drive so inexorable it seemed automated. This time, the Broncos used up 7:08 as they moved 80 yards, Manning finding Demaryius Thomas at the top of his jump with a three-yard scoring spiral.

“To keep Tom Brady on the sideline is a good thing,” Manning said.

With those two drives totaling more than 14 minutes, Manning literally shortened the game. It was huge, all the difference. It meant Brady only got to play three quarters while Manning played four. By the time Brady got on the field in the fourth quarter, there was just 12:02 to go, and the Patriots trailed 23-3.

Knock out: Seahawks’ defense holds up Continued from Page B-1 “They were going to go out there and get it done whatever it took, and they did it.”

Seattle had a chance to end it when the 49ers had a fourth-and-two at their own 30, with 2:01 left. But San Francisco Colin Kaepernick rolled and hit Frank Gore for 17 yards as the game stopped for the twominute warning.

Kaepernick then hit Michael Crabtree for 16 yards to the 29 with 55 seconds left.

But the Seahawks then made the kind of play that typified their season. Kaepernick tried to hit Michael Crabtree in the end zone, but Sherman tipped the ball to Smith who cradled it in the end zone as CenturyLink erupted.

And when he did, the realization snuck in that the Seahawks will play the Broncos, who beat New England earlier in the day for the AFC title, on Feb. 2 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. “That’s as sweet as it gets, man,” Sherman said.

After a staid first half that ended with the 49ers ahead 10-3, the game took head-spinning turns in the second half.

Seattle took the lead for the first time on a 35-yard pass from Russell Wilson to Jermaine Kearse with 13:44 to play in the game on a fourth-and-seven that made it 20-17.

The Seahawks initially lined up for a field goal, then called time and sent the offense on the field. Aldon Smith jumped offside at the snap, meaning Wilson knew he could throw with no risk.

Kearse had single coverage on Carlos Rogers and caught the ball as he fell into the end zone.

The Seahawks then had two chances

to put the game away, getting 49er turnovers deep in their own territory, but couldn’t.

First, on a third-and-six play, after the 49ers had been called for a delay, Cliff Avril forced another fumble with a strip sack — just as he had done against San Francisco in September — with Michael Bennett recovering and returning it to the 49er 6.

The game then took a haunting turn as San Francisco linebacker NoVarro Bowman suffered a knee injury on play that left Seattle with the ball at the 1-yard-line.

Bowman tried to strip the ball from Kearse on the play and his leg collapsed as Kearse was pushed into him by San Francisco’s Eric Reid. Marshawn Lynch was ruled to have recovered the ball at the 1 as players on both sides began calling for trainers to attend to Bowman, considered by many among the best defensive players in the NFL. On the next play, Lynch had trouble controlling a high handoff and fumbled, with the ball bounding to the 15 before Seattle’s Michael Robinson jumped on it. The 49ers took over there with 8:18 remaining.

Two plays later, Seattle safety Kam Chancellor picked off an underthrown Kaepernick pass intended for Anquan Boldin at the 49er 40 with 7:37 remaining.

That led to a 47-yard field goal by Hauschka that made it 23-17 with 3:37 left.

And unlike two games in December, when the Seahawks took fourth quarter leads only to then give them up, the defense this time held.

The 49ers led 10-3 at the end of a half in which it largely dominated the line of scrimmage.

Wilson used his scrambling to create a 51-yard pass to Doug Baldwin that set up a Seahawk field goal. Otherwise, the Seahawks were held to just 75 yards on their other 28 plays, including just 36 yards rushing on 13 attempts (Lynch getting 33 on 12 before erupting for 109 yards on 22).

The 49ers weren’t much better offensively, with 101 of their 128 first-half yards coming on Kaepernick runs.

But the 49ers were able to parlay a 58-yard run by Kaepernick into a 1-yard plunge by Anthony Dixon.

The game started in the worst possible fashion for Seattle as Wilson fumbled as he was hit by Aldon Smith as he rolled out on the first play of the game. Smith recovered at the 15.

However, the Seattle defense held from there as Kaepernick was stopped two yards shy of a first down on a thirdand-six run, Bobby Wagner racing up to make the tackle.

Phil Dawson gave the 49ers a 3-0 lead on a 25-yard field goal.

The Sherman penalty moved the ball to the 49er 20. Kaepernick then had runs on consecutive plays of 12 and then 58 yards to take it to the 10. Anthony Dixon was initially ruled to have scored on a 1-yard plunge on third down. It was reversed upon review. But Dixon then leapt over on fourth down to put the 49ers ahead 10-0.

It was only the second time all season Seattle trailed by 10 or more at home.

The other time, Seattle rallied from a 21-0 deficit to beat Tampa Bay in overtime.

Parents enable grieving daughter

Dear Annie: My 39-year-old sonin-law died two years ago, quite suddenly and unexpectedly. My daughter is still grieving, which I fully understand, but her grief has turned her into an angry and jealous person.

My husband and I are the only family she has. When she married, she moved close to her husband’s friends, but after he died, they did not keep in touch. She went for counseling right afterward, but said the counselor could not help her because he couldn’t give her what she wanted. She refuses to see a doctor for anti-anxiety medication or an antidepressant.

I want to be helpful and supportive, but her difficult personality is now putting a strain on our health, not to mention our marriage. We call her a few times a day and are always here if she needs to talk, but she is so angry and hateful that every conversation becomes stressful. How much support must we offer? I would like to entertain people again and perhaps travel, but we would feel guilty leaving her on her own. — No Name, No State, Please Dear No Name: You may think you are helping your daughter, but you are actually enabling her to be emotionally dependent on you, allowing her to avoid dealing with her own issues. You need to scale back. Encourage her to seek counseling again or to attend a grief support group through a local hospital or hospice. Then plan your vacations and your entertainment. You can still stay in touch as often as you wish.

She may object to your having a life while she doesn’t, but that is her choice.

Dear Annie: I am in my 80s and live a great distance from my grandchildren. I always send them cards (with money) for birthdays and Christmas, but seldom, if ever, do I get a thank you, whether written or oral.

That’s bad enough. But when it is my birthday, I get a card from

Sheinwold’s bridge

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH You could be making an error if you choose not to absorb what is said in a meeting with others. Tonight: Find your friends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH You like to perform and achieve the highest level of excellence possible. Holding back a certain feeling will take a toll on you. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Make a point of seeing the whole picture, and refuse to sell yourself short.

Your way of dealing with a problem could change once you do. Tonight: Hop on the Internet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Don’t allow someone else to do your dirty work. Reach out and communicate with others directly. Follow this suggestion, and keep all interpersonal matters on a one-on-one level. Tonight: Togetherness works.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You have a strong mind, but a partner will need to think a situation through and come up with his or her own conclusion.

Tonight: Out and about.

Today in history Today is Monday, Jan. 20, the 20th day of 2014. There are 345 days left in the year.

This is the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

Today’s highlight in history: On Jan. 20, 1981, Iran released 52 Americans it had held hostage for 444 days, minutes after the presidency had passed from Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan.

Hocus Focus

my children with the names of my grandchildren included. These grandkids are in their late 20s and do not live with their parents. At what point do they start taking responsibility for sending their own cards?

I would love to get a card directly from my grandchildren, signed by them in their own handwriting, making it more personal. How do I arrange this? — Neglected Grandma Dear Grandma: This is actually something your children should have taught their own kids, but instead, they are covering for them so you don’t feel you’ve been forgotten. We don’t believe your grandchildren are deliberately ignoring these occasions.

We think they are oblivious to how much it means to you. If you have a good relationship with your grandchildren, tell them that you’d appreciate a card for your birthday directly from them. Ask whether they have your address. If you have email, suggest they send you an e-card. When your birthday is due, remind them in a lighthearted, humorous way. We hope they come through.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Concerned Water Conservator,” who is amazed at the amount of water people waste. Since my town decided to charge for every drop that residents use, I place an empty pan to catch gray water in my kitchen and bathroom sinks, and I use a bucket in the shower to catch the cold water as it’s warming up. I then use the water for my vegetable garden and cleaning the house. Both my son and I turn off the shower while soaping down, then turn it on when we’re ready to rinse. I was amazed at how much water I wasted. — Nebraska Dear Nebraska: Thanks for the great suggestions.

Annie’s Snippet (credit Martin Luther King Jr.): Procrastination is still the thief of time. Over the bleached bones and jumbled residues of numerous civilizations are written the pathetic words: “Too Late.”
